00:00 <Cepheid> Gypceros hammers for all the kitties!

00:00 <Twilight_Sparkle> I misread the subquest

00:00 <Cepheid> ... This hammer is some Sauron-type [REDACTED].

00:01 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1036403692025466880

00:01 <Cepheid> Seriously.

00:03 <PinkieShy> I'm thinking of looking up how to do mod Undertale.

00:03 <PinkieShy> Replace frisk with a knuckles

00:03 <Ali> With a do you know de whey joke?

00:04 <PinkieShy> Nope

00:04 <PinkieShy> Instead of frisk you find da wae out of the underground.

00:06 <Cepheid> Oh.  Huh.

00:06 <Cepheid> You can dig and travel underground as a cat.

00:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Teepublic Labor Day Sale Going on Now - $14 Shirts and 30% Off Everything Else  [ http://tinyurl.com/ycvvlp6d ]

00:07 <Cepheid> Not gonna put a lot of thought into how that works.

00:07 <ADragonDreaming> yes

00:09 <ADragonDreaming> my cats are very aggressive when it comes to small monsters.

00:10 <Cepheid> Set them to prioritize small monsters?

00:12 <ADragonDreaming> dunno

00:12 <Cepheid> Ah.

00:12 <Cepheid> Well, they're given random prioritizations.  But with the palico dojo, you can change that.

00:12 <ADragonDreaming> yeah

00:13 <ADragonDreaming> I think the main danger with this game will be that there is ... too much of it.

00:13 <ADragonDreaming> Therefore I need to ignore aspects of it so as to not be overwhelmed.

00:15 <Cepheid> Admittedly there is a lot of different things you can do.  And yes, it helps to limit what you focus on, or at least pick and choose what you need.

00:15 <Cepheid> I don't make excessive use of picking the right palicos for every task.  Just give me a balanced pair of cats with weapons and I'm good.

00:17 <Cepheid> Again, don't forget mhgu.kiranico.com for info.

00:19 <Cepheid> Also, remember.  Fishing, you can move the bobber.

00:20 <ADragonDreaming> hmm...

00:21 <ADragonDreaming> I'm gonna move to the tv

00:21 * Schism crafts a lot of HQ Wolfram Ingots. "At 14,000 gil a pop, this should net me a cool half a million plus."

00:22 * Cepheid uses the zoning trick to get goldenfish to spawn.

00:27 <Cepheid> Right, so the cat quests seem to be responsible for a majority of the trading stuff.

00:27 <Cepheid> I just unlocked the Tanzia Fish Market as trader location.

00:28 <ADragonDreaming> ...why is the right hand controller still searching

00:29 <Cepheid> No idea.  I usually just move the switch out and front, 'cause interference.

00:31 <Schism> Hmmm.  "An orange, ███████-brand Phillips-head screwdriver that, when inserted into a screw, will always screw it outwards, regardless of the direction of twisting."

00:32 * ADragonDreaming restarts switch

00:33 <Cepheid> Interestingly, the controllers appear to use firmware that can be updated.

00:36 <Cepheid> Spitfire's now wielding a magical girl wand.

00:36 <Cepheid> Ah right.  I unlock Volcano with 4*.

00:37 <Schism> I choose to believe this is normal.

00:38 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1036412960241934336

00:38 <ADragonDreaming> that's a big sword

00:39 <Schism> Cepheid: You of course mean /meowgical/ girl.

00:39 <Cepheid> .... Yes.

00:40 <Cepheid> And it's a blunt weapon, ADragonDreaming.  The Sauron's Eye thing too.

00:40 <ADragonDreaming> is it the edel rod?

00:41 <Cepheid> F Edel Rod, yep.

00:41 *** Quits: SunsetShimmer (DJPon3IsHer@DJ.Wub.Wub) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

00:42 <Schism> "Make sure Bright doesn't get his hands on this thing again."

00:42 <Cepheid> It was either this, or a book with lower sharpness.

00:43 <Sombra> Merry me, look at this, someone said something in IRC

00:43 <Schism> How do you measure the sharpness of a bo--nevermind, I get it.

00:44 <Cepheid> How in the hell do you sharpen a piece of stone attached to a stick?  In any case, blunt weapons have sharpness, illogical as it may be.

00:44 <Schism> Meh, books make sense.

00:45 <Cepheid> Paper cuts, yes.

00:45 <Sombra> You can't sharpen a stone, you make it sharp by chipping it.

00:45 <ADragonDreaming> hmmm..

00:45 * ADragonDreaming downloads all the item packs. For ... later.

00:46 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure that's not what we're doing, given that our characters pull out a whetstone, then start sharpening the haft(?) of the hammer.

00:47 <Cepheid> Got the brains.  Best go harvest rocks and stuff.

00:47 <ADragonDreaming> ah, the sauces differ dpending on village.

00:47 <ADragonDreaming> am I blind, or is there not a restaurant in Yukumo?

00:47 <Cepheid> There is.

00:47 <Cepheid> It's next to the house.

00:47 <ADragonDreaming> ah.

00:48 <Cepheid> So near the back of Yukumo, off to the left.

00:48 <Cepheid> As for the sauces, yeah.  Palicos are also different depending on region you hire from.

00:49 <Cepheid> Palico quest, large monster on map, volcano.  I'm gonna bet...

00:49 <Cepheid> Iodrome.

00:50 <Cepheid> Is Jack Bright still operational in the SCP canon?  Or did they finally kill him off?

00:53 <Cepheid> So still alive, in a sense.

00:54 <ADragonDreaming> FYI Cepheid I'm going to lag behind you in this game it seems

00:54 <Cepheid> That's fine.  Offline I've usually always been ahead.  Online, less so.

00:55 <Cepheid> There's also the whole "I don't have anything else to do with my life" thing.

00:55 <Cepheid> Should change this week, though.  Wednesday, I start school again, and I'll be taking on a bit of extra work.

00:55 <Schism> Cepheid: Well, the thing about Jack Bright is that he's a soul jar, so he's always going to be 'alive' until someone finally takes the time to throw his damn pendant into a black hole.

00:56 <Schism> And even then, I don't trust him not to possess the black hole.

00:56 <Cepheid> And there goes my luck for the rest of my year.

00:56 <Cepheid> I got a Rustshard.  Turned into Rusted SnS.

00:56 <Cepheid> The probability of this game giving me something I could use from a rustshard is supposed to be nil, or near it.

00:57 <Schism> Yeeesh.  o.o  Nice.

00:57 <Sombra> The stars look very different today

01:00 <Cepheid> I think they're from MH1 or MH2.  Definitely around since the MHFU era.

01:00 <Cepheid> You can get Unique Mushrooms off of 'em if they eat from a patch, I believe.

01:03 <ADragonDreaming> one thing Capcom does right:

01:03 <ADragonDreaming> All the DLC is free

01:05 <Cepheid> Least up until World, anyways.  Even then, it's only cosmetic, though.

01:05 <Cepheid> Few extra war paints, a few extra gestures.  That's pretty much it.

01:10 <ADragonDreaming> hmmm... sword in a stone, eh?

01:10 <ADragonDreaming> looks like a quest-based SNS

01:12 <Cepheid> Hunt a Royal Ludroth for the quest-of-the-day.  I'm getting tired, so this'll be my last hunt I think.  But I think I'll do something fun.

01:12 <Cepheid> Hunt it as a cat. o3o

01:16 *** Quits: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

01:17 <Schism> Meow, don't get too crazy.

01:18 <Cepheid> I geared all the cats up for it.  Water resist, high defense, fire weapons.

01:21 <ADragonDreaming> off to hunt velocidrome

01:24 <Schism> Hmmm.  "A digital folder holding exactly 3000 copies of a single JPG of a cartoon skeleton. The folder cannot be copied, deleted, or edited in any way. It can, however, be moved onto a hard drive. Looking at the folder causes large amounts of stress and fear for the user."

01:24 <Schism> No points for guessing the .JPG.

01:24 <ADragonDreaming> I actually don't know

01:25 <Schism> The skeleton is both spooky and scary.

01:27 <Cepheid> That was easier than I thought.

01:30 <ADragonDreaming> wowie wow wow

01:30 <ADragonDreaming> so, uh.

01:31 <ADragonDreaming> I kinda like the swaxe

01:31 <ADragonDreaming> especially with the hunter arts

01:31 <ADragonDreaming> demon riot to trance slash to "monster is dead"

01:32 <ADragonDreaming> of course it was only a velocidrome, but.

01:32 <Cepheid> Heh.

01:32 <ADragonDreaming> so anyway, yeah, I'm gonna be using swaxes and horns, Ceph.

01:33 <Cepheid> Oh, ADragonDreaming.  Make sure to talk to the Courier in Bherna on a regular basis.

01:33 <ADragonDreaming> or in any village

01:33 <Cepheid> He gives you stacks of random consumables and other items.

01:33 <ADragonDreaming> lifepowders galore

01:33 <Cepheid> Yeah, that.

01:34 <ADragonDreaming> I kind of like that they're just giving you loads of resources

01:34 <Schism> Well, you're still only 3*, right?

01:34 <ADragonDreaming> "The grind is kinda grindy. Here, have a load of things to make it faster."

01:34 <Cepheid> They give you a lot of resources regardless of rank.

01:35 <Cepheid> But yeah, the resources help especially if you're starting out.

01:35 <ADragonDreaming> Of course no free monster parts.

01:37 <ADragonDreaming> my rule so far is, if gathering quest = yes, prowler

01:39 *** Quits: Sombra (obviousconn@Pony-32cs8a.mn.charter.com) (Quit: Leaving)

01:41 <Cepheid> Yeah, pretty much.

01:41 <Cepheid> No bonuses from gear, but they get unlimited use pickaxe and nets.

01:41 <Cepheid> You also can't use fishing bait, but fishing stuff generally tends to be more for gunners.

01:41 <Cepheid> With exception to Scatterfish.

01:41 <Cepheid> Which are used for Barrel Bomb L+

01:43 <ADragonDreaming> but you don't need bait for those

01:44 <Cepheid> Of course, but bait does help.

01:44 <Cepheid> Burst Bait is useful for gathering large quantities of them from the Dunes.

01:44 <Cepheid> https://gfycat.com/DarlingUniformKillifish

01:44 <Cepheid> Can't say cats aren't smart.

01:46 <ADragonDreaming> or trade with that fishing spot

01:47 <Cepheid> Assuming that's viable.  I wasn't able to check it out as I was in the midst of trading items.

01:47 <Cepheid> Anyways, I'm off to lay in bed until I pass out.

01:47 <Cepheid> I shall see you all tomorrow morning.

01:47 <ADragonDreaming> g'night

01:48 <Schism> Sleep well!

01:49 <Cepheid> I'll stick around on my tablet for a bit, but I'll be reading.  I also expect to be out in about 45 minutes.

01:57 <ADragonDreaming> Bulldrome down

01:57 <ADragonDreaming> The swaxe is a big heavy weapon that slows you right down when drawn

01:58 <ADragonDreaming> for all that, it's a surprisingly mobile style of play

01:58 <Schism> I see you spell it 'Swaxe', and I parse it as 'Swayze'.

01:58 <ADragonDreaming> it's short for switch-axe

02:03 <Cepheid> I call it the SAx.

02:03 <Cepheid> 'cause calling it the name of an instrument is fun. o3o

02:04 <ADragonDreaming> They're triggering my collector's instinct, Cepheid

02:04 <ADragonDreaming> what with the regional armors and such

02:04 <Cepheid> Heh.

05:32 * Finwe doffs his hat.

05:32 * Thelema5 salutes

05:33 <Finwe> Only some grocery stores are open 24/7.

05:35 <Thelema5> Walmarts are pretty universally open 24/7 here, and most allow overnight parking of vehicles like campers, RVs, and even homeless people living in cars... they allso offer free in-store wifi; it's a great way to attack extra business

05:35 <Thelema5> *attract

05:37 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 i got a e-mail from waffle house :D

05:37 <PinkieShy> blueberry waffles are back!

05:37 <Finwe> When I was kid, all kinds of stores closed latest at 9 p.m. except at 6 p.m. on Saturday and were closed on Sunday.

05:37 <Thelema5> Nice, PinkieShy.  I miss waffflehouse

05:38 <Thelema5> Finwe, that was common when I was living in the Southern US 20 years ago... by 9PM everything was closed and on Sunday there were very limited hours for the few placed that did open

05:38 <Finwe> With the exception of the alcohol monopol stores, which closed at 8 p.m. on weekdays.

05:39 <Finwe> *monopoly

05:40 <Finwe> In a recent change made to the Alcoholic Beverages Act, they were allowed to keep the stores open until 9 p.m. on weekdays.

05:41 <Finwe> At weekends they still have to close by 6 p.m. and are closed on Sundays.

05:42 <Thelema5> To be fair, if you can't manage to get your booze before then you probably shouldn't be drinking

05:43 <RazorSharpFang> lol. My local spirits provider has started offering deliveries

05:43 <Finwe> Grocery stores, on the other hoof, are allowed to sell alcoholic beverages with alcoholic content up to 5.5% every day between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.

05:45 <Thelema5> RazorSharpFang, that's a great idea to keep people off the roads! There's an annual craft beer festival near me which is held next to a train station for the same reason

05:45 <Thelema5> That seems like an arbitrary ABV cut-off

05:45 <RazorSharpFang> Potentially lol

05:46 <RazorSharpFang> I found it weird how they're advertising to me, someone who never drinks.

05:46 <Thelema5> Heh

05:46 <Finwe> Thelema5: It's the upper limit of strong beer class IV A.

05:46 <Schism> Wouldn't it be a bit more strange if they didn't advertise to you, as they'd /know/ you didn't drink?

05:47 <RazorSharpFang> Not in the era of Google

05:47 <RazorSharpFang> And Facebook

05:47 <Thelema5> Probably conversion advertising.

05:47 <Finwe> Google and Facebook tell everything about you to the advertisers.

05:47 <Thelema5> This guy doesn't drink... lets make it easier for him so he starts!

05:47 <ADragonDreaming> even in the era of google and facebook... how would the data indicate someone making the decision not to drink?

05:48 <ADragonDreaming> as opposed to simply not following alcoholic advertising options?

05:48 <Thelema5> Facebook pixel points, voice data tracking, content indexing, browsing habits, profiling

05:49 <ADragonDreaming> sure, but that stuff mostly tracks what a person looks at

05:49 <ADragonDreaming> how would track an absence?

05:49 <ADragonDreaming> *one

05:49 <Thelema5> Show my ad to: people over 21 who are employed, within 25 miles of my store, and who have no history of browsing alcohol related content...

05:50 <ADragonDreaming> That said, I have all that stuff blocked as much as possible.

05:51 <ADragonDreaming> especially the facebook pixels.

05:51 <Finwe> On my Android phone I use VPN in which the ad servers simply do not exist.

05:52 <ADragonDreaming> i don't use my phone for browsing

05:58 <Thelema5> I tell data aggregating AI's all my problems verbally and let them find me solutions XD

06:04 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 the self checkouts were the busiest thing in walmart..

06:04 <PinkieShy> They only had like 4 open lol

06:05 <PinkieShy> 1 regular register and there was a guy in front of me that made me leave the line to go to the self check out >.>

06:05 <PinkieShy> the guy in front had like a buggy so full it was almost stuff falling out lol

06:05 <FruitNibbler> We have self-check-out things installed in one of the grocery shops

06:05 <FruitNibbler> They all borked within a month

06:05 <FruitNibbler> Also a lot of thefts

06:07 <Thelema5> They're pretty common here but I refuse to use them, they're reducing the number of jobs available for low-skilled people

06:07 <FruitNibbler> Kinda defeats the purpose when you need a cashier on a self-checkout in order to prevent theft, doesn't it?

06:07 <Thelema5> Here they usually have 1 employee for every 4 self-checkouts, that's a 75% labor reduction

06:10 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 they are a must here..

06:10 <Thelema5> Why?

06:10 <PinkieShy> Walmart at carolina forest and conway usually only has like 3 or 4 regular registers open

06:10 <PinkieShy> Welcome to the robotic future :/

06:10 <Thelema5> That doesn't make them a must, though.  They could just staff more registers

06:12 <PinkieShy> I complained before.

06:12 <PinkieShy> The answer it seemed was them getting the self checkout back lol

06:12 <Thelema5> I embrace a robotic future, but basic universal income has to be a thing before we can start shifting production away from labor or there will be great suffering

06:12 <PinkieShy> But that don't really solve the answer.

06:13 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 one good thing the walmart did do though they remodeled, they put the loss prevention office at the front of the store.

06:13 <PinkieShy> So if someone steals they'll be right there able to catch them.

06:14 <Thelema5> That's probably more about deterring theft than catching it

06:14 <Thelema5> Show of force

06:14 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 one of the times i was at carolina forest walmart there was a guy stealing a 32 inch TV.. Had it on the bottom of the buggy and just went out, he must heard me and my dad said that guy is stealing as he looked back at us but the guy started to move faster..

06:15 <PinkieShy> It had the security tag on it...

06:15 <Thelema5> Doh!

06:16 <Finwe> Thelema5: We're on the verge of testing basic universal income.

06:16 <Finwe> There has been a lot of discussion, though.

06:16 <Thelema5> I know!  I'm looking forward to seeing the results

06:17 <Finwe> In my opinion, it would be economically more sound to just give a bunch of money to everyone instead of having an army of officials determining who is entitled to what benefit.

06:18 <PinkieShy> I kinda wanna try Octopus LOL

06:18 <Schism> Octopus is delicious.

06:18 <Thelema5> Finwe, I agree

06:20 <Finwe> Thelema5: Would that be a state or federal level thing in the USA?

06:20 <Finwe> USA isn't exactly the model country of social security.

06:20 <Thelema5> Probably federal, since there is a federal labor standard organization

06:22 <Finwe> I recall a recent newsflash on Fox News making fun of the Danish society, when, in reality, it's far more advanced than the American one.

06:22 <Thelema5> I'd love to see the corporations taxed to hell based on production to fund BUI for everyone balanced by the elimination of the minimum wage to offset the gains in automation

06:23 <Thelema5> Fox News is a laughing-stock though

06:24 <Thelema5> No one takes it seriously except nazis and trumpettes

06:24 <Finwe> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSd8ellS52M

06:24 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

06:25 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Fox News Took a Shot at Denmark - Denmark Fired Back (SHOCKING)

06:27 <Thelema5> !link https://youtu.be/nBGfWHIidnU

06:27 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

06:27 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Everything Wrong With Fox News

06:41 <Emmis> aaand back from another day at pax

06:41 <Emmis> i'm hungry T^T

06:42 * Schism offers Emmis a slice of chocolate mud pie, with extra shavings of hazelnut chocolate atop.

06:42 * Finwe offers some bread and cheese to Emmis.

06:43 <Finwe> Well, Mr Schism here seems to have taken a completely different and, in my opinion, much less healty, approach to solving the problem.

06:43 <Schism> It's midnight, an unhealthy snack is far superior.

06:43 <Thelema5> Sounds fine to me

06:44 <Thelema5> Or course, I still need to lose 15 pounds to achieve a healthy weight

06:44 <Thelema5> *of

06:44 <Finwe> But this flax weighs three pounds.

06:45 * Finwe is not impressed by Thelema5's zen.

06:45 <Emmis> Aaaaa That's a lot of food!

06:45 <Emmis> Thanks ya'll

06:45 <Emmis> :3

06:45 <Emmis> I'll eat both /w\

06:47 <Finwe> I should medicate myself and have something to eat, too.

07:01 <Thelema5> Hi there, Phantamanta

07:01 <Phantamanta> O o f. I just registered myself like two days ago and NickServ already deleted my password again.

07:01 <Phantamanta> Hio Thelema5

07:02 <Thelema5> Well welcome back!

07:02 <Thelema5> IRC is not perfect

07:03 <PinkieShy> heh

07:03 <PinkieShy> insurance added 40oz of detergent comparable to tide to their over the counter catalog

07:04 <PinkieShy> Free is free :P

07:04 <Phantamanta> I think IRC hates me. :c

07:04 <Thelema5> IRC hate everyone.

07:05 <Phantamanta> I have two questions. O o f.

07:05 <Phantamanta> One; Are Links allowed here?

07:06 <PinkieShy> I'd say maybe.

07:06 <Phantamanta> O o f.

07:06 <Phantamanta> Then nevermind on the second question.

07:06 <PinkieShy> Depends on some things probably.. check the title for the rules

07:06 <Schism> Just keep it to PG-13 or below.

07:06 <PinkieShy> http://derpy.me/EqDRules <<< Guide and Rules.

07:06 <Phantamanta> I mean, it is PG-7 xD

07:07 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 I used the OTC catalog ot get my dad a few things :)

07:07 <PinkieShy> memory foam for his shoes, and toothpaste :D

07:09 <Thelema5> Memory foam inserts are a double edged sword in my experience... they make walking more comfortable in the short term, but they can affect your gait overall in the long-term

07:09 <PinkieShy> They are helping me :P

07:09 <PinkieShy> I'm flat footed..

07:09 <Thelema5> For instance, i now favor a step pattern which relies 80% too much on my right hip!

07:09 <Thelema5> I am flat footed too!

07:10 <PinkieShy> Since been using them in my shoe for a month now.. My feet feel tight in the shoe, but.. its more comfortable.

07:10 <Thelema5> Short term vs. long term.  Be careful, my friend

07:10 <Phantamanta> Thelema5 I first was like "Why would you eat Memory Foam" only to re-read it and see that you meant it for the feet. O o f.

07:10 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 I also have a bunion on my right foot lol

07:11 <PinkieShy> Insurance wouldn't cover surgery to get that fixed unless it say was so big it was causing me extreme pain.. Most likely..

07:11 <PinkieShy> Knowing the insurance how they do..

07:11 <Thelema5> Also, avoiding surgery by making smart lifestyle choices is definately a thing people should do

07:12 <PinkieShy> There is something I learned i could get for the bunion to prevent it from getting bigger though :P

07:12 <Phantamanta> Welp. I can't say a thing because I have no idea what you people are talking about exept fdor Insurances and Memory Foam.

07:12 <PinkieShy> Its called toe separators.. You put them between your toes so your big toe isn't leaning towards the tow next to it.

07:12 <Thelema5> Did anyone advise you how to avoid getting the bunion, PinkieShy?

07:13 <Emmis> owo

07:13 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 Nope.. Its just noticed it a while back.

07:13 <Phantamanta> Emmis, help me.

07:13 <Thelema5> Preventititive medicine is best

07:14 <Emmis> What happened?

07:14 <Thelema5> Walk right, use the right shoes.... bang!  No more bunion

07:14 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 stuff like this https://drrogo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/FotorCreated.png I could get to prevent it from turning to this https://www.mayoclinic.org/-/media/a17e6eff6e6b45fcb51acdf85c68d58e.jpg given mine is rather small at the moment.. lol

07:14 <Phantamanta> Emmis, get me to my happy place because I have no idea what they are talking about. Aaaaa.

07:15 * Thelema5 repeats... Walk right, use the right shoes.... bang! No more bunion

15:14 <Twilight_Sparkle> I would normally, but I was kept up much of night by cough.

15:15 <Twilight_Sparkle> so I would likely not be able to focus

15:15 <Cepheid> Ow ow ow. A single run of Scatterfish in trading is 200 points.

15:15 <Twilight_Sparkle> expensive!

15:15 <LibrarianofHope_> I know of a good throat relieve here

15:32 <Twilight_Sparkle> intense repeated coughing has a tendency to do that, yes

15:33 <Cepheid> The reason I suspect my asthma meds though is steroids.  Aerosol steroids.

16:36 <Cepheid> Now I need to slam either a Kut-ku into the ground, or a Rathian.

16:36 <Cepheid> Flame Sacs needed.  And a light crystal, so a gypceros.

16:36 * Schism plays taxidermist with giraffes.

16:37 <Cepheid> Heh.

16:38 <Cepheid> As it is, Rathian seems a bad idea.  I won't be able to get the tail off that easily.

16:38 <Twilight_Sparkle> I'm tryin to get some preimum sashimi

16:39 <Cepheid> Remember, you can move the bobber around.

16:39 <Cepheid> It helps for picking out fish.

16:39 <Twilight_Sparkle> aye

16:39 <Twilight_Sparkle> more just them to spawn

16:39 <Cepheid> What location, though?

16:39 <Twilight_Sparkle> area 11 of v hills

16:39 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah, that's the only place to get 'em there.

16:40 * Cepheid gathers items for trapping Yian.

16:40 <Cepheid> Hum, which skill was it that helps me determine status for capture..?

16:40 <Cepheid> Perception and Capture Guru, right.

16:40 <Twilight_Sparkle> perception, yes

16:40 <Cepheid> Looks like the Ioprey/drome set provides it.

16:45 * Schism gets a copy of Susano's orchestrion roll. o5o

16:46 <Twilight_Sparkle> I don't suppose you have a switch, Schism

16:46 <Schism> Sadly, nope.

16:46 <Cepheid> Gargwa Mask + Ioprey/drome set.  Annoyingly there's two Ioprey/drome sets, so be careful which one you craft.

16:47 <Twilight_Sparkle> that's simple, craft both!

16:47 <Twilight_Sparkle> :D

16:48 <Cepheid> Yep.

16:48 <Cepheid> Anyhow, I managed +11 perception, so capturing monsters is easy peasy now.

16:49 <Cepheid> I look utterly ridiculous though.

16:51 <Twilight_Sparkle> The meownster hunter thing will take some ... practice

17:00 <Cepheid> Basic gist is that each cat, based on it's bias, has a different associated colour.  You want to land that cat in the circles of appropriate colours.

17:02 <Twilight_Sparkle> I just meant in terms of the shooting

17:28 <Cepheid> Just spontaneously spawns over Detroit, too.

17:28 <Cepheid> Looks like another spawns just over the area south-west of Toronto, as well.  Nothing here in Ottawa, though.  Not that lucky.

19:34 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, my issue with exhaustion is a combination of apparently a lack of a reasonable amount of sleep, excessive coughing, and general breathing issues.

19:35 <Cepheid> Looking at Kiranico, you need access to 4* before you can make 'em.

19:35 <ADragonDreaming> yeah. let's try out the bulldrome armor

19:35 <ADragonDreaming> I like the look, I gotta say

19:35 <ADragonDreaming> also, let's try out striker swaxe

19:36 <Cepheid> Striker switch-axe?

19:36 <Cepheid> Can't seen to find that one in the database.

19:37 <ADragonDreaming> striker hunting style

19:37 <ADragonDreaming> while wielding switch-axe

19:38 <Cepheid> Oh, heh.

19:40 <ADragonDreaming> hm...

19:40 <ADragonDreaming> palico gear

19:42 <Cepheid> I find palico gear strength is... misleading?  When I did my kill of a Royal Ludroth as a palico last night, it was about on par with the hunter, despite attack and defense being lower.

19:43 <Cepheid> My guess is that the various attacks have higher fractional multipliers compared to standard weapon attacks.

19:43 <ADragonDreaming> well it's more that I now have the resources to create more of it

19:46 <Cepheid> Yeah, and if you trade for materials you can access a lot of the gear.  Worth noting that I've only seen Handsome scraps from 4* and above prowler quests.

20:03 <ADragonDreaming> okay, Cepheid

20:04 <ADragonDreaming> Striker Switch-axe is super good

20:05 <Cepheid> Heh.

20:05 <ADragonDreaming> switch-axe doesn't seem to lose anything in terms of moves, at least not that I use?

20:06 <ADragonDreaming> and the three weapon arts that I have access to have great synergy

20:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: My Little Pony Speedpaint Compilation #40 [ http://tinyurl.com/yab7n2xm ]

20:07 <ADragonDreaming> demon riot is super-mode. sword-mode attacks get stronger, switch gauge depletes over time instead of on swing (but lasts a significant period of time)

20:07 <ADragonDreaming> axe mode attacks won't raise the gauge if demon riot is on.

20:07 <ADragonDreaming> Trance Slash is a strong combo. Does not negate demon riot.

20:08 <ADragonDreaming> energy charge is a quick-refill of the switch gauge, with a horizontal sword slash at the end. this refills the gauge even if demon riot is on.

20:08 <Cepheid> Apparently the changes to SAx with Striker is..

20:09 <ADragonDreaming> against the right monster, this could lead to endless demon riot mode, because striker boosts the arts gauge filling and energy charge doesn't need a lot.

20:09 <ADragonDreaming> DPS all the time

20:09 <Cepheid> Finisher after the "Axe Chops", which I assume is the swinging side-to-side move, is removed.  Sword Mode's double horizontal swings(second A move) is changed to a downward slice.

20:10 <ADragonDreaming> nah, the stamina-draining axe chops are still there.

20:10 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, if there's a change its likely to the sword moveset.

20:10 <ADragonDreaming> but you aren't losing much.

20:10 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

20:10 <Cepheid> Apparently I lose nothing of real value with the SnS if I switch to Striker.

20:11 <Cepheid> I lose the ability to do the back charge.

20:12 <ADragonDreaming> I am getting better at shooting cats from a cannon.
