00:41 <Schism> Hi there, Radio Demon.
00:42 <Schism> Cepheid: Do you know where that COMES from, tho?
00:46 <Cepheid> Yes. Hazbin Hotel. Haven't seen it yet.
00:47 <Schism> Oh, it's a delight.

01:09 <Schism> I... shan't be linking it here now, because there is SO MUCH PROFANITY, but it's such a thing of love and wonder about people failing.
01:10 <Cepheid> I'm watching the pilot right now.
01:12 <Cepheid> That... Newscaster... All the cracking.
01:12 <Schism> Yup.
01:12 <Schism> How far are ya?
01:14 <Cepheid> Princess on the news.
01:14 <Schism> Yup. o3o
01:14 <Cepheid> This is gonna end up in song isn't it?
01:15 <Schism> Look, her lover just told her, don't. start. singing.
01:16 <Schism> Of course it will.
01:16 <Cepheid> She should know better by now that it won't work.
01:18 <Schism> Well, it is Hell.
01:18 <Cepheid> The animation style is certainly unique. Can't say I've seen anything like it before. Reminds me slightly of Invader Zim.
01:20 <Schism> It is reminiscent of CN and Nickelodeon back in the day.
01:21 <Cepheid> ... Yeah i am gonna have title look up the lyrics to that song. I missed nearly 70% of it due to the speed and high pitch voice.
01:21 <Schism> Same.
01:21 <Schism> Pretty sure Vivziepop released it as its own video, tho.
01:26 <Schism> This is so completely cracked up that I can't help but love it.

01:33 <Reiko> Because it is useless with nobody
01:34 <Schism> He turned one of those pictures into one with him.
01:35 <Reiko> And the answer was no
01:36 <Schism> "Ha, no."
01:36 <Reiko> Jinx
01:41 <Cepheid> ... That is not a demon. That, is an eldritch horror.
01:41 <Schism> Cepheid: Yuuuuuup.
01:42 <Cepheid> A nightmare from beyond all the realms of existence, that became bored and flopped into Hell just because.
01:42 <Schism> I like him, though. He's got panache. A certain je ne sais quoi, literally.
01:42 <Reiko> And now you're banned for good?
01:43 <Schism> What? No. This isn't an MLP spoiler.
01:43 <Reiko> No, not anymore

01:44 <Reiko> Season 9 is over and now...you're die
01:45 * Ali squeaks at PrincessRainbows
01:46 <Cepheid> I would be utterly shocked if no major networks funded or picked up that show.
01:46 * PrincessRainbows brushies Ali
01:47 <Schism> It seems like a perfect thing for CN to pick up.
01:47 <Schism> Honestly, that was simply fantastic.
01:48 <Schism> Vivziepop managed to hit -all- the buttons. All of them!
01:49 *** Quits: Bubbles (EvaSh@Pony-1t0s0g.cable.virginm.net) (Connection closed)
01:49 <Cepheid> Yeah, CN would be a likely backer. That said, I wonder if it would survive on TV. Lot of cursing and swearing. More than your average TV show by far, and some movies. Of which there is some pretty strict regulation over.
01:49 <Schism> Time/Warner has to pick that up. Or Amazon. Amazon can greenlight the damn thing.
01:49 *** Parts: Reiko (sid98619@Pony-3j929p.highgate.irccloud.com) ("")
01:49 <Schism> Cursing, swearing, and SO MANY sexual references. It's not going to get greenlit on network TV.
01:50 <Ali> You'd be surprised what can pass on network tv now
01:50 <Schism> But Amazon, Netflix or the like, they'd snap it up.
01:50 <Schism> Ali: You might like it. The main character is like a much more demonic Twilight Sparkle.
01:50 <Schism> Everyone else on the cast is... horrible.
01:51 <Schism> Cepheid, what is Charlie's girlfriend? I know she's a Norse demon.
01:51 <Schism> Got the missing eye, the dark side of the valkyries.
01:51 <Cepheid> Not sure. Truth told I didn't recognize them as any sort of pantheon entities.
01:52 <Cepheid> Also, totally honest here, but other than the Radio Demon and Angel Dust, I didn't catch anyone's names.
01:53 <Schism> It's easy to miss. I didn't get them either. Gods curse it, though, I know that she's one of Hel's servants.
01:53 <Cepheid> Nature of my hearing. Lack of subtitles and all that.
01:54 <Schism> You have to admit, though, that was some very good stuff.
01:55 <Cepheid> ... The missing eye wants me to think she is based on... Hmm.
01:55 <Schism> You're missing out, though, Cepheid. When she crinkles her existing eye down, on glaring at the Radio Demon, it uses the sound of a ratchet winding.
01:58 <Schism> So, Cepheid, was it the sudden video artifacting that gave you that 'wait, oh crap' sense?
01:58 <Cepheid> The video artifacting, the voice, and the tilted head with creepy eyes.
01:58 <Schism> And then the fact that everything just... went. back t.o nor.mal.
01:59 <Schism> Yuuuuuup. o3o That was very well done.
02:03 <Schism> Anyway, that's awesome. It is the point of art to make an impression upon people, and let me be quite clear, the radio demon has made an impression upon yourself!
02:05 <Schism> Ahahahahaa, quite an impression.
02:05 <Cepheid> Hum... Vaggie apparently speaks Spanish when she is holding that spear to Alastor.
02:05 <Schism> Mayhaps. o3o
02:06 <Cepheid> Google translate is only partially helpful though.
02:06 <Schism> I'd thought it was a European language, which it is, but it might be ... hm.
02:06 <Schism> We might have to ask Finwe here.
02:07 <Schism> It doesn't sound Germanic.
02:07 <Schism> And while it sounds Romantic, it might be a language associated there.
02:08 <Cepheid> Librarian coukdf confirm if it was Spanish, too.
02:08 <Schism> That's still a Romantic language.
02:10 <Cepheid> Apparently, she was insulting him.

02:26 <Hajnal> Probably a moth.
02:27 <Schism> She's hugging her legs, an illustration of how really, really frightened by the situation she is.
02:27 <ADragonDreaming> oh, I was looking for a pic of the spear.

03:11 <Schism> Cloak of Many Birds. It's comprised of feathers of birds, and each feather, when plucked out, gives you a brief buff or effect.
03:11 <ADragonDreaming> what game?
03:11 <Schism> D20 ideally, I just came up with it.
03:12 <ADragonDreaming> aha
03:12 <ADragonDreaming> nice
03:12 <Schism> Think it's a useful idea? o3o
03:12 <ADragonDreaming> yep! Needs some detailing of the possibilities
03:13 <ADragonDreaming> also, is it random, or can you pick the effect?
03:13 <Schism> Hmm. I think you can pick the effect, but lesser variants have fewer birds. A higher end one might have a Roc feather, which gives you a +2 strength bonus for a day.
03:14 <Schism> But that might be the only feather in your cap, or one of the few very useful ones. I'd also limit it to a pull once a day.
03:15 <Schism> Could have a Peregrine Falcon feather, gives you +1 on your initiative roll.
03:16 <Schism> It'd have to have a basic effect, though, something to keep you from yanking all the feathers out ASAP.
03:17 * PrincessRainbows sits on Ali and sads slightly
03:17 * Ali brushies the sads out of PrincessRainbows
03:17 <Schism> If there's at least a single feather in the cloak, maybe have it reduce fall damage by 1.
03:18 <Schism> With a 25% chance that it'll fall out, because we're evil monsters.
03:20 <PrincessRainbows> If I'm still like this by the weekend I'll go, or if it gets bad
03:21 <PrincessRainbows> Today is more apathetic and dysphoric

03:26 <Cepheid> Oh gods the snow is finally here. That means mysteriously bright nights due to light reflecting off of clouds and the snow.
03:26 <Vulpor> So did anyone get that Death Stranding?
03:26 * Ali has about an inch and a half of snow on the ground.
03:27 <PrincessRainbows> Actually not dysphoria but anhedonia
03:27 <Schism> Cepheid: We're not going to sleep anytime soon, are we?
03:27 <Vulpor> I am looking at gameplay and it looks like you gotta do a ton of stuff just to walk
03:27 <Cepheid> Nope. All the new lightbulbs and posts put up have made the outdoors.... Bright.

03:30 <Cepheid> That's at night, with no flash, using a camera that is garbage.
03:30 <Schism> I'm not sure why this is thaaaat's really bright.
03:30 <Schism> Okay, albedo.
03:32 <ADragonDreaming> rubedo.
03:32 <Schism> Light reflecting off white stuff.
03:32 <ADragonDreaming> on the other hand
03:33 <Schism> Adra, I just rewatched Hazbin. And the point with the Radio Demon... wellllllll.
03:33 <ADragonDreaming> that same effect kept things light enough for me to deal with the snow
03:33 <Schism> Well, that's at least beneficial enough.
03:33 <Cepheid> For me, it is a major problem.
03:34 <Cepheid> It is one of the reasons I have blackout curtains.
03:34 <ADragonDreaming> prevents sleep?
03:34 <Schism> Helps sleep.
03:34 <Cepheid> So much so it can even overpower my sedatives.
03:35 <Schism> But yes. o3o;;;
03:35 <ADragonDreaming> Schism: I was talking about the bright nights
03:35 <ADragonDreaming> as opposed to the curtains
03:35 <Schism> OH yeah, then yeah.
03:35 <Hajnal> Blackout curtains are one of the best things I've ever bought. They helped so much when I needed them most.
03:35 <Schism> I... sorry. :<
03:36 <Cepheid> The only remaining light problem outside of that is all the ******* LED lights in products telling me that they are functioning or are powered off or in standby. Lit when in either of these states. I am not kidding.
03:36 <Schism> By the way, Hajnal: Charlie was behind the Radio Demon before he started talking. Then she was in front of him.
03:37 <Cepheid> Oh and the living room lamp. Parents insist on keeping it on for some reason.
03:38 <Hajnal> Hmm
03:38 <Cepheid> Living room lamp affects me because I absolutely, positively must keep my bedroom door open. Cats. I'm the only one that lets them sleep with me.
03:38 <Cepheid> Debating a blackout curtain for the doorway.
03:39 <Hajnal> You're absolutely right.

04:07 <Cepheid> Sure. Specify a seed, and I'll see what time I can pull off.
04:07 <Schism> Hey Dranae, you should do a seed with me as well.
04:07 * Dranae blink blink.
04:07 <Dranae> What.
04:07 * Filly_Nightmares climbs onto Dranae
04:07 <Schism> Darnit. Josuke, you have betrayed me.
04:08 <Dranae> Schism, I legit forgot where I was a moment and thought you were saying something ugh
04:08 <Dranae> Uh*
04:08 <Dranae> Well, let's just say it wouldn't be appropriate for the channel and leave it
04:08 <Dranae> What do you mean? Seed for what?
04:08 * PrincessRainbows nuzzles in Dranae's wing. 'tis cold
04:08 <Schism> It's okay, I'm trying to get folks to do La-Mulana randomizer.
04:08 * Dranae wraps wing around.
04:08 * Filly_Nightmares sneezies at Dranae and clutchies face
04:08 * Dranae wraps his other wing around!
04:09 * Filly_Nightmares sneezies again!
04:09 <Dranae> In that case, may I suggest a never-fail fun seed?
04:09 <Dranae> This one's been my favorite since Ye Olde Times
04:09 <Schism> No, no.
04:09 <Schism> We need a good new one.
04:10 <Dranae> 'AXEARMOR'. The rest of this message brought to you by the capslock modbot.
04:10 <Schism> I instead suggest the following. Here are the rules...
04:10 <Dranae> Is La Mulana on PS4?
04:11 <Schism> Holy Grail given at start. Mirai and TextTrax given at start. Whip and All Items shop randomization.
04:11 <Schism> Coin chests and trap enabled, nothing else.
04:11 <Schism> Location is clear, boss logic is easier.
04:11 * PrincessRainbows hugs the warm birb
04:12 <Schism> Actually... one tick.
04:12 <Schism> Setting seed.

04:13 <Schism> Setting string is 2.22.0-4d15f14b-aa0766-0-0-0-301-1-0-0-0 - seed is 1293283659.
04:14 <Dranae> I don't own La Mulana and can't play it unless it's on PS4, because my laptop is getting worse
04:14 <Schism> Then we... can't really play.
04:15 <Schism> Okay, checked, and Xelpud gave an Ankh Jewel. You, Cepheid?
04:16 <Cepheid> I am not playing now Schism. Got my usual drugs in me.
04:17 <Schism> Then I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow.
04:17 <Schism> Or whenever.
04:17 <Cepheid> Schism, we can use the ingame clock to compare times.
04:18 <Schism> That's true. It feels better to actually compete in real time, though.
04:21 <Cepheid> True. In any case I have some work to do in the morning. Group project and all. After that, sure.
04:21 <Schism> Alright. I do have tomorrow off for a change.
04:22 <Schism> Though I might have to skive off for a new pair of shoes. My current pair are... falling apart.
04:27 * Dranae apologizes to Schism. Is poor and on a terrible laptop
04:27 <Dranae> I actually quit my job just a day or two ago
04:29 <Cepheid> And I dropped out of university to save my precious brain meats and cells.

04:36 <Dranae> :3
04:36 * Dranae is warm catbirb.
04:38 * PrincessRainbows flap flaps her, relatively, small wings

04:59 * PrincessRainbows gets off then
05:01 * Dranae picks the little up and puts them right back on. After all, he doesn't mind.
05:03 * PrincessRainbows is a full grown alicorn mare... not that little
05:07 * Dranae peers. Why're they climbing on him, then?
05:07 <PrincessRainbows> I thought Dranae was big tho
05:08 <Dranae> I am as big to Gilda as Gilda is to Fluttershy
05:09 <PrincessRainbows> hmm, so not very
05:09 <Dranae> Um.
05:09 <Dranae> I'm like juuuust a bit smaller than Princesses Celestia and Luna.
05:10 <PrincessRainbows> ah ok
05:13 * PrincessRainbows is about the size of S1 Luna

06:03 <Schism> Tirek, you wanna play a doomed space crew?
06:04 <Schism> Twitter hash tags, microblogging about things one player at a time.
06:05 <Tirek> Sounds interesting.
06:06 <Tirek> Though forewarning, I don't play serious characters.
06:06 <Schism> Here's the fun: we don't know what caused its death. We can only speculate until things go for the worst.
06:06 <Schism> Though you needn't play a serious character. You can piss about and be the Wesley Crusher or something.
06:07 <Schism> Or the funny little character who gets on everyone's nerves.
06:07 <Schism> Hashtag is #tr9238181.
06:07 <Tirek> Hmm.
06:08 <Tirek> I'll think about it.
06:08 <Schism> It's just a silly idea. The crew of a doomed ship keeping themselves going as long as they can is a long-running RP idea.
06:09 <Tirek> Right.
06:09 <Schism> That they don't know they're doomed is a bit different.
06:10 <Ali> #TL;DR
06:10 <Tirek> Hmm.
06:10 <Tirek> Can I be the snarky AI.
06:11 <Schism> You can be -a- Snarky AI.
06:11 <Tirek> Even better.
06:12 <Tirek> The more the merrier.
06:12 <Schism> It's possible that there might be multiple. Devices tied to certain cast members.
06:12 <Schism> And of course, how it died, and /why/ it died, is the big question.
06:13 <Tirek> Like I said, I'll think about it.
06:13 <Schism> It's not gonna be the Obra Dinn, but the lives of the cast members are the central concern.
06:13 * Schism nodnods.
06:13 <Tirek> I'll ask for a dump of info I ought to know if I've decided to participate.
06:13 <Schism> See, here's the thing.
06:14 <Schism> No info. No data. We don't know what the universe is like. We're receiving a little scrap of data from somewhere, somewhen, somehow. It's a bunch of twitter feeds.
06:15 <Schism> Each player can push forth a scrap of data about the universe if they prefer, but we don't know that until they do.
06:15 <Tirek> Ah, okay.
06:17 <Schism> It's a weird kind of shared collaboration.
06:17 <Schism> And I don't know if it'll take off at all.

06:33 <Tirek> Unrelated, I've come to really -really- like french vanilla black tea.
06:33 <Tirek> I have been fermenting it with my water kefir for a while, and have been making two liters daily.
06:35 <Schism> That's a pretty good blend, aye. I'd add a few more spices, make it a masala vanilla chai.
06:35 <Tirek> Tell me more.
06:35 <Tirek> I'm also not sure if I could add additional spice to it, I don't have a really fine strainer.
06:36 <Schism> Oh, if you're talking about loose-leaf... you *could* pull a couple of tricks off, but I don't have a source for actual clove berries.
06:37 <Tirek> Oh, no, its not loose leaf.
06:37 <Tirek> I just thought you were suggesting I add additional flavor to what I already have.
06:38 <Schism> Oh, yeah. But you'd definitely want some clove berries anyway, instead of ground powder.
06:38 <Schism> I was suggesting that.
06:38 <Tirek> Fair.
06:39 <Tirek> And hmm.
06:39 <Schism> Oh, Tirek. I forget: have you seen Hazbin Hotel yet?
06:40 <Tirek> No, I haven't. It never really looked like my cup of tea.
06:40 <Tirek> I wasn't a fan of the animator's work before.
06:40 * PrincessRainbows passes out a bit
06:41 <Schism> You may be pleasantly surprised. It's... got a certain je ne sais qoui. It has a lot of other interesting animators' styles, for one.
06:41 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-8q0glj.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)
06:41 <Tirek> I'll consider taking a look.
06:47 <Schism> Eh, it's unique. Meanwhile, I'm kind of about to start driving a keyboard rest into my head, so who am I to make complaints?
06:49 <Schism> I know it's not a huge benefit, but there's a very big influence from the early '90s Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, the deranged animation styles which drew greatly from the early golden age of animation.
06:50 <Schism> The idea being enormous changes of character model and fluid animation which looked like liquids, instead of being based around a rigid body.
06:54 <Schism> That's not entirely correct, but the movement the characters take is very fluid.
06:56 <Schism> No, I swear... no, I was wrong. I just read them incorrectly. Sorry. Eyes being eyes.

07:03 <Schism> Hi, ConfusionRift. o3o;
07:04 * ConfusionRift wavies at both.
07:04 <PinkieShy> You guys know.. I was telling a church member about my back pain..
07:04 <PinkieShy> Knowing i have bad back pain now at age 25.. by the time i turn 40 or 50 that pain might be worsened to unimaginable pain when i get old.
07:06 <PinkieShy> Hopefully by then stuff will have improved in the medicine fields where that pain can go away forever without surgery and such.
07:07 <Schism> ConfusionRift, Hazbin Hotel remains ... remarkable.
07:08 <ConfusionRift> I keep forgetting to check it out.
07:08 <Tirek> I'm watching it now.
07:09 <Tirek> Ugh, I'm addicted to that tea.
07:09 * PinkieShy sits on Schism
07:09 <Schism> It's seriously 1990s Cartoon Network.
07:10 <Tirek> If 90s cartoon network murdered the censors and strung them up outside Time Square as a warning, looks like.
07:10 <Schism> Okay, okay. Panty & Stocking w/ Garterbelt.
07:11 <Schism> Tho... the censors were kinda choked to death in that era anyway.
07:11 * ConfusionRift coughs.
07:11 * Schism ahems, too.
07:11 <PinkieShy> I miss the OG Cartoon network :(
07:13 <ConfusionRift> Yeah... yeah... (sniffles a bit0
07:14 <Schism> This is honestly preeeeeetty close to the OG Cartoon Network.
07:14 <Schism> Like really.
07:14 <ConfusionRift> I... kinda recognize some of these...
07:16 <Schism> Vivziepop's characters? o3o
07:18 <ConfusionRift> Yep, I just never found the artist.
07:18 <Schism> Glad you know her now. o3o;
07:18 <PinkieShy> neat.
07:20 * ConfusionRift also recognized some of the voices.
07:22 <Schism> How far 're ya?
07:22 <ConfusionRift> I give it this. Not a lot of fluid animations out there.
07:23 <Schism> I find it .. surprisingly fluid in parts.
07:33 <Tirek> Alrighty
07:33 <Tirek> Finished the whole thing.
07:33 <Tirek> My opinion is unchanged, not my cup of tea.
07:33 <Tirek> But I can appreciate the craftsmanship that went into it.
07:34 <ConfusionRift> ^ I agree on that part.
07:35 <Tirek> Ah, heck it. I'm going to end the second ferment early and pour a glass right now.
07:39 <Schism> That's fair enough.
07:40 <Schism> Right now, I'm kind of... ugh. Tired.
07:42 * ConfusionRift just finished up.
07:42 *** Changeling_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares
07:44 <ConfusionRift> Can't say I can give it the same fluidity and consistency as the 90's toons. But I do agree and the animation and sound quality is really good, they do deserve kudos for that.
07:45 *** Joins: Changeling_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)
07:45 <ConfusionRift> As mentioned before, it's not very common for animation to reach this point these days. Most are very stock or lack some flair. So, not saying it's bad, because for what it is, it's really good.
07:45 <Schism> Oh, sound quality especially.
07:46 <Schism> It's also not part of a hugantic corporational faffair, so it has that up on it. Ultimately, I can see it being really, really well received on Netflix or Amazon.
07:47 <Schism> Working on its own, I'd really LIKE it to work.
07:47 *** Joins: Floof (Surreal@Pony-rue.6fv.3.192.IP)
07:48 <Schism> It has a flair. It has a remarkable idea. I want it to be viable. I don't think it is.
07:48 <ConfusionRift> Now here's the thing. It gives that childhood vibe, but it's more of an adult animation. It's very... very... as you mentioned earlier, Panty & Stocking. In other words, borderlining.

07:49 <Schism> IF they can sell it. IF they can push it hard enough, they'll get it going.
07:49 <ConfusionRift> Okay, as a package, it's really good. But I'll understand if there's a divide with people who like it and who don't.
07:50 <Schism> I hope they manage to find the right producer.
07:50 <ConfusionRift> ESPECIALLY in the context of some of the characters.
07:50 <Schism> Netflix and Amazon both have some pretty good indications that they'd pick it up.

08:01 <ConfusionRift> Gotta give them that. Alastor, AKA the Radio Demon catches my interest as a character.
08:01 <Schism> Reality warpers are pretty eye-catching.
08:03 <Schism> ConfusionRift: If you have an interest in this game...
08:03 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm?
08:04 <Schism> Simple enough idea. You need merely put up a character with that hashtag.
08:04 <Schism> You're a character on a spaceship which is already doomed, playing out its final days.
08:05 <ConfusionRift> Oh, I'm sorry, it's just that you kinda didn't quite explain what was going on.
08:05 <Schism> Kinda the point. :P
08:06 <Schism> Exactly why it's doomed, we don't know. We don't know what kind of spaceship it is. We don't know that kind of CREW it is.
08:06 <Schism> That might even be an alien chicken.
08:06 <ConfusionRift> Do you want me to... join in?
08:07 <Schism> Sorta! We're recruiting. You could come up with a little 280-character post which defines the ship, or the crew, or something.
08:08 <Tirek> I'm going to vanish into the aether and snooze now. Later.
08:08 <Schism> Bearing in mind that the whole thing is doomed.
08:08 <Schism> Take care, Tirek. Rest well.
08:08 <ConfusionRift> Alrighty, have a good one.
08:08 <Schism> If you're not entirely interested, Rifty, that's fine too. It's kinda just a weird little textual experiment.
08:09 <Schism> And who knows, it might go nowhere.
08:09 * Ali nibbles on Schism

08:10 <Schism> All you need to do to join in is do a tweet to #tr9238181.
08:10 <Ali> What is this tweet thing?
08:10 * Ali aka doesn't do twitter
08:10 <Schism> Ali won't be joining the game, then. X3
08:10 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, on Twitter.

08:13 <Schism> And at least try and stay at least somewhat in character when using the hashtag.
08:14 <ConfusionRift> Should it be the case of us noting things about the unknown ship, or the case of a dead crew?
08:14 <Schism> No, the crew is still alive when we make these notes.
08:15 <Schism> We're basically tweeting little bits of microaggressions and notes about a living ship, like bits of our lives.
08:16 <Schism> And yes, this is really screwed up. X3
08:16 <ConfusionRift> I was more asking if it's the case of things that happened on the ship, or is the ship still active with a live crew, but we're stuck.
08:17 <Schism> That hasn't become clear yet.

08:17 <Schism> The ship may be stuck. Or it might be floating through space now. Or something else.
08:17 <Schism> You haven't decided yet. And since you haven't decided yet, it's all of those.
08:18 <ConfusionRift> Vagueness, my weakness! :P
08:18 <Schism> Or you could just avoid deciding yet. It could just be a micropost about the joys of floating in space.
08:18 <ConfusionRift> Okay okay, gimme a sec to think.
08:18 <Schism> No, you don't have to decide!
08:18 <Schism> See, it could still just be floating in space and you could just decide to be ... having fun.
08:19 <Schism> Filly_Nightmares, you could join us!
08:20 * Filly_Nightmares curls up on Schism
08:20 * Filly_Nightmares is tired floofy!
08:20 <Schism> Filly_Nightmares, it's easy. Just we're all floating in a spaceship. You can start a microblog with Twitter. Just hashtag #tr9238181.
08:20 <Schism> That's all. We're all kinda jerkfaces. o3o
08:21 * Filly_Nightmares confuse floof
08:22 * Filly_Nightmares is sleepies soon!
08:23 <Schism> Filly_Nightmares, you create a character, like like like this Calvin R. person who's probably not really named that, who hates the synthfood and wants to probably get out there and do something!
08:23 <Schism> And then he does, but it all goes wrong. o3o

08:25 <Schism> And we know it goes wrong, but just HOW... that is the question.
08:26 <Schism> And, Filly_Nightmares, you need to give yourself a character!

08:34 <Schism> I think this'll be interesting anyway. I might get some other folks in on the show.
08:34 <Schism> If it's okay with you folks.
08:34 <Schism> Filly_Nightmares, do you want to still play the game? o3o
08:35 * Filly_Nightmares doesn't think she'll remember about game!

08:53 <Schism> No kidding...
08:54 <ConfusionRift> Then again, I'm sure, and I hope, it doesn't get to that point of mass purging low activity accounts. That could easily kill the platform.

09:00 <Schism> I will say that you should sign up for this forum.
09:00 <ConfusionRift> I have a thing for forums. Sorry.

09:04 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh... whoops.
09:04 <Schism> You've created a rule.
09:05 <ConfusionRift> Eerm... huh?
09:05 <ConfusionRift> Well, I was more thinking on interconnectivity, in some way.
09:05 <Schism> Yup, and you managed it, too.
09:06 <Schism> That's okay, you just managed to pull two spaces together, creating a story link.
09:06 <ConfusionRift> Like, some events or logs connecting to situations or other logs.
09:06 <Schism> And that's your one link for the day.
09:06 <ConfusionRift> Well, I'm also a person inside [ship name here]. :P
09:07 <Schism> I hope this will actually take off. Else it'll just be the two of us writing a story. :P
09:07 <ConfusionRift> Yeah...
09:07 <Dranae> What're the reqs for La Mulana
09:07 <ConfusionRift> Like, PC requirements?
09:07 <Schism> Windows 7, nothing more.
09:07 <Schism> Or a Switch.
09:08 <Dranae> ... I'm pretty sure a Switch is more powerful than my laptop TBH
09:08 <ConfusionRift> Not yet, for that one... or is it out already...
09:08 <ConfusionRift> Gimme a sec.
09:09 <ConfusionRift> March 10, 2020.
09:09 <ConfusionRift> And it will be both games as one package.
09:10 <Schism> Doesn't matter too much.
09:11 <ConfusionRift> I might pre-order it. It's going to be on PS4, XBOX, and Switch. It has both games, and the special edition has some extra goodies.
09:12 <ConfusionRift> if you want to, there's the PC version, which can run on a microwave. :P
09:13 <Schism> I, um. ... I'd dearly like to see that microwave.
09:14 <ConfusionRift> Dranae: Minimum: WinXP, Pentium 4 (2.0GHz), 1GB of RAM, 128MB VRAM, 500MB of HD space, and any card DX9 compatible.
09:14 <Dranae> Yep.
09:14 <Dranae> I cannot run it
09:14 <ConfusionRift> Oooh, that bad, huh.

09:15 <ConfusionRift> ...browser game... sheesh.
09:15 <Schism> Sheeeeesh. One tick. I'm going to have to... yeesh.

09:29 <Schism> Well, take care.
09:29 <Schism> I think another player might, MAY be joining.
09:32 <ConfusionRift> Oh.
09:32 <Schism> Couple more, in fact.
09:33 <ConfusionRift> A couple? | "Yeah, a couple... dozen..." | (screeches)
09:33 <Schism> 'Someone must be able to bang their head against the walls.'
09:34 <ConfusionRift> Oh no, what have I done.
09:34 <Schism> Defined the ship at least as much as you could.
09:36 <ConfusionRift> Was gonna do a more defined thing, but it wouldn't be fun if I did. Best leave it as a blob for now. :P
09:36 <Schism> I don't know if that'll actually hold up. :P
09:37 <Schism> This situation... there's a lot of... um.
09:37 <ConfusionRift> Should I... define it more?
09:37 <Schism> No, that's fine.
09:55 <Schism> Last statement made for the day.
09:59 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe. Just read it. :P
10:00 <Schism> Here we get it going. :3
10:00 <Schism> It's gonna be fun, but we need to have some other players.

10:05 <Schism> No, the same applies to me.
10:06 <ConfusionRift> I just wanted to add an extra. The least defining, of course.
10:06 <ConfusionRift> But no, gonna wait till later.
10:07 <Schism> It's fine. I'm afraid that your order is a limited edition item, and therefore cannot be replaced. Please don't hesitate to get back in touch with us in the future.
10:07 * Schism bows, and falls into the spring water.
10:08 <ConfusionRift> You forgot your scalesphere!
10:08 <Schism> I did...!
10:09 <Schism> I can reproduce a seed, if you want.
10:09 <ConfusionRift> Noooo no no. It's fine, I'm fine, it's all good. (twitches slightly)
10:10 <Schism> It's... no, let
10:10 <Schism> Let's not.
10:11 <ConfusionRift> To be honest, I have to give that a break. I actually feel that burn out, and I have new games on my queue list.
10:11 <Schism> Probably best.
10:11 <ConfusionRift> I do plan on getting the sequel. Now, I'm not sure I should get the game soon, or just wait for the console port.
10:12 <Schism> Wait. Wait for the console port.
10:12 * ConfusionRift hopes they port the PC version and not the Wii one.
10:12 <Schism> Honestly, the whole nonsense is still worth waiting.
10:12 * ConfusionRift nods.
10:13 <Schism> The vast moray of bugs is worth waiting. Simple and plain.
10:14 <ConfusionRift> I'm sorry, but being able to clip walls by simply moving 2-3 frames forward was ridiculous. :P
10:14 <Schism> Slightly, yes.
10:29 <Schism> Okay, now I'm afraid of what I have in my palm.
10:30 <ConfusionRift> o_0
10:30 <Schism> Tiny little marble.
10:30 <Schism> Now it's kinda little bit frightening.
10:33 <Schism> And, for now...

10:35 <Schism> And right anyway, damnit.

17:22 <Cepheid> Huh. Ran fine, apparently.
17:26 <Schism> Darnit. I wanted curry.

17:32 * Schism plays the song of the Chamber of Birth.
17:32 <Cepheid> Heh.
17:33 <Cepheid> Intel joining with Mozilla, Red Hat, to form a Bytecode alliance makes me suspicious.
17:33 <Cepheid> Given some of what I learned about Intel in recent weeks.
17:34 <Cepheid> Compilers that generate code that's beneficial to Intel CPUs, while intentionally impairing performance on anything non-Intel, "general" high-performance math libraries that have CPU schedulers that favour Intel CPUs in a similar manner...
17:35 <Cepheid> Ignoring the results of lawsuits they lose and still generating inferior code intentionally for non-Intel CPUs..
17:36 <Schism> That... is very much a vertical monopoly.
17:36 <Cepheid> There's a website that detailed the performance gains/losses regarding it, with regular updates to even NOW.
17:37 <Cepheid> The only reason they were able to prove it was because of VIA.
17:37 <Schism> Nice. For once VIA's half-flanked behaviour works in our favour.
17:37 <Cepheid> VIA has x86/x86-64 compatible CPUs, with the ability to change the CPUID information that identifies the CPU itself.
17:37 <Cepheid> So, you can modify the CPUID info to report the VIA CPU as an Intel or AMD CPU, among others.
17:38 <Schism> Without changing anything else... nice.
17:38 <Cepheid> Result was as expected.
17:39 <Schism> So, how long until Intel pays $1 million to affected AMD users?
17:39 <Cepheid> With the VIA CPU reporting itself as an Intel CPU, the generated code and libraries ran much faster than when it was identified as a VIA CPU.
17:39 <Schism> I'm highballing, of course.
17:39 <Cepheid> It even improved when it was identified as an unreleased Intel CPU.
17:40 <Cepheid> They tried other CPU brands, and even brands that didn't exist.
17:40 <Cepheid> The generated code and libraries defaulted to much slower-performing code.
17:40 <Schism> The only salient point was the vendor ID, then.
17:40 <Cepheid> The difference in this case..
17:40 <Cepheid> Is either literally using 386-level instructions with no enhancements..
17:40 <Cepheid> Or using SSE4.2, AVX or higher.
17:41 <Cepheid> On the Intel CPUs, it'd always use the latest features supported by the specified Intel CPU.
17:41 <Cepheid> On anything else, it'd default to either the absolute lowest common denominator, meaning 386-level code with no enhancements..
17:41 <Cepheid> Or at best, SSE2.
17:41 <Cepheid> But when the VIA CPU's CPUID was changed around, then yeah, the generated code would take the SSE4.2/AVX/etc paths.
17:42 <Cepheid> Here's the worst part, though.
17:42 <Cepheid> AMD has a math library written for their AMD CPUs, similar to how Intel has a set of math libraries for their CPUs.
17:42 <Cepheid> AMD compiles their math library with the INTEL COMPILER.
17:43 <Cepheid> As a result, no matter what AMD does, their math library is going to be absolutely inferior to anything else out there.
17:43 <Cepheid> Because it'll favour Intel CPUs.
17:44 <Cepheid> Anything else, it'll fall back to 386/x87(the low-end math co-processor of x86/x86-64 CPUs) instructions.
17:44 * Schism starts cursing.
17:44 <Cepheid> Which are slow as molasses compared to recent advents.
17:44 <Cepheid> The unfortunate part is that said Intel math libraries are actually used in a lot of software, games included.
17:44 <Schism> And if Intel were queried, they'd say, "we don't know if other platforms will support this code."
17:45 <Cepheid> They actually lost a lawsuit(or settled out of court, I can't recall. Also the FTC has a decree for them as well.) and are required to fix the problem.
17:45 <Schism> NBL.
17:45 <Cepheid> But they're ignoring the settlement and the FTC.
17:45 <Cepheid> It's been years since, and the libraries and compilers still function the same.
17:45 <Schism> Shocked, I am. Shocked.
17:46 <Cepheid> They are also required to disclose the behavior on their websites.
17:46 <Schism> Also nope.
17:46 <Cepheid> But all they say is "The libraries may not perform as well on some platforms."
17:46 <Cepheid> Without disclosing the actual problem.
17:46 <Schism> That is technically a disclosure.
17:47 <Schism> In the sense that "you have a blade stuck in your body" is a disclosure of "AhahahahAHAHAHAH! I'm STABBING YOU OVER AND OVER!"
17:47 <Cepheid> It is, but it's also misleading.
17:47 <Cepheid> Anyhow, most recent tests of their compilers and libraries, as of earlier this year, show they still do it.
17:47 <Cepheid> So utilizing their compiler or libraries is not a good idea.
17:47 <Schism> If they're not required to stop...
17:47 <Cepheid> Unless you want to create optimized builds for different platforms.
17:47 * Schism sighs.
17:47 <Schism> And how many companies will bother with that?
17:48 <Cepheid> None, because asking your users to download a build of an application based on what kind of CPU you're using is silly.
17:48 <Cepheid> You got people who say their CPU is 32GB.
17:48 * Schism facepalms, and nods.
17:49 <Schism> Intel are really going all out in sapping away their goodwill.
17:50 <Lumindia> @Scism: I got my carpenter from 52 to 65 in the course of three hours
17:50 <Lumindia> the XP from Ishgard Restoration is DUMMY THICC
17:51 <Cepheid> Indeed, Schism. That said, I would not say that AMD is completely exhonerated of wrongdoing themselves, either. They've probably done **** in the past as well that's questionable.
17:51 <Schism> Oh, I know.
17:52 <Schism> Lumindia, what?! Ishgard--

17:53 <Schism> aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
17:53 <Schism> I had things I was going to do today, but aaaaaaaaaaaaa.
17:53 <Cepheid> In any case, right now the big problems with CPUs are all the speculative execution bugs and data leakage bugs.
17:53 <Lumindia> and when I say the XP is dummy thicc... I mean DUMMY HECKING THICC
17:53 <Lumindia> and there's no weekly limit
17:53 <Lumindia> batch craft that *yay*

17:57 * Schism starts playing Fridge Tetris.
17:58 <Cepheid> Alas, I cannot determine who first implemented speculative execution. Google searches only bring up the exploits involved with it. Wikipedia is similarly unhelpful. The only date and introducer I can find for anything spec-exec is IBM introducing branch prediction into one of their mainframes back in the 1950s.
17:58 <Cepheid> So I can't determine which CPU manufacturer or engineer is responsible for the whole speculative execution concept becoming widespread, resulting in what is basically one of the biggest performance regressions seen in decades.
17:59 <Schism> Smart money's on Intel introducing this specific bug. Smart money is also on them using as much as they can to scrub this [yay]-up from the universe.
17:59 <Schism> Though to be quite honest, it's probably on IBM in the first place.
17:59 <Cepheid> Unfortunately it's not working out that way for them.
17:59 <Cepheid> More bugs continue to get identified every month.
17:59 <Cepheid> And exploits.
18:00 <Cepheid> A majority of them affect Intel, specifically.
18:00 <Cepheid> And, unfortunately, despite optimistic views of impact to performance...
18:00 <Schism> It turns out that when you give folks the keys to the liquor cabinet, they find a bunch of bottles. Who knew?
18:00 <Cepheid> OS and hardware mitigations are causing considerable performance impacts in various areas.
18:01 * Schism looks surprised. You see this? This is his surprised face.
18:01 <Cepheid> The SQLite insertion test that Phoronix runs, for example..
18:01 <Cepheid> Shows that Linux 4.17 to 5.3 performed quite well, at finishing the test at 12-13 seconds.
18:01 <Cepheid> Then, in 5.4, the time taken jumps up to 48 seconds.
18:02 * Schism eyebrows.
18:02 <Cepheid> A new mitigation was implemented in 5.4
18:02 <Schism> And that brought the time down to, what, 25?
18:02 <Cepheid> No, it increased it.
18:02 * Schism facepalms.
18:02 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Fanfiction: The Exes Club [ http://tinyurl.com/yzyy9wow ]
18:03 <Cepheid> That's why it went from 13 seconds to 48.
18:03 <Cepheid> Mitigations involve working around speculative execution to avoid the exploits in it.
18:03 <Cepheid> Usually by doing things that will explicitly cause a regression in performance.
18:03 <Schism> Ahh, I see. My mistake.
18:04 <Cepheid> The performance loss tends to be anywhere from 15% to 30%, depending on the operation. In some cases, performance is unaffected, or improves, but rarely.
18:05 <Cepheid> Heavens help you if your system is Intel, and does a LOT of context switching, too.
18:05 <Cepheid> One of the mitigations practically doubled the number of clocks a context switch takes for Intel CPUs.
18:05 <Schism> Gods alive.
18:05 <Cepheid> 400 clocks on a high-end i9 CPU to 750.
18:06 <Schism> Randomly: Hey, Lumin. Gonna be doing Alex ultimate? X3
18:07 <Cepheid> I think the absolute worst part about the Spec-Exec exploits is that for mitigating one of them?

18:18 <Cepheid> Then on top of all that, we have hardware problems that we did not exactly forsee.
18:18 <Cepheid> Rowhammer, for example.
18:19 <Cepheid> Increasing density of memory chips has resulted in the ability to read data from adjacent memory cells without directly accessing them, bypassing any security restrictions placed on those cells.
18:21 <Schism> Rowhammer honestly makes me itch.
18:21 <Nedemai> oh something new to look up

18:23 <Cepheid> Hmm? Does he do the Evangelion glasses thing?
18:23 <Schism> Sorta, yes. And gives you the emote.
18:23 <Nedemai> yea sorry, I lurk. Rowhammer wasn't something I was familiar with...
18:24 <Cepheid> I... don't know why I didn't think of this before.
18:24 <Nedemai> I didn't mean to intrude or interrupt in any rude sort of way.
18:24 <Cepheid> It's fine, Nedemai.
18:25 <Cepheid> Anyhow, Windows 10 likes to do device disconnect/connect sounds when, under a non-admin account, a piece of software tries to do something it needs authorization for, but isn't critical to the operation of the software, and fails, because the user account doesn't have authorization.
18:25 <Cepheid> So, the simplest way to deal with it? Go into Control Panel, Sounds, then the appropriate tab... And just turn off the relevant sounds.
18:25 <Schism> That seems... unideal.
18:26 <Cepheid> As for what it's doing, I dunno.
18:27 <Cepheid> I just know it's nothing serious.
18:31 <Cepheid> In this case, it's Steam. It's trying to do something, but the account doesn't have the authority to do what it wants, so it warnings/audits, and emits the sound.
18:33 <Cepheid> If I'm understanding what I'm reading correctly..
18:33 <Cepheid> It's Steam trying to access something through the Runtime Broker, an application that manages permissions under Windows 8/8.1/10 for accessing hardware devices and the like.
18:34 <Cepheid> So, for example, the microphone.
18:34 <Cepheid> As Steam provides voice chat now.
18:38 <Schism> I am randomly amused, because when I hit the Home button on my new XBox controller, it brings up Steam. I'm sure that can be remapped, I'm just tickled by it.
18:38 <Cepheid> Most of the time, it's just firewall stuff, though.
18:38 <Cepheid> UPnP and all that.
18:39 <Cepheid> But yeah, those notifications are bug-all annoying.

18:58 <Cepheid> Since dropping university, not only has my mental health improved, so too has my focus and interest in working again. On top of that, weight loss.
19:01 <Cepheid> I wish there was a web-based way to check OpenGL extensions supported by a visitor's hardware.
19:01 <Cepheid> There's a GL extension I want to use, but I'm not sure how widespread it's availability is.
19:04 <Cepheid> Specifically, ARB_explicit_attrib_location. It's part of Core OpenGL 4.3, so if you have OpenGL 4.3 or higher supported, you automatically have it. Otherwise, if it's below that, it requires OpenGL 3.3 or the extension to be supported.
19:05 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/OregonProgress/status/1194075398423769088
19:06 <Cepheid> Well, my laptop with it's pidly Intel HD 4400 graphics has it, so..
19:07 <Cepheid> OpenGL has over 4000 reports of cards, let's see what it says.
19:08 <Cepheid> 81% coverage for attrib and uniform location extensions.
19:08 <Cepheid> So, acceptable to use it.
19:08 <Cepheid> I consider 1-out-of-5 to be an acceptable "doesn't run" ratio.
19:08 <Cepheid> ... Not even sure why it matters, since I know for a fact that the TA and prof are using GL 4.3 or higher, so they have it by default.
19:09 <Cepheid> http://realtech-vr.com/admin/glview If anyone wants to check their garbage cards under Windows, this'll help you figure out if it's supported.
19:11 <Cepheid> Otherwise, for the Linux users, just make sure you have glxinfo installed(under Archlinux, this is part of the mesa-demos package), and just do "glxinfo | grep "ARB_explicit"" and if any lines are highlighted and read "ARB_explicit_uniform_location" or "ARB_explicit_attrib_location" you're good.
19:17 <Cepheid> The big need for that extension is when I utilize multiple shader programs with the same uniform inputs. Specifically, the uniforms for the world, view and projection matrices. Better to have them assigned explicitly to locations 0, 1 and 2, so that I don't have to explicitly track them. Programming stuffs to make my life easier, that's about it.
19:17 <Cepheid> Oh gods.

19:23 <Cepheid> Hum, most likely to affect CPUs past Broadwell, since Haswell to early Broadwell have it disabled on grounds of a bug found in 2016.
19:23 <Cepheid> Upside is, it's likely not used by your general consumer.
19:24 <Cepheid> Transactional Synchronized Extensions seem to be designed for systems that run databases or heavily-concurrent applications.
19:24 <Cepheid> And requires special low-level library and language support to be utilized, so..
19:31 <Ali> God I thought 3 matches in MTG drafts were bad
19:32 <Ali> But I'm now 6-2 in this draft deck
19:32 <Ali> Going into the 9th game X.x
19:37 <Cepheid> Today's plans... Study Japanese vocab. Implement more of the group project. See if the others have done *anything* I asked them to..

19:41 * PrincessRainbows sits on Ali and claps her hooves, yay horsey
19:42 * Ali curls up under the PrincessRainbows and yawns
19:42 * PrincessRainbows patpats the unicorn
19:44 <Cepheid> I'm assuming they have done nothing. I haven't seen or heard any discussion from them.
19:54 <Ali> Holy *yay* They fixed Sonic
19:55 <Ali> And he doesn't look like garbage
19:57 <Tirek> Imagine living in a world where the people making a terrible video game movie are more receptive of criticism than the company that licensed them the franchise.
19:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> Tirek: Receptive of criticism? The only thing they're receptive of is impact to their wallet
19:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> That's basically the idea behind video game movies: Easy money
19:59 <Starlight_Glimmer> That's why they pretty much all suck
20:00 <Starlight_Glimmer> The fact they changed their main protagonist why after the majority of the work on the movie had been completed shows lack of artistic vision
20:00 <Starlight_Glimmer> With a bit of luck the original design was "design by committee" and the people who actually cared got their voices amplified
20:02 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Makenshi: Emotional OST Music: John Doe - Stroll [Soundtrack] [ http://tinyurl.com/yf75uyrw ]
20:03 <Starlight_Glimmer> Not complaining here. I don't really care about Sonic in any way, but what I've seen of the redesign that has been done is a lot closer to the original in my recollection. Nevertheless for me at the very least intentions do matter.
20:04 * PrincessRainbows licks Starlight_Glimmer
20:04 <Starlight_Glimmer> That being said: It can't be worse than like the emoji movie, Pixels or Angry Birds ...
20:08 * Starlight_Glimmer could rant about the creativity bankruptcy in the movie industry for hours.
20:11 <Ali> Starlight_Glimmer, have you seen the sonic trailers?
20:11 <Ali> The old sonic was downright creepy
20:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah I have
20:12 <Ali> The new one is so much better
20:12 <Ali> And I actually giggled a bit during the trailer so that's a plus
20:25 <LibrarianofHope> new sonic looks nice
20:31 * Ali noms LibrarianofHope ear
20:31 <LibrarianofHope> nuuuu
20:31 * LibrarianofHope dances chunky
20:32 <PrincessRainbows> Do books have ears?
20:32 <LibrarianofHope> no
20:32 <LibrarianofHope> hence i dance chunky
20:34 * PrincessRainbows skims through LibrarianofHope. Too many words not enough pictures
20:35 * LibrarianofHope shifts to cute puppy picture book
20:35 * PrincessRainbows claps. Yay!

20:40 * Cepheid flops back home.
20:42 * PrincessRainbows rates LibrarianofHope 9/10
20:42 *** Joins: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP)
20:42 <Cepheid> Yeah, the CPAP machine they gave me, it's much smaller, quieter, and the hose is much more flexible.
20:42 <LibrarianofHope> 9/10, too many ouns
20:42 <LibrarianofHope> puns
20:42 <LibrarianofHope> owo
20:43 <Cepheid> Oh my gods, really? *ANOTHER* vulnerability for Intel CPUs?
20:43 <Cepheid> This one has the potential to lock up the system altogether, and is problematic for virtual machines.
20:44 * PrincessRainbows chews on the book anyway
20:46 <Cepheid> Apparently, it can be exploited by guest VMs to crash the host or perform a denial of service.
20:46 <Ali> Pft
20:47 <Cepheid> Fortunately, this problem is mostly exclusive to those using virtual machines in the first place. Again, not your average consumer.
20:47 <Cepheid> Though it has implications for the VPS industry.
20:48 <Cepheid> Right then, home now, so time to work.

21:36 <LibrarianofHope> just had to walk a lot
21:36 <LibrarianofHope> a looooot
21:42 <Cepheid> Yeah, simple walking has a lot of physical benefits, including waking one up, helping with temporary pains and aches. Also helps if you do some basic stretching exercises.

21:43 <Cepheid> Usual ones I do are... Actually I don't even know the names of these exercises.
21:45 <Cepheid> I usually do, let's see... Standing quad stretch, a stretch where I touch the tips of my toes. Side Angle Stretch. Seated spinal twist. And this stretch of my own design where I reach across my body to grab the corner of a solid object, and just pull against it.

21:52 <Cepheid> Right now, I am working in near-literal darkness.
21:52 <Cepheid> My curtains are blocking out light. My PC and monitor/TV are off, my bedroom door is closed shutting out light from the outside.
21:52 <Cepheid> And yet, I feel energized by being in the darkness.
21:53 <Cepheid> I've become cave-adapted. Dangit.

23:24 <Cepheid> ... Right, thanks game, I needed that level of creep factor.
23:24 <LibrarianofHope> my amazon equivalent think is pushing advertisment hard, this is great
23:26 <Cepheid> So do I want to go into the creepy mansion, or the house with a creepy, ghostly recording of a woman screaming something about something approaching the room she's locked in?
23:35 <Cepheid> Well that just leaves the creepy house now.
23:40 <Cepheid> Gods, this enemy... it just creeps me out.
23:41 <Cepheid> Ghostly, walks through walls, doors, moans as it moves along. And numerous audio clips suggest that it has killed a number of people throughout Union. o3o;
23:41 <Cepheid> That said, won't lie, I intend to get caught by it at least once to see how it murders me. o3o;
23:41 <Schism> Works commencing on the Ishgardian Restoration on Coeurl in 1 hour and... 28 minutes.

23:50 <LibrarianofHope> alastor wants his cacthphrase back owo
23:50 * LibrarianofHope does radio noises
23:52 <Cepheid> Yeah, that phrase is more or less bound to him now, along with all the eldritch creepiness it entails.
23:52 <Cepheid> Anyhow, time to finally progress the story a bit.
23:52 * LibrarianofHope broke the radio, throws it out
