You will need games that have crossplay between PC and Xbox One so you can play together across different platforms. Multiple people have suggested Left 4 Dead 2, but that doesn't have crossplay. Most of the shooters I personally play don't have it, but there definitely are shooters with crossplay.

Here are my recommendations that have crossplay:

• Borderlands 3 — Collect wacky guns, travel the universe, and shoot bad guys together. The previous games in the series don't have crossplay.

...Yeah, that's it for crossplay shooters I recommend. For crossplay games that aren't shooters:

• Overcooked! All You Can Eat — Chaotic co-op cooking. Work together to prepare, cook, and serve food in increasingly absurd scenarios: in the middle of the highway, on an iceberg, in a hot air balloon that crashes into a different restaurant.
• Ultimate Chicken Horse — Platformer where you build the levels together and then race to the finish. You only score if someone died, so you need to make the level extra dangerous.
• Moving Out 2 — Goofy co-op game where your group plays as a ridiculously reckless moving company. Carry furniture from the house and shove or throw it into the truck. No one will notice if you break all the windows.

If everyone is on PC, things will open up a good bunch. Old-school networked games generally still work. You can go FFA deathmatch in your old favourites or in newer arena shooters, like Warsow or Disco Dodgeball.

There was a very big plot arc from 2009 to 2019. The story is officially over and the comic has returned to gag-a-day format, but now with the expanded cast from the storyline.

I recommend diving into the archive to read through that arc. It's one of my favourite webcomic storylines.

Terrorblade? More like terrible with a blade!

I've been out of the RSS metagame for a long while, so I don't have any particular recommendation. I've just been using Inoreader on mobile as well for the past several years since it works for my purposes. There very well could be better choices out there but there's no urgency for me to switch.

If patch notes are announced in an official blog, it's likely that it has an RSS or Atom feed. You can subscribe to the blog from an RSS reader and it'll appear in the feed.

And if you haven't heard of RSS readers before, welcome to the world of being able to subscribe to almost any website you want! The news and webcomics come to you, not the other way around.

Update: an example.

I open my reader (Inoreader), select "Add feed", and enter https://www.teamfortress.com/. It detects the TF2 official blog and I select "Follow" to add it to my feeds. Now, when TF2 updates and patch notes are posted, I can refresh my reader to see the latest patch notes.

That's what he's been building up to!

We decided to avoid using “free” or “libre” in the name because we don’t think it does the project justice.

Extremely correct call.

Honestly, my issue with it is that it gets mired in real MMO tedium when it didn't need to simulate that. Stuff like running between NPC traders to trade your supplies up for good equipment and other stuff like having a gigantic pile of consumables.

And of course, I finish the final boss with all the best consumables still in my inventory. The game never pressed me to use them, so I always saved them for something more important. "Oh, that was the final boss. Guess I should have been eating more sandwiches."

The plot and worldbuilding are still really cool. Just don't get into MMOmaxxing.
