I mean the interface sure. If there were an efficient LLM for autotranslation that would be good too, but I don't think that's worth it with current energy costs. It's pretty neat to see all the language learning resources on there right now, it could be a great environment for practice.

I have such mixed feelings about 90s color palettes, but I think it's really working for them.

That hand took a lot of work and it still is kinda fucked up, but it's better than I've often done for a more challenging pose.

I also had a long period of time where I thought it was about casting metal. I think the phrase works either way, although the intended meaning probably makes more sense.

Managed to get cities skylines 2 to stop turning my computer into the elephant's foot by throttling the cpu to 95%. It also only usually crashes after a while except when it does right away now.

I've got pretty nice little city now, with what I think is a pretty natural and pleasing density gradient - mostly midrises. Spent a while to retrofit an elevated highway and interchange along one of the city's axes and it works pretty nicely now. Not even a monstrosity except for a pretty suspect bridge and a truly terrifying merge scheme that has merges immediately before and in-line with exits.

The tools for drawing roads etc. definitely work and can achieve nice results with a little forethought, but they remain cumbersome and fiddly (especially if you have OCD). Moveit is basically indispensible as a tool to scooch things around if you want things to look a particular way.

I love this stupid grognard myth game and I know some of you all do too. I think it would be fun to do a pretty casual multiplayer game of it, since I think there are a fair few who have only ever played it single player and the game really shines playing against real people.

I can offer resources and advice to get anyone up to speed about good builds. Dominions is a very difficult game to master; I don't know that anyone has.

Playing a multiplayer match is typically a commitment of playing a turn or so per day for a few months. It is much quicker early on and eventually might move to a turn every two or three days toward the end. Lots of people end up kinda giving up or stopping before the end, so don't worry too much about that, although it is also common to get someone to replace you.

I'd like this to be a very relaxed and helpful game to bring more people into the multiplayer scene.

Any interest? Feel free to comment or DM me. This will move to discord eventually as it has useful bots for the game and provides an easy channel for conversation between players.

Is there anyone who samples so good as doom did? Some of the chord hits remind my of my favorite citypop tracks. I mean, it's prolly some of the same jazz sources. But the comic incorporation over time is really unreplicated. I recognize that I'm stuck in the old-school hiphop ouevre, but I just really love it. There was something really special going on in that period.

Hexbear pop culture enemies - for instance superhero movies are often semi-seriously marked with a "capeshit" warning

We should actually stop doing this. The function of Content Warnings is to help people avoid upsetting material, not to signal that something is disapproved of. Using them ironically or "semi-seriously" makes them less effective in their actual function.

A little character art this time. Lots of mistakes as far as belt-direction, scabbard-placement, and where that shield should be. Generally speaking just went for a pretty fantasy kind of get-up, but with more grounded arms and armor.

He's Mr. Bonerpill. I think you're thinking about Contrapoints for the former.

it's really become some nastybones business in the last couple few years. Like a totalizing thing that affects most of the things I do. In the course of writing this post I'm doing repetitions and that's just normal at this point. I frequently curate upvotes on my posts so they're not bad numbers. It's to the point where I have to go back and forth between tabs or closing and opening them to make sure it's not a bad number. It's even such that I am policing my motions with my hands so they're not bad. Even in the body of this post, I'm counting as much as I can in service of avoiding certain numbers of sentences or repetitions of words.

Anyway, how do you all experience this disease and how do you cope with it?

Apologies for the length, I was just really enjoying the opportunity to write some slopping wet prose. I'll organize the journal entries by month and link them here.

Save file


State of the fortress in briefEverything’s going pretty much fine in the fortress. I reorganized the military and have the squads patrolling between the two cavern entrances in shifts. At any point the bridges could be raised, but I left them open to encourage fun.

One thing that I didn’t mention in the journal is that there are some warm walls in the lower caverns, which should indicate there’s a source of magma for future efficient industry and mischief.

There were only two dwarf deaths that I can recall, as well as a birth or two. There was one moderate wave of migrants. I mostly let the upper fortress run itself, save for a little shuffling and building of guildhalls. The Countess either has all her needs met or only needs a little more in her bedroom. I had thought about reorganizing some of the offices, but I didn’t really get around to that.

A number of rose gold coins have been minted. A small amount of bismuth bronze was made, I used some to decorate The Rose Chamber, which I intend to serve as a reliquary and landmark. It would also serve as a very fine temple complex for the local Stigilite sect, but it didn’t seem quite right for the roleplay and I didn’t want dwarves to be pulled up and down the fortress to visit it too much.

So far the military has been able to tackle pretty much everything the caves have thrown up and probably won’t struggle against anything that isn’t made of very hard materials or producing toxic gas. The elves might get pissed if tree-cutting picks back up, probably not a huge concern unless someone wants to maintain peace for whatever reason.

Suggestions for future players are to keep digging down, gain access to magma, and set up new industries like glass (if sand can be procured) or dyeworks.

I think there are a lot of people who are just so incredibly relieved to not have to think about Biden that they'll project all of their hopes onto her like a Kamala Rasa.

I think it would be unwise for this site to start believing that they're all special little geniuses who actually are immune to propaganda because they're just so correct about everything all the time.
