I doubt it. people like Jebediah actually think these are "cutting
edge". 7 has even assured us that Linux is the *choice* of hard core
gamers.

Seriously, you could not make this nonsense up.

The graphics in most of those games look like something from the 1980's.

Depends on the game. "Hard core" types are the sort that care about
that last %1 and are willing to otherwise suffer for it. So the
notion that a "hard core" type might choose Linux (even for gaming)
is not as farfetched as you would like people to believe.

The "serious" gamer that isn't quite dedicated enough to be "hard core"
is the sort that wouldn't put enough effort into it to seek out and
install another platform just to have some sort of edge (percieved
or otherwise).

"hard core" are the people that buy the $500 speedos.

If it mattered to the sort of edge they were trying to get, they
would put up with VMS or Multics if necessary.

I don't think you really know what "hard core" means.

As someone recently said here, when you have to resort to attacks like
that, it means you can't find a valid way to deal with the argument.
Now who was it that said that...oh, year. It was Roy. Looks like Roy
agrees with Derrick on Linux games.

Yea...
I was waiting for someone to pick that point up.
Schestowitz can't debate, he can't discuss and he certainly can't advocate
so he does what he does best.

I disagree with Roy. Derrick was not (just) a Troll. He was also an
Idiot. In fact, the menu above is not the best UI item for selecting
all of the characteristics of "Derrick".

But leave it to Tim to inflate the meaning of a common dismissal of an
idiotic troll attempt, labelling it an *attack*.

You're giving me a chuckle, Tim!

You deride Roy's game, yet seem to be playing it, too.

Ironically, by doing so you might actually be *attacking* him.

And thus, by your very own reasoning, *agreeing* with him!

Oh dear. That might overflow your stack!

(Cue some other attacker to "agree" with me)

Timmy thinks that calling him "Timmy" is an attack. Guffaw.

This place is full of jokes, badinage, insinuation, outright contempt,
and egregious insults. It's difficult to take it all in stride, all the
time.
