Yeah, but it's more that it's a game between friends, involving money, and based entirely on trust. Which I am the host for.

Also there was such a massive awkward silence afterwards, too...

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

The original writer is laughing that they're getting attention for it.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I'm sad because Toady won't spend a bit of time fixing the more glaring UI issues. I understand he doesn't want to make a change that'll just be nullified in future versions, but doing something like consolidating the commands, so that Escape always goes back one page, space always pauses/unpauses, enter always selects, etc? Adding a Dwarf Therapist style labour screen and/or Gnomoria-style professions (letting you make a "Metalworker" profession that has all the metal-working labours, and just telling a Dwarf "You're a metalworker now." and he has those labours)? Adding the DFHack Search function to screens? Letting you select a material to build constructions with, even if you don't have that material on hand, a la DFHack planning mode?

Those don't seem like things that would be nullified in the future, and would make playing the vanilla game so much better. I'm sure one could think of further changes like that, of course.

We used to have this, and it was horribly inefficient. The professions got split up so you can tell someone to do either weaponsmithing OR armorsmithing, before they'd do either/or with the same profession, with about 0 usefulness without being manager-screen-babysitting your smiths/etc.

And you can do exactly this anyway, right now, by pressing shift+enter on a profession category to toggle all of the jobs under the category.

Unless you mean creating your own professions somehow like Therapist and being able to hot-swap them on people, which would be entirely new and likely a different layer of UI to fight through.

AFAIK 'Esc' is universal usage, things like '+' and '-' and the number key scrolling should be universal or moved to pageup/pagedown. All in all it's still a pretty big clusterfuck of a task just to do that, though, which makes me have sympathy when Toady says he'll "work on it", and makes me appreciate all the 3rd party developers having a swipe at UI stuff.

At first, I didn't really pay any mind to it, but lately, it's becoming a bit worrying, but one of my cats seems to have disappeared, and I have no clue where to start looking. What doesn't help is that he's all black, so trying to look for them at night (and especially since we've had 3 cold rainy days in a row, which probably isn't good for them either if they're hurt somewhere) is a tad on the difficult side. Make matters worse, it seems they've been gone for at least 2-3 days so far, possibly longer. I hope nothing bad happened to them.

We have some surprisingly large birds in our area (though I have yet to see them snatch up anything, though it is a concern when walking the dog, seeing as they're big enough to pluck them off the road as I am walking them), not to mention, there are also snakes, though the cats know how to guard themselves against them, and the local snakes are too small to be a cause of worry (biggest one that was a rattler was killed long ago, and it was a threat to everyone); which leaves the local raccoons, which can get pretty nasty in some cases (one of our last cats from eons ago (at least a decade or 2) got mauled by one and didn't survive the attack).

And of course, there's other people, tourists and the like; especially considering the cat's a bit of a Casanova with everyone they meet. Only other thing that remains as a theory, though we already explored the local areas, is the potential that they're trapped somewhere, but I haven't heard any meowing in any strange locations, and last time something like that occurred, he was trapped in the shed for about 2-3 days straight. Basically, I'm gonna be spending all day tomorrow looking around the block for them, or at worst (God forbid), their remains.

Pray for their safety and return, and that we can find them in one piece and alive.

EDIT:
Considering the Casanova bit I mentioned earlier, along with the recent weather, chances are that someone must've taken him in while they were taking shelter from the weather. Hopefully, our neighbors might be of some help; then again, the Humane Society/Animal Control may have gotten a hold of them too, and if not addressed in time, could either have brought him to another household, or destroyed them. In some cases, our neighbors were being dicks about the times our dog ran off, and called the HS/AC, even though despite not wearing a collar at the time sometimes, they knew we owned them, but wanted them removed nonetheless, somewhat for good; so that's not a longshot, unfortunately. Despite looking like a miniature panther, he's harmless (though capable of standing their ground, having some bobcat in their genes), and quite the affectionate type. Why any harm would come to them is a mystery.
