I haven't tried them but I often hear about people modding "potato mode" versions of games (pretty sure one is already out for Starfield and Friends, for example) - fighting game players sometimes use them even if their systems are good to minimize any hitches that would screw up their inputs in a match.
I'm not sure to what degree that sort of thing runs on Deck because of how Proton works, but theoretically that combined with the Deck's other performance-enhancing modes will help some games run better for you!
If you like proggy stuff I'd definitely check out Arch Echo, they're incredible. If you like acoustic stuff then Rodrigo y Gabriela are also a great listen, and so is Kaki King (though I mostly only know her older stuff)
What part of cleaning your ass could be misconstrued as gay? Feels like an unnecessary aside, haha. Thanks for the step by step though, that makes sense!
