Cute Quinn
It may be a surprise to hear that I was into dwarf fortress for a while
Cute Quinn
back in its early days
Cute Quinn
because, I had a simple concrete ggoal
Cute Quinn
Survive Winter
Cute Quinn
then after a few tries I achieved that
Cute Quinn
then the game went "now you can go do whatever you want!"
Cute Quinn
and I never played it again
BERSERKER
yeah it's.... kind of like the sims in that, I love that it exists and I love watching people have fun with it, but it's just too open for me
BERSERKER
it's a sandbox where you play until your sandcastle explodes
Cute Quinn
I don't do well with unguided sandboxes
Princess Emily
yeah it does sound like the kind of game you would not enjoy
BERSERKER
same
Cute Quinn
winter was a goal, which I could work towards
Cute Quinn
and I knew what I needed for it
Cute Quinn
and I prepared and achieved
Cute Quinn
but then I had no goal
BERSERKER
kind of like how I've played through stardew like five times but not a single one of my saves has gone past Spring Year 3
Princess Emily
and ud prolly hate adventure mode even more

Honestly just how much the game simulates is goddamned fascinating
Cute Quinn
it's absolutely fascinating and I respect it deeply
Cute Quinn
but it is not my thing
Dragons Dragons
same
Dragons Dragons
for the same reasons, but also cool

You can deeply admire a piece of art while at the same time be ENTIRELY uninterested in it

Oh yeah 100%

I was more just commenting on the game rather than saying anything about Quinn not playing it xD

Like I'm sure some folks get entertainment around generating a world and then just exploring the encyclopedia without ever actually playing in it.

Like the last update I remember when I was checking it out again a few years ago was it generating villains with actual like plots and goals they'd execute in complex manners.
