02:57 <Cepheid> Potential Thinking. 70x6, 83.3 accuracy, 4.0 firing rate, 2.7 reload speed, 10 magazine size, 63.9 burn damage/sec, ignite chance 8%. Has -13% weapon accuracy and -20% weapon recoil reduction. Sustained fire increases accuracy. Hyperion weapon.

02:59 <Cepheid> Rapid Infinity. 58 damage. 89.6 Accuracy(More or less pointless, it goes back and forth in a horizontal motion with each shot), 9 fire rate, 1.7 reload speed(Useless due to it's nature), and a magazine size of 1.

09:16 <RazorSharpFang> I want to learn how to tie rope and knots for like, fastening, binding and stuffs.
09:20 <Schism> While I'm loathe to suggest the Scouts for many reasons, they do have several useful guides for such work.
09:20 <Schism> Here's a start. https://scoutingmagazine.org/2017/04/tie-essential-scouting-knots/
09:20 <RazorSharpFang> Why the loathe?
09:21 <Schism> The BSA and affiliated organizations have a few social views of which I'm not a fan.
09:22 <RazorSharpFang> They're not literally nazis, white-nationalist/supremacist nor ML(M)s, ancoms or the like, right?
09:23 <Schism> That's... a difficult question, and it varies from troop to troop. The organization as a whole tends to be rooted in a number of conservative policies, and slow to change, as well as having a surprisingly religious bent.
09:24 <RazorSharpFang> You should be able to easily tell the difference between conservatism and racial supremacists.
09:24 <Schism> True. It's not racially supremecist - not anymore, anyway.
09:25 * Finwe returns from a run of approximately 7 kilometres.
09:25 <Schism> But there are several ties to fascism and paramilitary organizations which make it a bit concerning, on consideration. That's NOT to say I don't think the organization has the best interests of its members at heart, I just diverge on my assessment of those interests.
09:26 <RazorSharpFang> I have a pretty low standard of unacceptable myself, as long as they're not supremacist and not radical revolutionary, they're "okay enough"
09:27 <Schism> Also, different Scouting organizations around the world are very different. The BSA is not, for example, representative of the Scouts in Canada, Australia, the UK, et cetera.
09:27 <Finwe> Schism: Murderponies? Should it not be droveponies, stringponies, studponies or teamponies?
09:28 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VymKTBpbJx0
09:28 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

09:28 <Finwe> s/\+/?/
09:29 <RazorSharpFang> Twilight is busy trying to figure out how to burn down a crystal tree-castle.
09:29 <Finwe> :3
09:32 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about DuckTales - Meeting The Kelpies (Clip)
09:35 <Finwe> Schism: This is the modern DuckTales, eenope?
09:36 <Schism> It is indeed.
09:36 <Finwe> The classical DuckTales, if I remember correctly, looked a bit more, umm, classical.
09:37 <Schism> I dunno, the modern one has a four-colour sort of stippling style to its animation which lends it a closer similarity to the old Don Rosa comics.
09:38 <Schism> How well that works is a matter of some debate, of course.
09:49 <RazorSharpFang> A debate? In this day and age? How uncivilised. These days we settle all disputes through violence on the streets. :3
09:56 * ConfusionRift throws the first molotov. "Oh wait... there's no debate." It bursts somewhere. "Whoops."
10:12 <Finwe> The Molotov coctail is a Finnish invention. o3o
10:13 <Finwe> It was used in WW2 to destroy Soviet tanks by throwing the coctail into the radiator.
10:14 <Finwe> If the fire spread from the engine compartment, it often led to ammunition explosion.
10:15 <Finwe> If not, it still disabled the mobility.
10:16 <ConfusionRift> Not to mention the flames could still suffocate whoever is inside the vehicle.
10:19 <Finwe> https://drawingdatabase.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/t-34-obr40-3.png
10:20 <Finwe> The engine compartment is sealed off the fighting compartment, but I don't know whether the sealing was airtight.
10:20 <Finwe> If not, that would also have been the case.
10:21 <ConfusionRift> To my understanding, many of the older war tanks didn't do well in sealing. Then again, those cocktails were fuel, which could easily spread around the area of impact.
10:26 * Schism learns that there is a specific term for drawing a tsumo for the replacement tile after completing a kan. Neat. o3o

19:13 <Cepheid> I dunno Sunset. Stress, depression, anger and the like. Blinds one to reason and common sense. I used to punch walls.
19:13 <Cepheid> I stopped after I broke my hand.
19:13 <SunsetShimmer> Some people do it because drunk or stupid
19:13 <Cepheid> I still want to do it to this day.
19:14 <Cepheid> It is a university. It is more likely caused by stress getting to the person.
19:14 <Cepheid> Especially as exams are coming up next weekend.
19:16 <Cepheid> I need a proper outlet for my boiling temper, still.
19:18 <ADragonDreaming> get a punching bag.
19:20 <Cepheid> Getting one held up by a support frame would be a better idea than the last one we had, so...
19:21 <Cepheid> The problem with any form of martial arts is the fact that I'd go full force, and I'm afraid of hurting someone. On top of that...
19:22 <Cepheid> I'd be inclined to not utilize any sort of protection except that for my head.
19:22 <ADragonDreaming> Part of training in martial arts is learning not to go full force, but mostly I just meant to get a punching bag for punching when angry.
19:24 <Cepheid> Yeah.
19:25 <Cepheid> I am away martial arts is about self-control. But as someone who is inherently a fighter who restrains himself, put in a situation where I can fight, I imagine my brain would take leave of my head for safety.
19:27 <Cepheid> It isn't just anger. I want to fight for the sake of it.
19:30 *** Joins: JonTheVGNerd_ (JonTheVGNer@Pony-ifa.2r2.42.24.IP)
19:31 <Cepheid> I'm a dangerous person, whether my actions and restraint suggest otherwise.
19:35 <Cepheid> Blah. Just walking to the train station exemplifies this. Because I am thinking of my temper, I felt the incredible urge to just run from the bus stop to the train, irregardless of the pain it'd cause me.
19:37 <Cepheid> Not just jogging either. Like, flat out, fastest I can run, no pacing. Just exhaust myself.
19:40 <Cepheid> I wonder if I really could learn to tame this through martial arts.
19:43 <Cepheid> ... There isn't any harm in trying, is there? I mean, outside of potentially being very sore depending on the art.
19:43 <ADragonDreaming> I doubt there would be.
19:43 <ADragonDreaming> I know little enough of it, but I'm pretty sure at the start you would not be sparring.
19:52 <Cepheid> Of course. But it is still straining. Especially during practice of anything defensive.
19:52 <ADragonDreaming> yep
19:52 <Cepheid> Also I have no idea what I have on my plate for lunch here.
19:52 <ADragonDreaming> is it food?
19:52 <Cepheid> I just grabbed what looked meaty and protein/carb filled to fill me up.
19:53 <Cepheid> Yes. It is food.
19:59 <Cepheid> It's pork with congealed fat still stuck to it.
20:00 <Cepheid> Convince me I should eat the fat. There must be some nutrition in it, but my body doesn't want me to eat it due to the texture.
20:00 <ADragonDreaming> eh
20:01 <ADragonDreaming> If you're asking me to convince to eat something you don't like the texture of
20:01 <ADragonDreaming> I would be a hypocrite to do so.
20:02 <ADragonDreaming> Texture johns are why I mostly stay away from the squash family.
20:02 <ADragonDreaming> Also sweet potatoes.
20:02 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
20:02 <Cepheid> I got other foods anywayz so it's moot. It is also all-you-can-eat so ill just grab something else if I want more.
20:11 <ADragonDreaming> mmm, sammich
20:17 <Cepheid> I could use some soup myself. Let's see whats on the menu today.
20:20 <Cepheid> Not a soup but may as well be just as good. Turkey chilli.
20:22 <ADragonDreaming> depending on the chili
20:22 <ADragonDreaming> might well be a soup
20:23 <Cepheid> This is true. This one is heavy on the broth.
20:24 <Cepheid> That said this chilli is terrible. Strangely sweet. Ah well, I'll eat it anyway.

20:44 <Cepheid> Question.
20:44 <Cepheid> Is it just me, or is a lot of bass in music stronger or louder in the right ear?
20:45 <Cepheid> Because I just swapped my headphones around, that is, the right headpiece on the left ear, left headpiece on right ear. The bass of the song literally just tripled.
20:50 <ADragonDreaming> depends on the mixing.
20:57 <Cepheid> Mmm.
20:58 <Cepheid> I wonder if it's possible for the human brain to learn how to balance the body through other cues. Got discussing the ear and various effects of infections on them with some people I talk to elsewhere.
20:59 <Cepheid> A common factor that those people have with inner-ear infections that I never dealt with, even when I have an inner-ear infection these days, is loss of balance.
20:59 <Schism> Vegetarian Whopper, you say...
20:59 <Cepheid> I apparently get the pain and pressure associated with them.
20:59 <Cepheid> Well, nowadays anyways.
20:59 <Cepheid> Used to be that I didn't.
20:59 <Cepheid> But the loss of balance is not something I have trouble with.
20:59 <Cepheid> Even in the most extreme cases where I feel like I should have a loss of balance.
21:00 <Cepheid> What exactly is the loss of balance *LIKE* anyways?
21:00 <Cepheid> Is it like, a constant feeling of being "off" or is it an actual visible phenomena, in that the person leans to one side, etc?

22:13 <Cepheid> The smaller these components get, the greater the likelihood of there being a flaw in them.
22:13 <Cepheid> They can't all be detected at the factory, either. As some of them may be issues that simply show themselves at a later date or time.

22:34 <ADragonDreaming> a wut?
22:34 <Cepheid> Which I assume causes crashing.
22:35 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: From the name, one would assume it's an avatar that causes other people's clients to crash.
22:35 <PinkieShy> A avatar that can send like probably 200,000 particles in unity and if pointed at a person.. it'll crash that person sometimes it'll just do the game and other times it can do the whole PC.

22:39 <Cepheid> It's only funny to them.

22:47 <Cepheid> I really should play a game of .17 sometime.
22:47 <Cepheid> Oh, ADragonDreaming. That, in a sideways manner, reminds me.
22:48 <ADragonDreaming> Nyarlathotep desires our presence?
22:48 <Cepheid> Nah.
22:49 <Ali> Apperently they nerfed the tank in .17, its MG gets no damage bonus
22:49 <ADragonDreaming> nerfed? It was already problematic to use.
22:49 <Ali> it used to be just enter tank
22:49 <Ali> Find bug base
22:49 <Ali> Troll it by running over everything
22:50 <ADragonDreaming> I always wound up getting surrounded and then torn apart by the biters.
22:50 <ADragonDreaming> er... not biters.
22:50 <ADragonDreaming> worms.
22:50 <Moongoodboy{K}> so, Grogar.
22:50 <ADragonDreaming> he is a goat.
22:50 <Ali> Worms are just as prone to being run over
22:50 <Moongoodboy{K}> A third G1 villain, eh?
22:50 <ADragonDreaming> I thought he had already shown up?
22:51 <Ali> ADragonDreaming, no
22:51 <Cepheid> Well, to be honest.
22:51 <Ali> Grogar was mentioned in an episode
22:51 <Cepheid> The tank's minigun was overpowered.
22:51 <Cepheid> It was more effective than freakin' cannon shells.
22:51 <ADragonDreaming> the main cannon is underpowered.
22:51 <Ali> Basic ammo sucks now
22:51 <ADragonDreaming> they should make the main cannon more effective, so it's useful.
22:51 <Ali> Can't even clear a small biter base
22:52 <Cepheid> So, the shells needed to be upped in strength, or the minigun weakened.
22:52 <ADragonDreaming> or both.
22:52 <Ali> And they weakened the minigun
22:52 <Cepheid> Oh.
22:52 <Cepheid> I thought MG was the minigun.
22:52 <Ali> It got nerfed in .17.0
22:52 <Ali> It no longer grants a damage buff
22:52 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's why I mentioned the above.
22:53 <Cepheid> That's what I figured when you said MG. The minigun.
22:53 * Ali nod nods
22:53 <Ali> I mean I don't hate .17, its just so different its taking a lot to get used to
22:53 <Cepheid> Basically, at the top tier, the minigun was overpowered for taking stuff out. Using shells seemed pointless.
22:53 <Cepheid> Except the nuclear option.
22:53 <Ali> Yeah I never used tank ammo
22:53 <Cepheid> Which itself has it's own problem.
22:54 <Ali> But the tank handles like a uhhh. whatever that doesn't handle well
22:54 <ADragonDreaming> Tank.
22:54 <Cepheid> A tanki?
22:54 <Cepheid> Er, tank*
22:54 <Cepheid> The tank, it handles like a tank. Who knew?
22:54 <Ali> I KNOW RIGHT
22:54 <Ali> And the new tech changes are interesting
22:54 * ADragonDreaming ponders looking for a mod to up cannon shell powere.
22:55 <Cepheid> I can just make one.
22:55 <Ali> Tank shells do get indefinately stronger
22:55 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
22:55 <Ali> But that's only due to SPACE SCIENCE
22:55 <Cepheid> Infinite techs.
22:55 <Ali> Also there's behemoth worms
22:55 <ADragonDreaming> I think I remember some kind of artillery gun?
22:55 <Cepheid> Yep.
22:55 <Ali> There's arty yes
22:55 <Cepheid> Yeah, artillery exists too.
22:56 <ADragonDreaming> I imagine artillery is the hard counter to behemoth worms.
22:56 <Ali> Arty a lot of people say is the best thing to use once you have that tech
22:56 <Cepheid> Train version and stand-alone.
22:56 <Cepheid> It basically is, Ali, for clearing small bases nearby.
22:56 <Ali> New expansion bases
22:56 <Cepheid> More or less.
22:56 <Ali> BOOM BOOM *yay*
22:57 <Ali> I enjoy .17 but it does stress me out in its own unique ways
22:57 <Ali> Since I get paranoid of my stink clouds unlike Cepheid :P
22:57 <ADragonDreaming> Paranoia is best answered with defensive lines.
22:58 <Ali> I'm still not able to do that yet
22:58 <Ali> I have laser tech but just not enough walls
22:58 <Ali> And my stone is starting to run lower than I'd like it.
22:58 <ADragonDreaming> I tend to make a perimeter of gun turrets.
22:58 <Ali> I understand, but basic ammo feels nerfed
22:58 <ADragonDreaming> then run ammo out to it.
22:58 <Cepheid> You know what I want?
22:58 <Ali> And I have a large wall of area
22:59 <ADragonDreaming> What you really really want?
22:59 <Cepheid> I want a vehicle like the seige tanks from Starcraft.
22:59 <Ali> Spin round baby right round?
22:59 <Cepheid> That is, drives like a tank, shoots like a tank. Hit a certain button, transforms into an arty.
22:59 <Ali> THOOM
22:59 <ADragonDreaming> ...I wonder if there are starcraft themed mods for factorio. There have to be, even if they aren't good.
22:59 <Cepheid> Or hell, just give me Sophia ZERO.
23:00 <Cepheid> With it's Acceleration Blast cannon.
23:00 <Cepheid> Basically, Sophia transforms into a stationary cannon, puts all of it's energy into a capacitor, and unloads it in a massive beam attack.
23:00 <Ali> Would be funny to add a tech to build seige tanks with bot parts and they're automated once in siege mode.
23:01 <Cepheid> It's sole purpose was to trivialize a boss, really.
23:01 <Cepheid> A boss called... Skeleton Boss. Literally.
23:02 <Ali> Part of me really wants to see if I can do a lazy *yay* run, but that's a lot of commitment
23:02 <Cepheid> You run into it outside of SOPHIA III. You have to do some annoying platforming and grab onto a ladder in mid-air while the boss tries to knock you off stuff. Which often results in immediate death.
23:03 <Cepheid> You do the platforming, get back to your tank, go into the room.
23:03 <Cepheid> Then *clank* *clink* *bang* *clank* *vwoip vwoip vwoip vwoip* *THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM~!* *Boss is dead*
23:04 <Cepheid> I made better use of it at the end of the game against the final boss. You beat it up, then it becomes disabled. Rescue character from it, get back in tank.
23:04 <Cepheid> Then drive up ever-so-carefully to the boss.
23:04 <Cepheid> And proceed to just blast it into oblivion.
23:04 <Cepheid> They replaced it with a new weapon that's not as cool in Blaster Master Zero 2.
23:05 <Cepheid> On the other hand, it doesn't prevent you from moving while it's charging.
23:05 <Cepheid> It basically creates a Spirit Bomb(Dragonball Z)-type orb of energy, and when it's fully charged, you can throw it forward. Destroys everything it hits, no questions asked.
23:07 <Cepheid> There's a rehash of an old boss later in the game, shortly after you get it. I fired the weapon at it. Health bar went from full in one frame to empty the next.
23:07 <Cepheid> These kinds of weapons would be fun in a top-down view, admittedly.
23:09 <Cepheid> If I implemented it in Factorio, it'd only ever start charging when the fire button is held. Unlike most items powered by electricity in that game, which constantly charge in the presence of an electrical source.
23:09 <Cepheid> Making it only viable with one or more fusion reactors.
23:09 <Cepheid> Though I can totally see people trying to use it with solar panels.
23:10 <Cepheid> "I need... three terajoules of charge to fire this. And I'm getting.... 10 joules/sec from the solar panels on my vehicle."
23:11 <Cepheid> ... I just did the math.
23:11 <Cepheid> THat'd take 9,512 years to charge.
23:11 <Cepheid> Assuming constant solar energy.
23:15 <Cepheid> Upped it to 50 megajoules/sec, it's still 16 hours.
23:17 <Cepheid> I'm rambling again aren't I?
23:23 <ADragonDreaming> I'd fallen down a youtube hole and was watching a video talking about the history of 3DS hacking.
23:23 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:23 <Cepheid> Planning to install CFW?
23:23 <Cepheid> Or just interested in it?
23:24 <ADragonDreaming> the video was titled something like "How a crappy game cracked the 3DS" and then it included a lot more history than just that.
23:24 <Cepheid> Ah, heh.
23:24 <ADragonDreaming> apparently CFW might be old and the thing is now Luma3DS? Or boot9strap...?
23:24 <Cepheid> CFW - Custom firmware.
23:24 <ADragonDreaming> ah
23:24 <Cepheid> Luma3DS is CFW.
23:24 <ADragonDreaming> maybe.
23:24 <Cepheid> I have it installed. Works fine.
23:25 <ADragonDreaming> I haven't touched my 2DS in a while.
23:25 <Cepheid> There was a banwave a while back, but as far as I know, that resolved itself and since then there hasn't been any issues.
23:25 <Cepheid> Nintendo keeps trying to prevent CFW, but they can't.
23:25 <Cepheid> They resolved the store issue, though.
23:26 <Cepheid> For the longest time, CFWed 3DSes were able to download games from the eShop without paying for them.
23:26 <ADragonDreaming> possible Nintendo decided the customer annoyance wasn't worth it especially since the 3DS' official lifespan is basically done with the release of the Switch
23:26 <Cepheid> With the release of the Switch, they changed the way the eShop works, and that method prevents people from downloading free games straight from the eShop.
23:26 <Cepheid> Which is probably why they aren't doing much about it now, other than fixing exploits.
23:27 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, their fixes often break something else, as is the norm for bug fixing.
23:27 <Cepheid> So CFW continues to be installable up to the most recent OS version.
23:27 <ADragonDreaming> aye
23:27 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I wouldn't mind making some homebrew, myself. Toy with the hardware.
23:27 <Cepheid> But I have no idea what to create.
23:28 <ADragonDreaming> 76 bugs to be found in the code, 76 bugs to be found... patch one down, compile it around, 186 bugs in the code
23:28 <Cepheid> Though some programmer friends of mine are working tetris clones to learn basic gamedev, and I decided over the week following exams, I'll make a quick tetris clone using the command-line consoles.
23:28 <Cepheid> Maybe I'll do that on the 3DS for kicks.
23:29 <Cepheid> Tetris is an easy game for me to replicate.
23:29 <ADragonDreaming> That could be fun!
23:29 <Cepheid> If anything, I'd call it the first game anyone should actually put effort into trying to clone or make, themselves.
23:29 <Cepheid> The design of the game is so incredibly simple, it's more or less the "Hello World" of game dev.
23:30 <ADragonDreaming> make the tetris blocks out of the Hello World string.
23:30 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:30 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, Switch CFW...
23:31 <ADragonDreaming> probably nowhere near as advanced
23:31 <Cepheid> Actually..
23:31 <ADragonDreaming> well. perhaps I meant "convenient"
23:31 <Cepheid> It's pretty far along because of the underlying hardware.
23:31 <Cepheid> And all hardware currently is susceptible to the hacks required to install the software.
23:32 <Cepheid> Apparently the requisite flaw is in the hardware itself. A simple OS patch can't fix it either.
23:32 <Cepheid> As for why it's so far along, it's because the underlying hardware is a Tegra X1 SoC, which has a full linux stack available for it, more or less.
23:32 <Cepheid> So from the get-go, they have something to work with, instead of trying to figure out everything on their own.
23:34 <ADragonDreaming> still have to modify your switch hardware to install things?
23:34 <Cepheid> I mean, it's not a drop-in thing, but... yeah.
23:34 <Cepheid> Nah, there are softmods apparently.
23:34 *** Joins: HyperLoop (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net)
23:36 <Cepheid> In any case, I wouldn't advise it.
23:36 <Cepheid> Not unless you have a spare unit laying around.
23:36 *** Quits: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
23:36 <ADragonDreaming> Aye
23:37 <Cepheid> Ah, As of June 2018, the hardware's been fixed. But there's a software exploit.
23:39 <Cepheid> If and when Nintendo updates a new device with stronger specs(Likely to happen, given what they did with the New 3DS), and I finally get around to purchasing one, I'll likely root my original generation Switch.
23:41 <Cepheid> I did my N3DS because the 3DS as a whole is reaching end-of-life.
23:42 <Cepheid> https://defence-blog.com/news/netherlands-f-16-fighter-jet-literally-ran-into-its-own-rounds-during-exercise.html ... I... what.
23:46 <ADragonDreaming> ...how?
23:53 <Cepheid> They don't know, looks like.
23:54 <Cepheid> That said it is not entirely the worst thing I've heard regarding planes.
23:55 <Cepheid> Apparently, and I learned this from Randall Munroe, an aircraft-mounted weapon which is so powerful that under sustained fire, it damages the aircraft it is mounted on. If it wouldn't be damaged from the forces, the plane would actually start flying backwards due to the amount of kickback force.
23:56 <Cepheid> There is*
