Its funny, I just think I have a thing for the underdogs. So I was always drawn to GOG, their stance on DRM-free gaming and games preservation in general don’t hurt though, of course!
Its taken me until now to even really look at Steam, even for my Steam Deck. I will admit, Steam’s cloud saves and pre-shader compilation is a blessing to game with.
And even more so that you’d trust it would be worth a read purely because my other posts have been a nice read! That is so nice to read - thank you!
I find I check in with Gardiner’s blog each day now, I love clean and ‘pure’ sites and articles where the intention isn’t affiliate links or ads, or begging for new Patreon supporters…just the topic at hand!
Sometimes (often) those ‘latest’ builds don’t work so well, and things break. Its a classic problem which plagues EmuDeck, and why long-term users warn people
if things are working, don’t update!
That very thing which annoys some people - no bleeding-edge latest updates on emulators, to me is stability and a relief. I trust the devs of RetroDECK to update only when things need it!
And I also have it all on my SD card! Its the best idea, roms, emulators, bios, mods, texture packs. I like how it keeps things organized and clean :)
Not so long! The thing which slows me most is formatting for Lemmy. I’ve had some recommendations that A.I. could for once be useful and do that part of it for me…but so far I stubbornly do it by hand regardless!
Keep an eye out, I try make them weekly, though in the past it’s gone as few as two days between posts (generally though, I try make myself wait and hold off to give it a week between them!) - so there’ll be more coming :)
I’m so glad you’re getting a Steam Deck, you’ll love it! They’re easy if you want to just…start installing games without tinkering, or you can dive in and find all kinds of fun things.
…but if you ever have any specific questions, or want help or a guide to anything, reach out to me. I kinda live/breath the Steam Deck - so I’m always happy to help!!!
Check back in (here or Mastodon!) and let me know what you think! Give it a little time, to me it has a bit if a cold opening, but it really opens up after 20 or so mins.
Well and truly, I love what the indie space makes in gaming these days, often more than the fanciest AAA offerings!
I know these are ‘heavy’, but I try my best to break them into sections (*actually, this time I did not do that - typically they’re broken into themed sections like ‘Switch News’, or ‘GOG News’ etc), and make it a little easier to wade through.
I just love writing them in this way, even if they’re not the most convenient. And I do try to ‘pretty’ them up, too! I’m glad you enjoyed this, there’s plenty I’ve done before it if you’re interested in reading others!
What exactly did you do for them? I’d say its a better thing to dedicate your time to than others, when it comes to volunteering time! Like others, I checked over the jobs listed but it doesn’t show if nay are remote, or whether it is strictly for those living in Poland!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Many more to come, too :)
And no! Its just…for the fediverse I suppose! I do post to Mastodon - other bits and pieces - daily, though. If you wanted to follow along there and see more of this kind of nonsense from me!
