The goal is to re-create the "blockbuster night" experience of renting games.

We're trying to break the older kid out of a pattern of obsessive and occasionally violent behaviors around access to specific games.

One of the strategies we're trying for that is providing a rotating selection of games that are available for checkout, but only for one week at a time, and never for two weeks in a row (in addition to a much smaller number of games that they always have access to, or that are available every week to "rent".)

If I can nail the format of the flash drives and the configuration of retroarch or whatever, we can use this setup to encourage a more healthy, slow paced, and intentional relationship with tech.
