The Best Co-op Games to Play With Your Friends in Every Scenario

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-05 00:01:00

Despite how gaming has changed over the years, one thing remains the same -- people love playing games together. Whether you're solving a puzzle, hunting monsters or escaping Hell, it's better with a friend (or three). It should come as no surprise that games like Split Fiction and It Takes Two from Hazelight Studios, which focus on cooperative play, were critical successes. Some of my best memories are marathon gaming sessions with friends, squished together on a couch or logging in online fro

So-called AI slop, meaning LLM-generated low quality images, videos, and text, has taken over the internet in the last couple of years, polluting websites, social media platforms, at least one newspaper, and even real-world events.

Open source software is open digital infrastructure that our economies and societies rely on.

So we ask: how can the public sector better support open source maintenance?

Bus Bunching

When two or more buses are scheduled at regular intervals on the same route, planners may expect that each will make the same progress, pausing at each stop for the same interval (1). But if Bus B is delayed by traffic congestion (2), it incurs a penalty: Because it arrives late to the next stop, it will pick up some passengers who’d planned to take Bus C (3). Accommodating these passengers delays Bus B even longer, putting it even further behind schedule. Meanwhile, Bus C begins to make unusual

Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong

Contrary to common belief, resting meat isn’t really about retaining juices, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless. Instead, it’s best understood as a temperature-control method for managing carryover cooking. To use it effectively, though, you have to completely rethink how the technique works and how to apply it. Is dark matter real? How do consciousness and memory actually work? And is it really necessary to rest your meat after cooking? These are the big, unresolved questions that keep scien
