A new website will suffer the same fate eventually. The best solution I’ve seen is CKAN for kerbal space program mods. Each mod just hosts its own releases for free on github or wherever they like, and the whole mod index is just another github repo.

It’s possible I misremembered and got the apk from their website or github. Doesn’t change anything though.
I just went back though my emails, I got a reply email from their CTO promising to look into it and they would get back to me, but they never did.
Dark Souls has a good tutorial because it lets you skip it? That’s your bar for a good tutorial?
Souls games are terrible at even explaining what the buttons do. Every blind lets play I’ve seen it is like 30 minutes before the player even discovers they have estus or what it is for.

If you just have to talk from many devices to the one server sure, but Tailscale sure makes it easy for many to many. Also if a direct connection is impossible (e.g. firewall of china, CGNAT etc) tailscale puts a relay server in the middle for you.
I can’t. I tried it first and installed it on my phone from f-droid. After opening it up, it connected to an already existing network with other people’s old machines from years ago on it. I was horrified.
So then I tried to delete my whole account and couldn’t due to an error. I sent them an email about it and they took like two weeks to respond.
I was a bit cheesed too, but it’s been umpteen billion years since then and you can grab l4d2 for about $2. It’s time to let go.
Obra dinn too
OP asks for “nothing too hard” and you recommend spelunky, you absolute monster.
Punchflat is good, but i’ts a bit of a cpu and ram hog when indexing. I had to disable it because it kept bringing the server to it’s knees, but if you have more ram headroom you’ll prob be fine.
There is no list. Nethackathon is for nethack. I’m asking for other suggestions which might work for their own, completely independent events.
Personally I can’t imagine a story based game being fun for this kind of event.
Scheduling availability for people is way easier with set times, 2 hours each, rather than tying it into game progression.
You can’t really “lose” in elden ring, it’s just a steady slog towards the end, so it might be less interesting. All of our highlight reels are full of permadeaths and mishaps, “winning” barely even makes the cut. Terraria in hardcore mode could be interesting though.
I don’t get that vibe from the comment. If those games are your jam, go nuts. It would be nice to have a co op mode of an extraction shooter though so I can play with my friends in a less brutal environment.
An announcement of an announcement of a game. Perhaps I shouldn’t have written this comment, instead I should have made an announcement that in 20 days I will announce the date at which I will write a comment in response to this announcement of an announcement.
In the case of KSP, mod authors themselves submit Pull Requests to update the index when they release a new mod or a new version of it.
