I just got into NetHack (using Vulture's for a GUI), and I've been reading up on a bunch of things so I can be ever so slightly prepared for what awaits me.
One of the things I've read is that as long as the game considers you a beginner, you can't identify potions, spells and scrolls via their ...
In the game 20,000 Light-Years Into Space you can build nodes, that are not over a steam-source. Does it make sense to build some to strengthen the network or should I only build nodes over steam, to get the most influx?
I want to find some good strategy games to play on my PC, but my problem that the PC i have now have a poor display memory, just 256, and is there a place i can filter games by display memory?

The game was about two Female Wizards trying to save their kidnapped mom.
Levels were populated by animals (e.g. crabs, bees). Those animals could be eliminated using the wand one time to capture them, and two more times to slam on ground and kill them. The letters forming the word EXTRA were col...
I've had some really awesome help on my previous questions for detecting paws and toes within a paw, but all these solutions only work for one measurement at a time.

each measurement ...
I insisted on practicing my German while I was there, even though everyone I talked to immediately recognized me as American and spoke to me in English
There are a lot of different ways of identifying items (as expounded here), and often it seems that several steps are required. I know there are lots of tables of this information on the NetHack wiki and elsewhere, but I am looking for one or more flowcharts that cover everything to make IDing as...
I started a Survival Multiplayer Server for Minecraft, but it's been behaving weird when dealing with the nether.

Prosecutors say a rural Wisconsin man blasted his TV with a shotgun after watching Bristol Palin’s “Dancing With the Stars” routine, sparking an all-night standoff with a SWAT team. According to court documents, 67-year-old Steven Cowan became enraged while watching Palin dance on Monday evening. He felt Palin was not a good dancer.

In Brawl there are special items that look like white domes that activate when you pick them up, summoning a character from another game to fight for you for a short time, sort of like Pokemon.
Is there a list of these, what games they are from, and what their abilities are?

I've been trying to figure out how spawning works in Black Ops multiplayer, but haven't had much success. I'm fairly new, so it may just be that I'm totally lost in the maps. In some maps (like nuketown) I can tell that I always respawn at the same place. In other maps, I feel like there's no con...
If I add a second controller when playing COD:BlackOps online anybody who talks has a bad echo. Its almost like we are receiving two different audio streams even though we're using the same output. And when I turn off the 2nd controller the echo stops. Anybody know how to fix this?
I loved playing Freespace years ago.
I'm aware of the Freespace Open project, but I'm looking for something a bit more modern/recent.

I don't think we have massive amounts of new questions being asked. And if you have a good history, you can get a nice trickle of reputation from that. My goal is to get enough of a history to be rep capped usually, then retire.
Wow, been a good day for rep today. I might actually hit the cap. Thanks, NetHack, for all the bewilderment you have bestowed upon me this week.
Sigh, managed to YASD a promising Samurai by accidentally hitting a shopkeeper when attempting to leave his store. It actually asked me if I was sure I wanted to attack him, and for some inexplicable reason, I hit the "yes" button.
I got a nethack app for my android phone and couldn't even figure out how to do anything. I'm not sure if it was a problem with the port or that it's just that unintuitive.
Nethack was built for a very different kind of device: one with a full keyboard but no graphics. Your phone has great graphics and no keyboard. That's why it doesn't port very well directly.
In spite of that, I'm giving nethack another try on my phone right now.
the iphone version uses a gesture interface that you can use instead of keyboard commands, and once you start to remember the common ones, it's super-fast and intuitive
In Pac-Man Championship Edition for the iPhone, one of the achievements is something like "emit sparks for 5 seconds". How do you emit sparks, and what effect does it have?
@StrixVaria expect to suck for a while. Accept it and enjoy it. Read some guides and you'll slowly get better. I've also been doing all my characters as Random for everything, and I think that works well. It forces you to learn about a lot of different aspects of the game

Lights Out is a grid-based puzzle where each cell has two states: on/off. You can swap the state of any cell, but when you do so, the adjacent cells (horizontally or vertically) are swapped as well. Given initial the grid with random states, the objective is to set all cells to off state.
