I appreciate the fact that the distro community is diverse enough to accommodate even people whose personal preferences are this objectively wrong. ;)

That's a good thought. I was halfway considering a drop of liquid smoke, but this sounds a lot better. ;)
Thanks! I'll take a look. I ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HXVPK2D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and, well... it's not terrible, but I can't justify $36 for a bottle of what's effectively just an herbal tea.
Lots of console titles in the comments here. Easy answer there is Zelda 2.
To answer the question as posed, though, Star Control 3 was a massive disappointment after its amazing predecessor.
The Legend of Zelda. So many amazing, visceral memories associated with that game- cracking open the package and gawping at the golden cartridge, leafing through the manual, looking at the paper map while running around in game, exploring, sweating through the labyrinthine later dungeons, hacking my way out of a like-a-like, braving the graveyard for the magic sword, the music... It was like 35 years ago and it's still a helluva thing.
My absolute, #1 biggest recommendation is to male separate partitions for / and /home.
What does this mean? In short, you're telling the system to treat different sections of the hard drive / ssd as entirely separate buckets. In this case, you're putting all of the operating system and programs in one bucket ( / ) and keeping all of your files and settings in another (/home).
Why does this matter? As someone learning Linux, you should tinker with things, learn what they do and how they work. Sometimes, that means breaking things, occasionally in spectacular ways. Having your files and your OS separate means that you can completely wreck your OS while you learn without losing your data in the process- you can reinstall from scratch or even distro hop (try out a new version) without having to stress over losing anything. In short, you can learn and play and blunder and explore without risking anything more than a 20 minute reinstall if you can't figure out how to fix it.
