Has Dwarf Fortress made you look more like a Dwarf?
« on: January 20, 2011, 05:21:53 pm »

I know it's made me look more like a dwarf. I've managed to put on both flab and muscle, become at least 900% beardier, plus longer hair (and balding). I'm looking more rugged and generally haggard every day.

Has Dwarf Fortress made you change any other aspect of your life? I used to draw all sorts of things. Now I draw almost exclusively dwarfs. I'm starting to arrange things into neat squares. I've generally become more organised and interested in crafts. I'm looking forward to buying a house with a garden, so that I can build an underground bunker. I'm also eager to set up a workshop and build real swords and armour. I'm thinking about buying, or making, leather clothes, and growing my own food in my back garden.

It has motivated me to do more work on finishing the basement.

I like to grow my beard to a respectable length before cutting it. I started playing DF at around the same time so I'm not certain they are related, it does, however, make me laugh, having a beard, as a DF player.

Tall, thin, nothing resembling a beard... Eh, later maybe.

I shave and bathe more rarely if that counts. I don't seem to vomit more often tough. I also drink mostly water, and avoid alcohol. I think, I don't have enourg nice socks.

I am rather partial to wandering around wearing nothing except nine capes, but I'm not sure if this began before or after I discovered DF.

im going more bald....and im only 21 (about ¼ the way there)...and I really want to make a garden (shaped and tended like i do it in DF)...but that's for many reasons....but I live in an apartment...moving to another in a month...will most likely try and dedicate a room or part of one to an indoor garden because we are getting rid of a room mate.

I don't look good with a beard so I do shave but dwarf fortress has changed my opinion about fantasy worlds. I used to love elves.

I began playing in early November of 2008.

I now have a beard and seem much better at improvising elaborate contraptions to deal with minor problems.

EDIT: I used to love elves as well. Now they're more fuel for the fire.

I live in my basement, and with the recent inclusion of a minifridge and microwave, I can survive for quite a while in the event of a siege.

Still tall, still skinny, but I have sideburns, a beard, and a mustache at the age of 15.  I think insanely early facial hair is pretty dwarven.

I don't think so. I wear a beard more these days, but I don't think that's related to DF so much as to my beard tending to be fuller as I age a bit more, and thus looking better. In general, I'd say my perfection has remained unchanged.
