Is it Windows 3.11 or 95 ? 😂

I prefer Windows ME with that sweet Diablo 2 burned CD-ROM. I’m going with 10 for now and I’m hoping it doesn’t nag me into 11.

Y U NO PROTON ?

The mail is great, but I don’t really mess too much with Linux gaming compatibility layers. I had bad Wine experiences when I was younger and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I know support and compatibility is much better now, but I’m a hardcore old school gamer trying to tweak the most out of frames and NVIDIA driver configurations. I also don’t want to junk up my daily linux machines with extra packages. I think this old machine is rocking a GTX 1080 and I want that pure driver to hardware comms.

Why not StarCraft?

I’m really really bad at StarCraft. 😂 Command and Conquer and Civ clicked better with me on RTS. I was more into professional CounterStrike and games like PAYDAY where you rob banks, hack, stealth, etc. Twitch based games, simulations, and subversion based games are usually my go to.

I understand you're into robbing banks.

What is a Twitch based game?

Are the banks not robbing us? I should have clarified - twitch based shooters. “Twitch-based shooters are a subgenre of first-person shooting games that reward players for displaying fast and accurate reflexes and are generally very fast-paced.”

Oh, wow. I thought Twitch was that website.

Everybody is bad at StarCraft: that is the game! The game is being bad!

Played for 20 years and still barely can get out of gold.

There is no gold.
