Yeah, sadly I agree.

I jumped on there six weeks or so ago (before I re-joined here on Lemmy) and was taken by the lovely UI, and it does…work. But there’s some gaps like this. Still, it can be better than the alternative, which is always something to encourage.

But, I totally agree.

I do!

I’ll be back home in a couple of hours, and I’ll come back to this comment to edit :)

Well this is just damned sweet of you!

Glad my rambling nonsense has helped! :)

Glad you enjoy them!!!

Here are the links to the previous few news posts I wrote up:

The last ‘week’ (part 3) is here

The one before that (part 2), is here with this link

And the very first (part 1) - which is not formatted and rather rough!!!

(and thank you, SO much for saying so!)

You’re very kind!

This one is the mixiest of mixed bags of news-y things I found. Literally no theming this week!

Oh thank you so much!

Its a lot of fun to me. This one (ironically) I feel like I did the bare minimum.

I’ve been nursing a sore shoulder all week which put my work (red team - penetration tester) and fun (gaming / any typing) into the category of ‘I’d better do as little of it as possible to rest the arm’

So…its really nice to hear that even this - where I stopped myself writing 19719161 words instead of 6 - is a nice read for some!

Thank you!

The user discovered a bug, where anyone could apply games to their account, without buying or paying. He ended up notifying Steam (after he applied games to his account).

To them, like all bug hunt payments, the cost of what they gave him in the end ($4K) was nothing compared to the damage of that being shared - they get everlasting good press over it; good will, and they close the bug. So the $4,000 is alongside keeping the games he’d applied to his account.

Sorry, I could have worded that better! It’s on me for poor phrasing. English is not my native language, sometimes I can explain poorly.

I can do!

I’ve been doing so for the last one (this is, after all only my third!)…but I’ll link the past ones as I go from here on!

Then it looks like you’ll be the perfect one to try this new unlocked FPS build of Abuse! You can give a true ‘impression’ on how you found it :)

And thank you for saying so!

Exactly what I’m trying to do!

Thanks, glad it fits in well enough here <3

It was the winner of the Summer (or was it Winter?) Sale prize of 2012. They got every game released up until the competition’s date - and yes, this link is a screenshot of it!

Hey, you’re welcome!

Glad you enjoyed some of it :)

Let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy :)

It can, but you’ve got to find the people passionate about it who will make that happen.

These tools are out there now, and others may see how its been done and try use the same technique for other games. Time will tell!

There’s a thread on restera which details every game which is focused on right now - for decompilation projects. Its in this link here:

“I like to have an index of the decompilations that are being worked on, so here it is. I will try to keep this updated regularly. Also i consider a project as “active” if there have been updates in the past 6 months”

It’s a great resource to save and bookmark!!!

Now this has been done, the team have made the tools available to learn from. I’ve seen a lot of users in forums talking about how they’re planning to tackle other games from the same gen of gaming, so…I’d say given some time we’ll have a good chance of a lot of games getting the same treatment!!!

Honestly, I have no idea! I was on Lemmy years ago, but only just returned a few days ago, so I’m still re-learning the ropes :)

And thank you for saying so! I have a blast writing these. I plan to do it weekly, so I guess subscribe to this community, and you should see it (hopefully) in just under a week’s time!

You could just follow me on Mastodon too, if that’s easier. I’m sure I’ll direct people over to it when the time comes to post another:

If you’re happy with EmuDeck, and how it performs/where it stores things…then by all means stick to it! There’s no need to abandon one for another. You can always just try RetroDECK, if you have a micro SD card its even handier that way as it will install there. Watch this, just so you’ve got a good idea of things!

As to uninstalling, if you’re dead-set and serious about removing it entirely, then I’m happy to help you via DM if you’d like? It can store data in so many different places, which really made me so cross. I know the spots though, happy to take you through it step-by-step if you’d like. I’m here, and on Mastodon, and Matrix if any of those places work best for you (and, if you do need help!)
