Any good fantasy legendarium will be racist and sexist, like biology itself.

DCSS' iterative distributed development evolved races, gods and backgrounds to occupy distinct niches in both gameplay and player imagination. The result is beautiful. Even those who have never played can appreciate the pictures associated with each racial archetype: HTML, Gitlab.

(I especially liked seeing Drizzt's panther summon come to life. My felid icon will forever be black.)

Whether it's the suicide bomber Orc religion of pieces or the hypnotic vampire synagogue of Satan, tru-DCSS speaks truth to power. No wonder the trans-revolutionaries had to ruin it.

If you're unfamiliar with DCSS, the best way to look up the table's jargon is to simply download v.23. The nu-DCSS wiki now reflects radically-revised versions of the game. (Looking at past versions of wiki pages requires navigating the version history.)

The Left has swept Western institutions, subverting even our video games. Join me at c/roguelikes to git gud and take back the culture. They can't stop us here, because it's open source. (((Blackrock))) ESG may control Github and Reddit, but it can't touch Scored.co and Gitgud.io

Stop playing woke video games, and start playing and developing based ones. Roguelikes teach patience, prudence and probability estimation – traits we will need in the coming turbulent decades. Ever since I beat Castle of the Winds as a child, I believed in the heroic journey. The games we build will shape our childrens' souls.

CDDA -> CBN

ObsidianSword

I didn't know things are this bad with DCSS. I knew something was wrong when that trap change drama happened but yeesh.

CDDA suffered from exactly the same issue, and lots of people left. Thankfully non-woke fork (CBN) exists but open source scenes suck these days.

Yes, effeminate autists are highly susceptible to the revolution trans. It is up to the masculine nerds to fork and defeat the faggots.

4chan successfully did so with CDDA, resulting in Cataclysm: Bright Nights. DCSS is due for the same treatment, and it will be c/Roguelikes leading the charge.

Drizzt

GrundlePuncher

I especially liked seeing Drizzt's panther summon come to life. My felid icon will forever be black

why would they even change that?

The default is orange, which is more visible against the initial Dungeon terrain, but black is way cooler.

Not a political issue, AFAIK.

They [The left] can't stop us here, because it's open source.

If I understood the story correctly, they just did with your game. They ruined the game, people left, and now the few people left are looking at the ruins trying to "make it great again". But that's too late, now you will have to spend energy again, months or years of work, convince people to play it again, and nothing is stopping the wokes to step up again and ruin it again and again. The left will infiltrate whatever they can, spread like cancer, take control, or if they can't control it, destroy it.

As much as I like FOSS, we can't deny it's an open gate for the wokes, and we can't take anything for granted.

You got one out of two antecedents right. "Here" refers to Scored.co and Gitgud.io, alternatives to the controlled venues. This is evident when the sentence is read in the context of the paragraph.

It's not my game. I joined when Woke staged its coup, partly for the political challenge. I am the reaction, not the defeated conservatives, who mostly left.

DCSS is to roguelikes what Emacs is to text editors. It cannot be replaced; the effort of its creation was too massive. The number of bad versions created by woke devs is irrelevant. It is not ruined; rather it is still the best roguelike, with nothing else coming close.

nu-DCSS has regained popularity by targeting the larger roguelite market. Player base is not a problem.

I will be playing and developing the game regardless, because it is the best. Those who chase novelty instead of mastery are irrelevant casuals.

nothing is stopping the wokes to step up again and ruin it again and again.

Defeatist lies. The Left cannot compete with the Right unless it has institutional backing. They have no sway over Scored.co or Gitgud.io, where my DCSS fork is based.

It is true that they will try to infiltrate, but Scored communities demonstrate that they will fail. The second rule of c/roguelikes is "No SJWs". I had to ban one leftist spammer at the start but haven't had trouble since.

Naming the Jew is built into the bones of DCSF: Vampires are Chaos Knight blood bankers based on syphilis and the Rothschilds. Leftists wouldn't dream of associating with something so anti-Semitic, for fear of getting canceled themselves.

As much as I like FOSS, we can't deny it's an open gate for the wokes, and we can't take anything for granted.

I am demonstrating how to close the gate.

Orcs

I don't like any game that has goblins/orcs have any sort of intelligence or human traits. They are monsters with beastial drive to kill or be killed

That's not how Tolkien wrote them. And therein lies the horror. They are a metaphor for non-European races.

UndeadArmor

Aren't goblins and orcs just corrupted versions of men and elves? Besides there are human races in-universe that are based on non-Whites that have allied with Sauron.

Certainly. One may ponder which Human races Tolkien viewed as more Orc-like; one suspects the Mongol horde and the Negroid savage.

However, Tolkien did not write allegory; he translated esoteric history from forgotten Ages of Man. Orcs and other monsters were real bioweapon races created during the Atlantean wars, when men and elves fought together. Human biodiversity is due to extreme amounts of Xeno hybridization. Thus seeing a correspondence between a Human ethnicity and a Xeno race is likely to be less metaphor than genetic fact.

Hybridization is a poorly understood concept to most urbanites detached from the realities of animal breeding. Human-Xeno hybridization has drastically accelerated since Roswell; late-stage hybrids can pass as Human and live in Human society. Of course, Human is a galactic genus, so many full Xenos can do the same.
