< HanClinto> lol. I would like to see a Nethack movie. Just like a horror movie, where there are 87 characters and they *all die* in unique and horrible deaths.

<@K2> rock troll had a wand of poly
<@K2> had to drop all my stuff
<@K2> couldnt move out of the way in time, next zap got all my stuff
<elenmirie> you can't even cope with your own evilness, mate
<elenmirie> nearly as funny as watching Amy run into her own interface screws
<@K2> no
<@K2> you cant even compare evilhack to slex
<elenmirie> I agree, you cannot
<elenmirie> but it was still nearly (NEARLY!) as funny

<qt> krm26: i think water walking isn't implemented for monsters
<K2> qt it is
<K2> but i believe the logic is: if there's a dry patch they can use, they'll use it
<K2> otherwise pretend we're jesus
<qt> hmm I just tried it in wizmode and couldn't get a monster to cross a moat
<K2> really
<qt> i tried it with them tame and with them attacking me
<qt> they were on one side, I was on the other
<qt> but they just sat there pacing back and forth
<K2> i wonder if i broke something
<K2> probably
<qt> maybe he was screwing up his resolve to walk on the water
<qt> I can do this.... I can do this... the boots will work...

<hothraxxa> *facepalm*
<tinklebear> what? hothraxxa, it's dangerous out there!
<hothraxxa> i'm sure it's a really nice knife
<aosdict> it's dangerous to go alone, take this! *hands over 3 inch knife*

<Beholder> [hdf-eu] [nh343] elenmirie (Bar Hum Mal Neu) had a morning star named Trollsbane bestowed upon him by Crom, on T:32590
<raisse> what is Crom thinking? 3.4.3 Trollsbane is useless
<aosdict> maybe crom just thinks the troll infestation in the dungeon has gotten out of hand
<Merlek_> Name a single troll who would agree with you!
<Beholder> [hdf-au] [slshm] Arahael (Mon Dop Fem Neu), 20004 points, T:4118, killed by a troll
<Arahael> aosdict: Speaking of trolls, I do agree, the infestion has indeed gone out of hand.

<rebatela> k2: is there shame involved in startscumming? I will race all these mf'ers if i can start with a marker... i just don't want to put a black mark on your clan
<amateurhour> I don't think there's any shame in start scumming
<Shadow_Rider> I think the website says start scum is well within rules
<rebatela> oh i know it's within the rules
<arahael> rebatela: Some of us might shame you anyway ;) But seriously, start scumming and going for turncounts is pretty cool.
<Demo> if u try and shame me for start scumming I will laugh at you
<Demo> it would be like shaming Stalin for leaving the toilet seat up

<LarienTelrunya> SHIT, put all of my wands in the bag of holding and the one called "most probably create monster" turned out not to be create monster after all and now I no longer have a bag of holding :(
<kritixilithos> didn't you engrave-test?
<LarienTelrunya> no, I just assumed that it was going to be create monster, which was obviously not the best idea

<Furey> TIL do not stand next to my quest leader while reading a new spellbook
<Furey> You begin to memorize the runes. "Furey! Welcome back. How goes your quest to recover the Amulet for Anu?" "Furey! Welcome back. How goes your quest to recover the Amulet for Anu?" "Furey! Welcome back. How goes your quest to recover the Amulet for Anu?" "Furey! Welcome back. How goes your quest to recover the Amulet for Anu?" "Furey! Welcome back. How goes your quest to recover the Amulet for Anu?" "Furey! Welcome back. How goes your quest to recover the Amulet for Anu?" You add the "cure sickness" spell to your repertoire. "Furey! Welcome back. How goes your quest to recover the Amulet for Anu?"

<Andrio> Fun with a fog cloud: I found one in a shop earlier today
<Andrio> I realised too late what I should have done was pick up the shop's entire inventory and hide it in the cloud.
<Andrio> Then sell things and hide them in the cloud too.
<Wooble> Andrio: does that actually work?
<stennowork> its called 'the amazon strat' - steal things and hide them in the cloud

<microlance> left one hell of a bones file there i believe
<microlance> dead priest and a silver dragon
<Sig> Why did you keep taking the pills?
<microlance> because i thought there would be something positive to them

<Pacra> @K2 I've got a fun bug for you
<Pacra> unless it's a feature, not a bug
<Pacra> "You arrive on the Astral Plane! Here the High Temple of Tymora is located. You sense alarm, hostility, and excitement in the air! A voice whispers: "Worthy vassal, know now thy true identity! Behold thy steed, the Red Horse!" The Red Horse appears near you. The saddled Red Horse is confused from hunger. The saddled Red Horse starves."
<K2> lol wut
<Pacra> rip red horse
<Pacra> do not pass go, do not collect 200 saddles
<Pacra> maybe Tymora thought I was Famine, not War :P

<aosdict> YANI: Ghosts have a reusable attack which scares you to death and paralyzes you. Maybe turn their physical touch attack into a paralyze attack.
<oh6> I dunno, you shouldn't ought to get freaked out over and over again by a ghost

<Andrio> Should I do Sokoban or should I not?
<aosdict> To sokoban, or not to sokoban... that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the tricks and turns of outrageous puzzles, Or to take picks against a sea of boulders, And by applying end them?
 
#3116 (5) X July 29, 2020
<NeilH90> God dammit then I find a lock pick in the next room
<NeilH90> I just broke my katana trying to force a lock
<jonadab> Don't force locks with your good weapon. Use a junk dagger.
<jonadab> There are plenty of orcish daggers laying around. Grab one of those (that's not cursed), #name it Locksbane, and Bob is your uncle.
<NeilH90> My junk dagger broke first XD
<jonadab> Ah, but a junk dagger can be replaced.
<NeilH90> Aha true
<NeilH90> I was feelin lucky. Lesson learned
<aosdict> Artifacts have a lower chance of breaking like that, but really that's just a trap to set you up for greater disappointment when your Excalibur splinters
<NeilH90> Ouch I bet
<Tone> Finally a use for Sting

<amateurhour> I wish there was a handsome and brave and charming devteam member that would add a sane autoexplore command
* amateurhour slides over 1 zorkmid
<amateurhour> for there to be a sane one in my eye it'd just need to make us walk into the first unexplored square
<amateurhour> and we could just repeat it with ^A
<aoei> amateurhour: you know bhaak's swiss right
<aoei> he's not gonna get out of bed for less than 3 zorkmids
<luxidream> I wish there was a handsome and brave and charming devteam member that would remove secret doors
<aoei> lol
<aoei> i wish there was a handsome, brave, charming and heroic devteam member that would remove instant death from poison
<aoei> actually i think last time i asked him that he just said play un lol
<amateurhour> xnh removed that too
<aoei> nice
<bhaak> you all know where you can get those features
<aoei> bhaak: port them to vanilla :c
<aoei> strong-arm the other devteam members
<aoei> blackmail them
<aoei> whatever you have to do

<luxidream> bouquet where are you :(
<aoei> :(
* AntiGulp reads a scroll of create bouquet
<amateurhour> that would be a fun addition to splicehack
<amateurhour> creates flowers
<luxidream> for no gameplay effect?
<amateurhour> you can give them to your quest leader to charm them into letting you into the quest early
<amateurhour> e z
<AntiGulp> that sounds like splice
<amateurhour> for no gameplay effect works too
<amateurhour> :P
<amateurhour> junethack trophy: collect every type of flower
<nabru> you can seduce foocubi with flowers!
<luxidream> create an elaborate relationship building system
<luxidream> it has no gameplay effect whatsoever, just changes chat messages
<AntiGulp> See, now halfheartedly implementing a massive relationship system sounds like Splice
<AntiGulp> It's just like what I did with cooking and dialogue
<amateurhour> befriend the captain of the watch and convince them to look the other way
<nabru> befriend your quest nemesis

<{Demo}4> you're going into slex with a way wrong mindset
<rebatela> This is my fear/problem. I like the game and think all the crazy items and monsters and stuff are SO cool!! BUT if i get emotionally invested in the slightest, it's just going to be frustrating dying constantly
<@riker> slex is most fun sleep deprived
<amateurhour> what's the right mindset then {Demo}4 ?
<rebatela> riker: i was thinking maybe on acid
<{Demo}4> the developer is literally batshit insane and has no fucking idea how to balance shit or make shit fun, so it's an unholy clusterfuck, which you can attempt to navigate at your own risk. this is super appealing to some people

<picaresquieu> I'm not polymorphed, my alignment record is perfectly fine, and yet both the quest artifact and Stormy are blasting me every single time
<picaresquieu> I haven't checked my alignment record because no wand of enlightenment and my potion is all the way on the other side of the dungeon
<Tangles> picaresquieu: you can check with a stethoscope also.
<picaresquieu> Good call
<picaresquieu> Insufficiently chaotic, when did that happen?

#4071 (25) X December 24, 2022
<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

< cmtptr> I guess they don't have a generic "closed" state in their bug tracker
< Wooble> cmtptr: "fixed" "Fixed" "fIxed" and "fiXed" will eventually all mean different things.
< cmtptr> Wooble, of course, the first means "tiger, manes, grid bug, floating eye, coyote" while the last one means "housecat, tengu, xorn, flaming sphere, dingo"
< Wooble> cmtptr: ooh, maybe they can just color-code the letters in the bug tracker to indicate different levels of fixing by monster type.
*hothraxxa genocides all red Ls in bug-tracker
< cmtptr> sounds like a solid plan to me
< hothraxxa> maybe i should have gone for purple
< Wooble> if the x is a grid bug, it means it was a bug fix, and if it's a xan, it means it was a feature but a devteam member hurt their leg while coding it.

<bouquet> yay
<bouquet> strangly easy game despite the painful lack of good scrolls and potions.
<K2> what was easy about it
<bouquet> for one, rodney didn't show up an obnoxious times and he never had MR so I could wand of death him to death
<amateurhour> this is ur team whinge union representative speaking: do not say anything that could lead to the game being made more difficult

<rikersan> lol
<rikersan> do you really like ranged attacks or smth
<rikersan> or is it because of things like that sessile passive death monster >_>
<LarienTelrunya> well I can reach legendary bow skill with this char, so I'm mainly using a bow
<LarienTelrunya> but now it's time to get close and personal (read: I shot all my arrows away and cannot get at the ones in my bag due to lack of hands, so I need to melee stuff in the room where all my arrows are)

<aosdict> hostile buyout by andrew lee
<aosdict> K2 can't say no to the millions of cold hard cash
<nabru> think of it as "funding nethack development"
<aosdict> we've been assured there will be no operational changes of any sort associated with mr. lee's sale, this is all just paperwork needed to host HardfoughtCon
<cathartes> if he funds NetHack, he might demand to appear in the game.
