$80 man.

The trial is free, and fully functional. Also, the license is worth the money, if you have it.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Ways to signal other civilizations: Nothing says "We're here!" like a bunch of nukes going off. Arrange nukes in the shapes of arrows pointing toward the sun, in far solar orbit. Have them be at all different angles and directions (though pointing to the sun). Detonate 1 arrow a day.

Edit: Or arrange them in clusters of prime numbers, detonate in sequence. Again, in far solar orbit, I'm not talking about on the planet. ;)

Undermine Dubai and leave it on its own little saucer thing seperate from the rest of the Earth. Launch Dubai towards Alpha Centauri.

Because Dubai needs another over-the-top attraction.

Exactly. When you show DF to someone, do you show them the string of shitty little caverns with no real design, or do you show them the awesome forts with planning and excellence?

I show them Boatmurdered, myself. Of course, then I hit them over the head with a bat, set them up at a computer running DF, and nail their lower arms to the desk so they can't get away but can reach the keys. I am the best friend in the universe.

I prefer more subtle ways of getting people to play DF, but hey, whatever gets the job done.

This almost sounds like a scene from a Saw movie...

There isn't even a dwarven word for "win".

I know what we need to do. We need to breach Earth's HFS, and colonize it. Overpopulation solved.

We must build a computer so powerful it can simulate the entire universe, and see if it can predict the future.
This reminds me of an interesting story. Also, it's likely that we're in a computer simulation right now. The world is just plain crazy like that. Crazy theories are even more crazy when they could possibly be true.
