Dwarf Fortress - Despite the multiple let's sperg threads, we never had a general

[Merrys Pipeweed]

I was wondering why the dwarf fortress section on twitch had abnormally high trannies & male autism per square inch and now after reading this thread I'm less confused, at the end of the day we always knew these two things were interlinked.

I don't get everyone's panic that DF will be dramatically changed because blue hairs says you cant call Elves TreeNiggers.

I'm speaking mostly from the experiences I've had with dangerhairs forcefully wrestling the things I like away from me and anally raping them in front of my eyes. Who knows - Tarn might be too autistic to follow through with their demands like you say, but I haven't got my hopes up.

I remember Kruggsmash's Crash Course video being pretty good just for setting up the bare basics of a fort.

That was the very first DF video I ever watched waaaay back when the 2020 succession fort thread began. Can't believe it's been nearly three years and I'm only just starting to figure out the more complex things you can do in the game.

Then there are things like if you get vampire blood in there and then some thirsty dorf decides it's a good water source

Wait, you're not supposed to let them drink from the vampire tank? I think I finally figured out why they're all eating eachother.

Just catching up on this thread but this discord shit makes me wonder if some of these people could browse the RimWorld subreddit without having an aneurysm considering some of the topics and talk that come up there.

Yes, I know. Reddit is a shithole but the RimWorld subreddit really cracks me up sometime, especially when some of the posts like "how to efficiently use human leather and child labor" end up on reddit's front page.

Briefly checking the game's forums, Steam forums and Reddit it looks like older players are starting to realize there are actual, major issues. We got a patch that fixed having to click 100 times for 100 items, but still so much that needs to be done.

It's discouraging to see a lot of legitimate complaints being overshadowed by constant meme spam of "strike the earth!" I feel like they just tripped and slammed their face at the finish line here.

P.S.
Small note from Kitfox: if your save was previously corrupting and crashed, it probably cannot be revived, sorry. Many of these crashing errors caused garbage to be inserted into the save, which now is irreparable. If you can reload to an autosave, that's more likely to work. Otherwise, you'll have to start a new fort. Sorry! Thanks!

I literally cannot imagine finding a more obnoxious way to say "Old saves are corrupted and unfixable."

for anyone wondering what's the sudden fuss around elves

Are they still cannibals?

Aren't these guys meant to be mega autistic programmers capable of coding everything down to the Dwarfs blood type and yet seem to be fucking up on an incredible scale when it comes to anything update related? No wonder the Steam version took so long to make.

That announcement is from the tranny company Kitfox that got onboarded to publish the game.

Yer this is my biggest issue.

I understand that it’s supposed to be a graphical release and was ok with it just being that. But after all the sycophantic 10/10 praises has turned me off and I didn’t buy it yet. I was planning on day one buying Df which normally breaks my golden rule but I never gave the Adam’s money because I don’t trust Zak with my PayPal dox.

One of the biggest modders and tool makers (most famously made Armok Vision) trooned out and his output is almost 0. Big sad. I remember discovering he trooned out when trying to contribute to a project and seeing his GitHub pulse literally flatline when he trooned out lol. May be worth a look for tranny sideshows.

As a long time DF enjoyer and someone who has interacted with the Bay12 forums let me tell you how the future will go;

• Zak will be a SJW retard and tweet cringe shit like “DF stands with GeorgeFloyd”. Don’t get mad, Zak is a writer for a game which is 98% procgen, he’s a social media manager level IQ so he just follows the current thing because JimmyFalon does.
• KitFox and Zak may do some performative tweets or sales around gay shit like The dwarf fortress logo in rainbow colors for pride month and all that gay shit. Only on social media tho.
• Tarn will be publicly asked to include trans dorfs or add neo pronouns. And he will say “huh that could be a neat idea, sure”. Tarn won’t follow through with this and answers it the same way as if you were to ask for moving vehicles or space travel in DF. He never says no because his autistic mind is trying to simulate everything so nothing is off the table.
• Zac and Tarn are both already liberal, Tarn is a boomer lib, he doesn’t give a shit what niggas do with their body and “I support the popular thing because I don’t want people talking to me”. Zac is more “ I need to tell everyone what a good person I am“ liberal, But remember the only reason he’s a part of the equation is because Tarn made a promise to his father on his deathbed that he would look after his retarded little brother.

Tl;DR nothing will fucking change in the game, maybe more gay shit on social media tho.

It's DF, if it wasn't bugged to shit and random crap would break beacuse 2 spergs can't be assed to do a full End 2 End QA cycle as SDLC process for them involves how many lines of pixie stix they can fit up their nose you'll exuse me for not caring.

I really hate the trend of game devs and their community manager lackeys trying to come across as #relatable or whatever. It's honestly gotten to the point where I prefer reading the standard CorpoSpeak notices that are just "We'd like to sincerely apologize to those affected."

I wrote a brief writeup about Jappa in this post, I'll hit you with a PM and maybe we can work together on a more fleshed out post.
He had an interesting opportunity in life and it was really sad to see him going from a promising, nerdy young man to a sexual deviant who abandons his family over the span of a decade or so.

I was fully expecting a raftload of shit. This is easily the biggest new version in at least five years and every other major release has come with some game-breaking bugs, so it stands to reason this would as well. They're probably going to have to fix at least some of the worst of these before adding back Adventurer and Arena modes.

Case in point, the last or second to last of our forts, on some version 0.47.x-ish which had stress problems so bad they generally rendered a fort unplayable within a few years no matter what you did. I got so frustrated I went full Hitler and just moved all the stressed dwarves into the magma trap room and poured magma over all of them. To no real benefit. Other than my own I suppose.

I prefer to exile stressed dwarves to my various holdings, but it's not as much fun.

Edit: and good point about the bugs and release timeline. This definitely feels like mostly typical Tarn b.s. bugs that always happen on a major release. And then, the long wait until the next release.

I remember Kruggsmash's Crash Course video being pretty good just for setting up the bare basics of a fort. Personally, I'd recommend just playing with the wiki open and trying to use that as you run into things you may have no idea how to operate (like the military scheduling stuff). Watching tons and tons of videos before you get started removes some of the fun of getting things running on your own. Or having things go utterly pear-shaped, as is usual in DF.

I started looking again at videos. I just need to get a solid 3-4 hours block to watch some videos and get a first fort in.

Sorry that's my fault. I didn't deliver the estrogen this week to kitfox's offices. At least things seem to be updated frequently enough.

I think if the game ends up being very popular due to critical acclaim that there's going to be a lot of pressure to fix shit. Doubly so after the initial songs and praises of the game are over.

One trend I've certainly noticed on Steam is that people react to negative reviews with the jester award.

It made me curious and I checked. I never understood streamer culture. Is it that all these trannies think that streaming this game will give them attention?

All this time and dwarves being unable to meet their needs and stress spiral still hasnt been fixed.
"Im so stressed I need to aquire something" Nigger I have 5,000,000,000 random objects made of platinum go grab one.
"I can't spend time with my family " you don't have any family you came here yourself.

Why did he code this.

Needs don't actually matter that much and I don't know why they're highlighted in the interface and phrased that way.

Dwarves will be perfectly happy with unmet needs for decades as long as the rest of their life is bliss.

Dwarves that want to spend time with family but don't have any, it's more like they want to get married, but it's not like you can do anything about that yourself.

 

[Reverend]

Did they include the ability for Dwarves to be Non-Binary or Trans? I'd love to see a 41% YOY population decline.

The new steam version is wonderful, it brings in a slew of new people, it's a fantastic GUI overhaul and even though it's buggy it's light years above the ASCII Technowave matrix scrawl on the screen.

 

[TheArtilleryman]

Are there any changes or additions regarding game mechanics in the steam version? I don't want to pay that much just for a graphics and UI overhaul.
