00:07 <Cepheid> Welcome back, Dragon of Dreams.
00:15 <ADragonDreaming> lello
00:16 <Cepheid> Give me a yell if and when you want to hunt tonight. I'm only writing some extremely monotonous code.
00:17 <ADragonDreaming> D&D got rescheduled to Wednesdays, so that will be happening at 8 pm. Probably won't be hunting tonight.
00:18 <Cepheid> No problem then.
00:18 * Ali sort of wants to mess with Factorio .16 one last time before the changes but eh, she's finding it hard to get motivated.
00:25 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I need a break from this. o3o
00:26 * Cepheid is basically doing lots of "if (...) { ... }" checks to verify the json input. Yes, he's gonna be the only one who uses the danged program, probably, but can't account for stupidity on my part.
00:27 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming, I'm gonna go try spiky boi again and advance the story a bit. That alright with you?
00:27 <ADragonDreaming> sure

00:43 <Cepheid> Hum, finally got me after so many tries, with that.
00:44 <ADragonDreaming> quest fail?
00:45 <Cepheid> ... I think he's limping.
00:47 <Cepheid> That is definitely limping.
00:47 <ADragonDreaming> the multiplayer health boost is designed around four PCs, so that doesn't surprise me much if it's true.
00:47 <Cepheid> Yep, got to level 3, and it's skulls.
00:47 <ADragonDreaming> hrar?
00:51 <Cepheid> Got ya!
00:52 <Cepheid> Geezus though, near the end he starts deflecting even blue sharpness.
00:54 <Cepheid> Mmm. Elder Dragon Blood. High Commendations.
00:55 <Cepheid> Oh, by the way.
00:55 <Cepheid> I killed Nergigante by targeting his weakspot. The extremely critical life-giving neural-blood connector in the tip of the tail.
00:55 <Cepheid> I literally struck the tip of the tail for 156 damage and he dropped dead.
01:01 <ADragonDreaming> hahaha nice

01:36 <ADragonDreaming> oh?
01:39 <Cepheid> More of those investigations by searching for specific, not-that-common spots in the field.
01:39 <Cepheid> The headpiece gives Scoutfly Range Up and Scholar.
01:39 <Cepheid> The former increases the range at which you detect stuff with scoutflies. The latter increases the amount of research you get.
01:45 <ADragonDreaming> AH
01:46 <Cepheid> That said, anything you've found prior to completing Nergigante *IS* counted.
01:46 <Cepheid> I started off with about 25% to 40% research done on the targets.

02:13 <ADragonDreaming> Well done
02:13 <Cepheid> So the way tempered quests work is that you find tracks of a tempered monster. The more you collect, the greater the chance you'll get an investigation to hunt a tempered monster.
02:13 <Cepheid> Which results in purple-class items, apparently.
02:14 <Cepheid> I also got something called a streamstone shard.
02:14 <Cepheid> Hmm.
02:15 <Cepheid> It's used in something called First Wyverian Ritual.
02:17 <Cepheid> Ah, they're used in creating decorations.
02:17 <Cepheid> It results in random decorations.
02:19 <Cepheid> Hmm, does it result in new gear, I wonder..
02:26 *** VinylScratch is now known as SunsetShimmer_
02:40 * Cepheid gets a resource center request to turn in an Uragaan Scute. "Hmm, I think I have one in my bag, let me check old man." Cepheid opens the bag, and a pile of Uragaan Scutes just spontaneously explode out of the bag and land in a pile atop him. "... Ah, you're lucky, I just so happened to have one on hand."

05:52 <ADragonDreaming> I disagree with that last line.
05:53 <ADragonDreaming> Given the scenario, going to Home Depot for the hose is necessary.
05:53 <Schism> Ostensibly. But sometimes you have to ask yourself, 'is this necessary? can't I just borrow a neighbor's hose instead?'
05:53 <ADragonDreaming> It should be "don't try to borrow the EZPass" because that's the step where it's just a matter of doing the thing.
05:54 <ADragonDreaming> Borrowing the neighbor's things was already addressed.
05:54 <Schism> A hose is a different matter than, say, an EZPass.
05:54 <ADragonDreaming> true, but there could just as well be an embargo on borrowing in general.
05:54 <ADragonDreaming> and at some point that hose needs fixing.
05:55 <ADragonDreaming> just pay the dang toll and take care of the problem, then wax your car.
05:55 <Schism> True enough.

10:00 <ConfusionRift> Oh, it just shut off with no warning?
10:00 <Schism> Aye.
10:00 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, might be an overheat.
10:00 <Schism> That's what I'm thinking. That's usually what sanity dictates.
10:01 <ConfusionRift> If there was some sort of error, that would be different.
10:01 <ConfusionRift> BUT, it could also be the PSU.
10:02 <ConfusionRift> No electronic smell?
10:02 <Schism> Nah, I'd KNOW if it were burnt capacitor.
10:02 <Schism> Anyway, a quick dusting and things should be a bit better.
10:03 <ConfusionRift> Especially a good blow on the heat sink and PSU.
10:03 <Schism> A good blow -in- the heatsink.
10:04 <Schism> Also washed, not blew on, my PSU case filter.

17:09 <Vulpor> Hey everyone
17:09 <Vulpor> So it has happened
17:10 <Vulpor> the running man is now coming true
17:11 <ADragonHoarding> oh?
17:12 <Vulpor> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvuJqh6eJQ0
17:12 <Vulpor> Who loves you and who do you love?!
17:16 <Vulpor> Cant wait to see Dynamo lol
17:35 <Cepheid> SunsetShimmer_, you there?
17:35 * Finwe boops Schism with 1 kg of treacle.
17:36 *** Quits: Vulpor (Vulpor@Pony-lkvpl9.254-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
17:36 * Schism considers, then makes gingerbread cookies from it.
17:45 <Cepheid> So, bascially what I wanted to tell Sunset was that someone created a graphics replacement mod for RE2 Remake.
17:45 <Cepheid> It replaces Mr. X in his favourite trenchcoat and fedora, with Mr. X in his favourite thong.
17:47 <Schism> You know, I can imagine that being a very popular mod.
17:47 <Schism> If zombie horror isn't enough for you, how about the existential, brain-bleach-guzzling type?
17:49 <Cepheid> I really should have just bought the PC version of the game. Find a way to use a keyboard and mouse from the couch so my mother could watch.
17:50 <Schism> Does she like watching you play through horror games that much?
17:51 <Cepheid> Yes.
17:51 <Schism> You played any of the Silent Hill series with her watchin'?
17:51 <Cepheid> She actually likes watching me play games in general.
17:51 <Cepheid> And yes, I have.
17:51 <Schism> Ah, I see. Nice. o3o
17:51 <Cepheid> She likes watching me more because she's unable to play the games herself.
17:52 <Cepheid> She has good eyesight for them, that I can confirm.
17:52 <Cepheid> Her eyes pick out details I consistently miss, especially when turning the view quickly and such.
17:52 <Schism> That does make sense. Hmm, just not coordinated enough for said games?
17:52 <Cepheid> Can't count the number of times she's picked out an item, critical or not, in RE2 Remake this time around.
17:52 <Schism> (With that specific level of coordination that they require, that is.)
17:52 <Cepheid> Not coordinated enough, and reflexes aren't good.
17:52 <Cepheid> I could train her to play the games, but it'd take time.
17:53 * Starlight_Glimmer curls up on Finwe's back
17:53 <Schism> Yah, and that'd be an exercise in frustration for the both of you.
17:53 <Cepheid> I'd have to start with simple games.
17:54 <Cepheid> But as it is, she has trouble grasping the idea of holding down the run button in Mario games.
17:54 <Schism> Mmm.
17:54 <Cepheid> She could definitely improve, though, if I showed her, probably.
17:54 <Cepheid> But the games she'd have to play would have to be easy to start with, and build up from there.
17:55 <Cepheid> And given she likes watching me, I imagine she'd be the gamer type over time.
17:55 <Cepheid> ... Truth told, I should probably have tried while she was confined to a chair for several months.
17:57 <Schism> Perhaps so, if nothing else as a distraction.

18:00 <Cepheid> That said, teaching her controls would have worked better by starting with what she knew best.
18:00 <Cepheid> I'd need one of them USB NES controllers.
18:01 <Schism> Hmm. I suggest a better idea.
18:02 <Cepheid> Oh?
18:02 <Schism> https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Classical-Joystick-Buttons-Computer/dp/B078Y8M8BR
18:02 <Schism> Perhaps not that exact model, of course, but something similar might work.
18:04 <Cepheid> I... No.
18:04 <Schism> Aw, alright. XD
18:04 <Cepheid> Although..
18:04 <Cepheid> It would teach her the idea of having fingers on more than one button.
18:05 <Schism> Heck, there were arcade-with-joystick versions of most of the big NES games anyway.
18:06 <Schism> Well, a sizeable number at least.
18:06 <Cepheid> Really do need to pick up a decent SoC or SBC for NES emulation.

18:07 <Cepheid> Man, Zophar's still alive?
18:07 <Schism> Sure is.
18:08 <Schism> Downloaded the latest version of SNES9X from there just a few days ago.
18:08 * Ali flops on Cepheid and Schism. "Pew Pew firing lemons."
18:09 <Schism> Why are you shooting bad slash fanfiction at the sky?
18:09 <Cepheid> ...
18:09 <DashedRainbows> good morning
18:09 * DashedRainbows groans
18:09 <Cepheid> Man, I haven't heard that definition of "lemon" in over a decade.
18:09 * Ali bonks Schism with them. "Wrong lemons."
18:10 <Schism> Got my finger on the pulse of pop culture, I do.
18:10 <DashedRainbows> I'm not even over my cold and I got fever 3 weeks in
18:10 <Schism> Augh.
18:10 <Ali> Colds shouldn't last that long
18:11 <DashedRainbows> immunosupressantns + cold is bad
18:11 <Schism> Ah, yup.
18:11 <Schism> I hate to ask, but how long is the threat of immunorejection?
18:11 <DashedRainbows> forever
18:12 <Schism> Well... beats dying, but damn.
18:13 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, apparently I have a severe dry skin case on my head.
18:13 <Cepheid> That or bites.
18:13 <Cepheid> Got a small bump and a slightly larger bump below it. Doesn't hurt, just a bit itchy and well, bumps.
18:15 * Cepheid reviews all the changes to C# from version 7.0 onwards.
18:16 <Schism> Eh, it's winter, dry air does these things.
18:16 <Cepheid> Plus I don't wear a hat on my bald head.
18:16 <Cepheid> So exposed skin to cold temps.
18:16 <Cepheid> I think somewhere along the way to school next week, I'll stop by a store and pick up a cheap toque.
18:18 <Cepheid> Might need a change of bar soap, too. Seems the current stuff is drying my skin out right now.
18:19 <Schism> What type've you been using?
18:19 * Schism listens to the sound of the neighbors chipping away at sidewalk ice.
18:19 <Cepheid> Dove, unscented.
18:19 <Cepheid> I wish I had an ice pick for chipping away at ice, myself.
18:20 <Cepheid> My dad's using excessive quantities of sand and salt on the ice patch outside our front door, but it isn't working.
18:20 <Cepheid> I need either a stick with a sharp point, an ice pick, or a stick with a metal prong attached to the tip.
18:20 <Schism> Heh, walking outside just a bit ago, I could not get into the bus stop, because the sidewalk beneath it was completely frozen.
18:21 <Cepheid> My plan is to go to the furthest reaches of the ice, then chip at it by slamming the tool into the ice to A) Put a crack in the ice, and B) Spread the small piece of ice away from the larger mass.
18:21 <Cepheid> Keep doing this, and the ice can be removed.
18:21 <Schism> That's how it usually goes, yeah.
18:21 <Cepheid> It'd take a bit of time, but it's safer than the alternative.
18:21 <Cepheid> And our front porch is *REALLY* bad about it.
18:21 <Cepheid> The pathway to the driveway slopes inwards towards the house.
18:21 <Schism> It gets exactly 0 hours of sun, I take it.
18:21 <Cepheid> Oh, no.
18:22 <Cepheid> It gets plenty of sun.
18:22 <Schism> Or one or two, just enough for the sun to melt a few things...
18:22 <Cepheid> That's the problem.
18:22 <Schism> Ah.
18:22 <Cepheid> Snow piles up on the path, then the next day, sun comes out.
18:22 <Cepheid> Snow melts, especially if it's now above 0 or near it.
18:22 <Schism> Ah.
18:22 <Cepheid> Then the next night comes..
18:22 <Schism> And you can't get out of the driveway without someone there to push.
18:22 <Cepheid> Temperature plummets, and the melted snow, now water, freezes into a thick chunk of ice.
18:23 <Cepheid> Further ice builds up, dripping from the roofing above the front cement slab.
18:23 <Cepheid> Which creates a "hump" over the existing ice that builds up over time.
18:23 <Cepheid> Which basically means you are now stepping down onto a small hump of ice.
18:23 <Cepheid> Perfect way to just slip, fall back, and hit your head on cement.
18:24 <Cepheid> If it wasn't for the fact that carrying a pick might be seen as a weapon, I'd pick one up on the way to or back from school, but I Have no where on my person to put it away so that people don't see it and freak out.
18:24 <Cepheid> My mother's concerned about my wellbeing, and my dad half-asses the ice problem.
18:24 <Cepheid> As a result, it's up to me to figure out a way to just break up the ice.
18:25 <Cepheid> I don't get my dad, honestly. He does an excellent job shoveling snow to clear it away.
18:25 <Cepheid> But when it comes to ice? He doesn't really try.
18:25 <Cepheid> Yeah, sure, we got gravel and sand to toss onto it, which gives some grip, but that stuff just ends up either getting embedded so far into the ice that it's ineffective, or it gets covered in water and frozen into the ice.
18:26 <Schism> Back in Ohio, when we had a driveway, I would take to grabbing a sledgehammer.
18:26 <Cepheid> Mmm.
18:26 <Cepheid> That is a viable solution, a hammer.
18:27 <Schism> Not very often, and not the over-the-back swing, but lifting it and just pounding it onto the ice worked wonders.
18:27 <Cepheid> Not the head, but with the claw.
18:27 <Schism> Erm, for lifting, sure. Use the head for cracking the ice, use the claw for lifting.
18:28 <Cepheid> You sure? You want a thin edge or point to initially pierce the ice and create a crack and/or force movement of the ice.
18:30 <Schism> Oh, slamming it works well to send shockwaves through the ice, which as a crystalline formation will break up at certain points.
18:30 <Schism> Fracture points, as it were.
18:30 <Schism> Problem is, if the ice has seeped into cracks of the driveway itself, that can be rather destructive to the underlying surface.
18:32 <Schism> So I'm not going to suggest it /all/ the time, but if your driveway is covered in 2cm of glaze, it might be time to break out the steel head.
18:36 <Cepheid> True.
18:36 <Cepheid> In this case, it's a brick pathway, and the driveway itself is generally fine.
18:36 <Schism> Oh, hahaha wow. Okay, so, Trudeau's getting a bad rap from the Globe and Mail regarding his handling of the SNC-Lavalin situation. Trudeau received a letter from the corporation.
18:36 <Schism> Oh, BRICK. Yeah.
18:37 <Schism> While I'm not going to argue that Trudeau's doing a completely pants job in many ways, this was his response to that letter. https://twitter.com/CochraneCBC/status/1098648476697513986
18:37 <Cepheid> Arguably, the government, Trudeau or not, is pretty much functioning as I expect it to.
18:38 <Cepheid> It's Ford that's more the problem for me.
18:38 <Schism> Well, that's provincial, not federal... but yeah.
18:38 <Cepheid> Indeed.
18:38 <Cepheid> There's problems at all level of the government.
18:38 <Cepheid> The more immediate concerns for me though are provincial.
18:40 <Schism> I do like Trudeau's response. "Yes, yes, we've received your letter of ostensible blackmail and/or threats. Thank you for your consideration and we will be CC'ing this to the appropriate parties."
18:40 <Schism> In any event, Ford needs to just... go away.
18:40 <Cepheid> Yes.

19:07 <Cepheid> Things I worry about that, as far as I am aware, are not actually a problem: 1) Loudness of headphones. I have my headphones up pretty loud, and my mother, with her crazy-good hearing, can't hear anything, so that's good. 2) How much space I take up.
19:07 <Cepheid> 3) Getting in people's way.
19:13 <Schism> Not enough people worry about how much space they take up, or about getting in others' ways. The two are connected, because we tend to consider our own personal space bubble to be the same as others'.
19:15 <Cepheid> My personal bubble tends to be relatively small.
19:15 <Schism> Then again, I might be overly touchy in that regard, as I prefer a full foot of space between myself and the next person waiting for the bus.
19:15 <Cepheid> It would take a person rubbing themselves up against me or something to start bothering me.
19:15 <Cepheid> Otherwise, so long as I'm not being touched by someone directly(Bags and such are fine), I'm good.
19:16 <Cepheid> That said, I know how other people are with their personal bubbles.
19:16 <Schism> Though, my 'comfort zone'... more like 3 feet. But yeah, different we are.
19:16 <Cepheid> I also know about the issues of stuff like people playing music loudly on busses, on earbuds, headphones or neither(That is, using phone speaker).
19:16 <Cepheid> But I have no judge of how loud the volume is, due to my hearing issues.
19:17 <Cepheid> What sounds quiet to me might be loud for someone else.
19:17 *** Ali is now known as Ali|AFK
19:17 <Schism> Don't you use noise-cancelling headphones anyway in such circumstances?
19:17 <Cepheid> I've stopped using such headphones.
19:18 <Cepheid> Most headphones don't breathe well, and the interior of my ears starts to heat up, along with some of the fleshy bits on the outside of my skull.
19:18 <Schism> Ah, yeah...
19:18 <Schism> Most earbuds tend to be... hm. Lossy, anyway.
19:18 <Cepheid> And the more my head heats up, the worse my sinuses get. I'm not sure exactly if it's the temperature or the lack of oxygen.
19:18 <Schism> Ears radiate heat, anyway, so yeah.
19:18 <Cepheid> Since covering your ears also restricts the airflow.
19:19 <Schism> What of regular headphones?
19:19 <Schism> Or back-of-the-head varieties.
19:21 <Cepheid> I'm using a pair of on-ear can headphones, they work okay. I still overheat over time, but more slowly than usual.
19:21 <Cepheid> Bone conducting headphones would be the best option.
19:23 <Cepheid> They work by inducing vibration in the skull, rather than sending waves down the ear canal.
19:24 <Schism> Yeah, but you'll always hear everyone else very differently than the rest of the world.
19:25 <Schism> After all, bone conduction is how we hear ourselves, and ... well, how you hear yourself /on-air/ is very different from how you hear yourself in-person.
19:28 <Cepheid> It's actually not that different sounding.
19:28 <Cepheid> Your voice is definitely an example of where it's different, but it's a special case.
19:28 <Cepheid> I've used bone-conduction vs standard cans.
19:28 <Cepheid> They sound roughly the same. The difference is actually in the volume.
19:28 <Cepheid> And the sensation.
19:30 <Cepheid> Basically, bone-conduction is loud.
19:31 <Cepheid> And you feel the vibration of the sound.
19:31 <Cepheid> Since in order for it to work, the audio pieces have to be pressed up hard against your skull.
19:32 <Cepheid> If you've ever gotten a hearing test done, you know just how much pressure is needed, as all such tests involve a bone conduction test by applying a single-earpiece headset that applies a small speaker against the back of your skull with a lot of pressure.
19:33 <ADragonDreaming> the hearing tests I remember taking were done with a dual-earpiece noise-cancelling headset.
19:34 <Schism> High, or low?
19:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, those are part of it.
19:34 <Cepheid> They do a bunch of different tests.
19:34 <ADragonDreaming> this, basically: https://cdn.24.co.za/files/Cms/General/d/4575/7f4d133ef43742c59766e179a7c5e749.png
19:34 <Cepheid> They test your ability to pick out sounds in noisy environments, and all sorts of fun.
19:34 <Schism> Yup, that's how my hearing tests worked.
19:34 <Cepheid> Problem is, the tests are broken in my opinion.
19:34 <ADragonDreaming> we didn't get the bone conduction thing
19:34 <Cepheid> Ah, you're missing out. It's creepy.
19:35 <Cepheid> It bypasses the eardrum, so any issues with noise involving the eardrum or the collection of bones that go to the cochlea aren't involved.
19:36 <Cepheid> Basically, unlike normal headphones, conduction headphones work by applying a speaker or some vibrating device directly to the skull.
19:36 <Cepheid> The biggest issue with them would probably be that the pressures involved would result in a bit of pain after a while.
19:36 <Schism> Like one's vocal chords, through a mixture of bone and flesh.
19:36 * Schism coughs.
19:37 <Cepheid> The issue with vocal chords is their distance to the cochlea.
19:37 <Cepheid> It's presumably that distance and everything in between that causes the change.
19:37 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the spot at which these headphones is applied is to the back of the skull, just behind the ear.
19:37 <Cepheid> The shorter distance, and the lack of bodily fluids between the point of contact with the head and the skull is minimal.
19:38 <Cepheid> It's just a bit of skin and a thin layer of blood vessels and such.
19:38 <Cepheid> Then a direct line from that point along your skull to the ear.
19:38 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-ss8.e7q.56.172.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
19:38 <Cepheid> Conduction is a wierd thing. Most people don't even notice it.
19:39 <Cepheid> And most aren't even aware of the idea, because it involves physics.
19:39 <Cepheid> Sound travels through mediums, like water, steel, cement and such.
19:40 <Cepheid> Structurally, the more solid or incompressible the medium, the faster it travels.
19:41 <Cepheid> It doesn't even need to be applied directly to the medium in question, either.
19:41 <Cepheid> If a soundwave is strong enough and hits the medium, the medium will vibrate as a result.
19:42 <Cepheid> It is this detail that's critical to me. It's why noise canceling, over-the-ear headphones, and the like aren't 100% effective.
19:42 <Cepheid> Or earplugs.
19:43 * Schism nods. :<
19:44 <Schism> "Seriously? Any hacker with half a brain groks how to break THIS shield. It focuses on preventing attacks as a point defense. Create a ring of repetitive point attacks..."
19:44 <Cepheid> I actually wonder if the major hearing issue I have with my right ear is conductive or cochlear.
19:44 <Cepheid> You know, the one where my right ear stops functioning and just passes static noise to my brain.
19:45 <Schism> Huh...
19:45 <Cepheid> I know that the bones in that ear were damaged from the infection.
19:45 <Cepheid> The infection was eating away at the bone.
19:45 <Schism> Probably... the latter, then. eghhh.
19:45 <Cepheid> I had surgery to clean off the remaining infection from the bone that was left over.
19:46 <Cepheid> And given that it was caustic/eating away at the mastoid, it likely did the same to the string of bones from the eardrum to the cochlea.
19:46 <Cepheid> In which case, the noise I hear when my right ear stops functioning could be like, a temporary disconnect or something.
19:47 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, if it's cochlear, then bone-conduction headphones won't work either.
19:47 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNf9nzvnd1k *Tests this with right ear. Presses headphone up to test the audio.*
19:48 <Cepheid> I start "feeling" something at 30hz.
19:49 <Schism> I seem to lose a lot of modulation in my right ear throughout.
19:50 <Schism> At least under normal frequencies.
19:50 <Cepheid> Around 6,500hz, the volume drops considerably for me.
19:50 <Cepheid> So I have loss there, probably. Unless the video is damaged.
19:50 <Cepheid> Same at 9100hz.
19:50 <Schism> Same. At 14.5KHz, it becomes almost imperceptible.
19:51 <Cepheid> 10,000-12,000 I am nearly deaf to.
19:51 <Cepheid> Perception stops at 12,000+
19:51 <Schism> Not completely, though, I still get a sound at 17KHz.
19:51 <Cepheid> left ear...
19:51 <Cepheid> Starts at 40hz.
19:52 <Schism> 17.1Khz seems to be my limit, which is interesting.
19:54 <Cepheid> No issues up to 12,500 then I hear nothing.
19:54 <Cepheid> Hum. What's the range of these headphones, actually?
19:55 <Cepheid> 12-24,000hz.
19:55 <Cepheid> So, if my ears were working, I should be hearing something above 12kHz.
19:56 <Cepheid> But then, I know they aren't working right.
19:56 <Cepheid> So it's not like, a real concern.
19:56 <Cepheid> Plus, I'm not sure there's much audio above 12k anyways.
19:57 <Cepheid> Hmm.
20:05 <Cepheid> I should go take my shower.
20:05 <Cepheid> And then get to work on stuffs.
20:19 <Cepheid> So, thoughts on something. When I shave, my breathing and nose gets better. Is it possible that one can be allergic to their own hair?
20:19 <Schism> No... but it's quite plausible that certain particulates could become trapped in your facial hair.
20:20 <Cepheid> True.
20:22 <Schism> Darnit, Cephy. At some point you should play CrossCode too. :<
20:22 <Schism> (Apropos of nothing.)
20:23 <Cepheid> I should, yes.
20:25 * Schism also breathes out an 'ow'.
20:25 <Schism> Electric razor with wet face = quite a few minute cuts which nonetheless register as wounds.
20:26 <Cepheid> I haven't shaved yet, I was going to but forgot to utilize the trimmer to get it all trimmed down. Tomorrow.
20:26 <Schism> The longer you put it off, the worse it'll be.
20:26 <Cepheid> Since using razor blades on long hair doesn't necessarily work well.
20:26 <Cepheid> Oh, nah.
20:26 <Cepheid> I just use a pair of hair trimmers, the kind you find at barbershops these days, without any sort of plastic cover.
20:26 <Schism> You know that absurd MacCullay Culkin scene where he splashed aftershave on his face, then screamed, despite having no cuts whatsoever?
20:26 <Cepheid> Apply directly to the scalp, chin, etc.
20:27 <Cepheid> Yes. I don't use aftershave.
20:27 <Cepheid> Funny thing, it'd probably be fine on my scalp after shaving.
20:27 <Cepheid> The scalp is surprisingly resilient to cuts from razor blades, unlike the skin on the chin and cheeks.
20:27 <Schism> Yeah, though when you finally /do/ get a head injury...
20:27 <Cepheid> Every time I have cut myself, it was less a cut and more I accidentally scalped myself a slight bit.
20:28 <Cepheid> And in the last three or four years, that only happened twice.
20:29 <Cepheid> Really, the most dangerous part on my head to shave is right behind my right ear.
20:29 <Cepheid> I have a bumpy scar there from when they cleaned the ear.
20:29 <Cepheid> As a result, if I'm not careful I'll cut it.
20:31 <Schism> Heh, I ever shown you my right hand? Honest question, you might appreciate the sight.
20:31 <Schism> Not that I'll ever shave my hand, of course.
20:32 <Cepheid> No, but I'm assuming it's like mine.
20:32 <Cepheid> Covered in hair.
20:33 <Schism> Noooot quite.
20:33 <Cepheid> My entire dad's side of the family is a hairy bunch.
20:33 <Cepheid> Hair on the chest, belly, back, arms(upper and lower), hands, fingers, legs(upper and lower), feet..
20:33 <Cepheid> Everywhere except the head.
20:36 <Schism> On second thought.
20:36 <Schism> This camera is absolutely terrible, and my hand is nowhere near as noticible when it's in actual lighting.
20:36 <Schism> I mean, I can show the pic, but it looks particularly bad in this light. On the other hand, if you want to show off a horror pic...
20:38 <Schism> ... or maybe it's just my phone being a jerk.
20:39 <Schism> Here, have a mildly ugly hand scar. https://imgur.com/a/PdjSGGa
20:39 <Cepheid> Turn the flash on?
20:39 <Cepheid> Eh. I've seen worse scars, man.
20:39 <Schism> Yeah, it just looked INFLAMED when the phone's camera was on it.
20:39 <Cepheid> Had a classmate who had this massive, weird-looking scar that went from the appendix up to his left nipple.
20:40 <Schism> Like, bright, vivid red. Kind of amazing.
20:40 <Schism> Huh. o.o
20:40 <Cepheid> Looked like someone got him with a massive blade across the chest.
20:40 <Schism> Did he ever share the cause?
20:40 <Cepheid> No.
20:40 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the only scars I have are...
20:40 <Schism> Probably for the best.
20:40 <Cepheid> One on the palm of my right hand, from having a rock jammed into it so far that it nearly pierced my hand completely..
20:40 <Schism> I mean, when it turns out your little sister cut you with a kitchen knife, that's kinda lame, but a scar with no discernable cause... well.
20:41 <Schism> Also, you win on the scar game, we know this.
20:41 <Cepheid> Not really.
20:41 <Cepheid> Mine are all simple, small.
20:42 <Schism> Yeah, but it's the stories that win.
20:42 <Cepheid> The above permanent scar, a set of three parallel lines on my lower right arm, caused by Simba. Scar from appendectomy. Scar from mastoid cleaning of my right ear.
20:42 <Cepheid> That's pretty much about it.
20:42 <Schism> You were mauled by a ferocious wildcat.
20:42 <Schism> Me, I got my hand scar from a broomstick.
20:42 <Cepheid> Through the hand?
20:42 <Schism> Across.
20:42 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah, that'd explain why it healed that way.
20:43 <Schism> Yeah, multiple tendons severed.
20:43 <Cepheid> For some reason, piercing scars heal differently from scars that are drawn out, scraped across the area.
20:45 <Schism> Mnyrem. And that's why many piercing scars have a higher rate of survival than slashing ones.
20:45 <Schism> wounds*

20:52 <Cepheid> Piercing can be damaging, though.
20:52 <Cepheid> It allows damaging of internal organs.
20:52 <Cepheid> Which itself can be fatal.
20:55 <Cepheid> Fun fun.
20:55 <Cepheid> So, my laptop, I figured out it's not locking up when the display goes into standby. Well, it is, but it's a recoverable softlock.
20:55 <Cepheid> I just have to switch to a terminal interface, then back to X.
20:55 <Cepheid> Problem is, I can't stop it from doing this.
20:55 <Cepheid> It goes into standby, even when it's configured to NOT GO INTO STANDBY.

21:24 * Cepheid continues writing validater/converter for Tiled JSON files to his own textbased file. Would just use the JSON file, but it includes a bunch of irrelevant data he doesn't need. o3o
21:24 <Cepheid> 'Course, I can also just remove the fields using the tool, then re-export all the data to a new file, then use the json data.

21:36 <Cepheid> That may actually be the best approach, since adding fields to a JSON object doesn't impair the functionality of the software. Meanwhile, changes to a plaintext file format of my own design will.
21:36 <Cepheid> So, validate all the information, then either strip the irrelevant information, or create a new layout to use.
21:38 <Cepheid> Right now, only point/tile objects are supported. Tile objects will be interactive items. Point objects will be enemies.
21:39 <Cepheid> I'll have to modify the JSON a bit in order to account for trigger types, scripts, etc. I also need to decide on a script language to use..

22:18 <Cepheid> And that there is another example of the meds doing their work.
22:18 <Cepheid> Without the meds, I'd be having a breakdown.
22:20 <Cepheid> Apparently I cannot run a VM using 8GB of RAM alongside MHWorld.

23:38 <Cepheid> Hallo, ADragonDreaming.
23:38 <ADragonDreaming> hi
23:41 <Cepheid> So, package was delivered to wrong address. Dad found where it was delivered to, they handed it over no problem with proof.
23:41 <ADragonDreaming> which package is this?
23:41 <Cepheid> Got it now, so I'ma go install it right quick. Question of the evening though is are you still interested in taking out Nergi by yourself?
23:42 <Cepheid> USB 3.0 front panel. My case has no front-panel USB3 slots.
23:42 <ADragonDreaming> ah
23:42 <Cepheid> ANd it's a pain in the ass to reach towards the back.
23:42 <Cepheid> Also help the wireless devices of mine fare better.
23:43 <Cepheid> And charging. Anyways, back in a few minutes.

23:57 <Cepheid> 4 usb3, 2 usb2.
