Hearing Wood say "I'm just kind of a casual gamer" while sitting in front of his massive collection of video games was priceless (Yeah, I know what he meant... LOL)
Haha I defiantly see your point, I'm also a casual gamer and own a PS5, Nintendo Switch and gaming PC. But I don't play competitive like in my childhood - early 20s. I just jump on to play some of the latest titles like the New God War or Pokemon Violet coming out soon or some backlog games which there are a ton of thanks to Playstation Plus. What I'm getting at is I defiantly space out my gaming, like I can play a game, beat it and take weeks or sometimes months off just to avoid that nonstop gaming routine addiction I use to have. I'd say my worse addiction time period was from EverQuest then World of Warcraft for sure. Anyways, enough of my rambling 🤣
Wood, you have to change the remote play settings on your actual PC so that it doesn't stretch the monitor, there's a setting in the remote play settings that has it adapt to the monitor its streaming to That should hopefully fix the problem :)
Had the exact opposite experience with elden ring. Set the game to 720o medium and high settings, locked at 30fps, and the game looks absolutely amazing blown up on the tv
For games like Cult of the lambs, you should go to the game's properties and set the resolution from default to whatever resolution you want the game to see. If you leave it to default, the game will only see up to 800p.
Bought myself a Switch a month ago and loving it. Started watching your videos to get some recommendations and am now catching up on all your previous videos. Really enjoy the style and love your openness and honesty. Xx
8:26 if you want some clarification. its upscaling the resolution from 800p to 16:9 4k. if ya set it to 720p and upscale. it would've solved the bits of aliasing a bit.Theirs some weird bugs when forcing a game from 16:10 to a 16:9 screen and vice versa too. but 720p to 4k. that is upscaling it by a factor of 8 (4k is roughly 8 times more pixels then 720p). soooo isnt going to be the prettiest thing from the get go/aliasing.
16:9 is what ya want if ya don't want issues with inhome streaming, resolution doesn't matter . you can also set manual option via in steam settings for remote play on the host machine and tell it to match the display its streaming to. its dumb that isn't the default. Keep in mind I am not trying to say 'oh your dumb blah blah'. nawwwww I just wana share the knowledge, wouldn't be surprised if ya even aware of it and was more focused on keeping it interesting instead of dredging the pacing down with technical crap.
Having an extra charging port would be nice, but honestly I prefer it on the top than on the bottom. I never understood why Switch would actively cut off any use in table top mode during charging by where it placed that port.
@@legitimatelypissedoff4409 by changing the design of the dock while it was in the making??? It shouldve been thought about as soon as they added the little back clip for tabletop gaming
I wish they would make an updated, better version of the Steam Link. I think there still is an audience for that (myself included). Here's also hoping that Valve doesn't drop support for their hardware going forward like they have in the past.
Valve "killed" the steam link because there was no point in having dedicated hardware for it, since it can be done in a simple app (Steam Link App or Moonlight) in another company's device like a Chromecast or FireStick
Valve makes games, any time they try with hardware, some few idiots purchase it and a year or two later, a much cheaper and user friendly option releases. Imagine wasting so much money on Valve index or Steam Deck and then all the competitor’s completely oversell and outshine. There’s a reason most VR users use a Quest 2 and now with all the portable PCs, the Steam Deck will fall behind and be forgotten.
Wow. Their hardware will not be forever the best thing. What a revelation. Thats the point of software that you can update to be better, but hardware will forever stay in the same place. Software have limits to what it can improve that hardware.
I use Joy-con on my Steam Deck to play games while I'm walking on a treadmill. I mostly play turn based games and RPG on the treadmill. That's one thing I like about the Joy cons.
Realizing how to activate FSR has been a lifesaver in docked mode for a few titles like Elden Ring and Monster Hunter world. It's not perfect, but you can get something that looks a lot closer to 1080p from titles like that and still running at a decent framerate due to setting the resolution to something like 720p or lower. Hopefully in the future they can implement some way to have community settings for all of this stuff (similar to the controller inputs) to help maximize performance without you personally having to play around with it all yourself on every game. Even as a PC gamer I find the fiddling to be a bit much as is.
Never understood playing games with the dock.. if i want to play on the big screen i use my xbox series x. You have to compensate to much with the dock.
@@Gingerlion777 I don’t have a current or even last gen home console, maybe I’ll get a ps5 in a couple years, but with fsr, the steam deck games look great. Obviously it’s not for everyone though
Your saves are not compatible with consoles. You have to download games twice for both device. Older games works nice enough even on a big screen and high resolution. Many games are PC exclusives too. There are some merits to it.
The Steam deck already does streaming without setting up Steam Link.. So if your home PC is turned on and on the same network the play button for games will now have the option to select your PC and it will say "Stream" works really well, I've been playing God of War on the go, I'll get home and dock my deck and just select stream from my PC
With the power Valve has managed to put into the Steam Deck. Imagine the possibilities of a Switch Pro or however the successor to the Switch is going to be called. I for sure hope a backwards compatible Switch Pro(2 dingely) with a Dock with extra GPU power for tv output!
Would certainly wait for the next Switch. It's gotta be out next year, surely. Just hope the battery is good for a more powerful console. Seen people saying they get 1 hour on Steam deck battery. That's a disgrace, along with charging another 90 for a dock!
@@MrMark1 The steam deck isn’t like the switch where the devs make one specific way to play that game weather you like it or not. You can choose what kind of battery life you want out of the steam deck. I limit mine to nine watts in a lot of games and find graphics and performance I’m happy with to get 2 and a half to 3 hours in demanding games. Same as the og switch, which is the one I have. You get to choose what kind of experience you have
@@vex8667 you say it like they are being held back, but they are not. Nintendo are always good value for money and make profit on every console sold. If they look at 4k and work out they would need to charge a fortune for it and have poor battery, they won't do it. Until the time is right with the tech
Since the video didn’t mention it, this might solve a lot of peps issues, under the performance tab for the scaling filter, set to FSR & max out the sharpness. This can be done for the main menu of the system, and for each game altogether or individually. 💖
For my boyfriends birthday tomorrow, all of his family and friends and my family chipped in and got him the big boy steam deck. It won’t be here by his birthday unfortunately but I think I saw a tear in his eyes when I told him what his present was.
My way of "docking" my Steam Deck is connecting the Deck wirelessly to the media player with Steam Link and using the Deck's own controller. This leaves more flexibility with holding it than having to keep the screen viewable and works well enough.
It really is surreal watching Steam Deck Videos on a Steam Docked Steam Deck. My view is that with the issues you have, you only ever have to have them the one time. once you get it working how you want it to, it's perfect. The Linux & Steam Deck forums are super helpful too. I love this thing so so much, but then again i am also saying this as someone who is upgrading from a 2012 MacBook Pro. I could only play around 10% of my game library before. Now almost everything works even if a few tweaks are needed here and there. The Mac also gave me a LOT of experience with Wine.
Don't worry. First steps with fiddling and finding how to swim in PC pond is the hardest. It gets smoother and easier with time to the point that 98% of things you will ever be doing with game takes 30 sec and you are good to go(and usually not everything had to be changed, so even less).
Anyone who has an ultra wide monitor and wants to stream their games to their TV. You need something called a dummy plug. It's a dongle that simulates whatever resolution you want.
I dont have a steam deck but when I want to blow up a game on my TV from my PC I use my Chromecast with Google TV. I pair a controller, download the steam link app and stream from my desktop. Alternatively, if you wanted to use that Dock you got for the steamdeck, I bet that it, or some other dock like it, could plug into any newer mid/high end Android phone. Use the steam link app on the phone and stream away from your desktop/laptop. Of course this only works for someone with a gaming desktop/laptop to begin with so your mileage may vary.
I think Wood brings up a good point about console players using a Steam Deck with no PC gaming experience. Just because a graphics setting is available doesn’t mean it can run.
The heralded Kit and Krysta crossover with Nontendo Podcast, this will be a video long remembered... and some closure... and hopefully... HEALING, Wood...healing!
PSA: Nintendo just updated the Privacy Policy mainly to allow them to fingerprint your devices and network. The possibility is not far off that they’ll try to figure out if you’re emulating their games or running CFW. Imagine if you had a CFWd device that you mainly use for homebrew, and your standard device used for playing games, they can now link your usage of a CFW device because its been used in the same network.
I was watching Bobs video and you wore the same hat. It took me a while but I knew that hat design looked familiar. I was like, is it a Pokémon? No… animal crossing villager? Nah… ITS KIMS BEAR DESIGN!!! Awesome reppin’ the wifey’s gear.
Hey Wood I really enjoyed this video! Even after not realizing I was talking to you on your podcast chat the other day. Thanks for making this video! :)
I just use a dongle style dock that I got for 30 bucks and it works great with everything I have tested so far. It can handle every ps3 era game at 1080p no problem, some even in 4k, and the majority of ps4 era games will have no issues at at 1080p either. Definitely something that can not be said about the switch.
The way Wood complains about the lack of a charge port on the bottom of the Deck is the way that I felt about Switch's port on the bottom. The way I typically use both systems puts the bottom on my stomach for additional steadying support. When the Switch's battery runs low, using it becomes nearly unbearably uncomfortable.
Using ryujinx (switch emulator) on the steam deck was quite nice as I got to play handheld botw portably along with using an Xbox controller which was just amazing and so much better than I thought it would be. For those who can i totally recommend trying switch emulation on this thing as it is a monster of a handheld
You can do that with Steam Remote Play, too. Just add the non-Steam games to your Steam library. Two issues I have with Moonlight is I don’t have an Nvidia GPU, and using Sunshine to work with AMD cards is laggy. And I love Steam Input, it’s too good to not want to use it with every game I play.
I too have a ultra Wide monitor... here is how to fix that stretch... Launch the game you are wanting to play... then get into the settings(in game) take it off Full Screen and set it to Windowed... Once in windowed you can set the resolution. So if the PC you are streaming from can handle 4k set your (and obviously your TV is 4k) resolution to 3840 x 2160 and it should take up the full screen.
Sorry but just fact checking here the, the tokyotreat box is not LIMITED to that month and only in japan they aren't limited at all and are common treats, have a good day
I REALLY want a Steam Deck, the only thing preventing me from getting one, however, is the price point. These things are WAY too expensive for me lol, wish they made a budget version tbh
The basic one does compare in price to a Switch with the same size memory too. It's a nice thing. They really couldn't make it any cheaper I wouldn't think. On the bright side games on PC are way cheaper than Switch games so if you buy a lot of games you will save the money you would spend easily
Guys there was dude called beatemups but is he fake or not I'm pretty sure it's fake cause when I tap on there account it dosent show channle info am I an idiot or not?
i was playing ni no kuni 2 thru remote play yesterday from my laptop to my steam deck and it felt so nice lol, it had some internet lag but i didnt set it up on "beautiful option but balanced" and it didnt happend so often. i played for hours.never got disconnected and i played in another room.
#1 Gaming Podcast Nontendo and if we can only get the games that the Switch Pro dock can give us but don't like God of War but no we get questionable graphics. I will dream when Zelda BotW is graphic wise like God of War.
The steam deck has been one of the best purchases for me in a long time. It's so good I ended up selling my switch. Why? Cause my deck can play everything including switch games and the switch games that I do care to play run fine on the deck. Also, I don't have to deal with Nintendo anymore.
I just finished God of War with my Steam deck. Smooth, smooth gameplay at 40fps. I can't wait to play Ragnarok if it ever gets released on Steam. 40fps is the new 60fps.
There is a way to fix the resolution in steam docking mode but you have to go to desktop settings and change the resolution that way, but it should fix your problem. At least, that's how I fixed mine!
I play my steam deck portably. I have a beefy PC for most of my power-hungry games. I haven't really touched my Switch in a while but once I Pokemon is out, I'll have more reasons to get back to it. The dock is neat and I'll probably get one so I can play PC games in my bedroom.
bro, i can just go to a metro and go to a place called "liberdade japonesa" and go to a insane amount of japonese stores. this includes grocery stores too
It's a great solution. If you have an v1 switch and you are handy with computers. Than it is pretty easy to stream your pc games to switch. I personally do it when I want to play heavy games in bed.
I have a PC dedicated to my tv so instead of docking I just take advantage of steams cloud saves and use my dedicated tv PC for a super duper switch pro experience. I love my deck and some games are great docked on it like emulation but the PC is the big brain move.
Steam Deck is an 800P system. IT can do amazing things at that resolution and play most games at a pretty high level AT THAT RES. just because it supports 4K doesn't mean you should push it that high. The dock should bed used for indi titles, older AAA and emulation and only at 1080P or bellow that in my opinion. Any higher than that defeats the purpose of Steam deck.....
""Even though the textures weren't that great", he said, showing the gameplay of a game way more impressive than anything I ever imagined playing 13 years ago. Y'all gamers are spoiled.
Looking worse at high settings would be the FSR kicking in to try and get you more fps. it basically try’s to make lower setting look better using A.I works well but overload it and that’s what you get lol
So I discovered something pretty sick with my odin pro. I got to thinking what would happen if I got a USB c to hdmi converter and just plugged it in. Ya know what, it just worked! You can use the odin itself as a controller, no need to mess with anything. I paired that with a simple port hub and found a way to charge the odin while it's linked to the TV.
It wouldn't be a pro model for switch because a pro model would increase the frame rate and resolution and the steam deck runs it the exact same as a switch although for 3rd party games that is true!
.... It's not the switch version on steam deck. It's just the normal version. That's kinda the whole point of the steam deck, it can run normal PC games
The steam deck isn't perfect and is a work in progress. It is always improving with protons. With that said it isn't for everyone. You have to be ok with learning and troubleshooting. However, if you are willing to put in the time the community is always willing to help. We aren't elitest. And in terms of stuff getting improved to put this in perspective. People where changing the boot animation on the deck, valve sees this, and makes changing the boot animation EASIER in a patch less than a month later. Then a week after that some doof put the ENTIRE sherk moving as his boot animation and had issues because he has to watch a 2 hour movie before his deck will load. Valve sees this on reddit and in like a week they pushed a patch that allows you to skip boot animations. This is a company that cares about user experience and isn't going to put stuff in the way on purpose. The deck will get better and thats the best part. You buy it for what it has, but the future is still bright.
Steam Link is built into smart TV's now, it's just an app, or at least it is on my Samsung TV, I just downloaded the steamlink app, and it's working great.
About the Steam Link, I really wish people would let that narrative die. First, they didn't stop supporting it. We have one that we bought second hand it kept getting updates. The last update was in december 2021, even though the devices were discontinued in 2018. Second, they just realized everyone has a smart tv now and they developed a Steam Link app that everyone can download FOR FREE. So they support their old hardware for years while giving everyone that didn't buy it the same options for free. How is that not supporting something? I just don't get it. Do people want them to keep creating e-waste even though they've made a software based alternative that works just as good (or even better, in my experience)?
one thing with the steam deck charging port is its not like the switch lite to where you need to legit get a stand to charge and play or destroy your charging cable.

Imagine if you had a CFWd device that you mainly use for homebrew, and your standard device used for playing games, they can now link your usage of a CFW device because its been used in the same network.
"im just a casual gamer" he says. just not gonna mention the wall of games behind him
Having a lot of diferent games doesnt make you a serious gamer. Actually its the complete opposite most of the times.
I was watching Bobs video and you wore the same hat. It took me a while but I knew that hat design looked familiar. I was like, is it a Pokémon? No… animal crossing villager? Nah… ITS KIMS BEAR DESIGN!!! Awesome reppin’ the wifey’s gear.
I can't wait until she sells them I want one.
Hey Wood I really enjoyed this video! Even after not realizing I was talking to you on your podcast chat the other day. Thanks for making this video! :)
Wood playing with that X-Acto Knife scares me
Woods woke up and chose violence today 😂😂😂
So far all games worked flawlessly with my deck, i am impressed, even streaming worked out of the box even over wifi
Am I the only one that was worried watching Wood brandishing that knife all over the place during that video?
Nope! I was so glad when he finally put it down. 😅
I just use a dongle style dock that I got for 30 bucks and it works great with everything I have tested so far. It can handle every ps3 era game at 1080p no problem, some even in 4k, and the majority of ps4 era games will have no issues at at 1080p either. Definitely something that can not be said about the switch.
The way Wood complains about the lack of a charge port on the bottom of the Deck is the way that I felt about Switch's port on the bottom. The way I typically use both systems puts the bottom on my stomach for additional steadying support. When the Switch's battery runs low, using it becomes nearly unbearably uncomfortable.
Hi Wood, might’ve been said already, but putting games into windowed mode should fix your ultrawide compatibility issues

Using ryujinx (switch emulator) on the steam deck was quite nice as I got to play handheld botw portably along with using an Xbox controller which was just amazing and so much better than I thought it would be. For those who can i totally recommend trying switch emulation on this thing as it is a monster of a handheld
Kudos for including the Steam Remote Play. I personally have been using moonlight instead since it'll let me play games outside of steam ecosystem.

You can do that with Steam Remote Play, too. Just add the non-Steam games to your Steam library. Two issues I have with Moonlight is I don’t have an Nvidia GPU, and using Sunshine to work with AMD cards is laggy. And I love Steam Input, it’s too good to not want to use it with every game I play.
Loving the Steam Deck. It's so versatile.
My free samples of Gamer Supps came in and tried the first one today. It was very nice! Will be ordering a tub for sure
I couldn't agree more, all of them tasted better and smoother than any gfuel I've tried.
Do this with the oled steam deck and you have a switch max!
Facts 🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE that hoodie! Nice style Wood!
0:24 wood looks like he’s gonna pull out a blick on him
Wood: I'm just A casual gamer.
His Bookshelves: Am I a joke to you?
gotta laugh when people say MISSING GO when talking about the original Pokemon glitch, when it's actually MISSING NO (as in missing number)
I too have a ultra Wide monitor... here is how to fix that stretch... Launch the game you are wanting to play... then get into the settings(in game) take it off Full Screen and set it to Windowed... Once in windowed you can set the resolution. So if the PC you are streaming from can handle 4k set your (and obviously your TV is 4k) resolution to 3840 x 2160 and it should take up the full screen.
Sorry but just fact checking here the, the tokyotreat box is not LIMITED to that month and only in japan they aren't limited at all and are common treats, have a good day
Who would’ve thought the two enemies could have a baby 😂
I REALLY want a Steam Deck, the only thing preventing me from getting one, however, is the price point. These things are WAY too expensive for me lol, wish they made a budget version tbh
Bro a steam deck IS a budget gaming pc 😭
The basic one does compare in price to a Switch with the same size memory too.
It's a nice thing. They really couldn't make it any cheaper I wouldn't think. On the bright side games on PC are way cheaper than Switch games so if you buy a lot of games you will save the money you would spend easily
I mean, you can stream games to your tv with basically Steam Link app, if your tv supports it. Works really well.
Love to see more steam deck content
Fake
Guys there was dude called beatemups but is he fake or not I'm pretty sure it's fake cause when I tap on there account it dosent show channle info am I an idiot or not?
i was playing ni no kuni 2 thru remote play yesterday from my laptop to my steam deck and it felt so nice lol, it had some internet lag but i didnt set it up on "beautiful option but balanced" and it didnt happend so often. i played for hours.never got disconnected and i played in another room.
I love your videos! That cool that you got to talk to Kit and Krista!
6:55 wood : it was taking forever to download my games. everyone in iran : first time ?
How the disconnected Joy Cons are trying to connect while he pretends playing with them 😄
#1 Gaming Podcast Nontendo and if we can only get the games that the Switch Pro dock can give us but don't like God of War but no we get questionable graphics. I will dream when Zelda BotW is graphic wise like God of War.
The steam deck has been one of the best purchases for me in a long time. It's so good I ended up selling my switch. Why? Cause my deck can play everything including switch games and the switch games that I do care to play run fine on the deck. Also, I don't have to deal with Nintendo anymore.
I just finished God of War with my Steam deck. Smooth, smooth gameplay at 40fps. I can't wait to play Ragnarok if it ever gets released on Steam. 40fps is the new 60fps.
As a guy who spent the last week testing a game for balancing between 190+ RTS factions, tweaking for performance is kind of my thing.
Is the bear patch on your beanie designed by Kim? It’s so adorable :)
Yes it is not sure when she will sell it though.
In this case a dock that has more power in the internals would be welcome! Especially when you buy it separately lol!
How would that even work
There is a way to fix the resolution in steam docking mode but you have to go to desktop settings and change the resolution that way, but it should fix your problem. At least, that's how I fixed mine!
I play my steam deck portably. I have a beefy PC for most of my power-hungry games. I haven't really touched my Switch in a while but once I Pokemon is out, I'll have more reasons to get back to it. The dock is neat and I'll probably get one so I can play PC games in my bedroom.
Here’s a tough trivia question… what was the last video Wood posted without a sponsor ad in it 😂
For us that have a Gaming PC you can STREAM games from the gaming PC on your TV thru the steam deck, best use case :D
I can't wait until Kim start selling the hats.
Switch version of no man's sky has a lot of pop in. Always look at the community for optimizations.
They should start their own 80s hair metal band.
Yes new beatemups video that's awesome thank you
bro, i can just go to a metro and go to a place called "liberdade japonesa" and go to a insane amount of japonese stores. this includes grocery stores too
It's a great solution. If you have an v1 switch and you are handy with computers. Than it is pretty easy to stream your pc games to switch. I personally do it when I want to play heavy games in bed.
I have a PC dedicated to my tv so instead of docking I just take advantage of steams cloud saves and use my dedicated tv PC for a super duper switch pro experience. I love my deck and some games are great docked on it like emulation but the PC is the big brain move.
Hi Beat Em Ups I Hope Those Fatal Frame Games Gets A Remaster Physical Release For All Game Systems In The Future
Good for her, she made the right choice
Steam Deck is an 800P system. IT can do amazing things at that resolution and play most games at a pretty high level AT THAT RES. just because it supports 4K doesn't mean you should push it that high. The dock should bed used for indi titles, older AAA and emulation and only at 1080P or bellow that in my opinion. Any higher than that defeats the purpose of Steam deck.....
""Even though the textures weren't that great", he said, showing the gameplay of a game way more impressive than anything I ever imagined playing 13 years ago.
Y'all gamers are spoiled.
Looking worse at high settings would be the FSR kicking in to try and get you more fps. it basically try’s to make lower setting look better using A.I works well but overload it and that’s what you get lol
So I discovered something pretty sick with my odin pro. I got to thinking what would happen if I got a USB c to hdmi converter and just plugged it in. Ya know what, it just worked! You can use the odin itself as a controller, no need to mess with anything. I paired that with a simple port hub and found a way to charge the odin while it's linked to the TV.
When are you going to do another fan mail video? Those really brighten my day! Love the channel and everything you do 😊
Tinkering is one of the best parts of Steam Deck imo
"Casual gamer" with that background lol
It wouldn't be a pro model for switch because a pro model would increase the frame rate and resolution and the steam deck runs it the exact same as a switch although for 3rd party games that is true!
The non dock hubs are better because you can use both screens for 3ds emulation or dont need an extra controller.
Amazing video, loving your humor.
The switch version of no man’s sky in the steam deck looks really good
.... It's not the switch version on steam deck. It's just the normal version. That's kinda the whole point of the steam deck, it can run normal PC games
The steam deck isn't perfect and is a work in progress. It is always improving with protons. With that said it isn't for everyone. You have to be ok with learning and troubleshooting. However, if you are willing to put in the time the community is always willing to help. We aren't elitest. And in terms of stuff getting improved to put this in perspective. People where changing the boot animation on the deck, valve sees this, and makes changing the boot animation EASIER in a patch less than a month later. Then a week after that some doof put the ENTIRE sherk moving as his boot animation and had issues because he has to watch a 2 hour movie before his deck will load. Valve sees this on reddit and in like a week they pushed a patch that allows you to skip boot animations. This is a company that cares about user experience and isn't going to put stuff in the way on purpose. The deck will get better and thats the best part. You buy it for what it has, but the future is still bright.

Steam Link is built into smart TV's now, it's just an app, or at least it is on my Samsung TV, I just downloaded the steamlink app, and it's working great.
About the Steam Link, I really wish people would let that narrative die.
First, they didn't stop supporting it. We have one that we bought second hand it kept getting updates. The last update was in december 2021, even though the devices were discontinued in 2018.
Second, they just realized everyone has a smart tv now and they developed a Steam Link app that everyone can download FOR FREE.
So they support their old hardware for years while giving everyone that didn't buy it the same options for free. How is that not supporting something?
I just don't get it. Do people want them to keep creating e-waste even though they've made a software based alternative that works just as good (or even better, in my experience)?
Sorry for the nitpick, thanks for the great and informative video anyway :D
Yeah Valve is pretty good about supporting things and not just abandoning them immediately, it's why I have no hesitation buying the Steam Deck.
one thing with the steam deck charging port is its not like the switch lite to where you need to legit get a stand to charge and play or destroy your charging cable.
“i even got an xbox one controller” 6:20
should we tell him?
I’m making it a habit to ask where the XenoBlade Chronicles 3 review is on every video until you finally gives an update 😤
Hey babe new beatemups video just dropped
Sounds like the mcable or mclassic would be good for the steam deck in docked mode.
2:08 it has cute little tanjiro on it! What is it? I want it.
