Dwarf Fortress Talk #25 (posted Aug 11, 2020): Download (1:01:25, 24.5 MB) In this episode, Rainseeker, Capntastic and Toady One discuss a few reddit posts, the possibility of human forts and other topics, and answer questions. Thanks to u/Count_Triple, u/Cabbagetroll, and u/NZSloth for the reddit posts, and to recon1o6 and Fieari for the questions. Sound note: some lawnmower noises start increasing around 9 minutes in and persist for a few minutes, getting louder, but fortunately by ~15 they go mostly away, ha ha, so hopefully it isn't too distracting overall. They'd been landscaping/painting/etc. my apartment consistently for a month, so it was hard to record around. There's also a bit of microphone crackle I couldn't edit out easily, especially near the end. It's a continuing process!
