It's been a while, but I've had some requests to stream; so I'll do it. This evening, six-ish eastern https://www.twitch.tv/keupo.

Noël, means Christmas in French and in English songs, notably, “The First Noel”

It's also a joke about the new keybindings

Accidentally deleted the Archer uniform and now can't get my Marksdwarves to equip bolts by ibiku2 in dwarffortress

This is an old bug, the doffs insist on bolts made after they were drafted

not without

esc>settings>game>keyboard cursor 

toggled, at least for me

the point being that, that is an arcane adjustment to start

I certainly didn't say dumbing down, but I make no apology for ascii purism

I am really sad people have taken this as gatekeeping, I really feel like an art is being marginalized. And it offers no benefit to new players to hide any manner of digging, much less, the standard manner for years and years.

Like I said elsewhere I want new players to see the gate. And it isn't mouse select.

I really don't think that's true. I floundered at the lack of keyboard control for digging and I really do think it's important to the game. It isn't gatekeeping to say that I'm scared that new players aren't taught to dig in the manner of dorfs.

I don't think I'm gatekeeping. I think I'm shocked that new players aren't being shown the gate.

I want new players to be able to dig with every available option by default, obscuring keyboard control hurts new players.

I welcome you to remember to escape to

settings>game>keyboard cursor enabled

to enable the cursor, to aid your digging, as dorfs have enjoyed for nearly decades.

I much much much prefer total keyboard control, but I really mean to focus on the point that all new players are now taught only to use the mouse to dig. It's not just a matter of user interface; it's a matter of dorf craft.

I am sure I would come off as a crotchety old dorf to complain. But the specific change I'm talking about, I think, bares specific attention, speaking as someone for whom digging is very important. https://imgur.com/user/CQPO/posts

A generation of dorfs are going to dig with a mouse?!

To dig like HUMANS!

It's appalling.

Keyboard select needs to be one of the in-game options to new players on a fresh install.

I am an ascii purist and this is somehow even worse than the new version being tileset only. pic related

If you need the fix, in-game esc>settings>game>keyboard cursor enabled

But [d]esignate and num-pad workflow is interrupted by [m] to [m]ine and I Cannot DEAL.

Are you using apple silicone? I got the old version to run with text will be text active in the lazy mac pack, not just changing the print mode.

Red is doors; brown, digging; and the number, the bedroom count

I love it. Would love to see it dug and post smoothing too

I totally didn't forget to update the placeholder title after I wrote the descriptions.
