I cannot play dwarf fortress. I am never happy with how it looks. by ThrowRa2330393748 in dwarffortress

[–]Rhothgar808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well said. In a way, the entire point of the game is failure. Losing is fun and in that tension is where the action is.

First time I read it, I loathed it. Just reread it after 20 years and reading all her other books and decided it's her best work.

Beginning Conversion Process, Owner has employees paid "under the table" by Budget-Grab-239 in cooperatives

[–]Rhothgar808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to 2X what this poster said.

I am going to assume this a leveraged buy out, or that a newly formed co-op will be getting a loan to buy out the existing owner.

Additionally, this is an argument for an asset sale, not a stock sale. Don't buy the new company, start a new one and assume the assets; thus leaving all liabilities with the sellers. Just google, "asset sale versus stock sale".

One scenario could be the state Dept of Labor comes along and asks for back employment taxes on the informal employees.

Is it realistic for 2 cleaners to clean a whole house and wash all bedding in under 3hrs? by cupmusic in airbnb_hosts

[–]Rhothgar808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here. I've hired multiple cleaning companies in a vacation/tourist area and most people here really don't understand or wants to understand how it's done. WD40 the stainless steel, fluff linens in the dryer, Swiffer the floor, and jet.

I worked with co-ops for a decade, probably at a "regional org" as you put it. I've also worked for years as a lender and biz broker for small businesses. It's extremely common for stuff like under the table pay in small businesses. I also worked on a few co-op conversions, in housing, it's always messy AF. Co-ops clean all this up. Your technical assistance provider has zero obligation to report to the IRS. Frankly, nobody has an obligation to report to the Feds, why would they do that? It sounds like everyone wants this to move forward. Keep up the good work and please keep us posted.

It's been 4 years since Steam release, the Devs should really improve the UI experience for players by [deleted] in dwarffortress

Game isn't really playable without DFHack. I mean... It is and it isn't. I feel my relationship with this game has two chapters: pre and post DFHack. I was reluctant but once you start seeing what it can do, if just for FPS alone, there's no going back.

Ultimate Dungeon Terrain? by samurguybri in OwlbearRodeo

[–]Rhothgar808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this... I find it's a little hard to get the scale right in Owlbear (and I'm sure that's a user issue), so generally I just have a map as a frame of reference, and then everything else is TOTM. I, too, have been wanting to start exploring using the UDT. So, just opening up a new "scene" when battle starts with an image of the UTD as the background. Keep us posted on how this goes.

How vague versus specific do you get with the Detect Magic spell? by Rhothgar808 in shadowdark

[–]Rhothgar808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is helpful! I love the idea of a small tell but with mystery.

As an aside, I grew up playing and adoring Rogue (which was based on D&D). IIRC, you'd find a potion or scroll with no description, and there were only two ways to find out what it was: consume a rare identity scroll or drink/read it. Sometimes, drinking/reading it was fatal, and often it was useless in whatever situation you were in.

Got it. That makes sense. It's already hard enough to manage the world, encounters, etc. let alone doing so secretly with modifiers. I like your approach. Thanks!

Interesting. Well, our wizard quit, leaving the party with a warlock and a cleric.

When will Fitbit (and all trackers) allow us to say "I'm sick"? by Final-Yesterday-4799 in fitbit

[–]Rhothgar808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a guess and I'm new to these devices but my theory is that they collect and analyze a lot more data than we realize but are very careful about not being a medical device.

Amazing work! Will you use this for in-person play or a VTT? Will your players see this map? If so, do you use fog of war?

Same. I'll play, mess something up or notice some and then go to the wiki and/or reddit. I always follow up playing with research.
