00:00 <Cepheid> Aaaand that's a remix of Etrian Odyssey 4's first battle theme.

01:16 <Cepheid> ... o3o

01:16 * Cepheid punches through the brick wall in front of him, managing to reach his goal finally.

01:22 <Cepheid> I managed to code animated tiles in my game.

01:22 <Cepheid> Using a really, really roundabout and terrifying method.

01:23 <Cepheid> Anyways, back to EON... Also..

01:23 <Cepheid> This floor.  *Checks maps of EO4 for something*

01:23 <Cepheid> ... What.

01:24 <Cepheid> https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/3ds/997793-etrian-odyssey-iv-legends-of-the-titan/faqs/66601 ADragonDreaming, Schism.  This is a map of the first floor of the Lush Woodlands from Etrian Odyssey 4.

01:24 <Cepheid> This is *EXACTLY* what I am looking at in EON, right now.

01:31 <Cepheid> Apparently the tavern owner is a streaker.  And is banned from several countries for it.

01:32 <Stormspark> my dad used to hang out with streakers when he was a teenager

01:32 <Stormspark> he claims he never did it himself, but instead drove the drop off or getaway car :P

01:33 <Stormspark> I guess people were bored back in those days

01:33 <Stormspark> no video games or internet

01:33 <Cepheid> Indeed.

01:33 <Stormspark> nothing better to do than run naked through the mall

01:57 <Cepheid> Vote required, do I fight this fawn FOE?

01:57 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.

01:57 <Schism|Adagio> Ah, I take it that's the first FOE?

01:57 <Schism|Adagio> Well, the first /real/ FOE.

01:57 <ADragonDreaming> I will always vote yes.

01:57 <Cepheid> No, first FOE is a murderous bear.

01:57 <Cepheid> They appear as red on the map, so above me by a longshot.

01:58 <Cepheid> These fawns are in a separate, mini-dungeon.  Yellow difficulty, so about on par.

01:58 *** Joins: [AFK] (Bat@Squeaky.Cuddly.Batpony)

01:59 <Cepheid> ...

01:59 <Cepheid> I got a bad feeling about this.  This isn't anywhere near typical FOE strength.

02:00 <Cepheid> ... o.O;

02:00 <Cepheid> I killed it.

02:01 <Cepheid> And there's the catch.

02:01 <Cepheid> It wasn't apparent here as an introductory thing I presume, but it's a fawn.  Obviously, a baby/child.  Where there's a baby or child, there's often a parent watching out.

02:01 <Schism> Aha.

02:01 <Schism> Ragedeer.

02:02 <Schism|Adagio> And raging for a good reason, just for once.

02:02 * Schism|Adagio switches between boxen, crafting up a storm.

02:05 <Cepheid> Napier has a strangely malicious sounding voice.

02:07 <Cepheid> Eventually, Tiamat will acquire enough TP to make repeated use of Assault Drive..

02:07 <Cepheid> For a first-tier skill, it consumes a massive quantity of TP.  20 per use.

02:29 <Cepheid> Oh.  Huh.  Farmers can equip a lot more weapons than I thought.

02:29 <Cepheid> They got access to Guns.  Guess I can make Schism useful for some basic ranged damage.

02:29 <Cepheid> Right now, he is completely devoid of any real means of attack.  His sole purpose is to use items on others and just hide behind a wall of steel.

02:31 <Cepheid> Not even sure he'll ever pick up any attack skills.  Let's see..

02:32 *** Quits: unicodingunicorn (uni@Pony-gjj75e.vak2.eqmb.e800.2404.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

02:32 <Cepheid> Actually, he will, if I want this one skill.

02:33 <Cepheid> Fruitful Song.  Entire party's TP recovers for every N steps while exploring the labyrinth.  N being  dependent on the level of the skill.

02:34 <Cepheid> In sequence:  12, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 3, for each level.

02:37 * Cepheid uses up 6 points on Schism to get Keen Eye maxed out. Allows him to spot hidden items of interest nearby for 255 steps now.

02:38 <ADragonDreaming> huzzah!

02:40 * Schism huzzahs. o5o

02:40 <Cepheid> Whatever helps me navigate.  Also helps find shortcuts, since I'm not the most observant.

02:40 <Cepheid> It tracks FOEs, harvest points, chests, events, and shortcuts/secret passages.

02:41 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the next level down for the skill only lasts 60 steps, so yeah.

03:02 * Sleeping_Nightmares snugglies into Schism. Is cold and sick floof

03:02 * Schism eees, and provides Sleeping_Nightmares with wuv and rilly warm pea soup.

03:04 *** Sleeping_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

03:04 * Filly_Nightmares is tired floofy

03:04 * Filly_Nightmares licks soup

03:09 <Cepheid> How goes the conquering of the islands, ADragonDreaming?

03:19 <Cepheid> That the first floor of the Lush Woodlands was identical to the same place of EO4 was just a gimmick.  Something to invoke nostalgia.

03:19 <Cepheid> Second floor is nowhere near the same.  That said, I wonder if the dungeon is the same length.

03:35 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: next story quest is to build a Corporate HQ

03:41 <Cepheid> Ah.

03:42 <Cepheid> Hum, getting tired.  Should go flop onto the bed.  But...  I want to try a proper FOE first.

03:45 <Cepheid> Viable.  Need to make sure everyone's equipment is up to date, though.

04:03 <Cepheid> So, mysteries of the game thus far...  Why are dungeons from other games appearing?  What's up with the mysterious hand panel in the Eastern Shrine?  Why do the Geo Poles no longer return me to town?  They send me off to a new island within the storm-encircled region.

04:04 <Cepheid> Also, mysterious voice at the end of the Eastern Shrine. o3o

07:26 <PsychicKid> at what point did i lose control of my life

07:27 <ConfusionRift> Around the point you realized you lost control. :P

07:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> It all started whe Twili got her wings, went downhill from there :3

07:28 * Schism|Adagio noms some chocolate pudding.

07:28 <Fall> MLP jumped the shark when they released the Mare in the Moon

07:29 <Starlight_Glimmer> Excuse me sir. Freeing Luna was the best thing the show ever did.

07:29 <Fall> Up to then it was great

07:30 <Fall> After that, it was suddenly all about Twilight Sparkle

07:31 <RazorSharpFang> Good afternoons

07:36 * Ali baps fall for dissing the almighty Sparkle

07:36 <Starlight_Glimmer> Purple is so out of fashion

07:36 * Fall decries Twilight with fervour!

07:37 * Ali nuu's and snuggles her Twilight plushie

07:37 <Fall> My sister had a baby girl two weeks ago. I donated all my remaining pony stuff.

07:38 <Schism|Adagio> She's not purple.  She's /Lavender./

07:39 <Fall> Stop causing fandom schisms, Schism

07:39 <Schism|Adagio> Now Rarity's mane, /that's/ purple.

07:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> Fall: Seriously? You monster

07:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> Them plushies shall not be abused by children

07:44 <Fall> Is there any particular reason why Rift keeps changing shape

07:44 <ConfusionRift> You must be confused, bud. :P

07:45 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony!

07:45 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Messrs Fall, Schism|Adagio and Starlight_Glimmer.

07:45 <Finwe> o7

07:46 * ConfusionRift now imagines a shapeshifter who just changes for the most mundane of tasks.

07:46 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

07:47 * Finwe noms on Fall's plushies.

07:48 <Fall> Last chance before they're saturated with baby spit

07:48 <Finwe> Oh, Miss Ali.

07:48 * Finwe doffs his hat.

07:49 <Finwe> Your presence escaped my attention. o3o

07:49 * Ali is used to second rung status

07:49 <Fall> She's in hiding. I have no idea why

07:49 * Fall accidently embeds a crossbow bolt in a nearby bacon pile

07:49 * Finwe patpats Ali.

07:52 <Finwe> You are so small (and cute).

07:53 <Starlight_Glimmer> Spit isn't the worst part

07:53 <Starlight_Glimmer> Babies puke and stuff

07:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> And they tear things apart

07:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> You must really hate them equines

07:54 <Finwe> Not as much as dogs and cats do.

07:54 <Finwe> Dogs and cats are experts at tearing plushies into pieces.

07:55 <Finwe> s/at/on/

07:55 * Ali ish not cute

07:55 <JonTheVGNerd> Ali is nice tho

07:56 <Finwe> Mr JonTheVGNerd.

07:56 * Finwe doffs his hat.

07:57 <RazorSharpFang> I've forgotten how buggy skyrim really is, for some reason, every NPC in Markarth has decided to be aggressive to me. : /

07:57 <JonTheVGNerd> Mr Finwe

07:57 * JonTheVGNerd doffs his muffin hat.

07:57 <Finwe> Mr RazorSharpFang.

07:57 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's from Bethesda, what did you expect?

07:57 * Finwe doffs his dragonscale helmet.

07:57 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-997onu.dynamic.fusionbroadband.com) (Connection closed)

07:59 <Finwe> Back to your last saved game.

07:59 <Finwe> If the problem persists, it's probably because of something you did.

08:00 <Finwe> And there's the console for navigating past the bugs.

08:00 <RazorSharpFang> Somehow every NPC got their aggression value set to the max. They're not backing off when I sheath my weapon, nor can I surrender to the guards.

08:00 <Ali> RazorSharpFang, 76 is worse

08:00 <Ali> You hit enemies and they regain 40% of their health

08:01 <Finwe> It's called regeneration.

08:01 <Finwe> o3o

08:01 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.

08:01 <Ali> No Finwe, no mob in 76 has a natural regen

08:01 <Starlight_Glimmer> The whole 76 debacle amazed me

08:01 <Ali> Other than legendaries and that's only 1 time

08:02 <Ali> It keeps getting worse

08:02 <Ali> Patch 5 brought back bugs from previous builds

08:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> I've been telling people Bethesda games are a mess since Fallout 3

08:02 <Ali> Like bobby pins weighing in at .1lb each

08:02 <Ali> And their forced survival meters are draining way too fast now

08:03 <Ali> Also rad worms gives 50% buffs to ALL effects

08:03 <Ali> Which are mostly good effects

08:03 <Ali> So having a skill of 2 in lockpick

08:03 <Ali> COUNTS as having a skill of 3

08:03 <Starlight_Glimmer> I refunded Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, because the game kept crashing so often I couldn't even finish the intro

08:03 * Ali slowclaps

08:04 <RazorSharpFang> I want to know how on earth all NPCs getting their aggression maxed out can even happpen.

08:04 <Starlight_Glimmer> Fallout 4 constantly made me restart the game at release because it froze you when entering terminals on 144Hz displays.

08:04 <RazorSharpFang> Knowing bethesda, it's been decremented and wrapped around.

08:04 <Starlight_Glimmer> And then they decide to make an MMO xD

08:04 <Starlight_Glimmer> Oh Bethesda, you're cute.

08:05 *** Quits: PsychicKid (psychickid@Pony-sca5lp.client.mchsi.com) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

08:06 <Ali> 76, where the final boss refuses to land

08:06 <Ali> And spams a scream attack endlessly

08:08 <Finwe> Sounds like the final boss has found a good strategy for surviving the fight.

08:09 <Finwe> If your opponent cannot fly, do not land.

08:09 <Ali> And it abuses that agressively

08:09 <Ali> Both it and its scorchbeast brothers

08:09 <Ali> Hell sometimes the queen will just bugger off

08:10 <Finwe> Whether this represents good game design is a completely different question.

08:10 <Ali> Bethesda?

08:10 <Ali> Good game design?

08:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> Did you just assume a scorchbeast's gender? Shame on you

08:10 <Finwe> Ali: Indeed.

08:11 <Finwe> Those two are seldom mentioned in same sentence.

08:11 <Ali> Starlight_Glimmer, the final boss is CALLED the SCORCHBEAST QUEEN :P

08:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> "and its scorchbeast brothers"

08:11 <Ali> Cause there are more than just the queen

08:11 * Ali had to deal with 5 of them the other day, not fun

08:11 <Ali> All my armor is busted

08:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> siblings? xD

08:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm messing with you btw.

08:12 * Ali could mess with Starlight_Glimmer right back, but then she'd be called out for bot abuse

08:13 <Starlight_Glimmer> You couldn't hurt me, I'm way too cute!

08:13 <Ali> Don't flatter yourself glim glam

08:13 * Starlight_Glimmer snuggles Ali

08:13 * Finwe impersonates Capt Harris of Police Squad: "Remember that nobody... nobody screws with me."

08:13 * Ali squeaks

08:14 * Ali gives Finwe a screwdriver

08:14 <Ali> Now you can screw with them :P

08:14 <Finwe> Well, it's something, not somebody.

08:17 <Finwe> Ali's a' weet, poor pony, Ali's seldom dry, She draigl't a' her petticoties comin thro' the rye.

08:17 <Ali> Wut you sayin?

08:18 * Finwe draigles Ali.

08:19 * Ali doesn't know what that is

08:20 <Finwe> I think that "draigle" is Scottish English for "drench".

08:20 <Finwe> It's from a poem by Robert Burns. o3o

08:21 <Finwe> Except the original has Jenny instead of Ali and body instead of pony.

15:20 <RazorSharpFang> ADragonDreaming, do you know what's the name of the block that lets you craft specific recipes automatically for turning essence of coal into coal?

15:23 <ADragonDreaming> depends on the mod?

15:23 <RazorSharpFang> I mean in the regrowth pack. The one you used in the server.

15:23 <ADragonDreaming> ah, in that case, I used the Crafty Crate

15:24 <RazorSharpFang> How do you do elven trades anyhow? That's my next thing to do.

15:24 <ADragonDreaming> look up the portal to alfheim in the botania book to find out how to build it

15:25 <ADragonDreaming> once built, you need to have a significant amount of mana, then you right click the center block with your botania wand to open it

15:25 <ADragonDreaming> once open, you just throw the trade item into the portal.

15:25 <RazorSharpFang> The Lexica Botania, yes?

15:26 <ADragonDreaming> yes

15:26 <ADragonDreaming> IIRC the crafty crate just needs dreamwood.

15:26 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: September Blue, Thy sorrows be forgotten...)

15:26 <RazorSharpFang> Yes, that's the component I'm stuck on.

15:26 <ADragonDreaming> which you get by tossing livingwood into the portal.

15:27 <ADragonDreaming> I think you need exactly one terrasteel ingot to make the portal.

15:27 <Cepheid> Hum, I wonder..

15:28 <ADragonDreaming> note that you don't need the portal to make sparks, and that sparks are a LOT faster for feeding the terrestrial agglomeration plate than the spreaders are.

15:35 <RazorSharpFang> Speaking of, how do you make terrasteel?

15:35 <ADragonDreaming> book will teach you

15:35 <ADragonDreaming> you need to build the terrestrial agglomeration plate, along with the lapis lazuli and livingstone foundation

15:35 <ADragonDreaming> then you need to point mana at it, and sparks are superior in every way

15:36 <ADragonDreaming> then you drop a mana pearl, a mana diamond, and a manasteel ingot on it and let half a pool of mana get shunted into it.

15:37 <ADragonDreaming> to make sure all the parts get on the plate, I recommend an open crate above it, with a hopper pointing into the crate, for precision drop.

15:39 <RazorSharpFang> Wowie this is a lot of work.

15:39 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.

15:39 <ADragonDreaming> Fortunately, you don't need a lot of terrasteel to get started.

15:40 <ADragonDreaming> Your other option for auto-crafting is auto-workbenches

15:40 <ADragonDreaming> the advantage of the crafty crate is that it can instantly craft whole stacks.

15:45 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/tnitor/status/1094623094772097026 Sweet geezus, either this is a debug area, or people figured out how to mod Dragon Marked For Death already.

15:50 <RazorSharpFang> ADragonDreaming, where ought I to put the spark? Right on top of the plate?

15:50 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.

15:50 <ADragonDreaming> just right-click it on there.

15:50 <ADragonDreaming> you'll need to put a spark on the mana pool, too

15:54 <Cepheid> Anyways, let's clean this room up a bit more.

15:54 <Cepheid> Got rid of all the vidya games on my bookshelf, so that's a start.  Let's empty out this filing cabinet I have for some reason.

15:56 <RazorSharpFang> This seems to eat a lot of mana.

15:56 <ADragonDreaming> yes. .5 mana pool per ingot

15:58 <RazorSharpFang> I can't seem to find information on the elven portal in the botania book. Which subsection is it?

15:59 <ADragonDreaming> I think there's an elven magic section

15:59 <ADragonDreaming> second row, third from the left?

16:00 <RazorSharpFang> Ah there we go.

16:01 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, the items despawned before it could complete.

16:01 <ADragonDreaming> thus why you want sparks.

16:01 <RazorSharpFang> Is one not sufficient?

16:01 <ADragonDreaming> was the pool full?

16:01 <ADragonDreaming> or did the pool have a spark on it?

16:01 <RazorSharpFang> It was almost half-full.

16:02 <ADragonDreaming> then you didn't have enough mana to begin with.

16:02 <ADragonDreaming> fill a pool.

16:02 <RazorSharpFang> Do pools retain their mana if you empty them?

16:02 <RazorSharpFang> Err, mine them that is.

16:02 <ADragonDreaming> no.

16:02 <ADragonDreaming> mana tablets are how you move mana around

16:05 <RazorSharpFang> Clearly I need more endoflames.

16:05 <ADragonDreaming> yes

16:11 <RazorSharpFang> I got my first ingot of terrasteel. Woo.

16:12 <ADragonDreaming> huzzah!

16:12 <ADragonDreaming> immediately turn it into nuggets

16:15 <Cepheid> There.  Filing cabinet is emptied of stuff, and extraneous garbage is thrown away.

16:16 <Cepheid> Which leaves me wiiiiith...

16:17 <RazorSharpFang> Do I use sparks to power the elven gateway too?

16:17 <Cepheid> What appears to be a PCI network card, 100MBit, a capture card, PCI-E 1x, and...

16:18 <Cepheid> A soundblaster card I cannot identify.

16:18 <Cepheid> PCI Soundblaster Audigy SE, looks like

16:18 <Cepheid> Which raises a lot of questions.

16:20 <Cepheid> https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71%2B6WSIde2L._SL1280_.jpg This is the network card.

16:23 <ADragonDreaming> RazorSharpFang: the elven gateway requires two mana pools with gaia pylons on them in a specific spot

16:23 <ADragonDreaming> that's part of the blueprint as seen in the book

16:23 <ADragonDreaming> the portal is powered from the mana in those pools specifically.

16:24 <ADragonDreaming> until you can get the spark augments, you'll need to use spreaders to put mana in them.

16:24 <RazorSharpFang> ADragonDreaming, this look good? https://i.imgur.com/Pmg9GwT.png

16:25 <ADragonDreaming> yep

16:25 <RazorSharpFang> How full should they be before I open the portal?

16:25 <ADragonDreaming> I'd say aim for at least half

16:26 <ADragonDreaming> portal constantly drains mana to stay open, so for your first opening, I'd suggest be ready with the trades.

16:26 <RazorSharpFang> How many endoflames' worth of mana is the constant drain?

16:26 <ADragonDreaming> That I don't know.

21:35 <Cepheid> So, problem goes something like this:  We're to come up with project ideas, and poke a TA about it.  So we thought up like, five or six different ideas.  Go to the TA, finally.

21:35 <Cepheid> All the ideas are rejected.

21:35 <Cepheid> "They've all been done."

21:35 <Cepheid> So, to give us some examples, she lists off project ideas other groups are taking on.  I'm listening intently, and each one she rambles off, I consider it.  There's a problem.

21:36 <Cepheid> Each project idea she listed off that other groups had done.  They had all been done before.

21:36 <Cepheid> They shouldn't have been accepted under that argument.

21:36 <Cepheid> ER, groups had taken on, not that groups had done*

21:36 <Cepheid> So, then all of a sudden, one of my teammates gets this bright idea.

21:36 *** Quits: OctaveSymphony (OctaveSymph@Octave.fluffy.pegasi.mare) (Connection closed)

21:37 <Cepheid> Let's combine, Rate My Professor, Facebook, and Carleton Central's auditing systems! o3o

21:37 <Cepheid> Basically, it's a massive course planner.

21:38 <Cepheid> You create an account, specify your program of study, then input information on all the courses you've completed, what grade you got, tags that describe the course, and then write a review on it.

21:39 <Cepheid> Other users can use that information to then search through their registered program of study, to find courses that meet certain requirements.  Requirements like "No group projects" "No midterm exams" "Social" "Free Elective" "Major Elective" "Required Course", and it's supposed to list all of those.

21:39 <Cepheid> You can also search by professor, by time period the course is taking place during a given semester..

21:39 <Cepheid> And then you can sort all this, etc.

21:41 <Cepheid> On top of that, you can pick out any of these courses, and then, based on your registered information, it'll give you a dependency graph to take the course, if one is needed before the student could register in it.

21:41 <Cepheid> And the best part?  I have to come up with a working mockup in less than... hmm...  one and a half days.

21:42 <Cepheid> The professor explicitly stated we were to avoid large projects like this.

21:42 <Cepheid> But the TA, in her infinite wisdom, partly approved it.  She told us she'd get back in a weeks time about final approval.

21:42 <Cepheid> She never did.  It just appeared on the approved topics list the professor threw up

21:43 <Cepheid> Also, we were supposed to have started working on it the moment it got approved.  Why didn't we?  Well, put simply, why work on something that wasn't approved?  You might find all your work was for naught, because it wasn't approved later on.

21:44 <Cepheid> This is why I got pissed back on Thursday.  The prof gave all the students *YAY* because we all waited until the final day for approval of a project idea to start work on it.

21:44 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, my group had no choice.

21:45 <Cepheid> So I talked back against her and the TAs regarding it.

21:45 <Cepheid> That however, caused me to become horribly sick.
