dungeon crawl stone soup is a far better game than nethack and should by all rights be the archetypal classic roguelike. you can never change my mind
@typhlosion finally someone else said it
@typhlosion That and brogue, though brogue is more modern with classic styling.

@typhlosion Apologies. I didn't mean to say you were wrong, or anything.

@Felthry nuh youre fine, thats not directed at anyone in particular, ive just gotten "brogue, actually" from at least three separate people now lmao
@typhlosion i should play more crawl!!
here's my nethack story: one of my characters, a wizard, died on dungeon level 3. the downstair was (i think) behind a hidden passageway, and after i cleared all the enemies i went around all the rooms checking every square of wall multiple times until i starved to death. i did not play nethack anymore after that
