Re: Stupid ideas -- Started for 0.19, and Still Running!

I've been a long time away, and this topic reminds me of : https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?p=34041#p34041 But since THIS thread is about STUPID ideas, let me put my grain of salt. Like any other modern game, DCSS must have a Twitch integration. And not just old boring "stream on t...

Re: I'll never win Chei

I find chei very easy in late (not very late) game. Just move away or hold position in the early levels or use a magic background that has some sort of area control. The trick is to avoid TAB and even auto-explore.

It would give you some utility in boosting your path, helping in getting a new one, and actually gives you decision while making them valuable both early and late.
