Less access? what? What places are you comparing?
I live in a city and have never felt like I have less access than when I was in the car centered suburbs.

It was a good game. Not perfect, but very good.
Even the things I don't like are pretty minor.
One of the reasons UBI games are trash
I parsed that as "universal basic income games" and was really confused. Ubisoft makes more sense
I feel like advertisers and capitalism are so gross, they've poisoned the whole concept.
I don't think there's anything innately wrong or violent to put up a flyer that says like "I'm starting a frisbee club. We're meeting Saturdays at Noon in the park". That's an ad. But it's a whole other beast from ads that track you. Or ads that try to make you feel insecure or inadequate.
Seems like the shared trait is "what's good for the ownership class, in the most selfish short term sense?"
I've always had trouble finding players, not DMs, but yeah could be.
I found the solo play of both Remnant games really unsatisfying. Slow pacing, uninteresting enemies. Is it much better with friends?
I feel like if you're going to get a group that shows up on the regular you might as well just play regular DND?
Yeah, I mostly play Fate or nWoD. But a lot of people are really emotionally invested in D&D, so sometimes I think of ways to try to trick them into playing something different while they think they're still playing D&D.
no different than taking a bunch of books you bought second-hand and throwing them into a blender.
They didn't buy the books. They took them without permission.
I bet some obsessive nerd has converted DND to point buy (like wod, gurps, etc) instead of class and level based.
You get XP for stuff, and you can spend that as you like on all the stuff you'd get from leveling. Follow the recommended route and get a standard looking fighter. Or go crazy and buy nothing but hit dice. Or make a glass cannon by buying all the sneak attack dice and second attack (in case you miss) and nothing else.
Or, per this meme, buy superiority dice and maneuvers, and then also buy extended crit from champion.
It would be a mess. I think part of why dnd is popular is its comparably small decision space. There's just not a lot of room to fuck up your character
I read a post about different communication styles, and this is "builder vs maintainer". https://www.haileymagee.com/blog/three-communication-differences
A builder will try to add to the conversation by adding their own experiences. A maintainer will not add their own, but will focus on the other person's.
A builder talking about something may feel like a maintainer isn't that interested because they're not adding anything.
A maintainer talking to a builder may feel annoyed because the builder keeps talking about themselves.
