You're both being ridiculous. Toady is amphibious, he doesn't need to come up for air!

What I think we're saying is we need dwarves to riot and break things more often.

Nope, adult toads don't have gills, only tadpoles; once the tadpole matures into a toad, it loses the ability to breathe water in exchange for breathing air.

Some adult toads and frogs hibernate underwater, slowing their metabolism, and breathing through their skin.
Toady will be ok for the next few months.

But hibernation means they're barely doing anything. A coding spree hopefully means the opposite.

(Don't forget to take breaks, Toady!)

Hey toady, not to nag but:

Do you think you could prioritize fixing the bug where pulped body parts still function? I think this is a terrible bug which ruins all forms of combat in the game.


Piggybacking on this question:

With pulping, it seems like there are lots of injuries that are not easily sorted with a splint and some stitches - are there any plans to incorporate amputation of mangled limbs? Thanks for the great work!

and adventure. I'm wondering if it's going to be a thorough, heavily moddable system tied up with the thought rewrite, written more or less in character, or it's going to be abstract (The vampire makes a jokes referencing events 300 years ago. It is scintillating) like books. Or even if he'll use a chatbot. (Please use a chatbot)

I bet on prewritten sentences indicating emotions, like now in adventure mode (and rarely combat reports in fort mode). But I would be fine with abstract.

Dwarf Fortress: Now with 119 emotions!

It's like one of those Minecraft taglines.

Stress/stability is a much better meter, considering what happens when dwarves get to low happiness in the current versions.

and oh my god 119 eleme-- er, emotions. Emotion elements. The periodic table of dwarfy emotions! With "types"... yes, I can see a periodic table of the elements equivalent here.

...

is this going to blow up into another session of feature creep though

and what's the version number gonna be like, I wonder

What are the 119 emotions?

The 6 emotions present in dwarf mode were horror, terror, fear, shock, grief, and rage.  What were the remaining 10?
