Life Advice / I'm clean shes using. I might be in trouble.
« on: December 25, 2013, 04:34:32 pm »
     This girl i went to highschool with that i really had a crush on has been coming around and hanging out. At first it was just sex but now I think i may be getting too close. The thing is shes still using and I've been clean for a while now. I don't wanna delude myself into thinking this is a good idea, but i've been single since my divorce 2 years ago and she is so sweet and beautiful. I don't know if i can handle all the lies and bullshit that comes with it though. Been there done that. But its not like i have a bunch of ladies beating my  door down either. I was just hoping i was immune to these kind of feelings but i guess not. Just curious what you guys think if any of you have ever been in my situation. my life is a little off the wall though.

General Discussion / No chaser ?
« on: December 18, 2013, 05:58:38 pm »
     So I quit drinking a few years back.. but I have this wild turkey Rare breed barrel proof 108.2 proof whiskey that has been staring at me from across the table all day. I think it  even winked at me once. I have no chaser. coffee. water. and the only thing I've eaten all day was a bowl of oatmeal. So bad idea ? I could probly stomach it watering my shots down a little. Has been a long time since my "Lets drink this everclear straight from the bottle " days.

Life Advice / What would you do?
« on: December 17, 2013, 05:46:13 am »
I am just wondering if smarter people than me can figure a way out of this predicament. So anywayzz..roleplay as me for a moment. I had a neck injury. was unemployed. remained unemployed for almost 2 years while trying to get treatment with no insurance and was turned down by Social Security. Was staying with my mom when this happened had split from my wife recently. (I'm 35 by the way) Never got to see a neurologist but my general practitioner says i need surgery. Okay..went back to work for a restaurant washing dishes for 6 months because thats pretty much what all of my previous work experience consisted of (restaurant work). Well, my mom had to move, and I had to move with her, because I was only making min wage and getting less than 30 hours a week, no way I could afford my own place. So we move to the middle of nowhere in the country 10 miles from a gas station even. So I had to leave that job because its like 50 miles away.I live in a camper I bought that is parked in my moms yard. I have a 1991 blazer that needs tires now and brakes and the insurance and tags are dead as of this month.I have already flunked out of college and owe a student loan. I have no gas money to go look for work in town and if I get pulled over I'm screwed. I have tried applying to just about every work at home call center job I can find online and even borrowed money to buy a USB headset. I applied to those paid cdl training schools and was turned down because of something like 8 years old on a background check. My mom cant help me because she can barely pay her own bills. I'm stuck in this camper in the middle of nowhere. Its like a prison almost. I would go to the next town over and stay at the homeless shelter there until I find a job, but they only let you stay 2 weeks without a job and throw you out in the cold all day.  So my obamacare kicks in next month and I might be able to see a neurologist finally. What would you guys do? sit in your camper prison with no income ? I don't think I can do it much longer. I'm down to like 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts or some shit.And no I really don't have any friends that live around here to help me out either so thats out. Just a little rant. I lie here at night daydreaming of ATM's spittin money like slot machines. Didn't buy a mega millions ticket. Didn't have a buck. So what am I missing here? Should I just get in my blazer with the bad tires bad brakes no tags or insurance and just drive until i run out of gas ? LOL wouldn't take long. It gets pretty cold when the motor dies.

DF Modding / would a mod be required for a well of booze ?
« on: December 16, 2013, 09:15:53 pm »
I posted a little bit ago in the dwarf  mode discussion and thought I would ask the all knowing modders who are familiar with the game mechanics if a mod would be "required" to make a well full of booze, or if it would be at all theoretically possible in an unmodded game.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / haven't posted in a long time. A booze well?
« on: December 16, 2013, 08:39:41 pm »
Has anyone monkeyed with the idea of having a well of booze? Can't see how I could get it to work without a mod like the liquids one where you can add water or magma, except booze probably isn't a flowing liquid recognized by the game.

I got stuck a little bit on my last fortress and fired up a new world. I found a nifty embark site mostly flat (except for the volcano) with a happy little river http://youtu.be/TRI_l3Jdbm0
I haven't played with volcanos much and I'm thinking of starting some kind of mega project. Maybe you guys (and gals) could brainstorm and toss some ideas at me.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Trying to reclaim a fortress.
« on: May 26, 2012, 02:38:25 am »
So I had this fortress which was pretty awesome (mediocre really) and I've tried to reclaim it a couple of times but their are goblins and humans ambushing my guys. I've tried beefing up my embark profile with weapons and armor and novice axe and crossbow but they still get their asses kicked by like the first goblin....damn. Any body have a lot of experience reclaiming a fortress have any pointerz?

I know this is more Windows related than Dwarf Fortress related probably but does anyone know any reason why I would keep getting App crashes in the middle of gameplay ? It has happened several times and is getting pretty damn aggravating because I only autosave once a year. Windows 7 32 bit AMD phenom II X3 705e  onboard graphics radeon hd 4200 all drivers up to date.

Does anyone know what the song is on Dwarf Fortress ? I play classical guitar (and metal) and it sounds similar to a few pieces but I can't place it. Anywayzz, just trying to learn to play it is all.
