I helped a lady your age pick out a color for a room in her house, and she ended up going for a very bright peach. She loved it so much she put it in every room in her house where she didn’t have a color picked out.
If you aren’t planning to sell in a year or two, I say pick something that makes you happy when you see it. Realtors might have a different favorite color in 5 years.
You also need to account for where the really tall people are in the row in front of you. Social optimization be damned, I want to see!
That assumes every human being has the same base of knowledge and people have to cater to that to tell a good joke. You can just not like it.

At this point, it looks like the Community Council was being (or saw itself as being) overridden. This defeated the purpose of the council, and attempts to fix this were (allegedly!) ignored, so three out of four members resigned.

Occasionally I’ll watch a playthrough of a game I’m interested in something about (the plot or aesthetic), but don’t think I’d enjoy playing.
Mostly, though, I watch like the Drawfee stream where they do improv comedy and draw audience suggestions. I’d almost rather watch a vod of a game I’m curious about, but comedy streams with audience participation benefit from seeing them live.
I think a lot of streamers are basically amateur comedians doing bits with something like a videogame to give them material. mst3k-like.
Others will play a game early or right away and be able to review as you watch. They’ll say like the controls feel sloppy or the theme is grating and you’ll experience that with them. Not a big deal for most people, but for highly anticipated games people are excited about, it helps give a sense of whether a game is worth playing for them in a slightly different way than a written or recorded review.
Watching people play a dnd game live gives you the energy in the chat while watching, which can make more exciting or interesting the play (do people in chat who know dnd think what’s happening was a good idea? is everyone freaking out at a roll? is there a person who explains things in there which helps you understand for your own game?) It also protects you from getting spoiled when something dramatic happens.
There are people who play music or paint or work on a skill on stream, and that comes with a touch of the fun of watching a live performance. There’s some extra excitement when you see stuff in real time and they could fuck up or they could do something amazing.
