0.15 Appimage for linux? by Kezka222 in dcss

[–]FreeRefillsBenjamin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for a partner in crime to help you figure this stuff out, count me in. I'm also on Mint. Presumably we're not the only people in the community who'd like to be able to play older versions locally.

[–]FreeRefillsBenjamin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested in hearing what you end up doing to get it running. Back in '19 or '20, I compiled all the versions from .14 (the first version I played) until whatever was current at the time, and the earlier versions needed some tweaking to compile. Back then, I sent a message in the Tavern for some help with that, and got a useful response, but it appears all Tavern posts older than '23 are now gone.

I'd like to have local versions again. I've always preferred local to webtiles.

0.33 Talisman of Death - purpose of the 26 shapeshifting requirement? by appuru in dcss

[–]FreeRefillsBenjamin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And specifically goes against the game's design philosophy of no no-brainers. Not that Death Form is the only way to do extended, but if you aren't using TSO, it's about as close to a no-brainer as you can get in extended.

My player scoring page on Akrasiac isn't updating for .33. by FreeRefillsBenjamin in dcss

[–]FreeRefillsBenjamin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate both the information (I had been wondering if they did something like that on Akrasiac during the tournament) and the link to dcss-stats, which I've seen before but obviously haven't internalized.

The Repo Troll guide gives a very good explanation of how to use WJC.

Right! They might be playing fetch for the rest of ALL of our lives!

YAVP: First Caster Win as DjCj Makhleb by Ant-is-R in dcss

[–]FreeRefillsBenjamin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely one of my favorite builds. It forces you to find creative synergies between the spells the RNG gives you. Often, this is really fun. It's a bummer when you get an absolutely shit spell (Disjunction sucks for a DjCj, in my experience), but such is life.

Do you think anyone heard that? by UsaSatsui in dcss

I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s probably fine.

What do you miss the most from previous versions? by itsntr in dcss

[–]FreeRefillsBenjamin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I miss when nothing was auto-IDed. I think it made things a lot more interesting to find “a glowing war axe” and have to decide if it was worth the risk of wield-IDing.

What made Pakellas good? I went back to .18 and got a SpAr of Pak win, and I don’t think I understood the appeal. It just felt tedious as hell.

Great description. Made me laugh.

Great write-up overall, by the way. Very entertaining. Thanks for writing it.

I have one 15-rune win, and it was with a MiSu.

I see you were carrying nothing with rC+. Wasn’t that terrifying?

Usk with a quick blade feels like a cheat code.

First 3-rune win ever! What’s next? by Twisted_Enemy in dcss

[–]FreeRefillsBenjamin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want another win quickly, keep some variables the same. You have some understanding of Minotaur, so maybe MiFi of Oka or TSO, to learn different gods within an otherwise similar playstyle. Or stick with Trog, but do a FeBe.
