    “Digging a hole” is more of a metaphor. Could also be applied to putting a lot of effort and time into any craft that looks and sounds meaningless on the surface. I work on an open-source game engine for at least a decade (to save myself, usually I only work a few hours on it at once), but I’m also looking into building my own guitar pedals, and maybe once I can start making headless guitars out of carbon fiber and with neodymium pickups, the ultimate sacrilige against guitar traditionalist snobs.

      Maybe, but as a young lad I had a weird drive to dig holes in dirt. I always bugged my parents but they never let me. Then one year I dug a bunch of post holes working for my dad. Now I think dirt is fine where it currently is.

        My parents let me have a dirt pit when I was a kid, it was a fucking blast. It sorta went away when it evolved into bike jumps

        oh yep that’ll do it.

        I wanted to chainsaw a tree as a kid. Now that ive climbed a tree as an adult and chopped its limbs off whilst hoping the chain doesn’t snap - I’m done.

        Back to planting, and nurturing thanks

    Pretty sure the top image is the last stand of the Thunder warriors from 30k. The emperor’s treason shall not be forgotten, FOR THE WAR MASTER!

    Best part is you can have all three: Dig a hole to moleman territory in winter, get into a desperate final stand against the moleman warriors crawl out and bleed to death in the snow. Wet dream material.

    None of them checks out. My fantasy is being able to provide a small community in a post-collapse society with crafting, engineering, and knowledge

    Three types of guys: The Orcs, the Elves and the Dwarves. They are not mutually exclusive.

    One of my favorite parts about being fluid is feeling like “male fantasy” and “female fantasy” memes are made for me. This is definitely no exception!

    Nah that’s the same fantasy: dig hole, dig to deeply and to greedily, defend against what you awakened, heroic last stand, noble sacrifice, bleed out on snow knowing you saved everyone else.

        It’s real, has some of the best digging I’ve seen in any game. I’m not a streamer or anything. Just like digging with heavy equipment. Spent alot of timing modding Farming Sim to do till I found Out of Ore.

        I just moved over to Linux and I’m trying to move my save right now.

        Same. I lucked into the best

        Tap for spoiler

        partner I possibly could have had. He let me explore and do things on my own and when I got stuck, he would chirp with the right direction. He had special robes so I knew he knew everything and was just my Sherpa, and we could talk without talking. I had to use the restroom so I made two circles and chirped, and he chirped and stopped moving. He stood up when I came back and we were on our way. My partner had the worst experience… first partner disconnected after ten minutes. Restarted. Second partner was a speedrunner. Third partner disconnected before the final climb. No more partner. I was very sad for them.

          This is very similar to my own experience and I think is why Lemmy in particular has such mixed views on the game. It’s a game best shared with a total stranger who you’ll never know and that persons attitude to the game (playstyle) can change that experience too.

          So Lemmy, where so many multiplayer game threads start with comments like “this game is bad, I never play multiplayer games.” Probably lend to a lot of people not liking a game whose main mechanic is being saddled with a stranger.

      Loved the game, but still think it’s overhyped. ;)

      The last portion is just a slog after all the fun of the fast movement and pretty visuals.
