Yeah, I have a few recommendations! I haven’t done peer to peer intranet connecting, but I have done the multiplayer for these games that are pretty accessible price and resource wise and are fun to play with friends:

• Rocket League ($0) - a fantastic co-op or versus game involving a neat concept of rocket powered car soccer. It may take a while to get use to the controls/concept, but I’ve sunk a large number of hours into it! It also has a pretty good training mode and AI exhibition matches to get you up to speed.

• Marvel Rivals ($0) - a new release hero shooter in Marvel Comics fashion. Has some teamwork and strategy in its 6v6 games and is an accessible into into hero shooters.

• Portal 2 ($10) - one of my favorite games ever. Its a story driven puzzle game involving spacial vending portals. Can be played co-op and it a very fun experience single player or with others.

• Overwatch 2 ($0) - see marvel rivals, as this came out first.

• CSGO ($0) - a classic multiplayer shooter with a long time following.

• Helldivers 2 ($40) - modern bullet hell Coop shooter against lore specific aliens and robot enemy hordes.

• Battelbit Remastered ($15) - battlefield-esque shooter gameplay with big maps, small battalions within larger teams, and vehicles. Indie dev.

• Ultimate chicken horse ($15) - a very fun single device coop thats a combative platformer. Great with groups, and it says it supports online play.

• Divinity Original Sin / DOS2 / Baldurs Gate 3 - all fantastic co-op fantasy RPGs that can be paused and picked up whenever. BG3 is the most recent and is very well critically acclaimed.

Good on them for keeping it relatively short too, based on Brooks age and the bucks window

My man saw the FVV contract and couldn’t contain himself.

It is leaning that way, but I’m willing to give some benefit of the doubt to the small sample size.

This contract and trade could definitely go down as one that really hurts Luka and the Mavs if it does not improve into this season and beyond.

It’s “good” for Dallas because that trade would be god awful if he left for nothing. The fit and the loss of depth are still aspects left uncertain.

So which is going to happen, are we going to see someone immediately pull it and either talk about it or sell it or is this one to be sitting on a shelf at Walmart somewhere collecting dust?

I’m pretty excited to build some variation of a Cube from it. It seems like a good thematical set to introduce my friends over to Magic, or to pop out as “board game” in a box.

I would definitely say familiarize/love/hate good ol Sol Ring

For casual magic my favorite has been draft and cEDH. You can get some pre-cons for cEDH commander relatively cheap. For 100 cards, if your building it yourself its difficult to build less than $30 USD or so. But possible. I have a slew of decks around ~$40 USD, and Commanders Quarters on YouTube has many examples.

I have a ton of fun playing 2-4 people commander games with buddies, and we all play around pre-con or a modified pre-con power level and have a good time. Sometimes I venture out to card shops and play games with my decks, and I’m usually not completely trounced, so that’s a plus.

Looks great! Good job on all the corners. I like the contrast with the color of the wood and the paper too
