Dwarves play dwarf fortress

Dragons have neverending arguments about idle games which seem painfully generic and interchangeable to anything on two legs. Swarm Simulator Simulator, Multiversal Paperclips, Urban Dead, that sort of thing. In reality the games are just an occasional distraction, and what they're really addicted to are those years-long threads of snippy factional elitism about the games. Dragons routinely get banned from MOBA forums for being the absolute worst accounts that technically never break the rules. They bicker about the meta like they're experts hiding behind toons. They have literally never played the game.

Liches are the ones getting wound-up by dragons in all those forums. Unironic edgelords with giant signatures and arcane medals below their ooh-so-spooky avatars. Any account created a week after the game launched, chewing out some friendly newbie for not knowing something the developer mentioned once on IRC, then getting tilted when a lizard-themed sockpuppet incorrectly nitpicks their grammar? Lich. They are of course the most toxic players in any game they hyperfixate on, because they'll never, ever get banned. Through unnatural rituals like privately befriending the programmers, they are beyond consequence. They can still be spotted on chan boards saying shit that no mortal moderator could excuse. Ironically none of them play Urban Dead because they consider the revival mechanics insensitive.

Fairies are the squeaky shit-talkers in hypercompetitive shooter lobbies. They are genuinely terrifying where twitch reactions matter. Fairies can rinse through Nuketown with twin shotguns while playing on DK Bongos. Their contentious relationship with humanity arises primarily from not respecting any strategy besides "Rush B."

A rhythm game with supply chain management would be bomb. Different rhythms at different parts of the line generate different products, and accuracy can control the purity of the final product. The levels could end up making a whole song, and eventually you can get steam engines and digital things to add different sounds. Ooo, and make the savegames MIDI files.

Guess I'm a six foot tall dwarf. Well, I do have over 1600 hours on Factorio, which is pretty dwarfish

Kobolds play minion based puzzle games, where individual units are super expendable. Pikmin, Lemmings, Overlord, etc.

Gnomes have incredibly realistic flight simulators and spreadsheet management sims life Football Manager and Eve

Dragonborn lack a well defined cultural niche so they get nothing.

Dragons: Very much enjoy hard metroidvanias and soulsbornes for the absolutely immense amount of stuff you can collect, replayability, and generally godlike power you end up with. Sapphire Dragons specifically are also not allowed to go anywhere near Factorio, because they'll forget to eat and sleep while playing it.

Gnome culture is being obscenely good at ~~Kobold~~ Kerbal Space Program. Kobold culture is farming alt accounts on popular online games for their dragon.

Leonin exclusively play games on the nintendo wii that use the motion controls (Wrist straps are for weenies, fragile objects beware). There is an entire Kenku industry for Wii repairs and reproductions.

Felkin play minecraft and or jackbox, not because they're good at it but because they're some of the only games where you can absolutely guarantee that there will be support for a race with no opposable thumbs AND several friends to play with. Likely to own the world's most well-used spare controller for guests.

Tieflings play incredibly difficult platformers with undertones of self-acceptance, overcoming inner struggle, and learning to have self-worth. In other words, Celeste. I don't make the rules around here.

I want to try a dwarf Grand Strategy game. I'd probably be lost for my first 1000 hours, but I think it'd still be fun to try.

Not going to lie, as an outsider before checking the community name, that title made me do a double- (more like quadruple-) take. Thanks for a mood boost at 0150 AM.

Mortals cannot comprehend dwarven grand strategy games.

Dwarves are mortal. So they don’t comprehend their own games?

TIL that I'm not human and would never want to be, if that hashtag at the end is to be trusted 😂

On point for Orcs. Warcraft II and the expansion had awesome music.

Count me in for the dwarven minecraft with better physics, I would love to mix in some magic stuff to allow for floating fortresses and trying to figure out how to make a suspension bridge over to it would be a lot of fun, bonus points if it could reach base level architectural engineering

I could have sworn that I saw Borag Meat Game in the playstation store for $0.99 last week.

Angband...

Has the most unintuitive UI, turn based battles may sometimes take a really long time. Andit's pretty long (because it's hard)

Sheer poetry

Kobolds enjoy half-incomprehensible nightmarishly difficult Vehicle Builders like Armored Core and From The Depths

Where Gnome?

And humans try to play all of them, but kind of badly.

Goblin game matches me best.

Polish ppl play gothic
