May be a bad place to ask, but I’ve been thinking about getting back into some retro games, and some of the newer indie games that aren’t to tough to run. Do any of you have, and recommend a steam deck? I see quite a few for decent prices nearby, and was thinking of grabbing one.

I don't recommend it for the type of gaming you're looking to do. I specifically bought one to have access to the thousands of games I have on Steam only to be met with a vast majority of them not being supported. Furthermore, the battery life is fucking atrocious. It might last 3 and a half hours or so playing games that are not very graphics intensive

I do have a nice steam library with things from past sales I haven’t played yet, but this is the first I’m hearing of things not being supported. Dam, that sucks. As far as battery life, as long as it can handle at least 2.5 hours, that’s ok with me. Does it charge pretty quick, and I’m guessing you can play it while plugged in?

If you use the charger it comes with, it seems to charge pretty quick. I've used other chargers though in a pinch, and it takes forever that way.
As far as the games, it's really weird what is and isn't supported. For instance, the "Tales of " series. Vesperia, Symphonia, and even the latest game Arise work flawlessly, but for some reason other entries in the series like Berseria aren't supported.
