Utterly perfect.

This is going to be fun.

When you get tired of Nethack, I highly recommend trying Crawl.

Definitely this. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is an oldschool roguelike updated with sane, modern design philosophies in mind, while nethack is "gotcha!" the game.

It's also the best roguelike. ADOM rules.

ADOM is somewhat more sane than nethack but it's still not really sane and far from the best

I don't actually remember what it means so skinny

VI keys really are the best. Look at this, he's been playing nethack all of 20 minutes and he's already converting. If that's not proof I don't know what is.

"If you spend like half an hour you can begin to learn them" is not very convincing, no

I'm surprised you leveled up killing the stuff that dude made from a wand. I guess they give experience just like normal.

That would be a pretty terrible design goal when coupled with permadeath.

Yeah, that's why nethack isn't actually a very good game.

It can be funny sometimes though.
