... Spend more time planning forts than actually finishing my Magma Spewing Dragon.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Quote from: Archimedes
"Give me a lever and a place to stand, and I will move the earth."

Now I have to build my next fort so the entire fort map is all supported by 16 supports, then link them up to a lever on top of a tower that goes as high as dwarvenly possible. Then I shall command said lever to be pulled, and rename whichever dwarf goes to pull it 'Archimedes'.

Also I'm now having mixed feeling about whether or not to get a kitten.
On the one hand, it's cute, on the other hand, cats have been proven to be evil, and on the other hand, it's a handy emergency food supply.

...I'm on here typing to a bunch of dudes instead of making love to beautiful women. No, that's a lie. If that were really an option I wouldn't be on my laptop right now...

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

...I take my pet rock to a geologist in order to find out whether it's an economic stone or simply another chunk of Gabbro.

I find myself disliking elves.

Even those LOTR or elder scrolls.

...I evaluate the siege defenses of any home I stay in.  Current one is the best, an apartment on top of a movie theater, with a locked gate at ground level as the only entrance.  The stairs/walkway leave a lot of room for firing opportunities and there are two possible backup cutoff points.  Now if I could just get the landlady to allow me to install that drawbridge and magma cannon, we'd be in good shape.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

... I can properly identify many metals and alloys in real life, such as adamantine and kordamakest, and I know many uses for them as well.

When I go into IRC rooms the user list looks like nobles standing around in a smoothed room with some biscuits.
