My patched NetHack binary keeps crashing on me. Now begins the long process of trial-and-error to see what's making it crash when it asks "Do you want to see your conduct?" upon dying in-game.

I think that it keeps crashing because of the Gold Dragon patch. rec.games.roguelike.nethack says it has something to do with a line of code but they didn't get specific with a fix.

Bah, I think I'll just compile without the gold dragon patch.

the other night
The other night I got to play Chrononauts for the first time. I bought the game a year ago but never got around to playing it. Now I'm disappointed because I can't get the special artifact card "Beatles Reunion Album". This promo card used to be available only in blank Fluxx cards but it's out of print and blank Fluxx cards no longer have this card.
in yer dreams
I was driving past a newly opened cemetery when I saw raddidge having a picnic. When I got out of the car she recognized me and waved me over to join her in lunch. There weren't many graves since the cemetery was brand new and not enough people have died to fill up the plots.

A tiger leapt from the bushes and ran over to me. raddidge was laughing and rolling around as the tiger pressed his side against me and started licking my face. After a few minutes of this, raddidge took the tiger by the ear and led him away. Later she explained this plot of land was the only place she could keep her pet tiger because it had a hurricane fence and only hurricane fences could safely contain such a powerful beast.

We went back to Malyss's place. Instead of living at Raisin Acres she was living in a house that reminds me more of Colorado Springs rather than something found in New Jersey. Small, sturdy and wide the house was very nice with a large front porch. Inside I kept getting raddidge and Malyss confused in my head. Malyss's ex-boyfriend who had his ex-girlfriend living in the attic was there. He tore into me about how I cheated on Malyss and how I was a piece of shit human being.

Minutes later we were duelling each other with meat cleavers. The rule behind the duel was to make as many clanging noises as possible rather than actually killing the opponent. Malyss's ex kept trying to kill me. The noise summoned Malyss's deceased mother who got between us, made Malyss's ex vanish into thin air sending the cleavers clanging to the floor then ordered me to leave calling me a Centauran. Suddenly I was aware that I was a centaur and wondered how everyone, including me, discovered my secret identity.

I left the house and watched my feet as I walked down the stairs to my parked car. This part of the dream was very realistic to me.
