This looks cool. So they never get a local copy of the game file, it always stays on my server side I think? It also seems to say that the system saves are not available yet but coming soon, which means if they were to play one day and pick it up a week later their progress would be reset; is that correct?

Hello all! I have never selfhosted before, but I have a pretty extensive digital library of videogames (ROMs from a couple dozen retro systems among other executables) that my friends have expressed interested in having access. What's the ideal software for giving them access to the library hosted on my drives? I'm picturing something like a selfhosted Steam where they see all of the games and can search via retro system, game tags, by name, etc. and each of could keep track of separate user accounts by playtime, favorites, recently played, etc. I use RetroArch and a few standalone emulators myself connected to RetroAchievements, so I figured they would need to download any emulators on their ends and then just pick and play the games as they see fit without having to have their own copies of the games.

"Your house and electrical wiring is yours, and you have the right to do with it what you want. That said, we highly recommend you leave it to professionals."

This is not mixed messaging, this is just advice. Mixed messaging would be something along the lines of: "Your house and electrical wiring is yours, and you have the right to do with it what you want. That said, you are not allowed to do what you want." Mixed messaging colloquially means contradictory statements.

This isn't true, you're spreading misinformation. Dick Cheney is actually a lich*.

Likely not, the whole point of hydraulics is that the fluid is non-compressible!
