Congrats Putnam. But what are you actually doing, like what will you be working on?

[hector13]

Dwarf Fortress :p

Good job Putnam.

[pisskop]

What's the very first thing you looked up in the code, Putnam?

[Jopax]

Congrats! DF seems to be having it's second coming with the Steam release, which is so damn awesome to see. Like all those shitty comments on random YT bands going "This should have a billion views" . Except this time it's wholly justified and warranted.

In my continued WTF's  the Facebook wild ride continues. After a single day of furry nonsense we're on to How I Met Your Mother memes (a fine show I liked in highschool but haven't interacted since) and shitty (and I mean SHITTY), and memes relating to Harry Potter fucking Doctor Who of all things. Neither of which I have had any contact or interest in like, forever.

The algorithm ride is wild lads, better strap in.

Harry Potter fucking Doctor Who

You dont say?  The old or new doctor?

A new programmer for dwarf fortress. It's quite amazing. Of course, that's the WTF part, the fact that it's me is nothing but raw, unmitigated excitement on my part.

Oh, damn!! Congrats!


Anyway, I disappeared into the void again, whoops. It's always kinda a mindfuck to come back here, expecting sweeping changes. No, it's the same it's ever been, the same it'll ever be. Whew. I've changed, but these forums never have. Time flies, jeez.

I did Linux From Scratch sysvinit edition, Fedora Linux 35 became 36 became 37, I briefly went into comprehending the beauty of NixOS, I'm still stumbling through university (capitalism sucks, woo!), I got into and out of a relationship (ended amicably, lol), and I realized I'm not a girl...

No, my gender is mostly noise, though I guess if you look in a couple regions, you can see a few peaks of femininity. Mainly, though, I'm aiming for incomprehensibility. God gave me this gender, and now it's everyone's problem! I did some more glitchfuckery during the realization phase. As someone has very kindly pointed out, glitch art is a trans allegory, citing A Trans Historiography of Glitches and Errors.

[None]

Welcome back! We've had big changes for Dwarf Fortress, big revelations for a few other forumites, but largely or collectively speaking, we're the same old us. You're always welcome to a place here.

Congratulations on your gender, you seem well prepared to Linux From Scratch it and I wish you the best in compiling your OG.

That is quite the impressive development. I remember seeing you a lot back in my modding days. Guess your commitment to that community finally payed off.

Congrats, Putnam. Hopefully the game's development goes faster now!

[JoshuaFH]

I think it was always the case that Toady's goal for the game is "perfection", or something close to it that is simply unachievable. But with Putnam's help, they can accelerate towards that unachievable goal twice as fast now.

Hey, nice one Putnam.

Guessing that it's pretty exciting to be working on something you've been interested in for so long?

Congratulations Putnam!

Managed to get a comment removed by Reddit admins for threatening indecent exposure or somesuch.

What was it?

Someone was saying their mum had offered 400K to detransition, my comment was (quotation marks included): "If you're up for negotiating, I'll take 400K and continue to transition"

Apparently that's threatening indecent exposure.

Methinks there's either some mass-reporting going on and a crappy automated system, or a bigot on the admin team.
