Don’t be unnerved by our superior life experience!

I’m not sure I’d stick to calling it the worst version “ever” since MS is trying really hard to out do themselves.

I hate the Apple association, but everything else feels pretty valid.

As both and American and a lover of Belgian ales, I’d be inclined to agree that we almost certainly don’t have better beer than you (or I) would prefer. We do have some excellent beer, but the focus is on other styles.

I guess we’ll just ignore that Tomb Raider 2 came out two years before DK64 and they had gone way out of their way to “fix” Lara’s chest.

That sucks, I guess I have been fortunate that my I haven’t had any major issues with either of my Nvidia cards using the proprietary drivers. Are you using the 4000 series cards? I haven’t tried them as my 3070 is still doing fine and has been since release.

This is for real. I have never been so disappointed in a video game, and I had E.T for the Atari 2600 as a kid.

It’s missing probably the worst sequel ever, Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace. Holy god was that movie awful. Maybe the list didn’t include it because it did so poorly that not enough people were disappointed.

I’m just glad Highlander 2 was near the top.

I’m not sure I consider myself a “veteran” since I still used Windows most of the time back then, but I used it in the late 90s. This is all anecdotal from my perspective, but the late 90s Linux experience was pretty rough on the desktop side, especially installing it. I actually rarely saw Debian in use, it was usually Red Hat for the sane people or Slackware for the lunatics. There were a few notable Linux game ports, but generally speaking, gaming wasn’t something most people did or even expected to do in Linux. I think I had a small handful games that weren’t terminal roguelikes: Doom, Quake, Tux Racer, and Alpha Centauri ( this one might have been early 2000s, hard to recall ). I can’t say I personally saw anyone openly using it at the university level in almost any form when I attended, I saw a lot of Unix though. Everyone I knew that was using Linux was younger and did have a slightly hobbyist leaning, with the more serious people usually using OpenBSD or FreeBSD.

It’s too early to call me out like this man, I’m not caffeinated.
