00:09 <LunaNightwind> is the game For Honor worth trying at all?
00:09 <Cepheid> Dunno, never played it.

00:12 <Schism> Apple announce that they're going to create their very own credit card, and explain, "It's going to be better because it's through US, not through a bank!"
00:13 <Cepheid> Monthly fees are $60 on the card.
00:13 <Schism> And it stops working quickly after 6 months.
00:14 <Schism> Also, instead of a tap or swipe, it uses a proprietary mechanism which retailers have to spend a pretty penny to attach to their POS devices. If they want to use the card otherwise, they need to enter the number manually.
00:14 <Cepheid> Gotcha
00:14 <Schism> Despite this, Apple have in fact announced that credit card.
00:15 <Cepheid> Hum, second stratum one is worth more than the boss in terms of EXP.
00:15 <Cepheid> Looks like.... 4 more to go?
00:17 <Cepheid> 58,500 EXP from the Abyssal Shrine Pasaran. Hum.
00:18 <Cepheid> ...
00:18 <Cepheid> Either there's a mistranslation in it's description, or...
00:18 <Cepheid> It labels the Abyssal Shrine one as "A fluff monster drifting in the MAGMA CAVES. It's said to be related to those on upper strata."
00:19 <Cepheid> Next up, Porcelain Forest.
00:22 <Cepheid> First though, meds.
00:22 <Cepheid> Hmm? Wha- Oh.
00:22 <Cepheid> That's where the Ice Dragon is.
00:22 * Cepheid goes to poke it.
00:22 <Cepheid> ... No, wait.
00:23 <Cepheid> The Ice Dragon's deeper due to the storyline associated with it.
00:23 <Cepheid> So what- Oh, superboss for the inn kid.
00:23 <Cepheid> Based on the description, sounds like Alraune.
00:26 <Cepheid> There's Ice Drgn
00:27 <Cepheid> Hum, Pasaran's being tricky to catch.
00:29 <Cepheid> I bet I know what that one weird FOE is on the bottom floor.

00:34 <Cepheid> Well, now I understand why Floor 25 has an area to explore.
00:34 <Cepheid> There is a special mechanic apparently associated with the final boss.
00:37 <Cepheid> Huh. I can kill the first floor FOE of the stratum with ease.
00:39 <Cepheid> So, from what I can tell, there are immobile FOEs on the final floor.
00:39 <Cepheid> These are a special enemy, called "Tentacle"
00:39 <Cepheid> I'm going to assume it is connected to the boss.

02:28 <Ali> Pft
02:28 <LunaNightwind> he got it and handed it to me and said HEY ITS YOU!
02:28 <Ali> Let me guess
02:28 <Ali> All the cards were dollar rares
02:28 <LunaNightwind> no not really
02:29 <LunaNightwind> he got 3 copies of one Red Dragon card that price out to like 39.90 each
02:29 <LunaNightwind> he got 2 planes walkers
02:29 <Ali> Three dragons worth 40 bucks
02:29 <Ali> I don't remember a dragon being like that
02:29 <LunaNightwind> he got like 3 dozen foils that werent too bad
02:29 <Ali> Planeswalkers are hit or miss
02:30 <LunaNightwind> lemme pull it back out
02:30 <LunaNightwind> hold on
02:30 <Ali> And foils only matter if they're good cards
02:30 <LunaNightwind> he got 3 copies of Shivan Dragon
02:31 <LunaNightwind> i mean granted they are old cards they are all Alt 4th edition
02:31 <LunaNightwind> i didnt price out every card but some of them are gonna be good for deck building
02:31 <LunaNightwind> nothing competitive but just hanging out together they will be fun
02:33 <Ali> Shivan Dragon, god I've got so many worthless dollar rares of that thing its not even funny
02:33 <LunaNightwind> lol I cross checked the edition its alt 4th edition from what i can tell
02:33 <LunaNightwind> which is priced up to about 39 from what i could tell from a quick look
02:33 <Ali> White boarded right?
02:34 <LunaNightwind> 1 white 2 black
02:34 <Ali> Black boardered? Those must be more current
02:34 <Ali> White one could be 94, 95, or 97
02:35 <Ali> Do any of them have a set symbol?
02:35 <LunaNightwind> i cant remember off hand honestly
02:35 <LunaNightwind> im looking through the box for them but not sure where in the box he put them
02:35 <LunaNightwind> and im not looking through all 500
02:36 <Ali> Then make him look for it :P
02:36 <LunaNightwind> hes at work till 2 am lol
02:37 <LunaNightwind> thats why i get on here late at night i spoend days with him then he works from like 6 pm till 2 am
02:38 <LunaNightwind> im tempted to do a randomizer....

02:44 <LunaNightwind> naw its mom
02:44 <LunaNightwind> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdSxOhiSOFs thats ISG with sword but it works with Deku stick to
02:49 <LunaNightwind> basically with ISG active you are in a never ending string of attacking with the same power as your last sword swipe (usually a crouching thrust
02:50 <Ali> Yeah I know about the glitch
02:50 <Ali> But jump slash stick is devistating.
02:51 <LunaNightwind> i would rather have ISG doing un ending damage than jump slash repeatedly
02:52 <Colgate> why not ISG with deku stick? :P
02:53 <LunaNightwind> i was just saying you can do that colgate
02:53 <LunaNightwind> Also ali remember that Crouch stab does as much damage as your previous attack in OoT for the 64
02:53 <LunaNightwind> programing oversight
02:53 <Colgate> crouch stab op
02:54 <LunaNightwind> so do a jump slash with the stick then crouch stab to activate ISG and every hit with the ISG will do jump slash damage
02:54 <LunaNightwind> and ISG keeps the stick from snappign \

06:18 * Ali flops into ConfusionRift
06:19 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.
06:20 <Ali> So ConfusionRift, I made a better train station for unloading
06:25 <ConfusionRift> Nice.
06:27 <Ali> https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198007206389/screenshot/795369537908857208 This is the train loadout I'm testing. Still not running up to 100% yet and this is before I got Personal Laser Defense online as well.
06:27 * Ali yawns and flops into ConfusionRift
06:29 <ConfusionRift> Seems to be effective. Have enough lanes for all the trains, everyone gets unloaded, and have an extra lane for just in case they have to skip through.
06:30 <Ali> Yeah but the skip lane can be removed for more space
06:30 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, you can add more stations there.
06:31 <Ali> Not sure if I want a station in the middle though
06:31 <ConfusionRift> Or you can combine fueling?
06:32 <Ali> I have a refuel station off to the side of that picture
06:32 <Ali> Have rocket fuel
06:32 <Ali> But sadly power is a horrid problem

06:37 <ConfusionRift> So they load up, chug to this large station, and get refueled on the way out?
06:38 <Ali> They load up, chug to the designated drop off station, then heads off to refuel
06:38 <ConfusionRift> ...
06:39 <Ali> I think the refuel area has a wait area for 3 trains
06:39 * Ali headtilts to ConfusionRift
06:39 <ConfusionRift> Wait, I only see one lane for refuel.
06:40 <Ali> Eeyup
06:40 <Ali> One lane, 5 second wait of inactivity
06:40 <Ali> 3 trains can stack there without blocking the path
06:42 <Ali> And each train can only hold 30 fuel so it doesn't take too long to load up.

09:07 <Cepheid> Eldritch God of chaos, destruction and madness?
09:08 <Cepheid> You know, I've always wondered. With pen-and-paper games, like DnD, how does the DM handle cases where they need to relay information to a player, without letting the rest of the players know?
09:08 <ConfusionRift> For the most part, aren't they in a group?
09:09 <Cepheid> Most of the time, yeah.
09:10 <Cepheid> But I can think of situations where they'd be separated, or where a character might be affected by something, say a spell, that the rest of the party would not be aware of happening.
09:11 <ConfusionRift> I guess the DM would just have to relay it on whisper or call them forward so you can tell them.
09:11 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmemes/comments/ctrha7/another_town_saved_from_another_bbeg_good_job_team/?st=jzmgtl7r&sh=560b9d2a
09:11 <Cepheid> Alternatively I guess, hand a folded note to the player.
09:12 <ConfusionRift> That too.
09:13 <Cepheid> Nowadays, since you can do DnD and similar systems over the Internet, thanks to stuff like Discord and/or IRC, you can get away with poking a relevant player in a PM.
09:17 <Cepheid> Me and DnD... Or any other pen-and-paper game generally tend not to go well together. Like, I'm interested in it all, but I lack the focus to play it quickly. No idea why.
09:19 <Cepheid> That said, some of these memes. Apparently some people like to write lengthy backstories to their characters.
09:20 *** Quits: Persona (Tilde@Pony-egs1bk.dgbc.9fgu.6000.2605.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
09:20 <Cepheid> Me, I'd just go "Grew up as an angry child, learned how to sword, how to control anger, then attended school for proper education. Became the world's most civilised barbarian."
09:23 <ConfusionRift> "I'm good, but not that good." | So you would be the one who folds a napkin on your lap, sips the tea, and keeps elbows away from the table. But also the one who puts your enemy's head on a pike. | "Yeah, kinda."
09:24 <Cepheid> And then later, during a classy dress event of some sort, he's walking around in a tuxedo that barely contains his muscular frame, and what's uncovered is covered in tattoos, and he's bald, and he has the world's largest two-handed axe attached to his hip as if it were a keychain.
09:26 <Cepheid> It turns out that somehow, he was actually the classiest, most polite people of the entire party, to attend the event and attempt an assassination on the host. Classier and more polite than the paladin or cleric.
09:26 <Cepheid> Er, polite person*
09:26 <ConfusionRift> "May I have this dance, m'lady?" | Man, you can keep her. I'm NOT gonna argue about it. (slowly backs off)
09:27 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the rest of the party is out nearby, playing a game of Houses and Humans.
09:27 <ConfusionRift> The cleric is getting drunk, and the paladin is picking a fight with the guard at the gate. :P
09:28 <Cepheid> "Damnit, I got a critical 1. Why'd we send the barbarian in anyways!?" "I told you already, he's the only one of us who's had a bath in weeks, he's the only one who owns a tuxedo, and he can mingle with the crowd accordingly with his education."
09:28 <ConfusionRift> "His charisma stats are stupid high."
09:29 <Cepheid> It makes no sense, but it's different from the norm, and presents it's own interesting challenges. Can also lead to funny business not involving the party killing everyone in the tavern.
09:30 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me of that DnD story of a bear who lived among humans, and was basically friends with royalty, and was all by pure stats. :P
09:31 <Cepheid> Yep.
09:31 <Cepheid> Like, it's fun to follow archetypes now and then, but they get boring.
09:31 <Cepheid> Want to make things interesting? Switch it up.
09:32 <Cepheid> Your barbarian who's always got low wisdom and int, but excessive strength? Make him smart or wise for a change, maybe through reducing your strength a bit to more average levels.
09:33 <ConfusionRift> https://imgur.com/r/greentext/gTBIaTb
09:33 <Cepheid> I am familiar with that story, yes.
09:35 <ConfusionRift> Still, it's pretty funny. And I do agree. Every once in a while, it's nice to just go past the norm and just mess around with what's expected. A smarter barbarian, a rogue cleric, a thief who's stupid strong, etc.
09:35 <Cepheid> A bard who doesn't try to seduce every living thing it comes across.
09:35 <ConfusionRift> That too. :P
09:36 <ConfusionRift> "Hey, do you know anything that can help with our health or stamina maybe?" | "N-no. But I can melt the faces of your enemies."
09:36 <Cepheid> In reality though, I'd likely try something akin to a barbarian with stats and skills that suggest average intelligence, and extremely patient and in-control.
09:37 * ConfusionRift takes out a keytar.
09:37 <Cepheid> "Hey, I need to enrage. Someone please insult my mother." "Your mother was slightly rude to me." "THAT MAKES ME SO DAMNED MAAAAAAD!"
09:38 * ConfusionRift laughs.
09:39 <Cepheid> I base that off the fact that random things, out of the blue, can just send me into a rage for no apparent reason.
09:40 <Cepheid> Which would probably make me closer to a traditional barbarian, really.
09:41 <Cepheid> Not sure what race would suit me, though. o3o
09:42 <ConfusionRift> Cleric: "Your mother is but a common wench." | Barbarian: "...no, of course not. She's a saint and the best person I know. She would never stoop that low." | Cleric: "Sorry, I didn't meant that. Hmm, let me see. Hey, any ideas?" | Paladin: "..." (grabs the barbarian's porcelain cup, and drops it) | Barbarian: "...OH, YOU ARE DEAD!!!"
09:43 <Cepheid> Hah!

10:01 <Cepheid> Making Nighty an Arbalest wasn't actually that good an idea. She has 26 STR, which means she does very little damage, despite being equipped with an incredibly powerful weapon.
10:01 <Cepheid> Her highest stats are LUC at 67, AGI at 46, and VIT at 40. TEC is 29, thus she's also not suited for magic.

10:42 * Schism also wonders how that went for RSF.
10:43 <RazorSharpFang> Nothing was accounted for, all the numbers were wrong. There was a current active build and people were taking stuff from stock whilst I was counting it.
10:44 <Schism> Auuuugh.
10:44 <ConfusionRift> Yep, that's inventory for ya.
10:49 <RazorSharpFang> What's worse is that I'm not even in the warehousing crew, I'm a software developer.

11:03 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang: In regards to inventory counting, count the stock and accept the number. If someone removes an item from the shelf, don't adjust the count. Usually, customer purchases are accounted for.
11:03 <Cepheid> If they take an item off *WHILE* you're counting an item, just remember the number you last had and do your best.
11:04 <Finwe> Cepheid: You probably used some numerical method.

11:05 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, very few numbers I counted matched the accounting system.
11:05 <Cepheid> Nah. Just brute-forced the calculation, Finwe.
11:05 <Finwe> There is an inverse to the gamma function, but it's not expressible using elementary functions.
11:05 <Cepheid> Fewer than recorded, or more, RazorSharpFang?
11:05 <Schism> Lumindia, the scree shall be doubled!
11:05 <RazorSharpFang> A bit of both
11:06 <Cepheid> More than you have on the system is okay. It's when you have less.
11:06 <Cepheid> It means either someone miscounted or did some bad math at last update of the information, or that it's shrink.
11:07 <RazorSharpFang> Either that or someone never filed their material-usage-sheet
11:08 <RazorSharpFang> We have parts that have their own part numbers, that when you combine (and drill holes into) become a new part.
11:08 <Cepheid> Oh, not parts or products for customers. Internal usage.
11:08 <RazorSharpFang> Very few parts are sold as-is.
11:09 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's actually a bit trickier to inventory.
11:09 <Schism> You'd think you could say, "Hey, guys, when you use a part while we're doing inventory, mark it on a sheet so we don't lose count."
11:09 <Cepheid> No, he means use sheets as in, during everyday work.
11:10 <Cepheid> When a part is utilized, it should be scanned or part number written down, so at a later date, when updating the inventory, those parts can be removed from the database.
11:10 <Schism> Oh, right. day-to-day material usage sheets.
11:10 <Schism> Well, yeah. It figures that people are lax about that sort of practice. ._.
11:10 <Cepheid> My complaint is a bit different in regards to that setup, though.
11:11 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares
11:11 <Cepheid> Namely, people manhandling the packaging so damned badly that the UPC code cannot be scanned, and has to be entered manually. Or using old boxes to hold new parts, scratching out the old code and writing a new one somewhere on the box.
11:11 * Filly_Nightmares mewls
11:11 <Cepheid> Or heavens forbid on the part itself.
11:11 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, about 10% of our stock has no labelling at all.
11:11 <Cepheid> There's that too.
11:12 <Cepheid> That's usually the worst case for my type of inventory work.
11:12 <Cepheid> Since we have to then go find someone who works in the relevant department, who oftentimes want nothing to do with us since we're interfering with their own work.
11:14 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, that can cause dissonance.
11:14 <Cepheid> Gettin' real tired of your *YAY*, Vampire Tree.
11:18 <RazorSharpFang> It is raining again
11:18 <Cepheid> Oh awesome, Line Guard does nothing to defend against that attack.
11:20 <Cepheid> Please tell me that's it's secondary drop.
11:20 <Cepheid> It is! I can move on.
11:21 * ConfusionRift stands with a shield. "Nothing shall pass by my shield!" Watches as the mortar goes over his head and destroy the rest of the group. "Oh..."
11:21 <Cepheid> And it gets me...
11:21 <Cepheid> A weapon no one can use.
11:22 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I really, really need to find the item that unlocks the Stone +++++ resist item.
11:25 * Cepheid tells ConfusionRift to set up a camping tent in the Cyclopean Haunt, which is filled with mysterious leaf floors, fangs sticking out of the ground, pulsating oversized octopus tentacles everywhere, and the occasional all-seeing-eye that alerts FOEs to our presence. Oh, and an eldritch god at the bottom.
11:26 * ConfusionRift votes for hammocks.
11:27 <Cepheid> Hilariously, there's a campsite not 20 steps away from said eldritch god on the bottom floor.
11:28 * ConfusionRift points at MHW. "There's a campsite basically held by tree branches, and one just a few feet from an active volcano.
11:28 <Cepheid> That's true.
11:29 <Cepheid> One less monster to hunt down, unless I need multiple items from it's body.
11:30 <Cepheid> Last four are tricky.
11:31 <Cepheid> Three of them have a conditional, and one monster functions weirdly.
11:31 <Cepheid> If the monster dies via any means other than instant death, or without being bound to hell and back before it dies, it'll lay an egg. This straight up removes the monster from the battle, and, this is the key detail:
11:31 <Cepheid> It does not count as a kill for purposes of obtaining an item.

12:02 <Jackie> 4'33?
12:03 <Schism> Sure, the most famous piece from avant-garde composer John Cage.
12:15 * ConfusionRift looks for it, and...

12:19 <ConfusionRift> Heh.
12:20 <Cepheid> He does that now and then.
12:21 <Cepheid> Huh, apparently the above enemy has multiple items that have a conditional requirement.

12:26 <Cepheid> So Dreamer has a random chance with any weapon to inflict instant death. I put the Mercy Dagger on him. It hs 5 forges for Instant Death.

12:37 <Cepheid> No, no such item exists, outside of a formaldehyde. No, I'm going for increased hit rate.

12:37 <ConfusionRift> If it's there, use it. :P
12:37 <Cepheid> I'll take all the formaldehydes I have, have both characters attack, and use one formaldehyde each turn. If they hit it and kill it on the same turn, then I'm lucky and I get all the items right off the bat.

12:45 <Cepheid> Then again, so's Yggdrasil.
12:46 <Cepheid> Basic gist of the story: The Deep Ones and their God traversed a star-filled black void, crashed onto the planet that EO3 takes place on(Assumed to be Earth, given Nexus/Cross,) and it was being chased by Yggdrasil, who later crashes onto the planet in the exact same spot.
12:47 <Cepheid> Based on the appearance of the impacts, Armoroad shouldn't, or didn't, exist at the time.
12:47 <ConfusionRift> Oh goodness!!! (fwoooooooom-)
12:47 <Cepheid> In any case, the Deep Ones and their god were basically "encased" by the roots of the tree, and suppressed.
12:47 <Cepheid> But the exact timeline of the impacts is unknown.
12:48 <ConfusionRift> Devourer: "The heck is... no, not dealing with that again!!!" | Me: Muhuahahaha-HAHAHAAA!
12:48 <Cepheid> Since it's described that Armoroad suffered from a horrible, debilitating disease that turned people into monsters(Deep Ones), which was cured shortly after Yggdrasil arrived, bringing with it a snow-like element that descended upon Armoroad.
12:48 <Cepheid> Those who were touched by it were cured of the disease.
12:49 <Cepheid> So the exact timeline wasn't along the lines of "Deep Ones and God Impacted followed by Yggdrasil a few seconds later."
12:49 <Cepheid> It was closer to "Deep Ones and God impacted, spread disease and grew in strength. Then Yggdrasil arrived, cured the disease, and sealed the Deep Ones and their God."
12:50 <Cepheid> It is heavily implied too, that the Deep Ones wren't the bad guys.
12:50 <Cepheid> They fed on humans for food and drink, but apparently? They were closer to slaves of the God.
12:50 <Cepheid> In that the God drove them to act, made them do the horrible things they were doing. At least, that's what's suggested by the leader of the Deep Ones.
12:51 <Cepheid> If you get the Sky Bowl and the Starry Shard, and bring it to the Eldest One at the critical point, he will do something to them that turns them into a "crown" called the Porcelain Offering.
12:53 <ConfusionRift> Oh, so they changed how fireblossoms worked. Huh... (facedesks)
12:53 <Cepheid> Alongside this, he brands the party with an invisible crest. After you bring the Offering to the relevant folks, and cure them of their respective "diseases" (One's a Deep One that retains her humanity, but is slowly going insane from the whispers of the God. The other sacrificed his memories(Presumably repression via Yggdrasil's influence) and waged war on the Deep Ones in Yggdrasil's name.)
12:53 <Cepheid> After the offering is delivered, you're called back to the Abyssal Shrine, and warned.
12:54 <Cepheid> The Eldest One has regained his power, and will destroy humanity, unless the party is able to stop him. He even expressly points out the "unless the party can stop him."
12:55 <Cepheid> Which implies that, somewhere in his mind, he *WANTS* to be stopped. And in fact, when you kill him, he expresses that was his desire. He wanted to redeem himself and his people in the eyes of humanity. This ultimately implies that his actions, and the actions of his people, are not their own. The Abyssal God is controlling them. What overall effect these events have on dealing with said Abyssal God, I dunno.
12:55 <Cepheid> I'll have to find out in a NG+ later on.
12:56 <Cepheid> Once I kill the Abyssal God and get the absolute true ending, the only way to determine what the different paths changes is to go and kill it on another path besides the true path.
12:57 <Cepheid> If I had to guess if anything changed, I'd say it's likely either the Abyssal God is stronger, much stronger, or that the game clues you in on the true path.
12:58 <Cepheid> Still can't believe this game never got a remake, though.

13:05 <Cepheid> Also, inexplicably, Cepheid's Protect Order keeps getting stronger. Thinking it might be based on a stat. Danged thing restores nearly 300 HP a turn now. Rivals Schism's healing spells, outside of Full Heal.

13:51 <Cepheid> But I've grown to like them, because they get my imagination going at times.
13:52 <Cepheid> Like the whole "Dreamer's drawing enemies to punch his face and taking it like a tank armored in tanks."
13:52 <Schism> "It's a tank. It's made of tank."
13:54 <Cepheid> Looks like this monster's immune to head binding, too.
13:55 <Cepheid> It can't be bound on the head, and the arms, haven't tried yet. It's easily bound in the legs, though.
13:58 <Schism> WHM and BLM rank 1 on everyone. Hum, should I start leveling the others here, or just proceed? Probably proceed.
13:58 <Cepheid> Bash damage. Nope.
14:01 <Schism> And now the Worus Canal, where the enemies only attack women. Good thing there's only one woman in the party!
14:01 <Cepheid> Slash damage... Nope. Can bind the arms, though. Not sure if it'll do anything though.
14:03 <Cepheid> Ironically, pierce damage will be the hardest to test.
14:03 <Cepheid> Dreamer's got that skill that provides instant-death chance. If that hits, the kill is considered via instant-death, not the weapon type.
14:06 <Schism> Karlabos went down like a chump. Turns out that having four party members who can cast bolt is a good thing against a sea monster.
14:06 * Cepheid looks at the name of this new shield.
14:06 * Cepheid decides not to mention it in the presence of Schism and Lumindia.
14:08 <Cepheid> Hildebrand.
14:08 <Schism> A most gentlemanly shield.
14:09 <Cepheid> And given the depth it was found, probably one of the better ones I can make.
14:11 <Schism> Hmm. Blue magic requires 70 AP as an off-class ability. Not BAD, but... I wonder if there might be better choices... eh. I want BLU ASAP.
14:13 <Schism> If memory serves, Aero is pretty useful against a lot of enemies that don't fall to the standard fire/ice/lightning weaknesses.
14:14 *** Quits: Hat (Hat@Pony-km6pv1.exetel.com.au) (Client exited)
14:14 <Cepheid> Kill via curse damage, no. Killed while paralyzed, nope.
14:14 <Cepheid> That just leaves...
14:14 <Cepheid> Confusion, while arms are bound, and via pierce damage.
14:15 *** Joins: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-vrt.ugb.207.187.IP)
14:17 <Cepheid> Of course, that's the one time Instant Death *HAS* to trigger.
14:19 <Cepheid> Kill with arms bound, nope.
14:21 <Cepheid> Never before have I had an issue in which instant death was *NOT* desired.
14:22 <Schism> Ouch. Siren hits like a truck when she turns undead, but melted right away before a few Fires.
14:23 <Cepheid> Seriously, what is this? In every other RPG out there, instant death almost never works. And yet, here, I keep triggering it when I don't need it.
14:24 <Schism> It's BECAUSE you don't need it that it keeps working.
14:24 <Cepheid> Finally, killed one with piercing damage.
14:25 <Cepheid> Aaaaand nope. All that remains is confusion.
14:25 <Schism> Hm, the downside of an unbalanced party rears its ugly head.
14:25 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, the relevant weapon is a Ninja/Shogun weapon, and guess what I don't have?
14:26 <Cepheid> Actually no, that's not entirely true. I got a level 11 ninja
14:27 <Cepheid> ... I could have sworn I had a weapon forged with multiple confusion cases.
14:28 <Cepheid> 50en says I accidentally sold it. o3o
14:28 <Cepheid> Oh well, I'll forge one then.
14:29 <Cepheid> If this doesn't work, I'm going to a guide dang it.
14:29 <RazorSharpFang> I found a single headphone on the ground, so naturally, I took a hammer and smashed it open, and now I have a tiny magnet.
14:29 <Cepheid> Because conditionals are not guaranteed to drop, annoyingly.
14:30 <Cepheid> Nice.
14:30 <Cepheid> Those magnets are fun.
14:30 <RazorSharpFang> What I really want though, is one of those powerful neodynnium magnets.
14:30 * Cepheid watches Nighty confuse an egg. "... What's wrong with this guild?"
14:30 <Cepheid> Razor, bust open an old platter drive.
14:31 <RazorSharpFang> I don't have any old drives. :/
14:31 * Schism hums. "Spent all my gil on consumables, because there's no way I'm going out without at LEAST a bunch of antidotes, and 10 softs, maiden's kisses, etc."
14:32 <Cepheid> Amazon a set of magnets, then. Or buy a new hard drive for your computer, and use the old drive for parts.
14:32 <LibrarianofHope> done with the previous day shipping
14:32 <LibrarianofHope> owo
14:32 <LibrarianofHope> morning
14:33 <RazorSharpFang> I wanted to make an exercise machine, except it generates power when you use it.
14:33 <Schism> Hmmm, Ice Rod. I believe I'll save this for a boss which is going to come up in a few chapters.
14:35 <Cepheid> Take a regular bicycle, get one of those stationary devices that allows you to pedal the bike without the back wheel touching the ground(It turns the bike into an exercise bike, basically), attach a bike-based generator to said wheel.
14:35 <RazorSharpFang> I was thinking of attaching a magnet to a gear, which will spin and induce current in a coil.
14:37 <Cepheid> I mean sure, if you want to go that route.
14:37 <Cepheid> But there are simpler ways of doing what you want.
14:37 <RazorSharpFang> That said, I want DC, not AC, so I'd probably chuck on a full-bridge rectifier.
14:38 <Cepheid> Okay. I've done everything I possibly can.
14:38 <Cepheid> Except outright kill this thing in one turn.
14:38 <Cepheid> And I think I did even *THAT* with one or two Instant Death cases.
14:38 <Cepheid> ...
14:38 <Cepheid> Except head binding.
14:39 <Cepheid> Which I thought it was immune to.
14:41 <Cepheid> So it's just highly-resistant then. Keep hitting it with appropriate attacks, then blast it into non-existence with a Etherically-charged Fire Star.
14:42 <RazorSharpFang> Anyhow I'm off to sleep. Good night.
14:44 <Cepheid> I can keep this up all day, Omnivore. You're gonna give me that item sooner or later.
14:44 * Cepheid regenerates 300 HP across the party each turn.

14:57 <Cepheid> Touhou's pretty much become a world-wide sensation, hasn't it? On par with Vocaloid, practically.
14:58 <LibrarianofHope> about the same
14:59 * Cepheid draws his blade, points it towards the Omnivore. "I got you this time." Strikes, binds the head, and blasts it with fire for over 1,800 damage.
14:59 <LibrarianofHope> albeit bad apple is a classic, i would bet a lot of those that hear it dont know the origin
14:59 <Cepheid> Probably, yeah.
15:00 <Cepheid> Hum. The conditional drop didn't unlock anything. Do I need more?
15:00 <LibrarianofHope> with the miku concerts vocaloid is ahead, but to the mainstream is still a curiosity
15:01 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgMKoQxyWtk Hmm.
15:01 <Cepheid> Good ole' Initial D. Also up there.
15:02 <Cepheid> Though Initial D was more well-known for making eurobeat more popular, including a number of obscure artists more well-known.
15:02 <LibrarianofHope> been a fan of jonathan young for years
15:02 <LibrarianofHope> he is amazing, great covers
15:02 <Cepheid> Can't say I'm familiar with him.
15:03 <LibrarianofHope> i became sort of friends with many cover artists by neccessity
15:03 * Cepheid listens.
15:03 <LibrarianofHope> https://youtu.be/5XAsRYPpw8E
15:04 <LibrarianofHope> you might enjoy this
15:04 <Cepheid> Heh.
15:04 <Cepheid> Ah, 99.9. Not 99. Either way, Mob Psycho's cool.
15:05 <LibrarianofHope> i try to encourage all the artists i use songs for inspiration both in english and spanish, there is so much talent in the cover community
15:05 <Cepheid> I've had this one idea for a "Dev Boss Battle" in a sidescroller game.
15:05 <Cepheid> Or even in an RPG.
15:05 <LibrarianofHope> fnaf world comes to mind
15:06 <LibrarianofHope> it has two issues, you are unknown now and you dont have a company to make it funny/cool
15:06 <Cepheid> As the player fights, in the back ground is a flickering hologram of a percentage, rising from 0.00% to 100.00%, at which point, the "pinch" mode triggers, and then the percentage drops several times faster, until it reaches 0.00%, and then the process repeats.
15:06 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)
15:07 <LibrarianofHope> i think is misundersttod
15:07 <Cepheid> I'm thinking of a case where the player can find a hidden secret area where they can fight the lead developer of the game, IE: Me.
15:07 <Cepheid> But of course, AI-controlled.
15:08 <LibrarianofHope> then my orevious logic applies
15:08 <Cepheid> Oh?
15:08 <LibrarianofHope> it depends on some variables
15:08 <Cepheid> Not really.
15:08 <Cepheid> I've seen the above case in games from developers who were relatively unknown.
15:08 <Cepheid> La-Mulana is a prime example.
15:08 <LibrarianofHope> umm
15:08 <Cepheid> ...
15:09 <Cepheid> Okay, we're clearly not thinking about the same thing.
15:09 <LibrarianofHope> or undertale, albeit it was the dog
15:09 <Cepheid> Right, right.
15:09 <Cepheid> La-Mulana, meanwhile, had an obscure, pain-in-the-butt secret to get to the developer boss.
15:09 <LibrarianofHope> fighting an avatar you might be better i would suggest
15:09 <LibrarianofHope> make something cute/cool to fight
15:09 <Cepheid> ...
15:09 <Cepheid> Okay, LibrarianofHope?
15:10 <Cepheid> You're describing exactly what I'm describing.
15:10 <LibrarianofHope> im mostly stream of conscience thinking
15:10 <Cepheid> The percentage thing represents my madness.
15:10 <LibrarianofHope> if we were in the same room i would be muttering
15:10 <Cepheid> That thing where I inexplicably explode and aggressively verbally attack folks.
15:11 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@Pony-kh9.ipa.129.180.IP)
15:11 <Cepheid> In my case, I prefer the above approach, similar to Mob from Mob Pyscho 100, because that is literally how my condition works.
15:11 <Cepheid> There is absolutely no precursor indicators to me losing my *YAY*.
15:11 <Cepheid> I mean, days before, perhaps, sure. I get temperamental.
15:11 *** Cyan_Spark is now known as Pony_84900
15:11 <LibrarianofHope> if you give out something good for beating you then its a great idea
15:11 <Cepheid> But the minutes leading up to the outburst? Absolutely no indication.
15:11 <Cepheid> Yeah, La-Mulana did something of the sort.
15:12 <Cepheid> It's common sense to provide a good reward for defeating the developer.
15:12 <Cepheid> La-Mulana... ... ... It was a swimsuit, that your character would wear.
15:13 <LibrarianofHope> sounds weird, but i dont have context
15:13 <Cepheid> The swimsuit is a one-piece suit made for one of the female characters in the game. However, she refuses to wear it.
15:13 <Cepheid> There was also a bunch of story behind the item.
15:13 <Cepheid> But your character, a male character, will willingly wear it.
15:14 <Cepheid> Nice song, by the way.
15:14 <Schism> This is a treasure that must not be seen.
15:14 <LibrarianofHope> yeah, took me ages to find my go to singers, the 10 percent rule thing
15:15 <Cepheid> Heh.
15:15 <Cepheid> Man, heavens help me and those around me if I ever develop psychokinetic powers like Mob.

15:16 <LibrarianofHope> my novel has that as a theme owo
15:16 <Cepheid> I won't lie though.
15:16 <LibrarianofHope> an conceptual parasite called Ragefire
15:18 <LibrarianofHope> you could call your avatar thingie " Rage of A Broken God"
15:18 <Cepheid> While I am terrified of my enraged state, I want to know what it can do, like how much pain can I take in it, or how much strength I have when it's active. It's basically fight-or-flight going into overdrive.
15:19 <Cepheid> As it is, I usually just separate myself from people, yelling at people to leave me alone, so as to avoid making it worse. I usually then break down afterwards, once I'm by myself, and try to pull my mind and mood back together.
15:20 <Cepheid> I think this is why the hospital isn't too concerned about it, to be honest.
15:21 <Cepheid> Because deep down, while I get all verbally violent, I don't actually say anything or do anything to hurt others, and always manage to get enough control to separate myself from others.
15:21 <LibrarianofHope> !link https://youtu.be/kNgciZgOX5A
15:21 <LibrarianofHope> this is my personal favorite of 99.9
15:21 * Schism looks under every rock for a DerpyBot.
15:22 <LibrarianofHope> right, derpy rebelled again
15:22 <Cepheid> Ye know.
15:22 <Cepheid> All of this discussing my condition, it's making me think.
15:23 <Cepheid> I always criticize others for thinking I'm a good person, but then when I think back on all the stuff I do, and the how frequently my episodes occur..
15:23 <Cepheid> Maybe I am the type of person others say I am. A good person, etc. It's just what defines my thinking about myself is this one small fraction of myself.
15:24 <LibrarianofHope> yep, thtas about right
15:24 <Cepheid> In the grand scheme of things, I'm probably a better person than I think I am. My blind rage condition is only a small part of me.
15:24 <LibrarianofHope> you are nowhere close to being bad or evil.
15:25 <LibrarianofHope> i know evil, its selfish, iditoic and rather simple
15:25 <LibrarianofHope> you desire improvement and you are not selfish
15:25 <Cepheid> It's an uncontrollable part of myself. It is not specifically good or evil. It's just an inexplicable, nearly-uncontrollable rage. The fact that I can at least separate myself, and avoid hurting others, tells me that somewhere deep in thre, I am still in control.
15:26 <LibrarianofHope> it might be a brain defect or internal chemistry issue
15:27 <Cepheid> Well, given all the other mental health problems I have, and the fact that it is not just me that has the problem..
15:27 <Cepheid> My mother has it, her brothers have it, her sister has it. It was something passed on by my grandfather.
15:28 <LibrarianofHope> genetic defect.
15:28 <LibrarianofHope> heck, if you were in mexico i could reference you two experts
15:28 <Cepheid> I'm good.
15:28 <Cepheid> Thanks for the concern. Also, this is the first time I've thought of and discussed something like this without having a depressive meltdown.
15:28 <LibrarianofHope> my pleasure,
15:29 <Cepheid> Still gonna look into martial arts as a way to learn self-control, and maybe to even give it an outlet.
15:29 <Cepheid> Hell, maybe it'll even let me control it when it triggers, instaed of simply going into a blind mad rage.
15:30 <LibrarianofHope> on a different topic, i really want to call my tau world A´Li
15:30 <Cepheid> Heh.
15:30 <LibrarianofHope> i cant do that probably by copyright bleh
15:32 <Cepheid> Ye know, there's two other Etrian Odyssey games I need to grab. At least, Etrian Odyssey in spirit, anyways. o3o

15:33 <LibrarianofHope> and me paint
15:34 <Cepheid> Hmm. Infinite Tongue unlocks a knife.
15:34 <Cepheid> So not worth harvesting.
15:35 <Cepheid> Granted, it appears to be the absolute best general-use knife.
15:35 <Cepheid> There's only two knives above it, and they're probably class-restricted. So maybe pick one up.
15:42 <Cepheid> Thought. My belief is that it is best for me to avoid agitating situations to keep my temper and mood under control. I'm starting to think this is the wrong approach.
15:44 <Cepheid> There's a risk of agitation pushing me over the edge, but on the other hand, I kind of need to learn to notice the symptoms of agitation and learn to control them.
15:45 <Cepheid> If I avoid situations that will agitate me, then I get no experience in understanding the symptoms, and I don't have any chances to test what works and what doesn't work.
15:46 <LibrarianofHope> controlled testing does make sense
15:48 <Cepheid> Controlled testing is... tricky to do though.
15:49 <Cepheid> What agitates me is somewhat random, and if I know if someone is trying to agitate me intentionally, it kinda won't work, ye know?
15:52 <Cepheid> This conditional is... nigh-impossible to trigger.
15:52 <LibrarianofHope> not really, but you couldnt particpate in the tesg
15:52 <LibrarianofHope> test
15:52 <LibrarianofHope> consciuslyy at least
15:52 <Cepheid> This thing is insanely resistant to head bind. The enemy next to it will be guaranteed to be head-bound after one round of attacks.
15:53 <Cepheid> But this danged monster?

17:41 <Cepheid> This is a problem that's never gonna go away, this constant agitation by things. It's some flaw in my brain that I'll never control, and it's only gonna keep getting worse and worse.
17:41 <Cepheid> Because as the world gets louder and louder, with more and more people incapable of comprehending the amount of noise they make, or just how frustratingly annoying they can be..
17:42 <Cepheid> And yet, that frustrating nature is not them, it's me. I perceive their actions as frustrating, so the fault lies with me.
17:42 <Cepheid> I have to put up with their behaviour, because it's the right thing to do. But I can't, over time, I just want to yell at people to tell them to cut the ****.
17:46 <Cepheid> The only way to keep me in a good mood is to perpetually keep my mind busy. Programming, playing games. It's the only way.

17:49 <Cepheid> It's annoying, how none of my desired solutions are acceptable. Instead, I have to live with the fact that I will do this time, and time, and time, and time, and time again, hurting everyone around me. No one deserves my inexplicable rage, my inexplicable hatred, or having to even see me like this all the time.
17:50 <Cepheid> And yet, I am forced down the path of acknowledging that I will do this to people time and time and time again, letting it pile onto the gods damned pile of hell I already carry with me on a daily basis.
17:52 <Cepheid> I have an eidetic memory for every bad thing I have ever done in my life. I can't forget any of it. I want to. I want to put the past behind me, acknowledge that I made a mistake, and move on. But my damned memory won't let me.
17:52 <Cepheid> Every time I lose my temper, every time my mind wanders, every time I become depressed, my mind runs through every damned thing I've ever done, and guilt trips me over it, no matter how small, no matter how insignificant, no matter how irrelevant it is to this day.
17:55 <Cepheid> I want to put a stop to it, but I'm not allowed to.
17:55 <Cepheid> Either the hospitals don't take me seriously, because ye know, invisible illness and all, or people don't want me taking the more drastic choices because it would hurt them, only further adding to whatever negativity is flooding my brain anyways.
17:58 <Cepheid> Ironically, now that I've gone through one of my little endless depressive cycles, my mind's blank.
17:58 <Cepheid> And that lasted all of 30 seconds.

23:04 <Ali|AFK> The only two builds are plates and wires

23:19 <Cepheid> Oh, wait, that's smog.
23:20 <Cepheid> My best suggestion? Create a site dedicated to creating green circuits, deliver iron plates and copper plates to it, then deliver from that site to the main base.
