Loosing is FUN, but also a damn sight annoying
« on: March 19, 2011, 02:19:35 pm »
That is why I have this song open at all times while playing DF, ready to go.

Anyone else have a certain way to 'relax' ?

Huochong sounds like what you hear when a ninja hits somebody with a frying pan.

"HUOOOOOOOOOO-"

I bought out a warehouse full of plate-glass windows, and I go in there and throw plastic chairs through them.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Possibly one of the most calming songs ever.

I wish these things worked for me... I realize losing is fun, but when I accidentally screw something up on the fortress I have been playing for weeks, leading to it's demise, I usually get so frustrated I stop playing DF for a month or so. It usually comes around the point where everyone in the fortress is friendly, and I decide it's a great idea to hit the caves and pump water and magma up...Always a mistake... I always come back eventually though :)

Good luck breaking 6mm glass with a plastic chair.  I work in a factory that makes plate glass windows and you have to hit it HARD to break it, especially when tempered.  The last time I was trying to help them break some so we could get it into the trash, I had to whack it with a metal shovel several times.

So, yeah, it's tougher than you might think :)

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

NOT losing is worse. I have a fully functional fort, building a decent military, and have safely mined quite a bit of adamantium. And there is NO OTHER METAL on the map save tetrahedrite.

And there is no goblinite.

Well if you remove the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag from dwarves I think they have like 2-4 children each time they give birth. And if you get enough mothers up on the pillars you can probably get a good waterfall going.
