00:21 * Cepheid finally finishes downloading MHWorld. Alas, is now too tired to play.

00:26 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Discussion: Which 3 Ponies Would You Want On Your Crew for the Zombie Apocalypse?!  [ http://tinyurl.com/tbt3v8v ]

00:30 * Schism returns, and offers Cepheid some tremendously unhealthy queso dip with jalapeno and lime tortilla chips.

00:32 * Schism wonders if MHW is better played with controller, or with KBM.

00:34 <Cepheid> I find KBM better these days.

00:34 <Cepheid> Especially a 5-button mouse.

00:36 <Cepheid> And now with the Clutch Claw and Slinger changes from Iceborne, it is even more useful to use a mouse

00:37 <Cepheid> Slinger can be used with your weapon out, now.

00:37 <Schism> Well, I don't have Iceborne, but that's okay.

00:38 <Cepheid> Heh.  Either way.

00:38 * Schism looks at all the patch notes.

00:39 <Cepheid> Bowguns and Bows are much easier to use.  Also...

00:39 <Cepheid> Get started on patching now.

00:39 <Cepheid> Because of optimizations, you have to redownload the entire game.

00:40 <Schism> You may be amused to note that I've already done so.

00:40 <Cepheid> Heh.

00:41 <Schism> Kestodon Kerfuffle.  This time, I shan't be distracted by the darned Anjanath.

00:41 <Cepheid> I couldn't start the update until 2:30 or so myself.  Was out seeing diabetic doctor from 11 AM.

00:43 *** Quits: ChaosMageX-HTPC (CMXHTPC@Pony-nc32n2.tx.comcast.net) (Quit: )

00:45 <Cepheid> Optimizations are nice.  Running Highest at 1440p, 45+ FPS.  Haven't toyed with 2160p, but I can probably manage it with some tweaking.

01:32 <Schism> Perhaps so.  o3o

01:32 <Schism> I'm working for the next few days, though.

01:36 * Schism spends a bunch of zeny on upgrading the slicers to a basic level.

01:38 * Filly_Nightmares squidh

01:38 * Schism squeaks at Filly_Nightmares.

01:39 * Filly_Nightmares gnaws on Schism floof

01:41 * PinkieShy offers Filly_Nightmares a soda that will make her hair very very fluffy

01:41 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs on soda!

01:42 * PinkieShy watches as Filly's hair instantly becomes fluffy the more she drinks

01:44 * Filly_Nightmares berps and floofs up at PinkieShy!

06:15 <Cepheid> Ideally you'll want fire resistant gear. *goes back to sleep after washroom visit.*

06:18 <Schism> Probly.  That'll be a bit tricky for the moment, but some bone gear might do it.

06:23 <Schism> Anjanath would probably also require some stronger weaponry, so for now I'm going to hold off.  And sleep.  @_@

09:06 <Cepheid> https://youtu.be/mRSpaLObDL4

09:08 * PrincessRainbows sits on ConfusionRift and giggles. Go horsey go go go!

09:08 * ConfusionRift runs around. :P

09:09 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Aaah, the good ol' hunting ELECTRIC GUITAR! :P

09:10 <ConfusionRift> Never really retried hunting horns after MHF2. I wonder how they have changed.

09:11 <Cepheid> I use 'em myself.

09:12 <Cepheid> Seriously.  I tried them out one day and went "Hmm.  Good mix between hammer and other useful traits."

09:14 <Cepheid> Huh.  I can read my IRC chat from this distance from my main monitor.

09:14 <ConfusionRift> It was like a lighter hammer, but still had the force of one. The status improvements were a plus on top. I remember taking one as a joke during one of the fight against Lao Shan Lung. Did some toot'ing and cut the fight in half. :P

09:15 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, time to see if I can pull off 4k@30 MHWorld with the new optimizations.

09:15 <Cepheid> And man, I need to clean this TV off.

09:16 <Cepheid> ... Yeah, gonna have to reduce some settings.  Game says it'll take 7GiB of VRAM, and I only got 6.  Granted, in the past I ran the game just fine with 6.3 VRAM usage.

09:17 <Cepheid> Also need to rest all my bindings.  With Iceborne for the PC, Capcom changed a bunch of input stuff around to make it easier to work with, but it forces a reset of all bindings.

09:18 <Cepheid> Hmm.  Definitely have to reduce settings.  At highest, getting 24 FPS in Astera.

09:18 <ConfusionRift> ...in Astera.

09:18 <ConfusionRift> Yep, time to lower that down juuuust a bit.

09:19 <Cepheid> Still pretty impressive.  It's at max settings, with the ultra-high texture pack.

09:20 <Cepheid> Reducing the quality to the next level below..

09:20 <Cepheid> About 33 FPS in Astera.

09:21 <Cepheid> Oh *YEAH*, those optimizations are nice.

09:21 <Cepheid> All the stuttering I used to get in the past is gone.

09:23 <Cepheid> Hmm.  Special Tobi hair.

09:26 <Cepheid> Yeah, I definitely also need to fix all the bindings.  Everything is different now.

09:26 <Cepheid> Performance is now Mouse Button 4, instead of CTRL.

09:27 *** Quits: coppertiger (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net) (Quit: Leaving)

09:29 * PrincessRainbows also sits on the floor and looks at ConfusionRift with innocent eyes. Uppy?

09:30 * ConfusionRift lifts PrincessRainbows, and pets their head.

09:30 <Cepheid> For some reason the default bindings bind C to both the slinger and the HH fourth note, which conflicts.

09:32 * PrincessRainbows squeals and claps her hooves. Whee!

09:37 <Cepheid> Hum, little rusty.  Anjy beat me up there.

09:39 <Cepheid> Really should have spent December playing MH to get all my gear up to speed, and also fight some Arch-Tempered monsters.

09:46 * ConfusionRift kinda backed out after the two pains showed up as priority hunts.

09:49 <Cepheid> Twin Tempered Bazel, yeah.

09:49 <Cepheid> I haven't gotten past that either.  Last I recall, I was working on armor for it.

09:49 * PrincessRainbows yawns and curls up under ConfusionRift to sleep more

09:50 <ConfusionRift> Eeerm... a different kind of pain. Let's say that some scars from MHFU are still there.

09:51 <ConfusionRift> But yeah. Did hear about that one. Not looking forward to it.

09:53 *** Filly_Nightmares is now known as Surreal_Nightmares

09:53 <Cepheid> Two pains as a priority hunt, hmm..

09:54 *** Joins: Changeling_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)

09:54 <Cepheid> Rathalos and Rathian, I presume.

09:54 *** Changeling_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

09:54 <ConfusionRift> Luna and Teo.

09:55 <Cepheid> Ah, Lunastra and Teostra.

09:55 <Cepheid> Right.

09:55 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the good news?  Don't need to do the Tempered Bazels to do Iceborne content.

09:55 <Cepheid> But yeah, all the changes for the PC version are... different.

09:56 <Cepheid> Capcom knows they messed up with the late release for it.

09:56 * ConfusionRift points at the PS4.

09:56 <Cepheid> So they accomodated by merging in changes from later patches ahead of time.

09:56 <Cepheid> Among other things.

09:56 <ConfusionRift> Hopefully there are some optimizations in there as well.

09:56 <Cepheid> Yeah, plenty of 'em.

09:56 <Cepheid> Downside?

09:56 <Cepheid> 80GiB download.

09:57 <Cepheid> Or 48 if you're not using the high-resolution texture pack.

09:57 <Cepheid> Basically, the optimizations involved data reorganization, among other things.  Thus, it necessitates a complete re-download of the game.

10:04 <Cepheid> Seems to have worked.  Like I said, no more stuttering that I used to see all the time unless I was playing on a 120+Hz monitor with no vsync.

10:05 <Cepheid> Hum, first Iceborne target is Legiana in the Forest.

10:10 * Cepheid noms hardboiled eggs.

10:11 * Cepheid gets mauled by a Rathian.

10:11 * Cepheid flails horn at the Rathian. "IT WAS A CHICKEN EGG YOU DINGUS!"

10:16 <Cepheid> But the Clutch Claw and the ability to use the Slinger with your weapon unsheathed is nice.

10:19 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zzLffJDv9Y I miss these.

10:20 <RazorSharpFang> I am back from work.

10:26 <ConfusionRift> Hallooo.

10:27 <Gladi> good beans

10:29 <Gladi> what are you beans up to

10:30 * Gladi licks Finwe

10:31 <ConfusionRift> Not doing much right now. Debating on playing something, but not so sure.

10:31 <Gladi> play chess

10:31 <Gladi> you're a robot you'll do great

10:31 <ConfusionRift> hEH. :p

10:31 <Ali> I played Classic Starcraft

10:31 <Ali> And Original Zerg sucks

10:31 <Gladi> why

10:32 <Ali> Stupid reavers destroy the crap out of everything the zerg can make

10:32 <Gladi> air units

10:32 <Ali> Dragoons

10:32 <Gladi> also burrowing or bypasssing them with speed

10:32 <Gladi> lings defeat them if they get close or ambush them with burrowing

10:32 <Ali> Gladi, only one bomb is needed to wipe out an entire brood of lings

10:33 <Gladi> i know

10:33 <Gladi> so have more and vary your units

10:33 <Ali> Even if you surround it, it will fire

10:33 <Ali> And blow your crap up

10:33 <Ali> I did

10:33 <Gladi> have some of them soak it up for hydras, space your units out

10:35 <Gladi> wel l can't win them all

10:35 <Gladi> i remember when i finally did the campaign last year

10:35 <Ali> Mutaballs just make terrible protection vs scouts or dragoons

10:35 <Gladi> i just spammed the lowest end units en mass for every mission

10:54 <Finwe> o3o

10:55 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony!

10:55 <Finwe> Miss Ali, Mr Cepheid.

10:55 * Finwe doffs his hat.

10:55 * Ali doffs over Filly_Nightmares

10:55 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.

10:55 * Ali misses her target

10:55 <Finwe> o7

10:55 <Finwe> :3

10:55 * Ali mango's Filly_Nightmares and doffs over Finwe properly this time.

10:55 * Finwe offers spectacles to Ali.

10:56 <Ali> Quite

10:56 <Cepheid> Capcom, for reasons unknown, decided to bind three different actions to the same key binding.  Thus, recital, fire slinger, and one other action are ALL ON ThE SAME KEY.

10:57 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7

10:58 <Ali> And this is why Capcom should just make more Megaman Games :3c

11:00 <Koopz> clever

11:00 <Koopz> less keys to keep track of

11:02 <Cepheid> Yes and no.  It causes one minor annoyance for me.  I can't bind "Fire Slinger" by itself to the primary mouse button.

11:02 <Finwe> Cepheid: And I guess that you don't always  want to use all three at the same time.

11:03 <Cepheid> That, and because I can't bind keys under certain conditions, that means if I bound Fire Slinger to primary mouse button, I lose the basic attack on primary mouse button.

11:03 <Koopz> middle mouse

11:04 <Cepheid> That's what I got it set to, yeah.

11:04 <Finwe> I usually have target lock and active scouting bound to same key, just because if I lock a target there's no harm in actively scouting it as well.

11:04 <Cepheid> Feels weird, though.

11:04 <Finwe> This in War Thunder.

11:04 <Koopz> try MB4 then? :D

11:04 <Cepheid> That's set to aiming the slinger. :P

11:04 <Cepheid> MB5 is set to the special attack.

11:05 <Koopz> guess you'll have to get a Razor Naga then

11:05 * ConfusionRift looks at the mouse, then looks at the controller.

11:05 <Finwe> A RazorSharpNaga?

11:05 * Finwe boops Cepheid with a RazorSharpFang.

11:05 <RazorSharpFang> Oh?

11:06 *** Quits: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone) (Connection closed)

11:06 <Cepheid> Amazingly, ConfusionRift, the game works very well with mouse and keyboard.  Despite this little oddity, Capcom's done a reasonably good job with key binding and mouse binding.

11:06 <Cepheid> Hell, it makes being a gunner or bow user much easier than you'd ever expect.  No claw required, either.

11:07 <ConfusionRift> Eeerm, "the claw" long left when they figure they could just attach shooter controls. :P

11:07 <Ali> I'll get you next time ConfusionRift!~

11:07 <ConfusionRift> Heeeeh? 0_0

11:08 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjOL9XYk07k JoCat's gone insane, ConfusionRift.

11:09 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: I  know, I was just making a silly reference to The Claw.

11:09 <Cepheid> Also, nice Inspector Gadget reference, Ali. :P

11:09 <ConfusionRift> Never forget. :P

11:10 <Ali> Its a classic~

11:10 * ConfusionRift certainly hasn't. Cramped finger.

11:10 <Finwe> Wowzers!

11:10 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAQNiUAF264 Heh.

11:11 <Cepheid> In any case, I do not like the aiming controls on consoles.  Too sluggish.  Mouse and keyboard, please. :P

11:11 * Cepheid still misses headshots, hits ConfusionRift in the head with a nut.

11:12 * ConfusionRift faints. 1/3 fails.

11:12 <Ali> Oh come on, 76 does that better

11:12 <Finwe> Go, go, Cepheid copter!

11:12 <Ali> You get a headshot, they take no damage

11:12 * Finwe watches some other gadget launch causing much ado.

11:14 <ConfusionRift> Guh, Tigrex. Well, it was expected.

11:17 <Cepheid> Yep.

11:17 <Cepheid> Rajang exists now, as well.

11:17 * ConfusionRift wonders.

11:17 <ConfusionRift> I wonder if they will decide to bring back one of the large big bads.

11:18 <Cepheid> Oh gods.

11:18 <Cepheid> Brachydios appears in Iceborne.

11:18 <ConfusionRift> ...

11:18 <Cepheid> I can't decide what's worse.  Bazelgeuse or Brachydios.

11:18 <Cepheid> Glavenus also appears, right.

11:19 <ConfusionRift> Bazelgeuse, hands down. It relentlessly chances you across the map. If it can land and run to where you are, it WILL.

13:58 <Cepheid> Also, it seems the maximum RAM this CPU supports is 16GiB.

13:59 <Cepheid> The basic gist of the problem is that 4GiB is welded onto the board, and in the place of one of the SODIMM slots.

14:03 <Cepheid> ... Though according to cpuinfo, the CPU has 39 address lines, which means it maxes out at... 64GiB?

15:51 <Cepheid> Bah.  Running low on power.  I have to find a new spot to do my work.  Hum, maybe I'll go get some food, then head on over to my usual haunt.

15:52 * LibrarianofHope doffs finwe

16:55 <Cepheid> When I get home, I'm gonna do a mix of engine design and study.  I want to figure out how to implement 120+Hz drawing with a deterministic system.

16:55 <Cepheid> In theory it shouldn't be that difficult, but there are things I have to consider.

16:57 <Cepheid> In cases where the refresh rate is higher than the game tick rate, interpolation is needed.  This implies knowing where something is going to be, along with where it is NOW.

22:07 <Starlight_Glimmer> Ali: I have never noticed you using that nickname 6_9

22:07 <Starlight_Glimmer> Probably me being silly

22:07 <Ali> I had Twi and Dashie for a long time as DC nicks

22:07 <Ali> Back when I thought of maybe using them

22:12 <LibrarianofHope> umm

22:12 <LibrarianofHope> if i took you name when ypu changed ali, ehat would happen?

22:12 <LibrarianofHope> just curios

22:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> Not much

22:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> If protection is enabled NickServ will change your nickname

22:12 <Ali> You wouldn't have the mod powers

22:13 <Ali> If my nick dropped it would lose all channel ops

22:13 <Starlight_Glimmer> The bacon one can tell you all about that :3

22:13 <LibrarianofHope> owo

22:13 *** LibrarianofHope is now known as TotallylegitAli

22:13 <TotallylegitAli> Owo

22:14 *** TotallylegitAli is now known as LibrarianofHope

22:15 <Starlight_Glimmer> You can do better than that

22:15 *** Starlight_Glimmer is now known as AIi

22:15 <PrincessRainbows> Seems legit

22:15 <AIi> Depending on your font this will look quite similar

22:15 <AIi> On mine it doesn't ;)

22:16 *** AIi is now known as Starlight_Glimmer

22:16 <PrincessRainbows> Still not as cute

22:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> If the network would support unicode things would get really interesting

22:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoglyph

22:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> This used to be quite the threat for domain names (e.g. google.com)

22:18 <Starlight_Glimmer> Browsers you display an address like apple.com, but in reality it was using characters that just look almost identical - homoglyph

22:19 * Starlight_Glimmer is a software developer and system administrator. They have a thing for security stuff.

22:19 <LibrarianofHope> glimglam is hacker

22:20 <LibrarianofHope> owo

22:20 * LibrarianofHope

22:20 <LibrarianofHope> yes

22:20 <LibrarianofHope> thats me

22:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> And apparently tired because my English isn't working properly anymore.

22:20 <LibrarianofHope> bleh

22:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> Which reminds me that I should check my client certificate at some point. No idea how long it is valid ...

22:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> 2020 seems like a year I might have picked for expiration :P

22:22 <PrincessRainbows> Just punycode it all. Why use 4 bytes when you can use 10

22:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> Because it works on legacy infrastructure

22:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's a neat hack

22:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> DNS is one of the oldest application protocols still around - with all of its issues

22:25 <Lumindia_> I'm sad now

22:25 <Nedemai> oh man I had a design teacher who I imagine pulls his hair out over homoglyphs... the guy was almost fanatic about typography

22:26 * Starlight_Glimmer picks up Lumindia_ for snuggles

22:26 <Lumindia_> I heard Neil Peart died three days ago

22:26 <Lumindia_> Anyone want to join me in the sad corner?

22:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> I never left

22:27 * Lumindia_ gets cookies and hot cocoa

22:27 * Lumindia_ passes it over to GlimGlam

22:28 <Nedemai> I wonder ... if they are doing anything at lakeside park for him...

22:29 <Starlight_Glimmer> Nedemai: It's by design. Since characters have different meanings in different typographic systems it's a logical thing to have them assigned to different unicode codepoints

22:29 <Nedemai> I live within driving distance of that park >.>

22:29 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's quite the mess when this doesn't happen actually

22:30 <Nedemai> Starlight_Glimmer, I completely understand that

22:30 <Nedemai> and I can see how it could be abused

22:30 <Starlight_Glimmer> For example we use the mathematical minus smybol instead of the dash you're supposed to use in written text

22:30 <Starlight_Glimmer> It quite hard to make a computer understand the difference

22:31 <Starlight_Glimmer> Computers suck at parsing context

22:31 * Starlight_Glimmer adds a huge marshmallow to Lumindia_ cup

22:31 <Starlight_Glimmer> 's*

22:32 <Starlight_Glimmer> Again: It's obvious I'm supposed to be in bed :3

22:32 <Starlight_Glimmer> Semi-related: I have weird issues when changing between languages

22:35 <Starlight_Glimmer> At some point many many years ago I started thinking in English whenever I use English (this is actually quite helpful), but it also means that when switching over from or to German weird things happen. To the point I write gibberish that's neither English nor German.

22:35 <Starlight_Glimmer> So talking to German speaking friends while chatting in English gets all sorts of things messed up :P

22:35 <Nedemai> Apparently the closest language to English is German, from what I've read... but as someone who doesn't know german, I certainly can't say anything else to that

22:36 <Starlight_Glimmer> Close? I don't know

22:37 <Starlight_Glimmer> Syntax and grammar is similar but - if you ask me - German is actually harder

22:37 <Hajnal> The closest language to English would be West Frisian.

22:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> I could see that

22:38 <Hajnal> Together, English and Frisian make up a branch of Germanic languages called the Anglo-Frisian languages.

22:39 <Hajnal> But even Dutch would be closer to English than German would be.

22:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> What strikes me as odd is that while syntax and grammar is close individual words are not

22:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> Looking at other closely related languages like French and Spanish the connection - at least to me - appears much closer.

22:41 <Starlight_Glimmer> That being said my French kinda sucks, so not the one to judge

22:41 <Hajnal> That's because a large proportion of words in English now were borrowed directly from Latin and Norman, which is like French.

22:42 <Starlight_Glimmer> But you have influence from both Latin and - to a lesser extent - French in German language

22:43 <Starlight_Glimmer> So you'd think they'd be closer together

22:43 <Hajnal> True, they influenced many languages, but it's nowhere near the same scale.

22:44 <Hajnal> To give you an idea of the scope, only around 30% of the original Germanic lexicon was preserved in some form.

22:45 <Hajnal> French and Latin make up around 60% of the modern lexicon.

22:47 <Hajnal> On top of that, some of the temaining Germanic words come from languages luke Old Norse, so and other words changed form, so they may not even be recognizable as cognates anymore.

23:23 <Nedemai> given the age of the community, and just the general flow of the discord chat... I could see cherry picking happening

23:23 <Jackie> They assume popular artists and their art skills

23:23 <Nedemai> I could draw something that would blow their minds, but there is no point

23:23 <Nedemai> cause they don't want to encourage me or give me notice

23:23 <Nedemai> so why would I

23:24 <Jackie> I doubt the community are adults

23:24 <Nedemai> RavenSun seems to like my stuff, I've talked with her

23:25 <Jackie> I wish EqD can change themselves

23:25 <Nedemai> and Jackie , if you have legit concerns, you can take it to their discord chat

23:25 <Nedemai> I cant promise how far youll get

23:25 <LibrarianofHope> ,eh

23:25 <LibrarianofHope> i mean meh

23:25 <Jackie> They sometimes do fake or biased news, Nedemai

23:25 <Nedemai> biased definitely

23:25 <Nedemai> Seth been acused of that many times

23:26 <Nedemai> anyhow, Im around... just I did promise my bro some fortnite tonight so

23:26 <Jackie> I think they're a little CNN

23:27 <Nedemai> Well, if you wanna help me... I could ressurect the art channel... but we should definitely call it something different

23:27 <Nedemai> but yea, Ill be around I go gotta go

23:27 <Ali> Isn't their Discord chat pure crap

23:27 <Nedemai> Ali, its kinda... impossible

23:27 <Nedemai> no one cares to talk with me

23:27 <Jackie> I'd resurrect the channel

23:27 <Ali> Hell its the same for me Nedemai

23:27 <Ali> About 95% of my chats are ignored

23:28 <Nedemai> I do get some response from the creators channel, but honestly its all a clique there

23:28 <Nedemai> and thats obvious

23:28 <Nedemai> but yea sorry
