Dwarf Fortress: Some games are sandboxes. The thing about sandboxes is you need to go out and buy a pre-made bucket in order to do anything besides blobs, and then your options are still limited to whatever you can make by combining lots of pre-made bucket shapes.  Dwarf fortress is an arc welder in a junkyard. 

I think you could boil that down to:

Dwarf Fortress: Some games are sandboxes. They're still limited to the buckets applied. Dwarf Fortress is a mad genius with an arc welder in a scrap yard.

I added the 'mad genius' bit, since it seemed appropriate *cough*magmadeathtraps*cough*

It's like Schrödinger's cat spinning violently around your head vomiting multicolored flickering 1s and 0s on your eyeballs just trying to contemplate that on any meaningful level.

Fixed, slightly.  And I like that.

Until the next version, whereupon it will spread to the whole world, with much laughing and application of magma.

That game is Dwarf Fortress."

...but their muscles would also end up looking like someone wrapped pink steel bridge-cables around a fire hydrant and then shrink-wrapped it in a bearskin.

HEY, you should try my Dwarfletter tileset...it's pretty.

Dwarf Fortress: The only God Game that makes you believe God exists and is acutally having Fun!

If you're wondering why a benevolent God lets bad things happen, you've never played DF.

I loaded up my save in the new version, spent a minute trying to find my archery range before figuring it was the room with Xs down both sides: bins of ammo and archery targets.
Urist McCrossbower cancells practice crossbowery: Unsure of which end of the room to shoot at.

No, Dwarf Fortress is like "God? Hey, God? Yeah? You listening? God? You are listening? Good. Fuck you."

God has burned to death in the magma
