Amazing.

I was never any good at Nethack. I think I just get impatient. I could regularly get a bit past Medusa but anything past that definitely involved save scumming. I was always a little jealous of the folks who could ascend regularly. But not jealous enough to, like, do anything about it.

Nethack's always been amazing for the feeling of "the devs thought of everything." I wonder how well that feeling holds up today.
