The thread title has made me realize that I am now the person who pronounces it "El Jibbitty"

Not sure this is the right place to ask as this thread seems pretty dead, but is there any news on progress of the native Linux Steam version?

Putnam is actively working on the port. There's been a bunch of unforseen issues, but she's working through them.

Skip sublingual before the draw, yeah. Otherwise it'll spike the results.

Maximizing the window has caused crashes forever and we don't know why.

Looks like init/arena.txt was not updated by mistake in classic.

Replace the contents with this file to get it to work right: https://pastebin.com/T1U7LEsY

Now you've got me confused.

The frog is kind of funny sometimes but in basically 100% of conversations I've seen like this it eventually turns out the guy complaining about overzealous moderation was being way worse than he wants people to think.

The full scenario was I commented about my dwarves doing something silly and posted an angry pepe - actually fairly sure it was my first post in the DF discussion channel as I just went there to report a bug earlier - then some mod DM'd me a warning you can't post pepes in the server, I said I couldn't see anything in the rules about pepe, but he pointed it out under the heading "personal attacks and harassment" that I skimmed because, like, why would it be there lol. And so I found it is in fact against the rules, as they state because it's associated with hate groups. I told him what I thought of such a rule and that I wouldn't follow it and if that's a problem he should just ban me now. Is that me being way worse than I wanted people to think?

Badness aside, you literally told him to ban you, so why are you here crying about it.

Her, but yes. (It was me. I swung the hammer)

We agree that it was explicitly stated in the rules "before" he posted? (and not added afterwards)
in that case it is fair game. (even if i would prefere if the "banned thing list" would be something legally decided as it would make it clearer to everyone where to look up and what list to refere to to know if / what is allowed)
Is "winnie the pooh" banned too, or is he allowed? (i ask as i've already heard of him being banned)

It's been explicitly stated in the rules for a long time now, yes.

Also nobody is banned without warning unless they're steam scammers.

Which is funny, because I one had a guyact very huffy when I asked him to stop some behavior that wa going against the spirit of the rules, even if that very specific situation wasn't written out, and they were going on and on about "Where is it written in the rules that I can't do this thing? I have no possible way of knowing that I can't do this thing" despite me telling them right there that they can't do this thing.

At the end of the day, the ban on Pepe the frog is just one of the ways that we use to make sure that the server remains free of bigots and chuds and other similar nasties, and I have seen many people comment on how nice it is that they feel safe to be there, which tells me that it's working.

Huzzah!
