Dwarf Fortress almost made me fail a few courses in undergrad.
That is a game that redefines the concept of fun.
If you don't gotta consult the reference books regularly, are you even enjoying yourself?
I bought a second monitor just to have the wiki open at all times.
It is amazing that in zero words that comic encapsulates nearly everything about Dwarf Fortress.
This is the only game that made me regret wasting time eating IRL because I needed both hands for designating jobs.
What I came to say. Thought for sure this post was going to to be a reference itself.
If that comic defines what dwarf games and dwarf fortress plays like, then am I a dwarf for exclusively playing indie roguelikes and roguelites?
Zany uberviolent team shooters about bugs sounds a whole lot like Deep Rock Galactic.
I'm tempted to put Eve Online into the "Elf Video Game" category, because the UI could, to quote Yahtzee, "only be more unintuitive if it was at the bottom of a fucking well." It doesn't really meet the other categories there. It kinda hits "Halfling Video Games," with the sheer politics involved in that game.
Factorio is solidly a "Dwarven Video Game."
The Eve Online UI is perfectly intuitive. There is simply no other way of providing the level of information needed in a different format than lots of tables.
only thing missing is an SQL prompt.
We found the elf.
Tabaxi video games: Open world survival crafting rpg with a million different game mechanics. Bugs out the ass because the developers kept getting distracted by a piece of string or some other random bullshit. Ends on a cliffhanger because they ran out of time to finish the story. Robust modding community by necessity.
The factory must grow
The city must survive
The magma must flow (downstairs through the entirety of the fortress)
Dragon games are oldschool play-by-mail grand strategy that no one alive has actually claimed to play but the crustiest of oldbeards recall their uncle playing at some point.
...you really gonna throw out a teaser like that without giving us a list of corresponding games??
You got counter strike source
I can't tell if counter strike would be a human or hobgoblin video game.
Not too familiar with jrpgs, my best suggestion is that you'd probably have to combine Tactics Ogre (for the hour long fights) with something else
Basebuilding strategy fps with tensile strength of..
minus the FPS, this is just dwarf fortress
dwarven rhythm games have supply line minigames
I'm pretty sure this is a reference to a specific game but can't remember much about it
Mortals cannot comprehend dwarven grand strategy games
definitely the campaign for north africa (or any other game by Simulations Publications)
halfling games: I've got nothing
goblin games: the gacha screams "any online card game", and the moba should be easy to find too. Left as an exercise to the reader.
orc game: I'm thinking this is about 10% of the games on newgrounds. You'll find these amongst general flash game collections for sure
Kenku video games: Palworld.
Missing dwarf pve shooter. We fight for rock and stone!
ROCK
AND
STONE
We’re rich!
Many play Minecraft in dwarf mode
I'm very into base building games in general.
I think it started with Command and Conquer, and blossomed from there.
I'm currently playing valheim and having no fucking clue what I'm doing, but I'm enjoying myself.
My colonists on mars, Rim world, settlers in fo4, and the DRG dwarves will have to wait.
And I want to try out Ixion? but my laptop sucks so I'll have to wait until I get a desktop or something.
strike the earth motherfuckers, I just built a computer using nothing but water gates and Armok's love
I used to play many orc flash games in the past. I still do when I want to relieve the past.
Never thought I'd play side by side with an orc.
The music always slaps.
What sort of games would Kobolds make? Because I can definitely see them making From the Depths
ever hear of Bad Rats?
Untitled Goose Game
This
I think "Totally Accurate Battle Simulator"
Uber religious knockoffs of other popular games with a reverence for dragons and a prevailing theme of self-loathing
Nah, the Orc game would be cozy games because it's about taking a break from the usual fair for your society.
Korog be coming home from a day crushing human skulls to play a game about owning a small farm and suddenly having a box of corgi puppies left on your doorstep to take care of, sold with a weighted blanket to burrito yourself in while playing for the best immersed experience.
Says you. Tax Simulator, baybeeee!
I have been audited by the IRS
In browser flash games? How old is this meme?
For orcs, they never went away. Waagh.
Flashpoint is a thing, and orcs are usually regarded as not as technological as other races in fiction so it kinda tracks that they would still be playing flash games
Some of us never left the 80s
I would commit petty crimes to have a halfling video game
Never played it, but Strange Horticulture sounds like what you're looking for.
I feel like Pizza Possum would fit in with goblin games
Play a Dwarf civilization in Anbennar (EU4 mod). It's epic. Almost this epic: https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU
So concernedape is a halfling
Celestial video games: Beautifully polished, graphically perfect games that define visual benchmarks for years to come. No interesting content under the surface.
Devil video games: Competitive deck builders that are always receiving nerds and buffs that seem to only harm you, where everyone always seems a little better than you.
Demon video games: Horribly un-optimised sandbox creation games that people only use to cause massive destruction.
Fey video games: Absurd dating sims that exclusively feels like the creator simultaneously has never spoken to anyone romantically in their lives and also fucks.
Feels correct to suggest platformers as a human game. Human wowed by jumping between two platforms while the elves are like "you can do that on between trees in real life" dwarves "you ever jumped a fissure?"
Def a Halfling gamer
