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

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.

Red Alert II for me would be great.

A plea to the various lab engineering teams: please create a json format or whatever that lets me configure this with voices locally. I am a happy user as of late of the Codex app by Open AI. It would be great if I could just give it some JSON somehow and it just works. I suppose skills can do this and I will try that later on. But I think this stuff matters, and it would be nice to have it built in and encouraged.

The warcraft 2 demo had Easter eggs. One voice sample was "in the retail version I'm much funnier".

For years I had Pidgin spam "Leave me alone" when I got pings. Man those voices are deeply embedded in my psyche

that's what i ended up doing — it was pretty easy:

* download Warcraft II voices

* tell claude to wire it all up

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.
