I played nethack a lot in the 90’s when I was in college. The farthest I got was the plane of air. Despite never beating it I consider it to be one of my favorite games. I’m glad to see design goals are still in the same spirit. Perhaps I should pick it up again now that my patience has leveled up.

There's so many Dumb Ways to Die in the game.

I always played with cheats on just so I could try all the characters and see all their quests and stuff.

Amazing the Ascension speed record is like 49 minutes.

Now now, it's that the game is full of ways to have YASD, Yet Another Stupid Death.
