I forget what they did to fix that. It was a weird situation all around. Idk if babies and children are a thing in dwarf fortress but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out they had their own similar troubles of the game's mechanisms working as intended to a fault.

Iirc the problem was that the game was treating the amount of beer on a cats paw as a full dwarf sized serving of beer, instead of just like, a little bit. So the cats were consuming an outrageous amount of alcohol by licking their paws. So it was fixed by just, lowering the amount of beer a cat's paw could hold to reasonable levels.

So, what’s the scientifically ideal temperature for hot Dr. Pepper?

Whatever the highest setting on your microwave is

Edit: to clarify please do not put your Dr Pepper in the microwave

The hot Dr. Pepper discussion got me vaguely curious to see if I can replicate the entirely baffling taste sensation of hot Mountain Dew (found an unopened can of it under my passenger seat while cleaning my car in the middle of summer, got dared, seemed fun, results were…inconclusive), so to answer your question….

…yes. But preferably not to the point that it explodes and kills me. :v:

I’m thinking it should be able to handle 140 deg F or so, which is like a decent cup of tea or something. Maybe I’ll try the lemon juice part idk

I have to wonder if there are any documented recipe/ingredient changes since the hot doctor pepper ad that have turned what may have been something possibly okay at the time into a hot mess now

To think this entire diversion started because KCB sleep-yelled at me that I shouldn't drink dr pepper because it's dr pepper lol

Upcoming rimsorld expansion pack (i.e. “dlc”) adds babies and children. Does dwarf fortress have children? I feel like, in a game that allows maddened beavers to break into your starbase and bite the legs off your peons, it’s not as fun when it’s a baby losing their legs

Oh my yes, and with all the horror it implied.

Dwarf mothers would carry their infants in a free hand, and if they were employed in the military not only they would happily go into battle with their child in tow, but also use them like a shield to block attacks with obvious results

Also, a common tactic to deal with overpopulation involved setting up a lever connected to a collapsing room with the knowledge that dwarf children would prioritize pulling levers since they had no jobs

RIP to the original PC version of Dark Souls

https://twitter.com/DarkSoulsGame/status/1584821064420716544?s=20&t=qIZWnSqY1xaqj3NKeyVPCg

This isn't a huge shock--they're not even selling that version anymore--but still, end of an era. The remaster will still have its servers brought back but the original Prepare to Die Edition is offline forever.

Not quite as sad as when the PS3 Demon's Souls servers went down.

Bayo 3 reviews seem pretty okay.

A few really didn't like the game though:

quote:


I don’t know what to tell longtime Bayonetta fans about this game, let alone the newcomers hoping to come aboard with this installment. If all you care about is button-ramming combat that’s similar to Devil May Cry, you’ll have a ball. But if you ever wanted to believe that there was something deeper to Bayonetta’s story — some grander statement about femininity and sexuality and power dynamics — you’ll find the truth to be quite a disappointment. Viola did tell me at the very beginning of this game that it would reveal this fundamental truth to me. I only wish I could have lived in ignorance for a little while longer.

quote:

There are some incredible leaps of character development that we’re supposed to just take on faith while the game abandons two whole games’ worth of established motivations and relationships all in service to the game’s true villain: compulsory heterosexuality.
