This morning I found myself looking at the numberplates of the cars on my drive in to work and seeing them as tileset characters in ASCII... a silver Renault I was behind had an interesting scene of a Human wrestling a Minotaur near a bin.

Oh my... gotta sig this one

It deserves it.

An abnormal fascination with goblins. Who, before Dwarf Fortress, I only viewed as fantasy cannon fodder.

I've noticed this one happening too, also same with kobolds

Yesterday during the lunch, guess what I was doing? Yes lunching,  in front of me there was a bowl full of delicious tomatoes and there was a particular tomato slice , it was the most delicious, gorgeous and sexy tomato slice in the history of humanity I just needed to finish chewing what i was eating so I could try the supreme pleasure! But the other person who was lunching with me thought faster and in a swift movement took the tomato slice and proceeded to eat it.

I have developed a problem where no game is good enough because health is tracked by numbers.

Me too!

Me three.

You know what, I suggest you play a game completely opposite to DF: An extremely simple, reaction-based 2d physics game with levels drawn in vector graphics, like a cave flier or a motocross game. Try Xmoto, it's awesome (and awesomely hard, so you can spend LOTS of time with it).

[DrKillPatient]

Occasionally, after extremely long bouts of DF using the default tileset, I'll see an object whose height is roughly twice its width and briefly think that it's actually square.

My problem is that all other games objects are separated by classes/types like in skyrim, you can mine and do other kind of jobs to extract materials, you can melt/cut/enchant/mix those materials to create a usefull matterial and finally you can transform them into armor pieces, weapons, jewlery after taht you have 3 or more options : Enchant, sell or use the item. The production cycle ends there.
In DF you can mine to gather materials, melt the ore, create a weapon sell it or use it but when you need +coper mugs+ you just melt the weapon and transform the resulting material into mugs and the cycle keeps spinning.
And DF's items have a variety of uses you can even use vomit as a weapon!

[Loud Whispers]

Peskyninja, it's harder finding something in DF that can't be weaponized.

This is a masterwork thread. It menaces with spikes of text.

says a remarkably large amount about what it is doing to you.

sometimes I end up thinking of something epic, start to feel like I really want to do it, then realise I'm acting like a dwarf in a strange mood, and the idea simply goes to the back of my mind once i think about it logically. (I had a thought about learning how to forge, realized that it was stupid and alot like a dwarf in a strange mood (how was I supposed to learn it, and how was I supopsed to get a forge going?) then simply gave up. all within 5 seconds)

Go into a fell rage, roar with laughter, butcher some bread and make master work toast with images of itself and you screaming around some buckets in a foetal position.

Whilst a cat is prostrating itself around an inverted carp.

If I could track the honour received from getting sigged, it'd be like [            ] this much.
(I'm terrible with quantities D:)

There's a mod which lets you melt things down in Skyrim.

It still needs more digging... And vomit... And DF.
