Pirate here. I used playnite for like a week before realizing it's dumb to have a launcher for pirated games. Only real benefit is playtime tracking but I just stopped giving a shit. Plus some games have that info in the save file menu. I couldn't get achievements to work properly. Oh well. It just felt like bloat so I uninstalled

When I can have everything on my taskbar or on Steam, there's no need for desktop icons.
>>
>>724947363
I just think the idea of installing an external program just because you're not ok with having a shortcut to the game .exe in a folder somewhere is a bit silly
>>
>>724947525
Agreed, but that doesn't apply to me, only faggots like OP.
>>
I installed it mostly to keep track of past games & play hours that I dont have on steam. But the app is pretty retarded on its own, especially for not being able to click and drag your games, which feels like it should have been added from the start
>>
>>724947924
I originally installed it for doujin games on my laptop so w/e if you just use Steam big picture mode

90% of my porn games aren't on Steam.
>>
>>724952383
its basically just a cleaner way of putting all your game shortcuts in a folder, i get it.
unironically, windows 10's start menu was very good for this, missing it quite a lot since i unfortunately upgraded
>>
>>724951602
yes, it is

I remember using Launchbox about 7 years ago maybe, maybe 6
I liked how easy it was to just add ROMs and have them automagically download anything I would want it to add like cover art, but it was slow as shite. And the paid version wasn't great either.
Nowadays I don't give two fucks about launchers. I simply cannot bother. Back then I had the time to select which ROMs I would keep from each set.
>>
The very only reason I use a launcher for pirated games on linux is because I cannot expect the default WINE prefix to be setup properly for every .exe file I click on. Otherwise that's what I would fucking do. Hell I do that with RPG maker games since there's a dedicated tool for it. Except for the Deck. The idea of having a fullscreen launcher on the Deck is appropriate, on a PC it seems stupid.
>>
>>724937413
I need a launcher that let me filter tags through tags for porn games and let me track their status (unplayed, playing, finished, 100%)
Doesn't need to be automatic, just let me set flags or something

I assume PlayNite can do all of that?
