as someone that bought his first computer in 1986, this device after 2 years of ownership still boggles my mind.

[@MrpUberThemes]

Dude, was it a Speccy? Cuz that's what I had for Xmas that year and this July my Deck is 2years old and I honestly can't imagine gaming any other way 😊

Dang, last time I was this early, my wife was pissed.

Modding on the steam deck is a game changer, getting dlss/fsr3 frame gen mod for cyberpunk was an eye opener never thought I'd be playing games like cyberpunk with 70 plus fps on the steam deck I'll be exploring more frame gen mods for games

@@gg_sheed What’s the best settings to play Spider Man Remastered on Steam Deck?

[@iconicfreezegaming3989]

Nice tips man. Going to check out the compatibility list for Mafia 3. Right now it says unsupported. However, MK11 works pretty good on my deck despite it saying it's unsupported

[@YOLOLAND]

Thank you for the video

[@brisingr14]

Finally got my steam oled. Let's go!

[@Northeastmarco]

Enjoy!!! Ever since I got my Oled. It has been nothing but a dream handheld. Best handheld experience I have had to date.

[@rudiedj23]

512 or 1 Gig?

[@brisingr14]

@@Northeastmarco same.

[@brisingr14]

@@rudiedj23 512 gig. I wasnt sure if I wanted the antiglare screen but I just ended up going with the cheaper model 😅

[@rudiedj23]

@@brisingr14Yea, I keep bouncing back and forth and thinking the additional storage would be nice as well.

[@valhallaoutcast]

great guide one thing I think you missed saying is for all those performance tweaks like TDP an frame limit etc you can toggle Use per game profile, that way you can set TDP and Frame limit to that game only but leave global settings on default

[@gg_sheed]

Right yes I was thinking this right after I posted! Forgot to mention thank you

[@bhrojas09]

good tips, but work on your mic location. Got volume maxed out and can barely hear you

[@gg_sheed]

Darn really? Sorry about that will def make it better!

[@ultgamingbyher]

@@gg_sheedit’s not very low on my phone with less than 25% volume

[@verse8833]

Na, audio is fine, it's your phone homeboy.

[@vaassick8016]

Oh please make that video on modding games on SD..I first got mine when the oled came out I tried figuring it out and just gave up cuz im not that savvy and how to vids tended to lose me

[@Chuckinator_85]

For FSR the resolution has to be put into windowed mode for it to work a lot of the time too.

[@gg_sheed]

Interesting! Didn’t know this

[@Chuckinator_85]

@@gg_sheed yes make sure you see FSR enabled in green when your performance overlay is up on 4 or it isn't working. Glad to help.

[@nexuiz6142]

In some AAA games even if you can play at 60fps you should try 45fps (with 90hz) it is very close to playing at 60fps and you can limit more TDP and save baterry

[@gg_sheed]

Yea 45fps is underrated for sure

[@mightywelsh2787]

Man everytime I see what you can do with this thing I think…I gotta get one….

Any tips for a Canadian trying to buy through financing? 🤔 🇨🇦

[@gg_sheed]

I don’t unfortunately 😔

[@melihyurtlu7246]

I did 12 tdp.

[@freeartshow8404]

When I’m in desktop mode the download speed is god awfully slow , any tips ?

[@gg_sheed]

Which steam deck do you have and what’s your internet speed from your provider?

[@Chuckinator_85]

Decky is not good right now after an update about a week ago or so. I tried reinstalling it last night, and I saw how buggy it still was. So I wiped it from my Deck.

[@gg_sheed]

Oh wow interesting. I haven’t had any issues with it but I may not be running the latest update

[@rocraider163]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@justincloward3362]

You got the OLED!

[@gg_sheed]

Haha yup 🤣 the upgrade was definitely worth it!

[@1stHuemanAmerican]

U Albinos don't have OLED lol

[@stryderblaze80]

Anyone here have D-Pad issues after getting it out of the box? I have already had to return mine.

[@gg_sheed]

I haven’t had those issues with the 2 SDs that I’ve owned so far. What exactly was the issue you saw?

[@stryderblaze80]

@@gg_sheed The Up/Left, UP/Right require multiple inputs before it registers properly. Then Down/right and Down/Left require double roll motion for singular roll command. Example Shinkuu Hadoken motion only produces a Hadoken.

[@gg_sheed]

Yea I have seen other people have issues with diagonal inputs using the steam deck. But im not sure if that’s a flaw or part. Of their design for now. You returned it for a new one or did you get a different device entirely

[@stryderblaze80]

@gg_sheed Returned it for a new one. If it doesn't work, then I'll make a permanent return.
