    My favourite ever Crusader Kings patch note was “Intelligent women no longer confront their pregnant lesbian lover to ask if they are the father of that child. Stupid women however, still have a chance to ask that question.”

      I really liked the one that said they had resolved late game lag caused by Greek characters constantly evaluating whether or not to castrate everyone

    You should definitely play both Crusader Kings and Dwarf Fortress - the feeling that you get when you read it: “Hah, it feels like in real life but damn it’s crazy” Is true for gameplay of both games in general. When things are simulated with enough details, stories appear!

      Even the amount of pre-written stuff for Crusader Kings is insane.

      I once got seduced and murdered by my own sister as revenge for murdering my brothers to inherit their kingdoms. The funny part was that the “getting seduced by my sister” part was apparently a scripted event based on actual history. And that’s just one example.

    This reminds me of a story I read once about some airline that was well regarded for its adept mechanic/technician workforce. They would have sassy inspection notes like

    Pilot: Front left tire almost needs replacing
    Mechanic: Almost replaced front left tire.

      I remember seeing something like that years ago. A few more that popped to my memory just now:

      PILOT: autopilot altitude hold has a 100 ft/min descent.
      MECHANIC: cannot reproduce issue on ground.

      PILOT: evidence of tyre leak in left main landing gear.
      MECHANIC: evidence removed.

      PILOT: [system] behaves funny.
      MECHANIC: [system] has been firmly told to get their shit together and straighten up their act.

      PILOT: strange sounds behind console. Sounds like a midget beating things with a hammer.
      MECHANIC: hammer taken from midget

          If I’m remembering right it was:

          PILOT: Headset volume is unbelievably loud.
          MECHANIC: Headset volume has been set to a more believable level.

          A few more I remember from way back when:

          PILOT: Mouse found in cockpit.
          MECHANIC: Cat installed.

          PILOT: Something loose in cockpit
          Mechanic: Something tightened in cockpit

          PILOT: Friction locks cause throttle to stick.
          MECHANIC: Good, they’re supposed to.

          (How did you get a new line without a blank line between them??? Formatting shouldn’t be this hard.)

    There used to be a Twitter account called The Strange Log which regularly posted things like this. Looks like it’s inactive now, though.

      While I am not saying this is the reason, quite a lot of Twitter users jumped ship, and a fair number came to Tumblr, when Twitter’s new owner took over. They thought Twitter might change and become less welcoming towards them, while Tumblr has always been welcoming to almost anyone who wants to join.
