i know its gay BUT you seem to be hung up on the fact that you don't like Nethack's gameplay, which I didn't even mention.

If you can't get past ASCII graphics, identifying items, eating food, or any of the things I've heard mentioned, then yes -- you are not going to like Nethack, because last I checked, Nethack has all these elements. My point is that you would still hate the game even if it had a quicksave feature. Lack of quicksave is not the problem.

i know its gay BUT, by the way, you CAN quicksave, if you just copy the save file it makes when you save/quit. However, I feel quicksaving entirely defeats the point of the game.

The fun of the game is that sometimes you do well, sometimes you don't. Imagine playing poker for chips, except you engineer it so you always win. Now you've got all the chips. Wheeeeee! It's not like there's a gripping plot, or amazing cinematics. The challenge IS the game.

Now follow this up with a snappy retort. Possibly questioning my sexuality.
