Hola, just saw that DF doesn't have this type of thread yet (got the idea from another great forum community I'm a part of) and decided to start one.

Introduce yourself - autobiography or just a word that has something to do with you - it doesn't matter. Post anything if you want to let the good folks of DF's community know who you are, how long you've been playing, when/why you're taking a brief hiatus.

I played DF back in 2013 and I can't remember shit about it. The controls/mechanics come back to me as I play the game, but nodding (the meat of DF imo) seems to be slipping away from me. I remember creating a cheat/debug character for examining fortresses in detail. It was a adamantine-scaled colossus with the dragon-fire reaction copy-pasted into the file along with another power I created (hurling molten moltite (high melting point metal) at targets) for terrorizing kingdoms and providing my later, legit adventurers to find (and recruit/be slain by).
I also had a terrible, virus-infested cesspit of a PC that had trouble running two-three-year-old fortresses with 10+FPS, so I got into Adventure mode a lot more. That is, until RL stuff got in the way and the laptop was mugged from me (poor bastard).
So here I am three - I guess four- years later playing it again. Helluva long hiatus. Awesome game, still, and Adventure mode seems a lot more fleshed out (people have other things to say beside "It was inevitable" now!) and animal men are integrated into the base races in forts and such, allowing for weirder characters (currently playing a lasher vulture).

Not strictly true: There have been multiple attempts at an intro mega-thread. None of them really took off.

It seems like it's not a feature that we've really ever felt was necessary enough to maintain a single thread.

Well, fingers crossed on this one, eh? Never give up on a fort before you've even struck the earth yet.

Holy carp, has it really been that long since "it was inevitable" was added!?
Feels like it was only recent, maybe a year or two ago when that went in. Whoa. I feel old all of a sudden.

Whatever the case, welcome back!

It is terrifying.

Holy hell, with the activity on so many other threads this high, no wonder those other coming and going threads never got a chance. Guess I'll have to post the most I can without going full-on shitposter.
