(First floor.) Ration of Food blocks the door. Mage pretty much starts with everything you need to solve that room.

Edit: This seed is crazy, already with artifact and wand on the first three floors. LBX-MZH-SYDv2.5.2 (Mage; On Diet&Faith Is My Armor&Forbidden Runes)

I started wondering whether this breaks Roguelike-ness, since a run gets influenced by external factors.

I was trying to bake some meringue and playing with aquafaba, but I tend cook chickpeas myself and store them dried otherwise. But aquafaba-based recipes usually assume you buy precooked chickpeas in a glass.

Then I found this article, which explores how to cook chickpeas so the cooking water can be used for aquafaba recipes.

Let’s talk about some UI/quality of life stuff. I was about to open issue, but since it touches a bunch of different topics, I guess a discussion is better. It’s a bunch of things that were annoying to me over the last months. It doesn’t mean that something has to change, could just be that I overlooked some features somewhere.

• Special floor explanations on mobile
  • The desktop version of ShPD allows to hover the floor indicator, but I can’t find an equivalent for touch on mobile
• Ignore invisible mobs and allies for automatic movement
  • To some degree automatic movement reveals positions of mobs
  • If you have 10 wraiths active on the floor or something like that, the character runs aimlessly back and forth without even reaching his destination
  • It’s better to get stuck than wasting satiation
• Optional auto aiming button for touch input that works like tab with keyboard input

Fat finger syndrome stuff:

• Targeting yourself by clicking on your portrait or hitting the shortcut for hero info
  • I had it happen a bunch of times that I accidentally shot my wand in some direction instead of shielding myself, which can be a serious problem with wand of blast/fire/disintegration
  • Also relevant for ghost guiding
• Optional "Are you sure?" popups for automatic movement
  • It happens that you accidentally run somewhere when input for zooming/panning failed
• Optional visual aid for aiming and maybe optional confirmation if you really wanna shoot/throw to tile without mob
  • Did I touch the right tile and not a neighboring one?
    • A classic is to shoot a tile adjacent to a mob
  • Can I even hit that mob/trap?
  • Would I hit my allies?
  • It’s sometimes hard to tell if it would hit a wall edge or not
  • It should only respect revealed stationary environments and visible mobs, but not 100% show where it actually hits since that would reveal invisible entities

Those are especially related to taking a longer break and picking up a save game after months:

• Notes for floors
  • Did I find hidden doors on that floor with extra secrets?
  • Did I use scroll of mapping?
  • What did the quest say? Did I already finish that quest?
  • Did I use all blacksmith options already?
  • Did I solve all puzzles or were some potions missing for them?
  • Such notes should probably be accessible via “Landmarks” interface
  • Currently I use Steam overlay notes for that, but that’s a dissatisfying solution since it’s completely closed source
• Notes for unidentified potions/scrolls/items (extends the previous point)
  • On what floor did I find this potion/scroll?
  • Who dropped it?
  • Was it in a chest/grave?
  • Maybe should be automatically deleted when identified
• Ability to ⭐ items
  • If I remember correctly, Borderlands 2 and Victor Vran allowed to mark items that you wanna continue to use to simplify selling not needed stuff
  • It’s hard to remember your setup if you didn’t play for some time
• More save game infos like "last played at XXX" and "save game of game version XXX"
  • Though savegame should probably not be overwritten if you didn’t do any significant actions since opening the save game, dunno how that’s currently handled

If the curse triggers inside the shop, the shopkeeper will disappear. I’m glad I had time to equip the hourglass

Are there some know issues with Tokodon and NeoChan on Android?

When I open them on Lineage 20 they just immediately close. They don’t trow any errors and don’t really know how to debug them.

I'm always glad when I find the rose early on. Switching places with it is a lot more useful theb wraiths

Neat reimplementation of WarCraft III tower defense map YouTD. Engine is Godot 4. Though most graphics are AI generated.

I just ran into a succubus and an evil eye. The succubus became a wraith when I killed it. The evil eye then fought against the wraith and shot at it, but they often just evade it and don’t take any damage. Then I killed it with my corrupting glaive.

My setup is neat for these floors. Wand of Prismatic Lightning gives me sight in the dark dungeons and renders evil eyes and scorpions basically harmless when it blinds them. That wand is only +1, but my Staff of Magic Missile +15 can give it quite some punch. For scorpion that means I have to tank one projectile, but evil eye charges slower. Though that wand is directly followed by Wand of Frost in effectiveness, which makes it for scorpions impossible to escape melee and evil eyes charge long enough to hit them twice and run away.

Apparently it isn’t that hard to survive the 248 damage from upgrading it. 155hp, 92 shielding from self-targeting with wand and Scroll of Challenge halving the damage. (ShPD 2.2.1)

Didn’t it trigger Inscribed Power in the past? Without that this skill becomes somewhat useless.
