    The Kitfox decision was partially baised upon the fact that Tarn already knew Tanya and trusted that they would let him continue to cook the way he always did. Which they have.

    Bought the steam version only to help them, I cannot wait for the magic update, a thing that back in the day was considered just a &quot;long waited&quot; dream. They deserve all the love! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/losingisfun">#LosingIsFun</a>

    Dwarf Fortress ist still free. Just not the graphics. That means you can still play the most recent version in ASCII-Mode for free. Which i think is very very fair.

    I wish I was cool enough to have played the ASCII version, but around when I was setting it up with a tile set is when the steam version was announced so I just decided to wait. I&apos;ve bought the game 3 times already, for myself and others I just want everyone to know about it it&apos;s so good

    Having to go to the hospital being the biggest treat to your life is the most dystopian shit ever. As a Canadian I cannot understand how this is still a thing in the US.

    I started PC gaming with ASCII graphics: Rogue, Kingdom Of Kroz, ZZT, Megazeux. Gotta have a little imagination, like reading a good book without illustrations. I&apos;ve never heard of these games, and now I&apos;m really excited to study Dwarf Fortress!

YouTube, with the door locked.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
