At least he’s pretty based for someone in the niche of nerdy ass games. He said BLM during the 2020 protests and during the Palestinian protests in ‘21 he said Free Palestine, that US was backing an apartheid, and gave a bunch of resources to donate to Palestinians. Good guy and you should purchase his game because it’s pretty cool.

I also want to note that while dwarf fortress is extremely violent and callous at times (with a lot of horrific things that emerged out of quirks of the code, like dwarves carrying their babies into battle and cats.) It lacks a lot of the particular gross edginess of rimworld with slavery and cannibalism etc. You’ll still end up using floodgates to clean the killing floor of goblin gibbets and dwarves will go berserk and slaughter everyone or something will get in and massacre the whole fortress until there’s a lone child wandering aimlessly over the corpses of their parents, but the community has had less of the crowd that gets off on building a torture palace.

You’re underestimating how large the 4chan and something awful contingents of the fanbase were/are, and its overlap with other inaccessibly archaic games like HellMOO.

I have basically zero firsthand knowledge of the game but aren’t the elves cannibals?

Elves have kind of an orange and blue morality, AFAIK. They’ll declare war on you if you try to sell them something made of wood.

that rang a bell, so I looked it up. Elves are apparently vegetarian with the exception that they sometimes devour foes they defeat in combat.
