  • EF can have big problems with “Cartesian explosions” if an object has two lists of sub objects to return, it will get listA length x listB length items due to how the joins work. You can see how this leads to the explosion part of the name (with more objects or lists).

    Their solution is a “split query” option, that does each sub table as a separate query, then seamlessly gives you the combined result.

    If a change like this let’s you get those different table lists as distinct lists with the processing and round trip time of multiple requests then it could be a game changer.

    For some slightly less common games: Golf with your friends is a great mini game to play, effectively really crazy golf online

    From the Depths build ships/planes/tanks with entirely custom guns, engines etc. then play on the campaign map with fleets of these ships. you can make some really complicated vehicles if that’s your thing. Unlimited player count as far as I’m aware.

    A less deep version of that is Avorion - Mine resources to build custom ships (less complicated) then even small fleets and do quests, make allies/enemies as you venture to the centre of the galaxy. Supports unlimited players as far as I’m aware. It also allows you to form an alliance to share resources with other players. Resource gathering (mining/salvaging) can be automated by your fleets if that’s not your thing.
