Thank you! So much! This is really helpful for reading through :)

Next time will be far prettier then, I pinkie-swear!!!

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)

*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

Further:

• sadly no store pages are live yet to wishlist

• the release date is September 5th (for some reason skipping Judgement Day’s date?!)

I feel so heartbroken that I never got a sequel to Prey

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.

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

Ahhh thank you!!!

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

(and thank you, its kind of you to say!)

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!!!)

Ugh. Formatting is a nightmare.

Sorry, all.

Please do!

Hmmm, maybe you should try your resolution and texture settings, I’ve had not one issue playing games, no slowdowns for me.

But, never say never!

Let us know how you find it! I’d love to hear what you think, after such a long time between play-throughs!

Of the first? Yes! Its incredible. They did such a good job keeping the original game there with lovely new textures.

I haven’t the nostalgia of playing the original at release (or ever), but I really enjoyed System Shock Remake. You won’t regret it! It goes pretty cheap quite regularly on GOG, also

It’s perfect!

Performance is tied to framerate, or at least was a loooong time ago. I notice a lot of users on EmuDeck write about this. Like…a lot! Not your issue, but I read a lot who think the game is playing in super slo-mo, but this is all tied to the framerate. Keep it at 60 Hz or above, and all is fine.

PCSX2 has a huge range of tweaks you can make, but there’s also HD texture ‘packs’ you can download and apply, which re-do all the textures (yeah, I know you guessed that). Some of these can be huge like Silent Hill 2’s coming in at 29GB, and some can be teeny-tiny like MGS2’s which only re-textures the HUD and menu (because PCSX2 can upscale the native game’s resolution well enough on its own!)

Long reply, for me to say it performs perfectly for me!

I really enjoyed playing the first one on a flight, on my Steam Deck. So I’m hoping this next will play just as well!

That’s what this image is from! PCSX2 via the configurator. I use RetroDECK on my Steam Deck.

It runs perfectly! Absolutely perfect. I also use some HD texture packs, replacing the vanilla textures to make it look extra fancy :)

Announcing they’d have native Linux support with a launcher and then never mentioning it again, hoping that everyone would forget?

That feels pretty awful to me, a Linux user. Obviously negated since we have such lovely work as Heroic (the dev of which is a personal friend), but it is the odd strange misstep like this which strikes me as being pretty sad.

Then we have developers never updating their games on GOG. Admittedly not a GOG problem, per se, but they could pressure these developers so that this kind of issue wouldn’t persist. There are SO many games which do this, that the GOG forums have a dedicated thread for this very issue: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/games_that_treat_gog_customers_as_second_class_citizens_v2/page316/?search=second+class At the moment, there are 4,729 replies on that thread.

GOG Galaxy 2.0 is nigh-on-abandoned now, with constant problems. There’s a slew of posts about it on all Reddit, their forum and on social media.

They have their issues. I adore them, but they have their issues.

Good point! Edited my profile to have a ‘find me on Lemmy’ with my profile link! 'appreciated :)
