I think this is due to the actual societal character of the British compared to us Americans. We just can’t seem to genuinely pull it off because it’s somewhat counterintuitive to the way we’re raised socially. Try as we might, we may come close, but we seem to always miss the mark, even if the differences are hard to put a finger on. That’s just my opinion.
You’re referring to a live-in nurse situation, or hospice?
Roku, Playstation, Xbox, streaming device from ISP (like the device from comcast), Fire stick, and I’m sure there are many more. They all do what you’re looking for.
People require validation of a sort, and when they don’t get it, they can take many different paths. Some choose to take the vengeance route to reciprocate their feelings on others. Some just get depressed, and of course there are many other things individuals can do as a response to a lack of validation. Then there’s the facet of mental health problems which could, or could not be mitigated.
Using the trade skills I acquired to pay for a computer science degree, which has secured me the best job I’ve ever had. Going to college later in life was absolutely a game changer.
That’s a super safe assumption in this case, but this one is more of an anomaly. It’s a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
This isn’t entirely uncommon, but my 20 year old car is in perfect shape, fully paid off, and can do any job. I’m proud of that thing.
What? We don’t have a plethora of other games here in the US? I’ll have to remind the owners of all those shops that those hundreds of other games they’re selling currently only exist outside of the US. How embarrassing for us…
That’s just false. There are vast rural areas and communities in every state. If you think it’s only in a select few states in the middle of the country, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Americans absolutely need cars due to the size of the country. We like our space. We’re not being duped into buying cars for no good reason.
Don’t confuse the difficulty of unionization with the lack of need/want. Most states are “at will”, which means they can pretty much fire you for whatever, whenever. Couple that with low wages and poor social programs, and you have a vast amount of workers who can’t afford to go on strike.
However, many of us are living comfortably, with decent wages, insurance, and paid time off. Folks from other places really tend to forget how many people are here, and just how varied the situations can be. It’s not dire for many of us, but if you’re on the bottom, the struggle is nearly insurmountable. Which, unfortunately, is by design. We’re working on it though, just don’t equate tv shows to an accurate depiction of a country of 300 million.
The way they play in Critical Role is not by the book.

Can people you don’t love have correct ideas too?
As an old D&D player, I’ve been through multiple editions, and I honestly don’t get the hate for 5e. It’s not needlessly complex as 3 was, and not as brain dead as 4. It’s accessible to everyone, with enough complexity for those of us that liked 3. Pathfinder was fine, but trying it again after 5e is like watching extra work just appear on your table.
If you really want a good time, where the system is truly different for the better, then try Star Wars Force and Destiny. Best system around in my opinion.
I definitely think it’s worth trying. My wife is similar, I believe, as the rules and general way of playing were daunting, and made it not necessarily seem like something she would enjoy. We assured her that we would take it slow while she got the hang of it. She is still getting ideas for what’s possible, but she has her own character’s mechanics down, which is great. Best of luck to you!
I’ve played with the same group for 7 years, almost every Friday, but we do take some weeks off here and there for family/work/etc. My wife is accommodating, but it was taking a toll since we do love hanging out with each other. Then, a couple of years ago, we invited her to play again, and she actually did. Now she’s part of the group, and we are all having a blast on Friday nights. Lucky situation, I grant you that, but achievable.
I loved this game.
You don’t have to. It isn’t required. I setup end points everyday with local users.
