02:13 <Schism> No need for strange rules, Cepheid. Just go for the strawberries when you find them. o3o
02:15 <Schism> They disappear when you dash. o3o
02:17 <ADragonDreaming> delay? Of course, you're drunk.
02:17 <Schism> I promise, I shan't give you any bad advice here.
02:18 <Schism> For example, going in other directions is rarely a bad idea, to explore.
02:19 <ADragonDreaming> noice.
02:19 <Schism> Also, once you collect a strawberry, it's yours.
02:19 <Schism> Even if you die on the screen, it'll not be an issue.
02:20 <Schism> Ho there!
02:21 <Schism> I believe this takes place in British Columbia, a land famed for its mountains.

02:21 <ADragonDreaming> heh.

02:22 <ADragonDreaming> ...yolo? That's a pull.
02:22 <Schism> Cepheid: Hold the climb button, and you can crawl up walls.
02:22 <PinkieShy> I'll say this.. I missed being online on a computer with a real keyboard yesterday lool
02:23 <Schism> That wall, you can't get up though.
02:23 <PinkieShy> Smartphones are great and all but their touch keyboards are annoying as heck.
02:23 <Schism> Cepheid: I certainly didn't get impaled on that first set of spikes 50 times in a row or anything.
02:28 <Schism> If you don't hit spikes in the direction they're ... *pointy*, then you won't get killed.
02:29 <Schism> You're doing infinitely better than I.
02:30 <Schism> I swear it.
02:32 <Schism> If you get to this room's exit, you can come back from the other side.
02:33 <Schism> Then...
02:33 <Schism> Hm. No, nevermind. Bad idea.
02:34 <Schism> Crud, sorry. :< Well, chapters have checkpoints. You can return to this screen more easily on a replay.
02:35 <Schism> There it is!
02:36 <Schism> I failed this screen -so many times-.
02:37 <Schism> This one, too.
02:39 <Schism> You've got the hang of the timing for those damned platforms WELL before I did.
02:40 <Schism> Still swear you're doing better than I did.
02:41 <Schism> They really don't.
02:42 <Schism> The only thing strawberries are for is 100% completion.

02:47 <Schism> And, ah. No. No map.
02:47 <Schism> Yeah, slamming into a wall THROUGH a dream block will wipe you out.
02:48 <Schism> Also, when you exit a dream block, your jumps reset.
02:48 <ADragonDreaming> that's tricksy
02:51 <Schism> Strawberry seeds go back to their original position when you stand on the ground.
02:53 <Schism> Why indeed? o3o

02:58 <Schism> Also, you're doing that section MUCH more easily than I.
02:58 <Schism> And yup. Five this time.
02:58 * Ali squeaks
03:00 <Schism> Ali: Cephy is playing Celeste. o3o;

03:01 <Schism> It's fun watching him curse his way through. ^^;
03:01 <Schism> Hi phone.
03:02 <Schism> She's not in a coma. X3
03:03 <Schism> You can't read things in dreams.
03:06 <Schism> Cepheid. If you use the climb button and hit the top of a wall, you'll crawl over it.
03:07 <Schism> Oh, or at least can jump over it.
03:07 <Schism> I mean for simply scaling walls.
03:08 <Schism> That isn't a clue or anything, that was from a few rooms back.

03:09 <Schism> Don't worry. You can't get that one right now.
03:11 <Schism> Well done! o3o
03:11 <Schism> That was two chapters.
03:12 <Schism> It's okay. I died over 200 in the first go.
03:12 <Schism> Went for more strawberries, though.
03:12 <Schism> Also, if you go back to prior chapters...
03:12 <Schism> You can visit sections to get those strawberries.
03:15 <Schism> Also: You dash diagonally down WHILE you're on the ground.
03:18 <Schism> You can also use that, if you execute a frame-perfect jump (or close) upon landing, to dash across the whole damn room.

03:28 <Schism> It's kind of funny, the shocked, innocent look the dust bunnies have when Madeline disintegrates against them.
03:29 <Schism> Cepheid, give the damned strawberry a pass for... --

03:45 <Schism> What Cepheid is playing now, for edification of the audience, is the original "Celeste", a gamejam project produced which was the prototype for the full game everyone knows and loves.
03:47 <Schism> It is nailbitingly hard.
03:51 <Schism> Yup. o3o You recover your dash after hitting a bounce pad.

03:57 <Schism> For some reason, I imagine Cepheid is having more fun playing this cheap, lo-rez version of Celeste than the other game.
03:58 <ADragonDreaming_> what other game?
03:59 <Schism> The professional release of Celeste.
03:59 <Schism> Like LucasArts did with Maniac Mansion, the devs put the original PICO-8 version of Celeste into the full game.
04:06 <Schism> They did not make it any less difficult.
04:09 <Schism> In fact, I'm starting to wonder if they upped the difficulty solely for Cepheid's benefit.
04:10 <Schism> (The PICO-8 version is freakin' HARD.)

04:26 <Schism> Ah. The Alexandrian solution
04:26 <Schism> If you can pull that one off.
04:27 <Schism> Nicely done.
04:28 <Schism> Try the diagonal dash here.
04:28 <Schism> Or that. o3o
04:30 <Schism> Cepheid: I did the same exact thing.
04:31 <Schism> Heh. That puzzle annoyed the devs so much they made it optional. I think.
04:36 <Schism> Yup, that damned berry.
04:37 <Schism> Nicely DONE!
04:39 <Schism> Cut out during that, I fear.
04:42 <Schism> It's gotta feel satisfying to stomp on those bookblobs.
04:42 <Schism> Just up the elevator, Cepheid.
04:49 <Schism> What! To ignore those strawberriess...!
04:50 <Schism> This room led to quite a number of deaths. If you're quick, you can do the downwards dash, then preserve momentum quickly enough to---

05:10 <Cepheid> Guh.
05:10 <Schism> Probably for the best. X3
05:10 <Schism> So, ladies and gents, this is Celeste. A game about an amateur mountain climber running from a spooky vampire ghost who runs a haunted hotel and would've gotten away with it, too.
05:11 <Schism> If not for that girl. And her Theo.
05:12 <Schism> So, Cepheid, how much do you hate me?
05:12 <Cepheid> Surprisingly, I maintained an incredible amount of calm despite my cursing and swearing.
05:12 <Cepheid> So not all that much.
05:13 <Cepheid> I gave up on the strawberries after a point though.
05:13 <Schism> Yeah, you were pretty chill. Much more than most. And yeah, that's for the best. Half those strawberries ... UGH.
05:13 <Cepheid> But is the PICO 8 version really that difficult?
05:13 <Schism> Well, it's on par with the game itself.
05:13 <Schism> As for the crystal hearts, they do have a thing.
05:14 <Schism> Unlike the strawberries, there IS a point to the hearts.
05:14 <Cepheid> Yeah.
05:14 <Cepheid> I know.
05:14 <Schism> Have fun, however, finding your way to the heart in chapter 2.
05:14 <Cepheid> I suspect the secret to the hearts resides within the B-sides.
05:15 <Schism> Gods, the B-sides... *facedesk*
05:16 <Schism> Cepheid, you've unlocked a B-side. May you please load it up real quick?
05:18 <Cepheid> Not on a stream, but sure.

05:22 <Cepheid> Ah.
05:23 <Cepheid> Mmm. Actually, the first few rooms of Chapter's 2 B-side were easier than the A-side.
05:23 <Schism> Hmm.
05:23 <Schism> Chapter 1's were a hellscape.
05:25 <Cepheid> I did not unlock Chapter 1, that's why I started at Chapter 2.
05:25 <Cepheid> Anyways, I'll continue this conversation downstairs. I need food and drink in me before I go to be.d

12:16 <ADragonDreaming> simple storage network is a way to see inventories

12:18 <Schism> Yeah, the modset doesn't really do much with power. I'm still not sure if that's good or bad.

12:18 <Schism> Yeah. Well. ... okay, it doesn't START with power.
12:18 <ADragonDreaming> correct.
12:19 <Schism> A lot of modsets set power up as the first hurdle to jump.
12:21 <ADragonDreaming> if you want mystical agriculture you must do a manual mob farm or go to the hunting dimension.

12:24 <ADragonDreaming> aye
12:24 <ADragonDreaming> of course you would have needed some farm of weapon killing setup to get mob chunks
12:25 <ADragonDreaming> hmm... forester seems fiddly.
12:26 <Schism> Forester, if memory serves, relies very heavily on beehives, which were ALWAYS fiddly.
12:26 <ADragonDreaming> that's forestry

12:42 <ADragonDreaming> filters can only allow a certain number of items into the inventory. Item count is per item on the filter list.
12:44 <Schism> Bleh. Adra, I know you have, but Lumindia, have you ever played URU Live?
12:44 <ADragonDreaming> I have not, actually.
12:44 <ADragonDreaming> I have played the myst games
12:44 <Schism> Oh. I'm surprised. After all, URU is free these days.
12:45 <Schism> And a free puzzle game like that seems right up your alley, Adra.
12:48 <ADragonDreaming> it's more a case of forgetting it exists.
12:48 <Lumindia> URU?
12:48 <ADragonDreaming> usually I only remember when you talk about it, and usually I'm doing other things.
12:48 <Schism> Well, I can't argue with that.
12:49 <Schism> Lumindia, it's MYST Online: URU Live. Which is free. And still being maintained, against all odds. Some years ago, it was an MMORPG of some note, but Cyan (and, by extension, it) fell by the wayside as Ubisoft's projects tended towards the shooty.
12:49 * Cyan_Spark blinks?
12:49 <Schism> Different Cyan. Game company.
12:49 * Cyan_Spark nods and goes back to his game company
12:50 <Schism> The puzzling game company, once aligned with Broderbund. o3o;
12:51 <Schism> Unless, of course, Cyan_Spark is Rand or Robyn Miller in mufti. Which I wouldn't rule _out_, but I doubt we have such a high profile in this channel.
12:51 <Lumindia> Broderbund... that sounds familiar
12:52 <Cyan_Spark> X3
12:52 <Schism> Lumindia, 1990s edutainment company. You've probably seen their name associated with Carmen Sandiego.
12:53 <Schism> They flamed out hard a couple years back.
12:53 <Lumindia> OH DAMN they did Thinkin' Things
12:53 <Lumindia> I loved that
12:54 <Schism> They published a lot of awesome things. X3;
12:55 <Schism> One of the biggest works on their docket was the MYST series of games, produced by Cyan (again, not you). That one was practically a killer app for the Mac at one point.
12:55 <Schism> It was certainly a killer app for the CD-ROM.
12:56 <Lumindia> doot
12:57 <Schism> Anyway. o3o Myst Online: URU Live was an MMO released in the mid '00s, and while it never managed to work out (a puzzle MMO? Nice try), it did still manage a fanbase. And it's worth playing.
12:58 <Schism> On its own, it's a perfectly solid puzzle game with a few quirks.
12:58 <Lumindia> m e o w
12:58 <Schism> You've never been a Mi'qote, Lumin.
13:00 <Schism> Also, I can never be an Au Ra. Not after seeing... that child just staring at Tesleen.
13:02 * Moongoodboy picks Cyan_Spark up from the wayside and gently dusts him off ;-;
13:02 * Cyan_Spark mewls
13:08 * Filly_Nightmares lays on Cyan_Spark
13:08 * Cyan_Spark mrp?
13:08 * Filly_Nightmares uses Cyan_Spark as a bed and Lumindia as a blankie
13:09 <Lumindia> <3
13:09 * Lumindia softs lots
13:09 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/aHf6aO6.jpg
13:09 <Lumindia> also I am a miqo'te

15:00 <Schism> I return from... a surprisingly good breakfast.
15:00 <Schism> Also. Lumindia -- you are a mi'qote? I am surprised.
15:00 <Lumindia> yeah
15:00 <Lumindia> been once since I joined
15:01 <Lumindia> also https://i.imgur.com/N1wKloz.jpg cursed image
15:01 <Schism> I would have figured you for a Roegadyn.
15:01 <Schism> Oh. Boyqote.
15:01 <Lumindia> yeah
15:01 <Lumindia> because I play my own gender
15:01 <Lumindia> >.>
15:02 <Schism> Catboi! *shakes, pointing accusing finger*
15:02 <Lumindia> what's wrong with them? :V
15:02 <Schism> All the male mi'qote I've ever seen are jerks. :< Or DRK.
15:03 <Schism> I mean, you're sharing company with the guy who gave you grenades to blow himself up, and that jerkface with the mask who wanted to enslave the beast tribes.
15:03 <Lumindia> ... I'm unfamiliar with that last one
15:03 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/2D86pJ0.png
15:04 <Lumindia> but that's my warrior glam
15:04 <Schism> Oh, and the Exarch. Who is the BIGGEST jerk.
15:04 <Lumindia> Excuse you the Exarch is a precious boy!
15:04 <Schism> What! Nonsense, G'raha Tia is the jerkiest jerkface who ever jerked!
15:06 <Schism> Putting that aside, um... Lumin? Did you never finish the ARR beast tribes?
15:06 <Schism> Or the HW ones, or the SB ones?
15:07 * Cepheid awakens.
15:07 <Schism> Welcome back, Cepheid! Now, let me guide you to our wonderful Presidential suite.
15:07 <Cepheid> Heh.
15:07 <Cepheid> I... think I'll pass.
15:07 <Cepheid> I'm just on my way through.
15:08 <Schism> (oh, dear! Schism, you're losing him!) That's... that's okay! I'll be happy to show you the way, just follow closely~
15:08 * Schism floats off through several rooms of deathtraps.
15:09 * Cepheid opens a door nearby, enters, and appears outside on the far side of the building.
15:09 * Schism implodes.
15:11 <Schism> Still surprised you didn't use the hyperjump at all in your playing last night. Though certainly, trying it while three sheets to the wind might have been inadvisable.
15:11 <Schism> s/hyperjump/hyperdash/
15:13 * Schism dashes downwards and towards the ground, then jumps, and winds up impacting the wall at 600MPH.
15:14 <Cepheid> I did try it at one point but I misunderstood the explanation.
15:14 <Schism> I probably didn't explain it very well, either.
15:14 <Cepheid> Nah, you did.
15:15 * Cepheid loads up Industrial Revolution to toy with it. o3o
15:16 <Cepheid> These production chains are... immense.
15:17 <Cepheid> This is gonna result in some large factories, or many sub-factories.
15:18 <Lumindia> and no, I haven't done the ARR beast tribes
15:19 <Lumindia> or the HW ones apart from moogles
15:21 * Cepheid uses a coal-powered lab to research. o3o
15:21 <Cepheid> This mod... creates a lot of pollution. o3o
15:21 <Cepheid> You start off in the copper age, with no power plants.
15:21 <Cepheid> Everything is powered via coal.
15:21 <Schism> Oh, I suggest you do them at some point, Lumindia. They offer many a benefit... including moogle slippers. And suits of clothing. And minions and mounts!
15:22 <Schism> Cepheid: ...yup, that'll make a nice cloud.
15:22 <Schism> Lumindia, surely you want to dress up like a Kojin. o3o;
15:23 <ADragonDreaming> how does it affect bugs?
15:23 <Lumindia> I did the SB stuff
15:23 <ADragonDreaming> the mod, I mean
15:23 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: No, it doesn't change them at all.
15:23 <Cepheid> I checked by creating a test map and pollution the world to the point of 1.0 evo factor.
15:23 <Cepheid> We got standard bugs, but it seems we also have new turrets.
15:24 <Cepheid> Their speed and damage is more reasonable.
15:24 <ADragonDreaming> I see.
15:24 <Cepheid> They fire 1 round/sec, and have no damage bonus on the clips.
15:24 <Cepheid> Much as I'd play on the server with it right now, A) No one else is available for it, and B) I need to get some idea as to how it works first.
15:25 <Cepheid> In any case, long story short, this mod slows down things considerably.
15:25 <Cepheid> There are a lot of intermediates for all the buildings, smelting takes 38.4 seconds(But it produces 12 ingots at a time), and... yeah.
15:26 <Cepheid> Lets look at the tech tree for interesting bits..
15:26 <Cepheid> Steampunk robots.
15:27 <Cepheid> Accessible from.. Wow. That's early.
15:27 <Cepheid> Bronze Age, which is just three techs from the start of the game.
15:27 <Cepheid> But they're burner-based, sounds like.
15:28 * ADragonDreaming turns blaze powder back into blaze rods with an uncrafting grinder.
15:29 <Cepheid> Geezus effin hels.
15:29 <ADragonDreaming> hm?
15:29 <Cepheid> There's a "chest" with 800 slots of storage.
15:29 <ADragonDreaming> haha
15:29 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, there's a few mods that add some ridiculously large storage options.
15:29 <Cepheid> Electric locomotives.
15:29 <ADragonDreaming> Bio industries, for example, does similar, with ever larger wooden chests.
15:30 <Cepheid> Yeah, this here is a total conversion. As in, it's meant to be used by itself.
15:30 <ADragonDreaming> aye
15:30 <Cepheid> Okay, let's see what this Chrome Age has..
15:31 <Cepheid> Mmm, that's where Nuclear starts.
15:31 <Cepheid> So that's extreme late-game power, then.
15:32 <Cepheid> Solar's in the steel age, but there's two levels of it too.
15:32 <Cepheid> One that generates 75kW, and another that generates 300kW.
15:33 <Cepheid> Oh, ow.
15:33 <Cepheid> Nuclear is balanced in an interesting way.
15:33 <Cepheid> Each nuclear reactor needs 40MW of power.

15:34 *** ChanServ sets mode: +qo Ali Ali
15:34 <Cepheid> Actually, that's less "interesting" and more "realistic"
15:35 <Cepheid> Since nuclear power plants need electricity to run in the first place in the real world.
15:36 <Cepheid> Oh, wait, that's energy consumption. Not electrical energy consumption. Fuel cells provide energy, right.
15:37 * Ali yawns and flops next to Cepheid
15:38 * Lumindia pats Ali
15:38 <Cepheid> Hello Ali.
15:38 <Lumindia> Hai
15:38 * Ali yawnsies and wavies
15:38 <Cepheid> I'm discussing that Industrial Revolution mod.
15:38 <Ali> No kidding :P
15:38 <Cepheid> Seems to really lengthen the game a considerable amount, while balacing out things.
15:39 <Ali> Factorio is pretty well balanced in ways, but vanilla does have a few flaws
15:40 <Cepheid> Power gen being one of them, mainly.
15:40 <Ali> Eeyup
15:40 <Ali> Steam is death sentence if you're in a desert
15:40 <Ali> Solar is just space extravaganza
15:40 <Ali> Nuke is.... um.....
15:41 <Ali> matertial heavy?
15:41 <Ali> Once Nuke gets automated its a sit and forget thing
15:42 <Cepheid> Thanks, nVidia, I needed that.
15:42 <Ali> Though the ammo types feel very weak once you get to medium sized bugs
15:42 <Cepheid> Lost all of my progress 'cause video card crash.
15:42 <ADragonDreaming> oof
15:42 <Cepheid> Ali, you are probably not gonna like this mod, regarding bugs.
15:42 <ADragonDreaming> autosaves though
15:42 <Ali> Remember kids to save often
15:42 <Cepheid> Mmm, right, thanks ADragonDreaming.
15:42 <Cepheid> That said, I'll start tinkering around on the server anyhow.
15:42 <Cepheid> Industrial Rev server that is.
15:43 <Cepheid> I need to make sure the setup I'm using functions well.
15:43 <Ali> What you don't want to kill me with the vanilla one :P
15:43 <Cepheid> Hmm. Can't even connect to the server anymore.
15:43 <Ali> Wut
15:44 <Cepheid> The regular server's fine.
15:44 <Cepheid> I'm speaking of the new Industrial Revolution server I set up.
15:45 <Cepheid> Hum, says it's still up.
15:46 <Cepheid> ... Oh.
15:46 <Cepheid> Wrong port number. o3o
15:46 <Cepheid> If you want to check it out, same address, port 25050
15:47 <Ali> Derp derp derp
15:47 <Ali> Do I need to download the mod or will the server do it on join?
15:47 <Cepheid> Given it just asked me to synchronize with the server, it should be automatic.
15:48 <Ali> Also Luna aggro
15:48 <Cepheid> Something something it's a cat.
15:49 <Cepheid> By the way, amazingly?
15:49 <Cepheid> No hangover.
15:50 * Ali hangs over Cepheid, she's a funny one right?
15:50 <Cepheid> :P
15:50 <Cepheid> I mostly avoided the hangover by drinking like, 3 or 4 litres of water before bed, taking some tylenol, and eating a heartly bowl of oatmeal.
15:51 <Ali> Well booze is known for dehydration
15:51 <ADragonDreaming> hm.
15:51 <Ali> same PW Cepheid?
15:51 <ADragonDreaming> unlimited distance but not across dimensions. okay.
15:51 <Cepheid> Yes.

22:52 <Cepheid> Which to be honest, leaves me inclined to believe that it may not be your ISP, but rather, the cabling and/or method you connect to the router/modem/gateway/etc.
