Deadly Premonition. It has a cast of very charming and surprisingly well written characters alongside a fascinating mindfuck of a story that is very much unlike anything else I've ever experienced. Heavily inspired by David Lynch's Twin Peaks and the closest I've seen another piece of media come to recapturing its dreamy, surreal vibes. Has a cult following despite being an absolutely shit game by all reasonable metrics. The combat is atrocious, it's unfathomably buggy, you're forced to drive between locations in a janky ass car, and the driving is like pulling teeth. It's really quite an unpleasant game to play for many reasons, and that's if you even get the game to run; the PC port is basically unplayable and requires a fuckton of fiddling on newer systems. Despite all that, it's an experience I remember very fondly. Just don't know if I'll be booting it up for another run in the next decade.

Oooooh fuck yeah, I'm gonna have pleasant dreams tonight (✿◕‿◕)

As others here have suggested, if you go with the Steam edition you'll get a pretty new UI with mouse support and official tileset pre-installed among a variety of other QoL improvements (and some regressions that are being worked out, but nothing that will affect you having a good time.)

If you don't go with the Steam edition, I'd highly recommend getting started with the as it provides a nice launcher that allows you to change some internal settings and select from a handful of tilesets

First of all, Flinch already linked it, but I'll doubly recommend having the wiki open while you play. It's an invaluable resource, and anything you don't understand will be explained in detail there.

For your first fortress, I would personally try to settle somewhere without aquifers (although light aquifers are newer and pretty manageable), or you may get frustrated trying to deal with them while learning.

When you get settled in, have some workshops, bedrooms, etc., try checking out the basics of the nobles system, particularly managers and bookkeepers, early on. Having a manager will allow you to set up automatic tasks that are refreshed on certain conditions (i.e., Build 10 more beds IF number of beds in storage is less than 2.) Learning this early on will save you a lot of time and annoyance resubmitting tasks one-by-one for jobs that you would much rather have automated.

I could ramble about DF and little tips for hours, but honestly blind is the best thing to be when starting. Just be patient, use the wiki, and have fun!

Yeah, Amogus is essentially an ultra-simplified version of Space Station 13, and Barotrauma could be argued to be the same. Tasks in Among Us are really simple, but jobs in Space Station 13 tend to be complex, open-ended, roleplay heavy, or all of the above. You can spend hundreds of hours in SS13 mastering a single job, and that mechanical depth combined with the sheer chaos that can break out at any moment is why people play SS13

I would give it a go! I haven't played SS13 in quite a while, but that sounds like a fun idea.

Yeah, the average individual denouncing the actions of Hamas are reacting to headlines that describe them as terrorists and child murderers.

"They have a right to freedom, but they shouldn't be killing innocent people"

If MSM rightfully framed it as a rebellion against an ongoing effort to colonize and ethnically cleanse Palestine, then I highly doubt you'd hear quite this many people spouting totally uninformed drivel in support of Israel.

I experience this, too! Often I'll hear classical music out of thin air if I'm really fucking high, and I don't even listen to classical. It's extremely interesting whenever it happens

Lossy means that data is lost on encoding, so the original quality of the recording will be compromised in some fashion.

FLAC is superior to WAV because it's still lossless but compressed so the files take up less space.

A lot of really good advice. Thank you immensely for this post! 🖤

I'm not sure how they're going to eliminate the boom bust cycle when it's an inherent part of a capitalist economy. Turns out business owners don't like giving up their ability to squeeze the life from their employees and pay them the smallest amount possible when the only goal is profit and growth.
