00:00 <Cepheid> Huh. That's an interesting way to kill the ghosts. Poison them. The damage that occurs at the end of the turn is enough to kill them outright, and I suffer no damage for it.

00:15 <Cepheid> "No one knows who thought of zombifying squirrels. They still like scaring people from above."
00:20 <Cepheid> I blame Schism.
00:20 <Cepheid> Only he would do something so ridiculous.
00:26 * Schism blinks.
00:27 <Schism> That's, well. That might be something I'd do. Except no, I'd zombify chipmunks.
00:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
00:28 <Cepheid> I should probably consider upgrading everyone's gear soon. Hit floor 14. One more until the boss, and that one was... interesting.
00:29 * Cepheid looks at the requirement for the Mirage Fist weapon. "..."
00:29 <Cepheid> Nope.
00:33 <Schism> Um?
00:34 <Cepheid> Involves killing a FOE that can kill the entire party in one hit if I'm unlucky.
00:34 <Cepheid> Killing one took three tries.
00:36 <Cepheid> And that is going on Schism and NEVER COMING OFF. +30 Luck, +50 TP.
00:39 *** Ali changes topic to 'Welcome to #EquestriaDaily! This channel is rated All Ages | Guide and rules: http://derpy.me/EqDRules | S8 episode 7 is open for Discussion| Do not discuss season 8 spoilers until airdates!'
00:39 <Schism> Cepheid: Ooh.
00:40 <Cepheid> Actually I threw it on Razor for a bit to boost his leg binding. Now I can fight the FOEs with a reasonable chance of success.
00:41 * Schism takes a break from the game. Instead, makes cookies. Oatmeal raisin!
00:42 <Cepheid> The issue with these enemies is that they do a two-part attack. The first reduces everyone's fire resist considerably. The second is a fire attack that does over 700 damage to the entire party. You have to hit the enemy to prevent the second part, but it increases it's evasion when it does the first part by a lot. Binding the legs makes it easy to hit.

00:56 <Cepheid> Basically. Atlus... thought about this a tad, it seems.
00:57 <Cepheid> The show-secret-passages thing was implemented back in... EO4, I think? In that case, every secret passage was visible by a specific trait.
00:57 <Cepheid> It was brought over to EOU and EOU2. Though in both cases it was slightly redundant except for hiding items.

01:31 <Thelema5> uni, yeah- totally different thing, although they both act as a levening agent. Backing soda is sodium bicarbonate, which releases CO2 when it reacts with an acid. Baking powder is a mix of reactive agents which will release CO2 when it contacts various substances at various times throughout the process
01:31 <Schism> uni: Baking powder is like baking soda, but contains a bit of acid as well, which causes it to release bubbles.

01:32 <Cepheid> Schism: Fun FOE. If you attack it's weakness(fire), it counters immediately with a Curse status effect on the whole party. Next turn, it uses an attack that, if it hits any cursed party members, instantly kills them. To get the conditional drop, guess what I have to do?
01:32 <Schism> Literally, mix some baking soda with a little cream of tartar, and you have baking powder.
01:33 <Schism> Well, 1 unit baking soda for 2 units cream of tartar.
01:34 <PinkieShy> Schism is Intel i7 one of the best to get for Gaming?
01:34 <Schism> It... really depends. It's certainly not going to be a problem; generally there are bottlenecks elsewhere.
01:34 <Schism> I've used AMDs for years.
01:36 <PinkieShy> I want something to handle VR Games :)

01:38 <Cepheid> Apparently an original, boxed-copy, not-aftermarket/ebay/grey-market copy of Sonic 2 for the Game Gear was sold at some point during Q1 2018.

01:41 <Schism> Interesting. The Game Gear, at that, not the Genesis? I'd ballpark that at... $500?
01:41 <Cepheid> Yeah, Game Gear. NDP shows one sale for the game in Q1 2018.
01:41 <Cepheid> People are baffled.
01:42 * Ali rolls around
01:42 <Cepheid> Hum, let's try that FOE again. I know how it works now, annoyingly.
01:45 <Saerydoth> The Game Gear was basically a portable Master System. Same hardware...they can actually run each other's games with an adapter (since the cartridges are the same size)
01:46 <Saerydoth> and the Master System itself was basically an upgraded Colecovision...same architecture, but more memory, better graphics/sound chips, and faster CPU
01:48 <Schism> "I... I don't think I can let this go." --Mat Piscatella, on his search for the mysterious person who purchased that game.
01:49 <Saerydoth> Sonic and Sonic 2 for the Game gear were not the same game as the Genesis
01:49 <Schism> They definitely were not.
01:49 <Saerydoth> they were completely different games, much slower
01:49 <Cepheid> Yeah.
01:49 <Ali> And more 8 bit
01:49 * Ali has the rare Sega Nomad
01:49 * Schism runs Blue Sphere.
01:49 * Saerydoth used to have one years ago
01:49 <Cepheid> Man, I remember having a Game Gear. It just up and disappeared on me. I suspect my parents spontaneously sold it without telling me.
01:49 <Saerydoth> I got it for $10 on clearance
01:50 <Saerydoth> I eventually sold it (for more than I paid for it)
01:50 <Saerydoth> since it's basically useless today
01:50 <Saerydoth> if you really want to play Genesis games on the go there are much better ways to do that (even a phone is better). The screen on the Nomad is so bad it might as well not have one
01:51 <Ali> It was not bad!
01:51 <Ali> It just ate AA's like a demon
01:52 <Schism> Ah yes, the Game Gear's well-known battery life. Unless you had some VERY good rechargeable batteries, well.
01:52 <Ali> Schism, I'm talking about the Nomad
01:52 <Saerydoth> it went through 6 AA's in about 30 minutes
01:52 <Schism> Oh, that too then. XD
01:52 <Saerydoth> The problem with it is the old passive matrix LCD, that looks so bad you can't really even use it
01:52 <Saerydoth> any motion at all makes the entire screen go to a blurry mess to the point where you can't see anything
01:53 <Saerydoth> the only game I was ever able to actually play on it was Shining Force
01:53 <Saerydoth> since it was turn based, so the screen being a blurry mess wasn't such an issue
01:53 * Saerydoth supposes today though, you could mod it with a better screen to fix that issue
01:54 * Cepheid manages to kill a dullahan and get it's rare drop. Worth the effort, as it has a considerable armour upgrade.
01:55 <Saerydoth> that name sounds familiar
01:56 <Cepheid> Headless horseman/suit of armour. More commonly a suit of armour.
01:56 <Saerydoth> It's a pretty common word but I know I've seen it in a game before

02:51 <Cepheid> At least, I suspect a superboss is hiding behind it. I can see a FOE nearby based on the indicator, but it isn't showing up on the map. This implies the ICOM for it is hidden by a flag.

02:52 <Cepheid> The hell, autocorrect?
02:58 <Cepheid> Knowing my luck the key is in the fourth stratum. 19th floor probably.

11:35 <FruitNibbler> I am growing tired of rich people in this game
11:36 <FruitNibbler> Game has limited storage space for parts you assemble your vehicle from
11:37 <FruitNibbler> And you can put up to 20 of them for sale at an unaffordable price to have temporary 20 storage space while you craft parts for another build
11:37 <FruitNibbler> (you need lesser parts to build better ones, so temporarily you run out of space)
11:38 <FruitNibbler> And someone just bought almost all my stuff at a ridiculously high margin
11:38 <FruitNibbler> Now I have to craft it all again!
11:38 <Schism> Furrfu. o.o
11:39 <FruitNibbler> Sometimes there are just too many people that have too much munies
11:43 <FruitNibbler> Dang. 10 items for 300 ingame currency = 3000
11:43 <FruitNibbler> Didn't pay a dime for those itms, grinded it all ingame
11:43 <Schism> Well, at least you made a significant profit in the end run?
11:43 <FruitNibbler> Mind you that 3000 buys me the best gun
11:44 <FruitNibbler> Yeah, I can buy back these items at 240
11:44 <Schism> Sounds like win/win to me.
11:44 <FruitNibbler> The market price dropped back
11:44 * Schism has a habit, in FFXIV, of taking advantage of the sloth of the wealthy.
11:44 <FruitNibbler> It's a win, but a loss of time
11:45 <Schism> FN: So, dig it, there's a class of crafting material which is sold by NPC vendors, but they're out of the way. What do you think the market's profit margins are?
11:48 *** Joins: uni (uni@Pony-glp7pv.q3uf.eqmb.e800.2404.IP)
11:49 <FruitNibbler> The game is about making cars out of scrap and fighting for ressources to craft better wheels, modules and guns
11:49 <FruitNibbler> But some play it as a market sim, since you can play it as a trading sim too
11:50 <Schism> Gotta love those economies.
11:52 <FruitNibbler> They are predictable
11:53 <FruitNibbler> Whenever racing is on, you get rocket boosters up in price

13:10 <Unixkitty> https://unixkitty.com/logs/EquestriaDaily/latest.log.html
13:14 <Cepheid> Hmm.
13:14 <Cepheid> There's a weapon that might make Schism a bit more... Effective in combat.
13:15 <Cepheid> Phantom Arch, bow. +62 ATK, +70 MATK(!? That's the same as the strongest staff I can buy.), and provides a skill called Hellfire.
13:29 <Cepheid> Apparently it is the skill that those ghosts use against me that causes excrutiating pain.
13:49 <Cepheid> "Although it's buds and skin are both toxic, it's roots are vaguely humanoid in shape, it may come in handy on your adventures." ... I'm not sure I want to eat this mandrapotato.

14:38 <Adviceplease> Hey
14:39 <ADragonDreaming> Always check your gas gauge before you leave for the day.
14:39 <Adviceplease> Was wondering if someone could help me please
14:40 <RazorSharpFang> ADragonDreaming, why is that?
14:40 * ADragonDreaming points to Adviceplease
14:40 <ADragonDreaming> was responding to the name
14:40 <RazorSharpFang> Okay, but why would one check their gas gauge before they leave for the day?
14:40 <ADragonDreaming> Adviceplease: the ability to help depends on what kind of help is needed
14:40 <Adviceplease> I’m trying to connect with my stepson
14:40 <Adviceplease> he likes mlp
14:40 <ADragonDreaming> So as not to run out of gas halfway, obvs
14:41 <RazorSharpFang> Why would checking your gas meter of your house do?
14:41 <ADragonDreaming> car, Razor.
14:41 <ADragonDreaming> Car.
14:41 <ADragonDreaming> Not house.
14:41 <Adviceplease> ive dine a little research on the Internet & I’ve come across bronies
14:41 <RazorSharpFang> Neither petrol nor diesel is gas.
14:41 <ADragonDreaming> Gasoline, broheim.
14:42 <RazorSharpFang> You Americans are weird.
14:42 <Adviceplease> From what I have seen, I have a little concern, but I’m willing to work with it
14:42 <ADragonDreaming> So is your nationality, wherever you are from
14:42 <ADragonDreaming> what is the concern?
14:42 <RazorSharpFang> Australia, I haven't heard anyone call petrol gas.
14:42 <ADragonDreaming> That's because you are in Australia and you call it petrol.
14:42 <Cepheid> ^
14:42 <Cepheid> In Canada and the US, it's called "gas".
14:42 <Adviceplease> Well, is it just a kink thing or is there more?
14:42 <Cepheid> ...
14:42 <RazorSharpFang> Okay, but online too.
14:43 <ADragonDreaming> ahahaha
14:43 * Cepheid sighs and face palms.
14:43 <ADragonDreaming> Adviceplease: a small portion of the group is not representative of the whole.
14:43 <ADragonDreaming> The short answer to your question is "there is more."
14:43 <RazorSharpFang> The overwealmingly vast majority of the fans like only safe-for-work stuff.
14:43 <Adviceplease> I get that, but every site I’ve gone to has said you guys are all about that, and I just want one of you guys’ opinion
14:44 <Adviceplease> how can I reach him
14:44 <ADragonDreaming> Just watch the show.
14:44 <Adviceplease> any particular point where to start?
14:44 <ADragonDreaming> Episode 1.
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> Mind you, a single show is just a starting point. Watching the show IS the starting point.
14:44 <Adviceplease> Like is it in seasons?
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> Ask them what else they like.
14:44 <ADragonDreaming> Yep!
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> Season 1 Episode 1. Then watch the rest of season 1.
14:45 <ADragonDreaming> The general format changes a bit from season to season, but generally speaking the season opening and ending are the big plot-heavy episodes
14:45 <ADragonDreaming> with the rest of the episodes being mostly self-contained.
14:45 <Adviceplease> Now, and this may sound a little dumb, but like are there straight people who like mlp?
14:45 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.
14:45 <Adviceplease> My step son is gay & im cool with that
14:46 <ADragonDreaming> Cool
14:46 *** Joins: The_Nostalgia_Mare (Nossy@Pony-o73sar.fl.comcast.net)
14:46 <Adviceplease> But like, it’s not a homosexual heavy show right?
14:46 <RazorSharpFang> I think statistically? People of minority sexualities are over-represented in the MLP community, but not by that much. It's barely statistically significant.
14:46 <ADragonDreaming> The show is for children.
14:47 <Adviceplease> Yes, but with homosexual undertones & subtext
14:47 <ADragonDreaming> Nope.
14:47 <RazorSharpFang> So, the stats don't disprove that assertion, but they're not strong enough to prove that assertion either.
14:47 <ADragonDreaming> Romance and sexuality is not really a major topic in the show, since it is for children
14:47 <ADragonDreaming> people read things into it, but that's their personal interpretations
14:47 <Adviceplease> he is 14 & on that point where I don’t want him to loose his innocence, but it will happen soon anyway
14:47 * The_Nostalgia_Mare lazies on ADragonDreaming. "I finally cleaned the inside of my car. Time to lazy." _3_
14:47 <RazorSharpFang> The show is very innocent.
14:48 <Adviceplease> :)
14:48 <ADragonDreaming> Seriously, just go watch it.
14:48 <RazorSharpFang> It's innocent and wholesome. You can watch it and see for yourself.
14:48 <Adviceplease> he hates me at the moment because I’m trying, I really am
14:48 <ADragonDreaming> Remember that the target demographic for the show is girls aged, like... 8.
14:48 <RazorSharpFang> It wouldn't be able to be on children's networks if it wasn't innocent.
14:48 <Adviceplease> plus his mum is pregnant so he hates me for that too
14:48 * Cepheid goes to watch Overlord and do exercise.
14:49 <RazorSharpFang> What complicated lives we live, eh?
14:49 <RazorSharpFang> I hope things work out best for you.
14:49 <ADragonDreaming> It's just done interestingly and with messages of friendship etc., enough to get a large, well-publicized following outside it's demographic
14:49 <Adviceplease> How old are you all if you do t mind my asking?
14:49 <RazorSharpFang> 24 for me. I'm finishing my college degree.
14:49 <ADragonDreaming> ...dammit, now I have to count
14:49 <Cepheid> Going on 32 in a month, working on a bachelor's degree.
14:50 <Cepheid> Anyways, back in 30-40 minutes.
14:50 <The_Nostalgia_Mare> I'm 19.
14:50 <Adviceplease> :)
14:50 <Adviceplease> you all seem level headed & that’s good
14:50 <ADragonDreaming> 1986 to 2000 is 14, to 2010 is 24, to 2018 would be ... I'm 31.
14:50 <Adviceplease> nothing like the media portrays you
14:50 <The_Nostalgia_Mare> Currently in need of a Job since got skills of a Pharmacy Tech.
14:51 <ADragonDreaming> Of course not - the media can only ever portray a small subset, and will trend towards the sensationalist
14:51 <RazorSharpFang> In the online sphere, the fanbase is mostly male. But it's not self-evident whether that's due to the online presence over-representation of males anyway.
14:51 <Cepheid> Adviceplease: The media, plus numerous entities that have it out for fandoms of varying shows.
14:51 <Adviceplease> I’m proud he is a brony
14:51 <ADragonDreaming> This particular IRC channel, for example, is rated All Ages
14:51 <Adviceplease> is that the right word?
14:51 <RazorSharpFang> Yes, that seems correct.
14:51 <ADragonDreaming> Yep, though honestly it's more about whether he calls himself one than anything
14:52 <ADragonDreaming> The thing to remember about "being a brony" is that all it requires is liking the show.
14:52 <Adviceplease> He has a big friendship is magic poster in his room & a plushie of spike
14:52 <Adviceplease> I think he counts lol
14:52 <ADragonDreaming> Probably, but I'm big on self-ownership of labels.
14:52 <RazorSharpFang> Spike is best-pony.
14:53 <Adviceplease> Is spike a pony or dragon?
14:53 <ADragonDreaming> Dragon.
14:53 <RazorSharpFang> He's a dragon. That's the joke. :P
14:53 <Adviceplease> I’m very new & gotta watch the show
14:53 <The_Nostalgia_Mare> Go do it.
14:53 <RazorSharpFang> Best of luck in your endeavours and in your relationships.
14:53 <Adviceplease> Thankyou
14:54 <ADragonDreaming> Feel free to hang out in here and such.
14:54 <Adviceplease> Any terms I should use to get down to his level?
14:54 <ADragonDreaming> That basically doesn't work from everything I've seen
14:54 <Adviceplease> I’ve heard yiffing is popular
14:54 <ADragonDreaming> uhhhhh
14:54 <ADragonDreaming> no
14:54 <RazorSharpFang> I don't... Don't use that term.
14:54 <Adviceplease> Why?
14:54 <Adviceplease> what is it?
14:55 <ADragonDreaming> Not appropriate for an all-ages channel
14:55 <RazorSharpFang> We can't discuss the definition of that term in an all-ages channel. :)
14:55 <Adviceplease> Should I google it?
14:55 <ADragonDreaming> You're an adult, look it up on UrbanDictionary
14:55 <RazorSharpFang> Probably not.
14:55 <ADragonDreaming> googling it will get you examples rather than definitions
14:55 <Adviceplease> Uhhhhhhh
14:55 <ADragonDreaming> depending on whether safe-search is on
14:55 <ADragonDreaming> also, that particular term is not exactly tied to MLP
14:55 <Adviceplease> ok
14:55 <Adviceplease> i will not ask him that
14:56 <ADragonDreaming> don't worry about terms
14:56 <Adviceplease> Ok
14:56 <ADragonDreaming> focus on the show and ignore the fandom stuff
14:56 <Adviceplease> I wanna research though so I’m not annoying him every 5 mins with “who’s that”
14:57 <RazorSharpFang> Well, if you watch the show, everyone important usually gets name-dropped, minus fan-named minor characters.
14:57 <ADragonDreaming> http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Characters
14:57 <Adviceplease> Or should I just let him have his own thing?
14:57 <ADragonDreaming> but yeah, everybody gets introduced
14:57 <ADragonDreaming> That's also a valid tactic.
14:57 <ADragonDreaming> Frankly I'd recommend you watch the show so as to have an understanding of what it is and perhaps why he likes it
14:58 <Adviceplease> It consumes his life though & I wanna connect with him before the baby comes
14:59 <ADragonDreaming> But actively attempting to connect with him over it may backfire. I don't know him well enough to say one way or the other, but think back to your own childhood and consider what how you might have felt about your parents attempting to connect with you over a forced shared interest.
14:59 <Adviceplease> Well, I openly used to do lines with my old man
14:59 <ADragonDreaming> As ever, everyone is somewhat different.
14:59 <Adviceplease> So, I don’t want him making the same mistake
15:00 <Adviceplease> it’s good he is drug free
15:00 <ADragonDreaming> Pretty sure bronies aren't a gateway to drugs
15:00 <RazorSharpFang> Well... it takes two to tango. You can't make someone be your friend if they don't want to be yours. That's just how free will is.
15:00 <Adviceplease> Touché
15:00 <ADragonDreaming> Bear in mind, too, that we're a bunch of schlubs on the internet
15:00 <Adviceplease> his mum wants us to get along though & I don’t blame him for hating me
15:01 <ADragonDreaming> How long have you been his stepdad?
15:01 <Adviceplease> I’ve been in his life since he was 8 at 10 his Mum and I started dating, at 13 we got married & now she’s pregnant
15:02 <RazorSharpFang> Well, sociologically I think that parents are supposed to be informative, forgiving proxies for the social environment. So do keep that in mind; be a good example, lead by example.
15:02 <ADragonDreaming> so... one year since officially stepdad
15:02 <Adviceplease> Under 1 year
15:02 <ADragonDreaming> also, he's 14, and adolescence is a bundle of weirdness
15:02 <Adviceplease> she fell pregnant before the wedding
15:03 <Adviceplease> I get that^
15:03 <ADragonDreaming> Yeh
15:03 <Adviceplease> They live at my place & I try to give him freedom to do whatever he wants
15:04 <Adviceplease> I ain’t gonna replace his dad, and I know that
15:04 <Adviceplease> His dad was a good man
15:05 <ADragonDreaming> At this point I'm out of my depth in being able to provide advice.
15:05 <Adviceplease> Loved them till his last breath
15:06 <Adviceplease> If I get high, will mlp become even better?
15:06 <ADragonDreaming> I have no idea.
15:06 <Adviceplease> Would I actually enjoy it more?
15:06 <RazorSharpFang> I don't see any reason why you'd enjoy it more than anything else whilst high.
15:06 <ADragonDreaming> Also, I'll just re-iterate the All Ages rating
15:07 <Adviceplease> Ok
15:07 <ADragonDreaming> I don't know that any of them are here right now but there have been 11 year old visitors in the channel and etc.
15:07 <Adviceplease> I’m gonna find the dvds and start watching
15:07 <ADragonDreaming> Good plan.
15:07 <Adviceplease> oh yeah, I apologise
15:07 <Adviceplease> I forgot kids are on here

15:09 <RazorSharpFang> Sounds like the opposite of peace.
15:10 <ADragonDreaming> Eh, in this game, the five factions are constantly declaring war on each other.
15:10 <RazorSharpFang> "I'm declaring war" "NO I'M declaring war" "NO ME" "NO U"
15:10 <ADragonDreaming> So it's my job to beat them all into submission so they stop fighting.
15:11 <RazorSharpFang> So by being the best at war you stop war.
15:11 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.

15:40 <Cepheid> That was a good exercise.

15:40 <RazorSharpFang> I'm uncertain for some reason.
15:40 <Cepheid> Don't know, don't care.
15:41 <Cepheid> It was good, that's all that matters.
15:42 <Cepheid> I need to start doing more aerobic exercises. Starting with 30 minutes every second day, to give my legs a chance to recover. Then I'll up that at some point to 30 minutes a day. Ideally I should be doing it first thing after waking up, but ah..
15:42 <Cepheid> I'm partly lazy.
15:43 <RazorSharpFang> aerobic... which means... uh... the... uhhh
15:44 <Cepheid> I forget off hand, but it works on the circulatory system.
15:44 <Cepheid> Which right now, mine is in terrible shape.
15:44 <Cepheid> My blood pressure is high. Averages 140/100. It should be lower.
15:44 <RazorSharpFang> Dang it, my base is extending into a cliff. I need to blow it up.
15:47 * Cepheid revives Schism and Dreamer in a battle, not expecting the bind to wear off on enemy. The bind wore off. Next turn, tries to heal, hoping the enemy doesn't go first and use it's special attack.
15:47 * Cepheid watches the enemy use it's special attack first, it hits Schism and Dreamer, murdering them *AGAIN*.
15:47 <Cepheid> I hate Murphy.
15:48 <Cepheid> No matter. Cepheid has started on a skill that *SHOULD* help. In about 9 levels.
15:49 <Cepheid> Dragon Force. Passive skill, activates randomly, each level increases activation rate. If it activates, it negates damage on the opposing combat line. The squishies are in that line.
15:50 <ADragonDreaming> spiffy
15:50 <RazorSharpFang> "Rocket Launcher can't shoot Piercing Rounds magazine." You can't tell me what to do.
15:51 <ADragonDreaming> Yes it can.

15:59 <RazorSharpFang> Why would giving you new weaponry cost money?
15:59 <Cepheid> Because in the Etrian Odyssey series, new weapons are unlocked by selling monster drops.
15:59 <Cepheid> But you still have to buy the weapons.
16:00 <RazorSharpFang> Hmmm.
16:00 <ADragonDreaming> heh
16:00 <Cepheid> In any case, Dreamer has a new staff.
16:00 <RazorSharpFang> By the way, how good are Rockets and the Rocket Launcher at destroying bases?
16:00 <Cepheid> It's cursed. Apparently.
16:01 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang: Pretty good, actually. Not sure in comparison to tank shells, but I'd have to say equivalent.
16:01 <ADragonDreaming> They're pretty efficient at taking out the spawners, IIRC
16:01 <ADragonDreaming> provided you aren't using the explosive variant.
16:01 <RazorSharpFang> Why would explosive ones be less efficient?
16:01 <Cepheid> Splash damage.
16:01 <ADragonDreaming> because they are tuned for splash damage against multiple targets, and the size of the spawner cuts down on their effectiveness.
16:02 <ADragonDreaming> Splash damage doesn't get applied multiple times to a single target
16:02 <Cepheid> In theory, it makes a weird kind of sense. If the intent is to do impact or piercing damage, you want a shell or rocket that is designed for it.
16:02 <RazorSharpFang> Do nuclear rockets exist?
16:02 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, if you're looking at casualties, or looking to do flak-like damage, rockets are good. But they're useless against things that are re-inforced against rockets.
16:02 <Cepheid> YES.
16:02 <ADragonDreaming> explosive rounds are meant to handle a biter/spitter swarm
16:02 <Cepheid> The nuclear warhead.
16:02 <Cepheid> If you fire it, the entire base will be gone.
16:02 <RazorSharpFang> Do you also fire that with the rocket launcher?
16:02 <Cepheid> Yes.
16:03 <ADragonDreaming> regular rockets are tuned for taking out single hardened targets.
16:03 <RazorSharpFang> Bit weird to fire a nuclear rockets with a hand-held weapon...
16:03 <Cepheid> Which means you are at risk of nuking yourself, yes.
16:03 <Cepheid> You have no idea.
16:03 <Cepheid> But yes, the nuclear bomb exists. 5000 of each pack except space.
16:03 <Cepheid> It's also costly to make, but it's destructive as all hell.
16:04 <Cepheid> Makes taking bases out trivial. It works by applying a growing ring of smaller, heavily-damaging(400+) explosions.
16:04 <Cepheid> It's radius is slightly smaller than the range of the rocket itself. So you fire it, and then run.
16:05 <Cepheid> But it'll destroy whatever base is in your way.
16:05 <RazorSharpFang> Which has a larger range - the tank cannon or the rocket launcher?
16:06 <Cepheid> That I'm not sure about. I'd have to look in the source. Let me check.
16:06 <RazorSharpFang> I feel like it's the tank, but it's close enough that I'm not sure.
16:07 <Cepheid> Huh. Doesn't say in the lua files.
16:08 <Cepheid> Oh, that's why.
16:08 <Cepheid> Range is decided based on the weapon.
16:08 <Cepheid> Range is 22 on the rocket launcher.
16:09 <RazorSharpFang> Efficiency modules are great at reducing pollution radius.
16:09 <ADragonDreaming> per the wiki, tank cannon is range 25
16:09 <Cepheid> Tank is further.
16:10 <RazorSharpFang> I thought it was something like that.
16:10 <Cepheid> 25 units for tank, 22 for rocket launcher. 9 units for the flamethrower and 20 on the machine gun for the tank.
16:13 <Cepheid> Stuff might cost a fortune, but if I do a regular battle on the 15th floor, I get a ton of items. Good place for getting lots of money.

16:19 <Cepheid> Upside, almost everyone has their best weapon. Only Cepheid and Razor need their weapons, and Razor's is the easiest of the two. The rest is all armour.
16:19 <RazorSharpFang> Man, cliff explosives are expensive to make...
16:20 <Cepheid> Yep. And hmm. That's interesting. The boss door is there, but there's a hidden passage over there that makes no sense. There's nothing beyond the boss room but the stairs up, no secret rooms. HMMMMmmm...
16:22 <Cepheid> Okay then! It's a passage accessible from the side I spotted it on.
16:23 <Cepheid> ... And then an unusual secret passage I *CAN'T* use.
16:31 <Cepheid> No, game, of course I don't mind you attacking that row and killing Dreamer on what was supposed to be the final turn of this battle.
16:32 <ADragonDreaming> From death I shall strike at thee!
16:32 <Cepheid> Basically. I delayed the battle two more turns just to raise your squishy butt and hit him with an explosion.
16:36 <Cepheid> On the up side, Cepheid's weapon is no longer an issue. Got a pair of silver ingots for that quest. That'll boost any weapon to +5.
16:37 *** Joins: Fall (isainmdom@Pony-5l2.c1n.228.37.IP)
16:38 <Cepheid> That said, it's not really a necessary upgrade. Cepheid doesn't attack very often due to you know, shielding everyone from horrible agony.
16:39 <Cepheid> I like to imagine that after a battle, Schism, Razor, Tirek and Dreamer are all "Okay, is everyone good? Let's move on then." And then there's Cepheid, who's covered in acid, napalm, and has several arrows and even a skeletal arm sticking out of him, and he's screaming in eternal pain.
16:39 <ADragonDreaming> Who's the healer?
16:40 <Cepheid> And everyone else has just learned to tune out the screaming. And Schism's the healer.
16:40 <ADragonDreaming> Schism fixed Cepheid up each time.
16:40 <Cepheid> Tirek's the punch-happy nutjob. Razor's the katana master and ATK buffer. Schism's the healing and poisoning stumpy quishy. You're the tall squishy who makes the enemies fall down.
16:41 <ADragonDreaming> I heal with explosions.
16:41 * Cepheid wonders if he can take on the boss as he is right now.
16:41 <Cepheid> So far my track record has been "Boss dies on first attempt" 2 for 2.
16:46 <Cepheid> Weak to all. Weak to arm binding. Summons undead. Has something called Wraith Explosion.
16:46 <Cepheid> The rare drop is... a loincloth.

16:49 <Cepheid> Okay, wow.
16:49 <Cepheid> Those undead archers he summons die in one firey explosion.
16:50 <ADragonDreaming> Some call me ... Tim
16:51 <RazorSharpFang> "So you're finally here. Come forth. I, King Dragon, will strike you down... Tim." "Hehe, that's me"
16:52 <Cepheid> Too bad you're out of TP and I have NO WAY TO RESTORE IT.
16:52 <ADragonDreaming> That sounds like a personal problem.
16:52 <Cepheid> This is turning into KonoSuba. "I can only cast Explosion once per day."
16:53 <Cepheid> It doesn't matter. We got this.
16:54 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, is there a limit on how many boilers can be run on the same pipeline of water if there's a huge number of offshore pumps filling the pipes?
16:55 <Cepheid> 20 boilers per pump. As for upper limit if you have a single pipe connecting to multiple pumps? Not a clue, but I am inclined to say "No" as the game applies some weird fluid balancing system to all the pipes on a network in one go, so fluid transfer is pretty fast.
16:55 <RazorSharpFang> So boiler0 has a water level of 199, but boiler15 has a fluid level of 193...
16:56 <RazorSharpFang> So maybe there is.
16:56 <Cepheid> But it'd require a lot of boilers.
16:57 <Cepheid> Like, a LOT.
16:57 <RazorSharpFang> I AM doing a steam-only run.
16:59 <Cepheid> Janetta wants to drain the swamps of the 3rd stratum. Crazy Cat Bunny-lady is a politician.
16:59 <RazorSharpFang> https://i.imgur.com/qAOJJMj.jpg - here's my current boiler/steam-engine setup. With 4 engines per boiler and storage tanks set up, I have a buffering system in place.
16:59 <Cepheid> You can easily handle another 20 probably.
17:00 *** Joins: Coco` (coco@Pony-79c.vhq.48.199.IP)
17:00 <RazorSharpFang> I'd need another 20 probably when I migrate from stone furnaces to electric ones.
17:00 <Cepheid> Pretty sure boilers take in exactly 60 water and output 60 steam in a single tick.
17:01 <Cepheid> So if your furthest boiler only sees 193 water, it's go- ... Okay, the town NPCs say stuff if you sit around at their screen for a bit.
17:01 <Cepheid> Anyways, the boiler has too much water, if it has 193 even after it's been transmitted through 19 other boilers. It could easily handle a lot more on that line.
17:03 <RazorSharpFang> Well, I should be good for a while then.
17:08 <Cepheid> Everyone is level 42, and I have reached the fourth stratum again. That effectively means I am back to where I was prior to restarting. Actually I'm a slight bit ahead. The previous team was around level 39-40 when I hit floor 17.
17:09 <Cepheid> Also did it slightly faster. About 3 hours faster.
17:10 <Cepheid> That path on floor 12 is still blocked, so killing the boss isn't the secret to opening it. Well then.
17:13 <Cepheid> Man, did they have to call this place the Lucent Hollows? It brings back further memories of the Claret Hollows. *Shudders*

17:14 <ADragonDreaming> probably the point
17:15 <Cepheid> Probably. That said, it's nowhere near as deadly. The Claret Hollows is the post-game of Etrian Odyssey 1. Basically, imagine if stratums 1 through 5, with their high difficulty, was Atlus restraining themselves.
17:16 <Cepheid> The sixth stratum, the Claret Hollows is what happens what Atlus says "You know what? Screw the players."
17:27 <Cepheid> Ah right. New battle theme because I made it to the fourth stratum.
17:29 <ADragonDreaming> Took another castle.
17:29 <ADragonDreaming> Granted it to Ansen.
17:29 <ADragonDreaming> Now Ansen fields soldiers.
17:29 <ADragonDreaming> Meanwhile Prince Consort Roland's army size has gone up to 240 or so.

18:21 <Cepheid> The thing is, if he's interested in exploding all the threats, ADragonDreaming may as well just explode the entire tree. ALL OF IT. The tree's presence itself is a threat, as it usually implies a seal on some ancient evil or dangerous power.
18:21 <ADragonDreaming> But if I explode the tree, then that lifts the seal.

20:42 <Cepheid> Lightning explosions.
20:43 <Cepheid> This is suspicious. Wide, open room, a single treasure chest at the end.

20:44 <Cepheid> Right, this area is too dangerous.

20:50 <Cepheid> Formaldehyde and a Hamao Prime. Both should be treasured. The former forces an enemy to drop all of it's items, conditional items, if it's used on the same turn the monster dies. These are critical for boss drops. Hamao Prime is a full restore of HP and TP.
20:56 <Cepheid> I should start raising Revival Herb so Schism raises the dead with more than 10 HP.

21:29 <Schism> Whoops.
21:29 <Cepheid> You knew. Didn't you?
21:30 <Cepheid> ... Ah, yes. The mid-stratum boss.
21:32 <Schism> I didn't, no.
21:34 * Cepheid throws ADragonDreaming at the Crystal Dragon.

21:55 <Cepheid> I haven't actually fought the Crystal Dragon yet. I'm putting it off until all quests are completed and gear is upgraded.
21:55 <Cepheid> Schism, mind doing me a slight favour since you seem to not mind spoiling yourself on this game?
21:55 <Schism> Shortly; am in dungeon.
21:55 <Cepheid> No prob.
21:56 <Schism> Fractal Continuum (Hard). Heh.
21:57 <Cepheid> Not super critical. Take your time.
22:01 <Schism> Pff. Do the FC (Hard), get 3 pieces of MNK gear after I've just upgraded everything I'm wearing.
22:02 <Cepheid> Heh.
22:02 <Cepheid> Anyhow, basic gist of what I need: There's a quest, Sparkle and Shine. I need to know how many distinct items are involved in it. I have four, but the quest NPC implies there may be more.
22:03 <Schism> There's one more enemy which drops two items.
22:04 <Cepheid> Dangit. Probably on floor 19.
22:04 <Schism> Wait, no. Just one.
22:04 <Schism> And yeah, you are right.

22:08 * Filly_Nightmares kneads Saerydoth
22:09 * Schism provides Filly_Nightmares with some cinnamon raisin oatmeal cookies!
22:09 * Filly_Nightmares eeeeeeeeeeeeeees and jumps onto the cookies and absorps them!
22:09 <Cepheid> I am not sure how to do this quest... Hmm.
22:13 <Cepheid> Oh. I can use New Challenger. XD
22:14 <Cepheid> Or not.
22:15 <Cepheid> ... Oooh, the position I strike from matters.
22:15 * Cepheid is not very observant.
22:21 <Cepheid> Razor's been wearing this Almighty Ring for the longest time. I think he deserves an upgrade.

22:43 <Cepheid> Ack, sorry for the silence. Ran off.
22:44 <Cepheid> Anyways, the beacon modules stack. Whether you can broadcast different modules, no clue.
22:44 <Ali> Just looked it up
22:44 <Ali> It broadcasts in a 9x9 area but only grants half of the effect of the modules in it.
22:44 <Cepheid> Oh, you meant what the beacon itself does.
22:44 <ADragonDreaming> yep
22:45 <ADragonDreaming> but you can overlap the beacon areas
22:45 <Cepheid> Yeah, it broadcasts the effects of the modules at half efficiency. Bu- Yeah.
22:45 <Cepheid> It's possible to surround a single electric mining drill by 8 beacons filled with speed modules, and get near or more than 3 ore/sec.
22:45 <Cepheid> Of course, you can't fit anything else in those 8 beacon spots then.
22:47 <Ali> I'm trying to get to the bot logistic chests so I can say *yay* these belts

23:00 <Cepheid> Mmm. Okay, I thought it was a mid-stratum boss. It's not. The dragon is simply the stratum boss, as I can move onto floor 19 no problem.
23:00 <Schism> And finally get that quest off your docket.
23:01 <Cepheid> You have no idea how much it is bugging me that it is there.
23:02 <Cepheid> Game, I am not so greedy as to fall for such an obvious trap.
23:02 * DashedRainbows sniffs PinkieShy
23:02 <PinkieShy> yea.. so i think i either go liquid cooling by end of summer or i'll have a overheating PC on vr lol
23:03 <PinkieShy> either that or invest.. into a non-lemon PC
23:04 <Ali> What about a lime one?
23:05 <PinkieShy> No.
23:05 <PinkieShy> I don't need another lemon.. only had this PC a year.
23:05 <Cepheid> What's wrong with it so far?
23:06 <PinkieShy> so far, case fans has been replaced twice, the motherboard has been replaced, and soon the Graphics card.
23:06 <Cepheid> Sheesh.
23:06 <PinkieShy> Now you tell me this isn't a lemon.
23:06 <Cepheid> Not gonna argue the point.
23:06 <PinkieShy> My only route would be iBUYPower finacing.

23:11 <Cepheid> So, I know what the name of the fifth stratum is, but it's icon isn't very indicative of the theme. What do you suppose it'll look like?

23:13 <Schism> I don't even know what its name is.
23:13 <Cepheid> Every five seconds, there is an explosion in the fourth stratum. It's a cavern. As for the stratum name, I'll bring it up when I return to town.
23:14 <Schism> Cepheid: Of course, you save the game and then you trigger the obvious trap to see what its returns are.
23:14 <Cepheid> I endure the traps, actually.
23:16 <PinkieShy> cepheid the chances are probably low that i'd get another lemon right?
23:17 <Cepheid> Pretty low, yeah. Just don't order from the same company, if you ask me.
23:18 <Cepheid> Janetta: "Yes...? Ah, so you wanna know where Therians come from. Well, when a mommy and a daddy love each other--Oh, you mean our homeland?" XD
23:18 <Cepheid> Apparently they're from Mountain City. Which resides on a mountain.
23:19 <PinkieShy> the better thing about ibuypower is they let me customize what i want.
23:19 <PinkieShy> Like on a i5 build they have.. i can get the i7 and vr ready graphics card.
23:19 <PinkieShy> different case fans, different water cooler and more.
23:21 <Cepheid> Right then. Etrian Odyssey 5's fifth stratum is called the Untamed Garden. The sixth stratum is called the Empyreal Bridge.
23:28 <Cepheid> C'mere FOE. I want to murder you.
23:29 <PinkieShy> The thing is my dad would get this PC.
