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

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Winged_Hussar 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.

The steam points shop is great

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

[–] shrodes 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it true that they are variable length and slow down the boot / wake time?

[–] damopewpew 5 points 1 year ago

You can skip any of them just by pressing a button

Sorry, are you calling me a bot?

Or am I misunderstanding something?

I have literally never used these points shop. What does it even have in it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Profile themes, pfps, emotes, steam deck startups, among various other things. I wish you could use steam points for booster packs though.

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 ;_;
