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?

Zany uberviolent team shooters about bugs sounds a whole lot like Deep Rock Galactic.

Or its weirder, older cousin, Earth Defense Force

I interpreted 'bugs' as 'glitches' rather than creepy crawlies.

There's also the newish Starship Troopers: Extermination

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."

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TheGreatFox@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, even the modding community declared that a lost cause.

Skyrim.

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.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The music always slaps.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

strike the earth motherfuckers, I just built a computer using nothing but water gates and Armok's love

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

I like team-building isometric RPGs with turn-based combat (I miss you so much Fallout 1 and 2!)

What does that make me?

Infinite play games that focus on collecting random shit for the highest score without any discernable benefit from doing so 'cept "bigger number heheh..."

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.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Rimworld

Against the Storm

Timberborn

Valheim like you said

Satisfactory

[–] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Tried timberborn and against the storm, they're good but not for me.

Satisfactory is a good one but my laptop overheats even when I have it on a fan so I gave up on it.

In browser flash games? How old is this meme?

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For orcs, they never went away. Waagh.

[–] DudeDudenson@lemmings.world 10 points 2 years ago

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

Play a Dwarf civilization in Anbennar (EU4 mod). It's epic. Almost this epic: https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU
