04:13 * Sour_Sweet applies red socks to wobniaR

04:15 <Sour_Sweet> I wonder if ponies buy socks in pairs or if they get like 4 with one purchase. Interesting questions yet to be answered.

04:15 <Sour_Sweet> Stay tuned for more :P

04:16 <Electron> They buy them in quartets.

04:17 <Sour_Sweet> But some ponies wear socks only on their back hooves.

04:27 <Schism> "So, yeah, my weakness is mittens."

04:28 <Schism> I'm going to say... not so much.  I would furthermore suggest that while socks coat most of the hoof, it doesn't cover the frog, which is where the zero-range TK field actually applies.

05:42 <Schism> <insert dollar pun here>

05:42 <wobniaR> You stop right there

05:43 <Schism> Could be worse.  Up here in Canadia, we don't have dollar bills, we have dollar coins.

05:44 <wobniaR> We have dollar coins too but i had $100 and $20's in said picture

05:45 <wobniaR> Enough to buy Sour_Sweet a lifesize Luna plush and ship it to him

05:45 <Schism> I'm trying to come up with a good 'bankroll' pun, but nope, totally blank. Oh well.

05:46 <wobniaR> Good, wait

05:47 <Schism> Of course, in Canada, that would look like a nice cabbage salad with onion.

05:47 <Schism> Up here, we play with Monopoly money.

05:55 <wobniaR> I'm about to silence my phone overnight

05:55 <Schism> And the folks in the US still use pennies for some reason.  Despite that the copper costs more than the cent.

05:55 <wobniaR> Reasons

05:56 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

05:57 <Filly_Nightmares> Well, pennies only have a coating of copper.

05:57 <Filly_Nightmares> Pretty sure the core is zinc.

05:57 <Schism> Oh, I know, a copper plating, with... I think a nickel and zinc base.

05:58 <Filly_Nightmares> Yis

05:58 <Starwatcher> copper is $$$ here

05:58 <Starwatcher> people steal that stuff

05:58 <Schism> I know for a fact that it's copper and zinc, because if you douse a nicked penny in acid and then hold it over a bunsen burner, you get a lovely brass sheen.

05:59 <Filly_Nightmares> Yup

06:55 <Schism> Is this a good way to pose a letter to a head of state WITHOUT it seeming like a terrorist threat?

06:55 <Gladiolus> yes

06:56 <Starwatcher> I want it

06:57 <Starwatcher> let's team up and destroy equestria!

06:57 <Schism> No, and I'm not kidnapping Mew, either.

06:59 <Electron> Why would you do that?

07:00 <Schism> Well, it almost worked one time.

07:00 <Starwatcher> for fun and profit

07:00 <Starwatcher> destroying equestria, that is.

07:01 <Schism> "Let's see what we can do.  'Dear Prin--' nonono.  Too Twilighty.  'Hey, Princess Cel--' again, too orthodox...'Yo, C.  The black water line's about to split again, you'd better get down here.'  Perfect."

07:03 <Starwatcher> my man

07:04 <Electron> It could be Cadance.

07:04 <Schism> Hey, there's nothing Celestia has to hate more than worthless servitude?

07:04 <Starwatcher> .. I wonder how luna and celestia would respond to threats

07:04 <Schism> s/?/./

07:04 <Starwatcher> like if you straight up told them "I hate you all and will destroy you."

07:05 <Schism> The funny thing is, while Celestia controls the solar guard, and Luna controls the-- well... Cadence is the one who controls the ninjas.

07:05 <Starwatcher> so you would have to fight all three of them, probably

07:05 <Starwatcher> I'm assuming attacking one will cause them all to gang up on you.

07:06 <Schism> You'd probably have a fun time trying to actually find the ninjas -- for a second or so.

07:06 <Schism> Ah, ninja, sorry, plural of ninja is ninja.

07:07 <Electron> Really?

07:08 <Schism> The ninja is also the counterpoint to the null hypothesis.  The idea is that there will always be a ninja there, watching - and if you can't see him or her, then in fact, that proves their existence.

07:11 <Schism> Most jokes aside, though, I like to think that somehow, Cadence is the pony behind the Hidden Guard, the secret police of the ponies.  She can see connections between ponies, after all, so who better to handle that aspect of the Empire?

07:11 <Starwatcher> exactly

07:11 <Starwatcher> she must be destroyed.

07:12 * Gladiolus hugs Starwatcher

07:12 <Schism> No, no.  Cadence is of course only the cats' paw for the true evil.

07:12 <Starwatcher> who is that then

07:12 <Schism> Flurry Heart.

07:12 <Starwatcher> of course!

07:14 <Starwatcher> the probelm is that kidnapping flurry heart

07:14 <Starwatcher> would basically be like using nuclear weapons

07:15 <Starwatcher> everyone, and I mean EVERY pony would be after you forever.

07:15 <Schism> No, everyone would be launching nuclear weapons at you in an attempt to destroy the Ender of Worlds.

07:16 <Starwatcher> and at the same time, convince cadence and shining armour that somehow luna and celestia were to blame...

07:16 <Starwatcher> that might be the right way to do it.

07:17 <Schism> No, no, clearly it would be Sombra and the Umbrum, while you're laughing your way across the continent.

07:17 <Starwatcher> but the goal is to destroy equestria - those two were dealt with already

07:17 <Starwatcher> to really get to the heart of the issue - make them blame each other

07:17 <Starwatcher> start a civil war, kind of thing

07:18 <Schism> True... oh!  Blame it on the Gryphons.

07:18 <Starwatcher> harder to do, but would steel the resolve of ponies against an outside threat

07:20 <Starwatcher> like you wanna let out the awful things that you wouldn't ever do but think about sometimes?

07:20 <Schism> Any given human dropped into Equestria could engineer a world-ending war within months.  It's not hard.  Raising the world into their own image, now that's a much more interesting challenge.

07:31 <SunsetShimmer> Some haven't heard of it purely because of what kind of game that is, Schism

07:34 <SunsetShimmer> ...no.

07:36 <Schism> On a slightly lighter note we have Bit Blot's "Aquaria", which has you traveling the ruins of destroyed civilizations and eliminating what remains of their gods.

07:42 <Schism> The goal of that game is to unwrite the path of a hero who defeated an alien invasion.

07:43 <Schism> And for simple straightforward villainy, who am I to argue against the fantastic Katamari Damacy-esque game, "I Am Bread"?  A game absolutely certain to drive you to the depths of madness.

11:29 <Cepheid> Not just that.

11:29 <Cepheid> It affects what endings you get.

11:38 <Cepheid> Seriously though, the price is high.  I can't recall, but I believe the price changes as you both A)  Draw out more power, and B)  Level up.

11:41 <Cepheid> He's murdered.  You won't find the murderer in that playthrough either.

11:42 <Night_Blitz> http://i.imgur.com/5WlEWy7.jpg

11:42 <Cepheid> There are two conditions to him dying.  One is to get hollowed completely, by drawing out I think 15 times.

11:42 <Cepheid> The other is to kill Yhorm the Giant.

11:43 <Cepheid> By the by, I hope you figured out how to kill him properly.

11:43 <Cepheid> You'd be surprised how many people failed to figure it out.

11:43 <RazorSharpFang> Who's Yhorm?

11:43 <Cepheid> One of the main bosses.

11:43 <RazorSharpFang> Haven't found him yet

11:43 <RazorSharpFang> Yet the guy's dead.

11:43 * Lumindia is curled up in front of CleverDerpy with a bow on his head

11:44 <Cepheid> Then maybe I got the condition wrong.  Let me see.

11:44 <RazorSharpFang> I think he died after I killed the abyss watchers

11:44 <Cepheid> Oh, yeah.

11:44 <Cepheid> It's Abyss Watchers, my mistake.

11:45 <Cepheid> Kill the Abyss Watchers, reach a hanging bridge in the Catacombs of Carthus.

11:45 <Cepheid> But... wait, aren't you in the Castle?

11:45 <Cepheid> !log

11:45 <Unixkitty> https://unixkitty.com/logs/EquestriaDaily/latest.log.html

11:45 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah

11:46 <RazorSharpFang> I did the carthus stuff first

11:46 <Cepheid> There's only two ways to get into the castle past the Dancer of the Boreal Valley.

11:46 <Cepheid> And one of them requires killing Yhorm.

11:46 <RazorSharpFang> I murdered the lady in the castle.

11:46 <RazorSharpFang> I am a bad perso

11:46 <Cepheid> Yeah, that'd do it then.

11:47 <Cepheid> No wonder the Dancer was a pain for you.

11:47 <Cepheid> You can kill her at any time, and the Dancer will pop out as a result.

11:47 <Cepheid> IF you do things the right way, and return the Lords of Cinder to their thrones, then visit the castle, you'll find her hunched over and near-death.  She then gives you the items you get from murdering her, and the Dancer appears.

11:48 <Cepheid> In effect, you're in end-game territory.

11:49 <Cepheid> I actually don't know what kind of effect that has.

11:50 <Cepheid> The only effect I know it provides is entering the Castle early.

11:59 <Cepheid> In theory, it shouldn't have any effect long-term.  The "final boss" of the Castle path is just like any of the other Lords of Cinder bosses.

12:02 <Cepheid> The only real issue with it is getting through alive.  That place eats solo players alive.

12:02 <Cepheid> It's difficulty is on par with the Dark Souls II DLC.

12:05 * Cepheid tries to find a save file where he didn't mercilessly murder the fletcher of Solitude. Alas, he does not have such a save.

12:05 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid: i never played the Dark Souls 2 DLC

12:06 <RazorSharpFang> I never got the dark souls 2 DLC

12:06 <Cepheid> It's unbelievably hard.

12:06 <Cepheid> I've yet to complete any of the Dark Souls II DLC.

12:06 <RazorSharpFang> Dark souls II itself is quite hard I found.

12:07 <Cepheid> It is.  Especially if playing the remake.

12:07 <RazorSharpFang> You can't grind endlessly without the rare items

12:07 <Cepheid> Which increases the difficulty by changing around the enemy groups and such.

12:08 <Cepheid> But besides that, the DLC is just brutally hard.

12:09 <Cepheid> The only DLC I tried to finish was the Crown of the Old Iron King, and I couldn't even do *THAT*.

12:11 <RazorSharpFang> I've found that levelling up does take a while at higher and higher levels.

12:11 <Cepheid> It's not just that.

12:11 <RazorSharpFang> Grinding in Dark Souls 2 was easier cos you could make the enemies harder to give more XP, and the rings did more.

12:11 <Cepheid> The damage output of the enemies just skyrockets.

12:11 <Cepheid> As does the number of them.  The DLC are designed for multiple players.

12:11 <RazorSharpFang> I am being one-shotted by mages in the archives right now, Cepheid

12:12 <RazorSharpFang> I was not putting up vigor.

12:12 <Cepheid> Yeah, like I said, the Castle is on par with the Dark Souls II DLC.

12:12 <RazorSharpFang> I regret my life decisions.

12:12 <Cepheid> Again, like I said... :P

12:12 <RazorSharpFang> I tried summoning a friend to help, but I got invaded and one-shotted by the invader.

12:13 * Filly_Nightmares sprawls out for snugs

12:13 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's normal too.

12:14 <Cepheid> Uh, just a heads up.

12:14 <Cepheid> If you see a pool of wax, make use of it.

12:14 <RazorSharpFang> I've been dunking my head in it but it doesn't do anything.

12:14 <Cepheid> Did you go to the next room over?

12:14 <Cepheid> The library?

12:14 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah.

12:14 <Filly_Nightmares> Guys, Papa Gladiolus bought me Doom.

12:15 <RazorSharpFang> I got blown up by the mage.

12:15 <Cepheid> You saw the hands reaching out to grab ye?

12:15 <Filly_Nightmares> It's $20 right now

12:15 <RazorSharpFang> I didn't get that far.

12:15 <Cepheid> Ah.

12:15 * Lumindia boops Surry!

12:15 <Cepheid> Next time you get into that room, go up to the books.

12:15 * Filly_Nightmares nibbles on Lumindia

12:15 <RazorSharpFang> I was hoping that the mage wouldn't attack me if I looked waxy, but the wax doesn't do anything.

12:15 <Cepheid> Some of them spawn ghostly hands that reach out to grab ye.  They're caused by eldritch books that work on sight.

12:15 <Cepheid> And if you're in their presence(Which you will be progressively more and more later), you take continual damage.

12:16 <Cepheid> Along with a buildup of curse, I believe.

12:16 <Cepheid> As for dealing with the fireballs and magic..

12:16 <RazorSharpFang> I'll take your word for it, I haven't seen any books that do that yet.

12:16 <Cepheid> Just put on gear that boosts your resistance.

12:17 <Cepheid> You'll mostly need Fire and Magic resistance in the archives.

12:17 <Cepheid> Don't bother worrying too much about bashing and striking damage.

12:17 <Cepheid> If you can get up to them and start striking, it's less of an issue.  You can lock them up.  It's the magic and stuff that hurts.

12:18 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid: I didn't even get that far. I was considering using a bow to try and snipe them from afar.

12:19 <Cepheid> For the first group of four that you see, that is, in fact the best approach.  Snipe, run around the corner, make them come to you individually.

12:19 <Cepheid> Or just shoot 'em dead.

12:20 <Cepheid> After that, there's two that are single target.  Then back into the main room, just higher up, with a bunch of enemies.  You're gonna have to use trickery to pull them carefully.

12:20 <Cepheid> The issue isn't the number of enemies, surprisingly.  It's the Crystal Mage.

12:22 *** FallenSilent is now known as Falla-la-la-la

12:22 <Cepheid> The Archives are probably one of the hardest areas in the game so long as that mage is alive.  I'm pretty sure I broke up my xbox 360 controller a bit because of it.

13:40 <CopperCrystal> I see. I would likely sneak in and acquire it in such case, but I guess he might just make them disappear once he receives them.

13:41 <Cepheid> I was joking. I'll read the books before I hand them over.  If I ever do.

13:41 <Cepheid> I could just go to the UESP, get a list of all the books he wants, their locations, and then keep the books for myself.

13:53 <Cepheid> Hey Diane_Ponk, what are winters like in Germany, anyhow?

13:54 <Diane_Ponk> Usually mild and only white chrismas every 4 years.

13:54 <Cepheid> I know over in the Netherlands, it's basically a bit cold, with maybe an inch or two of snow at most, and it doesn't last.

13:54 <Cepheid> Ah.

13:54 <Cepheid> So about the same as the Dutchlands, then

13:55 <Diane_Ponk> Winter in Germany (with snow and ice) usually starts in january and ends somewhere between the end of february and april.

14:51 <Cepheid> Who's the publisher?

14:51 <Diane_Ponk> The same for the rest of FF games.

14:51 <Cepheid> Oh, World of Final Fantasy.

14:51 <Diane_Ponk> He's a square.

14:51 <Diane_Ponk> Aye.

14:52 <Cepheid> Japanese voice-over pack I presume?

14:52 <Cepheid> Oh, wait.  English.

14:52 <Diane_Ponk> I'm downloading the english.

14:52 <Cepheid> .... Yeah, that's a "What the f-" scenario.

14:52 <Cepheid> I'd expect Japanese voice overs, minimum.

14:52 <Diane_Ponk> >Put in game >Need to update game >Need to update PSVita system >Need to download VO pack

14:52 <Cepheid> Not English.

14:53 <Diane_Ponk> Japanese need to be downloaded, too.

14:53 <Cepheid> Yeah.

14:53 <Diane_Ponk> Wanna know why I'm getting english?

14:54 <Cepheid> Mmm..  If it was PSVita, I can understand to a degree.

14:54 <Diane_Ponk> The game has Rikku.

14:54 <Cepheid> The game has a limited capacity for games.

14:54 <Cepheid> Apparently the largest a game can be is 4gb.

14:54 <Diane_Ponk> And Rikku is voice by?

14:54 <Cepheid> As WoFF is 3.9 GB, so it's pushing that limitation.

14:55 <Cepheid> By using a separate, voice-over-specific file, it can circumvent this limitation.

14:55 <Diane_Ponk> Tara Lyn Charendoff, exactly.

14:55 <Diane_Ponk> aka Tara Strong.

14:55 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:55 <Cepheid> And I wish I could say I was joking about the above.  I'm not.

14:55 <Cepheid> PSVita games are limited to 4GB in size in the package.

14:56 <Cepheid> Therefore, if the voice overs + game > 4GB, they have to be downloaded separately.

14:56 <Diane_Ponk> the VO pack is 659 MB and the first update was another 100s of MB.

14:56 <Cepheid> Why is such a limitation in place?  Presumably the cartridges, plus a combination of filesystem.

14:56 <Cepheid> Yeah.

14:56 <Cepheid> I'm talking the initial package

14:56 <Cepheid> Updates, DLC are separate.

14:56 <Diane_Ponk> I know, the physical medium can only take so much.

14:57 <Cepheid> They're considered separate files according to games.  As such, they can "mount" them in a sense and access their contents separately from the main game.

14:57 <Diane_Ponk> Good thing nowerdays everything has internet access.

14:57 <Diane_Ponk> Gimme a second, my lighter has lost connection.

14:57 *** Quits: Nedemai (Nedemai@fluttershy.is.best.pony) (Connection closed)

14:57 <Cepheid> But on the other hand...

14:57 <Diane_Ponk> Well 35 mins of downloads additionally to the 25 minutes of downloading the update.

14:58 <Cepheid> Let's say the game includes a bunch of data you wouldn't expect a Western audience to make use of.

14:58 <Cepheid> You can separate that data into a separate package, and reduce the size of the base package.

14:58 <Diane_Ponk> Or invent better cardridges.

14:58 <Cepheid> Which is why I have no problems with Japanese VA being a separate package.  Most of the time I use English for the first playthrough, Japanese for the second, etc.

14:58 <Cepheid> Yeah, there is that approach too.

14:59 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, that requires a firmware update, at best.

14:59 <Diane_Ponk> Rikku is so cute~

14:59 <Cepheid> If the OS was designed expecting 32-bit filesystems, it'll need an update to handle something larger.

14:59 <Diane_Ponk> Funny enough she fits more Pinkie Pie's archetype.

14:59 <Cepheid> And 4GB is the limit for 32-bit systems, unless some stop-gap measure is implemented to allow 32-bit systems to access a 32-bit> OS.

14:59 <Cepheid> Er, FS*

14:59 <Cepheid> Like say, LBA.

15:00 <Diane_Ponk> I can't wait for the superman crystal to be a thing.

15:00 <Diane_Ponk> 3.6 TERRABYTE capacity, baby~

15:00 <Cepheid> Given that we keep expanding the capacities of SD cards, it'll be a while.

15:00 <Cepheid> As it is, we're at something like 256GB for SD cards.  Hmm, let's see..

15:01 <Diane_Ponk> Imagine the game that needs 3.6 TB space.

15:01 <Cepheid> Yeah, 256 as of May 2016.

15:01 <Diane_Ponk> TBh that would be a little much.

15:01 <Cepheid> However, in expectation of increasing sizes..

15:01 <Cepheid> The protocol supports several terabytes.

15:01 <Diane_Ponk> And batteries are still puny as they were decades ago. Science: GET TO IT.

15:02 <Cepheid> Well, not several.  Two terabytes.  But there's no reason it can be upgraded to handle more.

15:02 <Cepheid> It's just they set that limit because for the time being, we're progressing at a rate where terabyte SD cards won't happen for another few years.  By which point an upgrade will happen anyways.

15:02 <Cepheid> But yes, there is no reason why the PSVita or 3DS should be limited to 4GB at this point.

15:03 <Cepheid> There are filesystems out there(*COUGH* ext3/ext4 *COUGH*) that are available for use that provide support for 4> GB files.  And given SD cards exceed that limit(Even the cheaper end is 32GB these days), there's no reason for the limit.

15:03 <Cepheid> Even back when the N3DS was announced, manufactured and prepared..

15:04 <Cepheid> The upper limit was 64GB for space.  But then again, games are supposed to be forward compatible from the 3DS to the N3DS, so..

15:04 <Cepheid> The 4GB limit remains

15:04 <Cepheid> Whatever Nintendo's next handheld console is gonna be, I would imagine the limit's gonna be 8 or 16GB, maybe more.

15:05 <Cepheid> At this point, given most games on the PS4 barely exceed 32GB, a 32GB capacity seems reasonable.  Only games I'm familiar with that exceed that capacity are games like Final Fantasy XIV and Destiny, and even then, they only exceed that limit because the base game is much lower than the 50GB Blu-ray limit, and they use patches to add further content.

15:06 <Cepheid> Nintendo however, I expect to stop at 16 or 32 for the next handheld.  Nintendo's never been one to use hardware considered too "bleeding edge" for the sake of reliability.  They prefer hardware that's been tested, shown to work over a long period of time, with no issues.

15:06 <Cepheid> I still have a first-generation Wii, and it's working to this day.

15:08 <Cepheid> Nintendo may be jerks with Youtube stuff, and may not be big on using the highest-end of the highest-end, but at least their hardware survives many of the conditions people put it through.

15:09 <Cepheid> I can't count the number of times I've heard random people and friends who've complained their X-Box 360, PS3, X-Box One, or PS4 broke down, and it turns out they had them in conditions that were conducive to breakdown.  You don't put consoles in freaking cubbyholes.

15:09 <Cepheid> Like humans, these devices need to breath.  They can't be in enclosed areas, or stuffy little cubby-holes.  They will overheat, they will burn, they will fry.

15:10 <CleverDerpy> hiya

15:11 <Cepheid> Such is why handheld hardware like the DS, 3DS, PSP, and PSVita will continue to work to this day, aside from moving parts in the PSP.  They're used in locations that are expected of their operating conditions, so they don't burn themselves out.

15:11 <Cepheid> And hello, CleverDerpy.

15:11 <Cepheid> Dun mind me.  I'm drunk and talkative today, it seems.  I also apologize to all the mods for my constant talking.

15:17 <Cepheid> To make a complex topic simple:  Technology burns.  It is inevitable that it will break down.

15:17 <Cepheid> The defining factor is how quickly it burns.

15:17 <CleverDerpy> cuz it burns, burn burns, the ring of fire, the ring of fiiire~

15:18 <Cepheid> Using bleeding-edge condemns the hardware to burn sooner rather than later.  Using tested hardware allows one to best determine what should be used to keep it from burning sooner rather than later.

15:18 <CleverDerpy> Cepheid, nothing is fry proof

15:18 <Cepheid> Heatsinks, fans, liquid cooling.  These all stop chips from burning.  But what's needed requires research.  Just because you have knowledge of what the operating specs are..

15:18 <Cepheid> Oh, indeed, CleverDerpy.

15:18 <Cepheid> But you can slow it down.

15:19 <CleverDerpy> my computer is a monster with a pretty sizable fan

15:19 <Cepheid> Usually, the best way to achieve this is to use cooling that exceeds what the operating specs specify.

15:19 <CleverDerpy> a few heatsinks

15:19 <CleverDerpy> and possibly liquid cooling

15:19 <Cepheid> The better the cooling, the less likely it will just plain out burn.

15:19 <CleverDerpy> well, after a point, it becomes excessive

15:19 <Cepheid> Also, air cooling can be just as good as liquid cooling.  Liquid cooling just offers the benefit of silence.

15:20 <Cepheid> Oh, there is a point when it's excessive, sure.

15:20 <Cepheid> But there is also a point where it is optimal.

15:20 <CleverDerpy> true

15:20 <Cepheid> Most new hardware does not utilize this point.

15:20 <Cepheid> That's why bleeding-edge tends to fail sooner than tested-and-proven.

15:20 <CleverDerpy> Cepheid, there's another issue

15:20 <CleverDerpy> time

15:20 <Cepheid> Because while you can know the operating specs of a chip, it's only theoretical, and under certain conditions.

15:21 <Cepheid> Time will definitely affect it, I agree.

15:21 <CleverDerpy> they only have so long to test in many cases

15:21 <Cepheid> But much of the degredation is in heat.

15:21 <CleverDerpy> well, that too

15:21 <CleverDerpy> but I was referring to time for testing

15:21 <Cepheid> Like I said, many of the people I know who've had hardware fail, have had it fail due to heat-related scenarios.

15:21 <CleverDerpy> some people are hard pressed

15:21 <Cepheid> Fair enough.

15:21 <Cepheid> I will agree to that, in fact it aligns with my statements.

15:22 <Cepheid> If you wait a year or a few months, you have a better idea to operating conditions.

15:22 *** Quits: Apple_Bloom (uid52418@the.canon.pony) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

15:22 <Cepheid> What people will do to the device in question.  How best to combat it.

15:22 <Cepheid> Nintendo tends to take the approach of "Reduce heat emission in general by using a smaller process than is expected for the chip in question."

15:23 <Cepheid> In doing this, they reduce the amount of heat emitted.  Combined with a fan, heatsink or both, that matches that process, or exceeds it..

15:23 <CleverDerpy> Nintendo has it's own issues though

15:23 <Cepheid> They can extend the life of the chip.

15:23 <Cepheid> Indeed.

15:23 <CleverDerpy> I am a fan who does research on the concepts they follow

15:23 <Cepheid> Nintendo's got a problem with adoption of newer wireless techs.

15:23 <Cepheid> Among others.

15:24 <Cepheid> When it comes to consoles, their expertise is a bit lacking.  They tend to be "behind the times" as it is.

15:24 <Cepheid> When it comes to portable handheld consoles and such, they tend to fare much better.  Better-optimized hardware for portability and heat, better API, and better advertisement.

15:24 *** Joins: wobniaR (wobniaR@Monoshy.Hydra.Fighter.64)

15:25 <Cepheid> I won't deny Nintendo has it's problems.  In fact, I question their insistence that the Switch is not meant to replace the 3DS, among other issues(Hardware-related, I'm concerned about the tech they're using.).  But then again..

15:25 <Cepheid> Sony and Microsoft have their own issues, hardware and software-wise.

15:26 <Cepheid> Microsoft has an impressive track record with API and multi-threaded applications.  Sony is basically more "raw power", but their APIs tend to be a bit lacking initially.

15:27 <Cepheid> Usually, Sony's consoles start off lacking with "power applications", but eventually after a year or two really improve and show off the hardware.

15:27 <Cepheid> While Microsoft has an initial API and threading-based advantage, that allows them to pull things off that would drag Sony's hardware to a crawl.  At least, initially.

15:29 <Cepheid> Microsoft tends to fail because they have certain demands of the developers that cause problems.  Same with Sony.  Nintendo just tends to be somewhere in the back, minding it's own business.  Their behaviour is more focused on handheld stuff, to the point that they treat their placed-console approach.  Which usually cripples them in that area.

15:33 <Cepheid> Technology is tricky.  It's a combination of ensuring the hardware doesn't burn, trained developers in the use of the hardware, and knowing what the expected operating conditions are.

15:51 <Cepheid> I'll take your concerns to heart.

15:51 <Diane_Ponk> Thanks.

15:51 <Cepheid> Especially since they align with my own concerns of the stupidity of limiting a filesystem to 4GB files in this day and age.

15:51 <Diane_Ponk> Also: Always add a postgame.

15:51 <Cepheid> That's normal.

15:51 <Cepheid> It's so normal it's expected these days.

15:52 <Cepheid> The trick is making a postgame that's memorable.

15:52 <Cepheid> The best game thus far I've seen do that is the God Eater series.  Main storyline all fine and dandy, sure.  Complete it, there's a complete and fully-written and voiced post-game to go with it.

15:52 <Diane_Ponk> Disgaea

15:52 <Cepheid> Disgaea series also works, yes.

15:52 <Diane_Ponk> ALL of them

15:53 <Diane_Ponk> More characters, more storylines, sometimes even jumps to parallel universes

15:53 <Cepheid> They add a lot of post-game content, yes.  But none of them(as far as I've played) provide a complete secondary storyline that takes days to finish, post-game-wise.

15:53 <CleverDerpy> pokemon adds almost all post game content

15:53 <Diane_Ponk> Disgaea 4 did

15:53 <Cepheid> Good to know.

15:53 <CleverDerpy> you just get a small chunk often before the end

15:53 <Cepheid> As I'm working on Disgaea 4 slowly.

15:53 <Cepheid> And then Disgaea D2, then Disgaea 5.

15:54 <CleverDerpy> then you catch legendaries and such after

15:54 <Diane_Ponk> They add a storyline where two character travel to the past~

15:54 <Cepheid> I still have not made the Clever Derpy variant of a prinny.

15:54 <Cepheid> Diane_Ponk, I ahve not completed Disgaea 4.

15:54 <Cepheid> Please do not SPOIL IT.

15:54 <CleverDerpy> don't spoil a good egg

15:54 <CleverDerpy> that's rotten

15:54 <Diane_Ponk> Like really vage.

15:55 <Cepheid> It's not vague enough.  Given the story I've seen, it can imply certain things.

15:55 <Cepheid> Such as relating to the past between Valvatorez and his human love.

15:55 <Diane_Ponk> Oh yeah wanna know what made me really happy?

15:56 <Cepheid> So long as it doesn't spoil, sure.

15:56 <Cepheid> As for where I've seen thus far..

15:56 <Cepheid> Last chapter was the fairgrounds.

15:56 <Diane_Ponk> Knowing that something very specific about Disgaea 5 came true and I called it.

15:56 <Cepheid> Heh.

15:56 <Cepheid> Ironically, Disgaea 5 interests me for one reason.

15:56 <Cepheid> Based on what I've seen of that game(Screenshots, mostly), it seems to be a more serious storyline than most Disgaea games.

15:57 <Diane_Ponk> The oldest character in the series OBVIOUSLY was already alive back in the distant past the 5th game takes place.

15:57 <Diane_Ponk> The oldest AND biggest.

15:57 <Cepheid> Heh.

15:57 <Cepheid> Baal was alive even then.

16:02 <Diane_Ponk> Don't bully Micky pls.

16:03 <Cepheid> Of course I remember Micky and his shy behaviour.  Yeah, he's cool.

16:27 <Cepheid> So, here's the thing.  In today's day and age, people argue about realism in games, etc, etc, etc.

16:28 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure opening a map and determining that yes, I've completely explored an area, based on the map I can examine, is realistic.

16:28 <Cepheid> This is why I liked Etrian Odyssey and the series it spawend.

16:29 <ADragonCaroling> hrarm?

16:29 <Cepheid> Because at least then, if you screwed up on the map because you weren't as thorough as expected, you'll miss out on stuff due to your own mistakes.

16:29 <Cepheid> Here, in Skyrim, you can just pop open a dungeon map, and realize if you've missed something by the fact that the map isn't complete.

16:29 *** Quits: CopperCrystal (tecuani@Pony-4j5duv.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Quit: WeeChat 1.6)

16:30 <ADragonCaroling> not complete? Eh?

16:30 <Cepheid> Since the game's automap works based on a "You moved closed to this region, so clearly you can see it" even if you can't see it.

16:30 <Cepheid> Skyrim's automap uncovers areas within a radius around you.

16:30 <Cepheid> If you missed something because it was hidden, it's apparent on the map.

16:31 <ADragonCaroling> but also in Skyrim missing out on the small random loot chest is not a big deal.

16:31 <Cepheid> True.

16:31 * ADragonCaroling decorates Cepheid.

16:31 <Cepheid> But it ruins the fun of exploration.

16:31 <ADragonCaroling> You know I only used the map if I was lost?

16:31 <Cepheid> And noticing small details.

16:32 <Cepheid> Hmm?

16:32 <ADragonCaroling> Like, the local map, I almost never opened it.

16:32 <Cepheid> Right.  I open the map out of habit every now and then.

16:32 <ADragonCaroling> I think I used it most in Markarth and Windhelm.

16:32 <Cepheid> Just to make sure I'm not lost or going in a circle.

16:32 <ADragonCaroling> Because those cities are slightly confusing.

16:32 <ADragonCaroling> But anyway, exploration fun was preserve.d

16:33 <Cepheid> Fair enough.

16:33 <ADragonCaroling> The other bit of that being that in Skyrim it's overworld exploration where the most fun is found.

16:39 <CleverDerpy> since he keeps brinigng it up

16:39 <ADragonCaroling> Because he's been drinking.

16:39 <Cepheid> CleverDerpy:  Because it's nearly Christmas, and my parents bought a bunch of booze.

16:40 <ADragonCaroling> I'm on phone hotspot, so you should probably host, Cepheid.

16:40 <CleverDerpy> and there's the answer, but if you keep drinking now, you'll be wasted by the day of

20:40 <Electron> :З

20:41 <ADragonCaroling> Cepheid, probably.

20:41 <Schism> Just so, yea...

20:41 <Schism> But if you liked Spacechem, then TIS-100 will be right up your alley.

22:53 <Cepheid> If you're using the default Windows unzipping tool, then yeah, it's slow as molasses.  Use a separate tool like 7zip.  They usually fare much better and perform better.

23:51 <Schism> I understand.

23:51 <Schism> I'm still learning the ins and outs - playing the tutorial levels in which I become a one-man ecological disaster.

23:52 <Schism> You kinda half to sympathize with the aliens, don't you?  I mean, alien invader comes along and starts deforesting your world, ruining that beautiful and remarkable ecosystem which millions of years put together.

23:52 <Schism> halfway have*

23:53 <Cepheid> I agree, in this case the alien response is kind of justified.

23:55 <Schism> After all, to them, the human is the alien, and they're a horrific, terrific threat.

23:55 <Schism> Still, gotta live.

23:56 <Jackie_> is there such thing as free movies on the internet

23:57 <Schism> Yes and no.

23:57 <Jackie_> maybe in yt that channels created themselves

23:58 <Schism> If you refer to big-budget Hollywood releases, then the answer is a straightforward no unless you're looking to pirate them.  If you refer to the more independent crowd, there are quite a number of excellent releases to be had.

23:58 <Jackie_> well indie movies

23:58 <Schism> I personally quite like the classic horror film, The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon, but it's kind of a niche flick.

23:59 <Jackie_> why didn't eqg premiere in the philippines
