       | Damn, I wish I knew about this ahead of time. I would have
       | "attended". I'm not much of a conference person, so I feel like I
       | only hear about the cool ones as they're going on or after they
       | finished.

       | I find the pleasure in mastering a roguelike to be quite similar
       | to that found in the honeymoon phase of learning a new skill or
       | exploring a new domain of knowledge. Addictive, fresh and
       | empowering. Almost like experiencing the first peak of the
       | Dunning-Kruger effect with each new game I find, until that curve
       | drops and the game inevitably destroys me (damn you Caves of
       | Qud).. Well, most of the time.
       | 
       | Anyway, if anyone is looking for any recommendations I really
       | enjoyed Cataclysm-DDA (super cool) and Caves of Qud for the old
       | school ASCII feel. Then there's Dead Cells, Noita and Hades for a
       | more modern take.

         | That high when playing a new, difficult roguelike for the first
         | time, not knowing what works and what doesn't, is survival
         | horror porn. It's the brief few days I truly feel like a child
         | again.

         | If you liked those, might want to give One Step From Eden a
         | try. It's a mix of deck building combat + real time action,
         | quite fast paced and is technically well done.

       | There's a dead comment with a negative take about the YouTube
       | comments being turned off, and I just wanted to point out - the
       | conf is hosted in a really cool custom real-time conference mud,
       | built by em lazer-walker. It's a fun thing that is worth checking
       | out

       | I attended this conference in person in 2019. It's an excellent
       | conference! There may be no more serious group of practitioners
       | of applied procedural generation in the world.
