    I didn’t realize you could put the steam deck to sleep with a game still running. I had assumed it would cause game issues.

      Nope. No issues at all. Uses up like 5% of the battery per day to be suspended like that, so if I’m playing through a game I can play the entire thing without ever seeing a boot screen or intro or having to worry about getting to a save point. Just right back into or out of the game within a couple seconds.

        I love that feature so much. I have played through at least 20 backlog single player games with my deck. Amazing games that I could never finish before because it’s apparently too much to ask for my brain.

        I often have issues with the sound though depending on the game after waking it up again, which is annoying. The sound is cracking and partially distorted.
