Hey everyone, I wanted to give an update on my status.
The claim that work would calm down was a lie, apparently, since it still hasn't too much. I've also been going through some big life changes, and will share when I am ready to.
I haven't gotten much of a chance to work on CU, but it remains mostly-3.6-ready and I'll update ASAP, I haven't gotten much to do a lot of testing to compare the default ZRAM to swap, and determine if a combination is better or whether to remove the swap functionality from CU altogether. The other functionality and tweaks remain perfectly usable in my testing, but I'll also be giving them another look to make sure. Lastly, there will be new functionality and tweaks in the update when it happens.
Sorry again for the delay, I promise that I haven't forgotten about the channel or this community β€οΈ

Hey everyone, as some of you may be aware, Noah over at SDHQ and I work closely together, and I'm excited to announce that he's started a new subreddit with a Steam Deck focus, r/SteamDeckHQ! It'll be a helpful and moderated community for help with Linux, sharing your love of the Deck, or even just chatting with some creators like myself.
In tandem with this announcement, I'd like to say that I'll be starting to frequent Reddit again after nearly a year away, and www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeckHQ will be my new home there! π

Hey all, the new video will be up tomorrow at noon EST, but I wanted to share something really quickly.
π Channel Members will now be getting early access to new videos, same as Patreon! π
Basically, if you support the channel through that little "join" button below the videos, then you'll get to see new videos before anyone else!
The next video is up already, so test out the new feature right now if you're interested!

Thank you for watching the videos, and I appreciate any merch you buy to represent your support of this channel, I'll see you all in another video soon! π

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give you an update on the channel.
I was mostly done with a Tears of the Kingdom Deck Dive using Yuzu, but as you may know, Yuzu is no more.
I'd also like to say that while Yuzu's creators posted their (clearly Nintendo-written) apology, I am firmly on the side of emulation, game preservation, and accessibility to all forms of art. Nintendo is actively harming those that deeply care about their properties in search of a better bottom line, and for that I think I'll be refraining from purchasing any more of their work in the near future.
Unfortunately all means that I'll be unable to release the work I've done on the Deck Dive, and I'll likely stay away from any Nintendo topics or games for quite a while.
Sorry for this news, for all of those that were waiting to see my newer settings π

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm not dead, and have just been going through some personal stuff.
The good news is that I'm back to producing content at full capacity, and have even started making progress on some things that I know you all would REALLY like to see.
If you want a little more detail on what I've been doing, or more interestingly, what is coming up, check out my latest Patreon post since I share more frequent updates and behind-the-scenes over there π

I'm happy to announce that I was able to get the Limited Edition Steam Deck OLED with the funding from Patreon!
THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of my patrons for making it possible, and I can't wait to bring you a whole wave of new content comparing the LCD and OLED, plus Deck Dives with settings for both models!
It's a little early to tell, but I think that the faster memory COULD lead to double-digit percentage gains in some tasks like high end emulation, or memory-bottlenecked games.
Since Patreon was how I funded this purchase, I wanted to give the patrons a little bit of a say in how I handle the unboxing, setup and initial testing of the new OLED Deck, so if you want a say whether I stream it, make a video, or just do it off camera, make sure to check out the post!

It's official, the new Steam Deck OLED was announced with improvements across the board!
Unfortunately, I haven't been contacted for a review unit, but I'm hoping to get one as soon as I can to deliver a technical comparison.
In the meantime, if you could fill out a quick survey for SDHQ so we can evaluate interest in the new OLED version, I'd really appreciate it!

I do technical content, mainly on the Steam Deck. I recently moved back to the USA from Sweden and just want to help make your tech/gaming experience better!
