      @chucknowakowski6676 Emudeck at least. Emulating on the deck is a blast. But honestly the only tip I could give you is download a game in your library that you wanna play but haven’t and dive in. If you haven’t played Elden Ring or Ghosts of Tsushima yet make sure to purchase and download. Fantastic games that are fantastic on the deck.

    Just so you know, for any of the shortcuts involving the Steam button, you can use the three dots button as the Steam button and the combo will still work. That way you don't have to use your left thumb for activating the shortcut and awkwardly use your index finger to adjust the brightness on the thumbstick.

      @AndrewTaylorYT  19 днів тому +2

      Actually I’m pretty sure that is not even true. Difference are for one the OLED display. OLED displays don’t have any backlight. The battery and speakers are also better. It’s also does 90 hz and higher brightness. If you scroll down on my channels video page I did a video explaining what OLEDs are years ago. It’s one of my first videos so it’s not great but it explains what OLEDs are if you’re interested! Thanks again for watching!

    #3 is basic shortcuts, I'd talk shit about it but its amazing how many youtubers include them in videos so i can only imagine how few people actually seem to realize they exist.
    #5 you didnt mention anything about needing roms for games or bios for certain systems. I know you mentioned there's a ton of videos that go into it, but that basic information could help a lot of people so they dont think its as easy as installing emudeck and magically having all the games they want.
    Other than man it's a good list, I'm downloading decky tonight. Thanks dude.

    • @AndrewTaylorYT
      @AndrewTaylorYT  28 днів тому +2

      Thanks for watching! Number 3 is an interesting one. I agree that there is a surprising amount of people who don’t know any of them. Even me though. I knew them but I didn’t know the brightness toggle. I just use all of the buttons besides the keyboard so little that they get completely forgotten. #5 I totally mentioned needing roms and how I recommend installing Emudeck on a micro SD because you could then use a computer to dump roms onto it. I did not mention anything about bios which is correct and I would have if Emudeck didn’t handle all of the bios stuff on its own. I mentioned videos that go in depth into emulation and I said that specifically as the subject of emulation has a lot of depth but Emudeck handles a lot of the depth for you and all you need to do is load ROMs. I’m pretty sure I even define what a ROM actually is. I say something along the lines of “And if you don’t know what a ROM is, just know that it’s basically the game file. You download it and drop it into the file that’s for the console you have the game for.” Made sure to go over the basics so people could get up and playing! Thanks again for watching! Worked hard on the video and I’m glad people are enjoying it.😊

    The proton badges can be a bit hit or miss.. for example it says Platinum for Ghost of Tushima... but in reality, there's a whole co-op mode that does not work on the Steam Deck. This is why Steam marks it as unsupported because if someone wanted to buy it for the co-op online mode they wouldn't be able to play it on Steam Deck.

    Supposedly the deck can overheat when in the dock? Looking since mine would spend more time hooked up to the smart tv. Answers??

    • @AndrewTaylorYT
      @AndrewTaylorYT  27 днів тому

      I think the longest I’ve played while docked to a big 4k 77inch TV was like 9 hours. Don’t judge me. Got hooked on Elden Ring. No overheating problems though. It might depend on the dock. If you’re gonna do a TON of docked gaming I’d probably recommend getting the first party dock so you have warranty and everything. Can I ask why you’re looking at the steam deck if you want a docked machine? A PC tower could push a lot more out of games and will easily sit by the TV for forever. The steam deck really is a handheld system before a docked system. Not to say you can’t make it a docked system. Just seems like you might be able to find a better value device if you’re primary wish is a PC that essentially lives like a gaming console.
