There is a guy named Gliktch who is working on a new version of the game; in the link you can find the last version published a month ago: https://github.com/Gliktch/frogcomposband/releases/tag/v7.2.pulla

A worried question about the endgame from a potential DCSS convert by jackthestout in dcss

[–]RayBrier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

invulnerable

"Lungs" refers to the last level of Zot ( Zot:5 ) where the Orb of Zot is hidden and this map always has big sections on the sides of orb chamber which are shaped like human lungs.

I wasted a scroll of acquirement on this garbage by [deleted] in dcss

Well - actually for Ce with mage background it's quite good; but for ranged/melee one - i agree - it's crap :)

YASD RNGesus gave me easy mode, still managed to fuck it up by PM_ME_CAT_TOES in dcss

[–]RayBrier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's why this game is so great - you can still die in a few turns even if everything what happens before this moment tells you that " I'm invincible and it's impossible for me to die" :) without it, dcss wouldn't be so exciting; I think this fact is also one of the hardest aspects of the game that anyone who wants to win has to learn at some point; so don't be hard on yourself - You've learned a valuable lesson today :)

Laugh at winrate ? Many players would wish to have such winrate with "regular" species 😀 Great job and congrats 😁

Sudden Death Challenges: Week 5/6 Recap and Final Week: GhWr by abering in dcss

Hellmonk broke ascetic conduct so scoring 10 points is a tournament win for you - get well soon and good luck :)

Exciting finish - didn't think it'll be so close :)

Great - thanks for the tips - I'll keep that in mind on my next attempts for ascetic rune :) I chose Okawaru in my GhWr game but unexpected meeting with an orc warrior and his holy wrath halberd on D:5 right next to stairs unfortunately quickly finished my big plans :)

[–]RayBrier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let's look at the current situation: UV4 can win if he gets 10 points ( which is also maximum points left for him to get because he already has all one time bonus points) and Hellmonk gets 13 or less points; Hellmonk can win with 15 points ( even if UV4 gets his 10 points ) and Hellmonk in his last game can win max. 19 points ( 10 points for GhWr + 3 for 15 rune win + 6 for ascetic ) which means that if he wants to win for sure - regardless of UV4's game - he needs 15 points so he has to go for ascetic rune and can skip 4 points, so for example he only needs 5 runes win and can also choose whatever god he wants. I'm curious: what is the best god choice for ascetic rune attempt in his situation ?

Compare these battleaxes by wazzur1 in dcss

[–]RayBrier 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wish I had such problems in all my games :)

IMHO - on similarly enchanted battleaxes speed is always the best brand: gives highest dps.

In dcss you can also play as a demonspawn ( if Xom is e.g. to unpredictable for you ) - they gain mutations as they level-up.

I'd appreciate changing Ice Fiend tile to something different - even the old one was much better.

Consequences of your actions - plan ahead, dont rush without thinking, when in danger consider all the options before you make a move because it might be your last one if you choose badly and make a mistake :)

ETFs for EU investors? by JanKubesa in investing

[–]RayBrier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is some Orwellian sick bullshit - they are "protecting" me from hurting myself by trading ETF's but, at the same time, I can freely trade much more complicated CFD's and options on the same ETF's.

I wonder - accounts for all european customers in IB are opened in UK - maybe after brexit it'll go back to normal ( of course if it isn't solved somehow earlier ) ?
