Top controller layout becomes default for everyone if the devs don’t set one.
What could possibly go wrong…oh.
I absolutely love this. What an amazing troll. And “Some Nermal” has me giggling so hard.
A modern version of alt+f4 to change teams. Or f10 to switch your loadout. Love it.
Some Fucking Nermal is my new John Doe
Don’t you mean Jon Arbuckle?
That’s fucking hilarious
How long have we been crowd sourcing controller layouts?
it’s a fairly good idea, ignoring the funny outcomes caused by allowing them to have “shut down” be an option.
Quite some time. At least since the first Steam Controller, 2015. Possibly before that.

Old internet is leaking. That’s the kind of jest I’d expect in 2010 xD
Heck, I remember telling people over IRC chat they could get more features from the Alt+F4 menu.
It’s still hillarious to do with kids on MC servers, minecraft uses combinations of F[number] buttons to do some stuff (eg: get the debug screen, toggle advanced tooltips and change gamemode) so kids might belive it lmao
“If you click F3+H you can see more info about an item!” (Legit one)
“I also suggest to click alt+f4 so you can see on the hotbar your armor” ;)
That’s hilarious, I would have never thought to check that
That
is
hilarious
Yeah, that’s really fucking funny. I’m sorry, but that’s great.
Why is “shutdown computer” an option in controller layouts? I don’t even think that should be an option.
Seems like an option that could be useful for accessibility controllers.
It’s probably just Alt+F4. As you bind keys to the controller inputs, that should be possible.
Actual answer: steam provides the flexibility to rebind basically whatever you want to a controller input in order to make abstruse keyboard/mouse commands available via controller. It’s less that there’s a “shutdown computer” option in a dropdown menu and more that some ingenious prankster realized they could bind the windows shutdown keyboard shortcut.
ahh, yeah that is an explanation that makes sense. I do think that’s a good capability, when you put it that way. Thank you!
It’s for people who use Steam in Big Picture Mode as a console replacement, so that they can shut off their PC without getting up from the couch.
I thought of that, but even then it seems not worth it. At least it should be gated behind a “hold N seconds while the overlay warns you’re about to shutdown”
This is actually an option, the function is there, you can bind it to whatever button you want and however you want, long press, short press, double press. It’s very powerful tool.
Or just trigger a power options overlay where you manually confirm shutdown
This should be the default behavior of such functionality. And if someone really wants to do a shutdown without confirmation, there could be special options for it too.
Yeah that’s probably even better
That’s exactly what it should be.
This is a custom binding though, you can do that through the regular Big Picture menu
Gives me flashbacks to Goldsrc dedicated server operators sending eject CD or Play CD commands to clients which was possible for some reason.
We used to embed sub7 server in the Office executables on every workstation we’d use so we could do shit like this when someone else was using it later. The high school network admin hated my friend group.
That was used for early anti cheat systems, effectively making your system upload a screenshot. That way admins can see if you had a wallhack or anything else suspicious.
Clearly you aren’t trying to hide hardcore porn games from your family and don’t need the ultimate panic button
Lol not so much, no.
Why should we cater to people who blindy download controller layouts?
Computers are powerful machines. Learn to use them properly.
Maybe read the whole screenshot
Dammit Nermal
Some Nermal out there
Nah, that’s some Garfield shit.
Nermal is literally just a kitten who uses him as an insult.
That nermal, will it ever stop being so cute?
