Depends on the RTS. Some can last hours, if not days of gametime depending on how you can configure them.

If you love history stuff try out some of Paradox's Grand Strategy stuff, the sessions on those could at least take you a week sometimes to finish!

I don't really like the thought of having to play a 30-minute+ real-time session non-stop.

What about RTSs, Ducky?
I'm good at 'em, they're exceptions because of it.

Don't RTS games last about 30 minutes too?

cool suprised you didnt say doom

I know there were ports of Doom on other consoles, but with the PC version still being modded today, using an emulator to play Doom is redundant.

A lot of console ports for DOOM have reduced amounts of visuals/level geometry, and trying to use custom .WADs is probably difficult if possible at all. The PS1 probably had the best port but the visuals/resolution is still a bit low.

I'd just like to mention Pokémon Liquid Crystal and Pokémon Glazed are two modded pokémon games for GBA emulators, just incase you hadn''t heard of them. Super Mario World is great if you have either a GBA or SNES emulator, along with all their custom versions which usually run on SNES emulators.

I do enjoy history and reading all about it but as others have mentioned it could be very hard to find any practical job or career with it. Reading about the great Crusades, Colonisation, the troubles of the not-so-Holy not-so-Roman Empire and the Napoleonic Wars just to name a few is always quite interesting although it's so something I don't think I'd see much practical use for. It doesn't have to be practical though, if you love it then keep reading about it! I absolutely love it so whether it's practical or not wouldn't bother me.

It's practical if you intend to work at, say, a museum. However there isn't enough museums in the world to make them a viable job choice.

Archaeology too!

Writing or history, those are the only two subjects I'm interested in.

Glad to see someone else here that likes history, if I could get a job in it that gets me enough money to own my own house (heck, even my own apartment) and still have enough money leftover for myself that would be an area I'd like to get into.

shit taste

Despite popular belief, water does have a taste. There's a very big difference between tap water and bottled drinking water. You ever gulped down water at a swimming pool? Compared that with drinking water.

That's because it's chlorinated water. Bottled water is likely to have different sorts of minerals in it. Water itself is tasteless but depending on where it's from and what else is put in it can alter it to give it a taste.

Besides water, milk is great. Not low fat.
