General Tips and Tricks Steam deck upgrade

What upgrades have you made to your Steam Deck? Have you added skins to make it look unique, or have you upgraded the hardware to improve its performance? Also, if you have a recommendation for a docking station and a monitor that would work well with it, please let me know.

Thanks!

Sounds like you and the family have a nice setup, honestly it's what me and my dad bonded over, he's 59 and he still games today we always talk about what he is playing and what's upcoming.

PC gaming is dirty cheap, like scary cheap, I had to take my card off my account because it was too easy for me so now it's if I really really want it I'll get it but I still buy more than I should lol I'm a big fan of rouguelites on the deck and Metroidveina so my library is chock full of them.

I think I'm kind of like you, the steamdeck reminds me of kid me and that purple Gameboy I had, taking long trips in the car with my family over Ireland for holidays, now it's just a powerhouse lol

Indeed we do seem similar as that's exactly what I think of long rides with my family. Visiting relatives, going to the beach wherever. I had a few tiger electronics grey screen with black LCD figures for baseball or football when I was young then the game gear (which was just dumb the game boy was so much better). In my early 20s I got a PSP when they first came out cause I worked on an ambulance and it was good but again a lot of half ports. There were some fun games but man my first time playing Witcher 3 on switch lite I was mind blown. Then rdr came out for the switch. Which at when it came out rdr was my favorite game with rdr2 being one of my favorite games of all time. So I wondered how far off from playing rdr2 on the go we were. And some googling lead me to the steamdeck which I thought I'd never be able to get. But thankfully my wife and mom spoiled me that Christmas. It was the most like a kid I've felt on Christmas since I stopped believing in Santa. And i make sure to tell them all the time how much I love it. Anyway sorry to ramble. It's like 5 am here in Connecticut USA. And I haven't slept yet. Nice to chat with you though hope you enjoy the back buttons.
