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?

An epic fight with trogdor.
Then, as an adventurer, you beat Trogdor by throwing handfuls of water at it

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?
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.”
Eve is 100% halfling game.
I suppose you have an HOA if you’re in a renter corp, but seriously just join a good alliance.
Turtles all the way down.
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.
So. Starfield then
Nah, even the modding community declared that a lost cause.
Skyrim.
No matter how tangled the mess, it’s still a call of yarn, after all. 🤩
edit: I’m leaving it as is.
Palworld then
Kenku video games: Palworld.

…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
ROCK AND STONE, MOTHERFUCKERS!

IF YOU DON’T ROCK AND STONE, YOU AIN’T GOIN’ HOME!
Did i hear a Rock and Stone?
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.
Missing dwarf pve shooter. We fight for rock and stone!
ROCK
AND
STONE
Many play Minecraft in dwarf mode
I like team-building isometric RPGs with turn-based combat (I miss you so much Fallout 1 and 2!)
What does that make me?
Old!
I already knew that!
Hahahahaha I’m right there with ya pal 😅
What sort of games would Kobolds make? Because I can definitely see them making From the Depths
Kobold Space Program
deleted by creator
That could also double as Orky Speish Program. Just paint the rocket red and it’ll go faster.
The safety program makes sense if it was designed by a kobold…
Infinite play games that focus on collecting random shit for the highest score without any discernable benefit from doing so 'cept “bigger number heheh…”
Something like Cookie Clicker?
deleted by creator
Presentable Money
Sounds like “Achievement Unlocked” would be something they’d make
ever hear of Bad Rats?
Uber religious knockoffs of other popular games with a reverence for dragons and a prevailing theme of self-loathing
I think “Totally Accurate Battle Simulator”
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
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.
Rimworld
Against the Storm
Timberborn
Valheim like you said
Satisfactory
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.
Satisfactory performance seems to have got much worse in update 8
And to think it got several performance updates back when Josh was making all kinds zany shit, like the conveyor belt-nado, right beside the conveyor mesh (look up Let’s Game it Out on YT, even if you don’t care about the game, it’s fucking worth it)
I remember the Beltnado!
What ultimately made me try the game was the tube launcher thing you can put in a circle, surrounding it with other tubes, to speed yourself up to some insane amount and at the last layer it straightens and points upward to launch you some crazy distance across the world.
Maybe someday I can make a nice laid out base, but I’m a big fan of spaghetti.
In browser flash games? How old is this meme?
For orcs, they never went away. Waagh.
Some of us never left the 80s
strike the earth motherfuckers, I just built a computer using nothing but water gates and Armok’s love
