Hmm, I don't quite remember the Brig being such a potty mouth

NetHack dungeon level generation, animated:

Sunday Afternoon

This raises more questions the more I look at it. I mean, the rather large joysticks, sure. Laser gun, OK. The hand I have no idea. My brain is too ruined by the Internet to guess its actually innocent purpose And then there's the... threshing machine on the back?

Finally got to see Backrooms tonight, after the last theater having a water main break on the preview night. I mean, I'm a big Backrooms fan, and Kane Parsons' youtube stuff in particular, so I was never going to /not/ like this. But even then, it was far better than I expected it to be.

"You smell fish." Every now and then, Nethack will throw out a message that I've never seen before, even after 20+ years of playing it. As far as I can tell, a monster on the level out of sight just changed into a sea creature of some kind, either by poly trap or potion

i can't believe the official white house account would post this

He's so irritated he hasn't got a train track to tie her to

Join us in July for a very special episode of "Whatever happened to..."

lmao

Kind of a useless product then, given humans are supposed to be the ones using it

Quote with a fictional band that is not spinal tap

Oh no, they spotted us? Our crack team of stealth dwarves, boozed up and in full plate armor, stealing their dragon-sized giant hippopotamus? Damn, I thought we'd slip under their radar

Oh, we stole them! I forgot I'd sent out a raid to a nearby goblin forest retreat. Two giant dingoes as well. Polar-bear sized!

I have no idea from where, but my latest dwarf fortress has acquired two giant female honey badgers. They're listed on the livestock tab. I haven't bought any livestock. I can only assume they arrived with some migrants. Wiki says they're the size of lions, so who am I to argue? They live here now

daaaamn london

David Tennant. Might as bloody well, he's in everything else

hey john. its your cousin marvin. marvin cage! you know that new sound youve been looking for? well listen to this *hangs up phone*

Just posted Dwarf Fortress 53.13. Your messengers can make peace, declare war, seek alliances, make contact, and improve trade relations now. Also various optimizations etc.

Dwarf beekeepers are very diligent, they count them every morning

Caves of Qud (2024)

They should make a tabletop version of Dwarf Fortress. It'd come with 200 boards for the different z-levels, and take around 18 hours to set the game up. Then you can start Worldgen.

When Dwarf Fortress says a book 'could only have been produced by a merciful spirit', I can never tell if that's complimentary or derogatory

I'm gonna save so much money not buying 90% of new games

A miserable pile of secrets

the more I think about it, the more I feel like “Odysseus is from Boston” is true in a sort of ecstatic truth way

Oh, which one is he? On the left?

The all-time classic for 'so close to getting it'

Nethack was the first roguelike I got into, the first one I learned a lot about, the first one I ascended. 20 years later, I've ascended every class in the game at least once, and I'm still excited we have a new version. It's like revisiting your childhood home, everything is where you expect it

Was mildly outraged looking at the Nethack patch notes when I saw "If the game reaches turn 1,000,000,000 game will automatically end". HATE that, hate time limits on games. Then I realized my longest, most idle win took under 200,000 turns.

Well, I'm never going to NOT applaud a new version of Nethack dropping nethackwiki.com/wiki/NetHack...

Yes, having all the cards is definitely the goal of Uno

In the course of my work day, happened across a shitty car info site at 'an used car dot com'. Or, if you prefer like myself, 'anused car dot com'

Marilyn Monroe, the last attractive woman they could think of

Rewriting the ending of Of Mice and Men so that George and Lennie open a successful petting zoo

I started reading the discworld books when there were like, four of them. To say they're a big part of my life is an understatement. And they continue to be so. GNU Terry Pratchett, today and every day

this photo of kid rock giving a speech at the pentagon about the strait of hormuz has really solidified in my mind that the united states is the least intelligent place on earth.

With all the kerfuffle this morning, I almost forgot: Happy Ed Balls Day, to all those who celebrate

The entire local subreddit is just people posting pictures of hailstones they're holding

Props to @lunameow.com ,who ran outside in this and got the car into the garage while I was still working. Gonna have a few bruises to show for it

Yard full of hailstones the size of cricket balls, car has a shattered windshield and looks like Bonnie and Clyde drove it, no power or internet. How's your morning going?

"their shared brush with death", LMAO give me a fucking break. The assassination equivalent of a tornado watch

Rhythm. I wouldn't have it right now without autocorrect. It STILL doesn't look right
