00:00 <Cepheid> Basically changing them from these ancient memory subsystems to something newer.

00:00 <Cepheid> But the extenders are still injecting new pointers, data, etc into the game.

00:00 <Sombra> I hope in the next elder scrolls game they have more dumb cooking stuff

00:00 <Cepheid> They have the same problems as a Lua injector.

00:00 <Sombra> Like zelda

00:00 <Fn> Cepheid, Mafia 2 came out raw and unfinished, so it has tons of code in it just being idle

00:00 <Sombra> Because lest be honest, that's what skyrim was missing.  Like they had all these food ingredients you could find, but only a handful of them  you had to have to make food.

00:00 <Sombra> And it didn't really have any super special properties

00:01 <Cepheid> Not surprising.  A lot of Skyrim is considered to be "unfinished" in a sense.

00:01 <Fn> They just packaged what they had and didn't even bother deleting the unused code

00:01 <SaultSteMarie> Bethesda's never really been good with interactive environments

00:01 <Sombra> Well hopefully they copy Botw in the next game

00:02 <SaultSteMarie> Gothic 1/2 had fairly complex item/world interaction and NPC behavior and those were contemporaries of Morrowind and Oblivion.

00:03 <Sombra> I mean it makes sense that they would, following that they sort of do things progressively.  Maybe the next skyrim will be sort of like f04 but with a better story.

00:03 <SaultSteMarie> Ultima 7 had REALLY complex item/world interaction and NPC schedules and that was like a contemporary of Arena.

00:03 <SaultSteMarie> Bethesda's kind of been behind the curve since forever.

00:03 <Fn> Cepheid, they had public transportation systems, AI for taxi, firefighters, ER and bank vault armour car (which you could take as a mini mission), lots of animations were scrapped (sitting on a bench, replacing car tyre etc.)

00:04 <Fn> That's like 60% or more of the game just out the window

00:04 <SaultSteMarie> dang.

00:04 <Fn> And they released with cut map too

00:04 <Sombra> That's alright

00:04 <SaultSteMarie> fwiw I do think sometimes cut content is cut for a reason

00:04 <Sombra> That just means the next game will be better.  It's like each game is a test run.

00:05 <SaultSteMarie> Sombra are you talking Mafia 2 or TES?

00:05 <Fn> They later gave us all that in crappy DLCs, but it was not the same

00:05 <Sombra> TES

00:05 <Sombra> Dragonborn was an excellent DLC

00:05 <SaultSteMarie> Sombra when I said Bethesda's behind the curve I mean like

00:06 <Fn> SaultSteMarie, Mafia1 had it all and didn't need to be cut so harshly

00:06 <SaultSteMarie> Fn ahaha what did they rewrite the entire engine for no good reason

00:06 <Fn> Oh and they ditched a third of a playable story as well

00:06 <Fn> So maybe more like 80% of the game just cut

00:07 <Fn> SaultSteMarie, there was a good reason: physics

00:07 <SaultSteMarie> sombra I'm not familiar with anything Bethesda's done past Fallout 3, but Fallout 3 felt like it was them sort of getting on par with what other open world games were doing in 2003.

00:07 <Fn> Old engine was unbearably taxing

00:07 <SaultSteMarie> Ah.

00:07 <Sombra> SThey're all okay.

00:08 * Surreal_Nightmares squishes.

00:08 <Fn> Mafia 2 had THE BEST car driving physics

00:08 *** Filly_Nightmares is now known as Sleeping_Nightmares

00:08 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

00:08 <ADragonDreaming> I play games for fun.

00:08 *** Sleeping_Nightmares is now known as Surreal_Nightmares

00:09 <Sombra> I played that game once.

00:09 <Fn> Only game where near misses against oncomming cars were hair raising for me

00:09 <Fn> It was unforgivingly realistic on full sim mode

00:09 <Sombra> It was okay.

00:09 <ADragonDreaming> Speaking of games...

00:09 * ADragonDreaming picks up Pillars of Eternity again.

00:09 <Fn> Car slid like the real deal, skidded, under/oversteered...

00:09 <Fn> And all cars had different mass too

00:10 <SaultSteMarie> Ah neat.

00:10 <ADragonDreaming> But was it fun?

00:10 <Fn> It's like driving a cruise ship on wheels thise olden cars

00:10 <Fn> And I could feel it in game physics

00:11 <SaultSteMarie> My favorite GTAish games is saints row 2 but the car physics in that were /very wonky/

00:11 <Fn> Pff they are a joke

00:11 <Fn> No offence

00:11 <ADragonDreaming> Kinda fun though.

00:11 <Fn> I just love authentic physics

00:11 *** Joins: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-pveddk.wa.comcast.net)

00:11 <ADragonDreaming> The trailblazer missions got difficulty.

00:11 <Cepheid> Saint's Row 2 is a tricky beast, especially on PC.

00:11 <Fn> Rally games are my favourite

00:11 <SaultSteMarie> i sort of feel like replaying Toki Tori 2.

00:12 <Fn> RBR is still unsurpassed

00:12 <Cepheid> The issue with Saint's Row 2 on the PC is that the game was ported poorly.  It was dependent on specific CPU and GPU speeds.

00:12 <Fn> Richard Burns Rally is old, but still the best

00:12 <SaultSteMarie> Cepheid yeah but the car physics is also really wonky on anything.

00:12 <Fn> Ah, yeah, porrted...

00:12 <SaultSteMarie> Like it literally can turn off at times on the PC afaik.

00:12 <Cepheid> As in, if you played the game on anything faster than what the game ran on, it'd run too fast.  Likewise, play it on slower speed hardware, it'd be slower.  And physics would break.

00:13 <Fn> It's how they killed the L.A.Noire

00:13 <SaultSteMarie> Cepheid iirc it'd run too *slow* if your hardware was faster than what it wanted.

00:13 <Fn> Ported straight from console to PC without any adjustments

00:13 <Fn> And it was crap

00:14 *** Joins: Pi (saxopi@Pony-51p.vqi.200.112.IP)

00:14 <Fn> Controls, graphics, key binds, mouse behaviour, - all crap

00:15 *** Joins: Bubble-Berry (uid109338@Pony-6jbho6.hqe2.tdoh.8300.2604.IP)

00:18 <Fn> Damn. I transcribed a song into IPA

00:19 <Fn> I glance at it and it looks like hieroglyphs at first glance

00:19 <Fn> Also hard to ɡet used to ʒ beinɡ the zh sound

00:20 <Fn> It resembles russian "z" too much for me

00:21 <Fn> And since I also speak lithuanian ʒ to me is ž

00:21 <Fn> IPA messes up ingrained patterns in muh brain!

00:23 <SaultSteMarie> i get kind of dissociated in a good way when I'm looking up kanji :3

00:24 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (chatzilla@Pony-5q4.rot.68.61.IP)

00:24 <Fn> I know I have to learn IPA to use phonetics of multiple languages

00:25 <Fn> But my "pet associations" that are so convenient for my brain get in the way

00:25 <Fn> It's akin to those olden people that refuse to do things by more modern methods

00:27 *** Quits: The_Nostalgia_Mare (Nossy@Pony-7qb4ia.au40.oqg9.0342.2601.IP) (Quit: I do talk but I nom. o3o)

00:27 <SaultSteMarie> you could learn x-sampa instead

00:27 <SaultSteMarie> or just look up the IPA symbols as you encounter them

00:35 <Fn> What's x-sampa?

00:35 <Fn> SaultSteMarie, I want to have phonetics firmly in IPA in my head, not being hooked to any of the languages

00:36 <Fn> That is proving to be harder than I imagined

00:39 *** Tempo-AFK is now known as Tempo

00:39 <SaultSteMarie> x-sampa is IPA with just the basic latin alphabet

00:40 <SaultSteMarie> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-SAMPA

00:40 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Story Updates - March 19th  [ http://tinyurl.com/nxu5zq9 ]

00:40 <SaultSteMarie> so you can type it with a normal keyboard

00:41 * Cepheid sits atop VinylScratch as punishment.

00:42 <Fn> No nononono

00:43 <Fn> This X/sampa looks awful

00:43 <SaultSteMarie> why are you learning this anyway :S

00:43 <Fn> x-sampa*

00:44 <Fn> Because I am working on a way to have a better speach sampling

00:44 <SaultSteMarie> Speech sampling..

00:44 <SaultSteMarie> ?

00:44 <Fn> Voice-to-text

00:45 <Fn> It is kinda pointless to do it straight into anz given language, none of them are phonetic anyway

00:45 <Fn> any*

00:46 <SaultSteMarie> Are you coding something?

00:46 *** Pony_28321 is now known as JackieDepressed

00:46 <SaultSteMarie> I mean I'm asking 'cause I'm wondering if learning IPA might not help you that much depending on what your end goal is :S

00:47 <Fn> With 24 languages it is alreadz a must/know

00:48 <SaultSteMarie> You speak 24 languages..?

00:48 *** Joins: Vulpor (Vulpor@Pony-gvi3u6.140-pool-xdsl-mi.sccoast.net)

00:48 <Fn> durn... still didnt switch to german kezboaed

00:48 <Vulpor> Hey everyone

00:48 <Vulpor> So I found something great

00:48 <Fn> SaultSteMarie to different degrees, yes. Most I am still learning

00:49 <Vulpor> Silver Surfer got a cartoon series in the 90s

00:49 <Vulpor> its freaking great

00:49 <Fn> I am fluent in 4 languages, and semi decent in another 4

00:49 <Fn> the rest is low, but not zero knowledge

00:50 <SaultSteMarie> oh okay I mean if you're just learning them just look up the IPA characters as you need to. Learning all of it wouldn't help cause it includes a LOT of rare sounds

00:50 <SaultSteMarie> vulpor oh my god that cartoon's art direction was /trippy/

00:50 <SaultSteMarie> i mean it was amazing but dang

00:51 <Vulpor> SoulSteMarie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P48rSIlc69Y&list=PLzvd7daedNQQkqg0HcDoGidfN9SUcICZ7

00:51 <Vulpor> Somebody needs to ponify this idea

00:52 <Vulpor> Luna and Celestia need Harolds

00:52 <SaultSteMarie> silver surfer cartoon was like a few steps more normal than Fantastic Planet or the animated version of Pereval.

00:53 <Fn> Why oh why this kezboard defaults to english?

00:53 <Fn> Swapped y and z are not fun

00:54 <Vulpor> Ive seen most everything that was animated in the 90s and on tv

00:55 <SaultSteMarie> fantastic planet and pereval wer elike 70s

00:55 <Vulpor> A ton of shows had potential but died

00:55 <Vulpor> The Maxx still haunts me

01:07 <SaultSteMarie> oh man i haven't had cable tv in years :x is toonami on adult swim now?

01:07 <ADragonDreaming> It was at one point?

01:07 <SaultSteMarie> cause like toonami used to be the afternoon block and adult swim was like uncensored animes for -adults-

01:08 <SaultSteMarie> But this tokyo ghost thing looks a bit intense for an afternoon block

01:17 <VinylScratch> <SaultSteMarie> Does anyone make like fake, decorative flux capacitors yet? - They have for years.

01:25 * Thelema5 boops Vulpor

01:25 <KooK> I finally cut down the two remaining crab apple trees in my front yard, working on the Mustang, working on the Supra, working on the boat...

01:26 <Thelema5> Would you say the trees were... crabby?  :p

01:26 <Vulpor> So let me ask everyone something

01:26 <Thelema5> Shoot

01:26 <Vulpor> I have a fever but no other symptoms

01:27 <Vulpor> 102

01:27 <Vulpor> stomach is fine

01:27 <Vulpor> i got a bit of a cough

01:27 <Thelema5> Hmm.  A fever is usually a sign of an infection of some sort.

01:27 <KooK> Dude, my hands are tore up because of those trees

01:28 <Thelema5> KooK, wear work gloves?

01:28 <KooK> I got maybe half the limbs ready to be picked up, took me 5 hours just for the limbs.  Took another few hours to cut them down and organize crud so I could start cleaning up.

01:28 <KooK> I just wore rubber gloves, I don't have work gloves

01:28 <Thelema5> Make the investment.  Well worth it.

01:29 <Thelema5> Vulpor, how long have you had this fever?

01:29 <Vulpor> a day or two

01:29 <Vulpor> ibprophin seems to work on it

01:29 <Vulpor> fever reducers I mean

01:30 <Thelema5> I wouldn't let it go more than 3 days before seeking medical attention

01:30 <Vulpor> it just will take time

01:30 <Vulpor> oh come tommorrow I will see a doctor

01:31 <Vulpor> if its still with me

01:31 <Thelema5> Oh, good.  I hope it's nothing serious.

01:31 <Vulpor> a shower helps

01:31 <Vulpor> water is being pounded too

01:32 <Thelema5> KooK, how freaking big were these trees that they gave you so much trouble?

01:32 <Vulpor> my appetite seems to be up then usual as well

01:33 <Vulpor> capcom is releasing all the NES disney games in HD

01:33 <Ali> Too bad one of them was already remastered :P

01:34 <Vulpor> they are calling it................the Disney Afternoon bundle

01:34 <Vulpor> very cool I never did play Ducktales on NES

01:34 <Ali> I have, also have Ducktales Remastered on Steam.

01:35 <Vulpor> and I hear they got Alan Young to do voice acting as Scrooge

01:35 <Vulpor> His last time doing it before he passed

01:35 <Ali> Yep

01:35 <Vulpor> To be fair he was 88 or so

01:36 <Ali> It'll take some time for me to get used to the new voice of Scrooge.

01:36 <Vulpor> I remember still tearing up though and watching a season of Ducktales

01:36 <Vulpor> oh god I am still waiting on a date for that

01:36 <JackieDepressed> Tbh, Overwatch is pure cancer. It's being talked everywhere than TF2.

01:36 <Vulpor> im more excited for new ducktales then new pony

01:37 <VinylScratch> That doesn't actually make it bad, JackieDepressed

01:37 <VinylScratch> Just because X is popular doesn't make it a bad thing

01:37 <Vulpor> Ducktales and the Adventures of TinTin and Snowy made me want to travel

01:37 <Schism> That's how hipsters get started.  :S

01:38 <JackieDepressed> I just don't like the game. It floods my news feed

01:38 <VinylScratch> I mean I get the fatigue, but its popular because it's actually a decent title folks enjoy

01:38 <Vulpor> and save money

01:38 <VinylScratch> also, here's a point...why did you bring it up to begin with?

01:38 <JackieDepressed> As me being an f2p, I can still rate my opinion on how it went

01:39 <JackieDepressed> OW has flaws anyway

01:39 <VinylScratch> every game has flaws. :P

01:39 <VinylScratch> I mean look at ME Andromeda. xD

01:39 <Schism> Half-Life 2 was full of flaws.  o3o;

01:43 <SaultSteMarie> Schism yes let us all twitter their myspace page.

01:43 <Goatroth> "your father is dead :)"

01:43 <Schism> Vulpor: Oh, I'm sure it won't be worse than Alien: Colonial Marines.

01:43 <VinylScratch> Hahaha

01:44 <Vulpor> Lets all hope not

01:44 <Vulpor> or Dragan Age 2

01:44 <Schism> Ooh, new chapter of Starlight over Detrot.  *devour*

01:45 <VinylScratch> He's talking about a fanfic. :P

01:47 <Schism> How funny?  One of the recurring characters is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Detroit Morgue, Party Supply and Ice Cream Shoppe.

01:47 <Goatroth> Mass Effect died with the ending of the third game. I had no hopes for Andromeda because it was neither needed or wanted.

01:47 <VinylScratch> Mass effect is a franchise

01:47 <VinylScratch> at least it is now

01:47 <VinylScratch> so there will, if they deem it needed, be spinoff titles.

01:47 <Schism> Look, everyone knows that the Halo series died with Marathon Infinity, there's no need to go past that.

01:48 <VinylScratch> what you think isn't needed or wanted doesn't line up with what they think. :P

01:48 <Goatroth> What I mean is they have no right to develop any more games after the crap they spit out for the ending.

01:48 * VinylScratch shrugs

01:48 <Goatroth> "How do we end an insanely popular video game trilogy? RBG endings!"

01:48 <VinylScratch> they disagree, and so do the people still willing to buy into it

01:48 <Goatroth> RGB*

01:48 <VinylScratch> I never really played ME much outside of 2 myself

01:49 <VinylScratch> all I know is there are people quite keen to play more STILL...some of them being friends of mine

01:49 <Schism> No right?  Eh.  They never had any right to have people /buy/ the games.  They have every right to produce them, but they shouldn't expect too much.  (They'll likely /get/ too much, even if the box only contains pieces of DVD-shaped fertilizer.)

01:50 <Goatroth> I tried the demo of the second when it was released and loved it, then realized I had to play the first to get an idea of what was going on, and suffered through the utterly abysmal inventory system that they presented us with in an otherwise good game.

01:50 <Schism> Saying that the creators have no right to do more is somewhat ridiculous.

01:50 <VinylScratch> ^

01:50 <Goatroth> But then I played the second and realized it was a masterpiece.

01:50 <VinylScratch> You disagreeing is fine, but them not having 'any right' because of peoples opinions on their work is ridiculous

01:51 <Goatroth> I stopped halfway through my first playthrough of ME3 when I found out about the ending and how Bioware basically spit on us for being fans of the series for so long.

01:51 <Goatroth> I still haven't bothered picking it up again.

01:51 <VinylScratch> yes, yes, bitterness and sour grapes.

01:51 <Goatroth> Lol, you like taking things people say literally, don't you?

01:51 * Golden hath claimed the master sword.

01:51 <VinylScratch> Nope. x3

01:51 <Goatroth> Sure seems like it.

01:51 <VinylScratch> Just saying that you sure make it seem like you're bitter. :P

01:55 <Schism> SaultSteMarie, hah.  Oh, come on, at least Marathon and Marathon 2: Durandal were great, right?  I mean, okay, Infinity's time jumps were obnoxious, but even then...

01:55 <SaultSteMarie> ""Matlab" in Hindi literally stands for "meaning" - although it's pronounced Muth-lub (both u's pronounced as in the English word "hut")."

01:55 <SaultSteMarie> Oh so like "Kya matlab hai?" would be "What does this mean?" I guess.

01:55 <RazorSharpFang> Schism: But then you need an account. : /

01:55 <SaultSteMarie> Schism: fwiw I only played the first one much

01:55 <RazorSharpFang> Schism: Whereas octave is available online for no cost.

01:55 <Schism> RSF: Ah, I see.

01:55 <SaultSteMarie> Also I was playing it in uni when I was a freshman cause everyone else was into Halo so I could just be all like

01:56 <Schism> SaultSteMarie, "I was into Halo before it was /Halo./"

01:56 <SaultSteMarie> "Aight billy, see what I got here? This yer granpappy's halo. This a game for REAL MANS."

01:56 <Schism> None o' yer 'regenerating health'!

01:56 <Goatroth> I was forced to play Halo by an old online buddy of mine. :V

01:56 * Schism frog blasts the vent core.

01:56 <Goatroth> "Get Halo and play it with me!"

01:56 <VinylScratch> I preferred stuffs like Blood and Quake, good ol' classics

01:56 <Schism> Best thing to come out of the actual Halo franchise, though, IMO, was the radio drama for "I Love Bees".

01:56 <VinylScratch> Never cared much for halo

01:56 <Goatroth> UT was my poison of choice.

01:56 <VinylScratch> Oh UT is the stuff

01:57 <Goatroth> Especially UT2004, but that came later.

01:57 <SaultSteMarie> I was more into like UT and Unreal ya

01:57 <SaultSteMarie> I dooon't think my old laptop could handl 2K4.

01:57 <Schism> Quake 3 Arena was of the joy.

01:57 <SaultSteMarie> god i played Q3A so much when I was a freshman in highschool that I can't play it anymore

01:57 <VinylScratch> I only ever owned the dreamcast version, lol

01:58 <SaultSteMarie> there was like some trippy Quake 3 mod and I forgot what it was called

01:58 <VinylScratch> and even then I can't remember for how long I had that

01:58 <Goatroth> So many adrenaline-and-jitters-filled nights playing UT2004 for hours and hours...

01:58 <Schism> There were a lot of trippy Quake 3 mods.

01:58 <SaultSteMarie> this one was really cartoonish and I think it had ACID TRIP or something in its name

01:58 <Schism> And some rather ridiculous Half-Life ones, too, like Rocket Crowbar.

01:58 <SaultSteMarie> I got a copy of Ut2K4 and Sufjan Stevens' Illinoise around the same time

01:59 <SaultSteMarie> so like they don't really make me nostalgic for eachother because I find myself listening to Seven Swans and Michigan a lot more anyway.

01:59 <SaultSteMarie> This story went nowhere. I'm sorry.

01:59 <Goatroth> I used to host giant deathmatches for my old IRC network on my own computer, with the UT2004 demo. Those were great times. :D

02:00 <SaultSteMarie> But yeah I think I played Ut more than Quake eventually because the bot AI's a lot better and you have more personality parameters to play with

02:00 <Goatroth> I was so hyped for it too, after the disaster that was UT2003.

02:00 <Schism> True, there weren't too many adjustments which could be made in Q3A on that level, until you got into the really extensive mods.

02:01 <SaultSteMarie> http://acidarenaweb.free.fr/ Oh. It was just this

02:01 <Goatroth> They made so many improvements to the entire game.

02:01 <SaultSteMarie> Quake 2 had some coold bot mods i sort of remember?

02:01 <SaultSteMarie> man now i want to replay Quake 2 /and/ Toki Tori 2.

02:02 <SaultSteMarie> Oh man I found some site calling Quake 3 an "ego shooter." That's not a thing I've heard in awhile :3

02:02 <Schism> Heh.  How about that Tribes 2?

02:03 * Schism skis down a mountainside for to capture a flag, but gets hit with an opponent's Spinfusor.

02:03 <SaultSteMarie> i never got into that although I think that's because like... you know how when an online FPS is going on long enough that all the servers use increasingly esoteric mods?

02:04 <SaultSteMarie> That are completely incomprehensible if you're new to the game?

02:04 <SaultSteMarie> I remember Tribes 2 having that a lot

02:04 <SaultSteMarie> Quake 3 did too which is why I never really played it online until QuakeLive

02:04 * ADragonDreaming has fond memories of ut2k3, doesn't get the "disaster" claim

02:04 *** Joins: The_Nostalgia_Mare (Nossy@Pony-3k76mg.9i58.hldl.1006.2600.IP)

02:05 <SaultSteMarie> ADD: UT2K3 only had like three endings and they were all based on really late game choices.

02:05 <Schism> The Shifter mod was kinda substantial, but it was actually reasonable in terms of what it did for the game.

02:05 <ADragonDreaming> ...I never saw the endings.

02:06 <ADragonDreaming> seriously, wasn't that the game where the "story" was just a deathmatch series with no story?

02:06 * Schism hums the Mortal Kombat theme.

02:06 * Schism then switches to the theme of Twisted Metal.

02:07 <SaultSteMarie> (Dragon i was just joking :S)

02:08 <ADragonDreaming> That super did not come through.

02:12 <Goatroth> Fans of UT99 didn't like it at all, and I was one of them.

02:13 <Goatroth> It didn't really feel like a UT game somehow, but UT2004 did.

02:13 <SaultSteMarie> wasn't ut2k4 just 2k3 with like onslaught, blitzball, and assault

02:13 <Goatroth> UT3 was far worse though and pretty much killed off the series until they started making the new one, many years later. Still in "alpha" I think though. But free!

02:14 <Goatroth> Blitzball?

02:14 <SaultSteMarie> er

02:14 <SaultSteMarie> bombing run

02:14 <Goatroth> No that was in UT2003.

02:14 <SaultSteMarie> oh

02:14 <SaultSteMarie> so just onslaught and assault

02:14 * Schism looks through some old discs. "Anachronox, Inca II, Civilization 4--NO BAD ABSOLUTELY NOT I'm not doing that 12-step program again!"

02:14 <SaultSteMarie> i have Anachronox i should play it

02:15 <Goatroth> It wasn't about the game modes, though. I mean yeah, bringing back assault was a good step, and onslaught was a welcome addition (vehicle combat!), but there was more to it. The game had a certain "feel" to it that just felt wrong.

02:15 <SaultSteMarie> i have a ridiculous collection of PC games cause there's this flea market down south of here a few hours, by the giant Jesus statue that burned down, and there was a guy there that was selling used PC games and he used to be like EH YOU GET 20 FOR FIVE DOLLARS.

02:15 <Schism> Niiiice.

02:16 <SaultSteMarie> Then he went insane when Obama got elected, closed his shopped, and just plastered the walls with conspiracy theory pamphlets

02:16 <Goatroth> It's hard to put into words, honestly. All I can say for sure is that I could never git gud at UT2003 for some unknown reason because it felt "off", but I started pwning instantly as soon as I fired up the UT2004 demo and got into my first deathmatch.

02:17 <SaultSteMarie> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-XXESKr57s right, it's by where this happened

02:17 <SaultSteMarie> Schism, you ever play like Alpha Centauri or any of the post-Civ 4 civs, such as Civ 5 or Civ 6?

02:18 <SaultSteMarie> oh okay if you like Civ 4 you'd probably like AC.

02:18 <Goatroth> But speaking of ridiculous game collections... Humble Bundle and Steam sales have blessed me with a gigantic collection of games on Steam. Games are almost too cheap these days.

02:18 <SaultSteMarie> Civ 4 was kinda them bringing a lot of AC stuff back into Civ

02:19 <SaultSteMarie> i think the world conquest side of 4x is kind of boring :S AC has, in its way, more of a narrative focus?

02:25 <KooK> Wait, it might be the wrong operating system.  I need windows...

02:25 * Schism looks for that collection of games he had. He's pretty sure UT2k4 was part of that.

03:44 <Schism> Also good, I've heard, is ROGUE One.

03:46 <SaultSteMarie> it'd be neat if there was a game like Civ 4 that wasn't focused on conquest but just on building :S

03:47 <Schism> Not quite global, tho.  It takes place in Egypt, and each player is one 'unit', requiring a lot of cooperation.

03:51 <SaultSteMarie> so it's basically just like a rotating op position kinda?

03:52 <Schism> Not even rotating: the ability is there until the end of the game's run.

03:52 <SaultSteMarie> ah

03:52 <Schism> But yeah.  The players were more likely to pass a law banning someone than to have a Demi-Pharaoh actually ban a player.

03:52 <DriftedAway> how dare you beet me in a game! baned from the servers!!!!

03:52 <SaultSteMarie> Beets are rouge, sort of

03:53 <Schism> Also, said game has no inherent currency, making everything a barter economy, and there's no combat per se.

05:26 <WildStar> hello

05:26 * DashedRainbows flies in

05:27 <DashedRainbows> Hello WildStar

05:27 <WildStar> How are you?

05:30 <DashedRainbows> Not too bad, I felt pretty bad earlier, but now I feel better

05:30 <WildStar> how come?

05:31 <Finwe> Good morning, my small perissodactyls.

05:31 <DashedRainbows> Many reasons, most are my fault

05:32 * DashedRainbows hats on Finwe

05:32 * Finwe doffs his DashedRainbows.

05:32 <WildStar> perissodactyls?

05:32 <WildStar> howdy Finwe

05:33 <Finwe> Hello, WildStar.

05:33 * DashedRainbows is doffed

05:33 <WildStar> how are you Finwe?

05:34 <Finwe> And yes, perissodactyls. Not pterodactyls, not artiodactyls.

05:34 <Finwe> WildStar: Sleepy. It's 7:34 AM. x.x

05:35 <Finwe> And what am I doing? Checking Ethernet wiring, because someone has messed up the switch.

05:36 <Finwe> Now it is in working order again.

05:36 <WildStar> huh....

05:36 <WildStar> and yay ethernet

05:38 <DashedRainbows> Glad it's working again.

05:38 <DashedRainbows> How are you, WildStar?

05:38 <WildStar> I am ok

05:38 <WildStar> trying to decide on what to do

05:38 <WildStar> a little worn out

05:41 <DashedRainbows> Yeah same here

05:41 <Finwe> WildStar: You see, there are two kinds of ungulates, even-toed and odd-toed.

05:42 <Finwe> Even-toed ungulates form the order Artiodactyla, and odd-toed ungulates the order Perissodactyla.

05:43 * Schism rolls over to Finwe, and offers a slice or two of garlic bread.

05:43 <Finwe> The family Equidae, to which even ponies belong, is in the order Perissodactyla.

05:44 <Finwe> And as ponies do not rank among the larger perissodactyls, "my small perissodactyls" can be interpreted as "little ponies".

05:45 <DashedRainbows> I was told that there were some not ponies here

05:46 <Finwe> o3o

05:46 <Schism> Equines of diminutive size?  I don't think they exist.

05:47 <Finwe> Could of course have been small asses or zebras as well.

05:48 <Finwe> But there are no specifically small zebra species.

05:49 <Finwe> The mountain zebras and Grévy's zebras are quite large.

05:49 <DashedRainbows> Small equines? Preposterous

05:49 <Schism> Snrk.  The CMC recognize that their efforts to create something useful usually result in an explosion - and so they go and try to build something which explodes.  The result is an implosion and antigravity field.

05:54 <Schism> Hum.  Could make chili, could make beef stew, or could make clam chowder... which to nom, which to nom.

05:54 * Finwe boops Schism with a quagga.

05:54 <WildStar> Finwe - sorry was afk

05:55 <Finwe> Well, you just missed a lecture on taxonomy.

05:55 <WildStar> I noticed it

05:55 <WildStar> I appreciate it on the grounds of my interest in prehistoric creatures

05:56 <WildStar> I would say dinosaurs, but...

05:56 <Finwe> Pterodactyls were an order of dinosaurs.

05:56 * Schism makes a plush in the shape of a quagga. "Hmm. Some scientists are attempting to bring them back in a sense, via selective breeding..."

05:56 <DashedRainbows> Taxonomy is magic, as they say

05:59 <Finwe> Or well, not of dinosaurs, actually.

06:00 <Finwe> A genus of pterosaurs, to be exact.

06:01 <Finwe> "Pterodactylos" is Greek for wing-fingered.

06:01 <SaultSteMarie> wingered?

06:02 <DashedRainbows> Finged

06:03 <unicodingunicorn_> heya!

06:04 <Finwe> Hmm, whales are artiodactyls as well.

06:04 <Finwe> Though of very special kind.

06:04 <DashedRainbows> Hi unicodingunicorn_

06:17 <SaultSteMarie> https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qmVO6nKCOYg/maxresdefault.jpg super prettty

06:17 <SaultSteMarie> honestly i like how you have the crocodilian/dinosaur/bird clade

06:18 <SaultSteMarie> so with some logical gymnastics you could sort of posit that alligators are a sort of basal large, terrestrial, quadrupedal bird.

06:21 <Finwe> SaultSteMarie: Crocodiles are not in the clade Dinosauria.

06:23 * DashedRainbows is an uneducated hick D:

06:24 <SaultSteMarie> I meant the archosaur clade

06:24 <SaultSteMarie> wait is that a clade

06:24 <Finwe> Yes, it is.

06:25 <Finwe> Archosaurs, the ruling lizards. o3o

06:25 * Schism wonders, "If you heat the bones of a family of creatures in a sterilization chamber, would that make it an autoclade?"

06:43 <Starwatcher> ^^ it's basically about using upper atmosphere measurements on earth to predict what the weather is in space

06:43 <nyditch> Oh neat

06:43 <Starwatcher> we fly high altitude balloons in the stratosphere with detectors on them to do it

06:43 <Finwe> Starwatcher: Geophysics?

06:44 <Starwatcher> yeah very close

06:44 <nyditch> Finwe: There's a lot of stuff filtered out by the atmosphere By getting readings up in the stratosphere, you can pick up a lot more data.

06:45 <nyditch> whole ranges of wavelengths we don't really see in the lower atmosphere and such

06:45 <nyditch> which is lucky for us

06:46 <nyditch> o.o

06:47 <Starwatcher> DashedRainbows: it's a bit of an abuse of words

06:48 <Starwatcher> DashedRainbows: we call the behaviour of magnetic fields, electric fields, and plasma up there "weather"

06:48 <Starwatcher> mostly because it all comes from the sun

06:48 <DashedRainbows> Oh ok I see

06:48 <nyditch> There's plenty of stuff to measure that's going on out there in the big ol' vacuum of space

06:48 <Starwatcher> yea it's kinda mis-labeled imho

07:31 <nyditch> Is it worth $400?

07:31 <KooK_> mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe

07:31 <Schism> Well, if it's what you're looking for, if you think it'll suit your purposes and last long enough to be /worth/ $400...

07:32 <KooK_> It's really a roll of the dice because I'm buying it off of somebody who doesn't specialize in toughbooks

07:32 <Finwe> Yes, for $200.

07:33 <KooK_> It's on the e-bays

07:33 <KooK_> $200 would be an insane deal

07:33 <KooK_> $400 is already a decent deal, but like I said, it's a slight roll of the dice

07:34 <Finwe> I can sell you my HP EliteBook for $300.

07:34 <KooK_> I have sented you the link

07:34 <ConfusionRift> A Toughbook? Careful with those.

07:34 <KooK_> I know, they're fragile

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

07:35 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (Vocals Half-Step Out of Key)

07:35 <The_Nostalgia_Mare> One more for the road.

07:35 <ConfusionRift> Actually, it's more about their maintenance that becomes a bit problematic. Some of those were built to rely on very low maintenance, so anything that might happen could make them hard to open and verify.

07:36 <KooK> Good 2:35am DashedRainbows

07:36 <KooK> ConfusionRift - This will be my 3rd Toughbook

07:36 <DashedRainbows> Oh in CST too cool

07:37 <ConfusionRift> If you're already familiar with them, then it's up to you.

07:37 <KooK> I actually broke my 2nd one after throwing it in anger.  Not because it did anything wrong...

07:37 <KooK> I was upset

07:38 <ConfusionRift> Toughbooks may be up your alley then. :P

07:38 <KooK> ConfusionRift - Here's the issue, I don't know if it has the OS loaded.  However since it's a CF-31 Panasonic has all the drivers still on their website.

07:38 <KooK> It has 6,820 hours on it, which is actually decently low for a lot of toughbooks.  I normally see them with 10-15k hours

07:39 <KooK> Has everything I want for the hard drive, processor, and options, I believe.

07:39 <KooK> Here

07:39 <ConfusionRift> Depending on where it comes from, it may be formatted. Chances are it is, so no OS.

07:40 <KooK> I sent you of the links

09:59 <RazorSharpFang> Schism: Yeah, it gets like that a lot, especially so for Nintendo stuffs.

10:02 <Schism> I don't understand this level of commitment to something like that.  7/10 should be a pretty fine score for a game, IMO.  Zelda games shouldn't deserve a 10/10 across the board just because they're a Zelda console release title.  *cough eight point eight*

10:02 <ConfusionRift> Haven't played it, sooooo... no clue.

10:03 <ConfusionRift> But I agree.

10:03 <ConfusionRift> 7/10 is still pretty good on today's standards.

10:04 <Schism> Take Stardew Valley for comparison, which I have spent entirely too many hours playing.  Do I love the game to death?  Sure.  On a ten-point scale, how great is it?  Ehh... 7.5?  It's not incredibly varied, the combat is lackluster, the villagers should have been more defined, et cetera.

10:04 <ConfusionRift> Then again, many other games that SHOULD have such scores receive better scores for no reason.

10:04 <Schism> ConfusionRift, there's a four-point scale for many reviewers looking at AAA titles: where 7/10 is considered not 'a good, respectable game', but 'a failure! How could they feed us such tripe!?'

10:05 <Electron> Howdy.

10:05 <Schism> Hiyas.

16:08 <SaultSteMarie> I didn't really get recursion till I started playing around with lisp

16:08 <SaultSteMarie> probably because it's a lot more consistently useful in lisp than in C++ idk

16:09 <SaultSteMarie> but then i stopped using lisp because the common lisp community is terrible

16:09 <Cepheid> It's got it's uses in C and C++, but it's limited due to the stack size.

16:10 <SaultSteMarie> Exactly.

16:11 <SaultSteMarie> so like even when it seemed useful I never felt *safe* using it.

16:11 <Cepheid> There's also the issue of performance.

16:11 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by ExplodingPonyToast: Music: Metapony - Moonight [Progressive House] [ http://tinyurl.com/n39obkl ]

16:11 <Cepheid> Calling a function requires a full stack frame setup for each call.  This takes time.  In many cases, an iterative approach is better than a recursive approach.

16:12 <Cepheid> But more complicated to implement, admittedly.

16:12 <SaultSteMarie> I'm pretty sure common lisp is a lot more efficient if you use an interative approach

16:14 <SaultSteMarie> Which still gives you access to plenty of neat functional programming features.

16:14 <Cepheid> Hum, question for VinylScratch, since they'd likely know the answer to this:  What are the Persona 3 and 4 Reincarnation OSTs?  OSTs for the movies/anime?

16:14 <SaultSteMarie> Even if iterative isn't like "pure" LISP-y coding or whatever. I got the impression the CL community cared a lot about purity, idk

16:14 <VinylScratch> I...only played Persona 4. o.o

16:14 <VinylScratch> thats as far as my Persona knowledge goes

16:15 <Cepheid> Ah.

16:15 <Cepheid> I was always under the impression you saw the movies and anime, so.. :P

16:15 <Cepheid> Ah, the Reincarnation OSTs are actually just arranged versions of the original OSTs.

16:22 <SaultSteMarie> Cepheid no, when the drivers break like this they keep switching the output to the monitor every 30 minutes or so and when they do that, if I'm running a game it crashes hard.

16:23 <Cepheid> Geeze.

16:23 <SaultSteMarie> I thought this was related to AMD driver updates but I updated them awhile ago and this just started now so

16:24 <Cepheid> My laptop doesn't work with Windows 10 and Suspend.

16:25 <LunaticHell> Win10 oh bow

16:25 <LunaticHell> boy*

16:25 <Cepheid> I know what causes the problem, but unfortunately it's not something I can remove.  I can only disable the device in Windows Device Manager.

16:26 <LunaticHell> Huh

16:26 <SaultSteMarie> MSI Afterburner would cause my system to crash coming out of hibernate

16:27 <Cepheid> The cause of the breakdown is the Intel Management Engine.

16:27 <Cepheid> For whatever reason, if that device is active, my laptop won't stay in suspend mode under Windows 10.

16:27 <Cepheid> It goes into suspend, then is immediately woken up, then goes back into suspend, then immediately woken up.  Repeat ad-infinitum.

16:28 <Cepheid> Kills the battery faster than running Windows 10 out of suspend mode.

16:29 <SaultSteMarie> Anyway, time to reinstall the audio drivers and restart and like maybe sacrifice a chicken

17:34 <Fn> You'd have no clue how it chooches inside

17:38 * Cepheid reminds self that if incomplete information is given, such as no standard deviation or mean, but a range is given, that the mean and standard deviation can be calculated from the range. Or at least estimated.

17:38 <Cepheid> ... How is statistics even a reasonable field given that it's full of estimates?

17:48 <johnsey> because probability!

17:49 <Cepheid> I just calculated the standard deviation using the somewhat inaccurate (max-min)/4 approach, and the mean by using (max-min)/2 approach because I was lacking any reasonable amount of information for either value.  This isn't probability, it's assuming.

17:50 <Finwe> o3o

17:52 <Cepheid> I'm given the minimum value 4800, the maximum value 13000, the confidence interval of 95%, the standard error of 500, and nothing else.  I'm to calculate what the number of samples, n.

17:54 <Cepheid> ... A single scientist on a research base.

17:54 <Cepheid> Can't imagine he was getting much done.

17:57 <SaultSteMarie> well like they were the head scientist

17:57 <Cepheid> Ah.

17:59 <SaultSteMarie> but it doesn't matter because they're dead now

18:08 * Tempo doesn't let the silly filly lick it up. It wouldn't be good to consume it.

18:08 <LunaticHell> I didn't think mixing those two liquids would cause the solution to become...

18:08 <Schism> LunaticHell: That's an Irish Car Bomb.  What's wrong with that?

18:08 <LunaticHell> ...solid

18:08 <Schism> Um...

18:08 <Schism> Okay, that's odd.

18:09 <LunaticHell> Yeah it's like mixing coke and milk

18:09 <Schism> Oh, it does require that it be downed almost instantly.

18:09 <LunaticHell> It's a shot, right?

18:09 <LunaticHell> I tried to mix it in a big glass

18:10 <LunaticHell> I made a mess of the everything.

18:10 <Cepheid> That would do it, yes.

18:10 * Cepheid needs a break from statistics for now.

18:10 <Cepheid> I find it interesting how I'm having an easier time with this statistics assignment over the previous one.

18:14 <Cepheid> Mmm, I should probably stop assignment work for the day period.  Just realized I've been going since mmm... 8 PM?  So about 6 hours straight.

18:18 * Finwe hugs a LunaticHell.

18:18 * LunaticHell then hugs a Finwe

18:19 <Finwe> o3o

18:19 * LunaticHell then scratches his head

18:19 <LunaticHell> At first I thought I forgot to add the article, then I realised that I ping'd the wrong person.

18:19 <Cepheid> Finwe:  Honestly I don't know how you put up with all this math.

18:20 <Cepheid> Or how you keep it all memorized.

18:20 <LunaticHell> [by article I mean "a"]

18:20 <SaultSteMarie> Man I imagine the phrase Irish Car bomb would be really offensive in certain places

18:20 <LunaticHell> Oh math isn't too much about memorizing

18:20 <Finwe> Cepheid: It's what I want to study. o3o

18:20 <LunaticHell> It's much more about following an equation to its logical conclusion.

18:21 <Cepheid> Fair enough, Finwe.  It follows for me as well with programming.

18:21 <LunaticHell> It's like a balancing act on a rope, you don't need to memorize how to walk, but you need to follow the thread to its end.

18:22 <LunaticHell> Finwe: issat fair to say?

18:22 <Cepheid> I pick up languages with extreme ease, memorize the details even more easily, and so on.  For me, programming is equivalent to you performing mathematics.  We live and breathe our respective fields.

18:22 <LunaticHell> And I have no field. xD

18:23 <Cepheid> That or you just haven't found one that interests you yet.

18:24 <LunaticHell> Well *glup* with me being 30 years old being undecided gets less and less excuseable.

18:24 <Cepheid> I know a person who went from wanting to be a doctor to wanting to be a trucker.  He was 50 years old.

18:25 <Cepheid> It's never too late to figure out what you want to do.  The more thought you put into it, the better things will be.

18:28 <LunaticHell> Let's hope "not too late" translates to "very soon" for me.

18:31 <SaultSteMarie> i am 29 and have no idea what i want to do

18:31 <SaultSteMarie> well, i mean, longer term goals

18:32 <SaultSteMarie> more immediately I think I'm going to go for a walk, grab some sushi, and more Saturn games I don't need.

18:32 <SaultSteMarie> fwiw I'm kind of waffling on this though.

18:32 <Cepheid> Heh.

18:33 <Cepheid> Immediately, I have a statistics assignment due on Wednesday evening.  That's what I was working on.  For the most part it's done.  Only three questions remaining.

18:33 <SaultSteMarie> I'm bad at long term goal planning. I just do things and things happen
