15:54 <Cepheid> 12 turns in, she's at 60%, and the main squad is peachy keen despite all the damage she dishes out.
15:54 <Cepheid> We got this.
15:57 <PsychicKid> Let's see.... It's 11 AM and I've been up for... 3.5 hours
15:57 <PsychicKid> I've accomplished two dungeon runs, which took an hour. The rest has been doing nothing in particular. Rip
15:59 <Cepheid> Oh gods I pulled it off. I formaldehyded the Wicked Queen despite her using a small HP bar, and making it hard to determine when to use the Formaldehyde.

16:01 <Cepheid> That got me... a high-rank knife.
16:02 <Cepheid> Not the best, but it's still one of the best.
16:02 <Cepheid> Which isn't saying much as it's a dagger/knife.\
16:03 <Cepheid> Still, I suppose it's of value, since any class can use it.
16:10 <Cepheid> Missing.. Four items from the stratum. All of them a pain.
16:12 <Cepheid> Ideal girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband for me: Someone who understand the reason for why I desire quietness, and someone who can also kick my ass, so that they can knock me back into reality extremely hard, for whenever I lose my temper for no apparent visible or explainable reason.
16:13 <Cepheid> Let's see, drops I need are... Deep Maiden Rare(Kill while arms bound), Big Snakehead Rare(Must kill itself with curse damage), and two uncommon drops.
16:14 <Cepheid> How is Miss Lumindia doing in level..? Is she able to learn the relevant skills for all that?
16:15 <Cepheid> Huh, Wildlings can't do curse.
16:15 <PsychicKid> oh
16:15 <PsychicKid> i went to work on my story but my editor is already in the document making changes lol
16:16 <Cepheid> Pray tell, have you been working on your story hard for the last few days?
16:16 * Cepheid looks for class that deals curse. It's apparently, of all classes, the Monk.
16:17 * Cepheid picks PsychicKid, shortened to "Psychic" for the Monk. If that's alright. He's playing EO3, and uses folks names from around here for character names.
16:17 <Cepheid> Actually your full name fits. Okay then.
16:18 <Cepheid> ... Or not. One letter short.
16:19 <PsychicKid> No I haven't touched it much this week aside from a little bit on Tuesday and about 1500 words on Sunday

16:19 <Cepheid> But I have an excuse
16:19 <PsychicKid> I don't like working while my editor is working cuz it gets confusing lol
16:19 <PsychicKid> So I might just read
16:20 <Cepheid> Don't blame you. I'd say let them do their job, then discuss, and make revisions yourself.
16:20 <PsychicKid> Yeah
16:20 <Cepheid> Then let them review, discuss, etc.
16:20 <PsychicKid> I'd be adding new material but with two people in the document at once, even if working on separate sections, it gets dumb fast
16:21 <Cepheid> Yep.
16:21 <Cepheid> Collaborative writing is the trickiest of collaborative things to do, I find.
16:21 <PsychicKid> Well, guess I'll read then. I took the day off so I might as well be productive
16:22 <Cepheid> Just a heads-up, I'm making you a robot monk.
16:23 <PsychicKid> Nice
16:23 <PsychicKid> I play FF14 myself

16:44 <Ali> It ran away

16:44 <Cepheid> These things have all of but three moves.
16:45 <Cepheid> Attack, Run, or Self-Destruct. Depends on the breed.
16:45 <Cepheid> They're all worth immense amounts of EXP. More than the boss of the relevant stratum, in fact
16:45 <Lunanightwinddesktop> hey

16:46 <Ali> Which was garbage up until Gen 5 where they broke it
16:46 <Cepheid> Pasarans are also highly resistant to damage of all forms.
16:46 <Cepheid> Arguably, it's possible to ensure they don't run.
16:46 <LunaNightwind> Durrr i had 2 clients open
16:46 <Cepheid> Just bind the legs. Bind the legs, they don't run.
16:47 <Ali> So a wild one can survive a KO move and then blow up in return
16:47 <Cepheid> Oh for g-
16:48 <Ali> yeeeeeessss~ *shot*
16:48 <Cepheid> To get Darkness Fist, I not only need level 10 Fist Mastery, I need Waking Chakra 3, to unlock Breakfire Fist, of which I need level 3 to get Darkness Fist.
16:49 <Cepheid> Fortunately, Psychic can survive being hit by FOEs thanks to his WILDLY OVERPOWERED GEAR!
16:49 <Cepheid> Once you hit stratum 4 and 5, it's possible to buy your level 1 characters overpowered gear and send them off on their own.
16:49 <Ali> Until they inflict IDS on him
16:50 <Cepheid> Hilariously, the game's fair when it comes to instant death.
16:50 <Cepheid> You can deck your character in instant-death resisting gear.
16:51 <Cepheid> The series is, ultimately, a fair one.
16:51 <Cepheid> It seems unfair from the outside, because the odds are almost always against you.
16:52 <Cepheid> But eventually, you reach a point of equilibrium. Where you are evenly-matched to your opponents, and indeed..
16:52 <Cepheid> Sometimes even overpowered, compared to them.
16:52 <Cepheid> By the end of Etrian Odyssey 5, I was able to walk over all the superbosses, except the final one.
16:52 <Cepheid> And even *THEN*...
16:52 <Cepheid> The second time I killed it, I did it on my first try.
16:53 <Cepheid> And yes, while I was doing that run on "Basic" mode, it actually had no impact on enemy strength.
16:53 <Cepheid> The enemies hit just as hard. The only thing Basic mode changed was ease of getting around, and continues.
16:53 <Cepheid> If you died to a boss, you could continue off right before it.
16:54 <Cepheid> If you walked around, you'd be notified of hidden items in a 3x3 square around you rather than having to be ON the square, facing the target.
16:55 <Cepheid> Speaking of the series as a whole, for some reason, the first stratum theme of Etrian Odyssey 3, is the most memorable, for me.

16:59 * Cepheid puts the three Vigor Books into storage, for whenever he gets around to remaking ADragonDreaming into an Yggdroid/Hoplite.
17:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: 3D Pony Art Gallery #72 [ http://tinyurl.com/y57axaaf ]
17:01 <Cepheid> Most likely characters to land the final blow against the Abyssal God: Ali, or Dreamer.
17:01 <Cepheid> Dreamer, because it'd be hilarious to have the most armored, defensive character land the final blow. Ali, because she's dealing the most damage of the entire party.
17:03 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's right. The true final boss of EO3 is freakin' Cthulhu.
17:03 <Cepheid> Not in name, presumably because of trademark concerns.
17:03 <Ali> Only 150 hours into the game!
17:03 <Cepheid> Least the game lasts.
17:03 <Cepheid> And yeah, that's a pretty good estimate. Off by about 50 hours though.
17:04 <Ali> So 200?
17:04 <Cepheid> I 100% Etrian Odyssey V in 99 hours.
17:04 <Cepheid> Part of the reason for the lengthy runtime of the games actually is due to a combination of factors.
17:05 <Cepheid> The difficulty of fighting, resource management and the like. It's quite easy to run out of resources quickly, especially in the last stratum of the game. The difficulty between the penultimate stratum and the final stratum is... significant.
17:05 <Cepheid> Even for a max-level team.
17:05 <Cepheid> The other half of it is the mapping.
17:06 <Cepheid> The game does not have an automapper, per se.
17:06 <Cepheid> It has it as much as "I'll light up these tiles for you." and that is if you want that function, you can turn it off.

17:08 <LunaNightwind> dumb computer
17:08 <Cepheid> In English, the "FOE" stands for..
17:08 <Ali> Freakingly Overpowered Enemy *shot*
17:08 <Cepheid> "Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens" Or "Field On Enemy" in Japanese.
17:08 <Cepheid> Ali's approach works better, though.

17:09 <Schism> Even in the translations: F! O! E!
17:09 <Cepheid> They're usually weaker than the bosses of each stratum, but in relation to the normal enemies, they are in fact overpowered.
17:09 <Schism> Unlike the bosses, they also roam freely and like to attack when you're in a bad spot.

17:10 <Ali> Almost dead? SURPRISE FOE FIGHT
17:11 <ADragonDreaming> FOE Obstreperously Existing
17:11 <Cepheid> Basically, FOEs were Atlus' way of screwing with the players.
17:11 <Cepheid> Besides screwing them over with bad events that you can find.
17:13 <Cepheid> "You walk underneath a tree with large leaves. One of the leaves collapses under the weight of the liquid it was holding and spills over the party. The liquid smells so bad it causes you physical damage. To get rid of it, your squad should UNEQUIP EVERYTHING THEY ARE WEARING." *Take a move* "The smell is so bad it causes the party damage. Again, you should UNEQUIP EVERYTHING YOU ARE WEARING." *Take another step* *Repeat*
17:14 <Cepheid> And the damage is significant too, and there's no indication it will happen.
17:14 <Cepheid> It's quite possibly the worst thing I've ever seen Atlus do ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF A GAME.
17:14 *** Joins: LunaNightwind (rvd42@Pony-d11tsl.o55u.j4eu.0191.2601.IP)
17:15 <Cepheid> By the way Luna, I don't mind all the quits/joins. They aren't constant and in a row, like some people are known to do.
17:15 <Ali> That and the server will bonk you for it for awhile if you join/quit too much
17:15 <Cepheid> Yeah, there is that, so keep that in mind.
17:16 <Cepheid> Schism, the above event? Happens in the first mini-dungeon of Etrian Odyssey Nexus. You don't even get a chance to back out. That's how cruel Nexus is in comparison to the more recent entries, where they made things a bit easier.
17:16 <Cepheid> It seems for the Last Hurrah, Atlus decided to go back to it's behaviour from Etrian Odyssey 1.
17:17 <Ali> You died to a smell so bad
17:17 <Cepheid> It doesn't outright kill you, but yeah. It weakens you considerably.
17:17 <Cepheid> It doesn't just cause HP damage, either.
17:17 <Cepheid> It also drains your TP, your MP.
17:18 <Ali> Wut
17:18 <Cepheid> So you'll end up eventually at 1 HP and 1 MP, and no way to escape except walking out, since this happens *BEFORE* the town starts selling the escape item, Ariadne Thread.
17:18 <Ali> Note to self, avoid trees
17:19 <Cepheid> There's only one spot it occurs.
17:19 <Cepheid> If you know about it, it'll help.
17:19 <Cepheid> But like I said, it gives you no chance to back out. It just happens.
17:19 <Cepheid> It's an introduction to "Events that'll just happen out of the blue."
17:20 <Ali> More like events that make you want to rage quit
17:20 <Cepheid> The closest the series has ever employed is forcing you into battle with a boss when you enter the boss room. But in every game, they usually provide a warning that there's something deadly behind the door.
17:20 <Cepheid> The hilarious thing though is that if you think this is bad?
17:20 <Cepheid> Don't go playing the Wizardry series.
17:21 <Cepheid> This series of games, and indeed, many dungeon crawlers out there these days, are based on Wizardry, but with much more fair difficulty.
17:22 <Cepheid> Wizardry, meanwhile, is unfair as all hell, based on what I've read.
17:22 <Cepheid> From what I've read about it, in the first game, you could have key items stolen from you, making the game unwinnable. In the 4th game, you have an invisible entity chasing you from the start of the game, that if it reaches you, it's game over.
17:23 <LibrarianofHope> old school was harsh
17:23 <Cepheid> Worse yet was the fact that in 4, you played as the antagonist of the first game, who didn't work with parties. He summoned groups of monsters to fight for him.
17:23 <LibrarianofHope> i heard of the unwinnable scenario , its normally called zombie gaming
17:23 <Cepheid> And since he didn't work with parties, he didn't command the monsters.
17:24 <Cepheid> That is, the monsters that he summons in the 4th game? You can't control them.
17:24 <Cepheid> They fight for you, but they do so via AI.
17:24 <LibrarianofHope> this is old school stuff right?
17:24 <Cepheid> Very old-school.
17:24 <Cepheid> NES era, and early PC-era.
17:25 <LibrarianofHope> you have to remember everything was a test then
17:25 <LibrarianofHope> the medium was new, no one wa sure of anything
17:25 <Cepheid> Except the devs kept pulling those tricks from the start of the series. I think they still do.
17:25 <Cepheid> As there are modern entries in the series. I haven't played them, but they sure know how to make a multiplatform, portable engine.
17:26 <Cepheid> The modern Wizardry engine is used in a number of games.
17:26 <LibrarianofHope> aparrently they stooped at 8
17:27 <Ali> Good old NES hard
17:27 <Ali> Though the thing I don't get
17:27 <LibrarianofHope> i remember i had fun playing anyway, even if i never really got very far
17:27 <Ali> Is the song I can't beat Airman
17:27 <Ali> But to me, Air Man is a pushover
17:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
17:27 <Cepheid> Yeah, he is.
17:27 <Cepheid> But, to some people..
17:28 <LibrarianofHope> megaman is hard
17:28 <Cepheid> In any case, Nintendo hard, or "utterly unfair" is fine with me.
17:28 <Cepheid> There are those of us who seek it.
17:28 <LibrarianofHope> so long as you can actually win
17:28 <Cepheid> I dunno why, but this series attracts me, and I cannot explain why, despite the utter frustrating difficulty that should, by all rights, be triggering my temper.
17:28 <Cepheid> I think it's because at this point, I know the game can be "won," so I don't take loss hard.
17:28 <LibrarianofHope> its a challenge
17:29 <Cepheid> It's merely a challenge, something to overcome. It's fun to overcome.
17:29 <Ali> Cepheid, on Difficult, the US version of the Jap Megaman 2, I can get hit by all his projectiles, and STILL kill him
17:29 <LibrarianofHope> yep, happens to me too
17:29 <LibrarianofHope> it helps me that im very patient
17:30 <LibrarianofHope> and very stubborn
17:30 <Cepheid> Personally, I think unconsciously, the series teaches me something.
17:30 <Ali> I was crazy for something else

17:30 <Cepheid> "No matter how difficult something is, you can overcome it. It just requires patience, thinking, training and practice."
17:31 <Ali> I used to do 100% race length and sit there and play multiple races in a day >.>
17:31 <LibrarianofHope> hinest curiosity, what did you saw of fun in nascar
17:31 <LibrarianofHope> i heard all kinds of dumb jikes about nascar, always wanted the real reason
17:31 <Ali> First off I grew up around racing
17:32 <Cepheid> Most people, as I understand it, watch it for the drama and crashes. At least, my dad does.
17:32 <Ali> Live close to one of the most famous tracks in the world
17:32 <Cepheid> Daytona?
17:32 <Ali> Nope, more famous
17:32 <Cepheid> Not familiar then. I don't like racing, myself, unless it's F1 or something with twitch reflexes.
17:32 <Ali> In Nascar Daytona is king, but for overall its a different track
17:32 <Cepheid> Personally, the faster, the better.
17:33 <Ali> Racing has been going on here for 103 years
17:33 <Cepheid> What track is it, then?
17:33 <LibrarianofHope> it started by bootleggers no?
17:33 <Ali> IMS, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indy 500
17:33 <Cepheid> Oh, right, right.
17:33 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm familiar with that track to a degree.
17:34 <Cepheid> There's also a well-known one up here in Canada, if I recall. Primarily because it's in Canada.
17:34 <Ali> So yeah, racing here is kinda normal
17:34 <Schism> Okay. I have a helicopter, I have an endorhinoceros. Now to catch my third fish, the taco-taro.
17:34 <Ali> Just got into Nascar when they came to town in '84
17:34 <Cepheid> It's normal everywhere, to be honest. In different forms.
17:34 <Ali> Err 94
17:35 <Ali> Though it helps if you have a driver to follow
17:35 <Cepheid> Heh.
17:35 <Ali> Mine retired and Nascar has gone to shit since then
17:35 <Cepheid> But yeah, you got Formula 1 racing, bike racing(Bicycle and motorbike), you got street racing, you got drag racing..
17:35 <LibrarianofHope> ohhh
17:35 <Cepheid> Racing in general seems to be a common thing among the public that practically everyone can get along to.
17:35 <Cepheid> Sorta.
17:35 <LibrarianofHope> then the crash watching is not that big of thing?
17:35 <Cepheid> Oh, it is.
17:35 <Ali> Unless you have rival drivers
17:36 <Ali> LibrarianofHope, you've heard of Daytona and Talladega right?
17:36 <Ali> Those trackes are well known for what's called the BIG ONE
17:36 <Ali> Which can take an average of 15 cars out in one wreck
17:37 <Cepheid> All I'll say about racing is that, given the alternative of shows my parents like to watch, I'll watch racing.
17:38 <Ali> Racing has kinda gotten ruined due to Commercialism
17:38 <Ali> Due to them wanting to show more ads than the race itself
17:38 <Cepheid> It's still better than the alternative.
17:39 <Cepheid> Though the channel that my parents watch racing on could stand to have more variety in their commercials.
17:39 <Cepheid> It's the same set of commercials EVERY commercial period.
17:39 <Cepheid> Including, the exact same "Are you faster than a redneck" advertisement that's been in use SINCE IT FIRST APPEARED.
17:39 <Cepheid> The family likes to recite the commercials by heart, in a mocking voice, as a result.
17:39 <LibrarianofHope> wonder if mexico has rednecks
17:39 <Cepheid> Every country has, by the definition of a redneck, rednecks.
17:40 <Cepheid> Even Canada.
17:40 <LibrarianofHope> we have a general slur arrogant people call everyone they think below them
17:40 <LibrarianofHope> naco
17:40 <Cepheid> "Hoser"
17:40 <Cepheid> You rarely hear it these days though.
17:41 <Cepheid> Instead, we tend to apply American terms.
17:41 <LibrarianofHope> its so open use i cannot properly translated
17:41 <LibrarianofHope> i only ever used it once, on a guy that drove me very mad
17:42 <Cepheid> You'll generally hear applications of the word "ass" in it's various forms, unrelated to the animal.
17:43 <LibrarianofHope> i could tell you some good spanish swearing, but i dont wanna ali to crash the banmobile on me

17:47 <Cepheid> That one I just used is a common phrase in Japanese anime, for when someone's pissed off, heh.
17:47 <LibrarianofHope> i remember a racing dumb moment i had once
17:47 <LibrarianofHope> there was a race in the tv while i was in a restaurant, i half paid attention until someone crashed
17:47 <Cepheid> I prefer 「くたばれ」 though. It's more in line with what I'm likely to say.
17:48 <LibrarianofHope> for some reason they zommed on a tire just kinda swosshing in place, it made me laugh
17:48 <LibrarianofHope> looked silly to me
17:48 <Cepheid> ((First one is "s**t". The latter can be translated in many ways, some of them particularly vulgar. The form I prefer though is "Go to hell."))
17:48 <Cepheid> Because it's not swearing, and it's basically saying "Get away from me."
17:49 <LibrarianofHope> i just said "No you"
17:50 <Cepheid> THough to be honest, I probably shouldn't tell folks to go to hell. By definition of certain rules in various groups, I'll end up in hell. I don't want ***holes showing up in hell to harass me. I'd rather make it a nice place where Canadians can get along with Satan and drink 24s every weekend.

17:54 * Cepheid takes his newest guild mate on a typical hazing ritual: Fighting a stratum boss at far-below level.
17:56 * Cepheid pisses off Moby Dick and kills the Great White Whale of Stratum 2.
17:57 <Schism> This game has a particularly nasty mechanic while fishing. ._.
17:58 <Cepheid> Oh.
17:58 <Cepheid> Update on Tizzy and her hyperthyroidism.
17:58 <Cepheid> We can reduce the medicine dosage. She's down to her natural levels of thyroid.
17:58 <PsychicKid> Time for lunch
17:59 <Cepheid> She's supposed to have a thyroid level of 12.24, she's currently 12.12

18:00 <Cepheid> Ah, Gatekeeper's alive. What's the conditional drop for this..?
18:00 * Ali gives Tizzy scritches
18:00 <Cepheid> I believe it was a case of "Kill one part first."
18:01 <Cepheid> Ah, yes. There's 3 drops.
18:01 <Cepheid> Well, 3 regular drops, 3 conditionals.
18:01 <Cepheid> And the conditionals are...
18:01 <Cepheid> ...
18:01 <Cepheid> Well ****.
18:01 <Cepheid> I need binding.
18:02 <Cepheid> And which bind depends on state.
18:02 <Cepheid> If it's in split form, the head needs Head Binding, the body needs Leg Binding. When combined, Arm Binding.
18:02 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, it resists all of these.

18:14 <Ali> Also talking about nascar
18:14 <Ali> A plane crashed yesterday and it had Dale Jr on it
18:14 <Ali> Everyone is fine though
18:17 <Cepheid> Good to hear.
18:17 <Cepheid> Bosses and enemies resist, yeah, but they aren't super-high. Instant Death doesn't really work well, but then, that may have been because I was trying to use instant death on a level ~30 boss enemy with a level 15 character.
18:18 <Ali> Anyway with that
18:18 <Ali> Dale Jr was the most popular driver when he was in the series
18:18 <Ali> Though mostly due to him having his father's name
18:19 <Cepheid> That I'm familiar with, yeah.
18:19 <Cepheid> Though I'm sure even if the name wasn't the same, it'd still be an interesting case.
18:19 <Cepheid> Just being associated closely with his father would be enough for a person to be showered in attention.
18:20 <Ali> Well Cepheid his father died during a race
18:20 <Cepheid> Yes, I know.
18:20 <Ali> Looked like the most innocent wreck ever
18:20 <Cepheid> While I don't like racing, I do know of details due to my parents.
18:20 <Ali> Heh
18:21 <Cepheid> Yeah, as I understand it, it was a innocent enough looking impact, but his neck snapped due to G-forces involved.
18:21 <Cepheid> And because his head was not held in place.
18:21 <Ali> And the seat belt failed as well
18:23 <Ali> But that is what started the HANS device and all the safety inovations in racing
18:27 <Ali> So Cepheid in Factorio I feel more confident in a few things but I feel a bit weaker about having the drop off area
18:27 * Schism looks at FFXIV, then throws his computer out the window.
18:27 <Cepheid> That takes practice, even I'm not good with a drop-off area.
18:27 <Ali> DDos'd again Schism
18:27 <Cepheid> Schism: WHat's up?
18:27 <Cepheid> No, likely he lost out on a rare item by a roll difference of 1.
18:27 <Schism> So fishing has this mechanic. If you fish in one spot for a lengthy period of time, the fish will run from your presence. This is a standard anti-botting mechanism. Make sense?
18:28 <Cepheid> Right, and it's preventing you from fishing anywhere.
18:28 <Schism> Oh, not at all.
18:28 <Schism> Now, there's one fish which appears in the South Shroud only when it's thundering or thunderstorming. That's perfectly fine. The windows are large. The fish is RARE, however.
18:28 <Cepheid> And you got locked out just as a storm started.
18:28 <Schism> Nah.
18:29 <Schism> Furthermore, the ACTUAL fish I need to catch is caught from "Fisher's Intuition", which appears AFTER that earlier rare fish is caught.
18:29 * Ali confuzzles
18:29 <Schism> So, the chain goes: go to area when it is thunderstorming, catch one fish, switch bait, catch second fish.
18:29 * Cepheid calls the Monty Python crew. "GET ON WITH IT!"
18:29 <Schism> Thunderstorm was ALMOST over when the first fish FINALLY caught on my line.
18:30 <Cepheid> And you get locked out.
18:30 <Schism> And then, "The fish have become wary. Go elsewhere."
18:30 <Schism> Yup.
18:30 <Schism> So that's 40 minutes of my life I'm not getting back.
18:30 <Cepheid> Welcome to RNG hell.
18:30 <Ali> Sounds about right
18:30 <Ali> Item you want, never drops
18:31 <Ali> Item you can't use, drops like it was a common drop
18:31 <Schism> Yup.
18:31 <Schism> Though items I can't use are few and far between.
18:31 <Cepheid> Annoying, there's one change in the later EO games that I want, that does not exist in EO3.
18:31 <Ali> I had like 5 poison staffs drop while trying to get spider fangs for early hardmode
18:31 <Ali> The staff has a 3% chance of drop in normal mode
18:31 <LibrarianofHope> umm
18:31 * Ali comes away with 5 of them
18:32 <Cepheid> If you kill an enemy with a conditional drop with the condition met, it doesn't guarantee the item drops.
18:32 <Cepheid> In the later games, the drop was guaranteed.
18:32 <LibrarianofHope> im happy of my random nteworking luck, imma get a mechanicus thingie
18:32 <LibrarianofHope> and a snack
18:32 <Schism> At least EON has that, Cepheid. I think.
18:32 <Cepheid> Like I said, later games.
18:32 <Cepheid> So yeah, it does.
18:33 <Cepheid> Only way to guarantee the drops is to use a Formaldehyde. Or have it be a boss.
18:33 <Cepheid> The drop is guaranteed if it's a boss and you get the condition.
18:34 * Reiko shut the door
18:34 <Cepheid> By the way, chronological order, Schism: EO5, EO1, EO2, EO3(?), EO4, EO Nexus.
18:35 <Schism> Makes sense.
18:35 <Cepheid> Only way to place 5 is to see the true ending.
18:35 <Cepheid> Mind if I spoil it?
18:38 <LibrarianofHope> it was the butler
18:38 <Cepheid> Dreamer is now deadly.
18:39 <Cepheid> I subclassed him as Ninja, and picked up the skill that turns normal attacks into potentially instant-death attacks.
18:42 * Cepheid registers 4 new characters for low-level harvesting. Needs names.
18:42 <Cepheid> Otherwise I'm gonna go with John, Bob, George, Jane, and Jenny.
18:44 <Cepheid> Or remove one of them, George. Since I need 4 only.
18:46 <Cepheid> Let's see.. With Librarian being the squad leader for harvesting, and having +5 to all harvest types, that means I need, for a full 60 of each type.. I need...
18:46 <LibrarianofHope> does rashaou sounds like a good name?
18:47 <LibrarianofHope> you feel it rools off the proverbial tongue?
18:48 <Schism> Cepheid: ... Why not name them John, Paul, George, and Ringo?
18:48 <LibrarianofHope> might as well
18:48 <Cepheid> Get everyone to max out Harvestry, that'll leave me with 25. Another 35 needed in each, so that's 8.75 levels across the four for each, rounded up, being 9 levels of each harvest type. For a minimum level oooooffff...
18:49 <Cepheid> 32.
18:49 <Cepheid> Too late, in the naming department.
18:49 <Cepheid> Anyhow, their levels will have to wait. I need to go sailing the High Seas.
18:50 <Cepheid> Need to find that cannon.
18:50 <Cepheid> Only way to move onwards.
18:51 <Cepheid> There we are.
18:51 <Cepheid> It was where the Ghost Ship is fought. Just go back and look, there's the cannon. Game even tells you hints about this.
19:00 <Cepheid> They need someone to bust a giant statue on the land of the giants, why do I get the feeling that this boss is...

19:01 <Cepheid> Hello, Golem.
19:06 <Cepheid> Hmm. I'll have to keep that armor in mind. Adama Armor, +++ Resist Instant Death.
19:06 <Cepheid> Fer now though, I need a shower.
19:21 <Cepheid> Guuuugh. I am definitely still sick.
19:21 <Cepheid> During that shower, my chest started feeling sharp knife pain again.
19:21 <Cepheid> The type of pain that drove me ot the clinic last week.
19:24 <Cepheid> More sailing the high seas. Can now get through seaweed, so I got a few more accessible areas now.
19:30 * Schism continues a quest given by a Deathword.
19:32 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I hit the North Sea, myself.
19:32 <Cepheid> Which provides access to even greater challenges, more my level.
19:34 <Cepheid> I'm sorry, but the Dark Forest? Looks more like another Yggdrasil Tree. It's a giant, dark forest, with a massive, tall tree.

19:37 * Schism flies over to Glast He--oh, wait, no, just Azys Lla. Much saner.
19:38 <Cepheid> I casted Ressurect 14 times that battle.
19:41 <Schism> Sounds like when I went up against the SS-rank, except I was doing a goodly bit of dying too.
19:41 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:41 <Cepheid> Basically, Golem has a counter skill for magic.
19:41 <Cepheid> You hit with magic, it counters for approximately the same amount of damage.
19:42 <Cepheid> Golem's weak to all elements.
19:42 <Cepheid> So you'll regularly hit for 500+ damage.
19:42 <Cepheid> Your mage has 250 HP at around level 50 or so.

20:40 <Cepheid> First FOE is strong, but not strong enough. All it has going for it is a multi-target, multi-hit attack, and Amputate, which... Amputates the head.
20:43 <Cepheid> Equip a few Death Magatama, make sure Guard skill is up on full party.

20:47 <LunaNightwind> Good mood time! how is everyone
20:52 <Cepheid> Oh gods. Dreamer got sliced and diced!
20:52 <Cepheid> Because he drew all the attacks, he got hit for five slicing attacks. He survived, but he's in pieces!
20:54 <Cepheid> Well we won. I had Schism put Dreamer back together, all nice and new.
20:54 <Cepheid> Also, I'm doing good LunaNightwind. Hungry, thirsty.
20:54 <ADragonHoarding> Eat something and drink water
20:54 <Cepheid> I'm doing that.
20:54 <ADragonHoarding> Take it from me, the recently almost dead guy.
20:55 <LunaNightwind> my mother in law to be just transfered money to us to pay for our honeymoon hotels
20:55 <Cepheid> Huzzah!
20:55 <LunaNightwind> total savings 2104.63
20:56 <LunaNightwind> 3 nights in the ramada in albany new york and 7 days at Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC
20:56 <Cepheid> Just don't come to Quebec on your honeymoon.
20:56 <Cepheid> At least, don't go to the hotel we did for my sister's wedding. They ****ed us over.
20:56 <LunaNightwind> naw going to new york gonna do all the touristy things and my future husband bought us tickets to see WWE at Madison Square Garden
20:57 <LunaNightwind> 3 nights in albany so i can actually meet my inlaws
20:57 <Cepheid> In the case of my sister's hotel for her wedding, they charged us another $200 on top of the normal fees. Because they had to speak English to us.
20:57 <LunaNightwind> going to the MET going to the Statue of Liberty spending time in time square, gonna try to go see good morning america live
20:58 <LunaNightwind> going to Nintendo Store in NYC
20:58 <Cepheid> Heh, nice.
20:58 <LunaNightwind> my fiance decided we are gonna spend 300 dollars to buy my mother something from Tiffanys
20:59 <LunaNightwind> cuz i dont wear much in the way of jewelry
20:59 <LunaNightwind> then when we get back we are adopting a puppy
21:00 <LunaNightwind> right now in total my honeymoon fund has 6000 dolllars in it and 3801 dollars planned to be spent

21:00 <LunaNightwind> which is gonna be me him and mom to Disney

21:01 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:02 <LunaNightwind> soooooooo scared about the wedding right now, like everything is ready for it clothing is bought cake is ordered food is paid for i am just worried
21:03 <Cepheid> Two questions. Second one depends on answer to first one. One, is the wedding outside?
21:04 <LunaNightwind> it is outside BUT can easily be moved inside
21:04 <ADragonHoarding> Breathe in, breathe out
21:04 <Cepheid> I was gonna say.
21:04 <Cepheid> Make sure you have a dedicated location set aside to move it inside if needed.
21:04 <LunaNightwind> like its planned for on the patio at my house but like if we need to move it into the house there is room for the ~40 people who will show up
21:04 <Cepheid> My sister's friend had a wedding that had to be moved inside due to a powerful waterspout-related rainstorm. They had a site set aside for it.
21:05 <LunaNightwind> yeah I got that all planned out LOL
21:05 <LunaNightwind> have no problem with officant since a family member is going to be officiating
21:05 <Cepheid> Yeah, my sister's wedding was funky regarding that.
21:05 <LunaNightwind> photos we are just asking people to take photos and post them online
21:05 <ADragonHoarding> So, when my sister had her wedding, there were a couple of things that went wrong. The house the bridal party was staying at experienced piping issues with the basement flooding. My mom wound up getting significantly delayed by construction while getting bouquets. Things were frantic but they worked out ... and now they make good stories.
21:06 <Cepheid> One of her friends got authorized to officiate, explicitly for my sister's wedding.
21:06 <LunaNightwind> dont have to worry about bouquets we decided we didnt need flowers
21:06 <Cepheid> Mmhmm, the biggest stories for my sister's wedding were the after-wedding hotel costs. We skewered them for the bull****.
21:06 <Cepheid> Aaaaannnd...
21:06 <Cepheid> My dad's encounter with my NEW CAT.
21:07 <LunaNightwind> like the biggest problem is like the fact that there is 8 years between me and my partner im 32 hes 24
21:07 <LunaNightwind> and thats not even a problem LOL
21:07 <Cepheid> He was making signs for the tables at the wedding location. So here he is working with strong superglue, and he's doing it in the living room on the ottoman. I tell my dad "Be careful, the cat might jump up..."
21:07 <Cepheid> He's all "Nah, it'll be fine."
21:07 <LunaNightwind> i think im at the point where im looking for problems because i dont know what to do if there isnt a problem
21:07 <Cepheid> Not thirty seconds later, cat jumps up, walks into the superglue, and immediately runs off.
21:07 <LunaNightwind> lol
21:08 <LunaNightwind> like ive made sure everything is so well planned out that i need something to go wrong so i can fix it
21:08 <Cepheid> We had to catch him, grab a cloth with a superglue-removing agent, and wipe his paws down, then clean off the remaining agent with soap and water.
21:08 <Cepheid> I was absolutely livid for the next three days.
21:08 <Cepheid> To this day, he still does superglue/epoxy stuff out in the open where my cat can, and will, walk into it.
21:11 <Cepheid> Mmm. Right, stratum 5 has two gimmicks.
21:12 <Cepheid> One, there are rooms where your position just straight up isn't shown on the map. This is often combined with FOEs, who likewise don't show up.
21:12 <Cepheid> Two, edge-wrapping.
21:14 <LunaNightwind> Im worried people are gonna get mad at me at my wedding cuz im not wearing white
21:15 <Cepheid> While it is the tradition, my personal opinion?
21:15 <Cepheid> If anyone gives you trouble, they can leave.
21:16 <LunaNightwind> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DCQR5M2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 thats my dress
21:17 <Cepheid> Very nice. I like the color.
21:17 <LunaNightwind> yeah i went with purple cuz i thought it looked nice, my fiance is wearing trans pride colors our cake is trans pride colors but i went purple
21:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> LunaNightwind: Congratulations
21:18 <LunaNightwind> thank you
21:18 <Cepheid> My parents think it's a very nice dress. They're also with me on my stance regarding white. Unless you're like, catholic, or getting married in a catholic church, the view is that you're allowed to wear whatever you want. Even if it was at a church, my parents still say you'd be fine to wear whatever.
21:19 <Cepheid> It's your wedding. Wear what you want.
21:19 <LunaNightwind> im agnostic fiance is pagan lol
21:19 <LunaNightwind> im getting sick of him buying haunted dolls LOL
21:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> Could be worse
21:19 <Cepheid> Haunted dolls? What kind of pagan, then?
21:20 <LunaNightwind> i cant remember if hes pagan or wiccan or what i know he has pagan beliefs but im not 100% how he classifies himself
21:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> Like imagine they were obsessed with colorful cartoon horses
21:20 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
21:20 <Cepheid> I don't think it's wicca, though. That religion generally deals more in crystals, tarot and the like, not creepy haunted dolls. :P
21:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> In any case: I think with a wedding on your hoof the color of your dress is like the least of your problems
21:22 <Cepheid> In any case, even more, it's your choice to dress how you want then. You're not bound by religious requirements.
21:22 <LunaNightwind> like my BIGGEST concern right now is the fact that my brother and father are both coming, Brother doesnt accept my transition and dad is a trump supporter so that should speak volumes
21:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> lol
21:23 <Cepheid> If you're concerned any people are going to have a problem with it, you may want to talk to those people specifically ahead of time and explain that you aren't going for a traditional wedding, and that it's their choice if they wish to still go or not, after the fact.
21:23 <LunaNightwind> both me and my partner are Trans and like i think my father is gonna be the only trump supporter thats coming
21:23 <Cepheid> Oh geeze.
21:23 <Cepheid> Yeah, that... might cause trouble.
21:23 <LunaNightwind> ive explained its not a traditional wedding in invitations and everything elser
21:23 <Cepheid> Still, that they're showing up despite knowing this, speaks volumes of them still.
21:23 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm glad I abandoned a lot of ties with familiy members and they're not Trump supporters nor disagree with my life choices
21:23 <Starlight_Glimmer> My mother is a convicted criminal though :)
21:23 <Cepheid> Oof.
21:24 <Cepheid> My family's just a straight up mess.
21:24 <LunaNightwind> like i gotta give it to dad, he TRIES to deal with me, he has made an effort to refer to me as Luna, although the whole He/She thing trips him up
21:24 <LunaNightwind> hes not good about the Luna thing but he TRIES...Sometimes
21:25 <Cepheid> Grandfather on mother's side is an a-hole, nazi-supporter, and threatened to kill the family. Aunt on her side is a drug addict. Rest of us are just really, really temperamental. My dad's side, we've lost ties with his biological mother's family for the most part, as things sorta went apart after his mother died. Step-family on his side, we don't want any association with them by choice.
21:25 <Starlight_Glimmer> LunaNightwind: To be honest: I'm neither gay nor trans and I'm pretty accepting with these kind of things, but it is kinda difficult sometimes
21:25 <Starlight_Glimmer> Like I use a female alias here and people use he/she randomly all the time
21:26 <LunaNightwind> and ya know i can accept that its difficult and its not like dad goes out of the way to call me my dead name so i dont really push him on it, I dont expect people who have known me 30+ years to just be like OK you are luna now over night
21:26 <Cepheid> I generally assume my own gender first, unless people have provided me with information ahead of time.
21:26 <Starlight_Glimmer> Don't let it bother you. In my eyes it's more of a formality than anything else
21:26 <LunaNightwind> heck mom still has trouble with it and she is the most accepting person in my life
21:26 <LunaNightwind> but 9/16 im planning on legally changing my name
21:27 <LunaNightwind> the day after we get home from the honeymoon so on that day I will officially be Luna (last name redacted)
21:28 <Cepheid> I'd normally comment on naming yourself after a character, but for all I know the name "Luna" could just be a typical astrological name, or from another source. :P
21:29 <Starlight_Glimmer> Usually I'm not a fan of that kind of thing either, but ya' know best pony ;)
21:32 <Cepheid> Myself, if I changed my name, I dunno what it'd be to. I'd have to have two name changes, though.
21:32 <Cepheid> I want to get rid of one of my middle names that was forced upon me without my choice, or my parents choice for that matter.
21:32 <LunaNightwind> Luna is actually something ive been using since i came out to myself like 19 years ago
21:32 <LunaNightwind> it was a nickname i used in HS too
21:32 * Cepheid does not like the baptismal name, and does not want it.
21:32 <LunaNightwind> its because I used to be a night owl so I always had a connection to the moon
21:33 <Cepheid> I only got baptised because my dad's step mother demanded it.
21:33 <LunaNightwind> like even now I wont sleep at night unless im medicated
21:33 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:33 <LunaNightwind> if i dont take medication i will stay up all the time
21:33 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm a night owl, myself.
21:33 <Starlight_Glimmer> Cepheid: How about Donald? *runs*
21:33 <Cepheid> I have to take medicine to help keep a stable sleep cycle.
21:33 <LunaNightwind> and when i was in HS i would go out and just sit under the moon
21:33 <Cepheid> Even after months of using it, my sleep cycle won't stay stable.
21:33 <LunaNightwind> so No its not a character thing
21:33 <Cepheid> If I stop taking the medication, my sleep cycle switches around approximately every two weeks.
21:34 <Starlight_Glimmer> I wonder how common that name actually is, Luna I mean
21:34 <Cepheid> So one and a half weeks of being up all night. One and a half weeks of being up all day. I feel more energetic when I'm awake at night.
21:34 <Cepheid> Let's find out.
21:34 <LunaNightwind> Cephid my night medication includes 2 MG of xanax and 300 mg of Hydroxizine
21:34 <Starlight_Glimmer> She was a Harry Potter character too. That must have spiked usage
21:34 <LunaNightwind> ewwwww i hate harry potter
21:35 <LunaNightwind> like i think ive seen each movie once and that was JUST to do something with my fiance
21:35 <Cepheid> 23rd in the US as of 2018, according to one website.
21:35 <Cepheid> Used to be far less common up until a couple years ago.
21:35 * Starlight_Glimmer shuns LunaNightwind
21:35 <Cepheid> It was approximately #890 back in 2003.
21:35 <LunaNightwind> go ahead Starlight_Glimmer Shun the non believer
21:36 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yes. You instantly lost all credibility :D
21:36 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:36 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, my name is Andrew. :P
21:36 <LunaNightwind> eh doesnt bug me i mean i think harry potter just hit a little too late for me like i said im in my 30s
21:36 <Cepheid> I'm not named after the saint. I do have a baptismal name I want to get rid of. My middle name is straightforward, using my dad's name. Last name is..
21:36 <Cepheid> It causes problem.
21:36 <Cepheid> Dionne.
21:37 <Cepheid> How would you, by default, pronounce that?
21:37 <Starlight_Glimmer> Cepheid: Have you considered adopting the middlename Ryan
21:37 <Cepheid> And do you think I'd speak any other language based on it?
21:37 <Starlight_Glimmer> LunaNightwind: I started to get a Harry Potter nerd like really late
21:37 <LunaNightwind> Honestly I was gonna use Luna as my middle name, like its always been a nick name and i knew i wanted it to be part of my name but I was gonna be Chryssie- Then my brother got pissed off that i picked a name that was too close to his so i just swapped my first and 2nd middle name
21:38 <LunaNightwind> i have 4 names
21:38 <LunaNightwind> but I had 4 names from birth
21:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> I didn't particularly like the German translations and watched the movies sure, but didn't read the books or anything
21:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> Then my love for English happened ;)
21:38 <LunaNightwind> my initials went from BJDB to LJCG
21:38 <Cepheid> Ryan as a middle name would be weird.
21:38 <Cepheid> First middle name starts with an R.
21:38 <LunaNightwind> Birth name I am Bradford James Dean (last name redacted)
21:39 <Cepheid> Anyways, the basic issues of my last name: People assume I speak French by default, and upon hearing or reading it, some actually start speaking French to me by default.
21:39 <LunaNightwind> in a few weeks i will be Luna Janet Chryssie (last name redacted)
21:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> My firstname is Kim, Kim-Alexander to be more specific
21:39 <Cepheid> It pisses me off, as I'm... not on good terms with people who speak French as their native language.
21:39 <Cepheid> Secondly, people mispell my last name.
21:40 <Cepheid> Because when my ancestors moved from Quebec to Ontario, they took on the English pronunciation of the name.
21:40 <Cepheid> Which, comes out exactly the same as a certain well-known Canadian musician.
21:40 <LunaNightwind> my last name is french canadian in origin
21:40 <LunaNightwind> my birth last name
21:41 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:41 <Cepheid> In any case, my last name is pronounced "DEE-on"
21:42 <Cepheid> People mispell it as "Dion" frequently. :P
21:42 <LibrarianofHope> my name is bond....no wait wrong one
21:42 <LunaNightwind> its stupid how many people mis pronounce my name
21:42 <LunaNightwind> *last name
21:42 <LibrarianofHope> i have the most coomon mexican name, starts with J, guess
21:42 <Cepheid> As for the French thing, I've gone over it before. If you really want to know, poke me in a PM.

21:44 <LunaNightwind> Ewww i just took the wrist guard off my keyboard and it feels weird
21:45 <Cepheid> Bluh, despite painkillers my head is feeling this really dull pain, it's like something's pressing down on my head.
21:45 <LunaNightwind> where is it located
21:45 <LibrarianofHope> canada
21:45 <LibrarianofHope> badumtss
21:45 <Cepheid> Top of the head, extending down between my eyes along my nose. It's sinuses and probably tension.
21:46 <DashedRainbows> Hey LibrarianofHope
21:46 <LunaNightwind> yeah sounds like you might have a bad sinus infection leading to a migrane
21:46 <Cepheid> Oh, I know I have a sinus infection.
21:46 <Cepheid> I've mentioned this before, but I got a permanent sinus infection. Gets worse when I'm sick, like when I have pneumonia. Like right now.
21:46 <LunaNightwind> awwww that sucks I hope you get better soon
21:47 <LunaNightwind> i thought i was miserable with poison ivy all up my leg
21:47 <LunaNightwind> first time ive ever had poison ivy im miserable
21:47 <Cepheid> I'm on a second round of antibiotics to take out the inner-ear infections, sinus infection(temporarily) and get rid of the pneumonia completely.
21:47 <LunaNightwind> oh that sounds awful
21:48 <LibrarianofHope> why do you get so consistwntly sick Cepheid?
21:49 <LibrarianofHope> has any doctor made sense of that?
21:49 <Cepheid> Nope. But if I had to guess?
21:49 *** Joins: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-13k.tl5.105.130.IP)
21:49 <Cepheid> The fact that I have a constant, chronic, unending sinus infection, probably means my immune system is compromised, in a sense.
21:49 *** Joins: Persona (Tilde@Pony-nmpn5c.dgbc.9fgu.6000.2605.IP)
21:49 <Cepheid> Thus, I am more susceptible to illness than most.
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> can you get test to test this logic
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> ?
21:50 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, why do I suddenly get worse with an illness? Well, split up my immune system between the sinus infection and whatever I get sick with, and that's less effort on the sinus infection, which allows it to spread.
21:50 <Cepheid> Probably a T-cell count.
21:50 <Cepheid> Before and after getting sick.
21:51 <Cepheid> T-cell count would be high prior to getting sick. It'd probably be about the same level or higher after getting sick.
21:51 <LibrarianofHope> have you ever taken an HIV test?
21:51 <Cepheid> Oh, it's not HIV.
21:51 <LibrarianofHope> umm
21:51 <Cepheid> Symptoms of HIV and AIDS are pretty apparent. I show none of them. It's literally just an impaired immune system from the sinus infection.
21:52 <LibrarianofHope> sounds hard
21:52 <Cepheid> Basically, all I can do is just deal with it.
21:52 <Cepheid> I'm gonna bother my ENT to see about trying surgery to clean up the sinuses again, and do a more invasive search for anything, but other than that, there's not a lot I can do.
21:53 <LibrarianofHope> i feel like its the sort of thing that has a name but is so rare its hard to find
21:53 <Cepheid> Chronic rhinitus.
21:55 <LibrarianofHope> ohh
21:56 <LibrarianofHope> i feel slow today
21:56 * Jackie pets Filly_Nightmares
21:57 <LunaNightwind> I woke up earlier today than i have on any day since i graduated high school
21:57 <LunaNightwind> i am miserably sleepy
21:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> That's because you're doing it wrong
21:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> You're supposed to stay awake at night, sleep during the day
21:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> Less annoying people too!
21:59 * Filly_Nightmares noms Jackie!
21:59 <LunaNightwind> woke up at 7:45 this morning i am miserable
21:59 <LunaNightwind> usually i wake up around noon
21:59 * Filly_Nightmares kneads LunaNightwind
21:59 <Starlight_Glimmer> Only benefits and since you're in the U.S. I assume no annoying shop hours either
21:59 <LunaNightwind> cuz my meds USUALLY knock me out for 11 hours

22:02 <Cepheid> Are you kidding me?

22:52 <Jackie> I mean if Steam DF is moddable
22:53 <Cepheid> Should be.
22:53 <Cepheid> It's just the original game with an extra art pack included, last I recall, among a few other details.
22:53 <Jackie> Is the classic one still relevant?
22:54 <Cepheid> Yes.
22:54 <Cepheid> The only benefit of buying the Steam version is the official art style, mostly. You're paying to help with medical bills.
22:56 <Jackie> Well I am playing the classic one
22:56 <Jackie> Not sure if they will still update it

23:14 <Cepheid> Yes, yes, good for you.
23:16 <Cepheid> For the record, your "YAY LINUX BOO WINDOWS AND APPLE!" mentality, and constant reminders that YES, you use Linux, grates on my nerves in the same way as the rest of the Linux community's behaviour does, to a point where I'm almost certain developing a game for Linux is a mistake.
23:17 * Cepheid goes off to take a sedative.
23:19 <Jackie> Well, Linux isn't an irrelevant OS anymore
23:19 <Cepheid> Yes, I bloody KNOW this.
23:19 <Cepheid> Your constant proseletyzing of the damned OS is agitating as all bloody hell.
23:20 <Cepheid> I am sick and tired of people like you who do nothing but proclaim one OS above all others, as if it is the blood ****ing HOLY GRAIL.
23:20 <Cepheid> People like you are the reason computing is a god damned mess.
23:20 * Cepheid sighs, walks away.
23:20 <Jackie> All we want is freedom
23:21 <Cepheid> All I want is for the freedom for people to use whatever OS they want, without judgement.
23:21 <Cepheid> And you can't bloody even grant us that.
23:21 <Cepheid> No, you, like the Apple fanboys and the Microsoft fanboys, have GOT to make everything harder on the rest of us who are TRYING to make computing easier for the rest of the world to understand and grasp.
23:22 <Jackie> I mean, who would say it's bad to use anti-DRM software and WINE
23:22 <Cepheid> Instead, you just constantly gush on and on about your preferred OS, and go "**** YOU!* to every other OS.
23:22 <Cepheid> Instead of being dicks about it, try working together.
23:22 <Cepheid> Maybe then computing, and your favoured OS might become more popular.
23:22 <Cepheid> But no, that requires being nice with your opponents. It's too hard.
23:22 <Cepheid> Gods.
23:22 <Cepheid> I've had enough of it.
23:22 <Cepheid> Linux isn't getting my game until it grows up.
23:23 <Jackie> Anything is good but DRM needs to go
23:23 <Cepheid> This has nothing to do with DRM.
23:23 <Jackie> It messed up using WINE
23:23 <Cepheid> Yeah, well, tough luck.
23:23 <Cepheid> DRM isn't limited to Windows.
23:23 <Cepheid> It can happen on Linux and Apple.
23:23 <Cepheid> It is just, again, that Windows is the primary source of it because it has widespread usage among the general populace.
23:24 <Jackie> I mean I would play an MMO with WINE
23:24 <Jackie> If possible
23:24 <Cepheid> You do realize dual-booting or triple-booting is a thing, right?
23:24 <Cepheid> Yeah, it means you have a Windows OS installed, so what? Just don't use it as the primary OS.
23:24 <Jackie> Yeah but Windows is like $200 :P
23:25 <Jackie> I mean if pirating is another option
23:25 <Cepheid> Pirating is the reason DRM came into play.
23:25 <Cepheid> If you were smart, you'd avoid it.
23:25 <Cepheid> Otherwise, you're contributing to the very problem you're complaining about.
23:26 <Jackie> Pirating is good on some areas like retro games
