When Dwarf Fortress creeps into your daily life
« on: September 13, 2014, 09:35:18 pm »

I have some cookies here and it says on the container "Cotton Candy Flavored".  I thought, "So this is what that stuff tastes like!"  Also, I told a friend via email about my day as if I were a dwarf in game:  "She ate well recently.  She gets paid soon.  She was disgusted by a miasma on the bus recently.  She started a new job recently.  She talked to stupid people on the phone recently."  Funnier still (to me) someone on the news said something about the President issuing a mandate and I thought "Only a matter of time before he starts demanding slade in the dining room",

Heh.  This game has invaded my life :D

Was it fun, or Fun?

Both, if I recall correctly, though it was mostly designating floors for construction.

Had a horrible/amazing dream where I was a dwarf in fortress mode. It was cool, killing crundles and goblins, until I had to go into a coinstar+spear trap danger room with dead puppies... *shudders* It was terrifying.

It is sad, but not unexpected.

I find myself perking up weirdly when I hear the words "flux stone", "pig iron" or "steel".  I'm like "oh boy, this is a promising site! err... overheard conversation :/"

I visited some mountains, and I saw they had iron sticking out of them and I just wondered if they had flux stones to go with it...

Someone was talking about the original Snow White story, which is quite gruesome (written by the Brothers Grimm). Basically, Snow White is presumed dead so the Dwarves sell her "corpse" to the Prince. "That's what Urist would do," I commented. People thought I was drunk.

I vividly remember being amused by how I'd 'admired a fine door recently.' It must have been in a dream or something though, because most real life doors around here are fairly shit.

I've taken to using "Fun!" as an exclamation of danger.

It's a dwarf.  Their natural habitat is "trapped on the wrong side of a wall".

Flinging children halfway across the map to land in magma is good, wholesome fun, but extramarital reproduction?  Why, that's just unseemly!

My wife and I were walking downtown when we came across an unfinished section of sidewalk - it was as if someone had simply not put the last piece of it in.  I told my wife one of the workers must have been standing on that spot at the same moment (s)he was trying to place the sidewalk tile.  I don't think she got it, but I was just hoping some random passerby would grin knowingly.

I do this, too (I do most of these things, actually).  there's a sculpture (I guess?) made of a huge square chunk of marble in Downtown Denver.  Every time I see it, I think "What a waste of flux!  Damn nobles."  I'd rather keep my town free of magma though :D

Glad you're all right.  But think of it this way: You're hardened now!
