Even in the event that was true, why would it matter?

To a certain brand of religious crazy anything from other religions or in any way involving supernatural themes is evil magic being used to corrupt children into demon worshippers.

Remember the D&D satanic panic?

... which is sadly not a parody but an actual artifact of the panic.

The movie was better

Nah, people in the 1980s were losing their minds over this shit. It would all be funny, but there are actually still people in prison because of the mass satanic hysteria, of which the Chick comics were a palatable product.

You can't "update" Dark Dungeons in the same way that you can't update "Duck and Cover". Both only make sense within the cultural milieu that created them, and they are darkly humorous only because of that. Duck and Cover is the friendly face of imminent nuclear annihilation and Dark Dungeons is the friendly face of the massive literal witch hunts that were going on in the 1980s.

You could make a better "Duck and Cover" movie, however it loses the "holy shit they really believed this crap" element, and the amount that it fails is actually an important part of the charm: The charm of the Chick comics is the same: the fact that the main character can't go visit her friend because she's "fighting the zombie" while playing D&D, completely by herself, adds to the charm, and the movie loses that.

Dark Dungeons the comic has pop-culture historical significance, the movie is just a pointless bad movie, and is only meaningful if you read the comic.

These people were accused of murdering the children and using necromancy to revive them. The Satanic Panic was utterly insane.

You should make an account on the official DF file storage, http://dffd.bay12games.com/ and upload it there.

Never buy drugs. Your friends can do it for you.

Where'd you embark and how'd you play the game? Of course it's going to be easy if you embark in a serene area away from war and aggression and close yourself into a mountain surrounded by miles of traps.

You very much choose your own difficulty in DF. If the game's too easy, make it harder. Embark in an evil wasteland and try to stave off the zombie apocalypse, make a military outpost near a goblin civilization to bring the war to them, create a dangerous aboveground megaproject to orbitally bombard your enemies, and so on. The choice is yours.

Actually, if you're so well off, you could probably start building up an enormous military and starting a raid economy. Maybe even ignite a war between civs.

There was a large hornet (about 2.5 inches long) in my back yard.  It was orange red. I nicknamed it Bogan because it would aggressively buzz up in my face as if to say "YOU WANT A FUCKIN GO CUNT" before flying off. It never stung me. We had so many good times, me and that hornet.

I was once watching a smaller but also quite large wasp struggling to carry a dead beetle twice its size. It would fly up in an arc and drop down because it couldn't handle the weight. Bogan caught wind of this and buzzed to it, stinging it and carrying off BOTH.

Where are you, Bogan? I miss you. 

You can revert to the old UI. Just add  -nochatui  -nofriendsui to your steam shortcut.

A Robloxer AND an Aerosmith fan? Could it get any worse?!

To think that all this time you were trying to hide your status as a Robloxer!
