Nice post! I would like to add I personnally had issues with heroic launcher for it to recognize the steamdeck inputs (in my case LotR:Return to Moria, from Epic. I tried Heroic and Lutris, Lutris is my go to on desktop). My solution was to launch the games from steam after adding them with this.
I did not lose anything since the game is runing well and I got it for free. The game does have some weird things going on and miss some features indeed but as long as I can have fun with friends…
As a fellow enthusiast with an obsessive-compulsive drive to write about my hobbies (not necessarily video-game related, but quite similar) i know that these things take a while to write, especially when you take the time to format everything correctly, link the sources, etc.
So I wanted to echo the others here and say that I really appreciate your work here. It was a fun way to start my day, and I’m looking forward to your next post :)
Really, this is fun for me. Its going to take all my resolve to not do this again in 24 hours (because, over saturation!), it just makes me happy to find what interests me.
I’m lucky to have found a place like this community, where it just so happens others find that same stuff (so far!) just as interesting!
At some stage this was a weekly thing for me, at least on Reddit under another username.
I focused primarily on GOG and Epic, because few users covered their news. In fact one game site offered me a job (or the beginnings of an offer) after they gained some popularity.
Regardless, I’d love to post these in a somewhat regular manner. Hard to know what I find interesting is for others, before I try it. Looks like it might be though!
Thank you for doing this. I particularly like the GOG part as I usually prefer to buy from them. Most of the Linux gaming advice and news out there is catered to the majority of 100% steam users though.
I love finding other GOG fans! They’re my absolute number one, and that tended to be my focus. I’ll keep it in mind that especially here, there’s more of us!
You’re so welcome! It’s a bit of awful thing, writing up something like this and wondering if it’s going to go down okay (for me anyway!), but that might be a lot of the typical Reddit user responses tainting my previous experiences doing this kinda thing!
I’m glad the responses are positive here, you can count on this being a regular thing <3
I had no idea until now that Junk-Store existed, probably because I’m part of the PC master race. It sounds like it’s entirely for the Deck.
That is really cool that you know the Heroic devs. Tell them that it really needs a last-added sorter so we can see what was most recently added to our collective libraries.
Junk-Store is a wonderful piece of software! Eben (the dev) has a background in the same field of work I am in, pen-testing. He’s also a talented programmer! JS runs on the Deck, but also on Bazzite, after Kyle (Bazzite dev!) noticed his work and how well it suited things there.
Its no secret the upcoming version won’t be Decky Loader dependent however, so make of that what you will!
I’ll literally tell Paweł that you’re a Heroic fan! And I’ll pass on a link to this comment so he can see that I am praising his work wherever I go! <3
