00:06 <Schism> Gotta say, Shaggy looks a lot more dragonlike than Gorey.

00:06 <ADragonDreaming> Well, Gore Magala is not an Elder Dragon.
00:06 <ADragonDreaming> It's an ??? type

02:38 <Thelema5> Hi there
02:38 <Thelema5> How are you, The2045Singularity?
02:38 <The2045Singularity> Good
02:39 <Thelema5> I'm watching S* ep 22 for the first time
02:39 <The2045Singularity> Map is almost 8 years old
02:39 <The2045Singularity> All
02:39 <The2045Singularity> Map
02:40 <The2045Singularity> Mlp
02:40 <Thelema5> Yeah
02:40 <Thelema5> Well, G4 is
02:41 <Stormspark> yep it's crazy
02:41 <Thelema5> MLP has been around since the early 80's
02:42 <Stormspark> this has become one of the longest running shows period, at least in terms of fantasy/sci-fi. In that area it's going to pass the previous NA record holder (Stargate SG-1), and even outside NA the only one that's been around for longer than that is Doctor Who
02:42 <Stormspark> there is zero chance of getting anywhere close to Doctor Who, but hey
02:42 <Thelema5> They should have ended with season 6, IMO
02:43 * Ali baps Thelema5
02:43 <Stormspark> I disagree, season 7 was amazing, and season 8 is pulling out some awesome ones now
02:43 <Stormspark> season 7 is the best overall season at this point IMO
02:43 <The2045Singularity> Mlp is one of the shows that ruled the 2010's for cartoon show

02:43 <Ali> Just wish the stupid S7 and S8 didn't have such schedule dispairities
02:43 <Thelema5> I can't relate to any of the new characters in season 8
02:43 <Stormspark> season 8 has been a slight step back from the high point of 4-7, but it's still great
02:43 <Ali> Hey Ocellus is a cutiebug
02:43 <Stormspark> the fandom will outlive anyone that's in here
02:44 <Stormspark> I guarantee there will still be a FIM fandom in 100 years, well assuming we don't do something like blow the planet up
02:44 <Stormspark> hell there's still a Sherlock Holmes fandom, that has conventions...and the author has been dead for nearly a century
02:44 <The2045Singularity> The fandom today does not come close to that of 2012
02:44 *** Quits: CocoPommel (coco@Pony-ap8dnm.res.rr.com) (Connection closed)
02:46 <The2045Singularity> To me
02:46 <Stormspark> yes it does
02:46 <The2045Singularity> How?
02:46 <Stormspark> very little has changed, it's remarkably stable actually
02:46 <The2045Singularity> It terms of activity
02:46 <Stormspark> it's not getting mainstream media attention anymore...because it's no longer a "new thing" and has become normal
02:46 <Stormspark> that's the only real change
02:47 <Stormspark> as far as activity...well there is a much higher barrier to entry for fan content than there was then, so it stands to reason that there would be less "new stuff"
02:47 <Stormspark> in 2012 you could do nothing but take a clip from the show and set it to a power metal song to be considered a fan video
02:47 <Stormspark> nowadays people make custom 3D animation that takes months to make, etc
02:48 <Stormspark> the custom plushie scene is absolutely *exploding* now compared to back then, back then it was near impossible to find anything
02:48 <Stormspark> I'm getting a 75" plushie, hopefully sometime in late Nov. I may have some in-progress construction pictures soon hehe
02:51 <The2045Singularity> For me I have almost seen what I have wanted for the show and I know you could say that there they could have 1000 seasons but for me the cycle is repeating a little.
02:51 <Stormspark> I do agree that I would rather see it end on a high note than end up like the Simpsons
02:51 <Stormspark> but I'm excited for the rest of this season and S9
02:51 <Stormspark> I just hope they don't screw up the ending
02:52 <The2045Singularity> Or the type of brony that will aways except what ever mlp has to offer.
02:52 <Thelema5> I got everything I ever wanted from the show with Crusaders of the Lost Mark
02:53 <Stormspark> I don't think I'm going to be interested in G5 at all fwiw
02:53 <Stormspark> but I will still be a massive fan of this one for the rest of my life
02:53 <Thelema5> I'm interested in seeing where they take G5
02:53 <Stormspark> I'm mildly curious about it...but I think what will happen is it will be a decent show, but not grab me
02:54 <Stormspark> anyway, this is what my desk at work looks like: https://i.imgur.com/K9MiKsP.jpg
02:54 <Stormspark> I've only gotten one comment...that person just wanted to know what it was all about, and they're a brony now, that was less than 2 weeks ago and they've already managed to get 3 seasons in :P
02:55 <Thelema5> Nice... I work from home, so ponies everywhere
02:55 <Thelema5> Coworkers, not so much
02:55 * DashedRainbows licks Thelema5
02:55 <Stormspark> oh my home is going to have a 75" plushie in the next couple months sometime

02:56 <Thelema5> Oooh, that's pretty
02:56 <Stormspark> that sculpture was over $300, ahah
02:56 <Thelema5> O.o

02:56 <Stormspark> er hand made
02:57 <Stormspark> friend that linked it was: "I'm sorry, your wallet is gonna hate me for this, but check this out"
02:57 <Stormspark> the larger plushie cost $450, I got that in 2014 though

02:58 <Thelema5> And yes, that is a shotgun. I live in the woods.
02:58 <Stormspark> ah
02:59 <Stormspark> yeah I only do stuff that resembles the characters myself, the only official thing I have is the 4DE plushie. I have NO IDEA how those ended up so well made
02:59 <Stormspark> it's an enigma
02:59 <Thelema5> They took ages to ship, that's how
03:00 <Stormspark> I mean, they even have the cutie marks correct (not backwards or anything), and on both sides
03:00 <Stormspark> that never happens on official merchandise
03:00 <Stormspark> the gigantic plushie I'm getting is going to look like this, only 50% bigger, and with different hair: https://www.deviantart.com/epicrainbowcrafts/art/Lifesize-Rainbow-Dash-50-inches-130cm-long-747337918
03:00 * Thelema5 offers everypony some warm soft pretzels with whole grain mustard
03:01 <Schism> Stormspark, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that your favourite pony is... Twilight Sparkle.
03:01 <Thelema5> niiice
03:01 <Stormspark> going with faux fur type hair instead, no examples on a large one but here's an example on a small one: https://www.deviantart.com/epicrainbowcrafts/art/Rainbow-Dash-small-plush-faux-fur-605905645

03:01 <Thelema5> Great idea!
03:01 <Schism> And just a /little/ bit of a stout.
03:02 <Stormspark> my favorite has never changed since the first day I watched the show. And I still remember which day it was. August 19, 2011
03:02 <Stormspark> I marathonned the entirety of season 1 in one night. I feel sorry for anyone getting started now. I only had to marathon one season
03:02 <Thelema5> Schism, I've been craving pretzels ever since you mentioned how to make a high-alkaline lye substitute the other day. Finally caved and bought some
03:02 <Thelema5> (Is too lazy to make them fromscrathc)
03:02 <Thelema5> *scratch
03:02 <Schism> Thelema5: Hee. o3o Do you still have that sourdough starter, come to think?
03:02 <Stormspark> lye...as in sodium hydroxide? As in the active ingrednient in Drano?
03:03 <The2045Singularity> The reason I say almost is because I want to see what happens to the rest of the villains if gen 4 is ending on 2019
03:03 <Schism> Stormspark, yeah, lye is used in culinary works like dipped pretzels, lutefisk, alkaline noodles, and more.
03:03 <Thelema5> Schism, sadly, no. I neglected it and it died after about 9 months
03:03 <Schism> Awr.
03:04 <Stormspark> ah ok
03:04 <Stormspark> yeah my only wish from G4 at this point is they don't screw up the ending with something dumb
03:04 <Stormspark> it should end just like the S7 finale did. The S7 finale would've made a great series finale actually
03:04 <Schism> Stormspark, an alternative alkaline is sodium carbonate, which shares chemical similarities with a different material every baker knows full well.
03:05 <Schism> And food-grade sodium carbonate is insanely inexpensive to make.
03:05 <The2045Singularity> I want a twilights kingdom ending but knowing Hasbro I'm not so sure
03:05 * Stormspark nods
03:06 <Stormspark> if the apartment people ever see what I did with the networking equipment in the laundry closet they are going to go...what did you do? We can't figure this out now
03:06 <Stormspark> I know about 10x more than the people that actually run the network here

03:11 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, sounds uncomfortable and frustrating. At least you'll know what to expect for the real thing
03:11 <DashedRainbows> Yeah
03:11 <Stormspark> the router is a Linux machine so I can control stuff going in and out, and do things like fancy QoS that you'd need a $10k Cisco router to do otherwise
03:12 <Schism> Stormspark: Oh, well, okay, then. Though the question remains as to why it's suspended like that. (Logically, I know it's not actually a hazard to do so, especially for a lightweight piece of equipment like that, but I'm reminded of my days when a switch was a fairly solid chunk of metal.)
03:12 * Filly_Nightmares gnaws on DashedRainbows
03:12 <DashedRainbows> How's Thelema5 tho
03:12 <Thelema5> Schism, I always go 24 hours between meals. You get used to it
03:12 <Stormspark> well, because the cables that were already there connected to their shit router, weren't long enough. That thing is REALLY light though so I'll leave it like that for the time being

07:39 <Unixkitty> I'm okay, calm period here at work after mid-september
07:40 <Unixkitty> Finally started playing a video game I've been dying to for a while
07:40 <Ali> Megaman 11? *shot cause its not out yet*
07:40 <PinkieShy> Well Disney just did it again.
07:40 <Unixkitty> Megaman 2: Assassins of Kings
07:40 <PinkieShy> They took a sword to the title Club Penguin and killed it again.
07:41 <ConfusionRift> ...
07:41 <PinkieShy> Club Penguin island announced after like a year.. the game is going offline.
07:41 <Ali> I thought that was already dead
07:41 <ConfusionRift> That's oooooooold neeeeew,
07:41 <PinkieShy> No the orginal shut down.
07:41 <PinkieShy> but they made club penguin island last year..
07:41 <Ali> Unixkitty, never heard of that one, are you mixing games?
07:41 <PinkieShy> the new game is now shutting down lol
07:41 <ConfusionRift> Hah! Makes sense.
07:41 <Unixkitty> The Witcher 2, Ali :P
07:42 * Ali tosses lemons at Unixkitty
07:42 * Unixkitty catches one and slices up the rest with a conjured sword!
07:42 * Unixkitty makes a glass of lemonade with the one and passes it to Ali.
07:43 * Ali thinks Unixkitty missed that one
07:43 * Ali shrugs and steals Unixkitty's powah!
07:44 <Unixkitty> Possibly
07:44 <Ali> Megaman's projectiles are jokingly called lemons
07:44 <Unixkitty> Of course, I've never played it
07:46 <Ali> I just finished Megaman 9 earlier on Superhero Mode
07:46 <Ali> That....was not totally enjoyable.
07:47 <Unixkitty> Hmmm... I recently finished Serious Sam 3 Fusion on Serious difficulty?
07:48 <Unixkitty> Can't say it was as much as I'd thought it would be either
07:49 <Ali> Well Unixkitty all Superhero mode does for Megaman is that enimies aren't restricted to a specific stage and they're placed in more annoying places.
07:50 <Ali> Also the game replaces 99% of extra lifes with an enemy disguised as the extra life.
07:51 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)
07:51 * Golden flops grumbling, and tired. "Hey all."
07:51 * Ali wavies
07:52 <Unixkitty> Heh, sounds like you have to be very experienced and practiced at the game to play that mode
07:52 <Ali> A bit
07:52 <Ali> I played it earlier, took me over ninety minutes to beat the game
07:52 <Unixkitty> SS3 in Fusion has mobs radically different AI, pathfinding and abilities
07:53 <Ali> Though I'd have to say that's not bad for being the first time in ages to play that mode again.
07:53 <Unixkitty> It was felt like at least double the original Serious difficulty
07:53 <Unixkitty> 90 minutes? :P The game's that short?
07:54 <Ali> Unixkitty, Megaman is a classic NES game, they're short
07:54 <Unixkitty> Oh okay
07:54 <Ali> Most runs for me average 40-50m on normal modes
07:54 <Ali> And megaman 9 was redone in NES style
07:55 <Unixkitty> I suppose I can see why it wouldn't feel much of a chore to try such a short game in harder difficulties then
07:55 <Ali> Well the extra difficulty comes by changing things around the stage
07:55 <Ali> The layout is all the same, but enemy placements have changed
07:56 <Ali> And the annoying disappear/reappear block patterns change
07:56 <Unixkitty> So basically instead of the practiced run you'd normally do you have to be ready for anything every moment
07:57 <Golden> Oh those enemy extra lives do actually drop the life....if you take them down fast enough
07:59 <PinkieShy> The community is once again lost.. Even one of the people that built the orginal is sad
07:59 <PinkieShy> He even tweeted something i agree :P Once A Penguin Always a Penguin.
08:00 <Ali> Unixkitty, pretty much but the worst enemy shows up in Wily 3. Which is the final castle of the game.

10:22 <ConfusionRift> Is that the- YEP!
10:23 <Cepheid> Screaming face mod.
10:25 <ConfusionRift> Not as bad as the "other" modpack, but it's still not a good time.
10:25 <Cepheid> There is also the Abort_m mod. Made by the same dev of Ouch_m.
10:26 <RazorSharpFang> Hey Cepheid
10:26 <Cepheid> And yeah then there is the DooD/Wobbly mod.

10:27 <Cepheid> And hey there Sharp Razor.
10:29 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, so, I was thinking of doing a 10x vanilla Marathon with Ali, to get a slower tech progression. This way we'll spend more time building big rather than advancing quickly through the technologies. But we'd need the resources turned up all the way.
10:30 <Cepheid> Maxed out resources and 10x research? Leave recipes alone or...?
10:31 <RazorSharpFang> Recipes left alone, just 10x on research.
10:31 <RazorSharpFang> We'd have the starting area set as big as possible, with biters as frequent as possible, but size very slow.
10:31 <Cepheid> I'm game for that. Would appeal to my gaming mood as of late. Playing through lots of different games at the same time.
10:32 <RazorSharpFang> This way there won't be much room for large worm camps.
10:32 <Cepheid> Aggressive biters or no?
10:32 * ConfusionRift peeks over, then flops back.
10:32 <RazorSharpFang> I think we can cope with passive off for this one, with the starting area as big as it is.

10:33 <RazorSharpFang> Oof, timing lol
10:34 * Filly_Nightmares nestles on RazorSharpFang
10:35 <Cepheid> I'm gonna have to shut down one of the servers for it. I'm gonna replace the 27050 server.
10:35 <RazorSharpFang> Sounds good to me
10:39 <Cepheid> Default biter settings of expansion and the like?
10:40 * Cepheid prods RazorSharpFang.

10:41 <Cepheid> Or, rather, no.
10:42 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs Cepheid
10:46 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang: Same address, port 27050 instead. Biters have been left alone outside of base size and frequency being adjusted. No expansion, no time or pollution evo.
10:47 <Unixkitty> Goodness Cepheid, what is even the point of that
10:48 <Cepheid> Not my choice.
10:53 <Unixkitty> Sorry, I was talking about the video you've linked earlier
10:53 <Cepheid> Ah.
10:54 <ConfusionRift> No point whatsoever, as the guy said. It does put the engine through its paces.
10:54 <Cepheid> If the Ouch mod, the dev explains that it was an experiment to play with new gzDoom scripting or something to that effect.
10:55 <Cepheid> They are working on a new mod last I heard. I follow the author on Twitter.
10:57 <Unixkitty> Ah, so the answer is "they have nothing better to do", I see.
10:58 <RazorSharpFang> I still can't believe how expensive nuclear power is as a tech
10:58 <Cepheid> Little from column "to learn" and a little from that column yes.
10:58 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:59 <Cepheid> Razor, did you want Evo reset to defaults?
10:59 <RazorSharpFang> No I think your setting are for the best.
11:00 <Cepheid> Righty-o then. Remember they aren't peaceful. You will get small attacks.
11:00 <RazorSharpFang> Hopefully only if the pollution reaches them

11:02 <RazorSharpFang> Good question.

11:22 <Cepheid> Bloody smokers. Some of the worst polluters I've ever seen. They have a literal like of garbage building up at their usual smoke spot, with so much garbage just laying around nearby I had to carefully step through it all.
11:23 <RazorSharpFang> By "Smokers" you mean those who use cigarettes right?
11:23 <Cepheid> There are friggen garbage cans not 10 feet away. They too [REDACTED] lazy to move their butts and dispose of stuff properly?
11:24 <Cepheid> Yes Razor.
11:24 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
11:24 <RazorSharpFang> Well, I've found that of those who have at least one vice, they tend to have multiple vices. Laziness one of them
11:24 <Cepheid> Cigarette butts everywhere, discarded Starbucks and Tim Hortons cups everywhere, food wrappers, cigarette cartons..
11:24 <ConfusionRift> Mmmhmm.
11:25 <Cepheid> And of course they aren't supposed to be smoking there either. OC Transpo property. No smoking allowed.
11:25 <RazorSharpFang> Classic.
11:27 <Cepheid> I do not like smokers. This isn't a case of a few bad apples making the rest look bad. My experiences tell me that a majority of them are grade-A+ a-holes.
11:28 <Cepheid> It's more a case of a majority making themselves look bad. The decent ones are far and between.
11:28 * ConfusionRift nods.
11:29 <Cepheid> Also I apologize if I sound a bit heated or excessive of my dislike, but my biggest issue is that cigarette smoke tends to give me headaches. Medication be damned. My sinuses don't like it.
11:29 <ConfusionRift> Then again, with my allergies and asthma, the smoking thing is an automatic hate for me. Also, seriously. It harms others more than the users.
11:30 <ConfusionRift> No worries. The have absolutely no defense.
11:31 <Cepheid> It'll be interesting to see how many more people are smoking come October. Weed gets legalized in Canada then. Lotta people are gonna hide it in products that look like cigarettes. So I expect there to be a sudden jump in smoking at places like university and the like.
11:32 <ConfusionRift> Aren't they still No Smoking zones?
11:32 <Cepheid> Unfortunately campuses here allow smoking on premises. Not inside.
11:33 <Cepheid> Must be 10 feet away from any entrance though. No one listens to that though and security does buck-all about it.
11:34 <Cepheid> My university has rules against smoking weed, but if it is disguised not to look like it, folks will manage to get away with it. The smell is an indicator yes, but most security guards will probably be too far away to notice the smell.
11:36 <Cepheid> Basically, there are rules against this and that, but I don't expect security to enforce them in any way, shape or form.
11:36 <ConfusionRift> Here's the thing, people who smoke that garbage will always do something that makes it obvious. Something clever gets outdone by something real stupid.
11:37 <ConfusionRift> You're right on that.
11:37 <ConfusionRift> "So you expect me to process about half of the university for weed use in the premises? Hah! Yeah right."
11:37 <Cepheid> That's true. Off topic, but my ears appear to be trying to clear themselves out. Antibiotics are working fast it seems.

11:39 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that won't help any.
11:39 <Cepheid> Speaking of drugs, someone on this bus has been smoking recently. That smell is somewhat distinctive. Either that or they need a shower real badly.
11:42 <ConfusionRift> That's another issue. That smell. That horrible disgusting smell that attaches to everything. Guh!
11:43 <RazorSharpFang> I've found that most flames do that. You smell of smoke after being near a bonfire.
11:45 <ConfusionRift> This is a very distinct smell. It's a smell you want to avoid, especially if you're going into a governmental or enforcer building.

11:54 <Cepheid> Morbid question, but what kinds of products can be made from human bones? I don't mean crafting-wise. I mean after processing.
11:54 * Filly_Nightmares crawls onto ConfusionRift head
11:58 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, Bonemeal? It's useful as a fertiliser.
12:00 <Cepheid> True. Reason I ask is cause we use animal bones for glue and gelatin, for example. So outside of bone meal is there any other uses for human bones and other unusual animal bone products.
12:02 <ConfusionRift> Aside from bonemeal, gelatin, a form of starch, and... hmmm. There was something else, but I don't remember.
12:02 <ConfusionRift> Aaaand we don't normally use human bones for such processes.
12:02 <RazorSharpFang> Calcium supplements. :)
12:03 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, Calcium.
12:04 <ConfusionRift> I think it gets mixed with caliche rock and used for water processing and concrete.
12:05 <Cepheid> Yeah, human bones for such processes except maybe bonemeal or glue would probably have health concerns involved.
12:06 <Cepheid> Plus the ethical issues.
12:08 <Cepheid> But that's more people just being finicky than anything else really. If I had a choice, whatever remains after organ donation/donations to science, would be better off used helping the planet somehow. Feed a few trees or something. o3o Anyways, I'm done with this morbid topic as I'm sure it's making more than a few people uncomfortable.

12:38 <Cepheid> Basically, renamed the executable, created a bash shell in it's place that does "GTK_THEME="Adwaita" /usr/bin/firefox-binary"
12:40 <ConfusionRift> What's with Hotmail... I mean, Microsoft Live? Each time I log in, my browser bugs down. Apparently starts using more resources.
12:41 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe M$ is using your CPU to churn bitcoins
12:42 <Unixkitty> Problem #1: Microsoft
12:43 <ADragonHoarding> is it trying to use silverlight
12:43 <ADragonHoarding> because that's what keeps making MSN a giant resource hog.
12:45 <Cepheid> Let's see.
12:45 * Cepheid logs into his school's email account. It runs atop Microsoft Live.
12:46 <Cepheid> He's not lying.
12:46 * ADragonHoarding sings a song about not working and banging a drum
12:46 <Cepheid> The browser's using almost 100% of my CPU.
12:46 <Schism> Impressive.
12:46 <Unixkitty> Microsoft. We know what we're doing.
12:46 <Schism> Well, you know, in its own way. I doubt it's bitcoin or the like, but that's certainly Microsoft for you.

12:48 <ADragonHoarding> contact microsoft support?
12:48 <ADragonHoarding> I've had success with some random things in the past with their chat support options
12:48 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, to solve the issue of Firefox not working with the Adwaita Dark theme, I just used the above script I specified, and then installed Firefox's actual dark theme.
12:49 <Cepheid> Now I just need to set up the dark theme for hexchat.
12:50 <Cepheid> And there we are.
12:50 <Cepheid> Nice, dark themed laptop.
12:50 <Schism> Mmm, dark-themed IRC, the way it's meant to be.
12:50 <Unixkitty> Speaking of dark themes, quite a few programs will need to have dark themes in macOS now
12:50 <ADragonHoarding> Did Apple go emo?
12:50 <Cepheid> They offered a dark theme in Mac OS X Mojave, yes.
12:50 <Unixkitty> They've added proper dark mode in 10.14
12:51 <Cepheid> The first real example of any sort of theming appearing in their OS.
12:51 <Unixkitty> They've added the option to change accent colors as well
12:51 <ADragonHoarding> So they're offering a modicum of user choice?
12:52 <Unixkitty> So far only programs that use the system libraries for the UI will go "dark" if you switch the system theme
12:53 <Unixkitty> I suppose it makes sense though
12:53 <Cepheid> Given the OS is not used to having any sorts of themes, it's not surprising.
12:54 <Cepheid> GTK, QT and the like are probably designed to not even bother looking for any indication of a specific theme under Mac OS X. Why waste processor cycles on something that didn't exist?
12:54 <Unixkitty> Indeed
12:55 <Cepheid> There's apparently a google code thing going on over in the SSSC.
12:56 <Cepheid> I just walked by and saw them. "Doing another Google Event?" <One of the people> "... Yeeaaahhh...."
12:56 <Cepheid> "Well, have fun!"
12:56 <ADragonHoarding> Street Sweeper Social Club?
12:56 <Cepheid> I don't recall what it stands for.
12:57 <Cepheid> It's the support center for finding tutors and the like.
12:57 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony!
12:57 <Cepheid> Oh, by the way.
12:58 <Cepheid> There's an advertisement for a local bank.
12:59 * Finwe noms on Unixkitty's MacOS.
12:59 <Cepheid> It offers $60 for students who open an account for them. And it advertises this $60 as, and I quote exactly: "Or in more relatable terms, one-fifth of a textbook."
12:59 <ADragonHoarding> ...hah
12:59 <Cepheid> That goes a long way to show just how expensive textbooks are.
12:59 <ADragonHoarding> textbooks are a scam.
12:59 <ADragonHoarding> much of the time
13:00 <ADragonHoarding> "buy this textbook for this course, it will be required!" Professor never uses textbook.

13:01 <Cepheid> Some of the textbooks are actually nice and useful.
13:02 <ADragonHoarding> This is true.
13:02 <Cepheid> The ones that rip apart textbooks to collect only the relevant parts of the course are definitely scams though.
13:02 * Unixkitty installs boopOS on Finwe's computer
13:02 <ADragonHoarding> During my own college experience, I will say about 1/3 of the textbooks mattered.
13:03 <Cepheid> What did you take at college?
13:03 <ADragonHoarding> Computer Science, then some psych.
13:03 <Cepheid> Ah.
13:03 <ADragonHoarding> I do not have a degree.
13:04 <Cepheid> Nor do I.
13:04 <Cepheid> I have a diploma.
13:04 <Cepheid> I'm working towards a degree, somehow, though.
13:10 <Cepheid> Guh.
13:10 <Cepheid> I'm debating going over to the on-campus pharmacy and picking up some face masks.
13:10 <Cepheid> I keep coughing, and though I'm certain it's not contagious, I'd rather err on the side of caution.
13:16 <Schism> It might make people feel a bit less worried around you, too.
13:16 <Cepheid> Yeah, I think I will go see if I can get some.
13:16 <Cepheid> This is ridiculous.
13:16 <Cepheid> It suddenly got really bad 'cause of a tickle.
13:16 <Schism> Yeesh. Is it a wet cough or a dry one?
13:16 <Cepheid> Dry, mostly.
13:16 <Cepheid> It's a tickle in the right-hand side of my throat.
13:16 <Schism> Mm. That's one case where Buckley's might help then.

13:25 <Schism> "You're marking cards? Out in the open? Where everypony can see?" "Yeah, but these aren't for a game. And these are pretty cheap cards, which is actually good for me." "And you're going to just make a statement like that without addressing the obvious question?" "I would, but your burgeoning curiosity is like the sweetest honey." "EXPLAIN!"
13:26 <ADragonHoarding> Oh, "marking" cards
13:27 <ADragonHoarding> I read that as "making"
13:27 <Schism> Now, for what reason would one mark cards, which have some similarities to the minor arcana of the Tarot?
13:28 <ADragonHoarding> Fortune telling.
13:28 <ADragonHoarding> or magic tricks.
13:28 <Schism> Heh, flip it.
13:29 <ADragonHoarding> and reverse it
13:29 <Schism> A mixture of ichor, a suspension of powdered minerals in aqua regia, and a variety of runes which approximate the meaning of each card, resulting in an etching upon a substance which was initially prepared to receive such an etching.
13:30 <Finwe> Messrs Schism and ADragonHoarding.
13:30 * Finwe doffs his headphones.
13:30 * ADragonHoarding tips Finwe's non-existent hat
13:30 <ADragonHoarding> Schism: I understood all of those words but the significance escapes me.
13:30 <Schism> Adra: The easiest way to tell a fortune is to make it happen. And if you can throw some minor spell effects upon a series of cards, linked to your blood...
13:31 <ADragonHoarding> Oh, so spells put into the cards to cause the upcoming prediction to occur?
13:31 <Schism> Such that only your blood can actually activate them... yup.
13:32 <Schism> Tiny things, but that then lets you tailor a series of spell effects to your mark.
13:33 <Schism> Cheap cards are good, to a point. The liquid soaks through more readily.
13:34 <Schism> There are also some minor uses in combat. A trick here, a trip there, a bowstring that snaps unexpectedly, a boot that goes missing.
13:35 <Schism> Or, positively, a momentary swordthrust that goes right, or the bolstering of a healing potion.
13:37 * Cepheid returns.
13:37 <Schism> I'm quite certain there's a class in many games which gives you that proficiency, but that might be something to think about for your next game, Adra.
13:38 <Cepheid> There's actually a game that implements that.
13:38 <Schism> Deadlands doesn't exactly count.
13:38 <Cepheid> Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
13:38 <Cepheid> You can worship Nemelex, or whatever it's name is. You get card decks for doing so.
13:39 <Cepheid> You draw cards, the effect is applied immediately.
13:39 <Schism> Oh right. Yeah, that does have that mechanic. Which is awesome, and Nemalex is my favourite.
13:39 <ADragonHoarding> My newest game is GURPs, set in Wuxia
13:39 * Cepheid looks at Tutorial 3. "Guh. Not this one.
13:40 <Schism> This, though, is more like stacking the deck. Stacking the deck with imbued ebonwood slices carved with the blood of a 5th-tier magical beast, in runes which carry upon them the element of whatever the heck you want.
13:44 <Schism> "One advantage of being a pathless cultivator is that you get to experience the joy of blowing yourself up in a limitless variety of ways."
13:54 *** Tempo-Sleep is now known as Tempo-Work
14:00 <ADragonHoarding> I kind of excited about this newest game.
14:00 <ADragonHoarding> Because the intention is to start with barely-trained martial artists and scale up through to DBZ nonsense.
14:01 <Schism> Remember that every character has a path, a way, or a dao if you prefer. It is a reflection of themselves, a true power, and also their greatest weakness.
14:02 <ADragonHoarding> Aye.
14:02 <ADragonHoarding> Part of this will be finding that way
14:02 <Schism> Sounds fun. :3
14:03 <ADragonHoarding> Though I've given Feng Yincang the 15 point advantage of Talent: Inner Balance
14:03 <ADragonHoarding> which lends itself to the more pacifistic applications of martial arts.
14:03 * Schism side-eyes Adra.
14:04 <Schism> The metagamer in you is strong.
14:07 <Schism> Which develops from being a GM, of course.
14:07 <ADragonHoarding> Well the other main talent option was Forceful Chi
14:08 <ADragonHoarding> Now, I have played Jade Empire.
14:08 <Schism> Well. That makes the choice pretty easy. Power outward, or power inward.
14:08 <ADragonHoarding> The difference with GURPs, of course, is that Inner Balance aka Open Palm is not also "good" as it is in Jade Empire, and Forceful Chi aka Closed Fist is not also "evil" as it is in Jade Empire
14:09 <Schism> Different ways of dealing with the world, as it might be said.
14:09 <ADragonHoarding> Yes.
14:10 <Schism> A closed fist, or an open hand. To impose one's will (order) or to accept the world (chaos).
14:11 * Lumindia_ boops Schism
14:11 <Lumindia_> Wasshoi!
14:11 * Schism flies about on his Namazu platform.
14:11 <Schism> Wasshoi!
14:11 <Lumindia_> I'm capped on Genesis again
14:11 <ADragonHoarding> It's a two-player game right now, and the other player had already put together their character. While I haven't seen the sheet, I got enough from the summary and conversation with the player to say the other character is a more forceful, agressive type.
14:11 <Schism> Sounds like that'll be fun then. X3
14:11 <ADragonHoarding> Yes. Also, they're a wolf.
14:11 <ADragonHoarding> I therefore went fox.
14:12 * Schism eartwitches appropriately.
14:12 <Schism> Actually... hmm...
14:13 <Schism> I know there was...
14:14 <ADragonHoarding> The whole setting idea is that, yes, it's China, but it's China an indeterminate amount of time after modern civilization underwent an apocalypse.
14:14 <ADragonHoarding> Also, like in Jade Empire, magic, demons, spirits, etc.
14:14 <Schism> Dammit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jadeclaw - I KNEW there was this one floating around.
14:14 <ADragonHoarding> (bureaucrats have a tendency to become demons. But these are chinese demons, many of whom are part of the Celestial Bureaucracy)
14:15 *** Lumindia_ is now known as Lumindia
14:15 <Cepheid> Regarding the masks earlier, the local clinic just let me take a few for free.
14:16 <Schism> Makes sense.
14:16 <Cepheid> They appreciated me thinking about other students. >.>
14:16 <ADragonHoarding> nice
14:16 <Schism> It's cheaper to let you cover your mouth than it is to treat other folks for disease.
14:16 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
14:16 <Cepheid> Like I said, I'm pretty sure it's not contagious, but better safe than sorry. Plus it'll give some students peace of mind. Some.
14:17 <Cepheid> Eastern populations are known for using the masks regularly, even in public, to prevent spread of illness. Western populations, not so much.
14:17 <Schism> Cepheid: Here, have a rabbit capable of flight. https://twitter.com/bunnyarchive/status/1034505241184616449
14:17 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:18 <RazorSharpFang> We're very good at sharing the disease in the west.
14:18 <RazorSharpFang> Sharing is caring.
14:18 <Cepheid> And of course, wearing the masks causes Westerners to feel a little uncomfortable.
14:18 <Cepheid> So yeah, over here? We prefer to just share.
14:18 <Schism> Sharing is uncaring. ._.
14:19 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe one day we'll shed our communist sympathies. ;)
14:19 <ADragonHoarding> if the anime depictions of that mask are accurate, they have a different style
14:19 <Cepheid> They're about the same.
14:19 <Cepheid> At least, here they are.
14:20 <Cepheid> Covers the mouth and nose completely.
14:20 <ADragonHoarding> the ones I've come across myself have that bubble shape to them, and aren't very flexible
14:20 <Cepheid> Yeah, these aren't those.
14:20 <ADragonHoarding> ah
14:20 <ADragonHoarding> that shape is why I'm not a huge fan of them
14:20 <ADragonHoarding> they don't work well with facial hair.
14:20 <Cepheid> Nope. Plus I think they're designed more for keeping particulates out.
14:21 <ADragonHoarding> yes.
14:21 <RazorSharpFang> The ones I've seen aren't designed to keep particulates out. They're designed to keep them in.
14:22 <Cepheid> But yeah, I seem to be suffering from a medical crisis in my body. On top of breathing issues, I also have an inner ear infection, and NOW, for some reason, allergies.
14:22 <Cepheid> I've been sneezing a lot.
14:22 <Cepheid> Not 'cause sick, but because something is getting into my nose and tickling everything up there.
14:22 <Schism> I am doing exactly the same right now.
14:22 <Schism> 37 times in a row.
14:23 <Cepheid> So yeah, probably allergies then.
14:23 <Cepheid> Hayfever, I'm assuming, Schism?
14:24 <Schism> I've never actually looked it up. Just that during the fall and the spring my nose goes wild. It's never really bad any other symptoms, so I can only assume it's aliens flying into my sinuses.
14:24 <Schism> Ahem, 'really had'.
14:24 <Cepheid> I think that's hayfever.
14:24 <Schism> No puffy face, nothing like that, just rampant sneezing.
14:25 <Cepheid> Especially if it's during spring and fall, with no severe effects other than sneezing.
14:25 <Schism> I mean, I guess that's what it might be.
14:25 <Cepheid> As that tends to be when hayfever acts up in most people.
14:25 <Cepheid> It's especially probable if it's not specific to any region.
14:26 <Schism> It's infrequent enough, though, that I don't have a hard time -- it's random.
14:26 <Schism> But I guess you might be right on that.
14:27 <Cepheid> In my case, it's just causing a perpetual runny nose with occasional sneezing.
14:27 <Cepheid> It's being alleviated somewhat with the nasal spray I take, though. Without that stuff, it'd be far worse.
14:27 <Schism> Not sneezing now, but... hum. Mucus prevents it, body finally detects it after a time, goes 'OMG OMG GET IT OUT' and then suddenly we turn into a localized explosion factory.
14:28 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:28 <Cepheid> I'll be back soon once again. Gonna move.
14:36 <Cepheid> Aaand back. Got about 12 more minutes before I head to the office.
14:38 * Cepheid listens to music quietly.
14:38 <ADragonHoarding> food
14:38 <Cepheid> Not enough time. That'll have to wait until after office hours, at noon. I'll be fine.
14:39 <ADragonHoarding> nah, I mean, that's what I'm occupied with
14:39 <Cepheid> Ah.
14:41 <Cepheid> I think I'm just gonna head into the office early.

16:24 <ADragonHoarding> It takes a lot of practice to get good at verbal coaching.

Pretty sure it was the Frontier team, now, as the concept resembles the whole "UNKNOWN" cut-in that pops up when fighting an UNKNOWN type monster, such as the Mary Sue Rathian or Mi Ru.

19:21 <SunsetShimmer> Social media is a paradox - it is a useful tool, and yet a detrimental security risk.
19:21 <Cepheid> There are ways to use social media in such a way as to provide minimal amount of information.
19:23 <Cepheid> The minimal set of information you should ever have to submit for social media is a username, a password, and an e-mail for password reset.
19:23 <Cepheid> Everything else is extraneous.
19:24 <LibrarianofHope> add doggie videos to that
19:24 <LibrarianofHope> cant live with doggo goodness
19:24 <Cepheid> Except those would be considered content posts.
19:24 <Cepheid> Not a part of the account information.
19:24 <LibrarianofHope> i could call myself doggie goodness as user name
19:26 <Cepheid> To sign up for an account, you shouldn't have to provide your phone number, your address, your blood type, a sample of your blood, your entire genealogy tree up to the 1400s, the soul of your firstborn child, etc, etc.
19:26 <Cepheid> This information should only be supplied when it is relevant, such as when you are requesting a quote from a sales representative. In that case, you provide a phone number for them to get back to.
19:26 <Cepheid> But then we're getting outside of social media right there.

22:51 * Cepheid arrives home.
22:57 <CocoPommel> Hi
22:58 <Cepheid> I have no idea what I am going to do now. I do need to eat something, though.
22:59 <Schism> http://freefall.purrsia.com/ - this logic is flawless.
22:59 <Schism> Cepheid: Make some cheesy pigs in a blanket?
22:59 <Cepheid> Apparently the adults are picking me up a sub from the local subway.
22:59 <ADragonDreaming> nice
23:00 <Cepheid> I have been advised that it is in fact not a train.
23:00 <Schism> Of course not, it's a submarine.
23:01 <Cepheid> Out of curiousity, if brought up from the surface rapidly, like, far more rapidly than typical surfacing speeds, what would happen to the sub?
23:02 <ADragonDreaming> the sub?
23:02 <ADragonDreaming> probably not a lot
23:02 <Schism> Not a whole lot to the sub. But its inhabitants would undergo nitrogen narcosis quite rapidly.
23:02 <ADragonDreaming> would depend on if it flew out the water and crashed back into the water, I guess
23:02 <ADragonDreaming> the internal pressure wouldn't do much to the integrity of the hull
23:03 <Cepheid> True.
23:03 <Cepheid> Apparently nothing would happen.
23:03 <Cepheid> There's actually an emergency system that does exactly what I'm suggesting.
23:05 <Schism> As for the bends, come to think, that does vary based on the depth and how long it was submerged.
23:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Fanfiction: Fire Burns Both Ways [ http://tinyurl.com/y7vudxwq ]
23:12 <Cepheid> Because pressure is maintained, I don't think that's an issue.
23:12 <Cepheid> The bends is primarily caused by the pressure of water against the body, which cannot be regulated.
23:13 <ADragonDreaming> There is some danger of it with submarines, IIRC? It's not as big an issue as actual diving.
23:15 <Cepheid> According to a response to a question on Quora, any sort of pressure-based issues primarily involve diesel engines.
23:16 <Schism> Makes sense.
23:18 <Cepheid> Apparently when the reactor goes down, they fire up the diesel engines.
23:19 <Cepheid> If things aren't done right, they either vent into the sub itself, or pull in air from the sub itself.
23:23 <Cepheid> Obviously, both of these things are Bad(TM)
23:23 <ADragonDreaming> yes
23:25 <Cepheid> As for plans tonight, either hmm... Just straight up get comfy and get in bed and read, or play a game. If a game, it's a choice between Monster Hunter, NieR Automata, and Valkyria Chronicles. Maybe even FActorio, to see how that crazy server is faring.
23:27 <Cepheid> Aghghfdjgh.
23:27 <ADragonDreaming> weaoijwag?
23:27 <Cepheid> Something let loose inside my sinuses or nose. I'm tasting a disgusting fluid.
23:27 <ADragonDreaming> eeeeeewww
23:27 <Cepheid> Yeah.
23:27 <Cepheid> Probably shouldn't have mentioned that. Sorry.
23:28 <ADragonDreaming> nah, it's fine.
23:28 <ADragonDreaming> the ew is sympathetic.
23:28 <Cepheid> Right.
23:28 <Cepheid> Probably a sign that the antibiotics are working, to be honest.
23:28 <ADragonDreaming> hopefully!
23:29 <Cepheid> Well, there's already signs it's working.
23:30 <Cepheid> My throat's not killing me anymore, and while I still have coughing fits, my lungs are feeling better.

23:38 <Schism> Probably.
23:39 <Cepheid> Not sure what kind of blue cheese it uses though, as the blue cheeses I've eaten have a much more...
23:39 <Cepheid> I can't describe it. It's not particularly a bad taste, but it's really, really strong and leaves an aftertaste.
23:39 <Thelema5> Also, I was SURE that the recipe I used was in error suggesting 4 ounces of sliced mushrooms per serving, but nope! They cooked down into nothing

23:42 * Thelema5 has been a household prep chef for years
23:42 <Schism> Hee. I forget if you ever did pick up a copy of On Food and Cooking, which I suggest to everyone.
23:43 <Thelema5> No, never. I've thought about it. I have quite a bit of credit over on amazon- maybe now is the time.
23:43 <Thelema5> Is this the one? https://www.amazon.com/Food-Cooking-Science-Lore-Kitchen/dp/0684800012/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538178213&sr=8-2&keywords=On+Food+and+Cooking
23:44 <Schism> Yupyup.
23:44 <Schism> It's very much worth it, especially since I'm pretty sure you've mentioned that you like the science of foods.
23:45 <Schism> Paperb-- WHAT paperback, it's a 900-page textbook?!
23:45 <Schism> Meh.
23:45 <Cepheid> Schism, I have a paperback textbook that's 1,300 pages.
23:45 <Schism> I know, I know, but this one was never to my knowledge actually released in paperback form.
23:46 <Schism> Just a point, though, Thelema5. This is not a cookbook.
23:46 * Cepheid puts in marks, done for the evening now.
23:47 <Cepheid> Which is a good thing as I experimented on something.
23:47 <Thelema5> Understood. I have the internet. No cookbook needed.
23:47 <Schism> Well, when you understand the ingredients, you don't need a cookbook that way, either. :3
23:48 <Cepheid> See, the doctor tells me it's okay to take an increased dosage of my meds. For future reference, I decided to uh, see what would happen if I increased it slightly, just so I don't ever go in mid-week with an increase and find out there are some side effects.
