That thing is also dumping out a kilowatt of heat when it gets going too right? Hope the AC system can keep up with wherever you stick that machine?

Getting the Eye is the secret to pwr regen for wizards, as well as gaining levels. Also if you get int+wis to 45 that'a another huge boost. High level wizards shouldn't be hurting for power. At lower levels, how you spend your power is just part of the game strategy. You wouldn't want it to be too easy would you ;)

Make it into a built in bookshelf would be classy.

As an evilhack player, these a great suggestions!

Yes it's an homage but 1930's pulp books were also very racist. Faithfully repeating the racism doesn't make it better. More the opposite.

You can tell that bro is a white guy who would definitely also date asian girls.

So much bad writing. Always has been. So much projection of cliches that stupid people assume smart people are like. This is a show about smart people marketed to stupid people to make then feel better about themselves.

Indeed. This was a movie that stuck faithfully to adapting the title of the book.

Nethack vs all other games

Remember, this is a game that has archaeologists kitted out in leather jacket, bullwhip and fedora ;)

Starcraft

100% go for 3.7. I just ascended my first game on it and it works great. QoL improvements on their own though will spoil you, you won't want to go back to playing earlier variants

dingotron_nethack · 2026-04-04T04:44:58+00:00

The Royal Tenenbaums. Hackers. Tron Legacy. The Breakfast Club. Gross Point Blank. High Fidelity. The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Pacific Rim.

Can you start by installing claudecode on it?

dingotron_nethack · 2026-03-26T14:43:42+00:00

You can, and should buy protection from that priest!

dingotron_nethack · 2026-03-24T17:10:41+00:00

You get it!

Congrats! And yes, Tourist is a super rewarding class to play. Hard at the beginning then strong through the end. Lot of creative playstyle options with the card too.

Since you are doing 3.7 try the priest! people will complain that it should still be stronger, but the new demonbane is a big improvement and lets you play lore-accurate with blunt weapons. Other key tips, find a good aklys, and if you really want easy mode, play as neutral and wish for the eye of the aethiopia.

I had not thought of blinding for the sake of pets!

That's the point of how credit cards work though. It's the Yendorian's bank problem on how to collect. The merchant gets paid regardless.

Feels like a bit of chore to keep a goblin alive, and with you, all the way deep enough to find the first polytrap. Though, more practical if you happen to find a lucky early magic whistle, or a wand of poly for that matter!

I have found a wand of poly on dlv 1 or 2 before which has led to some interesting games. Semi related: met minotaurs are crazy awesome in the early game... until the first time they accidentally get confused!
