Typical HN. A post about Wine with 11 comments, of which 100% are meta comments about the version number and 0% about Wine itself. Wine is great, since it can run Age of Empires 2 in network mode without any issues (less issues than on Windows 7, actually), I can fully ditch Windows on my laptop! :)

AoE II HD or regular? Is it possible to do LAN gaming with the HD version? I thought it's only for Steam users. Also, I'm interested in figuring out how to install Chinese language packs for AoE II HD without weird font issues. Yes, I just confirmed that Hacker News comments are often off-topic. But at least we agree that Wine is great for AoE.

  It isn't off-topic, as the version number is incorrect. Why one of the mods changed it to an incorrect version number is beyond me.

  Age of Forgotten Empires (the community mod) works great. I don't know about other versions.

To be fair, this seems a pretty incremental release. There's nothing groundbreaking that 4.20 can do that 4.19 can do and this post doesn't list any specific apps that have had major improvements in functionality. People could discuss wine in general, but that would require new talking points to interest most people.
