They were retouched a bit by the library of congress.

Thanks for the link (I suppose I should have done more exploring). That's pretty cool.
I have a dabbling interest in photo restoration and wanted to see what they were working with.

It's always cool to see these inventions scattered throughout history that were years ahead of their time, too.

I'm actually really impressed at the quality of them. Have these gone through any enhancements or restorations? Or are they straight projections from the originals?
Either way, they're pretty awesome.

given a poor scottish accent, as a scot myself i would describe it as a North American approximation of a scottish accent.

I prefer to think of it as a dwarven accent. Scotland doesn't exist on Azeroth.

If anything this will be reverse advertisement since anybody that does a google search for "dwarf fortress" will get more hits about this quest in WoW then anything referencing DF.
I'm pretty sure this won't be the case. The first hit is for this site, and then after that for the wiki, then wikipedia article, then tvtropes article, etc. If any WoW quest help thing wanted to get up there, they will have to get popular REALLY fast.

I wouldn't be so certain it won't happen. Just look at what comes up when you google "insane in the membrane".

Dwarves can have pointy ears. I'm almost certain this was recently discussed.

I drew another Demon.

this time I went for a more bulky and brutish frame, but I maintained the lack of a visible face. I also tried to make his armour as nasty and spikey as possible.

Wow, that thing looks like it could employ a devastating hug attack.

To be fair here, this assumes that considering homosexuality emasculating is in itself predetermined by biology, which is almost certainly not sure.

Perhaps emasculating wasn't the right word. I mean that anything that calls in to question a man's ability to attract mates and reproduce is perceived as pretty insulting.

I agree with a lot of that, but I'll dispute this now. I don't think there's a drive to perpetuate the species anymore, I think the drive is to just get that pleasant feeling as much as possible. I mean, if the associated pleasure was gone, would people still be as crazy to have sex all the time? As this is on topic of homosexuality, I'd assume there's little to no drive to continue the species through this, unless it somehow attracts an opposite gender mate in the process?

The pleasure IS the drive. If your brain never rewarded you for performing certain activities, you'd never do them.

As to why people are homophobic, I assume it's possibly biological. Our strong subconscious desire to be the kind of guy that attracts mates can lead us to distance ourselves from anything perceived to be emasculating, including being assumed to be gay (like if a man hits on you) or being associated with gay friends. It's important to note that just because something is a biological or natural response, doesn't mean it's good; those same tendencies can also drive people to cheat or even rape.

Personally, I think it's pretty sad that some people would deny homosexuals equal rights, and even punish them.


Sorry if any of that seemed incoherent. It's 5:00 AM, and I'm very tired.

Someone draw a dwarven quote pyramid.


This is pretty close.
