id Software consolidates its Steam listings. "We’re rounding up id games on Steam for an improved shopping experience."
On the other hand BFG edition supports 120Hz rendering and has some great gamepad support. However the "shoulder lamp" and some tweaked brighter lighting destroys the game's atmosphere IMO while some textures and lights appear worse. I'd still recommend it if you liked the original game, but perhaps also play it with RBDoomBFG and its GI datapak - it introduced PBR shaders and changes the lighting considerably, but the game wasn't designed for that so i'd recommend it only for a second playthrough (you can disable most of the effects but even then it still looks off). The official BFG edition is closer to the original Doom 3 but still has its own issues so unless you want 120Hz rendering and/or gamepad support, i'd still recommend the original (with Dhewm3). Also note that the original BFG edition doesn't allow you to skip cutscenes which is annoying for a second playthrough.
BFG has better out of the box support, but both versions are open source and as such the community has made source ports for both of them to the point they are essentially equivalent and you only pick the one with the features you want the most, last time I played was using BFG because RBDOOM3 added support for PBR so the game isn't so absurdly dark but your mileage may vary and may prefer dhewm3's more faithful experience using the original release

The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party
Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

Ask HN: What older games are you playing through?
After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/
I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

Any way to play on a MacBook Pro?
Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.
