The Steam version is really quite approachable (by Dwarf Fortress standards) and the wiki has a very thorough and easy to follow guide for new players. And the slightly less fancy version is free on their website. So if you’ve got any interest, I’d always recommend starting up a fortress and playing around until you feel like you could join in!

Fuck, that’s a hard choice. I’m either sitting with moth gang or spider gang, but the bees are a great choice too.

I’d love to try again! I remember on the first run I missed one of the posts when it was my turn and played through a year someone else had already done, which was very embarrassing. Hopefully better organization can help prevent dumbasses like me from making such mistakes!

I’ll take the 26th if @gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net doesn’t end up wanting it. Otherwise I can do the week after.

Also I can be the farmer. I’m a big mushroom head

I think the human body is the way it is for a reason. It’s good at a lot of different tasks, so if you want to make a robot that can be used for a lot of different tasks (especially in a world where a lot of shit is designed around the human body) an anthropomorphic robot seems like a good idea. Like sure, a billion different hyper-specialized robot designs would be better, but are they enough better to justify the extra design time over just using the human shape we already know works?

Hey! Stop right there!

lmao no

smh they could have used assfoot instead

I still don’t think he actually did it. Nothing about this story checks out.

gimme that TRIPLE thicc shake, I need the maximum possible number of boys in my yard right now

not everything needs to have thomas edison’s evil spirits in it

install a bell

A “socialist calendar” seems like kind of a silly idea to me (because if you’re going to make a significant change to your day to day life it should be for a practical reason) but I would support the idea of some kind of decimal calendar or whatever in that vein. Something that is actually consistent, with a set number of days and weeks in each month, rather than the current one which feels very much like trying to remember how many yards are in a mile. I wouldn’t be opposed at the same time to renaming the days so we’re not referencing some random gods and stuff every time we talk about each day (but also I wouldn’t mind keeping them because it’s kind of funny)

Guess we’re woke and gay in Hyrule and Black Mesa

I mean kinda, yeah. Alyx is a POC woman who holds her own in Half-Life, Zelda is one of the three most powerful people in the setting and there’s no shortage of other powerful women around, including an entire species of dark-skinned warrior women.

(Not that the Gerudo are an especially good/sensitive portrayal of POC but even ignorant racism is woke to chuds these days, you have to be a full on nazi to satisfy them now)

nobody is going to make all that only to have a vanishing percent of players see it through

Not nobody. Fallout: New Vegas has all kinds of tiny details that most players will never see, and that’s a whole ass open world game made in less than 2 years. It’s entirely doable, either with insane crunch like game dev studios usually do, or by taking some extra time.

It’s a masterful joke (even if unintentional) to just say “green” here without elaboration because blue and yellow are almost equally close to green lmao

I kinda doubt it just because I’ve seen people walking the streets there and asking uyghurs if they have any complaints about China or if they’re aware of any mistreatment of themselves or their family or friends and just getting a bunch of “wtf are you even talking about dude” looks

like if you walk the streets of detroit and ask 100 black people these same questions you’ll get 1000 very detailed complaints about everything from the government to the corporations to the average person, but in xinjiang you can’t get shit

What do you even mean by calling it a “feud”

A bunch of Europeans and Americans showed up in the 1950s, slaughtered the people who were there, and declared the territory theirs. The obvious solution is for those Europeans and Americans to go the fuck home.

I’m really curious what you mean by this.

i do wonder if she would have been better off had someone with money came along and taken her

Well yeah, of course she would have been better off. But that also most likely wasn’t going to happen. Rich assholes buy designer dogs for thousands of dollars from breeders, they don’t sully their hands with poor dogs from poor people. Most of the time if you’re poor and have a dog, that dog’s only alternatives are an overcrowded and underfunded shelter or the literal streets. She certainly wouldn’t have been any better off there.

There’s no need to sling accusations at me just because I’m criticizing something you feel protective of.

Wtf are you even talking about? I’m accusing you of being intentionally obtuse because I had to ask you three times to define a term. I don’t feel “protective” of the fucking multi-billion dollar corporation. I’m trying to have a simple discussion and you’re constantly being hostile and unresponsive.

Why do you still refuse to define rent? How can you justify calling the conversation “frustrating” when you’re the one being intentionally obtuse?

Too much jreen bean casserole
