<elenmirie> okay, so this prisoner was locked in his cell with a skeleton key
<elenmirie> they're not all mental giants, are they?
<krm26> -40ac magic resistant reflecting priest npc riding a vorpal jabberwock is Not Good
<krm26> in fact
<krm26> i think
<krm26> worst ever
<post163> Splice is my favorite variant due to the dragon rider - that's definitely my favorite non-vanilla role.
<antigulp> :)
<antigulp> Dragon rider is a good role and I stand by it.
<aosdict> @antigulp you're forgetting that post163 only likes dragon rider because it presents an exciting new steed to fall off and die on turn 1
<antigulp> I believe in catering to a multitude of playstyles
<hackemslashem> I'm working on moving all the rivers and sewage down to another more evil set of mines later in the dungeon
<Moult> You enter the Evil Gnomish Mines
<Moult> every monster has Evil prefixed to their name
<hackemslashem> The invisible items mechanic could use some more tweaking, but I kinda like it, even if it's really niche
<hackemslashem> Sounds like a PITA ass to implement though, definitely at the bottom of my list right now
<aosdict> pain in the ass ass?
<hackemslashem> haha yes
<qt> pita ass
<qt> take a pita, cut it in half, put fillings in, put the two halves side by side so they look like buttcheeks
<qt> it's my own invention
<qt> but it's a PITA ass to eat because the pitas are upside down so the fillings fall out when you try to pick them up
<NetSysFire> yasi: "Blecch! Rotten food! The world spins and goes dark. You are conscious again. You find yourself at the bottom of the stairs." when you faint on the stairs

<Umbire> Case in point
<Moult[m]> Something is engraved here on the headstone.
<Moult[m]> You read: "Do not open until Christmas".
<Moult[m]> so if i dig the grave tomorrow what do i get
<qt> splicehack is no longer being developed?
<antigulp> I'm taking a break from it, at the very least. I'm very burnt out on splice, especially because there's so much technical debt due to me throwing good coding practice and C coding style to the wind.
<antigulp> Plus, I'm building my own curses-based RL from scratch, and that's captured my imagination pretty hard.
<aosdict> darn, where am I going to send my ideas for monsters/objects/artifacts that are too out there for xnh or evilhack
<aosdict> please implement red lights whose explosion paralyzes you, and green lights whose explosion gives you a speed boost plzkthnx
<paxed> shouldn't those be blue lights, not green?
<aosdict> well if you prefer physics over traffic
<hackemslashem> Blue lights give you a major discount at christmas
<hackemslashem> Which variant has the crumbling altars? grunt?
<antigulp> Splice had them at one point. Everyone complained.
<Shadow_Rider> crumbling?
<qt> they were made of gingerbread
<dustsquid> You know you've been playing nethack too much when you see a statue in a park and wonder if he had anything good when he was stoned
