About Me

I am:

  • A NetHack newbie (I can reliably get to the Oracle)
  • A Wiki newbie (but I know a little of the formatting)

But, I love NetHack and this wiki. Considering the amount of time I waste on both, I thought I should give something back. I'm pretty good with grammar and punctuation, anyway.

My first roguelike was ADOM, but I'm glad I switched to NetHack, which I find less frustrating. I'm uncomfortable applying words like easier and simpler to NetHack, so I won't, but it's certainly been a more pleasant introduction to the genre.

I typically play neutral human Valkyries. This has nothing to do with the fact that I'm toying with the idea of joining Ásatrú. Really. I don't usually play on the public server, because:

  • I like tiles, to my eternal shame,
  • I still can't get a handle on the hjkl control scheme, and
  • I fear embarassment, and other peoples' bones.

This is my LJ, but I can't recommend reading it.

This table is mostly for practice.

News, Such As It Is

2/28: I started a really good game of Nethack last night. I'm now at level ten and I've cleared the Gnomish Mines. By sheer good fortune, I have three luckstones, a cloak of magic resistance, a ring of invisibility, and maybe a wand of death, and by sheer bloodymindedness I have Mjollnir as well. The Watch of Minetown is mad at me because I was trying to dilute my potions in their fountain, like a dumbshit, but I got away unscathed, and I think I can dodge them if I need to go back. Also my pet cat got turned into a horned devil. Oh yeah, I can train my pet horned devil on the guards! Hmm....

Indeed

And yes, Andronikus is my real nickname.
