In defense of hard counters in real time strategy games

That's something I didn't notice but I understand. As an Emacs user that had to end up using Vim mode (evil) due to such concerns.

As I said, spent a lot of effort getting good at SupCom and didn't feel like learning everything again for the expansion.. For me a perfect SupCom would be a SupCom 1 with better performance and graphics. Prefer games that are focused on economics and construction than rushing and getting some land resources, which was the focus in SupCom FA and I guess is better for most people. SupCom 2 I played like 5 hours so I don't even remember much other than I didn't like it.

Haven't played any games, other than VR, in years but I will install SupCom and play a few hours for the memories..

There's a group of FAF dev's who are making a SupCom successor called "Ashes of the Singularity", and there express goal is basically to make a SupCom that's multithreaded with an efficient network model (Gyle did a cast to introduce it).

Haha. I completely forgot there was actual SupCom 2 and not straight to FA... yeah, it was bad.

In 2017 I overheard my physics TA who was like 6 years older than me mention SupCom to another TA during a lab. Was so weird to hear somebody mention it in the wild. I talked to him about it a bit, he ended up whizzing me straight thru all the labs the rest of the semester.
