01:30 <PinkieShy> I could save $5 if i go autopay on Verizon..

01:31 <PinkieShy> They added the prepaid autopay discount back :)

01:37 *** Sleeping_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

01:37 * Filly_Nightmares skrees

01:46 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 i might take them up on that offer..

01:46 <PinkieShy> $5 is $5 :)

01:46 <PinkieShy> But then again i might go cricket and drop my bill by $10 - $20

01:47 <PinkieShy> Only probably need only little data since i don't go out much being with my dad working.

01:47 <PinkieShy> Mostly under Wifi but the extra could be useful :)

01:48 <ADragonDreaming> For The Immortals Have Appointed A Proper Time For Each Thing Upon The Tarth

01:48 <ADragonDreaming> *Earth

01:59 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, Probably worth it then

01:59 <Thelema5> I almost never use my data because I'm nearly always home

02:00 <PinkieShy> The thing is though.. I don't know how cricket would be out here.

02:00 <PinkieShy> Unless I really want to just get a 2nd phone for one month to test it out and use it as a tablet.

02:00 <PinkieShy> and if service is good.. get a new number on the phone and have my verizon number ported over.

02:24 <DashedRainbows> I hope you've eaten by now

02:25 <Thelema5> Yes, DashedRainbows... I had an enormous salad

02:26 <DashedRainbows> eww...

02:26 * DashedRainbows scrubs her tongue

02:26 <Thelema5> With 5 different greens, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, onlions, pepperoni, provolone cheese and italian dressing

02:27 <Thelema5> Oh, and pepponchini

02:30 <Thelema5> You?

02:31 <DashedRainbows> it's a dey ending in y so I feel like *yay* and yeah

02:31 <Thelema5> Heh

02:31 * Schism happily heals a very important tree! "That was a fairly tricky case, too."

02:32 <DashedRainbows> I'm doing some writing too

02:32 <DashedRainbows> uh, I went to vote today

02:32 <Thelema5> Tree of Harmony?

02:32 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, that's great!

02:33 <Schism> Thelema5: An autumnal tree which had spread its roots throughout the zone, but was infected by an illness.

02:33 <Thelema5> Aah

02:34 <Schism> Downside: The poultice I applied attracted a lot of wandering enemies who wanted to eat it.

02:34 <Schism> (It was just a little sidequest in a game, even in-universe, but it was fun.)

02:35 <Thelema5> XD

02:35 <DashedRainbows> have you gotten outside today, Thelema5?

02:35 <Schism> So sadly I had to prevent them from licking the tree.

02:38 <Thelema5> I did, I went to vote

02:38 * Schism hugs Thelema5.

02:39 <Thelema5> I saw this on my way to the polling place https://imgur.com/tyn7cRe

02:39 * Thelema5 counterhugs!

02:39 <DashedRainbows> yay

02:39 <DashedRainbows> oh right

02:39 <Thelema5> :p

02:39 <DashedRainbows> you had said so earlier, my bad

02:39 <Schism> A rainbow is a good sign here.

02:40 <Thelema5> No worries! You can't tell in the photo but it was a double rainbow, all the way

02:40 <Schism> But freakin' crud is it ever a nailbiting case.

02:40 * Thelema5 nods excessively

02:40 <DashedRainbows> and you don't even live here... man

02:41 <Schism> I love close enough that whatever happens in the US will, at least, have a result on what happens here.

02:41 <DashedRainbows> it's incredibly important

02:42 <Schism> Ahem. I live close enough, rather.

02:42 <DashedRainbows> ppl escaping to Canada if it gets bad enough

02:43 <Schism> That doesn't work in the end.  US policy still informs a lot of Canadian policy, despite how terrible it is.

02:43 <DashedRainbows> but meh

02:43 <DashedRainbows> damn

02:43 <Schism> You can see that in the election of Doug Ford, who has absolutely nothing else going for him.

02:45 <Schism> I know.  This is just one of those times when nobody can escape politics.

02:46 <Schism> Except by playing games of course.  *returns to CrossCode*

02:46 <Thelema5> To be honest I did vote for one republican today, our local Sheriff who is a downright decent, thoughtful guy who, despite being in law enforcement, supports black lives matter AND who encourages citizens to carry weapons for self defense

02:47 *** Joins: Rapid_Idea (Rapid_Idea@Pony-iks.oqn.92.155.IP)

02:47 <Thelema5> This is in a very rural district, mind you

02:47 <DashedRainbows> woo

02:47 <Schism> Well, you actually looked into his policies, and they measured up to yours, so I can't blame you for that one.

02:48 <DashedRainbows> anyway, tomorrow, concert, hype

02:48 <Thelema5> Oh, my bad- turns out he's actually a democrat

02:48 <Thelema5> XD

02:48 <Schism> Bahaha.

02:49 <Schism> I have no problem whatsoever with people voting in their own self interest, so long as IT'S ACTUALLY IN THEIR OWN INTEREST.

02:49 <Schism> Which, you know.  The Republicans are kind of not.

02:49 * Thelema5 nods

02:49 <DashedRainbows> yet the polls

02:50 *** Joins: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP)

02:50 <Schism> Yeah, and I got a pretty big problem with them.

02:50 <DashedRainbows> I'm like why would anyone re-elect the current governor

02:51 <Schism> I wish I knew...

02:51 <DashedRainbows> apparently it's true

02:52 <DashedRainbows> :'(

02:52 <Schism> Are... are you in Texas?

02:52 <DashedRainbows> yup

02:52 <Schism> Excuse me while I go off and flip a godsforsaken table.

02:52 <DashedRainbows> ikr

02:53 <Schism> I know why it happened.

02:53 <Schism> Republicans prevented Democratic voters from making themselves heard.

02:53 <DashedRainbows> Thelema5: hopefully new yorkers are better at politics

02:53 <Schism> ...

02:54 <Schism> DashedRainbows, excuse me while I join Thelema5 in a bout of hideous laughter.

02:54 <DashedRainbows> ?

02:54 *** Joins: JonTheVGNerd (Jon@Pony-48j.p7d.45.70.IP)

02:54 <Schism> Derisive laughter.  I'm sorry, it's not directed at you.

02:55 <Thelema5> :p

02:55 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, new yorkers are horrible at politics because it's bascially two states.

02:56 <DashedRainbows> I'm just sad for my peers

02:56 <DashedRainbows> texas aint no better it seems

02:57 <Schism> I really, really hate Ted Cruz, and the worst part is that despite the fact that everyone ELSE hates him... he still got in again, didn't he...

02:58 * DashedRainbows looks at the map. breaks out laughing

02:58 <Schism> If nothing else... Dems take the House.  It's not the completion -- mwaer?

02:58 <DashedRainbows> I can either laugh or cry

02:59 <Schism> What're you looking at?

02:59 <DashedRainbows> it seems all the non-rural areas voted smart

03:00 <DashedRainbows> also I see a %0.9 lead

03:00 <DashedRainbows> nvm

03:17 <SunsetShimmer> Better to accept the situation, brace yourself for the next period and just go business as usual

03:21 <DashedRainbows> I guess

03:30 <PinkieShy> I wanna punch 2018 into a pulp.. This year is just been horrible..

03:31 <DashedRainbows> I don't know why for you but yes

03:31 <PinkieShy> Horrible with so many people attacking me for no reason online..

03:31 <PinkieShy> Whatever happened to treating people with respect. :(

03:31 <PinkieShy> 2019 is probably going to be better.

03:31 <Thelema5> For me too

03:32 <DashedRainbows> Beats in person attacks

03:32 <DashedRainbows> Ppl can suck

03:32 <Thelema5> Beats losing your daughter and wife

03:33 <DashedRainbows> Hmm

03:33 <DashedRainbows> At least your daughter should come back

03:33 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, some people are just assholes. Don't associate with them

03:34 <Thelema5> I've not spoken with her since her mother left

03:34 <PinkieShy> Only good thing that came out of this year was making friends with DashedRainbows and some others on this network, and deciding to come here regularly to speak with the amazing ppl here like Thelema5, DashedRainbows and others.. Plus a great thing out of this year is my nephew and seeing my brother and his wife become married and be happy together :)

03:34 <Schism> Hm.  Apollo doesn't actually mind if you grind up before the duel.  In fact, he compliments you for taking the time to do so.  ... well, he's still a jerkface l'extraordinaire.  :P!

03:40 <Schism> But... at least the House is able to stop things.  If they want to.

03:42 <PinkieShy> I feel like telling my doctor about my bunion on my foot to see if Doctor says a foot doctor will see me about that.. I mean should i if its not getting bigger..

03:43 <DashedRainbows> Yes can't hurt

03:43 <PinkieShy> Like if they know too if medicaid will pay for a foot doctor at that point..

03:43 <Thelema5> I'm honestly just glad to see that my district, New York's 19th congressional, has bascially voted out John Fasso- trump puppet, in favor of a black democratic Rhodes scholar

03:43 <PinkieShy> Medicaid is very spotty.. :/

03:43 <DashedRainbows> Good

03:43 <Thelema5> It was a tough fight

03:44 <DashedRainbows> At least you had some good news tonight

04:02 <DashedRainbows> Yay

04:02 <Thelema5> CNN just projected it

04:05 <Schism> Remember 2016.  A /chance/, even a very good one, is not a certainty.

04:06 * DashedRainbows sniffs Thelema5 and scratches her ears

04:06 <DashedRainbows> Politics break my brain

04:07 <Thelema5> Schism, I remember it dearly. I sat watching the TV reports thinking "What the hell is happening?"

04:09 <DashedRainbows> I think that was a horrible day

04:09 <Schism> It was.

04:10 <Schism> Alabama is looking to make the Ten Commandments part of state law, and it might happen.  Which is... well, it's Alabama...

04:10 <Thelema5> Yah

04:11 <DashedRainbows> I'm no heathen but yeah...

04:11 * Ali sits in flyovercountry

04:13 <Schism> It is wonderful how Sharice Davids has been confirmed in Kansas.

04:16 <PinkieShy> Made a video on naming your player Kris and your real name Susie in Deltarune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTjDSVxTZmQ :)

05:56 <Schism> Heyas.

05:57 <Schism> ConfusionRift, getting to level 13 before the first fight against the Green-Haired Spheromancer ensured my victory.  It's a bitter win, though, as for some reason loading up on all the best gear feels like cheating.

05:58 <Schism> (Even if I know that he did exactly that.)

05:59 <ConfusionRift> Heh.

05:59 * Schism mutters under his breath about Apollo.

06:06 <ADragonDreaming> Hee

06:07 <Schism> The jerkface can't even bother to learn Lea's name!  *grump*

06:08 <ADragonDreaming> ...Lea!

06:09 <Schism> Yes.  X3

06:25 * ConfusionRift isn't sure what to do.

06:36 <Schism> Robots in the opening town...

06:36 <Schism> While I can certainly [Break] their defenses, I need to step up my game.

06:36 * Ali noms on Schism ankles

06:38 <Schism> Game adequately stepped up.  o3o

06:41 <Schism> This is a good training exercise, though.  Breaking opponents' defenses before they can launch a high-level attack, that is.

06:44 * Schism also boops Ali with a slice of key lime pie! With vanilla.

06:45 * Ali isn't hungry so she keeps nomming Schism ankles.

06:47 * Schism is full of holes, and doesn't understand why Ali wants to add more.

06:49 <PinkieShy> :(

06:49 <PinkieShy> I gotta get slippers.

06:50 <PinkieShy> My feet are killing me tonight and continuing to go barefoot isn't helping at all.

06:50 <PinkieShy> It hurts so bad, its like what pain you'd feel if you touch a bruised area of the skin..

06:50 <PinkieShy> I'm very tempted to just get my nike shoes with memory foam inserts and wear them until bed.. lol

06:51 <Schism> This is maybe not the best option, but have you considered wrapping them in slightly damp towels?

06:52 <PinkieShy> Nope haven't considered..

06:52 <Schism> Or wearing literally three pairs of socks.  This seems absurd, but might help.

06:52 <PinkieShy> I'm going to the store tomorrow and probably going to buy some good slippers and not go barefoot anymore..

06:53 <PinkieShy> If barefoot leads to pain its not worth the pain :(

06:54 <Schism> Agreed, especially since it's your body telling you that something's wrong.

07:47 <Schism> ConfusionRift: CrossCode.  It's like a cross between Secret of Mana and .hack, and quite good at pretending to be both.

07:51 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, I'm trying to do what I can to reduce my queue list, since other games are coming up. :P

07:51 <ConfusionRift> But that one did catch my attention.

07:52 <Schism> This one's worth putting pretty high on your queue, even if you're trying to reduce it to something sensible.

07:53 <ConfusionRift> Is it that good? :P

07:53 <Schism> Well, I haven't played that far into it, so take my raving with a grain of salt, but it's pretty darned great.

07:54 <Schism> It's more than a little bit grindy, though.

07:54 <ConfusionRift> Thaaaaat could be a minus for me.

07:55 <ConfusionRift> Well, depends of the type of grinding.

07:56 <Schism> Yeah, it's not the worst example I've seen, but it rely relies upon the old SNES/PSX era RPGs as a flavour, and that means that you're going to have to fight a lot of hedgehogs before it gets into the full swing of things.

07:57 <ConfusionRift> Ooooooooohmaaaaaan.

07:57 <Schism> You /can/ fight, and beat, the bosses at a low level, but you're going to definitely have to learn and use the mechanics to do so.  So... maybe not so much your thing.

07:58 <Schism> (That is to say, you're going to have to learn them to the level of an artform.)

07:58 <Schism> It's got a good half-hour demo, though, if you're on the edge about it.  That'll basically give you the idea.

07:59 <ConfusionRift> Learning a playstyle or fighting mechanic is fine. My problem is when things crawl by simply stuffing you with the same thing for a long time. That kills it for me.

08:00 * ConfusionRift is reminded of the reason why he left Maple Story and Flysis.

08:00 <ConfusionRift> I'll still check in a bit.

08:02 <Schism> The grinding is kind of... back and forth.  There's also the fact that certain bosses remain incredibly difficult even at the maximum level for the area.

16:10 <DashedRainbows> goooooooooooooood morning everypony!

16:17 <Cepheid> Morning.

16:17 <DashedRainbows> hi Cepheid

16:17 <Cepheid> Hey.

16:17 <Cepheid> I tried an experiment last night.  I was having trouble sleeping due to breathing issues again.

16:17 <DashedRainbows> woohoo, I'm in a great mood

16:17 <Cepheid> So I grabbed all my stuff, set up a bed on the couch.

16:18 <Cepheid> My breathing rapidly improved and I was able to sleep.

16:18 <DashedRainbows> hmm

16:18 <Schism> Sounds like time to, er... air out your room, maybe?

16:18 <Cepheid> Air out my room, and make sure everything is clean.

16:19 <Cepheid> I got some stuff leftover from Christmas in my closet, not sure what some of it is, so I think I'll dispose of that.  Also re-organize my closet a tad and clean stuff up.

16:23 <Cepheid> So how did the day of nightmares go?

16:23 <ADragonHoarding> day of your nightmares?

16:24 <Schism> Voter turnout went well.  There were a lot of big victories, including the Dems flipping the house.  There were also a lot of frustrations, and that asterisk is sapping a lot of enthusiasm.  "We won, but..."

16:24 <Cepheid> Ah.

16:25 <ADragonHoarding> Michigan went well.

16:25 <Schism> Most frustratingly, the slime mold that walks like a man remains in the Senate representing Texas, and Georgia's enormous redistricting and voter suppression tactics worked.

16:26 <ADragonHoarding> (purify with fire, the flames shall turn all corruption to ash)

16:26 <RazorSharpFang> Are we talking about politics in the general channel again?

16:26 <RazorSharpFang> I love talking about politics in the general channel.

16:26 <ADragonHoarding> Election results.

16:27 <Schism> Sorry, I'll cut it out, you're right.  The election yesterday made it hard to avoid.

16:27 <RazorSharpFang> Hurray for politics! :D

16:27 <ADragonHoarding> Ehhhhh, it's not actual debate

16:27 <ADragonHoarding> It's just "what happened yesterday" with a touch of opinion included.

16:27 <Schism> Yeah, but I was dismissive and a negative nelly in how I presented it.

16:27 <RazorSharpFang> There's no room for subtlety on the internet, silly.

16:27 * ADragonHoarding employs a subtle knife.

16:28 <RazorSharpFang> How subtle!

16:28 * Cepheid stabs RazorSharpFang with a shank made out of a wet noodle.

16:29 <Schism> To be more neutral and pleasant, voter turnout was the highest it's been in years, whatever the reason might be, and that's something to support even further in any democracy.

16:30 <Schism> Well, that much is something I hope we can agree is good anyway.

16:30 <ADragonHoarding> Yes.

16:30 <ADragonHoarding> Which is why prop 3 in Michigan passing is a good thing.

16:31 <RazorSharpFang> I do wish that America had a more representational system other than FPTP. Then we'd have minority parties and better representation.

16:41 * Schism smirks, "On the other hand, this one's a fun mental image I can't help but share. Mike Pence gets to swear two women into Congress today with the Qur'an."

16:41 <RazorSharpFang> Down here in Australia, we have single transferable vote, which is great because I can show my support for the smaller party AND give the middle-finger to the bigger ones.

16:42 * Cepheid flops and checks to see if any new assignments have been posted.

16:43 <Cepheid> Mmm.  Looks easy that one.  I'll get it done later tonight, for a change.

16:44 <Schism> RSF: Preferential voting would also be nice.

16:49 <LibrarianofHope> put those in charge

16:52 <Schism> They're already in charge.  What do you thinK Malcolm Turnbull is?

16:53 <Schism> (That was of course a joke.  ...Scott Morrison's in charge now.)

16:53 <RazorSharpFang> No election, but a new PM. Hurray!

16:54 <Schism> Well, Turnbull stepped down in a de facto state of no confidence amongst the Liberals.

17:44 <Schism> In this case?  "With vanilla ice cream."

17:44 <DashedRainbows> Why am I doffed?

17:45 * DashedRainbows curtsies. Finnish!

17:45 <Finwe> LibrarianofHope: Indeed, pie à la Mode was invented in England back in 1888 and means that the pie is served with ice cream.

17:46 <Finwe> Notice also the correct orthography with à spelled with accent grave, which Mr Schism here seems to have omitted.

17:46 <Cepheid> Huzzah, two alchemy orbs, I can buy a portal gem now, Schism.

17:52 <Schism> Every freakin' time.

17:53 <Cepheid> For those not in the know:  The reason I want the gem is because town portal scrolls, unlike in Diablo 1 and 2, are extremely expensive in Path of Exile.  They drop fairly commonly, but not always.  It's possible to run out.

17:56 <Cepheid> ... Someone just reached a depth of 3,368 in Delv.

20:09 <Cepheid> As for how this place works, around the main game world, you find these deposits of ore.  You collect them, then go to the mine.  In the mine, you use the ore to fuel a small crawling bot that has a light on it.  Stay in the light, lest a grue eat you, as it travels.

20:09 <Schism> Hmmm.

20:09 <Cepheid> You tell it where to go, collect weapons, azurite, armour, and so on.

20:09 <Schism> Sounds like an inverted escort quest.

20:11 <Schism> Hehe.  Reread Skin Game, and Jim Butcher puts in a really good joke when Harry... well, visits the Underworld.  Hades mentions offhandedly that Socrates is in his domain, to which Harry asks what his eternal torment is.  Hades replies, "People question him."

20:11 <Cepheid> Escort quests usually involve protecting something.

20:11 <Cepheid> That's not necessary here.

20:11 <Cepheid> You just follow the crawler while feeding it.

20:11 <Cepheid> And try to stay out of the darkness.  A grue eats you otherwise.

20:11 <Schism> Well, inverted, like I said.  Still, I guess there are worse mechanics.

20:11 <Cepheid> Eh.  It's actually interesting.

20:12 <Cepheid> And fun.

20:12 <Cepheid> The rewards are insane.

20:12 <Schism> All the rewards from a given league tend to be substantial compared to the base.

20:12 <Cepheid> Indeed.

20:13 <Cepheid> The amount of items I'm getting out of this is insane.  I've already seen a few rares and heavens forbid a few uniques out of it.

20:13 <Cepheid> Because there's so much dropping, your chances of different classes of items is considerably higher than usual.

20:14 * Schism nods, "Hence, the need for a filter. Want mine?"

20:15 <Cepheid> Nah, I'll make one of my own.

20:15 <Cepheid> As for whereabouts I am, depth 11 so far.  Apparently the deepest a solo player has gone was 3,368.

20:17 * Schism mms. And nods, "At least item filters are easy to make. Don't forget to show RGB sockets, of course."

20:23 <Cepheid> Of course.

20:23 <Cepheid> I'm primarily interested in gold or higher gear, but I'll accept lower gear if it meets various requirements for certain currencies.

20:24 <Schism> And rings and flasks are not only inexpensive, but easy to meld.

20:24 <Schism> Er, small, not inexpensive.

20:25 <ADragonHoarding> volume-efficient

20:25 <Schism> That too.  PoE carries with it the Diablo style of inventory.

20:27 <ADragonHoarding> My work schedule change is turning out to be an excellent thing

20:28 <ADragonHoarding> My base mood and overall feeling of life has been a whole lot better ever since the schedule shake-up last week.

20:29 <Schism> I'd communicate that to your boss(es), tell them that you feel a lot better about working under those conditions and that you think you can do a better job.

20:29 *** Joins: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net)

20:30 <Schism> If you don't make it clear, then they'll probably just guess and you might have to go through more, even detrimental, shake-ups.

20:30 <Cepheid> Schism:  Path of Exile's adding an interesting new feature.

20:30 <Schism> Oh?

20:31 <Cepheid> Private Leagues.

20:31 <Schism> Oh, shared amongst friends or something?

20:31 <Cepheid> Basically, customized leagues for groups of players.

20:31 <Schism> Hmmm.  That does sound interesting.  Do those groups then compete?

20:31 <Cepheid> https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2245572

20:32 <Cepheid> Nah, it's more for challenge stuff.

20:32 <Schism> "This one's for the true masochists."  YOU DON'T SAY.

20:33 <Schism> This definitely all sounds pretty interesting.

20:35 <RazorSharpFang> I think my graphics card is broken or breaking.

20:35 <ADragonHoarding> Schism: oh no, see, I requested this one.

20:35 <ADragonHoarding> So, that communication? Already done. That's why I'm now working 9 to 6 instead of 8 to

20:35 <RazorSharpFang> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/139677590393716737/509827424507396126/unknown.png - this is the Dxdiag display, which thinks I don't have a graphics card.

20:35 <ADragonHoarding> 5

20:35 <Schism> Ohh, cool.  I'm glad they were willing and able to accommodate you.

20:36 <Schism> Might want to still let them know that yes, you're doing a lot better under those conditions.

20:36 <Schism> (And provide a few more thanks.)

20:36 <ADragonHoarding> Aye, at some point

20:36 <Schism> Well, you know.  Give it a week.

20:36 <ADragonHoarding> My position is one with a fixed schedule as it is, the main reason for the schedule shake-up last week was because I was covering the closer's shift so he could have the day off.

20:42 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang:  Run it as admin.

20:47 <Cepheid> So apparently Path of Exile is coming to the PS4.  Now all it needs is the Switch.

20:47 <Cepheid> And given the Switch can handle Diablo 3, it can handle Path of Exile.

20:47 *** Quits: [AFK] (Bat@Squeaky.Cuddly.Batpony) (Quit: And...gone)

20:51 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

20:51 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Path of Exile: Gothic Horror Ghost Child Pet

20:51 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, shows the exact same on Admin. Device manager doesn't recognise the card anymore. :3

20:51 <Schism> Oh gods.

20:51 <RazorSharpFang> Has a /!\

20:51 <Schism> I would turn off your computer for an hour, then resocket the card.

20:52 <Cepheid> Yeah, I would turn off the computer, remove the card, and put it back in.

20:52 <Cepheid> Maybe apply some compressed air to the socket.

20:52 <Schism> Probably the rest of the box while you're at it.

20:53 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

20:53 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Path of Exile: Celestial Cat

20:53 <RazorSharpFang> Gonna do a driver uninstall and reinstall too

20:53 <Cepheid> 'Cause what Path of Exile needs is a galactic kitty floating about.

20:53 <Schism> You said that wrong, Cepheid.

20:53 <Schism> What all games need is a galactic kitty floating about.

20:53 <Cepheid> Oh?

20:53 <Cepheid> Heh.

20:53 <Schism> And maybe a star wolf.

20:56 <Cepheid> I know it's approaching Winter, and at 4 PM, darkness is not that unusual, but..

20:56 <Cepheid> It's currently way too dark.

20:56 * Cepheid checks weather.

20:57 <Cepheid> Hum.  Nothing of note.

20:57 <Schism> Still light here, but very grey.

20:57 <ADragonHoarding> We have many clouds.

21:03 <Ali> Isn't that always how it goes.

21:04 <Cepheid> It's a 20 minute maintenance, in the meantime I'll go kill the Skeleton King.

21:04 <Cepheid> What with, ye know, having two copies of his crown.

21:04 <Schism> You get into something, then it breaks.

21:04 <Schism> And now you get a chance to collect a third!

21:07 <Cepheid> My army grows some more.

21:07 <Cepheid> This time I picked up a golem.

21:07 <Schism> Mud, bone, or blood?

21:07 <Cepheid> Flesh.

21:07 <Schism> Close enough to the lattermost.

21:08 <ADragonHoarding> Mudblood?

21:09 <Schism> In Diablo 2, necromancers could create an earth golem, probably due to the whole area being sodden with blood and death.

21:09 *** Joins: JonTheVGNerd (Jon@Pony-48j.p7d.45.70.IP)

21:10 <Schism> And an iron golem, probably due to all the iron in the blood of the dead.

21:10 <ADragonHoarding> Yeah, I played Necromancer for a bit.

21:10 <ADragonHoarding> I played all the classes save for DLC

21:10 <ADragonHoarding> though only ever beat the game with Amazon

21:11 *** Quits: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-joq9el.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Connection closed)

21:11 <Schism> I always played Sorceress above all others.  A Charged Bolt sorceress might not have been a viable class in the late game, but it certainly kicked all sorts of butt in Normal and Nightmare.

21:12 <Cepheid> Amazon, Necromancer, Assassin, Sorceress..

21:12 <Cepheid> I really should play Diablo 2 again.

21:12 <Schism> http://sirian.warpcore.org/diablo2/sparka-prelude.html

21:12 <ADragonHoarding> Assassin was expansion

21:12 <ADragonHoarding> I should use expansion instead of DLC, because it was an expansion

21:13 <ADragonHoarding> druid was also expansion.

21:13 <Schism> You can kind of see that in my current characters on other aRPGs.  Wide arrays of death which don't do so well against single targets.

21:13 <Cepheid> Functionally the two are one and the same, arguably.

21:13 <Schism> (That page isn't mine, it's someone else's, but he had some very interesting characters.)

21:13 <ADragonHoarding> Once I'd beat Diablo II once I kind of lost interest in it overall

21:17 <Cepheid> Cheese, Mushrooms, Roasted Garlic, Spinach, Garlic Sauce base instead of a tomato sauce base, Green Olives.

21:18 <RazorSharpFang> Uninstalled drivers, restarting, then reinstalling drivers...

21:20 <Schism> Not ordering pizza right now.

21:21 <Schism> Blood sugar is... insanely high.  But...

21:21 <Schism> RSF: That seems like more than just dri-- um.  Sanity test on your hard drive?

21:21 <RazorSharpFang> The graphics card is... misbehaving.

21:21 <RazorSharpFang> Windows stopped thinking it existed.

21:22 <Schism> Yeah, and I grokked that.  But it could be an issue with Windows.

21:22 *** Joins: Lord_Greener (The_Greene@Pony-c2p.vd2.48.37.IP)

21:22 <RazorSharpFang> All D3D applications are failing, and Device manager has the /!\ symbol on it, which is deeply disconcerting.

21:23 <RazorSharpFang> Also, I am now confined to a 800x600 display.

21:23 <Schism> Do a sanity test on your HDD, just in case.

21:23 <RazorSharpFang> HDD seems perfectly fine, how does one do a sanity test on the HDD?

21:23 <ADragonHoarding> that sounds like your system might be reverting to a built-in processor on the motherboard? I dunno what you have on that computer, though.

21:23 <ADragonHoarding> checkdisk?

21:24 <Schism> It sounds like a malfunctioning video card, but yeah, run chkdsk on boot.

21:24 <RazorSharpFang> I did checkdisk not that long ago, when I thought the ram was misbehaving.

21:24 <Schism> So, you've had a variety of issues in a short timeframe?

21:25 <RazorSharpFang> It's mostly just BSoDs, when I run graphically intensive programs.

21:25 <Cepheid> Time to commit skeletal regicide.

21:25 <Schism> Could be vidcard failure, then, or could be a dying motherboard.

21:25 <RazorSharpFang> I can run factorio perfectly fine for hours on 240UPS without issues, but it crashes on League of Legends.

21:30 * RazorSharpFang points to the onion. "Layers!"

21:31 <Schism> And cheese and green pepper and cheese and green pepper and --

21:36 <Cepheid> Thinking maybe I should up the difficulty a tad.

21:36 <Cepheid> Put it on the highest difficulty I can access.

21:57 <LibrarianofHope> doo it for great justice

21:57 <Schism> Throwing out a couple caltrops when I hear them coming might be an option, but I don't want to actually hurt anyone, least of all those tombstones' estate owners.

21:59 <LibrarianofHope> you live near a cementery?

21:59 <LibrarianofHope> i dont get the term

21:59 <Schism> A graveyard.

22:00 <Schism> Yeah, but their surivors probably do.  I wouldn't want to cause them undue distress.

22:00 <LibrarianofHope> thats true

22:00 <LibrarianofHope> albeit, where the ehck can one get caltrops

22:00 <LibrarianofHope> is is even legal to have that?

22:01 <LibrarianofHope> ohh, dyi style

22:02 <Schism> Bone horses show up everywhere, man.

22:02 <Schism> And I don't live /in/ one, just /next/ to one.

22:02 <LibrarianofHope> close enough

22:02 <LibrarianofHope> like right next or close?

22:06 <LibrarianofHope> never had one, no one to play with

23:22 <Cepheid> Turns out it wasn't.

23:22 <DashedRainbows> I'm on the train now

23:24 <Cepheid> I mean, brown recluse spiders, you don't wanna *YAY* with 'em.  But the thing is, they're rare up here.

23:31 <Cepheid> And, well, it MIGHT have been worth it... Were brown recluses more commonplace up here, and there were obvious signs of an infestation of them?

23:37 <Cepheid> I'm familiar with the brown recluse and it's damage.

23:37 <Cepheid> Friend of mine over in the Netherlands, prior to moving there, had been bitten twice in her life by a brown recluse.

23:37 <Cepheid> When I visited, she showed me the damage.

23:38 <Cepheid> Basically, you don't screw around with brown recluses.

23:38 <Thelema5> Ouch!

23:38 <Cepheid> But again, they aren't common here.  Maybe one in a million, or even lower probability of a given spider you see up here being a brown recluse.

23:38 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, are you enroute to a concert?

23:39 <Thelema5> Cepheid, they are very shy, hence the name

23:40 <LibrarianofHope> they pest control the library

23:45 <Thelema5> I don't have the ingredients. I'll make turk�y cutlets with a baked potato and steamed broccoli with cheese sauce instead

23:45 <Schism> Oh, very nom.

23:46 <Thelema5> I don't know why some people hate on broccoli. I find it so very delicious.

23:46 <Thelema5> Sausage, onion and mushrood sounds especially good

23:47 <Thelema5> *mushroom

23:47 <Schism> Yah, like a cheesesteak.

23:47 <Thelema5> Funny thing, I HATED mushrooms until I stopped eating meat. Now I'm obsessed with them

23:49 * Thelema5 goes to make dinner

23:51 * Schism also offers Thelema5 a little bit of turkey fat, to mix in some flour and milk and mushrooms and chives to make a nice white sauce for the potato and turkey, and then cheese can be added to the sauce for the broccoli.

23:51 <Schism> (Though since it's not real turkey, that'll just be vegetable fat.  That's fine too.)
