Anyone know why the skip over 4.x, or have any insight into how much play has changed as well as infrastructure?
Perhaps using those graphics for Nethack would be interesting. I think we could remove FAST mode.
Generally with such ideas several people thought and implemented it 20 years ago.

And here I thought I was safe from losing months to escapism like I did in the 2000s (learned to ascend with every class though!) Anyone know why the skip over 4.x, or have any insight into how much play has changed as well as infrastructure?
I've been playing on and off for 15 years, sometimes daily for months on end. The deepest I managed to go is level 11, and as soon as I enter the Big Room, I die. In fact, I went past level 8 for the first time this year. I've read all of the NetHack wiki back and forth. I don't have the slightest idea what I'm doing wrong or how to improve.
