The steam deck's suspend functionality really gives some crazy session count numbers.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Oh that explains mine then

Wasn't sure how I clocked an average of nearly 4 sessions a day

[–] Kirca@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And play time too, I played a game for about 10 hours on the week I bought it but steam reported 600hrs.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) it corrected itself after playing on PC for a few mins, still if it hadn't, silly crab dark souls would have been my 3rd most played steam game ever

[–] nous@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I saw that when playing a game, it counted the time since it was opened while playing. But always saw it correct itself to actual time running withing a few seconds/minutes of closing the game on the deck.

I was wondering, lol. My numbers are very inflated, too.

What's funny about mine is that almost all of my "Windows" playtime is actually from streaming to my Deck, too.

Switched from Windows to Linux about 1.5 years ago, fun to see 0% windows this year.

Microsoft is doing a banging job, two years ago I had only a little bit of Steam Deck in there against Windows. And just mid October I put Linux on the gaming computer…

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No chart for me, just Linux

[–] kayazere@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

I didn’t have a platform chart either. I guess they only show it if you play on multiple platforms.

Linux only for me as well.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 11 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah, fuck Windows.

Can't believe a quarter of my playtime was The Witcher 3. I don't know if I would've even finished it if I played on PC, it's so damn long. I don't play much AAA though I guess, but JRPGs are long too.

Also, it just occured to me that I spent plenty of time emulating too though...

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

no surprise it shows i'm obsessed with jrpgs

[–] donio@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If I had to sum mine up it's been Isaac on the Steam Deck and Tabletop Simulator on Linux. And a bunch of other stuff on both.

[–] polysics@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The other 6% was a few multiplayer sessions of Warhammer Vermintide with friends which I guess I could have played on the deck but I needed the KBM and bigger screen.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah no windows on mine!

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm always sad my steamdeck stat is so low. I only use it to play ps2 games and watch movies.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Not everyone needs a steam deck. I know a couple people who have them and barely use them.

But for people like me, it's been a massive improvement to how often I'm able to play.
