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.

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.

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.
