00:00 <Cepheid> Some FOE items, and 19,000 EXP. Not bad.
00:02 <Schism> Lessee, retainers have... another five hours on this one.
00:02 * Schism flops into the Gold Saucer.
00:03 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, all I got out of the deal of fighting 3 FOEs at once was a dagger of questionable power.
00:03 <Schism> Hmmm.
00:04 <Cepheid> Oh and the 19k EXP.
00:06 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I need a new character to swap in every now and then. Someone who binds. Should also make a ailment nut.
00:07 <Schism> Next class to level... SCH/SMN. Definitely.
00:08 * Schism takes a moment to collect a card, though.
00:09 * PinkieShy licks Schism
00:10 * Schism plays Triple Triad against PinkieShy. Uses one 5* silver card, and four 3* cards.
00:12 * Cepheid goes off to take more tylenol, and asthma medication.
00:13 <Cepheid> Only reason I'm taking it is doctors orders for this respiratory bug.
00:13 <Cepheid> Otherwise, there's no reason to take it. I actually don't have asthma.
00:13 <Ali> Hopefully you'll get over it soon Cepheid
00:13 <Cepheid> Aye.
00:13 <Cepheid> It'd be nice to get over it before the end of the week, at least.
00:14 <Cepheid> I'm being told that if it gets worse by then, to go back and see the doctor. o3o
00:18 <Schism> Aye. Though... um. It is the end of the week.
00:19 <Cepheid> I mean Friday.
00:19 <Schism> Mmm.
00:20 <Cepheid> Right, got everything mapped out now.
00:20 <Cepheid> I'm missing one conditional drop, and a few FOEs from the first stratum, surprisingly.
00:21 <Cepheid> I need... 4 of these. 1750 * 4 = 7000. Geeze. Well, least harvesting makes it quick now.
00:21 <Cepheid> I also need a recruit.
00:22 <Cepheid> Who wants to be the character who does all the bindings?
00:35 <Cepheid> Hum.
00:35 <Cepheid> The two best classes are Wildling, and Farmer, for binding.
00:36 <Cepheid> Farmers have a skill that tries to apply all 3 binds to a target. Wildlings have beast summons that add a 6th, temporary party member. There's 3 summons they get which respectively do Arm, Head and Leg binding.
00:37 * Cepheid renames Lumindia the farmer, and makes a new character. Lumindia the Wildling, who's focus will be on Call Snake.
00:37 <Lumindia> ... god dammit Ceph. xD
00:37 * Lumindia screes at!
00:38 <Cepheid> That said I made you female, because the female Wildling portraits look better. The male ones have weird, creepy masks which creep me out.
00:39 * Ali flops over Lumindia
00:39 <Cepheid> Lumindia: I pretty much did that intentionally for that reason. :P
00:39 <Lumindia> fair enough
00:39 * Lumindia pats Ali
00:41 <Cepheid> Know, however, that you will not be a permanent character in the party. Your role is situational. Unless I find out Wildlings are awesome to have around.
00:46 * DashedRainbows chews on PinkieShy's hooves
00:47 * PinkieShy eeees at DashedRainbows
00:48 * DashedRainbows barks back
00:48 * Cepheid puts the squad up against a FOE. While Ali casts all the spells that make the enemy fall down, he repeatedly tosses Amritas at her like no tomorrow. ((Amritas restore TP, the costly resource for casting spells.))
00:49 <Cepheid> I kinda imagine myself windmilling both arms, throwing Amritas from a massive pile behind me. o3o
00:50 <Cepheid> See also: Ragnarok Online Potion Consuming.
00:50 <Cepheid> Remember those days, Schism? Downing 100 potions in a minute?
00:51 <Schism> Oh yes.
00:51 <Cepheid> Nowadays, MMOs don't let you do that.
00:51 <Schism> Much I might wish otherwise, I remember it well.
00:51 <Cepheid> Newfangled cooldowns and all that.
00:52 <Cepheid> If I recall correctly, there was a class that had a skill that actually threw a potion at a character and healed them.
00:52 <Schism> Merchant, yeah.
00:52 <Schism> Most games don't usually have an Angeling spawning right on top of you, or a Hunter Fly warping in.
00:53 <Cepheid> No, but it can happen.
00:53 <Cepheid> The maps get larger, so there's less likelihood of it happening in newer MMOs, but it can still happen.
00:53 <Cepheid> You could be sitting there, minding your own business, and suddenly Behemoth spawns atop you.
00:54 <Schism> That did happen to an FCMate the other day, actually. Not helped by the fact that Behemoth spawns on top of a camp in west CCH, so they were trying to get that triple triad card, and suddenly Epic FATE.
00:54 <Cepheid> Heh.
00:54 <Cepheid> That said, I would argue that FF14 is actually better about that than say...
00:55 <Cepheid> Gah, I can't write the name 'cause of capslock stuff. Anyways, the game is RIFT.
00:55 <Cepheid> Basically, it was one of the few games that acted as a precursor to the whole FATE system you see in FF14 and the like.
00:55 <Cepheid> At the time, I believe there was only one other game experimenting with the concept.
00:56 <Cepheid> Long story short, you'd be doing stuff. Suddenly, you hear a lightning crack, and fog roll in, and BAM! Giant eldritch god rift opens up above you, and a bunch of monsters spawn and eat you.
00:56 <Schism> World events have long been a part of things, ever since MUDs, but mm.
00:56 <Cepheid> Oh, World Events, sure.
00:57 <Cepheid> But they were usually reserved for big things.
00:57 <Cepheid> Not smaller stuff that you run into.
00:57 <Cepheid> For whatever reason, that kind of thing became much more commonplace after RIFT and the other game in question.
00:57 <Schism> Aye... hm. I know ESO does that, but we're thinking earlier.
00:57 <Cepheid> Earliest game I can think of is Lord of the Rings Online.
01:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: The New Pony Convention Mega Survey [ http://tinyurl.com/y25khdgg ]
01:00 <Cepheid> I never understood one thing about the EO series.
01:01 <Cepheid> Of all the arbitrary features to implement, why a calendar that has month names, but no visible effect on the game at all?
01:03 <Cepheid> Thar. 14,000en. Enough to gear up the main party, and the new character.
01:09 * Cepheid made a big mistake.
01:09 <Cepheid> I forgot to save after buying all the gear and stuff. And I went and tried to kill a FOE with a 2-man team.
01:10 <Ali> Whoops
01:10 <Cepheid> Emphasis on tried. I didn't succeed, and lost about 4000 worth of En
01:10 <Cepheid> And all the gear I bought. o3o
01:10 <Ali> #minorsetback
01:13 <Cepheid> Let's try that again with NOT attacking a FOE.
01:14 <Cepheid> And saving, too.
01:23 <Cepheid> Right, I think that'll do sufficiently for getting the drop.
01:25 <Schism> Hmmm. Believe I'll go through a few dungeons with my squadron tonight, get a few levels in a DPS class I've been ignoring.
01:26 <Schism> MCH's been completely revamped, and some of the new guns are rather nice.
01:31 <Cepheid> There we go. Last conditional of the stratum.
01:33 <Cepheid> ... And a new armor for two characters, to replace the armor I JUST BOUGHT THEM.
01:33 * Schism decides that SCH/SMN should get to 70 next.
01:33 <Schism> Right, already decided that, heh.
01:34 <Cepheid> Fortunately, I can keep one of the two armors, save myself 1.75k en, and... yeah.
01:38 <Cepheid> Only one last thing to do. Kill a remaining FOE.
01:38 <Cepheid> Hum, Narmer. What's his conditional drop, and what does it unlock..?
01:39 <Cepheid> Wow, okay then
01:39 *** Quits: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP) (Quit: Leaving)
01:39 <Cepheid> It requires that he be killed with one character in the party.
01:40 <Schism> That's... troublesome.
01:40 <Cepheid> I got formaldehydes.
01:40 <Cepheid> A couple of 'em in fact.
01:41 <Cepheid> As for the weapon, it's a high-level club. +186 ATK. Can be used by Gladiators and Monks. Schism's a Monk. That said..
01:41 <Cepheid> 253,000 en.
01:41 <Cepheid> That'd take an hour or two to grind. I'd be better off waiting until Stratum 3 or 4.
01:43 * Schism hmms. Nodnods. "Yah, that's the tradeoff."
01:44 <Schism> Can this maybe plz be Void Ark, roulette?
01:45 <Cepheid> Hum, and that's the last FOE drop acquired.
01:45 <Cepheid> Unlocked a nice-looking book for Zodiacs.
01:49 <Cepheid> Whelp. That's that. Everything's been acquired, sold, etc.
01:49 <Cepheid> Time to go kill the next boss.
01:53 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14U64jWO85s Stratum 2, Boss time!
01:53 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Etrian Odyssey III - Music: Hoist the Sword with Pride in the Heart
01:54 * Cepheid puts ADragonDreaming in front of the team. "Take one for the teeeaaam!"

01:56 <Vulpor> Howdy all
01:56 <Cepheid> Yo
01:56 <Schism> Think I'm getting the hang of this fairy.
01:59 <Cepheid> Well, that was going well until the 50% pinch.
01:59 <Schism> And now, King Behemoth. o3o
02:00 <Cepheid> Basically, we were doing fine. Up until the boss decided to use a powerful party-wide attack which, despite defense rivaling Cepheid's, killed Schism, the healer. We had no resurrection items. o3o
02:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #1885 [ http://tinyurl.com/y27a3hhy ]
02:01 <Schism> Whooops. o5o;;
02:01 <Cepheid> I'll resolve the issue by sending out the harvest squad one more time and collecting a bunch of money for us, then just... pack my inventory with everything possible.
02:02 <Cepheid> I can't see her, but I know Tizzy is in the bedroom with me right now.

02:11 <Cepheid> Right, let's try this again, better prepared.
02:15 <Vulpor> Infinty Train is great
02:21 <Cepheid> ... Of course, Schism has to die just before the last hit happens.
02:21 <Schism> Naturally.
02:21 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-0gbng9.dynamic.sonic.net)
02:21 <Cepheid> Meh. The party's all mixed up in EXP anyways.
02:21 <Schism> Gods, every [yay] time my landlord leaves the apartment door open when he's checking something, half the flies in the apartment hallway are drawn to this one. We never open our screen door, but everyone ELSE does, and so there are now several flies around the apartment.
02:22 <Cepheid> Oof.
02:22 <Schism> It's more of a nuisance than anything else, but yeah.
02:22 <Cepheid> We regularly get flies growing in the summer in our house. There seems to be somewhere they get into, and start growing, we can't figure out where though.
02:24 <Cepheid> Right. Critical juncture. I'm taking the path that gets me Yggdroids.
02:29 <Schism> There. Fly destroyed. +1 exp.
02:29 <Cepheid> Heh.
02:29 <Cepheid> Bah, this isn't the juncture I thought it was. I need to go another 2 floors for it.
02:29 <Cepheid> That said, I have unlocked subclassing.
02:30 * Schism shall take poison, and become the healer of doom.
02:30 <Cepheid> Heh.
02:30 <Cepheid> Let's see, for poisoning..
02:31 <Schism> Hmm. Before I MSQ with SCH today, I should burn some poetics.
02:34 <Schism> I guess the Rakshasa stuff does look pretty good for glams, as does its other result.
02:35 <Cepheid> It seems there's only two sources of poison.
02:36 <Cepheid> Wildling and their Venomfly summon, or Ninjas, with a skill that counters attacks against a row with a poison slash attack.
02:36 <Cepheid> Wildling would be the best choice.
02:37 <Cepheid> Expensive, but the summons act as an extra party member.
02:38 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, for our resident Zodiac... there's no real good choices. Though, being able to use a ranged weapon would boost her physical damage.
02:41 <Schism> Aw, it's Castrum. The Praetorum takes longer, but gives you more time to mess about doing nothing.
02:41 <Schism> Oh well, that's still half an ACN level.
02:41 <Cepheid> Aaaand this stratum is why I was training Nighty "Rain or Shine."
02:43 <Cepheid> Ah, the new battle theme.
02:44 * DashedRainbows sits on Ali, go horsey go?
02:45 * Ali squeaks at DashedRainbows
02:46 <DashedRainbows> My horse got the squeaks o.o
02:46 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, it's incurable.
02:46 * Cepheid pulls out the shotgun. "We gotta put 'er down."
02:46 <Ali> How morbid Cepheid
02:47 <Cepheid> Yes, yes. :P
02:48 <DashedRainbows> That would work...
02:50 <Schism> She wouldn't squeak anymore, anyway.
02:51 <DashedRainbows> The realm shall fall to darkness
02:52 <Cepheid> Bravo, Nighty. You managed to do the impossible. You blinded... AN EGG.
02:53 * Schism hums. "Be nice to finally have another class in ShB content."

03:04 <ADragonDreaming> A friend of mine is disappointed that Dancer is a DPS.
03:05 <Schism> Ranged DPS, no less. But it's not like there were too many options there, and a tank was already a thing.
03:06 <ADragonDreaming> She plays healer, which apparently hasn't gotten a new class for a few expansions.
03:06 <ADragonDreaming> and it was a healer in the last MMO I guess?

03:35 <Jackie> Is there a program that turns bytes to a midi format?
03:36 <Schism> Cepheid: What, with you being chased by ghostly FOEs as you travel along a maze, picking up harvest points? Can't imagine why that would come to mind at all.
03:36 <Cepheid> Not harvest points, but yes, FOEs and a maze-like map.
03:37 <Cepheid> For every two steps I take, they take one move.
03:38 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, for the FOEs, they're Gargoyles. Resistant to all but ice magic. Piddly physical. Party-wide stone attack.
03:40 <Schism> Which floor is that?
03:41 <Cepheid> Floor 1. Secret area.
03:46 <Cepheid> Cureses, trapped myself again, have to escape.

03:57 <Cepheid> Hum, some treasure chests, with a luck book and... a coupon.
03:57 * Cepheid stores the coupon for later.
04:06 * Filly_Nightmares licks Schism
04:09 * DashedRainbows curls up in a corner to sleep. Nini horses
04:12 <Cepheid> Honestly, I probably should have made Schism's subclass Hoplite, so I could have him equip shields.

05:03 * ConfusionRift lightly pats Cepheid.
05:03 <ConfusionRift> At least it's clearing up.
05:04 <Cepheid> Ah yeah. Those kinds of shifts. Where you ignore your body telling you to slow down.
05:05 <ConfusionRift> It's more of having two co-managers and three assistants on my butt all day. Why? Don't know. All I know is they brought people from other stores to help... but I really don't see the difference.

11:30 <Cepheid> PM.
11:42 <Cepheid> I think I'll just stay up. Take a nap when I need to. Sleep cycle is drifting anyway.
11:48 <Cepheid> Minor aches today. Breathing feels better though. Have to wait a bit before I can take the tylenol to deal with the aches.
11:50 <Schism> That's a plus, at least.

11:51 <Cepheid> Aches I think are more from my pillows. They don't seem to work too well with my sofa-bed. Thinking maybe I should splurge and order a high-quality pillow.
11:53 <Cepheid> Should do a bit of bedroom cleaning too I think. Got a small pile of random scraps of paper building up over in the corner, and I got a huge painting I need to move to a new spot.
11:59 <Cepheid> A lot of my purchases over the last couple of weeks have been purely to fixing up my bedroom. Sofa-bed, sheets, wall mount for monitor. Air purifier, etc.

12:01 <Cepheid> Next couple of purchase are gonna be silly, probably. Aside from a new pillow.
12:02 <ConfusionRift> This sucks!!!
12:02 <Cepheid> I want to 3D print a 3-horizontal 120x120mm fan mount with grills on front and back, put some fans in it, daisy-chain them together, and hook 'em up to a power source, probably USB, and create a small desk fan
12:02 <Cepheid> What's up, ConfusionRift?
12:04 <ConfusionRift> ...never mind. I did a dumb.
12:04 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:04 <Cepheid> Hmm.
12:04 <ConfusionRift> I think I have to stop playing. Then again, I should be crashing soon.
12:05 <ConfusionRift> A mod put a structure inside the temple, blocking my way to proceed. Got angry before realizing that I could just cut through the structure and continue.
12:06 <Cepheid> I'd need 12V at 0.24A to run these fans at full capacity. A USB port can potentially provide up to 20V of power at 5A. However, whether a port actually does is up for debate.
12:07 <Cepheid> I'm not an electrician though, would hooking up X fans require X * 12V and X * 0.24A? 12V and X * 0.24A? X * 12V and 0.24A? Or 12V and 0.24A?
12:12 <Cepheid> Am I weird for thanking individuals over the Internet for their prompt response with "Thank you kindly for your quick response"?

12:14 <DashedRainbows> Being nice is never bad
12:14 <Cepheid> This is true.
12:14 <Cepheid> It's just, I think the way I do it is overly formal. On the other hand, any less formal and it feels weird.
12:15 <Cepheid> Hum. I wonder if it's possible to read the EEPRAM of an NDS game cart to make a backup of the save data.
12:16 <Cepheid> Apparently there is a CFW tool that does this, yes.
12:18 <Cepheid> Also, apparently the freezing I saw the other day with the ripped copy I made of EO3 is apparently an anti-piracy measure. For whatever reason, the problem doesn't occur under emulation, but attempts to use nds-bootstrap causes it to freeze.

12:34 <Cepheid> Alas, it's too bad I can't just run the game on the 3DS. Had some ideas for it, if I could.
12:35 <Cepheid> Why are hex editors so hard to find for Linux?
12:37 *** Quits: Fn (Eogan@Pony-5gjes3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Connection closed)
12:40 <Cepheid> Hard to say if the map data would be easy to decode in the save file, though. There's some oddities involving it.
12:41 <Cepheid> First off, each tile supports 3 colors, so there has to be at least 2 bits per tile. And lines can be drawn between the tiles. Exception to this are the tiles along the edges. The edge cannot have lines drawn on it.
12:42 <Cepheid> Assuming each tile keeps track of which edges are "drawn in", that's 4 bits.
12:42 <Cepheid> That's duplicated information along all the tiles though, and back then, memory was a bit of a premium.
12:42 <Cepheid> That said, it's the simplest solution.
12:44 <Cepheid> There's also a set of 4 "automove" icons, and a set of 18 "icons" you can place on the map. All of them can have an associated text string. I am unsure if the game has an upper limit on the number of icons that can be placed. I'd have to literally place an icon on each and every tile, which would take some time.
12:44 <Cepheid> 22 icons would need... 5 bits.
12:46 <Cepheid> 2 + 4 + 5 = 11 bits assuming a compact form. For the text strings, they can be associated via x/y integer pairing.
12:46 <Cepheid> Maps are a maximum of... 5 * 7 by 5 * 6 tiles. 35 by 30.
12:47 <Cepheid> X could be stored 6 bits, Y in 5. 11 bits assuming compact.
12:48 *** Joins: FruitNibbler (Eogan@Pony-rp4s1g.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
12:50 <Cepheid> Strings are 16 characters maximum. I doubt that the Japanese version supports the full set of kanji, if at all. So assume kana only? And 16 bytes?
12:51 <Cepheid> It's obviously not stored in ASCII for the English version, anyway.
12:52 <Cepheid> Otherwise, a simple string search would have sufficed. And it doesn't. Of course, there's the potential for compression being used.
12:52 <Cepheid> Curse my OCD.
12:56 <Cepheid> Hum, the tells for the secret passageways are gone, now. Not seeing them at all in this stratum. No matter. It's a case of looking at the map, and going "There's a secret passage there, I'm sure of it."
12:57 *** Joins: ADragonHoarding (Mibbit@Pony-krk.qod.41.69.IP)
12:59 <Cepheid> ... So I can take this one fruit back, complete the quest, or I can follow some more FOE ants, and collect more fruits. Presumably for greater reward.
13:01 <Cepheid> The ants are no trouble to kill, so I'll just go for it.
13:06 <Cepheid> No extra rewards. Just points to an interesting location that one wants to keep in mind for later. I know what's there, though.
13:08 * Cepheid gets back to decoding for a bit.
13:09 <ADragonHoarding> hm. I have to imagine that the name "Laliberte" is French Quebec
13:09 <Cepheid> As in Guy Laliberte?
13:13 <Cepheid> Oh, right, there's also a visibility flag. That is "seen" or "unseen." All tiles in a cross formation around the player seem to be set to "seen." But that's a single bit, so that only makes the total bit count possible 13.
13:13 <Cepheid> Er, 12.
13:14 <Cepheid> Thing is, the game needs to load this data quickly. So I wonder if it is actually packed or not.
13:15 <Cepheid> And keeping the game's entire map in memory is not viable on such a memory-limited system, so they *HAVE* to load it from the EEPROM.
13:15 <ADragonHoarding> nah, it's just a name that's come up in work.
13:16 <Cepheid> Ah.
13:16 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'd say it's French. If the country code is 1, it's likely in North America, which probably places it in or around Quebec.
13:18 <Cepheid> Hmm. DSi had 16MiB of RAM. Original DS was 4MiB. So game's EEPROM data could be stored entirely in memory.
13:18 <Cepheid> Actually that's likely what happens, given the lengthy save time at start, and when you make large changes to maps.
13:19 <Cepheid> Honestly the best way to do this would be through emulation to create two separate save cases.
13:20 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: BronyCon In a Nutshell [ http://tinyurl.com/y6azsk43 ]
13:20 <Cepheid> First save would have the first floor map entirely empty.
13:20 <Cepheid> Second save would have it filled in entirely with one colour.
13:27 <Cepheid> Hum.
13:27 <Cepheid> There we are.
13:28 <Cepheid> Looks like it uses 8 bits per tile.
13:29 <Cepheid> Fully not expecting it to not load this save file that I modified.
13:29 <Cepheid> ... Huh.
13:30 <Cepheid> That was.... unexpected. The game handled it gracefully.
13:30 <Cepheid> Instead of crashing or erroring out, saying the data was corrupted, it reset the map.
13:31 <Cepheid> Yep. Two bits for color..

13:45 * Schism hmms. "Hydrangeas aren't quite fertilized enough... but I'll leave 'em at the basic colour stage. Four blue, four yellow, with chances of strange colours (like rainbow, black, and white).
13:46 <Cepheid> Hmm..
13:46 <Cepheid> While I figured out the color and wall data for the map..
13:47 <Cepheid> I can't figure out the icons.
13:48 * Cepheid adds another icon.
13:50 <Cepheid> ...
13:50 <Cepheid> Looks like it stores icons as pairs of triplets.
13:50 <Cepheid> ID of the icon, X and Y location.
13:51 <Cepheid> 40 * 4 = ... 120.
13:51 <Cepheid> If I got this right? Maximum of 120 icons per map.
13:53 * Cepheid tests.
13:55 <Cepheid> It just dawned on me that there was a tester who's job was to test this explicitly.
13:55 <Cepheid> Wait, 40 * 4? That's 160.
13:57 <Cepheid> ...
13:57 <Cepheid> Yep.
13:57 <Cepheid> At 160, all the icons become slashes to indicate no more can be placed.
13:58 <Cepheid> With exception to the icon for notes, which can still be attached to icons.
14:00 <Cepheid> That said, it's not a simple case of changing the bytes in the file. Tried that. Game just resets the map in question, which means each individual map has a checksum.
14:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: 50 of the Best Twilight Sparkle Plushies! [ http://tinyurl.com/y6nw6tpw ]
14:00 <Cepheid> Which is... actually kinda impressive.
14:00 <Cepheid> Most games would just choose the fail-to-load route.
14:00 <Cepheid> Instead, EO3 takes the route of "Just clear the bad data."
14:07 <Cepheid> Looks like there's a number of CRCs.
14:07 <Cepheid> And they're time-sensitive.
14:08 <Cepheid> Or they're storing something else.
14:09 <Cepheid> Only byte I see changing consistently between revisions of the save file is byte 18177, which is just prior to the map data.
14:17 <Cepheid> ... It seriously can't be that simple.
14:18 <Cepheid> Oh my gods Atlus seriously?
14:25 <Cepheid> Okay, not quite what I was thinking, but..

15:10 <Cepheid> "Princess Gutrune"
15:10 <ADragonHoarding> does she have a rune on her gut?
15:11 <Cepheid> No.
15:14 <LibrarianofHope> are runes involved?

15:18 <Cepheid> Well that room was a pain to map. Very large.
15:18 <Pony|32309> a map?
15:20 <Cepheid> Playing a game, Etrian Odyssey 3. You have to draw out your maps in the series.
15:21 <Pony|32309> sounds tricky
15:23 <Cepheid> It is, especially when the game throws a hell of a combo of enemies at you and murders you.
15:23 <Pony|32309> ril
15:23 <Pony|32309> rip Cepheid
15:23 <Pony|32309> lol your name turned blue
15:24 <Schism> Various clients show names in different colours. I, and I suggest Cepheid, prefer a slightly more... standardized layout.
15:24 <Schism> I believe Cepheid*
15:26 <Pony|32309> i think i just messaged Cepheid somehow
15:26 <Pony|32309> sorry i really didnt mean to
15:28 <Pony|32309> my name is brown
15:28 <Pony|32309> hey why am i named pony anyway XD
15:30 <Schism> That's a random nick, chosen because you didn't pick one before joining.
15:30 <Schism> You can change it with '/nick [name]'.
15:31 <Pony|32309> it didnt work
15:32 <Cepheid> It probably indicated that it pinged me directly.
15:33 <Pony|32309> sorry didnt mean to
15:35 <ADragonHoarding> depending on the way you're accessing IRC, messages from the system in response to your attempt to change nicks might be displayed in a different tab. What name did you try to swap to?
15:35 <Pony|32309> boredbro14
15:35 <ADragonHoarding> probably not taken
15:35 <Cepheid> There we go, got all my classes registered for university. Finally.
15:35 <ADragonHoarding> try typing the following
15:36 <Pony|32309> so i typed /nick [name]' boredbro
15:36 <ADragonHoarding> nah, you want /nick boredbro 14
15:36 <ADragonHoarding> er, without the space
15:36 <ADragonHoarding> after borebro
15:36 <Pony|32309> oh i forgot the 14 lol
15:36 <Pony|32309> and oh i get it
15:36 <ADragonHoarding> nah, it's that you didn't replace [name] with the name you wanted
15:37 *** Pony|32309 is now known as boredbro14
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> there you go
15:37 <boredbro14> did it work?
15:37 <boredbro14> thats cool!
15:38 <boredbro14> you guys are pretty nice i guess
15:38 <Cepheid> Hum, let's try that battle again..
15:38 <boredbro14> so besides rainbow ponies, what do you usually talk about?
15:39 <boredbro14> omg plz dont ban me for saying this
15:40 <boredbro14> but i texted a friend about this chat and he said i should get out cus your a bunch of pedos..
15:40 <boredbro14> im not sure
15:41 <Cepheid> Yeeeeah no.
15:41 <boredbro14> you dont seem that weird to me tbh
15:41 <Cepheid> That's common misinformation spread about the general MLP community.
15:41 <boredbro14> well besides watching my little pony of all things XD
15:42 <boredbro14> Mlp community? its actually a community?
15:42 <Cepheid> You think that this is the only place where we congregate? There are subreddits, forums, websites dedicated to talking about the series.
15:43 <boredbro14> wait for real? i thought i just found a weird rare inr
15:43 <boredbro14> weird rare internet site
15:43 <Schism> Let us say that there may very well have been a larger MLP fandom than the fandom for Star Trek at one point.
15:43 <boredbro14> my dad likes star trek
15:43 <Schism> Heh. Does he like Next Generation?
15:44 <boredbro14> i guess
15:44 <Schism> There is a character in Star Trek known simply as 'Q'.
15:44 <boredbro14> he even has one of those shirts they wear in the show
15:44 <Cepheid> He voices a character in the MLP: Friendship is Magic series.
15:45 <boredbro14> waait, hes that guy that can do anything with a snap, right?
15:45 <Cepheid> Yes.
15:45 <Schism> Why yes.
15:45 <boredbro14> kinda like thanos lol
15:45 <Schism> Except with less destruction.
15:45 <Cepheid> And his motive is less... specific.
15:45 <Schism> Well. Usually.
15:45 <boredbro14> of course, its my little gosh darn pony!! XD
15:45 <boredbro14> lol, thanos vs that purple pony!
15:47 <boredbro14> idk what im doing with my live anymore..
15:47 <Schism> John deLancie was tapped specifically because his work as 'Q' brought to mind a vengeful god of chaos, intent on revenge and destroying everything that his wardens built in his absence.
15:47 <Schism> That's the kind of villain you get on this show.
15:48 <boredbro14> so q
15:48 <boredbro14> so Q, against a bunch of giggling rainbow horses..?
15:48 <boredbro14> omg
15:48 <boredbro14> but gtg
15:48 <Schism> Heh. They are somewhat better characters than that.
15:49 <boredbro14> laterz, i like u guys

15:51 <Cepheid> Huzzah, package arrived.
15:51 <ADragonHoarding> oh? what'd you order?
15:51 <Cepheid> The only Etrian Odyssey game I don't have. Etrian Odyssey Mystery Dungeon 2. Was never released state-side.
15:59 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, there is an update for the game, but it won't let me update it. o3o
16:05 <ADragonHoarding> can you play despite that?
16:05 <Cepheid> Yeah. CFW disables the region-locking.
16:05 <Cepheid> So I'll just have to deal with the update notice every time I start the game.
16:10 <Cepheid> Oh, EXCELLENT! I got the hammer for forging TEC into weapons.

17:09 <Cepheid> ... Oh, right. My mother reminded me.

17:26 <Cepheid> I have no idea what effect the *OTHER* choice in the game has.
17:28 <Cepheid> Knowing Atlus, in the grand scheme of things, the impossible path is taken, for purposes of Nexus.
17:28 <Cepheid> That is, all variations of EO3's storyline are canon.

17:40 <Schism> Lumindia: Ah, it's always nice to use The Unending Journey to revisit those great moments. "I think she might be mad at me..."
17:42 <Schism> There's... something very wrong with some people. https://twitter.com/Jackalcakes/status/1160930707696508929
17:43 <Cepheid> Where's the plastic wrapper? That's part of it, right?
17:43 <Schism> Y...es. That red bit is the plastic rind.
17:43 <Cepheid> I consider that wax.
17:43 <Schism> Wax rind, right.
17:44 <Cepheid> No, I was talking about the wrapper itself that goes around the wax rind.
17:45 <Schism> Oh, I see. Sorry, am about to sleep because brain no worky, but yeah.
17:46 <Cepheid> Yeah I am kinda wondering why you are still up.
17:46 <Cepheid> You said you'd be heading off shortly about 2-3 hours ago.
17:46 <ADragonHoarding> Because Schism and sleep have a tempestuous relationship.
17:46 <Schism> Gonna say that I'm trying to force my sleep pattern to roll over again.

17:51 <Schism> Um. Well. You've all seen that fish tube video by now, I take it.

18:19 <Cepheid> We regenerate health when we win a battle, and Cepheid is alive. o3o
18:20 <Cepheid> ... And there's a skill to regenerate health for each step taken out of combat. It's passive.

20:26 <ADragonHoarding> looks like play-fighting to me.
20:26 <Cepheid> Play-fighting and trying to look large and intimidating.
