00:00 <Cepheid> Officially, it is impossible to 100% the game prior to obtaining the fifth and final legion.

00:00 <Cepheid> There are a lot of things in earlier "cases" that require legions you don't get until much later.

01:19 * Cepheid sets the beast legion to have a pure jet black colour. Closest he'll get to a murdercat.

01:23 * DashedRainbows makes bored horse noises

01:47 <PinkieShy> oh dang

02:33 <Ali> PinkieShy, about that

02:34 <Ali> It has to turn first, which as of the 10PM update it has not

02:34 <Ali> And its moving at 5MPH

03:33 <PinkieShy> Ali i saw :)

03:33 * PinkieShy boops Ali

03:33 * Ali squeaks

03:33 <Ali> Either way its not good for anyone Dorian hits

03:34 <Ali> Though 11PM update did increase its speed a little

03:37 * PinkieShy hands Ali a broken Compass that points the opposite direction from the real one.

03:38 <Ali> Yeah that's about everyone's idea on where Dorian is going to go

03:38 <PinkieShy> My father just called and told me there is a ton of traffic.

03:39 <Ali> I mean its a good idea to GTFO of its way

03:39 <Ali> But its gonna suck if the call is wrong

03:44 <PinkieShy> I guess waiting till tomorrow or Tuesday is best bet and if yes.. then leaving Wednesday or Tuesday night will be best i guess.

03:45 <Ali> IF it doesn't pick up speed PinkieShy

04:52 <Ali> OSAP?

04:53 * Ali flops into Cepheid and nuzzles

04:53 <Cepheid> Ontario Student Assistance Program.

04:54 * Ali nod nods

04:55 <Ali> You know, and only cause I'm the weather nerd around here

04:55 <Ali> I don't think TWC has ever had hourly updates to a storm before

04:55 * Ali eagerly awaits the 1AM update >.>

05:04 * Ali flops. 180MPH and moving west at 5MPH

05:04 <Ali> It still hasn't turned

05:05 <Ali> If this thing doesn't make a turn north in the next 4-8 hours its gonna slam Florida

05:12 * PinkieShy hands Ali a pound cake

05:12 * Ali puts it on PinkieShy

05:12 * PinkieShy has a pound cake on head.

05:12 <Ali> So as you just heard me say PinkieShy, the storm still hasn't turned north

05:12 <PinkieShy> Yea :)

05:13 <Ali> Maybe good for you, but bad for Florida

05:14 <PinkieShy> I know a bunch of poeople from Florida thanks to VRChat, I am worried about them as well.

05:14 <PinkieShy> but they told me they are leaving so yea :3

05:16 <Ali> Yeah but the problem is now that the outer bands are only a few hours away from reaching Florida

11:45 <Lumindia> https://cannibalinteractive.itch.io/i-have-low-stats-but-my-class-is-leader-so-i-recruited-everyone-i-know

11:45 <Lumindia> so this is certainly a game

11:49 * ConfusionRift smells RPG Maker.

11:52 * ConfusionRift checks the Kickstarter... he's now in pain.

11:53 <Tirek> Clyp and Soundcloud have a limit on the total length of all the music you have on their platforms, currently. Unless you pay, and I loathe that.

11:54 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that's dumb.

11:54 <Lumindia> i mean, yeah, it's RPG Maker

11:57 <ConfusionRift> Heh, it certainly has that Big Bad person (but not as big and bad as the boss) vibe. :P

11:58 <boredbro14> hi

11:58 <Tirek> Friend of a friend is gearing up to get a demo of his game at SAGE this year and is rushing to get music produced. I.e. hiring a few people he knows to get some music in his game.

11:59 <Tirek> I'm still waiting to see what he thinks of this. If he's down with it, I'm gonna get paid something like 80 bucks.

11:59 <ConfusionRift> Eech, nice.

11:59 <boredbro14> oh thats cool!

12:00 <ConfusionRift> Question, is it supposed to be on par with a level or is it more of a situation riff?

12:00 <Tirek> What do you mean?

12:01 <Tirek> Also, hi.

12:02 <ConfusionRift> Like, did he gave you a description to what he was looking for?

12:02 <Tirek> Sort of.

12:02 <Tirek> He told me what he was using as a placeholder, and gave me some examples of music he's been using as placeholders throughout the game.

12:03 <ConfusionRift> Aah.

12:03 <Tirek> He was using Nightmare's theme from Metroid Fusion as his placeholder miniboss theme.

12:04 * ConfusionRift suddenly remember the ol' clown horror music from before.

12:04 <boredbro14> huh how did you do that green text?

12:04 <Tirek> So, I tried to make something that was roughly like that, and also in line with the styles of music he was already using as placeholders

12:05 <ConfusionRift> Green text? If it's the action text, then it's by using /me.

12:05 <boredbro14> oh wait i asket that before

12:05 <boredbro14> sorry

12:05 <ConfusionRift> Heheheh.

12:05 <Tirek> Then he gave me a relative amount of length for the song, and I got to work from there.

12:05 <boredbro14> xD

12:05 <boredbro14> oh cool :P

12:06 <boredbro14> ;)

12:06 <boredbro14> :)

12:06 <boredbro14> :S

12:06 <boredbro14> wow this think nows every thing

12:06 <boredbro14> thing

12:07 <ConfusionRift> It's quite the strange placeholder. Also, pretty big 180. :P

12:08 <Tirek> Nightmare is pretty bare-bones and short. Its pretty much what you'd expect from a miniboss theme.

12:08 <Tirek> I guess I should say the style of game he's doing is based off of Megaman X.

12:09 <ConfusionRift> Then it needs more cowbell... I mean, electric guitars. :P

12:09 <Tirek> Unfortunately, my guitar libraries are woefully lackluster.

12:10 <ConfusionRift> Is it just me, or is finding a specific guitar for a song is kind of a pain?

12:10 <Tirek> Free guitar patches are pretty rare.

12:11 <Tirek> If I were me from 8 years ago, I'd have just stolen whatever I could find.

12:11 <Tirek> But now I'm trying to maintain a relatively pirate-free collection of software and sample libraries.

12:11 <ConfusionRift> LMMS has like single digit samples, and are mostly similar, except for how distorted they are.

12:12 <ConfusionRift> And one of the packs is messed up. Not sure why, but no matter what I do, it always comes messed up.

12:12 <Tirek> You gotta make your own guitars using FM synthesis and effect plugins

12:13 <Tirek> That's usually what I do.

12:15 * ConfusionRift finds the Windows generic one, and it just sounds like a sax.

12:15 <ConfusionRift> Yeah...

12:19 <boredbro14> im board :/

12:20 <boredbro14> heh :/

16:05 <Ali> But I'm a weather nerd so this storm has been interesting to track

16:05 <LibrarianofHope> what does flyover country means here?

16:05 <Schism> The midwest of the US.

16:05 <Schism> Lots of corn.

16:05 <LibrarianofHope> ohh

16:06 <LibrarianofHope> riiight

16:06 <LibrarianofHope> i get atoutomatically worried, now i remember you arent anywhere near close

16:07 <LibrarianofHope> you might answer something im curios then ali

16:08 <LibrarianofHope> why havent we gotten any hurricanes in the gulf of mexico?

16:08 <LibrarianofHope> we should have gotten some by now

16:08 <Schism> It's because of the wall.  It's finally working!

16:08 <Ali> Could be a number of things

16:09 * LibrarianofHope flops on schism

16:09 <LibrarianofHope> like waht'

16:09 <Ali> Could be wind shear that inhibits development

16:09 * Schism grins, and boops LibrarianofHope with a few small pot pies.

16:09 <Ali> Then there's that Saharah dust that's up in the atmosphere

16:09 <Ali> Though that shouldn't affect the Gulf

16:10 <Schism> Doesn't seem to be affecting the President's ability to release high-quality pictures of sensitive information from his phone.

16:10 <LibrarianofHope> we used to ge them like clockwork,also torrential rain

16:10 <Ali> I didn't say it would increase Trump's IQ or to get off his blasted phone

16:10 <Ali> LibrarianofHope, not every year a big storm pops up, but the season isn't over yet

16:10 <LibrarianofHope> some parts of the city got really flooded every year

16:11 <LibrarianofHope> its not every year?

16:11 <Ali> Of course not

16:11 <LibrarianofHope> ohh

16:11 <LibrarianofHope> good to know

16:11 <Ali> Hurricanes are random

16:11 <Ali> There's always X a year

16:11 <Ali> but they don't always hit land

16:12 <Ali> Also

16:12 * Ali boops LibrarianofHope

16:12 <Ali> There has been one gulf storm this year already, but that hit the US

16:12 <LibrarianofHope> the texas one?

16:13 * Ali boops LibrarianofHope again, there's only been 4 named storms this year so far

16:13 <LibrarianofHope> owo

16:13 <Ali> And one I don't really count cause they deemed it 'subtropical'

16:13 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Quit: Client restart)

16:13 <LibrarianofHope> can hurricanes happen outside of the season'

16:13 <Ali> Yes, but extremely rarely

16:14 <Ali> But I don't think in the Gulf it can

16:14 <Ali> The few that have developed outside the season usually are way way out in the Atlantic, never to touch land.

16:14 <LibrarianofHope> this is raher fascinanting

16:14 * LibrarianofHope flops on much smart ali

16:18 <Ali> Tornadoes are a joke compared to Hurricanes

16:18 <Ali> Let me put it this way LibrarianofHope

16:18 <Crimson_Tail> 1000 feet wide twisty boi

16:18 <Ali> Tornado's can maybe be a few miles wide and last for minutes at a time

16:18 <Crimson_Tail> And 500 mile spinny boi

16:18 <Ali> Hurricanes are yeah

16:18 <Ali> That

16:19 <Crimson_Tail> Tornadoes last for minutes at best, upwards to an hour or so

16:19 <Crimson_Tail> Hurricanes go on for days

16:19 <Ali> Dorian was at least an EF2 when it got up to 185MPH winds

16:19 <Ali> EF0 is like the start of the Hurricane scale

16:19 <LibrarianofHope> im so glad i live in the center of mexico owo

16:19 <Ali> At its highest I think

16:20 <LibrarianofHope> albeit quakes, but meh

16:20 <Ali> But yes, hurricanes are far worse than tornadoes

16:20 <Ali> Also hurricanes can spawn them

16:20 <LibrarianofHope> tey for a job in the local news weather

16:20 <LibrarianofHope> the whole not cute skit would be a hit

17:29 <LibrarianofHope> no such thing, you just lack shelf space

17:29 <OctaveSymphony> Cabinet*

17:30 <Cepheid> I actually need to pack away some of the stuff I have on my shelves.

17:30 <OctaveSymphony> I keep my displayed stuff in glass cabinets

17:30 <LibrarianofHope> i need one

17:30 <Cepheid> Some of it just sits there endlessly, never being touched.

17:30 <OctaveSymphony> I have 6 cabinets in this room, all full

17:30 <LibrarianofHope> im selling must of my unused stugg

17:30 <LibrarianofHope> i have one, half full

17:30 <Cepheid> THe movies and TV show DVDs/Blurays can go downstairs to where my parents keep the family selection of stuff.

17:30 <Cepheid> Empty boxes can be tossed.

17:30 <Cepheid> I should mail off those parts to ADra, too.

17:31 <LibrarianofHope> will fill the cabinet with the tau i got

17:31 <Cepheid> Consoles... Wii U can go into storage, PS3 stays out though because I'm inclined to play a few games on it, which will probably happen later this year.

17:31 <ADragonDreaming> what's shipping cost for that, anyway?

17:31 <LibrarianofHope> go dhl, best choice

17:31 <OctaveSymphony> One cabinet is purely Horus Heresy characters

17:31 <Cepheid> I have no idea.  I haven't looked into it yet, but because I assume there's duty and customs, it's probably gonna be a bit.

17:31 <OctaveSymphony> 2 shelves are Primarchs

17:31 <Cepheid> The other half of it is convincing my dad to drive me out to mail it.

17:31 <Cepheid> He's concerned about the costs.

17:32 <Cepheid> Nevermind that he ships stuff up to my sister in Nunavut, which costs a fortune in itself.

17:32 <ADragonDreaming> I am more than willing to help defray.

17:32 <LibrarianofHope> i do have good old nagash, havent finisehd painting him

17:32 <LibrarianofHope> and bunch of nighthaunt, almost a full set

17:32 <OctaveSymphony> I got new Nagash and his Mortarchs on a shelf in a different cabinet

17:32 <Cepheid> Given that the parts are probably worth about how much the customs and shipping costs would be, and were originally worth around a thousand, I'm sure you would, ADragonDreaming.

17:33 <LibrarianofHope> i only have arkhan and lady olynder

17:33 <LibrarianofHope> imm a get the ossiarch one as soon as i can

17:33 <OctaveSymphony> I will add it to my collection...

17:33 <Cepheid> Actually they're probably worth closer to $100-200 now, on eBay and such, but yeah.  You'd be getting them for far less than their current value these days.

17:33 <ADragonDreaming> right, so let me know if/how I can help with shipping costs.

17:34 <Cepheid> Well, first step would be to weigh all the parts while packaged.  Then I'll use an online calculator to get an estimate.

17:34 <OctaveSymphony> Got a package coming in from Canada soon too

17:34 <Cepheid> Then play a bit of tetris to get the package size down.

17:34 <LibrarianofHope> try to use DHL, in my experience is fast and very reliable

17:34 <ADragonDreaming> Then figure out how to send money across the border, heh.

17:35 <Cepheid> That's no issue.

17:35 <Cepheid> I've done it before.

17:35 <Cepheid> It's pretty straightforward.  Just put the address information on the package, and the delivery service takes care of the rest.

17:35 <Cepheid> Unless you mean like, which service to use, etc.

17:35 <ADragonDreaming> no, I mean, how do I get funds to you.

17:39 <OctaveSymphony> Paypal?

17:40 <Cepheid> Oh, that.  Yeah.

17:41 <Cepheid> Well, usually whenever money exchanges hands between family members, we use interac e-transfers.  But I'm not sure how trustworthy those are for cross-country transfers, or if they're even remotely safe to begin with.

17:44 * Cepheid reduces richness of all ores, sets RSO to use 0 for multiplier/exponent of size-from-center, generates map, examines results.

17:44 <OctaveSymphony> Why not use paypal though? It's a good service

17:46 <Cepheid> For purposes of e-transfers, I guess it works, yeah.

17:46 <Cepheid> Especially since I think it does automatic currency conversion and such.

17:50 <Cepheid> I'll look into the weighing of the package today, see about shipping tomorrow or Wednesday.  My dad's off all week, so he has no excuse to not drive me to the local post office.

17:50 *** Joins: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-vrt.ugb.207.187.IP)

17:50 <LibrarianofHope> pc went dumb

17:50 <Cepheid> Only thing you'll need to supply for yourself ADragonDreaming are motherboard posts and motherboard screws.

17:51 <Cepheid> I don't have any extras laying around.

17:51 <Cepheid> Though my dad could probably get some from work, if needed.

17:52 <Cepheid> One of the benefits of being a technician.  Especially a technician for a company who doesn't care about having screws and such sent back.

17:52 <Cepheid> Any screws left over, because many times they're packed in with the parts that Dell and Lexmark sends, my dad gets to keep.

17:52 <Cepheid> There's leftovers because in many cases, the existing screws inside the hardware can just be re-used.

17:53 <Cepheid> The set sent in are spares, just in case a screw is stripped, or damaged.  As that does happen.

17:53 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/uKJGnEq.jpg By the by, what my dad deals with, on occasion

17:54 <Cepheid> Apparently, the part he had to replace was a very small motor behind that mainboard.  And it didn't fix the problem.

17:54 <Cepheid> Because the problem turned out to be "Someone didn't know what the hell they were doing."

17:54 <Cepheid> It turns out the problem was caused by a massive clump of paper all balled up and wedged in behind the paper tray.

17:55 <Cepheid> That is, either someone played a prank and messed up the printer intentionally, or they didn't know how to load it properly, and shoved a bunch of paper into the bay without using the tray.

17:55 <Cepheid> Then the next person to come along found it, filled the tray, and put it into the bay without removing the paper in there.

17:55 <OctaveSymphony> And the Sister Superior is assembled

17:56 <OctaveSymphony> These new Sisters of Battle are gonna be awesome

17:56 <Cepheid> Heh.

17:56 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/0Nl6SxD Ooooh.

17:58 <LibrarianofHope> trippy

17:58 <LibrarianofHope> i like it

18:07 <Cepheid> Ironically, of all the parts I'm shipping, I think the heaviest one is the video card.

18:07 <Cepheid> Motherboard has a bit of weight to it as well, but for some reason, video cards are heavy.  Probably the copper piping and heatsink stuff.

18:18 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-q6p.4be.58.172.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

18:29 <Cepheid> So, a game dev under a lot of fire recently committed suicide.

18:32 <Schism> Yes.

18:37 <Cepheid> I understand that he did a lot of bad stuff, but his situation concerns me for other reasons.

18:38 <Schism> I do believe the woman who brought him back into the light on these circumstances, as it's not the first time his name has come up with regards to those actions.

18:38 <Cepheid> His sister mentioned he was dealing with mental health issues, some of which are probably part of why he acted the way he did towards people.  And that part is what concerns me.

18:38 * Schism mms.

18:38 <Cepheid> The mental health issues don't redeem him in regards to his behaviour.

18:38 <Cepheid> That much I'll agree on.

18:39 <Cepheid> But the mental health issues possibly causing some negative behaviours is what bothers me.

18:39 <Schism> They might explain a bit of it, but...

18:39 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

18:39 <Cepheid> As for why it bothers me?

18:39 <Schism> Cepheid, you, I, and a lot of us here in this channel all have pretty severe mental health disorders.

18:39 <Schism> Well, not that severe.

18:39 <Cepheid> Yes, I am aware.

18:39 <Cepheid> But the issue is more in one of my particular mental health problems.

18:39 <Cepheid> The inexplicable sudden outbursts and meltdowns.

18:40 <Cepheid> They just crop up out of nowhere, with no indications that they will happen.

18:40 <Cepheid> And, I'll be honest?

18:40 <Cepheid> I'm terrified of it happening when I'm working with others.

18:41 <Cepheid> You look at some of the things people say, the sexual abuse, the physical and verbal abuse.  Myself, the sexual abuse wouldn't be an issue.  I'm not that kind of asshole.  It's the physical and verbal abuse that concerns me.

18:41 <Cepheid> If I, when at work, were to suddenly lose my shit for no explainable reason, over something ranging from innocuous to legitimately concerning, and then start ranting, raving and yelling at others, how would that be perceived?

18:43 <Cepheid> Until such a time as I learn to either control those outbursts and meltdowns, I am at risk of being perceived as abusive.

18:43 <Cepheid> The only way around it would be to work alongside those who've known me for some time, and know that I am not well in the head, and that I don't mean a majority of the shit I say when I'm upset.

18:44 <Schism> Even then, you wouldn't drop down to personal attacks.  You do still need to control those somehow... but you wouldn't ever devolve into sexist or racist slurs, or, I believe, attacking someone in such a way.

18:45 <Cepheid> I'll be straight up.  If I ever laid a hand on someone, or made racist or sexist remarks, or any similar types of insulting remarks about a person personally, you'd likely find me cowering, crying and beating myself up somewhere in a dark room after I've calmed down.

18:45 <Schism> Honestly, Cepheid, I think you'd probably wind up gibbering in a corner before you ever hurt someone intentionally.

18:45 <Schism> Heh.

18:45 <Cepheid> That's pretty much a shorter version of what I just said, yeah.

18:46 <Cepheid> I am aware of what I do whenever I'm raging, I try to exhert some control, but it doesn't seem to work.  What usually ends up happening is once I reach a breaking point, I kinda just end up falling over and crying and beating my head or hands against a solid surface until I'm calm again.

18:47 <Cepheid> It's a distressing feeling, watching yourself doing and saying stuff that you'd never want to do or say, and having absolutely no control over it.

18:47 <Schism> I know it well.

18:48 <Cepheid> I'd like to get professional help, but the hospitals don't seem overly concerned, and I don't have a psychiatrist.  There's also the issue in that no one is willing to do anything *UNLESS* they see it in action, because otherwise..

18:48 <LibrarianofHope> imma go into lower power mode, which means staring into the screen

18:48 <Cepheid> As far as they are concerned, I could just be exaggerating things.

18:49 <Cepheid> Anyhow, I'm not in a bad mood or anything right now.  Just thinking.

18:50 <Cepheid> I wonder if the Kendo club has set up hours yet.  It's almost time for the semester to start, so..

18:50 <Cepheid> Still nothing, eh?

18:50 <Cepheid> Probably take a week or two.

18:58 * Cepheid flops over Ali.

18:58 * Cepheid will BRB. Switching to PC.

18:58 <LibrarianofHope> wonder if that works

18:59 <LibrarianofHope> i hate buronout! im useless right now

18:59 <LibrarianofHope> and bored

18:59 * Ali rolls around waiting for the 3PM Dorian update

19:01 * LibrarianofHope flops on ali

19:01 <LibrarianofHope> feed me ali

19:01 <Cepheid> That's pretty sad when I know a song so well that when I start playing it, realize my speakers aren't plugged in, I start humming it, and then when I plug in the speakers, the playback is at the exact spot I hummed to.

19:01 <Ali> Well its weakening

19:01 <Ali> 150MPH winds now

19:01 <Ali> But oddly enough its stalled out, its barely moving now

19:01 <LibrarianofHope> why is it sad? its a neat ability

19:02 <Cepheid> I guess so, LibrarianofHope.

19:02 * Ali also ponders Factorio but also kinda doesn't want to play it alone.

19:04 <Cepheid> Hum.

19:04 <Cepheid> When my TV is set to "PC" I lose the ability to set the colour space and a few other features..

19:04 <Cepheid> Those are the key features for adjusting the colour, so... odd.

19:06 <Ali> So is it bad I rarely used an assembler 3?

19:06 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, any other mode, seems to introduce some minor input lag..

19:08 <Cepheid> Fixing *THAT* issue requires turning on "Game Mode" which seems to reduce the quality of the display somewhat.

19:11 <Cepheid> Also, blue and red are the hardest colours to get right on this danged thing.

19:20 <Cepheid> Bah, I'll just use PC mode, and use the nVidia control panel to adjust the settings.  Software adjustments HO!

19:35 <Cepheid> Oh, wow.  I managed to get some of the usual test images I couldn't get right before to look right.

19:37 <LibrarianofHope> the joker movie seems to be fantastic

19:37 <LibrarianofHope> like masterpiece level

19:45 <Cepheid> Guh.

19:45 <Cepheid> It smells like paint and paint thinner up here.

19:45 <LibrarianofHope> GAH

19:46 <Cepheid> My parents are trying to get rid of a urine stain/smell that seeped into the wood underneath the carpet.

19:46 <LibrarianofHope> not sure how paint is supposed to smeel, i barely register thinner

20:08 <Cepheid> The scaling factor is still there, but it's such that even after expanding out quite a bit, the density and richness of the resources isn't isn't in the millions.

20:09 <Cepheid> It's closer to "still within the tens of thousands to low hundreds of thousands."

20:12 <Cepheid> I'll set up a server in a little bit with it.  Gonna eat and shower first.

20:14 <Cepheid> Also need to pick out a map layout anyway.

20:16 <Schism> Randomly: Cepheid, if the MacGuffin of a story were a set of artifacts that created a universe built on its holder's innermost desires when they all came together, would you go after it?  Coz I wouldn't.

20:19 <Cepheid> Neither would I.
