Edit: Fucking training weapons.
Goden Semorīngiz, militia commander has grown attached to a palm training axe!
She did this while asleep. What the hell are you doing with it in bed?

Dreaming about slaughtering goblins, of course.

1st time I wanted to irrigate a farmplot, tapping in to the stream, using no floodgates.
1st time I made a well, tapping in to the river, using no floodgates.
1st time I placed floodgates, locking a dwarf inside the waterway.
1st time I tried to build a 2z high wall, trapping a mason and not noticing until he was dehydrated.
1st time I killed a dwarven merchant that went berserk...  (just last week).

those are just some of the times I've facepalmed at myself... there are just so many.

An ambush arrives with the dwarf caravan, in the 2nd fall. A fight off the goblins, no one dies but a few pets and 2 haulers. I do my trading, and the merchants leave.

RIGHT after the merchants leave, a dwarf gets a mood and claims a clothiers workshop. I have everything he wants, (wood, metal bars, cloth) yet he won't take the materials.

Looking at the wiki, I realize I don't have yarn cloth, just silk and plant fiber cloth. Sketching pictures of cloth can mean any type of cloth. The caravan carrying yarn cloth JUST left, and the only sheep, a pet, died in the ambush.

The dwarf is going to go insane and die because he refuses to use my more valuable cloth, such as giant cave spider silk, he has to have YARN. Which I CAN'T GET for half a year, when the next caravan comes.

*Facepalm*

Here's hoping i'll get a migrant wave like right now with a sheep in it.

I just had a goblin snatch a child. Checking the thoughts of the parents, I notice that they don't even notice their child is missing.

More interestingly, I notice I can still view the child if I go through the relations page on one of the family members.

I saw the child's thoughts and facepalmed.

Forgot to change my designation back to Dig from up/down stairway, then went off to work on something else while my miners got to work. Destroyed a nice layer of silt a few Z levels down from my entrance.

...what were you doing to your dorfs!?

Well, if it was not so much different from what other players are doing ... HE IS A MONSTER!

Let's all be glad that Sakzul was finally saved and that he will live happy, full life.

Artifacts in my fortress. I know - I am using FD mod, this embark is reused for third time and two previous attempts ended in slaughter of my population. But 2 coffins, "The diversion of execution, a gneiss mechanism" and "The smile of gallows, dog leather vest" as first 4 artifacts?

I just realized there was a gameplay forum intended specifically for the simple questions I so often ask on this forum.  <facepalm>

Started digging around a safe part of an aquifer. For some reason, I end up breaching it, despite the "damp rock" auto-cancels, and end up flooding that level (the miner got away easily though). I notice the aquifer is endlessly draining into a lower aquifer layer staircase I dug before that, so I decide to dig around to that staircase and plug it up so I don't lose on FPS due to the endless water flow.

The dwarf promptly walls himself in on the side that's about to be flooded by the aquifer because I neglected using the "suspended building designation" trick, thinking he couldn't build on the wrong side due to the water flow. GUESS NOT.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What followed was a race to get rid of the wall before the idiot drowns. He'd have drowned if it weren't for the lucky 6/7 depth water tiles constantly giving him breath.

First time facing skeletal creatures: "Hey, skeletons! Well, I've dealt with zombies before, so this shouldn't be too hard... *one month later* Crap."

Discovering cave in alerts the same time I decided to pointlessly in my first multiyear fortress dig a tunnel from my river to the magma sea.

[Trodglen]

Not understanding how hatches work on up/down stairs.
