I dutifully wrote up [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.games.roguelike.nethack/AIoc3LRGLeU Yet Another First Ascension Post] on rec.games.roguelike.nethack.

NetHack swept like wildfire through the Georgia Tech undergraduate community, particularly computer science majors, during the Fall of 1999. I played a few games, but didn't get drawn in as deeply as many friends. Over the next few years, most of the people I knew who cared about the game ascended, often many times, but I never even reached Medusa. Most of those years I played only a few games, if any, though I picked NetHack back up for a good week or so pretty regularly. Finally, the world's most boring business trip got me back deep into the game a month ago; when 3.6.1 was released the day I quit that job, it seemed quite the omen. Today, Saturday 2018-05-05 at 0440 EDT, Dank the Valkyrie ascended to demigoddesshood via NetHack 3.6.0 on the private gtf.org server.

I can't think of anything else I've wanted to do that took nineteen years. Thanks, DevTeam, for the Greatest Game of All Time. Thanks, NetHackWiki community, for a fabulous resource. I don't ever intend to play a video game again, unless I write it, or some future children demand it.
