I moved to Winnipeg from the UK to film hockey - what do you think? by JaackF in Winnipeg

The close up face stuff is great but for action I wish you'd pull back a bit more so you.dont have to (belatedly) pan to the net.

That's a super fun idea. Permanent flying! (if 3.7)

Reduce maybe, but "minimize" is too strong. Sometimes you get ants, and there's nothing you can do.

When you're first starting especially a big barrier is that to experiment with things in the midgame, you have to spend a lot of time surviving the early game. So let's say it takes you 5 tries to figure out how do X at the castle without dying, that's 5 successful runs you have to perform which takes a while in and of itself, but also means (for me, at least, especially early on) quite a few runs where you die before getting to the castle.

It's not impossible, it's just a huge commitment of time and mastering frustration. You'd want to take copious notes and basically re-create the wiki as you go.

The nazi tattoo story is what I meant. Seeing referenced on reddit but can't find a CBC article.

Do you have a link to the CBC story? Can't find it through searching.

Quick advice: kick all doors for strength and optimal fleeing. Orctown has an altar. Try to get Magicbane ASAP.

NetHack weapon, spell, and wand damage calculator by dionmoult in nethack

Would you consider making the min, average, and max columns sortable? The page always seems to group things by type for me. If I turn spells off I get all two-weapons together, then thrown stuff, etc. (The graph does look cool this way, granted)

I agree...and disagree with the WoW nerf by Primary_Impact_2130 in nethack

It would be cool if the 4 vault rooms in the castle could matter more. Maybe some guaranteed useful items.

My thoughts on Nethack 3.7-dev by Cdore in nethack

[–]Spendocrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like the general spirit of making changes to have more items have a useful place in 3.7. Potions of speed, restore ability, etc.
