[P(ony)SI]

Did you all grow up on DOS or something?

No, but a CLI appeals to me more than a GUI. For me, typing commands takes less time than clicking something.

You put thinks in me head that make it go goo.

...So you're saying that operation P(ony)SI_CLI.exe has crashed Indigo_Surprise_logic.exe?

[Indigo_Surprise]

Indigo_Surprise has encountered an error and needs to be shut down.

Or maybe he is just being a silly unicorn filly who doesn't think straight, and considers anything that even remotely helps make the game more managable and less of an eye sore to be a cheat and all tileset/therapist users to be "dirty" and "impure".

I'm the only one here (it seems) that plays in ASCII. Make what you will of it.

I would play in ASCII, but I dunno how.

I enjoy having as much information at my fingertips as possible, without outright cheating (DFHack or whatever it is). I need graphics and I need a spreadsheet.

What I make out of it is that you are like a stupid eagle.

You have amazing eyes that can read ASCII where my eyes roll back into their sockets and attempt to commit sepoku.
The stupidity lies in that you refuse to use DFtherapist, an incredibly user friendly and near vital tool that makes DF a googoplexonian times less tedious.

BUT WHATEVS, if you want to stroke your hand against a cheese grater while skiing down a rocky slope then you do that, ain't gonna judge you guys, it would be pretty fucking hypocritical considering my DFhack use.

I mean, I like graphics, but text-based interfaces are the most comfortable for me.

Replica, I don't get how something like adding a GUI makes DF "a googolplexonian times less tedious".

(A googolplex would be equivalent to 10^{10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000}
To think about how massive that is, if you wrote down all the numbers starting from one edge of the universe to the opposite edge, and the numbers were the size of a Planck space, it still wouldn't fit in the universe.)

It wouldn't sound as dramatic if I said "DFTherapist makes the game significantly less tedious". :P

But for comparison here are what the two interfaces look like.

Spoiler: Vanilla Ingame (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Therapist (click to show/hide)

Just by looking at the options the two offer you get an idea what the big difference is and why I praise DFtherapist so much.

[Indigo_Surprise]

I absolutely despise continually going through lists when I shouldn't even have to. Dwarf Therapist lets you see the skill levels of multiple creatures at once, arranged how you want.

I'm being serious when I say that a text interface is faster AND easier for me than a graphical interface.

Do you own a computer mouse?

Yes.
As said before, I like graphics, but if I have to choose over a text-based interface over a graphical interface, I would choose the text-based one.

DF lets me change professions and see skills. I don't give a feth if there's a program that lets me do that more easily, tells me how much iron ore is on the map and gives me a blowjob at the same time; DF lets me do what I need to do, and that's good enough for me.

Really? You can disable all useless and dangerous labors from new migrants faster than I can with Dwarf Therapist?

HOW?! The vanilla UI is terrible. I'd have to sacrifice three virgins and chop the head off of a chicken to summon Satan to teach me to do that.
