it's frustrating that so many things in this game are "what's this? oh I guess I lose now." it's tough to tie cause and effect together sometimes so you have to get punished more than once to be sure what hosed you.

- discovered I can have my dog shoplift for me by waiting til he picks something up in a store and having him follow me out
- got wereratted again, just from getting hit this time. guess they're an "avoid at all costs" sort of enemy
- got killed again by a floating eye paralyzing me for a million turns. I guess you just die when that happens, sucks. don't know what to do about these, guess I'll just run away
- discovered that eating kobold meat damages stats
- read a scroll that blinded me for hundreds of turns. when I died it said I was temporarily blinded. status effects last so long in this game compared to crawl, they all feel permanent. maybe I need to be washing them off at fountains or something

it's frustrating that so many things in this game are "what's this? oh I guess I lose now." it's tough to tie cause and effect together sometimes so you have to get punished more than once to be sure what hosed you.

lol its fun seeing someone go from crawl etc backwards to nethack rather than the other way around

Arch Nemesis posted:

lol yeah I played crawl back in 0.5 when it was a lot closer to this but even then the bullshit was much lower grade. in crawl the kobold meat was labeled poisonous and floating eyes paralyzed you for I think a max of 20 turns for instance. plus they had to beat your MR and only tried once every 5 turns or so

Stux posted:

yeah when people talk about never ascending in nethack it isnt a joke, its on its own level of sadism even for RLs. its the first one i ever played and ive never gotten close to an ascension lol
