00:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: A New Synopsis for Equestria Girls: Friendship Games Has Arrived!  [ http://tinyurl.com/p53myx9 ]

00:00 <LightningCrash> I just don't know if the show is going to take that direction though.

00:01 <VinylScratch> It probably won't

00:01 <LightningCrash> It seems to be content with where it is right now.

00:02 <LightningCrash> But there was something... intangible present in Amending Fences that made me derive a similar sense of enjoyment from it that I got from those early episodes

00:02 <Lenfant_Sauvage> continuity

00:02 <VinylScratch> I thought it was more the characters and such that made it click for me

00:03 <VinylScratch> not so much the continuity element

00:03 <Lenfant_Sauvage> I think it has a lot more to do with that than you'd think.

00:03 <Lenfant_Sauvage> For one, the stakes exist.

00:03 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Moondancer's plight has full weight and meaning. You sympathize with her because, in a manner of thinking, she's correct.

00:03 <Lenfant_Sauvage> And the events that draw you to this conclusion already happened before, in previous episodes. A story is being continued and concluded in a good way.

00:04 <Lenfant_Sauvage> (The characters were REALLY good too, don't get me wrong.)

00:04 *** Joins: hawthornbunny (hawthorn@Pony-lfd.716.25.2.IP)

00:04 <hawthornbunny> Even Spike had a good outing that episode. He was doing what he does best: assisting Twilight

00:04 <Lenfant_Sauvage> I started watching Steven Universe last night and one thing I picked up on very fast - even though the episodes are half-length and kind of follow that standard 11-minute format of "one and done" stories...

00:05 <hawthornbunny> And snarking at her when she freaks out unnecessarily

00:05 <Lenfant_Sauvage> ... the status quo doesn't reset

00:05 <hawthornbunny> I've been thinking about starting Steven Universe :)

00:05 <Lenfant_Sauvage> It adds little nuggets of story little by little that drag you in as you keep watching, a world develops around it

00:06 <hawthornbunny> I listened to Calpain talking about it on the Bronyville podcast and it sounds really interesting

00:06 <Lenfant_Sauvage> When MLP develops its story, like it did in Amending Fences, it's fantastic. When it does something like the Troubleshoes episode (which I didn't find bad, really), it seems to be stuck in neutral

00:06 * LightningCrash laughs.

00:07 <Lenfant_Sauvage> In twenty-two minutes, what did you accomplish?

00:07 <LightningCrash> I forgot about that episode.

00:07 <LightningCrash> I totally forgot about it.

00:07 <LightningCrash> Was that really this season?

00:07 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Yep!

00:07 <Lenfant_Sauvage> We're four and a half seasons in and we still know nothing about Celestia.

00:07 <hawthornbunny> Actually I felt like it went in reverse for Appleoosa's Most Wanted.

00:08 <VinylScratch> I do feel like it's time for a proper Sisters episode, if not a Celestia one.

00:08 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Indeed

00:08 <hawthornbunny> Only Applejack, Braeburn, and the pegasus with the cool hat saved that episode.

00:08 <LightningCrash> As of the last episode, we know like, 10x more about Luna than Celly

00:08 <Lenfant_Sauvage> There's this AMAZING, HUGE world out there, Equestria and beyond, there's so many characters that have interesting motivations

00:09 <Lenfant_Sauvage> But every episode seems to exist in this little bubble

00:09 <Lenfant_Sauvage> s/every/many

00:09 <VinylScratch> I think they trapped themselves in it

00:09 <VinylScratch> and can't see their way out

00:09 <LightningCrash> I thought Griffonstone had like, everything you needed to be a good episode, except for the fact that Rainbow and Pinkie didn't change at all as a result of it.

00:09 <Lenfant_Sauvage> They don't know what they're writing towards

00:09 <VinylScratch> the season had promise of the cutie map, but...

00:09 <VinylScratch> it's just been sorta shunned aside

00:09 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Or if they do, it's "Here's our story. We'll spread it across four episodes. The other 22 will be uh..."

00:10 <LightningCrash> Filler

00:10 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Another thing towards SU taht I wwanted to bring up and I'm sure Vinyl will LOVE me for bringing this up

00:10 <VinylScratch> ?

00:10 <Lenfant_Sauvage> One of the main three female characters in SU is Amethyst. She struck me very similar to Rainbow Dash.

00:11 <VinylScratch> I don't really care about SU. XD

00:11 * VinylScratch shrugs

00:11 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Nonono, not SU. Dash.

00:11 <hawthornbunny> Hammerfist

00:11 <VinylScratch> I don't really care about Dash. o3o

00:11 <VinylScratch> So whatev's

00:11 *** Quits: Gaming_Sounds (Sketchy@strings.and.ink) (Quit: Bed!)

00:12 <Lenfant_Sauvage> She's stubborn, carefree, a bit crass at times

00:12 <Gilda> And a dork.

00:12 <Lenfant_Sauvage> well ya

00:12 <VinylScratch> x3

00:12 <Lenfant_Sauvage> But she has an episode where that's put into focus and at the end, while she's not "cured" of any of it, there's a big understanding between her and the other two

00:13 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Meanwhile she has this adorable as hell sisterly relationship with Steven... and that's kind of what I'm trying to look for in Dash

00:13 *** Quits: Coco_Nut (Coco_Nut@Pony-mdh9sk.as13285.net) (Quit: Leaving)

00:13 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Again, it's been four and a half seasons, and with nine other characters to curate, you've got characters like Dash whom have literally never moved

00:14 <DerpyBot> http://www.asl.dsl.pipex.com/symbolics/photos/IO/keyboard-9647.jpg

00:14 <Seoson> Well Dash has a sister like relationship with Scootaloo, even if they don't bring it up that often

00:15 <LightningCrash> But if it's not brought up it might as well not be there

00:15 *** Quits: SomeFrenchBrony (Antoine@Im.Frenchy.And.I.Know.It.fr) (Connection closed)

00:15 <Lenfant_Sauvage> If not something like that, she just needs something endearing to make me get interested when she does fall back into the trap of being stubborn

00:15 <Lenfant_Sauvage> hardcore tl;dr - this show reeeally needs a big, big push

00:15 <VinylScratch> It needs to get out of the complacency

00:16 <Seoson> I'm missing a lot continuity

00:16 <VinylScratch> it's gotten comfortable, and a little lazy.

00:16 <LightningCrash> The likelihood of that happening though is pretty slim

00:16 <LightningCrash> Because it /has/ gotten comfortable, and they don't really know what they're doing

00:16 <VinylScratch> I still enjoy it a lot...but there's no denying a lot of missed opportunities have gone by

00:16 <VinylScratch> and that's a shame.

00:17 <LightningCrash> I don't think about this a lot because it /is/ saddening. Because I /WANT/ this show to be fantastic.

00:18 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Me too.

00:18 <Seoson> I guess a few problems come from the way the show is produced. Having a few different writers that work on different episodes out of order probably doesn't help

00:19 <LightningCrash> The episodes just don't stick.

00:19 <LightningCrash> They're fun to watch, right when they air

00:19 <LightningCrash> but there's no real reason to go back to them

00:19 <LightningCrash> And three months down the line, you don't remember what happened in them because whatever happened hasn't made a difference

00:19 <VinylScratch> Eh, I've gone back to a few of the recent episodes via comementary vids.

00:19 <VinylScratch> I enjoy them enough to want to see others enjoy it

00:20 <LightningCrash> Me too.

00:20 *** Quers_Yardwork is now known as ProncessKurs

00:20 <LightningCrash> But that like, 15 minutes ago was actually kinda surprising

00:20 <LightningCrash> Because I had totally forgotten about the troubleshoes ep.

00:20 <LightningCrash> Completely.

00:20 <VinylScratch> Well, it wasn't the best episode

00:20 <VinylScratch> it was kinda meh - meh tends to be forgotten

00:21 <Seoson> I don't like fan commented videos. I'd love to see a "developer" kind of commentary as a bonus on DVDs or something

00:21 <Seoson> I really enjoy those blog posts revealing what has been cut and for what reason

00:22 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Lightning's got a point, though

00:22 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Overall... the episode didn't matter. It didn't do anything.

00:22 <Lenfant_Sauvage> And I think it was close to the first S5 hiatus too, which... that's really not helping either, all these breaks to force out EQG3

00:23 *** Quits: KandiGhostcat (yjtqsuhsevs@Pony-t5a.qnk.18.184.IP) (Quit: lightIRC.com Flash IRC Client)

00:23 <LightningCrash> The first hiatus was what, three weeks long?

00:23 <Lenfant_Sauvage> One or two

00:23 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Yeha

00:23 <VinylScratch> it was 1, then 2

00:24 <VinylScratch> if I remember

00:24 <LightningCrash> There's no momentum between the episodes

00:24 <Schism|Nocturne> LunaticHell: Something went wrong.  :<

00:24 <LunaticHell> ok, did you fix it?

00:25 * VinylScratch yawns and rolls off in the direction of bed.

00:25 *** Quits: VinylScratch (DJPon3IsHer@DJ.Wub.Wub) (Quit: Night all!)

00:26 <LunaticHell> Schism: do you have a twitch account?

00:26 <LunaticHell> Schism|Nocturne: why is there two of you, anyway?

00:27 <LightningCrash> I don't generally think about this show from a critical mindset though

00:27 <LunaticHell> oh hey LightningCrash

00:27 <LightningCrash> Like, I just really like it and tend to enjoy everything that gets pumped out

00:27 <Seoson> ^same ;-)

00:27 <LightningCrash> But at the same time, it could be better, and it would be really fantastic if it was better.

00:27 <LightningCrash> But those horses are just too cute.

00:27 <Seoson> Mentioning it because there is hope somebody reads it :D

00:28 <LightningCrash> Hey LunaticHell! What's up?

00:28 <LunaticHell> I found you on derpibooru, maybe. xD

00:29 <LightningCrash> Oh?

01:37 <LightningCrash> Ah, nice. ^^

01:38 <Tirek> I gotta set up those benefits when I've actually slept, though.

01:38 <Tirek> Can't say much more about it because I'm under NDA.

02:14 <Seoson> Yeah it slipped out of my mind ^^ MS is messing with accessibility features and I send them a bug report -.-

02:14 <ProncessKurs> win 10?

02:15 <Seoson> Yep. I'm on the RTM build. I don't expect them to change it but it's worth the try.

02:15 <ProncessKurs> 240? what's the problem?

02:17 <Seoson> I have a very low vision and therefore use the windows built in magnifier. When browsing drop down menus the mouse cursor jumps to the middle of the label which may sound good in theory, but is disorienting and prevents proper mouse movement in some situations.

02:17 <ProncessKurs> I see.

02:18 <ProncessKurs> Have you tried increasing DPI scaling? Might help a little.

02:18 <ProncessKurs> Not really what it's meant for but worth a try.

02:18 <Seoson> No. It just "teleports" the mouse. I'm a gamer and use very high DPI settings anyway.

02:19 <ProncessKurs> I mean the DPI scaling, try turning it up so that UI features will be sized up. It's not a solution to your problem, but might help with the eyesight thing.

02:20 <ProncessKurs> The uh, thing under display options that resizes text. heh

02:20 <ProncessKurs> There's also a new option in display on the control panel for just increasing specific things, menu bars is listed.

02:20 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Have you tested it with another mouse?

02:20 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Because I've never heard of that happen as a mouse setting

02:21 <Seoson> Only when the magnifier is turned on Lenfant_Sauvage

02:21 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Oooh, OK, gotcha, misunderstood

02:22 <Seoson> I could increase text scaling to avoid using the magnifier, but doesn't work very well with all apps. They should have just let it as it was.

02:22 *** Alice is now known as Togepi

02:24 <ProncessKurs> Yeah windows is bad for accessability and the UI scaling is still broken as hell. I use a macbook retina and the odd poorly-designed app that doesnt' scale is hilarious

02:24 <ProncessKurs> it's like a postage stamp!

04:30 *** Quits: TuxRug (TuxRug@TuxRug) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

04:30 <Snapai> Seoson, a lot of stores are discontinuing it, and the ones that adapt it basically just have a scanner right there that converts it to an ACH transaction, then they just keep the check for verification. Or hand it back.

04:31 *** Joins: Pi (Pi@Pony-ins.lfv.206.112.IP)

04:31 <Snapai> But you run into the occasional annoying thing that requires checks. Usually landlords who have always done that.

04:31 <Lenfant|StevenUniverse> To be quite honest there's really no reason to have a checkbook anymore

04:31 <Thelema5> I never carry cash, ever.

04:31 <Lenfant|StevenUniverse> Debit cards are way too common

04:31 <Snapai> I had a landlord that charged $3 extra if you wanted to charge it. >_<

04:31 <Thelema5> Check, certainly not.

04:31 <Lenfant|StevenUniverse> But... yeah, that's basically it. You use checks for rent and bills. Otherwise no reason to bother.

04:32 <Snapai> But yeah. I did two of these last night/this morning.

04:32 <Thelema5> The only use of carrying cash in most situations I can see is to keep $100 bill to bribe cops who pull you over for bogus infractions.

04:33 <Snapai> Hoping some more folks will pick it up - I got bills to pay, and I would like to have some spending money too

04:33 <Seoson> Here in Germany you either use debit cards, cash, bank transfer or direct debit. Even credit cards are uncommon.

04:33 <Princess_Dreamer> The main reason people resist plastic is because there's a fee associated with it for the vendors.

04:33 <LightningCrash> I've found that surprisingly

04:33 <LightningCrash> There's an inverse correlation between the size of the city and the likelihood they'll take EBT

04:33 <Princess_Dreamer> That said, checks are not common, outside of paychecks.

04:34 <Thelema5> I say screw the vendors- it another cost of doing business, like paying for electricity and warehousing

04:34 <LightningCrash> Out in the suburbs and in tiny towns in the middle of nowhere, they almost certainly take plastic.

04:34 <LightningCrash> But in the big cities, there are so many shops that are cash only.

04:34 <Princess_Dreamer> Even there, you can usually get direct deposit.

04:34 <Princess_Dreamer> Though there are a fair few people who avoid direct deposit for various reasons.

04:34 <Thelema5> LightningCrash, really?  Cash only, for simple transactions?

04:34 <Snapai> At any rate. Most businesses in the US are phasing out checks since debit cards do the same thing, and the transaction is checked against the balance immediately so you don't have to worry about bounced checks

04:40 <Princess_Dreamer> the average bank won't do cash withdrawals of that size.

04:42 <Princess_Dreamer> $5000 also works out to 50 $100 bills, because the Benjamin is the largest denomination of currency in print.

05:41 <Schism|Nocturne> Hey, anyone up for a game of Hedgewars?

05:41 <Princess_Dreamer> What's that?

05:41 <Schism|Nocturne> Worms, but free.

05:42 <Princess_Dreamer> Ah. hmmm....

05:42 <Princess_Dreamer> Let me save in Dust, and then sure.

05:42 <Schism|Nocturne> Great!  How bout you, Gladiolus?

05:45 <Princess_Dreamer> ...that doesn't preclude from playing Hedge Wars.

05:45 <Schism|Nocturne> True.  Snapai: WANT to play HedgeWars?

05:45 <Princess_Dreamer> (basically you have little dudes on a map with bunches of weapons and you're taking turns trying to kill all the other dudes)

05:46 <Schism|Nocturne> It's Artillery Combat.  If you're familiar with those games where you drive tiny tanks across the map and murder your opponents with artillery, that's the sort of game it is.

05:46 <Snapai> I wanna post the thingie I just finished for LightningCrash but Twitter is being dumb and not showing any tweets

05:46 <Princess_Dreamer> Like Scorch!

05:46 <Princess_Dreamer> AKA Scorched Earth.

05:46 <Schism|Nocturne> Scorched Earth.

05:46 <Schism|Nocturne> Yeah.

05:46 <Princess_Dreamer> The granddaddy of artillery combat.

05:47 <Schism|Nocturne> Back in the days of DOS, it was recreated as "Bananas", too.

05:47 <Schism|Nocturne> Or "Gorillas".

05:56 <init3> But it is chapter by chapter isn't it?

05:57 <init3> Gladiolus's story has 51 friggen chapters and my point is to automate the whole thing.

05:58 <Princess_Dreamer> Oh, I did it a while back.

05:58 <Princess_Dreamer> I was just waiting for the recruiting drive to conclude.

09:00 <Princess_Dreamer> I think Schism was out of airstrikes. I didn't know you had napalm.

09:00 <Cepheid> Funny thing.

09:05 <Cepheid> And you'll USE more complicated because boxes and circles are only so useful.

09:06 <Cepheid> Place a fitted box around a circle.  See the problem?  There's empty space which can result in a collision even when there isn't one with the circle.

09:08 <Cepheid> But then you got the projectiles.  They're not circular.  Some of them are rectangular.  And they rotate.  Thus you bring in AABB detection, which is a more complicated hit detection algorithm.  And of course, the guns.  Ray-casting detection.

09:10 <Cepheid> Point-polygon detection isn't notoriously hard.  It's easier than some of the more complex algorithms, but still up there.

09:12 <Cepheid> For some reason, the math I'm doing is resulting in incorrect values even though I'm doing the math correctly.

13:13 <Schism|Nocturne> I shan't be working for the next two and a half hours, but waking up ahead of time is an important benefit.

13:15 <Schism|Nocturne> Also, have any of you worked under a workplace which continually changes its policies, then yells at you when you don't follow them to the letter?  Because that's kinda where I'm at right now.

13:17 <Cepheid> Nope.

13:17 <Cepheid> Wait, yes.

13:17 <Cepheid> But then again that's because I got a bit defiant after the employer was being an *** to me.

13:17 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/623052388304318464 Also, Schism.

13:18 <Schism|Nocturne> Thankfully, in this particular circumstance, the employer is not being a [donkey] to me alone.  The employer is being a [donkey] to everyone.

13:18 <Cepheid> I was able to fix it eventually, but uh..

13:18 <Cepheid> Did you know that 80% of my breaker panel is unlabeled?

13:18 <Schism|Nocturne> I am sad.  :<

13:19 <Schism|Nocturne> Also, that's a fire hazard.  You should shut off all unnecessary devices and start labeling that thing.

13:19 <Cepheid> Yeah.

13:19 <Cepheid> I plan to do that at some point.

13:19 <Cepheid> Gonna get one of my parents involved.  Have one of them go around the house, find out which breaker I turned off, and then label it, etc.

13:19 *** SomeFrenchBrony is now known as SomeFrenchAFK

13:20 <Schism|Nocturne> If nothing else, create a spreadsheet, print it out, and post it next to the breaker box.

13:20 <Cepheid> I never did find the breaker for that bulb.  We ended up hoping we wouldn't get shocked.

13:20 <Cepheid> Only five items are labeled on the breaker out of about 25.

13:20 <Schism|Nocturne> I have been there.

13:20 <Cepheid> Honestly, I'm kind of concerned.

13:20 <Cepheid> Not because of the breaker panel.

13:21 <Cepheid> But because there's another issue with that light fixture.

13:21 <Cepheid> The light bulb sockets were too close to the ceiling.  The bulbs were touching that reflective stuff you see.

13:22 <Schism|Nocturne> Lo! He sees a blue screen, and assumes a driver failure - when it is the motherboard at fault after all.

13:22 <Cepheid> Both bulbs have heat-induced scorching on them, and one of them has actually melted some of that reflective stuff onto itself.

13:57 <Schism|Nocturne> what did he do.

13:57 <Cepheid> He and his co-workers regularly didn't have access to the machinery, so they'd lift them by hand and move them around.

13:58 <Cepheid> Go figure that one day he does this, and permanently damages his back.

13:58 <Cepheid> He's on permanent workman's comp because of it.

13:58 <Schism|Nocturne> Cracked vertebra?

13:58 <Cepheid> I never asked.  I just know the damage is permanent.

13:59 <Cepheid> He can get regular injections to deal with the pain, but he says they actually make it worse, so he just bears it.

14:21 <Cepheid> I still recall the first time I learned to ride a bike.  Few days later, I tried to avoid bumping into a car at less than a few feet per hour, failed spectacularly, and crashed, slamming my chest onto the side of the handlebar.

14:21 <Cepheid> Knocked the wind out of me.

15:07 <Schism|Nocturne> I am in absolute seriousity when I say 'GET IT.  GET IT NOW.'

15:07 <Schism|Nocturne> Or at least grab the demo, which will give you an idea of the game.

15:08 <ProjectCarthage> Isn't that the one that started out as a Sonic fangame, but grew into it's own thing?

15:08 <ProjectCarthage> I've been meaning to check it out for a while

15:09 <Schism|Nocturne> Oh, it's still very much a Sonic fangame.  Every inch of it is classic Sonic.  At the same time, however, it takes the original concepts and expands upon them, en masse.

15:14 <ProjectCarthage> Ugh, someone's trying to start more Drama on Derpibooru, look at this: https://derpibooru.org/940422

15:15 <ian> I couple weeks ago, three of us started teaching English, but one teacher turned out to be no good and didn't like it, so they sent him to another school with better trained teachers, where he just makes coffee and photocopies.

15:15 <ian> He's happier doing that, btw.

15:15 <Schism|Nocturne> Eh.  Drama.

15:15 <ProjectCarthage> I don't see why the SU vs FiM Fandom thing exists, can't both just coexist? The Steven Universe fanbase is getting Fan-Voices now, so the two are almost on the same page

15:15 <ian> Now, around that time, I lost my passport, but wasn't ready to admit it until a few days ago when I was absolutely sure it was lost.

15:16 <Schism|Nocturne> Don't caaaare about drama. Ponies be ponies.

15:16 <ProjectCarthage> I know, it's just really stupid to me.

15:16 <Schism|Nocturne> So ignore it.

15:16 <ian> Now the other teacher got in a bar fight on the weekend, and might get deported for all I know.

15:17 <Schism|Nocturne> ian: What...

15:17 <ian> The organization that hired us didn't get the proper visa, because that would require hiring people who have x years experience teaching English, and we have none.

15:17 <Thelema5> Is there any drama, ProjectCarthage?  I enjoy both shows and just avoid any silliness.

15:17 <Schism|Nocturne> ian: I hope that you shan't be.  o.o  You're certainly putting in enough effort...

15:17 <ian> They're afraid the police might investigate after this bar fight, add to that the fact I don't have a passport right now, and they won't let me, the remaining teacher, teach. So they're shutting down the summer school.

15:18 <Thelema5> O.o

15:18 <Cepheid> ...

15:18 <Thelema5> Sounds pretty serios, ian.

15:18 <Cepheid> Oh great.

15:27 <Finwe> Soccer is some weird abbreviation of "association football".

15:27 <Finwe> Yes.

15:27 <ian> Huh, I neven knew that

15:27 <Schism|Nocturne> Yeah, not sure where it originated, but that's legit.

15:30 <ian> They told us (me and the Canadian teacher who got in the fight) to teach it as football, not soccer.

15:30 <Princess_Dreamer> That'd be because that's the correct translation for the chinese form.

15:31 <Princess_Dreamer> Australia has Australian Rules Football, see.

15:31 <Princess_Dreamer> Which is not soccer.

15:32 <Schism|Nocturne> My employer has, for the last few months, changed things up time and time and time again.

15:32 <Finwe> No, it's more like rugby.

15:37 <ian> The co-teacher uses 'washroom,' I use 'restroom.'

15:38 <ian> He made the common phrases chart, so it has 'washroom.'

15:38 <Fall> I use "loo."

15:38 <Princess_Dreamer> I use bathroom.

15:38 <ian> I say "south," he says "soath." I'll admit I objected to that.

15:39 <ian> I use bathroom, but restroom is the slightly more polite version, that you see in restaurants.

15:39 <ian> It seems to be a similar thing in China, there's a word that means 'toilet' or 'bathroom,' then there's 'protect health room' and 'wash hands room.'

15:39 <Fall> If I ever own a restaurant, no matter how fancy, all the signs for the restrooms will say "Bogs"

15:39 <Princess_Dreamer> I'd have put a footnote:

15:39 <Princess_Dreamer> "Names for this vary wildly.

15:45 <Fall> It's common to call it the bog in the British Islands. It's not rude, but it's definitely the coarsest variant of "loo." Also acceptable: The johns, the jacks, the pot.

15:46 <ian> I can think of a coarser term, the only one in English that's not a euphemism.

15:46 <Princess_Dreamer> Yes, the more vulgar form of Crapper.

15:47 <ian> Ooh, someone in Beijing wants me to DM 5e D&D, but I had to tell them I've only DMed 0e before. We'll see what their reply is.

15:47 <Fall> In all forms, the correct phrasology is "on the," i.e. "on the bog" or "on the john," with the exception of the jacks. You're always IN the jacks, since it refers more to the room rather than the toilet itself.

15:47 <Princess_Dreamer> 0e?

15:48 <Princess_Dreamer> What was 0e though?

15:48 <Princess_Dreamer> Cepheid: Oh.

15:48 <Cepheid> Zeroth Edition. :P

15:48 <Cepheid> Otherwise known as "First Edition"

15:48 <ian> Like I said, the original D&D

15:48 <ian> No, 1e was AD&D

15:48 <Princess_Dreamer> That doesn't make sense.

15:49 <Fall> This is like when they decided to name Magic: the Gathering's 11th Edition "Magic 2010," or M10 for short.

15:49 <ian> After 0e, it split to AD&D and Basic D&D. Then there was AD&D 2e and various editions of BD&D, then there was 3e, 3.5, Pathfinder, 4e, and 5e.

15:49 <Princess_Dreamer> Okay...

15:50 <Princess_Dreamer> So you have 1e, AD&D, 1.5 etc., AD&D 2e etc.

15:50 <ian> There's no 1.5

15:50 <Princess_Dreamer> That's the Basic D&D that followed the original.

15:50 <ian> At the same time as AD&D there was BD&D which has its own lineage with even more convoluted names

15:50 <Princess_Dreamer> AKA I refuse to call it 0e because 0 means "null" aka "does not exist"

15:51 <ian> AD&D is often called 1e, so it's better and more common to call the original 0e

15:51 <Princess_Dreamer> I refuse.

15:51 <ian> Then just call it D&D

15:51 <ian> or 1974 D&D

15:51 <Princess_Dreamer> That's the name for the whole franchise, though.

15:51 <ian> Or OD&D, for Original. That's common too

15:51 <Princess_Dreamer> I could accept that.

15:51 <Princess_Dreamer> 0e is just silly, though.

15:52 <Fall> Anyhow, ta-ra~

15:52 *** Quits: Fall (Fall@silently) (Quit: )

15:52 <ian> I'd be happy if I got to DM while I'm here

15:53 <Princess_Dreamer> The 0 version is always "not actually existent yet." You can have 0.1, or even 0.0.1, but there's a non-zero in there SOMEWHERE.

15:53 <ian> The naming scheme is more arbitrary than you think

15:53 <ian> You're applying a meaning to 0 other than what the people who came up with that scheme meant

15:54 <Princess_Dreamer> They just hadn't considered the actual meaning of 0.

15:55 <ian> The actual meaning is the intended meaning

15:55 <Princess_Dreamer> Then I'm not actually assigning a different meaning.

15:55 <ian> You're assigning a meaning other than the intended one

15:56 <Princess_Dreamer> I'm not following.

15:57 <ian> The actual meaning is the one they intended, so it doesn't make sense to say they didn't consider the actual meaning

15:57 <ProjectCarthage> Ugh...Curse adobe, why isn't Flash and Illustrator easier to use.

15:57 <Princess_Dreamer> I get that. What I'm not following is how "actual meaning" and "intended meaning" are different from what I said.

15:57 <Princess_Dreamer> Zero = null.

15:58 <ian> They intend 0e to mean the edition before the one known as AD&D 1e. They don't mean null or not an edition.

15:59 <Princess_Dreamer> Right, but that's not what "zero" means.

15:59 <ian> In this context it does

15:59 <Princess_Dreamer> I'm saying they're wrong.

15:59 <ian> 0 is the number before 1

15:59 <ian> that's the intended meaning here

15:59 <ian> The actual meaning is the intended meaning

16:00 <Princess_Dreamer> Except that zero is also null.

16:00 <Princess_Dreamer> Which is the actual meaning of zero that they forgot about.

16:00 <ian> Words have multiple meanings, but you're assigning the wrong one in this case

16:01 <Princess_Dreamer> My point is that the naming scheme implies that OD&D does not exist, because of the multiple meanings of zero.

16:01 <Princess_Dreamer> Regardless of their intention, this is a thing.

16:01 <ian> No, it doesn't imply that. You're assuming a meaning that was not intended.

16:02 <Princess_Dreamer> You realize that "we didn't mean that, but that's what was communicated because of meanings of words that weren't considered" happens all the time and is a major basis of miscommunication?

16:02 <ian> Yeah, but you know what they meant and are intentionally ignoring it. That's not their fault, it's yours.

16:02 <Lenfant_Sauvage> OK, um...

16:02 <Lenfant_Sauvage> "0e" is a term I have seen exactly nowhere to describe AD&D

16:03 <Princess_Dreamer> Not AD&D, Lenfant_Sauvage.

16:03 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Rather D&D

16:03 <Lenfant_Sauvage> sorry

16:03 <Princess_Dreamer> I understand their meaning. I'm saying they shouldn't have called it 0e.

16:03 <ian> Have you seen the original D&D discussed, Lenfant_Sauvage?

16:03 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Yes

16:03 <ian> The term may not have existed until 3e, because numbers would have been less common before that

16:04 *** Joins: ElectricPsoras (Thunderbird@Pony-chto2q.adsl.tpnet.pl)

16:04 <Princess_Dreamer> The fact that zero has an implication of null is why I think that 0e should not be a term used to describe it.

16:04 <ProjectCarthage> Ok, what the heck, I can't figure out how to use either of these programs -_-

16:04 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Maaaaaybe because AD&D was the first real "popular" D&D edition and the one that preceeded it was basically just a forerunner, I dunno

16:05 <Lenfant_Sauvage> But this is kind of a silly argument anyway

16:05 <Princess_Dreamer> Basically I think the name is silly.

16:05 <Princess_Dreamer> And therefore refuse to use it.

16:14 <ian> No, it's only one of those that's hard on your liver, IIRC

16:14 <ian> Tylenol, I think

16:15 <Princess_Dreamer> I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, but, uh, just because a family does it doesn't mean it's always a good idea :D

16:15 <TimidClef> Ah, right. Acetaminophen is hard on the liver, ibuprofen is hard on the kidneys

16:16 <Lenfant_Sauvage> Your liver won't be too fond of ibuprofen either I imagine, it's the truck stop for most anything that the body ingests

16:17 <Princess_Dreamer> That is true, but not everything that the liver deals with strains the liver.

16:18 <ian> If I thought they both strained the same organ, I wouldn't alternate them every two hours any more than I'd take either one every two hours. But AFAIK they are safe to alternate.

16:18 <Cepheid> My liver probably isn't in the best shape.  Especially since a while back, I was actually maxing out on acetaminophen daily, to boot.

16:18 <ian> Also Ibuprofen is safer to go above the dose than Tylenol, I hear

16:19 <Cepheid> It would be, yeah.

16:20 <Cepheid> At doses approaching the limit of Tylenol/Acetaminophen, you start to develop various side effects.

16:20 <TimidClef> http://www.babycenter.com/404_is-it-safe-to-switch-back-and-forth-between-ibuprofen-and-ac_71854.bc

16:20 <ian> A friend of mine has a dad who is a doctor, and he'd give his son many times the recommended dose of Ibuprofen for migraines, I think

16:20 <TimidClef> On a short-term basis it appears that alternating can be okay, but long-term alternating can be rough on your kidneys.

16:21 <Cepheid> Heh.

16:21 <Cepheid> Tylenol, when I was taking the maximum daily dose, would cause me to develop a severe eye twitch.

16:21 <Cepheid> And because it also had a synthetic opioid in it, I also developed a minor addiction to it. >_>;  *Coughs*

16:22 <Thelema5> Long-term use of any nsaid is thought to cause liver damage, as well.

16:22 <Princess_Dreamer> nsaid?

16:22 <TimidClef> Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug

16:22 <Thelema5> Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen.

16:22 <Princess_Dreamer> Ah.

16:23 <Princess_Dreamer> also dangit.

16:23 <Princess_Dreamer> I just really looked at Fidget's neck, and now I can't unsee the fact that it should probably snap instantly.

16:23 <Thelema5> O.o

16:24 <Cepheid> Thelema5:  Unfortunately I need to take an anti-inflammatory drug constantly.

16:24 <Thelema5> Why not?

16:24 <Cepheid> The source of the infection seems to be related to inflammation.  So the best way to slow/stop it?  Anti-inflammatories!

16:24 <TimidClef> Dunno. Was just thinking of other words that fit the NSAID acronym

16:24 <Thelema5> The benefits likely outweigh the risks.

16:27 <Thelema5> Ale is top-fermented, I think; darker and more heavily bodied... lager is generally lighter and more hoppy.

16:28 <Lonercs> why? :(

16:28 <ADragonDreaming> Because hiatus.

16:28 <Thelema5> The show is in hiatus until later in the year.

16:28 <Lonercs> boo

16:28 <ian> I stopped at a beer garden in my hotel's parking lot this evening and ended up talking to the boss there. I was trying to say there were different kinds of beer, "black" beer (what the Chinese call anything dark), ale, etc. I pointed to the Yanjing (a lager) and asked what kind of beer it was. He said "yellow beer."

16:29 <Thelema5> A mid-season break, Lonercs.

16:29 <ian> Thelema5: you're right, lager is more refreshing, therefore most suitable in the summer

16:30 <ian> Since I'm here now, I don't know if I know more about beer types than most people, or if the Chinese know less. But the boss at a beer garden didn't know a word for lager, which I thought pretty amazing.

16:30 <Thelema5> Ian, stick with Tsingtao in the summer.

16:30 * Cepheid writhes upon the floor in agony.

16:30 <ian> Thelema5: Yanjing is similar, maybe lower quality.

16:30 <ian> But the beer garden was a Yanjing joint.

16:30 <TimidClef> Skip the beer altogether. Drink carbonated sake instead

16:30 <Cepheid> Ah, sake.

16:31 <Cepheid> I love that stuff.

16:31 <Cepheid> Think I may buy myself a bottle for when the parents leave.

16:31 <Thelema5> I susoect you're right, ian.

16:31 <Cepheid> Pretty sure they do.

16:32 <TimidClef> Oh, my bad, thought you were in Japan, heh

16:32 <Cepheid> It's more that the American cultures are pretty tame and bland in comparison.

16:32 <ian> Cepheid: I said beer culture. I know the Chinese like their baijiu.

16:32 <Cepheid> Everything tastes like watered down water.

16:32 <ian> Cepheid: no, the American brewing scene is the most avant garde on the planet. Europeans, the other main contenders, are quite conservative.

16:33 <Cepheid> No...

16:33 <Cepheid> I've tasted American alcohols.

16:33 <ian> You can't go by the cheap stuff you buy at walmart

16:33 <Cepheid> It's pretty bland.

16:33 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: not the mainstream stuff.

16:33 <ADragonDreaming> America is where the grassroots level innovation is occurring.

16:33 <ADragonDreaming> microbrews and etc.

16:33 <ian> You've tasted Pabst, or something that actually represtents the brewing scene?

16:33 <Thelema5> Tom Robbins describes all chinese beer as tasting like butterfly piss.

16:34 <ADragonDreaming> It's not all GOOD ... but it's pretty well known that certain parts of America are where to go if you want interesting and new.

16:34 <Cepheid> I don't remember which brews I've tasted, given that it was FOUR YEARS AGO.

16:34 <ian> I don't know who Tom Robbins is but what beer culture the Chinese have they owe to the Germans. I don't know much about European beers but to me Tsingtao tastes like a Heineken.

16:34 <Thelema5> Yeah, the US has a thriving craft beer scene which is creating some pretty innovative, quality products.

16:34 <ADragonDreaming> That said, beer culture is home to a lot of misplaced nationalism.

16:35 <ADragonDreaming> I think what actually happens is that people become accustomed to the tastes of THEIR beers ...

16:35 <ADragonDreaming> and then "different" gets equated with "not as good"

16:35 <Cepheid> Anyhow, I'ma go take a shower and see if that helps with this agony.

16:35 <ADragonDreaming> Personally I think all beer is nasty but that's me.

16:35 <Cephy-AFK> Aye, I'm the same.  I honestly prefer ciders or sakes, myself.

16:35 <Cephy-AFK> Anyways, back in a bit.

16:35 <ian> Yeah, Europeans have told me that American beers aren't beer because they dare to put stuff in it other than malt, hops, water, and yeast. Similarly, I think European beers are often boring for that very reason.

16:36 <TimidClef> I've yet to find a beer I really like. Although Tsingtao is good for sake bombers

16:39 <Lonercs> note to self: DRINK WATER AFTER DRINKING "Cider"

16:39 <ian> It'll be a different style than Japanese rice wine though.

16:40 <ADragonDreaming> Why does your design incorporate such a thin neeeeeeeck...

16:42 <ian> Not hardly though

16:42 <ian> It's so easy to drink

16:43 <TimidClef> There's something about the mix of the spice from the cinnamon and the ginger that is just so smooth

16:43 <TimidClef> which sounds like an oxymoron - smooth spice - but it works

16:43 <Lonercs> then I had bad fireball

16:44 <ian> There's only one kind AFAIK, maybe it's just not for anyone

18:48 <KandiGhostcat> going

18:49 <BonBon> Oh, highschool kind of sucks, and so does being a freshman. Good luck.

18:49 <BonBon> Once you get out into college it's much nicer.

18:49 <KandiGhostcat> how? i thought high school is suppose to be nice.

18:49 <KandiGhostcat> middle school was nice

18:50 <RightHoofGone> They lie

18:50 <RightHoofGone> It was ok

18:50 *** PinkiePie is now known as Fall

18:50 <Cepheid> I only remember nothing but being beat up, being teased, and being threatened in elementary and grade school.

18:50 <BonBon> I didn't like it. You're not able to choose courses based on interests yet, and there are a lot of dumb teen social pressures to deal with.

18:50 <Cepheid> As for highschool, because of all the previously mentioned, I opted to avoid going to highschool.

18:50 <Cepheid> I got a G.E.D. instead.

18:51 <KandiGhostcat> but you can meet a bunch of people and make some more friends

18:51 <Cepheid> Right.

18:51 <KandiGhostcat> but of course you can get bullie and what not

18:51 <Cepheid> I had no friends in school.

18:51 <Cepheid> Most people kept away from me mostly out of disgust.

18:51 <BonBon> I don't regret highschool, mind you, but it wasn't much fun. More of a thing to get through that made me better at a few things.

18:51 <BonBon> Aw, I'm sorry Cepheid...

18:51 <RightHoofGone> 10% of people are jerks

18:52 <KandiGhostcat> i can only make a few friends. but thats because i'm a social outcast

18:52 <RightHoofGone> A prominent kind

18:52 <Cepheid> The infection was in my ears when I was younger.

18:52 <KandiGhostcat> i've been one for a long time

18:52 * Snapai grumble

18:52 * Luna-XIV is a social chameleon when the moment calls for it, but much prefers own company

18:52 <Cepheid> So it was pretty visible compared to now.

18:52 <Snapai> Follow instructions to build package, including installing the build environment.

18:52 <Snapai> Build fails.

18:53 <Snapai> The reason? They skipped the part about installing a compiler in said build environment X.x

18:53 <Cepheid> And when I say visible, I mean it.  You could actually SEE the infection.  Drainage from it, etc.

18:53 <BonBon> Heh, lucky you Snapai.

18:53 *** Joins: FruitNibbler (FruitNi@Pony-gnrn1o.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)

18:53 <Cepheid> So people, not surprisingly, were a tad squicked and concerned about being around me during those years.

18:53 <Cepheid> But besides that..

18:54 <Cepheid> I also got bullied a lot for no apparent reason.

18:54 <Cepheid> So I didn't really enjoy school, and didn't really feel like putting up with any more of that treatment.

18:54 <Snapai> I mean. If it was Linux, I'd expect there to be a compiler installed. But this was instructions for installing Msys/MingW prior to building the softwar

18:54 <KandiGhostcat> and of course theres always the immature teens.

18:54 <Snapai> And the script errors with "gcc: command not found"

18:54 <Cepheid> Oh.  It wasn't just from the students, mind you.

18:54 <KandiGhostcat> immature teachers

18:55 <Cepheid> In one school, teachers were insistently treating me like I was the bloody devil himself.

18:55 <Cepheid> Granted that was because I was put in a religious school and I wasn't religious so yeah.

18:55 <Cepheid> So I probably had that coming to me in that regard.  *Shrugs*

18:55 <KandiGhostcat> i'm not religious either.

18:56 <Cepheid> Otherwise, the biggest issue was a math teacher in grade 8.

18:56 <Cepheid> Refused to teach me because of the hearing impairment brought on by the infection.

18:56 <Cepheid> Didn't want to raise his voice, or be clear with speaking, etc.

18:56 <Cepheid> Felt it was outside of his pay range.

18:57 <KandiGhostcat> bad teacher

18:57 <Cepheid> So yeah.

18:57 <ADragonDreaming> Lazy, really.

18:57 <Cepheid> I just didn't want to put up with that anymore.

18:57 <Cepheid> Especially since I had been through about four or five different schools by that point, all having the same basic problems in one form or another.

18:58 <Cepheid> Homeschooled via correspondance.  Graduated in two years time.  Went to college a few years later.

18:59 <KandiGhostcat> was college any better

19:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Gameloft Discord Update Officially Releases - Discord, Starlight Glimmer, Bulk Biceps, and More [ http://tinyurl.com/phnur6y ]

19:01 <KandiGhostcat> its best to be a social outcast then to be popular

19:02 <Cepheid> Socially, it's better.  People tend to be more mature.

19:02 <Cepheid> But anything you do during highschool or earlier has absolutely no bearing on it, in terms of social status, etc.

19:02 <KandiGhostcat> being popular sometimes is not the best idea

19:02 <Cepheid> If you're the "popular kid" in highschool or earlier, it won't make a danged difference.

19:03 <Cepheid> It's a pretty drastic change, the environment from highschool to college.

19:03 <Cepheid> At least, from what I've been told anyways.

19:03 <BonBon> About the only thing you can work on earlier is knocking out credits for the busywork freshmen general classes.

19:03 <BonBon> It's worth it, though, if you have the time.

19:03 <Cepheid> My sister went to highschool, so I only know what she's told me, and from what people at college told me.

19:05 <Cepheid> As for college/university, between the two..

19:05 <Cepheid> Depending on which field your going into, it may just be better to go with university.

19:06 <BonBon> What's the difference between the two? I thought they were the same...

19:06 <Cepheid> Especially with CS in my opinion.  College isn't going to do jack all for you in that regard.

19:06 <Cepheid> Higher degree, basically.

19:06 <ADragonDreaming> Not quite.

19:06 <ADragonDreaming> It's more a regional thing.

19:06 <Cepheid> And unofficially, more clout.

19:07 <Cepheid> Mmm.

19:07 <BonBon> I thought that anything which ended with an undergraduate degree was the same degree?

19:07 <Cepheid> Far as Canada is concerned..

19:07 <Cepheid> Undergraduate Degree is better than a College Diploma.

19:07 <BonBon> Must be a Canada vs. US thing, or I'm horrifically misguided.

19:07 <ADragonDreaming> Depending on which English-speaking country/region you're in, college might actually refer to secondary education, aka High School

19:07 <BonBon> Ah, gotcha.

19:07 <Cepheid> Which is annoying as all hell.

19:07 <ADragonDreaming> In the US, at least, University and College can be used interchangeably, except when referring to actual institution names.

19:07 <Cepheid> I wasted 10 grand on a college diploma.

19:08 <BonBon> And that's what I was doing. Now I understand.

19:08 <ADragonDreaming> The US system doesn't do college diplomas, far as I can tell...

19:08 <Cepheid> In the US, my diploma is equivalent to a University Undergraduate Degree.

19:08 <ADragonDreaming> you've got associate's, bachelor's, master's, philosopher's...

19:08 <KandiGhostcat> i dont know if there'd be any college that does jewelry. but i'll have time to figure that out in high school.

19:09 <Cepheid> All I know about my diploma?

19:09 <ADragonDreaming> KandiGhostcat: you're more likely to find an apprenticeship.

19:09 <Cepheid> It's three-years.  It's somewhere between a university Associate's Degree and a university Bachelor's Degree.

19:09 <ADragonDreaming> college courses are usually in the vein of business, science, math, education.

19:09 <Cepheid> Associates Degree is 2 years in Canada.  Bachelor's Degree is 4 years.

22:38 <Cepheid> And yeah, I'd be a bad spy, myself.

22:39 * Princess-Luna spies on ya'alls...

22:39 <Cepheid> Too honest.  To the point that it'd probably get me killed in the world of spy games.

22:39 <SweetieDrops> The dedicated combat hacker backdoored the commlinks of our targets.

22:39 <SweetieDrops> And then backdoored the personal assistant drone of the other target.

22:39 <Schism|Nocturne> Me, I'm the Face.  I'm the guy who swallows a load from the Johnson and yaks it up amongst my fellows.

22:39 <SweetieDrops> So we have everyone's email.

22:40 <Cepheid> Hum.

22:40 <Princess-Luna> Uhhhh, okay. o.o

22:40 <SweetieDrops> We're trying to figure out how to get a slumlord to stop charging 80ny month for matrix access (which the megacorp's contract provides for free)

22:40 <Cepheid> Schism|Nocturne, evaluate me.  As a Shadowrun character, what character setup do you think would best fit me? :P

22:40 <Princess-Luna> Blackmail. o3o

22:40 <Schism|Nocturne> Cepheid, you're totally the Rigger.

22:40 <SweetieDrops> Cursory inspection for that didn't turn up much.

22:41 <SweetieDrops> The main issue is that the Johnson wants it done in a very short time frame.

22:42 <SweetieDrops> We got the mission mid-morning Friday. Results expected by 9 am Monday.

22:42 <SweetieDrops> Our faces: :|

22:42 <Princess-Luna> Nuke 'em from orbit...I'll just swing by and grab some spare missiles. :I

22:43 <Cepheid> Princess-Luna:  Thermo-nuclear war is a last-resort.  Or first-resort.

22:44 <SweetieDrops> That's overkill.

22:44 <Princess-Luna> Best kind.

22:44 <Cepheid> I forget which.

22:44 <Princess-Luna> Gotta be sure

22:44 <SweetieDrops> Johnson also sort of wants the slumlord to be alive.

22:44 <Schism|Nocturne> There's no such thing as overkill.

22:44 <Princess-Luna> Just overpreperation

22:44 <Cepheid> Kill the johnson at the same time.  Steal his money.

22:44 <Schism|Nocturne> That never works, Cepheid.

22:45 <Cepheid> It should.

22:45 <Cepheid> Kill the target, take his money.  Kill the quest giver, take his money.

22:45 <Schism|Nocturne> No, killing the Johnson before they betray you just nets your party a a knives in the back.

22:45 <Cepheid> Kill the inevitable people-who-come-to-kill-you-in-revenge.  Take their money.

22:45 <Cepheid> Kill the police.  Take their money.

22:46 <SweetieDrops> Eventually, though, you run up against Lofwyr.
