Cat Quest 2 has co-op too if she hasn’t done that yet
Maybe Cat Quest II or Key We?
Unravel 2 did this too, except my teen’s character carried my character through the jumping puzzles I stink at
Sending lots of strength your way. Spencer says you’ve got this

Although right now I’m playing… why won’t my controller stay connected? Attempting controller firmware update now 🤞
I’m in the middle of replaying Mass Effect (Legendary) on the Xbox but couldn’t afford not to buy another copy for my SteamDeck at 92% off… under $5. And the orignal PC copies may still be kicking around
Any leads?
Can you help my friend at the library by identifying what #boardgame these (unlabeled) pieces belong to?

My band is doing a costumed rehearsal again this year (performer and/or instrument). Hubby and I picked up couples costumes and I finished my clarinet’s tonight. The tuba costume is well underway too!
Putting the “community” in community band, everyone dressed in costume for tonight’s rehearsal and it was a riot! My clarinet dressed as a sword so I dressed as a warrior to match (originally sewn by my mom for my son)

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
I enjoyed an absolutely lovely Family Weekend Saturday hanging out with 18yo. Our Quiver did a great job transporting 2 games of Legendary Marvel. We also played Hot Streak on the floor of his dorm room
As someone who does not ride rollercoasters I really appreciate the variety of rides available outside of that type! I still have so much to enjoy
That’s a beautiful build!
Totally, that’s a solid plan!
Hubby and I will be there! No conflict with our concert band performance this year
Keep it coming! I’m loving this
Hubby and I have been having a blast playing Sunderfolk couch co-op with 21yo. Just one copy of the game on the tv via Steamdeck and we each control our characters with our phones. Very slick, easy interface. #boardgame families may want to check this out!
