LAN parties were great. We're living like shit without them.

Couch co-op is still rad. Don't know how old your kids are but we play Little Big Planet as a family and it rules

I haven't played that for ages but I should get it out. My 10yo and myself have plenty of games on the go but it's not nearly the same as a LAN.

Come over to mine. Bring the gaming rig (I have the monitor and KB+M). Bring the Mrs and kids too....they can chat/play too.

The bigger problem is having time and finding adult friends with similar interests locally. LAN parties can still happen, but finding friends and aligning their calendars is impossible. We've moved on from the days of college where time was infinite and responsibilities were low. I do look for "dad gamers" Discord channels (to find peers rather than shouty 19year olds), but have had little luck.
