An... interesting FB
« on: July 11, 2013, 07:44:58 am »





Urist McRecruit: Captain! A terrible b-beast approaches! From the caverns!
Captain: Alright, out with it, dwarf. What did you see?
Urist: It was horrible! An enormous, four-legged... thing! With eight legs!
Captain: Well, which is it? four legs, or eight?
Urist: Like I said, it had four legs. Except it had eight legs!
Captain: Ok... Well, I think I'll let you handle this one. I, uhh, need to lead a biting demonstration. Good luck!
Urist: Y-yes, sir!
...
...
...
Urist McRecruit has been struck down.

I think the so-called "poisonous gas" might have something to do with it. Hallucinogens in DF? Don't tell your parents.

I found a human city named Sleevevirgins. It was easily the biggest city in the world, so clearly I wasn't the first person to come inside the city's walls.

It's an obvious oversight and most likely not what's after the comma, but technically 'tetrapod' means "four limbs" while 'quadruped' means "uses four limbs for locomotion". So that precisely speaking means it has eight legs but only uses four of those for walking (at a given time).

So what, it's quadrilaterally symmetric and if you knock it on its "back" it can keep coming after you?

That's... actually a little terrifying.

No, its an eight limbed quadruped in the same way that humans are four limbed bipeds.

So imagine Bruce Lee, except he's a horse, and that he has 4 horse-legs for walking and 4 Bruce-Lee-legs for kicking in skulls.

I don't know about you guys, but I personally find the fact that it's made of pineapple a little more interesting than its limbs.

It's not, actually. That screenshot is cut off. It's made of pineapple opal, a gemstone.

So it's inorganic, which sucks, because those are generally more difficult to beat down. Call in the obsidian chamber.

An example of pineapple opal.
I'm telling you. Hallucinogens. It's the only explanation.

If you scroll to the right on the post, you'll notice it's pineapple opal, a gemstone... not a fruit.

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.
I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

It's not a fruit!  It just prefers the company of other forgotten beasts, that's all.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.
