What happens when you change the boot sequence of your Steam Deck? A user apparently wanted to try this and is now panicking for help. Because he can’t get out of his new video. The community is amused by the mistake.
The Steam Deck is a gaming handheld that allows you to play almost all your games from Steam. However, there are some differences between the Steam Deck and, for example, the Switch.
However, all devices have one thing in common, and that is the boot sequence. This is a short video where you can normally see the manufacturer’s logo or symbols. Only after that you can start gaming.
A user apparently found this intro on his Steam Deck uninteresting and wanted to replace it with a new sequence. But that went quite wrong, and the community is having fun with the mistake.
Steam Deck shows green ogre – The community is amused
What exactly happened? The thread on reddit has the fitting name: “Help!!! I set my boot video to Shrek and now I can’t use my Steam Deck until it’s over!”
In a comment on reddit, the user explains that he wanted to extend the boot sequence. He seemed to have looked for a guide, but his experiment had failed.
I followed a guide to extend the maximum duration of the boot video. I wanted to try Shrek, but I thought it wouldn’t work. Now I’m stuck on Shrek.
How does the community react? They are quite excited and are having fun with the user’s mistake. Many laugh at this foolishness and explain that it is not really a mistake if he can only see Shrek now. As one writes on reddit.com: “I don’t understand why this is a problem.”
Others ask why he chose Shrek and not a (much longer) video sequence from The Lord of the Rings.
Is there any help available? Yes, a few users are actually trying to help the klutz and give him some tips. He should, as soon as the video is running, switch to the command line and stop or change the video there. There is a simple key combination for that under Linux. Because the Steam Deck runs on Linux and not Windows.
What do you think of the failed experiment? Do you find it funny as well, or would you also make such a mistake? Let us know in the comments!
