- Comment on DeckyHub Offers An Easy Way To Get Plugins That Aren’t On The Official Store 1 week ago:
" including lengthy review processes"
The Decky team makes sure plug-ins are safe by testing things themselves, how terrible. They just added more to their review team too. Again, these are humans who are reviewing plug-ins themselves
“prohibiting AI use in plugin creation”
False. As it stands, devs submitting to Decky have to tick that “Generative AI was NOT used to write a majority of the code I am submitting.” which means that it can be used to assist. They asked the community some time ago what to do with AI going forward, and this was their result
“and disagreements between plugin creators on Discord.”
Oh right, that asshole from like two years ago who was a racist jerk in the Decky sub-reddit. The one who also got banned from the r/SteamDeck sub-reddit soon after for promoting his slop so aggressively?
…feel free to use DeckyHub if you want something vibe coded with Claude. I wouldn’t trust anything unverified being installed onto your Deck.
- Comment on DroidDeck 0.6.9 · Dual-screen handheld support 1 week ago:
At the moment, I don’t think there’s any one option which is better than the other. GameNative has been on the scene for some time now, so the benefit is months upon months of refinement! DroidDeck however has only been around for a little over one month now. Their team has a ton of experience with similar projects, but as a whole this one is quite new.
The interesting thing (to me at least) is that the Retroid Pocket Duo which I reviewed not so long ago wouldn’t work at all with GameNative, but would work a dream with DroidDeck.
- Both projects make use of AI to assist, but DroidDeck more-so than GameNative.
- I use both, because as it stands each can work when one won’t
- GameNative has a couple handheld manufacturers paying attention and working with them for native builds for specific devices, while DroidDeck hasn’t got that
I think while they’re similar, they do different things. GN focuses on making the games themselves playable while DroidDeck gives you the entire Steam interface.

Oh gosh, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to give that impression!!!
Thankfully if there’s a group of devs who I would consider the least likely to buy into that side of things, it is the RetroDECK team :)

Not to dilute the point of your post, but I interviewed each team member then wrote this feature article on DroidDeck, if you’re interested :)
- Comment on Is Denuvo's Dominance Finally Beginning to Crack? A New Linux-Based Breakthrough Suggests It Might Be 3 months ago:
Oh how fun, you shared the same comment on two posts. Here’s the same reply I left on your other one:
Hi there!
I’m the author. Not only have I chatted to Voices, but I did an AMA with Dodi, organized the same with FitGirl (which didn’t actually happen), and even chatted to Empress. Which…wasn’t very fun. I’ve interviewed KaOs and also the gentleman behind Ghost eShop for jailbroken Switches. This is just to say I know the scene, and I know the people.
Denuvo has been almost universally cracked since the start of this year, author sounds pretty out of date to be talking as if this is a recent development.
Seems there was about 20 games released this year with Denuvo. Voices has changed the scene a lot, but he can only do so much. Now he’s using A.I. to help with his process this is speeding up a ton, but he cannot possibly keep up with ‘demand’ as it were. I found four he’s done, for 2026 releases:
- Resident Evil Requiem (February 2026)
- PRAGMATA (April 2026)
- LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight (May 2026)
- 007 First Light (May 2026)
It certainly hasn’t been “universally cracked”. It will get quicker, but it is still an effort. One game every two weeks or so at the moment.
universally cracked
This is not only a stretch, it isn’t true. The fun thing is that he has cracked 2026’s build, and then their updated build, then a day one release. From a technical POV, it is super interesting to see.

Thank you! I’m glad there is this strong core group of projects and devs who both support and love the Steam Deck, so long after release!
If you’re curious to hear more from the teams, I’ve interviewed all except Unifideck (some many times!) over the last few years. You can find those by filtering with my author link on the site, or with this tag:

- Comment on The worst timeline 7 months ago:
I remember when I used to write ridiculously long and detailed guides on Steam Deck things, so many people asked me to do the same for installing and tweaking Windows for the Deck! I don’t begrudge anyone who wants to install and use it, but it sure isn’t my scene. Or recommendation.
Or if you do, plz look into O&O ShutUp 10+11

Well, Im a sorry if I offended you
*like someone working of an AI generated transcript
Of course you offended me. I’m a writer, and you said that I didn’t write it. It’s disgusting.
The funny thing (well, funny to me anyway) is that someone shared my article on Reddit, and it has been viewed so far 261K times. It has 918 upvotes and 89 comments. And do you know how many of them thought this was written by A.I.?
Zero.
Being a writer, a comment like yours is not only insulting, but dangerous to me. It also makes me really sad. So thanks.
- Comment on RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update 9 months ago:
I used to adore the en dash and em dash. If I see writing I did and submitted around with articles and guides from like three years ago, they’re all through it. But then GPT boomed and I couldn’t be bothered dealing with the allegations. Ironically, those claims still haunt me.
It can be so exhausting that we need to do this to appear human now. It can just be heartbreaking!

No. Jesus. What the hell? I’ve been writing on here for a long time. And I’m not A.I.
So gross.

You’ll be thinking of my good friend Gardiner, whose YouTube channel is well known!
But no, I just write on his site. I used to contribute to a bunch of sites and spaces you might know, but these days I only share articles on his site.
And thank you! I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed this one :)
