You might be a dwarf fortress player if...
« on: August 28, 2010, 06:47:17 pm »

I got this idea when I was at a waterpark that had lots of fountains and stuff, and my first, entirely serious, thought was: "Man, that must be one hell of a FPS drain..."

You might be a dwarf fortress player if you close the door behind you as to not waste processing power on pathfinding.
You might be a dwarf fortress player if all your knowledge about geology is about what metal can be extracted from what rocks.

Now you think of something better.

You might be a Dwarf Fortress player if you try to butcher your cat whenever you run out of food.
You might be a Dwarf Fortress player if you strap babies to yourself as armour.

You're so sweet.  Why don't you just come in here so I can give you a hug.

You seem to be under the illusion that we give a shit about what happens to dwarves who are too dumb to live.

YMBADFPI you plan on a career in geology because hey, let's go find the HFS!

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

YMBADFPI you think to yourself regularly about building workshops out of a single stone.
YMBADFPI you think that all you need to expand the basement is a pickaxe.
YMBADFPI you start designing execution shafts...for use in real life.
YMBADFPI you start in on some critical, business-saving task...by taking a five-hour nap.
YMBADFPI you avoid having any friends of the opposite gender for fear of offspring via spores.
YMBADFPI you need alcohol to get through the working day.

If you accidentally lock the elves in the depot and wait until they're insane to capture them in cages and then lock the next group of elves in the depot and unleash the insane elves from their cages, that's still somehow your fault.

DF players don't really need to "avoid" that. Seems to happen naturally.

YMBADFPI if you name everything with a random combination of two nouns.

YMBADFPI you dream in ASCII- especially if the contents would be mistaken for some bizarre, hellish, fever-induced nightmare (miles of labyrinthine underground halls covered and filled with the excreta of several nations, mangled bones and limbs strewn about, bearing untold amounts of little people frantically crafting and killing everything illuminated by a combination of 100-z magmafalls and the fire-breath of several Eyless Chinchilla Brine Demons)
