I've always enjoyed reading about people's dwarf fortress games, but I could never decide if I'd like it. If you're a fan, what kind of other games are like it? Is it mostly fun, or 90% frustrating with great fun moments? How long did it take to start to have fun if the learning curve is high? If anyone is in the mood to sing its praises, I would love to hear them. If no one does, that's cool, too! Just been thinking about playing it for years but never committing.
Rimworld is basically Dwarf Fortress (simplified).
Minecraft is similar in the way you get to build your world and are only limited by your imagination.
CK3 is similar in the way it tells a story that isn't predetermined but develops based on your choices, on chance, and the interactions between characters.
Setting up Arch Linux with a tiling window manager is similar in how you're completely lost in the beginning but if you read the documentation it's fun when it starts to behave the way you want to.
Oh my god, I wish someone told me this before I installed Hyprland.
I stayed up till 3am configuring it, just like when I started:
They turned Clippy into a game?
Search for universal paperclips , and then waste a day producing paperclips in an ugly website. Great fun.
