Purchase which effect?
You fade into invisibility! You feel ready to backstab.
You feel very mighty all of a sudden. You feel clever all of a sudden.
Gastronok screeches!
Gastronok spits a shard of ice at you.
The shard of ice hits you!! You partially resist.

Gastronok barely misses you. Gastronok claws you!

You die...
Your body crumbles into a pile of gold.
Two turn KO by Gastronok the 6% polymorph chance shard shrike. That's me up there unaware I was NOT selecting my acid wand and also unaware that shard shrikes can see invisible.

coming back to dcss is like the opposite of coming back to other games. instead of having to eagerly look through lists of new features and mechanics you just grimly read the names carved onto a vast war memorial for fallen content

Getting rid of mountain dwarves was the thin edge of the wedge. This is the end result when any rear end in a top hat with commit privileges can remove something because they deem it “boring”.

Ate 6 chunks of mutagenic flesh on floor 5, think this is the best luck I've had.

tfw the random mutations you got from eating out of the garbage can are better than your race-specific mutations

Who decided to make it a life or death situation every time an enemy gets next to you? Do the people who make changes only play MiBes?

oh uh hi guys

Having a real fun TEAE going. Two runes down. They finally added some fun spells rather than taking stuff away. https://cbro.berotato.org/morgue/coolio/coolio.txt

It felt pretty bad turning this one in when I had postgame equipment and was on the verge of having two postgame spells up and running. I haven't won in quite a while though, so I decided to just get a point on the board. It seems they've made postgame even more annoying than it already was, so maybe it was worth sparing the frustration.

Don't they normally run a tournament around this time of the year? The trunk changelog is looking kind of sparse...

edit: looking at the morgue just realized I took off a buckler at some point and forgot to replace it, lol
