00:00 *** Changeling_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

00:00 * Filly_Nightmares meow

00:01 *** Joins: Persona (Tilde@Pony-8i7g7a.dgbc.9fgu.6000.2605.IP)

00:02 * Schism wurp.

00:02 <Schism> Light farming... is annoying.

00:03 * Filly_Nightmares noms Schism

00:04 <Cepheid> In any case, I have some chores to do, then I need to take a shower.  Think I'll also clean off this desk, of mine, as it's a mess.

00:06 <Cepheid> Should get around to reading these.  Three Mob Psycho 100 manga.

00:06 <Schism> Hmmm.

00:07 <Cepheid> There, all clean.  Just need to move my power bar, which will likely disconnect everything, and attach it to my desk using double-sided foam tape.

00:11 <Schism> One more run of Tam-Tara, and one more of Haukke...

00:14 * Cepheid goes to do bathroom cleanup now, before father goes to bed.

00:18 * PinkieShy hands Schism some strawberries dipped in chocolate

00:19 * Schism retaliates with some dark chocolate mango slices.

00:19 <Schism> Warning: keep away from batponies.

00:22 <Cepheid> Bathroom be clean now.  Hoof.

00:22 <Cepheid> That's enough cleaning.  My chest is getting all tight from just that bit of work alone.

00:23 <Cepheid> ...

00:23 <Cepheid> Okay, while I don't mind it, why is there the sudden move to open-source ISAs?

00:24 <Cepheid> IBM just open-sourced the POWER ISA.

00:24 <Cepheid> That is, it's now legal to create your own POWER-compatible CPU, without any patent issues or royalties required.

00:28 * Cepheid goes to move that power bar up.

00:40 <Cepheid> There we go.

00:42 <Cepheid> https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1096047-googles-ai-wants-us-to-stop-abusing-its-brethren-flags-battlebot-videos-as-animal-abuse/ ...

00:51 <Cepheid> My only complaint of EO3's final stratum is..

00:51 <Cepheid> They didn't use a new battle theme.

00:51 <Cepheid> Every other game, in the final stratum/dungeon, used a new theme.

00:52 <ADragonDreaming> mawr.

00:52 <ADragonDreaming> Do you wish to do the bomb thing?

00:52 <Cepheid> Lemme see if the manual printed, and then sure.

00:55 * Cepheid also does the tutorial right quick. o3o

00:55 <Cepheid> Just need headset now..

00:57 * Filly_Nightmares stretches and murrrrrrs

01:00 <Cepheid> Off-topic...

01:01 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3l6O3Gw1eg That battle in the background?  That's the Progenitor, true ending base story final boss.

01:01 <Cepheid> I mopped the floor with him.

01:01 <Cepheid> Those group-attacks it uses?  I healed at the end of turn from them, because Cepheid's Protect Order is just THAT DAMNED OVERPOWERED.

01:02 * Cepheid disables music in Bomb Game.

01:02 <Cepheid> It'd be too distracting for me, as is.

02:24 <ADragonDreaming> Does the Schism has the bomb game?

02:25 <Schism> The Schism does not have the bomb game.

02:26 <ADragonDreaming> I see. The Schism could still man the manual, or watch the stream when/if that happens.

02:26 <ADragonDreaming> But only if the Schism wants.

02:26 <Cepheid> Funny note.

02:27 <Cepheid> The Bomb Game is made by a developer here in Ottawa.

02:27 <Cepheid> I know where there offices are. :P

02:53 <PinkieShy> what the..

02:53 <PinkieShy> there is a phone number inside a vrchat world..

02:53 <PinkieShy> I called it..

02:53 <PinkieShy> Its just the sports bar world's music from the world playing over the phone..

02:59 <DashedRainbows> Huh

02:59 <PinkieShy> I dunno

03:00 <PinkieShy> It might be for a future event.. :3

03:01 <PinkieShy> Last year it was like the hunt for the cat..

03:01 <PinkieShy> Mr Whiskers they made that completely awesome.

03:10 <Cepheid> Okay yeah, I'm picking me up a new monitor at some point.  Something with actual, legitimate 60Hz.

03:16 <Cepheid> I like how this game immediately defaults to 4k, at maximum settings.

03:16 <Cepheid> Not a bad choice at 1080p, but at 4k?  It kills.

03:23 <DashedRainbows> I almost forgot, tomorrow I have a psych appointment

03:24 <DashedRainbows> Guess I should sleep. Nini horseys

07:45 <ConfusionRift> Aaah, Gundam models. I'm guessing the ones you really have to careful with assembly with.

07:45 <ConfusionRift> ...why did I say "with" twice like that? Meh, might be my nerves still cooling.

07:46 <Golden> For Master grades yes. High Grades less so, and my Haro unit was easy

13:40 <ConfusionRift> ^

13:40 <ADragonHoarding> ah.

13:41 <ConfusionRift> I have been going through this stagnant wait for a decent racing game. The last one I played with Payback, and that was... meeeeeh.

13:43 <ConfusionRift> It ran pretty bad on the regular PS4 as well, which means that Heat is gonna be just as bad or worse.

13:43 * ADragonHoarding plays racing games on PC

13:44 <ADragonHoarding> but not all that often

13:44 <ConfusionRift> Of course. It's more of a time burner sort of game genre for me.

13:46 <ConfusionRift> I mean, I'm sure this new rig can handle any kind of racing game. I'm just kinda used to playing them on console... despite me being able to just hook up any controller in here as well.

17:26 <Schism> Barely a rumble it is.

17:27 * Ali snugs into Schism as she works on her Factorio world, trying to figure out how to move to nuke power without bucking it up.

17:27 <Schism> Practice?  o3o;

17:27 <Schism> I'm sure everyone bucks up their first few nuclear plants.

17:28 <Ali> Well I don't want it to run 100% of the time

17:28 <Ali> By that i mean I don't want the fuel to be inserted into the reactor when there's no need to waste fuel

17:28 <Schism> Of course!

17:29 <Ali> If I could get to personal laser defense I'd feel a bit better

17:29 <Ali> Just the ores aren't too set up in a convenient pattern

17:30 <Ali> So I'm having to probably extra careful, more than what's probably needed

17:32 <Ali> So I either need to find a way to stop the current drain of power with modules, or somehow get a nuke plant up

17:33 <Ali> Or try to rush to the fusion reactor to get personal laser defense going so I can just trollolololol into bug bases

17:35 <Ali> But getting those 200 yellow bottles would be a pain

18:05 * Ali rawr back to SunsetShimmer and boops her for not being around :P

18:06 <SunsetShimmer> xDD I know, I know - I'm an idiot

18:10 <Ali> Did you let your power expire again? :P

18:10 * Schism provides the SunsetShimmer with a cup of strong black tea, spiced and sweetened with good milk.

18:14 <SunsetShimmer> Noooo, I've just been a lazypone xD

18:14 <Ali> bleh, man trying to manual rush to the fusion reactor is going to kill me

18:14 <Ali> needs 67 yellow bottle creations

18:14 <SunsetShimmer> RN just prepping pie, mash and gravy foods

18:14 <Ali> RN?  Is SunsetShimmer sick!

18:14 <SunsetShimmer> Right now, you doof xD

18:15 * Ali headtilts, she's now confused

18:15 <SunsetShimmer> RN means Right now, basically said I was preparing food. :p

18:17 * Ali reads RN as Registered Nurse

18:19 <SunsetShimmer> xD Aaaah, okay

18:20 <Ali> So Schism I have what I think is my best train layout yet for Factorio

18:20 <Ali> But can't use it due to bug bases and power issues

18:20 * Schism looks at SunsetShimmer! "Pie, mash and gravy, you say. Shepherd's Pie? o3o

18:20 <SunsetShimmer> Naaah, chicken piiie

18:24 <Schism> Definitely a nice, clean depot setup!

18:26 <Ali> The center rail can be removed for more space if needed for offloading

18:27 <ADragonHoarding> I am suddenly the sleepy

18:28 <Ali> No you are the hoarding :P

18:32 * Cepheid awakens.

18:34 <Cepheid> Very nice, Ali.

18:34 * Ali yays

18:49 <Schism> Whee.  Makai Healer Set complete, just need the three weapons for that.

18:50 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I got a cat headbutting my laptop.

18:51 <Ali> They want your attention

18:51 <Cepheid> Yep.

19:14 <Cepheid> Tizzy sweetheart, could you please just lay down and get comfy?

19:16 <Cepheid> They have a thunderstorm warning up for Ottawa, but the radar shows nothing approaching or indicating thunderstorms.  Must be of the "Develop out of thin air" kind.

19:17 <Schism> Gonna be annoyingly clear all week now, here.

19:17 <Schism> Got a nice thunderstorm last night, but alas.

19:19 <Cepheid> It's supposed to cool off though, isn't it?

19:19 <Schism> Yeah.

19:21 <Cepheid> So even though it'll be clear, it shouldn't be TOO bad.

19:23 <Cepheid> https://www.instagram.com/p/B1WL1gqFz23/

19:25 * Schism falls victim to the 50% fail rate again.

19:25 <Cepheid> https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ZyQ5qlCz0/

19:28 <Cepheid> At 50% probability, you'd need 6 runs to achieve a 96% chance of getting at least one success.

19:29 <Ali> Sounds about right

19:30 <Ali> slowly working towards my fusion reactor

19:30 <Ali> Then I'll just stand over those bugs and kill them

19:30 <Ali> Then I can finally truely expand the rest of the base out.

19:31 <Ali> Though thru my stingyness, I somehow still have the starting resource piles still in existance.

19:40 <Cepheid> I got a clown to the left of me(Spitfire,) and a joker to the right(Tizzy.)

20:16 *** Quits: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-8nk9qc.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Connection closed)

20:18 <Cepheid> Oh gods, finally I reached that shortcut.

20:19 <Cepheid> Two FOEs in this central area... damn.

20:22 <Cepheid> Maps with pitfalls basically become two-dimensional maps that you have to map out.  o3o;

20:25 <Cepheid> https://kotaku.com/report-contractors-have-listened-to-inadvertently-reco-1837452205 So, like, when are we gonna be learning to not put microphones into every friggen device we make?

20:28 <Cepheid> We're supposed to be getting storms today, and so far, nothing.  Doesn't much bother me, but after last night's dreams..

20:28 <Cepheid> My dreams involved being in various places, dealing with tornados of various strengths.

20:28 <Ali> Cepheid, see what I mean about predictions being wrong

20:29 * Ali nuzzles into Cepheid

20:29 <Cepheid> Weather is not an exact science.

20:29 <Ali> I know

20:29 <Cepheid> And with climate change, the models are constantly changing.

20:29 * Ali will aruge with that, but will just cause rage

20:30 <Cepheid> Anyhow, my dreams?  First set of tornados occurred at a mall I've never seen before.  They had an entire underground bunker-type area to handle tornado scenarios, though.  That said, they weren't well-maintained and cleaned.  They were wet and disgusting for some reason.  Had a nice view outside though.

20:30 <Cepheid> I beat someone up over the disgusting nature of the area.

20:31 <Cepheid> After that, it moved closer to home.  I'm alone with the cats, parents are out of town.  Small tornado touches down, not strong enough to remove houses, but enough to damage windows and the like.  One hits our place, and the noise was incredible.  Me and the cats escape to the safest spot in the house.

20:31 <Cepheid> I'm not one for premonitions, but man.

20:33 <Cepheid> ...

20:33 <Cepheid> Well game, that's mildly suspicious.

20:33 <Cepheid> Two eyes facing one another.

20:33 <Cepheid> Within a 3x3 area.

20:33 <Cepheid> There's a boss here, I'm betting.

20:34 <Cepheid> Even more suspicious, I see a blank region on the map with no way to access it.

20:35 * Cepheid puts indicator tiles on the map above to search that area.

20:37 <Cepheid> And a much larger region which probably contains the down stairs.

20:37 <Cepheid> I really need to rest some characters.  Nighty no longer needs Rain or Shine.

20:38 <Cepheid> Damage tiles do so little damage that Monarch March heals a majority of it, and after a few damage tiles, stepping on a non-damage tile heals up whatever miniscule amount was left unhealed.

20:39 <Cepheid> Maybe give Nighty them elemental shots from Arbalist.  Make her a secondary elemental damage dealer.

20:39 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, Schism can back off on healing and focus more on ailments.  Cepheid is still leveling up and can focus on some monk skills.  Dreamer...

20:41 <Cepheid> I wouldn't mind him having a physical attack skill.  The best one for him would be Long Stride, since it works best from the back row.  Combine this with his high defense, and provoke, and he'll take even *LESS* physical damage.

20:41 <Cepheid> Making him nigh-unstoppable except for elemental strikes.

20:42 <Cepheid> Plus I can reclaim the points from Vigilance.  Useful as it is for mapping new floors, it's about to lose it's usefulness altogether, as I'm almost at the bottom.

20:44 <Cepheid> Oh gods.

20:44 <Cepheid> The last no-radar area is bad.

20:44 <Cepheid> It's a large, open room, with pitfalls.

20:49 <Cepheid> If I ever decide to do the original Etrian Odyssey, I am, by far, emulating it.

20:49 <Cepheid> So I can run the game at 2 or 3 times the speed.

20:49 <Cepheid> It's too bad EO3 has some weird Anti-Piracy in it.

20:49 <Cepheid> Although last I checked it works fine with emulation, few graphical glitches on my laptop, but yeah.

20:50 <Cepheid> Also performance issue because of Linux.

20:50 <Cepheid> For some reason the emulator does *NOT* like Linux.

20:51 <Cepheid> Aaand that little secret area?  Not entirely worth it.  Sorta.

20:51 <Cepheid> Vigor book.  Increases VIT by 1 permanently.  Also, that's a thing I should do.

20:51 <Cepheid> All the red FOEs in the game have a chance of dropping a book of a different stat.

20:52 <Cepheid> And they increase the stats permanently, up to a maximum of 99(?  Might be 100).

20:52 <Cepheid> For Ali, this would be absolutely, 100% critical, outside of unlocking the level limits.

20:52 <Cepheid> As her spells are entirely based on TEC, and nothing else.  Weapon has absolutely no impact on magic damage.

20:55 <Cepheid> Currently, with the best TEC-boosting gear I can find, her TEC maxes out at 89.  10(11?) points short of max.

20:55 <Cepheid> After she maxes out, that's it.

20:55 <Cepheid> She can't get any stronger.

20:55 <Schism> FFS, ANOTHER dungeon you want me to do?

20:55 <Schism> Fine, Stone Vigil Hard, I'll finish that off.

20:55 <Cepheid> Isn't there always one?

20:56 <ADragonHoarding> There's always a dungeon.

20:56 <Cepheid> Hum.  The Intelligence Book drops from...

20:56 <Cepheid> ....

20:56 <ADragonHoarding> an illithid?

20:56 <Cepheid> Nah.

20:56 <Cepheid> Divine Judge.  Resistant to pretty much friggen EVERYTHING, lots of HP.

20:56 <ADragonHoarding> Hit it with Megidolaon.

20:57 <Cepheid> Elemental damage of all types does at most 200, physical, about 100-150.

20:57 <Cepheid> It has 6890, can regenerate it's health, and hits hard.

20:57 <Cepheid> It's conditional drop is also a nightmare, you have to completely bind the thing and then kill it.

20:57 <Cepheid> Whatever it gives, is probably strong enough to last even into the sixth stratum.

20:58 <Cepheid> Well, I've killed a bunch of them already, so spoiling them's moot.

20:58 <Cepheid> No weaknesses.  Resistant to elemental damage.  Thus the best way to kill it is with physical attacks.  And currently?  Everyone just has their regular attack, no special physical attacks.

20:59 <Cepheid> This is why I need to either retire or rest characters.  We've managed on pure regular normal attacks so far, but it's only gonna get us so far.

20:59 <Cepheid> *three days later*  Well, I killed the Abyssal God with normal attacks and elemental magic.

21:00 <Cepheid> This team is almost as bad as the one I used in EO4.

21:00 <Cepheid> In that game, I didn't even use a healer.

21:00 <Cepheid> I had a character that did all the healing through end-of-turn stuff, similar to what Cepheid does in EO3.

21:00 <ADragonHoarding> define "bad"

21:00 <Cepheid> Incomprehensible team.

21:00 <Cepheid> There's specific layouts that are generally expected.

21:01 <Cepheid> Like having a protector-type character who uses Line or Party Guard.

21:01 <Cepheid> And having a dedicated healer.

21:01 <Cepheid> Line/Party Guard reduces damage considerably, making hits much more survivable.

21:01 <Cepheid> A healer is, well, pretty obvious.

21:01 <Cepheid> In EO4, I went through the game using pure damage output, just to see if I could.

21:02 <ADragonHoarding> aha

21:02 <ADragonHoarding> so this team, what's screwed up from the normal expectation?

21:02 *** Joins: Surreal_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)

21:02 <Cepheid> So the team consisted of, in MMO terms, three DPS, one tank, and...  the last one doesn't really have an MMO term for it.

21:02 <Cepheid> More or less.

21:02 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

21:02 <Ali> Support?

21:02 <Cepheid> Support works, yeah.

21:03 <Cepheid> In EO3, the current team consists of a tank, a healer, two supports and a DPS.

21:03 <Cepheid> And they're being used in ways unexpected.

21:03 <Cepheid> Well, except the tank anyways.

21:03 <Cepheid> Normally I'd use line guard/party guard, but provoke and bunkering seems to work quite well.

21:04 <Cepheid> Never seen a character survive taking the entirety of multi-hit attacks from a dragon without getting killed.

21:04 <Cepheid> Also never seen a character have 999 HP.

21:04 <ADragonHoarding> I am always extraordinary.

21:05 <Cepheid> No kidding.

21:05 <Cepheid> I think for Nexus, I'll make you the team tank.

21:05 <Ali> Ugh, why does everything need blue circuits X.x

21:05 <Cepheid> For some reason, associating your name with the tank here made him awesome.

21:06 <Cepheid> Ali will be made into a mageling again, as she does a good job.  o3o

21:06 <ADragonHoarding> Ali: because complexity!

21:06 <Ali> I'm strained for power, I'm strained for not pissing off bugs

21:06 <Cepheid> Cepheid will be the Sovereign, 'cause it exists in Nexus, and has the same skills(though locked away between arbitrary boundaries, in some cases.)

21:07 <Ali> So I'm trying to grind out some personal lasers to help deal with the bug bases

21:07 <Cepheid> Schism, no idea.  He's good as a healer, but if Cepheid gets access to the relevant skills, Schism's usefulness *KINDA* drops a tad.

21:07 <Ali> I'm only at 69/200 blues for a fusion reactor

21:07 <Cepheid> Most of the time he's usually either just casting Line Heal or Ressurect.  More often Ressurect.

21:07 <ADragonHoarding> Have him makes the peoples fall down.

21:07 <Ali> And I need 20 blues for a laser defense

21:07 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

21:07 <Cepheid> Well, he's always wanting to the be the team debuffer.

21:07 <Cepheid> So I can do that.

21:08 <Cepheid> Poison, though people will argue otherwise, stays relevant to the end of the games.

21:08 <Cepheid> It never grows in strength from stats, and it's not percentage-based, so you're guaranteed steady turn damage.

21:08 <PinkieShy> hihi

21:08 <Cepheid> And resistance only reduces whether or not it sticks.  It doesn't affect the damage.

21:09 <ADragonHoarding> I am bored at work now.

21:09 <Cepheid> At maximum level, poison tends to do around 500-600 damage a turn.  Many characters are lucky if they can hit that with physical skills.  Mages outpower that by a longshot if they hit elemental weaknesses.

21:11 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, status ailments in EO3 are tricky.

21:11 <Cepheid> They gave them all to the Wildling class, which uses monster summons to afflict status ailments.

21:11 * DashedRainbows licks PinkieShy till he's dripping

21:11 <PinkieShy> what the.. why is firefox extremely slow letting me type in gmail today.. takes a second for a letter to show up..

21:12 <Cepheid> The downside is switching between status ailments is like, 2 turns.  The upside is that, so long as the summon remains alive, it will continue to try and afflict the enemy with the status ailment.

21:12 <Ali> Well just found my GC version of Tales of Symphonia

21:15 <Cepheid> I do not like these rooms on floor 22.

21:15 <Cepheid> These are the central rooms you saw, Ali

21:15 <Ali> Yep, six pits per room

21:15 <Cepheid> Which means I'm missing one in this room.

21:16 <Cepheid> But that's fine.

21:16 <Cepheid> Because I found the paths to the doors.

21:16 <Cepheid> ... How cute.

21:16 <Cepheid> That door leads straight to a pitfall tile.

21:17 <ADragonHoarding> these next 43 minutes of life are going to take forever.

21:17 <Cepheid> At least the rooms have a shortcut to them, so if you fall and find yourself in a bad spot, you can escape and return quickly.

21:18 <Cepheid> https://etrian.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Etrian_Odyssey_Nexus_Classes All the classes in Nexus.  Take a look at the Nexus skill trees(Listed under EON on a tab, usually on each page), and pick out your desired class and subclass.

21:18 <Cepheid> Or, if you'd prefer, since it's more immediate..

21:19 <ADragonHoarding> what's the tank?

21:19 <Cepheid> https://etrian.fandom.com/wiki/Classes_(EO2U) Pick your class here, since I intend to do EO2 next.  And I'm doing the Untold remake.

21:19 <Cepheid> Let's see..

21:19 <Ali> Cepheid, have you ever understood the armor stats in Factorio?

21:19 <Ali> The first number seems to be irrelivent

21:19 <Cepheid> Ironically I cannot tell you, ADragonHoarding.  None of the classes on that category page are any of the tank classes from the previous series.

21:20 <Cepheid> Ali:  DR + % of resistance, I believe.

21:20 <Cepheid> DR = Damage Reduction.

21:20 <Ali> Most seem to have 0's

21:20 <Ali> Like acid for example

21:20 <Ali> For iron armor its 0//20%

21:21 <Ali> And power armor is 0/60%

21:21 <Cepheid> Yep.

21:21 * Schism blehs, and finishes another few dungeons. "Okay. So, that's for THOSE..."

21:22 <Ali> So what's the point in having stats for something if its almost always zero?

21:22 <Cepheid> Modding.  In case they decide to change it later.

21:23 <ADragonHoarding> after some research, ali, I have found the answer

21:24 <Cepheid> Programmatically, because it's derived from some sort of base concept, possibly "Armor", which has all those stats by default, all set to 0, 0%, and whenever the engine displays the stats of any derived armor, it shows those stats anyways, because the system does not differentiate between the different kinds of armor for displaying stuff on the UI.

21:24 <ADragonHoarding> Armor has two types of resistances

21:24 <ADragonHoarding> There's Flat resistance, and percentage resistance.

21:24 <ADragonHoarding> the first number in the stat page is flat resistance. It reduces the damage type by the specified number each time you're hit

21:25 <ADragonHoarding> the second number, the percentage, is the percentage reduction that the armor applies to the damage type, after reducing by flat resistance.

21:25 <Ali> So basically

21:25 <Ali> You'll blow yourself up less

21:26 <Schism> Hum.  Two more dungeons.  HLTL (Hard), and Snowcloak.

21:27 <ADragonHoarding> Right. So Acid showing 0/60%, means that the armor will reduce all acid damage by 60% from the full damage of the hit.

21:28 <ADragonHoarding> explosion showing 20/30%, means that any explosion hit will be reduced by 20 damage first, then further reduced by 30%.

21:28 <Cepheid> Yes yes yes yes YES!  I mapped the entire floor, no more pitfalls!  *Falls in a pit*

21:28 <ADragonHoarding> so if the hit would be for, say, 15, plink no damage.

21:28 <Ali> Karma says hi

21:28 * PinkieShy sneezes on Ali

21:28 <PinkieShy> :O

21:28 <ADragonHoarding> If for 30, then you would take 10*.7 or 7 damage.

21:29 * Ali eewws and goes to clean herself up

21:29 * PinkieShy sanitizes Ali

21:29 <Cepheid> You know, I didn't think I'd make it this far with max level 70.

21:29 <Cepheid> I'm on the final floor now.

21:29 <Cepheid> "Those who stand resolved" is the floor title.

21:30 * Ali slouches over, isn't resolved now

21:30 <Cepheid> Shortcut there..

21:30 <Cepheid> And...  Damnit.

21:30 <Cepheid> More no-radar rooms.

21:31 <Cepheid> Not many FOEs on the map, which leaves me mildly suspicious.

21:32 <Cepheid> Brought back a nasty trick from EO1, though.

21:32 <ADragonHoarding> from what I'm reading it looks like Landsknecht might be the most defensive in Nexus, Cepheid. Dunno though.

21:32 <Cepheid> They're generally considered a mid-point, offense and defense.

21:33 <ADragonHoarding> aye.

21:33 <ADragonHoarding> Imperial looks interesting

21:33 <ADragonHoarding> the wiki says that the Hero is the jack of all trades more so than the landsknecht now

21:34 <Ali> Fusion reactor GO

21:34 <Cepheid> Imperials are designed for damage output.

21:34 <Cepheid> They can do some amazing physical damage.

21:34 <ADragonHoarding> aye

21:35 <ADragonHoarding> I'm mostly concerned that pairing my name up with an all-rounder would dilute the awesomeness.

21:35 <ADragonHoarding> Landsknecht has Vanguard in Nexus?

21:36 <Cepheid> They certainly have the VIT to be a tank.

21:37 <Ali> ONE laser defense ah ah ah

21:37 * Ali boops SunsetShimmer

21:37 <Cepheid> Yeah, combining offense-boosting skills with an Imperial would make for some impressive damage situations.

21:37 <ADragonHoarding> from the wiki it claimed the imperial was the third most defensive in ... 4? yes. 4. behind LK and fortress

21:37 <Cepheid> Wouldn't surprise me if they could exceed 10,000 damage with their special skill.

21:37 <ADragonHoarding> and fortress is sir not appearing in this game

21:38 <ADragonHoarding> but the real question is does the LK have tank powers of "hit me!" or "Guard them!"

21:40 <Cepheid> No, no skills like that.

21:41 <Schism> Theeeeere.  All dungeons in ARR cleared in order to get this damnable relic weapon upgraded.  What's next...

21:42 <Cepheid> Oh.

21:42 <Cepheid> One of the classes isn't listed in the categories.

21:42 <Cepheid> If you expand the "Etrian Odyssey Nexus" thing at the bottom of the Hero page, you can see other classes.

21:42 <Cepheid> Protector is the class you want for defensive purposes, and it exists in Nexus.

21:44 <Cepheid> https://etrian.fandom.com/wiki/Protector

21:44 <ADragonHoarding> ah

21:44 <Cepheid> They get Taunt, which is EO3's Provoke, right off the bat.

21:45 <Cepheid> Healing Wall would synergize well with Taunt.

21:45 <Ali> I wish I knew where my Tales of Symphonia Guidebook was

21:46 <ADragonHoarding> I think I like Imperial as a subclass.

21:46 <Cepheid> Works for me.

21:48 <Ali> So how well will 4 lasers work against bugs?

21:49 <Cepheid> Oh yeah, we're on the floor with an abyssal god just a few hundred meters away.  This looks like the perfect camping spot.  Tentacles pulsating will just lull us to slee.

21:50 <Ali> Who thought this was a good idea for a save spot?!?

21:50 <ADragonHoarding> the autosave mechanic

21:51 <Cepheid> Campsites basically let you use tents to restore health.

21:51 <Ali> Ok so 2 MK2 batteries, a fusion reactor, and 4 PLDs

21:55 <Schism> Hmmm.  Kaiser Knuckles, get.

21:55 <Schism> "But wait-- there's more!"

22:02 <Ali> Hmm, they're effective but still lacking a little, needs missle backup still

22:05 <Ali> Hmmm, 42 damage a shot, not too bad

22:25 <Cepheid> Almost got it mapped out.

22:25 * DashedRainbows licks Jackie

22:26 * Jackie cuddle Filly_Nightmares and DashedRainbows

22:27 <Cepheid> ...

22:28 <Cepheid> Apparently, as I dive into the eldritch realm, earthquakes have been occurring and getting worse up in Armoroad.

22:31 <Cepheid> ...

22:31 <Cepheid> Wait, what?

22:31 <Cepheid> I'm on B24F, every stratum has been four floors.

22:31 <Cepheid> Why is there a down stairs here?

22:32 <Cepheid> "That which eternal can lie" - Floor 25.

22:33 <Cepheid> Hum.  Why is there paths to go along, when the boss is literally straight ahead?

22:36 <Schism> Surely it's nothing like how the boss floor of EO5 was just a straight shot.

22:36 <Cepheid> Oh, it wasn't a straight shot.  You're thinking of EO4.

22:36 <Cepheid> Where you can go and poke the final boss at any time, but doing so without exploring and getting clues was suicide.

22:36 <LibrarianofHope> the lovecraft quote?

22:37 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope:  Hmm?

22:37 <Cepheid> That line is a quote from Lovecraft?

22:37 <LibrarianofHope> not quite

22:38 <LibrarianofHope> reminded me " There is no death tha can eteranl die and with strange eons even death may die"

22:38 <Cepheid> Heh.

22:38 <LibrarianofHope> i have spellcheck on

22:38 <LibrarianofHope> in my brain

22:38 <Cepheid> Campsite to the lower-left, mining spot to the lower right..

22:39 <Cepheid> Wandering FOEs to the upper-left, with eyes.  Upper-right..

22:40 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net)

22:41 <Cepheid> Unmoving FOE(?) and sliding panels.

22:44 <Cepheid> This is supicious.

22:44 <ADragonDreaming> suspect

22:45 <Cepheid> There's a FOE surrounded by sliding panels.  It doesn't move, faces to the left all the time, and has a convoluted path to reach it.

22:48 <Cepheid> Missing the FOEs of the sixth stratum, and it looks like I've encountered every regular enemy in the game.

22:48 <Cepheid> Let's see, what is missing item-wise..?

22:49 <Cepheid> I am missing, from regular enemies..

22:50 <Cepheid> 10 items.  Three of them are conditional drops.

22:50 *** Quits: HyperDash (HyperDash@Pony-obvko9.wa.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

22:50 <Cepheid> Do the easiest of the bunch first.  Death Scorpions.

23:06 <Cepheid> Item doesn't want to drop.  o3o

23:06 *** Joins: LunaNightwind (rvd42@Pony-3oe36i.o55u.j4eu.0191.2601.IP)

23:07 <LunaNightwind> hey

23:08 <Cepheid> Hey.  And there we go, got the item.

23:10 <Schism> "I'll have you know, I'm very allergic to pain." "That's okay, we brought plenty of antihistamines."

23:15 <Cepheid> Ironically the hardest enemy to get items from will be the Insectortoise.  When it is defeated, it uses a summon skill and disappears.  It doesn't kill as a kill.

23:15 <Cepheid> Er, count as a kill*

23:15 <Cepheid> So you get no items from it.

23:17 <Reiko> Is it the end

23:30 <Cepheid> Hey ADragonDreaming, tonight I can't do bomb game.  In about 30 minutes, I'm gonna be taking my sedative to get to sleep early tonight.

23:30 <Cepheid> I need to fix up my sleep cycle for next week.

23:30 <Cepheid> We,, sunday at the earliest.

23:35 <Schism> Cepheid: Heh, this seems like the sort of project you would do.  http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2100/fc02060.htm

23:39 <Cepheid> Would definitely require less than 1000kg of material.

23:40 <Cepheid> Modern flash cards are approaching terabyte sizes now.  Could also use a RAID array of multiple SSDs or large-terabyte platter drives.

23:41 <Schism> Aye, though they were considering less refined solutions before that.  o3o

23:42 <Cepheid> I noticed.

23:45 <Schism> How to cause an AI to have ... I'm not sure 'a crisis of faith' is strong enough.  http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff3300/fc03295.htm

23:45 <Cepheid> Also, I'm not sure that number of combinations is correct.

23:46 <Cepheid> Oh, wait

23:46 <Cepheid> That's scientific notation.

23:47 <Cepheid> Or an attempt at it, anyways.

23:47 <Cepheid> It's just a translation of 10000^6 to 10^24

23:48 <Cepheid> So yeah the number is correct.

23:48 <Schism> Eh, it's accurate.  Starting with the comic prior to the one I linked, when Dvorak started with 7.175x10^237.

23:48 <Schism> Anyhoo, aye.

23:49 <Cepheid> These enemies are being stubborn with their second item.

23:50 <Ali> So lets see

23:50 <Ali> Copper mine is online

23:51 <Ali> Working on flooding local iron mine with miners to get that online

23:51 <Ali> Then rework the furnaces

23:52 <Cepheid> Huh, those two beat the odds and BOTH dropped their second item.  o3o

23:53 <Cepheid> Dreamer finally joins the post-400 ATK power crew.  Everyone, except Ali and Dreamer, are utilizing their best weapons.

23:55 * Schism looks at OOTS. "Oh."

23:56 * Cepheid goes to murder all the Pasarans.

23:58 <Cepheid> And that indeed confirms I have seen every single regular monster.

23:58 <Schism> Huzzah!
