My favourite ever Crusader Kings patch note was “Intelligent women no longer confront their pregnant lesbian lover to ask if they are the father of that child. Stupid women however, still have a chance to ask that question.”
Made Buddhist ambitions easier to fulfill
Need that patch irl lol
I’m not saying Buddhists never have ambitions, but they’re definitely doing buddhism wrong if they do.
This reminds me of a story I read once about some airline that was well regarded for its adept mechanic/technician workforce. They would have sassy inspection notes like
Pilot: Front left tire almost needs replacing
Mechanic: Almost replaced front left tire.
I remember seeing something like that years ago. A few more that popped to my memory just now:
PILOT: autopilot altitude hold has a 100 ft/min descent.
MECHANIC: cannot reproduce issue on ground.
PILOT: evidence of tyre leak in left main landing gear.
MECHANIC: evidence removed.
PILOT: [system] behaves funny.
MECHANIC: [system] has been firmly told to get their shit together and straighten up their act.
PILOT: strange sounds behind console. Sounds like a midget beating things with a hammer.
MECHANIC: hammer taken from midget
There was something about the speaker being at an unbelievable volume as well?
If I’m remembering right it was:
PILOT: Headset volume is unbelievably loud.
MECHANIC: Headset volume has been set to a more believable level.
A few more I remember from way back when:
PILOT: Mouse found in cockpit.
MECHANIC: Cat installed.
PILOT: Something loose in cockpit
Mechanic: Something tightened in cockpit
PILOT: Friction locks cause throttle to stick.
MECHANIC: Good, they’re supposed to.
(How did you get a new line without a blank line between them??? Formatting shouldn’t be this hard.)
You should definitely play both Crusader Kings and Dwarf Fortress - the feeling that you get when you read it: “Hah, it feels like in real life but damn it’s crazy” Is true for gameplay of both games in general. When things are simulated with enough details, stories appear!
Even the amount of pre-written stuff for Crusader Kings is insane.
I once got seduced and murdered by my own sister as revenge for murdering my brothers to inherit their kingdoms. The funny part was that the “getting seduced by my sister” part was apparently a scripted event based on actual history. And that’s just one example.
That sounds like the north Iberia start, with the 3 brothers each with their own kingdoms and the intrigue sister.
I’ve started Dward Fortress a bunch of times but I always feel like I’m messing something up and want to restart - never managed to play long enough to lose on it.
So I play both Rimworld and DF pretty often and I always tell people to play Rimworld first. Get used to the type of game itself and then step up to the big boy that is DF.
Both are very much worth your time, and I figure it’s a good introduction without being overwhelmed.
My favorite is a patch note from Team Fortress 2: Fixed a server crash caused by sniper trying to eat his gun
