00:28 <Cepheid> Hello, Tizzy.  May I help you?

00:31 * Cepheid pokes silly, sick kitty.

00:36 <Cepheid> https://www.wave3.com/2019/05/19/should-arabic-numerals-be-taught-schools-most-americans-say-no/

00:39 <Cepheid> While I know that 3,654 or so people is an incredibly small subset of the US, is it any wonder the rest of the world either mocks or doesn't see the US as the US sees itself?

00:41 <Ali> Is this survey pointless?  Most americans say no.  Surveyed 20 people

00:41 <Cepheid> Heh.

01:07 * Cepheid flops.

01:07 <Cepheid> I am not able to exercise today, as the weather is not conducive to walking.

01:07 <Cepheid> So I'm venting energy copying my mother's OCD method.

01:08 <Cepheid> That is, cleaning a room extensively.

01:08 <Cepheid> My washroom in particular.  I'm doing all the walls, this time.

01:08 <Cepheid> I'm mostly doing the walls more because of the cats, though.  Two of them have been marking the walls with fur and pheromone material.

01:10 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

01:10 <PinkieShy> Church was fun :D

01:10 <PinkieShy> Went this morning for Sunday class (new members), sunday morning worship, and sunday night bible study :D

01:11 <Cepheid> If I'm ever found in a church, it was likely against my will.

01:11 <PinkieShy> I love being in Church :3

01:12 <PinkieShy> Its so calming, lovable, and just very peaceful.

01:12 <Cepheid> Not for me.  I won't go any further into detail on the grounds that it's a dangerous, controversial topic.

01:13 <PinkieShy> Okay.

01:32 <Cepheid> I made it in about mmm, 5 hours?

01:33 <Cepheid> Though it took me 3 days to find a setup that'd allow me to make it.

01:33 <PinkieShy> Finally getting a new desk chair.

01:33 <Cepheid> Turns out .NET Core + OpenGL is hard to get working.

01:33 <PinkieShy> this old walmart $15 chair will not be used.. The one i am getting is double thickness, full back leather chair.

01:36 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I need a good desk chair myself.

01:36 <PinkieShy> It'll probably be better on my back..

01:36 <Cepheid> I'm looking at getting a high-quality office chair.

01:36 <PinkieShy> Being that it'll have a back rest instead of not really having one.

01:36 <Cepheid> I usually spend 40-50 dollars on my chairs, but I think this time I'll spend a couple hundred.

01:51 * DashedRainbows sniffs PinkieShy and wags her tail

02:10 <Cepheid> Man, so many collision types to deal with.

02:13 <Cepheid> I count... 19 different collision algorithms.

02:13 <Cepheid> Using 6 shapes.

02:14 <Cepheid> This does not include Line-Line intersection.  If I add that, it's 20

02:16 <Cepheid> Might as well though, as it then trivializes for other cases.  In fact, many of them can be implemented in terms of others.

03:07 <Cepheid> Gaaaah, I expended a lot of energy there.  Stomach threw one of it's fits.

03:07 <Cepheid> Also pretty certain I just single-bodily increased the room temperature of the bathroom from the heat generated on my body as well.

03:07 <Cepheid> When I finished up, there was water condensing on the toilet tank, and the mirror was fogging up. >.>

04:09 <PinkieShy> It seems like the levels are taking longer and longer to 100% in Banjo Kazooie now.

04:09 <PinkieShy> The swamp one.. took like an hour..

04:10 <PinkieShy> last night the stream was 2 worlds.. in a hour.

04:11 <DashedRainbows> Ooh, yeah

06:21 * DashedRainbows makes bored horse noises

06:44 <Cepheid> Given the weekend and holiday, I'm inclined to think what I just heard was fireworks, but I only heard two, they were loud, and that's it.

06:44 <Cepheid> No further sounds.

06:44 <Cepheid> And to be honest, they sound akin to the gunshots I hear occasionally on the North Woods Law show.

06:47 <Cepheid> Well, I'll know if the cops show up anywhere.

07:24 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

07:32 <Cepheid> Morning.

07:35 * ConfusionRift waves.

07:46 <Cepheid> How goes it?

07:47 <ConfusionRift> Going alright. Got out of work, and just unwinding

07:48 <ConfusionRift> Was also helping a friend with something just a bit ago.

07:49 <Cepheid> Ah.

07:49 <Cepheid> My body aches, I feel tired, and I feel feverish, myself.  o3o

07:49 <Cepheid> I think I pushed myself too hard today.

07:49 * ConfusionRift lightly patpats Cepheid.

07:52 <ConfusionRift> That usually means that yes, you kinda drained that last few bits of energy.

07:53 <ConfusionRift> Using Ribbon as a mallet is hilarious. :P

07:53 <ConfusionRift> Especially using the air dash, as Erina is on Ribbon as she flies.

07:54 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-360sli.charlton.irccloud.com)

07:59 <Cepheid> Least it's a more viable explanation for the flight part of the Rumi and Lilith fights.

08:04 <ConfusionRift> Funny you say that. Lilith was the first boss I tried it on, and BAM, MAX rank. :P

08:05 <ConfusionRift> Also, yes, Erina is on Ribbon the whole time. And then you notice that Ribbon is also part of the barrier, so... two Ribbons!

08:06 <Cepheid> You can fight Ribbon in postpostgame.  With Ribbon on hand.

08:08 <Cepheid> In fact, had I not consumed my sedative, I would go try fighting Ribbon SP right now.

08:22 <Cepheid> In other news I started a side project and made considerable progress on it.  A small danmaku/bullet hell engine.  Got basic bullets going, and a wave pattern emitter going.

08:27 <ConfusionRift> Niiice.

08:32 <Cepheid> Next up, input.  Should be simple enough.  Jus

08:32 <Cepheid> Just need movement, careful movement, and fire.

08:33 <Cepheid> For now, anyway.

12:07 * Schism writes Spell Card 1: Odd Satellite. Bullets shoot out from three different sources, which rotate around the player -- and bullets and satellites are perfectly harmless as long as they don't move. But there are more on the field.

12:13 <Schism> Spell Card 2 would be Angry Satellite, and will hit the player if they stand still, but so long as they keep moving, they can get away from that.

12:18 * Esidisi doots at Schism

12:18 <Schism> Too much Jojo.  >.>

12:18 <Esidisi> and?

12:19 <Lumindio> fine, something a bit more subtle

12:20 <ADragonDreaming> I assumed it was a reference to ACDC.

12:21 <Lumindio> That's what the name Esidisi is a pun of, yes

22:04 <Cepheid> Symbol?

22:05 <LibrarianofHope> on your twittee

22:07 <Cepheid> Oh, that.

22:07 <Cepheid> Flat-shaded representation of a device I designed for a character ages ago.

22:09 <Cepheid> It's a central core, representing stored energy extracted from the physical body, which is itself a continually-running generator, surrounded by a control ring, which itself is surrounded by a number of blades that draw upon the stored energy to be utilized as mind-controlled bits/weapons.

22:09 <Cepheid> You know what I find interesting about movie advertisemenets right now?

22:09 <Cepheid> There's a major movie being released at the end of this month, one that follows up on a very-well-received movie from a few years ago, that hasn't been advertised anywhere outside of movie theatres.

22:10 <LibrarianofHope> which is?

22:10 <Cepheid> Godzilla King of the Monsters

22:11 <LibrarianofHope> it has a bit of adversimnent, not very agresive

22:11 <Cepheid> I've only seen it in theatres.

22:11 <Cepheid> I have not seen it mentioned anywhere outside of that.

22:11 <LibrarianofHope> considering everyone was avengers they might just not had bothered

22:12 <Cepheid> I only saw the advertisement in theatres because my mother wanted to go see Avengers Endgame for her Mother's Day "gift"

22:12 <Cepheid> So we saw it the other day.

22:12 <Cepheid> In any case, my parents are taking me to see the Godzilla movie for my birthday.

22:12 <LibrarianofHope> thtas a peculiar gift

22:12 <Cepheid> That being next Monday.

22:12 <Cepheid> My mother likes the Marvel movies.

22:12 <LibrarianofHope> congrats

22:12 <Cepheid> Not a huge comics reader, but she loves watching the movies.

22:12 <LibrarianofHope> im spending all week from tomorrow at a hospital

22:12 <Cepheid> Oh?

22:13 <LibrarianofHope> my dad gets addmiteed tommorow, hos surgery is on wedensday

22:14 <Cepheid> Ah.

22:14 <LibrarianofHope> i have to stay all day in the hospital while he gets the surgery in the vent im needed for something

22:14 <Cepheid> Much as he might be an ass to you at times, I still do wish him luck.  I wouldn't be surprised if, after the surgery, he mellowed out a tad.

22:14 <LibrarianofHope> yeah

22:15 <Cepheid> Chronic pain can make people irritable and snappy.

22:15 <LibrarianofHope> best case scenario i just spend most of the day reading

22:15 <Cepheid> It's why I choose to take aleve on a daily basis despite the health concerns.

22:15 <Cepheid> All the symptoms of my sinus infection make me into an agitated, aggravated, pissy little monster.

22:16 <LibrarianofHope> im kinda repressing my anxiety, i need to be calm

22:16 <LibrarianofHope> im good at mental compartmentalization, so i can manage

22:19 <LibrarianofHope> im thinking of kickstaring/patreoning my novel, but i have no idea what perks i could give

22:19 <LibrarianofHope> any suggestion cepheid?

22:23 <Cepheid> I haven't got a danged clue.

22:23 <Cepheid> Novel's are a different beast from games.

22:24 <Cepheid> Myself, I'm not big on kickstarting.  Patreon and Ko-Fi, yeah, though more Ko-Fi than Patreon 'cause Patreon keeps changing things around for the worse.

22:24 <Cepheid> Basically, reveal/release something relatively "complete" to show that yeah, you're working hard on it, then advertise that you're accepting donations through X service.

22:24 <Cepheid> If you choose to do perks, well...

22:25 <Cepheid> Say you limit yourself to writing a chapter a month for your story.

22:25 <Cepheid> If a perk limit is reached, the next month, you could offer to do an extra chapter.  It increases your load, but... yeah.

22:55 <Cepheid> This region's pretty peaceful though, this is the first time since 2006 or so, that I've had something like this happen here.

22:56 <Cepheid> I thought something was off about the sounds last night.  Sounded way too loud, and the echo was subdued compared to fireworks.

22:57 <Cepheid> They sounded more like the gunfire you occasionally hear on North Woods Law.  Hunting rifle type sounds.

22:57 <LibrarianofHope> bleh, that night was scary

22:57 <Schism> Crap.  So that /was/ firearms... hopefully that won't keep happening.

22:58 <LibrarianofHope> we had a guy get killed directly in front of my house due to drug grudges

22:58 <Cepheid> Well, it's being investigated, so..

22:58 <Cepheid> If the person's caught, I'd not want jailtime for 'em though.  There's stuff around here that needs doing, cleaning mostly.  I'd like for them to have to do a few weeks community service, picking up trash left behind by people in the neighbourhood.

22:59 <LibrarianofHope> dont worry too much, you are not involved in any meanigfull way,. just be carefull for a while

22:59 <Cepheid> Oh, I'm not worried.

22:59 <Cepheid> It's entirely probable it was a victoria day celebration gone wrong.

23:04 <Cepheid> I'm a fighter, but not in the sense of fighting wars.

23:04 <LibrarianofHope> makes sense, you are tired of war

23:04 <SunsetShimmer> I think cepheid means just the unbridled and unchannelable rage

23:06 <Cepheid> Heh.

23:06 <Cepheid> It's why I'm considering martial arts.

23:06 *** Joins: Pony|56383 (Pony56383@Pony-lkvpl9.254-net.sccoast.net)

23:06 <Cepheid> I mean, obviously, it's about self-control, which is one of the reasons I want to take it.

23:06 <Cepheid> BUt on the other side of things?

23:06 <LibrarianofHope> why not medieval martial arts?

23:06 <Cepheid> There's sparring.  Agreed-upon fighting, with rules.

23:06 <LibrarianofHope> its a real thing, you might like it

23:06 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope:  I want to take up Kendo.

23:07 <Finwe> It seems the shell server I use has been rebooted.

23:07 <Cepheid> So Japanese samurai swordfighting.

23:07 <LibrarianofHope> from what i know its not good for rage related things

23:07 * Finwe hats on LibrarianofHope.

23:08 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope, my rage can be contained and handled in various ways.

23:08 <LibrarianofHope> but whatas better, self control or letting yourself rage until it stops?

23:08 <LibrarianofHope> its an honest question,m i dont know

23:08 <Cepheid> That's pretty much it, yeah.  I want to learn self-control, and have a safe method of venting.

23:08 * LibrarianofHope gives paco the fancy mango to finwe

23:08 <Cepheid> From what I understand..

23:09 <Cepheid> Kendo trains students to scream and shout when they attack, basically focusing their fighting spirit in a strike.

23:09 <Cepheid> So I could apply my rage there.

23:09 <Cepheid> Another place would be against punching bags or dummy targets.

23:09 <Cepheid> Where I could apply as much physical strength as desired.

23:09 <Cepheid> And lastly, and this one is likely to be controversial.

23:10 <Cepheid> I have a sparring session in which I remove the body armour.  I keep the headgear on for face and head safety, and maybe something to protect the crotch region, but the rest is bare with clothing.

23:10 <Cepheid> One thing that subdues my rage is pain.

23:10 <Cepheid> It's why I vent on solid objects like cement pillars and walls.

23:11 <Cepheid> I injure myself non-lethally, and the pain I feel calms me down.

23:11 <LibrarianofHope> you are a berserker in the truest sense of the word

23:11 <LibrarianofHope> like historically acurrate

23:12 <Cepheid> I think it has more to do with the fact that I consider the pain to be punishment.

23:12 <Cepheid> Most of the time, when I lose control of my rage, it's often because I felt I did something wrong, and deserve punishment for it, among other things.

23:13 <Cepheid> If you see me punching a wall, cement pillar or engaging in self-destructive behaviour that's non-lethal, it's probably because I feel I've done something horribly wrong.

23:13 <Cepheid> These days, it's not as bad, because of my meds.

23:13 <Cepheid> Hell, Schism can verify this even though I haven't been doing voice chat.

23:13 <Cepheid> The example he can verify is when I'm gaming and doing frustrating stuff over and over.

23:14 <Cepheid> I spent four days on a single boss in Rabi-Ribi, and I've died countless times, some of them to extremely frustrating situations.

23:14 <Cepheid> And yet, I always utter some curse or indication of frustration, then literally seconds later "Okay, I'm good." and continue.

23:15 <Cepheid> Like, the rage just spikes because I'm annoyed, but then I just stop, flatten the emotion, and I'm good again.

23:15 <LibrarianofHope> another topic

23:15 <LibrarianofHope> you making a bullet hell?

23:15 <Cepheid> Yeah, this is kinda not a nice topic to discuss, yeah.  Anyhoo..

23:15 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm making a bullet hell as a side project from my other project.

23:16 <Cepheid> Playing Rabi-Ribi, listening to Touhou and Rabi-Ribi music, and watching minusT's Brambly Boundaries video got me wanting to code one.

23:16 <LibrarianofHope> i kinda have a half baked character you could use

23:16 <Cepheid> I would have started on it sooner, but I had to spend 4 or 5 days figuring out how to use OpenGL in C#.

23:16 <LibrarianofHope> i cant fit it on my lore correctly, might as well get a use of it

23:18 <Cepheid> I'm not entirely sure on the type of bullet hell I'm going for though.

23:18 <Cepheid> There's two types, as far as I'm concerned, now.

23:18 <LibrarianofHope> touhou and ribi?

23:18 <Cepheid> There's the standard side- or top-down vie bullet hell games.  R-Type, Touhou, CAVE games.

23:19 <Cepheid> And then there's the type that Rabi-Ribi is.

23:19 <Cepheid> Which is a new style.

23:19 <Cepheid> It's a combination of Metroidvania/Platformer and Bullet Hell.

23:19 *** Quits: SweetPicklesYea (SweetPickle@Pony-hkusnn.pa.comcast.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

23:19 <Cepheid> As for how this is "distinct" it adds a new element to the standard bullet hell gameplay

23:19 <Cepheid> Gravity.

23:20 <Cepheid> The thing about standard bullet hells is that your position is static when you're not touching the controls.

23:20 <Cepheid> You don't move.

23:20 <LibrarianofHope> you could do cute cute , terryfing or "wtf" in lore terms

23:20 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, you jump in a platformer, gravity will take over.  Your movement upwards slows, then increases downwards.

23:20 <LibrarianofHope> last one look up cho aniki

23:20 <Cepheid> Of course, that doesn't mean it's exclusive to platformers.

23:21 <Cepheid> There's a case where gravity appeared in Touhou.

23:22 *** Princess-Luna_ is now known as SunsetShimmer

23:22 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o SunsetShimmer

23:22 <Cepheid> In the game, this is represented by being pulled towards Utsuho's artificial star.

23:23 <Cepheid> Based on my understanding the mythological aspect, and the mostly-female cast.

23:24 <Cepheid> A lot of it too is the various natures of the characters.  Many of them represent extremes of certain tropes or combinations of tropes.

23:24 <Cepheid> Many of which are open to fandom interpretation, which then creates interesting personas.

23:24 <LibrarianofHope> and the jokes

23:24 <Cepheid> Like Koishi is regularly depicted as a knife-murderer, apparently.

23:24 <LibrarianofHope> cirno dumb is a classic

23:28 <Cepheid> I also think Touhou has a lot of appeal primarily because it's distinct from the conventional bullet hell games in terms of the bullet patterns.

23:28 <Cepheid> CAVE games have a distinctness to them with their bullet patterns.

23:28 <Cepheid> In the case of CAVE games, it's more about reflexes.  For Touhou, it's more about positioning.  And scoring is handled differently in both cases, too.

23:29 <Cepheid> Every attack in Touhou generally has a "safe" spot to work from.

23:29 <Cepheid> Either where you stand still, or you have enough space to graze through bullets.

23:40 <Schism> Yup.

23:40 <Cepheid> I burned a possibly profitable bridge, but..

23:52 <Cepheid> Schism:  It's less that it's pigeonholing, and more that I don't know how to combine the conflicting views together in a sensible manner, because I don't agree with either side of the issue involving those views.
