A gaming triumph 15+ years in the making

[Necronopticous]

I ascended in Nethack earlier tonight, fulfilling one of my greatest gaming aspirations--one that I've been working toward for well over fifteen years.

Let's all play Nethack to celebrate.

Christopher Clam would be proud.

If Jeremy does not win Most Hardcore Gamer then you people don't know about videogames.

Nethack, man. Freaking Nethack.

My congratulations go out to you!

[Meat Puppet]

So thought this was going to be DNF

[Shoeberto]

Grats. Nethack is hard, but also very important. Everyone should read about the history of it and the genre.

And also appreciate that we don't have to play games with punch cards anymore.

[Marshall Banana]

[Wolf Kanno]

Congratulations

[Momiji]

Man, I've been playing NetHack a lot recently! I'm gonna need your advice and stuff, Jeremy. I usually don't survive past DLvl 6 or 7 :P

Congrats, man.

[Depression Moon]

Is that a game you've made?

[Shoeberto]

Is that a game you've made?

It's more of an historic artifact of gaming culture.

[Rase]

The smurf? I didn't know you could do that. I never made it past like dlvl 3 and thought it was just bottomless.

Good for you sir. I'll stick with my easier rouge-likes, thank you.

[Marshall Banana]

Necronopticous is quickly becoming a Nethack pro!

[Momiji]

This could have been a wonderful run, but nooooooo, I had to be killed by a mimic. Just look at all of those spells I had early on

[Necronopticous]

My first ascension on nethack.alt.org.

[Laddy]

I shouldn't even bother anymore.
