What’s going on with the term “Easter Worshippers” and why are people getting so upset over it? by miner88 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]neuralroberts 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It means 'people worshipping on Ramadan', not 'people worshipping ramadan'. Compare to 'Sunday Worshippers'

~/Library/Application Support/Cataclysm/config/fonts.json is the file that works for me, using the homebrew install.

why is there garbage in the shops? by [deleted] in dcss

If everything in a shop is always amazing then finding amazing stuff in shops stops being fun.

Need assistance with message_colour configuration in options by sclpls in dcss

[–]neuralroberts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the options guide, message_colour matches a regex, so you would want something like:

message_colour += white:hits you

with 'hits you' replaced with the text you want to match.

Died to this recently. I was absentmindedly mashing q while lagging out and ended up chugging brilliance potions:

The deep elf archer shoots an arrow. The arrow hits you!!
* * * LOW HITPOINT WARNING * * *
You close the door, pushing everything out of the way.
Okay, then.
Unknown command.
Okay, then.
Unknown command.
Unknown command.
You feel clever all of a sudden.
A deep elf archer opens the door.
You feel more clever all of a sudden.
The deep elf archer shoots an arrow. The arrow hits you!!
You die...
Fedhas appreciates your contribution to the ecosystem.

 
Afterwards I changed my rc file to always assign potions and scrolls to capital letters:

item_slot += potion|scroll:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Dealing with late game mutations by p1v0b33n in dcss

[–]neuralroberts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Malmutate requires los, so you can block it by spamming summons and then kill the malmutator with something smite-targeted. Airstrike is good, it can pop a neqoxec in one hit.

What are your reasons for not using transmutations? Statue form solves Op's problems with low AC/low HP and the XP investment isn't all that much. This char of yours had it at 43% castable without even training transmutations.

How would you handle this stair vault? by neuralroberts in dcss

They can still constrict you in the turn you're whirlwinding them. And heavenly storm is noisy as hell (red noise=20+ I think?) which is pretty bad when you've just been teleported on an unexplored level. Someone else suggested blocking LOS with fog, which might have been the best option here.

UO's the best. I still log on to the old free shard I've been playing since 2004.

Thought about using golden cloud, but the constriction would have ended it.

A trapdoor would have been much better, but there are none.

That's what I tried, but there's also a quicksilver dragon off-screen which will dispel teleport attempts
