Who is Carl ?

[Shadymilkman]

When you emote, sometimes your dwarf they say "For Carl!", who is that?

Everyone asks "who is Karl", but noone asks "how's Karl"

I'll do you one better, why is Karl?

I have a 4 year old and 5 year old that play on my account. They LOVE the game. "For Karl!" is a part of their real life lexicon. Kick a soccer ball - "For Karl!" Hit a baseball - "For Karl!" I think they assume its dwarvish for "Take that!"

Yeah, Karl could be anything from a lost friend, to employee of the year, or a patron saint or even a deity. I like the idea that he's a sort of patron saint of dwarven miners. Given their attitude it follows that such a Karl would pretty much be everything they say he is.

That
is cute AF.

Do they try and say it with an accent??

Karl is a personality imprint of DRG's founder over an AI. He sees you when you're sleeping,
he knows when you're awake, he knows when you've been bad or good...

In my everyday life, I find myself uttering the phrases: Rock and stone, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ there's a pebble in my boot, and let's go Brandon! Gotta love those DRG one liners

It's Karl Marx.

I know it is wrong, I find it amusing to think of Mission Control as Karl. As my dwarves cheer and mine with misplaced love for the balding headset-wearing individual that seems to hollowly reciprocate congratulations.

The dwarves say "that guy in mission control really has a cozy job", so it's definitely not Karl

Lol... wut?

DRG is clearly a prime example of late stage capitalism, you have to pay for your own weapons, buy your own equipment; you even have to pay your employer for a promotion!

The Dwarven society depicted in game couldn't be further from communist. Nothing is given, everything must be bought. The Dwarves (and the company) don't fight for the greater or good, or the benefit of their society, but for wealth; that they can spend on things.

Karl? Strange question, hey folks, get a load of this, there's someone here claiming he doesn't know who Karl is. Can you imagine this? Not knowing who Karl is. Next he'll ask us what a beard is. Or what beer is.

Can you even imagine a world without Karl? Stop pulling our legs, everyone knows who Karl is!

It was mandatory, every Tuesday. Because what else is there to do on a Tuesday?

Would be fun. The dwarves being snarky on Mission Control (that guy really has a cozy job, huh?) and celebrating Karl right afterwards. Imagining MC with a chuckle every time he hears them

That's cause he's dead. :(

Some say he is still down there fighting off bugs, trying to find other dwarfs to get back home.
