Idk if I'm finally getting old or the real nerds are hiding. Nobody in here knows about Nethack? At least someone said Dwarf Fortress.

NetHack makes most mortals cry. My bones files taunt me.

One time I died on turn zero failing to mount my horse and hitting my head on the stone stairs.

Dang. I can't tag you "slime mold" because that's apparently a paid feature on my app. jdawson, is this what finally makes me switch apps?

Hello from Voyager! It looks like it doesn't support tagging either. The voyage continues.

Jerboa doesn't do it either, or else I just can't figure out how.

I played Nethack. I was overwhelmed by my anxiety and depression. I realised I was not good at video games. So I quit playing Nethack and swore to get good at video games before returning. Been, what, at least 15 years? I've gotten better I guess. Should I return? Soon, maybe.

(Seriously, though, roguelikes are still a genre I struggle with, so I do need practice!)

Have you tried pixel dungeon? It's kinda the same thing but dramatically easier and I've still never ascended. 🤣

Kinda the thing about it though is that what makes Nethack so good is how the devs thought of everything.
