I want a Steam Deck so badly. This is really tempting me more than ever
I love mine so much. It’s so worth it to me!!!
Together with my Switch it becomes a perfect combination. 🥰
If you don't mind used, there's a lot of steam decks for great prices, I bought one on eBay and absolutely love it
Don’t waste you’re money Deck 2, ROG Ally 2 is coming.
@@shotimefans808 Deck 2 hasn't even been talked about by Valve. It could be years away.
Super agree, I LOVE my Steam Deck so much! I also got the non-OLED model (but I was lucky to get it right after the OLED was announced, so I got a nice discount). For some reason, for the first couple of weeks, I had some hand cramps playing it, but after that, it's like I adjusted, and now it's the most comfortable handheld I've ever used.
Wow!! Soooo nice to get a good discount! ☺️ Glad you are enjoying it!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON TO THE SWITCH!!! I've watched multiple videos and never saw a PHYSICAL comparison! ❤
Aw 🙈 Glad I did that then 😊 !!!!!
I got the steam deck oled for Christmas. Being a busy dad to 2 boys I gotta do handheld . The switch was kinda lacking at this point . Don’t regret it at all. It’s amazing .
Steam Deck has fundamentally changed the way I play games! I bought mine from a friend right before the OLED came out. And bc I mostly just play it for retro games and JRPGs I don't mind having the OG model. Awesome review!
I don’t mind the OG model either 😊 I’m so glad you love it !!!! 😊😊😊
I love my Steam Deck too! I always use it more than my gaming PC because it's way more comfortable to lay down in bed and play games!
I purchased mine 2 weeks ago, and haven't put it down!! No regrets!!
It’s my BABYYY!! Haha it’s truly so awesome to own!
I really love my OLED Steam Deck! One genre of games I love is visual novels, but its a genre that mostly only on PC. Being able to play one of my favorite genres of games portably is so nice ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my gosh!!! That’s awesome you can play them handheld and cozied up with your steam deck! I bought a bunch of story rich games and cant wait to give them a try! 😊 So glad you’re enjoying visual novels on your steam deck!!
Great video, although I think the background music slightly distracts away from the content. But some really great information is provided in this video and I highly recommend that people watch this VOD.
It’s also worth looking up any games you are playing on a site like steam deck HQ to see if there are setting optimizations. Being able to control the frame rate , and TDP, along with a host of other options, from a simple menu is great for getting the games to run their smoothest, extend the battery and quite the fans for some of the more intensive games. Just dropping the frames from 60 to 50 or 40 makes a huge difference in a lot of games for temps and smooth gameplay without sacrificing much visually since it’s a small screen
This is so helpful. Thank you SOmuch!!
I got mine in december 2022 at the time there was about 50 games in my steam library, now there are over 400 and i play games more than ever and im an uber driver at night so having the deck in my glovebox makes the slow nights go by wayyy faster
Oh I love that!!!! What kind of games have you been playing? 400 games is INSANE! But i’m stacking up the games too since Steam has some awesome sales!!
@mintendogaming yeah it's easy to stack them up especially with all the humble and fanatical bundles, I've been playing a little of everything since getting the deck everything from RDR2 to Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, but at the moment I'm playing Outer Worlds, Tomb Raider 2013, and way too much Palworld
I really love mine too!!!! I have blue silicone covers on the side, purple thumb and L4~R5 cushions
Love the skin you have on it--too cute!
thanks Violet!!! It def makes it very ME!!
I got my deck a few weeks ago just because I wanted to play Baldur's Gate 3. I have a gaming PC, but I work from home and the thought of spending even more time at my computer is exhausting. So I got a deck, and I have my whole steam library available, and I adore it :)
it’s the best!!!! so glad you love yours 🥰
You might be able to improve battery life a significant amount by limiting your frame rate in the power settings. This is of course only if you don't mind playing at, for example, 40 fps (or even 30 fps) rather than 60 fps. There is always a trade off regarding power usage. I found that limiting my frame rate to 40 fps improved battery life, made the system run cooler, and (on a related note) reduced fan noise. I would think for most cozy games a lower frame rate would be acceptable. I still use a reduced frame rate on my OLED model after passing my original to my brother.
I’ll try it!!!! thank you so very much for the tip!!!!!!! 😊
As someone who transitioned from the OG model to the OLED I’m going to HIGHLY recommend the OLED. The battery life and killer screen improvements are great. There are so many little improvements it just feels like a new device all around.
Ooooo don’t influence me!!!! 😂😊
I have to second this sentiment. Especially for first time buyers, you should absolutely save up the little bit extra for the oled model. The screen alone is worth it, add in that it’s lighter, quieter, cooler with significantly better battery life and it’s a no brainer.
@@wade8080 Thanks for your input guys!!!!
Great video, Min! Very informative, might need to look into grabbing one! ✨
thanks so much!!
I love my steam deck and looking into a docking station to hook up to the tv
Same!! I’d love to get the dock as well!! 😊😊😊
love the video, i really wanna get the oled model, looking forward to saving for it. I have nearly 1000 games on steam so it will be great to play many that I otherwise wouldn't. I already sit at a desk for so long everyday that I would like to play laying down and relaxing.
Yes!!! It’s so nice to be able to get off the desk chair! And WOW that’s a lot of games!!!!! 😊
It's worth it. To any new Steam Deck owner or beginner PC gamer, i would always recommend watching some beginner guide like videos. The PC platform is freedom, there are very few to no arbitrary limitations put on the platform. You can basically do anything you want, but with this sort of power there typically comes a bit of tweaking to get the most out of it.
This is exactly me. I'm a handheld gamer for life. For some reason I just straight up hate using keyboard controls and don't enjoy playing with a controller on the tv all that much either 🤷♀️ but that has really limited the amount of games I've been able to play over the years. I used to play with my mom's Gameboy color, I had a Nintendo DS that I loved, for awhile I was really only playing some mobile games but I wanted something more,then in recent years I got the switch lite since I had no interest in playing on the tv anyway but the steamdeck is the gaming device I've been dreaming of my whole life even if I didn't know it 😂🙏 I'm saving up for sure.
Yes! So worth it! And now there’s even an Oled steam deck which is great !!!
My steam deck is gonna be here in 4 days. I am so excited to finally have one. I can't wait to lay in bed on the weekend and be able to play all my games in my PJs
It has almost been a year and I am still in love with my steam deck. It is such a nifty little device.
it really is!!!!
WORTH IT!I bought the OLED model as a Christmas & advance Birthday gift to myself in Jan. It not only REVIVED my love of gaming, it's helping me AVOID BURNOUT! ❤❤❤ #noregrets
That makes me SO HAPPY!!!!! That’s AWESOME!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I got my SteamDeck a year ago followed by the ROG Ally. If I wasn't scared of upgrading the internal storage, I would of gotten the 64 GB Storage version. I went with the 512 GB LCD model. The SteamDeck has improved so vastly with Proton. I also love tinkering with TDP controls to get the most out of my battery. Then this year, I upgraded the internal storage into a 1TB. Now I am conflicted if I want to get the Lenovo Legion Go or the SteamDeck OLED.
I got the Steamdeck Oled for Christmas ! Amazing device! What's even dope, you can use it as a normal PC! Do require some basics Linux experience but it works great :)
Thank you for this information, Mintendo!
I didn’t even know this existed and now i need one i dont have any storage on my pc thank you sm!!!
Love it so much more than the switch, games are cheaper, come out faster and the return policy for games is *chefs kiss*
Just make sure you can cross save your games. I have problems with my saves I had on Mac 😕, and you may run into some trouble with docking mode. Other than that, it was the right decision.
I haven’t had that issue! But i don’t have a mac 😊 I would love to get a dock but haven’t done so yet!!
I have a dongle that has HDMI, USB, and USB-C ports so I can connect to a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and still power it. I can use it to connect to a TV, use it to play like a PC game, and use it as a PC (highly wouldn't recommend).
I pretty much just have Hogwarts Legacy, though it's graphics are minimal and the fan can get noisy from that.
I've had mine since September 2022 and I still love it. It was a great replacement for a pc until I got my laptop. And my Switch is redundant. I am looking forward to the Switch 2 though!
YAY!! Glad to hear that 😊 I’m looking forward to seeing what the Switch 2 will be as well!!!
Best gaming device I’ve ever owned :)
I love my steamdeck!! ❤ Playing my cozy games in bed is awesome.
It’s soooo nice!!!! 😊😊😊
Just got mine yesterday..love it so far..but it should be stated..there's a learning curve that I didn't expect..but the more I played with it somethings did become alot easier...so far I'm just playing the free games until i get more acclimated..lol...haven't approached the emulator aspect of it yet though
Great point 😊 I quickly acclimated to it and I’m sure you already have!!! I have not tried the emulation on it but my friend has and it seems really really cool!
i really like mine! i like sitting next to my husband while he plays handheld on the switch and i play on the steamdeck hehe ❤
When Christmas was coming I thought I might want one, but I only knew I wanted ranch of rivershine and I thought that one game wasn’t enough so I didn’t get it. I’m still curious though.
Awww maybe when Ranch of Rivershine is fully released!
Im selling mine today because i got the legion go. Steam Deck was great for what its worth!
Legion go looks cool! Enjoy it!!!!
I am so happy with my steamdeck too 🎉
It’s the best!!!!!
My Steam Deck freezes a lot when I try to start it up. It's super annoying but it plays games well. It's so heavy though! I agree with using a pillow to play.
That’s so strange !Is the storage quite full?!! 😭
@@mintendogaming nope. It's been like that since day 1 and I should have contacted support because I've had it for a year now.
@@milly.gaming that’s so strange 😭 there’s always software updates too so make sure you’re downloading those! Maybe it’ll fix itself some day 😭😭
I’m happy with one. It fits very well the setup when you have a MacBook or poor laptop. But if you plan to buy a new windows laptop, I think it would be redundant
Very true!!!
You should play Gris and Ori! These two are my favorite indies but ori is more action based than gris. Gris is more puzzle like. I'm subscribing for sure.
I’ve played some Ori but I was so so bad at the game 🤣 and I own Gris on my Switch 😅😅😅 !!! Thanks for the sub and suggestions!!!
You should look into adjusting the built-in power settings on your Steam Deck. You can limit the amount of power the SD will give to a game to increase battery life. For indie games like Stardew Valley it can increase the battery life a ton. The only trade off is for more demanding games it might limit the FPS you get.
There is a beginners guide on how to adjust that here: th-cam.com/video/g6cd6I2hDKo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6WDcwvxrMHKFTzwi
This is SO helpful!!!! Thank you so much this was so kind of you 😊 I will check it out!!!
Party Animal, you should try on steam deck.
That’s a fun game! 😊
yes
we love you Min
Oooof the big debate
I think I will wait for the new switch and then decide? Idk. Soooo many options
Used to love the idea of getting a steam deck. But i want to actually own my games. So i will stick with my Switch.
That definitely makes sense! I love collecting physically as you can see from my much older videos, that was something I personally learned to let go of for myself but will still pick up some things physically! I hope the switch 2 comes soon and is super powerful! 😊
@mintendogaming absolutely. And with all these news of video game companies wanting to cancel physical media, I'm with the impression that people should really start saving physical games for the future. I mean, may still be years before it actually happens, but if it does, I'd be more than happy to retire from modern gaming and play my collections until they finally break. I think you should also make a video about future of gamin being all digital. 😊
@@mintendogaming 😊
i was just wondering this
ur silly
Sell your deck and get the oled. Seriously, the battery is way better, everything is better!
Ahhhh!! Maybe!!! I have to think about it! I feel like I cant go a day without mine 🤣
I read that OLED has a shorter life due to the screen burning, but I don't remember. I have the LCD version and I haven't had any significant issue.
@@Sexynes Idk! I saw a test on the Switch OLED screen on Wulfden channel where he left the screen on for an insane amount of time and had very little burn in! Not sure if it would be the same for the OLED steam deck! I’m not techy enough to know!
@@mintendogaming If so, then might be better to get OLED
@@mintendogaming The answer to whether it would be the same on the Steam Deck OLED is sort of both yes and no. The Steam Deck OLED is similarly resistant to "burn in" as the Switch OLED, but because of the HDR feature, it can go much brighter when in HDR mode. This makes it a bit more susceptible to "burn in" of pixels that are more than normal brightness. However, in either case, it's not really a big concern for typical gaming usage patterns. You can see more about it in the latest video on TH-cam from The Phawx, but he does tend to go into quite a bit of technical detail.
I regret buying the steam deck. Should have came with more storage originally, build quality is horrendous and feels super cheap, although more and more games are supported a lot of the deck verified games should not be with how horrible they run or lots of games outright publicly refuse to support the deck due to not wanting to support linux and will ban you or EAC support not existing. Touch screen also works worse than the switch did its also extreamly heavy
Spoiler its not worth it their customer service is AWFUL and they lie they also ship out broken steam decks
Sellout 😢. I just Unsubscribed.
I bought this with my own money. I don’t have any affiliate link to the steam deck in the description or anywhere… so I’m not sure how I’m a “sellout”. But I’m sorry you think so! & Hope you find some other TH-cam channels to enjoy instead. 💕
hi there. your rude comment was super unnecessary and incorrect. so much L in one small comment. Yikes. have the day you deserve
rude.
Steam Deck = my #1 purchase of 2023! another great video, Min!!
YAY! Thanks Salty!! You have the OLED right??
@@mintendogaming yes, OLED! It’s worth every penny
