I'm not usually a fan of this type of 'real time' point and click game, they tend to stress me out and I forget what I'm supposed to be doing.
The excitement for it from so many people here have got me interested in giving it a shot though. No guarantee I'll finish it, but part of what I wanted from CGA was to find good games I'd have never played otherwise.

I played it off and on a lot as a kid and never made it terribly far before getting distracted by other games and restarting it months later (in retrospect this was probably the adhd). The quirky world and dual storyline stuck with me though. I think about it pretty frequently and this would be a great excuse for me to finally finish it and talk to other people about it. -

If there's a clear time to swap between the two that sounds like the better option.

In the 8 years I've been doing this I've only had a single problem with security and that was the fault of Valves "steam groups" being abused by some Chinese bots to hijack my L4D2 server. Should I be more worried about my game server security?

Retroachievements.org has sorta given me a nudge to start doing that, but having a small community here to talk about the games with could be nice. At the very least it would help me narrow down a specific game to play.
What's the range of games are you including? I'm not sure what range of game consoles that device plays, but I'm open to playing anything from NES up through gamecube/ps2.
Sorry for getting a little excited lol. Yes there's at least one person that would participate in this.

It's not as weird as discussions I've seen online lead me to believe but it's certainly one of the stranger anime I've ever watched. The awkward relationship between the main characters is cute. Though, It's something I'd have a hard time recommending to anybody that isn't already neck deep in weird anime. For anybody that has seen it, Turbo Granny is the best character and you can't change my mind.

He said the same thing about credit cards, cell phones, and home routers, but still had each of them. Iris scanners are a little too much for me, I just don't think very many Christians are going to push back on them on that basis if they're already used to everything else online.

Otherwise it is just used for text, calls, and email. I get constantly alerted by it to all these new 'features' I don't care about and would love to be able to tell it I'm not interested. Gemini is basically being advertised to me above my emails every morning.

The coop is chaotic and funny, mods fully supported by the devs, and a season selection mechanic so there's never any fomo on the current "new thing".

It will monitor your media folders and grab subtitles, in whatever languages you specify, for anything missing them. It also does a pretty good job of syncing the subs to the audio when that's needed.

Are you planning to keep a sign up list so we can see what everyone is playing? I just don't want to come in with a 30hr/500 check yaml if most people are playing something that's clearable in an afternoon.

If it's alright to have custom apworlds outside of the approved ones on the site I would like to run either Twilight Princess, Jak and Daxter, or mystery dungeon explorers of sky.
I had pretty much an identical experience with the index, except mine still sits collecting dust. After playing Alyx, I tried a bunch of different VR games and found stuff here and there that was enjoyable. Overall it was just hollow tech demo type experiences though. Even the VR versions of major games felt pretty low effort like VR was an afterthought and they never considered what it would feel like to be in actual VR gameplay. I know there's a lot of isolated experiences in VR that are really good for a few hours of fun but I have yet to see any game come close to feeling as complete as Half Life Alyx.
