I understand questioning your own thoughts and wondering if this is all worth it, but I just want you to know that I watch your videos everyday no matter what the subject is! It's a nice break from being a parent. I appreciate what you do man, keep on grinding 😊
Upgrading the internal storage on the Steam Deck isn't too difficult. In fact, it's been made a bit easier on the OLED than the LCD models. I went nuts and put 2TB in mine, and it is AMAZING! Yes, you can get into choice-paralysis having so many games on board, but for travel, it's a great peace-of-mind thing.
Hey there!
Really? I've watched a few videos and worry about putting a 2TB in there.. I worry i may break something. Post installing the SSD, how does it boot up again? What would i need to do from my end to reset steamos? is there cloud download (similar to Asus rog ally)?
Upgrading it was so easy. Super glad I got a base model and just ordered replacement storage
I just upgraded my SSD yesterday with a 2TB it was so simple stop being a scary cat your a smart man im sure you are its sooo simple nd easy literally unscrew nd install honestly but when you install it remember to plug your power cord up so the steam deck can come back on then your good 💪🏾
I can’t say whether or not this is worth it for you but I can say I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to these videos. Thank you!
Dead Island 🏝️ 2 is the 🏆 of the month 💫

Congratulations!! Respect
Good consistency with videos!
Pro tip, a PS5/PS4 controller on the Deck gives the best latency performance. Some people don't notice, but if the 8bitdo or XBox controllers feel slightly sluggish to you, you WILL notice a difference with a PS5/PS4 controller.
The Xbox series x controllers have the least lag for me.
Huge fan of the channel great work. Keep it up👍
“Take it easy” Nacho libre reference?
Came across your stuff awhile
Back. But damn man I relate so much with the dad stuff lol keep it up.
as a specialty barista, and also a gamer. You earn a subscriber o/
Damn I can't stop watching your videos man. The way you go about them just feels way more personal. I love coffee and the steam deck. Good combo.
I dont trust Lenovo to make improvements on the Legion Go once newer models come out. Im pretty sure there will be a Go 2 announced in 2024 with new specs so what does that mean for anyone with a Go 1? Plus there is virtually no 3rd party support for this device or community support like with the SD.
I absolutely love the way you talked about dealing with "attention deficits" and take jabs at the fact that we prioritize definitions over actions we can be taking to deal with our individual hurdles. 100% agree.
Hey Julien,
If the Nintendo Switch 2 comes out, will you immediately buy it or will you wait on an oled model. How does your gaming on the steam deck influence your future purchase of nintendo switch 2
This is how I feel where we are at right now. Waiting for switch 2 maybe the next answer. Depends on what comes from that.
Really happy to be back on Steam with Steam Deck. It is, the Nintendo of PC handhelds. They really put those extra touches into it. It's not a big company, that makes many other types of hardware, trying to play catch up. Through the years, I have had many Asus motherboards and video cards, they are solid but Steam, has always had a great gaming service and the deck is integrated into the service wonderfully. The ability, like you said, to be able to pickup/put down the game is key to me and the deck/switch have been flawless at it.
I've been here watching videos everynow and then. Crazy thing is i wasn't aware that i wasn't subscribed. Great video man. Your eyes look exhausted. I hope you and your wife get the chance to catch up on some rest.
The Steam Deck has the perfect consolized PC gaming experience. It's going to be something that Microsoft needs to catch onto with the way PC handhelds are blowing up right now. As a former Windows Phone owner (remember that?), I remember fondly when Microsoft upgraded to WP 10 and it was a MASSIVE improvement. They did this (even though they couldn't compete with iOS and Android) years ago, so they're not new to the mobile space, they have experience. They can use this experience to at the very least, turn out a tuned up version of Xbox OS or revisit their mobile expertise and create a mobile friendly version of Windows.
When you take your switch for traveling , do you usually bring your joy cons or the Nyxi controller for handheld?
Also how’s Halo on the steam deck? Been thinking of getting a steam deck or ROG Rally for Halo since I’m hardly on my Xbox series s
Hey man. Loving the videos. Please be very careful or preferably don't apply pressure like that on that glass pot. It's very thin and it had some extra weakness because of its shape.
Yea sketched me out tbh...
Man, youtube will not stop recommending this channel. Nothing wrong with the content, I'm just not into the pretentious, baggy eye'd coffee bro scene, if thats a thing. Just count how many times you hear the words ME, MY and I'M and you'll see what I mean. It's the narcissist personality thing! Okay, rant over...
this channel is about my interests around gaming. I am a father of 2 under 3 years old and take care of them 7 days a week all day long as a work from home dad. You must be a single person or else you would understand. Okay, rant over.....
The dude is sharing his opinion…. Is he supposed to say we?
@@redonutlike venom lol
there's a nighttime cool blue light filter so you can still sleep well look on the right side panel that comes out when you press the 3 buttons
I have never broken a glass with an Aeropress, but I am nervous every single time. My favorite cup is a double wall glass mug.
My buddy just got the Steam Deck, and honestly, now Im excited for next gen, because I'll just go handheld PC and save me tons. Very impressive. I just dont see the value just yet, seeing as I own all modern gen consoles.
I love these videos. After trying and returning them all, I finally found my perfect match. The Legion Go w/ 2 T Terabytes is perfect for me. Bottom line: No matter which is your match, we all win.
I went the ROG Ally route and love it but i Totally understand why a lot of people don't go that route. Armoury Crate interface works well for me, but the issue with non-steam deck portable pc's is that there is no native support for this form factor within windows and i feel like thats a major L on Microsoft's end. Truthfully all we need is a compact/gaming focused NATIVE windows UI. Call it Windows 11 XBOX mode or whatever. Sadly, i don't see this being adressed for at least 2 years. Still, I love my Ally because i believe that portable pc gaming is the future.
Give Nonsteamdecklaunchers a try. Very easy to do.
What I love about the Steam Deck is that it's like a Gateway or a Bridge to PC Gaming for Console Gamers. Valve clearly put a lot of thought into the design and function of the device. Being able to put it to sleep and resume is a Big deal. Steam OS and Verified Titles is a Big Deal. The OLED is a Big Deal. Battery Life again is a Big Deal. The other solutions, though not bad, I think make more sense to Power users. I'm a PC gamer with a High End Desktop but I'm also a Console gamer. The idea of a Handheld PC that behaves like a Console and fully integrates into my near 20yr old Steam Account Won me Over in a Big Way.
this vid made me fall asleep lol I needed some of that coffee no for real
Bed is where I play the steam deck the most. Outside my room I’m playing console on the tv
Congratulations on the new baby! and caffeine is a delicious stimulant that treats adhd well just like other stimulants (adderall and Ritalin). Great info, thanks!
Same I sold my legion and ally and got oled deck.battery and screen is so much better I don’t even mind the worse performance.i was playing last epoch with 45fps cap and it almost lasted me 3hours and 50 min while the other 2 can hardly do 2 hours

"The Lenovo more than ASUS (ROG Ally)"
Uhh can you explain to me why you think the Legion Go is more of a handheld PC than the ROG Ally?
They are both Windows 11 based handheld PC's running off the same Z1 Extreme chipsets.
Just wondering, and curious, not hating
It has the mouse (gimicky as heck) but it has that so it wins on technicality
And the Steam Deck production and design is handled by Gabe Newell who is a gamer first. So he knows what gamers want. Meanwhile the ROG and Legion is handled by bunch of business consultants who put features and specs above the soul of a gamer. These things make the Steam Deck stand apart from the rest imo.
They really do
Well, I have kind of similar experience (Steam OS vs Windows). I have (old) Steam Deck and I love it BUT due to some youTube channels I convinced myself that I need ... more powerful handheld. Windows handheld. At that time there was Asus Rog Ally and AyaNeo Geek 1S (also based on 7840U cpu). I didn't like Asus "gaming" design, so I went with AyaNeo Geek 1S.
Maan, I was so excited when it came. It looked stylish, beefy etc.
But then, all of the downsides started popping up. One missconception is that I thought that I will have same / very similar experience using Steam (windows application) as Steam Deck (Steam OS). I coudln't be more wrong. The main difference is that Steam Deck has all the buttons configurable. It is not Xbox360 controller, but controller perfectly tailored to the OS. You click ... and left menu opens, during the game you also can open Steam OS Layer Menus. On Windows handheld it turned out that "xbox" controller button does not behave as you would expect - it doesnt open Steam side menu, it doesn't work when you're in game. The only way to have some kind of UX Consistency is to map any kind of extra button to ALT + F4 / Close App combination. Or install additional programs that will help you map literally every your button to some keyboard shortcuts, but it is rather invasive.
I was really mad at it, because all the biggest youTubers kind of didn't mention it. And yea, it was 800 $ not 400 $ (like steam deck). I expected same UX / UI consistency and more power. (yea, I was wrong ;) ).
If you stream locally (via ie. Moonlight or original Steam Remote) there is also inconsistency in terms of UX. On Steam Deck you're easily able to stop streaming, close the host and it's all cleaned, ok. On windows handheld the only way to ie. exit Moonlight is to ... ALT+F4 (button) which yea, closes Moonlight and puts you back to the Steam (if you add moonlight as non-steam game), but this will leave the mess on host machine. It's like, on Steam Deck my shortcuts / controlls / mappings can be triggered inside Moonlight / host machine, while on Windows Handheld this "xbox 360 controller" only works within windows OS itself, not inside Moonlight / host machine. Yea, I know, it may be confusing BUT it makes a huge difference in terms of UI / UX Consistency.
Also, touchpads. If you like some older games, that originally used mouse etc. then you'll love Steam Deck, you'll love all of the customization options, additional buttons, pads, when it comes to setup controls. Thanks to that you can very nicely play some oldschool RPG games which ie. had a lot of keyboard shortcuts, mouse controlled etc.
And ... If you use Steaming Locally, you'll quickly realise that it is far more comfortable to Steam GAme from your desktop PC and consume 5W power of your handheld, so ie. on Steam Deck you'll be able to play AAA game for hours in 60 fps, without your device making even hot. That's the moment when I realised that ... I don't need more power. Anything AAA related I can stream locally from my PC (WiFi6).
The only benefit of Windows Handheld i see is that:
- it's easier to mod games (ie. using nexus mods etc.) - so if you love tweaking ie. Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4 etc. then it is easier - very often you can even copy your Desktop PC version. Yes it is doable on Steam Deck but requires more effort
- mmo, online games sometimes doesn't work at all, or require some additional effort to setup on Steam Deck, while on Windows Handheld they work like out of the box
- and of course, not all games work via Proton.
Yea, maybe it's about preferences. I realised that there are so many games that I don't necessary need AAA power handheld. Actually I prefer a bit less power, but more efficient, giving more options to play older games etc.
ps. Yea, after a week or two fiddling I had satisfying setup for my AyaNeo Geek 1S (Steam + EmuDeck + EmulationStation) to play modern games, steam games, retro games BUT it required a lot of effort and I still DON'T Like that feeling that I use ... desktop computer ;) I just prefer to Turn ON Steam Deck and have a feeling that I use a handheld (not a desktop computer).
Elden ring and cyberpunk run better on steamOS than windows or Xbox, many games do. Also, every high performance super computer run’s Linux, it’s because Linux is far superior for people that actually understand how to use a computer, it’s like a standard compared to an automatic
Didn’t know there was a less powerful legion go
Form factor wise i adore the steam deck. I jist wish it had the power of the legion go. Or at least a usb 4 port/oculink.
Hopefully on the deck 2. So for now im grabbing my legion. I give my deck googly eyes every time tho. She knows i care.
Man, kind of regretting the legion go no cap...
💥
The legions inverted sticks look uncomfortable, and that’s coming from a Xbox guy. The Deck gives you way more hand space.
They aren't as good
Is it worth the effort? Yes.
The coffee making while talking is such a quirky hook.
I have a Go, and I really wanted a Deck, but not being able to play all my games from epic and other places os a non-starter
Haha. I mean I was gonna make a cup anyway. Why not do both at once.
The rog ally and legion go actually have the same chip
intersting
windows is not a portable OS, period.
Hell no.. The Legion go is way too awesome.. I love playing Nintendo Switch Games on the legion go.. That giant 8.8 screen makes it look even better than the switch system itself.
But how do you tolerate those cramped up inverted sticks being below the buttons, I mean the switch was unbearable to play more than 10 minutes
We need XboxOS then ROG and Lenovo will start cursing it
You’re like a dad who buys a mini van instead of a muscle car smh
mini van is the best. cool it bub
The leveno legion go is a absolute beast buy far my best purchase two of my mates have the steam deck oled and they returning them for the legion go
I wish I liked using it as much as I liked looking at it. it's just too large for me and a little less intuitive than I would like
😂😂😂 cool fake story. IPS is pathetic compared to OLED. I got 60 friends all returning the legion for a deck. See...I can make up stories too
Don’t get too hung up on frame rate. Trust me when I tell you that most people can’t tell past 60fps.
If you’re playing some competitive esports game, fine, but the average gamer is totally in a good spot at 60fps.
I chose Steam Deck over ROG and Legion because Steam is an American company, and Americans do it better than the Chinese when it comes to software and hardware.
what an awful and infuriating sound when someone drinks something, agg, please put your mic far enough so the people do care this not hear it. about the main theme, yes steam deck it's more comfortable por casual use, but I still thing that a nintendo switch its better for that kind of user and really not a pc enthusiast. cheers
Dude…. Cmon.
