Looking for game recommendations (including online co-op) for a Surface Pro 6 (i5-8250U / 8GB RAM)

Hey everyone. I’m looking for some good game recommendations that will run smoothly on my laptop.I am fully aware this is not a gaming laptop and that it cannot handle big, demanding modern AAA titles. I'm completely fine with playing older classics, well-optimized indie titles, or 2D games. And as I said, I'd love to know if there are any good co-op games it can run.

My Device Specifications:

Model: Microsoft Surface Pro 6

Processor: Intel Core i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz

RAM: 8.00 GB

Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 620 (Integrated iGPU)

A book with a female character like Cathy from East of Eden

Cathy is my favorite character in the book, and I’d love to find a classic or modern novel with a female character like her. Any recommendations? She doesn’t have to be the main character

Classics with lesbian relationship undertones

Are there any classic novels where the relationships between female characters can be interpreted as having lesbian undertones or queer subtext?

I need help with punctuation mistakes while writing essays

English is my second language, and I chose it as my major at university. The problem is , I still struggle a lot in punctuation placement while writing ,especially commas and periods, and I'll lose marks during exams because of that. I know the most important rules about about commas , like after introductory elements, between items in a list, around extra information, with direct address, and in dates and places. The same goes for periods, but I still make mistakes consistently. I do not know when to use them, especially when I write long sentences i feel stuck not knowing when to put a comma or a period. And I feel ashamed saying this, but sometimes when I write an essay I would show it to chat gpt to correct the punctuation mistakes I have. I have no one else to ask; other students who also have English as a second language are not better than my writing. I tried asking my professor but he's busy most of the time. I also watched many YouTube videos but I feel like I'm not finding the right ones for my problem. So I'd ask gpt, but I'm tired of going that , especially when I write chat gpt corrected version as my final draft. What can I do?

( sorry for the spelling and punctuation mistakes. I'm trying my best🙏)

I have no idea if I should return these books or not.

One day at my university, I found a room filled to the brim with books, piled on top of each other in such a sad way. Y’all have no idea how many books were there. I asked the people responsible for the building if I could arrange them, and they agreed. I’m really proud of what I managed to do in just three days.

Anyway, they let me take any number of books I wanted, and I took these. But after a long time, I realized I don’t really want half of them. Now I’m wondering which books I should return and which I should keep

My games collection

My collection may not be the biggest, but I only have physical games since my country doesn't have a PS Store. Next week I'm planning to jailbreak my PS4, and I'll keep growing my collection after that. I'm also planning on buying a Nintendo Switch. I'd like to have at least one physical game from its exclusives. After PlayStation's announcement, I think it's time to save up for a PC. What an awful time to be alive.

PHYSICAL MEDIA FOREVER

Need a book similar to the last of us II (the game)

Idk if this is the right subreddit to ask, but does anyone have a book recommendation that gives the same experience as the last of us part II? The game of course. I know there's a book called (The Road), but I'm looking for something different. I'm not saying I want something that's strictly like tlou, from the post apocalyptic world to the clickers and all that. I just want a book that gives me that same empty feeling, that same sense of depression, and the urge to cry because of how much the main character suffers.

I'd love something similar to the game, although I don't think anything can truly replicate that experience. Also, I'd really love it if the main character were a girl and had a personality somewhat similar to Ellie's.

I finished tlou 2 for the first time yesterday . How am I supposed to recover?

This game is now in my top 10 games oat, and it's definitely in my top 3. It exceeded my expectations by so much. Unfortunately, I saw some spoilers even though I tried my hardest to avoid them, but things happen. This part is far better than Part I. I absolutely love Part I, but this one hit me on a completely different level. It was so emotional and beautiful, and it gave me so many characters to care about. Ellie is such a miserable character losing everyone around her one by one. Watching her become more shocked, broken with every loss genuinely made me cry my eyes out. As for Abby, I don't like her, but I understand her. Both her and Ellie had their reasons for wanting to kill the person who murdered their father. What really irritated me, though, was how the Wolves saw themselves as the good guys. Abby wasn't any better than Joel. She killed countless people just like he did, so apart from avenging her father, I never really bought into her moral high ground.

Dina and Ellie's relationship was so 😕💔 When the farm chapter started and I saw them living in that farmhouse with a baby and a peaceful life, I genuinely thought it was one of Ellie's dreams. When I realized it was actually real, I was shocked. That only made it hurt more when she chose to leave it all behind to continue her pursuit of revenge. This particular part was so fucking sad, kept wishing she'd stay, hold on to that almost happy life, and be with Dina, but seeing the state she was in, like a person without a soul, made me understand why she couldn't. She felt like she needed to kill Abby to finally find some peace. And then she didn't. Was it because Abby spared her before? Or because Joel's memory hit her again? I don't know. Whatever the reason was, I cried. And when she came back to the farmhouse and found it empty... God. I was mad. That feeling was awful. Walking through that silent house knowing that Dina and JJ was gone was one of the most depressing moments I've ever experienced in a game.

I have two wishes for Part III. First, I hope that by the time it comes out, I'll already have whatever device is needed to play it. Second, I really hope we don't play as JJ. Seeing him as a baby immediately planted this fear in my head that we might end up playing as him someday, and I honestly hope that's not the direction they go in ( or Abby, i really dont want her story anyomre). I want to keep playing as Ellie. Even Dina would be interesting i wouldn't mind playing with her. I also really want to see if Ellie and Dina can somehow find their way back to each other and finally get the peaceful life they came so close to having.

I wanted to replay both parts, but after seeing the ending of Part II, I feel like I'll just want to vomit every time I replay them. Seeing all those characters alive and well, while knowing the miserable futures waiting for them would be absolutely heartbreaking. 100/10 game. How am I supposed to recover?

Fuck my life.
