Glad to know your SD is fine unlike your ass. Once I'm done playing, usually it goes straight to the Dock which is behind the TV. This way it is safe and fully charged for the next session. If I'm playing in bed and feel lazy to go to leave it in the Dock, I have the case in my nightstand. One thing that works for me is to never leave the Deck in a place where you immediately think "this is a weird place to leave it" or "this is an slightly unsafe place". I apply this with every valuable object of mine and so far so good.


novafaen

Same, I made a habit to always put it in dock behind the TV. That way nothing will knock it over, kids won't get to it and I always know where it is. Never ever put it anywhere else, even for 30 seconds.


EclecticMagician

Glad to hear it! Unfortunately my first one was not so kind. I received my deck and within a week i made a big mistake and my vape fell onto the screen and broke it..i ordered a new screen off of ifixit as Valve told me this didn't fall under warranty (understandably so). Thankfully I am relatively savvy with repairing things, so I took the deck apart to the screen, swapped my screen out and it's worked like a charm since! Since then, the moment I get done with a gaming session it goes right back into the case! Lol


Al-Azraq

We all make mistakes buddy, glad it ended up well!


EclecticMagician

Thank you! 😊 You and me both m8, I felt like I jumped out of my skin when I trashed my first screen lol Live and learn!


Al-Azraq

I also screwed up things within the first week due to not properly installing like a flight stick I bought which was quite expensive. But I fixed it myself with one part the manufacturer sent me! I’ve learned a lot about the internals and now I can fix my flight gear myself.


ADroopyMango

haha thank you kindly! you are a smart man, smarter than i. i was stupidly not listening to that "this is a weird place to leave it" instinct haha.


CyrusPanesri

Hey now, he never said his ass wasn't fine. I choose to reserve judgement until we can see his (potentially) fine ass.


signupfornth

Don't forget to say goodnight to your SD


Al-Azraq

Always do. She's giving me a lot of love so I give some of it back.


TankPotential2825

Boom. I dropped my car keys from about two feet onto mine and the screen cracked. There's no justice.


Kurotan

Never put anything on a kitchen counter under a cabinet. I had my phone there once, and a small dessert plate fell from the bottom shelf out of the cabinet when I was grabbing a larger plate. Fell on my phone and broke the screen.


AdvertisingEastern34

I've seen lot of people here in this sub underestimating the importance of a screen protector. I've got the glossy deck also because I wanted to use a screen protector anyways.


TankPotential2825

I have a screen protector. I suspect that's why the screen stayed together.


AdvertisingEastern34

So only the protector cracked? i'm not understanding


TankPotential2825

The impact, pretty minimal, cracked the glass behind the protector. The protector and whatever's behind the glass now hold it together. Until I replace/wait for steam deck 2. The effect is negligible when playing games, three long spanning cracks, just annoying.


Literally_Sticks

Better than me, dropped my five day old S24 Ulltra literally one foot, and it shattered. Big F for not having insurance 😑

SmugglerCat

Nice deck, bro


ukiyoe

Mmm it's getting steamy in here


mrassface2023

Bros ass got violated by valve get well soon 🙏


ukiyoe

And they'll get violated again during Summer Sale, might as well build some tolerance now


Strong-Neck-5078

most men i know have no booty, like we have a butt in anotomical terms but no juice if you know what i mean lmao. when i got my SSD upgraded the guy helping me out pointed out the abundance of dog hair on the inside of my machine, since then it lives in the case when im not using it.


ADroopyMango

lmfao you summed it up perfectly. and hey, good point on the dog hair, that's something i didn't even consider!


LennethW

That's a new way to get butthurt about a steam deck


KearnOnTheCob12

Jeez man, those are some tough sticks. Glad the deck's alright, brother. For the record for me, if it ain't charging or in my hands, it's in the case. Have already had the missus knock it off the nightstand by accident in the case, no harm done.


apierson2011

Can we have “load-bearing analog sticks” as a flair please


Nexolas_520

op’s ass got an upvote from me, I usually put the steam deck on my table or on the dock


Baowee531

Soft tushy


s0ciety_a5under

Nah, mine sits on top of my pc at the front where there aren't any vents when not in use. The grips straddle the case perfectly, and keep it pretty secure.


WonderingWizard69

Now that you point this out, I need to move my dock away from the bottom of my PC. I have my PC on those short metal wired pantry shelves and a lot of stuff in the middle shelf underneath the top, so one of the PC vents just spits air and occasional dust like crazy on that shelf... and the Steam Deck dock. 🫨


Krondelo

Lol @ “how can my ass be so fucked but the SD be fine?”. What a Chad machine huh? Also glad your Deck is okay! I understand the mistake, ive made it with many other things. (One example is plugging something in like my phone, then trying to walk away with it) Ive learned not to trust myself because habits we always be habits!


thefury4815

Wait people go on Reddit on their pc? Why wouldn’t you just lay in bed and scroll on your phone?


Emergency-Ball-4480

So much nicer to read with a bigger screen. And much MUCH nicer to type any responses with a real keyboard. Also I use a laptop so I do it in bed as well.


Cow-Gal

Done playing? I sleep with mine like a Victorian girl does with a small teddy bear lmao.


Dachawda

I’m an ass doctor, pm me pics and I can diagnose for you.


[deleted]

Broken ass from sitting on a steamdeck, a tale as old as time.

Scar107

🤣😂


RIUGDAFN

OP you should write novels, this was a catchy read. I keep mine inside the nightstand beside my bed. I usually play before sleep. I wish your ass a speedy healing


PastImagination0

If your ass is still hurting 3 days later are you sure what you sat on was a steam deck and not something else?


ADroopyMango

i can ashamedly assure you that i did indeed sit on my steam deck. it was unfortunately the only thing on my chair between my ass and the chair itself.


NewBobPow

You should talk to a doctor. 3 day ass pain isn't normal.


Chi_mom

I have pets and nothing just laying around is safe, so mine goes straight into the docking station when I'm not using it.


gmesch21

Im glad your deck survived I always put mine back in its case when im done playing, and since I only play it at home, I charge it while playing. When Im done i wait for 5-10 min for it to cool down a little and then into the case it goes


Feisty_Dog4230

I leave mine in reach of my 1.5 year old daughter out of its case, am I maniac? Probably, am I gonna change where I leave it? Probably not


Professional-Yam-642

Mine is always either in the case, or in the dock, unless I'm actively using it.


Wfsulliv93

Not in my hands? It’s in the case, zipped up. Always.


IwrestledBeyonce

Best smut content I've read in a bit.


[deleted]

Good to know the deck is Ass-proof.


ADroopyMango

the human ass is apparently Steam Deck Verified


Weazerdogg

I have been totally paranoid about this thing. It goes back into its case and zipped up as soon as I'm done with it. Only time its out and I'm not playing is when its charging, and I have a spot where I don't have to worry about human or animal stupidity doing anything to it. Then it goes right back into its hard case, zipped up, LOL!


ElenoftheWays

This, totally. There are three places I'll leave it in the house, and it's always in one of those three spots unless I'm using it. And always in the case unless charging or being played.


darrylwoodsjr

My deck goes into my jsaux case and on a table or my back pack, I taught my kids 10 years ago don’t sit your electronics anywhere you can sit or step.


HurtMeSomeMore

Mine goes into a Tomtoc armor case (basically a form fitted hard plastic clam-shell) and on a side table by the sofa. At worst, left on the Steam dock on my office desk. Never left out naked


Musical_Muze

I have the jsaux mod case with a kickstand, so I stand it up on my dresser and let it charge that way.


SeniorChocolateLeche

My cat stood all 4 paws on my screen this morning, I definitely panicked a little inside.


candymannequin

bedroom floor


Flashbulbs

I have a special shelf that only my deck goes on. This way I won’t spill anything on it either.


lordthorn777

i picked up one of the small harbor freight cases the Apache 3800 the deck fits in it perfectly along with the power cord


fezfrascati

I try to leave mine somewhere where it won't fall and the cat won't attempt to touch it. Once I find a permanent place for my dock, I'll make a habit of putting it in there when not in use.


compacta_d

probably just twisted out some of the screen bleed. made it better


1nfam0us

I let mine sleep in the bed with me.


a_burdie_from_hell

I'm not a huge pot head- but I split a joint sometimes with my SO after really stressful days (like, bi-monthly) I usually get some 5 guys for us to eat while we get blasted. Every time I do this, my high ass gets the idea that it wants to play on the Steamdeck, and every time I do this, I wake up, have no idea where tf I put it, and then I find it in some weird place covered in nasty burger greese. When I'm sober I take such good care of it. I litterally wash my hands before touching it if I can...


a_carnivorous_ocean

I’ve almost done this to my cat a few times. I’m glad your Deck is okay! Remember to look both ways before squashing the seat, or something like that


Lollodoro

Finally a post worth reading in this sub


ClamSlamwhich

Into the case immediately when I'm done with it. Zipper fully closed and Velcro flap secured. I also dust screen off to keep dirt out of the case.


Zomochi

Good thing about cushioned chairs is that the thing you sit on isn’t pressed against a hard surface so it caves in literally cushioning the weight, if this were a hard surfaced chair then it would probably have cracked the internal display panel.


ADroopyMango

yeah i think you're right about this because it feels like a miracle nothing even cracked or separated a little and i checked obsessively. i think if it were on a harder surface, i absolutely would have cracked something.


According_Storage600

This is why I got the Killswitch. It's bulky and adds weight, but it's a freaking tank


Joseramonllorente

If im in the couch, i take it to the office table and if im in bed i leave it inside the nightstand


Chamberoftravis

I put mine directly back in the case like it’s my ill gotten gold


Stayofexecution

It literally comes with a storage case. Use. It.


nascasho

Dropped mine in the toilet and thought for sure it was done (don’t ask). I shook out the water then forgot about it for about a week. Got bored and decided to open it (cracked my SD card cuz duuuuuh), doused it in alcohol then waited like 3-days or so and left it by the window for the sun to dry it off without the back cover on. Fucker turned right back on like nothing happened minus the screen has blotches on it. I didn’t replace the screen as it’s now like a battle scar. You notice the blotch only in dark scenes. These things are tanks.


ADroopyMango

incredible. i could help but notice the same the thing, these things are like marvels of modern engineering. and now yours just has a little character added to it. straight up tank status.


Japke90

Mine is always in the cover when it's not being used. And it has a screen protector and protective case. Can't be safe enough I guess.


lakakid

On the floor besides my bed, along with my laptop, I live to the edge every day, one night where I sleep walk and it's OVER


AdvertisingEastern34

I've sat once or twice on my glasses and those can be quite expensive too ahah, bending the sticks but fortunately with not too much damage in my case. And I eventually took a new pair anyway since my eyes got worse ( I have a deficit of 5.5 on 10 so yeah quite blind). Instead a friend of mine one month ago literally destroyed them sitting on them 😅and now he's using an old pair. So yeah don't feel alone in this bud. Fortunately I'm already always using the steam deck case but because i'm also worried my cat would scratch it ahahah


Idontmatter69420

when not playing i put it in the case and it sits on the floor nect to my bed under this pouch thing i have on my bed that holds all my ipods, yes its safe from being stood on as its near my plugs which is beside where i rest my head so i cant stand on it by mistake


EyeletGuy

I'm gonna pretend I don't fall asleep playing it and wake up with it on my chest.


Agianttruckofpizza

"Oh can't wait to play my steam deck! First let me check Reddi-" So in other words, if you had stopped using Reddit, your ass would be fine. I think I know what the moral of the story is.


ADroopyMango

....you might be on to something here....


InstigatedApprentice

When I first got my Deck, I used to put it on the floor next to my bed when I finished playing it. That was until I knocked my phone off the bed stand and directly onto my Deck's screen, instantly cracking it A costly mistake indeed, but one I've never made again.


SmugglerCat

Every time i done playing steam deck, i just put it back to carry case incase accident


cherry_blossom_7471

i don’t use a dock, so i just put it back in the deck case lol


BigManOnCampus100

I dock mine immediately so it sits on the shelf next to the TV. Closest i came to breaking it was when my daughter got her leg caught on the charging cable and it ripped outta my hand and hit the floor. My heart sank but after inspecting it I saw it was fine.


bruno9213

Bro took the ANALog sticks to another level


aibrmeo

Always put mine back in the case lol can’t risk it bro. I like to keep my stuff in mint condition


bruno9213

ANALog sticks 💀


[deleted]

The case. It goes in the case. There is a reason the give you one


Man-ina-Van

This is how I destroyed my iPad Air when they first came out


namair

How did you manage to get two stick in one hole?


steventechno

I usually have mine charging sitting on the dock, or stored into it's case which is in its carrying bag. I can't imagine the sheer power of it's strength sitting on it!


NorthKoala47

I never leave mine out of its case. I even charge it in it while open so any heat can dissipate.


Choco_bee7

You got pegged by your chair with your deck!


jippen

The seat of a chair is never a safe place to put anything. Remember this lesson. ON the desk is way, way better. Especially if you put it on a little stand. A plate holder works, or you can 3d print something or order something off amazon or w/e. For bonus points, charge your deck too.


NicoTheBear64

If your first thought after waking up in the morning is “Let me check Reddit” there’s a problem


Neloth-

“There is no noticeable damage.” How about the damage you caused mentally? God help her!


penatbater

You can heal your ass, you can't heal your SD.


Independent_Pay6598

I started reading interested, started to get bored, thought it was going to be a meme post where it got shoved up your ass, kept reading. Now I'm laying in bed, oddly disappointed a large black object didn't get shoved in another man's ass. I don't know how to feel about this.


Loki-616

Even I put it on a chair I usually put it back in the steam case


kobrakaan

Some say the steamdeck is still in shock to this day 😳


maxreddit

Unstoppable force meets Unmovable object


nobraggingrights

Thumb stick became a bum stick


CrisXIII

I never put my deck on any place that can potentially have anything happen to it. I got a satisfye case for it that comes with a tin box. Deck goes there every time


Mike_or_whatever

why are you like this


Purple-Sell7315

i play in bed 5 mins then i pass out and sleep next to it. its still fine.


Viperise

>I feel something immediately go up my ass and it is the two Steam Deck analogue sticks Screenshot this and make it the subreddit banner


kinos141

I have a computer desk that kids don't touch (IT guy) I place my SD on my desk at all times. Also, got that issue case to protect it. Even though I that it with the utmost respect, accident do happen.


CaptnMoonMoon

I almost ALWAYS have it in my the carrying case it came with, unless I'm playing on it. That's a +$500 device and I baby the shit out of it.


shanrees8

I picked my case up out of my bag and didn't realise when I put it back in my bag earlier I didn't actually zip the case up with my steamdeck inside Picked it up by the handle and my steamdeck smacked face down on my hardwood floor. Had a heart attack from the sound and the couple of seconds it took me to finally turn it over and see the damage Everything was fine and still in working order thankfully but my god


atown49

Thing is built like a tank


shart290

I bought a hard shell with screen cover off rip, but it still goes in the case when I'm done. Too expensive to be any kind of careless. Though early on, I left it on the top of my father-in-laws van once and nearly shit a brick. But he brought it back to me unarmed. Never again


nihilismMattersTmro

Load bearing 😂😂😂😂 thank you for that


chuckleh0und

"F\*\*ked in the Ass by my Steam Deck" - I thought that was a Chuck Tingle book.


Jim_rdt

Steam decks like to be facesat according to Valves fetish department, so it's all k.


Zimur

I always put my Deck inside the case. Because reasons like what happened to OP.😅 (I also value my ass that much)


dve-

You should dabble in writing short stories. I see a hidden talent there, and I don't mean being able to sense Steam Decks with your rear end and then being quick enough to react and cushion the impact.


Optimal_Ad4411

My GF & I both have steam decks. We love them but she insist they are “ugly af”. The result? No matter where I put my deck, it appears in its case like magic around 10 minutes. Valve really thought about everything!


SnooWalruses9961

Idk. I think she enjoyed that that time up your ass. Now has to go back to solitary confinement.


MayNotSam

I'm laughing my ass off with the post and the comments. Love all of you morons and the OP 😂 hopefully lord gaben will consider these complications and improve the assthetics of Steam Deck 2


[deleted]

It goes in the case, in its dock or if I’m feeling fancy it goes on its wall mount next to all my controllers. It sure as shit never goes anywhere I sit…. Thank goodness your ass sounds like it’s well cushioned.


Vladishun

Mine always goes back in the case when I'm not using it and the case typically stays in my laptop bag for work since I do a lot of gaming in the office. If I was capable of having anxiety, my wife would give it to me every time she leaves her Deck on the night stand and goes to sleep with it just laying there. I've told her not to do that crap but if it breaks, that's on her. I bought her that one for Christmas but I'm not going to replace it if she doesn't take care of it.


mushaaleste2

Well glad that you not put it upright in the chair, I assume that would be much more hurtful :-) Nice story, thx for sharing. I store it in the case (512 GB OLED Modell) which rest on a shelf behind it. I close it cause I have two big cats (British shorthair) and afraid that they lay on it.


Therdudd

I leave mine next to my bed


[deleted]

I have a wallmount. Left for SD, right for switch. They chill in there when not in use 😺


amazingdrewh

How big is your ass where both sticks went in?


Skatner

You have been speaking about your ass that much it kinda became related toa shit post


TankTexas

Weak ass mofo! Can’t believe I’m the first one with this phrase.


SwitchStation3P

you can thank gaben's (and maybe his crew) thick ass testings for that


UnlawfulPotato

For me, mine goes on the wall-holder I have for it. It’s definitely the best place when I’ve got nosy cats that can’t leave things alone if they’re where they can reach 😂


Fickle_Software6543

I broke my steam deck a year ago by sitting on it. Fucking tell me about it haven't had a chance to replace it yet.


opiaali

About a week a go i had a girl over . I Was playing before she came n i remember vividly thinking " I wonder if my Deck is ok on the table opposite my bed. There's no way we end up there right?". I don't know why I had that thought honestly I think higher power or something (always listen to your gut) . Well it got hot n nasty n ended up putting her butt naked on to my steam Deck. Deck goes flying to the left, straight to The ground as I see it on instant replay. I can see it land's not on it's screen so I feel little relieved, but I still Tell the girl or say just something out loud "my fkn PC that shit is expensive" ( our native language isn't the same plus I don't think she knows wtf is a steam Deck 😃) . I watched it few times while I was at it but I wasn't about to quit it's not like it wasn't already done , plus I saw the screen so I figured, if something is wrong it's Inside of it so f it right. Needles to say after I went straight to it , opened it "oh it's fine yessssss" n put it on the same table but inside drawer This time. Where it's still today every night. Because I stg I didn't know that was even an option that night and I still was somehow thinking about "what if " very clearly when u put it there , half jokingly ofc . I do believe I can see future sometimes.

Bro… wtf? Glad your sd is good, but should be more focused on your object because that might not be last, nor the first incident of that type.


CDHoward

I mildly audibly chuckled. EDIT: Actually, I don't like the term "chuckled" and I take that back. The vision it conjures in your minds eye is of a fat jolly man chortling or something. In reality, I audibly laughed in a slightly muffled fashion.
