I really like "Playtime" Steam already tracks playtimes but it won't on non steam games. I emulate a lot on my Steam deck so seeing playtime on those emulated games is awesome. It also tells you how much you're playing each day (kinda like the 3DS)
Finally installed it on my Steam Deck. I really like the SteamGridDB plugin to replace all the missing cover arts (from steam and non-steam softs) with proper one, it's incredibly satisfying 👌
Audio Loader is my recommendation to compliment the Game Theme Music. If you think a game's music playing in a game's main page is cool, Audio Loader plays custom music and sound no matter the menu screen. It even plays in the store and the dev also worked with the Game Theme Music dev so that the Audio Loader pauses when in a game's main page. Practically transforming to a Playstation like experience, you can grab a PS5 music theme as well if ya like.
Bonus tip: Vibrant Deck can also DESATURATE the screen. Quite a few games get a really interesting twist in feel when you play them in black and white. Just set the saturation slider to zero.
@@trevorleggett6515 part of me doesn't think so because Steam somewhat added saturation right into the OS. Virbant Deck has way more control, IMO, but that's just me. I hope they bring it back.
Hello Sir My i know which version of Steam Deck are you currently using to install plugins and use the trainer? Is it single steam OS / dual OS with Windows?
it's great I have tried it once, if they make a slimer version & move the analog lower I will consider buying for now it's too big for my small asian hand
now if we could only get a plugin that would give a boost to the Deck boot times(which probably is impossible through a plugin like this but a man can dream) I'd be so happy :D
Iam new to steam deck I have had my steam deck oled for 3 days now so far any resources or mods that I will actually use would b a great help waiting on my Sd card to try out my emulators and roms
"Man, these are just boring pieces of tech sitting there-" Is that *really* what you're thinking when you look at a normal charger? Do you adorn everything in stickers?
@@baldlyrudy Windows is awful for handheld PCs. you can bruteforce stability with better APUs like Rog Ally and Legion Go do but its nowhere near the amount of excellency and work Valve has put in for their own software which is pushing and will push Steam Deck far past its expiry point until Steam Deck 2 is ready to come out. Valve made a lot of right choices and that is why imo Steam Deck will remain more consistently than other options. i said it on a different comment section before "Great hardware can only get you far , but great software and community will be eternal" which is why Nintendo Switch and PS4 are still very much used to this day in 2023

Oooooooo. Gotta check that one out.
0:50 "without further ado lets go ahead and get into it" *Starts a 1 minute commercial* nice
Cheers.

Why call it a hack? You just installed an app
Hack can be understood as tips as well
Welcome to the future :( everything seems to constitute a hack now a days. Lame
because Decky Loader is not a Steam affiliated app. and it modifies the OS
ouw so this is just an app 😅
Likely hack was just better for title then Tips lol

Nice! I appreciate the heads up. I'll check that out.
Thanks for covering this Rudy.
Just ordered a deck and looking for things to do once it arrives. This seems high on that list!
Whats your UI theme? Looks nice when you were going through the settings 8:15
I didn't have anything aside from Round added through CSS Loader in Decky Loader. I like a clean look, but you can go nuts with CSS.
Just incase people do not know you dont need to use Vibrant Deck if you have the OLED model
Can you install this if you already have emu deck installed?
Yup
Bonus tip: Vibrant Deck can also DESATURATE the screen. Quite a few games get a really interesting twist in feel when you play them in black and white. Just set the saturation slider to zero.
Unfortunately, VibrantDeck is no loader available to download (or being maintained by the developer at this time), because SteamOs 3.5 broke it.
@@VizerFino how you mean deckyloader still works fine
@@paulusala6376 Not DeckyLoader, that's fine. They were referring to a specific plugin, VibrantDeck.
@@paulusala6376 it probably still works for you, but apparently is no longer availble for download, at least I wasn't abel to find it.
SteamOS 3.5 makes Vibrantdeck a bit redundant.
That's fair.
Cant find vibrant deck on get decky in list is this because i have the oled version
The latest Steam OS update clashed with it. I think the devs took it down.
@@baldlyrudy was looking foward to trying it out, will they sort it out so it works on oled do you think
@@trevorleggett6515 part of me doesn't think so because Steam somewhat added saturation right into the OS. Virbant Deck has way more control, IMO, but that's just me. I hope they bring it back.
Hello Sir
My i know which version of Steam Deck are you currently using to install plugins and use the trainer?
Is it single steam OS / dual OS with Windows?
I dont see vibrant deck on their anymore is there an alternative?
it's great I have tried it once, if they make a slimer version & move the analog lower I will consider buying
for now it's too big for my small asian hand
I’ll have to check this out
Go for it dude. It's really good.
What game is that at 3:37?
Neon White. It's absolutely fantastic.
@@baldlyrudy Looks sweet, thanks for the reply!
@enzospartan no worries. Give it a go. It's a fun indie that is super addicting.
I like decky loader but its really glitchy at least for me and had to reinstall steam OS twice this time I didn’t install it and it’s running fine
This is not an oled model right?
In this video, no. This one is the LCD model. The OLED model is here: ruclips.net/video/tKEUDdUjjDg/видео.htmlsi=8_vQp7erxvv-1Ns4
I forgot. I have this as well. The batterie life is not great though. But it is cool to have a ps2 in your hands
Nice! The OLED model refresh has much better battery life.
Vibrant deck no longer works with the ladders update
Yup.
Vibrant Deck y.
Vibrant deck is no longer offered on Ph? I just rest my steamdeck and I can no longer see it on decky.
Yup. Vibrant Deck stopped working after Steam OS 3.5 was released. There are some options now baked into the OS, but it's not as good, IMO.
does this affect gameplay?
Not at all. No.
Doesn't stop dead space running like a spud
now if we could only get a plugin that would give a boost to the Deck boot times(which probably is impossible through a plugin like this but a man can dream) I'd be so happy :D
Sign me up dude.
Your content is great, but the screen is very dark and the SD isnt in focus.
Thank you so much! Yes. I'm trying to save up to get a camera with much better focus. The camera I use is almost ten years old. 🫠
is it just me or does this guy kinda look like Tom Cruise's character from Tropic Thunder??? lol that dance is stuck in my head now...
Bruh. Not even close.
I see it 🤷🏿♂️
Subscribed! Good content. Also supporting a fellow baldie 🤠
Bald is beautiful. 💪
Ahhh. A decky loader vid, without putting decky loader into the title. Neat!
Yup

@@baldlyrudy Hahaha! Touche 😉
Does anyone know what game he is playing during the first couple of seconds of the video
Why yes, yes I do. It's called Vampire Survivors and worth every penny. Currently $4.99 on Steam.
thanks a lot and good content keep it up def subbing@@baldlyrudy

Im watching this while i have win max 2
That's cool.

I would say Google is your best friend. You'll be amazed at the resources that are out there.
"Man, these are just boring pieces of tech sitting there-"
Is that *really* what you're thinking when you look at a normal charger? Do you adorn everything in stickers?
Yes. Yes, I do. My son and I typically look for awesome stuff to do together.
I installed Windows.. no "regerts" 😁
🤣 "regerts"
I have Windows running on the ROG Ally. But I'm a fan of the Steam OS experience.

You can over saturate or you can just get an oled
True. One is a free option, while the other is starting at $549 USD.
decky recorder is on top

I don’t see vibrantdeck.
