00:07 <Schism> eww, Eureka NM train.
00:08 <Lumindia> I mean, my alternative is levelling Machinst
00:08 <Lumindia> Machinist*
00:09 <Lumindia> so *shrug*
00:09 <Schism> Well, that's reasonable.
00:10 <Lumindia> and no, I can't level anything else... I have nothing else TO level
00:10 <Lumindia> MCH is my only sub-70 job
00:17 * Cepheid is stressed because of his cat's behaviour in his bedroom.
00:19 <Cepheid> Also, overcaffeinated.
00:19 <ADragonDreaming> what is cat do?
00:21 <Cepheid> Last night, something happened. I'm not sure what. I just heard a bunch of crashing and rattling. Got me out of bed, and I turned the lights on. All I could find was a water bottle knocked over, pouring water over the floor, and my cat staring at both the water and the far corner from him. Following this, he's been persistently on edge when he's in my bedroom.
00:21 <Cepheid> To the point that he jumps at the slightest of things.
00:22 <Cepheid> He's not calm in my room anymore.
00:22 <ADragonDreaming> peculiar
00:22 <Cepheid> Every time he comes in, he consistently stares at the same corner, and approaches it extremely cautiously.
00:23 <Cepheid> Like, low to the ground. Slow, careful steps, sniffing, ears up and forward, tail up and twitching.
00:29 <Lumindia> well that sounds like he got traumatized by something
00:29 <Lumindia> possibly spilled the water on himself?
00:31 <Cepheid> Nah. No water on him.

01:05 <Cepheid> I'm annoyed. I'm in a mixed state. I want to laze around, but I also want to code. And in the latter case, I don't know what to work on or do, so I'm kinda spinning my wheels and getting nothing done.
01:06 <Cepheid> Been like this for a few days.

01:40 * Cepheid gets back to EOV. If he can't focus, might as well slack.
01:42 <PinkieShy> Why.. would anyone think its okay to make a threat as a joke..
01:42 <Cepheid> "If endangered, it may go supernova--try to beat it in one burst." ... So, kill in one attack?
01:42 <PinkieShy> Threats is the best way to end friendships.. not keep them.
01:45 <Schism> PinkieShy: Egh. And, as they say, "When children throw stones at frogs in jest, the frogs still die in earnest."
01:46 <Cepheid> Hate to break this to you bluntly PinkieShy, but you've been living under a rock if you think this kind of behaviour is new.
01:46 <PinkieShy> I know its not new.
01:46 <PinkieShy> Just.. Don't care for it happening to me.. often :/
01:52 * DashedRainbows has a motto. Unfortunately it's 'people are mean'
01:53 <Cepheid> I don't know what to make of this conditional. It can't be bound in any way, so that's out. It's resistant to all physical attacks, and ice. It's weak to fire and thunder. I've already tested those elements. And it's susceptible to all status ailments. And I've tried them all. There appears to be an opening in IK, though.
01:54 <Cepheid> My preferable motto is "Don't assume the best of everyone."
01:54 <Schism> I know there's a first-turn conditional. Is there one for keeping the enemy alive for a certain number of turns?
01:56 <Cepheid> Generally no.
01:57 <Cepheid> If I had to hazard a guess, OHKO is needed.
01:58 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, while I got the specific enemy frequently earlier, I haven't found one now, with a character that has Fatal Reap.
02:02 * DashedRainbows licks PinkieShy anyway
02:03 <Cepheid> Man, this area is profitable.
02:03 <Cepheid> Good EXP(Anywhere from 50,000 to 60,000 with 100% increase) and the items dropped by the monsters, common items, are anywhere from 1000 to 1600 En a piece.
02:04 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #1793 [ http://tinyurl.com/yyzye3zq ]
02:04 <Cepheid> And the enemy groups are easy to murder.
02:04 <Cepheid> Even better, a geomagnetic pole literally right there. You can escape at a moment's notice.
02:09 <Cepheid> Got it.
02:09 <Cepheid> It's one-hit KO that drops the conditional.
02:10 <Cepheid> I need a necromancer with Zombie Powder.
02:11 <Cepheid> Or a character with an instant-death skill that doesn't cause damage.
02:12 * DashedRainbows ponies around the channel
02:15 <Cepheid> I should try making a blademaster at some point. Slightly crazy class, basically, with one skill, you can equip up to four weapons on the character.
02:15 <Cepheid> No, wait, that's Blade Dancer.
02:16 <Cepheid> Still.

02:52 <Cepheid> He specifically does NOT want to be in this room.

03:15 * DashedRainbows sniffs Ali is bored horse
03:15 * Ali hugs the DashedRainbows softly
03:22 <Cepheid> Hum. Two more runs of this area and I should be ready to fight the boss again.
03:41 <Cepheid> Polydeuces obtained. +5ed 'em. Tirek is now our strongest in terms in raw attack power.
03:43 <Cepheid> And now let's see what rare item I get from that boss drop.
03:43 <Cepheid> A sword. Hum, no one can use that, except Finwe.
03:45 <Cepheid> Right then, superboss attempt #1.
03:48 <Cepheid> ...
03:48 <Cepheid> Oh my gods.
03:49 <Cepheid> She's susceptible to PANIC.
03:53 <Cepheid> 40% left.
03:56 * Cepheid drags the corpse of the Dryad into the channel.
03:57 <Cepheid> ...
03:57 <Cepheid> 504,450En for the special weapon from her corpse.
03:57 <Cepheid> I know it's the best wand in the game, but jeeze louis.
03:59 <Cepheid> And for that, 1.5 million EXP. Also, the maximum level is now 80.
04:06 * Cepheid makes a squad of five rovers, called the Five Js. Because their names are John, Jim, Jenny, June, and Jake.
04:15 * PinkieShy hands out boiled peanuts
04:15 <Cepheid> Can't say I have had boiled peanuts.
04:19 <PinkieShy> Very very salty :P
04:20 <PinkieShy> but good.
04:26 <PinkieShy> I'll never forget this https://www.equestriadaily.com/2016/02/microsofts-support-twitter-rockin-ponies.html The time i was in a Post on EquestriaDaily because of Microsoft XD
04:33 <Cepheid> Okay, this is an interesting mechanic.
04:34 <Cepheid> I found the next superboss. Starts in a maze-like room.
04:34 <Cepheid> If it spots me, it'll emit a black fog that induces blindness in battle and makes it hard to see.
04:39 <Cepheid> And there are weak-but-destructive FOEs on the scene. If there's light, they fall easy. If there isn't..
04:52 * DashedRainbows noms
04:52 <Cepheid> Zombie Dragon, right.
04:53 <Cepheid> It'll start with a breath like all other dragons. Given it's nature, I'm expecting full collection of status ailments, ala Malboros.
04:56 *** Padallia is now known as Padallia[50ft]
04:58 <Cepheid> ...
04:58 <Cepheid> What in the hell was that?
05:00 * Ali doesn't know!
05:01 <Cepheid> Whatever it was, I by the grace of the RNG survived it, and was able to recover. Barely. Whatever it was it wiped out 4 out of the 6 folks on the party.

06:01 <Cepheid> Murdering the dragon cut off half the price of that wand. Get my hands on it, and the dreaming dragon will easily be exceeding 2000 damage against elementally weak monsters.
06:01 <Finwe> Oiling a squaky board should remove the squeakiness and give one experience point, but the same does obviously not apply to squeaky Alies.

09:57 <Ali> I think the Factorio server is too laggy for me to continue
09:57 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, I was a bit concerned with how long the catching up phase took.
09:57 <Ali> I'm not worried about that
09:58 <Ali> I'm more worried about being able to even help with bug defense or attacks when I can barely move.

17:49 <LibrarianofHope> becuase citrus
17:50 <lunanightwindphone> Hi
17:53 <Cepheid> Plan to scrap my current sprite sheet editor tool. I'll keep it on hand to finish it at some point, but I'm thinking a simple CLI approach might work better.
17:55 <LibrarianofHope> hi luna
17:55 <LibrarianofHope> want an orange?
17:56 <Cepheid> What I'll do instead is create a directory structure. The root of the folder represents the "sprite sheet name", and each subfolder represents an animation. Within each subfolder is one or more images, exactly sized to the relevant sprite, +1 pixel for width and height. In this extra column and row is a pixel, red in colour, that is used to indicate the column and row of the sprite's "origin point".
17:56 <Cepheid> Using this setup, I'll just have the tool iterate over the entire tree, extract the origin from each image, and then copy the image to a single texture atlas, and generate the desired spritesheet information file.
17:57 <Cepheid> Makes it easier in the long run, since I no longer have to manually edit the file any time changes are made, etc.
18:01 <LibrarianofHope> is this standard?
18:01 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, sounds similar to the way Factorio generates texture pages.
18:01 <LibrarianofHope> i dont quite get it but i dabbled in sprite creation and it was complicated
18:01 <lunanightwindphone> No thanks to the orange I dont really do well with oranges
18:01 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope: It's generally a preferred approach, yes.
18:02 <Cepheid> At least, for loading.
18:02 * LibrarianofHope gives a fancy mango named carlos the fancy mango
18:02 <lunanightwindphone> Lol
18:02 <Cepheid> See, one of the things that impacts loading performance?
18:02 <Cepheid> Opening lots of files.
18:02 <LibrarianofHope> now i get it
18:02 <Cepheid> If you open hundreds upon hundreds of files, it's slow as molasses.
18:03 <Cepheid> Especially under WIndows.
18:03 <LibrarianofHope> why would this help? you are still opening them?
18:03 <LibrarianofHope> or just one at a time?
18:03 <Cepheid> The above approach combines all of them into one file.
18:03 <LibrarianofHope> which the tool switches as needed?
18:03 <Cepheid> Nah. The tool actually generates the large file to use.
18:03 <Cepheid> It's like...
18:04 <Cepheid> Compiling a bunch of information.
18:04 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Fanfiction: Zero-Sun Game [ http://tinyurl.com/yxk4l75o ]
18:04 <Cepheid> You got all these different little snippets of writing that you got written down.
18:04 <Cepheid> But it's a pain to go through each individual snippet to find what you want, because they're all over the place.
18:04 <Cepheid> So one night, you go, take all those snippets, and write them all down in a single textbook.
18:04 <Cepheid> And then in the future, you reference the textbook instead.
18:05 <LibrarianofHope> ahh
18:05 <Cepheid> The tool above still accesses all those individual snippets, yes.
18:05 <LibrarianofHope> good analogy
18:05 <Cepheid> But it generates a final textbook from those snippets, automatically.
18:05 <Cepheid> In which later on, the game can use that textbook.
18:05 <Cepheid> Rather than having to load all the small snippets.
18:05 <LibrarianofHope> you made a custom one or used something already made?
18:06 <Cepheid> Custom one in my case.
18:06 <Cepheid> I have a format I want for my game.
18:06 <LibrarianofHope> what did it end up being?
18:07 <Cepheid> Oh, the tool's not done yet. I'm just designing it. The format's already designed, though. Basically, the input is hundreds of little image(snippets), which will be combined into a single large image(textbook), with a single file that describes the contents of that large image(index in a textbook)
18:08 <LibrarianofHope> also, im still down with lore creation if you want
18:08 <Cepheid> The single file that describes the contents will tell the game where each of those hundreds of images are stored in the large image, what their "name" is, and what set of animations each image belongs to.
18:08 <Cepheid> The game uses this information to render the character on to the screen, and make them move and be all funky.
18:12 * DashedRainbows sniffs LibrarianofHope
18:18 <Cepheid> I think I should start using the rowing machine.
18:18 <Cepheid> When I get on edge, it feels like it's because I'm not moving.
18:18 <Cepheid> Which is why I think I didn't encounter this during the semester.
18:18 <Cepheid> I moved around a lot, or at least, moved around between places.
18:19 * Cepheid builds his tool in C#. Wants to write in something else for a change.
18:22 <Cepheid> Schism: You know, voices are deceiving. Caravan Palace, their lead singer's voice is... It sounds like someone in their 20s.
18:22 <Cepheid> But then you go and watch a live performance, their lead singer's not a young person. Looks to be in her late 30s or early 40s.
18:23 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trkfXB5Q9g4
18:23 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
18:23 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Caravan Place - Lone Digger 2017
18:33 <RazorSharpFang> ... place?
18:33 <RazorSharpFang> Isn't it palace?
18:45 * Cepheid shrugs. Spelling mistakes happen.
18:45 *** [AFK] is now known as PurePurple
18:45 <Cepheid> Hum, I need a todo application that can set up a todo list, with checkboxes to indicate if I've done them, and resets themselves on a daily basis.
18:46 <Cepheid> I'm getting tired of being forgetful for doing tasks.
18:46 <Cepheid> Like, every day, I have several basic things I have to do: 1) Take my pills. 2) Empty dishwasher. 3) Clean cat litter.
18:47 <RazorSharpFang> You could write your own app for that. Just gotta use java.
18:47 <Cepheid> It'd be nice if I had an app or applet that stood above all windows, and showed the list, and would not close until all the items are checked.
18:47 <Cepheid> And reset itself every day.
18:47 <Cepheid> There's lots of todo apps out there. And I mean *LOTS*
18:47 <Cepheid> But the ones I see are one-shots.
18:48 <RazorSharpFang> I made my own specifically because I wanted to be able to set recurring tasks and configure their period.
18:48 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:49 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'ma make my own.
18:49 <Cepheid> A simple app that is run by a cron daemon every day at midnight.
18:49 <RazorSharpFang> I even made mine have an applet on the home screen so it says "X overdue, Y due soon, Z due later"
18:49 <Cepheid> Yeah.
18:49 <Cepheid> I'm thinking..
18:50 <Cepheid> Use a folder for per-user configuration.
18:50 <Cepheid> The per-user configuration contains two types of config files.
18:50 <RazorSharpFang> You're talking a desktop app though ain't you?
18:51 <RazorSharpFang> I wrote an android app for my phone myself.
18:51 <Cepheid> One for recurring items. Then a subfolder that contains files using an ISO date for the filename, and in it is a list of items that are due for that date.
18:51 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm on my laptop more than my phone.
18:51 <Cepheid> So a desktop application is a better idea in my case.
18:52 <RazorSharpFang> Could always write a Xamarin cross-platform app.
18:52 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know if it'll work on linux.
18:52 <Cepheid> If it wasn't for the potential of abuse, I'd actually make a cross-platform app with a centralized location for configuration that is contacted at a set time each day.
18:52 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah there's a multitude of ways that could go wrong
18:52 <Cepheid> I'm not good with security of networks.
18:53 <Cepheid> I just make sure to keep the firewall blocking everything except what is absolutely being utilized by folks.
18:53 <Cepheid> I'd actually set up a dual-layer firewall if I had a gigabit ethernet card for my server machine.
18:54 <Cepheid> Best I could do is local-network sync.
18:54 <Cepheid> Which in my case would work.
18:54 <Cepheid> But for the most part, my laptop alone would be fine for the time being.
