That can only be windows 95-2000.
How can your computer run dwarf fortress?

It's the Windows Classic theme. Y'know, for us crotchety old-fashioned types.

You kids these days, with your baggy pants and your rap music and your Facey-Space Tweety-pages. In my day, we wrote our websites by hand, in Notepad... AND WE LIKED IT!

Ungrateful young'uns.... Get off my lawn!

The 1st thing i do on a new install is turn off the hella ugly shit newstyle windows junk, it looks like a childs toy. Classic all the way! plus it's a million times more responsive.

It's funny because 1. Homestuck and 2. that was a legit random name and not with Putnam's excellent troll mod.

oi! i'm 21 and i use the classic theme, it just looks WAY better then that new bubbly crap.

Yea, I'm a 22 year old network engineer, Classic is the way to go. Check that taskbar. see all the shit u can put there yo. And you can read the titles of the shit you put there yo. You also save vertical room with the old style task-bar and menu-bars. And it runs that stuff on the cpu's spare cores instead of trying to make the desktop display microshits fuckin horrible 3d code. 0% cpu idle. Thats how I run my windows.

If your computer idles at 0% and u run some aero shit, then complain about the looks of mine, but I'm pretty sure anyone who complains about classic mode runs norton antivirus the greatest virus on earth. (you may have noted that I have antivirus running, but be known it does not check files on access, on write, or automatically scheduled.)

Yup this is Windows 7, Yup thats the REAL right click menu on the taskbar.

I've seen some pretty stupid names, but this one takes the cake

Some catchy ones:
Sadaya Skirtwatches -A short-lived elf adventurer and most likely huge pervert.
Stathra Reveredbaby - A legends baby who was kidnapped and later reunited with mom and dad. Touching.
Alene Pristinesheen - Not sure what this elf was famous for, but I think it had something to do with shampoo.

Once I had one called "First Bereavement, then the World!". Containing the secrets of life and death. I suppose the title made sense at the time...

This thread is amazing, especially:

In one of my old forts, I came across a dead goblin thief. 'Snang Assnang, Goblin Master Thief.'

Do you know what his name means?

Thief Masterthief, Goblin Master Thief.
