HAI GAIZ WHAT UP
ALLCAPS TIEM
We NEED more music!!!
LOOKS LIKE A MUSIC SUGGESTION
I bet Toady could write and add some more music to the game within 3 days. Or, he could just buy the rights to use another person's music in Dwarf Fortress, and have it over with in a matter of hours.
INDEED THIS IS POSSIBLE
THE SOUNDSENSE GUYS WOULD PROBABLY BE QUITE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS
These 3 days is better spent fixing bugs.
IT'S JUST THREE DAYS MAN, CHILL (UNLESS TOADY HAS A WEEK TO LIVE IN WHICH CASE THAT WOULD BE A WASTE OF HALF HIS REMAINING LIFESPAN, OH DEAR)
It amazes me that the most some people ever contribute to the SUGGESTION forum are comments shooting down someone else's ideas.
THIS IS SOMEWHAT CORRECT
You, however, seem completely incapable of independent thought.
OH HEY NOW
DON'T GET EXCESSIVE
I tottaly can imagine the Amazing DF Procedural Ambient Generator with winds and rivers on the surface, and some darkish chords underground, and some evil laugh and screams near HFS, and with a lot of reverb, and with taking into account the surroundings, and all other things, but it's just too much work for Toady.
THAT IS PRETTY COOL
TRUE ABOUT THE WORK THOUGH
ONCE AGAIN, MAYBE THE SOUNDSENSE GUYS COULD HELP?
NICE IDEA
A bad, ridiculous, time-wasting, or otherwise unuseful suggestion is worse than no suggestion, if only because it crowds out the more useful suggestions and crowds up the subforum.
And "incapable of independent thought?" Try "didn't get here for a few pages." And I have come up with ideas, good and bad, and sometimes incredibly detailed...say, the time I came up with an idea for every sphere in a biome form.
I am blunt. I. Am. NOT. Dumb.
HOLD IT
1. INTERNET IS LARGE PLACE
∴ INTERNET CAN HANDLE WASTING OF SPACE, IT'S NOT LIKE A TWO-PAGE THREAD WILL CAUSE THE SERVER TO MELT
2. VERY DIFFICULT TO CITE OWN IDEAS WITH ACCURATE APPRAISAL OF IDEA QUALITY
I KNOW WHAT LONG PROJECT IS LIKE
HALFWAY THROUGH YOU START THINKING
"WAIT THIS WASN'T THE BEST IDEA"
"BUT I AM SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE"
"I'LL JUST FINISH IT IN IMPERFECT FORM"
3. POSTING USING FREQUENT PERIODS (LIKE. THIS. ETC.) WORKS IN VERBAL COMMUNICATION
IT DOES NOT WORK IN TEXTUAL COMMUNICATION
THE MIND DOES NOT IMAGINE AN EPIC PAUSE BUT RATHER A JAGGEDY MONOTONE
WE CANNOT READ INFLECTION
IT SOUNDS LIKE LAME TVTROPES PAGE
4. IT IS VERY EASY TO THINK OF YOURSELF AS SOME SORT OF LIGHT-SWORD OF BLUNT PURITY IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE NOT SAYING THINGS TO PEOPLE'S FACES
BELIEVE ME, I KNOW ABOUT THIS
YOU ARE NOT LIKE THE WITTY UNASHAMED ANIME CHARACTER WHO SAYS FUNNY TABOO THINGS OUT LOUD, CAUSING MIRTHFULNESS
YOU ARE LIKE SOMEONE WHO HAS GONE A LITTLE TOO FAR AND IS HAVING A BIT OF TROUBLE RECOGNIZING IT
SERIOUSLY, YOU HAVE TIME TO REVIEW WHAT YOU POST
PEOPLE ENJOY WHEN YOU ARE NICE TO THEM AND EVERY SERIOUS SUGGESTION HAS GOOD INTENTIONS
Sphere? As in the game's procedurally generated deities? I got a deity who's sphere was pregnancy. So you think overhauling biomes to include one where all the animals are pregnant is something that's useful?
This is a giant pregnant dingo leather cloak.
The Weretapir Dishmabtutob has come! It is a tapir twisted into humanoid form! Beware its poisonous afterbirth!
You're so right, that's totally better than music. And it wouldn't take much time for Toady to do. After all, he'd only have to scrap and redo the entire world generation algorithms. And its stupid because this game is more real than cinematic. Have you ever sent out a squad of wrestlers? You should try it some time.
NOW YOU
ARE GETTING A BIT OUT THERE
I DON'T GET HOW THE SPHERES IDEA WOULD WORK EITHER
BUT THE GAME HAS MANY, MANY FANTASY ELEMENTS IN IT AND IGNORING THEM IS SILLY
FANTASTIC CREATURES ROAM THE PLANET IN REALMS OF BLINKING GROUND COVER AND FEATHERED TREES, A FAR CRY FROM THE COLD STEEL OF THE DWARVES
REDOING THE BIOMES WOULD TAKE FOREVER, THOUGH
HMM
ExecratedDwarf: I didn't choose random crap, I actually went to each sphere and thought of how it could meaningfully affect gameplay. And Toady has said he'd like to replace generic good, evil, etc biomes with sphere-based biomes.
GREAT
HE'LL IMPLEMENT HIS OWN INTERPRETATION THOUGH
SO YOUR SUGGESTION IS MEANINGLESS
AND USELESS
EVERY SUGGESTION IS USELESS
THE GAME DEV WILL NEVER USE AN IDEA HE DOESN'T COMPLETELY AGREE WITH IN UNALTERED FORMAT
SO TAKE IT EASY
IT'S JUST A MUSIC THREAD
You know all you accomplish with crap like that is to make yourself look bad, and to bump the thread you apparently detest so much.
THIS IS THE DARK SECRET OF THE FORUM
LOOK UPON IT, AND WEEP
One thing Toady could do is have more things post to a log for SoundSense (or any other utility) to read. There's probably all sorts of events that don't currently output any text that could be taken advantage of.
Overall, though, there's not much point in Toady implementing something that's already been pretty well implemented by somebody else. I mean, look what happened with Notch.
I WOULD ENJOY MORE FLAGS THAT COULD CAUSE EVENTS
ESPECIALLY WITH MODDING
YOU COULD MAKE ORGANIC MINE-GRASS IN "CORRUPTED" REGIONS FOR THE POST-APOCALYPSE MOD
YOU COULD MAKE INORGANIC SOLID SYNDROMES WORK CORRECTLY, IF EVERY TOUCH OF A URANIUM INGOT COULD CAUSE URANIUM DUST TO DISLODGE AND CAUSE SYNDROMES
IMAGINE!
ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH NOTCH
I'm quite frankly amazed at how many people are saying Toady should just put off music for another ten years, despite how he could get it out of the way forever in a matter of days. It's like saying you should build a house's frame, add flooring, paint the walls, furnish it, move in, and THEN add shingles to the roof.
HE COULD GET ANYTHING OUT OF THE WAY FOREVER IN A MATTER OF DAYS
IT'S LIKE SAYING YOU SHOULD BUILD A GIGANTIC STACK OF MANY VARIOUS PIECES OF ALL DIFFERENT SIZES AND MATERIALS BY ONLY PLACING THEM WHERE THEY WILL BE SUPPORTED BY OTHER PIECES
OF COURSE, ONCE THE STACK GETS BIG ENOUGH, THERE ARE MANY PLACES WHERE PIECES COULD GO, SO YOU DO THEM ARBITRARILY
I LIKE MY METAPHOR A BIT MORE
And GreatWyrmGold, almost every time you post I become more convinced that you're a troll.
A PERSISTENT ONE THEN
I DON'T LIKE TO BRING POSTCOUNT INTO THIS BUT ONLY THE MOST DOGGED TROLL WOULD SPEND 5000+ POSTS ON THE SET-UP
AND WE ARE DONE!
MUSIC!
IT CAUSES ARGUMENTS!
OKAY THEN
PS3 OR XBOXCOKE OR PEPSIEDWARD OR JACOBGO!
NOW CHECK YOUR ANSWERS!
