thanks for thanking old and really cringey posts of mine, asshole

edit: borderline suicidal after being reminded that i once posted "Gosh, this thread makes me want to play some brawny, brawly, violent Minotaurs". i bet the combination brawny + brawly made me feel really smart too

"Very high stats" is also characteristic of Dg and sure, you can play any species godless, but Dg allows you to play a game where that isn't an idiotic choice if you intend to win.

I think it still will be better than current situation when you can return to D1 after clearing D15 (especially since you claim food is not an issue for most characters). There is no significant difference between adjacent levels, otherwise we would not survive shafting that often. Also it would in...

i wish the english language possesed a word to capture how remarkably depressing both the concept of running around an empty level of a video game looking for the razor thinnest advantage and the fact that you people are taking that idea seriously are I bet the Germans have a word for it. I'm afrai...

I mean, Jesus, I know I complain about crawl development a lot but you don't honestly think the super OOD timer was just added for no reason do you? Grinding monsters is a genuinely difficult-to-solve problem as long as Crawl has both moving monsters with rewards for killing them, and ways to get a...

I don't think thanks have any significant benefits either, though. I'd expect removing them to reduce sniping at other users and particularily posts which don't generate any discussion (if the only point of posting is to get people to reply to you, you'll be less motivated to make an effortless shit...

is that the guy from season 3 of dexter

"someone who isn't me", used in place of first person on some drugs-related forums, supposedly to avoid legal repercussions. But from what I've read that's both ineffective and unnecessary, provided you're not obviously dealing.

It would be the worst post ever if erotic was spelled correctly. The entertaining mistake makes it somewhat tolerable, but I don't think it's a "either the worst or the best post ever" scenario. Then again, I almost never agree with people when they call something "love it or hate it...

What? I was replying to treerex5 because I thought they were implying that there was no reason to cast DU/EH with Z.

Invsible enemies exist...

lol, why would you avoid these discussion topics? controversy is where you get your sweet sweet thanks and thanks are where you get the little self-esteem you have, so this is an inadequate guide, sorry Things that you should avoid mentioning at all costs : Overusing bold or capital letters. your po...

Making a montage of Op deaths and commenting on what went wrong and how you could have survived would probably teach more than a successful run (provided they aren't all deaths to 1 AC + complete inattention).

You can only delete your posts for a short time after submitting them, I think (click Edit, and above the post title, you can tick a "delete post" box). The mods would probably be happy to remove something otherwise, I'd PM them about it.

It really doesn't matter if your hit time is slightly over 1 as long as you're aware that you can be hit twice. You shouldn't attack in a situation where you can't take two hits without dying anyway. Anyway, the vamp gsc is better. With regards to general strategy: -22 M&F is enough for GSC min ...

[edit: can't read]

Turn off shields and spellcasting (5 shields removes all buckler penalties, you don't want a heavier shield, so that's all you need - more spellcasting will only be useful later). If you want to do polearm melee, training only polearms for a while (12 is the minimum delay for your spear, 14 for an e...

today i was buying some falafel which i do about twice a week. i always only get iceberg salad, i have two falafel places which i rotate so i only look like a loser who eats falafel with iceberg salad once a week instead of a loser who eats falafel with iceberg salad twice a week. falafel guy asked ...

How are felids hard? You have good UC, decents apts and more importantly speed, fantastic EV and extra lives. There is no way that the low HP/AC and limited equipment (you can even zap wands now, so this became less of a penalty) are so bad that they outweigh the fact that you can repeatedly die and...

You didn't actually refute the point about having to look at longer lists when you equip. That is a real gameplay annoyance whereas your point about similarities is only theoretical. And AC is a lot more important than any armour egos, so it's not even true.

5 slaying is definitely more important than going from 73 to 81.

Stoneskin isn't good enough that you'd want to train earth/tmut specifically for stoneskin spellpower. It's still a good idea to cast it. That's simply due to the fact that it's a cheap buff with no downside, so you should have it up at all times (I personally wouldn't bother to cast it at all).

Haste and rMsl are obvious choices (I'd raise exclusively charms until you get haste). Tmut/earth is a strange choice, what are you going for? Petrify? You'd be better off getting Haste and then working on your relatively low Fighting/weapon/dodging skills. Fighting in particular is so low that it w...

99% sure they were simply quite clear on the GI tract beginning with lips, tongue and esophagus.

There's a far stretch between summons being a joke skill compared to .12 summons and it being an actual joke skill. And yes, permanent summons are problematic. Twisted res in particular was ridiculously good in the days where you could, for a minimal investment (say 10 necromancy), have dozens of la...

voted i don't want to discuss this because i don't have the time so it's technically true

leading me to conclude that the gasps here probably reveal its practitioners. Not even close, Sar. Shame on you. Crawl is not an evolution. Every game is counted. Artificially manipulating those counts is disingenuous where those results are used to "prove" something. There are no "f...

How about giving DD a huge amount of HP and no way ever to heal (not with wands, potions, spells, vampiric, gods)? That would mean basically that maxHP=currentHP. Maybe they should be immune to torment in that case... I guess it would be very hard to balance, to make it playable but challenging... ...

No (certainly not to the extent Ely needs it, you want a few points for slimify success rate iirc) and yes, respectively.

There wouldn't be my "hardest character combinations" of choice (FeBe and MiWz, in particular, are both really easy) but there are other ways to challenge yourself than simply winning. You can move on to streaking or speedruns (realtime or turns), especially turn speedruns will require a ...

Some people don't have instant travel so they need to spend a little time travelling to swamp/shoals (or manually look for a water square, which also takes some time). Interrupting the game for 30ish seconds (more if you have to fight some trivial spawns on the way to the lair branch) and a few extr...

Unarmed at no skill is a lot worse than weapons at no skill (unless you have claws 3 or something - claws 1 will not be better than a spear with some polearms skill if your unarmed skill is 0). You need to to train the skill before it becomes just as good and eventually better than nearly all one-ha...

I know not whether Laws be right,
Or whether Laws be wrong;
All that we know who lie in gaol
Is that the wall is strong;
And that each day is like a year,
A year whose days are long.

It depends. If it's a spell, it's in the description (though some of the monsters with Banish, e.g. ogre mages, spawn with different sets of spells, so while every one potentially has Banish, many don't). Psyche generates with a distortion weapon 25% of the time and this is a special case. For stuff...

By the way (if this is old_forge, I hope I'm remembering the name right), it can also have an eveningstar or executioner's axe, both with negative enchantment, it's not specifically a singing sword vault.

I think renaming Fire Elementalist to Pyromancer would be more flavourful

Spiders being able to find you when you stand in a web (as opposed to being alerted by noise or your presence in their LoS). From learndb:

Code:: web sense Creatures with this flag (most spiders and Arachne) are alerted when something is caught in a web within 10 squares.

I like to cast haste more than 10 times.

The first part is correct. Antimagic would still be useful to you as a swap - first of all, the brand is so good that it makes many enemies (primarily the low melee damage, strong conjurations type) completely helpless, and as a swap when you run out of MP (and since you would often switch to melee ...

I would have invested in int instead of str there. Half the defensive benefit that haste gives is miserable, by the way, that's a huge difference. "always on" is hardly an argument when you can simply cast haste in any dangerous situation anway, sure it makes a slight difference because yo...

Just because you can get it around vaults doesn't mean you should. The whole question is when is it good to get it versus simply increasing your physical skills. At vaults, there's probably still plenty of room for improvement in your physical skills. Which physical skills? With HO, DD, etc., you c...
