[Yerv]

2001: You can relate to HAL from 2001:A space odyssey due to the similarity between you and it.

[Enemy post]

1994: When playing other games, you are confused by the term "hit points".

2002:Other games?

[Loud Whispers]

2003:



You saw the Dwarf first.

[CyberUrist]

You make DF-related references in regular conversation before realising that nobody else has any idea about it. Especially the machinations of your own personal fort.
I do this way too much. To the point where some of my closer friends understand them just through the context of the other references.

Also me

1982: I play the dwarf fortress menu and game mode musics as guitar practice at least twice a day.

Really? That's impressive.

1995: You don't buy a dog to guard your house. You buy a horse, camel or some other hooved animal.

Wait, why? Are hooved guard animals better at fighting or something?

2004: You curse the gray langurs for stealing your socks in the morning and then they get taken off the map.

2005: You intuitively know the key combinations for making most designations and buildings without having played Dwarf Fortress in a year. (That's me.)

Hooves pierce most armour due to their minuscule contact area. In the Adventurer Mode Discussion part of the forum there are so many stories of aspiring adventurers being brained by a single hoof through their +steel helm+.

2006: Was a great year.

2007: You immediately realized why 2006 was so great.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

DF was first released.

2008: You get a visit from the cops after your neighbours see you growing "strange purple mushrooms" in your garage.
2008.1: You had set up cage traps in case of a siege, and catch the cops.
2008.2: You just leave the caged cops in your stockpile because "they don't need to eat or drink, and I can sell them to traders later".

2009: You get in a traffic accident because you were NOT driving under influence.

2010: You Dig Too Deep when you try to find your socks at the bottom of the drawer.

[Hetairos]

2011: You've successfully taught your little brother about the invincible, bloodthirsty beast called carp.
2012: You think we should build way more things out of stone.
2013: In your opinion, all the problems with garbage could be easily solved if we just dumped it into volcanoes.
2014: Upon hearing that the construction of a new railway station in your city was halted by an unexpected underground lake, you are hardly surprised.

2014: Upon hearing that the construction of a new railway station in your city was halted by an unexpected underground lake, you are hardly surprised.

It seems like the underground features are nowhere to be found until you need a large area for building things. Then they're one block into your planned noble slaughterhouse quarters.

[noodle0117]

2015: You begin admiring the craftsmanship quality of tables, chairs, and doors.

[Urist_McSwitzer]

2016: You always buy small quantities of meat x2, congratulating yourself on getting free bonus containers.

[gtaguy]

2017: You throw horrible tantrums and kip all your friends, then feel horrible for killing your friends. Repeat ad. infinium.

[reded88]

2018: You have been possessed by unknown forces to craft a legendary sandwich.
2019: When you fight, you enter martial trance then bash their heads in with your 2 year old brother for 30 minutes.
2020: You think people are a renewable source of manual labor and entertainment
2021: You have a refuse pile outside your doorstep

[misko27]

2022: You feel the need to announce every single thing you deem a "masterpiece".

[Icecoon]

2023: Your advanced version of menacing spikes will keep the uninvited forgotten friends at bay now.

[ICBM pilot]

2024:you have a menacing steel spike that menaces with spikes of steel and has images of elves dieing in platinum.

[Mesa]

2025: You think that ASCII is the only true beauty when it comes to graphics in games.

I'll take a good ASCII than a bad tileset any day.
