00:07 <Cepheid> Schism, I need a hint regarding the fairy blocks.

00:07 <Schism> The only one I've found, I broke.

00:07 <Schism> Like, with the whip.

00:08 <Cepheid> There's like, 3 of them in the Gate of Illusion.

00:08 <Cepheid> And the only hint regarding any of them is "The fairies open it."

00:09 <Schism> That does sound like it should be a key fairy thing.

00:09 <Cepheid> I tried.

00:09 <Cepheid> Key fairy at all three spots, nothing.

00:11 <Cepheid> That symbol..

00:12 <Cepheid> There's a philosopher around here.

00:21 <Cepheid> Where was the one you broke?

00:39 <Thelema5> ... I have a song stuck in my head and I don't know what it is. Maybe I heard it no the radio? But i don't even know enough lyrics to google it

00:39 <Thelema5> Driving me nuts

00:39 <Thelema5> It's not even a good song. Crappy pop

00:41 <Cepheid> What lyrics do you know?

00:47 <ADragonDreaming> put on some other music

00:49 <Schism> Cepheid: The one I broke was in the Gate of Illusion, I think a room or two to the left of the Grail point.

00:54 <Cepheid> Oh.  You mean that block that shines light through afterwards?

00:54 <Schism> I guess?

00:55 <Schism> Sorry, am kinda foggy at the moment.  Just waiting for the last load of laundry to go through, after which I shall collapse for a few.

00:55 <Cepheid> No prob.

00:55 <Cepheid> I found a clue anyhow.  Though it's still leaving me confused.

01:10 <Cepheid> Solved another puzzle and... Oh look, a chest I cannot reach.  Even if I could, it'd kill me anyways.

01:35 * Schism waits a little longer for that last load, and offers Cepheid some chocolate eggnog.

01:35 <Cepheid> I'm not big on eggnog.  My specialty drink of the season is sparkling apple juice.

01:39 <Cepheid> Endlessness and dimensionless...  What does it mean by dimensionless?  Endlessness I can understand, that's the endless corridor.

01:39 <Cepheid> And that pit over in the Chamber of Birth is somehow linked to it.

01:39 <Cepheid> As it is with life and death.

01:41 <Cepheid> Wait.  What's that?

01:41 <Cepheid> Not... what I want, but I'll take it.

01:41 <Cepheid> Sacred Orb.

01:42 <Cepheid> Could have sworn that wasn't there before, though.

01:54 <Cepheid> Skanda, a large clay doll.  The one who holds the golden key which soars through the skies.

01:56 <Schism> A large clay doll.  Well, I suspect you've seen where it comes from.

01:56 <Schism> I know I've glimpsed that room.

01:57 <Cepheid> I for some reason cannot remember if I've seen that room or not, or even where it is.

01:59 <Schism> Huh.  Well, when you see it, you'll know it.

01:59 <Cepheid> Stands out much?

02:00 <Schism> Just a tad.

02:00 <Cepheid> Guess I should wander about, then.

02:00 <Cepheid> Explore every inch of the ruins.

02:05 <Cepheid> Is it in an area I've been in?

02:06 <PinkieShy> Schism i got a new router :3

02:06 <PinkieShy> Its Arris branded

02:06 <PinkieShy> DG2470

02:08 <Schism> Cepheid: You shouldn't have to search too far, considering.

02:13 <Cepheid> The really stupid part is I can't remember where I saw that message, and I assume it's around there.

02:13 <Cepheid> I literally saw it just a moment ago, and already forgot it's location. =.=

02:16 *** Quits: ChubbySheepLady (Arkomeda@Pony-5mtfsp.nu7e.bjtf.0587.2a02.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

02:17 <Cepheid> Ah, there's where it is.

02:19 <Cepheid> Well, the clay doll is not in the Tower of Ruin.

02:25 <Cepheid> If there's a giant clay doll somewhere schism, I haven't seen it.  I don't know of any room that had such a thing.

02:26 <Schism> Well, what would an unbaked clay doll look like?

02:26 <Cepheid> Unbaked clay is reddish, is it not?

02:26 <Schism> Depends on the clay, but yes.

02:27 <Cepheid> Nothing comes to mind then.

02:28 <Cepheid> It can't be the inferno cavern.  That'd just bake it.

02:28 <Cepheid> And that's the only really "red" place I know of, other than the Tower of Ruin, which is all mechanical and nothing else.

02:28 <Schism> Some types of clay are orangeish.

02:38 <Cepheid> Not in Gate of Guidance.  Not in Mausoleum of Giants.  I checked all of the Chamber, both sections.

02:39 <Cepheid> Whatever it is, it's obvious to you but not me.

02:40 <Cepheid> Also Chamber of Extinction.  Still nothing.  What else..?

02:40 <Schism> This one's a bit of an odd duck.  The creation of golems, the breath of life, is a common thread in many religious documents.  In some, it's said that men were even made of clay, birthed therefrom.

02:40 <Cepheid> I am aware of this.

02:40 <Cepheid> I am aware of what it is I am looking for.  I've seen images of it in the past.

02:40 <Cepheid> But this just eludes me.

02:40 <Cepheid> I am not seeing the same things you are.

02:41 <Schism> Well, the mudmen are clay golems.

02:41 <Cepheid> Yes.

02:41 <Cepheid> They don't do anything other than get in the way.

02:41 <Schism> And there's a room in the Chamber of Birth with a giant mudman form.

02:41 <Cepheid> No there isn't.

02:41 <Cepheid> I've been through the Chamber several times.  There's none.

02:42 <Schism> ... que?  I've passed by it at least once or twice.

02:44 * Thelema5 shakes his head

02:45 <Thelema5> Oh boy, I just woke up from a nap that I overslept...

02:45 <Thelema5> Meant to be up an hour and a half ago. I wasn't sure if it was AM or PM at first

02:45 <Cepheid> ...

02:45 <Cepheid> The room I'm in is Skanda's Room.

02:46 <Cepheid> But I see no way to get to the other part of it.

02:46 <Cepheid> Once I cross the pit, I walk into a portal, which takes me to the lower section of Asura's Room.

02:46 <Cepheid> I've knocked the head with a chakram already.

02:46 <Cepheid> I go around, climb up, and I'm stopped.

02:48 <Cepheid> According to the map, there's an exit in the other section, I go to that room, but all I can find is a weight-opened doorway, with solid brick behind it.

02:53 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/S7AAUA6.png This is legitimately the closest I can get to where I assume Skanda is.

02:55 <Schism> I'm missing something, too -- I can get a _little_ closer, but not much.  (To the right of that room is the one with the giant clay doll maker.)

02:56 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/k8nUxQy.png Meanwhile, this is the furthest I can get from the other entrance.

02:56 <Cepheid> The gate in the upper section of the map is closed.  It's unusable.

03:00 <Cepheid> What you're suggesting at this point is that there's another entrance.

03:00 <Cepheid> Since if you can't get further than that room, you're probably entering from that other entrance.

03:00 <Schism> Hrmm.  Just got to the upper section of the Chamber of Birth.

03:00 <Schism> And I see what you mean by that gate being closed.

03:01 <Cepheid> I legitimately don't know how you get anywhere in this place.

03:01 <Cepheid> Or how you managed to get somewhere I am completely incapable of getting to.

03:02 <Schism> Fumbling around for entirely too long in teleport mazes.

03:02 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

03:02 <Cepheid> Except there *IS NO* teleporter maze.

03:03 <Cepheid> When you enter the lower section, are you entering from that upwards entrance on the far left?

03:03 <Cepheid> Or are you entering from the leftwards entrance on the right-hand side?

03:04 <Schism> When I enter the lower section, I'm entering from the Tower of the Goddess' entrance, the one you've gotta swim up the pipes to reach.

03:04 <Cepheid> Same entrance, then.

03:04 <Cepheid> I don't know of any teleporter maze.

03:05 <Schism> I... erhm.  I may have activated something I forget.

03:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by ExplodingPonyToast: Hearthswarming Music: Arabesque Sympony - Jolly Ol Saint Nick / Daniel Ingram - One More Day (Osoch Cover) [ http://tinyurl.com/y77vxkp7 ]

03:05 <Cepheid> I know there's a dais that you place the serpent staff on.

03:05 <Cepheid> It creates a new teleport location.

03:07 <Schism> Just because I can get to that location, though, doesn't mean I can get any further, because the ladders block me and there seems to be no way to get past a certain block.

03:07 * Cepheid sighs. "Okay, now I understand where you're at."

03:07 <Cepheid> You're at the same blockage I am.

03:08 <Schism> ... Parvati statue.  Aaaand spike trap... ...the dance of life didn't do anything there.

03:08 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/q4GLwus.png You mean this.

03:08 <Schism> Er, Parvati Mural.

03:09 * Cepheid is over in the lower-right corner of that screenshot.

03:09 <Schism> Cepheid: Yea, that's part of it.

03:10 <Cepheid> Still don't know how you got into the other room though.  I cannot see any sort of path.

03:11 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

03:12 <Schism> Oh, I think I see where you're missing it -- in one of the rooms, there's a block on the right-hand side which you can jump and run into, which then teleports you elsewhere.

03:13 <Schism> Oh cool, perfume.

03:15 <Cepheid> Yeah, not the most useful of items.

03:15 <Schism> Eh, skeletons are common enough that it'll at least be slightly helpful.

03:17 <Cepheid> ...

03:17 <Cepheid> How'd I miss that haze?

03:21 <Cepheid> Want a hint on your end?

03:22 <Schism> Hm, sure.

03:22 <Schism> Tho I just got the Woman Statue.

03:23 <Cepheid> Oh, you figured it out then.

03:23 <Cepheid> Meanwhile..

03:26 <Cepheid> The dance of life thing confuses me.  What I remember of the tablet is that it showed 6 people, 3 facing west, 3 facing east, and then a person holding something up.

03:29 <Cepheid> I've kind of memorized the location and appearance of the tablet, at this point.

03:30 <Schism> What did I... what did--!

03:30 <Schism> ... okay, first things first, what did I do there in the Chamber of Extinction...

03:30 <Schism> And second, LASER, WHY?!

03:30 <Cepheid> Hmm?  Laser?

03:36 <Cepheid> ... Wait, what?  How'd that even-  I tried that before, why did it have an effect NOW?

03:40 <Schism> Hrmm.  Well, at one point one can reach an area in the Chamber of Extinction from the Chamber of Birth.  Something something Palenque.

03:41 *** Quits: SunsetShimmer (DJPon3IsHer@DJ.Wub.Wub) (Quit: nini!)

03:44 <Cepheid> My rule #1 for La-Mulana 2 is gonna be "See that wall?  Walk and jump into it.  Nothing?  Attack it."

03:47 <Cepheid> See also:  All weapons with overhang or underhang are strictly forbidden for use *ANYWHERE* an eye is.

03:49 <Cepheid> Also:  Murder all elephants.

03:51 <PinkieShy> My sim died :(

03:51 <PinkieShy> The grim reaper came to take him.

03:53 <Schism> But Cepheid, the elephants are /sacred/!

03:54 <Cepheid> Okay, nothing's changed, and I can't get anything else to happen now, so..

03:54 <Cepheid> Let's see what's changed in the Chamber of Extinction!

03:56 <Schism> "Sleep within the woman."  OK.

04:02 <Cepheid> Make sure the woman is with child, Schism!

04:04 <Thelema5> Hi DashedRainbows!

04:04 * Thelema5 hugs you gently!

04:04 <Thelema5> How did the proceedure go?

04:04 <Thelema5> I've been worried

04:06 <PinkieShy> DashedRainbows!!! :D

04:06 * PinkieShy hugs

04:09 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, how are you feeling?

04:10 <DashedRainbows> The provider didn't go as well as I hoped but I'm recovering

04:11 * DashedRainbows licks Thelema5

04:11 <Thelema5> Do you have a viable kdney?

04:11 <DashedRainbows> The kidney is being rather sluggish

04:11 <Thelema5> Aaah

04:12 <Thelema5> Are you in any pain?

04:12 <DashedRainbows> Yeah it's going now

04:12 <Thelema5> Damn, I so glad to hear from you. I was so worried

04:12 <PinkieShy> DashedRainbows I didn't get to say this yesterday but.. Merry Christmas :)

04:12 <DashedRainbows> Not much. The pain need nicked me out

04:14 <DashedRainbows> Yesterday I was still dased

04:14 <Thelema5> 'I'm sure

04:14 <Thelema5> How long will you in the hospital?

04:15 <DashedRainbows> Now I'm listening to music to pay time

04:15 <DashedRainbows> A few more days I think

04:17 <DashedRainbows> Like beyond sedated

04:18 <DashedRainbows> Glad I'm off it

04:19 <Thelema5> Heh

04:19 <Thelema5> Dude  I've been worried, so glad you checked in

04:20 <Thelema5> I wish you a speedy recovery

04:20 <DashedRainbows> How's the Thelema5 today?

04:21 <DashedRainbows> I hope so too this is driving me mad

04:21 <Thelema5> Fine, on vacation. Just relaxing.

04:22 <DashedRainbows> I'd be fine without the catheters

04:24 <DashedRainbows> How's the PinkieShy?

04:30 <DashedRainbows> It feels so weird

04:30 <PinkieShy> I'm doing great and geeky :P

04:30 * Cepheid sits atop Schism and thinks.

04:30 <PinkieShy> Just made a new Sim in sims 4.. Since my first sim died :(

04:30 <PinkieShy> Disabled aging this time to keep them alive to do everything i want the sim to do XD

04:30 <PinkieShy> How are you DashedRainbows

04:30 <PinkieShy> I missed you on here :3

04:31 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-09e.dcq.221.203.IP)

04:31 <DashedRainbows> I'm okay right knee

04:32 <RazorSharpFang> Afternoon.

04:32 <DashedRainbows> Yo

04:34 <DashedRainbows> My sister got me a pinkie figure for Christmas

04:35 <PinkieShy> I'm going to go play some Batman on Xbox one.. :3

04:35 <PinkieShy> Might need to update the game first.. and ugh.. connect to Wifi XD

04:36 <Schism> Okay... spoke to Philosophers.  Three of them.

04:37 <Cepheid> Yep.

04:37 <Cepheid> I can't find the fourth either.  I suspect I know where he is though.

04:37 <Schism> Also, got to the Chamber of Birth's grail point, so that was nice.

04:37 <Cepheid> ... Wut.

04:38 <Cepheid> I did the bloody dance, got the jingle, so I don't know what the game expects from me now.

04:38 <Cepheid> I've looked for hidden passages, teleports, etc.

04:38 <Schism> Okay, in this case, to get to that grail point, I had to look elsewhere for a certain treasure.

04:39 <Schism> First, have you managed to use that dragon bone at all yet?

04:39 <Cepheid> Yep.

04:39 <Schism> Right.  Found the Death Seal yet?

04:39 <Cepheid> Yep.

04:41 <Schism> Gotten information from all the NPCs?

04:42 <Cepheid> Xelpud says f-all.

04:42 <Cepheid> And the girl just keeps going on about the holy grail.

04:42 <Cepheid> I need to fill it with memories of all the lands, problem is I can't reach the grail point in the Chamber of Birth.

04:44 <Schism> Hmm.  Checking back then.  Have you gotten the Diary?

04:44 <Cepheid> Nope.

04:46 *** Joins: Reia_Hope (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony)

04:48 <Cepheid> I know of only two places to use the death seal.

04:48 <Cepheid> Up in the Shrine of the Mother, near the top, and over in the Temple of the Sun.

04:48 <Schism> Well, I take it you also used it to get the Life Jewel there.

04:48 <Cepheid> Yes.

04:49 <Schism> Oh, there's a death seal point in the Temple of the Sun?

04:49 <Cepheid> Wadjet room.

04:49 <Cepheid> Oh, the other death seal is in Tiamat's Room in Shrine of the Mother.

04:49 <Cepheid> But it just removes a block, and doesn't do much for me.

04:50 <PinkieShy> Wait.. What.. My Sim looks like he is drawing the pillsbury doughboy..

04:51 <Schism> Cepheid: There's that one which reveals a purple chest...

04:51 <Schism> I take it you've tried touching that chest already.

04:51 <Cepheid> Yes.

04:51 <Cepheid> I can't figure those out.  There's another one in the Chamber of Birth.

04:52 <Schism> Heh.  With the skull pillars out of the way... wait, where in the Chamber of Birth?

04:52 <Cepheid> Endless pit.

04:52 <Schism> Huh.  Something puzzle-related there no doubt.

04:53 <Schism> But hum, explore around the Shrine of the Mother now that you've gotten rid of the skull walls.

04:53 <Cepheid> There was only one wall.

04:53 <Cepheid> And it was in front of a wedge, which itself is blocked by a pillar that drops down.

04:54 <Cepheid> There was, inexplicably, a wall underneath the statue you used the skull on as well.  Hell if I know why.

04:54 <Schism> Hum.  Check it again?

04:57 <Cepheid> I've already tried time-stopping the falling pillar.  Doesn't work.

05:01 <Cepheid> Hum.  Obtained Bounce Shot. o3o

05:03 <Schism> Oh nice, I don't have that one.

05:06 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

05:08 <Cepheid> Can't find anything.  Also still can't access that one room near the waist.

05:10 <Cepheid> Which is weird, as there appears to be NO way to get into it.

05:10 <Cepheid> Mind, it seems weird that the seal in Tiamat's room would just be so one can use a ladder, but..

05:12 * Schism returns to the TWin Labyrinths. "Alright, game. What's the deal with the Demon Altars?!"

05:14 <Cepheid> Curiousity, Schism.  Do you have a Pochette's Key or Crystal Skull?

05:15 <Schism> Yes, on both counts -- the skull came first.

05:15 <Cepheid> ...

05:16 <Cepheid> I need the skull in order to do anything.

05:17 <Cepheid> Is there like, a dance of death I need to learn? o3o?

05:18 <Schism> Not as such... oh.  Did you get the Talisman?

05:18 <Cepheid> How could I miss it?

05:18 <Cepheid> With crashing noises and everything, it's right there in the pile of rubble.

05:18 <Schism> Well, you know, just checking.  Heh.

05:19 <Cepheid> I know about the mantra part in the Eternal Corridor, too.

05:20 <Schism> I know nothing about any mantras, but, uh... try to talk to Xelpud again?

05:21 <Cepheid> Xelpud says f-all.  He's back to his random "Leave me alone!" gambit.

05:22 <Cepheid> The only other thing he has said was that for a while, he complained that I walked in while he was in the midst of writing an e-mail.

05:23 <Cepheid> ... o3o

05:23 *** Joins: Tempo (SamShmuck@Pony-0854uq.fios.verizon.net)

05:23 <Cepheid> I put the talisman in my hand and he changed his commentary.

05:23 <Schism> Oh.  ... Right.  He does that.

05:25 <Cepheid> He mentions the diary,

05:26 <Cepheid> ...

05:26 <Cepheid> The mentioning of the diary is a FLAG?

05:27 <Cepheid> And now there's a chest over in Ellmac's Room.

05:30 <Cepheid> ....

05:30 <Cepheid> And now Xelpud's gone?

05:31 <Cepheid> ...

05:31 <Cepheid> The hell, xelpud?

05:33 <Cepheid> ...

05:33 <Cepheid> Come on, Xelpud, really?

06:00 * Finwe noms on Filly_Nightmares.

06:04 <Cepheid> Found where to use the crystal skull, and uh... huh.  I knew this would happen sooner or later.

06:04 <Schism> Hmmm?

06:05 <Cepheid> I found another area.

06:05 <Cepheid> And obtained the final map.

06:05 <Cepheid> Heh.

06:05 <Cepheid> I can't warp from or to here.

06:06 <Cepheid> Right, I'm gonna save this for tomorrow.

06:06 <Cepheid> My head's feeling wonky.  Empty.

06:06 <Cepheid> And I'm feeling tired, so it might be time to stop.

06:07 <Schism> Yeah, probably best to take a break at this point.

06:08 <Cepheid> 47 hours, and I'm finally approaching the end.

06:08 <Cepheid> I have never had a metroidvania last me 47 hours or more.

06:08 <Finwe> The crystal skull is not needed. The answer to the riddle is the crystal egg. o3o

06:09 <Cepheid> Would the crystal egg result in a crystal chicken?

06:09 <Cepheid> Or did the crystal chicken come first, and lay a crystal egg?

06:10 <Finwe> A good question.

06:19 <Cepheid> Schism:  I might have had less trouble leading up to the diary, had it not been for one mistake I made.

06:20 <Cepheid> See, when I got Xelpud's e-mail about asking him about any rare treasures I found, I immediately returned to talk to him, but he didn't say anything of value about the item I had acquired.  I assumed it was just him being stupid.  After that, I didn't bother.

06:21 <Cepheid> Had I bothered?  I would have inquired about the talisman, and been lead to the diary.

06:24 <Schism> Aye.  That wasn't a stupid mistake on your part, though.  You wouldn't expect that to be the case.

06:25 <Cepheid> Amazing though, it's a freakin' flag that's set by bugging the guy.

06:25 <Cepheid> Could have done it for the last day and a half at least.

06:31 <Cepheid> Yeah.

06:32 <Cepheid> It's more about managing the summons now and then.

06:32 <Schism> And remembered to block.

15:30 <Cepheid> Tiz, Spitfire, just once I would like to enjoy my morning breakfast and coffee in peace.

15:30 <Cepheid> Also, Tiz, where in the hell did that may come from?  It wasn't there last night.

15:33 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/soonapuding/status/1076694725057404928?s=19

15:36 <Cepheid> Schism.  Bosses of La-Mulana.  Contained in pocket dimensions that we rip open through Ankh/Ankh jewel interactions?  Or summoned to the real world via said interaction?

15:38 <Schism> I... /want/ to say a little of both?  The fact that killing them lets us use those doors to the alternate sides is a bit confusing.

15:41 <Cepheid> Given Viy, I am a tad hesitant to say it is summoned to our world.

15:41 <Cepheid> Otherwise the ruins would be full of holes due to Viy.

15:42 <Cepheid> But on the other hand, defeating some bosses has a physical effect.  Sakit, for example.  His statue is gone after the battle.

15:42 <Schism> Holes and eyeballs.

15:43 <Schism> Mmm.

15:43 <Schism> Hum, not sure how big Viy is, come to think of it.

16:12 <Cepheid> Which jewel?

20:18 <SunsetShimmer> Ohhhh noooooo!

20:28 *** Joins: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net)

20:39 <Cepheid> Schism, yeah, the Dimensional Corridor is evil.  Midbosses everywhere, no way to retreat if you need healing..

20:42 <Cepheid> I defeated Palenque, though.  Just need Tiamat now.

20:42 <Schism> Yup.  ._.

20:43 <Cepheid> Alas I need a nap.  So I have to take a break.

20:43 <Schism> And grats on Palenque.  I... decided to give up and just shoot him in the face.

20:44 * Schism nods. @_@

20:46 <Cepheid> I loaded up on Spears and flares, grabbed a combat fairy, and just went to town on him.  Had to kill him twice.  First time I succeeded, his ship killed me when it started descending while I was under him.

20:46 <Schism> Oh yeah.  And he leaps at you, too.

20:47 <Cepheid> And I was less than a few pixels from him.  So he dies, then less than a second later, I die.

20:48 <Cepheid> Also that intro to Palenque.

20:49 <Cepheid> Have to use a key to bloody start your own ship.

20:49 <Schism> The key, use the key!  Is what I didn't do to start.

20:49 <Schism> I selected it, and then thought I'd use it via the subweapon key.

20:49 <Cepheid> Otherwise it ceremonious my drops you back.  No Ankh.  One less jewel.

20:50 <Schism> And 150 coins shorter.

20:50 <Cepheid> Fortunately# go left one screen.

20:50 <Cepheid> That already-opened chest spawns a new jewel.

20:51 <Schism> ... wha

20:51 <Cepheid> Yeah.

20:51 <Schism> Well, that's cute.  I figured I'd need to just restart and buy a new one.

20:51 <Cepheid> Heh.

20:51 <Cepheid> The Ankh reappears when you pick up the replacement jewel.

20:54 <Cepheid> I want to make a game like this now.  I know I have the programming skills to do it too.  Just not the art or music.  Perhaps do something akin to the original La-Mulana?  Old style of some sort?

20:55 <Schism> The developers released a level editor for the original game, as I understand.  Nobody really took them up on it, tho.

20:56 <Schism> Also, darnit.  I could've survived and won that one, if not for my butterfingers.

21:04 <Schism> Crap, I d-- oh.  ... <32 hp>

21:04 <Schism> The hell?

21:08 <Schism> Well... I survived, so I can't complain too heavily.

21:12 <Cepheid> There is a combo of software that lets you survive a fatal but by setting you health to 32.

21:12 <Cepheid> But = Hit

21:13 <Schism> That must've been it.

21:14 <Schism> I kinda threw away the main set of software in hopes that the secondary group would let me survive Tiamat.  It worked, clearly.

21:26 <Schism> Serdab of Time?  ... oh great, my lamp is empty.

21:31 <Cepheid> Have fun with that one.

21:32 <Cepheid> I did it already.  First thing I checked when I got the lamp.

21:32 <Cepheid> Anyway, nap time.

21:33 <Schism> Done, some fish killed, and now I see the dia--

21:33 * Schism ...

21:33 <Schism> Rest well, Cephy.  And yes, I fell victim to that.

22:05 *** Lizness is now known as Luni

22:05 <Luni> Anybody here plays Battlefield V?

22:09 <Thelema5> Not me, but as a strange coincidence, the clerk was playing it at a used record and comic shop I visited today

22:15 <Schism> I fear that I'm not really given towards cover-based shooters.

22:16 <Luni> I pretty much play any shooters :p

22:17 <Schism> Perhaps we might play Q3A at some point then.  :P

22:18 <Luni> Even though battlefield isn't a type of game that I would enjoy by itself. I still do enjoy it because of the interaction and amazing cinemagraphic experience.

22:18 <Luni> Man, quake was a long time ago.

22:18 <Luni> I read somewhere that they'd made a refresh on it^

22:19 <Luni> ?*

22:19 <Schism> They did, but ... I like the original experience.

22:19 <Luni> Ah.

22:20 <Schism> Call me what you will, but the earlier twitch shooters were a more pure experience, IMO.

22:22 <Thelema5> +Schism, check out this record I picked up today https://imgur.com/pmuVVNR

22:22 <Luni> That's alright.

22:22 <Schism> Thelema5, OH MY YOG.  I am jealous now.

22:23 <Thelema5> XD

22:23 <Schism> You actually got a VINYL recording of a PDQ Bach concert!

22:23 * Schism squees.

22:23 <Thelema5> Uh huh, good find

22:23 <Schism> AT $6?!

22:23 * Thelema5 nods

22:23 <Schism> aaasaa

22:24 * Schism just dies. X3

22:24 <Schism> You have the best vinyl shops down there.

22:24 <Luni> I'm looking for a vinyl on dark side of the moon by Pink Floyd.

22:25 <Schism> Luni: For collectors of classical music, the thing Thelema5 just shared is like a misprinted Pink Floyd album.

22:25 <Thelema5> Schism, this was actually in a junk shop. it was just good luck

22:26 <Thelema5> Luni, are you going to sync it up with the Wizard of Oz?

22:27 <Luni> Ah, thats crazier

22:27 <Luni> I dont know what Wizard of Oz is.

22:29 <Thelema5> It's a classic american flm based on a series of novels written by Frank Baum

22:29 <Thelema5> A fantastical musical starring judy garland and about 100 dwarves.

22:30 <Luni> :/

22:30 <Thelema5> The is a popular idea that the movie and dark side of the moon, played together, sync up perfectly, wth tempo and mod changes with key scenes

22:31 <Thelema5> *there

22:31 <Thelema5> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Side_of_the_Rainbow

22:33 <Schism> Oz is considered to be as much a part of Americana as Lewis Carroll's 'Wonderland' is to the UK.

22:33 <Thelema5> There are a few good syncs on youtube

22:35 <Luni> Hm

22:36 <Luni> Theories huh.

22:36 <Thelema5> Hehe

22:37 <Schism> It's generally considered to be a silly little compliment - the two pair up with one another quite nicely, and that's all.

22:37 <Luni> I was just planning to put it up on my wall actually.

22:37 <Luni> As a piece of art.

22:37 <Thelema5> Nice

22:37 <Luni> Which it is, and the best piece of art is the one that can be enjoyed but wont be.

22:40 <Thelema5> There's a local beer and burger joint I sometimes visit which has record covers hung side by side around the entire perimeter of the building

22:41 <Thelema5> My favorite album art is probably King Crimson's In The Court of the Crimson King

22:41 <Thelema5> Or one of Jethro Tulls records

22:41 <Thelema5> Probably aqualung

22:48 <Schism> Honestly, album art wise?  Thick as a Brick, no question.

22:49 <Schism> Ridiculous album came with an equally-ridiculous broadsheet.

22:50 <Thelema5> XD

22:52 <Schism> It even had a crossword puzzle.

22:53 <Schism> And the best part was that this was Jethro Tull actually lampooning concept albums.

22:53 <Thelema5> Ha ha ha, I've not seen it

22:55 <Thelema5> Hmm, my google home device (JBL smart speaker) arrived a day early. My smart plugs, bulbs and chromecast won't arrive until tomorrow...

22:56 <Thelema5> I guess I'll just sit here having the assistant tell me jokes and sing songs until then

22:56 <Schism> None of those are going to work well out of the box, yanno.

22:56 <Thelema5> Yah

22:56 <Schism> Do you have a USB-MicroUSB cable you can use to replace the one the Chromecast comes with?

22:57 <Thelema5> ... maybe?

22:57 <Thelema5> Yes

22:57 <Schism> See if you can get one if you don't.  The boxed variety does NOT work well.

22:57 <Thelema5> Good to know!

22:57 <Schism> The charger works fine, the rest does not.

22:58 <Schism> Of course, this may differ based on release date.

22:58 <Thelema5> I

22:58 <Thelema5> 'll et you know how it goes

22:58 <Thelema5> *I'll

22:58 * Schism nodnods.

22:59 <Schism> Think I'll take a break, tho, and flump for a bit.  BBIAB.

23:35 <PinkieShy> Hey Thelema5 :)

23:35 <PinkieShy> Sold my old phones..

23:35 <PinkieShy> GameStop did something a little far though when selling the phone to them.

23:37 <PinkieShy> They needed my ID, a photo taken with webcam, a digital copy of my fingerprint, me to sign for it..

23:37 <PinkieShy> Fingerprint is a bit excessive imho over a phone.. XD

23:37 <Thelema5> Weird. I guess that cuts down on selling stolen phones

23:37 <PinkieShy> They told me they don't get to sell it right away in stores after trading it in..

23:38 <PinkieShy> It has to be sent off to Texas and they decide there to resell it or sell it for parts..
