Adjusted value of Bees. Now that was a special one… because every item in the game had a minimum value, and a beehive was a container for bees, which each had a minimum value… which meant the moment one of your dwarves picked up a beehive, your entire fortress’ net worth skyrocketed… a value used in determining how powerful the foes that visit and try to murder you are.

Reblogging for the explanation of what “adjusted value of bees” actually means, because I know several folks following this blog have been wondering.

Okay but you’ve all forgotten the best Dwarf Fortress bug of all “Flying creatures give birth in midair, leading to tragedy” 

Actually I lied it’s the one where after a major update werewolves and vampires started climbing the nearest tree and refusing to come down. It turned out that he’d given evil creatures the ability to sense each other, but forgotten to set a maximum range on it, so werewolves were aware Hell was underground and trying to flee by climbing

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

it's been a while since I re-read the books but I do think gideon the ninth was really cooking with the redemptive power of total forgiveness when Gideon forgives Harrow for everything in the pool, in a way that heals both of them... particularly when you contrast Gideon with John "quite the most appallingly vindictive person I have ever met" Gaius

Hey anyone notice how google translate is being pretty liberal with their translations as of late? Takin some real liberties to infer tone.

Vitamin megadose "therapy" is of course nonsense for the most part, but I love how sometimes just carpet-bombing the problem is a legit diagnostic tool. "Hey, we think you might have a vitamin D deficiency, so we need you to buy this specific supplement and take ten tablets a day for a week, then report back." Fantastic.

I'm given to understand there's some disagreement in the field regarding whether 50 000 IU all at once or 10 000 IU daily for a week provides better diagnostic results; the former has apparently been known to trigger a manic episode in a small percentage of people!
