I resisted trying Nethack 5.0 for a while, but there is some good news:

"You finish eating the xorn corpse.  You feel less concerned about becoming petrified."

There's also a tutorial mode which should help anyone who wants to start playing Nethack after 40+ years of development.

In the words of Beaker, “meepwy meepowawy”.
Oh cool. Hopefully I will get around to checking this out. With any luck they have improved the casually screwing around until you die on level 5 experience.
But not you. I'm sure you will survive.
I have been enjoying the hell out of the 1,000+ changes, but even having gotten some Fountain-Demon wishes, I haven't even seen the Castle level yet. Cleared Sokoban a few times, got to Mines' end a few times, got wiped out on the Big Room level a few times...it's nethack all right. I've never really recovered from the Elbereth nerf, if I'm honest.
...I was petrified!

(Sorry - couldn't be helped.)

Also, thanks for the reminder. I do wanna give it a go.
Currently reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, which seems to contain some pretty explicit references to Nethack already just a small part of the way in. (We picked it up as the shortest book that would get us into a book club meeting at the awesome local horror bookstore as soon as possible)
Yeah - DCC is also having a real moment right now. So much so that I've seen it advertised _in other ads_. That's some impressive marketing fu, if you ask me.
I'm only like 55 pages in but it seems to owe a large debt to Philip José Farmer as well.
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with his work. I can say that DCC is way over the top. A caricature of the genre, imo. That doesn't make it any less enjoyable - just have to know what you're in for.

Baseball?, Jackie Robinson, dunno but sure sounds familiar, dunno, Huron and Erie. I had no idea Lake St. Clair was that shallow!
Think First Nations for #1. Jackie Robinson wore #42, but was called up at age 28.
Oh, right--Satchel Paige! Makes sense too, some pitchers seem to have remarkable longevity. Maybe I'm basing that solely on the long careers of the Niekro brothers, but I feel like there have been other pitchers with 20+ year careers.
One of them has the 1975 season listed as “Did not play - Eponymous Surgical Procedure”
Probably lacrosse. I’ve never met anyone who plays it and have never seen a match, but everyone knows it's official.
 

Our go-to restaurant for trivia unexpectedly canceled their contract in the middle of the season.  Too few customers?  I'm guessing attendance falls further on that night.  So we went elsewhere and triumphed over a much larger crowd!

Thank you for this. I'd never heard of him, but I read the entire wikipedia entry and I am sad now, in a good way.
hmm, Godfather I & II, Dog Day Afternoon, The Deer Hunter, and....
Very good! The remaining film from 1974 was perhaps given a sequel in “Enemy of the State” (1998)

For two of these questions I can't even guess the categories! The only one I think I have a reasonable guess on is Enrico Fermi.
#1 is from Beowulf, and another person from #2 was Peter Ueberroth. #4 tricked us, although my initial guess about its category was correct.
1 is the only one I knew.

Kenesaw Mountain Landis sounds like a blues guitarist, harmonica player, and composer of the song, "Crawled Through Forty-Five Miles of Coal Country To Find My Woman, And She Still Done Me Wrong," whose music can only be heard in the Library of Congress or on WXPN, or a professional wrestler.

I looked it up, and though I was wrong, I was not disappointed.



I also believe that Kenesaw Mountain Landis is the role that Austin Pendleton was born to play.
Oh, Max from the Muppet Movie!
