About this episode

Episode 97 of The Indie-Credible Podcast, an indie gaming podcast, is back with another week of early indie releases, new indie releases, community recommendations, aftermarket games, and everything happening across the indie gaming scene. This week, Kyle's Trials brings us an interesting Switch 2 Special Edition. It's the first limited-edition release we've picked up from a limited physical publisher on Switch 2, but is it actually complete on the cartridge? Ironically, Jeff isn't planning to collect Switch 2 LEs... but when it's a Zelda-like/Metroidvania, the rules apparently become a little flexible. Steam Deck Streaming Artwork FixJeff also tackles an annoying problem with his Steam Deck setup: blank artwork for streaming games.We talk about the solution, getting custom artwork working again, and the rabbit hole that comes with trying to make a massive digital collection actually look good.
