Dwarf Fortress has taught me that an army of rabid Badgers will always be the key to victory. Fear the War Badgers.

I also look at old castles and mining operations around the world..infact everything i look at i wonder how it could be recreate in DF for the glory of the mountainhome.

If violence isnt solving your problem then add magma.

Fiance thinks I play DF when starved for sex. SO I make sure she sees me playing every now and then. So DF usually gets me extra sex.
I'm probably going to hate myself for asking this, but why exactly does your significant other believe that playing Dwarf Fortress is a symptom of sexual frustration?

Because his fiance like beards? or beards that smells like alcohol and plump helmet cookies?
I think she secretly plays DF.

I've developed something of an obsession with magma and lava since I started playing DF.

I find myself wanting the elves to bring me 'enough' cloth, so I can brutally murder the caravans they send, and have two sieges a year instead of one. >:-)

Dwarf fortress has made me set megaprojects for myself of unreasonable difficulty with little point in other games, like collecting every milk bottle in fallout, or making a model of the tower of babel in minecraft....entirely made out of watermelons.....and populated by golems that i overturned a contient by hand to get the raw materials for. a guy can hope :'D

Aside from that, being rational is not only optional, but is frowned upon.  We hate elves.  We kill for socks.  We sacrifice nobles.  We love kobolds.

"A vile force of merchants has arrived!"

Dwarf Fortress influences my thinking for my job waaaay too much. This is a problem, since I'm technically an engineer.

I occasionally have to remind myself that physics does not really work that way.

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.
Check out my RtD!

The Music in Dwarf Fortress relaxes Me.
There is something very, very wrong with you. 

Every time I hear a slow-strumming guitar, I start expecting a giant three-eyed tick made of diamond to jump out of the shadows and bite my face off.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

It makes even the most graphically advanced RPG seem like watered down garbage because they are all so limiting.

Even with the broken features, and lack of many things that are going to (eventually) be included, Dwarf Fortress has more complexity to it than any other game out there. AND IT'S FREE!

Considering that going to the movies cost several dollars Dwarf Fortress pays itself.

I think about dwarves more when I see them. I don't see them as the short humans with long beards, chronic alcoholism and giant axes anymore.

Also, when I see the name "XXblahblahXX", I think "low quality name" instead of "stupid user"...
Wouldn't it imply "low quality user"? >:D

Sure has caused me to snicker a few times on other forums.

On a related note, I now think about everything in «*quality tags*».

I dream of fortresses of unimaginable complexity and sieges in which hundreds of thousands die, I dream of leading an archaeological expedition into one of those forts and gleaning a bit of history before getting devoured by untold horrors.
I have trouble sleeping lately.

Adventurer mode makes me wonder how nice I'd be if it was 500 A.D. and I knew no one would ever catch me if I kept moving town to town...  Damn inner sociopath...

You'd probably starve to death. People did that back then.

Quote from: Malarauko
I had an above ground garden built in the grounds of my castle and two young dwarves spent time socialising there over the summer and at the end of the summer they were in love. Remember those long summers of your childhood? That first kiss in the gardens while crossbows dwarves shoot goblins above your head? The rain of dead birds as the hunters get to work? Truly Spearhills is a paradise.
