The Great Clean Up: Old stuff removed, trimmed, sorted and organized. All new stuff up to date.
Welcome new Steam Deck owners! I'll update this video mega-list post every month to help out our new found brothers and sisters joining us on Team Deck!
I've been steadily cranking out useful (apparently, based on the comments) videos on Steam Deck for a couple of years and having a nice central post for the most useful ones made sense to me; so here it is. I did not include various "how games play on Deck" videos. My Steam Deck related playlist is here.
