@@ChrisCaroDiaz The play cup is merch from the channel. He drinks from it from time to time. The play line is all about leaning into the play, even as people become mature, busy, responsable adults.
I love how you make sure you have as few extras as possible to play things enjoyably, while I carry at least 3 of everything. 4 USB C cables, 6 USB C adaptors, 11 controllers, 9 SD cards, 2 HDMI cables, 2 docks, a 100W charger and 27000mAh 100W Power bank, etc.
As a guy in his mid 30s who is passionate about both gaming and coffee, with a strong appreciation of EDC and making the things I use aetheticlly pleasing and more enjoyable to have on hand, I am glad di found your channel. Definitely an easy subscribe. Cheers brother.
I love your channel, I found it yesterday and started bingeing your videos. They’re pleasing to look at, interesting to listen to, and you have a lot of passion for the things you do. The “family man” vibe is admirable, I love that your wear your faith openly, and your hoodies always look so damn comfortable. Keep on doing what you’re doing, I hope this blows up because you deserve it. I love this longer style of video, great to kick back and watch. God bless brother.
@@jdxcoffee Hey dude! Agreed. I just bought the Skull & Co Grip Case that you featured in the video, I've been looking for a nice one and this was an instant sell. Keep up the hard work brother!
I recently found this channel and I, for one, love the style you’ve been doing. It feels like a genuine and warm dialogue. I think you cooked something up with this type of video presentation.
Adorable ball of fluff! Finding the right accessories for your lifestyle is a lot of work especially since you can't really test them before buying. The only "case" I think I'm looking at right now is two separate end pieces that clip over the left and right of the Deck and allow it to still fit a dock. It's by Jsaux. That and a screen protector, I'll wait till I actually have a Deck to decide on anything else.
Great video and format! Came across this because I have the same exact grip case and carry case! I keep going back and forth between those same stick grips you're using and the DBrand ones.
Just found this channel , these videos are a great listen , I can see you having your own podcast and doing in depth talks like this 1HR to 2hr long podcasts like I said this is a great listen I can walk away with earbuds from the video and still comprehend everything you speak of
Enjoying the format. I always wanted to make a video on my “EDC” gamer focused pack configurations. I’ve owned multiple molle style packs for a long time now, though nearly all of them have been sling packs, and the level of utility and modularity for configuring one's needs has always been what makes them so attractive. Prior to now I was a jetset driver, during the covid period I had faced multiple delays and spent most of my time portable gaming in the airports or hotels. My carry on pack was a Maxpedition Pecos 24L that was topped off with gaming gear. It was heavy but I got to beat a lot of games with all the down time in between flights. I once carried my PS5 in it, which was insane. I now run a 5:11 Moab 8 but it cannot accommodate much gear. It’s a nice little pack but if I were to bring my Steam Deck I’d have to place it vertically in the main compartment and use almost all of the space up. Packs aside, I haven’t bought any accessories apart from a anti-glare screen protector for my LCD model. I don’t mind the look of the Steam Deck but it’s definitely not one of the attractive looking gaming devices.
I have the same skull & co grip case and thumb grips and they feel so so good lol. I have the black tomtoc case and it fits like a glove. Keep up the great content🤙🏽☕️
Just found out your channel today man, really gotta thank you for the accessories suggestions. Also loving the format of your videos as well, feels more like a casual chat / discussion than a fully scripted out video
I really like this format it's like hanging out chatting about games over coffee. Also if you have a PO box I'd like to send a couple bags of local roasted beans from Cleveland
I have the exact same Skull and Co case and thumb grips (even same colour), and was interested in whether these’d be compatible with the TomToc case, so this video was eerily perfect for me 😮😂
I have a JSAUX mod case. Comes with a detachable kick stand, and a removable strap you can strap a battery into for the back of the device. Removable hard faceplate so it’s very minimal going into a bag and doesn’t need another case on top of. Best part: it comes with an adapter for the official steam deck dock so it can fit onto the dock.
I recently found your channel and though I am not a dad, I travel a lot for work between different countries so gaming on my PC or consoles at home isn't always possible. I bought the steam deck a few months back and I think it is the best purchase I could have made, though I loved my switch I think the steam deck is on another level. I also am a big coffee drinker, I recommend Henrys House of Coffee if you haven't tried yet. Great videos brother!
I've had the skull and co grip, thumb stick grips and the travel case since the first day I got my deck. I think the grip is the best one out there. I did have problems with it powering the device on when it was in the case.. so I just cut out the button. Then used a demel to round out and widen the hole (I bit like the headphone jack hole) so I could press the power button.. I love how you csn stand it up, which I do a lot, when connected to monitor, TV and whilst on charge.
I didn't expect to find my answers here regarding skull and co accessories and cases compatibility. So from what I get, the thumb grips will fit nicely into the tomtoc case without being pressed down? Cause I do use the thumbgrips and steam deck original carry case will always press down on them with just slight pressure at the case. I'm now looking for that perfect carry case so I can bring my steam deck with me on international flights.
Agree steam deck is pretty solid as a "one and done", but would argue that you would probably do well to add a LORG microSD since many games can be big, to the point that it's almost required depending on what you're playing.
Question, it doesn't press on the analog sticks? And can you link me what's the largest. It's either I get this (since I already have the grip of skull&co) or the tomtoc bag which is expensive.
I have the Tomtoc case and also the DBrand Killswitch grip and even with the kickstand attached it fits in the TomToc case no problem so that extra room inside is welcome. I tried an etched glass screen protector on my SD and I really didnt get on with it, has a sort of rainbow film grain effect to it, making the screen look unclear. I ended up taking it off and trying some regular glass screen protectors from Spigen but I could not get them on without getting dust underneath. Hard enough for something the size of a phone. Ended up wasting £30 trying two of them, £50 if you include the ectched glass ones. I gave up after that and am going with naked glass. I figure its in my hands or in the case, it should be fine.
Great cup! In general I've got a similar setup for my Deck. I've got a JSAUX carrying case for mine. I work in IT, so my "Go" bag always has a USB-C laptop charger in there which doubles for my Deck charger as well when my deck leaves the house. I used to have a cover on my deck, but I took it off in favor of having a transparent RGB back plate, which works well for me. I bought a large battery charger as well, though my family has borrowed it and now it's gone, so I'll have to grab a new one eventually. Do the thumb caps affect the gyro?
Could speak to why you need a screen protector? I'm not in your situation so I don't know why you would need one. As far as my own situation is concerned, I don't need one so I would like to hear how it helps.
@caffeineandconsoles I been thinking of getting the steam deck oled or a ps5 slim I have xbox already just want to get one more thing which one you think
I've watched a lot of gameplay footage and it looks amazing. Games like RDR2 being playable on it is nuts. Combine that with the OLED screen and the battery life and you have your answer.
First off that Glock reference was perfect. Secondly this was a great episode and I really enjoyed this cup and format. Have you tried the skull & co jump gate dock? Stay tacticool! 🤙
It is what it is. I tend to focus on “what is” rather than “Would could be”. I have little to no faith in emulation. It’s a gray area that will always be fighting to stay accessible. I have so little time to enjoy this hobby, that I cannot be bothered by aspects of it that are constantly in a state of fluctuation. While I enjoy the idea of game preservation on any device, the reality of the matter is, it is still not “technically “legal.
"It looks too, Hey I play games!!" LoL this dude! Trying to talk trash about someone who isn't trying to hide that they are a gamer because they aren't insecure haha.... At the same time actually makes merch that is all about gaming. Hahaha C'mon man! This dude is a coffee shop hipster dude that doesn't want the other coffee shop hipsters to know that he has a gaming RUclips channel haha.
Love your video! Im a gamer dad myself and i love listening to how authentic your contents are. You make me wanna get coffee beans from Khaldi(int’l store for coffee beans here in Japan) while watching your video. Keep it up!:) cant wait for the next content!
This was incredibly helpful to buy all my accessories for my newly purchased steam deck!
I watched this while drinking my coffee out of a "PLAY" cup. I think it makes the videos better. lol
What’s a play cup?
Ur awesome.

One more thing ….. upgrade to the Steamdeck Oled, it’s a different experience! Sell the LCD or keep it for the kids, I did the same. ❤
He has the oled you can tell by the color of the power button

Hate coffee, so here for the deck content lol.
Love this format! Always get a coffee and drink while watching. Wife already knows that I’ll be watching another episode. Keep up the good work.

I have the Dbrand kill switch case and carry it in my bag just like that with an extra battery from Ankor. Great case and very tough as well.
Great video and format! Came across this because I have the same exact grip case and carry case! I keep going back and forth between those same stick grips you're using and the DBrand ones.
I love this video format!
It looks casual and like if we’re drinking coffee and chatting about anything!
Keep it up dude!

Thanks man. That's the plan at some point
love the skull & co. case for my deck. Got it in black
Same. I love that it has an opening in the back so you can see the Valve logo
Enjoying the format.

I really like how you figured your steam deck set up. I went with the modular case + dock bundle from jsaux
I like this video format because its easy to listen to while playing a game or going for a walk or anything else really.
Sick. I love making these

I really like this format it's like hanging out chatting about games over coffee. Also if you have a PO box I'd like to send a couple bags of local roasted beans from Cleveland
I just bought this skull and co grip case, it fits my lcd case, a little snug but I don’t think enough to damage it.

its the best combo

They are cool but a bit too bulky for me
I like the case too. Dig the affiliate method. The anti-glare is solid. I bought the limited edition. The boring approach😅

You said "I'm satisfied," and I immediately imagined Satisfye perking their ears.
Then you acknowledged the pun. 😂

My buddy did that exact thing.
I love the skull and co grip
its so GOOD
Format is good bro, love it, one dad to another rock on.
Isn't the flap on the cases to offer additional screen protection? I've always assumed this was why they exist.

Yup it all fits GREAT
@julienmelnick Who is the manufacturer of the SNES controller @17:13?? It's not listed in the description.
Agree steam deck is pretty solid as a "one and done", but would argue that you would probably do well to add a LORG microSD since many games can be big, to the point that it's almost required depending on what you're playing.
Forgot to mention it cause it was such a given to me. I have 1tb in
Skull and Co’s largest case fits the Deck with the grip, dock, charging adapter and cable and it’s about the same size as the Steamdeck Case.
Question, it doesn't press on the analog sticks? And can you link me what's the largest. It's either I get this (since I already have the grip of skull&co) or the tomtoc bag which is expensive.
What plant is that by the window, I wonder. Looks so good.
I'm rocking the grey tomtoc case it's great quality
I have the Tomtoc case and also the DBrand Killswitch grip and even with the kickstand attached it fits in the TomToc case no problem so that extra room inside is welcome.

Yea. I used to work at apple before the screen applicators and had to put on tons of these. I got really good at it.
Great cup!
In general I've got a similar setup for my Deck.

I bought a large battery charger as well, though my family has borrowed it and now it's gone, so I'll have to grab a new one eventually.
Do the thumb caps affect the gyro?
Not at all
will the skull and co case fit in the factory steam travel case?
nope
Skull and Co has a camo carrying case
Here for the cat
Could speak to why you need a screen protector? I'm not in your situation so I don't know why you would need one. As far as my own situation is concerned, I don't need one so I would like to hear how it helps.
Am still thinking about getting a steam deck oled just wondering if it worth it or not
I like mine a lot
@caffeineandconsoles I been thinking of getting the steam deck oled or a ps5 slim I have xbox already just want to get one more thing which one you think
I've watched a lot of gameplay footage and it looks amazing. Games like RDR2 being playable on it is nuts. Combine that with the OLED screen and the battery life and you have your answer.
💥
What are the games you play most often on your steamdeck?
Single Player RPG's
First off that Glock reference was perfect. Secondly this was a great episode and I really enjoyed this cup and format. Have you tried the skull & co jump gate dock? Stay tacticool! 🤙
I thought this was the best reference
So I just ran across your channel. Love it! Sub! What do you think of Emulation on the deck?
I think it’s really rad. I just don’t do it right now
I'm a refined gamer, I drink tea. Coffee makes me fart a lot.
hahahah
What are your thoughts on Nintendo shutting down yuzu and citra?
