I used my Steam Deck wrong.
If you’re tired of rolling the dice on USB-C cables, check out the True Spec cables from LTT Store here: https://lmg.gg/Polardr0idCablesQ12026
I’ve been using the Steam Deck for about two years now, and somewhere along the way, I realized I made it way harder to enjoy than it ever needed to be.
From installing too much, tweaking too often, buying things I didn’t actually need, and getting a little too swept up in sales, this video is a confession of the mistakes I made with my Steam Deck... so you don’t have to.
If you’re new to the Deck, thinking about buying one, or you’ve already gone a little too deep into the rabbit hole, hopefully this helps you avoid some unnecessary frustration and just enjoy playing games again.
