00:07 <ADragonDreaming> well.

00:07 <ADragonDreaming> Can confirm Impossible Whopper tastes just like regular Whopper.

00:08 <Cepheid> Heh.

00:10 <Schism> That's good to know.

00:10 * Schism flops in from work.

00:17 * Cepheid flops back upstairs to room, as right now, it's the only place he "feels calm" right now.

00:18 <Cepheid> Mother will not stop talking.  Both parents keep insisting on watching The Big Bang Theory, a show which actually pisses me off.  Cats demand constant attention.

00:19 * PinkieShy Meows

00:20 <Schism> I like these system requirements.  They make perfect sense.  http://melonds.kuribo64.net/faq.php

00:20 <Schism> Cepheid: Oh, yeah.  I mean, Sheldon Cooper alone... ugh.

00:21 <Cepheid> My suggestions if you intend to use it for EO3.

00:21 <Cepheid> First, use the software renderer.  Game doesn't like the OpenGL renderer.

00:21 <Cepheid> Beyond that?  Not much to say.

00:22 <Schism> I might poke it at some point, yeah.

00:22 <Cepheid> It works fine with the game, unlike No$GBA.

00:22 <Cepheid> Which has rendering defects and crashes in certain situations.

00:22 <Cepheid> Namely, attempting to fight the Abyssal God.

00:22 <Schism> Mm, No$GBA never really had THAT much in the way of DS support.

00:23 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

00:23 <Cepheid> It's just it's primary use is debugging.

00:23 <Cepheid> If you use the Debug version of No$GBA, it'll show a lot of information.  A lot more than you can get anywhere else.

00:23 <Cepheid> Speaking of, I figured out the exact checksum algorithm.  Like, the bare minimum code required to get it to work.

00:24 <Cepheid> int sum = 0;  for (int i = start; i < end; i++) { sum += (char)byteData[i]; }  return sum;

00:25 <Cepheid> I store the byte data as unsigned bytes, because, well, data.

00:25 <Cepheid> Turns out, for the checksum, it should be interpreted as signed bytes.

00:26 <Schism> Comparatively straightforward, but it really doesn't need to be anything else.

00:26 <Cepheid> Nope.

00:26 <Cepheid> Also, I've determined a few interesting bits.

00:26 <Schism> Pfff. https://www.birdandmoon.com/comic/four-seasons-of-bird-watching/

00:26 <Cepheid> The UI is designed to support up to 3 digits for stats.  Any more, and things get wonky.

00:26 <Cepheid> Usable, but wonky.

00:27 <Schism> So, don't expect your 32,767 HP to display properly.

00:27 <Cepheid> Stats themselves, as far as I was willing to test them, went as far as 32767 without issue.  HP and TP, any higher than 32767 breaks the character.

00:27 <Cepheid> Because current HP and TP are stored as signed 2-byte integers.

00:27 <Schism> Considering they're signed integers, yeah.

00:27 <Cepheid> So the maximum value they can hold is 32767.

00:27 <Schism> If you heal a character with 32,767 HP, do they die?

00:27 <Cepheid> Any higher, and whoops, overflow.

00:28 <Cepheid> If I heal a character with more than 32,767, they stay dead.

00:28 <Cepheid> If I heal one with more than that, and it's not at max yet, they die.

00:28 <Cepheid> Well, sort of.

00:28 <Schism> Oh, I know.  But I'm wondering if it wraps around and breaks the character if they've 32767/32767 HP.

00:28 <Cepheid> The game apparently doesn't check if the character is dead or not after healing.

00:28 <Schism> That's a classic bug on a number of games.

00:28 <Cepheid> So it leaves you with negative health and a living character.

00:29 <Schism> But one which will die in one hit.

00:29 <Cepheid> Yep.

00:29 <Cepheid> By the way?

00:29 <Cepheid> Abyssal God, full strength?

00:29 <Cepheid> That is, with no tentacles killed?

00:29 <Cepheid> Impossible to kill, even with 32767 stats.

00:29 <Schism> Whoof.  That's a shame, but it makes sense.

00:30 <Cepheid> Well, sort of.  At those stats, you'll be dealing an average of 230 or so damage.

00:30 <Cepheid> But it's resistant to all damage.

00:30 <Cepheid> And every turn, it uses one of it's three elemental murder spells.

00:30 <Cepheid> While at max stats, these spells are easily survivable..

00:30 <Cepheid> Normal gameplay stats?  Virtually impossible.

00:30 <Cepheid> There's only one way I can think of to get around it.

00:31 <Cepheid> You have three zodiacs, each with an elemental prophecy.  They spam their prophecy relentlessly.

00:31 <Cepheid> While the two front-row characters chip away at it's health.

00:31 <Schism> And even then, it'd probably take a good couple of hours.

00:31 <Cepheid> Probably.

00:32 <Cepheid> If at 999 ATK, I'm dealing only ~230 damage..

00:32 <Cepheid> Anything less than that's gonna be lower.

00:32 <Cepheid> Keep in mind, this same attack stat deals 8000+ damage to Narmer.

00:33 <Schism> On consideration, then, every tentacle left alive... what, doubles the defense?

00:33 <PinkieShy> !moo

00:33 <DerpyBot> Who are you calling a cow?!

00:33 *** PinkieShy was kicked by DerpyBot (To the MOO!)

00:33 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

00:34 <Cepheid> Doubt it, Schism.

00:35 <Cepheid> There's three entries for the Abyssal God in the monster database.

00:35 <Cepheid> One, presumably, is at full strength.

00:35 <Schism> Ah, got it.  So even killing one tentacle will make it plausible.

00:35 <Cepheid> Then one after all the tentacles are dead.  Then a third form.

00:35 <Cepheid> I assume all the tentacles must be dead.

00:35 <Schism> Or... hm.  You're probably right.

00:35 <Cepheid> And yes, the Abyssal God has a third form.  Presumably this is the "The boundaries are becoming undone" message.

00:36 <Cepheid> Probably akin to the Warped Savior.

00:36 * Schism admittedly cheats, looks at wiki. "Oh."

00:38 <Cepheid> Don't tell me.

00:38 <Cepheid> I don't know.

00:38 <Schism> I won't.  Just saying, that's one heckuva boss.

00:39 <Cepheid> I just know that there are 3 versions.

00:39 <Cepheid> Aren't they all?

00:39 <Schism> Yeah, but this one looks a lot more complex than the Star Devourer.

00:40 <Cepheid> Heh.

00:40 <Cepheid> I'm wondering how long before the EO subreddit notices what I'm doing and comments on it.

00:43 * Cepheid goes to grab code from PC. Is gonna port it over to GtkSharp instead of WinForms. WinForms is buggy anyways.

00:43 <Cepheid> Plus, using GtkSharp, I can run the tool on Linux, MacOS X and Windows.

00:46 <Schism> Also, Cepheid: "Sin's what you get when you start treating people like things." "It's a little more nuanced than that..." "Oh, there's all kinds of sin.  But treating people as things, that's where it starts."

00:47 <Cepheid> Heh.

00:47 <Cepheid> I get the impression that might be in response to some tweets I made. :P

00:47 <Schism> Just a bit, yes.

00:47 <Schism> Pratchett was a radical agnostic, but that's one of the most poignant and resounding lines he's ever written.

00:47 <Cepheid> It's probably where I am most insane, really.

00:48 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDMwDT6BhhE By the by, Schism.

00:48 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Objection Funk

00:49 * Schism provides Lumindia with a plush Brute Justice.

00:49 * Lumindia_ activates the doubel rocket pawnch

00:50 * Schism is thrown off the edge of the battlefield.

00:50 *** Quits: Lumindia (quassel@Pony-45lvcs.pbg.ptd.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

00:51 <Cepheid> The fun thing, by the wa.

00:52 <Cepheid> Er, way*

00:52 <Cepheid> One boss track in EO3, I've yet to hear it.  I presume it has to do with the vast nature of the Abyssal God.

00:52 <Cepheid> What's interesting about it though...

00:52 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgzpgP7d_xI It's in EO Nexus.

00:52 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Etrian Odyssey Nexus [世界樹の迷宮X] - Calling That Detestable Name (X ver.)

00:54 <Schism> Maybe it was just dummied out in that instance?

00:56 <Schism> A part of that song very much reminds me of Lavos.

00:58 <Cepheid> A lot of EO3 appears in Nexus.

00:58 <Cepheid> First few stratums, a reference to the Abyssal Shrine..

00:58 <Schism> "Arizona man registers hive of bees as an emotional support animal."

01:04 <PinkieShy> ISP did network upgrades apparently last night.. I was up when it was happenign and saw the modem go off a few times >_>

01:04 <PinkieShy> It stopped me from watching netflix for about almost an hour.

01:06 <Schism> Hm.  Arizona man registers apiary as an emotional support animal, to highlight the flaws in the registration system.

01:07 <Schism> He's going to need a very large number of teeny tiny vests.

01:09 *** Ali|AFK is now known as Ali

01:09 * Ali flops over somepony

01:39 <Schism> Some days, I love kismet.  Today, for example, I enjoyed a free lunch (TANSTAAFL be damned, it was free enough), which is great, because I forgot to bring any of the chili I made last night.

01:40 <ADragonDreaming> tanstaafl?

01:40 <ADragonDreaming> there ain't no such thing as a free lunch?

01:43 *** Joins: Dranae (kacyr@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

01:43 <Schism> Yup.

01:46 * Ali flops over Schism with a entire extra pot of white bean chili. "I made too much..."

01:46 <Schism> When you make chili, you -always- make too much.

01:46 <Schism> This is one of those laws of the universe.

01:46 * Dranae taps Ali. What kind of mana does she generate?

01:46 <Ali> Well I made a double batch of it, just nobody ate enough of it.

01:46 <Schism> Ali makes either Black or Green mana, or gives a creature +1/+0 or +0/+1.

01:47 * Ali is uncute so must be black mana

01:47 <Schism> I also saw that I got 100% on my last two evaluations, and between that and my adherence to scheduling (which, today, has kinda slid, but it's not my fault) I'm on the short list for getting the best shift bids and a quick push towards tier 2.

01:53 <Dranae> So Titanfall 2 is free for PS4 Plus

01:56 <Dranae> I have one question

01:56 <Dranae> The Mozambique is not even remotely as good in Apex Legends... why?

01:57 <ADragonDreaming> reasons?

01:57 <Dranae> It is bar none the worst Legends weapon

01:57 <Dranae> In Titanfall 2?

01:57 <ADragonDreaming> ...the games are connected?

01:57 <Dranae> Basically a Golden Gun

01:58 <Dranae> yes?

01:59 <ADragonDreaming> I haven't played either, so.

02:02 <Dranae> Legends is good

10:31 <Schism> Leftover chili gets better as it ages, until it doesn't.

10:32 * ConfusionRift would really like some chili, but pfffttttt. No way to get some at the moment.

10:34 <Schism> This was homemade.  o3o  And will be meals for another few days.

10:36 <ConfusionRift> Can't cook for beans. (shrugs)

10:37 <ConfusionRift> Well, now there's a Touhou racing game. (sighs)

10:37 <Schism> Eh.  You don't need to cook much.  Brown the ground beef and add a bit of cumin, garlic and another spice or two, fry up the onions and peppers, add a bunch of spiced tomatoes, a can of mushrooms, and however much actual spice you want, and dump it all in a slow cooker for 8 hours.

10:38 <Schism> Oh, and add the can of beans before cooking of course.

10:44 <ConfusionRift> I love it when Steam suggests me a game, I look at it, and it looks really good... and it ends up being an RTS.

10:48 <ConfusionRift> As I said, can't cook much. Also, it's a bit late to be messing around with chili. If I decide to make something like it, due to the mess of people living here, I'll have to make enough for like 10 others.

10:52 <Schism> That is how chili usually works anyway, but aye.

10:55 <Schism> One does not make 'a little bit of chili'.

10:55 <Schism> Ah well, perhaps another day.

18:06 <lunanightwind> Or just panicing while waiting to see

18:07 <lunanightwind> Hi ali

18:07 * Ali flops over lunanightwind

18:07 * lunanightwind giggles

18:08 * PrincessRainbows barks and licks Ali

18:08 <Cepheid> lunanightwind:  Panicking because I'm not sure of the response.

18:08 <Cepheid> I've never really "revealed" my projects to relevant communities.

18:08 <lunanightwind> Luna got a me day today, i ordered delivery from Mr Macs and no clue what else to do

18:10 <Ali> But you're luna

18:10 <lunanightwind> Hey dont panic every good project starts somewhere, you are confident in your skill from what ive seen, do you think the first release of POKEsav had people excited? Go out there and do the work you do, there will be people who appreciate it even if it is a slow start

18:10 <lunanightwind> Yep im luna and I dont have to do housework or chores today

18:11 <lunanightwind> So i ordered delivery from mr macs

18:11 <lunanightwind> A nice buffalo bacon mac and cheese

18:11 <lunanightwind> Then...i dunno what ill do

18:12 * Ali read that wrong, flops about

18:12 <lunanightwind> Lol

18:12 <lunanightwind> Might just pop up a stream till the game awards

18:13 <lunanightwind> Cuz im watching the game awards to see who joker stole his smash invite from last year

18:13 <Ali> And games that didn't deserve it win

18:13 <Ali> I mean HOW did smash Ult end up on GotY

18:14 <lunanightwind> It was a great game

18:14 <Ali> Its a good game, but not GotY

18:14 <lunanightwind> Like 2018 didnt have many strong contenders

18:14 <lunanightwind> Either way i dont watch the game awards for the awards

18:15 <lunanightwind> More so than movies the game awards are all based on advertising budget

18:15 <lunanightwind> There are supposed to be between 10 and 12 game reveals tonight PLUS the final smash character announcement for fighter pass 1

18:15 <Ali> But Breath of the Wild won

18:16 <Ali> I mean its a great game but the open ended part kinda ruined it for me.

18:16 <lunanightwind> BOTW is a split community, i honestly think its the best zelda game

18:16 <lunanightwind> This coming from someone who loves OoT

18:17 <lunanightwind> Also remember that windwaker was hated for a long time then suddenly people loved it

18:18 <lunanightwind> I dont put any faith in the actual awards for gaming

18:18 <lunanightwind> Like 6 publications can have 6 different GOtYs

18:18 <Ali> Heck gaming to me has been on a major downslide

18:18 <lunanightwind> Awards are opinions

18:18 <Ali> At least Pokemon Sword And Shield was better than Sun and Moon

18:18 <lunanightwind> Alot of the community would disagree

18:19 <Ali> Of course they would

18:19 <Ali> Overprivliged brats

18:19 * Ali grumps about

18:19 <lunanightwind> Lol

18:19 <Cepheid> Result seems to be positive.  No response, but people seem to be upvoting it, rather than downvoting it.

18:20 <lunanightwind> A large amount of the community blasts sword and shield because of missing mons and the complete elimination of megas and z moves

18:21 <Ali> At least they didn't have to wait a damn year for the game

18:21 <lunanightwind> Also the 36 on cartrage but not accessable mons like bulbasaur

18:21 <Ali> They obviously never played Black and White

18:21 <Ali> They would've LOVED that one

18:21 <Ali> HEY GUYZ NO OLD MONS

18:22 <lunanightwind> A year isnt super long, i waited 10 years for duke forever, my husband has been waiting at least 2 years for the last of us 2

18:22 <Ali> And you have to wait a year before you can play it

18:22 <lunanightwind> Black and white had the mons on the cart though

18:22 <Ali> lunanightwind, this is delayed release, not wait for a sequal

18:22 <Ali> I mean hell, it took what, 15 years for Starcraft 2

18:22 <lunanightwind> There are like 500 mon not even in the games data

18:22 <lunanightwind> Thats where the issue lies

18:23 <Ali> Still doesn't matter

18:23 <Ali> Wait a year for the sequals, everything will be fixed

18:23 <lunanightwind> It does to a large swath of the community

18:23 <Ali> Cause they're whiners

18:24 <Ali> They just want to use their OP Garchomp or Salamence or god those awful Ultra Beasts

18:24 <lunanightwind> When you are paying 60 bucks for a game you are allowed to whine about it

18:24 <lunanightwind> I honestly want my blastoise

18:25 <Ali> I wanted a new eeveelution but we didn't get that

18:25 <lunanightwind> Hell i wanted my meltan, a pokemon that was made just before lets go, no programing for him in the game

18:26 <Ali> That one was a bit of a surprise

18:26 <Ali> But meh, I enjoyed S&S for what it was

18:26 <Ali> So much better than Sun and Moon that's for sure

18:27 <lunanightwind> I would venture to say that pokemon was one of the most disappointing games of the year not for being a bad game but for the blanket that was cast over what should be the main part of the game, the monsters

18:28 <lunanightwind> And sitting there condoning that action only gives game freak permission to do that with future games, which they have said they will do if S&S sells well

18:29 <lunanightwind> So you may never be able to catch em all ever again

18:30 <Ali> I'll will remind people

18:30 <Ali> Of how long it took them to get all the Gen 2 pokemon in in Gen 4

18:30 <Ali> But nope, nobody looks back at things anymore

18:30 <Ali> Just gripe about what's wrong with modern game

18:31 <lunanightwind> Every game in gen 4 had every mon programmed into the games though, they may not have been normally catchable but they were all in

18:35 <lunanightwind> If you try to edit S&S save file to get any of the missing mon with the exception of 36 that are labeled as event pokemon it will give you a normal type pikachu with no stats and if you program any moves that were removed from the game it will just tell you to go to the guy who makes you forget moves

18:35 <lunanightwind> In gen 4 you could hack those pokemon into the game

18:35 <lunanightwind> Thats where the issue is

18:37 * Ali is gonna no comment from this

18:42 <Lunanightwind_> I feel like death stranding should win GOTY it probably wont cuz Kojima usually doesbt show up to the game awards

18:42 <LunaticHell> Just now I realized why this page isn't bookmarked, anymore.

18:43 <LunaticHell> It's kinda what you have to do when you buy a new PC.

18:44 <Lunanightwind_> What web browser do you use

18:44 <Lunanightwind_> Chrome will automatically transfer all bookmarks between devices if you have sync on

18:45 <Lunanightwind_> Also new pc is always fun what kinda specs you got

18:45 <LunaticHell> lemme just

18:47 <LunaticHell> First time using an amd processor

18:47 <Lunanightwind_> Ahhh

18:48 <Lunanightwind_> Yeah amd has  solid blocks right now, especially their 7nm chips

18:48 <LunaticHell> To me the most important thing was to get something that fares well without having to sell both kidneysd

18:49 <LunaticHell> It's an eight core amd 8300, also 16 GB ram, should be ddr3

18:50 <Lunanightwind_> Nice

18:50 <LunaticHell> For graphic it's the GeForce GTX1050 Ti, I just can't not do GeForce.

18:51 <Lunanightwind_> 1050 ti isnt a bad card

18:51 <Lunanightwind_> Guessing you are pulling 1080 on high?

18:52 <LunaticHell> Here's the joke

18:52 <LunaticHell> I've yet to play games that actually need all of that

18:52 <Lunanightwind_> My specs are gonna be different between today and christmas

18:52 <LunaticHell> Neat.

18:53 <Lunanightwind_> Today i have an i7 8700k, 16 gb ram, geforce RTX2070 and 5 tb of hard drive space

18:53 <LunaticHell> Now that I can play most of the new games, I'm holding back.

18:53 <Lunanightwind_> Christmas day i will have an i9 9900k 32 gb ram rtx 2070 and 10tb hard drive

18:54 <Lunanightwind_> I needed that 2 core upgrade lol

18:54 <LunaticHell> Sounds hardcore.

18:55 * Ali sits with a shitty ass pc over 10 years old

18:55 <Lunanightwind_> Its a nice setup ill say that much, trying to be set for next console gen

18:55 * LunaticHell offers hugs

18:56 <LunaticHell> I'm thinking about Atelier Ryza. o. o

18:57 <LunaticHell> Always loved the Atelier series, anime included.

18:58 <Lunanightwind_> Never heard of it honestly

18:58 <LunaticHell> You're honestly missing out.

18:58 <Lunanightwind_> I backed away from anime games hard core a few years back

18:58 <LunaticHell> tl;dr our heroines are alchemists

18:59 <Lunanightwind_> Like i think the only recent game that has anything anime related is persona 5

18:59 <LunaticHell> Why is that?

18:59 <LunaticHell> Ah yes that.

18:59 <Lunanightwind_> Eh just kinda grew out of anime

19:00 <Lunanightwind_> Then after getting married i never saw a reason to look back

19:00 <LunaticHell> When?

19:00 <LunaticHell> Sorry, I'm a bit curious.

19:01 <Lunanightwind_> Diped away from anime around my 30th birthday

19:01 <Lunanightwind_> Like there are still a couple ill watch but not much

19:02 <Lunanightwind_> Oh wait i bought jump force a few weeks back just cuz fighting game thats anime

19:02 <LunaticHell> Considering that it takes it's name from the first ever anime publication in history...

19:03 <LunaticHell> ...I'd say yeah, that's pretty much anime.

19:03 <Lunanightwind_> I forgot i bought it was just scrolling through steam

19:03 <LunaticHell> When you said "grew out of" it sounds like you are treating it as something to do with age.

19:03 <Lunanightwind_> Just wanted to play a fighting game with DIO cuz i used to love jojo

19:04 <LunaticHell> Ah yes, I can very much understand that.

19:04 <Lunanightwind_> I kinda just stopped watching it, i turned 30 and was like "well what can i realistically do with my life"

19:05 <Lunanightwind_> So it kinda was an age thing

19:05 <LunaticHell> There is a small mistake in that thinking.

19:05 <Lunanightwind_> Eh its not something im missing in my life

19:06 <LunaticHell> Fair enough.

19:06 <LunaticHell> But you do realize that we're talking entertainment, so the "what can I do with my life" does not really apply, it is more of "what do I want to do to be entertained?"

19:08 <Lunanightwind_> Thats not necessarily true when you are spending multiple hours a day watching anime

19:09 <LunaticHell> Which holds true for every single hobby.

19:09 <LunaticHell> I can spend multible hours a day reading books.

19:10 <LunaticHell> The important bit is what you wanted out of it going into it and if you got it.

19:11 <Lunanightwind_> Well i transitioned to a girl, i got married, and im super happy so yeah i got what i wanted plus some

19:11 <LunaticHell> And the same goes for entertainment.

19:13 <LunaticHell> Do the things that make you happy.

19:13 <LunaticHell> Even if you are too old for them.

19:13 <LunaticHell> brb

19:13 <Lunanightwind_> Idk i guess at this point i just associate it with solitude and being displeased with my life

22:58 <LibrarianofHope> weird

22:59 <LibrarianofHope> more unusal for a japanese studio.

22:59 <Jackie> They just released Fragtime :/

22:59 <Jackie> And all of a sudden, poof

22:59 <LibrarianofHope> it would be a weird scam

23:00 <Jackie> They employees are furious

23:00 <Jackie> *The

23:00 <LibrarianofHope> reasonably so

23:01 <LibrarianofHope> the only logical thing i could come up with is they just took everything and vanished, cause this is carrer suicide especialy in japan

23:02 <Jackie> They deleted their Twitter and their website was gone (it came back up somehow)

23:04 <LibrarianofHope> site works

23:04 <LibrarianofHope> except contact
