00:54 <Cepheid> Apparently small monsters don't see predators when they're on a higher level than the predator.
00:54 <Cepheid> These two velociprey jump down, see the Astalos, then immediately climb back up. Then turn around, see me, and jump down. Keep repeating.
00:56 <Cepheid> And now that Astalos is dead, they're down and staying down.

04:37 <Thelema5> Doing fine
04:37 <Thelema5> You?
04:38 <Pony|13459> bored lol I just joined bc I have nothing else to do
04:39 <Pony|13459> I recently started trying to keep up with new episodes again
04:39 <Thelema5> Bored online? How is that possible? There's millions of hours worth of content out there
04:39 <Thelema5> Coll beasn... I've lost interest in season 8
04:39 <Thelema5> *cool beans
04:41 <Pony|13459> it seems kind of interesting so far but some of the episodes are kind of boring like I was just watching them bc I didnt feel like trying to look for something else to watch
04:41 <Thelema5> Honestly I feel like the show should have been rebooted after season 6. All the mane six story arc were done; season 7 just dragged it out, and then the movie expanded the universe. I understand the need to introduce new characters but I just don't really like any of them and the school device seems really contrived
04:41 <Thelema5> It's not even my little pony anymore, it's my little creature
04:43 <Pony|13459> yeah I was excited at first when they expanded the universe but they havent done much interesting with it
04:43 <Pony|13459> and it seems like the episodes are just kind of thrown together
04:43 <Thelema5> Yah. I haven't even watched the last half dozen eps
04:44 <Pony|13459> I watch one and its like eh thats mildly interesting but there wasnt really much character development and I dont care about these new characters at all
04:45 *** Quits: filly`Coco (coco@Pony-ap8dnm.res.rr.com) (Connection closed)
04:45 <Thelema5> Same. Season 8 has been /okay/ but not a single standout episode for me.
04:45 <Thelema5> I actually cringe thinking about season 9
04:45 <Pony|13459> yeah it seems like its probably just downhill from here
04:46 *** Joins: filly`Coco (coco@Pony-ap8dnm.res.rr.com)
04:46 <Pony|13459> idk maybe after season 9 is over with and they end the show and after a year do a reboot it will be interesting but I doubt it
04:46 <Pony|13459> maybe all the writers need is a fresh start but im not sure if thats enough
04:47 <Pony|13459> like they're just doing stuff to try to extend the life of the story right now is what it feels like
04:47 <Thelema5> I agree
04:48 <Thelema5> but the fandom is still great, whats left of it
04:48 <Pony|13459> yeah it seems like its faded alot over time
04:48 <Pony|13459> alot of the people I knew in it moved on to other stuff
04:49 <Thelema5> Same. This chat used to be slamming
04:49 <Pony|13459> but idk I was never really that involved in it
04:49 <Thelema5> Now it's like a ghost town where I come to chat with a few good friends
04:50 <Pony|13459> back when I first got into it I was super shy and barely talked to anyone online or in person and now it seems like ive kind of missed the "golden age" of the fandom if you will
04:51 <Pony|13459> ive definitely noticed it seems like alot less content is put out by creators within the fandom
04:51 <Thelema5> How long have you been into it?
04:52 <Pony|13459> 4-5 years I think im not completely sure when I first got into it
04:52 <Thelema5> Yeah, a lot of people have moved on. I saw a thread on reddit the other day called, like, "Fandoms That Have Disappeared Recently" or something like that... bronies were pretty high on the list
04:54 <Pony|13459> hmm I wonder if when the show does a reboot and it actually was really good like the first few seasons if it would revitalize the fandom or if it would completely burn out going a year or so without any official content
04:54 <Pony|13459> idk some fandoms have survived for like 10 years without anything new coming out
04:54 <Thelema5> Hard to guess. I'm sure it would have a lot to do with the writers and the direction they take it

05:16 <Thelema5> I HATE that term "IRL"... for many, many people online experiences are "Real Life". IE, I work online, remotely from home- it's my job and my coworkers are remote.

05:34 <Thelema5> They ,ight not be interested anymore

05:36 <Thelema5> Pony|8955, if he's getting stuff done and you're not the problem is probably your own depression, not his success... a good friend should be happy for their friends success....
05:36 <Thelema5> It really shounds to me like he's doing okay, and you're butthurt fot not doing the same
05:36 <Thelema5> *sounds
05:36 <Pony|8955> it also seems like everything hes wanted and dreamed of hes getting I mean im glad for him but I just feel bad I've barely gotten anything done
05:37 <Thelema5> So this isn't about your friend at all, its about you.
05:37 <Pony|8955> maybe idk
05:38 <Thelema5> No, not maybe. Seems 100%
05:38 <Thelema5> You're upset about your own lack of progress
05:38 <Thelema5> His just makes you feel upset in comparision
05:40 <Pony|8955> I guess so its not just that I feel like ive lost any sense of direction or purpose lately like I just simpily dont know what to do anymore
05:41 <Pony|8955> im not even sure what I want anymore
05:41 <Thelema5> You sound depressed to me, and unable to make positive changes to your own life. That's a diseased state, and you should think about talking with a professional
05:41 <Thelema5> Seriously, this isn't healthy
05:42 <Thelema5> There is NO shame in talking to a therapist
05:43 <Thelema5> Feeling like you have no purpose is like... the definition of depression
05:43 <Pony|8955> I guess so its just ughh I havent had the motivation to do anything like I know I probably should I just dont idk its like some part of me almost doesnt want to fix things
05:44 <Pony|8955> sometimes I get in a situation that could make things better and I just freeze up almost I just cant make myself talk

11:31 <Cepheid> Yeah. The emoji section of Unicode is filling up fast because of weird demands people are making.
11:35 <Cepheid> I legitimately cannot sleep in anymore. After going to sleep at night whike on this pill, i wake up at a very specific time for no reason.
11:35 <Cepheid> One moment asleep. The next awake.
11:35 <RazorSharpFang> I think emojis were a mistoke.
11:35 <RazorSharpFang> Not a mistake, a mistoke.
11:36 <Cepheid> They serve a purpose for the people who coined the term "emoji".
11:37 <Cepheid> The Japanese language is heavily dependent on context. Moreso than English. Emoji helps express that context or tone.
11:41 <Cepheid> On my way to school at 7:41 in the morning despite having no classes until 1 PM. Why? Because i am crazy.
11:42 <Cepheid> Plus i want to avoid the book store lineup as i go to pick up a textbook i ordered.
12:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Rarity Day Discussion - The Future, Fan Theories, Episode Ideas and More! [ http://tinyurl.com/yb9scgo7 ]
12:20 <Cepheid> Aaand i am getting the run-around.
12:31 <Cepheid> I... Am unimpressed. It is an access card to MyMathLab and... A digital, temporary-access, modified textbook.
12:33 <Schism> ... That sounds like the sort of thing you would take revenge for, by borrowing access to a laserjet printer and several reams of paper.
12:34 <Cepheid> Unfortunately the school thought of that.
12:34 <Schism> How much do they demand for access to those course materials, which should probably be folded into your matriculation fees?
12:34 <Cepheid> First off, the textbook is DRMmed. Secondly the printers are pay-to-use with a 100 page free allowance.
12:35 <Cepheid> In this case, $100. It wasn't factored in.
12:35 <Schism> I would guesstimate that about 1 page's worth of materials has changed between last year's course and this year's.
12:36 <Schism> But that $100 has to be kept up, to pay for those oh-so-pricey anti-piracy measures, eh?
12:38 <Cepheid> Yup.
12:38 <Cepheid> Fun note, I'm annoyed by this, but it doesn't seem to be spiraling out of control.
12:39 <Schism> This is a good sign indeed.
12:41 <Cepheid> I still want to kill the construction crews for making so much noise though.
12:46 <Cepheid> Also, I think the reason I wake up in the morning has to do with hunger.
12:47 <Cepheid> Every morning for the last 4 days I've been taking the pill, I wake up, and about 10 minutes later my stomach does the low-blood-sugar shimmy.
12:58 <Cepheid> This e-book approach is terrible.
12:58 <Cepheid> It takes up to 15 seconds to load a page.
12:59 <Schism> Ah, progress.
13:00 <Cepheid> I don't mind epubs that much, to be honest. Provided they can be downloaded.
13:00 <Cepheid> And, you know, access doesn't expire.
13:03 <Schism> ePubs are pretty decent, yeah. Helluva lot better than PDFs for the most part.
13:03 <Cepheid> It has more to do with the fact that it's the direct pages in the document used to print out the work. To a degree, anyways.
13:04 <Cepheid> I've seen epubs that use low-quality images instead of the high-resolution stuff depicted in the textbooks.
13:04 <Cepheid> Leads to severe artifacting because often such images are JPEGs with high compression.
13:04 <Cepheid> Anyways, I'ma wander off and read my textbook for linguistics, so I'll be back in a bit.
13:04 * Schism mms. "Because it's intensely difficult to tell a renderer how to handle a page."
13:05 <Schism> Arighty. Catch ya around. (I'll be in and out through today.)

13:45 <Cepheid> Short break from reading.

13:45 <Cepheid> These pages are large, yes, but it's like, 4-5 pages at most per section.

13:46 <Cepheid> I just opened Kiranico's MHGU page.
13:46 <Cepheid> I need to get a picture of this, because Lumindia will love it.
13:47 <Cyan_Spark> Cepheid is teacher? o3o
13:49 <Cepheid> Heavens no.
13:49 <Cepheid> I'm a TA at best, but the issue is more that I just don't want a repeat of the Web Programming Languages class of 2009 that I attended.
13:49 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1039148683265159169 Lumindia, Schism. This was advertised to me on the MHGU Kiranico page.
13:49 * Lumindia snrk
13:51 <Cepheid> It's like... what.
13:52 <Cepheid> Why? Whyyyy?
13:54 <Cepheid> The worst part is that because I associate yodeling with that one game in The Price is Right, I am now imagining a Deviljho climbing up a snowy mountain yodeling that theme from The Price is Right.
14:01 <Cepheid> Lumindia: Any monsters in MHWorld that make use of the conventional Hero's Proof theme?
14:01 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXcDeihAEfE Namely, this.
14:01 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
14:03 <Lumindia> not sure
14:03 <Lumindia> each zone has an ambient theme, a 'small monster' theme, and a 'large monster' theme
14:03 <Cepheid> Right.
14:03 <Lumindia> though a select few have their own theme
14:04 <Lumindia> namely the pickle and the bomber
14:04 <Cepheid> Usually, Hero's Proof plays only in one or more specific cases.
14:04 <Cepheid> Usually, involving a well-known large monster, often an Elder Dragon, the most frequent being "boss" or "final boss" monsters.
14:05 <Cepheid> MHGU, for example, uses it as Atlal Ka's final phase theme. MH3, MH3U, MH4U used it after firing the dragonator on one of the Mohren battles in the second phase.
14:05 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Proof of a Hero 【英雄の証】 [Monster Hunter 4 Soundtrack rip]
14:05 <Cepheid> Probably other locations too, but that was the most apparent case.
14:06 <Cepheid> Ye know, it's unfortunate Gore Magala and Shagaru Magala aren't in MHWorld.
14:06 <Cepheid> I'd love to see how they look in the updated graphics engine.
14:07 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCK5dBUkSBU Shagaru Magala.
14:07 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Monster hunter xx - G - Shagaru Magala - Long Sword

16:17 <Cepheid> It works, but I can't manipulate any of the ingame menu because it's not designed with a keyboard-only focus in mind.

20:23 <Cepheid> Gods I feel like I've been kicked in the chest.

20:36 <Cepheid> I wonder if perhaps I am aggravating whatever chest problem I have by walking around a lot and lugging around a 80lbs bag on my back.

20:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> Heh they smuggled a NSFW picture into that drawfriend
20:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> Can you believe it? Naked horses! :3
20:48 <Cepheid> You are aware horses are naked by default, right? :P

20:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah, but usually - you know - they're not that /explicit/ about it.
20:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> Look carefully at the post
20:51 <Starlight_Glimmer> I was kinda making fun of that with my comment ;)
20:52 <Cepheid> Ah, that picture. Yeah. Sethisto has somewhat flexible ideas as to what is and isn't SFW.
20:53 * Ali pffts
20:56 <Cepheid> Hell, even I got varying ideas as to what qualifies. Generally why I don't post artwork around here.
20:56 *** Quits: HyperLoop (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
20:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> Oh I'll post all the horse butts
20:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> These are new heights (or lows) though - depending on what your point of view is
20:59 <Cepheid> This is normal, in my thoughts. I've seen Sethisto do stuff like that before.
20:59 <Cepheid> Also posts that are outright mature in nature with no warning.
21:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> Generally speaking the U.S. is a bit more prude when it comes to nudity. I don't get that either, but looking back at e.g. the most famous bit flip in GTA:SA that got it an adult rating it seems odd to be that /open/ when kids looking at the site is actually something I'd expect happens regularly.
21:03 <Starlight_Glimmer> Then again they also openly advertise piracy by linking to episodes
21:03 <Starlight_Glimmer> Which is a legal risk I'd not take with Hasbro around

21:08 <Cepheid> Welcome to the Internet, where everything is oppression, the rules are made up, and no one enforces anything because any attempt to do so gets you doxxed, DDoSed, and other fun stuff.
21:08 <Cepheid> Oh, and any rules that do exist are routinely ignored.
21:09 <Cepheid> This includes various laws.
21:09 <Cepheid> Exception to the cookies and privacy documents apparently.
21:11 *** Joins: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone)
21:12 <Cepheid> As it is, any website hosting and distributing content deemed NSFW is supposed to like, put up a legal warning among other things. Very few personal individual websites, and some major ones, don't do even *THAT*.
21:12 <Thelema5> Hello everypony
21:12 <Cepheid> Hoi.
21:13 <Starlight_Glimmer> Good evening Thelema5
21:14 * Thelema5 is super upset and angry over having to go to an apointment tonight
21:16 <Thelema5> My partner gave me an ultimatum- go to a psychologist or I'm going to leave... so I've done that for 3 months. Nothing came of it, but I still have to go
21:16 <Thelema5> It's a stupid, pointless waste of time
21:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> If you're going in with that attitude it is :(
21:18 <Thelema5> :/
21:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> Not going to try to teach an /old/ man here. I'm just assuming your wife/partner probably had a reason to send you there.
21:19 <Cepheid> You need to tell the psychologist everything you're having a problem with, no matter how inconsequential you may think it is. If the medication's not working, that's one of the things you have to talk about.
21:19 <Thelema5> It's just frustrating
21:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> Tried a different one?
21:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> If you can get an appointment that is
21:21 * Thelema5 sighs
21:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> Some people are just not compatible with each other (referring to your psychologist)
21:21 <Thelema5> That's not the issue, I just don't think I need to be there
21:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm not the person to seek that kind of help either
21:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> Nor do I take any kind of drugs that may affect my state of mind
21:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> So I guess I can feel you there :(
21:22 <Thelema5> I feel like someone forced to take my car in to the dleaership every week when there's nothing wrong with the car.
21:23 <Thelema5> *dealership
21:23 <Starlight_Glimmer> I don't want to ask - I don't know you that well - but your partner must think there is something. Doesn't have to be you exclusive and might even be a perception thing
21:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> But if there is something that bothers her I guess you must take that seriously
21:24 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-7elts9.159-117-185-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: Leaving)
21:24 <Cepheid> Coming from someone who's been doubted about their mental state, behaviour and the like due to how I look when I'm in a hospital, I have a recommendation.
21:25 <Starlight_Glimmer> Getting an outside perspective can help. If you don't think a psychologist helps ask someone else
21:25 <Thelema5> We argue from time to time, every month or so... about stupid stuff. So clearly I am insane because she can't ever be wrong.
21:25 <Thelema5> Cepheid, yeah?
21:25 <Starlight_Glimmer> Have you asked your daughter? Maybe she can provide a more neutral point of view
21:26 <Thelema5> Nah, she's a world away, in Thailand
21:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> She wasn't always though
21:27 <Thelema5> True, but these problems have only come up after she left. Empty nest syndrome
21:27 <Cepheid> Your partner probably won't agree with the idea, but honestly? Ask your partner to join in the session with your psychologist, and let her express her perspective of your behaviour. Probably won't end as well as I'd hope it would, but it would help the doctor get a better idea as to what's going on. Especially since..
21:28 <Thelema5> Cepheid, not a bad idea
21:28 <Cepheid> Well, to put it simply, many people with mental illness are actually hesitant to describe what's going on, either because they think it's normal, they don't realize it's happening in the first place, or because of the stigma associated with mental illness.
21:28 <Cepheid> Hells alive, I know for a fact this happens because I'm doing it with my current shrink. I haven't told her about some things.
21:28 <Starlight_Glimmer> Dialogue would be my recommendation as well.
21:28 <Cepheid> Because I don't want her to mess with those things.
21:29 <Cepheid> I know they're a problem, but I want certain things to be left alone.
21:29 <Thelema5> Cepheid, I get that, 100%
21:29 <Cepheid> That said, it had to be dealt with anyways.
21:29 <Thelema5> Maybe some time in the future
21:29 <Cepheid> The antipsychotic/tranquilizer I'm on affects it regardless.
21:29 <Cepheid> My mother and father also offered to give their perspective, which is where I got that idea initially.
21:30 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net)
21:30 <Cepheid> I visit hospitals, the doctors often question whether I'm truly "sick" because often by the time they get to me, I'm "fine"
21:30 <Cepheid> I've calmed down, I'm no longer acting irrational.
21:30 * Thelema5 nods
21:30 <Cepheid> Because you know, staying distraught, pissed off and depressed for 3-4 hours to show the signs to the doctor isn't exactly feasible.
21:30 <Cepheid> It turns on and off on a dime practically.
21:30 <Thelema5> Not one bit
21:31 * Thelema5 sighs and decides just to push through this day
21:31 <Cepheid> In some cases it got so frustrating that I would find myself looking for a "better" way to get their attention. Most common approach I came up with was to take a good steak knife of some size and jam it into my arm or hand.
21:31 <Thelema5> Yikes!
21:32 <Cepheid> Came pretty close a few times. Had the knife in my hand.
21:32 <Thelema5> I've done some stupid stuff myself. It's all futile
21:34 <Cepheid> And as mentioned earlier, if you feel this psychiatrist isn't working out, get a referral to another one.
21:35 <Thelema5> Nah, he's fine. I just feel like I'm being compelled into this process against my will
21:37 <Cepheid> Normally, it's only encouraged if there's one or more severe symptoms obviously showing. While I can only take your word for what goes on between you two in your arguments and other events between you two, I can confirm that there does in fact seem to be something wrong based on some of the things you've said in the past about yourself. I don't keep sufficient logs, so I can't really bring anything up, but...
21:37 <Cepheid> There have been a few things that concerned me.
21:38 <Thelema5> I have problems. No doubt.
21:38 <Cepheid> And not just minor things. More along the lines of "Can we direct the conversation elsewhere? This is striking a little too close to home for me and making me uncomfortable." things.
21:39 <Thelema5> Sorry to have made you uncomfortable, Cepheid
21:39 <Cepheid> It's fine. I'm pretty sure I've made the lot of you uncomfortable at times.
21:40 <Thelema5> Not me. I've only been concerned for your welfare
21:41 <Thelema5> Alright, screw it. Time to head out for this appointment again. Thanks for listening to me complain
21:41 <Thelema5> Bye everypony

21:44 <Cepheid> Probably wasn't the best way for me to handle that. But then again, the usual approach I would have taken would have been a verbal *****-slap. Which would have been worse, for numerous reasons.
