Oh how fun, you shared the same comment on two posts. Here's the same reply I left on your other one:

Hi there!

I'm the author. Not only have I chatted to Voices, but I did an AMA with Dodi, organized the same with FitGirl (which didn't actually happen), and even chatted to Empress. Which...wasn't very fun. I've interviewed KaOs and also the gentleman behind Ghost eShop for jailbroken Switches. This is just to say I know the scene, and I know the people.

*Denuvo has been almost universally cracked since the start of this year, author sounds pretty out of date to be talking as if this is a recent development.*

Seems there was *about* 20 games released this year with Denuvo. Voices has changed the scene a lot, but he can only do so much. Now he's using A.I. to help with his process this is speeding up a ton, but he cannot possibly keep up with 'demand' as it were. I found four he's done, for 2026 releases:

• Resident Evil Requiem (February 2026)

• PRAGMATA (April 2026)

• LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight (May 2026)

• 007 First Light (May 2026)

It certainly hasn't been "universally cracked". It will get quicker, but it is still an effort. One game every two weeks or so at the moment.

*universally cracked*

This is not only a stretch, it isn't true. The fun thing is that he *has* cracked 2026's build, and then their updated build, then a day one release. From a technical POV, it is super interesting to see.

How did I know you'd be mentioning RomM :P

One day you might have time!!!

Thank you! I'm glad there is this strong core group of projects and devs who both support and love the Steam Deck, so long after release!

If you're curious to hear more from the teams, I've interviewed all except Unifideck (some many times!) over the last few years. You can find those by filtering with my author link on the site, or with this tag:

If you *ever* run into an issue (you won't now though, that's for sure), feel free to message me on here. I'm always happy to help!

Yep, totally fine and safe :)


No glaring issues!

You *might* have to reinstall a plugin, but I've only seen that issue literally once. It only happens if that plugin is dependent on being on the beta channel.

Once you switch back to stable, just restart your Steam Deck and it'll be good to go!

No data loss or anything awful. But if it helps, I'll check in with my friend on Decky and get his confirmation before you do :)

Here's my tip (being friends with the Decky team, and having reported on them/interviewed them for a long time now!)

When you install Decky, stay on the stable branch.

When there is a update for the Steam Deck, wait a few hours until Decky have their update, install that first.

*Every single complaint* about Decky is totally fixed with these two dead-simple actions.

Then grab SteamGridDB and change all your game art (that's my fav plugin!)

^ the man, the myth, the legend

I remember when I used to write ridiculously long and detailed guides on Steam Deck things, *so many people* asked me to do the same for installing and tweaking Windows for the Deck! I don't begrudge anyone who wants to install and use it, but it sure isn't my scene. Or recommendation.

Or if you do, plz look into O&O ShutUp 10+11

Come back and share how you found it, once you have!

*Well, **Im** **a** sorry if I offended you*

*like someone working **of** an AI generated transcript*

Can I just point out the insane irony of someone critiquing my writing when they can't spell? This would be hilarious if it wasn't so painful.


Of *course* you offended me. I'm a writer, and you said that I didn't write it. It's disgusting.

The funny thing (well, funny to me anyway) is that someone shared my article on Reddit, and it has been viewed so far 261K times. It has 918 upvotes and 89 comments. And do you know how many of *them* thought this was written by A.I.?

*Zero.*

Being a writer, a comment like yours is not only insulting, but dangerous to me. It also makes me really sad. So thanks.

I used to adore the en dash and em dash. If I see writing I did and submitted around with articles and guides from like three years ago, they're all through it. But then GPT boomed and I couldn't be bothered dealing with the allegations. Ironically, those claims *still* haunt me.

It can be so exhausting that we need to do this to appear human now. It can just be heartbreaking!

What the absolute fuck.

No. Jesus. What the hell? I've been writing on here for a *long* time. And I'm not A.I.

So gross.

In fact, tiny edit here. The moderator of this community will speak for me, I've been writing things for this space for a long time now. More than that I'm more than happy for you to come and join our discord if you'd like. I have friends in there like the former lead tech writing for Forbes, or the guy who *owns* the site who will speak for me and what I write.

I hate this shit. The mere face we can write and this whole new scene of A.I. replicating writers' work and *then* it is doubted and we have to deal with this is the worlds' most exhausting nonsense to deal with.

The invite remains, join our discord. There's plenty of devs and journalists who will attest to me being on the level.
