01:13 <PinkieShy> i got a virus :/ it replaced my browsers with a fake

01:13 <PinkieShy> Time to get my malware tools ready.. Time to teach a virus not to come on my system.

01:31 <Shed-34046> i can't remove the setting at all :(

01:32 <RazorSharpFang> Reimage your machine, man.

01:32 <RazorSharpFang> Reformat, reinstall.

01:32 <Ali> Malwarebytes typically finds and kills those kind of things

01:32 <RazorSharpFang> You can't prove that a machine isn't compromised.

01:32 <Shed-34046> Malwarebytes found nothing.

01:33 <Shed-34046> Hitmanpro found nothing

01:33 <Ali> Safemode and run again

01:33 <Shed-34046> Bitdefender might find it if not then safemode

01:33 <RazorSharpFang> I'd just reimage the machine man.

04:12 <Saerydoth> try Malwarebytes

04:12 <Saerydoth> if Malwarebytes can't fix it, it's time to foramt

04:12 <Saerydoth> *format

04:12 <PinkieShy> RazorSharpFang not all of us wants to reinstall everything again though.

04:13 <RazorSharpFang> Right, but you don't want to use an infected machine

05:40 <Thelema5> Hiya

05:41 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, how did the results of your trip to the oncologist turn out?

05:42 <PinkieShy> My christmas was officially ruined.. :/

05:42 <PinkieShy> I mean its not christmas yet but it has been.

05:42 <Thelema5> (was it an oncologist?  These specialists are so complicated)

05:42 <PinkieShy> My mom and brother's argueing has made them not buy each other a christmas gift at all over arguement!

05:42 <PinkieShy> All i wanted for christmas was for family to get along.. :(

05:43 <DashedRainbows> I haven't heard back so probably not cancer

05:43 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, you still have a few days

05:43 <Thelema5> Family never really get along though so yeah

05:43 <PinkieShy> Maybe a miracle will happen and they talk to each other at least.

05:43 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, that's awesome!

05:43 <DashedRainbows> Christmas is just another day

05:43 <Starwatcher> hia DashedRainbows

05:43 <PinkieShy> Christmas is a magical day :P

05:43 * Starwatcher nose-nudges DashedRainbows and hugs them

05:44 <DashedRainbows> Nothing it's anymore

05:44 <Thelema5> Nah, today is the 23rd, then another day until xmas eve... then another day to xmas

05:44 <DashedRainbows> But for real just any day

05:44 * Thelema5 has soooo much to do

05:45 <Thelema5> I have to bottle my apple-mead, I was going to give that to people for christmas

05:45 <Thelema5> It's going to take me like 4 hours tomorrow

05:45 * DashedRainbows does not feel cheerful like at all

05:46 * Thelema5 takes DashedRainbows out to see christmas lights and then home again to watch old campy christmas movies

05:46 <DashedRainbows> That only worked when I was little

05:59 * Cepheid flops in.

06:00 *** Quits: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone) (Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- IRC with a difference)

06:02 * Ali curls up on Cepheid

06:04 <Cepheid> First decent sleep in a few days, that.

06:04 <Cepheid> Also, got my mark back for one of my final exams.  Systems Programming, another exam I didn't study for one bit, 76%.

06:05 * Ali went to find the red serpent in BotW. Finds it, runs up to it but gets distracted by shiny flamesword. Gets attacked by moblins and such, then can't find red serpent anymore.... much cri

06:09 <Cepheid> I'm guaranteed an A- in Systems Programming.

06:09 <Cepheid> And yeah, the dragons show up in multiple places.

06:09 <Cepheid> The only place I've seen Dinraal is up in northern Eldin or North-eastern Akkala.

06:09 <Cepheid> Er, North-Western*

06:09 <RazorSharpFang> Ali, Red Serpent spawns top-right (ish) of the map, in the canyon, but your best position for finding him is right where the leviathon is for the eldin, climbing to get altitude.

06:10 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming probably knows more than me.

06:10 * Ali knows he shows up behind Death Mountain to the north of the map

06:10 <RazorSharpFang> Oh there we go

06:10 <Ali> But he's not there and I need a thing from him.

06:11 <RazorSharpFang> You can light a campfire and wait

06:11 <Cepheid> Last time I wanted him, I just stood around him in that region and waited.

06:11 <Cepheid> Listening for the music to indicate a dragon presence.

06:11 <RazorSharpFang> Just campfire.

06:11 <Ali> I set a camfire till morning

06:11 <Ali> No drago

06:13 <RazorSharpFang> Apparently he spawns at 9AM?

06:16 <Cepheid> The reality is that if you're patient for a game day or two, he will show in that area.

06:16 <Cepheid> He.  She.  It.  Whatever.

06:16 <RazorSharpFang> Okay, but a game day is pretty long.

06:18 * Cepheid shrugs. He's a patient person. Finds other stuff to do while waiting.

06:24 * Cepheid stretches and yawns.

06:24 <Cepheid> Today's gonna be a bad day for the cats.

06:24 <RazorSharpFang> How so?

06:31 <Cepheid> My sister and her husband are arriving today for Christmas, and bringing their hyperactive dog.

06:31 <RazorSharpFang> Oh dear

06:31 <Starwatcher> hmm

06:31 * Ali takes the kitties!

06:31 <Cepheid> Sweet dog, but she has so much energy.  Constantly wagging her tail, trying to befriend everything it can.

06:31 <RazorSharpFang> I'm entering that stage of tiredness where I'm doing that nodding-thing, and occasionally getting some shakes.

06:32 <Cepheid> Tizzy tends to hide downstairs the entire time the dog is around.  Spitfire just picks a perch and stares intently.

06:32 <Cepheid> And takes a swipe on occasion if the dog gets too close.

06:34 <Cepheid> We're watching the dog for two days, to boot, so..

06:37 <Ali> Ok so when red drago flys by you shoot him right Cepheid?

06:37 <Cepheid> Yep.

06:37 <Ali> I...don't see anything dropped

06:37 <Cepheid> You'll see a shining sparkle on the body fly off.

06:37 <RazorSharpFang> Shoot his body for scales, shoot his claws for claw-shards, shoot his horn for horn-shards, shoot his face for face-shards.

06:38 <Cepheid> ^

06:38 <Cepheid> And you have to hit him.  It helps if you do it from above, somehow, since shooting from below carries risk the arrow won't make it.

06:38 <Cepheid> Gravity and all that.

06:38 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, if you're looking for a specific item, don't use a multi-hit bow.

06:38 <RazorSharpFang> Every arrow counts

06:39 <RazorSharpFang> (Also no, you can't get multiple items)

06:40 <Cepheid> I find the best bows to use are the ones that have zooming capability as the shots go further on those.  The other alternative if you don't have one is to make an Ancient Bow.

06:40 <Cepheid> But that's a bit costly.

06:41 <Cepheid> Ancient Bow causes arrows to fly quite straight for a bit, which results in long range arrows.  Great for taking out distant targets or hitting things far away.

06:42 <RazorSharpFang> Hmmmm. Sounds like a great bow to use sparingly.

06:53 <ConfusionRift> Have a good one, DashedRainbows. Rest well. :)

06:54 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift:  Two out of three thus far have been graded.  I passed those two.

06:54 <Cepheid> Bleck.  It feels like 5 AM, even though it's only 2 AM.  I blame it on Rifty's presence, as I normally only see him at 5 AM my time. :P

06:55 <PinkieShy> ConfusionRift my father also works for Walmart :P

06:55 <PinkieShy> My dad stocks the shelves

06:55 <ConfusionRift> Overnight?

06:56 <PinkieShy> He has christmas day and the day after off supposedly

06:56 <PinkieShy> No.

06:56 <PinkieShy> 2pm - 11pm

06:56 <ConfusionRift> Oh.

06:56 <Cepheid> Ow.

06:56 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, yeah, for some reason I'm just ultra-tired right now and it's 3 AM. Blleh

06:57 <ConfusionRift> Well, I stock, do paints, clean up the counters, clean up the isles, remove merch that doesn't belong, restock merch that does, take counts of products, and make sure to follow OBW standards.

06:58 <ConfusionRift> 2pm to 11pm...ish.

06:58 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: You blame the bat, huh. :P

06:59 <Cepheid> :P

07:00 <ConfusionRift> I work in a "beta" store, where they test out new procedures and systems before they get moved to other stores. It suuucks.

07:03 <Cepheid> Cat, there is something wrong with you.

07:04 <Cepheid> He's licking the olive brine from the bowl of olives I just finished.

07:04 <Cepheid> And he's not sure how to react to it.

07:04 <Cepheid> He takes a few licks, then backs off like "Wow, this is-"  Then goes back licking, then backs off again.

07:05 <Tirek> Mornin'.

07:07 <ConfusionRift> G'Morning.

07:09 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: "That's pretty goooAAAAH! I hate it! ...hmm, wonder how it tastes like? Oh my, it's pretty AAAH! The heck is this? Why would anyone... maybe it's not so bad the third try."

07:09 <RazorSharpFang> I now have a cat on me

07:09 <Cepheid> More or less, Rifty.

07:10 <Cepheid> This cat is... weird, to be honest.

07:10 <RazorSharpFang> ConfusionRift, a real scientist would never choose a little bit of discomfort over understanding olive-water.

07:12 <ConfusionRift> true... but this is a cat.

07:12 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid, get this cat a lab coat! It's a scientist!

07:17 <Tirek> So, I think I've finished the bulk of the work on denselang.

07:17 <Tirek> There might be a few missing things, and some things that don't make much sense right now.

07:18 <Tirek> It has an interesting sound and look about it.

07:24 <ConfusionRift> Nice. I mean, hopefully not as... dense as before? Huh. But seems you're getting down to the bigger structure of it.

07:26 * Cepheid is debating going back to bed. Tired. Warm. Can feel heartbeat. Usually these are all signs of the body telling the brain it's time to go to bed.

07:27 * Schism is not sure if he wants to stay awake. But is hungry. "Apple cinnamon oatmeal... might be an option. Or just an apple and peanut butter."

07:33 <Schism> Or I could fry up some potato wedges, leftover chicken and an egg or two.

07:38 <Cepheid> Okay, I need to sleep.  I just fell asleep for a few minutes there.

07:38 * ConfusionRift patpats Cepheid and Schism.

07:38 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that sounds like rest time.

07:38 <Schism> Yeah, microsleep sucks.  o.o

07:40 <Cepheid> Off I go then.  Back later.

07:40 <ConfusionRift> Have a good one.

07:42 <Tirek> Nah, man, I increased density by 48%.

07:43 <Tirek> I translated the first three lines of Genesis into it because its hip to translate the Bible into your conlang.

09:24 <FruitNibbler> I cut my finger worse than I thought I did originally

09:25 <Cepheid> Oh?

09:25 <FruitNibbler> That's a deep cut

09:25 <FruitNibbler> I presumed it went along the skin and just cut a long-ish flap off

09:25 <Cepheid> Eek.

09:30 <FruitNibbler> Good thing it is on my index finger

09:31 <FruitNibbler> (also a bad thing, since I bumped the skin flap twice and made it bleed again)

09:31 <FruitNibbler> I can still play games with it, so life is good

09:31 <FruitNibbler> If I'd cut a middle finger it'd be game over for a week at least

09:31 <FruitNibbler> :P

09:32 <Cepheid> Heh.

09:33 <Cepheid> Yeah, I too got lucky with that deep cut I gave myself on the tip of my index finger last year.  Went in pretty deep, cut through the nail as well.  Permanent scar is left behind.

09:33 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-h897fc.qaqv.r2ue.030a.2602.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

09:34 <FruitNibbler> Judging from how my thumb healed from a router bit (mounted in a dremel) that walked into my finger it should heal pretty well

09:35 <FruitNibbler> Router is worse than a knife slice because it is essentially a mini-blender

09:35 <Cepheid> More or less, yeah.

09:35 <FruitNibbler> And yet my gas healed completely and aside from a killed nerve in that part of a thumb I can't even find a scar

09:35 <Cepheid> Hum... Do I want to run Pillars of Eternity with the various story characters that I can recruit, or do I want a custom team of misfits?

09:36 <FruitNibbler> what? How did my brain derped so hard as to write "gas" instead of a "skin"

09:36 <FruitNibbler> That isn't even close, lol

09:37 <FruitNibbler> To be honest: with each cut or injury like it, I become paranoid about anaerobic bacteria

09:37 <FruitNibbler> That stuff is scary

09:42 <FruitNibbler> Awwww Yisss!

09:43 <FruitNibbler> I now bought a good chunk of my wishlist

09:43 <FruitNibbler> I hope I will get around playing all these games XD

09:48 <Finwe> o3o

09:48 <Finwe> Good forenoon, my smallish perissodactyls.

09:49 <Cepheid> Morning.

09:49 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, AB Cepheid; Mr FruitNibbler.

09:49 <Finwe> o7

09:49 <ConfusionRift> Note to self: even if the mine is not beeping, it's still active.

09:49 <FruitNibbler> Moin moin

09:49 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

09:49 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift:  What game?

09:50 <Finwe> ConfusionRift: Are we speaking of an explosive device or means of extracting ore from the crust of earth?

09:50 <ConfusionRift> Borderlands 2.

09:50 <ConfusionRift> Explosive.

09:50 <Cepheid> Ah, yes.

09:50 <Finwe> Hmm, that explains. I've never heard any mine of the latter kind beep.

09:50 <Cepheid> Assume everything in that game is dangerous and is to be shot with one of the trillions of weapons you could potentially acquire.

09:51 <Cepheid> Finwe:  What if a part on it breaks down, and it tries to alert you to the fact?

09:51 <Finwe> Even in that case it would not be the mine itself that would beep.

09:51 <ConfusionRift> Sigh, pearlescents in the sequel are stupid to get.

09:55 <Schism> ConfusionRift: Oh, that thing from earlier?  That's not the CMC playing a strategy game, per se.  This is the CMC getting their hooves on the materials to actually build those ships and aircraft, with teleporters embedded to ensure they don't get killed when things inevitably explode.

09:55 <ConfusionRift> It was more of a random thought, but that one's more interesting. :P

09:56 <Cepheid> I need to play through Borderlands 2, all the way to the far end of the highest difficulty.

09:56 <Schism> I should perhaps play it again sometime as well.

09:57 <ConfusionRift> Ultimate Vault Hunter mode is ridiculous.

09:58 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift:  Monster Hunter World, Light Bowguns are my weapon of choice now, because they received a huge buff to their design.

09:58 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?

09:59 <Cepheid> You can move and fire at the same time, as well as reload while moving.

09:59 <Schism> <Skynet> I once had a Loop as an insane AI... <Twilight Sparkle> Nooooo. <Skynet> Unthinkable, isn't it?  

10:00 <Cepheid> The counter-side to this though is reduced damage.

10:00 <Cepheid> But good gods, is it ever nice to be able to friggen sidestep or dodge with a gun out instead of Fire->Wait->Roll

10:01 <Finwe> Mr Schism.

10:01 <Cepheid> The methodology if playing is a bit different, though.  No paintballs anymore.  They're replaced with these little bugs that help you out.

10:02 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, the "rover" bugs.

10:02 <Finwe> <me doffs his hat and offers some chicken salad to Schism.

10:02 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

10:02 * Finwe doffs his hat and offers some chicken salad to Schism.

10:02 <Cepheid> The guide you to stuff of interest, such as nearby harvestable/immediate use items, and stuff relating to the monster.  You collect points from monster-specific items.

10:02 * Schism doffs his tea, and offers some fried chicken, eggs, potatoes and cheese to Finwe.

10:02 <Finwe> o3o

10:02 <ConfusionRift> Very useful those things are.

10:02 <Cepheid> Get them up to level 2, the bugs lead you to the monster.

10:03 <Cepheid> And follow it if it runs off.

10:03 <Cepheid> Also, monsters attack each other now.  I was hunting the Barroth in the public beta(More a demo than anything else), and I came across a fish monster.  The two fought one another for a while, before the Barroth ran away.

10:04 <ConfusionRift> I did see that in some of the game demos.

10:04 <Cepheid> Otherwise, the entire region is now open-world.  No zoning.

10:05 <Cepheid> So we lose out and gain, at the same time.

10:05 <Cepheid> We lose out on the ability to leave an area to recover, sharpen, etc.

10:05 <ConfusionRift> I did like that a lot. That everything is now realtime and seamless.

10:05 <ConfusionRift> Oh, we still can, but have to play smarter.

10:05 <Cepheid> But we gain in that we no longer get zoned by crossing some invisible boundary after getting hit, or because a monster "nudged" us across said boundary.

10:06 <Cepheid> Yeah, we can, we're just forced to move away.  I meant that we can't just do instant "leave area" and you're safe.

10:06 *** Joins: uni (uni@Pony-8k4.sjj.166.202.IP)

10:07 <Cepheid> Though, I will say that I am unimpressed with the visuals on the PS4.  No anisotropic filtering, so lots of blurry textures, quite a bit of pop-in, and they use an "animation frameskip" feature in an attempt to get a bit more performance out of the game.  Feels like the game was designed with the PS4 Pro, XBox One X, or medium to high-end PCs in mind.

10:12 <Cepheid> Performance is also a bit more variable than expected.  I mean sure, MH4U, MHX and MH3U had performance issues as well, but at least when they did, the framerate was more or less consistent.  One or two frames below or above the average framerate.  Here, it feels like it goes from 30 FPS to 20 or 40 FPS in the frame of a second or two.  It's a bit jarring.

10:12 <Cepheid> So it's looking like, assuming Capcom does a decent job, the PC version will be the clear winner.

10:12 <Schism> Huge assumption, but fingers are crossed.

10:12 <Cepheid> And if the demo is an example of the future, it's going to be online-only, which may be trouble for Australians.

10:13 <Cepheid> Presumably to keep cheating to a minimum, though.

10:13 <ConfusionRift> And considering Capcom loves to please corporate, I bet they just want to push the higher end consoles like the Pro and X.

10:13 <Cepheid> In this case, it was likely that Sony and Microsoft demanded it.

10:13 <Cepheid> It wouldn't surprise me if they had something to do with the PC release being later, as well, aside from optimization.

10:14 <ConfusionRift> Of course.

10:14 <Cepheid> There's all sorts of weird agreements you have to agree to nowadays when you develop on a platform.

10:14 <Cepheid> On any Sony platform, there has to be Sony-exclusive content.  Microsoft, I'm not sure, as I don't pay much attention to them.  Also, Sony refuses to allow cross-play.

10:15 <Cepheid> So PC and XBox One X will get to play together, but PS4 is confined to it's own environment.

10:15 <Schism> Microsoft Windows and all that jazz.  But yes, Sony does not play well with others.

10:16 <Cepheid> I just hope for Microsoft's sake that they didn't request that the PC version be exclusive to DirectX 12.

10:16 <Cepheid> Otherwise, there is going to be a massive, extreme uproar.

10:17 <ConfusionRift> Bah. I'm more upset that they're ditching the older same models. They're trying so hard to push their "newer" versions, that most likely there will be some performance issues or glitches on the PS4 original/Slim, and XBOX One/S.

10:17 <Cepheid> I actually want to play with DX12, but I can't get Windows 10 to work with my PC.

10:17 <Cepheid> Mmm.  I'm debating discussing a plan with my sister.

10:17 <Cepheid> She wants a console, but can't afford the full price.

10:17 <ConfusionRift> Pawn shop or layaway?

10:18 <Cepheid> Nothing like that, no.

10:18 <Cepheid> My discussion with her is that she give me ~$175 for my PS4, and I take that and put it towards a PS4 Pro.

10:18 <Cepheid> $175 to $200 is still cheaper than the regular PS4.

10:18 <ConfusionRift> That's... okay.

10:19 <Cepheid> The regular PS4 here is $299.  PS4 Pro is $499.

10:19 <Cepheid> You'd think with all the *YAY* going on in the US, that the Canadian dollar would start floating back towards parity, but apparently not.

10:21 * Cepheid gets back to work on some various tools for auto-updating Factorio.

10:21 *** Quits: uni (uni@Pony-8k4.sjj.166.202.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

10:22 <Cepheid> My RCON tool is almost ready.  Just need to set it up to use a configuration file for password information instead of a command line parameter.  Need that security and all that.

10:22 <ConfusionRift> A $200 difference... that is so stupid. It's infuriating, actually.

10:22 <Cepheid> Not as infuriating as it could be.

10:23 <ConfusionRift> Then again, I got the original PS4 about a week before the Pro came out, which gave it a $100 hit a soon as it was released.

10:23 <ConfusionRift> But whatever. I'll just continue to use this "legacy" hardware till it catches fire, just like the PS3.

10:25 <Cepheid> According to the current exchange rate, it should be $725.

10:25 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, checked that $500 PC agin. It was a GTX 1060, not a 1080.

10:25 <ConfusionRift> So $500 is kinda looking steep.

10:26 <Cepheid> Yeah.

10:27 <Cepheid> As for MHWorld, I'm going to wait for the PC release, see if it's garbage or not, and if it isn't, grab the PC release.

10:27 <Cepheid> Otherwise I'll have to go the PS4 route.

10:28 <Cepheid> I'm really hoping that they either have a very good solution for dealing with cheaters/hackers, because that's gonna be a problem on the PC version, or that they implement server-side handling of item pickups, drops, and player saving.

10:28 *** Joins: matttheshadowman (mattthesha@the.shadowy.corners)

10:28 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, will have to check this MHW later on.

10:28 <Cepheid> It's not like picking up items in Monster Hunter requires instant-access to items you pickup off the ground anyways, so they can afford a bit of latency there.

10:33 <Cepheid> Hum, here I was thinking the Factorio server might send back multiple responses to the RCON client when a command such as /save was put in(Since in the server log, it shows "Saving to..." and then "Saving complete" when it finishes), but nope..

10:33 <Cepheid> It just sends a single response.

10:35 *** Joins: Gladlygrey (AndChat3490@Pony-0o6.4m0.4.112.IP)

10:37 <Cepheid> ... Loblaws is being sued for price-fixing, of all things, bread.

10:37 <Gladlygrey> for 14 years

10:37 <Gladlygrey> they seem to be offering gift cards to all buyers of bread, 25 bucks

10:38 <Cepheid> Yeah, that doesn't really pay for all the price fixing.

10:38 <Cepheid> But I just find it silly that of all things they price-fixed, why bread?

10:38 <Gladlygrey> because canadian staples are all pricefixed

10:38 <Cepheid> True.

10:38 * Schism blinks at Cepheid. "Wait, they want."

10:38 <Gladlygrey> people buy a lot of bread, it adds up and nobody suspects it

10:39 <Cepheid> There's lots of unusual price fixing and other weird stuff going on in Canada.  Price markups especially.

10:39 <Cepheid> Anywhere from 0% to 500% markups compared to American prices.

10:39 <Gladlygrey> at least its not like the current ddr4 market

10:39 <Cepheid> Cars are the worst for it.

10:40 <Cepheid> DDR4 looks about on par for what I'd expect, though.

10:40 <Gladlygrey> i run into lots of cases on amazon where small retailers will resell us items for ridic markups

10:40 <Gladlygrey> ddr4 is like 200 bucks for what used to go for 50

10:41 <Gladlygrey> i was able to sell a set of ddr3 for pretty much what i bought it for 1 year ago

10:41 <Cepheid> I see $130 or so per 8GB on most brands of DDR4.  Whereas I'm looking at DDR3, and I'm seeing ~$100 per 8GB.

10:41 <Gladlygrey> it used to be like 30?

10:42 <Cepheid> Never seen 8GB go below $90.

10:42 <Gladlygrey> i got my 16gb for 90

10:42 <Cepheid> $200 here.  That's about the normal price for here.

10:42 <Cepheid> Then again, the store I'm looking at is like, pretty much a monopoly here.

10:42 <Gladlygrey> newegg or amazon?

10:43 <Gladlygrey> gskill is a pretty good budget brand

10:43 <Cepheid> Canada Computers, not Newegg or Amazon.

10:43 <Gladlygrey> eww

10:43 <Gladlygrey> i have a memory express near, they price match online stores

10:43 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm seeing gskill on newegg for $50 to $100 for 8GB(2x4GB).

10:44 <Gladlygrey> even best buy does, but they dont carry much component wise

10:44 <Cepheid> Yeah, they're about the only other retailer here, Best Buy.

10:44 <Cepheid> Otherwise, it's just Canada Computers.  They're reliable, but problematic.

10:44 <Gladlygrey> maybe canada computers has a price match?

10:45 <Schism> Hahahaha.

10:45 <Gladlygrey> point is demand for ddr4 is as high as its ever been but all the memory manufacturers say they’re slowing down in anticipation of ddr5

10:45 <Cepheid> Canada Computers does have a price match.

10:45 <Schism> Hum, there's Best Buy in many a place, so Canada Computers doesn't have _quite_ a monopoly... and oh?

10:45 <Gladlygrey> there ya go

10:47 * Cepheid takes a look at processor prices on newegg and amazon compared to CC.

10:47 <Gladlygrey> if you’re lucky and in the us, microcentre is apparently golden. they often have sales better than online prices

10:47 <Cepheid> I'm in Canada.

10:47 * Schism is also in Canada.

10:48 <Cepheid> As made obvious by the fact that the store I go to is called CANADA Computers.

10:49 <Cepheid> Interestingly, Newegg is more expensive for the CPUs I'm comparing at the moment.

10:49 <Gladlygrey> which cpus?

10:50 <Cepheid> AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X 8/16 core/threads is $735 on Canada Computers.  $799 on Newegg.

10:50 <Cepheid> I'm not building anything just yet.  I'm just comparing prices and looking.

10:50 <Cepheid> I'm broke as *YAY*.  And all I'll get from OSAP for spending this semester is $530.

10:50 <Gladlygrey> threadripper? the 8 core one? you must really need the pci lanes

10:51 <Cepheid> I'm not building or designing yet.

10:51 <Cepheid> I'm just looking at the prices.

10:51 <Gladlygrey> ah

10:51 <Gladlygrey> hedt is kinda out there for broke as yay though :p

10:52 <Cepheid> In any case, I won't have the money until May or June at the earliest.

10:52 <Cepheid> By then, there will likely be a bunch of new, cheap components to use that are better than what's available now, even in video cards.

10:52 <Gladlygrey> idunno, flash deals do pop up

10:53 <Gladlygrey> i managed to snag a 300 dollar rx580 in october, deal was gone in a flash

10:54 <Cepheid> Not too bad.

10:54 <Gladlygrey> eth and co went way up though so i dont know how graphics card prices are gonna look

10:54 <Gladlygrey> poor amd came out with a card they’re struggling to supply already and it turns out its golden for monero

10:55 <Cepheid> In any case, the bigger issue is not the video card.  I'd like to update it, yes, but I also need to replace the CPU, motherboard and RAM.

10:55 <Cepheid> They're getting up there in age.  7 years since I bought those parts.

10:55 <Gladlygrey> ram is gonna be the priciest part of your kit

10:55 <Gladlygrey> if it keeps goin the way its going

10:56 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I don't really care much for cryptocurrency.  Sure, it's doing well now but I have a bad feeling about it all.

10:56 <Cepheid> And not in a "It's gonna crash" way.

10:56 <Gladlygrey> for now its sure making video cards hard to find for reasonable prices

11:00 <Cepheid> As a developer, I'm less interested in the cards, and more interested in what comes out of the driver development teams of AMD and nVidia, and currently, AMD seems to be nothing but a flood of bad news with bits of good news here and there.

11:01 <Cepheid> Nothing like hearing that a common feature on cards is broken in the latest driver updates.

11:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #1076 [ http://tinyurl.com/yaz3grja ]

11:04 <Gladlygrey> amd definately also has bad drivers

11:05 <Gladlygrey> nvidia is much more focused on their drivers

11:05 <Gladlygrey> amd tends to focus on novel tech and tricks and open source, and it gives them lots of headaches

11:06 <Gladlygrey> they also lost radeon’s chief architect

11:06 <Cepheid> Yeah.

11:06 <Cepheid> AMD is trying to do open source, but a lot of it is a headache either because it doesn't follow the Linux community standards, or their lawyers get in the way.

11:06 <Cepheid> And the drivers are... yeah.  I don't even want to get into that morass.

11:07 <Gladlygrey> amd was a failing company for a while till zen came out

11:08 <Gladlygrey> they sold their foundry and mobile tech(qualcomm) to stay afloat

11:09 <Gladlygrey> radeon’s poor software division was probably on scraps

11:10 <Cepheid> More or less.

11:11 * Cepheid stretches and yawns.

11:11 <Cepheid> I feel great today now that I've had a coffee.  Got that weird joint pain that feels "good", as if a lot of tension or pressure had been taken off of my body.

11:12 <Cepheid> I wonder if I was getting stressed or tense about exams.

11:12 <Gladlygrey> their new generation of cards are overclocked out of the gate and preform less than the competition because key features are borked and dont ave driver support yet

11:12 <Gladlygrey> exams can definately affect you physically

11:13 <Cepheid> Ironically, AMD's cards and CPUs do perform better than nVidia in certain situations.

11:13 <Cepheid> But those situations are much less commonplace in gaming.

11:13 <Gladlygrey> their cpus do :)

11:13 <Gladlygrey> nvidia’s volta is lookin impressive so far though

11:14 * Cepheid does a bit of math to check something out.

11:14 <Gladlygrey> amd cards usually have more raw power but worse user experience, but volta isnt so

11:14 <Cepheid> And yeah, I saw that.  Though gaming-wise, it's hard to compare Volta right now.  Isn't the only card out there that $3,000 workstation card?

11:15 <Gladlygrey> yeah, with the expensive hbm2

11:15 <Cepheid> Thing's just a glorified compute processor at the moment.  It's not been optimized for 3D rendering paths, yet.  It performs about as well as a GTX 1070/1080.

11:15 <Gladlygrey> consumer versions will come out later with gddr6

11:17 <Gladlygrey> nvidia’s not like intel, waitig nicely for 3 years for amd to catch up

11:17 <Gladlygrey> poor intel 10nm

11:18 <Cepheid> Right now I think the biggest issue Intel now has is that they are associated with wanting to repeal net neutrality in the US, or so reports say.

11:19 <Gladlygrey> they are?

11:19 <Gladlygrey> that doesnt seem like intel’s playground

11:20 <Cepheid> Like I said, I just heard via word of mouth on the reports.

11:20 <Gladlygrey> its funny, once ryzen came out intel started spewing new products

11:20 <Cepheid> It appears they have, indeed argued against it.

11:20 <Gladlygrey> nvidia so farisnt worried

11:20 <Cepheid> A cursory google search brings up articles.

11:21 <Gladlygrey> huh. well what kind.of backlash is intel realistically going to face

11:21 <Gladlygrey> well its easier to boycott whatsapp than say, sk hynix

11:21 <Cepheid> A bunch of consumers just protesting them by not buying their products, which amounts to a realistic impact of zilch.

11:22 <Gladlygrey> “what? check the serial code? whats that? you can open a computer?”

11:35 <FruitNibbler> Cepheid, corporations are not worried that a few people are not buying, they are worried that it may become trending

11:36 <Gladlygrey> but seriously, people would be hard pressed to affect intel

11:39 <FruitNibbler> Doesn't mean they can't

11:40 <FruitNibbler> Trend may blow up, stocks will drop and the stock holders will sell the stocks on the fall exaggerating it

11:40 <FruitNibbler> You can never know where a self-sustaining downward trend will hit

11:42 <Gladlygrey> will be a very tidy rebound for people who buy the dip though

11:45 * Schism plays Shenzhen I/O. It's a game about solitaire! And there's a bit of a coding game in there too.

11:54 <FruitNibbler> The value jumps so rapidly the tracker can't keep up

11:56 <FruitNibbler> "what, you need 1 bitcoin? What do you need $16327 for, do you even know how much money $15345 is? After all, you better have a good reason to  ask for $17987."

11:57 <FruitNibbler> Silly thing that this joke reflects an /actual/ real time fluctuation of bitcoin

18:41 <Pony|7913> that's why there was a reference to stars aiding in her escape

18:41 <Pony|7913> also luna has dream powers

18:42 <Pony|7913> originally twilight was supposed to have nightmares about nightmare moons return but they cut it out

19:45 <Schism> Seemed a bit too crazy, yeah.

19:46 <Cepheid> Instead, I shall play a game you are very familiar with, Schism.

19:46 <Cepheid> Just need to install it first.

19:47 <Schism> Does it involve bread?

19:47 <Cepheid> ... How on-

19:48 <Schism> Hmm?

19:48 <Cepheid> How'd you guess that? :P

19:48 <Schism> You're going from one rage game to another, there's a limited selection, et cetera.

19:49 <Cepheid> Except amazingly I'm semi-decent at I am Bread.

19:49 <Princess-Luna> Should try Getting over it. :P

19:49 <Cepheid> No.

19:49 <Cepheid> I've seen that game.  No.

19:49 <Princess-Luna> lol

19:49 <Cepheid> The only way you'll get me to play it is if you buy it for me.

19:50 <Princess-Luna> Or find a ripped copy

19:50 <Princess-Luna> one of the two

19:50 <CleverDerpy> derp?

19:51 <Cepheid> https://www.twitch.tv/cepheidvar Now the many adventures of bread.

19:51 * DashedRainbows licks CleverDerpy and wags her tail

19:51 * CleverDerpy sits and derps

19:51 <CleverDerpy> heehee~

19:51 * CleverDerpy patpats the DashedRainbows

19:51 <CleverDerpy> cutie~

19:51 * DashedRainbows barks

19:52 * PinkieShy builds a statue of DashedRainbows in ponyville

19:52 * CleverDerpy gives DashedRainbows a chewy bone buiscut

19:52 <CleverDerpy> merry hearth's warming~

19:53 <DashedRainbows> You too

19:54 <Fn> I have witnessed an amazing thing just now

19:55 <Fn> A Mercedes ML SUV accelerated like mad in a looong corner and then had to brake because a few cars ahead sstopped for the red light

19:56 <CleverDerpy> derp... sounds scary!

19:56 <Fn> Imagine a 2 ton SUV screeching, swerving, almost spinning, from what seemed like racing speed, and then comming to a halt and literally just touching number plates with a car in front

19:57 <Fn> Owners left cars inspected the bumpers/number plates and drove away without any claims of police!

19:57 <Fn> I could clearly hear that they touched, but it didn't even bend the plastic bumpers of either cars, just these extended frames that hold numbers made contact

19:57 <Cepheid> Nope.  GOnna do something less rage-inducing.

19:58 <Fn> Cepheid, what game?

19:58 <Schism> Perhaps a good plan.  I might start a game of I Am Bread myself, tho.

19:58 <Cepheid> I was doing I Am Bread.

19:58 <Fn> Ooooh that is one infuriating game

19:58 <Fn> I'd rather suggest something like clustertruck instead

19:58 <Fn> You can chill there

19:59 <Fn> Schism, how far did you got in QWOP?

19:59 <roflin> maybe you just need to "get over it"

19:59 <Cepheid> I was thinking Borderlands, actually.

19:59 <roflin> with Bennet Foddy

20:00 <roflin> in case you wan't a reason to buy a new mouse.

20:01 <Cepheid> I am familiar with that game.  I refuse to play it unless someone forces my hand somehow.

20:02 <Cepheid> Hmm.

20:02 <Cepheid> Yeah.  Borderlands 2.  I'll even make it an open game so others can join if they so desire. :P

20:03 <Cepheid> Alternatively I play Shenzen I/O while drinking.

20:04 <Night_Blitz> Boozen I/O

20:04 <Night_Blitz> Boozlands 2

20:06 <Cepheid> Point is, I'm drinking. :P

20:07 <Schism> And I'm sleep-deprived.  Hhe.

20:07 <Schism> Heh.*

20:07 <Cepheid> Need to grab Borderlands 2 first, though.  Anyone on my steam friends list is free to join me.  I'll be starting from the beginning.

20:08 <Schism> I can certainly join ya.

20:08 <Schism> I'mma poking at one or two more games of solitaire, tho.

20:08 <Cepheid> I've gotta grab the game.

20:08 <Cepheid> It's gonna take me about 10 minutes.

20:10 <Cepheid> Ye know, The Heavy has... a good sound.  Lead singer really contributes to the sound.

20:13 <Cepheid> I wonder what Borderlands 3 will be like.

20:14 * Schism verifies Borderlands 2 game files.

20:14 <Cepheid> Hmm?

20:14 <Schism> Just making sure it's properly installed.

20:15 <Cepheid> Ah.

20:15 <Schism> Also gonna make coffee.

20:15 <Cepheid> What will you play as?

20:15 <Schism> I have NO idea.

20:16 <PinkieShy> Well since chrome is hijacked still.. :/

20:16 <PinkieShy> me and firefox are back together :P

20:16 <PinkieShy> Its so fast like no waiting but the animations in the browser are weird xD which makes me know i could turn them off easily make the browser probably use less memory by doing it

20:17 <Schism> PinkieShy: Make sure that your shortcuts for Chrome are pointing to the right place, amongst other things.

20:17 <PinkieShy> They are Schism the virus last night i found out what it editted..

20:17 <Schism> And if you add '-incognito' at the end of the shortcut for Chrome, you can launch it in safe mode, which can be used for repairing it.

20:17 <PinkieShy> It made edits to chrome program files not the shortcut..

20:18 <Cepheid> THat's... generally what a virus does, yes.

20:18 <PinkieShy> like tabmain has links to the virus in it gone crazy and some tool i ran last night looks like it was trying ot draw my attention to a chrome permission change in registry

20:18 <PinkieShy> which would explain why i can't change the default search engine in chrome now..

20:19 <PinkieShy> If i open chrome bitdefender blocks alot of stuff from loading..

20:23 <Cepheid> BRB.  Need more booze.

20:23 <Schism> I might just do Commando.

22:43 <ADragonDreaming> Have you found Hestu, Ali?

22:43 <Ali> Who now?

22:44 <Ali> I have 2/4 beasts and 40 shrines

22:44 <Finwe> Sounds like spam.

22:44 <ADragonDreaming> Coo

22:44 <Finwe> "Enlarge your bags."

22:44 <ADragonDreaming> Find him some more.

22:45 <Ali> I'm mainly wondering where the Master Sword is.  Nothing so far points you to it.

22:45 <Finwe> Go loot the Hyrule Castrle.

22:45 <ADragonDreaming> Remember where it was in Link to the Past?

22:46 <Ali> Uh no, I never really played Link to the Past

22:46 <Ali> That and I'm not sure if I have enough Hearts

22:46 <ADragonDreaming> hmm...

22:46 <ADragonDreaming> how many do you have?

22:47 <Ali> 2 boss hearts, 9 from orbs

22:47 <ADragonDreaming> so, 11 added, for a total of 14?

22:47 <ADragonDreaming> in which case you're fine.

22:48 * Ali is guessing the Lost Woods for the sword.

22:48 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.

22:49 * Ali doesn't have her Switch nearby right now. She think she's making decent progress?

22:51 <ADragonDreaming> you have 2/4 beasts and 40/120 shrines.

22:51 <ADragonDreaming> You're fine.

22:51 <Finwe> Give the ocarina to the monkey to make it follow you, then travel to the Azores to receive the Master Sword.

22:51 <ADragonDreaming> How many memories?

22:51 <Ali> 7 left to find

22:52 <Finwe> Ali: Ah, this is a 100% speedrun?

22:52 <Ali> Pft no, I've been slowplaying like heck.

22:52 <ADragonDreaming> ...there are 900 korok seeds to find

22:52 <Ali> NINE HUNDRED?!?

22:52 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.

22:52 <ADragonDreaming> Don't worry

22:53 <ADragonDreaming> you don't need that many.

22:53 <Finwe> Read the inscription on your mother's gravestone to get a clue on how to leave the island.

22:53 <ADragonDreaming> What game are you on about now

22:53 <Ali> Press B to pay respects

22:53 <Ali> Or whatever the letter joke is

22:53 <ADragonDreaming> It's interchangeable.

22:54 <Finwe> Use Force Jump to make a shortcut in Chapter 2.

22:54 <ADragonDreaming> Mostly X but that might also be the PlayStation "cross"

22:55 <Finwe> Ali: And once you have Lord Chaos trapped in a fluxcage, use fuse on him to finish the game.

23:17 <Cepheid> So that leaves us with...

23:17 <Cepheid> 20 keys.

23:17 <Schism> I have... 86 golden keys, yeah.

23:17 <Cepheid> Geezs.

23:17 <Cepheid> Wow.

23:17 <Cepheid> You never spent them, have you?

23:18 <Schism> Not really, no.

23:18 <Cepheid> You should.

23:18 <Cepheid> You can get some good stuff from that box.

23:18 <Cepheid> That's all the keys are useful for.  That one box.

23:18 <Schism> No kidding.  But it's level-locked.

23:18 <Cepheid> It's essentially a loot box, but it has NO DOWNSIDES.

23:18 <Cepheid> And the keys are given out for free.

23:18 <Schism> So I'm not going to be throwing a ton of stuff at it at a low level.  :P

23:18 <Cepheid> And there is that, yeah.  Level locking.

23:18 <Cepheid> So hold onto 'em I guess.

23:18 <Cepheid> I can spend mine.  You save yours.

23:19 <Schism> I might throw a couple keys at it every 5 levels or so.

23:19 <Schism> Having MORE INVENTORY SLOTS would also be great, beforehand.

23:19 <Cepheid> Eridium.

23:19 <Cepheid> You can spend it for items.

23:19 <Cepheid> and slots.

23:19 <Cepheid> Since we reached Sanctuary, we'll start seeing it now.

23:19 <Schism> I did get one from a random box.

23:20 <Cepheid> Once we hit the final boss, we can also farm the *YAY* for eridium, as it drops some along with random weapons up to and including legendaries.

23:20 <Schism> Nice; alrighty, then.

23:20 * Cepheid sings along to Cage the Elephant - Ain't No Rest for the Wicked, despite the fact that his parents are at home and downstairs.

23:21 <Cepheid> Funny note.  Music sounds... "better" while I'm drunk. >.>

23:23 <Cepheid> I don't think I'm a typical alcoholic.  I enjoy drinking at home, because there are... things around me that it improves, even if it leaves me hung over the next day. >_>

23:23 * Cepheid has FFXIV - Locus playing.

23:23 <Cepheid> That reminds me, I should reinstall FFXIV.

23:25 <Schism> Lessee... think I'm going to take a shower.  Be back in a few.

23:26 <Cepheid> I'm gonna go stream some Shenzhen I/O while drunk, until I sober up or something.  Might not  be a good idea to listen to it, though.  Plan to blare music that inspires/pushes me.
