Steam Deck OLED is just pure joy - the definitive Steam Deck

One of the things that's keeping me from upgrading is that I'd have to migrate my setup via emudeck over to the new one.

I know they have a migration tool, but if anything goes wrong with that, I'd have to do it all over again, and last time took several days with getting all the screenshots, writing my own scripts to modify game names (cause default names contain useless info), etc.

Quoting: emphyHuge fan of heroic.

Absolutely hated that it contains a store page, though. I vehemently dislike that one often has to install a shop on one's system just to be able to install a game one has already paid for.
You can install games you own in your library in Heroic, no need to go to the store page for that.

You can remove the store button to the left, of course, but... does that really make a difference compared to just not clicking on it?

I REALLY like that manager.
I do use GOG and EGS only occasionally, but want all my games on Steam - and Heroic has that nifty button that adds a game to your Steam library.

Humble knows their memes.

Squadron 42 finally 'feature complete', CIG talk up Vulkan support for Star Citizen

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhat incentive is that? Because, you know, normally you only get paid by customers for a game when you release it. I assume there's some sort of story here?
I would summarize the situation like this:
They are being bankrolled by rich fools fans first in a Kickstarter-like manner and by now also absurdly expensive in-game items (in Star Citizen).
