Heroic Games Launcher for Epic & GOG gets themes, platform selection, favourites

Quoting: EhvisI'd rather have Amazon support since the Twitch App/Amazon Games App are a much bigger pain to deal with.
The foundation is built already. Similar to legendary, which implements the epic games api as cli tool, there is https://github.com/imLinguin/nile/ which covers amazon games.
It is just not tied into the Heroic GUI yet and hasn't received the same amount of testing.

How did they implement SD Support?
I can't find the right commit and i haven't seen anything related to a controller driver in the linux ecosystem yet.

Quoting: constWished for a Top 100 Pokemon-like games for Linux/Steam Deck. :D

I think an overview across the Nintendo Originals would also be good.
Nintendo themselfes made quite a few remakes across multiple platforms and i absolutely lost track which
edition is a remake of which other edition, which platforms they run on, which areas you can visit and which Pokemon can be caught where and in which editions and the background story.
That would fit perfectly well with the Emudeck article

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualCan't get past one mention of GOG without talking about how GOG Galaxy doesn't have a GNU/Linux build.

There are various tools that cover that need like MiniGalaxy and Heroic.
The latter also installs linux native builds if available.

Maybe he just received his purchase? :)
Valve will also send me a unit that I ordered,eventually.

Google plans their own version of Wine to run Windows games on Stadia
12 March 2022 at 5:45 am UTC

Google has deep pockets and I think Upstream wine could benefit from it.
I don't like the idea of having another fork besides Proton as that would mean duplicated work and people missing bugfixes if they choose the wrong edition.

Wine 7.4 changes the default theme and more PE conversion work
12 March 2022 at 5:42 am UTC Likes: 2

Converting to longs or other infrastructure work seems to be the current focus for wine.
No wonder that there aren't any major Bugfixes for games.
I think we will need to wait a couple of weeks to see more interesting changes again..

Heroic Games Launcher now works nicely on Steam Deck
5 March 2022 at 3:39 am UTC

Quoting: g000hHeroic launcher is like what Epic launcher would have been for Linux but better - no store and no adverts, muhahaha.

I think a unified store across platforms would be a cool feature. You don't need to use it if you don't want.
