     @zero that and i think you just had to be there when it was first getting popular when it wasn't finished yet and was easier to jump into

     @earthling @zero it's like how you gotta be in on a multiplayer game from day 1 or you'll always be shit at it because everyone around you has a head start except the only other player is an infinitely autistic developer

     @RustyCrab @earthling @zero it was way more fun during the 0.34 and early df2014 eras, later versions require too much micro management

     @RustyCrab @earthling @zero honestly they he added buffers for moods, the game became boring. before that, all effects were instant, e.g. if someone killed a dwarf's cat he could go berserk and kill everyone around him and then himself. with the new system he would get a delayed debuff and go drink or yell at someone

     @Inginsub @RustyCrab @earthling @zero That's roughly when I last played, I can't imagine a version with MORE micromanaging.

     @wertimer @RustyCrab @earthling @zero the first time i played it properly, without intentionally drowning the colony with magma or caving in the meeting hall, i didn’t know at all about clothes and my dwarves were practically naked for 30 years, wearing rags and whatever they scavenged from dead migrants
