My friends and I typically play two or three games in rotation, then we'll each have a single-player title we play when nobody is online. For the past few months, it's been a bunch of Helldivers, with some rocket league and fortnite music interspersed. Two of those games are technically over six years old. Before that, it was a bunch of deep rock galactic. I have been playing through sifu on my own time, and that's pretty new and fun.
