00:01 <Schism> So... this is a start, yeah? https://imgur.com/a/dXB96BJ
00:03 <Cepheid> Only 1760?
00:04 <Cepheid> https://m.imgur.com/gallery/0ft86rM
00:04 <Schism> Well, I ran out of grade 3 gunpowder.
00:04 *** Joins: coppertiger (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net)
00:05 <Schism> It's more like 2076.
00:06 <Schism> And 1916 for the spread ammo.
00:08 <Schism> Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, HM variant... hm...
00:08 <Schism> Sure, I'll eat that thing.
00:09 <ADragonDreaming> well, that's not answered in SLA.
00:09 <ADragonDreaming> That was more like 42%.
00:09 <ADragonDreaming> but it was an outage day, so.
00:12 <ADragonDreaming> I'll be honest
00:12 <ADragonDreaming> ammo is why I've never seriously tried to be a gunner
00:15 <Cepheid> It isn't that bad for crafting these days in World, since you can assign crafting to a quick key now
00:17 <Schism> Hum. Water resistance 1. Not bad.
00:17 <Schism> You can also autocraft.
00:18 <Cepheid> You also don't have to deal with variance in yield anymore, so...
00:18 <Schism> Three lucky vouchers per day during this event, by the way.
00:19 <Schism> They just refreshed.
00:19 <Cepheid> Yep. And tickets for fancy armour.
00:20 <Cepheid> Also with gunning now are new skills, and mods.
00:21 <Cepheid> Not sure Schism can get the new mods though. But they certainly help.
00:21 <Cepheid> Increases the critical range and other fun effects.
00:22 <Schism> Maybe not yet, especially since I don't have Master Rank unlocked.
00:22 * Schism headtilts at these quests. "...wait..."
00:23 * Schism hits Tab. Then he slams his face into his desk.
00:23 <Cepheid> Do you have the expansion?
00:23 <Schism> I do not have Iceborne yet.
00:23 <Schism> Cepheid, I just realized that investigations can be sorted.
00:24 <Cepheid> A lot of stuff can.
00:24 <Schism> Yeah, but this should have become apparent earlier.
00:25 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, if you see Iceborne on sale, try to grab it. Even prior to Master Rank it has stuff you can use.
00:25 * Schism nodnods, "I have looked into it."
00:26 <Schism> 3 minutes until laundry. Then I shall attempt to hunt Great Jagras and Anjanath for two gold rank rewards -- without dying.
00:26 <Schism> I should also probably hunt some Shamos.

00:43 <Cepheid> What was the squad called?
00:43 <Schism> What's stopping you?
00:44 <ADragonDreaming_> The other two players haven't readied up on Discord.

00:50 <Schism> Might do some type of bowgun or another, tho.
00:50 <ADragonDreaming> Not in the same fashion as a gunlance.
00:50 <ADragonDreaming> I should do gunlances, too.
00:52 <Schism> I should at least train in that, so that I can get used to ammo switching.

03:06 <Schism> Just momentarily. I need to be up in 6 hours.
03:07 <Schism> Alas, we'll both be bereft of ConfusionRift's.

03:37 <ADragonDreaming> noice
03:37 <Schism> Twas. o3o; No gems, tho. Alas.
03:38 <ADragonDreaming> you can't get the ruby until high rank
03:38 <Schism> That is the point of those gold-reward investigations. Even if they don't give anything good, there's at least a little bit of worthwhile materials.
03:39 <Schism> I look forward to that 9* Rathalos/Rathian quest.
03:39 <ADragonDreaming> That one's fun!
03:39 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid is much better at dung bombs than I am
03:39 <Schism> I did one very much like that, the poison event quest. It also included a Pukei-Pukei.
03:40 <Schism> And I need to learn to use those damned slinger pods. :<
03:40 <Schism> Adra, make sure you do the event quests to which you have access. One of them gives the much-vaunted wiggler hat.
03:42 <Schism> Another gives the smol gold crown for the Great Jagras. I hadn't even realized that it -was- a Great Jagras before I cut off its head. 3o3;
03:42 <ADragonDreaming> so... all of them, then.
03:43 <ADragonDreaming> because they're all there right now
03:43 <ADragonDreaming> also, yeah, I ran that one already.

03:49 <Schism> ...!
03:49 <Schism> Adra, are you sure? I do appreciate it...
03:49 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.
03:49 <Schism> I'll have to counter that at some point, you do realize.
03:50 <ADragonDreaming> In a year, when you would've got Iceborne.
03:50 <Schism> Heh. That's sensible. Though I might come up with something sooner.
03:50 <ADragonDreaming> But see this way you can play it sooner, while things are fresh and Cephy and I are doing things
03:51 <Schism> That's reasonable. I will come up with something along the way, though.
03:52 <ADragonDreaming> kay-o.
04:00 <Schism> F'r xample... did you ever pick up A Hat in Time?
04:02 <Schism> I know Rifty did.

07:29 <Golden> Hey
07:31 * Jackie pats Golden
07:33 * Golden pats back
07:36 <Jackie> In my opinion, going to an art class formally isn't worth it anymore, considering you have to pay like a very hefty price. This is why self-taught is a thing. We teach ourselves how to draw.
07:37 * Ali nests on Jackie, has the volcano stop going nuts?
07:37 <Jackie> It fails because for example, you only want anime, or cartoon instead of using realism as an example
07:37 <Golden> I can agree.
07:38 <Golden> The art classes though are good for understanding the body so you can start to animate really which is another beast on it's own.
07:39 <ConfusionRift> There's a reason why they start with realism and proportions.
07:39 <Golden> Along with being able to possibly produce stuff to be displayed in museums.
07:39 *** Joins: coppertiger5 (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net)
07:40 <ConfusionRift> Well, they kinda expect you to go that mile, but you don't have to. You can use that as a "canvas" so you can get an idea of where to go when it comes to making art.
07:40 <ConfusionRift> Or at least sketch and animate.

07:43 <Jackie> I've heard former art students complaining about what they didn't expect
07:44 <Jackie> It just blows my mind that self taught artists are outshadowed by industries
07:45 <Jackie> Just because of a lousy paper saying that you have art skills (degree)
07:46 <ConfusionRift> Eeeeeeh... kinda. There are a lot of artists that have no degree in art and the big titles, and still work with larger companies.
07:46 <Golden> That's the education system in a nutshell.
07:46 <ConfusionRift> A bunch work on games, cartoons, and even movies.
07:47 <Jackie> Idk, the degree thing should stop, i mean for my method, I'd make a company that relies on skill rather than a degree
07:47 <Golden> While what you both are saying is true, the fact that a lot of jobs in any industry will barely look at you either way
07:47 <ConfusionRift> That's another hole for another day, really.
07:47 <Jackie> There are a lot of people who are degreeless
07:47 <Jackie> But can hone their skills
07:47 <Golden> It's mainly tied to the "This is a starting position level job, but you need 5 years experience for it" type deal too.
07:48 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz; Messrs Golden, Cepheid and Schism, Mlles Jackie, Filly_Nightmares and DashedRainbows.
07:48 <Finwe> o7
07:48 <Jackie> Considering college is becoming too expensive
07:48 <ConfusionRift> Golden... yep, about as much.
07:48 <Jackie> The society system in America blows
07:48 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
07:49 <Golden> The college I was wanting to attend was going to charge me 17k a semester.
07:49 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7
07:49 <ConfusionRift> Society blows in general. -_-
07:49 <Jackie> Why aren't people relying on skill and talent
07:49 <Jackie> It's actually the good part
07:49 <Golden> I saw that, and instantly backed out. For that would require me working about four jobs at once to even meet 17k
07:50 * Finwe noms on the Nordic system where almost all education is financed with fiscal funds.
07:50 <Jackie> I'd be honest
07:50 * ConfusionRift stares at Golden. "There was a reason why I was kinda trying to avoid that point."
07:50 <Jackie> I would open a job for drop outs or those who can't afford college, they just have to give me their portfollio for art
07:51 <Golden> sorry...
07:51 <Jackie> *portfolio
07:51 <Jackie> And it's not just art
07:51 <Jackie> Music, writing and programming are very self taught
07:52 <Jackie> Self taught in a sense that you can turn your hobby into a career
07:52 <ConfusionRift> How about having a bachelors and a masters degree, get tied to a $75,000, no one wants/wanted to hire you for any IT position, all opportunities for the such CLOSED as soon as one finishes the studies, and one ends up working retail as a final solution to the problem?
07:53 <ConfusionRift> *-75,000 loan-
07:53 <Jackie> Beats me
07:54 <ConfusionRift> Well, that's my hole.
07:54 <Jackie> Many companies just don't rely on logic and skill
07:54 <Jackie> Heck
07:55 <Jackie> There's a self taught programmer that programmed a very intelligent AI
07:55 <Jackie> Yet no one considered hiring them
07:55 <ConfusionRift> To be honest, companies are either looking for gold or for crud. No in between.
07:56 <ConfusionRift> They either look for someone that looks prestigious, acts as such, and has what they want and then some. Or they're really looking for someone they can exploit and throw away like a rug.
07:57 <Jackie> If it's a skill/hobby, I don't even think a degree is really necessary anymore
07:58 <Koopz> "Well, that's like, your opinion, man"
07:58 * Finwe hats on Koopz.
07:58 <Jackie> As millenials tried to make alternative methods
07:58 <Jackie> And they did
07:58 <Koopz> Startups?
07:58 <Jackie> I always think degree requirement is a boomer thing
07:59 <ConfusionRift> Let's not.
07:59 <Jackie> I'm half a millenial and a gen Z.
08:00 <Koopz> if you're looking for programming work, you could offer creating websites to companies that still have one that looks like it was made in the 90s on the side
08:00 <Golden> Can we change the subject? I am starting to remember the down spiral my life is going.
08:01 * Finwe patpathugs a Golden.
08:01 <Koopz> though i guess in the US nobody cares about pesky things like GDPR and impress updates to avoid getting sued, or forced usage of HTTPS when there's a form on the website
08:01 <ConfusionRift> Golden: That is the exact reason why I wanted to kinda avoid it.
08:02 <Jackie> Idk, I feel attacked when I program with high effort to make a living
08:02 <Golden> So who heard Chameleons are getting added to Animal Crossing?
08:02 <ConfusionRift> 0_0
08:02 <ConfusionRift> I didn't... I hope they do.
08:03 <Koopz> i'm kinda shocked they weren't in there yet
08:03 <Golden> It was shown in an official promotional image.
08:04 <ConfusionRift> Koopz: There wasn't much to begin with, and I would imagine making a tiny color changing model would get a bit lost considering the games didn't look as sharp as they do now.
08:05 <Golden> Also quick question. Is it normal to have a head ache gor 12 hours even though you've taken pain relief meds?
08:06 <ConfusionRift> Depends on the med and the cause of the headaches.
08:06 <Golden> It started when I woke up, and I have been taking Ibuprofen
08:07 * Finwe exceptionally does not nom on Golden's analgesics.
08:07 <Koopz> i kinda miss playing AC... the last title i played was Wild World
08:08 <Koopz> but if i were to play it again i'd dump several hundred hours in it... which would screw up my schedule majorly
08:08 <ConfusionRift> New Leaf (especially with the last major update) had some fun to it.
08:09 <ConfusionRift> Koopz: It is a sacrifice one must make. :P
08:10 <ConfusionRift> Jackie: Just in case, I really didn't mean to push or sound aggressive. It's just the subject of jobs and education can be a bit... touchy, as you may have noticed.
08:10 * Jackie has never played AC because it's a console game
08:11 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately.
08:12 <ConfusionRift> You're not missing much, really. Ultimately, it's a time burner... that can get you hooked doing things you would normally avoid doing in real life. :P
08:12 <ConfusionRift> And no, I don't mean bad things. This is no GTA.
08:12 <Jackie> Sucks that AC can't be played on n64
08:13 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaaactually.....
08:13 <Jackie> I rather play on non-modern consoles
08:13 <ConfusionRift> I'm sure there's an AC for N64.
08:13 <Jackie> Like before ps3, 3ds, and wii
08:14 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait no. Japan only.
08:14 <Jackie> i'd get the rom and the english patcj
08:14 <Jackie> *patch
08:15 <ConfusionRift> The first AC was released on the N64 in Japan. The US got it later on the Gamecube.
08:16 <Jackie> I'd play n64

08:23 <Jackie> It's unlikely I'll buy any modern console
08:24 <Ali> New games have sucked a ton lately
08:24 <Ali> They're either half *yay* or just lame
08:24 <Ali> I mean heck
08:24 <Ali> Now looking back at it
08:24 <Ali> HOW did Fallout 4 win game of the year again?
08:27 <ConfusionRift> ...
08:27 <ConfusionRift> Deja vu...
08:27 <Ali> yeah I know I'm griping about that again
08:27 <Ali> But it just comes to show you that AAA games are so unpolished now its not even funny
08:28 <Ali> Heck 76 is still in Beta if you really wanted to call them out on it.
08:28 * ConfusionRift points at Skyrim, then FO:NV, and then the other works of Bethesda since the move to 3d.
08:28 <Golden> Hm
08:29 <ConfusionRift> All those got GoTY.
08:29 <ConfusionRift> Somehow.
08:29 <Ali> NV at least isn't as buggy garbage as both Skyrim and Fallout 4
08:29 <Ali> How either of those two got GotY is confounding
08:31 <ConfusionRift> As I mentioned before, in the case of FO4 for me, it's because I still have my fun, and the story was pretty good. It eventually got into "choose your own adventure" as those games always do. I think that may be the reason how they got the GoTY.
08:31 <Ali> Well its more of the bugs aplenty that make me wonder more
08:32 <ConfusionRift> That... I do agree. They're way too buggy to get that kind of recognition.
08:33 <ConfusionRift> And other games that are cleaner, smoother, and better in most ways don't get even close to that.
08:33 <Ali> Pretty much, other than those two games made a bigger splash despite all the bugs.
08:36 <ConfusionRift> I really hate to say this, but... it's kinda sorta maybe... the communities fault. They featured more the bugs as part of the fun.
08:36 <ConfusionRift> Though, losing 300-400 hours of progress is NOT fun in any way.
08:36 <Ali> Or just entire save files
08:37 <ConfusionRift> Basically that.
08:45 <Koopz> oy don't diss Bethesda's tendency for buggy game engines
08:46 <Koopz> imo they're part of the game
08:46 * Ali sits on Koopz and puffycheeks
08:46 <Koopz> part of the experience
08:46 <ConfusionRift> Point proven. :P
08:47 * ConfusionRift looks at Ali, then smiles. "It just works." :P
08:47 <Ali> Like how Porky spawns in the floor instead of the balcony
08:47 <Ali> Little lies stunning shows people buy money FLOOOOOOOOWWWWWSSSS
08:47 <Ali> IT JUST WOOORRRKSSSS
08:47 <Koopz> of course there are some bugs that aren't that fun
08:49 <Koopz> i don't mind the NPCs all sounding the same either
08:49 <Koopz> the german dubbed version of Skyrim had like every 3rd male character sound like an old man
08:50 <Koopz> it might've not been intentionally bad but sometimes things can be so bad they're fun again
08:52 <Koopz> like that one anime OVA i was basically forced to watch called Crying Freeman. It's made like they were 200% serious about the story and everything. But man, what a ride.
08:53 <Koopz> it makes you wonder how you're supposed to rate something like this though when that thing doesn't have a Parody tag.
08:54 <Koopz> Personal enjoyment 10/10, production wise 1/10
09:07 * Ali tells Koopz that another settlement needs his help
09:11 * Koopz pulls out his Gauss rifle and shoots off Ali's cowboy hat.

09:22 * ConfusionRift boops DashedRainbows, then plays around. :P
09:31 * DashedRainbows wags her rump in the air and pounces on him
09:33 * DashedRainbows also begs at ConfusionRift for sugar cubes before bed
09:36 * ConfusionRift gives DashedRainbows a sugar cube. :P
09:37 <ConfusionRift> It's just sugar,,, but the cube shape does make it nicer.
09:38 * DashedRainbows is still sleepy horse so curls up in her doggy bed
09:42 * DashedRainbows also scratches at her collar and begins snoring lightly
10:35 * Cepheid drops in, does a screeching roar, then proceeds to rush ConfusiomRift. "Morning!"
10:38 * ConfusionRift holds steady. "G-g-good mornING AAAH!"
10:40 * Cepheid bounces off ConfusionRift.
10:41 <ConfusionRift> How be things?
10:42 <Cepheid> Good. Cold.
10:42 * ConfusionRift nods.
10:43 <ConfusionRift> Alright. Not as cold. On my days off. :P
10:45 <Cepheid> There is the issue of the headaches though. Keep coming despite treatment, and they are starting to get bad.
10:46 <Cepheid> But, weirdly, just in time for this to start, my parents were able to find some Tylenol with codeine again.
10:50 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.
10:54 * Lumindia starts building Engels somewhere in the channel
10:56 <Cepheid> Not much I can do about it. Ah well.
10:57 * Cepheid shows Rifty a Warrior's Streamstone. "When you can fight tempered stuff, you need to find one of these."
10:59 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Hmmm? Gonna guess a material for something?
11:00 <Cepheid> Augmenting. It allows you to upgrade low rank armor to high rank(and presumably master rank later on) defense. Besides that..
11:01 <Cepheid> It lets you add special traits to weapons of a high enough rarity.
11:02 <ConfusionRift> Really really REALLY need to catch up. But... I get distracted. :P
11:05 <Cepheid> I only discovered it thanks to seeing a screenshot of someone's character. It is apparently a feature that originated in World, not Iceborne.
11:05 *** Quits: Jackie (Jackie@demon.maid.pone.offers.cookies) (Connection closed)
11:05 *** Joins: Jackie2 (Jackie@demon.maid.pone.offers.cookies)
11:06 <Cepheid> It requires first obtaining a Warrior's Streamstone, which comes from Threat Level 2 tempered monster investigations.
11:08 <Cepheid> After that, such streamstones basically act as replacements for the Ancient Shards of previous MH games. They have variations for each kind of weapon, apparently. Only difference is you don't mine them, so...
11:11 <Cepheid> Also, I encountered Teostra's Significant Other.
11:12 <ConfusionRift> Luna?
11:12 <Cepheid> Yes.
11:12 * ConfusionRift nods. "They're made for each other." :P
11:13 <Cepheid> I know fear. And it's name is Lunastra.
11:13 <Cepheid> Teostra is a walk in the park compared to her.
11:15 <ConfusionRift> I know they're gonna pull of an MHFU and pair them both for a quest.
11:17 <Cepheid> It is practically the quest *AFTER* you encounter Lunastra. Which is a 15 minute repel quest for the record.
11:18 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, do they still do the explosion clouds?
11:20 <Cepheid> Teostra, definitely. Lunastra..
11:20 * Schism awakens. Preps for work. "What's with that 'Guide Zorah Magdalos' quest? I mean... guide? Is that just meaning that one should fight it like normal?"
11:21 <Cepheid> She does clouds, leaves spots and lines of burning blue flame, and has one attack that is... terrifying.
11:21 <Cepheid> Schism: More or less.
11:21 <Schism> Or should one set up a breadcrumb line of Rathians for it to eat?
11:21 <Schism> Okay.
11:21 <Cepheid> You're guiding it via making the path it wants to go look like a bad idea.
11:21 <Cepheid> So you're basically beating the *YAY* out of it.
11:21 <Cepheid> Until it decides to **** off to somewhere else.
11:24 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Like Teostra, Lunastra has an end-of-rage attack. She stands on the ground, and blue flames fly out from her. The range is incredible, and it drains your health *RAPIDLY* even with a cold drink active. On top of this, she spits out clouds of blue dust that, if they hit you, do a good chunk of damage.
11:24 <Cepheid> In every usage of this attack, she carted me.
11:26 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/blackcats/comments/eus200/my_void_likes_his_new_bed/ I need to figure out where to get this.
11:26 <ConfusionRift> Sounds about right.
11:27 <ConfusionRift> Before, she would spread a wide fiery cloud, and then click her fangs, causing an explosion that would kick you off good.
11:27 <Cepheid> Heh, speaking of end-of-rage attacks, reminds me of the other day.
11:28 <Cepheid> Fighting Teostra with a bunch of randos. Teostra goes to do his Supernova, and there's no way for most of us to escape.
11:28 <ConfusionRift> Not sure if it's so, but I'm gonna guess they have the flame barriers as well.
11:28 <Cepheid> I had so much fire resist I only took ~25% of my health in damage.
11:28 <Cepheid> The other two carted.
11:28 <Cepheid> From full health.
11:28 <ConfusionRift> Yep!
11:29 <ConfusionRift> They weren't fun, and I can tell they made then worse.
11:29 <Cepheid> Worst part is, I had brought along a horn that gave elemental resist for that exact reason.
11:29 <Schism> Now wait until the Lunastra+Teostra big bang attack.
11:30 * Schism preps some more.
11:31 <Cepheid> Oh gods.
11:31 <ConfusionRift> As I said, there used to be a duo kill quest.
11:31 <Cepheid> There IS.
11:31 <ConfusionRift> BOOM! Called it! :P
11:31 <Cepheid> Teostra and Lunastra have a series of special investigations involving them.
11:31 <Cepheid> First is to hunt Teostra, second is to repel Lunastra, third is to hunt both.
11:32 <ConfusionRift> Expect them to be very close together.
11:35 <Cepheid> Also, I figured out what that weird roar is that I've been hearing in the Ancient Forest.
11:36 <Cepheid> It's the response of a Rathian or Rathalos when their counterpart roars for any reason.
11:36 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, makes sense, especially since their nest is in there.
11:38 <Cepheid> It'd also explain why the roar sounded "distant"
11:38 <Cepheid> I only figured it out when I noticed I kept hearing it shortly after the Rathian or Rathalos was roaring, and only when both were on the field.
11:38 <Cepheid> That said, there is apparently a weird roar that people are hearing in Hoarfrost Reach.
11:39 <ConfusionRift> ...
11:39 * ConfusionRift has a flashback... "Kushala..."
11:40 <Cepheid> Not Kushala.
11:41 <Cepheid> Especially since you face Kushala before that point.
11:42 <ConfusionRift> Might be a new one.
11:43 <Cepheid> Most likely, yeah.
11:44 <Cepheid> That said, Kushala's interesting.
11:45 <ConfusionRift> That reminds me. Is there a rusted version here?
11:45 <Cepheid> I don't think so. Let me check. That said, it'd be a good variant to add later.
11:46 <Cepheid> Nope.
11:47 <Cepheid> Huh. That's interesting.
11:47 <ConfusionRift> There used to be. Kushala, before it molts, it hardens and rusts. The rusted version is a tougher and somewhat more aggressive version, which is one just about to shed their scales.
11:47 <Cepheid> So, if a friend in my friends list is online, but set to invisible, I can look for friend sessions, but nothing is listed.
11:47 <Cepheid> However, if no friends are online, it doesn't go to the list, it just goes "No friend sessions found."
11:47 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm familiar with it Rifty.
11:48 * Cepheid made it as far as G-rank in MH4U.
11:48 <ConfusionRift> Never got that for, not even remotely close.
11:49 <Cepheid> Have you ever achieved G-rank in any game?
11:50 <ConfusionRift> MHFU.
11:50 <ConfusionRift> And then got wiped haaaaard.
11:50 <Cepheid> Ah, so you are at least experienced with the difficulty.
11:50 <ConfusionRift> Yeees.
11:50 <Cepheid> Fortunately, Master Rank is a bit more progressive in the difficulty.
11:51 <ConfusionRift> It was absolutely demoralizing to get beat to pieces by starter monsters.
11:52 <ConfusionRift> That was around the point our group was diminishing.
11:52 <Cepheid> That'll still happen if you do solo runs, or runs with people all just starting out on Master Rank.
11:53 <Schism> Oh good. So I can look forward to being bum-rushed by Kelbi.
11:53 <Cepheid> Not quite to that level, no.

12:23 <Cepheid> You can't climb back up from the outcropping.
12:23 <Cepheid> So what do you do? Jump into the river.
12:23 <Cepheid> It delivers you to area 8.

12:37 * Cepheid catches a gold-crown small Goldenfish. That's the second goldenfish since Iceborne, and the first one was a gold crown large.

12:40 <Lumindia> I got Nier: Automata last night
12:40 <Lumindia> it's... certainly a game
12:40 <Finwe> There are actual flying mice that are rodents, unlike bats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-eared_flying_mouse
12:41 <Jackie> Those are still bats tho
12:41 <Finwe> They actually just glide, but they're still called flying mice.
12:41 <Jackie> Finwe, I think bats are related to mice
12:42 <Finwe> Not very closely.
12:42 <Finwe> Both are mammals, of course.
12:42 <Jackie> Is there a species that are related to bats?
12:43 <Jackie> Like how did bats were
12:43 <Cepheid> Finally, gold-crown.

13:29 <ConfusionRift> Makes you wonder. :P
13:37 <Cepheid> Wonder what? If players are assholes?
13:37 <ConfusionRift> ...no.
13:37 * ConfusionRift coughs.
13:38 <ConfusionRift> Was thinking more of all the players even reaching Master Rank.
13:38 <ConfusionRift> On top of the few who need help.
13:38 <Cepheid> Apparently approximately 1/3rd of players have reached it.
13:38 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/T8iQhST.jpg ... Sometimes, I wonder what Monster Hunter would look like if it was set in the far future instead.
13:40 <ConfusionRift> Was suddenly reminded of the Rathalos and Metal Gear Rex references in Metal Gear.
13:44 <Cepheid> Huh, I thought he wanted the marlin. He didn't. Wants some fish with a distinctive fin on top, and spots along the body that glow.
13:45 <ConfusionRift> Makes you wonder if the MH world is in parallel with the modern world.
13:46 <Cepheid> Current theorycrafting suggests that the world of monster hunter is our own world, but in a post-apocalyptic future, wherein something we did has resulted in the monsters, plus superhumans.
13:49 <ConfusionRift> The references were in Peace Walker, which was set in 1974. Maybe... something went really wrong. Oh goodness... (entranced in thought)
13:50 <Cepheid> Hum, the only fish I can find that comes close to the description are the golden- and platinum- fish. They glow, but only in the front half of their body, and they have an unusual fin.
13:52 <ConfusionRift> It could be... an alternative point, when Snake failed during one of the outings. Everything went down to hell, allowing these large monsters to thrive. Hmmmm...
13:53 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:53 <Cepheid> Nuclear war.
13:53 <Cepheid> Destroyed everything, created unbelievable monsters, and humans somehow thrived and became hunters
13:54 <ConfusionRift> There were nanomachines at play, which might explain their super strength.
13:54 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:55 * Cepheid goes to advance story a bit.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> Other newborn hunters were adapting to this newer need for greater strength, hence the actual hunters, without the aid of nanomachines. Progression by regression.
13:58 * ConfusionRift shakes his head.
13:58 <ConfusionRift> Too much thought into a small thing. But I like this.
13:58 * Cepheid pulls out Poison Charm III, Antipara Jewels.

14:04 <Cepheid> Oh *YAY*.
14:07 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?
14:09 <Cepheid> Subspecies of Anjanath showed up.
14:09 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;
14:10 <ConfusionRift> Is that the perma-rage one?
14:11 <ConfusionRift> Wrong monster, hold on.
14:13 <Jackie> Are blue macaws still maintained in the organization?
14:13 <ConfusionRift> Huh? What organization?
14:14 <ConfusionRift> Oh... bad news.
14:16 <ConfusionRift> Seems they were classified as extinct two years ago. So... there are very few.
14:17 <Koopz> we need a new somewhat obscure movie
14:17 <Koopz> any suggestions?

14:20 <Jackie> ConfusionRift, there was an attempt to save the species if they can breed
14:21 <ConfusionRift> I dunno... (looks to the side at the movie rack)
14:21 <ConfusionRift> Neverending Story?
14:21 <Koopz> nah that's too much drama but somewhat going into the right direction i'd say
14:22 <ConfusionRift> Hmm... I see... The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?
14:22 <Koopz> the Batman movies were a massive groanfest with the amount of puns especially in the Mr. Freeze one
14:23 <ConfusionRift> They're classic Batman... and that particular Batman movie is the most compact with the puns and meh humor.
14:23 <Koopz> good strip but... i'd say we need a bit more comedy

14:24 <ConfusionRift> Big Trouble in Little China? :P

14:26 <ConfusionRift> That's mostly an older comedy sorta actiony movie.

14:37 <Koopz> not sure how relevant those extra names are but i think in germany they're only on your birth documents
14:37 <Koopz> and on your ID
14:38 <Koopz> extra names give parents an additional way to express how mad they are with you though. If they call you by your full name, you know you dun goofed up big time
14:38 <ConfusionRift> "Alright. What's your first name?" | Bill. | "Okay.

20:09 <DashedRainbows> so quiet here...
20:10 * Ali nibbles on DashedRainbows tail
20:10 * DashedRainbows licks Ali a lot and bleps
20:16 * Ali brushies the DashedRainbows softly
20:20 * DashedRainbows whinnies softly and licks the Ali horse more
20:22 * Ali squeaks, too many licks
20:24 * DashedRainbows whimpers and gives the unicorn a towel
20:28 * Ali blankets with DashedRainbows and cuddles on

22:09 <Cepheid> *insert scene of extreme carnage and death here*
22:09 <Schism> Gotta love that Lord of Vermillion.
22:10 <Schism> Or were you a Priestess? Or a Rogue. I forget.
22:10 <Cepheid> I was everything.
22:11 * Schism ahs, yes.
22:11 * Schism hums, liked being a Supernovice.
22:14 <Schism> Admittedly, getting to Aldebaran so that I could become a Supernovice, less fun.
22:15 * Cepheid equips Schism with a high-rank sword and shield, and some bone armor. Closest approximation to Supernovice. Only he doesn't have to learn to bend his knees to sit.
22:18 <Schism> Does MHW even -have- a sit emote?
22:18 <Cepheid> I believe it does.
22:19 <Schism> Shall have to check.
22:19 <Cepheid> There should also be a fall-to-your-knees "why?" emote.
22:21 <Cepheid> You can also sit at tables in the gathering hall. Or on your bed in your room.
22:21 <Schism> Well, those I know! Though I think I had to -get- a room first, which is roughly equivalent to learning how to sit.
22:21 <Cepheid> Plus various spots in the Seliana house. You can even try to kill yourself with a hotspring in your house.
22:25 <Cepheid> Basically a "hold your breath underwater" minigame. At some point you can invite others to your house, so...
22:25 <Schism> Hah, cute.
22:25 <Cepheid> It works by rapid button presses.
22:26 <Cepheid> So sorta like the arm wrestling game in the gathering hall.
22:27 * Cepheid admires the explosive frogs on his house floor.
22:29 <Cepheid> The blue ones by my bed really help for those insomniac nights worrying about what monster will pound me into the ground the next day.
22:29 <Schism> I can imagine so. And the yellow ones are great if you just feel like not moving for a while.
22:31 <Cepheid> Ehhh... The zaps get to be annoying after a while.
22:31 <Schism> I just fought Kirin. Trust me, I know.
22:33 <Cepheid> Time for meds.
22:39 <Schism> Hm, edit vouchers.
22:39 <Schism> Much like a Fantasia, though, I'm probably never gonna use them.
22:41 <Cepheid> Funny thing. Those vouchers are only needed for extreme changes apparently.
22:41 <Schism> I do see that you can talk to the Housekeeper to change hairstyle and makeup.
22:41 <Cepheid> You can change hair, facial hair, makeup and the like for free.
22:42 * Schism sets up honey for the harvests.
22:42 <Schism> Gotta keep all those mega potions.
22:42 * Ali licks on Schism
22:43 * Schism pats the Ali, and provides a plush Kirin.
22:44 * Ali yays as its Autumn Blaze and snuggles it with her Twi plushie
22:44 *** Quits: Dranae (kacyr@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
22:44 <Schism> Hum. 6* quest... probably would want 4 people to take down Zorah Magdalos.
22:44 <Schism> Though solo is possible.
22:44 <Cepheid> You can do it solo, but yeah, it is a good idea to SOS. You will get people to help you, guaranteed.
22:45 <Schism> I have no doubts.
22:45 <Cepheid> Zorah quests are random after the assigned quest is done.
22:45 <Cepheid> So getting the materials is... Yeah.
22:46 <Schism> Is it significantly harder than the original quest?
22:47 <Schism> I know that Mr. Spiky Boi actually has to be driven off, and won't just disappear on you.
22:47 <Cepheid> You mean the canyon one? No.
22:47 <Schism> This one's in the Everstream, it says.
22:49 <Cepheid> Yeah it is a bit different. You immediately go onto his back. Destroy magmacores. Other than that the rest tends to play out much the same. Only you get a dragonator.
22:49 *** Quits: Surreal_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone) (Quit: The only things I need are books, friends and IRC. And books.)
22:49 <Schism> Always nice being able to hit it for... some percentage of its HP.
22:49 <Schism> Hum. Wanna join me on it?
22:50 <Cepheid> Sure. Gimme a few minutes though.
22:50 <Schism> Sure, I'll poke around and see what armour I can make.
22:52 <Cepheid> I got about an hour or two before the meds make me loopier than fruit loops.
22:52 <Schism> Kaykay. Should be plenty of time.
22:53 <Cepheid> ID?
22:53 <Schism> Hmm. Think I should make the Bone high-rank armour? I'm not sure how well it'll compare to the Guardian, but it's not bad.
22:53 <Cepheid> It's a good start, yeah.
22:53 <Schism> +ez?u7LGthBL
22:53 <Cepheid> Regardless of what some players say, the Guardian armor is not be-all-end-all. There are better armors.
22:53 <Schism> Oh, I know this.
22:53 <Schism> Especially when it comes to elemental defense of various types.
22:54 <Cepheid> You'd be amazed at how stupid players are with regards to that.
22:54 <Schism> Bone armor's resistance to Thunder will be helpful against Kirin next time.
22:54 <Schism> Think I'll go with... the alpha set.
23:06 * DashedRainbows noms on sugar cubes cause horse

23:20 <Cepheid> Huh. Disconnected from the server. Rarity, that.
23:21 <Schism> Same.
23:21 <Cepheid> That's not a good sign then. o3o
23:21 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's not explicitly letting me connect or search for sessions now.
23:22 <Schism> I suppose that the event caused a server crash due to too many people.
23:22 <Cepheid> Oh.
23:22 <Cepheid> Steam disconnected.
23:22 <Cepheid> Looks like Steam is down.
23:22 <Schism> ... huh.
23:22 <Schism> That's new.
23:23 <Cepheid> Ah, there it goes.
23:23 <Cepheid> Odd.
23:23 <Schism> I'll create a new session.
23:23 <Schism> Gotta get those shiny, shiny scales.
23:25 <Cepheid> Session ID?
23:25 <Schism> v7A3eDRZ=6hM
23:40 <Lumindia> Become as Gods!
23:47 * Cepheid throws Lumindia at the nearest Bazelgeuse.
23:48 <Schism> Hi there, Zorah Magdalos Gem. o3o

23:50 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/T8iQhST.jpg Handler's expansion appreciation festival outfit, Schism.
23:51 <Cepheid> For some reason, the expansion's theme is more "Alien" than "Weird"
23:51 <Schism> Rather stylish, though.
23:51 <Schism> Hm. That got me enough mats for... I think the whole Zorah Set.
23:51 <Schism> Now the question is, do I go for the baseline abilities, or for the gem capacity?
23:52 <Schism> Either way, that +FireRes is going to be a godsend.
23:52 <Cepheid> No idea. What I do know is that I am wandering off to bed now.
23:53 <Schism> Good plan. Those drugs hit hard.
23:53 <Schism> Anyway, rest well!
23:53 <Cepheid> Not sleeping just yet. Just laying down. I'm... My head's flopping around like the wiggler hat.
23:53 <Schism> Hum. Windproof, Bombardier, and Blast Attack are all useful enough that I can justify getting the Alpha set for now.
23:54 <Schism> Aw, darnit. I need 4 more ridges.
23:56 <Schism> Hum. I can deal with 30 fewer defense points in exchange for fire resist. Everything is fire.
23:59 * Cepheid introduces Schism to "Respond to SOS", targeting Zorah Magdaros, high rank.
23:59 <Schism> Not a bad idea. I think Bazelgeuse might eat me, though.
