00:06 <Finwe> Bitter Drops in English.

00:07 <Cepheid> I should go take a shower.

00:07 <Cepheid> But first...

00:09 <Finwe> You'll shake a tower?

03:21 * Ali noms on the Dappled tail tiredly, needs an ice stone but the diggers won't give her one.

03:21 * Dappled 's sorry to hear that. Gives Ali hugs.

03:22 * Dappled 's creeped above 81% total pokedex completetion.

03:33 <PinkieShy> I'm so tired of seeing all this stuff in the news :/

03:34 <Dappled> Turn off the news. It's not going anywhere for the next 3 months at least.

03:34 <PinkieShy> How can you turn off the news when the internet has the news everywhere

03:34 <PinkieShy> Heck its invaded my youtube feed, my twitter, my facebook..

03:35 <PinkieShy> Heck even VRChat people are talking about it

03:35 <PinkieShy> It's like in your face kind of thing at this point :(

03:36 <Dappled> Then you're going to have to stop being on sites where you know your feed is full of it.

03:39 * Dappled suggests pokemon as an alternative to being online.

03:40 * Ali names one Covid

03:41 <Ali> And no place feels save from this stupid thing..

03:41 * Ali noms on Dappled tail in annoyance, is waiting for wild area reset.

03:42 * Dappled brushies Ali.

03:45 <Ali> Just another hour and fifteen minutes till the wild area resets.

03:45 <Dappled> Is it a daily reset?

03:47 <Ali> Yes, the weather changes daily remember

03:48 * Dappled honestly just forced date changes to collect all the pokemon in the base game.

03:49 * Ali hisses at Dappled

03:50 <Dappled> What? Abritrary time limits like that bug me.

03:50 * Dappled didn't like the seasons or the day/night cycle in earlier games.

03:50 <Ali> I need watts

03:51 <Ali> And I cant get more than a set amount per day

03:52 <Dappled> You can always battle glowing pokemon. I'm sure the amount they give will be sure to help. /s

03:53 * Ali is very limited where she can go, and her mon levels are getting too high for her badge level.

03:54 <Dappled> Are you using traded pokemon?

03:59 * Ali shakes head

03:59 * Dappled didn't know that normally caught pokemon could disobey.

05:41 <Cepheid> Hum, ADragonDreaming, I think the remaining Guiding Lands regions are unlocked by doing the special investigations.

05:42 <ADragonDreaming> Makes sense to me.

05:45 <Dappled> Yeah, that broken horned kirin line is one.

05:47 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

05:48 <Dappled> Have fun.

05:48 <PinkieShy> Bleh..

05:48 <PinkieShy> Just had a convo about what is in the news with my mom on the phone now..

05:48 <PinkieShy> There is no escaping this :/

05:49 <NitroTheFurry> Uh oh

05:52 <ADragonDreaming> Yes. We are living through a series of Historical Events.

05:52 <ADragonDreaming> In the years to come there will be many PH.D's gained based on the events of this year.

05:55 <Cepheid> Particularly of the US, at that.

06:07 <PinkieShy> I wanna leave this country

06:08 <PinkieShy> Honestly wanna go to Canada or UK where my ancestors are from.

06:08 <Cepheid> Currently, the border between Canada and the US is closed.

06:09 <PinkieShy> ouch :(

06:09 <RazorSharpFang> Should have gotten out in 2016

06:10 <Cepheid> The border actually closed because of COVID-19.

06:11 <Schism> I'm halfway surprised it didn't close earlier, but one does need the rough equivalent of a causus belli to do so.

06:11 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/NICIkEt

06:12 <Schism> Also, hi folks.  I am annoyed.  I'm going to sleep in a few minutes, because today was not a good day.  Falling asleep or into microsleep every few minutes, not so good.

06:12 <Schism> Pff.  X3

06:13 * PinkieShy boops Schism

06:13 <Schism> After, of course, eating these beef pot pies with hot mustard and black pepper.

06:13 <Schism> And I suppose sharing one with PinkieShy.

06:13 <RazorSharpFang> I don't have that problem yet, because almost all my code is C#, so long as I don't do something terribly wrong.

06:13 <ADragonDreaming> Yeah, right now the only way to go to Canada from US is if you already have family in Canada. Even then, you gotta be able to quarantine.

06:14 <Cepheid> Alternatively, you say you're heading to Alaska, break the law, and go to wherever you actually intended.

06:14 <Schism> Geepers, isn't it interesting that the wave originated 14 days after HALLOWEEN.

06:14 <ADragonDreaming> There's not a whole lot of places that are letting people come into their borders from the US right now, entirely due to the rampant pandemic.

06:14 <RazorSharpFang> I'm surprised how well US Stocks are doing right now given everything.

06:14 <RazorSharpFang> X-million jobless claims? Lower than expected, stocks go up.

06:14 <ADragonDreaming> The Line is a beast unto itself, a trickster demon.

06:15 <ADragonDreaming> It whispers promises of wealth to all, but in the end only a few may make their profit.

06:15 *** Quits: Jackie_ (Jarva@Pony-n6j.omc.105.130.IP) (Connection closed)

06:15 <RazorSharpFang> Right now, I am making profit but I'm still losing to the S&P index.

06:15 <Schism> RSF: 4 years of blatant stability offered only in hopes that the monkey won't be playing the music box anymore, and corporate stocks grow.  Gee, who'd ever have thunk.

06:16 <RazorSharpFang> Oil stocks rose sharply when Biden looked to be the winner.

06:16 <Schism> Did I or did I not say 'blatant stability'?

06:16 <ADragonDreaming> I accord no logic but that of greed to the movements of the Line.

06:16 <RazorSharpFang> My investment in Exxon Mobil was really good. So did solar power and clean energy.

06:17 <Schism> Everyone needs power, and different groups _are_ looking into different investments.  Energy futures are pretty much a golden era, save for coal.

06:19 *** Quits: Jackie (Jarva@Pony-n6j.omc.105.130.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

06:19 <Cepheid> We're facing a dual crisis.  First off, we got the climate crisis.  Secondly, we got an energy crisis on it's way.  The two are interestingly linked.

06:20 <Schism> If you think that's interesting, wait til you see Factorio, which accurately depicts the climate change crisis, albeit with omnivorous bugs.

06:21 <Schism> (I say to Cepheid, who as we all know has never seen it herself at all, nor run a server.)

06:21 <Cepheid> I'd have preferred a grey goo scenario.

06:21 <Schism> Well, grey goo is a categorical democracy...

06:21 <Schism> oh god.

06:21 <Schism> Cepheid: Thank you for THAT little mindbomb.

06:22 <RazorSharpFang> I am still an advocate for nuclear energy, including thorium.

06:22 <Cepheid> I would invest in fusion, myself.

06:23 <Schism> I know it's not a popular opinion, but so am I, RSF.  I believe the long-term damage will be manageable, and much more sensible than THIS nonsense.

06:23 <RazorSharpFang> Perhaps, but I'd require a good proof-of-concept for Fusion power.

06:24 <Schism> We have fusion, but cold fusion requires a giantic block of ice and a sword sharp enough to cut atoms.

06:27 <RazorSharpFang> Currently watching a video about the 1929 crash

06:32 <RazorSharpFang> Hopefully there's fewer people trading on margin these days.

06:33 <Schism> Decisions, decisions.  RSF, should I put mustard on these pies, or should I instead add ketchup?

06:33 <RazorSharpFang> Barbecue sauce

06:34 <Schism> I will no longer be consulting you.

06:34 <Schism> Cepheid, what should I put on these meat pies?

06:34 <RazorSharpFang> Aw

06:34 <Cepheid> Barbeque sauce.

06:35 <Dappled> Okay, wild suggestion here, but hear me out. Ketchup & Mustard.

06:35 <Schism> Possible.  Also, I hate you both.

06:36 <RazorSharpFang> I'm still surprised how badly Intel is dipping. They've got solid CPUs, yet their stocks are down. Strange.

06:38 * Dappled grabs a summer sausage and cheese cubes. Snack.

06:39 <Schism> Know what?  One day, Jen said, "I'm going to grab three meat pies!"  And she did.  But she didn't know what to top them with.  She went to the first chatter, and they said, "Barbecue sauce."  But she wanted ketchup.  And the second chatter said, "Barbecue sauce!"  But she wanted mustard.

06:40 <Schism> So she just took all three meat pies and put ketchup on the first, BBQ sauce on the second, and mustard on the third, then mashed them all together into a culinary monstrosity.  The end.

06:41 * Dappled is just confused as to why BBQ exists in the first place. There are plenty of other wonderful condiments out there, how did that one become a whole genre of food.

06:41 <RazorSharpFang> It's strange to put "She didn't know what to top with them" and then "But she wanted... "

06:41 <Schism> Because decisions exist, RSF.

06:42 <Schism> If I still had some pea soup, I'd have picked up some really nice ones, plonked them down into the middle of the bowl, and slathered them with tomato sauce.

06:42 <RazorSharpFang> Why pea soup?

06:42 <Schism> Meat floaters.

06:42 <Schism> Meat pie floaters, I should say.

06:43 * Dappled is confused by foriegn cuisine.

06:43 * Dappled is also confused by domestic cuisine.

06:43 <Cepheid> Nose must be bleeding.  I smell something metallic.

06:43 * Schism passes Dappled some hummus with naan?

06:44 * Dappled doesn't know what that is... Wait... Naan? I have naan bread? Is same thing?

06:44 <Schism> Yes, naan!  That!  And hummus is just crushed chickpeas and crushed sesame seeds.

06:44 * Dappled munch munch munch.

06:45 <Dappled> Naan was suggested to me because I need soft things since mouth surgery.

06:45 <Dappled> Is good.

06:45 <Schism> (mixed together with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, asparagus, and sixty thousand other ingredients.)

06:45 <Dappled> So it's gumbo? Or curry?

06:46 <Schism> No, it's more of a dip or sauce than it is a soup or stew.

06:46 <Schism> Pita and hummus also consitutes a complete protein source, so while it's fatty, you can get what you need from it.

06:47 <Schism> All those 60,000 ingredients were me suggesting that you can choose alternatives, when it comes to something so bland, and add your own herbs, spices, and rat poison.

06:47 *** Quits: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

06:47 <Schism> (Though typically salt, pepper and lemon juice is suggested, as is garlic.)

06:47 <Dappled> Right. Like how you make gumbo or curry. Many different ingredients still the same dish.

06:48 <Schism> Yeah, but it's a thicker-- [flashes back to the times she's had curry] -- homogenous concoction.

06:49 <Schism> It could qualify as a curry, though.

06:50 <Dappled> The culinary arts are weird. And i'm pretty sure require prestige classes.

06:51 * Dappled eats box mac and cheese a lot.

06:52 * Schism applies ketchup to Dappled's mac 'n' cheese.

06:53 * Dappled is horribly confused... Has lasagna now? Cheese, tomatoes, and noodles... Yup. Lasagna.

06:53 <Schism> Culinary arts are weird, but sometimes you can make something fantastically tasty without requiring special knowledge.  Just because it looks like roadkill on a highway doesn't make it unpalatable.

06:53 <Schism> Dappled: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/a-kraft-y-favorite-ketchup-topped-mac-and-cheese-2015-03-25

06:53 <Dappled> I mean, that's how my aunt hunts. Not going to let perfectly good deer go to waste.

06:54 <Schism> You should send her a recipe for a tourtiere.  Veal is the traditional filling.

06:54 <Schism> Wait, not veal.

06:54 <Schism> Venison, that's the one.

06:55 * Dappled sees people talking about crusty mac and cheese. Sounds like they don't know how to cook it properly.

06:55 <Dappled> You don't put it in the oven. You add the cheese after the noodles are boiled.

06:56 * Dappled is also getting used to not living paycheck to paycheck. Can actually afford better food now, but is still attempting to expand beyond his poor person palate mentality.

06:56 <Schism> You... what?  No.  You boil the noodles, add the cheese sauce, mixed vegetables, and probably spice, let them cook together for a few, pour them into a casserole dish, and top with a mixture of cheese and breadcrumbs, before broiling the lot so that the mixture forms a crust.

06:57 <Schism> After making sure the bottom of the dish is lined with that same cheese-and-breadcrumb mixture...

06:57 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

06:57 * Dappled heard like an hours cooking time and 3 times as many dishes to clean.

06:57 * Schism is also le poor. She hums.

06:58 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:58 <Cepheid> Hoi.

06:58 * Schism also gnaws on ConfusionRift. "70% weapons. That's all I need. WHY DO THEY NEED SO MANY RARE MATS?! I want to sleep."

06:59 <Cepheid> Schism, start using your investigations.

06:59 <Schism> Bloodstained.

06:59 <Cepheid> Start by going to the resource center, sort the investigation by special rewards.

06:59 <ConfusionRift> That's how it always is. Either the weapon is rare, or the material to make it is just as rare.

06:59 <Cepheid> Oh, that game.

06:59 <Schism> Cepheid, I have so many investigations that I have to pick-and-choose at my current HR.

07:00 <Schism> Got 100% on Bloodstained's *checks fingers* Monsters, even that stupid TRAIN one, *check* Shards, even that stupid 8-bit one, *check* MAP, thank you very much, *check* Special attacks, and now...

07:00 * Dappled 's just glad that all the event quests are opening up. Having to rely on playing all the time/paying attention to the event quest schedule to get stuff is annoying.

07:01 <Schism> Also 100% Bloodstained foods, but that's a given.

07:01 <Cepheid> The best way to handle the investigations list is to simply sort by special rewards, then pick investigations with individual targets, and high numbers of gold and silver rewards.  Then discard the rest.

07:02 <Schism> That's basically what I'm doing.  Also, discard lower-rank ones.

07:02 <Cepheid> I regularly get one cupper, 4 gold investigations.  I keep those.

07:02 <ConfusionRift> Dappled: Heard about that, which is awesome.

07:02 <Cepheid> I also keep the 1 copper, 2 silver, 2 gold, etc.

07:03 <Cepheid> Yep.  In early December, all event quests are permanently active, seiges rotate on a bi-weekly basis, have 1- and 2-player difficulties, and all the festival tickets are meldable.

07:04 <Cepheid> So if you missed a festival, you'll still be able to get it's gear and layered armor, now.

07:06 <Schism> I admit, that's something to look forward to...

07:07 <Schism> Urehg.  I'm also tempted to reopen Bloodstained and continue farming for every weapon in the game, that I might get BiS for each category.  However, I am DONE.  I am DONE for the day.  

07:07 <Schism> ... once I'm done this bowl of muesli.

07:08 * Schism randomly waves to Finwe, as if doing so would summon him.

07:15 * Dappled tries to decide which game to dump many hours into next...

07:15 <ConfusionRift> Does the same, sorta.

07:15 * ConfusionRift does the same, sorta.

07:15 * ConfusionRift derps, then thuds.

07:16 <Schism> I've heard (seen) good things of Noita.

07:16 <Schism> But you wouldn't want to play that to excess, of course.

07:16 * ConfusionRift stares at Schism.

07:16 <Schism> Epic Game Store will have Elite: Dangerous on for free later this week.

07:16 * Schism stares back at ConfusionRift. o.3

07:17 * Dappled 's kinda meh on E:D since they said ground combat was going to be somewhere between Arma and CoD.

07:17 <Schism> Eh, so long as it's optional, that's fine.

07:17 <ConfusionRift> Well, the game was gonna be more about the space shenanigans.

07:17 <Dappled> All things are optional. Some are just more so.

07:19 <Schism> Baba is You, perhaps?

07:19 <Dappled> Baba is not me, I am me.

07:20 * Dappled boots up FTL>

07:20 <Dappled> Or not...

07:20 <Schism> {Dappled} is {Push}

07:20 * Dappled goes back to staring at library.

07:21 <Schism> Do you like puzzlers, Dappled?

07:21 <Dappled> Sometimes? Right now I think I need something more action focused. I'm coming down after 100%ing Hades.

07:22 <Schism> Hmm.  You could always run a Zelda 3 randomizer.

07:22 * Dappled hasn't put in the time in any zelda game to handle a randomizer.

07:26 <Schism> Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet?

07:26 * Dappled never heard of it. Looks it up.

07:27 <Schism> Or I suppose you could just play an aRPG like Path of Exile.

07:27 * NitroTheFurry knows that one

07:27 <Schism> Me, I'm going to sleep.

07:28 * Dappled can't handle sphere grids. I want to put points everywhere, but instead I have to chard out abilities and stuff.

07:31 <NitroTheFurry> Well, there's always build guides you can foow

07:32 <NitroTheFurry> Follow*

07:32 * ConfusionRift patpats Schism. "Have a good one."

07:55 <PinkieShy> heh

07:55 <PinkieShy> Never seen my GPU get that temperature ever

07:55 <PinkieShy> 62C in a world i was hitting 93fps

08:03 <Finwe> o3o

08:03 * Finwe hats on Schism.

08:04 <Finwe> I was installing some OS updates which effectively prevented me from observing the earlier gestures.

08:05 * Finwe noms on Twilight_Sparkle's tail.

08:05 <Finwe> !twilight time

08:05 * DerpyBot bounces around in front of Twilight_Sparkle

08:05 <DerpyBot> Twilight time, Twilight time!

08:05 * PinkieShy puts a top hat on Finwe and then installs a blue bowtie

08:05 <Finwe> Twilight time!

08:08 <Finwe> https://www.christys-hats.com/luxury-black-fur-felt-melusine-taller-top-hat

08:08 <Finwe> I should get one of those.

08:09 <Dappled> Hmmm. Box Mac and Cheese with hot dogs cut up in it.... I should eat that.

08:10 <NitroTheFurry> Yes

08:34 <Dappled> This is the correct answer.

11:27 <uni> good evening, RAdm. Finwe

11:28 * uni hats on Finwe

11:29 <Finwe> Cpl uni.

11:29 <Finwe> o7

11:29 <uni> hehe I have a rank now~

11:31 <Pony|52533> ты дома, что ли?

11:31 <Pony|52533> are you at home or what?

11:32 <uni> speaking to me?

11:32 <Finwe> uni: Rate, not rank.

11:33 * uni boops Finwe on the nose! Cross-service exchange!

11:33 <Pony|52533> talk, yes.

11:34 <Finwe> Oh, in the army it would be "Other Rank", or OR.

11:34 <Finwe> In the navy, all below WOs are rates.

11:35 <uni> yes, yes, sorry for being one of the great unwashed enlisted masses

11:35 <uni> hehe

11:35 <Pony|52533> chimera is a werewolf.

11:35 <uni> anyways off to dinner now~

11:35 <uni> probably should have popped on after eating, but ah well

11:36 <Finwe> Corporal corresponds to Leading rating in the navy.

11:36 <Pony|52533> werewolf, will you fit?

11:36 <uni> ooh does the navy have corporal, first class?

11:37 <Pony|52533> the werewolf will eat you.

11:37 <uni> okay like the RSN does, cos the ranks are the same throughout the whole SAF

11:38 <Pony|52533> bytes, belly and werewolf.

11:38 <Finwe> uni: No, the rates are Able seaman, Leading rate, Petty officer, Chief petty officer, Warrant officer class 2 and Warrant officer class 1.

11:39 <Pony|52533> transform.

11:40 <Finwe> Then you have the ranks, Officer Cadet, Midshipman, Sub-Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, Captain, Commodore, Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, Admiral and Admiral of the Fleet.

11:40 <Pony|52533> chimera, volvo and werewolf.

11:41 <Finwe> Our navy has no captain's rank at all, neither lieutenant commander.

11:42 <Finwe> We have lieutenant captain and commander captain instead.

18:28 * Cepheid pokes around with CB, mostly figuring out the best way to configure mouse for using it.

18:29 <Cepheid> I should assign one of the 12 side buttons to Guard + Secondary.

18:29 <Cepheid> To make it a single button to charge the phials.

18:29 <ADragonDreaming> Trying to get a handle on it?

18:29 <Cepheid> Yeah.

18:30 <Cepheid> By the way, I noticed an attack that causes the shield to start glowing.  What's that do?

18:30 <ADragonDreaming> what's the sequence/command?

18:30 <Cepheid> Oh, it's right here in the manual for the weapon.

18:31 <ADragonDreaming> If it's Amped Elemental Strike -> cancel to morph-slash, then that's activating the Elemental Boost mode (I think that's what it's called)

18:31 <Cepheid> It's called Axe: Elemental Boost Spinning Slash.

18:31 <Cepheid> And yeah, Elemental Boost mode.

18:31 <Cepheid> Increases elemental damage in axe mode, and guarding.

18:32 <ADragonDreaming> Also turns Amped Elemental Strike into Super-Amped Elemental Strike, which is the big overhead swing that then creates a wave of explosions.

18:32 * Cepheid would like to try mastering the various weapons, just 'cause.

18:32 <ADragonDreaming> The more phials you have loaded when you activate Elemental Boost, the longer Elemental Boost lasts.

18:32 <Cepheid> It's fine to master one weapon, but after a while it can get a bit boring.

18:33 <ADragonDreaming> I know the wiki calls CB the most complex melee weapon, but I don't find it all that complex? It has modes that you switch between, but the moveset within those modes is straightforward.

18:34 <Cepheid> Man, one thing I dislike about Logitech's G-hub software is that it likes to autoswitch profiles as you move between applications.  This includes switching away from an application to the desktop.

22:16 <Cepheid> Essentially, my testing reveals the following for MHWorld's steamworks:  Just do 1-2-3.  Any other approach will invariably lead to less successes overall.

22:32 <Cepheid> Hell, even if you generated sequences with the same probabilities as they are generated, your success rate will STILL be lower than just repeatedly using 1-2-3.

22:32 <Cepheid> So, simplest approach?  Just hold the "auto" button.  That, or cheat.

22:33 <Cepheid> At which point, why even bother?  Just cheat in the items you want.

22:35 <ADragonDreaming> depends on ease.

22:37 <Cepheid> True.

22:37 <Cepheid> That said, I'm not going to investigate how easy it'd be to create a tool to show what the sequence is.  'Sides, I'm pretty sure someone already made a mod that does that anyways.  Also, cheating.
