05:09 <Jackie> !link https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dEb22ctF_7w

05:09 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

05:09 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Worst Video Game Music - Isle of the Dead

05:10 <ConfusionRift> That's MIDI for ya. :P

05:10 <Schism> Hey now, there were some great themes from back in the day.  o3o;

05:11 <ConfusionRift> You aren't wrong, just that some of the early works were... yeah.

05:11 <Tirek> Who made this, they need to be smacked.

05:11 <ConfusionRift> ^ :P

05:11 <Tirek> This is so bad, it summoned me from the pits of tartarus just to infuriate me.

05:12 <ConfusionRift> Yep! Hahaha!

05:15 <Jackie> Sounds spooky

05:16 * DashedRainbows sits by ConfusionRift and barks

05:16 <Jackie> I can't believe there's so many crappy DOS games back then

05:17 * ConfusionRift grabs the stick by DashedRainbows and throws it again. :P

05:17 <ConfusionRift> Shovelware was as old as time itself. :P

05:18 * DashedRainbows goes to not reyirn

05:18 <ConfusionRift> Alas, some of the "bad" games were actually pretty good and challenging.

05:18 <DashedRainbows> Return dammit

05:20 <Schism> If you're going to be listening to old VG music, at least have the good grace to put on something by, say, Tommy Tallarico.

05:21 <Jackie> Hong Kong 97

05:21 * ConfusionRift has played other PC games, but the one he remembers the most is Terminal Velocity.

05:21 * ConfusionRift stares at Jackie. 0_0

05:22 <Jackie> It's so awful

05:22 <ConfusionRift> Well, it was an unlicensed game... "game".

05:23 <ConfusionRift> That's cheating. :P

05:24 <Jackie> There are good unlicensed games

05:24 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, but not many.

05:25 <ConfusionRift> "This song has been stuck in my head for at least 20 years....I'm so glad I finally utilized this, what do you call it, internet machine?" - This comment describes Terminal Velocity for me.

05:25 <Jackie> Unlicensed means nothing lol

05:27 * DashedRainbows finally returns to sad on a random pony

05:27 <Jackie> Because I had fun making homebrew games

05:27 * ConfusionRift pets DashedRainbows, then offers a treat.

05:29 * Jackie2 pats DashedRainbows

05:33 <DashedRainbows> Maybe the med will help but I have no reason to believe that

05:36 *** Jackie2 is now known as Jackie

05:36 <Jackie> It sucks that my OC rarely do anything nlwadays

05:36 <Jackie> *nowadays

05:39 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

05:40 <DashedRainbows> It'll all be downhill from here

05:55 <DashedRainbows> It's not even recent, the end started years ago

06:03 * Dranae picks Ali up like a LoZ item.

06:04 * Ali floats over Dranae

06:04 * Dranae glomps Ali now.

06:04 <Schism> "You found a Garudo Training Grounds key!"

06:04 <Schism> Gerudo*

06:04 <Ali> You found a green rupee.  That's worth one rupee.

06:05 <Schism> You found a single arrow.  Lucky!

06:06 <ConfusionRift> Oh nice. Everyone's finding nice stuff. (opens chest, ice trap)

06:07 * Dranae equips Ali as a hat.

06:07 * Ali is cursed, she curses Dranae with uncute

06:08 * Dranae has never had 'cute' as part of his thing anyway. Big, strong, devilishly rugged griff.

06:08 * Schism holds up a plush Dranae.

06:09 * ConfusionRift holds up a Schism plush holding a plush Dranae. :P

06:09 * Dranae points out that it has real griff-pecking action! Pulls a string, plush pecks Schism.

06:10 <Schism> 206.2 is a perfectly reasonable explanation.  https://www.fimfiction.net/story/98568/215/mlp-time-loops/mlp-loops-206

06:14 * DashedRainbows sits by Ali and sighs before drinking tea

06:14 <DashedRainbows> Tummy pain :(

06:15 <Dranae> Huh.

06:15 <Dranae> This character in Peace Walker is voiced by Twily

06:15 <DashedRainbows> Tara is everywhere...

06:16 <Dranae> I've already beaten, I think, MGS V

06:17 <Dranae> Now I'm playing Peace Walker

06:17 <Dranae> Because I'm backwards

06:17 <Dranae> sue me

06:18 * ConfusionRift sues Dranae.

06:19 <ConfusionRift> You are now... a Mary Sue. :P

06:19 <Schism> "Need I remind you that Celestia was present at the Great Sponge Cake Migration?" "Those sponge cakes didn't get very far." "That's not the point."

06:20 <ConfusionRift> There's a reason why the sun is so big. | "..." | ...what?

06:21 <ConfusionRift> Sponge Cakes are now an endangered species.

06:21 * ConfusionRift watches as one pony just can't stop laughing, and another is making signs for him to cut it out.

06:23 * DashedRainbows boops ConfusionRift, just because

06:24 * ConfusionRift reboops DashedRainbows. :P

06:24 * DashedRainbows sneezes

06:24 <ConfusionRift> Oh, sowwy.

06:25 * DashedRainbows bounces around

06:26 * ConfusionRift pirouettes in one place. "...WHAT IS HAPPENING!"

06:27 * ConfusionRift notices the laughing pony laughing even harder.

06:27 <DashedRainbows> Oh noez that means... Something

06:32 <ConfusionRift> "Didn't know such a heavy pony could do such a well balanced spin like that." | Please... make it stop... | "Fine fine. Fun's over."

06:33 * ConfusionRift flops hard.

06:38 <Dranae> okay

06:38 <Dranae> the controls are backwards

06:39 <Dranae> and the graphics are terrible

06:39 <Dranae> I'm done

06:39 <ConfusionRift> Heh?

06:39 <Dranae> MGS Peace Walker

06:40 <ConfusionRift> Not sure why the controls are backwards, though I'm sure they can be configured. Also, it was originally a PSP game, so the graphics are not gonna be great.

06:40 <Dranae> Oh, I see

06:40 <Dranae> Honestly I like the theme of Phantom Pain

06:41 <Dranae> building an army

06:41 <Dranae> and all

06:42 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, they're completely different beasts.

06:42 <PinkieShy> Hearing about drama with my brother again is getting on my last nerves..

06:43 <PinkieShy> Drama between him and his wife possibly separating soon.

06:45 <PinkieShy> Even though I'll be 26 this December.. I feel like.. I'm to old to hear about drama or even deal with it myself..

06:48 <DashedRainbows> Sigh

06:50 * PinkieShy boops Dashie

06:50 * DashedRainbows sneezes

06:52 <DashedRainbows> It's cold and it hurts

06:53 * Dranae sits directly on top of DashedRainbows. A big griff will warm them right up!

06:54 <DashedRainbows> The good part is that things get a little better before going up in flames

06:55 <DashedRainbows> Why is it so cold

06:57 <DashedRainbows> Remember, climate change isn't real and it's normal to freeze your butt off in the Texas fall

06:57 <Dranae> lol

06:57 <ConfusionRift> Weather being weird?

06:57 <Dranae> DashedRainbows, clearly this means global warming is a myth, Texas is cold!!!111

06:58 <PinkieShy> this is why its called climate change.

06:58 * Dranae was, clearly, joking.

06:59 <DashedRainbows> So says our great president

06:59 * DashedRainbows violently hurls at saying that

07:00 <Dranae> DashedRainbows, to cheer yourself up

07:00 <Dranae> Watch the closeup of him getting booed at the baseball game.

07:01 <Dranae> You can watch his lip quiver as he tries not to cry and it is hilarious

07:01 <DashedRainbows> It's amazing

07:02 <DashedRainbows> I feel slightly less pity for humanity

07:03 <Dranae> I watched that

07:03 <Dranae> and it was cathartic

07:03 <Dranae> He came out of his bubble expecting to be hailed for the whole what's-his-terrorist thing

07:03 <Dranae> and got booed so hard it registered on the freaking Richter Scale

07:06 <DashedRainbows> Ultimately, though, he was elected and that is depressing

07:10 * DashedRainbows raises her front hooves

07:10 <PinkieShy> I want.. Pizza right now oddly xD

07:11 <PinkieShy> But i got no pizza.. Just a ton of starburst, and butterfingers..

07:12 <Dranae> You know what I like

07:12 * Schism takes a giant sugar cookie, applies some ice cream to it, then covers in crushed butterfingers and twix. "Behold. Candy pizza."

07:12 <Dranae> Stargate

07:12 <Dranae> It introduced me to a weapon I never would have liked otherwise

07:12 <Dranae> The P90

07:12 <Dranae> And PDWs in general

07:12 <Dranae> That silly looking thing made me fall in like with bullpupped rifles

07:12 <Schism> Or alternately: https://poorcouplesfoodguide.com/2016/11/07/pizza-lab-46-butterfingers-pizza/

07:13 * DashedRainbows paws at Dranae

07:13 <Dranae> what

07:13 * ConfusionRift is reminded of the chocolate lasagna,

07:13 * Dranae pokes DashedRainbows.

07:13 <DashedRainbows> Eep

07:13 <Dranae> What's up?

07:14 <DashedRainbows> Nothing at all

07:15 <ConfusionRift> https://i.imgur.com/1oh2a1a.jpg Just looking at it makes me shutter.

07:17 * Dranae starts drooling

07:17 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;

07:18 * DashedRainbows drools too

07:18 <Dranae> Just swap marshmallows

07:18 <Dranae> for Zero Bars

07:18 <Schism> Remember: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/eating-kit-kats-the-wrong-way

07:18 <PinkieShy> I got a giant bag of Rarity to eat.. :P

07:18 <PinkieShy> Rarity is best marshmallow

10:13 * Cepheid graaaaghs awake.

10:13 <ConfusionRift> Hallo.

10:13 <Cepheid> How goes it?

10:14 <ConfusionRift> Doing alright. Just doing some more RPG Maker stuff.

10:15 <Cepheid> Cool.  Just woke up here.  Little sore, but nothing I can't handle.

10:17 <ConfusionRift> As usual... kinda figuring what I can do in terms of development. Kinda got an idea, so it's mostly execution.

10:20 <Cepheid> Got a hell of a lot of swelling though, also expecting it to turn a nice shade of blue later.

10:21 <ConfusionRift> Woah... huh? Your sore spot is swelling?!

10:22 <Cepheid> Oh right.  You weren't around.  Had a meltdown, vented.

10:22 <Cepheid> Punched a cement wall.  Then struck it really hard from the side.  Then with my left arm.

10:23 <ConfusionRift> Oooooh... yeah... swelling is sure to follow.

10:23 <Cepheid> So the area around the fourth and fifth metacarpal is swollen up a bit and bruised.

10:25 <Cepheid> Nothing broken at least.

10:26 <Cepheid> Anyhoo shower time.

10:54 <Cepheid> Hum.  Hell of a mark on my elbow.

10:56 <Cepheid> Wonder how close to a break I was.

10:57 <Cepheid> Can't imagine it would have taken a third hit.

11:12 *** Joins: danwellby (danwellby@The.lone.griffon)

11:18 <Cepheid> Cold day today.

11:20 * ConfusionRift nods while bundled in like 5 comforters.

11:26 <Cepheid> No heating?

11:27 <ConfusionRift> Nope.

11:30 <Cepheid> Still.  Five comforters seems excessive.

11:31 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/crapmachine/status/1189298680899215365?s=19

11:31 * ConfusionRift catches fire. "Nah, it's fine." :P

11:31 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)

11:31 * DashedRainbows paws at ConfusionRift. You look like you could use a warm pony

11:31 <ConfusionRift> Ohboy... what could possibly go wrong?

11:32 * ConfusionRift pets DashedRainbows from the ball of fire.

11:32 <Cepheid> Babies get eaten.  That's what could go wrong.

11:32 <ConfusionRift> Naaaaaaaaaah... maybe... :P

11:34 * Cepheid meanwhile sits out in 10C weather in a sweater.

11:35 <DashedRainbows> Ponies are nice to hold and cuddle cause warm. Is freezing

11:37 <Cepheid> Mm.  Service dog in training.  Looks like a husky.  Nice breed.

11:39 <Cepheid> Lot of  training it.  Trainer is keeping a steady eye on it at all times.

11:39 <Cepheid> Er lot of effort training it*

11:40 * ConfusionRift gets out of the fire, and huggles DashedRainbows. :P

11:41 <Cepheid> Hum.  After the exodus from GitHub to GitLab, due to microsoft claiming ownership of GitHub...

11:42 <Cepheid> GitLab considered collecting telemetry of its users, new and old, and had planned to sell the data to third-party firma.

11:42 <Cepheid> Firms*

11:42 <Cepheid> Apparently, they quickly backtracked.  The outrage was exceptional.

11:43 <Cepheid> Doesn't matter where you go, people are gonna try to sell your info.

11:43 <Cepheid> It's good money.

11:43 * ConfusionRift nods.

11:44 <ConfusionRift> "Because EVERYONE is doing it!"

11:47 <Cepheid> Less that and more, information is useful.

11:47 <ConfusionRift> Well, yeah.

11:48 <Cepheid> Can be used for all sorts of things.  Information about a computer, for example, can guide what kinds of optimizations, platforms, and the like to target.

11:48 <ConfusionRift> It helps in marketing, product projections, and to tell what the clientele is normally looking for.

11:48 <Cepheid> Or using.

11:49 <Cepheid> But yes, companies are primarily interested in information that helps direct development of their products.

11:49 <Cepheid> Or advertising.

11:51 <Cepheid> And the costs of that information is usually a fraction of the amount of money they get in return.  Presumably, given the frequency of sale, and how quick companies are to turn towards it, the margin between cost and profit must be quite large.

11:52 <Cepheid> The best part to is it can be done legally by abusing a simple loophole.

11:53 <Cepheid> People are unwilling to read every single EULA and other such documents, on the grounds that some of them are like, 20 pages long.  All it takes is a user who won't read it, click accept without reading it, and a statement hidden deep inside.

11:56 * ConfusionRift nods. "That's how some games got flak as of recent."

11:56 <Cepheid> Myself, the only information sold would likely be that which helps develop more secure software.  That would mostly entail informationnabout any hardware encryption the computer supports, hardware RNGs, reliability of said RNGs, and vulnerabilities affecting the hardware directly.  With no identifying information.  Just statistics.

11:57 <Cepheid> As in... "has x" "has y" "has z".

12:02 <Cepheid> Truth told, getting statistics like that from gamers for video purposes sould be nice.

12:03 <Cepheid> Get an idea as to which video card is being used, what CPU, instruction sets supported, OpenGL extensions supported, Vulkan extensions supported, D3D functionality supported..  whether it passed fuzzing tests.

12:04 <Cepheid> The fuzzing tests are really important.

12:05 <Cepheid> Reason being, you could have two drivers claiming conformance to a standard, but when you go to run an application that uses the API of that standard, the result is different.  Perhaps slightly.  Perhaps considerably.  Perhaps one just refuses to run.

12:05 <Cepheid> Intel is known for this.

12:05 <Cepheid> Their Linux and Windows drivers handle GLSL shaders differently as I recently learned.

12:11 <Cepheid> Either that, or the graphics library I'm using doesn't initialize OpenGL properly.

12:12 <Cepheid> In any case, under Linux, I'm allowed to use gl_FragColor in a fragment shader for OpenGL versions beyond 3.2, despite not using a compatibility profile.  Under Windows, this is, as expected, not allowed.  Strangely, it is required under the Linux case.

12:13 <Cepheid> Anyhow, need to send off an e-mail.  I noticed a detail in the course syllabus for gamedev.

12:13 <Cepheid> If it's interpreted the way I think it is, there's no point in me doing the rest of the work for it.

12:13 <Cepheid> As no matter how much effort or studying I put into it, I'm getting an F.

12:20 <Cepheid> That said, still gonna work on the assignment due tonight, just in case. o3o

12:22 <ConfusionRift> Would be a good idea methinks.

12:23 <Cepheid> Today will be a busy day because of it.  Haven't started it yet.  >.>;

12:24 <ConfusionRift> Ooooooooh.

12:24 <Cepheid> ... Wait, wait wait wait.

12:24 <Cepheid> The assignment submission page reads "Time remaining: 2 days, 15 hours."

12:25 <Cepheid> That's Friday, as normal for assignments.  Not Tonight, like the course schedule says.

12:26 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmmmmmm!

12:27 <Cepheid> Either that schedule is old, or the prof changed the due date over the reading week.

12:29 <Cepheid> Also, a problem I thought was with cmake, was apparently a fault of my professor.

12:33 <Cepheid> I rescind that statement.

12:33 <Cepheid> The line in question did something else.

12:34 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;

12:35 <Cepheid> There is an actual problem I have with CMake, though.

12:35 <Cepheid> It doesn't seem to actually link against debug libraries when doing a debug build.  At least, under Windows, anyways.

12:38 <Cepheid> I'd like to ask Finwe something, but he'd likely interpret what I'm talking about in definitions that he has, rather than the ones that are being used in my case...

12:39 <ConfusionRift> Who knows, really. It's always a flip of a coin. :P

12:40 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:41 <Cepheid> Basically, it has to do with using quaternions instead of matrices to represent rotations in 3D graphics.

12:41 <Cepheid> The problem is that the mathematical definition of a quaternion does not align with the 3D graphics definition of a quaternion.

12:42 <Cepheid> In mathematics, they're a 4-tuple that involve imaginary numbers.  In 3D graphics, imaginary numbers aren't involved at all.  They're closer in line with a way of representing axis-angle rotations, though not quite.

12:44 <Cepheid> I'm mostly curious as to how to infer the result of multiplying two quaternions together in such a context.

12:45 <Cepheid> Ah, study room is open.  Be right back, gonna move.

12:48 <Cepheid> I am talkative this morning.  Also, back.

12:48 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe.

12:51 <Cepheid> You know, the best way for me to understand quaternions, outside of what I know of them(Their operations and structures) is to just play with them.

14:04 <Cepheid> So, update on failed exam status.

14:04 <Cepheid> The professor's going to discard the midterm if I do a better job on the final.

14:04 <Cepheid> So if I get more than 42% on the final exam, he'll discard the midterm.

14:12 <Koopz> whenever one of those pics that are constantly being posted on facebook like "@S needs to buy you a drink this weekend" or some mildly humorous joke that can only entertain normies i can't help but wonder how the companies behind those sites look like and what kind of people are working there... they either must be normies themselves (which i doubt

14:12 <Koopz> since they don't know what "viral" means) or they're people that can't help laughing at how much money they can generate by entertaining "the lower class" with such small effort...

14:13 <Koopz> ah... my mind jumped a bit there, leaving out a few words

14:15 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:34 <Cepheid> I suffered more damage than I thought from my meltdown yesterday.

14:34 <Cepheid> The impact with my left arm has left some of the muscles in my back sore as well.

14:34 <Cepheid> Just... how much force did I apply?
