You're a top 5 steam deck content provider on this site, keep it up fam

I've had my Steam Deck for a few months now and didn't realize how easy using plugins was. Very informative video.

VibrantDeck is my personal favorite. It makes the colors pop so much more.

I already had the same plug-ins as you except for 5...so because of you, I downloaded Decky Recorder, Game Theme Music, Pause Games, and Storage Cleaner. I cannot use Controller Tools because I use an XBOX Elite Series 2 controller. 

Plug-ins I want to recommend are:
*AutoFlatpaks* - to manage, notify, and automatically update flatpaks from game mode without having to go to desktop mode to update them.
*DeckRoulette* - to navigate to a random game in your library or a Steam Collection for those days when you suffer 'choice paralysis'.

Really good overview man, on the point! Its really the best video I saw for plugins and you also have shortly described ups and downs. I like the way you are creating your videos and your creating your own style for us. Its really perfect. Thanks bro.

Storage Cleaner is a MUST HAVE for users with low internal memory decks. Shader cache and compatdata builds up over time and takes a choke hold on the internal drive. Being able to clean it right there in gaming mode is so convenient! Great video!

[MJosephJr]

Great video! I would suggest the Roulette plug-in. That one is great when you don’t know what game to play, it picks a random game you own for you.

I have watch countless of videos plugins for the steam deck and by far you have been the most helpful not only with your explanation of what they do but also with the user friendly delivery. Def will share with my friends. Keep up the good work.

Pause game plug in sounds amazing!!!! I love Elden Ring but most of the time when I play on my deck it's because I'm watching my 2 year old son. And he does not care if I'm in the middle of a boss fight 😂

Steam deck it’s getting better and better each day 💪🙏

Just got a steam deck and wow! I didnt know how cool and useful these steam plugins could be. Im loving the new arthero UI looks so clean. And the time to beat plugin is gaming changing thanks!

Those UGREEN cables are some of my favorite, I need to order more!

[gustavinus]

Deleting the shader cache will make the games run slower until it repopulates the caches. May also get some stutters here an there. So, it is nice to have the option, but should not be done for games you are still playing frequently.

Havnt seen your steam deck content before, its top tier! You got a new sub forsure! I had most of these but storage cleaner i had no idea about, thats huge, thank you so much! And im sorry but could you go into more detail on how pause games works, like what the switches do? Other than pause the game when you click it i mean.

[patbateman]

Didn't think I could get anything else out of videos like this, but I clicked just in case, and it definitely helped. Thank you, sir!

Can't find deck settings as of this date. Was looking forward to sharing settings, but all other tools super useful

[VperLowKY]

100k finally! Congrats my friend, keep it up

[thekidako]

Another great video! You are my go to guy for the steam deck. Keep it up Midas!!

[ExzelisGaming]

My personal favourite themes on CSS Loader are Avatar Customization Suite (choose Round Edge option), Darken Unfocused Games & DellyVolume. They are so simple yet make such a big difference on the Steam Deck. 😆

[MrHitStick]
