One of my nephews calls it the goblin killing game, i think. The other children don't seem to notice. My family only knows that it involves fire and booze, and don't care beyond that.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

She knows it involves slaughtering tons of random animals.  She plays MMOs, so she's used to killing hundreds of animals for no immediately apparent reason.

Yes, but DF kills massive quantities of animals for no apparent reason, and in fact no reason at all!  As you wait for the reason for your recent crundle slaughter to become apparent, you realize that there is no reason.  There are only axes.

The two things that are inevitable in any dwarf fortress are death and axes.

There is a very good reason to kill every crundle on the map: Crundles are assholes.

They inevitably make my dwarves fall down stairs and break various limbs.  Assholes.

It's my girlfriends favorite game for me to play. She loves it because it's quiet!

You could always mod in machine gun noises and explosions at random.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Soundsense!!!  ;D

My GF just calls it that 'ugly' game, even when I was using Mayday's graphics pack.  I've now moved on to Ironhand's and am waiting to see if her opinion of it improves.  All hope is not lost of converting her to the ranks of DF!

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

My girlfriend insists on calling it Dork Fortress, and sometimes feels threatened that I actually love it more than I do her

D;
if she smiles when she calls it dork fortress and you can tell she means it in a nice way, then shes a keeper.
if its the other way...

RUN!

Life (in dwarf fortress) is a cocophany of flavours, each more succulent than the last - why not sample them all?!

If it's any consolation, my dad once called it "Dwarves and Elves." I was quite tempted to inform him that the only place that elves have in this game is to be char-broiled in sweet, sweet magma.

EDIT: Apparently the tab button posts.

You see, here's how I think this works:
Overseer: Welcome to the military! You need to wear socks! Dorf: Oh, I should get military socks. My socks are civilian socks. Dorf discards socks Dorf: You know, I need a whole lot of gear now. I should get socks... last. Oh, but these steel boots with the white goo on them are nice!
I know you can pick up water, then throw said water, while underwater, to kill a fish -He_Silent_H

My one friend saw me playing it once and said, "Dude, what the fuck? Are you in the Matrix or something?" He has yet to refer to is as anything other than the Matrix.
Another friend calls it Dorf Forts. He's played it a couple times, didn't get into Fortress mode though. Elf.
My sister is quite possibly the best, though. She refers to it as *exaggerated sigh* followed by "that crap with the Dwarves." She gets tired of hearing me and her boyfriend talk about dumping magma on the unsuspecting gobbo hordes.

My Mom calls it "That DOS game you play." *SIGN*
My Sister calls it "Your silly Dwarf Fortress"
My Dad... Well, he honestly doesn't know what to call it. I think he called it "That Geology game of yours" once, though.

so far, i have no trouble convincing people to play dwarf fortress, which means that most of my friends are addicted to it

Well, except for those Multiplayer hogs
