So, I'm playing Ikit on Mortal Empires, and I was ending my turn, and I noticed that Varg's turn is taking quite long

Like, longer than Lothern.
Lothern's united all of Ulthuan

I... I'm scared...
If you pay attention, you can hear in the distance: "Asinine Mortal!"

Didn't seem hostile for me. Anyway, it seems based on your descriptions that you are missing [USE_BODY_COMPONENT], since the wiki outright says the worker will grab whatever instead of a corpse or corpsepart. So try that out and tell us if it is indeed the case?

The thing with socialism is the way is promoted. What if I tell you this revolver is a really good hair drier. People keep dying form using it but it's their fault because the don't know how to use it, or hasn't been implemented the right way. The fact people claim it's a hair dryer is moot, its a fucking revolver.
I would like to remind you that we got the same shit in Brazil from people who said they were saving us from socialism. Don't let yourself be fooled Baal, bad men will perform bad deeds under any banner.

Maybe. Where's the lie though? Literally name a single socialist country you would want to move to. I can't. Frankly it's amazing that anyone falls for this schlock in the modern era, let alone defends its historical record. "Free shit" is a pretty tempting promise I guess.
There may not be good socialist countries NOW, but there certainly were. Allende's Chile was pretty damn great up until General Pinochet rolled in and murdered and tortured everyone he could.

Socialism, however, ain't about "free shit", as you put it. It's about, and only about, the means of production being owned by those who work it, and often coupled with state oversight of private enterprise. Unfortunately, periods of political transition are a prime time for power-hungry assholes to seize power and corrupt the new system, whatever said new system might be.

And even if you think the above is a bad thing, which you have the right to, Magistrum certainly wasn't defending socialism as much as they were pointing out that there's going to be despots in any sort of ideological system and blaming the ideology for them is missing the point.

Alright, so. Having some issues with a particular thing. Specifically, I'd like to be able to incinerate dead bodies, and the body parts of enemies and such. I know the latter is doable - Meph's crematorium does it, even if it incinerates useful products as well (skulls, hooves, that sort of thing.) I can live with that.

Between me and ZM, we're either getting the worker burning nothing, or burning whatever random crap happens to be available. Now, I'd prefer not having to do some super intrusive measure (I figure the first thing someone will suggest is adding reaction classes or something to x  material or y creatures,) to make it so sapiant corpses and bits can be disposed of with something other than magma and bridges, because I personally take the slow approach to the game and don't want to have haulers hauling around dead people and traumatizing themselves (and using autodump destroy is hideously tedious, especially with edge-weapon heavy militias.) I'd like to be able to just plonk down a trash burner and have someone with mental fortitude take care of it on location.

Any help whatsoever would be appreciated. I know the reaction is functional itself, because it'll take whatever is being arbitrarily used as an input and outputs the ash as intended. I just need to make it work in the intended manner and only have them take body parts and corpses.
Are you using [USE_BODY_COMPONENT] besides your components?

To quote the wiki
Quote
Reagent must be a body part (CORPSE or CORPSEPIECE). Must be used even if your reagent item type is CORPSE or CORPSEPIECE, otherwise it will match any item.

Are you actually managing to target sapient creature parts, though? Because IIRC the bug that causes anything from a sapient to be unusable is still around will probably still be a problem for you.

DF Modding / Re: What's going on in your modding?

I just got the inspiration (and motivation) I needed to reboot my Warhammer Fantasy mod. Which is very nice.

This time though, instead of just jumping straight to editing the raws, I'm going to write an extensive design document beforehand. Also, instead of going for an "all or nothing" approach when it comes to playable fort mode races, I'll focus on a select few (while having others still around to interact with) and make them as unique from each other as I can.

Damn it feels good to be motivated again after weeks of crushing anxiety.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Basically all that would change is well get drones in the sky. The rest of what you described is already going on.
Maduro is a cretin Baal, but there's no Death Squads or torturing of random folks because "subversives!". As someone ruled by a fascist fuck who defend the act of torture, you don't want that.

Not saying you should accept Maduro staying but:
1) Never say yes to fascism
2) Just because Maruro calls himself a socialist doesn't mean he is one

From what I heard, you always start as a Thinblood and then can get adopted into a clan later, hence the whole focus on Thinbloods.

SQman, you should make some sort of list, either here or in the files, detailing what are the included animals and where to find them. Would eliminate a lot of the guesswork for users.

Aside from that, great work.

So, Firefox is being a little shit today, declaring that uBlock Origin (an ad blocker) and NoScript are "unsupported", disabling them entirely.
Alright, I'll go and reinstall those addons...

FUCK. Ok, maybe I can open the download link in a new tab, maybe that might get me somewhere.

The fuck? addons.mozilla.org is in the whitelist of addon installation! What does it want now?! WHERE'S THE 'INSTALL ANYWAY' BUTTON!?
EDIT: Seems to be an ongoing issue. Here's the Bugzilla report for this issue, "All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert"
This is happening to me too, so something must be going on.

Damn, you have expensive coffe. US$1 is roughly R$4 right now, and I can get a large cup for that, or a smaller one for less.

Here it is:

"They pretend to buy us" would be the literal translation.
I think it's "They intend to buy us", rather than pretend.

I haven't figured out yet if the guy you linked is pro- or anti- Maduro, but I partially agree with his assessment on Maduro's own reaction. I say partially because I see it less as a scared glare and more as sudden suspicion as to the intentions of the minister.

His eyes don't go wide in surprise so much as they narrow. It's hard to see the actual eyes in the video, I'm mostly going with the eyebrows.

Died to the very final boss of the game. Next time I'm using the Assault Rifle, I'll pass on the final upgrade because it's bad. Turns a very nice, accurate, ammo-efficient and powerful burst rifle into a slow, innacurate, ammo-wasting minigun.

STRAFE

Who is this?
He's the big honcho of Gearbox (of Borderlands fame) and is a thorough cretin. Also he lost a pendrive that had game design documents AND barely-legal pornography in it, which should say something about his moral character.

What about all those angry Vikings?
Okay so here's the thing: The vikings didn't really have that much of an impact. But we hear a lot about them, right? Why is that?

Well, it's probably because they raided... England and northern France. Y'know, the two regions that pump out a lot of historiographical material when it comes to the period (Iberian peninsula also has a lot of stuff going on, recorded even, and is pretty cool, but gets snobbed because they're Europoor). So it gets blown out of proportion a bit. The vikings didn't have that much of an impact outside the shores of northern Europe, plus southern Italy + Sicily with the Normans. It's a lot about perception.

Remember, my friends, always of Aliens: Colonial Marines and how he reacted then.
