  I switched from EmuDeck to RetroDeck, mainly because I wanted to sync everything between multiple computers using SyncThing and EmuDeck throws data everywhere (mainly due to using Flatpaks).

  I set up RetroDeck the way I wanted it and then I ran the installer for EmuDeck, choosing the option to uninstall (was a while back, my mind is hazy on the details). It actually did uninstall it, though I think I had to delete a couple directories. It was pretty cleanly uninstalled, from what I recall.

  Now I only have to sync one directory for RetroDeck, which also makes backups easy. The install also feels a lot more simple.

  The only issue with that is their prices go up if their costs go up. Kind of like how grocery stores claim that theft causes prices to go up. It is their money, though it does feel bad paying them.

  I haven’t done much for modding, but I did mod up Beat Saber recently with ModAssistant. What I did was add the ModAssistant exe file as a non-Steam game, then put this in the launch options: STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=“/home/[username]/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/620980” %command% The 620980 is the AppID for Beat Saber; you’d have to find it for each game. What this does it run the exe file in the same prefix as the game, which is good for making sure that any changes to ini files (etc) in AppData actually get written to the right spot. It worked great, no different than on Windows.

  I remember reading something about Japanese publishers using all caps because they don’t use case in their own language. Something like that.
