<PetraKelly> so when you get displacement when you eat a displacer beast, it is temp?
<aosdict> yes
<hothraxxa> what happens if you put on unchanging?
<aosdict> you... gain the unchanging extrinsic? is this a trick question
<hothraxxa> no if i get temporary displacement can i keep it by wearing unchanging?
<aosdict> no
<aosdict> unchanging doesn't preserve temporary intrinsics and never has?
<hothraxxa> well it should
<hothraxxa> i demand to speak to the developers
<aosdict> hello
<aosdict> i am developer
<hothraxxa> i want to complain
<hothraxxa> unchanging isn't really unchanging
<aosdict> after deep consideration, the devs respond: "would make it op". [REJECTED]
<hothraxxa> i demand to speak to their managers
<aosdict> well I can refer you to aosdict 5 seconds in the future, who does have executive decision over whatever choices I make now. how about it, aosdict 5 seconds in the future?
<aosdict> no
<hothraxxa> i'm reporting you to the better business bureau
<hothraxxa> AND i'm posting a negative review on yelp
<paxed> fix: make unchanging turn hero into stone instantly.
<hothraxxa> now you're making fun of me. i'm reporting that too
<hothraxxa> paxed, nethack developer. rejected my idea and mocked me. zero stars. would give negative stars if possible. will not share ideas again.

<hothraxxa> i have never heard of an older nethack player than me
<paxed> hothraxxa: 'cause you're deaf?
* hothraxxa whacks paxed with his walker

<musicdemon> figured I'd get stomped by the quest leader and decided to cough the artifact up. I couldn't avoid them, due to the trees
<VaderFLAG> If you stick it in a bag they won't ask for it
<VaderFLAG> Or throw it past them
<musicdemon> D'oh! haha
<musicdemon> will not forget it for next time, though
<K2> wat
<K2> VaderFLAG, what sorcery is this?
<VaderFLAG> Can't return what you don't have!
<VaderFLAG> Who me? no longbow of diana here
<qt> it just postpones completing the quest though, right?
<qt> you'll have to show it to them at some point
<VaderFLAG> Right
<VaderFLAG> Gotta decide eventually
<VaderFLAG> But you can escape with it and go summon up a billion silver arrows
<VaderFLAG> Which is what you really want from diana
<K2> there should be a 'hey lemme search your fanny pack' thing
<qt> "Ho, adventurer! Please submit to a strip search before exiting the quest area"

<bouquet> one more round of elf murder then bed!
<K2> heh
<terrapin> but how will you ever sleep after eating elves?

<aosdict> What do you want to eat? [fuGU or ?*]
<aosdict> ... you know what, maybe I'm not that hungry after all

<terrapin> The spell hits the gnoll! The force of your spell knocks the gnoll back! The gnoll bumps into a gas spore. The spell hits the gas spore! You kill the gas spore! The gnoll is caught in the gas spore's explosion! You kill the gnoll!
<terrapin> worthy of Michael Bay

<bouquet> best shambling horror I ever had was something like lichen+nymph+archon. It sat still, but would stun you and steal your stuff.

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

<aosdict> you could give them to the devteam, but idk I really think the quest system needs to support alternate messages if blind or deaf (or both at once... but that's where it starts to get absurd)
<qt> i agree
<aosdict> like imagine trying to describe entering a locate level or goal level while both blind and deaf. "you arrive on a new level. to your remaining three senses, it seems the same as any other level. ok maybe you smell something"
<aosdict> "some big unidentified guy in front of you is pummeling you. maybe he's the nemesis spitting insults at you, maybe not. who knows"
<qt> lol
<qt> i'd love to hear about the distinct perfumes all the different quest characters wear, though
<aosdict> "you exit the magic portal. something feels wrong here but good luck trying to figure out what. where is this again?"
<qt> i could handle it if my quest leader is replaced with anne sullivan

<bhaak> qt: so you didn't specify yesterday if you want or not want to be credited for the current bug only or potentially any further bugs or none at all ... {-:
<qt> use entrez
<qt> there, i've learned my lesson
<qt> i have the same problem when someone says "where should we go to dinner"
<bhaak> exactly because there is no money involved, the least one can do is credit somebody with some bits. if they want to :)
<qt> there's no money involved? i'm outta here
