Biweekly threads sound good to y'all? Should it be weekly?

Thread Question 1: What's the weirdest deck you play? Thread Question 2: What's the weirdest deck you've played against? Thread Question 3: What's the weirdest deck concept you've got in your head?

Forgot to post this last week, sorry about that. Anyway I've been playing a lot of minecraft and civilization 4. Hope everyone has had a good weekend 😘

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.

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 !

the server is intended for hexbear and lemmygrad users. to get on the allow-list and get the ip, just dm me. i do a quick vetting of acct so if ur acct is new or ur a lurker you’ll have to wait while i figure some stuff out (ill update this post when we’re accepting new users and lurkers)

the modpack were using is here

thank you to the owner of the server for being so generous and hosting us! and thank you to the two users who worked on the modpack!

happy minecrafting gaymers!!

EDIT: Holy shit thanks so much whoever made the $19.17 donation

*oops i apologize to comrades for earlier title

It was super (mario) controversial at the time, he put his career on the line and evangelical groups wanted his head, but he ended up being on the right side of history.

He showed that giant turtle dragon dinosaurs of any orientation can make it to the top, and be flung face-first into a spiky floating sky mine.

Only played it for a few hours but I'm digging the setting and the level design. Combats a bit wonky but it's been fun playing as a sneaky rogue type which is my fave build.

Check it out.

This game is super queer, and it proves that people complaining about wokeness ruining games are full of shit.

Seems like Grincher can corrupt save data. So, do not open any mail from Grincher, leave any room you see Grincher in, and do not join any room with a 1,000 player limit called "Grincher's Happy Room". This is not a joke.

Edit: Kicking Grincher from your game does not work, they are not affected by the kick action.

The portrayal of m1nx.

You expect the place to be chuddy nightmare like modern troll spaces tend to be. But these guys are more like the old-school lefty hackers. It's a side of the internet not often portrayed in modern media, especially when 40 year old Connie finds them out and posts on their forum, they don't harrass her, they're more impressed than anything. (It's also worth noting a lot of the first programmers and hackers were woman as it was considered woman's work.)

Particularly re3koning_inc, who while seemingly abrasive, they're only really snide towards Dylan Merchant and Merchantsoft in general, and when you consider what happens in the game you can see the rudeness is completely justified. re3koning_inc also sends people free copies of Merchantsofts Hypnocure Pro after Merchantsoft took away functionality of certain pages and made it so you could only see them with their pricey pro version of the antivirus. re3koning_inc is also the one that finds proof that Hypnospace is dangerous before anyone else, and tries to warn everyone (and was sadly ignored). They're a type of character I have seen many times during my many years on the internet, but one I almost never see portrayed in media.

What a great fucking story this game has.

!howdy-skull

Looks pretty complete to me !screm3

Youtube link in case Yewtube doesn't work

This is the Trump boss music just fyi

The music for the Trump Tower dungeon is also lit

Dumb story time from web fishing:

> I join a server room titled as a women's zone

> Convo is lighthearted talk about furries and how cringe is good and fun.

> A man joins the conversation.

> Convo turns to older gacha games.

> Guy casually mentions he has spent 24k on gacha games.

> He immediately gets dunked on.

> I say he sounds like a spoiled cybertruck owner.

> Dude gets mad not at the cybertruck comment, but at being called spoiled.

> Says I don't know any better because he calls his work a career while I call mine a job.

> He openly admits without anyone nudging him on that he's a 26 year old veteran that got free college and now gets paid 300k a year to program... if he's to be believed.

> We start calling him a war criminal.

> Guy thinks he can own me by buying games for the chat. I tell him I don't need his blood money.

> Some gal gets like a $60 game for free and he tells me how owned and mad I am.

> I tell him I would feel sorry for him being this lonely if he wasn't a war criminal.

> Guy starts misgendering everyone that called him a war criminal.

> He immediately gets kicked and everyone is relieved.

> I get to stay and naturally the convo becomes a lot more relaxed and gay.

!fishe !pog-fish !smoking-fish

I'm thinking about buying it. link

I love how a few minutes in it just turns into a deep dive into the shovelware company (RAN BY THE GUY WHO FOUNDED BUNGIE?!) that made this

4.5 MILLION IN SEED FUNDING FOR FORTNITE MAPS !matt-joker back in my day people just made stuff like this for free and uploaded it to FPSBanana !chomsky-yes-honey and now you're getting VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDING for this shit, like genuinely this is so fucking bleak I couldn't possibly have predicted where this video would go

also between this and whatever's going on with Destiny I'm starting to think that maybe these Bungie folks weren't all that good

I was too scared to click this and see what it is. Please tell me. I gotta know. Do I want to know?

It's me, your resident New Vegas mod enjoyer. I've been meaning to make effort-posts analyzing some mods for New Vegas, do y'all have any suggestions?

Edit: may do Morrowind as well...

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I've been playing a lot of XCOM 2 and Civ V this past week

Its great. You meet treasure hunters who share artifacts with the cultures they're from so that those cultural leaders can decide what to do with them. You help a character come to terms with their gender identity. You encourage people to build community in more than just a "we can win with the power of friendship" kinda way. I'm only on the first half of the game too.

It reviewed kinda mid but honestly these touches have totally sold me. It's actually feels like the writers of this game were a multicultural group of people who put thought into making it inclusive.

Is anyone else playing? Is this the experience others are having? Is all this based-ness why people are review bombing it?
