    This game looks so insane. The fact you're a slug covered in hands is unrelated to the story. You seem to have faces removed from your own clones equipped on your own faces? You nonchalantly scroll past a blueprint on how to make something called a "Hand-E-Nuke"???? The cult HAS TURTLES IN IT?????!!!!!!!

      Don't forget the fact that they are a slug because they likely befriended a giant slug in a sewage dump underground and was given the knowledge to cook a meal that turned them into said slug.

      This is the _least_ of what this game is capable of.
      The wiki for it has a topic specifically for "Animatable Furniture." He wasn't kidding about wanting to turn that door in the beginning into the ultimate bodyguard.
      And you can _switch minds with it._ Why lead the invincible door when you can _become_ the invincible door?

    Destroyed by my own hubris could easily be Qud’s tagline. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought “Wow I’m a god!” Followed shortly after by “And now I’m dead!”

    It's a tough lesson I've recently learned myself. ALWAYS be aware of what's happening when you're looting or meditating.
    Sometimes, just sometimes, something will run in from the next zone over and end your entire career.

    After a run that made it through the entire (current) main quest line, I did not at all expect that the most powerful opponent would be.... a hendecasludge. Not even giant salt krakens strike as much terror...

    This game is an embodiment of "I do not think I expected to hear this combination of words in this order and this context."
    And I fucking love it
    Seduct a banana
    subject the soup to religious propaganda
    Use drugs to befriend the pope, using him as psychic sniper
    Send the frog in the alternate universe
    Pet a sentient chair and ask it to kill a bear
    Turn into the sun
    Drink soup and vomit out a sentient being

    This is why I always prioritize heat resistance, then cold, acid and electric. Resistances trivialise many dangerous creatures and weapons. The weathered skill and the fur mutation are great to get a headstart.

    I'm here looking at how I just nabed a mod to start as a snap-jaw (I just really wanted to be a yeen when I realized they existed) got a shotgun. Current plan is to just get the ability to make ammo and meander my unskilled ass though qud. Min wiki diving has given me fun plans. But otherwise the qud antics of finding weird shit and doing em is the plan. (If the snapjaw dies I have a mod so our beloved watervine farm town exists even if I start in other places.

      If you get the block skill it allows you to block one additional attack per turn per shield. Other than that it will only try once with your best shield.
