What is the karate expert's favorite beverage?
Kara Tea.

Can we rename the topic to "Threadshedding megabike" please. Wait, what? Clearly "Shedbiking threadmega" is a much better name. We've already derailed into bikeshedding ABOUT the thread, so it should definitely be called "Bikeshedding Metathread". I disagree. Since we ...

The reaching brand is rare, so one rarely sees it, but I don't care to. It isn't "dangerous" in any way, and takes up a space which could hold another brand, while a polearm does the same thing without taking up a brand. So it's a no brainer, really -- use a polearm or a different brand. T...

How can you "forget" to save?

I think I'll hold off. I have enough tools that killing is pretty easy, and anything I don't want to deal with I kite until I banish it.

EDIT: Update - I just read I'd a scroll of acq, and ... it gave me a quick blade

.

Simply put:
Should I wait until I find a quick blade to give a distortion brand, or should I use it when I can use it? It I should use it now, on what should I use it?

On a side note: to get a Lucy altar, should I just corrupt Ecumenical?

Staff of Wucad Mu. On D:5. With a HOFi. :cry:

I wouldn't mind an additional class called "custom" or something more flavorful that let you edit everything. I don't thikn it's too likely to happen, though. What I really want, and what I consider a flaw in the background system, is that it's surprising hard to start an unarmed characte...

I like Gargoyles and Djinni, but I hate Lava Orcs. They really are too overpowered. I mean, free haste when you're running from something dangerous -- WTF??

My advice was actually HTML+Javascript, you would struggle to make a HTML game without any Javascript, basically I have no idea what giygas was talking about but I suspect he wasn't paying attention to the rest of the discussion, well what's new? You CAN make a game with pure HTML. It just won't be...

I started with Visual Basic.

NO.

Giygas refers to himself in the third person too.

For me, it's CeHu, DjFE, LOFi, and DEFE. Yes, I realize two of those are new species. I just find LO and Dj to be very, very easy.

You need to get out more.

That too.

On a side note, what happened to minmay, he seems to have been demoted from his blue name.

No! I want a meta-roguelike. One in which you control a character who is playing a roguelike.

I consider myself more of a "Thread Thrasher" :lol:

Naw, magenta is awesome. I want a magenta name.

Are Giygas and Hyperbolic the same person?

Doesn't "hellfire immunity" mean "total fire immunity", meaning that even firestorm can barely scratch your skin? This is correct. I just used wiz mode to make a djinn with fire storm and max skills. When it cast fire storm right over its head, the EP cost to cast the spell was ...

And if you think Djinn are overpowered, try getting a DjWz off of D:1. Tried this. Didn't think it was too difficult. My first one splatted in Lair:2, but my second died in D:3. I think that this is an unfair analogy, however. This is like saying "If you think Spriggans are overpowered, try ge...

Seems to me like Dredmor, Clockwork Knights. But I'll give it a shot anyway. EDIT: Shouldn't have it's own buff; should be a breath or exh attack.

If it is better than a mummy, it is not necessarily overpowered or even strong

I consider the lack of a hunger cost for mummies to be a major buff, at least for a three runer.

Why do people think you need to grind in Pokemon? A little part of me died when I read this question. Pokemon is about the grindiest game out there.

You're actually sort of late to the party That figures. The person with the Debian daily builds needs to get their act together, or cron job everything.

I mean, come on. It's basically a mummy, but better. The essence system is not bad at all (though the double MP cost is stupid), and hellfire resistance is just overpowered, any which way you look at it. rC- isn't any kind of a problem; i rarely see it anyway. Who would honestly want to play a mummy...

supposedly "bug free" haha, that's funny. We certainly never claimed anything like that! Stable has hopefully less bugs than trunk, but it's not exactly bug free. Anyway, this forum is for discussing coding issues, please, report bugs here . Trunk isn't buggy at all though. Bugs are thank...

Provided you stay away from him, yes. Oh and that you have rElec too, he is a titan afterall. IMO, you don't need rElec even; just keep up the Flight and DMSL spells and hover over the water, maybe summon a demonic horde to hold him back, and let Fire Storm do the rest. Though I suppose it's better...

We have a lot of experimental works in progress that could use testing, and something I had considered was assembling an "experimental" branch to be placed on some servers with many of these things so that they can all be tested at once. Since I'm not a server admin, that would take some ...

Luckily, Antaeus is a bit of a pushover anyway with any caster; since his attacks are pretty easy to survive with rCold, you can wear him down gradually. I find Asmodeus with his hellfire most ... irritating.
