little bit of blogging to get it all off my chest. Spent the day doing yard work. It was a cold morning. This time of year low cloud cover through the morning is typical but due to oceanic upwelling and onshore breeze we've had substantial cover by marine stratus clouds which persists into early...

I imagine the Android/iOS support was at least part of it.

When the camera is nearly vertical, moving the mouse further up or down (towards vertical) can make it twitch and seem to spin to a new direction which makes orienting difficult. Separately, I wonder if a third-person, rotatable camera would be more appropriate.

Is there an easy way to find those problems in mantis? I didn't know offline is so broken, it always looked faster to me. I believe some (maybe most?) of the major problems are with SDL 2.0 and mouse behavior. If you look through open bug reports with severities of 'Block,' 'Crash' and 'Major' (the...

so this guy here calls himself a sexy elf but guess what his most won species is. Just guess and look it up when you're ready for the punchline

I don't favor this idea. I like the idea of playing a wanderer, having to adapt to a 'starting kit', which a god is not typically part of. I also simply dislike playing Xom worshipers. I think there's a big difference between adapting to random items and skills, which matches well with the adaptatio...

melee was brutally nerfed when someone ruined ctrl+attack while confused

I can't agree with your Beogh rating. I think we've discussed this before, but I guess I just value any allies, even rather weak and infrequently appearing ones, pretty highly. I definitely think Beogh is a level above Gozag or TSO. In the same vein I'd put Yred higher than the other gods on that ti...

Good Thing: The Devs. The Devs deserve a shout out Once in a While!

early game: winning the first time
mid game: wins 2-10
late game: 11-greaterplayer
after this point you are a big nerd

Good luck on the project. I look forward to seeing more mechanics in action!

use your most powerful attack and heal when necessary

I am tempted to try to log into twelwe's account, but I feel like no matter what the result is I will just feel stupid/ashamed In the moment of choice, he is in complete isolation, for he withdraws from his social milieu, and yet at the same moment he is in absolute continuity, for he chooses himse...

So I was making a ham sandwich for lunch today There's an interesting theorem called the ham sandwich theorem which basically says that you can put some ham between two pieces of bread and cut all three components in half with a single slice, making a perfectly bisected sandwich. hell, if you've go...

Am I doing this right?

Yes, I too hate when people use AD instead of CE in 2015.

love the idea but isn't 'wound' the wrong tense? shouldn't the move be called "wind"?

A definition is never a set of examples. I don't know what you mean by "what should never happen." Do you mean theoretically, "these events are impossible in the current version," or normatively, "it would be really awful if such a thing happened"? Edit: I should add th...

Naga can retreat 18 tiles from normal speed monster 8 tiles away before fighting, I think it is too much [1.44*18=1*(18+8)] (I even tested it to be sure, wow, didn't expect it). Interesting, I never actually bothered calculating it. I wonder what a good 'safe retreat distance' would be. It's 16 til...

While having a break from crawl I played other games and now I see what makes me feel unwilling to play crawl again. @Sandman25, have you tried TOME? I would recommend it based on both this thread and your wish to have more numerical transparency. It isn't a perfect roguelike (indeed, it has some g...

I'm going to spoiler tag this post because it's got a bunch of large pictures - mostly anime type cheesy waifu pictures. Nothing naked, but clearly "fan service". you know, back when i was first playing along with the minmayXduvessa stuff i didnt realize that there was an actual "wai...

EDIT: oops, I posed the question when I woke up and it's not a good one

I would get on your favorite voip program, send them the link to webtiles and sort of walk them through some of the tougher stuff, e.g., what character should I play? how do/can I do X? early game skilling, etc. Don't hold their hand too much, it's a nightmare when someone introduces you to a game, ...

absolutely nothing remotely amusing happened but i'm still going to post about my day 6:20 AM: i wake up after a decentish night's sleep, still have a cold though it isn't bad anymore. my alarm is set for 7 AM, so i lie back down. i remember i get irrationally angry at sudden noises like al...

It works pretty decently. The summoners I've played lately (granted, not super recently) only used Call Imp for a very short period until CCF was available. Between CCF and Lightning Spire you can take care of pretty much any early threats. Furthermore, these spells are very MP-efficient so you're n...

Earlier today I was considering making a thread to call for buffing melee! Melee has the unique disadvantage (yes there are exceptions) of forcing the player to stand next to the monster he wants to damage. This is a very big disadvantage. Furthermore, aside from three rare weapon brands, melee does...

Portal strike would be annoying to use. The only spell I can think of that gives an activated ability is delayed fireball--I don't really think more spells need to have an extra interface layer. This also seems much less exciting than other level 9 spells. I do think a transolcations status sounds l...

I just guessed 16.7

I hope all the trolls have got it out of their system... true 3D movement has almost never been done in games and this is a cool idea. It's gonna be hard to represent things graphically though, and to control 26 directional movement

I generally dislike numbers being displayed in games except where strictly necessary or unobtrusive. Crawl's interface now features lots of numbers on the sidebar but very few in the message window. Some numbers are fine as they correspond with quantities that have a real analogue, e.g., number of a...

Full disclosure: The need to buff VM was discussed with multiple devs and players earlier on irc and many reasons were given for the background's power being fine as-is. Now I will attack a few claims made in the original post. VM is easily the hardest book start. Sting be the strongest level 1 spel...

50/50 chance that you see an orc priest before your first altar is way off. orc priests can't even place as natural level gen monsters until D:4, prior to this they place only in vaults or as OOD spawns, and there aren't any recent game orc priest kills in Sequell before D:3 at all. You're highly l...

Mazes are so simple and boring that I think I have only enjoyed solving them a single-digit number of times, and all of them before I was ten years old. The flavor of a labyrinth housing a minotaur is definitely cool but I think that the portal vault should be scrapped and remade as some sort of reg...

You'll want to build strong offenses as quickly as possible. XP gain from monsters ramps up very quickly. An ogre is worth more than 50 hobgoblins, for example. This means you can skip a lot of stuff without weakening your character (in terms of levels/skills) too badly; you will have significantly ...

I really don't think any of those things makes a monster that casts spells which do hundreds of damage "trivial." Dispel undead will not kill them in a single turn, slimify requires the monster to be adjacent, and being silenced in Zot pretty much precludes a tactic being trivial. Silence ...
