07:36 <Golden> Hey
07:36 <Schism> No, no, an actual sword made of gold. But hiya.
07:36 * ConfusionRift looks at Schism, confused.
07:37 * Schism completely spaces on where he left Ganon. "Oh right, the little hole to the east of the Cemetary."
07:38 <ConfusionRift> Okay, I know what you're referring to, but some placing is a bit... I can't put which is.
07:38 <Schism> ConfusionRift: oh, you know how it goes. You get to Ganon's Tower, that gives you the Ether Medallion, from there you go to Misery Mire to enter the Tower of Hera and get the Bow and Silver Arrows...
07:39 * ConfusionRift tilts so hard, his head falls off.
07:39 <ConfusionRift> This... is a randomizer, yes?
07:39 <Schism> Sure is. o3o
07:40 <ConfusionRift> Oh, okay. With how work has been, I thought I was having a mental breakdown and was misremembering.
07:40 <Schism> Oh, sorry. Yeah, thankfully nothing of the sort.
07:40 <ConfusionRift> :P
07:41 * ConfusionRift points at Schism with a TASbot completely destroying ALttP to its will. :P
07:42 <Schism> Aaaand in 'Ganon's Tower' on the outside... two full heart containers. This run would be 100% if only I found the Mushroom.
07:43 <ConfusionRift> Remember to check the scepter area.
07:44 * Schism headtilts?
07:44 <ConfusionRift> The ice scepter is not in a dungeon.
07:45 <Schism> Oh yeah, the ice cave was one of the first places I marked off my list.
07:45 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.
07:46 * Schism notes, "Also, the /locations/ are mixed up. The ice rod cave, the good bee cave, and the side area in that little section lead to... *check* The bomb/arrow upgrade NPC, Hyrule Castle, and the Shooting Gallery.
07:46 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, nooo.
07:46 <ConfusionRift> It randomizes rooms as well.
07:47 <Schism> Not rooms, just entrances and exits. :S
07:47 <Schism> I mean, I /could/ just do an item randomizer, but I wanted a challenge.
07:47 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-mqc71b.dynamic.fusionbroadband.com) (Connection closed)
07:47 <ConfusionRift> Sorry, I mean places, not necessarily rooms.
07:47 <ConfusionRift> Wait, no, that's worse.
07:48 <ConfusionRift> That means you could be going to the witches hut, end up inside the mountain, and then exit in Kakariko.
07:49 <Schism> The west entrance of Desert Palace was east of Link's house, in the flag cave; the front entrance was on the east side of Death Mountain; the right entrance was the bomb shed in Kakariko, and the top entrance was Kakariko's Money-Making Game.
07:49 <Schism> Shortcuts do make it faster to get around, though. :3
07:49 <Schism> (Especially when the freakin' ocarina was in Ganon's Tower.)
07:53 <ConfusionRift> Okay, really. From one of the woods' ground hole, he lands a heart piece. Then, he glitches a gate and makes his way through DW dungeon 3, side steps, breaks the map, falls, glitches again, and gets the hookshot in DW dungeon 2.
07:54 <Schism> Like DW dungeon 3 is particularly difficult.
07:54 <Schism> Also, hah. TASBot?
07:54 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
07:55 <ConfusionRift> Tool Assisted Speedrun bot.
07:55 <ConfusionRift> Well, it's more of a scripted run. Still, stupid hard to follow.
08:01 <Schism> Whee. So, 15 hours for my first randomized run. That's not too shabby.
08:04 <Schism> ConfusionRift, where's that video then?
08:04 <ConfusionRift> Oh, sorry. Here it beeee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkeUabJtpS4
08:04 <ConfusionRift> Have fun keeping track. :P

08:05 <Schism> The Death Mountain descent is of course a must.
08:05 <ConfusionRift> I do as well, but all goes crazy really fast.
08:07 <ConfusionRift> "Guards? Pffft, screw that." (glitches on a gate, and gets Zelda) "Okay, now time to leave." (O.B.s to the sanctuary)
08:08 <Schism> Yeah. The OOBing makes sense.

08:12 <Schism> Heh. :P
08:13 <ConfusionRift> All of this is possible, just very difficult to do this on a normal run.
08:13 <Schism> I know, about the most I've done is a fair amount of a bunny run.
08:13 <Schism> Moon pearl, pah. Who needs it.
08:15 <ConfusionRift> I did that too. And a friend of mine managed to mess a save and get stuck somewhere while on bunny form.
08:16 <Schism> Also, the Fire Rod is my bestest friend.
08:16 <ConfusionRift> If you got nothing else... yes.
08:16 <Schism> Especially against those hopping... well, I'll call them Pokeys, in Turtle Rock.
08:17 <Schism> Four stacked on one another, but a single blast of fire rod takes 'em out in one go.
08:17 * ConfusionRift rememebrs Vinny's OoT randomized run. That was a disaster.
08:18 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, those are a pain.
08:26 <Schism> That list of glitches. XD
08:26 <ConfusionRift> From stair hopping to datamining. :P
08:27 <Schism> I'm tempted to do another random run now. I'm quite certain that I can get it faster this time.
08:28 <Schism> Maybe this time it won't take me 12 hours to find the bow!
08:29 * ConfusionRift opens the chest at home, 10 rupees. "Yep... here we goooo."
08:29 <Schism> What mode are you doing?
08:30 <ConfusionRift> I'm not playing at the moment. Still cooling down.
08:30 <Schism> Ahh.
08:31 <ConfusionRift> It was something that happened to Vinny a lot in the OoT random run. Got rupees in the large treasure chests.
08:31 <Schism> Yea, it's been happening on DeceasedCrab's run too.
08:33 <Schism> Lessee. Normal difficulty, open (no introduction), full shuffle (LW and DW separate), no glitches, target is Ganon.
08:33 <Schism> First chest: 50 rupees. It begins!
08:38 * DerbyFloat sticks ConfusionRift's hooves in her mouth
08:38 * ConfusionRift pets DerbyFloat. :P
08:39 <Schism> Pfff. Sanctuary is two screens away from home.

09:01 <Schism> Oh, huh. This is convenient.
09:02 * Schism happens across Ganon. The Woodcutters are chopping down the tree which contains the pig. "Wasn't there a movie about this back in the '90s? Think it had Robin Williams and Tim Curry."
09:03 <ConfusionRift> I... this sound very familiar.
09:06 <ConfusionRift> Wait WHAT?!
09:06 * ConfusionRift checks his bank account.
09:07 <ConfusionRift> I dunno what happened there, but APPARENTLY I either got the wrong paycheck or there was a payment adjustment.
09:07 <Schism> That's not a good sound... what happened?
09:09 <ConfusionRift> On the same date, I received what seemed like two paychecks, which is odd. The very odd thing was that they sent two different payments, and then immediately removed one. Oddly enough, I was left with the smaller one (about a $10 difference).
09:10 <Schism> Huh. Well, better than no payment at all. @_@
09:11 <Schism> Talk about worrying.
09:11 <ConfusionRift> And you're right. I'm wondering as to what triggered this pull, since this was a check with my bonus.
09:12 *** Moongoodgirl{K} is now known as Moongoodboy{K}
09:15 * ConfusionRift whispers to Schism. "Our attendance now affects our bonus."
09:16 <Schism> Hooboy.
09:17 <Schism> Okay, game, you've been frontloading the rupees so far, what's in Blind's old house?
09:17 * Schism acquires... bombs, 50 rupees, two pieces of heart, and a Lv.1 Shield.
09:18 * ConfusionRift checks the chicken coop, and is now fighting Ganon. "Aaaaaaah! Help!!!"
09:18 <Schism> Hah, last run that was the Misery Mire dungeon.
09:18 *** Joins: OctaveSymphony (OctaveSymph@Octave.fluffy.pegasi.mare)
09:19 <Schism> There is some method to the madness, though. You can only wind up fighting Ganon if you enter a pit.
09:20 <ConfusionRift> That... that makes sense.
09:25 <ConfusionRift> The way to get to Ganon is by the hole in the pyramid in the center of the dark world, after hwhacking the wizzzard a second time. So it would make sense to make that entrance random to another hole, instead of a door or gate.
09:26 <Schism> Also, the nearby exit which is normally linked to that hole will always be the other side.
09:26 <Schism> So in this case, the hole that the woodcutters produce leads to Ganon, but if you fall off during the fight, you'll exit from the cave behind the woodcutters' cottage.
09:27 <ConfusionRift> Huh.
09:29 <Schism> Piece of heart, piece of heart, piece of heart (yeesh), rupees... bombos? Well, I mean, okay...
09:39 <Schism> Ah. So that's why Bombos.
09:39 <ConfusionRift> What the...? Really Apple? Really? Oh, for those with an iMac Pro, have fuuun.
09:40 <Schism> To what is this in reference, then?
09:42 <ConfusionRift> The machine is expensive, repairs are expensive, and if you lost the warranty for some reason it would cost you 2x - 4x as much to get it fixed. My greatest fear of this is that if you're trying to be a brave soul and try to fix it yourself... the system has an unshielded and exposed power supply right behind the display.
09:43 <ConfusionRift> So... you have a good chance of getting a really nasty zap.
09:43 <Schism> Cute, reminds me of old CRTs and how you had to let them sit for a long while before you even thought of taking them apart.
09:45 <ConfusionRift> The 8-bit Guy did a few old system restorations that had integrated CRT displays, and just watching this guy take them apart is just uuurgh.
09:46 <ConfusionRift> And there was one he had to ground. resolder, and refit the screen to fully restore it.

11:10 <Schism> I begin to wonder if the game is trying to make up for its previous aggravation.
11:11 <ConfusionRift> Well, if the beginning is garbage, chances are everything would be better towards the end. Just as if one has a good start, everything would just start getting pretty bad towards the end.
11:11 <Schism> Oh, I meant the aggravation of the previous seed, too.
11:11 <ConfusionRift> Aaaah.
11:12 <ConfusionRift> Oh, so the randomizer does use seeds for generation, so TECHNICALLY one can follow another person's run.
11:13 <Schism> Indeed, and this is a good starter seed, gives all the tools pretty early on.
11:13 <Schism> Well, many. Haven't seen the Hookshot yet.

16:54 <Stormspark> fun fact: Cats are starting to evolve opposable thumbs
16:55 <Cepheid> I am aware of polydactylism.
16:55 <Cepheid> Tizzy has opposable thumbs.
16:55 <Cepheid> She uses it to pick up stuff on rare occasion.
17:00 <Stormspark> cats are going to take over the planet after humans are gone
17:00 <Cepheid> Funny thing, this likely isn't due to evolving.
17:00 <Cepheid> Evolution is a reactionary thing, something that occurs because it is necessary for further survival or improving survival.

17:39 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/okhtM7X.png The most epic screenshot I'll ever make of my MH Character. I used wedge beetles to catch up to it, and was positioned just right to slam my hammer down on it from above. I killed the monster with a falling impact strike.

18:53 <PinkieShy> Church had a special guest from China today..
18:54 <PinkieShy> He told us how bad things are over there.. Spies every where, some elderly locked in cages, and face recognation stuff is like every where and even on the streets.
18:55 <SilverLining> Why did they lock the elderly in cages?
18:56 <PinkieShy> He said its the elderly that families have nothing to do with..
18:57 <Cepheid> That's pretty much common knowledge to people outside of the country. Even to some folks within the country.
18:58 <Cepheid> Communist government, and rife with corruption.
18:58 <Cepheid> Monitoring of it's citizens is a combination of cameras, internet firewalls, and the like. The government suppresses information that criticizes it.
19:02 <PinkieShy> The guy told us he has to work to get and keep is Visa over in China
19:02 <ADragonDreaming> yep
19:04 <PinkieShy> Cepheid the guy told us a story of social media over there.. He says he don't use internet there but.. The ones that do told him that they got in trouble for having a 'to clean' of a social media profile.
19:06 <Cepheid> I am aware of this, you aren't telling me anything I don't know.
19:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Ponies Meet a Bunch of Disney Stuff! "Epilogue" - Animation [ http://tinyurl.com/yxf7srvl ]
19:09 <Cepheid> Basically, stuff like this is general common knowledge if you have any inclination in my field to research the going-ons of software development, hardware development, and the like.
19:09 <Cepheid> Also, turns out that China's hardware manufacturers have been installing an incredibly small chip that isn't on any PCB schematics.
19:18 <ADragonDreaming> source for that last one?
19:22 <Cepheid> https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-hack-how-china-used-a-tiny-chip-to-infiltrate-america-s-top-companies
19:22 <Cepheid> Amazon and a few others noticed it during hardware reviews.
19:24 <ADragonDreaming> as regards that:
19:24 <ADragonDreaming> https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20181025/00472140907/detailed-thorough-debunking-bloombergs-sketchy-story-about-supply-chain-hack.shtml
19:25 <ADragonDreaming> and the article that analyzes Bloomberg's one in full: https://www.servethehome.com/investigating-implausible-bloomberg-supermicro-stories/
19:27 <Cepheid> Huh.
19:29 <Cepheid> Very well then, I rescind my comment.
19:29 <ADragonDreaming> Bloomberg's usually a good source, but in this case, yeah
19:30 <ADragonDreaming> (note I still don't support China's totalitarianism)
19:30 <Cepheid> That said, I still don't entirely trust the idea that China hasn't been doing secretive things to hardware.
19:31 <Cepheid> Takes a lot of work to keep an eye on your people.
19:31 * Cepheid goes to hunt some Hornetaurs.
19:31 <Cepheid> Also, maxed out Shieldspire.
19:34 <Cepheid> Think I'll work on the Gajalaka bomb next.
19:34 <ADragonDreaming> oh, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened, but bear in mind the US has done similar to China hardware.
19:34 <ADragonDreaming> canada may have actual moral hgh ground, though
19:35 <Cepheid> Hard to say.
19:35 <Cepheid> If you're referring to the Hauwei case though..
19:35 <Cepheid> We had no choice. It'd be like ignoring an Interpol request to arrest a known criminal.
19:36 <ADragonDreaming> eh, the whole huawei ban is a protectionist move covered up as anti-espionage
19:36 <Cepheid> Regarding that case, I'm less upset about the whole arrest, and more just how the US was handling it. Taking it's time.
19:36 <Cepheid> It caused a lot of flak for Canada.
19:37 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-3o1tp0.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
19:37 <Cepheid> There was a lot of concern amongst the public that the US would use the arrest as a bargaining chip in negotiations with China, for trade.
19:39 <Cepheid> That said, I'm gonna drop the topic and get back to game. Political discussions never end well.
19:41 <Cepheid> Aaaand that's the Butterfly A&B sets done.
19:44 * ADragonDreaming opens it back up
19:45 * Ali flops over Cepheid, hopes by the next week or two Factorio .17 will be out.
