The SD isn't the best PC handheld specs wise, but the community around it and the software support from Valve makes it the best option for most.

[@baldlyrudy]

100% agree with you.

[@AJRFans]

My steam deck is coming tomorrow! I am excited!

[@baldlyrudy]

Nice! Congrats!

[@user-vo7cu5xc5u]

Are you enjoying it. Would you recommend? I want something to play my games when I visit family but can't take my entire pc

[@thatzaliasguy]

Official Valve Dock also supports VRR for external displays, which is why its the best dock option for the Steam Deck.

[@kottonstream9119]

So does the gr10 Ben q dock .

[@fairphoneuser9009]

1st step: play Aperture Desk Job 2nd step: play your favorite game that's played with a controller 3rd step: play an RTS game with the trackpad 4th step: install Decky Loader and search for nice plugins

@@kwicksandz I'm good with OG ally. I've had it for a year now and I never have any problems all my games work fine and smooth. Why wait for something that is not available if there is a better device that is more powerful and no limitations and can play all games in pc.

[@ItsMendes]

Brother, at the very least they have it announced, we in south america are still waiting for Valve to say something like "Yes, we have plans for the future" or "No, just give up and get something else"

[@jeanmarcwatson]

It's been available since 19th Nov

[@InitialDL84]

Got my Steam Deck last year in March, but nice to get an updated video on the essentials. Thanks!

[@baldlyrudy]

You're welcome! Appreciate the comment man.

[@rausha]

Having a descriptive timeline would be better. "App One" and "App Two" do not provide clarity.

[@ttl8me]

Been playing video games since the days of Nintendo Family Computer, Super Nintendo, PS1, PS2.. Then I stopped playing. After watching the early reviews of the Steamdeck, I got really excited because of Emudeck. I bought mine January 2023, and since then, I never stop playing video games. Steamdeck is the game changer.. I know it'll be a while but Can't wait for Steamdeck 2!

[@heyhey3556]

Just Ordered the limited white steam deck edition and can’t wait to get my hands on those!!! Literally sold my lcd 512gb SD last 3 months ago and I regret selling that stuff but! Now we back again! Getting a even much better SD 😁😁

[@baldlyrudy]

Now that's an upgrade! Just you wait. The OLED is a fantastic upgrade.

[@Marcelo83uk]

Managed to get the white one on Monday.. cannot wait for it to arrive here in the uk over the next few days, it's my first deck so very excited :)

[@baldlyrudy]

Niiiiice! Congrats!!!

[@shawn_mb]

Just ordered the OLED Steam Deck! This video dropped at the perfect time, thank you! :)

[@baldlyrudy]

@@shawn_mb nice! Congrats!

[@BoimlerBrad]

Same comes tomorrow so excited actually. Ordered 2 my wife said she didn't want one but that just means she wants one she loves the sims 4 and I did not want my deck getting stolen 😂

[@sidhu704]

Same! So excited

[@ShinigamiRaziel]

What game are you playing at 4:33?

[@baldlyrudy]

Gunbrella

[@77chiqui]

Just received my white steam deck and I am super excited. Trying to get it set up and all so I can test it out.

[@baldlyrudy]

Congrats!

[@nikkifromthemitten]

I bought the Rog Ally X and Steamdeck (just got it yesterday) to compare and see which one I prefer. The only thing I'm concerned about is the unsupported games on Steamdeck. I don't want to be limited to what I can play.

[@kyguythedoglover]

@nikkifromthemitten you can dualboot windows on steam deck, but sadly, audio is still not working

[@nikkifromthemitten]

@kyguythedoglover i kept the rog ally x as I didn't want limitations in what I could play. Very happy with my decision.

[@kyguythedoglover]

@nikkifromthemitten if you're fine with spending the extra money, then ya the rog Alley x is faster and works better with windows than steam deck, so your point is valid 😃

[@hutterchan]

Great video man! Got your self a new subscriber!

[@baldlyrudy]

Thanks man! Much appreciated. 🙌

Tryna get a steam deck for christmas, need to convince me family that it’s good, so do you have any pros and cons of the steam deck? Love your content btw!

[@baldlyrudy]

Hey! Did a video talking about this exact thing a few months back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKvMgJaYp96DZ7c

[@Apextherandomassdude]

@ thanks!

[@mateojorge8412]

Great video! Do you know if there's a reliable page where you can get the limited edition Steam Deck in black today?

[@baldlyrudy]

The only place that I know that would have it is a reseller on eBay. It's sold out through official means. And thanks! I made that video super late after work.

[@markaznar1979]

Of course it is more than okay. Have you heard of the words, NINTENDO SWITCH? 🤣

[@baldlyrudy]

😅

[@StiffAftermath]

Do Emudeck's emulators like the PSX, PS2, NDS, GbA require bios files?

[@baldlyrudy]

Yes.

[@StiffAftermath]

@baldlyrudy OK. Dang.

[@dr.chungusphd108]

The new white one looks pretty slick.

[@baldlyrudy]

I keep telling myself I don't need it. 😅🫠

[@WhatMACHI]

Because the Deck has Xbox style button layout and the 8bitdo ultimate has a Nintendo button layout, does that mean you’re alternating between the layouts or have you configured the 8bitdo to operate with the Xbox style layout?

[@baldlyrudy]

You configure the controller, but through the settings in SteamOS.

[@providencez9496]

You mentioned that the Cryo Utilities will sometimes not work. Well i guess i would never know since i capped my fps for every game...

[@baldlyrudy]

Ah. Apologies. I misspoke. What I meant was the installation sometimes doesn't work. I had to install it twice before seeing results. But now everything is good to go.

[@providencez9496]

[@glenbailey8356]

Does lossless scaling not boost fps on deck ?

[@baldlyrudy]

Not out of the box. You'll need to install Windows in order for Lossless Scaling to work. As far as I know, it doesn't work with SteamOS/Linux.

[@solos2111]

What are the games that he played in the vid plz

[@baldlyrudy]

1. Metaphor ReFantazio 2. Control 3. Gunbrella 4. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom I may have missed one or another, but that's them.

[@artsfreak98]

I need to save this video

[@danielkoch8736]

STOP STOP STOP 0:45 the Steam Deck is literally the only PC handheld that's worth it right now. The windows based ones are horrible according to software and longevity, since the Steam Deck is based on Linux, which is Open Source. So if Valve suddenly stops to support it, the Community can support it themselfs, that's why its so important that it's Open Source. If you want something with more power, just buy a PC, but not a bullshit handheld which is not the Steam Deck... to the love of the community, for your experience and your wallet...

[@OBINNAASUZU]

Feb 22 means its approaching 3 years not 2

Chaki4deck I can’t get it no more??

[@AaronFournier]

Coincidentally I just installed it the other day. Chiaki4Deck appears to be unavailable now (or at least I had issues finding it), but chiaki-ng is available when searching the Discover software center in desktop mode. I was able to add that as a non-Steam game and it worked perfectly.

[@nirorit]

Thanks, but honestly nothing here screams to me I HAVE TO DO IT, just play some games and chill.

[@baldlyrudy]

No worries. It's your handheld. 🤝

[@Nyyvv]

Do that first, don't buy the low garbage in the first place 😂

Dude. It's not a Dell. 🤣

Yeah if you want to make it worse

​@@WHYNOTONYDoes windows make it worse? Yes, it's worse then SteamOS usability wise but not compatibility wise, I dual boot W11 and SteamOS so I can play games pass games
