I’m migrating here from Reddit, and one of my favorites subs was always /r/DwarfFortress. Since that doesn’t exist here yet, I’m going ahead and creating it! We’ll kick off with a classic question: How long have you been playing Dwarf Fortress for? I started back in 2008, and I always come back to this wonderful game! It’s been a heck of a ride watching the progress of this amazing game. It’s always felt like the game I always wanted to play. How about you?
I played for the first time in 2008 as well! Played hard for the next 4 years of undergrad then laid it down for grad school, got back in for a couple of years in 2016-2017, then life got busy. I haven’t bought the steam version yet, but when I saw it coming out last year it looking like the dwarf fortress i always wanted! Can’t wait to start playing again!!!
I started playing around 2006. I dropped off sometime in 40d and came back to buy the steam release. I can’t recommend it enough.
