Not sure how long I'm going to be sticking with it, but I'm starting my own Dwarf Fortress journey.

Using this set of guides: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHVZtRdtPdo

So for anyone that wants to join me in the hardest civilization simulator in existence, send me a message and we can try to make sense of whatever the fuck this game is.

I played so much of this game like 2 years ago I think. Its absolutely insane haha, I do adore anything with ASCII graphics, like I was telling you I have a fee thousand hours logged on various MUDs. No time to get sucked back into this though, Terraria is enough sandbox for me

Oh man, enjoy yourself! There was a nice project aimed at a more streamlined version called Goblin Camp, but it hasn't been updated in a while. Might still be worth checking out,

I think we can relate to this comic: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/images/4/40/FunComic.png

Also, this made me actually laugh out loud:

"If you are digging an up/down staircase in the upward direction, and you hit an aquifer from below, the aquifer tile will immediately start producing water in the stairwell, thus leading to a lot of Fun."

No time for Dwarf Fortress, time to play Dota. Although when I did play it, it was a great time sink, kill all the cats.

Im tempted to load this up at work today, without a texture-pack its pretty incognito.

Letters cannot be fun, right?! :-D

Its how I'm getting through my night-shifts from now on.

And I have to do it without the help of a wiki because the wiki is blocked.

Proxy my friend.

I can make you an account so you can tunnel your web-traffic through my server and circumvent that firewall, just let me know I'll get you set up. How do you think I survive at work?

I'll give it some thought as to how much i think they are paying attention to my web traffic. Its not my own computer but a terminal a bunch of people use.
