ASCII mode has been on their dev roadmap for years, the next big update is supposed to happen next month but I don't know if it'll be included.

I've won twice so far but only on easy and normal. On the easy run I got the bloodletter when I already had the vampirism master trait and it was crazy good, doing like 200 or more damage per shot and I was immune to bleed so I only took a bit of damage on reloading. The normal run was an angel of shotgunnery run where I never got anything better than an autoshotgun. I kept trying it as a technician but fireangel never worked well for me past the 2nd moon even when I got a sick SSG that reloaded itself on kill. I'm gonna try a different master trait next time I play tech and use smoke a lot more often. tried a marine and won first try with army of the dead lol. I took the side paths that let you get the frozen heart and sacrifice it and I dunno if I'll do that again any time soon, the wishes you can pick from don't seem worth it to me.

got my first HMP win. it was a huge step up from HNTR so I'm gonna stick here for a while I think. the beginning of the game feels brutal but Angel of Shotgunnery got me through the rougher parts. I need to get better with weapons that can misscode: poison smoke + robots is OP. but building up to it took me a ton of tries. avoided Dante's Inferno because I didn't wanna lose lol

Did a Hard endless run to practice semi-auto guns and god drat there are so many archmedusae past a certain point. died on floor 24, one away from the silver endless badge. to an archmedusa of course. not sure how to deal with more than 1 of those without tech smoke. but I did learn the real power of Aiming, especially with an amp that converts Aim to damage. used a 9mm rifle with an emp mod pack and a 7.62 one with a cold mod pack for the whole run and picked up a relic that makes enemies bleed when I hit them pretty early. I also grabbed the nailgun but I kept reloading it too early so I stopped using it, might have helped on the medusa swarms.

jumped in to caves of qud blind because I noticed it just updated and also noticed it had a dual pistols bird mutant starting class. so far I've been to red rock and done 2 quests.

rodbeard posted:Protip: You can turn off the fake CRT effects. I like them. the reason I'd rather play ascii is just because I assume it'd be easier to identify enemy types in, there's a lot of fiends/ravagers/former humans etc and its a little rough to pick them out at a glance. Does Qud have anything like ascii crawl where you can see a list of visible enemies and their health? the nearby things window isn't quite what I'm looking for

died to a hosed up monster in a well in qud so I started over and something immediately exploded. aggroing a guard to kill the first quest giver and several other farmers and a cat.

Yeah on my current run I came back to find him dead on the ground and I stole his book. This time I realized that I probably shouldn't go gung-ho with my ammo and I've made it to the point where I'm being told to go to the "grit gate". gonna explore a bit more around here first but I've cleared out red rock, one of the wells and the lair of a legendary crocodile.

There's a sultan history on the north side of Joppa outskirts that'll reveal an early historic site. danger is variable but it's something you can look at around that time

my head got exploded by a novice of the Sightless Way while I was retreating and had no idea what was going on.  I had just found like 400 slugs on the ground too. I guess I should have just gone after him instead of retreating but I was surrounded by a bunch of other guys. farewell level 11 gunwing

Back up to around where I died, this time I've got much better armor, an artifact shield called the Stopsvalinn, a light source hat, a flaming beak ray and the ability to make temporal copies of myself. the first time I used that ability the copy immediately shot the poo poo out of me for 15 damage. that is going to kill me for sure once I can call more than one of them

Qud is a top 10 GOAT, I've deliberately not played for the last year but I'm jumping back in after a few major updates. Double pistol mutant is my favorite build too, with triple jointed and elec generation for offense, and regeneration and phasing for survivability. Regen and some heat resistance make spontaneous combustion easy to deal with.

elec gen is so strong early on. and possibly late game too never made it that far

Long session tonight where I fell down a chasm before looking at what it was and couldn't find a way back up for what felt like 20+ screens. ended up leveling all the way to 15 and I got the precognition mutation which seems like it'll be saving my life at some point. Didn't run into any head exploders this time so I made it to the grit gate safe and sound and went nuts on the shop there by selling like 30 books lol. 1000+ ammo in the pack and a whole lotta other poo poo. I also discovered the tattoo gun.

took a qud break after that death and died to the final boss of jupiter hell on hard angel of marksmanship and beat it on hard angel of carnage. I had a rocket launcher that threw smoke everywhere and was mostly able to ignore the infinite spawns on the final boss. not so much as my marksmanship guy

finally got the helmet that turns all mechs, bots and turrets to your side and got an angel of marksmanship win with it. I think I've unlocked all the modes now except the last two difficulties which I'm no where near prepared for. I do wanna take a look at the hosed up special zone that unlocks the last one, though

penta post I tried out melee, thinking it would be kinda hard so I played on medium. found out that the spawns during the final boss are in fact not infinite lol   that was a ton of fun, and I felt unkillable once I got vampyre going. I should have played on hard. soulstealer being guaranteed seems like it would make moon 4 a free win for melee, but maybe UV and up are hard enough that you wouldn't gib the swordmaster in 1 hit

great tree. I spent many hours back in the day playing angband variants. ToME was especially fun for its weapons that could level up with you. i think frogcomposband kinda stopped after its maintainer ragequit, but apparently its github still has recent commits. Hengband introduced a lot of neat ideas as a zangband variant, and has new version in the works (v3 in alpha) the past couple years. Looks like the latest crazy variant is that hengband touhou katte version but now renamed from a mod to a full variant, gensouband: https://forum.angband.live/forum/angband/variants/10473-gensouband-2-0-released-touhou-hengband-changed-its-name https://forum.angband.live/forum/angband/variants/10476-announce-english-translation-for-gensouband-v2-0-0 http://www.miyamasa.net/heng_th_katte.html (official page in japanese) might have to try that in 2024

Did they make Swamp harder since I last played Crawl? I keep getting pwned on like Swamp 1 on my favorite ever build and the only one I was ever actually good at, Vinestalker Berserker. Last run I had like +9 slaying but immediately got hookshotted off the stairs by one of those worms and a bunch of hydras and bog mummies beat my rear end in like 3 turns.

But last I played there was still food in the game. Been trying .31 and keep getting my rear end handed to me around lair and even orcish mines. Even when playing the MiBe and MiFi idiot proof setups.
