01:50 <Thelema5> He's ill, has diabetes from a growth hormone disorder
01:50 <Scriblip> aww :(
01:51 <Thelema5> :(
01:51 <Thelema5> He's okay, just requires a lot of extra care.
01:51 <Scriblip> caught up with the show?
01:51 <Thelema5> No, I only made it half way through season 8
01:51 <Thelema5> I just wasn't feeling it
01:52 <CocoPommel> My orange cat requires lots of care. Just had to give him ear medicine. That reminds me I need to open a can of pumpkin for him tonight.
01:52 <Scriblip> I was watching random episodes from it on netflix
01:53 <Thelema5> CocoPommel, your cat eats pumpkin? Is that for a laxative?
01:53 <CocoPommel> Yeah
01:53 <Thelema5> I'm surprised he'll eat it
01:53 <CocoPommel> Just a little spoonful in his dish with the rest of his food
01:53 <CocoPommel> Pfff that cat would eat practically anything.
01:53 <Scriblip> what do you guys watch besides ponies
01:53 <CocoPommel> He loves it
01:54 <Scriblip> ^^;

06:35 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
06:38 <Koopz> Sony announced a Playstation Classic, 20 games on a 100€ box
06:39 <Koopz> they do the exact same thing as Nintendo
06:41 <Koopz> including proprietary controller sockets so you can't use the original ones from your old console and obviously lacking the ability to throw in the orignal games rotting in your shelves
06:41 * Pi horses
06:41 <ConfusionRift> That's what they're doing now. Selling emulators.
06:42 <Koopz> i see this whole thing flopping from miles away
06:43 <Koopz> unlike Nintendo's timeless pixel graphics you'll get to see a bunch of polygons remotely resembling a living being
06:43 <ConfusionRift> Once again, it will come to the price, availability, and the game selection.
06:44 <Koopz> FF7 is confirmed so far
06:44 <Koopz> shall i remind you on how FF7 looks like?
06:45 <ConfusionRift> Shall I remind you of the mass of people that LOVE FFVII?
06:46 <ConfusionRift> Out the top of my head, I know 4 friends who WILL hunt for this, just because of that game.
06:47 <Koopz> even when they can get it on Steam for 13€?
06:47 <Koopz> even when they can get the Remake coming out for the PS4?
06:48 <ConfusionRift> They're not PC users, and I know they want to get that nostalgic feel. Alas, one of them has it. I would just recommend getting the remake, or get a PS2 for $20.
06:49 <Koopz> loading times would probably greatly decreased compared to running it on the PS2 though
06:49 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-7elts9.159-117-185-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: Leaving)
06:49 <Koopz> be*
06:49 <ConfusionRift> If they want to play it native, it's just part of it.
06:51 <ConfusionRift> The NES classic has 30 games and it's now $50 if you know where to look, the SNES classic has 20 games and it's still $80. This one has 20 games, and it's likely to be absolutely proprietary. $100 as well.
06:51 <ConfusionRift> Wait... those are USB controllers.
06:52 <Koopz> are they?
06:52 <ConfusionRift> https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1894/43865608325_e1762572d1_b.jpg
06:53 <ConfusionRift> The top cable is an HDMI, and the one under it is a micro USB.
06:53 <Koopz> are you sure that cable isn't just for powering the console?
06:53 <ConfusionRift> Wait... I'm wrong. Sorry.
06:53 <ConfusionRift> That is the power cable, yes.
06:55 <ConfusionRift> Actually, I take it back. The introduction video of it shows standard USB ports, like the PS4.
06:57 <Koopz> ...looks like it
06:58 <ConfusionRift> So maybe, just maybe, USB controllers with similar inputs should work. Probably even the PS4 controller via USB cable.
06:58 <ConfusionRift> Maybe probably perhaps unsure likely.

08:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
08:29 <RazorSharpFang> Schism, it's "Phew" for a sigh, not "Few"
08:30 <Cepheid> Looks like today's Robotics class is on wheeled locomotion, and based on the design we're using, it'll be a tripod design. Two disconnected wheels, one drive wheel.
08:31 <Schism> I knew, but right now, I care not. Also, hmm.
08:31 <Schism> Think you'll go for front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?
08:32 <Cepheid> If I had to guess, front-wheel.
08:32 <Schism> That is the obvious mechanism. I'd go rear-wheel just to mess with the prof, tho.
08:33 <Cepheid> Can't.
08:33 <Cepheid> The robot design is specific to the class.
08:33 <Schism> Ah, pity.
08:34 <Schism> Where's the fun in a robotics class where you just follow directions?
08:34 <Cepheid> Plus I lack the wheels. At some point, the set used for the course was changed. The old NXT swapped out for the EV3. This included removal of some wheels, especially a key component of the build.
08:34 <Cepheid> That's what the "competitions" are for, Schism.
08:34 <Schism> Wh...?
08:34 <Schism> And that's reasonable.
08:34 <Cepheid> The prof is bringing a stack of the missing part in to the lab.
08:35 <Cepheid> As for the missing piece..
08:35 <Cepheid> https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2903c01#T=C It's this bit.
08:37 <Schism> Ah, I know that piece well.
08:37 <Cepheid> Apparently it's hard to find, now.
08:38 <Schism> Stopped production 10 years ago, huh.
08:38 <Cepheid> The wheel rim itself exists in a recent set.
08:38 <Cepheid> But the tire..
08:38 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, used for around $2.50 to... $20?!
08:38 <Schism> And you thought Magic cards were expensive.
08:39 * Ali plays magic
08:39 * Ali has a $35 foil common
08:40 <Schism> And yet that's still not absurd as a $20 plastic wheel.
08:40 <Schism> Albeit slightly.
08:40 <Ali> Schism, alpha magic cards
08:40 <Ali> Even the commons from that are in the $100s
08:40 <Cepheid> It's critical in the sense that I need a part like that, but it doesn't *HAVE* to be that part.
08:40 <Schism> I know, but those are also over 20 years old, are they not?
08:41 <Cepheid> That said, ideally, the wheel has the same width, while the radius is ideally the same or less. Must have a tire, for grip.
08:42 <Cepheid> Thing is, finding wheels to that spec that connect appropriately so motors can turn it is... yeah.
08:47 <Cepheid> Hmm.
08:47 <Cepheid> The closet approximate part I can find that's "recent" and acquirable is https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=88517c02&idColor=11#T=I&C=11

09:01 <RazorSharpFang> 5 PM now... thinking of heading to sleep...
09:08 <Cepheid> Potentially dangerous suggestion, since I don't know how it would affect anyone else but myself..
09:08 <Cepheid> Nyquil and a two 3mg tablets of melatonin.
09:08 <Cepheid> Combination will knock you out for anywhere from 12 to 16 hours.
09:09 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-cvibue.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: Leaving)
09:09 <RazorSharpFang> I can sleep if I want to. It's just a case of "It's probably bad to go to sleep while it's still light out"
09:09 <Cepheid> Usually it knocks you out for about 10-12 hours, you'll possibly wake up for 30 minutes to eat some food, realize you're still groggy and out of it, then go back to sleep for another 3-4 hours.
09:09 <RazorSharpFang> I don't have too big issues with falling asleep.
09:09 <Cepheid> After which you'll wake up feeling like a million bucks I find.
09:10 <Cepheid> You will have weird dreams, though.
09:10 <RazorSharpFang> Aren't those restricted chemicals?
09:10 <Cepheid> Nyquil is a typical nighttime cough suppressant.
09:11 <Cepheid> The melatonin tablets are just a synthetic variant of the melatonin your own body produces.
09:11 <RazorSharpFang> Melatonin is restricted here.
09:11 <Cepheid> Up here in Canada, both are on-the-shelf stuff.
09:11 <Cepheid> Ah.
09:12 <RazorSharpFang> Needs prescription
09:12 <Cepheid> Fun.
09:12 <RazorSharpFang> I have the issue where I seem to want to just keep sleeping sometimes.
09:13 <ConfusionRift> They do sell them here without prescription, but still. It can ruin you.
09:13 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmm.
09:13 <Cepheid> Yeah, the nyquil especially.
09:14 * Schism waits for the Burn to pop.
09:14 <RazorSharpFang> I'm currently doing that head-nodding thingy. You know, where you're kinda dropping off
09:14 <Schism> Microsleep!
09:14 <RazorSharpFang> That means it's time to operate heavy machinery.
09:15 <Cepheid> The melatonin isn't necessarily addictive, but the Nyquil is considered addictive.
09:15 <Cepheid> Your body naturally produces melatonin anyways, so it's kinda hard to be addicted to it.
09:17 <Cepheid> It's a chemical your body generates whenever it's time to go to bed, usually when it's dark out.
09:17 <RazorSharpFang> I hear that bright blue light suppresses its production, which is presumably why all the social media sites (Facebook Twitter) have blue colour themes.
09:17 <Cepheid> OOoooh yeah it does.
09:18 <Cepheid> Blue light keeps you up, a lot.
09:18 <Schism> #0000FF is terrifying.
09:18 <RazorSharpFang> Anyhow, I've reached my limit, I need to head to sleep. Good night y'all.
09:18 <ConfusionRift> Laters, and have a good one.
09:19 <RazorSharpFang> I am going to sleep SO HARD.
09:19 * Unixkitty applies unreasonable blues to Schism
09:19 <Cepheid> That's why so many screens now support the ability to enable a blue light filters, or change the white point.

09:25 <Cepheid> Both cats have been fascinated by the bag, either because it has a "new bag smell" or some other reason.
09:25 <Unixkitty> Last time I had done that was when I'd bought my previous computer case a few years ago.
09:26 <Cepheid> Both have been rubbing up against it in an attempt to cover it in their scent. She's the first one to climb into it, though.

09:27 <Cepheid> You're either a skinny, small person, which would make me terrified to hug you, or the box was large enough to fit an average-sized individual.
09:28 <Unixkitty> I am relatively skinny, but yes, the computer case was a large tower and the box was about 20% larger :P
09:28 <Cepheid> Heh.
09:29 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe, one of them in crate cases?
09:29 <Cepheid> The issue I have with skinny, small people(About 5 feet to 5 feet, 6 inches), is that I feel like I'm going to crush them just by SHAKING THEIR HAND.
09:30 <ConfusionRift> Then again, seen some good cases they pack with like 50% foam.
09:30 <Cepheid> And part of that has to do with conventional sense with shaking hands.
09:30 <Cepheid> We're always told when shaking someone's hand upon greeting, to give a strong, firm handshake.
09:30 <Cepheid> I do that, I feel like I'm going to break their hands unless they're about the same size as me.
09:30 <Cepheid> It creeps me out.
09:31 <Cepheid> "Stupid reason I'm afraid of skinny, small people #1: I'm afraid I'll crush or kill them just by looking at them. o3o"
09:32 <Cepheid> The most recent example of this was a classmate of mine in robotics. She was sitting next to me, started talking me. I spoke my name and held out my hand to shake hers. Her hand felt like it had absolutely no meat on it. I had to control myself to not grip the hand too tightly. >.>
09:32 <Unixkitty> Regular box similar to this one ConfusionRift, and it did indeed have a thick slice of foamed plastic on each side of the case inside https://kt-media-knowtechie.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/dark-fleet-500-rgb-box.jpg
09:34 <Cepheid> ...
09:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'd end up crushing you by accident if I hugged you.
09:35 <Unixkitty> Well, strong firm handshake Cepheid, but the grip has to be rather particular which enables neither hand to be crushed under decent pressure when both people are applying it relatively equally
09:35 <Unixkitty> > Manly handshake 101 with a skinny girl
09:36 <Unixkitty> But with hugs... yes, you probably would.
09:36 <Cepheid> I'm not good at gauging how much force to use, that's part of the problem. I need to shake the hands of women more frequently. :P
09:37 <Cepheid> But yeah, I don't go all "Try to crush people's hands." I've had that happen to me a lot.
09:37 <Cepheid> Particularly from body-builders, ex-RCMP officers, and mean-spirited uncles. :P
09:37 <Unixkitty> Ever since I was little I've learned that when I shake a guy's hand I have to grip it firmly and kind of stiffen mine, then it feels normal
09:38 <Unixkitty> And yes I did have quite a few male friends in school and they liked to shake hands with me.
09:38 <Cepheid> The worst kinds of handshakes are the ones where the other person likes to do painful stuff intentionally. Like squeezing your hand in such a way as to pop bones around.
09:39 <Unixkitty> Ouch, that's why even though I'm used to handshakes I never offer my hand to strangers
09:39 <Cepheid> Force of habit for me at this point.
09:39 <Unixkitty> And thankfully it's not weird and not expected of me unlike it is from men I suppose :P
09:40 <Cepheid> A lot of people inexplicably expect a physical greeting out of me the first time we meet, so I do it out of habit.
09:40 <Cepheid> And the alternatives that are often suggested are creepy.
09:41 <Cepheid> 'Cause of SARS several years back, the preferred greeting shifted to hugging, for a while.
09:41 <ConfusionRift> Normally, if they don't offer a handshake, I do a wave or the oh-so-common fist bump.
09:41 <ConfusionRift> ...interesting.
09:41 <Unixkitty> Haha, you made me think of how much I can't stand the cheek kisses women like to do
09:41 <Cepheid> It was to reduce physical skin contact.
09:42 <ConfusionRift> By hugging.
09:42 <Cepheid> Not that I'm sure it did much, 'cause I mean, I'm pretty sure SARS was contagious through the air as well.
09:42 <Cepheid> Which basically meant that you were getting close to one another such that you could have passed the illness onto others.
09:43 * ConfusionRift decides to boop Unixkitty's cheek. :P
09:43 <Cepheid> It didn't really make much sense. But because of it, that's considered an acceptable greeting these days. But I find it god-awful creepy to do.
09:43 <ConfusionRift> Same.
09:45 <Cepheid> I just make sure my hands are clean before I offer my hand. If they don't feel clean, or they feel greasy for one reason or another, I simply don't offer my hand, but I always feel bad afterwards.
09:46 <Cepheid> http://a.co/d/4ZsR7W9 Someone buy this for me.
09:47 <Unixkitty> Ow
09:47 * Unixkitty decides to boop ConfusionRift's boop
09:48 <Cepheid> Anyways, I'm gonna go quickly take a shower. Back in 20 minutes.
09:48 <Unixkitty> I love hugs, but it's reserved only for people I consider close
09:48 <ConfusionRift> Okaday. :P
09:50 <ConfusionRift> Was gonna mention that a customer actually told me to give him a handshake, even though I already told him my hands were covered in paint tint.

10:03 <Schism> Huh. $170 is actually pretty cheap for that.
10:03 <ConfusionRift> It is. Especially for a large Technic kit like that.
10:04 * Cepheid returns.
10:04 <Cepheid> Especially given the number of parts.

10:05 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o SunsetShimmer
10:05 <Cepheid> For comparison, I got the robotics kit I have for $400, it has only about 300 pieces.
10:05 <Cepheid> Most of the cost is from the electrical stuff.
10:05 <Schism> The Brick is what really cost the most, there.
10:05 <Cepheid> And even then, I'm pretty sure it's not even worth that much.
10:05 <Schism> Well, no.
10:05 <ConfusionRift> There are Lego build block kits that have even fewer parts and are the same price.
10:05 <Cepheid> Let's see..
10:06 <ConfusionRift> Oh, the "frustration free" casing is $145.
10:08 <Cepheid> Two Large Servo Motors and one Medium Servo Motor are...
10:08 <Cepheid> $84 CAD total.
10:09 <Cepheid> Color sensor is $43, two touch sensors, $24 a piece($48). Ultrasonic sensor, $36..
10:10 <Cepheid> Quickly approaching $200 without the brick, which is $214.
10:10 <Cepheid> So the kit I got is a bit of a deal, in that regard.
10:10 * ConfusionRift nods.
10:10 <Schism> Hard to believe that those pieces are so expensive, all in all.
10:10 <Cepheid> Especially as it also comes with the Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery.
10:10 <ConfusionRift> You're basically paying for just the electricals.
10:11 <Cepheid> Mostly, yeah.
10:11 <Cepheid> Assuming the absolute highest price for individual pieces, which is something like $0.25 on average..
10:11 <Cepheid> The pieces come in at $75, assuming 300 of them.
10:12 <Cepheid> Overall, the set is approximately $500 or so dollars if bought individually.
10:14 <Cepheid> The brick itself isn't even remotely as expensive part-wise as it is advertised as.
10:14 <Cepheid> I can get a Raspberry Pi 3 for less than the brick, and have more power and functionality.
10:17 <Cepheid> It runs a Texas Instruments Sitara ARM processor with a bunch of functionality.
10:17 <Schism> Oh, that explains why it's so expensive. Texas Instruments.
10:17 <Cepheid> It's actually not that expensive.
10:17 <Schism> I was about to say, hey, that sounds VERY similar to some graphing calculators...
10:17 <Cepheid> 9.28 a unit.
10:18 <Schism> Oh, that's sensible.
10:18 <Cepheid> Well, if you buy in bulk anyways.
10:18 <Cepheid> If you buy in bulk of 1000 units, it's 9.28 a unit.
10:18 <Cepheid> Even in low quantities it's still reasonable.
10:19 <Cepheid> 1-15 units is $15.12 a unit.
10:19 * Schism nodnods.
10:19 <Unixkitty> Units received.
10:20 <Schism> Well, so. That was some fantastic nonsense. What kind of boss launches three Rime Wreaths in a row?
10:21 <Cepheid> It doesn't even use that high-quality of an LCD display. Two colours, 178x128 pixels, 8 modified RJ-11 ports(Locking piece is offset to the right), LED-backed buttons, a speaker, internal bluetooth, USB host port, USB client port(programming).
10:21 <Schism> (Party-wide attack. Strong attack, at that.)
10:21 <Schism> ... that is a graphing calculator.
10:21 <Cepheid> More or less.
10:22 <Cepheid> Most of the cost appears to be associated with the branding and software.
10:22 <Cepheid> The actual construction is likely all automated.
10:22 <Cepheid> And as for the software?
10:22 <Schism> The software's probably crap, too.
10:22 <Cepheid> Well, we have the default LEGO Mindstorms graphical programming system and default OS on the brick.
10:23 <Cepheid> We also have leJOS, an "OS" written in Java, running atop Linux.
10:23 <Cepheid> Then there's ev3dev, a Debian-based distro that runs on the device.
10:24 <Cepheid> In theory, any Linux distro, including Arch, can run on it.
10:24 <Schism> Sorry, you said 'An OS written in Java', and I think my brain just segfaulted.
10:25 <Cepheid> All the external stuff, like ports, LCD and the like are supported through either GPIO under Linux, or have drivers.
10:25 <Cepheid> That's what it bills itself, I'm not sure what it qualifies as.
10:26 <Schism> Well, I mean. It's a means by which to operate the system, so...
10:27 <Cepheid> It's closer to a Java JRE with a user interface to execute programs and do configuration of the device.
10:27 <Cepheid> Like you can set up bluetooth, wifi, and PANs, pick out programs to execute using a rudimentary file explorer, etc.
10:28 <Schism> I choose to call that a shell.
10:28 <Cepheid> More or less.
10:28 <Cepheid> It works. Not exactly the fastest thing in the world to load, though. Takes about a minute to boot into.
10:28 <Cepheid> But it provides a lot more power than the default programming language.
10:29 <Schism> Reasonable enough. And a minute? That's surprisingly quick for a Java application.
10:29 <Schism> (Sorry, I'm just stuck trying to imagine an actual operating system written in Oracle's sorry excuse for a platform.)
10:29 <Cepheid> It has most of the Java JRE in it(Excluding AWT, Swing and the like, I presume. I never tried.), supports networking, so you can remotely connect to it and do fun stuff with it..
10:30 <Cepheid> Only catch is it's limited to Java 1.7.
10:36 * Schism boils some spicy Italian sausages for a dozen minutes, for to fry up shortly with butter and saurkraut.
10:39 <Cepheid> But yeah, I already got some useful classes and programs set up. Got a piece of software I can use to connect remotely to the brick running software of my design, and then send commands. Also got some wrappers written around existing API.
10:39 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
10:40 <Cepheid> For example, the touch sensor API isn't the most intuitive. You have to create an array of floating point(real) variables, then call a fetch operation on the sensor with the array, then check to see if the value(s) in the array are greater than 0 or not, to get a boolean response.
10:41 <Cepheid> I wrote a wrapper that wraps around all this and provides a simple "isDown()" method to return true or false if the button is being depressed in any way shape or form.
10:42 <Schism> And if the button is still mostly up?
10:42 <Cepheid> You can set a deadzone.
10:42 <Schism> I know, I just figured I'd be silly.
10:42 <Cepheid> Even then, the spring on it's pretty good.
10:43 <Cepheid> It holds the button up well enough that sitting it upright won't result in erroneous values. Even with a bit of weight on top, like say, a pair of small wheels.

17:51 <Cepheid> News on abandoned puppy my sister found. Turned out it was not abandoned.
17:51 <Cepheid> It belonged to one of the other teachers. It got out, followed his kid to school, then wandered and got into the garbage.

18:31 * Cepheid noms.
18:32 * Cepheid just finished setting up hostapd, dnsmasq and an old wifi dongle for use with his LEGO EV3. No longer has to rely on unreliable, short-ranged bluetooth.
18:33 <Cepheid> Now if I could only figure out how to boost the startup time of programs. 3-4 seconds is a lot of time when you make a lot of small changes repeatedly.
18:35 * Ali cuddles on Cepheid
18:36 <Cepheid> Morning Ali.
18:37 * Cepheid wanders off momentarily, has some laundry to do.

21:44 <RazorSharpFang> Oh, looks like Chrome updated it's UI. It looks worse.
21:44 * Finwe doffs his hat.
21:45 <Finwe> Hmm, cycling home from the university took my blood glucose concentration from 7.0mmol/l to 5.0mmol/l.
21:48 * Ali snugs into RazorSharpFang
21:52 <ADragonDreaming> ah, so i'm not crazy.
21:52 <RazorSharpFang> Bold assertion.
21:52 <ADragonDreaming> Chrome seemed to have changed while I was at work
21:57 <RazorSharpFang> My local supermarket was selling chicken-necks for $1/KG, so naturally I had to buy them. So cheap, so good.
21:57 * Schism nomfs a pig tail.
22:01 * Finwe sits on Ali.
22:01 * Ali squeaks
22:02 <Thelema5> Yeah, chrome did a major design update today
22:02 <Thelema5> It's all rounded

23:08 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:10 <Thelema5> Wow, I finally found a white sandwhich bread I like. They say it's "Canadian Style"... I've no idea that your white bread is like up there, but this is much more dense and less sweet than the american versions
23:10 <Thelema5> *no idea what
23:11 <ADragonDreaming> probably just less sugar.
23:12 <Thelema5> It's also made with milk and honey- honey grosses me out though
23:12 <ADragonDreaming> oh?
23:13 <ADragonDreaming> is that because of its source?
23:13 <Thelema5> Yeah, I don't like insects
23:13 <ADragonDreaming> just don't think about it
23:13 * Thelema5 nods!
23:17 <Cepheid> I am not familiar with any difference between American and Canadian white bread.
23:18 <Cepheid> Also, my parents reminded me that I've been up since 4 AM, with less sleep than usual.
23:18 <Cepheid> And Ali, I can't advance too far, since I won't be getting out of school 'til 5:30 tomorrow.
23:18 <Cepheid> I have my TA work to do.
23:22 <Cepheid> That said, since ADragonDreaming appears to be rushing through 5* as quickly as possible, I'll be focusing on MH tomorrow evening, probably. To keep parity.
23:22 * Ali nods
23:22 <ADragonDreaming> heh
23:22 <ADragonDreaming> hmm...
23:22 <ADragonDreaming> that's non-hub, fyi
23:24 <ADragonDreaming> I should perhaps build Khezu armor? what does it give me...?
23:24 <Thelema5> I'm sure the bread name is a marketing ploy, Cepheid
23:24 <Cepheid> I'm aware, ADragonDreaming. I'm still in 5* myself. And Khezu gives a lot of lightning resist, so a good starting point for Lagia, if you don't already have Astalos.
23:25 <ADragonDreaming> I need 4 astalos membranes
23:25 <Cepheid> Speaking of Lagia.. His changed attacks are straightforward. Involves a lot more thunder damage though.
23:26 <Cepheid> Basic gist: Explosive lightning fields. Lots of them.
23:27 <ADragonDreaming> I could also just put on the gypsy armor that I use to fight Khezu.
