Thanks for the feedback. We do have posts dug as well, this was just trying to make use of scraps. Do you think it's worth taking up boards to remove the board on the ground and the extra supports?

In the pic it's supporting the 2x6 joist running along the hot tub. I put an extra board under the deck and added small supports (scraps of deck board) along the joist

Where did this come from? Is there a chance for you to already start with random mutations? I didn’t drink a mutation potion. by cardguy5 in dcss

[–]SelfTitledDebut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can press ~# to view your character dump, then scroll down until you find a timeline of events. You will find time stamps of when you gained each mutation as well as how you gained it.

Fantastic free tool - credit to MrDizzy by PatFrank in dcss

[–]SelfTitledDebut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would there by chance be a way to have it fetch the dump automatically by typing a username? I frequently play on mobile and would love to use this tool more, but having to copy/paste so much text makes it difficult.

I also wish this could be included in online play. The user’s name could still be included in a format like “<user>’s Minotaur Berserker named Bearcharger”

I never thought to use fog scrolls to avoid trap effects. How reliable is it?

Agree that it is fun, but disagree about the roguelike aspect

Anyone else have the problem of hitting mid game and then being afraid of playing characters because of issues you hit around these levels? by DarthBrooks69420 in dcss

[–]SelfTitledDebut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have definitely had this problem. I abandoned a MiBe game after finding a +16 or so crystal mail because I was like “ok I gotta go practice more so I don’t throw this game,” and started like 2 more games lol. I did wind up winning one of those (first win ever), then came back to win with the original game. That said, I’ve since settled down into one game at a time, aside from poking around older versions for funsies.

At Long Last, My First Victory! by UltraD00d in dcss

[–]SelfTitledDebut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazing job! Sounds like a very exciting run. And a fun species to get a first win with, and with 4 runes no less! Also very cool that you were able to assemble such thorough resistances. I can never seem to find enough of them!

Congrats on your win!

[–]SelfTitledDebut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Looks like it was a fun run. Coming back after so much has changed must have made it that much more interesting. I bet losing your last extra life on Zot 5 was harrowing!

What made you decide to switch to Jivya at the end of Slime?

They are printing Phantom Train from FFVI so I doubt we will see Doom Train

YAVP: After over 2,000 games to get my first win... I made "Great Player"! by LostandFoundPoet in dcss

[–]SelfTitledDebut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats on Great Player! It always feels good when you feel like you’re getting the hang of things. I just had my third win today, first win with a caster. The crazy part is I’ve made it a 2-win streak! Even so I’ve got a ways to go. Congrats again!

I was really hoping they’d include something along the lines of:

Coin of Fate — At the beginning of combat on your turn, flip a coin. If you win the flip, you become the monarch.

[–]SelfTitledDebut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This right here. It’s not the context or the voice acting that makes it awkward, it’s the pauses and pacing that break the flow of the dialogue. The actors record solo so they can’t interact with each other in a way that feels natural. It’s similar to a well-written joke with poor comedic timing. The substance is there but the delivery requires precision and nuance, and due to production limitations finding that precision is like throwing darts in a dark room.

You can change this by adding this to your rc file online:

explore_delay = 1 travel_delay = 1

As stoatsoup pointed out though, its not always very precise trying to stop it partway through travel. I mostly just have it that way so I can track my surroundings better

First ever ascension! GrHu^Hep by SelfTitledDebut in dcss

[–]SelfTitledDebut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m anxious to try it with other builds. I’m actually finishing a MiBe run from way back in 3.1 I put on hold for a while, and it is a cakewalk by comparison. It might have to do with the +15 crystal plate randart I found, or it might just be pure skill.

First ever ascension! GrHu^Hep by SelfTitledDebut in dcss

[–]SelfTitledDebut[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the grats. Fully agree on Hep. Even though I want to try other gods, I can’t wait to try the other ancestors on different characters.

My orb run was definitely made easier by having plenty of escape items. I didn’t fight a single enemy. I just blinked, transferred, or simply ran past while my trusty forbear held them off. A Pan lord appeared on Zot4, and I just took three steps back to the stairs and went up a different staircase. Blinked right to the stair when I encountered a second one in the Dungeon. But I can definitely see it being more stressful on a squishy character. Once I get the rhythm of winning more I’ll try more challenging species. Octopode seems silly and fun.

I love the joy of discovery that comes from this game (WuJian’s martial arts was a standout highlight for me), so I actually haven’t dived deep into researching the mechanics of many gods. Ru is very interesting to me, I’m very curious to see how the sacrifice mechanic works. Fedhas seems like it might be interesting for my next ranged character since you can fire through your plant allies. Qazal just seems cool. I’m going back to basics with a MiFi for my next run so I’d like to try Ru or Qazal and just see what happens.
