01:41 <Cepheid> Know what's fun?  Having your hearing in your right ear going from "stable" to "spotty" in that it regularly drops out altogether and replaces typical noises with static.

01:41 <Schism> Ewwww.  Or that ringing of tinnitus?

01:43 <Cepheid> Ringing's no problem.  I don't get that.

01:59 <Cepheid> To be honest, there's one thing I'd like to see in Starbound.

01:59 <Schism> Oh?

01:59 <Librarian> im thinking of getting horizon zero dawn

01:59 <Librarian> seems fun

02:00 <Librarian> and i have some credit on my account, so discount

02:00 <Cepheid> A sense of urgency would be nice.  Something that encourages moving up the progression besides simply finishing the main quest line.

02:01 <Cepheid> Like invasions after a safe period, bosses outside of instanced dungeons, catastrophes to deal with.

02:01 <Schism> Perhaps a growing armada of fleets wandering the galaxy during the space aspect?

02:04 <Cepheid> Yeah.  Probably a good idea.

02:04 <Cepheid> Especially since Unstable is now a separate "product" on Steam.

02:06 <Twilight`Sparkle> Ah.

02:06 <Twilight`Sparkle> I think mine may have been cloud saved?

02:06 <Twilight`Sparkle> dunno.

02:07 <Schism> I'll have to re-enable it.  Ah well.  Come to think, I think Starbound should be a nice way to relax tonight.  That or a bit more of Stardew.

02:07 <Twilight`Sparkle> Neat.

02:08 <Cepheid> Twilight`Sparkle:  So apparently, Starbound is getting some changes to space exploration next update.

02:09 <Cepheid> Bleh, the game received a small patch update.  Gotta update the server.

02:11 <Cepheid> There we go.

02:11 * Schism peers at the tutorial. Haven't done that before.

02:37 <Twilight`Sparkle> ah.

02:37 <Schism> Hmmm.  Starting to get the hang of a few things...

02:43 <Fn> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHyUYg8X31c&feature=youtu.be

02:46 <Cepheid> Fun note, the game that's sold me on the Nintendo Switch isn't the Legend of Zelda.  It's Disgaea 5.

02:47 <Schism> Cepheid, brought to a system by an Atlus game?  Colour me surprised.

02:48 <Cepheid> I'd prefer a portable, complete version of Disgaea 5 over a desktop-console version.

02:51 <Cepheid> Oh for cripe's sake.  Can I not get a moment of peace in this house?  Parents went to bed, so I moved downstairs to do work in the livingroom in peace, quiet and comfort.

02:51 <Cepheid> Guess who's come to bother me.

02:51 <Schism> Bwargh.  >_O

02:51 <Cepheid> Both cats.

02:51 <Cepheid> One of them is walking around the couch relentlessly, staring down Tizzy when he can.  Tizzy's walking all over me.

02:52 <Cepheid> By the by, speaking of the cats.  Spitfire's acquired a strange habit.

02:52 <Cepheid> He watches TV.  Sure, a lot of cats do that, because stuff is moving on the screen.  That's fine.

02:52 <Cepheid> But he specifically watches TV to watch certain types of shows.

02:53 <Cepheid> If it's a nature show, he'll sit on the ottoman and watch the TV intently.  Anything else and it's all "Meh." and he walks off.

02:54 <Cepheid> And it's not nature shows with birds and such, fast moving things.

02:54 <Cepheid> Tonight's show was about the rhinoceros and hedgehogs.  He was more interested in the rhinos.

05:14 <Cepheid> So apparently some people are trying to attribute NASA finding 7 interesting planets to Trump being in power.

05:15 <Thelema5> Woah, Larson at Trotcon 2017?  Awesome.

05:15 <Schism> Do correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't NASA on the chopping block with the Republican administration?

05:15 <Schism> Along with anything else that might have to do with Arts and Sciences?

05:15 <Cepheid> Most organizations that speak of global warming as a thing that's occurring are being threatened by the Trump administration.

05:16 <Thelema5> Schism, their buget is on the line, even thou it comprises .004% of the total expenditures

05:16 <Thelema5> It's a travesty

05:18 <Cepheid> As it is, people seem to think NASA wastes money, nevermind the fact that several times the amount of money spent on NASA is spent on the military in the same time period.

05:18 <Schism> Let us also note that were it not for groups such as NASA, there would be a rather sizeable decline in satellites, not that such things have any practical military use.

05:20 <Thelema5> Lets also note that more money is being extended to provide security services which cost more than nasa's total budget to Trump's family a secure New York City residence during their tenure

05:21 <Thelema5> *for

05:21 <Schism> And let us not forget how much the government is funneling into Mar-A-Lago.

05:22 <Cepheid> Oh gods.

05:22 <Cepheid> It was up to $15 million for trips to and back from there, last I heard.

05:22 <Thelema5> It's obscene

05:30 <Golden> Good night everyone

05:30 <SaultSteMarie> I don't really think anyone in power pays attention to protests. I'm not sure congresspersons care about their constituents. I feel alienated and fatigued and I'm in a country I don't really like in a city that doesn't feel like home anymore and I don't really know how to run or where to even run to.

05:31 <Finwe> Cepheid: Yup, they most certainly are.

05:32 <Cepheid> SaultSteMarie:  Truth told, I'm wondering how long it takes before the American populace actually uses the 2nd amendment for it's intended purpose.  From what I understand, the right to bear arms was intended to protect the public from government overreach and oppression.

05:32 <Princess-Luna> A lot of folks talk about revolution, but I don't think the stomach for it exists among the populace as much or as intensely as they'd need to carry it out

05:33 <Princess-Luna> a lot of petulant whining, but little true action

05:33 <SaultSteMarie> Cepheid yeah and the irony is that's why the tea party was against gun control anywy so

05:33 <Cepheid> Funny thing is, if revolution occurred, I'm pretty sure the military would side with the public.

05:35 <SaultSteMarie> Revolution would need to entail like... states seceeding, at least temporarily, in a non-violent fashion with the military refusing to intervene.

05:35 <SaultSteMarie> idk despondent 20-something offing politicians wouldn't help.

05:35 <ADragonDreaming> If it came down to a clear demarcation between citizenry as a whole and government, American military would side with the citizenry, yes.

05:36 <ADragonDreaming> Thing is, it is actual illegal to deploy American military /on American soil/ unless there is an actual foreign invasion.

05:37 <ADragonDreaming> (deploy mean in terms of engaging in actual combat etc.)

05:37 <SaultSteMarie> You know when you have a place to live but you feel persistently homeless?

05:37 <Cepheid> You mean like when you live with your parents?

05:43 <Cepheid> ... That reminds me.

05:43 <Cepheid> Speaking of pickles, I was watching Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid last night.

05:44 <Cepheid> Kobayashi's a programmer for a high-tech company.  In one scene, they show what she's typing.

05:44 <Cepheid> There were references to pickles in the code.

05:53 <Cepheid> More because this isn't my beer than because I don't want to get drunk.  As it is, I owe my dad about $15 now.  I price my consumption at average bar prices, not what he actually paid.

05:53 <Cepheid> My parents hate it.

05:53 <Cepheid> They insist I not pay them back and so on.

05:54 * Cepheid goes coding.

05:55 <ADragonDreaming> Whatcha cooooooding?

05:57 <Cepheid> Extremely basic font editor to create bitmap fonts with.  While a few tools like this exist, they only support editing glyph ranges 0 through 255.  Not good enough for me.

05:57 <Cepheid> SO I'm creating a tool that does the same thing, but supports the ability to edit any unicode codepoint, then outputs an appropriate number of images required to use all the specified glyphs.

05:58 <Cepheid> I made the mistake of writing it in Java using JavaFX though.

05:59 <Cepheid> If I had used Swing, this would be a lot easier.  But no, because JavaFX is new, and I need experience with it, I decided to write it using that.

05:59 <Cepheid> Good gods, what a mistake that was.

06:00 <SaultSteMarie> oh that reminds me I need to reverse engineer the .bmh image format Lunatic Dawn uses so I can write an encoder for it.

06:00 <SaultSteMarie> Kind of expecting it's just xor-encoded bitmaps

06:01 <Cepheid> That means there's a key that you have to figure out in order to decode it.

06:02 <SaultSteMarie> There's an existing (closed-source) decoder plugin for some... Japanese image viewer

06:04 * Finwe hats on SaultSteMarie.

06:04 <Cepheid> Usually if there is a "key" it's stored in the executable.

06:04 <Cepheid> Which means tracing execution of the executable's image-decoding stuff.

06:15 <SaultSteMarie> Yeah should be pretty trivial, I did that with other data files.

06:17 <SaultSteMarie> On the other hand the exe should handle bitmaps natively so I could just dump them to bitmaps with the existing decoder and tell thing to use those instead :S This is more curiosity on my part.

06:18 <Cepheid> What's the intent?

06:19 <SaultSteMarie> Translation stuff. There's text in the images.

06:52 <DashedRainbows> You either code genius, or, more likely, an abomination

06:53 <Cepheid> In my case...

06:53 <Cepheid> Tipsy tends to lead me to actually making progress.

06:57 <DashedRainbows> I try to design my code when I'm out and about, in which my mind is clearer

07:00 <Cepheid> I tend to design my code while I am falling asleep, or while I'm in a quiet place.

07:00 <Cepheid> More the former than the latter.  A quiet space is very hard to find in this world.

07:01 <Cepheid> People have no concept of just how loud they really are.

07:01 <DashedRainbows> Paradoxically, not looking at the code makes it easier to know what it should be

07:02 <Cepheid> Based on what I've learned of psychology, our brains spend time organizing information over the day.

07:03 <DashedRainbows> Still not fully awake

07:03 <Cepheid> When we're not learning or processing information, our brain spends time organizing it.  Especially during sleep.

07:04 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (Zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Quit: Ping timeout: -1 second)

07:04 <Cepheid> We may see some weird things though.

07:04 <Starwatcher> I've seen some things.

07:04 <Starwatcher> done some stuff.

07:05 <Cepheid> For example, an experiment was performed to determine skill learning/memory retention, especially in amnesiacs who can't learn anything new(Due to brain damage.  Yes, it is possible to no longer be able to form new memories.).

07:05 <DashedRainbows> What sort of stuff, Starwatcher?

07:05 <Starwatcher> mostly math.

07:05 <Starwatcher> =p

07:05 <Cepheid> They had people of varying skills play Tetris, including amnesiacs.

07:05 <Starwatcher> I just remember that quote from somewhere and thought it was funny.

07:06 <Cepheid> All of them reported seeing blocks falling in their mind/vision, just as they were falling asleep, or while they were sleeping.

07:06 <DashedRainbows> 3.1415198979323846

07:06 <Cepheid> Also, it turns out that skill memory is handled by a different part of the brain than non-contextual memories, like what you saw that day.

07:06 <DashedRainbows> Is that right? I've not checked in forever

07:07 <Cepheid> Since those who were amnesiac and couldn't form new memories were apparently learning how to play Tetris despite never being able to recall that they played the game the day before.

07:07 <Starwatcher> DashedRainbows: yes

07:07 <DashedRainbows> Cool

07:08 <Cepheid> Long story short, your brain takes what you did during the day that's skill-based, and during falling-asleep or REM sleep, re-organizes it.  The next day, you'll have a better grasp of what you did the day before, and when you get back to the problem at hand, you have an increased chance of solving it.

07:09 <Cepheid> So even if you don't consciously think about it, your brain is still solving one or more problems.  Also, apparently sleep helps retain general memories period.

07:10 <Cepheid> In fact, it's also been determined that if you want to learn something, you're better off doing so in the hours before you sleep.

07:10 <Starwatcher> rly

07:11 <Cepheid> In the period between learning something new and sleeping, there's a lot of interference from imagery, text, sounds, and so on.

07:11 <Starwatcher> https://profileimages.torn.com/42be4aef-36a8-a182-1851172.jpg [orly?]

07:12 <Cepheid> The longer this period of interference goes on, the less likely you'll remember something prior to the interference.

07:12 <DashedRainbows> Starwatcher: apparently it's not right. Oh well, I haven't tried to memorize it in years

07:12 <Cepheid> And interference in this case is "Anything you are doing following whatever it is you want to remember."

07:13 <Starwatcher> oh shows what I know hahha

07:13 <Cepheid> Yeah, your recollection of pi breaks down after 3.14159

07:13 <Cepheid> Still better than most.

07:13 <Cepheid> Most people only recall 3.14.

07:14 <Cepheid> And most scientific pursuits only go up to like, 4 or 5 significant digits.

07:15 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, there's very little gained from each additional digit.

07:15 <DashedRainbows> 3.14159265358979323846

07:15 <Cepheid> Especially since computers are limited.

07:15 <Cepheid> A single-precision float is guaranteed at least 6 digits of accuracy.  At most 7.

07:16 <Cepheid> Double-precision is something like, 15-17 digits.

07:16 <Cepheid> Though you can exceed that using libraries that do software emulation of arbitrary-precision floating point numbers.

07:17 <Cepheid> So your upper limit is a mixture of the amount of RAM you have, and the speed of the system.

07:17 <Cepheid> ... Am I drunk?  I honestly can't tell outside of "I'm talking a lot."

07:34 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

07:35 <Starwatcher> hi Finwe

07:35 <Starwatcher> oops

07:35 <Starwatcher> hi Filly_Nightmares

07:35 * Cepheid listens to Castlevania Harmony of Despair OST. "I feel said that I will never see a proper Castlevania game again."

07:35 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_pm-2TbmN8

07:35 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

07:35 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Touhou Remix (Vocal Eurobeat) Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ ☢ Nuclear Fusion ☢

07:36 <ConfusionRift> I dunno. Bloodstained seems to be going well.

07:36 <Cepheid> Truth told, a *VERY* small part of me feels like it's my inherent duty to take up the mantle that Konami has decided to drop, and come up with a new concept that has the epicness of Castlevania.

07:37 * Cepheid checks out Bloodstained. "..."

07:37 <Cepheid> Nevermind then.

07:38 <ConfusionRift> Yep. The team decided to leave Konami and do their own thing.

07:38 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctE4C3mZGZ8 < Alternately, Cepheid.

07:38 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

07:38 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about 【東方Eurobeat】Little Flare A-one

07:38 <ConfusionRift> Just as many have.

07:38 <Cepheid> Not surprised.

07:38 <Cepheid> What Konami did was absolute insanity.

07:39 <Cepheid> That said... Even if it is no longer my duty to pick up that old mantle, I still feel the need to replicate the formula, with a new underlying story.

07:39 <ConfusionRift> Go for it.

07:39 <Schism> "For the longest time, when I was working at Konami, I was protected by my company. They took care of me. Now I'm kind of anxious." -Koji Igarashi, 2014

07:40 <Cepheid> Most Metroidvanias can't quite...  Do it, I find.

07:40 <Cepheid> Not that they are bad, they're just missing something.

07:40 <Schism> I still need to play through Axiom Verge sometime.

07:40 *** Quits: jackie (jackiethefi@the.little.cloud.colt) (Quit: HexChat 2.12.4 [x64])

07:40 <ConfusionRift> DO EEEEET!

07:40 * Schism waughs, and falls over.

07:40 <Cepheid> Art style, perhaps?  I find the gothic feel of the series(Even when it used anime portraits in later games) added to the series.

07:40 <ConfusionRift> I mean, there are so many platformers nowadays, but each have their own story, mechanics, and charm.

07:41 <Cepheid> I just can't pinpoint what's missing.  But games like Rabi-Ribi, Axiom Verge, and others just don't quite match the feeling.

07:41 <ConfusionRift> It's that IGA touch. :P

07:41 <Cepheid> Probably.

07:41 * Filly_Nightmares mines ConfusionRift for floof.

07:42 <Cepheid> The fact that I am sensitive to that distinct difference though gives me hope that I might be able to pick up what it is.

07:42 <Schism> Rabi-Ribi was... hum, for the most part, less about exploration and story so much as proceeding from boss fight to boss fight.

07:42 <Schism> You could say the same thing about Castlevania, but the boss fights really were the meat of Rabi-Ribi.

07:42 <ConfusionRift> I think it's that thing of making these creatures and stories that might seem to not fit into this gothic era to actually work.

07:42 <Cepheid> Mmm.

07:42 * DashedRainbows wears Filly_Nightmares as a hat

07:43 * Schism watches a skeleton kick its own skull around.

07:43 <ConfusionRift> That's what I felt.

07:43 <Cepheid> There is that, yes.

07:43 <ConfusionRift> And screw that stupid crab in the lighthouse!

07:43 <Cepheid> Especially since the era of the series covers everywhere from medieval spain all the way to modern times.

07:43 <Cepheid> And beyond.

07:43 * Filly_Nightmares eees!

07:44 <Starwatcher> if I started to dig a mine in my yard - who would stop me?

07:44 <Cepheid> So you can throw in concepts from anywhere between the start and now(and imagined beyond) into the world.

07:44 <ConfusionRift> Schism, little things like that are what make me like the series.

07:44 <Cepheid> Not many games that take gothic architecture and style, and add in modern soldiers.

07:44 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Preview For My Little Pony: Deviations Now on iTunes  [ http://tinyurl.com/he7fla3 ]

07:44 <Cepheid> Or World War 2 concepts.

07:45 <Cepheid> While at the same time, fitting them into the realm of demons, undead and mythology.

07:45 <Cepheid> Undead Soldier throwing grenades?  Fits right in.

07:45 <ConfusionRift> Them rocketeering knights.

07:45 <Schism> Oh!  I think I have something else, as well.  In many Metroidvanias, there's a sense of 'disjointedness' between certain areas, like the different sections don't quite fit together seamlessly.

07:45 <Cepheid> And in a sense, the explanation of the castle was pure genius.

07:45 <Cepheid> "The castle is a creature of chaos."

07:45 <ConfusionRift> Yes.

07:45 <Cepheid> It takes a new shape every time because the castle itself is a living thing.

07:46 <Cepheid> Schism:  There was usually a discordance in the Castlevania series, as well.  Granted...

07:46 <Cepheid> The castles usually followed a structure.

07:46 <Cepheid> If you look at the layouts of the castle in every game, there are similarities between them all.

07:46 <Schism> Well, for Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia, that sort of dissonance between areas made sense, as you were literally heading from locale to locale...

07:47 <Cepheid> The throne room is always top-centre.  To the right of it, the clocktower.

07:47 <Cepheid> The entrance area always has a long hallway of some sort.

07:47 * Schism nods, and considers. "Oh. As Metroidvanias go, how about how La*Mulana felt?"

07:47 <ConfusionRift> I have been curious about that one.

07:47 <Cepheid> There's always an underground, with underground-themed concepts.  Like a mausoleum, volcanic caverns, etc.

07:47 <Cepheid> I've never actually finished La*Mulana.

07:47 <Cepheid> But my understanding of it, is that it was DESIGNED to feel disconnected.

07:48 <Cepheid> Because the intention was to create a warped space of sorts.

07:48 <Schism> Well, it sort of is.  But it /does/ get more connected as you continue onwards for Reasons I Shan't Explain.

07:48 <Cepheid> I'm familiar with the story.

07:48 <Cepheid> The whole temple, despite it's disconnected appearance, represents something.

07:48 * Schism nodnods to Cepheid, and suggests, "CR, the newer version of La*Mulana has its benefits, though many prefer the older, free one. The older version has a bug or two which can stop you cold, however, so you'll want to look those up if you play it."

07:49 <Cepheid> I think the missing piece I haven't been able to figure out is simple and straightforward.

07:50 <Cepheid> "Can it be manipulated in a way to suit the theme?"

07:50 <Cepheid> Modern soldiers.  Can they be made into zombies?  Sure.  Gryphon, can it be treated as a demon, zombie or some mythological creature?  Yeah.

07:50 <Cepheid> It mixes mythologies into one coherent theme.

07:51 <Schism> Hee.  Now I'm imagining a 'Fantastic Voyage' themed Metroidvania of sorts.

07:51 <Cepheid> The theme being usually demonic, death or spiritual.

07:51 <Cepheid> If it sits outside those themes, how can it be modified to fit them?

07:52 <Cepheid> Plus, they do introduce concepts that are "new".

07:52 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure the concept of Legion wasn't supposed to be a tentacled monstrosity covered in corpses.

07:52 <ConfusionRift> Soldiers that were killed in the war and resurrected by dark magic, and they new seek revenge.

07:53 <ConfusionRift> I know that's a description for one of them.

07:53 <Cepheid> Right.

07:53 <Cepheid> And my example also brings up another point.

07:53 <Cepheid> The developers didn't really have any limitations.

07:53 <ConfusionRift> Another thing that I like are the small details that give things character.

07:53 <Cepheid> Even going so far as to distort Christian concepts.

07:53 <Cepheid> Or holy concepts, rather.

07:53 <Cepheid> Angels, Valkyries, etc.

07:54 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift:  Admittedly the art style and animation quality is impressive, yes.

07:55 <Schism> Hmmmm.  For Bloodstained: "The development team announced that they would release the game using a staggered content model, following the approach used by Shovel Knight, so that they are able to release the core game on time, and bring additional content to the game over time and avoid critical release delays."

07:55 <Cepheid> Especially depictions of works of art.  It actually lent the idea that Dracula appreciated art

07:55 <ConfusionRift> For example, what Schism said about the skeleton kicking his own head. And there's an enemy which is a hunter with his dog. He would seek his dog at you. If you kill the dog, he laments his death, following him chasing you in rage.

07:55 <Cepheid> That was an owl, actually, but yeah, I know what you mean.

07:55 <Schism> No, there was a dog one too.

07:55 <Cepheid> Little details that lent some personality to the characters.

07:55 <Cepheid> Ah.  I recall the owl being more famous.

07:56 <Cepheid> Of course, in that same regard, the monster that sticks out the most to me was Yorick.

07:56 <Cepheid> A headless skeleton kicking around his own skull.

07:56 <Schism> Hee, yeah.

07:56 * Schism also rather likes the Final Guard, but only when there's a Crimson Mantle to be used.

07:56 <Schism> Or is that the Iron Guard?

07:57 <Cepheid> Can't say I'm familiar with that.  What was the result

07:57 <Cepheid> ?

07:58 <Schism> Iron Golem (not Guard) has something like 9,999 HP and enormous defense - and 5 MP or so.  The Killer Mantle (not Crimson Mantle) switches an enemy's HP and MP.  

07:58 <ConfusionRift> Oh that!

07:58 <Cepheid> Ah yes.

07:58 <Cepheid> Makes it possible to kill the Iron Golem.

07:58 <Cepheid> I actually killed the golem by doing 1 damage.

07:58 <Cepheid> Repeatedly.

07:58 <Schism> Using the fists?

07:58 <Cepheid> I don't recall.

07:59 <Cepheid> I just remember using something that hit a large number of times over a short period of time.

07:59 <Cepheid> And just went to town on it.

07:59 <ConfusionRift> You can kill it normally, but you would need a weapon that does damage overtime.

07:59 <Cepheid> The giants were usually easy to manage combat-wise.

07:59 <Schism> I recall using the Medusa Head soul, jumping right next to Dracula's face, and just punching away like mad.

07:59 <Schism> No cooldown on that fist weapon.  o3o

07:59 <Cepheid> Heh.

07:59 <Schism> http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/Astral_Veil

08:00 <ConfusionRift> The cancel trick with lances, the quick knuckles, the extending blades, 1000 blades, etc.

08:01 <Cepheid> I remember sequence breaking Dawn of Souls.

08:02 <Cepheid> That game introduced special attacks with all the weapons.  Some of them caused Soma to jump forward or back quite a distance.

08:02 <Cepheid> And it was *JUST* enough to place him over the buttons to some of the one-way gates.

08:02 <Cepheid> The result was that the game would register him atop those buttons, and open the gates, and allow access to areas that he wasn't supposed to be in yet.

08:04 <Schism> Ah, Dawn of Sorrow - the Cinquedia.

08:04 <Cepheid> I have made a mistake.

08:04 <Cepheid> I didn't keep my promise of three drinks.  I've now consumed five beers.  I owe my dad a lot now. >_>;

08:04 <Cepheid> But I'm having a good time, so... *Shrugs*

08:05 * ConfusionRift checks.

08:06 <ConfusionRift> Yep. The cancel trick works in Dawn of Sorrow.

08:11 * Cepheid looks at Rueters while drunk. He lasts all of 5 seconds before going to something more cheery.

08:11 <Cepheid> Schism:  Indeed.  But, beer is beer.

08:11 <Schism> It's what you get when you take Labatt Blue and remove any vestige of anything that could /possibly/ be worthwhile from it.

08:11 <Schism> No, beer is not beer.  :<

08:11 * Cepheid throws Schism at Tohru, the dragon.

08:17 * Schism peers at the time. "Ah. 3:15. Perhaps a good time to sleep."

08:17 <ConfusionRift> Oh boy, 3am! (eats a burger)

08:45 * ConfusionRift is a turret now. He could have done that from the start.

08:47 * Cepheid equips ConfusionRift with a plasma rifle.

09:52 <ConfusionRift> Doing okay. Just playing.

09:53 <Eeria> What you playing

09:59 <ConfusionRift> Order of Ecclesia.

10:00 <Eeria> Never heard of it, what's it like?

10:01 <ConfusionRift> Castlevania game. Mainly an action platformer sort of game.

10:05 *** Joins: Jackie_ (jackiethefi@the.little.cloud.colt)

10:06 <Jackie_> It sucks how non-programmers complain on bad game mechanisms as they didn't tried how hard coding is actually when it comes to game development. :/

10:06 *** Jackie_ is now known as Jackie

10:08 *** Braixen is now known as Flower

10:10 <RazorSharpFang> Jackie: They may very well have legitimate grievances. Things like a certain healing spell overflowing the health to insta-kill, getting stuck due to bad collision, etc.

10:10 <RazorSharpFang> The difficulty of programming doesn't make their grievances less legitimate.

10:10 <Jackie> Besides, I think I will fail to make a game

10:10 <RazorSharpFang> The thing that kills game projects fastest is a scope blowout.

10:10 <RazorSharpFang> Start small.

10:11 <RazorSharpFang> Don't get big until you can handle big.

10:11 <Jackie> Since I don't have math knowledge, but I still have potential for making one, even a 2d retro game

10:11 <RazorSharpFang> Programming is literally applied maths. You kinda need maths to do some stuff.

10:11 <Jackie> Well I can do up to algebra

10:11 <RazorSharpFang> Not all stuff, but some stuff.

10:12 <Jackie> If that's fine

10:12 <RazorSharpFang> For instance, Graphical operations use a LOT of matrix operations under the hood.

10:12 <RazorSharpFang> There's a lot of theoretical backing for what they do.

10:12 <Jackie> Anyway, I'm probably never going to make a 3d game at least

10:12 <RazorSharpFang> 2d is easier.

10:13 <Jackie> 2d is less math

10:13 <RazorSharpFang> Why not just grab an engine like Gamemaker to make it easier lol

10:13 <Jackie> Nah, I'm using Python for it

10:13 <ConfusionRift> Hah! Hahaha! Haha! Hah...

10:13 <Jackie> Since GameMaker free can't do networking, for shame

10:13 <Jackie> but Python can using sockets

10:13 <Eeria> I love python it's a bad language though...

10:14 <RazorSharpFang> ConfusionRift: Plenty of good projects used it. It's the efficient way to get started.

10:14 <Jackie> I dislike the use of commercialized languages

10:14 <ConfusionRift> I tend to notice that it can be a tad rigid and limited as a 2D engine.

10:15 <RazorSharpFang> rigid and limited? People write EMULATORS in GM.

10:15 <RazorSharpFang> What version are YOU referring to?

10:15 <Jackie> GameMaker should make networking and DS on the free version

10:16 <Jackie> I mean those things are important to structure on making a game

10:16 <RazorSharpFang> It's not a free version, it's a trial.

10:17 <Jackie> Standard is free tho

10:17 <Jackie> But yet no networking for it

10:17 <ConfusionRift> Emulators... on GM... hold on.

10:18 <Jackie> Pretty sure Pygame can make emulators too

10:18 <RazorSharpFang> ANY decent language can make emulators

10:18 <RazorSharpFang> All you need is something turing complete and with the APIs you need

10:18 *** Quits: totient (quassel@Pony-dje2ut.fios.verizon.net) (The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.)

10:18 <Jackie> I used GM, raged on how there is so limited features, threw it away and walk away, never to bother it

10:19 <Jackie> Like months ago

10:19 <Jackie> I was looking forward to make a small game with multiplayer

10:19 <RazorSharpFang> Multiplayer?! as a first project?!

10:19 <Jackie> Yeah, just simple networking like chat

10:20 <RazorSharpFang> You should start small, think little and get it working.

10:20 <Jackie> In other words, GM is frowned upon

10:20 <RazorSharpFang> Uh, no.

10:20 <ConfusionRift> Would be a good idea to start with ideas and foundation building, and then move to thesis.

10:21 <RazorSharpFang> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z06QR-tz1_o - Try this one? Extra credits did a series on "Making your first game"

10:21 <Jackie> Why do you like Gamemaker as its so limited to its features?

10:21 <Eeria> Jackie: I agree with RazorSharpFang on at lease one thing he's said, don't start with multiplayer, build the game and then try making the other features like multiplayer

10:22 <RazorSharpFang> Jackie: I like GM because it lets me test out new features and iterative VERY FAST. I like the Extreme Programming and Iterative programming models and use a lot of prototyping to hasten development.

10:22 <Jackie> But what if I stay on gamemaker and its the time to need the multiplayer feature?

10:22 <RazorSharpFang> Then you gotta pay for a copy.

10:22 <RazorSharpFang> Just like if you used Unity and wanted one of their locked features.

10:22 <Jackie> I don't have money though

10:22 <RazorSharpFang> Or if you wanted to use the locked features of the UDK. (Unreal Engine)

10:23 <Jackie> It's such a shame that my dream was crushed months ago

10:23 <ConfusionRift> I only see the C64 emulator.

10:23 <RazorSharpFang> ConfusionRift: That's one of them, there's been a few others, but they're less notable.

10:23 <Jackie> Networking is not even an enterprise feature

10:23 *** Quits: Reia (Reia@TheCowPony) (Quit: Nini ponies. Love you all)

10:24 <RazorSharpFang> Like I said. It's not a free version, it's a trial.

10:24 <RazorSharpFang> GM is a paid product.

10:24 <ConfusionRift> ^

10:24 <Jackie> Is there some game engine that has no limits?

10:24 <RazorSharpFang> Just like Adobe Flash, just like Photoshop, etc

10:24 <ConfusionRift> For free? Doubt it.

10:24 <Jackie> Well just for indie dev

10:24 <RazorSharpFang> You can try Enigma as an open-source alternative to GM (it mimics GM in many ways)

10:24 <Jackie> and as long as you do it for free

10:25 <RazorSharpFang> But be warned, if you encounter bugs with Enigma, you'll almost certainly have to fix them yourself.

10:25 <RazorSharpFang> Patches welcome.

10:25 <Jackie> Well real game devs use real languages

10:26 <Jackie> I don't seem to have a hard time coding my own engine/library

10:26 <RazorSharpFang> GML is as real as python. Both have runtime environments.

10:26 <RazorSharpFang> Both have their niches and pros/cons

10:26 <Jackie> What if i don't want a game engine?

10:26 <RazorSharpFang> Then pick up C++ and OpenGL and go nuts.

10:27 <RazorSharpFang> The world is your pile of clay.

10:27 <Jackie> and I don't like someone forcing me to use a game engine

10:27 <RazorSharpFang> Shape your dreams into reality

10:27 <RazorSharpFang> Who's forcing you to use an engine?!

10:27 <ConfusionRift> Well, that was sudden.

10:27 <RazorSharpFang> Is this a school project?

10:27 <RazorSharpFang> A college project?

10:28 <RazorSharpFang> If you want to reinvent the wheel to suit yourself, you CAN. That's the beauty of programming.

10:28 <ConfusionRift> Since we're going that way, we can stop discussing it and suggest you doing a hard research on what you need.

10:28 <RazorSharpFang> Pick up your language of course and go.

10:28 <Jackie> I'm doing this because I have spare time at this year

10:29 <Jackie> And I don't want to waste time recoding on what I've done

10:29 <RazorSharpFang> ♪ Do what you want cos a pirate is free, you are a pirate! ♪ ♫ YAR HAR, Figgle-de-dee! ♫

10:29 <RazorSharpFang> Jackie: If you wanna use python cos you like python, use python.

10:29 <Jackie> ...L

10:30 <RazorSharpFang> That's all the justification you need.

10:30 <RazorSharpFang> "I like, so I use this

10:30 <RazorSharpFang> Go with that, and make your dreams come true.

10:30 <Jackie> I like Python because it has pseudo instructions

10:30 <ConfusionRift> He's right though. Might need some modules to get it working for multiplayer and such, but there are some solid games in Python.

10:31 *** Flower is now known as Braixen

10:31 <Jackie> Which was my first language and I'm going for Golang next for a compiled language

10:31 <RazorSharpFang> Jackie: You don't need our validation or approval to start or make your project. Go ahead, do it.

10:33 <RazorSharpFang> Jackie: But you should TOTALLY watch that Extra Credits episode if you're serious. More information is a good thing.

10:33 <Jackie> Is this for any kind of language?

10:33 <RazorSharpFang> No, it's VERY general.

10:33 <RazorSharpFang> Applies to ALL engines, languages and tools.

10:33 <ConfusionRift> It's game development in general.

10:34 <ConfusionRift> Suggestions on how to start from scratch, and slowly move to building and developing a gaming project.

10:35 <RazorSharpFang> I fully recommend Extra Credits for game development information.

10:41 <RazorSharpFang> Like I said earlier, keep it simple so you can get it done.

10:45 <RazorSharpFang> Also: Almost everything you're trying to do has a tutorial for it. Lighting? Tutorials. Chat networking? Tutorials.

10:46 <RazorSharpFang> Don't spend more than an hour or so on any individual problem if you're not making good progress on it.

10:59 <Lumindia> ?

11:00 <Jackie> Why does Golang remind me of C

11:00 <RazorSharpFang> Lumindia: Was talking gamedev.

11:00 <RazorSharpFang> Jackie: many languages inherit from C. C is the father of a LOT of standards and conventions.

11:01 <Jackie> Lol, well, I know how to use C...Bad idea?

11:02 <RazorSharpFang> C is not inherently a bad language. C is just typically lower level than one needs to be to get what they need done.

11:02 *** Joins: SkippeZ_S7 (Smallskippe@Pony-d7bc3i.range81-129.btcentralplus.com)

11:02 <RazorSharpFang> You need to choose your language carefully to fit your purpose, strengths, task and goals.

11:03 <RazorSharpFang> A multitude of languages exist with different aspects, mechanics, implementations and style.

11:03 <RazorSharpFang> Use the one that works best for what you want to do.

11:04 <ConfusionRift> I would work on what the game is gonna be, so one can set a structure at first hand.

11:04 <RazorSharpFang> Before you write any code that won't work for ANY game (Creating a window, instantizing OpenGL/DirectX, etc) make sure you know what you want to do.

11:05 <RazorSharpFang> There's nothing quite as frustrating as deleting lines and lines of code that you worked hard on because they aren't useful to your project.

11:05 <RazorSharpFang> Don't waste your effort.

11:05 <Jackie> Well I use N++ for a list on what to do

11:06 <Jackie> And I litter a bit of code with comments

11:06 <RazorSharpFang> You mean notepad++?

11:06 <Jackie> Yes, i just call it N++

11:07 <RazorSharpFang> Ah lol. You should also be sure to work on your minimum viable product before you expand your game with content. I recommend Extra Credit's video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvCri1tqIxQ - it's all about prototyping and getting it ready for playtesting.

11:07 <Jackie> I think the video has phases on development

11:07 <RazorSharpFang> phases?

11:08 <Jackie> Yeah, like What the game should be, how to design it, what alpha and beta mean

11:09 <RazorSharpFang> Like, sorta? But as I said before, start small and get it done. You want to start making a project that should take no longer than 3 months at most.

11:11 <Jackie> Tbh, thinking of my first game to be already a pony game

11:12 <RazorSharpFang> "pony game" tells me nothing of what your game is going to be like. You're speaking in terms of content and not mechanics and play.

11:12 <RazorSharpFang> That'd be like saying "Oh yeah, I'm making a film. It's got Ben Affleck in it"

11:13 <Jackie> Actually, it's a sandbox rpg game

11:13 <RazorSharpFang> See, now we're talking in terms of mechanics.

11:13 *** Quits: SkippeZ_S7 (Smallskippe@Pony-d7bc3i.range81-129.btcentralplus.com) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

11:13 <RazorSharpFang> You should start by building a minimum viable product for your RPG game.

11:14 <RazorSharpFang> Have little-to-no content, build only the systems and mechanics your game NEEDS to be playable.

11:14 <Jackie> Well, character movement looks playable

11:14 <RazorSharpFang> Once you have this, you can answer as to whether the foundation of your game is engaging and fun.

11:14 <Jackie> in other words, minimal but playable

11:15 <RazorSharpFang> Yes. You should watch Extra Credit's video if you haven't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvCri1tqIxQ

11:15 <Jackie> When i did only code that, I'm up to hiring game testers

11:16 * ConfusionRift coughs, then chuckles.

11:17 <ConfusionRift> Man, don't want me as tester.

11:18 <Jackie> Anyway I'm watching the video now but I'm taking notes as the guy is talking a bit fast

19:59 <zombieslayer15> meh

19:59 <Schism> zombieslayer15, have you perchance ever played the Worms series?

19:59 <zombieslayer15> heard of them

20:00 <Schism> I suggest giving the game "Hedgewars" a try if you're not familiar with it.  It's free.

20:00 <zombieslayer15> k why not

20:00 <zombieslayer15> link?

20:00 <Schism> http://www.hedgewars.org/download.html

20:01 <zombieslayer15> oh srry cant download anything anymore

20:01 <Schism> Oh?  Why not?

20:01 <zombieslayer15> tis blocked >=(

20:02 <PonyXD> lol a worms version with hedgehogs

20:02 <Schism> PonyXD: Yeah, a free version.  It's quite fun.

20:02 <Schism> It harkens back to the days of Worms 2.

20:02 <PonyXD> i used to play worms

20:03 <Librarian> i played womrs in highschool

20:03 * Librarian primes a holy hand grenade

20:03 <Schism> Some weapons are demonstrably different: there's a 'Hellish hand grenade', for example, which also functions to create fire.

20:03 <Schism> But all in all, it's pretty spot-on.

20:06 <PonyXD> its the same but with hedgehogs xD

20:06 <PonyXD> and they dont run fast

20:06 <Schism> Neither do worms.  >.>

20:07 <PonyXD> no they crowl

20:08 <Sombra> Excuse me.

20:08 <Sombra> But one hedgehog happends to be the fastest thing alive.

20:08 <Schism> I think a certain pegasus takes exception to that.

20:08 <Schism> Sombra: I don't suppose you would be interested in a round or two of slinging explosives at each others' teams, ne?

20:09 <Sombra> What part of fastest thing alive do you not understand?

20:09 <Sombra> Always Schism

20:09 <Schism> I can certainly start up Hedgewars.

20:09 <Sombra> What's hedgewars

20:09 <Schism> Ah.  You played 'Worms' before?

20:10 <Sombra> yes

20:10 <Schism> Freeware, open-source version of that.

20:10 <Sombra> Never heard of it.

20:11 <Sombra> I thought you meant slinging slinging metaphorical explosives

20:11 <Schism> http://www.hedgewars.org - I suggest giving it a looksee, I can run a game or two with you if you'd so choose.  And nah, merely digital ones.

20:11 <PonyXD> you know it should be a ponywars

20:11 <Schism> I think there may be pony costumes at some point.

20:12 <PonyXD> ponies everywhere xD

20:13 <Schism> Heck, games host up to... I think six players?  We could just blast each other into oblivion.

20:14 <PonyXD> it sounds fun but cant right now

22:29 <SunsetShimmer> Oh stop it.

22:30 <Sour_Sweet> And you even get a >20 year old game. ... To rent.

22:30 <Sour_Sweet> One per month for one month

22:32 <Sour_Sweet> It's what I've read. I don't follow the official news since I'm most definitely not a potential customer

22:32 <Sour_Sweet> Trolling is too much fun though <3

22:32 <Nuclear> I love analog video.

22:34 <Sour_Sweet> I actually like the idea of the Switch, however I'd have done a few things differently. One of which is a swappable battery. The add-on I got for my gameboy colour back then that replaced the battery compartment with a rechargable cell was the best thing ever

22:36 <Sour_Sweet> That they allow you to use microSDs is amazing though

22:37 <Sour_Sweet> I give them credit for not going with a proprietary cash grab there
