Wait, WHAT?
« on: June 25, 2009, 01:57:25 am »
toad-edit: this thread brought to you by Photoshop

I knew that DF was quite strange from the very beginning. I also know the RNG sometimes produces funny results. But this is just weird. It's the strangest subtitle I have ever gotten.

He probably made sure something like that wouldn't appear on the main screen of the game ;)

It's really obvious: the letters are placed in tiles, and the subtitle isn't aligned.

Yeah, Extremely unaligned. You can see this in the I of Incest versus the k of Armok and in the D in Dwarf above it

Shop fail.

However, wouldn't it be possible to this -legitimately- by replace all the words in the category(ies) normally shown? Just copy all the untoward, etc into whatever the words normally there can be found in. Or add some of your own words. If you're really lucky, maybe you'll get "Histories of Dipshits and Elves".

The moment I saw this thread's title, Red vs Blue came to mind. I've gotten some pretty appropriate titles for dwarf fortress though-such as "Histories of Drunkeness and Slaughter".

From Mr. Welch's 1350 things he is not allowed to do in a RPG:
148. There is no Gnomish Deathgrip, and even if there was, it wouldn't involve tongs.
171. My character's dying words are not allowed to be "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur"
218. No matter my alignment, organizing halfling pit fights is a violation.
231. I am not allowed to do anything that would make a Sith Lord cry.
240. Any character with more than three skills specializing in chainsaw is vetoed.

Anyway, I'm locking this since I don't want it confusing people.

The randomly-chosen words in the title are hard-coded incidentally.  You'd have to change them by editing the strings in the exe, since they don't come from the raws.
