#nethack — Public Fediverse posts

I guess I've only been playing games without intricate plotlines/stories recently.

NetHack, Hades, Haste, Balatro and other #roguelike and some #Chivalry2!

Somehow games with 50+ hours of main story gameplay feel like a chore than anything else. At least at the moment 😅

The real reason I built Amphitere: a #NetHack experience for my #AynThor that feels like it belongs there.

I'll probably die soon, but second run in #nethack looking good. So I guess you CAN game on mac.

...tunneling, chopping off corpses, turning bolts on rusted doors and still more than these ones mentioned. So I told myself, let's see what can I do next, to pay some honors to #nethack and #dcss. Captain Gnolls have a chance to drop halberds (wink wink) and, things from here get crazy AF. When a trap pit, or spike pit is created, and the player falls in it, I coded a new function/command (ctrl+q) by which the player can drink (quaff) stale water from the bottom of those pits!...

Haven't played #Nethack in years. Trying it now on mac now; yes I use tiles, I started with Nethack 3.2.x I believe on DOS with tileset afair. Honestly default tileset haven't changed much.

First Ascension: After 30 odd years of playing #Nethack I have succeeded in ascending. I had a very lucky run. I found 5 magic lamps, 6 wands of death, and 7 magic markers. I didn't use all wishes, didn't use all WoDeath, and didn't use all markers.

It was an easy run up the dungeon. Only got hit by the mysterious force once. Dealt with the Wizard a few times but the WoDeath made short work of him. I encouraged him to leave the dungeon at level 1.

Planes were straight forward though I did forget to put my BoH back into the oilskin sack on the plane of water. That almost did in my various health potions but I realised what had happened and rescued them. This was fortunate as Pestilence was a complete pain when I reached the Astral Plane.

Death was surprising easy, I thought. I just whacked it a couple times and it died. Repeated twice. Same with Famine. I don't recall meeting War but there was a lot going on.

I had to visit all three altars. It's quite a task beating a path between them. Only had one Wand of teleportation so it really was a slog.

But I got there!

Lawful Valkyrie. Easiest character 🙂

thanks for getting #nethack v5 to run on #netbsd! I'm trying to compile it on #freebsd, but getting #curses errors

This Nethack demake for the Pico8 is kind of genius.

There’s so many systems and keybinds that make Nethack a famously inaccessible nightmare to comprehend, but this feels like a great way to introduce people to ASCII games in a friendlier manner

2026-04-14 14:27 Mum took me for my first walk outside in the sun and the flowers yesterday, since a family flu outbreak last week. I was so #sick and the last to recover, and not able to do much more than vegetate and poke at #NetHack a bit, hence delays to taping. However, #CRRRRS #SFFH #Podcast shall return soon with a revisit of #DoctorWho: #GhostLight, as soon as I can talk without coughing my guts out.

Text Wall posted an update on the awesome 64x64 Nethack tileset they've been working on for years now: https://old.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/comments/1dgoyye/im_an_artist_making_a_weird_64x64_nethack_tileset/

Today's not-so-guilty pleasure - Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

I saw a post here on #Mastodon recently (sorry, can't find it right now) with an intriguing old-school screenshot of a #RogueLike #NetHack or #Hack like game.. And this is that game

It's got a great tutorial that walks you through the basics at a good rate, and it's interesting and a bit challenging. I felt like I was playing the game not just learning the mechanics. It's on all the platforms.

Ooop, BonBon needs my attention...

My #Ubuntu install on the lil Mango Pi MQ pooped the bed. I did a reinstall and I am in the process of installing a bunch of #cli games. Here is what I have so far:
#Bastet
#Ninvaders
#pacman4console
#Nsnake
#Greed
#MoonBuggy
#AsciiBuggy
#Minesweeper
#Zangband
#Nethack

I have also installed some fun stuff like:

#nyancat
#fortune
#CowSay

If you know of other fun stuff to do at the command line, holler at your boi!

Nethack 5.0 has been released
So yesterday the Devteam (it is always the Devteam) released version 5.0 of legendary and venerable rogueike compuer game NetHack. It is 39 years old.

Nethack (I am more used to writing it without the capital H) is a venerable roguelike computer game, and by some measures the greatest roguelike of them all. Long before Caves of Qud or Dwarf Fortr

I recently picked up a new classic #roguelike, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup or #dcss. I am really impressed by its #qualityoflife features compared to #Angband and #Nethack, including a web client, mouse support, auto-move, and auto-fight. It really shows how a game can have a great easy-to-learn interface but still be balls hard. I like it.

Are there any terminal-based MMOs? Modern ones, still maintained? Like, a game that I can play with a large number of strangers, over the internet, in the #terminal?

I know about #CDDA, and #DwarfFortress (which isn't really text mode anyway), but those are single-player games, just like #NetHack is too (even though it has "net" in its name).

I don't really want it to be _text_ based (i.e. everything just in prose), ASCII-art graphics would be nice.

#MMO #MMORPG #gaming #games #askFedi

Also late to this trend, taking my cue from Maxxy:

#10gamestoknowme
1) Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead #CDDA
2) Call of Duty: Mobile
3) #nethack
4) #citiesskylines
5) #Genshin
6) #girlsfrontline
7) #dwarffortress

... I don't know. I've run out of games I've played and liked. I'm not a gamer, although I do enjoy occasional gaming. The CoD grind is real, even on a phone.

Are there any FPS phone games out there which are good? I might need to expand away from cod.

Also I have not played CDDA in a long time although it was my go to game for a while. There's only so many ways you can survive zombies before you get bored.

I just set up a custom GPT "ESOL Dungeon Master" to play #Zork / #NetHack / #ChooseYourOwnAdventure games with #EnglishLearner students. Focused on English language #education.

Need to convince the higher ups to allow me to play it with students during class. I'm not sure if it will be "go for it" or "we need to get permission from higher higher-ups and / or parents."

If you have #ChatGPT access, search for "ESOL Dungeon Master" by Chris Spackman. Feedback appreciated.

I just found out that after an 11-year pause #Nethack released update 5.0 with new monsters & artifacts...only to discover there's no Mac-specific version. While impatiently tapping my foot, here's my view on the unparalleled game: Forever Nethack, https://www.starshipreckless.com/blog/?p=9893 #games #rpg

#Nethack 5.0 has been released 🎉

I’m still as bad at NetHack as I was last time I played it, many years ago, before the Gnomish Mines were added to the game. My most successful game ever was when my pet cat Fluffy got polymorph-trapped into a pet guardian naga that followed me around killing all the monsters, and I still didn’t win that time. It blows my mind that most of the NetHack derivatives are altered to be *more* difficult. #NetHack

Wer sagt's denn? #Nethack 5 mit windowtype:qt unter Qt6. Geht doch :-)

Der Nerd in mir feiert natürlich hart, dass es kein offizielles Linux-Package gibt, stattdessen aber ein #Amiga 68k Binary.

Und ich hätte auch wirklich gern das Amiga-Binary gespielt… aber es fehlt mir leider gerade 1 Tisch für meinen A1200…

#Nethack you can always #play #online using ssh. In caseyou don’t want to compile, install or download the game. https://www.hardfought.org/nethack/

Oops, got too drunk and got killed by something stupid… 😅 #YASD #nethack

I think getting killed six times in one day by a bunch of gnomes is enough.

I forgot that was a possibility… *cries*
