I only had a terrible phone camera to hand, but my official PaleNeØ fan did cast quite nice shadows.

Last weekend's #DwarfFortress session featured a goblin siege where they broke in through the dog kennels. But thanks to @Diziet@mastodon.me.uk's advice, that didn't help them very much. Now I need to tidy up and maybe make sure it doesn't happen again.

I'm going on holiday tomorrow, but I can put off packing a little longer with some #DwarfFortress.
Esmulrakust: quick pre-holiday stream
My #DwarfFortress has had quite an uneventful spring. I could go in search of excitement, but it does tend to find me anyway.
Esmulrakust: a quiet spring, for now
Last session of #DwarfFortress we had a mostly successful (from our point of view) attack from some elves. But they did get into our kennels and kill an awful lot of dogs so I fear tonight will mostly involve disposing of the bodies. Join me if that sounds interesting:
Esmulrakust: all my dogs, dead
Last week, my #DwarfFortress made these spectacular trousers. They probably won't feature much in tonight's stream though.
Esmulrakust: the strongest possible trousers
It's quite late, but I think I can fit in a bit of #DwarfFortress before bed.
Esmulrakust: back to normal
In #DwarfFortress I'd just finished tidying up last session, so obviously tonight will just involve some pleasant pastoral dwarfing and nothing surprising will happen.
Esmulrakust: all is calm, for now
On Friday in #DwarfFortress, I built a lever labelled "Release the hounds!" Now the elves have arrived, but they're traders so I probably shouldn't set the dogs on them.

Esmulrakust: trade relations with elves
It's often hard to tell what's going to happen in a #DwarfFortress stream. For example last week seemed calm and then the elves and goblins had a battle on our doorstep before a forgotten beast covered several unfortunate people (and dogs) in deadly dust.
So I won't make any predictions about tonight. Join me if you want to find out what happens:
Esmulrakust: spare bedrooms, the bad way
Liverpool Street station is closed this weekend, so trains from Cambridge are being diverted to Stratford. That gave me a new place to cycle home from. I mostly followed the beginning of the 2017 London-Edinburgh-London route, which in turn spent a lot of time following the B1368.
It's quite warm, but I think I can manage some #DwarfFortress. Join me here if you like:
Esmulrakust: a towering noseless walrus
This weekend, Network Rail are doing some track works around Haywards Heath, so the trains from Cambridge are only running as far as Three Bridges. So yesterday I caught one of them and then cycled home.
I decided to try crossing the Thames by the Dartford Tunnel, which worked quite well. The section south of the river was quite hilly, so I was quite happy to get to the relative flatness of Essex.
After the last goblin siege in #DwarfFortress, @Diziet@mastodon.me.uk suggested a way to make it harder to break in through the bolt throwers. Join me as I try to implement it!
Esmulrakust: better tunnels needed
Last weekend, the goblins actually managed to break into my #DwarfFortress. Happily they decided shortly afterwards that they didn't like it there and went home. But I'd better try to stop them doing it again. Join me if you like:
Esmulrakust: better walls needed
On Friday, I most finished cleaning up my #DwarfFortress after the unwelcome dog slaughter. Now I should harden the kennels against attackers for when I have dogs again. Maybe the fields too.

Esmulrakust: a better kennel
Friday's #DwarfFortress ended with the goblins' breaking down the fortifications and getting into the fortress. Unfortunately, I forgot to press "Post" here, but you can still see how I did, an hour or two in arrears:
