Life Advice / Need some help choosing something.
« on: September 14, 2011, 10:22:20 pm »
 I plan to cook more often so I figured I would get an apron. I like all three of these and can't decide which to get...

Delicious Apron

Unicorn Apron

Science Apron

 So yeah, I'll be getting the one with the most votes.

Life Advice / Cryptography and Steganography.
« on: August 20, 2011, 07:03:39 pm »
 I'm interested in learning about these subjects and I was wondering if anyone could recommend to me any good books on them. I would also appreciate any advice or other resources on the subjects.

Life Advice / Social anxiety
« on: July 16, 2011, 06:54:02 am »
 So yeah, I've a phobia of interacting with other people. Its far from pleasant living in a world full of something you absolutely fear... So, I figure it is time I try to put an end to that. I was wondering if anyone here who has or had this problem could give me any advice to make it easier to deal with or overcome it?

 At this point I can't even drive to a store down the street and do some shopping without being mentally exhausted for the rest of the day. I've forced myself to post here often enough that I'm mostly used to it but sometimes I still panic while posting something. Its kinda sad that this is bad enough that it even effects me online. My family doesn't seem to really comprehend that I just can't "man up" and have this go away. If it worked like that I would have been free from this a long time ago. Bleh, I'm starting to whine so I'll just end this here. I'm starting to have second thoughts on even posting this anyways.

Life Advice / Sharpening one's mind
« on: June 14, 2011, 04:34:15 pm »
 My mind has, unfortunatly, deteriorated over the course of my near decade long depression. Now that I seem to be shaking that off I believe it is time for me regain my knowledge and intellectual abilities.

 I was wondering if anyone here would happen to know of anything that would aid me in this task. Things such as mental exercises, foods, supplements, advice, ect. The two main problems I will have to deal with will be my horrible memory and focus. Even before my depression these things held me back, so any advice on dealing with these would be greatly appreciated. I should mention that I don't think stimulants would be a good idea for me. Things like Caffiene have no effect on me, while things like Adderall seems to cause tics. Still open to suggestions on this though. No reason not to take everything into consideration.

 I'm going to try my hardest to become the best scientist I can be. There was only ever one path to happiness for me anyways. I'm going to aquire all the knowledge, all of it. :D

DF Gameplay Questions / Trouble getting bones

I can't seem to figure out how to turn my stockpile full of skeletal bits into bones. If someone could walk me through the process I would be very grateful.

DF Gameplay Questions / Question about Dwarven Liaison
« on: April 24, 2010, 10:57:36 pm »
Should have asked this in my other topic but completely forgot about it. I had my liaison got stark raving mad after he was forced  to stay in my fort for a lil while longer then normal. Somehow he made it off the map... So my question is, will this screw up the future of my relations with my civ? Hopefully is is not as nutty when he comes back.

 I don't remember them going insane just from spending an extra month or two in my fort in the last version. My memory isn't to good though...

DF Gameplay Questions / One legged Dwarf wont use a crutch
« on: April 24, 2010, 10:27:15 pm »
My hammer dwarf decided to spar with my axe dwarf... didn't end well. Now my hammer dwarf is down a leg and wont get out of bed, lazy bastard. I have crutches in my hospital zone (same one he is in) but he just keeps resting. I think I may give him the honor of being my first handi-captain of the guard if I can't get him hopping around soon.

DF Gameplay Questions / Dungeon Master
« on: April 16, 2010, 10:39:32 pm »
What are the arrival conditions for the Dungeon Master? I have some Gorillas and Elephants to train for the greatest show on the Infinite Planes. I'm sure the Goblins will get a kick out of it, well at least from the Elephants.

DF Gameplay Questions / Can't Fish up any turtles
« on: April 14, 2010, 01:40:16 pm »
 I've tried Fishing in the local lake and murky pools and even tried fishing underground in the first cavern. I can't seem to get any and I need one to save a Military Dwarf thats been taken by a fey mood. I was wondering if this is a bug or if I'm missing something.

 Dunno if this matters but I'll give a description of the local habitat. I'm pretty sure I'm in a warm area since I have a wet season and a dry season. My fort consists of a untamed mountain range, haunted jungle (no critters spawn from here for some reason), and a terrifying lake called The Ungodly Lake (same issue as jungle). During the dry season every murky pool drys up completely.

 I'm going to see if I can find any turtles under the mountain range, maybe they can't be found in evil areas.

DF Gameplay Questions / A few questions
« on: April 12, 2010, 08:37:06 pm »
 Do the
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
refill?

 Also, I bought some Giant Cave Spider Venom and was wondering if there was any use for it yet. I'm hoping I can dip my bolts in it or weaponize it somehow. If its useless is there anyway I can remove it from the barrel?

 I also need to know how to get the drawves  to clean themselves using the indoor pool I set up. Its right next to the Hospital so I marked one big zone that includes those two and my well (also right next to the Hospital) and turned on water source and hospital. Lost my progress due to a power failure so I didn't have much time to figure out why they wouldn't use it. I may come back with something to add or more specific once I get the hospital and aqueducts back to where they were.

 I noticed that the pets were trying to clean themselves with soap but would spam cancellations shortly after picking it up. Its getting old pretty quick, what should I do?

 I think I read that Surgery is badly bugged at the moment and wont finish the operation, is there any work around for that?

DF Gameplay Questions / Embark size
« on: December 20, 2009, 12:08:02 am »
I recently found a ideal spot for me to set up a fortress but the site is 8x8, I normally play on the default and get some slowdown after my fort fully matures. I want to know if  embarking at 8x8 would change some slowdown to massive slowdown. The site has every feature (minus a river which I'm tempted to expand a lil to get) and I'm runing a combo of Relentless Assault/Dig Deeper. The mods might make things slow down more then normal for all I know.
