Dwarf Fortress bug reports are incredible. Since this is lemmy I'm sure people have heard of the alcoholic cats but it's a fun reread
I vaguely remember that part of the problem was the game didn't differentiate between licking a small amount of ale and drinking a whole glass. So the cats were basically chugging a beer each time they cleaned their paws
This might be the best advertising I've seen for this game, and now I want to try it.
It's on sale on steam right now. I said screw it and am diving in mostly blind, only watched one video on steam after reading this post. Wish me luck
Good luck bit you won't be able to dive in blind, it's far to complex to do it without tutorials and so on. It's a bit hard to get into it initially as the learning curve is steep and the UI clunky. (I played several years ago though so hopefully it improved) Also just for people to know the game is open source and free (like in free beers) if you don't want to buy it on steam. On Steam you support the developers though
