Don't ask me how the idea for this comic came up in conversation, but it did. While camping, no less. And no, this didn't really happen. My deepest apologies to the ladies.
I really didn't need to see that much of Karl's chest on the internet.
If you aren't in the know, the comic is to a certain extent based on
Nethack, the most addictive video game ever made. For those of you know don't know or care what Nethack is, well, you'll just have to indulge us this week.
Those of you who do know about Nethack have certainly noticed that the comic contains elements not found in the actual game. Well, fear not! I have taken the liberty of adding them myself. I am making available
a patch to add them. Those of you who, like me, have an intel mac might just want to try the
tarball of my fully set up nethack source directory.
Finally, for those of you too lazy to try it out yourselves, here are some screenshots of the updated nethack in action:
I was not coordinating very well with Karl as we are not in the same state and I hadn't been on the internet until less than an hour ago. Turns out I jumped the gun a bit on my "it's nethack post". Read Karl's instead; it's much more informative.
