Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Dwarf fortress is wild to read about. One of these days I'll be brave enough to try it.

Oh it's a forever free game, the Steam version comes with some exclusive cosmetic stuff. It's definitely the nicest way to play, but the free version still gets all the updates.

doesn't cost money, "Free" is probably not the right word, lol

[–] Raptorox@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What else would you call a game that doesn't cost money?

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

There is a cost, but it's not measured in currency.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, it is quite a time investment.

just like any other game???

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh. Oh no. No no no no no.
I know somebody who played for 48 hours straight, passed out on his way to the bathroom, and broke his shoulder.
It's not like any other game.

I've played Dwarf Fortress (since 0.31). I'm not in the least bit suprised. It is seriously addictive.

As for myself I've had way too many "I'll just...." then "oh damn it's 3am again".

You can download it off the Devs, and it'll be free, but the UI is about as opaque as a foot-thick wall of lead.

Alternatively, you can buy the Steam version, and that one is way more accessible.
