Sometimes I like to get high and play a bunch of Starcraft 64. Something about the chunky graphics and CRT vibes just puts me in a good headspace and makes the stress of the world melt away.

What RTS do you turn to when you are just vibing?

Cozy + RTS feels incompatible considering the entire genre is known for being constant pressure. But:

  • Creeper World only requires setting up an initial defensive position, and everything else after can be done at a leisurely pace. (Might have changed with CW4, because some maps may have threat-increasing stacks, and because the creep can splash over some fortifications.
  • Dungeon Keeper, which has more focus on building a lair rather than dealing with constant enemy attacks.

Cozy since you can probably let these games run for a bit without having to worry about getting your progress lost.
