<cbus> ^ what that breaks illiteracy?
<cbus> what is a candy bar wrapper?
<cbus> eating a candy bar doesnt do it
<cbus> ahh you can read it
<cbus> The wrapper reads: "Apollo".
<amateurhour> Apollogies for breaking your conduct - best regards

<NetSysFire> how do you call it when a nymph steals a zen monks quest artifact? she robbed him blind.

<ChrisE> Lost bags of holding by putting one in another...
<ChrisE> But it looks like there may only have been 1 other item (plus the 2 bags themselves) lost...
<ChrisE> So possibly an overreaction.
<ChrisE> Though I'm not 100% sure whether we would see in the dumplog if other items were put in the bag first as part of the same command.
<anselmus> As you put an uncursed bag called holding DONT PUT CANCEL WAND IN HERE FUCK inside, you are blasted by a magical explosion!
<anselmus> the instructions seem clear enough
<ChrisE> And indeed they didn't put a wand of cancellation in it. :D

<qt> i think a thrown item stops on a monsters square even if it misses them
<qt> maybe i'm wrong about that or it is only true of certain thrown items?
<qt> i think it's true of all thrown objects actually
<aosdict> qt: it does not apply to *monster* thrown items
<aosdict> for some reason
<aosdict> the tech is there but the player doesn't get to have it
<qt> maybe some D&D thing? in D&D of the time maybe you have to aim at a specific target, and if it misses it won't hit another guy?
<aosdict> why can't I fire arrows at the captain in back of all the soldiers then
<qt> they sent you to the dungeons of doom because you are the most nearsighted archer they have
<qt> and they wanted to get rid of you
<aosdict> oh, *that's* what "heralded from birth as the instrument of my deity" meant

<mobileuser> "The poisoned dart poisons you.  The dart was poisoned!"
<mobileuser> I would say more:
<mobileuser> I think it was poisoned
<aosdict> are we *sure* the dart was poisoned?
<mobileuser> not sure, the message was a bit ambiguous
<K2> i think it was poisoned
<K2> not sure

<NetSysFire> how do you call a partisan with slurs written all over it?
<NetSysFire> a vulgar polearm

<malor> I am curious as to whether Tariru will come back and play a few. I'm above his active 27 streak, but well below his all time 61, so he probably won't bother. But it would be neat if he came over to show Shadow Rider who the real King of the World will always be 🙂
<Demo> 2025. 7 new variants. tariru will streak ascend them all + current ones (minus a couple that got dropped) all in the month of June
<amateurhour> 2025: 3.7 still in development, brevishack-hdf still not released, slashthem still not merged the open PRs
<amateurhour> but someone made NetZack (ZAPM clone implemented in 3.7)

<hackemslashem> Anyone have experience building evil on windows?
<hackemslashem> I'm trying to build in Windows 10 and getting "'test' is not recognized as an internal or external command"
<hackemslashem> I suspect it's a QT thing, which I have not installed
<hackemslashem> omg, qt 5 requires 68.5GB of free space to install, which I am a bit short of
<hackemslashem> Hope I can trim that down a bit... jeesh
<qt> all i require to install is a small closet and a few crusts of bread each day

<K2> The giant eel is fooled by water reflections and misses!
<K2> ^ me underwater being attacked by a giant eel
<K2> should a monster in its natural element really be fooled by water refraction?
<K2> 'reflections' is the wrong term to use here
<Pinkbeast> So you'd like a reflection retraction, to retroactively use "refractions" or "reflections" when under or over water, respectively.
