So I have a steam deck. Every game I play, I just play as is.

I’ve never, ever touched a single graphics or performance setting, not even screen brightness. It seems a bit intimidating.

I guess my first question, which is part of what seems intimidating, is: do I have to do this every single time I switch games?

Like say I play some game, and I tweak a whole bunch of graphics settings for it. Are those changes I made, are they specific to the game? Does the steam deck say “oh ok, for this one game those are the settings you want, got it”?

Or do I need to tweak the settings, remembering what the correct ones are for every value, every time I switch from one game to another?

Man, I just really wish there were community options for this that can get voted upon, just like how ther are community button mappings you can load in per game.

Where do I start with getting into this kind of stuff?

I hope there’s a “reset default” button, that would ease my worries as well.
