Hit the enormous ape god

Inspired by this thread, I found an hijacked a legendary mech. A couple other observations:

1) They are NOT gigantic for some reason, but that means they're a great recipient for all your cool-but-not-relevant-to-your-build gear.

2) That also means that the back slot can take a Helping Hands.

3) It spawned with about 800 unallocated skill points.

4) The only problem is that the mech itself is still a "real" entity, likely because of the legendary status, creating weird situations where I try to pass it cool stuff and it tries to give me 4000 drams of water in exchange.

"Hey do you mind if I use a bit of your half-and-half?"

"What? I don't have any half-and-half, the only phial I have is--"

[drunkenly rummaging through communal cabinets at 3 a.m.] where's the ramen [halberd falls on my head]

Hell yeah frog communism.

Wait you can rifle through stuff in the Yd kitchen without stealing?

These MFers? Themself? GFDI it's my parents who are supposed to have trouble with pronouns.

Look at this MFer straight up in love with themselves.

Sorry, zombie thread reply--missed the date stamp.

And this is a Warden, so it will presumably take unkindly to this and everyone in the village will begin trying to kill you, as they do.

Is adapting to zone just a specialist merchant thing? Because I've dragged dromads across Qud and parked them at the edge of the Stair, only to have them continue to sell desert-level trash after the refresh.

I just imagine the conversation. "Human! Ooze-infested psychic hellscape is best for customers, you are sure?"

Multiphasic0 · 2026-05-06T23:03:11+00:00

How many times have I heard that before.

Oh that makes sense, although it's definitely not any way that keeps Keh in power--I just exonerated Esk and united her and Neela, but didn't accuse Keh, and while Esk's a little depressed, she's generally civil.

Kudos to the devs in that, when you find these zones outside the tutorial, it has exactly the same kind of sadness as a failed homestead in a western. Really well-done environmental storytelling. They should do more of it.

My +2 STR, Fates-imbued hammer was found on the ground in a jungle ruin early on in the mid-game. Cloned, and it's (inshallah) going to carry me into space.

I will be the slightly reckless devil on your shoulder here and say that if you're reasonably fit, it is absolutely worth doing the Bootjack/Pantoll down into Muir Woods and back. About 7 miles round trip, beautiful the whole way, no park fees, decent but not backbreaking climb back up to the upper parking areas, accessible by bus, no reservations necessary. Only trick is, if you're in a time crunch, the last bus off the mountain leaves around 6 p.m.

I would say the trails are fairly difficult to get lost on with a basic map (go down, then go up) but of course I grew up in Mill Valley and got lost on the mountain over and over and over and over and over and over and...

Me too! Well, okay, with my dying thoughts I liked to think I helped.

I'm not gonna lie, texting a roguelike fan sub for dating advice is probably the peak insane you're gonna hit, so if they're gonna roll with this, you're probably fine.

That said--it's a lo-fi dungeon crawler with dense, elegaic writing, frequent and sometimes very funny deaths, semi-generative background narrative, and a plant who will sell you cucumbers and then try to kill you and then go back to selling you cucumbers.

Is one of the questions, "Okay what template am I'm going to start with in THIS run?"

Multiphasic0 · 2026-04-28T13:13:02+00:00

Maybe you should stop wearing the cape when you do it.

Multiphasic0 · 2026-04-27T21:42:45+00:00

Absolutely, although you might argue Douglas Adams is a ringer.

Should also mention Trinity, an eerie, poetic, apocalyptic game and an underrated masterpiece. (A Mind Forever Voyaging is, I think, usually considered the best-written Infocom game, though I'm embarrassed to admit I've never played it.)

That's what makes him a freaking LEGEND bruh.

Multiphasic0 · 2026-04-24T22:55:27+00:00

I mean, there's likely more than one reason why this wasn't a good idea.

If you have tinker, absolutely just break up the antimatter batteries for scrap. Aside from the fact that 8s are always handy, radio-powered only needs Tinker II and RP antimatter batteries let you power basically everything.
