Hello, fellow 40-45(?) year old. I feel like anyone preferring Warcraft III is in their 30s. Grew up with the Warcraft II Battle Chest and it was a vibe .

Same. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

On macOS, in iTerm2, Claude will trigger notifications. I was impressed!

(and also annoyed: I don't like notifications. Then again, I don't have Claude do long things where I can go get a coffee)

I love this idea, but I really wish it were Warcraft II voices.

Extremely easy to do with sound recording software or youtube mp3 downloaders. Takes a little imagination and makes programming less onerous in a deviate kind of way.

Showing my age here, but the original samples are available too, and in MP3 or WAV format - they're in the installation directory of the game (in case of StarCraft and W3, hidden in a weird pseudo-ZIP data file (used to call it "Virtual File System")). That's where we sourced them from to set them as system sounds, back when Windows versions were still in four digits. If you're enough of a fan to want to use these vo…
