14:46 stenno: Of course, use git issues :) 14:46 think you need a wand for magical or artiwishing 14:46 They don't let you wish for anything else you want either. Right, nothing magic. 14:46 I mean github issues 14:46 Mandevil: fair 14:46 crystal picks is about it 14:46 No markers, no magic armor, etc. 14:46 no throne wisges in un 14:46 wishes 14:46 stenno: Or here, when I am actually responding. 14:46 No spellbooks, no scrolls you're missing... 14:46 Basically you can wish for junk you don't need and already have, like a long sword. 14:46 did i mention the 1:1 castle wand? 14:47 Crystal picks rock! 14:47 Mandevil: lol ok: see for example on this page: https://scoreboard.xd.cm/players/p/porkman.all.html , if you click through the variant links on top of the page, you will see that 'dnhslex' and 'SLASH'EM' are only displayed sometimes 14:47 yeah castle wand is what, 1:0 or 1:1 or 1:2? 14:47 stenno: It. Is. A. Known. Issue. 14:48 ah ok 14:48 i got two early un wishes because fruit juice is smokey. i got an oilskin cloak and a crystal pick 14:48 [hdf-us] [nh362] every (Rog Orc Fem Cha) genocided class L, on T:58789 14:48 should've checked the issues first then i guess ^_^" 14:48 sorry 14:48 If you want explanation, I can give it to you. 14:48 But it's just result of NHS being just static pages. 14:48 ^ TL;DR 14:48 i don't know if the un castle wand can have 3 wishes. mine had one 14:48 well i will take it :P 14:48 maybe i should check out the repo and make some pull requests if i find something 14:49 [hdf-us] [nh362] oh6 (Pri Elf Mal Cha) killed the Oracle, on T:23429 14:49 i have a 5-streak? 14:49 stenno: When NHS runs, it does not regenerate every player x variant page. 14:49 i didnt realise. 14:49 stenno: It's clear why, right? 14:49 i think 3 wishes is the very most it gets 14:49 that it's randomized to give 1, 2, or 3 14:49 because it's a lot? 14:50 It's staggering amount actually. 14:50 It would take hours to run that. 14:50 So there's logic that only updates player pages with new games in them. 14:51 aah 14:51 so porkman needs to play a game! 14:51 You already see the problem? 14:51 Yes, it can be fixed by playing a game. 14:52 You can always go to the 'all variants' tab. 14:52 That should always have all the variants. 14:52 [hdf-us] [nh362] Luxidream (Val Dwa Fem Law) made her first wish - "blessed greased fixed +2 silver dragon scale mail", on T:3405 14:53 i need to play a game on unnethack?

I hate things that summon nasties so maybe Master Lich? 23:19 <@carlarc> why are you using unblessed scrolls 23:19 <@luxidream> arch lich 23:19 [hdf-us] [nh343] UltimateThule (Tou Hum Mal Neu) killed Croesus, on T:67400 23:19 <@luxidream> also unnethack genocide needs 23:19 Un only does one monster for blessed 23:19 <@luxidream> nerfs 23:20 <@carlarc> jesus 23:20 ya, arch lich is my vanilla #1 23:20 <@carlarc> that's a bit ridiculous 23:20 [hdf-us] [un] bouquet (Cav Hum Fem Law) genocided arch-liches dungeon wide on T:33449 23:20 done! 23:20 <@luxidream> It’s not really that bad 23:20 -!- stenno has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds] 23:20 <@luxidream> Just hit master lich, arch lich, vorpal jabberwock 23:20 <@luxidream> There’s no flayer amnesia in un 23:20 ya, and they're delicious 23:22 carlarc: megageno like in vanilla feels overpowered after playing Un. 23:23 <@carlarc> i blame that on how there are like 10 dangerous monsters while everything else is basically filler 23:23 <@luxidream> “Dangerous” 23:23 <@luxidream> more annoying than anything 23:24 @luxidream Hmm, maybe I can get away with the same nerf, since flayers also don't do amnesia anymore in xnethack. 23:24 <@carlarc> yeah, those are the ones you genocide 23:24 do it, aosdict 23:24 <@luxidream> Honestly it’s fine 23:25 <@carlarc> normal geno scrolls just kill all of a single type in the level right? 23:25 <@carlarc> in un 23:25 <@luxidream> still better than un because xnh doesn’t have the required vorpal geno 23:27 nor do I plan to undefer vorpal J 23:27 I'm also not a fan of color alchemy. Gem alchemy can be more useful. 23:28 <@luxidream> dyna actually adjusts it so you can always make full healing and gain level 23:28 <@luxidream> it can still be pretty bad but if you can make it from object detection it becomes broken 23:30 bouquet: gem alchemy has a big fundamental drawback that it shares with color alchemy, that it's fixed at the start of the game whether you'll have a really powerful gem/random potion combination or not 23:31 Not that vanilla isn't happy to sometimes give you smoky fruit juice 23:31 <@luxidream> smoky wishes? What are those 23:31 right, but there's a greater chance you'll get to make full healing with gem alchemy. 23:34 <@carlarc> oh fuuuuck corrupted file 23:34 <@carlarc> this is bad 23:34 <@carlarc> i hope i don't get caught in a loop again 23:34 <@carlarc> yeah the file's fucked 23:35 <@carlarc> ugh 23:36 <@carlarc> blegh 23:36 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400474774440247317/535678812927688715/unknown.png 23:36 <@luxidream> get FIQ 23:36 <@luxidream> FIQ FIQ FIQ 23:37 <@carlarc> yeah 23:37 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400474774440247317/535679000526323723/unknown.png 23:37 no it's bhaak that you summon by saying his name three times 23:37 <@carlarc> !tell FIQ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400474774440247317/535679000526323723/unknown.png please fix <3 23:37 I'm on it, @carlarc. 23:37 <@luxidream> FIQ FH FIQHack balance broken meta 23:38 that one bug that amy wouldn't stop talking about! 23:42 <@carlarc> ouch 23:42 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400474774440247317/535680282045448195/unknown.png 23:44 <@luxidream> HARDFOUGHT MODE AND SURGICALLY INSERTED STENNOWORK WHATS THAT SHOULD ALWAYS MANDEVIL SUDDNLY IT HOTHRAXXA HEA HUM 23:45 <@luxidream> oops 23:45 <@carlarc> aw why'd you delete that 23:45 is this a new markov chain based spam 23:45 <@carlarc> that's a perfect slex scroll name 23:45 ha! can't delete stuff on irc! logs are forever! 23:45 <@carlarc> excellent 23:45 <@luxidream> I was trying to get some with FIQ in it so it would ping him 23:46 LarienTelrunya: ^ when you read through the hdf log, take note 23:47 <@luxidream> DAGGER STINGY K BETTER NOW KNOWN ISSUE STENNO SHOULD VE CHECKED THE AMULET OF REFLECTION AOSDICT 23:47 <{Demo}1> for some reason the monster thinks u are inside of it lol 23:47 stingy k sounds like a rapper name 23:47 <{Demo}1> ohh cause you were... 23:47 <{Demo}1> cause it engulfed 23:47 <{Demo}1> interesting 23:48 !tell LarienTelrunya https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/OzhLZKl8/image.png 23:48 Will do, PavelB! 23:48 PavelB: I'm fairly certain she doesn't need a !tell 23:49 nethack is the only context I know in which "VE" can be sitting there as its own word and still have a valid use 23:49 <@luxidream> VE FORDERBRYNE? 23:49 yes 23:49 "We were at the VE Day celebrations" 23:49 Pinkbeast: I'd usually write that "V-E" 23:50 I'm sure there's some acronym out there though 23:50 In the UK it is commonly "VE" day 23:51 <{Demo}1> what is that 23:51 victory in europe [WWII] 23:52 compare: V-J day for japan 23:52 <{Demo}1> ohhhh 23:53 -!- MisteryMyra has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 23:53 <{Demo}1> yeah america doesnt celebrate the whole japan bombing thing cause that would be bad optics instead we worry about pearl harbor 23:54 <{Demo}1> i dont even know what month the bombs were dropped in but i can sure tell u the month, day and hour they fucked with pearl harbor 23:54 -!- MisteryMyra has joined #hardfought 23:56 ok @luxidream, I'm considering adding Malcolm Ryan's brewing patch to xnethack. This allows you to dissolve mold corpses in fruit juice to later ferment them into booze, confusion, sleeping, hallucination, and acid potions. I don't really see any unbalancing implications, but do you? 23:57 noting that xnh has moldy corpses, so assuming that it would be pretty easy to get a F corpse of whatever type you desired 23:58 (original patch has green molds fermenting into healing, I changed it to acid since green mold is acidic and healing would obviously be broken) 23:59 Also considering being able to dissolve newt corpses in acid to produce gain energy potions. Not sure if that would be too powerful though given its role in alchemy.
