• Tags no longer register and i've finally had it with galaxy 2.0. Any recommended alternatives?

  Playnite: The one with the most features and libraries available via addons and has a lot of options for customization. In my opinion the best one available for this purpose. Source: 5 months ago

• What tools do I install?

  As for my LGO, the only other app I've installed outside of the standard launcher was Playnite to consolidate all games into one place as Legion Space doesn't detect everything I have installed and I don't want to manage manually adding games to their launcher. Source: 5 months ago

• Steam Deck OLED

  Here is where I come in and recommend everyone check out Playnite: https://playnite.link/ When I care about supporting a developer or publisher and they offer their product on their own storefront DRM-free, I will often go there to buy. Or I buy from GoG which takes a smaller cut. Playnite lets me launch my Steam and non-Steam games in a seamless fashion. Steam still does a great job as a game installer/patch... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• PSA: Playnite Launcher has a "HDR Mode" per game!

  For anyone with any of the myriad of HDR monitors that prefers to leave desktop mode in SDR RGB, I just discovered that the excellent Playnite game launcher has a feature where you can enable HDR on a per-game basis. Simply tick the "Enable HDR support" option under "Advanced" tab for the settings of the games that you want HDR turned on for. I was previously using the now-abandoned AutoActions for this, so glad... Source: 7 months ago

• Don't sleep on Star Trek Resurgence!

  I'm sorry for the trouble your friends got with Epic, surely other storefronts have more options / are better, but in the end - aside from the occasional issue, it's just a launcher and personally I don't mind wether a game is on Steam, or on Epic or U-play or GoG. They're just launchers and I don't even see them thanks to Playnite which merges them all :-). Source: 10 months ago

• Don't sleep on Star Trek Resurgence!

  No, for PC it's on Epic. If you're concerned with another launcher, check Playnite which merges all of them and you don't even need to know which launcher is used in background :). Source: 10 months ago

  Playnite is a highly customizable, completely free video games library that acts as a hub for your games. In that way, it's similar to GOG Galaxy. However, Playnite comes with a lot more customization options. One of such options, which we care about for the purposes of this guide, is the ability to edit your playtime for any game. Once you've added a game to your library, you can edit its details, and in the... Source: 11 months ago

• Male Sorcerer transmogs are awful

  I don't think so, which is incredibly stupid and annoying since Diablo 3 was great at showing you all your characters' play time. We know that this game tracks it behind the scenes because if you die as a hardcore character it'll show you how much you played. In the meantime, best thing I know of is using the program Playnite which can track basically any kind of game across every platform (on PC), including... Source: 11 months ago
