This is about Nethack, isn’t it? /me opens link oh yeah, it is.
It’s completely off-topic but that bloody game. I hate it and love it. So many times Team Ant ruined an otherwise perfect run. So many times that I forgot to wear a glove before wielding a rubber chicken. Or spending hours with pudding farming, only to get sloppy and hit some floating eye. (The devs thankfully removed pudding farming. Sadly now my Vladsbane is a single purpose item.) And do the soldiers in Fort Ludios really need so bloody many wands of death?
On-topic, that’s a funny bug. Full moons increase your luck, as the author said; and since luck is generally positive, from that you’d expect the model to perform better, not worse. I wonder if higher luck wasn’t making the neural network play with too low of a level, as there’s a decrease in the risk of monsters violently reacting to your actions when you’re lucky.
They should test this out again in September. Friday 13th reduces luck instead. Perhaps the network will perform better, perhaps worse?
