He's learning reverse RNG psychology... when the game goes well, that just means you're going to get slaughtered later. If you get slaughtered early on, you'll do well after you die, but you'll never know. :P

But if you suffer to the RNG early on and survive then...

a) the RNG hates you forever, or
b) you get lucky later on to make up for it

Anyway remember people the RNG is random not evil. It has no personality other than randint(1,99) or whatever.

Schnee is right again, the RNG is pure malevolent nethacking evil. 'Random' is stuck in there by lucky people who complain if they don't find a fully charged wand of'Saruman!' he cried, and his voice grew in power and authority.
'Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed. I am
Gandalf the White, who has returned from death. You have no
colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council.'
He raised his hand, and spoke slowly in a clear cold voice.
'Saruman, your staff is broken.' There was a crack, and the
staff split asunder in Saruman's hand, and the head of it
fell down at Gandalf's feet. 'Go!' said Gandalf. With a cry
Saruman fell back and crawled away.

...Dudley left the newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of
its time in the water.
        [ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ]

"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

corpse! Why, Dudley, why? It could serve you as a quick snack, or you could throw it to the dogA domestic animal, the _tame dog_ (_Canis familiaris_), of
which numerous breeds exist. The male is called a dog,
while the female is called a bitch. Because of its known
loyalty to man and gentleness with children, it is the
world's most popular domestic animal. It can easily be
trained to perform various tasks.

In fact, as a WizardEbenezum walked before me along the closest thing we could
find to a path in these overgrown woods. Every few paces he
would pause, so that I, burdened with a pack stuffed with
arcane and heavy paraphernalia, could catch up with his
wizardly strides. He, as usual, carried nothing, preferring,
as he often said, to keep his hands free for quick conjuring
and his mind free for the thoughts of a mage.

, geckoLizards, snakes and the burrowing amphisbaenids make up the
order Squamata, meaning the scaly ones. The elongate, slim,
long-tailed bodies of lizards have become modified to enable
them to live in a wide range of habitats. Lizards can be
expert burrowers, runners, swimmers and climbers, and a few
can manage crude, short-distance gliding on rib-supported
"wings". Most are carnivores, feeding on invertebrate and
small vertebrate prey, but others feed on vegetation.

I think it's stupid how freshly killed corpses in Nethack can be tainted or rotten; what kind of conditions are required for something that's been dead a mere 5 minutes to rot beyond edibility?

it takes 50 turns, and nethack turns are 7.5 seconds long, and the dungeon floor is VERY dirty.
