00:00 <Cepheid> Yeah.

00:00 <Cepheid> Oooh, I wonder if that ability does what I think it does.

00:02 <DinkyDoo> So yeah there's like 0 tips to survive that isn't common since

00:02 <DinkyDoo> And there's like a million times where you find toms of ammo but not the correct weapons

00:04 *** Joins: Pony|46551 (Pony46551@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net)

00:04 <Cepheid> Hello there, Hornet.  Fancy seeing you here.

00:04 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: William Shatner Has Apparently Discovered /mlp/  [ http://tinyurl.com/ycm598at ]

00:04 *** Pony|46551 is now known as ThatAnonPony

00:05 <Ali> Oh the poor soul

00:06 <Cepheid> Schism, this game may be a Metroidvania, but..

00:06 <Cepheid> It captures something specific from Dark Souls that all the other "Dark Souls"-like games are missing.

00:06 <Cepheid> I cannot place my finger on what that is though.

00:07 <Schism> Ali... *cringe*  Yeah, looking at 4chan's /mlp board as a mean of what the brony community is like... is kinda like looking into a crocodile feeding pit to observe the lives of cute rabbits.

00:07 *** Joins: The_Greener (The_Greene@Pony-vrt.70o.117.87.IP)

00:07 *** Lord_Greener is now known as Pony_98314

00:08 <Ali> Cause 4chan is a great place to go to learn about a community

00:08 <Schism> Cepheid: The understanding that once you get the pattern and behaviour of the enemies, they are no longer a true threat.  Most folks just can't come back after dying.

00:08 *** The_Greener is now known as Lord_Greener

00:09 <Cepheid> It's not that.

00:09 *** Quits: Thelema5|away (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

00:09 <Cepheid> I think it's the aesthetic.  The dark gloominess, the claustrophobic sense.

00:09 <Schism> Or maybe it's the expectations of a dying society which knows that it'll never really thrive again, just eke out a day-to-day existence.

00:09 <Cepheid> Dark Souls II and III seemed to be missing that feeling, I found.

00:09 *** Quits: Pony_98314 (The_Greene@Pony-q4l.fl9.154.95.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

00:09 <Cepheid> Whereas, it's quite visible in Dark Souls and Hollow Knight.

00:10 <Schism> For all that you hate that erstwhile banker, she did what was clearly the smartest thing to do -- or would be, if not for the fact that you've been traveling through every inch of that hive you can access.

00:13 <Cepheid> Where would she spend the money?

00:13 <Cepheid> It's clear this kingdom is... dead.

00:14 <Schism> May as well spend the money while she can, lounging away in hot springs for the rest of her life.

00:15 <Cepheid> Problem with that.

00:15 <Cepheid> THere's no one taking any form of payment at the springs.

00:15 <Cepheid> You can walk right in.  There is literally no purpose to amassing geo in this kingdom, aside from our little bug.

00:15 <Schism> Yeah, and she probably walked over there on her own six legs.  But it's a cute little excuse.

00:26 <Cepheid> Hum.  Schism, I don't think it was so much that they attacked me, but rather they put me in to the dream world to acquire the Dream Nail, because apparently this one actually *WANTS* me to kill her.

00:40 *** Joins: iandalton (ian@Pony-os2f6j.dynamic.tds.net)

00:41 <Cepheid> There are just way too many little nooks and crannies in this game.  I think that's also what set Dark Souls apart from it's successor and other games that try to mimic it.

00:42 <iandalton> Hello everypony

00:42 <Schism> The /need/ to explore in order to find everything?  I can see that.  And where that exploration follows naturally from the acquisition of new abilities, instead of in Axiom Verge (and, yes, Metroid) where it seems forced.

00:42 <Verandure> Hiya, iandalton.

00:43 <Cepheid> The need to explore.  A world that changes over time(Infected Crossroads).  Claustrophobia, darkness everywhere.

00:44 <Cepheid> For the record..

00:45 <Cepheid> Finding that last grub is going to be a NIGHTMARE.

00:45 <Lumindia> how is you this evening Veran?

00:45 * Lumindia nuzzle

00:45 <Schism> You and I both know it's probably going to be all the way back at the start.

00:46 * Verandure is doing well. Just gotta do some work before bed =P

00:46 <Lumindia> aren't you usually up until, like, 4 in the morning?

00:46 <Cepheid> Hum.

00:46 <Cepheid> Another dark wall I couldn't pass is over in Kingdom's Edge.

00:46 <Verandure> Well, not 4am, here >.>

00:46 <Cepheid> Probably where the other half of that charm is..

00:47 <Lumindia> either way, you're up late

00:47 <Lumindia> :V

00:47 * Lumindia boops the silly mare

00:47 * Verandure puts a charm quark on Cepheid.

00:52 <Cepheid> Hmm.  All that's over here is a warrior full of essence.

00:53 <Cepheid> Alright then.  I'm running out of things to explore.  I think it's time I tackled Deepnest.

00:55 <Cepheid> That warrior was easy.

01:18 <Schism> No, that's not Sacred Ground.

01:18 <Cepheid> How in the hells I pulled that off, I don't know.

01:19 <Schism> If it were Sacred Ground, there would be only /one/ bug.

01:20 <Cepheid> Trickiest part is jumping over the walls of spikes.

01:21 *** Quits: KooK (KooK@Pony-t2bvrf.client.mchsi.com) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

01:25 <Schism> Cepheid: An idea for a game.  "New Game Plus".  Each time you get the bad end, you can then start over with one - JUST one - extra skill which lets you access new areas early.  And by accessing those areas, you can see the story actually unfold before you're 'meant' to get there.

01:25 <Cepheid> Heh.

01:26 <Cepheid> Another day, another grub rescued.

01:26 <Schism> Hee.

01:26 <Schism> They're so cute.  <3

04:42 <Schism> Gotta love dem charms.

04:43 <Schism> You see those a lot these days.  Rabi-Ribi had its own as well.  The Paper Mario series does the same.

04:43 <Cepheid> Yep.

04:44 <Cepheid> This charm gives me 4 blue hearts for surviving attacks.  In order to even get it, I had to go through one hell of a fun trick.

04:44 <Schism> Mnee.  Considering that your heart pool is, what, 7?  That's a nice bonus.

04:44 *** Joins: Starwatcher (patrick@off)

04:44 <Schism> You can't burn Estus on those hearts, I take it, but that still sounds nice.

04:45 <Cepheid> You needed something like 15 blue hearts at a given time in order to access the area the charm is in.  Which meant equipping an charm I found elsewhere that not only changed all my hearts to blue, but gave me like, 5 or 6 on top.  And then adding *ANOTHER* charm to squeeze out 2 more blue hearts.

04:45 <Cepheid> Aye.  They can't be regenerated.

04:45 <Cepheid> By the end of it, I had 15 or 16, I can't remember.  It was just enough to crack open the door.

04:45 <Schism> That oddly sounds... like an excellent little trick.

04:45 <Cepheid> Also, I found the cliff-face that's shown in the opening intro movie.

04:46 <Schism> I mean, incredibly clever on the devs' part.

04:46 <Cepheid> I literally went full circle.

04:46 <Schism> Cephy: Hee.  Where was it?

04:46 <Cepheid> Far upper-left corner.  Entrance to it is unlocked after getting all the other stag stations.

04:46 <Cepheid> You appear on a "peak".  To the west, an endless expanse of sand and desert.  To the east, the cliff face you jump off of in the intro.

04:47 <Cepheid> In the middle, the charm that changed all my hearts to blue, and the last of the Nail skills.

04:47 <Schism> Well, that's helpful as far as stories go.  Also, ooh.  One last Nail skill... how much Essence have ye now?

04:47 <Cepheid> 778 or so.

04:47 <Cepheid> Next mark is at 1000.

04:48 <Cepheid> I'll have to kill a few warriors for it.

04:48 * Schism nodnods. "And taken out any of the Dreamers yet?"

04:48 <Cepheid> Two of them.

04:48 <Schism> Sorry I missed that.  How hard were they?

04:48 <Cepheid> It's not what you're thinking.

04:48 <Cepheid> Apparently, they *WANT* you to kill them.  They don't fight back

04:49 <Cepheid> You enter their dream, go up to them, smack them several times, then absorb them as they fade away into nothingness.

04:49 <Cepheid> I'm able to get the third one now, if I want to.  But I'm hesitant to do so.

04:50 <Schism> Figuring that'll be a point of no return?

04:50 <Cepheid> More or less.

04:50 *** Joins: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-bc75a7.res.rr.com)

04:50 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

04:51 <Cepheid> There's a horrible beasty sealed up in the Crossroads.  Inside a giant black egg.  It's got three faces on them, indicating a seal.  Guess what the faces are.

04:51 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

04:52 <Schism> Hmmm, yes.  And are two of those faces now lit?

04:52 <Cepheid> More like they've gone dark.

04:53 <Schism> Ahh.

04:53 <Cepheid> So essentially one is sitting there, sealing whatever horrible beast is inside.

04:53 <Cepheid> And given that's where that strange orange infection originated from in the Crossroads..

04:53 <Cepheid> I don't want to open it just yet.

04:53 * Schism nodnods. "Besides, you haven't found all the pupae yet."

04:53 <Cepheid> 'Sides, I still got 4 grubs to find.

04:53 <Schism> Hah.

04:54 <Cepheid> I am not abandoning those little bugs to whatever horrors await them.

04:54 <Cepheid> Only trouble is, finding them.

04:54 <Cepheid> I've explored almost every inch of the world now, from what I can tell.

04:54 <Schism> Almost tempting to look up a map, isn't it?

04:54 <Cepheid> Almost.

04:54 <Cepheid> Actually, no.  There's one section I know I missed.

04:55 <Cepheid> It's deep in Deepnest(Heh), just underneath where the dreamer is.

04:55 <Cepheid> Probably also one in a room in the village of Deepnest.

04:55 <Cepheid> Plus, ye know, keep an eye out for unusual voids in the map.  Could be something hidden.

04:56 <Schism> The whole buggy hive approach does work best in that case.  Areas which you can't really access at first are most likely hidden spots.

04:57 <Cepheid> The layout and the item locations are a bit nonsensical at times, though.

04:57 <Cepheid> I mean, like, seriously.  You're gonna put tramways around that I can't use until I've cleared maybe 80% of the game?

04:58 <Cepheid> Unless the tramways are part of some sort of speedrunning setup.  As in, you use some horrible glitchery or tricks to get to the card sooner rather than later.

05:00 <Schism> I wouldn't put that past the devs, and indeed it would make sense.  

05:01 <Schism> It would also fit the whole Metroidvania aspect.

05:01 <Cepheid> Speedrunning to Deepnest provides an interesting challenge though.

05:01 <Cepheid> Besides all the platforming, that is.

05:02 <Cepheid> Deepnest is, well, deep.  It's the second lowest region in the game.  And full of murderous vermin and parasitic spider things.

05:02 <Cepheid> Which means darkness.  Lots of darkness.

05:02 <Schism> And without that lamp...

05:02 <Cepheid> It can be navigated without a lamp, thankfully, since you'll likely enter it without the lamp as a first-time player.

05:03 <Cepheid> But your vision radius is VERY small compared to the other dark areas.

05:03 <Schism> But it makes things all the harder.

05:03 <Cepheid> Or in general.

05:03 * Schism nodnods.

05:03 <Cepheid> The other dark areas are just plain viciously dark.  Can't see anything.

05:03 <Cepheid> Deepnest, you can see a bit, but it makes it trickier.  You have to *KNOW* where the platforms are.

05:03 <Schism> Hee, while Deepnest teases you by giving you a tiny little radius.

05:03 <Schism> That does sound like an interesting little path.

05:04 <Snapai> Schism, see the board I sketched? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWwd9DteqpI

05:04 <Schism> X3

05:05 <Cepheid> As for a speed run, I *WILL* do one.

05:05 <Cepheid> In fact, I also need to do one for Rabi-Ribi.

05:06 <Cepheid> It'll just be an Any% run, using what my brain has retained.  Which, by the way, I was thinking is part of the reason I like such games in the first place.

05:15 <Cepheid> There was a boardgame me and my sister played, that shows an example of such.

05:15 *** The_Greener is now known as Lord_Greener

05:15 <Starwatcher> hmm

05:15 <Starwatcher> ok

05:16 <Cepheid> It basically consisted of using hexagonal tiles layed out end-to-end, with varying paths on them.  The goal was to get a direct line from a spot in the center, to the exterior.

05:16 <Schism> Sounds a little like Ticket to Ride.

05:16 <Cepheid> In every game we played, I always amanged a perfect win against my sister.

05:16 <Cepheid> Er, managed*

05:17 <Cepheid> Indigo.

05:17 <Cepheid> That's the game.

05:17 <Cepheid> I always consistently beat my sister with ease.  Seeing paths rapidly and planning ahead, or being able to counter any move she tried to make. >_>;

05:18 <Schism> Aha!  Being able to set up spurious logic on your own terms!  Y--*card in forehead*

05:18 <Cepheid> My mind seems to be an exceptionally good pathfinder.  I'm actually willing to prove this with an insane run of Hollow Knight at a later date.

05:20 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (Zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Quit: Ping timeout: -1 second)

05:20 <Cepheid> Preferably though I'd prefer a map on hand, if possible.  If not, I can still pull it off, because I often remember the exact location of every critical item, and the path to get to it.

05:23 <Schism> Hee.  SidAlpha is very happy that Hollow Knight has the ability to rebind controller buttons.

05:24 <Cepheid> Apparently this happens for two reasons.  One, I play the games excessively, as I've proven thus far with Hollow Knight.  Nearly three continuous days of playing.  Secondly, according to psychology, memory consolidation.  I play until I get tired, fall asleep, and my brain spends the sleeping period re-organizing everything I've seen and done for the day.

05:24 <Cepheid> I must ask one thing though, when it comes to games.

05:26 <Cepheid> When I watch others play, there seems to be some reasonably slow uptake when people acquire new items or skills.  People seem "sluggish" in that they take an excessive amount of time figuring out how to use the item or skill.

05:26 <Cepheid> Whereas once I pick it up, I'm off and zooming, and within minutes using somewhat tricky and advanced techniques.  Why is that?

05:32 <Cepheid> Like, I got air-dash.  Great.  I can use it here, here and here.  Next, I pick up wall-jump.  Well, now I can pull off a jump off the wall and then an air dash.  But if I do it right, I can jump off a wall underneath a ledge, and then air-dash towards the wall I just jumped off, and grab onto the ledge just barely.

05:33 * Ali flops on Cepheid. "Megaman X?"

05:33 <Cepheid> Then, add in double jump.  And you'll see me pulling stuff off like climbing a wall, jumping off the wall under a ledge, then double-jumping and air-dashing towards the ledge to grab onto it.

05:33 <Cepheid> Nah, Hollow Knight.

05:33 <Schism> I'm in much the same way, Cepheid.  But at the same time, we've each played enough games that we know how to chain those new abilities.

05:34 <Cepheid> The end-result of some of my tricks is that I completely and utterly trivialise many "puzzles" in the game.

05:34 <Cepheid> Though Rabi-Ribi took that to a new level, for me.

05:34 <Schism> Meanwhile, Rabi-Ribi's are (initially) so frame-perfect that you can't really make use of them without already knowing.

05:34 <Cepheid> Reverse Wall Jump, yo.

05:34 <Cepheid> Once I figured out that wall jump, it was second nature to me, and I used it in all sorts of fun places.

05:35 <Cepheid> Game-breaking to the extreme.

05:35 <Schism> RR is just ridiculous as that goes.  But you have to be precise at every moment in the game anyway.

05:35 <Cepheid> Indeed.

05:35 <Cepheid> I'm kind of curious as to what sequence breaking exists in Hollow Knight.

05:36 <Cepheid> Or what different paths I could have taken.  I've seen a few paths so far that I could have gone towards earlier.

05:40 <Cepheid> The strangest thing I picked up on quickly that caught me off guard was the spikey-shelled enemies and using my sword to bounce off of them.

05:41 <Schism> Oh yeah, bouncing repeatedly to cross pits.  Well, you've seen Kaizo.

05:43 <Cepheid> I've seen it, but I never played it.

05:43 <Cepheid> And what I've seen of Kaizo is mostly just a jumbled mess of insanity

05:43 <Cepheid> I don't really pick up anything from it other than madness.

05:44 <Reia> Kaizo is amazing

05:45 <Cepheid> It's madness, but yes, it is also amazing.

05:45 <Cepheid> Schism:  That said, while I have excellent control of the character in moving around the world, I do lack one critical, useful skill.

05:46 <Cepheid> Response.  I am slow to respond and pick up on enemy movements.

05:46 <Schism> Mm.  Whereas I actually respond pretty well, weirdly.  Like that freakin' wall.

05:47 <Schism> Still can't move fast enough to dodge that stupid 100-tonze swing, though.

05:47 <Cepheid> Heh.

05:48 <Cepheid> Don't worry, most players initially get beaned by it.

05:48 <Cepheid> Hell, even I get hit once or twice. :P

05:50 <Cepheid> That said, after enough iterations I usually do develop a method to survive.

05:50 <Cepheid> Best example of that today would have been the second encounter with Hornet.

05:51 * Schism nods. "While I take quite a bit longer to learn."

05:51 <Cepheid> Got beat up six or seven times, and by around the 5th time, I had developed a trick where I'd only attack if certain circumstances were met.

05:51 <Schism> That damned checkerboard pattern was fun, though, on the one boss.  I now forget if it was Shiva or Ramuh, but... yea.

05:52 <Schism> Oh wait, no, it was the Jester.

05:52 * Schism nodnods to Cepheid.

05:53 <Cepheid> The condition was something like "Am I standing next to her?" && "Am I standing next to her because she did a one of her dash attacks?"  If I answered yes to both, I'd attack.  Otherwise I'd run.

05:54 * Schism nodnods.

05:54 <Cepheid> Most attacks I did on her usually came about as a result of her finishing an attack next to me.

05:56 <Cepheid> Presumably that was the intent.  The developers actually gave her a counter-attack to try and ward off that behaviour a bit.  Wasn't too effective, though.  Mostly because I'd get the attack in before she gets into the counter stance.

05:58 <Schism> On the other hand, that's kinda like she's watching you and trying to predict what you'll do next, but you're a moving target.

05:58 <Schism> /Just/ fast enough that she can't figure you out completely, especially with all those new tricks you pick up.

06:07 <Cepheid> Do a speed run and set a time for me to beat. :P

06:07 <Cepheid> In any case, Hollow Knight still intrigues me for one reason.

06:07 <Schism> Yeah, that's going to happen sometime in the next decade.  And oh?

06:07 <Cepheid> So many inexplicable rooms.

06:07 <Cepheid> Rooms with seemingly no apparent purpose.

06:08 <Cepheid> And not just typical rooms, but specially designed ones.

06:08 <Schism> Broom closets, hidden shrines, hidey-holes?

06:08 <Cepheid> In the Abyss, to the far left, there's an unusual room marked on the map, that I haven't figured out yet.

06:09 <Schism> You're not wandering through a military installation, you're wandering through a city, and people in a city do weird things for no apparent reason.

06:09 <Cepheid> That is true, but most marked rooms usually serve a purpose in this game.

06:10 <Cepheid> And this room is uniquely constructed.  Plus I also haven't figured out the Love Tower, yet.

06:10 <Schism> Ah, well, /marked/ rooms... that's a bit different, true.

06:10 <Schism> I'm sure there's some purpose then.

06:10 <Cepheid> Yeah.  A dark one, anyways.  It's the friggen Abyss, with Sibling Shades everywhere.

06:11 <Cepheid> And weird pools of black water that, when you approach them, tentacles start flailing about out of them.

06:12 <Cepheid> So ye know Zote, the bumbling bugling I keep rescuing?  Apparently there is an achievement associated with him.

06:12 <Cepheid> And it's not what you think it is, such as "Complete the little storyline involving him" and so on.

06:13 <Cepheid> No.  According to the achievement, you ignore him and leave him to his fate.

06:13 <Schism> The Great Fighter Zote.  I, ah, may have also looked ahead.

06:13 <Schism> And whoof.

06:14 <Cepheid> In two of the cases you find him, he's at the mercy of either a bug about to eat him, or spiders who no doubt plan to eat him later.

06:49 <DinkyDoo> I have no grenade used it already and I don't have a hammer it's useless compared to the axe. The axe let's you chop wood to make fences firepits sticks for arrows, bows, repair boats and also to cut a zombie down

17:25 <MDP> not much, drawing some stuff before going to see spiderman

17:26 <MDP> I booked off the release day for the mlp movie.

17:26 <MDP> excited

17:26 <Thelema5> Smart idea!  I should probably do the same

17:27 <Thelema5> I /assume/ my local theater will be playing it

17:28 <Thelema5> I suspect that the theater run will be very short lived, so fans should probably make a point of going to see it in the first week or so

17:28 <MDP> should, the cineplex here has  a big poster for it.

19:48 <Librarian> yep

19:48 <Thelema5> Neat.

19:49 <Schism> An interesting sort of idea, that.  After all, Minecraft is in small part a zombie horror game.

20:05 <Cepheid> I think we should follow the guy who own's that bike.

20:06 <Schism> That's frightening.  Thank you for fueling my nightmares.

20:06 <Cepheid> Also, nice job on getting Chocolate first.

20:07 <Cepheid> I still rmemeber getting that succubus character first.  With as few items as possible.

20:07 * Schism nodnods. "And then, my first fight against Ashuri was... er... the one on the Golden Riverbank.

20:08 <Schism> Before even fighting Cecini, IIRC.

20:08 <Schism> Cicini*

20:08 <Cepheid> How'd you manage that?  If I recall, Ashuri runs into you on the beach.  My memory about sequence breaking's a bit off, though, so..

20:08 <Schism> No, you run into her on the path leading west in the Park.

20:09 <Schism> I somehow managed to avoid that iteration on my way to sequence break the hell out of everything.

20:09 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure you run into Ashuri on the beach as you leave the forest, towards the canyon.

20:19 <Cepheid> Hmm.  I guess I should attempt that little tricky run.

20:20 <Cepheid> Basically, deliver a flower without being hit to a specific location, without using stags either.

20:27 <Schism> (Especially Irisu.)

20:27 <Cepheid> Pretty much.

20:27 <Cepheid> You have to go through the infested crossroads, full of exploding enemies everywhere.

20:27 <Schism> Ahh, those ones.

20:28 <Schism> Freaking Kamikaze Infected.

20:29 <Thelema5> I find a medium sized steel prybar to be a better all-around tool to have on hand in case of a zombie uprising

20:29 <Schism> How about a Halligan bar married to a flathead axe?  

20:30 <Thelema5> Axes are too long-handled to be effective melee weapons in close quarters, especially since they are limited to wide-slashing attacks

20:30 <Thelema5> That could work

20:30 <Cepheid> SH-

20:30 <Schism> Well, time to try again...

20:30 <Schism> Those unclear on the tool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halligan_bar

20:31 <Schism> While a Halligan Bar is also wide-handled, it has a serviceable pick, adze and claw.

20:31 <Schism> Er, long-handled*

20:32 <Cepheid> It's also assuming I get a third try.

20:32 <Schism> Fingers crossed... but don't you only save when you hit a bench, or does it autosave for you?

20:33 *** Quits: The_Nostalgia_Mare (Nossy@Pony-o73sar.fl.comcast.net) (Quit: I do talk but I nom. o3o)

20:33 <Cepheid> Autosaves.

20:33 <Cepheid> And I get unlimited tries anyhow.

20:33 <Cepheid> Gonna try something unusual.  It seems large enemies do not respawn if I don't use benches.

20:34 <Cepheid> Knowing my luck, Kamikaze enemies aren't covered by this rule.

20:34 <Schism> That sounds familiar.

20:34 <Schism> But of course benches are nothing like bonfires.

20:36 <Cepheid> Every enemy that has died, with exception to small minions, are still dead..

20:36 <Schism> And certain kamikaze bugs are, in fact, small minions.

20:36 <Cepheid> Nope.

20:36 <Schism> Oh!  Well, that's convenient then.
