I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Yeah, I got it a while back, and figure I might as well play it since I have it.

I've been on a 2d kick lately. Factorio, Rimworld,Stardew, Mindistry, etc. I even replayed Bastion last year.

I love Rimworld, I’m thinking of trying out Dwarf Fortress but it looks so daunting.

And yeah man, after being obsessed with Hades I decided to check out all their games. Loved Bastion and am playing Pyre rn.

Dwarf fortress is very easy.

Dont overthink factorio. If you want to get a deal, buy an argentine cd key or something.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! Honestly Dwarf Fortress seemed pretty intimidating so I was thinking of passing on it, but I think I’ll go ahead and check it out. Someone saying it’s easy helps lol.

And yeah I probably should, maybe i’ll finally look into getting Factorio. It’s been on my wishlist for long enough.

The steam version of Dwarf Fortress is relatively accessible. You don’t need to interact with all of the systems right away.

Also Pyre is great. Very underrated.

Note that DF's Steam version lets you destroy stairs in a way that makes them impossible to rebuild, so be careful with stairs.

I haven’t run into that problem, but it sounds stairable. Would have me in hystairics.
