Two things; firstly, Google "Machinae Supremacy".

Secondly, NetHack 3.4.2 is out. If you know what NetHack is, why are you waiting? If you don't, the first one is free...

Bah. Doesn't appear to be anything new (in the way of features) in 3.4.2.

Well, minor versions normally are bugfixes not feature releases. However, public postings on rgrn strongly suggest there's a feature release being worked on in parallel.

Because losing is a great way to feel like crap?

Sounds like a really crappy way to divert oneself from stuff. "Oh, I'm accustomed to failure."

Ah, if it was easy it'd be no fun when you _do_ win. I still remember my first ascension...

BTW, I notice two of your interests end in periods - "eighties." and "elite." - is this by design?

I remember my first ascension too. That would be the one after I hacked the source so that a) I couldn't die, b) I had an unlimited number of wishes and c) objects could be enchanted above +5. Five years of dying before level 9ish (I can remember getting as far as Medusa once or twice), usually through starvation, eliminated any expectations of fun that I might have had.

This doesn't mean that I won't still play if I have time to kill, however...

Oh, right - I got cheating out of my system playing Hack as a teenager, so I escaped that (but some objects can be enchanted above +5 anyway :-).

You can always pray for food when Weak or Fainting....

Play Valkyries - they can easily make it to the quest and their quest nemesis is a pushover.
