00:00 <Schism> I haven't enough familiarity with Arris as a manufacturer, but I'm pretty sure that's the same line of product. Arris merged with Motorola.
00:00 <Schism> Still, if yours is still Motorola-branded, that means that it's a piece of kit at least five years old and thus worthy of replacement.
00:00 <PinkieShy> Schism is the new one just without McAfee https://www.bestbuy.com/site/arris-surfboard-ac1900-dual-band-wireless-ac-router-with-docsis-3-0-cable-modem-black/6059101.p?skuId=6059101 My current is Moto Surfboard sbg6580
00:01 <Schism> 6580?! Does that thing even have wireless-N or WPA2?
00:01 <PinkieShy> I don't know?

00:02 <Schism> Okay, DOCSIS 3, 802.11n... not totally useless, but get a replacement ASAP if you've the option.

01:15 <Thelema5> Whoah, you don't need muct of theat pepper dust O.o
01:15 <Thelema5> *much
01:16 <Thelema5> Did anypony do anything out of the ordinary for the holiday?
01:16 <Cepheid> Not really.
01:19 <Thelema5> Two weeks ago I expected the same for myself, but instead I was invited to my (estranged) partner's family gathering- what we usually do as a couple each Xmas. It's a true testament to the efficacy of my meds that I was able to get there, an hour away and across a 500' tall mile ling bridge
01:19 <Thelema5> So that was nice, although a bit awkward.
01:21 <Thelema5> I feel as thought it was a pity invite, even though she insists it wasn't. That's what you tell everyone who is a pity invite
01:23 <Thelema5> Hmmm, Kewpie mayo really is the best

02:01 <BarryFromMars> Instead of that, the plug melted into the extension cord.
02:01 <Thelema5> Ouch. How many amps was the heater drawing?
02:01 <BarryFromMars> No clue, all I know is it looks like it's a heater form the 70s...
02:02 <BarryFromMars> Maybe the 80s.
02:02 <BarryFromMars> It's not like the extension cord was small, either.
02:02 <Thelema5> That's almost as dangerous as using a 1970's slow cooker

02:07 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
02:07 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Kitchenaid Model 4C restoration in Flame Red
02:08 <Schism> For those moments in history when 'plastic' wasn't a slur, and people could say 'bakelite' without giggling.
02:08 <Cepheid> Hmm?
02:09 <Schism> Thelema5's note on kitchenware.
02:09 <Cepheid> Ah.
02:10 <Cepheid> I figured out what to do, Schism. It's obtuse as hell, but it's All There In The Game.
02:10 <BarryFromMars> I like the looks of this Kitchen Aid Mixer.
02:11 <Schism> The worst part of La*Mulana is that the hint for where to proceed next is always somewhere...
02:11 <Schism> Well. Almost always.
02:11 <Cepheid> That said, one of the hints is, for the moment, misleading.
02:12 <Cepheid> The path forward is... straightforward, if you know where to look.
02:12 <Thelema5> I love old tech. Check out this old Edison Comfort Heater I found in the woods https://i.imgur.com/49swByd.jpg
02:12 <Cepheid> Once the location is found, it's solving the riddle that's troublesome.
02:13 <Thelema5> Well, it's really just the control panel
02:14 <Cepheid> ... Oh, right, I completed the translation software now.
02:14 <Schism> Oh, nice.
02:14 <Schism> So what's that secret tablet at the bottom of the Temple of Moonlight read?

02:15 <Cepheid> In fact, I got a lot of backtracking to do now.
02:16 <Cepheid> I have to find all the tablets I couldn't read. o3o
02:16 <Schism> Most of them, of course, won't tell you anything you don't already know.

02:23 <BarryFromMars> Yes.
02:24 <BarryFromMars> I wanted to get the original SIms complete collection (all expansions in one package) but it had only just been discontinued when I was thinking of buying it.
02:24 <Schism> PinkieShy, but after rereleasing the Sims 2 with all the DLC, fans would have no reason to to out and buy the Sims 6, with three consecutive Season Passes and a MaxisLife(tm!) subscription.

02:25 <Cepheid> Ah, heh.
02:25 <Schism> We skipped 5!

02:25 <BarryFromMars> :)
02:25 <PinkieShy> Schism Microsoft skipped 9 :P
02:25 <Schism> Nah, they just called it 8.1.
02:25 <BarryFromMars> They also took a turn into whattheheckville.
02:25 <BarryFromMars> Xbox - Xbox 360 - Xbox One - Xbox One X
02:25 <Cepheid> There's supposedly a story behind that, PinkieShy. Can't verify the details, but..
02:26 <Cepheid> It goes along the lines of "developers looking at a version string and checking for 9x" where x meant "anything."
02:26 <Schism> Oh, ouch.
02:26 <Cepheid> Thus, software run on Windows 9 would think they're running on 95 or 98.
02:27 <PinkieShy> I always thought it was they wanted to do us one better.. Skip What would have been 9 and jump right to the future which is 10.
02:27 <Cepheid> If they were coded to do so, that is.
02:27 <Schism> Yanno, Microsoft should have just released Windows with their internal naming schema. Longhorn, Whistler, et cetera.

02:29 <Schism> Also, for comedic value, Windows Server 2012's internal codename was "Windows Server 8."
02:30 <Schism> There's a certain schadenfreude to seeing Microsoft developers cause each other massive headaches.

02:33 <PinkieShy> Schism I kinda got a feeling.. What if Windows 8 was just a complete joke.. I mean to me it kinda was without the start menu
02:33 <Cepheid> As well as Mausoleum and Guidance. No extra notes.
02:34 <Schism> Also, Windows 10 was codenamed "Threshold" from the Halo series, without much care for what happens to human installations in the Bungie metaverse.
02:34 <Thelema5> Even bit tech corporations can't predict future market trends, PinkieShy
02:34 <Thelema5> *big
02:34 <Cepheid> Windows 8 was a legitimate attempt to try and create a mobile, tablet-based OS. It didn't end well.
02:37 <Thelema5> Yeah, but misguided attempt, as tablet use has declined significantly since the advent of larger format smart phone- now just taking less than 3% of market share http://gs.statcounter.com/platform-market-share/desktop-mobile-tablet
02:38 <Thelema5> They were betting on tablets taking off, but then phones got bigger (essentially mini tablets)
02:40 <Thelema5> My tablet is collecting dust in a drawer right not, even though I'm online about 20 hours a day. I'd say 50% of that is using desktop, 20% on mobile, and 30% on mobile

02:55 <Cepheid> That's all the frontworld tablets recorded.

14:40 * Finwe snuggles a Filly_Nightmares.
14:48 * Schism nlems, awakening.
14:48 <Schism> Cepheid: The foot-less Neptune in the Twin Labyrinths, "Step forth boldly, and the flying pedestal shall ... begin to fly, or something. It's that one puzzle where you had to hit the floating platform from high enough to do the 'collapse' animation.
14:55 <Schism> Pahaha. There was a drone flying over a football game in Argentina, generally being annoying -- so one of the spectators took it out with a roll of toilet paper.
15:02 <ADragonHoarding> Well done!
15:49 * Cepheid awakens.
15:49 <Finwe> o3o
15:54 <Cepheid> Yeah I figured as such Schism. It was the only puzzle that matched up.
15:59 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, have you made any progress yourself?
16:01 <Schism> Not really, have been takin' a break from it. Heh.
16:03 <Cepheid> Myself, I cannot stop. I must not stop.
16:03 <Cepheid> The ruins must not beat me.

16:08 <Cepheid> Apparently, a garbage man lost his mind this morning. My dad saw him going ballistic and attacking a green bin. Kicking, punching it, etc.
16:10 <Schism> Maybe he was taking Boxing Day literally.
16:12 <Cepheid> Perhaps.
16:16 <Cepheid> You've been keeping track of the gemstone associations, weights and colours, right?
16:17 <Schism> Well, I've been keeping track of the associations at least.
16:17 <Cepheid> Good.
16:17 <Cepheid> I didn't. I have to go find all the notes on it again.
16:18 <Schism> I've got the Onyx (Eloquence), Sapphire (Affection), Amethyst (Sincerity) and Ruby (Passion) thus far.
16:19 <Cepheid> Yeah, I got that hint myself. I know of at least 4 of 6. I need 2 more, and then their "value" or "weight".
16:20 <Cepheid> Problem is, that hint alone is pointless. It's reiterated in a later clue.
16:21 <Cepheid> As for it's purpose, it's not a critical puzzle as far as I can tell.
16:23 <Cepheid> I'm only bringing this up, because I want to warn you.
16:23 <Cepheid> The puzzle that they're involved in is a one-time puzzle.
16:23 <Cepheid> Once you activate it, you *HAVE* to complete it.
16:25 <Schism> Ah, I see.
16:25 <Cepheid> I fortunately realized my mistake and was able to reload.
16:25 <Schism> Does it at least tell you ahead of time, like with the Pazuzu trap?
16:25 <Cepheid> No.
16:25 <Schism> Lovely.
16:26 <Cepheid> The only reason I realized it was because of an achievement popup.
16:26 <Schism> And there's evidently a way to reset puzzles even then, or at least a fairy hints thereat.
16:28 <Cepheid> I know this hint is important, but *HOW*? Vishnu beheaded Asura with a weapon like a ring of light. Obviously the chakram being referenced, but..
16:29 <Schism> Hmmm.
16:30 <Schism> And there was that one boss in the Gate of Illusion which fired a much larger ring.
16:30 <Schism> But yeah, no clue. @_@
16:30 <Cepheid> Asura is a term for deities in Hindu mythology.
16:30 <Cepheid> And I know the monster you speak of, but he's required to progress the story before this point, as far as I understand.
16:32 <RazorSharpFang> By Asura, By Asure, By Asure! It's the grand champion! (Oblivion)
16:32 <Cepheid> Least, I think. Let's check that room's name.
16:32 <Schism> Cepheid: Yeah, he's the one that drops the Key of Eternity.
16:32 <Cepheid> Yep.
16:33 <Cepheid> And he's Chi You, a god, yes.
16:33 <Cepheid> But my experience is that he resisted every weapon to some degree.
16:33 <Schism> Kinda. I managed to beat him into the ground with just a few chakrams.
16:33 <Cepheid> The trick to defeating him was to strike him in the lower area so he'd lower his shield, and then jump and hit his head.
16:34 <Schism> Yea.
16:36 <Cepheid> ...
16:36 <Cepheid> That's a hard-to-notice puzzle and mural.
16:36 <Cepheid> And huzzah, chamber of birth map!
16:59 <Cepheid> ...
16:59 <Cepheid> ... Wut.
17:00 <Cepheid> There was no hint for that, as far as I know.
17:00 <Cepheid> Did I do something out of order again?
17:01 <ADragonHoarding> Everything.

17:13 * Cepheid writes down his numbers. o3o
17:16 *** Joins: Quill-Swirl (Nyah@Pony-jaks4r.res.rr.com)
17:23 <Cepheid> I think I got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8.
17:26 <Cepheid> Actually, I also know 7, with certainty.
17:31 <Schism> 7 is the image of the Twin Labyrinths. o3o
17:31 <Cepheid> Amazingly, no.
17:32 <Schism> Really? I could swear that's the number written on the Gates.
17:32 <Cepheid> Hey, you ever figure out that "A pedestal-like object under a portrait of a volcano?"
17:32 <Schism> Hmm. Well, I mean, there's a lonesome dias in the Twin Labyrinths on... I want to say the left hand side? Which has a volcano in the background.
17:33 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-qqqjcp.sntcca.sbcglobal.net)
17:33 <Cepheid> Okay, do me a favour.
17:33 <Cepheid> Describe a dias.
17:33 <Schism> Thing you plonk a weight on.
17:33 <ADragonHoarding> A dais?
17:33 <Cepheid> Ah, I call those altars.
17:33 <ADragonHoarding> Raised circular platform.
17:33 <Cepheid> Ah, that room.
17:33 <ADragonHoarding> circular is optional.
17:34 <ADragonHoarding> but usually what I think of with dais
17:34 <Cepheid> Now I understand. I kind of wish the remake retained one thing from the original.
17:34 <Cepheid> In the original, those platforms you put the weights on didn't disappear.
17:36 <Cepheid> And yeah, ADragonHoarding. That's what I assumed, so it appears my definition matches yours. That's why I was confused when Schism said Dias.
17:36 <Cepheid> Er, dais*
17:36 <ADragonHoarding> in terms of proper usage, a dais is a thing on which important pieces of furniture are placed. A lectern, a throne
17:36 <ADragonHoarding> or, an altar. The altar goes on the dais to give it pride of place.
17:36 <Cepheid> Right.
17:37 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, this Twin Labyrinths tablet makes little sense: The ankh is always in front. When thou findest the right spot think carefully on where that spot is.
17:37 <Cepheid> Given the nature of the labyrinth, one would assume that the mirror-like nature implies that something is hidden in the reflected spot where the ankh is.
17:38 <Cepheid> And I know where the ankh is. I found it, revealed it. I just need the associated jewel.
17:39 <Cepheid> And the only jewel I know of in the Twin Labyrinths is that fake jewel over in the Twin's Surrounding Walls on the reverse side.
17:43 <Schism> That one, I've actually found.
17:43 <Cepheid> And given you're slightly behind me, that implies that I *SHOULD* be able to obtain it.
17:46 <Schism> You've already found the associated hint, most likely.
17:48 <Cepheid> I have explored every single room in the Labyrinth, so the possibility is pretty high.
18:00 * Schism noms an apple with peanut butter.
18:00 * Schism also offers three lights to the heavens.
18:01 <Cepheid> You're only getting to that now?
18:01 <Schism> Nah, I'm just reminded of that puzzle.
18:03 <Cepheid> ...?
18:03 <Cepheid> There appears to be a partially covered glowing light on this space? ...?
18:03 <Cepheid> Oh, wait.
18:03 <Cepheid> Those are flames covered by pillars.
18:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Comics: Decisions / Merry Mistletoe / Shadow Shard #68 [ http://tinyurl.com/y7xc6nhx ]
18:09 <Cepheid> Zu guards the Ankh. This much I know, because beyond Zu's room is the Ankh room.
18:09 <Cepheid> Peryton guards a room of meditation. It says "this meditation room" which implies the Demon Altar room on his side.
18:12 <Cepheid> Meditation in the past implied just standing there. But nothing seems to happen in the room.
18:14 <Cepheid> The only thing I recall happening with this room was killing the four witches to make the black witch appear, then I went over to the demon altar on the other side, and voila the ankh appeared.
18:14 <Schism> Indeed.
18:14 <Cepheid> The jewel is a mystery though.
18:15 <Cepheid> A tablet says that the Ankh is always in front, and when one finds the right place, to think carefully upon it.
18:15 * Schism fries up some potatoes.
18:24 <Cepheid> Question: Did you obtain the ankh jewel before or after bombs?
18:26 <Schism> Before.
18:26 <Schism> If I'm remembering right, at least.
18:26 <Cepheid> Right. Just trying to determine a rough time of equipment I'd need, so it's none of this extraneous stuff I found.
18:38 <Cepheid> I've looked all over, I can't find it. The only oddity that sticks out to me is that the room with the jewel has an exact mirror opposite. With exception to the jewel, monsters, and jars. The jewel room also has a broken tablet.

18:39 <Cepheid> Nah.

19:10 <ADragonDreaming> Well, if nothing else, I've learned that this game is not for me.
19:10 <Cepheid> Which game?
19:10 <ADragonDreaming> the game you're currently obsessed with :D
19:10 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:11 <Schism> Adra: Yeah, La*Mulana is veeeery much not for everyone.
19:11 <Cepheid> Hum. "Reveal the light to the grieving twins. Reveal the light to a world destroyed. The hero confers light upon the twins as they hold up the world."
19:11 <Cepheid> And the twins are of the first child.
19:12 <Schism> Mhm.
19:12 <Cepheid> The relevant point is elsewhere then, not in the Twin Labyrinths.
19:12 <Schism> No, that's in the Twin Labyrinths.
19:13 <Schism> I think the story was that the twins raged endlessly against the world and each other, hence that poison you had to remove.
19:14 <Cepheid> ...
19:14 <Cepheid> I figured it out.
19:15 <Schism> The light of the world.
19:16 <Cepheid> Okay, I figured out a STEP rather.
19:17 <Cepheid> No obvious changes are apparent. Hmm.
19:17 <ADragonDreaming> On the other hoof, I might enjoy looking over someone's shoulder as they're playing and figuring out puzzles and such.
19:17 <Cepheid> I'll consider streaming La-Mulana 2.
19:17 <Cepheid> At the moment, I'm too far into the first game that it's moot.
19:25 <Cepheid> I like how the words to seal the power of the god that controls death, and the god that absorbs life, is held by an "innocent girl"
19:25 <Cepheid> If you talk to her in her sleep at various points, you find out she's not that innocent.
19:27 <ADragonDreaming> "Burn them all, danced to the screams. Five more minutes, mommy?"
19:27 <Cepheid> I would not be surprised if she stated that, but no.
19:30 <Schism> I pretend that Mulbruk is just mumbling about food.
19:30 <Cepheid> She actually does mumble about food, but she also mumbles about that "man coming in and doing things to her" among other things.
19:32 <ADragonHoarding> Eesh.
19:32 <Cepheid> I am under the impression that she has continually updating knowledge of the outside world.
19:33 <Cepheid> As she also mumbles about things she shouldn't know about, given her position(She can't leave the room she's in.)

19:46 <Cepheid> Got the jewel.
19:48 <Cepheid> Hey look, all the numbers.
19:49 <Schism> I still maintain that the Twin Labyrinths are the 7th field.
19:50 <Cepheid> Assuming each number is associated with a "child", it's not.
19:51 <Schism> I know, but if you go into the Labyrinths from an entrance, they're marked with the number 7.
19:52 <Cepheid> They're marked with what looks like the number seven.
19:52 <ADragonHoarding> but what is in reality an upside down L.
19:53 <Schism> 1 is the Gate of Guidance/Illusion (Eden), 2 is the Giants, 3 is the Temple of Sun/Moon, 4th is the Spring of the Sky, 5th is the Inferno Cavern, 6th is the Chamber of Extinction,...

19:57 <Schism> Admittedly, not sure where, if at any point, 0 comes in.
20:01 <Cepheid> This boss is a pain.
20:01 <Cepheid> I know how to dodge it, but hitting it in the second phase is..
20:05 <Cepheid> Gotcha.
20:06 <Cepheid> Nice try..
20:06 <Schism> Heh, tried to take you out at the end?
20:06 <Cepheid> Yeah.
20:07 <Schism> Still chuckle at falling victim to that one boss' attack in the Gate of Illusion.
20:08 <Cepheid> Wait, what? In Gate of Illusion?
20:08 <Schism> Yeah, the miniboss with the shield?
20:08 <Cepheid> Ah. I don't recall it's final attack.
20:09 <Schism> Oh, it collapsed, and then the sacrificed maidens below swarmed around the chest. If you stayed there, though, the ceiling would collapse onto you.
20:10 <Cepheid> Now, the reason why I argue that Number 7 is not the twin labyrinths. Though arguably your statement makes sense in the context. It's just..
20:10 <Cepheid> I have a bit of knowledge from the Philosophers. I've restored them.
20:11 <Schism> Ah, gotcha.
20:11 <Cepheid> And something they tell me implies the symbol for 7 is something else.
20:11 <Schism> I suppose there is also the fact that the number 7, in La-Mulanese, stands for 'Deceit'.
20:11 <Schism> That is, if Malbruk is telling the truth there.
20:11 <Cepheid> I assume she is. She doesn't have a reason to lie.
20:14 <Cepheid> Now then, what did killing Baphomet *CHANGE*?
20:14 <ADragonHoarding> Everything. Also nothing.
