The Steam version is really quite approachable (by Dwarf Fortress standards) and the wiki has a very thorough and easy to follow guide for new players. And the slightly less fancy version is free on their website. So if you’ve got any interest, I’d always recommend starting up a fortress and playing around until you feel like you could join in!


Fuck, that’s a hard choice. I’m either sitting with moth gang or spider gang, but the bees are a great choice too.
I’d love to try again! I remember on the first run I missed one of the posts when it was my turn and played through a year someone else had already done, which was very embarrassing. Hopefully better organization can help prevent dumbasses like me from making such mistakes!
I’ll take the 26th if @gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net doesn’t end up wanting it. Otherwise I can do the week after.
Also I can be the farmer. I’m a big mushroom head 
I think the human body is the way it is for a reason. It’s good at a lot of different tasks, so if you want to make a robot that can be used for a lot of different tasks (especially in a world where a lot of shit is designed around the human body) an anthropomorphic robot seems like a good idea. Like sure, a billion different hyper-specialized robot designs would be better, but are they enough better to justify the extra design time over just using the human shape we already know works?
Hey! Stop right there!
lmao no


Guess we’re woke and gay in Hyrule and Black Mesa
I mean kinda, yeah. Alyx is a POC woman who holds her own in Half-Life, Zelda is one of the three most powerful people in the setting and there’s no shortage of other powerful women around, including an entire species of dark-skinned warrior women.
(Not that the Gerudo are an especially good/sensitive portrayal of POC but even ignorant racism is woke to chuds these days, you have to be a full on nazi to satisfy them now)


nobody is going to make all that only to have a vanishing percent of players see it through
Not nobody. Fallout: New Vegas has all kinds of tiny details that most players will never see, and that’s a whole ass open world game made in less than 2 years. It’s entirely doable, either with insane crunch like game dev studios usually do, or by taking some extra time.


There’s no need to sling accusations at me just because I’m criticizing something you feel protective of.
Wtf are you even talking about? I’m accusing you of being intentionally obtuse because I had to ask you three times to define a term. I don’t feel “protective” of the fucking multi-billion dollar corporation. I’m trying to have a simple discussion and you’re constantly being hostile and unresponsive.


Why do you still refuse to define rent? How can you justify calling the conversation “frustrating” when you’re the one being intentionally obtuse?
I initially thought this said they want to pay me to use their AI browser, to which I still said “no”
