About the community; It's terrifying. A conversation about number of programmers affecting the programme's development turns into a conversation about half-sibling-half-sibling relations, relationships and interbreeding.
I'd say I'm surprised, but not that much, only when I think of the jumps needed. While reading it was all... logical. It was inevitable, considering you people.
Definitely best forums I know, when people can keep their cool.
It was inevitable.

I was sniped.

I think the simile has left DF land and gone into pregnancy and relationship discussion.

Anyway, I'm impressed with the update. I can finally take over the world without committing genocide!

Also, the community is terrific.

It is for the best.

So far it seems lacking with only a couple new features - jumping, climbing, sneaking, dialogue, progressive history, combat, trees. All of these aren't really major additions and some are minor re-works of existing functions.

Bold what I thought was the most hilarious.

I guess the idea of a world that progresses as you play is lost on you?

We already had history. Threetoad probably only had to add a couple of codes to make it move.

Yeah we had history, but did it move when a player played the game? beyond the cat bumping into your leg? Did towns rise and fall as you played? Did bandit groups up and leave from the camp where you thought they would be, only to find them in a town "far to the south?"

You're trolling, right? Cause that statement makes so little sense I'm hoping you can't possibly mean it. Please be trolling.

Threads about major changes not working right currently leaving them unimpressed due to bugs...

It was inevitable.  (This has reached meme proportions literally over night  8) )

I love the first few weeks after the test release...nowhere else will you experience the phantom baby armies, flying creatures exploding in gore all over the map and myriads of other wackiness.

The living world is amazing, already I already feel a sense of continuity when going from 1 fort to the next whereas before it felt completely isolated from previous settlements.

The entire two years of development was specifically for adding that "couple of codes". Yeah, you're objectively, factually, egregiously wrong.

There's always going to be someone who makes this thread after every release. It was inevitable.

As someone who doesn't really play Adventure Mode that much, I'm still thankful for the future fun the retiring, unretiring, and retiring adventurers in forts will bring. Ohmygosh the world is activated. I love it. Don't you love it?
And one day when I can actually play Adventure mode without starving to death and getting killed by Bogeymen, I will enjoy it a lot.

But until then.

It is terrifying. The horror.
