Optimism is CHEERFULNESS, and CHEER_PROPENSITY is in there.

Optimists don't have to be cheerful.

Damn Toady, release it already.

Urist Adventurer doesn't really care about anything anymore.

I guess I'll raid this dungeon or whatever. Or not, who cares?

See the wiki page about personality traits:

CHEERFULNESS (Optimism)

91 - 100 often feels filled with joy 76 - 90 can be very happy and optimistic 61 - 75 is often cheerful 25 - 39 is rarely happy or enthusiastic 10 - 24 is a pessimist 0 - 9 is never optimistic or enthusiastic about anything

I disagree with Toady's opinion and/or choice of terminolgy in that case, but it's no big deal. Anyway, I'm sorry for misconstruing your post for supposition rather than DF fact.

I want this genocide button.

Do you think the debug mode (the mode that you use to run around the world and cause mayhem) will be playable? Cause that sounds like tons of fun to me at least.

No worries. If I hadn't checked the wiki in the first place, I'd probably have said that optimism wasn't in the game in the first place. And who knows how cheer works in the next version - in that way, my post may well be premature.

No. Toady never leaves those in.

Exciting to see some big-ticket features getting finished in the dev log.

Now that people are having emotional responses to things in play, does that mean that people can go insane (as in berserk, melancholy, raving mad) in adventure mode? Have the mechanics of insanity changed at all with the new personality stuff?

Fortress Mode insanity is an old placeholder.  It would take some work to align it with the new personalities, and I think if Toady were to work on it at all, he'd rather revamp insanity entirely (which we'd hear about).  So I doubt it.

[Dirst]

Fortress Mode insanity is an old placeholder.

All of Fortress Mode is an old placeholder?

aaaaah I see what you did there.

With the new conversation/speaking system in place, will we be soon seeing inanimate items emitting noise on their own, or when used?

As with many suggestions, it's a good idea but not planned to get implemented at a particular time.

[King Mir]

Instrument use is planned in the tavern arc, so that's sort of a particular time. Emitting noise on their own is not explicitly planned, as far as I'm aware.

I'll commit suicide if there isn't a release before 1st of June.
