Play dwarf fortress.

>>715060468 (OP)
Play Songs of Syx.

This game was lame as fuck and never goes on sale so, No.

I tried it once at full price, it's gay as fuck, so I refunded it.

Why play dwarf fortress in the age of chat gpt?
Chat gpt can give me 1000x more deep experience.
And I avoid the terrible UI, the shitty graphics and the chores (gameplay).

>>715061129
>at full price
people buy games at full price?

>>715061129
>You could have tried the game for free on the dudes website and simply installed the Lazy Newb Patch.
I don't know why you did that to yourself.

>>715060468 (OP)
hm, no I think I'll just start another RimWorld playthrough actually

>tranny sellouttress

troon chudress

>>715062697
If a game is not interesting within the first 30 minutes, then it's just shit. It's as simple as that.

>>715061129
Its free my guy

This is a game for white intellectuals. You cannot understand, unfortunately.

>>715067830
>intellectuals
that's a weird way of spelling "autistic people"

the last 2 times I played invasions were bugged and they only sent like 4 goblins to attack even when I had a big fort

>>715060468 (OP)
You need to make the OP image a dwarf with gigantic tits

I have a child dwarf who lost like 3 limbs in a forgotten beast attack. Now she just throws a tantrum whenever she tries and fails to pick something up, and she's killed fully armored guards in that state

>>715067924

How?

Unironically kino

>>715060468 (OP)
I still play version 0.47. Recently started a fortress on a Volcano with a river tile. Gonna make a Pure obsidian fortress. Hopefully my lack of experience in fluids doesn't flood my fortress with magma or water or both.

>>715067430
I'm doing both.
And I'll tell it about your transgression.

>>715060731
Im curious
Sell this game to me

Better than DF in every aspect, except it lacks a physics system, the only thing of value in Dwarf Fortress.

Sseeth has a video on it go watch it.

>>715074801
Dev fixed labs, takes clay now and you need a lot less. You are supposed to spread your food production between farms and cattle/hunting plus supplementing it with commerce, so a single draught doesn't sink your city.

>>715061921
Based.
And with another 100 mods too

>>715074881
>it's just better bro it just is
>watch this random youtube guy
You're doing a horrible job selling the game

>>715060468 (OP)
I did. I don't like "make your own fun" games. The game doesn't have a point or a purpose which makes it incredibly boring to me.

>>715074810
>Not so state of the art then is it?

>>715068527
Cant you graft him giant lobster pincers in this game?

Anybody ever just play with their starting 7 dwarves and turn off migrants? Is it fun or boring? I thinking of starting a fuck off we're full game because of frame rate issues.

>>715077228
Its a better city sim but not a better settlement sim. In dwarf fortress you control a single community of several dozen to at most 200 dwarves or a single character or party in adventure mode. Syx is about managing an entire city-state. Both have very good simulation systems but have different scales.

>>715060468 (OP)
I don't play pozzed games by cück devs

>>715074810
It's weird. I never saw that image until after I took a screenshot and posted it last year, but I looked it up and this has been posted for years already. Mandela effect

>>715060468 (OP)
i respect it a lot and im sure it would become one of my favorites but im too retarded to sit my ass down for a few hours and learn it

>>715060468 (OP)
I did, back when it was good.
Did he at least add keyboard controls back in?

>>715080758
Toad doesn't play the game so start clicking, loser.

>>715080994
Guess I'll wait another year then.

>>715079210
pls halp

>>715079210
just get the mod that lets you set population cap

>>715083240
The first migrant wave is hardcoded regardless of what you do. I think there was a third party hack in the old version of the game that let you play with 7 dwarves.

>>715060468 (OP)
Last time I downloaded the game there was no adventure mode, completely different interface and mouse controls for some reason so I got pissed off and uninstalled it.
Has this been fixed yet?

>>715079878
thanks for the heads up. shan't be playing their game now

>>715064142
Kek!

>>715074613
It's an Impressions-meets-Sim City type of thing. It's quite fun, but e-celeb cancer has infected it. Luckily the dev is an autistic neanderthal and blocks out negative waves.

>>715060468 (OP)
I did, probably for over a thousand hours, a decade ago.
The game is less fun now than it was then. I respect what it's doing and think it's cool, but actually playing it sucks, and I play vidya to have fun.

>>715085247
No. Toady sold out, I think most of the devs are trannies now.

Steam release was literally the best thing that happened to this game in its entire history, because apparently they've brought in a programmer who unfucked much of whatever atrocity it has for a code and added multithreading.
At least you can play this game now. before that it was a doomed project with no future, because Toady didn't give a slightest fuck about optimization and CPUs which were able to run it on passable framerate couldn't exist due to laws of physics.

>>715061129
>never goes on sale so, No.
>I tried it once at full price
Look at this. Retards like this are the people you're arguing against.

not yet

>>715087303
I refuse to play it until they unfuck Adventure Mode. You can't even complete quests in the current system. Fuck Rumors.

It perfectly lines up:
>/v/ has dropped in quality significantly in the last 10 years
>you can't have a dwarf fortress thread in 2025 without half of the replies being retarded

It's objectively true that DF is still free, has mods, goes on sale frequently, and yet you still have /v/ praising Rimworld ($100 game) and shitting on DF.
Every thread.
If you want to have Dwarf Fortress discussion, you need to find mentally sound individuals, so it is unironically better to go to Reddit or Steam Discussions. /v/ is full of retards now. Don't bother talking about DF on /v/. It's impossible since the bigot retard crew rolled in.

Modern /v/ doesn't know what irony is. Saying "nigger" was ironic 10 years ago, and don't let any of the bigots tell you differently. They are newfags, every one of them, and they ruined this board.

>>715087856
>so it is unironically better to go to Reddit or Steam Discussions
Okay, go ahead and fuck off there, faggot.

Or you could go to /vst/ where there's a thread of people who like the game talking about it at all times, you absolute mongoloid.

>>715087856
>embark with flux + iron

>>715087303
They hired one of the best modders.
I played a few hundred hours on the free version, and loved it. The Steam version is objectively better and still improving. I was not expecting a random ranged combat update. It's also crazy that every time there is an update, DFHack is ready to update less than 30 minutes later.
Lovely game that is lovingly supported.
I've tried so many colony sims, and I keep going back to DF. I even put 30 hours into the ugly piece of shit that is Rimworld.

>>715087479
Maybe you should try getting a job.

>>715088247
okay, where

>>715088247
why are you locked in the bathroom?

>>715087995
>/v/ is so shit you should go to a different board
Thanks for proving my point.

>>715060468 (OP)
it was fun years ago but then i just started doing the same fortress and all the same things every time and it lost its luster
also the epic random reddit flavor text lost its charm

>>715087303
Also, he is now exposing some code as Lua, which allows for better modding. You can actually do logic and stuff now, albeit for minor things like vampires and forgotten beasts.

>>715087856
You cant have a discussion about anything without half the replies being retarded. Bad faith arguing, pretending to be retarded and intentionally misunderstanding the argument are the main cornerstones of this board nowadays.

>>715088437
You're welcome. Thanks for suckling on my balls and licking my asshole.

>>715088184
>It's also crazy that every time there is an update, DFHack is ready to update less than 30 minutes later.
The new programmer is also one of the DFHack people, so I don't find this surprising at all.

I already do, but I'd rather not talk about it. /v/'s too far gone for this kinda discussion these days.

>>715088928
I didn't do either of those. You're just terrible at thinking.

>>715060731
Dog shit youtuber trash, promoted by a white guy who larps as a nigger. No thanks. How about KYS instead. Why are you EU faggots always such sub-humans.

>>715088601
>Bad faith arguing, pretending to be retarded and intentionally misunderstanding the argument are the main cornerstones of this board nowadays.
Being a 100% bigot is not "a cornerstone of this board".
>I was merely pretending to be retarded
has been the argument against trolling for over a decade.
Trolling is a art.
Saying "tranny" every single thread is not "a cornerstone of this board". It's just a way worse place now that we have so many faggot retards here.

>>715089186
>51 fps to 8 fps
even after all these years why does fucking fps death entropy still occur

>>715089252
Yes anon, you're a visionary for nooticing that /v/ is shit. Look at the gigabrain on this guy. Stunning and brave. Nobody has ever thought of going somewhere else to talk about video games before, and probably never would've without your wholly unique and quirky contribution to our humble community. My gratitude is immeasurable and my day is improved. Now please, show us the way to the land of milk, honey, and honest vidya discussion by being the first to head over to Reddit and then never return here. See you on the other side, my fuarking hero.

>>715089542
>Liquid calculation of that scale
>The whole E I G H T FPS
God level programming compared to how this game used to perform.

>>715089758
TL;DR

>>715089542
the residential area is 96 levels down and that filled everything along the way with 7/7 water

>>715060468 (OP)
I liked Dwarf Fortress
then a decade of bloat with no discernable gameplay improvements happened

>>715090087
>>715088437
be the change you want to see and learn not to reply or engage obvious bait if you want a good thread

bros, I don't know what to do with the end of this delta after I wall it off. any ideas?
