The last reason is why I want a Steam Deck. I have a PC, but lately, I rather not sit at a desk to play video games in the same place I do work in.

I just wanted to inform people of what happens if you drop your Steam Deck. Because I did this Christmas from a pretty high height (1.6m) onto a stone floor... Once I realized it, everything kind of happened in slow motion. but I was surprised of how the steam deck turned around and fell flat on its legs... kind of like a cat... It's almost like the weight distribution of the device forces it into that direction. Nothing happened to it *phew*. when I picked it up it was like nothing happened. it feelt like an absolute tank when it hit the floor xD

Thanks for this video brotha. I love videos like these. Just got my deck and I'm trying to figure out all the cool things to either buy or do to my steam deck id probably overlook myself without watching one of these videos

[madpoet]

Dude thanks for posting, knew all this - knew I was gonna know all this - watched it anyway. Good content bro!

A little tip: The 40frames thing is *outdated* as this was BEFORE the 90Hz screen. You can even see it in your own video! The screen gets dumped down to 80Hz if you do 40FPS.
The actual level you want is 45FPS because THIS keeps the 90Hz running instead of reducing it to a lower level.

I'm just excited for the LAN party possibilities, got a couple cousins some decks and games, it's so nice playing games with family and not being stuck in our rooms.

Waiting on my oled steam deck to arrive. Got this for that reason of growing amount of games I bought but don't have time to play. Can't wait to get caught up

[CleoPhoenixRT]

Oh man, I'm so excited. I spent so much on the husband and the kids this Christmas and thought "I'm going to treat myself. Merry Christmas to me!" 😄 I'm going to start looking at screens and SD cards today. Thanks a lot for the tips!

[MightyMoon]

Thank you for this! I just ordered a 1TB Steamdeck Oled and I’m so excited! I’m definitely going to have fun (but probably also some frustration) figuring stuff out.

Love mine. The deck is the first product EVER that somehow delivered me a product with zero buyer's remorse and then Valve revised it and gave me even less with the second purchase 😊

3:43 Now that you say NIS shouldn't be confused with DLSS it does also make sense to mention that the FSR used in the scaling filter is FSR 1 which isn't the same as FSR 2. FSR 2 is better but requires the game implements it where FSR 1 works on any game thereby it can be used in this scaling filter options, so if the game has FSR 2 (or above) implemented it might be better to use that than the scaling filter.

Great great video man, thanks for that! Gonna receive my deck in just a few days and im really hyped now 😊

[The_Zxirius]

Hi I got a bit confused, if I have the 1tb oled which screen protector should I get in order to not nullify the anti glare properties of the screen?

[BigWynter]

Great video bud! I'd already convinced myself I wanted one, but thank you for the additional confirmation bias!

[Rayve]

This video went straight up to my favorites.
I am so excited. I was browsing all the consoles and i think Steam Deck is what i have been looking for.
I dont want to get up from the couch and i dont want to rebuy all my games. Plus i get a mini PC and can do PC stuff with it. :D

[gazagne]

Awesome pace and content and vibe 🎉 Well done sir

[weizhongkwan]

Thank you for the video! It’s really helpful and I fully agree with you.

[biglow]

Is the Ayaneo 2 or the Ayaneo 2S better? And which runs Palworld better? Send the link to channel pls.
