Just got #Steamos #SteamDeck failures with #deckyloader again.

This time I decided to check the code...
I thought it would be not great, but no, it's bad.
It's a mix of a lot of things waiting to go wrong.
I dont want to dig too deeply as I want to be able to do something with steam someday without having prior knowledge.

But damn... Python, ts, lack of testing, lack of assertions, problems with versions and packaging...
No wonder this thing is crashing left and right for many people.

I'll just stay away from it from the time being.

MagicPods 2.0 has released for #SteamDeck - via #DeckyLoader

If you own a #SteamDeck then do yourself a favor and install #DeckyLoader

https://decky.xyz/

If for no other reason than to then install the plugin called CSS Loader and make your home UI 𝘴𝘰 much prettier than it is by default.

Like most, I love making mine have 'Switch-like' properties: rounded corners and cleaner interface.

#Linux after-all is infinitely customizable by nature, so this should be no surprise.

And we can thank @aa for making the damn thing!

Perhaps a, delicate admission, but the sub-reddit 'SteamDeckPirates'.

When I joined the information wasn't really there for 'those' games running on the #SteamDeck. It was gate-kept and disseminated or simply didn't exist. So I took a mostly abandoned sub and made it...great!

From there I started to pivot, I interviewed the devs from things like Heroic, or #Lutris and #EmuDeck, befriended #DeckyLoader and became close friends with #junkstore

So, both #piracy and legit programs.

#SteamDeck tip:

If you use #DeckyLoader (if you don't...you should!) then install the plugin called Storage Cleaner

https://github.com/mcarlucci/decky-storage-cleaner

It let's you see your #Steam and non Steam games and the shader cache and compat data they are taking up. Its SO basic and easy to understand that it makes cleaning up space an absolute breeze.

This is one of maybe 5 'must-have' plugins for every Deck I've set up, letting you stay on top of the data taken up.

Pics from their GitHub!

#SteamDeck tip:

SteamGridDB is an incredible plugin available via #DeckyLoader which lets you choose from a giant collection of user-submitted game art.

You get to choose every facet of the art for your games (there are separate sections to change), and make it truly your 'own', and unique to you!

This and CSSLoader are my fav two Decky plugins, and the possibilities of changing things are endless.

I've found a few images showing off the different art, to share here!!!

It still amazes me that last year I interviewed (and sometimes befriended) #piracy figures such as #FitGirl and #Dodi, #Empress and #KaOs, alongside the developers of #DeckyLoader, #EmuDeck, #RetroDECK, #JunkStore, #HeroicGamesLauncher and...so, so, SO many more besides.

I cracked #Denuvo on a game to see how it worked, I wrote tens or thousands of words for a ton of guides for #SteamDeck gaming and tinkering, and then -

That was it! Now I'm happier JUST #gaming, its almost like retirement! <3

I kinda wish #deckyloader was just available on the #steam store.

You can tinker on the software on your #SteamDeck!

- #DeckyLoader (the plugins SteamGridDB, CSS Loader, Storage Cleaner)

- #JunkStore (play all your redeemed #GOG and #EpicGames titles!

- #HeroicGamesLauncher (the same, but also supports #PrimeGaming titles from Amazon)

- #RetroDECK (for emulating everything from the first consoles to #NintendoSwitch and #PS3 - and running it all, roms, bios, mods and emulators all from a SD card)

- #Shortix (saves of all non Steam Games)

If I had a wish for a specific #DeckyLoader plugin for the #SteamDeck, it would be a #Nextcloud Files sync plugin.

Purely because I already have Nextcloud on my home server, and don't want to set up Syncthing just for the few games or apps that don't sync to something out of the box.

However, I also appreciate that it's definitely more niche for the Steam Deck's audience compared to Syncthing.

@robyn

#JunkStore through #DeckyLoader is a great option for Epic! And the dev is a friend. If you need any help, he and his wife are very active in their lil Discord server, so they're always on hand for any hiccups.

I swear by it :)

For anyone using #SteamDeck with its default #Linux don't forget you can install the SteamGridDB plugin from #DeckyLoader to easily choose your own custom game art!

I do this for all my games, because to me there's nothing more fun than making the Steam Deck feel more my own. Here are some I chose to use for #ResidentEvil (my fav of all of them is the 3rd game), because nothing is more admirable to me than the bum Jill kicks in this game.

I love customizing #gaming
