I have to repeat myself here:
If you’re into #RTS #gaming and loved classics like #Dune2, #TotalAnnihilation, or #SupremeCommander—and you’re an old fart like me (kidding!)—
you need to check out the best modern RTS out there.

I'm finishing up #SupremeCommander 2, only a couple of levels left, neat RTS with bonker size battles, and okay story, though one of the moment that left me speechless was the appearance of this fire breathing Dinosaur, it was so random
Also, I wish the transports worked similar to how they work in #SupremeCommander. Each plane seems to carry only one unit. While you can build a ferry route by alternating between load, move and unload commands and setting it on repeat, it still takes a while to transport a tank column. Unless you have an amphibious/hover assault unit securing the beachhead, it's probably going to end badly.
Total Annihilation: A 2025 Return to a Retro RTS Classic
First I was writing about TorilMUD adding new features, now I am writing about one of the big 90s RTS titles, Total Annihilation. I feel like I need to boot Civ II up to complete the 25+ year old set... and with Civ VII coming out next month, maybe I will!

Finished all three campaigns in #SupremeCommander. 🥳
This was a really enjoyable game, at least in “easy” mode. It was just the right balance between relaxing and thinking about how to win. (I have no interest in playing against another human being – far too stressful. 😂)
Played a bit of #SupremeCommander since I’ve got it to work again a couple of weeks ago.
I’m really bad at these kinds of games and I’m shamelessly playing in easy mode. It is fun, though, and it is certainly nice to look at, because it’s a full 3D world with arbitrary zoom levels. (Maybe this is a standard thing today, I don’t know – the only other RTS I ever played was Command and Conquer.)
It runs on my (super loud) #WindowsXP box. but don’t you dare tell me this is “retrogaming”. 😅
Hmpf. Another DVD that fell victim to “being too old”. I ignored it for too long, now it’s unreadable. ☹️
“Supreme Commander”, the last game for Windows that I bought (I think), 2007. One of the (then) fascinating novelties was the arbitrary zoom and rotation: It wasn’t just a top-down view like the usual strategy games, but a full 3D world. I think you could zoom in to view the world from the perspective of an individual unit. That was quite exciting. 😅
I hope I can dig up a backup of this. I’d love to play it again.
Just discovered #BeyondAllReason. I can’t believe that such a high quality and ambitious #SupremeCommander spiritual successor exists. The #FOSS community never ceases to amaze me
@nicemicro @dneaves Looks like a #supremecommander homage? I love #rts games but I'm no good at them. Last one I really played a bunch was #starcraft2 and that was ages ago. I'll have to check it out; all #FOSS #games deserve at least a demo period. :)
Mechabellum is a new Early Access release from Game River and Paradox Arc (the publishing arm of Paradox Interactive). #SupremeCommander https://gamesense.co/game/supreme-commander/news/discuss/mechabellum-is-an-auto-battling-supreme-commanderi-m-completely-hooked/
@Omstero Hard question, there are many great ones! 😅
I really liked the original Supreme Commander and have not yet seen another game like it.
There is this PvP mod called FAF and a YouTuber who casts matches that keeps it alive:

I suppose I should share some of my interests to find folks who have interests in common.
As a reader and (fanfic) writer, I write and read:
#BattleTech (or #MechWarrior if you will)
#MyLittlePony (of course)
#DoctorWho
#Crossover
#ScienceFiction
And I’ve got something in the works that I’m hoping to finally launch on FiMFiction within the next year. My job and other life stuff has been making that… difficult.
As a gamer, I enjoy to varying degrees:
#Chess (and #5DChessWithMultiverseTimeTravel. Is that not a hashtag yet? It is now!)
#BattleTech (again, though I’m mainly focused on the #MechWarrior spinoff series in that regard)
#SupremeCommander
#Minecraft
#8BitArmies
#EliteDangerous (and #EliteDangerousOdyssey because that apparently has its own tag!)
#PlanetaryAnnihilation
#MegaMan
#SonicTheHedgehog
#Halo
There’s honestly a lot more, but that covers most of the biggest players in my fandom life right now.
Hi everyone, bit of a quick #introduction, been interested in #gaming and #games since the Sinclair Spectrum.
Top games probably #Morrowind #SupremeCommander (make sure to check out the FaF community), #Civilization #Halo #Quake #Doom #TotarWar #Elite. Mainly play on #PC or #Xbox, but own a #PS5, #NintendoSwitch etc.
Used to run a fairly substantial network of gaming websites back in the olden days.

Okay 16 joueur (dont moi sur la map) 🤣 ... ça me rappel certaines parties de #SupremeCommander ou ont passait nuit blanche en LAN 😅(le bon vieux temps ...🤣)
