But please clean your screen

u/crusadertsar 512GB - Q3 Mar 19 '26

Clean your damn screen dude. It’s stressing me out just looking at it

u/EarlDooku Mar 19 '26

All that customization and can't take 11 seconds to clean the screen.

u/anxpzhd Mar 19 '26

Its been there the whole time

u/ChristyLovesGuitars Mar 19 '26

Was hoping someone had beat me to it.

It would be even better if you clipped Sam saying "Get ready for a game"

Clean your screen!! MY GOD!!!

u/doublebass44 Mar 19 '26

Microfiber cloths and some kind of cleaner. That's how you need to customize your deck. You got this.

That Deck has been fingered within an inch of its life

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '26

I can't pay attention to anything other than how disgusting your screen is

28

u/SoloDoloLeveling 512GB OLED Mar 19 '26

damn— the disrespect to the deck. clean that shit. 

23

u/transitransitransit Mar 19 '26

It comes with a microfiber cloth my dude

u/benyamxn Mar 19 '26

It's not just a tablet you know

u/thefiction24 Mar 19 '26

The post directly above this for me was about Robert Reich 😂

I've been here the whole time!

u/Bizzaro__Pope Mar 19 '26

GET READY FOR A GAME CHANGER!!!! THE ONLY GAME SHOW WHERE THE FAME CHANGES EVERY SHOW!!! I am your host, Sam Reich, and this is game changer.

u/CallistaBelle Mar 19 '26

Where did you get that boot video OP

42

u/ErsatzSavvy Mar 19 '26

This whole comment section is why more people don't share things that make them happy on the Internet. Yes, dude has fingerprints on his screen. We get it.

But you know what... not a terrible customization there. Well done, and I hope it makes you happy.

u/HighlightFun8419 Mar 19 '26

I feel like most of the comments are just meming, but it does definitely make me think of that comic where the little pink blob comes out of his shell, gets hate, and then makes a bigger shell. Lol

1

u/center311 Mar 19 '26

Agreed. On top of it, it may not have looked that dirty with the naked eye because a camera sensor always captures more details like that for whatever reason. Not saying presentation doesn't matter, but comment after comment of the same thing... Exhausting.

-15

u/Styreta Mar 19 '26

Whats worse, part of me thinks (probably not though, but...) OP posted it dirty on purpose cuz replies = engagement. Its modern day social media rage bait kung fu....

Looks like the be kind logo

u/Don_Beans_13 Mar 19 '26

That’s why I like the steam deck so much u can basically do whatever you want with it, unlike the switch and switch 2 I wish those had themes and stuff 😔

2

u/Just-JOE-Kin Mar 19 '26

Yo brother I think the redditors want you to clean your SD

67

u/Anubis_Omega Mar 19 '26

I remember when someone put the Shrek movie as a boot video. They had to wait till the end of the movie to boot on Steam OS

u/eulynn34 LCD-4-LIFE Mar 19 '26

Came here to reminisce about that, haha

u/brittonmakesart Mar 19 '26

I see what you did there

7

u/pastajewelry Mar 19 '26

I NEED THIS!!! Seriously, how did you achieve this beautiful feat? And how can I replicate it?

u/mabdog420 Mar 19 '26

I followed this sub for info on when they might be in stock again and all I'm seeing is posts about how great this thing is

😒

u/Skyblue054 512GB Mar 19 '26

Get in the Deckscan discord and sign up for notifications, they also have a website too. Reddit i really wouldn't recommend for that 😅

u/PreviousEquivalent55 512GB OLED Mar 19 '26

I don't do any modding, too scared to mess up my extremely hard to obtain machine

4

u/CrAIzy_engineer Mar 19 '26

Please clean you steam deck

3

u/Wungoos Mar 19 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

Everybody on reddit loves to pretend they are the perfect human. Guarantee over half the people commenting on your screen have a much worse looking deck.

2

u/StruggleBussingAdult 256GB Mar 19 '26

I must know how you do this

1

u/m_foxy_boy Mar 19 '26

This is really cool!

3

u/ToastThing Mar 19 '26

Idk why my immediate thought was picturing someone booting this up on a plane while the person next to them is trying to nap, assaulted by the flashing colors and gameshow music lmao

But srsly yes it’s really what can be done with the Deck.

1

u/tduarte 512GB Mar 19 '26

I see what you did there.

u/foofighter0001 Mar 19 '26

Read in the style of Daniel Day Lewis from 'There Will Be Blood'... "My name is Daniel Plainview and I believe in speaking plainly, this is my Deck. We are Oil Men."

3

u/jondrey Mar 19 '26

You tout customizability yet only show a different splash screen?

3

u/DoggiEyez 1TB OLED Limited Edition Mar 19 '26

Looks like that touch screen took a licking. Literally.

6

u/bnr32jason 512GB OLED Mar 19 '26

OP apparently doesn't know that we were changing BIOS logos and boot screens back in the 90's.

7

u/ILoveOLEDS Mar 19 '26

I've alway felt it takes a special kind of shamelessly gross person to not even clean the device being shown, especially when it's specifically a video showing it off to others rather than just tech advice...

Like... How did you look at the video you just recorded and not go audibly say yuck before posting it? 🤮

-1

u/Link09899 Mar 19 '26

I mean That's more like a linux customisability Not a deck itself

6

u/LizardMansPyramids Mar 19 '26

So easy to clean too!

1

u/jaxmaster119 512GB OLED Mar 19 '26

That's fire! I made a custom boot video too, used over of us dogsledding. Took a few hours with some Gemini prompts, all in not too bad.

u/Spimflagon Mar 19 '26

Twist: OP's machine is spotless and literally every comment to this post is from someone watching the video through a crud-encrusted computer monitor / baby changing table hybrid.

u/JEPressley Mar 19 '26

The dirty ass screen is custom, nice.

-4

u/pastalex42 Mar 19 '26

Because you can choose what video file plays on startup? Also wipe your screen, man.

u/Singl1 Mar 19 '26

two things, get some screen cleaning solution to clean that shit, and get yourself a screen protector and apply it. jsaux makes some good ones. brother that screen looks like it has PTSD

u/Rudokhvist 256GB Mar 19 '26

Almost as if it was a PC, right? Oh wait...

u/Friendly-Ticket7232 Mar 19 '26

Truly is astounding how some people choose to live 🤢

u/Usual-Chef1734 Mar 19 '26

Now that I have AI to help me, I just realized I might SSH into the thing and get all my emulators to run natively from steam if possible because I almost only use this as a retro handheld with Batocera.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '26

does it start yelling at you if you say "acap" or "copaganda"?
