I thought I'd finally gotten a handle on Cogmind but it's been curbstomping me all weekend.

Know I'm only going to have time to dig into one of these this month, been struggling to decide which, so I rolled a d6. It says 2 so I'm playing ADOM. This is how I live my life apparently.

I was playing .31 online.

Jiyva is a double edged sword because the friendly jellies it spawns will eat up anything on the ground apart from artifacts. As soon as you hit max piety you should head for slime pits as you get the rune and access to the treasure at the bottom level for free. Keep an eye on your mutations with shift+a. Anything grayed out is incompatible with your current transformation. If you can funnel enemies into narrow corridors slime walls will get you a lot of free kills in the early game.

thanks dude didnt know that about mutations (or like most of the other stuff lol). did notice the roomba-ing though. motherfuckers stole my drat javelins!!!!!

try adom as an archer or dcss as NOT minotaur berserker but something like gargoyle mage. I got to level 15 for the first time ever as a magic user in dcss and cant make it to level 5 as the "easiest noob class"

There are two things you can ask him about right now. One you'll see for yourself if you dive a little deeper, the other one should be an obvious question in any RPG game

I'm not sure I've ever played a Jiyva character before. If I have it can only be once or twice. This is going to be interesting.

i need a break from this. adom is cool in that its somewhat structured but not very intuitive at any of its systems. dcss is a lot more random and freeform for better or worse.

0.29 made the game insanely more difficult by giving monsters attacks of opportunity when you move adjacent to them.

Yeah I’ve gotten super hooked on ADOM and TOME these last couple days, but I was just thinking earlier today that while I’m having a lot of fun and I like this event because I’d never tried a roguelike before and now I’m addicted, I get the feeling that I’m not going to get even a single trophy lol. Three days into the month is probably too early to be dramatic like that but I’m lucky if I can get an ADOM character to survive to level 10 and even that doesn’t seem like enough to reliably get past the ants in the puppy quest alone (although I did get really close, killed most of the ants and damaged the queen pretty badly but something else came up from behind while I was dealing with them).

Thanks for the tip though, I’ll try an archer for my next character. I’ve been doing various dwarf melee builds, paladins and fighters and berserkers, because I like that when I open a door and there’s thirty dudes standing there staring at me I can just back up into a narrow hallway and tank their hits while I kill them one by one but then someone spawns behind me and I’m in trouble, maybe being mobile and shooting from a distance is the way to go.

djinn firemage is the best class ive ever played thus far. no mana management + extremely powerful spells. melee in dcss is boring vs. me exploding the screen with fire

The ending to my character's story was, I swear to God, "She flew into a black hole and was never seen again.". This is the worst racing game I have played. Symbolic if you don't pick a good game I am going to kill you.
