Yeah, seriously. I can never understand why nobody understands "no spoilers".

"Oh boy, I hope OP manages to [REDACTED] the [REDACTED] when he reaches the [REDACTED], otherwise he'll be right [REDACTED]" is, if not an actual spoiler-by-implication in the circumstances (because it means a deadly 'gotcha!' moment is approaching, so be careful), at least annoying as gently caress.

I like your LP style. Talking through your thinking makes this whole thing really nostalgic.

I used to play Nethack with the numpad control setting, but without a number pad.

That's right, I learned to navigate using the number row. I was drat quick about it, too.

I won't say anything conclusive, lest I give anything away, but I will say that Nethack 4 has seen the deft hand of some reasonable developer from the rumblings I've heard.

A lot of early-game gently caress you things have been taken away. (Although he did almost "do not pass Go" himself by accident on his first run, so maybe not.) As far as I can tell, the midgame and lategame are largely unchanged.

Actually, is it even possible to get some kind of win without spoilers? I haven't played this since forever, and never was any good at it.

Theoretically. By which I mean 'No'.

There are some unspoiled ascensions, and they're legendary. But even they required years of set-up in which the player basically created the spoilers from scratch anyway by taking detailed notes.
