BREAKING NEWS: DWARF FORTRESS HELPS YOU EMBRACE THE IMMORAL
« on: November 28, 2008, 06:58:50 am »

I was watching a movie, set around winter in New York. I noticed the main character was wearing a big fur hat. My immediate thought was:

"He's wearing a dead beaver on his head"
"Why is that hilarious?"

I then went off on some tangent about where the beavers bones were and if his skull was a totem but I was surprised at my initial reaction. I thought about it and decided I was playing too much Dwarf Fortress. I immediately left and played some more.

After reading the "story" I think that...yeah...

I thought about it and decided I was playing too much Dwarf Fortress.

This must be true.  ;D

Dwarf Fortress changes normal people into evil, twisted dictators. The more you play it, the more and more you begin to favour killing off everybody in the population who isn't useful and turning everyone's pets into food, clothes and ammunition.

Here's something I read recently:
"Grandma Tilly wants to make a square quilt but only has eight pieces of square fabric. What cutting should she do to make the quilt come out correctly?"
The illustration features a cat sitting on the quilt with a pair of scissors hovering over them.

Now, as a Dwarf Fortress player, what solution do you think came to my mind first?

Playing a cheesemaker in an average Fortress 'round here would be. Freaking. Terrifying.

Build a furnace and change the adamantine reaction to make square fabric.

It felt a bit like a movie in which two stoners try to steal a military helicopter

Acctualy even being a dwarf fortress player, I think I thought up of a way to do it without using the cat. Where did you read this?

Isn't liking cats the dwarf equivalent of pedophilia?
Seriously, I think its a capital offense in 9 out of ten fortresses.

I quite like them for reasons other than eating them. Weird. I am a deviant and must be culled!
