I'll stick to my car. I don't have to wedge my way through any crowds that way, unless someone wants me to facepunch them with a 3,000 pound block of metal and fiberglass moving at 70+mph.

I AM GOD DAMN FUCKING SICK OF THE GHOSTS IN THIS GAME. FUCK. playing 7 dwarf survival isn't fun anymore when your dwarfs cna get picked off at random from fucking migrants you never wanted in the first fucking god damn place. There needs to be an option to toggle them or some shit, or a way to force them off with DFhack I'm sick of this shit.

You don't like fun?

This is not the DF fun that is !!FUN!! FUN is when you don't know how to hook up the water works and flood the fort, or a dwarf breaks that green glass window holding back a magma reserve, or that forgotton beast climbs in through a way you never expected. FUN hinges on how well you design your fort because you can expect that and find ways to work around it often invent new structures and ideas and presenting them to the community.

FUN is not spending 40 minutes to slab 90+ ghosts only to have your crafter battered and is now missing both a leg and arm effectively bring slabbing to a slow grind. A good feature will keep me up all night playing( which df has alot of, and has probably been why ghosts rarely do make me flip the fuck out ) a bad feature is one that makes me want to put the game away because it's not FUN micromanaging all the fucking ghosts i didn't want to deal with in the first place.

Ghosts are kind of lame, admittedly.

You should at least be able to craft special weapons capable of killing 'em. I remember I used to just set them as dead via Runesmith.

[darklord92]

or at least, if we can't turn them off, a little more warning. we get the occasional message " has risen and is haunting the fortress" but my ghosts have been murderous or violent and do NOT show that message maiming my only 7 now 6 dwarfs/sergals without warning. The attack or outright killing my only notification of a ghost rising in my fort! I can't play like this and i might as well start the file over meticulously slabing every migrant to enter :/

For fuck's sake, now one of the stupid children I am forced to put up for is crying its goddamned lungs out. -_-
There are no laws against overly loud children why, exactly?

[Frumple]

Something something own damn fault should have taken precautions something. Oh, not yours? Own problem being born into family that couldn't. Society wants you to suffer fully experience the rigors of parenthood. Even if you're not the parent. And completely unrelated and uninterested. So. Have fun! Ahahaha!

Seriously though I don't think they actually get loud enough to break noise laws, in most situations. Gotta' love the little sadistic hedonists. Or else.

But nah, kids don't bother me, even the noisy ones. They're like bipedal cats. I appreciate that. E: Because if I didn't, they'd drive me straight barking insane. Jedi mind trick, yo'.

Some foul thirty year old woman had the temerity to ask me for 'some spare change', while she stood in front of me chroming. Then she 'accidentally' slammed the train door on a new migrant, and said "Oh sorry hun, I don't think you're a dog or nuffink." Like she was trying to make a veiled insult.

Scumbags around Stabbies make me rage. I miss Homeless Hip Hop Guy.

I know some people will vigorously disagree with me, but... being around children, even when they're annoying, is an incredibly valuable experience.  I know you're mainly just venting here, but this is a bit of venting for me as well that can hopefully be learned from.  As someone who has never in his life lived in a household without small children, I can pick out people who have had very little exposure to children very quickly.  They are not good at sharing space, and that means many things that go beyond tolerance for children.  They have no ability to filter out distractions, generally despise being aware of the presence of other people that they did not willingly place themselves in the company of, and are less willing to empathize with other people's varying levels of social skill and emotional development.

And here is why it's a vent-worthy issue for me:  To someone who is capable of handling disruptions in their environment, such as a crying child, without freaking out, the person that cannot is infinitely more stressful to be around.  Parents don't get uppity about these kinds of complaints because they think you should love kids unconditionally.  It's because they think that you have an underdeveloped emotional fortitude that is the real disharmony in the situation.

Scumbags are the one thing that gives me pause about moving to the city. There's just such a concentration of them.

Every city should have one of these electronic population signs,
only that it should include how many jerks, scumbags, etc. who exist there.
Then again, as unreliably as technology currently is,
it will probably break down due to the sheer number of such people in every city.

Stabbies is St Albans, part of the western suburbs of Melbourne. Melbourne itself is lovely, and has a pretty low crime rate... but the western suburbs are the Louisiana, the Missouri, the disenfranchised many.

A guy was pulled over in St Albans Park for CARRYING A HAND GRENADE IN HIS CAR.

There's a reason why we call St Albans Stabbies.

Indeed.

Rage today: I am currently sitting on a bench in Wal-Mart, waiting for the driver I'm supposed to be working with today to get here. I was told to be here around 8. They've said "call back in an hour if he doesn't arrive"

I hate Wal-Mart. I hate Wal-Mart. I hate Wal-Mart. I hate Wal-Mart. I hate Wal-Mart.
