06:57 <Haru> Kinda regret using an iPhone/iPad

06:57 <Haru> Because...you need to buy a new one if you want the latest apps

07:00 <ConfusionRift> The best part? Later updates for the previous hardware will eventually just reduce performance? Why? Because they already admitted they want to force the user to switch to their newest.

07:01 <ConfusionRift> Huzzah!

07:02 <Haru> ConfusionRift, it really sucks if you have an iPad

07:02 <Haru> Because I draw a lot

07:02 <Haru> Kinda makes me want an android tab

07:03 * ConfusionRift nods.

07:05 <Haru> "I payed $500 for this?"

07:05 <ConfusionRift> Yep.

07:05 <ConfusionRift> That's Apple in a nutshell.

07:35 <Haru> I still like game preservation

07:36 <ConfusionRift> I do too, especially prototypes and lost versions of games.

07:37 <ConfusionRift> Towards the end of last year, it was prime time for classic Sonic games, since they found some very interesting prototypes and lost DLC.

07:38 <Haru> I just don't like Nintendo's awful S/NES minis

07:38 <Haru> Didn't include some RPG games

07:39 <ConfusionRift> I don't mind them... but I don't really think they were worth the crazy prices they got into afterwards.

07:39 <ConfusionRift> Like which?

07:40 <Haru> Oh the underrated ones like FF6 and FF4

07:41 <Haru> I think it's a waste of money if none of your favorite games are there

07:41 <Haru> I just think emulators does the job

07:42 <ConfusionRift> But that's nooo good! (hides his Raspberry Pi)

07:43 <Haru> The downsides of being a console player

07:43 <Haru> While in PC, you can always play old games

07:44 <ConfusionRift> Console... player...? Pffftttt! That's what the RPi is for... I mean, that's for projects, yeah. (coughs)

07:45 <ConfusionRift> Also, not exactly always. There are some console emulations that are still being batted on, since to this day, they are still difficult to work with.

07:46 <Haru> At least Nintendo should stay away from SNES

07:47 <Haru> Because they're like 20+ year old discontinued products

07:47 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately, they released a new SNES service for the Switch, so... yeah.

07:47 <Haru> I mean the roms, they're old as hell

07:48 <Haru> SNES service doesn't even include a lot of SNES games

07:48 <ConfusionRift> Doesn't matter. If they still support the title, they can still attack.

07:48 <ConfusionRift> As much as it bothers me. (shrugs)

07:48 <Haru> There should be a free SNES thing

07:49 <Haru> Like give access to discontinued games

07:50 <Haru> Japanese people are sometimes annoying if that's what they do...

07:51 <ConfusionRift> Eeerm... it's not just them, you know.

07:51 <ConfusionRift> id Software was doing the same with their older games, since they started re-releasing them.

07:52 <Haru> it's okay if it's not DRM

07:52 <ConfusionRift> Not sure if 3D Realms falls under the same name, but those games have also being removed in some places.

07:53 <Haru> I don't like companies becoming EA lol

07:54 <ConfusionRift> Wait wait wait. No. Nah. Nnhnnn. EA is on a league of its own. No one's gonna be what EA is any time soon.

07:55 <Haru> Because microtransactions

07:55 <Haru> I stopped relying on EA after Sims 3

07:56 <Haru> When they trashed Sims 4 with very little gameplay because everything else is a "pack"

07:56 * ConfusionRift looks at Bethesda. "...actually... i think I should take that back."

07:57 <ConfusionRift> For me, they trashed NFS with Payback.

07:58 <ConfusionRift> NFS Heat still had some problems, though I find it more playable... to an extent.

07:59 <Haru> It's ridiculous to have a racing game to have some unfairness

07:59 <Haru> EA will do anything to make a simple game have microtransactions

08:00 <ConfusionRift> Payback was just easy, except for ONE race. Alas, the story they were trying to put out was bad, and some things got annoying and pointless.

08:01 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, use real money to cut the grind and buy part packs.

08:01 <Haru> If you like what EA is doing, then I think you have a problem there...

08:02 <Haru> EA has a lot of money, and still asks for more, like a thousand dollars more, while other companies rely on DLCs or no DLCs at all...

08:03 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-8q0glj.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

08:03 <Haru> And those companies still make a lot of money without microtransactions

08:03 <ConfusionRift> Yarp.

08:04 <ConfusionRift> Because they put out a good finished product, rather than a cut-off one that's either incomplete, grindy, pay-to-win, or all the above.

08:08 <Haru> Pay to win becomes unfair if it's multiplayer

08:09 <ConfusionRift> That's what I hate about those deluxe packs and such for multiplayer games.

08:09 <ConfusionRift> They tend to do that.

08:10 <ConfusionRift> Cosmetic stuff? That's fine. Maybe something that gives you a very light boost? Sure. Getting higher rank stuff early? No.

08:11 <ConfusionRift> Well, competitive multiplayer. Otherwise, I don't think it affects much.

08:12 <Haru> Why does Beastars = Zootopia?

08:12 <ConfusionRift> ...heh?

08:13 <Haru> It's only that Legosi's the main

08:24 <ConfusionRift> Time to get some teeeaaaa.

09:31 <Cepheid> Morning.

09:33 * Cepheid throws ConfusionRift at the nearest Xeno'jiva. He stands at a distance and plays the world's largest fiddle.

09:34 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;

09:35 <ConfusionRift> Finishing up MHW?

09:36 <Cepheid> Nah.  I already murdered that f'er several times now.  Got a full set of his gear.  Though I do regret not finishing up the extra quests before the PC release of Iceborne today.

09:37 <Cepheid> Was supposed to get to it over December.  But my meds had other plans.

09:40 <ConfusionRift> Well, someone went through my wishlist... and found La Mulana 2 in there... yeah...

09:41 <Cepheid> Killed Xeno so many times in fact, I had over 20 gems.

09:42 <Cepheid> There was a period where Xeno showed up three times in a row for six straight battles.

09:42 <ConfusionRift> Haven't played MHW in a while, especially since the others here just sorta stopped playing it, and some other games took the queue list.

09:43 <Cepheid> Heh.  As for La-Mulana 2...  It isn't bad, but it doesn't quite live up to the first game either.  I liked what I played though.  Never finished it, alas.

09:45 <Cepheid> Really should get back to that La-Mulana game I was making.

09:46 <ConfusionRift> I don't think it is. It's just I have been sick, so playing that wasn't exactly a good idea. Also, some parts and traps felt like "we put these since they were annoying on the first game", and others were not as hard simply because... well, they were expected. :P

09:48 <Cepheid> The devs did reuse traps yeah.  But it picks up and new things appear later.  Especially in [REDACTED] which has one hell of a pain-in-the-ass puzzle.

09:49 <ConfusionRift> I do agree the music is not the same. As to it not being as good? I just feel like they were going with a different kind of vibe. So I feel both are separate... I still like the first one more.

09:49 <ConfusionRift> ooooohhh goodie.

09:50 <Cepheid> The music is primarily what made it feel "not as good" actually.  Though there *is* one track I

09:50 <Cepheid> I like*

09:51 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/rXe-Dc5UFk0 This song, along with one enemy in the relevant area, works well.

09:51 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

09:51 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about La-Mulana 2 OST extended - Dance of Midgard (Immortal Battlefield theme)

09:53 * Cepheid grabs laptop. Won't be sleeping anytime soon.

09:55 * Cepheid should spend some time storyline writing for said LM-inspired game.

09:56 <Cepheid> I have decided on one facet.

09:56 <ConfusionRift> Did like that one. And the one at the Yggdrasil is not a bad starter to the adventure. I do admit, the remix of the hub and the old ruins aren't as good I think, at least compared to the original.

09:56 <Cepheid> Oh gods, I was upset at the song they used for the opening hub.  It... just didn't have the right feel to it.

09:57 <Cepheid> It was missing something.  It seemed an insult to Lameza and his daughter.

09:57 <Cepheid> *A warning pops up* *Curry Stank*

09:58 <ConfusionRift> Probably because they also used the sound bits they use for the shell horn when you make a mistake. :P

09:58 <Cepheid> As for the facet of my story, every game is going to take place in the same "world" so to speak.  I've decided upon a multiverse, but with an unusual structure.

09:59 <ConfusionRift> What the...?

09:59 <Cepheid> Hmm?

10:00 <ConfusionRift> let me check something.

10:01 <Cepheid> Right.  Meanwhile, a common depiction of multiverses is multiple universes, side-by-side in a row.  I prefer something different.

10:02 <Cepheid> Each universe is contained in a bubble, a bubble which itself is floating inside a larger bubble, with the space between bubbles being a separate dimension altogether.  Things live within this space, which is where the main antagonists of many of my games will come from.

10:04 * Cepheid has a preference for extradimensional threats. Can do fun things with them, like having one appearance in their home dimension between universes, and then having a completely different appearance within each universe, because different rules of physics.

10:05 * ConfusionRift looks at Kingdom Hearts.

10:05 <Cepheid> Heh.

10:06 <Cepheid> Officially, each game will take place within one universe, and one universe only.  But the general true threat will be derived from the dimension between universes.

10:07 <ConfusionRift> Okay, I was checking something. For whatever reason, the music from the game itself and that from the OST sounded... different. Alas, it was because I play the game at a lower volume than when I'm listening to music.

10:07 <Cepheid> Ah.

10:08 <Cepheid> Though, the aforementioned threat, I'm debating one aspect of it.

10:08 <ConfusionRift> So the threat would resides somewhere in "the larger bubble"?

10:08 <Cepheid> I want to imply that it is beyond comprehension.  So I am debating the addition of UI screwery when battling it.

10:08 <Cepheid> Yeah.

10:09 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.

10:10 <Cepheid> The current major threat I have in mind is that of a macrophage-like entity.  It's mindless.  Envelops entire universes, then slowly drains them of all energy, effectively accelerating the heat death of the universe.  When another universe drifts by, it moves onto that one.  Repeat ad-infinitum.

10:14 <RazorSharpFang> That would work in a universe without gravity.

10:14 <RazorSharpFang> With gravity, it'll have trouble leaving planets, if planets exist in this universe (to be fair, they presumably didn't always)

10:14 <ConfusionRift> Hmm. Maybe having that effect, but have it increase in intensity as one gradually gets closer to the entity, or as it dies out.

10:15 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

10:15 <RazorSharpFang> Anyway, I need to go to the doctor to see why my heart's not pumping well.

10:15 <RazorSharpFang> Be back later

10:16 <ConfusionRift> See ya laters.

10:16 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmOb9lVF0Ng *Listens and codes*

10:16 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

10:16 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Rabi-Ribi OST - Copied Bosses [Extended]

10:16 <Cepheid> ... Hells alive, that can't be right.

10:16 <ConfusionRift> It isn't. That could really be serious.

10:17 <Cepheid> I just extracted... 128 files from this FBIN file.

10:17 <ConfusionRift> Oh...

10:17 <Cepheid> .. Apparently there is.

10:18 <Cepheid> ... Oh, right.  Map is made up of more than just the buttons.

10:18 <Cepheid> Bah.  Atlus, how do you know what format these files are in?  How do you name them, in fact?

10:20 <Cepheid> Right, I need a custom tool for this.

10:20 <Cepheid> 128 files is a lot to look through.

10:20 <Cepheid> It'd be easier if I could just open the file, then seek through the files, and render them as 2D images to see what I'm looking at.

10:21 * ConfusionRift nods.

10:22 <Cepheid> I wonder how long it'll be before the next game from GemaYue is released.

10:22 * Cepheid checks his Twitter to see the latest updates.

10:24 <Cepheid> He's apparently going to use more portraits this time around, to invoke motion and such.

10:25 <Cepheid> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ENNSZhkU0AAQ47W?format=jpg&name=900x900

10:25 <Cepheid> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EMVF-1OUwAUznSk?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 An early version of the Rabi-Ribi map.

10:26 <ConfusionRift> ...

10:27 * ConfusionRift doesn't like what he sees on the right.

10:28 <ConfusionRift> I can kinda see where the other maps go to, but not that one.

10:29 <Cepheid> Might be the UPRPRC Castle.  Apparently the UPRPRC used to be much, much larger, based on what the tweet says.

10:30 <Cepheid> Gods, I really want to work on one of my many sidescroller games, now.  But I lack a proper, complete document on what I want for them.  Perhaps while I go around to doctor's offices today, I should bring a notebook with me and write down some ideas.

10:30 <ConfusionRift> Not a bad idea.

10:31 <ConfusionRift> Was also thinking it could had been a really extended Warp Destination.

10:31 <ConfusionRift> Considering the long stretch before the larger map.

10:31 <Cepheid> Now that you mention it, yeah.

10:33 <ConfusionRift> Then again, the maps apparently were planned to be much larger in general.

10:34 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

10:37 <ConfusionRift> Hmm. Maybe it's just me, or the Library wasn't even planned?

10:38 <Cepheid> It wasn't, actually.  The whole post-game was a last-minute thing, if I recall correctly.

10:41 * ConfusionRift notices some color coincidences, shakes his head, and nopes out of that idea.

10:42 <Cepheid> All I know, is that their next game's being made in Unity.

10:42 <ConfusionRift> A lot of folks are moving to Unity, it seems.

10:42 <Cepheid> And it gave some trouble at the start.  I'm actually debating using unity for my own games at this point.  Something to be said for optimized, well-implemented, low-dependency engines, but it's a lot of work.

10:43 <Cepheid> Even getting a tile renderer for my LM-inspired game running took a month.

10:43 <Cepheid> And that's just for the scenery.

11:11 <Cepheid> As for my problem, Atlus doesn't seem too keen on specifying image sizes.  I have to guess what the sizes are.

11:11 <ConfusionRift> It sounds like something they would do. :P

11:14 <Cepheid> Hum, I know the images have to be powers-of-two in size.

11:14 <Cepheid> So 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc.

11:15 <Cepheid> That being said, the data might also have to be expanded.

11:16 <Cepheid> 16 palettes, 32 bytes in size.  NDS used 5-5-5 color for storage, 6-6-6 for rendering.  Thus, 5-5-5 storage is... 2 bytes.  So 16 colours per palette.

11:17 <Cepheid> That'd mean the images are 4 bits per pixel.

11:19 <Cepheid> Smallest image is 32 bytes.  So that's...  64 pixels.  1:64, 2:32, 4:16, 8:8, 16:4, 32:2, or 64:1 dimensions.  8x8 seems probable.

11:23 <Cepheid> You know what I'd love to see in MHWorld at some point?  One of the Magalas.

11:25 <ConfusionRift> ...like... Gore Magala?

11:26 <Cepheid> Yes.

11:26 <Cepheid> Gore, Shagaru, Chaotic Gore..

11:27 <Cepheid> I know we got Zinogre, these days.

11:27 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about MHW ICEBORNE Zinogre Battle Theme 閃烈なる蒼光\/ジンオウガ BGM High Quality

11:28 <Cepheid> Hum.  Jinouga.

11:29 <Cepheid> Not... too sure I like the idea of using a new, remixed theme.

11:33 <RazorSharpFang> I am back from the Doctors

11:33 <RazorSharpFang> I do not have Celiac disease.

11:33 <Cepheid> Welcome back.  And good to know.

11:33 <RazorSharpFang> I do have a slow-heart though.

11:34 <Lumindia> I'm watching AGDQ

11:34 <Lumindia> What is happening?

11:34 <Lumindia> ;-;

11:34 <ConfusionRift> What's going on?! :P

11:36 <RazorSharpFang> Turns out 45 BPM is too slow for a heart-rate.

11:36 <Lumindia> https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

11:36 <Lumindia> we're in the midst of the awful games done quick block

11:36 <Lumindia> I'm currently having a fever dream

11:36 <Lumindia> send help

11:37 <ConfusionRift> Oh, wonderful. One of these games. :P

11:38 <Lumindia> you can get this game on steam for two dollars

11:38 <Lumindia> :D

11:38 <ConfusionRift> $2?! Do you think I'm made of cash?! :P

11:39 <Lumindia> ConfusionRift: Send help I think I'm having a fever dream

11:39 * ConfusionRift is having it too.

11:40 <ConfusionRift> Okay, that was hilarious. :P

11:41 <ConfusionRift> "Yes, you did it. Well done." [Credits] ... [Click to start!]

11:45 * ConfusionRift pukes oil.

11:45 <Cepheid> Today I finally get to go see a diabetic doctor.  After 3 years of being diagnosed with pre-diabetes or diabetes, I'm not sure which.

11:46 <ConfusionRift> So you're going to a doctor who specializes with diabetes, or a doctor who has diabetes?

11:47 * ConfusionRift retracts from the joke. There's a chance it could be both.

11:48 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Well, there was that mess with the mass infection and the medications. Not surprised it took them this long to actually think about acting on something that was there.

11:48 <ConfusionRift> Lumindia: That game... was released last year...

11:49 <Lumindia> yes it was

11:50 <ConfusionRift> You know what? Not gonna bat on it that hard. They went ahead and put that out there. It has almost no reviews, and no rating. And truth be told... (zooms in) ...I have seen a whole lot worse.

11:52 <ConfusionRift> Some of them being official games by major companies.

11:59 * Schism claps at Castle of Dragon, while prepping for work.

11:59 <Cepheid> The former.

12:04 <Cepheid> ... If these are meant to be images, they're compressed.

12:22 <Cepheid> I'm too tired for this *YAY*.  Next few days are gonna be non-work days.

12:22 <Cepheid> My body won't sleep right now, no matter what I do.  It sleeps for at most 4-5 hours, then I'm awake.

12:23 <ConfusionRift> 0_0

12:23 <ConfusionRift> That sucks.

12:23 <Cepheid> My sleep cycle constantly revolves around and around and around.

12:23 <Cepheid> It's not unexpected.

12:24 <Cepheid> 'Course, maybe a shower would help.

12:25 * Cepheid checks to see if he can get LM and LM2 running on his laptop.

12:26 <ConfusionRift> They should. Then again, unsure of the kind of laptop. They don't seem very resource intensive.

12:26 <Cepheid> #1, definitely.  #2 is giving me trouble because it doesn't have a native Linux port.

13:02 <Cepheid> As for using Unity these days, I'm currently hesitant to do so.

13:06 <Cepheid> My concern's mostly in the fact that Unity's editors, last I checked, don't exist for Linux.

13:07 <Cepheid> Though it seems that may have changed?

13:08 <Cepheid> That said, it'd certainly accelerate my work for developing a game by cutting out a majority of the engine development middleman.

13:44 <ConfusionRift> Blarg, sleep time. Laters, and have a good one!

13:44 <Cepheid> Unity works on my laptop under Linux, but..

13:44 <Cepheid> With some issues.

13:45 <ConfusionRift> Linux is tricky, at least with software as it is. (shrugs)
