Oh, are you taking it off? Yeah. What else can I do? You won’t move out of this room. What? It’s you who refuse to pick another room.

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

Really happy that King Gus being gay is coupled so well with his whole plot about being a king and not having a direct heir! Like obviously Luis is right and gay people can have kids and also we’ve already seen that trans people exist in this world and are somewhat accepted but it’s a fun radical act in this place where feudalism still runs the land (and we see with Julien that there’s intense pressure for nobles to breed and have many heirs) for Gus to essentially be saying “I’m not taking a wife or having a kid even though it’s supposedly practical and pragmatic and I will be doing old Celtic tradition stuff by passing the throne to my nephew”. Just really well put together stuff from Brennan

Truly, the level of reclamation and the build-up of Hal’s play is giving me chills.

The Pariah blades are no longer hidden away in a museum. They’ve been soaked in the freed blood and spirit of the people who forged and wielded them.

They are in the hands of Rungjani, clanging in the streets of Dol-Makjar, calling the people to witness a story.

The Hallowed Round is also covered in the liberated blood of Rungjani. Blood held captive for centuries now shapes the forms and faces of Rungjani, captives who strove and died, but did not fail, because their rebellion was a step forward on the path toward freedom.

The play is going forward, with no influence from the Creed. Everyone in the city will see it in its true form— a story of rebellion.

It makes me think of the Falconer’s Rebellion, another failed rebellion. Two rebellions that failed with the fall of a single great man.

But there were nine blades used in the Rebellion that succeeded. Decades later, the Lloy name is held in highest honor as the creators of the Blades, not the wielders.

It makes me think of Uli saying, “I know now that those who sang songs in this place, even if the words were meant to soothe [Azgra’s] wrath and keep our lives in propitiating his fury; the melody, the dance, the fury and the passion, that was always for us.”

It makes me think of Demodus, saying that things have to start as an illusion first.

It makes me think of Thaisha, speaking a Rungjani blessing, blessing the Conqueror, “for in his appetite, he saw Aramán forever changed from what it was to what it might be. A blessing to him, then, that the Rungjani reject peace in favor of a dream.”

Why do we tell stories?

I think I know. And I’m very excited for opening night.

"I died, I don't have to do that anymore!"

i'm wondering just how much of azune's breakdown was genuine and how much of it was engineered to evoke sympathy from murray and occtis.

oh, i do think that his emotions were genuine. he is scared. he doesn't like lying so much. he doesn't know what will happen to him in that meeting. but i find the timing of it so suspect. azune compartmentalizes. he avoids. he buries his emotions so that he can function as efficiently as possible. he saw the sister he thought forever gone dying on the floor in front of him and rallied enough to usher everyone around only minutes later. he broke down about thjazi's death only after everyone was safe, and he was alone with hal. azune does not break down in the middle of a job.

unless it's useful.

we know he likes to lie with half-truths. telling einfasen that thjazi made him fight or that he saw that one arcane marshal taking money. he says the technical truth in a way that makes it, for all practical purposes, a lie.

and all of those lies are for the cause. to save the city. to continue the rebellion. to make the sundered houses fight each other. and all of those causes are in jeopardy because he doesn't have a witness for what the tachonis did.

except occtis, who is conveniently there, and demodus, who is under murray's protection.

and it works! occtis is, i think, too pragmatic to risk himself just for azune, but murray isn't! murray has pragmatism, yes, but she also has so much care for the people around her, and so much guilt about azune specifically, and she knows that azune's right. someone needs to talk.

and so azune has a breakdown at a very convenient time and ensures demodus will be there to cast the tachonis in the worst possible light.

azune's cause endures.

azune is so Interesting To Me

his own measurement of personal success correlates with how much he believes he is helping his cause. at the same time, he is deeply insecure and seems to desire nothing for himself. hence, he lies so effectively when the lie serves the cause, yet his disdainful view of himself doesn’t let him gain satisfaction from the lie. in his mind, he is a horrible person doing horrible things, even when his actions serve Good.

and this is so interesting when paired with demodus’ idea of illusion, or with thjazi’s aptly-named liars’ blade. demodus and thjazi were comfortable in their illusions and lies, letting them become self-expression, where azune never lets himself relax. to azune, a lie is a sin, a burden of the soul, deployed precisely to a target.

man… azune makes me wanna write a dialectical analysis of c4… illusion/truth has been such an interesting theme of the campaign so far and i can’t wait to see where it goes

i love it when italians argue about italian. like we don’t even know how our language really works we just roll with it

[frocio]

[iphisesque]

Italian is 107 different provincial languages stuck together with spit and half a prayer

My bf lives in another region and we are constantly arguing about regional variations of words and we both live in the fucking north of Italy

[putaemo-cional]
