You try to use the '<' and '>' to navigate the DF boards.

You can appreciate how much your walls look like a '#'.

And your primary response to anything upsetting is to either shrug it off or throw a tantrum and destroy stuff.

[Fishersalwaysdie]

We already have two of these...

[Metal Chao]

When you DIE AT THE COMPUTER BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T EAT, DRINK OR SLEEP.

...

Am I taking this too seriously?

Yep, we do

[Haven]

When you one day think of your house in DF terms... And your whole life suffers.

You try to engrave your walls.
You get rid of your currency so you don't spend forever hauling it around.
You designate an area in your yard for walls and floors and wait for people to get to work.
You decide to move to Hawaii for the magma.
Or Death Valley for the Chasm.
And are convinced that Japan has the HFS.
You refuse to go to the supermarket, convinced that their caravan will be along any time now.
You buy a small apartment complex for the next batch of immigrants.
You threaten your friends with the Hammerer if they don't dig out another fort.
You realize that you're only part of a community fortress once the Fortress Guard throws you in jail for trying to enforce that threat

[Greiger]

Even I'm unsure of how that works, either it's necroing or reposting...oh well.

While driving down the road an image flashes into your head of a top down view of your car and the surrounding ones in ascii.

No no no, here, let me show you:

As you can see, this design offers

░ = Steel (or iron if you're Citroën)

▓ = Clear glass windows for your viewing pleasures.

> = Access stairs (ramps for handicapped persons available with slight modification)

╥ = Top-of-the-line granite bucket seats for maximum comfort.

ò = Combination gear shift/Trunk opener for convenience and accessibility.

╔═══╗
║+++║ = Only the finest  trunk lids available for our cherished customers.
╚═══╝

% = Our models provide the highest degree of trunk space in the business, allowing you to store more Kitten™ designer apparel than any other line.

As you can plainly see, we at Tekkud Autos inc. care for our customers in every possible way.  We provide models suited specifically for the dwarf-on-the-go with barrel-holders for caffeinated rum, the beardball-mom  with folding seats to accommodate the extra dwarflings fresh from practice, and the young stallion with our magma-cruiser design, fueled by prime Grade-A molten magnetite.

We also carry imports, such as the elven party van with its fanciful side designs and small indoor farm plot, the goblin troller (popular with the macho-dwarves for its menacing spikes and powerful tires capable of crushing smaller models underneath its tread), as well as the ever-popular human Parkalot™ model, with inner screw pump hydraulics for bouncing the rope reed dice on your dashboard.  

Happy Driving

How to know when you've played too much Dwarf Fortress:  Read post.

[Keiseth]

Well, I had something to say but it would be dwarfed (hehe) by the quality of Kagus' post.

[Sean Mirrsen]

One more reason to want custom-designed vehicles in DF.

And just today, as I was coming out of sleep, (the well-known "controlled sleep" phase) I was looking a wrestler fighting a minotaur, and I controlled his movements using what seemed to be the alt key and arrow keys. Fighting happened on a multi-level construction akin to a goblin fort, but it was getting smaller with height, in several large "steps", with falls of two or three "levels". The fight didn't go all that well, the fighter got thrown off the edge of one floor, then the minotaur jumped down after him and the dream ended when the fighter was dodging the minotaur's roundhouse kick Neo-style.
I guess it means I've been doing too much work on the Martial Arts mod...  

[Fishersalwaysdie]

One day if you make martial arts mod do that, you will win teh internets.

[shadow_archmagi]

When act as if fire doesn't exist and simply go to bed if you catch fire.
When, to help cope with the recent death of your wife, you buy an expensive table and are thus content.
When you build a flood trap and lure hippies into it.
When you cover your yard in cage traps for the extra food income.
When you try to farm in your basement.
When you appraise things by calculating base worth times material and quality modifiers.
When, as a defense against muggers, you carry some water, confident you can pierce his eye with it if need be.
When you assume that, once angered, every policemen in the country will hunt you to the death.

[Kronos]

When you don't take a break from work because it's annoying.
When all your swearwords become 'Armok' or 'Elf'.
When you wake up one day to realize you do, in fact, own a mouse.
When you wonder what purring maggot cheese or plump helmet tastes like.
When you want to lock heads of government in rooms with a skylight for dropping food and drink into when they try to 'mandate' something you don't like.

[Slappy Moose]

When you come to a wall and try to "d" "enter enter" it away.

When you try to make stonefall traps at your house's front door in case of a goblin siege.

When you hate people who have pointy ears (or maybe you do that anyway).

When you see the wrestling channel, you ask if any of them are legendary or champions.

[Shanba]

You decide the best way to start a riot is to strangle your next door neighbours cat.
