Suggestion: Any way we can have the header text rotated 315 degrees? There's plenty of space with the large empty square above the names, and it would definitely improve readability. Example from Excel (but rotated 45 degrees in the picture instead of 315 which would fit better in Therapist):

Yeah but I agree it was nice to see the flashing back and forth thing so you didn't have to go and view each hauler individually

As an AMAB individual, Transmasc people give me gender envy. Not sure what to do with this information.

Gender is fuckin' weird and complicated. Experimenting with it is usually pretty fun tho

Yes, but we don't have any hard numbers. And of course income taxes and such, so my estimate is probably not more than around the $1 million mark. Still, that's in just one day, and they did say "more than" 160,000 units. That number was specified because it was Kitfox's estimate of two months of sales! It's been blown out of the water by a long shot, for sure. I hope we get some official sales numbers at some point, they deserve to brag a little.

This is just so wonderful to see. I'm fairly certain the first day's sales already got Tarn and Zach over a million dollars after Steam's and Kitfox's cuts (based on the tweet about surpassing 160,000 units in under 24 hours), and the fact that it's still so high on the list bodes very well for their financial situation going forward. I really hope it relieves a lot of the anxiety and uncertainty they've been facing recently, it's very much deserved.

How does multi-room designation work BTW?

When you open up the menu to designate bedrooms, click the "Multi" button. it's grayed out, but that means the mode isn't active (it opens into single designation), not that it's unavailable. You can then place the designation overlapping a whole bunch of rooms and it will automatically break them up by the existing walls, making each one it's own bedroom!

There's plenty of folks on my friends list that I'm sure have bought the game because they compulsively buy every big game that comes out, and I'm intrigued to see what they make of it.

The number of friends I have that are either vaguely aware of DF or played it years and years ago and loved it but dropped it 'cause of the graphics and UI, but were unaware that it released on steam, is so high. Letting them know that it's both on Steam and way more playable than in the past is what I consider my civic duty at this point.

Less than a week until my endo appointment.

Given this, I'm pretty sure I've got a solid idea on what to expect from anti-androgens and hormones, but does anyone have any advice or anything that they think I might have missed? Just want to be prepared for it.

Depending on your location expect either great or terrible experiences going forward with healthcare. Probably already expected. Have you ever heard of trans broken arm syndrome?

Depending on the anti-androgen you take (I'm thinking of spironolactone), you will begin to pee all the goddam time and it's so freaking annoying, especially when combined with general public restroom anxiety.

You will begin to study the mirror religiously while you await physical changes, and grow impatient while it appears that nothing is happening. Then suddenly it will feel like everything is changing all at once and it gets very exciting! And then years down the line you'll look at yourself now and at yourself when you thought you were experiencing a bunch of good changes and think "holy crap I thought that was great but I look so different now!"

Basically, what I'm saying is you will be impatient and it sucks, but it takes a lot of time for hormones to really kick in.


And unrelated, it was my birthday today and my wife took me to get some banana pudding 'cause it's my favorite even tho she hates bananas and I just 🥰🥰🥰 I am so gay for this woman.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: DF v0.47.01+ Worldgen Cookbook Thread
« on: December 08, 2022, 05:03:33 am »
I know we don't have a thread for the 50.01 (Steam version) worldgen yet, but here's a seed I found with a 12-tile-wide river with a 6-tile-wide tributary, a waterfall where they meet, and a surface volcano! Of course doesn't work on 47.05

The Waterfall

The Volcano

Location on the zoomed-out world map (southeast corner shown)

Location when zoomed in
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Resources (names and neighbors will differ, I used a random civ seed and I don't know how to extract it from a save in the Steam version)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's not a particularly impressive waterfall, just 5 z-levels high. But it's plenty to get you started!

Because Civilizations are still random, you may have someone settled on this location already, preventing you from embarking there. I had to regen twice before it was free for me to embark there.

I don't know that they're ever going to go away entirely, but yes I think the game is certainly playable now without Dwarf Therapist. I never really used Legends Viewer myself, but that was mostly because Legends Mode in-game was so bad. Now, it's super easy to use.

So far every change I've noticed has been for the better, in a very good way.

I was (...) going to leave it a while before I decided to go for Steam (unlikely, bad historic experiences with them) or Itch (no experience at all, and not even a failed account with them).

With your bad Steam experiences, I definitely recommend going the Itch.io route. You also get a Steam key, but the primary benefit is that you get a DLC-free version (just a .zip file, packaged just like we're used to for the free releases), AND Toady and Zach get a higher percentage cut. I think it's something like 10% cut for itch.io vs 30% cut for Steam on Steam direct purchases, even tho the itch.io version also comes with a Steam key.
