What’s that game that makes you stare at your PC or console and think, yeah… it’s time for an upgrade. Or the one that actually pushed you over the edge and made you do it? (piefed.social)

Dwarf Fortress

You actually want to downgrade for better performance in DF. It runs better on a single core CPU with a higher clock speed; like something pre-Core2Duo.

I upgraded for a higher clock speed and more RAM, but thus was also years ago before Tarn started outsourcing some of the work on multithreading.

Oh yeah the Steam version added multi-threading, huh? Most of my time has been on the legacy version. I keep forgetting I even have the Steam one!

I haven't even played the update, I just paid for it to support them more. I think the only game I've spent more money on at this point is Sims 3.
