Fine, fine.
I'm looking at Dwarf Fortress' Desura page and reading through the low reviews. Funny stuff man.

Linkey?

Here.

My favorite review was "this game gave me 13 Trojan horse's!" If you can't download Dwarf Fortress, you should probably give up on the internet, at least for awhile.

FTFY
Possibly, though, he was referring to an FB.

A nice quote, even if he misspelled immature:

Not to mention that many, many other very populer games are heavily inspired by Dwarf Fortress, an example being Minecraft, and Towns. As much as the imature Minecraft community would like to deny, Minecraft and every game "based" off minecraft would never have come to be without this game.

Also, a good anti-graphics argument:

And, for all those whiners, that whine about the graphics, if this game had any batter graphics then it has now, even baisic flash stuff, your computer would probobly exlode into 1000 pieces, even the most advenced computer you can buy.

Didn't someone actually run DF on a supercomputer once?

On the graphics aspect, that's actually not true. Graphics run on their own separate thread, and well, use the GPU rather than the CPU. Plenty of room for improvement.

A person accused me of being racist for saying that you can buy bootleg DVDs in some Chinese supermarkets. I say this because I have been to China.

Yeah. People these days don't really know what racism is, why it's awful or that bootlegging is a lot easier than actually getting the official thing from Hollyolliwood in some places.
But you do also forget, though I'm not sure about Murrica, just about every country will have a market where you can buy bootlegged DVDs and bagels. It's Brick Lane over here, though most of the people selling the DVDs are Vietnamese not Chinese. It's quite ingenious really, the speed at which they can pack up and leg it when they hear the police are coming is stunning.

The reason for ASCII graphics is just that Toady doesn't want to bother spending time that could've been used on more features on graphics.

E:

(Also please don't get the lazy newb pack because the creators of the game wouldn't like it if you did. Really).

All my wat?

I actually have some bootleg DVDs from my grandmother, no idea how she got them but oh well. The Engrish in the subtitles and sometimes on the menus is amazing. In some war movie (Jarhead? I don't know) one of the characters is asked something about their father's death, which in the subtitles reads as "How long did your old bean man die?"

Also, somebody tried to argue with me that Citizen Kane was a boring movie because it was silent.

I have an email from toady saying he's slightly worried about eventually decompiling the whole game, but he seemed positive about it later on in an interview, and he's mentioned that he keeps a folder full of isoworld screenshots, so... I think he's cool with it.

Urine is mostly ammonia

I'm sorry my brain just packed its bags and left for greener pastures. Where people aren't idiots. Unfortunately, it can't find anywhere.

I wouldn't say that was amazingly stupid. While urine is 95% water the second largest component is urea. Urea and water(in the presence of urease) react to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. So if you leave a bucket of urine out for say, a week, you'll have a bucket of water and ammonia.

[frostshotgg]

Yeah, while he wasn't correct, he's not too far off.

Interesting side note, urea + water is extremely endothermic. It's what's in the instant ice pack things.

[Xantalos]

What I hate is when people pluralize words when that should be singular.

O_o

Now I will never use them again.

They use synthetic urea obviously, just like they don't make soap from water, ash, and animal fat anymore.

The plural of moose is moose.

(I might be missing something here though)

Fun with goose/geese, presumably.
