HAhahahahaha!

Polluting industries aren't gonna limit themselves. That cuts into profit margins. It almost seems like Ron Paul supporters are living in a fairy land.

The argument is that without federal management, federal protections go out the window too. If an industry's pollution causes a problem then they can have their asses sued off. So, you have a market incentive to control pollution- or at least conceal it or find some other way to cover their own asses from the threat of litigation.
Aside from something overt like an oil spill, how are you going to prove that pollution causes any problems? I don't know if you've noticed, but we still have people denying global warming in the States. At least one of the candidates (Santorum) is one of them.

Don't build a depot? Merchants might show up, but they can't trade without one.

That's actually a nifty idea. It's like a tombstone.

I've got 29 tabs open, and NONE OF THEM are TV-Tropes or Cracked :P

I changed my mind from (much) earlier in the thread. Now I want gravimancy; the power to control gravity. By controlling my own gravity, I could walk on walls, hang out on the ceiling, or even fly. If people were to attack me, cue powerful gravity fields that pin them to the ground or any nearby surface (or send them hurtling into the air). With enough power and finesse, I could even move objects faster than light.

Yeah, I turned that spell off. I'd rather conserve MP if I'm heading towards a dungeon, and it's more personally satisfying to just sword-plant weaker enemies.

Yeah, I guess that's true. And it is pretty epic how the music changes depending on your and your enemies' relative strengths, from epic battle music when you're slightly outmatched to what I dub "curb-stomp music".

I skipped the post-prologue bonus quest because I did as much as I could during the demo. Now I can't seem to access it again  :-\

Is there a method of fast travel in this game? It's more of a hassle than anything else to run home from school, now that even Sana can one-shot most enemies on that route without use of magic. And mothbees always have rage potential if you end up being put to sleep.

Dog isn't feeling so good today, has thrown up a few times and was walking funny. He went to the vet, and mom confided in me that there's a chance he will have to be put down.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Thoughts on farming
« on: February 11, 2012, 07:19:29 pm »
Dunno how others do it, but I typically have every dwarf available for harvesting, and two or three farmers of any skill for the planting. Any more than that and they start getting assigned to squads.

As to what to grow, I have a single 4x4 plot growing plump helmets all year long as an emergency food producer (and of course, for brewing). I then have other plots of whatever size I feel like growing different crops. Mostly quarry bushes, as those are easy enough to grow and make great filler for prepared meals.

I'm on Windows 7, and aside from having to turn most of the graphics down I don't have any problems.

You decide to eat rabbit food. You're not sure why, but now your mind is made up.

I wish that I was a master programmer.

Granted. The shapechanging is involuntary, and 99.99999% of your possible forms are not invincible or immortal.
