<ais523> and got to Astral!
<ais523> warning: I have a higher proportion of Astral deaths than pretty much anyone else
<K2> ais523: my sporkhack record enters chat
<bhaak> nobody is perfect
<K2> except aosdict. he is perfect in every way. he just allows bugs in xnh to exist so the rest of us dont feel ashamed
<aosdict> you're slightly off, I allow bugs in xnh to exist to give qt something to do
<dbanethacker> When you throw an actual gem at a unicorn, do you have to not be blind to get the luck bonus?
<stenno> no, don't think so
<mobileuser> blind is fine
<stenno> i assume the fact if a unicorn accepts a gem 'gratefully' instead of 'gracefully' is something you can only see
<stenno> but i wouldn't know, i never saw a grateful unicorn irl
<stenno> it must be a subtle change in their facial expression
<crunchbubba> I was laughing at wielding cream pies, then saw that it's actually in the wiki
<Arseniy> not only are cream pies on the wiki, so is suggestion to go to the trouble of robbing a shop to get them because it's that important
<aosdict> YASI: shopkeepers store items that could be dangerous (wands of death and such) in plexiglas cases the hero cannot open
< K2> oh man my horse got me a pair of speed boots from this shop

< Moult[m]> Eh why is cancelation powerful? Ive never once used it in combat
< Umbire> "negates spellcasting" among various other things but outside of ultra-wizards people stick to the wand
< docpi> Moult[m], to prevent nymphs from stealing essential items from you, and teleporting away, to cancel dragon breath attacs, to stop Liches from
summoning nasties, etc.
< docpi> Lots of special monster attacs that a spell of cancellation removes the worry about of.
< docpi> BEHOLD SPEAKERS OF ENGLISH, A VALID COMBINATION OF DOUBLE TRAILING PREPOSITIONS!
< stenno> totally going to play dnethack for junethack on the weekend
< stenno> or notdnethack
< crunchbubba> that is the question?
< stenno> :P
<elenmirie> I found an egg that I can kick over and over, and it goes "Splat" every time but does not break
<Umbire> elenmirie, what variant?
<elenmirie> grunt
<Umbire> lol
<aosdict> elenmirie: you found the platonic ideal of teamsplat
<docpi> Now, krakens do not provide any interesting intrinsics, nor do they revive..
<ChrisE> This one does seem to have provided the 'dead' intrinsic.
