"Hey guys, my DF doesn't work. Suggestions?"

"Try altering your genetic code to better display the letter A"
"Try modifying your genetic memory to give you better access to resources"
"Try helixing your second set of DNA to free up processing space"

Sounds legit to me.  :D

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.
You beat a man to death with his dick?

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.
