This ate up most of my evening yesterday. It really is a very good substitute to the Mac-based version I’ve got. Some things are slightly clunkier, simply due to the nature of the input devices, but it mostly works superbly well. (And it’s nice that it uses the tileset that I’m used to, too.) The main problem is one I’ve mentioned before – it’s far too easy not to notice that your hungry and end up dead because of it.

Nothing much of note happened last night. I started, I got a few floors down, I died. Over and over again. Sometimes it seemed unfair, like when I walked into a room and was immediately by a hobbit firing a magic missile at me. But that’s NetHack for you.

The biggest thing of note was that in one game I – ironic gasp! – didn’t actually play as an orc barbarian. I let the game choose for me and I ended up as an poncy elven ranger. Still, he did okay. No worse than anyone else, anyway.
