I do. It's somewhat embarrassing, but I'm just not good enough to play without it.
I know what you mean about being less likely to die in a place that you have a vivid memory of dying before. But in this case, I was 100% prepared for it. I looked at my curse, looked at my golem, wondered if I should go back to town, summon the golem ahead of me or just walk through the doorway. I decided to prioritize efficiency because I was sick of going back to town to remove curses. I don't feel like I learned anything from the experience, all 3 options still seem equally bad to me.
Casting Attract around blind corners while cursed is a tactic I didn't think of and could be less problematic than the previous 3 options.
Yea, but I'm used to those rips also coming with learning. That's kinda what makes HC good, because you internalize your mistakes and become a better player over time. But in the case of this necro, I felt stumped and didn't learn anything until seeking advice in this thread.
It's not embarrassing to use save & exit, it's efficient! Keep using it. Going to town and removing curse is not bad either depending on how strong your char is.
