The Ancient Gaming NoobTotal 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!

Jerry on MastodonI never liked the changes Microsoft made to the Start menu with <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a> 10 and 11. Now they want to add advertising, which, for now, you can disable, but still...I've been using Start11 for years on my Windows machines to replace the start menu and task bar that comes with Windows. It's quite inexpensive, and it gives me a start menu and task bar as I like it. There are a ton of customizations.If you don't like the Windows start menu and task bar, this is worth a look:<a href="https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/</a><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/StarDock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarDock</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Start11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Start11</a>
