00:24 <Lumindia> The sound from a musician on stage bounces off the auditorium walls to surrounde the audience. The sound from a pigeon does not do this. The reason is a coo sticks.

00:25 * Schism flops in from work. Blep!

00:25 <Schism> Puns like that tend to cause bad vibes, Lumindia.

00:25 <Lumindia> i dunno, it seems to resonate with some pretty well

00:25 <Lumindia> 'v'

00:26 <Schism> Yeah, but for everyone else, it's a sour note.

00:37 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Gameleon: Lauren Faust Reveals How Nightmare Moon Was Freed [ http://tinyurl.com/we37ju5 ]

00:52 <Schism> Hm, two screamer pods.  I'll take it.

00:53 <Schism> Beats the really crappy items I've gotten on daily logins for a while.

00:55 *** Ali|AFK is now known as Ali

00:56 * Schism makes a bunch of well-done steak.

00:57 * Ali ewws

00:57 <Ali> Its unedible at that point

00:58 <Schism> Well, normally I'd do medium rare, but for MHW well done steak is like jerky.  Provides more stamina for the weight.

00:58 * DashedRainbows brushies Ali, is horsey feeling better?

00:59 <Ali> Still a bit sore DashedRainbows

01:00 <DashedRainbows> :(

01:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Fanfiction Updates - January 25th  [ http://tinyurl.com/qsekl4t ]

01:07 <Schism> Whew.  Fishing get.

01:08 * Ali also bonks Schism belatedly for now reading the bad puns.

01:09 <Schism> Hm.  Next objective: kill a Kirin.  Well, I guess this'll unlock the next stage of the game, so okay then.

01:09 <Schism> But first... Odogaron.  

01:09 <Ali> No, you cannot kill Kirin

01:09 <Schism> Different Kirin.

01:09 <Twilight_Sparkle> Still in low rank?

01:09 <Schism> It's a lightning dragon.  o3o;

01:09 <Schism> Yes.

01:09 <Ali> Autumn Blaze will Nirik you

01:09 * Ali sniffs this Twilight_Sparkle

01:10 <Twilight_Sparkle> It's an Elder Dragon, but, uh ....

01:10 * Twilight_Sparkle is ADragonDreaming

01:10 <Schism> The weakest of the lot.

01:10 <Twilight_Sparkle> no, not the weakest.

01:10 <Ali> But for how its~

01:10 <Ali> !twilight time

01:10 * DerpyBot bounces around in front of Twilight_Sparkle

01:10 <DerpyBot> Twilight time, Twilight time!

01:10 <Twilight_Sparkle> heee

01:10 * Ali bounces with DerpyBot. Twily time Twily time

01:11 * Sleeping_Nightmares lickies Ali

01:11 *** Sleeping_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

01:11 * Ali licks Filly_Nightmares

01:11 * Filly_Nightmares skree!

01:11 * Filly_Nightmares gnaws on Ali tummy

01:11 <Schism> If I'm doing Odoragon, knockback protect is probably a good plan.

01:15 <Twilight_Sparkle> you want bleed protect.

01:19 <Twilight_Sparkle> Odo causes bleed.

01:19 *** Joins: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP)

01:19 <Schism> Huh.  That he does.

01:20 <Schism> This is low-rank, tho, at least.

01:20 <Schism> Adra, did I ever share my guild card with you?

01:21 * Schism stares. "Nine trap tools from one quest? Oh, fine."

01:21 <Twilight_Sparkle> probably not, I haven't been on at the same time as you.

01:21 <Schism> Wanna join and do so?  If you have the PC version, of course.

01:22 <Twilight_Sparkle> I do have it, but I'm in the middle of doing things in SWTOR

01:22 <Schism> That's fine.  I'll be on for a little while at least.

01:22 * Schism gets another 36,000 trade-in zenny.

01:23 <Schism> Slay 12 Kestodon.  Okay.

01:24 <Schism> May as well do this one, even if it's cheapo.

01:28 <Schism> May as well do the weekly bounties I can, before they expire, right?

01:31 <Twilight_Sparkle> aye

01:32 <Schism> Think I'll take a few quests to grow Blazenuts.

01:33 <Schism> Level 3 gunpowder is -kind of- useful, right?

01:35 <Schism> Hm.  Hunt bird wyvern.  Investigation: Kulu-Ya-Ku.

01:35 <Schism> I'm pretty sure that's a boid.

01:43 <Schism> Oh, that's a twofer.  Kay.

01:43 <Tirek> Hi there.

01:44 <Schism> Ahoy.

01:44 <Schism> Yes, Blazenuts... will be my goal for the next couple dozen quests.

01:44 <Twilight_Sparkle> why so

01:45 <Schism> Because I stockpile like a hoarder whenever I have the opportunity, and I'd rather not fish up a million Bomb Arowanas.

01:45 <Schism> I'm growing them on the great tree, that is.

01:50 <Tirek> My most recent batch of fermented tea is particularly potent. Burns a smidge on the tongue

01:50 <Schism> That's... worrisome.

01:51 <Tirek> I ferment it in water kefir.

01:51 <Schism> Hmm.  Pukei-Pukei and lightning fox.  I hate the both of them.  Well, 50 minutes is plenty of time to hunt them both down.

01:51 <Tirek> So, I'm not particularly worried. Been drinking this stuff for a while.

01:51 <Schism> If you haven't gone blind yet, you should be fine.

01:52 <Tirek> Its a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast.

01:53 <Schism> Hmm...

01:54 <Tirek> Similar to kombucha, but a shorter fermentation cycle

02:05 <Schism> Oh neat, my pet pig unearthed a new costume.

02:45 <Schism> Aw.  Was hoping for a second capture, but it never gave me the skulls.

02:46 * Schism at least gets an Anjanath Plate.

05:44 <ConfusionRift> Hallo everypony.

05:58 * DashedRainbows boops ConfusionRift with a plushie of himself and bleps

05:59 * ConfusionRift pets DashedRainbows, then boops. :P

06:01 <PinkieShy> Apparently.. a friend in VRChat with a client (Non-official bannable one)

06:02 <PinkieShy> Looked at my rank on it :P

06:02 <PinkieShy> Apparently I am legendary rank in the API according to them

06:03 <PinkieShy> I mean i would hope so.. With as many hours clocked in, and the fact I've been a member since December 2017..

06:03 * DashedRainbows takes her blankie and pacifier then flops onto ConfusionRift for sleepies. Is tired little filly.

06:06 * ConfusionRift yawns. He's tired as well.

06:06 <ConfusionRift> Still debating on getting a VR headset...

06:15 <DashedRainbows> ConfusionRift is comfy horse, yay!

06:16 <ConfusionRift> :P

06:18 <PinkieShy> Today. The Most Confusing Day on record for me.

06:18 <PinkieShy> That's life i guess.. Some days are more Confusing than others.

06:21 <ConfusionRift> Yep, that's life. One confusing situation at a time.

06:21 *** Quits: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

06:24 <DashedRainbows> Then there's some rifts among the confusion :p

06:36 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)

06:39 <ConfusionRift> You know, confusion. Like for example, I got a cut on my right thumb. Strangely enough, it didn't hurt, but my left thumb did.

06:51 * Ali flops over the PinkieShy and ConfusionRift

06:52 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.

06:53 * DashedRainbows shivers and decides to curl up under Ali instead

06:53 * Ali hugs the DashedRainbows so much

06:54 * DashedRainbows boops her again

07:04 * Ali starts to whine from all the boops

07:07 * DashedRainbows hugs and offers another sugar cube

07:16 <ConfusionRift> Oh cool, jury duty.

07:30 <ConfusionRift> Eeeeeexcuse me? Megaman ZX Collection?!

07:48 <Ali> You didn't know about that?

07:49 <ConfusionRift> Nope. I knew of the X and classic collections, but not the ZX one.

08:05 *** PinkieShy is now known as PinkieShy[ZzZ]

08:37 <Cepheid> I'm hoping it has the original Japanese voiceovers for the ZX games.

08:39 <ConfusionRift> Or at least have the option. Considering how the other collections work, that might in.

08:40 <Cepheid> Most likely yeah.

08:46 <ConfusionRift> If not, I'm fine with it as is. It's DS quality, so it's not exactly meant to be super high quality.

08:48 * ConfusionRift sees Celeste on special again. "I get it, but still no."

08:53 <Cepheid> So there is a caterpillar outside with a snowblower attachment on the back racing around at high speed.  Guess where the snowblower is aimed.

08:53 <ConfusionRift> Towards the houses?

08:54 <Cepheid> Behind the snow blower, such that it is just re-applying the snow to where it is driven over.

08:55 <ConfusionRift> Heh, of course.

09:01 <Cepheid> Your undercoat is so smooth and fuzzy feeling, Tizzy!

09:03 <Cepheid> My parents have found that Tizzy's temperament has improved a lot since they shaved her.  Must have been a lot of matted fur.

09:03 <Cepheid> And good gods do cats give off a lot of heat.

09:06 <Cepheid> Also weird to see the fur at near-skin level.  Doesn't match her grown-in coat at all.

09:19 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/y3x3b4qm73d41.jpg The outdoor cats' expression for reasons unknown, reminds me of the Eggplant from the Adventure Island series.

09:21 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe.

13:41 <Lumindia> oh right, not discord

13:41 <Lumindia> https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/605489888736968730.png?v=1

13:42 <Cepheid> Ah.

13:44 <PinkieShy[ZzZ]> ... oh jeez..

13:44 <PinkieShy[ZzZ]> Just woke up and defraggler is still only at just 2% and i kept my PC on over night...

13:44 <AppleDash> That doesn't sound right

13:45 <PinkieShy[ZzZ]> Does anyone here know.. If it harms the PC hdd any to just stop the process and turn it into a quick defrag instead?

13:45 <AppleDash> As far as I'm aware it will not hurt anything to stop it.

13:47 <Lumindia> I think it finishes up the sector it waS WORKIng on, then stops

13:55 <Cepheid> It doesn't harm it to stop, no.

13:55 <Cepheid> Two Rathalos plates, a Rathalos gem, and a Medulla, all in one quest.  o3o;

14:00 <PinkieShy[ZzZ]> Okay its been stopped and the 'quick defrag' started instead..

14:01 * Cepheid hands Lumindia numerous wigglers.

14:01 <Lumindia> wiggler hat for XIV when?

14:01 <PinkieShy[ZzZ]> It seems to be moving extremely fast, like the numbers for fragment in total and fragmented files is going down fast.. Maybe i needed to do this first before doing the stronger option

14:02 <Cepheid> The longer option isn't... really worthwhile, I would say.

14:02 <Cepheid> In fact, defragmentation is ill advised for SSDs, if you're doing it on an SSD.

14:02 <PinkieShy[ZzZ]> The longer one said it would have taken my PC greater than 24 hours..

14:03 <PinkieShy[ZzZ]> and this isn't an ssd its just a basic bottom of your barrel WD Blue.

15:04 <Cepheid> This happened because me and another player had stun-locked her.

15:05 <Cepheid> Flashbombed, flashbombed again from a flashfly cage, KOed, then paralysis, KOed again, then died.

15:06 <Cepheid> Because she never "saw" us, she never aggroed us, and thus, her music never started.

15:21 <Cepheid> Bah, why do cat bites sting for so long?

15:22 <ADragonDreaming> prolly cat saliva

15:23 <ADragonDreaming> let's see how long this takes to load

15:23 <Cepheid> Plus, admittedly, Tizzy bites hard enough sometimes to pierce skin.

15:23 <Cepheid> I *STILL* need to get that damned card out.  I think I'll do it sometime this weekend on my own.  Just walk to the local post office.

15:23 <Cepheid> I can't rely on the parents to take me.  They keep making excuses.

15:24 <ADragonDreaming> hm. making me re-assign setting

15:24 <Cepheid> ... Fisher researcher, you want *THAT* fish now?

15:24 <Cepheid> And yeah.

15:24 <Cepheid> A lot of keyboard and mouse settings have been adjusted.  For the worse, I fear.

15:25 <Cepheid> It's kind of a pain with some of the settings.

15:25 <ADragonDreaming> simultaneous action? What's that again?

15:26 <Cepheid> You can bind the combination to a single key or button now.

15:26 <Cepheid> That's one area where it's improved.

15:26 <Cepheid> Where it's gotten worse, is, ironically, in regards to interacting with the environment, and with using the slinger.

15:27 <ADragonDreaming> C was/is slinger... ranged has that defaulted to simultaneous action for gunners...

15:28 <Cepheid> Dang.  That fish was there last time I caught it, but it's not this time.

15:29 <Cepheid> Truth told the control changes aren't *THAT* bad.

15:30 <Cepheid> I'm just annoyed because I wasted so many flashbombs and dung bombs as a gunner/bow user.

15:32 <ADragonDreaming> thiiiis is gonna take some time to get used to agin

15:33 <Cepheid> It took me some time, as well./

15:33 <Cepheid> I'm still reckless as ever, though, but it works out for everyone else around me.

15:35 <Cepheid> I'm still working on that myself.

15:35 *** Joins: Heartbreak (Heartbreak@Pony-gja4ce.mn.comcast.net)

15:35 <Cepheid> I got my stone, but yeah, there's a bunch of special investigations and assigned quests.

15:37 <ADragonDreaming> and I want to upgrade weapons ... hmm...

15:38 <Cepheid> Anything you're looking to work on?

15:39 <ADragonDreaming> trying to figure that out now

15:41 <ADragonDreaming> all the things I need parts for already are probably a bad choice for a first return.

15:41 <ADragonDreaming> except for rathian. That could work.

15:44 <Cepheid> Tizzy, please stop licking me.

15:48 <Cepheid> I'm done wandering the field, so if you want me to tag along, just say so.

15:49 <ADragonDreaming> we apparently have randos joining

15:50 <Cepheid> Oh, yeah.  I joined a public session.

15:50 <Cepheid> Hold on, I'll create a private session.

15:50 <Cepheid> There.

15:51 <ADragonDreaming> how do I talk in game again

16:06 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming:  So yeah, clutch claw.  Basically, you grapple onto the monster, then can do either a claw attack, which in certain situations will cause the monster to do a 90-degree turn.  You can then force it into a wall to knock it out.

16:06 <Cepheid> Or, you can use your weapon, and tenderize a body part.

16:06 <ADragonDreaming> I should run that intro quest

16:06 <Cepheid> Which makes it susceptible to damage.  Makes cutting tails easy.

16:06 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's not a bad idea.

16:06 <Cepheid> In fact, I want to do it again myself.

16:07 <Cepheid> I'm not quite fully sure of all the controls regarding it, myself.

16:07 <ADragonDreaming> This game is like riding a bike

16:07 <ADragonDreaming> It all came back basically instantly

16:07 <Cepheid> More or less.

16:08 <ADragonDreaming> "oh right, this is how this weapon works"

16:08 <ADragonDreaming> "Kaboom!"

16:08 <Cepheid> You got Iceborne then, I assume, by the by?

16:08 <ADragonDreaming> yes

16:08 <Cepheid> You should have a new attack or three available, then.

16:08 <ADragonDreaming> probably. is there a tutorial for those?

16:08 <Cepheid> Not as far as I know.

16:09 <Cepheid> There is documentation in the Hunter's Guide.

16:09 <Cepheid> I'm wandering off to do a quick practice run with the clutch claw to recall the controls for the thing beyond "Tenderizin'!"

16:10 <ADragonDreaming> I will also do

16:10 <ADragonDreaming> after I do some of the between quest things

16:14 <Cepheid> Ah, okay, so that's how it works..

16:25 <ADragonDreaming> also getting random freezes. hm.

16:25 <Cepheid> Sure it's freezes and the camera not just being wonky in Astera/town?

16:25 <ADragonDreaming> yes

16:25 <ADragonDreaming> it's happening in quest

16:26 <Cepheid> 'Cause I got wonkiness with the camera, myself.  Only seems to happen in town.

16:26 <Cepheid> And bah.

16:27 <Cepheid> I'd say enable the DX12 API if you can.  Otherwise, only other things I can think of are to disable the HPET and/or check make sure your display's refresh rate is actually 60Hz and not 59.94Hz.

16:27 <ADragonDreaming> I will try to find out what those mean after it stops freezing tring to join your session.

16:28 <ADragonDreaming> ...alt-F4 doesn't work? really, capcom?

16:28 <Cepheid> The session freezing thing... Yeah, I encountered that once, dunno what causes it.

16:29 <Cepheid> As for the Alt+F4, yeah, a lot of games have been disabling that as of late.  It's not just MHWorld.

16:29 <ADragonDreaming> I will not be able to enable dX12 api as the desktop is on Windows 7

16:30 <Cepheid> Ah.  Bah.

16:30 <Cepheid> I'll need to get that card to you ASAP, then.

16:31 <ADragonDreaming> everything I can find says yes, 60 hz, not 59.94

16:31 <Cepheid> Right then.

16:32 <ADragonDreaming> as for hpet... mmm. bios settings.

16:33 <Cepheid> You don't have to go that far.

16:33 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, I'm not

16:35 <Cepheid> Can do it from Device Manager, under System Devices.  Disable High Precision Event Timer, or, you can do "bcdedit /set useplatformclock false" in a command-line console.  Both cases require a reboot.

16:36 <Cepheid> I have no idea why the damned things are so broken and useless for gaming, but meh.

16:36 <Cepheid> Hell, as it is, for entire generations of CPUs, Intel has defaulted now to disabling them due to bugs.

16:42 <ADragonDreaming> ...wow game. you weren't this stuttery last time I played you

16:43 <Cepheid> Yeah, there were problems introduced with Iceborne.  For some reason, it seems to be hit-and-miss with people.

16:44 <Cepheid> For reasons unknown, I have had the exact opposite.  All the problems I saw prior to Iceborne are gone.

16:45 <ADragonDreaming> thiiis is getting reidiculous

16:45 <Cepheid> Bah.

16:46 <ADragonDreaming> oi.

16:46 <ADragonDreaming> and another session dc

16:46 <ADragonDreaming> I think my internet is also being crappy right now

16:47 <Cepheid> It's possible.

16:47 <Cepheid> Gonna grab some food.  Back in a bit.

16:48 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-lmphe1.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)

16:48 <ADragonDreaming> immediately after accepting the quest, stuttering and freezing.

16:48 <Cepheid> Yeah, from loading data, looks like.

17:04 <Cepheid> Your connection picked the best possible time to disconnect.

17:04 <ADragonDreaming> I still got the stuff

17:04 <ADragonDreaming> also, lots of freezing at quest end this time

17:04 <ADragonDreaming> which I thing caused the DC

17:04 <Cepheid> Bah.

17:05 <ADragonDreaming> but I got a ruby

17:05 <Cepheid> Capcom's aware of the issue, and they're trying to fix it, but it doesn't seem to be working out for everyone.

17:07 <ADragonDreaming> so am I supposed to see the HPET as a device under system devices?

17:08 <Cepheid> According to what I've read, yeah, it's supposed to be listed under System Devices in the Device Manager.

17:09 <Cepheid> It'll read as "High precision event timer"

17:09 <ADragonDreaming> I apparently do not have one

17:10 <Cepheid> Seriously?  Even after selecting "Show Hidden Devices" under the View menu?

17:10 <ADragonDreaming> yep

17:11 <Cepheid> Huh.

17:11 *** Quits: Twilight_Sparkle (BigPapa@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: ASCII a stupid question, get a stupid ANSI!)

17:49 <Cepheid> Actually, ADra, I think I'm gonna lay down for a bit.  Getting tired and feeling weird.

17:51 <ADragonDreaming> okay

17:54 <Cepheid> If you opt to go on without me, I would advise armor with ice resist and a good fire weapon.  Also the skill Aquatic/Polar mobility.

17:58 <Cepheid> I'm gonna have to start wearing a face mask any time I go outside now aren't I?  Corona virus panic is gonna cause people to be afraid of those who cough.

18:03 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1219125140841213952?s=19 Hey Adra.  If you ever wondered what a cat looks like shaved, here's Tizzy.

18:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Fanfiction: The Absence of Light [ http://tinyurl.com/yx6xdc95 ]

18:19 <Cepheid> Guh.  That cough syrup burned like hell going down.

18:28 <ADragonDreaming> there's a windows update that won't install. hm.

18:30 <ADragonDreaming> poor tizzy. But if she needed it, then!

18:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, she did.  But strangely despite it, she seems to be in a much better mood.  Also, cats give off a lot of heat.

18:35 <Cepheid> She is freakin' warm to the touch when her fur is that short.

18:40 <ADragonDreaming> she may well have been overheated on the regular.

18:45 <Cepheid> Possibly.  Still does nothing about her biting me after a while.  Got a new, stinging bite mark now.

19:04 <ADragonDreaming> whew.

19:04 <ADragonDreaming> successful nergi hunt

19:04 <ADragonDreaming> I ddn't break any horns or get the tail but I carve a gem!

19:05 <ADragonDreaming> plus 43560z for reward.

19:13 <Cepheid> Nice.

19:14 <Cepheid> One problem I have with Iceborne.  Since I entered Seliana, I haven't been able to get it's theme out of my head.

19:14 <ADragonDreaming> heh

19:14 <ADragonDreaming> I haven't even done that

19:15 <Cepheid> Heh.

19:17 <Cepheid> Seriously though bring Aqua/Polar Mobility.  And at least a good fire weapon.  Maybe also meld yourself a metric ton of sonic pods.

19:17 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, I have a mirewalker charm

19:17 <Cepheid> Good.

19:17 <ADragonDreaming> I'm kinda wanting to finish out my weapon loadout

19:17 <Cepheid> I don't blame ye.  I'm doing the same mostly.

19:17 <ADragonDreaming> anti-ice set recommended for the iceborne stuff, right?

19:17 <Cepheid> Only got a few more weapons to go.

19:17 <ADragonDreaming> ...that might be Daora.

19:17 <Cepheid> Initially yeah.

19:18 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-trb5lu.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)

19:18 <Cepheid> After that it'll probably mix things up.  What with Brachy and Zinogre returning.

19:19 <Cepheid> I only progressed as far as a subspecies.  Which is like, 3 quests in.

19:21 <Cepheid> Which is enough to unlock Seliana and all of it's services, which I really recommend you do.  They took Astera, took all of it's problems, and fixed them.

19:23 <Cepheid> Otherwise, it seems the research base is meant to be the full-service "town" now that is nice and compact.

19:24 <Cepheid> The only thing you don't get easy access to in it is the Tree and the Bounties.

19:25 <ADragonDreaming> come along, wedding-dress Spitfire.

19:27 <Cepheid> Heh.

19:27 <Cepheid> Glowing red eyes?

19:31 <ADragonDreaming> difficult to say. Xeno'jiva set, though

19:32 <Cepheid> Yeah, I was gonna say.

19:40 <ADragonDreaming> huh.

19:40 <ADragonDreaming> that went super fast.

19:40 <ADragonDreaming> I went to Nergi CB, then one more hunt, got everything I need to the upgrade to that too

19:41 <ADragonDreaming> hm. gold crown smallbie
