I've been using a linux box auto-starting Kodi which is controlled by an MCE remote for about 10-15 years now. Both my partner (who is tech negative, seriously everyday they yell at their work laptop) and 5 year old kid at the time had no trouble with it. I personally love it. With the add-ons and such I've basically turned it in to a Home Entertainment Center. I've download Lutris and with a little tweaking I'm emulating a ton of old games and I've installed the Kodi add-on that lets me integrate Lutris to I don't have to leave the Kodi environment and bale to desktop is which is great. I've also got an add on in Kodi to open Steam in big picture straight from a button on my Kodi favorites. So I can go from playing Slay the Spire on Steam to watch an episode of Scrubs to playing Mario Kart Double Dash in Dolphin, all with out seeing the desktop.
On the other hand I haven't invested in one of those fancy remotes that lets me power on the PC so before I sit down I got turn on the PC which means the PC sits on a shelf in the living room. But to be honest we often leave it on for days on end, which I suspect racks up the power bills a bit, but lets me just turn on the TV and go. I also haven't invested in a HDMI - CEC set up so I have to have two remotes one for powering on the TV and a second for everything else. And getting Linux to recognize my 3.1 soundbar is a forking nightmare it still only see it as a stereo soundbar but hey it still sound good.
Over all I really love the Kodi HTPC set up for the heft of added home gaming stuff,but if you're looking for something more low profile I have a Raspberry PI running OpenElec stuck to the back of my bedroom TV with double-sided tape. OpenElec is a branch of the Kodi main steam for small PCs. The bonus on this is that the Pi's have built in CEC so you will only need the one remote.

Seriously good co-op game Untitled Goose. Lots of great little puzzles that are even more interesting with two players. And the humour makes it even better when you can share the joke.

Don’t worry to much I’m sure he’ll be able to apply for refugee status in the USA.

I know, like I’ve loved David Tennant and Eccleston is probably my favourite, but when you say Doctor Who, Tom Baker is the first image that comes in to my head. He might not be my favourite but he is my Doctor.

At this point I figure Sam Beckett leaping in to MTG is most reasonable answer.

They’re better drivers then most people in my state.

Eh, Samwise was on the verge of slipping into becoming an incel at the start of the book, but fortunately his mate pulled him up helped him build up a better vision of being a man.

 

Seriously LA Theater people I am disappointed. It would make for an amazing viral video.

 

Ok, Lemmy, let's another play a game!

And I honestly think this one’s more important.

Post how many languages in which you can say Please and Thank You, including your native language. If you can, please provide which languages and how to phonetically say them so the rest of us can learn!

I spent a fair amount of bopping around Europe in the early Aughts and as a native English speaker, I found everyone appreciating my bad mangled attempts at politeness.
