Hexbear Plays Dwarf Fortress: Year 6 (105-106)
(hexbear.net)
Apologies for the length, I was just really enjoying the opportunity to write some slopping wet prose. I'll organize the journal entries by month and link them here.
State of the fortress in brief
Everything’s going pretty much fine in the fortress. I reorganized the military and have the squads patrolling between the two cavern entrances in shifts. At any point the bridges could be raised, but I left them open to encourage fun.
One thing that I didn’t mention in the journal is that there are some warm walls in the lower caverns, which should indicate there’s a source of magma for future efficient industry and mischief.
There were only two dwarf deaths that I can recall, as well as a birth or two. There was one moderate wave of migrants. I mostly let the upper fortress run itself, save for a little shuffling and building of guildhalls. The Countess either has all her needs met or only needs a little more in her bedroom. I had thought about reorganizing some of the offices, but I didn’t really get around to that.
A number of rose gold coins have been minted. A small amount of bismuth bronze was made, I used some to decorate The Rose Chamber, which I intend to serve as a reliquary and landmark. It would also serve as a very fine temple complex for the local Stigilite sect, but it didn’t seem quite right for the roleplay and I didn’t want dwarves to be pulled up and down the fortress to visit it too much.
So far the military has been able to tackle pretty much everything the caves have thrown up and probably won’t struggle against anything that isn’t made of very hard materials or producing toxic gas. The elves might get pissed if tree-cutting picks back up, probably not a huge concern unless someone wants to maintain peace for whatever reason.
Suggestions for future players are to keep digging down, gain access to magma, and set up new industries like glass (if sand can be procured) or dyeworks.

Long dark hair? Brown eyes? You're probably the love interest in a PS1 Final Fantasy game
(hexbear.net)
Garnet/Dagger almost has the same exact hair as Tifa for most of the game

In all fairness, all three had very different personalities and even classes

Flycast is pretty sick for any Dreamcast heads.
(hexbear.net)
On a whim (since I've been playing PSO on the PC) I decided to download a Dreamcast emulator and muck around with some games. I feel like I'm back in middle school and it's 2000 raising my chao babies and playing some sonic.

Still playing PSO on the Ephinea private server. Messing around with the free camera mode.

"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda
(www.eurogamer.net)
Libs are angry 
about it, as expected.
When you point out that this is no different from all those US military propaganda games, they are quick to bring up that this is uniquely evil because it covers a currently active war. As if there weren't a bajillion military games set in the Middle East during the "War on Terror". 
They truly have a selective memory.

Ok Japan, now you're just taking the piss

Cid from Final Fantasy 9 was 35?! THIS GUY, with the steely grey beard and glorious regal moustache?! He's clearly 20 years older than that!
As an adult I thought it was kind of funny that Steiner, at 33, is the designated doddering fussy comic relief old man of the party but this is just nuts.
I keep being confounded by the way Japanese media treats age. 6-21 is prime adventuring age, you're practically done at 25 and afterwards you should just shuffle off to a retirement home
