[[File:Ascension-small.png|center|First 3.6.x ascension on gtf.org]] | |||
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. | NetHack swept like wildfire through the Georgia Tech undergraduate community, particularly computer science majors, during the Fall of 1999.
