Honestly nothing will beat Warcraft 3 (pre ~~reforged~~ refunded) custom games for LAN parties.
Some of my favorite maps: Warlock (any 1.0X version), either teams or FFA, Uther Party, Battle Tanks, Archer Wars Legacy, Survival Chaos, Legion TD, Farmer vs Hunter, Founders of the North, Hungry Hungry Felhounds, The Predator (Version FINAL), etc.
Honestly there's just too many to count and even remember
there's also a mod that makes it so you can have simultaneous turn enabled permanently, although it does allow for some quirks and bug abuse, but it's such a massive time saver when every player can take their turn at the same time that its well worth it.
Are they really picking their OS then?
But yes I agree, most people will just use what they have and Windows is the standard because they made sure it would become the standard.
I call bullshit on this post. Since Windows 10 you can just double click a zip file and it opens up like any other directory (even if it isn’t) and shows you the files.
Just the other day I had to tell someone to unzip first before they could patch the rom (they were going to play some romhack on an emulator); I don't know how old they were but clearly there can be scenarios where someone has a zip file and don't know what to do with it or use it.
I don't even know what the rom was or which emulator they were using, because I just told them if they google Rom Patcher JS that's going to work for whatever file type it is, because according to them the problem was that the patcher they had didn't work...
But as it turns out they were trying to use the .zip archive as the patch file, so I then had to explain to them that they need to extract it first.
And afterwards the patcher they had did work so I don't think they even used Rom Patcher JS in the end.

not only are they selling at a loss, most of the sales aren't even real

I didn't have it set to true but I also never noticed any problem
you mean love it and never want to go back to a DE
I have a GUI file manager that I never use but I got it because I know at some point I'm going to want to be able to see thumbnails of images.
I tried to get some JumpStart games to run with DOSBOX a few years ago on Windows 7. Iirc I managed to install but not run the game.
I recently tried a bit to try and get another 16bit game run on Arch Linux with WINE in win98 or 95 mode but that still didn't pan out.
Honestly it's probably doable in some way without one but next time I try I'll probably use a VM (Virtual Machine).
Secondly, the purchase UI seems to have been designed to ensure that a new player can never understand it. I’m sure like all things it becomes clear over time but jeez, did a professional team really work on that thing?
Yes it's professionally designed, like all microtransaction games the shop is the most important feature and they're always designed to be confusing by forcing the user to jump through hoops and use multiple currencies to make it less obvious how much money you end up spending on the game if you're a "whale".
They don't want you to be able to have a direct association between how much money or time anything costs, that's why these games are so predatory and you should not be playing them, regardless of what you think of the actual game itself.
Well, I will say, for a "free" to play game League isn't that bad (especially not when compared to mobile games), or at least not last I played (3~4 years ago) but they still use the same methods.
Also as others have mentioned, the game's reputation in terms of it's community isn't exactly stellar. Being very "toxic".
But what I think is even worse than the language, which you at least can mute, is that the most popular streamer for the game "Tyler1" constantly rages, shouts, screams, destroys equipment and punches furniture etc.
Let's just say if your son starts doing those kinds of things then it's not (only) because they're going through a teenage phase it's probably also because of bad influences from the game and its community.
I don't know about the bug in particular but for the next time when/if your system hangs and seems completely unresponsive:
I recommend looking into the Magic SysRq Key, it shares the same button as print screen on the keyboard.
Depending on the keybinds enabled you can kill all processes and reboot the PC, among other things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
Right, I forget about that every time until I'm reminded of it. It's the first thing I change along with showing hidden files when helping someone. (Even if what they need help with is unrelated)
