You could and it might work, or it might not. Depends on a lot of factors. Thing is, you are still engaging the fey in word games and try to outsmart them in their own games. Being blunt and telling them No, giving clear and unambiguous answers offers less attack ground for them.

I am not a big fan of raw oysters, but if you bake them in the oven with breadcrumbs, cheese and a sauce, they are delicious

A wedding ring shows that you are wed. Just like an engagement ring shows that your engaged. A wedding is an event, being wed is a change in status. The logic is sound. Confusion only enters the mix, because ‘being wed’ is less common as a phrase than ‘being married’.

Depending on the way the fey phrased the request you may either have insulted it, or broken a deal. If it asks to have your name and you answer with “yes, my name is <fake name>.” You have lied to it and broken a simple transaction. It may even be justified in using ever more harsh measures to extract your name from you, as it has a legitimate claim on it. At least that is the way I would play such a situation for the fey. For me the thing is that trying to outsmart them rarely works, because they know netter in which rules they operate than you do. A answer like "You may not have my name, but you can call me <fake name>. " Should work better in my opinion. Sorry for the wall of text btw. Just being bored out of my mind rn.

And on top of all this the UI feels sluggish. I still have Win11 on my laptop, as it came installed with it and I just partitioned some of the drive for linux. Was sometimes easier do do stuff on Win for Uni, esp. with very specialized software. Everytime I logged in to Win I wanted to kill the UI.

WTF is helix?

So, first of all a bee-ologist can only help you marginally, as bees are in the same order as wasps, hornets and ants but relatively far removed from them. Hornets (genus vespa) and classic wasps (genus vespula) on the other hand share the same subfamily vespinae and are both considered wasps. This was a nice short dive into wikipedia. As I am a crystallographer any real entomologist can feel free to correct me.

Gender does not matter, but proper armor will make you a more effective servant of the Emperor

Nice story. Were those just plain zombies, or some other kind of intelligent undead? Because necromancers can raise both types in a fight and this cloud sounds like a raising/converting effect some of those intelligent undead can do. I have absolutely no idea why they were friendly, because they usually are either loyal to the necromancer or just plain agressive against the living.

Also nice that you stayed stubborn on these useless bugbats.

Of course they are not. They just murder-fucked each other so hard a chaos-god of depravity came into existence. Nothing lewd about that.

The one in the middle is called M. Rover.

156. 12*12 on one hand + 12 on the other one

And then there is NileRed, who does lick the chemistry He does.

They are probably horribly out of date, but I used the Tutorials on the wiki to get a senese of the game, mind you that was around 2013. Then I just set a goal for a run like, building a working water delivery system, trying a certain trap design, constructing a tower over the ocean, etc. Or just trying to keep my dwarves happy. My second or third fort was on a volcano and I tried to design a magma fall in the dining area. And when I felt burnt out on the game I just put it away for half a year.

As a general rule, I would discard any product where an unpleseant and/or bitter aroma is not exlicitly expected. Our senses of tase and smell are very good at distinguishing “good”, that is energy dense and clean, food from " bad", that is mostly rotten or contaminated, food. I have little experience with cheese making but if any doughs or yoghurts I make start to smell or taste bitter or otherwise off, it is usually because the microfauna got out of hamd and malign bacteria started overproducing.

Dont forget the draft

I love “courageously providing valuable input”. We all can imagine how the process worked.

It is talking about our shiny clickety-clackety math rockses, my prescious.

The power of positive thinking and ducttape will allways prevail against the forces of ickyness
