Yeah, I flew over the hump with DF but still haven’t been able to do it with Qud.

Wait, they say “X’d” now? Like “He X’d?”

Come on now, that’s a tweet. He’s tweeting.

I’m thinking of getting some new cats in that maybe didn’t share these prejudices.

None! The six-year-old has only ever been grouchy from rain, and the other two are mad at having been nauseated by the sun in their first year, but no negative thoughts in any way related to modesty or lack of clothing. It’s pretty cool.

A character image from Dwarf Fortress shows a dwarven child with thick, reddish-brown hair and a beard. He is identified as Olon 'Limul Oiledocolor' Niralshem and is said to be socializing.

Seen here socializing on his first birthday, Limul Oiledcolor is the first of the three brothers to not inherit his mother's baldness.

One thing that’s really thrown me is that none of my dwarves have been adopted by cats.

In other news, we're mostly eating pork and asparagus, and the engraver is in a massive push to upskill. He's worried people are going to start thinking he's a planter.

He's been named "Limul Oiledcolor," after a secondary God of the fortress. His middle brother, "Alron" is named for the primary. His eldest brother, "The Unclothed," is named for the very core beliefs on which this fortress was founded.

A dwarven baby sits on the engraved golden floor of a training room. A cat and a golden weapon rack are to the right of him. Two war dogs and an adult male dwarf are also visible.

The nudist Dwarf Fortress of Bronzeshort has welcomed its third, baby, yet another boy. He took his first breaths in the training barracks, where his mother was leading a dodging demonstration. His first thought was the relief of being near a waterfall as she carried him to the tavern.

The least happy of the dwarves is, as you might expect, the one who had the most severe reaction to losing his clothing, which in turn led to crippling shyness. He stays at the low end of a green mood, dipping to yellow or orange occasionally when he suddenly remembers that he is naked.

The two children, who are 4 and 2 years old, have yet to have any negative thoughts regarding their lack of clothing, making me think, at least functionally, nudity-based shame may be a learned behaviour in Dwarf Fortress.

An image from the game, Dwarf Fortress, in which two dwarven children play in an opulent bedroom. One is significantly paler than the other.

The image displays text from Dwarf Fortress, which describes a particular dwarf's core values. It says, "He personally would just as soon have nature and the great outdoors burned to ashes and converted into a great mining pit (a strengthening after being nauseated by the sun in 145)..."

The nudist Dwarf Fortress of Bronzeshort now has two male children. Guess which one hates the sun so much it defines his personality?

I don’t want to drop assassination coordinates, but Cyndi Lauper has more banter than any other artist I’ve seen in my entire life. Not a criticism btw. She just recommended bananas for their potassium.

An image from the game Dwarf Fortress shows the recent thoughts of a dwarven child. The dwarf is saying “I was close to a waterfall. This is delightful.” In addition to this, the image says:
“He felt enjoyment after playing make believe.
He was delighted being near a waterfall.
He felt enjoyment after playing with a mini-forge.
He didn’t feel anything talking with mother.
He was blissful remembering performing.
He felt enjoyment after playing with a toy hammer.
He didn’t feel anything talking with father.
He felt euphoric due to inebriation.
He was delighted remembering being near to a waterfall.
He felt admiration after watching a performance.
He felt enjoyment after watching a performance.
He didn’t feel anything talking with an acquaintance. 
He as blissful while performing.

His recent thoughts are almost all pleasant. He loves the mist generator, being drunk, playing with toys, performing, and watching performances. He has yet to have any reaction, positive or negative, to his nudity. Strangely, he appears to get no enjoyment from talking to other dwarves.

An image from Dwarf Fortress that shows a top-down view of a tavern. The tavern has 8 golden tables and chairs, an engraved floor, and 3 walls made almost entirely out of gem windows. Several dwarves are gathered in the tavern, surrounded by dogs and cats. One of the dwarves is a child. One of the dwarves is wearing clothing, but all others appear to be naked.

Pictured here is his 1st birthday party, which was well attended. Even the outpost liaison was there, though she felt a bit out of place as the only dwarf in clothing.

Happy 1st birthday to “The unclothed,” the only child in my nudist Dwarf Fortress. His beard has officially come in and he is looking handsome. He spends most of his time playing with toys beneath the mist generator in the tavern.
