Once during a job interview, when asked about an accomplishment I was personally proud of, I mentioned defeating Morgoth in Angband (the classic roguelike). I'll admit, not quite as hard as beating NetHack but it still required a lot of self control, because Cocky -> Lazy -> Stupid -> Dead.
- mihaifm 4y agoNice one, how did the interviewer react?
- jonnycomputer 4y agoI knew my play failed when the interviewer asked me what that was? and i got a blank stare when i said it was like Nethack.
- trhr 4y agoYou didn't want to work there anyway.
- jonnycomputer 4y agoi could have used the job, but no i wouldn't have been happy there
- schiem 4y agoThe assessment of Cocky -> Lazy -> Stupid -> Dead is spot on. I haven't gotten super far, but my last run ended because I saw a bunch of 'C' in the next room and didn't bother checking what they were - turns out gravity hounds have a pretty good stun lock. Out of curiosity, what class were you playing? For what it's worth, if someone told me they beat Morgoth in an interview I'd probably hire them.
- jonnycomputer 4y agoThanks! That's a classic scenario with the gravity hounds! I was a human paladin. Took me a while to find it, but here is my place on the Angband ladder: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=5859 http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=5859
