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
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!
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.

The Star Wars Battlefront games. With how horribly the liver service EA version that came out in 2015 was and how dead it apparently is, the PS2 games are the only ones I’ll ever acknowledge as existing.
Also, one of my personal favorites that I’d consider a must have is Dokopon Kingdom. Yes the remake/remaster exists, but I don’t normally go for remasters in most situations. Gameplay is just roll a spinner, move on board, and adventure around the world while trying to do quests if you are in the story mode.
Both games have a lot of content and replayability in my eyes, which makes a game more of a must have for me.
Edit:
Hot Wheels: Beat That! Looked it up because I couldn’t remember the name, but that’s a racing game with a good amount of replayability and isn’t as short as something like Cartoon Network Racing. Didn’t realize it came out on various other consoles and PC, but can definitely recommend on at least PS2 (how I ended up playing it).
Just throwing out a fun game from my childhood, Lego Racers 2. I’ll have to read through later for ideas because I’m in a similar boat in having never really been in console circles and never owned a PS2
There are two amazing super hero games that I would recommend: Spider-Man 2 and Hulk: Ultimate destruction.
Spider-Man 2 was easily one of my favorite games of all time. This game essentially set the bar for what a Spider-Man game should be.
Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was an open world game where you were the Hulk and did all the Hulk things. I can’t think of a recent game where you play as the green giant.
Def Jam: Fight for NY, dot hack series (originals and G.U.), King’s Field 4, Monster Rancher 4, Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition, and quite a few more. I can’t look at the games I have installed just yet, but I could always recommend more if anyone is interested. :)
Try Dynasty Warriors. It’s a genre I don’t see much anymore, but you take control of a general and blast through tons of minions in a big battlefield, aiming for enemy generals to turn the tide of battle (reflected in overall ‘morale’).
All the games tell the same story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Obviously just play the last one available, because it has all the quality of life improvements, but I’ll only play 3, because it’s the only one that has Gan Ning with his super-pimp sword resting on top of his super-pimped no shirt tats.
