00:28 <Cepheid> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EAChcC0WkAA_P3q?format=png&name=large Nothing spectacular.  A window(The large box), with a container(Invisible widget that holds other widgets), which itself contains a button(Lower, smaller box), and a label(Purple text.)

00:28 <Cepheid> Input is functional.

00:29 <Cepheid> Supports keyboard, gamepad and mouse input too.  All forms of input are translated to software cursor manipulation, with assumption of at least two buttons, but with support for more.

00:32 * Cepheid promptly passes out and slumps onto the ground, asleep.

01:31 <PinkieShy> Didn't want to complain as i felt it would have been stupid to confront them about it..

01:32 <PinkieShy> They gave me a chicken breast that had little to no meat on it.. It was like one bite and it was mainly all bone.

04:40 <Schism> Huh.  "Into the Spider-Verse" is the best superhero film I've seen in a long, long time.  The best since "Megamind".

04:41 <Schism> Formulaic as heck, sure, but it took it in a great direction.

04:48 <Ali> /me flops over Schism

04:48 * Ali baps keyboard for space

04:51 * Ali noms on Schism ears in frustration

04:57 * Schism dangles an aglet on a fishing rod above Ali.

04:57 * Ali is a bit grumpy with Terraria as she got murdered by Twins

04:58 <Schism> 'It worked.  Tirek's eyes, and eventually his head, followed the magically-infused gem-onna-stick.'

04:59 * Ali summon's Destroyer onto Schism

04:59 * Schism counters with Skeletron 9000!

05:04 <Schism> "Are you mad?  In this world, I'd not be surprised if I ran into a person who tried to split their own cutie mark and bud it off!  I might be mad, but I'm not THAT kind of crazy!"

05:04 <Ali> There's no such thing Schism :P

05:05 * Ali boops Schism nosie

05:07 * PinkieShy starts the great nose booping war by booping Ali's nose

05:07 * Ali puffycheeks and boops PinkieShy nosie back.

05:08 <Schism> "There are people who claim that they are creating Utopia, and they are correct -- if only by dint that they are creating a space where nobody can possibly live."

05:13 * Ali boops Schism nosie, boops for all!

05:14 *** Joins: Reia_Hope (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony)

05:31 * Schism almost desires to shoot bazookas and grenades at Ali from afar.

05:32 * Schism blinks. "Did we... ever invite you to such a game?"

05:32 * Ali concrete donkey's Schism

05:32 <Schism> Would you LIKE to play a game of Hedgewars?  The concrete donkey is not in-game, but the piano is.

05:33 <Ali> No thanks

05:33 <Schism> Awr, oh well.

05:33 <Ali> To be honest I'd rather try again on MP Terraria :P

05:34 <Ali> But on normal X.x That expert was starting to infuriate me and there was no way I was going to get to the Lunar Events alone or with 1 other.

05:42 <PinkieShy> I legit thought pewdiepie shaved his head from the thumbnail of his latest video..

05:43 <Schism> Gimme Markiplier instead, or Krinx.

05:44 * Ali Worfstaches on Schism

05:50 <Schism> "This sort of thing happens from time to time.  About a century ago, the Griffon emperor, Grosvenor, challenged Princess Celestia for her crown in a game of billiards.  He neglected to set the table, though." [snicker] "The Princess won that one by sinking the 8-ball into the corner moon.  A called shot, at that."

05:51 <Schism> [a percentage of an AU away] <Luna> SISTER!

05:55 <Schism> "So what happens when someone challenges you to something you couldn't win?" "Like?" "A challenge of not being a princess, for example." "We'd set them on the throne for a day or so, and happily accept their resignation.  And our parliament would make the choice a very easy one for them."

06:01 <PinkieShy> Would y'all say that is completely normal for minecraft?

06:01 <PinkieShy> I'm getting 60fps with vsync on and 100fps with it off with some stuff turned off or down a bit

06:01 <PinkieShy> and when say i light up a tnt block i drop fps hardcore.

06:01 <Schism> For Minecraft, no.  Though perhaps they've managed to tighten things up a little.

06:02 <PinkieShy> To say if i light up 10 tnt i get down to.. 9fps or maybe lower.

06:02 <Schism> As for the TNT: Yes, that's normal.

06:02 <Schism> Minecraft is a coding disaster.

06:02 <PinkieShy> so Tnt will get me to 9fps or so no matter what? :P

06:02 <PinkieShy> Okie :)

06:02 <Schism> It's absolutely horrid.

06:02 <PinkieShy> I know the windows 10 build runs wonders lol

06:03 <Schism> I suspect that if Cepheid ever got a sniff of the actual Java code, he'd keel over and explode, then explode again.

06:03 <PinkieShy> The windows store version.. I could do 100 tnt and not drop to many FPS to the point where its not playable

06:03 <PinkieShy> Then again that's probably done on c++

06:03 <Schism> That's been... yeah.

06:03 <Schism> Optimized for a particular platform, I would say.

06:04 <PinkieShy> The windows 10 store version I believe now shares itself with Android, Xbox and whatever else..

06:04 <Schism> Ah, the mobile version.

06:05 * Schism bites his tongue. :P

06:05 <Schism> Oh, PinkieShy: Have you seen 'Into the Spider-Verse'?  It's really, REALLY good.

06:06 <PinkieShy> Nope.. I got netflix and i've seen it advertised keep having second thoughts on watching it..

06:07 <Schism> If it helps your concerns, Spider-Pig and Peni Parker only show up in a handful of scenes, and they're not at all conducive to the plot except as a simple 'hey, we're dealing with multi universes' thing.

06:08 <Schism> The core plot is solid, and holds up enormously well as a superhero movie all-in-all.

06:17 * Schism chuckles. "Their connection is always weird."

06:18 <Schism> But yeah, I just watched that one.  It's great, and I might just watch it again soon.

06:18 <ConfusionRift> Watched it on theaters, since I was invited. It was far better than I expected.

06:18 <Schism> Visually, I loved the glitches.

06:19 <Schism> Those were absolutely toptier, and rendered it into a cosmic horror film better than most actually manage.

06:19 * ConfusionRift nods.

06:20 <ConfusionRift> They also left a chuckle moment on the post-credit clip.

06:20 <Schism> Dammit.  I didn't watch those.  It's a Marvel movie, why did I not?!

06:20 <ConfusionRift> Not gonna spoil it. It's short, but kinda funny. :P

06:21 * Schism shall have to watch the whole thing again. Le sigh.

06:21 <ConfusionRift> If on NetFlix, you can just skip to it, probably.

06:21 <Schism> Crave, but yeah, I can do that.

06:31 * ConfusionRift flopples.

06:34 * Ali floppies with ConfusionRift

06:34 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali. :P

06:35 * Ali yays and leans into pets

06:39 * Ali bombards ConfusionRift with pineapples

07:17 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift; Mlles Ali, DashedRainbows and Filly_Nightmares; Messrs Cepheid and Schism.

07:17 * Ali squeaks at Finwe

07:20 * Finwe boops an Ali.

07:20 * Ali squeaks louder

07:24 * Finwe puts on hearing protector.

07:27 <Schism> Starbound is 33% off.  Just $11 CAD.

07:28 <Finwe> Schism: In Steam's Space Exploration sale?

07:28 <Schism> Evidently?  I haven't looked at the rest of the sale, because I'm poor and it would just make sad.

07:28 <Schism> make me*

07:28 <Schism> I just figured that a certain cute unicorn could use it as an excuse to play Starbound with us.

07:29 <Schism> Sorry.  NOT cute.

07:29 * Finwe ruffles a certain cute unicorn.

07:29 <Schism> * Ali ish not cute.

07:30 <Ali> Schism, sadly I'm also poor and can't afford games.

07:30 <Schism> Mlehm.  ._.

07:37 <Finwe> What happens if you rub linseed oil into a sleeping unicorn?

07:42 <Schism> She stops being tense, and instead becomes flax.

07:44 <Schism> Sadly, Filly_Nightmares is not around for a game.

07:45 <ConfusionRift> Flax is string. :P

07:45 <Schism> Well, the fibrous plant.  :P

07:46 <Schism> Were only the eee here, we could play a game of Hedgewars.

07:49 <Finwe> I could play, but I have to be off to the health centre for some blood tests.

08:00 <ConfusionRift> I just... did I accidentally... no! That makes no sense. I pressed on the bar, not the shutdown button! Even the text input line was there!

08:01 <ConfusionRift> Oh whatever, I'm back... and now have to search again what the issues is with this game.

08:19 * Golden sensing a spider person plush on his pile it would slowly vanish into the depths of the pile like it wasn't even there in the first place.

08:19 <Schism> Aw, but she's cute.

08:19 * Schism fines, and just puts a plush platypus on Golden's pile.

08:20 * ConfusionRift puts a hat on the platypus. :P

08:21 * Golden senses a Perry the Platypus plush, and in sinks down like the spider gwen plush.

08:23 * Schism puts a small platypus wind-up toy on the Gladiolus.

08:23 * Gladi skree

08:45 <Gladiolus> Year 2000 Power Mac G4/500/AGP with SCSI 36GB HDD and 1.5 gigs of ram. Worth 6800 USD new

08:45 <Gladiolus> and about nothing now :p

08:46 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, now I kinda remember. :P

08:46 <Gladiolus> hmm what's a good description for the emotion of basically "d'

08:46 <Gladiolus> 'aww" in prose

08:46 <Gladiolus> like smeone looking at a cute puppy

08:46 <Golden> Scree.....I feel so tired of grinding jewels for MHW....but I need them for a build I am working on

08:46 <ConfusionRift> Have... fuuuuuuuuuuun. :P

08:47 * ConfusionRift laughs maniacally as he reduces their drop rate EVEN MORE.

08:47 <Gladiolus> lmao this channel won't let me say "I am!"

08:47 <ConfusionRift> ...huh?

08:47 <Gladiolus> Your message cannot contain more than 60% capital letters if it's longer than 5 characters

08:47 <ConfusionRift> I am!

08:47 <Gladiolus> ur a mod tho

08:48 <Gladiolus> special boi

08:48 * ConfusionRift pats his own head.

08:48 <Schism> Hmmmm...

08:48 * Schism exclaims, "I am!"

08:48 <Gladiolus> booo

08:48 <ConfusionRift> Hahahaaa!

08:49 <Golden> I need 1 blast jewel 1, 2 critical jewel 2 , a second attack jewel, and two Mighty 2 jewels....

08:50 <ConfusionRift> The heck are you making?

08:50 <Golden> All this for my SnS build for the Empress Edge Styx

08:51 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaaah... (he's not that far in the game) ...of couuurse. :P

08:51 <Golden> Someone refered this as the Explosive Azure Star build, and I have all armor for it, have each one augmented, and I am near HR 70

08:53 <Golden> The Armor. Dragonking Eye patch, Kulve Taroth's Ire B, Empress Vambraces A, Nergigante coil B, and Nergigante greaves A

08:54 <Golden> I have had this game sense it released. I take hiatuses so I don't get burnt out

08:55 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately, it burns me out fast, especially working alone.

08:55 <Golden> Why do you think I mainly check the sos quests?!

08:55 <ConfusionRift> I have the best of luck when I don't need it, and the worst when I need it.

08:56 <Golden> Heck for I am doing this in prep for Iceborne in two months so the new monsters and master rank monsters don't rip me a part!

08:57 <ConfusionRift> ...should I...should I boot the game again? Hmm, dunno man.

08:58 <Golden> A lot of monsters are susceptible to blast too so I can possibly take on, and live against Arch Tempered elder dragons!

08:58 <ConfusionRift> Screw it. Gonna boot it up real quick.

08:59 <Golden> You know the quest why you have to fight two tempered bazelgeuse? Arch tempered is that times ten

08:59 <Golden> I got one shot by a tail attack with my shield up

08:59 <Golden> This was before I started to try this build, and was decked in the Xeno Jiiva armor.

09:00 <Golden> All of it fully leveled up too

09:00 <ConfusionRift> I still have not fought beetlejuice... I mean, hazelboost... fragglefools... big lumpy explody wyvern!

09:01 <Golden> Bazelgeuse

09:01 <ConfusionRift> That's what I said. :P

09:01 <Gladiolus> oh hey whats' the channel rules for early-airing episodes? I'm trying, and will probably fail, to avoid spoilers.

09:01 <Gladiolus> I saw talk about it on EQD discord and bounced.

09:02 <Gladiolus> God knows SOMEONE is going to spoil the finale when it early airs I can just feel it

09:02 <Schism> Any discussion of episodes is not allowed until a day or so after they air in the US.

09:02 <Gladiolus> thank god

09:02 <Gladiolus> fun fact: I stole the EQD rule for my own server :p

09:02 <Gladiolus> (on discord)

09:03 <Golden> Do the fight with the two tempered ones. Then you will understand. Then after two tempered Bazelgeuse is a tempered kirin, and then at hr 100 is a fight with 3 tempered Elder Dragons!

09:03 <ConfusionRift> Problem though. One thing is having the rules, and another is... (looks at the mod list) enforcing them.

09:03 <Golden> A tempered Kushala Doara, tempered Teostra, and Tempered Nergigante

09:04 <Gladiolus> It's hard but we do our best. I've learned a lot running that server.

09:04 <Gladiolus> I forgive too easily frankly and sometimes let members walk over me when they break rules, but I have good mods.

09:04 <Gladiolus> Being private invite helps, and I've put me soul into ensuring it's a [fetish niche >.>] supportive and welcoming community.

09:04 <ConfusionRift> I'm barely at the double digits, sir! (still has the scars from fighting... rynos?)

09:06 <Golden> You mean Diablos?

09:06 <ConfusionRift> Niice. Still, watch for them hiccups.

09:06 * Gladiolus hiccups

09:07 <ConfusionRift> No, goodness no. I loathe that diggy diggy monster from the nether, but he's done for.

09:07 <ConfusionRift> My hate has been cemented since MHFU.

09:07 <Golden> For there aren't that much horned monsters in MHW other than Diablos. Then what did you mean by Rynos?

09:08 <ConfusionRift> It was more of a joke, with Rhenoplos.

09:08 <Golden> Oh.

09:09 <ConfusionRift> I meant rhino, but Ratchet & Clank came to mind and said Ryno. Sowwy.

09:09 * ConfusionRift patpats Gladiolus' hiccups away.

09:09 <Gladiolus> wait what was hiccups in reference to? :p

09:10 <Golden> Well in Iceborne Brachydios, and Nargacuga are back, along with Glavenus and it's new subspecies Acidic Glavenus. I am hopimg Gore Magala gets in, but I also want to see Fatalis get in.

09:11 <ConfusionRift> Gladiolus: Oh right, sorry. I still had the old IRC server in mind, but you did mentioned there are now other users.

09:11 <Gladiolus> As in.. disconnects then?

09:11 <ConfusionRift> That and a few mods forgot about the rules back then.

09:12 <Gladiolus> riiight you mean ~drama~ hiccups. Yeah it happens, as with any large community.

09:12 <ConfusionRift> Of course.

09:12 <Gladiolus> I used to have a problem with micromanaging and taking all problems as things I had to handle personally, which as you can imagine got worse as we expanded.

09:12 <ConfusionRift> Yeeeeep.

09:12 <Gladiolus> Eventually I had to take a break from my own server after a tough week, but the mods were exceptional and when I came back and it was all fine I relaxed.

09:12 <Gladiolus> and things have been good.

09:13 * ConfusionRift nods.

09:13 <Gladiolus> I have the best mod team anyone could ever have bar none and it's nobody you'd know :p. Entirely new community.

09:13 <Gladiolus> One of them is an artist I used to follow and am now good friends with :3

09:14 * Golden flops holding his Aria plushie. He is going to bed

09:14 <Gladiolus> sleep well!

09:14 <Gladiolus> Plushers good

09:14 <ConfusionRift> Have a good one!

09:14 <Golden> Will do and Aria Blaze is best siren change my mind!

09:15 * ConfusionRift hiccup gasps.

09:15 <Gladiolus> Y'know what makes it worth it though? When people tell me they enjoy what I built. Like oh my god, when people tell me they feel like that server is their home, and a place they feel safe and welcomed.

09:15 * Gladiolus sighs softly.

09:15 <Gladiolus> A good feel

09:16 * ConfusionRift he regrets turning on his PS4. "Of course there's an update."

09:16 <ConfusionRift> Such regerts.

09:16 <Gladiolus> welcome 2 2019

09:16 <Gladiolus> everything is just a pc with different firmware

09:16 <Gladiolus> your ps4 is closer to a pc than the powermac i'm using is

09:17 * ConfusionRift looks at Gladiolus and smiles. "We're back on track I see." :P

09:17 <Gladiolus> We were off track?

09:17 <ConfusionRift> Not... really?

09:18 <Gladiolus> Buuut how can we be _back_ on it then?

09:18 * ConfusionRift scratches his head.

09:18 <ConfusionRift> Is there even a track?

09:18 <Gladiolus> You tell me!

09:18 <ConfusionRift> Since when... why are we in a train?!

09:18 <Gladiolus> The ride never ends.

09:19 <ConfusionRift> "There ain't no getting off this train!"

09:19 * ConfusionRift screams in horror.

09:20 * Gladiolus screams in action-adventure

09:20 <Schism> Hm.  Tommy Robinson, AKA Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, attempted to instigate a fight in prison with a pensioner.  Said pensioner responded by throwing a single punch.

09:20 <Gladiolus> see wut i did there

09:20 <Gladiolus> isn't that the guy that gut punched to death

09:21 <Gladiolus> is that where this is heading? :p

09:21 <Schism> Nah, though if this continues, it bodes not well for him.  :P

09:21 <Gladiolus> o3o

09:21 <Gladiolus> What did he do to get in prison? I recognize the name, but lack google.

09:21 <Gladiolus> for I am on oldputer

09:21 <Schism> Various hate speech, TREMENDOUS contempt of court, and I believe some scams.

09:22 <Gladiolus> Riiiight

09:22 <Gladiolus> some jackass tried to defend them on a different server on irc than the one i mentioned earlier

09:22 <Gladiolus> i just rolled my eyes

09:23 <Schism> Best response.  I can simply chuckle because now, he's serving on behest of the Queen, and on his first day he got punched out by an old geezer.

09:23 <ConfusionRift> Finally! The game is run- oh. (HR:14)

09:23 <Gladiolus> good man

09:26 <ConfusionRift> Man, there's always a problem when I go on hiatus in MH. I just completely forget what I was doing.

13:37 <Cepheid> Ow.

13:47 <ADragonHoarding> I agree

13:50 <RazorSharpFang> Why is fired clay waterproof?

13:50 <RazorSharpFang> Regular clay isn't, so why is it when it's fired?

13:50 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/CJO9Jev.gifv Sweet geezus.

13:50 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang:  The clay itself, not sure.  Probably because most fired clay has glazing on it.

13:50 <Cepheid> Which is basically liquid glass.

13:51 <Cepheid> Which, when solidified, acts as an impermeable barrier.

13:51 <ADragonHoarding> apparently firing clay turns it into a crystalline structure.

13:54 <ADragonHoarding> https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/how-temperature-changes-clay-2746240 - more info

13:56 <ADragonHoarding> basically after being fired it's no longer clay, it's ceramic.

13:57 <RazorSharpFang> Can you turn broken pottery back into clay?

13:58 <Cepheid> If you can, it'd probably involve smashing and grinding the pottery into a fine dust.

13:58 <ADragonHoarding> most likely not.

13:59 <ADragonHoarding> from what I read the firing of clay causes Quartz Inversion

13:59 <ADragonHoarding> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_inversion

14:00 <ADragonHoarding> No reverse process has been discovered.

14:00 <ADragonHoarding> that I can find, at any rate

14:00 <RazorSharpFang> Guess we're running out of clay then

14:00 <ADragonHoarding> or maybe I just didn't read the first sentence fully:

14:00 <Cepheid> Hey Spitfire, how are ye doing?

14:00 <ADragonHoarding> "The room-temperature form of quartz, α-quartz, undergoes a reversible change in crystal structure at 573 °C to form β-quartz."

14:01 <Cepheid> He keeps meowing at me randomly, despite attention.

14:01 <ADragonHoarding> that said I'm not finding anything about turning pottery into clay, but you can create clay from dirt.

14:01 <Cepheid> I wish I could understand him.

14:01 <ADragonHoarding> heh

14:01 <RazorSharpFang> Clay from dirt? How?

14:02 <RazorSharpFang> Isn't it chemically different?

14:02 <ADragonHoarding> Don't know.

14:02 <Cepheid> Probably combining water with minerals and earth.

14:02 <ADragonHoarding> There's tutorials online

14:03 <ADragonHoarding> My secret is that I knew none of this before you asked.

14:03 <RazorSharpFang> *gasp*

14:06 <Cepheid> THere are these things, called search engines.

14:06 <Cepheid> They can be used to find answers to any questions, and statistics to back up your false claims, and other fun stuffs.

14:07 <RazorSharpFang> I always seem to find brietbart in my search results, even if it's really specific like "wind pump turbine angle of attack"

14:07 *** Joins: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-0eg.r35.207.187.IP)

14:08 <LibrarianofHope> got new phone

14:09 <Cepheid> Hum, it's nice out today.

14:09 <LibrarianofHope> huaweii, good thingie, free

14:09 <Cepheid> Aside from the clouds, but even that's a silver lining for me.  The outdoors won't blind me.

14:09 *** Quits: AppleDash (appled@Gladiolus.Rocks) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

14:09 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope:  Don't bring it to the US, they might attack you on sight.  Canada... eeeehhh..  You might be asked why you don't just let that one lady go.

14:10 <LibrarianofHope> ?

14:10 * LibrarianofHope is confused, polishes cepheid in his confusion

14:11 <Cepheid> Extradition request for Meng Wanzhou, CFO of Huaweii.

14:11 <Cepheid> Canada had to arrest her when she arrived in Canada.  US wants her.

14:11 <Cepheid> It's creating a lot of friction between Canada and China right now.

14:12 <Cepheid> In the US, there was(I believe it was rescinded) a ban on Huaweii products and such for a period of time as well.

14:12 <Cepheid> Due to claims of spying and such.

14:16 <LibrarianofHope> google and facebook and everyvody else spies

14:16 <LibrarianofHope> its kinda meh

14:18 *** Joins: AppleDash (appled@Gladiolus.Rocks)

14:22 <Cepheid> Yeah, but in this case the US wanted her.  Last I heard they still don't have her in their custody.

14:24 <ADragonHoarding> US is on a protectionist tear against Huawei in particular, claiming they're spying on Americans for China. This ignores all other Chinese manufacturing that goes into electronics, does not have much in the way of hard data that supports the actions the current administration is claiming are behind the ban...

14:24 <ADragonHoarding> and ignores that the US has done basically the same thing.

14:26 * ADragonHoarding yawns, is still sleepy and recovering from the past week/weekend

14:26 <Cepheid> And of course you got all sorts of Chinese-designed/made/produced hardware being used in data centers.

14:26 <Cepheid> Family that bad, ADra?

14:26 <ADragonHoarding> nah, it's just kids

14:26 * Cepheid has an ASUS laptop. Designed in Thailand, made in China, sold in Canada, the US and around the world.

14:27 <ADragonHoarding> kids are tiring. especially babies.

14:27 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:27 <ADragonHoarding> also friday was a wedding, which had dancing, so I danced

14:27 <Cepheid> Me, the trying thing is the dog.

14:27 <Cepheid> Oof.

14:27 <ADragonHoarding> then went to the beach after

14:27 <Cepheid> Weddings, that explains all the kids and family then, I guess.

14:27 <ADragonHoarding> so that was walking in sand

14:27 <ADragonHoarding> so now my legs have rebelled.

14:28 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:28 <Cepheid> At least you aren't sunburnt everywhere, I hope?

14:28 <ADragonHoarding> and Friday night we were at a hotel,  and I was sharing a room. Hard bed, super-flat pillow...

14:28 <ADragonHoarding> Not everywhere.

14:29 <ADragonHoarding> just the spots where I missed out on putting on sunscreen: tops of feet, backs of hands, calves, and elbows.

14:30 <ADragonHoarding> also my wrist is hurting, probably combination of holding babies, while dancing, and then holding 4-year old hand while in waves.

14:30 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:31 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I'm mostly just sore because I've been sleeping on a couch not designed for sleeping on for the last few days.

14:31 <Cepheid> That heatwave that hit made it too dangerous to sleep in my bedroom.

14:31 <ADragonHoarding> it was very nice and cool at the beach.

14:31 <ADragonHoarding> lake effect, cool breeze, etc.

14:33 <Cepheid> Right, right.

14:33 <Cepheid> Also, annoyingly, my futon was delayed by a week and a half.

14:33 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-algknk.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)

14:40 <Cepheid> Apparently, when I paid for it a few weeks back, they forgot to place the order.

14:40 <Cepheid> They only noticed this a couple of days in advance of the delivery.

14:40 <Cepheid> And told us that we'd have to wait another week-and-a-half.

14:51 <Cepheid> That said, after a bit of discussion I did learn that my parents, did in fact, fight for *SOMETHING* out of Leons over that.

14:51 <Cepheid> They got $100 off the futon.  So it's 499 instead of 599.

15:01 <ADragonHoarding> that's fair

15:09 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

15:09 <Cepheid> That said, 1.5 weeks is an estimate.  Could be sooner.

15:09 <Cepheid> Depends on how long it takes for the order to arrive.

15:10 <Cepheid> Hell it could arrive today for all I know.

15:10 <Cepheid> Which, I'll be honest, would be nice.  Much as sleeping on this couch can be painful after extended periods, I do find I sleep better on it.  And the futon I bought is of similar hardness and such.

15:18 *** Quits: matttheshadowman (mattthesha@the.shadowy.corners) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

15:19 <Cepheid> I also just want that matress out of my room, aside from duct cleaning, it's the only other thing I can think of that's causing my breathing troubles.

15:19 <Cepheid> Also, Spitfire would love the hell out of it, and maybe sleep next to me more often, like he is now.

15:20 <Cepheid> I made up a bed on the couch by folding my duvet in half, placing it on the bed, then putting sheets over top.  Spitfire's never slept next to me like he is now, so I assume it's due to the comfy level of the bed.

15:21 * Cepheid finds a bug in his code, thanks to a reminder from Avorion and Space Engineers screenshots.

15:22 <LibrarianofHope> i sold an avengers thingie, so i can comftably pay for fire emblem and save money

15:22 * Cepheid goes to get headphones. The quiet is bothering him for a chance.

15:22 <Cepheid> You ever hear of the phrase "My ears are burning"?

15:23 <LibrarianofHope> in the someone talks abut you sense

15:23 <LibrarianofHope> ?

15:23 <Cepheid> That's the phrase, yeah.  Not in that sense, though.  I meant more in a "The sensation of one's ears burning" which never actually happens, but..

15:24 <LibrarianofHope> not really

15:24 <Cepheid> Basically, I've gone so long listening to the same sound(The A/C and a fan), that my ears feel like there's something touching or moving about in them.

15:24 <Cepheid> This usually happens when I've endured a level of quietness, or level of loudness, for too long.

15:24 <Cepheid> In the case of loudness, it feels like something's pressing against my ears, interior and all.

15:25 <LibrarianofHope> sort of

15:26 <LibrarianofHope> mostly to me it would be an enviromental sound that i dont recognize, if it persists it annoys me

15:26 <Cepheid> I find persistent, steady noise quieting.

15:26 <Cepheid> Or at least, my form of quiet.

15:26 <Cepheid> If it's inconsistent, say, changing in volume at a variable level, then yeah, it'll annoy me.

15:27 <Cepheid> That's why conversations actually bother me so much.

15:27 <Cepheid> Because people raise and lower their voices a lot.

15:27 <Cepheid> That, and I kinda inadvertantly hear everything they say whether I want to or not.

15:27 <LibrarianofHope> it does sound annoying

15:27 <Cepheid> Nothing like listening to a pair of individuals who think they're being quiet talking about racist subjects and such.

15:28 <LibrarianofHope> yeah. had that experience too

15:28 <LibrarianofHope> on a nice restaurant i heard some apparebtly rich guys talking like they were in the purge mivies

15:29 <Cepheid> In the above case, I didn't do anything except send off a note to security about it.

15:29 <Cepheid> I would have stood up and said something, but I've created enough scenes on the school grounds.

15:29 <LibrarianofHope> why?

15:29 <Cepheid> I'm kinda concerned if security comes for me again, I may get expelled.

15:30 <LibrarianofHope> i dont condone such talk, but its not illegal to say it

15:30 <Cepheid> I've had security called on me three times, now.  In all cases, for panic attacks and... tendencies I don't want to think or speak of.

15:30 <Cepheid> No, but knowing me, it'd degrade to a fight.

15:30 <Cepheid> And then I'd punch a racist asshole.

15:30 <Cepheid> Justified as it may be, I'd be in the wrong.

15:31 <LibrarianofHope> yeah, no need for you to get in problems

15:31 <Cepheid> I have a bad temper, and I doubt I'd ever hit someone ever again, after the one time I got into a fight, but I'd rather not take that risk.

15:31 <Cepheid> In such situations, it'd be better for me to call on security to handle it

15:32 <Cepheid> They came along eventually and took care of the people.

15:33 <LibrarianofHope> my general way to deal with them is not deal with them if they do nothing

15:33 <Cepheid> Mmm.

15:33 <LibrarianofHope> my vision is giving a postive message to others , especialy kids.

15:33 <LibrarianofHope> give them a push in a better direction

15:33 <Cepheid> Some might take offense or have problems with that, these days.  I don't, since everyone knows what it is they need to do about stuff around them better than I do.

15:34 <Cepheid> There are people out there who say inaction causes trouble.

15:34 <Cepheid> I argue that people who don't act, probably don't for good reason, reasons I am unaware of.

15:34 <LibrarianofHope> rash action creates problems

15:34 <LibrarianofHope> i believe that the racists and the selfish will eventually die, we have to focus on the future

15:34 <Cepheid> For example, in my case, my reason is "I have a bad temper, which in this case is likely to get 'triggered' as people like to call it these days, and that won't solve or help anything."

15:35 <LibrarianofHope> consider this

15:35 <Cepheid> Mentally, my temper is the only thing that remains out of my control nowadays.

15:35 <Cepheid> Even having bad situations crop up because I made a mistake no longer causes me to panic anymore.

15:36 <LibrarianofHope> even if you acted against the racists. would you have changed their ways?

15:36 <Cepheid> I just own up to the fact that I made a mistake, do what I can to rectify the situation, and move on.

15:36 <Cepheid> I've considered that, LibrarianofHope.

15:36 <Cepheid> People don't like to be on the receiving end of lectures and such, so if they don't become aggressive, their behaviour is likely to tend towards feigning acceptance so they can get away from the source of their current, immediate trouble.

15:36 <LibrarianofHope> my point is, those people are worth not even that effort, let them die in their madness.

15:37 <LibrarianofHope> im not a judge, im a hopebringer, thats the only way to change the future

15:37 <Cepheid> I don't mean to be judgemental here, but I dislike it when people say that "x type of people should just die"

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> not like that

15:38 <Cepheid> A person should not "die" just because they have a negative view.

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> i mean that just let them be

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> they will eventualy die of whatever, dimishing their ways

15:38 <Cepheid> I disagree with that as well.

15:39 <LibrarianofHope> why?

15:39 <Cepheid> In the case of racism, some people aren't racist because of negative interactions with people of another "race"(We're all human, hence my quoting here.)

15:40 <Cepheid> They're racist because of upbringing, either by the family, or people around them who are racist to begin with.

15:40 <LibrarianofHope> yep, i know

15:40 <Cepheid> In any case..

15:40 <LibrarianofHope> the idea is to focus on postive, helping things

15:40 <Cepheid> It is better to try and educate the people, than to leave them be, go about their lives with the views they have, with no understanding of how and/or why those views are wrong.

15:40 <Cepheid> And if you happen to legitimately change a person's views, then you've done good.

15:41 <LibrarianofHope> i rather focus my efforts on more clear results.

15:41 <LibrarianofHope> you are not wrong

15:41 <Cepheid> I cannot do this, myself.  My temper would flare the moment they start making commentary that peeves me off.  My sister is better at this sort of thing than I am, as she is the debater.

15:41 <LibrarianofHope> but i like my methos for my own goals

15:41 <Cepheid> So I stay away from such actions, myself.  I delegate to people who are better at handling such situations.

15:42 <LibrarianofHope> the thing is,chanign them is incrdibly hard

15:42 <Cepheid> In the above case, I delegated to the campus security, because at best, they'll try to educate the people, at worst, they'll have them removed, and make the place "safe" for others to be in again.

15:42 <Cepheid> Yes, I am aware.

15:43 <LibrarianofHope> i dont hae my views out of hatred or coldness, its the best way i came to make the world better

15:44 <Cepheid> I'm actually just pointing out that I disagreed with something you said.  Not expecting you to change your views, or to become some sort of debater who goes and educates people.  You know you, I know I.

15:44 <Cepheid> We know what our limitations are on making the world a better place.

15:44 <Cepheid> I do so by wanting to make games, by playing games with others, and helping folks through depression and such when I can.

15:44 <Cepheid> My sister does so by teaching, being a kind individual to all people, regardless of race, creed, etc.

15:45 <Cepheid> And debating and defending others when needed.

15:46 <LibrarianofHope> im kinda trying to emulate mr rogers myself

15:46 <LibrarianofHope> different approach, but same spirit

15:47 <LibrarianofHope> that man is the perfect hopebringer to me

15:50 <Cepheid> I know what I have, I know what I can do, I know what I've been through.  I'll help the world by applying all of that as best I can.

15:54 <ADragonHoarding> I consider it always a mistake to make judgements regarding whole groups of people, myself. While on average a racist is unlikely to shift opinion (this is true of most people, really) it can and does happen - though usually as a result of a personal interaction they had that shook up what they thought they knew, rather than as a result of logic or argument.

15:54 <ADragonHoarding> I recommend approaching each actual interaction on a case-by-case basis.

15:55 <LibrarianofHope> yeah

15:55 <LibrarianofHope> might be the predispostion of internet nonsense

15:56 <ADragonHoarding> It's very easy to make snap judgements based on stuff on the internet.

15:56 <Cepheid> It's also easy to blame the Internet in general.

15:56 <Cepheid> I can confirm that the problem existed prior to the Internet becoming mainstream.

15:56 <Cepheid> It just expressed itself differently, and on top of that?

15:56 <Cepheid> You usually only ever saw the local stuff.

15:57 <ADragonHoarding> Yes. The internet acts as a megaphone - it makes it louder, sure, but it doesn't create the noise itself.

15:57 <Cepheid> The only thing the Internet has done, is make it more apparent, because now an individual can see just how widespread a given problem is, due to information coming in from all around the world.

15:57 <Cepheid> No longer is your source of information on something restricted to local and relatively-local stuff.  It's from the world all around.

16:00 <Cepheid> The only other thing I can think of that the Internet as a whole has done, is basically provide these disparate groups and peoples a place to congregate in a manner that doesn't allow them to be judged.

16:03 <ADragonHoarding> which, it should be noted, also holds true for the same groups that tend to be oppressed and marginalized

16:05 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

16:05 <Cepheid> Which in a way makes the overall problem worse.

16:06 <Cepheid> People who are negative about something will gravitate together, and re-enforce the negativity, making things worse until it just bursts.

16:06 <Cepheid> It gets worse if two opposing views interact in the process.

16:06 <ADragonHoarding> true, but again, that's human nature.

16:06 <ADragonHoarding> not much different from a gated community.

16:07 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

16:07 <Cepheid> Anyways, to a light-hearted topic.

16:07 <Cepheid> As announced yesterday, and probably missed by a few folks of import, I plan to do something this year, during the Winter months.

16:07 <ADragonHoarding> oh yeah?

16:08 <Cepheid> There's an event here in Ottawa, the Polar Bear plunge.  You get sponsors, who donate money to you, which you then donate towards an organization of your choice.  In return, you have to jump into either a lake(If the lake is frozen-over enough), or a pool of freezing-cold water.

16:08 <Cepheid> I've decided I'm gonna do it.  Money I get from sponsors will be donated to mental health awareness/research/treatment/cures.

16:09 <ADragonHoarding> nice

16:09 <Cepheid> I've asked my parents to record the event for when I do it.

16:09 <Cepheid> So if you folks want to see me do it, you'll be able to.  Warning though, I may be in a speedo. :P

16:10 <ADragonHoarding> hahaha

16:10 <Cepheid> OR at least something tight so I don't lose my pants, anyways.

16:11 <Cepheid> I just... I dunno.

16:11 <Cepheid> I feel like, after what that psychiatrist has done for me, I kind of need to repay mental health awareness and such for what it's done.

16:11 <ADragonHoarding> Makes sense

16:11 <Cepheid> Were it not for any of that, I'd likely still be having episodes all the time.

16:12 <Cepheid> And at the moment, while I *CAN* donate money, what money I earn and have right now kind of has to be focused towards education and my career choice, until I can get a better job.

16:12 <Cepheid> That there are approaches that allow me to donate money to such organizations without spending my own money..  Well, that helps me a lot.

16:15 *** Quits: Bubs (crap@Pony-uh4.o2r.127.80.IP) (Connection closed)

16:19 <Cepheid> It's okay to be upset that your local government is screwing over mental health funding, but there's only so much that can be done about that.  And for some reason..

16:20 <Cepheid> There's absolutely no awareness of the issue, or protests, or anything of the sort.

16:20 <Cepheid> Or even interest in any of that.

16:21 <Cepheid> No, a good fraction of the focus on protests of stuff, funding issues and the like, have been focused entirely on autism.  The rest on environmental causes.

16:21 <Cepheid> Autism program funding has also been cut by the provincial government, and put elsewhere.

16:22 <Cepheid> About the only "good" thing the provincial government has done as far as I'm concerned, is the Buck-a-Beer program.

19:41 <LibrarianofHope> my neru is an angry woman, what does that say of me as her creator?

19:49 <Cepheid> ...

19:49 <Cepheid> So, I'm rebuilding my PC to re-arrange parts, cables, etc.

19:49 <Cepheid> And I'm looking at my RTX 2060, which has this really bright LED flashing thing on it.

19:49 <Cepheid> And I notice something.

19:50 <Cepheid> There's a smaaaaalll little button near the back of the card, next to the RGB plate.

19:50 <Cepheid> And next to it, a switch.

19:52 <Cepheid> Turns out the switch switches between two BIOSes.  One for quiet fan mode operation(The default, apparently), and a performance mode.

19:52 <Cepheid> Where the fan will ramp up more aggressively.

19:53 <Cepheid> It apparently also has a couple of PWM/DC fan connectors for case fans.  o3o;

20:02 <Cepheid> Hum.  12V cable is nearing the back case fan, which is not covered.  Risk of damage.  Need to hold it in place with something.

20:07 <Cepheid> That'll have to do.

20:31 * Golden flops angerly. He posted on the monster hunter amino asking for help getting things for his build, and then someone started to give him grief for saying build instead set.

20:32 <LibrarianofHope> internet, not a nice play

20:33 <Golden> I thought I misspelled something, and apologized saying I typed the post around 3 AM. The guy still said that "It's set not build."

20:33 <LibrarianofHope> you are actually right you know

20:34 <LibrarianofHope> set is the game specific term, but in this sort of game build is perfectly valid

20:34 <Golden> Yeah! Set is used for a complete armor. From head to to of a certain monster.

20:35 <Golden> I had to edit the post to say not to give me grief over my bloody word choice.

20:35 <LibrarianofHope> yep, most mix and match

20:35 <LibrarianofHope> albeit rathalos armor looks sooo good compleyr

20:38 <LibrarianofHope> what were you trying to build anyway?

20:41 <Golden> I am trying to build something that helps out the Empress Edge Styx that I use. I already seen a build from a youtuber who has a build for the SnS, but I don't have the required jewels.

20:42 <LibrarianofHope> havent played in ages, what type of weapon is that?

20:46 <LibrarianofHope> i tried again years later and noticed that i had never upgraded my armor or weapon, hence i could not kill the big velociprey
