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.

Welcome to Hexcraft! A Virtual Tour
(hexbear.net)
hello everyone and welcome to the virtual tour! i'd just like to show everyone what we've been doing on the server and what's to come
let's start off with the developing town of Serygrad/Chapograd/Whatever the fuck they are going to call it! this community is being built literally from the ground up by none other than master architect and engineer @Seryph@lemmygrad.ml @LittleSery
say hi Sery!
it currently has half a train station, a full library, a functioning depot and two gay parrots! i cannot wait to see how this place turns out
this is the first of our trains. this one connects Serygrad to the town of Shadehaven. let's take a ride. ALL ABOARD!
enjoy the first-class amenities in our one-car train and relax as the centrally planned rail system efficiently takes us to our destination
along the line, we have a cute little picture to mark the city limits. hi Lenin!
welcome to Shadehaven Station!
enjoy the gothic ambience of our first-ever train station
right outside the station, the cherry trees accentuate the gothic vibes of the city. it's truly beautiful at night if you get past the gangs of roving phantoms trying to murder you
this is Shadehaven! it was originally built from the bones of a village into the sprawling behemoth it currently is (#5 if you want to be exact),
entirely because of the efforts of the dedicated community. everyone on here is a legend and i appreciate them immensely
the users on this server are so talented, bringing technological advancements that blend the virtual and real world. hi @ashinadash@hexbear.net!
it's seriously so impressive. is there any limit to what we can't d- oh. fuck off.
anyway. this is our town square! i love coming back to town because it's such a relaxing atmosphere
can you believe this started out with like 3 villagers and a witch?
the natural build gave us a leg up and the infrastructure they left us has been built upon and improved immensely
i love this place.
we even have a castle! obviously the crown jewel of our town, it is a majestic beacon of progress
oh. @PurrLure@hexbear.net please explain this.
inside you can hear the groans of a villager and some kind of animal. this fucking sucks.
why are you here, you dweeb? just leave. fuck off
maybe it's not all bad. you know what they say, behind every closed door is
a stinky mule.
and that concludes our tour! time to rest outside my cabin. i'm just gonna sit here and ignore the fact that all of that bullshit is literally down the street from me

So the Pokemon forum Smogon was named after the German name for Koffing as a reference to Nazi gas chambers
(hexbear.net)
It has come to light that the original logo in 2004 was a Koffing with a Swastika instead of the normal crossbones thing

Video by cecilily - We need to talk about the Nazi past of Smogon
This is so outrageous it seems fake, but they adressed it last year and decided not to change the name which is peak

Favourite area in the stalker trilogy?
(hexbear.net)
Mine is agoprom underground as it was the first proper showcase in the series of the dynamic lighting from torches and muzzle flashes along with a wide array of things to fight in the tight dark corridors.

Yo have you nerds seen Nimbus in Destiny 2?
(hexbear.net)
I'm not non-binary so I can't vouche for this as representation but I unironcally adore this character which is weird cos they're absolutely marvel gag line pilled and you'd think that would be annoying...
But it ain't!
They are genuinely just a fun and really likeable character and just hearing in game characters use they/them like it was second nature and not effort was so refreshing to experience.
I mean I say all this and I'm not enby so like enbies let me know if we rate Nimbus or not 
They seem to grate on the main destiny fanbase on 
which i always consider praxis.
But I mean these people decide everyone they like is a cis lesbian with a few token bisexuals and gave trans people fucking oryx the wet bug lad from fundament as representation and not like any of the exos which feel a lot more adjacent to transness than a evil wet bug 
erghhhh i hate.
