My wife will only play it on the deck because of this.
Comment on The sorry state of saving (mostly a rant)

yeah, it absolutely annoys me in stardew. made me stop playing the game after a while.
only thing that saved it (pun inteded) for me was that I was playing on a steamdeck, and I could just turn it off when I needed to do something else

Yeah, OP, based on my experience with the Deck, for a vast majority of games you can just go to the ingame pause screen, press power button to “sleep” the Deck, and then resuming later has no impact.
There are a few games that maybe had audio issues or something after resume but nothing major if your main concern was simply avoiding losing progress.

True, but then you have to keep playing the same game in order to do that. Doesn’t work all the time either, at least for me. I do appreciate everyone does this their own way so I think it is great that this works comparatively well.
