Everyone and hopefully soon I can join the Steam Deck Community and play these awesome games and setting it up for emulation etc. Can't wait to save up enough smackeroonies and make my dream come true. Love🧡🖤

I played a lot of Red Dead 2 and Cyberpunk on the deck. My old laptop died, and it was not quite powerful enough to run those games anyway. So replacing it with a more powerful, handheld that cost half as much was a no-brainer. I played a lot of GTA V on the Deck because my 360 died before I could finish that game. I've been getting into The Witcher 3 on the Deck, which before that I only had on the Switch.

One of these days I'm going to get myself a steam deck!

Been playing The Saboteur which runs and looks great, battery estimates about 6+ hours I think, solid 60fps, this one is actually better than I remember

The Elden Ring and Vampire Survivors Steam startup movies are awesome too.

Humans are a social animal. In order to survive, we need to club together just like wolves. This is why the notion of "validation" is so deeply ingrained in our psyche. The good thing about us humans is that our population is vast & diverse. There is always going to be a niche group of people that will embrace you for who you are. And it is for those people you do everything you do. Our unique passions are to be shared among those who appreciate it. These tightly knit groups are what make life worthwhile. At the end of a tiring day or at the end of a very tiring week, coming to this channel is what rejuvenates me and gives me the energy to keep going. So, my sincere thanks to you TD for making all these entertaining videos 😊

I never thought you would be the normal guy and I'm the odd ball. The only game I played on the Deck a lot in the top ten is Vampire Survivors and played only a couple hours with Ted Dead Pension 2.

Assassins Creed Black Flag!! On the deck it runs at a solid 45-60 frames on high (I keep it capped at 50 and i never notice dips) and it’s the perfect pirate game

you should definitely play Signalis and Tunic

There's one thing with the review... The hate Cdprojekt received for cyberjunk was completely deserved. It wasn't about the bugs, it was about lying/hiding the real state of the old gen versions. I was his biggest fan when they release the witcher 3, and now I don't trust them at all.

You really need to get a win mini. And dont forget to play Helldivers deluxe edition (the 1st game) on your deck.

My #1 played game on my steam deck has definitely been vampire survivors. Only thing that comes close to that is Chrono Trigger, which runs better on the deck than on pc.

I've only played two of these. Stardew and Vampire Survivors. I've also had interest in Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, and BG3, but haven't bought them yet. As for the others, the wild west setting in RDR2 isn't something I find very appealing, I've *never* liked the GTA games, and like you, Palworld is just not for me. My most-played games on the Deck are Endless Sky, Cassette Beasts, Nova Drift, and Slime Rancher. Oh, and no Hogwarts Legacy for me, thanks; Todd isn't the only one who has issues with J. K. Rowling. She kicked my dog too. 😅

7:15 THANK YOU!!! I swear, no one wants to admit the obvious about this game just because they are having fun with it and feel a need to defend it. If you understand the context of the AI generated models claims, then you understand that there are some significant reasons to believe that they are indeed AI generated. Beyond that, it really is just a Frankenstein of multple different successful games like Pokemon, Valheim, and Fortnite. Not saying that the devs just didn't do anything themselves. Considering everything above and the fact that the game launched with tons of bugs though, and a fair amount that were game breaking in a sense, this should have been a $20 game at most. One good thing I will say about the game is that I'm glad it got so popular because it shows Nintendo and GameFreak just how successful a real online open world Pokemon game would be. Hopefully it was a bit of a wake up call for them to get their sh!t together and make the game that people really want without it running at 20 FPS with constant bugs.

I don't think the accusations are fake, personally. However I have ZERO issue with game companies using AI to help with their design process. I'm not against AI at all. It gets thrown around as a negative thing, but I just see it as a tool that people can use for all sorts of things. I think there are a TON of game studios out there using it but they are just better at keeping it quiet. It's not a mark against any game if it has AI generated assets. It just means less work for artists (trust me, I KNOW!). I'm not a fan of the game and I make fun it it because of that, just like how I make fun of Fortnite or any other game that isn't my thing. I do it with love though, I'm glad that there are a ton of gamers who are getting games they enjoy. And I'll definitely be testing it on other devices now that I have it! Good chat buddy. Good chat.
