Is that frickin' TempleOS?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 29 points 1 month ago

The one true deck!

[–] MystValkyrie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just the regular black, which is the color of my soul.

dbrand killswitch with the xray skin. It came with two skins.

[–] FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Mine looks like this too.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Stock cuz I just use the damn thing

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But have you considered installing a different OS every day and posting about which one you're going to install next?

Nah but mine is the rare white limited edition one so uhh it’s sorta different

Pretty basic all things considered, I'm hoping to get new sticks for it once the stock ones go bad

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

When do the stock ones go bad? I've got 500+ hours of playtime on mine and they still feel like new.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago

Omg! I never thought about a joystick cap! I tend to be rough with my sticks cause I'm huge and strong and play "rage" games. My center rubber on the left just feel out a little bit ago and a call would be perfect! Thanks dude!

[–] genes215@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Mine was basic, but well loved and sadly lost to a disaster 😒 RIP my deck. Go give your steamdecks a little attention!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How did you change that screen?

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not OP, but presumably they used a Decky Plugin called CSS Loader. You can use it to costumize the layout.

Cool.

I’ll have to give it a try.

That’s really clean.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Decky Plugins, I’d wager.

[–] zybir@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I like that black and white contrast.

I have a stand for mine so that I don't have to lean it against my cock.

[–] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Ooh might have to invest in that, any reccs?

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago

Mine looks exactly like it did when it came out of the box. Technically I've added a screen protector/diffusor, as I hate glare on screens, but you can't really tell it's even there. I also swapped the nvme to a buffet one, but obviously that isn't visible either.

Needless to say, I don't care about the looks of my financial things.

[–] natecox@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Holy shit I need that pink skin (stop it). Where can I get it?

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If i remember correctly its Dbrand

[–] natecox@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I messaged the person who sold me the steamdeck and they said they got the skin on Etsy.

Nice color. And nice joystick protectors.

[–] Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Does the pressure thing work with them installed?

[–] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Generally, no, because it's a capacitive sensor and most plastics don't conduct electricity. You'd need to find a pair that says it supports the sensors. Mine don't, for instance, but I never used that feature anyway.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

I can't speak for OP, but I have third-party joystick caps on my Steamdeck and the touch sensors still work fine.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Vanilla. I am going to make it pink some day.

Custom pink translucent buttons, a purple Savage Raven case, and dbrand thumb grips.

OOOOOH LOVE THEM BUTTONS

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Steam Deck is bone stock, unless you look inside and I replaced the hard drive with a higher capacity one.

[–] Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Same. What size ssd did you put?

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

2tb, I got it months before the RAMpocalypse.

Mine is the stock unit, in a purple snap-on protective case, but the back of the unit (underneath the protective case) has my username permanently etched into the back and the etching filled with enamel paint, just in case I lose it or have to prove it's mine.

This stems from when some jerk tried to steal my childhood Game Boy, but was foiled by the fact that I'd written my name on the unit behind the batteries and thereby proved "their" Game Boy was mine.

The default

[–] nuclear_wizard@startrek.website 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Please excuse the dirty screen! Atomic Purple case with holographic buttons from deckbuttons.com and accent skins from dbrand. I also usually have the Killswitch case on, but this was taken just after I had completed all the surgery to replace the shell.

atomic Purple deck

Ahh atomic purple. My one true love.

[–] mursejoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

My wife would love this one!

My setup is just the OLED with the Satisfye grip case. Peak simplicity for my little emudeck.

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Mine has a transparent purple shell swap (I kept the original buttons), and a decksight screen upgrade.
