Tabaxi video games: Open world survival crafting rpg with a million different game mechanics. Bugs out the ass because the developers kept getting distracted by a piece of string or some other random bullshit. Ends on a cliffhanger because they ran out of time to finish the story. Robust modding community by necessity.
So. Starfield then
Nah, even the modding community declared that a lost cause.
Skyrim.
No matter how tangled the mess, it’s still a call of yarn, after all. 🤩
edit: I’m leaving it as is.
Palworld then
The factory must grow
The city must survive
The magma must flow (downstairs through the entirety of the fortress)
I like team-building isometric RPGs with turn-based combat (I miss you so much Fallout 1 and 2!)
What does that make me?
Old!
I already knew that!
Hahahahaha I’m right there with ya pal 😅
What sort of games would Kobolds make? Because I can definitely see them making From the Depths
ever hear of Bad Rats?
Kobold Space Program
You know, a character swap and making everything look rusty and recycled and I think you got yourself a grand mod there.
That could also double as Orky Speish Program. Just paint the rocket red and it’ll go faster.
The safety program makes sense if it was designed by a kobold…
Uber religious knockoffs of other popular games with a reverence for dragons and a prevailing theme of self-loathing
Untitled Goose Game
Infinite play games that focus on collecting random shit for the highest score without any discernable benefit from doing so 'cept “bigger number heheh…”
Something like Cookie Clicker?
Too polished, Cookie Clicker’s a gnome game.
A kobold-made cookie clicker would only have 3 tiers of buildings and it wouldn’t be a cookie. Probably some kind of tasty beetle I dunno I don’t live in a mudhole.
Presentable Money
Sounds like “Achievement Unlocked” would be something they’d make
I think “Totally Accurate Battle Simulator”
I used to play many orc flash games in the past. I still do when I want to relieve the past.
Never thought I’d play side by side with an orc.
The music always slaps.
Dragon games are oldschool play-by-mail grand strategy that no one alive has actually claimed to play but the crustiest of oldbeards recall their uncle playing at some point.
ROCK AND STONE, MOTHERFUCKERS!
WHEN YOU ROCK AND STONE, YOU’RE NEVER ALONE!
IF YOU DON’T ROCK AND STONE, YOU AIN’T GOIN’ HOME!
Did i hear a Rock and Stone?
I feel like Pizza Possum would fit in with goblin games
Kenku video games: Palworld.
I’m tempted to put Eve Online into the “Elf Video Game” category, because the UI could, to quote Yahtzee, “only be more unintuitive if it was at the bottom of a fucking well.” It doesn’t really meet the other categories there. It kinda hits “Halfling Video Games,” with the sheer politics involved in that game.
Factorio is solidly a “Dwarven Video Game.”
The Eve Online UI is perfectly intuitive. There is simply no other way of providing the level of information needed in a different format than lots of tables.
only thing missing is an SQL prompt.
We found the elf.
Eve is 100% halfling game.
I suppose you have an HOA if you’re in a renter corp, but seriously just join a good alliance.
Nah, the Orc game would be cozy games because it’s about taking a break from the usual fair for your society.
Korog be coming home from a day crushing human skulls to play a game about owning a small farm and suddenly having a box of corgi puppies left on your doorstep to take care of, sold with a weighted blanket to burrito yourself in while playing for the best immersed experience.
Says you. Tax Simulator, baybeeee!
I have been audited by the IRS
Play a Dwarf civilization in Anbennar (EU4 mod). It’s epic. Almost this epic: https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU
So concernedape is a halfling
Celestial video games: Beautifully polished, graphically perfect games that define visual benchmarks for years to come. No interesting content under the surface.
Devil video games: Competitive deck builders that are always receiving nerds and buffs that seem to only harm you, where everyone always seems a little better than you.
Demon video games: Horribly un-optimised sandbox creation games that people only use to cause massive destruction.
Fey video games: Absurd dating sims that exclusively feels like the creator simultaneously has never spoken to anyone romantically in their lives and also fucks.
Dwarf Fortress almost made me fail a few courses in undergrad.
That is a game that redefines the concept of fun.
It is amazing that in zero words that comic encapsulates nearly everything about Dwarf Fortress.
This is the only game that made me regret wasting time eating IRL because I needed both hands for designating jobs.
What I came to say. Thought for sure this post was going to to be a reference itself.
If you don’t gotta consult the reference books regularly, are you even enjoying yourself?
I bought a second monitor just to have the wiki open at all times.
An epic fight with trogdor.
Then, as an adventurer, you beat Trogdor by throwing handfuls of water at it
I have legit weaponized kittens as projectile anti-siege bioweapons using drawbridges as catapults.
