I draw it today, but the idea is not mine. Hope you find it funny :)
Is it true?

And the cats, you forgot about the cats. Other than that... it needs to be a little more 90 degreeish. Though it's still a good presentation.

It needs to be further to the left. Like, all the way. I mean, what makes DF so crazy is it throws you right into worldgen and embark at the beginning, possibly the most confusing part of the game.  ;D

Flooding the area with magma removes blood, dust, vomit, goo, mud, and dwarves.
Also, I'm composing digital music over in the Forum Games part of the forums!

The amazing thing is according to the graph, once your gaming skill improves to a certain point you actually travel backwards in time!

So in other words, the only way to learn DF is to make time no longer 1:1?

Also, I can't help but notice you're saying that DF only takes a tiny amount more skill to play than Sim City.

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.
