The world building element in DF is so cool. Like the world is generated and aged and has history. Rimworld’s planet feels flat in comparison.

Huh, I didn’t know that history. But that makes some more sense. It’s always difficult going “backwards” in a game. Like if you play the latest in a series, the first is more “meh”. Respect where due - I appreciate that DF paved the way.
DF definitely didn’t feel as intuitive. A game like that needs a Weenie Hut Jr tutorial to introduce you since a lot of the mechanisms don’t make overt connections (to me at least). I remember some elves came to trade and I offered them a bunch of stuff but they got pissed off and rejected it. Some googling later let me figure out they don’t like wooden things :[ but I didn’t know that going in and it would have helped to know
I hear that. I did try to pregame and watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials before jumping into DF. Still had to Google a bunch of stuff. I remember feeling frustrated trying to make soap (even with a flow chart). Like I made the workstation for it but no soap came. Then I learned I needed lye but didn’t know how to make it. Learned it came from the butcher but didn’t know how to hunt @_@ a lot of those stacked and I eventually gave up.
I only recently got Ideology for Rimworld and am exploring that now :) lots more in the other DLCs to play through too
I may be looking at it from owly playing on the Steam Deck too, like never having a keyboard and mouse made a lot of it difficult and gave me a sore thumb lol.
I wanted to play vanilla to understand the mechanics before modding, so I could appreciate the quality-of-life improvements. I definitely have a bunch I play with in Rimworld.
Very good points. My colonies haven’t gotten quite as big as 50 - I think 14 was my max. I know about making zones and assigning people, but I haven’t had a colony that warrants that kind of macro.
I feel more of a personal connection to my pawns in Rimworld. Like I want my shooter to have a good quality gun and armor, or my guy that likes melee to have good armor. DF was like “build gauntlets” and then “assign pawns to be in a garrison”, but I didn’t really know specific pawns. Too many to manage individually. That was my comparison with Sims vs Sim City (I hear you on the scale though)
Oh I’m sure it’d be quite hard. But that’s a future engineer’s problem lol
This is the first step to having magnetic wheels become a thing. We know canonically Jim Kirk’s motorcycle uses these, so it’s definitely mainstream by ~2250.
Honorable mention: the Bell Riots happen September this year, and it seems we’re on track for those too
To merge with another fandom, there is no Megamind sequel in Ba Sing Se 💡
It was over 410:1 when I started a job in 2012. My company may have been an outlier :/ I hope it improves
FML you’re right :( just saw this pop up in a news feed. Party of law and order at work
My favorite part about the aftermath of this is that Convicted Felon Trump won’t be able to vote for himself in the election 🥰
You’re totally right. For some reason I (mis)remembered it only being in the EU while the US was excluded. I found the form on Nintendo’s website and will look into that later.
That’s fair. It’s the double-edged sword of internet stardom. To me it’s about remembering a simpler time then the world was less of a mess than it is today.
I post a reminder in a group chat with my friends every year. Someone today asked how the hell I remember it and I told them it’s in my calendar
The real Phantom Menace
Unfortunately, that’s not available in the US :(
If you toggle the “Automatic travel supplies” box at the top, will it grab a different set of items?
Nothing stood out to me that wasn’t asked in other questions in the thread, but it’d be worth seeing what the game would choose for food items.
It sure would be a shame if you bought new, identical Joy-Con controllers, found they didn’t have drift, and returned the old drifty ones by accident.
5/28 Ninja Edit: today I learned is a form on Nintendo’s website where you can fill out a repair request form. I thought the US had been excluded https://repair.nintendo.com/cc/soConsumer.html?lang=en&sys=SWTCH&type=JOY-CON
Oh DF is definitely a deeper world. There are a lot more knobs to turn (obvious or not). I’ve seen some really cool colonies and worlds. I’m just not very apt at building them myself.
Another comment made a good point that DF did come before, with Rimworld building on what DF made. It’s difficult (for me at least) to go backwards. Like I really enjoyed Baulder’s Gate 3 and tried the original but couldn’t get into it :/
