Hey! Figured I haven’t posted this on Lemmy before so should be OK to share here in case anyone else finds this cool/interesting.

This is a rofi plugin for launching your games, simple as that. I built it both because I think it looks cool and to make launching the game I know I want to play faster (no need to navigate the dreaded Steam UI). It parses games from several sources, such as Steam, Heroic Games Launcher, Lutris and Bottles, as well as some modded Minecraft instances (check out the readme for instructions).

The repo can be found here, and there’s an AUR package available for Arch users.

Let me know what you think! I haven’t built all that much but this my favourite tool that I’ve created (I am addicted to games).

    Sweet. Kenshi is #3. What a gem of a game that is.

      Not sure how Steam orders the games actually but yes, amazing game and definitely in my top 5 (with mods of course)

        Considering the types of games I am seeing, I’m assuming it’s ordered by playtime.

          Definitely not, Civ 5 and Skyrim are still my highest play times and they’re not there. Not to mention many of those games I’ve played only a handful of hours
