Dwarf Fortress это такой симулятор, в котором примитивнейшая графика, но при этом в мире игры обсчитывается чуть ли не масса каждой травинки, и это влияет на всё происходящее. Был такой научпоп-факт, что если из мира убрать муравьёв, то всё погибнет. Вот в Dwarf Fortress вполне возможны такие случаи. В сети есть история, как в одной крепости стали погибать коты, потому что они вылизывали свою шерсть, а она была пропитана пивом из-за того, что они ходили по пивным лужам.
Я сам не играю из-за слишком уж абстрактной графики и высокого порога вхождения. Но сама идея крутая и увлекает тысячи игроков на сотни часов.
Так вот, разработчики 20 лет делают мега-задротную игру для мега-задротов. Иронично, что они сами выглядят при этом как супер стереотипные задроты. И я уверен, что они совершенно счастливы, и тот факт, что они заработали миллионы баксов, лишь совсем небольшая составляющая этого счастья.

🚕 A new online taxi service Zendo has launched in Bali
📰 While Balinese taxi drivers are trying to resist Gojek and Grab services that have taken over the market, another competitor has almost imperceptibly appeared, ready to offer affordable bike rides to the population.
ℹ️Zendo is an Indonesian taxi, delivery and cleaning service covering 25 cities in Indonesia. Now the services are also available in Bali. The island has become one of the 45 places where the service plans to come in 2025.
👍 Representatives of the service write that they are ready to provide any service, as long as it does not violate the law.
