tfw I was literally filtered by multi-coloured ascii. Shit's hard to parse, takes a while to get used to.
Rimworld is decent enough alternative though.
No. It's a really shitty, convoluted (in a bad way) textmode game that has no qualities to it other than being old and associated with 80's Unix scene and having "hack" in its name. It's only played by neckbears who think that it makes them a hacker to do so
It's not at all fun compared to more modern real games. Sure if you do it for the history or nostalgia but playing nethack in 2021 is like watching silent films, there's much more enjoyable things around
I must've played 500 games growing up, but the only ones I'd say still hold up are Doom (though much better with Brutal Doom) and Daggerfall (though much better with Daggerfall Unity).
Nethack is still fun, but especially in this context, which seems to be when you have limited ability to install games and want something simple to run.
Didn't play it when it came out, but Frontier Elite 2 holds up really well, the visuals especially have aged pretty nicely, the low poly low rez look is nice.

I played the heck out of that one as a lad right when it was new. It actually has more gameplay options than the new online elite. Combat is way more space accurate as well, blasting at the other guy with lasers through a telescope over a range of thousands of miles. You could hold entire planets captive for ransom too, the possibilities were nearly endless.

Elite Dangerous is such a disappointment. Presentation wise it's fantastic, the sound and visual design is top notch and probably the thing that kept most people playing. But the devs are absolute morons putting in shit that no one asked for or wants while ignoring ship people want like more player interaction. And from what I understand the recent odyssey update basically killed the game. Why the frick are all space games doomed to be shit?

I love how much there is going on and to do.
Modern games dont usually have the features some of these old games had and its strange gaming has gone backwards in some ways over the decades.
still its a great game and i'll play it til i can no longer game. its a beautiful universe to be in.
it's a lot of fun. the game is about figuring out how the game works. the learning curve is steep, so you die quickly at first, but with each death brings a little more information of what to do and what not to do. try not to spoil the game by reading about it online, not until you ascend once at least.
to get better at the game, you need to keep notes about what you have discovered. i have a note file that's about 2500 lines long. i refer and add things all the time to my notes when playing.
it took me about 2 years of off and on play to become knowledgeable enough to ascend. it's very rewarding when you do. it's easily the most complicated game i've played; it's essentially 1 player DnD.
Not really, there are other more structured Roguelikes out there.
I guess it depends on the kind of autism you have and what things tickle your specific brain defect.
Like for example Tales of Maj'eyal is basically an incredibly hard ARPG but turn-based. It feels pretty unfair at times but mostly that's because of the weird difficulty spikes due to not playing the "correct" way (always revealing the whole area with Track, which may mean savescumming to GET the Track skill, always right clicking on randbosses to see if you need to skip them or get special gear)
Takes me back to my childhood and being bored in computer class. Telneting to a Nethack server or blinkenlights.nl.
These days I take breaks and play Pavlov and VRChat.
I play vr games and jerk to vr porn in an open office setup. My coworkers are too scared to say anything because I've asserted my dominance from day one.

The goal is to gum up a simple, idealized multi user computer with processes that tax its resources and attack your opponent's programs.
Years ago some lads and I would play and you didn't even have to hide what you were doing from the bosses, it just looks like any other computer programming activity.

Serial terminal. Pic related is the one I posted about and where the gif in the post you're replying is from.
Exactly.
I've never played nethack, would you recommend it to a beginner?

wow you got filtered
Nethack is a classic and still fun.
You have to spend time learning how to play, though, and learning by failing
Roguelikes aren't fun, they're a waste of time
Trial and error isn't fun
literally filtered lmao

Please take off the glasses before you start screeching about how Goldeneye totally still holds up today.
