00:07 * PinkieShy Squeaks at Ali
00:10 <Cepheid> Way I see it, resources should not grow in density, size and richness the further out you go. This only works to stop your expansion.
00:21 <Cepheid> RSO showed it's possible to spawn resources through different algorithms, but it's insanely difficult.
00:32 <PinkieShy> .. I'm holding a selfie stick in vr and its weird.
01:26 * DashedRainbows sniffs PinkieShy and pants. How's the horsey?
01:26 <PinkieShy> I'm doing ok :)
01:26 <PinkieShy> I'm thinking of being part of No Shave November this year.
01:27 <DashedRainbows> It's only natural
01:27 * PinkieShy licks DashedRainbows a bunch
01:27 * DashedRainbows tastes bland
01:28 <DashedRainbows> Needs BBQ sauce
01:28 <PinkieShy> How about Honey Mustard instead? XD
01:30 * DashedRainbows jumps into a pool of honey mustard
01:33 * PinkieShy screams out "Let the feast of a thousand licks begin!"
01:40 <PinkieShy> "{
01:40 <PinkieShy> err.. :P

04:39 <PinkieShy> H3llo :D
04:39 <DashedRainbows> yo
04:39 <PinkieShy> or Should i say.. H3110 :P
04:41 <Vulpor> So, I am now sold on a new game made by the creators of Fallout
04:42 <Vulpor> The Outer Worlds
04:42 <Vulpor> I've now seen enough gameplay to know it is the role playing game I want for 2019
04:49 * DashedRainbows makes angry horse noises
04:50 <Ali> No, do not give bugthesda your money
04:50 * DashedRainbows was making a horsey then boom
04:51 <DashedRainbows> now, sad horse
04:51 <PinkieShy> .. I just read that as "Angry bird noises"
04:51 * DashedRainbows patpats PinkieShy
04:52 * Ali still sads that the playmats went out of stock in one single minute.
04:54 * DashedRainbows is also sads about tomorrow
04:55 <Vulpor> Ali its not Bethesda
04:55 <Vulpor> It is Obsiden
04:55 <Vulpor> the people who did New Vegas and two of the creators of Fallout 1
04:56 <Vulpor> not Brian Fargo
04:57 <Vulpor> Essentially this is a Fallout game without the bugs
04:58 <Vulpor> From what I have seen at least
04:58 <Schism> But... but. The bugs make Fallout what it is!
04:59 <Vulpor> Listen, I am a huge Bethesda fan but they done goofed on Fallout 76
04:59 <Schism> You're not going to hear me arguing that point.
04:59 <Ali> I don't know, every AAA company is just trying to win Worst Company of the Year.
05:00 <Vulpor> Nobody out EA's EA
05:00 <Ali> Blizzard and Bethesda would like to have a word with you
05:00 <PinkieShy> ilA woh era uoy thginot?
05:01 <Vulpor> Bethesda made a bad game no doubt but Blizard is not gonna get a dime from me again
05:01 <Ali> That sentence makes no sense backwards PinkieShy
05:01 <DashedRainbows> wut
05:01 <PinkieShy> It says 'Ali how are you tonight?' :P
05:02 <DashedRainbows> that's much better than what I got
05:02 <Schism> Vulpor: Oh, I don't know. Konami has been doing a damn fine job at out-EA'ing EA.
05:02 <Vulpor> Honestly though I cannot keep track of all the crap corperations do
05:02 <DashedRainbows> my subconcious is evil...
05:03 <Vulpor> I just buy games that tickle my fancy and keep on living and helping where I can
05:03 <Vulpor> Schism I just want a new Silent Hill thats all
05:04 <Vulpor> Hell I'd take a re release at this point
05:04 * PinkieShy headpats DashedRainbows
05:04 <Vulpor> or even a Silent Hill homoge
05:05 <Vulpor> I liked Bloodstained needs to do a Sillent Hill like game
05:05 <Schism> Alchemilla, perhaps?
05:06 * Ali flops over Schism. "I'm done with MQ dungeons."
05:06 * Schism pats the Ali. :<
05:06 <Ali> They're more annoying than hard
05:06 <Vulpor> Is that on PS4?
05:07 <Ali> Most of the GAH puzzles are Song of Time puzzles.
05:07 <Vulpor> Alchemilla I mean
05:07 <Schism> Vulpor: No, it's a Source mod released in 2015.
05:07 <Schism> Evidently it's pretty good.
05:07 <Vulpor> ahh not something I know of then
05:07 <Vulpor> i loved Resident Evil 7 though
05:08 <Schism> The name 'Alchemilla' should be familiar to SH players. o3o;
05:08 <Vulpor> but it was not as.............psychological
05:08 <Schism> Resident Evil has never been a psychological horror game.
05:08 <Schism> s/game/series
05:09 * Ali sadflops over Schism
05:09 <Schism> That's not a mark against it, just sayin', it needn't pretend to be something it's not.
05:09 * Schism snugglies the Ali, provides cake with holes in it to replace hoofholes.
05:09 <Vulpor> I also heard a rumor that Cuphead is coming to PS4
05:09 <Ali> You mean it wasn't already on the system?
05:10 * Schism also tries to remember what Ali means by GAH.
05:10 <Ali> Annoying
05:10 <Vulpor> Nope and I watched a playthrough already due to that fact
05:10 <Ali> You have to play the song of time in the right places and in the right order or you have to leave the room to reset it.
05:10 <Schism> Oh, /not/ a zone. I mean, you use GTG and JJB.
05:10 <Vulpor> I love the art style but know its hard as heck
05:11 <Ali> No, the Randomizer does a coin flip on if a dungeon is normal or MQ
05:11 <Ali> And several of them require precice song of time manipulations to solve a few rooms.
05:11 <Schism> No, I know you set that up - though the randomizer also lets you pick how many dungeons will be replaced by MQ ones.
05:11 <Vulpor> Also I bought me a old school NES
05:12 <Vulpor> with Mario 3
05:12 * Schism has that. o3o Also Mario 1 + Duck Hunt, which is less helpful without a CRT.
05:12 <Vulpor> My fiance is new to the NES library
05:12 <Ali> Schism, I told it to randomize the number of MQ dungeons
05:13 <Schism> Ew. :S
05:13 <Vulpor> We are searching for Zelda now
05:13 <Ali> And the Spirit Temple has several puzzles that are song of time manipulations
05:13 <Schism> Ah yes, the Spirit Temple and that nonsense.
05:13 <Vulpor> She has never played a Zelda game evar
05:13 <Schism> Oh, dear. Zelda 1 is not the best game for that purpose.
05:13 <Ali> Oddly MQ Water Temple is a breeze
05:13 <Schism> Zelda 3 is almost certainly the one she should start with, Vulpor.
05:13 <Ali> Or OoT
05:14 <Vulpor> She will learn as I learned
05:14 <Ali> Zelda 1 is wander around aimlessly cause there's no guide
05:14 <Ali> Same with Metroid
05:14 <Vulpor> She must go and find her sword
05:14 <Vulpor> She wants to try Zelda 1
05:14 <Schism> Ali: https://d3qdvvkm3r2z1i.cloudfront.net/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/85e4522595efc69f496374d01ef2bf13/t/a/takethis_thumb_1.png
05:14 <Ali> And then finally get the ITS DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE TAKE THIS joke
05:15 <Ali> Either that or scratch your face off and run away.
05:15 <Schism> Heck, even Original Flavour Link's Awakening would be better than Zelda 1.
05:15 <Vulpor> There are like 10 games I want to buy for it
05:15 <Ali> I still struggle with Zelda 1
05:16 <Schism> Vulpor: I hope one of those games is Monster Party. >_>
05:16 <Ali> Or MEGAMAN *shot with lemons*
05:16 <Schism> Few games so truly encapsulate the spirit of the NES.
05:16 <Vulpor> Zelda 1 Faxanadue Punch Out,
05:16 <Schism> Really, you could do worse than seeking out a copy of Mario All Stars + World, if you could find it.
05:17 <Schism> It's not the original NES games, but they're well done.
05:17 <Vulpor> Faxanadue was my first RPG
05:17 * Ali shoots lemons at Vulpor
05:17 <Vulpor> unless you count Zelda 1
05:17 <Schism> Never played that one myself. I did however find myself playing Simon's Quest for some time. And cursing.
05:17 <Ali> WHAT A TERRIBLE NIGHT FOR A CURSE
05:17 * Schism asks the graveyard duck.
05:17 <Vulpor> Ali I got Megaman Legacy
05:18 <Ali> 1 & 2?
05:18 <Vulpor> All 6 original games
05:18 <Vulpor> yup
05:18 <Ali> You need 9, 10 and 11
05:18 <Ali> 11 is pretty good
05:18 <Vulpor> gottem
05:18 * Ali wunts the X legacys but has no money
05:19 <Vulpor> If Nintendo would just let me buy NES games digitally I'd buy a Switch
05:19 <Ali> You could just sign up for Nintendo Online with a Switch and play NES games on it
05:19 <Vulpor> but they did that dumb butt subscription service
05:19 <PinkieShy> If Nintendo would remake the thousand year door game and put it on the switch.. I would buy that so fast Nintendo wouldn't believe their eyes.
05:19 <Vulpor> but not all the library Ali
05:19 <Vulpor> I just wanna buy like 10 games
05:20 <Vulpor> give them 30 bucks
05:20 <Vulpor> and leave me alone
05:20 <Vulpor> hell I got the Disney Afternoon Collection
05:21 <Vulpor> I've got the Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection
05:21 <Vulpor> Just gimme Zelda 1 Mario 1 2 and 3 Final Fantasy 1 and like 5 games
05:22 <Schism> PinkieShy, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door /was/ pretty great. Heck, Super Mario RPG was, too.
05:22 <Vulpor> over time individual companies have made it easy to play their stuff
05:22 * Schism attempts to fight a giant cake.
05:23 <Vulpor> hell Konami could charge 40 bucks for every Silent Hill and I'd give them that money
05:23 <Schism> Vulpor, please stop taunting the monkey's paw.
05:23 <Vulpor> All of this is because my fiance is new to gaming sorta
05:24 <PinkieShy> Worse game i ever played was on the Playstation 2..
05:24 <PinkieShy> it was called My Street..
05:24 <Vulpor> She knows just enough that I am just trying to walk her through the ages
05:25 <Schism> As strange as it sounds, at some point I'd like to see a rerelease of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.
05:25 <Vulpor> Scism my fiance has a CRT a PS1 and that game
05:25 <Schism> Hee.
05:26 <Schism> I suppose that's not so bad.
05:26 <Vulpor> trust me we are those mad crazy people
05:26 <Schism> Got a copy of Twisted Metal 2 as well?
05:26 <Schism> But really, THPS2 was possibly the best game in the series.
05:26 <Vulpor> it is just like "I know what I want and how I want it damn these companies"
05:27 <Vulpor> Twisted Metal 2 AND 3
05:27 <Schism> Nice. o3o
05:27 * Schism plonks a copy of CrossCode on Vulpor, too.
05:27 <Vulpor> wait a freaking minute
05:27 <Vulpor> ...........
05:27 <Vulpor> I am a dumbass
05:27 * Schism headtilts.
05:27 <Vulpor> I got a PS2 and PS1
05:28 <Vulpor> a CRT standard def TV
05:28 <Schism> You have options, is what you're saying.
05:28 <Vulpor> all I need is the freaking games
05:28 <Schism> Far be it from me to ever suggest modchipping your consoles.
05:28 <Schism> Surely that would be wrong.
05:29 <Vulpor> hell I got a Xbox 360 and all the good stuff with it
05:29 <Schism> After all, the original developers make all sorts of profits from the old PS1 and PS2 games that have never been rereleased.
05:29 <Vulpor> not these babbies
05:29 <Vulpor> Im talking a fatty PS2
05:29 <Vulpor> and a fatty PS3
05:30 * Ali is glad for having an first production Wii and Wii U
05:30 <Vulpor> garge sales are your friend kids!
05:30 <Ali> Yay for backwards compatability
05:31 <Vulpor> PS5 better work with my PS4 library
05:32 <PinkieShy> Who knows it might be like Google Stadia
05:32 <Schism> Vulpor: Don't be ridiculous. If it did, how would they get to sell you extended silver, gold, platinum and mythril copies of your favourite games?

05:32 <Vulpor> There is one game I am almost scared to buy my fiance
05:33 <Vulpor> Bioshock
05:33 <Schism> What's wrong with Bioshock? The first game was a rollicking barrel of fun.
05:33 <Schism> ( http://www.threepanelsoul.com/comic/on-daddy-take-downs )
05:33 <Vulpor> I know but Schism she does not know the twist
05:34 <Vulpor> she is completely going in dark
05:34 <Schism> That is the best way to play it, though.
05:34 <Vulpor> I know I just hope she does not give up on it
05:35 <Vulpor> both Bioshock and Infinite is great
05:35 <Schism> Not really a fan of Infinite so much.
05:35 <Vulpor> but she nay not enjoy it
05:35 <Vulpor> the ending for me was great
05:36 * Schism sidles up to Vulpor on one side. "Bird?" Then he sidles up to Vulpor on the other. "Or cage?"
05:36 <Vulpor> Always chose Bird

11:22 <Cepheid> How goes it?
11:23 <ConfusionRift> Doing alright. Have a few days off, so gonna try to enjoy them.
11:24 <Cepheid> Nice, nice. I have the whole week off to recover from infections aplenty myself.
11:25 <Cepheid> Which is good given my sinuses and ears. o3o;
11:27 * ConfusionRift nods.
11:30 <Cepheid> There are times when I feel compelled to do insane stuff. Like right now for example. I want to pick up one of them expensive PCIe LPGA devices and make a 2D graphics accelerator out of it.
11:31 <ConfusionRift> Wait, like an older display card?
11:32 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #1729 [ http://tinyurl.com/y35oabo8 ]
11:32 <Cepheid> Something like that. I'm of the belief they still have uses today. There are things that a modern GPU cannot do that we still use in this day and age.
11:32 <Cepheid> I want to do a research project to show this.
11:34 <Cepheid> Currently, GPUs are designed to accelerate 3D and only 3D. No basic 2D operations are possible.
11:35 <Cepheid> You ca get away with using GPGPU for 2D, but I'm not sure how efficient it is.
11:36 <Cepheid> The only operation that I am aware of that can still be "accelerates" these days are blitting. This is only because you can use vector operations to process multiple bits at a time.
11:36 <Cepheid> And even then, it is still a CPU operation.
11:37 * ConfusionRift looks at his RPG Maker project... he's not sure he likes where it's going.
11:37 <Cepheid> Oh. 2D is possible with a 3D rendering system.
11:37 <ConfusionRift> Well, yeah. Isn't that how many of the newer "2D" game work?
11:37 <Cepheid> But there are a number of operations you can't perform with 3D operations. Or at least, not without some roundabout thinking.
11:38 <Cepheid> Like, if you want to replicate mode 7 graphics properly... Well... It isn't easy.
11:38 <ConfusionRift> It wasn't easy back then, and I don't think it's any easier now. :P
11:39 <Cepheid> Rotation, scaling, translation, shearing. Those basic operations can be done. Needs a roundabout method though to look right if you intend to match it pixel-to-pixel to say, the SNES.
11:39 <ConfusionRift> What we see a lot is pseudo-Mode 7, which is a layered parallax scrolling.
11:39 * Dranae squishes Filly_Nightmares with hugs.
11:39 <Cepheid> I use said roundabout method in one of my games.
11:40 <Cepheid> Involves rendering everything to a 640x480 framebuffer to retain that pixelated look, and then drawing the framebuffer onto a quad, scaled to the display.
11:41 <Cepheid> I cant do the wavey function stuff though. Not yet, anyway.
11:41 <Cepheid> And heavens help me if I decide to do objects that explode, sending their pixels everywhere.
11:42 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
11:42 <Cepheid> That requires breaking the sprite or image down to n by m quads, each with the colour of the associated pixel, then applying transformations to EVERY BLOODY PIXEL.
11:43 <Dranae> Or
11:43 <Dranae> OR
11:43 <Dranae> Just explode them in a spray of random
11:43 <ConfusionRift> That reminds me. Heard of Noita?
11:43 <Cepheid> Fragment or vertex shaders can probably do it. Or a GPGPU solution.
11:43 <Cepheid> Noita, I am familiar with it. Same with Sand Simulator.
11:44 <Cepheid> Those probably use GPGPU or directly modify a backing buffer that is presented to the screen. If it is Small enough, it works.
11:45 <ConfusionRift> Don't know why, those came to mind. I know it's not an easy thing. Heck, it's an engine on its own to try to make something that has "physics" and properties like that
11:46 <Cepheid> It is admittedly an interesting problem. Since physics is not an iterative thing.
11:47 <Cepheid> Nor is it deterministic.
11:47 <ConfusionRift> One of those "super easy on paper, a pain in practice".
11:47 <Cepheid> The basic problem being that, when you move a particle, that movement causes a chain reaction, among other things.
11:48 <Cepheid> It is quite hard to describe the actual, low-level problem.
11:49 <Cepheid> You have thousands of particles tightly packed together. Each one needs to move. Which one do you start with?
11:49 <Dranae> Easy
11:49 <Dranae> All of them at once
11:49 * Filly_Nightmares purrs at Dranae and snugglies into warmsies!
11:50 <Cepheid> Presumably, in our physical world, the answer wouod be "all of them move first."
11:50 <Cepheid> But that in itself creates a problem in classical computing.
11:51 <Cepheid> Let us assume, for the moment, we act as though collision of these particles is ignored. They move in respect to their current(at this time step) physical attributes.
11:52 <Cepheid> We are left with particles that intersect particles. Now we have to account for this. Which one do we start with first? Same problem. We gotta work on all of them at once. So again, we act as if collisions don't matter when moving them. So we move them. Oops. Particles still intersecting particles.
11:52 <Cepheid> Repeat ad infinitum.
11:54 <Dranae> Assume all particles move at unit 1
11:54 <Cepheid> From a computing standpoint, I see the universe as impossible. If it is running on a computer as some theories posit, then it is a type of computer that we don't know of. I'm not even sure quantum computing can solve the problem.
11:54 <Dranae> For every particle, N, make position n+1
11:55 <Dranae> Also, quantum computing can solve the problem
11:55 <Dranae> because it can do multiple calculations simultaneously
11:55 <Cepheid> I'm not sure. All quantum computing introduces is ternary logic.
11:55 <Cepheid> At least, quantum computing as we know it right now.
11:55 <Cepheid> It introduces the concept of probability.
11:56 <Dranae> It also allows for making things happen at the same time
11:56 <Cepheid> No, not yet.
11:56 <Dranae> So you can, with a quantum computer, move all the particles at the same time
11:56 <Dranae> In theory, it does
11:56 <Cepheid> Current quantum computing right now just introduces probability to the mixture.
11:57 <Cepheid> You have a cubit, which has probability P of being a 1, and probability 1 - P of being a zero. The only way to know is to perform an operation that sets the value, then check the value.
11:57 <Cepheid> In theory. In practice it doesnt.
11:58 <Cepheid> It6s purely a probability thing right now.
11:58 <Cepheid> Anyways, BRB.
12:03 <Cepheid> My biggest concern about quantum computing really is the public perception of it.
12:05 <Cepheid> The name is going to lead to a lot of problems. On top of it all, it's advertised as a catch-all replacement solution to classical computing, when it isn't.
12:06 <Cepheid> Essentially, the current state of what quantum computing is, is simply adding probability to the mix. You set up a bunch of stuff, perform some calculations using it, then "collapse" the system to retrieve the relevant data. This collapse is what causes the probabilistic variables to take on a true/false value.
12:07 <Cepheid> And this collapse is essentially a necessity for gleaning any information from the computations.
12:08 <Cepheid> Oh my gods, school WHY!?
12:08 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm?
12:08 <Cepheid> I'm trying to answer this questionnaire they gave me for a visit to the PMC.
12:08 <Cepheid> It's in Excel spreadsheet format. It doesn't work with LibreOffice or OpenOffice.
12:08 <Cepheid> They *NEED* this before the appointment today at 9:30.
12:09 <Cepheid> But they're making it SUCH A PAIN TO WORK WITH because I can't even use Microsoft's cloud service, Office 365, to open it and fill it out.
12:09 <Cepheid> I have to download Office, which itself is taking bloody forever.
12:09 <Cepheid> And there's no guarantee it works with the downloaded version either.
12:09 <ConfusionRift> Wait, it doesn't work with Open or LibreOffice? Odd.
12:10 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait, they don't work with newer formats.
12:11 <ADragonDreaming> google drive might be able to handle it

12:13 <Cepheid> But I'll give Google Drive/Docs a shot.
12:14 <Cepheid> What I don't get, is why Excel?
12:14 <Cepheid> Why not use an SSL-encrypted, secure webpage?

12:17 <Cepheid> Failing that, I'll do what I can to print up the questionnaires somewhere, and just write my answers down on paper and hand them in at the meeting, with my explanation.
12:19 <Cepheid> ... Oh my gods.
12:19 <Cepheid> Not even Excel in Office 365 works with it.

12:20 <ConfusionRift> ...
12:20 <Cepheid> Oh, wait.
12:20 <Cepheid> It's because when I tried to modify it with Google Drive, it saved a version that excluded all the controls.
12:20 <ConfusionRift> Huh? Did something come to life?
12:23 <Cepheid> I re-downloaded the excel sheet as a brand new copy and opened that.
12:24 <Cepheid> Whatever Google Drive and Office 356 Cloud and other office suites do, it saves a modified version of the file excluding the things they don't want to handle.

13:02 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: No Plans Yet for a Season 8 or 9 My Little Pony DVD From Shout Factory [ http://tinyurl.com/y5647eqn ]
13:10 <Cepheid> Ah, apparently ITS is working on a solution for the above debacle I had. It won't be rolled out until next Spring, though.
13:11 <Cepheid> That said though, seriously? Excel? Why are you using that for questionnaires?
13:11 <Cepheid> Excel is a spreadsheet program. It is designed to do math calculations and output data. It's not meant to be used as a database(People have done this), nor is it meant to be used for questionnaires, or anything else.
13:11 <Cepheid> Stop using software for purposes not intended! o3o;
13:16 <Cepheid> Hum, so better resource spawning with no distance scaling stuff... As I understand it, RSO works by removing the autoplace stuff for ores. That's why, when you use RSO, you can't see ores being generated on the map preview. Because it outright prevents the game from using the default ore generation behaviour.
13:16 * ConfusionRift sighs. "This takes time. I keep forgetting that factoid."
13:16 <Cepheid> What RSO does, instead, is implement it's own noise functions, and registers to the "On Chunk Generate" callbacks. When these callbacks are triggered, the mod does it's math, and places the ores dynamically.
13:16 <Cepheid> What factoid?
13:17 <ConfusionRift> When it comes to making something, it be a game or an application, little things take time to get working.
13:17 <Cepheid> Yep.
13:18 <Cepheid> That's why, when you're designing and implementing a game, it helps to set milestones or subgoals.
13:18 <Cepheid> You have your ultimate goal. That's the completed game.
13:18 <Cepheid> Just that alone though is insufficient to make it feel like you're making progress.
13:18 <Cepheid> There needs to be goals along the way, that you can go towards.
13:19 <Cepheid> "Get text rendering working." "Get tile renderer working." "Render a room." "Render a sprite." "Get a sprite that moves along a set path."
13:19 <Cepheid> When you achieve these smaller goals, it helps you realize that, yes, you're making progress.
13:20 <Cepheid> Funny that I say that, but don't do it myself.
13:20 <Cepheid> I really should do that for my two projects.
13:21 <ConfusionRift> I know that would be the more optimal way to develop and finish a project... yet I fall on the same hole and sorta go with the flow instead.
13:21 <Cepheid> Hum.
13:28 <Reiko> Huh
13:39 * ConfusionRift flops.
13:51 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, speaking of me flopping whiled doing game things and such... (boops Cepheid with La-Mulana) It. Is. FINISHED! Except that one thing that would very likely destroy my controller.
13:53 <Cepheid> You messed up that one puzzle that requires the Dimensional Corridor miniboss, didn't you?
13:53 <ConfusionRift> Nope. Got iiiit.
13:53 <Cepheid> Good.
13:53 <Cepheid> I did it the hard way.
13:53 <Cepheid> I got it *AFTER* I permanently killed the miniboss.
13:54 <ConfusionRift> Uuurgh. That must have been... yeah...
13:54 <Cepheid> The boss is replaced by a pair of gremlins that float around and fire a ton of bullets. To get up to that ledge, you have to get hit by the bullets while in the RIGHT spot, to get knocked back onto it.
13:54 <Cepheid> And then you can go up, and promptly fall down.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> It was just irritating to get. And then having to fight the mini boss. And if one fails, pffft, have to do everything again.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, still, knockback is wonky sometimes.
13:56 <Cepheid> It's consistent, it's just it's hard to understand how it works.
13:57 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, congratulations. It's not an easy game to beat and solve.
13:57 <Cepheid> I'd normally suggest taking on La-Mulana 2 next, but... I'll be dead honest, don't.
13:57 <Cepheid> Not yet, anyways.
13:57 <ConfusionRift> In-game timer... 27 hours.
13:57 <Cepheid> ...
13:58 <Cepheid> Damn.
13:58 <Cepheid> It took me 62 hours.
13:58 * ConfusionRift looks at the game running time.
13:58 <Cepheid> It was mostly the riddles, puzzles, and refusal to use a guide.
13:58 <ConfusionRift> 70 hours.
13:58 <ConfusionRift> Now THAT makes sense.
13:59 <Cepheid> I'm not really a "riddle" or "puzzle" type person.
13:59 <Cepheid> Some puzzles I can solve, others, not so much.
13:59 <Cepheid> I can solve the type that involve numbers. Like the weight puzzle in the Tower of the Goddess.
13:59 <Cepheid> But I can't solve the "which one is telling the truth?" puzzles.
14:00 <Cepheid> Even though I know, logically, how to do so.
14:00 <ConfusionRift> There was a lot of cryptic or vague riddles, and let's not forget the stupidity that was the wedges.
14:00 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:00 <Cepheid> Yeah, that one is a notorious puzzle.
14:00 <Cepheid> I just bruteforced it, myself.
14:00 <Cepheid> Learning how it was done afterwards was... "Man, how am I supposed to figure that one out?"
14:01 <ConfusionRift> And I did read the manual.
14:01 <Cepheid> I think a large part of it was the Engrishy nature of some stuff. While the translation is accurate, it comes off as stilted, or "best guess".
14:01 <ConfusionRift> A lot of texts are hard to read, that's for sure.
14:01 <Cepheid> Plus, it doesn't help that the Eastern world thinks differently from the Western world.
14:01 <Cepheid> And, of course..
14:01 <Cepheid> The rare case where something cannot be translated properly.
14:02 <Cepheid> Those cases where, the best you can manage is "a best estimate."
14:02 <Cepheid> Or just an approximation.
14:03 <Cepheid> That said, I do know the translation is, to a degree, accurate.
14:03 <Cepheid> When I was dealing with that... ONE... puzzle.
14:03 <Cepheid> I thought maybe there was a mistranslation, because the hint given made no sense.
14:04 <Cepheid> So I turned the game to Japanese language mode, transcribed the hint, and translated it.
14:04 <Cepheid> The hint was word-for-word accurate.
14:04 <Cepheid> It wasn't mistranslated. It was deliberately misleading.
14:04 * ConfusionRift nods.
14:05 <Cepheid> That puzzle, by the way, being the one involving the Treasure That Should Remain Unseen.
14:05 <ConfusionRift> THAT temple?
14:05 <Cepheid> Yeah.
14:06 <ConfusionRift> I'm there at the moment. I just... I'm just burned out is all.
14:06 <Cepheid> Yeah.
14:06 <Cepheid> The game does that, because of all the travelling and such.
14:06 <Cepheid> Hum, how often did you die, out of curiousity?
14:07 <ConfusionRift> I'm guessing you're asking to which traps I fell into, or you mean overall deaths?
14:07 <Cepheid> Overall deaths.
14:08 <Cepheid> Because I'm just trying to figure out the discrepency between our times.
14:08 <ConfusionRift> Pfffffffttttttttttttt... I can't recall.
14:08 <Cepheid> My total time for La-Mulana on Steam was listed as like, 70-80 hours.
14:08 <ConfusionRift> Mine's is also 70.
14:08 <Cepheid> 98 hours, currently.
14:08 <Cepheid> But my in-game clock time for the completed time was 62 hours.
14:09 <Cepheid> The only reason I can conclude the discrepency, is because of deaths.
14:09 <Cepheid> The clock resets to whatever your last save was, when you die and reload/continue.
14:09 <ConfusionRift> Alright, confession time. There's a reason why my game file timer is so low.
14:09 <Cepheid> Oh?
14:09 <ConfusionRift> I loaded each time I died.
14:10 <ConfusionRift> I did NOT continue.
14:11 <ConfusionRift> There's a reason why i did that, and no, not an achievement.
14:11 <ConfusionRift> Let me see if I can find it...
14:12 <Cepheid> Reset the fairies?
14:12 <Cepheid> But my point still stands in that regard.
14:12 <Cepheid> The clock resets itself to the loading/continue point when you die.
14:13 <Cepheid> And judging from your commentary, you died a LOT.
14:13 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I only ever really died a lot with bosses.
14:13 <Cepheid> There were deaths caused by small enemies here and there, and traps, and such, but they were pretty far and in between.
14:13 <Cepheid> And often, once I fell for a trap, I didn't fall for it again. Ever. If it was triggered again, it's because I wanted to trigger it.
14:15 <Cepheid> Can't remember to do assignments, attend events, or make appointments on a regular basis.
14:15 <Cepheid> But remember the locations of minor enemies, their behaviours, and traps, as well as where to find items?
14:15 <Cepheid> I got a friggen eidetic memory.
14:15 <Cepheid> Especially with orienting and navigating.
14:18 <ConfusionRift> Because after some point, it becomes second nature, like everything's just part of the environment. Like the problems I had with Bahamut. At first, each retry was a struggle to climb and having to deal with the fish... with the wrong weapons. But after the third, I kept getting there with no damage.
14:19 <ConfusionRift> Where the fish jump from and to, where the bats are and usually fly to, how to jump to the other platforms, and just more efficient with time
14:20 <ConfusionRift> Eventually, "oh, I have to go to this place now", and just hop skip and jump my way there.
14:20 <ConfusionRift> Heck, got used to the random boulders in the Inferno Cavern.
14:22 <ConfusionRift> And just in case... https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/750339132401928556/A1E8BA171F53A52DD06CED25379A34239CE22CBC/ Not lying, I just don't know how at this point.
14:24 <ConfusionRift> The only thing I remember was that I could've sworn that a table mentioned something about dying causing something to disappear or not be accessible, so fromt that point I loaded with each death.
14:25 * DashedRainbows sniffs ConfusionRift and wags her tail
14:25 <Cepheid> Not dying, failure.
14:25 <ConfusionRift> And to be honest, I mostly remember the boss deaths, which were just... hmm, but maybe I didn't die as often as I thought.
14:25 <Cepheid> There are puzzles that, if you fail them, locks them out.
14:26 <Cepheid> The puzzle behind Pazuzu(?) in the Inferno Cavern is one.
14:26 <Cepheid> The weighted stones puzzle in the Tower of the Goddess is another.
14:26 <Cepheid> Both are weapons though, so they aren't critical.

14:33 <Cepheid> Except us students who don't know better.
14:34 <ConfusionRift> Oh, never mind. You can reset the weight puzzle.
14:35 <Cepheid> Both are reset, yeah.
14:35 <Cepheid> Granted, in that case I did the work earlier.
14:35 <Cepheid> Though, it's tricky because it requires knowing your La-Mulana numbers, and, on top of that, the weight of Lameza.
14:36 <Cepheid> And there's only one place you can figure that out, and it isn't explained what that place is for, or what it does. It's not used in anything else.
14:36 <ConfusionRift> Yep, which is on an obscure weighing station at the mausoleum.
14:36 <Cepheid> Yep.
14:37 <Cepheid> Bah, my laptop was discharging faster than usual thanks to Firefox and some websites. I'm outta battery. *Switches to phone.*
14:37 <ConfusionRift> A not obvious, out of place, out of reach without specific items, weighing station. And you wouldn't know it was one, unless you transcribed the symbols into numbers... which appear for just a second.
14:37 * DashedRainbows feeds Heartbreak some hay

14:41 <ConfusionRift> My problem was that not many would see that as something explicitly required for something. Then again, at the point of reaching the puzzle, it should be expected to have to check really old notes and transcripts.
14:43 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and you need to have the old translations ready, otherwise you will be missing half the hints, which are essential.
14:43 * DashedRainbows returns to licking Heartbreak after barking

14:44 <DashedRainbows> I did too*
14:50 <Heartbreak> DashedRainbows: Fetch this stick.
14:50 <Heartbreak> And stop licking at me or you'll be a very small filly.
14:58 * DashedRainbows licks more
15:02 <Heartbreak> Yup. Now you are smol filly time for you to go to school. I am not your teacher.
15:03 <Heartbreak> And for lunch? It's Chilli.

15:57 <Cepheid> Aaand I got on the wrong bus. Oh well. Can get off at Place d'Orleans and catch the 131.
15:58 <Schism> Yay, I have my shift schedule for after training.
15:59 <Cepheid> How is it?
15:59 <Schism> Wed-Sun, 8:45-5:15.
15:59 <Cepheid> Not too bad.
15:59 <Schism> Nah, I can work with it.
16:00 <Schism> It'll be an adjustment to get back to a day schedule after weeks of night training, but not too terrible.

16:02 <Schism> And shift bids are weighted, so if I want a different one after the Christmas season, all I need to do is stay on top of the metrics. Cake, that is.
16:04 <Schism> I also like how the WFM guy said, "Look. I know it'll spike your metrics a little, but if you're out of call or chat 3 minutes before break, stay in post-call so you don't screw up the schedule, please."
16:04 <Schism> Adherence to that is weighted. o3o
16:05 <Cepheid> Heh.
16:05 <Schism> Can't count how often I've received a long, long chat or call riiiight before break.
16:06 * Cepheid uses music to induce mania.
16:06 * Schism uses music to induce depression. Sad violin, that is.

16:08 * Schism plays Senya Ichiya (A Thousand and One Nights) for Ali.
16:08 <Cepheid> Least, I think it's mania. Probably closer to just imagination and insanity.
16:09 <Cepheid> Not sure what exactly triggers it, but certain sounds, beats, tempos, melodies. They induce my imagination to spawn imagery of various things. Most commonly, manifesting some sort of blazing sword, surrounded by
16:10 <Schism> That's not uncommon. o3o
16:10 <Cepheid> Erm. Stupid interruption.
16:10 <Cepheid> Anyhow? The sword is strangely surrounded by what I know are seals. Something holding it in.
16:11 <Cepheid> I like to think the blade itself is my temper made manifest.
16:11 <Schism> Seems to fit, aye.
16:12 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the other common visualizations are either a blazing, impossibly bright ball of flame and heat hovering behind me, often what appears to be eruptions akin to solar flares all over its surface.
16:13 <Cepheid> At one point in my life, I actually personified the rage, the anger. Believed myself to be both a living being with a soul, but also a living cage that would never die. That I am a walking vessel sealing something unknowable.
16:13 <Cepheid> This is an example of why I think I am insane.
16:15 <Cepheid> I have never met anyone else like myself. Someone who contains an infinite amount of rage, hatred, and desire for violence, with no explanation for why it is there.
16:15 <Cepheid> If I ever met such a person, they would likely be my soul mate. As we would probavly deign to handle and vent it through simply picking fights with each other.
16:17 <Cepheid> Which is probably also why I feel inclined towards martial arts. Maybe I feel I'll run into someone like myself in doing so.
16:17 * Schism noddles.
16:17 <Cepheid> I should have eaten before I left. Curses.
16:18 <Schism> Blech. I'm eating now, on those grounds.
16:24 <Cepheid> At home, at last.
16:26 <Cepheid> But yeah, there was, for a time, a separate entity within my head, as far as I was concerned, it was real, it existed within me, had a voice, appearance, and it's own views on things. It had a flat personality, though, as if trying not to show any particular emotion, especially anger, frustration, sadness, etc.
16:26 * Ali beeps Cepheid
16:26 <Ali> Been tested for any of those multi personality disorders?
16:26 <Cepheid> As for what happened to it, I kinda started thinking I was insane.
16:26 <Cepheid> Nah, I haven't.
16:27 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure I don't have multiple-personality disorder.
16:27 * Heartbreak boops Cepheid.
16:27 <Ali> Its gonna take me a few days to get over not getting the pony playmats
16:27 <Cepheid> As, far as I understand it, that usually implies that the personality takes over.
16:27 <Ali> I only have one other source that might of been able to grab it
16:27 <Ali> But I doubt they did, considering that it was an instant sell out.
16:28 * Ali pats Heartbreak on their back, leaving a DashedRainbows lick me sign on them
16:31 <Cepheid> Anyhow, aside from usual help with daily life, the only real details I could glean, were the gender, general appearance, code name they went by, and the fact that they appeared to be sealed away, and that said seal had a fracture on it. Which was the only reason I could hear it.
16:35 <Cepheid> Used to keep me sane. Probably shouldn't have suppressed it.
16:36 * DashedRainbows licks Heartbreak a lot
16:39 * Schism thinks that both the Ali and the HB are cute. Also, nods to Cepheid. "All my characters live in my head, so..."
16:39 * Ali ish not cute!
16:40 <Cepheid> 'Cept I didn't really consider it a character. More like an actual persona, or aspect.
16:42 <Schism> Oh, I know. But... like I've been known to say, characters start becoming real when they get out of your control.
16:42 <Schism> Randomly: http://www.threepanelsoul.com/comic/on-manipulation
16:42 <Cepheid> Heh.
16:43 <Cepheid> All I know, is that I was the one who could suffer and endure. They were the one who could stay calm, and fight.
16:44 <Cepheid> I complain about it, but I can endure some pretty harsh pain.
16:47 <DashedRainbows> Ali is adorable not cute :/
16:47 * Ali isn't that either!
16:48 <DashedRainbows> Enchantingly beautiful?
16:48 <DashedRainbows> Aesthetic?
16:50 * Ali puffycheeks
16:52 <DashedRainbows> Ali is a pony and ponies are cute thus Ali must be cute
16:52 <DashedRainbows> Logic!
16:56 <Cepheid> Mmm. "All things have a beginning, and all things have an end. This is an existential Rule. None are above it, exempt from it, not even the Enforcers of the Rule. They too, shall one day end. Those who show flagrant disregard for the Rule, and attempt to defy or manipulate it, shall be brought before the Enforcers, judged, and if necessary, be erased from existence for their crimes." *Yammers on and on, while thinking.*
