00:04 <OctaveSymphony> Ohhh
00:04 <OctaveSymphony> Hai Nedemai
00:04 <Nedemai> everyone else I used to talk to has moved on, for the most part
00:04 <Nedemai> hello OctaveSymphony
00:04 <OctaveSymphony> How is you doing?
00:05 <VinylScratch> doooesn't mean ya can't try and make new friendlies here.
00:05 <VinylScratch> just sayin'
00:05 <Nedemai> I hear yea, im not around consistently.
00:05 <Nedemai> I don't think thats fair to others
00:05 <VinylScratch> I'm not always around either, just means I enjoy when I am. :P
00:05 <LunaNightwind> same really Nedemai, I stuck around to keep talking to Ali cuz i knew her from the NSFW rooms, i was never in the SFW rooms till Ali left the adult rooms and i went looking for her before i signed off of here completely for good
00:06 <Nedemai> OctaveSymphony, I wish I knew how to answer that. Best answer I've got is Im taking life day by day

00:19 <PinkieShy> So.. Cheesecake.. is it a pie or a cake? XD
00:19 <PinkieShy> If its a pie why is it called 'cheeseCAKE' and not 'cheesepie"
00:20 <PinkieShy> One of life's odd naming stuff..
00:20 <PinkieShy> Like how you bake "COOKies" and and cook "Bacon"
00:26 <Nedemai> a package by car is a shipment, a package by ship is cargo
00:32 <PinkieShy> heh
00:32 <PinkieShy> Cheesecake is like.. the cake is a lie as its really a pie

01:22 * VinylScratch snugs upon the Alimare
01:23 * Ali noms on the VinylScratch ear
01:23 * Ali also isn't cute
01:24 * Schism thinks a nomming Ali is particularly cute.
01:25 <Ali> Keep that up Schism and I'll turn you into a reformling :P
01:25 * Schism also flops on Lumindia, and boops with 360 Phantasmagorias.
01:29 <VinylScratch> xD
01:29 * Ali noms on VinylScratch more cause the other two that have been pinging her like crazy aren't here anymore
01:30 * Schism also thinks Ali is squeaky. Which is a certain cute facet.
01:31 <Schism> I am also perhaps sleepy.
01:31 <Ali> I am not cute
01:31 * Schism therefore places a Filly_Nightmares atop an Ali, and a Great Serpent of Ronka atop the Filly_Nightmares.
01:31 * PinkieShy hugs Ali
01:32 * Filly_Nightmares eees at Ali and nomfs ears!

04:03 <Tirek> I wanted to ask him about his thoughts on Stevia extract and powder. I don't want to replace traditional sugar, but I want to cut back, and it seems like Stevia is a miracle sugar replacement.
04:04 <Tirek> That said, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, so I want to know what his opinions are on it, since he seems to be well versed in diety type stuff.

06:31 <Finwe> Der Ring des Nibelungen, actually. Let us not forget the first article.
06:33 * Finwe opera cloaks on an Ali.
07:00 * Koopz starts playing a very familiar melody on the organ
07:00 * Finwe stops opera cloaking on Ali and hats on Schism.
07:03 <Finwe> I've always wondered how you get the sound reminiscent of a distant propeller plane out of an orchestra, like in the beginning of the prelude to Rheingold.
07:10 <Koopz> sounds like a string job

07:31 <Finwe> The five-stringed double bass can go as low as C_1 or B_0, 33 and 31 Hz, respectively.

11:25 <Schism> Could be, aye.
11:25 <Schism> Just curious. There's a new anime set in that universe.
11:26 <Cepheid> So I hear.
11:28 <Cepheid> Seriously though, don't ever move to Ottawa. I doubt it is any better than living out in the middle of nowhere.
11:28 <Cepheid> Too much stuff this city just does not get, either because it is fun, and fun is not allowed here, because it is a political city and full of leeches, or because it is not the capital of Ontario.
11:29 <Schism> Enngh. *nods*
11:34 <Cepheid> Outside of public events, which are almost always hosted in Downtown Ottawa, and the arcane nature ofnbars and clubs closinf down and re-opening under new themes and management every month..
11:34 <Cepheid> It is ridiculous. You even have trouble finding foods of a type other than pizza.
11:35 <Cepheid> This is one of the most boring 1-million+ population cities I have ever been to.

11:35 *** Quits: Jackie2 (Jackie@Pony-98v.pue.9.61.IP) (Quit: qicr for android: faster and better)
11:35 <Cepheid> It is literally so boring that the most fun people had was in regards to a sinkhole a few years back.
11:36 <Cepheid> A massive sinkhole opened up on Rideau street, a major street in the city.
11:37 <Cepheid> Consumed a minivan. It was the most impressive attraction of the city for about a month.
11:37 <Schism> I do recall that.
11:37 <Cepheid> Every night for four weeks, the news would cover the sinkhole.
11:37 <Cepheid> It was practically a tourist attraction, and one of the most popular ones the city has ever had in my 19 years here.
11:38 <Cepheid> I had more fun in one week of being in Toronto than I have ever had in my entire time here in Ottawa. *Keeps ranting*
11:39 <Cepheid> The only other worthwhile attraction herr is the mayor. And that really only applies to men now.
11:39 * Schism nodnods. "Plus, the way the city is laid out, and the way the services are set up, even IF something interesting happened..."
11:40 <Cepheid> He recently came out as gay. That said apparently it wasn't that shocking.
11:40 <Schism> Heh, it's at the point where I just say, "Okay. And?"
11:40 <Cepheid> I didn't know, myself. But apparently it had been public knowledge for a long time.
11:40 * Schism shrugs. "Good of him to come out, but yeah."
11:41 <Cepheid> I didn't know because I'm one of those fooks who goes "okay, and?" and just move on. I grew up in the era where we are trying to make it acceptable. So I don't care if he is gay or not. I only care that he is qualified for the job.
11:41 * Schism nodnods.
11:42 <Cepheid> Which given he has been mayor for as long as I can remember the mayors of this city, I can assume he is qualified.
11:42 <Schism> "Okay, great, what's your plan for OCTranspo?"
11:43 <Cepheid> Despite all the problems the city has, he continues to remain mayor. Probably because he does his best to try and resolve the problems.
11:43 * Schism nods. "That or he's the incumbent and nobody else wants the job. But I take it he is actually pretty good."
11:43 <Cepheid> Yeah. The whole OCTranspo and LRT is a bit of a problem for him.
11:43 <Cepheid> No. There are others who want the job.
11:44 <Cepheid> I was harassed a few timss by folks who wanted to be mayor.
11:44 <Schism> Sheesh.
11:44 <Cepheid> That's how much of a political city this is. I actually get interrupted and bothered by politicians.
11:46 <Schism> You're also a white male 30-something.
11:46 <Cepheid> Really the only thing I like about this city is that the political stuff isn't all locked down. Despite the Parliament shooting event a few years back, you can still get tours of the buildings, and so on without getting frisked.
11:46 <Schism> Snark aside, yeah. :<
11:46 <Schism> That much is at least nice. So you can indeed learn the history etc.
11:47 <Cepheid> Don't remind me Schism. That's one of the things my sister pokes me about in one of our many discussions. Single white male in his 30s.
11:47 <Schism> Sorry. Bleh.
11:47 <Finwe> Two hours of microeconomics and then to the opera. o3o
11:48 * Finwe overtures at Schism.
11:48 <Schism> Finwe: Ah, is it something you truly appreciate?
11:52 * Schism also looks at the Jolly Roger Telephone Company. They create telephone bots. But not the standard cold call bots, oh no. Those bots take cold calls, and waste the time of telemarketers and scammers.
11:54 <Cepheid> Hum. Thats one way to do a donation without killing myself with sugar, I guess.
11:55 <Cepheid> Tim Hortons donation campaign. The cookies. I didnt want the cookies but wanted to put some money towards the donation drive anyways.
11:55 <Cepheid> But they can't just add a donation amount.
11:55 <Schism> Hah.
11:56 <Schism> So how'd you cut the knot?
11:56 <Cepheid> So they charged me for a few cookies and didn't give 'em to me. Probably should have told them to just give the cookies to the next three people if they wanted one.
11:56 <Cepheid> Trying to cut down my sugar intake as is. Hence no cookies.
11:57 <Cepheid> Bad enough I still order a double-double as is.
11:57 <Schism> Shame you couldn't, say, get a croissant instead of a cookie.
11:58 <Cepheid> I had not considered that. But they probably couldn't do that anyway.
11:58 <Cepheid> Though substitution should be a thing.
11:58 <Finwe> Schism: Rheingold, the first part of the Ring des Nibelungen.
11:58 <Schism> Ooh, nice.
11:58 <Finwe> Or did you mean microeconomics?
11:58 <Cepheid> People are diabetic. Some of them handle sugar worse than others, so..
11:58 * Filly_Nightmares mewls because her hoovesies won't warm up!
11:59 <Schism> Oh, I meant the opera, Finwe.
11:59 * Schism provides a bowl of warm water!
11:59 <Finwe> My response to insulin injections is quite strong.
11:59 <Cepheid> Like for example, I'm diabetic, but it appears my pancreas still works. My blood sugar goes down on its own.
11:59 <Finwe> I need one unit per 20 grammes of carbohydrates.
11:59 <Schism> T2 diabetes, Cephy. o3o;
11:59 <Schism> Hum, it's 8 AM, time for Lantus. *take*
11:59 <Finwe> Even less if I exercise.
11:59 <Cepheid> Yeah. It's just that my blood sugar remains outside the expected range.
11:59 <Finwe> And 12 units of Lantus every morning.
12:00 <Cepheid> Arguably this is better than before.

12:00 <Cepheid> Prior to my blood sugar hovering around 10, I used to have a problem with my blood sugar constantly dropping to 3.
12:00 * Schism takes 34 units Lantus each morning, and 1 of fast-acting (humalog) for 11 grams carbs.
12:00 <Schism> (Or 1 per 2.5 I am above 10.)
12:01 * Schism nods to Cepheid. :<
12:01 <Cepheid> Seems my pancreas has had problems for a long time, either way.
12:01 <Cepheid> Either my blood sugar was consistently dropping too low, or now, it is too high.
12:02 <Cepheid> Truth told, that it was consistently dropping too low should have been an indicator of a problem.
12:06 <Cepheid> Off-topic, but every time I walk around the various buildings of the campus, I see plenty of empty, unused offices and rooms.
12:07 <Cepheid> Sometimes, I wish the school sould let me rent one out for personal use.
12:07 <Cepheid> It isn't like it is being used by anyone important, and they can just kick me out if they need it.
12:07 <Schism> Aye.
12:07 <Schism> Hmmm. Path of Exile is Tower Defense.
12:07 <Cepheid> Or has one anyway.
12:08 <Schism> Latest league.
12:08 <Cepheid> They are the second ARPG to implement tower defense in the base game.
12:08 <Cepheid> The Van Helsing ARPG games have one. Was apparently popular enough to to get a spinoff.
12:09 <Cepheid> Actually kind of fun.
12:09 <Schism> Huh. o3o; Well, that's not the first game to have a single mechanic explode like that.
12:09 <Cepheid> Fun thing. PvE games is one area where I want to actually learn machine learning for.
12:10 * Schism makes some bacon for breakfast.
12:10 <Cepheid> Co-op PvE games that use machine learning to analyze the tactics the players use, and continually improve the waves and enemy behaviours.
12:11 <Cepheid> But then we are getting into The World level of bull****
12:11 <Schism> Or that one SCP.
12:11 <Schism> 1633, that's the one.
12:13 <Cepheid> The idea isn't unsound, though.
12:14 <Cepheid> They applied machine learning to recordings of Starcraft, then used the resultant AI.
12:14 <Cepheid> Apparently it beat some of the best pros out there.
12:15 * Schism nodnods.
12:15 <Cepheid> So basically, record battles of players against enemies, in-so-much as their skills, timing and tactics, nothing identifying. Then feed it to the machine learning AI.
12:16 <Cepheid> See what results. Ideally, do it with a dungeon dedicated to it.
12:16 * ConfusionRift waltz in.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> This sounds familiar...
12:17 <Cepheid> I'd use multiple instances, myself. Dungeon with static enemies, for testing tactics development. Dungeon where new enemies can be created using a point system to limit their strength. Test to see how players react to changing situations and tactics combined.
12:17 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/ebR1FFZ.png this makes me sad
12:17 <Lumindia> I can't paint a big red X over the illager banner
12:18 <Schism> Aw, you should be able to. :<
12:18 <Lumindia> I wanted to make an effigy against them
12:18 <ConfusionRift> Likely because it's considered a different entity apart from the normal banner.
12:19 <Cepheid> ... Gods damnit, I'm going to be Harald into my old age, aren't I?
12:19 <ConfusionRift> So... pffft, which kinda sucks.
12:19 <Lumindia> it's just 'minecraft:white_banner
12:19 * Filly_Nightmares licks Lumindia
12:20 <ConfusionRift> Then probably the game thinks it either already has a design, or this specific one has something that tells the game that it can't be changed. Who knows.
12:21 <Lumindia> or maybe there's a cap on how many designs can be on a single banner
12:21 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/OuCZsYPiQp0 He did a new version.
12:21 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
12:21 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Dark Star Core (Bowser's Inside Story) - GaMetal
12:21 <ConfusionRift> I know there was a game that changed difficulty according to how well (or terrible) the player was doing. I can't remember.
12:21 <Cepheid> Oh.
12:21 <Cepheid> Aait. Thats an older version.
12:22 <Cepheid> Why is Youtube defaulting to hottest/etc instead of newest?
12:22 <Lumindia> ahh here we goi
12:22 <Lumindia> A banner may have up to six patterns, which are overlaid with the last-crafted on top. A banner can have up to 16 patterns with the use of commands
12:22 <ConfusionRift> But that could be just a case of tracking kill ratio and deaths.
12:23 <ConfusionRift> Can you remove a pattern, or does it lock once you make that pattern?
12:24 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/MlJXsegkRL0 Square should have put this into their remaster as an option.
12:24 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
12:24 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Odd. I got recommended first, and then it's sorted by channel and how new they are.
12:25 <Cepheid> Ooh. He did Good Night Mom too. La-Mulana's final battle theme.
12:25 <Schism> Cepheid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pd0ALPOhnQ
12:25 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, I'm behind on his work.
12:26 <Cepheid> I really, really need to get back to 14. But alas...
12:26 <Cepheid> For some reason, MMOs can't hold my attention anymore.
12:27 <Cepheid> I'm wondering if it's due to the meds.
12:27 <ConfusionRift> Wait... he redid 0-2?
12:27 <Cepheid> He did?
12:27 <ConfusionRift> Yep, three months ago.
12:27 <Cepheid> Ooh. He also did World Revolution.
12:28 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Force Your Way (Final Fantasy VIII) - GaMetal Ft. ToxicxEternity
12:28 <ConfusionRift> Little late, Derpster. :P
12:28 <Schism> I blame Youtube. :S
12:29 <Cepheid> You know, when I do the music for my La-Mulana-styled game...
12:30 <Cepheid> One key attribute I want to keep intact is the boss battle opening stings being the same set of notes..
12:31 <Cepheid> And the opening addition to the entrance of the maze.

12:33 <Cepheid> Basically, those little bits that you hear once as a way of introducing something big.
12:33 <ConfusionRift> Heh, he gave Darius Twin some lov- oh, the most rock heavy song of the game. :P
12:33 <Cepheid> It.. really added something to La-Mulana's opening, despite only being heard once.
12:34 <Cepheid> It also added in that the final boss theme starts with the exact same set of notes as the theme for when you first enter the ruins.
12:35 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X_sTyAIfjs Seriously, here's Fearless Challenger, the 'long' version, with the opening for the ruins.
12:35 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUyKfYiW5SY Then here's Good Night Mom, the final boss theme.
12:36 <Lumindia> also baby zombies are literally the worst thing ever
12:37 <ConfusionRift> Why does it give me hints of Sunset Riders?
12:37 * Filly_Nightmares swarms Lumindia!
12:37 <ConfusionRift> I think they used the same instruments.
12:37 <Lumindia> Noooo!
12:38 <Lumindia> Begone, small zombies!
12:38 * Filly_Nightmares eeeee!
12:38 <Lumindia> I'm nowhere near my home. I went to find a swamp to get slimeballs
12:38 <Cepheid> That said, before I can continue on my game, I need to define the story still. I have a basic idea, but I'm missing some explanations for certain details.
12:40 <Cepheid> Well, technically I can work on it without a story.
12:40 <Cepheid> Just can't design the map. I can implement mechanics and UI.
12:40 <Cepheid> And truth told, I'm not really sure I want to go with the idea I have. Seems too dark and foreboding. I want something twisty and mind-screwy.
12:40 <Schism> Lumindia: Baby zombies riding chickens!
12:41 <Lumindia> those are worse
12:41 * Filly_Nightmares giggles
12:42 <Schism> "We had a huge problem with, er, when the zombies, they spawn and despawn all the time in the game, but with the chickens, they always remain. So for a while we had a problem that they would just fill the caves with chickens."
12:43 <Cepheid> That said, I also kinda want to break some tropes.
12:43 <Cepheid> I know, for a fact, that I want it in the future, in space.
12:43 <Cepheid> With aliens, etc.
12:43 <Cepheid> But I want the aliens to be, ye know, actually alien. Not all humanoids.
12:43 <Cepheid> But I also don't want to make the aliens the core threat/enemy, etc.
12:43 <ConfusionRift> Like actual monster style aliens.
12:44 <Cepheid> Yes.
12:44 <Cepheid> Monsters in that they are monstrous looking, but not necessarily aggressive. Intelligent species with unusual appearances.
12:44 <ConfusionRift> And like actually have different things in each sector... I mean, area(?).
12:44 <Cepheid> Mmm.
12:45 * Schism makes another sandwich. One is insufficient. Plus, you know, bacon.
12:45 <Cepheid> Nah, I was thinking more just overall, period. A mixture of different types. I want them to be working together, along with humans, towards some goal, when something goes wrong.
12:45 <Cepheid> And not because of poor planning on their part.
12:45 <ConfusionRift> I was actually thinking of that, but on something like No Man's Sky.
12:45 <Cepheid> They took all the precautions they could think of, and despite it all, something still goes wrong. ANd it's not because some individual went and did their own thing.
12:45 <Cepheid> It literally just broke down.
12:46 <Cepheid> You always have these stories where the reason things broke down is because someone didn't follow protocol, or because someone had ulterior motives, setting the story in motion.
12:46 <Finwe> We have a multitude of workrooms you can reserve if you need.
12:46 <Cepheid> Finwe: Yeah, the school doesn't.
12:47 <Cepheid> The school basically treats students as if they would destroy and/or steal everything not bolted down.
12:47 <Cepheid> The clocks all over the school are actually behind metal cages.
12:47 <Finwe> Everything from one-person cubicles to meeting rooms with 20 seats.
12:47 <Cepheid> Exception being in the language resources room.
12:47 <Cepheid> We have a bunch of clocks set to different time zones.
12:47 <Cepheid> Finwe: Yeah, but are they reservable for long periods of time?
12:47 <Cepheid> The best we can get here is a few hours at a time.
12:47 <Cepheid> And you have to reserve like, 3 weeks in advance.
12:48 <Cepheid> And pay a fee.
12:48 <ConfusionRift> That each planet (or place) would have their own species, culture, environment, flora, fauna, etc. But unlike No Man's Sky, they would actually have their own technological advances, laws, preferences, interactions, language, just the whole 9 yards.
12:48 <Cepheid> And give them your soul.
12:48 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Mmhmm.
12:48 <Cepheid> Here, the various aliens are putting aside their differences for The Greater Good, to research something special, something critical to the survival of all involved.
12:49 <Cepheid> But despite their best efforts, something goes awry, and breaks down before our heroic booknerd arrives and starts solving a mystery.
12:49 <Cepheid> All because they were on their way to meet, and start working with their parents, who were part of the research project.
12:50 <ConfusionRift> I was thinking more like they would have gone through their own circumstances. Like maybe have a race that's the usual strong militant or barbaric, but also have a race that has gone through war and back, and they're just worn out so they do what they can to help themselves and others.
12:50 <Cepheid> All but a small subset of about 30 individuals survives the disaster, and holes up near the docking pads, and broadcasts a message for all newcomers to stay away.
12:51 <Cepheid> The research station can't be destroyed in it's current state, but they also don't want people approaching it, for rescue or investigative purposes, either.
12:51 <ConfusionRift> And maybe have a species that you rarely see, simply because their planet have been destroyed, and they can't adapt to other ecosystems so easily.
12:51 <Cepheid> Because whatever went wrong is so bad, that they don't want anyone else dealing with it.
12:51 <Cepheid> Or getting involved.
12:52 <Cepheid> But of course, the problem is "what is it that happened, that, somehow didn't affect a small subset of survivors?"
12:53 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.
12:53 <Cepheid> The idea is that the station became a larger-on-the-inside scenario, with a complete restructuring of the station layout, except for one area, the docking pads.
12:53 <Cepheid> And the reason it can't be destroyed, is that no one can reach the core of the station where the shielding system among other things is.
12:54 <Cepheid> It's indestructible, because it utilizes advanced scientific technology developed towards the research goal, including new shielding systems that make it impervious to weapons of all kinds.
12:54 <Cepheid> Of course, there's also a flaw with this.
12:55 <Cepheid> If you can get into the station at the docks, what's stopping people from just, like, setting up a massive bomb, and annihilating it from there?
12:55 <Cepheid> So I need to close some holes in the concept.
12:55 <Cepheid> Like say, perhaps the station in it's new internal configuration, is acting as a containment vessel for something.
12:55 <Cepheid> ANd that destroying the station would release some terrible eldritch horror.
12:56 <ConfusionRift> It could be a structural problem.
12:57 <Cepheid> For the record, you will be credited with regards to the story, or any other mechanics or details, for your assistance.
12:57 <ConfusionRift> Maybe the core is way below the station. Destroying it would cause the whole thing to collapse in on itself, and probably unleash some other madness in the middle. Maybe it really does use to eldritch or alchemical mean for fueling.
12:57 <Cepheid> No challenging this.
12:57 *** Joins: ADragonHoarding (~Mibbit@Pony-krk.qod.41.69.IP)
12:57 <Cepheid> You deserve respect for what help you have given me. :P
12:58 <ConfusionRift> No probs, man. :P
12:58 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Could also use the idea that they attempted destruction, but it didn't do anything. Whatever caused the disaster just "regrows" the bits that are destroyed.
12:59 <Cepheid> And that the core itself is so heavily protected, that demolition is outright ineffective.
12:59 <ConfusionRift> Heh, someone tried it and didn't go well. They knew super bombs were a bad idea. :P
13:00 <Cepheid> Well, the idea of bombs doing unexpected things has been covered before.
13:00 <Cepheid> Like nuclear bombs in Godzilla King Of The Monsters, and such.
13:03 <ConfusionRift> Actually, was more of a Metroid: Other M sorta idea. (Hate to mention it) Basically, you're immediately restricted from using your weapons. The one case they sued for this reasoning was the super bombs. They can indiscriminately destroy most organic matter in a large radius, including other humans. Well...
13:04 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm familiar with that.
13:04 <Cepheid> It... was a controversial idea, that. I can understand why it'd happen in real life, though.
13:04 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift.
13:04 <Finwe> o7
13:05 <Cepheid> Every time Samus gets involved, things cease to exist. Planets, space stations, entire dimensions.
13:06 <Cepheid> Planet Zebes, SR388, the research station at the start of Super Metroid, the station at the start of Metroid Prime, the dark realm of Metroid Prime 2, the entire planet made of phazon in Metroid Prime 3, numerous individuals in Metroid Prime 3, and a research station in Metroid Fusion..
13:06 <ConfusionRift> We have a bunch of individuals who are on their ropes and want this thing gone. They strapped what's basically a small nuclear option in hopes to destroy it, or at least stop it. They trigger it in hopes the others can go on with their lives. the other return to see the results... everything is charred to ashes or melted in some way. The core? Still intact. More panic.
13:07 <Cepheid> If Samus touches or investigates it, it'll likely cease existing.
13:07 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: See, that part in terms of restrictions makes sense. Now tell me... WHY WOULD THEY NOT LET HER USE HE GRAVITY SUIT?!
13:08 <Cepheid> Yeah.
13:08 <Cepheid> That doesn't make a lot of sense I admit.
13:08 <Cepheid> They didn't quite think it all through.
13:08 <Cepheid> It was that, and the whole "damsel in distress" thing that most people hated about that game.
13:08 <Cepheid> Putting all that stuff aside, it was a good game, gameplay-wise.
13:08 <Cepheid> The biggest issue I had with it honestly was the first-person stuff.
13:09 <ConfusionRift> It was... unique in its own way.
13:09 <Cepheid> Felt hacked-in, and made things more difficult by far.
13:09 <ConfusionRift> I honestly felt all that could had been implemented better.
13:09 <Cepheid> It could have, yeah. Or just been left, out, really.
13:09 <Cepheid> It might have been a better idea to like, do a slow-down-time thing and allow panning the view for long-range weapons like missiles.
13:09 * Filly_Nightmares uses Cepheid as a bed and ConfusionRift as a blankie and Schism as a plushie and goes sleepies!

13:10 <ConfusionRift> :P
13:10 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
13:10 <Cepheid> It was a gimmick thing.
13:10 * ConfusionRift patpats Sleeping_Nightmares.
13:11 * Sleeping_Nightmares murr
13:11 <Cepheid> As for the damsel-in-distress thing, it would have been more believable had the story been done prior to Metroid.
13:11 <Cepheid> As in, her first encounter with Ridley after the whole killed-her-parents thing.
13:11 <Cepheid> Doing it after Metroid makes no sense, as she encountered him in that game, and didn't freak.
13:12 <Cepheid> Overall though, given the nature of the way the story was presented, it wasn't bad per se, as it was balanced out.
13:12 <Cepheid> People forgot that the lead male character of interest also had his own prince-in-distress scenario.
13:12 <ConfusionRift> He did a needless sacrifice.
13:13 <Cepheid> Yeah, pretty much.
13:13 <ConfusionRift> Actually, many of the characters did.
13:15 <ConfusionRift> I dunno. I played it, and then the story and weird controls got to me.
13:15 <Cepheid> It was mostly the controls. THe story I put aside.
13:15 <Cepheid> It gave me what it wanted outside of that.
13:16 <Cepheid> Most of the storyline faults can, to a degree, be justified, but some of them, not so much.
13:16 <Cepheid> Plus, there were some hacky traps and such.
13:16 <Cepheid> The one thing that really got to me was the Metroid Queen.
13:17 <Cepheid> I never played the original Metroid 2, so I didn't know anything about using the bombs on the inside and such.
13:17 * ConfusionRift just remembered that Ridley starts as a Furby.
13:18 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Actually, I remember the game kinda hinting to use bombs.
13:18 <Cepheid> Yeah, but there's a point where you're expected to use the Super Bomb, and I don't recall a hint about that.
13:18 <Cepheid> Then again, I played it straight through in one sitting, and it was late in the evening, so perhaps I was tired and didn't see it.
13:20 <Cepheid> In any case..
13:21 <Cepheid> It's pretty apparent what kind of game I like, and why, based on the fact that I'd put story aside.
13:21 <Cepheid> I want exploration.
13:21 <Cepheid> La-Mulana filled that itch considerably, and on top of that, was one of the first frustrating games I ever managed to complete without... well, I wouldn't say I avoided losing my *YAY*, but I persevered regardless.
13:21 <Cepheid> I would have given up without the meds.
13:22 <Cepheid> Or become extremely agitated really quickly, repeatedly.
13:22 <Cepheid> So I know I want to do a metroidvania. And honestly, La-Mulana's style is the simplest one I've seen, and easiest one(for me) to implement.
13:22 <Cepheid> Though I wonder if perhaps I should just use Unity for it.
13:22 <Cepheid> The only negative I have about Unity is that it's finicky as of late.
13:23 <Cepheid> No fullscreen-exclusive mode(There's a switch to fix that though...) and many Unity games have had a stuttering issue. Though, I suspect that might be due to my TV at home.
13:23 <Cepheid> Since that thing seems to cause all sorts of performance problems.
13:23 <Cepheid> It introduces massive stuttering to Terra Tech, for example.
13:24 <Cepheid> Like, absolutely massive amounts of it.
13:24 <Cepheid> I figured out why, but there's little way around it for many games.
13:25 <Cepheid> Many HDR/UHD TVs advertise as 60Hz, but in reality, it's not 60Hz.
13:25 <Cepheid> It's something like, 59.94Hz.
13:25 * ConfusionRift points at his Vizio.
13:25 <Cepheid> That small amount of difference causes game engines to stall, hitch and sometimes swap too soon, among other issues.
13:25 <ConfusionRift> It supposed to have a max of 120, but I'm sure it doesn't even reach 60.
13:26 <Cepheid> Is it "120 Smoothframe" or something like that?
13:26 <Cepheid> Because that technology is a lie.
13:26 <Cepheid> It works by blending the previous and next frame together and rendering it, giving the illusion of 120Hz motion.
13:26 <ConfusionRift> This thing can't manage 4k, even as it's advertized as a 4k screen.
13:26 <Cepheid> It actually doesn't support 120Hz, it's just 60Hz faking it.
13:26 <Cepheid> Technically, any resolution above 1080p is advertised as 4k.
13:26 <Cepheid> So you can't get them on that.
13:27 <Cepheid> Also, depending on the TV, it may require a mode setting to get 4K.
13:27 <Cepheid> For example, I can't get 4k@60 on my TV unless it's set to UHD mode. Otherwise it can't go past 4k@30.
13:27 <Cepheid> You also need to make sure it's in 4:4:4, otherwise you get artifacts and resolution issues.
13:28 <ConfusionRift> It's dumb though. It does this odd 2K resolution, and it almost looks the same as 1080p.
13:28 <Cepheid> Give me the model number and brand.
13:28 <Cepheid> I'll take a look at the manual for you and see if there's anything odd that might explain why it's not true 4k.
13:29 <Cepheid> I've been toying with TVs like this for a while now, so I've gotten used to handling them.
13:29 <Cepheid> In the meantime, I have to run. Class in 30 minutes, and I want to get to near the classroom early.
13:34 <ConfusionRift> Vizio E43-E2. Oh... it is a 50/60hz TV. Still, 4k is odd.
13:35 <ConfusionRift> And don't worry. I'll figure it out later. Also have to crash for the day. Laters!

13:49 <Cepheid> It says here it supports 2160p at 60Hz. Probably has to be plugged into the ARC HDMI connector though. Hmm, let's see..
13:50 <Cepheid> Of course, 4k only works if the video card supports it, as well. And if it's nVidia, it can be even more funky.
13:51 <Cepheid> And yeah, it's 120Hz motion blurring tech, etc.
13:53 <Cepheid> Might also be the cable.
13:53 <Cepheid> There are, in fact, versioned cables.

14:46 <DashedRainbows> Pancake time!
14:47 <DashedRainbows> I'm pancake!
14:47 <Tirek> How could you pancake like that.
14:47 <Tirek> You had so much to live for.
14:49 <Tirek> Hey, Schism, I wanted to ask you about what your thoughts were on stevia extract. I thought you might know a thing or two about whether or not its a good idea to use it to help cut back on sugar.
14:50 <Schism> I haven't used it too much, but it's not a bad idea as a replacement. Beats splenda in that it doesn't have the same kind of offputting aftertaste.
14:50 <Tirek> I heard that it does have an offputting aftertaste.
14:51 <Tirek> I don't really want to replace sugar, but I need to dial it back before I screw myself into needing to replace sugar.
14:52 <Tirek> But you did use it before, do you remember what brand it was? If it didn't have an awful after taste, I'd like to go for that one.
14:53 * Schism nods. "Well, pretty much all the sugar substitutes you find - be they xylitol, splenda, aspartame, etc. - will have some off tastes. But this seemed alright. The variant I tried was "Stevia in the Raw".
14:53 <Tirek> Awesome, thanks.
14:54 <Tirek> I also heard that mitigating the aftertaste involves using a little bit of sugar, so, if I just substitute most of the sugar with the stevia I should be alright.
14:54 <Schism> That makes sense, aye.
14:55 <Schism> A 50/50 blend is common when using splenda for baking, too, for much the same reason.
14:55 <Tirek> Picking one that has the least bad off-taste to begin with doesn't hurt, especially considering I've heard that it often does if you use purely stevia.
14:55 <Tirek> So, thank ya for your input.
14:57 * Schism nods, "Cheers."
14:59 <Tirek> Did you use the liquid stuff or the powder, by the way?
15:00 <Schism> Powder.
15:00 <Tirek> Alrighty.
15:00 <Schism> No clue how well the liquid stuff tastes.
15:00 <Schism> how good*
15:00 <Tirek> I think the liquid stuff is just the powder disolved in water.
15:00 <Tirek> But apparently its supposed to have a different flavor profile
15:01 <Tirek> And trying to get good information about all of this stuff is impossible with all the health nut websites toting it as a miracle food.
15:02 <Schism> That and all the folks touting it as the opposite, that it's a horrific replacement that should never be.
15:02 <Tirek> Google search brings up the soccer moms on vegan diets websites saying that if you don't feed your kids organic, you're satan
15:02 <Tirek> Yeah.
15:02 <Tirek> It causes cancer and it causes your manly bits to fall off.
15:03 <Tirek> I'm too old to care about that last one, and I have a boyfriend so it won't matter if I can't have kids anyway.
15:04 <Schism> Well, the BF might be disappointed if your manly bits disappear.
15:04 <Tirek> The falling off bit was mostly hyperbole.
15:05 <Tirek> I got kefir grains recently, on a similar note. On my quest to defeat the evil soda pop industry, I've been tuned in to using a scoby to make my own fizzy drinks.

16:39 * Ali puts Cepheid on another train to nowhere *shot*
16:40 <Tirek> My first order of business is to reinstate fun.
16:40 <Tirek> But only outside federal establishments.
16:40 <Tirek> Fun isn't allowed in my domain.
16:40 <Tirek> But my domain is just my office
16:41 <ADragonDreaming> fnaaaar
16:41 <Cepheid> That would be appreciated.
16:42 <Ali> is this fnar an acyronymn for something?
16:42 <ADragonDreaming> no, it is simply an exclamation
16:45 * Ali flops over Cepheid, her enjoyment of IR took a huge hit.
16:46 <LunaNightwind> hi ali
16:46 * Ali sits on LunaNightwind
16:46 <LunaNightwind> sup
16:48 <Ali> Just woke up and feeling kinda grumpy.
16:49 <Cepheid> Oh?
16:51 <Ali> I tried another solo map to try and learn more early set ups
16:51 <Ali> Only to have to reset 30 times to find one that didn't have bugs in the starting field of vision
16:51 <ADragonDreaming> make the starting area bigger?
16:52 <Ali> So I start building up, setting tings up to prepare for the start of belting materials, when suddenly 15 bugs come out of nowhere and *yay*'d my coal
16:52 <ADragonDreaming> I wound up having to go clean out a few bases with scattergun turrets.
16:52 <Ali> Go to deal with the base, and its 4 bases with 3 worms
16:53 <Ali> ADragonDreaming, those turrets are terrible when they get surrounded and last for like 5 seconds
16:53 <Ali> Also when you die, you don't get anything to defend yourself with
16:53 <Ali> So you try to get your stuff back, you die again
16:54 <ADragonDreaming> my game is apparently set to permadeath? I didn't get to respawn when I died learning how to attack it
16:54 <ADragonDreaming> had to reload instead
16:54 <Ali> ADragonDreaming, I don't feel like the 'starting area' size matters not
16:54 <Ali> I'm fine with dealing with a 1-2 size bug base with no worms, would've been no problem
16:55 <ADragonDreaming> aye
16:55 <Ali> But 4 and 3 worms? That's a bit excessive for being so close to the starting area
16:55 <ADragonDreaming> yep
16:55 <Cepheid> Ali, honestly, just turn the bugs off.
16:56 <Cepheid> Or, if you want to keep them, make them temporarily allied/neutral with you until you're ready to fight back.
16:56 <Cepheid> Otherwise, decrease their density, etc.
16:57 <ADragonDreaming> I have managed to take out the slightly larger bases but basically had to set up a back line of turrets, then rely on my own shotgun and fish and running back to the line to kill off the base.
16:57 <Ali> ADragonDreaming, that's what I've done in the past
16:57 <Ali> Get a gun line to fall back to while you snipe the bug bases with rockets
16:57 <LunaNightwind> Sorry I am in and out, Playing gears of war 5
16:58 <ADragonDreaming> Yeah, it takes a bit of prodding to get them down with copper weaponry
16:58 <Ali> The shotgun is by far the best at the start of IR
16:58 <Ali> spread and all that
16:58 <Ali> The pistol is just so darn weak
16:58 <ADragonDreaming> two scatterguns well outside worm range, poke the biters, get them all cleared out
16:58 <ADragonDreaming> then play around with the worms to determine their range
16:59 <ADragonDreaming> two scatterguns just outside worm range
16:59 <Ali> The issue again was size of the bases
16:59 <ADragonDreaming> four for good measure
16:59 <Ali> 4 bases is rather large for the scatterguns to deal with in low numbers.
16:59 <ADragonDreaming> it is
17:00 <ADragonDreaming> I was using punkbots to set them up
17:00 <ADragonDreaming> with walls
17:00 <Ali> Walls are a must for scatterguns
17:00 <ADragonDreaming> for the larger bases
17:00 <Ali> The moment they get surrounded by bugs, they're doomed
17:00 <ADragonDreaming> I'd say preview the map seed

17:00 <ADragonDreaming> or, yeah, turn the bugs off
17:00 <Ali> ADragonDreaming, it doesn't matter, I've never kept the first roll of a game
17:01 <Ali> Cause it always spawns in either a desert or 3-4 bases in the starting field of vision
17:01 <Ali> I'm probably just grumping is all, but it did annoy me
17:01 * Schism thinks Ali is quite sensible for that.
17:03 <Ali> I'd like to play further into IR's age system but well, I'm not sure what the plan is yet for the server world.

22:43 <LunaNightwind> an old streaming group called HyperbolicBubble
22:43 <LibrarianofHope> the medium changed
22:43 <LibrarianofHope> its personality driven
22:44 <LibrarianofHope> if you were to use the multiple personality as a gimmick you would really need to be dramtic
22:44 <LunaNightwind> I actually used a Mic back then, scarecam wasnt needed back then
22:44 <LibrarianofHope> like each one that gets a turn does something very different
22:44 <LunaNightwind> ive just kinda lost my way with me hating my voice now that im actually out
22:45 <LunaNightwind> but like back then Ustream was the platform to stream on
22:45 <LibrarianofHope> meh. jacksepticeye and pewdipie have lousy voices
22:45 <LibrarianofHope> and look at em
22:45 <LunaNightwind> yeah but i doubt either of them actively hate their voice
22:45 <LunaNightwind> I sound like a boy and i hate it
22:46 <LibrarianofHope> biology is a (bleep)
22:46 <LunaNightwind> yep
22:46 <LibrarianofHope> maybe voice chancger?
22:46 <LunaNightwind> sounds like im talking into a can of soup
22:46 <LunaNightwind> very much a tin can effect
22:46 <LunaNightwind> and im not willing to pay for a pro voice changer
22:47 <LunaNightwind> then the times i do have the scare cam i have to have a face mask on cuz i got major manjaw
22:47 <LibrarianofHope> you could use the mask and the tin voice as an asset
22:47 <LibrarianofHope> make a charatcer
22:47 <LunaNightwind> meh
22:47 <LibrarianofHope> or a bunch of them
22:47 <LunaNightwind> i have enough characters in my head dont need any more confusion on that one
22:48 <LibrarianofHope> just a suggestion, its kinda my thing
22:48 <LibrarianofHope> do any of you hate each other?
22:48 <LunaNightwind> the fact that im also getting worse at games as i get older doesnt help
22:48 <LunaNightwind> there is one personality thats kinda against all the others but it is mostly kept in check
22:49 <LibrarianofHope> we get worse at games?
22:50 <LibrarianofHope> i havent played much recently. but im working so
22:50 <LunaNightwind> You gotta remember LibrarianofHope I am 32 years old at this point, i tend to suck at newer games

22:51 <LibrarianofHope> umm
22:51 <LunaNightwind> oh sorry if that S word is unallowed
22:51 <LibrarianofHope> ask ali
22:51 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net)
22:51 <LibrarianofHope> she can swear freely, perks of the powah
22:51 * Ali ish older and sucks at games
22:52 <LunaNightwind> but yeah I tend to be bad at newer games its just part of getting older, i can still play the classics like i am 15 years old, i can get good times in goldeneye i can rock it on PS2 games but as games get more advanced i get worse at them
22:52 <LunaNightwind> although PC gaming has let me step back into things a bit
22:52 <LibrarianofHope> thats intersting
22:53 <LibrarianofHope> but you are a speedrunner, so might just be slowing reactions
22:54 <LunaNightwind> not sure if the individual ages of my personalities have any effect on anything either, I am usually the primary game player, although Z will load up a shooter and chryssie enjoys a good long RPG, i think thats more her just wanting to be out
22:54 * Ali can endless tetris...finds tetris boring now.
22:54 <LunaNightwind> but my speed is in classic games that i have played a million times
22:54 <LibrarianofHope> who is on now? for reference´s sake
22:55 <LunaNightwind> i am the primary luna, usually you can tell cuz minimal punctuation lack of caps and alot of misspellings of words
22:55 <LunaNightwind> #lazy
22:55 <LibrarianofHope> umm
22:56 <LibrarianofHope> you arent getting worse, you just switch active player midgame
22:56 <LunaNightwind> LOL
22:56 <LunaNightwind> naw like I know that as newer games come out I am not playing as well as I used to
22:56 <LunaNightwind> changing times
22:57 <LunaNightwind> im not even all that upset about it to be honest
22:57 <LibrarianofHope> get everyone in sync and make a one woman pro team
22:57 * Lumindia tosses Ali at "Tetris: The Grandmaster"
22:57 <LunaNightwind> yes one woman playing all 5 players on a league of legends team LOL
22:57 <Lumindia> hang on what
22:57 <LunaNightwind> with 2 more to do commentary
22:57 <LibrarianofHope> add me to that, would be so fun
22:58 <LunaNightwind> Lumindia, what are you confused about?
22:58 <LibrarianofHope> teris
22:58 <LunaNightwind> Teris the horrible US Gold version of Tetris
22:59 <LibrarianofHope> if i concentrate i have a pleasat voice, making a podcast is part of my plans
22:59 <LunaNightwind> my problem is LibrarianofHope is that most of my personalities tend to be on the quieter side, not super talkative
23:00 <LunaNightwind> thats why i usually just do game sound only
23:00 <LunaNightwind> when i stream
23:00 <LibrarianofHope> i had a side thought

23:00 <LibrarianofHope> if there are dad jokes, are there mom jokes?
23:01 <LunaNightwind> No, and we want to beat our husband when he makes dad jokes!
23:02 <LibrarianofHope> maybe a poem?
23:02 <LibrarianofHope> she digs,he digs, we dig, they dig.
23:02 <LibrarianofHope> not a beautifull poem, but quite deep
23:02 <LunaNightwind> im sitting here eating wedding cake and am sad that it is almost gone
23:03 <LibrarianofHope> divorce and remarry
23:03 <LunaNightwind> lol
23:03 <LibrarianofHope> then more cake
23:03 <LunaNightwind> or just go spend 60 bucks on cake
23:03 <LibrarianofHope> sounds easier yeah
23:12 <LunaNightwind> cheaper if nothing else
23:13 <LibrarianofHope> Done writing for the day
23:13 <LibrarianofHope> im getting tired
