New curse just dropped

7 comments

Not a new curse, but very rare.

It's an homage to the days of floppy diskettes. Usually, when there was an unrecoverable disk read fail the system would make a characteristic grind-buzz-kachunk noise as the drive tried a hi-low track seek before stopping. Then it threw the dreaded error, "Problem reading disk. Abort (A)? Retry (R)? Fail (F)?"

It meant your game was cooked.

- Nice, learned something new. I’m not a fan of the curse wand artifact, or really half of them. Too many negative effects..
  
  ...it's called a curse for a reason. And I will note, at range a decent number are still usable attacks
- Wait, this was built in? I thought it was a bug, having lived through the A R F era.
Classic. I haven't seen that one in ages.
