  • IDK if released as a “cloud edition” or native, but https://www.nintendo.de/Spiele/Nintendo-Switch-Spiele/It-Takes-Two-2265759.html is probably the best co-op game we ever played with my wife. We played streaming from PC, IDK how good Switch port is.

    Other than that, some of our favourites (tried to sort by relevancy to your question):

    • Children of Morta
    • Overcooked 2
    • Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2
    • River City Girls
    • Death Squared (not PvE, puzzle game but a great one)
    • Snipperclips (ditto)
    • Super Mario Bros U Deluxe
    • Luigi’s Mansion 3
    • Pico Park (better with 4 players)
    • Unrailed (maybe not very casual/easy though)

    Other games that may not be your cup of tea but still:

    • Mario Party games
    • Warioware Get it Together
    • Crawl
    • TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge
    • Super One More Jump
    • Out of Space
    • Enter the Gungeon
    • Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
    • Urban Flow
    • Catherine Full Body (has a co-op mode)


  • Eeh let me go against the grain here a bit: Personally I’d rather have my account on somewhere that doesn’t police my access. IMO one of the major boons to the Internet that it being decentralized and not particularly easy to police by any one authority. I’ve lived a big part of my life in an authoritarian country, and censorship gradually builds up. I have no interest in granting this kind of power even governments rarely get to exercise, to some random people.

    I firmly believe that the best kind of content moderation is to use the small “X” button right next to the browser tab. I would understand and completely support not wanting to see certain content, communities or users yourself, but unless illegal [1] I don’t see any reason why you should be able to prevent others.

    [1] even then, question of in what jurisdiction comes to kind

    Anyway, I know that nowadays vouching for information freedom doesn’t win much favours. Cool thing about ActivityPub is that barring future potential scaling issues, I can run my own instance and enjoy the Internet as it once was.

    edit: I have to say that there’s a level of irony in asking for bans and central controls on content on a platform that in its very nature decentralized and supposed to be empowering.


  • Diablo IV. I’m still somewhere around Act 2, and the game is really well done in its genre.

    For when I’m tired of slaying demons, I got Back 4 Blood. Haven’t been playing this one since its first release, and this time I really got hooked. Pretty good HDR implementation, and overall it’s a worthwhile Left 4 Dead successor. I also got all the DLCs, so plenty of content before I run out.
