I had too much fun with that...

I just realized...

I hate /r/dwarffortress. I do not like going there at all.

...Is it the shitposts? But I go to /r/homestuck. I guess that place has about the same shitpost/content ratio as homestuck itself though, while /r/dwarffortress just makes me feel like "this is an incredible piece of software that could be used to do incredible things and you're laughin 'bout boobs or informing everyone of 8-year-old bugs"

i guess it's because i think the point of dwarf fortress is to embellish instead of just parroting what the game's giving out

I like to go there to show off stuff I'm working on

Though the comments I get sometimes really seem to over-estimate the amount of work I actually put in.

yeah, you show up with full 3D visualizer and that's real good

I show up with working in-game button interface and that's... meh, who cares

i mean like obviously the former is more exciting than the latter by pretty much every standard but

is it really worse than three-year-old shitposts about carp and DF's odd definition of crawling????

EDIT: i just confused jens bergenstein for zach weinersmith

for a ginger i sure am prejudiced against them i guess

I spend like half an afternoon getting doors to roate to fit into the openings, and they're all 'are you a wizard'

i'm not sure if people understand just how wonderfully easy tiles make certain things

and how "half an afternoon" is not really a long time for these things heh

Models, too.

In stonesense, making something rotate requires at least a seperate sprite per direction.

In armok vision, all I need to do is rotate the model.

"It is not known if this series converges". I thought the realm of "thing math doesn't know" was firmly outside of simple-looking stuff like that, but apparently not.

Nah, I'm too terrible at math to follow anything like that.

It was a joke, you can't do that for an infinite series, as far as I'm aware. Pretty creepy, though I don't know what the equation means.

csc is just a 1 divided by sinus.

What's funny is that it's known that if you replace the cube there with a power of 9 (or any higher number), the resulting series will converge. But any lower, and it suddenly becomes a mystery

Checker's just screwed up my order. They had a drive-thru order at the same time they were doing mine, and gave me that one. I ate it because it's a 20-25 minute walk round-trip, and the order I got was twice as pricey.
