I went through all of the issues that you corrected in this video. They are amazing advices. If this video was out by the time I got my rug, ally, I would have had a much better experience.
I like how you video while doing something. I feel like this would also be a good method for me doing videos. Keeps my brain occupied and allows me to speak naturally like I'm talking to someone
@@deluge6479 Better screen is subjective.. I heavily prefer having a 7.4inch OLED with HDR, 90hz is just a nice bonus and 800p is more than enough imo at such a small screen. Realistically how many games are you playing at 1080p 120hz on a 7inch screen? Also being able to sleep and resume mid game is a game changer. And having multiple programmable buttons to map however I want for any game regardless of controller support on the fly
Honestly this is the first time I’ve come across one of your videos and the vibe and everything was dope. You explained everything in a chill manner that makes watching this video very pleasing. I have the same case as you on my ally x and the same color but I opted for the neon yellow thumb risers and back buttons. I’m gonna be binge watching your videos for a while 😂
If you buy one you will regret it by March. There are new handhelds from other companies that will have Steam os on them, and newer amd processors, bigger batteries etc. Plus more options depending on what you like. Even the new MSI claw AI 8+ blows the Deck Oled out of the water in performance and battery life. You can run CP2077 with ultra ray tracing at like 45 fps, which is insane for a handheld. And that's an Intel. Imagine the Amd ones coming out. Just wait like 3 or 4 months. Even by then the Oled will drop in the used market to around $400. Just wait before you get FOMO
You'll always have to wait by that measure, Valve says, "Here's SteamOS" Lenovo and ROG release their new handhelds, Valve one ups them in 2026, ROG and Lenovo one ups it in 2027, and by the time you want to pull the trigger on a handheld your family is shopping for a Costco casket because you've become a bit long in the tooth
I use the original case with a silicone glove over my steam deck. Not only does that protect from scratching, but also helps grip drastically. I also added a protective screen which makes the etched glass pointless to reduce glare. Battery wise. Ark:SE drains the battery pretty quick, an hour or so. Where something like Super Woden GP2 will last 3+ hours.
Got my steam deck in August and have loved it ever since but still have a huge learning curve with it because it’s my first system running in Linux and also a big asset for the deck has been steam deck sub Reddit because it’s allowed me to get the most of my deck but also looking forward to getting an Rog Ally X
I have a coffee question, as I am trying dipping my toes into the specialty coffee brewing hobby. Are you using store bought basket filters for your V60 pour over? In your experience how do grocery store paper filters compare to specialty filters like the Hario filters/Chemex filters for instance? Also does it really metter that you are using a flat bottom filter on a cone pour over like a V60?
I have a steam deck OLED and now I want the Rog ally x, but I don't want to abandon my steamdeck, I am afraid if I get the Rog ally x, it might be hard to go back to the steam deck.
I would recommend, enjoy your device for what it is! There are enough beautiful games that run perfect on the steam deck. Wait for the next series of devices coming in 2025 an upgrade to something really superior
I just gotta rog, I do like it but I love how intuitive the steam deck is. Also noticed games take long to launch on the rog suprisingly. (depends on the game). Lot of odd quirks and can be semi overwhelming even for someone like me who is pretty experienced. Steam deck just makes sense. If you get a ROG try dual booting with bazzite. That way for games like fortnite, COD blah blah you can use windows and everything else with bazzite. Im just waiting on a new ssd to upgrade and do just that.
Sold my deck and installed Bazzite on the Ally X . It’s like Goku and Vegeta fusing lol. Can be hard if you’re new to PC but who is not tweaking stuff in the PC realm.
My legion go replaced my entire PC lol. unplugs with 1 usb C and im mobile ... it runs a 3 monitor set up at home + the native screen. so my legion go at home runs 4 screens lmao, my set is friggen insane. i started with a deck, tried the ally and the go for a day, kept the go.
Hey bro! Thanks for the insight. It is really helpful, quick question. Where can I get the DB wallpaper you are rocking on your monitor. Love the look!
I thought you could install other launcher and get game pass running on steamdeck. It's a matter of find the tutorials for it, since the backend is just proton. For me, The main issue for most people is when they want to start playing AAA games on steamdeck. Steam deck is low power midrange PC, so dont expect too much from it unless you plug on wall, and if people think it's High end PC on a console formfactor, then that's their problems on missjudgment what the steam deck actually is.
Dude, I just got the Ally x and I notice the power difference from the steam deck. However, the steam deck is more optimized. It was a learning curve trying to figure this thing out. I am a console gamer at heart, and this was definitely an experience lol.
The last video I watch from you, I was deciding if I should get a Steamdeck. Now, I'm commenting because I just grabbed one. I've been enjoying playing games, probably bit more than my PC.
Really interested in both devices been debating on the steam deck. Will the Steam Desk play/run joiplay? Have a library of games I’d like to play. Stuck with an android phone at the moment. Any recommendations appreciated.
I didn’t see u trying the legion go , i hope u tried it , i had the ally X before but i did switch to the legion and i love it, the bigger screen , comfortable to hold (in my case), the performance is similar to the ally X, they give you a case also with the device like the steam deck .
Bazzite is such an upgrade from windows on the Ally. I have the OG extreme model and it runs beautifully and without hassle. Windows is a nightmare on handhelds.
I love my Ally X but I agree that Windows is a nightmare. It's both the pro and con of the device. I'm waiting for the official SteamOS support in 2025
Xbox has won me over officially. I keep a Series X as my heavy gaming home console. I use a Series S as my offline on the go console using older game titles(Xbox, 360, and One) making the S a really fun console to bring to friends and play split-screen together or enjoy the portable monitor for 1 on 1 gaming. Last but not least, my iPhone 15 Pro Max w/ the back bone. This allows me to remote play off my Series X anywhere anytime, giving me access to my entire game library on the go. Best part is all my data syncs amongst all 3 devices so I can pick up and resume the progress in any game on any three devices I choose. Xbox is really the under dog in this…. It makes it so easy to play anywhere anytime with whatever fits best for the situation. JD you got a great channel and an awesome community, enjoy your day bro🤘
I have my series X and ROG Ally and it's the smoothest most satisfying gaming experience besides the switch, unfortunately the switch isn't open and powerful like Xbox and ROG Ally
my og Rog ally extreme sd card reader broke. I sent it in with no issues. few months go by, DIdn't use it more than 10 hours. Now the SD card reader isn't working again. I would avoid the O.G. model, if you want something cheap go steam deck. If you require windows i'd look into the legion go. They might be putting a new one out soon to. According to rumors it's going to have model with steam os.
@ let me elaborate. Sometimes it’s nice to do outside videos there is something peaceful about it. Trust me set up a table with the coffee outside with a nice view and take it all in.
i sold my steam deck today. its just not powerful enough. even on medium settings it struggled so bad just playing lego horizon adventures. it really chugged.
@@jdxcoffee its ok not a big deal. the deck is a nice machine but really lacks the power. hopefully the deck 2 is a powerhouse. i have a really high end desktop and laptop so the deck really was not needed anyways.
I disagree with the with locking the fps at 45-60fps perspective. If my ally x can play a game at 120fps then i would rather do that with a battery bank or a charger if I’m even able to play a game for longer than 30-45mins. For that reason along with playing games at 800p 45-60fps and the inability to use upscaling to 1080p like most of other handhelds i sold my steam deck oled. I think it’s the most overrated handheld of them all for the money considering the hardware limitations and that you can actually just install steamfork or basiteOS for the same experience on any other handheld so it doesn’t have a real benefit over others.
ROG ally is be best bar -none the steam deck is really like a switch the games are optimized for it so it kinda works but it’s diff not the true pc gamer experience im speaking from a person who has them all the rog has its issues but if your S/N begans with R8/R9 your good anything under your in trouble but if you got it for Best Buy and have a membership they will take care of you

Thank you, Lady Decade. You recommended Yakuza: Like A Dragon and I bought it last night for my Steam Deck. I much prefer turn-based RPG than beat ‘em ups which Yakuza 0 has. Was never into Final Fight or Streets of Rage. The beat ‘em ups I played were usually in the arcades playing with three other people: TMNT, X-Men, and The Simpsons. I also had Battletoads and Battletoads/Double Dragon on NES and both games would destroy poor, little me. There’s still a wishlist I have for three of my devices… *PlayStation* *4:* *3* Ghost of Tsushima Red Dead Redemption 2 Spider-Man (2018) *Steam* *Deck:* *1* Final Fantasy VII Rebirth *Switch:* *2* Super Mario RPG Super Mario Wonder *Future* *Handheld* *Wars* I will likely get the Switch 2 but I’m not the biggest fan for most of Nintendo’s IPs. But I will still get it because I want to carry my Switch library onto to the new one. But I can imagine in 3-4 years, the Switch 2 will be one my LEAST used handhelds. It’s the one when you play 1-2 flagship releases and then it collects dust for most of the year. That’s how it goes with most Nintendo products. You only own one to play all the Nintendo first-party games. The two that will get the most play will be the Sony handheld supposedly being a portable PS5 (not the Portal) and the Steam Deck 2. I believe third-party support will always be the strongest for PC and Sony. While an Xbox handheld + Deck 2 would feel way too redundant. I may end up preferring Sony’s next handheld mainly because PC gaming can still be very, very problematic. Crashes. Weird graphical glitches in the game. Sony’s handheld will have games better optimized for it. PSP3/Vita 2 > Deck 2 > Switch 2? Or will I dump the Deck 2 completely? *Ode* *To* *Uncharted* This is the only game franchise I’ve enjoyed from the last 17 years or so when I didn’t own a 7th gen home console except the Wii. I finished Uncharted 4 a few days ago and I’m only two chapters away from beating The Lost Legacy as I’m on Ch. 7 of 9. Stuck at the part with the mirrors. This franchise kicks so much ass, I deleted Tomb Raider (2013) because I don’t think that IP will ever reach the gaming goodness of Uncharted. And I had a good time playing TR but I prefer more action over puzzles. While Uncharted can get redundant with all the third-perspective shooting and climbing on edges, the gameplay is so polished and fun once you mastered stealth, jumping, and climbing. I think Uncharted surpassed Metal Gear Solid for me. Maybe. It definitely surpassed God of War. All the characters have personality. I thought Lost Legacy starring two women would be lame but I find myself actually having fun playing and listening to what Chloe has to say. After I beat The Lost Legacy today, I’m going to beat Part 1-3 on my PS4 as The Nathan Drake Collection can only be found for it and not for Steam. Steam Deck is the one, folks. Will change your gaming life for the better.
Interesting to see not just a person sitting on a chair looking on a camera. This was refreshing and very calming.
Copped a steam deck recently and I’m absolutely loving it. Playing super Metroid and replaying GTA4 have been great this holiday season.
Try out dragon ball z kakarot, amazing game
Try all the Tenkaichi PS2 games
I been loving emudeck on steamdeck

@@JonathanWentGaming as someone who's just ordered the OLED; nice
@erikpoephoofd you definitely won't regret it
I think you’d love bazzite on the Ally x, gives that deck experience but with the bigger battery and better performance
This entire setup is all about showing off his Calvin & Hobbes hard cover set 😂
Shhhh
Its a hard pill to swallow when a PS5 Pro cost the same price. 700 on a hand held is pushing the limits to making sense
Get ready for the legion go 2. That big oled and extra performance sound amazing.
We will see!
Love the style of this video bro.
Listening to this while I emulate Parasite Eve 1 on the Ayn Odin 2. The way I game is also all over the place, and I love the variety

This PC replaced my need for a laptop. I can plug it into a monitor with a mouse and keyboard and it feels great
I didn't know that you got a ROG ALLY X again. I thought you returned it and decided to stay with the BEAST desktop and Steam Deck combo.
It is for comparing

Was never into Final Fight or Streets of Rage. The beat ‘em ups I played were usually in the arcades playing with three other people: TMNT, X-Men, and The Simpsons. I also had Battletoads and Battletoads/Double Dragon on NES and both games would destroy poor, little me.
There’s still a wishlist I have for three of my devices…
*PlayStation* *4:* *3*
Ghost of Tsushima
Red Dead Redemption 2
Spider-Man (2018)
*Steam* *Deck:* *1*
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
*Switch:* *2*
Super Mario RPG
Super Mario Wonder
*Future* *Handheld* *Wars*
I will likely get the Switch 2 but I’m not the biggest fan for most of Nintendo’s IPs. But I will still get it because I want to carry my Switch library onto to the new one. But I can imagine in 3-4 years, the Switch 2 will be one my LEAST used handhelds. It’s the one when you play 1-2 flagship releases and then it collects dust for most of the year. That’s how it goes with most Nintendo products. You only own one to play all the Nintendo first-party games.
The two that will get the most play will be the Sony handheld supposedly being a portable PS5 (not the Portal) and the Steam Deck 2. I believe third-party support will always be the strongest for PC and Sony. While an Xbox handheld + Deck 2 would feel way too redundant. I may end up preferring Sony’s next handheld mainly because PC gaming can still be very, very problematic. Crashes. Weird graphical glitches in the game. Sony’s handheld will have games better optimized for it.
PSP3/Vita 2 > Deck 2 > Switch 2?
Or will I dump the Deck 2 completely?
*Ode* *To* *Uncharted*
This is the only game franchise I’ve enjoyed from the last 17 years or so when I didn’t own a 7th gen home console except the Wii. I finished Uncharted 4 a few days ago and I’m only two chapters away from beating The Lost Legacy as I’m on Ch. 7 of 9. Stuck at the part with the mirrors.
This franchise kicks so much ass, I deleted Tomb Raider (2013) because I don’t think that IP will ever reach the gaming goodness of Uncharted. And I had a good time playing TR but I prefer more action over puzzles. While Uncharted can get redundant with all the third-perspective shooting and climbing on edges, the gameplay is so polished and fun once you mastered stealth, jumping, and climbing.
I think Uncharted surpassed Metal Gear Solid for me. Maybe. It definitely surpassed God of War. All the characters have personality. I thought Lost Legacy starring two women would be lame but I find myself actually having fun playing and listening to what Chloe has to say. After I beat The Lost Legacy today, I’m going to beat Part 1-3 on my PS4 as The Nathan Drake Collection can only be found for it and not for Steam.
Steam Deck is the one, folks. Will change your gaming life for the better.

The new Claw 8+ is very compelling. That line of hardware has come a long way
I am interested to see what it grants us as gamers
@jdxcoffee raytracing and upscaling (AI Hardware Accelerated) with XESS is quite superior over the AMD options.
Meta this, meta that. Have you ever met a girl before ?
Haha. Married with two kids.

All these influencer videos are the same. You should buy x with y accessories and z case blah blah blah.
Right. I feel like they just are all repeating themselves.

PlayStation Portal gang. Trust me... Cloud gaming is the future/now of handheld gaming... Stick to a laptop if you need portable power
