I am a 33 year old dad to a toddler with a few screws loose (ADHD, Bi-polar). Life can be tough. Gaming is supposed to be fun. Looking for someone who can vibe with that and has an interest of any level in these games cause I do be picky.

Rocket League (C1/C2) The Division 2 Madden

I know, Madden stinks, but if you like football and games at all have an open mind. I use mods (mine and community) to both deliver better gameplay and a better overall franchise experience, but the real key is couch co-op over Parsec so one of us can grab the INT when the QB barely gets the ball off cause the other is chasing them down. It's lit.

It's hard to use that nuke in a full party and not be toxic. You almost always end up catching someone or someone gets forced into the blast radius burn.

Yeah, its pretty toxic when you use it and leave. If you stick around its pretty funny most of the time.

Eh, I don't think using the Fat Boy is inherently toxic. Yeah, you're a lot more likely to hit friendly fire than basically anything else the Engineer does, but you can't really say that friendly fire is toxic behavior without saying nobody should ever play Driller.

You absolutely can use it as a toxic player, but it's usually not that hard to tell if someone is being a dick or trying their best.
