I’ve got 8000 hours in rimworld and 11000 in dwarf fortress, and a permanent stream at https://watch.unhelpful.observer/

i love both games to death. i keep both running on my idle machines, I’m breeding thrumbo great grandparents and i don’t use mods I LOVE rimworld and dwarf fortress, and i think that my Plato’s cave comparison holds up better than you think. it’s the use of layers of abstraction that allows rimworld to be more than dwarf fortress and to feel like a real game rather than just a simulation, and it’s the dedication to reality that allows dwarf fortress to go DEEP DEEP DEEP into specificity, get 30 years in on a second fortress and you have 100% chance encountered a crazy situation that nobody can replicate without cheating

it is almost an insult to call these video games, they are so much more important to me than just games, they are more like independent hobbies

my favorite thing about both games is endgame simulation content. when you’ve played 200 years and all that’s left are great-grandchildren/goblins/elves/archotech elites, and rimworld ideoligions allowing you to create entirely untouched sustainable communities that you can just run forever like an ant farm, to me, this is the definitive simulation experience!

please play dwarf fortress.

you can watch our stream at https://watch.unhelpful.observer/

get into dwarf fortress if you can stomach the learning curve. it’s like leaving Plato’s cave, rimworld is the shadows on a wall

hey I’m going to be real with you right now. If you take the time to watch this film you will be deeply rewarded. i literally can’t tell you why without fucking it up

isn’t one of you named UEFI?

hey maybe it’ll work. people can get used to anything in 100 days

what did you read to learn this? i wanna read it too

incredible. thank you, ikidd, i care about this a lot

kubernetes makes it easier again, but with more trials, i spent hours figuring out DNS

I’m team graphene despite having returned to the cathedral. they need thousands of dollars of our money to free up their time for the things they prioritize: this is very much a theo de raadt situation. the phone landscape is imperfect, we must take what we can get, whatever is maximum security and maintains the free software principles, projects like Android ports of self-hosted clients must continue to poison the Google narrative. it is the job of the less-skilled to serve as patron for the people who hold up the internet

your name is joseki, we should play go together, I’m not good enough to play in an Asian tournament or anything but i do like the game a lot

can you share your experience with Apertus? I’m interested in running this!

i vote America intelligence

the reality is that the working class can currently afford tape drives and might not be able to in 3 years

that’s a really rich life you’ve had to learn about so many kinds of people

as a manufacturing worker, this argument doesn’t work for us. every second of our day is already mapped out anyway, we’re struggling to keep the breaks we have

i wanna do this ;(

octopus fingerrrrrrrrrs

i don’t want to do a whataboutism, so I’ll let that go. but if you ever become curious about Chinese ethnic minorities they are my hyperfixation so DM me at that time
