02:56 <Thelema5> Nope!

02:56 * Schism flies past Bubble-Berry in a remarkable frame. "Option. Option. Option."

02:57 <Schism> What are you doing with Jehuty!

02:58 <Bubble-Berry> Is it bad I found the Vic Viper fight way harder than even the final Anubis fight?

02:58 <Schism> Nah, Leo is a serious pain in the tail, and for good reason.

02:58 <Bubble-Berry> Like it took me hours to beat Leo. It took me maybe 30 minutes to beat Nohman.

02:59 * Gladiolus licks Thelema5

02:59 <Bubble-Berry> Gladiolus you should play Zone of the Enders: The Second Runner

02:59 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (Zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Quit: Ping timeout: -1 second)

02:59 <Schism> That fight does, at least, have one of the best themes in the game.

02:59 <Bubble-Berry> It's probably better than Ace Combat 5

02:59 * Thelema5 tastes of valerian root

03:00 <Bubble-Berry> Well, I personally think the main theme is one of the best themes in gaming

03:00 <Sombra> Can't have any Valerian root

03:00 <Sombra> Exaserbates panic

03:00 <Thelema5> I find that it helps me sleep

03:00 <Bubble-Berry> Remember when they played an orchestral version when you shot down the warships?

03:00 <Bubble-Berry> Singlehandedly?

03:00 <Thelema5> Panic is no fun

03:01 <Bubble-Berry> Isn't Valerian a French comic?

03:01 <Thelema5> It is, with an epic feature film due out soon

03:02 <Thelema5> I don't know why they named the thing after a medicinal plant which smells like spoiled cheese

03:03 <Thelema5> But the movie looks exciting

03:05 <Thelema5> If you haven't already seen the trailer you look it up

03:05 <Thelema5> *should

03:08 <Schism> Valerian root was once considered a vital part of many a panacea.  Nowadays, a lot of very gullible people take it as a supplement for things they don't actually have.

03:08 <Schism> Whether that equates to the feature film in any way, shape or form, I can't honestly say.

03:10 <Thelema5> It is demonstrated to act as a mild sedative

03:10 <Schism> There are better and less disruptive sedatives.  Diphenhydrinate works pretty well.

03:11 <Bubble-Berry> Maybe it's because the movie is a mild sedative

03:11 <Thelema5> That gives me night sweats XD

03:12 <Schism> Oh yeah, Thelema5, did you hit up a doctor?

03:12 <Thelema5> No, but I picked up some potassium supplements as you suggested

03:13 <Thelema5> I just hope I can get some sleep tonight- I've been awake for two days

03:13 * Schism nods, even if that's just a small part of things.

03:14 <Thelema5> Going to bed now.  Goodnight everybody!

06:34 <iandalton> Hello everypony

06:35 <Schism> Okay, I'm done beating my head against that endless maze.  Though... how the blazes did I somehow get 7,220 points on my second try, yet be unable to beat that?

06:35 <iandalton> My brand new contacts scratched my cornea :-(

06:35 <Schism> Eeee.  You got eyedrops?  ._.

06:35 <DinkyDoo> Hi Starwatcher

06:36 <iandalton> Yeah. I switched contacts a week ago, and it seemed like the new lenses had a problem. I went without contacts for a week just to be sure, and I tried them again today, and my eye got scratched again.

06:37 <DinkyDoo> I just use glasses

06:37 <iandalton> I used to use glasses, but I switched a couple years ago.

06:37 <iandalton> I really like contacts.

06:37 <DinkyDoo> They work flawlessly lol unless I sit on them :p that would be bad

06:37 <DinkyDoo> iandalton I don't switch cus 2 factors.

06:38 <iandalton> They were making the bridge of my nose uncomfortable by the end of the day.

06:38 <DinkyDoo> One only one pair ever needed if you take good care of them!

06:38 <Schism> Me, can't stand contacts.  Maybe they'd be fine, but... I just can't get over the idea of putting something on my eye like that.

06:38 <DinkyDoo> Two I'm lazy and putting and pulling something from eye everyday is to much work

06:38 <Schism> ^!

06:38 <iandalton> DinkyDoo glasses get scratched over time. Even though I think I took pretty good care of them, I did eventually get new glasses.

06:38 <iandalton> But the new ones were heavier and uncomfortable, so that's when I went and tried contacts

06:38 <DinkyDoo> I still got my original pair

06:39 <Schism> Glasses also have the benefit of providing one with transitions lenses, which are a blessing if one's mildly photophobic like me.

06:39 <DinkyDoo> From like 4 years ago

06:39 <iandalton> putting contacts in isn't a lot of work, takes 5 seconds

06:39 <DinkyDoo> My grandfather has had his for 22 years same damn pair. He just takes them in every year to get ajusted make sure the frames are good

06:40 <iandalton> wow my prescription doesn't stay stable over a long time

06:40 <DinkyDoo> And involves dropping something on your eye. I seculate that over time this would lead to a lack of "oh god! Something is coming near my eye! *Slams eyelids*" reactions

06:41 <DinkyDoo> But I'm not going to test my hypothesis

06:42 <iandalton> no, I haven't had any change in reflexes

06:42 <iandalton> obviously when I put contacts in, I'm holding the lid open

06:42 <iandalton> otherwise I'd keep blinking and be unable to get it in

06:57 * Ali wakka wakka wakka's towards ConfusionRift

06:58 <ConfusionRift> Man, I have the Championship Edition. Had it since forever, and have not played it yet.

07:01 <Schism> The Championship Edition is all well and good, and excellent in and of itself, but 256 is actually really, really neat in how it's handled.  I genuinely hate Pinky, though.  Freakin' blob runs at you at a ridiculous clip.

07:01 * Ali noms on Schism ear

07:02 * Schism eats a power pellet, then noms on Ali in turn.

07:02 <ConfusionRift> Supposedly it's a glitched, extended, and altered version. Correct?

07:02 <Black_Rose> hmm?

07:02 <Black_Rose> namco

07:02 *** Black_Rose is now known as Braixen

07:02 * Ali ish not a ghost so it doesn't effect her.

07:03 <Schism> Not exactly.  You wind up going through the maze from bottom to top, as a Kill Screen advances upon you.  Along the path, you get powerups, fruit (which gives a score multiplier), coins, and power pellets.

07:04 <Schism> As you play, you unlock abilities which then go into your 'most common' loadout, and appear on the board at various points.

07:04 <Schism> For example, Bombs power you up for a few seconds, and destroy the area around you when you run into a ghost.

07:06 <Schism> Other powerups give you better fruit, extra speed, stealth, that sort of thing.  Or you can just go for the pellets, which let you nomf down upon ghosts.

07:07 <Schism> Also, as you progress through the maze, the longer you chain your way through dots, the better.

07:07 <Schism> But if you miss one, the chain ends and you're back to 0.

07:20 <Schism> They really do.  A certain company starting with 'K' and ending in 'onami' should take lessons.

07:21 <ConfusionRift> Oh. That dead shell of a company? I suppose so. Then again, wasn't really a fan of their work.

07:22 <iandalton> Schism what fanfic are you reading nowaday? That dialogue's writing style looks familiar.

07:22 <iandalton> or is it something you wrote?

07:22 <Schism> That was actually an original clip from my brain.

07:22 <iandalton> no wonder

07:22 <Schism> CR: Eh, if they put their profits into making more Castlevania, Metal Gear or Silent Hill titles which actually fit their previous standard of excellence, they would be much better off than just a purveyor of pachinko products.

07:23 <ConfusionRift> I think the one and only thing I liked from that company was Castlevania (classics), and Gradius... sorta.

07:26 <iandalton> by the way, can anyoneby chance recommend a documentary about the cuban revolution? My friend and I started watching Che on Netflix, but it seems to expect that the viewer already has some knowledge of that era

07:27 <ConfusionRift> I don't remember there being one. If there is, it's probably in Spanish.

07:28 <iandalton> well this one is in Spanish, with English subs

07:28 *** Quits: WorkingData (DataByteBro@Pony-n3en0j.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

07:29 <ConfusionRift> Also, Che was made as a film like most films based in events. They expect the viewer to already know the event to enjoy.

07:29 <Schism> I... honestly haven't ever heard of one.  It could be said that Che Guevara's Marxist tendencies led to a dearth of films in the Western market about his rise and summary execution, lest they be tainted with red.

07:29 <iandalton> indeed

07:30 <iandalton> but I really want something about the cuban revolution in general

07:30 <Schism> Also, Cuba being a small state rather than a major European country means that very few people had an interest in its affairs until the crisis...

07:31 <iandalton> ConfusionRift there are some good historical films made in the west about marxist or other revolutionary leftists, such as Reds (the russian revolution) and Land and Freedom (the Spanish civil war)

07:31 <iandalton> and they're accessible to people who don't know the history

07:31 <ConfusionRift> I'm aware.

07:34 <ConfusionRift> I just don't know of any. There may be a documentary about Cuba before, during, and after the madness. I just don't know where.

07:34 <iandalton> looks like there are a couple on youtube. I don't know if they're good but I'll check them out.

07:35 <Schism> One of the more contested sources of details on the Cuban Revolution is this book, which writes from a self-admitted Marxist/Trotskyist perspective.  https://www.amazon.com/s?search-alias=stripbooks&field-isbn=0873485599 - it seems a bit less than popular, and I can't possibly imagine why... but it might be worth examining the situation from that standpoint.

07:36 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

07:36 <ConfusionRift> What's with the interest anyways?

07:36 <CleverDerpy> derp?

07:37 <iandalton> well my friend and I have been on a documentary kick lately, and we came across Che on Netflix. I don't know anything about that period of history, and thought it would be a good introduction, but instead it assumes you already know a lot

07:37 <iandalton> so I was left somewhat disappointed

07:37 <Schism> On a global scale, it's worth paying attention to the uprisings and political movements of smaller nations and the replacement of one political situation with another, especially in an era plagued by volatility.

07:38 <iandalton> I know a lot more european history than latin american. I should fix that.

07:38 <iandalton> I also know a fair bit of east asian history.

07:38 <ConfusionRift> They tried taking the fire out with gasoline. That's about it.

07:39 <iandalton> you mentioned trotsky, I know he fled to latin america, influenced politics there, and was killed with an ice-pick, but that's about all I know about him or his ideas

07:39 <Schism> It also helps to note that Cuba's situation brought with it a whole host of consequences regarding the Cold War, and was a startling example of realpolitik in the US and USSR.

07:40 <Schism> Whether agents provocateur played a hand in the Cuban Revolution remains debated, I believe.

07:40 <Schism> Or at least, the extent of their influence does.

07:40 <iandalton> agents provocateur = false flag?

07:42 <Vulpor> Took me awile to get in here but glad the client works now

07:43 <ConfusionRift> The Cold War did cause a lot of pain, and that include the changes in Cuba and P.R.

07:43 <ConfusionRift> Well, the smaller islands in general, since they were basically forts and ports.

07:44 <Schism> Being sovereign nations in and of themselves, but heavily influenced by outside affairs, means that the cold war became very hot within their borders.

07:44 <Schism> You can't truly look at the causes of the Cuban Revolution without also considering the state of world affairs at that time.

07:45 <ConfusionRift> You're in a small island with little to no influence. You don't have much of a choice.

07:45 <ConfusionRift> Those scars still run deep to this day.

07:46 <Schism> Mm.  And it doesn't help one whit that until recently, the US rendered numerous Cuban exports illegal or heavily taxed under tariffs.

07:46 <Schism> NATO restrictions thereof can't have helped anyone.

07:48 <Schism> That's all that cigar smoke.  But yeah, let's hold off.  This isn't exactly a hot-button topic, but it is still political.

07:49 <Schism> It's nice that we had a respectable conversation about world affairs, though, without it exploding into flames and chaos.

07:49 <ConfusionRift> I was gonna mention... you do know that some of the export costs were also instilled by the Cuban government, right?

07:50 <Schism> Yeah, though... I wonder how many of those were just concessions.

07:51 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

07:51 <iandalton> Schism David Hume thought that history was the proper field to study human nature, because it's removed from the present day enough to be uncontaminated by strong feelings, but still more involved in human affairs than cold philosophy

07:51 <Schism> I guess it's impossible to really say.  I'm sure that many of the associated documents were burned, and then their ash scattered to the four winds.

07:52 <GadgetSteamhoof> Hey guys sorry to interject but I'm looking to hire an artist for a tabletop game I have in development. If you're interested, please check this post :) http://forum.deviantart.com/jobs/offers/2300181/

07:52 <ConfusionRift> Or they never made it out.

07:52 <Schism> Yup.

07:52 <ConfusionRift> Artists? I know there were a few here, but I think they're busy at the moment.

07:52 <Schism> iandalton: In that regard, I disagree with Humean philosophy, as there is no lens by which to view history save the one we're given.

07:53 <iandalton> Schism I think what Hume meant was that we aren't personally invested in what happened so long ago, compared to discussing current affairs

07:55 <Schism> But that's just it.  Current affairs tint that lens: for example, we can't view the slave trade from Africa without a shudder of revulsion.  And how current affairs, and our own lives, influence those events which we read is evident when you look at the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah.  That tale meant something very different a few hundred years ago.

07:56 <DinkyDoo> Yes there is another lense Schism

07:56 <Schism> Although we're not personally invested, we invest our societial leanings into those tales we read.

07:56 <DinkyDoo> It's call the crazy crackpots that people don't talk about :p

07:56 <iandalton> I agree, but there's a difference in arguing politics at the local pub, and arguing history of 150 years ago at the same venue

07:57 <iandalton> one is much more likely to lead to a fist fight

07:57 <DinkyDoo> History

07:58 *** Reia_Hope is now known as Reia_Sleep

07:58 <DinkyDoo> For example. People whould like to think "America has a history of perserving freedom and justice"

07:58 <Schism> Eh.  You get folks arguing about the constitution... but you're mostly right.  The idea that historical documents could have multiple interpretations is pretty well-accepted.  Also, I fear that a fistfight between Ben Franklin and George Washington would result in the loss of the former.

07:58 *** Quits: Reia_Sleep (chatzilla@TheCowPony) (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.93 [Firefox 53.0.2/20170504105526])

07:59 <ConfusionRift> History is history. One can learn from it, probably amend from it, or even repeat it. But that's about it. Also, we're talking about events that still have its effect. So, in the end, it's always a gray zone.

07:59 <Schism> However, I would greatly like to see Voltaire and Jonathan Swift in a bar fight.

07:59 <iandalton> so Hume saw the distance we have to different subjects as going like this: first, current affairs, next, history, and furthest, philosophy

07:59 <DinkyDoo> The reality is must darker. Filled with countless broken promises the wholesale and purposeful destruction of entire cultures

08:00 <iandalton> although there is even the occasional fight over abstract philosophy http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russian-man-shot-in-quarrel-over-immanuel-kant-s-philosophy-8820327.html

08:00 <ConfusionRift> And then, there's that mess.

08:00 <Schism> I kind of like how, in an argument over incorporeal philosophy, and Immanual Kant, no less, one man took the materialist approach.

08:02 <Schism> Bullets don't argue.  They just are.  :S

08:04 * DinkyDoo shoots Schism with a Cupid bow and arrow places a muffin in from if him soon aftet

08:04 * Schism eats the luv muffin. <3

08:04 <DinkyDoo> The issue is that people these days don't stop to learn histroy

08:04 <iandalton> of course, every topic of discussion is tied to every other, but I think there's something to Hume's argument that history is in the middle and so provides a good context for examining human nature

08:04 <DinkyDoo> So they make mistakes just as bad

08:04 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-7e3cg9.dynamic.fusionbroadband.com) (Connection closed)

08:05 <Schism> That's certainly one issue, to be sure.  No myopia is quite as bad as the self-inflicted kind.

08:05 <DinkyDoo> Fun fact

08:06 <DinkyDoo> There's a group of native Americans that saw how the American government walked all over the native and broke all the promises that it caused them to form there own nation

08:07 <Schism> iandalton: The concern I have is that, while aspects of human nature can be revealed thereby, one still would need to look to the future for a full understanding.  History is also glazed with wax.

08:07 <DinkyDoo> With there own language currency, pritive school systems and a defined border. They even made treaties with the American government

08:07 <Golden> Good night everyone

08:08 <Schism> DinkyDoo, yes.  And to them I can do little but offer my fondest appreciation... it's excellent that they maintain their sovereignty even now.

08:08 <DinkyDoo> And when the Americans broke there promises (again) the when to the supreme Court. And won twice. Only the military didn't listen to oders and took there land anyway

08:10 <DinkyDoo> Odd so was reading a hostoy piece earlier

08:11 <DinkyDoo> I though that the British let the  colonies go because Spain and France sided with us (the French for a promise that was, you guessed it broken) but I had no idea the Neatherlands also sided with us

08:12 <RazorSharpFang> Does that count as politics?

08:13 <Schism> I think most of the discussion counts as politics, but as we're discussing past events in a generally decent manner, it's not actually against channel mores.

08:13 <DinkyDoo> Not really? It's very old historical fact. The point I was making is that in school we are taught about the French and Spanish helping but the Neatherlands? Not even mentioned. I find it qurious

08:14 <Schism> Though there's also morality and philosophy, but if we get into the third topic not to be discussed around dinner tables, we'll need to go elsewhere.

08:14 <ConfusionRift> Schism: That's called brake bracing, which is also against the rules.

08:14 <iandalton> DinkyDoo the treaty with France was with the King of France, when the revolution killed him and installed a new government, the US had no treaty with them. Although it's ironic since the King of France made a treaty with American revolutionaries

08:14 <Schism> Then let's call an end to the discussion for now.  I apologize if things have gotten a bit too involved.

08:14 <DinkyDoo> Brake bracing?

08:15 <DinkyDoo> I've never heard tahg term before

08:15 <Schism> DinkyDoo, when one skirts along just below the edge of the line.

08:15 <DinkyDoo> Oh

08:15 <ConfusionRift> In any case, I'm just on whatever mood. If anyone is bothered by all this, then I'll call it.

08:16 <DinkyDoo> So I just ate for first time in a whike

08:16 <iandalton> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0952Hj4fWw btw, I found what seems like a decent documentary on the cuban revolution. I'm 20 min in

08:16 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

08:16 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Cuban Revolution (Fidel Castro Raul Castro Che Guevara)

08:16 <DinkyDoo> And it was this pasta salad

08:16 <Schism> Ooh!  Thank you, iandalton.

08:16 <iandalton> so far it isn't clearly partisan

08:16 <DinkyDoo> It was so sweet and wonderful at first then it started tasting butter :(

08:16 <iandalton> although it quotes a lot from the american media's reports of the time

08:16 <Schism> CR: I dunno, I think gentle arguments about historical events are well worth it, especially in the context of the War of the Three Tribes.  But that's just me.

08:17 <DinkyDoo> Well to be fair iandalton

08:17 <DinkyDoo> The Americans are a bug factor in a bit of Cuban history

08:17 <Schism> We kinda got into that, DinkyDoo, discussing the events of the Cold War as a macrocosm for the Cuban Revolution.

08:17 <iandalton> but it also shows footage of general batista's broadcasts, quotes from fidel castro's book that he wrote in prison ,etc.

08:18 <DinkyDoo> For example we basically stole it from Spain. Then said ok guys! You on Your own! And left them with no government

08:18 <iandalton> DinkyDoo the documentary very briefly touches on Cuba's earlier history, but I suppose I'd need another documentary to really learn about that

08:18 <Schism> Ah, yup.  That's a big part too.  Leave an independent nation with no viable support and then declare that it must be on one side or the other.

08:19 <ConfusionRift> Schism: I keep getting this explanation of basically using historical events as a way to skew possible political discussions. Again, I'm in no hunting mood, unless someone is really bothered by all this.

08:19 <ConfusionRift> Seems all is okay, so it's fine.

08:19 <Schism> Eh.  I guess as long as we're not bothered, it's fair discussion.

08:20 <DinkyDoo> Yeah it's taught breafly In American history books. I think my school book had a entire (very small chapter) on it

08:20 <Schism> That's because of the Cuban Missile Crisis.  Without that, it wouldn't even be a footnote.

08:20 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and just in case. (ahem) This does not mean politics is allowed. We're just discussing past events.

08:21 <iandalton> DinkyDoo something I didn't learn in history class, but recently saw an excellent documentary about on Netflix, is the Black Panthers

08:21 <Schism> We should really, really be taught more about the countries around us.

08:21 <iandalton> I recommend it

08:21 <Schism> And a bit more about our own countries, come to think.

08:21 <DinkyDoo> Mainly how Americans at the time where outraged by various factors (that was mainly all lies anyway) and lead to the war with Cuba. I recommend reading into it

08:22 <DinkyDoo> Well here in America we are mainly taught (in my area anyway) about Canada, Cuba, mexico, Germany, and England

08:22 <Schism> DinkyDoo, the Cold War had a name for the lies told to the populaces of the US and the USSR, not to mention the states under their respective control: "Realpolitik".

08:22 <DinkyDoo> Almost nothing on France

08:23 <DinkyDoo> We just call them political cartoon and that's a subject I'll touch with a 10 foot pole

08:31 <DinkyDoo> Like did you know that the mongol empire wanted to rule Japan so badly that they built the largest invasion fleet in history? (At least untill D day) and lost the entire thing the entire fleet in a single night?

08:31 <Fn> DinkyDoo, to a storm

08:32 <ConfusionRift> See, there's a word that summarizes your position, but this is not the place for it.

08:32 <ConfusionRift> Pack mule would be the closest I can think of.

08:32 <DinkyDoo> Turns out the Chinese workers who built it didn't build them properly otherwise large amounts of the fleet would have survived

08:41 * Schism yawns, and provides pones with some butternut squash, filled with apples, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla, and topped with a ridiculous amount of butter.

08:42 * DinkyDoo flops over opin Schism with a snire

08:42 <Fn> DinkyDoo, chinese workers pulled the good 'ol swindle on Mongols

08:43 <Schism> I know I've read that tale, but I forget how that was done.

08:43 <DinkyDoo> It's a valuable lession. Double cheek work done for you from peopel who don't like yiu

08:44 <Fn> Mongols were never a sea-faring people

08:44 <Fn> Figures

08:44 <DinkyDoo> They didn't apply the waterproofing  correctly Schism and make the parts mismatch on the ships

08:44 <iandalton> Documentaries are necessarily too short to contain all the details. This documentary says that representatives of the USSR first visited Cuba in 1960, which didn't please the American politicians, but it doesn't say what led to them coming over in the first place, which would be good to know.

08:45 <Schism> That does make sense.  And because the Mongols were a land-bound army by and by, made up of disparate tribes, very few of them could have doublechecked those ships, like a credulous customer buying a half-baked used car.

08:46 <Schism> "Sure, this engine will get you where you need to go," says the dealer, knowing that the automobile will die about 100 miles out of his shop.

08:46 <iandalton> Would this be in Ghengis Khan's time?

08:47 <Schism> I think it's a different tale...?  Not totally sure.

08:47 <Fn> Schism, we (as in me and my stepbrothers) pulled a sort of prank on a used car dealer in Lithuania

08:48 <Schism> Oh, do please share.

08:48 <Fn> Being from Germany I pretended to be a car engineer, and we took a few measuring devices from a local car repair dealership

08:48 <iandalton> extirpate, a word with such a great etymology. ex: out, stirps: trunk. To pull the trunk out.

08:49 <Fn> So after the salesman tried to sell the car, I whipped all the tools, introduced myself faking german accent and asked to check his claims

08:49 <Fn> He made loads of excuses and sold another car instead

08:49 <Fn> XD

08:49 <Schism> I do love that word, iandalton.  And Fn: Oh dear.  X3

08:49 <Fn> I could barely contain my laughter

08:49 <Schism> A much better example of the automotive sort...

08:50 <Schism> Blast it all to hell.  Now I want some squash, stuffed with apples and maple syrup.  (And the assorted spices, of course.)

08:50 <Fn> I would be in an awkward situation if the car salesman would be like "ok go check"

08:51 <Fn> I had no clue where to even plug those

08:51 <Schism> As the old saying goes, it's much more difficult to fool an honest man.  A dishonest one, though...

08:52 <iandalton> have we lifted the trade embargo with cuba?

08:52 <Schism> Had the junker been honest, he'd likely have known what each of those tools did, and what you were doing.

08:53 <Schism> iandalton: I don't honestly know.  I THINK that most of the embargoes have been lifted, but I can't say for sure.

08:53 <Schism> Cuban cigars are likely still contraband, for some reason or another.  I don't know enough about the associated laws to say one way or another, and it's best to be on the safe side.

08:53 <Fn> Btw the car he sold in the end (a small 3-cylinder Hyndai) still runs to this day with no issues

08:54 <Fn> Bulletproof car that

08:54 <iandalton> Schism what about travel to cuba?

08:54 <Fn> Outlived many many other brands and peers

08:54 <Schism> No clue, iandalton, and you'd have to check on restrictions yourself.

08:54 <Schism> Fn: That's kinda hilarious - the thought that, upon calling his lie, he gave you the best car in the whole darned lot.

08:55 <Fn> Panicked probably

08:55 <Schism> And for a song and dance number, no less.

08:55 <iandalton> how convenient, there's a wikipedia article on that very topic

08:55 <Fn> Oh, the mother of my stepbrothers worked in the town Magistrate as well

08:55 <Fn> She was not the one to fool around with

08:55 <Schism> Oh, well, that probably gave you +20 on your Bluff roll.

08:56 <Fn> Yup

08:56 <iandalton> the embargo is still in place

08:56 <Schism> I'd say you should have just mentioned that from the start, but if you'd done so, that tale wouldn't have garnered you a few free drinks.

08:57 <Fn> My stepbros are car guys though, they can tell a wishbone suspension from a kettle.

08:58 <Schism> Meanwhile, if someone gives me a gearbox, I'm more likely to turn it into an omelet than anything workable.

08:58 <Fn> Schism, Lithuania is liek heaven for second-hand cars, because of law situation. (you can löegalise a stolen car because of lithuanian laws)

08:59 <Fn> Finding a car that is in real good shape is not an easy task

08:59 <Fn> legalise*

08:59 <iandalton> the travel ban has been eased, so cuban-americans, students, and religious missionaries can travel to cuba

08:59 <Fn> They can do so without any visas too

09:00 <Schism> Fn: That sounds like a junkyard searcher's dream.  "Yes, I'll take that transmission, and these wheels..."

09:00 <Fn> Just give services a reason and you'll be chilling on that Guantanamo bay for free in no time

09:01 <Fn> Schism, an almost-my-stepdad did exactly that

09:01 <Schism> iandalton: Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that isn't going to be the case for long?

09:01 <Fn> He refurbished cars, and assembled better cars from different parts

09:01 <Schism> Fn: Hee.  Take the best of the best parts before they get melted down for scrap, and make a great little frankenmobile out of the result.

09:01 <iandalton> Schism we'll see

09:01 <Fn> Mainly for the racing clients though

09:01 <Fn> That's the thing Schism : you can own any frankenvehicle in Lithuania

09:02 <Fn> You can make it out of wood if you want

09:02 <iandalton> Fn the problem is finding that sweet spot that gets you sent to Gitmo but not taken out by a drone strike :P

09:02 <Fn> it just has to comply with the regulations

09:03 <Schism> Why do I have a weird suspicion that said regulations are A. not particularly regulated and B. so lax you could use them as a dietary medicine?

09:03 <Fn> He drove an american Ford Taunus (a very big box) with motor from a Jaguar and suspension bits from Audi

09:04 <Fn> No idea how he managed to combine two imperial inch things and metric like this

09:04 <Schism> ... how the HELL does that even work?

09:04 <Schism> Pardon my Equestrian, but seriously... what the crap?

09:04 <Fn> But it not only ran, it, it could outrun any roadcar he desired

09:05 <Fn> Schism, chopshop magic and experience in making rally cars

09:05 <Fn> Lithuanian "rally" in those times meant the car would be totaled with like 80% probability

09:05 <Schism> That is, no lie, roughly the equivalent of the street-legal tank I bought for my Shadowrunning team.

09:06 <Fn> So the chopshops made them all custom and with repairability in mind

09:06 *** Quits: texasboykc09 (texasboykc0@vampire.bat.nest) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

09:06 <Fn> So the front and rear of the car could be from different vehicles

09:06 <Schism> That, ah... so how many Econoline frames did the shop go through on a regular basis?

09:07 <Fn> Given that the season is once a year

09:07 <Fn> 3 cars in a year, made from 6 to 18 other cars

09:07 <Schism> Oh, that's not as bad as I expected.  And that return is actually pretty good, considering.

09:07 <Fn> Ofc majority of cars were kept as a single brand because compatibility

09:07 <iandalton> Schism every shadowrunned in eastern europe?

09:08 <Fn> Schism, that is per one driver

09:08 <Schism> Oh.  Three cars per driver.  Um.

09:08 <Fn> Yes. One running and two identical as backups

09:08 <Fn> Sometimes only one backup

09:08 <Schism> iandalton: No, when I was playing Shadowrun, we stuck to Denver.  None of us wanted to get anywhere near Chicago, and Eastern Europe was way out of our reach.

09:09 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, can see that working.

09:09 <Schism> Not that any of us wanted to go into Uberwald anyway, let alone deal with the fae at Tir Tiargne.

09:09 <Schism> Or, worse, freaking political mayhem at Tir na Nog.

09:10 <iandalton> I know so little of the geography of Shadowrun

09:10 <Fn> I remember when he made 3 "Audi 80" racing cars which had VW, Audi parts (from different audi car models) and a porsche turbine  on it

09:11 <Fn> And all three burned down after the carrier lorry tipped over and caught fire

09:11 <Fn> He cried and was drunk for a week

09:11 <Schism> iandalton: Think of it this way.  Magic has returned to the world, and in many parts of the world, cultural boundaries and stories of the past have led to the old stories coming alive.

09:12 <iandalton> Oh, I missed that part

09:12 <iandalton> So did America get Orks and Elves because it's obsessed with LotR?

09:12 <Schism> So yes, in the northern UCAS territories, the Wendigo hunts its foes, werewolves and Canadian Trapdoor Alligators are well and alive, and let's just say that Eastern Europe is not a no-go zone, but most of the 'runners didn't want to go there.

09:13 *** Joins: texasboykc09 (texasboykc0@vampire.bat.nest)

09:14 <Schism> No, in the Shadowrun canon, after a certain point, a subset of humanity started being born with fantastic attributes.  Initially considered to be a mutation, metahumanity is more or less evenly distributed by 2080, though most strains do tend towards communities of their own.

09:14 <Schism> Ireland, for example, is largely populated by Elves.

09:14 <iandalton> so that has nothing to do with "stories of the past coming alive"?

09:15 <Schism> Oh, it does.  There's this whole metastory about how the echoes of olden times were kept alive in the memories of humans -- and that includes the darker things living in the recesses of the human psyche, waiting for their time to strike.

09:16 <Schism> Though exactly how the prior age of Magic managed to survive is unclear by design.

09:18 <Schism> The dragons know, and I'm sure they'd be utterly thrilled to be pressed for information.

09:19 <iandalton> so the dragons aren't metahumans?

09:21 <Schism> No, in Shadowrun, the dragons are their own race, mostly separate from humans.  Their involvement in metahuman affairs is in no small part due to the fact that, in Shadowrun, politics has reached such a cutthroat and hideous level, from the high to the low, that it's now worth their attention.  (That and they couldn't really keep concealed any longer.)

09:21 <Schism> They took to the new world like ducks to water, and more than a few of them are in control of the highest authorities.

09:22 <iandalton> after 1963, the "the cubans never paid a penny for military hardware. they asked, and they received, more or less." that was, I think, the same era that the USSR was helping China found their energy industry and so on. jeez, they really were a superpower, having the resources to help countries all around the world like that.

09:22 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

09:24 <Schism> The political game was heavily nuanced.  In return for those resources, many countries pledged to repay the responsible factions - which led to a growth of countries with debts to the US, the USSR, or both.

09:25 <Schism> Many such countries found that they were suddenly under new management, which - as it looked very similar to the old one - didn't disrupt things overmuch.

09:25 <iandalton> both? it seemed like the US was the one that wanted Cuba to choose between it or the USSR, not allowing it to have relations with both, rather than Cuba proactively breaking off relations with the US when it formed a relationship with the USSR

09:27 <Schism> That's just it.  The fact that Cuba had received resources from both sides led to it having obligations towards both, and when the US made a move towards it becoming a solely 'blue'-sided alliance, this pushed things towards a breaking point.

09:27 <Schism> At least, as I understand things.

09:28 <Schism> Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this; I'm not as fervent a student of history as many.

09:28 <iandalton> I'm learning it all as we speak

09:29 <Schism> The resultant Bay of Pigs incident is what happens when two sides have a severe breach in communication, and the third party - the prize, per se - takes its own unilateral steps to escalate.

09:30 <iandalton> according to this documentary, the Bay of Pigs was before the Cuban government established relations with the USSR government

09:30 <iandalton> if I'm putting the pieces together right

09:30 <Schism> Sorry, that's probably right.  Cart before horse.

09:31 <Schism> Bay of Pigs resulted in Cuba becoming more likely to join the USSR in that case when US involvement in its actions became overwhelming.  Sorry, I'm tired, it's a bit lateish/earlyish.

09:32 <Schism> The Kennedy/Nixon timeline is a mess.

09:32 <iandalton> yeah, unfortunately this documentary doesn't really discuss what led to them first opening relations with the USSR government

09:33 <iandalton> but as soon as they did, the US government demanded that they choose a side

09:33 <Schism> They honestly probably made inroads beforehand, as most countries did, testing the waters so to speak.  When you have two superpowers there, you want to weigh your options.

09:33 <iandalton> and they chose the USSR

09:35 <iandalton> yeah, I'm sure a book-length work would include those details

09:35 <Schism> Which did grant the Russians a foothill near the US, and probably escalated things severely in the minds of the responsible parties...

09:35 <Schism> foothold*

09:36 <Schism> The thing about the Cold War is that it's a spectacular tangled story of international relationships, brinksmanship, one-upsmanship, and something that could maybe be called a kerfuffle were it not for the constant threat of nuclear weaponry.

09:38 <iandalton> there's an hour-long program of an interview with Robert McNamara on the Vietnam war, how at the time, he and other people in power in the US saw Vietnam in terms of a proxy war with the USSR, but the Vietnamese saw it in terms of themselves. It's interesting to hear such a big player's perspective.

09:39 <Schism> Hmm.  That's actually a really good idea to check out.  Motive has always been key in understanding of a situation, and the problem with the start of the Cold War is that very few people have a grip on what that motive actually was.

09:41 <Schism> That's not to say that we can't gather clues and compare them to assess a potential motive regarding the primary suspects, such as that is: it's just that we have about 50 or so to choose from.

09:44 <iandalton> I believe there have been a few Star Trek episodes about that

09:44 <Schism> (Also, I do mean 'primary suspects': War is an act of violence against another party in whole or in part, with the stated intention to seize assets belonging to said second party.  Assault and battery, on an international scale.)

09:47 <ConfusionRift> One of those, like this one. Have spent so long wondering what to play that I mostly end up not playing anything.

09:47 <iandalton> both in the original series and later on

09:48 <ConfusionRift> Oh, that has been done often.

09:48 <Schism> The canonical tale, of course, is the Hatfields and the McCoys.

09:48 <Verandure> Hayfields and McColts.

09:48 <Verandure> Joy.

09:48 <Verandure> That was a very strange episode.

09:49 <ConfusionRift> That conflict just becomes plain hate, and it eventually completely blur what the conflict was.

09:49 <Schism> ConfusionRift, may I perhaps suggest Path of Exile as something to play?

09:49 <ConfusionRift> RPG... eeerm...

09:50 <Schism> Mm.  Then, perhaps... Rabi-Ribi, if you have it?

09:50 <ConfusionRift> The closest thing I got to that is Phantom Breaker.

09:50 <Schism> ConfusionRift, also, I suppose there is, long before those... the Montagues and the Capulets.

09:51 <iandalton> well do we know that they had been feuding for generations?

09:51 <iandalton> or forgotten the reason?

09:51 <iandalton> since it's italy, maybe they were two mafia dons

09:51 <Schism> Honestly, it seemed so long-established in the play that they were pretty much presented as two families fighting for the sake of fighting.

09:52 <iandalton> AFAIK, my mafia version is equally supportable

09:52 <Schism> No explanation was given or forthcoming because that, well, kinda wasn't the point.  Though you are right, it could have been two business empires at war with one another.

11:06 <CleverDerpy> mhm

11:06 <CleverDerpy> each boss can also have weaknesses to other weapons from other bosses

11:06 <Cepheid> Essentially the same thing.  The levels are randomly generated, you fight a boss, get it's weapon, then choose from one of three next bosses to kill.

11:06 <Cepheid> Each stage is progressively harder than the last.

11:06 <Schism> It's like that, except the bosses, weapons and items are largely randomized.  So you might have the weapon against which the boss is weak -- but more likely, you'll have to shuffle through and deal with what you have.

11:06 <CleverDerpy> oooh, sounds challegening

11:08 <CleverDerpy> wow, that's almost 2 and a half years of morning discussions

11:09 <CleverDerpy> presuming there were no breaks

11:15 <Schism> Huh... Cepheid, if you want to raise an eyebrow, try right-clicking on Rabi-Ribi in your Steam Library.

11:17 <Cepheid> I don't see anything unusual.  I presume the game must be installed.

11:17 <Schism> Ah, yeah.  If installed, and you do so, it comes up with a whole list of other options.

11:17 <Cepheid> Okay cats, both of you, GET OUT.

11:17 <Schism> Including a means to force it to use DX 9.0c.

11:17 <Cepheid> I don't want you in my room right now.

11:18 <Schism> Throw a pillow at them?  Harmless and they'll get the point.

11:18 <Schism> Well... probably.

11:18 <Cepheid> I just picked them up and locked them out of my room for the time being.

11:18 * Schism nods. ._.

11:19 *** Joins: derpingamlessly (derpingamle@Pony-194.jgc.225.60.IP)

11:19 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah.  Rabi-Ribi has trouble on 60+Hz monitors.

11:19 <Cepheid> Or rather, it did.

11:19 <Cepheid> Essentially the game ran over twice as fast.

11:20 <Cepheid> Hum, OSAP update email.  Let's see what's wrong.

11:20 <Cepheid> Aaaand I can't check due to website maintenance.

11:20 *** Joins: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP)

11:21 <Schism> Cepheid: Ah, that was a bit of a trick, wasn't it... the 60Hz thing, that is.  ... wait.  Does that mean that the game's frames were directly tied to the monitor refresh rate?

11:21 <Schism> Also, of course not, that would be too easy.  ._.

11:22 <Schism> I genuinely want to know.  Did people not recognize that tying programs' refresh rates to hardware was a bad idea back in... oh, the 486 era?  

11:23 * ConfusionRift whispers. "There are still many newer games that have that problem."

11:24 <Schism> Whyyyyyyy?!  That just makes things harder down the line when you inevitably have to PATCH the darned thing!

11:24 <Cepheid> I think it's more an issue that developers don't know how to handle framerate and logic processing together.

11:25 <ConfusionRift> And that's why they end up finding ways to remove that problem.

11:26 <Schism> That's it.  Everyone involved in development of any processor-intensive product needs to play all of Zachtronics' games, and they're not to be unleashed upon the innocent, unsuspecting products until they understand clock cycles, bottlenecks, and why you tie games to the ticks of an actual clock.

11:27 <Cepheid> The simplest way is to accumulate the amount of time that's passed between each frame, and once that time has exceeded a certain threshold, you do a logic update.  It works, but there are problems with the approach.  It's usually better to use an OS-specific high-resolution-timer setup, plus a few other details instead.

11:27 <Cepheid> It's the simplest approach that ensures the game won't break if the monitor is running at a higher frequency than the game's update logic.

11:27 <Cepheid> Or slower.

11:28 <Schism> That way, your game doesn't run slower than normal when you wind up playing it on a toaster.

11:28 <Schism> Just because of, well, video card bottlenecks.

11:28 <Cepheid> If it's slower, you may see two or more logic updates per refresh.  If it's faster, you'll see 0 or 1 updates per refresh.

11:28 <Schism> And that's the way it /should/ be.

11:28 <Cepheid> However, when people play games at these refresh rates..

11:29 <Cepheid> They expect to see a framerate higher than say, 60hz.

11:29 <Schism> Yes, because they're likely to actually /see/ that framerate...

11:29 <Cepheid> And by that, I mean they don't see the 60hz logic update.  They see it at whatever the monitor is running at.

11:30 <Cepheid> There's an approach for *THAT* but it risks something called desynchronization.

11:31 <Schism> I think we do know the effects of desync around here.

11:31 <Cepheid> It involves calculating how much time has passed between the previous frame and the next frame, and telling the world logic to update by that amount of time.

11:31 <Schism> Though that desync experienced between the minotaur and the eyes is a little different...

11:32 <Cepheid> Obviously this has some issues in that on some machines, the game will take larger time steps(1/60th for 60Hz refresh), compared to smaller timesteps on faster monitors(1/144th for 144Hz)

11:32 <Cepheid> And anyone with a basic knowledge of physics will KNOW how this impacts the game logic.

11:32 <Schism> And you can't readily divide 144 by 60, though you can break it down into 12Hz chunks and update that way...

11:33 <Cepheid> And hey, guess what physics simulations are used in?  Almost every friggen game out there now.

11:33 <Cepheid> The final solution is a lot more difficult, but "solves" the problem in a sense.

11:33 <Schism> Yup.  And when a rock is thrown at an enemy, that update means that it'll go one way on some computers, and another on others.

11:33 <Cepheid> Run the game logic at 60Hz.  Then for any displays that refresh faster than that?  Linear interpolation.

11:34 <Schism> But Cepheid!  That means that players won't be getting the FULL EXPERIENCE of their monitors which refresh faster than any human brain can readily deal.

11:34 <Cepheid> For each frame, you calculate the PREDICTED location of where everything would be in a linear fashion, and render that.

11:35 <Cepheid> That's their problem, not mine.

11:35 <Cepheid> The linear interpolation solution is the best solution really.  It provides smoother animation and movement for higher refresh rates, while maintaining the 60Hz logic updates.

11:35 <Schism> But yeh, that's pretty much the way to do it.  At least make sure that the machines running the simulation each react in a predictable fashion, eschewing bottlenecks and overly verbose minotaurs.

11:36 <Cepheid> However, it only works if using linear interpolation.

11:36 <Schism> When a player presses a key on their leopard, you want to make sure that what appears on the minotaur reacts the same way every time.

11:37 <Schism> And yeah, on testing machines it's a little more sensible to use all kinds of ridiculous shortcuts.

11:37 <Cepheid> Actually, now that I think about it, there's even a problem with the linear interpolation approach.

11:38 <Cepheid> Hmm, I can't quite grasp the problem.  I see it visually, but yeah.

11:43 <Cepheid> Blasted cat...  Freaking itches and stings where she got me.

11:44 <Cepheid> I love this cat, I do, but it's hard when she's got fur full of mats, and all my mother prefers to do is just shave off the mats individually, which isn't enough.

11:44 <Cepheid> This cat needs a full buzz-cut, and from that point on, daily brushing

19:08 <Thelema5> Wait... when was the Equestria Girls Special?

19:08 <Thelema5> Did I miss it?

19:08 <matttheshadowman> Last weekend, but only in Poland

19:08 <Thelema5> Oh.

19:09 <Thelema5> Strange

19:09 <matttheshadowman> It was only in Polish too but as is the way it's been subbed already

19:09 <Thelema5> Fan subbed?

19:09 <matttheshadowman> Yeah

19:09 <Thelema5> Heh

19:10 <matttheshadowman> I think it's coming to Netflix in the US first, much like Legend of Everfree last year

19:11 <Ali> First time ever it sucks to be in the US

19:11 <Ali> Canada is way ahead in S7, and Poland got the EG specials started.

19:12 <matttheshadowman> I live in the UK, we got the end of season 6 first

19:12 *** TImidTanuki|Work is now known as TimidTanuki

19:16 <Cepheid> Wonder how Canada managed to get first-airing rights?

19:17 <Reia> We didnt

19:17 <Reia> It was a screw up

19:17 <matttheshadowman> Probably paid Hasbro for the rights as usual and Hasbro never had any clause on when it aired vs. the US airings

19:17 <Reia> No, it was a mistake

19:17 <Cepheid> Ah.

19:18 <Cepheid> Huh.  Apparently they made a "spawn everything" cheat for the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild.

19:19 <matttheshadowman> Long as it doesn't spawn a huge army of lynels

19:19 <Cepheid> You can make it spawn anything, including armies of lynels.

19:20 <Cepheid> Apparently, it's been tested with numerous Kings of Hyrule vs a Guardian.  Spawning all of the Divine Beast bosses in one area.  And numerous other crazy things.

19:20 <Schism> Hum, I still like the colourful cast of characters in the Whateley Universe.  Such as Ms. Ryan, a little old lady who's patient and soft-spoken, wears old-fashioned dresses, teaches fashion design, and spent much of her early life terrorizing most of Eastern Europe.

19:22 <Cepheid> Honestly, one thing Nintendo should do to the Switch is add a dual-boot mode.  Switch-mode, Android-mode.

19:22 * Schism nods, certainly a good idea...

19:24 <Cepheid> There's a problem with it though.  Security of the data on the cards, etc.  People would find a way to hack the-  Wait, they already broke the OS anyways, so it's moot.

19:25 <matttheshadowman> Only thing similar was the PS3 having the ability to boot in Linux and Sony pulled that feature in an update :/

19:25 <Schism> Cepheid: It took people what, 24 hours to break that thing open like a fresh egg?

19:26 <Cepheid> Pretty much.

19:26 <Cepheid> Turns out the core OS was built using an old package that had a security vulnerability in it's webkit.

19:26 <Cepheid> A vulnerability that was patched TWO YEARS AGO.

19:26 <Cepheid> The devs didn't even try this time around.

19:26 <Schism> At some point, console manufacturers are going to comprehend that there's no such thing as a secure system, and that once the machines are in the hands of their customers, they can and will be broken in twain.

19:27 <Schism> And once they fully comprehend this fact, pigs will fly to the heavens and it will rain gold.

19:27 <Cepheid> Given that the 3DS for the longest time was uncrackable on 11.3.0 or above...

19:27 <Cepheid> Yeah, you're right.  Nothing can be done to stop it.

19:28 <Cepheid> The 3DS version 11.3.0 was recently broken due to a vulnerability in it's music player.

19:28 <matttheshadowman> Weren't various games used as back doors for the 3DS before that?

19:28 <Cepheid> Yeah.  But after 11.3.0 came out, it was a hard nut to crack.

19:29 <Cepheid> The bootloader was changed so that it'd only start up signed code.

19:30 <matttheshadowman> Hmm, well the Switch has the feel of being rushed out to meet the end of the financial year anyway. Zelda got them out of what could of been a very big hole for them.

19:30 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, the music player for 11.3.0 is flawed.  It allocates a buffer of 256 bytes for a certain data field in a common music format, and doesn't do bounds checking when reading and copying the data into said buffer.

19:31 <Cepheid> So a specially crafted audio file could cause arbitrary code execution.  Which is exactly what happened.  And once the Homebrew Channel got ported to use this vulnerability, the rest was history.

20:39 <Cepheid> Just my bedroom window actually.  I'm trying to cool off my room, but it's above 30 in here and there's no breeze.

20:40 <Schism> We have a couple of fans scattered throughout the apartment, including a nice small one which I'm using to distribute air in here.

20:51 <Schism> Ah.  Masato Kato, the lead developer of Chrono Cross, worked for Gainax beforehand.  Now everything about that game makes sense.

20:52 <Schism> By which I mean, of course, that it remains as incomprehensible as ever, but at least now there's a reason for that.

20:53 <Schism> (I like how, in CC, the Reptites were actually the good guys.  It makes sense.  Kinda.)

20:55 <Cepheid> To be honest the entire Chrono series is a clustertruck of a mess.  It doesn't help that the translation was... finagled a bit for the games.

20:56 <Schism> Mm, there were a looot of weird translations.  I like, tho, how in CC, the characters each have their own accents, which are then applied to whatever they're saying on the fly.

20:59 <Schism> One of these days I'm going to have to play through Crimson Echoes all the way.  Though the start, where you control only Magus, is absurdly grindtastic.

21:26 <Cepheid> Hum.  Me and my parents are currently at an impasse.

21:27 <Schism> Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us... o/`

21:27 <Cepheid> Essentially, given Tizzy's behaviour earlier, I've had enough of the biting for no BLOODY REASON other than I pet her and happened to brush the wrong mat or something in her fur.

21:28 <Cepheid> I told them that if she bites me and hisses and growls at me again, I'm giving her a buzzcut to relieve the pain caused by the mats.  My parents aren't too happy with this.

21:28 <Schism> Ah, and so it really is necessary that she be shaved...

21:28 <Cepheid> But at the same time, I bloody deserve the right to touch the cat and not have blood drawn.

21:28 <Schism> Just tell them that you're doing it because it's clearly causing her pain.

21:28 <Cepheid> I did.

21:28 <Cepheid> They insisted it's something *I* am doing to her.

21:29 <Schism> Ah.  And when you make an attempt to do so, she'll likely flay the skin from your bones.

21:29 <Cepheid> All I bloody do is pet her.  And then all of a sudden she bites down hard on me.

21:29 <Cepheid> If my parents can't take care of her, I will.

21:29 <Cepheid> THat cat is suffering and my parents don't believe she is.

21:31 * Schism nods. "Though there is also this." http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=615

21:32 <Cepheid> That's not what it is.

21:32 <Schism> But honestly, if the mats are getting THAT bad, definitely shave her.  She'll be pissed, but... yeah.

21:32 <Cepheid> I can feel mats all over her body, especially near the rear.

21:32 <Cepheid> And when she bites me, she bites bleedingly hard.

21:33 <Cepheid> She draws blood, or bites so hard that when I pull away, I come out with gouges in my arm.

21:33 * Schism winces. "Yeah. Annoying as it sounds, get her to a vet?"

21:33 <Cepheid> Not even Spitfire bites me that hard.

21:33 <Schism> There's a big difference between 'play bites' and that.

21:33 <Cepheid> This is a cat that wants me to pet her, but I can't touch her.  I'm bloody afraid to touch her.

21:33 <Cepheid> Because if I do, I'm probably going to get bitten.

21:33 *** Tempo-AFK is now known as Tempo

21:34 <Schism> There's play bites, there's warning bites, and then there's 'I'm going to kill you' bites.  You definitely need to impress upon your parents that she's going to the vet to get shaved.

21:44 <Cepheid> Far as I can tell, she doesn't brush the cat all that frequently.  I'd expect once or twice a day for a long-haired cat.

21:44 <Cepheid> On top of that, all she ever does is feed the cat treats, and then lock her out of her bedroom at night.

21:44 <Cepheid> That's why I get bitten so much compared to the two of them.  I'm the one who has to deal with the cat being around me all the time, since I'm the only one that leaves my bedroom door open.

21:45 <Cepheid> I mean, I just can't ignore a cat begging or bunting me for attention all the time, after all.

21:45 <Cepheid> Even if I am afraid of her biting me, sooner or later her cuteness makes me want o pet her anyways.

21:45 <Schism> Cats do go out of their way to ensure that you don't ignore them.  They want to know that their servants are ready and willing to work for them at all times.

21:46 <Cepheid> Yes, well, unfortunately a closed door is one of those things they generally can't solve.

21:46 <Schism> Right up until you get a cat who learns how to open doorknobs and jimmy locks, as one of my prior cats did.

21:47 <Cepheid> I'd believe it to be possible if the door handles were latch-style, not ball style.

21:48 <Schism> No, even ball doorknobs.  He'd balance on his hind legs against the door and clasp the knob with a paw, using friction to turn it just enough that the door opened.

21:48 <Cepheid> So poorly-installed latch in the door, then.  Similar to the bathroom door here.  Push on it hard enough, and it pops open.

21:48 <Schism> It was disconcerting to see in action... yup, it wasn't a tight latch.

23:10 <Schism> I hate to admit it, but that's one of my favourite arguments of all time.  It's wrong on so many levels that it becomes stupendous.

23:11 <Cepheid> By the logic of that argument, Australia should be several thousand meters underwater, and anyone from that country that we speak to is likely an undead skeleton or bloated corpse talking to us.

23:13 <Schism> Those curious about the etymology, by the way: the term 'theory' relates to a tested and proven set of circumstances.  Also, 'proof' means 'test'.  The theory has been tested in a whoooole lot of ways.

23:13 <Schism> Yes, a tested and tested set of circumstances.

23:14 <Schism> Gnargl.  Be right back.  Store run.

23:15 <Schism> Cepheid: I still think my favourite statement by the Flat Earth Society is this: "We have millions of followers all over the globe."

23:17 <Cepheid> Heh, yep.

23:17 <Cepheid> Anyways, I'm off to bed, myself.

23:34 <Librarian> my dog is looking at me and he is adorable

23:35 <Librarian> he is hot and needs to cool down

23:36 * Gladiolus fans Librarian and dog with his wings, and then overwatches

23:39 <Schism> "Hey, my dearest aunt, you haven't much call for a half a roasted chicken, would you?" "I would love a half a roasted chicken." "C'mon up!"

23:40 <Schism> And then I sliced the bird in twain and there we went.  o3o

23:42 <Schism> And while I could have eaten the whole thing, I'd more likely wind up with a ton of leftovers to throw out.  So yay.

23:46 <Schism> I would have probably advised that there are much, much better ways to spend one's time than watching telenovelas.
