00:00 <Starlight_Glimmer> So have you joined the dark forces?

00:00 <LibrarianofHope_> Me?

00:01 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yes

00:01 <LibrarianofHope_> Nope, goes against the point of my persona

00:02 <LibrarianofHope_> Im always nice

00:02 <LibrarianofHope_> I have a reputation to create

00:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> But if you ate all the cookies ...

00:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean the dark side is known for their cookies!

00:02 <LibrarianofHope_> I never got to that

00:03 <LibrarianofHope_> They are highly overrated

00:03 <LibrarianofHope_> They make better ice cream

03:37 <Thelema5> !link https://youtu.be/5QMlIjSnt_E

03:37 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

03:37 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Ten Meter Tower | NYT Op-Docs

03:38 <Thelema5> It's 16 minutes of people struggling with the the decision to jump into a pool from a ten meter tower.  It's actually better than it seems.

03:38 * PinkieShy hands Thelema5 a bacon egg sandwich with a side of grits

03:38 <DashedRainbows> How's the Thelema5?

03:40 <Thelema5> I'm okay.  Went out to my favorite noodle bar tonight and had spicy coconut curry ramen with seitan and egg

03:40 <Thelema5> It was yummy and I actually finished the whole thing

03:41 <Thelema5> How are you?

03:41 <DashedRainbows> Meh excited for tomorrow

03:42 <DashedRainbows> Today was meh

03:45 <DashedRainbows> Bought it at my local asian market

03:45 <Thelema5> Ooooh, sounds awesome.  Do you know what was in it?

03:46 <Thelema5> Was it Sechzuan style?

03:53 <Thelema5> ooh, I've had that once, they're very good!

03:53 * DashedRainbows cries

03:53 <Thelema5> I like that the korean noodles are thicker and more bitey than japanese style ramen

03:54 <DashedRainbows> I've had to resort to an endorphin high

03:54 <DashedRainbows> How I've fallen

03:56 <Thelema5> Pfft, pepper highs are great

04:03 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

04:03 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2U [Official Music Video]

04:04 <DashedRainbows> Ah

04:04 * DashedRainbows is uncultured

04:05 <Thelema5> Nah, just an outdated reference.

04:10 <Thelema5> Its a totally hokey country-bumpkin kinda thing and I love that about it.

04:10 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

04:10 <DashedRainbows> No wonder it smells country

04:11 <DashedRainbows> It's Thelema5

04:11 <Thelema5> Heh

04:13 * Thelema5 applies cotton candy body spray

04:14 <DashedRainbows> Still snaps country, ya country horse

04:14 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Ulster County Fair 2017

04:15 <Thelema5> I think I might just go see "Leave no Trace" at my local not-for-profit theater

04:15 <Thelema5> Looks pretty good

04:17 * DashedRainbows whinnies

04:17 <DashedRainbows> I should sleep soon

04:17 <Thelema5> Nooooo

04:18 <Thelema5> I'll be alone with my thoughts

04:18 <Thelema5> O.o

04:18 <Thelema5> Just kidding... go to bed silly pone!

04:19 <PinkieShy> My thoughts lately makes me uncomfortable.

04:19 <PinkieShy> Just wish they'd stop and go normal.

04:20 <DashedRainbows> Eh  good night then and tomorrow I'll run on hype

04:20 <Thelema5> Well that's the trick, now, isn't it?

04:20 <Thelema5> Have fun tomorrow!

04:26 * Filly_Nightmares sneezies!

04:26 * Filly_Nightmares sits on PinkieShy

04:34 <Thelema5> I want a snack

04:37 <PinkieShy> :/

04:37 <PinkieShy> I feel to shave my legs and stop putting it off.

04:37 <PinkieShy> It feels odd having leg hair again

04:41 <Thelema5> It's an endless process.  I eventually gave up

04:41 <PinkieShy> Its not pointless if you feel you should be doing it lol

04:43 <Thelema5> I feel I should be hairless, but my body wants to keep growing hair. Fighting my own body seemed silly.

04:43 <Thelema5> It became an endless back-and-forth...

04:43 <Thelema5> In the end, I'd rather just the at peace with my body.

04:44 <Thelema5> *be at peace

04:45 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 my body is loosing up on the growing leg so fast back it seems instead of stubbly in a day..

04:45 <PinkieShy> Its takes at least 2 days to get like that lol

04:46 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, do whatever works for you.

04:46 <PinkieShy> Eeyup.

05:53 <Schism> So, ConfusionRift.  What do you imagine when I say the word 'ostentatious'?

05:55 <ConfusionRift> I... honestly forgot what it meant.

05:55 <Schism> I present for your appraisal an illustration of the term.  https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/w/images/0/09/Armor_of_Light--20180116221940.png

05:56 * ConfusionRift checks. "Ooooh."

05:56 <ConfusionRift> Yep, that armor describes it. :P

05:56 <Schism> Yeah.  I'm going to have to use up an item slot in my wardrobe, because it's just that ridiculous.  X3

05:57 <ConfusionRift> They are dark, but clashing colors. Also, that skirt...

05:57 <Schism> I also found this set of armwear.  https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Crimson_Celestial_Gloves

05:57 <ConfusionRift> Hope nothing hits low.

05:58 <ConfusionRift> It kinda fits the armor.

05:58 <Schism> It does, but the classes don't match.

05:59 <Schism> One's caster, one's tank.

05:59 <ConfusionRift> Blarg... hate that.

08:00 <ConfusionRift> Feeling about the same. It rained for a bit as well, increasing humidity even more. Still hot as heck.

08:06 <Cepheid> Well in my case it seems to be less humidity and more an inner-ear infection I didn't notice until a doctor brought it up.

08:08 <ConfusionRift> That is a problem.

08:35 <Cepheid> Hmm.  Lifeblood update changes bosses and such.  That could complicate my memory.

08:53 * ConfusionRift checks changes, sighs.

08:55 <ConfusionRift> Well, there's a chance this have ruined it for me. Apparently, aside from a noticeable visual and audio overhaul, they suddenly remembered they were making a *Souls game and did changes to reflect that.

08:55 * ConfusionRift whatevers and starts a new file, to see how these changes fit.

08:55 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and a new boss.

08:57 *** Quits: Pinmane (Pinmane@Pony-lh2tht.elisa-laajakaista.fi) (Connection closed)

09:01 <ConfusionRift> I just recommended this game to a friend, pre-update. Guh.

09:04 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, there's a map maker as well. Hmmmm.

09:08 <ConfusionRift> Oh... map markers. Never mind.

09:26 <ConfusionRift> Maybe it's just me, or is the knockback more manageable?

09:29 <Cepheid> A bit yeah.

09:30 <Schism> MFW my guildmate happily buys steel ingots off the marketboard for 400 a pop.  *sigh*

09:30 <Cepheid> Also how did they change it into souls game in your thoughts?

09:32 * Cepheid prods ConfusionRift.

09:33 <ConfusionRift> It always was, really. Just that, to me, it felt better paced and had less of that traditional cheapness. According to the change log, they made some changes to make it more difficult. But upon better reading, it seems it's more of them balancing how some how some enemies acted according to the area.

09:34 <Cepheid> Mmm.  Yeah the increased difficulty was more of a rebalancing.  Still feels the same but some enemies have new attacks.

09:35 <ConfusionRift> Oh, speedrunners beware! The inventory pause bug is now patched. :P

09:35 <Cepheid> Heh.

09:36 <Cepheid> That said I find it less of a souls game and more of a difficult metroidvania.  About the only souls-like mechanic I see is the Shadow thing on death.

09:36 <ConfusionRift> Some new attacks, a few more animation frames, new effects, some visual and look changes, etc.

09:36 <Cepheid> And even then it isn't a game-ending mechanic.  Unlike souls you aren't losing anything permanently.

09:36 <ConfusionRift> Health restoration kinda falls on that.

09:39 <Cepheid> Hey Hornet.

09:39 <ConfusionRift> ...that was fast.

09:39 <Cepheid> Hmm?

09:40 <ConfusionRift> Isn't she just before moving to the second area?

09:41 <Cepheid> Nah.  Second area.  Deep within.

09:41 <Cepheid> Pick up all the map marker icons...  Compass...

09:42 * ConfusionRift slow nods.

09:43 <ConfusionRift> Feels not as bad of a grind when it comes to cashola.

09:43 <Cepheid> Nah.  Though it never really felt as one to me.

09:44 * Finwe aims a generic o3o at everypony in the channel.

09:44 <Finwe> Good afternoon, my spatially limited perissodactyls.

09:44 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

09:45 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift.

09:45 <Finwe> o7

09:45 <Cepheid> In general it just feels like a grind early on because you have to pick up the geo.  Later on you get a charm or item that helps.

09:47 * Schism looks up. "Is this in reference to A Bug's Tale, or to Salt, Salt and More Salt?"

09:47 <ConfusionRift> Okay, maybe it's just me. Do I feel the nail is faster? I don't remember the nail being this swift from the start.

09:47 <Schism> Oh, Bug's Tale.  Kaykay.

09:47 <Cepheid> Right let's get this battle over with.

09:48 <Cepheid> Feels about right to me rift.  Really slow compared to what I am used to.

09:48 * ConfusionRift maybe remembered the game harder than ti really is.

09:48 <ConfusionRift> *it

09:49 <Schism> Half the games on my list seem that way.  Momodora, Rabi-Ribi, La-Mulana.  Once you get over that initial hurdle, things are a lot more forgiving.

09:50 <Schism> So long as you're not doing a 0% run, of course.  In which case they continue to kick you into a corner.

09:50 *** Joins: mattshadowman (mattthesha@Pony-bscjft.range81-132.btcentralplus.com)

09:51 *** Quits: matttheshadowman (mattthesha@the.shadowy.corners) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

09:51 <Cepheid> You play the games, slowly grind your way through them.  You pick up agility, reactive speed, and so on.

09:51 <ConfusionRift> Then again, I know how to swing the nail now, in comparison to before.

09:52 <Cepheid> The end result is that the game starts feeling sluggish or slow to you.  Easier.

09:52 <Schism> More pointedly, you learn how your character behaves when you press the button.

09:52 <Cepheid> Case in point I beat up Hornet on my first try.  When I first played the game it took me several tries.

09:52 <Schism> Why, yes, that bug is going to wait for three frames before he starts his roll.  And now you know that he does that.

09:52 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-eger8i.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)

09:52 <ConfusionRift> I still find Rabi Ribi a tad painful. I just know a trick to tank some things. :P

09:54 <Schism> ConfusionRift: So, have you managed to beat Pardoner Fennel without taking damage yet?

09:55 <ConfusionRift> Don't think so. There's not a single game I have played that I do a no damage run, fight, or achievement. Or at least don't think so.

09:56 <Cepheid> Heh.

09:56 <Schism> Well, in Momodora (and Rabi-Ribi, come to think) those no-damage achievements are on a per-boss basis.

09:56 <Schism> So at least they're a LITTLE better... (well, one exception comes to mind.  Beat the game without touching spikes!)

09:57 * ConfusionRift looks at Rabi Ribi and the "jump to your death" achievement.

09:57 <Schism> That doesn't involve /spikes/, though.

09:57 <ConfusionRift> Yep, there's that one. The "don't touch a single spike" achievement.

09:58 <Schism> Oh.  So, Cepheid, Rifty, you guys know of the game 'Puzzle Pirates', yesno?

09:59 <ConfusionRift> This game has some strange one, mostly for people who know how to bend the game and cut it in half.

09:59 <ConfusionRift> Nope, doesn't sound familiar.

10:00 * Schism nods to ConfusionRift, "Rabi-Ribi has an 'extreme sequence breaking' achievement which hasn't been patched out because it's just that hard to do."

10:00 <Schism> Anyhoo, Puzzle Pirates is a PvP-based puzzle game slash Lord of the Flies economy simulation.

10:01 <Schism> The primary mechanic right now, in terms of meta, is a number of factions seeking to gain and maintain control of assorted islands on the ocean, e.g. the server.  So far so boilerplate, ne?

10:02 <ConfusionRift> It seems they thought of adding almost every classic puzzler format. :P

10:02 <Schism> Pretty much.

10:03 <Schism> So there are a few different ship types in-game.  They range from your average small sloop to your whopping grand frigate.

10:03 * Schism is going somewhere with this, don't worry.

10:03 <Schism> When sloops get sent out on voyages, they need just a few crew members.  Brigs need a few more.  Frigates need a LOT more.

10:04 <Schism> And as you might expect, attacking them in PvP means that you're in for a bit of a tough fight.

10:04 * ConfusionRift kinda sees where this might be headed to, but needs to make sure.

10:05 <Schism> Last night one of the primary alliances sent out a grand frigate.  In a startling display of insanity, they put some three million gold worth of dyes aboard a single basket, instead of sending out a fleet of smaller, more easily-crewed ships.

10:07 <Schism> Dyes are incredibly low-mass, too, meaning that they took up a small percentage of what the frigate was able to carry.

10:08 <Cepheid> I have a number of questions.  All of then start with "why".

10:09 <Schism> PvP, in that game, is for keeps.  And it just so happens that the grand frigate ran into one of the best PvP navigators on the server.  It was promptly obliterated.

10:09 <roflin> I think it might have been "for the lulz"

10:09 <ConfusionRift> And there went a bunch of gold worth in dyes.

10:10 <Cepheid> Roflin. No guild is intentionally that stupid.

10:10 <Schism> Oh, the sinking was entirely intended to cause severe, almost physical pain.  I know this, because it was my brother who killed the ship.

10:10 <roflin> well that makes it way funnier

10:11 <Schism> Make no mistake, someone was exactly that stupid.

10:11 <Cepheid> I said intentionally.

10:11 <Schism> Oh yes.  X3

10:11 <Schism> And I have no clue if I should be applauding my brother, or decrying his action.

10:11 <Cepheid> Unless they were trying to bait.

10:12 <ConfusionRift> Doesn't this mean that dye values have skyrocketed?

10:12 <Schism> Nah, we're talking about black and gold dyes, high-value.

10:13 <Schism> Regular dyes are more fungible and stable, and unlikely to be terribly affected.

10:13 <Schism> I really... I mean, it was certainly evil.  He could have let that frigate go, but he decided to put the boot in.  On the other hand, that sort of idiocy deserves to be punished.

10:13 <Cepheid> Evil but fair game.

10:13 * ConfusionRift nods.

10:14 <Cepheid> In a game that allows open PvP like that it is entirely fair game.

10:14 * Schism nods, "Much like EVE, but even more clear-cut."

10:14 <ConfusionRift> Why would you carry a #1 issue comic in an armored van?

10:15 <Cepheid> Eve is pretty clear-cut actually.

10:16 <Cepheid> The games map can show you how many ships or pods were destroyed in a given system at any time.

10:17 <Cepheid> Plus going to lowsec(0.5 or lower) is asking for trouble.  More so if the area has had a lot of ship or pod kills in the last hour or two.

10:17 <Schism> Oh, I meant in terms of the metagame being a little more obvious than the snarl of twenty thousand alliances.

10:17 <Schism> And I know, dropping to lowsec or nullsec in EVE is asking to be podded without qualm or consideration.

10:22 * ConfusionRift suddenly misses Freelancer/

10:22 * Schism frowns. "Darnit. Mildly hungry, but not sure what I want to eat."

10:22 * Schism boops Sleeping_Nightmares, then points her at ConfusionRift.

10:25 <Cepheid> I am working on a 2D top-down EVE/Freelancer style game.

10:27 <ConfusionRift> I think there was a free one, but last I remembered it was a mess.

10:27 <Cepheid> Anyhoo...  Bugs Tale switch thoughts:  plays like it does on the PC.  Mostly maintains 60 fps.  Can see a dropped frame here and there.  Handheld mode performs just as well.  Bit of a load time for some areas but not as bad as say, Salt, Salt and more Salt.

10:28 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

10:29 <Cepheid> Overall?  95/100 on the port.

10:29 * ConfusionRift think he might know what he's talking about.

10:30 <Cepheid> Portable nature makes it much better though.

10:30 * Schism twitches slightly. "You know those days when you really want something like, oh... a pair of extra-large pizzas, one with pineapple, ham and onions, and the other with extra cheese, pepperoni and sausage?"

10:30 * ConfusionRift slowly nods.

10:30 <Schism> Today is a day like that.

10:31 <Cepheid> As games get more and more power-guzzling, I am liking portable consoles more and more.  Especially in the summer.

10:31 <ConfusionRift> I did notice the same as my friend played it on handheld mode.

10:32 * ConfusionRift has yet to use his Switch on portable mode.

10:32 <Cepheid> I can't be bothered to sit at the top of the house in 40 degree weather with 80+ percent humidity.

10:33 <Cepheid> With a computer giving off who knows how many joules of heat per second.

10:33 <ConfusionRift> I had no choice back then, and am kinda used to it. But yeah, it gets suffocating at times.

10:34 <Cepheid> I'm sort of used to it, but after a while it gets unbearable and I start feeling like *yay*.

10:34 * ConfusionRift nods.

10:34 <Cepheid> At which point I have to stop what I am doing and go downstairs or drink a gallon of water.

10:35 * ConfusionRift has a 32 oz. bottle of water at all times.

10:35 <ConfusionRift> Still, it's not always enough.

10:37 * Cepheid overcharms.

10:38 <ConfusionRift> ...have fuuuuuun. :P

10:38 <ConfusionRift> Actually, with the right charms, it would probably be a non-issue.

10:39 <Schism> "Sam Starfall is the physical embodiment of self-interest.  And that, I would argue, makes him a positive force in society."

10:40 <Cepheid> Is he ever seen without his suit at all?

10:41 <Finwe> !plot

10:41 <Finwe> *wigglewiggle*

10:42 <Schism> *wigglewiggle*

10:42 <Finwe> Messrs Schism and Cepheid.

10:42 * Finwe wiggles his hat.

10:42 <Schism> Cepheid: ... well... no.  But that's because it's funnier if people who see him try to blind themselves without us seeing precisely why.

10:43 <Schism> He evidently has an ID card which says that yes, he exists in only three dimensions.

10:43 <Finwe> Schism: Two spatial dimensions and time?

10:43 <Cepheid> Heh.

10:44 <Schism> ... Let's say... maybe.

10:44 <Finwe> Or just three spatial dimensions and no time at all?

10:44 * ConfusionRift looks at the time and sighs.

10:44 * Finwe noms on ConfusionRift's time.

10:44 <Schism> Three visible dimensions.  His ability to manipulate time is already well-documented -- Sam has managed to steal the cell doors of a prison in which he's been entombed.

10:44 <Cepheid> Going to bed?

10:46 * Schism meanwhile considers flopping too. Highly considers. Eats a pillow.

10:46 <ConfusionRift> "It's that time again!" Beh, time for me to go to sleep so I can go to work in the evening and deal with the same issues that plague my department and store in general, even if I try my best to deal with them with efficiency and- oh, I see I'm rambling again.

10:46 <Finwe> ConfusionRift: Welcome to the mousewheel.

10:47 <Finwe> Non sequitur.

10:49 <ConfusionRift> I'm surprised no game has decided to add a monster or creature that is a tiny ham with legs and called it "Hamster".

18:38 * Schism wants rain...!

18:38 <Cepheid> Seen it Schism.

18:42 <Cepheid> Done gaming.  Need rest.  Water.

18:44 <Schism> Pizza.

18:47 <Schism> Yes.  o4o

18:50 * Filly_Nightmares noms Schism for food!

18:58 <Cepheid> So yeah I completely derailed the game after getting to one point in the game.  Did everything almost backwards.

19:04 <Cepheid> Only problem with sleeping now is that I'll be woken up in about 3 to 4 hours from now.

19:05 <Cepheid> But I should listen to my body.  If it says I should sleep, then I should sleep.

19:39 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs Stormspark

19:39 * Starlight_Glimmer shakes Filly_Nightmares. "Pony!!!"

19:40 * Filly_Nightmares eees at Starlight_Glimmer and floofsplodes!

19:52 <Cepheid> So uh, schism.  I thought I had lost my saves for Hollow Knight on the PC, right?

19:52 * Filly_Nightmares licks Cepheid compuper

19:52 <Cepheid> Turns out Steam Cloud had been active for the game and my near-100% run is fine.

19:54 * Schism returns with a Klatchian Hots pizza. Also huhs! Yays for Cepheid. o3o

19:55 <Schism> And the other pizza, which is of course the very best of all possible pizzas.

19:57 <Cepheid> I'll still be finishing the game on the switch 'cause I am doing it all loopy sideways and crazy.

19:58 <Cepheid> I mean, I went through freakin' deepnest before going to the city of tears.  I used the secondary entrance, the one not blocked by a trio of mantises.

19:59 <Schism> Sequence breaking all over, in other words.

19:59 <Cepheid> More or less.  Without breaking things to do it.

19:59 <Cepheid> Deepnest enemies are sturdy.  Many took 5 or 6 hits to kill.

20:03 <Cepheid> But yeah.  By doing Deepnest early I got the tram pass.  Which I used to get the Dream Nail extremely early.  Though to be honest I think you can get that within like... 40 minutes?

20:04 <Schism> I'm certain there's some speedruns which do it faster.

20:04 <Cepheid> It was an estimate.  Could be shorter.

20:04 <Schism> Either way, that's quite the quick upgrade.

20:04 <Cepheid> I don't know what items are necessary to get it, but I think it can be done with just 50 geo.

20:04 * Schism saves a couple grubs for Cepheid.

20:04 <Cepheid> Eh.  Dream Nail isn't functional as a weapon.

20:05 <Cepheid> Just I was surprised there was another way to get it than the route I took last time.

20:05 <Schism> Any%... 38:28.  Yeesh.

20:05 <Cepheid> Yeah.  technically all you need is the nail and a lot of finesse.

20:06 <Cepheid> I think every area in the game has some way to access it without many of the common upgrades.

20:07 <Cepheid> It is interesting though how you can outright circumvent the mantis lords.

20:08 <Cepheid> They are guarding a door for no reason. o3o

20:09 <PinkieShy> Downloaded a nice wallpaper to my old fx 6300 machine so when my dad uses it

20:09 <PinkieShy> He'll be surprised lol

20:09 <PinkieShy> Its a red and black AMD Crimson background :D

20:10 * Cepheid stretches and yawns. Is trying to at least stay awake until alarm goes off.

20:16 <Schism> The president of Iceland once said that he'd like to ban pineapple on pizza.  People actually took him seriously.

20:20 <Cepheid> He should have.

20:22 <Schism> Blasphemy.

20:24 <Cepheid> For me, sweetness does not work on a pizza.

20:32 * Schism also offers Cepheid some leftover pizza with garlic butter.

20:32 <Schism> The spicy pizza, not the sweet.

20:35 * Filly_Nightmares eees for food!

20:35 <Filly_Nightmares> I am getting poutine!

20:35 <Filly_Nightmares> In Boston!

20:35 <Filly_Nightmares> O3O

20:35 <Filly_Nightmares> There's a lot of people from China here

20:35 * Filly_Nightmares giggles

20:36 * Cepheid noms.

20:38 <danwellby> Is there a place where I can read the release dates of mlp on aus/us iTunes?

20:41 <SunsetShimmer> The main ED site maybe?

20:42 <SunsetShimmer> Honestly, nobody here is paying attention to the non-us release dates much, so theres not much else I can offer

20:45 <Filly_Nightmares> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/221843320471552000/475402951066910740/20180804_163920.jpg

20:45 <Filly_Nightmares> o8o

20:45 <Cepheid> Cicadas are loud and noisy today.

20:46 <Schism> Yeah, they're a bit buzzy.

20:46 <Cepheid> That is indeed a poutine Filly.

20:46 <Schism> Hm.  In 1997, a radio station got in a little bit of trouble when its hosts spoiled the fact that at the end of Titanic, the ship sinks.

20:47 <Cepheid> I got one right outside my window Schism.

20:47 <Schism> And yupyup, tho those cheesecurds don't look as fresh as they should!

20:48 <Cepheid> The problem with history schism is that not everyone knows everything about it.  The Titanic sinking isn't really THAT big of a historic event.  Or at least one that people should know.

20:50 <Cepheid> I mean, how many people are aware of the Halifax Explosion, despite the massive loss of life?

20:51 <Schism> Fair point!  Or of the Boston molasses flood.

20:52 <Schism> But the Titanic is more or less synonymous with hubris.

20:54 <Cepheid> It is, but that doesn't make it an important point in history.  Those are usually reserved for considerable changes to the worlds appearance, be it literally or figuratively.

20:54 <Schism> Well, then.  The destruction of the Hindenberg, perhaps, which was the death knell for the burgeoning zeppelin industry?

20:56 <Cepheid> Fair enough.

20:58 <Cepheid> Regardless though, the Titanic disaster is not mandatory reading, I believe.

21:02 <danwellby> I know that the main eq daily site shows the cable air dates, I guess I would have to wait for a announcement then.

21:03 <danwellby> but thank you for your input SunsetShimmer

21:14 <Schism> 118 hungry goats escaped into a Boise, Idaho neighborhood, and started eating everything they could see.

21:16 <Cepheid> Are you kidding me?

21:16 <Schism> They were rapidly corraled back up and herded back to their owners, a company named "We Rent Goats".

21:16 <Schism> https://twitter.com/KTVBJoe/status/1025377752583532544 Some stories are just impossible to make up.

21:17 <Cepheid> ...  Why renting?

21:17 <Schism> It's actually not the /worst/ idea... http://werentgoats.com/

21:19 <Cepheid> Ah.  Natural method of weeding and grass cutting.  With fertilization.

21:25 <Schism> I could see goats being used to deal with kudzu, too.

21:25 <Schism> ... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_VIY6bVwAAhNGs.jpg

21:30 <Schism> The four phases of troubleshooting.  "It's not DNS." "It can't possibly be DNS." "Maybe it's DNS?" "It was DNS..."

22:17 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs the pops and suckles on it! She eees happily at Schism because he yawnskree!

22:21 <Schism> Three years since the release of Windows 10, and Microsoft still haven't gotten their patching down to a reasonable point.

22:21 <Filly_Nightmares> o4o

22:21 <Filly_Nightmares> Is still getting better though!

22:22 <Filly_Nightmares> I trust them more than I did a few years ago!
