Will you join the pack once you recover?
Please?

((Good grief, man. Bit early for end-game type stuff, don'tcha think?))

Earth was conquered by demons a few turns ago.

Technically, it was conquered by demons when you tried to get the childhood self-image of Tokugawa to defeat the demons or something like that.

Type 'Long-khajiit' on the laptop. For the Lulz.

((Dammit, I was kind of hoping I'd flub that typing. Just to see what happens.))

[3] A long-jacket appears on Mars, because that's the best typo I could think of.

Get my faithful pianist companion to try converting some Xenomorphs to Reformed Celloism then lead them on a holy war against the heretic Xenomorhps.

[1] Batxenomorph has joined the last cybermorph against you!

REBUILD HUMAN OUTPOSTS WHILE DRIVING BACK THE DEMONIC ARMIES.

[2] The rubble gets shifted around, [5] but you single-handedly decimate the demonic armies. By which I mean, 10% are now dead. Speaking of dead, you seem to have already been that, so...Respawn?

Create interdimensional portal!

[2] Nope.

Spawn in next habitable domed city on Mars.

[1] You spawn on Io. Oops. Respawn?
Wow, that's probably the fastest death yet...

GM Turn:
Batxenomorph hands some gadgets to the cybermorph. The latter [4,4] incorporates some Xenorangs into his system.
The medic heals a random person...Serious Business, let's say. [1] He explodes in gore. Respawn?
Zombie Chell uses her theremin to summon some other instrument players to form a band. [1] She summons a Superbronzecolossus who plays the tuba. Uh-oh...
The khajit army opens fire on SBC. [5] The fluffy-wambler-like marshmallows turn out to be its Kryptonite, leading to the shortest and most embarrassing supervillain defeat in history.

Side nite: The characters list now includes a spoiler for notable items! Check it early, check it often!

You may get your wish Greatwyrm, I was originally planning to have the wedding there, well, until Misko went crazy(er)

Neat...
I'll prep the turret choir.

I barely understand what vector-based graphics are, but I'd bet Urists to unicorns that it's easier to modify images like the current graphics use than vector-based graphics, which would solve a rare and specific problem and cause other issues...not to mention that any kind of graphics would be pretty darn hard to mod with vectors...

It would mean nothing to modders, since graphics can be vectorized pretty easily.

Besides that, it's not exactly a rare problem. Zooming looks like shit as of now.

I have no idea how to make a vectorized, say, dwarf picture or &. Obviously, others probably have the same problem.
And I can honestly say that zooming has never bugged me.

you could have different phenotypes associated with different chromosomes. i.e hair color and skin color on one while size on another.
once you define the traits that would have alleles associated with them you could define the number of chromosomes. say i defined 30 traits to have different alleles  and 5 pairs chromosomes each chromosome would  control 6 traits with the 1st chromosome taking control of the first 6 traits defined the 2nd chromosome taking control of the 2nd 6 traits. all that is left is some sort of mutation system but i think that would be largely  pointless instead maby you could simulate some form of chromosome crossover.

I think it would be simpler to code and mod, and be practically identical if Toady just didn't code in chromosomes.

Presumably, the second would come along with a tavern or restaurant or something which is the same thing, but with food.
