At least he’s pretty based for someone in the niche of nerdy ass games. He said BLM during the 2020 protests and during the Palestinian protests in ‘21 he said Free Palestine, that US was backing an apartheid, and gave a bunch of resources to donate to Palestinians. Good guy and you should purchase his game because it’s pretty cool.

    In contrast the Rimworld guy (Tynan) is a sketchy guy who coded romantic attraction that young women will always be attracted to old men (and vice versa) and when called out by an outlet that have been supporting his game since alpha he frames them as SJWs out to cancel him and sic his fanbase at the site.

    Oh, the "Blood and Dust" difficulty was actually called Blood and Soil upon update and was quietly changed when people pointed it out. probably nothing right?

      fuck tynan but i still love rimworld. and despite his sketch i'm glad he made such a moddable game.

      in the end it basically became the People's Colony Management sim since it's basically entirely driven by the mod community. my mood changes between sci/fi and fantasy and rimworld fills that power armor/laser cannon need. plus it has one of the best spaceship design/salvage/combat games as a freaking mod.. even Cosmoteer hasn't even developed all the stuff in SOS2 yet.

      BUUUUT.... i'm grabbing a copy of steam dwarf fortress immediately though and plan on melting my brain. and unlike rimworld DF is truly a passion project built as though it was developed in a socialist game dev system. he's held out so long without more then donations/mutual aid and I have no problem kicking tarn some sweet sweet $$$ for product

      and i fucking love mining AND I SHALL DIG GREEDILY AND DEEP

      Also the Factorio dev went on a similar cancel culture screed when someone pointed out a video he was linking to was made by a piece of shit. I can't remember any of the context, but I do remember walking away from it convinced he was a chud.
