This sounds like a lyric in the most epic metal song of all time.

That sounds like a pretty standard event from my memory of playing DF lol

Better than the one where werewolves dected hell below and thus climbed scared on trees?

I feel like that has vastly deeper meaning than it was ever intended to. A philosopher or sociologist could probably write their masterwork with that title someday.

Some bugs are so good, you leave them in.

I just love this game. I don’t have the time to play but I love reading the weird shit that happens in it.

I don't seem to hear as much anymore, but for a long time this was me with EVE Online.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I never really played that one or followed the stories on it, but I always thought it might be a good fit for me because I remember there were a lot of excited players when Excel integration was announced.

A user base excited about data and spreadsheets? Hell yeah.

I kept reading r/Eve for years after winning. Seemed to slow down after the casino war, then the Mittani left. Just today I see that Pandemic Horde is disbanding.

If you’re interested, No Clip, a YouTube channel, made a 4pt documentary about Dwarf Fortress. He’s not my favorite documentarian, but I still thought it was interesting.

I just wanted to post this, personally I really like NoClip and this is one of the most personal documentaries they've done, so far, I think. The Dwarf Fortress brothers seem really cool, so humble and unpretentious (and giant nerds, obviously 😸)

I enjoyed this, thank you.

Lyrics that would fit neatly into a thrash metal band song.
