How To Break My Computer
she/her
I think you guys should debate the family topic in SD. (As previously stated, I think breaking your own computer is a terribly stupid idea.)

JackThis is pretty much the reason programs run faster under wine than windows. If you had a brand new windows install with only that one program on it, it would run at the same speed as on wine, if not a bit faster. Because of the way linux is run, it doesn't have the same problem with getting clogged up and getting lower and slower as time goes on. Even if it did have that problem, with a new major distro every 6 months, you basically won't give it time to slow down.
Basically you have to regularly reinstall windows to keep it running at top speed, but you don't with wine + linux.

I still disagree with you, because even a fresh installation of Windows takes up excess resources with superfluous services and settings that Ubuntu does not have. Ubuntu takes as much RAM as Windows 2000, whereas, XP takes at least twice as much to run as well. I think that the sheer fact that Ubuntu doesn't bog down the system as much as Windows is the reason that it runs just as fast, if not faster on Ubuntu, even if it's through a layer, which, BTW, is the same as Windows does, since StarCraft is a '95 game, and so newer versions of Windows must emulate older versions, just as Wine does.
None.
Your parents are, from what I've heard on battle.net and in this thread, totally unreasonable bastards. The way I see it, you really only have two options: either you discretely modify your computers software to make it run poorly (and hope they buy a new one), or get a job and buy one yourself. The former is quite risky, as your parents may decide to just get rod of the computer and be done with it because "you spend all your time on the computer." That said propose you try the latter, and hope that your getting a job will appeal to your parents' desire to see you get off of your ass and do something. If that doesn't work, just conclude that your parents are total douchebags, give up, and cry.
None.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
