That girl who plays Steam Deck and writes about gaming + Linux a lot
Yes! That’s exactly how Heroic works!
Check their website if you want to look at the FAQ, its extensive in what it covers there!
But, it definitely bypasses the need for Epic’s launcher. As with Amazon Games titles, and GOG as well! An all-in-one :)
I’m the weirdo who thinks that writing these up is just the most fun I could have. Last year I did these weekly on Reddit, and I missed it a lot when I left that site. So…I’m so glad there are people here who enjoy these. I’m so glad I returned to Lemmy!
Heroic will be a great way for you to get those games working on your Steam Deck!
Thank you!
You might be right, at least they won’t go anywhere until I do decide where to back them up in one collection. If you remember, or come across it, let me know!
That’s the best thing I could ever read! Thank you so much, and I’m glad you found it interesting :)
I keep forcing everyone I know to watch it!
imLinguin is my latest casualty being forced by me to watch through it!
Gahhh you’re way too kind!!!
So kind of you to say!
Six of these so far, and considering how happy they make me, I don’t expect I’ll slow down any time soon! Just glad people find these as interesting to read as I do writing them!
If you’re in a country that let’s you, Buyee is a good option!
Its a auction proxy service that let’s you bid on the Japanese auction sited (as well as straight-up buying). They have super affordable options that way! My hobby is buying very cheap ‘junk’ consoles, fixing them up and giving them new life.
Annnnd there’s a strong homebrew scene for the 3DS now, so the library is extensive
Thank you!!!
I somehow never played a single COD game until the most recent one on Game Pass. Sometimes the older ones look interesting to me, but those inflated old prices for such old titles make me a lil cross. The one in space appeals to me!
…I hope maybe one day they’ll come to Game Pass :)
Oh thank you!
If you filter by my username here, you can sift through my nonsense. As I’m guessing the title has given away, this is the sixth of these I have written up!
They’re meant to be weekly, but I don’t think I’ve been able to wait a full week between writing these yet!
You’re very kind:)
My 3DS still comes with me on the odd work-trip! As does my DSi (I love the design of the DSi, from a hardware perspective). Their games libraries are so, so unique.
It was made by a friend, and…as far as these things go, don’t you want to encourage this kind of thing? Fostering the underdogs and encouraging any kind of FOSS alternatives?
I’m on Matrix, and so are most of those who are on this server, but…this is fun!
Drop by, and find out!
Glad to have you in there and on board!
I love that damn server!!!
I mean…did you read the notes here?
DREDGE!!!
(it will forever be my fav game I ever played on the Steam Deck! That Lovecraftian horror is somehow so so cozy!!)
Thanks, you two. Nice to see you here in the comments and on Lemmy!!! <3
