00:00 <Cepheid> ADra would actually be an Imperial, since the Imperial involves blades that "charge" so to speak, to deal incredible damage. This mimics how he fights in MHWorld, using either a Switchaxe, or a Charge Blade, both of which have charging mechanics that unload incredible amounts of damage in single attacks.
00:01 <Cepheid> Schism would be, hmm... He played Monk a lot in FF14. But then he pretty much leveled all the other classes too, alongside the crafting. Especially the crafting.
00:01 <Cepheid> Considering that, either Pugilist or Farmer.

00:06 <LibrarianofHope> me too
00:06 <Cepheid> Let's see, with those configurations, that'd leave...
00:06 <LibrarianofHope> i always wanted to d and d
00:07 <LibrarianofHope> never had the chance
00:07 <Cepheid> SunsetShimmer would be our primary healer, literally shooting people back to health. The rest would be all items.
00:07 <Cepheid> Schism could revive dead characters as a Farmer, and a Farmer can make better use of items.
00:07 <Cepheid> So...
00:08 <Cepheid> The only character I'm hesitant about is ADra. Two Imperials could make their devastating attacks that much more reliable, as I could alternate. But.. Yeah.
00:08 <Cepheid> On the other hand, the entire setup as defined screams "Finish things quick and fast."
00:09 <Cepheid> Drawn-out battles aren't viable. Two Imperials could quickly make mincemeat of bosses and enemies.
00:09 <BrolightSparkle> We got a lot more druids then I'm used to seeing
00:09 <Cepheid> Heh,
00:09 <LibrarianofHope> could be fun in a forest
00:10 <LibrarianofHope> my best info came from the adventure zone
00:10 <Cepheid> The game I'm playing is part of the Etrian Odyssey series. The guild name I've used from the start was always "Misfits" because oftentimes, the group would become this horrible amalgamation of classes that have no real synergy, and yet somehow manage to make it work out.
00:10 <Cepheid> The best example of this was EO4, in which I had no real dedicated healer.
00:11 <Cepheid> The team got by through excessive abuse of half-hearted healing skills.
00:11 <BrolightSparkle> I based one of characters on Blithe from Littlest Pet Shop
00:11 <Cepheid> I think I'll try this team.
00:11 <LibrarianofHope> not really familiar with blithe
00:12 <LibrarianofHope> you playing in a serious note or a more comedy style?
00:12 <Cepheid> Me? Or Brolight?
00:12 <LibrarianofHope> brolight
00:12 <BrolightSparkle> She works at the pet store she can talk to animals and yes serious
00:12 <LibrarianofHope> its a modern setting?
00:13 <Cepheid> I'm making Schism a farmer, but I'm not using the portraits. No way, no how. I refuse to have Schism look like he belongs on a field, prodding ground. Or flattening pancakes or something.

00:18 <Cepheid> Hey ADragonDreaming, I started my squad over in EON. I made you an Imperial. You use special "Drive Blades" that can be charged up and prepared for use of unleashing a single, critically painful blast of damage. I based this on your MHWorld playstyle. :P
00:19 <ADragonDreaming> mowr?
00:19 <ADragonDreaming> hahaha, nice
00:19 <Cepheid> I wanted to go with a more "Misfits" appropriate group.
00:19 <ADragonDreaming> I should build a gunlance at some potin.
00:19 <Cepheid> We have two Imperials on the front line, you and me. We have a farmer helping with item usage. Sunset's a gunner who shoots people to heal them. Librarian's just walking chaos.

00:20 <Cepheid> We as a result, have no real dedicated healer. Again. Also, we're on the front lines with just our armor to protect us. No protector.
00:20 <ADragonDreaming> the best offense is a good offense.
00:21 <ADragonDreaming> also possibly a racist joke.
00:21 <Cepheid> Heh.
00:21 *** Joins: BrolightSparkle (BrolightSpa@Pony-md2n00.tmodns.net)
00:21 <Cepheid> Honestly, the Imperial is probably offense given form.
00:21 <Cepheid> With the right setup, they can deal thousands of damage.
00:21 <Cepheid> No other class can come close.
00:23 <Cepheid> Basically, this team is built around the idea of "No drawn out fights. We kill them all here and now."

00:26 <ADragonDreaming> Aye, should be soonish
00:26 <ADragonDreaming> Finalizing some things on the roll20 game
00:26 <Cepheid> Take yer time. I'm just saying is all.
00:26 <BrolightSparkle> It almost sounds like Star Wars
00:26 <BrolightSparkle> It's a trap lol
00:29 <LibrarianofHope> the cake is a lie
00:30 <LibrarianofHope> make my character redhead
00:30 <Cepheid> This... might work.
00:30 <LibrarianofHope> i have a fitting character
00:30 *** Quits: BrolightSparkle (BrolightSpa@Pony-md2n00.tmodns.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
00:30 <Cepheid> First battle, frontliners took minimal damage. And Sunset's heal-shooting is sufficient.
00:31 *** Joins: BrolightSparkle (BrolightSpa@Pony-md2n00.tmodns.net)
00:31 <LibrarianofHope> how does heal shotting even work?
00:31 <Cepheid> There's only one way I can think it'd work.
00:32 <ADragonDreaming> Magic.
00:32 <Cepheid> Basically, a needle-tipped bullet. The bullet itself contains whatever components make healing items work. Basically, the bullet impacts, and the force from the impact injects a compound into the body.
00:32 <ADragonDreaming> Or nanites.
00:33 <Cepheid> Given the technological level demonstrated, that sounds probable.
00:34 <Cepheid> This entire area of the world the game takes place on was apparently surrounded by an impossibly strong and turbulent storm. Apparently this is breached by utilizing what appears to be a spaceship-like airship.
00:34 <LibrarianofHope> i like the idea of throwing healing potions at allies
00:34 <Cepheid> The engines certainly aren't propellers, like you see on such airships in other games, or indeed, even in EO4.
00:35 <Cepheid> They're these massive thrust-producing engines. This is combined with whatever's holding it up, since it's a massive ship that has an entire CITY on it.
00:36 <Cepheid> Gonna have to be careful with this stratum.
00:37 <Cepheid> The devs increased their cruel streak. I don't see the usual indicators of hidden passages anymore. Or at least, haven't found any yet to compare. On top of that, the way they themed the area, side passages blend into the walls almost seamlessly.
00:37 <Cepheid> I've walked past several side passages without realizing it.

00:38 *** Quits: BrolightSparkle (BrolightSpa@Pony-md2n00.tmodns.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
00:39 <Cepheid> ...
00:39 <Cepheid> Atlus, that is CRUEL.
00:40 <Cepheid> Normally, walking into trapped areas, the game gives you a chance to react or, you know, not inspect anything at all. Not this game.
00:40 <Cepheid> I walked to the end of a passage. Three characters get splashed with foul-smelling water(?), which causes massive damage. And the game suggests I either remove all their gear and leave, or move on without removing all their gear. With no indication of what'll happen.
00:41 <Cepheid> Moving with it equipped causes damage to accrue.
00:43 <Cepheid> We're screwed.
00:44 <ADragonDreaming> reload!
00:44 <Cepheid> Effectively, yeah.
00:44 <Cepheid> Apparently, removing the gear, as expected, is dangerous. You get attacked by 3 monsters.
00:44 <Cepheid> I'm hesitant to touch it again, but I get the impression the right choice might just be to endure it.
00:48 <Cepheid> It dies down after two steps and goes away. You're supposed to endure it, insane as it might be.

04:13 * ADragonDreaming growls at game
04:14 <Cepheid> Your video's an Radeon HD 6500-something, right?
04:14 <ADragonDreaming> 6900 series
04:14 <Cepheid> 'Kay.
04:16 <Cepheid> Guh, all I can find are posts about crash-on-start, etc.
04:16 <ADragonDreaming> whether it's the 6930, 695, 6970, or 6990, I don't know for certain...
04:17 <Cepheid> I think it may just be the age of the card, to be honest.
04:17 <ADragonDreaming> parbably
04:18 <Cepheid> Especially since the minimum is a GTX 760 or a Radeon R7 260x.
04:20 <Cepheid> Geeze, even finding cards that old is tricky, it seems.
04:21 <ADragonDreaming> It was hand-me-down.
04:21 <Cepheid> Right.
04:24 <Cepheid> That said, if you can't wait until Summer(Or the off-chance I fail to get a job for it), a reasonable choice without busting the bank that's comparable is..
04:24 <Cepheid> Radeon RX 560, on the AMD side. Aaaaand...
04:26 <Cepheid> GTX 1060.
04:26 <Cepheid> Depends mainly on maker, though.
04:27 <Cepheid> GTX 1050 averages ~$50 cheaper, and is still comparable to the GTX 760.
04:28 <Cepheid> You might get lucky and find a lower-numbered card for around $100, though.
04:28 <ADragonDreaming> mayhap!
04:28 <Cepheid> So long as it's at least a *60 on the GTX side, and *60 on the AMD side.
04:28 <Cepheid> Preferably above 700 on the nVidia side and 500 on the AMD side.
04:30 <Cepheid> https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137260 Case in point.
04:33 <Cepheid> Alas, for me, upgrades, even small, incremental ones, are not that cheap.
04:33 <Cepheid> To even get a comparable, incremental upgrade, I'd have to spend close to $400-$500.

04:44 <Cepheid> Well, the squad is getting stronger. Survived 3 battles in a row, now.
04:44 <ADragonDreaming> it was a competition to get home first, and eat all the pizza.
04:46 <Cepheid> ... Cepheid and Tiamat have a nice last-ditch break ability.
04:46 <Cepheid> They can break their boost gauges to restore their TP to max, and extend it a bit.
04:47 <Cepheid> ... Make that roughly 2.1x their maximum.
04:47 <Cepheid> Or therabouts.
04:48 <ADragonDreaming> nice
04:54 <Cepheid> Hum. So shortcuts are denoted by a weird red/white/blue plant hanging down..
04:58 <Cepheid> Really. A Muscle Fly as the introduction to rare spawns.
04:58 <Cepheid> You couldn't pick something a tad more harmless?
04:58 <Cepheid> No, gotta make it the monster that can one-shot anyone in the party if they got a Rare boost.
05:02 <ADragonDreaming> yes
05:03 * Ali snuffles on ce
05:03 * Ali tabfails
05:04 <Cepheid> Rare spawns are... Interesting. High chance of them running. Every turn they get boosted further and further. Every turn, they always go first, no matter what. Basically the benefit of them is quintupling the EXP from the battle.
05:06 <Schism> Ah, the metal slime.
05:07 <Schism> And, I see, then you get Rare Breed FOEs.
05:08 <Cepheid> Yes.
05:08 <Cepheid> Those are possible.
05:09 <Cepheid> Not worth the trouble. Too much health to take down. By the time they died, every attack they used would be a guaranteed OHKO.
05:09 <Schism> Heh. The Moth Lord's glow intensifies!
05:10 <Cepheid> Unless a OHKO attack worked on them with a high rate of success. Or you had some way to dish out 9999 damage in a few attacks.
05:10 <Cepheid> Atlus learned from EO5. No skill like what was there exists here.
05:11 * Cyan_Spark varies
05:12 <Cepheid> Closest class would be the Imperial. Properly set up and with strong gear, they can deal thousands of damage. Assuming they haven't been nerfed.
05:12 <Cepheid> But even then, it takes 3 to 4 turns to set them up.
05:14 <Cepheid> It was also endgame damage. Superbosses.
05:18 <Cepheid> It's actually interesting how the series does them. Most games tack on the superbosses as extras. The EO series writes them as part of the story. The first credits roll just means you've solved the core mystery surrounding a legend of story involving the labyrinth.
05:18 <Cepheid> Meanwhile everything beyond that explains the reasoning behind the Labyrinth itself. With exception to the first game. That one is explained just before the credits roll.
05:19 <Cepheid> Though it conflicts with the lore of Nexus, technically.
05:19 <Cepheid> .... Same with 4, now that I think about it.
05:24 <Cepheid> Five is an oddball. Outside of the number of trees mentioned in Nexus, it appears to have no connection to the world that Nexus takes place in. So far.
05:25 <Cepheid> Of the places mentioned in Nexus, there's Etria, Armoroad, High Lagaard, and Tharsis.

05:27 <Cepheid> So EO1, EO3, EO2, and EO4 respectively. There is no indication that the town in Nexus represents EO5. The remaining two trees after that are the Mystery Dungeon games.
05:29 <Ali> Still no update on .17 Cepheid?
05:30 <Cepheid> Nothing yet. But it appears to be bringing performance enhancements. Some bugs were bogging it down.
05:30 <Ali> I've been seeing the friday updates but haven't checked today's
05:31 <Ali> I know they reworked the train GUI
05:32 <Cepheid> Today's is incredibly technical.

15:22 <Cepheid> Morning.
15:34 <ADragonHoarding> Yo.
15:42 <Cepheid> How goes it?
15:48 <Schism> Adra: Hee, poor Jee-Han.
15:52 * Cepheid researches AVX.
15:52 *** Joins: Fall (Fall@Pony-535.9lm.228.37.IP)
15:55 * Schism also gahs, yawning.
15:56 <Cepheid> Too bad AVX is mostly useless in everyday software. Software definitely benefits, but you need a recent CPU for it.
15:57 <Cepheid> Okay not that recent. 2011. I'm thinking AVX2.
16:04 <Cepheid> As for what it is: Take a number of elements, say, 8 32-bit integers. You want to perform the same operations on them all, perhaps with different operands for each respective integer. You shove 8 integers into a 256-bit register, then another 8 integers into another register. You then use one instruction to perform the math operation on all 8 pairs of integers.
16:05 <Cepheid> Why is this a good thing? It is faster than loading each individual pair of integers into two 32-bit registers and performing the operation.
16:07 <Cepheid> At best, 3 instructions for the AVX case. At best, 3 * 8 instructions for the non-AVX case. 3 instructions are better than 24.
16:10 <Cepheid> Which means, at best, 3 cycles for an AVX case, and 24 cycles for a non-AVX case. Very rarely are mathematical operations single-cycle though. I think Addition and Subtraction are single-cycle. But multiply, divide, and a few others are not. Especially when floating-point gets involved.
16:27 <Cepheid> People need to stop relying on Google Translate for confirming their work.
16:28 <RazorSharpFang> GTranslate will oft fail with phrases I know to be correct.
16:28 <Cepheid> There's a reason for it, and that reason is simply "Because people are involved in training it."
16:28 <Cepheid> It probably has an understanding of basic rules for the language. That is, sentence structure, particles and the like.
16:29 <Cepheid> But everything else, such as words and phrases, are taught to it by the general public. It uses a database that can be "corrected" in the event that a given word came out mistranslated, according to the user.
16:29 <Cepheid> This allows for a lot of trolling.
16:30 <Cepheid> The other half of the problem is that it cannot pick up context.
16:30 <Cepheid> Context is defined by the senses or prior conversation.

16:31 <Cepheid> It'll only "work well" on very explicit, and strictly formed sentence. That is, an overly formal, perfectly grammatical, structured sentence.
16:32 <Cepheid> Instead of going 「元気です。」, you'd have to go 「私は元気です。」 for example.
16:35 <Cepheid> Admittedly, this isn't always the case, but it at least guarantees the exact message intended is expressed.
16:35 <Cepheid> Problem is, it's very stiff sounding.
16:41 <Cepheid> I'll need to spend periods today studying Japanese, both writing and speaking.
16:41 <Cepheid> I got an oral assignment on Tuesday.
16:41 <Cepheid> Basically, I have to go up in front of the class and, given a topic, construct and recite various sentences.
16:43 <Cepheid> The topic in question will be something covered already. So either shopping, ordering food, inquiring about someone else(Age, nationality, if they're a student, major if they're a student, what their occupation is if not a student, etc..), or expressing said information about one's self.
16:44 <Cepheid> That said, you're free to assist me with this if desired, RazorSharpFang. It'd be nice to have someone to write/speak to for practice instead of a mirror.
16:45 <Cepheid> Just remember that I only just began kanji as of Thursday, so try to avoid them.
16:45 <Cepheid> You can use... mmm... There's 15 kanji we started with.
16:47 <Cepheid> Number kanji from 1 to 10. The kanji for 100, 1,000, and 10,000. The kanji for yen/circle, 円, and the kanji for time, 時.
16:51 <Cepheid> I also know the kanji for cold, and comfort/ease/music.
16:58 <RazorSharpFang> Tbh I can't remember the Kanji at all - I just recognise them when I see them. :3
16:59 <RazorSharpFang> And for IME inputs, I can see the suggestions and say "Yeah, that's the one"
16:59 <Cepheid> Heh.
17:00 <Cepheid> I just wish I knew how to disable GTK+'s IME window.
17:00 <RazorSharpFang> i.e.: きょう ーー＞ 今日
17:00 <Cepheid> Yeah.
17:00 <Cepheid> Oh, right, I also know those.
17:01 <Cepheid> There's a few kanji I have embedded in neurons, just not used frequently.

17:39 <Cepheid> Many violations of accessibility. On top of that, there are errors in the markup.

17:48 <Cepheid> ... Nintendo didn't even bother fixing any of the boot rom problems between the old 3DS and new 3DS.
17:48 <Cepheid> There were a number of bugs in it, and they just used the same ROM.
17:48 <Stormspark> ah
17:48 <Stormspark> so if you hit the power button and then click power off, it will be cleared?
17:50 <Cepheid> Yeah.
17:50 <Cepheid> Though there's no reason to be concerned about it, really.
17:50 <Stormspark> ah ok, that's what I do when I'm done with the system anyway
17:50 <Stormspark> I didn't know there was any other way to turn it off
17:51 <Stormspark> other than sleep mode

18:18 <Cepheid> Hum. OpenGL 4.5. Impressive. Could run a lot of OpenGL games on the Switch if one desired.
18:21 <Cepheid> Request for folks around here, please list the current GPU(Graphics card) you use. Brand(AMD or nVidia), maker(ASUS, Gigabyte, etc), model(GTX 970, Radeon HD 6950, etc) and memory capacity, please.
18:22 <Cepheid> You can obtain this information through software that comes with the respective video card drivers, usually. nVidia, the NVIDIA Control Panel. You'll find the information under System Information. For AMD, I'm not sure. The software used to be called the Catalyst Control Center.
18:26 <Cepheid> GPUInfo reports that at minimum, OpenGL 3.0 is supported by 97% of the reported hardware.. That's... actually a good thing.

20:46 <ADragonDreaming> so let's install that
20:47 <Cepheid> My Windows update actually reverted back to WDDM drivers created back in 2017, after all.
20:47 <ADragonDreaming> well all my attempts to update the driver prior to this have failed to update the driver version as listed in device manager.
20:48 <Cepheid> That usually means you should actually uninstall the drivers you're using right now, reboot, then install the updated drivers.
20:49 <Cepheid> In fact, that's usually the preferred approach to updating drivers.
20:49 <ADragonDreaming> okay, if this attempt fails, I will try that
20:49 <Cepheid> Because the end-result may be having stale drivers loaded in memory, that aren't properly replaced either because the driver installer is not well-programmed, or because the OS can't handle that situation for whatever reason.
20:49 <Cepheid> Usually to resolve it, the system has to be restarted.

21:30 <Cepheid> The absolute latest bleeding-edge would be the Crimson Edition 16.2.1 beta drivers. Released in 2016. That's the best your card can do. They appears as 15.300+
21:30 <Cepheid> Outside of trying those, there's only one thing I can think of.
21:31 <ADragonDreaming> ah
21:31 <Cepheid> Well, two things.
21:32 <Cepheid> Disconnect the secondary monitor. That can potentially cause problems. Otherwise, run the game in Windowed/Borderless Fullscreen instead of (Exclusive) Fullscreen.
21:32 <Cepheid> Or a combination of both.
21:34 <ADragonDreaming> okay I'll try borderless
21:34 <ADragonDreaming> disconnecting the secondary would be a hassle.
21:35 <Cepheid> You could probably just turn it off and it'd be fine.
21:35 <Cepheid> Anyways, I'm gonna shower. Back in a bit.

21:59 <Cepheid> Back.
21:59 <Cepheid> Also, pretty sure I'm committing a crime in OpenGL now.

22:03 <OctaveSymphony> Well, my two 2TB harddrives both have scorch marks and holes in chips on their pcb's
22:05 * ADragonDreaming throws up hands
22:05 <ADragonDreaming> I'm going to go play anno 2205 instead.

22:07 <ADragonDreaming> No.
22:08 <Finwe> Good evening, everypony.
22:12 * Finwe Trilby hats on SunsetShimmer.
22:14 <Cepheid> Until such a time as it is figured out as to what is going on ADragonDreaming, I'll hold off on progression.
22:14 <Cepheid> I'm assuming you've done a verify file integrity check.
22:15 <ADragonDreaming> I will do that when I'm not playing a different game, because it won't let me while a game is in progress
22:16 <Cepheid> Right.
22:16 <Cepheid> Just saying.
22:18 <Cepheid> Hmm.
22:19 <Cepheid> Integer texture support was merged into OpenGL back in... 2008?
22:19 <Cepheid> No, later than that. Hmm.
22:21 *** Joins: unico (uni@Pony-3gb0ib.vak2.eqmb.e800.2404.IP)
22:21 <Cepheid> Looks like the earliest version of OpenGL to support what I need is 2.0, which basically means a good amount of hardware likely supports what I need. o3o
22:24 *** Quits: uni (uni@Pony-mgulm4.vak2.eqmb.e800.2404.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
22:31 <Cepheid> Huzzah for unexplained crashes!
22:33 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, lost a bit of documentation there..
22:47 <Cepheid> =.=; OpenGL wiki, you are slightly confusing.
22:47 <ADragonDreaming> only slightly?
22:47 <Cepheid> It's not completely clear on data types accepted by certain GLSL functions.
22:47 <Cepheid> I'm getting complaints about my usage of texelFetch and I don't know why, as it's set up in the proper form.
22:48 <Cepheid> Oh. Because it expects 3 parameters, not 2.
22:52 <Cepheid> I need a break from this.
22:52 <Cepheid> Time to dive into a deadly dungeon for a bit.
22:53 <Cepheid> I really wish the game would hurry up and fork over ariadne threads already.
22:54 <OctaveSymphony> GPU is also burnt
22:54 <Cepheid> Oof.
22:56 <Cepheid> ADra. What kind of direction should I send Tiamat in? There's two basic paths. One who revels in an overheated state(Meaning that your first attack is more or less going to be something that puts you in overheat), which leads into elemental skills that put you massively into overheat... Ooooorrr...
22:56 <Cepheid> Someone who can cool their drive blade rapidly to ensure repeated special attacks.
22:57 <Cepheid> It's worth noting the elemental path ends in a special attack that is untyped, that nothing can resist.
22:58 <Cepheid> The skill is called Accel Drive. It's untyped nature basically makes it absolutely devastating against things resistant to all damage types, which we *WILL* encounter.
22:59 <ADragonDreaming> hmmmm...
22:59 <ADragonDreaming> there's two Imperials, right?
23:00 <Cepheid> Yeah. I'm going down the cooling path.
23:00 <Cepheid> So basically I'll overheat, then vent the heat, and overheat again.
23:00 <ADragonDreaming> Then send me down the other path
23:00 <Cepheid> I would honestly like someone with an untyped attack later on.
23:00 <Cepheid> Very well.
23:00 <Cepheid> Untyped damage is... It's amazing against physically resistant enemies.
23:00 <Cepheid> And elementally resistant enemies. And enemies resistant to all forms of damage.
23:01 <Cepheid> Hmm. Judging from the labeling given on the map, this game uses separated labyrinths.
23:02 <Cepheid> This area, the Eastern Shrine, is labeled as "Labyrinth 1"
23:03 <Cepheid> Okay, that's an interesting skill.
23:03 <Cepheid> Defend always goes first if you use it, as far as I've seen in every other game. Might be a few exceptions.
23:03 <Cepheid> Sunset has a skill that restores a small amount of HP on the front row every time she defends.
23:04 *** Joins: Lumindia (Lumindia@is.a.miner.pony)
23:05 <Cepheid> It's not a lot, but right now, it's half the damage of poison.
23:05 <ADragonDreaming> excellent
23:06 <Cepheid> Mysterious mushroom. Do we eat it or no? I'm betting it drives us insane.
23:06 * Cepheid makes executive decision and makes others eat it.
23:07 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)
23:07 <Cepheid> I'll take that. Full HP/TP.
23:07 <ADragonDreaming> huzzah
23:07 <PinkieShy> I'm so cold.. I brewed me a second cup of coffee..
23:08 <PinkieShy> Hmm.. where's my memory foam slippers..
23:15 <PinkieShy> Got them.. They are now warming my feet :D
23:27 <Cepheid> Oh. Sunset's healin' bullet also removes an ailment. Nice.
23:27 <Cepheid> Heal and remove poison. o3o

23:38 <Cepheid> Geezus. 2,863 HP. I'm not sure I can burn that quickly.
23:39 *** Quits: OctaveSymphony (OctaveSymph@Octave.fluffy.pegasi.mare) (Connection closed)
23:41 <Cepheid> Amazingly though, it can barely hurt the team. It's biggest problem is that it likes to use binds. The team is geared such that the damage is low. The front-liners don't even need to be healed using Heal Shot.
23:49 <Cepheid> It was a nice effort, monster. But you just couldn't outdamage us.

23:51 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:53 <Cepheid> Huzzah, Ariadne Thread at laaaast!
23:53 <Cepheid> Those are such critical items. Without them, the early game is hard. Probably too hard, for those wanting to get into the series.
