Couch co-op is still rad. Don't know how old your kids are but we play Little Big Planet as a family and it rules

I haven't played that for ages but I should get it out. My 10yo and myself have plenty of games on the go but it's not nearly the same as a LAN.

Come over to mine. Bring the gaming rig (I have the monitor and KB+M). Bring the Mrs and kids too....they can chat/play too.

The bigger problem is having time and finding adult friends with similar interests locally. LAN parties can still happen, but finding friends and aligning their calendars is impossible. We've moved on from the days of college where time was infinite and responsibilities were low. I do look for "dad gamers" Discord channels (to find peers rather than shouty 19year olds), but have had little luck.

These days mostly playing Street fighter 6, Jedi Fallen Order, Balatro and Risk of Rain 2. I played Apex Legends till they blocked it on Linux.

I have SF6, Marvel rivals and Left 4 Dead 2 installed. Could do Overwatch 2 as well. Those would probably be most suitable to play together. Finding overlapping time and interest is tricky. I'm in UK timezone and get PC time after 1030pm on some weekdays or around midday most weekends.

Weekends would be out for me because i don’t wake up that early. But weekdays might not be so bad, as I’m 5 hours behind you.

I have “lan parties” with my kids. It’s a great time and we all get to bond over our shared love of gaming.
