<Announcy> NetHack GitHub Commits: be consistent for all patforms in fixes3-7-0.txt https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/commit/8b89917edec2748ccbe6d74bba5c6b45c813a9ef
<qt> how many forms does Pat have, exactly?
<nabru> many
<nabru> too many for mortals to comprehend
<nabru> the last human who tried to comprehend them went mad
<qt> that's about what I expected

<Furey> I leave bell book and candelabrum with my quest leader and tell them they can send someone else to get amulet next time
<Furey> Somehow, it never works, they call me in again and again :)

<petra_the_kat> this wand "glows, then fades" when i engraved w/ it
<petra_the_kat> and did not auto-ID
<petra_the_kat> any idea?
<ChrisS67> if there's no message on engrave, zap at self
<petra_the_kat> my lichen corpse came to life
<cbus> undead turning
<petra_the_kat> ah there
<petra_the_kat> ... why did the lichen corpse come to life
<ChrisS67> because that's what undead turning does
<petra_the_kat> OH
<petra_the_kat> ...
<petra_the_kat> UNTURN DEAD
<petra_the_kat> i hate this stupid game klhgdlkjfhgdkjfg

<cbus> what is "the deal" with halflings?
<cbus> (I assume hlf means halfling)
<cbus> tried to find on wiki but I think I am blind because I couldnt find anything :)
<Demo> half dragon
<cbus> ohh
<Demo> if u are afraid to infringe on tolkien's IP in a nethack variant, lol
<qt> Demo: i am an undercover lawyer from the tolkien estate. put down your variant slowly and come with me, we have snipers covering all the exits so don't think about running

<jetjaguar> why are 12 people watching Arsenicum?
<jetjaguar> is he a streamer or something?
<Wooble> no idea, but also if he's a streamer wouldn't they just watch his stream? :)
<crunchbubba> he's Arseniy here, and a good player. and I have noted here previously that names at the top of the alphabetical list get all the views. He says it's (damn near) his actual name
<crunchbubba> pro tip: if you want to go under the radar, pick a dull name near the end of the alphabet
<cbus> and add a couple of numbers
<cbus> also make sure to run some obscenely large terminal size
<crunchbubba> ha
<crunchbubba> I hadn't thought of that
<Wooble> and here I thought no one watched me because my play style was so boring, not because I picked a username starting with W

<mobileuser> You experience a sense of peace.  You feel foolish!
<K2> ignorance is bliss

<Hecubus> [hdf-us] [evil] tinklebear (Kni Hum Fem Law), 6841 points, T:4670, killed by an invisible troll
<tinklebear> I blinded it, beat a drum, etc. I want my quarter back
<tinklebear> Oh, wait.
<tinklebear> My accountant informs me that I have inserted no quarters
<tinklebear> ever

<NetSysFire> mindflayer software inc. - making software that sucks

<arahael> YANI: As a QoL improvement, gifts from your god should come already BUC'ed, especially if they fall onto the altar in the process.
<qt> the "falling on the altar" thing might introduces some odd inconsistencies, since other things falling on an altar (e.g. from dead monsters) don't get BUC-identified
<aosdict> they don't fall on the altar, they appear at your feet
<qt> (and for good reason since that'd make atheist play a lot harder)
<aosdict> and before some smart guy says "well if you're levitating", you can't sac when levitating
<qt> holy cow
<qt> you have all the answers
<aosdict> ... a holy cow might be a good thing to sacrifice too.

<tinklebear> I have to say: I would find the zombie problem less tedious if it were associated with relatively more intriguing solutions
<tinklebear> as it stands, locking them in a box just feels, like a inside-joke that gets old fast
<NetSysFire> locking them inside a box is a literal inside joke
<tinklebear> funny
<tinklebear> I find it gets old.
<NetSysFire> like the corpses
<tinklebear> I can feel my appreciation of this rotten old joke starting to revive, NetSysFire. But it stinks, I tell you. It stinks!
<NetSysFire> You smell a peculiar odor...
<tinklebear> that's just... a puff of logic. The dog did it.
