Unpopular opinion but graphics do matter a little bit or at least more than the meme depicts. Dwarf Fortress was unplayable before they added actual graphics to it. I wish things moved between tiles fluidly like in Rimworld instead of it being a slideshow, but I can actually stand to play Dwarf Fortress now. If the only video games that existed were text-based, I'd probably never play video games again. Ps2 era graphics on the other hand, hell yeah. 90s era dos graphics are passable too. But PLEASE no text adventure games.

Supremely unbased, I still just see elf, dwarf, plump helmet...

OBJECTION!!

The ASCII graphics have a charm of its own, even if it skews the horizontal-vertical distances due to characters being 8x12
