Theres that guy who made the entire shrek movie as his steam deck start up movie. Back before you could skip the steam deck start up movie.

Jesus christ... Why would you do this to yourself? Please tell me you can skip that boot video at least lmfao

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

If I remember, you couldn't skip in the start. Remember seeing a patch note about how you are allowed to skip it now, but its hard to find.

This one is easy because it used to be top of all time

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah they updated the steam deck after that post that would allow skipping the startup animation

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 10 points 1 month ago

At least it has volume and everything. Imagine if it really was a GIF without sound. A bit harder to enjoy.

That must be a massive and ugly file.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Oh, just 20 GB, give or take.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Is that an actual gif or one of those audio-less videos that many gif services have taken to using lately, due to their higher quality and smaller file sizes? (RIP gfycat)

I downloaded it many years ago when it was published (I can't find it now). It is an actual gif but it's very low res (and obviously it's 256 colours) and very large, some players will fail to load it, and you can give up on web players

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

You can find it here (reddit tho)

According to the OP there, it is an actual gif.

Oh, and it should be pronounced as /gi eɪ̯ ɛf/, as it's an abbreviation of Graphical Interface Frame or something.

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 7 points 1 month ago

I downloaded it. It's a 39 MB real GIF, 60 by 60 pixels at 10 fps. When I open it in MPV it's pretty much exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes long, and I can skip around to different parts including to the end credits. Looks legit to me.

Little proof vid (ironically 1/7th the size of the GIF).

/gi eɪ̯ ɛf/

What is this abomination? /gi/‽

The parent comment would be pronounced "ghee A eff". /g/ is the hard g of "gift", not the soft g of "gin" (which is /dʒ/). (second word pronounced like "hey" or "say" without their first letters, or "eight" without its last.)

Looks like they have surpassed us a long time ago.*

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That’s why we surpassed them. Also, referring to us as “people” rather than individuals of their own species is perversely anthropocentric for an advanced society that presumably developed before ours.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 1 points 1 month ago

...because of grammar corrections?

...my comment was a correction to OP's grammar, note the italics and asterisk

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Depends, are you guys selfish assholes, too?
