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

Sure, but the points don't buy anything real, so might as well use them if you like one.
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.
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.
Thanks, bot.
Sorry, are you calling me a bot?
Or am I misunderstanding something?
Good bot.
Beep boop
I’ve bought every single one of the older ones and have them set to play a random one every time I boot up or wake from sleep. This is welcome news to me. :D
Is it true that they are variable length and slow down the boot / wake time?
You can skip any of them just by pressing a button
The steam points shop is great
I have literally never used these points shop. What does it even have in it?
Nothing particularly good, some stuff for your steam profile. I've only used the points on the startup movies and some keyboards
yeah that's kinda what I always figured
Profile themes, pfps, emotes, steam deck startups, among various other things. I wish you could use steam points for booster packs though.
I like the frames and mini profile themes for the friends panel. Gives my profile picture some movement and let's me change it up for the themes throughout the year.
Cool, I'll probably get Hades! I guess I'm not alone having more points than I can spend after buying the Steam Deck
They're nice and all, but City Night's still the best ;_;
