New player, want to say hi
« on: December 18, 2019, 02:19:16 pm »
Hello! I wanted to say hi to you all and express my appreciation for this community. I have some trouble with anxiety irl and I find this forum and the DF community at large to be just so wholesome and good for me that I had to drop in and let you know.

You guys are awesome. Toady, you're the man. I am so excited about the directions you take the game in. When I was a young kid, dreaming of imaginary worlds and games with my younger brother, we wished for games created by people with a vision for something great, and I didn't realize I'd find something like what we talked about, actually realized. It may sound odd but my life is better because you made dwarf fortress. Don't have much money at the moment but someday soon I'll be trying to help you out!

And community, whoever you odd and hilarious people are, thank you. I know few things that make me laugh out loud as often as reading some of the things you guys write. You know what would be really awesome? Maybe someday there will be a dwarf fortress convention or something and I'll get to meet some of you oddballs =)

Thanks again you guys are awesome

Enjoy your stay âbirtobul.

You could always spread it around and paint the floor of your house with the blood of your enemies.
You could very well go for a Christmas themed house, all green and red from blood and vomit. Deck the halls with spilled intestines. Fa la la la la, la la la la!

There was at least one out in Washington State where the Adams live. Not sure how many people were there or if it's a repeating thing, but it's been done. Hopefully I'll get to go to one later on, after I've actually succeeded in recording some videos of the game.

I'd show up to a DF convention, provided it is within walking distance and/or the airlines have begun accepting white rice as legal tender.

Also, welcome!

May your days of scrolling be long and fruitful, your debates catty and passive-aggresive, and your discussions wholesome, helpful, polite, and deeply snarky.
