04:08 * Ali licks Schism

04:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Newbie Artist Training Grounds IX: Makeup Day [ http://tinyurl.com/y4ynwlfp ]

04:09 * DashedRainbows offers Ali an Ali plushie

04:09 * Ali clings to it.

04:10 * Schism puts a plush cat on Ali's head. "Gah. I'm getting over things gradually."

04:11 <Ali> Its ok Schism

04:11 <Ali> Just Terraria is still in a heavy stalled mode right now.

04:11 <Ali> Heck I've been fishing up crates just to hope to make entering hardmode easier when WoF does go down.

04:12 <Schism> I noticed you got the rabbit from the fisher.

04:12 <Ali> Just bait is always a pain in the arse

04:12 <Ali> Yeah, though sadly the mount is garbo to the slime one

04:12 <Schism> The best way to acquire bait is to break all the background objects in the Jungle.  The bait there is of particularly high quality.

04:13 <Schism> And those objects do respawn regularly.

04:13 <Ali> Well I've been using the flareboots combo

04:13 <Schism> If you do it during a rainstorm, they also multiply, as I recall.

04:13 <Ali> Where you equip the boots, stand on grass and shoot a flare down

04:14 <Ali> Then watch it rain grasshoppers and worms

04:14 <Schism> Mmm.  But their bait strength is comparatively low.

04:14 <Schism> You can make some enchanted nightcrawlers if you have a surplus of fallen stars.

04:15 * Ali nod nods

04:15 <Ali> This is why we can use you back!  But don't rush it

04:15 <Ali> The herb garden isn't doing so well either?  I don't know, I'm not good with herbing

04:16 <Schism> I'll drop in soon as I feel better.  Bleh.  Admittedly, I also kinda pushed myself in the days before I got a little ill.

04:17 <Schism> It so happens that another game I play came out with an expansion, and... I have this thing where I go into excess, doing one thing to exhaustion.

04:17 <Ali> Its ok Schism, take your time

04:18 * Schism hugs the Ali.

04:18 * Ali hugs Schism back

04:18 * Schism also provides Ali with a slice of pineapple upside-down cake.

04:20 <Schism> Hmm.  Cepheid, you still booping around?

04:21 <Schism> Eh, second thought, never mind.  A brief coda isn't quite the same thing as an extended Touhou reference.

05:20 * DashedRainbows plays with her Ali action figure

05:20 * Ali squeaks

05:20 * Schism plays with ... action figures, of Cadence and Dark Helmet.

05:24 <DashedRainbows> Comes with a miniature hammer

05:27 <DashedRainbows> You're banned, you're banned, everypony is banned!

05:27 * Schism puts on Spaceballs.

05:28 <Schism> Shining Armor playing the role of Dark Helmet amuses me.

05:28 <DashedRainbows> 0.o

05:28 <Schism> A quirk of the time loops.

05:28 <Schism> DashedRainbows, there's an infinite time loop fic.  It's worth reading.

05:29 <DashedRainbows> Ooh which

05:29 <PinkieShy> DAng it :/

05:29 <PinkieShy> I think i got an aluminum allergy to the ones in deodorant..

05:29 <Schism> Here you go.  https://www.fimfiction.net/story/98568/mlp-time-loops

05:29 <PinkieShy> Went back to using one of the white coloured sticks and I'm itching up a storm.. Looked at the one i was buying and it doesn't have aluminum at all..

05:31 <DashedRainbows> Oof

05:35 <PinkieShy> Why Aluminum chemical is in Deodorant is beyond me..

05:36 <Schism> Aluminium oxide has long been used as a deodorant.

05:36 <Schism> For example, it's used in leather treatment.

05:37 <PinkieShy> The one i am using has Some other type..

05:37 <Schism> No, that's alumen.

05:37 <Cepheid> Tried to make my way to a moon in Space Engineers.

05:37 <PinkieShy> The word after Aluminum is a Z

05:37 <Cepheid> Ended in atmosphere of planet.  And in a crater.

05:37 <Schism> Aluminium zircon?

05:37 <PinkieShy> Yes.

05:38 <PinkieShy> Zirconium.

05:38 <PinkieShy> It says Active ingredient is Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY

05:41 <PinkieShy> It didn't start right away after starting to use it..

05:42 <PinkieShy> I've been using it almost a week now.. so Yea.. Maybe should mention it to my Dr on the 26th i guess..

05:43 <ADragonDreaming> We'll have to share pictures of the monstrosities we create at some potin.

05:45 * Ali rolls around

05:47 * DashedRainbows hugs the actual Ali

05:47 * Ali squeaks

05:48 <DashedRainbows> This one's squeaky

05:49 * PinkieShy hugs Ali and DashedRainbows

05:50 * Ali leans into the hugs

05:50 * DashedRainbows boops PinkieShy with her horn

05:56 <Finwe> o3o

05:56 <Finwe> Morning, everypony.

05:57 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and DashedRainbows; Messrs Cepheid, PinkieShy and Schism.

05:57 * DashedRainbows sniffs Finwe

05:57 * Finwe doffs his hat.

05:57 * Ali also sniffs Finwe

05:57 * Finwe smells of yoghurt.

05:57 * DashedRainbows chews on Finwe's hat

06:01 * Finwe flailyhooves!

06:01 <Finwe> D:

06:02 * DashedRainbows chews more

06:04 * Finwe gives his hat to DerpyBot for safekeeping.

06:04 <Finwe> !hat

06:04 <DerpyBot> May I take your hat, sir?

06:04 <DerpyBot> May I take your hat?

06:04 <Finwe> Eeeyup.

06:04 * DashedRainbows cries

06:07 <Finwe> PinkieShy: Those aluminium compounds close the sweat ducts.

06:08 <PinkieShy> I'm going to try to continue usage and see if the itch gets worse and if it does.. Stop use and just tell my doctor..

06:09 <Finwe> "Aluminum compounds are critical to the success of antiperspirant deodorants. The ions of aluminum compounds are drawn into the epidermis. This causes cells to fill with water and swell, blocking the ducts that secrete sweat, HowStuffWorks explained. Common compounds used as active ingredients in antiperspirant include aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium tricholorohydrex glycine, aluminum

06:09 <Finwe> chlorohydrate, aluminum hydroxybromid."

06:09 <PinkieShy> Degree's website says the Artic Edge (The one i was using) Doesn't hae Alumnium at all..

06:09 <PinkieShy> The Extreme Blast does though

06:10 <PinkieShy> Their website does say though all Antiperspirant deos will have Alminum in it..

06:11 <Finwe> Yup, for the effect described above.

06:13 <Finwe> Aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine should have chemical properties rather similar to those of aluminium zirconium trichlorohydrex glycine.

06:16 * Ali head explodes

06:18 * PinkieShy hands Ali a math sheet that says 0+0=8, 1+1=7, 0+1+1+1=?

06:18 * PinkieShy looks around

06:18 * Ali boops PinkieShy as she's already done several of them for them

06:18 <PinkieShy> That from that horror escape world the other day was interesting :P

06:18 <PinkieShy> the 0+1+1+1 is simply 97

06:28 <Finwe> With those premises, yes.

06:32 <Finwe> Because 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 11*0 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 11.25 * (0 + 0) + 1/8 * 8 + (1 + 1) = 11.25 * 8 + 1/8 * (0 + 0) + 7 = 90 + 0 + 7 = 97.

06:32 <Finwe> o3o

06:32 * Finwe boops PinkieShy.

06:36 * Finwe also noms on Ali.

06:36 <Finwe> Breakfast tiem? :3

06:37 * Ali squeakies

06:43 <Cepheid> Ali, you and Rifty are free to tackle Mr walk without me.  I'll hunt him down another time.  I'm gonna be busy tomorrow, so...

06:43 <Ali> Understandable dear

06:44 <Finwe> Who's Mr Walk?

06:45 <Finwe> Someone who spends his time mostly promenading?

06:45 <Ali> Finwe, typo, he ment Mr Wall

06:45 <Ali> Which is the Wall of Flesh in Terraria

06:45 <Cepheid> ^

06:47 <Finwe> Ali: YMM "he meant"

08:08 <Schism> Hey Koopz, you here?

08:09 <Schism> Dunno if they are.  @_@

08:10 <Schism> Finwe: Turns out that a forest fire in Germany has intruded upon Brandenberg, a site which has a lot of unexploded munitions buried in the ground.

08:11 <Schism> Brandenburg*

08:11 <Finwe> How appropriate.

08:12 <Schism> Yes, well.  Go dancing on a minefield during a firestorm and see how appropriate you feel it is.

08:13 <Finwe> They have fire in the name of the state.

08:13 <Schism> Ah.  I should note that it's less munition, and more ammunition.

08:14 <Finwe> Brandenburg means roughtly "Fire castle".

08:14 * Schism desks.

08:17 <Finwe> *roughly

08:18 <Schism> Asked a friend of mine, and he replied, "Burning fort."

08:35 <Schism> (Spoilers.)

08:36 <Schism> Oh, and hi.  o3o

08:37 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift.

08:37 <Finwe> o7

08:38 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

08:39 <ConfusionRift> Schism: This is pretty good.

08:39 <Schism> Wait til it gets going.

08:41 <Schism> And then, yes, phase 2 is entirely different.

08:44 <ConfusionRift> They both are still good. It just bothers me that there are some really good songs in the game they could've on more action style games.

08:44 <Schism> Oh, I assure you, there's a LOT of movement involved in that fight.  If you're not on the ball, you're dead.

08:46 <Schism> And, really, for most of the high-level fights, you have to be on the move frequently.

08:49 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

08:49 <ConfusionRift> You know how I feel about the game. :P Still, I will give full props for the music.

08:50 <Schism> Well then, have some smooth jazz.  (Spoilers again.)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcHjxOKN0Pk

08:52 <ConfusionRift> Huh, the game rewards you for helping others who have not completed the quest.

08:52 <Schism> Yup.  In a variety of ways, too.

08:53 <Schism> Extra experience, extra reward tokens, and a reroll on a weekly drop.

08:53 * ConfusionRift wonders if that's why his other friends keep inviting him to play the game. :P

08:53 <Schism> That's probably part of it.  They also likely want some silver chocobo feathers.  :P  But probably they want you to have fun with them.

08:54 <ConfusionRift> Then again, I have been slowly going back to reclusion. I try not to, I really do, but... just things...

08:55 <ConfusionRift> In any case, this is a nice piece. I do like some jazz, and this is noexception.

08:55 <ConfusionRift> It's heavy on the piano, which is my weakness. :P

08:58 <Schism> I like the random radio signal stuff at the start, too.

08:59 <Schism> There's a very Rapture theme to the whole area.

09:00 <ConfusionRift> I do like it too. A very nice touch. Like a radio playing from really far away, slowly getting reception to a station abandoned long ago, but is still active.

09:00 <ConfusionRift> Yeah.

09:02 <Schism> And here's the theme for the rest of the area.  Which also includes a lot of piano.  Again, MAJOR SPOILERS.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW7b8Mo_SFU

09:14 <Schism> Oh, that's a subzone within the 6th zone of the game, which is the finale.

09:15 <ConfusionRift> Why do I get this Zanarkand feel from it?

09:15 <Schism> Probably because that's intended.

09:16 <Schism> I got a D'ni feel from it, but yeah.

09:17 <ConfusionRift> I have only played 7, 10, 10-2, and a wheeeee bit of one of the online ones.

09:18 <Schism> Either way, great music.

09:19 <ConfusionRift> It really is.

09:42 <Schism> Oh, ConfusionRift: (more spoilers) here's a theme you should recognize.  At least slightly.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am8Dw354rOE

09:50 <ConfusionRift> It does kinda sound familiar, for some reason.

09:50 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz_f9B4pPtg

09:50 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

09:50 <ConfusionRift> Yep! There it iiiiiisss!

09:51 <Schism> And it's thematically appropriate, too.  o3o

09:53 <ConfusionRift> "Let's go to that hill, and watch from afar! It would be nice." | "We cannot." | "Huh? Why?" |Maybe you have not noticed, but as you can see. (ducks) We are surrounded by limiting barrier bushes." | "By what?" | (sighs) "Game limits. We can't go over the bushes." | "Oh phooey."

09:54 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky \/ Nina Kaptsova - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy \/ 2010

12:41 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me. This guy I sometimes watch his videos was playing this game, a raid I believe. He was checking chat and talking to others and such during the intro cutscene. He was watching the cutscene while his team skipped it and were already in the event. Once the scene finishes, he runs to the event and is already locked out of it. No worries. His whole team got wiped hard. :P

14:19 <Cepheid> I hate that about cutscenes.  People skipping and not waiting.

14:19 <ADragonDreaming> unless everybody has seen it

14:19 <ADragonDreaming> don't skip the scene.

14:20 <Cepheid> You can skip and also wait.  FF14 keeps track and shows who is still watching.

14:21 <Cepheid> In certain instances it even locks everyone in place until they are all ready.

14:40 <Stormspark> I do not skip cutscenes.  I've gotten locked out of the final dungeon fight (now, it gives you an option to teleport in) because of it

14:41 <Stormspark> I do have it set to skip cutscenes I've already seen...but if there's a new person watching it I'll wait for them

14:41 <Stormspark> there's one of the level 50 raids where they actually disabled the ability to skip cutscenes because people were skipping all of them and rushing it so fast it was impossible for new players to even see them

14:42 <Stormspark> granted, that particular one was pretty badly designed by multiple player standards because it has long cutscenes every 30 seconds.  Do that stuff in single player scenarios, raids should NOT have cutscenes that long.  It's the one where you fight the woman with the white magitek armor at the end, can't remember her name or the name of the place now, it's been too long

17:34 <Cepheid> You don't.

17:34 <Cepheid> Such headphones are... not entirely useful for people with sensitivities to noise.

17:34 <LibrarianofHope> im very sensitive to sound too, i can relate

17:35 <LibrarianofHope> we rarely have fireworks here, and not that bad

17:36 <LibrarianofHope> is it sensitive to sound in general or just loud sound ali?

17:40 * Schism also boops LibrarianofHope with an ice cream sandwich.

17:40 * Schism also ALSO boops Cepheid with some freezie-pops.

17:40 * Cepheid is actually relatively cool right now. Not upstairs in bedroom, so..

17:41 <Schism> Ah.  Your house also has AC.

17:41 <Cepheid> Fans and a low-BCU AC, yes.

17:41 <Cepheid> ER, BPU?  I forget what the unit is.

17:41 <Schism> BHU?  Eh, either way, I get the gist.

17:41 <Cepheid> Alas, it is not in the best place for me.

17:41 <Schism> This building very much does not have AC.  So, fans are in operation.

17:42 <Cepheid> My bedroom is on the third floor, generates a massive amount of heat, and as we all know..

17:42 <Cepheid> Heat rises.

17:42 <Cepheid> Well, hot air.

17:42 * Schism nods, on the third (and uppermost) floor of the building.

17:42 <Cepheid> That said I'm not sure bringing my PC downstairs would help at all.

17:42 <Cepheid> As it is, it gives off a metric ton of heat.

17:43 <Cepheid> Not sure what exactly is generating all the heat, even under idle conditions, though.

17:43 <LibrarianofHope> ever tried liquid cooling?

17:43 * DashedRainbows flops on Ali and hugs her favorite RD plushie

17:43 <LibrarianofHope> it looks cool

17:43 <Cepheid> No, and I'm not sure it'd be viable for my system.

17:48 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o SunsetShimmer

17:50 <Cepheid> All liquid cooling does is pull heat away from components better and faster, so the components themselves remain cooler more easily.  The heat generated by the components still has to be dissipated somewhere.

17:51 <Cepheid> Which means even with liquid cooling, my bedroom will still heat up.

17:51 <Cepheid> If I wanted to control that, I'd have to create a special enclosure that pulls in air for the computer to use, and then vents the air out my window.

17:53 <LibrarianofHope> would that be hard?

18:00 <Cepheid> Eeehhh...

18:00 <Cepheid> Hard to say.

18:00 <Cepheid> I can design it, but I'd have to account for a lot of things.

18:02 <LibrarianofHope> if you ever do let me see a picture please. seems usefuull

18:02 <Cepheid> Essentually, it'd be a box large enough to contain my computer, with a hinged lid on top so I can power the computer(Or take those extra switches I salvaged from my old case and create some buttons on the frame), with covered intakes, and an outlet which I can attach a flexible tube to, which I can then attach to my window.

18:02 <Cepheid> Problem is, it's entirely possible for the air to simply flow back into my room, so there's no guarantee it'd work.

18:03 <Cepheid> My cat wants my attention, I'll be back in a bit.

18:08 <Cepheid> Or not.

18:08 <LibrarianofHope> im debating if i go to the hobby store to get some stuff now and some tomorrow or just everything tommorow

18:09 <LibrarianofHope> im bored so it feels like a good distraction

18:09 * Cepheid checks the dimensions of PC case. o3o

18:09 <Cepheid> 205mmx444mmx464mm

18:10 <Cepheid> Because of the intake fans, I'd need to add a bit of clearance in the front.

18:13 <Cepheid> A single piece of 48" by 96" piece of particle board would be enough to create a frame.

18:14 <Cepheid> And that is...

18:14 <Cepheid> $22.

18:16 <Cepheid> Would I need to insulate, I wonder?

18:44 <Cepheid> Hum.  31cm from back of case to the very front of the top outlet fan vents.  44.5cm from the top of the case to the floor, including the height provided by the feet.  20.5cm from side to side, including the panels and their outcrops.

18:45 <Cepheid> 200mm fan for pulling air out of the enclosure, that means..

18:46 <Cepheid> 7.874 inch vent on the frame.

18:48 <Cepheid> Largest flexduct I can find is 8 inch.  But to be honest that's kinda large.

18:49 <Cepheid> The next smallest size is 6 inches.

18:49 <Cepheid> Obviously, the enclosure has to be slightly larger than the PC itself as well, to allow for airflow in the first place.  Also needs to be a grommet somewhere as well, for cables to in.

19:22 <Koopz> beat the crap out of that bard, came back

19:23 <Koopz> transported a 5m big lantern in my magic bag

19:23 <Koopz> gotta admit

19:23 <Schism> Don't be ridiculous.  You stuffed it into a thumb-sized canvas bag.

19:23 <Koopz> i did the dungeon without the gear

19:23 <Koopz> forgot to pick it up

19:23 <Schism> It's easy to miss if you're not paying attentino.

19:23 <Schism> attention.*

19:23 <Koopz> but i did before queueing for the last boss today

19:25 <Schism> That's fortunate at least.  Doing that boss with an iLvl of 410 would have been... well.

19:26 <Koopz> i really like what they've done to the bard

19:26 <Koopz> things got easier

19:26 <Koopz> no more TP

19:26 <Schism> Yeah, I haven't done THAT much with the class, but removing TP, and adjusting Straight Shot like that...

19:26 <Koopz> they could've removed the MP bar too

19:27 <Koopz> after removing the single spell that actually used MP

19:27 <Schism> BP.  Bard Points.  o3o

19:27 <Koopz> but without TP i can spam AoE like maniac now

19:27 <Koopz> i love it

19:27 <Schism> Been doing that with Monk, it's glorious.

19:27 <Schism> I am annoyed that they removed the MP-regenerating role action.

19:28 <Koopz> mine vanished too, obviously

19:28 <Schism> Oh, I meant the ranged physical DPS one.

19:28 <Koopz> ah

19:28 <Schism> Then again, with dancers filling every DPS slot, it would've quickly led to healers never running out of MP.

19:29 * Schism casts { Protect! } ...wait, no.

19:30 <Koopz> at least i can still give the speed buff to my party, can kick spells and i got a new spell that prevents me from getting thrown around the room

19:31 <Schism> Oh yeah, head graze is more useful than ever.

19:31 <Schism> And really?  Ranged DPS didn't have an equivalent to Arm's Length before?

19:32 <Koopz> nope

19:32 <Schism> Huh.  I guess I never noticed because I never did Levi/Sophia as a BRD.

19:32 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/b8idzoR.gifv

19:32 <Koopz> and don't forget the ridiculous Chakra heal spell that heals like 2% of your max health and has a 2-minute cooldown

19:33 <Schism> Pff, yeah.

19:33 <Schism> Question, am I the only MNK who ever uses Mantra?  

19:34 <Schism> I have NEVER seen anyone else use it right before a party-wide hammer.

19:34 <Koopz> i tried running Sohm Al (hard) solo because that was basically the point where i couldn't clear solo anymore, still can't due to bosses doing procentual damage

19:34 <Koopz> can't tell, i don't know a monk owo

19:35 <Lumindia> Schism: As a Warrior, I'll drop a Shake It Off before a raidwide

19:35 <Schism> I've seen that a few times, and I always appreciate it.

19:36 <Lumindia> and with Nascent Flash, I'll usually drop that on a rezzer

19:36 <Schism> I'll always pop Mantra before a stack hits.

19:36 <Koopz> ...i seem to have a spell called Troubadour

19:36 <Koopz> reducing incoming damage by 10% for 15s

19:37 <Schism> Oh, that sounds like Barricade.

19:37 <Koopz> groupwide though

19:37 * Schism nodnods.

19:37 <Koopz> despite it residing in one of my bars, i never used it xd

19:38 <Schism> One of the new MNK abilities seems useless on its surface.  It prevents Greased Lightning from resetting and bolsters it over time, but during its use, you can't move, you can't even TURN.

19:38 <Schism> It took me a bit to realize, "Oh, right, this is what you use when a boss is doing their great big mode change."

19:40 <Koopz> there's 2 more spells that sound pretty useful imo but i never used them either

19:40 <Schism> I am also annoyed that MNK now only has one (1) stun.  And no actual interrupt.

19:40 <Schism> Bleh.  Gonna have to poke at BRD later.  :P  Right now, my ShB classes are WHM, BLM, WAR, and of course MNK.

19:41 <Schism> And no, I don't care about GNB or DNC.

19:41 <Koopz> one of them increasing healing efficiency by 20% for me or a party member, the other one removing a negative status or adding a shield that prevents me or a party member to get a status

19:42 <Schism> I think both of those were there before, yeah.  And each is very situational.

19:42 <Koopz> yeah

19:42 <Koopz> all 3 of them have been there already

19:42 <Koopz> i just never used them because the healers apparently didn't need help :P

19:43 * Schism sobs, though. "Squeenix, why did you have to take away my Aero 3?"

19:43 <Schism> You might as well drop it on a tank right before the boss does a tankbuster.  It's there for a reason.

19:45 <Koopz> WoW was a lot different in that matter, everyone in the raid was told what to do when, the CD order was assigned, people with interrupt abilities were assigned to mobs. The entire group of 25/10 people had to become one single flawlessly working machine

19:45 <Schism> o/` Here's a boss again, facing tanks again, heal them up real quick fa la la la la la...

19:45 <Schism> Koopz: Talked to the Minstreling Wanderer yet?

19:46 <Koopz> "How the heck did you get here?!"

19:46 <Schism> "Of course YOU would find a way to pass through the Void." "I'm sure I don't know what you mean."

19:48 <Koopz> all the ex-wow-players would get PTSD flashbacks

19:49 <Cepheid> Calling it now.  When I get my futon, all the breathing troubles I had in my room go away.

19:50 <Schism> I'll believe it.  And crossing my fingers for you there, Cephy.

19:50 <Schism> Koopz: The sarcastic responses in this expansion were absolutely amazing.

19:50 <Schism> Though I couldn't in good faith use ALL of them.  Some were just mean.

19:51 <Koopz> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPBlDOaio1I

19:51 <Koopz> yeah

19:52 <Koopz> a few times i think i got trolled by Square Enix though due to the NPCs responding to me with a silent nod after choosing a line

19:52 <Cepheid> It is due to arrive on the 20th, alas.

19:56 <Schism> Oh.  Koopz, how many tries did it take you to clear the DPS check on the level 73 trial?

19:56 <Schism> Lumindia, too.  o3o

19:59 <Koopz> hmm Titania?

19:59 <Schism> Yeah, that DPS check.

19:59 <Koopz> 1st try down

19:59 <Schism> Lucky.  It took me at least 5 goes.

20:00 <Schism> And the final takedown was at 98%.

20:00 <Koopz> we wiped once at innocence

20:00 <Schism> Only once?  Well, same here.

20:00 <Koopz> resetted in P2

20:00 <Schism> I take it you have a static group?

20:00 <Koopz> no

20:01 <Koopz> that was matchmaking :D

20:01 <Koopz> all of them

20:01 <Schism> Aha.  o3o

20:01 <Schism> You got very lucky on Titania.  Innocence... we wiped in P2 as well, and I'm INCREDIBLY thankful that they didn't make us go through the first part again.

20:01 <Koopz> on Hades we needed 4 tries

20:01 <Schism> Huh.  Now, on THAT one we cleared him first go.

20:10 <Lumindia> Hades we got in two

20:15 <Koopz> not quite following

20:16 <Cepheid> Schism, my sister wants to take me to Japan next year.  Want me to kidnap Yoshi-P for you as a souvenir?

20:17 <Koopz> spiraling into the arena, freezing everything and then snapping her finger?

20:18 <Schism> Koopz: Titania did that whole ice circle thing.

20:18 <Koopz> owo

20:18 <Koopz> i didn't see that

20:18 <Schism> Really?  The heck were you playing with, folks with i440 equipment?

20:19 <Koopz> i think i was too busy watching my hotbars for procs

20:19 <Schism> Cepheid: Nah, let him be... for now.

20:19 <Schism> I can always take my revenge in future.

20:19 <Koopz> i really have a bad habit of watching just the bottom 15% of my screen

20:20 <Cepheid> Heh.

20:20 <Schism> I have my HUD set up so that I actually have to watch the whole screen.  This works out well, because it means I usually see the AoEs I'm supposed to dodge.

20:20 <Schism> Also, I mainclass MNK, so situational awareness is kind of part and parcel.

20:21 <Koopz> yeah i just stand like at the other side of the arena and hammer all the keys

20:21 <Cepheid> I wonder how long it'd take to train an AI to handle my speech and mannerisms to get more reliable text-to-speech so that I would not have to use a keyboard in a mostly-text-conversation game.

20:21 <Schism> I usually get hit by a new mechanic ONCE.

20:21 <Koopz> "oh crap the ground below lights up, gotta move my butt"

20:22 <Schism> Koopz: I am, however, disappointed.  The first boss does the whole left/right thing.  NOBODY got it, despite it being one of the primary mechanics in the late-SB bosses.

20:22 <Cepheid> My reaction time isn't as good as Schism's.  I get bit by attacks fairly regularly if they have just enough time for me to run out if there is an indicator.

20:23 <Schism> Cephy: None of the ShB bosses are that twitchy, thankfully.

20:23 <Cepheid> I usually compensate with group heals or items.

20:23 <Cepheid> Though after that Rabi-Ribi run...

20:24 <Schism> I think your reflexes are just fine, given time to adjust.

20:24 <Cepheid> My reflexes have improved a bit, because they had to.

20:24 <Cepheid> I forced myself into a pretty insane setup in that game on hard.

20:25 <Cepheid> I wonder if anyone will ever do a fast-paced MMO again, like Wildstar was.

20:26 <Schism> There'll always be folks trying to pull that one off.  The question is whether they can get it right, and find a sponsor who's not bloody NCSoft.

20:26 <Cepheid> The faster the pace, the better my reflexes seem to be.  Perhaps because my brain gets into some sort of high-processing mode and my vision and reflexes adjust along with it.

20:26 <Cepheid> Right now the main issue with reflex games online is latency.

20:27 * Schism nods. "You can't exactly do Gun Gale Online without a few concessions. Just look at Planetside 2."

20:27 <Cepheid> Latency is pretty much at an all-time low for many games and connections now, being anywhere from 5 to 30 milliseconds, but that is still quite a bit.

20:28 <Schism> I use a ping to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 as my baseline for latency, and that usually hovers around 30-45 ms.

20:28 <Cepheid> Average period between frames is 1/60 to 1/30 of a second.

20:28 <Cepheid> Which is approximately 17 to 33 milliseconds.

20:29 <Cepheid> Get below 16 and yeah, you might be able to pull off reflex games more easily.

20:29 <Schism> And while there are tricks to make that more reasonable, you're still not going to see Google's idea of streamed gaming come to fruition in any sensible timeframe.

20:29 <Cepheid> Of course that isn't good enough for gamers though.  Now the new rates are 1/120 or 1/144 of even(heavens forbid) 1/240.

20:30 <Cepheid> Which means...

20:30 <Schism> I swear these people are fronting.

20:30 <Schism> Still, if it drives progress...

20:31 <Cepheid> 8.3, 6.94 or 4.15 milliseconds approximately.

20:31 *** Quits: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-4j8p6a.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Connection closed)

20:31 <Cepheid> The main benefit of such speeds really is ease on the eyes.

20:31 <Schism> There's a term, I'm certain, for thinking that you notice a difference in a higher-class GPU when there's genuinely no change, especially when the minotaur doesn't have a refresh rate which supports it.

20:32 <Cepheid> Most games don't run more than 60 ticks/second, therefore any framerates above that are just interpolation.

20:33 <Schism> Me, I'm fine with just my two weaksauce minotaurs and 30FPS.

20:33 <Cepheid> That is, you draw sub-tick scenes, which gives the impression of animation fluidity and continuity.

20:33 <Cepheid> Yeah that's the other issue.

20:33 <Cepheid> For those framerates?  You need beastly hardware.

20:34 <Schism> Ah, now that's an interesting thing.  Have you ever seen the old still frames of animation from Warner Bros. and Disney cartoons back in the day?

20:34 <Cepheid> Even at 1080p, I don't think my RTX 2060 would handle FF14 past 100FPS.  Maybe at lower settings.

20:34 <Schism> Chuck Jones, in particular.

20:34 <Cepheid> Yes.

20:34 <Schism> The character distortions are very, VERY clever.

20:34 <Cepheid> Speaking of FF14.  *Grabs expansion, starts installing.*

20:35 <Schism> Oh, and FFXIV is capped framerate-wise.  I think 90 FPS.

20:35 <Schism> I don't know for sure.

20:36 <Cepheid> I really want that futon.  I just tripped over my bed getting to my PC.

20:36 <Schism> Blgh.

20:38 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, this weekend, I'm gonna build that heat vent.

20:39 <Schism> It's a cheap project, and well worth it if it works, so why not?

20:40 <Cepheid> Pray tell, you wouldn't happen to have a coupon or discount code I could use to further reduce the Shadowbringers price, would ye? :P

20:40 <Schism> Don't I wish.

20:40 <Cepheid> Heh.

20:40 <Schism> Squeenix are also cleaning up on Fantasia sales.

20:40 <Cepheid> Just grabbing standard edition.  Extras aren't worth the extra $20.

20:41 <Schism> Cepheid: here's the punchline.  Everyone's turning into Viera, because hey, bunny girls.  Viera can't wear most hats.

20:41 <Cepheid> Heh.

20:42 <Cepheid> Much as I'd like a smoothskin viera, I'll stick with my smoothskin catgirl thank ye.

20:42 <Schism> This has led to much hand-wringing, and I'm just smiling on the sideline.  Yup.

20:42 <Cepheid> Think I might grab a Fantasia vial anyways though to adjust her appearance a bit.

20:43 <Schism> Use an /isearch to make sure you don't have one stored away already.  We were given one for free, after all.

20:43 <Cepheid> Hope no one's on my server right now, 'cause I'm about to consume all the bandwidth.

20:46 <Schism> Oh, you wanted to set up a bandwidth limit -- a free trial of this might be your speed, as it were.  https://netbalancer.com/

20:47 <Cepheid> Nah, I'm good.

20:54 <LibrarianofHope> its muscle tension, i dodnt even do that much heck

20:54 <Cepheid> Rest, I dunno.

20:54 <Cepheid> But the GPU requires a 500W PSU, so..

20:55 <Cepheid> GPU power is... 160W, recommended system power with it is 500W.

20:55 <Cepheid> Presumably, this means that at 12% GPU usage, it's drawing...  Nah, that can't be right.

20:56 <Cepheid> I assume GPU usage percentage and power usage are not linear in relation.  That is, 1% = 1.6 watts, 10% 16 watts, etc, etc.

20:57 <Cepheid> Fun note, the RTX 2060 can't handle 240Hz.

20:58 <Cepheid> That said, I'm gonna say one think about 4k.

20:58 <Cepheid> I honestly don't think it's worth it yet.

21:49 * Koopz starts programming a bot that will query Cepheid every 10 minutes

21:49 <Koopz> oh crud

21:49 * SunsetShimmer enjoys with ketchup!

21:50 <Cepheid> You do that, Koopz, I'll ask SunsetShimmer or Ali to temporarily ban you for 10 minutes as punishment.

21:50 * Schism nodnods, and also adds a fried egg.

21:50 <Cepheid> Because that'd constitute harassment, which is presumably against the rules.

21:51 <SunsetShimmer> I'm pretty sure he wouldn't anyway

21:51 <LibrarianofHope> and we get a taken scene where cepheid finds you and throws a moose at you

21:51 <LibrarianofHope> uhhh bacon

21:51 <Koopz> sign me up, i'm gonna setup bets on if i'll be able to catch the moose and throw it back or not

21:52 * LibrarianofHope noms the bacon haired

21:52 <SunsetShimmer> :P

21:53 <LibrarianofHope> so i could feed the moose extra and make it extra heavy, moose rigging

21:53 <LibrarianofHope> we could be rich

21:54 <Schism> O

21:54 * Filly_Nightmares uses SunsetShimmer as a blanket

21:54 <Schism> I'll build the trebuchet.

21:55 * Schism also wraps Filly_Nightmares in warm noodles!

21:55 <LibrarianofHope> nope, he can defintely do it by hoisting it up

21:55 <LibrarianofHope> strong man, reborn viking lord

21:57 * Schism noms upon some chicken-cheese-and-spinach noodles.

21:57 <LibrarianofHope> i want to learn how to play age of sigmar again, im confused

22:03 <LibrarianofHope> press n to pay respects

22:05 <Cepheid> So...

22:06 <Cepheid> I just found out, thanks to a hardware monitor, that my CPU had been exceeding it's specifications.  Thanks to the motherboard and ASUS.

22:06 <Lumindia> .o

22:06 <Cepheid> Max turbo-boost speed for the CPU is 4.3GHz.  Apparently, the motherboard has some sort of automatic overclocking system that's enabled BY DEFAULT to change the max turbo-boost speed on the fly.

22:06 <Cepheid> To 5.6GHz.

22:07 <Koopz> that's pretty optimistic

22:07 <Cepheid> Yeah, I turned that off.

22:08 <Schism> "One of my goals is to learn everything.  As you might expect, that's probably going to take a while."

22:09 <Lumindia> ECCH

22:09 <Schism> At least they give you a freakin' ton of manuals.  Have you done the weekly deliveries, Koopz?

22:10 <Schism> And Lumin.  o3o

22:10 <Koopz> ECCH

22:10 <Koopz> yep

22:10 <Schism> Do the damn deliveries!  They're insanely easy and they give you a boatload of exp.

22:10 <Cepheid> "Florida Iguana hunter shoots pool worker mistaking him for iguana."

22:10 <Lumindia> I'm worrying more about my combat jobs first

22:11 <Koopz> though i think i should've tried to only turn in HQ

22:11 <Schism> Nononono.  I mean the WEEKLY ones.

22:11 <Koopz> from Stormblood?

22:11 <Schism> And HW, yeah.

22:11 <Schism> The experience they provide is still relevant.

22:11 <Koopz> don't tell me they scale

22:11 <Schism> THEY SCALE!  Plus, they give you a boatload of yellowscrip.

22:12 * Koopz instaports to Tamamizu

22:12 <Schism> Check under Duties.

22:12 <LibrarianofHope> i need 20 dice

22:12 <Schism> You'll want to turn in the preferred ones.

22:12 <Koopz> long time no see, fellow shell'd people

22:12 <LibrarianofHope> heck i find so much dice

22:13 <Koopz> afaik Tamamizu and the guy with the pig head yielded the most

22:13 <Schism> Koopz: Each of the Weekly Deliveries targets now provides the same amount of exp.  So you can wind up turning in stuff to the catgirl in Idyllshire for just as much as you might for the pigheaded guy.

22:13 <Koopz> oh i see

22:14 <Schism> So check them each for whatever's starred.

22:14 <Koopz> https://koopz.rocks/s/2019-07-05_00-14-35.jpg

22:14 <Koopz> all of them say bonus

22:15 <Schism> Excellent, so you can get maximum experience this week by turning in 6 of whatever she asks.

22:16 <LibrarianofHope> german looks epic at first glance

22:16 <Schism> And, really, at this stage, how could you NOT get maximum collectability on cloud pearls, cloud feathers or illuminati masks?

22:16 <LibrarianofHope> big words, much edge

22:17 <Koopz> hmm... where's me trusty macro

22:17 <Koopz> oh i only used it on the fisherman

22:18 <Schism> Koopz, you do know that the Duty Timers list is your best friend, yes?

22:19 <Schism> Not only can you use it on that, you can also see what you need to turn in to your GC, at a moment's notice.

22:19 <Koopz> y'know

22:20 <Koopz> this is the first time i've ever seen this window

22:20 <Schism> And now you're wondering why you never looked at it before?

22:20 <Koopz> hmm... not really

22:21 <Koopz> i kept track of all of that stuff in my head

22:21 <Schism> Bah.  Either way, it's quite helpful for all manner of things.

22:21 <Schism> I used notepad instances before I learned how to use it.

22:21 <Koopz> did the weekly hunts and weekly deliveries every tuesday basically after the reset

22:22 <Schism> Well, weekly hunts, I keep all the logbooks on a separate hotbar.

22:22 <Schism> Right alongside Wondrous Tails.

22:23 <Schism> Daily Hunts in this case, too.  Gotta eat that 1.3 million exp.

22:23 <Schism> (And I want the platypus.)

22:24 <Koopz> honestly couldn't care less for those rank 3 rewards :D

22:25 <Schism> Fair enough!  But at least those FATEs are worth doing for the experience.

22:25 <Koopz> sure are

22:25 <Koopz> not many sidequests to take care of

22:25 <Schism> Yeah, I've left them for my WAR.  And even then, they're kinda sparse.

22:25 <Koopz> cleared the first region with my redmage today

22:25 <Schism> FATE + Twist of Fate + Bonus EXP == <3.

22:25 <Koopz> got like

22:25 <Koopz> half a level?

22:26 <Cepheid> I'll never understand the public.

22:26 <Schism> Sounds about right.  Though which first area?  You get to play through two, after all.

22:26 <Koopz> idk what it's called

22:26 <Schism> Cepheid: Welcome to humanity, here's your badge.

22:26 <Koopz> sealands?

22:26 <Schism> Eh.  Probably Kholesia.

22:26 <Koopz> no

22:26 <Cepheid> <Public> "OH NO!  My house has flooded!  Government, do something!"  <Government>  "We're gonna start by changing the flood zones based on information gleaned from flooding."  <Public>  "NO!  We don't want that!"

22:26 <Koopz> the purple area

22:27 <Schism> Oh, right, Lakeland.

22:27 <Schism> I was thinking of the zones you meet Alisaie and Alphinaud in.

22:27 <Schism> Their first halves, anyway.

22:28 * Cepheid will be unavailable for other gaming today. FF14 is of interest to him right now.

22:28 <Schism> Cepheid: Identifying a problem is the first step to fixing it.  But people strangely don't want problems to be identified...

22:29 <Schism> Oh, and Cephy: You can now buy i390 gear in Rhalgr's Reach, and update it to i400 at 100 tomestones/pop.

22:29 <Cepheid> Because the fixes usually involve changes that do not immediately benefit the people, or promote the idea of a tax.

22:30 <Schism> Yeah... scope and all that jazz.  Bleh.

22:31 <Cepheid> Ah, right.  Datacenters moved about and stuff.

22:31 <Schism> Yeah, we're on Crystal now.

22:31 <Schism> Along with Balmung, so expect to see many nude, dancing Viera in the Quicksand.

22:32 <Schism> (Not literally nude.  But seriously, gah.)

22:32 * Schism flops over to the store real quick.

22:33 <Cepheid> I gather you've moved to a new guild?

22:35 <Koopz> speaking of, i still need to put Kurenai into a bikini

22:35 <Koopz> :P

22:36 <Cepheid> I still have my black schoolgirl outfit.

22:37 <Koopz> uh

22:37 <Koopz> didn't you say they all give the same EP?

22:37 <Koopz> https://koopz.rocks/s/2019-07-05_00-37-29.jpg

22:38 <Cepheid> Hum, maximum settings, ~140 FPS.

22:38 <Koopz> 2,1m != 1,57m

22:38 <Cepheid> At 1080p.

22:39 * Filly_Nightmares meows

22:39 <Cepheid> Interestingly I still cannot manage 2160p 60 FPS.  45 FPS.

22:39 <Koopz> ugh...

22:39 <Koopz> i'm blind, Zhloe doesn't have a bonus

22:39 <Koopz> guess we'll check out M'Naago is doing

22:40 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, setting all the graphics settings to minimum at 2160p..

22:40 <Cepheid> ~120 FPS. o3o

22:40 <lunanightwindphone> Good evening

22:41 <Koopz> no bonus either... bummer

22:45 * Cepheid tweaks the resolution a tad to figure out where the sweet spot is.

22:46 <lunanightwindphone> What you tweaking resolution for?

22:47 <Cepheid> Mostly just to figure out what the upper limit is. o3o

22:47 <lunanightwindphone> What program?

22:48 <Cepheid> FF14.

22:49 <lunanightwindphone> Hardware and frame rate target?

22:49 <Cepheid> I'm not sure why you're asking so many questions, I'm just playing around.

22:49 <Cepheid> RTX 2060, 60 FPS, highest res I can go with maximum settings.

22:50 <lunanightwindphone> I know with my 2070 I can hit 2160p at  about 55fps on max settings

22:50 <Koopz> anybody not trough the MSQ yet?

22:50 <Cepheid> I am not through it.

22:50 <Cepheid> In fact, I just started it.

22:50 <Cepheid> lunanightwindphone:  I get about 45 at 2160p.

22:50 <lunanightwindphone> I should get back into 14 I keep going to it then backing off it

22:51 <Cepheid> Looks like my card tops out at around 1800p.

22:51 <lunanightwindphone> Yeah with a 2060 a 10 fps variance sounds about right

22:51 <Reiko> You're right

22:52 <Cepheid> I poked it to 1710p, and I'm getting solid 60 FPS.

22:52 <Reiko> And your point

22:52 <Koopz> then do not click on the following link: https://koopz.rocks/s/2019-07-05_00-49-39.png

22:53 <lunanightwindphone> I booted up my xbox tonight and I'm at like 900p on the game I'm playing right now and I never noticed the difference till now

22:53 <Cepheid> Heh.

22:54 <Cepheid> That said, 2160p is probably about the upper limit for me.

22:54 <Koopz> running 2160p on my GTX980 too

22:54 <Cepheid> Even with a 40" TV, it reaches a point of sharpness at which increasing the resolution is pointless.

22:54 <Koopz> though i think i turned down a lot of stuff

22:54 <Koopz> because i insist on frameless window mode

22:55 * Cepheid sits atop Schism.

22:55 <lunanightwindphone> Honestly I've found I enjoy the higher frame rates over the resolution

22:56 <Cepheid> Same/

22:56 <Cepheid> I just wanted to see what the upper limit was, really.

22:58 <lunanightwindphone> I'm probably gonna hold onto this graphics card till it's being stretched to the limit but I am enjoying what I have seen with RTX so far

23:00 <Cepheid> Same.

23:06 <lunanightwindphone> Tried quake 2 rtx yet?

23:07 <Cepheid> I have not.

23:08 <Schism> Bleh, back.

23:08 <Stormspark> someone apparently found a way to do RTX on non-RTX cards

23:08 <Stormspark> it's slow as hell but it works

23:08 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's possible.

23:08 <lunanightwindphone> Free on steam it's literally just a ray tracing model for quake 2 but if you know quake 2 you should give it a try

23:08 <Cepheid> In fact, nVidia released a library to do basic RTX on it.

23:08 <lunanightwindphone> You dont even have to own quake 2 to get it

23:09 <Stormspark> I still have a 1080ti...probably gonna wait another year to upgrade

23:09 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, it appears the last thing I was doing in FF14 was...

23:09 <Cepheid> ....

23:09 <Schism> Hildibrand?

23:09 <Stormspark> Hildibrand is ridiculous x_x

23:09 <Stormspark> but it's funny

23:10 <Cepheid> Various Extreme duties, Containment Bays, a few dungeons, and...

23:11 <Cepheid> And yeah, the actions.  But no, I meant that my UI is set to default settings.  So I need to get it all back up to speed.

23:11 <Schism> Oh, yech.  

23:11 * Schism nodnods at that, though. "Want me to show you my UI setup?"

23:12 <Stormspark> I had finished everything...in patch 4.4

23:12 <Stormspark> I keep backups of my UI because losing that means setting up a lot of jobs again x_x

23:20 <Cepheid> Also I just broke the thermometer I was using to measure temperature outside.
