01:03 <Cepheid> This week's been a trainwreck. But from here on out, I intend to recover.
01:03 <Schism> I'm glad to hear that. The latter, anyway.
01:03 <Schism> You have an extra hour to do so, too.
01:06 <Cepheid> Actually I'm done of schoolwork for the day. Been working non-stop since 10 AM or so.
01:07 <Ali> Dear lord Cepheid, but I hope the studies are going better with the focus on it.
01:07 <Cepheid> Yep.
01:07 <Cepheid> I made the mistake of slacking off, and I paid for it.
01:07 <Cepheid> Not anymore.
01:09 <Schism> I'm in kind of the same boat with my workplace. As I put it to my coworkers, I'm going to do my best to treat every day like my first day.
01:09 <Schism> Because I've [yay]'d up in the past for growing complacent and letting things slide.
01:11 <Schism> You might like this new song, Cepheid. I'd say spoilers, but you've played NieR and you don't really do FFXIV anymore.
01:11 <Cepheid> I'd like to play FFXIV though, and NieR, I haven't gotten around to it yet.

03:04 <Stormspark> I actually have Eternal Darkness in the pile of games next to me
03:04 <Stormspark> and my Gamecube outputs HDMI so I can use it on a modern display
03:04 <Schism> Nice. Though what modern display doesn't have components?
03:04 <Stormspark> I don't own a TV, my monitor only supports HDMI and DisplayPort
03:05 <Schism> There's more than enough room for the damn things... oh. Okay.
03:05 <Stormspark> I haven't owned a TV since 2007
03:05 <Stormspark> I haven't owned a TV since 2007
03:05 <Stormspark> oops
03:05 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: Indeed.
03:05 <Stormspark> my receiver only supports HDMI also
03:05 <Stormspark> it supports analog audio, but it only has 1 analog input for audio. All my consoles can output HDMI though so not a problem
03:05 <Stormspark> I use it for my computer's audio but I'm using toslink for that
03:06 <Stormspark> My setup is COMPLETELY digital, well obviously except for the speakers themselves since they can't be
03:07 <Cepheid> Okay game, why the checkpoint? *Reloads everything*
03:07 <Stormspark> I currently have a Gamecube, Wii U, and Switch hooked up
03:07 <Stormspark> and the Gamecube can output HDMI with no hardware mods
03:08 <Cepheid> Gods damnit these guys again?
03:08 <Stormspark> I also have the SD Media Launcher with Swiss set up on it, so I can play the PAL version of Metroid Prime (the good/completed version) in 480p even though it doesn't support it (it supports 60Hz, but only 480i)
03:08 <Stormspark> Swiss can force any game to run in 480p, if the game supports it or not. Pretty awesome little utility
03:09 <Stormspark> the HDMI adapter I have for my GC's digital port DOES do line doubling for 480i, so I still get video (my monitor does not support interlacing at all), but it has that nasty jitter effect that 480i always does, so it's better to force it to progressive

03:20 <Schism> O
03:20 <Schism> I'm pretty sure I threw too many bullets into just such a corpse in Silent Hill 3.
03:21 <Cepheid> Heh.
03:22 <Cepheid> Here, enemies can come back if they fall over dead from conventional methods. Headshot kills tend to be effective.
03:22 <Schism> Well, same for in the Silent Hill series. Remember how you had to perform a finishing blow, like a footstomp, for many foes?
03:23 <Cepheid> Oh, right, right.
03:23 <Schism> Unless you made absolutely certain, then that nurse was going to come back over and try to peel off your face.
03:25 <Schism> Of course, the real trick was that if you killed too many enemies, that'd net you the bad end.

04:58 <Schism> BECAUSE Dead Rising 2 has a NewGame+ mode, I'm half tempted to just let Katey die on the first go and simply enjoy faffing about.
04:59 <Schism> Capybaras, by definition, do not care.
05:00 <Cepheid> The nature of the dead rising series is that you win by doing numerous new game+ cycles usually.
05:00 * Schism nodnods.
05:00 <Cepheid> You can do it on your first run, but it is difficult.
05:01 <Schism> Something to do once you understand the whole game.
05:03 <Schism> PC controls are kind of sluggish, but I'm given to understand that ALL controls are sluggish for the type of game it is.
05:03 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)
05:05 * ConfusionRift slowly nods.
05:05 <Cepheid> The game isn't well-optimized either. CPU bound by a large margin.
05:06 <Schism> It's a crappy port, to be sure. Not the worst, though. At least the software mouse does respond in a modestly timely fashion, and the controls feel less like I'm having a hard time moving, and more like the guy with his 5-year-old daughter on his back is kinda gonna have a bit of inertia.
05:07 <Schism> Or the guy dragging a fire axe attached to a mailbox.
05:09 <Schism> The worst port I've played has to be Dark Souls, but that was a given.
05:10 <Schism> (Megaman 3 _would_ qualify if it were actually a port and not an entirely new game for PC shoveled out to a third-party developer with Sun-Maid Raisin boxes in place of heads.)
05:10 * Schism boops the Ali for confirmation.
05:11 <Ali> Huh what?
05:11 <Schism> Megaman 3 PC. Execrable, yes?
05:11 <Ali> What do you mean Megaman 3 PC?
05:11 <Schism> There was, WAY BACK WHEN, a Megaman game released for DOS.
05:11 <Ali> That is Megaman DOS
05:12 <Ali> Not Megaman 3
05:12 *** Quits: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-lcj.0ji.9.61.IP) (Connection closed)
05:12 <ConfusionRift> Not exactly an official one though.
05:12 <Schism> Yes, but it was advertised as a variant of Megaman 3.
05:12 <Ali> And it as bad
05:12 *** Joins: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-lcj.0ji.9.61.IP)
05:12 <Schism> It is very bad.
05:12 <ConfusionRift> And then there was Sonic & Knuc- (pukes oil)
05:12 <Schism> I distinctly remember it being marketed as MM3.
05:12 <Ali> I don't remember Schism
05:12 <ConfusionRift> That one also hurts by just mentioning.
05:12 <Ali> But I don't think it was called 3
05:13 <Ali> ConfusionRift, Sanic and Knuckles PC was at least playable
05:13 <Ali> Unlike Sonic Heroes PC T.T
05:13 <Schism> I guess it doesn't matter, it was bad, we all agree.
05:13 <ConfusionRift> Barely. And the MIDI music... and the removal/replacement of MJ songs...
05:15 * ConfusionRift forgot about Sonic Genesis. "NEVER MIND. That one is a stupid, nasty, ugly port."
05:16 <Jackie> Am I the only one that plays Carmageddon?
05:16 <Schism> Good heavens, that was... a thing.
05:17 <Schism> From the same era, I still remember Magic Carpet fondly, despite myself.
05:17 <Jackie> I love running over pedestrians in that game and destroying cars
05:18 <Schism> Oh, ConfusionRift: Have you played NieR?
05:18 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "Haven't played it. No idea if there were port differences."
05:18 <ConfusionRift> Partly.
05:19 <Schism> Oh, not a port thing. Just that there's a NieR/FFXIV crossover with excellent music.
05:19 <ConfusionRift> I have the game... but by the time I got it, the XBOX had a dive.
05:20 <ConfusionRift> The port I was referring to was of Carmageddon.

05:30 <ConfusionRift> ...okay?
05:31 * ConfusionRift feels a tad conflicted about this version.
05:32 <Cepheid> Confusion, they used the cleft of dimensions as their excuse. It connects all unrelated worlds via a sort of nexus.
05:32 <ConfusionRift> That'll work. :P
05:33 <Cepheid> I get the feeling FF14 is going to end via convergence. A coalescing of all worlds into one.
05:33 <Schism> It seems to be pointing towards that, at least in part. However, [DATA REDACTED] ...wait. That's not. I mean that [SPOILER REDACTED] damnit.
05:34 <Schism> Anyway, THE VOID. That's what Exdeath threw Gilgamesh into, anyway.
05:35 <ConfusionRift> Aah, the excuse hole. :P
05:35 <Schism> Gilgamesh then winds up in FFXIV as his boisterous self.
05:35 * ConfusionRift sighs, then flops.
05:35 <Schism> Alongside two other nutcases who, ConfusionRift, you would ADORE.
05:36 <Cepheid> Thought it was the cleft. But yeah, it is actually the void now that I think about it. But yeah, FF5 created the thing that effectively lets any world connect to the FF world.
05:36 <Schism> It's both. I'm pretty sure it's also that timeless space in FFVIII.
05:36 <ConfusionRift> As I said, the excuse hole.
05:36 <Schism> That too.
05:36 <Cepheid> Arguably one other game series has something big like that. Witcher series. Portals can lead to worlds unheard of, and described in fantastic manners.
05:37 <Schism> I also suggest Planescape: Torment.
05:37 <Schism> The City of Doors is kind of a multiversal thing.
05:37 <Cepheid> Like worlds of autonomous machines. Cyberpunk worlds and the like.
05:38 <Schism> Oh, and then there's the MYST series. Lots of travel between universes to be had there, with nexuseseses... nexii... nexironi. Whatever, Gahreesan was pretty much a multiversal choke point.
05:38 <ConfusionRift> "You're not getting out alive, 2P!" Waaaaait wait wait... I caught that.
05:38 <Schism> Lots of references to be had.
05:41 <Schism> "You cannot possibly be charging off the ionisphere." "Why not? There's plenty enough radiation out there, enough to murderize me. All I've gotta do is put up an absorption barrier and voila." "That sounds like cheating." "Too bad! YAHAHAHOOOOEY!" "You goofy bastard."
05:46 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe.
05:47 <Schism> If I ever become a supervillain, I'd be the sort that doesn't actually kill anyone, just tweaks a few noses. Has a flying island, cleans up the atmosphere when nobody else can, messes with heads, perches in pixie form atop a few politicians' shoulders and whispers sweet nothings into their ears.
05:48 <Schism> You know. Minor acts of villainy.
05:51 <Schism> (The fact that cleaning up the atmosphere would also grant me enough carbon to drop diamonds onto politicians' heads from lower Earth orbit has not ever occurred to me.)
05:57 <Schism> "Wh... why am I so woozy?!" "I'm siphoning off some of the heat of atmospheric re-entry and using it to cast an overpowering sleep spell so that you don't wind up killing us both. Now shut up and take a nap."
05:59 <Schism> "Fr--iction..." "... on second thought, stay alive. I might need you for stupidly good ideas."

06:20 <Ali> I repeat my previous statement
06:20 <Ali> I liked NOT changing time
06:20 <ConfusionRift> ^ Saaaame.
06:20 <Schism> Yup. I hate it too.
06:21 <Ali> I never had to change time up until 06 when the stupid state passed the law for DST
06:21 <ConfusionRift> P.R. doesn't have DST, so I was never into it. I had to deal with that once I moved here.
06:22 <Ali> Arizona is one of the few states that doesn't do DST
06:23 <Ali> My state used to be on that list up until 06 *grumbles*

06:32 <Schism> ConfusionRift: You could do a LM randomizer.
06:32 <Schism> Now that you know where everything is, that is.
06:32 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, was thinking about it. Though, I forget some of the details. Oh well, got most of it noted.
06:33 <Schism> The big details are, for example, that hidden coin chest in the Spring in the Sky, or the one in the waterfall in the Surface.
06:34 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me. I was watching another run yesterday and... there was a shortcut from the Gate of Time leading to the Tower of the Goddess.
06:34 <Schism> That there is.
06:34 <Schism> You have to whip that specific location TWENTY TIMES.
06:34 <ConfusionRift> Talk about a hop.
06:34 <Schism> Or hit it, anyway.
06:34 <ConfusionRift> Knife, actually. :P
06:34 <ConfusionRift> The shortcut is on the floor.
06:34 <Schism> Katana works. Or rolling shuriken.
06:35 <ConfusionRift> Also... were the coin chests important? There were a few that I just skipped completely.
06:35 <Schism> It's a game breaker, though, in the literal sense. Going through that area the hard way can also be readily accomplished by breaking the passage leading from the pipe section to the lower area.
06:36 <Schism> ConfusionRift: Not normally, no. But in a randomizer...!
06:36 <ConfusionRift> Oh noooo... the randomizer affects ALL chests, huh.
06:36 <Schism> Yuuuuuuup.
06:36 <Schism> [ You gained 1 rupee! Yay! ]
06:36 <ConfusionRift> Poopie.
06:36 <Schism> I can roll a nice, easy seed if you want. And play it along with you.
06:37 <Colgate> hmm, which randomizer?
06:37 <ConfusionRift> I can't even find the randomizer.
06:37 <Schism> La-Mulana Randomizer.
06:37 <Schism> This thingy. https://github.com/thezerothcat/LaMulanaRandomizer
06:38 <Schism> Even better link: https://github.com/thezerothcat/LaMulanaRandomizer/wiki
06:38 <Schism> Though you need Java 11 for it.
06:38 <ConfusionRift> Gonna guess tablets as well?
06:38 <Colgate> ah, side scrolling platformer
06:38 <Schism> Tablets aren't randomized, no.
06:38 <Schism> Colgate: Metroidvania par excellence. With puzzles which cause your brain to break.
06:39 <Schism> Well. Tablets CAN be randomized, including those 3 you need to learn ancient La-Mulanese. But that's ... self-indulgence.
06:39 * ConfusionRift nods.
06:39 <ConfusionRift> That's what the notes are for.
06:39 <Schism> Yea.
06:40 <Schism> I also kinda know where those are.
06:40 <Schism> CR, you might need to actually sign up for a [fake] Oracle account in order to get Java 11.
06:43 <Schism> The randomizer details I run with: Grail at start, Mirai.exe at start, TextTrax at start. All shops are fully randomized, bathing suit is NOT. Grail points are auto-activated without having the scanner and reader.
06:44 <Schism> And, AND.
06:44 <Schism> There is an option to provide a ladder to the Dimensional Corridor Sacred Orb chest room. CHECK IT.
06:45 <Schism> You know why. :<
06:47 <Schism> So, would you like me to spawn a stream, and then I can give you the key?
06:48 <Schism> Er, spawn a seed*
06:48 <ConfusionRift> Hold on. Getting the thing and the thing to do the thing. :P
06:48 <Schism> With, I hope, the thing.
06:50 <ConfusionRift> Alright. It seems to be... working? Dunno. Just need to set it up.
06:51 <Schism> Yeah, it'll be a kind of barebones Java thing?
06:51 <ConfusionRift> Yap.

06:57 <Schism> Now shuffling the randomizer.
06:58 <Schism> This'll take a while, we're looking for a good seed which fits these objectives.
06:58 <Schism> Okay. The import settings string is '2.22.0-3c487e0f-aa0766-0-0-0-301-1-0-0-0'.
07:00 <ConfusionRift> I guess... applyyyyy?
07:00 <Schism> Yup. And seed is 1011383823 .
07:00 <ConfusionRift> Yessir.
07:01 <Schism|Adagio> So here we go.
07:01 <Schism|Adagio> Lemme know when you're ready.
07:02 <ConfusionRift> Unsure. Don't know if it finished or anything. No confirmation.
07:02 <Schism> Nope, if you hit Apply, you're good.
07:02 <ConfusionRift> Then I guess that's set.
07:02 <Schism> Be aware, don't load any old saves. X3
07:02 <Schism> Load it up, and we'll see what it looks like.
07:03 <ConfusionRift> Gimme a sec. The controller isn't working.
07:03 <Schism> Sure, sure.
07:05 <ConfusionRift> There we go.
07:05 <Schism> Yare, yare, daze.
07:05 <ConfusionRift> Yep! It's working!
07:05 <Schism> Okay! So, to verify the seed, we'll each check what Xelpud gives us, then check the shop on the right.
07:06 <Schism> Xelpud gave me a helmet.
07:06 <ConfusionRift> ...
07:06 <ConfusionRift> Key of eternity.
07:06 <Schism> Crudcakes. OKay.
07:07 * ConfusionRift laughs.
07:07 <Schism> Did you apply _AFTER_ setting the seed at the top?
07:07 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: Leaving)
07:07 <Schism> And the settings: 2.22.0-3c487e0f-aa0766-0-0-0-301-1-0-0-0
07:07 <ConfusionRift> I loaded the settings, and the seed you mentioned was the seed.
07:07 <Schism> Gotta use 'import settings string'. Okay. Let's try again, then.
07:08 <Schism> Let's say... 129345348 is the seed.
07:08 <ConfusionRift> Loadign the randomizer...
07:09 <Schism> Remember to Import Settings String, and then actually generate with that seed.
07:09 <Schism> Oh. Wait. Duh.
07:10 <Schism> Gotta 'Apply Existing Seed'.
07:10 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaah. Do you want me to use the new seed, or the old one.
07:10 <Schism> Let's use the original seed. 1011383823.
07:11 <ConfusionRift> ...it's looking for a file.
07:11 <Schism> ... okay, weird. Alright, then.
07:11 <Schism> There has to be SOME way...
07:12 <Schism> Okay. Import settings from that number. Add the seed to the top. THEN apply.
07:12 <ConfusionRift> That's what I did earlier. ._.
07:13 <ConfusionRift> The old seed was added as part of the settings. So I just had to Apply.
07:13 <Schism> With any fortune, this'll do the trick. If it fails again, we'll have to take... *sunglasses* ... other paths.
07:13 <Schism> Oh. The settings. Once you use '2.22.0-3c487e0f-aa0766-0-0-0-301-1-0-0-0' as the settings...
07:13 <Schism> Then import settings string...
07:14 <Schism> And finally put the seed above in, and hit apply, it should take 20789 iterations to complete.
07:15 * ConfusionRift sighs.
07:15 <Schism> Did you hit 'import settings'?
07:15 <ConfusionRift> Yes.
07:16 <Schism> Wait. What version of the randomizer are you using?
07:16 <ConfusionRift> 2.22.0.
07:16 <Schism> This begins to confuse and annoy.
07:16 <Schism> May I please give you a new seed?
07:17 *** Joins: Reia_Hope (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony)
07:17 <Schism> Oh. Oh wait.
07:17 <ConfusionRift> I suppose. Thing is, it seems to randomize it anyways.

07:17 <ConfusionRift> I believe so.
07:17 <Schism> Then lemme make a brand new one real quick. Then I'll send you a zip.
07:18 <Schism> Once it parses, anyway.

07:20 <Schism> Hmm.
07:20 <Schism> Tiny little thing, but we'll have to probably send it another way. One moment.
07:23 <Schism> Here, ConfusionRift: https://gofile.io/?c=nSgf0Q
07:24 <Schism> You can drop that into your La-Mulana Randomizer folder, it'll appear as the seed: 859663064. Then the requisite item to import is script.rcd.
07:24 <ConfusionRift> Downloaded.
07:25 <Schism> Lessee if this works. :<
07:25 <Schism> ... game.
07:26 <ConfusionRift> Eeerm... failed to import?
07:27 <Schism> Yeah. What the heck?
07:28 <Schism> ...wait.
07:28 <Schism> Once you imported that setting string.
07:28 <Schism> Did the seed change to 1011383823?
07:28 <ConfusionRift> Are you talking about now or earlier?
07:29 <Schism> Right now.
07:29 <Schism> Import the setting string now.
07:29 <Schism> "How now?" "NOW now."
07:29 <ConfusionRift> No! I just tried to import the file.... what?
07:29 <Schism> It's weird. I want to know if, upon changing to the items/shops tab, it then changes the seed.
07:31 <ConfusionRift> When I imported the settings earlier, I changed nothing. And the seed on the top changed to the seed you were referring to. So I then hit Apply. But it seems it changes it anyways.
07:31 <Schism> Okay. It's strange then.
07:32 <Schism> Apply changes the seed to the next upon completion.
07:32 <Schism> Let's give it another try with 1011383823.
07:32 <ConfusionRift> Okay. Let's start from scratch. I'm just 100% lost here.
07:33 <Schism> Alright. One moment. First, apply the settings.
07:33 <Schism> Import settings string, 2.22.0-3c487e0f-aa0766-0-0-0-301-1-0-0-0 .
07:34 <Schism> Then, go back to the Items/Shops tab. Replace the seed number with 397598512 .
07:34 <ConfusionRift> Okay, I imported the string, and the settings changed to the ones you mentioned earlier. The seed on top is now 1011383823.
07:34 <Schism> Right. Do what I just said.
07:35 <Schism> Then we'll both hit Apply.
07:35 <ConfusionRift> Okay, changed the seed to the one you just gave me. Waiting on apply.
07:36 <Schism|Adagio> It's taking its time.
07:36 <Schism|Adagio> 22251 got it. You?
07:37 <ConfusionRift> 22233.
07:37 <Schism|Adagio> swell. We'll see if it works anyway.
07:37 <Schism|Adagio> Now we launch the game.
07:38 <ConfusionRift> Okay, got the three starting pieces.
07:38 <Schism|Adagio> Dimensional Key from Xelpud.
07:38 <ConfusionRift> Oh, same. :P
07:39 <Schism|Adagio> And the rightmost item in the right shop is the Spaulder.
07:39 <ConfusionRift> yessir.
07:39 <Schism|Adagio> Bottom shop has the Helmet.
07:39 <Schism|Adagio> And Map Street.

08:18 <Schism|Adagio> And just murdalized the red skellingtons leading to Amphis, so that leaves the ankh jewel chest to take care of.

08:39 <Schism|Adagio> Excuse you, Sakit? I am hitting you directly in the face with my axe, you cannot simply say 'no'.
08:42 <Schism|Adagio> Use a gun. And if don't work? use more gun.
08:45 <ConfusionRift> The gauntlet. Now we're getting somewhere.

09:26 <Schism|Adagio> Oh, and there's the Key of Eternity and the Gauntlet, which you've already gotten. :P
09:27 <ConfusionRift> Got the gauntlet, but not the key.

09:32 <Schism|Adagio> Without the Twin Statues it's not really a big deal.
09:33 <Schism|Adagio> And without the Hand Scanner there's precious little to do in the teleport maze of hatred and despair.
09:33 <ConfusionRift> Maybe with the gauntlet and axe? You should have more health than I do.
09:35 <Schism|Adagio> Mostly I'd say as a shortcut to the backside of the Moon Temple, but I already have one.

09:45 <Schism> Oh, I have gold now. That coin chest in the Inferno Cavern is 100. Guess I'll buy that item then.
09:45 <Schism> After I get to the grail point here.
09:50 <Schism> Assuming the shop along the way doesn't rob me blind for the Talisman.

09:57 <Schism> Death seal, tho. I forget what that unlocks. o3o
09:57 <ConfusionRift> Oh, there's the book.

09:58 <Schism|Adagio> Yerp.
09:58 <Schism|Adagio> And an Ankh Jewel for another hundred.
09:59 <Schism|Adagio> Ohey! Mirai chest.
10:01 <Schism|Adagio> It contains... well, that's useful.
10:02 * Schism|Adagio burns 40 gold on weights. "I'd better DAMNED WELL find the hand scanner soon."
10:05 <ConfusionRift> Wait... is this THE silver shield, or the fake?
10:05 <Schism|Adagio> Where'd you find it?
10:05 <ConfusionRift> Okay, it's the real stuff... i think.
10:05 * Schism|Adagio looks at the Thunderbird in the Tower of Ruin. "oh, is THAT how this is going to go?"
10:05 <ConfusionRift> Inferno Cavern.
10:05 <Schism|Adagio> Yeah, it should be the real one.
10:06 <ConfusionRift> Where the MAP should be.
10:07 * Schism recharges his Lamp before heading back through the Graveyard to the Tower of Ruin. "Say 'hello' to Uncle Dio."
10:09 <Schism> Yeah, that's what I THOUGHT. Muda, muda, muda.
10:10 * Schism then resets and reloads to recharge again, so that he can murder those fish.
10:14 <Schism> ... no. NO. NO!
10:15 <Schism> You bastard RNG. You bastard!
10:15 * Schism goes elsewhere.
10:16 <ConfusionRift> Found the treasures... wait... but the anchor is... okay then.
10:16 <Schism> Just means you'll probably get the Mini Doll from that jerk.
10:17 <ConfusionRift> Yes, got the spears.
10:17 <Schism> Oh, Pepper leads to a coin chest. Not bad.
10:17 <Schism> We're taking very different paths. :P

15:35 <Cepheid> Huh. Intel has a fast math library for programming. Sounds nice until you read some investigative reports. Turns out it sends non-Intel CPUs through generic, much slower paths, while putting their own CPUs through a super-fast path. If you make the library think your non-Intel CPU is an Intel CPU through spoofing the CPUID, it makes the library use the super-fast path anyway and the performance is indeed much higher than the no
15:55 <Lumindia> wow
16:01 <Cepheid> It gets more interesting with one tidbit.
16:02 <Cepheid> See, the problem applies to all Intel libraries and software, including their compiler. That is, the code generates preferential code for Intel hardware, while falling back to extremely slow code for non-Intel hardware.

16:39 <Cepheid> Which is why I'm using my infinite-revival, infinite-healing, one-hit-ko-attack wonder of a partner to do most of the combat.
16:46 * Cepheid opens a door. Chooses unwisely.
16:51 <Cepheid> "Nothing should stand in the way of us getting to that tower now." "You mean, besides the chainsaw maniac?" "What chai-" *Guy gets mauled*
16:59 * Cepheid attaches a portrait with a circular health bar to ADragonDreaming, gives him a two-handed wood-chopping axe, and the inability to die immediately from any attacks or traps.

17:10 <Cepheid> Game, there is a nice sledgehammer sitting RIGHT HERE. Why can I not take it for use as a melee weapon?
17:11 <Hajnal> What're you playing, Cepheid ?
17:12 <Cepheid> The Evil Within.
17:14 <Cepheid> It's actually a toss-up between Resident Evil 4, and The Evil Within, in regards to which Survival Horror game is the best, to me.
17:15 <Cepheid> To me, TEW is on par with RE4 in terms of gameplay and story. However, TEW has more emphasis on the survival aspect by a longshot.
17:15 <Cepheid> Ammo is scarce, it's not super-effective, and making it effective is a time-consuming process.
17:19 <Cepheid> The strongest thing about TEW though is the psychological aspect. Some of it... 'feels' accurate to me. I don't know how to express my thoughts on it.
17:22 <Cepheid> It does a good job of depicting how one's thoughts are, their perception of the world, when in extreme depressive and psychologically "bad" moods. The world becomes a jumbled, chaotic mess. It feels like everything is falling apart around you. Like things are out to get you. The throbbing headaches it induces..
17:22 <Hajnal> I'd just have to see it for myself to get that experience.
17:25 <Cepheid> One of these days, games that represent mental illnesses through visually and auditorily distressing manners will become more commonplace, and I'll be happy for it, despite the people who say that it makes things look bad, or that games are capitalizing on mental illness.
17:26 <Cepheid> I like this, because while yeah, it's violent and gory as hell, it gives one perspective of what mental illness can be like to a sufferer.
17:40 <Hajnal> That's something I can agree would be interesting to see.
17:40 <Cepheid> Man, when you just brute-force a problem instead of solving it like a riddle or puzzle.
17:41 <Cepheid> Hum, what should I upgrade next..?
17:42 <Cepheid> Handgun damage.
17:42 <Ali> Put 5 points in snuggles
17:42 * Ali snugs into Cepheid and yawns
17:48 <Hajnal> You don't feel like you're removing the satisfaction of solving the puzzle when you do that?
17:48 <Hajnal> Though I guess it doesn't matter if it's poorly made.
17:49 <Ali> Could be worse, could be a BotW skill puzzle
17:50 <Cepheid> Well, the puzzle was less an actual puzzle and more "You're supposed to run and hide."
17:51 <Cepheid> Though, I think it was meant to be solved by running, hiding and gunning.
17:51 <Cepheid> Because I later encountered a document that named the two things I killed, specifically.
17:51 <Cepheid> And also labeled them as brothers.
17:52 <Cepheid> Oh great, another "kill it to progress" enemy. Let's see, how's my equipment?
17:52 <Cepheid> 18 handgun rounds, 4 shotgun rounds..
17:52 <Cepheid> 11 sniper rounds..
17:52 <Ali> Yeesh thats a low count
17:52 <Cepheid> Maximum restorative injectors.
17:53 <Ali> And I do bad with hundreds of rounds in NV
17:53 <Cepheid> 1 grenade. And one of each crossbow bolt.
17:53 <Cepheid> Yeah, this is a continuous problem, ali. I have enough trouble on keyboard-mouse, I can't imagine console players playing this.
17:54 <Cepheid> Ammo is amazingly scarce at the worst of times. And at the best of times, there's so much you can't hold it all, so you have to leave it behind.
17:55 <Hajnal> If I ever get a chance to play the game, I'll get back to you and let you know how console plays.
18:00 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/bNg7gux.jpg So, see that circular meter in the upper-left corner? See that white indicator at the bottom of it?
18:00 <Cepheid> That's how much health I have leftg.
18:00 <Ali> And you mean standing still doesn't just auto fill it back up like all modern games
18:01 <Cepheid> Up to the red line in the lower-right of the portrait.
18:02 <Cepheid> Worst part is, that's after I "killed" the boss. And I have to go back into the arena to grab stuff.

18:06 <ADragonDreaming> when you meet safe man
18:06 <Cepheid> New area... loot it all for restoratives and ammo.
18:06 <ADragonDreaming> farm him
18:06 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm familiar with him.
18:07 * Cepheid kicks the mutated dog. Using his best rendition of Eustace's voice from Courage the Cowardly Dog. "Stupid dog!"
18:10 <Cepheid> Ah. Hey, speaking of Safe Man, guess who I am encountering next?
18:10 <Cepheid> Actually, how am I supposed to farm him again?
18:17 <Cepheid> Yup, thar he is. First encounter with him. For the time being though he won't attack me. Thank the gods.
18:19 <Cepheid> Ah, the lockers are randomized..
18:20 <Cepheid> Three times in a row I got 5000 goo.
18:20 <Ali> did you put it back?
18:20 <Ali> I don't think I want goo
18:21 <Cepheid> The goo is useful.
18:21 <Cepheid> And unfortunately, the locker keys are Zelda Keys.
18:21 <Cepheid> They break on use.
18:22 <Cepheid> I could, in theory maximize my returns by reloading until I get what I want, though.
18:39 <Cepheid> "Looks like a trap." Yeah, no ****, Sherlock. What tipped you off? The dangling corpse next to the switch? The spiked ceiling?
18:40 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: there's a point where you face off against Safe Man for realz
18:40 <Cepheid> Hey ADragonDreaming, I understand you watched an LP of the second game. Does Mr. Safe Head pop up there?
18:40 <ADragonDreaming> I don't think he does.
18:40 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know. I finished the first game already. I know there's a few points where you face off against him for real.
18:40 <Cepheid> I just don't remember how farming him works without wasting ammo and such.
18:41 <Cepheid> As I understand it, each time you kill him, another safe nearby starts rattling and he pops into existence again.
18:41 <ADragonDreaming> The farming I saw used the harpoon bolts
18:41 <ADragonDreaming> properly upgraded it's a two-shot kill.
18:41 <ADragonDreaming> each time you kill him he drops a bunch of goo.
18:42 <ADragonDreaming> if you disarm the traps you have plenty of parts, so...
18:42 <Cepheid> Amazingly, I lack a lot of parts.
18:42 <Cepheid> I spent them all at the church area.
18:42 <Cepheid> Where you have to protect Joseph while he disarms two bomb doors.
18:48 <Cepheid> Although I seem to be collecting up a good stack of parts now..
18:48 <Cepheid> Thanks game, for scaring me with the safe there.

19:14 * Cepheid breathes, in, out, calm thyself. You can do this.
19:17 <Cepheid> Yeah, I have no restoratives on hand, a little over half health, 3 rounds of handgun ammo, 13 shotgun shells, 8 sniper rifle rounds, 2 grenades, 4 harpoon shots, and 19 scavenged parts for more harpoon shots. Up to 9 more.
19:17 <Cepheid> This is gonna be the Dwarf Fortress definition of "Fun"
19:20 *** Quits: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
19:21 <Ali> By rounds is it clips?
19:21 <Cepheid> No, individual shots.
19:22 <Cepheid> Also, I got my harpoon up enough I can two-shot the bugger, so that's something at least.
19:22 <Cepheid> Which means at 4 harpoons + 9 more I can craft, that's 15 harpoons, divide by 2... I can kill 7 of them before I have to escape.
19:28 <Cepheid> Dangit.
19:29 <Cepheid> I was so close, too.
19:31 <Cepheid> Note to self: Shooting him doesn't do anything if he isn't following me.
19:38 <Cepheid> Finally.
19:39 * DashedTheFilly flops on Ali
19:39 * Ali brushies the DashedTheFilly
19:43 * Cepheid licks the ammo he finds, akin to Mr. Burns in that one halloween episode, where he's a vampire and licking blood. "Mmm... Precious ammo.."
19:48 * DashedTheFilly curls up on Ali and sighs
20:01 <Cepheid> Thank you Microsoft and your Stickykeys shortcut. Almost got me killed.
20:02 <Ali> Would you like to turn on sticky keys?

22:47 * Schism attempts to run through a giant haunted house, but the red mist catches up to him because he keeps getting turned around.
23:05 * DashedTheFilly rolls a little
23:10 <Schism> Cepheid: I still hate that freakin' maze in SH3.
23:14 <Cepheid> Yeah, that maze wasn't really implemented all that well, with the constant view changes.
23:14 <Cepheid> This here, the problem is somewhat different.
23:15 <Cepheid> At various points, you're gated by a wall of fire that you have to shut down. In order to do this, you have to pull a switch, and then play a game of cat and mouse with the OHKO wonder-*****, Laura, until the fire shuts off completely.
23:15 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, she can teleport, and any corpses laying on the ground are a way for her to get around really quickly, and your only means of stopping her works once, and only once.
23:18 * DashedTheFilly climbs onto PinkieShy
23:18 <Cepheid> Whee, another boss.
23:18 * PinkieShy hands DashedTheFilly 5 slices of bacon
23:19 * PinkieShy adds in a plate of eggs, grits, toast, biscuits and a large cola
23:19 <DashedTheFilly> Eww cola
23:20 <DashedTheFilly> Normally I love bacon but sigh
23:23 <Schism> Poutine...~
23:23 <DashedTheFilly> What's that
23:24 <Schism> French fries with cheese curds and gravy.
23:25 <DashedTheFilly> Ah, good I guess. Never had it.
23:25 <Schism> It is indeed a fine dish. I suggest you try it sometime. o3o
23:25 <Cepheid> That's like, the third time he's just outright killed me via OHKO.
23:26 <DashedTheFilly> I'll try it once I can
23:27 <Cepheid> Geezus chripes.
23:30 <Cepheid> Oh for crissakes.
23:33 <Cepheid> Geezus cripes. So much as touches you in that state, it's game over.
23:34 <Schism> Gods alive. Well, you can't say the game's not hard, at least.
23:38 <Cepheid> Well, I know how to kill it now. It's just managing to get the requisite shots in.
23:38 <Cepheid> With, ye know, not getting OHKOed.
23:39 * Cepheid sighs.
23:42 <Cepheid> Finally.
23:44 * Cepheid loots the boss room of everything he couldn't use because the danged thing is just all over the place.
23:56 <DashedTheFilly> I might need to move but it's all the same
23:57 *** Quits: danwellby (danwellby@The.lone.griffon) (Connection closed)
