    Dwarf Fortress is 20 years old and still only has half the planned features. Tarn will be working on it until he croaks. Bless that man.

      It’s kind of blown my mind to learn about the development of that game. UnReal World’s similar how it started development in like the 90’s and the guys still just keep working on it like a group hobby. Love that for them

      The amount of simulations is still looking for its match. Hell, it reminds me of the possible best simulation: Dwarfes are having a party. Someone spills their beer. A cat walks through the beer puddle. The cat cleans its paws. The cat becomes drunk from the beer on its paws.

      The graphic is rather old, even the steam version or with “Lazy Newb Pack”, but it is still !!FUN!!.
