00:37 * Cepheid flops in.

00:45 * Cepheid sits atop Schism.

00:47 <Cepheid> http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2259347 Heh

00:48 <Schism> Top comment is right.  There are no buses in Gensuky--*train'd*

00:49 <Cepheid> Heh.

00:49 * Schism runs around putting post-it notes on everypone, labeled "Not a mimic."

00:50 <Cepheid> Someone's been playing Prey, or saw that room in the game in a video stream.

00:50 <Schism> The latter.  X3;

00:52 <Cepheid> Heh.

00:53 <Cepheid> The room is covered in the danged things, and because they all flash like an item, you end up looking at them all for the sake of grabbing everything.

00:57 <Schism> Heh, which I take it also means that you'll miss the one or two things which aren't so labeled.

00:57 <Schism> Which turn into nice blobs.

00:59 <Cepheid> Yep.

01:00 <Cepheid> Has the player gone and collected all the random garbage in a room, throw it into a corner or other room, then use a Recycler grenade on it yet?

01:10 <PinkieShy> :(

01:10 <PinkieShy> my headphones broke lol

01:11 <PinkieShy> having to use a analog logitech that is 10yrs old

01:11 <PinkieShy> until i can get the logitech g430

01:14 <DashedRainbows> How is PinkieShy?

01:14 <PinkieShy> I'm okay

01:14 <PinkieShy> DashedRainbows how about you?

01:15 <Schism> Cepheid: Oh, I didn't watch that much of it, just that highlight.

01:15 <DashedRainbows> Sad, bored, empty

01:16 <Cepheid> Heh.

01:16 <Cepheid> Bleh, I don't really feel like doing all that much today.

01:23 <Schism> Yeah...

01:24 <Cepheid> Guess I'll take it easy today.

01:24 * Cepheid becomes a yukkuri,

01:26 <Cepheid> http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=564119 Schism, I am only presenting this to you because I saw it myself, and others need to feel my fear and pain.

01:27 <Schism> ... welp.

01:30 <PinkieShy> Wanna know what sucks thinking more about that PC I'm getting..

01:30 <PinkieShy> APR Rate..

01:31 <PinkieShy> or the lease fee if you count lease fee as APR rate if you calculate it and such lol

01:32 <PinkieShy> at least it builds credit..

01:40 * Schism waits around in the Serious Room. It's a very serious room, where serious people come to be serious.

01:41 * Filly_Nightmares eees and noms Schism's cheekies

01:41 *** Quits: SunsetShimmer (DJPon3IsHer@DJ.Wub.Wub) (Quit: *Wakes up to go to sleep!* Nini!)

01:42 * Schism also hides in the broom closet.

01:42 * Ali finds the broom closet ending to be the best.

01:45 * Cepheid takes medicine and goes back to bed, because for some reason his body is screaming "GO TO BED!"

01:46 <Cepheid> This form of screaming usually coming in the form of "Body feels incredibly warm, body feels heavy, and heart is beating so hard I can feel it."

01:47 * PinkieShy opens stanley parable types sv_cheats 1 and gets teleported to the room with Schsim

01:47 <PinkieShy> *schism

01:52 <Cepheid> ...

01:52 <Cepheid> The cats are literally a foot away from each other and not murdering each other.

01:53 <Schism> Hmm!  A detente has been reached.

01:56 <Cepheid> https://gfycat.com/ReliableSeveralAfricangroundhornbill

01:57 * Filly_Nightmares beds wif Cepheid

01:57 * Filly_Nightmares purrs and warms

01:58 * Cepheid melts due to too much warms.

02:00 <Cepheid> https://g.redditmedia.com/S6UQbX_AmlbhwiD1h1LrBRcvYj_6vdsyguL3zzJooCM.gif?fm=mp4&mp4-fragmented=false&s=2e8396dd3c63d137e446093b6d27e6e3 And here I thought this was limited to just regular cats.

02:00 <Schism> Nope, cats will cat.

02:01 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2TJlCAxjgo - full video thereof.  

02:01 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

02:04 <Cepheid> It's like clusters of neurons are just spontaneously and inexplicably all firing at once.

02:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #1514 [ http://tinyurl.com/y8jyf2as ]

02:05 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Snow Leopard meets a Pumpkin at San Diego Zoo

02:06 <Cepheid> Speakin' of cats..

02:06 <Cepheid> Spitfire seems to have a general idea as to what a toothbrush is for.  I don't know how or why.

02:07 <Schism> Watching you brush your teeth?

02:07 <Cepheid> But if I hold out a toothbrush(Soft-bristled, child-sized for purposes of brushing his teeth), he walks up to it and rubs his teeth and jowls against it.

02:10 <Cepheid> It's either that, Schism, or he's working from when we had an old scratching post.  It had a small spot with wire bristles on it for cats to brush up against, kinda like a cat brush.

02:10 <Cepheid> He used to rub his cheeks up against it a lot.

02:10 <Schism> Ah, that could certainly do it.

02:11 <Cepheid> He's more rough with the toothbrush though, I find.  He seems to be scraping his teeth up against it as well.  Though he's not exactly fond of it.  He starts licking his chops a lot if the toothbrush touches his teeth too much.

02:13 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/ETjcPKa.gifv

02:17 <Cepheid> https://gfycat.com/GrandConcernedKudu One of the cats in this video blends in quite well.

02:19 * Cepheid tries to startle Spitfire as he walks by. It doesn't work.

02:23 <Cepheid> Spitfire, you are a sweet cat, but you are a pain in the butt, ye know that?  Every time I leave the kitchen when you're on the same floor, you gotta rush into the living room, flop over in the same corner of the rug every time, and meow at me for love and attention.

02:24 <LibrarianofHope_> Aplly wub

02:24 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

02:24 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about 猫カフェキャッチー 地震

02:25 <Cepheid> It's when all the cats just lift their head IN UNISON.

02:25 <LibrarianofHope_> Its a hivemind

02:26 <LibrarianofHope_> Cepheid: i found a green rubber duck

02:26 <LibrarianofHope_> https://imgur.com/a/WlE7w9B

02:27 <Cepheid> So you have.  A witchy rubber duck.

02:27 <LibrarianofHope_> Bask in its ducky goodness

02:27 <LibrarianofHope_> I added the hat

02:28 <Cepheid> Ah.  Hmm, that explains the cat reaction.

02:29 <Cepheid> Apparently, at around 3-4 seconds in, there's a slight rattling/clicking noise.  This is apparently a p-wave from the earthquake.

02:29 <Cepheid> Apparently, it arrives before the S-waves hit, and the cats can hear P-waves and any effects they have.

02:30 <LibrarianofHope_> They have a name?

02:30 <LibrarianofHope_> Neat

02:30 <LibrarianofHope_> I just thought the quake was felt by animals earlier

02:32 <Cepheid> P-waves are fast-moving waves.  They arrive before S-waves and are about the only indication that an earthquake is on the way.  Only by a few seconds, though.

02:33 <Cepheid> My guess is we generally don't notice or feel them, because of their speed and relative noiseless nature.

02:33 <Schism> Hmm.  In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, you get to dropkick Ewoks.

02:33 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, cats are extremely sensitive to minute vibrations and noises.

02:33 <Cepheid> Same with dogs.

02:33 <DashedRainbows> Hey LibrarianofHope_

02:33 <Cepheid> So they hear/feel the p-wave and start freaking out seconds before the earthquake hits.

02:33 <LibrarianofHope_> The sith extra no?

02:34 <LibrarianofHope_> Hello dashed

02:34 <Schism> Heh, yeah.

02:34 <PinkieShy> oh Did i mention here we had a hit and run happen to our car :/

02:34 <Schism> Myergh.

02:34 <PinkieShy> it happened while my dad was working.

02:34 <PinkieShy> his rav4's bumper has a dent in it https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DjUeQJzU0AEbn_V.jpg

02:34 <LibrarianofHope_> Got insurance?

02:34 <PinkieShy> Don't wanna bother progressive over it..

02:34 <PinkieShy> Cause they might go up.. :/

02:35 <PinkieShy> Might just buy a heat gun, and heat up the plastic on it and fix the dent myself for him.

02:35 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/TmlQYpl.gifv

02:35 <LibrarianofHope_> Might work

02:36 <LibrarianofHope_> That is not a cat, its a plushie seal

02:36 <Cepheid> The eyes on it though.

02:36 <LibrarianofHope_> So cute

02:36 <PinkieShy> It sucks that the person who hit the bumper didn't want to leave insurance info..

02:37 <LibrarianofHope_> Hit and run means you noticed it later ?

02:38 <LibrarianofHope_> In mexico its slighlty different

02:38 <PinkieShy> Noticed it the next day.

02:39 <LibrarianofHope_> Ahh

02:39 <PinkieShy> I tend to notice these things.. lol

02:39 <LibrarianofHope_> If you can fix it easily it should be ok

02:39 <PinkieShy> Say if you change the wood of your steps to a new piece of wood.. I'll be the first to notice xD

02:40 <LibrarianofHope_> Im very distracted

02:40 <PinkieShy> Really all it needs is heat and i'll just need to take my hand and push up on it from under it.

02:40 <LibrarianofHope_> https://imgur.com/a/WlE7w9B

02:40 <LibrarianofHope_> Look at my duck, my duck is amazing

02:40 <LibrarianofHope_> To quote a funny pony song

02:43 <Cepheid> It tastes just like raisins.

02:44 <Cepheid> Also, watching cats react to earthquakes makes me wonder how our cats reacted back in the 2010 earthquake.

02:44 <LibrarianofHope_> I was pondering something the other day

02:45 <Cepheid> At the time, that would have been... hmm....  Simba and Pepper, I think.  Pretty close to the time Tizzy arrived, so I can't recall.

02:45 <Schism> LibrarianofHope_, that's an old Weebl song.  o3o;

02:45 <LibrarianofHope_> Geek culture tends to go to either to gay ships and dark theories

02:45 <LibrarianofHope_> I prefer the pony version

02:46 <LibrarianofHope_> For example, the dark blob everyone calls uboa from yume nikki

02:46 <LibrarianofHope_> All theories point to dark answers

02:47 <LibrarianofHope_> I made a story where i give him a chance to talk properly

02:47 <LibrarianofHope_> And it came out funny

02:51 <LibrarianofHope_> Im hungry

02:51 <LibrarianofHope_> Feed me Schism

02:54 * Schism offers some fajitas. Nothing major - peppers, onions, chicken, seasoning, tomatoes, more peppers, cheddar cheese, salsa picante, and sour cream.

02:54 <Cepheid> "And the souls of the damned."

02:57 * Cepheid goes and does something stupid.

02:58 <Cepheid> Oh, Schism, fun note.  In the latest update to Xenoblade 2(Version 1.5.1), there's an option in the game menu to have a certain Xenoblade 1 song play when you have Shulk and/or Fiora set as blades.

03:02 <Schism> Nice.  :>

03:02 <LibrarianofHope_> Imma go find noms

03:02 <LibrarianofHope_> Bye

03:09 <Schism> Hm.  Rarity Heavenly Nostrils.  This sounds about right.

03:09 <Cepheid> Something's outside

03:10 <Cepheid> Cats are focused on something outside on the path underneath the dining room window.  Now and then, they rush downstairs.

03:10 <Schism> Orange cat perhaps.

03:10 <Cepheid> Probably.

03:10 <Cepheid> That is it's territory, basically.

03:11 <Cepheid> I wonder what it thinks of a pair of cats that are in it's territory that it can't reach or scare off.

03:11 <Schism> "You stay on your side of the wall, jerks."

03:13 <Cepheid> Heh.

03:13 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I feel kind of bad when I think back to the nights of that massive cluster of storms and such.

03:13 <Cepheid> I heard a couple of cats fighting really loudly right outside our house, but I couldn't go out and stop it or check on either of them.

03:17 <Cepheid> Stupid thing is starting to affect me.  >.>  I took melatonin mixed with nyquil again 'cause deep, refreshing sleep and strange dreams.  I think I might have a problem.

03:20 <Cepheid> Okay, now the cats are attacking the door downstairs.

03:20 <Schism> Hooboy.  Definitely a cat.

03:20 <Schism> And I dunno, desiring strange dreams isn't a bad thing.

03:23 <Cepheid> No, of course

03:23 <Cepheid> But abusing drugs for that reason is.

03:24 <Cepheid> Of course, as stated, I get a deep refreshing sleep, something I rarely ever seem to actually get, so.. *Shrugs*

03:24 <Schism> Well, that seems reasonable then.

03:24 *** Joins: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone)

03:24 <Thelema5> six of one, half dozen of another

03:33 * Filly_Nightmares skree at Thelema5

03:33 <Schism> UJregh.  I should get some sleep.

03:34 <Thelema5> Nah, it's still early

03:34 <Thelema5> XD

03:36 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, it's incredibly early for me to be going back to sleep, but I'd kind of like to be up at an earlier time tomorrow, so I haven't got much of a choice.

03:36 <Thelema5> Makes sense

03:38 <PinkieShy> https://scontent.fhyw1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/37982003_548304718998061_2432858420655685632_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=cf989f49540e80e459dc38ff63fd7a0c&oe=5BC7B55F

03:38 <PinkieShy> I think I remember that lol

03:39 <PinkieShy> Always liked seeing them in the water xD

03:39 * PinkieShy needs to try Lobster >.>

03:41 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmFp6YIlVhw Thelema5, since you missed it.

03:41 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

03:41 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about 猫カフェキャッチー 地震

03:42 <Thelema5> Cepheid, cat stampede!

03:43 <Cepheid> Heh.

03:43 <Cepheid> The best part is when they all react at roughly the same time to the p-wave.

03:44 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, I just got back from the Maine Coast- lobster heartland.  I swear every dish on every menu in ever restaurant featured Lobster in some way.   All the locals make their living pulling lobster traps from the bay.  My hosts were ASTOUNDED that I didn't want them to deliver fresh lobster to my rental every day

03:45 <Cepheid> So in other words, if I ever want to murder my dad through starvation, send him to the Maine Coast.

03:45 <Cepheid> Since he's deathly allergic to shellfish, and presumably every cooking surface in the area is contaminated with shellfish, he won't be able to eat anything from restaurants, etc.

03:45 <Thelema5> Yes.  I had a hard time finding food, and wound up cooking for myself throughout my whole vacation

03:45 <Schism> Mmm.  Delicious lobsters, and fresh-trapped Deep Ones.

03:45 <Schism> And gaaah.

03:46 <Thelema5> Schism, better yet it was super foggy the whole time I was there, so I spent some time re-reading lovecraft.  Even though he was based in Rhode Island.  Close enough.  Same culture.

03:46 <Cepheid> Why are they called the Deep Ones if they keep surfacing, or approaching the surface enough to be caught?

03:46 <Schism> Well, they're pretty deep compared to humans.

03:46 * Cepheid imagines a philisophical Deep One now.

03:47 <Cepheid> "What if the Old Gods are called that just because they LOOK old, not because they actually ARE old.  What if they're young?  New?"

03:48 <Schism> Thelema5: Or of course, Stephen King is always a writer to read there.

03:49 <Schism> Mind, if I want existential cosmic horror when it's foggy, I'll play Silent Hill.

03:49 <Thelema5> I did pass by his house in Bangor on my way home. He has gates made to look like spider webs and bats.

03:49 <Cepheid> Is there a road to Rhode Island?  Or is it just called Rhode Island because it's covered in roads?

03:49 * Cepheid gets shot.

03:50 <Thelema5> https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/stephen-kings-house

03:50 * Schism buries Cepheid in the acropolis.

03:50 <Schism> Thelema5: Hee.  How very Addams Family.

03:51 * Cepheid pops out as a formless blob covered in innumerable eyes, mouths, and one cat.

03:51 <Thelema5> Taking the road to Rhode Island may be a Collosal mistake

03:51 <Thelema5> *colossal

03:51 <Thelema5> Pft, the moment is gone

03:53 * Filly_Nightmares licks Cepheid all over

03:54 * DashedRainbows would sit on Thelema5 but...

03:55 <Cepheid> The Cat in the Hat ate the rat that ate a gnat on a mat in his flat while getting pat by a bat- *BLAM!*

03:55 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, I appreciate your consideration.  That would not be fun for my broken rib

03:55 * Cepheid sternly orders the rib to stop being broken.

03:56 <Thelema5> Feels no better

03:56 <Thelema5> Sorry

03:56 <Cepheid> Well, at least it wasn't worse.  Ribs protect some of the more critical parts of one's body.  Heart and lungs, and all that.

03:56 <Cepheid> Hard enough of a hit, and it probably would have punctured a lung.

03:56 <Thelema5> Yep.  They did what they're supposed to do.

03:56 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs Thelema5 neck

03:57 <Thelema5> No complaints, just waiting for repairs.

03:58 * DashedRainbows licks Thelema5 instead

04:00 <Cepheid> If I go quiet, it is because I have finally passed out.  That mixture hits like a rock in a hurricane.

04:00 <Thelema5> Understood

04:18 <Thelema5> It seems very fake, the customers and service is NEVER like that

04:21 <Thelema5> They have a very good breakfast platter there

04:29 <PinkieShy> Wish my headphones didn't break stuck with this JVC pair until i can get those Logitech G430s

04:29 <PinkieShy> I just put my hand to the side of the headphone about to pull the microphone down.. But to realize its not there.

04:34 <Thelema5> Hmm

04:34 <Thelema5> I bought my headphones at a yardsale for $5

04:35 <Thelema5> They seem to work okay

04:44 <Thelema5> And Rose shared /everything/ with Pearl

04:44 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 have you seen the latest episodes?

04:46 <Thelema5> I mean, geez.

04:47 <Thelema5> I've never seen a show be so daring before

04:47 <PinkieShy> i think Season 5 is now over.

04:48 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 do you want me to spoil it or no?

04:48 <Thelema5> Not if it's beyond A Single Pale Rose

04:50 <PinkieShy> Then i'll keep it to myself XD

04:52 <Thelema5> Please!

04:53 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 all I'll say.. Expect the unexpected :D

16:49 <Schism> Welcome back then!

16:49 * ADragonDreaming just reregistered nick.

16:49 <ADragonDreaming> Hello, Schism.

16:49 * Schism tips hat. And then provides Tiamat with some raspberry almond cookies, too.

16:54 * ADragonDreaming nibbles

16:54 <ADragonDreaming> My laptop has been experiencing battery issues.

16:55 <Schism> Mwrf.  Just shortness of battery, or something more profound?

16:55 <ADragonDreaming> battery appears to be on the outs overall.

16:55 <ADragonDreaming> intermittent failure to charge to 100%

16:55 <Schism> Bleh.  How much are new ones?

16:56 <ADragonDreaming> not terrible. New one arrived the other day

16:56 <ADragonDreaming> But to get at battery I need to remove entire back-plate.

16:56 <ADragonDreaming> So I'm procrastinating.

16:56 * Schism blehs, "Yeah, that can definitely be a pain. Apple?"

16:56 <ADragonDreaming> No.

16:56 <ADragonDreaming> Acer.

16:57 <Schism> Hm, well.

16:57 <ADragonDreaming> It was bought on special during a period of time where I had no laptop

16:57 * Schism nodnods.

16:57 <ADragonDreaming> so I got it for pretty cheap and did not investigate things like this.

16:57 <ADragonDreaming> oddly it has an separate plate to provide easy access to hard drive, ram, and I think processor

16:58 <ADragonDreaming> I have no idea why battery wouldn't be afforded the same consideration.

16:58 <ADragonDreaming> In other news I Dark Soul's last night.

16:58 <ADragonDreaming> *Souls'd

16:59 <Schism> PC or console?

16:59 <ADragonDreaming> PC.

16:59 * Schism nods, "Heavily modded?"

16:59 <ADragonDreaming> I bought the Prepare to Die edition back in 2014 for $7.

16:59 <ADragonDreaming> I would not say heavily.

16:59 <ADragonDreaming> I would say functionally.

16:59 <Schism> That's about the right price.  And ah, gotcha.

17:00 <ADragonDreaming> Mods in place are DSFix, to fix display issues, and DSIC, to fix input issues.

17:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: PINKIE POWER - Osmile Scramble! [ http://tinyurl.com/y9wj9fzd ]

17:05 <ADragonDreaming> I spent about 4 or so hours of gameplay.

17:05 <ADragonDreaming> Rang the Parish bell.

17:06 * Schism should try the game again sometime. Also, hmms, and nodnods.

17:06 <ADragonDreaming> When was last time you played?

17:06 <Schism> Years back. and not for very long.

17:07 <ADragonDreaming> Yeah, it was 2014 for me.

17:08 <ADragonDreaming> I believe I did not have DSFix in, and I blame this for the lack of accurate hitbox display on the Stray Demon's magic attacks, which combined with the general attitudes regarding the game in general led to me abandoning it as a bad joke.

17:08 * Schism nodnods once again. "Somewhat more palatable this time, I take it."

17:09 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.

17:10 <ADragonDreaming> I've at this point watched entire playthroughs of DS 2, DS 3, Bloodborne, and DS 1, because Let's Plays are entertaining, I have a better handle on stat builds, and the community can be ignored.

17:11 * Schism nods. "No clue about stat builds myself, but I'm not sure I want to worry about them, as opposed to going through and learning as I go."\

17:11 <Schism> Er, -\.

17:11 <ADragonDreaming> mainly? Ignore Resistance.

17:13 <Schism> Oh?

17:13 <ADragonDreaming> Resistance gives a very minor boost to damage resistances and to status effect bars.

17:13 <ADragonDreaming> not enough to be worth it.

17:17 <ADragonDreaming> Endurance, on the other hand, boosts your stamina bar (more blocking/parry/attack/roll) and your equip load (equip more/heavier things without being slowed down), and str, dex, faith, and int let you do more damage with the requisite equipments.

17:17 <Schism> So +End is kinda the most important stat.

17:20 * Schism plays a bit of the well-known 'Happy Souls' video.

17:20 <ADragonDreaming> Oh. Also bleed resistance, it seems.

17:22 <ADragonDreaming> So, yes, it could be considered the most important.

17:22 <ADragonDreaming> But you do need stats that will let you do damage.

17:24 <Schism> DSIC and DSFix aside, any other suggested choices?

17:27 <ADragonDreaming> I may look into alterations of multiplayer coding

17:27 <ADragonDreaming> I personally have an intense dislike of the invasion mechanic.

17:28 <Schism> I have heard that's a teensy bit frustrating.

17:30 <ADragonDreaming> I don't like PvP in general.

17:30 <ADragonDreaming> I dislike, in principle, any involuntary PvP mechanic.

17:31 <ADragonDreaming> "Just stay hollow" the community says. "I miss PvE content by doing so," I reply, and end the discussion.

17:31 <ADragonDreaming> Also, lunch break over.

17:31 <ADragonDreaming> bbl.

17:31 <Schism> Ciaociao.

22:00 <SunsetShimmer> Like its just so obvious. :P Subtle bestest best friends coding to the extreme

22:01 <PinkieShy> My grilled cheese got burnt XD

22:01 <PinkieShy> But its still editable and taste good :P

22:01 <Schism> Hmm.  Grilled cheese sounds like a fine idea.  With real tomatoes, and mayonnaise instead of butter for the bread, and tomato soup with basil.

22:22 <PinkieShy> I'm not talking about football?

22:22 <PinkieShy> Its about AMD :D

22:24 <Schism> Cepheid: So, starting as a Deprived is probably a fine choice, right?

22:31 <Cepheid> Hmm?

22:31 <Schism> The Souls of Darkness and all that.

22:32 <Cepheid> Oh.

22:32 <Cepheid> It's an okay choice.  Hard to start with, but has a lot of potential.

22:34 * Schism mms. "Kinda lets you pick and choose whichever path..."

22:36 * Schism perhaps should not have chosen the Master Key for his first run.

22:37 <Cepheid> That's actually not a bad choice.

22:38 <Schism> Maybe not, but I suspect that sequence breaking might result in a world of hurt.

22:38 <Cepheid> You can sequence break even without the Master Key.

22:39 <Schism> I know, I know.  It is a Metroidvania, after all.

22:45 <Cepheid> I know of a lot of people who'd hit you for saying that.

22:45 * Schism snrks. "I'm halfway joking there."

22:52 <Schism> I probably shouldn't go up against the Asylum Demon with fists on my first try, though, should I.

22:53 <Cepheid> No.

22:53 <Finwe> o3o

22:53 <Finwe> Good evening, my smallish perissodactyls.

22:54 * Finwe hats on Filly_Nightmares.

23:19 <Schism> Game?  When you tell me to use the right trigger to use a plunge attack, and I do it, and it DOESN'T WORK, I get a little annoyed.

23:20 <Cepheid> Yeah, plunge attacks are a bit finicky in Dark Souls.

23:25 <Schism> Hrm.  I'd forgotten that DX9 likes to cause instability for some reason.

23:26 <Schism> Of course, I should more likely than not clean out the computer again.

23:27 <Cepheid> If it's the original version of Dark Souls PC, it's unstable to begin with.

23:28 <Schism> Eh, the PtD edition with a different DX wrapper.

23:33 <Schism> Uerg.  Yeah, I should almost certainly clean the box out.  Be back in a few.

23:34 *** Quits: Schism (Schism@royalkitchen.canterlot.equ) (Connection closed)

23:54 <Cepheid> Open-source Sim City 2000 killed off.  Not surprised, as it packaged resources from the original game.

23:54 <Cepheid> If you want to do an open-source version of a game, leave the resources out.  Leave players to find them.

23:57 * DashedRainbows licks PinkieShy

23:57 *** Joins: Schism (Schism@royalkitchen.canterlot.equ)

23:57 <Schism> There, that should help.  Though I'd greatly like to know whose decision it was to put the 16X PCIe slot directly adjacent to the onboard chipset.

23:58 <Cepheid> Manufacturers who are trying to cram as much as possible onto motherboards.

23:59 <Schism> And while I appreciate that to a certain point, you would think a bit more spacing would benefit.

23:59 <Cepheid> I honestly wonder how densely-packed a motherboard would be with the absolute bare minimum hardware required.

23:59 * Schism points at the Gamecube.

23:59 <Cepheid> Like, no Ethernet NIC, onboard sound, onboard video, onboard etc, onboard cats, onboard lives..
