2 words: lava pressure...

2 more words: FACE PALM

One of these days I am going to build a fortress with tunnels crisscrossing the map for a lava cannon.  It will have pin-point accuracy.  Like putting a scope on a shotgun.

Build six.

So, gentlemen, the question is: what do I do with her?

Whatever temple design you come up with, you should floor it with grates. On the Z level below the grates you should have thousands and  thousands of pieces of burning lignite, so that the entire temple level is constantly wreathed in flame and smoke. (Since the dragon is fireproof.)

This. This is fantastic.

There's your option to turn the military off. ;)

I believe it used to insult you and pretty much say 'This isn't D&D'. It may have been a different input than 'Elec'.

Another good easter egg is typing "Elec" into the manager. I don't know if it works anymore.

Dear UristMcAlligator,

That snailman didn't do anything to you, yet you tore it in half. Good job, we'll be capturing and taming you post-haste.

Your friendly neighbourhood fortress

Just built a giant 70-z level pump stack for magma with some 50 windmills powering it, turned it on.

It burst into flames and came crashing down all the way to the magma sea. It was made of wood.
God.
Fucking.
Damnit.

Oh well, time to do it again, but with steel this time!

[TEMPERATURE:NO]

lololol

Supercomputers almost always rely on numbers of cores, not processing power.

So even a supercomputer isn't doing anything special there.

From what I can tell it's a description of the taste. So a beer can be dry or not-dry or whatever.

The kakapo. It's so dumb, it's forgotten that it's forgotten how to fly.

This leads to it running up a tree to escape a predator, taking flight, and landing in a graceless heap on the ground.

It's sort of hard to drink dried alcohol.

Doesn't it just evaporate, anyway? How can you have a 'dry' beverage?

Nope. Nerve damage is always permanent, forever.

I removed the [HAS_NERVES] tags from dwarves. Guess why.

We just get the question a lot, so some people react negatively. Those people are awful, socially inept human beings.

I don't even see how I was being a jerk. :v

My first for of the evening sorta went awkward when skeletal alligators turned up and started shaking everything to pieces.

My current fort is supposed to be flat, but there's a minor river running with a natural dam blocking it from flooding a small indentation. Homemade lake time!

My latest adventurer had just beaten a bandit warlord, after crippling a few of their followers.

I get ambushed by one of the people I cut a hand off. She's a maceman who's only holding a shield.

We strike, parry each other's hits a lot, and then the first hit that goes through is a fatal kick to the head. Guess who was on the recieving end.

Bullshit.
