It sounds more like we can call female speargoblins "eyepokers" while the male ones are "lungpiercers" or whatever.

Yeah, something like this, I guess.

And now, with modding, we can make our gummy bear civs change flavor whenever they change professions! Mint gummy bears for peasants and swordsmen, and lime for jewelers, and all sorts of tasty fun. Someone needs to revive the candy mod.

It'd be interesting to create a psychedelic mod in which all of the creatures in the game constantly change form, grow and shrink in size randomly, gain the ability to throw fireballs occasionally, become aquatic or land-creatures out of nowhere.. and other interesting things.  And then just start a game and see what happens.  Kittens turning into bronze collosi in the middle of the fortress, and what not.  Good times.

We've moved a day ahead in projections. However, don't forget this averages-in end-of-month-days, and there could always be a surprise like a few hundred getting done in a day, or one item hanging on for a week or two. We'll see.

I doubt it.

This prediction is like those wonderful progress bar indicators when you're installing software: totally meaningless

I bet the progress isn't even monotone (I've seen that on some software: the bar gets close to done... and then goes down to only half-done, then it grows, then it shrinks, repeat).  Toady's got the bug-number to squash at too.

That said, # complete is a great way to maintain motivation.

I would just like to say that my borgle's borgles are *extremely* borgly. They're, like, *huge*.

 Mind you, some people find size somewhat of an iffy issue when it comes to their borgles. When it comes to a borlges borgle, borgleness is much more of a factor.

 And mind you, my borgle is borglier than anybody elses!

I think we're all overlooking something important here.

Dwarves can be fat now.

I wonder if adipose tissue is part of the standard tissue complement now.

Where do I find the counter?
