Yeah, there's no need for it to get TSK'ed until somebody's actually, you know, going to take it.

The same way you do in Adventure mode: with dozens of keybindings.

It's only realism. Try milling around a while before going all psycho that he's gone.
Think about it, in reality, shops (that is, ones that are run by ONE PERSON, not these big chain stores) have to be closed a lot because the owner has to eat or sleep. The same applies to DF.

What do you expect? It's LEGO. They do everything, from anteaters to zebras.
Even Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

...The hell? Looking at some of my older posts, the old signature is still there..
But as you can plainly see, I removed it...
What's going on here?
(Show signature checkbox is checked for this post incidentally. Signature was actually removed, not just disabled.)

You know you guys could've realized that I haven't even been here to see any of this particular thread...
Also there's the fact that the forums say nothing about any PMs for me unless I go to the My Profile page which doesn't really help considering I rarely go there...
EDIT: The forum coding is really wonky in places, namely signatures and the text that appears by the username.
For instance, allowing code tags in the signature just allows for what you see here without any real benefit.
And the length of the text by the username can cause major broken forums depending on resolution.

Hopefully we can at least find a masonry shop, make a door, then anything within a cave we dug out and closed off with a door will stay there... Kinda like a hideout. Perhaps even BUILD said masonry shop...

Hell yes. Once that arc's in, I'm never going back to fortress mode. Adventurer-made fortresses sound just that much more epic.

DF General Discussion / Dwarfs Vs Dwarves?
« on: May 21, 2008, 04:04:00 pm »
Okay, so we all know there have been debates on the subject here before.
Which is proper, Dwarfs or Dwarves?
Now, Firefox recognizes Dwarfs but not Dwarves.
Realize the only reason it recognizes Dwarfs is because of astronomy (who's ever heard of White Dwarfs?) and not that it's the proper term for this case.
I'll concede that the word Dwarves was coined by Tolkien at first. But did he copyright it or anything? No. Dwarves have been used in many different stories and games.
In every case I've seen, they've been called Dwarves.
Even here:
[NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]
Does this not mean Dwarves is the proper way?
Comments/questions/proving me wrong fully welcome.

27-year-olds would have grown up when it was appropriate to have proper grammar/spelling when you were writing.
Typing still counts as writing.
Therefore, I must call "lies and slander" on that age.
I'm 28. It's not like there's going to be that big a difference in one year.

Dual core? There's your problem right there. DF is not optimized to use two cores efficiently, if at at all.
Plus there's the highly probable case that while it's dual core, it's not all that fast.. RAM isn't the only important number we need, you know!
My computer's not the fastest in the world..
3 GHz combined over 2 cores and a gig of RAM... but I manage a workable 30 FPS even with 150-ish Dwarfs and 20 animals or more (Damn immigrants won't let you take away their pets...) Mind this is with default, that is, everything enabled. Temperature, weather, invaders...
Sieges do cause a bit of a slowdown to around 15 FPS for a time.. Not that it's unplayable in that state, just a little skippy when scrolling across the map.

I've never even HEARD of that graphics card before. It's pretty safe to say that that's the bottleneck of your system there.
