- Comment on [Caves of Qud] Would Grit gate recoil transport me right to the Barathrumites? 1 day ago:
My build is kinda a jack-of-all-trades: cudgels in melee, light manipulation and pyrokinesis at range. Trees help a bit but sometimes I really struggle with breaking the groups. It doesn’t help that my character isn’t up to level for this challenge and I’m too impatient to just leave it be for a bit.
Especially if you’re a mutant, you may have some “escape key” abilities already
I got Teleport from my buckler. Fantastic spell, it helps me a lot!

On my Roleplay run (my main) I beat Golgotha first try without any problems but I just can’t reach the soulsucker’s village because the goatfolk just keep killing me on my way.
And on my current Classic run I was going precariously through jungle (in hope the quest there is easy) and the game was like “waow a new village!” and excitedly made me enter a goatfolk village lmao.

Ah okay! Makes me feel a less bad about losing that run to two turrets and a chameleon.

As far as I can tell the policy was established in the late 80s and lasted through the first half of 90s. Here’s a relevant link.

- Comment on Curing Ironshank in Caves of Qud made me feel like I'm playing NetHack 2 days ago:
Wine isn’t the rarest and most expensive liquid.
It is the most expensive liquid that might be included in the recipe for curing Ironshank. I don’t know if it’s the rarest among them but it isn’t (easily) found on the ground the way asphalt and some others are.

You are right, I’m so focused on the post itself that I forget to check what I put into the link field :D

- Comment on [DCSS] At last, Pandemonium runes are mine 2 months ago:
Unfortunately I splatted in Ziggurat. “Just one more floor” - famous last words. Went all the way to Zig:17 and was destroyed by Gehenna-themed floor. Oni got hands!
- Comment on [DCSS] At last, Pandemonium runes are mine 2 months ago:
DCSS shows just how bad humans are at interpreting statistics.
I like how Crawl gives a player really tough choices. For example, Death talisman prevents you from suffering a lot of annoying late-game punishments like Torment and Malmutate but it also prevents you from drinking potions making otherwise safe situations (e.g. being confused by a golden eye) into a dire threat.

- Comment on [DCSS] I have identified the last magical staff 2 months ago:
Nope, SIf’s death message would be blue. Actually, you just made me realize Sif Muna doesn’t have a death message. Interesting.
At the moment when it popped up I didn’t know what that message was about so it gave me a good laugh. After some thinking I figured it happened because, at some point before dying I saw a staff but didn’t approach, died a bit later and all unidentified stuff I’d seen was IDed, and it just so happened that this staff was the only type I hadn’t encountered in this run (staff of cold magic, most likely).
I seriously don’t play often enough with Sif Muna, because Heplhjdtfhxhdh always seems so good… 🥴
I want to eventually get a win with every god so I keep trying new ones. Hepli was my most recent win btw, their battlemage carried my frog archer til the end. Very strong god indeed.

It is fun!
- Comment on [DCSS] I have identified the last magical staff 2 months ago:
Pixel Dungeon was my first roguelike and Shattered was my first win in a roguelike too! DCSS in comparison is much more complex and combat-focused. No hunger, no inventory management, no consumable puzzles.
But it’s much more varied in ways you can approach combat. There’s melee of course, then there are all sorts of spells (shooting spells, summoning spells, necromancy, martial buffs…) plus every character will also join a god, each with their own unique gameplay. It might be a bit overwhelming but it’s very rewarding once you ‘get it’.
What class do you normally play?
I jump between different builds and have won with each ‘major’ build except stabbers (that make enemies vulnerable with stealth and magic then one-shot them with a dagger). My favorite is Shapeshifter who changes into different forms throughout play gaining unique innate abilities.

I’m glad someone enjoyed my crawl posts! It took me many months to get my first win but after that I feel like I broke through this wall and now can win stronger species.
The first time is the special one still!

- Comment on Despite encouraging min-maxxing, The Binding of Isaac is so bad at it 3 months ago:
DPS is more important I’d say but high speed helps when you hit every deadend on your way through a comically large Caves 2.
- Comment on Despite encouraging min-maxxing, The Binding of Isaac is so bad at it 3 months ago:
To be honest, I never consider Boss Rush for items alone. Unless you have a lot of speed AND high DPS you won’t make it in 20 minutes, and even if you’re strong enough you need to skip a lot of opportunities (secret, cursed and challenge rooms, at the very least) just to gain two items from treasure item pool which is… not great. Every time I enter Boss Rush I just look at the items and am like “ugh, okay. I’ll pick the least underwhelming one.”
Hush gives you more time and is more viable to do consistently but the fight itself is way too tough to justify the (pretty neat ngl) rewards of Hush’s floor. I don’t do Hush unless I’m after the unlock.
- Comment on Despite encouraging min-maxxing, The Binding of Isaac is so bad at it 3 months ago:
Among the roguelites I have experience with I’d say TBoI is the most minmax-friendly and, from watching other people play, I think most players do fall into some basic minmaxxing.
Though, admittedly, my definition of min-maxxing is rather broad. I include returning to a treasure room every time your D6 charge up as min-maxxing, for instance.
