I just tried to back out of a menu in BIOS.

With space.

LOL

I also had a dream that was some funky DF TF2 mix thing, unfortunately I don't recall the details of it.

"If you can't build a tower upon a sheer cliff face over which you may throw precisely one hundred and fifty-two kittens and seven stalwart dwarves to their explosive doom some fifty stories below, then brother, your game ain't much of a sandbox, is it?"

Now, I am not sure if people think differently, but I was walking outside after school, and I noticed on the ground there were ant hills. They were tiny ant hills, and I appreciated the work they had done for a moment. I looked at the series of hills that probably connected together, vertically and horizontally, amazing. What rooms connected, where they stored food, eggs, and so on. Where their queen was. So, after thinking about it, I destroyed it. Losing is fun right? xD I decided to give those ants a little fun.

Anything you think of differently?

Parhaps introducing you to DF wasn't such a grand idea after all.

Volfram has been unhappy lately.

He has lost a good friend recently.  He has lost a friend recently.  He has been frustrated at work lately.  He has enjoyed violence lately.  He has lost a friend recently.

"Man it's hot today. Why isn't my grass yellow?"
"Digging through clay to make supports? Gimmie a pickaxe and this should go fast!"

 All these thoughts and more happened within the past month.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I haven't really been playing long enough yet, but let's just say I've considered putting a tactical moat in my garden.

I've been wondering why some cultures depend entirely on livestock. Don't they get horrible lag?

Yeah, playing dwarf fortress makes me wonder what these odd meats would taste like (sea lampreys, dogs, cats, exotic sharks, ect) and wondering how much animals on the Discovery channel would be worth if their fat was rendered down into soap.

Back in the day when I created levels for Doom II, I'd notice and admire certain architectual things on buildings that could be possible to replicate in Doom's engine. Those monolithic concrete government buildings that were popular in the 70's and stuff, and I'd be thinking "Man, this building would look great in a .wad" and I'd be thinking about how to translate the structure into the dimensions and the textures of the editor.

DF has made me think about, of all things, religion.

Okay, say there is a "creator". How do we know he's the only one out there. Maybe one super being coded the world, one generated the world with certain parameters, and then handed it off to a different super being "because it has some really nice fjords!".

That superbeing starts playing around with the started civs, and decides it wants to run a succession game... And so on, you see where I'm going. If anything, stuff like this makes MORE sense than classic religous suppositions! And thus I can thank dwarf fortress for making me think of every creature in this world as a pawn of some behinds the scene power who might have a bit of moral responsibility towards but hell, lets be honest, it's just in this to entertain itself!

When my boss told me that I was supposed to go and move some of the boxes from the new servers we got in the other day, I told him that I didn't have the Refuse Hauling skill and we should have one of the peasants move it.

He did not think it was nearly as funny as I did...

Once a stair fell, and rather than knock him one or two z levels down, as usually was the case, he went rolling down the central staircase, hit the bottom and exploded.

Joke's on you. There's no refuse hauling skill. It's a task.
