IN DWARF FORTRESS YOU HAVE TO WORRY IF YOUR LIVESTOCK MIGHT BE GAY WTF

the military future of my fort relies on the heterosexuality of these two turkeys and they do NOT seem interested in each other

you can play with just the ascii graphics for free

Bay 12 Games: Dwarf Fortress

it keeps up to date with the steam version

#dwarf fortress #and its also wonderful to be able to quickly realise that Bim had lost an entire arm gelding a sheep #instead of figuring it out way later when you needed him to fight a troll with nothing but a featherwood shield because he cant equip an ax

this is literally just a me thing, but I think the pixel art graphics are generic as hell, and the ascii graphics are a vibe

i like having to imagine what my rooms actually look like

I think the graphic ultimately just makes it easier to differentiate Urist and Bomrek who both otherwise would've been nothing more than blinking grey asciis and you can't tell if Bomrek's finally going to start engraving the tavern or Urist's drinking hard after a long day at the forge.

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

damianmcgintleman

he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!

equalistmako

you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce i’d probably be bitter enough to steal christmas too

Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft - an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.

My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the resulting breakup song.

Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?

prokopetz

Yes.

DAMN IT WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS BACK YOU HEATHEN

Why is this on my dash?

princeanxious

…..I’m.. Bothered? by the fact that I’m not bothered by this.

randomslasher

You’re not bothered?? I’m not only not bothered, I’m freaking invested. I’m having actual empathetic sadness for The Grinch. I want them to go into couple’s counseling. I want the “ten years later” when Tony visits Whoville on business and meets the reformed Grinch whose heart has grown 3 times its usual size. I want them to reminisce over a shared dinner of roast beast and wine, then spend a drunken night together, then realize that maybe things are different and people really do change. I want a 3-act story where there’s a long dark night of soul searching and the realization that maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance.

The notes on this post were so toxic that staff just axed em

1969.........

harperhug

Yes, when the original post is deleted from the server (not just the blog, but the Tumblr servers), there is no root post for notes to be added onto, and also no root post for time to be counted from, so it starts from zero. Most computer operating systems use Unix, which was launched in 1971 with t.he epoch date of midnight on January 1, 1970 as 1. Therefore zero is one second behind that date: December 31, 1969. Also, very unfortunately, this also means nobody except you and anyone you reblog it to will see this explanation, as you cannot open the notes to see comments when there are no notes.

hey I wonder what happens if I put powdered milk into carbonated water

my cereal is loud and it's demanding to know why I would sin against both nature and god so thoughtlessly

catgirlwheels

...how does it taste?

writingtoolofdubiousintegrity

bad

the fizz comes from carbonic acid in the water splitting up into CO₂ and H₂O over time. And carbonic acid is – as an acid – sour.

By adding milk to sour water you've created a very convincing emulation of spoiled milk, so I'll believe in a heartbeat that the taste is Not Great™.

I have mastered the potion: Instant Spoiled Milk, therefore earning the rank of shittiest alchemist currently alive.

You know how scary it is when heavy machinery suddenly go silent without any alarms? Unnerving. Paranormal kind of scary. Something is Horribly Wrong and not even the machines know what it is. What am I but a feeble flesh engine trying to navigate a gaping maw made of twenty tons of steel that can close up with no notice?

Turns out it was my fucking tinnitus and everything was just fine. Ok very cool buddy.

only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for

there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs

I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows

happy world frog day, 50 frogs to go until we hit 8,000 species described!!

@markscherz

There is a small but real chance I will get to Do The Thing. Watch this space.

#project hail mary #it is good

For clarity: it is a question of timing and luck, and is out of my hands. My coauthors and I have something like 15 new species under review or in press right now, but so do at least a dozen other teams of amphibian taxonomists, I’m sure. I did have the honour of describing the 8000th amphibian species added to Amphibian Species of the World back in 2019 (it was Anodonthyla eximia). It seems almost too much to ask that I would have the luck to describe the 8000th frog, too!

liquid-truth

We await the 8000th frog

#frog

Sometimes you need to watch something like Project Hail Mary to remember that not everything made nowadays are shit

Do frogs yearn?

They yearn for dew on mushroom caps; for butterflies with laboured flaps; for the ooze of mud between their toes; for nights of stars and firefly glows; for dappled light upon their logs; for rain that fills their cozy bogs, to make them happy little frogs.
