198 - Your computer can access the Bay12forums even without Internet connection during a citywide blackout.

It does seem that for some reason I was able to access Bay12 a lot easier, back when I was on it all the time. Even when we were having nasty weather and and iffy internet connection.

Might be some sense to that, often browsers will save copies of frequently visited webpages to make them easier to load.  You may have noticed the devlog page still showing the last post from a few days ago while everybody is talking about the newest update for example.  Some browsers save a copy of that page and load that by default instead of updating it.  Which can be helpful when you have a bad or slow connection.

P.S. At least in firefox, refreshing the page always pulls the most current one from the website.  I imagine it's the same in the others.

So yes I could say that your computer can get a DF addiction.  Accessing the forums might be tricky, but the website?  Yea that can easily happen.

218: You've learned college-level geology without ever attending a class or opening a textbook.
219: You can identify stones by the colors. Brimstone is yellow, microcline is cyan! Of course, you find it difficult to tell basalt, mica, and slate apart unless you're looking at a rock wall.

220 - You punched an activist in the face when you went around cutting trees.
221 - You slaughtered a whole activist march and put the heads on pikes out side your house.
222 - You also added the cops heads to the pikes when they came round to have a chat because you thought they were skulking filth.

229: You have just lost your wife and children, so the best recourse to cheer yourself up is to go cry on the shoulder of the mayor.

229: Shortly after which, you calm down and cease to care because your dining room has a leaky ceiling and your first thought is: HOORAY! A WATERFALL!

Indeed, but for some reason he won't listen to logic.
