In no particular order, and without adjusting for recency bias:

Single player

  • Hollow Knight
  • Undertale
  • Outer Wilds

Multiplayer

  • The Finals
  • Awesomenauts*
  • YOMI Hustle

* Right now the game is in a weird state where the original company who owned it went backrupt, and the game is in the process of being revived by a different company. In the meantime, the already low player count got lower. On top of that, there's two versions of the game: an old version that used Steam matchmaking (as the matchmaking server went down when the game original closed); and what had been the current patch, being accessible on a beta branch, which currently has issues making it hard to actaully play a match.

Is anyone else bothered by the grammar of the items in the list? Like what kind of sentence is this?

"... the world would consist of have dimmer lights & softer music."

You can come back, you'd just have to take the slow way

This doesn't answer the question, but I think "ping" is a fine way to describe it, as most people will know what you mean. If you want a more technical word, "latency" is a generalized form of "ping".

When I've used Teams for meetings from my home computers, I use the web version (as I don't really want to instal the app.) I've never had an issue with it on Firefox; not even on devices running Linux.

No; I use it decently often. I also know that typing "2014" and pressing alt-x in Word will insert an emdash if I don't have access to a number pad.

Alt-0151 on windows

I've never been called out as AI for using them; but if I ever am, I have the strategy of knowing the alt code for them (0151). I even know the shortcut in word to insert one — pressing alt-X with your cursor at the end of "2014". I also have a vscode macro set up that is just an emdash, just in case I'm in a situation where there's not a way I know to insert one.
