I tried to explain Dwarf Fortress to my friends, they didn't understand, so I printed a picture of my fort, and they said to quote, "Ew, what the fuck is that shit?!  Why don't you buy Black Ops and play a decent game?"  I printed a screen shot of some combat records of a war tiger ripping an elf's throat out, they now won't stop talking about it.
Ah, excuse me there then.
I wasn't paying much attention.

I've had the same hurdle when showing younger people Darwinia.
I remember playing Darwinia. That game was amazing.

But it looks awful.  ::)
That comment hurt me deep inside.
I thought the retro graphics were amazing, considering where the game was based.

I did use an 'eye roll' emote. Did you see it?

I personally love Darwinia and how it looks. I also like DF with tilesets as I did not grow up with ASCII games. I grew up with stuff from Spiderweb Soft. and Bullfrog.
