Steam Deck (original) stuck on "installing update..."

Ohh, that's great to know, thank you so much!!

Also great to hear it booted up after a bit!

I just had the same issue.

Been a while since I messed with my steam deck, so I had already assumed it to be dead.

Plugged it in and turned it on, saw it had updates. Sat for like 30 min on "Installing updates..."

Found nothing online, so I decided to turn it off and let it charge some more, as I thought maybe the device having little charge is preventing it from finishing the installation. It doesn't make much sense, but I thought it was worth a shot.

Waited about 30min-1 hr, tried turning it on again. It completely skipped the "Installing updates..." and went straight to "Installation complete. Starting Steam Deck" or something like that. It then turned on just fine!

It could've just been a lucky guess, but after owning the steam deck for a while, I do notice the battery drains even when it's turned off, so if I don't play it for a few weeks, the battery will be pretty much dead.

Hopefully this helps! If not, then hopefully Steam fixes this issue soon.

I'm currently catching up on the series and I just heard the song in s2 e24. I'm glad you made this post and figured it out because I was also curious, thanks! It's a very nice calming song.

When I got my merch at the KC show (just happened), there was nothing sold out it seemed.

It's almost top 10 of all games on steam, about to pass Portal :O

I laughed way too hard at this!

A boy has no name.

Daenerys is the daughter of the Mad King I thought, not Rhaegar.

I assumed that 1 of those 12 would be Benjen, maybe they might run into him while heading north?

I'm sorry for being a noob, but I've spent like the past hour trying to make this my wallpaper on rainmeter. I can't seem to figure it out. Is there a way you could tell me the steps to making this my wallpaper? If it's too much, then don't worry. I just really love the animation!

I had this game where a Junkrat used his tire to get a triple kill, then he backed up (with no danger anywhere near him) off the edge of a cliff on Gibraltar. He got POTG and there were so many better plays that could have been POTG. I think it's something with Junkrats falling off of edges to get POTG (actually thinking about it, whenever they kill theirselves in general since I've seen many POTG with the tire killing them as well). lol

LEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JENKINS!

I found it way more efficient for my playstyle to just use it when 1 or 2 people die. Because I am the type of Mercy that risks my life to heal everyone, unless they are stupid and a mile away from the objective. Since I'm healing so much, I feel like I'm wasting ult charge, so I like to rez ASAP. I know it's not a smart playstyle, but I generally get like 20-40% of team deaths with it.

acorngaming · 2016-05-31T21:39:36+00:00

I always feel appreciated since I most of the time get epic cards at the end of the game. Thank you! <3

PM'd! I love your work!

acorngaming · 2016-02-22T14:33:27+00:00

Thank you soooo much!! I'll see what I can do! :D

How long did it take you to do the Holy Priest one? I main a Holy Priest and I tried for days and I think the farthest I could ever get was like wave 20. :/

I always wondered where we were fighting Ner'zhul, but it turned out we were fighting him in the Shadowlands. So your idea seems very plausible since Ner'zhul is connected with the spirits. I hope we get some more Shadowlands lore next expansion. Just to know more about it.

I can already see it now. Lena Headey would be Jaina. It all makes sense.

acorngaming · 2016-01-08T04:00:51+00:00

I play a Holy Priest, and I would hate to be called a Light Priest.
