So, the only people I've had ask me to play Overcooked 2 have been women.

I think the game might just be popular with women, as unfortunate as the optics are. That being said, it is a very fun video game that I would have overlooked had multiple people not recommended it to me.

Honestly, it's not really a cooking game, it's about trying to reign in the inherent chaos that you and your friends are naturally capable of.

You're describing cooking with friends

Cooking Mama: Dinner with Friends!

I think the term is ~~friendslop~~, and I'm 100% all for it. Let me dick around with my friends. (For what it's worth I actually think it's a well made game.)

Edit: I've been made aware that friendslop isn't entirely accurate. Party game is more fitting.

That is fair, it is very fun from what I've seen people play it, if not a bit frustrating to the point of people screaming at each other (all in good fun tho) and that CAN make for excellent content. Definitely agree on the optics being absolute dogwater tho 😭

I mean, that's half the fun of it – Overcooked 2 is just haphazard chaos sometimes.

I've had men who wanted to play it, but yeah it's definitely more popular with women. Great game
