What, you all thought he got the idea from the Super Mario Brothers?

I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

Implying Toady would be inspired by System of a Down of all things is pretty insulting, man.

As is that sentence. Inane, maybe, but only insulting if, say, SoaD ate babies* instead of playing music.

*I'm worried that this example of an abhorrent thing is going to backfire, vis a vis mermaid thread.

I have a feeling creatures like myconids are a much more likely basis for Toady's mushroom people. Though, it could just be a case of anthropomorphizing gone wild.

Regardless, I don't think the OP was trying to insult.

I most certainly wasn't; I kind of liked SOAD back when they were still making albums.
