02:16 <Thelema5> Hmm, I seem to have missed a bunch of new MLP episodes
02:16 <Thelema5> I thought there was a midseason hiatus?
02:16 <R0adkill> Apparently there was and wasn't.
02:17 <Thelema5> Well then... I have some catching up to do
02:18 <Ali> US episodes are only up to 16
02:18 <Thelema5> I think I've seen up to 12
02:20 <Thelema5> Nope, watching 12 now for the first time
02:20 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 what is the latest season..
02:20 <Ali> S8
02:20 <PinkieShy> o.o
02:21 * Cepheid awakens, noms some food, then goes to read until passing out or Spitfire appears.
02:23 <Cepheid> And a wild Spitfire appears. *Airplane noises can be heard. And a... Horses?*
02:24 <R0adkill> That's crazy, big fella.
02:25 <R0adkill> Does anyone here play WoW?
02:25 <R0adkill> My boyfriend and I play a lot and we want more friends to play with.
02:26 <Cepheid> Used to years ago. I just don't have the time for MMOs long-term.
02:27 <Cepheid> I usually start out fine. Then something like work or school hits and it is all downhill from there.
02:30 <R0adkill> I'm taking 6 college classes and I'm a senior in HS. How do I make time for WoW? Hell, I still don't know.
02:30 <Schism> FWIW, e926 is the preferred source if you're going to be linking from there. But DerpyBot has sources registered as 'safe' from there.
02:30 <Thelema5> R0adkill, generally speaking- you don't.
02:31 <Schism> And I'm afraid that I don't play WoW anymore. FFXIV is my MMO of choice.
02:31 * Thelema5 doesn't game
02:31 <R0adkill> FFXIV is apparently popular but expensive.
02:31 <Thelema5> It's tiring enough posting fact-checks to counter my idiot right wing father's social media posts
02:32 <Schism> Um... not more expensive than WoW.
02:32 <R0adkill> Well, expensive is what currency?
02:32 <R0adkill> Time or money?
02:32 <R0adkill> If time, then WoW.
02:33 <Schism> Game + Expansions is $70ish USD and then $15/mo for the game with multiple character slots and two retainers.
02:33 <R0adkill> For FF?
02:33 <Schism> Yea.
02:33 <Schism> Which if I'm not mistaken is preeeeetty close to what Blizzard wants.
02:34 <R0adkill> See, what I do for WoW is, I'm happy just paying the $15/mo.
02:34 <R0adkill> I can do that.
02:34 <R0adkill> And they let me.
02:34 <R0adkill> I just have less expansions to play with.
02:34 <Cepheid> Monetary, WoW is probably less expensive now. Didn't they switch to an approach where all but the latest expansion just requires a subscription now?
02:34 <R0adkill> And me? I'm fine with that.
02:34 <R0adkill> Yeah. They did do that. I preordered Battle for Azeroth and I got Legion, too.
02:34 <Schism> Well, that's fair enough. FFXIV has fewer expansions too.
02:34 <R0adkill> For free.
02:34 <R0adkill> Yeah, that is fair. It isn't as old, is it?
02:35 <Schism> No, FF11 is more along the WoW-era.
02:35 <Schism> FF14 is a bit more recent for a couple reasons.
02:35 <Schism> (Starting with the fact that the whole damn game had to be redesigned due to epic failure.)
02:36 <Stormspark> yes, everyone gets up to Legion for free
02:36 <Schism> Doesn't do me much good, last time I played was WotLK.
02:36 <Stormspark> WOW is still a good game, but it's much more of a time investment. You're encouraged to log on and do several hours of chores/day or "fall behind"
02:36 <Schism> Well, FFXIV does still have its daily quests et al.
02:36 <Stormspark> whereas FFXIV...you can just play like a single player RPG except for dungeons that are part of the story (and even that is just a 4 person party)
02:37 <Schism> Ehhh... sorta?
02:37 <Stormspark> but that's the thing, in FFXIV there really isn't any benefit to doing the endgame grind unless you want to be part of the high end raiding scene, which few people are
02:37 <Schism> Kinda need to do the Lighthouse and other things to keep up with the curve now.
02:37 <R0adkill> I mean, WoW does that for every expansion. Paladins are too big? Whack. Make a warlock, buddy. That's what's big in this expansion.
02:37 <Schism> Oh!
02:37 <Schism> So WoW is a TCG. Got it.
02:37 <Stormspark> FFXIV you can get by with much less time investment than WOW unless you want to be part of the high end scene
02:38 <Stormspark> if you ARE part of the high end scene, both games probably have around equal time investment, WOW probably slightly more
02:38 <Schism> Pretty much. :S
02:38 <Stormspark> you can play FFXIV casually much more easily than WOW (WOW is absolute hell if you are an altoholic - FFXIV lets you have all your "alts" on one character).
02:38 <R0adkill> I just screw around on WoW when I'm bored. I finally got to 110, though.
02:38 <Schism> If you're in the high-end trading/crafting game, you'll probably spend more time in FFXIV.
02:38 <Stormspark> I think I'm done with WOW. I'm not going to say I'll never play it again...but I probably won't
02:38 <Cepheid> In any case my future for the time being involves large man-eating monsters and making hats and fine suits and dresses.
02:39 <Stormspark> I may dabble in FFXIV occasionally but I definitely NOT going to no-life it
02:39 <Schism> Cepheid: This is not exactly saying that you'll not play FFXIV.
02:39 <Cepheid> Monster Hunter.
02:39 <Schism> Yes, but I've just spent a fair amount of materials on a fancy new dress.
02:40 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
02:40 * Cepheid rips a scale off a giant snake monster. Attaches it to his face. "Fashion!"
02:41 <R0adkill> I had some ideas for an MMO.
02:41 <Stormspark> you sound like you're channeling Rarity
02:41 * Schism peers. "You haven't carved it enough."
02:41 <R0adkill> It's like an RPG with guns that implements something like the VATS system from Fallout. It's a... Complex concept, but it's still a cool little idea I had.
02:41 <Schism> That sounds almost like you could implement it in the Furcadia engine.
02:42 * ADragonDreaming throws fire at clams.
02:42 * Schism offers Adra some smoked mussels with bleu cheese dressing.
02:42 <ADragonDreaming> I'm not sure the Chosen Undead eats.
02:43 <Schism> So you're not sure they don't.
02:43 * Cepheid rips off a horn. He looks about on his body for where to put it. He settles on the crotch region. "Gives a major boost to Dragon resist this way."
02:43 <Cepheid> I'm guessing it terrifies dragons or something.
02:44 <Schism> Oh yay, Typhon GATE again.
02:45 * Schism gets sneezed off.
02:46 <Cepheid> Hey ADragonDreaming, I appear to be a bit rusty in MH. I carted the "beginner" difficulty quest in the demo. ;.;
02:47 <ADragonDreaming> congrats!
02:48 <Cepheid> The Great Maccao beat me up.
02:48 <ADragonDreaming> As it should be
02:49 <Cepheid> 'Course had I used a bowgun, I'd have riddled it with holes. Not sure if I want to start over or transfer my save when it is released.
02:51 <R0adkill> So, why have people dubbed their toilet "the John?"
02:51 <R0adkill> I always call the bathroom Jim, because it doesn't sound good to say "I went to the John this morning."
02:51 <R0adkill> But it sounds really great if you say: "I went to the Jim this morning."
02:53 <R0adkill> ... Not ONE laugh? Aw, come on! You're really bustin' my chops tonight, guys.
02:53 * ADragonDreaming gnaws on R0adkill
02:53 * R0adkill is into it.
02:54 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-7elts9.159-117-185-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)
02:54 <Cepheid> Sorry. I don't want to scare my cat with a Tidus laugh.
02:54 <ADragonDreaming> I saw that scene recently.
02:54 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-7elts9.159-117-185-net.sccoast.net)
02:54 <PinkieShy> So someone told me yesterday what it sounds to them what it sounds like i am going through being sad lately.
02:54 <ADragonDreaming> It's not as bad as people led me to believe.
02:54 <Cepheid> Yeah.
02:54 <PinkieShy> They said to them it sounds like i am grieving over my sin..
02:54 <Cepheid> I've even seen the Japanese version.
02:54 <Cepheid> Pretty much 1:1 recreation.
02:55 <R0adkill> Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
02:55 <R0adkill> Ha aH ha hA ah Ha
02:56 <R0adkill> I got my cap and gown today.
02:56 <R0adkill> We got them hella early.
02:57 <Cepheid> I got a few more years to go myself. Assuming insanity doesn't beat me first.
02:57 <R0adkill> What do you wanna do in college?
02:57 <Cepheid> Already graduated college.
02:57 <R0adkill> That's crazy, big fella.
02:57 <R0adkill> Major?
02:57 <Cepheid> I'm in university. Taking computer science.
02:58 * Thelema5 squints
02:58 <R0adkill> That was my original intended major.
02:58 <Stormspark> "What an unusual name, Latrine" "We changed it in the 9th century" "You mean you changed it TO Latrine" "Yeah, used to be Shithouse"
02:58 * Schism places a cookie on Thelema5's head.
02:58 <R0adkill> But I realized that I only wanted to do CS to make games.
02:58 <R0adkill> So now I'm doing astronomy.
02:58 <Schism> These days, astronomy requires a fair amount of computer science.
02:59 * Thelema5 nods to nab that cookie, thanksie!@
02:59 * Schism places another cookie on Surry's head.
02:59 * R0adkill steals the cookie off Thelema5's head, because I'm chaotic good and that means that I go with my moral standpoint that's good and to me, it's a good idea to take the cookie so Thelema5 does not suffer from diabetes later on in life. Thank me and not him.
02:59 <R0adkill> Oh, yeah. I know.
03:00 <R0adkill> I need 30 or so hours of CS to get my degree in astrophysics.
03:00 <Stormspark> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt3gcSyL5vg
03:00 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
03:00 <R0adkill> It's required.
03:00 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about ShitHouse
03:00 <R0adkill> Bad word, but I don't really care. I say worse.
03:00 <Cepheid> Stormspark. Not in this channel please. Rules and all that.
03:00 <R0adkill> ^
03:00 <Schism> Stormspark, maybe try not to link R-rated things in a PG-13 channel.
03:00 <Schism> And, you know, cursing.
03:00 <Stormspark> Was Men in Tights R?
03:01 <R0adkill> No, but it was sexy, so we'll make an exception.
03:01 <Schism> Erm... maybe call us PG then.
03:01 <Stormspark> I mean it wasn't any worse than Spaceballs
03:01 * Schism calls a locksmith.
03:01 * Schism leans over to Stormspark. "Who's that gunner?"
03:02 <Stormspark> lol
03:02 <Schism> Sorry, I shouldn't tempt you into quoting more of that.
03:02 <Stormspark> yeah probably a good idea
03:02 <Stormspark> I know that movie too well
03:02 <R0adkill> Did you guys know that Childish Gambino scored like a 1400+ on his SAT? That's crazy. He was a smart kid, and now he makes rap music. He's one of the only people in that genre I'll listen to.
03:02 <Cepheid> Anyhow, off I go to get some sleep.
03:02 <Schism> Are you freakin' kidding me, R0adkill? Have you SEEN Childish Gambino's latest music video? The thing is brilliant.
03:02 <Stormspark> "No no no please, not that" "Yes, THAT"
03:03 <Thelema5> That video was worldwide viral
03:03 <R0adkill> Oh, crap.
03:03 <Schism> Make no mistake, Donald Glover is a certifiable freakin' genius.
03:03 <R0adkill> He uploaded something a month ago and I didn't see it.
03:03 <R0adkill> I feel bad now.
03:04 <Schism> "Now he makes rap music," what the crud?
03:04 <R0adkill> Well... It's not just that.
03:04 <R0adkill> He makes a lot of stuff.
03:04 <Schism> Yeah. Which is kind of the point. He's brilliant.
03:04 <R0adkill> I'm more into feminine men, but I would make an exception for Donald. He's pretty sexy.
03:04 <R0adkill> Anyways.
03:04 <Schism> Well, yeah. Dem moves. o3o
03:05 <R0adkill> What was the most stressful thing everyone has to withstand today at school/work?
03:05 <Thelema5> More to the point, the video had nearly a half billion views
03:05 <Schism> Even if it had 500 views, it was freakin' genius.
03:05 <Thelema5> Sure was.
03:07 <Schism> So he's working on something in Cuba with Rihanna. That... I'm looking forward to seeing that. I don't say that about music videos very often.
03:07 * Thelema5 goes to see
03:07 <R0adkill> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKWwLCM2Lkg
03:07 <R0adkill> So...
03:07 <R0adkill> The cat is me.
03:07 <R0adkill> And the food is going to bed at a reasonable time.
03:09 <Cepheid> Heh.
03:09 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I am falling asleep rapidly and my cat is around here somewhere.
03:10 <Schism> I'm sure that when you fall asleep, he'll find you. And probably nap around your neck.
03:10 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
03:10 <R0adkill> I scared my boyfriend's dog and I felt bad about it because all he does is bark and I never saw him act that way.
03:11 <R0adkill> So... He's an Australian Shepherd, and his name is Benjamin. And I think he's a cutest thing ever, but all he ever wants to do it bark and growl at me and chase after me.
03:11 <Schism> Have you maybe sat still and let him come to you?
03:12 <Schism> It does sound like he's being playful.
03:13 <R0adkill> So one day, I just wanna experiment and see what would happen if I stood my ground. I turned to face the barking dog and I stomped toward his general direction. I pointed at my chest and just started yelling: "This is MY house!" And he pissed himself like twice. I felt really bad about it, but I couldn't like, say sorry because he would just bark a
03:13 <R0adkill> nd growl at me. But after 2 years of getting snapped at, bit, growled and barked at, chased, it was the first time he cowered.
03:13 <R0adkill> Oh, yes. Many of times.
03:13 <Schism> Awrf.
03:13 <R0adkill> I still do, and he'll be cool. He'll kinda just give off a light, quiet growl as a pet him.
03:13 <Cepheid> ...
03:13 <R0adkill> But as soon as I get up and start walking around his house, he gets upset.
03:14 <Schism> You're the alpha. And he's worried that you'll steal his territory.
03:14 <R0adkill> Heh. I don't have the guts to.
03:14 *** Quits: Cobalt_Blitz (Cobalt@Pony-39pn3u.res.rr.com) (Quit: Leaving)
03:14 <Schism> Or something, anyway, but that's the best explanation I can pull out of my butt.
03:15 <R0adkill> I just like to crawl up in my boy's bed and play Nintendo Switch.
03:15 <Cepheid> Need wateeerrrr!
03:15 <R0adkill> It's just annoying. I kinda snapped at that point, because whenever I would try to go to the bathroom...
03:15 <R0adkill> Rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr!
03:15 <Schism> Cepheid: Here, have a thunderst--*watches it dissipate as it gets close to Cepheid*--glass of ice water.
03:16 <R0adkill> When I would try to go to the kitchen...

03:16 <R0adkill> Rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr!
03:17 <R0adkill> There was even this time where I was attempting to leave my boyfriend's house and Benjamin ran up behind me and bit my ass. And no, I don't mean that as a figure of speech. He actually tried to take a bite outta my rear end. Given, that was about all he could reach being a dog. I was shocked, like what the hell, man?
03:17 <Cepheid> What you are getting Schism isn't going to even come near me. The cell appears to be moving north, twisting counters click wise.
03:17 <Cepheid> ....
03:17 <Cepheid> Counter-clockwise
03:17 <Schism> Your autocorrect needs to learn the term 'widdershins'.
03:18 <Cepheid> Gods autocorrect. What are you drinking?
03:19 <R0adkill> I'll be back later.
03:19 *** Quits: R0adkill (R0adkill@Pony-roh.ceg.16.184.IP) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
03:19 <Cepheid> Let's see... widdershins. It labels it as not a word and has an autocorrect suggestion, but doesn't use it automatically.
03:19 <Schism> Not a wo-- the hell dictionary is installed on your device?
03:19 <Cepheid> Wants to autocorrect to "wider shins".
03:20 <Schism> Turnwise and widdershins are perfectly normal directions.
03:21 <Cepheid> Turnwise is not a word either according to the dictionary.
03:21 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.)
03:21 <Schism> Deiseil, or sunwise, are similar terms.
03:21 <Schism> Deosil if you must.
03:22 <Cepheid> Sunwise nope. Deiseil nope. Deosil nope.
03:23 <Schism> Well, I don't hold out much hope for the thaumaturgic evolution of the species if such obvious terms aren't commonplace.
03:23 <Schism> (Hopefully 'thaumaturgy' is listed.)
03:23 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
03:23 <Cepheid> Why does it autocorrect some words but not others? Also it seems to accepted counter-clockwise now.
03:24 <Cepheid> Thaumaturgy is not. But Thaumaturge is.
03:24 <Schism> You might have used some of those other terms before, preventing the autocorrection thereof.
03:26 <Cepheid> Meh. Autocorrect is garbage anyway.
03:27 <Cepheid> Waiting for the day it is responsible for declaring war by accident on Twitter.
03:27 <Schism> So, Cepheid. We know that sine is opposite/hypotenuse. And cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse.
03:27 <Cepheid> Yes.
03:27 <Schism> So why isn't hypotenuse/opposite dex, and hypotenuse/adjacent codex?
03:28 <Cepheid> I don't get it.
03:29 * Schism facepillows. "Latin pun."
03:29 <Cepheid> Ah.
03:29 <Schism> The answer: "Because it's hard to print a triangular book."
03:29 <Cepheid> Speaking of math, my sister will be teaching that among other subjects up north.
03:30 <Schism> Ask her that question, then, if you want to cause her pain.
03:30 <Cepheid> It won't work. She is gods-awful at math.

03:31 <PinkieShy> Oh yeah earlier yes that was helpful :P
03:31 <PinkieShy> Thank you
03:31 <Cepheid> "Algebra is the really hard math right?" "They teach trig in grade 12. Not 5-9." "At least I don't have to do sine, cosine and all that."

03:32 <Cepheid> "I'll be covering trigonometry." "Crystal. Trigonometry is sine, cosine and tangent." "... Son of a b-"
03:33 <Cepheid> My sister hates me now for that.

03:34 <Cepheid> As for her teaching math I have no hand in any of it.
03:34 <Cepheid> Just that she is going to have to figure that out.
03:34 <Schism> I think the worst part of that is her name, because I can't stop thinking of puns regarding crystals, angles and the like.
03:34 <Cepheid> Least you didn't default to what she thinks of the name.
03:35 <Cepheid> She associates the name with a certain uh.... Profession.
03:35 <Schism> Yeah, uh. Why doesn't she just go by Chris?
03:35 <Cepheid> An exotic profession.
03:35 <Schism> That six-letter word is /almost/ the sort of profession that comes to mind.
03:36 <Cepheid> Heh.
03:36 <Schism> Anyway, I'm... gonna guess you guys just call her Chris, or Kris.
03:36 <Cepheid> But yeah a few years back I had to listen to a discussion/argument over that.
03:37 <Cepheid> 50/50 of Krys and Crystal.
03:37 <Schism> Names are weird. Many of the names you see kids get these days will inevitably turn out normal in the end, but many will also be... not.
03:38 <Schism> But Terry Pratchett noted that many children in the 1970s were called names like Pippin Galadriel Moonbeam.
03:38 <Schism> ("Your basic hippie is fairly predictable.")
03:39 <Cepheid> Honestly her name isnt the worst part of her existence. Her reason for being is probably worse in the grand scheme of things.
03:39 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-pf8tkn.dynamic.fusionbroadband.com)
03:40 <Cepheid> My mother intentionally got pregnant with her, with the intent that the father would take her away from her home.
03:41 <Cepheid> My mother's father being abusive as all hell and so on.
03:41 <Schism> And now she's well-adjusted enough to have a boyfriend, a career, and a neurotic dog.
03:41 <Cepheid> Long story short, my sister's biological father was a deadbeat dad.
03:42 <Cepheid> Husband, career and neurotic dog.
03:42 <Schism> Ah right.
03:42 <Cepheid> And it is only a matter of time before that first one changes.
03:42 <Schism> Not necessarily.
03:42 <Schism> Still, every so often, I'm amazed that you're as sane as you are.
03:42 <Cepheid> The husband is getting dangerously close to doing stuff that makes me want to follow up on my warning to him at his wedding.
03:43 <Schism> Ah.
03:43 <Cepheid> He wants to see other people, among other things.
03:43 <Schism> There are ways to bring up the point. Sharpening a knife next to him, for example.
03:43 <Cepheid> Heh.
03:44 <Schism> While I have my doubts that you would actually ever follow through, from what you've said, you have a certain, ah... je ne sais quoi.
03:44 <Schism> Though I'm quite certain you would follow through under certain circumstances.
03:45 <Cepheid> I'm less concerned about that and more concerned about his spiritual stuff. He wants my sister to partake it, but the stuff requires my sister stop taking medications she needs to live. Not mental-health wellness living. Living living. As in, not-a-corpse living.
03:45 <Schism> The f... okay, you're going to need to explain that a little more. That sounds a little less 'methodist' and more 'church of Latter-Day Saints'.
03:46 <Cepheid> Nah. Some Jamaican cultural thing. Something in his ancestry.
03:46 <Schism> Okay, fine for him, less for her.
03:47 <Schism> Is he literally saying that she'd be better off dying from lack of medication than living in sin?
03:47 <Cepheid> More or less.
03:48 <Cepheid> That's why it bothers me more.
03:48 <Schism> And also, in what world is not taking mental health wellness medication a good thing?
03:48 <Schism> Anyway, putting that aside... yeah. Okay, then. Let her depart from his presence. And if you need to hide the body, well, you have my number.
03:49 <Cepheid> I'm not going to murder him. It'd look too much like a hate crime no matter how I present it.
03:49 <Schism> Wait wait. Whoever said murder?

03:50 <Cepheid> Assumption derived from offering to hide the body.
03:50 <Schism> Sir. You are making at least six wrong assumptions there.
03:50 <Cepheid> This I gotta hear.
03:50 <Schism> 1. That anyone needs to die. 2. That a body needs to be dead to be moved. 3. That the body will be moved underground. Need I go on?
03:51 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
03:51 <Schism> There are so many better options available to a suitably inventive sort of person.
03:52 <Cepheid> So like, leave him out in the middle of nowhere with a bit of food, water and a note that reads "I want to play a game"?
03:52 <Schism> I was thinking of a locked room with a comb, a box of toothpicks, an already-locked padlock and a pair of nail clippers.
03:53 <Cepheid> Heh.
03:53 <Schism> And the 'Keep on Hanging' kitten poster on one wall.
03:53 <Cepheid> Might as well just knock him out and abandon him in a complicated escape room by himself.
03:54 <Schism> And the room automatically unlocks after exactly 22 hours.
03:54 <Schism> In the interim, a tinny version of 'The Girl from Ipanema' plays from a half-broken cassette deck.
03:54 <Cepheid> But yeah. I'm not exactly happy with him to say the least.
03:55 <Schism> Yeah. Honestly...
03:55 <Cepheid> My sister is a bit stressed out with the whole situation, and decided time away might be a good idea. Say... 10 months?
03:56 <Schism> And she's heading up north, at that.
03:57 <Cepheid> Also Iqaluit was only a stop along the way. She is even further north than I thought. I can never catch the name of the p
03:57 <Cepheid> Place though.
03:57 <Schism> Considering the circumstances, I think it best that none of us know exactly where she's going.
03:58 <Schism> Pass on my best wishes to her, though, and my hopes that she finds what she's looking for up there.
03:58 <Cepheid> Arctic circle north is all I know.
03:59 <Cepheid> Apparently the dog handled the trip well. Drugged up the entire way apparently.
04:00 <Schism> Benadryl is a helluva drug.
04:00 <Cepheid> Not benadryl. Some other drug provided by the vet.
04:01 <Cepheid> In any case I'm just glad I don't have to worry about the dog for at least another ten months.
04:01 <Schism> And alternately, you have a whole ten months to worry about how your cats will react when the dog returns!
04:01 <Cepheid> My parents think the dog put me through a lot of stress this time around, and think that's why I had my uh... Minor outburst earlier today.
04:02 <Schism> Yeah, an overexcited animal in your personal space... I think that's probably a good bet as to why you were stressed out to hell. That, combined with your classes coming soon...
04:02 <Cepheid> I dunno why but I just spontaneously started freaking out about a minor thing and just broke down after that.
04:03 <Schism> ... Cepheid? Don't take this the wrong way, but... that's like every anxiety attack I've ever had.
04:03 <Cepheid> Like, one moment I'm fine. Next I'm panicking.
04:03 <Cepheid> Yeah I know. Just not used to it being that sudden.
04:04 <Schism> The sudden onset, yeah. ... okay, brain, STOP IT, damnitall.
04:04 <Cepheid> Normally it progresses slowly over a couple of days. Not "blink and straight into panicking"
04:04 <Schism> Sorry. Funny thing. Imagining what those anxiety attacks were like nearly triggered one in me.
04:04 <Cepheid> To help calm myself down I had my mother verify something for me, so yeah.
04:05 <Schism> Overlap of a couple stressors can probably lead into you going 'Okay, A isn't a problem OMG B is wait B's not a problem unless C is C IS A HUGE PROBLno wait unless A OMG A is--' and so on.
04:06 <Schism> Not that I've ever done exactly that.

04:19 <Cepheid> Etrian Odyssey X is gonna be a problem for me. Same 5 character limit in parties. Nineteen freakin classes.
04:21 <Schism> I call Arcanist.
04:21 <Schism> Which you are absolutely going to have to have in every single freakin' party. o3o
04:23 <Cepheid> Pretty much. ADra by default gets healer. I get punching bag.
04:24 <Cepheid> Which leaves at least two DPS of varying types. I'd like to try and spread physical out to one of each damage type. Elemental is trickier. Rebuffs even more so.
04:24 <Cepheid> Debuffs*
04:24 <Schism> I thought that part of my thing was going to be debuffs.
04:24 <Cepheid> Arcanist is elemental in most games.

04:25 <Cepheid> But I could change you to a debuffer no problem.
04:25 <Schism> Yeah, seems to fit with my name anyway.
04:26 <Schism> I generally prefer to be the support classer in any event.
04:26 <Cepheid> Either way... Two melee front line. One piercing. One slashing. Bash damage will be handled either by ADra or the magicians.
04:26 <Cepheid> Elemental covered by one magic user. Debuffs by another.
04:27 <Cepheid> Standard balanced team. Wonder what broken mechanics will be discovered in X.
04:28 <Cepheid> Given the number of classes, some combinations will have distressingly broken synergy.
04:29 <Cepheid> Still need to finish hip EO5 and Mystery Dungeon too.
04:29 <Cepheid> Hip - up*
04:30 <Cepheid> Mystery dungeon will be a trial. It's FOE mechanics are utterly broken and unfair to the extreme.
04:30 <Schism> By which you mean 'a challenge'.
04:31 <Cepheid> All attacks deal 1 damage! Unless it has a status ailment afflicting it! And it can damage and make the town temporarily useless!
04:31 <Schism> ... CHALLENGE! *flails randomly about*
04:32 <Cepheid> This applies to every FOE in mystery dungeon.
04:32 <Cepheid> Heavens help you if your team is about raw damage or brute force.
04:33 <Schism> Nobody who's ever played an Etrian Odyssey game before would ever fall into that trap.
04:33 <Schism> Which means that most of the players will.
04:33 * Cepheid coughs.

04:33 <Schism> You... what?
04:33 *** Joins: Reia (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony)
04:33 <Cepheid> Status ailments are weird in Mystery Dungeon.
04:33 <Cepheid> So I didn't really focus on them.
04:34 <Schism> Yes, but... surely you had some means of causing them?
04:34 <Cepheid> ... >.>
04:34 <Schism> If only to get those sneaky drops? <.<;
04:34 <Cepheid> I have maybe one or two attacks that rarely afflict bindings. And items are one way to go yes.
04:35 <Schism> No, to GET those items.
04:35 <Schism> Aaugh. You really should have known better.
04:35 <Cepheid> !mystery dungeon doesn't do conditionals.
04:35 <Cepheid> I hate tabnlet keyboards.
04:35 <Schism> Well, that's just wrong.
04:36 <Cepheid> But yeah. It is utter madness.
04:37 <Cepheid> Apparently it gets so bad the game encourages to abuse certain mechanics to field up to eight characters at once in a single FOE fight.
04:37 <Cepheid> I did that the last time. I lost.
04:38 <Schism> It's... it's not abuse if the game encourages you to take advantage of the mechanic.
04:38 <Cepheid> Which strips you of all money held, all items held, and one random piece of gear per character.
04:38 <Schism> And you can't save scum, either.
04:38 <Cepheid> Yup.
04:39 <Schism> On the one hand, that's evil. On the other, that just makes me want to play it more for some reason.
04:39 <Cepheid> The game does a quicksave right before entering a dungeon. If you reset and then load the game, it loads the quicksave. Which is programmed to instantly fail the dungeon.
04:40 <Schism> And then it sends Mr. Resetti to chew you out over it.
04:40 <Cepheid> See above consequences for failure.
04:41 <Schism> Also, that's kind of backwards, isn't it? The game should just save your party in a state as if they've already failed.
04:41 <Cepheid> Of course they add a quicksave so you can continue the dungeon later. But once you load that it does another "failure" quicksave.
04:42 <Cepheid> Failure of a dungeon, caries the above consequences. Death is counted as failure.
04:42 <Schism> The assumption is that no matter what, you've failed. You only succeed if you hit a completely different flag.
04:43 <Cepheid> While escaping through any means other than a warp wire or geo pole is also failure.
04:43 <Cepheid> Basically treated as retreating and dropping stuff.
04:44 <Cepheid> You can also escape through the stairs at floor one just fine.
04:44 <Schism> But the most severe failstate should always be the default.
04:44 <Cepheid> Escape in a safe manner, or kill the boss. Any other approach is treated as failure.
04:46 <Cepheid> Can you imagine being on floor 98 and not having a wire?
04:46 <Cepheid> Or any means of surviving the boss?
04:48 <Schism> Way too easily.
04:48 <Schism> I /have/ played Demon Stalkers, you know.
04:49 <Cepheid> And from my understanding of MD games, such dungeons exist. Including dungeons that remove all your items, money, gear and reduce your level to 1.
04:49 <Cepheid> Otherwise known as True Roguelike Dungeons.
04:52 <Schism> Sounds about right.
04:52 <Schism> ...wait. Cepheid, have you not seen Demon Stalkers?
04:53 <Cepheid> Nope.
04:54 <Cepheid> Reminds me of Gauntlet.
04:55 <Schism> Yeah, that's the idea. And it has 99 floors, followed by a final boss which ... wwwwweell, if you don't have the right items, is unbeatable.
04:56 <Schism> It was fun, make no mistake, though. And two-player mode was exactly as you'd expect, a mad scramble for items by players scrapping over sides of the keyboard.
05:04 <Cepheid> Heh.
05:04 <Cepheid> Anyhoo I am nodding off. I should get some more sleep.
05:05 <Schism> Rest well, then!
05:11 <Cepheid> Will do.
05:13 <Schism> "You know that trick, where you push your hooves together as hard as you can, and then somepony slaps one of them upwards and you slam your nose into the table because you weren't expecting them to come apart? Yeah, that's judo."

16:02 <ADragonDreaming> ...hmmm...
16:02 <ADragonDreaming> Jihan is back to potentially having girl problems.
16:05 * Schism drips. "It's not hot out there. It is, however, quite sticky."
16:06 <Finwe> o3o
16:06 * Schism also boops Adra. "Of course he is."
16:08 <Schism> And of course Hwan Seong-ah shows up. Lolikeano Milstream will probably appear next... or possibly Sae-Yong Noona.
16:09 <ADragonDreaming> Aye
16:10 <ADragonDreaming> It would be amusing if his mom came back.
16:10 <ADragonDreaming> "Jihan, why is this girl living in our house?"
16:10 <Schism> And asked him very pointed questions about the wards around the house.
16:10 <Schism> And that too.
16:11 <ADragonDreaming> I get the feeling his mom might not even mention the wards.
16:11 <Schism> There's absolutely no way she wouldn't notice them.
16:11 <ADragonDreaming> But she might not let on that she noticed them.
16:11 <Schism> True, true.
16:14 <ADragonDreaming> Also, it seems more and more like Jihan is en route to stand himself above the Abyss
16:15 <ADragonDreaming> oh. Crack prediction:
16:15 <ADragonDreaming> His mom is Gaia.
16:15 <Schism> I think you've predicted that one before. XD;
16:15 <ADragonDreaming> Possibly!
16:15 <Schism> It woooould make a bit of sense, considering!
16:16 <ADragonDreaming> "So, mom, why did you give me a power surrounding games?"
16:16 <ADragonDreaming> "Because you liked playing them so much."
16:16 <Schism> That is pretty much how it went. XD Though I think the Abyss Auction must have given him the creeping willies when he got to the website.
16:17 <Schism> "It's... it's like an MMO cash shop..."
16:17 <ADragonDreaming> But anyway. He explicitly rejected the assistance of the Abyss Auction and avoided being beholden to them in any fashion.
16:17 <Schism> That was indeed the wise choice.
16:17 <Schism> Though methinks he's maybe gonna have to deal with the consequences of pissing them off.
16:18 <ADragonDreaming> Quite possibly!
16:18 <ADragonDreaming> But on the other hand, he's demonstrated once again he's not to be trifled with.
16:18 <ADragonDreaming> And now trifling with him risks making trouble with the Church of Masks.
16:18 <Schism> Quite so. And he did manage to handle it without actually killing anyone, or harming the Abyss Auction's customer base.
16:19 <Schism> At least, I assume the Church of Masks is going to be making use of the Auction regularly...
16:19 <ADragonDreaming> Everyone does...
16:19 <Schism> Considering the AA practices human slavery, I'd not be surprised if the CoM buys up a few of their members that way.
16:21 <ADragonDreaming> Hmmm... it would depend on if that fit with her philosophy.
16:21 <ADragonDreaming> They might do so but I imagine it would be presented as liberation.
16:21 <Schism> Well, yes, of course it would. But the Church of Masks would, in turn, get more mages, and more to the point, get willing mages.

16:45 <Cepheid> I only just asked them a few weeks ago to put me on their do-not-call list.
16:45 <Cepheid> Apparently that list gets cleared on a regular basis.

16:49 <Schism> It's absurdly sparkly.
16:50 <Schism> And far better than the Omnitome and Cognitome.

16:51 <Schism> No good, I never bought one of those.
16:51 <Schism> Lumin uses them, though.
16:55 <Cepheid> I am strangely exhausted. It's not a standard exhaustion either.
16:56 <Schism> Is it the kind of exhaustion where you woke up and your sheets were completely soaked through with sweat?
16:58 <Cepheid> No, the type of exhaustion where I've been sleeping for 8 or so hours, but I feel like I haven't slept at all, and I feel strangely warm all over and light as a cloud.
16:58 <Lumin> I use one of what?
16:59 <Schism> Facebooks.

17:05 <Lumin> sold the one I got for 1.8m

18:09 * Cepheid checks to see what is open and available for ordering from.
18:10 <Schism> Why not pho?
18:11 <Schism> Also, Cepheid? You're not feeling well, and you're hungry. Make yourself some scrambled eggs before you order out.
18:11 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:11 * Cepheid noms an apple.
18:11 <Schism> I'm not even kidding, eat some damn protein. :P
18:11 <Cepheid> I'll likely not order out, actually. I just feel too... lazy about it.
18:11 <Schism> Scrambled eggs are lazy.
18:12 <Cepheid> I know.
18:12 <Schism> Or an omelet. With tomato and grated cheeses.
18:12 <Cepheid> I'm just saying.
18:12 <Schism> Or eggs served atop burnt toast with scrapings of butter and black coffee alongside.
18:12 <Cepheid> Honestly I'll probably just do the usual. Tomato soup, watered down, with various hot sauces mixed in.
18:13 <Schism> You've been eating a lot of that, lately.
18:13 <Cepheid> Yes.
18:13 <Cepheid> It's good.
18:14 <Cepheid> Also, in regards to all those suggestions..
18:14 <Cepheid> Schism, I'm loopy, exhausted, and too lazy to order out. Do you really want me using a griddle or stove?
18:14 <Schism> Have you considered maybe asking your folks to pick up some chicken breasts and rice, and then frying up the chicken breasts until suitably done, plonking them onto a bed of rice in a casserole dish, adding cream of mushroom soup, and topping the whole in mounds of cheddar, then baking at 350 for a half hour?

18:50 <Cepheid> Since with GensUltimate coming up, I can prepare ahead of time.
18:50 <Schism> I simply offer the idea, because it seems like the sort of game you would really sink a lot of time into.
18:50 <Cepheid> Game supports 3DS->Switch save importing.
18:51 <Cepheid> Normally yes, but I kinda spoiled it in a sense. Watched an LP of it a while back. Though I don't remember much of it, if anything, because I wasn't the one controlling things.
18:51 <Cepheid> I do remember some of the bosses though.
18:51 <Cepheid> Particularly, the snake boss, and this giant orb with tendrils.
18:52 <Schism> So the first 5% of the game.
18:52 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:52 <Cepheid> There was also this one enemy that I recall taking place on a river, and chasing after the player relentlessly or something like that.
18:52 <Schism> No, seriously. Snake boss is the first one, and... no, that's not a river. That's a minecart ride.
18:52 <Cepheid> Strange. I recall water being associated with it.
18:53 <Cepheid> Guess my memory is shot.
18:53 <Schism> No, the background probably threw you off.
18:53 <Cepheid> I also recall a lot of obfuscated mapping.
18:53 <Schism> Well, that at least is accurate.
18:54 <Cepheid> With one area in particular being *REALLY* bad.
18:54 <Schism> Endless Corridor, yes. And the Twin Labyrinths.
18:56 <Cepheid> And a faint memory of a "hell" area. Only that it exists. I can't recall what was there. I presume eternal pain and damnnation in the form of a game.
18:56 <Schism> Kindasorta, yeah. Well, then, so long as you don't remember how any of the areas connect, how any of them are unlocked, or what to do when you're in them, the game isn't ruined for you.

18:57 <Cepheid> I don't. I just recall a few of the bosses, that there are some confusing layouts, a hell area, and some other stuff.
18:58 <Cepheid> In particular, lots of death, a convoluted layout because of non-euclidean stuff, and a *BIT* of the story.
18:58 <Cepheid> Namely that the entire place is supposedly a living entity or something like that.

21:08 <Cepheid> Death of a thousand needle picks. Mount Tetsucabra, stab it enough, it flops over.
21:08 <Cepheid> I run over, tap it once with my teeny sword, it keels over dead.
21:33 * Schism flops in, nomming upon a chicken caesar sub with approximately all the veggies.s
21:33 * Cepheid flops off to take a shower, himself.

21:55 <Cepheid> Fortunately what I have isn't contagious.
21:56 <Lumindia> I was given adrenaline during my procedure yesterday to keep bleeding to a minimum... I think I might have had an adverse side effect to it
21:57 <Cepheid> Procedure? For what?
21:57 <Cepheid> And what symptoms are you suffering?
22:01 <Cepheid> Oh right.
22:02 <Cepheid> This game includes some particularly ancient regions.
22:02 <Cepheid> Like the 2nd gen Swamps.
22:11 <Cepheid> That is one dead disco chicken.
22:12 * Starlight_Glimmer holds Lumindia tightly
22:14 * Lumindia squeaks!
22:24 * Cepheid throws a violent birb at Lumindia.

22:30 <Lumindia> hjrlgherlg
22:30 <Lumindia> why am I being clung to?
22:31 <Lumindia> and why is there a bird attacking me?
22:31 <SunsetShimmer> you're in this chat, you know it happens. :P
22:32 * Starlight_Glimmer throws a rock at SunsetShimmer
22:32 <Starlight_Glimmer> Being in a Safari Zone that was perfectly justified ;)
22:36 * Cepheid hunts for bugs and rocks on Lumindia's head.
22:36 <Lumindia> '-'
22:36 <Lumindia> Can I help you?
22:37 <Cepheid> I need 10 Royal Rhinos and 5 Auristone Pieces.

22:54 <Lumindia> yeah

22:55 <Lumindia> k e k
22:55 <Cepheid> Essentially, Royal Rhinos and Auristone Pieces are what is referred to as "Account Items." As in, when you return to town, they're turned in for money, etc.
22:55 <Cepheid> Some quests, especially in the earlier ranks, require you hunt them down and turn them in. They can be a pain to find.

23:14 <Cepheid> Welp.
23:14 <Cepheid> I need a new 3DS charger.
23:14 <ADragonDreaming> Whelp
23:15 <Cepheid> My cat chewed through it enough that I have to twist and finagle the cable to get it to work.

23:16 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: I carted on Great Maccao, but I went and did Barioth in the demo. I managed it with ease.
23:17 <ADragonDreaming> Blame the controller.
23:19 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:19 <Cepheid> Valstrax, I won't be able to take out alone.
23:19 <Cepheid> Appears to be setup for multiplayer fighting, and it hits like a rocket-propelled truck.
23:20 <Cepheid> https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/monsterhunter/images/f/f1/MHGU-Valstrax_Render_001.png/revision/latest?cb=20180705170900 Those are effectively rocket boosters on it's back.
23:29 <Cepheid> Oh good gods the taste of this stuff, I forgot.
23:37 <ADragonDreaming> Exit, pursued by a bear.
23:40 <Cepheid> Hmm?
23:41 <ADragonDreaming> https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5LjONXqkJsk/UPWBHfGLQJI/AAAAAAAANYQ/Np69IyJjMfI/s640/exit-bear.jpg
23:41 <ADragonDreaming> I couldn't find one with Arzuros quickly.
23:41 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:42 <Cepheid> Basically, in my only fight with the Valstrax, one of it's attacks took off 80% of my health. Otherwise, it mostly seems focused around high-speed dashing attacks and some long-range stuff.
23:42 <Cepheid> Inflicts a status I couldn't immediately identify.
23:42 <ADragonDreaming> Curse.
23:42 <PinkieShy> Heh
23:42 <Cepheid> Oh, it's Dragonblight.
23:44 <Cepheid> Apparently, it's title in the English version of the game is "Argent Comet" which is apparently just a fancy way of saying "Silver Comet." Or, if you want to be silly, "Money Comet"

23:47 <ADragonDreaming> 300 Twinkling Titanite needed.

23:49 <Cepheid> Dark Souls?
23:49 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.
23:50 <Cepheid> What do you need 300 Twinkling Titanite for?
23:50 <ADragonDreaming> actually, 310.
23:51 <ADragonDreaming> To fully upgrade all of the equipment I currently have that is upgrade by Twinkling Titanite.
23:51 <Cepheid> ...
23:51 <Cepheid> Anyone ever suggest that you might have an OCD problem of some sort?
23:51 <ADragonDreaming> See, the thing is
23:51 <ADragonDreaming> This is what I would like to do
23:52 <ADragonDreaming> But because it is going to take a very long time
23:52 <ADragonDreaming> I will not do it.
23:52 <Cepheid> Okay then.
23:52 <Cepheid> 'Cause I was gonna say. 310 twinkling titanite would probably require several NG+ runs.
23:52 <ADragonDreaming> Nah
23:52 <ADragonDreaming> Just a very long time spent throwing fire at clams in the Crystal Cave
23:53 <ADragonDreaming> Which I'm bored of now.
23:54 <Cepheid> Oh, right. I forgot about those.
