Cool but isn’t it pretty customizable for free with a little bit of work?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago

Sure, but the points don't buy anything real, so might as well use them if you like one.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Yup! This is just if you don't want to spend the effort / have nothing else to spend your points on.

It's still cool to have more official options, and all of these are pretty high quality.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It is.

For me, personally, I would rather pick them up from the points store because of the lower friction to get them loaded on the Deck.

If you weren't aware, Decky Loader is a pretty great Steam Deck plugin loader that's easy to install and has a store interface where you can easily download and install new plugins. Of course, it includes a plugin for easily changing the start up animation.

I think I would too if the selection was more robust. I have all those points I’m not using.
