Go Go Town on steam came out recently, co-op available local or online, controller compatible, up to 4 players (aside: you didn’t tell us how many players needed, but stardew is 4 so I’m going to assume a 4 max isn’t a problem). Not sure on system requirements, might be a little heavier than stardew but it’s not all that graphically intense. Had a blast playing it local co-op with the kids.

Gameplay loop is familiar: extract resources to grow your town, unlock higher tiered buildings, eventually automating most of the logistics such that it runs itself like a little town simulator. The game is very casual friendly and forgiving, for example, you can freely just pick up and move a building, no reconstruction or lost costs, you can’t really “die”, and if you need to step away, shops might run out of inventory and stop producing but they won’t death spiral or anything.

Counterpoint - the US is killing for this price. We’ve been at war in the middle east the vast majority of my lifetime, in no small part driven by wanting to control access to and profits from oil.

Men tend to shrug off the small stuff, but the big stuff … having a shoulder is the world. Death, work layoff, bad health diagnosis, etc … just because they don’t look for a shoulder every day, doesn’t mean it isn’t needed and appreciated when it’s time.

Some of it too is differing audiences/communities. You might tell a joke in front of your poker bros that you wouldn’t tell in front of your kids … and there’s nothing wrong with that.
