!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I only have the new one, that was made for VR. It can be played in flat space, but you can tell they did very little to make it work. The text is so small on a regular screen I can't read a god damn thing.
I never played the original, but I suspect it's probably better in every way except for the visuals (other than having readable text I mean).
Dwarf Fortress is my favorite game of all time now, though. It's not old, but it just uses ASCII or tilesets. And I've been playing since version 3, using the default ASCII because I think it looks more interesting than the tiles.
