00:01 * Cepheid flops.

00:20 * Schism offers Cepheid a bowl of spicy corn. How much corn you consume is, of course, a measure of how you'll be treated in the afterlife.

00:21 * Cepheid refuses. Is having acid reflux problems.

00:21 <Schism> Ah.  Well, I meant this thing.  http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-1846

00:21 <Cepheid> I suspect I know what's causing them, but the direct cause of *THAT* cause is unknown.

00:56 <PinkieShy> hiiii

00:57 * Dappled reawakens feeling somewhat rested.

00:58 <Schism> Jaqlblep.  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EqMKDpxW8AgCha0?format=jpg&name=small

00:58 <Schism> Well, 'yoteblep.

01:00 <Cepheid> I don't know what's going on, but this is getting ridiculous.  Over a week now, constant, unending stress.  An unending sensation of "I should be doing something else." no matter what it is I do, and it's causing among other things, my acid reflux, a massive, cranial headache, and my body temperature is shooting so high my arms feel like they're burning, and I'm sweating profusely.  And nothing I do helps.

01:00 <Cepheid> It's primarily the headache and the acid reflux, along with the sensation of some cold, icey hand gripping my heart, that's getting to me.

01:00 <Cepheid> And it's making me irritable to a point where I feel my best choice right now is to go back to sleep, because I'm lashing out at people for no reason.

01:04 <Cepheid> ...

01:04 <Cepheid> What in the he-

01:04 <Cepheid> I just did some quick research on seroquel, that sedative I take at night.

01:04 <Cepheid> For bipolar treatment, you know what the doses are?

01:05 <Cepheid> 400-800mg/day.

01:05 <Ali> That's too much Bob

01:05 <Cepheid> And that's maintenance.

01:05 <Cepheid> So, continued usage.

01:06 <Cepheid> I take 50-75, maximum 100.  And that stuff knocks me out.

01:06 <Cepheid> I mean, yeah, I guess that counts as treatment.

01:06 <Cepheid> I'm always unconscious, so it's no longer a problem.

01:10 * Dappled enjoys being unconscious, he can ignore the pain of his poor body maintence.

01:11 <Cepheid> I would like to be awake to do things like game and such.

01:11 <Cepheid> Unlike the rest of the world which appears to collectively be wishing for death at this point, I still want to keep living, and despite all the bad going on, life is still good.

02:47 * Lumindia_ gives Ali a big hug, then departs for sleep

02:47 * Ali hugs but sads as she's alone.

09:52 * Golden flops.

09:53 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-1or23b.4nua.5fca.1702.2600.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

09:56 <Cepheid> Everything okay, Golden?

09:57 <Golden> Someone who has a tf2 item that was scammed off of me just added me.

09:57 <Cepheid> Block/Ignore them?

09:58 <Golden> I have no idea of their intentions. They could give it back, or maybe after my account.

09:58 <Cepheid> If they scammed you once, they'll do it again.

09:58 <Cepheid> And it's known that the trading system can be used in malicious ways, so don't trust them.

09:59 <Golden> Well it's not the same person who scammed me.

09:59 <Cepheid> Hum.  That's an interesting scenario.

09:59 <Golden> I know

10:00 <Golden> Hence why I am on guard about this for it literally can go any direction.

10:00 <Cepheid> If an item was scammed from you, the best choice here would be to contact Valve about it, and have them resolve the problem.

10:01 <Golden> Legitimately back when I scammed earlier this year when I looked into it they said they no longer roll back inventory.

10:01 <Cepheid> Hum.  That's nice of them.

10:03 <Golden> Yeah. Lost basically a 300$ unusual for the scammer managed to get my entire account. I got the account back, but every item that could be sold on the community market was gone.

10:04 <Golden> So low and behold my shock when someone who has my kill covered, festiveized, killstreak degreaser adds me.

10:05 <Cepheid> Honestly, I wouldn't trust it.

10:06 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

10:07 <Golden> Oh believe me I don't

10:08 <Golden> Months after I lose everything suddenly out of the blue someone who has an item that was taken from me appears. It is way too good to be true.

10:10 <Golden> They could give it back with no strings attached, ask for something in exchange, or taunt me with it.

10:11 <Cepheid> Or use an exploit in the system to get your account again.

10:12 <Golden> Yeah...that too. Argh there goes this night of sleep.

10:13 <AppleDash> No need for fearmongering. If such a thing existed they would target people with accounts values in the 10s of 1000s or more, and it would be patched very quickly.

10:14 <Golden> It's mainly from my mind trying to figure out every possible angle this person could come from.

10:17 <Cepheid> And yet, it has happened in the past, AppleDash.

10:17 <Golden> In different news I was able to get a Lopmon plush, a copy of Pokemon Rangers Shadows of Almia, Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs, and a friend their gift of Collection of Mana on the Switch

10:18 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/3encbe/an_exploit_in_steam_which_has_now_been_patched/

10:19 <Golden> Yikes.

10:20 <Cepheid> I've seen and heard a lot of weird shit with regards to the marketplace and trading.

10:23 <Golden> Subject change please. My mind is bouncing around as it is.

10:24 <AppleDash> 5 years ago :P

10:25 * NitroTheFurry suggests to change the topic to Paw Beans

10:27 * Golden bleps.

10:30 <Golden> Thinking of doing a platinum nuzlocke.

10:55 <Finwe> o3o

10:55 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony!

10:56 * Finwe hats on AppleDash.

10:56 * Finwe doffs himself.

11:03 <Cepheid> Hum.  Korea's Artificial Sun sets world record after running at 100,000,000 degrees for 20 seconds.

11:04 <Cepheid> When I was a child, fusion seemed like a sci-fi thing only.  Never thought that I might actually live long enough to see it become reality.  Might still not, but man, we are advancing in the tech.

11:06 <Finwe> Fusion has always been quite simple: collect enough hydrogen in one spot and let the gravity take care of the rest.

11:06 <Finwe> That's how stars work.

11:08 <Cepheid> Finwe, must you always do that?

11:09 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2157 [ https://tinyurl.com/y9fkzz35 ]

11:09 <Finwe> Do what?

11:10 <Cepheid> Be so damned pedantic and miss the point, possibly as some sort of terrible joke?

11:10 <Cepheid> Yes, fusion works in a relatively straightforward and simple manner, especially in stars.  But on say, Earth, in a fusion reactor, it's a bit harder.

11:10 <Cepheid> We have to contain the plasma, have it be self-sustaining, and while yes, bringing lots of hydrogen into a small area with gravity will do the work for us, we can't quite do that HERE.

11:11 <Cepheid> Because the gravity of Earth interferes among other things.

11:12 <Cepheid> The crux of the problem is the "self-sustaining" part.  We can supply the fuel, but so long as the system isn't self-sustaining and requires outside power to keep it going, it's useless.

11:12 <Finwe> With the amount of hydrogen needed for even a small star the gravity of earth is negligible.

11:14 <Finwe> True enough, we don't have that much hydrogen.

11:15 <Cepheid> Mmm.  I'm not so sure.  I would imagine having a planet next to a mass of hydrogen just about to start the fusion cycle might have some effect on it.  Though, the effect would probably not be very noticeable.  Mostly because by the time it's noticed, the planet would be scoured of any life on it.

11:23 <Cepheid> There's a number of variables that have to be dealt with on Earth for creating a fusion reactor.  Temperature, magnetic field of the Earth, gravity, appropriate fuel, getting a self-sustaining reaction, and initiating said self-sustaining reaction.

11:47 <AppleDash> It was both an obvious and good joke :P

12:25 <Schism> Golden: I suppose that Lopmon is a fine Digimon.

12:26 * Schism awakens, and yawns. Makes a cup of wake-the-dead coffee.

12:26 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-a6ggs4.tpgi.com.au)

12:26 <RazorSharpFang> Good evening.

12:26 <Finwe> Good afternoon.

12:32 * Schism sips the coffee. "Yes, this will help."

12:35 * Cepheid looks at the huge crater in this Ys game. "Ancient civilization. Huge crater. Hum, I wonder what happened to it, and where it remains NOW."

12:39 <Cepheid> It's interesting, this series.  From the get-go, the ending of Adol's adventures is already defined, heh.

12:39 * Schism watches Adol roll in circles.

12:39 <Cepheid> According to the story in the manual that came with the original Ys waaaaaay back in the day, he went missing on an adventure to the North Pole.

12:39 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:39 <Cepheid> Yeah, he's FAST at moving.

12:40 <Cepheid> To the point that it is *THE* way to travel.

12:41 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

12:41 <Cepheid> But yeah, all the Ys tales are technically in the past tense.

12:42 <Cepheid> The reason so many can keep coming out though is that his adventures are described in numerous books.  Hence the terms "Book I and Book II" for Ys 1 and Ys 2.

12:43 <Cepheid> Funny thing about his rolling, Schism.  Adol's rolling is so fast it DEFIES PHYSICS.

12:44 <Cepheid> If you roll down a steep enough slant, rather than sticking to the ground, he flies off horizontally off the ground a bit.

12:44 <Schism> Nice.  X3

12:46 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-mioavt.c2vi.m095.067c.2001.IP) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

12:46 <Cepheid> Hum.  I probably should have picked Nightmare diff.  Hard is...  Let's just say the only gameover I've had was due to me not pausing the game as I wandered off to eat food.

12:49 <Cepheid> Right, this place is paralysis heavy so... let's put anti-paralysis gear on.

12:57 <Cepheid> Hello, boss arena.

12:59 <Cepheid> That... wasn't really a boss.

13:03 <Cepheid> 1/10th our original size.  Can still bust up rocks and trees.

13:06 <Cepheid> Two slate fragments.  Gonna need these for SOMETHING.

14:15 <RazorSharpFang> Yep.

14:23 * Cepheid sighs. Is so tired of this.

14:24 <Cepheid> What part of "no get togethers" do people not bloody grasp?

14:24 <Cepheid> It's a lockdown.  We're not supposed to be visiting other people to get together on Christmas or New Years Eve.

14:24 <Cepheid> And yet, my uncle's family is inviting mine to a bonfire.  No.

14:24 <Cepheid> What part of this is so fucking gods damned hard to grasp?

14:26 * MoonyCopperEtAl .? …exit, stage left
