I typically don't comment on KZitem videos (I know what an original opening to a comment) but I really want to tell you this. Your character is phenomenal. You are such a genuine and kind person, participating in and creating charities and music composure. You start every video by greeting the viewer as more of a friend than anything else, which is something I do not see often. You appreciate everything you get, small or big. Heck you even give back what you make. I haven't even mentioned the structure of your videos, they are amazing. They are very organized, very informative, and have a hint of comedy. I found this channel from your top 5 games for Steam Deck, which has impacted not only me, but many others. Don't worry about hate you might receive or the way you come off, just be yourself. Wow I just realized I wrote a ton, you ain't getting those 2 minutes back. Anyways I hope you have a great day and I wish you great success on your KZitem journey. #steamdeckboiz

If I'm being honest, the skeptic in me thought this channel was production of some corporate KZitem content tank and Mike Barnes was just a personality and a paid actor. And if that's still the case, consider me fooled. But it is refreshing to learn that you've got another platform where you've honed your skills making video shorts (or at least, that's the script you've been handed to read for this video...). I look forward to watching this channel grow. #steamdeckboiz

Dude, no need to feel slimy at all. We can tell a LOT of hard work goes into this and you truly care about the quality. We're all rooting for you, Mike f*cking Barnes! #steamdeckboiz Speaking of Steam Deck, would be interesting to hear if you've managed to play many co-op games with your partner. One of the best things about the Switch is the ability to turn it into an instant local multiplayer machine and it feels like this functionality is a little lacking on the Deck. Maybe something for a future video! Cheers

Hey Mike, it really shows that you had a lot of fun writing, filming, and editing this video. I found your channel through the subreddit of the Steam Deck, and I am so glad that I did. I enjoy your down-to-earth vibe, your witty, charming humor, and the production value of your videos immensely. I was very much on the fence about getting a Steam Deck, especially during these trying times, but your videos showed me how much fun this device can be - despite certain hiccups. I am very much looking forward to all the other videos you will come up with. Best wishes from Germany! :) #STEAMDECKBOIZ Quick edit: I want to add that, in my view, your fear of this video coming off as some sort of flex was totally unfounded! The opposite is true for me: it came off as highly informative and very humble.

THANK YOU 🙏 Its truly such a honour to know that you're enjoying the videos despite it being a non steam deck related. Also two more people donated to my charity TIME which is absolutely INSANE. 🤯 George and Steve I honestly cannot thank you enough. You are truly the BEST BOIS 🙏 Thanks again dudes, I appreciate you all more than you know. Have a awesome day ⭐ #steamdeckboiz #steamdeckgurlz
