Dude, as a new Dad, this content right now is literal perfection for me. Keep it up homie
Welcome aboard!
Die hard Nintendo guy. Finally picked up a Steam Deck this year and it's reinvigorated my desire to game. Trying to play Bioshock 1 on Joycons at muddy resolution was really dragging. To see it run 90FPS maxed on a Deck was a game changer.
it was absolutely eye opening
Mate I hear you loud and clear in this video. You come across so genuine and I can completely relate to your comments about “ being present” and being able to enjoy your hobby . Key word being “enjoy”. I’m a dad of two and very much realise I have had to adjust my hobby to cater to my family. I sold my ps/Xbox as I no longer crave that big AAA title as more often than not it doesn’t fill the gap I’m looking for . I just want to enjoy the odd game here and there on my steam deck/ switch with the kids . I want to be able to keep my hobby without it become too intense with console exclusive or being tied down to one system. Great video man - take it easy .
Thanks brother. You get it.
So much love for you and the channel man. Been following from the start. I always stick on your videos when I’m helping my other half with household tasks or chilling playing my steam deck, now we have a beautiful 9 month girl. Thanks again man. All the best to you and your family
As a dad with a little one i just got a Rog Ally for all the reason you list, can’t wait to get into more dad gaming lol😊
Just got into your channel . Although im not a father this place has super chill vibes. Was sony my whole life got into nintendo in 2013 and once I went pc this whole avenue opened up to me . When i got the steam deck it changed alot of ways of playing. I think pc handhelds is the future.
I absolutely love the Steam Deck revolutionized my gaming especially after having my daughter. But once i saw how easy it was to get into emulating my childhood favorites on the Deck it has been nothing short of life changing. Perfect hits of nostalgic dopamine that can be paused whenever Dad duty calls
For me the RG35XX-H became my main handheld replacing my beloved PSP. It's fantastic screen, build quality, battery life and options to play old games between cooking, shooping, hospital visits it's just a great feeling. My New 2DS is great too!
My Switch is now my main Couch Console at home if I have free time,. I'm currently playing AC4 Black Flag on it and to this day it's the best Pirate game.
Switch and Steamdeck are a blessing for us bush parents.
Absolutely loved Crisis Core. I got it for Switch and couldn't put it down. I think I would have preferred playing it on PS5 but the Switch portability was key as a dad as well. I think I might get the next Steam Deck but now still loving my Switch.
Same boat here man. It’s 90 percent steam deck these days for the convenience and comfort of that device.
Firing the the PS5 for the first time in months just to play Rebirth, and admittedly that 50-80 hour game will probably take me 2 months to complete on the ps5 vs a month on the deck.
I’ll definitely rebuy it when it comes to PC, so I can cross play my saves across the deck, my gaming pc, and my gaming laptop.
I cannot wait for the game on the deck
I agree completely.
I am a college student and veteran. I grew out of video games a couple years ago, but I recently got an intense itch to play games.
I already had a MacBook Pro, so I didn't need another 1,000-2,000+ laptop just to play video games, then I came across the steam deck and it sounded perfect for what I wanted; a game system that can play pc games, play them good enough to not have any problems, and something I don't have to invest a lot of time/money into. The steam deck is all of these things for me.
It's so easy to pick up for a casual session of a game or two, and then shutting it down to study or spend time with friends.
I run mac book pro too
Wow, my sentiments exactly. I spent the last few years collecting handheld consoles because of the pandemic, it was fun playing awesome gems from switch, PS Vita, 3ds and retro handhelds - until my wife bought me the Steam Deck Oled. This device simply is a godsend for dads like us. Pickup and play has never been this awesome!
It is incredible and I can't believe I went so long avoiding it
I have made many friends through my gaming life, all of them because of gaming, and guess what? I have never met any of them face to face. The best type of friends you can have. :D That is apart from my family, and because of my hobby I have a large gaming family. But they are not friends, they are family.
I’m a console gamer turned PC after purchasing my Rog Ally 5 months ago and I gotta say, PC gaming is the future. I’ve sold almost all my older consoles and I don’t regret it one bit! It’s also my first time owning a PC which is just badass!
I am a convert
Great video! have the steam deck and the legion go, and I enjoy both of them. For me the steam deck is great for most games on steam but if i am playing a game not on the steam launcher or even some games on steam it is easier to just grab the legion go. When I first got the steam deck I spent hours trying to get some of my games to work on the steam deck (not just games with anti-cheat software) with no luck. When I got the legion go I just downloaded the games and started playing. One really is a steam console while the other is a handheld pc but they are both great options for gaming while living a busy life.
Great episode even if I didn't agree with it all. I have enjoying watching you go back and forth with your gaming habits. It has been a little frustrating at times where I have said dude just pick something 😂. I think if we are all really honest we all do it. I have the same thing going on for me from time to time. As a dad with a big family I can say I do have time to game. I set time aside after the kids go to bed. My wife does her hobbies and I do mine. Sometimes it is gaming sometimes it's reading manga, other times it's creating. For me I haven't made a jump to steam yet 1. I still have a Switch & PS4 I can play. 2. I am very much a physical games person, I do buy digital games but I'm just not ready to not own my games and essentially paying to have a lifetime rental of that game(the games lifetime not mine). For me it's more about taking that time out to enjoy my hobbies. Happy gaming bro!
So it's the touch-grass handheld for us old folk! Now we can work, life, and play! (my SD is modded to hell and back lol)
hahah how is it modded
I loved playing my Xbox, it was my go to device. But when my first kid was born, my wife and I wanted to limit his screen time and it then became near impossible to play anything on my Xbox. But the switch I could play, and when I got my steam deck a few months ago, wow. As you said, I can be present for everything and still enjoy this hobby
It really is good at making gaming more accessible
Didn’t know how much I enjoyed this content until it was over great job on video very chill vibes and comfy and welcoming can’t wait for the next cup of joe
Thanks man. I like making it
I know what you are saying. I got my Steam Deck last June. I also have a Series X, gaming laptop, PS4, PSP, PS Vita, Xbox One S, Meta Quest 2, and my son has the Switch. At the time of getting the Steam Deck I was trying to pick between it and a PS5. I’m married so it’s not about being poor for me, it’s more about being me bringing more gaming hardware into the house. Lol😂. Anyway I don’t regret picking it up over a PS5. It’s become my go to gaming device.
Bro completely relate got 2 kids now, i go on boats alot for work and its amazing to have somthing that i can play the games i want and still have time for family
totally man. I love it
I was tied to the Xbox for a long time. I bought the series x when it launched. Last year I bought a ps5 and had a chance to play so many great exclusives. The only games i played on Xbox were games I could have played on the ps5 such as Alan wake 2 and call of duty. I decided I wanted a portable pc and ended up buying a steamdeck oled. Now I’m able to play halo infinite on my steamdeck. I sold my Xbox and I am now sticking to my ps5 and steamdeck.
Great video! Just found your channel and subbed, love the chilled Dad vibe as a Dad myself.
Quick question... Does playing Crisis Core ruin FF7 remake/rebirth? I I haven't played any and would like to play Crisis Core first on my Steam Deck as I understand its a prequel to FF7??
I had less than 20 steam games when I got my steam deck. I now have over 350! Enjoy! A big plus is Steam sales. There are so many deals on PC that just don’t exist on console.
As a coffee nerd 🤓 I really enjoyed your video
Nice workflow brother
Thank you so much man
I was in the exact situation a year ago and once I went Steam Deck I never looked back. I grew up a Nintendo fanboy and while I still love Nintendo I sold my Switch in favor of the Steam Deck and it has changed my perspective on gaming.
I'm right here right now. Next Nintendo console is around the corner and I cannot be bothered
Agree 100% with you, I'm a father of two, and I love the steam deck for the same reason !!
its the best
As a fellow dad who plays games - I'm with you 100%. I felt this way when I first got the Switch - and again now when I got the Steam Deck (the kids have pretty much taken over the Switch - so I can't take it with me anymore).
As a new PC gamer - have you played Portal 1 & 2 yet?
Bro I feel the same way about playing mostly on the steam deck. I really do love my ps5 for having the horsepower for big games.. if the steam deck does it well enough that’s where I’m gonna play it
I am right there. especially with the kiddos
I’ve been tempted to sell my series s for a steam deck. I literally only use it for Halo, and rather just play it on the go. Hardly home to play my ps5 to catch up on my library and a majority of games I wanna play are also on steam. You think it’s worth the change ?
You think moving forward you’ll be getting and playing new games on the steam deck more than on steam deck than the ps5? (If it’s not exclusive)
How does inter grade run on the SteamDeck? Been looking at picking it up
really well
The Legion Go with Bazzite Linux installed is 95% towards the experience of the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck is for light weight gaming, indies and the like. The Legion Go for more 'serious' gaming. The Steam Deck OLED is slightly better for ergonomics, and that screen. The Legion Go pips the OG Steam Deck Screen, and for times i wan't that bigger screen. Soon I'm going to grab a GPD G1 eGPU, and then my desktop may be redundant. But we'll see.
I like the gcloud paired with ps5 or xbox. Quick resume is a game changer getting into a game within a few seconds. Waiting mins for a game to boot is rough with the dad schedule lol
It just isnt fast enough for me
@caffeineandconsoles yea it deff depends on the type of games you're playing. I have found hardwiring the consoles to a wifi6 access point solved any latency issues for myself, but spending a lot on networking gear sometimes defeats the purpose of an affordable handheld.
I feel exactly the same about my videogames. I switched my gaming pc and ps4 for a switch and a steam deck oled, because i am a dad who plays video games first.
💥
thanks man
Yep 2 kids and oled deck is perfect.had ally and legion but their battery was so shit oled deck is impressive even tho it’s less performance.4 hours of play time in last epoch On single charge is just really good
I only have an Xbox series s to play halo and I get interrupted a lot because I have kids would it be a good idea to get a steam deck
I'm thinking about at some point getting a Steamdeck because I have been getting my Steam library running in Linux Mint, troubleshooting issues (which are surprisingly few so far, so many games run better for me than they do on my Windows 10 machine, I have 2 high end PC's, but my Linux machine has a 6th gen i7, my Windows machine has Ryzen 7 2nd generation, RX7900XTX in Linux box and GTX1080ti in Windows machine, AMD card some games in Windows didn't like but runs butter smooth in Mint). Wanting to ditch Windows, I love Linux. Love your pour over setup my dude! Linux might take a while to get it where I want it to be, but what a great experience once I get it there. I want a T-shirt with Tux on it grabbing his crotch and flipping the bird saying "Hey Microsoft...suck on DEEZ NUTS!!!" lol...
If Steam Deck OLED, released after 2 years, marks the half life of steam deck, then steam deck 2 will probably be released in 2026. makes sense in my mind, as it is a half PC half console, and prob have half a lifetime of a console, since PC hardware updates faster.
I am confident Square Enix will release Rebirth to PC/steam deck after a year of PS5 exclusivity
End of 2025 probably. That is if the leap in hardware Valve is looking is available by then.
Related but different.... My friend at work is getting into guitar and he's still beginner but obsessed with the hobby. He made his first big purchase, a PRS Swamp Ash Special. It's an absolute work of art, drop dead gorgeous. But it's been a few months now and he's not in love with it. I then let him borrow my $400 Jazzmaster. And he's BLOWN away by how much more comfortable and accessible it feels to play. He's playing it more than he ever expected. And now he's torn, he bought a dream guitar (and it is), but it's not the right guitar for him. He's going to sell it and get a significantly cheaper Jazzmaster because it's just the right one for him. And that was tough to come to terms with. But, also exciting for the future. The handheld gaming market IS the future. I want to see Xbox and Playstation invest into it so badly. Steamdeck seems like a total dream to me 🙌
You should try and setup Chiaki on your deck so you can remote play your PS5
I am going to look into it
Isn’t great how PC gaming sets you free 😂
I stopped playing my xbox series s because it feel so limiting and the prices of games are just way too high.
I have a steam deck, playing at 60fps isn't that important to me coming over from the switch because we all know the switch games mostly are 30fps so 60fps isn't that important to me,also running it at 30fps saves the battery life and helps keep the temperature down, there's times when i dock it and it upscales it to 1080p ,im not looking for any higher resolution because my tv is a 1080 tv and at 1080 30fps on high settings they look great and the performance and battery life makes me very happy
I am a blank gamer. However, I only say this, because you perfectly described my brain 😂😂😂😂😂
hahah love it
No soy bueno hablando en inglés pero si lo entiendo casi perfectamente, escuché cada palabra y te confieso que con tu vídeo tuve una revelación del porque ya no uso casi mi PS5, tengo meses sin usarla pues desde que tengo la steam deck puedo estar en la cama con mi esposa y mi hijo, puedo estar esperando a mi hijo en el carro a que salga del colegio, puedo esperar a mi esposa mientras compra ropa, puedo estar haciendo eso que me gusta sin aislarme o encadenarme a una silla frente a una pantalla. Un abrazo y un saludo desde Barranquilla Colombia.
¡Es sorprendente cómo la tecnología puede acercar a las familias! Gracias por compartir su experiencia. Usé el traductor de Google para esto...
Just wait until Nintendo blows our minds in 2025. Handheld consoles are finally catching up to Nintendo’s brilliance of a hybrid console. Can’t wait to see what they do to change the industry next!
I like steam deck, video over
k, go make one
I been thinking about getting the steam deck oled it just i feel 550 for it it alot of money
One you realize that you can play 90 percent of games every made in history in it (with pc libraries and emulation) it’s a phenomenal price point.
@gmoney0987 can u really play 90 percent of game on steam deck I hear a lot of negativity about it
@@cs-ge5kx what negatives have you heard?
I’m not saying it’s perfect, but yes. If you count pretty much every system up to PS4 through emulation and tons of steam games, then yeah, you can play more than you’ll ever have the time to even play
Fortnight is my favorite right now on my switch I want a steam deck cuz so many cool games I wanna play is on steam deck but I’m a mom of a 4 year old and have little to no time to play as it is so for me to buy a steam deck when I only can play when my daughter is sleeping at night for like a hour before I go to sleep doesn’t feel right so I’ll stick with my switch for now
totally fair. I play during our "bluey time" next to my kids
Im playing FF7 Rebirth on the Steam Deck thanks to Chiaki
how is it running
No bad at all man. Really depends on your wifi connection though. If you have not tried it I would give it a shot, only takes about 5 to 10 minutes to setup. Then you have almost complete control over your gaming library from the Deck.@@julienmelnick
buy tf2 keys from seller and sell those in community market. you gonna save 15 to 25% in games. do a research it will pay off. also save in steam deck too 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Hey! Love your content!! ❤ is it possible to play Fortnite on steam deck? That’s my game I play hard core on right now and want to still play but open up my gaming library.
Yes, but it's not an instant process, you need to get Windows on it, by default it comes with SteamOS
Time to get your steam deck to stream PS5 games
im looking into it more
Feel like every Nintendo person goes through this towards the end of a Nintendo handheld life cycle. ds players moved over to the psp and 3ds players moved over to the ps vita cuz Nintendo is for babies. you'll be back
Do you think its worth getting the steam deck or waiting for the Switch successor?
right now I would go deck any day. Not much nintendo can bring that would allow me this flexibility with AAA
