There’s very little info to work with so it’s unlikely you’ll receive any specific advice.
But mainly you do want to be fully connectable (port forwarded) so check that. Go to any port test website (www.canyouseeme.org, www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/, etc.) and enter your torrent client’s incoming connection port there. (for qBittorrent that is in Tools / Options / Connection / Listening Port)
If that test fails then you need to figure out what is blocking your torrent client’s incoming connection port.
If you’re using a proxy that’s the issue, won’t get an incoming connection port via proxy
If you’re using a VPN service that does not support port forwarding then that’s the issue, it is impossible to port forward on a VPN without port forwarding support
If you’re using a VPN service with port forwarding support then go to their website & figure out how to configure it, each VPN service is slightly different
If you’re not using a VPN/Proxy then most likely you’ll need to log into your network router/firewall & configure a port forward there. Basically create a port forward for your torrent client’s incoming connection port & point it to your local system on the network (your NAS)
Also make sure to whitelist your torrent client in any anti-virus/malware software you are using, those will definitely slow you down and/or block connections to your torrent client.
There’s potentially other issues but everyone starts with being connectable first.
Highly recommend Division games(1&2).
Dying light (1) is an ok coop if you’re into zombies.
Ghost recon is good for coop.
Evil west,
Styx(is on my list to try with my friend),
vermentide is an old fav
Tiny teena’s assault on dragon keep.
My recommendation list is going to be a wild mix of different styles. Basically aynthing in my Games Library that I find visually appealing…
Gibbous - A Cthulu Adventure: While it isn’t my favourite point&click (that price goes to the Deponia Trilogy), it’s by far the most beautiful I’ve played up to now. The attention the devs paid to detail is astounding. The animations are perfect. In other words: A work of art.
Euro Truck Simulator 2: I might be an exception here, but to me the main selling point of this game is the scenery, not the trucks.
Elite: Dangerous: Most of the times this game looks utterly boring. Sometimes however, you catch an exceptional sight. Here’s a screenshot of an eclipse in a binary system, as seen from an icy moon of a gas giant (behind which the primary star is hidden).
Space Engine: Same argument as for Elite. Most of the stuff is boring. Sometimes you find an exceptional sight. Also, Space Engine isn’t really a game, but rather a “beautiful picture generator”, as there is no real gameplay as of yet.
Dwarf Fortress in ASCII mode: The ASCII “graphics” are a work of art on their own. Especially the animations. And the best part: The ASCII version can be downloaded for free, while the (imho less beautiful) graphical version costs money.
Pyre: A mix of Visual Novel and Sports Game. The backgrounds and characters are beautifully drawn.
Beat Hazard: The colours of the effects are stunning.
Thanks! I caught it more or less by chance though. I was just scanning all moons in the system, and thought that landing would be a nice break from the scanning routine. And then this happened. It looked even better a few moments before, when the sun that’s visible in the shot was still partially occluded by the gas giant. Took me too long to fire up camera mode to catch that though…
I ended up giving AirVPN a shot - seems like the best option I think. Easy to get openvpn or wireguard set up, and it works great with qbit. Having 5 ports is awesome, have 2 on each of my PCs and one on my phone.
My only issue is I can’t seem to get the port forwarding working with Nicotine+, for some reason it just won’t open the port like qbittorrent does. Downloading works fine, I just doubt anyone can see what I’m sharing
I had trouble using the default port assigned in Nicotine+ too. Try changing the port range to something different if you haven’t already, that’s what got my client working.
My partner and I had fun playing Cat Quest 2 and Spiritfarer as coop games, in addition to It Takes Two which you mentioned. CQ2 is a cute action RPG and Spiritfarer is very chill, lots of sim/management tasks but with really beautiful characters, art, and story. Definitely very unlike Cuphead or Portal 2 but sometimes it’s nice to switch things up a bit.
I don’t put it on my router because there are certain things it would kind of mess with (for example: Netflix on the TV would get all weird and restrict content if it goes through a VPN, I assume it’d slow down online gaming on the Playstation and I don’t really care if that’s anonymous or not and so on.) I could probably split tunnel that stuff, but for me it’s just easier to run it locally on the things I think need it (my laptop, phone etc.) than figure all that out.
That’s just me though, it really all depends on your preferences/threat model I guess.
Make sure to use an older Kindle for PC version. I think I have 1.26. With that version you also need the KFX input plugin.
With the plugins installed, you should be able to drag the files you downloaded with Kindle into Calibre and have it detect them.
The next step is conversion. Be very careful here, Calibre likes to fuck with images. You’ll probably want EPUB as the target format.
Set the target device to Tablet, or your images get resized.
Also disable the title image resizing in the last register.
I’d recommend you set these setting as default, so you don’t forget changing them.
Might want to check out beat 'em up categories as well. I really enjoy River City Girls 1 and 2 (2 having more QoL improvements), but it might not be for everyone.
Similar to what was said about overcooked/CSD, there's also Plate Up! which I enjoy but am not sure myself how local co-op is
