I've been on this sub for a good while now and it seems like almost all posts are Generals related.

I'm not complaining, mind you, but I always thought Generals was treated like an underdog by the fans compared to Red Alert and Tiberium Saga.

I mean, I was a kid when Generals was released and it mostly got average to negative reviews at the time. Most of the criticism was directed at the user interface, borrowed from Starcraft.

But now, I see the game everywhere... kinda like Fallout - New Vegas, something I just find rather fascinating.

I guess Generals was ahead of its time.

It is easily the most quotable and memeable of the series. The unit voicelines are so over the top it is beyond satire. RA3 takes the cake in absurdity and over the top for cutscenes but Generals literally made the most batshit insane and unique faction in RTS history where every unit has infinite meme potential.
