Nethack

[redbird]

I spent much of this afternoon and evening playing nethack, mostly one tourist after another dying quickly. I hadn't played in several months--long enough to have forgotten why I hadn't been playing nethack.

I wasn't, and am not, bored with it. But it's a repetitive typing that is not good for my shoulder, which now hurts.

With any luck, I'll remember this time. (Removing it from the computer seems, well, wrong somehow.)

I wonder if you could play nethack with voice-input. Should work pretty well, depending which keystroke set you use.

I've been playing monks lately. They're really frustrating, because they tend to die around 10th level, after I've gotten invested in a character.

Not great for my shoulder, either -- but much better than Tetris used to be, back when I had a serious addiction to that.

This level of annoyance is why I finally started using the gui nethack interfaces -- it -is- rather nice to be able to click on a part of the map and "run" to that location.

But, of course, YMMV.
