About Zemew

What is Zemew?

A personal corner of the internet built from games, servers, experiments, ideas, and way too many late nights.

Guides, games, and community for builders and players.

About Zemew

The beginning

It started here

The Gamer Garage

This page began as a simple reference in the Gamer Garage, so my kids and their friends could look up the WiFi SSID and password before a LAN night. It picked up FAQs, then the links everyone kept asking for, and eventually that Gamer Garage page outgrew the garage and became Zemew.com for everyone to use and enjoy.

The home WiFi password did not make the move. If you're here hoping to join my network from the internet, bless your heart, not happening.

Yes, the Wi-Fi password stayed behind.

SSID: GamerGarage LAN
Password: P@$$W0rd

The first Gamer Garage page, more or less: a heading, the LAN Wi-Fi, and whatever notes were needed that night.

It did not stay a Wi-Fi note

  1. Gamer Garage SSID on the fridge. Then FAQs. Then every link people kept asking for.
  2. Personal homepage The garage page started answering more than Wi-Fi.
  3. Project hub Guides, news, events, and a place to talk piled on.
  4. Zemew Same late-night tinkering. More rooms in the house.

What it turned into

Somehow, it became this

Zemew is a home for people who like to build, play, and share what they learn. We publish practical guides, curate news on the Wire, list events and resources worth knowing about, and support indie work through ZemewStudios.

For help and support, head to zemewsupport.com. Discord is where we hang out for live chat and voice when people are online.

Still building

This thing isn’t done

On the horizon, a few experiments are already named. None of these are promises. They are the next things on the workbench.

  1. Member Events

    Member Events is for member-hosted nights: meetups, consoles, handhelds, board games, and local events. Post a poster, keep the public location to a city or region, and use RSVP as interest, not tickets. Zemew lists them. We do not host, sponsor, or run the night. Big commercial events live on Commercial Events.

  2. Original articles

    Original Stories from Zemew and its editors, written through Write for the Wire, approved by moderators, and published with a free full-text RSS feed for subscribers. We already have our own Guides, like the Garage LAN blueprint, and we plan to keep adding more guides and original articles over time.

  3. More original content

    This has been a fun page with tons of possibilities for expansion. We also plan to register Zemew as an actual business and keep building original content that parallels much of what started in the Gamer Garage.

    • Key parts of a PC
    • How to build a PC, with extra tips and tricks
    • Hardware reviews
    • A suggested build for a long-lasting new gamer PC
    • How to set up your own server

    Integrating YouTube recordings into Guides and Zemew's own articles should be a great addition to the site.

How to contact

We do not run a public inbox on Zemew.com itself. If you want to reach us, Help & Support is the place to do it.

Use zemewsupport.com for questions, feedback, event suggestions, resource ideas, or anything else about the site. That is where you can get help from the people behind Zemew.

As this site grows and, if it ever brings in some income, we plan to set up a more anonymous email inbox and make it available here. For now, Help & Support is the channel.
