Steam Deck user makes horrible mistake after setting Shrek as boot up video

A Redditor made the entire original Shrek movie their boot-up video on their Steam Deck in one of the most hilarious blunders in recent memory.

Shrek is one of the most beloved and iconic animated movies of all time. While it has grown a huge amount of fans, one person, in particular, may have taken their love of the movie a little bit too far.

Stephens, seemingly accidentally, made theirs the entirety of the first Shrek movie.

“Help!! I’ve set my boot video to Shrek and now I can’t use my Steam Deck until it’s over!”
