I always design forts in a manner I think the dwarves would "like." I'll sacrifice efficiency and ease for aesthetic reasons. I build passages that twist and curve. I design apartments and multi level houses. I just like my forts to be both visually appealing for me, and to make sense as if I was walking through them.

And I do like how I was accused of being a troll just because my name has a "big word" in it. It illustrates my argument beautifully that the use of internet slang has denegrated the English language. To attempt to discredit my argument simply because I used Execrated instead of MOARhated is exactly what I'm talking about.

Honestly? The fact so many people defend the use of meaningless gibberish is worse than using it. Should I post endless amounts of racial slurs just because other people do it? Will you attack anyone that dares to say it's wrong of me to use such words? Of course not, because you've been told it's uncool to use those words. But I see no distinction. They're perversions of the English language, and as such there is no reason to use them. And I'll continue to think poorly of anyone who thinks any slang is an acceptable form of communication.

Well you just refuted the theory that Dwarf Fortress attracts a more educated crowd. That guy who posted the theory on the Lamb-Chapyblin dipole is going to be disappointed.

I'm using a cellphone, which doesn't differentiate between the two. A grammar error attributed to quick typing or a touch screen phone is fine. Though my first sentence wasn't a question, it was contemplative which doesn't require a question mark. The intentional misspelling of a word is just idiotic. If you like it that's... No I don't care what you think. Just stop posting links to cartoon network gone wild please.

I have played DF on a 7 year old computer with 1 gb of RAM and I was able to get to year 4 or 5 before I started seeing any real issues. Now I play on a 5 year old computer with 3gb of RAM and I've never had issues. I haven't played a fort for more than 10 years though, so I'm not sure if it becomes an issue after that amount of time.

I am subscribed to only 2 forums, this one and another indie game forum. Both of them have recently had someone post a topic about how they don't like "x" and therefore the programmer needs to listen to them. Seriously? Have you seen the code for this game? Can you handle that kind of programming? I'm gonna assume no, because you're on here saying that Toady is dumber than you. Which means you're not on here telling everybody you have created Slaves to Armnotok: God of Hemoglobin Chapter II, Dwarf Castle which allows you to build a fortress from the ground up in a 3D, open world. It also sports Newtonian physics, the ability to have a population of over 1000, a full technology tree and AI so smart that if left to their own devices they'll become self-aware and rise up against you! Oh, and it will run at 10,000 FPS on a Commodore 64. I don't understand people like you. You created a bunch of worlds, ran them for 5 minutes, and then said they weren't playable. And then you came on here to insult someone for letting you do that for FREE. If you are as smart as you seem to believe you are, I cannot wait to play the game you create. When are you releasing it? How much is it gonna cost? I'm gonna pirate it, put it through a decompiler and then give the code away for free, but I'd still like to know what you think it's gonna be worth. How often will you update? Daily I assume since you're such an amazing programmer. And finally, how soon after you release it will it be ok for me to go on your forum and tell you how it's total crap, and that DF is a million times better?
