Mastering The Steam Deck: Did You Know It Can Do This?

[@gg_sheed]

You all convinced me... I bought Upgraded to the Steam Deck OLED and here's my follow up video! 😅 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6DRqaidmdyFa80

very nice - can you make any tutorials for that stuff

He’s not telling you everything. They don’t all work. Doom Eternal is a classic example of 1000s of others. The paddles need to be available and aren’t. You won’t make it past the fist sentinel robot. He’s kind of full of shit.

[@Yakobu90]

You certainly do not need the OLED. The LCD model is a great PC. I use mine more as a desktop than a gaming device.

[@gg_sheed]

Thanks for letting me know haha. It has calmed my temptation a bit

[@DragonQueefs]

You don't need a steam deck at all either. Not everybody is going to use it as a desktop PC like you are either.

[@zomg346]

You don’t but if you got the money you should definitely upgrade the battery alone is such a upgrade over 50% more battery time

[@DragonQueefs]

@@zomg346 it's 30-50% better

[@seajay632]

​@DragonQueefs I can literally play my fave indies for 10 hours and triple A games for around 3. That's both on max settings. Amazing. You don't need even a LCD Steam Deck but if you have the money then I would recommend. 'You don't need it' can be said about anything apart from the obvious stuff.

This video has definitely strengthened my decision to purchase the deck. Was on the fence for the past 2 weeks 😂

😂😂 glad I could help! Sorry for your wallet

[@Unabomber-Gumbi]

It becomes a lot more worth the purchase when you’re getting a hand held PC that can emulate (any console) and can also play PC games at a steady and decent frame rate. Plus desktop mode works perfectly and I could use the deck as a spare PC if need be

No need for sunlight/moonlight stuff. Just activate remote play in the settings.

[@infasis]

Moonlight works directly with the GPU or something. I don't remember exactly how it works, but if you've tried both it's immediately obvious how much better it works over Steam's native option. The latency feels so much better that it really makes me hope Valve does something to get theirs to this quality.

[@xellaz]

Tha'ts the power of Linux! 💪🐧 People on the fence should give Linux a chance to be their main OS. It has become much easier to use and more secure than Windows. Steam Deck desktop mode is basically immutable Arch distro using KDE Plasma desktop environment which resembles Windows a lot so most people should get familiar fast.

I hate to be locked to store fronts but the fact that steam keys are available at many great digital stores is amazing for deals like humble ,fanatical, and many others. Just like with ps remote play there is game pass (don’t know the interaction with the actual console) but it is amazing to add to your library for a limited time. I have like 2500+ steam games and there still countless games I only have access to and haven’t let my subscription to game pass lapsed since. I personally fell in love with pc a long time ago and always wanted an actual mobile version because a laptop was just too cumbersome and expensive. Love my steam deck even if it’s mostly to play in bed when I can’t get on my pc.

Nice Video ! I also got an LCD Version and absolute happy with it. Upgraded it to 1 tb ssd by myself it has become my main gaming system, i also got an old gaming desktop pc and a gaming notebook but to be honest the Deck with the docking station is my favorite. I also bought a pretty fast samsung sd and installed Windows 11 on it, so i can use some anticheat games and also use Netflix & Prime Video App with movie downloads. To go totaly hardcore i got a mobile 16" screen with bluetooth keyboard, mouse and Xbox gamepad. All that stuff suits into a backpack with equal weight to a gaming laptop. This is the best piece of hardware i bought in the past few years. i know it´s not not the high end gaming machine but to be honest the emulation of old systems catches me as well as indie games like Project Zomboid ( which plays great on Deck ). I also play God of War, State of Decay 2 and Tekken 7 or Street Figther 6 and they work perfect maybe not with max. details but as i always say : The best graphics do not make the best game. A great game at low details is still a great game and boring game with high end graphics at the end is just a ...... Greetz from Germany

I do recommend it due to where the system's vents are, but you can get off brand and probably still work just fine. I heard you could install non steam games, but I refuse to dual boot windows.

[@gg_sheed]

Good tip!

[@infasis]

Did you contact Valve? If you were close to release there's probably good odds they would've helped you return it for an OLED. (Or still even might, if you get lucky) (I preordered my LCD model the day they went live, and I'm still dismayed that I didn't just wait to get the OLED. The upgrades go far beyond the screen. I've already had to RMA over two issues, where components were faulty (fan bearings/loud grindy fan and unresponsive shoulder button, after not that many presses/light use). Thankfully, they did a good job fixing them, but the OLED likely wouldn't have even had those problems. For instance, if my shoulder button stopped working again though and I'm out of warranty, it would also be way easier to fix on the OLED too... The screen is the biggest most visible upgrade, but there's far more internal ones, with not only upgraded components, but better ease of repairability. They're significant enough that it kinda makes us LCD users look like beta testers.) Edit: Oh, derp.. I just saw the pinned comment... Ah well, maybe it will help someone else :/

I also have the LCD. I wish I had waited, but I still love my deck. I don't really have the money to spend for the oled even if I sell my lcd model. Currently playing deep rock galactic survival and cult of the lamb.

I feel you the lcd is still great for the money

Good stuff. Please preach trackpads. I cannot emphasize how incredibly important they are. I'd challenge you to force yourself using right trackpad for camera controls. It's a game changer and I feel that people just don't bother to give it a shot. I'm personally at the point where my main reason for wanting to upgrade to new steamdeck is that trackpads have been upgraded on the new model.

Wait really? I didn’t know the trackpads were upgraded too! I’ll check that iut

@@gg_sheed there was like 38 or so upgrades but valve only pushed for oled screen in advertisement. I think memory is upgraded too it's faster now, joysticks and much more. Skillup has a full video on it.
