I have learned over the years, that just because something CAN do everything, doesn't mean it always SHOULD do everything. Like youve talked about before, sometimes having a specific thing, for one purpose is way better than having a jack of all trades for everything.

You make a very good point , but the problem is most people can't afford a bunch of devices . The steam deck is a way to market a lot of games .

I remember back in the day having your own gba sp or psp felt unique in the sense that it is tweaked to your own personalized feel consisting of the games you like to play, and the battle scars it unfortunately acquired. I also knew that the length in between acquiring newer games would be long so I cherished and beat every game I started until it was time part with that game by means of trading for a new game or cash. That whole unique feel is lost now with backlogs and having a system that does most of everything.

I just got my Steam Deck today and I’m really enjoying it. I’m not a dad so I can’t be a Deck Daddy, so I’m now a Deck Dude. Can’t wait to use it more. Be blessed, bro.

You can sell this dude anything. It’s beautiful.

Love the Apple analogy.

I don't quite often comment on videos, but man I have to tell you after 30min finding your channel: your videos were just what I was looking for without knowing it. Smart approach about the topics with nice charisma and, of course, a nice coffee being made. Can't wait to watch more of your content!

I have 3 kids and have moved to handheld mode from my dope pc..but..I refused to be limited so I got the Rog ally. Lol bought my oldest the legion go..gonna get a steam deck to be in the home too lol we got all the consoles and my pc but we are in handheld mode majority of the time. Hurts my feelings when I look at the office and my pc collecting dust just glowing.. it’s not even that I don’t have time it’s just exhausting to sit up like that after work and be on my mouse and keyboard. Lolol

This is honestly part of why I have so many devices myself. While I certainly could do most things from either my desktop or laptop, I like having my handheld devices, they are a lot of the times just more convenient. The laptop is great if I want to go somewhere and I know I will have an outlet to use, but the deck is arguably more portable and the OLED has the battery life that I don't have to think about being near to an outlet the whole time, and my tablet barely takes up any space, so between the deck and a tablet I can do nearly anything my desktop can at home. For someone like me who spent a lot of time on the move where I needed to have everything be able to fit in a backpack, I really wish technology allowed for this kind of performance 10 years ago, I'd probably have way less back problems.

When it comes to this sort of stuff and explaining why, sometimes a simple “because I fucking can” is the only explanation you need lol

The right tool for the job . Rg405m or miyoo mini plus for retro . Portal when I wanna watch TV and play ps5 , SD and xbplay for Xbox and PC games . Gaming is my hobby and I get every penny worth from my hobbies .

as someone who owns way too many handhelds I can say that for most people the deck will be more the enough, I really feel like you should spend some time using chiaki before forming an opinion on it. It really doesnt take long to set up and in general jumping form one thing to another on the deck is pretty fast, it would probably take just as long to suspend the game on chiaki and jump to a steam game as it would to get up and grab the portal, the screen on the deck is also better and you can zoom in to full screen it. I do agree that for people that can afford it have more dedicated devices is a good option but I dont think its the best advice for most users, I think a deck and a small cheap pocket friendly handheld like the 35xx sp or a miyoo mini plus is a perfect combination.

Great perspective man, love your vids.

Only issue with the Steam Deck is only for digital & Valve is fully DRM

Look forward to every new upload 😌

Getting my first emulation device ever tomorrow witch is the steam deck oled. Never emulated. Never really got into pcs. I have no idea where to begin. Witch emulation softwars should i go for first. What accessories should i get. Any tips about the system itself? Also what are some of ur favorite steam games that arent on console? Only for pc that work on steam deck. Thanks in advance

Nintendo Switch, PS Portal and RG35xx have been my go to portable devices. Next up is the SteamDeck.

Can the steam deck oled handle crymachina and granblue relink? I wanna know cuz I’m planning to buy steam deck oled or legion go so I want to know if steam deck oled can carry this games if not I would think to buy legion go

Hi! Offtopic, but are those ornaments by any chance resin Sharingan balls (from Naruto)? If so, could you share where did you get those? Thanks!

Apart from being able to have the flexibility to get non-playable tagged games running on the Steam Deck, I think the devices ultility is over blown. I am sure there are plenty of Deck power users out there but are more people doing all these things simply because they can or is there a real need to emulate, use other launchers and so on? I can only speak for myself but I am primarly a console user, despite owning a gaming PC I built myself, the Steam Deck has allowed me to adjust more comfortably into PC gaming. I made moves to have Big Picture mode launch upon start up on PC because I realized just how much consolizing the experience is valued by me. I am sure plenty of Deck users especially coming from console are not going much further beyond the surface level of the Deck and honestly its great in that use case. Unfortunately, not everything on Steam works well with the Deck. A niche game albeit one I really enjoy require a shader compile after the download and the Deck does not offer the ability to run such compile. So PC can be finicky, there might be a way around it using third party installations but I'd rather buy a Windows handheld to run it and more. I attribute that similarly to the PS Portal though I would not own one, its an option that provides the user with a solution to their needs. And right now there are a lot of options to choose from to get the job done.

I think you’ll love the RG35xx SP my guy! It’s literally the RG35xx but in a GBA SP form factor😎

I just use my fingers to peel oranges… what system is that like?

Honestly thought of getting a ps portal before my deck but given I require WiFi to use and I’m always on the go and hardly have WiFi wherever I’m at. I prefer to have something I can play offline. I also agree with Chiaki, it feels so sketch giving my info to a third party I don’t know much about

Did he make several videos in the same day and post them everyday one after another? I feel like we have had this conversation already hahaha or is it the hoodie lol

I like this channel here is a adult joke for the grown ups yall know what a BBC is well whats a BBD pause for people to think about it.... Answer Big Black Deck

With all this talk about knives I wish you’d just cut to the chase

The portal is crap. Sent it back after a week. Terrible refresh rate and does a worse job streaming than my iPhone. Wanted it to be great as I’ve always had PlayStation’s. Shame.
