  Big same. I’m closing in on 10k hours in Rimworld (been playing since 2016) and don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed.

    If you are having fun, I’m sure the Rimworld devs would be happy to know it.

    Meanwhile the C-shites are probably dying inside, knowing people like you exist. Fuck. Them.

      C-shites? Not sure who you’re referencing with that.

        My guess is it’s like a slur for “C-suites” aka the CEOs and CFOs and bean counters who want you to buy more games and only play them for a few days so you can spend money money on the next game.

        The devs are happy if you enjoy their game but the businesmen are unhappy that you aren’t spending more money.

        If I am correct on this crazy interpretation then I don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed.

    I really love city builders and settlement type games but I just cannot figure out how the fuck to play Rimworld. I’ve been through the tutorial like 5 times. I honestly don’t understand what I’m missing. Love the ANNO series, played games like Prison Architect, ‘Honey I started a cult’, etc. so it’s not like I’m unfamiliar. Idk. I feel like my brain is just broken with that game.

      Yeah, I’ve no idea how I figured it all out, but I remember a steep learning curve.

      The big thing for me is finding a rhythm in the gameplay loop and just sitting comfy in it. While I often describe the game as my “war crime simulator” and a “frantic rush from one dumpster fire to the next”, I still find my deepest chill just watching my pawns live their lives farming rice and ranching a herd of boomalope.

      Turn the difficulty down, the game is normally designed to be pretty brutal which might not be what you are looking for if you want a typical city builder.

      Then with various DLC packs add so much more to the game! You can sell slaves to the empire who later give you a shiny cube, worship the sacred cube, form cults dedicated to the cubes embrace, build spaceships to spread the cubes love, create an army of undead ghouls to protect the eternal cube, create an army of clone child soldiers to man the artillery that annihilate all that dare taint the cubes glory by their presence!
