00:29 <PinkieShy> Ali The wind is still blowing here, only seen like 50mph gusts
00:29 <Ali> Gotta love the news blowing crap out of proportions
00:30 <PinkieShy> our yard though is another story.. Tree branches all over the place so clean up (Joy...) and its flooded a little with a few puddles like The crocs i have stepping outside almost every where gets them filled with water.

00:43 <PinkieShy> Verizon this morning made me mad. Power was out and I had 2 bars lte and data would not work.. issue always happens but being a prepaid customer is the blame they said..
00:44 <PinkieShy> I wish it was illegal for them to slow any customer in a area under State of emergency..

01:50 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
01:50 <Cepheid> The first two assignments in damedev are god-awful simple.
01:51 <Schism> Input stuff?
01:51 <Cepheid> Some folks at my level of skill would probably declare it beneath them. o3o

01:51 <Cepheid> Draw a freakin' cube.
01:51 <Cepheid> That's it.
01:51 * Schism chuckles. "Well. Might as well just get 'em done."
01:52 <Cepheid> The second one is "Draw a few cylinders, and animate them using input."
01:53 <Schism> Same again, though to avoid concerns, might want to ask your prof if they want the assignments done in a specific way.

06:06 <Koopz> now there's two smol lalas in frog costumes in the raid
06:09 <Koopz> i bought a Razer Tartarus V2 and spent an hour placing my spells on it
06:09 <Koopz> until i ran out of keys
06:10 <Koopz> and tried to assign key combinations to the scroll wheel which didn't work in FFXIV
06:11 <Koopz> CTRL + F in an editor worked just fine but in the game the Shift just got discarded
06:11 <Koopz> and i needed replacements for Tab and Space
06:11 <Schism> Koopz, Hrothgar to Lala seems like a sideways choice.
06:12 <Schism> Also, pff. Mouse overlay for hotbars.
06:12 <Schism> My four hotbars are regular, ctrl, alt, and shift.

06:28 <Schism> It's probably for the best anyway. ._.
06:30 <Koopz> are keybinds stored with the layout?
06:31 <Koopz> i'm thinking about starting a new layout from scratch and make my hotbars reflect my Tartarus V2 layout
06:32 <Schism> I believe so, yes.
06:32 <Koopz> but it would be a massive pita if the keybinds are shared between them
06:33 <Koopz> how do you reach out to 6,7,8?
06:33 <Koopz> numpad?
06:34 <Koopz> you don't even use Q,E,R or F
06:34 <Koopz> what sorcery is this?
06:36 <Schism> I don't, no.
06:36 <Schism> Turns out that I have 6 well within scope.
06:37 <Schism> So I get 24 different buttons with a touch of my little finger. o3o
06:38 <Koopz> idk CTRL+6 sounds like a serious strain
06:39 <Schism> Your hands just aren't big enough.
06:40 <Koopz> probably

06:42 <Schism> (Nobody's hands are big enough for that. I cheat.)
06:44 <Schism> For the BLM, though, Manafont (shift-6) and lucid (shift-7) can't even be pulled anyway.
06:45 <Schism> Or they can, but they don't really DO anything.
06:46 <Schism> The setup that I've just shown is still a hot mess of really painful keys. Also, Koopz: I have very large hands.
06:49 <Schism> Oh, Koopz. That BRD layout? I don't usually use the keyboard for those. I hit those songs manually, with the mouse. I need to fix that.
06:50 <Schism> Can probably pull those off with 5, etc. better than I have it set.

15:15 <ADragonHoarding> Conflict of Interest is all over the current administration. Trump is nominally no longer running the businesses he had prior to taking the presidency, but given he just sent them over to his family members and has had family members as his representatives in political situations ... yeah.
15:16 <ADragonHoarding> For the Starbucks guy, the fact that he's a former rather than current CEO would probably fulfill the legal requirements to avoid a confict of interest
15:16 <ADragonHoarding> but in my opinion CEOs are bad leaders.
15:16 <ADragonHoarding> or rather, I should say that CEOs of big companies are bad leaders.
15:17 <Ali> Lets just look at the gaming industry for that!
15:17 <Ali> Bugthesda, EA, FIFA
15:25 <Cepheid> I find it hilarious that we now have a game company considered worse than even EA.
15:26 <Cepheid> Epic has gone from amazing developer to asshole company in a matter of days.
15:27 <RazorSharpFang> I'd say weeks, it's taken longer than days.
15:28 <Schism> Over the past few years, many companies have managed to slide into a 'worse than EA' slot, by dint of taking their business practices up to 11. Activision/Blizzard and Ubisoft are the most well-known offenders.
15:29 <Schism> What's Epic managed to do of late, though?
15:33 <RazorSharpFang> Refused to put game on the store unless it went exclusive with them
15:33 <Schism> Ah, right, the hard sell.
15:34 * Ali snuggles Cepheid!
15:35 <Schism> Sweeney & Co. are being rightfully villified for that particular tactic, though I do believe Jim Sterling has the right of it too, noting how it's the industry itself which allowed them to put that into practice.
15:36 <Schism> (While making sure to point out that it's still a vile little maneuver.)
15:36 <ADragonHoarding> The problem I have with "it's the industry itself which allowed them to put that into practice" is that many people will make the mistake of taking that to mean that, somehow, people don't really have a right to complain?
15:37 <ADragonHoarding> Whereas the appropriate response should be "Okay, the industry allowed it. So let's complain about that too, so people know we hate this and won't tolerate it."
15:37 <Schism> That... is where he went with that, yes.
15:37 <Schism> The latter, that is.
15:38 <Ali> So thoughts on that NBA 2k20 getting a PEGI 3 or E for everyone with heavily gambling influance?
15:38 <OctaveSymphony> Sweeney has given a carte blanche to piracy though
15:38 <OctaveSymphony> Can't hurt the devs since he's already guaranteed them the money from salves
15:39 <RazorSharpFang> I remember when games used to be about fun.
15:39 <Schism> Ali: It's nice that Europe's gaming commissions have stuck to their guns viz. microtransactions and preventing children from racking up hundreds of dollars on their parents' credit cards.
15:39 <RazorSharpFang> Or about exploring a neat or usual setting, theme, mechanic, or wanting to tell a story.
15:41 <Schism> RSF: Heard an observation the other day by an FF14 player that they were surprised the game had so little combat outside of dungeons, duties and the like, and that they went through several quests at a time with nothing but STORY.
15:41 <Schism> They weren't disappointed or anything, just bemused.
15:45 * Ali rolls around Schism and RazorSharpFang, this Factorio map is so different and she's all confused.
15:46 <Schism> Cephy set it up to be different!
15:46 * Schism fuzzles the Ali.
15:46 <Ali> I know, but there's a few minor kinks that have bugged me so far
15:46 <Ali> And yes, the bugs are included
15:47 <Ali> But the oil patches are extremely small, you get trickles of oil
15:47 * Schism places a small cliff between himself and Ali.
15:47 <Ali> The bugs are already up to medium size and even getting military te....
15:47 <Ali> CLLIIIIIIIFFFFFFFSSSSSS
15:47 * Ali throws cliff explosives wildly
15:48 <Ali> Also those are rare too
15:48 <Ali> I mean I like the idea of not being able to camp an area and win the game
15:48 <Schism> But a little much?
15:49 <Ali> Just evo factor and bug expansion is hurting things
15:49 <OctaveSymphony> I wants The Outer Worlds
15:49 <RazorSharpFang> Expansion is the real killer.
15:49 <RazorSharpFang> I almost never play with expansion on.
15:49 <Ali> Well you can adjust the time to where they expand stupid slow
15:50 <Ali> But yeah I don't fully enjoy having them move right back in blindly when you're not looking
15:51 <Ali> This mode does want me to test this single unloading zone thing for storage but I'm having to run around a huge walled off area to just keep the bugs out
15:52 <Ali> Cause who knows how long it'll take for the boiler pollution to evaporate
15:52 * Ali noms a RazorSharpFang
15:52 <RazorSharpFang> Have you set up panels and accumulators and set the boilers to only turn on when the accumulators are less than 25% or so?
15:53 <Ali> Circuits? What are those?
15:53 <Ali> I have over 100+ panels and about 30 accums
15:53 <Ali> Only think the base runs on <6MW
15:53 <RazorSharpFang> Just connect a green circuit to an accumulator that you plonk near the boilers, and connect it to an inserter.
15:54 * Ali boops RazorSharpFang, that means she doesn't have the tech and doesn't want to run around solo like crazy on that server.
15:54 <RazorSharpFang> You don't have circuitry yet? It's a green science technology.
15:54 <Ali> Its not like I understand it RazorSharpFang
15:54 <Ali> So I don't usually deem it a required tech

15:54 <RazorSharpFang> You don't need to understand it to use it anyway.
15:55 <RazorSharpFang> You can just connect it up, set it up, and forget about it.
15:55 <Ali> Or you just yoink the boiler inserters and call it a day :P
15:55 <RazorSharpFang> Actually, if you tell me the IP address and version, I can do it.
15:55 <Ali> Depends, how long are you gonna stay :P No circuit and run~
15:56 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe about a half hour? It is Midnight.
15:56 <Ali> Yeah, don't worry about it right now then
15:56 <Ali> Its not totally important since the boilers are offline
15:56 <RazorSharpFang> I also want to see how you're doing.
15:56 <Ali> And most of the miners are idle
15:56 <RazorSharpFang> Won't they go online at night?
15:57 <Ali> Nothing left to mine :P
15:57 <RazorSharpFang> No, the boilers.
15:57 <Ali> No inserters
15:57 <RazorSharpFang> Ah

15:59 <RazorSharpFang> Oh, you're running RSO
15:59 <RazorSharpFang> And here I thought you were running vanilla.
15:59 <Ali> RSO is why the mineral patches are so *yay* small
15:59 <Ali> Oil is found in single blops of 20%
16:00 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, I see we're using roundabouts again.
16:00 <Ali> Hey I like roundabouts
16:00 <Cepheid> Nah, not that, Ali.
16:00 <Cepheid> I meant for the server stuff.
16:00 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang: Yeah, RSO is being used to manipulate resource spawning.
16:01 <Cepheid> Resource spawns are heavily reduced in terms of richness, density, etc.
16:01 <Cepheid> There is still scaling, but it requires much greater distances to start seeing larger patches.
16:02 * LibrarianofHope does bambozzle glomp on ali
16:02 <Cepheid> Hum, I need to test see if that's working..
16:02 <Cepheid> One of you want to test an address for me?
16:04 <Cepheid> Ah hell with it, I'll just test it myself.
16:07 <Cepheid> If you are experiencing lag, I apologize.
16:08 <RazorSharpFang> Jokes on you I'm always lagging
16:11 <Cepheid> Ah, right.
16:11 <Cepheid> Australian.
16:12 <Cepheid> I actually wonder how the latency compares between Australia<->World and New Zealand<->World
16:12 <Cepheid> The two, as I understand it, are not the same country, so presumably, different handling of Internet services.
16:18 <ADragonHoarding> hm. I wonder if my lag issues with factorio will persist.
16:18 <ADragonHoarding> probably. I switched from Comcast to AT&T and that internet is slower.
16:19 <Cepheid> Hmm.
16:20 <Cepheid> I'd say run a long-term ping towards the server, and see what the packet loss and latency graph looks like.
16:20 <Cepheid> But you're at work right now.
16:22 <ADragonHoarding> yep.
16:22 <ADragonHoarding> I'll try and remember when I get home
16:22 <ADragonHoarding> I'm still on the minecraft kick.
16:22 <Cepheid> I'd say about 5 minutes of 1-second pings would be a sufficient test.
16:22 <Cepheid> Save the results, send it my way, and I'll parse it.
16:25 <ADragonHoarding> IIRc that's just a "ping <target>" in command prompt?
16:25 <ADragonHoarding> I've done it before, but I forget the syntax.
16:26 <Cepheid> Yeah, should just be that. If you want to do a timed run, I think there's options for it that you can check out under Windows with ping /?
16:26 <Cepheid> I can't check myself right now as I'm on my laptop.
16:27 <Cepheid> In fact, that reminds me.
16:27 <Cepheid> I need to set up my laptop in dual-boot. This will require backing stuff up and re-installing Linux, but it's a small price to pay.
16:30 <Cepheid> First things first then, backup of data.
16:31 <Cepheid> Heads up, I'm energetic and talkative today, so I apologize ahead of time for lots of talking.
16:31 <Cepheid> I only had regular-strength coffee left.
16:33 <Cepheid> Also, today I am feeling much, much better emotionally and psychologically.
16:34 <Cepheid> I suspect that CC2 presentation might have uplifted my mood a bit. I asked a couple of important questions I was curious about, and their responses were... nice.
16:41 <LibrarianofHope> yay
16:41 <Cepheid> The biggest one being "I know you're looking for university graduates, but it's gonna take me longer than a year to finish my university degree, but I have a college diploma, and two decades of self-taught programming behind me. Would you still consider me?"
16:41 <Cepheid> The response was... interesting.
16:41 <Cepheid> See, the presentation was being done by the community manager and the VP of the company.
16:41 <LibrarianofHope> im sore owo, been working out with my bro, he bought some funky strechy exercise thingie
16:42 <Cepheid> The VP's response was "Yeah, sure. I never went to college or university, and look at me now."
16:42 <Cepheid> More or less.
16:42 <Cepheid> It was translated from Japanese, as the community manager was doing translation.
16:42 <LibrarianofHope> did he knew you understood him sort of?
16:42 <Cepheid> The guy was vice president of CyberConnect2, and all he had was a high school diploma.
16:42 <Cepheid> And yeah, he knew some of us understood him somewhat.
16:43 <Cepheid> One of the first questions he asked was how many of us know Japanese or are learning it.
16:43 <LibrarianofHope> diplomas prove nothing
16:43 <Cepheid> Mmm.
16:43 <LibrarianofHope> you might have a shot at this
16:43 <Cepheid> The diploma, at best, just proves that you were able to pass exams, assignments and the like with a satisfactory score.
16:43 <Cepheid> It doesn't prove that you actually know how to do what you were trained to do.
16:43 <LibrarianofHope> right?
16:44 <Cepheid> I know this to be the case, now.
16:44 <Cepheid> After having done TA work..
16:44 <Cepheid> I've come to realize a lot of students rely on stackexchange and other such websites to solve their assignment problems.
16:44 <LibrarianofHope> im thinking myself what would i do if Black Library actually wanted to hire me
16:44 <Cepheid> Technically it's cheating, but it's allowed if you cite where you got the solution from.
16:44 <Cepheid> Which... upsets me.
16:44 <LibrarianofHope> would it be proper to ask for payments in miniatures?
16:45 <LibrarianofHope> im serious, i could get some good stuff
16:45 <Cepheid> Because when I see a student doing that getting an A+ on an assignment, when I get an A+ through hard work, it makes me feel like I wasted my time or did things wrong.
16:45 <Cepheid> LibrarianofHope, don't ever ask for stuff in lieu of payment.
16:46 <LibrarianofHope> umm
16:46 <Cepheid> You have bills to pay, and while you could sell what you're given, it's better to have a definite, for-certain payment that you can make use of.
16:46 <LibrarianofHope> in my case not really
16:46 <Cepheid> As for employment with Black Library..
16:47 <Cepheid> If CC2 is telling me that, without a university degree or complete understanding of Japanese, I could possibly be hired to one of their Japanese offices, I'm pretty sure even Black Library would possibly hire you.
16:47 <Cepheid> Just gotta prove yourself.
16:47 <LibrarianofHope> my objective in this part is to get the endorsment of a proved publisher, that would make selling my own work easier
16:48 <LibrarianofHope> money is a tool. not an objective
16:48 <LibrarianofHope> im trying to seriously decide if mentioning minoatures for payment, even as a joke, would be a reasonable way to show i love the lore
16:49 <Cepheid> For purposes of self-sufficiency, I would consider it a primary objective for the sake of living.
16:49 <Cepheid> Not as important as it is in the US, I admit.
16:49 <LibrarianofHope> mexico boi
16:49 <Cepheid> But if you're going to live on your own, have your own place, etc..
16:49 <LibrarianofHope> nope
16:49 <Cepheid> Money is kind of needed.
16:49 <LibrarianofHope> im mooching off my dad for the sake of my plan
16:49 <LibrarianofHope> everything is being considered
16:50 <Cepheid> You do realize that living off of your family won't last forever, right?
16:50 <LibrarianofHope> enough for my plans
16:51 <Cepheid> Mmm. Sorry if I'm sounding negative, I'm just... trying to be realistic, from where I'm sitting.
16:52 <Cepheid> I'll trust you to handle your situation properly, but I do hope you are aware of the concerns and risks involved with how you're doing things.
16:52 <LibrarianofHope> i am

"Yeah, but we were overengineering the safeties to keep there from BEING any danger."
21:09 <Schism> "Okay, and?" "Railgun." "... okay, now you MIGHT be under arrest..."

21:10 <LibrarianofHope> so we have a tau pony here
21:10 * LibrarianofHope likes rail guns
21:10 <LibrarianofHope> bigger the better
21:11 <Schism> Hoofheld railgun. Something only Earth ponies could genuinely use.
21:12 <Schism> Or a crew-served weapon with earth pony, pegasus (for electromagnetism!) and unicorn.
21:12 <LibrarianofHope> unity and frienship in harmony, for destructive weaponry
21:12 <LibrarianofHope> then problems wpuld be way lower
21:13 <LibrarianofHope> we have a monster again, shall i call twilight?
21:13 <Schism> I've read a fanfic where the CMC put up a trebuchet, just for funsies.
21:13 <LibrarianofHope> nah, get the railgun
21:13 <LibrarianofHope> if they had railguns the movie would have been solved in 5 minutes
21:14 <LibrarianofHope> give the broken horn lady a railgun prosthetic
21:14 <Schism> I'unno, Shining could probably put up a shield capable of stopping a tungsten rod dropped from LEO.
21:15 <LibrarianofHope> magitech, combine alicorn level energey with magic alloy
21:15 <LibrarianofHope> that should pack a punch
21:15 <LibrarianofHope> get discord to destabilize a cannon ball, potential nuke
21:15 <Schism> I have little enough reason to believe that the ponies (and assorted other races) are even capable of mass producing aluminium, let alone exotic metals.
21:16 <Cepheid> Hum. Three cans of caesar, and some somersby ciders of different types.
21:16 <Schism> Hm, the Mott's stuff?
21:16 <Cepheid> Yep
21:16 <Schism> Nice. I usually pack a mix, but I'm guessing you picked all extra-spicy.
21:16 <Cepheid> Feel like drinking to excess tonight. No idea why. Not upset or anything. Maybe I'm bored.
21:16 <LibrarianofHope> i wanna try marmite
21:17 <Cepheid> Won't be taking sedative as a result. Not that I'll need it.
21:17 <LibrarianofHope> seems like i would like i
21:17 <Schism> It's good, but if you try it, spread it VERY THIN on your toast, LibrarianofHope. Like, a dollop on the knife. Then take a bite.
21:17 <Schism> You'll either appreciate its umami flavour, or be completely disgusted.
21:17 <LibrarianofHope> there is fancy supermarket near, they might have it
21:18 <LibrarianofHope> i only know what umami is cause food wars
21:18 <Schism> It's also like $4 a jar. Don't worry, it's a small jar, but a little bit goes a long way.
21:18 <Schism> Cepheid: Every now and again, it helps to drink to excess to remind yourself of why you don't want to do that on a regular basis.
21:20 <Cepheid> Indeed.
21:21 <Schism> Also, Caesars are delicious.
21:23 <Schism> I'm a bit of an odd duck when it comes to the Somersby ciders. I like the mixed berry, but my brother finds them far too sweet. Meanwhile, I'm not much of a fan of the pear, because it's almost overwhelmingly dry, but he'll happily drink THOSE. C'est la vie.
21:23 <Cepheid> The blackberry one is too sweet for me.
21:23 <Schism> Well, I say mixed berry. Blackberry.
21:24 <Cepheid> I got a mix, I don't recall off hand.
21:24 <Schism> And heh.
21:24 <Schism> What a strange world it would be if we all liked the same drinks?
21:25 <Cepheid> Indeed.
21:25 <Cepheid> As it is, wines, beers and spirits are the odd duck for me.
21:25 <Schism> It kinda weirds me out how many people drink Fireball shots, though.
21:25 <Cepheid> All spirits taste the same to me. What changes is whether it burns going down. Wines, same deal, minus the burning.
21:25 <Cepheid> And beer is... a mixed... yeah.
21:26 <Schism> Beer is... a classification of beverage more than anything. I've had hefeweisens which went down like a cool spring morning, and stouts which sit on the stomach like a cannonball.
21:27 <Cepheid> Debating what game I should play tonight.
21:27 <Schism> I think you were considering Celeste. As you're drinking, a precision platformer seems like the best option.
21:27 <Cepheid> Streaming some Bomb Defusal while ADra tries to get me to describe and do things would be interesting. But that might be more annoying for him than anything else.
21:28 <Schism> Meanwhile, I've done tech support, which removes half the fun of me stumbling over my words.
21:30 <Schism> "That's Yankee, Oscar, Uniform, apostrophe, Romeo, Echo."
21:31 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:31 <Cepheid> I'll give Celeste a try.
21:31 <Schism> Remember to use a controller.
21:32 <Schism> Though it's perfectly viable with a keyboard.
21:33 <Cepheid> Honestly though, the more twisted the game, the better.
21:33 <Cepheid> The more I have to cope with, the more interesting things are.
21:33 <Schism> Yeah, but if I suggest something like I Am Bread, you're likely to defenestrate everything but your cat.
21:35 <Schism> Ultimately, though, Celeste has very simple mechanics. Run, jump, climb, dash. Those are the four commands.
21:36 <Schism> It's everything ELSE that you have to cope with.
21:37 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:38 <Schism> But... at the same time, it's NOT as bad as Getting Over It.
21:38 <PinkieShy> After all the branches that fell yesterday..
21:38 <PinkieShy> and the front door was leaking..
21:38 <PinkieShy> We need to get out of this mobile home and find something better..

21:42 <ADragonHoarding> Schism: "yankee, oscar, uniform, apostrophe, romeo, echo" wastes time.
21:43 <ADragonHoarding> "you're contraction" is a four syllable phrase.
21:43 <ADragonHoarding> similarly, "your possessive"
21:44 <Schism> Yes, but that might cause confusion, requiring more explanation.
21:44 <ADragonHoarding> Only the first time.
21:44 <Cepheid> Heh. In any case, I can't really start drinking 'til later, 'cause parents want to watch a movie later tonight, so I'll wait until after that.
21:44 <ADragonHoarding> once you have established the terms
21:44 <Schism> When you're trying to stop a bomb from exploding, you only get one time!
21:44 <ADragonHoarding> So then you go "You're contraction - yankee..." etc.
21:45 <Schism> And heh, it's a party game anyway. :S You can expect to see more laypeople.
21:45 <ADragonHoarding> indeed.
21:45 <ADragonHoarding> But since you're a fellow professional
21:45 <Schism> I know, I know.
21:45 <ADragonHoarding> additionally, as a professional, I can speak to the efficacy of strategy I have outlaid.

21:57 <Schism> Cepheid: Ne?
21:57 <Cepheid> Nah, just warm.
21:58 <Schism> Ah.
21:59 * Cepheid grabs Celeste on the PC, so he can stream it.
22:00 * Schism looks forward to watching.
22:00 <Cepheid> ... Huh
22:00 <Schism> Hm?
22:00 <Cepheid> Flu season might beat the vaccine arriving in Ottawa.
22:01 <Schism> Yeah, there's a lot of folks with a really pointed cough floating around. I'm going to get mine the MOMENT it arrives in the local Shoppers'.
22:02 <LibrarianofHope> least we dont get antivaxxers in mexico
22:02 <LibrarianofHope> owo
22:02 <Cepheid> I plan to get mine ASAP, but knowing me, I'll contract it before I get the vaccine.
22:02 <Schism> Also, Cephy, there is ONE trick I've learned for movement while playing Celeste, and it's not illustrated in-game to the best of my knowledge. Would you like to know it?
22:02 <Cepheid> Right then...
22:02 * Cepheid goes to set up modded server.
22:02 <Cepheid> Schism: Sure.
22:03 <Schism> Dashing diagonally into the ground, and then jumping immediately, lets you preserve your momentum and basically rocket forwards. This isn't necessary to beat the game, but it's a very useful little maneuver.
22:04 <Cepheid> Yeah, I noticed that.
22:04 <LibrarianofHope> been hearing an audibbok about micheal eisner all week
22:04 <LibrarianofHope> fascinating stuff, still not clear if the man was smart or a "redacted"
22:05 * Schism nodnods.
22:05 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, many people are very intelligent in a number of ways, and a complete... [yay]head in others. Just look at me.
22:07 <LibrarianofHope> im a history buff, and this whole mess is fascinanting
22:07 <LibrarianofHope> its hard to get a picture with only the business side to work with, but its fun
22:07 <Schism> It's good that the book doesn't paint him as a supergenius in everything, or a complete villain. People are a complicated mess.
22:07 <Schism> And so is history!
22:08 <LibrarianofHope> at least the lord farquadd thing, is kinda justified
22:08 <LibrarianofHope> katzenberg had grounds to feel like that

22:11 <PinkieShy> those dang Jeep memes are still happening on FB..
22:11 *** Quits: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-13k.tl5.105.130.IP) (Quit: qicr for android: faster and better)
22:11 <PinkieShy> Just saw one just now with a red toy jeep inside a ziploc bag with rice with the text "24 hrs and... It'll be as good as new"
22:12 <Schism> At least it's a comparatively harmless meme.
22:13 <LibrarianofHope> how is that a meme?
22:14 <LibrarianofHope> is not funny
22:14 * Schism shrugs, "It's a widespread cultural artifact which has gotten into a lot of heads. As such, it's a memetic virus."
22:14 <PinkieShy> Let me get you a link to a meme i shared..
22:14 <PinkieShy> Its of the jeep XD
22:14 <LibrarianofHope> yes please
22:14 <PinkieShy> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EDvwwWsWsAA1SpU?format=jpg&name=medium
22:15 <Schism> The term 'meme' doesn't necessarily describe something which is funny. More, it describes something that gets into your head and convinces you to share it with someone else.
22:16 <LibrarianofHope> i lacked context, now i get it
22:16 <LibrarianofHope> its silly
22:16 <Schism> That's still not required. :P

22:20 <LibrarianofHope> Them Foundation bois cant afford me
22:20 <Cepheid> I cannot guarantee the performance of the server, but I got an Industrial Revolution server running.
22:20 <Schism> See, that's just what Antimemtics is against. They need to keep the unknown unknown.
22:20 <Schism> And for very good reason.
22:20 <LibrarianofHope> different organization goals
22:20 <LibrarianofHope> my library has the tools to kill the monsters
22:21 <LibrarianofHope> i am using this principle in a serious way
22:21 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, not these monsters. They keep themselves out of books, because they're purest information, and no books can contain them. They hide in the corners of your imagination, and there's absolutely not one behind you right now.
22:22 <LibrarianofHope> in the real world,things like the slenderman incident could have been prevented by limiters
22:22 <Cepheid> The modded server is at the same address, port 25050. Not sure if it'll work out of the box.
22:22 <Schism> How do you stop an idea?
22:22 <LibrarianofHope> by rendering it known
22:22 <LibrarianofHope> momo, for example
22:22 <Schism> That just makes sure the idea gets spread.
22:23 <LibrarianofHope> not quite, momo if explained as a bird statue loses the unknoen factor
22:23 <LibrarianofHope> slenderman exlained as a photoshop
22:23 <Schism> You can replace it by supplanting it with a better idea. That doesn't work for everything, though.
22:23 <LibrarianofHope> thats what im working on, it works on horror and creepypasta, whisch is my focus
22:24 <Schism> But then, Librarian. What about an idea so powerful, so likely to break everything, that it can never be known?
22:24 <Schism> One which makes a point of never letting anyone who knows about it live?

22:25 <Schism> Antimemetics works with those mutants. Those which can't be known, and choose not to be. o3o
22:26 <LibrarianofHope> my point is, horror is not in itslef wrong
22:26 <LibrarianofHope> just dont present it as truth to people that cannot tell the difference
22:26 * Cepheid takes a look at Industrial Revolution offline in the meantime. o3o
22:26 <Schism> Okay, okay.
22:27 <LibrarianofHope> SCP is fun, but they explicitly say its not real
22:27 <LibrarianofHope> for those that do not, there is me to render them to light
22:27 <LibrarianofHope> and matpat, he good too
22:28 <LibrarianofHope> not sure if others are acting on this ideas as i am
22:28 <Cepheid> Wow. This is... a pretty complete mod.
22:29 * Schism places a TV show in front of LibrarianofHope. It's a children's show named Candle Cove. Perfectly innocent.
22:29 <Cepheid> ... Ali won't like the pollution generated by these machines.
22:29 <Schism> Little profound, that?
22:30 * LibrarianofHope has already hunted that down, target silenced
