Oh, and massive thanks to Nick and everyone who worked on this new version! Crazy that this game still has so much love after so many years!

Oh man. I'm still learning the ropes with the new hunger mechanic. Not the most intuitive thing, but I'm getting there
. I guess 90 % is where you get overgorged and slowed down. I guess that percentage is the fill rate of the stomach and 100% is obviously painful. Mild green font does not really reflect this very well, maybe a more dramatic color would work better.
A thought to consider. Would it be an idea to warn the player, when @ is going to eat something that will overgorge him? Ask for confirmation or something. That speed penalty is a killer.Comment

“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

Indeed. It does not even need to be one of the big guys out there. I got into trouble with a measly kobold when I was suddenly slowed down after quaffing some healing! It's an interesting mechanic, but not very intuitive imho. Not exactly sure how it could be simplified or made clearer, but in it's current state, I find it a bit challenging.Comment

In a fight with a blue ooze, my blackguard got a shield bash in. The following log says that the ooze is stunned and right after that it says the ooze is unaffected. The question is, unaffected from what? Can shield bash do something on top of stunning or something? The character is a lvl 6 beginning character that has absolutely nothing special on him.

I haven't played a whole lot on 4.2.0, but I rather like the new hunger representation. I too was caught off guard the first time I got slowed by eating, but thankfully in my case I was in town at the time. I don't think this is such a bad thing, as Angband has a fair number of things that you don't know until it bites you once.
I like the increased number of different foods too. It feels much more like foraging than just finding random stuff, even though it actually is finding random stuff. :PComment

Why does a draught of the Ents provide no nourishment?“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school.

Managed to shield bash a yellow worm mass. As a result the worm mass is stunned and looks confused I wonder what that would look like?

A couple of questions about the shriekers.
1. They seem to haste themselves by shrieking. Is that the way it should be?
2. Judging by the messages they seem to haste to infinity, since the subjects look "even faster" over and over again. Is it so? Are they getting faster every time the shrieker shrieks?Comment

Depends on the variant. In old variants, SHRIEK just added 10 to speed, so yes. In newer variants, it adds to a haste counter, just like the one for the player.Comment
