6:49 PM Andrew: certainly youve sen this already
but just in case
http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-8269
me: hadn't, actually
that's awesome
6:50 PM Andrew: someone made a turing complete 8 bit computer in dwarf fortress
beyond retarded waste of time
6:51 PM me: so, could it do anything interesting?
you know what's not a waste of time?
playing dwarf fortress
6:54 PM Andrew: its turing complete
6:55 PM that means it can compute anything that is computable
me: swee
so
in terms of the game
6:56 PM Andrew: so, yes, theoretically, you could write a full x86 emulator, compile windows on it and run crysis
it would be slower than balls
me: which is totally feasible
could you play nethack on dwarf fortress
Andrew: again, theoretically
7:06 PM me: I just started a fortress on an elf settlement
Andrew: holy shit!
a fucking elf fortress!
me: going to experiment with new feature whereby you can target a creature for attack
Andrew: FAP FAP FAP
me: and start a genocide campaign
7:07 PM which I'll lose since I just started out
FAP FAP FAP is right
7:12 PM me: hell yeah, they're gonna do it, I put all seven dwarves in a squad and they're going to go kill this elf I selected
7:16 PM Andrew: hell yeah indeed
7:17 PM me: didn't work, seems to be a bug with the elves
7:18 PM gonna try to start one at a goblin fort
7:30 PM Andrew: btw
I thought you would appreciate this thing I found
