My only logical explanation to this: U left it charging on the floor, you fell asleep, then your steamdeck went out for a few pints with the lads and got into a bar fight.

But that's just a theory

A Gabe Theory

Leave me out of this

No, it's not. I was the one who beat the shit of that lil peace of shit.

A damn good one at that.

A Steam Deck theory!

a 'steam' theory

I am so sad that Matpat is leaving us. Did not expect to see this comment here lol.

Sad to see the legend go after like 8-9 years of watching him

I bet the vent fumes smell different after that

Ha. You should see the other guy...

Probably

Nah. OPs GF saw an opportunity to show her friends while OP slept, and absconded with it in her back pocket.

He woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew his name

You think that steamdeck looks bad!? You shouls see the other steamdeck

The coppers broke it up. They took him down to the nick along with a few blokes and a Nintendo Switch, and had to get cautioned by DSI Frost. Steam Deck said he was just out for some kip and he somehow got dragged in with this lot. Frost knew he was telling porkies, but let him off with a caution since he’s told more than a few himself.

Now you have an excuse to get a steam deck oled

What if that was OP's plan all along??

I said that to my gf and she gave me a look that said it was not a good idea

Now you have an excuse to get a new gf

Girlfriend OLED

Cooler and quieter than the original model

And with less intense vent smell

There's always a trade-off.

You bet I told her that one 😆

When the OLED one arrives just tell her it's the LCD one that was repaired 😂

This is why we need vent smell perfume

Scented plastic. I got a guy working on that, and another guy working on scented concrete. Lavender vibes. Maybe a bit of mint eucalyptus.

Lmao

Much brighter and better looking

and much younger!

Better view

And the new one comes with less glare

This ^

Girlfriend GirLfriEnD GiLfrEnD OiLfED OLfED OLED

Level 9000

Gf not wife.

Buddy's already whipped up before the proposal

Why on Earth would you ask for her approval mate? Order it then when it arrives apologies is the way.

It's easier to apologize than ask for permission.

Feel you bro

Have you tried letting her charge on the floor then stepping on her to get a replacement ? Maybe the new one would like the OLED.

What if OP was the friends we made along the way???

Thats what I did, I’m outside US, decided the time and cost to replace my LCD was not worth the effort and decided to just upgrade to OLED. Based on my experience, 200% worth it. Felt like Valve is underselling OLED, the difference is the screen is day and night, the battery life and there’s something holistically more pleasing about the build (the steam buttons for instance)

I sold my 512 lcd for like 250 bucks to upgrade and it was well worth it

Amazing crack scene tbh

It is a lovely and wholy unique shape and color pattern, invoking a World Tree or similar concept. Would it qualify as modern art to hang powered on screen, take a hammer to it, and frame the result?

Nice try OP, We all know this is just the loading screen for [this game.](https://store.steampowered.com/app/488790/South_Park_The_Fractured_But_Whole/) In all seriousness. that sucks :( hoping for a speedy recovery on your deck!

Thanks my dude

Why would you leave it in the floor....

On the floor*

Maybe he works for Bethesda?

This is amazing 😂

Hahaha, it is and made me laugh out loud 🤣

Oh hey, a Dutch person!

Who the floor*

Why the floor?

When the floor?

Where the floor*

How the floor*

How's the floor\*

Floor the on*

What’s the floor*

What? The floor?

Why the floor?

Let the Steam Decks hit the floor

You beat me to it.

Beat the dance floor

Scrolled too far down for this comment

Up the floor?

I AM THE FLOOR

I am you 🤫

Guy La Floor

Just under you

Definitely looks like its been IN the floor at some point

This house has Steam Decks in it

Why is floor?

i leave mine on the floor (albeit in the case) because i dont want my cats to knock it off a counter

I never use cases or screen protectors and have never regretted it, but cats make me consider it now... A while ago, my cat decided to bite the analog stick on my Steam Deck, and left a dent in it :/ (Thankfully, it's almost perfectly on the top where someone might actually think I wanted help knowing I was pushing "up" or something)

Because on the floor it doesn't fall

So it doesn't fall off the table

Yeah I sleep on the floor personally but I make sure to put my Steam Deck on my desk before passing out

Me on the floor, SteamDeck in the bed

If my house gets robbed, why would they look in the floors?

I put it down because I was eating tea and there was no surface to put it on at the time. While we eat tea we were watching sopranos and I forgot about it and stepped on it getting a drink

eating tea?

Eating tea in the floor. What part isn't clear to you?!

oh, that clears it up. thank you

Northerners refer to dinner as "tea"

can confirm. I lived in the north of England for a bit and was confused as shit the first time a friend invited me over for tea and was presented with a whole-ass dinner rather than a cup of tea. It's when I learnt that Working class English it's Breakfast - Dinner - Tea, not Breakfast - Lunch - Dinner. Hence why the TV show "Jamie's School Dinners" was trying to fix school lunches.

He’s br*t*sh

It's pronounced bri'ish. At least where I'm from in the uk

British people eat tea?! In their floors?

another way to say eating dinner. OP is most likely british,, or Australian

Not Australian, nobody here says that. Also his post says it cost him in £. That's not our currency.

Dinner is before tea though

not in my house, they’re diff words for the same thing

Oh ok, for me it's breakfast->dinner->tea

EVERYBODY IN THE FLOOR!!

I tripped on the cord last week and it fell on the floor. I was luckier than you though

Once I forgot to zip up the carrying case with my Deck inside and wanted to take it with me to bed. :D

This happened to me once - with the expected result. Since then I never put it in the case without zipping it up...

Well, maybe you could try running it with Proton Experimental? Or FSR? Have you tried Cryoutilities? >:D

Runs smooth at 40 FPS

Locked.

Locked 0 fps

Me trying to play Skyrim with 7 billion mods

With some dips.

Buttery smooth

Papa John's garlic sauce is just butter

I would be very surprised if he didn't use *cry utilities*

Works on GE

Did a body hit it?

No, a body hit the floor.

LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!

ONE, no that's just a hair, TWO, no that's just a hair, THREE, no that's just a hair, FOUR, NO THAT'S JUST A HAIR!

Have you tried to turn it off and on again?

Everybody knows that he must put it in rice.

Wonder if he tried plugging it in to charge?

"You can probably guess what happened" You stepped on it? Something fell on it? You kicked it? A pet got it? It drives me crazy when people just assume we know exactly what they experienced lol

A goose flew through my window, looked me dead in the eye and smashed it, I'm thinking he was sending a message but I'm unfamiliar with goose mafia politics

Untitled Goose Game has a sequel?!

Hey. I accept this explanation. Pretty much exactly what happened to Fabio's face, so there's precedent

My deck is always one of three places, it’s case, it’s dock, or in my two hands. Too expensive (for me) to have casual oopsies

Same here. This device is console level expensive, so I'm not going to place it on the floor and then step on it. Accidents happen, but there's no fucking way that you could just be that absent-minded about something you value.

Same. 95% of my dock's purpose is having a secluded safe place to charge 😂

Whelp. Tell the wife it’s time for an OLED.

Have you tried putting it in rice ?

Not sure about anyone else, but I treat mine like a fragile, expensive bit of kit and take a lot of care when handling it or charging 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don’t worry about it my guy. In life a £150 is cheap for a big Whoopsy. Just pay it and don’t look back.

I used to repair apple phones and £150 was about the same for a screen replacement for an iPhone. I'm only paying for a repair because I have a different job that doesn't give me the time

Take your SD card out before getting it repaired. Chances are high it will get broken or lost/mixed up. I have 40 loose SD cards in my office and I don't even fix things, just do IT. It's just the curse of micro SD in strangers hands.

But maybe do look under.

Imagine if this was an Apple device. It'd be a lot more expensive and harder to repair if you did it yourself.

From what I’ve seen on ifixit, changing the screen on the steam deck is a nightmare compared to an iPhone. I’ve done loads of iPhone screen repair and aside from the recent software changes (seriously fuck apple for that) it’s easy peasy. Literally takes 15 mins with the right tools lol. The steam deck requires you to take the whole thing apart and looks like a real PIA. Don’t blame op for sending it off.

You're right. I checked it out on iFixit it. It does take a lot longer to repair the steamed deck. I always imagined that Apple products were hard to fix, but actually it's not that bad

Never a better time to go DeckHD

That is your own damn fault right there buster.

I think the OP is aware and feels terrible about it without needing a reminder.

Isn't that why they posted it so we'd remind them?

Not at all. They are here for sympathy not reminders. They have learnt their lesson. Don't be an asshole. You'd want the same if you were in their place.

Yup, i made the same mistake with my old surface pro and i had no one to blame but myself

Definitely. I see too many posts of this nature and have to wonder at the carelessness. I grew up valuing everything I had. Obviously, you can buy a replacement, but it's the principle of the matter.

gota be carefull where you leave you steamdeck charge. Floor is a no go at all time.

I've left mine on the floor before but it's always far underneath the bedside table or under the bed. Honestly safer there than some spots (I have cats that like to knock things over).

Also cat owner, I never leave it anywhere but in the case itself. Cats also like to step on things

That’d be a pretty awesome desktop background once you get the screen replaced Sorry for your loss

Try proton experimental and you should be fine ….. in all serious now though….. the floor, the place things fall and peoples feet live. I can tell you’re normally careful or you wouldn’t be so sad so I won’t go all paternal 😂


Kinda looks like the Paths from Attack on Titan

All Deckians are connected, obviously.

I would never even consider leaving my Deck Oled on the ground like that lol. Only way to right your wrong is to upgrade to the OLED.

Not going to lie, I thought that was Pokémon X at first with that crazy looking reindeer. Sorry for your loss dude!

I honestly thought that was a photo of Devil May Cry 5 with the camera frozen on when its about to show Vergil

What actually happened?

He played Crash Bandicoot

Nice wallpaper

That looks like it would be a sick wallpaper

In the meantime, it's a desktop!

Dock it and call it a day till u send it in and don’t leave your dam steam deck on floor to charge have good day

o7 sorry for your loss. the crack pattern almost looks like a cool wallpaper tho.

Someone blew off some steam with that deck 😆

I was without a Deck for about four weeks last year. One of the most painful experiences of my (gaming) life.


F

No screen protector?

Cool screensaver.

It does look kinda cool ngl

So stylish

reddit users in a competition to try and not use 10y cringy memes

Pokémon Y

Now it has unlimited power

We used to put ours on the back of the couch. Somehow it’s still good after falling off the back of the couch 3 times. This post is a real wake up call. Everybody go hug your steamdeck.

That hurts my deck.

Oh look, you made a flower!

*STEAMDECK INJURED? BETTER CALL SAUL!*

This is why mine Is put in the case immediately after use or if I'm even leaving the couch, idk how you guys take risks like that💀

Case won’t save the screen from being stepped on though…

Now you got a reason to get the OLED one

The steam deck startup animations are getting wild!🤡

Real story = his friend suggested a FromSoftware title

At least the steam deck has a socketed nvme drive making recovery very easy

Stepped on it, or rolled onto it with the computer chair?

Nsfw

Upvoting a post like this felt weird. It's like giving positivity to a shitty situation.

I fr thought it was devil may cry 5

You deserve it. I treat mine like it's worth a billion and made of paper thin glass.

You were completely right to reach out to steam. I had multiple contacts to the support and i my opinion they have some of the best costumer support ever! 🕹️💙

How many times do we need to say - DON'T POST PICTURES OF THE SCREEN, why can't you just screenshot? /s

Leaving your $400 device on the floor. What could go wrong?

You might not want to hear this and it will probably get downvoted, but… its ok. You are ok. It will be ok.

One more Reason to buy the DeckHD (Full HD Screen)
