  • Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress

    Jump

  • The world building element in DF is so cool. Like the world is generated and aged and has history. Rimworld's planet feels flat in comparison.

    Jump

  • Huh, I didn't know that history. But that makes some more sense. It's always difficult going "backwards" in a game. Like if you play the latest in a series, the first is more "meh". Respect where due - I appreciate that DF paved the way.

  • DF definitely didn't feel as intuitive. A game like that needs a Weenie Hut Jr tutorial to introduce you since a lot of the mechanisms don't make overt connections (to me at least). I remember some elves came to trade and I offered them a bunch of stuff but they got pissed off and rejected it. Some googling later let me figure out they don't like wooden things :[ but I didn't know that going in and it would have helped to know

  • Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress

    Jump

  • I hear that. I did try to pregame and watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials before jumping into DF. Still had to Google a bunch of stuff. I remember feeling frustrated trying to make soap (even with a flow chart). Like I made the workstation for it but no soap came. Then I learned I needed lye but didn't know how to make it. Learned it came from the butcher but didn't know how to hunt @_@ a lot of those stacked and I eventually gave up.

    I only recently got Ideology for Rimworld and am exploring that now :) lots more in the other DLCs to play through too

  • I may be looking at it from owly playing on the Steam Deck too, like never having a keyboard and mouse made a lot of it difficult and gave me a sore thumb lol.

    I wanted to play vanilla to understand the mechanics before modding, so I could appreciate the quality-of-life improvements. I definitely have a bunch I play with in Rimworld.

  • Very good points. My colonies haven't gotten quite as big as 50 - I think 14 was my max. I know about making zones and assigning people, but I haven't had a colony that warrants that kind of macro.

    I feel more of a personal connection to my pawns in Rimworld. Like I want my shooter to have a good quality gun and armor, or my guy that likes melee to have good armor. DF was like "build gauntlets" and then "assign pawns to be in a garrison", but I didn't really know specific pawns. Too many to manage individually. That was my comparison with Sims vs Sim City (I hear you on the scale though)

  • The end of an era?

    Jump

  • Oh I'm sure it'd be quite hard. But that's a future engineer's problem lol

  • The end of an era?

    Jump

  • This is the first step to having magnetic wheels become a thing. We know canonically Jim Kirk's motorcycle uses these, so it's definitely mainstream by ~2250.

    Honorable mention: the Bell Riots happen September this year, and it seems we're on track for those too

  • I refuse to believe that they made that abomination of a sequel

  • To merge with another fandom, there is no Megamind sequel in Ba Sing Se 💡

  • It was over 410:1 when I started a job in 2012. My company may have been an outlier :/ I hope it improves

  • My favorite part about the aftermath of this is that Convicted Felon Trump won't be able to vote for himself in the election 🥰

    What could have been...

    Jump

  • He did win against her. Until the Superdeligates swung the election in favor of where their money and the DNC wanted. I completely hold the DNC torpedoing themselves as the reason for Trump in '16.

  • Two Joy-Con drift lawsuits have been dismissed after five years

    Jump

  • You're totally right. For some reason I (mis)remembered it only being in the EU while the US was excluded. I found the form on Nintendo's website and will look into that later.

  • For real :[ unfortunate circumstances and a very unfortunate outcome. For all the memes and lols this created, I hope he's doing well

  • Remembering the legend

    Jump

  • That's fair. It's the double-edged sword of internet stardom. To me it's about remembering a simpler time then the world was less of a mess than it is today.

  • I post a reminder in a group chat with my friends every year. Someone today asked how the hell I remember it and I told them it's in my calendar
