08:39 <ConfusionRift> Heh, great. Yet didn't see that coming.
08:40 <Schism> Few did.
08:52 <Schism> gh.
08:52 <Schism> ConfusionRift: So, the Secret Service recovered a thumbdrive from an obviously adversarial foreign national. Also known, colloquially, as a SPY.
08:53 <Schism> Perfectly reasonable, these things happen all the time.
08:53 <Schism> The thumbdrive in question clearly contained some interesting material, otherwise why would it be on him? So, guess what the fine folks of the Secret Service did to determine what was /on/ that thumbdrive?
08:54 <ConfusionRift> Probably used some common software or such?
08:55 <Schism> They shoved that thing right into a Windows laptop on their private network.
08:55 <Schism> Well, might not have been a laptop.
08:57 <Schism> Oh, my apologies. Why would /she/ have numerous thumbdrives and the like, not he.
08:58 <ConfusionRift> Yep, sounds about right. Not like there could be any suspicion of there being any malicious software or dataminers in such drives. Oh wait...
08:59 <Schism> Oh, they interrupted the process ONCE THEY NOTICED THAT IT WAS INSTALLING various pieces of software. At that point, the only reasonable solution is to bury the box in a pile of thermite and set it aflame, but there've been no reports of that.
09:00 <Schism> Unt yes, I'm quite certain that was connected to an intranet...
09:06 <Schism> ConfusionRift: Oh, they'd 'never seen a USB drive install software when being plugged in before'.
09:07 <ConfusionRift> We're trusting our nation's security to these people. -_-

10:17 <Cepheid> Yes.
10:17 <Schism> Freezing rain beneath, too, so you're going to have a fun time getting out there.
10:18 <AppleDash> Or, you know, plug it into a computer at a place like the library to figure out what's on it. Free flash drive yo.
10:18 <Schism> What did that library ever do to me, that I should treat their network so?
10:18 <AppleDash> Those computers are highly locked down and wiped every time you log out
10:20 <Schism> That's as may be, but I'd still prefer a homemade environment for sanitization.
10:20 <Cepheid> Not at my uni.
10:20 <Cepheid> They wipe themselves yeah.
10:20 <Cepheid> But the computers are networked.
10:21 <Cepheid> They connect to the school network too, the one all the students connect to. I know this because they had a malware incident a while back.
10:21 * Schism nods, "Said computers /have/ to be networked in order to function properly."
10:22 <Cepheid> Anyway, shower time. Back in a bit.

10:42 <Cepheid> Back.
10:47 <Cepheid> But yes. Connecting unknown USB keys to computers is a bad idea if they are in any way networked.
10:47 <RazorSharpFang> I plug USB sticks in, then scan them for all executable code, and ensure that every subroutine in said code gets run.
10:48 <AppleDash> I don't really subscribe to most computer fear. If one computer can somehow infect your entire network, you have bigger problems.
10:51 <RazorSharpFang> A small organisation could totally be a single subnet
10:51 <ConfusionRift> Not everyone is smart enough to keep a whole network safe and protected. So the better choice would be to get rid of the drive. Besides, USB drives are getting real cheap nowadays. Another solution would be to use an older system that's outside the network. If anything happens, pfft, oh well.
10:52 <ConfusionRift> Still see some small businesses not even bother with a decent router.
10:52 <RazorSharpFang> Whatever works, works.
10:54 <ConfusionRift> "And that's how the cookie burns and toasts the whole house." | You mean 'crumbles', right? | "Not with THIS network."
10:56 <Cepheid> Apple, it isn't a computer fear, it is a legitimate concern. Software can be set up to autorun off of a USB key, and many computers on public networks, like say my school network, are not set up to prevent that. The network at my university is mostly managed by students. It's why malware is a concern.
10:57 <ConfusionRift> ^
10:57 <ConfusionRift> It's fairly common.
10:57 <Cepheid> Prior to the last malware incident, the IT department was the one responsible for a virus spreading across the network.
10:58 <Cepheid> My dad was called in to handle a bunch of Dell tech support calls because of it.

11:09 <Cepheid> Apple, i use that network to connect to the Internet at school. I'd prefer not to destroy it.
11:09 <ConfusionRift> Also, I didn't know that was gonna happen. The network got attacked something fierce, and they just implemented those measures. So I thought, "there's nothing bad nor I got nothing to hide in them, so it's fine", and then that happened. -_- Wasn't the only own either. And then they were getting further anxious because everyone decided to move with laptops and use the wireless network instead.

12:03 <Cepheid> So what do you plan to spend your money on? Me? At this point, my first paycheck would go towards a high-quality office chair.
12:04 <RazorSharpFang> I'm not sure. I'm a frugal person, but I'll probably pay this bill that's due in a week.
12:04 <Cepheid> That's a good idea yeah.
12:04 <RazorSharpFang> Car registration.
12:04 <Cepheid> I don't pay bills. Try, but the parents stop me.
12:04 <Cepheid> I'm not kidding.
12:05 <Cepheid> They tell me that so long as I am attending school, I don't have to pay any bills. Otherwise, the most they will take from me would be a fraction of the rent, expect me to pay for my own groceries, and phone bill.
12:06 <RazorSharpFang> That's very gracious.
12:06 <Cepheid> They are willing to just let me live with them since it is too expensive to live by one's self in this city.
12:06 <Cepheid> That and they dont want me to leave.
12:06 <Cepheid> I'm a bit of a special case for my parents.
12:07 <Cepheid> They love my sister dearly, but they also feel like they messed up raising her. She was rebellious in her mid-teens. Smoking, finding her birth father, and so on.
12:07 <Cepheid> So they sort of sheltered me as a result and are extremely hesitant to let me go.
12:08 <RazorSharpFang> Well, as long as they're not holding you back, per-se.
12:08 <Cepheid> Not the most ideal situation, but better than most.
12:08 <Cepheid> They did at first. Especialky my mother.
12:09 <Cepheid> She wouldn't let me go downtown alone or walk around outside at age 15. Because she was afraid I'd run into someone, get into a fight, then run off, never to return.

12:09 <Cepheid> Or that if I crossed the street, I'd get hit hy a car.
12:10 <Cepheid> That said, knowing what I do these days, I suspect that was her version of my mental illness.
12:11 <Cepheid> So I don't dxactly hold it against her anymore.
12:11 <Cepheid> Now her version of my mental illness just causes her to... Clean.
12:11 <Cepheid> She cleans the house when she is pissed off.
12:12 <Cepheid> I think she might be aggravating that a tad too. She watches the show Hoarders.
12:12 <RazorSharpFang> Hrmm.
12:13 <Cepheid> I'm in an odd boat as is. I... Do have concerns about her. My dad, not as much. Mostly in regards to empty nest syndrome.
12:13 <Cepheid> I'm not 100% sure I should ever move out.
12:14 <Cepheid> She shows signs of needing one of her kids around to be happy. She is already stressed about my sister being alone up North for example.
12:15 <Cepheid> If you ever meet my parents somehow, or they start talking through this account to you guys, do me a favour and never mention any of this to them.
12:16 <Cepheid> Although if they start talking to you through this account, it probably means something happened to me.
12:16 <RazorSharpFang> I was wondering how on earth it would come about that I would find myself talking to your parents.
12:18 <Cepheid> Most probably, through this IRC account. Alongside me just telling them how to access it, in the event I lived through whatever disaster that befell me, I have notes on my desk for emergencies.
12:18 <RazorSharpFang> Time to pay some bills... though the bill is higher than my paycheck. Registration is so expensive.
12:19 <Cepheid> But more probably, if I survive, I'd likely just tell you myself. Unless I broke or lost my hands/arms.
12:20 <Cepheid> If such a thing ever happened, there'd be a way to tell who was on the account.
12:20 <Cepheid> If I open up with a joke about me being armless, 99% chance it's my dad.
12:24 <Cepheid> Meanwhile if it sounds panicked or sombre, or is just straightforward, probably my mother.

12:24 <Cepheid> Meanwhile if it involves screaming and jokes, it's likely me. Somehow.
12:25 <RazorSharpFang> Feels sad to get my first paycheck, pay a bill, and then have less money than before. Dang bills so high.
12:25 <Cepheid> And lastly... If it is sideways dirty jokes, it's my sister. Especially if she mentions my smooth, smooth, bald head.
12:26 <Cepheid> Yeah.
12:26 <Cepheid> I feel kind of bad with my situation to be honest.
12:26 <Cepheid> People would kill their parents to be in such a situation like mine.
12:27 <Cepheid> On the other hand... Lack of freedom to do certain things. For example, despite being 33 next month, I'm not allowed to be in my bedroom alone with a woman.
12:27 <Cepheid> ... or a man, given my orientation.
12:28 <RazorSharpFang> You speak as though you're bi or pan.
12:28 <Cepheid> Bi.
12:29 <Cepheid> Probably closer to pan, though.
12:29 <Cepheid> Especially given my first alone time with another person was with a trans friend.
12:31 <RazorSharpFang> Somehow I always seem to end up with 23/24 ores for smelting (requires 24) or 99.9 fluid out of 100.
12:36 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:36 <Cepheid> Random off-topic question, but I was wondering.
12:37 <Cepheid> Are you familiar with any sort of style of swordfighting that is focused around mostly offense, and evasion as the prime defensive measure?
12:37 <RazorSharpFang> Fencing?
12:38 <Cepheid> I considered that, but I don't think so.
12:38 <Cepheid> You're still deflecting blows by intercepting their sword.
12:39 <Cepheid> In any case, I'm pretty set on Kendo. I was just wondering, regardless.
12:39 <Cepheid> As for someone like me, it seems more like a more offensive stance might be appropriate for me.

12:40 <Cepheid> Granted, only in my enraged state, anyways.

12:41 <Cepheid> I have incredible spacial awareness within a close range around me. Disturbs my parents and people I know.
12:42 <Cepheid> Can't notice entire skyrises going up a few blocks away, but I can feel people walking by me out of sight.
12:42 <RazorSharpFang> Interesting.
12:43 <Cepheid> To be honest, I wonder if I went through that state that people who lose one of their senses goes through.
12:43 <Cepheid> I may not have completely lost my hearing as a child, but it was still profound. Enough that I couldn't hear people speaking to me, etc. It tuned out the noise for me.
12:43 <Cepheid> So I wonder if perhaps my other senses compensated.
12:43 <Cepheid> And the reason I still have trouble with sound now is more because the associated region of my brain is simply underdeveloped.
12:44 <Cepheid> I mean, it was during my childhood up until I was 16 years old. The period when my brain is mostly building itself up.
12:44 <Cepheid> A few years later, that development would slow down.

12:46 <FoxesFurever> hi
12:47 <Cepheid> Hey.
12:57 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang: I basically notice the following things around me: Slight temperature changes from a person being near me. Movement air from a person walking by. I can sense people around corners, though I think that's more a visual thing because I keep track of shadows a lot.
12:58 <Cepheid> I utilize information available to me within the local region around me, about 2-3 meters roughly, to figure out where people are in relation to me.
13:01 <FoxesFurever> i feel like my mom would've been amazed to know that she shared a birthday with Lucille Ball
13:02 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:02 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, yeah, they trained a neural-network to be able to "see" around corners the other day.
13:02 <FoxesFurever> well, she really liked watching I Love Lucy
13:07 <Cepheid> Seeing around corners basically involves sound and light observation.
13:10 <RazorSharpFang> It's all about the differences in lighting rather than the lighting directly.
13:13 <Cepheid> Mmm.
13:13 <Cepheid> Mostly what catches my eye visually is I notice darkness on the ground around the area of the corner.
13:14 <Cepheid> Not a direct shadow.
13:14 <Cepheid> But rather, some sort of shadow that has lost all sharpness to it.
13:14 <Cepheid> So it appears as an ever-so-slight change in brightness of the surface.
13:15 <RazorSharpFang> Lost-sharpnes is referred to as blurred.
13:17 <Cepheid> True.
13:18 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, sound-wise, usually it's footsteps or people talking.
13:18 <Cepheid> So, because of a conversation with a colleague at my university, I discovered how costly it is to buy a coffee every day at the local tim hortons, or an energy drink every day.
13:20 <Cepheid> ~$850 for a medium cup of coffee on a daily basis. ~$1,460 for an energy drink a day.
13:21 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, using a brewing machine like a keurig with re-usable cups, it's about $240 a year.
13:23 <Cepheid> o/` All these voices inside of my head, blinding my sight in a curtain of red~ o/`
13:24 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, I make my coffee using store-brand instant coffee powder, store-brand milk-powder, and milo. I wonder how (cheap) expensive my coffees are.
13:26 <Cepheid> If you can get me the container sizes and the prices you pay, I could tell you.
13:29 <RazorSharpFang> Can't find that out now, perhaps I'll crunch the numbers sometime.
13:30 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:30 <Cepheid> Here, in this case, it was just $0.69 for the coffee, apparently.
13:30 <Cepheid> Or rather, that's the cost for a use per day, etc.
13:30 <Cepheid> Not sure exactly.
13:30 <Cepheid> But I assume the guy divided the number of keurig cup refills he gets out of a single package, and that's what it came to.
13:36 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I'm getting creeped out.
13:36 <Cepheid> More and more people are recognizing me and greeting me in the morning, even though I never speak to them.
13:37 <Cepheid> Why? Because I always sit in the same spots when waiting for the LLRR room to open. And apparently, I'm the only one who shows up to it at 8:30 AM.
13:37 <Cepheid> I come here because, in contrast to the computer science lounge, it's QUIET.
13:37 <Cepheid> Even with people in here, yammering away. Everyone keeps a level volume of voice.
13:37 <Cepheid> They don't let it get out of control. >.>
13:40 <Cepheid> I think the worst part though?
13:40 <Cepheid> I'm not talking to some of these people, and they somehow know my name.
13:40 *** Quits: FoxesFurever (Mibbit@Pony-j48.r63.225.104.IP) (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
13:40 <Cepheid> I'd understand if I was wearing my lanyard like I used to. I always had my student card and bus pass in it, both prominently displaying my name.
13:41 <Cepheid> I stopped wearing it though due to security concerns. The lanyard can be pulled off of me just by tugging at it, as the clip isn't a latch or anything.
13:41 <Cepheid> So no one can identify me on sight and know my name, now.
13:41 <Cepheid> And it's not like I wear a "Hi, my name is ..." sticker on my shirts.
13:42 <RazorSharpFang> Hrmm.
13:42 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe you're well-knowable?
13:48 <Cepheid> I'm told most often that it's my head.
13:48 <Cepheid> My face and bald head.
13:48 <Cepheid> Beyond that?
13:48 <Cepheid> Despite my deplorable grades, I am apparently well-known as being smart and knowledgeable about computers.
13:48 <Cepheid> Some people wonder why I'm even here.
13:50 <Cepheid> I'm basically either compared to the students, in which case, most of them are denigrating themselves by comparing themselves to me. There are rare occasions where I am compared to the professors.
13:51 <Cepheid> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/259828436963557376/565171485761732618/f25fb91c-d922-466f-af4d-f9a3701d17b6.jpg Outside of the unibrow, this is mostly what I look like these days. Thoughts, RazorSharpFang? Anything that stands out on my face?
13:52 <RazorSharpFang> Is that a cat scratch?
13:56 <Cepheid> Where?
13:56 <Cepheid> Right-hand side of my face?
13:56 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah
13:57 <Cepheid> Actually, that's a quirk of my muscles and facial structure.
13:57 <Cepheid> You may notice I have a crooked smile, besides the teeth issues.
13:58 <Cepheid> For whatever reason, the muscles on the right-hand side of my face are either stronger, or I dunno. But that little curve on the right-hand side of my face is a crease.
13:58 <Cepheid> Sexy, I am not.
13:58 <Cepheid> Unique, I am.
13:58 <RazorSharpFang> Huh.
13:59 <Cepheid> My teeth meanwhile, I assumed was due to lack of space in my mouth. I had my wisdom teeth removed for it.
13:59 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, that's oft a problem. I have a wide jaw myself, so all my teeth fit fine. My little sister has a smaller jaw and had to get braces AND teeth removed.
13:59 <Cepheid> While some teeth have started to move, others have not. Like that large canine in the upper-right of my teeth in that picture.
14:00 <Cepheid> I'd get braces or an aligner, but dentists want to do surgery on me first.
14:00 <Cepheid> I have an underbite, not very bad.
14:00 <Cepheid> But in order to fix it, they have to take slices of my jaw out.
14:01 <Cepheid> The only other problem I have is that I grind my teeth.
14:01 <Cepheid> Also a high palate.
14:01 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know what any of those refer to.
14:01 <Cepheid> In fact, Dr. Kilty things that partly might be what's causing my sinuses issues.
14:02 <Cepheid> Underbite is where my lower teeth extend outward horizontally further than my upper teeth.
14:02 <Cepheid> Palate is that little "dip" in the roof of your mouth.
14:02 <Cepheid> As for grinding my teeth, it just means I clench my teeth hard and regularly shift my jaw, causing the teeth to grind against one another. THe biggest problem of this is that it causes my teeth to slowly erode over time.
14:05 <Cepheid> Basically, to fix underbite, they quite literally take thin slices of your jaw bone right out.
14:05 <Cepheid> This, of course, is an extremely invasive procedure.
14:05 <Cepheid> And requires specialized hardware to hold everything in place.
14:05 <RazorSharpFang> It's the opposite of an overbite right?
14:05 <Cepheid> Yes.
14:05 <Cepheid> If I had an overbite, my lower front teeth would be behind the upper front teeth.
14:05 <Cepheid> Instead, they're in front of the upper front teeth.
14:05 <Cepheid> That said..
14:06 <Cepheid> Whether I have an actual overbite is up for debate, if you ask me.
14:06 <Cepheid> Some of my teeth point outwards. Others point inwards, because of the way my mouth is.
14:07 <Cepheid> Basically, if you're looking at my teeth lining up to determine under- or overbite, you might want to correct my teeth first.
14:08 <Cepheid> ...
14:08 <Cepheid> So someone tried out the One Punch Man training regimen.
14:09 <Cepheid> That is, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10k run every day.
14:09 <Cepheid> I gather he wasn't able to do all of this immediately, and worked up to it of course.
14:09 <Cepheid> But apparently, in 30 days of following a regimen like this, he lost a lot of weight and became quite buff.
14:10 <RazorSharpFang> I don't see how someone can do all of that every day (or even work up to it) whilst working full-time.
14:10 <Cepheid> PRobably a student, then?
14:10 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I need to start a regimen myself.
14:10 <Cepheid> Especially if I want to take up Kendo.
14:10 <RazorSharpFang> I've been working a while, and I feel completely drained whenever I get home from work.
14:11 <Cepheid> That said, I've already started losing weight thanks to the power of drugs.
14:11 <Cepheid> My anti-ADHD medication stops binge eating.
14:11 <RazorSharpFang> Hurray for drugs?
14:11 <Cepheid> That, and I've kind of changed my diet a tad.
14:12 <Cepheid> I'm eating protein-heavy meals instead of random stuff.
14:12 <Cepheid> Granted I need to learn to start making my own meals, as it's expensive to keep buying food at the school.
14:14 <RazorSharpFang> I almost always make my own meals myself, and bring them to work/uni. For me, it's chicken-egg-cheese sandwiches most days. Lots of protein.
14:15 <Cepheid> Yeah. THe usual I get at school is..
14:15 <Cepheid> Scrambled eggs, nothing in them(Maybe black pepper), a bowl of yoghurt, and whatever meat is available.
14:15 <Cepheid> Yesterday, it was pork. Today, it was bacon.
14:15 <Cepheid> Yeah, bacon's not good for me to eat, I know.
14:16 <RazorSharpFang> Bacon's fine as long as you're active enough to justify the calories yo
14:17 <RazorSharpFang> It's all context-sensitive.
14:18 <Cepheid> Active enough to justify the calories, and provided you don't start snacking later.
14:18 <RazorSharpFang> *snack-snack*
14:18 <Cepheid> Most of the time, I'm usually sitting around. But I do make my way across the campus, traversing the tunnels and climbing up and down stairs.
14:20 <RazorSharpFang> My stomach is grumbling myself.
14:20 <RazorSharpFang> And yet I'm supposed to sleep now. What a conundrum.
14:23 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I should run through my skit script a few more times.

17:10 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope: Western Digital NVMe Solid State Drive. NVMe is a protocol/interface for solid state drives. It replaces SATAIII for hard drives.
17:10 <Cepheid> SATAIII was a stop-gap solution to the SSD performance issue. NVMe is the final solution.
17:11 <Cepheid> Basically, NVMe drives are these small DIMM-like sticks with memory chips on them. They connect to the computer through a special connector. They're insanely fast compared to standard hard disk drives.

17:32 <LibrarianofHope> apparently the stuff the clinic sells is not weed, an actual medicine
17:34 <Cepheid> Ah, that stuff.
17:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, fair enough.
17:35 <DashedRainbows> Cannabis would keep me from using things that are actually harmful
17:35 <Cepheid> Cannabis would probably also help me too, but I'm hesitant to try.
17:35 <Cepheid> Also, I'm not sure what effect, if any, it has on ADHD.
17:35 <DashedRainbows> Like opiates or gabapentinoids
17:36 <LibrarianofHope> i get telemarketing calls a lot
17:36 <Cepheid> For me, it'd be about either managing my mental health, or dealing with my abuse of naproxen and acetaminophen.
17:36 <LibrarianofHope> i block each number, the heck they get more
17:36 <DashedRainbows> Or benzos were I so desperate
17:37 <Cepheid> Because I'm almost certain that taking 440mg of naproxen on a daily basis, sometimes with acetaminophen later in the day, is not good for my liver.
17:37 <Cepheid> But alas, I *NEED* to take it.

17:44 <Cepheid> Yes.

18:48 <Cepheid> I'd have to calculate all the timings, myself.
18:48 <Cepheid> Pretty sure the display can handle it. Just for some reason, it rounds down below 60Hz instead of rounding slightly above.

19:22 * LibrarianofHope fits a chaosore horn on tempest
19:22 * LibrarianofHope explodes from backlash
19:22 <LibrarianofHope> owo, spicy
19:24 <Schism> Alicorn is a magical focus! For unicorns, it's in their horns; for earth ponies it's in their legs; for pegasi it's in their wings; for changelings it's in the chitin. o3o
19:24 <LibrarianofHope> ohh
19:24 * LibrarianofHope gets da huge bug net to study schism
19:25 <LibrarianofHope> i double as magus biologis on occasion
19:25 * Schism doesn't have any empty bottles.

19:48 <LibrarianofHope> im curios
19:48 <TempestShadow> No, you're librarian
19:49 <LibrarianofHope> wouldnt it be more reasonable to say Celestia moves the world
19:49 <TempestShadow> No, they literally say the sun moves xD
19:49 <LibrarianofHope> its easier to move a world than a star
19:49 <Schism> Artificial sun!
19:49 <TempestShadow> I dunno, thats hypothetical at best.
19:49 <LibrarianofHope> sooo equestria is falt
19:49 <TempestShadow> Probably not
19:50 <LibrarianofHope> or wahtever the planet is called
19:50 <TempestShadow> its just magic
19:50 <TempestShadow> MAAAGIC
19:50 <Schism> The sun also orbits the Disc.
19:50 <LibrarianofHope> its a mini sun no?
19:50 <Schism> But then, the speed of light is somewhat slower on the Disc, too.
19:50 <LibrarianofHope> portable for your convinience
19:51 <LibrarianofHope> thats what happens when lore expands on the go
19:51 <LibrarianofHope> stuff gets confusing

19:52 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
19:52 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Cue the sun
19:52 <Starlight_Glimmer> Lauren Faust confirmed flat earther
19:52 <LibrarianofHope> so the twilight sparkle show?
19:52 <TempestShadow> Lauren loved making lore up over glasses of win
19:52 <TempestShadow> *wine
19:52 <TempestShadow> she did such on twitter a few times
19:53 <LibrarianofHope> "and then a chimmera chaos god thingie hic yeah, makes sense"
19:53 <LibrarianofHope> "pass me the chardonnay"
19:54 <LibrarianofHope> although i have freakier stuff, no wine involved.
19:54 <TempestShadow> I believe she's partial to Pinot Noir, which is apparently her name for the pony known as Berry Punch. xD
19:54 <DashedRainbows> You have magical talking horses, it makes perfect sense
19:55 <LibrarianofHope> i should worldbuild drunk, see waht comes out
19:55 <DashedRainbows> Logic is already dead
19:55 <TempestShadow> Where;s the fun in making seeeense
19:56 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also the scariest moment of the opener was when the sisters announced their retirement. While Tia - unlike Luna - is a bad dictator a democracy would be way worse. Thank Luna for nepotism :3
19:56 <LibrarianofHope> celestia is a dicitator?
19:56 <TempestShadow> She's not, he's just playing up the trope
19:56 <TempestShadow> :P
19:57 <LibrarianofHope> its a sort of constitutional monaquy no?
19:57 <LibrarianofHope> she was supposed to be queen celestia, but that was not good for branding
19:58 <LibrarianofHope> a first among equals aprroach is good to
19:58 <TempestShadow> Evil queens are too much of a media thing
19:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> You mean like the weird old lady that supposedly runs Britain? Nuh

20:07 <TempestShadow> " 21:04 LibrarianofHope: general question tempest, do uk folks like da queen? " - Meeeeeeh, it varies
20:07 <TempestShadow> she's pretty unnecessary these days, and the figurehead status doesn't mean so much to the folks when they see nothing of worth
20:08 <Ali> And Charles is still grumping he's not the king
20:08 * Cepheid flops on home finally.
20:08 <LibrarianofHope> what prevents overused of the cadence trick?
20:08 <Finwe> Wilhelmus van Nassouwe ben ick van Duytschen Bloedt [...] Den Coninck van Hispangien heb ick altijt gheeert.
20:09 <LibrarianofHope> besides summary kicking out?
20:09 <Finwe> LibrarianofHope: I just have the same first name as Willem van Oranje-Nassouwe, who, in the Dutch national anthem, allegedly has always been subject to the king of Spain. o3o
20:09 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope, you'd have to ask the bot designer. But I think it temporarily bans.
20:10 <LibrarianofHope> im jose, lots of us
20:10 <LibrarianofHope> my title sounds cooler, so i stick to thart
20:13 <Finwe> In reality, Prince Willem van Oranje-Nassouwe led the rebellion against the Spaniards and won independece to the Netherlands.
20:13 <LibrarianofHope> we had a priest ring a bell and gather some peasants
20:14 <LibrarianofHope> mexican history is niot that fun, albeit we did morelos, who napoleon said was a grand commander
20:14 <LibrarianofHope> he said if he had 5 like him, he would conquer the world
20:14 <LibrarianofHope> also pancho villa, intersting guy,
20:15 <LibrarianofHope> besides thta is fairly meh
20:17 <LibrarianofHope> evry 15 of septmber the president rings the same bell and does a speech
20:23 <Cepheid> All I know regarding my name is that my first name is the name of a saint, and one of my middle names is more the result of my dad's step-mother being a pain in the butt.
20:23 <Cepheid> And, for some reason, despite the hatred of the French inherent on that side of the family, we haven't changed the family name.
20:24 <LibrarianofHope> i have the normalest name ever
20:24 <LibrarianofHope> its failry ironic that i have a passion for naming things fancy, but it happens
20:25 <Cepheid> First name, Andrew. Middle name in question that's troublesome, Joseph, last name, Dionne.
20:25 <Cepheid> Pronounced using English pronunciation, so if you can say Celine Dion's name, you can say my last name.
20:25 <LibrarianofHope> im Jose Antonio- Joseph Anthony
20:25 <Cepheid> Do not use the French pronunciation in front of my parents.
20:26 <LibrarianofHope> i suspect ali is Alicia or alice
20:26 <Cepheid> I don't know what my dad's case is with the French, given he himself is a Frenchman(And indirectly from that, so am I,) but he hates the French in general.
20:26 <Cepheid> My mother's problem stems from Quebecois stuff.

21:59 <PinkieShy> I saw a in video that said the USA is only one of 2 countries in the world that still use cdma.
22:03 <DashedRainbows> CDMA needs to die
22:04 <PinkieShy> I agree.
22:05 <PinkieShy> I said it before and i'll say it again and again if need :)
22:05 <AppleDash> I need CDMA and apparently I can't send that sentence alone because it contains too many capital letters.
22:08 <Cepheid> What is CDMA?

23:40 <Cepheid> ... Capcom is too savvy about it's own memes and failings.
23:40 <Schism> Paying attention to their fans is a wonderful thing, though.
23:43 <Schism> Cepheid: So, From Software or, more probably, Activision, changed the release date of Sekiro on their Steam page to maintain the top position in the 'New Releases' on the storefront.
23:43 <Cepheid> I'm honestly surprised they didn't turn that bad translation into a running gag in the series. Even in the original Japanese.
23:44 <Cepheid> Schism, that sounds like Activision.
23:45 <Schism> Aye.
23:45 <Schism> Pff. "You cheated not only the game, but yourself" is exploding all over the place.
23:46 <Cepheid> It is, yeah
23:46 <Cepheid> It's become this huge topic, especially surrounding accessibility.

23:49 <Cepheid> All I know with my game is the difficulty slider will affect combat only.
23:49 <Cepheid> Puzzles stay at full capacity.
23:50 <Cepheid> Kind of the point with the game after all.
23:51 <Schism> In CrossCode, there's a slider which does affect puzzles -- but it only makes them move more slowly, rather than making the solution different.
23:52 <TempestShadow> I kinda think that difficulty settings for a game like that are fine, or at least do it in the way Nintendo do...not so much a mode, but a piece of equipment/powerup that lets you be invulnerable to attacks and whatnot, but you still have to get through the levels
23:53 <Cepheid> I could do that for some puzzles Schism. Time sensitive ones anyway.
23:53 * Schism nods.
23:53 <Cepheid> And it is fair game since not everyone has two hands. Or is using their hands at all.
23:54 <Cepheid> Especially the folks who go without hands intentionally to complete a game with a DDR dance pad.
