Taxes change occupational behavior. There are hundreds of economics papers that investigate the effects of income tax rate on occupational choice and how people divide their time between labor and leisure. There are important complications when modeling people's behavior under such an extreme taxati...

If ghosts are to be preserved because of some desire for interactivity or continuity it has been suggested to turn ghosts into generic monsters (similar to Tedronai's point). Rename a couple of existing uniques so they take on a recently dead character's name + identifying title so instead of fighti...

What's so bad about referencing real world scientists in crawl? Instead of imposing equal representation of male and female only "inventors" by renaming Nikola why not add references to actual women scientists? Renaming Nikola to another obvious reference to a male scientist does nothing t...

ok, so don't judge tiers under obsessions in 'tavern theoretical optimal crawlplay meme' or code digging without actual playtests Ridiculous. Code digging is the best way to figure out what something does. Faulting duvessa for misinterpreting the unique behavior of one out of hundreds of fixedarts ...

15 HP is certainly good but guardian spirit is a regular amulet that gives even more health (faith is also extremely good)

thanks for reading.

never been to good times, I'll try to check it out Quiznos: kind of tastes good but the ingredients aren't excellent quality for the price (havent been in several years) arbys: what's the point of this place sonic: always thought sonic was weird. they seem to advertise their fruity drinks more than ...

gammafunk: good point. I should've been more careful with what I wrote, and taken a more moderate position. I wrapped up that post hastily in order to get out the door. I should either retract the last sentence or revise it to say something like, "shouldn't be any major changes if you accept du...

Remember that you don't have to play to maximize probability of winning every game. In fact, most excellent players do not do that because it's not much fun. On the other hand, it's unreasonable to suggest duvessa's (or any) tier list should ignore best practices because most people can't be bothere...

They used to ignore SH and only be affected by half of your AC. How weird is that?

This feature was removed, though.

When I started playing I really enjoyed seeing all these bizarre monsters and the distinctiveness of every branch. I don't know if anyone else cares about the quotes which show up when you examine a monster/item/feature but I got a huge kick out of reading those along with the descriptions of everyt...

393 mhp if you factor in guardian spirit!

I used to go to this mcdonalds to chill between classes because they had tvs showing the news/to stay out of the weather. Well next thing I know they ripped the TVs out because apparently they made it too appealing for people who wanted to stay there all day. a few times I saw someone get banned fro...

yeah it's really good no doubt about that

wendys is good is why you always see old people in there: they know whats up jack n the box: weirdly good. their tacos should be sh-t, grey meat, shredded lettuce, slice of american cheese, some bizarre goop, all in a slightly soggy weird shell, is really good.

this thread has opened my eyes; linguistic prescriptivists can go suck a hot dog

Another cool thing it did recently: 15097715 qw the Conqueror (level 27, 199/199 HPs) Began as a Gargoyle Fighter on Apr 5, 2017. Was the Champion of the Shining One. Escaped with the Orb ... and 15 runes! Check out the qw repo: https://github.com/elliptic/qw

It would also be helpful if you let us know what OS you use

life is truly wonderful, a gift

thank op and devs for giving us an opportunity to always remember this

On the other hand, cutting lair isn't really cutting content, but shortening the time newer (and presumably slower) players have to spend in the parts of the early game which they already experience the most. Shortening the game does not have to be a balance change, either. If it becomes too hard wh...

also implement the speed of sound waves. It's stupid and REALLY pisses me off when I throw a stone into water and "[I] hear a splash" without 0.001 aut delay between my throw and the sound reaching my character. I swear the devs don't even care about realism some times...

This idea is similar to Nemelex's now removed Sage card which did the same thing, although the diverted XP would be increased by some factor, and the random skill was weighted towards skills the character had trained (given enough card power). Broadly, I like the idea of having to accommodate restri...

Urban Terror

Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden (!!!), DoomRL I mean DRL, stepmania, alien swarm, flight of the amazon queen (since you mentioned Beneath a Steel Sky)

this thread is about giving games away for free you jerks

...someone cast 200 power firestorm

you're misinterpreting, lots of trolls make it to temple, but they have a low chance of winning once they've made it there (whereas for other species it's a relatively much bigger step towards winning the game)

I bet I'm the best melee player w/ >10 crawl wins

I'm checking out everyone's suggestions, and waiting on a few people who thanked the OP... in the mean time this lamp is the Sapher of guitar playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg2aUegYmC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZDOV2i61tM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAGpXIis8Hk

Black probably gives you the most leveled and indeed useful abilities (rElec is difficult to obtain, Flight makes terrain a non-issue and you don't have to mutate for it) rElec is my lowest priority resist (used to be rCorr). In fact it's almost 0 priority assuming I can chug a resistance potion fo...

Well just to put it out there: play the Metroid and Castlevania games.

I really like Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow...Dawn of Sorrow is good but it's annoying to draw seals if you play on emulator.
