But you'd have to look far and wide to find a place in real life where you can cast spells or build an explosive robot sheep or ride a giant griffon.
Your outlook of real life possibilities looks awfully somber to me. If one has to constantly worry about survival it can look rather dull, true, but such person wouldn't have time to play anyway. But if one has a bit of time on their hands, one can: write a story, make a painting, climb a mountain, make one's own movie or computer game, run a marathon, learn hundreds of different skills, maybe even ultimately build that explosive robot sheep . The possibilities are endless.
