    Why anyone ever plays multiplayer is s confounding mystery to me. They must like being forced to rush and being abused.

      Ha, those friggin normies and their friendships. Whats up with that? Almost like spending time with people you trust and care about causes neuroendocrinal response of dopamine and endorphins resulting in feelings of happiness and fulfillment.

        Do people really feel that way? I’m just drained and glad to be home alone again.

          It’s not a constant 100% result, but yeah it’s kind of a well established natural phenomenon. Couldn’t stop it if you wanted to. Some people can get the same benefit solely from having their comments upvoted, we process it the same as regular human interaction. Bonus points exist for huggers.

        Almost all my friends have kids now, so group anything is basically impossible, assuming we we even want to do the same thing at the same time.

          I don’t consider abusing my friends because they’re slower than me in a turn based strategy a good thing to do.

            …It occurs to me that I am interpreting “rush” in the RTS sense of attacking early before your opponent is ready, not in the sense of pressuring people to take their turns faster.

      I’ve been playing couch co-op with my husband on both of our Switches. It’s not too bad if you don’t force a turn timer. The game will give you a ding when you’re the last one to play, but we both have ‘side games’ or play with our cats in the meantime if the other needs more time. I wouldn’t do it online or with a turn timer, though.
