That girl who plays Steam Deck and writes about gaming + Linux a lot
Ohhhh maybe that is why I found a user elsewhere offering to pay for people to design some game covers for specific titles with the similar white font idea?!
(and me too, I played Colin McRae with my papa a lot and I just love it, you can make it look amazing with emulators these days!!!)
Its a shame. Some time ago this would happen with my posts, then someone reached out to the Boost dev and they fixed it. At least for awhile. Seems that same issue remains :(
I see they go by bylukamrkonjic on reddit, so if you’d like to make an account and reach out to them, then they might send you a fresh invite?
I’d say that invite has expired
How’s this (its the only link that was made public - maybe it has expired?)
I’d hope that maybe in the future they’ll follow this up with further support? That may just be the eternal optimist in me, but I’d like to believe there is a chance :)
And thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed this much smaller mini edition!!!
Oh that is lucky!!!
Glad it helped!
They’ve a whole bunch of promotions for sales on their site right now!!!
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.
Plenty happened!
But, yes, that too. I laughed, so many posts have the title ‘rival devices’ supporting Steam OS and I just have to wonder…is that what they really think?
Hard to imagine more devices having Steam there, giving Valve that sale-per-game money being a bad thing.
But again, these huge news pieces are done to death by the time I get around to them with my weekly posts. I can’t see what I can add, unless I find anything else fun about them!
Oh I know, plenty of big things happened (isn’t it lovely how quickly you can go from Game to Desktop Mode now?!)
…but the things I try to share are never those big ones. Everyone sees them, my posts aren’t ever meant to be the ‘big news items’ things - just some that (hopefully) people might miss!
Thank you, Brave Little Hitachi Wand!!
This one’s very small compared to my typical News Posts, but:
a) thought it nice to try something specific
b) easier to arrange quickly than my usual endless effort!!!
I appreciate the comment, I felt a bit self-conscious sharing only a small post this time :)
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
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!
Again, thank you so much :)
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!
Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying things!!!
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed these!
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.
As to GOG and Epic (and even Amazon) look into:
…there are others, but these two I swear by.
As to emulation, the default idea most have is EmuDeck, but I by far recommend
…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!!!
There was talk of a site, but last year-ish someone started taking the designs (which for some was an issue, and for some it was not since they’re made using Nintendo’s assets after all) and selling them on etsy.
So that site never quite got up and running, with the community fairly divided. GOG has a forum thread for their community made covers, and I think Reddit has a sub for these covers of Nintendo ones, too.
Sadly no central site though, that I know of all least!
Ugh.
Boost strikes again, luckily I’m semi-sure the dev is on or frequents here, so maybe they’ll see its having trouble again.
Sorry!
I’ve joked about AAAA for soooo long now, I’m so glad someone else is dropping this in the occasional comment!
I thought I was the only one left!
I even had someone ask me what ‘AAAA’ was!
Thanks for letting them know!
