I always hear about Dwarf Fortress being the spiritual progenitor of Rimworld; “It walked so Rimworld could Run” kind of thing. But honestly everything I’m reading in the comments makes it sound even MORE fucked up than Rimworld (in the best kind of way).
There was another bug where dwarfs would sometimes go blind after a fight. The problem was that they got blood in their eyes and had no way to get it out. This led to the addition of eyelids so they could blink away blood.
Starting with 2 cats would mean the extinction of local wildlife because they would breed and hunt everything until there are only cats.
Dwarf Fortress is so complicated that the bugs tend to be hilarious.
EDIT: Okay clearly the cat alcohol story is already infamous and is recounted much better about a dozen times in this very thread. XD
Also don’t forget players discovering tons of dead cats, apparently from alcohol poisoning.
If I recall correctly, their fur absorbed liquids. The cats walked in booze. Each paw counted erroneously as a full mug of beer absorbed. When the cats cleaned themselves, they drunk themselves to death.
Game is absolutely bonkers wild and a gem of emergent mechanics.
In Rimworld leather in leathercraft also does not care whats the origin of it. But it’s named appropriately. So you can be chilling on a leather couch made from your grandmother while admiring your new leather art piece you made from your son.
You should look up mermaid bone farming if you want to be horrified. It was so bad. Toady actually stepped in and made mermaid bones worthless so that we would stop the atrocities. Normally he’s all dwarves will be dwarves and blood for the blood God but this was the first recorded instance of him nerfing the game to change the way players played the game.
As you can see in the amount of games and genres I hovered up last year(s), I am interested in a lot of stuff.
Mostly interesting, meaningful games which are not too long and have a good narrative or emotional impact. I also love a good puzzle game, as there the emotional impact comes from solving the puzzle and appreciating the design. But also big blockbuster experiences if they are well designed and have a captivating narrative. My favorite games I played this year are:
The Last of Us Part I
Monument Valley
God of War Ragnarok
The Case of the Golden Idol (waiting for a price dip on the sequel)
Know and played and loved all of those, but good thing you’ve listed them here. Never really finished Mother Russia Bleeds, so that might be worth another go. Thanks for reminding me.
Nice! MRB is definitely worth a replay! I actually replayed it recently and beat it this time. Younger me was trying to play it on hard mode like a psychopath… Lol
Thanks for offering! Let’s see what you come up with!
I really enjoyed Hyper Light Drifter but not sure I would be into hardcore soulslikes. I do like roguelites though, I liked playing Wall word. Spelunky was also good.
— I got Trinity Fusion! Looks like something for me for sure! Thanks again!
Woah, that is very different from all other giveaway approaches.
I’d like something to play with my 8 year old. We’ve had a lot of fun playing the Untitled Goose game, Pizza Possum, Moving out and Overcooked (the second one, the first was too difficult).
No worries if nothing fits the bill! Thanks!
Edit: thanks! Got Yellow Taxi goes Vroom. Not sure my kid will enjoy it but I play games for myself too, so I’ll definitelt check this one out. Looks bizarre!
If you like arcade twin-stick shoot-em-ups, Sektori is one of the best the genre has seen. Hard though: if one doesn’t know the genre, play Waves and Assault Android Cactus first.
