I started playing when I was 12 and have gone relatively spoiler free.
I have ascended once. (I was 25 at the time)
I got stuck on the vibrating square many times, the castle many times, and have died on the elemental planes many times. Because I had no idea to do what was expected to me. The first I got to Medusa I died instantly.
Yes, I think some of the final puzzles are a bit too obscure... But I think you can beat it without spoilers.
But I would spend entire days to learn mechanics... IE: day of kicking sinks is a day I remember fondly in my childhood.
I am sure there is tons I don't know. But I have never used explore mode, and I have never looked up spoilers before ascending.
Note, I had some word of mouth friends, and it took me 3 years alone to figure out altars.
Unnethack is probably my favorite fork of nethack. It has a lot of extra dungeons and new stuff without just it being a bunch of unbalanced chaff with breaking fundamental nethack ideas. (Sorry slashem fans).
For the general turn based roguelike games check out caves of qud. It has its flaws but is incredibly interesting.
I agree. I would love to know the specifics of any country in detail. Or a least a deeper understanding of medicine distribution in the EU. Any chance someome can explain and talk about it?
I work for a big tech company that started doing 4 day workweek during COVID.
They basically tracked JIRA tickets closed and found a huge spike in those as well as developers reporting burnout. Higher-ups figured this could be a blanket solution.
Currently our setup is Wednesdays are not 'on-call'. Its being handled in a sort of "at your team's discretion" fashion to give you an idea of how strictly its being enforced and the style of implementation.
That aside, I love it. Possibly essential for a wfh environment. Burnout is real on an all code in your room schedule. It also gives me incentive to push on a project Tuesday night so I can sleep in Wednesday mornings. Projects that require a ton of communication take a hit (mid conversation Wednesdays go ghost), but I believe actual developer productivity goes up. Also I never lag on house chores or errands which is a massive boon to my mental health.
So all in all. Why not? It makes everyone happier and isn't a huge blow to output. My team has released some massive projects in the last year with extremely tight deadlines, so I imagine if it's not possible at your company, your entire situation is unhealthy.
