I did not have good experience with hybrid disks. On paper, it should be great, but it does not work that well. The problem is that Windows 7 has Prefetch that guesses up what are you going to launch (by memorizing your habits), and loads that into memory in advance, so that the OS feels faster and more responsive. Couple of Prefetch misses, and your cache will be full of app data you never used. Try for yourself, however.

It starts with a faint noise, then a rumble, like a coming storm or a thousand-horses strong Tatar army. And then it's here - a new release, a monstrous thing of maddening complexity with its inevitable share of entropy manifestation - bugs, glitches, and crashes.

Reading the dev blog, I fear it will be massive this time.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

Sigged!!! You, sir, have made my day. Along with Pinochio and Inspector Clouseau, your place is in a pedestal.

Edit - haha, what a marvelous typo. Let me specify - in an obsidian pedestal.

Magma solves (and dissolves) everything.

Pffft!... What do I see here? GRAPHICS? Bah, this has nothing to do with Dwarf Fortress.

But what if someone goes all davinci code on everyone?

Please, don't mention that horrible, clumsy attempt on a pseudo-historical novel here. Even a passing reference makes my hair stand, and that feels really creepy since I am bald.

No to the topic of Toady's death... I gave it a thorough consideration, and I believe there is only one solution. Yep, and it is - ascention to Godhood. Plain and simple. Failing to achieve that, lesser status like Chinese Immortals would be sufficient:

Apparently, after passing certain trials, it can be done. The bad news is that their number is fixed to 8, but some of them may have... and accident one day? Perhaps one involving magma, or a dehydrated leg caused by a vicious bee sting?

Once Immortal, the thousands years long path to the 1.0 version won't be disturbed by mundane earthly woes like age, diseases, love, wars, end of the world due to fossil fuel depletion and following economic collapse, etc.

Thank you, that worked flawlessly.

EDIT - or not. When I added the MOD and compiled the whole package, I noticed that the two extra gameplay options D and E (nightmare mode and the prolonged mode, I think) vanished, only A, B, C is possible.

On the already compiled windows version, all options are still present.

I listen to Bob Marley or other reggae music. If I had some, I would smoke pot ;-)
