In #DwarfFortress last weekend we successfully fended off a goblin siege and now we need to clean up.

I've been willing to send a few bucks to Tarn Adams for a while now.

The graphical version of Dwarf Fortress that got released 3 years ago seemed like a good occasion to do just that, but being a stubborn asshole, I still refused to use steam.

So go and vote for it to finally get on GOG so I can shut up and spend my money:

I really hate the title "prompt engineer" but it came to mind today as I was refining my #DwarfFortress #ollama prompt to get good story summaries after large battles.

It should be noted that a 9700+ line gamelog file is probably too much to ask it to reason through.

Brilliant idea, or terrible idea: play a game of Dwarf Fortress. Turn the map into a megadungeon for my Nimble game.

A thousand years later after it’s been transformed for another purpose.

For entertainment's sake, I decided to pipe my gamelog. through a local #ollama instance and asked it to tell me a summary.
I was not prepared for the restrictions on gore, lol.
#Qwen: "I need to be careful not to make it *too* graphic while reserving the narrative weight. I can summarize the *injuries* without necessarily repeating the most visceral gore words unnecessarily, or I can tone it down slightly while keeping the dramatic essence."

For future reference, if your legendary miner dwarf goes into a psychotic rage while confined, don't free them.
RIP two cats, two elves and 3 dwarves so far, including a surgeon and the mayor.
On the bright side, we get new elections and that last mayor was definitely cooking the books.

In #DwarfFortress, we made fairly short work of a minotaur on Friday. But maybe we can make it shorter?

Faudrait que je creuse pour comprendre pourquoi j'ai un a priori si négatif sur la génération par IA (de lore ou #worldbuilding) alors que j'ai toujours été fasciné par la génération procédurale (#minecraft, #dwarffortress, des prototypes maison...).
Est-ce que c'est que les générations IA sont non-reproductibles ? Le manque d'effort ? de parcimonie dans la création ? Peut-être surtout le fait que le résultat risque d'être peu surprenant, de rarement faire émerger quelque chose de nouveau.

The real question is, should I start #streaming this game I've been playing for a decade or more, or just post some quick video clips of favourite moments?

Quick clip of forgotten beast getting owned by dwarves, no voice-over:

I just raised my #DwarfFortress population cap to 600 from 200 because not having new dwarves show up is boring. Will I regret this? Maybe not as much as my carpenters.
