Awesome, thanks.

What's a good game to play on a long haul flight?
Something offline. Runs well and doesn't destroy the battery.

Ordered on Saturday and it arrived Wednesday from the Netherlands, glad it came quickly as I'm away for a week next week so I'll be putting it through it's paces.
I got the oled version and it looks great.
It's pretty thin and slippery naked so I've put it in a jsaux modcase and it feels much nicer now plus it's protected. Also got the jsaux carry case and dock.
Check the link to see a load of pics if you're interested in the size difference.
Steam deck with modcase and carrycase
The carry case isn't much bigger than the free one that comes with it but had room inside for the deck in it's modcase even with the screen protector on plus all the accessories like charger, powerpack, dock etc.

I bought the Pro Case Flip, and agree it's much better than the OG case.
Yeah I do miss not being able to store the charger with the case but 90% of the time I don't need the charger to be with me.
This list is mainly games that will not drain the battery excessively (I'd also recommend a 45W-rated power bank):
Hades/Hades 2
Into the Breach
Factorio
Dredge
Vampire Survivors
Tunic
Brotato
Dead Cells

I've been playing Space Invaders Extreme and wouldn't imagine that would drain the battery too much? I'll need to give a test next time I'm playing - it's great fun, too.
I hadn't been on a flight in years and took two 22.5w power banks. Turns out all the seats had power outlets on them. Got a nice chunk of Deck and Switch time in.

What the golf, streets of rage 4, dirt 3 / showdown have all been pretty frugal for me too.
Currently smashing through Prodeus (which is also 99p on cdkeys btw) this plays so well on the SD
