Did I say that you were stupid? I did not... I only said that it's not particularly complicated (there isn't much to parse). Were I to compare it to video games: it would not be Dwarf Fortress... but Civilization.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
