Just sharing my post from #Lemmy because I have 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 a higher character count to write something out on there!
#JunkStore has had a big new update for #SteamDeck with version 1.1.9 available in the Decky testing store now!
Junk-Store is a plugin via Decky which lets you play #EpicGames and #GOG titles on the 'Deck with the minimum of fuss.
lemmy.worldNew Junk-Store update (install and play Epic Games + GOG on the Steam Deck) - Lemmy.WorldDoing the bare minimum here and just posting this by copying and pasting the
announcement - and prettifying the formatting, because a direct copy paste
bastardizes the layout here on Lemmy!

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!
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUm9ILmf85k] And another by another YouTuber,
doing something similar! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjXoAlN3p0Y] 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!
