    Death-fest is not likely. Basically my deaths will be either a bad luck death (teleport into hound room, spawned AMHD) or an inattention death.

    We're looking at something like a 80% chance of winning after I get ESP + _destruction, and maybe something like 65% with one of those two.

    Of course the whole recording thing does test my attention levels...

      In fact, showing some deaths would be a nice addition to pinpoint some of the common mistakes done by players: ignorance of resistances vs depth, teleporting at low health into a hound pack... Just make a copy of your savefile before the end of a video, show the death, end the video and start next video from the pre-death savefile.

        That's an interesting idea. I'm keeping *all* the save files after each video for no particular reason. But I can go back afterwards and pick some of them to show how easy it is to 'achieve' a stupid death (provided I don't die for real.)

        Another question I have is how often should I pause video to do repetitive tasks, like slaughtering wolves in a room, which requires lots of retreating and advancing. I'm thinking this is a good way to reduce video length without losing anything interesting. I've already cut a few of these situations out at this point. Is this a good idea?

                Just chiming to say this has turned out to be sooooo good and I definitely hope it continues long into the future and tackles the entire spectrum of fine doings bit by bit.

                  Thanks! It's not possible to tell how these things will turn out, and with a game that is random like angband, there's even less control over the domain.

                  Anyway Part 10 should be up soon. I may not be able to upload a video tomorrow, but I should get back in the swing of things on Tuesday.

                  Also, I'm going to update the ladder with the state at the end of the previous video so as not to release spoilers. So the state at the end of part 9 is up now.

                    The audio is super-low on the latest episode---I can just barely make you out with everything maxed and leaning into the monitor, so definitely something that needs tinkering with going forward any compared to the previous that were clear as a bell.

                      Yeah, I was using my fiancee's microphone as opposed to my usual headset which I didn't have with me this weekend. It seemed loud enough on my computer, so I thought it was fine, I guess I'll avoid that from now on though.

                        Part 11 will be available shortly. Sound should be back to its normal levels.

                          Part 12 is uploading as we speak (slowly because my internet connection seems to die every day between 10 and 11 pm for some reason). An interesting decision at the end of this video, although I think I've already decided what to do.

                              Part 14 has the first vault. This one is a little long.

                              I hope to record a good chunk of videos this weekend, but I will only upload one a day.
