I have Alan Wake and Alan Wake's American Nightmare on Gog and Alan Wake II. All of which I realy want to play, along with soooooo many other games. But I don't feel I can start them as I need to be able to play them regularly otherwise I forget stuff and it's too disjointed. That's why I smash out the shorter games I can find, ones I can finish in a few hours or a day or two at most.

I have a problem, that once I really get stuck into a game I need to finish it unless its something I can easily jump in and out of for short bursts. If its a game that needs more I can't help my self and I will play all day every day until I finish it. You can ask Eben. He doesn't really like to play games with me as I'll make him play marathon sessions and call him weak if he wants to stop for the night or needs a break - hahaha I'm pretty ruthless when it comes to playing games with him. It goes way back to GTA San Andreas, he may share that story with you in private, but then again he may not!

As for puzzle games, I just love them for some reason! But then I do love puzzles in general, I had a collection of puzzles that I had at school when I was teaching that I'd pull out during tutor time or in class towards the end of term when we were finished with our unit of work. I have since given them to my aunty who teaches intermediate, she had her own collection for the same use case, but was grateful to have more to add to her collection. I have kept a few and they are in storage awaiting the day I can pull them out again and play with, like my Xbox 360 and retro consoles I got while we were in teh US visiting my sister years ago!

Yeah, I get your point on walkthroughs. Every now and then I need help or guidance on a puzzle in a game, and I can understand the pull to just keep using it. But I love being able to solve something that's really go me stuck, it's my way of getting an endorphine hit in games. Nothing more satisfying that solving a damn puzzle you've been at for hours or days in some cases if they're really tricky or just don't quite make sense straight away.

But yeah, they aren't for everybody and I can see how they could be just too frustrating or boring for some. It's a genre you have to actually like as well as being a sucker for punishment at times.

I just finished Tested on Humans: Escape Room last night. I enjoyed it, but then I do love puzzle games.

Next up will most likely be one of the other Escape Room games, or I may go back to playing some Freshly Frosted, or start playing Alan Wake on Gog. Heck I may get a bit crazy and play one of my Steam games - Creepy Tale: Some Other Place, Slender Threads or one of the Rusy Lake games I have.

I keep forgetting that I have Steam on there and a bunch of Steam games. All my time is spent in Junk Store testing and playing my Epic and Gog libraries! It gest so bad that sometimes I forget how Steam works!

Hopefully, one of these days I can tear Eben away from working on Junk Store long enough to get back to playing Borderlands 2 or some of the DLC from Borderlands! I have a sinking feeling I'll be waiting a very long time! At least I have a healthy backlog to keep me busy in the mean time!

Posted my response below to a similar comment in our discord server. Wanted to repost it here as I thought it was also relevant.

Thank you for the feedback.

While the GOG extension information was available on our website, we acknowledge it hadn’t been clearly highlighted. We’ve now made the full Decky-related content live on the site. It took us a bit longer than planned to migrate everything from the old site and the current wiki, as we wanted to ensure nothing was lost or overlooked in the process.

Before pushing it live, we took the time to review and check all content to make sure links were working, the information was accurate, and everything was easy to read and navigate. Our aim has been to bring everything together in one clear, accessible place.

That said, the same information has remained available and actively shared throughout - via our community wiki, in weekly Games Tested posts on Reddit, and through Discord. We understand it might not have been obvious to everyone, and that’s on us. We’re now working to make sure this kind of info is more consistently surfaced across all platforms, especially the main site.

Please also keep in mind that there are only two of us working on this project - and as you can imagine, we’re stretched pretty thin. While our developer focuses on building and improving Junk Store itself, I’ve been handling everything else: site updates, documentation, community support, and general project coordination. It’s been a steep learning curve, especially since my background is actually in high school teaching - specifically PE, Health, and Outdoor Ed.

We genuinely appreciate the feedback and are always looking to improve how we communicate and present information. If anything is still unclear or hard to find, we’d love to hear about it. Your input helps us ensure users don’t miss important updates, and that we’re growing in the right direction.

I'm still putting it up on our sub-reddit, I'm just linking directly to your Lemmy posts! Need to keep spreading the word about these awesome posts! Also this way maybe more people will join Lemmy!
