Anyway, I've used Junk-Store for well over a year now, and I swear by it. To me the benefit is how while running from within Decky, the library you're presented (of your Epic Games titles, or GOG) looks exactly as it does in your regular games' library on the Steam Deck.

It feels like an extension of what is already there, as stock and pretty as if it were official. It makes playing your claimed (or bought) games a breeze.

Here's a video showing Heroic and Junk-Store on the Steam Deck, with details on each - its a YouTube link!

And another by another YouTuber, doing something similar!

Yes, GOG is a once-off payment of $6.00 USD, for me that's more than worth the time they dev puts in to the work, just like XBPlay (upscaling Xbox games through cloud gaming on my Steam Deck!) was a once-off payment, to me I feel like I'm getting a steal.

Anyway, a heads-up for those who run it (or want to!), a nice update has been made!

(also, not my picture I attached to this. It belongs to one from the Junk-Store - Annie!

Both are awesome but Heroic is more for desktop use while JunkStore is a Decky Loader plugin with a UX/UI more tailored towards game mode, making it ideal to use on the deck.

GOG is a once-off payment of $6

Where do I send this?

[โ€“] PerfectDark@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Via Patreon or Ko-Fi!

Just searched it - here are the links -

Oh my gosh, 20MTD in a wild screenshot??

If you're into top-down shooter rogue likes, 20mtd is super fun and the dev is pretty cool from what I've seen. I've got almost 250 hours in it

I hate to break the atmosphere, but I just threw this together without taking my own screenshot of my Junk-Store!

This is a screenshot which belongs to one of the Junk-Store team - Annie, which I just grabbed quickly from an image search via DDG

she's also rather lovely, HI ANNIE!

...one thing is for sure, with 250 hours in the game it seems you've got to be a huge fan of it!!!

Hey hope you are well! Your posts are amazing as always, I just read your latest Steam Deck News post!

I must admit I haven't actually played this game, I guess I'll have to add it to my backlog of games to play.

I have recently gone back to playing DREDGE with a vengence so it might take me a while to try this game out.

[โ€“] PerfectDark@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

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

Does this mean that gog was finally released or will it be still stuck under paywall?

[โ€“] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

There are other free alternatives. But Junk-Store is better integrated into Steam Game Mode and supporting good software should always be in your best interest, even more so with specialized quality software like Junk-Store. If you have $6 at your disposal, it's well worth it.

[โ€“] PerfectDark@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I mean...did you read the notes here?

[โ€“] igiIq@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Didnโ€™t notice it ๐Ÿ’€
