I Only Play WoW on the Steam Deck and I regret nothing
Ah, that makes sense. If you're wanting to relive the glory days with some modern improvements, I wholeheartedly recommend the Wargus and DevilutionX replacement engines for Warcraft 2 and Diablo 1 (respectively). They bring those games up to more modern resolutions and methods of connectivity (for easy LANing with friends) and also add quite a few quality-of-life features that just make the games nicer to play on newer systems. And they both have Linux support, though I haven't tried them on the Deck yet. Note that you'll need the original game data files to play these, and they'll require a bit of work to set up.
- Reminder for SC1 Modders + Modding Noobs like me; Before Starcraft (SC1 + BW) turns 25 on the 31st of March = April 1st (the day of Rooster Teeth of RedVsBlue), what do you guys think of Stargus (Starcraft1 Stratagus) until a new version like 3.3.? for better customs until late 2023 possibly? (RePo)

How does the "AI" work in old RTS games?
In the case of Stratagus/Wargus (open source clone of Warcraft II), the AI at its top level has an ordered list of goals/commands, to give it a sensible progression and allow it to be tailored to specific scenarios while hiding a lot of complexity. Like here's the land attack script for random scenarios, and there's separate scripts for air and sea attacks. Specific campaigns also have their own scripts for each AI player like this one.

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.
