What do you use the back buttons for?

I have really been loving my steam deck lately. I’ve now played through Fallout 3, New Vegas, all of their respective DLCs, and am about 100hrs into 4 right now.

Normally I play indie games since that’s where my interests are and I grow tired of the AAA jackassery.

I mention that to illustrate that I do use and live the deck. But I guess I’m not creative enough to use the back buttons at all. So to the title question:

What games do you play that make the most use of the back buttons?
What functions are mapped to those buttons?
Or are you like me and just never use them?

Does Valheim still cause the fan to go crazy or did they further optimize on the deck? I admittedly haven’t tried it since right after buying the thing.

  It doesn’t seem to make my fan go nuts. I have been playing it for a while on the deck and can’t recall that issue.
