Customizing your boot video that shows up when you turn the Steam Deck is one of the most entertaining things of it outside of gaming. What are your favorites?

Currently using the portal turrents

Same. Probably the only one I really wanted

[–] Anahkiasen@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Using the Saturn one, I just find the animation of the ball so satisfying

[–] gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't bother setting one up yet. Saving this for ideas.

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is where I'd set a custom boot video for my Steam Deck...IF I HAD ONE.

It's on order. I can't wait.

[–] RandomVanGloboii@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

Did it arrive?

[–] mistermonday@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have the love, death, and robots themed one. Looks super clean

[–] Fubarberry@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it looks fantastic. If I had to choose just one boot animation to use instead of a rotation I'd probably stick with that one.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That reminds me I really need to get around to watching more of that show

[–] GiuEliNo@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago

Still using the default one. Some of them are really beautiful tho

[–] Ech@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I plopped a bunch that I liked in there and have the shuffle option enabled. There's just too many to choose a favorite!

[–] HERRAX@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Using the custom pip-boy one, it's the only one I've ever tried!

I got rid of the custom ones as I still got crashes, even after disabling the 2 options - shuffle/wake movie.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

After cycling through a few I've went back to the default.

Minimal Glitch Zero 3D from the Animation Changer add-on for Decky. It's quick and looks cool. I had one that mimicked a 90s desktop boot sequence but I found I was skipping it 90% of the time since it was like 30 seconds long. Plus I think I just got over the idea of novelty boot animations.

[–] FullOfBallooons@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm using Parimak's PS2-inspired one.

[–] LlamaSutra@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Valve Gabecube

[–] Fubarberry@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I've got about 30 on shuffle. Love Death & Robots us probably the best non-joke one.

The windows XP one is my favorite joke one.

[–] RandomVanGloboii@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

As for myself, I'm using the Matrix one, the Neo-geo one, the Game boy one, one of the videos with the turrets (not the official one, just their red light and "Helloooo" played), one that replaces the Steam logo with Aperture's and plays its jingle, the one about history of handheld devices and one based on the PS1 boot screen. (You can play a random one each time)

[–] nicman24@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

the default one but i am considering a hf1 valve bald dude if i can find it.

The Dreamcast one!
