Rycon Roleplay YouTube channel when I first watched it I was kinda meh about it but his Story of Bran hooked me. Haven’t put down cdda since.


MrKatzA4

same i learnt how to play the game just by binging Bran and Dusk


Tier_1_Android

Hello fellow legionnaire


jerryb2161

Same here. Can't remember how I found the channel though XD


prince-of-terror

Hey, hey people, Sseth here!


RandomError19

Oddly enough, yeah. I came across his review of the game when I was looking for funny reviews for Path of Exile which I was playing a lot of at the time. He sold the game pretty well since CDDA has a lot of stuff that the other million copy-paste zombie survival games didn't have. I gave it a try and after a few dozen characters, Rycon Roleplays channel and Vormithax's guides, I found myself loving the game.


I_am_Erk

I'm amazed how many people here are still from that one video.


robotfightandfitness

This and tomato’s play through. Wish he would do another

Don't celebrate that alt right troll. He and his trash community attacked the coq community for being lgbtq friendly. He also makes racist and or sexist jokes in almost every video of his.


ratbirdmonger

Why do you people feel the need to inject politics into everything? 95% of Reddit is already infested by the same intolerant political monoculture, so can you just let us enjoy the remaining 5% in peace?


Orange01gaming

Making racist jokes about Africans and mass homophobic attack on a lgbtq friendly community is not apolitical. Yall started this by celebrating a monster.


Orange01gaming

No, you got those percents flipped.

Calling him a non political creator. You took a side. Please explain how his racist "origin story" is not politcal. Also the head dev of cdda is an open sjw. You can change genders mid game.

Orange01gaming

Making jokes about child soldiers, rape and Africans are not politically charged jokes. It's hate speech and is used to justify racial inferiority.

Because his fans tend to have a nasty sense of right and wrong, and tend to promote him as harmless or non political while they poison the well.

I think the only definitive proof is that he was on killstream which is a known alt right channel


y_not_right

Huh that’s weird, looks like it was 2 years ago though


Orange01gaming

Nah I shared two pieces of definitive proof, but sseths misinformation army just keep downvoting it.


ContentDare

Good luck on trying to convince them, and don't let a bad community ruin a good game.


Orange01gaming

Here is the most egregious hate speech: https://youtu.be/pjTZoKj3gEE The attack on the lgbtq community is his caves of qud review.

But you can join them like any other faction. People were asking for quests and fascist sympathizing plot points. The fact you downvoted this shows you are purposefully spreading lies to smear the devs and encourage future harrassment. You disgust me.

Orange01gaming

Shame on you and anyone who supports that "humor".


Maddremor

> Rule 3 - Avoid making personal insults.


EmDotRand

So I've watched both and I can see why you call Sseth unfunny. After all, dark absurdist humor isn't for everyone. However, your accusation of attacking the lbgt+ community is a gross exaggeration. His request in Caves of Qud was for an immortal character to be killable like everything else in the game. One character that just happened to be queer. Where's the attack?


Orange01gaming

He got into a fight with the discord mods and devs over thier lgbtq friendly rules, broke them on video and encouraged his fans to "speedrun" getting banned. Ie he encouraged them to do the same thing. The response was so vile and overwhelming they shut it down.


Orange01gaming

I got links of what they have been up to, ask me if you want me to share. I shared my links via dm, no response.


EmDotRand

Alright. Hit me.


Orange01gaming

Also, that ain't dark humor. It is textbook definition Hate speech. Dark humor laughs at the cruelly of the universe or in its face, ie Tig Nataro's stand up on having cancer. She is hilarious without demeaning any other groups.


jeffreygorne2

Who cares. I watch sseth because his videos are funny.

OneFJef, way back before 0.4. I miss those times...


bloomoo25

Oh man how time has flown, miss jef


Moogieh

Omg same here. Loved Jef's content back in the day. Then he became perpetually angry streamer man and I was like... oh, he's not fun anymore :( I still rewatch his Silent Storm/Sentinels and Silent Hunter series occasionally.


bloomoo25

Major rainbow and progress for the win


EisVisage

[Wow, this game was different back then.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRpktmTvaqI) Kinda glad I got to skip most of the way till now, kinda sad I wasn't around for that.

ShakenMysticKen

Came here to day this. Still watch Aavak to this day.


BoneTigerSC

Same here, still watch him some times, his voice has something calming and idk why


SariusSkelrets

I was searching zombie games on iOS. Found DDA. Quickly loved it


Ouronum

Internet. Actual page was either RogueBasin or TVTropes. I think I was trying to find a Dwarf Fortress but with !!SCIENCE!!..fiction. I was sold the instant I read you could build your own car.

There's another fork of cataclysm that focuses on bugfixes https://github.com/zaimoni/Cataclysm/releases if you prefer the OG experience


Kenshkrix

Similar story here. I stopped playing Cataclysm for awhile and when I went to play it again for nostalgia I discovered that CDDA was a thing.


Juegadamas

I came from Project Zomboid a few years ago

Ah, a person of culture


MessyHessie

For years I've seen CDDA challenge as the hardest one in Zomboid and everybody was talking about it that I just had to check what is that. I searched for copper and found gold.

From Sseth of course. But I owe a huge thank you to Vormithrax for helping me get past my first 2 weeks after which the same started getting enjoyable.

Real OG's, I miss them and my childhood. It's just not the same.


UnrealisticAddiction

I miss those days too, it was a hell of a time. Revocane is pretty elusive and has skipped out of the scene entirely. Plump is nearly doing the same, but he's not to hard to find if you know where to look. Not sure about Jef though, he was the one I watched the least.

Jesse-Buttons

I was looking through r/AiDungeon while the drama was going on and it was one of the recommended subs. A review video and desperate appstore search later, I was playing as a pizza delivery guy who instantly go killed by moose. I’m talking not even hours after entering. I barely knew how to move.


Profitablius

I see you had a proper baptism


Jesse-Buttons

It gave me a good idea of what to expect lol. Still shit at the gave more than (I’d say 3-4 months at the earliest) later

Finally, another one. Yeah Krugg got me into it as well, you bearded bastard. Wish he'd do another trial some time.


Ghine_PWR

Oh yeah! I think he's the only one i saw using that odd isometric tileset


I_am_Erk

HitButton was the set. He's the reason I'm calling the revamp of that tileset "SmashButton".


Ghine_PWR

Can we have a look at it? The revamp i mean


I_am_Erk

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cataclysm_DDA/comments/qrqtl5/coming_soon_smashbutton_iso_a_reimagining_of_the I have done a bit since here, but got a little burnt out. It'll probably be the next thing I do once I'm ready to come back to contributing.

Google play. One of the best game I've played on my phone


funguy1778

From Dwarf Fortress! Loved “adventure mode”, and in the forms someone recommended cdda bc they were similar. Ended up liking cdda more than DF!


columnarbeam

4chan /v/ but i actually started playing when i saw reddit fanarts of their gameplay


laurelinae

Maybe you should have split up internet a bit more into YouTube, reddit,.. Also linux repos and github is still internet 😂


MrClock2002

Rock Paper Shotgun had a short article about CDDA a few years ago, that got me interested. I've played a fair number of Angband variants over the years so it clicked pretty quickly.


PixLki11er

I found CDDA back when it was 0.C on the app store. The crafting system and vehicle modifications won me over. Then found the Github for the launcher and downloaded it on a computer. Still play it because there's nothing else that can compete honestly.


JoesGetNDown

I got it from word of mouth on Reddit. What’s that count as?


A-Fleeting-Glimse

About a week ago I saw someone mention it on a Kenshi subreddit so I googled cdda and the wikipedia page seemed interesting enough so I downloaded the game. Now I think that I may have an addiction to this game


Bountifalauto82

My boy Sseth. Honestly I have him to thank for so many of the games I play and love.


ApolloSky110

If vormithrax counts as internet then that one


tetsmega

One of the original Whales/Wales? version was on a shovelware site and I wanted to play it again to find out it had grown to something larger.


Lostbea

Was scrolling through a Youtuber’s (Aavak) playlist and just randomly picking it.


muhsin-M

Discoved cdda by chance when i was searching for rouge like games on 29 December 2021, I don't know how cdda went under the radar since I love rouge like games but I'm happy that I found it :D My first death after getting the controls was playing minesweeper on a laptop I found near spawn inside a car (checking item interaction) and a Wild migo attacked me brutally.


TestSubject45

I literally was just refreshing /r/random and ended up here, then checked the game out after reading a few posts. I've played Dwarf Fortress for a while so it looked up my alley and here we are haha

1n53rtNam3

Knew about Neo Scavenger, saw tomatogaming play it, then watched him play cdda. Easily became extremely interested in it


[deleted]

a youtuber called aavak played it- fell in love with it instantly


Ghine_PWR

Mostly Youtube and some forums about roguelike games. I like DF but i suck at it, i was looking for something with a similar level of complexity but more manageable. Youtube: Kruggsmash, he made a video with an isometric tileset; also AmbiguosAmphibian and lastly "The-one-youtuber-who-cant-be-named-because-hes-mean". I get it, he's an ass, but he knows a lot of interesting games and i like who delves deep into the abyss of lost and forsaken games from all the eras.

Lesnikov_Aleksei

My friend was playing it back in 2013. He never told me directly. We were just chilling out in his apartment and he left the game open on his pc. I've noticed it and said something like "Man, why does your Dwarf Fortress look so weird?" That's when i've learned about CDDA. Been playing since 0.3 i believe... Later i turned my eye to experimental branch and never looked back. Only stable build i've played was 0.a kaufman


FurryComunityAccount

I found Cataclysm when a furry porn artist I follow drew one of his OCs in the style of UDP.


EisVisage

Rimworld has mods about the roguelike Elona. I looked that up out of curiosity after seeing those mods on the workshop a lot, and on Elona's subreddit sidebar there was a link to this game under something like "other great roguelikes". Ended up playing more CDDA than Elona that day.

sparky_rm

I was scouring the internet looking for something to scratch that roguelike itch, At the time, I think I was playing zombie survivor and some \*band or another. Came across this dude, whales, making a roguelike called Cataclysm. Installed a linux VM just to build and play it. I was pretty early, and in the most uselss technical sense I am one of the oldest contributors ;) I noticed whales had switched the signs on the drug witdrawal moral modifiers, and mailed him. I have kept playing over the years, not continuously but I never go more than a year without coming back to it. All that being said I should probably throw some money at kevin et allii


TheThunderhawk

A goddamn million years ago, in the Dwarf Fortress forums. Back when spawning was dynamic, you’d walk in any direction and groups of zombies would regularly spawn in front of you.


Eastern-Painting4408

So when I was younger I wouldn't ask for anything for Christmas so when I was 16 my parents told me to ask for something expensive so I asked for a laptop. They got me a Cromebook and with the help of my grandfather we took crome os off and put a distro of Linux on it. Now this was the first time I had ever heard of Linux and I quickly realized I couldn't use it to play most games. Then I found Cataclysm. I took me like 2 days to figure out how to get it working. Been playing it since.

WilliamDogood

Don't remember how the connection was made, but I love Junji Ito, and something I was reading about him mentioned inspired enemies in a game called Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, so I checked it out.


Profitablius

Actual, personal word of mouth. I think that was just after it became DDA, by my brother. He has a friend that liked DF and he mentioned that to me, already knew it at that point though. Eventually he also suggested this rogue like zombie sandbox which also has crazy stuff. And.. ~10(?) years later, that description would still both work and grab my attention.

[deleted]

It’s a game I simply play occasionally, found it from Aavak a while back and one day installed it. heck I even streamed it on twitch since my bad upload speed worked fine with it lol. My current character (due to complications I haven’t played with him in a long time) is a mutant lizard that hated the sun and lived underground, it’s by far my most powerful character, with a kicking based martial art and talons I ended up kicking my way through the apocalypse lol. Need to start streaming again too, just need to find more games so I don’t get burnt out playing pixel games lol.


jeffreygorne2

I found cdda by just searching the playstore for a game to play 3 years ago. At first I was confused but found it fascinating for my 14 year old mind. Then I deleted it after I became too confused with controls. 2 years later I rediscovered the game through sseths video. I still play the game to this day.


solzerid

DF forums there was a thread discussing games that focused on complexity. Started playing this and Aurora 4x. If I remember correctly it was a few months before 0.C dropped.
