Dwarf Fortress now on Steam with a graphical overhaul

I don't want to give money to this fucker, would I be best to wait a month or so before torrenting or is the Steam version in solid condition as is?

Just make sure you torrent version 50.02 which fixed the menu crashes bug. More time, more fixes, but it’s in good shape.

I like DF mods

Normalfags can play the game without reading wiki articles for 2 hours beforehand?

In all seriousness, though, the quality of DF discussion and "community" is going to decline rapidly with this release. I guess that's just the nature of things unfortunately. Dorf's nature as a cool, niche, game has already been tainted by Toady's faggotry for years, since you can't talk about it without someone bringing up trannies. Everything that's cool and "nerdy" always turns into tranny shit eventually (see also Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead and other roguelikes). This is why it's just better to be a jock who plays FIFA and Madden.

I think I'm out of the loop. What do you mean DF and CDDA are "tranny shit"?

CDDA changed gender to allow the player to change it at any time. There's also this: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/51102
The DF tranny connections are clear if you read this thread's last few pages.

What do you mean DF

DF's dev apparently went to great lengths to implement both gays and trannies into his game.

so you can kill and torture them?

For now, but considering the whole mermaid business, maybe Toady will incorporate the Liberal Crime Squad into DF to put a stop to problematic players.

 

[LarryTyphoid]

Speaking of LCS, I think we can now put away the idea that it was a thoughtful satire of leftist ideology, considering Toady's recent practices.

Yeah, I was going to say something similar. I could totally see some kind of world war or holy war scenario to stop Dwarf Hitler from wiping out the troons.

Sadly, as a liberal, it was only a matter of time before Toady's autism was turned against him.

Say goodbye to simulationism, say hello to hours spent protecting imaginary characters from racism or whatever.

I expect something like a diversity score that you need to keep high or suffer crippling malluses, to motivate you to not just protect troons and fags, but go out of your way to obtain more of them

Sort of like an in-game ESG?

Klaus Schwab would be proud. Bonus points for eating zee bugs.

Depending on how that would be done, that could even lead to more realism. I mean, a mod just has to invert some numbers somewhere and done, your "diverse" society actually plays like one...

Well I've started playing this. Not gonna look up any wikis or guides and just discover stuff for myself.

That's how you have FUN
Remember to dig deep and greedily

 

[Joggerino]

Yes, I think starting on a map without soil and water might have been a mistake.

There's soil and water in the caverns. Don't worry about it. What's the worst that could be down there?

6 million useless Z levels to scroll through as if you're going through a stack of Epstein's flight list guests?

Lol if you don't roll all cavern layers into one for exxxtra FUN

First game everyone died of dehydration. Second game I got two huge cavern layers but I see nothing dangerous in them so far.

Personally I like the new visual bells and whistles and pretty tilesets and might actually play this now as long as I hear they didn't mess too much with what's under the hood of the original game. Will probably wait for an Adventure mode and a few more builds before getting it though.

It doesn't even include adventure mode??



Checked the Steam forum earlier btw. Seems proper combat logs aren't there either. This was probably the key feature for plebbiters to gush over the oh so zany events in their fortresses.

8 page thread on it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/975370/discussions/0/3709307511570233056/?ctp=8

But hey, at least you have trannies, right?

I don't even know what "adventure mode" is in this game (perhaps someone can explain it to me), and since I respond to big colorful buzz words and terms like "ADVENTURE MODE!!!" I decided that if I'm going to get this game, it damn well better have it plus no one wants to buy a game that's missing entire features available in all previous builds, even if those features are probably useless or likely will never be used.
