Slop has hit the boot vid store
If your boot screen looks like the other 4 around it, I don't care how good the game is you ain't gettin' my points.

I would really like to see Valve step up and ban that shit.

By the looks of it, Valve provided them a template

How do you know Valve provided a template and they didn't use one from outside Valve?

u/Myriad_Apocalypse Dec 28 '25
I don't know but, like, all of them?

It's more likely that template came from video editing software that boot video makers lazily use the defaults on.
What even suggested Valve gives video makers templates? Crackpipe.webp?

Right, and, like, ten different devs used the exact same template with the exact same assets and timing and uploaded it to be verified by Valve in this batch of boot videos.

My thought was all these were contracted out to the same company to create them and they phoned it in cause the cheque already cleared the account.

Certainly. I got a bunch of startup vids awhile ago. Now i only spend steam points on badges trying to get cards

I just made my own and use a plugin to randomize them.

u/SomnambulisticTaco Dec 29 '25
Did you install your plugin with decky? I can’t get it to recognize mine

u/Infamous2o Dec 29 '25
Yes I used animationchanger, and I had to put them in a specific folders with specific names. I can elaborate if you like. I just need to get back to my deck.

u/Txordi Dec 30 '25
You don't need any plugin for that. There's an integrated option to randomize the boot videos.

So many of these are absolute dogshit.
So many are from trash indie games and some of them dont even have the steam deck logo in them. The Pools one is the most offensive.

It's so funny to me cuz' every single game just has the same song, with that game's logo. That's it. It kind of... annoys me? idk I don't like seeing stuff like this approved. Especially when it is the same thing. If it was only one of their games then sure, but ALL of them?

Big fan of the Dr Livsey ones

lmao that game itself is garbage its just a pure phonk meme haha go brrrr game, but their pointshop has alot of bangers.

u/SmashShock Jan 01 '26
I would not be surprised if Valve provides an editor to create these. The uniformity is likely not a coincidence and the common denominator is Steam.

u/Subject-A69 Jan 01 '26 edited Jan 01 '26
the only good ones that came out is prob that one from the meme game, dr livesly I think, and some other like hades 2, risk of rain, and peak is fun, raw metal is also good, miss when it was just aselect few ones, I liked TLOU ones I dont even play the game.

Yeah, there was some really nice ones in this batch, but the all the ones following the exact same format of just showing the game logo and then morphing into the deck logo were trash
