Note, while you can change the UMA buffer size doing so may cause games to start randomly crashing due to running out of memory. So a game that has been marked as verified may start crashing in all sorts of random situations if that setting isn't set to 1GB

The steam deck is the most comfortable and useful controller, period.

I’ve got an OLED Deck showing up today this is going to be my guide 😉😂

[hollis]

I just gotta say, Thank you Russ from Retro Game Corps for introducing me to the Nerd Nest Podcast and thus introducing me to you Bill and this amazing channel. Your channel is now one of my favorites to watch and learn from and the Podcast too

[WarMomPT]

Not to downplay the rest, but oh my god, that 'hold to turbo' macro is genius. Here I am mapping it to back paddle buttons like a sucker.

Steam Input also offers a small feature that a lot of people probably missed and I don't blame them. It's Anti-Deadzone Buffer. The issue it solves is that a lot of old games like the ones for PS2 have artificial deadzone around 20% of the whole stick movement. That is especially noticeable in racing games, but with anti-deadzone buffer you can basically remove that deadzone entirely. Absolute game changer for me! Try it for yourself and you will be amazed.

Bill—I just got back into Skyrim on Deck. Why do I feel like I haven’t slept in 4 days? 😂 This is like my 5th playthrough and I’m hooked AGAIN. 😂😂

"Allowing Tearing" gave me a big boost for RDR2.

I have watched a lot of Steam Deck videos so far, but none of them were as detailed, and unique as yours. Thanks

Best thing I did was first switch my Wifi over to the 5G channel, then in Developer mode disable Wifi power management, and now my downloads to the SSD are lightning fast.

The steam input updates are awesome. Only thing missing is being able to use it as an actual controller for PC.

[Talon]

I won’t ever change the case from the OG case my deck came with it’s the best bc of the storage for the charger on the back 😂

[sporkwitch]

With the kill options, anything super-quick equivalent to alt+f4 (windows) or ctrl+esc (linux)? I may or may not save scum on deaths in the mines in Stardew Valley... (literally just ordered one to play stardew as I got sick of waiting for Switch updates, and I like playing it on the go, not at my desk).

[disasterincarnate]

the VRAM/UMA Frame Buffer setting is the "Minimum" allocated on boot, linux and the steam deck can dynamically allocate more if it needs it and more ram is available, you dont need to mess with that unless you have a specific game where the ram is being eaten by the cpu/game leaving too little for your gfx allocation. Typically only windoze users need to worry about that setting.

[mikiification]

Or just leave it at 1 gb and let the Deck increase it in game. You can increase it to 4-8 gb if you modded your LCD deck to 32 gb Ram.
Don´t use Cryo on the 3.6, the Deck does it better on default

[SwearJar]

I just downloaded some ram, worked like a charm

36:36 - correction: that’s how much time you have left before the battery runs out of juice under the current load ❤

Hi guys.
Tempted to get a steam deck oled but I'm concerned there's either an xbox handheld or a steam deck 2 within 12 months or so.

Plus the steam deck internals are 2 years+ old now and bigger games chugging it seems too 🤔🤔🤔

[christopherknight]

Just learned about the turbo feature because of you; its been a game changer! Thank you so much for these types of videos.

[meylandgravel]

Hi Bill,

I just want to let you know, I know most of this stuff, but I keep listening while I'm doing the dishes because the blend of your voice with the background music is so relaxing.

Thank you.

[JuanPablo-nxoc]

It would be great if you put a comparison between the different cases and the official, so i can tell how much more is compact
