That Quite a lot of DF's newer features are based off of other games?

These features were planned, like, 10 years ago, and I doubt Toady was influenced by any recently released game - usually he studies subject to far deeper degree, using trustworthy IRL sources. Like geology or medicine.
I tried to reproduce his world generation once, and could not find even good enough references myself.

Looks like you need to spend more time coding blocks before you can make masterpieces like Toady_One.

I vote to deport him, but that's too much work.

Oh, that's good. I don't think anyone would have cal

Wait, I just woke up. What happened in here?

First try

They should replace the terminator in the background with Akin... akin... akin... AKINATOR! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Even the name is similar! Guys, we are playing a simple guessing game with our future executioner.

This thing is a vicious cycle. It expends our knowlage untill we manage to guess somthing it does not know, and then uses that knowlage to expand itself. It'll know everything soon enough.

Skynet eat your heart out.

OP Doesn't understand that the most successful thing a human being can ever do to make something better is to copy it directly.

Seriously, in case you haven't noticed, humanity has built its greatest achievements by copying things from the past; only difference is that those old things have been improved upon and are typically given a different motif or other such small thing to distinguish it. This certainly isn't a bad thing IMO. Unless of course some big heartless corporation sues Toady_One, now that, would be very bad.

Personally speaking, it's all of these copied things that make DF unique. Of course, someone else made all those things before those people that you named who Toady_One copied.
