00:02 <PinkieShy> Hey DashedRainbows :)
00:03 * DashedRainbows pounces on PinkieShy
00:13 <Cepheid> So, that bus driver from the crash last week. She was on probation for prior two prior crashes.
00:13 <Cepheid> Apparently she's an aggressive and dangerous driver, as reported by co-workers.
00:14 <Cepheid> And it's come out that she working on a work visa, so people are gonna raise eyes at that now.
00:14 <Schism> This is my surprised face.
00:19 <Cepheid> Right then, let's finish up Blaster Master Zero, get the good ending.
00:19 * PinkieShy noms on the popcorn
00:19 <Cepheid> Oh right, I went all the way back to Area 1 to find stuffs. Guess now I gotta go all the way back to Area 8.
00:21 * Cepheid wonders if he'll be required to use the Acceleration Blast on the final boss. o3o
00:21 <Cepheid> It seems... not all that useful, in the grand scheme of things.
00:21 <Cepheid> It's obtained before the Skeleton Boss(Literally it's name), so it could have been used on that, but...
00:21 <Cepheid> Basically, Sophia III transforms into a cannon emplacement, charges up, and fires off a screen-high, F-You blast. You're immobile when using it.
00:22 <Cepheid> And it drains all the energy from Sophia.
00:24 <Cepheid> Area 7 is a pain to navigate..
00:40 <Cepheid> Heh.
00:40 <Cepheid> I like how the devs were mean enough to prevent the multidimensional overlord from being weak to your strongest weapon.
00:45 <Cepheid> ... Tank upgraded. Big time.
00:47 <Cepheid> And what appears to be a megaman-esque boss rush
00:49 <Cepheid> Man, Photophage is hard without the best weapon.

01:17 * Surreal_Nightmares noms Schism
01:17 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares
01:17 * Filly_Nightmares eees at for macaroni and cheese!
01:17 * Thelema5 tastes like a mushroom swiss burger and chips with malt vinegar
01:19 <Cepheid> This entire area is basically "The devs thought the rest of the game was too easy."
01:19 * Schism offers Filly_Nightmares some four-cheddar macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs and tomatoes and onions and extra cheeeeese.
01:20 <Schism> Cepheid: ... have you seen 'Wrench'?
01:20 <Cepheid> Can't say I have.
01:20 <Schism> It's madness. https://store.steampowered.com/app/936720/Wrench/
01:21 <Schism> The goal is to repair numerous racecars, but there's an option to completely disassemble them and have to put them together again.

01:27 * Filly_Nightmares purrs and licks it up her macaroni and cheese greedily! She purrs at Schism and licks cheese off of her nosie
01:42 <Cepheid> Heh. The Acceleration Blast is meant to be used on the true final boss.
01:43 <Schism> When it's -60 and you're eating noodles: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DxHymTOU8AE0Ksk.jpg:large
01:43 <Cepheid> Or rather, a good way to just end it.
01:43 <Cepheid> Can use any weapon you want, really, but the most appropriate way honestly is to just blast it away with a huge F-off beam.

01:46 <Cepheid> Oooh, Unlimited Mode gives me access to SOPHIA Zero.
01:46 <Cepheid> For the entire game.
01:47 <Cepheid> Basically allows sequence breaking.
01:48 <Schism> Always nice in a NewGame+. o3o
01:48 <Cepheid> Since it's a fully-upgraded SOPHIA tank, with all weapons, all equipment, keys included. The condition for the game is basically "Kill all the bosses, re-collect all the upgrades, keys and map."
01:49 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, there's Destroyer Mode, which is Hard Mode.
01:50 <Cepheid> Apparently the changes include... Top-down mode requires specific weapons to kill certain enemies. Side-view mode, apparently killing enemies introduces some sort of risk?
01:50 <Cepheid> Ah.
01:51 <Cepheid> Killing enemies in side-view causes a projectile to come out at you.
01:52 <Cepheid> Also, SOPHIA has a different paint job.

01:55 <Cepheid> That's just nuts.
01:55 <Cepheid> Your weapons do nothing to top-down enemies.
01:59 <Schism> Sheeeesh.
02:01 <Cepheid> DLC-wise... Gunvolt has all of his usual abilities from the first game. His primary weapon is firing small conductive darts at enemies, which he can then use to conduct electricity and shock the enemy to death.
02:01 <Cepheid> He retains his specials, Dragonsphere, Galvanic Patch, Luxcalibur. Likely gains new dart types and such as upgrades instead of the conventional weapons.
02:05 <Cepheid> Apparently, Ekoro has her gun from Gal*Gun, and has homing shot, angelic grenade, and ekoro kick for her specials.
02:05 <Cepheid> She fires heart-tipped arrows in top-down. Has a charge attack that results in a giant heart being shot out.
02:06 <Cepheid> And my gods, the pink. THE PINK.

02:06 <Cepheid> Shovel Knight..
02:07 <Cepheid> He has his shovel, it's melee-only in top-down and side-view. He has four specials. Fishing Rod, Throwing Anchor, Phase Locket, War Horn. He appears able to equip different items.
02:09 <Cepheid> Fishing Rod, no idea how it works. It appears to just drop a large anchor-like hook from a fishing rod. Throwing Anchor is a ranged weapon, but it strikes a very specific spot. Phase Locket makes you invincible for a short time. War Horn I ran out of MP to use.
02:09 <Cepheid> Appears to be a screen-clearing weapon.
02:10 <Thelema5> I think I may need stitches O.o
02:10 <Cepheid> Oh?
02:10 <Thelema5> I cut the living heck out of he thumb last night, bled like a stuck pig, and it's still bleeding 20 hours later...
02:11 <Cepheid> Oof.
02:11 <Cepheid> Yeah, might want to get that checked.
02:11 <Thelema5> Albeit not nealy as badly. When it first happened I was legit bleeding like a faucet
02:12 <Thelema5> And of course this being 2019 I took a photo ._.
02:12 <Thelema5> I'll have to wait until the morning, hopefully by then it will be ok
02:13 <Cepheid> We shall see.
02:14 <Cepheid> Anyways, back to my game. Last DLC character, Shantae. Can transform into an elephant(Dashes to attack!?) or a mutant(Enemy from Blaster Master Zero, moves around in any direction, fires small bullets. 8 directions.) She can throw fireballs for MP, summon a cloud that strikes with lightning in a + shape around it, or summon a swirling swarm of swords so long as she has MP.
02:14 * Filly_Nightmares meows at Cepheid
02:15 <Cepheid> Gunvolt and Shovel Knight have a blue tank. Ekoro's extremely pink. Shantae, it's purple.
02:16 <Cepheid> Apparently Shantae can transform on the side-view, into a wall-climbing monkey.

04:27 <PinkieShy> I took the computer glasses with the bluelight filter off..
04:27 <PinkieShy> Been off for an hour.. My eye feel very tired ish xD
04:27 <Cepheid> Yeah blue light affecting sleep is a thing.
04:27 <DashedRainbows> Meh I did that uncomfortable thing
04:28 <Cepheid> I was offered to add a blue light filter to my glasses prescription. I declined. Blue light can be reduced through software methods on devices.
04:28 <Cepheid> Or you can just apply a separate screen filter to a display.
04:29 * DashedRainbows tastes Thelema5
04:30 <PinkieShy> I was told if you have prescription glasses the filter on them can be free for some people..
04:31 <PinkieShy> But i was told by a Dr that when i tell the eye dr about being a heavy gamer and PC user he would probably want me to get $80 glasses that blocks the bluelight in a high percent in just a low percentage

04:35 <Cepheid> Any extras are not free too.

04:38 <DashedRainbows> How is the Thelema5 today?

17:34 * Schism rolls over and boops SunsetShimmer with a pizza. It has ham and pineapple.
17:35 <Schism> !link uotapo
17:36 <DerpyBot> https://derpibooru.org/1224979
17:36 <Schism> Oh fine, let's go with this one instead.

17:37 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this picture is about food safe hungry female solo (and 13 more)
17:37 * SunsetShimmer boops a Schism and noms the pizza - is good!
17:38 <SunsetShimmer> And finally, after being wrong a couple of times, the AA hour long 'turnabout memories' special aired - pretty great. o3o
17:39 <Schism> At some point I really should watch that anime. o3o;
17:40 <Schism> ( http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=123013 )
17:40 <SunsetShimmer> x3 Well, you have a season and a half to binge watch lazily at some point then
17:41 <Schism> Also: http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0 -- count the references.
17:44 <SunsetShimmer> Maaaaan, can't wait for next Friday.....RE2 is gonna be soooo much fun to revisit. x3
17:50 * Schism runs the Lost City of Amdapor, requests assistance. Three BLUs show up. "Uh, guys, there's no skill in the Lost City." Three BLUs depart.
17:51 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-vk2vlp.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
17:51 * Schism adjusts the party finder to point out that there is no BLU skill there. Three BLUs still show up and immediately depart.
17:55 <Cepheid> I hate this house.
17:55 <Schism> Banged your shin on a corner?
17:56 <Cepheid> No.
17:56 <Cepheid> Terrible internals for wi-fi connections.
17:56 <Schism> Oh right. Furrfu, that modem still hasn't been moved?
17:58 <Cepheid> Parents wanted to use TV for Netflix/Prime, connection's terrible as there's this U-shaped wall in the living room.
17:58 <Cepheid> The wall is absolutely packed with metal.
17:58 <Cepheid> So it interferes with the wifi signal if I put the router upstairs in my room.
17:59 <Cepheid> For whatever reason, this doesn't work the *OTHER* way around.
17:59 <Cepheid> So I get a decent signal upstairs.
17:59 <Cepheid> At the cost of 1/3rd the speed.
18:00 <Schism> Smart TVs regularly use the worst possible network adapters, as opposed to whatever you've got in that box.
18:05 <Cepheid> That said, I need a beamforming AC dongle for my PC. It'd certainly help reliability.
18:05 <Cepheid> But that'll be dealt with later.
18:05 <Schism> Pringles can?
18:05 <Schism> But yeah.
18:05 * Schism goes into furiten /again./ Muttermumblegrumble.
18:06 * Cepheid starts work on a 3x3 matrix and associated 3-component vector class.
18:06 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Silent Falleym Releases and More! [ http://tinyurl.com/yb5qk4gf ]
18:14 <Cepheid> Funny thing, 2D translation is impossible with a 2x2 matrix, while 2D rotation, 2D scaling and 2D shearing are possible with a 2x2 matrix.
18:14 <Schism> That seems counterintuitive.
18:15 <Cepheid> You need a minimum of a 3x3 matrix for proper 2D transformations.
18:15 <Cepheid> Though..
18:15 <Schism> I'm thinking geometrically, not mathematically...
18:16 <Cepheid> If you need or want translation and just want to use only 2x2 matrices, you can get away with a separate approach.
18:16 <Cepheid> Translations are just "Just add this X value to the vector's X component, Y value to vector's Y component, etc, etc, etc."
18:17 <Cepheid> Officially, you don't even need a translation matrix. It's just useful to *HAVE* because you can multiply all the matrices together into a single matrix, and then multiply multiple vectors by that matrix.
18:17 <Schism> That's what I figured. And similar values to X* and Y*, X' and Y'.
18:17 <Cepheid> For translations, you can just do vector-vector addition.
18:17 <Cepheid> Then multiply by the rotation/shear/scale stuff.
18:18 <Schism> Oh wait, duh. Because you can't draw a line segment on its own.
18:19 <Schism> In that fashion, anyway.
18:19 <Cepheid> In any case, usual setups for graphics APIs these days is to multiply a world matrix by a view matrix, then by a projection matrix.
18:19 <Cepheid> So you want all matrix operations to begin with to make stuff easy.
18:19 * Schism frowns at his right arm, which has three welts. "Unless I've turned into a werefox of late, I'm not sure from where these came." He looks at his nails, which are down to the quick.
18:20 <Cepheid> So a 3x3 matrix is better than a 2x2 matrix and vector addition.
18:20 <Schism> That does make sense, aye.
18:21 <Cepheid> Because for the above multiplication, a 2x2 matrix + vector addition setup results in some convoluted math.
18:21 <Cepheid> Whereas with 3x3, you can pre-multiply all 3 matrices, then just multiply each vector input with the resultant matrix.
18:23 <Cepheid> I think the 2x2 + vector approach would require... (((((i_v + world_v) + world_m) + view_v) * view_m) + proj_v) * proj_m, or something obtuse like that, for each input vector.
18:24 <Cepheid> Where I can just pre-compute the 3x3 matrix once, then do (i_v * modelViewProjection_Matrix) for each input vector.
18:27 <Cepheid> MATH! It's great.
18:27 <Cepheid> Annoying though.
18:30 <Cepheid> Honestly I'm thinking that despite all the code-duplication, it may just be better to implement 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 matrices as individual classes, instead of templatizing them.
18:46 <Thelema5> If anypony here EVER thinks about trying a scorpion pepper- DON'T. I'm no stranger to extremely hot foods... this is different. This is NOT a food.
18:47 <Thelema5> The pain upon eating it was unlike anything I'd experienced before, but even worse was the duration... the heat slowly built up over the first 5 minutes, peaked for about 10 minutes, and slowly improved over the next half hour.
18:49 <Thelema5> Then came the stomach cramps. Holy hell. Wave after wave of intense agony, I mean laying on the floor groaning in pain. For another 15 minutes.
18:49 <Thelema5> Just say no.
18:50 <SunsetShimmer> xDD
18:50 <SunsetShimmer> Pooooor Thelema5
18:51 <Thelema5> I am now dreading it reaching the other end of my alimentary canal
18:51 <Thelema5> O.o
18:51 <SunsetShimmer> RIP, bud
18:51 <Schism> Thelema5: Milk... milk is your friend...
18:51 <SunsetShimmer> Truth
18:51 <Thelema5> I don't have any...
18:51 <Thelema5> The worst is over and I fear milk wouldn't catch up.
18:52 <Schism> Bread?
18:52 <SunsetShimmer> I think its too late for supplementary aids, Schism
18:52 <Thelema5> Yeah, I'll have some
18:52 <Thelema5> Me too, SunsetShimmer
18:52 <Thelema5> XD
18:52 <SunsetShimmer> Been nice knowing ya. xD
18:52 <Thelema5> Heh
19:00 <Schism> A little bread will help, so it doesn't, ah... hurt too much when you evacuate the pepper.

19:07 <Cepheid> Man, matrices and vectors are silly.
19:08 <Cepheid> vector * row-major matrix != row-major matrix * vector. However, row-major matrix * vector = vector * column-major matrix.
19:09 <Cepheid> And OpenGL makes it worse.
19:10 <Cepheid> The OpenGL API expects row-major matrices from the application. But GLSL treats it as column-major. Or some weird stuff.

21:07 <Cepheid> Such a weird way to implement multidimensional access using operator[].
21:16 <Cepheid> This'll make it easier for me to do the OpenGL uniform stuff without having to gain direct access to the internals of the class, thus breaking encapsulation.

22:00 <DashedRainbows> trying to get a working gcam on my phone
22:01 <Schism> Listening to terribad music.
22:02 <Schism> Dschinghis Khan was so very, very 1970s.
22:10 <Schism> "What the CRAP?!" "New spell. Creates illusions, and functions as a localized displacement. Also, an instant headache."
22:11 * Schism briefly appears to be in four places at once. Then he collapses into a puddle.
22:17 <Cepheid> Heh.

22:31 <Cepheid> Apparently, my professor for Japanese is looking for students to partake in a Japanese singing competition.
22:32 <Schism> Cepheid: I'd like to be a fly on the wall if you try singing "God Only Knows".
22:33 <Schism> Er, "God Knows".

22:43 <PinkieShy> I love that role in werewolf :P He makes people go crazy by making anyone say crazy stuff.
22:51 <Cepheid> As is expected.
22:51 <PinkieShy> Just had an idea i need to try when i host a game soon :P
22:51 <Cepheid> Cthulhu is one of the Old Gods, simply looking at him is supposed to drive people insane.
22:51 <Cepheid> The Cthulhu seen in the Dragon: Marked for Death game is a tad different. Appears to be an absolutely massive squid with numerous tentacles that do different things.
22:52 <Cepheid> ... Mostly kill you.
22:52 <PinkieShy> Burger chief which makes everyone he gives a burger to, loses their ability for the whole game, and big chungus role which would be they sit on people in the village and it eliminates them :P
22:53 <PinkieShy> In the game you can die to Cthulhu coming out of the sky to kill you :P and it plays this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxScTbIUvoA
