My best friend and I are looking for something new to play together. We’ve been playing a ton of sim racing lately and just want a break with a game we can relax and have fun with.
Games we’ve loved:
Golf With Your Friends – Seriously one of the most fun co-op experiences we’ve had. We beat all the courses in about a day and a half and couldn’t stop laughing.
Chained Together – Great co-op chaos.
StarCraft – We enjoy strategy and having to work together.
We were going to play LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but found out it doesn’t have true online co-op.
We’re not really looking for games like Minecraft, Terraria, Valheim, Rust, or other survival/base-building games. We also don’t really want competitive ranked games like Rocket League, COD, Overwatch, Apex, Fortnite, etc. We used to play Rocket League nonstop, but we’re kind of burned out on constantly sweating in online matches.
We’re looking for something that’s:
Online co-op
Fun with just two players
Story-driven, puzzle, physics, arcade, or strategy-focused
Casual enough to relax, but engaging enough that we’ll keep saying “one more level” or “one more mission”
Doesn’t require grinding ranked ladders or PvP
We’re open to older games too—it doesn’t have to be brand new. Honestly, we’re just chasing that feeling where you accidentally play until 2 a.m. because you’re having so much fun.
What are the best hidden gems or co-op games you and a friend couldn’t put down?

Hey everyone,
I’m finally taking the leap and starting my first Etsy shop.
Right now the plan is to sell:
3D printed products (home organization, kitchen/bathroom accessories, gifts, etc.)
T-shirts
Eventually expand into other handmade/custom products as the business grows.
I already have access to a couple of Bambu printers and a commercial shirt printer, so I’m trying to build this into a real long-term business instead of just throwing up a few listings and hoping for the best.
I’ve been watching YouTube videos and reading guides, but I’d rather hear from people who have actually done it.
A few questions I have:
What mistakes did you make when you first started?
What actually brings in sales that beginners usually overlook?
How many listings did you have before things really started taking off?
How important are mockups versus real product photos?
Should I focus on one niche first or keep adding different products as I make them?
Any advice on pricing, SEO, or shipping that you wish someone had told you sooner?
I’m prepared to put in the work—I know Etsy isn’t a get-rich-quick thing. My goal is to consistently build a catalog of products and improve over time.
I’d appreciate any advice, warnings, or lessons you’ve learned along the way. Thanks!

I’ve been going down the AI rabbit hole for the past week and could use advice from people who have actually built and run AI agents.
My situation
I’m 25 and my family recently got:
2 Bambu P2S 3D printers
A commercial t-shirt printer
A few products already selling
A few hundred dollars in sales just through word of mouth
The goal isn’t to sell AI services. The goal is to build a real business selling physical products while using AI to automate as much of the business as possible.
Here’s my vision
I don’t just want ChatGPT in a browser.
I want something that eventually looks like an AI company headquarters.
Imagine opening your PC and seeing departments like:
CEO
Design
Etsy
Website
Marketing
Inventory
Finance
Print Farm
Customer Support
With dashboards showing:
Revenue
Orders
Printer status
Inventory
Website traffic
AI agents currently working
Almost like an operating system for my business.
My dilemma
At the same time, I’m building my own personal AI assistant (Jarvis) for learning and fun.
Now I’m wondering if I should completely separate the business side.
Instead of building all the infrastructure myself, should I start with something like:
Hermes
OpenClaw
Another agent framework I’m missing
and customize that into my own Business HQ?
My biggest questions
Is Hermes actually the right choice for a small product business?
Is OpenClaw more mature?
Are there better alternatives in 2026?
If you were starting today with 3D printing + Etsy + Shopify + your own website, what would you build on?
Are people actually making real money running businesses with these agent frameworks, or are they mostly cool demos?
If you were me, would you:
Build everything yourself
Customize Hermes/OpenClaw
Use something completely different
Hardware
RTX 3080 Ti (12 GB)
Ryzen 9
32 GB RAM
I’d like to run as much locally as possible, but I’m not against paying for ChatGPT or Claude if it actually saves time and makes money.
I’m trying to avoid another situation where I spend hundreds of dollars on AI tools that never produce a return. I’d rather build on a solid foundation if one already exists.
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actually used Hermes, OpenClaw, or similar systems in a real business rather than just testing them for fun.

Hey everyone,
I’m pretty new to AI development, but over the last few days I’ve started building my own personal AI assistant (“Jarvis”) from scratch in Python.
So far I have:
A Textual dashboard/UI
A local LLM running (currently Qwen 14B)
Continue in VS Code
Basic routing and project structure
Git set up
The foundation for expanding it over time
My end goal isn’t just a chatbot.
I want Jarvis to become my personal AI operating system that can:
Talk with me naturally (voice eventually)
Remember long-term context
Help me write code
Organize my PC
Launch and control applications
Search files
Automate repetitive tasks
Eventually manage teams of AI agents
Long term I also want to use it to help run businesses (3D printing, T-shirt designs, Etsy, social media, etc.), where Jarvis manages specialized agents while I interact with a single assistant.
Here’s where I’m stuck.
Every time I look online I see people recommending something different:
OpenClaw
Hermes Agent/HermesHQ
Claude Code
MCPs
Building everything yourself
“Don’t reinvent the wheel.”
I’m trying to figure out if I’m building the right thing.
Would you:
Continue building Jarvis completely from scratch?
Use OpenClaw or Hermes as the backend and make Jarvis the custom interface?
Skip frameworks entirely and just build your own architecture?
I’m less interested in the fastest way and more interested in building something I can own, understand, and expand over the next few years.
I’d also love to hear from people who actually built their own assistant:
What do you wish you’d done differently?
What architecture decisions paid off later?
What mistakes should I avoid while I’m still early?
Thanks!
