You don't have to. It isn't required. I setup end points everyday with local users.

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.

Let's not strawman and say I'm excusing war crimes. Hamas and religious extremism are the enemies here. Innocents, non-combatants should always be left unmolested.

However, the fact that you call the Islamic agenda of exterminating the Jews "hostile rhetoric" is so naive. It's basically ignoring what every Islamic state actually does and says. You're dismissive of one of the most important facets of the entire conflict.

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.

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...

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.
