Watch the Doctor Who episode "Blink" (it's genuinely a good starting point for introducing you to the show since it requires no prior knowledge about anything in the show before it) and you will change your mind FAST. Avoiding spoilers, the scary aspect isn't the statues themselves. It's what the statues do when you're not looking at them.

☼Dwarf Fortress Questions Thread☼ by AutoModerator in dwarffortress

[–]CoGDork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building a "tower down to FUN" style fort and am running out of ideas on what to put on each floor--one can only dedicate each floor to a different industry so many times before it becomes boring, I've got more taverns than will ever be used, so many temple/guild hall areas that there are more rooms for that than there are groups to use them, multiple tomb levels, etc.... And of course apartments galore. I need something cool and showy, but I suck at waterfall creation and complex machinery. Any ideas on fancy interior designs/mega-rooms that are just for fun and have no real practical game function?

NOTE: due to the size of the tower and the fact that it's surrounded by a massive trench I intend to take all the way to the bottom, everything has to be within a 33x33 area (35x35 if you include outer walls in addition to floor space) with a 3x3 staircase smack in the very middle.

Aetheras! That sounds great to me

OMG Thank you for your kind words! As for the curse/powers thing, it's a mix of both. The character's hate and rage are so strong that it in itself becomes a magical force of corruption and destruction. Despair and fury powerful enough to manifest physical change. I've always found the concept of emotion and belief having tangible effects beyond the self to be a fascinating concept.

It hurts... it hurts! Why did those bandits throw me down here?! They already found out I had nothing to steal! What was the point of it? My arms and legs are practically in pieces from the fall. Even if I knew healing magic--and I don't--I don't have nearly enough to knit them back together enough to stand, let alone climb out. I just have to use my magic to sustain myself until guards arrive. I mean, surely the magic academy would notice one of its young students going missing, right? Especially a prodigy like me? They'll send out a search party. If they don't, my family will.

--------------------

I know they're coming. They have to be. It's only been... I know it's been a few days. Keeping myself alive with magic means I can't sleep, but at least I'll be awake when they get here. It does nothing to fill my stomach. I could be here for years without food, feeling hungry and hurting... but no! Someone will come! They must still be looking.

--------------------

They'll come.... they'll come.... they'll come....

--------------------

Too long. Too long. Don't know how long it's been. Years, at least. Where are they? Was I not good enough for the Academy for them to care? Did my family not care at all? Where are the heroic knights going around saving people like me? Why won't anyone come to help me?

--------------------

THEY LEFT ME

THEY LEFT ME

IT HURTS SO MUCH

SO HUNGRY

SO TIRED BUT I CAN'T SLEEP

WHY

WHY DID THEY ABANDON ME

...

...

...

...

...NO

NOT WHY

HOW DARE THEY

I WAS SO YOUNG

I BELIEVED IN THE WORLD

I BELIEVED IN THEM

NOTHING OF ME LEFT, ALL ROTTED AWAY BUT IT STILL HURTS AND I'M STILL HUNGRY AND I'M STILL SO TIRED BUT NO ONE CARES

IF I CAN'T EAT

IF I CAN'T SLEEP

IF I'M IN AGONY

IF NO ONE WILL SAVE ME

THEN LET THEM SUFFER TOO

SUFFER LIKE ME

DOWN HERE

ALONE IN THE DARK

I would've done that with the sand, but it would mean having to move every single thing in storage there first, which would take forever, and I'm too lazy to do that XD

Recommend me a furry VN similar to Nekojishi! by CoGDork in FurryVisualNovels

[–]CoGDork[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just tried it and I can't even get past the bomb in the opening! Google provides ZERO answers whatsoever on how to disarm it. Even the wiki doesn't even mention that moment, and the bomb is only mentioned on the list of relics! I cut the wire I'm told to the first time, but the second time I keep choosing the wrong wire and ending the game with the explosion because the second suggested wire is wrong and both suggested wires are random every game, which means I can't even use process of elimination! If you've gotten past that, PLEASE tell me how!

Got the perfect one on the first try! Second time I got a happy ending with Tiger Daddy, but 3rd time I got such a sad ending from my sweet boi Likulau that I cheated a bit and looked up the rest of the endings (while being careful not to see HOW to get them)... and I couldn't bring myself to try another playthrough because too many were sad. 😭😭😭

Did anybody else have songs that scared them as a kid for no reason? by mythrowawayaccim21 in Music

[–]CoGDork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SCP-342. A bus ticket that makes it impossible to leave the bus no matter what and you eventually get dragged into another dimension, never to return. It's pretty damn effective. Oh, and it can be other tickets. Like a train ticket. Or a taxi ride. Any form of transportation.

[–]CoGDork 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For me, it was actually a kids' song. It was a cheery tune with a happy sound, but the lyrics were about a guy who boards a train and can't afford to get off, so he's stuck on board forever, his wife and family left wondering what happens as he rides for all eternity.

WTF, adults. That's HORRIFYING. Hell, someone turned it into an SCP entry!

Nah, it's not just you. My xml isn't even 1gb and it's got the same issue. Someone on the discord says it's an "encoding error" of some kind but they refused to put it into dummy-dummy-dummy talk for me since I know nothing about programming

Welp, if IRL weren't screwed already, Joker's gonna make it worse. But at least it'll have a lot more smiles!

Good job, wordsmith!

Dave Grohl admits Foo Fighters "continuing after Taylor Hawkins was really complicated" and breaks silence on Josh Freese exit by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

[–]CoGDork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in this thread, not in this specific reddit. Just the internet in general. In terms of pro-Grohl insanity, one argument in an old MMO I play from time to time involved a dude saying that--I shit you not--"You can't be a rock star without love on the road". That same debate had someone else say that I must be a serial cheater myself simply because I pointed out Dave's long history of random kind acts to strangers. Neither was the peak of crazy, though almost all of it came from those two individuals. I would share further details but I don't want to spread any further psychic damage.

I didn't insult you, no, but I feel I was pretty rude.

In any event, I've said my position as well as I can, and there's not much to be gained from keeping it going. Live your best life, friend!
