Lol, gonna be honest, it would be pretty hard telling my friends about this awesome thing I learned about called Crackpipe.
That said, it's not really something I could do anyway. My ISP doesn't let me host servers, and they're the only ISP in my area without disgustingly draconian data limits.
Could you not use something like Tailscale to access it remotely?
Damn, a good point. I already use ZeroTier for this kind of stuff, I don't know why I never thought of that.
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.
Would’ve been a hundred times funnier to call it crackpot.
on crack of rock please. is.. is that enough?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong since I'm not familiar with all this, but would I be able to "upload and share" a game that I bought from GoG since GoG games are DRM free?
Yes. Just keep in mind that will likely break licensing for virtually any game you’ve legally purchased.
This looks nice!
Is this like a sonarr/radarr for games?
gamerr
Would have been a better name
Cool concept but the UI and icon designs are the turn-off for me. After I saw the screenshots and it was immediately no.
And I'm actually fine with the name, and I kinda see how it makes sense since its a pipe to your cracks (assuming pirated games...)
