Dwarf Fortress.

we all love this game because it is very, very cruel to us and we mistake that for positive attention.

for obvious reasons.
it's because this game will ruin your fucking life

    Seriously though, this game is so good. I never figured out the new military system though.

    Dwarf Fortress provides some of the best stories. Does anyone have that giant comic strip someone did about their game, involving a dragon destroying the town?

    I'M SO AWESOME I NEVER UNINSTALLED THE GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE.

    I'm currently building a fortress around a (mostly) flat magma pipe.

    Also I modded my world_gen to only have one cavern layer, which makes the game even more FUN.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    That's Stonesense. Not a texture pack, just a visualizer. Apparently it isn't updated to work with 31.18 right now.

    First of all, OP is lacking by not mentioning StoneSense

    Second of all, I wanted to play DF for a good long while now, but it's still lacking some major features I find elementary. I'll hold off until they started implementing the proper model for the economy.

    Holy crap, I JUST NOW fired up my fort and got a bunch of buzzards stealing my shit. So I stationed my axedwarf near the food stockpiles and he promptly jumps after a buzzard, right into the magma pipe. D:

    Nope.

    But I have to admit the mental image of that guy jumping after a goddamn bird and dropping to his death, Wile E. Coyote style, is pretty funny.

    adventure mode is fun because you can get attacked by packs of wolves, choke one to death, and then use the dead wolf to kill the other wolves
