I have a medium end gaming PC with 64gb of ram and a decent (aging) 5700xt. My favorite PC game right now is Hades 😎
I like the graphics of new games, but every time I try to play one I have to agree to a 50 page privacy policy and/or create a new account. I usually just cancel that and go back to my classic games that you just open and start playing.
Personally I wouldn’t worry too much about where you mount the volume, I use /storage on my boxes because I is easy to remember and sounds good to me. I also typically make a storage group that I give access to manage the files in the volume vs having my user own everything.
I wouldn’t put it in home just because you are considering sharing with others.
