A Unity environment created in URP for my portfolio
What I'm using now is Mirror backed with Epic Online Services. It's really great, if you want info on how to set stuff up I'll happily show you around. No subscriptions, no fees, though it's peer-to-peer (EOS doesn't host servers they just provide transport).

Photon Fusion vs. Normcore
I'd recommend Mirror + Epic Online Transport
- Is it possible to make a P2P online multiplayer game hosted by a player using Photon?

Dev question: advice on developing a multiplayer game.
Yeah. I haven't personally used Epic's online services for a project yet but I'm exploring it soon (your curiosity led me to this which makes my job stupid easy as I already use Mirror) but I'm thinking it's the most sensible way to go, especially now that it's actually available as a Unity plugin, mostly because it allows you to release on every storefront and maintain crossplay, including mobile VR platforms (though mobile platforms are not officially supported by Epic Online Services yet).

What are some big no-nos when designing multiplayer functionality?

Messing around with Generic Types, Thought I'd share this fun function
Unity's package is, from what I understand, an imitation of Mirror (which is kind of ironic given the name) but I don't know if they have improved it since I last checked. At that point, you might want to consider Mirror instead.

Spent April learning Unity, started a little dice roller to show off the dice my brother designs
Multiplayer is something I've wanted to try, just so other people can see the dice rolls that each player makes. I found a cool multiplayer library that I hope to try out later, it is called Mirror ... is that what you use? https://github.com/MirrorNetworking/Mirror

Creating an MMO. (Looking for wisdom)
I'd suggest getting an experienced developer on board, one that has worked with networking before. Multiplayer games are hard to buid. Regarding networking frameworks, I know Mirror for Unity has been tested for an MMO use case. Not sure about Unity's first-party Networked Game Objects solution.

After updating Mirror, I now have all of these errors...
Are you using AsmDef assembly files? If so make sure you have Mirror.Transports.asmdef referenced in your main (Source folders) asmdef.

Unreal Engine 5.2 Beta - Procedural Content Generator (PCG)
I dunno why they'd even bother implementing that when mirror did it for free
