What games did you complete this year?
Back on the other website, there used to be a sub called r/12in12 where people would try to beat 12, 24, 36+ games per year. I never really set myself any specific target like that, but the end of year reviews were always fun to read/write.

[SOLVED] TrueNAS scale VMs unable to see/connect to the host and vice versa
