02:10 <Cepheid> I... don't fully understand what this professor wants me to submit for this project assignment, given that none of it matches up in any way, shape or form that makes sense.
02:11 <Cepheid> We're tasked with picking a problem to be solved, so we did. Then we analyzed the problem, interviewed folks, and designed a protoype. Simple enough.
02:12 <Cepheid> She wanted us to then take the STATIC IMAGERY PROTOTYPE and apply a Wizard-of-Oz test with users on it, that is, have the users make use of the STATIC IMAGERY PROTOTYPE, and then have the STATIC IMAGERY PROTOTYPE respond to user input. Emphasis added.
02:13 <Cepheid> Finally, she wants each of us to go through our STATIC IMAGERY PROTOTYPE and use the STATIC IMAGERY PROTOTYPE to figure out if there's any issues that crop up as we poke at the STATIC IMAGERY PROTOTYPE, and then comment on these issues.
02:13 <Cepheid> She wants us to apply HCI techniques to static imagery. PNGs. Images.
02:13 <Cepheid> While some do work with that kind of stuff..
02:13 <Cepheid> The idea of using static images to test a program is..
02:14 <Cepheid> There's a type of prototyping that does allow us to do what she's asking, but, the problem? None of the prior requirements mention using that form of prototyping.
02:14 <Cepheid> Because the project is not supposed to involve any sort of coding.
02:14 <Cepheid> And yet, to do what she is asking us to do, we'd have to code a prototype or application that drives a prototype.
02:15 <Cepheid> There's no way to "win" this problem.
02:15 <Cepheid> She has given us conflicting instructions for an assignment, in such a way that it cannot be completed satisfactorily.

03:00 <ADragonDreaming> no worries
03:00 <Cepheid> ... Though I suppose you had D&D tonight, I believe?
03:01 <Cepheid> I am assuming this based on last week, mind.
03:01 <ADragonDreaming> yes though one player decided to drop out and now it's scheduled for wednesdays
03:02 <Cepheid> Ah.
03:03 <Cepheid> I'd like to try playing, but I seem to have a habit of just slowly disappearing off the edge of a cliff over time. Though that could potentially be an ADHD thing, and might not be as much an issue now.
03:03 <Cepheid> Basically, when I do something, I like to do it relatively frequently. Once every couple of days. A weekly or monthly thing causes me to lose interest rapidly.
03:04 <ADragonDreaming> ah
03:05 <Cepheid> But that's also atypical of ADHD, apparently. You get distracted by other- Ooh, what's that shiny on the ground?

11:21 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, game?

11:24 <Koopz> Amon's hat is glorious
11:24 <Koopz> gotta admit though that it might be a bit too much for a Lalafell to wear
11:25 <Schism> Well, maybe.
11:26 <Schism> Now, I trust you've gotten to the Captain rank already?
11:27 <Koopz> i was Storm Captain for a few days already, yeah but i lacked the 35k coins for the bow
11:28 <Koopz> i still haven't reached max level xD
11:30 <Koopz> i'm kinda confident that i'll reach 70 this week
11:30 <Koopz> conquered Doma Castle yesterday
11:30 <Schism> Mmm, then comes the real fun. But at least you can immediately start getting into the tomestones for proper gear.
11:31 <Schism> Or, as an intermediate, you can spend some Centurios if you haven't yet.
11:31 <Schism> Or rather, if you have any.

11:31 * Schism eyerolls. "Taking your time is a good thing."
11:32 <Koopz> one of them basically spent an entire day unlocking all dungeons that weren't covered by the main questline
11:33 <Schism> Well, I mean, there are worse things to spend a day on.
11:33 <Schism> But that also means that they skipped the best questlines in the game. :(
11:33 <Koopz> like Hildibrand?
11:33 <Schism> Exactly.
11:33 <Koopz> what a ride
11:34 <Schism> I still absolutely adore those quests.

11:38 <Schism> Well, expert roulettes /are/ pretty good.
11:38 <Schism> Shame you're not on Coeurl, or I could hook you up with some crafted gear.
11:40 <Koopz> oh 2 of my friends have been playing for 6 years, they could provide me with everything
11:40 <Schism> Doesn't make a difference if they're not crafters. :S
11:40 <Koopz> one of them has all jobs on 70
11:41 <Schism> That means less than nothing! You could get to 70 by poking the Namazu with a tea strainer!
11:41 <Koopz> i'll relieve them of their materials when i'm starting to get my jobs up :P
11:41 <Schism> Okay, okay. :P
11:41 <Schism> Oh yeah, you played any mahjong yet?
11:42 <Koopz> honestly no... i'm intrigued but haven't played the tutorial yet
11:42 <Koopz> recently looked up the original on google and... it looks kinda complicated
11:43 <Koopz> but it's probably not as complicated as Shogi :D
11:43 <Schism> I can sum it up for you very quickly.
11:44 <Schism> Your goal is to make a hand of four sets of three, and a pair. Each turn, you draw a tile, then discard a tile. If someone else discards a tile you need to complete a set, you can 'steal' it, then discard a tile from your hand. Sane so far?
11:46 <Schism|Adagio> Huh. That was peculiar.
11:46 <Koopz> yeah
11:47 <Schism|Adagio> Desktop just shut down... well, I'll bring it back up in a moment.
11:47 <Koopz> something like Poker
11:47 <Schism|Adagio> Kinda like rummy.
11:47 <Schism|Adagio> Anyway, for sets of 3 of a kind, you can take the tile from anyone who discards it; for runs like 1-2-3 or 6-7-8, you can only take it if the person before you discards it.
11:48 *** Quits: Schism (Schism@royalkitchen.canterlot.equ) (Connection closed)
11:48 <Schism|Adagio> Also, once you take a tile from someone else, you have to show the set to everyone. This'll be important later.
11:49 <Schism|Adagio> The last rule in this part is that once you've discarded a tile from your own hand, you cannot steal that same tile from anyone.
11:51 *** Joins: Schism (Schism@royalkitchen.canterlot.equ)
11:52 <Schism> Still with me thus far?
11:53 <Koopz> uh... yeah
11:53 <Schism> It's pretty simple up to that point.
11:54 <Schism> Now, here's where it gets a little more complicated. In order for a hand to win, it has to be worth something, point-wise.
11:56 <Schism> The five basic hands are: All triples (pon), all runs (chi), all sets have a 1 or 9 (terminals), NO sets have a 1 or 9 (simples), or a mix with a set of non-suited tiles.
11:56 *** Joins: Arkomeda (Arkomeda@Pony-9q42tc.t9r1.n0fm.0587.2a02.IP)
11:58 <Schism> There is also the additional benefit that if your hand is closed - that is, you haven't taken any tiles - then it is always worth points.
11:58 <Schism> (stolen any, that is.)
11:59 <Koopz> so once you take a tile from someone else you have to play open?
11:59 <Schism> Correct - the rest of your hand remains opaque, but the set which you made is placed on the table for everyone to see.
12:00 <Schism> Depending on what you're going for, it can sometimes be well worth it to open your hand.

13:16 <Koopz> https://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/mahjong/mahjong_e.html so i played a few rounds now
13:16 <Koopz> and i have no clue what's going on
13:17 <Koopz> i can only take discarded tiles to complete a set of 3, yes?
13:18 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
13:19 <Koopz> and i can only *complete* a run of 3 using tiles from the player next to me, yes?
13:20 <Koopz> what's with the tiles in the middle? and what's the "East" thing?
13:21 <Schism> Okay, sorry, was briefly AFK.
13:22 <Schism> You can only pull a discard from another player if it completes a set, yes.
13:22 <Schism> And a run of three, or 'chi', is only available from the player before you.
13:22 <Schism> Now then. By the tiles in the middle, do you refer to one or two which are upturned?
13:23 <Koopz> yep
13:23 <Koopz> the stack of 10 tiles with one upturned
13:23 <Schism> Ah, that would be the dora. The dora is basically just a tile which counts for scoring in a hand.
13:24 <Schism> If you complete a hand with a dora, it's worth more points.
13:24 <Schism> Similarly, you may have noticed a set of three tiles, one in each suit, which are coloured red. These are usually the 5s.
13:26 <Schism> The winds (directions) are also a scoring matter. If you complete a set of winds which matches yours, the table's, or both, that qualifies as extra points.
13:26 <Koopz> the scoring's madness
13:28 <Schism> It really helps to just think of it as a valid hand being one of the five I mentioned above, and then everything else gets tacked on as a bonus.
13:29 <Schism> Also, two things you've likely seen now which affect gameplay. The first is the difference between 'ron' and 'tsumo'. Ron is when you finish your hand off a discarded tile; tsumo is when you draw the last tile you need.
13:29 <Schism> If you win via discard, you take points from the person who discarded the tile. If you win via self-draw, you take points split amongst everyone.
13:30 <Koopz> can i only pick the last discarded tile from someone?
13:31 <Schism> Yes, once the option passes, it's a dead tile.
13:32 <Koopz> only left there in the middle so people can count how many are left
13:32 <Schism> Also left there in the middle for everyone to see, arranged by sides, because you cannot steal a tile you've discarded beforehand.
13:32 <Schism> So if, for example, the 2 of characters has been discarded by two players, you can bet it's probably safe to discard yourself.
13:33 <Koopz> because it's unlikely to get picked up by somebody else and therefore accidently play into their hands
13:34 <Schism> Exactly.
13:34 <Schism> Similarly, if you see two dragons of the same type on the table, it's usually - USUALLY - safe to discard one.
13:35 <Schism> (Dragons are the red, green, and white symbols.)
13:36 <Schism> The last piece of info about actual play, not getting into scoring, is 'riichi', or 'reach'. This one is fairly straightforward. If you have a closed hand which only needs one more tile to reach completion, you can call 'reach'. Doing so means you have to discard any tiles which don't finish your hand, but is worth extra points if you succeed.
13:37 <Schism> Oh, and as a point -- you can call a run from another player besides the one to your left, if it will finish your hand.
13:40 <Koopz> http://koopz.rocks/s/2019-02-19_14-40-44.png i seem to be really bad xD

13:42 <Schism> Hmmm. That's not so terrible, really. You had most of a hand going on there, you were in south, and you just needed the 1 of sticks to call, or for someone else to drop the south.
13:43 <Schism> You weren't furiten (meaning unable to pull a discard to win), you just didn't get lucky on that one.
13:44 <Schism> You even had a dora, though I see the dealer also had one.
13:45 <Schism> Looking at the dealer's hand, that was... I want to say 3,000 points?
13:45 <Koopz> do i have to discard 12 tiles every round?
13:45 <Schism> Nah, you can win on your first draw.
13:45 <Koopz> there's no "pass"
13:45 <Schism> You just have to discard a tile every time you pick one up, so your hand remains 13 in size.
13:45 <Schism> (Or 14 upon completion.)
13:49 <Koopz> do set scores differ on wether you steal a tile to complete it or pick it up by yourself?
13:50 <Schism> Yes and no.
13:50 <Schism> The point value remains the same, but if you win on a discard, you take all the points from the player who discarded it.
13:51 <Schism> If you win on a draw, the points are collected from all three players, split evenly.
13:53 <Schism> Oh, there are two exceptions to the 'four sets and a pair', but one is unlikely to get, and the other is unlikely to be seen in your lifetime.
13:53 <Schism> First is 7 pairs. The second is a 1 and 9 of every suit, all four winds, all three dragons, and one other terminal (1 or 9) or honor (wind/dragon) tile.
13:54 <Schism> That second hand is vanishingly unlikely, but everyone goes for it when they have half a chance, heh.
13:55 <Koopz> can you Pon/Chii the dragons?
13:55 <Schism> Pon, yes. Chi, no.
13:55 <Schism> Same for the winds.
13:57 <Koopz> Pon = 3x same, Chii = 1,2,3 - both meaning you have to take one of the tiles from another player?
13:57 <Koopz> or regardless of how you got the 3 together?
13:57 <Schism> They just mean a specific type of set.
13:58 <Schism> CALLING them is when you take the tile from another player, and put them down to show proof, opening your hand.
14:00 <Koopz> http://koopz.rocks/s/2019-02-19_14-59-54.png why won't this end, lol?

15:23 * Schism waves to Cepheid. "Hey, question. Do you think that an Etrian Odyssey-styled game would work well as a text-based one?"

15:40 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-sq2v4f.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)
15:44 <Finwe> Mr Cepheid.
15:44 * Finwe doffs his hat.
15:46 <Cepheid> Define text-based one.
15:47 <Schism> Like, for example, a single-player MUD -- yes, I know the idiocy of that phrase -- which gives the description for each room and some data on the surrounding ones (for FOEs), but doesn't provide its own map, and the player's party is effectively mapped as a set of items they carry around.
15:51 <Cepheid> It can work.
15:52 <Cepheid> Though, the simplicity of the design would actually make it easier in the long run to probably create a customized core engine instead.
15:53 <Cepheid> It's definitely viable to do what you suggested using existing MUD engines, but it'd probably be complicated a tad, and limited to a degree. It'd be simpler to just create a new core to work with that supports controlling groups of characters.
15:54 <Schism> Hmmm, I'm not sure how limited it would be, ultimately. MUF is pretty extensible, and I'm tempted to say Turing-complete.
15:54 <Schism> And even MPI scripts could get one pretty far.
15:54 <Schism> (That's MU-Forth, not... an esolang.)
15:57 <Schism> Biggest headache might be FOE movement in that regard.
15:58 <Schism> Oh god, X86 page fault handling can be used to execute a machine which turns out to be Turing-complete.
15:58 <Cepheid> FOEs are mostly patrollers.
15:58 <Cepheid> The exception to the rule is aggressive FOEs, which will follow the player when spotted.
15:59 <Cepheid> This mostly occurs either due to direct straight line-of-sight, or through entering set regions.
15:59 <Schism> Indeed, but EO is a turn-based game even on the map, which means that any action the players take (and yes, a 'wait' action will be there) needs to ping every extant FOE on the map and adjust its locale accordingly. Not hard, just a pain to do for every action.
16:00 <Cepheid> Not necessarily.
16:00 <Schism> Of course, were I smart I'd just tie it into the timer.
16:01 <Schism> And have every action forward that instead.
16:01 <Cepheid> Using a timer would make more sense.
16:01 <Cepheid> Like, every 5 seconds, the FOEs take a turn.
16:01 <Cepheid> Regardless of whether or not the player(s) have.
16:01 <Cepheid> It'd be the only way it makes any sense and works.
16:02 <Schism> Ah, well. I do mean single-player in this regard, so there's no reason it can't be entirely turn-based.
16:02 <Cepheid> Right.
16:02 <Cepheid> In that case, just standing still and not doing anything would be "waiting"
16:02 <Schism> Erm... no reason for it to be real-time at all.
16:03 <Cepheid> The only actions that trigger a turn in the EO series without moving, especially EO5 and EON, are 'activation' of blocker tiles, or activating a harvest point.
16:04 *** Joins: Quill-Swirl (Nyah@Pony-jaks4r.res.rr.com)
16:04 <Schism> Right. A 'wait' command would be similar, but without actually doing anything. (A part of me also thinks that a turn should be used up when the player uses an item out of combat.)
16:05 <Cepheid> Except the EO series doesn't support a wait command.
16:05 <Cepheid> So it's not really necessary.
16:06 * Schism shrugs, "It doesn't have to be a perfect rendition. And a few puzzles could be added which make use of waiting."
16:06 <Cepheid> If we replicate the mechanics of the EO series in a MUD, then there's no wait command, and using an item does not take up a turn.
16:06 <Cepheid> There is that, yeah.
16:12 <Schism> I swear, if I ever see Doug Ford on the street I'm tempted to chuck a $1 beer bottle at his head.
16:20 <Cepheid> What'd he do now?

16:22 <Cepheid> What.
16:23 <Schism> Yeah, the changes made by the Liberal government are being rolled back.

16:25 * Cepheid facepalms.
16:25 <Cepheid> That man is ruining this province.

16:33 <Schism> Indeed...

18:07 <LibrarianofHope> next question
18:07 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:07 <Cepheid> It's basically something that Ottawa did a while back.
18:07 <LibrarianofHope> bank!
18:07 <Schism> Ouch. Feel for the people of Uxbridge.
18:07 <Cepheid> In the early 2000s, Ottawa did something called amalgamation.
18:07 <LibrarianofHope> you anexed it?
18:07 <Schism> It became a Frankencity!
18:08 <Cepheid> They took all the small towns nearby Ottawa, and amalgamated them into one larger city.
18:08 <LibrarianofHope> seems reasonable
18:08 <Cepheid> Each town retains a moderate amount of independence, that is, we still have a government over Orleans.
18:08 <LibrarianofHope> and you live in the orleans part
18:08 <Cepheid> But for the most part, we're considered as part of Ottawa, and the Ottawa City Council is what controls most of what happens to us.
18:08 <Cepheid> Yes.
18:08 <Cepheid> Orleans is on the eastern side the city.
18:08 <LibrarianofHope> so voodo
18:09 <Cepheid> It's considered... hmm..
18:09 <Cepheid> Kanata, on the west end, is considered the rich part of the city.
18:09 <Cepheid> It's full of people with too much money for their own good.
18:09 <Schism> Cepheid: You remember that LibrarianofHope lives in Mexico City, ne?
18:09 <LibrarianofHope> you have a palce called kanata?
18:09 <Cepheid> Orleans meanwhile is closer to a mix of middle and lower class.
18:09 <Cepheid> Yes.
18:09 <Cepheid> To both questions.
18:09 <LibrarianofHope> like Konatas Mom
18:09 <LibrarianofHope> owo
18:10 <Schism> I have a sneaking suspicion that 'a city eating the small villages around it' is probably familiar, heh.
18:10 <Cepheid> That said, Orleans is an interesting case.
18:10 <Cepheid> The city is having trouble dealing with traffic.
18:10 <LibrarianofHope> even better, so consider we anex the state of mexico to make a megalopolis
18:10 <Cepheid> Orleans apparently, by far, has the highest ridership on the local OC Transpo transportation system.
18:10 <Cepheid> And traffic during rush hour is particularly bad between central Ottawa and Orleans.
18:11 <LibrarianofHope> you think traffic is your ally, i was born in it, molded by it
18:11 <Cepheid> That's part of why the LRT project was created, and goes from Orleans to the west side of central Ottawa.
18:11 <Cepheid> Not surprisingly, Kanata was pissed at this.

18:12 <Cepheid> This is partly why we know that Kanata is full of rich people, because they made us aware of it
18:12 <Cepheid> They basically felt that, because of their status, they were more deserving of the LRT project.
18:13 <Cepheid> Nevermind that their ridership and traffic is about on par with the rest of the city, unlike with Orleans.
18:13 <Cepheid> That said, they are getting their own LRT path. *AFTER* the current one is done.
18:13 <Cepheid> Assuming the current one is ever finished.
18:14 <Cepheid> The current deadline is March 31st for the keys to be handed over to the city.
18:14 * Ali flops over Cepheid
18:14 <Cepheid> But even now, people, including the local news stations, are beginning to question if that deadline will be met.
18:15 <LibrarianofHope> thats cute
18:15 <Cepheid> It was supposed to be done in 2017.
18:15 <LibrarianofHope> mexicans expect nothing from goverment
18:15 <Cepheid> I think that may have something to do with our distrust of the deadline.
18:15 <LibrarianofHope> we work around them and let them do their madness
18:15 <Cepheid> Plus the whole "the city was fined 1 million dollars, and the city just spiked taxes and bus fares to pay for it."
18:17 <Cepheid> In any case, Ottawa's mostly a boring city.
18:17 <Cepheid> Too much politics.
18:17 <Cepheid> But then, that's to be expected because it's the capital city of Canada.
18:17 <Ali> Cepheid, what do you think of the changes to with .17?
18:17 <Cepheid> I like them.
18:17 <Ali> They are allowing you island maps

18:18 <Ali> Yeah that's what I'm worried about too
18:18 <Cepheid> I'd prefer multiple islands. Or an archipelogo setting.
18:19 <Ali> Cause if there's not enough resources on that single island, you're doomed
18:19 <Cepheid> But, given all the changes they made to worldgen, it might not be difficult to make such changes.
18:19 <Schism> hmmm. I wonder...
18:19 <Cepheid> That said, there are issues with multi-island setups.
18:19 <Ali> How so?
18:19 <Cepheid> Namely, no easy way to connect them.
18:19 <Ali> Ah
18:19 <Ali> Well it makes you have to use the soil reclaim a lot huh?
18:19 <Cepheid> What it would require is a new "bridge" element.

18:21 <Ali> I never did the SP missions past tutorials
18:21 <Cepheid> Oh, right, the SP tutorials stuff.
18:21 <Cepheid> The campaign is basically a tutorial to rocket ship, more or less.
18:22 <Cepheid> Guh.
18:22 <Cepheid> My face is feeling weird.
18:22 <LibrarianofHope> hot?
18:22 <LibrarianofHope> numb?
18:22 <Cepheid> Pressure.
18:22 <LibrarianofHope> ear good?
18:22 <Cepheid> My ears feel like they're boiling, but that's because I'm using headphones. I should go up to my bedroom and use speakers.
18:23 <LibrarianofHope> its the inner ear pressure
18:23 <LibrarianofHope> affects face
18:24 <Cepheid> I still don't fully understand how it all works, to be honest.
18:24 <Cepheid> I suffer no symptoms of illness when I sleep.
18:24 <Cepheid> But when I awake, I start to suffer a headache within 3 hours.
18:25 <Cepheid> I presume my immune system becomes more effective while I am asleep.
18:25 <Cepheid> And that it clears up whatever problems are causing my sinuses to close up more tightly than a Fallout Vault.
18:26 <Cepheid> But when I awake, my immune system, for whatever reason, slows down or becomes less effective.
18:26 <Cepheid> And then whatever's causing all the inflammation starts gaining ground. Which results in my sinuses slowly closing up tighter than a Fallout vault.

18:33 <LibrarianofHope> language center exploded, he mixed them
18:33 <LibrarianofHope> hoi thelema
18:36 <Cepheid> A rough literal translation, which might be wrong because I think 「それだけ」 is a sort of slang-like usage, is "I am me, and that's it." Given the context, it's akin to "I am who I am, and that's all there is to say." As in, a person cannot simply change who they are in some respects.
18:38 <LibrarianofHope> i think, therefore i am
18:38 <LibrarianofHope> how do you say my name?
18:39 <Cepheid> In Japanese?
18:40 <LibrarianofHope> yep
18:41 <Cepheid> First off, it requires some context. The word "librarian" is obvious, you're a librarian at a library. Of course, if you're chief librarian of a library, the word changes. Meanwhile, "of hope", that needs clarification with relation to your title of Librarian.
18:41 <LibrarianofHope> Librarian that gives hopes
18:42 <LibrarianofHope> in the taking care sense
18:42 <Cepheid> That gives hopes. So you're not a person who is hoping that something occurs, but rather, inspires other people.
18:42 <LibrarianofHope> yes
18:43 <Cepheid> Hmm..
18:46 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-eh2.e7q.56.172.IP)
18:50 <Cepheid> Hard to say, to be honest. Currently, I only know how to express "of" in the sense of possessing it.
18:51 <Cepheid> That is, expressing it in the form of "My cat" or "My house" or "Computer owned by X" or "X's computer."
18:52 <Cepheid> The only "correct" name I can give you is your katakana name, given that you are a foreigner in relation to Japan.
18:52 <LibrarianofHope> ok
18:52 <Cepheid> And that would be 「ライブラリアン・オブ・ホープ」. which is "Raiburarian obu hoopu" where the "o" sound is akin to the "oa" in English "boat".
18:52 <Cepheid> The lack of distinction between l and r is the reason for the "r" at the start of librarian.
18:55 <LibrarianofHope> would hopebringer be easier?

19:04 <Ali> Into a hoof on LibrarianofHope's face
19:05 <Cepheid> 「司書は希望持ってくる」 would roughly translate to "Librarian brings hope." I don't know how to express "Librarian who brings hope."
19:05 <Cepheid> As for Ali's name, it depends on how it's meant to be pronounced, for transliteration.
19:05 <Cepheid> I pronounce it like the English word "Alley" but I am not sure if that is correct.

19:11 <Cepheid> I like these new speakers I got.
19:11 <Cepheid> First off, they cause my desk to vibrate, so I feel the sound if I rest my hands on the desk or keyboard.
19:11 <Cepheid> Feels funky.
19:12 <Cepheid> But on top of that, the bass is loud enough and directed enough that I can feel it, even with distance between me and my desk.
19:14 * Cepheid sends LM2's Jormungandr after Schism.
19:15 * Ali sends Hive Fleet Jormungandr after Cepheid
19:15 * Cepheid retaliates with the Ultramarines.
19:16 <Cepheid> Schism, I'm upset about one boss track of LM2.
19:16 <Cepheid> Given the boss in question, and it's relation to LM1.
19:17 <Ali> Cepheid, I love to nom on some blueberries. Or should I say the Smurfs of the mahreens
19:17 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:18 <Cepheid> I wonder if their nature as smurfs who are OP is the reason the Battle of Macragge was created.
19:18 <Cepheid> Since that's one case where they lost.
19:19 <Cepheid> That said, the inquisitor's approach to handling the Tyranid threat seems entirely reasonable.
19:19 <Cepheid> Yes, it's terrifying a terrible idea to literally turn entire, populated planets into barren worlds with no biological life without evacuating the people on the planet, but..
19:19 <Cepheid> Given how overpopulated most of the planets are constantly described as, there'd be no way to evacuate everyone in time.
19:19 * Ali nom nom noms
19:20 <Cepheid> And stalling the Tyranid growth via complete destruction of their food source seems a reasonable strategy until a better tactic can be pulled up.
19:20 <Cepheid> Especially since any food source will be integrated into the swarm, so..
19:21 <Cepheid> Arguably, the battle of Macragge probably made that particular swarm worse.
19:21 <Cepheid> Best of the best of Space Marines, their genetic material, their tactics, their knowledge, integrated into a hive-mind, which can then re-use that material to create new weapons, better warriors and the like.
19:22 <Cepheid> In other words, tyranid smurfs.
19:22 <Cepheid> Only less blue and purple.
19:23 <LibrarianofHope> not fan of that universe
19:24 <LibrarianofHope> no hope at all
19:25 <LibrarianofHope> i do have a related tecnique
19:25 <LibrarianofHope> ali exterminatus
19:25 <LibrarianofHope> consists of making ali mad and sending her to the planet
19:25 * Ali hisses at exterminatis
19:25 <LibrarianofHope> owo
19:25 <LibrarianofHope> see? it works
19:25 <Cepheid> Not entirely.
19:25 * Ali sics the Genestealer Cult on LibrarianofHope
19:26 <Cepheid> In some of the writings, it's implied that some species of Tyranid can dig into the earth deep enough to escape Exterminatus.
19:26 * LibrarianofHope smushes bug bois with gravity malfuction
19:26 <Cepheid> Once Exterminatus is completed, they simply pop back up.
19:27 <Cepheid> In order to use the technique to stop them and impact their numbers, you would have to turn worlds ahead of the fleet barren, while also attacking the fleet directly.
19:27 <LibrarianofHope> wonder if my chaos goddesses can kill their chaos gods in a fairish fight
19:27 <Cepheid> Alternatively..
19:27 <Cepheid> Allow the fleet to enter a solar system, then detonate the star.
19:27 <Cepheid> Perhaps by baiting them to the planet closest to the star, to get as much of the fleet as possible in the system.
19:28 <LibrarianofHope> you ever wondered wht the emperor is thinking in his golden throne, if he is still sane?
19:28 <Cepheid> But it doesn't seem like such technology exists in WH40k.
19:28 <LibrarianofHope> must be awfull

19:50 <Cepheid> Not so much insane, but down-to-Earth.
19:50 <LibrarianofHope> a perfect mix
19:50 <Cepheid> Whereas everyone else is insane, because they misinterpreted his will, or used the Emperor and his inability to communicate with people as a tool to control humanity.
19:51 <LibrarianofHope> now i really want to write a fic about this
19:52 <Cepheid> If I ever improbably do something world-changing, I am demanding that my remains be burned to ashes such that no one could ever prop me up and use me as a tool. And just to make sure, the ashes will then summarily be burned into non-existence, or mixed into acid, so that as my last act of defiance against stupidity, I can be part of the compound that melts the head of an idiot who tries to commit attrocities in my name.
19:53 <LibrarianofHope> can i use that in my stories somewhere?

20:39 * Cepheid starts cleanup, collecting bits and pieces to discard.
20:51 <Cepheid> So that's horrifying.
20:51 <Cepheid> My old speaker set had, for whatever reason, a converter adapter attached to it, to convert from an EU-style plug to that of North America styles.
20:51 <Cepheid> Now, this is nothing big, really.
20:51 <Cepheid> Except when I unplogged the adapter from the power bar..
20:52 <Cepheid> One of the prongs popped out of the adapter, and is now stuck in my power bar.
20:52 <Cepheid> I'm gonna unplug it, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then remove it.
20:52 <Cepheid> I don't know if the thing holds a charge or not, and I'd rather not take the chance it does.
20:57 <Cepheid> In any case, once it discharges, I'll rip the prong out. Not sure if I want to keep using the bar, though.
