Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Stamets has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing. Find it, we will try

Oh biscuits
I'm a huge fan of Rimworld! Very excited to hear you're giving it a try. It really can become whatever you want. There is an abundance of Quality of Life mods too. I definitely have recommendations if you'd like.
Ugh, I try not to :[ honestly such an embarrassment for the whole country that the choices are between a senile old dude and a convicted felon dictator
I'm old enough to remember Trump gutting the EPA, approving oil drilling permits, and reducing national park land and that those are considered all negatives for the environment :/
I'm pretty stoked this came up in my feed today. I was actually one of the players in that campaign! We played in a small, virtual group during Covid. I sent this thread to Garlic~
The coffee shops weren't a big part of the campaign, but it was definitely a recurring theme. He did a great job world-building and there were backstory elements he added in for us. I did miss the Starbucks reference until it came up and I echo the collective groan we had. There were other puns and fun adventures we had in the campaign.
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 :/
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 had a friend who is gay and supported Mitt Romney back in the day. He campaigned against gays. Obama won and legalized same-sex marriage. She is now married to her wife. Reminds me of her
