00:07 <Schism> "Fffff...reakin' phylacteries.  Celestia, remember that global countermeasure?" "Yes, and I also remember that it would cause you significant harm." "Bubble it and hit it with an AMP inside, we'll see if that exposes any significant flaws that the usual background radiation hasn't sparked.  I don't want this thing existing anymore."

00:09 <Schism> "What did you see?" "Another one of Starswirl's blunders.  He tried to save the life of a filly who was run over by a cart.  It didn't work out.  This thing needs to die for good."

00:14 *** Rapid_Idea is now known as AFKRapid

00:14 * AFKRapid is now away - Reason : Auto-Away (Fell asleep or got distracted. Might be back.)

00:15 <ADragonDreaming> "Burn with us."

00:15 * Schism nodnods!

00:16 <Schism> Exactly that.

00:19 <Schism> "He put her into an amulet made of her own alicorn, in hopes that he might restore her later.  She isn't... she's reliving the worst thing in her life time and again, and looking for ways to escape that.  Anyone who puts on her soul jar winds up doing the same thing.  It breaks your limits, because anyone can pull off that sort of power surge in the right circumstances.  And it kills you just as fast."

00:25 <Schism> Well, that's my observation of the Alicorn Amulet, anyway.  Really dark, but MLP is often so dark.

00:29 <AFKRapid> wow

00:29 *** AFKRapid is now known as Rapid_Idea

00:29 * Rapid_Idea is no longer away - Gone for 15 mins 11 secs

00:30 <Schism> Y'like the idea?

00:31 <Rapid_Idea> it's certainly interesting

00:32 <Schism> It doesn't exactly fit with the rest of the show's canon.  But, then, in G1, there was Grogar, who twisted ponies into abominations.... so it's not that far out of spec.

00:33 <Rapid_Idea> hmm

00:34 <Ali> You sure that wasn't G1 Tirek Schism?

00:36 <Schism> Well.  Grogar was a necromancer... but I might be mixed up.

00:38 * Ali doesn't remember much about the first few MLP episodes but doesn't remember Grogar being evil in it? She's confused.

00:42 <SunsetShimmer> You mean the G1 eps?

00:47 * Ali nods to SunsetShimmer and noms dat bacon

00:50 * Schism splorfs at some of this game.

00:51 <Schism> The fuzzy prince is just so perky!

01:28 * DashedRainbows licks Thelema5

01:30 * Thelema5 tastes like tzatziki

01:31 <PinkieShy> Me: "Okay Google, can you stop being stupid?" Google Home: "There's nothing playing right now"

01:31 <Thelema5> lol

01:32 <DashedRainbows> what's tzatziki?

01:33 * DashedRainbows is uneducated trash

01:33 <Thelema5> It's a creamy cucumber sauce served with certain greek foods, in this case with a Gyro

01:33 <DashedRainbows> ah

01:33 <Thelema5> It's also delicious with fries

01:34 * DashedRainbows tastes like bacon fries

01:35 <DashedRainbows> how's the Thelema5?

01:35 <DashedRainbows> also PinkieShy, the answer is no

01:36 <PinkieShy> heh

01:38 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, I'm okay. You?

01:38 <DashedRainbows> still sicky

01:38 <Thelema5> :(

01:38 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 my brother and his wife started a gofundme for them and her mother.

01:38 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, why so sleepy?

01:39 <PinkieShy> I have no idea.

01:39 <PinkieShy> I know I got the munchies a bit today.. But i am stopping myself.

01:39 <PinkieShy> Just had a spoonful of peanut butter :3

01:39 * DashedRainbows curls up in the corner shivering

01:40 * PinkieShy hands DashedRainbows a very fluffy leather jacket

01:40 <DashedRainbows> thanksies

01:40 <PinkieShy> I used to have a leather jacket.

01:40 <PinkieShy> I outgrew it.. It was a medium and i am a 2xl now lol

01:41 <DashedRainbows> I know that feel

01:41 <DashedRainbows> all my shirts were L and I'm so fat now

01:42 <DashedRainbows> right now I'm running on hype and tylenol

01:43 <DashedRainbows> and hope too

01:43 <DashedRainbows> cuz dammit the meds are working too well

01:43 <DashedRainbows> I feel so calm and cheery

01:44 <Thelema5> Wow, that's good

01:44 <DashedRainbows> not sure if it's the vraylar or trintellix but yeah

01:45 <PinkieShy> I was playing xbox yesterday for awhile.. had to get pain killers..

01:45 <PinkieShy> back started to hurt along with feet..

01:45 <DashedRainbows> mentally I feel great, except for anxiety which isn't to bad

01:46 <DashedRainbows> over time I got tolerance to Lyrica

01:46 <DashedRainbows> at first I was much better

01:46 *** Quits: SunsetShimmer (DJPon3IsHer@DJ.Wub.Wub) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

01:47 <DashedRainbows> pain is ouch

01:48 <DashedRainbows> I know it well these days

01:48 <PinkieShy> I think back pain and feet pain after just 2 hours.. is not a good sign after standing the whole time.

01:48 <Cepheid> Huzzah, headache is gone. o3o

01:48 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/9u447c/when_you_want_a_golden_retriever_but_are_only/?st=jo3c4t14&sh=3f28f7ba

01:48 <DashedRainbows> so is mine thanks to drugs

01:49 <Cepheid> Yeah, drugs did nothing for mine.

01:49 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, I now have to go to bed. o3o

01:50 <Cepheid> ... I just spent the last 3-4 hours IN bed.

01:50 <DashedRainbows> I figured you had tried those

01:50 <DashedRainbows> glhf

01:51 <Thelema5> That cat must be a Maine Coon

01:51 <DashedRainbows> Thelema5: have you felt any better since you started the ssri?

01:51 <PinkieShy> I feel like going to bed..

01:51 <PinkieShy> But can't got stuff to do.

01:52 * Schism giggles helplessly at this game.

01:52 <Thelema5> Not really, DashedRainbows. My doctor just upped my dosage. It's only been 3 weeks though

01:53 <Thelema5> I managed to get out and go for a walk yesterday so that's good

01:53 <DashedRainbows> that's a shame but my first ssri was a bad one

01:53 <DashedRainbows> landed me in a psych ward

01:53 <Thelema5> Woah

01:53 <DashedRainbows> self-admitted tho

01:54 * Thelema5 nods

01:54 <DashedRainbows> was having suicidal thoughts and didn't trust myself

01:54 <Thelema5> I know that feeling

01:54 <Thelema5> Haven't felt that in a while though

01:54 <DashedRainbows> good, good

01:56 *** Quits: Pinmaner (Pinmane@Pony-vdcche.elisa-laajakaista.fi) (Connection closed)

01:56 <Thelema5> My doctor and my therapist both keep pushing me to take more benzos

01:56 <Thelema5> I'm "undermedicating" I guess.  I don't want to become dependant

01:57 <DashedRainbows> best avoid those imo

01:57 * Thelema5 nods

01:57 *** SunsetShimmer_ is now known as Princess-Luna

01:57 <Princess-Luna> Oh, really? xD dang

01:57 *** TempestShadow is now known as Princess-Luna

01:58 <Thelema5> You lost Princess-Luna?

01:58 <Princess-Luna> I probably got distracted

01:58 <Thelema5> Ah, yeah

01:58 * Thelema5 goes to inject his cat

02:00 <PinkieShy> If this sleepiness happens like this often.. I'm going to the doctor and tell them clearly what's up.

02:01 <PinkieShy> This feeling is just ugh.

02:02 * DashedRainbows would be a great diagnostician. Would do stuff like use speed as a diagnostic tool

02:04 <DashedRainbows> how's the PinkieShy today?

02:04 <PinkieShy> other than being sleepy... I'm ok

02:04 <PinkieShy> how about you

02:05 *** AFKRapid is now known as Rapid_Idea

02:05 * Rapid_Idea is no longer away - Gone for 1 hrs 1 mins 19 secs

02:05 <DashedRainbows> tired and achy but feel good

02:07 * Thelema5 returns from cat duty

02:08 <DashedRainbows> what did your cat have again?

02:08 <PinkieShy> I wanna eat nacho cheese again today.. But google says those corn chips isn't healthy on the regular :P

02:08 <PinkieShy> But they taste so good..

02:08 <Thelema5> Diabetes, DashedRainbows. Twice a day I have to test his blood glucose and inject insulin

02:09 <DashedRainbows> neither is the cheese iirc

02:09 <DashedRainbows> Thelema5: I'm actually concerned

02:09 <Thelema5> The chips aren't too bad if you're not watching your sodium intake. The cheese, yes, that's a concern

02:09 <DashedRainbows> my glucose was 138 last time

02:09 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 and DashedRainbows That nightmare I had a month ago of Diabetes returned again on the 2nd.

02:10 <Thelema5> I don't know what's normal for a person, only for cats

02:10 <PinkieShy> The same exact nightmare..

02:10 <PinkieShy> A nightmare i pray and hope never comes to pass.

02:10 <DashedRainbows> around 90 is my normal

02:10 <Thelema5> Oh!

02:10 <Schism> So.  Suddenly, this childlike dream turns into a nightmare par excellence.  ...

02:10 <Thelema5> My cat's was just 408

02:10 <Thelema5> Normal is 80 - 100

02:11 <DashedRainbows> around the same for humans

02:11 <PinkieShy> Schism what do you mean?

02:11 <Schism> PinkieShy, are you familiar with Undertale?

02:11 <DashedRainbows> he's gaming

02:11 <PinkieShy> I love Undertale.

02:11 <Schism> A sequel has been released.

02:11 <PinkieShy> I've been playing Undertale 2 (Delta Rune)

02:11 <Schism> Yes.

02:11 <PinkieShy> Its not the full game btw

02:11 <PinkieShy> Its just Chapter 1 that's free.

02:11 <Schism> That's what I mean.  Deltarune is like a childish fantasy turned horror.

02:12 <PinkieShy> Have you played it all yet?

02:12 <Schism> It's very, very good.

02:12 <Schism> Not yet, no.

02:12 <PinkieShy> Okay I'll hold back from spoilers :P

02:12 <PinkieShy> toby fox has me hooked..

02:12 <PinkieShy> I'm like shut up and take my money.

02:12 <Schism> Field of Hopes and Dreams is on permanent loop.

02:13 <Schism> https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/track/field-of-hopes-and-dreams

02:13 <DashedRainbows> I am mostly concerned 'cause antipsychotics increase blood glucose and my mom's family is largely diabetic

02:13 <PinkieShy> btw if you name yourself gaster.. It crashes the game.

02:13 <Schism> As it should.

02:14 <Schism> And there's a hard mode... I haven't done that one yet.

02:14 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, that's an odd side effect

02:15 <DashedRainbows> they *yay* a lot of things

02:16 <DashedRainbows> probably due to the weight gain or metabolism-poking

02:16 * Thelema5 nods

02:16 <DashedRainbows> Ugh, my head

02:16 <PinkieShy> You know i did the dr scholls machine thingy at the store.

02:16 <DashedRainbows> drug wearing off

02:17 <PinkieShy> That machine told me to get like one of the highest number shoe inserts.

02:17 <DashedRainbows> walking, sigh

02:18 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, you have flat feet, right? Inserts would help, but not 100%

02:18 <Schism> PinkieShy, the whole Suzie/Lancer thing is adorable, ne?

02:19 <Schism> "It tastes like friendship!" "What's THAT taste like???" "Hahaha!  Like my teeth are disintegrating!"

02:22 <PinkieShy> ikr

02:41 <Schism> "Hey, you're that peaceful Lightner!"  ... well.  I didn't think I'd be rewarded for my sensible path...

02:41 <Schism> I mean, sure...?

02:42 <PinkieShy> uhh schism which you recommend pal Super antispyware pro or malwarebytes all the way?

02:42 <Schism> MBAM, the paid version.

02:42 <PinkieShy> okay ^_^

02:42 <Schism> ...Rouxls Kaird.  OH come freakin' ON.

02:43 <Schism> This is just silly.

02:44 <Schism> Don't get me wrong, tis meant to be silly, but come freakin' on.

03:00 <ADragonDreaming> Yes, but what's the significance of Rouxls Kaird?

03:01 <Schism> Nothing, really, beyond an NPC with a junky name.

03:01 <ADragonDreaming> oh, so the name itself isn't important

08:23 <ConfusionRift> I know, but... nerver?

08:23 <ConfusionRift> *nerves?

08:24 <Schism> Large changes result in stress, and coming back to an unrecognizable area is a big change.  It's not exactly what anyone would call sensible, but my brain's wired up weirdly.

08:29 * Schism frowns. "My brother gets on my case about leaving empty ice cube trays on the counter on occasion. This is a perfectly reasonable thing to be annoyed about, and something I should correct. I am, however, less than thrilled about him leaving half-empty ice cube trays IN THE FREEZER when there's a bin right there."

08:33 <ConfusionRift> Schism: That is very understandable. Also, huh. On of those thing that people complain and just don't consider.

08:33 <ConfusionRift> Just started the game and... that's Gyigas... why is Gyigas' sound on the background?!

08:34 <Schism> Because Toby Fox is more or less a disciple of Shigeru Miyamoto?

08:34 <Schism> And, for that matter, Shigesato Itoi?

08:35 <Schism> But most of all Satoru Iwata.

08:36 * ConfusionRift nods.

08:37 <ConfusionRift> I like it still has controller support... and the side controls. (sighs) No biggie.

08:38 <Schism> It'll take like 15 minutes to get to the point where you can even access a menu, which is one of those little caveats I can't really support.

08:39 <ConfusionRift> Which menu? You mean the MAIN MENU or player menu?

08:39 <Schism> As clever as the opening sequence might be, and it is, that's annoying, no less in a demo like this.

08:39 <ConfusionRift> Oooh I see.

08:41 <Schism> It makes SENSE, from a game standpoint, but it still means that you can't quit in the middle of the introduction without having to do the whole thing again.

08:44 <Schism> Heh.  Of course, once you see the menu, you'll probably appreciate how much better it is than Undertale's.

08:45 <ConfusionRift> Huh, interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

08:46 * Schism nods, "It's at least blatantly obvious when you /can/ finally access the menu."

08:54 <ConfusionRift> Oooooh, that menu IS different.

08:54 <Schism> Pay attention to those stats.  XD

08:54 <ConfusionRift> Also, a very tiny detail has been bugging me, but will deal with it later.

08:59 <Schism> Thing about Undertale and Deltarune is that Toby Fox has written very broken worlds filled with very broken people, and that makes them seem all the more real.

09:08 * ConfusionRift nods.

09:13 <Finwe> o3o

09:13 <Finwe> Good forenoon, everypony!

09:14 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Mr Schism.

09:14 <Finwe> o7

09:14 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

09:14 <ConfusionRift> It's just some familiar names popped up, and sorta went and left. Like, to avoid or something.

09:15 <Schism> There's also the regular appearance of the royal family's sigil... in a negative light.

09:17 <ConfusionRift> I do like some of the changes, like the active dodging mode. Now the RPG-esque changes did rubbed me the wrong way, but I'm starting to like them as well.

09:17 <ConfusionRift> Good music so far.

09:18 <Schism> Toby Fox is a musician foremost, and it shows.  Really really good music throughout.

09:18 <Schism> I still giggle at the installer.

09:24 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, ti weird me out at first, and then the start sorta made sense of it all.

09:25 <Schism> Only sorta, of course.

09:33 <Tirek> I'm alive.

09:33 <Tirek> Hi.

09:33 * Schism waves, "Hiyas." Also boops Tirek with a new Toby Fox soundtrack.

09:33 <Tirek> Toby Fox has only ever written one song.

09:34 <Tirek> This is a joke, but I like saying it every time he's mentioned.

09:34 <Tirek> Speaking of Toby Fox

09:34 <Schism> Tis a good joke.

09:40 *** Joins: Changeling_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)

09:41 *** Changeling_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

09:41 * Schism boops the Surry with an evil clown figurine!

09:41 <Finwe> Miss Filly_Nightmares.

09:42 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs clown head!

09:42 * Finwe doffs his hat.

09:42 * Filly_Nightmares murrs at Finwe

09:42 * Filly_Nightmares is doff!

09:46 * Finwe noms on Filly_Nightmares's tail.

09:55 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs Finwe snoot!

10:02 * ConfusionRift gives the game a break. "So far, pretty good. Some improvements with some new nuances."

10:03 * ConfusionRift sees Tirek's second picture. "...pffffttt..."

10:13 <Schism> ConfusionRift, so, for a pacifist run, you can [Warn] enemies to avoid Suzie's attacks.

10:14 * ConfusionRift nods.

10:14 <Schism> Not that she kills anyone either -- they all flee instead.  But yeah.

10:14 <ConfusionRift> I didn't catch that on the very first one, but have been using it after that.

10:15 <Schism> I'm gonna have to do another playthrough for a proper pacifist one.

10:15 <ConfusionRift> I don't think you get a prompt for it at first.

10:16 <Schism> Hmmm.  I'll have to take a look.  (Were I of a more aware bent, I would have made multiple saves at that first point.)

10:19 <ConfusionRift> On the very first fight with Susie as partner, Ralsei tells you to show Susie how to ACT. You do, and she still strikes. To my understanding, you only have your option, a co-option with Ralsei, and you to tell Susie. It's after that mess that Ralsei suggests to warn others of Susie.

10:20 <Schism> Ah, then yeah.

10:20 <ConfusionRift> UNLESS, the co-option had another effect, but I highly doubt it.

10:32 <ConfusionRift> I'm already 2 hours in. Don't wanna just jump out of it. Also, that intro was pretty long.

10:32 <Schism> Seriously, that's a 15-minute introduction.  A rather sizeable chunk of the whole thing.

10:33 <ConfusionRift> If you're reading and exploring, more so.

10:33 <Schism> Granted, I'm going to have to do the starter at least once more to try alternate names.

10:34 <Schism> Calling the character Frisk, Chara, or Gaster, for example.

10:43 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmmmmmm.

10:44 <Schism> T'was a thing in Undertale, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be a thing in Deltarune as well.

10:46 <ConfusionRift> True.

10:46 <Tirek> For the record, I'm not really a fan of the game as a game. It still combines two different genres of game I dislike,.

10:47 <Schism> That's reasonable.  As a story, I reiterate that it's a really well-crafted broken world full of broken people.

10:49 <Schism> So it works well as a story, in my view, even discarding the actual game mechanics.

10:52 <Schism> PFFFFT.  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DrK2YV7VsAAARMo.jpg:large

11:03 <Schism> Oh yes, Tirek: Have you seen CrossCode?

11:06 <Tirek> I've heard of it, but not played it, no

11:07 <Schism> Pointedly, I swear the OST is at least inspired by SoundTeMP's stuff for Ragnarok Online.

11:09 <Schism> An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7smGFDOgGhM

11:09 <ConfusionRift> How? HOW?! How can someone make so many different pastries and make them all taste the same?!

11:10 <Schism> Skill!

11:10 * Schism hasn't explored so much. Needs to go back and buy a few different foodstuffs before the battle with King.

11:10 <Schism> (This isn't a spoiler.  The devil's in the details...)

11:15 <Schism> "Yeah, yeah.  The others handled combat roles.  I was the team's driver, and generally the diplomat." "A diplomat in a black ops team?  What did that entail?" "A lot of strategic lying."

11:16 <ConfusionRift> "Ignore any potential bang sounds."

11:18 <Schism> Sokora was one of the most fun characters I've ever played, because he didn't really do combat.  He was a field medic, a driver, a social butterfly and a sneaky son-of-a-so-and-so, with enough points in Edge to put a reality warper to shame.

11:20 <Schism> All that added up to a character who was well-versed in survival.

11:26 <Schism> You can have your paladins, your clerics, your hackers, your street samurai and your snipers.  A properly played support character is an exponential force multiplier.

11:26 *** Joins: Changeling_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)

11:40 <ConfusionRift> I suspect that there will be another game that will do that character creation switcheroo. Pfffttttt... how about in Elder Scrolls. :P

11:41 <Schism> That'd be fun.  You create a character, and it turns out that they're the dead person in the next cell over from the actual protagonist.

11:41 * ConfusionRift laughs.

11:41 <Schism> (It's an Elder Scrolls game.  You always, always start out imprisoned for unspecified crimes.)

11:42 <ConfusionRift> "Wait... YOU are supposed to be ME. The heck is this?!"

11:42 <ConfusionRift> Imprisoned or accused of something.

11:42 <ConfusionRift> Walking through a checkpoint. Really?

11:43 *** Quits: Changeling_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

11:43 <Schism> That's the Thalmor for ya.

11:45 <ConfusionRift> What will happen if I cross this yellow line? | "Hmm, don't know. But wouldn't do that if I were you." | Heh. (steps on the line, is now under a guillotine) Really broh?!

11:46 <Schism> If there were guillotines on Nirn, the opening of Skyrim would have been much shorter.

11:46 <ConfusionRift> Bah, they wasted too much time in exposition. Loved the guy who just went for it.

11:47 <Schism> "You won't get me!" "ARCHERS!  *thunk*"

11:47 <Schism> Not that I've seen that opening like a million times or anything.  (The thing about adding mods is that sometimes they do odd things, like removing everyone's skeleton.)

11:48 <ConfusionRift> "Oooh blah blah blah, you guys were gonna chop me anyways, so let's get this over with."

11:48 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, mods are... yeah.

11:48 <ConfusionRift> Both Skyrim and FO4.

11:48 <Schism> That guy is actually interesting, because there's a little bit of detail which you will miss the first time around, not knowing the lore.

11:49 <Schism> The priestess specifically refers to the eight Divines, at which point the guy loses his patience.

11:50 <ConfusionRift> Either way, in ES fashion, I noticed a lot of motions and movement that were very static that just made things crawl.

11:50 <Schism> No arguments here.  It's much more visible when you're in a forced cutscene.

11:51 <ConfusionRift> And at one point, that same guy jumped the kneeling animation and moved to the one just about to be beheaded.

11:51 <ConfusionRift> Yes, I restarted the thing about four times before just keeping a specific character.

11:51 <ConfusionRift> My first run with ES.

11:52 <ConfusionRift> Well, second. The first one was with Morrowind... oh did I hated it.

11:52 <Schism> Daggerfall and Arena were more or less an entirely different series anyway.

11:52 * ConfusionRift nods.

11:52 <Schism> Morrowind, ehhh... it was not polished.

11:53 <ConfusionRift> In a game that my cousins have spent triple digit hours on, that was bad.

11:53 <Schism> And Oblivion... hooboy.  Broken characters are interesting.  Broken systems are not, at least not when that breakage means you can't complete the freakin' game without sleeping.

11:54 <Schism> Er.  If you sleep, and thereby level, I mean.

11:54 <ConfusionRift> And to be honest, it's kinda hard for me to get to Skyrim. The things that were bad, were bleh. And those that were good, were meh.

11:55 <Schism> Skyrim at least has the benefit of being the most thoroughly modded game ever, so you can add more good things.  And I do like certain parts.  The haunted house, the appearance of Hermy.

11:56 <Schism> Actually, Hermy is one of the two Daedric Princes to whom I'd pledge my soul, the other being Sheogorath.

11:57 <Schism> I suspect Cepheid is in agreement there.

15:25 <Lumindia> something something political commentary

15:25 <Lumindia> something something 'begone thot'

15:25 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, listening to something helps with concentration because it blocks one of the senses, letting the other four pick up the slack.

15:25 <LibrarianofHope> Something somethin salsa

15:26 <LibrarianofHope> but art bell of all things

15:26 <Schism> Eh, we all have our triggers.

15:26 <Schism> Librarian, also perhaps listen to this.  o3o  https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/track/field-of-hopes-and-dreams

15:26 <LibrarianofHope> he had fun on his show, he probably didnt believe jack, but he had fun

15:26 <Lumindia> also I suddenly have an urge to listen to David Bowie

15:26 * Lumindia puts on Space Oddity

15:26 <Schism> Lumin, I also suggest Scary Monsters and Super Freaks.

15:27 <Lumindia> I'm a fan of "Everyone Says Hi"

15:27 <LibrarianofHope> hi

15:27 <Schism> Good song that.

15:27 <LibrarianofHope> schism, ever read delicous in dungeon?

15:27 <LibrarianofHope> its a manga custom made for you

15:27 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

15:27 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about David Bowie - \"Everyone Says Hi (Metro Mix)\", Remembering Athus Nadorian

15:27 <Schism> Really, Bowie's discography is full of excellent things.  And no, I haven't -- or Made in Abyss, for that matter.

15:27 <LibrarianofHope> monster cooking dungeon exploring

15:28 <LibrarianofHope> give it a spin, its finished

15:28 <LibrarianofHope> might inspire some fun recipes

15:28 <Lumindia> but then I heard the original version and fell in love with that

15:28 <Lumindia> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmEnRtMaeCo

15:28 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about David Bowie - Everyone Says \"Hi\"

15:28 <Schism> I might have to then!

15:28 * Schism throws together a slime casserole.

15:28 <Lumindia> "Said you took a big trip... they said you moved away... happened oh so quietly they say..."

15:29 <LibrarianofHope> https://youtu.be/mQrXFbwi-gY

15:30 <Schism> It might be rather silly, but I identified quite merrily with "Rebel Rebel".

15:30 <Schism> Still do, come to think.

15:30 <LibrarianofHope> that video is great, its a miku cover

15:31 <LibrarianofHope> but it bothers me miku is so darn happy about the whole collpasing, ghost hands affair

15:31 <Schism> Bowie had the most absolutely fantastic legs.

15:31 <LibrarianofHope> he did labyrth no

15:31 <LibrarianofHope> the muppet thing

15:31 <Schism> Yes, he did.  He played the fae prince.

15:31 <LibrarianofHope> wasnt he the goblin king?

15:31 <Schism> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/David_Bowie_-_TopPop_1974_06.png - just look at that outfit, fabulous.

15:32 <Schism> Like I said, the faery prince.

15:32 <Schism> Or close enough.

15:33 <LibrarianofHope> i made some supporting characters

15:34 <LibrarianofHope> one is called Boom Momma

15:34 <LibrarianofHope> big african lady with big cannons

15:34 <LibrarianofHope> and the boss

15:36 <Schism> All the characters I write are broken in some way or another, and when the Mane Six get into my story, they're sure to be at least a little broken too.  And I'm kind of scared, because Pinkie is the sort of broken that eats everything.

15:37 <LibrarianofHope> owo

15:37 <LibrarianofHope> poor pinkie,why so much problems

15:37 <LibrarianofHope> she jus wanna party hard

15:37 <Schism> She is deeply, deeply afraid of everything, even more than Fluttershy, and that's very hard to write.

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> thtas becuase no one is afraid of everything

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> for example i have a light goddess thta has an all destructive fire

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> and its deadly afraid of fire

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> that sort of thing works, its more amusing

15:39 * Lumindia boops Schism's snootle

15:39 <Schism> Librarian: If Pinkie didn't have parties to distract herself, if she didn't have other people to make happy, then she'd kind of collapse into a black hole.  

15:39 * Schism boops Lumindia with a mad bird ring!

15:39 <Lumindia> my DRG is 68

15:39 <Lumindia> good gods they have a buttload of OGCDs

15:40 <Lumindia> also Animation Lock

15:40 <Lumindia> X_X

15:40 <LibrarianofHope> bleh, aboslute grim dark is boring

15:40 <LibrarianofHope> hope makes a better , and more marketable, story

15:41 <Schism> That's not me being grimdark, Librarian.  That's me being normal life.

15:41 <Schism> The hope side of things comes in when Pinkie makes friends and collegues.

15:41 <LibrarianofHope> i believe in my seeds of hope

15:41 <LibrarianofHope> i will reach and give hope to those that i can

15:42 <LibrarianofHope> and they might get a boost to be better

15:42 <LibrarianofHope> ripple effect to try and help the world

15:42 <LibrarianofHope> i also make moolah, but i will give lots to charity

15:42 <LibrarianofHope> im a simple man with easy needs

15:42 * Schism nodnods, "And that'll happen! My fic is called "Mancala" for a reason. Spreading seeds, sowing them and looking for the return."

15:43 <LibrarianofHope> im emulating master pratchett, lots of books same universe

15:43 <LibrarianofHope> i do wonder if master pratchett had an endgame for the disc

15:45 <LibrarianofHope> my current protagonist is a sort of more feminine rainbow dash

15:45 <LibrarianofHope> a tom boy that doesnt mind being a bit girlie

15:45 <LibrarianofHope> and a wiz with a sabre

15:46 * Schism deadpans, "Was his father killed by a six-fingered man?"

15:46 <LibrarianofHope> her father is alive

15:47 <LibrarianofHope> sister is very dead

15:47 <LibrarianofHope> on her wedding day too

15:47 * Schism chuckles, "Sorry, I just remember the backstory of Inigo Montoya."

15:47 <LibrarianofHope> he used a rapier no?

15:48 <LibrarianofHope> i choose a sabre cuase they look great, and becuase katanas are so cliche

15:48 <LibrarianofHope> im not edgy boi

15:59 <Abyss> Well and what's the setting

15:59 <Abyss> Because if setting =/= Japan katana would be inappropriate anyway

15:59 <LibrarianofHope> a very humid world ruled by merchant lords

16:00 <LibrarianofHope> for the first half

16:00 <LibrarianofHope> second half is in the library of hope

16:00 <LibrarianofHope> its like the venetian italian states sort of setting

16:00 <Cepheid> Katana is just the Japanese word for sword.

16:01 <Abyss> well I guess I was more asking what the cultural basis is for the setting, but venetian italian answers that.

16:01 <LibrarianofHope> im also using old school necromancy

16:01 <Abyss> in which case, yes, look up swords used in venice and populate your world with those.

16:02 <LibrarianofHope> sabre fits, its as a ceremonial weapon

16:03 <LibrarianofHope> besides, Neru (protagonist) gave the antagonist a beating barehanded and with fire fists

16:03 <LibrarianofHope> then set her on fire, a lot

16:06 <LibrarianofHope> on that note. i would aprreciate a beta reader

16:06 <LibrarianofHope> could i bother someone to do it?

16:06 <Schism> My protagonist is... well, she's not going to be beating up anyone anytime soon, but I have given her all the tools she needs to do so.

16:07 <Lumindia> also Schism, Jesse's group cleared O12S

16:16 <Lumindia> also OMega is Alex Mack

16:18 * Schism searches through his memories and goes ! when he sees the relevant one.

16:18 <LibrarianofHope> some beta read me or i poke schism

16:18 * LibrarianofHope grabs schism and pokes him

16:18 <Schism> Lumindia, I thought I was the only one who remembered that show!

16:18 <LibrarianofHope> i mean it ahhh

16:19 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, right now I am not a viable beta.  My brainstem is shot full of exhaustion.

16:19 <Lumindia> I mean, I never watched it

16:19 <Lumindia> but I remember it

16:19 <Schism> It was pretty good.

16:20 <Cepheid> ...  the clinic is out of flu shot.  Of course it is.

16:20 <Schism> Look up the nearest Shoppers' Drug Mart.

16:21 <Schism> Aaaand... call ahead.

16:25 <Lumindia> to all of my children in whom life flows abundant

16:27 <Cepheid> It isn't that big a deal.  I was just hoping to get it alongside my prescription refill stuffs.

17:41 <Schism> Hehe.

17:42 <Schism> "You've been behind me the whole time." "Surprise."

17:43 <Abyss> oh right, that's Morpheus.

17:43 <Abyss> with that particular line.

17:44 <Schism> Well, in this case it's a unicorn being sneaky and training a changeling in the martial arts.  But yes.

17:45 <Abyss> Yes, I more meant mine.

17:45 <Cepheid> All done at clinic.  Now to Timmies for a coffee and food.

17:45 <Schism> Though Cobalt is a pegasus, and his idea of training tends to be... well, letting someone try to lay a hoof on him.  He's better than that.

17:46 <Cepheid> See if I can counter the medication just a smidge.

17:46 <Schism> Cepheid: I suggest their orange tea, it's tasty.

17:47 <Schism> Abyss: So.  If a pegasus can counter any physical attack laid upon them, what would you do?

17:49 <Abyss> Shoot them.

17:49 <Abyss> Or use a non-physical attack.

17:49 <Abyss> Or drop a mountain on them.

17:49 <Schism> Exploring other avenues of approach, at least.  So I do approve.

17:49 <Abyss> What are my options?

17:49 <Abyss> information insufficient to answer fully

17:49 <Schism> The answer as 'take another option', so that's more or less what I was hoping for.

17:50 <Schism> s/as/is/

17:50 <Abyss> Throw another pegasus at them.

17:50 <Schism> Also good.  o3o

17:50 <Schism> Derpy is a fine choice.

17:50 <Schism> Kind of cheating, though.

17:51 <Abyss> In battle, there is only victory or defeat.

17:51 <Schism> If the rules aren't properly outlined, then the correct answer is that there are no rules.

17:52 <Schism> And if you allow your opponent to define the rules, then you've already lost.

17:52 <Abyss> Again. In battle, there is only victory or defeat.

17:53 <Abyss> Or put another way, the dead don't complain about rules.

17:53 <Schism> They can complain all they want.  Nobody hears them.

17:55 <Schism> The best solution is the one which lets you return with all, or at least most of, you troops.  In comparison, the civilities of war can take a flying leap.

17:56 <Schism> your troops*

18:09 <LibrarianofHope> sup

18:10 <Abyss> Anybody here live in Georgia?

18:15 <Schism> I've made a point of suggesting that people in Georgia should renew their efforts to prevent identity theft.

18:15 <Abyss> Yes, especially given, well...

18:15 <Abyss> https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20181104/23204140978/georgias-brian-kemp-no-good-very-bad-claim-that-democrats-were-hacking-voter-registration-system.shtml#comments

18:15 <Schism> And that should be restated.  Anyone in Georgia, US, CHANGE YOUR DAMN PASSWORDS.

18:15 <Abyss> That.

18:16 <DashedRainbows> hey, LibrarianofHope

18:16 <Abyss> hang on, let me adjust so it doesn't boot you to the comments immediately: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20181104/23204140978/georgias-brian-kemp-no-good-very-bad-claim-that-democrats-were-hacking-voter-registration-system.shtml

18:16 <Schism> Kemp's nonsense is also fun, because... he's the one responsible for the security holes.

18:16 <LibrarianofHope> sup

18:17 <Abyss> Yes, so, if you're in Georgia - well, far be it from me to tell you how to vote, but I know I wouldn't trust this man with a governorship based on this alone.

18:17 <Abyss> Also I'd want him fired.

18:17 <Schism> I wouldn't trust him with a butter knife.

18:18 <Schism> Cepheid: by way of explanation, Georgia's voting machines had a gaping security flaw which has become quite visible, and the person responsible is blaming the opposition for making them clear.

18:19 <DashedRainbows> I is about to start writing

18:19 <LibrarianofHope> good

18:19 <Abyss> the linked article is a good summary. and links to more detailed write-ups.

18:19 <DashedRainbows> then I gotta go to a thing at a place

18:19 <LibrarianofHope> im reading a bit myself, i felt a bit weary

18:19 <LibrarianofHope> im 500 words in today, im at great pace
