So excited to be here. I subbed, liked and thank you! A 45 year old guy with three young kids. I haven't been in the gaming for about 30 years. We got a switch about 2 years ago and played a lot of breath of the wild Mario Odyssey and such. The kids have been wanting to play all these other games and we couldn't figure out what system to go with and then I stumbled across the SteamDeck! As you can imagine I've been listening to a lot of channels like yours trying to figure out if we should Fork over the cash to get a referb or a new LCD or an OLED. I have a feeling a large portion of people coming in to find a steam deck are folks like me that don't know all the acronyms or even understand all the achievements that steam has made. I would ask that channels like yours when using acronyms try to quickly say what they stand for. And the limiting feature you mentioned say what it is how to locate it before you go forward. I think those little bits will help to onboard people faster and be more satisfied with their experience and be more likely not to give up their SteamDeck for another plug and play console. Thanks for what you do!

If you can stretch to it get the OLED, the battery life is better let alone the huge upgrade in visual quality from the screen. If you're just going to use it plugged into an external screen then buy the cheapest version that comes with an NVMe then if you need more storage later you can just replace the one inside it (if you don't feel confident taking the back off and/or reinstalling or cloning the system drive I'm sure there's a local computer business near you you can get to do it), the 64GB model uses soldered memory which can't be [easily] upgraded.

This is so weird, because when I spoke to a number of devs on Gamescom 2024, the usual answer was "it's playable". All devs seem to be interested in is making sure their game gets that "verified" checkmark. As you all know, the "verified" checkmark says nothing about framerates, frame times, use of FSR and Frame-Gen. As long as the game launches at 800p by default, and uses built-in controller, the game will get its checkmark, and that's all indie devs care about when it comes to performance on Deck.

The dock experience is still the weak point for me. The other day I was playing a game in handheld mode, docked it, turned on my controller, and while the steam menus worked, it wouldn't let me input anything in the game itself. I had to undock, save the game, redock, close the game, and the relaunch the game so it worked with the controller. All of that is to say that while the dock experience is slowly getting better, it's still the main source of jank for me.

I keep thinking that when the Steam Deck 2 (or whatever Valve's next gaming hardware might be) arrives, it could seriously shake up the console landscape. We own an Xbox, a PC, a Steam Deck, and a few Switches, but if I had to choose just one due to a limited budget, it would be the Steam Deck. Anyone who’s spent time with the Steam Deck tends to agree that dedicated gaming devices like this are shaping the future of PC gaming. Personally, I don’t plan on buying another Xbox again, but I will definitely be getting Valve’s next piece of hardware.

Hasn't Minisforum just one-upped their Oculink interface on one of their new mini-PCs? It has a x8 PCIe 4.0 connector and dock for the computer and external GPU. X8 is not perfect but it's still a lot more bandwidth than Oculink, which I think is about the same x4.

Hey Bill, I think the reason that the resolution setting per game is in the cog wheel and not Quick Access menu is do to technical limitations of the compositor, Gamescope. I believe it sets the resolution as part of the command to handle the rendering and can't be changed dynamically. Maybe it can get a refractor and allow for dynamic switching of resolution later and who knows what other neat things can be implemented.

8:30 Issue with putting it in the quick access menu is that those settings are supposed to be applied without a restart. It'd be really confusing to put something in there that works differently from everything else. Personally I'd prefer to just have another icon next to the gear and controller icon for resolution. Or short of that, put select resolution at the top of the dropdown for the gear icon. Currently it's gear icon -> Properties -> General -> Resolution -> Dropdown, which is just insane and whoever designed that UX should be fired. I think a problem with Valve in general is that they lack UX designers high in the food chain and it seems to be older devs with a 90s understanding of building user experience calling the shots.

I think the Switch 2 will be somewhat similar in overall output to the Deck, it's basically what's practically feasible at the types of wattage devices such of these are constrained too. That's likely a factor in the devs now targeting Deck for optimisation, if they can get it good on deck then they can also translate that to Switch 2 too, when it releases, without having to bring in specialist conversion teams to re do the code from the bottom up, as they've had to time and time again on the Switch.

I think Switch 2 is going to make these handheld PCs irrelevant again. The only reason the Steam Deck was even viable was because of the lengthy PS4 cross gen combined with the unusually long Switch generation. Even with that perfect storm of opportunity they still only have sold a few million units. It’s too big and clunky to ever be a mainstream device. Switch 2 is going to be smaller, sleeker, more power efficient and have a seamless docked experience. I’ve been very disappointed in my experience with X86 PCs to the point I would rather use in home streaming on my RP4 Pro.

Switch 2 better than the deck? That's hard to come by... Don't get me wrong I'm sure it'll be super successful but more powerful or near as the deck probably not. The Steam Deck has 16GB of Ram, I could see the Switch 2 at most 12GB of Ram probably capable of running modern games and all. They aren't the type to make powerful hardware despite the games are very well received.
