Dwarf Fortress in Real Life
« on: January 12, 2013, 11:01:47 pm »

I bet that guy was a hit with the ladies. I mean, I imagine it'd go something like this:

"Hey there, I'm Dale Peterson."
"Hi, how are you?"
"I'm alright, but my arm's sore and my jaw's a bit stiff."
"Oh, really? Why's that?"
"Getting bitten by and then responsively biting and killing a grizzly bear while unarmed. No big deal."

I think it'd go more like this:

"Hey, I'm Dale Peterson."
"Hey there, nice scar. How did you get it?"
"I got in a fight with a bear."
"Oh, yeah?"
"Yeah, you should see the bear!"

At that point he pulls out his plaque and preferably a picture of him and the bear which he keeps in his wallet. Otherwise he'd look like a schmuck

If I were him I'd get a bearskin rug commissioned with the coolest story behind it ever.

Yeah this certainly sounds like adventure mode. Kind of hard to feel heroic when your primary attack mode is to sneak up on someone and throttle them from behind before ripping their jugular out with your teeth.
