Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Yeah, but I'm willing to bet that there are more RimWorld players than Dwarf Fortress players.

Given that DF is free and has been around for nearly 20 years, I doubt that.

The free version is graphically prehistoric. Steam game is good

Yeah, the text-based style of DF makes it inaccessible for 99% of the potential players.
