The "Stupid Things that happened to me" thread.

(1/8) > >>

Xtremekiwi:
When we play DoomRL, we can generally avoid doing some obvious things and do others. Avoid acid/lava, shoot enemies, use med packs when you need to and so forth.
For the most part.

Sometimes, though, you do something so unbelievably stupid that you just facepalm at the mere thought of doing that. Note that the thing that you post must be something that you wuld not do normally and it happened due to sheer stupidity, NOT due to the RNG screwing you over. I made this thread so people can talk about those without having to make a Mortem thread.

I was playing AoP on HNTR. The last few levels went very well, had a number of large med packs, some decent armor (Nano-modded red, was hoping for Powered red), when I got to the Cyberdemon. With my Gatling Gun + Eagle Eye (Cateye build, for anyone interested), I was doing well. But I had to start running when I got low. I got blasted by rocket splash damage, but was still in yellow. I got into position, started shooting...and got hit by a rocket that killed me instantly. Should have paid better attemtion to my health. And I was at a good position to win the game as well.

Pics optional, facepalming is not.

Klear:
I was playing Angel of Masochism. I don't remember the build I went with, but I always went for dodgemaster just to pass Cybie without trouble. In one of the runs I finally got to Tower of Babel and Cybie spawned only a few tiles from me. I activated running just to be sure I can reach the best position and start dodging. I think I had full tactical set by that time and hellrunner 2 of course, so I was just moving from side to side in front of cybie, waiting for him to shoot.

He blasted me right in the face, killing me instantly. Then I realized that I didn't have dodgemaster in this run yet (either I skipped a special level or there were too many caves on the way...

Just imagine the speedy marine dancing in front of the confused cyberdemon and then getting vaporized by his rocket.

Uranium:
I descended to floor 23 on HMP AoB with low health. I appeared almost surrounded by lava barrels, with two pain elementals easily in range of them.
I started hitting them, but the lost souls surrounded me, and I was on about 3% health when I remembered the alternate power of my weapon.
I thought I was using Azrael's Scythe, so I alt-reloaded.
I wasn't using Azrael's Scythe.

ZicherCZ:
Once upon a time, I came home after work, turned on my laptop and loaded a promising AoMC UV run. Got past Cybie, was just pondering whether Mortuary could be survivable, when all of a sudden the laptop turned off.

My batteries were low and I forgot to put the laptop on AC ...

HexaDoken:
While fighting some Mancubi, I got knocked into a middle of a large lava pool, which was previously generated by a massive napalm barrel explosion.
I was wearing Antigrav steel boots, and I had Cerberus plasteel boots in my backpack.
Of course, since standing on lava with antigrav steel boots which totally offer no protection isn't fun, I quickly swapped them with my all-resistant Cerberus boots.
"Your backpack is full! Would you like to drop Antigrav Steel boots on the floor?"
Y
"You wear Cerberus steel boots. You drop Antigrav steel boots. Antigrav steel boots melt!"
YESH IM SAVE-
wait.
FUCK.

I did not facepalm. I nearly broken my desk with my face.
