Dwarf Fortress co-creator Tarn Adams says he has no need for GenAI, because his artists are bursting with cool, weird ideas like meat biomes and sphincter doors. "[Tolkien] didn’t have a sphincter door. I mean, I don’t think he did… Who knows what’s going on in, like, Minas Morgul though."

27 Chaotic Minutes with Dwarf Fortress Creator Tarn Adams

Tarn Adams talks about Dwarf Fortress, his favourite bugs of the last 20 years, and why it's incredibly important to have a "meat biome"

I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel

I beat Star Wars: Zero Company. Super satisfying, best X-Com-like since, well, X-Com. Although I came in with a squad that was crack enough to beat the final boss in one round, which led to uhhh a somewhat anticlimactic battle. Still, if tactical battles are your bag, highly recommend!

The thing about actual Roman damnationes memoriarum is that they didn't really obliterate all memory of a bad emperor. None of our sources are afraid to talk about these figures. It wasn't truly about forgetting the guy, but about abolishing his (positive) public commemoration.

It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC. I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing. (thread)

In a cab that's also a Tesla and watching the video-game view of what its cameras are interpreting of the environment around it and it is ... Extremely not accurate. Crazy to think these things would or could be ready for fully automated self driving. The technology just isn't there.

Sometimes I think the hack for making social media work in society should be capping a post at a thousand likes or retweets or whatever. Once you hit the ceiling, that's it! No more! Other posts get a chance! Everything I see above that is sometimes funny but otherwise inane, obvious, or insane

The US already has a problem with rapidly increasing infrastructure costs. You know what makes those costs go up even more? Years and years of delays and inaction from the federal government in signing off on funding projects. That’s where we’re at right now.
