00:20 <Schism> The sound of such an oboe...!

00:23 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/5YUTVkx.png

00:23 <Lumindia> i spent all my day levelling my crafters

00:24 <Schism> S... so far, so good...?

00:26 <Schism> Lumind...

00:26 * Schism aches.

00:27 <Lumindia> ?

00:27 * Lumindia pokes

00:27 <Schism> That's... that's really something...

00:27 <Lumindia> well not from 1

00:27 <Lumindia> they were all about 42-43

00:27 <Lumindia> except WVR and ALC

00:27 <Lumindia> those were 70

00:27 <Schism> That doesn't help...

00:28 <Schism> So, you were going to... use leves for all that.

00:29 <Schism> As much as I joke, that's actually really awesome.

00:30 <Schism> You got that many levels, that's frightful.

00:30 <Lumindia> OOF

00:30 <Lumindia> Nest just had a 0.7% enrage on Levi

00:30 <Schism> Oww~!

00:30 <Lumindia> bunch of people died right at the end

00:30 <Lumindia> no idea what happened

00:30 <Schism> But really, Lumin.  This channel.  http://player.listenlive.co/44461

00:31 <Lumindia> what about it?

00:31 <Schism> It's good, and tends to be frighteningly good at predicting what happens on FFXIV streams.

00:32 <Lumindia> ... that's a radio station

00:32 <Lumindia> '-'

00:32 <Schism> A really good one.

00:32 <Lumindia> I'm missing something

00:32 <Lumindia> what does this have to do with XIV?

00:32 <Schism> Nothing at all.

00:32 <Schism> But it's really good anyway.

00:32 <Lumindia> `<Schism> It's good, and tends to be frighteningly good at predicting what happens on FFXIV streams.`

00:33 <Schism> It's strange, but classical music + FFXIV streams = an odd conjoinment.

00:33 <Schism> conjuncture?  Either way.

00:35 <Schism> I also use /bgm and listen to it in the background anyway.

00:36 * Cepheid flops off to bed.

00:36 * Schism offers the Cepheid a slice of bacon before sleep.

00:37 <PinkieShy> Also Steven Universe movie was so good and heartbreaking :(

00:40 * Ali sits on PinkieShy

00:41 <Ali> I don't think stationary is a good thing though

00:42 <PinkieShy> I know its not, But just puts on a delay for me i guess..

00:47 <Ali> Its weakening as well

05:51 <Schism> It really is.  https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/w/images/thumb/7/73/Yanxia-Map.jpg/790px-Yanxia-Map.jpg

05:51 <Schism> Well, it beats a certain... landmass formation... in HW.

05:52 <Cepheid> Oh?

05:54 <Cepheid> I'm awake because I needed water, as did my parents cat, by the way.

05:57 <Schism> There is a certain landmass in the Churning Mists which, while perfectly appropriate and reasonable, nonetheless resembles a particular physical feature when placed on a map.

05:58 <Schism> The inevitable end result of the Avalonians plotting things out in circles and lines.

05:59 <Cepheid> How did that one manage to slip by my eyes?

06:19 <Ali> Ugh cat, why did you have to drop a deuce in the litterbox and not cover it up....

06:19 <ConfusionRift> Oh goodness...

06:20 <ConfusionRift> Ali: Kitty is just reminding you that it's there. :P

06:20 * Ali whines at ConfusionRift

06:20 <ConfusionRift> The creator of TMod Loader decided to work on a Terraria boss. Seems others are referring to it as the "true" final boss.

06:21 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.

06:21 <Ali> As if Moon Lord wasn't enough for me...

06:21 <ConfusionRift> Harder than Supreme Calamitas.

06:23 <Ali> Nope, no thanks

06:23 <Ali> I've seen what Calamity bosses do

06:25 <ConfusionRift> I have beaten it... in normal... and took me a loooong time, but it was done.

06:25 <Schism> ... 40% of polled Republican male voters evidently believe that womens' periods begin either on a lunar cycle or on the first of the month.

06:26 <ConfusionRift> As for Expert... no thank you.

06:26 <ConfusionRift> ... (ignores that)

06:27 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/cyv97r/scared_cat_gets_saved_by_two_french_guys/

06:27 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, and there's a mod that makes bosses use the Expert Mode moveset, while still keeping normal damage and defense.

06:28 <Schism> ConfusionRift, that's actually the kind of mod I'd like to try.  The boss moveset for Expert is definitely more interesting, though the Eye of Cthulhu alone drove me to distraction with its endless swooping.

06:29 <ConfusionRift> Bosses Expertise mod.

06:29 <ConfusionRift> You can, if you want, have them drop the expert treasure bags. It's off by default, and affects all other mods.

06:30 <ConfusionRift> You can also configure it to allow you to use that extra slot from expert WoF. Again, optional.

06:31 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Poor kit-kit.

06:35 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, this is heavily inspired by Touhou.

06:42 <ConfusionRift> "We're peace-loving Bob-ombs... we got a Howitzer!"

06:43 <Schism> "What's the howitzer for?" "Si vis pacem, pare bellum." "Excuse me?" "Hugs."

06:44 <ConfusionRift> "For... long distance hugging."

06:53 <ConfusionRift> Forza fun fact I didn't know after jumping from 4 to 7: People on your friends list show up as A.I. racers with playing in single player. I think this was a smart move.

06:53 <ConfusionRift> *while, not with

06:53 <Schism> Interesting!

06:54 <Schism> Oh.  I had missed this part of the above story: the pastor in question for that Nashville, TN school stated that the Harry Potter series taught children real magic, which could invite devilish forces into themselves.

06:54 * ConfusionRift sighs hard.

06:55 * Schism shakes his head, "I'm just... amused. Admittedly, be more so if this idiot weren't indoctrinating children, but amused nonetheless."

06:56 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me of the days I used to go to this Adventist private school. Yeah... no fun.

06:57 <Schism> For a brief bit of my youth, I went to a charter school which ... well, TBH, was pretty much led by a pack of rabid chimpanzees and asylum escapees.

06:58 <ConfusionRift> "Like seriously, they were actually chimpanzees and asylum escapees. Something about an experiment?"

06:58 <Schism> I'm pretty sure some of them were 7th Day Advent Hoppists.

06:59 * ConfusionRift shutters.

06:59 <Schism> They would hop around the classroom, hop around the cafeteria... </RedDwarf>

06:59 <ConfusionRift> No offense to those who are in here... which I highly doubt there are any.

07:00 <ConfusionRift> I also remember checking out one of their newpapers, and they had their own theater showings... with their own ratings.

07:00 <Schism> ConfusionRift: "They believed in Biblical literalism and inerrancy, but unfortunately, their copy of the Bible had a misprint.  1 Corinthians 13: Faith, hop and charity, and the greatest of these is hop."

07:01 <Schism> Pfff, that's hardly original.  I take it their ratings were based on some stricture of morality?

07:01 <ConfusionRift> They were, and it was ridiculous.

07:02 <ConfusionRift> The first Pokemon movie was rated R.

07:02 <Schism> Hah.

07:02 <ConfusionRift> Most action movies were rated NC-17 or NR.

07:03 <Schism> For, I take it, depicting a young lady wearing a pair of shorts?

07:03 <Schism> And pff.

07:03 <ConfusionRift> I don't remember the comments behind the rating. I know I just erased them from my head.

07:03 <Golden> There is one meme that needs to make a comeback. Wanna know what meme I speak of?

07:04 <Schism> Golden: We get signal.

07:04 <Golden> Geddan

07:04 <Schism> Oh yeah, cartridge tilting.  I speak of something older and more arcane.

07:04 <ConfusionRift> Schism: What.

07:05 <Schism> ConfusionRift: How are you gentlemen.

07:05 <Cepheid> I need a blanket.  Had one in here but it mysteriously vanished.

07:05 <ConfusionRift> I miss that game.

07:05 <Schism> Zero Wing was actually a pretty decent shmup, too.

07:05 * ConfusionRift nods.

07:06 <ConfusionRift> I didn't like that they removed the cutscene from the arcade version.

07:06 <Schism> They did?  Awr. That pushed the game from 'a pretty decent shmup' into 'living legend'.

07:06 <Golden> My mind is so bogged up when I hear Zero and Wing in any capacity I just thing Mobile Suit Gundam.

07:06 <Cepheid> Guess I'll use the old time solution for warmth.  Socks and a sweater.

07:07 <Golden> Think*

07:07 <Schism> Golden: Yeah, but Heero Yuy was never QUITE that badly dubbed.

07:07 <Cepheid> Hey rifty, just a heads up, I started a new Factorio server.  It is special

07:07 <Golden> ....who said anything about the dub version?

07:08 <Schism> Oh, I thought we were discussing bad translations.

07:09 <ConfusionRift> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icVy7Ve6y6A Golden: Here it be, but this is the original MD/Genesis intro. And yes, it was this bad of a translation.

07:09 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

07:09 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about MD Zero Wing - Intro

07:09 <Golden> Note I am saying this as someone who binged both subbed and dubbrd versions of 079. But yeah

07:10 <Golden> Thank you ConfusionRift

07:10 <ConfusionRift> :P

07:10 <Cepheid> Ah, that ole meme.

07:10 <Schism> A classic.

07:10 * Golden tilts a cartridge, and begins to spasm.

07:11 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/jQE66WA2s-A

07:11 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

07:11 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about [HD] All Your Base Are Belong To Us

07:11 <Schism> Yanno, I have SM64, Mario Party 1, both Zeldas, and several other games, but I still have yet to acquire a cartridge for Goldeneye 64.

07:11 * ConfusionRift gasps at Schism.

07:11 <Schism> (Mario Party is locked in the cabinet of shame for breaking so many controllers.)

07:12 <Golden> And many palms.

07:13 <Schism> But really, while I've played it, GE64 ... I was never really a fan of it.

07:13 <Golden> Also at a local game/hobby store I found a full box copy of Earthbound for the Snes.

07:13 <Schism> !

07:13 <Schism> How much were they asking?

07:13 <Golden> 700$

07:13 <Schism> Pfffff.

07:13 <Schism> Fair price, but nope.

07:13 <ConfusionRift> Oh, by the by, that techno remix was made with the help of the DJ from The Laziest Men on Mars.

07:13 <Cepheid> Heh.

07:13 <Golden> Considering it looks like it still has shipping wrap around it I am surprised they aren't asking for more.

07:14 <Cepheid> I still remember the time it made it into the local news broadcast.

07:14 <Golden> The only damage is slight deterioration from age

07:15 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-0gbng9.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

07:16 <Golden> Though I have many ways to play Earthbound. So....idk if I will save up for it. After all I want to get a perfect grade Unicorn Gundam.

07:16 <Cepheid> https://youtu.be/BkHu7z6_uHs

07:16 <Schism> That seems like a better bet.  And you can always play Undertale, which is most assuredly not Earthbound or inspired by it in any way.

07:16 * ConfusionRift was reminded of something, and wants to check for any updates.

07:17 <ConfusionRift> Or Mothe- (gets bricked immediately)

07:17 <Schism> What, Mother 3?  I've never heard of such a game.

07:17 <Golden> I have Earthbound on my N2DS, and on my Wii U

07:18 <Koopz> pssst

07:18 <Golden> I have a reproduction cart of mother 3. (Insert *and here is where I would put my offically localized version of Mother 3! IF I HAD ONE!* meme here*)

07:18 * Schism boops Koopz with an Adamantoise. "Yes?"

07:19 <Koopz> has anyone seen the Steven Universe movie? o3o

07:19 <Golden> Yes

07:19 <Schism> I fear I've never actually watched SU.  I know, I know.

07:19 <Koopz> like

07:19 <ConfusionRift> I'm waaaaaay behind on that train.

07:19 <Koopz> online?

07:19 <Golden> Nope. I actually turned the channel to CN

07:20 <Koopz> D:

07:20 <Golden> Also the Movie is basically the end of the SU series. Though treated as it's own thing. It's better after seeing the full series. Which I have not.

07:21 <Golden> I have only seen like twenty episodes. The SU fandom has kinda kept my interest down by 0%

07:21 <Koopz> i've watched the whole thing but i'm not able to watch it on TV

07:22 <Koopz> now i'm frantically searching online for it

07:23 <ConfusionRift> I would like for Forza to put a regular truck that has the same grip and speed of a Formula 1. :P

07:23 <Koopz> but knowing that it actually aired on TV is actually a relief... someone surely recorded it

07:28 * ConfusionRift checks the dealer real quick. "...of course, Toyota. Of course. Wimps."

07:28 <Schism> You'd think that a truck would have a fair amount of grip, what with the weight.

07:29 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/YzN6DUQSWuk2RLe/status/1168787060808773633?s=19

07:29 <Schism> Hee, chipmunks.

07:30 <ConfusionRift> Oh. OH. A video loaded on Twitter?! Miracles!!!

07:31 <Cepheid> So, apparently, black squirrels are rare?

07:31 <Schism> Yup.

07:32 * Schism yawns, then reads this week's Whateley tale.

07:33 * Cepheid looks outside. Sees numerous black squirrels.

07:34 * Schism ... "That's... what?"

07:34 <Cepheid> Hmm?

07:34 <Schism> Black squirrels are a melanistic mutation.  How do you have MANY of them outside?

07:35 <Cepheid> No idea.  But it's the brown ones that are rare around here.

07:35 * Schism huhs.

07:35 <Cepheid> Like, one out of 20 are brown.

07:36 * Schism looks at some notes. "Oh. Ontario has populations of black squirrels which have displaced the red and grey varieties."

07:36 <Cepheid> Rest are all black.  That way across the whole city.

07:38 <Cepheid> My mother is currently mothering over one.  'Tis a baby, and she is feeding it peanuts regularly.  Swear that one of these days it is gonna run into the house and we are gonna have a new pet.

07:39 <Schism> I wonder how Spitfire and Tizzy would react.  Though cats have been known to be fine with squirrels under some circumstances.

07:40 <ConfusionRift> Some. In big capital letters.

07:40 <Cepheid> Hard to say. Spitfire likes watching the ones in the tree outside my window. Tizzy isn't much of a hunter.

07:40 <Schism> Well.  Squirrels are rodents, after all.  o3o;

07:41 <ConfusionRift> Eeeexactly.

07:45 <Cepheid> Must be really cold tonight.  Wearing a sweater, and I am not sweating like mad.  Getting sleepy though.

07:46 <Schism> It's a nice cool 13 where you are.

07:46 <Schism> Where I am, as well.  Hum.

07:51 <Koopz> \o/ found a link!

07:53 * Schism plonks an Amon's Hat on Koopz.

07:54 <Schism> The best loot in the whole of Syrcus Tower.

07:54 <ConfusionRift> Okay, something's wrong with this world generation in Terraria. It cut the dungeon in two with a separation of stone, having to mine through the floor and to the other section.

07:55 * Koopz walks around the chat room, presenting the hat that is bigger than himself

07:56 <Schism> It's true.  The hat is somehow bigger than the Lala that wears it.

07:56 <Schism> It's glorious.  :3

07:56 <ConfusionRift> "Behold, my 500 Gallon Hat!"

07:57 <Schism> Oh, it's not a gallon hat.  It's a PIMP hat.  With a wonderfully ostentatious feather.

07:58 <Schism> https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Amon%27s_Hat

07:58 <Schism> Plumage, even.

07:59 <Schism> Reason #1 why I will never roll a Viera or Hrothgar: they cannot wear that hat.

08:27 <ConfusionRift> Hahaha!

08:27 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmemes/comments/cymudh/rolling_a_nat_1_perception_check/?st=k03ki9kg&sh=29e2e49d Imagine this.

08:31 <Cepheid> Anyhow, yeah.  ConfusionRift, I made a new Factorio Server. 'Tis different and possibly a nightmare waiting to happen.

08:32 <Cepheid> I used RSO to change spawning of ore and bugs.  Essentially, I changed the ore scaling and exponent around a bit.  We start off with patches of ~40k ores of different types.  Go out, you'll see maybe 50k, up to 80k.  Go out further, the progression becomes apparent.

08:32 <Cepheid> Basically, no multi-million ore patches within spitting distance of the start.

08:33 <Cepheid> Bugs are accordingly fixed to scale similarly.  Bases start small, but it takes a long time for them to grow in size.  If you find a large base, it was a fluke of the RNG combining multiple bug bases into one.

08:35 <ConfusionRift> So it's gonna be minor at the start, and get really crazy further away from the starting point?

08:37 <Cepheid> Yeah, but the distance required will be excessive.

08:37 <Cepheid> It's meant to encourage trains. o3o

08:37 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmemes/comments/cynp66/but_the_loot/?st=k03kuah5&sh=e991aebf I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole..

08:38 <Finwe> Good forenoon, everpony.

08:38 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Messrs Cepheid and Schism.

08:38 <Finwe> o7

08:39 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

08:41 <Cepheid> At least I don't need any books this semester.

08:41 <Cepheid> All of my courses list their textbooks as "Just use the damned Internet and Google."

08:42 <Schism> That's convenient.  A little disturbing, but it beats paying $200 for a single-use course guide.

08:43 <Cepheid> Well, it's programming courses, and a Japanese course I have the textbooks for already.

08:43 <Cepheid> I've come to realize that, with very specific exceptions, relying on textbooks for programming is a waste of time and money.

08:43 <Cepheid> Resources exist online for learning most languages and APIs.

08:44 <Finwe> Indeed.

08:44 <Cepheid> Thus, the best programming books tend to be the one that cover concepts and techniques that aren't discussed online very much.  Like collision detection, or various programming design patterns.

08:44 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/cyrlvp/learn_sorting_algorithm_with_kronk/?st=k03l4nue&sh=ee4f856f By the way.

08:44 <Cepheid> Obviously, the sorting algorithms aren't accurate in regards to their speeds in that video, but it does visualize how they work.

08:45 <Schism> The Art of Computer Programming is all about algorithms.  o3o;

08:45 <Schism> Ew, bubblesort.

08:45 <Cepheid> Yeah.

08:45 <Cepheid> As for the ACP, yeah, it's a good series of books.  If you can get past the math.

08:46 * Schism flailyhooves, "It's ALL math!"

08:46 <Cepheid> Yes and no.

08:47 <Cepheid> Just because an algorithm has a runtime of O(n^2) or O(n) doesn't mean that one or the other is faster.  It certainly helps, but there are other factors to consider. :P

08:48 <Cepheid> An O(n) operation that takes 1 second per operation will still be slower than an O(n^2) operation that takes nanoseconds, up to a point.

08:48 <Schism> I know, I was being silly.  :P  

08:48 <Cepheid> Heh. :P

08:48 <Cepheid> This reality is one of the many issues with training new programmers and developers, these days.

08:49 <Cepheid> They only see the big-O notation, not the time the operations behind the notation take, among other things.

08:49 <Cepheid> Nor do they consider things like memory latency, architectural differences, and so on.

08:49 <Schism> It's for this reason that I still adore Zachtronics' games as a means to train programmers.

08:49 <Cepheid> Heh.

08:50 <Cepheid> It's actually hilarious looking at a developer when you explain how, legitimately, a bubblesort or insertion sort can be faster than a merge or quick sort.

08:51 <Cepheid> It's rare, but it's reality.  In certain situations, the "slower" algorithms can outperform the "faster" algorithms.

08:51 <Schism> Heh.  :S  Different algorithms are used for DIFFERENT PURPOSES.

08:51 <Schism> It's why we have a toolkit instead of a single wrench.

08:52 <Cepheid> The cause is primarily the complexity of the algorithm versus what is being sorted.  If the data set is small enough, an algorithm with a huge big-O might perform better because it uses less instructions than an algorithm with a low big-O that uses a lot more instructions, or has stalls due to memory accesses.

08:52 <Cepheid> I certainly wouldn't sort 4 billion integers with a bubblesort.  That'd take forever.

08:53 <Cepheid> But a small array of 10-20 integers?  Might be better to use bubblesort or insertion sort over a merge or quicksort

08:53 * Schism nodnods.

08:54 <Cepheid> In Zachtronics games meanwhile..

08:54 <Cepheid> This usually manifests as small-area, slow solutions, or large-area, fast solutions.

08:54 <Cepheid> Or low-cost solutions vs high-cost solutions, etc.

08:55 * Schism nods, "Cost, area, complexity, time..."

08:56 <Schism> I love how the game teaches the old adage of "Fast, Cheap, Small: pick two, if you're really lucky."

08:56 <Cepheid> Which itself is pretty expressive of how it works in programming.  A slow solution may be slow, but the memory it takes up may be minimal, if non-existent in terms of anything past registers.

08:56 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, a fast solution may require a lot of memory to run efficiently.

08:57 <Cepheid> The former lends itself to embedded machines.  The latter more towards devices with large amounts of RAM.

08:57 <Cepheid> Relatively large, anyways.

08:57 * Schism nodnods.

08:57 <Cepheid> To an embedded device, 4MiB might be large.

08:58 <Cepheid> It's interesting to note though that simply increasing stuff like register count doesn't necessarily make one processor faster or better than another.

08:58 <Cepheid> Case in point, ARM vs x86.

08:59 <Cepheid> Actually, bad example.

08:59 <Cepheid> Given x86 now has a wide array of registers that can be split up into sub-registers and such.

08:59 *** Joins: danwellby (danwellby@The.lone.griffon)

09:00 <Cepheid> RISC-V might be a better example.  32 Integer registers, 32 FP registers.  More than ARM or x86, assuming no special instruction sets are involved.  SSE and the like add a ton of registers to CPUs.

09:01 <Cepheid> 'Course, SSE and the like are a pain in the rear to use.

09:03 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, while MMX and SSE are nice, I find the documentation for them can be a little... weird.

09:04 <Cepheid> Describing SSE registers as 128 bits, but then saying that it's more accurate to see them as a set of 4 32-bit floating-point registers and such, is a good way to confuse your readers.

09:05 <Schism> It seems sensible enough to me, but I can see why that'd result in confusion.

09:05 <Cepheid> If you tried to perform a 128-bit addition using them, it wouldn't work as expected.

09:06 <Cepheid> SSE and MMX are what is known as single instruction, multiple data instruction sets.  SIMD for short.

09:07 <Cepheid> Basically, you pack multiple elements of a given bit size into two registers, and issue a single instruction, and it'll perform N operations in one instruction.

09:07 * ConfusionRift just noticed the music stopped.

09:07 * Schism puts on WRR101 again.

09:07 <Cepheid> For example, you load a vector, such as (0, 4, 5, 2) into register 1, then load vector (3, 2, 3, 4) into register 2.  You issue an add instruction.  The end result is a vector (3, 6, 8, 6).

09:07 <ConfusionRift> It's raining blood, there's an Aurora Borealis, and I just hear lightning and winds.

09:07 <Cepheid> Four additions performed in the time frame of one.

09:08 <Cepheid> MMX, SSE, AVX and the like are primarily best used when dealing with number crunching, vectors, matrices and such.

09:09 <Cepheid> Or accelerating operations known to be slow, such as doing 4 square roots in a single instruction instead of four individual square roots.

09:09 <Cepheid> Even then, if you want to accelerate square roots or calculations like sine and cosine, just use hack jobs.

09:10 <Cepheid> Super Mario 64, as I learned recently, abuses a hack job.

09:11 <Cepheid> The sine and cosine functions were too slow to perform, so they calculated a table of 1024 entries each for sine and cosine.  The table was used to approximate sine and cosine.

09:11 <Cepheid> Well, computed, not calculated.

09:11 <Schism> I was given to understand it uses a LOT of hack jobs.  But that one in particular, heh, leads to the TAS community breaking things spectacularly.

09:12 <Cepheid> Aaand I'm rambling.

09:12 <Schism> Weren't lookup tables like that the cause of the old Pentium floating point bug?

09:12 <Cepheid> Yeah, they were.

09:13 <Cepheid> A PLA used in the mathematics was programmed to have an array of 1066 elements, being -2, -1, 0, 1, or 2.  Apparently five cells that should have resulted in +2, resulted in 0.

09:14 * Schism nods.

09:14 <Cepheid> But yeah, lookup tables do limit the accuracy and can cause problems.

09:15 <Cepheid> But if you only need a certain level of accuracy, it can be sufficient.

09:17 <Cepheid> Finwe, random question for you.  Are there any mathematical systems that treat angle as a value ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 inclusive as 0.0 to 360.0, or 0.0 to 2 * PI?

09:20 <Cepheid> Hell, am I committing some sort of sin by doing so?

10:01 * Cepheid noms.

10:02 <Cepheid> What makes this game difficult at times is that you're effectively controlling two characters at once.

10:04 <Cepheid> ... This just screams boss battle.

10:05 * Schism heats up his leftover pineapple pizza.

10:06 <Cepheid> Yeah, even more a boss arena, now.

10:06 <Cepheid> Hum, Tartarus, C9.  Unknown type, too, I've never fought it.

10:11 <Cepheid> ... Huh.

10:11 * Schism leaves pizza in oven for 2 more minutes.

10:11 <Cepheid> So despite doing more damage and being better for larger, slower targets..

10:11 <Cepheid> Using the buster baton is not a good idea.  Use gun on large targets.

10:11 <Cepheid> Got an A rank against that boss.

10:12 <Cepheid> Getting better with synchronization attacks too.

10:20 <Lumindia> meow

10:21 * Cepheid still searches for goodies along the way to catching a crook, nevermind that the world around him is SLOWLY BEING CONVERTED INTO ELDRITCH ABOMINATIONS.

10:21 <Schism> Cepheid: Oh, relax and nom down on this delicious, nutritious meol.

10:24 <Cepheid> All that training paid off.  Killed a large monster I trained against earlier, and I was able to nom it without it hitting me.  S+ rank.

10:25 <Cepheid> This game has a system called IRIS.  I forget the meaning of the acronym.  I'll check it when I get back to HQ, as it's in the database.  Anyways..

10:25 <Cepheid> IRIS is what I want, in regards to a Google Lense-like system.

10:25 <Cepheid> It's basically a scanning/UI overlay that appears upon the world, and allows you to see things like heat signatures, and so on.

10:29 <Schism> Hmm.  o3o  Augmented reality as it were.

10:31 <Cepheid> Hmm.  Homonculus Beta.  C7.  So this should... in THEORY, be easier than the earlier boss.

10:32 <Schism> US military officials are now looking into using algorithms to decide when the nukes should be launched.  I can write an excellent algorithm for them.  It processes every record put to it in n(0) time, and returns the correct answer under every circumstance.  

10:34 <Schism> O(n) time*

10:40 <Cepheid> That didn't go as well as the last few bosses.

10:40 <Cepheid> Harder than C7 indicated.

11:45 <Cepheid> The hardest move to pull off in this game?  Chain bind.  Useful as hell, but requires splitting your mind into two separate movement patterns.

11:45 <Cepheid> Between the MC, and the legions, there's a translucent, blue chain.

11:46 <Cepheid> The main character can move independently from the legion, but you can control both at the same time.

11:46 <Cepheid> In order to chain bind, you have to encircle the enemy with the chain, which requires your character moving in one direction, and the legion in the other, if you want to do it quickly

12:48 <Cepheid> .. A polish town has, for a decade, only had female births.

12:48 <Cepheid> There's now a reward for a couple who gives birth to a boy.

12:48 <Cepheid> I'm... no scientist or statistician, but that seems statistically improbable.  I think an investigation might be warranted.

12:57 <Finwe> Cepheid: I don't think so. The gon scale divides the angle correspondig to a full circle into 400 degrees.

12:58 <Cepheid> Ah.

12:58 <Cepheid> That said, so long as the translation is done, there isn't really any reason we can't just use 0.0 to 1.0 for rotations in games, I guess.

12:58 <Cepheid> Aside from the extra work of doing the translation, really.

12:59 <Finwe> Yes, [0,1] is homomorphic to [0,2π].

13:00 <Finwe> The homomorphism being x -> x/2π.

13:01 <Finwe> Or, rather, [0,1), because of the periodical nature of the angle.

13:02 <RazorSharpFang> I've been on the internet for too long

13:05 <Cepheid> That said, we usually either clamp, or do some math to keep the value in the range 0.0 to 1.0 inclusive.  Since otherwise, you run the risk of FP accuracy breakdown.

13:07 <Cepheid> Nothing like watching something shudder violently because it's position is using floating point values that have exceeded the accuracy of the underlying type.

13:10 <Cepheid> Otherwise known as the Space Kraken in some games.

13:11 <Cepheid> Anyhow, I'm gonna go lay down, maybe take a short nap.

13:14 <Finwe> But in order to use sine and cosine you would still be forced to convert to radians.

13:15 <Finwe> Or modify the sine and cosine function to adapt to your unit of agle being 1/2π radians.

13:15 <RazorSharpFang> I think that only happens with floating point values.

13:15 <RazorSharpFang> Fixed points ones will just happily overflow.

17:33 <LibrarianofHope> nurgle bois are freaky bois

17:36 <LibrarianofHope> albeit for what amounts to a comceptual reality tumour he is nice about his ways

17:36 <Ali> My main problem with this story stuff is nothing new was given to nids when the new stuff came out

17:36 <Ali> They've been all blueberries or choasy jerks

17:36 <LibrarianofHope> whta can you give them?

17:37 <Ali> I don't know, more useful bugs

17:37 <Ali> Gaunts are meaningless now

17:37 <Ali> Both versions of them

17:37 <LibrarianofHope> story wise they cant do much, we dont even know what the hive mind is

17:38 <Ali> Storywise bugs are bugs

17:38 <Ali> But Gameplay wise they've gotten stale

17:38 <LibrarianofHope> everyone is getting models on the new camoagin, so maybe there

17:38 <Ali> There's no new Nid models

17:38 <Ali> They only gave us janked ones in a 6.5 edition update

17:39 <Ali> I don't think a single one of those model types are played

17:39 <LibrarianofHope> apparentlly every faction is getting new stuff in physic awakeming

17:39 <LibrarianofHope> rules and models

17:39 <LibrarianofHope> sounds rather promising

17:40 * LibrarianofHope had a sidethought of a death watch kill team painted in raid can colors to hunt them bugs

17:40 <LibrarianofHope> Adeptus Raid

17:46 <Ali> LibrarianofHope, I think over half the nid codex can use some rework

17:46 <LibrarianofHope> never read it

17:46 <Ali> As much as I love the camp and gun Nids of Kronos

17:47 <Ali> Its extremely powerful

17:47 <LibrarianofHope> whta do you think is the hive mind anyway?

17:48 <Ali> Tervigon is a useless monster that just suicides gaunts

17:48 <Ali> Malceptor wishes it had better psychic powers

17:48 <Ali> Toxicrine wishes it was good

17:49 <Ali> The elite one that I can't think of its name is terrible too

17:49 <Ali> Don't get me started on the Trygon/Mawloc

17:51 <LibrarianofHope> they look similar to me

17:51 <LibrarianofHope> ugly bugs

17:51 <Ali> And our fast attack choices are non existant

17:51 <Ali> Since they move the Harpy/Hive Crone to the flyer section

17:51 <Ali> And those two are terrible as well

17:51 <LibrarianofHope> the ripper swarms?

17:52 <LibrarianofHope> they look fast

17:52 <Ali> No rippers are the troop ankle biters

17:56 <Ali> Fast is just more warriors, raveners, gargoyles and spore mines

17:59 <LibrarianofHope> back hurts

17:59 <LibrarianofHope> my physical conditions is deplorable

18:02 * Ali rubs LibrarianofHope back

18:05 <Cepheid> Gah, my tongue is killing me.

19:54 <LibrarianofHope> you can resell them easy enough

19:55 *** Ali|Nap is now known as Ali

19:55 <Ali> Death to the space smurfs

19:55 * Ali noms on SunsetShimmer ankles instead

19:59 * SunsetShimmer squeaks

19:59 <Ali> Calgar LibrarianofHope

19:59 <LibrarianofHope> ohh

20:00 <Schism> Glowy heat pipes!

20:00 * Ali radiates heat on Schism

20:00 * LibrarianofHope swaps ali bug with empah grade newspaper

20:00 * Schism pipes lava through those fluiducts.

20:00 <Ali> Wrong game Schism

20:01 <Ali> I'm thinking of making a strip mine 'logic' area on the server probably tomorrow or so

20:01 <Ali> Just train out to those small patches, strip em clean, and dump em into steel chests

20:01 <Ali> Most only have 15-30k resources

20:02 <Schism> "Prevented playing Jesus and changing water into other fluids."

20:07 <OctaveSymphony> Primaris Calgar and Tigurius are wonderous models

20:08 <OctaveSymphony> But yeahhhh, the Heroes sets will be built and painted

20:08 * Ali hisses

20:08 * OctaveSymphony snugs Ali

20:09 <Ali> I don't like how much they baby the space marines

20:09 <Ali> I get the whole main major story

20:09 <Ali> But they neglect some other things

20:12 <Ali> Surprised they didn't finally retire them

20:13 <OctaveSymphony> Also... I kinda want Primaris Grey Knight models <<

21:56 <Cepheid> Mother, hearing that you are suffering from exhaustion, chills and chest congestion the day before classes start worries me.  I have spent most of my day in bed, exhausted, wearing a sweater and socks to combat the cold, and having minor coughing fits.

22:08 <LibrarianofHope> i been trying to get the amazon app equivalent to get me the broadside, they keep messing up
