ku klux kobolds

incidentally, i just beat the very basic mode in One Way Heroics today, after barely failing it last night
i was the first person to register a win in dimension H735EBYQ

I suck at Roguelikes but I love to cuddle with Byakuren while she plays them. ^_^

does she like to cuddle with you when you shmup it up?

glennmagusharvey · 2014-04-28 04:18:52

I've gotten a few negative scores in OWH just now.

Started playing the Adventurer class.
It turns out I can't just run up and kill things anymore. Who'd have thunk.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-04-28 04:24:34

DungeonCrawl is on the whole much less stupidly unfair than a lot of other roguelikes, but sometimes silly things still happen in it.

glennmagusharvey · 2014-04-28 04:26:04

For some reason, I don't like to save in OWH. It feels scummy, despite it being a thing built into the game (and even with the game's limits on your ability to save).

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-04-28 08:42:19

does she like to cuddle with you when you shmup it up?

Only when we are doing a co-op game. ^_^

In DCSS I now manage to reach the lair and orc without much problem. I do however always use a dark elf conjurer.

Buttwangs · 2014-05-25 13:34:05

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

(I actually managed to get out)

That unique monster casted Banishment on me D:<

She still walking around along with another unique humanoid spider. I don't know how to get rid of them, Iron bolt doesn't seem to do much

Klinotaxis · 2014-05-25 13:50:07

Buttwangs · 2014-05-25 13:52:14

I like bondage so much that *I* became Ashenkazi!~

I've been running a whole bunch of Draconian Conjurers

And I've been getting run through a gauntlet of Ghosts and Uniques that tend to destroy my characters

Buttwangs · 2014-07-10 17:30:59

I think my most common picks are Demonspawn Wizards, Gargoyle Earth Elementalist and Octopod Conjurer. Most of them get slaughtered in the Lair.

Bunny · 2014-07-11 11:43:29

I just had the worst death. It was around dungeon level 6-7. I had become a follower of Sif Muna, killed multiple uniques, and was just coming back from the sewers, which had randomly spawned.

Then, I saw a player ghost. It wasn't super high level, so I was just going to pelt it with IMB and destroy it, figuring I could just use a scroll of teleport if things got too hairy.

After I hit it once, it immediately confused me and killed me in 3 hits.

Urgh.

Buttwangs · 2014-07-11 12:36:42

I hate when that happens...

The first time I went in Shoal I ended up getting put to sleep while I was auto exploring, I couldn't do anything about it....

Buttwangs · 2014-07-11 13:04:27

...Did I just didn't found a scroll of identify until D:6 wtf

Mandelbrot · 2014-07-11 14:20:12

one time while I was playing Nethack I discovered you could break down doors by kickin them so I did that to a bunch of doors, until I found one that wouldn't go down so I kicked it until I died

I don't play Nethack anymore

Salix Babylonika · 2014-07-11 16:59:55

Nethack is a stupid game.

Funny, but stupid.

Buttwangs · 2014-07-11 17:31:09

okay

Buttwangs · 2014-07-11 17:51:28

Explored up to D:14 and still can't find Orc

what

Buttwangs · 2014-07-11 18:14:07

NetHack

Buttwangs · 2014-07-11 18:18:55

My favorite artifact name so far: "+3,+3 flail of Capital Punishment (weapon) {elec, +Rage +Fly rPois rN+}"

Klinotaxis · 2014-07-11 18:19:13

the amount of memorization in nethack is kinda dumb. but i still play it. and i have also broken my leg by kicking doors.

what's a good other roguelike to do. something free. i've tried adom but it's scary and the readme is a word document? life's too short

Bunny · 2014-07-11 18:27:21

Dungeon crawl stone soup is my go-to recommendation, because it's pretty accessible and isn't super luck dependent. While still being very hard and roguelikey.

Buttwangs · 2014-07-11 18:28:08

DungeonCrawl StoneSoup has a fair bit less memorization than NetHack, and imo, is more fun.

can I talk about Nuclear Throne here? That's like sort of a roguelike.

Calica · 2014-07-11 20:07:07

Nuclear Throne is a thing I'll probably buy as soon as it exits the whole Early Access public development thing, since I know there's a good chance I'll lose interest in it once I reach my (low) skill ceiling the way I do with most games, and I'd rather do so with a finished game; not to mention that they'll price drop.

Klinotaxis · 2014-07-11 20:14:52

well i was considering mentioning ftl and teleglitch, so like, whatever.

Calica · 2014-07-11 20:18:42

i've gone back to sucking at isaac recently though. that's fun, even if I don't quite understand how the tears bend

Salix Babylonika · 2014-07-11 20:25:48

Isaac tears shouldn't be bending unless you're whipping your shots.

If that's what you mean, they just move in the direction you're going. So if you're at the bottom of the screen and shoot up while moving left, they'll go up and to the left.

Calica · 2014-07-11 20:33:25

I'm pretty sure I've held down the button while not moving and the tears still don't all go in the same direction, some of them go off to the left or the right

Salix Babylonika · 2014-07-11 20:35:52

Did you have Spoonbender at the time?

Cuz otherwise I don't think that can happen except from like, residual momentum.

I think Cain's tears also don't fire perfectly straight, but I might be wrong.

Calica · 2014-07-11 20:44:08

okay, I tried it out and the tears go alternately from Isaac's left and right eye, I think that's what was tripping me up

Buttwangs · 2014-07-11 21:02:43

I want to try Nuclear Throne at some point, also Risk of Rain and Magicite. Although I kinda want to get them not on Steam.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-07-11 21:04:25

Magicite is good. Nuclear Throne and Risk of Rain are really good. I recommend all three. Make sure RoR can run on your computer though, an update a few months ago gave it a huge lag problem for some reason.
