00:06 <DerpyBot> Jackie: Silly filly, your eyes are all derpy. Unixkitty is in the channel.
00:07 <Jackie> DerpyBot should get a proper seen command
00:07 <Schism> !seen DerpyBot
00:07 <PinkieShy> My Soda drinking went crazy in just 7 days time.
00:07 <DerpyBot> Look into my eyes.. 6_9
00:07 * DerpyBot puts her front hooves on Schism's shoulders.
00:07 <Jackie> Like what time and date
00:07 <PinkieShy> I stopped myself pretty much for at least 2 weeks now.. trying to stick to water and tea :)
00:07 <Jackie> And importantly message
00:07 <Schism> Uh, Jackie...
00:08 <Schism> !seen Thelema5
00:08 <DerpyBot> Schism: The last time I saw Thelema5 was 2019-07-28 22:04:56 UTC
00:08 <Schism> You mean like THAT?
00:08 <Jackie> I think DerpyBot should be open source after years
00:08 <PinkieShy> after realizing almost going through 12 pack of mountain dew and a pack of 24 of coca cola.. uhh.. that's a majorly overboard.
00:08 <PinkieShy> Like i didn't drink all of them but its not exactly full or what you would expect someone to drink that fast lol
00:08 <Jackie> So that I can contribute to DerpyBot
00:09 <PinkieShy> I miss Thelema5 being here and speaking to them :(
00:10 <Jackie> They still come here though
00:11 <Jackie> And where is Gladious?!
00:11 <Jackie> They were here like a week ago
00:11 <Cepheid> Good luck getting DerpyBot open-sourced. Really, just use a pre-existing bot implementation

00:15 <ADragonDreaming> I think it's more that Jackie wants to add features.
00:16 <ADragonDreaming> or tweak existing ones.
00:16 <ADragonDreaming> for use here.
00:16 <PinkieShy> Fixed the item that broke from dollar tree..
00:16 <PinkieShy> Super glue is amazing to have around :3
00:16 <Cepheid> Problem is, the person who runs the bot A) Likely won't open-source it, and B) Most definitely won't restart the bot constantly for every release and/or change.
00:16 <PinkieShy> a line around the super glue on the product and pushing the cap back down and.. Its stuck :D

00:23 <Jackie> Also I'm using a VPN if that's legal here
00:24 <Cepheid> It is.
00:28 <ADragonDreaming> you meant legal in the channel?
00:29 <Cepheid> On the network in general, I think.
00:29 <ADragonDreaming> IIRC the network pops up a notification about how to do TOR access with every login so...
00:29 <ADragonDreaming> pretty sure if they actively tell you how to access via TOR, they're fine with VPNs.

00:45 <Cepheid> Heh.
00:46 <Cepheid> As a side effect of my harvesting of rare items, I'm accrueing money.
00:47 * Jackie picks up Filly_Nightmares
00:51 <DashedRainbows> Jackie: yes there are crazy folk still making them like me
00:51 * Jackie finds one in GitHub
00:52 <DashedRainbows> Once the code is working I'll upload it somewhere
00:52 <DashedRainbows> Public domain ftw
00:53 <DashedRainbows> Actually the core is multi protocol

01:33 <ADragonDreaming> I just found a cloak of Nondetection on a bunch of random taslois.
01:33 <ADragonDreaming> Why.
01:34 <Cepheid> No idea.
01:35 <Schism> These maps...
01:38 <Cepheid> Effin finally. The Sea Bead.
01:39 <Cepheid> Also, parents watching The Avengers. Up to the point where Loki gets slammed around.

02:02 <Cepheid> Making accessing a bunch of treasure chests and other unaccessible areas possible. Also, shortcuts everywhere! o3o *Would do a flailing, happy kraken emoji here, if one existed, and IRC supported it.*

02:21 <Cepheid> Heh. No, they just pushed me out of the way.
02:30 <ADragonDreaming> So, in a GURPs game, my character and his sister (another PC) decided to try and see through each other's eyes deliberately instead of unconsciously.
02:30 <ADragonDreaming> other player rolled all 1's.
02:30 <ADragonDreaming> I rolled all 6's.
02:30 <ADragonDreaming> We are now in a body-swap situation.
02:32 <Schism> Whoops. o3o;
02:44 <Cepheid> Aaaahhhh....
02:45 <Cepheid> The pain is back, the fever's back, and I feel worse now. I'm feeling dizzy the world keeps "wobbling" to me. I don't know how else to describe the sensation.
02:45 <Cepheid> It's like a wave is going up or down my body, not a cold or hot one, but whatever it does, it makes anything it passes by hurt.
02:48 <Cepheid> I'm hot-blooded, check it and see. I have a fever of 101~!
02:51 <ADragonDreaming> that doesn't rhyme
02:51 <ADragonDreaming> but I get it
02:53 <Cepheid> Heh.
02:54 <Cepheid> As long as I don't start hallucinating. That said, I also just took some more tylenol, so the fever should drop shortly.
02:55 <Schism> That's... aaaaagh.

03:09 <Cepheid> I know I'm whining a lot, it's just this... feels different from the last few times. I dunno how to describe it.
03:11 <Schism> Nah, that's not whining, honestly.
03:20 <Cepheid> There. Starting to kick in.
03:37 <Schism> Huzzah. o.o
03:38 <Cepheid> I feel like an ice pack might be warranted for my head right now.
03:38 <Cepheid> Alas, I have none.
03:39 <Schism> Wrap some ice in a plastic bag and a towel?
04:22 <Cepheid> Man, I'm either dedicated or an idiot.
04:22 <Cepheid> I'm coding right now.
04:23 * Ali puts a biter on Cepheid
04:25 * Cepheid pets it.

05:02 * ConfusionRift pets DashedRainbows. :P
05:02 <DashedRainbows> Sniff sniff
05:03 <DashedRainbows> I forgot how hot it is here
05:04 <DashedRainbows> Still feel overheated, hours later
05:04 * PinkieShy licks DashedRainbows
05:04 * DashedRainbows tastes slight roasted
05:04 * ConfusionRift offers DashedRainbows some cold water.
05:06 * DashedRainbows chews on PinkieShy's hooves
05:06 <DashedRainbows> Hooves are hard
05:08 <PinkieShy> Amazon took their money for the safety razor now :3
05:08 * DashedRainbows gives ConfusionRift her chew toy and barks
05:08 <PinkieShy> I'm guessing monday they'll probably send it out
05:08 <PinkieShy> So my first quality safety razor with sampler pack of blades.. yay..
05:08 <ConfusionRift> Huzzah!
05:09 * ConfusionRift plays around DashedRainbows. :P
05:10 * DashedRainbows curls up on PinkieShy and hugs all the horses like plushies
05:10 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, seems the A/C at work was off. Just felt nothing but heat.
05:10 <Cepheid> Hey Rifty. How goes it?
05:10 <Schism> Auh. At least things are cooling down a little?
05:10 <ConfusionRift> Doing alright. Just taking it easy.
05:11 <DashedRainbows> You survived! Huzzah
05:11 <ConfusionRift> Schism: No longer at work, but it was an oven for the majority of the evening.
05:12 <ConfusionRift> Yep. Day survivor, but still have to keep my eyes open for these next few days.
05:13 * DashedRainbows claps her hooves
05:13 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Watching someone play Space Engineers with a KSP mod.
05:15 <ConfusionRift> Someone managed to make a ship, take off, and land on the "Mun". They posted the screenshot on stream, and there are already a few saying it was faked. :P
05:16 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-360sli.charlton.irccloud.com)
05:16 <Cepheid> Heh.
05:16 <ConfusionRift> "You can see the studio lights!"
05:16 <Schism> Hah! I like that.
05:17 <Cepheid> Guh. I need to eat. That means getting up and moving.
05:17 <Schism> Cepheid: I suggest a peanut butter, grape jelly and bacon sandwich.
05:20 * Golden just got home from DnD. His Dragonborn Socereress was knocked unconscious from a hag charging into the character at full speed.
05:21 <Golden> Note the character was only 1st level, and do to a bad role only had 9 HP
05:21 <Cepheid> Some Stouffer's Crustinis. Bacon, Ham, Cheese.
05:22 <Cepheid> It'll fill me up. Also some slices of actual cheese, and some sedatives to knock me out later.
05:22 <Cepheid> So that I get some sleep.
05:23 * ConfusionRift nods.
05:23 <Schism> Remember when 9 HP was a perfectly reasonable amount of HP for a Sorceress to have?
05:23 <Golden> Also because of the fact my DM used sharks, and my Dragonborn breath weapon is lightning I basically got my part from level 1 to 5 in one battle.
05:23 <Schism> At level 1...
05:24 <Golden> Party*
05:24 * Cepheid curls up on ConfusionRift and tries to sleep. He feels like he's on fire.
05:24 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;
05:24 <ConfusionRift> Still pretty bad, huh.
05:24 <Golden> Which ended up getting my sorceress up to 39 hp.
05:25 * ConfusionRift gives Cepheid some cold water. and lightly blankets him.
05:25 <Cepheid> Worse today than I was yesterday. Much worse.
05:25 <Golden> Funny thing is my Dm said to me that we weren't supposed to fight the sharks.
05:25 <Cepheid> I've a fever of 100.5 right now. It's gone down all of .3
05:25 <Cepheid> Always fight and kill everything, Golden.
05:25 <Cepheid> Even the tavernkeep. Can't leave any witnesses, after all.
05:26 <ConfusionRift> He might have a rare drop. :P
05:26 <Cepheid> That too.
05:26 <Cepheid> But it might have a condition for dropping. o3o </Etrian Odyssey Reference>
05:26 * ConfusionRift receives an item for a pet that does... nothing.
05:27 <Golden> The party was in a jail with water surrounding most of the sides.
05:27 <ConfusionRift> Spin skull, spin!
05:27 <Cepheid> So, you had to kill the ocean, then.
05:27 * ConfusionRift laughs.
05:27 <Golden> It was in a town in the desert.
05:28 <Cepheid> If you got a wish in a D&D game, and you wished for the ocean to disappear, would you get EXP for all the marine life that promptly dies?
05:28 <Schism> Alas, the Wish spell is a bit more limited than that.
05:28 <Cepheid> Darn.
05:28 <Schism> There are plenty of other ways to accomplish that. A permanent portal into an elemental plane, for example.
05:28 <Cepheid> Fine, I wish I can breathe and cast magic underwater.
05:28 <ConfusionRift> "Okay, you're in jail, and mostly surrounded by water. You can see there are cracks on-" | "I wanna kill the water!" | "... ... ...come again?"
05:29 <Golden> The Jail room was floating over the water, and the sharks started to slam in to the floor above the water.
05:29 <Cepheid> Oh, one of those kinda traps.
05:29 <Golden> It wasn't really a trap.
05:29 <ConfusionRift> A jail cell over a jail cell.
05:29 <Cepheid> Awe.
05:30 <Cepheid> So no slowly lowering the party into a shark tank full of sharks with freakin' lasers shooting from their head?
05:30 <Golden> Just the way the jail was designed to stop those from escaping
05:30 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Sharks are kinda endangered, so we could only get... dolphins.
05:31 <Golden> Correct Ceph. But because my lightning breath electrocuted the water it killed the sharks without the party having to jump into the water.
05:31 <Cepheid> That'll do. They're smarter, after all.
05:31 <ConfusionRift> Fun fact: Dolphins can be just as dangerous as sharks.
05:31 <Golden> The top fin of the sharks were five feet long
05:32 <Cepheid> For the record, Golden, I'm just being silly with all my commentary and questions because it alleviates some of the agony I'm dealing with right now.
05:32 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, kinda got the hint of that. :P
05:32 <Golden> It's okay. I understand :P
05:33 <ConfusionRift> Also... why not add sharks with lasers on their heads in DnD?
05:33 <ConfusionRift> Sorry, freakin' sharks with freakin' lasers attached to their freakin' heads.
05:33 <Cepheid> Heh.
05:34 <Golden> Because that would of one shot the party.
05:34 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, good point.
05:34 <Cepheid> Arguably, with combinations of spells, you could probably summon up a shark that can breathe in oxygen, is somehow able to walk upright, and is equipped with a laser gun jury-rigged from a lamp, a crystal, and arcane magic.
05:34 <ConfusionRift> How about one large shark with a cannon attached to its back. :P
05:34 <Golden> A level 1 sorceress with 9 hp would be dead in a heartbeat.
05:35 <Golden> That would destroy the floor slowly, and lead to a tpk.
05:35 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Oh, I can already see it. :P

05:35 <Cepheid> Later on, it learns how to dance, but it can't do it very well.
05:35 <Cepheid> It was last seen dancing behind a musician.
05:36 <Cepheid> Anyways, back upstairs to bed, now that I got some food in me.
05:36 <ConfusionRift> But he gets shy, so he just flops each time someone sees him. He just looks like a regular shark gasping for air.
05:36 <Golden> Also I took fireball for a third level spell. Since I also have 5 sorcery points I can basically double it's range, and make the saves against it to be put at disadvantage
05:38 <Golden> What makes it better is since my dm is going off of Xanathar's guide I will also be getting Divine Soul
05:39 <ConfusionRift> "So you summoned a shark... in the desert... with no water... against a desert tribe of hundreds. You just couldn't find a worse-" (sees the shark stand up, and pull out a gatling gun made of wood, stone, and shells) | "Pillage and perish..." (boom-boom-boom!)
05:40 <Cepheid> So, you know that scene in The Avengers where Loki gets his ass handed to him by The Hulk?
05:40 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
05:41 <Cepheid> I now know how Loki felt after that.
05:43 <Cepheid> I'm better now, for the moment. But I basically endured body aches all day because I played vidya games, or coded.
05:43 <ConfusionRift> I just rewatched that and din't noticed a tiny detail earlier. After getting whacked on the floor and left for nothing, there's this very light high pitch wheezing. "Maybe... that was a really... stupid idea."
05:43 <Cepheid> I think tomorrow I'll just stay horizontal and play vidya games that way.
05:44 <ConfusionRift> Oddly enough, that's how I feel when I play laying down for too long.
05:44 <Cepheid> Yep. Shows just how much it hurt basically. Sure, he is a god, but he still feels pain.
05:48 <Golden> Still though I am happy from that action alone I got my party to jump to level 5
05:49 <Cepheid> For me, every joint has been sore. Moving around is difficult. On top of this, at my worst I have a swirling headache of sorts. Spots of pain that move around my head. Also, waves of disruption moving from my head to my feet. It's like a jolt to my head and is quite visible. As it moves down the body, various nerves spaz out. Fortunately, Tylenol with codeine helps a bit.
05:49 <Cepheid> Yeah, I have to admit Golden, that is some grade-A thinking outside the box.
05:50 <Golden> My dm said the training wheels are off. So I took it as survivability now requires such thinking.
05:54 * Ali snugs ConfusionRift
05:56 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-l9b5kh.tpgi.com.au)
05:56 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali. :P
05:59 * Ali snugs ConfusionRift, playing Factorio alone is stressful at times as the unicorn creates pointless things to worry about.
05:59 <ConfusionRift> There's something scary in the ocean, and it sucks.
06:01 <ConfusionRift> You get no warning, aside from a tiny debuff letting you know that something's about to mince you. Then it just shows up, shoots a storm, and drills you with a homing machinegun of crystals.
06:01 <Ali> Did you use a truffle worm?
06:02 <Golden> What?
06:02 <ConfusionRift> Nope. A mod added more to the ocean biome. Apparently, if I kill a certain enemy and get these hard to see pickups, it can summon a boss.
06:03 <Schism> ConfusionRift, which mod is that then?
06:03 <ConfusionRift> Didn't know that, till I noticed a weird debuff on the bar.
06:03 <Cepheid> Sounds like Thorium Mod
06:03 <Schism> It does, yes.
06:03 <ConfusionRift> I think it is.
06:03 <ConfusionRift> Calamity changes the ocean biome near the dungeon and turns it to a sulphur waste with the abyss under it.
06:05 <ConfusionRift> I can't even look at that area yet. I just lose health stupid fast.
06:05 <ConfusionRift> It also damaged part of the dungeon.
06:06 <ConfusionRift> On the plus side, some of the weapons added are pretty awesome. :P
06:13 <PinkieShy> What..
06:13 <PinkieShy> Amazon said it would be a week before i get my package..
06:13 <PinkieShy> Checked it tonight and it says its coming tomorrow..
06:14 <PinkieShy> I doubt it though.. How can it all come from Ohio down to south carolina in just a few hours..
06:14 <PinkieShy> Hopefully Monday it will be :P
06:19 <Golden> PinkieShy either the way of travel was able to be quickened, or the warehouses got it out of each one quickly
06:19 <PinkieShy> Only other thing i can think of is its coming airplane lol
06:22 <Golden> Okay then. It's most likely the warehouses getting the package scanned, and carried on quickly.
06:22 <Golden> Trust me. I worked at one of those tartarus holes known as the Amazon warehouse
06:24 <PinkieShy> heh
06:24 <PinkieShy> Golden I sometimes wish there was one here where i lived so i could get a job working for amazon..
06:25 <PinkieShy> But chances of amazon ever putting a warehouse here is so extremely slim.
06:25 <PinkieShy> They got one up state I believe.
06:25 <Golden> Not worth it.
06:26 <Cepheid> Slleepyimr..
06:30 <Golden> Tons of safety issues for them pushing "oh we only have about 125 people here so might as have them scan a total over 45k packages." Not it is pure pain getting your have crushed between two heavy boxes that weigh as much as 70+ pounds, and or between the metal rollers, and a heavy box.
06:31 <Golden> Can't do much about how or when to grab the boxes for the speed at which they are coming quickly fills up every sorting line up past 100%
06:32 <Golden> Yeah it is not fun to work at Amazon.
06:36 <ConfusionRift> Okay, quick question... ocean or dungeon?

16:37 <Cepheid> Lumindia: Yeah, most of the music in the entire Etrian Odyssey series is awesome. Even the non-battle stuff.
16:37 <Cepheid> My favourite non-combat theme is the one that plays when the party encounters a "dark" situation.
16:38 <Cepheid> The musician knew what he was doing when he composed the music for the series.
16:39 <Cepheid> On top of that, EO3 seems to have been a favourite for the musician. After EO3, the games started including more and more remixes of music from EO3 specifically. And for the later games, entirely replaced "well-known" tracks from earlier games.
16:39 <Cepheid> Like Scatter About, which for EO1 through to 3 included, was a specialized theme that screamed "You're boned."
16:39 <Cepheid> It was later replaced with End of the Raging Waves remixes. Though I think it stuck around in EO4 for one last hurrah.
16:40 <Cepheid> Ah, it did, yeah.
16:40 <Cepheid> After that, in EO5 and Nexus, it was replaced with End of the Raging Waves explicitly. Though I think Nexus brings it back due to it's "Let's converge the entire series to one ending point." nature.
16:43 <Ali> Cepheid, have you felt sometimes in Factorio RNG is out to get you?
16:44 <Ali> I have coal in 3 places to the south of me, only coal I can see on the map
16:44 <Cepheid> Ali, I have felt that the RNG period is out to get me.
16:44 <Ali> Surrounded by 15 bug bases X.x
16:44 <Cepheid> I pass every saving roll to not die from various things, but I fail every saving roll to not get sick and suffer horrific pain.
16:44 <Cepheid> And in games? It's even worse.
16:44 * Ali nod nods and hugs
16:45 <Cepheid> Every time. *EVERY TIME* an item drops in a game, it is always something that someone else I personally know, needs. And never anything I need.
16:45 <Cepheid> You bring me along to get that 0.0001% drop rate item? You'll get it.
16:45 <Ali> Sounds about right
16:45 <Ali> I used to farm in WoW Kael for his stupid flying mount
16:45 <Ali> 7 years and still don't have the thing
16:45 <Cepheid> Everyone else would get what they need but you?
16:45 <Ali> Pretty much
16:45 <Cepheid> Yep, same here. I'm a good luck charm for it.
16:46 <Ali> Or you'd get a super rare drop for the wrong class
16:46 <Cepheid> That said, despite my whining about the RNG, I am extremely adaptable.

16:46 <Cepheid> https://www.wowhead.com/item=32837/warglaive-of-azzinoth This?
16:46 <Ali> Want to move it to a character that can? Nope sorry, BoP
16:47 <Cepheid> So you got a legendary-class item, is what you're saying.
16:47 <Ali> And the wrong class
16:47 <Ali> On*
16:47 <Cepheid> This is why MMOs need armor and weapon stands.
16:47 <Cepheid> Or dummies.
16:47 <Cepheid> Get a rare drop you can't use, but it's just so damned legendary you want to show off?
16:47 <Cepheid> Put it on an armor or weapon stand.
16:48 <Ali> Well they have a feature to make other weapons look like it
16:48 <Ali> But again
16:48 <Ali> Wrong class, can't use
16:48 <Ali> Can't even bling it off
16:48 <Cepheid> Yeah.
16:48 <Cepheid> That's silly.
16:48 <Ali> And it has a terrible drop rate as you already know, but what makes it worse is its from a raid
16:48 <Cepheid> But I'll be honest, I've never gotten anything *THAT* legendary.
16:48 <Ali> And raids have a 7 day lockout
16:49 <Cepheid> No, my luck is more of the kind of "I kill the first enemy in the game, and I get a rare, or epic item."
16:49 <Cepheid> I can't use it, but there it is.
16:49 <Ali> Would it be BoP or BoE?
16:49 <Cepheid> Depends on the game.
16:49 <Ali> At least if its BoE you can sell it on the AH
16:49 <Cepheid> In this particular case where it happened, neither.
16:49 <Cepheid> It was an ARPG game.
16:50 <Ali> But yeah if its a game you can't, that is annoying
16:50 <Cepheid> That said, selling it was troublesome.
16:50 <Ali> I bet it was
16:50 <Cepheid> Since the game doesn't have a market like in other games, aaaannnd...
16:50 <Ali> WoW overvalues everything now
16:50 <Cepheid> There's no typical "currency" you expect.
16:50 <Ali> Like the most basic of resources sell for hundreds of gold
16:50 <Cepheid> It's a barter system.
16:50 <Ali> Fun times
16:51 <Cepheid> Path of Exile uses a bartering system, so basically items and equipment are traded based on value of the items.
16:51 <Cepheid> It has a "currency" but that's in the form of items.
16:51 <Ali> I know I haven't played the most recent WoW but I wonder if they fixed the crafting system....NAHHHHHHHH
16:52 <Ali> If your skills aren't alchemy,inscription[which has probably been nerfed down to cosmetic stuff instead of power], and enchanting.
16:52 <Cepheid> Your lowest-level currency in PoE is basically fragments of a complete item. Next level up is the complete items. Next level up is the rarer items. Next level up is the rarest items.
16:52 <Ali> The rest are worthless
16:52 <Cepheid> And the most basic currency is a scroll of identify
16:52 <Ali> Seems strange
16:53 <Ali> I sometimes miss WoW but there's no point in going back. I'll never get the gold needed in game to effectively play it.
16:53 <Cepheid> It was to avoid having to create gold sinks.
16:53 <Cepheid> And overall, in comparison to games *WITH* gold sinks, it works.
16:54 <Ali> Cepheid, you know WoWs lame attempt at a free play thing, the WoW Token?
16:54 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm familiar with it.
16:54 <Cepheid> Extremely expensive, right?
16:55 <Ali> Last time I saw, it was about 25-28k gold
16:55 <Cepheid> Same thing with EVE Online. They have a purchaseable currency called PLEX. You can sell it or buy it in-game.
16:55 <Cepheid> Sells for nearly a billion ISK per unit.
16:55 <Ali> Guess how much this mare usually has on one character
16:55 <Cepheid> Not even a few gold?
16:55 <Ali> 5000
16:56 <Ali> A brand new character grind up can get me close to 10k
16:56 <Ali> But never close to that ungodly amount to keep playing
16:56 <Cepheid> Heh.
16:56 <Cepheid> Let's see now..
16:57 <Ali> And the AH is broken as crap, since everything is overpriced due to how much gold everyone has at the top
16:57 <Cepheid> Oh, I misrepresented the amount that PLEX is worth.
16:57 <Cepheid> In some of the areas around the core systems, it's about 3-4 million.
16:57 <Ali> Oh...dear god...
16:57 <Cepheid> And you need 100 of it or so to get game time.
16:57 <Ali> Cepheid, there's an online tracker of how much WoW tokens go for...
16:57 <Cepheid> Of course there is.
16:58 <Ali> US: 137k
16:58 <Cepheid> Sooounds about right yeah.
16:58 <Cepheid> As more and more expansions are added to the game, the price will continue to increase.
16:58 <Ali> But that's just crazy
16:59 <Cepheid> The cause being simply that it's value is often related to the value of the higher-end gear, since said gear, when sold, can allow the purchase of lower-priced stuff.
16:59 <Ali> The game balance in the AH is already busted
16:59 <Cepheid> It's a problem in all AHes.
16:59 <Ali> Like simple green gear for totally new players on the AH
16:59 <Cepheid> Even the EVE Devs are getting concerned.
16:59 <Ali> Is hundreds of gold
16:59 <Ali> How does a new player start when the AH is so borked
16:59 <Cepheid> They've started screwing with the players in an attempt to screw with the market.
17:00 <Ali> Even then, I've never had success with the AH
17:00 <Cepheid> The problem there is that those tokens?
17:00 <Cepheid> You can presumably buy one from outside of the game.
17:00 <Ali> Eeyup you can
17:00 <Cepheid> For a comparatively cheap price.
17:00 <Ali> 20 bucks for 1
17:00 <Cepheid> Yeah.
17:00 <Cepheid> My point is..
17:01 <Cepheid> It's a one-time payment, and you get yourself something worth ~100k and above.
17:01 <Cepheid> Sell it on the market, and you can buy your gear.
17:01 <Ali> I understand that
17:01 <Cepheid> That's why the AH is so unbalanced.
17:01 <Cepheid> It's because of the tokens.
17:01 <Cepheid> They serve as gold sinks, but they also ruin the markets of the game.
17:01 <Ali> But for a poor pone like me, I just can't afford their sub time anymore.
17:02 <Cepheid> Trust me, I am well aware of the problem of gathering that much money for an item.

17:02 <Cepheid> Again, I play EVE. A game where you have to manipulate the market to get what you need.
17:02 <Cepheid> And right now, EVE is in a state of chaos.
17:02 <Cepheid> The developers are screwing with the players intentionally to create chaos.
17:03 <Cepheid> They're spawning fleets of ships to attack and destroy player-owned stations INTENTIONALLY, and changing rules regarding stuff.
17:03 <Ali> What's more annoying is some of the regions have flying mounts blocked off unless you do this annoyingly long ass chain of events that are no longer relevent to unlock it.
17:03 <Cepheid> Like, you no longer know who's in a given system when you enter it, through the chat window.
17:03 <Cepheid> Players actually have to go out there and scan for other players in a system now, when in the past, they could just warp in, sit at the heavily-guarded gate, and see if a player is in the system.
17:04 <Ali> Fun fun
17:04 <Cepheid> In a way, it's good for players.
17:04 <Cepheid> Prevents bounty hunters and PKers from doing stuff in safety.

17:04 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, they also are planning on changing a system that has caused controversy since it's introduction. And the changes are causing controversy now.
17:05 <Ali> oh no you're changing my game *rage*
17:05 <Cepheid> They want to do away with this system wherein a player-owned structure, if it's destroyed, it's contents will be "packed up and shipped to the nearest station." The system, as it is, makes it take a lot of time and costs money.
17:05 <Cepheid> The devs want to remove it to increase the risk of owning player-owned stations.
17:05 <Cepheid> They are also changing taxation and such in the NPC systems, to force spreading of the market out to the player-owned stations.
17:06 <Cepheid> By increasing the amount of money the NPC factions take per sale and purchase, or refinement and such, they're hoping to drive the economy out into the more dangerous systems.
17:06 <Cepheid> And again, there's the spawned fleets of super-powered ships going around destroying anything player-owned.
17:06 <Cepheid> That was the most disruptive change, in fact.
17:07 <Ali> Seems a little counterproductive
17:07 <Cepheid> Apparently, when it started, a lot of player factions were off warring with one another, or about to start an attack.
17:07 <Ali> HEY lets make space more dangerous
17:07 <Cepheid> It's a temporary measure.
17:07 <Ali> *spawn mega fleet* Time to clean up the galaxy
17:07 <Cepheid> Oh, it's not a mega fleet. I'm overexaggerating the strength.
17:08 <Cepheid> It can be destroyed, but the problem is, it spawns in systems where player-owned stations are, especially less-defended ones.
17:08 <Cepheid> It disrupted the world considerably because player factions were either warring, fighting with one another, or off doing things expecting their stuff to be fine.
17:08 <Cepheid> Then bam, warnings of their structures being attacked.
17:08 <Cepheid> They all have to suddenly cancel their plans and rush back.
17:08 <Ali> Fun times
17:09 <Cepheid> Apparentloy the reaction was mixed, not surprisingly. Some felt it was a cheap move by the deves to interfere with the world.
17:09 <Cepheid> Others thought it was awesome.
17:09 <Cepheid> 'Cause after a while, once you get all built up, it gets boring. Your usual move after that is to start attacking other players to get some fun going.
17:09 <Cepheid> But having something be a legitimate threat for once was nice for them.

17:10 * Ali nod nods
17:10 <Cepheid> Basically, the devs announced that there'll be mor stuff like this, whether the players like it or not.
17:10 <Ali> I hate it when a game can get stale like that
17:10 <Cepheid> The game apparently evolved towards a stale "order" over it's long lifespan.
17:10 <Cepheid> The developers want to fix that.
17:10 <Cepheid> So they're changing systems around, using in-game lore to explain it.
17:11 <Cepheid> The biggest one affecting all players being the whole "Can't see other players in the same system as you, through the chat log."
17:11 <Ali> Part of me kinda wants to play an MMO again, but the cost and lack of players to play with is a put off.
17:12 <Cepheid> I'm trying to play an MMO again, but it's not going wlel for me. It's less the lack of players and more I've got a conflicting personality.
17:12 <Ali> Understandable
17:12 <Cepheid> Unless I intentionally sedate myself with half a seroquel, my mind wants to spend as much time being productive as possible.
17:12 <Cepheid> Even when I'm sick as a near-death dog.
17:12 <Cepheid> I spent most of my waking hours yesterday working on code, rather than gaming or laying down.
17:13 <Cepheid> Basically, I don't create time to play games.

19:32 <Cepheid> Cats... why?
19:32 <Cepheid> Why do you both have to counter what the other cat does?
19:34 <Ali> Cause cats
19:34 <Cepheid> One cat gets all over me, gets comfy.
19:34 <Cepheid> The other cat has to come do the same.
19:34 <Cepheid> Which results in the first cat coming back.
19:35 <Cepheid> Repeat ad-infinitum. I think this is also the cats just... getting back to being near me after the dog scenario.
19:35 <Ali> https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198007206389/screenshot/795368273649238767 So Cepheid do you think this is bug overkill or pretty standard?
19:37 <Cepheid> Ali, you know what I do with pollution clouds, why are you even asking? :P
19:37 <Ali> I'm not asking about the stink cloud! :P
19:37 <Cepheid> Oh, the bugs themselves.
19:37 <Cepheid> They don't seem too bad, actually.
19:38 <Ali> Yeah, isn't that a large number of them that close to the starting area?
19:38 <Cepheid> Hum, I guess Factorio 0.17.64 wasn't their stable after all.
19:38 <Ali> I mean 15 bug bases is really rough to take care of with AP ammo
19:38 <Cepheid> Actually, Ali, that's pretty standard density for bugs.
19:38 <Ali> I see
19:38 <Ali> I guess this is more of a personal problem for me
19:39 <Cepheid> Honestly the starting area slider needs a larger range.
19:39 <Ali> Cause I feel like the green ammo is junk and AP starts to get bad really fast if they get to medium
19:39 <Ali> I have to use rockets to take care of the bases, and without the first explosive upgrade for rockets, it takes 3 per base
19:39 <Ali> And Explosives 3 is the first rocket boost
19:41 <Ali> I feel safer when I have a line of turrets to protect me from the stupid waves of bugs >.<
19:41 <Starlight_Glimmer> Too bad that doesn't work in real life ;)
19:42 <Ali> Also I started making a blueprint book for rails
19:42 * Ali sprays Starlight_Glimmer with bug spray, she must be a changling!
19:43 <Starlight_Glimmer> Since you revealed your Steam profile: Do you mind if I add you?

19:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm annoyed by the microtransaction fueled online economy in V
19:50 <Ali> GASP a microtrasaction laden game and its MMO
19:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> But we're like 30 people, so there's always fun somewhere
19:50 * Ali nods
19:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah welcome to gaming in 2019
19:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> It'll only get worse from here :(
19:50 <Ali> I haven't been in a big group of people since raiding WoW back in like 2005
19:51 <Ali> All that went downhill when I dislocated my shoulder and lost my raid spot.
19:51 <Ali> Never really got it back, even though they said they'd have me back once I recovered
19:52 <Ali> It sounds weird but playing an MMO puts a lot of stress on your shoulder, and when those muscles are weak it tends to stiffen up really badly
19:52 <Ali> Which makes it feel like its gonna pop out of joint again
19:52 <Ali> And trust me, having a shoulder out of joint hurts like heck
19:52 * Starlight_Glimmer sits on front of a computer for a living, can relate.
19:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> I don't play much anymore. To be honest I think there is a lack of good games. It's a cliche to say things used to be better, but I actually think they were
19:54 <Ali> Its sadly true
19:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> The only game I'm currently excited about is Cyberpunk 2077
19:54 <Ali> I can replay NES games far more than I can modern ones
19:54 <Ali> Hell I played Megaman 2 last night
19:54 <Ali> Hint it's not the best :P
19:55 <Ali> Megaman 2 is great, but it has some massive flaws going for it as well.
19:55 <Starlight_Glimmer> Not much into Witcher for example, but while not my kind of game I can see it's a good series and Cyberpunk is right up my ally
19:55 <Ali> I'm not much of a fan of MMO/FPS games anymore
19:56 <Ali> Though the first is mainly due to having nobody to play with
19:57 <Starlight_Glimmer> I don't know. I used to play Silkroad Online until I figured out it's way better to make money with the game instead of actually playing it
19:57 <Starlight_Glimmer> MMOs just consume so much time.
19:57 <Ali> That they do, but sadly its what I have in abundance

20:45 <Ali> Sometimes you have to fight that off
20:46 <Ali> Go relax, do something other than coding right now.
20:47 <Cepheid> A better idea would be to do my "treatment" for that problem. Take half a sedative.

21:09 <Cepheid> ...
21:10 <Cepheid> Huh, Etrian Odyssey 3 had a much more... spoilerish name in Japanese.
21:10 <Cepheid> "Yggdrasil Labyrinth III: Visitor at the Sea of Stars"
21:10 <Cepheid> Or "Labyrinth of the World Tree III: ..."
21:10 <Cepheid> I prefer the latter form. Yggdrasil is a good name, yeah. But "Labyrinth of the World Tree" sounds more... dramatic.
21:10 <Cepheid> Somehow.
21:24 <ADragonDreaming> Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
21:25 <Cepheid> What about it?
21:25 <ADragonDreaming> I'm watching jack play it and it just makes me want to.
21:29 <Cepheid> I own the game, myself.
21:29 <Cepheid> So technically we could do it over Discord.
21:29 <ADragonDreaming> Indeed.
21:29 <ADragonDreaming> I also own the game.
21:29 <Cepheid> We'd have to change it around a bit, though. Discord would have to be set to always-record.
21:29 <Cepheid> I don't trust the "pick up voice" setup.
21:30 <ADragonDreaming> Mine's already on that I think
21:30 <Cepheid> Then the input sensitivity would just have to be reduced to minimum.
21:30 <Cepheid> So that it's always broadcasting.
21:33 <ADragonDreaming> aye. given your illness, if we play today, I should probably be the manual monkey.
21:34 <Cepheid> It won't be today, I can tell you that much. I'm about to go take a shower, and then lay down for the rest of the day. I don't feel up to sitting in front of my PC.
21:34 <ADragonDreaming> makes sense
21:35 <Cepheid> I'd rather make sure I get rid of this, than have to see my doctor a second time to get another round of antibiotics.

22:19 <Cepheid> Right then, where was I...? Oh, right, going to deal with the danged torrents.
22:21 <Cepheid> The squad has become a murdersquad for floors 5 through 7.
22:22 <Cepheid> Even Dreamer, who somehow boasts the highest attack power and defense power at the same time.
22:27 <Cepheid> Riiight, not taking that route in the storyline. *Reload*
22:35 <Cepheid> ...
22:36 <Cepheid> So no matter which choice you make, the end result is saddening
22:36 <Cepheid> All that changes is who survives.
22:42 *** Quits: ryaxnb21 (ryaxnb@Pony-hj0ath.ca.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
22:42 <Schism> Oh, so it's an immediate result, which timeline you pick?
22:46 <Cepheid> There are apparently two choices you can make in the game.
22:46 <Cepheid> One which determines the outcome of who survives a given encounter, and one in which determines the direction the end-game goes in.
22:47 <Cepheid> This actually complicates the overall EO3 storyline.
22:47 <Cepheid> As there's now at least 4 possible timelines.
22:47 <Cepheid> Which, again, given the nature, may as well all be canon.
22:48 <Cepheid> As stated, there's no way to get the true ending and a full understanding of the story without doing at least one NG+ and choosing the other path at the critical story junction.
22:49 <Cepheid> Gimme a moment. Need to deal with my PITA.
22:50 <Cepheid> There we go.
22:51 <Cepheid> Anyways, there's two key items that you can get in the game. You get them when you kill the final boss of a given story branch.
22:51 <Cepheid> They are *BOTH* required in order to get access to one area in the game, which is a part of the true end-game.
22:52 <Cepheid> And not the final stratum.
22:52 <Cepheid> There's a door that requires having both key items on hand in the fourth stratum, it leads to a story-related boss.

23:53 <Cepheid> Of course.
23:53 <Cepheid> There's no way I'm gonna kill these danged things in time. I'm just gonna have to do this the long, grueling way.
23:53 <Schism> Well, it is just /resist/. At least they might wake up faster?
23:53 <Cepheid> Far as I can tell, these things only have two attacks. A party-wide sleep attack, and a physical attack.
