00:06 <Schism> Not in this circumstance, no.
00:06 <Cepheid> Thank the gods, I thought I'd have to chant all the mantras everywhere.
00:07 <DashedRainbows> Better today even though I went to dialysis in my chair then was almost too tired to get back
00:07 <DashedRainbows> How is the Thelema5
00:08 <Cepheid> Hmm, actually the whole "talking to someone breaks it" makes sense, Schism, given the riddle.
00:08 <Cepheid> The tombstone fella tells you to do it all while not being seen.
00:08 <Schism> Yup.
00:10 <Cepheid> There are only two doors I know of that I have not gone through.
00:11 * Sleeping_Nightmares chews on SunsetShimmer
00:12 <Cepheid> Fortunately, I've finished the game, so finding this... It's not super-important. Nor critical for the next game, so..
00:12 <Schism> This is true.
00:12 <Cepheid> I'll look for it mostly in my off time, etc.
00:14 <Schism> Speaking of being quite done, sheesh. You remember that one room you decided to 'nope' all over, the one with the spikes and the knockback?
00:14 <Cepheid> Yeah?
00:15 *** Quits: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
00:15 <Schism> Well... I should rephrase. Remember that one room in the Inferno Cavern to get to Belial, the one with the flames you had to grapple the walls to get past?
00:15 <Cepheid> Puzazu, ye mean. But yes.
00:15 <Cepheid> Or whatever his name is.
00:15 <Schism> Er, yes. Pazuzu. Well, this one does that again.
00:16 <Cepheid> I didn't really nope that much over it.
00:16 <Schism> Ah, I did. This one, now, adds enemies, including those birds from the Chamber of Birth which had a tendency to knock you down into the infinite loop.
00:17 <Cepheid> You know what I find interesting?
00:17 <Schism> Mm?
00:17 <Cepheid> In the Eternal Corridor, there's two of those torii(?) that have the same symbol over them.
00:18 <Schism> Er, you mean the immortality symbol?
00:18 <Schism> Er, eternity symbol.
00:18 <Cepheid> The infinite symbol, yes. But I'm not referring to that.
00:18 <Cepheid> I'm referring to the symbols *ABOVE* the infinity symbols.
00:18 <Cepheid> They're numbers.
00:18 <Cepheid> But 0 appears twice.
00:19 <Schism> Oh! Yeah, I did notice that. 11 doors, not 10.

00:33 * Sleeping_Nightmares purrs and curls up around chili!

00:37 <Cepheid> Ye know.
00:37 <Cepheid> This is just too obscure.

01:08 <DashedRainbows> What procedure? Went okay I guess could have been better

01:18 <DashedRainbows> Still in pain around 4/10

01:37 <DashedRainbows> Probably not since a lot of people don't follow through and it is rather overkill
01:37 <PinkieShy> Ugh don't remind me.

01:37 <PinkieShy> I finally got up earlier this month when i had the cold and said screw it.. and took the nyquil.. Knocked me out

03:46 <Thelema5> Anything good?

03:48 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, if you still have a working VCR you'd might as well keep them- but definately make digital backups because your VCR will not last forever and I don't think any company still makes them
03:48 <PinkieShy> well not true.. But there is a lot of Disney.

11:46 <Cepheid> How goes it?
11:47 <ConfusionRift> Feel a bit like a mess, but alright.
11:47 <ConfusionRift> Work was a tad of a pain is all.
11:48 <Cepheid> End of year stupidity?
11:49 <ConfusionRift> Kinda, yeah. It's more of everyone getting tired of the stupidity at work, so they have become less... cooperative. A lot of call-ins, people leaving way earlier, and just plain disappearing.
11:50 <ConfusionRift> Customers not helping in the matter.
11:51 <ConfusionRift> I never thought that someone could become just completely and absolutely vague.
11:52 <ConfusionRift> In any case, don't sweat it. (pats Cepheid) And yoooou?
11:52 <Cepheid> I finished La-Mulana, so my brain can rest. For a few hours anyways. Got the sequel to do next.
11:53 * ConfusionRift looks at CrossCode.
11:53 <ConfusionRift> I really should go to town on that.
11:53 <ConfusionRift> And my queue list got bigger as well, due to presents and deals.
11:54 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:55 <Cepheid> La-Mulana itself... Good game. Needs a lot of patience, and inside-out, obtuse, inverted thinking.
11:56 <ConfusionRift> Heard a lot about that one. (looks at Schism :P)
11:57 <Cepheid> You would have heard a lot more from me if you were online during the day, but yeah. It drives people into fits of madness.
11:57 <ConfusionRift> Very "classic gaming" and "trial and error, with lots of errors".
11:58 *** Quits: DashedRainbows (uid13850@is.a.pretty.pony) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
12:00 <Cepheid> It took me 12 hours at one point to solve a puzzle. Overall it took me 62 hours and 7 minutes according to the ingame clock. Probably a lot longer in reality.
12:04 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me, there was this "out the beaten path" dungeon that drove me up a wall because I was already tired, and then had to frigging figure out this puzzle that made no sense to me.

12:07 <Cepheid> The issue here I think was either that the clues were obscure, or that the translation wasn't that great. Probably a combination of both, given the final puzzle that the game has.
12:09 * Sleeping_Nightmares curls up on Cepheid and uses ConfusionRift as a blanket and goes sleepies
12:09 <Sleeping_Nightmares> Nini!
12:09 <ConfusionRift> Have a good one!
12:10 <Cepheid> The primary clue was "Seek the fairy in the depths of the bones that gaze upon birth."
12:11 <Cepheid> The fairy in question is hidden in an area that has no bones# nor is related in any way to the concept of birth or any areas that relate to birth or bones.
12:12 <Cepheid> The only way you would have found it would have been to punch or walk into every wall in the game. Only to find that the clue was pointing to an area a few screens away.
12:13 <Cepheid> And that's assuming that the fairy in question can be poked outside of certain conditions.
12:15 <ConfusionRift> That reminds me. This dungeon of mysterious unknown mystery is locked, and not by the standard normal means of the game. Instead of a key, it has a pedestal with some signs (XBOX controller buttons and directionals). No one gives you a clue about its solution, at least none that I could find.
12:17 <ConfusionRift> My first instinct was the Konami code, for not darn reason. Tried it, didn't work. Then I spent a good while looking for solutions, clues, or something.
12:18 <ConfusionRift> Eventually, I gave in and searched it. It WAS the Konami code... but they switched B+A with A+B.
12:18 <Cepheid> I'd have been more at ease with this puzzle had the primary clue been a bit more clear. The leadup and afterwards of the step are relatively straightforward, aside from needing pre-existing knowledge from the original La-Mulana.
12:18 <Cepheid> But even then it gives you a pretty reasonable clue for that.
12:19 <ConfusionRift> Huh.
12:25 *** Joins: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone)
12:32 <Cepheid> Okay wow, yeah, you need a guide dangit or hacking to know that this is even here.
12:35 <ConfusionRift> See, those aren't that much fun. :P
12:35 <Cepheid> Well given it leads to an optional place full of insane puzzles and such..
12:41 <Cepheid> Cute, if you fall at certain points, it sends you back to the start.
12:42 <ConfusionRift> Reeeally cuuuuute.
12:42 <Cepheid> It's basically platforming hell using the game's physics.
12:46 <Cepheid> That said, there are some [REDACTED] moves in the base game as well. There's an item you have to obtain through abusing timestop and a one-time boss that you *HAVE* to kill.
12:46 <Cepheid> If you fail to get it, you're gonna have to rely on a really finicky method to get to it, and that method has a very low chance of working.
12:46 <Cepheid> And even then, you got puzzles after that, and if you mess the puzzle up, you gotta re-use that finicky method.
12:47 <Cepheid> But then again..
12:47 <Cepheid> That's not unexpected. There's two other one-time-only puzzles.
12:49 <Cepheid> I say, as I pull it off on my first attempt, the finicky method that is.
12:49 <Cepheid> I failed the puzzle.
12:51 <ConfusionRift> Eeergh.
12:52 <Cepheid> It involves using the enemies on the screen to cause knockback in mid-air.
12:52 <Cepheid> It requires careful precision and timing to pull it off.
12:52 <Cepheid> You jump off a platform, and hopefully at the right time, get hit. If you pull it off right, you land on the platform above you.
12:56 <ConfusionRift> Double eeergh.
12:57 <Cepheid> It appears they fixed that eventuality in the second game, a quick perusal of it's controls reveals the player has some backwards motion in their jump, but only after a certain point, and a certain distance.
12:57 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, it sounds like one of those games that requires you to either be very observational, or have played it previously.
12:58 <Cepheid> This is only for certain things. And in many cases, the game warns you.
12:58 <Cepheid> In the one-time-only puzzles, the game explicitly warns you.
12:58 <Cepheid> Other than the optional area and this one item, the game has clues to solve all the puzzles.
12:59 <Cepheid> You just... need to take a lot of notes.
12:59 <Cepheid> The clues for puzzles much later in the game can appear early on.
12:59 <ConfusionRift> I was always pretty bad at that. :P
12:59 <Cepheid> One clue actually appears about 4 hours in. It wasn't used until about 56 hours in.
13:02 <Cepheid> If it doesn't sound like lore, it's meant to be written down. Even *THEN*
13:02 *** Quits: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
13:06 <Cepheid> The game's even sneaky, at least, the remake.
13:06 <Cepheid> It provides a note taking system.
13:06 <Cepheid> But it's got nowhere near the capacity needed.
13:06 <Cepheid> Maximum of 20 notes, 10 if you're using the base item.
13:11 <ConfusionRift> It's like that map situation with Hollow Knight.
13:12 <ConfusionRift> Another on my queue list, just because I haven't done the DLCs, and haven't beat it.
13:12 <ConfusionRift> That guy sucks.
13:12 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:13 <Cepheid> That's one thing about this game.
13:13 <Cepheid> The bosses are reasonable.

13:53 <Cepheid> Hell Temple's easier.
13:55 <Cepheid> It's mostly about knowing when it's safe to do something.
13:56 <Cepheid> Like in room 6, there's those 3 demons at the top, and the ninjas.
13:56 <Cepheid> You don't want to go for the dais until a ninja has attacked you, otherwise you risk being attacked while in front of the dias.

14:02 <Cepheid> I'll be dead honest, Schism.
14:02 <Cepheid> "Seek the fairy in the bones that gaze upon Birth."
14:02 <Cepheid> The riddle is valid, but there's an issue with it.
14:03 <Cepheid> It's referencing the riddle as a whole.
14:05 <Schism> Okay, how?
14:05 <Cepheid> It may be mistranslated.
14:06 <Cepheid> It may be more along the lines of "Seek the fairy, then <something> in the bones that gazes upon birth<May have meant to be life>"
14:06 <Cepheid> Because the entrance to the Hell Temple itself is... in a bunch of bones.
14:06 <Cepheid> It may be a case of "bad translation"
14:06 <Cepheid> As admittedly, a lot of dialogue and some tablets don't really read or scan "well"
14:09 <Cepheid> I'd have to see the original line to translate it myself.
14:09 <Cepheid> Which, hey, I can do.
14:09 <Cepheid> I was mildly paranoid about the "mess things up" thing.
14:10 <Cepheid> So I made 3 saves before the "nightfall" clue.

14:11 <Schism> Sane, as odd as it seems.
14:13 <Schism> "The tablet ahead is cursed." Hmmmmhmmmmmmm.
14:15 <Cepheid> So far, my limited translation implies two things.
14:15 <Cepheid> 1) The translation for the game might be accurate, and 2) The "scans wrong" may be intentional.
14:15 <Schism> Also, nowhere have I found a tablet that mentions 20 rooms.
14:16 <Cepheid> Yes, that one was interesting.
14:16 <Schism> Cepheid: La*Mulana 2, and that tablet in the Mausoleum - you know, that one - is sitting out there in the open. Do I read, or no? :P
14:17 <Cepheid> Okay..
14:17 <Cepheid> Your choice Schism.
14:17 <Cepheid> It does make things harder.
14:17 <Cepheid> Combat-wise, anyway.
14:17 <Schism> Eh... I'll do a run on normal mode first.
14:17 <Cepheid> I'd advise normal first, hard later.
14:18 <Cepheid> So here's the sentence he spouts out. Let's see what the riddle translates to.
14:20 <Cepheid> ...
14:20 <Cepheid> Birth [wo] to gaze at. Thus, something is gazing at birth.
14:21 <Schism> Oi.
14:22 <Cepheid> Hmm?
14:24 <Schism> Gazing upon birth is a bit different. Isn't there a Chamber of Birth entrance somewhere around the waterfall?
14:25 <Cepheid> No.
14:25 <Cepheid> You're thinking the Tower of the Goddess or the Spring in the Sky.
14:25 <Cepheid> ...
14:25 <Cepheid> But now that I think about it.
14:25 <Schism> Hm, right.
14:25 <Cepheid> There is that winding passage underneath the mountain.
14:26 <Cepheid> Which connects the hidden section of the Chamber of Extinction to the Inferno Cavern.
14:26 <Cepheid> Which itself is accessed via a path in the Chamber of Birth.
14:26 <Schism> True, though the fairy hardly seems to gaze upon it.
14:30 <Schism> oh gods. I'd forgotten. Bats hurt again now.
14:30 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:31 <Cepheid> I wonder if it was meant to read "Gazing at the bones of birth" That is, the ruins of birth.
14:31 <Cepheid> "Meet the fairy gazing at the bones of birth."
14:31 <Schism> Hmm. ...wait, isn't there a Birth Seal there?
14:31 <Cepheid> Life seal.
14:31 <Cepheid> I checked.
14:31 <Schism> Oh, right. That'd have been a worthwhile hint, heh.
14:32 <Cepheid> Now that I've got all but 1% of the items, I'm spoiling whatever's left.
14:32 <Cepheid> Except the temple, of course.
14:32 <Cepheid> But, let's assume that it's "bones of birth"
14:32 <Cepheid> Wouldn't the ruins, as a whole, count?
14:32 <Cepheid> Ruins are the "bones" of an ancient civilization.
14:33 <Schism> Hum, true. Overlooking the bones of the Mother, et cetera. That sorta makes sense.
14:33 <Cepheid> What's left behind. So, if you treat it like that, and then apply "gazing upon.."
14:33 <Cepheid> Then whoever's gazing upon it, has to be above the ruins.
14:33 <Cepheid> And the fairy? She's hidden in a cave on the surface. ABOVE THE RUINS.
14:38 <Cepheid> That said, as you stated, the last step is a mystery.
14:38 <Cepheid> At no point is there any sort of clue indicating that you have to wait 19 screen transitions and then strike the lower part of the wall.
14:38 <Cepheid> There isn't even a puzzle like it.
14:39 <Cepheid> That said, hopefully LM2 is better with it's translation. Quick perusal suggests it is.
14:39 <Cepheid> Oh good gods, I forgot to save my progress in the temple.
14:41 <Cepheid> Good thing I mastered the first 7 rooms.
14:42 <Schism> Yeesh. And at least once you do a room, even if you link out, it still remains complete. Most of the time.
14:44 <Schism> So later that'll be helpful. x.x
14:44 <Cepheid> ...
14:44 <Cepheid> Nigori, man. You are *EVIL*
14:45 <Cepheid> Rather, Nakamura*
14:45 <Schism> Got to a punchline?
14:45 <Cepheid> Nah.
14:45 <Cepheid> Walk into a room with a bunch of turtles.
14:45 <Schism> Oh right, that one.
14:45 <Cepheid> Seems straightforward. Walk forward, fall through floor into the Hell Temple pit.
14:45 <Cepheid> Honestly, I'm not that surprised.
14:46 <Cepheid> It was my fault for getting complacent in a place called the HELL TEMPLE.
14:47 <Cepheid> Fortunately the trap is easy to overcome.

21:56 <Schism> Cepheid: I should note the swimming physics in LM2 are severely different from LM1's. Frustratingly so.
21:58 <Cepheid> So I noticed.
22:00 <Schism> Ah, you going through the Roots of Yggdrasil?
22:00 <Cepheid> Well ahead of ye.
22:00 <Cepheid> I've already unlocked a number of areas.
22:01 <Cepheid> I've been playing it earlier with my mother watching, hence why I was quiet.
22:02 *** Quits: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
22:03 <Schism> Lessee... ah, there's the Ankh Jewel. So now for the room beneath the three statues.
22:05 <Cepheid> G'luck.
22:07 <Schism> Eh. Fafnir was a chump.
22:08 *** Joins: Surreal_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)
22:09 <Cepheid> Heh, but yeah. I've killed two bosses thus far, and the game has opened up considerably.
22:09 <Schism> LM1 did the same.
22:10 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares
22:12 * Schism rocks out to the Divine Fortress music, which is very Castlevania.
22:14 <Schism> Guh. I should be writing down where all these murals are.
22:19 * Filly_Nightmares nofms Schism!

22:20 <Schism|Adagio> hum. That was a peculiar crash.
22:22 <Schism|Adagio> Th' crash worries me, by the way, because it was a straight-to-computer-off one.
22:23 *** Joins: Schism (Schism@royalkitchen.canterlot.equ)
22:24 <Schism> And that sort of crash implies something going very wrong, possibly I suppose with the PSU?
22:25 <Schism> Except... that shouldn't be the case with a game like LM2. Hrmf.
22:28 <Cepheid> You'd be surprised.
22:28 <Cepheid> I think I'm done for the day, myself.
22:28 <Cepheid> I slept well last night, but I feel exhausted.
22:28 <Schism> Mm, get some strong tea?
22:29 <Cepheid> I'ma eat dinner, then maybe lay down.
22:30 <Schism> Mmm, I did the same earlier.
22:30 *** Joins: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP)
22:30 <Schism> Also, heh. A man, upset with the slow turn of play, stabbed a hole in his fellow golfer.
22:30 <Schism> Article: "Argument between two golfers leaves a hole in one."
22:36 <Cepheid> Hum, interesting. La-Mulana 2 was made in Unity.
22:40 <Cepheid> ... Man, why even buy the soundtrack for LM1? It has it in ogg format in the game data.
22:41 <Schism> To support the creators further?
22:42 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
22:47 <Cepheid> ... The hell.
22:47 <Schism> ?
22:47 <Cepheid> There's a graphic of Lameza, the main character in LM1, dressed in a female swimsuit. ... ... This is the reward for beating the Hell Temple, isn't it?
22:48 <Cepheid> Oh my god it extends to the sprites of him doing stuff.
22:49 <Schism> Bahahaha.
22:50 <Schism> "This treasure must not be seen."
22:50 <Cepheid> Clearly.

23:08 *** Quits: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone) (Quit: The only things I need are books, friends and IRC. And books.)
23:11 <Cepheid> Hum, making a game like La-Mulana's pretty straightforward, engine-wise. Just tile-based rendering. Maybe a bit of blending, depending on the area(Shrine of the Mother and Graveyard of the Giants especially.)
23:13 <Cepheid> Looks more like it's just a bunch of layering upon layering.
23:15 <Cepheid> Huhn.
23:16 <Cepheid> Schism, I just took a close look at the map showed in the opening of La-Mulana.
23:16 <Cepheid> Eg-Lana is on the map.
23:17 <Schism> Hmmm, makes sense, as they most likely planned it that way in 2012.
23:18 *** Sleeping_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares
23:18 <Cepheid> It appears to be quite a distance away. About the same distance as those two towers in the background up near the waterfalls.
23:18 * Schism offers Filly_Nightmares a big bowl of warm chili!
23:18 * Filly_Nightmares curls up around the bowl!
23:19 <Schism> Well, we already knew that Mother could twist space like mad.
23:19 * Filly_Nightmares noms Schism
23:19 <Cepheid> This is true.
23:24 *** Joins: DashedRainbows (uid13850@is.a.pretty.pony)
23:25 * DashedRainbows licks Cepheid
23:29 <Cepheid> So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the performance issue I've been seeing in LM1 and LM2, which is a bit of some weird microstutter, has to do with the game apparently running faster than 60 FPS very rarely. Used Rivatuner Statistics Server, restricted it to 60 FPS. Runs fluidly now.
23:29 <Schism> Oh, is that what it is. Huh.
23:29 <Schism> Makes sense; when it compensates, that's when you get the stutter.
23:30 <Cepheid> Yeah, but there's no reason for it to. It might be related to how the game's designed.
23:30 <Cepheid> Game logic is locked to framerate.
23:30 * Schism nods.
23:30 *** Quits: Thelema5 (Thelema5@is.a.curious.pone) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
23:30 * Schism then also makes his trademark pot of stupidly-strong tea.
23:33 <Cepheid> I need me some weights.
23:33 <Cepheid> Dinner woke me up a bit. Probably hungry.
23:33 <Cepheid> Schism.
23:33 <Schism> Best get to the PC shop. o3o Just don't try to buy weights once and then decline.
23:33 <Schism> Hm?
23:33 <Cepheid> Next time you're in the shop to the left of Xelpud's palace, buy something out of your price range.
23:34 <Cepheid> Or rather, try.
23:34 <Schism> Already tried that, heh.
23:34 <Schism> She's as rage-filled as ever.
23:34 <Cepheid> It's freaky man.
23:34 <Schism> Also works if you start to buy something, then refuse to confirm.
23:35 <Schism> And don't forget to talk to Xelpud if you're poor.
23:39 <Cepheid> "You want me to get WEIRD on your ass!?" "... Lady, you're already weird."
23:43 * Schism hums, considering playing a bit of Chrono Trigger.
23:44 *** Joins: Kaworu (Kaworu@Pony-v12.ui3.159.31.IP)
23:45 <Kaworu> happy new year
23:45 <Kaworu> ponychat died
23:51 <SunsetShimmer> x3
23:54 <Cepheid> Mmm. Inaccessible ankh.
23:55 <Kaworu> i think it simply got shut down for good
23:55 <Cepheid> If that were the case, we would not be here.
23:55 <Cepheid> No, it's just a quiet period.
23:55 <Stormspark> what is ponychat?
23:55 <Stormspark> oh this?
23:55 <Schism> No, different chat service.
23:55 <Stormspark> oh
23:55 <Stormspark> IRC?
23:56 <Stormspark> IRC is dead period. Discord all but killed it. Only a VERY small number of people still use IRC, its only niche is for Linux related stuff because Discord still doesn't have a good CLI based client
23:57 <AppleDash> Anybody who was still using IRC when Discord was created is probably still using it today :P
23:57 <Stormspark> yeah maybe
23:57 <Stormspark> EQG has 1273 online right now, Mane has 1151
23:57 <Cepheid> People have proclaimed that IRC would die due to the release of <Insert Group Messaging Chat System> year after year.
23:57 <Cepheid> IRC is incredibly simple, it will not simply die out.
23:58 <Ali> Wasn't Skype supposed to kill off IRC?
