(Dwarf Fortress): Ongu Asialá, (Ongu Speayells), Hare Woman Bard

Latest resident in my fort. Waiting for this to turn out to be Bugs Bunny in drag

Is that Bill O'Reilly? What happened to all his flesh?

He'd be the first to tell you. He might be 6 and a half feet and built like a brick privy, but he's a dwarf. He's performed the rite of k'zakra, he knows the secrets of h'ragna, and he can ha'lk his g'rakna correctly. As far as dwarves are concerned, that makes him a dwarf

The forgotten beast Wolfechu has come! A huge, spindly humanoid. It has long wild hair, and fidgets and squirms constantly.

Beware its long, boring stories about video games!

I suspect I'll never want to play that game, just because everyone seems to have the craziest emotional baggage about it already.

Even if it were true that men don't have that nurturing instinct, but hey, it's a video game. It can help you imagine what that feeling would be like.

I'm 6'6", but no-one's ever suggested I'm too tall to play Dwarf Fortress

I like how it's more or less seven years every time. Literal seven-year-itch

Bah. Being a dwarf isn't about how tall you are on the outside, it's how tall you are on the /inside/ that matters!

Bacon sandwiches immediately banned under law following his announcement. Taking NO chances this time round

I wouldn't mind if it was ALL keyboard or ALL mouse, but it splits the difference oddly, requiring the mouse at awkward times.

DFHack DOES help, giving a lot more keyboard shortcuts and tools, but it's not perfect even with that

They fixed one in the latest patch where soldiers wouldn't wear their armored boots, and that's a problem in-game that's almost old enough to drink

From what he's said about Myth and Magic over the years, that'll be an option in worldgen settings. The amount of magic and how it works will be fully adjustable, up and including 'no magic at all'

Sucession fort! Old, old way of playing. Be the manager of the fort for an in-game year, and then pass the save onto the next manager

Blake. He looks at least forty to me

I'm sorry but I still refuse to believe this man is only seven

Oh, so like the Cable station?

I watched that back in the 90s with a few friends, and when the end credits started we all just looked shellshocked, like we'd been through some huge trauma

But hey, at least they'll sleep well that night. Knowing they've done their bit to oppose fascism. With handkerchiefs.

I feel like not attending would be a more effective protest than a hidden message in your jacket pocket

I kinda wonder if that's the point. Like, they want to protest, but not /visibly/, they might get kicked out. But secretly protesting, that's about their speed

That sounds kinda like Terra Invicta, where you're one of several shadowy organizations on Earth trying to get space industry online and running, to deal with the UFOs that are starting to sneak into the solar system

It was a remarkably amoral game as well. If you felt like sending your squad out to torch a crowd of innocent civilians for no apparent reason, the game was just Okeydokey with that

The moment when he pushes the mouse away from him, and then looks surprised to see it

I'm as surprised as anyone by the Dwarf Fortress/MTG crossover secret lairs.

I didn't realize MTG was popular enough

DF's got a lot of tools to automate stuff though, and DFhack has more. The first couple years of a fort are micromanagey, But once you get above 40 or 50 dwarves I'm just watching them do their own thing and not interfering unless a siege shows up

I'm the sure the pope understand the Just War Doctrine just fine, and also knows the war in Iran meets none of the four criteria to consider it a just war

What makes it sophisticated? I thought a DDoS was about quantity, not quality

"according to nine people" feels like a really good twist of the knife there

I seem to remember one of the Muppet movies shows the WTC on the skyline after it shouldn't. Which suggests Muppets actually prevented 9/11 somehow

Charlie the ginger cat snoozing in his mother's office

Not a care (or a brain cell) in the world
