    The last couple of coop games my group has played are:
    Stardew Valley
    Left 4 Dead 2 (nostalgia driven, but a classic for a reason)
    Halo MCC campaigns
    Deep Rock Galactic

    Certainly Stardew and L4D2 should work on anything that's been built in the last decade or so, so I would expect your friend's computer to be fine.

    Another Creeper World fan in the wild! Hi! I'll second this. They're a fun take on the RTS genre and worth giving a look if you have any interest.

    My guesses on the cliffhangers I suspect that the flags are going to go well. Given that they're alphabetized (instead of in the order of opening an embassy or something), it's not going to be too hard. The "car" is going to come down to whether or not they got the wheels on straight and I don't think there's a good way to tell that yet. I suspect that a solid kick on a plank of wood could hit 30' so I don't expect this one to be too difficult either.

    So... Two successes is my expectation.

    This is a super cool idea. Anyone happen to know if the ratio of concrete flux needed per ton of steel happens to line up with the amount of steel produced annually and the amount of concrete that goes to landfill? My understanding is that old crushed concrete can be (and is already) used as aggregate for new mixes. How does this interact with that established process?

    I'm in the camp of "If I'm going to put 60 hours into this game eventually, I'd rather do it when it's done, not while it's incomplete". I'd rather wait for all the quality of life features and the potential game breaking bugs to be implemented/fixed as necessary and have the best experience I can. I'll have more fun with it later and there's no rush.

    The Owl House is magnificent and deserving of all the praise. It's a shame the 3rd season was cut short, but Disney making weird decisions is par for the course there.

    These are the ones I have. They're an adapter that lets you run ethernet over coax. So, instead of rewiring the house for ethernet, I'm using something that's good enough and doesn't break my lease.

    If there's coax in the walls already, you can use MOCA 2.5 adapters to get surprisingly good speeds (we get symmetric 500 Mb per second)

    Expanding on this idea: Last time I moved, I measured the furniture and then went to the new space with a roll of painters tape and taped out where everything would go. It's much easier to move tape than couches and tables and it was a big help for feeling out what the space would be like with furniture. The more extreme method of this is using folding chairs and air mattresses. They aren't the exact right size, but they can still be helpful.
