Dwarf Fortress, and its effect on your psyche.
« on: December 19, 2010, 01:14:02 am »

Last night I dreamt that me, some friends and other randoms were reclaiming a fortress.
The fortress was in terrible shape! Leaks on the roof! Goblins everywhere!

So yeah, only 7 people were actually working, and I distinctly remember saying "F*CKING IDLERS!" before going off and yelling at them.

Who else has had awesome dreams? Post and describe!

My god we are sad that we have dreams about DF.
I had a dream once where I dreamed that you could make blankets out of cloth and use them instead of beds.
I've had other ones too, but I've forgotten.

Iv seen people who haven't had a redheaded person in their family for quite a while, and then out of nowhere two out of three of their children have red hair.

Be glad your dreams don't look like minecraft and your fortress is being invaded by creepers and spiders and your squad only has leather armor.

I've had a dream where it was  DF gameplay, but MC visuals. Quite awesome, actually.

I once had a dream where I was in the military of my (at the time) latest fortress. We fought loads of goblins, but then elves showed up on one side, with elves on the other. I got stabbed by a wooden sword and that's where my dream took off into creepy geometrical territory, as they always do.

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 can remember having a dream where I was a dwarf in a fortress, only everything was still in the Dwarf Fortress modified ASCII graphics... and goblins had pickaxes along with the ability to dig.

I had a dream that I was living alone in a large, sprawling dwarf fortress.  My mental map of the place was all in ASCII and all my foods were little alphas and division symbols. Then, someone showed up with some ancient tomes detailing the location of seven magical MacGuffins that I needed to find in order to get the Big Magical MacGuffin to take over the world with, so I started packing my dwarven rum roasts and sunshine barrels and was going to leave when I discovered that I had, apparently, invited my parents to live with me in the fort a while back but had never noticed because the place was so damned huge.

Last night I dreamed that I created a 6.7 GHz CPU using Alien (Shofixti) technology with some wierd non-even asynchronous L1 data and instruction caches and 256 MB of onboard 3000 Mhz (PC24K) memory.  It ran a 32x32 map with 207 Z-layers and HFS exposed, 800 dwarves and 1000+ animals at over 900 FPS.  I marketed it and became filthy rich until a dwarf came out of the game and attacked me.  He hacked off an arm and both legs before I could respond by throwing a Mtn Dew can and decapitating him.  Then I bled to death.



What is the worst imagineable?  I am not making this dream up.

900 FPS...? If I had one dwarf, no animals, and a 1X1 embark I couldn't get that much.

I dreamt I was being chased, in ASCII DF tiles.

I once had a dream I opened up the HFS and put a metal sheet over it to keep things out.

Last night I had a very strange dream.  It wasn't related to dwarf fortress in content, but I remember the "plot" of the dream being fueled by me being in a strange mood.  I had to take precious items from my friends in order to make an artifact... never finished, I can only imagine I failed the mood.

Had a dream that a dwarf army was invading a hippie elf civ with mobile ballistas and catapults.


And everyone had cotton candy weapons and armor.

I had a dream my arm was severed off. I don't know if it was related at all to DF but I remember it vividly flying off in an arc!
