👑MOUNTAIN KINGS3⃣3⃣4⃣👑 Submission: SATAN - Court in the Act 🇬🇧 (1983) A standout NWOBHM release, CITA blends intricate riffing, soaring vocals, and a darker, more technical edge than many of its peers. Sharp, energetic, and a deserved cult Heavy Metal classic. #MK334👑

Getting used to Dwarf Fortress ASCII more than a decade ago did something virtuous to my brain and I think more people should experience it, yet it's rather hard to justify.

Coding is an artform the same way drawing and making music are. If you use genAI to assist you with your code, you are just as bad as if you were using it to make art assets or music for your game. If you can't code, team up with someone who can. Or fucking learn.

Dwarf Fortress 53.16 is up. Another quality of life patch, this also fixes up some issues like invisible divine items and the one where a dwarf ordering a drink at a tavern with multiple staff would be served a drink by every staff member, sometimes resulting in acute alcohol poisoning.
