12:07 <Lumindia> GG leather?

12:07 <Schism> Green Gliders.

12:09 <Schism> Oh right, I can cheese GSM, because rapiers are easy to make.

12:15 <Schism> (And because I may have mined enough stonegold to choke an Amaro.)

16:51 <Cepheid> Explaining my reasoning behind the request, as well.

16:52 <Cepheid> This is ridiculous.  There are a lot of courses that I am simply exempt from because they are covered under another program that is still within the realm of computer science.

22:31 * Schism eyerolls. "Oh, Lumin, got up to CUL80, as is appropriate for me. o3o And ALC is my next objective.

22:31 <Ali> Well, at least not since their last xpac

22:31 <Lumindia> yeah, we've beaten WoW in active playerbase and subscriptions(afaik)

22:32 <Schism> Oh, surprise surprise.  Of course, it's an expansion spike, but even so, that's nice to see.

22:32 <Lumindia> like I said, the manchildren are upset

22:33 <Ali> Wow has slumped hard anyway

22:34 <Ali> I mean they still have a monthy pay service...

22:34 <Schism> Well, so's FFXIV.

22:34 <Schism> The monthly-sub thing, that is.

22:34 <Ali> Bleh

22:34 <Ali> I mean wow does have the wow token but I can never afford that in game.

22:35 <Lumindia> eexcept XIV has STORY

22:35 <Lumindia> that's not locked behind raids

22:35 <Ali> So did WoW at one point

22:35 <Ali> Come do think of it

22:35 <Lumindia> half of WoW's lore is in frickin' external sources

22:35 <Ali> Wonder how Emo Proudmore is doing now

22:35 <Lumindia> like, you remember how we captured Garrosh after MoP?

22:36 <Lumindia> you had to read a frickin' book to get the details on how he managed to escape

22:36 <Ali> Meh

22:36 <Ali> Legion was a horrible expansion

22:36 <Lumindia> that was Warlords

22:36 <Schism> And in contrast, all of FFXIV's story is in-game.  Well, there are a few additional resources, here and there, but small things.

22:36 <Ali> Since every mob now stays 1-3 levels

22:36 <Schism> Oh right, mob scaling.  Hah.

22:36 <Ali> I hate mob scaling

22:36 <Ali> Squish classes suffer the most from that

22:36 <Lumindia> yeah, there's like, a few external stories, but nothing essential to the game

22:37 <Ali> I remember sucking as a mage cause I couldn't survive more than one mob

22:37 <Lumindia> mostly like 'a scene from a character's backstory' or 'what's this character been up to since they went off'

22:37 <Schism> Yuppers, though I'm getting the hang of black mage.  Namely, 'kill them before they kill you'.

22:37 <Schism> (Even enemies a level or two above.)

22:37 <Ali> Well I used to main a mage for a long time in WoW

22:37 <Ali> But they nerfed DPS and inflated mob HP to insane levels

22:37 <Ali> And they hit like a ton of bricks

22:37 * Lumindia brushes Ali

22:38 <Ali> Like Legion mobs used to have about 1M HP

22:38 <Schism> Ahh.  We've not gotten those first two bits in FFXIV.  Though mobs will quite happily tear a BLM's face off, given half the chance.

22:38 <Lumindia> well they'll do that with any DPS

22:38 <Schism> Nonsense, my monk is nowhere NEAR that squishy.

22:38 <Lumindia> '-'

22:38 * Lumindia shirks eTitan onto Schism

22:38 <Lumindia> have fun

22:38 * Schism still manages to be the last one standing in the raid.

22:39 <Schism> Mechanics, I know them.  o3o

22:39 <Ali> I remember during a whipe

22:39 <Lumindia> I'm sorry, I'm fairly certain those autos are hitting you for, like, 26k

22:39 <Ali> That if a mage invis's and is the last one standing, they don't die

22:39 <Schism> Eh, closer to 20, but... yeah, okay, okay.

22:39 <Ali> So it always saved you a few gold, until someone facepulls the boss during mass rez

22:40 <Lumindia> btw schism, have you praised the great serpent of ronka today?

22:40 <Schism> Of course.  Praise the skree.

22:40 <Lumindia> Scree

22:40 <Lumindia> o 3o

22:41 * Schism puts the Great Serpent of Skree on Filly_Nightmares' head.

22:41 *** Joins: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-vrt.ugb.207.187.IP)

22:42 <Schism> Lumindia, it would SURE BE NICE if I could get into a Titania EX group that's not 'iLvl 345 minimum, KNOW ALL THE MECHANICS and if you wipe we'll verbally abuse you until you kick yourself'.

22:42 <Schism> 445*

22:42 <Ali> Welcome to hard core raiding

22:42 <LibrarianofHope> i spent half the day fixing an issue with fedex breaking an item i sold

22:42 <LibrarianofHope> heck me

22:42 * Cepheid sets the lights above Schism to white light, 4000K.

22:43 * Ali squees and glomps Cepheid for no real reason

22:43 <Cepheid> Hi.

22:43 * Schism kinda prefers warm lights. But his lights are currently all off, because the windows are letting in plenty of natural stuff.

22:44 <LibrarianofHope> no light, embrace the darkness

22:44 * LibrarianofHope goes edgy boi

22:45 <Cepheid> I got me some programmable color lights.

22:46 <Cepheid> https://www.lifx.com/products/lifx-mini-color-e26 these.

22:46 <PinkieShy> I'm at the triggered point.. :/

22:47 <PinkieShy> Telemarketer or whatever must have us on a computer set to call us like 5 times or more a day..

22:48 <Schism> Yup... they do that.

22:48 <Cepheid> Doesn't require a smart hub either.  Works with plain old Wi-Fi.

22:48 <Schism> So.  Back in 2014, an FBI raid in Arizona against the 'Body Research Center' turned up the kind of thing that would belong in a splatter film.  Bags full of heads, buckets full of limbs, a cooler full of... genitalia... and even Frankensteinian insanity.  This, this is not the punchline.  The punchline is the owner's name.

22:48 <Lumindia> '-'

22:48 <Schism> It was owned by one 'Stephen Gore'.

22:48 <Cepheid> Even better.  The protocol is open.  You can write your own software.

22:49 * LibrarianofHope bangs head in table to forget the last story

22:49 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, it's a horror show, but sometimes, sometimes you have to laugh... right?

22:50 <LibrarianofHope> nope, i hunt prey and protect against horror, i laugh at cute puppies

22:50 <LibrarianofHope> biiig difference

22:50 * LibrarianofHope glomps ali to acquire cuteness

22:51 * Ali isn't cute though so there's no cuteness to aquire

22:51 <LibrarianofHope> my sense is dark humour is nil

22:51 * LibrarianofHope polishes ali until shiny mod

22:51 <LibrarianofHope> ummm

22:52 <Schism> Shiny Ali?  That's a rare set of IVs.

22:52 * Ali has 0's in everything

22:52 <LibrarianofHope> if ali tinkered with a fan made extension of a game

22:52 <LibrarianofHope> then mod mods mod

22:54 <LibrarianofHope> come on thats a good one

22:55 <Cepheid> Good enough to kill.

22:55 * Filly_Nightmares kneads Cepheid

22:56 <Lumindia> la hee

22:56 * Lumindia screes quietly at Surry

22:57 * Schism disconsolately mutters, "Loli-ha."

23:07 * Filly_Nightmares skreeeees and floofsplodes at Lumindia!

23:11 * Lumindia hugs Surry lots! :D

23:40 * Schism wraps a frozen flaxseed pack around Surry!

23:40 <Cepheid> Holy cripes.  Now that it is getting dark in here...

23:41 <Cepheid> I put the bulbs to max.  Ow.

23:41 <Cepheid> For such small bulbs these things are like the sun.  Only no burning.

23:52 <Cepheid> You...  Just ate a light bulb.  Whole.

23:52 <Ali> Sounds like Filly_Nightmares

23:52 * Cepheid taps app. Light is registered. Sets it to green, full brightness.
