Thanks for posting! Been getting back into fighting games after many years break and it's been great.
For anyone looking for a silly and fun different take on 1v1 I'd highly recommend "Rounds". It has a fun comeback/rogue-like mechanic and my buddy and I have been using it as a great warm up or cool down game.
Also been really loving learning Rivals of Aether as a PC platform brawler and Guilty Gear Strive as a new 2D fighter.
Just wanting to echo the suggestion for linking the kindle to the library. It took a while but basically I just did a massive number of books I was partially interested in (>25) and got on the waitlist. If you then don't have time you can always defer and set the number of days to defer by (e.g. just a couple) but after only a month or so of reading new books I've had constant opportunities to read big name books over the year. There is also sometimes a special "skip the line" copy which can give you a bonus week reading early!
"The Ascent" on gamepass. My buddy and I are always looking for fun coop games, and I saw the trailer for this and thought it looked fun. We are only a couple hours in but so ar it's been a pretty enjoyable cyberpunk twinstick shooter with some great visual design. There are some bugs and the shooting takes a while to get used to but lots of fun so far!
Yeah I'm pretty pumped for it too. I had a nice small weekly smash game with some coworkers but that has fallen off so RoA with some friends has been great. Really loving the look of the sequel.
