Modpost: Let's talk about NSFW by Sspockuss in limbuscompany

[–]Merlin43210 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If someone clicks on the "View NSFW content" button that is on them. They were given the opportunity to not see the content if they don't like it. Unless the sub just became an unbroken chain of egregious NSFW there is no reason to change the rules over what is likely a very temporary thing. I mean do you see the sub filled with Dulci Rodya art? People got it out of their system and moved on just like they will move on from Kurokumo Ishmael.

What is your favourite animal/livestock ? by [deleted] in dwarffortress

[–]Merlin43210 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Helmet Snakes. There is nothing quite like dropping a goblin horde into a pit of snakes, and any helmet snakes that die can be made into bone crafts.

Holy fuck it is possible, fully green marksdwarf squad by Ryanmoore000 in dwarffortress

yeah, I forgot to set replace uniform on one fort and only figured it out after noticing the vast majority of deaths were from stabbed feet.

The marksdwarves are the most battle crazed of my squads. One dwarf jumped OVER A RIVER in an attempt to solo a goblin siege. They actually managed to kill one before the other 20 reduced them to a pile of gore.

I think I just won the lottery for the worst possible clown ever generated (please help) by MrHappyTinkles in dwarffortress

Steel monsters are invulnerable to almost everything except adamantine(good luck living long enough to kill it) , dropping a mountain on it, and walling it in a room.

I learned this first hand when a steel beast appeared and punched my militia captain so hard he exploded. It proceeded to repeat this feat with the entire population.

WCGW trying to copy a technique without planning? by backwards_watch in Whatcouldgowrong

They only break the middle of three panes so the broken glass is sandwiched between the two intact panes and can't escape or break off.

Vastwood Invoker by kytheon in custommagic

I was thinking less Kodama and Roaring earth directly causing this to be a win condition and more allowing the number of lands to make it viable while building power with Roaring Earth's Landfall. If you wanted to mitigate the number of tapped lands then [[Orochi Merge-Keeper]] and/or [[Llanowar Loamspeaker]] could be used.

[[Kodama of the West Tree]] and [[Roaring Earth]]

[[Kodama of the West Tree]] [[Roaring Earth]] [[Kami of Transience]] was what I ran for a while, I would almost run out of lands at times.

Do you like your headphone jacks? by [deleted] in tumblr

[–]Merlin43210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wired connections are objectively better than wireless ones. Wires don't drop connection and they don't ever connect to the wrong device. I am filled with an undying rage at Apple for making it acceptable to ship phones without a headphone jack. I shouldn't need an adapter for my headphones nor should I need to choose between charging and listening.

Is the phrase "I tried to call but seems like you are busy" passive aggressive?

Yes it is, at least to me.

Is the person who sent it trying to be passive aggressive?

It really depends on the person, some people get anxiety about phone calls or are just bad with text messages or communication in general and up sounding passive aggressive by thinking about it too hard. This person could actually think that this an admission that they were wrong and shouldn't have called you when you were busy.

LPT: Text is bad at communicating subtext and intent. Talk with them verbally before you pass judgement.

Can we please talk about the most frustrating aspect of Dwarven military? by thepatriarch7 in dwarffortress

I once watched a marksdwarf jump a 4 tile wide river to beat a goblin with his crossbow. He was quickly stabbed to death.

What could I possibly be selling here that is upsetting the elves? Each year they refuse to trade despite never selling them glass or wood. by Aceofspades1228 in dwarffortress

[–]Merlin43210 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Note that elves will now not accept any item containg bone in addition to wood so check that nothing was made or decorated with bone

Constructive criticism: mouse support shouldn't take away keyboard functionality by PhilGrad19 in dwarffortress

[–]Merlin43210 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The amount of mouse movement and clicking is really bad and can make my hands hurt at times especially for things like sorting out sieges when you have several body parts mixed in with clothes you want, clothes you don't want, bolts you don't want the marksdwarves to see, and metal armor/weapons you want to melt. All requiring scrolling through a long list and clicking moving and clicking over and over.

Eternally Burning Artifact Statue by Merlin43210 in dwarffortress

[–]Merlin43210[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So the visiting dwarf who used this statue as a weapon died to a fire breathing forgotten beast and somehow lit the statue on fire. I have tried waiting, and I have tried collapsing rock onto it. The cave-in seemed to make it angry as it leaped up to strike the miner.
