Any good fantasy legendarium will be racist and sexist, like biology itself.

DCSS' iterative distributed development evolved races, gods and backgrounds to occupy distinct niches in both gameplay and player imagination. The result is beautiful. Even those who have never played can appreciate the pictures associated with each racial archetype: HTML, Gitlab.

(I especially liked seeing Drizzt's panther summon come to life. My felid icon will forever be black.)

Whether it's the suicide bomber Orc religion of pieces or the hypnotic vampire synagogue of Satan, tru-DCSS speaks truth to power. No wonder the trans-revolutionaries had to ruin it.

If you're unfamiliar with DCSS, the best way to look up the table's jargon is to simply download v.23. The nu-DCSS wiki now reflects radically-revised versions of the game. (Looking at past versions of wiki pages requires navigating the version history.)

The Left has swept Western institutions, subverting even our video games. Join me at c/roguelikes to git gud and take back the culture. They can't stop us here, because it's open source. (((Blackrock))) ESG may control Github and Reddit, but it can't touch Scored.co and Gitgud.io

Stop playing woke video games, and start playing and developing based ones. Roguelikes teach patience, prudence and probability estimation – traits we will need in the coming turbulent decades. Ever since I beat Castle of the Winds as a child, I believed in the heroic journey. The games we build will shape our childrens' souls.
