<NetSysFire> yani: infidels gain altar sense
<NetSysFire> "You sense an altar on this level." or "You sense a gateway to Moloch." when its unaligned
<aosdict> when would that message appear?
<aosdict> arrival on the level? random chance of happening any turn?
<qt> when you step on the altar
<qt> it has a very short range

< bcode> I have a moon phase indicator on my desktop, visible through my transparent terminal background
< stenno> i have one when i look out of the window at night
< bcode> I don't, it's cloudy
< stenno> infact mentioning that full moon gives +1 Luck in nethack has destroyed at least one promising date
< bcode> wasn't worth it then, anyway
< bcode> "aw, look, the moon, how romantic" "yeah! if I were to play NetHack now I'd be luckier"
< Myrddin43> "You know, a full moon gives +1 to luck..." "You can't go down here"
< stenno> "do you want to kiss me?" "sorry, gotta run this knight!... MY LANCE WONT BREAK!!.."
< bcode> even though it's full moon you somehow didn't manage to get lucky?
< TruePika> somehow
< stenno> hehe
* stenno thinks its wise to not comment any further

<mobileuser> bleh angered asmodeus
<mobileuser> "Asmodeus whispers at thin air. Asmodeus gets angry!"
<mobileuser> OK, WTF?! :-)
<mobileuser> ^ K2
<Umbire> "Make a right mockery out of me, will you!?

<FIQ> You feel tough! You must be leading a healthy life-style.
<FIQ> I don't think entering the dungeons of doom is conducive to a healthy life-style

<hackemslashem> I'm going to be vacuuming a bunch of the stuff you added to my fork if you don't mind :)
<antigulp> Just don't take the code related to monsters riding monsters. That code is evil.
<antigulp> I didn't write that code, I channeled it from a nightmare dimension.

< mzmz> hello, I'm using Nethack4 v4.2.1
< Adeon> welcome and my condolences

* greycat should have known better than to assume that any line of code in the nethack source meant what it said it meant.

<mobileuser> man, it's taking me ages to get used to the QoL box looting change
<aosdict> I guess your quality of life has gone down then.

<Beholder> [hdf-eu] [spl] amateurhour (Mon Gul Mal Cha), 1359 points, T:1260, killed by a rothe
<amateurhour> magic traps lead to tragic maps

<qt> sort of silly that quest messages don't respect deafness
<qt> does the quest leader beam stuff directly into your brain

<mekkis> you know what having 4 "oLS enables you to do?
<zdude255> uh, die 4 times and live?
<mekkis> no, die with 4 "oLS in your bag of holding.
<zdude255> that works too

< Ashmodai> Somehow I'm beginning to believe most people spend more time staring at their death screens than actually getting anywhere in this game.

< Rodney> dingo (Wiz Gno Mal Neu) wished for "blessed greased +3", on turn 3400

@Tangles: You hear someone searching. You are beginning to feel weak. You stop searching.

<aosdict> YASI: shopkeepers store items that could be dangerous (wands of death and such) in plexiglas cases the hero cannot open

scorchgeek: The hobbit shoots a worthless piece of violet glass! You catch the worthless piece of violet glass.--More-- You are not interested in the hobbit's junk.

[Rodney has posted over 100 deaths in a row]
<dtype> lots of dead adventurers
<dtype> Rodney's job must be emotionally draining
<dtype> given that Rodney has been around from nearly the beginning, in theory he's announced almost 6M deaths
<amateurhour> that's a pretty crazy stat haha
<Wooble> and 3M were pots falling off a horse.

<hothraxxa> so i had a cursed potion of sleeping and a cursed diluted potion of sleeping
<hothraxxa> dipping the undiluted potion so they'd stack, guess what happens
<K2> water demon
<K2> water moccassins
<K2> second coming of jesus christ
<K2> elvis
<K2> ?
<hothraxxa> boy you are one shitty guesser
<K2> you somehow put a wand of cancellation into a BoH
* K2 is done guessing
<hothraxxa> it is true i have no boh
<K2> so what happened hothraxxa
<K2> the suspense is killing amateurhour
<amateurhour> my guess would be
<amateurhour> dipped one potion into the other
<K2> i'm still going with 'elvis'
<Umbire> Exploded the potion and put yourself to sleep?
<VaderFLAG> If it's "I dipped the diluted one" I demand a refund on this story
<mobileuser> the cursed potion became uncursed and wouldn't stack anymore
<mobileuser> a kop appeared an hit you with a rubber hose of fire and your potions exploded
<K2> sharknado
<hothraxxa> mobileuser wins
<mobileuser> \o/
<hothraxxa> i didn't know anyone even cared any more. i come back here to find the channel on tenterhooks
<mobileuser> I'm trying to understand why you would want to stack potions of sleeping
<hothraxxa> oh just for efficiency in dipping
<hothraxxa> on account of fountains dry up, which this one did

< khearn> Ah yes, nothing like stealing a stethoscope from a shop and applying it to yourself to find out that you're piously lawful.

<Beholder> [hdf-eu] [slex] amateurhour (Mon Sok Mal Neu), 9693 points, T:3480, dissolved in molten lava
<NAOrsa> rip :(
<NAOrsa> lava in gnomish mines sounds like Evilhack to me ;_;
<amateurhour> I purposefully swam in it
<amateurhour> hit a polytrap then got confused and killed my doggo
<amateurhour> or stunned or something
<amateurhour> then figured as lunch break was ending I'd just quit and start over later
<NAOrsa> it seems, alas amy had added at least two paranoid confirmations on stepping into molten lava :O
<NAOrsa> This is a lava tile that can burn you to a crisp. Really step on it? [yn] (n) Are you really sure [yes/no]? You fall into the lava!
<amateurhour> yeah, which is really useful because there's a lot of things happening all the time
<amateurhour> and many monsters which share the glyph
<nabru> Are you really, really sure? [Yes, I am!]
<nabru> To prove you are sure, solve this CAPTCHA.

<itsblah> I thought IRC stood for insert random crap
<itsblah> what am I supposed to do with this textbox here otherwise

< dtype> t - 28 uncursed dilithium crystals
< paxed> you can go to the edge of the universe with that amount.

<ProzacElf> HAHAHA
<ProzacElf> I KILLED THE GNOME JERK WITH THE BANISHMENT WAND
<ProzacElf> i think
<ProzacElf> with what i see now is my own wand of death
<ProzacElf> that's right gnome guard, you didn't think i would climb up 15 floors and then back down 4 more just to get my revenge
<ProzacElf> but look who's standing over whose corpse NOW, tough guy

<aosdict> evilhack should just rebase on xnethack then it would get the fix for free
<amateurhour> exnethack
<amateurhour> then dnethack could rebase on that for dexnethack
<amateurhour> obviously ndnh3 would be based on that for ndexnethack
<aosdict> then it gets ported to iphone for indexnethack
<aosdict> circle complete

<Rodney> walls (Wiz Gno Mal Neu), 2993232 points, T:53055, ascended
<Muad> oh, walls ascended. is the dungeon all big rooms now?

<Rodney> BilldaCat (Wiz Elf Mal Cha), 218 points, T:82, killed by a small mimic
<BilldaCat> What do you want to write in the dust here? Elbereth
<BilldaCat> You read: Elbereto
<BilldaCat> small mimic doesn't speak spanish i guess

<Shadow_Rider> 3.6 is the actual worst

<bouquet> I haven't really played for, like, a month. That's about 50 years in bouquet.
<bouquet> my laptop died 3 days after the 3 year warranty ended :( Had to use a etch-a-sketch while I waited for the replacement.
<riker> nethack etch-a-sketch port when?
<aosdict> "ok, now I'll draw the @ moving one space closer to the :..."

<Catiua> I just bounced a firebolt into a corner
<Catiua> and into my face
<Beholder> [hdf-eu] [fh] Catiua (Pri Hum Fem Neu), 25458 points, T:1759, caught herself in her own fireball
<FIQ> boom
<Catiua> Do not go gently into that good night
<aosdict> I would say being immolated by a fireball does not qualify as going gently

<amateurhour> YASI: your god checks if you're using their present at some point in the future and get really sad or mad if you're not
<qt> "Thou hast not even essayed to don the apron I sent thee! Dost thou mayhaps... not like it? Prithee tell me, mortal, I will not be offended, despite all the time I spent picking it out. Wouldst thou prefer an orcish dagger instead? I would fain send thee a boon thou wouldst actually use."
<qt> passive aggressive god
<amateurhour> haha

<K2> https://www.reddit.com/r/nethack/comments/wakb2u/evilhack_080_officially_released_work_on_next/
<qt> "what's been definitively crowned as the 'hardest variant'." <-- idk about this, i heard rodney in 1.3d had a devastating passive attack when he was killed until it got nerfed recently
<aosdict> K2: what kind of release announcement mentions plans for the next version instead of the cool new things you can have now, now, NOW?
<qt> maybe there's nothing interesting in this version
<aosdict> that must be it
<K2> aos why didnt you say that before I posted? damn
<K2> nice lookin out
[K2 adds a link to the 0.8.0 changelog to the post]
<K2> there
<K2> updated the post
<K2> ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
<aosdict> no
<aosdict> who wants to go read a stuffy changelog
<K2> you do
<aosdict> I want INFOGRAPHICS

<mobileuser> now my lev ring and free action ring are gone :-(
<amateurhour> you don't need free action anyway, pay for your actions like the rest of us
<mobileuser> hahahah
<nabru> there's no such thing as a free action. someone somewhere has to pay for it
<mobileuser> free action for everyone!!!
<nabru> universal free action!

<qt> what is lugth
<qt> one of the replacements for pirate speech in splicehack is 'lugth' -> 'earth'
<qt> is that supposed to counteract some earlier replacement that has been removed, like 'ear' -> 'lug'?
<antigulp> Welcome to the Plane of Lugth. Enjoy your stay.
<qt> huh yeah it used to replace ' ear' with ' lug'
<qt> I woke up lugly in the morning and set out in lugnest to lugn some money from my employer, the Lugl of Sandwich

<Sig> Ascending to immortality so you can finally figure out what cockatrice eggs taste like
<elenmirie> yummy they are
<elenmirie> to die for
<aosdict> Oh, you can do THAT by polying into something stoning resistant.
<aosdict> I hear they taste like chicken.
<elenmirie> how dull
<Sig> Lol
<elenmirie> eating cockatrice meat is the nethack equivalent of eating fugu
<elenmirie> wow, what's that tingling?
<Sig> Cockatrice and lizard stew. Just gotta make sure you get both in the same bite.
<elenmirie> lol, yes
<elenmirie> one mistake on the part of the chef, and voila! no more customers
<{Demo}> its ok i know stone to flesh
<elenmirie> aways bring a healer to dinner
<elenmirie> down minetown way
<aosdict> All good cockatrice chefs have a shady statue-selling business out the back door of the restaurant.

<bug_sniper> would be nice if I could borrow the shopkeeper's shotgun
<bug_sniper> or orcus's wand of death
<FIQ> "borrow"
<LarienTelrunya> "Hey Orcus, I need to kill Rodney real quick! You'll get your wand back once I zapped him to death!"
<bug_sniper> over his dead body, he can have it back

<Beholder> [hdf-us] [spl] bouquet (Wiz Vam Fem Cha) performed her first genocide (bullet ant), on T:4370
<bouquet> what a waste
<riker> random geno and testing for cursed?
<bouquet> no, already prayed away the bugs and it was my only "escape" worthy item
<AntiGulp> "Praying the bugs away" is coincidentally exactly what my development process is.

< Arseniy> When you see soldier ants and go, THAT's what I should train my unskilled knife on, you know you have good armour

< Muad> Wizard is about to die. --More-- You die.

<riker> excalibur is a crutch, REAL nethack players use only the wizard of yendor's corpse or an orcish dagger

<qt> uh oh
<qt> stupid 'you feel monsters are aware of you' woke up the wizard
<Shadow_Rider> Is that bad
<Shadow_Rider> Or you weren’t ready
<qt> well, i am not ready yet
<qt> at least not ready in the way i wanted to be
<qt> i dont have speed boots yet
<amateurhour> just type more quickly to go faster

<Loggers_VIII> the hell is a je ne sais quoi
<Loggers_VIII> actually I looked it up, that might be a hard question to answer

<Hecubus> [hdf-us] [evil] krm26 (Inf Ith Fem Una), 785 points, T:666, killed by the Goblin King
<K2> the turn of the devil

_<Hekik> "The rust monster eats a wand of digging! The stone giant zaps a wand of striking! The wand misses the rust monster. What a mess!"
<Hekik> Any idea what generated the "What a mess" message?
<Umbire> Cream pie hit by force bolt
<Hekik> oh, ok
<Hekik> I thought it had something to do with the rust monster
<aosdict> well he probably has cream pie all over him now

<Bluescreen\ddpp> Being strained is good for your strength, they say. :)
<FIQ> stressed is better in that case...
<FIQ> same exercise, less encumbrance
<FIQ> but training strength that way is silly
<Bluescreen\ddpp> Strained is better because you won't have to waste time disarming traps, and can get a unique death from trying to walk around. :D
<FIQ> ?
<Bluescreen\ddpp> If you are strained or greater, you also: lose 1 HP every 30 turns if you are moving. lose 1 HP every 3 turns if you are attacking. cannot disarm traps.
<stth> i play to ascend, not to die

< Mortuis> the RNG is racist against humans
< Corwinoid> Why?
< Rodney> Because the RNG hates you, that's why!

<mobileuser> heh even shocking spheres leave blood
<cbus> blood is shocking so that makes sense

<Hecubus> [hdf-eu] [evil] rebatela (Mon Elf Mal Cha), 83719 points, T:25622, killed by a queen ant
<mobileuser> urgh :-(
<mobileuser> queen ants bite so hard
<rebatela> they hit really hard
<rebatela> i knew that. just dumb mistake
<rebatela> at least i have a towel now!
<mobileuser> cons: dead. pros: towel

<Wooble> this first time I started playing seriously was on a friday the 13th. I thought "You were unlucky. You are dead" was what the game always says when you die. :)

<krm26> YANI: Rubbing a cursed magic lamp should give you a pacified demon prince
<aosdict> that implies that the demon prince is trapped in the lamp though
<krm26> Don't judge
<krm26> Or if you read a cursed magic lamp it has the name of a demon prince on it and rubbing it summons them by name -- there you go, backstory
<amateurhour> readable hawaiian magic lamps when?
