00:07 <Cepheid> Nah.
00:07 <Cepheid> It was a skag on a stick, served at a roadside stand.
00:07 <Cepheid> Literally a small skag on a stick, roasted.
00:09 <Cepheid> Okay, let's see what's wrong with this gun that it's defined as cursed.
00:09 <Cepheid> ...
00:09 <Cepheid> I walk slower than a sick skag that's been slagged and fried.
00:09 <Cepheid> And the weapon is...
00:09 <Cepheid> It has an annoying voice.
00:11 <Cepheid> The weapon is designed and programmed into the game in such a way that even turning the volume of voices and sounds down to 0 don't silence it.
00:14 <Cepheid> ...
00:14 <Cepheid> I clipped the train going through Lynchwood from above.
00:15 <Cepheid> And it kills me.
00:23 <Cepheid> Shoulda restocked on ammo so I could kill the sherrif with a pistol. What'd I lose out of that..?
00:25 <Cepheid> Doesn't say.
00:28 <Cepheid> Seems to affect cash and XP rewards. Some missions provide access to items.

02:09 <Cepheid> That's... an interesting bug.
02:09 <Cepheid> There's a mission late in the game, optional one. You have to kill someone out of a group, but if you kill the wrong one, well... yeah.
02:10 <Cepheid> Anyways.
02:10 <Cepheid> IF you use a rocket launcher on the group of 4, the one you need to kill will always die.
02:10 <Cepheid> But the rest will live.
02:19 * Cepheid grinds on Dukino's Mom.
02:29 <Cepheid> Interesting, she drops a legendary rocket launcher, let's see what is it..?
02:29 <Cepheid> The Mongol. Interesting.
02:30 <Cepheid> And Eridium of course.

06:18 <Cepheid> My weapon's doing less damage now because the game has upleveled the boss.
06:22 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, and this might also help some. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=214863853
06:23 <ConfusionRift> Not for modding, but rather understanding what each part on the gun affects it as a whole.
06:24 <Cepheid> Alas, nothing special this time.
06:24 <Cepheid> Just lots of Eridium and a shield upgrade.
06:24 <ConfusionRift> Unsure of scopes affect accuracy like they did in BL1.
06:25 <Cepheid> Only with Hyperion weapons.
06:26 <ConfusionRift> In BL1, when using a scope, it would actually affect the spread at longer range. Not by much, but enough to make accurate guns somewhat better.
06:32 <Cepheid> Nothing special again. Back to town, I think. Over 110 eridium to spend.
06:35 <Cepheid> Aaaaand I'm out 110 eridium.
06:40 <Cepheid> Right, I need a shower, then lay in bed, I think.
06:48 <ConfusionRift> I hate this mission. The one about putting out the mail. Just had to put this up while I did it. :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWsyCIEk62Y
06:55 <Cepheid> It's not that difficult, though. >.>
06:58 <ConfusionRift> If you go there, clear as many bandits as you can, then start it, and follow from bottom to top, yeah it ain't that hard. The problem is when you get the mission specific spawns, and you don't take control as fast as possible. You get swamped, you die, spawn too far from the mission area, and have to start again.
06:59 <Cepheid> I just kinda run through it with the bandits there and deliver the mail.
07:01 <ConfusionRift> I have mixed luck with that. The Nomads hurt something fierce, and a lot of suiciders.

07:08 <Cepheid> Off topic, but Schism?
07:08 <Cepheid> I just saw an unusual Etrian Odyssey Nexus picture.
07:08 <Schism> Oh?
07:08 <Cepheid> A player with characters at level 130.
07:08 <Schism> Heh.
07:10 <Cepheid> I know the game is a weird conglomeration of the entire series, but sheesh, what would require levels that high?
07:10 <Cepheid> The thing that binds the worlds together?
07:10 <Cepheid> Note to self: Get back to EON after school is done for the semester.
07:11 <Cepheid> I'm kind of curious as to what's going on. The game's a bit odd, story-wise. For starters, up until now, there was no real indication(With exception to Etrian Odyssey Mystery Dungeon) that the games were on the same planet(With, apparently, exception to EO5?)
07:14 <Cepheid> There's also the issue of the tree being pretty distinct in nature in each game. That you would not hear anything about any of them in any of the other games is weird.
07:14 <Cepheid> Especially since, overall, let's see..
07:15 <Cepheid> One tree involves climate change. One tree involves aliens. One tree involves eldritch horrors, and the tree is considered an alien itself. One tree is actually a giant bipedal creature.
07:17 <Cepheid> Though, technically that first one was retconned, I think.
07:17 <Cepheid> The remake of that particular game put considerably more focus on the superboss at the end, and treating it as a sealed entity
07:21 <Cepheid> Hum, few more runs of Warrior I think. 4-4:30 AM seems late enough.
07:21 <Cepheid> My exams are in the evening for some ungodsly reason.
07:22 <Cepheid> So I'm staying awake so that I wake up a little bit later and don't feel all exhausted and tired at 7 PM, when my exams happen.
07:22 * ConfusionRift nods.
07:23 <ConfusionRift> Hence why I stay late, so I can go to work refreshed. Unfortunately, sleep is not easy, especially knowing that work is the next day.
07:24 <Cepheid> My kingdom for an acid rifle.
07:24 <ConfusionRift> I think caustic tends to be one of the harder to get ones.
07:25 <ConfusionRift> Why? Dunno. It just is. In BL1, you don't see a single one till like level 25.
07:26 <ConfusionRift> Then again, there were many issues in that game in terms of loot, and those transferred to the remastered version. Pfffffttt.
07:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
07:27 <Cepheid> I got caustic weapons.
07:27 <Cepheid> It's just I prefer to fight from a far range.
07:30 <Cepheid> Especially since I, ye know, just shot that RPG loader in it's weakspot with a flame sniper and it did f-all of nothing to it.
07:31 <Cepheid> Meanwhile either I've gotten stronger, or the game was bugged earlier. Damage isn't excessive anymore.
07:33 <Cepheid> The game heard me.
07:35 <Schism> Phew. 300 bait later, still no fish...
07:36 * ConfusionRift sees the Hyperion station shoot mortar blitzes at the distance. Wonders what's up.
07:38 <Cepheid> If it's in sanctuary, it does that every now and then.
07:46 <Cepheid> I complain about the lack of a sniper with caustic.
07:46 <Cepheid> What do I find from the Warrior?
07:47 <Schism> Ah, of course.
07:47 <ConfusionRift> Probably a caustic Maliwan rifle?
07:48 <Cepheid> Hyperion, actually.
07:50 <ConfusionRift> Ah, a tricky rifle that.
07:55 <Cepheid> Slag rifle that time. And lots of eridium. New shield, too. Back to having acid spike.
07:56 <Cepheid> Ironically, my best weapon for this thing? Dahl SMG with electricity and burst fire.
07:56 <Cepheid> I got SMG +89% on my current mod, so it does insane damage.

08:17 <Cepheid> At least, like, the trash runs are still good.
08:17 <Cepheid> Eridium and cash.
08:20 <Cepheid> I'm guessing your character was "cheated" to recreate an old character because you lost it for one reason or another?
08:25 <ConfusionRift> What happened was my friend wanted to mess around with some modded sessions, which required me to be a level 72+8. I wasn't gonna grind my way up there, so I modded the character to that point. Got tired of the easiness of it all, so I threw away all the modded items, and went back to level 50. Also made sure to reset all skills so the program retracted the points I wasn't supposed to have.
08:26 <Cepheid> Heh.
08:26 <Cepheid> Myself, I'd probably cheat myself to a character at the end of the first playthrough, to make up for the One I Lost.
08:26 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately, the software sometimes gets confused about certain value, and I suppose it destroyed my playthrough variables, so it brought me back to the starting point with level 1 enemies.
08:27 <Cepheid> Simba powered off my PC during the credits, during the era when there was a bug in which the game would break if, at any point, the game closed during the final boss or following credits.
08:27 <Cepheid> Basically prevented further playthroughs, and, indeed, even finishing the last mission.

08:29 <ConfusionRift> You know... I should have done that. Thing is, I would have to tell the game that I finished all the missions on the first playthrough, and leave the warrior mission. That way, I just have to beat him, and the game would move me to the second playthrough.
08:30 <ConfusionRift> I could just jump to the second playthrough, and even 2.5, but I'm afraid the game could freak out and boot me to playthrough 0.
08:31 <ConfusionRift> Also, that sucks.
08:32 <ConfusionRift> It reminds me of the General Knox's Armory glitch that was used to farm a lot of good weapons in BL1.
08:33 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately, it would cause the game to lock you in an incomplete mission, which didn't let you finish the DLC.
08:33 <Cepheid> 143 eridium..
08:34 <Cepheid> Last run.
08:41 <Cepheid> Nothin' but trash again.
08:41 <Cepheid> 159 eridium.

16:29 <Ali> Episode is over but no talking about yet
16:29 * Ali fires up her DVR to watch episode
16:29 <LibrarianofHope_> Ok
16:30 <Ali> There's usually a several hour ban of the topic to allow people to watch it that either can't catch it live or unable to view it cause they don't have the channel
16:30 <LibrarianofHope_> Like me
16:30 <LibrarianofHope_> But hey, pirate stuff yar

16:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> I stopped watching the live stream when it was interrupted by an emergency weather warning for the 2nd time
16:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> Didn't mind the banner at the top of the screen, but the cut the audio
16:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> they*
16:57 <Ali> Yeah that sucks
16:58 <Ali> Though odd, Discovery Family is not usually a network that would get interupted by weather

17:00 <Ali> Even then, at least here, weather doesn't interupt cable channels
17:01 * Ali shrugs and flops over Starlight_Glimmer
17:02 * Starlight_Glimmer steals Ali's DVR
17:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'll return it for the next episode ;)

18:42 <Cepheid> The biggest issue I have with HCI, that makes me lazy for studying for it(I've studied all of five hours in the last week for it), is that it's nothing more than a way for a bunch of people to feel important by applying common sense to UI design and usability.

19:40 <Cepheid> Just a heads up, I have an exam tonight, and I'm likely gonna fail it.
19:41 <Princess-Luna> You can do it if you trrrry
19:41 <Cepheid> That assumes I even care.
19:42 <Cepheid> See, the problem is a double-edged sword caused by both myself and the professor.
19:43 <Cepheid> My lack of interest in funding the university, laziness regarding anything I deem "unimportant," and mental health, are contributing to my cause of why I'm going to fail
19:43 <Cepheid> On the professor's side, it's mostly that she spent most of the lectures touting her password scheme research and constantly yammering about it to a point that I got annoyed.
19:44 <Cepheid> I went to the lectures to learn something, not listen to the professor constantly stroke her metaphorical **** and ego over and over.
19:44 <Cepheid> There's also the issue that HCI is, to me, nothing more than applied common sense.
19:45 <Cepheid> You design for the users, not for yourself, or for your company. And your users aren't all going to be like you or the "typical" person. They may be colourblind, they may be blind altogether, they may be deaf, they may have some other issues that have to be accounted for. The whole idea of using metaphors for UI design is also nice in practice, but..
19:45 <Cepheid> You also have to take into account the cost, in time, and effort, associated with implementing that metaphor.
19:46 <Cepheid> The simple ones are already in place. Buttons, one-selection-only button setups, lists that you can choose from, etc, etc, etc.
19:46 <Cepheid> But the professor suggests that we should implement really complex metaphors if possible, not taking into consideration that these metaphors are not available as part of toolkits.
19:48 <Cepheid> Oh, dials? Yeah, they don't exist in UI systems. Most of them, anyways. Them combination locks with multiple dials? Yeah, they need special programming, too. And so on.
19:48 <Cepheid> Also, HCI is partly responsible for that one feature that actually decreases security on devices, where you see the last character input, etc.
19:49 * Cepheid should stop ranting and get back to studying. At least make an effort.
19:51 <Cepheid> It's nothing more than applied common sense using fancy terminology meant to confuse.

20:54 <Cepheid> There.
20:54 <Cepheid> I've gone through the slides for tonight's exam.
20:54 <Cepheid> I'm better prepared than someone who didn't study anything at all.
21:01 <Cepheid> Hum.
21:02 <Cepheid> I'm gonna design an input subsystem today, I think.
21:02 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: It's Pinkie Pie Month on Discovery Family [ http://tinyurl.com/y3vwxgq5 ]
21:03 <Cepheid> I'd like to translate everything into generic events. So for example, you hit a key on a keyboard, a button on a gamepad, joystick or mouse, it'll be reported as a "Button Event".
21:03 <Cepheid> That is, no "keydown, keyup" or "buttondown, buttonup" events.
21:03 <Cepheid> OR distinct events per input device.
21:04 <Cepheid> That said, it introduces issues because movement is usually handled differently by devices. On a gamepad or joystick, it's an analog input that handles movement of the player, while on a keyboard, it's button presses.
21:05 <Cepheid> Or keypresses, rather.
21:05 <Cepheid> Hmm.
21:07 <Cepheid> A virtual analog stick.
21:09 <Cepheid> A virtual analog stick that can either be connected to a physical analog stick, thus receiving actual analog input events, ooooor, it's connected to a series of four buttons that represent the maximum horizontal positive and negative values, and the maximum vertical positive and negative values.
21:11 <Cepheid> The code using the system will only see the virtual analog stick. In the backend, either 1) Buttons are translated into analog inputs, or 2) Actual analog input is passed through.
