The meaning of the word Gay has shifted a lot in different directions over the decades. Way, way back "gay" had the meaning of joyful and fun, without any form of connotation to sexuality. Just as a addition to your text, please don't read it in any kind of negative meaning.
There are not much possibilities to legally own games left. Physical releases are nearly full gone on PC (physical boxes only containing Steam Keys), and even on Consoles they become less and less common (or turned into something like the Switch 2 Game cards). On the digital release front only GOG comes to mind as as store where one could say that one owns the game after purchase and download. Everything else only sell licenses that can be revoked or removed any moment.
And have epic fights against Thomas the tank engine
And there are more then enough systems out there for everyone to find his perfect match and then some.
In general I don't really like Pen&Paper RPGs where you need miniatures (and for worse range finder tools) to play them. But that is a me thing, don't read my words as that I want to say D&D should change. Far away from that, D&D is a great game and I love it on the PC (where it IMHO only works, not at the table)
If I think more about it i come to conclusion that is not really the math per se, but what I find boring is that 90% of the rules (measured by feeling) are about battle and battle takes such a huge and detailed part in the game.
That is one reason I don't like D&D, it is a glorified boardgame the hides it's wargame roots under a very thin layer. I like tactical rpg on the computer but investing that level of math and detail in a pen & paper game is so boring, for me at least.
You can't really change the code of the windows Kernel and boot your own, that's one of the things stopping people now
Yes, but with a modified Kernel you can fake what the anticheat reads when it checks the key, so you just feed it the key it wants to see instead of your own. The anticheat module would need run on a higher level then the Kernel itself to prevent that, for example alongside the CPU (like the Intel Management Engine).
You can add your own signing keys to the UEFI and boot an modified bootloader and Kernel that you have signed yourself. So yes, it is possible to "lie"
For such a locked down system, akin to game consoles or smartphones, would be needed. And even those get jail broken and manipulated, so "total security" on there is not complete but easier to check and ensure. Another way to make sure that the code is not manipulated would be to put all those games into the cloud and have every player only play via streaming. All the code would then run on secured, locked down and verified machines.
I played for a while on the switch, controlling with buttons and stick is so much better then with a finger on a phone or tablet, but they kind of stopped supporting the switch version with new updates only available to mobile OS. It is a fun little game to kill a few minutes.
I tried Elder Scrolls: Castles when it came out but it didn't click with me.
