You forgot to mention how horrible the Mugen Archive admins are

ik im late to the video, but in all 3 tier lists, no mention of people like josh geary...

Anyone who wants to pick up DF should have intermidiate Nethack skills, it helps to grasp the rather complicated or overwhelming UI. NH and DF are the pinacle of gaming, Minecraft only is so good because it draws a lot of inspiration from DF and Nethack. Glad to see appreciation for oldschool skillbased games.

Imo 3x3 stair designs are a result of workshops being 3x3. You can just come off your stair with a 3 wide hallway and then plop a shop in the middle of it. If you make it 4 then it's off center. Once you start making spaces for the shops, they're most likely going to be 3 wide or an odd number greater than 3, so that they can be centered. Hallways and stairs that are 2x2 or 4x4 just don't fit with the workshops unless you arrange them double wide.

I saw mickey speedwayusa narrowly defeat the rare akuma(s) in the most exhilerating match of my life

I know you have autism.

@sungazercyan what’s the intro song?

Not sure about the dissertation, but it kinda sounds like pathfinding a little bit. Perhaps, Toady was destined to create Dwarf Fortress?

I think the 3x3 stairway entry might be a reference to the double helix staircase built by Leonard da Vinci for the Chambord castle in France. I'm not sure though.

Mugen is honestly one of those things I get super into again once in a while. It’s got a nice community and so much you can do with it. Making an iceberg series about it is really cool!

why are you a roblox baddie

Boatmurdered is so notable in DF canon lore that the Abandon Fortress theme in the Steam release is Koganusan, the dorf word for Boatmurdered.

While meat cannot produce a significant amount of alcohol as it lacks sugars , there is a species of honeybee that can turn meat into sugar Imagine goblin puts fillwd with the buzzing sounds of carnivorous bees

You don't have to rewrite the entire game to use multi threading. You can just implement it on the most demanding features

Non euclidean geometry is not "what exist beyond our understanding of 3 dimensional space". It's literally just a curved space. You know, like on Earth

I'm surprised he didn't include New madness Mario

I know this came out a year ago, but I may have an answer for the dots at 47:45. On the Bay12 forums there was a user called 9Dot I believe who's user name was literally ".........". He was well known for doing super stylized dwarf fortress fan art and iirc basically never actually posted anything but his art. Like he wouldn't add text to any of his posts or respond to anyone elses.

I'm gonna post this here as well for other people to see. Hi! I'm the one formely known as GaelikTheWarrior (the same name still redirects to my YT channel though). To explain, I wasn't familiar with JoJo at all at the time, heck I didn't even play the Capcom game until after I've made the Joseph palette swap. I just saw Joseph's sprites, was like "I could just make him a ginger and cheap as fuck" and boom, Chuck Norris lol I was always too ambitious at the time and ended up making only shitty characters, but this one is still my favorite for having the most fun making it. But yeah, he was quickly dethroned by cheaper characters as I quickly moved on to other projects. Thank you for featuring him! It's nice to look back at my old creations. I've left MUGEN a long time ago and now I'm mostly making Blender stuff. Could be interesting to come back and make a completely original character now that I have all the tools and knowledge to do so.

Dwarf fortress has so much where I'm like "at first you had my curiosity" but then when you get to the 'you are armok' and it's like "but NOW you have my attention"

Great video ! <3

The adventurers are asexual thing goes deeper If you retire and adventurer to populate a fort you unretire with adventurers they will never have children. This is important because some players like to make their epic hero who saved the land king. Which means they will never have a bloodline.

Coming from a country that has Keas (New Zealand ) I think you had it right the first time. Key a (ke-a) Kay ah is just wrong to my ears.

Maan, hope your channel is still active. Your iceberg videos, especially the MUGEN ones are really fun explanation as someone who wants to get into it in the near future 😆

Very late, but on ''Ice oceans are hostile''... This entry most likely refers to a bug that happens at polar oceans. Specfically on top of oceanic ice sheets. It might still happen, but I haven't checked. Here is how it works. The presence of ice on top of the water doesn't prevents the game from generating waves. This creates water mist. Due to the way these generate and how wonky old DF code tends to work, some of it spontaneously appears on top of the ice. This causes it to instantly freeze due to the extreme low tempature, instantly forming massive walls of ice when you don't look at their direction. These walls gradually close in on you and then entomb you as you walk around there in adventure mode. It is akin to a creepypasta if you ask me. Imagine walking around on an empty plain of ice, then you look back to see a wall of ice that wasn't there... And another when you look forward again. Left, right, same. And suddenly, you are encased in ice...

Regarding ... ... ... (nine dots): this almost definitely refers to the legendary surreal artist of the same name on the Bay 12 forums, who posts intricate depictions/gifs of dwarf fortress shenanigans. Their art style is best described as "high effort MS paint" which is why their work is so distinctive and memorable (at least to my younger self).

11:10 The funniest bit is that any normal in-game theory about the creation of the first anvil has holes in it; eventually, you're left with 'gift from Armok' because that's the only one not directly contradicted by some bit of lore: - strange mood. While it is possible to get a metal anvil as a result of a strange mood (I personally got an artifact adamantine anvil in 2023), completing that strange mood requires the existence of a forge in the first place. And, if an artifact anvil were created in the history of the world, then that anvil would be found in Legends mode. No such luck. - made from a more primitive precursor. Ok, so where is the recipe for that precursor? There is no other instance of dwarves forgetting a crafting recipe, and even worse, all dwarves come equipped with full knowledge of every recipe in existence; they can do everything, their experience just dictates how fast they do so, or how much the end product sucks. - gift from gods. Gods do gift physical objects at times, but only in highly specific circumstances, and only slabs: death gods create slabs with the secrets of life and death for their necromancers, and demons who pact with gods get bound via a slab with their True Name written on it. It's not completely unrealistic that the god of mountains/ores/metals/smithing/whatever did craft an anvil... but again: this is an artifact; where is it in Legends? - gift from Armok. By simple process of elimination, this is the only remaining option. Yeah, sure, when Armok built this world, He also built a 'standard issue' fortress, which contained at least one anvil. This anvil is not an artifact, it's just a shitty no-quality anvil, so it's not in Legends. (and the 'standard issue' fort also might explain why all auto-generated forts are so similar, too). 22:10 Also worth mentioning that it's possible to become a were-wagon; though I recall the user who did the experiments used DfHack to turn his/her adventurer into a were-creature in the first place. It wasn't a particularly exciting adventurer; any attempt to move resulted in the 'wagon' getting scuttled.

Why is Obok Meatgod the lowest one? Isn't it like kinda-popular but forbidden to mention? I've even read the original.

My Count took care of himself in my current fortress. He got into a religious strange mood and couldn't complete it because he didn't find something. I wanted to cast golden altars, but I was using the wrong ore (woops). So, he grew despondent and died after refusing to eat or drink for an extended period of time. This was cool for the mayor, which got his quarters, extra rooms and even tomb. Dwarves just put the Count into the corpse stockpile instead of his already assigned tomb, so I didn't bother building another for the next guy.

So, meat alcohol. There is meat Honey so following that you would be able to ferment some Meat Mead and have your, probably disgusting, alcoholic drink.

7:35 It's pronouced kia, like the car company. U were correct and some drongo lied to u. It's a māori word. Dunno why the hell some bird from NZ is in DF, but i'm stoked.

45:17 -- RE: Tarn turned down a job at Mojang; Sideways note for the Iceberg here, when I actually start considering the larger "real world" impact that Bay12's brain-trust have had upon the Earth that there is probably at least 1 artifact that this Iceberg has missed. It's a novel written by Neal Stephenson (who is sometimes referred to as a cyberpunk writer) called "REAMDE" published in 2011. I shouldn't spoil the novel but hey, if it had appeared on something like this Iceberg explaining its presence would require at least some synopsis of the plot and/or characters. Suffice it to say one of the protagonists is a software developer who has created an MMORPG that mashes up World of Warcraft (for the MMO part) with Dwarf Fortress for the insanely detailed procedural world generation, way more detailed than anything Mojang / Notch ever did. Stephenson, in my opinion, was using Dwarf Fortress for a very specific reason.

34:38 -- RE: If Meat Alcohol Is Real, please don't tell me....; A: *LMAO* too late pal. *No,* to my knowledge "meat alcohol" which you'd get in a bottle or a tankard is not something which humans are particularly drawn to, *BUT* nonetheless using fermentation as a method of preparing, curing and even cooking meat *IS* common. It is not uncommon for many types of sea creatures to be quite literally cooked by burying them for a period of time and allowing the process of rotting to ferment the meat. Three cultures as convenient examples: Arctic dwelling cultures like the Inuit, also the Norwegians, and the Japanese all have types of fermented fish, sea mammals, and sea birds. Another example from antiquity which is much closer to "meat alcohol" though is a fish sauce from Roman times called "Garum" which, to the best of my knowledge wasn't consumed as a liquor on its own but was used as a method of flavoring other foods.

27:57 -- RE: "So maybe you have heard of the Taxi Cab distance in NYC...."; See also The Manhatten Distance. What is intriguing here is that he's using "simplified" terms which others don't use. Anyhow, mathematically speaking the Manhatten distance is a trivially simple kind of calculation because ( a ) it will be correlated strongly with the Pythagorean theorem, because ( b ) Diagonal "straight line" distance doesn't work on a grid. Lucky for us though, we don't even need to work out what C is when squared since we only need to know how many blocks Forward/Back and how many Left/Right. In other words, -if- When the Hypotenuse is 5 the Manhatten distance is 7 (A + B).

I know this video is old, but about the meat alcohol While alcohol made from straight meat is impossible, here is something even more weird! Meat Honey! Yup, that's a thing, made from vulture bees, they use rotten meat in order to create a honey like substance The best (or worst) part is that it's edible! Apparently it's sweet smelling and pleasant tasting, tho I personally would not try it lol

DONG DONG NEVER DIE MENTIONED LESGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If your avatar wasnt so cringe I would have watched more

Dwarf Fortress my favorite game to learn about but no play

There is a CCA promo of parents arguing in their kitchen as their daughter sits with her back to them. As the camera slowly pulls back, the kitchen becomes a school classroom and a narrator states that children take their problems with them in public. The dad somewhat resembles Patrick McKenna of The Red Green Show and Traders fame, which wouldn't be surprising if it is him, as he is Canadian. According to Wikipedia, it's called "Mental Wellness" and aired in 2012 (two years after Media Monkey), so I'm certain this is your elusive missing PSA from Concerned Children's Advertisers. Plus, I do recall the seizure one that someone messaged you about in the middle of your video. I don't remember if it was a part of Concerned Children's Advertisers, though, but I do remember the kid having a seizure at a playground as his friends demonstrate to themselves (and the audience) the do's and don'ts if they experience this. It was the first time I heard of seizures, so that's why it stuck with me.

youtuber make a video without doing the "oughh i dont wanna do thiisss" bit: IMPOSSIBLE!

Oh my God, I kept mentally correcting to k-ee-a every time you said it… IT’S K-AY-A?

Gotta hate the YT algorithm bullshit. Also, I WILL download a tentacle demon mod for degenerate hentai. Checkmate, kinkshamers.

"Just add the multi-threading." Bro why don't you put a computer into a steam engine

You can JUST add multithreading to dwarf fortress, it'll be the only thing that happens for the next 10 years or more, but eventually you'd have it

Algorithm fuel

Your old pronunciation of Kea was right. NZ guy here and they are a menace in our mountains, funny tho

how tf so I dl smash box ultimate

if you get rock dust in your eyes it does stain, but i wouldn't say it is the worst thing in the world. your eyes tear up which removes the dust. however repeatedly getting rock dust in lungs is very not good. the small particles get stuck in your lungs and they are too small to cough out. this eventually leads to a disease called stone lung

BRO THE FIRST FEW MILLISECONDS BEING ROBO KY GOT ME HOOKED LMAO 🤖🤖🤖‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥

... what the fuck is that weird doll supposed to be?
