first for the one true movement control scheme

Numpad is universal and comfy.

numpad is anticomfy if you want to also press buttons on the right half of the keyboard like i or o

Who else is a hoarder here?

Hi
Last night I dreamed of the cargo dimension again

Honestly I suspect this is a bug but it's so stupidly cheesy I love it.

What bug? What cheese?

>What bug?
You can 'f'ire spears while driving without having to let go of the controls first (which would leave you unable to steer). No other melee weapon works like this. You can use this to drive circles around something and poke it to death while it can't do anything in return.

CDDA mutation stacking question bump from last thread.

Looking at wiki, Beak cancels Mouth Tentacles but Mouth Tentacles doesn't cancel Beak. If I first get Beak can I later develop Mouth Flaps -> Mouth Tentacles? Or does "cancel" in this case mean it locks them out for good? What about other such cases?

Oh really
Im so used to letting go of the controls to hit stuff that I wouldnt have realized

I know what my next character is going to be...

roguelikes will make you gay

If that makes you feel better about being gay ok

It's not gay if you pretend that the amulet of gender change turns you into a girl.

that's literally what it does though
it doesn't do anything else

this could totally be a thing irl if you made bike stirrups (the ability to control a bike with your feet).

If you only need one hand for the lance then it's not a problem because one hand is for brakes anyway.

Havent played crawl for like 9months, how bad is the game now?

i love u rlg!!!!

hellcrawl is good
gooncrawl might be too but i haven't played it

It's been an annoying ritual with no challenge beyond the fact that you're likely to make a mistake due to boredom for about 15 years now.

As for actual jousting goes, the lance is pretty much just a big fucking spike that's in solid contact with the breastplate to spread the force of the blow evenly across the wielder's body. So not exactly possible to drive in circles while poking to the side but a hit and run skewering strategy could work. The hand holding the lance is mostly for aiming the point of the lance which could maybe allow the user to simultaneously use bike's controls or maybe the lance could be mounted onto a small rail on the handlebar.

>bike spear a spider nest
>dismount to harvest their loot
>fall in a pit and lose half my hp
New plan: don't do that again

>teleports to dlvl1 with your amulet
heh nothin personal adventurer

So what anime has the most roguelike setting? Is it DanMachi or Grimgar?

i don't know what grimgar is but danmachi isn't particularly Like Rogue beyond just normal rpg dungeon diving stuff

It's been in awhile since I watched either. The big theme in Grimgar is permadeath. In the fights there was a heavy focus on tactics. They used kiting to deal with monsters and when kiting didn't work or something went wrong is when it got tense.

I liked both shows but Grimgar is better than DanMachi too.

>another thread lived to old age
We're all gonna make it.

9mm LMAO

good night, rlg-chan
please be daijoubu

Well, that went better than I expected.

That big bang canister made with dynamite sure trivializes almost everything. I'll probably be able to kill the spider mastermind.

Oh my god just sleep it off already what is your problem

Man, you can't play PK without radiogenic.
Slept a couple days and I'm right as rain after being more irradiated than spending a couple days inside a nuclear reactor

wtf is this lifting tool in cata? never saw this bullshit anywhere

Also
>removes battery
>car alarm doesn`t stop
thanks obongo

new bullshit
I'm glad I don't have to deal with it

>triffid queen sticks trees under my car so I can't move it
>can't cut them
>car I spent a year and a half builing is essentially dead

Man this shit gets really boring really fast.
There's no way to really improve DDA as a game, you have to love roleplaying.

youtu.be/1EgNZ6dL0s8

>There's no way to really improve DDA as a game
You could, but you'd have to speed up the pacing by quite a lot and then it loses the sort of long term survival thing (when it's not so tedious that nobody would even bother to begin with) that it's trying to go for
Maybe someone should go at it with the idea that you should be able to finish a "run" in the same time as other roguelikes rather than being an open ended sandbox that needs to stretch things out

Yeah it could be like factorio. Very open sandbox, but with a goal. How you reach that it`s up to you, don`t want to reach out and just be autistic? ok. Idk, stopping the cataclysm somehow.

Cancer.

Where is the version of this game with the porn? I require it for experimental purposes.

the whole game is gay.
most (all) mods are beastiality faggotry. Im not even kidding look at the developers... srsly look.

So it's mods? Where might I find these? In the pasta?

That ascension mod that was posted before had an interesting idea, collecting doohickies from the strongest creatures around the place and then using them in some ritual in order to win. I don't know exactly how that's done since I haven't played through it yet, but it seems like there's potential for open ended problem solving that makes it a good objective.
Since you'd want other options, a science/engineering path where you somehow make an anti-cataclysm fuckery device might work, perhaps just accepting that everything is fucked and work with a faction to make them dominant enough to survive the cataclysm world.
But, the devs seem content with making it an autismal roleplaying sim rather than a game to win

Dont know, i mean i do but i really dont give a fuck. You are honestly better without them.

I tried the mod, its a compilation of other mods with some horsefucker adding simple ending. I see it as a joke really.

>ascension
a pathetic atempt at best. its very unoriginal.

...

I'd play a series of short randomized scenarios with clear goal in sight. Some cross between DCSS sprints and Left 4 Dead campaigns.
Hoped that the defense mode would grow up to be something like that, but instead defense mode was abandoned and doesn't even properly work anymore.

*yiffs you*

owo

Reminder that video games are objectively shameful trash and roguelikes are the worst.

>slay elves and men
Ive never seen this artifact before I think
Are there even any elves in Sil?

>Are there even any elves in Sil?
Not yet.

hey you
fuck you roguelikes are cool

what game is that?

You are own fault, bitchbaby.

I've always thought they were awwright.

For the record, triffid queens aren't the triffid boss. They're an ancient whales-era relic that hardcodedly edits the terrain around itself, usually creating a ton of bugs in the process. There can be several of them around a triffid grove.

Well there's the PC. Can monsters use items in sil?

They can pick up and carry items but not use them

tangledepp!

Will this shit generate any energy at all (and store it on the battery)? I know that panel is battered but I just want to know if it will work at all.

>take first mutagen of the game
>become a bird
I thought you had to take a ton of this stuff, how did this happen?

It should.

Attached: when you accidentally the bird.png (747x380, 59K)

starting traits count towards thresholds
fleet-footed definitely counts for bird and some of your other traits probably do too

It certainly will. Put casters on it, and maybe a larger storage battery, and you've got yourself a nice passive generator.

I finally got a 15 rune win, am I a big boy now?

congrats, user! What was your dude?

Gargoyle Fighter
I'm a boring faggot so I took Okawaru and later switched to TSO.

traditional, yet effective. Can't complain about that. Whats the most youve gotten with a caster?

>Whats the most youve gotten with a caster?
I almost cleared hell with a gnoll, but then I got fucked because I forgot Eresh had silence. Most of my casters die before getting a single rune.

Yay, come back to my xnethack game that was parked on medusa and the dev had broken saves, causing my promising game to be erased on loading. Let's play sane variants instead, like Nethack Fourk, where piranhas somehow deal double damage compared to vanilla and will fuck you up because they can spawn in random pools everywhere.

Why would you play a samurai when you could play a tourist?

I refuse to play anything other than the samurai in non-slex variants.

What is your second favorite variant?

DNethack. And then Grunthack and Nethack Fourk.

>fish being in water
LOL what a meme.

>armored zombie spawns in the loot room and kills all the robutts
Has anyone tried making a zlave out of these guys? I've literally never done it ever, but if it keeps all the armor it might have uses.

every time i tried to make a zslave the game keeps telling me the body is wrong or something like that,

I hate fucking serpents and unrelenting horrors in the throne room

Is it genuinely looked down upon if you do a MuMo run in 0.21?

No

Clearly, what every variant developer should do is make sure you don't get a wand of wishing. (I'm not kidding. Only the original castle level has it, the other castle levels in Fourk... don't.)

Attached: no castle.png (1146x669, 40K)

yes all three people in this entire world who still care about mumo would make fun of you

I'm pretty sure the 3rd Sil would kill me
So I'm leaving now

I've let so many characters that could've ascended die because I want my first ascent to a 15rune win. Closest I've gotten has been 12 with a gargoyle fighter. Currently grinding out MuNe>gozag which has been great fun.

Thanks Eru for exchange place
I forgot to pick up Draugluin's cloak, sad

protip zin is better in extended than tso, especially if you don't know what you're doing, because he's better at helping you not die
