I start: Satisfactory - because having your production running 24/7 really makes this game even more enjoyable and satisfying. There are just docker container for the server out there.

What games do get better for you trough selfhosting the server?

Good question; Game servers are one aspect of self-hosting I haven't explored yet. Just wondering: How heavy is this? I assume it mostly needs a lot of RAM?

Not as much as you'd think.

Not having to render the graphics at all really helps reduce the performance impact of games a lot, because it basically brings it down to gameplay code only, which is usually not too complex. Any game that has server simulated physics might still get spicy though.
