nono, this is sentient meat.

what you are describing is the meat of sentients.

No, that still results in the meat of a sentient.  Sentient meat would be trying to grab your fork and escape.

Item clouds are a material emission exactly like dragonfire, magma crab basalt rocks and FB dust.

I did say it was a random thought.

Crazy idea (well, this is DF anyway) that I had last night. Could you use item clouds to have a dwarf (or some other creature) breathe anvils with the item cloud? If not, then what are item clouds limited to (like what things can't an item cloud make/use)?

Ahh yes-- Biovitasteaks.
Of course. My bad.

Eaten alive, and raw. Because things you kill yourself always taste better.

Item clouds IIRC can use any item but they are, in fact, clouds, which means that the results are probably not what you're expecting. They're more spatter than item.

Thanks!

Now that you're (technically) finished with the release (as of this post, at any rate), what's the new version number going to be? 0.38? 0.40?

Yeah, it has settled on something now.

Haha, love this answer, still lets me keep guessing until the release actually comes out.

I give it 50% 0.39, 20% 0.38, 15% 0.40, 10% 0.37, 5% 0.41.

0.40.01 or bust!

And I'm pretty sure Toady told us that item breaths are harmless right now. So, neither do we get menacing manticore spikes, nor do we get anvil cloud concussions.

Surely there's enough new content to make it to 0.42.

I nominate .404, just because it will be comically silly.

for how long it's been between releases, it'll feel more like .403 though...

Cloud of anvils though...... And I know that the item breaths are harmless right now, unless you have it be some material so hot or so cold that it damages critters.

[Baffler]

I'd go .412, personally. I'm just glad it won't be .402.

[Putnam]

...the version after 0.99 will be 1.00, so no, it won't be any of those

It'll be 0.zx.01, where z is either 3 or 4 and x is more than 4 if z is 3.

[PDF urist master]

out of curiosity, I wonder what Toady's planning to add after this release.
