I was so close getting 69 games completed this year. (yes im immature lmao) but nope. Dwarf Fortress premium release finally occured and it's dragged me back in hard.On another note at least, it has been a blast - while I learnt the quirks and ui back in the day, I love to sit back and relax with these games …

Dwarf Fortress premium release finally occured and it's dragged me back in hard.On another note at least, it has been a blast - while I learnt the quirks and ui back in the day, I love to sit back and relax with these games and the mouse support has made it so much more accessible.
Been sitting in discord calls with a mate while we play showing each other the crazy things that occur. This game is still so mind blowing with it's generated history.
Year 104 - A thief was seen taking an artifact ring. My captain of the guard interrogated a few dwarves around at the time but most had no additional information.
4 years pass and I see in my Fortress the ring listed, so I check where it is. On a human!? So I send my captain to to interrogate him.
He has been active for around 50 years trying to pull of coups and infiltrating cities for some unnamed individual. His current name is an alias and after failing to steal the ring himself in Year 103 he influenced another person to steal it in 104. After 4 years the case is finally closed and now I have leads on a coup as well as the name of the person that stole the ring.
The human tried to run but was quickly slain by my guards. The ring returned to my fortress.

The revitalized sprites in DF are endearing, taking DFs ascii art to new, user friendly heights. The promise of earthly depths of story is calling me to the mines, knowing full well a learning cliff awaits.
