/vr/ - Retro Games

Repeatedly using a pet to steal from a shop keeper and then selling his shit back to him in Nethack.

Nethack is really comfy.

How do I get good at NetHack? I feel like I'm dying without any real progress every time I play it.

Should have just stopped at game mechanics. Plot is by far the most expendable element of a game.

fuck

Imagine that you are outside and find a smooth stick. You, just playing around, pick it up and say "Zap!" Next thing you know, you have a handful of dust and there is a booming voice from the sky saying "You wrest one last charge from the worn out wand! The wand of wishing crumbles to dust! For what do you wish?"

Assume the following:
-It was not Friday the 13th when you got the wish, so your luck was at least zero.
-You are a level 1 character. Your class is indeterminate, but Tourist seems most plausible unless you fit one of the other classes (e.g. Archaeologist or Healer).
-You are (as far as you know) the only person to be getting a wish or finding Nethack items, and you don't expect to find any more.

I've always known Nethack to be ascii. I guess maybe the newer implementations have tilesets?

If you could post what version of nethack you're playing on what OS that would probably help a bunch.
