Install Heroic. Log into GOG account from Heroic. Go into settings and click “automatically add games to Steam”. Click install. Click launch. Cross your fingers.
- Comment on Exclusive: Microsoft’s 2027 Xbox could be a huge shift for the platform 1 week ago:
The idea is simple but bold. The next Xbox would run a TV‑first console interface by default, but underneath, it’s essentially a full Windows machine capable of running Xbox titles
So pretty much what we all expected?

But Google and Apple are always reassuring us that sideloading can’t be allowed because they can’t protect us with their app stores!

- Comment on Spent more time looking for a game than actually playing one? Help me test Gamescovery, a recommendation engine built for your actual taste. 3 weeks ago:
authentication and validation system by myself.
Why is this necessary at all?
Your personal data, login, email, password, etc., are stored on the servers of the game store, so I don’t need to worry about securing this data and other legal stuff.
Most gamers already have an account in one or more popular game stores, so they don’t need to register one more.
You also don’t need to worry about this if there’s no account to speak of.
Connecting my account to your site gives you access to large amounts of personal information, even if you’re not using it. And I’m not okay with that.

Then I don’t understand why you need the account?

I just thought Discord is quite popular among gamers
It is, and like most things that are popular, it’s horrendous.
I need an account to be able to record what games you rated and what recommendations you currently have

do you mean without itch.io account (Steam, Epic, GOG
Yes.
would you prefer to register a new account on the Gamescovery webpage that is specific to Gamescovery?
No I would prefer not to have an account at all.
what platform suits you best in your opinion?
Lemmy/PieFed/Threadiverse. Or really anything open source, not corporate controlled, and not full of ads.

Let me know when you figure out how to do this without an account and without Discord.
- Comment on Goodbye to the idea that solar panels “die” after 25 years. A new study says the warranty does not mark the end, and real-world performance can last for decades 3 weeks ago:
Solar panels don’t “die” at all, they just slowly lose production over time.
- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 4 weeks ago:
Yes that was addressed in the comment you just replied to.
- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 4 weeks ago:
The SteamDeck also has a touchscreen.
The Steam Deck has touchpads because many games are optimized for keyboard and mouse, not touchscreens. Phone games are not.
Not saying you’re wrong, just that there’s not a lot of value to be added there, in my opinion.
especially if you take streaming into account
I suppose that’s a fair point.
The other consideration is that if you need those things, you can just connect a Steam Controller, and get one of those cheap phone mounts to attach to it. No need for a new product.
- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 4 weeks ago:
Because phones already have touchpads on the screen. And games you would play on a phone would be optimized accordingly.
I suppose it’s not impossible, I’m just not sure there is any useful innovation to be had in that area.
- Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!! 4 weeks ago:
The difference is each of those options from Valve offer things that traditional options do not. HDMI-CEC, trackpads, SteamOS, foveated streaming, etc.

FOSS just seems like such a fucking no-brainer for governments. Increase their own security, sovereignty, and affordability, while improving life and affordability for the general public, around the world even. It’s a damn shame they aren’t already heavily invested in it.
