Humor, jokes, memes about TTRPGs
I'm tempted to put Eve Online into the "Elf Video Game" category, because the UI could, to quote Yahtzee, "only be more unintuitive if it was at the bottom of a fucking well." It doesn't really meet the other categories there. It kinda hits "Halfling Video Games," with the sheer politics involved in that game.
Factorio is solidly a "Dwarven Video Game."
Nah, the Orc game would be cozy games because it's about taking a break from the usual fair for your society.
Korog be coming home from a day crushing human skulls to play a game about owning a small farm and suddenly having a box of corgi puppies left on your doorstep to take care of, sold with a weighted blanket to burrito yourself in while playing for the best immersed experience.
So concernedape is a halfling
Tabaxi video games: Open world survival crafting rpg with a million different game mechanics. Bugs out the ass because the developers kept getting distracted by a piece of string or some other random bullshit. Ends on a cliffhanger because they ran out of time to finish the story. Robust modding community by necessity.
Kenku video games: Palworld.
I used to play many orc flash games in the past. I still do when I want to relieve the past.
Never thought I'd play side by side with an orc.
The music always slaps.
What sort of games would Kobolds make? Because I can definitely see them making From the Depths
Infinite play games that focus on collecting random shit for the highest score without any discernable benefit from doing so 'cept "bigger number heheh..."
Untitled Goose Game
ever hear of Bad Rats?
Play a Dwarf civilization in Anbennar (EU4 mod). It's epic. Almost this epic: https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU
In browser flash games? How old is this meme?
Flashpoint is a thing, and orcs are usually regarded as not as technological as other races in fiction so it kinda tracks that they would still be playing flash games
For orcs, then never went away. Waagh.
I'm very into base building games in general.
I think it started with Command and Conquer, and blossomed from there.
I'm currently playing valheim and having no fucking clue what I'm doing, but I'm enjoying myself.
My colonists on mars, Rim world, settlers in fo4, and the DRG dwarves will have to wait.
And I want to try out Ixion? but my laptop sucks so I'll have to wait until I get a desktop or something.
It’s my main genre.
Rimworld
Against the Storm
Timberborn
For non traditional,
Valheim like you said
Satisfactory
Tried timberborn and against the storm, they're good but not for me.
Satisfactory is a good one but my laptop overheats even when I have it on a fan so I gave up on it.
Zany uberviolent team shooters about bugs sounds a whole lot like Deep Rock Galactic.
Goblins are just juvenile dwarves.
I interpreted 'bugs' as 'glitches' rather than creepy crawlies.
There's also the newish Starship Troopers: Extermination
...you really gonna throw out a teaser like that without giving us a list of corresponding games??
The first sentence for goblin games is Hades. The second is EDF.
EDF?
Chikyuu Boueigun, or Earth Defense Force, is a series of low-budget horde shooters developed by Sandlot and published by D3 Publisher. In each game, the earth has been invaded by aliens, who deploy such B-movie tropes as giant insects, flying saucers, huge combat robots, giant green men, and godzillas against humanity. In most games, you play a normal infantryman. In 4.1 and 5, you can choose between normal infantryman, a slow-but-strong power-armour soldier, a fast-but-fragile jetpack girl, or the guy who calls in airstrikes. In any case, you acquire new and stronger weapons in a sort of "gacha" system; slain enemies occasionally drop crates that contain one random weapon, and you won't find out what it is until the mission ends. There's a lot of weapon variety, and you choose 2 weapons to bring with you into each mission, so there's some good fun to be had exploring for synergistic loadouts.
The story is absurd, hammy B-movie fare, written and dubbed with a lot of heart. Most of the games are 4-player coop. It's one of my favourite serieses of all time. I'd recommend starting at 5, because it's available on Steam, it has the most QoL (it's one of those series where each new game feels like the previous game, just.. more and better) and they reboot the chronology every odd game anyway so you're not missing out on anything much. And also because it has aliens who look exactly like humans! 🐸
Grew up on the SNES and the only EDF I could think of was.... Earth Defense Force. But apparently a different game by the same name.
You just brought me WAY back lol.

I played it too as a kid. Yep! Totally unrelated, just convergent evolution. The Japanese armed forces are called the JSDF; Japan's Self-Defense Force (because after WWII, part of their surrender included agreeing to disband their army, so they instead created a Self-Defense Force that's deeefinitely not an army). So clearly, the guys who protect the whole Earth are the Earth Defense Force!
Lol what?? I don't think either of those are accurate.
EDF has my vote for a goblin game
...Hades isn't a gatcha or "collectathon" though.
collectathon
Spoken like an Alpha Warden.
You got counter strike source
Missing dwarf pve shooter. We fight for rock and stone!
Many play Minecraft in dwarf mode
We’re rich!
ROCK
AND
STONE
I would commit petty crimes to have a halfling video game
Dwarf Fortress almost made me fail a few courses in undergrad.
That is a game that redefines the concept of fun.
If you don't gotta consult the reference books regularly, are you even enjoying yourself?
