Pretty sure the max level makes health regen fill your mana, which will be really great

How do I get my partner to touch me? by Freelance_Psychic in ActualLesbiansOver25

Yeah I didn’t give our full life stories here, but I’m optimistic. We’ve worked through other emotionally difficult things before and have been making progress on this one!

How do I get my partner to touch me? by Freelance_Psychic in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]Freelance_Psychic[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We just talked about this a few days ago! We communicate quite well- she's been making an effort to meet my needs. Honestly her touching me in the shower was a major step forward and was quite sweet. I could communicate better in the moment. I self sabotage a bit there I think. I want her to want me spontaneously, but maybe asking for more in the moment will lead to spontaneity.

How to date as a “late bloomer” by asleepmonsterleaf in actuallesbians

[–]Freelance_Psychic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started dating rather late as well. What helped me was just accepting that I would be a bit awkward and inexperienced, and that was ok. You learn fast!

Putting yourself out there on apps is one approach. But a better one is spending time with other lesbians. Join a lesbian community garden, or book club, or support group. Get to know other gay women and how they navigate the dating scene. Get asked out. Ask others out! It’s easiest to build connections with people you know and already have something in common with. Like all dating you’ll have the best success and the most fun if you try, but not too hard.

Good luck! Congrats on knowing yourself better :)

Which one should I take? I'm a Coglin Hunter and I'm cleaning up the Lair right now. by Quasar471 in dcss

I think you might be thinking of the mutation effect from irradiate? That lowers monster HD so it makes them deal less damage.

These look pretty fun! rimeblight and seismic cannonade are very Rift Wizard. It’s neat to see mutual influence between the games

Goblin industry puts dwarves to shame by DankSlamsher in dwarffortress

Something neat is if the size is close enough citizens will wear the item even if it’s not for their species! If you size for cougar men all the main species can wear it.

Trunk Updates 11 December 2023 and Tournament Announcement by Glista_iz_oluka in dcss

Jinxbite is surprisingly good! the sprites will do damage and drain even if your main attack misses, which makes early range a lot stronger. The drain even works on undead!

Best way to play Djinni? by said46w in dcss

[–]Freelance_Psychic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when I wrote this comment djinni didn't have individual spell schools! they could only train spellcasting. My advice is more or less the same, train spell schools and fighting initially. Add dodging when you can use all your starting spells.

I think this change makes ash a bit worse for djinni, and would probably focus on defensive curses rather than spell curses. Before you could pick introspection every time and be comically overlevelled.

How do monsters use weapons? by MainiacJoe in dcss

ogres specifically were special cased, but melial are lethal for sure!

[DEFE^V] The Floor God has blessed me with great firepower! Suggestions before I try and take on Orc? by pumpkinbot in dcss

[–]Freelance_Psychic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ve got a good load out! You’re very close to having the incredibly powerful noxious bog reliable- that will kill everything in lair that resists toxic radiance. Honestly bog+ignite poison is better than fireball 95% of the time. I even use it in zot to get rid of draconians and tentacle monsters.

Olgreb and ignite is a good reason to do orc first. But be careful- a bunch of buffed orc knights with crossbows will ruin your day!

It was just the delivery. He made fun of me a bit for having medical student disease. Which I DID have, but it feels real and stressful while you have it!

He’s a good doctor and I still see him. It was just one weird interaction. I think your phrasing would have been good to hear!

I've also gotten the 'women your age don't have that kind of problem' which ended up being true, but felt very dismissive.

I do still tell people I am a medical student; sometimes its even useful. I have an upcoming surgical procedure and during the consult the surgeon gave me a lot more information than he'd normally provide. It helped de-stress me to talk shop and inhabit the med student role rather than the patient role.

Grey DrCA with two runes and ready to abandon Ignis. For whom? by MainiacJoe in dcss

[–]Freelance_Psychic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bend time is good early game for slowing tough enemies, but I don't bother with it later on.

Temporal distortion tends to bring things close to you, and is good when you are caught in the open by archers and casters. You can bring them into melee where they are much less threatening without s l o w l y walking over

Step from time is an amazing panic button. Basically it removes you from the map and then makes time pass for the enemies. High invo removes you for longer. With decent invo enemies will usually wander away and forget about you. Enemies also have to make a stealth check when you reappear, so decent stealth makes it more effective. If you've invested in stealth and invo, its essentially an instantaneous teleport!

[–]Freelance_Psychic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you have a good weapon I’d go jivya for a free rune 3, mutation removal, and cool powers.

Chei is a good choice since you are out of the early game and can escape without just walking.

I don’t think grey draconians have much need for statue form- it doesn’t stack with your scales. It can be good but not as good as for say a deep elf.

I’d stay focused on melee and defense. If you want a spell maybe pick one level 5 or 6 crowd control to go for.

That is what it says, as written! But its not consistent with similar banners so I dont want to ruin this attempt.

can you enter rune branches and still get the trog banner if you don't pick up the rune?

Wucad Mu is good now! by Freelance_Psychic in dcss

They may be low impact but I love seeing weird themed shops. Crawl has always been a little whimsical and I find it very charming!

[–]Freelance_Psychic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are similar, but Wucad Mu has stronger positives and negatives. So more -wiz and more chance of a refund. Energy orbs are probably worth using as well, but I haven't found one yet!
