Where we kill Kia is a hard science fiction setting built around culture, politics, speculative evolution and military worldbuilding. Where we kill Kia deals with struggles of oppression and imperialism, exploring a wide wake of characters who are - somehow - all tied together. I'm currently working on a TTRPG for this setting called How to kill Kia. Common tags in the tags of this post.

i hate it when game devs put “fixed several issues” in patch notes 

no. tell me what you fixed. i wanna know what the glitch was.

you know those patch notes that are like “fixed an issue where if the player sat in a bush for too long, they’d become the size of a skyscraper” 

i wanna read those. tell me those.

Adjusted value of Bees. Now that was a special one… because every item in the game had a minimum value, and a beehive was a container for bees, which each had a minimum value… which meant the moment one of your dwarves picked up a beehive, your entire fortress’ net worth skyrocketed… a value used in determining how powerful the foes that visit and try to murder you are.

[prokopetz]

Reblogging for the explanation of what “adjusted value of bees” actually means, because I know several folks following this blog have been wondering.

Okay but you’ve all forgotten the best Dwarf Fortress bug of all “Flying creatures give birth in midair, leading to tragedy” 

[probabilitydirigible]

Actually I lied it’s the one where after a major update werewolves and vampires started climbing the nearest tree and refusing to come down. It turned out that he’d given evil creatures the ability to sense each other, but forgotten to set a maximum range on it, so werewolves were aware Hell was underground and trying to flee by climbing

This has to be my favorite patch note ever

[darkenedyeastextract]

btw that Hell thing is not an exaggeration. If you dig deep enough you breach a layer of stone (the inspiration of minecraft bedrock) and there is literally a fully mapped hell dimension there full of demons. People do this for fun as well as to farm hell materials. It’s called getting a visit from the circus.

Tried to remove default maleing things from my brain and this has resulted in me default femaleing some things.

Here's a list of things that I see as woman now.

Cars are sexually dimorphic (thanks, mum)

Cats are women

Spiders are women

Texas approves controversial wildlife rehab rules despite 95% opposition

Supporters call the changes overdue, but many rescuers remain unconvinced. 

Wildlife rehabilitators across Texas are divided after the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission unanimously approved sweeping changes to the state's wildlife rehabilitation program on May 29, despite overwhelming opposition during the public comment process. The new rules, which won't take effect until Sept. 1, 2027, are intended to professionalize wildlife rehabilitation, strengthen oversight and create a clearer pathway for training future rehabilitators. But critics warn the changes could reduce capacity at a time when Texas already struggles to meet the public's wildlife rescue needs. Texas Parks and Wildlife officials said the current system allows someone to become a permitted wildlife rehabilitator by watching a two-hour training video and passing a 10-question exam. "Wildlife rehabilitation has evolved into a highly complex and technical field," Richard Heilbrun, deputy director of TPWD's Wildlife Division, told commissioners. "We have many experienced rehabbers that are talented and knowledgeable, but in thinking about the future, there is very little way for us to transfer that knowledge to new rehabilitators." The adopted rules require future permit applicants to gain hands-on experience before receiving their own permit, create new permit tiers based on experience, require a veterinary consultation relationship and increase continuing education requirements...

Ok, I actually read the article instead of just going off the title of the piece and its so stupidly inflammatory imo.

"The adopted rules require future permit applicants to gain hands-on experience before receiving their own permit, create new permit tiers based on experience, require a veterinary consultation relationship and increase continuing education requirements." - A paragraph from the Chron article

This is so basic. This is basic animal handling permitting. If you're administering medical aid to an animal, you should have experience and a working relationship with a vet just in case the animal needs more care than you can provide. Thats common sense.

The next paragraph goes into the actual training requirements, which I could understand as seeing them being a little steep. 600 hrs of training (15 weeks @ 40 hrs a week) could definitely be a limitation-- but this is for someone who wants to obtain their own permit in order to be a fully fledged rehabber. I sure hope someone who wants to do this as a profession could put the time in. Otherwise the person can work as a subpermittee with another (trained) rehabber. Thats not a crazy ask.

The article has comments from various rehab centers, but most of them seem to not be opposed to the rules, just to how fast they may be implemented or how strict they may become. Most of the comments seem to be about people who want to make sure the process stays accessible, not that they dont like the process.

So all-in-all, it seems like these rules going forward are going to be a boon for Texas rehabbers. I'd be interested to know what people out of the state who have rehab experience think. Im assuming Texas is just behind the standards of other states with more robust programs but maybe they're pioneering new change in the rehab field.

i just woke up from a dream where i was being interrogated by a bunch of people asking me if “furbies are kosher” firstly…. im not jewish. secondly……..what the fuck

[hymnsofheresy]

please stop sending me asks pertaining to the kosher status of furbies. i really do not know. this was just a manifestation of my subconscious. im assuming that they are not kosher because furbies aren’t even food. but who knows! ask a rabbi, if you must. 

[natashatroyka-deactivated201902]

Jew here! Furbies are actually worse than unkosher–they are not permissible as food, even for gentiles. This is because the Torah teaches that it is forbidden for any human to eat the meat of an animal that is still alive, and the Furby cannot die.

[hymnsofheresy]

hi this is the most ominous description of a furby i have ever heard

[vocabulary-altering-posts]

PHRASES ADDED!

“Are Furbies kosher?”

“The Torah teaches that it is forbidden for any human to eat the meat of an animal that is still alive, and the Furby cannot die.”
