Incredible. I was really starting to wonder if it were possible.

How did you just unwield a cursed axe...?

So 0.16's going to have these as playable, right...?

I think my most recent try at this particular sadomasochism-fest, I used an autosave to try the same late-game fight about four or five different ways, and got my poor little queen-to-(not)be killed every single time. The BEST I could do for her was to have her give up her crown and run for her life...

I dont understand, I dont do any speedruns.

Guess you're just a natural!

Jeez though, in that timeframe I could just about do... I dunno, Lair? Colour me seriously impressed.

I think they're gorgeous, and I'm pretty sure they're distinct enough that I'd be able to memorize what each one was for fairly quickly.
As an aside, Bloax, were you at all inspired by the spell icons from TES:Daggerfall? Couple of them really remind me of that style!

I'm sorry, but gender pronouns make me uncomfortable. I can't speak for anybody else, but I'm generally in favour of making people uncomfortable. Staying on topic, though, it seems pretty sensible to me that the gods wouldn't have specific genders - they're not actual physical beings, they don't ap...

You mean well, you make a good point, but in this case they're actually right. I seem to recall there being some mix-up or another and now you can't actually sign up to edit the wiki.
I could be mistaken, mind. Why don't you send them an email and see if you can get signed up?

...I never thought of it that way before. Huh.

Duvessa, did you ever figure out the function for negative thanks? Just curious. Seriously though, some typing quirks can make a post marginally more difficult to read, I agree. I don't see it as a big issue, though - certainly I don't think there's anyone on this forum I ever have trouble understan...

Resorting to insults usually implies concession in a debate. I also said I didn't let it bother me, because I'm not a whining little pussy. Is this some kind of Oprah inspired New Age garbage? I certainly hope it implies concession in a debate. For all our sakes. And everybody else, for the most pa...

The only time I remember actually dying IN Spider's Nest, I was worshipping Makhleb, used greater summon, and then got myself into some seriously deep trouble and turned tail to flee... and was shot in the back and killed by my own (friendly) summon.

I think you all might have slipped from roguelikes into point + click adventures a little bit.

I've got way, way more than my money's worth out of Bionic Dues, and I bought it on release, so I'd definitely recommend that one. It's not really "like rogue", of course, but you know what? There are other kinds of games that are also fun, and it's one of them.

The teleport fail that always sticks in my mind was when I (foolishly, I will admit) got to fighting Mara in a big square room. I zapped a teleport, but decided to start running for the door while I waited for it to kick in. I made it one space through said door, and of course... It landed me right ...

Aaaand I think we've found our 'something great'.

They also have a 2% chance to fall down any staircase, causing 1 permanent HP loss. Don't joke about this, some of us have this inherent mutation in real life :( I wonder if next they'll include a mutation that just gives you a flat 5% chance to fall over for absolutely no reason whatsoever. That w...

OHGOD why would you bring that up again. I was doing so well!

I need to go be alone for awhile, sorry...

Jeez, they should really do something about that when they get around to fixing the whole breadswinging deal.

EDIT: Alternatively it'd make a kickass power for Fedhas?

Most enthused apologies!
Considering it's official art present in a commercial game, I guess I assumed it wouldn't be considered nsfw. on reflection, definitely a mistake on my part.

Been awhile since I ventured into the horrifying depths but last time I checked, didn't Dwarf Fortress do something like this?

No, I think it definitely needs to be a god ability. SOMEONE has to bless this, their hand grenade.

I wonder why you didn't suggest Cryomancer for Ice Elementalist? Personally I don't see any point in changing these, they have such a long history. Except Skald, which is indeed strange. Skald is a barbaric type of Bard so why not call it Bard and make its book more song related? Because Skalds are...

But ultimately it is about a guy in a box appearing in places that are about to explode, talking a lot until they don't explode, and then disappearing again. So just do whatever, it'll be fine. As a brit, and long-time Who nut, I can say this is easily the most insightful, most accurate description...

The Hulk's hands are too big to type. So I'm assuming probably not? But I might be wrong. Perhaps you can get keyboards with really huge keys?

Alright, why fight the inevitable? I'll take one for the team here.

What's the most stupid?

Now that's seriously weird. It's got to be something software-side in that case, right? But I honestly have absolutely no idea what would cause it while still allowing it to work with ubuntu...

At least you can game again! Somewhat!

It IS a fairly easy mistake to make...

Yeah I cooked a graphics card on my old gaming rig - still haven't replaced it, actually. The fun story about that particular pc is it was the first one my father and I built together, and unbeknownst to us, the company we ordered the parts from sent us the wrong memory.

There is not an observable difference between the way things seem to happen and the way they actually are. If there were an observable difference, then they would have seemed to happen differently. Again, the entire concept of science and observation says that you're wrong. Glad I'm with lgxfl on t...

Would that be incest, or masturbation?

So getting back to the importance of 27, it's really, genuinely the case that nobody besides the original creator actually knows why 27?

Definitely seconding Cataclysm. Haven't played in a few months because I'm stuck on a laptop and it has no mouse interface, but it's definitely an underappreciated gem.

As an aside, is that "Manifold Planets" possibly an obscure reference to Alpha Centauri?

Also holy carp I'm jealous.

There's some truly excellent advice in here. It's exactly the sort of advice that has made a huge difference to my crawling progress recently.

Hopeless, look. Crawl - and games like it - are not for everyone. People enjoy different kinds of things, people look for different things in their entertainment, and that's fine. It really is. But if you aren't getting enjoyment out of this - if it's just frustrating and upsetting you - well, it's ...

Well I only just started it up (doing about four other things right now), but I have rolled a character, am in the dungeon, and nothing cataclysmic has happened yet, so yes, I'm thinking it works fine.
