To be specific, I'm trying to find a multiplayer game to play that isn't team-based or co-op, which most of them seem to be.

EDIT: To narrow down the genre a little bit, I'm looking for shooters (first or third person, doesn't matter) or something more on the casual side.

What a time to be alive.

Doesn't this run counter to EU's rule that all small electronic devices - which the Switch 2 falls under - need to have USB-C chargers? In the sense that even though the plug is USB-C shaped, it's not compliant to the standard?

Lately I've been thinking about Voxatron, an incomplete yet fun little top-down-ish shooter game from 2011. I love the way it looks and plays, so I've been wondering if there are any other games with the same aesthetic?

It's a bit hard to explain, but what I liked specifically about Voxatron was how the characters and the environment were animated. Everything seemed to snap to an invisible three-dimensional grid, or in other words, voxels didn't rotate. Here's an example.

What I'm not looking for is a game that is made of voxels, but is animated like polygons, if that makes sense. Like this. I'm not really sure what term to use, because searching for "voxel games" was not very fruitful for me. Search results encompassed everything from Minecraft to Severed Steel.

I imagine animating a game in such a way would be super time consuming, but I still have to ask: are there any games that fit this criteria?

Not to say I hate the genre, I actually love me some Dusk or Turbo Overkill, but why, oh why are they called Boomer Shooters?

These games clearly took inspiration from 90s FPS games, which 👌, but they were played mostly by Gen Xers and Millenials, not Boomers. When games like Duke Nukem 3D or Quake were out, Boomers were what? 30 to 50 years old? I'm sure some of them played FPS games, but there is no way they were the majority.

Whenever I see the term Boomer Shooter, my mind goes to games like Shootout! for Magnavox Odyssey. Can't we call them something else, like Retro FPSes or something?

Anyway, rant over. Thank you for your time.

This is an email I came across at work. I seriously can't believe they're trying to justify being stressed. It may not be as caustic as other posts you see on here, but it still kinda pissed me off.

I mean specifically, what criteria does a webpage have to fulfill for it to be considered web3 compliant?

Because all I see around the web are people waxing poetic about freedom, ownership and whatnot without really saying anything. There's no consensus, there's no whitepaper, just... vague, nondescript ideas.
