      Sounds like a good deal, I'm sorry, I must of hated on you liking rollerball, I mean drome cause I was hungry lol but really I just see that game, and see that there should be more to it cause straight off the bat, I can see it doesn't have a story line which was the main reason why I was turned off from that game, so I know now I shouldn't knock on your type of game but midnight fight express kinda got me P.O.ed cause I remember playing John wick hex last year on a PS4 slim before I got my ps5 and let me tell you the last of us part 2, we need a part 3 asap, fuck that game had me so emotional, since I had a PS3 as well last year, don't anymore, before playing that, the first one was key, then to get a PS4 slim and have it free on PS plus or now for 3 days on a binge and beat that game and yeah flipping emotional, that's why I'm physched, preaching here for the loup1 remake on PS5 let me tell you, I'm going to game fly it cause why not be the lord of the flys when you can but John wick hex i hated it for it board game style of play it offered plus it was hard af but I still beat it but what Im getting at is John wick hex should of had midnight fight express style of game play instead, maybe they'll remake it in the future lol cause there's so much there that isn't adding up but one last thing cause I legitimately like Jake baldino for the way he presents himself but don't fool yourself when he says the pizzas on me cause I had my captions on, and when he said that, the captions said pizza zombie Lol 😂 😜

    Loving my Steam Deck! It's easily my favorite console that I've owned in a long time. I'm mostly using it for my backlog of indie titles and older classics, but am also playing games like The Witcher 3 on it.
    And I totally agree with your take on battery life. For more demanding titles, like The Witcher 3, I get around 3 to 3 and a half hours, which while not perfect is more than enough for me. Older games like Skyrim or New Vegas I get around 4 to 5 hours, and ofc all my indie titles I get 6 or higher.
    Edit: Oh and yeah, I was never able to get into New Vegas until getting to play it on the go. There are a few other titles too, but New Vegas is the biggest surprise for me by far.

    • @amysteriousviewer3772

I have clonehero as well, and when my girlfriend and I went on vacation she sat in the passenger seat on the drive down, playing her old favorite guitar hero songs from the games sh grew up playing with my old wii guitar, with the audio linked to the car speaker system to hear it better and for me to still have music to drive to.

For me I use windows for alot and I'm just not a Linux person, having to run things with that damn terminal, I'm just spoiled to windows. Keep in mind this is because I use desktop mode and I use my deck for alot of other stuff. If u are just going to game and that's it, steam os will be fine for u.

Just not sure that I'll use it as much as I'd like and then I think about the $500 worth of games I could buy instead.

      @@Wicked.Artworks Well good luck deciding! Haha looking like my email is next week. I'm actually leaning more towards buying it now. A lot of jrpgs and indies on steam aren't actually on switch, plus there are backlog games I think I'd probably get through quicker if I could play them on a handheld (like Mass Effect Trilogy and the Nier games). It's definitely still a tough call, and getting the thing 6 months after launch does bring the hype down a little, for sure.

It's incredibly easy to flip either locally or on stockx, the profit margin is high, and if you are a frequent reseller on stockx platform the fees are minimal. Making around 500$ off of something just with a few clicks is pretty no brainer imo, plus that ups the amount or expense of the gifts my family gets for Christmas.

    I travel A LOT and I have a pretty decent gaming laptop, but being able to comfortably play a game while waiting on a flight, on a flight, or when just laying in bed where ever I am has been SO AWESOME!
    Games I have been playing s lot of recently are Gunfire Reborn, Splitgate, & Ni No Kuni II.
    I had Windows 11 installed with all the launchers, but it just robs the Steam Deck of what it really is.
    At least to me, it feels that way. I tend to enjoy it so much more when I'm on Steam OS.

    spider-man runs surprisingly well on the steam deck, gets 30+ without upscaling or res-scaling, and looks good enough on the 800p screen. gets some dips when the lighting is set to morning and you swing above the skyline, but after beating the game you can just set the time of day to noon and you don't really have that issue.

    The thing about the battery life, If I am playing a handheld, I am usually only playing for a max of an hour and then taking a break or moving to something. I rarely travel and really only play my SteamDeck at coffee shops or spots around town I like to chill at. If I am playing a game for hours on end, I am probably at my PC or consoles.
    I never understand why handhelds are expected to output insane power AND insane battery life. I definitely think it could be better but it is fine for the scenarios where I play my Deck.
    Also great video! Love the content!

      Some people like me play the Deck in my home, in the bed , on the couch but the battery life for me is perfect since after the battery drains to 50% I will plug in a 45 watt battery to charge it back to full then plug in the battery with a 45 watt adapter to fully charge it back up. Can last for many hours playing like this.
      I wouldn't want a heavier battery on my steam deck and rather use an exterior battery I can fit into my pocket.

    2:20 and the issue with trackpad I noticed is that it doesn't hold input like a joystick will. This is probably part of what also held back the Steam Controller. It's definitely awesome to have it there I think if you want a game in which you use it a decent amount, then play Metal Gear Rising, it works as Blade Mode and makes for some wild slicing and dicing. But I feel like as an alternative to mouse and joystick, it's function as a trackpad just inherently gimps your overall control. It's an awesome addition still and I think in management sims or titles where it can be used in a more isometric camera angle setting, you can probably get better use of it. But as for 3rd person/first person shooters, it's just to unintuitive, as much as it mimics a mouse it just isn't one, you don't have precise control of it like you need to in those games and even in calibrated like a joystick, the fact that it doesn't hold input means you're constantly adjusting to move and look as opposed to just holding the stick.

    Hey, I have my Steam Deck for around a week and so far I'm very happy with it. I basically straight away set the display refresh rate to 40Hz and locked the fps to 40 as well so the battery is quite excellent considering what it can do / run.
    I fin it VERY impressive that you can play AAA titles wherever you are, but me personally, I'd rather enjoy those sitting down at my PC with proper screen, resolution, details, refresh rate.. But it's certainly very good experience even on the Steam Deck. I mainly play "smaller" games that I might not even download on PC like Hollow Knight. That thing rocks. Also Viktor Vran, Torchlight or Mutant Year Zero are very enjoyable.
