Bay 12 Games Forum

...I have found a forum without too much trolling and with loads of helpful people

Aye. This is one of the best gaming forums out there.  You get an occasional trolling attempt now and then, but it gets squashed pretty quickly.

Back on topic, because of Dwarf Fortress, I sometimes think like this:

Nyxalinth has been fine lately. She has to work a job she dislikes tomorrow.  She had a fight with her partner recently. She was comforted by a pet.  She drank a coke Zero recently...'

I was recently reading a zombie novel, and one of the characters (an Army Sgt.) flashed back to a death he had seen.  the author described the dead man as being on fire, and his intestines were on fire, too.  I thought, "No, silly author! It should be '!!Man!!' and '!!Guts!!'

Aside form that, tim Curran's Resurrection is an artifact level zombie novel in my opinion.  It's encircled with bands of great characterization and menaces with spikes of gruesome.

I'm up to 34 children in this current fort, I'm so busy trying to give them all jobs to do, I set up one industry and another migrant wave arives and I need to make another... when the fort is quiet I get about seventy idlers, but when there are a fair few hauling jobs and such, it goes down to twenty... it was kinda cute the first few times "Awww, a baby girl!" but after a while it's just... meh.

And when they all come of age, well... peasants! Yay!

me, it's like this:

(Game pauses and zooms)
Me: Yay, another mood!


Game: Urist McBreeder has given birth to a girl
Me: Damn, another kid.

I never have enough patience for this sort of thing; it's gorgeous! Is it version specific?

Bob

Ninja'ed!  seriously, bob was my first thought, though I have often thought Urist McDwarf to be the Dorf version of John Q Public or Joe Blow.

How can a lungfish look offended? I have a very cartoony anthropomorphized image in my head now.

I imagine it as something like this:

Are they Forbidden?

the only two weapons Largebusts ever created were a brass spear and some worthless bow dwarves don't use.

the rest has been artsy-fartsy stuff and clothes.  Oh, and a chair.
