I really enjoyed your writing and style, del! Thanks for making these for us!well, that’s less awful than I had thought, at least
On a sidenote, what, in the name of Armok’s hairy legs, is a fleshball?
the poetry is tainted with the racism you'd expect from a goblinthis is just perfect; I’d sig it if I had any more space
What I don't think would be a good idea is any sort of walrasian modeling of fortress mode. To put it simply, that's kind of the game, isn't it? To me fortress mode has always been throwing down the gauntlet to all those who claim that the 'benevolent dictator' is a reasonable way to run a society. It's clearly not, and DF makes this case in spades.That’s so true, isn’t it? The way the player walls in the vampire so he can become their never-sleeping manager or walls out the last two dwarves to die by goblin because they’ll get there too late and they’re too slow and they’re nothing more than useless Legendary Stonecrafters anyway or walls in the three people who got bitten by the werelizard, gives them no food and water because they’ll regenerate every month anyway, and then releases them on the invading goblins to die when the time is right, for the good of the Mountainhomes and the Crying Melons, just destroys the idea of a benevolent dictator. It would be even worse if the player was physically a dwarf who could die, because they’d do anything at all to save themselves.
I heard before about insanity treatment, so called "Amontillado method", but when I asked Recon about Amontillado she answered that we don't brew that stuff here. Sadly, you can't have everything in one fortress.I know I’m late, but this is absolutely brilliant.
For some reason I misread that, and saw ‘so that’s where that cat came from’ and I was, quite justifiably, fairly horrified....so that’s where that came from...i don't know what this is a reference to and i'm not sure i want to know.Dwarves can have a preference for hickory smoked horse buttholes.They also get terribly upset if they catch you trying to substitute hickory smoked cow buttholes.
An old youtube poop called doctor tran. Its funny, while.youre ten years old.
One of the kids in my middle school class brought it up, but also mentioned the additional "hickory smoked bear vaginas" which im convinced he made up.
Welcome.They do it with such abandon, don’t they?
Warm Canyons is well constructed, and seems like it would have efficient pathing for everyday commutes. I like the open air room that extends down about 6 or 7 z levels. And the curvature of the entrance tunnel is pleasant to look at.
The deaths due to the occasional splash of aquifer dribble hardly surprise me, as it doesn't take much for a dwarf to casually fling themselves off of even the slightest waterfalls.
I mean, what’d you expect? Smallhands, after all.we have a new generation of cat's!
The story has taken an unexpectedly cute turn
Well, a non-messy fortress would be non-dwarfy, isn't it?Ha, darn right. Your English is just fine, by the way; I’m learning German, and wish I could speak it half so well; please do take a turn!
Life imitates artand well does ‘the first resident was identified as a man in his 20s who had been homeless for several years, and who has been staying in local shelters and living on the streets’ accurately describe the average dwarf at Smallhands
61 citizens? Looks like someone will have to put the small back into smallhands...Mornings for the morning god!
Got all my preferences reset (custom keybinds and whatnot) - and spent a while taking stock of the fort once more. Should update within a couple days. The baby has decided that mornings are no longer for me - but instead, for her.
