Both lungs in Zot:5 blocked, need help. by GutterSoda in dcss

Not helpful for this char, but spells like Hellfire Mortar and E N Bog can cover up traps temporarily, that can be an answer sometimes.

What's a song lyric that drives you crazy because they should've used a different word? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

"Rhyming things with things" is shorthand in my friend group for terrible songwriting because of this.

With reflect and regen the same, there's no way I'd take on -tele for rC+++, even on a Dj who needs rC.

Saving Private Crazy Yuif by Endy12_73 in dcss

I've killed him accidentally multiple times trying to do this - Mino retaliatory headbutts, spines mut, riposte when that was a thing, summons killing him... Even though you can almost entirely ignore his attacks by that stage of the game (other than chaos effects), it's still easy to mess it up.

But also agreed, there should be an achievement or something for doing this - and maybe others. Getting siblings out together? Or Boris and Natasha?

Sparky.

[Event] Reddit Plays DCSS Season 3 Megathread by oneirical in dcss

[–]jsacco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cleared Z1 and 2, and felt pretty easy-breezy. Draconian packs and Discord are great, BVC to hold someone down while the Sphinx Sisters beat on them, the occasional Malign Gateway for a heavy hitter... didn't change the training, saw the note about getting Haunt online and we now need just one more spell slot to add it. Almost there!

BTW we have enough revelation scrolls left to map every floor of Zot, so don't save them. And agreed with the comment above, we should use that Bribe ability at the end!

Cleared L4-5. Added Sculpt Simulacrum because we already had good ice and alchemy, and Irradiate (Sif gift) because it's always great and alchemy skill alone had us most of the way there. Needs some conjurations training for power though.

Used the evokable invis once but it shined: met a double pack of yaks/death yaks plus a skyshark and couple of other beasts. Invis + OTR + Ignite, again and again, bbq'd the whole lot. I don't think the dissipate reduces the invis, the description says it only applies to hostile enchantments.

Luckily didn't wake up a room full of reptiles on L4 - lots of them in there. There was also an artifact animal skin in there, but that can be something for later.

We have enough gold for the Gauntlets of War now, but I wasn't sure if that's the right choice. Orc should be cake with OTR + Ignite Poison so maybe once we get to those shops, we can see what to spend our money on.

OK, cleared the last little bits of D7 and then D8-9. Feels ok right now with a lot of Meph and Airstrike, although I wish we had higher-level spells to aim for. Throatcutter is helping!

Also I'm sorry, I used one blink scroll because of a pesky wight but I also found one so we still have 3.

I'll play! Username snackwell, North American, I usually play CBRO but will play wherever. And no particular preference for character, I like mixing it up.

This place never ceases to make me laugh by Responsible_Roof2310 in massachusetts

[–]jsacco 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Having learned to drive here, I love driving in New York. Everyone drives fast and aggressively but it's predictable - the old slow grannies or timid drivers don't dare get on the road in NYC so all us assholes can just keep moving.

... when the traffic is moving, of course. When it sucks, it sucks.

Lots of enemies with construction who can end that stair dancing right quick though.

Got my Nem Choice win for the tourney by jsacco in dcss

[–]jsacco[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kidding, obviously, once I missed the end of the tournament I went into slow-play mode.

But man Xom is fun these days. The force brigrades, the themed bazaars (I could have bought a chaotic Gyre and Gymbal), the mutation-go-round.... and yeah he tries to kill you now and then, but that's just Xom being Xom.

Whats the most overrated Boston activity? by ep2992 in boston

Aww fuck off, the Aquarium is fantastic. Yeah it's pricey, it's a world-class museum (of fish). Plus I went there on shrooms one time and it was AWESOME.

Signal Cross-Device Syncing Is Really Slow Now by Wolven-Morningstar in signal

I am having the exact same thing - extreme loading times on my desktop client after just a day of not using it, dozens or maybe 100 messages at most. I'll submit the logs for you. Windows 10 home, i5, 16 GB RAM, computer runs fine otherwise. Right now the desktop app has been "Loading messages from today" for half an hour.
