00:22 <Cepheid> I want to play games, but I feel as though I shouldn't and just go to bed.

00:23 <Librarian> i cant do anything not related to finish the novel

00:23 <Librarian> im monomaniacally focused now

00:24 <Librarian> which is fantastic, havent been so happy in ages

00:24 *** Quits: CladdaghRing (isainmdom@Pony-ihj.ots.7.46.IP) (Quit: )

00:25 <Cepheid> Basically, you're so focused that you are putting aside all other things?

00:25 <Cepheid> The previous psych I spoke to who initially declared me bipolar calls that state "mania"

00:26 <Cepheid> Do stop yourself at some point.  You will burn out.

00:26 <Librarian> i stop tp eat and sleep

00:26 <Librarian> i do take breaks

00:27 <Librarian> imma do cover design while listening to an audiobook

00:27 <Librarian> in al sincerity i dont care about burnout, this is fun

00:28 <Cepheid> You'll care about burnout when you start getting frustrated that you're not making any progress.

00:30 <Librarian> owo, you have a point there

00:33 <Cepheid> And then BAM!  Depression.

00:34 <Librarian> drawing seems like a great idea now owo

00:35 <Cepheid> When I say to take a break and do something else, I generally mean something that isn't work, or feels like work.

00:35 <Cepheid> Go and order a pizza and binge-watch an anime, like Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, or something.

00:36 <Librarian> i do feel tired

00:36 <Librarian> ill just draw for the heck of it and listen to artemia

00:44 <Librarian> i have a pretty clear idea what comes next in the novel, but im more tired that i care to admit

03:42 * DashedRainbows boops Thelema5

03:43 <Thelema5> Hey

03:47 <Thelema5> I'm freaking out about my interview tomorrow.  And about getting there and back

03:47 <Thelema5> Turns out it's actually a 40 minute drive if I avoid all highways

03:49 <Thelema5> And I'll have to drive over this scary old bridge https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9501268,-74.2056039,3a,27y,330.27h,90.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHyl0ZC1h1kQJ9-Q6LwjlWg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

03:49 <Schism> Doesn't look that scary...?

03:49 <Schism> But in the winter, definitely not the sort of thing you want to have to cross regularly.

03:51 <Thelema5> I don't handle large manmade objects of heights very well, especially not at high speeds.  It's super exposed crossing it https://www.google.com/maps/@41.952316,-74.2083762,3a,75y,7.98h,89.81t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0JStuEFngrR44_piLpufHg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

03:51 <Thelema5> *or

03:53 <Schism> Guh.  @_@  I see.  And especially in the winter, when it's likely to be iced over unless it's HEAVILY salted.

03:54 <Thelema5> Interesting side note, that water the bridge crosses is property of New York City... it's a man-made resevior collecting all of our clean mountain water to be sent (stolen) to the city 100 miles away through an enormous underground aqueduct.  The whole place is guarded by armed guards and attack dogs

03:54 <Thelema5> Locals not welcome.

03:55 <Schism> Yeesh.

03:55 <Thelema5> They flooded two towns to construct it.  Ironically, one of those towns was named "Neversink"

03:58 <DashedRainbows> I somehow suppressed the temptation to buy alcohol and stuff

03:58 * Thelema5 patapat

03:59 <Thelema5> I guess it'll be a scenic ride, at least

03:59 <DashedRainbows> I'm really regretting it right now

04:02 <DashedRainbows> Apparently tomorrow is Thursday

04:02 <Thelema5> OKay, so I found a route from the eastern approach which avoids nearly all highways, avoids that bridge, and will take only 32 minutes

04:02 <Thelema5> I'mma do that

04:03 <DashedRainbows> I have to go out for an appointment

04:03 <Thelema5> At 11:00 at night?

04:03 <Thelema5> Or whatever time it is there

04:03 <Thelema5> 10?

04:03 <Thelema5> XD

04:03 <DashedRainbows> Tomorrow, not now

04:03 <DashedRainbows> Yeah 10

04:03 <Thelema5> Ooh, gotcha

04:04 <Thelema5> I really don't know what I would do without google maps

04:05 <Thelema5> It's my single most frequently used online resource

04:05 <DashedRainbows> Well enough, the latuda is not helping

04:05 <DashedRainbows> I guess tomorrow will be different

04:06 <DashedRainbows> By now I don't think I'll ever feel better

04:06 <Thelema5> They'll find an effect course of medications

04:06 <DashedRainbows> At least not by medicine

04:08 <DashedRainbows> Apparently, being hospitalized for mental health is not good for UNOS either

04:08 <DashedRainbows> Hope that it was too long ago to matter

04:09 <Thelema5> I don't know why that should even be a factor O.o

04:10 <DashedRainbows> It shows you're unstable

04:11 <DashedRainbows> On the other hoof, being able to do home dialysis, is a good sign

04:11 <DashedRainbows> So much work

04:11 <Thelema5> Unstable people don't deserve to be healthy? O.o

04:12 <Thelema5> Prejudice in the system

04:12 <DashedRainbows> Well, the thing is you still have to take care of yourself a lot

04:13 <Thelema5> Right.

04:14 <DashedRainbows> I know that on most days taking my meds or hyegine is hard

04:14 <DashedRainbows> But I do it

04:15 <Thelema5> Yay

04:16 <DashedRainbows> Anyway, once I get a transplant I'll still be bound by their rules because I know I'll need another

04:16 <DashedRainbows> Unless I die first

04:17 <Schism> Hum.  Clean kitchen, fresh cookies, can make banana bread tomorrow, all sortsa fun.

04:17 <Schism> And yea... as a diabetic, I know how much of a pain it is to keep up with meds and all that.  x.x

04:18 <DashedRainbows> I don't even take that many

04:18 <DashedRainbows> Just depression makes everything hard

04:19 <Schism> Depression makes it hard to remember to take depression meds.

04:19 <Schism> antidepressants*  Bleh, tired.

04:19 <DashedRainbows> Yup

04:20 <DashedRainbows> Makes it hard to move to take them too

04:22 <Thelema5> Oh no!  The Orville season finale was canceled

04:22 <Thelema5> I was really, really, really looking forward to that

04:22 <DashedRainbows> Wut

04:23 <Thelema5> I guess they're rolling it over to season 2, which means season one is just going to sorta stop

04:23 <DashedRainbows> Man...

04:23 <Schism> Wait... what?!  I... well, I guess that's okay?  I mean, they did say they'd be doing a season two.

04:23 <Schism> Still, furrfu.

04:24 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

04:24 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about The Orville SEASON FINALE CANCELLED - BREAKING NEWS | TALKING THE ORVILLE

04:26 <DashedRainbows> My plan for tomorrow is asking her about adding a mood stabilizer and weaning off the Prozac

04:27 <Thelema5> A mood stabilizer would be good

04:29 <The_Nostalgia_Mare> Thelema5 what?

04:29 <The_Nostalgia_Mare> How do you cancel a Season Finale?

04:30 <Thelema5> I don't know.  They claimed it was due to scheduling conflicts.  ( ._.)

04:30 <Schism> It's FOX.  This is how they treat their sci-fi shows.

04:31 <Thelema5> I know, I just hoped they would have more respect for this one

04:31 <DashedRainbows> Why would they?

04:32 <Thelema5> Show ratings, fan engagement, seth macfarlane

04:32 <Schism> There's probably some ultra-superb finale to So You Think You Can Dance that they want to take precedence.

04:33 <Schism> And, ah... doesn't FOX have a kind of lukewarm relationship with Seth MacFarlane?

04:33 <Thelema5> I mean really, Family Guy has been an anchor for their network for 17 years

04:34 *** Quits: The_Nostalgia_Mare (Nossy@Pony-o73sar.fl.comcast.net) (Quit: I do talk but I nom. o3o)

04:34 <Thelema5> You'd think they'd have some respect

04:34 <Schism> Wonder if they're going to screw over The Gifted too.

04:35 <Thelema5> I stopped watching after episode 3... only because I couldn't find time for it.  Seemed pretty good

04:37 <Schism> Marvel's doing quite a lot of good stuff these days.

04:37 <Schism> I blame the Disney buyout.  >.>

04:38 <Thelema5> Disney will soon own everything

04:39 <Thelema5> Eventually the planet will be renamed Walmart-Disney sol 3

05:10 *** Joins: RabbleRouser (RabbleRouse@Pony-9qd.gq0.49.65.IP)

05:11 <RabbleRouser> Good evening, all.

05:11 <Thelema5> Hi there!

05:12 <Snapai> Hah

05:13 <Snapai> I'm sure Saerydoth has a higher record. He's a serial sneezer >.>

05:13 <Thelema5> My personal record is 27

05:13 <Snapai> Someone should design a liquid cooling system that lets you socket pieces together without having to worry about leaks.

05:14 <Snapai> For a PC.

05:14 * Schism wonders how much Snapai sneezes, but when dragons sneeze, things happen.

05:15 <Snapai> Dragon sneezes: the original infinite improbability drive

05:15 <Schism> That'd be rather nice.  Some issues earlier?

05:15 <Snapai> No, I'm just having trouble deciding between hybrid cooler or liquid cooler

05:15 * Schism provides Snapai with a /really/ hot cup of tea.

05:16 <Snapai> So like. Imagine a liquid cooler, with fillable reservoir like regular ones so you can customize the look or whatever.

05:16 <Snapai> But instead of open tubes you connect between the blocks and radiator, it just has a closed loop with the radiator like a hybrid cooler.

05:17 <Snapai> But, with sockets along the line, and add-on components that can plug into those sockets, and divert the flow to the next component.

05:18 <Snapai> Design it so that neither the plugs nor the sockets have any risk of leaks when plugged together or when separated or when plugging/unplugging. I don't know how you'd do that.

05:19 <Snapai> But like, the plug diverts the flow, as part of how it's connected. One mechanical motion, locks the plug in and opens the valves to the loop.

05:20 <Snapai> What gave me this idea is how irrigation sprinklers work- though I think if you irrigate the inside of your PC with your liquid cooling system, something is very broken. XD

05:21 <Snapai> But like....the little sprayers, they have this thing where you just have a sealed tube fed by the pump, and the sprayers haver a sharp feed plug that you just jab into the tube wherever you want them.

05:22 <Snapai> And pneumatic lines have a plug-and-twist connection system. Of course they usually go PSSHT when you do that, which is again not something you want happening with liquid around electronics, but surely this is a mechanical problem someone's solved before.

05:23 <Snapai> idk. I like the idea of plugging parts together in a contiguous cooling system, I don't like the "run it for a while with papertowels and check for leaks" bit

05:23 <Snapai> Whereas hybrid coolers are "install and forget" like a typical fan.

05:26 <Snapai> ...waitasec

05:26 <Snapai> https://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/ProductImageCompressAll1280/14-487-377-V01.jpg - why....is there a fan on the card?

05:27 <Snapai> (though granted I have a great gpu thanks to Saerydoth, so a GPU upgrade is not strictly necessary for new PC build atm)

05:28 <Thelema5> This is all greek to me.

05:28 <Thelema5> Maybe check over at #techponies?

05:28 <Schism> Not sure about that second fan, but the bottom one is normal.

05:30 <DashedRainbows> Gah

05:30 <DashedRainbows> I'm so irritated

05:30 <Thelema5> Okay, so after 4 hours of planning I think I have a driving route to this job interview which I can manage.  It'll be about 35 minutes

05:30 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, why?

05:32 <DashedRainbows> Right now? My dad trying to "organize" my desk

05:32 <Thelema5> Gah!

05:32 <DashedRainbows> Then me kind of snapping and him being a jerk about it

05:33 <Snapai> Schism, the fan attached by hoses is supposed to be the cooler. You offload the cooling so you get better flow-through cooling and more surface area to cool.

05:33 <Thelema5> No fault on your part, IMO... you just don't touch/mess with other people's stuff

05:34 <Snapai> But....uh. Apparently the one they stuck on it isn't good enough. So they just added a heatsink and fans on the card itself, instead of using a two-fan cooler. :S

05:34 <DashedRainbows> Honestly it is a mess, but he does not know English thus can't tell what everything is

05:35 <DashedRainbows> So just don't!

05:36 <DashedRainbows> But I was already peeved before that

05:39 * Thelema5 rewatches "Joe vs. the Volcano" again, confirms it's his favorite movie ever

05:40 <DashedRainbows> I thought it was Kung Fu Hustle

05:41 <Thelema5> That's a fun one, but not in my top 10

05:41 * Schism randomly likes the word 'flibbertigibbet'.

05:41 <Thelema5> XD

05:42 <RabbleRouser> Haven't seen that one in a LONG time.

05:42 <Schism> RabbleRouser: service is my only joy!

05:43 <Schism> *ahem*  I mean, yeah.  It's a pretty uncommon word.

05:43 <Thelema5> It's worth a rewatch, RabbleRouser

05:43 <RabbleRouser> I might. It was a good movie. My favorite movie of all time is Willow.

05:44 <RabbleRouser> Schism:......uh, thanks!

05:44 <Schism> RabbleRouser, don't worry about it, weird reference to a webcomic.

05:44 <RabbleRouser> I've heard the phrase, but what is it?

05:44 <RabbleRouser> Now, flibberitgibbet I got.

05:44 <Schism> The webcomic's name is 'Skin Horse'.

05:44 <Thelema5> Willow was a good film too!

05:45 <Thelema5> I often quote it

05:45 <Snapai> Looked up 2TB hard drives. Saw a listing for $1700.

05:45 <RabbleRouser> Willow is.......just amazing.

05:45 <Snapai> ...then I realized it was a 20-pack XD

05:45 <Schism> Snapai: That sounds like a fantastic idea.  Set up a 20-drive RAID!

05:47 <RabbleRouser> Skin Horse?

05:47 <Schism> Yes.  Named after the character from The Velveteen Rabbit.

05:48 <RabbleRouser> Good story.

05:48 <Schism> It's a story of a semi-bureaucratic agency in a world where mad scientists and their creations are real, and accordingly, the government needs a liaison between humans, semi-humans, and non-humans.

05:48 <RabbleRouser> Sounds....interesting.

05:48 <Schism> Also, the author's a brony.

05:48 <RabbleRouser> Ah, gotcha.

05:49 <Schism> Not that it makes any difference in the story, but it's nice to know.  Anyway, if you've ever read Narbonic, it follows from that.

05:50 <RabbleRouser> Can't say that I have. I'm a tad low tech.

05:53 <Snapai> ....can you imagine how ridiculous this photoshoot must have seemed to the model? https://www.asrock.com/mb/features/VR.jpg XD

05:54 <RabbleRouser> Right now I'm working on a strategy guide for a board game and then building another Tails of Equestria character.

05:54 <Schism> Here, this strip is the sort of thing that happens in Narbonic.  http://narbonic.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2003/04/030425.jpg - and it actually occurs following a logical progression of events.

05:55 <RabbleRouser> Thanks. I'll look more into it.

05:57 <Thelema5> RabbleRouser, you seem like you're in my demographic... mind if I ask how old you are?

05:57 <RabbleRouser> 33.

05:57 <Schism> Cheers.  They're both excellent, and how often do you have the opportunity to witness an operatic collective of Italian silverfish doing battle with their eternal foes, a group of Amish centipedes?

05:57 <RabbleRouser> You?

05:57 <Thelema5> Ah, sweet!  I'm early 40's.  Good to find someone near my age

05:58 <RabbleRouser> Nice! Pleased to meet you!

06:03 <RabbleRouser> Oh.....my.......

06:03 <Thelema5> Schism, the explaination I've heard for that one is that it's an all-rubber training gun holstered in a way which made that obvious

06:04 <Thelema5> In other words, no responders would mistake it for a real gun

06:04 <RabbleRouser> The trigger does look like that may be right. Still funny though.

06:04 <Thelema5> Quite

06:04 <Schism> Why not paint it neon pink, then?

06:04 * Thelema5 hsa no idea

06:04 <Schism> Or some other colour where that won't be mistaken for a real firearm, at least.

06:05 <RabbleRouser> It may be in a controlled situation, like a class. I used to teach self defense. Our fake guns were neon blue.

06:06 <Schism> I don't think so.  Those chairs next to him, and the stuff at the top right, make me think he's in a fast food diner.

06:06 <RabbleRouser> trying to be positive.

06:06 <RabbleRouser> That person may just be a dunce.

06:06 <Schism> Fair enough.

06:06 <DashedRainbows> I don't like guns but I guess that time as those that do well kill me if it comes to it

06:07 <DashedRainbows> That's fine*

06:07 <RabbleRouser> I own guns and carry. I do understand that they are a weapon designed for a purpose.

06:08 <Thelema5> RabbleRouser, I'm trying to get my carry permit in NY... seems nearly impossible

06:09 * Schism mms. "I'm not going to get into the whole 'should guns be allowed' thing here, but I think we can all agree that anyone who deliberately flaunts firearm safety rules should have their shiny matte-black toys taken away."

06:09 <RabbleRouser> Thelema5, I'm also trying to catch a real unicorn. Take a guess who will finish their task first.

06:09 <Thelema5> Right

06:10 <RabbleRouser> I live in MI. The process is involved, but not painfully so.

06:10 <DashedRainbows> I could probably get a permit if I wanted

06:10 <DashedRainbows> Well, perhaps

06:11 *** Changeling_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

06:11 <RabbleRouser> Flaunting a gun is like driving a flashy car at 90 in a school zone - it's unnecessary, dangerous, and is only a means to compensate

06:11 <DashedRainbows> Those few days in a psych ward probably is a red flag

06:11 <DashedRainbows> But I'm not violent so meh

06:11 <Thelema5> IThe hold up for me is that the state wants me to provide 3 character witnesses.  I don't talk to anyone locally, so I'm disqualified

06:12 <RabbleRouser> NY rules are ridiculous.

06:12 * Thelema5 has no local friends

06:12 * DashedRainbows has no friends

06:12 <RabbleRouser> Or you could be like me and buy three MLP plushies and bring them in. Get it? "Character" witnesses?

06:13 <Tirek> Booooooo

06:13 <Thelema5> Yes, hey are.  Even though I live in a county which is very gun friendly

06:13 <RabbleRouser> That was comedy gold and everyone here knows it, Tirek

06:16 <DashedRainbows> Well, guess I'll slither off to bed and probably have a bad time tomorrow. Night

06:16 <RabbleRouser> Good night.

06:17 <Tirek> For shaaaaame!

06:17 <Thelema5> It's a classic quote

06:17 <DashedRainbows> Yeah I know

06:17 <Thelema5> XD

06:17 <DashedRainbows> I go now

06:18 <RabbleRouser> tee hee

06:18 <Tirek> On the plus side, I've started coughing up phlegm. So, this either means that the medicine is already starting to work, or the placebo effect is.

06:18 <Tirek> I still can't breathe well, though.

06:18 <Schism> Could be both, but that's definitely a good sign.

06:18 <Thelema5> Yeah, that's a good sign

06:19 <Thelema5> keep getting that crap outta your lungs

06:19 <Schism> Thelema5: Unlike some Robin Hoods...

06:20 <Thelema5> I can speak with an english accent

06:20 <Thelema5> XD

06:20 <Tirek> I can't wait until I can yell at people in Toki Pona in online games.

06:21 <Schism> Patrick Stewart makes a great Richard the Lionheart.

06:21 <Thelema5> Yus

06:21 <RabbleRouser> (Far too late to be thinking this much)

06:23 <Schism> Hah.  Like, half of Ian McKellen's tweets start with, "Yes, I'm still alive."

06:24 <Thelema5> Tirek, I've actually started a Toki Pona class, but I have alot of personal stuff interfering with it

06:24 <Thelema5> It's definately "on my list"

06:26 <Schism> Tirek: I'd link you to the chapter of a fanfic where the author does a little bit of random Pony!Linguistics, but that'd probably be a bad idea when you're in language-learning mode already.

06:27 <RabbleRouser> Toki Pona?

06:28 <Schism> No, different conlang entirely.  And more of a basic 'hey, this is what the language is like' than anything.

06:28 *** Joins: Pi (Mibbit@Pony-pbf.ute.94.119.IP)

06:30 <Tirek> Ah. Hm.

06:30 <Tirek> I'm not sure what horselanguage would be aside from stomping hooves and neighing majestically.

06:31 <Tirek> Toki Pona is a highly minimalist artlang. Only ~120 words and simple grammatical rules.

06:31 <RabbleRouser> I'm looking at it right now.

06:32 <Tirek> It's neat.

06:33 <Schism> And if a minimalist artlang/conlang isn't enough: http://www.eldalamberon.com/dni_dict.htm  >.>

06:33 <Schism> Or of course there's Sindarin.

06:33 <RabbleRouser> I guess I can see the appeal, in a way.

06:35 <Tirek> I'm only learning it so I could use it for tabletop roleplay games, should I find myself playing a character who knows a language the other players don't.

06:35 <Tirek> I could use it to shout things in character that seem like complete nonsense and I could be like, "nah, that's his native tongue, my dudes".

06:36 <Tirek> I have no other reason to learn this. Nobody I know speaks it.

06:37 <RabbleRouser> Yeah, for stuff like that it would work. Certainly not for describing complex concepts.

06:38 <Tirek> Doesn't need to. It just has to sound languagey enough to fool the other players into thinking I'm saying something inciteful, but in actuallity, I'm saying something like "THIS SWEET FRUIT IS GOOD TO ME! I EAT MANY!"

06:38 <Tirek> While I'm charging into battle.

06:38 <RabbleRouser> haha!

06:38 <RabbleRouser> I meant not useful outside of a setting like that.

06:38 <RabbleRouser> No one is going to be debating Hegelian Dialectics in Toki Pona.

06:38 <Tirek> ni kili suwi li pona e mi! mi moku e mute!

06:39 <Tirek> Yeah, nah. Toki Pona is too ambiguious for any insightful discussion.

06:39 <RabbleRouser> Sweet. I also enjoy collecting locks of hair from total strangers (I'm learning - was I close?)

06:40 <Tirek> Maybe!

06:40 <RabbleRouser> I'm going to assume I am.

06:40 <Tirek> Nah, I just repeated the battlecry from a few lines back

06:41 <Tirek> Although, I'm pretty sure I misused 'mute' as a noun.

06:41 <RabbleRouser> Ah, gotcha - I'm going to make a language where all concepts are expressed by the word Spluzz

06:42 <RabbleRouser> It's fun to say.

06:42 <Tirek> I recommend you check out kaybop.

06:42 <Tirek> Its quite possibly the best constructed language ever conceived by mankind.

06:42 <RabbleRouser> what is it?

06:42 <Tirek> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhxjI3t6Ht4

06:42 <Tirek> Here's an overview

06:45 <RabbleRouser> aaaaand.....thats enough for me.

06:45 <RabbleRouser> I'm sticking with Spluzz

06:46 <RabbleRouser> A college professor knew how to speak !Kung - the African "click" language.

06:48 <Tirek> Did the phonemic hats kill it for you?

06:48 <Tirek> And neat.

06:48 <RabbleRouser> I got about a minute into it.

06:49 <RabbleRouser> I've seen stuff like it before. In college a few people worked on an invented language built entirely on sniffs.

06:50 <RabbleRouser> That was funny, watching people sniff in and out covering nostrils in all sorts of ways.

06:55 <RabbleRouser> Hmmm.......decisions

06:58 <RabbleRouser> Has anyone played a good intro RPG?

06:58 <Schism> A few of them.  By an intro RPG, you mean one with comparatively simple systems, not this huge mess of stats and balances?

06:59 <RabbleRouser> Yeah. I'm looking at No Thank You, Evil!, but it seems too basic.

06:59 <RabbleRouser> Little Wizards might be a better option.

07:00 <Schism> Ahhh, tabletop RPGs.  You could look at some of those which use the FATE system.

07:00 <Schism> For example, Spirit of the Century or the Dresden Files RPG.

07:00 <RabbleRouser> I hate the FATE system.

07:01 <Schism> Ah.  A bit too loose?

07:01 <RabbleRouser> I find it hollow.

07:02 <Tirek> I haven't played it yet, but Open Legends looks promising.

07:02 <Tirek> GURPS is technically a simple game, but a lot of people are intimidated by the shopping list.

07:02 <RabbleRouser> Didn't like OL. The classless concept is good, but it leads to non-specification.

07:02 <Schism> Um.  Yes, GURPS is technically a simple game, in the same way that an automobile is a cart with four wheels and an engine.

07:02 <Schism> What age range are you thinking of here, and any particular theme?

07:03 <Tirek> Well, no, GURPS is superbly simple. Every skill roll is a 3d6. The only issue with GURPS is the combat.

07:03 <Schism> Pretty big issue.

07:03 <RabbleRouser> 6+. NTYE seems almost quaint (I think my 4 year old is too advanced for it). Little Wizards looks good, and is made by Crafty, who makes my favorite open system.

07:03 <Tirek> GURPS's combat is the most complicated part.

07:04 <Tirek> Anyway, lemme dig through my list of rpgs.

07:04 <Schism> RabbleRouser, so definitely not going to be playing Trail of Cthulhu or Paranoia.  (Though I bet schoolkids would be great at playing Paranoia.)

07:04 <RabbleRouser> I wish I could get a hold of Little Fears, but not for my kids.

07:05 <Schism> Ohey.  What about TOON?  

07:05 <RabbleRouser> What's TOON?

07:05 <Schism> A Steve Jackson title by Warren Spector and Greg Costikyan, where there's no death, just hit points deducted when, say, anvils fall on the PCs.

07:06 <Tirek> As far as rules-lite goes, I have Swords & Wizardry Light.

07:06 <RabbleRouser> Ugh, Steve Jackson.

07:06 <Tirek> Didn't get to play it yet.

07:06 <RabbleRouser> Honestly I just might start my girls on Pirates of the Spanish Main and Tails of Equestria.

07:06 <Tirek> We ended up getting whisked away into the magical world of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon before we gave that a try.

07:06 <Schism> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toon_(role-playing_game) - Betcha you can find some PDFs floating around... oh, c'mon, Steve Jackson's put out a lot of good stuff.  At least give it a glimpse before you knock it.  Besides, this was released in 1984.

07:07 <RabbleRouser> I have found nothing from Steve Jackson Games I enjoy.

07:08 <RabbleRouser> Their remake of Port Royal made me want to cry.

07:08 <Schism> At least Costikyan and Spector are decent game designers?

07:08 <RabbleRouser> Honestly never heard of them....so maybe it's worth a shot.

07:09 <Tirek> I really want to try my hand at fixing all the issues GURPS has one of these days, but I'm not really a game designer.

07:09 <Schism> Warren Spector is perhaps best known for his work on numerous video games, including Deus Ex, Ultima 6 through 7.5, Thief, System Shock, and Wing Commander.

07:09 <RabbleRouser> Ah, gotcha.

07:09 <RabbleRouser> Fixing GURPS is like sweeping the beach :P

07:10 <Tirek> I dunno about that.

07:10 <Tirek> Anyway, my breathing stabilized enough that I think I could probably get some sleep

07:10 <Tirek> So I'm going to take advantage of it while I can.

07:11 <Schism> Good idea.  The less apnea you get, the better; sleep well!

07:11 <RabbleRouser> Sleep well.

07:11 <Schism> RabbleRouser: Oh, and Costikyan wrote Paranoia.

07:13 <RabbleRouser> All right. never played it. I enjoy Ex Machina for dystopian RPG

07:14 <Schism> Paranoia's fun in that metagaming is strictly prohibited -- anywhere that Friend Computer can catch you, that is.

07:14 <Schism> So arguing against the rules... what rules, Citizen?  Knowledge of the rules is restricted to [White] clearance and above.

07:15 <Schism> (Ultraviolet, that is.)

07:15 <RabbleRouser> I just skimmed a bit about it. It does look fun.

11:14 * ConfusionRift gives Divide a toy boat with a single titanium ore. :P

11:19 <Divide> Bah!

11:20 * Divide recovers some voxels, then buys a larger ship.

11:21 <Divide> I can either do a bunch of quests and hire a ton of passengers, or I can do this.  >.>

11:32 <Divide> Oh, ConfusionRift, did they have this archaeology minigame when last you played?

11:32 <ConfusionRift> Yessir.

11:32 <ConfusionRift> The fossil mining? Yep. It was one of the funding goals.

11:32 <Divide> Ah, so not that long ago.

11:33 <ConfusionRift> It was active maybe two to three versions before 1.0.

11:34 <Divide> And space station building?

11:34 * Divide also hugs the CleverDerpy and offers some oatmeal raisin cookies.

11:34 <CleverDerpy> Hiya,

11:34 * CleverDerpy purrs and noms the muffins, hugging Divide back

11:34 * Lumindia__ boops Derpy's snootle

11:34 <CleverDerpy> *cookies

11:34 <Lumindia__> Surprise boop!

11:34 <CleverDerpy> eeo!

11:34 * CleverDerpy scrunchymuzzles

11:34 <Lumindia__> <3

11:35 <CleverDerpy> drpy just got up

11:35 <CleverDerpy> Kinda groggy derp

11:35 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, station building was in 1.3.0, so it's fairly recent. I don't remember of it anyways.

11:36 <ADragonDreaming> what game this

11:36 <ConfusionRift> Starbound.

11:36 <ADragonDreaming> ah starbound

11:40 <Cepheid> I don't know who, but one of my classmates brought some illness to school with them, and I caught it.

11:41 <Divide> Cepheid: AUGH.

11:42 * CleverDerpy offers Divide a muffin

11:44 * Divide nomfs it, and offers the CleverDerpy another hug. "Space stations are stupidly expensive, though."

11:44 <Cepheid> It gives the player something to do, though.

11:46 <Divide> Indeed.

11:46 * CleverDerpy wags her tail and smiles

11:47 <ConfusionRift> Start gathering ores, ingots, lower level weapons, and monster parts you don't need. It's one of the easier ways, aside from doing side missions for randos.

11:48 <CleverDerpy> ConfusionRift, derpy has question

11:49 <ConfusionRift> Alrighty?

11:49 <CleverDerpy> what is cheesecake like?

11:50 <ConfusionRift> That's a rather odd question. Do you mean as in taste, as a dessert, or something else?

11:51 <Cepheid> Sweet and creamy is the best way to put it.

11:51 <Finwe> Lt Cdrs CleverDerpy and ConfusionRift, AB Cepheid, Messrs Divide and Lumindia__.

11:51 <Finwe> o7

11:51 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

11:52 <CleverDerpy> RAdm. Finwe

11:52 * CleverDerpy salutes

11:52 <Lumindia__> o7

11:52 <Cepheid> I should be asleep right now.  The plan was to wake up at 10.  But I'm both tired and alert.

11:52 <Divide> Cepheid: Oh, like dragon tails...

11:52 <Cepheid> Damnit Schism.

11:53 <Divide> Don't give me that, you set it up.

11:53 <Cepheid> That wasn't the intent.

11:54 * Divide grumps, anyway, at how little titanium there appears to be down on this planet's core.

12:05 * CleverDerpy purrs

12:05 * Cepheid noms dry roasted peanuts while sitting atop Schism.

12:05 <CleverDerpy> thank you sir~

12:07 <ConfusionRift> Woooow, I left the Queen's Garden unexplored. (sighs) Adventure, hoooooooh!

12:07 <Divide> Hmmm, I guess 237 titanium bars is an okay start...

12:08 <ConfusionRift> That should be enough for armor and weapons.

12:08 <Divide> Oh, definitely.  It's just that to make a huge room in the space station, I need 225 titanium, 300 gold, 80 silver, and 300 copper wire.

12:10 * Cepheid crashes a mech into Schism's station. He then goes back to bed.

12:10 <CleverDerpy> where is Schism?

12:11 * Divide is Schism too. Also, nods to Cepheid.

12:11 <Cepheid> Back in a few hours I guess.

12:12 <Divide> See ya soon.  And hmm, guess gold bars aren't THAT expensive...

12:13 <CleverDerpy> did derpy tell you all she's got a ponyfreind now?

12:13 <CleverDerpy> she's officially no longer single~

12:14 <Finwe> o3o!

12:14 * Finwe re-snuggles the CleverDerpy.

12:59 <ConfusionRift> That's much better than sleeping 30 minutes every 2 hours.

13:07 <Divide> There, so much for that boss.  All hail Big Ape.  *BSOD's the chimp*

13:07 <Cepheid> I should be asleep.  Instead I am washed, dressed and on a bus.

13:09 <Cepheid> Tirek.  If my episodes of pneumonia are any indication, yer gonna get worse before you get better.

13:09 <Cepheid> So try to stay in bed.  Use wireless devices to chat instead if you can.

13:10 <ConfusionRift> I believe he's under medication for it, well bronchitis.

13:10 <ConfusionRift> Divide: You're against Cyber Money? :P

13:10 <Cepheid> Yeah but still.  Then again my immune system sucks, so....

13:11 <ConfusionRift> I could get better, but can also get worse. Who knows? Hopefully it doesn't get worse. It just plain sucks.

13:11 <Tirek> My immune system isn't that bad, though. I'll survive.

13:12 <Divide> Hmmm, now I can buy tier 3 augments.  Nice.

13:13 <Divide> Just not the most useful one...

13:13 <Cepheid> My experiences with pneumonia and bronchitis is that they usually get worse over the medication before they get better halfway through the meds.

13:13 <Cepheid> Light augment?

13:13 <Divide> Yeah.

13:14 <Cepheid> It is the most useful augment.  Yes.

13:17 <Cepheid> Hum.  Next systems programming tutorial is... Makefile creation.

13:17 <Cepheid> *3 minutes later*  Done.

13:19 <Cepheid> Huzzah.  Traffic slowing down the bus on Innes.

13:21 <Cepheid> At least I am dressed up all warm.  Good socks.  Jeans.  T-shirt.  A sweater over the shirt..

13:22 <Cepheid> So if I get tired, I can try to find a place to take a short nap or something.  Wonder if security would listen to a sign that tells them I'm not feeling well and I'm taking a nap.

13:22 * ConfusionRift nods.

13:23 *** Quits: Pi (Mibbit@Pony-pbf.ute.94.119.IP) (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

13:23 <ConfusionRift> There should be a cap/hat that shows your current status.

13:24 <Cepheid> Best we can do there is a thermal sensor on the rim of the hat.  It sits on your forehead and reports temperature.  Not sure how accurate it would be.

13:26 <Cepheid> I have a more extreme idea.  The problem though is that keyword "extreme".

13:27 <Tirek> We can't do anything drastic until nanobots are inexpensive to make

13:27 <Tirek> However, it's very unlikely that we'd stop at health with them.

13:28 <ConfusionRift> Knock off nanobots?

13:28 <Cepheid> Basically akin to a device hooked up to the circulatory system that can track stuff like white blood cell count, blood pressure, blood-glucose, etc.

13:28 <Tirek> Hm.

13:28 *** Joins: FreezeFrame (Darryl@Pony-ihjqun.fios.verizon.net)

13:29 <Cepheid> And uses NFC for a quick capture of the data.  But ye know.  Extreme and "OMG TRACKING!"

13:30 <ConfusionRift> NFC can be very low, which would require a device to be at very close proximity to work.

13:30 <Cepheid> Nevermind that it is extremely easy to track a person these days anyways.  The other day I saw an example of it.

13:30 <ConfusionRift> Phone GPS?

13:31 <ConfusionRift> Then again, there's the CRM problem too.

13:31 <Cepheid> Two classmates met up.  One asked the other how they found them.  "I used that app we use to put down where we are.  I just followed it to you."

13:31 <ConfusionRift> Wait, so it is GPS. Unless it's just a post tracer.

13:33 <Tirek> I just saw footage of the new Harvest Moon game.

13:33 <Tirek> I feel like I'm looking at a game made with stock assets from RPGMaker.

13:33 <Tirek> The art style just screams amateur.

13:34 <Cepheid> GPS.  The app both tracks and reports your location to others in a group, and also reports when you enter certain buildings.

13:34 * ConfusionRift turns it off.

13:34 <ConfusionRift> Done.

13:35 <Divide> Ohey, friendly ship.

13:35 <Cepheid> It only reports the location if you use the app.  GPS by itself transmits nothing to others.

13:35 <Cepheid> As for the app, I don't recall.

13:35 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaah. Hehehe. I see how it works then. That can be dangerous.

13:36 <Cepheid> GPS isn't bad per se.  It's just that apps are using info from it.  It may as well be big brother.  Only big brother in this case are app deva and your friends and family.

13:38 <Cepheid> Makes stalking easy too.  Because people are so willing to let these fun apps track them.

13:39 <ConfusionRift> That's the thing. Whomever uses the application can track you with ease. Of course, GPS by itself is no problem, since it can be very helpful with localization and emergency tracking.

13:40 <Cepheid> It's these extra apps that have you set up GPS for using them.  Yeah.

13:40 <ConfusionRift> "Why does this Bubble Shooter game require GPS activation?"

13:40 <Cepheid> Myself I don't care.  No one wants to find me, nor has a reason to.

13:40 <Cepheid> Heh.

13:41 <Cepheid> Fortunately OS devs are getting a bit better with access rights.  That said a lot of work is still needed.

13:42 <Cepheid> For example.  No password is required to give apps these access rights.  I could pick up someone's phone and install a tracker app on it.  Minus the initial login.  But there are ways past that too.

13:43 <ConfusionRift> You basically give the app right to do whatever when you download it. I think the app stores should do a better clean up on the applications that are publicly distributed.

13:43 <Cepheid> As it is the app stores now state what access it needs to the hardware.

13:43 <Cepheid> If you are concerned about it, don't use it.

13:44 * ConfusionRift nods.

13:44 <ConfusionRift> Was also gonna mention your phone is basically a key logger and saves passwords by default.

13:44 <Cepheid> Anyways...  I would love to continue this conversation but my phone battery is at 6%.  I'll be back when I get to school.

13:44 <ConfusionRift> Alrighty, catcha laters.

13:49 <Tirek> Well, I can breathe again, I'm gonna try to get another bit of sleep in.

13:49 <Tirek> Tonight we're doing the pokemon mystery dungeon rp, and we're actually going to get into a proper dungeon, maybe.

13:50 <ConfusionRift> Niiiice.

13:50 <Tirek> We spent the past 3 sessions just doing character development, its great.

13:50 <Tirek> GM didn't have to do a thing.

13:52 <ConfusionRift> Those are the best moments. He/she's just watching all unfold on itself. I wonder if there was some note taking.

13:53 <Tirek> Oh, definitely.

13:53 <Tirek> I basically singlehandedly did all the worldbuilding for the town.

13:53 <Tirek> Just by off-hand comments.

13:56 <Tirek> Anyway, later.

13:56 <ConfusionRift> Laters, and have a good one.

13:57 <Divide> "Come visit our ship!" "Why, don't mind if I do (steal everything that's not nailed down for mech purposes)!"

13:59 <ConfusionRift> "Hello, welcome to our humble abode.Make yourself at home." | Why thank you. Well appreciated. (steals everything aside the home, including the walls, ceiling, and floors) These will come in handy. Have a good one, sir! (ports out) | "Well, at least we're ali-" (squiish)

14:00 * ConfusionRift returns to pick up the pixels they dropped.

14:17 * ConfusionRift sighs.

14:17 <ConfusionRift> I live near the border, and many customers ask with other measurements.

14:17 <Cepheid> ...

14:17 <Cepheid> You're missing the joke.

14:18 <Cepheid> "There'd be *MASS* confusion"  What is pounds and kilograms related to?

14:18 *** Joins: foxy (foxy@Pony-bo6faf.ga.comcast.net)

14:18 <ConfusionRift> Weight, which is mass.

14:18 <Cepheid> Mass times gravity, but yes. :P

14:19 <ConfusionRift> I was just reminded of the mess I keep getting myself into at work. Sorry.

14:19 <Cepheid> Ah.  No problem.

14:19 <Cepheid> Truth told, it'd go both ways, even though Canadians are generally used to both.  We commonly use pounds for body weight, grams for everything else.

14:20 <Cepheid> There is a student shaking his foot, and it's shaking up against his chair, creating a clicking noise.

14:20 <Cepheid> Am I allowed to kill him?

14:21 <ConfusionRift> I... do the same out of nerves. But yeah, go ahead.

14:21 <Cepheid> I shake my foot for the same reason, but I don't tap it against a surface to create a clicking noise.

14:24 <ADragonHoarding> Am I the only seeing the boxy-as-hell firefox tabs now?

14:24 <ConfusionRift> I'm using Waterfox, so I dunno.

14:25 <Cepheid> I use Chrome.

14:25 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift:  Annoyingly, gas companies like the litres-gallons difference here in Canada.

14:25 <Cepheid> What you guys pay for a gallon, we generally pay for a litre.

14:25 <ConfusionRift> Ouch!

14:25 <Cepheid> In some cases, it's cheaper to actually drive down to the US, buy a tank of gas, then return home.

14:26 <ConfusionRift> And don't get me started on brands and lingo from across the border.

14:26 <Cepheid> Currently gas is ~$1.20 a litre.  Which translates to about $4.80 a gallon.  South of the border, I hear it's around $2.00 a gallon or so.

14:27 <ConfusionRift> I think last I checked it was $2.52 over here.

14:27 <ConfusionRift> Per gallon.

14:27 <Cepheid> It seems to depend on the region.

14:28 <Cepheid> In any case, there is generally a disparity in price.  That's why you'll see a lot of Canadians along the border going to the US for some products.

14:28 <ConfusionRift> Oh, 2.29 it seems.

14:28 <Cepheid> Price disparity can range from ~0% all the way up to 500% markup.

14:28 <ConfusionRift> Ech.

14:28 <Cepheid> And often isn't based on currency exchange rates, either.

14:29 <ConfusionRift> It also depends on brand name too.

14:29 <Cepheid> Or, if it is, the initial price is set based on exchange rate, but never adjusted as currency exchange rates change.

14:30 <Cepheid> So one week, the dolar might be mmm, $0.75 CAD to $1.00 USD.  This results in stuff like game prices being 79.99 or 89.99 CAD.

14:30 <Cepheid> The next week, the dollar could go up to parity, and you'll see new releases at 59.99 or 69.99, but those 79.99 or 89.99 games stay where they are.

14:31 <Cepheid> The absolute worst commodity though tends to be cars, from what I've heard.  They suffer some of the worst markups.

14:32 <Cepheid> Or anything from WeLoveFine.

14:32 <Cepheid> Because shipping costs always somehow exceed the cost of what you buy from them.

14:33 <ConfusionRift> I dunno why, but was reminded of the Xenoblade mess.

14:33 <Cepheid> Probably because I keep talking about it as of late.

14:33 <Cepheid> But what's the mess you are referring to?

14:34 *** Quits: BlackSentinel (BlackSentin@behind.you) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

14:36 *** Joins: BlackSentinel (BlackSentin@Pony-cncgv8.cpe.pppoe.ca)

14:36 <Cepheid> Not a danged clue.

14:36 <ADragonHoarding> All I care about is that I can get in with a minimum of hassle.

14:36 <Cepheid> "Hey, we updated our sign in page to make it... flashier!  Enjoy the new sign in experience."  "... What?"

14:36 <ConfusionRift> I think it was Xenoblade. I know it was for the Wii. Waaay past its prime and its brand new release value. Game Stop kept the game at collector's value, which was $150. And I did held said game in my hands, and it was at that price. Disc outside the box, box in okay conditions, unwrapped, and who knows of the conditions of the disc itself.

14:37 <Cepheid> Yeah, GameStop is... questionable in that regard.

14:37 <Cepheid> Legally they aren't supposed to be removing the disc at all.

14:38 <Cepheid> How they're still in business despite breaking laws/agreements like that is beyond me.  As a result I don't order through them anymore.

14:38 <Cepheid> Or buy much of anything through them, if I can.

14:38 <ADragonHoarding> I went to them for some Legendary Pokemon deals once, recently.

14:39 <Cepheid> I'm not a Pokemon player, so..

14:39 <ConfusionRift> They say it's for safety purposes, since it's not that difficult to smuggle games out the store. Alas, I don't see why I'm paying $60 for an open game with a dirty disc.

14:39 <ADragonHoarding> which tuned out to be a GOLD MINE of stuff.

14:39 <ADragonHoarding> But a new game? hahaha now

14:39 <ADragonHoarding> *no

14:39 <Cepheid> Honestly, the best approach is to use an empty box on the shelf, while keeping the sealed package in the back.

14:39 <Cepheid> Except they don't do that.

14:39 <Cepheid> Usually, for new games, I go to Best Buy.

14:40 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, how about, I dunno, use the darn display packages they use for game advertising!

14:40 <ADragonHoarding> Usually, for new games, I don't go brick and mortar.

14:40 <Cepheid> THere's one right near the local EBGames.  Often has a better supply stock than the EBGames, and they also keep the games in their cases, no matter how old.

14:40 <Cepheid> EBGames is the local variant of GameStop.  Though new stores are labeled GameStop now, the older stores are still labeled as EBGames.

14:41 <ConfusionRift> ...I think EBGames is a subsidiary.

14:41 <Cepheid> It was bought out, actually.

14:41 *** Joins: The_Greener (The_Greene@Pony-raf.idj.246.46.IP)

14:41 <Cepheid> It was a separate company, then later bought out by GameStop, now all the stores are being replaced by GameStop.

14:41 *** Lord_Greener is now known as Pony_39990

14:41 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, sadly.

14:41 <Cepheid> They do it in a slow progression.  They open a GameStop near the EBGames, the EBGames sells all it's stock to consumers, then finally closes down.

14:42 <Cepheid> It's happened to almost every store I know of.  The only EBGames it hasn't been done to is the one near my place.

14:42 <FreezeFrame> In my neck of the woods, they just rebranded all the Electronics Boutiques at some point.

14:42 *** The_Greener is now known as Lord_Greener

14:43 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, they got bought out, and signs replaced.

14:46 <Cepheid> In any case, the two major distributors of games around here are now GameStop and BestBuy.  Walmart is behind the times.

14:46 <Cepheid> Their stock is questionable at best, as well.

14:46 <ADragonHoarding> wouldn't go to them for it anyway. Not a fan of Walmart.

14:46 <ConfusionRift> They only have the new and popular stuff.

14:47 <ConfusionRift> I only go because I get a discount.

14:47 <ConfusionRift> And trust me, I hawk them and the merchandise.

14:47 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:47 <ADragonHoarding> hawk?

14:48 <Cepheid> That said, right now, with the current situation in gaming, a lot of people would hate me for doing a pre-order of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.  I pre-ordered the special edition.  With tax, it was $142. >_>  *Coughs*

14:51 <ConfusionRift> Indeed it was.

14:51 <ConfusionRift> I should mention there have also been reports of associates stealing pre-releases.

14:52 <Cepheid> That honestly does not surprise me.

14:52 <Cepheid> Associates do that at every bloody store I can think of.

14:53 <Cepheid> Or they pay for it before the actual date it's due to be released, get their shipment of pre-orders, then take one of them.

14:53 * ConfusionRift nods.

14:53 <Cepheid> It's how leaked content gets out ahead of release-date.

14:53 <ADragonHoarding> Ah.

14:54 <ADragonHoarding> I don't buy very often anyway

14:54 <ADragonHoarding> and Cepheid, shame.

14:54 <ADragonHoarding> SHAAAAAAAME.

14:54 <Cepheid> Newer approaches include decrypting pre-load files, for digital releases.  Or being extremely buddy-buddy with the stores and getting pre-orders early.

14:54 <Cepheid> Oh, I don't do it, ADragonHoarding.

14:54 <ADragonHoarding> No, I mean pre-order.

14:54 <Cepheid> Ah.

14:54 <Cepheid> I wanted that special edition.

14:55 <ADragonHoarding> I'm of the opinion that special editions are for re-releases.

14:55 <Cepheid> Perhaps.  That's how Axiom Verge is going, anyways.

14:55 <Cepheid> Re-release on multiple platforms.  Includes a world map, among other details.

14:55 <ADragonHoarding> And the idea for the special edition is that it's the up-to-date, full spectrum of all the things

14:55 <ADragonHoarding> All that extra stuff that got added after launch?

14:55 <ADragonHoarding> That's the SE.

14:56 <ADragonHoarding> Included. All in one.

14:56 <Cepheid> True.

14:56 <Cepheid> Patches, DLC, etc.

15:01 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, they rarely, if ever, do re-releases with all the extra stuff.  And if they do, it often doesn't include the stuff from the pre-order, etc.

15:22 <Cepheid> I can't access my account.  I don't recall what email it was associated with.  Password recovery doesn't work with any of the functioning emails I have.  So it's associated with a defunct email.  And even then I don't recall the password.

15:28 <Amrauz> Okay

15:28 <Amrauz> Problem with that is that itll take awhile

15:29 <Amrauz> Did you ever update your account when they changed the login stuff?

15:29 <Amrauz> Or is your minecraft account a legacy account?

15:30 <ADragonHoarding> "A while" is better than "never"

15:30 <Amrauz> xD well depends...

15:30 <Cepheid> I did upgrade it.  But none of my emails seem to work.

15:31 <ADragonHoarding> I remember when mine got stolen.

15:31 <Cepheid> I'll try again when I get over to the tech building.

15:31 <ADragonHoarding> I remember that I had enough info to take it back over

15:31 <ADragonHoarding> even though the e-mail address on file for it had been altered

15:32 <ADragonHoarding> So whoever had bought the stolen account got a rude awakening.

15:32 <ADragonHoarding> IIRC it was some Russian e-ail.

15:56 <Amrauz> Also i was able to order it yes!

15:57 <Cepheid> Amrauz:  In regards to your earlier question, if it was the wrong credit card number, it'll likely error out as sales now require the 3-digit security code as well.  And address/name is also checked.  At worst, were something like what you described were to happen, the person would see an unexpected transaction on their records, and just cancel it.

16:25 <Cepheid> They'll be in the middle of cleaning, suddenly stop, but their tongue won't retract completely.

16:25 <Cepheid> I've seen Spitfire and Tizzy do it rarely.

16:25 <lonely`Coco> Yeah.

16:26 <Cepheid> It's most commonly seen when their cleaning is interrupted for something.

16:26 * Lumin boops CEph

16:26 <Amrauz> My cat likes just keeping her mouth open.

16:26 <lonely`Coco> I don't like to interrupt my cats when they're grooming, maybe that's why

16:26 <Amrauz> And tounge half out

16:27 <Lumin> I'll interrupt cats whenever

16:27 <lonely`Coco> Nothing is more relaxing to me than a cat grooming itself beside me.

16:27 <Lumin> if I want to pet my cat, I'mg onna pet my cat, dangit

16:27 <Amrauz> My cat loves to be pushed over onto her side

16:27 <lonely`Coco> I wish I could train my cats to groom themselves on demand until I fall asleep

16:27 <Cepheid> I interrupt my cats accidentally.

16:27 <lonely`Coco> But they usually do that anyways

16:28 <Cepheid> Mostly I turn in bed, or I get up from the couch or chair.

16:28 <Cepheid> This is enough to distract or interrupt the cats.

16:28 <lonely`Coco> Yeah

16:28 <Cepheid> Especially Spitfire, who now has to decide if he has to follow me or race downstairs or somewhere else.

16:28 <lonely`Coco> Sometimes mine will stop if I just move even a little

16:28 <Cepheid> Most often, he races down to the living room.  We have a nice rug in there, and he likes to run to one of the corners, flop over and mewl at me.

16:28 <Amrauz> My cat will run up to me and ill push her over and she'll purr and make a plumpf sound and roll around while i pet her

16:29 <Amrauz> It's a light nudge not a shove x just so you know

16:29 <Cepheid> When he was a kitten, it was a common behaviour for me to lean over and give him an extremely rough petting all down the body, with belly rubs included.  I mostly did this on said rug.

16:29 <Amrauz> Then she'll attack me and run away

16:29 <Cepheid> SO he has associated being on the rug with getting that treatment.

16:29 <Amrauz> xD

16:30 <Amrauz> Cats are too cute

16:30 <Cepheid> My parents and sister insist that I'm too harsh with the petting, and yet..

16:30 <Cepheid> Both cats demand the type of rough petting treatment I give them.

16:31 <Cepheid> Tizzy bites me if I pet her normally, but if I give her the rough treatment, she starts purring and drooling a tad.

16:31 <Amrauz> It really depends on the cat. My cat was a rescue cat show sh/

16:31 <Amrauz> She's pretty aggresive at times

16:31 <Cepheid> Spitfire likes it because it feels good and makes his coat feel cleaner or more silky, anyways.

16:31 <Amrauz> And enjoys being held against her will

16:31 <Cepheid> Tizzy is...

16:31 <Cepheid> She's not a rescue, but she's a little weird in the head.

16:32 <Amrauz> xD

16:32 <Cepheid> She bites me when I pet her, she bites me when I'm not petting her.  We think she bites me because it's her way of showing love, only she just doesn't realize that it hurts.

16:32 <lonely`Coco> I've never been to Canada, I wish I could visit. I like cold weather.

16:32 <Cepheid> Depends on the region, lonely`Coco.  Some areas are cold, some aren't.  Where I am, it's sweater weather at best.

16:32 <Cepheid> So it's anywhere between -10 and +10 celsius.

16:32 <Amrauz> My cats name is Eve... Short for evil... Because when we first got her she's just growl and attack us randomly

16:33 <lonely`Coco> That's cold compared to where I live.

16:33 <Cepheid> Or 14 to 50 for you southerners.

16:33 <Amrauz> She was a cute little princess tasmanian devil

16:33 <lonely`Coco> It never snows here ever, except in the mountains

16:33 <Cepheid> All of the cats we've ever owned in our family have been odd.  Even before I was born.

16:34 <Amrauz> Cephied thats awesome that it's that cold

16:34 <Cepheid> My dad had a cat named Prissy.  Got her from his uncle who bought the cat for $400.  However, the cat was terrified for some reason.  It'd never come out of hiding from the room farthest in the back of the house.  That's why his uncle gave it away.

16:34 <Amrauz> Ah..

16:35 <Cepheid> Unfortunately for the new house it was moving to, the cat's new hiding spot which was the room farthest in the back of the house, also happened to be my dad's bedroom.

16:35 <Cepheid> And my dad, like me, tended to stay in his own room a lot.

16:35 <Cepheid> So the cat would hide in his clothing dresser.  He would slowly coax it out.

16:35 <Cepheid> Eventually, the cat came out, and over time grew attached to my dad.  And I guess from that point the cat just got more and more courageous.

16:36 <Amrauz> That's good

16:36 <Amrauz> I would love to hug and snuggle my cat daily but she'd murder me if I did that she's the fluffiest cat in existance

16:36 <Cepheid> And attached.  It got so bad that she would wait at the end of the driveway for my dad to come home from school.  Of course she wasn't an outdoor cat, and his parents would watch her, but yeah.  She'd just sit there, waiting.

16:37 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, that stopped after one day the cat went missing.  It came back a week later, with a good injury of the ear.

16:38 <Cepheid> From what my dad told me, that cat was long-lived, like almost all of our cats have been.

16:38 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: Sparks only last so long)

16:38 <Cepheid> Lived to 20 or so.

16:38 <CleverDerpy> hiya

16:39 <Cepheid> The only cat that we've had that wasn't long-lived was Neko.  My sister's adopted cat from years ago.  Two years old when adopted, he didn't make it past four years.

16:39 <Cepheid> My sister likes to adopt cats from the wrong kinds of shelters.  And doesn't get a history of the cats, either.

16:40 <Cepheid> This cat had been abused in it's early life, and there is some supicions that lead to the urinary tract issues he kept having all the time.  It got so bad that suddenly a large growth appeared in the urinary tract itself, and he had to be put to sleep.

16:40 <Cepheid> At the least, his last year of life was one of the best he's ever had.

16:40 <Amrauz> Aw

16:43 <Cepheid> Why are you grumpy ADragonHoarding?

16:43 <ADragonHoarding> It's an asset management company I guess.

16:43 <Amrauz> I have never heard of it.

16:43 <CleverDerpy> like BDO?

16:43 <ADragonHoarding> Dunno.

16:44 <ADragonHoarding> Cepheid: because you're not so grump.

16:44 <Amrauz> He's grumpy cause he's a dragon. X3

16:44 <Amrauz> And he'a surrounded by ponies

16:44 <Cepheid> If you want I can induce a panic attack and depressive episode.

18:32 <Librarian> tis hard

18:32 <Librarian> and expensive

18:33 <Cepheid> Serotonin is a chemical used for signalling other neurons.

18:33 <Cepheid> Normally, a neuron deposits some serotonin, the next neuron is signaled, and then the original neuron re-absorbs some of the serotonin it deposited.

18:33 <Cepheid> However, inhibitors prevent the re-absorption.

18:34 <DashedRainbows> On Prozac, neurontin, propanolol, depakote, and latuda

18:35 <Cepheid> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressant_discontinuation_syndrome Looks like it's got a general name, the syndrome induced by discontinuation, now.

21:38 <Cepheid> The only reason I can conclude that he refuses to provide a source file is because he wants us to demonstrate the concept of linking with an external object file.

21:39 <Cepheid> Problem is, I can't link it because i386 is incompatible with x86_64.

21:39 <Cepheid> So I'll have to use a VM image he designed to do the work since he is likely to be a pain in the rear about this.

21:42 <Cepheid> Which by the way doesn't exist.

21:42 <Cepheid> There is no provided VM.

23:16 <Cepheid> College professors voted yesterday and today on the latest contract.  It was a resounding "no" and expected to be such.

23:17 <Cepheid> It's been five weeks the professors were on strike, and a good portion of that time was spent not bothering to discuss the contract.

23:18 <Cepheid> Students are preparing a class-action lawsuit.  Ontario colleges aren't sure how they're going to handle the financial situation for students.  So the government said "enough is enough" and is enacting back-to-work legislation, forcing the professors to work whether they like it or not.
