I’ve been lucky to interview a lot of my friends over the last few years now; developers from plenty of projects, programs and apps. But this is one I’ve been looking forward to sharing for a long time now!
I interviewed the team behind Decky Loader, all about their history and work keeping it running.
If you don’t know, Decky Loader is (from my own article):
…[an] indispensable little tool that turns a brand-new Deck from ‘fun handheld console’ into a full-blown customization powerhouse. From adding plugins to tweaking the interface, Decky Loader quietly powers a lot of the creativity and convenience that Deck owners have come to take for granted.
Download it, and you can customize the heck out of how your Steam Deck looks and functions, by community-made plugins.
Anyway, I’m quite proud of this one, and really grateful that they all took the time to chat to me to make this one happen. If you’re at all interested in development, Steam Decks, open-source, or just gaming in general, then I think you’ll enjoy this one too!


An easy mistake to make!
You’ll be thinking of my good friend Gardiner, whose YouTube channel is well known!
But no, I just write on his site. I used to contribute to a bunch of sites and spaces you might know, but these days I only share articles on his site.
And thank you! I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed this one :)
Back in the mid-to-late 90s I ran a little games website and we used to email and chat with game devs and publish interviews like these. Great to see that’s still going on!
That sounds super interesting!
Also makes me sad that all that has disappeared now to time. I’d love to have seen it :(
