Thanks mate, appreciated. Yeah I also seen a recurrent pattern in peoples' suggestions, just what I was hoping for when I posted the question!

I've just wishlisted it, so yeah I'll keep an eye on it. Cheers mate, that looks like a good un

Great I'll check em out, thanks mate. I'm going to send this comment to my brothers. Yeah I'm thinking we can do co-op gaming.i don't think we really want to play against other people, we're pretty much looking for a private playground until we get good enough to play with the clever kids!

Tbh not really. I'm the only one who's at all flexible - I can do steam deck or old laptop (3050). But electricity is an issue for me, I'm not on mains electric just solar & batteries, and the steam deck is much less power hungry. Both my brothers have kids and homes to pay for. We're not broke but can't really upgrade tech without having to budget. We were hoping to find something that'll work for us all.

I'm forwarding this whole thread to my brothers, we'll agree on something. I like the look of sniper elite 5, thanks!

Lol we actually played worms Armageddon against each other before. If it still has stuff like exploding sheep etc it be a good game to play with their kids

Hmm left for dead 2 seems possible for steam deck at least. I'll check with the others. Yeah we could do co-op, but I don't think we wanna play against other humans. Just something we can catch up an have fun for two or three hours each week

It doesn't have to be against each other, but I think at least to start we wouldn't want to play with other randoms cos we're all pretty amateur level.

Yeah we've been trying to find something but like you say the platforms seem to be a problem for most things

 

Hi

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this. Basically I'm looking for recommendations for a game I can play against my 2 brothers. We live in different cities and hardly get to see each other but are we all into games.

We are all in our late 40s and haven't gamed against each other since way back when I had a few networked PCs in a squat where we played unreal tournament. I am well out of the gaming loop, i just finished bioshock a couple of months back, now I'm playing doom & death loop. I'm crap at both!

We were thinking we'd like to play a shooter just against each other, kinda like unreal tournament, or something we can do cooperatively. We are definitely not ready to go up against the kids online. Maybe doesn't have to be a shooter if it's fun to play together. Most of us have kids and none of us has loads of screen time.

One brother is on an Xbox One is on a PC One is on a steam deck with WiFi hotspot.

I'm grateful for any suggestions

Damn, why'd you have to bring up the sun again?

 

Hi yeah so this is a follow-up post. I posted a pic of my garden maybe a month ago and said I'd post more pics over summer, so here is its current state. As you can see, the gladioli are coming and going, the calendulas are bullet proof (those fuckers will flower when temp drops to zero). There's a couple of grafted apples in the mix, my marigolds got nailed by slugs (lotta slugs and snails this year). I'm not growing any food aside from the apples which are too small to fruit and the heritage beef tomato someone gave me. The sweet peas are almost over, gutted cos I love how tarty they smell! But I've been saving seed pods. There's a bit more stuff in the mix.

Obviously growing in pots and crates is challenging but as you can see I live in a van and my plants have to be able to move when I have to go. Also there's fuck all soil where I am right now. I'd love a proper garden but I'm doing my best. Anyhoo, the bees and butterflies love it, and so do I.

 

Hi yeah so I'm not sure if this fits here but I'm posting it anyway. I live in a van so my garden has to be in pots so I can move it when I have to. Also there's fuck all soil where I am right now. I'm mostly about flowers, I'm not growing any food this summer except that tomato plant in the blue crate, someone gave me that and I couldn't not give it a chance. I think it's a heritage beef tomato. There's a couple of apples in the mix, one of em flowered in spring but they were only cuttings& grafts last year so doubt it'll fruit. The rest is meant to be pretty stuff, sweet peas, calendulas (dead headed, hopefully back soon, those fuckers are bulletproof), marigolds (slug attack but couple survivors) gladioli, couple of roses, snap dragons, sunflowers be coming late due to sluggery, cornflowers, the orange crate is supposed to be meadow flowers, we'll see what happens there. Anyway, if no-one tells me not to I'll post another pic in a few weeks cos all being well it'll only get prettier
