Thanks for the post, really fun to read. Especially enjoyed the Steam Deck focus, as I also am obsessed with it. Haven’t tried RetroDeck nor Junk Store, but sounds like I need to.

Hope you have more posts in the future :)

I promise I will be!

My only issue is somehow keeping it formatted nicely (I miss peppering these with pretty pictures and GIFs), and being able to stop!!!

And you should try both! They’re very easy to install, and I absolutely swear by RetroDECK

GreyEyedGhost,

I don’t know how it’s done, but I know images can be inserted. On the plus side, posts, including titles, can be edited, so any failed image attempts can be removed. This post was already enjoyable, but I’m interested in seeing how much more enjoyable it could be.

Seems like I should give Junk-Store another shot I had installed it back when I was on beta branch and it was… funky. It had me sign in to Epic and then the frame / overlay wouldn’t go away, I had to force restart my Deck just to make it usable again.

I tried a few times here and there and ran into the same issue, so it’s just been sitting installed as a spooky button.

It’s definitely more polished and complete now! The dev also works hard, especially if a user has any little issues, they have a Discord and Git page all where help and previous issues are detailed and worked out step-by-step on a fix. There’s also a huge list on games which work via Legendary, and any tweaks users have reported to make games work are listed there on the Discord, too.

I’d be curious how you find it, after so much time has passed between the beta and now! Do update how you go! (I’ve shared that people have written comments here about Junk-Store, with Eben the dev (hi Eben), so I know he’ll be lurking here)

Hahaha you were correct we are lurking. Eben told me you posted on here so I thought I’d check it out. Your posts have always been amazing! We both thank you for the shout out and I must say I have missed you!

I missed you too!!!

JunkStore,
@JunkStore@lemm.ee avatar

Hey sorry you had issues early on. This sounds like these issues could be flatpak related instead of Junk Store related. But yes back then it was in beta so there would have been issues. If you’re willing, give it another go as it’s pretty solid these days. If you have any issues you can find us here or on discord.

Romkslrqusz,

I meant that I was on the beta branch for SteamOS / Decky Loader, thoygh perhaps Junk Store too. I figured it was likely a conflict with another plugin (probably something in CSS Loader) but hadn’t bothered to diagnose which.

I’ll totally be giving it another shot since it seems awesome :)

JunkStore,
@JunkStore@lemm.ee avatar

Ah ok, yeah not sure what the issue could have been then. If you have any issues or questions please do let us know.

Oh man, thank you so much for doing this !!! I’ll devour every post you make.

*ma’am!

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

Brumefey,

Same ! Thank you @PerfectDark.

As far as the shutdown of the Epic game Dauntless, was any reason given for the shutdown?

Thank you so much!

It was bought by a crypto company that pushed aggressive monetization, and fired most of the original staff.

Constant nerfs to the original gameplay, invalidating months of users’ grind by removing (‘improving’) core mechanics.

This is why the popularity dropped, but as to their official announcement, it was very short on details. Just another failed game, sadly.

Great post! I appreciate your work.

I looked up the Epic iPhone app, only available for EU users. Huh. Guess that’s due to the Apple cut in other territories.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I believe you need to scan the QR code to install it on Apple phones!

Hail, fellow ex-redditor!

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.

PerfectDark, (edited )
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Hello!!!

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

(I shared the link, hi Paweł!!!)

The sad thing is at least on Reddit I’d go crazy with images for each point I found, GIF’s, etc.

If you’re talking about embedding images in the post you can with www.imagelink.here

This is awesome! I hope you continue it in the future. It’s super informative and nice way to get a feel for the going ons.

I’d like to!

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 so much <3

Don_alForno,

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.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

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!

Once you get the hang of Markdown, you’ll enjoy it far more than Reddit’s shitty syntax. You’ve got way more options here since they implemented a well-tested and widely used system.

Don’t forget to use the formatting help link next to preview button!

Reddit used to use Markdown too, before the new mobile-oriented UI.
