I've been playing as a deep dwarf of trog. I'll say that I've been carried through most of this game through a lucky loot drop of a +11 vampiric broad axe artifact from a scroll of acquirement

almost there...

awww yisss glowing rune

now it's time to find a way out and wrap up this game

I'm goin' for it

6 runes colleted in Crawl (barnacled, serpentine, silver, abyssal, slimy, dark). Dare I go for a lucky 7?

@LWFlouisa and that's why @shel made fun of me calling this a temperate paradise ;p

@LWFlouisa yep...

*pew pew kaboom sizzle*

hot as fireballs out

Playing around with the incredible Dawnlike pixel art set a little https://opengameart.org/content/dawnlike-16x16-universal-rogue-like-tileset-v181

I don't really have time to make anything but it's a nice distraction. I do have a longtime dream of making a roguelike-ish TBS game using this tileset

@dredmorbius well, not even as much as I was before

@dredmorbius nah I don't think I'm constantly cranky! I am now tho

@nightpool @CobaltVelvet @Sylvhem fair!

@nightpool @CobaltVelvet @Sylvhem that said, I'm not saying that everyone should use emacs, just that I thought this was one place that did it right :)

@nightpool @CobaltVelvet @Sylvhem non technical users just shouldn't be hand editing json or xml or any of those things. they should have tools that generate that stuff for them.

@nightpool @CobaltVelvet @Sylvhem but for the most part I think xml isn't very suited to hand-editing.

I do think it gets more hate than is fair. Plain json can often be much worse. But xml has serious problems... the inability to have insiginificant whitespace is one.

@nightpool @CobaltVelvet @Sylvhem one answer is that even hand-written xml should be used within tooling that clearly explains, highlights, and does not permit errors. nxml in emacs is a good example of this.
