Bay 12 Games Forum

To be fair, they are somewhat different games. Plenty of people can handle Dwarf Fortress just fine but struggle with games that require good reflexes and predictions of movement.

I'm curious on how ice sheet starts are even possible, nowadays.  A guide I read for them was somewhat out of date and patches have apparently made it not work the same. The game ended when a particularly long period without wind made my pawn freeze to death.

can't understand why the floor is always dirty even though i swept it yesterday goddamnit

That's a problem that top scientists, philosophers, and theologians have struggled with for centuries.

Mordecai staggered as he leaned over to pick up the shield, nearly falling over. He'd never used the ancient gamble technique before; the shock to his body was greater than he had expected.

: "Urgh. Going to have to be careful with that moving forward..."

: "Well done, Reeve! Now allow me to finish it off for you."

Mordecai approached the smoldering behemoth as he casually stowed his current tome and picked out a new one instead. His earlier nervousness had vanished; in its place was only a calm sort of fury directed towards these creatures. These monsters that apparently existed only to destroy innocent lives, whether on their own initiative or on someone else's. He was no longer afraid of them.

Which was all well and good, but it didn't mean he could take such things lightly. This giant tortoise Fiend was still a major threat, and Mordecai intended to swiftly and surely put it down for good. There was a special technique that certain dark mages could learn, one that would draw on his body's stamina to fuel greater magical might, which seemed perfect for this situation. He'd be slow and awkward for a time, less able to fight effectively until he could recover, but if his reading of the situation was correct the battle would soon be over anyway.

: "For my people, for my clan, and for my father. Begone."

Mordecai moves to K-12 and hands his Whetstone over to Reeve. He then switches to Toxic, activates Ancient Gamble to maximum power, and obliterates the Adamantoise.

Mordecai goes to L-11 and blasts the bear.

42 ponders this for a moment.

: "It sounds like they would fit in perfectly with our group. Both in terms of oddity and generosity. Do they still go on adventures?"
