“Dwarf children die from embarrassment at not being dressed at age 2”

Jan 20, 2026

I saw this screenshot the other day (link):

I never particularly liked those “cute” app updates that were all the rage some… 10 years ago? Or app updates that are too generic. I always felt the updates should be informative, and I occasionally like seeing what’s actually being fixed, and sometimes learning from it.

The post above is about a game called Dwarf Fortress that I have never heard of, despite it going on since 2006. In that game, actual descriptions of bug fixes often feel better than those creative app updates. Some examples:

  • Zombies start conversation with necromancer adventurer who tries to sleep in their house
  • Cats dying for no reason - alcohol poisoning?
  • Giraffe is trainable for war
  • Added mouths

PC Gamer some fun ones in 2016, or you can just go to Dwarf Fortress Wiki and explore on your own.

The game seems fascinating, by the way.
