Pretty much. :P
Funny coincidence, I got the "accuracy by volume" quote for the first time yesterday; usually, when I get the chaingun, he says, "spray and pray... okay." :)

If you look at the bottom of any of my DoomRL mortems, you may notice that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of games where I die. I win roughly 1 in 50 games, and I haven't played JH 50 times yet, so this should be about on par with expectations, I think. I just haven't played it very much yet. :)

I felt like playing around with Angel of Carnage for a bit. Scout seemed like the obvious choice, since he doesn't lose much for having fewer weapons slots, but I still got Gun Hoarder, since switching between rocket launchers is faster than reloading, especially once I got Juggler.
AoCa makes the early game super easy, since you don't even need to hit your targets. I just shot at walls next to enemies and that was enough to kill them. :P Mid to late game gets more challenging, especially since I was trying to go for 100% kills and running out of ammo became a major concern when facing bots who take three or four rockets and only give one in return, or Archreavers, who take two and give you nothing. I tried to be as efficient with my ammo as possible, hitting multiple enemies at a time when I could, but still got reduced to a single stack of rockets on the second level of Io. (Actually, the act of saving ammo may have been a major contributor to my death, since in some cases, I ate some damage, trying to get into a better position) The biggest drain on my reserves was the Containment Area, where I used about 20 rockets and got zero in return. I've been compulsively going in all the special elevators all along, but I may skip that one next time.
This is my third Bronze badge, so I've unlocked UV difficulty. Yay! :D

My main causes of death in this game are me getting caught off-guard by unexpected things. This is my first time getting to the Precipice of Defeat and I very nearly won. I'll get it next time.
Once I got to "Beyond," I started playing as though I was on the last level, not realizing that there are a few levels beyond Beyond. :P (Used a Military Stimpack when I probably should have saved it) I also fought the Reavers coming out of the Gateway longer than I should have; it took me some time to clue in that there were infinite of them. And at the end, I got the Summoner down to about 20% health and was about to deliver the killing blow with my rocket launcher when he teleported away and started surrounding himself with summons. (What an asshole!) :P He healed himself up to full before I could even get back to him, and then there were toxic Reavers all around him. I'll have to reconsider my strategy for next time.
My favourite thing to find in this run was a really nice advanced 9mm pistol that had enhanced damage, critical chance, and accuracy, and "Cleaner 4," which does extra damage to low-tier enemies. I carried that with me right to the end, even though there wasn't a whole lot of 9mm ammo around.
Oh, and I think I finally found where the red keycards are used, except that the Marine can't seem to get Packrat, so I had thrown the keycards away. I was still able to get into the vaults by shooting them open, though. My advanced pistol was surprisingly effective at that. :)

Yeah, I had another game shortly after this one where I got to Io again and was very much unprepared for how tough the CRI Bots were. I'll do better next time. :)
As for keycards... no spoilers for now. I think I'd like to actually win the game first, before I start seeking outside information. For the moment, it's more fun to figure things out on my own. :)

I'm wracking my brain, trying to figure out what "drtdrt" means and can't figure it out. Is that an acronym or something?

As the subject line says, it's my first time getting to Io, which may not seem like such a huge achievement to some, but I've been playing exclusively on Hard mode, so I'm struggling a bit. :P
The biggest contributor to my death was inventory management when I got to Io. When I realized that nobody was dropping any ammo except cells, I decided I'd have to make the tough decision about which weapon(s) to leave behind, and I really liked the weapons I'd collected, so there was much shuffling things around and testing how they compared, and a Reaver surprised me while I was doing this and I had the Long Rifle out, which is fantastic for long range, but not so much for close quarters combat, and I lost the last of my medkits as a result. Oh well... I'll be better prepared for next time. :) (Still haven't figured out what red keycards do)
A few notes to share for the Devteam:
I've been meaning to say about the opening message when you start a game... as a native English speaker, it looks weird when it switches between past and present tense between sentences. I think the message would read better as "something's wrong" instead of "something went wrong." Similarly, when you get to Io, it would read better as "You didn't imagine you'd visit it..." instead of "You didn't imagine you'll visit it..."
Also, minor thing... at one point, I found an "ADV rifle critical amp," and the description says, "Advanced rifle organ targeting computer." There should probably be a hyphen in "organ-targeting."

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|32%|YAVP] On a Roll 2: The UAC Diamond Strikes Back
« on: November 20, 2019, 20:28 »
You got me beat, then. :) My first mortem is from version 0.9.9.1, December 12, 2010. (HMP difficulty) I was killed by a Cacodemon in Hell's Arena. I had no idea what I was getting into, going into Hell's Arena; it looks like I was unprepared. I still managed to kill three Cacos, though. :)
It looks like I've spent more time playing, though, 100 days, 9 hours, 34 minutes and 5 seconds, and that's just in the current version! :o If I add up all the player log files from all versions... okay, now I'm curious, so I have to check... :P

Huh, you must've been playing this game for a while, if you can remember those days! :o I believe character classes got introduced back in version 0.9.9.4?
And yeah, the 20 minute time limit makes this challenge considerably easier than it first appears; for a speedrun challenge, it allows a surprising amount of dawdling along the way. :P Still, it does require a certain amount of skill to attain, so well done! :D

Hey congrats on the Angelic! Nice one! :D
Getting Juggler in an AoSh game is a rather curious choice. Did you get much benefit from it?
That's really interesting about the game crashing as a result of getting partial/full win in AoOC; I've never heard of that happening, but now, I want to test it out. :)
"Tormusical" sounds like the kind of game where you periodically break into song. :D Also, I'm really curious to know what the "Tormuse Maneuver" would be. :)

...and I've had characters called "Tormusical" and "The Tormuse Maneuver" before, who sadly died in their attempts to copy Tormuse's mortems.

« on: November 17, 2019, 17:14 »
So I picked this game up again the other day, after not having played it in a while. Tons of nice new features since I last played! :o After a bunch of games, (playing at Hard mode, 'cause that's how I roll) :) I finally cleared Callisto Anomaly for the first time, though I used up all my med kits doing it, and it made me susceptible to a couple of Security Bots on the next level. :P (It didn't help that I never found any armour in the whole game) :| This game's got some real challenge to it now; I wonder what Ultraviolence difficulty will be like. :)
Also, I have no idea if I notated the subject line correctly; I figured I should include the version number, difficulty level, class, and highest character level reached. There's no kill count percentage in the mortem and the "dungeon" levels are organized weirdly, so I didn't know what to include in the line. Speaking of the mortem, it's kind of neat that the game automatically copies it into clipboard. How convenient. :)
I also have a few playtesting notes to share. Is this a good place to share them?
