Seriously. You can't just call someone a hater or a nazi. You've got to pull out the big guns.

Easy, just combine the two.

You're a Nazi Hater!

Help. I have an invisible wood nymph running around and I can't see invisible. You can probably guess the details from there, but my current inventory:


^{*Note: This was all picked up after the wood nymph stole all my shit}


I am incredibly lucky that none of the shit I'm using was cursed, because the seven holy waters were in my bag of holding. If I could know when it was coming, I could strip naked and drop everything then punch it to death, but the last time I tried that I got down to single-digit health because of fire ants (I have firs resistance, but they still hurt when you can't kill them quickly) before the nymph showed up. I have intrinsic telepathy, which worked great when I fell afoul of a yellow light, but no other source of blindness.

Please advise.

EDIT: FUCK SHIT ASS BALLS. There's a cockatrice on the level. It's also a new moon, and my only lizard corpse is in my (now the nymph's) BoH. I can't even wait for the nymph to find me or I'll die horribly. All my new stuff is either stolen or on the floor next to the boulder, and the cockatrice is between me and it. Evacuating to the previous floor, and praying I can take on the yeti there in hand-to-hand combat. HELP.

WHY DID THIS GAME GIVE A NYMPH A POTION OF INVISIBILITY?

(I am not very good at Nethack)

I'm not JUST A CROW! I'm a NECROMANCER CROW!
Caw, rise my minions. >:-)


And... Wouldn't a Nazi Hater... Hate Nazis?

[Josephus]

I'm not JUST A CROW! I'm a NECROMANCER CROW!

You mean, a Necrowmancer?

[Aklyon]

I'd call that quite a lot of crap luck, Urist.

[Gunner-Chan]

You mean, a Necrowmancer?

Is that like a nekoromancer?

[Urist Imiknorris]

I'd call that quite a lot of crap luck, Urist.

I also found a blessed magic lamp, and the djinn told me to piss off. But that was about 5000 turns ago.

Look, I don't want to start a discussion on the problems of trans existence in a cisgendered world in the rage thread, mostly because I find the words 'cisgendered' and 'cis' non-essential and that distinguishing between 'trans' and 'cis' is itself an active perpetuation of gender-based discrimination

It must be comforting to be able to just dismiss it like that. I'm jealous.

but I'd be more careful before even hinting at accusing someone of being a transphobe...

... since as some people on this forum might recall, I'm pretty friggin' gay.

Although granted, who I bone has very little to do with my gender identity.

I've met some transphobic-as-fuck gays. You get no extra sympathy.

I'd be more careful before parroting the same arguments that'll be used to deny me treatment, but apparently your reputation as an ally is the most important thing here.

[Josephus]

It must be comforting to be able to just dismiss it like that. I'm jealous.

Yes, it's quite the advantage. You should try it some time.

It won't make any of the real problems go away, but the apparent ones will vanish - like a charm!

So, I'm at at restaurant with my daughter, when I get a call from my ex-wife's work. One of her co-workers tells me to come up there, because it's an emergency. So, I cut lunch with my three year old short (and we miss out on a day at the museum completely), and drag her into a hair salon. When I get there, the emergency is...

ex-wife's cell phone has died, and no one knows how to fix it. So they called me. I take it up to Verizon, where they tell me they can't do anything because it's been severely physically damaged. So, I quick-fix it, bring it back from the dead (I expect this to last about a couple of days,) and make myself look like the nice guy for another of the stylists, who has a (rumored, of course) crush on me.

The kicker? Ex-wife wanted her cellphone to call one of her old flames. The joke's on her, though, as the guy at Verizon has set it back to factory defaults, and she never backed up her contacts.

[Josephus]

That's messed up, man. You have my sympathies.

[MaximumZero]

That's messed up, man. You have my sympathies.

I'll take my daughter to the museum tomorrow, but I have a meeting in the evening. Still, I'm pretty pissed off about being effectively lied to.

[kaijyuu]

I'm certain you got plenty of warm fuzzies from helping someone with their phone. Way more important than that whole day with the daughter thing, totally.

[RedKing]

@Urist Imiknorris: See, this is where Nethack needs to take things to the next level and give you the option to gouge your own eyes out with the elven dagger so that you can use your telepathy. Or just....you know, WALK AROUND WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED.

[Aklyon]

That wasn't much of an emergency, at all. But at least you can wave off any problems with the factory reset by telling her it would still be broken otherwise, the verizon guy said it was too damaged.
