That seems almost delicious when you compare it to the kitten tallow biscuits i had for lunch.
That would just taste like butter.

"I can't believe it's not butter!"

Have you ever eaten biscuits made entirely of butter? Yeah, I think I'd rather have just about anything else.

So it turns out that dumping magma on skeletons is either a really bad idea or maybe like the best idea ever.

Because of DF I look at random friendly animals and wonder what they would taste like as sweetbread.
You realize sweetbread is the urine producing kidneys... right?

lol.

Sweetbread:
1.
Also called stomach sweetbread. the pancreas of an animal, especially a calf or a lamb, used for food.
2.
Also called neck sweetbread, throat sweetbread. the thymus gland of such an animal, used for food.

Not necessarily kidneys from a technical standpoint, although I'm sure some people do call kidneys by such a name when preparing them as food.

Because of Dwarf Fortress, I regularly have the overwhelming urge to attempt to build a castle, which would be both my home and my workplace, and able to house up to one hundred and ninety-nine other people who would also live self-sufficiently within its walls.

They're called croissants.

:D

This is a kitten tallow croissant. It is composed of finely minced goat milk butter, finely ground cave wheat flour, dwarven rum, and finely minced kitten tallow.

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then youkill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.
Dwarf Fortress: So horrifying the players would rather talk about nice things, like Warhammer 40k.

I frequently search up how to dig tunnels and build below ground level shelters. Also I desire a pick axe or a collapsible shovel.

Whenever any mildly significant action occurs, I shout DF combat announcements. Writing, for instance: The Human stabs the Pencil into the Paper, jamming the graphite into the plant fiber!

My answer to just about everything is magma. In fact, most threads end up with me running in screaming it

I'm tempted to do what Terry Pratchett did.

As am I, admittedly. It's really quite a very nice looking sword, although I much prefer shorter, curved blades for my own use.

... I now have a pretty good idea of the solid densities for most common rocks, minerals, and types of wood.

Also, I may soon have a piece of Saguaro wood, just so I can determine its material properties experimentally.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

I now assess every food item I see on its potential to be used as an improvised weapon.

(And if it'll brew nicely).

I did that long before DF was so much as a twinkle in ToadyOne's eye  :P

I just realized, after adding the new body parts to the other races, that I have an entire squad of dwarves with a shield in each hand and swinging their axes with their penises. There's nightmare fuel for those goblins, in more ways than one.

I wonder how good guts would be as a weapon.

I shit you not, I've actually thought that once.

I regularly say "But that not !!FUN!! enough" or ""but that's the !!FUN!! part!" pronounced in that fashion.

Of course, most people (i.e., not DFers) can't tell the difference, so they just go "No, that's not the fun part," etc.

You see, here's how I think this works:
Overseer: Welcome to the military! You need to wear socks! Dorf: Oh, I should get military socks. My socks are civilian socks. Dorf discards socks Dorf: You know, I need a whole lot of gear now. I should get socks... last. Oh, but these steel boots with the white goo on them are nice!

That craze in the USA for elf ears... I think some magma might be needed there...

Forgotten Beasts seem to be akin to Toady playing Dwarven Roulette with your fortress, as they can be anything from harmless giant worms made of mud to necrotic-gas spewing nigh-invunerable iron hydras of doom.
