There's a hotkey to speed up animations

What is the craziest hitchhiking experience you've had?

qw will stop itself and wait for player input when it gets a full inventory. You could probably make qw do the same when it sees a gong, then just take over when it finds you one.

Sky beasts are pretty fantastic

Replace with SPELL_BLINK_AWAY or maybe SPELL_BLINK_OTHER?

71. if you equip buttered toast on a felid, you gain and cannot lose flying. But ofc it periodically disorients you.

That's one of the MANY confusing things about GDR. 40% off sounds nice but it won't actually give you 40% off if the hit is too big. Mad math intervenes and caps the reduction with math magic.

There's a widespread phenomenon where you can skip the first chunk of any youtube video. Someone named it, and others have even made browser addons that automatically skip the appropriate amount of the video's intro.

Though this is an especially bogus preamble in a medium filled with bogus preambles!

It would be way better for file names to be more usefully-named, than to remove character names from the game.

I very much enjoy "Wham! the TrAM" thank you very much.

If we had stuck with a nice, logical trilateral symmetry we wouldn't be in this mess.

Kenstruation comes standard on an unmodified human embryo! Lacking it is the mutation. More seriously, "Frail" mut makes me extremely nervous and it absolutely must go. I must admit that I kinda like berserkitis on durable melee characters, I just try to play each turn under the assumption...

Watch zxc's DrFe video. It has some funny moments and also, he sounds miserable which is a different kind of entertaining.

Roleplaying!

And here's what we did after dinner:

How cool, which state or province was this in? I do WWOOF; I'm currently near Albuquerque and am probably heading to Spotsylvania next.

I come across Bookworm on some of the "grandma computers" that I work on. I guess I should try it! Just from the looks, it reminds me of Clockwords: Prelude.

4h2a is correct.

A new coder by the name of Naruni has spearheaded the recent "use items from floor" updates, with guidance from the regular cast.

No chequers, a surfeit of straight dudes is Normal, and anything else is Political. Keep your politics out!

Oh I didn't even think about phone games. To play in between turns of computer games!

Decrepit.

What if it was like a rich uncle, and it just tried to give you something nice, weighted based on your race, skills, and god? It doesn't know you very well and doesn't usually give you The Item You Want, but it tries. It has a lot of connections and it really tries. No weighting for what you've seen...

When I started playing a couple months ago, I thought the weaver was some kind of moth or butterfly. Only when I looked at this did I realize that weavers are humanoid. (and inspired me to x v it and actually read the description)

Some sort of completely mana-free implementation would be nice and simple. DD could be banned, or special cased I guess.

Zin is like that crazy uncle at dinner. He claims saffron is a loathsome, unamerican spice and he can't eat it. But he can't actually taste whether there's any saffron in the dish, he just hollers, spits, and rejects random things as his mood dictates.

What other thinky, go-at-your-own-pace stuff do you Tavern patrons play? There's probably a lot of 4x players and "sim city" style games I suspect? (whatever that genre's called, with Skyline and Gnomoria and etc) http://i.imgur.com/xYz30JE.jpg Board games , like roguelikes , look boring t...

It will eat your butt!

Can you imagine the intense wiki-scouring and IRC questions from all the players who get a bad mut that's labelled "Something like this" and doesn't do anything.

The rest are great though, there's a lot more variety in good muts than bad. Throw them all in! Now!

I love everything about this post!

Player ghosts would be a bit less annoying if they weren't so good against particular character types - in large part due to undead freebies. More like uniques! Dpeg can come up a flavour justification.

Some staves are affected by evocations, at least

The Superstitious You must flee the dungeon if you get any bad luck. ⋅ It is bad luck to know "13". (do not fully explore D:13 or Pan:13.) ⋅ It is bad luck to harm a "7". (this means that you may not harm trees .) ⋅ It is bad luck if you do not wand...

Piety decay is useful because it removes the incentive to scrimp and save piety by tedious methods. When poisoned but not lethally so, most players choose to rest it off rather than burn a potion of curing because potions of curing can be stockpiled and are limited in availability. If piety was a r...

Children of an Angry God

Complete any three rune branches while under Wrath from abandonment or penance. Anger a god again if wrath expires mid-branch.

Those potions look pretty good, but the little blobs (fruit?) look a bit like little blobs. :) Have you tested simply putting the 2d assets for items and creatures into your 3d world, vertical and "flat" so to speak? Could save a ton of work, and those 2d assets are getting updated constan...

Holy shit.

They don't necessarily have to be tough or silly, just come up with anything that sounds interesting to you.

That's some fairly impressive code diving. Typically when a rabbit hole is that deep, I spend 20 minutes on it then just ask someone on IRC to explain it to me.

Angry felid isn't new! Angry felid is 25 years old and sandy, hint hint. :mrgreen:

Man, the forumers are kinda cruel and snarky though, I don't think many new people are gonna stick around.

What if dismissal flickered the monster instead of teleporting it. "your amu vibrates and foo temporarily stops existing for # turns"

Then you know where it is (right where you left it), you know it's coming back, and you can try to get gone, or wait a bit to kill it.

I find labyrinths to be a pleasant change of pace, and I personally enjoy solving them because they're "not crawl" but they're also easy to solve. As an experiment, we removed map rot and permitted autoexplore in our fork, since people do occasionally complain about it being not-crawl, but...

Or
Ability: "Godcast a spell"
- can only be done when enemy in sight
- selects a random spell on the spot for this turn
- even if it's an untargeted spell, you can cancel the casting if you don't like this turn's spell
- have to attack/shoot/swing at an empty square if you cancelled the cast

Every 3 turns you get a new handful of random spells. You can cast any spell from that list, but it ciears the whole list when you do. You can cast one speii every 3 turns, but no more than that. You can "wait scum" for the perfect spell to show up, but then you have to improvise after that.
