I think Married With Children has managed to come through unscathed because of Ed O'Neil and who he is as a person. He's so much the opposite of Al Bundy and has always been very open about that. The show as a result falls into that same category as South Park or All in the Family; We understand that the jokes are meant to be satire via absurdity; It's so over the top and the actor is so different in real life that we just get it.

Compare that to something like Home Improvement, where we know that the humour isn't meant to be absurdist, and we know that Tim Allen really is a douche.

I never saw those moments as Kif being homophobic. I read it as a subordinate being repulsed by the idea of seeing his commanding officer naked.

I hadn't noticed. but I have no real comparison since I was on Linux long before starting either title, so I've never played either on Windows.

They seem to run well enough, so even if its faster on windows and that's the tradeoff for having no Windows in my house, I'm cool with it.

I'd say yes; with the mods available 2 is still WELL worth it. i n fact I'm doing yet another play through at this moment.

1 is also excellent, especially with the Long War overhaul installed.

Most of mine have already been mentioned; KSP, Rimworld, Stellaris.

So I'll add one of my all time favourite games and say XCom and XCOM 2. I've sunk hundreds of hours into xcom 2 with various mods.

Close second is Crusader Kings 2, and close third after that is Empire Total War.

And of course CIV. It's not a proper list without CIV.

Nothing is unknowable. It's just unknowable for now.

Yeah, not a high-end business.

You are incredibly naive.

Short answer. Yes.

Long answer: I'm 48. And while some of what we are feeling is certainly a sense of "back in my day" nostalgia, its certainly not the only cause.

We are from a strange generation who were old enough to remember a world before all of this, and young enough to adapt to all of it with relative ease. ( "this" being a transition to an online existence)

Even one generation before us just simply struggles with it. And just one generation after us, while still "born" before this all became a thing, were to young to truly experience it.

So we have a very unique and valuable perspective to offer; one that says "yes, things seemed better back then, and that is likely most certainly true for many things. But some things were likely just as fucked up back then and we simply didn't have the internet screaming it at us 24-7. And perhaps right and left were not quite as polarized as they are today because of it.

Just my Gen-x take on it.

That is very true. Good point.

Yes.

Anyone who says differently is confusing "necessity" with "efficiency".

When I first started in Linux I rarely used the command line at all. But as time went on and I became more familiar, I found that there were some things that were simply faster to do in the command line.

I can't think of a single "everyday regular user task" than needs the command line, tbh.
