00:42 <PinkieShy> Foam topper came today :)
00:42 <PinkieShy> Just laid on the bed with it and.. I felt like i was in Heaven.
00:42 <PinkieShy> Lifting that topper was the hardest part though >.> 19lbs
00:44 <Cepheid> ...
00:44 <Cepheid> I lift 38lbs on a regular basis and carry it around with me. :P
00:50 <PinkieShy> It felt heavy to me..
00:50 <PinkieShy> I should probably lift more.. buy a weight lifting set
00:50 <Cepheid> I admit I'm being a bit mean, since I'm not taking into account size.
00:51 <Cepheid> Size will have more of a factor than weight in this case, since the larger it is, the harder it is to move around.
00:53 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, mattresses aren't so much heavy as they are bukly
00:53 <ADragonDreaming> *bulky
00:54 <ADragonDreaming> 19 lbs in a backpack is simple.
00:54 <ADragonDreaming> 19 lbs the size of a bed... not so much.

02:01 <Cepheid> So apparently, the founder of McAffee is on a boat evading authorities because he has refused to pay taxes for the last 8 years. And he's currently running for POTUS in 2020.
02:01 <Schism> Evening.
02:01 <Schism> John McAfee? Yeah, he's nuts.
02:02 <Schism> I mean, the man is genuinely insane.
02:02 <Cepheid> I re-iterate, anyone who specializes intensely in something is likely genuinely insane.
02:02 <Schism> Mm.
02:03 <Schism> Also, heh. Cepheid, Deponia is free right now if you've yet to play it.
02:03 <Schism> If you like adventure games, anyway.
02:03 <Cepheid> I'm not a huge fan of adventure games, or click-and-point types, alas.
02:03 <Cepheid> I'll grab it regardless, though.

02:10 <Cepheid> That doesn't make it safe, okay, or the right decision, though.

16:19 <Schism> Hiyas. And not a surprise, terribly.

16:27 <Cepheid> Ah.

16:28 <Cepheid> Look familiar?
16:29 <Schism> Somewhat, yes.
16:29 <Schism> Almost like that one bit right outside the Gate of Illusion.
16:31 <Cepheid> Yeah. That is exactly what it is.
16:32 <Cepheid> Those gates seen at the entrance, in the background at the waterfall, and most importantly, The Mother's initial phase.
16:32 <Cepheid> And yes there is a comment referencing La-Mulana. By yours truly.
16:33 <Schism> Ah yes, particularly the lattermost.
16:33 <Cepheid> That game shall be engraved upon my very existence down to the core. And not because of how difficult that game was or anything. My reason is a bit stupid.
16:34 <Cepheid> It was the first indicator that my mental health was truly improving considerably. Because the same day I started that game, I started the amphetamine.

16:54 <Cepheid> One issue I need to reign in a bit with my new meds.
16:55 <Cepheid> I sometimes feel a supreme sense of confidence in my abilities. I have no idea why. I suspect it has to do with how music affects my mood and thinking.
16:56 <Cepheid> Though whether that is a bad thing or not could be debated.
16:57 <Cepheid> It isn't like I think I can do anything. I know what my skills, knowledge and abilities are. My strengths and weaknesses.
16:58 <Cepheid> It is more akin to having the knowledge that one outclasses what is before them, in a given area. In this case, programming problems of varying types.
17:00 <Cepheid> And it is not a case of overestimating what I can do. In this case of what I am thinking about now, it is a legitimate case of outclassing the problem. Something I might leave to a teammate who is lesser-skilled, not because it is beneath me, but because I think it would suit them better for learning and practice..
17:01 <Schism> That doesn't seem like overconfidence in any way, then. Considering that you've generally got a /lack/ of confidence overall.
17:02 <Cepheid> I don't get it. How can one medication help with all of this? Just what does ADHD do to a person?
17:03 <Schism> The ability to actually /focus/ on something can be an incredible bonus, because you no longer feel like you're adrift at sea, clutching at six different straws at once.
17:04 <Cepheid> And being able to focus, I guess that would help in other areas. Such as analyzing one's self, weaknesses, strengths, and the like.
17:04 <Cepheid> As well as being able to grasp a larger overall view of a problem or picture of something, to better understand it.
17:05 <Cepheid> If your brain keeps derailing non-stop, it would become impossible to grasp certain concepts because you can't focus on them long enough to understand then.
17:05 <Cepheid> Them*

17:09 <Cepheid> But there is more to it. It isn't just that it is letting me feel confident in my abilities. It is also silencing the part of me that consistently tries to drag me down. You know, the whole "You'll never be able to do this or that, ever. No matter how hard you try, no matter what your successes say." Thing.
17:10 * Schism nods, "And it also likely helps you stop overthinking things -- you can reach a stopping point and say, 'Okay, that's done,' instead of wandering back and second-guessing everything you do."

17:17 <DashedRainbows> hey, this book looks cool :D
17:18 <Cepheid> Dammit body. Really? A headache this early?
17:18 <LibrarianofHope> im hungry
17:19 * DashedRainbows chews on LibrarianofHope
17:21 <Cepheid> If I ever did a self-insert, I plan to modify my appearance a tad. Around my left eye, I ppan tonhave some pulsating growth. Non-infectious, but apparent that it causes me considerable head pain.
17:22 <Cepheid> I feel I owe this infection that causes headaches some representation, for all the damage and interference it has caused me.
17:23 *** coppertiger5 is now known as coppertiger
17:24 <PinkieShy> Woke this morning with my back not feeling stiff :D
17:25 <Cepheid> I'm thinking something akin to three spikes made out of some crystalized, solid material, being heled by a biological growth on my face, in such a way that the tips of the spikes appear to be piercing the skin very close to the eye.
17:25 <Cepheid> With the occasional electric sparking/arcing from the spikes randomly.
17:26 * DashedRainbows partycannons
17:26 <Cepheid> Because that is what it feels like to me. Like I have a number of needles or something piercing my skull around my eye, occasionally jolting me, or causing a constant dull throb.
17:27 <Cepheid> The electrical aspect woukd represent how it can physically cause me to twitch or lose the ability to hold myself steady.
17:28 <Cepheid> I have no idea what these headaches are doing to me, but this is why I equate them to a migraine. I've seen what migraines can do to people, and while the cause is not the same, the symptoms are similar.
17:29 <Cepheid> I actually wonder what the best way to visualize headaches in a game would be. Officially, each type would be different.
17:30 <Cepheid> Cluster headaches, for example, I understand are akin to very precise, but painful pinpricking. There are migraines with auras such as seeing spots, tunnel vision, or outright blindness.
17:31 <Cepheid> The aura with spots couod be represented by little dots floating around the head of the person. Tunnel vision would be tricky. Blindness aura is tricky as well, because you'd have to differentiate from typical blindness status ailment.
17:32 <Cepheid> I am weird.
17:32 <LibrarianofHope> nah
17:33 <LibrarianofHope> you fit in a nice overachiver who worries too much
17:33 <LibrarianofHope> everyone is weird
17:33 <Cepheid> Way I see it, headaches can affect a personality. Thus, it would be interesting to depict it if there was a shift in a person's personality because of it.
17:35 <LibrarianofHope> probably
17:36 <LibrarianofHope> a brain chemestry thging
17:36 <Cepheid> When I get a headache, I tend to get irritable. It makes it harder to focus. Thus, happy-go-lucky becomes moody-and-annoyed.

17:37 <Cepheid> Yes. That is the general effect for me. I get irritable because I become useless.
17:37 <Cepheid> I can tolerate it. I can't work through it though.
17:38 <Cepheid> I usually end up taking Tylenol and laying down until it kicks in.

17:39 <LibrarianofHope> this conversation gives me an idea for my antagonist
17:40 <LibrarianofHope> better backstory than a sad wreck girl
17:43 <Cepheid> Officially, my character, when the headache is around, they would appear as above. When gone, I imagine the growth receding towards the eye. Visible, but barely.
17:44 <LibrarianofHope> i made 2 characters yesterday owo
17:44 <LibrarianofHope> i have about a 30 characters menagerie
17:45 <LibrarianofHope> maybe more
17:46 <Cepheid> I'll need a few characters for my project. Plus random folks who represent failed explorers who got killed by traps, monsters or other methods.
17:46 <LibrarianofHope> my method is using music and the lyrics help me create characters
17:47 <LibrarianofHope> might not be a universal option
17:49 <Cepheid> I have an idea for a number of characters. As for random folks, I'm thinking friends, and, if I decide to accept donations, when something visible is presented to the public, names(or chosen nicknames) of people who donated.
17:49 <LibrarianofHope> you going kickstarter route?
17:50 <Cepheid> They'd have a choice of having a random line of text, that I would have to review for acceptability, or the choice of providing a hint, written by me.
17:50 <Cepheid> Nah.
17:50 <LibrarianofHope> sounds like a game you doing
17:51 <Cepheid> Though it is a tempting way to do it. I would prefer just plain donations. Officially I am not going to sell the game, as it would be my first complete work.
17:51 <LibrarianofHope> kickstarter might be a good idea anyway
17:52 <LibrarianofHope> you would need a marketinng plan to get attention
17:52 <Cepheid> I'm just wiklijg to accept donations, because I know people. Much as I have a neutral-negative view of people, reality is, there are people who would want to support me.
17:52 <LibrarianofHope> its a give take thing mostly
17:53 <Cepheid> Be that in offers of assistance with the project in areas I am weak in, or, financially because they have no other way to help or support me.
17:53 <LibrarianofHope> you would need tempting rewards
17:54 <Cepheid> But I am unwilling to accept donations out of the goodness of one's heart. I want to give something in return. Credits would list their names, and an insert into the game seems fair.
17:54 <LibrarianofHope> maybe the ddlc route, make it free on steam
17:54 <Cepheid> For smaller donations anyways.
17:54 <Cepheid> Larger ones... I'd have to think about it.
17:54 <LibrarianofHope> whats tge game about anyway?
17:55 <Cepheid> Excessive donations would probably involve direct interaction with the character. That is, they become a part of the story or a side-story.
17:55 <Cepheid> Baseline, I'm going for a La-Mulana style game. Metroidvania eith excessively difficult puzzles and traps. Ones that make you think.
17:55 <LibrarianofHope> if you want i could be a consultant on the marketing bit
17:56 <Cepheid> Story-wise, I'm still working on that.
17:56 <LibrarianofHope> also story
17:56 <Cepheid> You do realize I would have little to nothing to pay you with, right?
17:56 <LibrarianofHope> define little
17:57 <LibrarianofHope> i could use it as portfolio at any rate
17:58 <Cepheid> Assuming donations are a thing, or I use kickstarter, I am not expecting much in the way of financials. Again, I am not selling the game.
17:59 <LibrarianofHope> you still need a compelling tale
17:59 <Cepheid> That is why I am hesitant to invite others onto the project team. I want to know what you expect, what your motivations are, and so on.
17:59 <Cepheid> Schism and ADragonDreaming I assume are doing it because they are some of my best friends.
18:00 <Cepheid> And they want to help me succeed.
18:00 <LibrarianofHope> i want to practice my marketing skills, and im a genius at story creation
18:00 <LibrarianofHope> i also do it to help
18:00 <Cepheid> I have not read your stories, so I cannot confirm the latter. Also, as some advice?
18:01 <LibrarianofHope> wut
18:01 <Cepheid> Don't oversell yourself. Employers don't like that. :P
18:01 <LibrarianofHope> but i am great at that
18:01 <Cepheid> Declaring yourself a genius at writing is a dangerous move.
18:01 <LibrarianofHope> not writing, story design
18:01 <Cepheid> Still.
18:02 <Cepheid> The use of such an extravagant term is risky. You better have a lot of examples to back it up. :P
18:02 <Cepheid> As an employer, I would be expecting to see stuff like #1 booksellers on various lists.
18:03 <LibrarianofHope> i could try helping probono for the work to present
18:03 <Cepheid> Don't mean to knock you down. I'm sure you are good, I'm just advising you be careful with such phrasing.
18:03 <LibrarianofHope> yep,
18:03 <Cepheid> Anyways, lecture time.

20:14 <Pony|8567> pretty well, i'm currently in my spanish speakers class
20:15 <Cepheid> You should probably pay attention. Language classes require a bit more focus and attention than lectures. Practice as well.
20:16 <Pony|8567> nah
20:16 <Cepheid> This is based on my observation of my Japanese language classes.
20:16 <Pony|8567> parents born in mexico and i've been in mexico for 5 years
20:16 <Pony|8567> so yeah, spanish is easy
20:16 <Pony|8567> for me at least
20:17 <Cepheid> Fair enough.

20:27 <LibrarianofHope> mexican guy? missed them
20:41 * DashedRainbows licks Ali
20:50 * Cepheid arrives home.
20:51 <Cepheid> Japanese is relatively... moderately difficult.
20:51 <Cepheid> The difficulty jumps due to Kanji.
20:51 <Cepheid> But that's memorization more than anything else.
20:52 *** Joins: Reia_Hope (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony)
20:52 <Cepheid> Same goes for vocabulary.
20:53 <Cepheid> The moderate difficulty comes from language tidbits.
20:53 <Cepheid> Like for example, the usual approach for numbers is to prefix number, followed by unit. With exception to 11-19, which is similar to English in that all the words don't follow the standard pattern.
20:54 <Cepheid> But there's further oddities than English.
20:54 <Cepheid> For hundreds, it's number + hyaku. Thus, ichihyaku - 100, nihyaku - 200. Then you hit 300.
20:55 <Cepheid> sanbyaku.
20:55 <Cepheid> Then 400 to 500 it's back to normal. 600 is roppyaku.
20:55 <Cepheid> 800 is happyaku
20:59 <Cepheid> Same goes for 3000, 8000, sanzen, hassen instead of sansen, or hachisen. Hey LibrarianofHope, does Spanish have anything unusual like this, where some words don't follow a given, or expected pattern?
21:01 <Cepheid> I'm 100% certain that English has it.

21:24 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:24 <Cepheid> I like how they even got graphics rendering working on Linux for the Switch.
21:24 <Cepheid> Turns out, when you base your hardware on an existing platform which has a complete Linux stack, getting all the hardware to work is easy.
21:28 <Cepheid> It's a Tegra X1, which has a complete Linux stack with proprietary nVidia drivers, at the most basic level. So if you can break into the danged thing, and load nVidia's Linux package onto it, you'd have a working Linux OS for Switch, graphics drivers, wifi and all.
21:28 <Cepheid> The only things that'd need work are the controller support and maybe the gyroscope stuff.
21:29 <Cepheid> And developers figured *THAT* out before cracking the Switch itself.
21:30 <Cepheid> Alas, doing so voids the warranty.
21:34 <Cepheid> That said, given the price of a Switch, compared to a typical tablet, it's possibly worth it.
21:34 <Cepheid> Plus, support is pretty much out-of-the-box, unlike most tablets.
21:44 <Cepheid> Why in the hell is my headache spreading to my right eye now!?
