04:02 <Schism> ... *le sigh*  Disney Plus account credentials are being sold online.  Take care, people.

04:20 <Ali> WHOOPS

04:20 <Ali> This is why I don't like having the internet being your storage place for personal information

04:24 <Schism> While the volume is low, suggesting that it may have been the result of a phishing campaign or the like, it's impressive to see it mishandled so thoroughly.

04:40 * MaredoggieRainbows licks Ali and whimpers

04:41 * Ali whimpers at MaredoggieRainbows

04:43 <MaredoggieRainbows> What's wrong with the Ali horse?

04:43 <Ali> Mostly MTG changes, depression, and still scared I got scammed.

04:43 <Ali> They got rid of Oko, but now Teferi is stepping in and ruining the game.

04:44 <Ali> Cause its fun when a card prevents any sort of instant speed cards to be played and all your cards can be instant speed.

06:25 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:26 <Tirek> Mornin'

06:27 <Tirek> This vanilla caramel tea isn't as good as I thought it'd be.

06:27 <ConfusionRift> Watching someone's stream of the Sonic 3 prototype... things are... interesting.

06:29 <Tirek> I need to check it out eventually. Found it really odd that the s3kpc midis were actually original tracks before MJ's band contributed music.

06:29 <ConfusionRift> That part hit me like a truck. :P

06:30 * MaredoggieRainbows stands and scratches at ConfusionRift

06:30 * ConfusionRift pets MaredoggieRainbows. :P

06:31 * MaredoggieRainbows pants

06:31 <MaredoggieRainbows> How is the ConfusionRift?

06:32 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, there were also some animation changes. Knuckles' animation at the start of Angel Island was different, and same with the swinging sprites.

06:32 <ConfusionRift> Doing alright. Just winding down after some chaos.

06:33 * MaredoggieRainbows fetches the pone some slippers

06:33 <ConfusionRift> Seems that they were still tempo adjusting or something, because music plays probably at 50hz, but that 1-up jingle goes at 75hz. :P

06:34 <ConfusionRift> Tails is there... barely, and when he does show up, it's like he's on a sugar rush.

06:35 <Ali> ConfusionRift, wait till Flying Battery

06:35 <Ali> Its....unpolished

06:35 <ConfusionRift> Angel island is pretty bad. I imag- Knuckles song was different too?!

06:36 * Ali pushes button to drop ConfusionRift into Hydrocity

06:37 <ConfusionRift> Aaaah laaardyyyy!

06:37 <Ali> DOOOOOOOOOOOH HO HO HO HO

06:38 * MaredoggieRainbows curls up under the horseys. Nini

06:38 <ConfusionRift> And Hydrocity is now at 60hz... guh! :P

06:39 * ConfusionRift starts to drown. Picks up bubble. Jingle continues. Absolute confusion and panic!

06:39 <Ali> And then nothing but silence

06:39 <ConfusionRift> "Am... am I dead?"

06:40 <ConfusionRift> Wait... that's a different background!

06:40 * Ali noms ConfusionRift's last ring. "Now you are."

06:41 * ConfusionRift screeches in panic.

06:41 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaand you can die with the bubble shield.

06:42 <Ali> And you can't bounce with the shield either.

06:44 <ConfusionRift> Act 2 then... act 2.... eeerm... act 2? (drowning) ACT 2?!

06:44 <Hajnal> What are you watching?

06:45 <Ali> Yeah the transition wasn't programmed in yet.

06:45 <ConfusionRift> A stream of the prototype of Sonic 3.

06:46 * ConfusionRift sees Sonic zip. "Eeeerm... WIP I see.

06:47 <Hajnal> Oh wow. I do think that's the first Sonic game I ever played.

06:47 <Ali> I played Sonic 2 first

06:47 <ConfusionRift> Aside from the obvious borkness of it all, it's interesting to watch.

06:49 <Hajnal> Well, even Sonic '06 is amusing to watch.

06:51 <ConfusionRift> Different animations, music differences, some design changes, incomplete components and transitions, and some odd changes.

06:51 <Hajnal> Which stage does Sonic 3 end on, again?

06:51 <ConfusionRift> Like how Sonic uses the dead sprite for when he gets caught by the water turbine. :P

06:52 <ConfusionRift> Sonic 3 standalone would be Launch Base Zone.

06:53 <ConfusionRift> Knuckles standalone would be Sky Sanctuary. And both together would be The Doomsday Zone (with all emeralds).

06:56 * ConfusionRift laughs. "You babies. I started with the Game Gear series... I feel so old."

06:57 <Hajnal> To my credit, I have played the 8-bit games.

06:58 <ConfusionRift> The Master System ones, or Game Gear?

06:58 <Hajnal> Just...on the Xbox.

06:58 <ConfusionRift> ...oh.

06:58 <Hajnal> It was the Game Gear version.

06:58 * ConfusionRift feels older.

06:58 <Hajnal> I've never seen a Game Gear or Master System in real life before.

06:59 <Ali> I've played on the game gear

06:59 <Ali> But the rarer system is the Sega Nomad

06:59 <Ali> Which was a portable sega genisis

06:59 <Hajnal> What is this nomad you speak of

06:59 <Hajnal> hm

06:59 <Ali> Took 6 AA's to power the system

06:59 <Ali> And played games in color

06:59 <Hajnal> And I thought the Game Boy was rough.

06:59 <Ali> But boy did it eat those batteries

07:00 <ConfusionRift> You meant it ATE 6 AA batteries. :P

07:00 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that. :P

07:00 <Schism> Always had to plug the thing in.

07:00 <Hajnal> haha

07:00 <Ali> Well it did have a charger version

07:00 <Ali> But that lasted maybe 3 hours at best before it died

07:01 <Hajnal> But having it plugged in all the time half defeats the purpose of getting a portable system.

07:01 <ConfusionRift> And you still couldn't play for too long. That thing overheated with extended gameplay. It could eventually damage the screen, or worse.

07:03 <Ali> I'm not sure where my Nomad is right now

07:03 <Ali> I know I have it.

07:05 <ConfusionRift> My GG is probably in the landfill somewhere. Mom sent it to a repair shop, and they never called us. When we went to pick it up by our own, the shop went bankrupt and was replaced by another console repair shop. So I lost it.

07:06 <ConfusionRift> Got one in decent conditions not long ago, for cheap. It would be crazy if it was my original one.

07:07 * ConfusionRift laughs.

07:10 <ConfusionRift> Marble Garden's transition effects are incomplete, so the deathwall at the bottom is still active. When the ground sinks, you just die when you hit the bottom. Guy tried to use a controller to use Tails to hold Sonic and hopefully transition to the actual boss fight... the ceiling is also solid, so he gets squashed anyways.

07:10 <ConfusionRift> OH!

07:10 <Tirek> A+

07:10 <ConfusionRift> He clipped by the side! Clever. :P

07:13 <ConfusionRift> Jebus Sonic saves the day!

07:14 * ConfusionRift moves the Carnival Night Zone... something's off.

07:14 <ConfusionRift> Where's my clown music?!

07:15 <Tirek> Surprise! PC version sound track for Carnival Night, Ice Cap, and Launch Base!

07:16 <ConfusionRift> Yeah. Gotta say though, still good, since they're still using the original sounds. :P

07:17 <ConfusionRift> Aaaah, sounds are louder and some play for a tad too long.

07:17 <Tirek> I dunno, I heard the prototype versions and I think the Sonic 3 Complete versions are better.

07:18 <Tirek> Also, that one unused track ended up being used for Super/Hyper form. I thought it was a brand new song, but apparently it was an unused track from the PC version I didn't know about.

07:19 <Tirek> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEUoJGmF_UA

07:19 * Schism clips through a wall in the wrong place, gets dropped on the Surface.

07:20 <Tirek> Turn off noclip.

07:21 <Schism> Tirek: There's a known bug in La-Mulana where if you jump into a wall at a specific subpixel while attacking, you can wind up zipping.  Doing so through an invalid room exit causes the game to throw an exception and deposit you back at the starting point.

07:21 <ConfusionRift> Schism: "Y o u  w i l l  n e v e r  o b t a i n  t h e  s e c r e t  o f  l i f e !!!"

07:22 <ConfusionRift> "... CHEATER!" :P

07:22 <Schism> Also, did you know that using the Lamp of Time in the right place lets you clip through to get to Viy really early?  o3o

07:22 * ConfusionRift nods.

07:23 <Schism> Also useful: using the Lamp of Time to skip the lord of the flies entirely.

07:23 <Tirek> Interesting, but I have no intention of playing any La Mulana games.

07:23 <Tirek> They're obviously good games, but, too brutal for me.

07:23 <ConfusionRift> You can also cut through some of the walls and floors that are supposed to break later... and SKIP Beelzebob.

07:23 <Tirek> I watched an lp of La Mulana 2, and that was cool.

07:24 <Schism> DeceasedCrab?  o3o

07:24 <Tirek> Yes and no.

07:24 <Tirek> He stopped his second playthrough early because of a softlock he got stuck in.

07:24 <Schism> Yah, looks like he's back at it.

07:24 <Tirek> I ended up watching someone else's lp instead.

07:26 <ConfusionRift> Did finish the first one... twice... one of them being a randomizer. But yeah. It's one of those that will grind you to dust when you start fresh.

07:27 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, the music on S3C sounds recomposed, which is great. I find it rather interesting, these sudden changes.

07:27 <Tirek> 2hard4me

07:27 * ConfusionRift nods. "Understandable."

07:28 <ConfusionRift> They were interrupted runs too. I couldn't handle going through it non-stop.

07:28 <Tirek> Right.

07:28 <Tirek> I'm not smart enough for a game like that.

07:29 <Tirek> I'm pretty dumb, all things considering.

07:29 <ConfusionRift> With one particular trap almost sending me almost to the edge.

07:31 <ConfusionRift> And whomever's idea for the final sacred orb location deserves the middle finger award.

07:34 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

07:34 <ConfusionRift> Oooh... Ali... you were not kidding. That is not remotely done at all. :P

07:34 <Ali> And know you know why Flying Battery was scrapped to SnK

07:36 <ConfusionRift> Weird. The enemies and some assets are functional, but not placed or initiated.

07:36 <ConfusionRift> Guh, the music. (half bops his head?)

07:39 <ConfusionRift> "Done with the sprite work!" | "Oh... hmmm... still working on the level design." | "Where should I leave them?" | "Anywhere, as long as it's not obvious." | "Okay!" (puts it all in the parallax background)

07:41 <ConfusionRift> I wonder. Is this what one sees after using the level select code with S3 standalone?

07:43 <Tirek> I got level select in sanic 3 before. When you select Flying Battery, nothing happens.

07:43 <ConfusionRift> Oh.

07:43 <Tirek> Same with Mushroom Valley, and Sandopolis, which are also there for some reason.

07:44 <ConfusionRift> Might just be leftovers.

07:44 <ConfusionRift> Or they just removed the transition code, so no one can select them.

07:47 <Tirek> I was only able to get the level select to work on a physical copy, because Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 were so similarly constructed that data left in the RAM from S2 could be transfered into S3 if you were careful enough with switching the carts.

07:47 <Tirek> So you could enter the level select code in Sonic 2, switch to Sonic 3 and then have it.

07:47 <Tirek> Same with debug, actually.

07:50 <ConfusionRift> Huh.

07:52 <Tirek> All the games are extremely similar.

07:52 <Tirek> Same code base, pretty much.

07:53 <Tirek> Sonic 1 is the most different. It has its levels broken up in 256x256 pixel chunks. 2, 3, & K have 128x128 pixel chunks.

07:53 <Tirek> I think.

07:53 <Tirek> Its been a while since I've gone over all of this stuff.

07:54 <ConfusionRift> The reason why some of the larger levels use wrapping to give a simulation of extension.

07:57 <Tirek> Nah, that's something else entirely.

07:57 <Tirek> I don't know what level sizes are limited to, but all the levels are built with a bunch of pre-defined regions of a particular size.

07:58 <Tirek> Labyrinth Zone had vertical level wrapping.

07:58 * Filly_Nightmares sneezies at ConfusionRift

07:59 * ConfusionRift nods.

07:59 <ConfusionRift> And Scrapbrain Zone Act 3, which was supposed to be Labyrinth Zone Act 4.

08:00 <Tirek> Nah, that didn't have vertical screen wrapping.

08:00 <ConfusionRift> That one didn't? Oh yeah, you're right.

08:00 <Tirek> End of the level was, after all, triggered by going above the visible screen.

08:00 * ConfusionRift nods.

08:01 <ConfusionRift> I still want to bap who thought extending Labyrinth Zone was a good idea. :P

08:02 <Tirek> Then there's me, who wants to take the gamegear game's levels and combine it with the genesis game, thus putting in 3 more acts of Labyrinth Zone to make people even more upset.

08:02 <ConfusionRift> Muhuahahaaaa!

08:07 <Tirek> Further, I have the idea of putting acts 4, 5, and 6 after scrap brain 2 just to be a jerk.

08:18 <ConfusionRift> Heh. Someone's stream got delayed because their cat fell asleep on them.

08:20 <Tirek> What a guy

08:20 <Tirek> Heart is what he has.

08:24 <ConfusionRift> Not sure why, but those prototypes tracks are sounding like something that would be on Ristar.

08:25 <ConfusionRift> ...Ice Caps has no level wrapping yet. (Wah-wah-wah-waaawaaaawaaawaaaah!)

08:27 *** Joins: Finwe (vhalkola@Pony-bs4ovt.org.aalto.fi)

08:28 <Finwe> o3o

08:28 <Finwe> Good forenoon, everypony.

08:28 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift.

08:28 <Finwe> o7

08:28 <Finwe> Capt Koopz.

08:28 <Finwe> o7

08:28 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

08:29 <Finwe> The shell server I use seems to have been rebooted recently.

08:30 <ConfusionRift> Tirek: Question, since you might know how S3 works better than I do. Does the game per-chance transitions to the next act right after defeating a boss?

08:31 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait, sorry. More like moved to the next act JUST before the boss fight.

08:31 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7

08:34 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and Surreal_Nightmares; Messrs Starlight_Glimmer, Schism, Heartbreak and Lumindia_.

08:34 * Finwe doffs his hat.

08:35 <Tirek> Uh. I actually have no idea.

08:35 <Tirek> Most levels are set up to all be contained on one map.

08:36 <Tirek> Well, no, I'm wrong.

08:36 <Tirek> Angel Island zone is set up to be contained on one map.

08:36 <Tirek> The other levels dynamically load the next act. I think after the boss is defeated?

08:36 <Tirek> This is based purely on my own observation with specific levels, like Carnival Night's miniboss, and some debug shenanigans.

08:37 <Tirek> After Carnival Night Act 1 is finished and you debug past the act 2 boss area, you'll come across a copy of the board from the miniboss, as well as a copy of the second act map without any stage objects or enemies.

08:38 <Tirek> A lot of really weird stuff happens out of bounds, but the Carnival Night thing is the only one I think you could get around to see.

08:41 <ConfusionRift> ...excuuuuuse me? What?! S3 had the drop dash?!

08:42 <Tirek> Apparently.

08:42 <Tirek> I wonder if the drop dash from Mania was actually inspired by that, or if it was a coincidence.

08:43 <ConfusionRift> Most likely inspired, considering the people working on Mania.

08:43 *** Quits: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-trb5lu.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Quit: Leaving.)

08:45 <ConfusionRift> Also, the reason why I asked that earlier was because the guy got stuck after beating the Carnival Night mini-boss. The stage wouldn't transition...as per usual. So he selected act 2, and he decided to move back. The assets and blocks for the mini boss and stage transitions were still there.

08:45 <ConfusionRift> Was wondering if the acts were all together, or they were clever seamless transitions.

08:47 <ConfusionRift> Odd how LZ is very much a complete stage. It's one of the least broken- I take it back. The transition is just layer code. :P

11:58 <Koopz> though in retroperspective i'm kinda confused... Headliner was Alter Bridge which has 1.8m monthly listeners on Spotify. Before them played The Raven Age with 186k and Shinedown with 4.6m(!) listeners

12:00 <Koopz> and i gotta admit... Shinedown stole the show and i'm not even mad. I like both of the bands

12:01 <Koopz> the setlist of Alter Bridge in comparision to Shinedown's was far more chill...

16:24 <Cepheid> Morning.

16:41 <Hajnal> Morning, Cepheid

16:42 <Cepheid> How goes it?

16:43 <Hajnal> All good here.

16:49 <Cepheid> Cool.  I'm rushing off to campus because I forgot I had a group meeting today.  A meeting I had set up.  I need to get off the damned cymbalta.  It's ruining my memory.

16:58 <Cepheid> Every day, I hear about how content hosting services(Particularly "free" services) change their terms of service to make it such that the end-user earns less, if no, money from the content they put up.

16:58 <Cepheid> And all I have to say in response is "What did you expect?"

16:59 <Cepheid> Bandwidth is freakin' expensive.  Those services can't afford to remain free forever.  Especially if they are investor-driven.  Investors want a return on thsir investment.

17:00 <Cepheid> Such services eventually will start operating at a loss, and need to change in order to turn a profit.  And the solution isn't a simple one either.

17:01 <Cepheid> People who use such services to make money want to make money without losing any of it to anything.  Thus, you can't ask them to pay a small monthly fee.  You can't tax their profits.  You can't use ads because everyone blocks them for security reasons or other excuses.

17:02 <Cepheid> It's getting ridiculous.

17:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: 50+ Of the Best Cutie Mark Crusader Fanfics to Read for CMC Day!  [ http://tinyurl.com/unl355v ]

17:03 <Cepheid> Any free service out there, is free for one reason, and one reason only.  To get users.  Once the user base is up, change the terms of services.  A good portion of people won't read the changes, and be subjected to taxes or hidden fees that earn the provider money.

18:04 <PinkieShy> I've been talking a bunch lately about the stuff happening on YT in another channel on here.

18:05 <PinkieShy> I'm starting to think my only option will be to just.. Remove all my videos from the miniclip dune buggy to VRChat videos..

18:05 <PinkieShy> Since I don't know what they classify as and i don't wanna get sued under the new youtube rules and whatever.

18:09 <MaredoggieRainbows> Meh

18:12 <MaredoggieRainbows> Yay for NSFW everywhere

18:23 <PinkieShy> Is it best to just take down my videos.. :(

18:24 <PinkieShy> The miniclip dune buggy videos of mine is on the front page of google search for that game..

18:30 <MaredoggieRainbows> the main thing I foresee causing problems is using vulgar language but I haven't read it fully

18:36 <PinkieShy> MaredoggieRainbows the way someone put it, and i agree its going to more than likely happen.. With all this ruling YouTube will have a future that is very very NSFW

20:25 <Vulpor> Hey everypony

20:26 <MaredoggieRainbows> Hello fellow horsey

20:26 <Vulpor> I am 2 days away from Level 36

20:27 <Vulpor> and they dropped a bombhell

20:31 <Cepheid> I am going to murder my colleagues.

20:31 * Ali hugs the Cepheid

20:31 <MaredoggieRainbows> Enjoy your jail time

20:32 <Cepheid> Their work amounts to copying the professor's code and not even bothering to integrate it.  90 percent of the code they have provided isn't even theirs.

20:33 * Ali facehooves

20:34 <Cepheid> So I'm gonna spend the day on campus doing just that.

20:35 <Cepheid> Integrating "their" code.  Fixing it up.

20:35 <Cepheid> First though, food.  I ran off to the campus without eating breakfast.

20:42 <Vulpor> So Civ VI is coming to consoles

20:42 <Vulpor> On my birthday

20:43 * Vulpor gathers his nukes

20:52 <Cepheid> I'm not one for an ego in this field, as I am well aware there are people that are aces better than me, but geezus cripes.  I outrank some of the professors here by several ranks.  And that there are third-year students who don't know what they are doing or how to do it...

20:53 <Cepheid> Effin hells.  Do I even want to finish my education and training here, if this is the quality of education and training this university provides?

20:54 <Cepheid> A third-year student should be able to write their own code.  They should be able to read another's code and understand what it does.

20:54 <Cepheid> A student should be able to soove their own problems through googling stuff.  They can't even do that.

20:55 <Cepheid> Guh.  Breathe Andrew, breathe.

23:41 * UwU backs up a bit

23:46 * Schism flops. Returns from work.

23:47 <Schism> Grand total of 35 calls over 8 hours.  Not exactly the shortest day.

23:53 <Ali> Sounds short to me

23:54 <Cepheid> Beginning to understand the need of all those diagrams and such as part of internal projects.

23:54 <Cepheid> As the team lead it seems you need to very explicitly explain what needs to be done.  Otherwise you get stupidity.

23:55 * MaredoggieRainbows is surrounded by stupidity a lot sometimes

23:56 * MaredoggieRainbows bounces around Ali

23:56 <Cepheid> I drew a diagram, then explained what each part does, how it does it, why it does it, why we need it, why our eldritch gods want us to make it...

23:57 <Cepheid> I did everything short of write it myself.

23:57 <Ali> Is that what we're calling professors now? *shot*

23:58 <Cepheid> And to be honest, I don't expect him to get it right

23:59 <Cepheid> These students don't seem to fully understand how to help themselves.  Or ask others for help.  I only oearn of problems because I poke them endlessly.

23:59 <Cepheid> And even then the only time I hear of problems is when I meet them in person.
