00:49 <ADragonDreaming> fighting rathian and rathalos, you learn tactics that adapt well.

00:49 <ADragonDreaming> is it possible to break the tail twice?
00:50 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, he was rather big.

11:42 * Schism takes some butter from the freezer, cuts the block in half, and waits for it to thaw. o3o;
11:42 * Schism then considers, and cubes the butter a little more.
12:07 <Finwe> Frozen butter?
12:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Lip Synching - The Pony of Egypt Part 9: Hardening Pharaoh's Heart [ http://tinyurl.com/y8b89uho ]
12:10 <Finwe> Schism: Why would you freeze your butter?
12:10 <Schism> Because we often buy numerous blocks at a time when it's on sale.
12:11 <Schism> Better to freeze butter when it's on for $3 instead of buying it at $5 a block one at a time.
12:12 <Finwe> I'm quite sure that freezing does not lengthen the time needed for butter to go rancid.
12:15 * Cepheid awakens.
12:15 <Finwe> Mr Cepheid.
12:15 * Finwe doffs his hat.
12:16 <Schism> Finwe: How do you figure? Spoilage is just a chemical reaction. Freeze butter = slow chemical reactions = slow spoilage. Right? o3o
12:17 <Schism> S'long as it's sealed, of course.
12:17 <Cepheid> Tonight, I'm going to sleep early. I didn't get enough sleep. x.x
12:17 * Schism offers the Cepheid a hug, and a cup of strong tea with honey and lemon.
12:18 <ADragonDreaming> I'm quite sure freezing butter does, in fact, lengthen the time needed for butter to go rancid.
12:18 <ADragonDreaming> Considering it does so for basically everything.
12:18 <ADragonDreaming> What special property of butter would make it different from any other foodstuff?
12:19 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming, I won't be monhanting as late tonight, probably 8 or 9 at the latest.
12:19 <ADragonDreaming> no worries
12:22 <Schism> Cepheid: Here, have some cactus broccoli. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DmnZ3daVsAAwVXL.jpg:large
12:22 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:23 <Cepheid> I wonder what cactus actually tastes like, assuming it is edible.
12:24 <Finwe> Schism: The foremost advantage of a freezer is that it greatly slows the growth of microbes, but the oxidation causing the spoilage of butter happens regardless of temperature.
12:24 <Finwe> Although it might be a bit slower within certain temperature range.
12:24 <Schism> It remains a chemical reaction, which is slowed by temperature. We still keep said butter /sealed/, of course, to further limit oxidization.
12:25 <ADragonDreaming> This website disagrees with your assessment, Finwe
12:25 <ADragonDreaming> https://www.stilltasty.com/fooditems/index/16649
12:25 <ADragonDreaming> so does this one: http://organicvalley.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/56/~/can-you-freeze-butter-for-an-extended-shelf-life%3F
12:25 <Schism> That's simple thermodynamics, really. At colder temperatures, things move more slowly.
12:25 <Schism> Because motion /is/ heat!
12:25 <ADragonDreaming> So does this one: https://www.dairygoodness.ca/butter/how-to-store-butter
12:26 <ADragonDreaming> So does stackexchange.
12:26 <Finwe> Schism: It's not that simple.
12:27 <ADragonDreaming> so does businessinsider.
12:27 <ADragonDreaming> freeze the sticks you're not actively using
12:27 <ADragonDreaming> keep the one you are in the fridge
12:27 <ADragonDreaming> this is what everything I am finding is telling me
12:29 <ADragonDreaming> apparently, heat, light, and oxygen will speed up rancidity.
12:29 <ADragonDreaming> A freezer is dark and cold.
12:29 <ADragonDreaming> therefore, butter stored in a freezer will not go rancid as fast.
12:32 <Finwe> Our local butter producer tells that butter can be frozen for two or three months.
12:32 <Schism> Is their butter salted?
12:32 <Finwe> Yes.
12:33 <Cepheid> We freeze sticks we're not actively using, and they're stored in freezer sections at stores, so there must be evidence behind it. Either that, or margarine is different from typical butter that allows freezing to work for one or the other.
12:33 <Schism> Oh, it works for margarine too, but we go through margarine fast enough that we don't need to stock up.
12:33 <ADragonDreaming> easy to experiment.
12:33 <ADragonDreaming> Freeze one stick, leave one stick out.
12:33 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/comments/9e6ybk/angry_sweater_floof/ Heh.
12:33 <ADragonDreaming> see which one goes rancid first
12:34 <ADragonDreaming> (hint: the one that was left out)
12:34 <Schism> And, hm, Finwe. There may be differences in means of production. I would guess your local producer doesn't sell the same homogenous, overproduced variety you get in most US and Canadian grocers.
12:35 <Schism> Different modes of production would certainly affect the rate of spoilage - that's not saying that our butter is superior to yours, of course.
12:35 <Finwe> I don't know what they do to the butter in USA. Its coulour is completely different from European butter.
12:35 <ADragonDreaming> They add yellow.
12:35 <Schism> I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bit of annatto added.
12:36 <ADragonDreaming> Don't know how that started, but that's what they do
12:36 <ADragonDreaming> consumer expectation due to the years of this being done is that butter is yellow
12:36 <ADragonDreaming> thus, butter gets yellow added, to meet consumer expectation
12:36 <Schism> Yeah, it looks like annatto is added to butter in the US and Canada, giving it its distinctive yellow hue.
12:36 <Cepheid> Butter here is white-ish.
12:36 <Schism> Not that Europe is immune to doing the same thing.
12:36 <Cepheid> Or, at least the butter we have is.
12:37 <ADragonDreaming> depends where in europe, yeah
12:37 <Schism> I'm thinking cheddar in particular.
12:38 <Finwe> The natural yellow colour should be due to beta carotene.
12:39 <Finwe> If the kine have not been fed fresh grass, the butter will turn out white.
12:39 <Cepheid> Freakin' hells it is cold today.
12:39 <Schism> Cepheid: I'm surprised you're not happier about it.
12:39 <Schism> But I mean, it's only 9C! That's a nice warm day.
12:40 <Finwe> We've had a warmer period for a couple of days.
12:40 <Finwe> 18°C at the moment.
12:40 <Schism> Mm, high of 17 up in Orleans, high of 14 tomorrow.
12:40 <Finwe> Just a week ago the temperatures were closer to 10°C.
12:40 <Schism> Gonna be 16 today and tomorrow here. Also, Cepheid gets rain.
12:40 <Cepheid> Schism: My body doesn't mind the cold, it just doesn't like sudden cold snaps.
12:41 <Cepheid> I get adapted to heat for a while, then bam, sudden cold.
12:41 <Schism> Yup. And you just want to curl back up under the covers for a while longer.
12:42 <Schism> Cepheid: https://imgur.com/a/KZw97Gt - I hate you, Khloe Aliapoh.
12:43 <Cepheid> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DmntxxEV4AA0nfg.jpg I want to make this, now.
12:43 <Schism> I have a 58% chance of getting /nothing./
12:43 <Schism> Which, with FFXIV's RNG, equates to a 99.999% chance.
12:43 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:43 <Schism> Cepheid: Hee. That's an awesome bead arrangement.
12:44 <Cepheid> That's not beads.
12:44 <Cepheid> That's lego.
12:44 <Schism> Oh. Huh!
12:44 <Cepheid> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DmntyYqU8AEEqmD.jpg
12:44 <Schism> Though could be done with beads.
12:44 <Cepheid> Indeed.
12:44 <Cepheid> That said, I could make that.
12:45 <Cepheid> I'd just need to figure out which lego I'd need.
12:49 <Cepheid> Apparently it is Cirno day.
12:53 <Cepheid> Oof, my sister has pneumonia.
12:54 <ADragonDreaming> ouch
12:54 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, my breathing seems to be doing better. Looking like it was either being aggravated by something in my room that I cleaned up, ooooor.... It was the weather.
12:58 * Cepheid takes a looksee at Kiranico to decide what to make, and what quests to complete.
12:58 <Cepheid> Well, right off the bat I should probably finish all villager requests.

13:06 <Astrid> Have you seen my Dragon strongly
13:07 * Schism throws a plush Malfestio at Adra.
13:07 * ADragonDreaming cuddles it, then uses it for parts.
13:07 <ADragonDreaming> How'd you know that was what I just hunted, Schism?
13:07 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: Ah, heh, completed the urgent for 3*?
13:07 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.
13:08 <ADragonDreaming> Astrid: what?
13:08 <Schism> Well, you mentioned the Bistro upgrade, so a quick poke at a search showed me!
13:08 <Astrid> No I didn't
13:08 <Schism> And isn't that the urgent for 4*?
13:08 <ADragonDreaming> You could say it both ways
13:08 <Astrid> No
13:09 <ADragonDreaming> it's the urgent quest that you get after 3* quests, which unlocks 4* quests
13:09 <Astrid> I just want to know if you have seen my Dragon
13:10 <Cepheid> Astrid: We have not, and also, there's multiple conversations going on here.
13:10 <ADragonDreaming> aha, rife roast.
13:10 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: You working today? Or just gaming before wandering off to work?
13:10 <ADragonDreaming> nah, I'm off today
13:10 <ADragonDreaming> it's sunday
13:10 <Cepheid> Could have been working overtime, but alright.
13:11 <ADragonDreaming> I was yesterday, yes.
13:11 <ADragonDreaming> but the desk is straight up closed on Sunday
13:11 <Cepheid> Ah.
13:11 <Cepheid> I'm up for online hunting. At some point I'll have to take about 30 minutes to re-arrange stuff, though.
13:11 <Cepheid> I want to move the router back upstairs so I have a better wired connection for my PC.
13:12 <Cepheid> As for why I don't do that now, it requires multiple people to move the setup downstairs.
13:12 <ADragonDreaming> I'll be up for some online in a bit. I'm checking the villages, then will sort some form of breakfast, and I'm waiting for others to leave the house before moving to the TV.
13:13 <Cepheid> Sounds good.
13:13 <Cepheid> I'll see what I can do about the connection in the meantime then. Maybe I can get it set up sooner so we can use discord instead of bugging everyone here. :P
13:13 <ADragonDreaming> heh
13:13 <ADragonDreaming> I've noticed that it's a lot easier to get yukumo points than the other villages

13:31 <ADragonDreaming> sweet popcorn has its place
13:31 <ADragonDreaming> I just need to be expecting it
13:31 <Cepheid> Honestly, even then Schism, it's still healthier than a lot of the junkfood out there.

13:43 <Cepheid> It's strange, I have Ignite 100, which means maximum of 100mbps. I get approximately 120mbps instead.
13:43 * Schism headtilts, "Did you go back to Rogers?"
13:44 <Cepheid> Never switched.
13:44 <Schism> But yeah, a lot of providers just say '100, give or take X'. Hmm.
13:44 <Cepheid> Rogers hasn't harassed us in some time now.
13:44 <Schism> Ah, that's good to know.
13:45 <Cepheid> Only a matter of time, when their database expunges all "DO NOT CALL" records.
13:45 <Cepheid> The problem is they want to change our contract, but we've kept the current one signed.
13:45 <Cepheid> And they're a bit peeved at us for it.
13:46 <Cepheid> Of course, it's the one regulation they adhere to. The one where they're not allowed to change our contract without our consent. All those other regulations? Eeehhhh.
13:47 <Schism> It's almost as though corporations are fundamentally amoral entities whose only purpose is to gather money.
13:48 <Cepheid> Capitalism works, it's just that modern day companies have taken it a bit too far to the extreme. Extremist capitalists.
13:49 <Cepheid> It also didn't account for general human greed.
13:52 <Cepheid> Companies are doing what they are supposed to do, make money. That money is supposed to be distributed accordingly, but it's not. That's where the concept breaks down. It's the people who invest in companies, and the CEO, that are causing the problems. Investors want money from the company, and the CEO is largely overpaid because of greed. I'm not sure the wages CEOs make correlates to the amount of work they put into the
13:52 <Cepheid> position. This is dumbing things down a bit, I admit, and there's more to it, but it's a general description.
13:52 <Schism> Oh, no arguments. Capitalism just works best when there are checks and balances on the system.
13:53 <ADragonDreaming> unbridled capitalism is broken
13:53 <Schism> Well, IMO anyway.
13:53 <ADragonDreaming> I'd be interested in salary limits on executives that are based on multipliers of the lowest wage in the company.
13:53 <Cepheid> As a result of my views, even with extensive background and training, I'd likely be ousted from any CEO position. My goal would be to make money, sure, but the money would be diverted "improperly" according to investors.
13:54 <Schism> Back into the growth of the business and the well-being of its employees? Heh.
13:54 <Cepheid> More or less.
13:54 <Cepheid> My wage would be about on par with a high-level technician, so probably around $120,000/yr?
13:54 <Cepheid> Thus a majority of the money that normally goes to the CEO would be going elsewhere.

13:55 <RazorSharpFang> Swedish general election today
13:55 <Schism> And investments which would ideally make customers want to remain with your business, rather than forcing them into it.
13:56 <Cepheid> A lot of the problem is greed, and probably nearsightedness as well.
13:56 <Schism> Myopia is a big one, yeah.
13:56 <Cepheid> Yeah, you want your money, but if you think a bit longer..
13:56 <Cepheid> If you invest in the people making the business successful, to keep them around, the business will stay, well, in business.
13:56 <RazorSharpFang> Well, part of the problem is that executives are measured based on short-term performance measures.
13:56 <Cepheid> And continue to make money.
13:56 <ADragonDreaming> I need ... lightcrystals.
13:56 <Schism> "Vetinari had changed all that. He'd made it clear that things worked out better if you kept the pieces the same size relative to one another, but enlarged the cake."
13:56 <Cepheid> Which in the long run means more money for the investors and related individuals.
13:57 <RazorSharpFang> That's the thing though - long run, but they're not measured on the long-term effects, and how can you?
13:57 <ADragonDreaming> in certain cases, too, there's a monopoly problem.
13:57 <Schism> Adra: Hmm, fire, ice, water, earth, lightning, wind... nope, don't have any light crystals. Got some light-attuned aethersand, would that work?
13:57 <Cepheid> That's part of Risk Management.
13:57 <RazorSharpFang> People often debate and question who the current scenario can be attributed too.
13:57 <Cepheid> A course everyone in business should be taking or at least be familiar with.
13:58 <Cepheid> But in any case it's moot for my field.
13:58 <Cepheid> There's a problem among software developers, be it for games or applications.
13:58 <Schism> Cepheid: Risk Management, of course, does not mean 'ignore the risks until they can be ignored no more'.
13:58 <ADragonDreaming> ah.
13:58 <Cepheid> Even if you paid your programmers well, they are going to move to another company. Not a loyalty thing, more just "I'm no longer interested in this kind of programming work." thing.
13:59 <ADragonDreaming> area 9 is the secret area, which you can't get to in low rank.
13:59 <ADragonDreaming> ergo...
13:59 <ADragonDreaming> slickaxes.
13:59 <Cepheid> The average turnaround for a software developer is around 5-6 years. They stick around for that long, then either move to a new project team entirely, or another company. So long-term investments of programmers is... difficult.
13:59 <RazorSharpFang> I don't think the CEO problem is gonna be fixed until we can develop a methodology for properly attributing long term effects properly to effect/effector, and have an incentive for long-term positive effects.
14:00 <ADragonDreaming> Well, one part of the problem can be fixed with a single change.
14:00 <Cepheid> Or you start treating greed as a mental illness to be treated.
14:00 <ADragonDreaming> Salary cap.

14:00 <Cepheid> And it's not that far-fetched to see, either.
14:00 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, you and I both know that our mental institutions could not cope.
14:00 <Cepheid> Greed is effectively a form of hoarding. The target of hoarding in this case being valuable material wealth, money, gold and the like.
14:01 <Schism> Have CEOs be paid in shares, but those shares cannot be traded or cashed out (though they'll still accumulate dividends) until 10 years from their point of origin, thus ensuring that CEOs are focused on activities which will benefit the company in the medium to long term.
14:01 <RazorSharpFang> Schism, if they're ordinary shares, I don't see how you can prevent them from selling them prior to that. You'd be better off delaying the giving of the shares to X duration down the line, but what if the company is brought down earlier by their successor?
14:02 <Cepheid> Simply cutting pay would be...
14:02 <Cepheid> It's likely to have an extreme negative effect, and not in just the conventional sense.

14:03 <Schism> Ah, black market, under-the-table deals which aren't /quite/ the same thing, but close.
14:03 <RazorSharpFang> That's why I specified ordinary shares. I'm not aware of any other types, which could be different.
14:03 <Schism> The darker economy, as it were.
14:04 <Cepheid> Schism: The problem with the shares concept is that by the time the period expires, the company could have gone through an golden era, then suddenly have fallen, due to unforseen consequences. The risk game, again.
14:04 <Schism> RSF: In the US and Canada, there are several types of shares utilized by companies - this may be the same in other countries, it may differ based on tax law. Preferred stock is a different monster.
14:04 <Cepheid> A person puts all that work, then 10 years later, despite the fact the company was doing surprisingly well at one point, is now worthless.
14:04 <Schism> Mmm, that's true.
14:05 <RazorSharpFang> Which is why i think we need to develop a methodology for properly attributing outcomes to their causes (and includes people's judgement calls and policies)
14:05 <Cepheid> A reputation, once damaged, is irreparably damaged.
14:05 <RazorSharpFang> This way we can appropriately give what people deserve.
14:05 <Cepheid> Even if you make up for what happened.
14:05 <ADragonDreaming> I need iodrome violet scales now.
14:05 <Schism> Escrow, likewise - who would then vote on whether the payment goes through? If it's the shareholders, they might retract the payment in order to feed the money back into the corporate accounts.
14:05 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: Same.
14:06 <RazorSharpFang> Well, when companies put it to a vote, it usually goes through.
14:06 <Cepheid> That said, limiting salaries and such also has problems. Assume that greed is, in fact, a mental illness caused by a compulsive need to hoard money and the like.
14:06 <ADragonDreaming> I need 9 of them.
14:06 <RazorSharpFang> I'd totally challenge that assumption though.
14:06 <Cepheid> Simply cutting the salary straight down to a more reasonable level would be akin to cleaning out a hoarder's house without their consent or knowledge, or cutting someone off from a cocaine addiction cold-turkey.
14:06 <ADragonDreaming> Sure.
14:07 <ADragonDreaming> But I don't exactly have sympathy for CEOs.
14:07 <Cepheid> I'm mixed on that front.
14:07 <Cepheid> There are some that try to do good work. There are others who are just plain a-holes, like Elon Musk.
14:07 <Schism> Affluenza is a bit of a curious situation, and isn't widely accepted as legitimate.
14:07 <Cepheid> Is that what I'm describing is called, Schism?
14:07 <RazorSharpFang> Well, remember that monetary worth is kinda like proxy-status.
14:08 <RazorSharpFang> People want status.
14:08 <ADragonDreaming> If the salary cap would be painful like addiction withdrawal
14:08 <ADragonDreaming> than that's a person who should not be a CEO.
14:08 <Schism> In the sense that a person's mental state, including empathy, is negatively impacted by being wealthy.
14:08 <ADragonDreaming> *then
14:08 <ADragonDreaming> Also, the idea I have specifically is that the salary cap is variable.
14:08 <ADragonDreaming> How much does your lowest-paid employee make?
14:08 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: In which case, yeah, they'd probably get replaced.
14:09 <ADragonDreaming> Contractors count.
14:09 <Cepheid> Currently I make like, $24/hr as a TA, I work part-time though. I presume I'm the lowest paid in the hierarchy of the university.
14:09 <ADragonDreaming> Calculate gross income across a year.
14:09 <Cepheid> Given that there can't be anything lower than "student" in the rungs.
14:09 <ADragonDreaming> Your salary as a CEO is based on a multiple of that.
14:09 <Cepheid> At least, when it comes to employment.
14:10 <ADragonDreaming> For temps, you still calculate for them as if they were employed for a year.
14:10 <Cepheid> My university has a bit of a hoarding problem with money.
14:10 <ADragonDreaming> If you need to pay contractors and temps a lower overall wage... best be frugal with your executive salary.
14:10 <RazorSharpFang> The university is hoarding money?
14:10 <Cepheid> Last I checked, they have a lot of money in the bank. More than they conceivably need to build several new buildings or expand the campus.
14:11 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang: Algonquin College meanwhile, in regards to money saved, is actually nearly bankrupt in that regard.
14:11 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe they're expecting a shortfall of student enrolment or something
14:11 <RazorSharpFang> Wait, what?
14:11 <Cepheid> Enrollment keeps going up.
14:11 <RazorSharpFang> Yet they're also bankrupt?
14:11 <Cepheid> The university has several million in the bank, waiting to be used for something, but none of it's been earmarked.
14:11 <Cepheid> Algonquin College on the other hand..
14:11 <RazorSharpFang> Oh two different colleges.
14:11 <ADragonDreaming> which university are you with, Cepheid?
14:11 <Cepheid> They needed funding from the government to even construct a new building.
14:11 <Cepheid> Carleton University.
14:13 <Schism> I'm imagining the Bursar at Carleton opening a gigantic vault door, whereupon everybody gasps at the sight of an empty room, a single dime lying forelorn on a cold cement floor.
14:13 <RazorSharpFang> I wonder if they're looking to start a trust-fund with all that money
14:13 <Cepheid> For an institution that preaches endlessly "Loose lips sinks ships" and "Don't plagiarize or give out information!" the university is surprisingly easy to get info out of.
14:13 <ADragonDreaming> "What happened to all the money!"
14:14 <Cepheid> Professors, instructors and TAs talk quite easily.
14:14 <ADragonDreaming> "We put in into bitcoin."

14:14 <Schism> An there is but one true constant in this world: people are stupid.
14:15 <RazorSharpFang> Wait - but we have people running everything!
14:15 <Cepheid> Are you truly that shocked?
14:15 <Cepheid> It's students, Schism.
14:15 <Schism> I know, I know.
14:15 <Cepheid> Students are starry-eyed, think they're the hottest **** around.
14:15 <Cepheid> Hell, even I fell to that mentality once when I was in college. I know better, now.
14:15 <Cepheid> But these new students? They think they'll be graduating, getting jobs making $250,000 a year instantly.
14:17 <Cepheid> And these are the same students who expect the professors to teach them EVERYTHING about the field. Not just bits and pieces and fragments to get them started. EVERYTHING.
14:17 <RazorSharpFang> You might even call them entitled.
14:17 <Cepheid> I know where you're going with that, and yes, that is the case.
14:18 <Cepheid> But that has applied to every generation of student I've found.
14:18 <RazorSharpFang> Wait, where do you think I was going with that?
14:18 <Cepheid> Even back when I was in college. When my dad was in college he saw the same things. And so on.
14:18 <Cepheid> Calling me an old man because I think the young ones are too entitled? :P
14:18 <RazorSharpFang> I was planning on making a pun of "title" in "entitled"
14:18 <Cepheid> I misread then.
14:19 <RazorSharpFang> But your idea is better.
14:19 <Cepheid> I hate you.
14:19 <RazorSharpFang> (Big Dab)
14:19 <Cepheid> Go feed your cat onions. It'll cure anything it's suffering from. (DO NOT DO THIS.)
14:20 <RazorSharpFang> My cats absolutely detests the smell of onions.
14:20 <Cepheid> Mine not so much.
14:20 <Cepheid> He ate a small amount of onion powder one night. Cue vomiting.
14:21 <RazorSharpFang> iirc onion is bad for cats
14:21 <Cepheid> Toxic.
14:21 <Cepheid> In the sense of farting, pooping, and vomiting everywhere until death.
14:25 <Cepheid> Time to play Rustshard roulette.
14:26 <Cepheid> C'moooon rusted bowgun or bow.
14:27 <Cepheid> 3 shards, not a rusted weapon to be seen.
14:32 <Cepheid> I need to make some rapid fire "general purpose" guns.
14:35 <Cepheid> For Normal L1... That's the Yukumo bowgun. For L2... Demon's Isle, the Rust weapon. For L3..
14:36 <Cepheid> Though, L2, Desert Storm is nice. Fast reload, average recoil, no deviation. Faster reload than Demon's Isle.
14:36 <Cepheid> L3... No rapid fire L3 light bowguns. For that, I'd want Heavy Bowgun.

20:13 <Cepheid> There's these stationary cat brushes. Most of them are vertical, but there's one that's in the shape of a half-pipe.
20:13 <Cepheid> He loves to rub himself up against such stuff.

20:41 <PinkieShy> We prayed that the storm would move north and end up hitting nobody at all.
20:42 <PinkieShy> Talked with my dad about leaving the house.. He agreed we need to.
20:42 <PinkieShy> But we need to find a hotel that'll take dogs.
20:45 <Cepheid> Mrow~ Mrow~ Mrow~ Mrow~ Mrow~
20:45 <ADragonDreaming> mrow
20:45 <ADragonDreaming> I think a number of hotels decrease restrictions in cases of emergency
20:46 * Ali scampers past Cepheid and knocks things over!
20:47 * Cepheid meeps.
20:47 <Cepheid> Just need 3 gendrome hides now to finish off the Gypceros set.

20:49 <ADragonDreaming> working on that, but need to brb
20:50 <PinkieShy> Hey Ali :)
20:50 <Cepheid> 'kay. I'll just be off trying for Demon's Isle.
20:50 <Cepheid> Actually no, I'll get those hides I need.
20:50 * Ali wavies to ponies and guesses Factorio is back on the shelf :P
20:53 <ADragonDreaming> a break from monhan in a few quests wouldn't bea bad thing.
20:55 <Cepheid> Admittedly my body is starting to fatigue a bit from it, yeah.
20:55 <Cepheid> Actually I say we call break time now.
20:56 <RazorSharpFang> I'm still playing Factorio, but i haven't been playing multiplayer in eons.

20:59 <RazorSharpFang> I think Vanilla factorio might be alright for a server if it was rail-world (Expansion off)
21:00 <RazorSharpFang> Enemy expansion ramps the difficulty up a surprising amount
21:00 <Cepheid> Indeed.
21:00 <Ali> Like when they pop up in your dirty zone and start mass attacking
21:01 * Cepheid wanders off to clean room up a bit, make bed, then flop to read for a bit.

21:31 <PinkieShy> It an hour away.. Which is good i guess.
21:32 <Cepheid> Interestingly, MHGU has data definitions for Volcanjc Hollow in low rank but...
21:32 <Cepheid> There is no way to access it in low rank.
21:34 <Cepheid> Probably know about the quest editors now, so they included the data just in case someone got stupid.
21:35 <ADragonDreaming> or for future DCL

21:41 <Cepheid> DL quest lists are different between the Japanese release and English release.
21:44 <Cepheid> We should do some of them Adra. Get the gear for the cats.
21:45 <Cepheid> All hunters get is apparently an Uragaan hunt and lava rocks.

22:06 <Cepheid> In general, it's go out, hunt and kill one or more monsters, harvest their skin, scalp or organs, and turn them into hats, t-shirts and pants. You then take these hats, t-shirts and pants and go out to murder even larger, deadlier and faster stuff.
22:06 <Cepheid> Repeat until everthing, EVERYTHING is dead.
22:06 <Cepheid> Of course you can take a slower route if desired, and just go gathering or fishing.

22:41 <ADragonDreaming> I remember this
22:42 <Cepheid> In the meantime, I'ma work on village quests. Get to 5*. Give me a yell if you've got any interest in hunting together.
22:55 <Lumindia> Monster Hunter is fun
22:55 <Lumindia> @filly`Coco,
22:56 <filly`Coco> nya
22:56 <Lumindia> Monster Hunter World does a good job of easing you into it
22:57 <Cepheid> It was designed that way, to be accessible. It also fixes a lot of the faults of the previous games. One I'm interested in..
22:58 <Cepheid> Lumindia, small, inconsequential monsters, are they properly "synced" with other players? That is, do you see players attacking nothing, and the monster off to your right just suddenly dies?
22:59 <Lumindia> Can't say I've noticed that to any large degree
23:00 <Cepheid> Better way to word it then.
23:00 <Cepheid> Are you seeing players attack small monsters(Kelbi, small critters and such that die in 2-3 hits or so), and killing them?
23:00 <Lumindia> not really(because none of the people I hunt with go for them intentionally)
23:01 <Cepheid> Bleh.
23:01 <Cepheid> The problem I'm describing is pretty straightforward. Only the large monster's position is tracked between clients, so it'll always be in the right spot, with the right orientation and the like,
23:01 <Cepheid> Unless the connection gets spotty.
23:02 <Cepheid> Smaller monsters, the ones most commonly ignored(But still sought out for some parts here and there), are not tracked across clients.
23:02 <Cepheid> This results in oddness, like seeing small monsters hit players, but having no effect on the player. Or another player attacking thin air, and then suddenly a monster nowhere near them dies.
23:02 <Cepheid> It's silly.
23:03 <Cepheid> It's been in the game since the start, and beyond the PSP era, there isn't much reason to keep it.
23:03 <Lumindia> meanwhile
23:04 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/X4oGxHr.png
23:04 <Cepheid> What set is that?
23:05 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/yjCSfVQ.jpg
23:05 <Lumindia> not really a set
23:05 <Cepheid> Ah;

23:07 <Cepheid> Nice try Naja. *Jumps out of ring*
23:09 <PinkieShy> Sad about MLP leaving.. Netflix
23:14 <Ali> And then it comes back
23:14 <Ali> then leaves
23:14 <Ali> and comes back
23:15 <Cepheid> That's one less Naja in the world. And in the time I killed it, probably 4000 or more were born.
23:19 * Filly_Nightmares rolls onto Cepheid
23:20 <Stormspark> this is why the sensible among us just use yayponies or DVD's (or both)
23:21 <Stormspark> Netflix sucks even at the best of times

23:27 <Cepheid> There was no way for me to win that mounting setup.
23:28 <Cepheid> Khezu, enraged. Roared four times in a row with no wait in between.
23:28 <ADragonDreaming> earplugs
23:28 <ADragonDreaming> or dash juice
23:28 <Cepheid> You do realize my armour sucks right?
23:30 <Cepheid> In any case I'll have earplugs soon enough.

23:41 * Stormspark gacks and squishes belatedly
23:43 <Cepheid> So, in a fit of stupidity, I rolled towards a khezu about to fire off it's ground bolts.
23:43 <Cepheid> I jumped over the bolts.
23:46 <Cepheid> Just need to capture a Shogun Ceanataur, now.
23:46 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: Is it just me, or is "The Fisherman's Fiend" a quest that exists in every game that Lagia exists in?
23:53 <Lumindia> I've taken a liking to the gunlance recently
