00:17 <Schism> Nothing wrong with that, it's like a less restrained Agent 47.

00:44 <Cepheid> Did I seriously just get a ******* notification from Apple, on my SAMSUNG PHONE, about their newest phone?
00:51 <LunaNightwind> i love my galaxy 10++ lol
00:56 <Cepheid> The worst part is, it was an urgent notification too.

01:05 <Cepheid> This can only lead to good things.
01:06 <Cepheid> ...
01:06 <Cepheid> There's an actual skill in this game called "Sparta Kick"
01:07 <Cepheid> "A legendary kick knocks the target back and deals 160% Warrior damage. The target won't be killed and can be recruited afterwards."
01:17 <Schism> Heh. Unless it knocks them into a pit. XD

01:41 <Cepheid> Yep, those are kittens.
01:41 <Cepheid> Bobcats are much, much larger.
01:41 <Schism> Indeed.
01:41 <Schism> Still, these are the size of regular housecats, and still kittens, so it is a thing to watch.
01:41 <Cepheid> Makes you wonder. Where's mama?
01:55 <Cepheid> So housecats are basically permanent bobcat kittens.

02:45 <Schism> ... Hm. The entrance to the apartment from the upstairs -- the attic, as it were -- was left open. As such, we found ourselves beset by a bevy of bats. o3o; Well, two of them.

02:56 <Cepheid> So, I was meant to do that without being seen. Alas, I screwed up a tad. On the upside, no one was left alive to say I was there.
02:56 <Schism> Yes... nobody will ever know you were there.
02:59 <Cepheid> Well, they won't know it was *ME*
03:00 <Cepheid> See, the important thing is that they don't know it was me.

10:17 <LunaticHell> goooooooooooooooood morning, equestria
10:17 <ConfusionRift> Hallo! It's been a while.
10:17 <LunaticHell> it certainly has
10:18 <ConfusionRift> How's it been?
10:18 <LunaticHell> In the meantime I took and failed a programmer course, 2 years mostly wasted
10:19 <LunaticHell> at least I now can code in a few languages
10:19 <LunaticHell> especially c#, though
10:20 <ConfusionRift> Nice.
10:21 <ConfusionRift> Still, kinda hurts failing a course.
10:22 <LunaticHell> Yeah, especially since I basically won't find a job as programmer without it.
10:22 <LunaticHell> In Germany we call those "Ausbildung" (which roughly translates to "job training")
10:24 <ConfusionRift> In here, they're are looking for those and some certification.
10:26 <LunaticHell> Here's the major difference between the US and Germany
10:27 <LunaticHell> In Germany it's hard to get a job, but also hard to lose it. In the US both are easy.
10:27 *** Quits: Persona (Tilde@Pony-acq1vl.dgbc.9fgu.6000.2605.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
10:27 <LunaticHell> easier than here in Germany, that is.
10:27 <ConfusionRift> Eeeerm... not always.
10:27 <ConfusionRift> Oh, right.
10:28 <LunaticHell> Yeah, I realize that it's not always easy, so I made a qualifier.
10:29 <LunaticHell> Especially when talking about the kind of job that you can use to make a living.
10:29 <LunaticHell> I'm sure there is enough jobs in the US that pay less than that.
10:30 <LunaticHell> Then again, not every job is meant to offer enough for a living.
10:30 <ConfusionRift> "A living" is getting expensive as well.
10:32 <ConfusionRift> It's getting harder to find a place to stay, more so at some of the minimum that most places offer.
10:32 <LunaticHell> It seems that way, doesn't it?
10:34 <ConfusionRift> Well, I know that where I live at the moment, due to the influx of people moving in, land value has gone up substantially.
10:34 <ConfusionRift> There are cheaper places out there, but they're far away from work. I also don't have a car.
10:36 * DashedRainbows sniffs ConfusionRift and licks him lots
10:37 <LunaticHell> oh hi Dainbow Rash
10:37 <DashedRainbows> Yo
10:37 <LunaticHell> Sup?
10:38 <LunaticHell> @Confu Oh, new neighbors?
10:38 <DashedRainbows> Sleeping, I'm just awake now
10:38 * ConfusionRift pets DashedRainbows. :P
10:38 <LunaticHell> have a cup c(_)
10:40 <LunaticHell> By the by, recently I've started watching clips of Jonathan Pie
10:41 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
10:44 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, seems very politics oriented.
10:45 <LunaticHell> British comedian pretending to be a reporter, very political but very much like that George Carlin guy.
10:45 <LunaticHell> Or so I heard. o. o
10:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> LunaticHell: YOU
10:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> What brought you to this of all places? :3
10:47 <ConfusionRift> Maybe the pony got lost on the way here?
10:47 <ConfusionRift> :P
10:48 <LunaticHell> Well, the thing is I'm usually having a hard time to stick to a thing.
10:48 * Lumindia yawns, rolls into GlimGlam's side
10:48 * Lumindia looks up, "Oh hi there,"
10:48 <LunaticHell> I'm on 75ish discord servers and visit - regulary - none.
10:49 <Starlight_Glimmer> I get that. Discord sucks after all, but good old IRC!
10:49 <LunaticHell> It's Real Classy :P
10:49 <Starlight_Glimmer> This is how you do IRC: You setup a bouncer and forget about
10:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> it
10:50 <LunaticHell> Oh yeah, I got something fun, yesterday
10:50 * Starlight_Glimmer has infrastructure as a service phobia
10:52 <LunaticHell> Some stuff called, and excuse my sad excuse of translation, "head gear oil"
10:52 <LunaticHell> ...it's "Kopfgetriebeöl"
10:53 <LunaticHell> It's to make the gears in your head spin better. o. o
10:53 <LunaticHell> ...it's motor oil themed liquor.
10:53 <ConfusionRift> Oh. hehehe.
10:54 <ConfusionRift> "95% ethanol." Yep, definitely engine themed. :P
10:55 <LunaticHell> Oh yeah, important to mention, it says "Free of gluten, vegan, without colors, not tested on animals"
10:55 <ConfusionRift> Pfffttt!
10:56 <ConfusionRift> Wait, this thing?! http://www.scandmarkt.com/WebRoot/Store23/Shops/82481787/5A26/C7EC/5EB1/34E3/2E45/0A0C/6D04/2444/201610-t16-vorne_1.jpg
10:56 <LunaticHell> Apperently made of walnut extract, caramell and...tonka bean?
10:56 <LunaticHell> Yeah, that.
10:57 <LunaticHell> Wait, it exists in cranberry, too?
10:57 <ConfusionRift> Tonka beans... now it sounds like they grounded up some old Tonka toys and added the shavings to the drink.
10:57 <ConfusionRift> Seems so.
10:58 <LunaticHell> Oh shredding tonka toys and adding the shaving to the drink is tight.
10:58 <LunaticHell> With 30% vol it's also 5% lower than my ol' Jaegermeister.
10:58 * Lumindia snuggles GlimGlam!
10:59 <LunaticHell> Also I learned how to propperly chill whiskey without ice cubes.
11:01 <LunaticHell> Option 1: freeze the glass, option 2: use cold rocks option 3: put a spoon in the freezer till it's cold and lightly stir the whiskey with it
11:03 <ConfusionRift> So you got three cold options to avoid just one. :P
11:03 <LunaticHell> and if you think option 2 was a joke

11:03 <LunaticHell> Not a joke.
11:03 <ConfusionRift> I know, I know. Water dilutes it.
11:04 <LunaticHell> I bet Maud would make a killer joke about it.
11:04 <LunaticHell> Why? Because she gran it.
11:04 <ConfusionRift> Also, yeah, familiar with the rocks for whiskey.
11:05 <ConfusionRift> Oh wow, haven't done this in a while. Gimme a sec... (practice for a bit) Okay, and... booooooooo, hiiiiiiisssss!

14:07 <LunaticHell> here is a very important tip
14:07 <LunaticHell> make sure to stock on for crystals
14:08 * Schism noddles then. o3o
14:08 <LunaticHell> Best plant crystal trees, about 4 to 5 should do the trick
14:09 <Lumindia> finally got my damn Titania weapon
14:09 <LunaticHell> hi Lum

14:09 * Lumindia cackles in Red Mage
14:09 <Schism> Congrats, Lumi. o3o
14:09 <Schism> Did you get it via a drop, or via totems?
14:09 <Lumindia> totems

14:19 <Jackie> I think I heard the name LunaticHell before
14:19 <Cepheid> Well, I've been awake for 30 minutes. Just I finished breakfast and coffee.
14:19 <LunaticHell> hey

14:21 * Jackie pets Bread
14:23 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/catsofinstagram/status/1165259996575068161 Huh.
14:24 <Cepheid> That black cat, though. Gets one claw on the ceiling post carpet, and manages to pull itself up.
14:26 <Schism> That cat room...
14:27 <Cepheid> That is an excellent way to keep the cats busy indoors.
14:27 <Cepheid> It's not like the outdoors still, but it certainly gives them more to do.
14:27 <Cepheid> Add in a specially-designed, small drone.
14:28 <Jackie> Jackie vs Panne would be the poop
14:28 <Jackie> Cookies vs fries
14:30 <Cepheid> Right, with formaldehydes accessible, I'm just gonna go "Eff it" and spoil the armor and weapons listings.
14:31 <Cepheid> Hmm.
14:31 <Cepheid> I *SHOULD* have access to th- Oh, wait, that's probably her rare drop.
14:32 <Cepheid> As for Dreamer's armor, that's gonna be a bit tricky to get.
14:33 <Cepheid> Looks like I got Ali's best body armor already.
14:33 <Cepheid> Schism, you're not gonna like this. Hildebrand is not the best shield in the game. There's one level higher.
14:34 <Cepheid> I get the strong impression this armor list might be incomplete.
14:34 <Schism> Hah, and?
14:35 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's just the generically labeled Ocean Shield.
14:35 <Schism> Aw, that's a shame.
14:35 <Cepheid> It's stronger by all of +3 defense, and boosts luck.
14:35 <Schism> Well, +luck IS important.
14:36 <Cepheid> Not on a hoplite or that other class I can't remember the name to.
14:36 <Cepheid> Luck is primarily used for inflicting critical hits and status ailments.
14:38 <Cepheid> That said, once I finally get around to doing the final boss, I'll likely want Dreamer equipped like a tank, made out of an uncountable number of atomic-sized smaller tanks, in a tank-shaped structure as opposed to crystaline.
14:39 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, Ali's gonna be equipped with armor that makes her no stronger than a piece of fly paper.
14:39 <Cepheid> As not only is Cloth armor weak, but I need to equip her with the best gear for boosting TEC. Unless I stock up on formaldehydes and farm Intelligence Books.
14:40 <Cepheid> You know what would help? If I made use of Limit Breaks.
14:41 <Cepheid> I've only used them in a select few places. I don't use them because every time I re-arrange the party, I have to set the limits back up.
14:41 <Schism> Something I guess they fixed a bit in later games.
14:41 <Cepheid> They replaced limit breaks with class-associated "force" and "break" skills.
14:42 * Schism nodnods.
14:42 <Cepheid> EOV actually used limit breaks of a sort, only they weren't configurable. They were specific to the class and character, and used multiple party members.
14:42 <Cepheid> Like Limits do.
14:43 <Cepheid> In EO3.
14:43 <Cepheid> EON, meanwhile, uses Force and Break. These are two class-specific abilities that can be used after the Force bar is filled. The former is usually some class-specific ability that affects the character.
14:43 <Cepheid> The latter is usually line or party-affecting.
14:44 <Cepheid> Of course, there's a cost. If you use a Break ability, you lose the ability to use Force or Break until the next Rest.
14:46 <Cepheid> At least that time I got Atrocity Sighs off of both the FOEs. Last run, I got none. =.=;
14:46 <Cepheid> So that's two more Formaldehydes to use.
14:48 <Cepheid> That'll be enough for two of the Monk armors.
14:49 <Cepheid> So, I have the best gauntlets, best footwear, just need shield and head pieces, then just everyone's best body armor. Ali again, is a special case, so let's see what works for her.
14:49 <Cepheid> I also need to run an experiment on her.
14:51 <Cepheid> Hum, interesting.
14:51 <Bread> Been a long morning.
14:51 <Cepheid> The best sword in the game is by far not the best sword.
14:51 <Cepheid> There's the Dragon Blade, obtained by another superboss. That's the "strongest" in terms of raw attack power.
14:52 <Cepheid> But just beneath that is the Dragonbane, which requires a drop from all 3 dragons.
14:52 <Cepheid> Dragon Blade: +189 ATK, 3 HP forges, 3 TP forges. Dragonbane: +181 ATK, 8 free forge slots to use for whatever you want.
14:52 <Cepheid> Of course, those slots probably require killing all 3 dragons EIGHT TIMES to fill.

14:55 <Cepheid> How did I unlock this?
14:55 <Cepheid> Oh, ammonite. I misread that as anemone.
14:55 <Cepheid> So it looks like the best weapon is obtained by killing Golem.
14:56 <Cepheid> And it's conditional is..
14:56 <Cepheid> ... Seriously?
14:56 * Cepheid stuffs inventory with Blind Gas.
14:57 <Cepheid> Oh, that's nice.
14:57 <Schism> Well, I mean, you've blinded an egg. A golem is hardly much more difficult.
14:57 <Cepheid> I got a Limit skill that, if it kills the target, will make it drop all items.
14:58 <Schism> Oho. Mug.
14:59 <Cepheid> *Ali snaps her fingers. The Golem takes 2,816 damage.*
14:59 <Cepheid> Annoying fact of the golem. It always regenerates half it's health on it's first death.
15:00 <Cepheid> Well that was easily obtained.
15:00 <Cepheid> Just used a single round of blind gasses, blinded the golem, then had Ali obliterate it.

15:02 <Cepheid> Heh. :P
15:02 * Ali releases the Kraken onto Cepheid
15:02 <Cepheid> Yes yes, I'll go find that today.
15:02 <Cepheid> *AFTER* I get you your best weapon.
15:03 <Cepheid> Well, in terms of raw attack.
15:03 <Ali> *FF fanfare*
15:03 <Schism> Hmm. Hit village zombie with splash potion of weakness, and wait 5 real life minutes, and it will turn into a villager.
15:03 <Schism> Oh, and feed it a golden apple.
15:03 <Ali> Schism, you have to feed it a golden apple if I remember right
15:03 * Ali puts a block of TNT on Schism
15:04 <Schism> This seems rather an extensive process.
15:04 <Ali> Its quite silly
15:04 <Ali> As finding a zombie villager seems rare enough
15:04 <Ali> And most of the time if you do find one, you don't have the transforming items on hand
15:05 * Schism nods. "Or you're nowhere near the village you want to build."
15:05 * Schism ex nihilos at Ali.
15:05 <Cepheid> On one hand, I don't like having to hit "A" 120 times, while watching out for the occasional "You feel there's a chance..." risky menu option, but...
15:05 <Cepheid> Compared to the later game's harvesting setup, it's more profitable.
15:06 <Cepheid> Especially when returns are anywhere from 200,000 to 300,000 from the sixth stratum.
15:07 * Schism claps at Valve. "Well done! Ban the guy reporting a privilege escalation, ignoring the bug itself."
15:08 <Ali> Eh?
15:08 <Cepheid> It's a grey area, dealing with exploit bugs.
15:08 <Cepheid> A person can report the exploit/bug, but the problem is, in doing so, they abuse it.
15:08 <Cepheid> So what do you do, in that case?
15:08 <Schism> Valve offers a bounty to anyone who finds exploits in Steam, so long as they don't abuse it for anything beyond verification.
15:08 <Cepheid> Therein lies the problem.
15:08 <Cepheid> The player probably abused it.
15:08 <Schism> And so long as they report it promptly.
15:09 <Ali> Like the can of soda thing for the steam summer sale?
15:09 <Cepheid> It's a grey area in who to trust, as well.
15:09 <Ali> That was abused all over steam
15:09 <Schism> Er... this is less with the Steam store, and more an escalation of privilege which would allow Steam apps to install malware surreptitiously.
15:09 <Cepheid> Ah, that... yeah.
15:09 <Cepheid> That's a bit bigger of an issue.
15:09 <Cepheid> That wouldn't warrant a ban, unless they used it.
15:10 <Schism> And this researcher did not.
15:10 <Cepheid> Then it's likely an overzealous person not following rules and regulations regarding such cases.
15:10 <Schism> The hacker was banned after a falling out between himself and Valve, at which point he posted the escalation bug (which Valve had dismissed as minor) publicly.
15:10 <Cepheid> Ooooh.
15:11 <Schism> Valve refused to cough up the bounty, you see.
15:11 <Schism> https://www.pcgamesn.com/valve/steam-security-flaw-escalation
15:11 <Cepheid> Did he try escalating it to someone higher?
15:11 <Cepheid> There's always someone you can escalate it to further, and then up to Gabe himself.
15:12 *** Quits: Toast (SCP-3764-1@Pony-ape.jp4.58.73.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
15:12 <Cepheid> The problem is that at every step of the way up the chain, you're dealing with human beings.
15:12 <Schism> Aye.
15:13 <Cepheid> And given that the prime goal of a company is to make money, not lose it, some folks take it too zealously. This is especially true if their background used to be in say, marketing or something.
15:13 <Schism> '"Since Valve decided to read a public report instead of private report one more time, I won’t take that pleasure away from them," Kravets quipped.'
15:14 <Schism> Cepheid: He attempted to escalate the issue, which he felt was definitely a huge concern, but was blocked at every turn.
15:14 <Cepheid> I'm on the wall here. Somewhere in the process on Valve's side, people weren't listening to the rules.
15:14 <Cepheid> On the other hand, revealing an exploit to the public is a risky move.
15:14 <Cepheid> It certainly worked this time, but it doesn't always
15:15 <Schism> No, I know. But if the ticket is killfiled as N/A, then what else could one do but force Valve's hand?
15:15 <Cepheid> Directly e-mail Gabe, presumably.
15:15 <Cepheid> Pretty sure he has his e-mail available to the public somewhere.
15:15 <Cepheid> It's nice to go through the official channels, but if the official channels aren't working, you use the unofficial ones. Work around the system.
15:16 <Cepheid> In this case, telling Gabe that there is a system in place for X, but the people beneath him are not following the rules, would probably get him to get off his ass and do something. If that fails, then yeah, I'd take it to the public then.
15:17 <Schism> There's another concern there, in that an exploit is, by its very nature, a ticking bomb.
15:17 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
15:17 <Schism> By the time the higher-up reads the e-mail, it may already be too late anyway.
15:17 <Cepheid> I won't lie, my logic probably has holes in it, and isn't the best approach, but I am trying to look at this from a purely logical perspective. Which isn't always right.
15:18 <Cepheid> On Valve's side, I see it this way: It's a company. Goal #1 of any company, and I do mean *ANY* company, including small mom-and-pop shops, is profits.
15:18 *** Quits: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-13k.tl5.105.130.IP) (Connection closed)

15:19 <Cepheid> Not when the people you're face-to-face with aren't programmers.
15:19 <Schism> I know, I know.
15:19 <Cepheid> The front-facing individuals we deal with are not the developers themselves. They're "community managers"
15:19 <Cepheid> As in, they deal with the social aspects of the company, interacting with the public.
15:19 <Cepheid> But unless they have an understanding of what is, and isn't a problem, they're useless for these kinds of cases.
15:20 <Cepheid> And throwing programmers into the fray won't solve it.
15:20 <Cepheid> Programmers are some of the most anal people you'll ever meet.
15:21 <Cepheid> It comes with the territory. We have to be confident in order to do our jobs, as it's extremely taxing and tiring on the brain and body.
15:21 <Ali> My face when I think 250 miners are enough and end up with only 60 left over
15:21 <Cepheid> It doesn't look like much, but I've found myself feeling like I've run a marathon after 12-14 hours of coding.
15:21 <Cepheid> So what usually ends up happening is that if you report a bug to a developer, they're going to be confrontational about it.
15:21 <Cepheid> Ask any gamedev tester.
15:22 <Cepheid> Some are better at handling it than others, and we're also trying to change the mentality slowly, but the long of it is that programmers will not initially trust your testers about bugs, so why would they trust someone from the public?
15:22 <Cepheid> That's why we're not at the front.
15:24 <Cepheid> Wisdom Earrings boost TEC by 5..
15:24 <Cepheid> And the Armoroad and Deep City Emblems increase all stats by 5.
15:24 <Cepheid> While increasing HP by 100 and TP by 100 respectively.
15:25 * Cepheid puts the Origin Tablet, Deep City Medal, Armoroad Emblem and Wisdom Earrings on Ali.
15:25 <Cepheid> 93 TEC. All for the low, low cost of absolutely no armor.
15:27 * Cepheid saves. Wants to test something.

15:30 <Ali> Cepheid, if you ask why a cat does something
15:30 <Schism> Because cat.
15:30 <Ali> ^
15:30 <Cepheid> Yes, yes.
15:30 * Cepheid does some analysis.
15:30 <Cepheid> So, I have Ali Rested, level 65. Minimum requirements for Fire Star to be cast.
15:30 <Cepheid> I'm gonna calculate the strengths of all the boosts.
15:31 <Cepheid> I also want to determine if the Binary skills are more powerful.
15:31 * Ali speaks in zeroes and ones
15:32 <Cepheid> Heh. :P
15:32 <Cepheid> Apparently, Zodiacs use the power of astrology to cast their magic.
15:32 <Cepheid> Rank 1, average of 251 damage at 90 tec.
15:32 <Cepheid> Did I say 90? I meant 69. I forget Resting removes all equipment. o3o
15:33 *** Quits: Hat (Hat@Pony-ujoogi.exetel.com.au) (Client exited)
15:33 * DashedRainbows chews on Ali's hooves
15:33 <Cepheid> Just gotta make sure I DO NOT SAVE while testing this stuff.
15:35 <Cepheid> Rank 2 increased the damage by approximately 10%.
15:38 <Cepheid> I see a recurring pattern.
15:38 <Cepheid> Each level adds 10% of the base damage of the spell to the total damage.
15:39 <Cepheid> Thus, at ~250 base damage, every level will add 25 damage to that.
15:39 <Cepheid> At level 10, that should be ~500.
15:39 <Cepheid> Exactly on the dot.
15:40 * Ali is almost done with her gears factory set up
15:40 <Cepheid> Now then, what does FIRE Mastery do for boosting?
15:42 *** Joins: Toast (SCP-3764-1@Pony-9k7pej.k7dv.isrq.0846.2601.IP)
15:42 <Cepheid> Geezus.
15:42 <Cepheid> Elemental mastery skills are not worth the investment.
15:42 <Cepheid> I'm seeing a total increase of 1% between levels.
15:44 <Cepheid> I maxed it out. From base damage, the total increase was 8.4%.
15:44 * Cepheid gets a few more numbers to get a better approximate increase.
15:44 <Schism> Yeesh. An increase, but not a huge one, to be sure.
15:45 <Cepheid> The only usefulness Fire Mastery has is in unlocking skills, as a result.
15:45 * Ali plays around with Schism legholes
15:45 <Cepheid> Yeah, 8.4%
15:45 <Cepheid> Next up, effects of Ether Mastery.

15:48 * Schism offers the Ali a slice of spinach, mozzarella, garlic, mushroom, and roasted tomato pizza on a thin crust.
15:50 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, Ether Mastery 1 increased damage by... 3.5%, or 19 points from the base of 542. From the absolute base of Fire Star, 250, 0.75%
15:50 <Cepheid> No, wait.
15:51 <Cepheid> 7.5%
15:54 <Cepheid> Pattern suggests each level is 7.5% of the base spell damage.
15:55 <Cepheid> ... Bah, I'm gonna restart Etheric Mastery.
15:57 <Cepheid> I should also use this chance to test the effectiveness of the defense stat against the monster's attack stat.
15:57 <Schism> Koopz: While the Guido is good, you should also find yourself with one of these. https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Tiny_Tortoise_(Minion)
16:00 <Cepheid> Etheric Mastery seems to have an increase in variance. I hit as high as 260, but as low as 256, for a 6-point range. Without it, the damage was 249 to 251 maximum, for 3 points of difference.
16:01 <Ali> Well, Gear production has started, just need to get it to the train, then steel
16:01 <Ali> Which is going to be a pain, cause of the 1/5 rate
16:05 <Cepheid> Heh.
16:06 <Cepheid> Hmm. I'm gonna hedge on 2.5% of the base damage per level.
16:06 <Cepheid> So at max level, etheric mastery should increase damage by 25% of the base.
16:06 <Cepheid> Which means I should be seeing around... 312.5
16:07 <Cepheid> Might be closer to 2% per level, so it's either 312.5, or 300.
16:09 <Cepheid> Nine samples, summed, averaged. 313.66 repeating.
16:10 <Cepheid> So 2.5% per level.
16:12 <Cepheid> Aaaand it's not based on the base damage of the spell.
16:12 <Cepheid> It's based on the final damage of the spell, so for example at level 1, Fire Star is increased to 312.5, which is 250 * 1.25.
16:13 <Cepheid> Fire Star at max level, it's 625, or 500 * 1.25
16:13 <Cepheid> So Etheric Mastery is worth the cost.
16:13 <Cepheid> Next, gonna test Fire Mastery from the base damage of 250.
16:13 <Cepheid> Just to confirm results.
16:19 <Cepheid> Yeah, mastery skills add 1% per level.
16:20 <Cepheid> And of the base damage of the spell.
16:20 <Cepheid> They're the least effective of the boosts.
16:21 <Cepheid> Next up, Fire Mastery 5 + 250 base, so I have a comparison for binary star.
16:24 <Cepheid> Hmm.
16:25 <Cepheid> Binary Fire Star is the attack-all fire spell. At level 1, it does less damage to single-targets than the single-target spells.
16:26 <Cepheid> Not by much, though.
16:26 <Cepheid> 75% of the strength.
16:26 * LunaticHell pokes Cepheid

16:27 <LunaticHell> Well I got drunk today
16:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
16:28 <Cepheid> I haven't gotten drunk in a long while, to be honest.
16:28 <Cepheid> Mostly because I don't want to deal with the headaches.
16:28 <LunaticHell> Good point.
16:28 <LunaticHell> My nightmares are my reason.
16:28 <Cepheid> Both the hangovers and the sinuses.
16:28 * Ali doesn't drink at all
16:28 <Cepheid> For some reason, as of late, alcohol has been causing my sinuses to go whack.
16:28 <LunaticHell> My nightmare taught me a thing, I tell you.
16:29 <Cepheid> I think if I'm gonna switch to something to make me loopy, I'll switch to weed. The effects are supposed to help with pain, so..
16:29 <LunaticHell> What does it sound when a dozen set of teeth tear your flesh apart
16:29 <LunaticHell> It ow
16:30 <LunaticHell> It hurts to remember
16:30 <Cepheid> Fun, fun. Those kinds of nightmares are the worst.
16:31 <Cepheid> Oh... Oh no.
16:31 <Cepheid> I just hit "Save Game". x.x;
16:31 <LunaticHell> *deep inhale*
16:31 <Cepheid> I knew I should have backed up the save. Ah well.
16:31 <Cepheid> There are worse things that can happen.
16:32 <LunaticHell> Well, I did find out how much my flesh resists teeth.
16:32 <Cepheid> Don't want to know.
16:32 <LunaticHell> Pain that follows me into real life, it turns out.
16:32 <Schism> Zombie, zombie, zombie.
16:32 <LunaticHell> Wake up in pain where nothing hurt you.

16:34 <Cepheid> Starts at 75% of base damage of level 1 Fire Star, increases by 5% per level.
16:34 <Cepheid> Where for Fire Star, it's 10% per level.
16:35 <Cepheid> I need to go check something now.

16:39 <Cepheid> Yep.
16:40 <Cepheid> Also, the reason I consider the music interesting is because... There's one boss track I haven't heard. Lumindia's familiar with it.
16:41 * Cepheid tests the strength of the Meteor spell.

16:42 <Cepheid> ~220 at level 1.
16:42 <Cepheid> Hard to actually estimate, since it does multiple hits, and the number of hits is random. Two variables.
16:43 <Ali> Well steel is almost done
16:45 <Cepheid> At a minimum, Ali needs Fire, Ice, Volt mastery at level 1 to get access to the elemental spells. 3 Points. Each of which needs to be level 10. 30 Points. Etheric Mastery maxed. 10 Points. Dark Ether maxed. 5 Points. Etheric Charge maxed. 5 Points. Singularity maxed. 5 Points.
16:46 <Cepheid> Add in TP Up Max, 10 points. If I want Meteor, I need Horoscope 5 and Etheric Return 3. Meteor has 10 levels. Acts as a good non-elemental spell.
16:46 <Cepheid> So...
16:47 * Ali will rock the world
16:47 <Cepheid> 3 + 30 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 10 + 5 + 3 + 10 = 3 + 40 + 15 + 15 + 13 = 43 + 30 + 13 = 73 + 13 = 76 + 10 = 86.
16:47 <Cepheid> I need 86 skill points to make Ali the best at what she does.
16:48 <Cepheid> And since there's leftover, I can add in HP Up 10.
16:48 <Cepheid> To be at her absolute best, she also needs 99 TEC, which at the moment, can only be achieved through books. I need to unlock level 80 or 90 at a minimum.
16:49 <Cepheid> For the moment, I got her built to kill Alraune, one of the game-specific superbosses.
16:50 <Cepheid> Also thus far proven to be the easiest of the bosses to kill, given what I've seen.
16:52 <Cepheid> Gotta say though, Meteor is more of a "Rocks fall everyone dies" spell than the Rockfall skill in EOV, which just... dropped a massive boulder on the enemy party.
16:53 <Ali> You rock whohoo
16:53 * Ali screwed that up
16:53 <Cepheid> Given Ali's shyness and such, I wonder how she'd be as a mage with overwhelming power.
16:54 * Ali ponyshrugs
16:54 <Cepheid> Probably fine, given you'd be surrounded and protected by stalwart allies who- Oh, wait, Cepheid just died.
16:54 <Cepheid> Speaking of death, farmers have a way to resurrect characters.
16:55 <Cepheid> It's called "Slap Awake"
16:55 <Cepheid> I can see it now. "WAKE UP!" *Slap Slap Slap!* "Wake up soldier! WAKE UP!"
16:55 <Cepheid> Or the whole "Live damn you, LIIIIIIVE!" and hitting their chest repeatedly.
16:56 <Ali> Hmm, is a 40/30 furnace rate decent for starting with steel Cepheid?
16:57 <Cepheid> For making sure everything's fed?
16:57 <Cepheid> What kind of furnaces we using?
16:58 <Ali> Electric
16:59 <Cepheid> Modules?
16:59 <Ali> What are those? *slapped*
16:59 <Cepheid> Coulda just said "No" instead of insulting yourself.
16:59 <Ali> I'm heavily reworking the factory so those aren't installed yet
17:00 <Ali> I 'could' use speed modules since I have a nuke plant, but I really need them controlled by a small logic system to not zrt out of power randomly
17:00 <Cepheid> To get 1 steel a second, it looks like you need 8 furnaces making iron plates to feed 1 furnace making steel.
17:00 <Cepheid> So the ratio is 8:1
17:00 <Ali> Yikes
17:00 <Ali> I was looking at the crafting rate
17:00 <Cepheid> With 70 furnaces on hand..
17:01 <Ali> Iron plates are made at 3.2 while steel is 16
17:01 <Cepheid> Oh, wait. I misread this.
17:01 <Ali> Which is ironically a 1:1 rate
17:01 <Ali> Yeah its 40 iron 30 steel
17:02 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm looking at this from a different perspective which is skewing things.
17:02 <Cepheid> It's 5 iron plates per steel, right?
17:02 <Ali> Yes
17:02 <Ali> And the craft rates are listed above
17:03 <Ali> One can make 5 plates in the same time 1 steel is made
17:03 <Cepheid> And an electric furnace produces 0.625 iron/sec, and it takes... 8 seconds to produce one steel, using a regular electric furnace.
17:04 <Ali> You sure that's right for an unmodified furnace
17:04 <Ali> It has a crafting rate of 1 after all
17:04 <Cepheid> Produces 0.125 steel/sec, so that's 8 seconds.
17:04 <Cepheid> 1 / 0.125 = 8
17:04 <Ali> Oh its crafting speed 2
17:05 * Ali derps hard
17:05 <Cepheid> 1.6 seconds for an iron plate.
17:05 <Cepheid> So in 8 seconds, 5 iron would be produced.
17:05 <Cepheid> So yeah, 1:1
17:05 <Ali> Still the same rate
17:06 <Ali> So every 8 seconds I'm making 30 steel
17:06 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
17:07 <Cepheid> Right then.
17:07 <Ali> Which is a rough 3.7
17:07 <Ali> a second
17:07 <Cepheid> I don't remember the entire Alraune battle, but let's see if I can wing it.
17:07 <Ali> Not the greatest rate but it'll do while I try to fix the base.
17:07 <Ali> My biggest issue is the oil influanced items
17:08 <Cepheid> Andrew, when you go to fight a superboss, make sure you switch back to the right team.
17:08 <Ali> Still not looking forward to purple circuits
17:08 <Ali> WHoops
17:08 <Cepheid> I almost fought her with a bunch of farmers.
17:08 <Cepheid> That'd be one weed they can't deal with.
17:08 <Ali> WAKE UP
17:08 <Ali> WAKE UP
17:09 <Cepheid> Heh.
17:09 <Cepheid> Basically, it'd be a bunch of screaming, people running around, and slapping one another. Assuming she doesn't use a party-wide attack.
17:10 <Ali> Or just IDS's the party due to weak defense
17:10 <Cepheid> Basically yeah.
17:10 <Cepheid> That's what would happen.
17:11 <Cepheid> She deals an average of 41 damage to Dreamer, and hits him for like, 6 to 8 times.
17:11 <Cepheid> He takes the vines to the face quite well.
17:12 * Ali takes notes that Dreamer likes to get *yay*slapped by plants
17:13 <Ali> So I now need to 'fix' the current copper mine to turn into a copper plate plant
17:13 <Cepheid> Alas, first attempt failed. She has a skill that applies party-wide ailments, any mixture.
17:13 <Ali> Someone got stoned
17:13 <Cepheid> So, Schism goes to back row, with Rock Amulet and Confusion Amulet.
17:14 <Ali> Man I never thought a full factory rebuild would take this long
17:15 <Cepheid> Ye know, I probably could have saved that attempt.
17:15 <Cepheid> I forgot I brought healing items. o3o
17:16 <ADragonDreaming> It always takes longer than you thing.
17:16 <Ali> Well when it involves tons of train set up it does huh?
17:17 <Cepheid> Also, Dreamer and Ali are MVP. Ali's the one doing all the damage at 2,000 damage per hit.
17:18 <ADragonDreaming> EO3 still?
17:19 <Cepheid> Yep
17:21 <Cepheid> Bah, that ailment skill is overwhelming.
17:22 * Ali gets confused, attacks the party with meteor
17:22 <Cepheid> Fortunately, characters cannot use skills or spells when confused.
17:23 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.)
17:24 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-0gbng9.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)
17:25 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, this is gonna require an expensive tactic. Until I get some more levels, anyways.
17:25 <Cepheid> To ensure survival, Schism has to use Party Heal every turn, unless status ailments are involved.
17:26 <Cepheid> That, or have Cepheid alternate between both rows with Protect Order, to provide end-of-turn healing *AFTER* she goes first every bloody turn.
17:29 <Cepheid> Change of tactics again..
17:30 <Cepheid> It's like a wall, basically. You're max level at 70, which is just *BARELY* enough to handle a boss.
17:34 <Cepheid> I'm basically using Protect Order for healing, and I have Schism casting Refresh every turn, while Ali alternates between Etheric Charge and Fire Star to deal 2000 damage every 2 turns, for an average of 1000/turn.
17:39 * Schism throws 10 candies on the ground.
17:40 <Cepheid> It'd help if she stopped spamming an attack that causes stun.
17:43 <LunaticHell> hey o. o
17:44 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
17:44 * Schism throws 10 more candies on the ground. Also, boops Lunatic!
17:45 <Cepheid> So far..
17:45 <Cepheid> She's at 55% or so.
17:45 <LunaticHell> Derp 6. 9
17:45 <Cepheid> Aaand she killed us all again.
17:46 <LunaticHell> I did play that one gam
17:46 <LunaticHell> e
17:46 <Schism> Which one, again?
17:46 <Cepheid> Oh gods.
17:46 <LunaticHell> Labyrinth of Refrain: Covenant of Dusk
17:46 <Cepheid> I recovered.
17:46 <LunaticHell> Then a big girl attacked me with her milk press
17:47 <Cepheid> I need to do that game, myself.
17:47 <LunaticHell> It is a good game.
17:47 <LunaticHell> except that girl may not be a dutchess at al
17:47 <Cepheid> 40%.
17:47 <LunaticHell> at all*
17:48 <LunaticHell> well the "grand" in "grand dutchess" is correct
17:48 <LunaticHell> larger than life
17:48 <Schism> Ali: Minecraft now has bees.
17:48 <Ali> Base minecraft has bees?
17:48 <Cepheid> <25%
17:49 <LunaticHell> My nightmares D:
17:49 <LunaticHell> I dreamt of giant bees last night
17:49 <Ali> Cause Bees has been a mod since forever
17:49 <Schism> Yes, on the newest snapshot.
17:49 <LunaticHell> Also hi ali
17:49 * Ali wavies
17:49 <LunaticHell> I was punching giant bees with my fist in my dreams
17:49 <LunaticHell> it was scary
17:49 <Ali> Though what do bees do in vanilla Schism?
17:50 <LunaticHell> as in real life
17:50 <LunaticHell> bees do evil
17:50 * Ali pours honey onto LunaticHell
17:50 <Schism> I guess honey, flowers, et cetera?
17:50 <Cepheid> I... am.... NOT.... GOING... TO LOSE!
17:50 <LunaticHell> gasp D:
17:51 <LunaticHell> I feel sticky
17:51 <LunaticHell> Not as bad as my previous nightmare, to be fair
17:52 <Cepheid> Take... THAT!
17:52 * Cepheid burns the Alraune to the ground.
17:53 <Cepheid> ...
17:53 * Cepheid curses and swears.
17:54 <Cepheid> Guess what it doesn't unlock?
17:54 *** Quits: lunanightwindphone (lunanightwi@Pony-jkdk05.o55u.j4eu.0191.2601.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
17:54 <Schism> Anything?
17:55 <Cepheid> Oh, it unlocked something. The best configurable weapon for Zodiacs.
17:55 <Cepheid> But all I got was 247,000 EXP, 100,000en, and another 95,000 EXP from finishing the request. No level limit removal.
17:55 <Cepheid> That's restricted to the dragons.
17:56 <Cepheid> Scarlet Sage is... take, stratum 3.
17:57 *** Joins: lunanightwindphone (lunanightwi@Pony-jkdk05.o55u.j4eu.0191.2601.IP)
18:00 <Cepheid> At this point, I feel like I should make Nighty into something else. Farmer's losing it's edge now that I'm so far in the game, and it'd be nice to have more than one critical-damage-dealing character.
18:01 <Cepheid> Plus the whole "Stats are so low they can't really do much."
18:01 <Cepheid> Frost Dragon is on... 18, right.
18:04 <Cepheid> Aaand it destroyed us on the first turn.
18:07 <Cepheid> ...
18:07 <Cepheid> What. What do you mean the Ice-themed dragon is not weak to fire!?
18:11 <Cepheid> Let's see about the Thunder Dragon then.
18:15 * Schism grows 100 lollipops a second. This is a good start.
18:18 <Cepheid> Volt Dragon's weak to fire. Uses paralysis special. Not as bad as stun, as it can be healed through potentially. Also uses Curse, and heals when it inflicts curse.
18:21 <Cepheid> So far...
18:21 <Cepheid> For someone who's not at all prepared for this, I'm doing well.
18:22 <Cepheid> It's down to about 65%.
18:22 <Cepheid> Watch me miraculously pull this off.
18:24 <Cepheid> I actually screwed up, forgot about Voltage(It fires every 5th turn), and I still managed to recover, and am beating this dragon into paste.
18:24 <Cepheid> It's less than 50%.
18:27 <Cepheid> ...
18:27 <Cepheid> Really, game?
18:30 <Cepheid> Not gonna let you win, Dragon. I demand your corpse hung up on my wall!
18:31 <Ali> Hmm, so now I need to think of how am I going to base layout with most items being fed from outside the factory
18:32 <Ali> On site is still iron and coal
18:32 <Cepheid> <25%
18:32 <Ali> Though coal has greatly reduced needs now
18:32 <Ali> Coal has what? 2-3 uses besides being an early game fuel?
18:34 <Ali> Grenades and Sulfer are all I can come up with.
18:35 * Cepheid jaw drops.
18:35 <Cepheid> I killed it in the FIRST TRY.
18:36 <Schism> A level-uncapping boss?
18:36 <Cepheid> yeah.
18:36 <Cepheid> Level 80 unlocked!
18:36 <Schism> Impressive! o3o
18:36 <Cepheid> Guh.
18:36 <Cepheid> I wasn't expecting to win, to be honest.
18:36 <Cepheid> I hadn't prepared one bit.
18:37 <Cepheid> Aside from equipping Volt Amulets on everyone. I didn't bring Volt Mists, so I just relied on subclassing Dreamer to get a few extra skill points into Antivolt. It was enough to reduce the damage such that everyone could survive.
18:40 * Cepheid saves. He saves three times in a row.
18:42 <Cepheid> Now there's only one real problem.
19:02 <Cepheid> So, there's an unmoving pasaran on the 24th floor that appears at 3 PM. It's guaranteed to be a Blue Pasaran, and will summon Red Pasarans, and, as is the norm, can self-destruct.
19:02 <Cepheid> The red one is worth 78,000 EXP.
19:06 <Cepheid> Blue one causes more Pasarans to spawn of the element it's hit with. Yellow is the money-maker Pasaran, as it drops Gold Fluff, worth 50,000en. Red is the EXP, as it by default gives 60,000 EXP, scaled up with any EXP boosting skills. So 72,000 with my party.
19:07 <Cepheid> Best way to farm them would be to equip everyone with weapons that cause leg bindings, to keep them from running.

19:14 * Schism watches the remastered version of "Rejected", in high quality now. "Tuesday's coming. Did you bring your coat?"
19:16 <Schism> I'd forgotten that this is just a bit disturbing.
19:16 <Schism> Even before the end.
19:23 <Cepheid> Okay, I have to go check on that noise I'm hearing.
19:23 <Cepheid> I think there's a cat outside meowing for help.
19:26 <Cepheid> It's not. It's just really loud kids from far away.
19:26 <Schism> Well. This looks interesting. https://www.pcgamer.com/taking-to-the-skies-in-airborne-kingdoms-floating-toybox-cities/
19:28 <Schism> Hm. Cepheid: This week, Epic Store has FEZ; next is Celeste.
19:28 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:32 <Cepheid> At this point, in all honesty, killing superbosses may be more efficient in terms of EXP.
19:35 <Cepheid> However, I need a break from 3.
19:37 * Ali pat pats Cepheid
19:38 <Cepheid> Not a break from EO, mind. Just a break from 3, in particular.
19:38 <Ali> I'm only playing Factorio else I'd be bored to death
19:39 * Schism decides to play a bit of a game about a man in a cauldron with a sledgehammer.
19:39 * Cepheid cleans desk.
19:39 <Ali> Oooh, steel stink cloud is getting really close to a bug base, but is about to shut off soon
19:40 <Cepheid> When you inevitably arrive at the asylum, Schism, keep an eye out for the Pale Lady.
19:40 * ADragonDreaming starts learning .17
19:40 <Ali> ADragonDreaming, there's not too much different from .16...
19:40 <Ali> minus the whole tech tree and bottles cost different things
19:40 <ADragonDreaming> significant UI change.
19:41 <Ali> Well that too
19:41 * Ali was more talking gameplay
19:41 <Schism> Cepheid: Oh, it's not THAT bad... *twitch*
19:41 <Ali> Miss a jump, lose two hours of progress
19:41 <Schism> I know, I know. XD;
19:42 <LunaticHell> hey Schism
19:42 <Cepheid> I think my parents need to start varying the flavours of cat food.
19:42 <Cepheid> Spitfire seems to be showing indications of getting sick of the same food all the time.
19:43 <LunaticHell> Have I ever told you about nightmares?
19:43 <Schism> LunaticHell, I know from nightmares. >_O Getting eaten alive and having muscles tense up, as you mentioned, so that the pain carries over...
19:43 * Cepheid starts up Nexus. Was gonna do 2 next, but is getting curious. And he's also under the impression that Nexus works via the ending of the base stories, not true endings.
19:43 <LunaticHell> Ah yes, actually exactly that
19:43 <LunaticHell> literally that
19:43 * Schism offers LunaticHell a stiff drink.
19:43 <LunaticHell> like a dozen set of teeth tearing up your flesh
19:43 <LunaticHell> thanks ^^
19:44 <Cepheid> New Game, Heroic Difficulty. It's odd, though.
19:44 <Schism> I believe I shall give Opus Magnum a bit of a run again. After this game of solitaire.
19:44 <Cepheid> Heroic Difficulty is described as "The same as Expert Difficulty, but once you change the difficulty in the menu, you can't go back to Heroic Difficulty."
19:44 <LunaticHell> Also I carried excalibur
19:45 <LunaticHell> Also the point of...well shall I start at the beginning?
19:45 <Cepheid> It has been tradition to name the guild "Misfits"
19:45 <Cepheid> We have... 9 characters for a name.
19:45 <Cepheid> Set of characters is basic English alphabet, punctuation marks, and...
19:45 <LunaticHell> Cepheid: "We're a couple of misfits, that's where we fit in"?
19:45 <Cepheid> Lots of various symbols.
19:46 <Cepheid> LunaticHell: More or less. Usually the guild that I beat every game with becomes this mismash of impossible characters that somehow defy the odds.
19:46 <LunaticHell> Don't we ever love the underdogs.
19:46 <Cepheid> It's always worked out that way for me, somehow.
19:46 <Cepheid> When I don't prepare, things go well. When I think about it and prepare, things go poorly.
19:47 <Cepheid> It seems my life works best when I'm winging it.
19:47 <Cepheid> Ah to hell with it. Misfits it is. It's tradition at this point.
19:48 <Cepheid> Etria is to the East of where this game's tree is. High Lagaard is to the North. Armoroad is to the South. Tharsis isn't given a direction. Hmm.
19:48 <LunaticHell> Hold up
19:48 <Cepheid> Etria is based over Japan.
19:48 <Schism> Sigmar's Garden... eeeeevil.
19:48 <Cepheid> High Lagaard, and indeed, Etrian Odyssey 2, had a sort of russian theme to it.
19:48 <LunaticHell> When criminals in this world appear. And break the laws that they should fear. And frighten all who see or hear. The cry goes up both far and near. For Underdog!
19:48 <LunaticHell> :P
19:49 * Sleeping_Nightmares eees at Schism!
19:49 *** Sleeping_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares
19:49 <Cepheid> Armoroad is to the South, and consisted of a bunch of islands and a large "North Continent" to the north of it.
19:49 <LunaticHell> Ya know, ceph, underdog
19:49 <Cepheid> Yes, yes.
19:49 <Cepheid> I went with Misfits though, too late to change. Unless I start over, I guess.
19:50 <Cepheid> Anyhow...
19:50 <Cepheid> Using these various points of interest..
19:50 <LunaticHell> It's "hip, hip, hip" and away he goes ;)
19:51 <LunaticHell> Fun times had been had
19:53 <Cepheid> Let's see. Etria is Japan, I know this to be the case due to the fifth stratum. It's Shinjuku. It's to the East of where we are. High Lagaard is Russian in theme, to a degree(Gunner class, especially, which played a big role in it), and is described as being North.
19:53 <Cepheid> Armoroad gave me Jamaican vibes, a seaside resort type place. It had the Shogun class, described as being from the East. So it's to the west of Etria, and in this game, it's placed South of where we are.
19:55 <Cepheid> It was surrounded by water, too, so it has islands everywhere, this describes an archipelago. Looking at a world map, the only place I can see where Russia's to the North and Japan's to the East, and is an archipelago, is the Phillipines or Indonesia. Phillipines looks better, since it has a continent to the North, which was a big deal in Etrian Odyssey 3's sea stuff.
19:57 <Cepheid> Which means... This game takes place somewhere near South Korea, approximately. It could be out in the sea, because of the nature of the area.
19:57 <Cepheid> Mmm, not quite. The princess describes "The Lost Islands of Lemuria."
19:58 <Schism> Doubtless also Mu. o3o
19:59 <Cepheid> Probably, since it seems the core focus is specifically the lost civilisation of Lemuria.
20:00 <Cepheid> Hell of a name there, princess. Persephone Maginias.
20:00 <Cepheid> This time, I am constructing the party to WIN.

21:00 <Cepheid> ...
21:00 <Cepheid> Yeah, game, EXP's great and all, but I'm not falling for that particular trap.
21:00 * Cepheid walks away from the early-game murdertrap.
21:01 * ADragonDreaming kills all production to stop the pollution clouds from reaching a biter base.
21:04 * Filly_Nightmares lickies Ali nosie
21:04 <Schism> Hmmmm, not too bad. 115 cost on the Surrender Flare...
21:05 <Schism> Much lower area than Adra's.
21:06 <ADragonDreaming> hey what?
21:06 <ADragonDreaming> what game?
21:06 <Schism> Opus Magnum.
21:06 <ADragonDreaming> aha
21:06 <ADragonDreaming> to be bearing with me, I wish to see the solution I had for that

21:11 <Cepheid> Gh. I want to lay down really badly, I dunno why.
21:13 * Schism considers how to make this solution better.
21:17 *** Joins: LunaNightwind (rvd42@Pony-d0kvpo.o55u.j4eu.0191.2601.IP)
21:21 <ADragonDreaming> I've optimized Hangover Cure pretty well
21:23 <ADragonDreaming> Schism: https://imgur.com/MazvgpJ
21:24 <Schism> Hehe. Gonna have to remake this surrender bit, buuuut...
21:25 <Cepheid> I'll be dead honest, these boxes look more technologically advance than their appearance suggests. Lemuria is an advanced society, it seems.
21:25 <Schism> I've got one less cycle than you, Adra. :3 But everything else, you win.
21:26 <ADragonDreaming> In what?
21:26 <ADragonDreaming> Surrender Flare?
21:26 <Schism> Hangover Cure; mine's 94 cycles.
21:26 <ADragonDreaming> Ah
21:27 <ADragonDreaming> I think my solution for Airship Fuel is pretty well optimized for the combination of the three metrics.
21:28 <ADragonDreaming> https://imgur.com/nIvODLQ
21:29 * Schism shall take a look at his once he's done with a little more optimization of this nonsense.
21:31 * Filly_Nightmares licks Schism and curls up on top of his head!
21:32 <Cepheid> Royal Veil isn't as powerful in this game as it was in Etrian Odyssey 3. Still, takes a bit of the sting out.
21:38 <Schism> Oh, MUCH better. This solution, I like.
21:38 * Filly_Nightmares licks Lumindia
21:38 <Schism> Adra: Surrender Flare. https://imgur.com/a/oTvsoyf
21:41 * Lumindia licks back
21:42 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs Lumindia nosie!
21:44 <Schism> Hmm.... nah, that's a nice clean solution.
21:45 <Schism> Adra: My Airship Fuel solution is nowhere near as elegant as yours. :P
21:47 <ADragonDreaming> well, share!
21:55 <Schism> 'kay. https://i.imgur.com/8TlrPep.gif
21:57 <Ali> Woo, gained 10 grade on a boss fight Cepheid
21:57 * Cepheid examines the world map closely. Sees the labyrinth entrance from EO3 on it.
21:58 <Cepheid> A dark pit over there... and what looks like a forest of thorns. That doesn't look ominous *AT ALL*
21:58 <Cepheid> And nice, Ali.
21:58 <ADragonDreaming> That's your new solution, isn't it?
21:59 <Schism> Yea, I'll pull up the old one too.
21:59 <ADragonDreaming> hehe
22:00 <Schism> There. Nyah. https://imgur.com/a/gGIV95X
22:04 <LunaNightwind> im bored so im gonna stream some kingdom hearts 3 since i never did anything with it when it came otu
22:05 <ADragonDreaming> nicely done on both, really

22:29 <Cepheid> Guuh. Gotta lay down. Body won't stop screaming at my brain to lay down.
22:41 <Cepheid> Anyone know of a good compilation of short horror stories? Paranormal, eldritch, and cryptids in particular.
22:41 <Schism> You could always refamiliarize yourself with the works of Edgar Allen Poe.
22:41 <ADragonDreaming> check reddit?
22:47 <Cepheid> I found some to read. Just need some specific keywords.

23:19 * Schism makes up a pot of his terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad tea.
23:22 <Cepheid> First there was exhaustion. And next there was heat and sweating. And now? I feel like I'm holding something down in my stomach, along with an odd headache.
23:22 <ADragonDreaming> that's not good
23:26 <Schism> Cepheid: Eugh... if this persists, a clinic visit may be in order, I take it?
23:27 <Cepheid> I checked my temp. 99.3. Just to be safe I took some tylenol with codeine.
23:28 <Cepheid> I better have not contracted something else.
23:28 *** Quits: LunaNightwind (rvd42@Pony-d0kvpo.o55u.j4eu.0191.2601.IP) (Connection closed)
23:30 * PinkieShy hugs Schism
23:31 <Cepheid> As it is my head is starting to feel like that second day of pneumonia. You know, the one where I was whining all day.
23:31 * Schism nods. >_O
23:31 * Schism also checks to see when flu shots usually become available.
23:35 *** Joins: LunaNightwind (rvd42@Pony-j0fmr5.o55u.j4eu.0191.2601.IP)
23:36 <PinkieShy> I haven't had a flu shot since the swine flu was a worry
23:37 <PinkieShy> Every time i get the flu shot i get sick lol
23:37 <PinkieShy> That's why i stopped getting it :)
23:37 <Schism> You'll get a BIT sick from a flu shot, but it's better to take it, because it's meant to protect against the harshest strains.
23:39 <Cepheid> It is also meant to help others.
23:40 <Cepheid> Some people legitimately cannot get the flu shot. Immunocompromised people for example.
23:41 <Cepheid> By keeping your hands clean, coughing/sneezing into your arm instead, and getting the flu shot, you reduce the risk of spreading it to others.
23:42 <Cepheid> It may not always be effective, given the strain is different each year, and hard to predict, it is much better than taking the risk of being a carrier and spreading it around.
23:42 * Schism nodnods.
23:43 <Cepheid> Otherwise, you're just being an idiot and an asshole.
23:43 <Schism> Worse if you do so because you think the flu isn't that bad.
23:43 <Cepheid> I contracted the flu once. Never bloody again.
23:46 <Cepheid> Two weeks confined to bed. Coughing, sneezing, some vomiting. Constant throbbing, painful headache. Hallucinations. It was basically two weeks of pain, agony, sweating and stewing in bed. Felt like I wasn't gonna survive. I saw shadows moving as if they were alive. I woke up one night to a shadowy figure over me. Looking down at me.

23:55 <Ali> Tales of Symphonia ADragonDreaming
23:55 <ADragonDreaming> ah
23:55 <Ali> Most battles net 200xp
23:57 * ADragonDreaming is doing slowtorio
23:57 <ADragonDreaming> for some reason I am feeling resistant to setting up automated smelting and such.
23:57 <ADragonDreaming> at least larger setups.
