The amount of goddamn times I have to explain what ddbcwkkkkk does. Followed by a synopsis of -what- Dwarf Fort is.

I actually did this. The teacher praised me for "letting the reader imagine the story themselves."

"Awesome."

I think I use this word more because of DF.

I use the word "dwarfy" as a philosophical concept.

I send text messages to my friends using DF ASCII to mess with them.  I know it's a goblin and my liason fighting on a smooth stone floor next to a prepared meals stockpile, but they don't...

I'm pleased I've got four people in to this game just through relating stories from my fort.

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

...I carved some elaborate and elegant engravings on a car with my -(Steel Key)-, thereby raising the car's value by an untold factor. The noble who owns the car should feel pleased for this.
...I've rediscovered the essence of things of fathomable complexity, and the reward they contain, that you get when you finally have your head wrapped around them.
...I am overwhelmed by the number of ores, minerals, metals, alloys and gems that exist, and I want to rename all of them to make things more... streamlined. Diamonds? No. Shiny tough glassrocks.
...I've learned that migrants are mostly a nuisance, except for Legendary Masons and Blacksmiths.
...I've learned that not all dwarves are equal.
...I've learned that buggy behavior may not be buggy at all. What you see could simply be the result of the behavior of an eccentric absent-minded dwarf.
...I've learned that insanity cannot be cured. It just has to be dealt with.

I was reading about how most of the  American Midwest is over a several million gallon aquifer, which is why it's possible to grow anything there (well irrigation). However, apparently it's being drained because more water is pumped out for farming than is replenished.

The first thing I thought was "sounds like those dwarves can finally dig in".
