cut firewood for 3 hours this morning, not used to that manual labor, holding chainsaws up all over the place. got tons of crap in my eyes, where does that crap go when it goes in your eyes? probably ends up with all the socks you lose in the dryer and the other thong you see on the beach.

we live in a small town, pretty much away from larger towns and centres. just found out daughter of town member and their partner who raced home from london have this lovely virus. so the bloody virus has travelled from one of the worlds premier cities to the other side of the world and into our bottom of the planet, out the back of nowhere township.

what's a video game I can play? I'm no gamer, never have been, I get motion sickness these days from most games, can't shoot straight & drive like an idiot.
Something like Age of Empires or similar.
Something you start, can save and come back to would be good. -

What aspects of gaming do you like? I love point and click adventure games that tell a story.

I'll answer that by saying that in the last 20 years I've played Monster Truck Madness and Age of Empires 1, (didn't know there was a 2). That's it.
I've played most of my games on VGA screens.

Looking at repacing my NAS (home) and various options now that the computing requirements have changed in the house.

AoE2 was the big one. AoE1 was good, but basically a flash in the pan. They made it and 1-2 years later replaced it with the massively upgraded AoE2. AoE2 remained their flagship for the next two decades. They made big changes and made AoE3 which was a huge failure, it wasn't a tweak like it should have been but rather a wholly different game that sucked (or at least was very different so people who liked AoE2 weren't happy.) AoE2 is basically the original game with upgraded graphics, networking, bigger everything, more options, but all the same basics.
Finally, due to the crazy popularity of AoE2, they rebuilt it, then rebuilt AoE1. So both are still available, fully modernized, while still being the original games.

@siringo quote from Steam reviews... "While AoE 1 isn't a masterpiece like AoE 2, it's still a great game with very solid mechanics."
AoE2 is like chess, it's the perfect game of its genre. I wonder if RTS will ever see a game as finally tuned as AoE2 was.
Much of NTG's early history was built on AoE2 game nights.

I did a bunch of plex maintenance and content updates this weekend, too. I run it on Ubuntu 16 using a VM on ESXi 6.0, on a Dell r710 with about 30tb of storage. I share my plex with several of my family members and a few close friends which is why it's a little over-engineered.
