I'm curious, when is someone going to try to introduce Grate to Dwarf Fortress?

He might find it entertaining.  I know, I know, hard to believe that some people actually like that game.  But there is that slim possibility.  We wouldn't want our son to be happy.  Happiness would cause him to gain false hope.   Also, I don't think he knows how to read yet.   How is he going to play a game where the graphics themselves are text based?

Do you see a Happiness stat up there? I don't, which means it either doesn't exist or is a negative skill.

The stat isn't called Happiness, but I'm damn sure as soon as lil' Grate becomes smart enough to understand the words "social darwinism", it will be a negative stat and it will be VERY NEGATIVE.

So, continue on with FENCING LESSONS.

Actually, it's better to mentally scar them earlier, they're more receptive to it and you don't have to do it as much.
SCARY ASS BOOK LEARNIN' TIME.

+1 I would have preferred him to learn to kill with his bare hands first, but he has to learn all the killing arts at some point. If others would agree, we could amend this to kendo, or even ninjutsu, so he can become a proper 90's antihero, but I'll support the original idea otherwise.

Teach Grate to read.
Using lots of scary stories and ancient mythology and whatever else, just so long as he learns to read.

[Xanmyral]

Actually, yeah fencing sounds awesome. But let's make it German Longsword Fencing, that's the best sort of fencing.

-1 to fencing. If the boy's gonna learn how to use a blade it needs to be a knife and he needs to learn how to fight with it. You might not always have a suitable fencing weapon, but you can always carry a knife. Maybe when he's older, yeah?

+1 to reading suggestion, and also keeping the orphans around. I'll need them soon.

[Sindain]

You might not always have a suitable fencing weapon,

Says you, whats the point of raising a homicidal god of business if we don't make sure he can always kill someone in a fancy way?
+1 to the German Longsword Fencing!

[Hapah]

Spoiler: What I hope Grate grows up to be! (click to show/hide)

We have to get him the guns later, but he's just two. I needed the orphans to start dealing Grate-brand addictive candy to get his shady empire running early, but noooo, we gotta learn to read.
