00:42 <PinkieShy> That's not good.. >_>

00:43 <PinkieShy> Microwave i think is about to go out on me.. The buttons when i press them they make the a longer 'beeep' sound than before and just had 1 button press end up registering as 2.

00:44 * Ali licks PinkieShy nosie

00:45 <PinkieShy> Power Surge the other day might be the blame :(

00:45 <PinkieShy> and i just bought the microwave back in like March

00:52 * PrincessRainbows sniffs PinkieShy and boops

01:24 <PinkieShy> Its cold enough for a cup of coffee this late ^_^

02:01 <Cepheid> I just implemented a complete UI subsystem FROM SCRATCH in less than 8 hours.

02:02 <PinkieShy> Now this feels good.. Ran in while as much as i could to get my heart racing on me..

02:02 <PinkieShy> I probably should do this more often to burn calories and knock this 10 pounds i gained in a few months all the way back down to 208 and not go back to 218

02:08 <Jackie> Well that sucks

02:08 <Jackie> Thai keyboard lacks some character

02:11 <Ali> That and my client can't show it

02:13 <Stormspark> I went from 195 to 145

02:15 <PinkieShy> I can't see it either.

02:15 <PinkieShy> All i see is boxes with four zeros in it.

02:16 <PinkieShy> But with Jackie's i see OK ZA and OK 19

02:17 <Jackie> สนุกครับ

02:17 * Ali sees more boxes

02:17 <Jackie> Sanook khrap

02:17 <Jackie> means fun

02:17 <Jackie> In Thai

02:19 <Stormspark> I see Japanese characters, and then weird stuff I don't recognize

02:20 <Stormspark> I've never seen Thai before so I don't know if what I'm seeing is right or not, looks like it could be

02:22 * Ali licks Stormspark nosie

02:27 * Ali pounces RazorSharpFang

02:30 <RazorSharpFang> Hello

02:30 <RazorSharpFang> I've been working 50+ hours a week, work's really stressin me out.

02:31 <Ali> It would at that rate

02:37 <PinkieShy> Any advice guys on how to do a Sims 4 house correctly..

02:37 <Ali> Yes, make a pool, throw everyone in it, and remove the exit~

02:38 <ADragonDreaming> Look up real-life house layouts.

02:38 <ADragonDreaming> mimic thenm.

02:38 <PinkieShy> Yes its a real question.. I've thought of it and i can't figure it out exactly.. I mean all i can think of is a giant room for kitchen, living room, and other rooms for bathroom, gyms, and upstairs the bathrooms and bedrooms.

02:38 <PinkieShy> But still that doesn't feel right way to go.. >_>

02:38 <Ali> I feel like the 'scale' is off a bit in any Sims game

02:43 <PinkieShy> I once did something bad in sims XD

02:43 <PinkieShy> Then again we all have :P

02:43 <PinkieShy> Like put a carpet against fireplace in sims, gets the sims in there, and remove the door.. Just so you can meet the grim reaper.

02:44 <Ali> Or put a wooden chair close to it~

02:45 <PinkieShy> Ali funny story, The first family i made in sims 4 died instantly when he tried to make a grilled cheese.

02:46 <PinkieShy> The stove broke out a fire and my sim burned even though i had that water system tank thingy installed correctly.

02:46 <Ali> Yeah that's another classic

02:46 <Ali> Inept cook setting fire to something simple and dying in said fire

02:46 * Schism carefully removes the ladders from the swimming pool in the backyard.

02:46 * Ali boops Schism, she already suggested that one.

02:47 <Schism> Ah, yes.

02:50 * Schism coughs. 'Morthal is just across the swamps, the chief annoyance of the area being that Mittens tends not to be able to wait or fast travel near bodies of water like this, just in case the slaughterfish somehow climb out of the water and kill him.'

02:52 <PinkieShy> Wanna know something sad?

02:52 <PinkieShy> When i got sims city living.. I got my sims a rented apartment on the cheap end.. Day one power goes out and I call the landlord in game.. They come to fix it and say don't call them again for some time.

02:53 <PinkieShy> Next day.. power goes out again.. My sim tries to fix it and he gets electrocuted

02:53 <Cepheid> Right, experiment time tonight.  Nothing game-related.  I need time away from that stuff, actually, for a bit.  'Til the classes are over for the others, etc.  Anyways...

02:53 <Cepheid> All day today, I've been confined to my bedroom, with my bedroom door closed.  I barely coughed *AT ALL* today for the last 9 or so hours.

02:53 <Ali> Open the door HACK HACK

02:53 <Cepheid> I go downstairs for 45 minutes?  All of a sudden, wheezing, coughing, the whole spiel.

02:53 <Ali> Have you maybe had the house checked for mold or something?

02:54 <Cepheid> I'm pretty certain it's not the cats, whatever it is.  If that were the case, my bedroom would bother me regardless.

02:54 <Cepheid> Oh, I want to Ali.

02:54 <Cepheid> But that costs money.  Money I don't have.  Also, to do some checks, they have to damage the walls.

02:54 <Cepheid> So my parents don't want to go through with it.

02:54 <Cepheid> With respect to air flow and such around the house..

02:54 <PinkieShy> speaking of real life house issues.. Told landlord about the front door a few months ago now back when that hurricane/tropical storm or whatever it was hit

02:54 <Cepheid> There's an air return next to my bed.  And a furnace vent under the window.

02:55 <PinkieShy> Told them the door was leaking.. They still haven't fixed it.. I feel like just withholding rent and tell them before i do until they do their jobs as landlord and fix it..

02:55 <Cepheid> So the only air flow in my room is from when the furnace kicks on.  Air that moves into my room, goes down the air return, etc.

02:56 <PinkieShy> Plus the bathroom being broke still.. 3-4 years now and there is no excuse being we like have told them almost every week since its been broke..

02:56 <PinkieShy> I mean they told us to tell them that much lol

02:56 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, basic gist of experiment:  Taking my usual meds for breathing, etc.  Then I'm gonna close the bedroom door, and sleep the night with the door closed.

02:57 <Cepheid> If I have fewer issues, or show signs of recovery, I'm going to assume that there's something in the air around the rest of the house.

02:57 <Cepheid> At which point I'm gonna start harassing the parents about duct cleaning, mold checks, etc.

02:57 <Cepheid> There's no reason why I should be contracting pneumonia seven times a year, now.

03:03 <Cepheid> Already, as is, my breathing is feeling better.

03:05 <Jackie> Time to play Dwarf Fortress

03:09 <Jackie> I wonder what life will be in the year 0

03:19 <Cepheid> Dragons.  Forgotten beasts.  Carp.  Sponges.  Fluffy wamblers.  Suspiciously over-skilled dwarves.

03:19 <ADragonDreaming> PinkieShy

03:19 <ADragonDreaming> check your legal options before you go with withholding rent

03:19 <ADragonDreaming> because that could very well turn into serious problems for you.

03:19 <PinkieShy> Yea I believe the law here states we have to like give them a written statement of what needs to be fixed first.

03:20 <PinkieShy> and if they fail then... They can be in major trouble.

03:20 <Jackie> Cepheid, try embarking on an evil area

03:20 <ADragonDreaming> right, so find out that process

03:20 <ADragonDreaming> and then start it.

03:20 <ADragonDreaming> if it comes to withholding rent you want to have the law on your side.

03:22 <Ali> A vampire Dwarf nomming your children

03:24 * Cepheid uses evening to also run air purifier. See how much it helps.

03:34 <PinkieShy> Welp my birthday is Monday.. The 9th of December is coming fast..

06:04 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:06 <RazorSharpFang> Hey Confy

06:06 <RazorSharpFang> I was thinking of growing a Mulberry tree.

06:06 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, flour tortillas aren't that hard to make with very little. It's more of consistency and light heat.

06:06 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, nice.

06:07 * Ali puts blocks all around RazorSharpFang

06:07 * Ali also licks ConfusionRift nosie

06:07 * ConfusionRift boops Ali. :P

06:08 <ConfusionRift> As for a tree, I'm gonna guess from scratch.

06:08 <Ali> Whenever I hear about planting anything, why does Minecraft come to mind first?

06:09 <RazorSharpFang> Probably 'cos you spend the first few days or so waiting for your wheat to grow

06:09 <Ali> Feels like it takes the first batch of wheat forever to grow

06:10 <ConfusionRift> That, and trees have become more picky.

06:10 <ConfusionRift> Unless you got a bunch of bone meal.

06:10 <RazorSharpFang> Ideally you should have a wheat patch big enough that you have a steady supply of wheat.

06:10 <ADragonDreaming> or twerking is on.

06:10 <Ali> I haven't played MC in quite awhile

06:10 <Ali> ADragonDreaming, that's mostly for skyblock :P

06:10 <ADragonDreaming> and stoneblock.

06:10 * ConfusionRift heys at ADragonDreaming. :P

06:11 * Ali turns into snow mare, whatever she touches, turns to snow

06:11 <Ali> I'm too much~

06:11 * Ali boops ConfusionRift's nosie

06:12 * ConfusionRift now has snow on his snoot. 0_0

06:14 * Ali bets ConfusionRift doesn't even get the reference

06:14 <ConfusionRift> Very likely.

06:16 <Ali> I mean it IS from the 70's, so its easy to miss

06:17 <ConfusionRift> Might know of it, but don't remember, because I'm dumb-dumb.

06:18 <Ali> I'm Mister white christmas, I'm mister snow~

06:18 <ConfusionRift> Ooooooohhhhh!!!

06:19 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that clicked into place. :P

06:19 * Ali boops ConfusionRift's nosie again. "Turns to snow in my clutch. I'm TOO MUCH~

06:19 <Ali> Though you know there's a 2nd half to that song?

06:19 <ConfusionRift> I heard there were things that got cut off.

06:20 <Ali> I'm Mr Heat Miser, I'm mr sun

06:20 <Ali> Err sorry

06:20 <Ali> Its green christmas not the name first

06:20 <Ali> Got the song in my ears so I'm missing parts

06:22 <ConfusionRift> I remember parts of the film, but not the thing as a whole.

06:23 <Ali> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7M9xqsvvh4  Here have the whole thing

06:28 <RazorSharpFang> I'm mostly doing Factorio Seablock these days.

06:28 <RazorSharpFang> I'm almost up to blue science :3

06:28 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, the duo. :P

06:29 * PrincessRainbows sniffs the ConfusionRift and chews on his hooves

06:29 * ConfusionRift whistles.

06:29 <ConfusionRift> Darn you, Ali! This will never stop being catchy! :P

06:29 * ConfusionRift pets PrincessRainbows. :P

06:31 * PrincessRainbows boops ConfusionRift with her chew toy

06:31 <Ali> You can't blame the 70's for not being good for music

06:32 * Ali also sits on RazorSharpFang. "You've heard of some of the .18 changes?"

06:32 <RazorSharpFang> I haven't, actually.

06:32 <Ali> Well you know of the pathfinding fix for the bugs right?

06:32 <RazorSharpFang> I also haven't heard of that

06:33 <Ali> You know how before they attack they all dance around before sending at you one at a time at your gun line?

06:33 <Ali> Well not anymore, they'll all gangrush you now

06:33 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, nice.

06:33 * ConfusionRift is a bit behind on all that.

06:33 <Ali> They're giving them footsteps sounds as well

06:34 <Ali> Animating water and trees

06:34 <ConfusionRift> I know I read of a proposal water reanimation.

06:34 <Ali> And they've figured out how to lower memory usage on a lot of key things

06:34 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, they're gonna start working on content now.

06:36 <ConfusionRift> They were starting to fall on that hole as SE did.

06:36 <Ali> SE?

06:37 <ConfusionRift> Space Engineers.

06:39 <ConfusionRift> As in, spending a lot of time working on hotfixes and continuously fixing what's broken and breaking what was fixed.

06:39 <RazorSharpFang> To be fair, optimisation is seriously appreciated in a game with a billion entities.

06:41 <ConfusionRift> And that is true, but if you spend the whole life cycle optimizing, it gets a bit disappointing, since when it does come out as V1.0, it has the exact same content as it did on 0.01.

06:41 <Ali> Yeah there hasn't been a lot of NEW stuff in Factorio

06:42 <ConfusionRift> Also, I think that modding on an unfinished product is very risky.

06:42 <Ali> Other than a shift of techs and a few other things

06:42 * PrincessRainbows also boops ConfusionRift with her food bowl

06:42 <Ali> Nothing new has been added as far as I know since I started in .16

06:42 * ConfusionRift fills PrincessRainbows' food bowl, and plays for a bit. :P

06:42 * Ali boops PrincessRainbows's ball, it gets snow all over it.

06:43 <RazorSharpFang> There's a lot of stuff that's added in terms of modding potential.

06:43 <ConfusionRift> They did add a few things, and added/changed a few mechanics, just enough to feel somewhat fresh. The other one though, I can boot the game right now, and I bet is about the same.

06:44 <RazorSharpFang> If you're interested in content volume, the mods are there for that.

06:44 <Ali> I know, IR was the last mod I played with

06:44 <Ali> While nice

06:44 <Ali> It slows down everything to a crawl

06:44 *** Quits: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-vug.0ji.9.61.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

06:44 <RazorSharpFang> That is what tends to happen when you increase the number of recipes.

06:44 <Ali> And they decided to mess with more FLUID DYNAMICS

06:45 <Ali> And you know how busted that is

06:45 <ConfusionRift> Yes, that is true. But as soon as a there's an update, mods can get a bit... wonky, and will have to wait for them to catch up. And forget it if they decide to abandon the mod.

06:45 <RazorSharpFang> I'm hoping they'll make nuclear reactors less dependent on water, but that's a heat-pipe dream.

06:45 <Ali> They added a step in ore processing to wash stuff

06:45 <Ali> and it makes waste water

06:45 <Ali> So getting that to flow to a processing station to clean that back up and back into the system

06:45 <Ali> Is such a freaking pain.

06:46 <RazorSharpFang> In my seablock run, waste water is a fact of life.

06:46 <Ali> Yes but you know that instead of a 'flow'

06:46 <Ali> It tires to keep each pipe filled with the same amount of fluid

06:47 <Ali> And the number of pumps you need to prevent that is freaking stupid.

06:47 <ADragonDreaming> Razor: IR doesn't have clarifiers, so...

06:47 <RazorSharpFang> I think that's inevitable when pipes are omni-directional.

06:47 <RazorSharpFang> That's more an issue with that specific modset isn't it?

06:48 <Ali> Well it uses two fluids

06:48 <ADragonDreaming> Deliberate design choice.

06:48 <ADragonDreaming> vanilla Factorio doesn't have waste-water.

06:48 <Ali> Thank god

06:48 <ADragonDreaming> oil processing is a thing you have to deal with

06:48 <Ali> I tend not to have flow issues with oil

06:49 <ADragonDreaming> but the washing process in IR makes dirty water, which you then purify... and you get an 80% or so return of clean water.

06:49 <Ali> The only one is usually a blueprint nuke reactor

06:49 <ADragonDreaming> which you then need to do something with or

06:50 <Ali> And with only a 80% return, you can't set the system to just self sufficient itself and needs new water all the time

06:50 *** Joins: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-vug.0ji.9.61.IP)

06:50 <Ali> But its hard to tell the thing to allow so much new water into the system without causing a back up somewhere.

06:51 <RazorSharpFang> There isn't overflow and top-up valves?

06:51 <Ali> Nope

06:51 <ADragonDreaming> Not by default.

06:51 <Ali> Just a small tank

06:51 <Ali> But even if you wire them

06:51 <Ali> There's just not a way to have 20% more water flow into the system and then stop to prevent an overflow

06:52 <ADragonDreaming> part of it is maximum flow through a single pipe.

06:52 <Ali> That too

06:54 * PrincessRainbows noms the hay and curls up under Ali

06:55 * Ali brushies the PrincessRainbows

06:55 <RazorSharpFang> I'm quite happy with the seablock modset myself. It's nice to be able to expand in peace from biter attacks, whilst having infinite resources albeit slowly.

06:56 <Ali> How is that so?

06:56 <ADragonDreaming> seablock is like skyblock.

06:56 * ConfusionRift makes a mod in which bitters can swim. :P

06:56 <Ali> The one annoying thing about IR is my god the stink

06:57 <ADragonDreaming> you start on a small island in sea

06:57 <ADragonDreaming> make all the resources you need from water.

06:57 <Ali> Fun

06:57 <ADragonDreaming> my problem with it.

06:57 <ADragonDreaming> it's _too_ slow

06:57 <Ali> Slower than IR?

06:58 * PrincessRainbows barks repeatedly before sleep

06:58 * Ali hushes PrincessRainbows and tucks her into bed.

07:00 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know if IR is slower than Seablock, but the start of seablock is a slow grind and climb out of brownout.

07:09 <ADragonDreaming> Ali: yes.

07:11 * Ali rolls around RazorSharpFang and ADragonDreaming

17:22 <PinkieShy> .... :/

17:23 <PinkieShy> Somebody wants me to give them somebody elses discord or give that person their discord so a person that did me and this guy wrong can talk with the other person... Idk if i should bother.

17:30 <PinkieShy> Do you guys think i am wrong for wanting to not do them that favor..

17:30 <ADragonDreaming> what is meant by "give them somebody else's discord"?

17:30 <PinkieShy> Since those people hurt me so much by telling lies/slander about me.. :(

17:30 <PinkieShy> They want to talk with this other guy..

17:31 <ADragonDreaming> so they want their discord ID to be able to contact?

17:31 <PinkieShy> You know the username tag like username#0000 so yea to contact them.

17:31 <ADragonDreaming> ah.

17:31 <ADragonDreaming> did you ask them what they want to talk about?

17:31 <PinkieShy> The thing is to.. I'm still stressing and worrying that lies are still being spread about me.

17:32 <PinkieShy> No, They don't wanna talk with me.. They just wanna use me so they can speak to this other person.

17:32 <ADragonDreaming> and the discord ID they want is of someone they've also hurt?

17:33 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)

17:33 <ADragonDreaming> also, has this person who did you wrong apologized? If not, is there a reason you still interact with them?

17:34 <PinkieShy> No AdragonDreaming they haven't ever apologized.

17:34 <PinkieShy> I haven't interacted with them at all.. Her friend contacted me..

17:35 <PinkieShy> Just got online and saw i had a message from them from like early early this morning.

17:39 <PinkieShy> ADragonDreaming I can't even begin to say how badly I've cried, stressed/worried since i learned somebody was this cruel to say lies about me :(

17:41 <ADragonDreaming> If you suspect that the person requesting it is likely to in some harass the person they're trying to get in contact with, definitely don't. Otherwise, it would be fair to either provide the ID or not provide the ID. You could tell the person who asked you for it that given the history of the

17:41 <ADragonDreaming> actions of their friend, you don't feel comfortable helping them out in this way until reconciliation occurs.

18:28 <Cepheid> It's just a side effect of discontinuation of one of my meds.

18:28 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the university is pushing my buttons again.

18:29 <Ali> When isn't it...

18:31 <Cepheid> The university revoked my bus pass, so I can't use it.

18:32 <Ali> Wut

18:32 <Ali> Is it cause you're not doing Uni anymore?

18:32 <Cepheid> Yeah.

18:32 <Cepheid> They revoked it because I'm not registered satisfactorily in enough courses for their liking.

18:33 <Ali> That's a lame reason.

18:33 <Cepheid> Well, it's a student bus pass, but yeah, it is a lame excuse.  I already paid the fee, so officially they shouldn't be allowed to revoke it, but apparently they have the right to do so.

18:33 <Cepheid> So now I'm probably gonna get an e-mail about them revoking my health coverage, too.

18:34 <Ali> But Canada and free healthcare.

18:34 <Ali> Is this a joke that went over my head?

18:35 <Cepheid> Let me reword that statement.

18:35 <Cepheid> I'm going to get an e-mail about them revoking my prescription coverage.

18:35 <Cepheid> Healthcare is free in the Canada for seeing doctors and such.  Not so much for prescriptions.

18:36 <Ali> Gotta make the dough somehow

18:36 <Ali> Though meds up there are cheaper than they are here

18:36 <Ali> I've heard of some of the prices for meds that a lot of people need

18:36 <Ali> cost $500 a MONTH

18:36 <Cepheid> Yep.

18:37 <Cepheid> My most expensive one is the vyvanse, at $190/mo.

18:37 <Ali> My mom's perscriptions can be so high and it makes no sense

18:37 <Ali> Here's a drug that will help save your life

18:38 <Ali> by the way, that'll be a thousand a month

18:38 <Cepheid> You'd think they'd be aware of the concept of "more people living off your drug == more money overall"

18:38 <Cepheid> And if it's more affordable, they can get even *MORE* money per month from it, since that many more people will buy it.

18:39 <Ali> Yeah, but that's not american greed

18:39 * Ali stares at the pony playmats

18:40 * Cepheid rages against life, makes the lemons thermonuclear bombs and throws them back at life.

18:41 * Cepheid is mostly raging because THE WORLD WILL NOT STOP THROBBING.

18:41 <Ali> Gotta love withdraw symptoms

18:42 <Cepheid> It's the second time in my life I've had to deal with this.

18:42 <Cepheid> First time was when I discontinued venlafaxine, an SSRI, waaaaay back in I think.... 2015/

18:42 <Cepheid> ?

18:43 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, it lasted a month back then.

18:43 <Ali> Lordy

18:44 <Cepheid> If I become agitated or rude at any point over the next 30 or so days, I apologize.  It's likely the throbbing sensation getting to me.

18:45 <Cepheid> It's hard to explain.  The only word I have for it is "throbbing" because it feels like my head expands and then contracts.  And during that small period of expansion/contraction, my muscles just... stop working.

18:45 <Cepheid> It also feels weird.

18:45 <Ali> And those groupmates aren't gonna be helping

18:45 <Cepheid> Like is pulling at my skin.

18:45 <Cepheid> Oh.

18:45 <Cepheid> Today's the day it has to be submitted.

18:45 <Ali> Well at least that's over

18:45 <Cepheid> So after today, I can disconnect myself from them outside of assistance with prepping for exams, which I *DON'T* mind doing.

18:45 <Ali> Yeah those idiots weren't helping things

18:46 * Ali puts Tizzy or Spitfire on Cepheid cause kitties are nice to hold...when they want it.

18:46 * Ali stares at Tia and Luna, stubborn cats.

18:46 <Cepheid> Do they at least sleep up against you at all?

18:47 <Cepheid> Simba, he wasn't big on being on my lap, he spent most of his time up against me instead.

18:47 <Ali> Nope, they're so stubborn

18:48 <Ali> They're still young too so I don't know if its still that harsh independant streak in them or not.

18:48 <Cepheid> They keep that streak for life.  They will likely change a bit over time, but yeah.

18:48 <Ali> Well Heidi, she was kinda like that

18:48 <Cepheid> That said, I know they do like you, based on some of the stuff you've asked about.

18:48 <Ali> But she got into her teens and started to calm down and got friendly with me

18:49 <Cepheid> It's just, their affection for you is shown in a different manner.

18:49 <Ali> Yeah I know, they still like to butt shove.

18:50 <Ali> I mean they still come up to me and Luna likes to get brushed

18:50 <Ali> But they refuse to be held or lay down

18:51 <Cepheid> By the by, speaking of cats and stuff..

18:51 <Cepheid> My experiment last night was a failure.

18:51 <Ali> Oh?

18:51 <Cepheid> Closing my bedroom door didn't improve my breathing.

18:52 <Ali> So now its gonna be harder to pinpoint what's mucking up your breathing

18:52 <Cepheid> ...?

18:52 <Cepheid> Atlus USA changed their twitter account around.

18:53 <Cepheid> Used to be @AtlusUSA.  Now it's @Atlus_West

18:53 <Cepheid> ... Which is telling, sort of.

18:55 <Cepheid> Right, next thing I want to do to EO3 is extract the overlay files.

18:55 <Cepheid> Also, I discovered something about the data.

18:55 <Cepheid> The ARM9 data and the overlays aren't encrypted.  They're compressed.  Appears to be LZ77.

18:55 <Ali> Hmmm, mold doesn't say it can cause pnemonia[sp]

18:56 <Cepheid> No, but post-nasal drip can.

18:56 <Cepheid> Presumably.

18:56 <Ali> Can cause a multitude of breathing issues and even more if you have athsma

18:56 <Cepheid> Especially if the drip in question is infected sinus material.

18:56 <Cepheid> I don't have asthma.  I know this for certain, now.

18:56 * Ali nods

18:56 <Cepheid> I was tested for it a few months back.  Full round of tests.

18:56 <Cepheid> Testing came back negative for asthma.

18:57 <Ali> Kay

18:58 <Ali> You know Cepheid I do hope Factorio adds something eventually to the game, its been two versions of mostly cosmetic and tech changes.

18:58 <Cepheid> Whatever it is, it's something that agitates my sinuses.  Right now, my nose is currently all swollen in the interior.

18:59 <Ali> I mean I feel like they underpowered the tank, but again I don't know how to use it as well now that its been changed.

19:02 <Cepheid> They will likely start adding content between .18 and 1.0

19:03 <Ali> Hope so

19:03 * Cepheid copies all of his documentation, code, tools and the like over to PC.

19:04 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Penny Wrights: Equestria Girls: Rarity Investigates the Case of the Bedazzled Boot Follow Up [ http://tinyurl.com/qustujk ]

19:05 <Cepheid> Off-topic from EO3, since I changed OSTs I'm listening to, but man, I wonder...

19:06 <Cepheid> What was the design rationale and history behind Galacta Knight in the Kirby series?  An entity that is, by lore, supposed to be even stronger than Dark Matter, and is effectively a souped-up variant of Meta Knight.

19:06 <Ali> I haven't followed the main Kirby series in forever

19:07 <Ali> The only Kirby games I played were on the GB and the NES

19:08 <Cepheid> Galacta Knight is, as far as I know "non-canon" as he is never actually faced in the games during their storylines.

19:09 <Ali> I've always been confused by Meta Knight

19:09 <Ali> And sometimes Dedede

19:09 <Cepheid> He's basically an extra boss you can fight, and has requirements for accessing.  He first appeared I think, in Kirby Super Star Ultra.  The remake of Kirby Super Star.

19:09 <Ali> Yeah never played either of those

19:09 <Cepheid> There's actually lore behind the two's actions.  In many case, when Dedede is the antagonist, he's acting out of concern for something, or possessed.

19:10 <Ali> Yeah he does seem to get possessed a lot

19:10 <Cepheid> In the NES game, he was trying to prevent the restoration of the Dream Rod because he knew what would happen.

19:10 <Ali> Cause of the Nightmare

19:10 <Cepheid> In the games prior to Dreamland, it was either "He wanted to challenge kirby" or because of possession by Dark Matter.

19:10 <Cepheid> It's not surprising he gets possessed a lot.  Dark Matter seems capable of possessing a lot of entities, regardless of their willpower and such.

19:11 <Cepheid> And yeah, because of the Nightmare.

19:11 <Ali> Again Kirby was a strange game and the 64 game was an odd one

19:11 <Ali> I never played the DS games cause those were just...wierd

19:11 <Cepheid> Heh.

19:11 <Cepheid> Yeah, the lore and stories are all weird.

19:11 <Ali> Of course it is, its Kirby

19:12 <Ali> But I never played the more recent entries into the series, mostly due to lack of money.

19:12 <Cepheid> Most of them focus around some aspect of Dark Matter, a universe-spanning, universe-traversing entity that is effectively an eldritch horror.

19:12 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, Kirby himself is an eldritch horror of sorts.

19:12 <Ali> I mean how can he inhale all that stuff

19:12 <Cepheid> Not only that.

19:13 <Cepheid> He inhales it, and can *ERASE* it from existence.

19:13 <Ali> Or like in Smash, copy every person

19:13 <Cepheid> The stuff he inhales, and does't spit back out, it has to go somewhere.

19:13 * Ali nod nods

19:13 <Cepheid> And given how he goes from large-bulbous-sphere to normal-sized implies it's not a case of simply eating them and digesting.

19:14 <Cepheid> He's either a wormhole in a small package, wherein everything he disposes of is sent elsewhere, or he simply erases things from existence.

19:14 <Ali> Sometimes its best not to question things

19:14 <Cepheid> As for Meta Knight's behaviour.

19:14 <Cepheid> The fanbase is under the assumption that his behavior is more as a foot-long pole to poke Kirby into action.

19:15 <Ali> Well if you've seen the anime of Kirby

19:15 <Ali> It makes sense cause he's a lazy butt.

19:15 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

19:15 <Cepheid> And it follows from the logic in the games.  There's legitimately no reason for him to be so "honorable" towards Kirby, if he were an antagonist.  His actions are planned, and for a reason.

19:17 <Cepheid> ... Huh.

19:17 <Ali> Well in the NES Kirby

19:17 <Ali> He just shows up and fights you, and it just made no sense in a way

19:17 <Cepheid> Windows 10 recognizes .sh files, and treats them as batch files.

19:19 <Cepheid> Right, I should make these into cmake projects, then push 'em to a private repo.

19:23 *** Quits: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-trb5lu.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

19:23 * Cepheid hums, rubs his chin. "How can I ensure that, no matter what, newly added files will always be picked up by CMake..?"

19:23 <Cepheid> I can't use file globbing.  CMake devs actually advise against that, because it'll re-evaluate the CMakeLists.txt file if it's been changed.

19:24 <Ali> You're now talking Greek to me

19:24 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know.  Sorry.

19:34 <Cepheid> Hum.  CMake added something in 3.12 that is SUPPOSED to help with my problem, but they still advise against using it because it doesn't work with all project generators.  Hum.

19:36 <Cepheid> Speaking of other games...

19:38 <Cepheid> Someone buy me Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX for the Switch, and I'll stream the full Gunvolt series from start to end.  >.>

19:39 * Ali has no money

19:40 <Cepheid> Heh, it's fine. :P  I'm being silly anyway.

19:40 <Cepheid> The Gunvolt series is basically a... Megaman-like series.  Closer to the X series from X4-onwards in style and gameplay.  Interesting, too.

19:41 <Ali> But X4 after SUCKS

19:41 <Ali> Remember

19:41 *** Quits: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

19:41 <Ali> WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR

19:44 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's not similar to X4+ in terms of story.  I meant in gameplay and graphical style.

19:44 <Cepheid> Though, it uses a pixel style akin to X3 and lower, rather than HD graphics.  With some exceptions.

19:44 <Cepheid> HD graphics are exclusively reserved for UI-related stuff.

19:45 <Cepheid> So, character portraits, the UI, menus, and full-screen drawings.

19:45 <Ali> I was surprised when Megaman 9 and 10 went old school

19:45 <Ali> Then 11 came out, I was so happy to see a new Megaman game.

19:46 <Cepheid> Heh.

19:47 <Cepheid> The basic gist of the Gunvolt series is that the world is now full of a bunch of people who are effectively espers, people with special abilities.  There's an organization, however, that is trying to take control of all of them.  You play a character who's part of a resistance organization, who is basically an electromaster, that is, he manipulates the power of electricity.  It's an interesting setup, because his powers are...

19:47 <Cepheid> used in unusual ways.

19:47 <Cepheid> He uses a gun as his primary weapon, but it's not very powerful.  It just shoots small, piercing, metalic darts.  They do minimum damage.

19:48 <Cepheid> No, the way he fights is to use said dart gun to pierce the enemy with multiple metalic darts, and then uses his powers to electricute the **** out of them.

19:48 <Cepheid> More darts, the greater and faster the damage.

19:49 <Ali> Still not lemons

19:49 <Cepheid> Has the same limit as the lemons, though.

19:49 <Ali> 3 on the screen?

19:49 <Cepheid> No more than 3 on screen at a time, and no more than 3 darts on enemies.

19:49 <Ali> I played 20xx and while it tires to be megamanish

19:49 <Ali> The game is just...boring

19:49 <Cepheid> But you can, in fact, apply 1 dart to 3 different enemies and shock the **** out of all 3.

19:52 <Cepheid> The series is finicky in one area, in my opinion.

19:54 <Cepheid> The game encourages recklessness beyond measure.  You have a combo system, and at the end, your combo is graded, and you get items usable for upgrades and equipment based on the grade.  To maximize the combo, you have to move through stages fast, destroy as many enemies as possible, ideally with 3 darts out on one or more enemies.  You also have to skip over the continue points.  Touch them, your combo returns to 0.

19:54 <Cepheid> I think taking damage also affects the combo.  I can't recall off-hand.

19:55 <Cepheid> While the items aren't critical.  You can finish the game with bare-bones stuff, there's one other benefit to the combo system, that is unfortunate for the musicians.

19:56 <Cepheid> There's a number of vocal tracks in the series.  They're only ever played if you achieve a combo of 1000+

19:57 <Cepheid> So, basically, if you're a subpar player just playing for the fun of it, you'll never hear the vocal tracks.

19:58 <Ali> Pretty much

19:58 <Ali> Then again

19:58 <Ali> I 100% Megaman 11 twice >.>

19:59 <Cepheid> Heh.

19:59 <Ali> And by steam's achievement system

19:59 <Ali> Says that only 1% of all owners of the game have the hardest ones

19:59 <Ali> And I did it twice >.>

20:00 <Cepheid> As for the songs, there's a lore explanation for them.

20:00 * PrincessRainbows sniffs the Ali horse and boops

20:01 * Ali brushies the PrincessRainbows and boops her nosie back.

20:05 <Cepheid> Early on, you run into the character Joule, a child who is host to an entity named Lumen, a JPOP band-in-one.  Her singing has various effects on individuals with weird powers in the game's world.

20:05 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-trb5lu.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)

20:05 <Cepheid> All the various vocal tracks are her songs.

20:06 * PrincessRainbows barks

20:08 <Cepheid> Hum, there.  Got the program building.

20:14 * Ali builds a crappy dirt house over Cepheid and PrincessRainbows

20:14 * PrincessRainbows whimpers at Ali

20:14 * Ali brushies PrincessRainbows

20:17 * PrincessRainbows yays

20:18 <Cepheid> Hum.  Doesn't run on my PC.

20:19 <Cepheid> Hmm.

20:19 <Cepheid> Based on the program on my laptop, I used some weird argument stuff.

20:20 <Cepheid> Second parameter is supposed to be the NDS file... Third is supposed to be the output.

20:22 * Cepheid checks something.

20:22 <Cepheid> ... Oh, right.  Windows.

20:22 <Cepheid> It's just slow with opening lots of files.

20:24 <Ali> Good old windows

20:25 <Ali> I had a graphics crash a little while ago

20:25 <Cepheid> Windows 7 onwards included a new file IO subsystem, and for whatever reason..

20:25 <Cepheid> A *LOT* of tile is spent just opening files.

20:25 <Ali> tile?

20:26 <Cepheid> Er, time*

20:26 <Cepheid> Sorry.

20:26 <Cepheid> I'm... not all here.  My brain keeps jolting.  I'm thinking I might stop with the coding today and do something else, if this keeps up really badly.

20:27 <Cepheid> My memory is shot to hell.

20:27 <Ali> Yeah might want to do something simple and relax

20:28 * Cepheid tries one last thing before he does. Wants to test something out.

20:30 <Cepheid> Yeah.  There's something about opening, writing, then closing, that's really slow on Windows.  It's probably related to the I/O stuff that Windows changed.  I have no idea how to speed it up, if at all.

20:39 <Cepheid> Right.

20:40 <Cepheid> Takes 1,272 milliseconds to open 7640 files.

20:40 <Cepheid> And even then, they don't appear to be "open" as when I try to close them, the program crashes.

20:44 <Cepheid> ... And it's because it's unable to open files..?

20:50 <Cepheid> .. Oh.

20:51 <Cepheid> I'm opening too many files.  o3o;

20:52 <Cepheid> Opening and then closing files, it takes 2.63 seconds.

20:52 <Cepheid> That is WAY too long.

20:53 <Cepheid> Even my laptop, which is slower and weaker than this PC, takes literally such a short amount of time that it doesn't even register a second.  And this is with writing the data to the files.

21:00 * Cepheid writes his last class for the day. After this, he'll game.

21:13 <Cepheid> I am an idiot.

21:13 <Cepheid> Ah well.

21:13 <Cepheid> Programming is a never-ending stream of learning.

21:15 <Cepheid> Anyways, with that, as promised, gametime.

21:16 <Cepheid> In this case, playing the actual game instead of constantly working to decode it.  o3o;

21:17 <Cepheid> Where did I leave off..?

21:17 <Cepheid> Oh, right.  Stat-boosting Ali.

21:17 <Cepheid> Also turning her into the resident party deity.

21:21 <Cepheid> Basically, this involves getting her VIT stat to max, her level to max, and basically turning her into one of the most defensive characters in the game.

21:23 * PrincessRainbows bounces around playing with her chew toy

21:25 *** Quits: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-trb5lu.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Connection closed)

21:25 <Cepheid> Gonna temporarily regret this move, but it's needed.

21:25 <Cepheid> And in the end, benefits the character.

21:27 <Cepheid> ... Actually now that I think about it, this might be the better approach.

21:30 <Cepheid> It is worth pointing out now, that Ali, a zodiac(EO3 mage, you know, super squishy), now has more defense than the party's local hoplite.  She can sit on the front row and take less damage than anyone else on the front row.

21:30 * Ali doesn't understand anything

21:31 <Cepheid> A character I named after you, who is the resident mage who makes all the monsters fall down with explosions, crystalization, and super-shocky damage, has more defense than one of my most defensive characters, and has an amount of HP that is befitting of a melee front-row fighter.

21:31 <Cepheid> I did this to increase her survivability.

21:34 <Cepheid> To put it in simpler terms, you are the strongest character I have in EO3, by far.  No one else can, and ever will be, able to compare, unless I actively work towards making another character like her.

21:39 <Cepheid> ... Because she is subclassed to Hoplite, I can get her the skills Parry and Magic Parry, which, respectively, have a chance to nullify physical and magical damage.  They are passive skills.  *Grabs*

21:40 <Cepheid> Still need to find and kill the Kraken.  I know it's on floor 14, somewhere.

21:40 * Ali flails at Luna

21:40 <Ali> Cat make up your mind

21:40 <Cepheid> What is she doing?

21:40 <Ali> Crying for attention

21:41 <Cepheid> Then give it to her? o3o

21:41 <Ali> I am :P

21:42 <Cepheid> One thing I need to investigate in the files for this game are the game scripts and FOEs.  I'm almost certain the Pasaran's have a spawn condition.

21:43 <Cepheid> Food, though.  Need to eat.  Lately, been having problems where I get into my work so much I stop eating.  o3o

22:06 <Cepheid> Hum, so that's what "sekai" means.

22:07 <Cepheid> Frequent word I hear, and read.  Stands for "World; Society; The Universe;"

22:13 <Cepheid> ...

22:14 <Cepheid> So, a factor I just noticed while I am sitting here that should probably be taken into consideration for my breathing.

22:14 <Cepheid> Right now, as I sit, playing this game, I am breathing through my nose, exclusively.

22:14 <Cepheid> My breathing is doing okay.

22:16 <Ali> Okay?

22:18 <Cepheid> If I breathe through my mouth, I start coughing.

22:19 <Cepheid> Guess the nose hair is actually doing something then.  So trimming it probably isn't a good idea.

22:26 <Cepheid> I'm gonna go downstairs, away from my PC.

22:26 <Cepheid> Long as I remain around it, I feel compelled to work.

22:26 <Cepheid> I need to relax.

22:37 <ADragonDreaming> hi

22:37 <Amu> Hows it going?

22:38 <ADragonDreaming> It goes!

22:38 <Amu> K.

22:38 <ADragonDreaming> Watching comedians

22:39 <Amu> Dun get arrested xD

22:40 <ADragonDreaming> That would be a feat.

22:40 <Amu> So hows life?

22:42 <Amu> Is chat usually dead?

22:52 <Ali> Sunday's are kinda dead in here

22:53 <ADragonDreaming> I prefer to think of chat as chill.

22:53 <ADragonDreaming> it's a place I drop into and talk about a thing for a bit with some folks.

22:54 <ADragonDreaming> Though I'm often distracted by other things. Like just now a GURPs game picked up again.

22:55 * Ali flops over ADragonDreaming

22:56 <ADragonDreaming> This one is magical murder mystery set in New York. I'm playing a semi-jaded homicide detective and the other PC is a Professor specializing in archaeology, history, and ancient languages.

23:32 <Cepheid> Huzzah, I got my first character to level 99 in EO3.

23:35 <Cepheid> Interesting note.  One point of strength contributes to 2 ATK, and each level contributes 1 point to ATK.

23:36 <Cepheid> Thus, the character, at 44 strength, level 99, has 187 attack with no weapon equipped.

23:37 <Cepheid> ...

23:37 <Cepheid> So, at level 30, with 27 strength...

23:37 <Cepheid> It's actually more effective to REMOVE THE WEAPON.

23:37 <Cepheid> The starter weapon that is.

23:37 <Jackie> So

23:38 <Jackie> my fort is 1x2

23:38 <Cepheid> Nice art, by the by.

23:38 <Jackie> :3

23:38 <Jackie> thanks

23:39 <Cepheid> Hum... Level 30, 42 skill points.  Subtract 3 for starting points.  That's 39.  Subtract... 29 points(1 for each level from 2 to 30 inclusive).  A retirement from level 99 results in... 10 extra skill points.

23:39 <Cepheid> For a grand total of 111 points.

23:40 <Cepheid> This character is also OP.  It retains all the book points.

23:41 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's 69 levels lost, but ultimately, it's worth it.  Especially since apparently, it's easy to get back up.  Her TEC is already nearly 99, meaning she'll kill the usual FOE in two hits.

23:42 <Cepheid> Seems wrong to have 430 defense at level 30.  On a mage.

23:44 <ADragonDreaming> which character?

23:44 <ADragonDreaming> Jackie: fort?

23:44 <Cepheid> Ali, Zodiac.  Got her to level 99, then retired to get bonus stats and points.  Zodiacs are the game's mages.  They aren't designed to take hits.

23:45 * Ali rolls around

23:45 <Jackie> ADragonDreaming, Dwarf Fortress??

23:45 <ADragonDreaming> Jackie: ah.

23:45 <Cepheid> Small fort.

23:45 <Cepheid> Have to work vertically.

23:45 <Jackie> Tiny ass one lol.

23:45 <Jackie> If letters

23:45 <ADragonDreaming> that's more like a ... tower.

23:45 <Jackie> It's 48x96

23:45 <ADragonDreaming> Sim Tower

23:46 <Jackie> Has anyone ever made a 1x1

23:46 <Jackie> or 48x48 letter

23:47 * Cepheid equips the Armoroad Emblem on character. First attempt to grind the Freed Savages resulted in a OHKO.

23:47 <ADragonDreaming> dunno.

23:55 * Lumindia_ boops Ali and Jackie

23:55 <Lumindia_> Ponies! :D

23:55 * Jackie kisses Lumindia_ on the snoot uwu

23:56 * Ali sits on Lumindia_

23:56 <Lumindia_> o//o

23:56 * Lumindia_ is kissed and also sat upon

23:56 * Lumindia_ is unsure what to feel at the present moment

23:57 * Jackie makes a pony pile

23:57 * Lumindia_ squishes

23:57 <Lumindia_> X_X

23:57 * Jackie picks up Lumindia_

23:57 * Lumindia_ squeak?

23:58 * Jackie cuddles

23:58 *** Lumindia_ is now known as Lumindia

23:58 * Lumindia cuddle back, engages softness
