The best couch co-op games for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox

Cult of the Lamb has introduced a local co-op mode through the Unholy Alliance update, allowing players to summon a new character, The Goat, for shared gameplay. The game combines village management and combat, where players control The Lamb and gather followers while embarking on crusades against the Bishops of the Old Faith. Co-op play enables both characters to traverse the environment together on a shared screen, with the ability to revive each other during battles. New tarot cards, relics, and fleeces are unlocked with a co-op player, and players can also start a new game together. The shared screen may cause interruptions when managing the cult, but effective communication can enhance the experience. The cooperative mode offers a new way to explore the game, particularly for post-game quests and harder challenges.

DuckDB inside Postgres!!??

The integration of DuckDB within PostgreSQL has garnered attention due to PostgreSQL's limitations in handling online analytical processing (OLAP) tasks on larger datasets. DuckDB is noted for its speed and is seen as a solution to enhance PostgreSQL's analytical capabilities. To evaluate this integration, a setup involving PostgreSQL with the DuckDB extension and a dataset of 50 million records is required. The process includes creating a Docker container for PostgreSQL, importing the dataset, and running performance queries. Initial tests may not always show a significant performance improvement with DuckDB compared to PostgreSQL, leading to questions about the integration's effectiveness. However, the integration offers innovative data processing methods, such as reading datasets like Iceberg and writing back to cloud storage. The data engineering community is encouraged to critically assess the performance claims and mechanics of this integration.
