The main thing I’m thinking about is the fuckin grease and carbon and whatever the hell else the poor thing is getting in its mouth. Hands win again

Yeah I was thinking they might not have quite the strength or range to actually force the bolt back, it can be pretty hard to do that with hands.

Fun fact, anyone can call us bleach demons. It’s fun for the whole family!

Congrats, seriously, that’s awesome

I guess the time has come, because I’m on Team Luigi any day

except it’s 1884 instead

I’ve been playing a bunch of Dwarf Fortress over this week, so hopefully I’ll be better prepared by the time my next turn rolls around.

I think he was aware of the bullshit, but not aware that it was a problem which could be solved.

I didn’t see anyone important die in the brawl, but I could have missed it. We got a lot of migrants and I think it was mostly just randoms who did a lot of hauling.

I was there on the sidewalk when they ran over Tank Man. I spoke to him, he was flat like a pancake. I asked him what he wanted the world to know. He said, “I hate hexbear!” Then a PLA soldier came by with a spatula and carried him away.

I had to do that to get Windows to recognize my SSDs. Yeah, it was a fucking mess.

Linux just worked. I honestly wish at this point that I hadn’t even bothered setting up Windows. It was 90% of the hassle.

Arc Raiders runs so smooth on Linux, I love it.

There were some crashes right on launch, but when I looked them up it seemed like Windows users were having them too. And it was totally fixed within like a week or two.

Of all the countries which make food in Europe, Italy is one of them.

I tried my best to honor your memory! Hopefully the copper statue is satisfactory :)

I love him

I must admit to having been somewhat overwhelmed by the state of the fortress! There are several things my predecessor recommended that I simply couldn’t figure out how to do, and others that I thought would likely spell disaster if I attempted them. None of them have been completed, so I will include those in the recommendations at the end! Also, while I do love to write some silly fantasy flavor text for this type of thing, today I just wanted to get this post out there and not bog down the proceedings. Next time maybe I’ll have more time to write up a fun story for you all. For now, here’s what happened.

The Story of the Year 205:

The year began as one would expect. On the 4th of Granite, we were assailed by a divine entity in the service of the god Adil. It slew a few dwarves in battle and left behind strange armaments of multicolored metal and a skirt of blazing cloth.

In the following months, I did some work on building a temple for which The Tin Doctrines petitioned while we were repeatedly assaulted by small raiding parties (“ambushes”) of goblins and kobolds. I also attempted to investigate the theft of Brimsstyled, but my thorough investigation has resulted in several conflicting confessions, which makes me concerned about the idea of assigning punishments. During this time I also got back up to my old shenanigans and mined some tetrahedrite in order to make copper and silver coins to commemorate my brief and ill-advised tenure as manager.

Disaster struck in mid-Malachite when one of several goblin raids caught Doubledee off guard and brutally murdered them! I built a large tomb for them behind the new temple and placed a statue in their honor near the tavern. Near their tomb, I began work on an expansive catacomb to prevent the fortress from getting too haunty. Side effect: Now the fortress is significantly more spooky. I leave it to you to decide which is worse.

In Galena, our luck came in the form of a very unfortunately timed kobold raid. As the kobolds were attempting to reach our door, the roc Adkìrar arrived. The two groups met and repelled one another without our military having been involved.

Things were rather quiet from then until the 11th of Timber, when as far as I can tell a troglodyte managed to slip into our tavern. This upset several people, who decided it wasn’t welcome there. Once it was dead, many of the taverngoers felt that there had been altogether too little fighting, and thus began the Great Timber Brawl of 205. This grand melee went on for six days and ultimately resulted in eighteen deaths, bringing our population down from 221 to 203.

(Some people died of their wounds over the following weeks)

Winter, having been welcomed in with such a grand blood sacrifice, was mercifully peaceful, and allowed our dwarves time to rest, recover, and prepare for the no doubt harsh year ahead.

To do:

Assigned by me:

• Finish turning the farmer guildhall across from the new temple into a Grand Guildhall, lest the farmers become discontent.

• Handle the traps, which seem to have caged animals in several places but never been reset. (I’m not totally sure what we wanna do with caged animals. Or troglodytes for that matter, several of which I simply placed in a hallway to get them out of the way so the traps could be reset)

• Seriously work on the military, things are getting spicy.

• Edit: forgot to mention, please fix the caravan access way. I tried to do it myself but it didn’t work. We can’t receive wagons. I’m bad at civil engineering

File (I think I did this right)

(also I put this comment in the wrong thread for a sec lmao)

Beardrenched update: It is the 12th of Timber, 205. A barfight began on the 11th of Timber, about 15 minutes ago. The game is running at 1FPS. The fortress has a population of 221 because I accidentally admitted an entire band of humans I think.

Yep, this is a good reason that you shouldn’t get very small guns a lot of the time. As a general rule, your handgun should be as big as you can comfortably use. If you need to conceal it (which is the correct way to carry unless you have a very good reason for open carrying) then the size of the gun will be limited by the size of your body, as well as the climate (thick layers are better at concealing obviously). Then a secondary concern is the size of your hands. If you’ve got small hands, some guns are too big to comfortably reach the controls. But yeah, with those limiting factors in mind, get the biggest one you can work with because they’re easier to use.

Also, if concealed carry isn’t part of your plan for a gun (like, if you want it for home defense or equivalent only) you want a rifle or a shotgun, fuck handguns. The only benefit of a handgun is that they’re convenient to carry around. If you’re going to be picking it up off a shelf or out of a closet, that’s not a factor.

Don’t be discouraged if you suck with handguns. They’re the hardest guns to use. It’s a mistake to recommend all beginners start there imo.
