    Here's a weird tip. You can connect your phone to your deck with bluetooth and any audio you play on your phone will play on the deck. Another convenient way to listen to a podcast or music while gaming.

      This works a little, but anything that comes out of my headphones pauses every few seconds making it pretty much unusable. Maybe it works with wired headphones and speakers, but it doesn't look like it works with Bluetooth headphones.

    Steam deck is the greatest handheld of all time, at least for me. You guys just don't know how long I've been waiting for a handheld that allow yous to play 3rd party games on the go. I've had a GB Advance, DS, DSI, 3DS, Switch, PSP, and PS Vita.
    Being able to play GTA4, GTA5, COD, Just Cause, day one automatically was a dream and now it's a reality. I dont have to hope and wonder if a certain game is coming out for a specific handheld anymore because if its coming to PC then it's coming to the Steam Deck.

      I've had the original Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS. Sadly never got around to psp, Vita, or that Sega handheld. I've also got an Anbernic device.
      The Steam Deck is an absolute game changer. It's the most exciting thing I've purchased in years.

  • @L0wSkiller
    @L0wSkiller Před 10 měsíci +2

    One thing to maybe do, is depending on the type of game you are playing or what you are doing, is you can put a shortcut on your desktop that leads you to game save folders. You can copy save game files, rename backups, and even if you set it up on a LAN with your main pc and set up a network drive, you can manually transfer save game files between your PC and steamdeck!
    My cloud data refused to sync when I tried to play Deep Rock Galactic one time. This save file was like 50 hours past where it was on my deck, so there was no way I was just gonna eat the loss of time. I hadnt used the desktop mode before this incident, but it really opened my eyes to just how cool the steamdeck is!
