01:03 <PinkieShy> We was at lowes at the time

01:03 <PinkieShy> it was so heavy rain that you couldn't see outside

01:03 <PinkieShy> The rain made everything look a shady white.

02:46 * Schism was going to make those tonight! Or more precisely, chocolate chip peanut butter cookies.

02:47 <ADragonDreaming> just the demo?

02:47 <Thelema5> Schism, what stopped you?

02:47 <Schism> Well, it's still ridiculously warm and I'm not feeling hungry at all.

02:48 <Thelema5> Makes sense

02:48 <Thelema5> Still, cookies would be good

02:48 <Thelema5> I could have made them today,too...

02:49 <Thelema5> Just had too much going on

02:50 <Thelema5> Soup nazi:"No Cookies For You!"

02:57 * ADragonDreaming pokes Thelema5 with a feather pillow.

02:59 * DashedRainbows licks Thelema5

03:01 * PinkieShy screams it so loud that everyone on earth hears.. "I hate sin!! Its awful awful awful! I wish i knew how to stop"

03:01 * PinkieShy hugs DashedRainbows

03:05 * DashedRainbows also licks PinkieShy

03:05 <Schism> Sin is what you get when you treat people as things.

03:06 <Schism> As a certain fantastic witch once put it, oh, there are all kinds of sins, but the ones that matter start with treatin' people as things.

03:11 <DashedRainbows> How is the PinkieShy and Thelema5 today?

05:58 <Schism> Not a bad idea.

06:02 <RazorSharpFang> I say it's an experiment, because the flavouring I'm using is designed for a stir-fry, and I'm baking the chicken.

11:05 <RazorSharpFang> In Octopath, how oft are you one-shot from full-hp?

11:09 <Cepheid> Not that often.  Though bosses tend to be able to pull it off.  And Chapter 2 for characters can have an incredibly painful jump in difficulty.

11:09 <RazorSharpFang> I'm still getting one-shot by enemies I'm 5 levels higher than.

11:09 <RazorSharpFang> It's those darn ice elementals.

11:11 <Cepheid> I know there are also dungeons that are higher level than you will usually be when you encounter them.

11:11 <RazorSharpFang> I've finally gotten a secondary job.

11:12 <Cepheid> Heh.

11:12 * Schism hums... his DRK is now suitably high level that he can use it for ARR beast tribe quests. Well, some of them.

11:13 <Cepheid> But yeah, with freedom to go wherever, it is entirely probable that you will encounter monsters outside your level.  Also...

11:13 <Cepheid> If you don't recruit all 8 characters you may be a bit underleveled.

11:14 <RazorSharpFang> I've recruited all of them.

11:14 <Cepheid> Hmm.

11:14 <Schism> Wonder if anyone's ever done a 1-character run.  If that's possible.

11:14 <Cepheid> I think it is.  There doesn't seem to be anything I can see that stops you.

11:15 <Cepheid> Aside from difficulty.

11:15 <Cepheid> The difficulty of latter chapters doesn't go down if you stick with just one character.

11:16 <Cepheid> Dog be gone.  Cats freakin' out about this.

11:16 <Cepheid> Tizzy is sniffing around constantly.

11:16 <RazorSharpFang> I'm at level 30 so far. Good progress. I'm off to sleep, cyas.

11:17 <Schism> G'night!

11:17 <Schism> Also, heh, Cepheid.  They're probably waiting for the other shoe to drop or something.

11:39 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/svxpMSdAhRdNKPE/status/1029922853691351040 why does this bother me so much?

11:40 <Schism> Is that... /actually/ a ball made of cat?

11:42 <Schism> Blep.  https://twitter.com/svxpMSdAhRdNKPE/status/1022102602467573760

11:44 <Cepheid> I think so Schism.

11:45 <Schism> Sheeesh.

11:51 <Cepheid> I need to work on Generations in the interim until the 28th of this month.

11:52 <Cepheid> Oh.  Oh!  Schism!

11:53 <Cepheid> Etrian Odyssey X has been announced for the West.  Etrian Odyssey Nexus.

11:53 <Schism> Ooh, nice.  It's about time.

11:54 <Cepheid> February 2019 alas.

11:56 <Cepheid> ... Heh.

11:56 <Cepheid> Apparently Generations Ultimate localization started in 2017.

15:03 <Finwe> Pi: No, I don't drink coffee.

15:03 <Pi> Yeah, what I meant to say

15:04 <Pi> We grow coffee in our backyard, but we have to take it to a market to roast it

15:04 <Finwe> I don't like the alcaloidic taste of coffee berries.

15:05 <Pi> We sell it then take home like, 10kg of coffee grounds

15:05 <Finwe> And the plant itself does not grow this far north.

15:05 <Schism> Pi: Enough to last for a week or two, that.

15:06 <Schism> Why don't you take home the unground roasted berries?

15:06 <roflin> OwO grow your own coffee :D

15:41 <filly`Coco> So they're a little stuck up and spoiled eh?

15:42 <filly`Coco> I know you like to cook but cooking for 10k pones sounds like a lot, especially when they're only mildly grateful...

15:42 <filly`Coco> If I'm cooking for that many they should really appreciate it

15:42 <Schism> No, no.  Mildly Grateful Points.

15:42 <filly`Coco> Wha?

15:43 <Schism> Like, points I can spend on things to express this theme park's mildly grateful appreciation of me spending all my money on it.

15:43 <Schism> You know how when you go to a place like Chuck-E-Cheeze or Freddy Fazbear's, there are those arcade games which give you tickets?

15:43 <filly`Coco> Ooooh theme park building is fun

15:43 <filly`Coco> Yeah

15:44 <Schism> That's basically these.

15:44 <filly`Coco> Well I wanted a different joke but this room is for all ages

15:47 <filly`Coco> Are you playing Planet Coaster?

15:48 <Schism> No, Final Fantasy 14.

15:48 <filly`Coco> Eh?

15:49 <filly`Coco> They didn't have that stuff when I was playing

15:49 <Cepheid> "The doctor will be along shortly." "Okay I'll just be over here coughing." *Just did the airflow device.  Oof.*

15:49 <filly`Coco> I had a really cool character

15:49 <Schism> filly`Coco, the Golden Saucer?

15:49 <Cepheid> You know, the last time i was here for my lungs they didn't do the airflow thing.

15:50 <filly`Coco> Hm idk Schism I don't think so

15:50 <Schism> Cepheid: ... ow.  @_@

15:50 <filly`Coco> I was playing before the first expansion came out

15:50 <Schism> The Gold Saucer has been around since 2.0 at least.  o.o;

15:52 <filly`Coco> Oh idk maybe I just never did that stuff or I forgot

15:52 <Cepheid> Judging from the airflow results something is indeed wrong.

15:52 * filly`Coco injects Cepheid with lots of vitamins and chains them to a treadmill

15:53 <Cepheid> The curve starts in the good range but quickly drops out of the good range.

15:53 <filly`Coco> *turns the treadmill on very slow*

15:53 <Cepheid> That won't help this.  Bacterial infections are fun that way.

15:53 <Schism> Cepheid: It surprises me that it's the first time they've checked on that.

15:54 <Cepheid> And gimme a break Coco.  I can walk for miles without issues.

15:54 <Cepheid> My shoes are likely to give out before my feet will.

15:54 <Cepheid> Though i could stand to take up jogging.  If i knew how to jog without looking like an idiot.

15:57 <Schism> I hate to break it to you, but very few people manage to jog without looking a bit like an idiot.

15:58 <Schism> I'm given to understand it's a vital part of the experience.

15:59 <Schism> (Certainly I've never managed it.)

16:00 <ADragonDreaming> Running is inherently goofy.

16:00 <ADragonDreaming> If it's not, it's usually menacning.

16:01 <ADragonDreaming> For what?

16:02 <Schism> Weather forecasts said thunderstorms would start at 12:00:01 PM.  And now the wind is picking up, the skies are angry, and the rumble of thunder resounds.

16:02 <ADragonDreaming> ah.

16:02 <ADragonDreaming> All according to keikaku

16:03 <Schism> And the rain is pouring now.

16:04 <ADragonDreaming> Success!

16:06 <filly`Coco> I jog every week

16:07 <filly`Coco> It's fun when you get used to it honestly

16:08 <filly`Coco> Didn't everyone run around when they were younger, like when they were playing and stuff? That's what it reminds me of, on a good day

16:09 <filly`Coco> It's better what you can make exercise feel more like playing than a chore

16:09 <filly`Coco> *when

16:09 <filly`Coco> Anyways

16:10 <ADragonDreaming> Crossfit! Except no, don't crossfit.

16:10 <filly`Coco> I still don't know what that is. I'm just guessing it's endurance training

16:11 <filly`Coco> That is what my body is naturally built for, endurance. There are different muscle types and it seems I mostly have those

16:11 <ADragonDreaming> crossfit is actually a company that promotes: "a high-intensity fitness program incorporating elements from several sports and types of exercise."

16:11 <filly`Coco> Ah, ok. Ty

16:11 * Schism pops the Alliance raid like six times.

16:12 <filly`Coco> Yeah I hear crossfit usually causes injuries if you're not already pretty fit to begin with

16:12 <ADragonDreaming> however if you're not careful you can run into problems.

16:12 <ADragonDreaming> yes.

16:13 <filly`Coco> I've already had my fair share of injuries since I started exercising again almost a year ago

16:14 <filly`Coco> In fact I'm just now pain free again since a couple weeks ago which is nice, so I'm lowering intensity a bit so I can avoid any more muscle strains for a while

17:22 <Schism> So.

17:22 <Cepheid> On the way home, there was an orange cat on the roadway we live on.

17:23 <Cepheid> Apparently the cat owns the road.

17:23 <Cepheid> It sat in the middle of the road, and started cleaning itself.

17:23 <Schism> This comes as a complete and utter surprise.

17:24 <Cepheid> Probably why cats get hit by cars.

17:25 <Lumin> Kulu Ya-Ku are twitchy as hell

17:25 <Cepheid> Kula Ya-Ku?

17:25 <Cepheid> Ah, Monster Hunter World.

17:25 <Lumin> yeah

17:25 <Lumin> twitchy raptor boi

17:25 <Cepheid> I'm holding off on that until the PC release gets some fixes.

17:26 <Cepheid> Especially since from what I hear, older hardware from pre-2013 is having problems.

17:26 <Cepheid> Video is post-2013.  Motherboard and CPU are not.

17:27 <Cepheid> Instead, I'll be focusing on Generations.

17:27 <Schism> Fish-things are set for today, now to poke the ninja turtles.

17:28 <Cepheid> So, from the sound of things, my robotics class uses a LEGO Mindstorms kit.  An expensive one.

17:28 <Lumin> that sounds awesome

17:29 <Schism> Okay, Cepheid, from when is that robotics class, 2005?

17:29 <Cepheid> We're using a modified brick.

17:29 <Cepheid> It uses Java programming instead of the drag-and-drop language of LEGO Mindstorms.

17:30 <Cepheid> It technically counts because of the fact that you have to hook up and handle sensors and the like.

17:30 <Schism> Oh, I'm not arguing that part, it's a good medium.

17:30 <Cepheid> What are you arguing, then?

17:31 <Schism> That I used to play with LEGO Mindstorm in a class for folks a decade and a half younger for us, with video games set up specifically for that purpose.  Turtle programming amongst other things.

17:32 <Cepheid> I had that too, I remember the old setups.

17:32 <Cepheid> The newer setups allow running an actual Linux OS on the brick.

17:32 <Schism> Kinda makes you wonder what the bricks are made of.

17:32 <Cepheid> ARM 9 processors.

17:33 <Schism> What size is this brick, out of curiosity?

17:33 <Cepheid> Remember the old brick from the earlier sets?

17:33 <Schism> Vaguely.

17:33 <Cepheid> About the same size.

17:33 <Cepheid> https://shop.lego.com/en-CA/EV3-Intelligent-Brick-45500 This is it here.

17:34 <Cepheid> It's basically just a System On Board, supports wifi, bluetooth, SD card port, an ARM 9 processor, and a bunch of GPIO.

17:34 <Schism> Ahh, I see-- Er, yes.

17:35 <Cepheid> It's basically a miniature Linux box.

17:35 <Schism> And what looks to be a full quad of RJ45s.

17:35 <Cepheid> You could probably remotely log into it if desired, and write C code that controls it.

17:35 <Cepheid> Not RJ-45.

17:36 <Schism> No, I remember it being something else, yeah...

17:36 <Cepheid> That'd be..

17:36 <Cepheid> RJ-12.

17:36 <Cepheid> Modified, so that standard RJ-12 can't be used.

17:37 <Cepheid> Nothing an exacto knife can't solve. o3o

17:38 <Schism> "There is a mass of writhing tentacles in this chest!" "Excellent.  *drags home*"

17:38 <Schism> And yeah, not hard to fix that.

17:38 <Cepheid> http://www.philohome.com/nxtplug/nxtplug.htm Problem solved.

17:40 <Schism> Indeed.

17:40 <Cepheid> All that really remains afterwards is to figure out what the pins are, what voltages and currents are provided..

17:40 <Cepheid> Or required to signal the device.

17:41 <Schism> Briefly, I fear I must flump on a couch for a few minutes.  But ah well.  For all my snickering and joking about, the handling of various components through an interface, and the ways in which they need to interact with one another, does sound like a fine example of a robotics class.

17:41 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

17:41 <Cepheid> Probably going to be easy for me.

17:41 <Schism> It needn't be extraordinarily complicated.  Heck, you could probably introduce the teacher to Infinifactory and SpaceChem.

17:41 <Cepheid> Just wish I could go pick up the kit, but my parents want to wait until Tuesday.

17:42 <Cepheid> I need to make sure I get it up and running with my linux laptop.  The prof provides Windows-only instructions.

17:42 <Cepheid> And I guarantee the professor likely already knows of those games.

17:42 <Schism> SpaceChem would be a fine example of multi-threaded programming, getting two waldoes to work in sequence with one another.  And you never know!

18:01 <Cepheid> Deviljhos like to appear a lot during regular high-rank or higher missions.
