Exactly! Tower Defence, MOBA, and all the other games built out of the RTS engine in custom maps replaced it, and this all happened years before Zoomers were even walking much less playing advanced video games.

Blaming the RTS genre dying on zoomers would be like blaming them for killing 90s rap, they had nothing to do with it and it's downright ludicrous to suggest.

Rattlesnake in the wild, thanks to an insane ex-military Scout leader I had that was trying to prove a point to us (his Scout troop).

It was actually a lot better than I expected, but I wouldn't recommend it for a number of (hopefully) obvious reasons.

What about TNG: Encounter At Farpoint aka the first appearance of Q?

Controversial? You are literally the first person I've ever heard say that.

Yeah I am gonna be honest, I am pretty much over this "trend" thing, the quality of memes has gone downhill. I'd prefer less memes of better quality than logging into Risa and having to figure out why some random side character is suddenly the punchline to every joke.

Hell even my friend that doesn't visit the site but I link them choice memes was immediately bored of the trends, and they only saw a small segment of what I felt were the best ones, and they're the biggest Star Trek fan I know.

Look, this is gonna sound rude and maybe it is, but I am not a fucking moron and I know that's how it works. I specifically stated that I have used linux in the past, and I can easily google any specific game and find out if it does or doesn't work.

I was asking what distro is best for people to give current opinions on the subject, not because I cannot google very basic cut and dry info. I appreciate that you are trying to help but I am not about to sit here for hours typing the name of every game I might be interested in playing, so that someone else can read it and check it for me, were you about to spend your entire night checking games I listed for me? Of course you weren't, and the entire idea of either of us doing that is insane.

With all due respect, if you have any opinion on which distro is currently the best for gaming feel free to share it, don't waste both our times with useless basic linux info that I already knew about.

Literally why are you even here? I am not interested in your bullshit, I am done with windows, and I don't understand why the fuck you seem to feel the need to argue with me and disrespect me. Microsoft doesn't care about any petition, linux works fine for every game I play, and you are being an aggressive douche to me in your Microsoft dick sucking fanboyism.

Go find a better hobby, you should be blocked from this sub for being such a troll.

As a Canadian, with the preface that some of my best friends are Americans and I mean this with all due love and respect, we see you as the Ferengi not the Klingons.

Uh... you know he was a Canadian right?

James Montgomery Doohan (/ˈduːən/; March 3, 1920 – July 20, 2005) was a Canadian actor and author, best known for his role as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the television and film series Star Trek. Doohan's characterization of the Scottish chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise was one of the most recognizable elements in the Star Trek franchise, and inspired many fans to pursue careers in engineering and other technical fields.[1] He also made contributions behind the scenes, such as the initial development of the Klingon and Vulcan languages. Prior to his acting career, Doohan served in the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division.

 

I know the "best linux for gaming" is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?
