    I played Nethack. I was overwhelmed by my anxiety and depression. I realised I was not good at video games. So I quit playing Nethack and swore to get good at video games before returning. Been, what, at least 15 years? I’ve gotten better I guess. Should I return? Soon, maybe.

    (Seriously, though, roguelikes are still a genre I struggle with, so I do need practice!)

      Have you tried pixel dungeon? It’s kinda the same thing but dramatically easier and I’ve still never ascended. 🤣

      Kinda the thing about it though is that what makes Nethack so good is how the devs thought of everything.
