I keep seeing recommendation threads, but I’m more curious about the weird surprises.

What’s a game you didn’t expect to work well on the Deck, or didn’t even buy for handheld play, that somehow became the thing you keep launching when you just want something comfortable?

For me, the interesting part is when the fit is not obvious. Maybe the controls should have been annoying, the text should have been too small, or the genre should have felt wrong on a handheld, but the Deck changed how you experienced it.

What was yours, and why did it work?

I've been thinking about AI tutoring less as a replacement for teachers and more as a first layer of help for students who do not already have easy access to a patient adult.

On the optimistic side, a student can ask basic questions without embarrassment, repeat an explanation five times, get examples in their own language, or turn messy notes into a study plan. That feels like a real access shift, especially for students who do not have private tutors, educated parents, or quiet time with a teacher.

But I am also skeptical that access to answers automatically becomes equity. The students who benefit most may still be the ones with devices, good prompts, enough motivation, stable internet, adults who check the work, and schools that help them use the tool well. Without that support, AI could become another thing that looks equal on paper but widens the gap in practice.

So I am curious how people here think about it from an edtech/classroom perspective:

Where does AI tutoring actually reduce inequality?

Where does it just amplify existing support?

And what would a school need to put around it so it becomes more than a homework shortcut?
