My go-to is Vampire Survivors! Default runs are 30 minutes long but you can make them as short as 15 iirc all the way to endless. Mindless enough that you can zone out but you can get more involved if you want.

As per the documentation, pools are basically just resource groups to make permission management easier, so they aren't really supposed to handle anything like that. Maybe look into a RAID setup of some sort or mergerfs if you just need file level pooling.

I've always wanted something like that, very cool!
Any plans to incorporate customizable cloud saves? I'm envisioning listing files and registry keys, maybe fetch a starting point off PCGW to give users an idea of what to expect and whatnot.
Linux client support would be great too, the Steam Deck could make great use of this.

Always sad to witness folks losing their jobs, but I guess we all saw this coming. Here's hoping they all manage to land on their feet.
That said, I have to wonder what that second game was going to be about. Codename "It's Magic", probably something involving Gandalf or another Wizard? 🤔

Ohh so that's what it was lol, I'd assumed it was auto saving at first as well but got confused when it didn't seem to generate an actual new save slot. At any rate, I reckon it's a good thing it was generous enough that I didn't even register it had limits in place to begin with.

Looking forward to the crew interactions too, seems ripe for a fun time since the game doesn't take itselt too seriously and they all look interesting and seem to have fun abilities.

I've played several, mostly games I've been following so no huge surprises. My highlights were:

Lies of P
Great soulslike built on a grim take on Pinocchio. Borrows a lot from Bloodborne, oppressive and interesting world, satisfying combat.

Sea of Stars
Super charming JRPG I've been looking forward to for a while, great pixel art, fun combat system with timed hits, great music.

LunarLux
Very similar to a Mega Man Battle Network game, but combat leans more towards the turn based side of the spectrum. Has some Undertale influences as well. The art being as cute as it is might turn some off, but it's a plus for myself.

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew
Strategy game from the folks behind Shadow Tactics and Desperados. You control undead pirates with unique and fun abilities, and the game encourages you to rewind time as needed to experiment and play around.

Honorable mentions go to Eternights and Viewfinder. Fantastic games all around, the following months are looking great!

Wow, that's incredible. Thanks for sharing!

I hadn't caught that, nice! Super glad they're finally branching out a bit more anyhow, looks pretty solid.

Those are crazy high scores even taking into account my already high expectations, dang. The wait until it comes to PC is going to be extra excruciating this time around...
