I've noticed that playing Dwarf Fortress has effected my general way of thinking about things in a rather !!fun!! way. And not at all involving as much magma as one thinks. I've begun to think of burial as a waste of good crafting materials and when ever I walk into a large stone building I immediately wonder why every inch isn't carved with the history of the people around. I see a horse and immediately think of killing off all the male foals but the most fit simply because I only need one male for all the females.  I find my room to be very nice because the walls are smoothed, I have a table and a throne, a cabinet and a coffer and even a statue. I feel like a noble!

How has dwarf fortress effected your outlook on things?

Whenever I come across stupidity in human bureaucrasy (be it weird rules or stupid employees), I just think of how much stupider dwarves are and how much more frustrating programming (and debugging) is.

Ah, if you could only get to the RAWs.

I realized today that DF is not that far from the truth. A Connecticut man broke into someone's house, punched the owner and then died in the bathroom.  SEE!!!

Sounds like a typical dwarven Saturday.

I've actually been thinking about how you could live underground.

But then I read World War Z (particularly the part about North Korea) and I decided against it.

1) Dwarfs get things done, DAMMIT!
2) The hardest part of programming, in a business enviorment, is defining what people want of you, and trying to figure out how they structured there business. From there you build a class diagram and a use case, and the 'programming' part is nothing. Even easyer is the scripting. Implmentation can be a bitch, but only when you need to teach somebody something. In short, progrmming is hard because people too dumb to know what they want.
