Junk Store Tested - January 21, 2026
G’day Everyone!
I’m back down in Papamoa for the week helping my parents out with a few things, heading back up on Monday. The weather here in NZ has been absolutely shocking this week. Not much of a summer happening at the moment, and it looks set to stick around until late in the week. Fingers crossed for some warm sunny days next week so we can all dry out! On the bright side, being stuck indoors means plenty of time for testing. I’ll be taking full advantage of my parents’ super fast and stable internet to get cracking on as many games as I can handle.
Housekeeping Notes
A few quick updates before we dive into the games:
- Decky Loader + 2.0 Conflict: If running both together, use the TEST channel build. It’s the same stable build, just packaged without a component that conflicts with Decky (since Decky already includes it). We’re using the TEST channel to keep it separate and easy to distinguish.
- Extended Trials: Trials for Junk Store 2.0 have been extended to 21 days for the rest of the month. Plenty of time to test everything out and see if it works for your setup.
- GOG Extension: New version (v0.1.11) now available on the Junk Store Portal with LSFG support. All Patreon/Ko-fi supporters have been migrated — sign in with your original email to access.
- LSFG-VK Support: Now built into Junk Store with easy toggles. No need to manually add environment variables. Find it under the Proton Config menu (change the dropdown to “All”). You may need to try different Proton versions to find one that works for your game. More info →
