The only time that kind of resource issue should be included in an MMO is when it comes part and parcel with "pvp solution to pvp problem" freedoms.
Hes right too + to have a stronger "us vs the dungeon" milieu.
Problem is that now theyre not really built with mine or his points in mind any more.

The dishes have likely been touched by spiders at this point.
Throw the dishes out; burn the house down.

Anyone know why Stinkles was banned?
Checking post history makes that obvious most of the time.

Everyone is a wrestling fan. Some just choose to be more public about it than others.

Honestly I'm not seeing it!
Watch the Naruto quick look. The best part of it is when they start busting out anime wrestling moves.
Probably a shorter ban then.

Finally got around to watching Project Beast and literally what the fuck at that preview?! Can't wait.
A bit too spoiler-y for me, but that's what I get for watching previews.
But yeah, looks incredible.

Yeah, but at the same time it makes me super anxious to know what exactly goes down.
I would have rather it cut at them going "Oh boy" and "That's not good." before they zoomed in. It didn't really show much at that time.

After reading Gita's article and listening to the podcast with her Dwarf Fortress seems interesting as fuck. At least the Legends aspect, sounds weird to actually play.

Think he mentioned buying a house on one of his podcasts? Maybe inbetween at the moment?
Ah yeah that would make sense.
Edit: OK he actually just explained it on the stream... Moved back there in order to save money to eventually buy a house.
Wasn't a major factor in his moving back to Chicago the fact that his father passed away?
They might be between places, yes, but it could be a situation where adult children help to take care of an aging parent who's alone.
I think I just saw the post that led to it because someone quoted it. The post itself got nuked.
That's a solid goof, but as a 26 year old wrestling fan who still lives with his parents...
If it makes you feel better I was just supposing what Patrick's feelings on wrestling fans were, and everybody knows he's a quitter and a loser.

The funny thing is Dan almost had a chance to have Paul Rudd (Ant-Man himself) be on that video.
Didnt Patrick get married and buy a house though? Wasn't that the reason he went back to Chicago?
Also - I feel like I need to shower after this post.

Don't worry, it couldn't be simpler.
That article along with the Stardew Valley talk has actually had me jonesing to get back into DF. But I don't have anywhere near the time for that right now.

If the game could just be made into something with an actual useful UI and look...all of that could be actually fun.
Is this a Big Bang Theory fan fiction?
Wasn't Gnomoria an attempt to kind of be that?
No idea how much it pulled it off, though.

I think the problem on any DF clone is that they just don't go deep enough into all the systems. Hearing stories about DF I can see why that would be hard to do.
Dwarf fortress is fun as fuck. I would recommend adventure mode if you just want to dip your toes and try it out, actual fortress mode is very very hard. Once you learn the controls it's not too hard from a conceptual standpoint. The amount of options you have is truly incredible. You can literally ignore all combat in the game and just start a troupe of bards and perform for royalty. Or you can be a total warmongerer, taking villages and castles and declaring yourself the leader. Maybe you want to be somewhere in between, someone who just wants to roam the countryside hunting rabbits and taking quests to kill the rogue leopard terrorizing a village. You can even go to a necromancer tower, kill the necromancers, steal their book and learn the secrets of life and death to become a necromancer yourself. And I was only listing stuff you can do in Adventure mode!
Then, once you get bored of all this, Toady releases a new update that adds something insane (the most recent update added generated culture, poems, songs, books, etc), which inevitably drags you back in. And that's not to ignore the insane amount of mods, including total conversions that completely change the setting.
Gita's article is great, it illustrates a lot about why the game is so good. People don't just love the game because of the huge difficulty, they also love it because it can create stories. I can remember a lot of my adventure mode and fortress mode saves, maybe not the specifics, but I can see the shape of the fortress in my minds eye, or remember what goal I had in mind when I started them. Even some of my most quickly ended runs.
Sorry to just totally use your post to talk about why I love DF so much. I just want more people to experience this game, it's something special.
Yeah, understood. The superficial management sim aspect would seem to be the easiest part to re-create, and probably the part most people are more interested in anyway.

I'm definitely planning on giving it a try, just not sure if I have the time or the patience to really delve in and learn it.
I would be down for Austin trying to play some on a playdate or something though. I know they played it a while ago with Dave, but don't think the feature lasted long.
Oh yeah I totally understand. I got into Dwarf Fortress over a summer years ago. It took up so much of my time.
I asked this and the answer is, apparently, that Japanese people think German is cool (and Dracula kinda comes from there - it is all Europe whatevers).
As to the second part. Vinny was learning Italian. I believe Drew was learning German.
He went back because he has family there and to one day buy a house. Turns out houses are expensive even in Chicago. He rented somewhere but I guess he wasn't saving enough.
Of course I have no idea how big his parents house is. I assume decent. Not like it will be Patrick, his wife, the dog and his mother all in a one bedroom apartment. That would be a good pitch for a sitcom though. This fall on CBS ...
Wooooow.
I'll definitely be playing it when I get home tonight. Really looking forward to it.
But then again, I'm a person who is happy that I won't see that many other players, has little interest in the Dark Zone, and loved the shit out of playing Borderlands and Borderlands 2 solo, so my opinion is probably worth little.

Hulk was jealous of Trump getting all this penis publicity.
German does sound baller so the Japanese are right again.
I really believe he was trying to learn German at some point and they talked about it on the podcast.
