I am quite looking forward to the next 20 or 30 years or so of developmental madness

I believe it has taught me how and why crossbows are not only the most badass thing on earth, but also are an instant NOOOOOPE causer when spotted with an enemy.

We should all be thankful that zombies DON'T actually exist. If reanimating biomes were out there anybody living in them would get fucked over by their own fingernail clippings. Even though we seem to think the zombie apocalypse would be cool all it would do is make is not go into that creepy-looking swamp as a kid that by all means any seven year old would delve into in hopes of adventure.

Also, aquifers make me glad I live above ground.

That developers can create better games if they apply themselves. DF is truly a masterpiece.

Welcome to Murdermachines. Try the gecko sauce; it's delectable and delightful, a wonderful blend of savory and spicy that makes any dish delicious without being too overwhelming.

(Warning: Do not ask about the manufacturing process for gecko sauce)
(Warning: Gecko sauce may cause acute respiratory failure on contact)

if anything, it destroyed my patience.. ;_; (new version when?!?!?!1/1/1/1/1/1/)







but in all seriousness i guess it taught me not only a few nice english words, but also i suppose the fact that if i'd be born in the DF world my stats would only suit a writer. ;_;

and i'd be probably squished by a carved rock easily.
