This article catches one of those typical moments of dwarf fortress. A moment where you are mining through the menus of something new you haven't tried before, and then being gobsmacked by the options available to you. In this case, when the author got to looking at his list of possible actions he finds that he has a huge list of poems he can recite. And then you can actually recite them to the audience and have people respond to it. By all criteria of code and project management that's just a huge waste of resources to code up. But it is so much fun to read. What bugs me a bit about DF stories of late is that I don't see many which engage with the new and weird mechanics the game has introduced. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I've seen very few videos/gifs of dances in the game, or even people messing around to show what that bizarre musical instrument the game generated was like. (I remember something like a stone keyboard/glass organ)
