What are you all playing! I’ve been playing a lot of lies of p and have been dipping my toes back into binding of Isaac!

    The sleep function is pretty nice, but I like to swap games relatively frequently; so being able to save frequently is still critical for me. Plus at the time, I was just playing on my personal computer, so I couldn’t leave it running, even if I wanted to.

    For P5R, I suggest only playing for an hour or a two at a time; I think it helps keep the game from dragging. For me, it helped keep the exploration aspect fun since I didn’t have to rush to the end since I was probably not getting there in this sitting anyways.

        That’s pretty cool. Does it let you pause games indefinitely while playing other games, or does it just initiate a pause while you’re on the home screen, etc?

          From the README:

          A Steam Deck plugin for the Decky Plugin Loader that makes it possible to pause and resume games even for those that don’t have an immediate pause option.

          Useful for when you wish to temporarily suspend an application in order to redirect the cpu and gpu ressources to another without having to close it.

          Since used RAM and VRAM won’t be able to be recovered from paused apps you might look into tweaking your swapfile to make things smoother: https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities

          It sends the SIGSTOP signal to all the children of the reaper process to stop the execution and SIGCONT to resume them. (Signal (IPC))
