Putnam has been such a huge blessing to this game since they took ~~him~~ them on.
With a Linux port I might have to install it again too. Ugh my sleep.
Edit: I was an idiot.
Fully agreed! It's 'took her on', though.
It's just insane how competent some people are. Here's an interesting interview from 5 month ago.
It absolutely does matter - male default needs to stop!
I didn't use male as the default, I had just seen various forum posts over the years referring to Putnam as him and assumed that was correct.
Oh sure - I'm not calling you out or anything. But somewhere along the line the people whose forum posts you were reading had made the male default assumption, and it stuck with you! Not your fault that someone else made that assumption.
All good - I should have been more mindful and probably used gender neutral language instead.
In case someone is wondering about your response: My comment originally included the phrase "Not that it matters, [...]", but I immediately edited my comment after I posted it, because I agree with your sentiment. You were faster than me.
Thanks for leaving context here, so I don't look like a raving lunatic :P
I learnt something new today.
Also nice to see the Linux edition getting more love as well, hopefully they release it soon.
Tried the Steam version when it came out I think a year ago, but got frustrated because stairs were broken. Don't suppose anyone knows if they fixed the bug/misfeature where you couldn't build up stairs without access to the floor above?
I hope this means the Mac version is coming soon!
Super excited about this as the game runs like shit on my laptop and there's a long running issue of fortresses becoming unplayable at high populations. Anyone tried it out?
Been a dream of every long time dwarf fortress player for this all to happen. It's wonderful having an extra person on who can work on all this stuff while tarn and zach full steam ahead with updates.
Wow. That is a cool. My limited experience working with single-threaded game-stuff tells me it is exceptionally hard to port stuff that is written without threading in mind, to multi-threading. Getting the behavior to stay the same while still actually getting better performance requires some really deep insight into how stuff works in the program. On a (program-)global scale. Mad respect if it works out. This should make huge maps or huge fortresses possible.
I haven't yet played the steam version (it is on my todo-list though), but sank quite some hours into the "legacy" version. It can become laggy if you play on big maps with a lot of dwarfs/critters etc on it. I am excited to have even more stuff possible in this already very complex and huge game.
Great, do Rimworld next.
Rimworld already utilises multithreading.
Yep. Multithreading isn't a magic fix for these really complex games. At the end of the day some stuff just has to happen in order.
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!
