Bay 12 Games Forum

Mostly just tossing this up here out of curiosity to see what other B-12ers think.

I don't have a hugely extensive dating history myself. I'm 23, I've had four relationships I'd consider serious (i.e. not flings/sex-for-fun arrangements). The only one of those relationships I was head-over-heels about was the first, in which case I was the one who was broken up with. In the other three I did the breaking.

Both cases suck, obviously, but if you want to maintain any sort of dating life you might as well expect to encounter one or both sooner or later.

I just recently ended my last relationship, and have been reminded just how much I hate breaking up with girls. It's much easier to be broken up with; that way you can deal with your own anguish/anger/emotions more honestly. If you're breaking up with someone, though (especially as a guy), if you still care for the other person on a non-romantic level, it's pretty much necessary to play the 'heavy' in spite of how you might actually be feeling to spare them as much of The Suck as possible. And trust me, this isn't fun. I'd much rather deal with feelings of anger and sadness than deal with guilt.

Of course, I'm sure I've probably got a lot of more of this shit to look forward to in the coming years. Yay.  But talking about these kind of thing sometimes helps, and it's always interesting to hear the opinions of others.

Yeah, I'd assume reveal was used to locate the pit in this instance. Demons normally spawn very quickly after the pit is breached.

If this works, you MUST tell us, Albedo.

I am already itching to try constructing a dwarf city suspended on a giant ice pillar above the ocean.

Hell, for that matter, it would be pretty rad to construct the whole city out of ice in a freezing biome...

Ah, URW. I wasted a LOT of time on this game.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have nearly as much replay value as DF.

Bah, I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

I give 'em weapons/armor from the get-go. I prefer the 'let God sort 'em out' approach. I've never had a highly skilled dwarf die from sparring injuries (just wimpy newbies).

When you get 200+ dwarves in a fort and 60+ of them are military, you don't really mind the casualties so much.

Huh. Proven wrong, but in a good way. More outlandish construction = good for all dwarfkind.

Another vote to get rid of the toes. They look... not right.

As for structural integrity, everything but the pickaxe will work. The pickaxe has a segment where the bottom of one wall does not connect to the top of the others - it's the divide between the two middle-most sections of blue blocks. Everything below the divide will fall down if you try to make it that way.

Brilliant. I am still watching this thread faithfully for updates. It seems Stug is finding a niche in dwarven society after all. He may have to attempt another journal entry soon.

I'm curious to see just what Broose has up his sleeve. Whatever the case, it seems that poor Jora and Datan are going to have to find out the hard way...
