Fair play with taking the time to learn nix, currently tinkering with it and this stuff is no joke. Wish it wasn’t a DSL

Thanks hope you like it.

It parses files from different launchers like Steam or Bottles preaent on your system, and when the game is selected, it will spawn the command for launching the game directly via e.g. a steam command to launch that specific game ID. It doesn’t interact with desktop shortcuts in any way if that’s what you mean, though that is how it started

Thanks!

To be completely honest, I probably won’t use it again, at least for a while. While it’s nice to work with most of the time, I ran into a lot of weird niche issues that I had to either work around or come up with some hack to achieve the same effect, which was unfortunate. As a random example, trying to scroll to the top of the document every time a state was changed would not trigger the scroll consistently, making it pretty useless.

For a site like this, it would probably have been easier to just use a JS framework, or finally go and learn htmx

Definitely not, Civ 5 and Skyrim are still my highest play times and they’re not there. Not to mention many of those games I’ve played only a handful of hours

Not sure how Steam orders the games actually but yes, amazing game and definitely in my top 5 (with mods of course)

Ty 🙏 I find I usually know what game I actually want to play, and just typing in that name to filter for it lets me mostly ignore other games and not feel bad for avoiding them lol

Np hope you get as much use out of it as I do

Awesome, hope you like it (and it works lol). It’s easy to install on Arch as I created an AUR package but a bit more involved for other distros, as you’ll need to clone the repo and use just to install. I should probably look into releases with the plugin file already compiled…

Yeah good idea, might cross post to !linux_gaming@lemmy.world
