• I wrote an app for myself to filter my library by HLTB

  I've done something similar before with Playnite (an open-source PC game library manager), which has an HLTB plugin. Source: 7 months ago

• 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: 7 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: 7 months ago

• Login in to various stores when launching games

  Use playnite instead of the individual launchers. Source: 7 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 / 8 months ago

• ULPT: What are some unethical websites that you benefit from?

  My Abandonware (myabandonware.com) is a site that hosts... abandonware. Old PC games that have it's copyright either unenforceable or neglected and unprotected. This often happens when a company goes under, or a partial merger happens or something. A great example is Zoo Tycoon (the original game), or Lemmings. The only way to play these games "legitimately" is to buy a disc from a reseller, sometimes amazon. Source: 12 months ago

• help/Suggestions for getting old CD Rom games to work?

  The main game I am wanting to get running is Lego chess.... Or Aladin chess if Lego won't work. But on myabandonware.com it is listed as an ios. When I tried to use PC game wiki to get lego chess to work, it still did nothing. The computer would think, the install / exit program box would appear, but clicking it would do nothing. I tried Dosbox already, and maybe I did it wrong but It also did nothing... Source: about 1 year ago

• help/Suggestions for getting old CD Rom games to work?

  When it comes to DOS games, your best bet is to run them in a DOS emulator such as DOSBox, or DOSBox-X. With any luck your game might be on myabandonware.com, which sometimes has DOSBox embedded on the website itself - allowing you to play DOS games right from your web browser (not mobile).

• I heard the world record is 392km/h in this game, well here is my mazda rx8 with almost every special upgrade reaching 393km/h, no mods of course.

  It doesn't just look pretty fun, it is pretty fun, and it's on myabandonware.com :). Source: about 1 year ago

• Hello, i am totally new to dos gaming and need a bit of help.

  Myabandonware.com is a top favourite for abandonware DOS titles. There are plenty of games there you've gotta pay for through Steam, GOG or Zoom Platform (which has all the Duke Nukem stuff officially) but there are plenty of free older games on there too, that haven't been re-released in any form for some time.
