<qt> adding underwater _x-ray_ vision is probably like 5 lines of code
<K2> oooh do it
* K2 starts jumping up and down
<aosdict> it is left as an exercise for the K2 to figure out which 5 lines of code

<Hecubus> [hdf-us] [evil] bouquet (Wiz Ith Fem Cha) murdered her faithful gray fungus, on T:61780
<qt> I'm surprised a gray fungus is even capable of being faithful

<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

<aosdict> huh, reading a scroll of light can bless or curse your sunsword or GDSM
<aosdict> that must be recent
<Umbire> Gold DSM?
<aosdict> yeah gold
<Umbire> AuDSM
<aosdict> I nominate "$DSM"
<Umbire> Croesus-approved

<moon-child> ibmgraphics is just knockoff utf8graphics
<Umbire> I you know what, fuck you
* Umbire ibms your graphics
<Muad> ibsgraphics 💩

<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

<K2> instead of chromatic dragon scales primary trinsic being pis res, make it MR
<amateurhour> piss res?
<K2> *poison
<K2> and piss
<amateurhour> oh lol
<K2> yes amateurhour, great idea
<K2> hahah
<amateurhour> that would certainly make the chromatic scales unique
<amateurhour> no other item protects you from it!
<K2> there arent any pee monsters
<K2> prob in slex, but not here
<Umbire> I mean the Tiamat fight is probably a load of pee
<amateurhour> yeah K2 there aren't any pee monsters in evilhack so it'd be harmless to add piss res to chromatic scales
<amateurhour> which gives it a unique reason to be worn
<amateurhour> which solves the problem
<amateurhour> good work team \o/

<qt> lol interesting bug here in xnh
<qt> any attack that "passes harmlessly though" a ghost does 1 damage
<qt> well, maybe not any attack, but many of them
<Umbire> just edit those to remove the harmlessly
<qt> great idea

<raisse> hey prisoner, if you have a cursed potion of gain level, why do you wait until I unlock your door to drink it?
<raisse> you could have freed yourself!

<malor> Is K2 still on vacation?
<Umbire> Believe so
<qt> yeah he said he'd be gone at least ten days six days ago
<malor> Cool just wondering as I miss his banter 🙂
<qt> K2 was a man of great badinage
<qt> I'll always remember him
<qt> not just as an admin, but as a friend
<qt> it's sad that he was mauled by a bison in Yellowstone, but at least he died as he lived: suggesting that horns should be nerfed
