  • Appreciate that dwarf fortress is an 18 year old game. They first released it in 2006 and even then the interface was clunky and never a priority. It is a dwarf simulation engine first and an interactive game second.

    RimWorld owes its existence to Dwarf Fortress the way Halo owes its existence to Doom, or World of Warcraft owes its existence to RuneScape. Dwarf Fortress is the precursor for all games like RimWorld. So comparing their interfaces will always set Dwarf Fortress up to lose, just like if you compared the controls in Halo against the original Doom. I think you have to approach Dwarf Fortress more like playing a piece of gaming history, and a look into the world of a very interesting human, Tarn Adams, rather than a modern game competing against modern titles.


  • A car with the ability to lock down the interface for children/elderly probably does not exist.

    I would check out the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet bolt if those are available.

    Dealers are always going to try to talk you out of buying an EV from them. They make their money doing maintenance and oil changes on cars they sell, EVs have no maintenance, so they see them as bad for business. You have to pick out the exact car you want on their lot, write down the VIN number, then go in and tell them that is the car you want to buy. If they try to switch you up just start walking out. Be firm.
