im going to fail cs

>ywn amulet of change irl

Pew pew pew!

>someone saved my picture

>steals your girl

i have this feel a lot
it is a good feel

Holy fuck, monomolecular blade + dragon kung fu is retardedly strong.

would you play a casual roguelike you can play with a gamepad and lots of texts?

Yes but only if that picture on the right is a paper doll that changes clothes as I change the character's clothes in-game.

I guess I could do that, is like the cutscene screen.

>page 10

4TH WIN HYPE

*SPLAT*

>hiding your name

makes me feel real good that for actual decades i haven't been able to figure out how to use IRC

And I didn't even tab this time!

Nigga it's just a chat application.
Like, just install it and go.
Like, just read a guide nigga.
Damn.

I would.

Also do this

whats your secret

>generate new world
>spawn in
well this will be interesting

i would but i feel like i have to perpetuate my confusion. its been so long its almost a tradition now

A need to git gud and avenge my last mage who died on Zot 5 because I was a fucking scrub

Never seen this just sitting in a random parking lot

>bass-heavy post-glam speed polka
the fuck does that sound like

Speed polka but with lots of bass and glam elements mixed in

lots of amazing vocals and sweet guitar solos

What's that structure complex to the south? Is it the national guard base mod?

RIP in peace

I'm glad it's over. I stopped giving a fuck around D7.

woo boy
did you just tab right into that bigass group?
not even a little attempt to find and use a chokepoint, or to dig one yourself?

I would have been fine if I noticed I had gotten paralysed.

No, user. You can't make any moves while paralysed.

Paralyse doesn't kick in immediately.

you still would've been in the middle of a bigass orc endvault surrounded by warlords and sorcerers and high priests on all sides
corridors are good for you

Not for long because I'd have read a teleport scroll. I was paralysed for several turns before I died.

you wouldn't need to spend a teleport scroll at all if you looked at the giant branch-end-vault full of enemies and decided to lure them out into a 1x1 killhole instead of charging in blindly

>para isn't immediate
Yes, it is. You might be thinking of petrification.

What are you talking about? You can't read a teleport scroll when you're paralysed. You can't do ANYTHING except wait for it to wear off.

what a stupid game, you can't even let yourself be surrounded once in a while. i'm not even talking about paralysis. fortunately i decided not to play this game a second time

You can be surrounded by orcs for the whole game if you know what you're doing.

based beoghposter

>fortunately i decided not to play this game a second time
I was bored of the run not the game. I wanted to play a different combo.

>think purple draconian sounds fun
>never get it

...

what is this

eat your oranges user-chan

no

here comes the airplane
brrrrrrrrr

>reforging actually pays off
And here I was thinking I'd just flushed 500k gold down the drain.

stop!
it has always been my dream to die of scurvy and you are RUINING it for me

oh no the plane is crashing user!
all those passengers will be in trouble if you don't stick your tongue out for an emergency landing!

I'm trying to figure out a way that is the most likely for me to get out of this alive. I already tried a teleport scroll and it made things even worse. I tried hasting and the bees can keep up with me hasted. I have a potion of berserk, haste and a teleport scroll.

I was playing troll chaos knight earlier and got in a situation like this but xom gave me stattue form and saved me

>all those un-id'd pots and scrolls
>on D:9
you are own fault
time to chug some healing and go bearserk

nigga why are you on D:9 and have so many goddamn unidentified scrolls
you should read-ID every stack of 2 or more at the end of every floor

you are in a pretty fucked position right now though -- you tabbed into a big group of enemies while letting them get in between you and the staircase, you waited until 25%hp 0% mana to start thinking about "oh shit maybe i should get out of here", and you've spend 8 floors failing to identify any of the consumables you could potentially use

imo read the tele and then blind quaff some potions hoping for heal wounds
might be better to blind read scrolls for blink/fear but idk how the probabilities stack up

you are kinda low health, and bees are fastish, but the ol' "haste and run to stair case" might work too

I just have a question for you.

How the fuck does that happens?

I think you lost this game on D:8 when you didn't read you 8 scrolls of identify, thus severely diminishing your options in this situation.
Read tele, keep haste up, and chug curing until tele procs. If tele doesn't save you, you would have died anyway.

if he reads tele without healing first, he's dead

Quaff curing. Read teleport again. Keep quaffing curing to live.
You shouldn't have so many unidentified potions and scrolls by now.

Not really.

I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. Maybe I'll just drive past the next mansion. I won't.

Here's my new situation after using my last teleport scroll. Still fucked.

>killer bee, imp, simulacrum, poison, and only 18 HP
I dunno, user...

vintage meme, lad

This is maybe ok. Step adjacent to the centaur so it doesn't shoot you with its bow. Quaff the haste. Start quaffing the potions starting with the stack of 3 then stacks of 2.

Drink haste and loop around NW to the staircase?

all the enemies he teled away from will still be there

>EV: 12

You're so dead it's not even funny.

Just hit the autoexplore key to end your misery. It will, without fail, maneuver your character into a dead end and when you want to walk back out you'll find the exit blocked by outta depth monsters and die.

Yes, autoexplore is a disguised suicide button.

That's why he goes NW instead of NE.Most of them won't be able to keep up, and his ice beast will also be between them.

I've always wanted to make my own roguelike, but I've usually been held up by wondering what to put in it. What's your favourite roguelike feature that you don't see often enough, /rlg/?

I lived.

my benis

Now read that stack of ID so you know what your scrolls and potions are.

misleading

What do you mean? Things pretending to be other things?

kind of, make many unimportant things that looks like important and vice versa

Like PosChengband glyphs.

Waifus.

>noise travels through ~experimental~ z levels
>find a preppers basement in a house, packed with guns and a working car nearby
>my dude is fucked up so I have to shoot the prepper, house is swarmed with zombies
fuck my life

>H-Hey have you guys seen the barracks?
>N-no? Ok. Well uh you all look busy.....s-so I'll leave you to it....h-ha

What are some recipients you can make in Cata? Most towns nearby are packed full of those shadow zombies and some other shit

>casual
No way, fag.

You mean stuff to store liquids? The easiest one is using stomachs from animals, or just forage until you find a bottle or corpses with bottles or a waterskin

For cooking shit too

You can make a rock pot, you just need cooking 1 for the recipe iirc

Could you tell me how to butcher animals? I caught a few racoons and I`m starving.

Stand over the corpse and (B)utcher them.

UI improvements.

Download a new version of the game. This looks like the spawn bug.

Is it time?

>Teleport
>21 hours immediately down the drain

Why do I even bother playing PCB, honestly? And this is the easy variant too.

Indeed, beogther. Pierce the knife ears; race war now. By the altar, or by the axe.

You're trying to maximize the amount of wasted hours per bytes

>grinds 21 hours to get to XL50
>throws it all away by making the capital mistake of teleporting himself rather than teleporting the monsters away

>X banishes you!
Forgot the exact message but you get the picture. I was at full health too.

it's PCB, it's not supposed to be fair

Day of the Axe can't come quickly enough.

Do you ever wonder what happens to the character after they leave the dungeon with the Orb of Zot? As soon as you grab that orb Hell itself wakes up and tries to stop you. Does the Orb give the character ultimate power? Are they getting it to gift to the Gods? Every God from good to evil wants to help you get that orb. It's obviously extremely important and not just any dungeon. Only one being can enter the dungeon too, there's no parties or armies vying for it.

So when your character ascends with the Orb, what are they ascending to?

Glory for Beogh. A world without Elves. A future for Orc children.

I'd imagine it depends on how many runes the player got too. A 3 rune MiBe might make the world a bit more standoffish, while a 15 rune worshipper of Zin could probably paint the whole world silver and make hell freeze over
