00:00 <Cepheid> Can't decide which weapon I like with it more though. SnS benefits from the mobility, but the number of attacks and range in the air is limited. One attack. Long Sword, I tried earlier. Two, maybe three attacks in mid-air, good range. And the ability to increase its damage is nice.

00:03 <ADragonDreaming> Is it that the jaw starts wobbling that you know you've broken Hermitaur's skull sheel?
00:03 <ADragonDreaming> *shell?
00:04 <RazorSharpFang> I afked for too long in Minecraft, died whilst wearing my best diamond equipment, all lost. Dang it, I'm bad at this.

00:10 <Cepheid> Far as I can remember the shell outright breaks and disappears. It will then dive after a bit and surface with a new shell.
00:14 <ADragonDreaming> Iodrome axe poisoned it quite a few times.
00:17 <Cepheid> Oh. I'm wrong. I confused it with the Shogun Ceanataur.
00:18 <Cepheid> Looks like... Left protruding horn breaks off, then either part of or the entire jaw breaks.
00:19 <ADragonDreaming> ah
00:20 <Cepheid> Mmm... No. The main horn breaks as the second break. Image was misleading.
00:20 <ADragonDreaming> ah, so I broke it once
00:26 <Cepheid> Would explain why i thought i couldn't bust its shell earlier. Confused it for Shogun.
00:26 <Cepheid> Shogun's shell breaks off completely, leaving a massive weakspot for great damage.
00:28 <Cepheid> Likely gonna be out soon. Nodding off.

05:19 <RazorSharpFang> You could always make a vegetarian (not vegan, 'cos egg) quiche, Thelema5. Egg is usually a key ingredient in savoury quiches.
05:19 <PinkieShy> Just some people making me feel worthless.
05:19 <Thelema5> Yeah, but lazy
05:20 <RazorSharpFang> Quiches are one of the easier recipes though. Still too much?
05:20 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, no one can make you feel worthless but you. People suck. Ignore them.
05:20 <RazorSharpFang> I'm really good at it though
05:20 <Moongoodboy{K}> PinkieShy: please don't encourage WalMart to increase its profits. :(
05:20 <Thelema5> RazorSharpFang, maybe not, but a bit calorie dense. I'm trying to lose weight
05:21 <RazorSharpFang> Ah yes. The pastry is very good at making one pack on the pounds.
05:21 <Thelema5> Also the eggs, and the cheese especially
05:22 <RazorSharpFang> I'd say the pastry vastly outweighs the effects of the eggs and cheese combined re weight gain.
05:22 <Thelema5> Could be.
05:22 <Thelema5> Might be all that butter XD

07:57 * ConfusionRift checks his phone and starts laughing hysterically.
07:58 <ConfusionRift> Well well, it seems the overnight manager is dealing with a customer that "urgently" needs paint. It would be a shame if the machine was out of order. Oh wait, it is!
07:58 <Schism> Gasp. A pity, that.
07:59 <ConfusionRift> The service request was sent the 26 of last month, and they were supposed to arrive on the 29th. They have not shown up yet.
07:59 <Koopz> D:
08:00 <ConfusionRift> In the meantime, the machine has developed more irritating tendencies, like causing windows 10 to BSOD each time I do something. And I mean anything.
08:01 <Schism> Thaaaaat sounds like something like a busted chipset.
08:01 <ConfusionRift> The last thing was a keyboard driver error or corruption. Now the keyboard doesn't work.
08:01 <ConfusionRift> The frigging machine is new!
08:02 <Schism> ... that is one impressive set of failings.
08:02 <ConfusionRift> It doesn't even have a year! Then again, it proves that an i3 7th Gen is just not good enough for the little work we do.
08:04 <ConfusionRift> It's running 24/7, and I think i3s run hot, so that might be the issue.
08:07 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, just remembered a small but really aggravating detail. The system came with a diagram telling me where to put each cable. A single cable. and I mean A SINGLE SOLITARY CABLE that pops out of place, and the paint system will not work.
08:08 <ConfusionRift> That might be another cause of all the issues.
08:08 <Koopz> should've put an Alpenföhn on that socket
08:18 <ConfusionRift> It's so dumb.

08:26 <Koopz> with an Alpenföhn Brocken there'd be no overheating problems
08:26 <Koopz> you probably wouldn't even need a fan ;D
08:27 <ConfusionRift> Here's another issue. The store during the evening turns into an oven. Also, can't do anything to the system since it's company property.
08:33 <Koopz> hmm... remove sidepanels from system, setup room fan on one side
08:34 <ConfusionRift> It's a Dell, so it probably has one of those counterintuitive "cooling systems" that don't do a darn thing other than help it absorb more heat.
08:34 <ConfusionRift> Can't. "Property tampering".
08:36 <Koopz> eww...
08:37 <Koopz> alright... put a vacuum cleaner on the fan opening at the back
08:41 <Koopz> i suppose the system is just standing around somewhere in the room, eh? not inside a server rack which could be filled by AC-cooled air
08:41 * ConfusionRift sighs. "Can't do. That vacuum would be store use cost, and I know anything I tell them will not go by. It won't be approved, and the system ain't mine."
08:42 <ConfusionRift> It's actually in the open, unobstructed. Problem is the heat within the area.

09:17 <Schism> Hehe, reading fiction. The standard adventurer's bypass... what do you do with a door set in a wall, a door which has been enchanted to such an insane degree that it's impossible to force?
09:19 * ConfusionRift turns the knob, and the door opens.
09:19 <ConfusionRift> Well then...
09:19 <Schism> Well, there's that, but if the door itself is heavily sealed...
09:19 <Koopz> DM didn't say the knob was sealed
09:20 <ConfusionRift> ^ :P
09:21 <Schism> Bah. :P The adventurer's bypass is just to tunnel through the wall instead.
09:22 <Koopz> if the knob was sealed i'd either make a hole next to the door using explosives or my bigass war hammer, yeah
09:23 <ConfusionRift> Just kick the door! The hinges aren't sealed either. :P
09:23 <Koopz> depending on my INT status i might as well headbutt my way through
09:23 <Koopz> "use your head!"
09:24 <ConfusionRift> Why do I picture a mage using their magic to open the door, and once inside the warrior just headbutts the wall next to it and gets in?
09:25 <Schism> Sounds about right. "The door was open, you know."
09:25 <ConfusionRift> "But... how... and you... oh, why do I even bother."
09:25 <Schism> https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThereWasADoor
09:26 <ConfusionRift> And then the warrior just goes "Oops, sorry, hold on.", goes out the door, closes the door, and then reopens it and gets in.
09:29 <Koopz> or he grabs the door handle and accidently rips the whole door out of the wall
09:29 <Schism> In at least one work I follow, the adventurers realized that the door was made of heavily-enchanted unobtainium, and decided to simply take it with them.

09:58 <ConfusionRift> Yep, like comparing a Ford Pinto and a Toyota Prius. :P
09:59 <Nuclear> I still can watch VHS even via composite and still enjoy it.
10:00 <Nuclear> Even though VHS is natively S-Video, and my VCR supports that and component output. I will compare that next time
10:01 <ConfusionRift> There's something about older media. Maybe it's nostalgia or something of the sort. I can still enjoy them as well. Well, enjoyed them. New TVs no longer use component, and some only use HDMI.
10:01 <ConfusionRift> Yay for upscalers!
10:02 <Nuclear> Yeah, although I would prefer to use a CRT, which uses scanning electron beams for drawing images, instead of a fixed-pixel display using a multiplexed array of pixels changing states to draw an image.
10:03 <Nuclear> But, yes, it's definitely nostalgia for me.
10:04 <ConfusionRift> VCR will work best on composite or component with a CRT. The other issue is that LCD/LED will stretch the image, creating even more image noise.
10:06 <Nuclear> Yes, which is why only the best scaler with the least amount of latency and signal noise is absolutely required when processing footage for display on a fixed-pixel panel like an LCD, plasma, or O(LED).
10:08 <Nuclear> A proper CRT monitor/television set (direct-view or rear-projection, standalone projector; or, a laser projector that uses a scanning method like flying spot scanners, can draw the best-looking image with the least latency.

11:54 <Lumindia> so
11:54 <Lumindia> ever hear of a game called Boyfriend Dungeon?
11:55 <Cepheid> Tetsucabra is based on construction machinery.
11:56 <ConfusionRift> There's a brute in Generations that's a sword.
11:56 <Cepheid> Their inspiration for monsters isn't just animals. It's buildings, machinery and other stuffs.
11:56 <Lumindia> oh yeah
11:56 <Lumindia> the mantis that makes a giant bloody mech?
11:57 <Cepheid> A sword. That would probably be Glavenus/Dinovaldo.
11:57 <ConfusionRift> I know, I was just thinking that... wait, Capcom, yeah.
11:59 <ConfusionRift> Uragaan and Radobaan are basically a tires.
12:00 <Cepheid> I wonder what Lagiacrus is based on.
12:03 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, by an angle, it gives it that usual Loch Ness monster.
12:04 <Cepheid> Along with electric eel.
12:05 <Cepheid> Hmmm. We need a ghost/monster hunting game mixed with jump-scare/cryptid/dark horror themes.
12:06 <ConfusionRift> Like what? Getting haunted by the monsters you previously killed? Hmmmmmm.
12:06 <ConfusionRift> Oh... ooooh... just thought of something about that.
12:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Hipster Trixie Poetry Jam [ http://tinyurl.com/yc2jxrjs ]
12:08 <ConfusionRift> Uuurgh, like something dying and falling into the Rotten Vale, and then experiencing some sort of mutation in which it becomes a carrion like Odogaron. Decaying flesh and all.
12:09 <Lumindia> that would be cool
12:10 <ConfusionRift> Never mind, they did something like that already. An elder dragon called Vaal Hazak.
12:11 <ConfusionRift> Yep, that's easily nightmare fuel.
12:14 <Cepheid> I was thinking more like you would traverse dark, spooky environments. Haunted mansions and the like, and the monsters presence would cause poltergeist like effects. Items moving when not in view, spooky sounds. Shadows you can't make out in the distance. This stuff would happen while you seek it out, and whenever it runs away to a new area.
12:14 <ConfusionRift> That would be interesting.
12:15 <Cepheid> But yeah, zombie vrus would also be fun too, randomly in 2 or 3 monster hunts.
12:15 <ConfusionRift> They pull off a Gypceros. :P
12:16 <Cepheid> Kill one monster# harvest its corpse, move onto the next one. Minutes into the battle, you hear an unearthly screech, and a decomposed version of the monster you killed attacks.

12:22 <ConfusionRift> Man, that was... kinda sad. Those barrels were overkill. :P
12:22 <Cepheid> Anything is overkill for a Great Jaggi.
12:22 <Cepheid> It is equivalent to the Dromes and Great Maccao.
12:23 <ConfusionRift> You are not wrong. Very shorty after leaving those Jaggi quests, it just becomes a very large plush.
12:23 <Cepheid> In MHWorld, not sure. But i remember during the beta there was this water critter that you could fight. Looked like an oversized ludroth.
12:23 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, the fish... I forget its name.
12:24 <Cepheid> Pretty sure that is the weakest large monster
12:24 <Lumindia> Jerry
12:24 <Lumindia> we call him Jerry
12:24 <ConfusionRift> Jyuratodus
12:24 <ConfusionRift> Sorry, Jerry.
12:24 <Lumindia> like I said, his name is jerry
12:24 <ConfusionRift> That one is just a plushed Plesioth.
12:25 <ConfusionRift> Not exactly weak, just real easy to deal with.
12:25 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:26 <Cepheid> As for MHWorld being behind the times on Steam, though, I'm not surprised.
12:26 <ConfusionRift> You can dodge it even by fumbling.
12:26 <Cepheid> Arguably it does have a benefit in the long run, though.
12:27 <Cepheid> Namely, any updates received on consoles first will receive considerable testing and balancing before hitting PC. But I get the impression that at some point, MHWorld on the PC will be "version matched" with the console releases.
12:28 <ConfusionRift> They have to.
12:28 <ConfusionRift> It would be dumb if they didn't, and would hurt them pretty badly.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> Oh... oooooohhh. Who know if we'll get mods at some point.
12:29 <Cepheid> Given what's happened with the PC release, I'm pretty sure their reputation's also on a pretty thin line.
12:29 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Allllready happening.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> Heh, not surprised.
12:29 <Cepheid> People have made mods to replace the flag in the village with their own country flags, etc.
12:30 <Cepheid> Which concerns me greatly.
12:30 <Lumindia> why is that a bad thing?
12:31 <Cepheid> Because people will probably be able to modify the game for cheating.
12:31 <Lumindia> if it becomes an issue I'm sure capcom wil do something abou tit
12:31 <Lumindia> about it*
12:31 <ConfusionRift> Oh, but that's something that could happen in any online game.
12:31 <ConfusionRift> Just stay away from the weird crowd.
12:32 <Cepheid> That's true, but it's usually resolved by having the game be purely online-only, or through application of a punkbuster-like application.
12:32 <Cepheid> Lumindia, that reminds me. How is the game handled on the PC? Do you have to log in before you can play, even single-player?
12:33 <Lumindia> when you say 'login', what do you mean?
12:33 <ConfusionRift> Well, I know on PS4 is not necessary to login. I would suggest it to get free items.
12:33 <Cepheid> Does it appear to do any sort of connecting to an external server?
12:33 <Cepheid> That is, before character selection.
12:34 <ConfusionRift> There should be an offline mode.
12:34 <Lumindia> you pick your character first, then you're given the option to either create an online session or join one... but it does have a fallback offline mode if things bork
12:34 <Lumindia> not sure how to access offline more without that, but meh
12:34 <Cepheid> Characters are saved client-side, then, sounds like.
12:35 <Cepheid> Which is a terrible idea in a crafting-heavy game like Monster Hunter.
12:35 <Lumindia> also, last chance to get the wiggler helm
12:35 <Lumindia> at least for the foreseeable future
12:35 <Cepheid> There'll be other chances.
12:36 <Lumindia> Where's my Dragonator?!
12:37 <Cepheid> Underwater, in an ancient sunken ruin.
12:37 <Cepheid> With an Abyssal Lagiacrus attacking you while you try to get to it.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> If it's like the PS4, the login is right after you select your character. If all goes back, or you disconnect from PSN for whatever reason, it should fall into offline mode. EVERYTHING is available to you, except the SOS response, certain event quests, and the other obvious online features.
12:38 <Cepheid> I'm going to assume that MHWorld on PC uses an anticheat system.
12:39 <Cepheid> Unfortunately those generally only protect against manipulation of the executable at runtime when dealing with multiplayer.
12:39 <Cepheid> It doesn't protect against save file modification.
12:40 <Cepheid> I have literally no idea how Capcom is handling it, and if their approach is "We expect players to play fair" then they're just idiots.
12:41 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/96e47v/so_cheaters_are_already_here_now/ Apparently it's already happening.
12:42 <ConfusionRift> Thing is this is a risk that every online game has. And considering Capcom, chances are they won't do a thing about it. Then again, the game was more about playing with your trusties.
12:42 <Cepheid> Yeah, but the SOS system is meant to be used to help other players. What's the point when you can't trust other players anymore?
12:42 <Schism> Mmm... somehow, I'm reminded of Phantasy Star Online.
12:42 <Cepheid> That's basically the issue.
12:42 <Cepheid> When it comes to games like Monster Hunter and PSO, using client-side saving is a mistake.
12:43 <Cepheid> Using client-side hosting is even worse.
12:43 <Cepheid> The only way to keep it remotely fair is to have everything handled by a remote server.
12:43 <Cepheid> Why on earth Capcom would think this approach is even remotely sensible is beyond me. Clearly no one was thinking.
12:47 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, for much the same reason, I don't play with other people in MHGU. What with the Switch having a vulnerability that's impossible to close, cheating is rampant on Switch games.
12:48 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
12:49 <ConfusionRift> I just play solo or offline. We WERE gonna make a team and whatnot to try and beat the game, but all that got thrown out the window. Life's like that sometimes.
12:49 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:52 <ConfusionRift> The dual blader got higher priorities to take care off, the great sword guy left the game completely, and the archer moved to Fortnite/
12:53 <Cepheid> Ah.
12:53 <Cepheid> Honestly though, I just don't see the appeal or point of cheating in an MH game. It's not a competitive game, there's no PvP.
12:53 * ConfusionRift nods.
12:54 <Cepheid> A majority of the game takes place in the murder of monsters and collecting the parts to make the gear.
12:54 <Cepheid> If you're super-powered, there's no need to craft, and therefore, no need to kill the monsters. Even worse, when you can kill them in three or four hits, what's even the point?
12:55 <Lumindia> yeah...
12:55 * ConfusionRift slowly nods.
12:55 <Lumindia> part of the fun for me is all the effort it takes to down one of the baddies
13:04 <Cepheid> FOr the most part, I just tend to stick with people I'm familiar with, but the whole SOS system is kind of ruined for me. No point in using it.
13:07 <Cepheid> I'm hoping at the least it can be disabled, or at least restricted to friends only, etc.
13:07 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/9ctqrt/some_say_hes_still_orbiting_earth_to_this_day/ Ahahahaha
13:07 <ConfusionRift> I think you can restrict it. But you don't have to use it.
13:09 <ConfusionRift> "We shall finish this later. My planet needs me!"
13:10 <ConfusionRift> Oh, by the way, you CAN restrict sessions to only friends or by yourself.
13:11 <Cepheid> Ah, good to know.
13:11 <Cepheid> And XFCE, why on Earth would you even implement such a feature?
13:11 <Cepheid> Alt + Scroll(Which happens a lot using two fingers on a touchpad) causes it to zoom the display in or out. The WHOLE display.
13:13 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, you can also make a session for "Squad Only".
13:13 <Cepheid> Oh for crissakes, university.
13:13 <Cepheid> They changed one of the lecture rooms last minute.
13:13 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: What is a squad, in the context of MHWorld?
13:13 <ConfusionRift> So yeah. There are ways you can strip off the untrusties out of your game.
13:14 <ConfusionRift> A team, basically.
13:15 <Cepheid> Okie then.
13:15 <ConfusionRift> It's mostly for events, since it allows you to arrange large group quests and such.
13:15 <ConfusionRift> Another way of seeing it, they're guilds.
13:15 <Cepheid> Mmm. Zone of the Enders 2 was released on PC.
13:16 <Cepheid> Guilds in MH, interesting. Alas, too bad it'd only consist of mainly one or two other people. :P
13:16 <Cepheid> Lumin and ADra, at best. Can't add Rifty 'cause PS4 don't like cross play.
13:18 <ConfusionRift> And $60 for a game I already have... I dunno.
13:18 <ConfusionRift> Especially when it's way behind the PS4 one.
13:19 <ConfusionRift> Hearing about it having problems with specific chipsets doesn't bode well either.
13:20 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
13:20 <Cepheid> And the internet connectivity problems.
13:20 <Cepheid> However, it's sounding and looking like the PC release is slowly being repaired.
13:20 <ConfusionRift> It better.
13:20 <Cepheid> Still want to know how something like that happens though, when they have a team known for developing PC monster hunter games.
13:21 <Cepheid> I mean sure, they're focused on the Frontier games, but you're telling me that you wouldn't involve any of them in the development of MHWorld?
13:22 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "Man, I'm really tired."

21:34 <Cepheid> I actually ended up wandering around until I found a secluded nook with chairs, broke down for about 10 minutes, calmed down and wandered back out into the madness.
21:34 <Cepheid> I was at the point where the next group of students who I ran across standing in a major intersection, hallway or at the tops/bottoms of stairs, I was going to yell at them to move their butts out of the way.

21:45 <Schism> That, you might think, is good news.
21:46 <Schism> Supposedly the thunderstorm might hit us, too. Whatever the case, after the high of 28 today, I'll be looking forward to some cooler weather.
21:46 * Ali snuggles on Cepheid
21:46 <Schism> Sorry, high of 32 today.
21:46 <Cepheid> Agreed.
21:46 <Cepheid> It was so warm in the school today.
21:46 <Cepheid> By the time I got home, my entire shirt was soaked, 100%, in sweat.
21:46 <Schism> Tomorrow, high of 23, low of 9. 9. That's going to be glorious.
21:47 <Cepheid> I hope the buildings are cooler tomorrow, I'd like to show up to the lecture of the class I'll be TAing for with a decent enough look(That is, not covered in sweat.)
21:47 <ADragonDreaming> let's see
21:47 <Cepheid> MonHan tonight... I'll get some done, but not a lot. I'm gonna be drugging myself up early tonight so that I get up early tomorrow. Like I should have done today.
21:48 <Cepheid> The lineup for books in the bookstore encompassed the entire bloody store in a zig-zagging motion.
21:48 <Cepheid> Getting in was easy, getting out was not, even if you had nothing on you.
21:48 <ADragonDreaming> I'm getting a low chance of precipitation in my area
21:49 <ADragonDreaming> And that's cool re: monhan
21:49 <Cepheid> If what I'm looking at is any indication..
21:49 <ADragonDreaming> I've gotten trapped into making all the available armors.
21:49 <Cepheid> You're in for more than a low chance.
21:49 <ADragonDreaming> this is what I'm being told: https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/detroit-mi/48226/hourly-weather-forecast/348755
21:50 <Cepheid> Right, right. I'm looking at the radar. Says the front's gonna hit you, so you will get rain. How much? No idea.
21:51 <Cepheid> As for MonHan armours, if you need assistance, I don't mind working to unlock quests in Online and then assisting.
21:52 <Cepheid> Oh, there's the rest of the bug armours.
21:52 <ADragonDreaming> well the armors I'm going for right now are all the basic ones from 3* village quests, but if you wanted to hub it up
21:52 <ADragonDreaming> and yeah, there's a lot of armors and equipment that rely on the rare items from meownster hunters and from trading bonuses
21:52 <Cepheid> I needs me 12 wings, it seems for the Bhanabra set.
21:52 <PinkieShy> If someone would unfriend you on a game over you making a threat to report their friend are crashing you does that sound like they weren't really my friend in the first place..
21:54 <ADragonDreaming> Sorry, what's the context again?
21:54 <Cepheid> Just so you know, my Linguistics professor would probably swat you for that sentence.
21:54 <ADragonDreaming> What is it that's being reported?
21:55 <Cepheid> Apparently a crash being caused by something that a friend of a friend made.
21:55 <Cepheid> Which means that it probably breaks the EULA of the game.
21:56 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: What gun do you recommend for poison-shotting bugs?
21:56 <ADragonDreaming> I grabbed the yukumo light bowgun
21:56 <ADragonDreaming> 2 poison l1 shots
21:56 <ADragonDreaming> also easily available
21:56 <Cepheid> Frequency of bug breakage from non-poison damage?
21:57 <ADragonDreaming> Unupgraded...
21:57 <ADragonDreaming> for both Bnabs and Vesps I never broke a bug with a poison shot if it was the first shot.
21:57 <ADragonDreaming> I did poison every time.
21:57 <PinkieShy> ADragonDreaming avatars that over the TOS limit. lol
21:57 <Cepheid> Good to know.
21:57 <PinkieShy> enough to crash someone
21:58 <PinkieShy> possibly enough to even cause a blue screen.
21:58 <ADragonDreaming> ...I'm still not comprehending.
21:58 <ADragonDreaming> Avatar is over the Terms of Service limit?
21:59 <Cepheid> Long story short.
21:59 <Cepheid> VRChat is an application that allows VR and non-VR players to use custom avatars to chat in a room based system.
21:59 <Cepheid> The TOS of the "game" doesn't allow certain types of modifications because they crash people's computers.
22:00 <Schism> See also: Second Life.
22:00 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: Hornetaurs appear to be immune bowguns, or at least I couldn't actually get a shot to hit them
22:00 <ADragonDreaming> Ah, okay. I was missing the context of the platform.
22:00 <Cepheid> PinkieShy, I don't mean to be rude, but you really, really need to start giving context when you discuss anything like this.
22:00 <ADragonDreaming> It is helpful for comprehension, yes.
22:00 <Cepheid> You regularly exclude any and all context, and we cannot read your mind. I only knew because it's something you regularly talk about.
22:01 <ADragonDreaming> Given context, if the friend who is doing the thing that is causing the crashes is _aware_ that doing the thing can cause the crashes and doesn't care, that's jerkish behavior.
22:01 <Sleeping_Nightmares> Eee!
22:01 <ADragonDreaming> If the other friend doesn't like that you're calling out jerkish behavior as jerkish behavior, then you might be better off without them.
22:02 <ADragonDreaming> But all this is general statement.
22:03 <ADragonDreaming> Is there a bug hunt quest in the hub?
22:03 <Cepheid> Also, if my response was a bit snippy, I apologize. I've had a bad enough day dealing with inexplicable abject stupidity that I'm kind of twitchy about certain things.
22:03 <Cepheid> Let me see..

22:32 * Filly_Nightmares skree at bunny
22:37 <Cepheid> Fun fun bun bun.
22:38 <Cepheid> Royal Ludroth next?
22:38 <Schism> Rabbits are evil, every Monty Python fan knows that.
22:38 <ADragonDreaming> poison element sax + element phial means poisoning is fun and effective.
22:38 <ADragonDreaming> Sure
22:38 <Cepheid> Okie then.
22:42 <ADragonDreaming> we capping?
22:42 <Cepheid> murder.
22:49 <ADragonDreaming> I like that he was pushing me along for a bit there
22:50 <Cepheid> Heh.
22:50 <ADragonDreaming> just let me keep slashing at him the whole way
22:51 <Cepheid> Yian Kut-ku or Gypceros
22:51 <ADragonDreaming> Let's hit chicken, I'll get my horn
22:52 <Cepheid> ... Which one's the chicken? They're both birds.
22:52 <Cepheid> Bah, I gotta run for a bit first.
22:52 <Cepheid> Dinner time.
22:54 <ADragonDreaming> okay, I will go beat up a velocidrome then
22:54 <Cepheid> Sounds good.
22:58 <Cepheid> Aaaand back.
22:59 <Cepheid> Actually, I'm gonna shut down the hub momentarily.
22:59 <Cepheid> Reset up my internet connection.
23:00 <Cepheid> Oh, yer still in the hub?
23:00 <ADragonDreaming> yep
23:01 <Cepheid> It's just I have my Switch on 5Ghz, which seems to have a lot of interference when I have it upstairs, so I'ma switch it over to 2.4.
23:03 <Finwe> Good evening, my smallish equines.
23:03 <ADragonDreaming> Just finished. I'll be out in a minute or two
23:04 * Finwe hats on Ali.
23:04 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/flibitijibibo/status/1037011978600898560 Someone linked this to me. Now you have to see this too.
23:06 <ADragonDreaming> okay what does it mean though
23:06 <ADragonDreaming> let me know when hub is back
23:07 <Cepheid> The person is determining if two real numbers are equal by subtracting one from the other, and then attempting to divide 1 by the result. Since this results in a divide by 0 if they're equal, an ArithmeticException is thrown, which they catch, and use to return "true" that the two values are equal. Otherwise, it doesn't throw an exception and they return "false" because they are not equal.
23:08 <ADragonDreaming> ...that's roundabout.
23:08 <Cepheid> Good to go. And yes.
23:09 <Cepheid> They could have just specified "return (a == b);" and be done with it. Though there are intricacies involving real-real comparisons on a computer.
23:10 <Cepheid> Namely, you can get a case where what appears to be a = 25, b = 25, a will not be equal to b.

23:10 <Cepheid> Oh whoops.
23:10 <Cepheid> I selected local play
23:10 <ADragonDreaming> ah
23:10 <Cepheid> Try again now.
23:11 <Cepheid> There we go.
23:13 <ADragonDreaming> oh
23:13 <ADragonDreaming> I meant kut-ku
23:13 <Cepheid> Ah.
23:21 <Cepheid> Not 100% certain, but that may have been the most destructive beating I've ever given a Kut-ku.
23:21 <ADragonDreaming> i'd believe it.
23:21 <ADragonDreaming> You were buffed by a hunting horn.
23:21 <Cepheid> And I kept mounting it.
23:22 <ADragonDreaming> Attack boost.
23:22 <ADragonDreaming> Increases aerial damage.
23:22 <ADragonDreaming> Increases mounting frequency.
23:23 <Cepheid> Next up, Gypcy.
23:23 <ADragonDreaming> Ice and/ore fire.
23:24 <Cepheid> Yup.
23:24 <ADragonDreaming> I don't have a fire sax yet.
23:25 <Cepheid> Oh. Wait, I already got you registered as a friend. Thought internal game list was different.
23:25 <ADragonDreaming> hah
23:25 <ADragonDreaming> I was wondering
23:31 <Cepheid> BLoody..
23:31 <Cepheid> I botched that up.
23:33 <ADragonDreaming> his whatsit is proving hard to break
23:35 <ADragonDreaming> got it at the end
23:35 * Cepheid relearns critical piece of information: Shock traps do not work on Gypceros.
23:35 <ADragonDreaming> ah
23:35 <Cepheid> That should unlock the urgent.
23:35 * Schism randomly rolls over and boops SunsetShimmer with a cornetto.
23:36 <Finwe> Mr Schism.
23:36 * Finwe doffs his USB A–A cable.
23:36 <Cepheid> You register for it first, ADragonDreaming.
23:36 <ADragonDreaming> hmmm, gotta see what to take, though
23:37 <Cepheid> Blagonga.
23:37 <Cepheid> So fire.
23:37 <ADragonDreaming> okay, so I have no applicable element at the moment.
23:38 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I'm just changing weapons just 'cause.
23:40 *** Joins: Personifire (Tilde@Pony-gqv54j.e9al.9fgu.6000.2605.IP)
23:49 <Cepheid> wait
23:49 * Schism headtilts.
23:49 <Cepheid> Thanks for nearly carting me.
23:50 <ADragonDreaming> taht was not me
23:50 <Cepheid> Cats?
23:50 <ADragonDreaming> I drew my weapon but did not attack
23:50 <ADragonDreaming> possibly
23:50 <Finwe> Cats.
23:50 <Cepheid> Well, whatever. It worked.
23:51 <ADragonDreaming> yeh
23:51 <Cepheid> I hate the giant ape monsters.
23:51 <ADragonDreaming> their attacks come out so fast
23:51 <Cepheid> More or less.
23:51 <Cepheid> And they got that stupid frustrating dodging behaviour.
23:51 <ADragonDreaming> yep
23:51 <Cepheid> One more hunt and I'm done for the night.
23:51 <ADragonDreaming> aight
23:51 <ADragonDreaming> bnabs?
23:52 <Cepheid> I need to do the urgent myself.
23:52 <ADragonDreaming> oh right
23:52 <Cepheid> Bnabs should be "Bnahabra Bloodbath" though.
