** The [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|DevTeam]] implemented an immediate and savage punishment for pudding farmers. It's called Pudding Farming.
*** Also, nearly anything you'd accomplish with Pudding Farming won't help you on the astral plane.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: Many things in Nethack, including some of its [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]], are very subtle. For example, there is an enemy named the "quantum mechanic" which sometimes carries a box. Inside the box is a cat named Schrodinger's cat, which has a 50/50 chance of being either alive or dead. If you examine the game's source code, you will learn that the state of the cat is not determined until you open the box. Some fantasy items benefit you if you know the myths without even having read a spoiler: {{spoiler|[[Unicorn]] horns heal, clay [[Golem|Golems]] can be [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|destroyed]] by erasing their writing, amethysts (which literally means "not drunk") convert booze to water.}}
** Since the game has strong Unix origins, there's also plenty of jokes only a Unix/Linux geek would understand.
* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Nymphs, Floating Eyes, and Leprechauns, to name a few.
* [[Scrappy Level]]: Gehennom. Actually, 20 to 24 ''consecutive'' [[Scrappy Level|Scrappy Levels]].
** One of the many additions [[Slash
** Sporkhack completely revamps Gehennom by (a) giving the local [[Mooks]] some ability to actually threaten the player (b) getting rid of the mazes in favour of caves (with lava behind the cave walls).
* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]: Don't get caught using any movement key configuration other than HJKLYUBN.
