tbh I might have liked it if I started playing it when I was like 10 and had near infinite tolerance for awful UIs and arcane rule sets but I tried it out for the first time a year ago and yeah this is basically what a game looks like when only programmers make it

Anonymous asked: Are you really ok with showing a piece of your soul to the Internet?

Here is a mystery.

As a living individual I appear to have self. You likely accept me on this basis; perceiving that my entity seems animated and self-evident. I suppose the essence of that ‘self’ you intuit would be called my soul.

This soul must be like the imprint of my personality, and after I die I suppose I can trust it to perpetuate my all-important person onto some new vessel—-whether a spirit body in Heaven or a crude form on Earth.

Except I don’t have a personality. Not really.

Inwardly I am anyone. That is why it is absurd to love or hate me for how I manifest. Only my circumstances in intermediate existence bind me. Were I born as anything else I would accord properly. As a dog I would pant and beg for treats. As a horse I’d hoof and grunt. As a woman…I’d well…who knows.

Everything I appear to be is only what I have adapted to be in this quasi-state. I was born into a costume I cannot remove, and so I’ve become the ultimate method actor.

A soul—-as a vessel for my personality—-cannot therefore be terribly critical. It becomes like a piggy bank for someone with no savings.

Try to describe me. It becomes a game ‘of this or that’—‘not this and not that’. By categories and defining details you can try to localize me within an enclosed identity—-a nice little fenced in yard for me to play.

However, anything you can call me I can contradict in time.

Suppose then you describe me by what is mundanely objective—-by species, race, gender. Can such generalities be sufficient to summarize my soul?

To use a game related analogy—my soul is like Kirby before he’s adopted a power. It can be anything. A soul is intangible to all qualities.

What possesses qualities also possesses opposites. Heat and cold, yin and yang, life and death. If the soul had attributes it could be extinguished—-but by definition we know the soul is immortal and incapable of being harmed.

The truth is that the soul in me may be the same soul that’s in you. I suspect this. My inkling is there is only one self, an infinity, and that we are expressions of it. Life after death means rejoining the source.

There is no way he did not send himself that anon.

Dwarf fortress really isn't as arcane as people make it out to be imo. The UI is a bitch at first but it really doesn't have some arcane ruleset.
