<K2> amy has incorporated a couple of my joke ideas before
<K2> such as '50shadesofgrayswandir' and 'plaidswandir'
<aosdict> fleecyswandir?
<jonadab> [hallu-color]swandir
<FlamingGuacamole> k2: veryverydarkgreyswandir
<FlamingGuacamole> batman: i only work with blackswandir.
<jonadab> darkerthanblackswandir
<K2> wtfswandir
<K2> i think that summarizes slex
<jonadab> brighterthanwhiteswandir
<FlamingGuacamole> ultravioletswandir
<aosdict> hooloovooswandir
<aosdict> octarineswandir
<aosdict> Hooloovooswandir is, of course, an intelligent artifact.
<jonadab> Naturally.
<jonadab> Actually, it should be superintelligent, and blast you any time you look at it. Even farlook.
<aosdict> #f183d5swandir
<hothraxxa> agswandir
<K2> constructionworkeryellowswandir
<FlamingGuacamole> schoolbusyellowswandir
<FlamingGuacamole> aquamarineswandir
<Pinkbeast> wizardswandir
<K2> i could do this all day
<FlamingGuacamole> i have nothing else to do today, so why not?
<aosdict> clayswandir
<FlamingGuacamole> yayswandir
<FlamingGuacamole> did we say "bundleswandir" yet?
<aosdict> nope
<Pinkbeast> I think you mean Excalibundle
<K2> rofl
<K2> fleecybrand
<aosdict> turn all the *banes into *bundles
<aosdict> ogrebundle, trollsbundle etc
<Pinkbeast> Stormbundler
<aosdict> The Longbundle of Diana
<K2> quiver of fleecy arrows
<Pinkbeast> The Orb of Fleece
<K2> The Eye of the FleecyBundle
<FlamingGuacamole> The *brand artifacts: Fire Brand, Frost Brand, Fear Brand, Faith Brand, Fleece Brand, and Bundlebundlebundle Brand.
<Pinkbeast> Brand Brand, which mutters "sponsored by Coca-Cola" all the time
<K2> amy is going to lose her shit when she reads this
<K2> slex update soon...
<Pinkbeast> Have we had the Bundle of Opening?
<K2> omg thats awesome
<K2> candelebundle
<aosdict> Bundleabrum of Invocation
<K2> aosdict thats even better
<K2> 'the book of the fleecy bundlebundlebundle'
<hothraxxa> you cads! do you realize what you're doing?
<hothraxxa> think of the poor future slex players
<hothraxxa> who will have to endure all of these things
<Pinkbeast> Presumably SLEX players like these kinds of things
<aosdict> slex players are less "poor", more "voluntarily insane"

<codehappy> "You were wearing an uncursed -2 pair of boots called fumble."
<codehappy> "You finish disrobing. You feel wise! You must have been very observant."
<codehappy> "You feel agile! You must have been working on your reflexes."

<dtype> apparently nethackwiki appears high in the generic google search rankings for "polearm"
<dtype> appeared in 18000 search results last month for that
<dtype> not many clickthroughs. heh
<dtype> i feel there is a money making opportunity to sell polearms on the site

<Adeon> the junethack scoring system is obviously broken
<Adeon> the clan I'm in is not winning

<aosdict> Cborne: doesn't even need to be a door
<aosdict> kick the air
<Cborne> lol
<winny> are you srs
<Cborne> does that actually make noise
<aosdict> for some reason this wakes up everything ever
<Deuce-Zen> your guy shouts "NINJA KICK" when he does it
<Deuce-Zen> thats why it wakes up monsters

<greycat> wow, my pony almost survived the very first room.
<greycat> The door resists! Clip-clop falls into a pit! Clip-clop is killed!

<terrarian_51> Hi, guys! I'm still trying to play xNetHack, but I have no knowledge about coding. However, now this piece of **** called NetHack forcefully overwrites my colors for curses interface, and I don't know, how could I change that behaviour. The set of color options from configuration file doesn't work. What should I do to set my preset of colors, taken from windows prompt?
<K2> word of advice terrarian_51 - calling the game you're looking for help with a piece of shit... probably not the smartest move
<qt> i think it stands for perfect impressive exquisite cool example of super hot impressive techniques
<K2> :)
<qt> obviously that is a mouthful, you almost have to shorten it

<stagnate> The water nymph stole a rustproof long sword named Excalibur.
<stagnate> Move 3 squares.  w - a rustproof long sword named Excalibur.   / s - a potion called object detection.
<Furey> she hit a trap? any darts, arrows, rocks on the square?
<stagnate> Pets.  Lots of pets.
<stagnate> Currently have 7 with me.  No magic whistle yet :(
<Furey> imagining the "lots of guns" scene from the matrix but with little figurines.
<stagnate> Say hello to my little friend[s]

<Looksfar> Have to say, a bunch of zombies spawning in a temple is a chuckle. Priest kills them, they re-animate, priest kills them, etc. I want to sell popcorn.

<rld> <@Shadow_Rider> uh
<rld> <@Shadow_Rider> does instrument not play passtune if cursed or smth
<aoei> never seen that
<aoei> not sure tho
<rld> <@Shadow_Rider> thats not even true either
<rld> <@Shadow_Rider> harp is not doing it
<aoei> u sure u didn't fuck up the solution
<rld> <@Shadow_Rider> none of the letters are doing anything
<aoei> wut
<rld> <@ichbinmiah> harp is not tonal?
<rld> <@Shadow_Rider> emits vibrations
<rld> <@Shadow_Rider> harp should work
<aoei> and no holy to rule out curse problem?
<aoei> harp is 100% tonal lol
<rld> <@Shadow_Rider> its buc tested
<rld> <@Shadow_Rider> its uncursed
<aoei> oh
<aoei> wait
<aoei> what
<aoei> bug?
<aoei> are you standing in the correct location

* Grasshopper frees a prisoner
<Grasshopper> "The prisoner speaks: "I'm finally free!"
<Grasshopper> The purple worm swallows the prisoner. "Burrrrp!"
<Grasshopper> sometimes freedom is not what you think

<K2> As you move the Hand of Vecna closer to your own, your left
<K2> hand suddenly shrivels up and falls off at the wrist! Before
<K2> you can react, the Hand of Vecna attaches itself to where your
<K2> own hand used to be. In a panic, you struggle to remove it
<K2> from your arm, but it has merged itself to you firmly. It dawns
<K2> on you that you will never be able to free yourself from it.
<K2> ^ com_pager when putting on the hand
<aosdict> what if you're like an infidel who knew exactly what this was going to do and would instead revel in it
<K2> you'll still panic. no one is ready for watching their hand shrivel up and fall off
<aosdict> speak for yourself
<K2> hah

<botifico-16655b7> [xNetHack] copperwater 5b41c94 - Fix: "leather armor" shim made all wishes produce light armor
<K2> oh hey
<K2> that was kind of a big one yeah?
<K2> your t-shirt reads 'I wished for the eye of the aethioipica and all I got was this lousy light armor'

<FIQ> Yeah, but to my understanding, Deucehack is a bit unstable
<Demo> it is indeed
<Demo> before I die coop nethack will exist
<Demo> because I won't die before that
<FIQ> better to never release it then, to preserve Demo's immortality

<cbus> the funeral shroud was a invis cloak
<aosdict> ... so that when you have the funeral, everyone goes "hey wait where's the dead guy"?
<hackemslashem> Or if displacement, hey there's the dead guy, no wait, over there!
<aosdict> funeral MR shroud: I hate this dead guy! why are my magic missiles bouncing off him?!

<qt> oh man, I just got a fountain wish on dlvl 1
<qt> what should I wish for
<aosdict> a pancake
<qt> seriously? i think fortune cookie is better because it has a hint
<qt> could be useful
<qt> i guess dragon scale mail is probably the way to go
<Arahael> You can't eat that.
<aosdict> sdsm will not give you that deep gustatory satisfaction that a pancake will

<Beholder> [hdf-us] [nh370] Grandolar (Wiz Gno Mal Neu) murdered Snowball XXXV, his faithful kitten, on T:1808
<Umbire> This bodes poorly for Snowball XXXVI

<bhaak> amateurhour: you obviously didn't look for dyson sphere or artificial black holes. they are much easier to detect
<amateurhour> if I were a slex developer, I would add those as new floating sphere monsters
<LarienTelrunya> thank you for your contribution to the slex monster list
<nabru> amateurhour: I read this as "floating point monsters"
<amateurhour> haha
<nabru> "The floating point hits! You lose 0.300000004 HP."

Wizmode test overflowing the gold counter, polyselfed into a rock mole and then eating it:
"This gold is delicious! You faint from lack of food.--More--"

<+Menche> amybsod should add donald trump to slex
<+Menche> that's like the only thing it's missing
<+Menche> the glyph would be orange of course
<+Menche> it would carry lots of gold, create walls, and have a levelporting "deport" attack

riker: i'll have you know i go for quality over quantity
riker: anybody who gets MY bones piles should go "oh sick i wonder what epic shit riker died with", then "how the hell did he die he has 4 wishes on his body????"
riker: not "oh goddamnit k2 died to another boulder trap. well, here's a cursed expensive camera and a -2 elven cloak i guess"

<deadnoob> will i become a better player if I sit on a piece of paper with elbereth written on it while playing nethack

<tsuteiuQ> "Your cream pie would get all frosty."

<jonadab> They don't need to pick a release date, they just need to decide "Yes, we want to do a 3.6.1 release now" and start working on it.
<jonadab> And _document_ (at least internally) the process of doing the release, so that they have a checklist to go by next time.
<jonadab> (A member of the dev team has disclosed that there is no such documentation, and nobody remembers everything because they've done all of one release in the last forever.)
<scorchgeek> pff, who needs documentation
<scorchgeek> people will just magically figure it out!
<jonadab> Only people who aren't omniscient need documentation, apparently.
<jonadab> I guess the Dev Team can just think of everything.

<amateurhour> I found a wand of wishing in sokoban during my lunch break
<amateurhour> can't wait to see how I throw this run away :)
<merleke> :D
<merleke> amateurhour what are you playing? valkyrie?
<amateurhour> monk
<K2> wish for a longer lunch break
<merleke> :P

<krm26> Evilhack definitely hits that sweet spot of ascension likelihood where I can *probably* do it but I'm going to having multiple heart attacks the whole time anyway

<LarienTelrunya> where the hell is the downstair (this is starting to become a theme in the mino maze...)
<LarienTelrunya> found it!
<[{Demo}]> stairwolf
<[{Demo}]> its like a werewolf but it turns into stairs

<@Croesus> [US] nabru (Val Dwa Fem Law) murdered Rougelike, her faithful kitten, on T:533
<+rld> <@Eternal Guardian> It's spelled roguelike.

<tinklebear> Mog with the pro-tips: "Play the right tune"
<krm26> Mog is such a douche
<tinklebear> lol
<Umbire> Just means you're close to getting passtune for free with a future prayer
<tinklebear> "For free". Selling you a bridge, morelike

< Guest_41> I notice the scrolls of earth are back in sokoban.
< Guest_41> Any reason us lowly mortals are allowed to know? ;)
<@bhaak> the Gods are not deaf and can get annoyed by constant mortal lamentations

<K2> does the new quest leader for the arc quest in xnh have a camera?
<aosdict> no
<K2> they said they took a pic of the quest artifact after it was returned
<aosdict> what, you want MORE reasons to kill leaders?
<K2> ergo, they should have a camera
<aosdict> it saddens me that evilhack quest leaders have junethack bounties on their heads
<K2> this is the way
<aosdict> maybe they have a non-expensive camera, which doesn't exist as an item so you can't take it
<aosdict> or a bulky old camera that prints polaroids
<aosdict> one of the ones on a tripod
<K2> ^ that
<K2> powder flash
<K2> old school
<aosdict> the camera is actually an artifact in its own right, having been uncovered from an ancient dig site. pity you can't have it

<PaRaD0xx> q - an athame named Elbereth
<PaRaD0xx> heh
<PaRaD0xx> oops

<banonogon> Wow, gotta love when the shopkeeper just casually has the Vorpal Blade lying around amidst a bunch of random food items and potions
<banonogon> So... anyone got 20000 zorkmids they can loan me :P
<qt> attack the shopkeeper with it and pray for instakill lol
<qt> "you look hungry, asidonhopo. want a snicker snack?"

<MGN001> What does it mean when my horse neighs?
<aosdict> it means it's a horse

<jetjaguar> a lot of these early game deaths of mine could have easily been avoided if the wands I find were just wands of wishing.
<ChrisE> That's a clever solution. Perhaps you should wish for some wands of wishing.

< stenno> any news from /dev/null ? or are you just piping in requests and get no response?
< stenno> :P
< stenno> echo "When does the tournament actually start?" > /dev/null

<Menchers> I let my little dog become a large dog
<riker> they grow up so fast, don't they?
<Menchers> when I let it kill stuff, yeah
<riker> feels like just a minute ago Sirius was just a little dog, and that newt was still alive
<riker> went by in a blink of a (floating) eye

<K2> arahael there's typically an open beta period before go time
<K2> we shut it all down again 24 hrs prior to go time, wipe all the saves, xlogfile, etc
<aosdict> it's really just because K2 has a deal with the devil that involves a noninterference clause with halloween
<K2> sssshhhh
* arahael thinks aosdict's theory sounds very plausible.
<aosdict> I also like how day of the dead is when people start splatting en masse
<K2> fitting

* zid sits on his arse waiting for a brown pudding.
<Cheapy|> zid, err...you don't plan on making your own...
<zid> TO SPAWN >_<

<ProzacElf> people in #nethack talked at me like i was some kind of mutant because i liked nh4

<raisse> You reach out your arms and grab Poes. You pull Poes out of the pit. Poes falls into a pit!
<raisse> I'm not going to pull you out *again*, kitty-cat.
<Wooble> raisse: maybe the cat likes it in the pit.
<raisse> like cats and boxes
<jonathanhanes> If it fits it sits
<jonathanhanes> in pits

< Mitzutsune> would be really funny if you could geno the riders
< Mitzutsune> YASD idea: genociding & also kills you :)
< blankman> i think e.g. genociding "h" as a dwarf actually does that.
< nabru> blankman: yep, it does
< nabru> if you're h and geno h, rip
< cbus> not sure if mitzu made a deep joke or not
< cbus> (you being war)
< Mitzutsune> it was a deep joke, yes
< cbus> the 4th rider
< tinklebear> War is Peace
< Andrio> Can any & be genocided anyway? Besided the mail daemon...
< Mitzutsune> doesn't seem so
< nabru> War is Peace, Famine is Satiation, Death is Life, Pestilence is Health
* tinklebear feels better already
< arahael> nabru: Doubleplus ungood!

<FIQ> yep
<FIQ> jonathanhanes: how far were you?
<jonathanhanes> to the quest, still needed to level up a bunch though.
<aosdict> what happened?
<jonathanhanes> Walked into a lichen, didn't have my cream pies equipped
<aosdict> I like the mental image of you walking over a lichen by accident, and then clutching your head and wailing "What have I done?!"
* jonathanhanes commits sudoku
<raisse> what do you do that with, a magic marker?

* Umbire (~UmbireThe@user/umbire) has joined #hardfought
<Umbire> I suppose I've missed some important things while I was offline?
<Pinkbeast> Yeah, NetHack 3.8.0 will feature cryptocurrency microtransactions

<qt> I just tried to build the current HEAD
<qt> i started a new game and said yes to the tutorial prompt
<qt> nhl_loadlua: Error opening (tut-1.lua) Program in disorder! (Saving and reloading may fix this problem.)
<qt> Please report these messages to devteam@nethack.org. Couldn't load "tut-1.lua" - making a maze.

<qt> The minotaur hits! The minotaur butts! You die...
<qt> good tutorial
<ais523> I don't think that's supposed to happen :-D
<qt> I don't know, I think it's a pretty effective introduction to the game

<Istfemer> I'm exploring the Gnomish Mines; it's a regular non-bones level. I've used farlook to check out stuff and this's what I see: "A statue of large mimic". Looks pretty suspicious to me.
<Istfemer> Hmmm. Which one out of three mimic kinds could it be?
<Istfemer> Ahh. A large mimic!
<Istfemer> Master of disguise that particular mimic was not.

<aosdict> in another variant, knockoff gems (made of stone like this one, not worthless glass) could be an actual feature
<aosdict> "sorry, that LOOKS like a ruby, but instead of corundum it's made of rock. Ten zorkmids."
<Kes> aosdict: Counterfeit money when
<aosdict> $ - 5 iron gold pieces (0 aum)
<amateurhour> imagine getting scammed like that at ludios
<Kes> Wait, better idea: Electrum pieces.
<nabru> "You try to give the shopkeeper your cheap imitation of gold! The shopkeeper gets angry! How dare you scam me!
<raisse> Oh I was thinking ludios would be the ONLY place where you can be sure your gold is genuine
<stenno> iron gold pieces..
<Demo> fort knox is empty and money is all predicated on lies
<raisse> lawful priests who take only ludios gold
<nabru> Fool's gold
<raisse> found on leppies
<nabru> In Ludios there could be a madman raging about the advantages of crypto
<Demo> lol
<Demo> fort ludios throneroom denizen nfts

<Kes> "Asmodeus appears in a cloud of smoke! Asmodeus demands 2022 zorkmids or the equivalent in NFTs!"

<Wooble> the arthur legend would be cooler if everyone else who tried pulling the sword from the stone was also fatally blasted
