A DF based dream.
« on: April 21, 2019, 01:29:28 pm »

I had a strange dream last night where I was playing DF and things were... different. When I started, the text was too small. For some reason, dream-me pressed f12 and the screen's text changed from almost normal, to big, to too small again, and back to almost normal. Dream-me thought this was the best he was gonna get so he started playing adventure mode. The thing is, adventure mode looked different.

 Right next to picking the race was like a parchment with a picture of the races. The only one I remember with any real detail was the "sever human" race that popped up. It appeared four times in the list and each time I went down, the appearance changed.

The first one was the head of a green man with large pointy ears and a beard in a shawl of somekind. The next two were similar, but their ears were different kinds of pointy, like one had elf ears, the other had bat ears. The fourth "sever human" had none of these.

 It had a parrotlike head with no color and it looked like it was drawn in pencil, and I remember there was a description next to it reading something along the lines of "A humanoid known for its' curiously avian head."

So, yeah. That happened.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

This reminded me so much of the beak dog drawings by Zach and Tarn that it made me laugh.

Maybe one of those drawings got stuck in my subconscious and happened to reemerge as a parrot headed man thing, lol

Dwarf Fortress players: even in their dreams, they fight the UI.

One simply adapts, yet their subconscious still sublimely reviles at it.
