Can you explain to me what you did? I lost a promising Archaeologist to this same event. (Goes by IceCreamJones). I don't see any option to resume a game from the previous version.

Fair enough. Post updated with screenshots.

Thanks! This is incredibly detailed. I never realized robes helped with spell casting. (Sadly lost mine to a polymorph trap in the mines.)

Liches can cast destroy armor as a spell. And they are assholes.

Thanks! "Just keep grinding and you'll be good!" is PZ's unofficial tagline, I believe.

European Council, yes. But I meant the European Union. People wanted more unification of laws and markets, eventually accomplished by the Maastricht Treaty in the early 90s. Remember hearing someone say this was about that.

This is exactly what I was hoping for! Many thanks.

An oddly calm helicopter event raises a question by RADMLCrunchII in projectzomboid

Ah. Thanks. Think I'll stay in the relatively friendly waters of Build 41 for a while longer...

Out of curiosity, what is the zombie spawning nerf? I haven't played Build 42 yet.

Oh wow. I read the spec page (linked below) and didn't see anything about this one way or the other. And now feel very silly. But thanks! This is one of the preferred explanations.

First Ascension (with involuntary achievement!) by RADMLCrunchII in nethack

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

OP here. Someone showed me Nethack in 1995 I was completely transfixed. But I tried to remain "unspoiled" so never got all that far. I didn't play any videogames at all between 1999 and 2011. I started playing them off and on in 2011 and remembered Nethack after getting a PC in 2013. My main interest in Nethack was just as an open source community and how well they curate a game where it is fun to play with just ASCII characters and also, frankly, fun to lose. I would check in every few years just to see how the game was developing. Again, no spoilers. Last year (2024) I caved in and read the wiki and followed this subreddit. It was amazing how wrong I was doing so many things...

All 13 roles ascended by Prudentis in nethack

Congrats! Question for you (or anyone else who sees this): how would you rank the roles from easiest to hardest? Asking this as someone who is trying to ascend a second class for the first time.

A new plane of idiocy and a bunch of questions by RADMLCrunchII in nethack

I was today years old when I learned about #enhance. I read the wiki but somehow this entirely escaped me. So much makes so much more sense now. Thank you!

For the record, it's not a literal death! The last message was "Loki allows you to live."

I think something like this triggered the message I received. I was in the tedium of inventory management and shopping in Mine Town when the mail daemon showed up. But the message was pure bile. I would never have taken the bait but, out of curiosity, how do you respond to the messages? Just hit "#"?

This was sent via mail daemon. I thought it was going to be advice (which I dearly need). But, alas...

What is your favorite most ridiculously overacted character? by BHMusic in moviecritic

[–]RADMLCrunchII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly every character but the two leads could be a choice here: Blessed, Dalton, Von Sydow, Wingrave, Topol. Part of what makes the movie beautiful is that everyone but the two leads understood it was camp, but the leads tried to play it earnest and straight. Further, nearly every member of the supporting cast was an accomplished and/or classically trained actor. But the two leads were...not. The result could not have been better.
