  • Just steal them from Hobby Lobby. They don’t have anti-theft towers or LP.

    Edit: also if you want a nice back patch but the band you like doesn’t make them you can buy a T-shirt, cut the graphic, sew it on, and go over it with clear nail polish or something similar and voila. Or you could staple it on if your hand starts to hurt from hand sewing a whole back patch on, not recommended but it’s what I ended up doing when I was a punk kid.

    Edit edit: You can also fill in empty space with safety pins, they look edgy but they also serve a practical purpose if any of your patches (or someone else’s) start to come off.






  • Here’s my advice for you as someone that’s worked in a few factories and a warehouse: Get insoles for your shoes if you can, they’ll help a lot. Prioritize protein dense foods, maybe take a shake to work. I basically abused acetaminophen when I was working my 12hr shifts, try not to poison yourself with painkillers. Some factories or warehouses have massage chairs in the break/lunch rooms, if your’s does remember to use it! A little less ethical depending on how your factory handles breaks but try to take a little extra time than you’re allowed if you can. In the same vein, if you have time to clean you have time to lean! Take every chance you can to rest.

    You said you’re in storage and I don’t know what that means specifically but in any case, optimize your movements, especially if you’re palletizing or something. Do not twist your body left or right to lift, remember to use your legs to lift, and keep objects in your power zone! The core of factory and warehouse work is about optimizing your movements to minimize pain and last longer.

    Oh also if you can sneak earbuds into work and you’re able to do your work safely with them, use music or podcasts to power through the shift. My best shifts were when I was able to sneak my wireless earbuds onto the factory floor. If that’s not possible for you I’d recommend getting some nice reusable earplugs. They should be more comfortable and more effective than whatever your work is giving you, if they are anyways. Save your hearing!

    And one more thing, remember to be careful outside of work too. Something as small as an RSI in your wrist can be enough to not make it through a shift, jeopardizing your job. That’s all the advice I have, stay strong comrade.








  • The controls are slightly different and there’s little bits of QOL over the classic version too, but yeah it’s basically the same game and the developers are working hard to keep them at pace with one another for people interested but not willing to commit to the $30. The remaster also has an ASCII mode which I like for whenever I wanna play a little old-school. :)


  • Yeah so adventure mode has actually been in Dwarf Fortress Classic for a very long time! What just entered beta is actually adventure mode for the new remastered version of the game which you can find on itch.io or Steam.

    The latest Dwarf Fortress Classic version is at 50.12 which is up to date with Dwarf Fortress Remastered. I think you can only access the new beta version for adventure mode on Steam though. If you want to play Adventure mode on Classic you just open up a world you made and a screen should ask if you want to start “Fortress,” “Adventure,” or “Legends” and from there just select Adventure. Happy to help!
