Hi, I'm Kingsdragon and I'm addicted to DF
« on: July 10, 2012, 12:12:21 am »
Hi. I'm addicted to DF and have been for a year now.

It started with light touching... starting up the game... getting frustrated over not understanding the dynamics or ASCII symbols, various times I'd quit. Then I would see someones fantastic story loaded with !!FUN!! and I'd say 'I wanna do that!' and I'd try again. If DF has taught me one thing... it's

DF has a steep learning curve and that is what really makes the game. It is what has had me hooked from day one. I am sure many of you have just nodded at that, I know I am and I just wrote it!

I find myself lurking the forums when I can't play or reading the wiki. Thinking up of ingenious ideas as to how to creativily I can kill the next lot of unfortunate beastlies that come my way. Or maybe just designing a nice punishment for that idiot who put !!JUSTICE!! on my favorite weaponsmith for not making stupid brass trumpets.

Or sometimes I forget about the time when I'm playing and suddenly It's 2AM and I have work in 4 hours. Damn you, DF. Damn you. Could be that sometimes I find myself explaining the game to someone for a good hour just so they understand enough to laugh when I tell them the story about the danger room attempt that ended badly.

It's games like this that keep me entertained. Don' get me wrong, I love Mass Effect 1,2,3 and all those beautiful games but it's the unique replay value you get  with DF that will suck you back in even if you drop it for a few months. (Blasphemy and curses upon you!) I'm going right out and saying it... DF is the chess of computers.

I'm Kingsdragon and I'm addicted to Dwarf Fortress.

If anything like the above sounds like your story of !!FUN!! you may be addicted to DF. There is no help for you or me. And if there were I'd probably lock it in a room with

Thank you for reading!

No help? Nonsense! I will not stand for such defeatist talk, not on these forums! You simply need to drown out the mental beckoning of your DF addiction with another addiction! I suggest meth.

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?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

The first paragraph is something we see everytime on bay12.. LOL.
I was scared off for a year back in 31, so I never saw 40d yet. I came back in 34 and ever since then I used tile sets, but when I read storys like Boatmurder (Oh my god.) and all those other ones I officialy decided to play it in ACSII. Now I can picture myself in the eyes of my dwarf. :) Welcome to Bay12 :P

No, because you felt bad for the potential dwarf leather just out of your reach thanks to those damn hindrances we call morales.

The logical step to come over this horrible phobia is a proven therapy, known as mermaid farming.

Meth you can get help for. DF owns my soul now.

Felt bad? I felt terrible. I let them rot in the locked warehouse though. Didn't have enough coffins
