00:15 <Ali> Cepheid, cats never sleep long enough
00:16 <Cepheid> 3/4th the entire day, yes.
00:21 * Ali rolls around Cepheid as unicorn can't think of what to be doing.
00:44 <Schism> So. Just bolstered a local author by saying, "Yes, I know, you're as bat-guano insane as the rest of us."

01:10 <Schism> Well.
01:10 <Schism> A source for cats, whom as we know make everything worse.
01:12 <Schism> I also pointed her towards James Nicoll, and so I'm starting to wonder if I might have perpetrated a future murder of some sort.
01:25 <Ali> Schism, what do you mean a new one? What else did they rando?
01:31 <Schism> Oh, I meant a new seed.
01:32 <Schism> Just to play it, to relax.
01:36 <Ali> Relax has been...rough
01:37 * Schism flops and just looks at Ali, with dead-set eyes. "Grrf."
01:38 <Schism> LTTP randomizer? ._.
01:39 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/xP5-iIeKXE8
01:39 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
01:39 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Life in life
01:40 <Ali> Schism, you know I've never really played LTTP
01:41 * Schism leans in, and squints at the words, but they don't make any sense.
01:41 <Schism> Would you... like to?
01:43 <Schism> I can't be the only one who'd like to see Ali blind-play LTTP.
01:43 <Ali> See there's a few problems, first I can't stream
01:43 <Ali> Two I don't own LTTP
01:44 <Schism> #2 is a terrible, terrible concern.
01:44 <Schism> #1, more concerning. Bleh.
01:45 <Ali> Hell I can't even emulate a DS
01:45 <Ali> The game just lags like crazy
01:45 * Schism eyebrows. "A DS, you say."
01:46 <Schism> Quite the issue, a DS. Please, give the SNES a try.
01:47 <Ali> Still the first issue remails
01:47 <Ali> Remains
01:48 <Ali> I don't stream, don't know how, don't know what's needed. The only thing I can use is steam and that's a horrible streaming platform.
01:48 * Schism lets out a long, protracted sigh. "Morals. Very well, play those games you own in physical state!"
01:48 <Schism> There are some useful tools, at least...
01:49 <Schism> Steam is terrible at streaming, tis true.

01:50 <Ali> I doubt it would be worth it, and again the only game I feel like I'm semi good at is Mega Man
01:50 <Schism> Much more so than Steam's little efforts.
01:50 <Schism> Still think that Ali should play Rabi-Ribi. :<
01:51 <Ali> Money what is that?
01:51 <Schism> I know...

04:13 <Schism> Finwe: Epic Games Store has a copy of the PC version of Carcassonne free for snagging.
04:16 <Schism> Also, Ticket to Ride, which is not far removed therefrom.
04:19 <Ali> I am terrible at both games
04:20 <Ali> But I don't have an Epic store nor do I really feel like mucking with one.
04:21 <Schism> Possibly for the best. The Epic Games Store is a free storefront, much like Steam, but it's much like Steam in the first year, when Half-Life 2 was released. In short, a broken buggy broken pile of bits.
04:21 <Schism> But if you wanna play those games online, and don't mind the mess of bits, it's a good source for both of them right now.
04:22 <Schism> Also, Ali, it's a good way to beat me at both those games. :<
04:23 <Schism> Alternately, Ali, would you like to blast me with bazookas and blow me up with grenades?
04:23 * Ali doesn't own worms nor is she good at it
04:25 <Schism> I meant Hedgewars, the free version.

06:48 * Ali wants GW to make Nids Great Again
06:49 * Golden pats Ali.
06:49 <Ali> They just don't live up to their lore
06:50 <Golden> Probably to make them manageable to actually play against without it being a 3 v 1
06:51 <Ali> No, Nids suck on the tabletop
06:51 <Golden> Hm
06:51 <Ali> They have no aura buffs and are very predictable
06:51 <Ali> If they have a Swarmlord, they're gonna fling Genestealers at you
06:51 <Golden> True
06:52 <Ali> Nids are just so one dimentional its not funny
06:52 * Jackie brushes Ali's tail

06:53 * PrincessRainbows licks Jackie and Ali a lot
06:53 <Golden> What would you suggest then?
06:53 <Ali> Nids only buff certain Nids
06:53 <Ali> I don't know
06:53 <Ali> Its not an easy way to make Nids balanced
06:53 * Jackie rubs PrincessRainbows' chin
06:53 <Golden> Yeah
06:54 <Ali> Psychic Awakening gave Nids some toys
06:54 <Ali> But its just not enough
06:54 <Ali> Even if you could have Gaunts with -3AP talons
06:54 <Ali> You still have super fragile units and they get torn up by shooting and overwatch
06:55 <Ali> And Nids used to be a mind game
06:55 <Ali> When they could outnumber you almost 4:1
06:55 <Golden> Hmm
06:56 <Ali> Really Nids got hurt by the removal of the charge bonus
06:56 <Ali> Used to be charging units got +1 attack
06:56 * PrincessRainbows barks and bags for sugar cubes at Jackie
06:56 <Ali> This turned Hormaguant blobs into some danagerous wound blobs due to spitting out so many attacks
06:57 * Jackie puts a sugar cube near PrincessRainbows' mouth
06:57 <Ali> But losing 30 attacks really hurt them and they're just not able to deal with Overwatch either with their crappy 6+ save
06:58 * PrincessRainbows yays
06:58 <Ali> Even them going down to five points a model from ten way back in 3rd hasn't given them any life either due to almost everythign being cheaper as well
07:00 * Jackie nuzzles PrincessRainbows around
07:00 <Golden> Maybe increase the number of wounds they can do?
07:01 <Golden> Like make them glass cannons in a way instead of just....glass
07:03 <Ali> That would mean increase their attacks
07:03 <Ali> Frankly they should've given them that 3rd attack to make them stick out
07:03 <Golden> True.
07:03 <Ali> But the Devilgaunt just makes a Horm look stupid now
07:03 <Ali> Devilgaunt is a Gaunt with the Devourer
07:04 <Ali> Which shoots 3 times at an 18 inch range
07:04 <Ali> While nice, its just not effective, cause you're in rapid fire range of just about everybody else
07:04 <Ali> And they aren't running around with 6+ saves
07:05 <Golden> Yeah
07:06 <Ali> A full squad of them pop off a ton of shots, but fold faster than a guy folding pizza boxes at a crafting challenge
07:13 <Golden> Whoa. I'm not really a master on the nids. So hmm...

11:56 * ConfusionRift is now a space heater. 0_0
11:57 <ConfusionRift> I regret going through tech videos.
11:59 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:59 <Cepheid> Given what you described above, I'd regret it too.
12:00 <ConfusionRift> Nah. It's more of me getting way too many ideas.
12:02 <Cepheid> Oh?
12:02 <ConfusionRift> The guys were able to get the project going... as ridiculous as it sounded. It's not their first run using this weird A/C that was cannibalized just for PC use.
12:03 <ConfusionRift> It's more of me getting PC ideas for some builds. Alas... I can't be doing this anymore. Both PCs I got are in working order (well, mostly), and I shouldn't be throwing away money like that on something it's gonna likely be shelved.
12:06 <ConfusionRift> The workstation has a slight snag I never mentioned. The CPU cooling fan blocks a RAM slot by less than 1mm, but just enough to cause stress on the stick. So I have the sit the fan slightly higher than it should. Cooling is going well still. Ran MHW for an hour, and the most I got was 60C.
12:07 <ConfusionRift> It's getting humid and warm here.
12:07 <Cepheid> Ah, that old problem. Yeah.
12:07 <Cepheid> I have that issue with the server I run, in fact.
12:09 * Cepheid noms oatmeal.
12:10 <ConfusionRift> The HTPC though... there's not much I can do. I'm running a hot setup, on basically a furnace. The lowest I can get it to is 73C. I don't use it much, and the plan was for it to be an emulation box, which does greatly.
12:11 <Cepheid> Why is it a hot setup? Lack of airflow?
12:12 <ConfusionRift> Ryzen 5 2400G, on a mini ITX small form factor box.
12:12 <Cepheid> Oh. So yeah. Lack of airflow.
12:12 * ConfusionRift nods.
12:14 <ConfusionRift> The only thing I can think of is getting either a larger case, or getting an SFF style ATX power supply.
12:14 <Cepheid> Gods damn, why is it so cold in here this morning? What's the temp outside..?
12:15 <ConfusionRift> Funny how it's getting hot again after the cold fronts we've been getting.
12:15 <Cepheid> -6C/-8C. Doesn't explain why it is so cold. Unless my dad had his bedroom window open overnight again.
12:18 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, not even gonna think about the monitor issue, since I found out it may be a problem with the setup in general.
12:20 <Cepheid> One monitor takes priority, right?
12:21 <ConfusionRift> Yep. And apparently, the DP monitor becomes inactive, so all the settings move the the priority monitor on HDMI.
12:21 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, my system is the opposite.
12:22 <Cepheid> It's not the monitor itself as far as I understand. It is something about the card and/or drivers.
12:22 <ConfusionRift> They revert once awaken, but everything still moves to one side, which is kinda annoying.
12:22 <ConfusionRift> That was a possibility as well, yeah.
12:23 <ConfusionRift> But I already updated, and checked the card. It shouldn't be happening, unless it was the DP and Windows issue.
12:24 <Cepheid> Oh. You mean when the display goes to sleep or is turned off. How odd.
12:24 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and when I got back from work, the monitor on HDMI was asleep, and the DP one had no display and not on standby.
12:27 <ConfusionRift> Another weird thing. If I shut off the DP one manually, it disconnects as a display, till I turn it back on. The HDMI one doesn't do this.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> Since the update and the check didn't fix it, it may just be an inherent issue with DP in general, which I have no idea on how to fix.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> I already tried all solutions out there... except the regedit one. I don't like messing with the registry.
12:31 <Cepheid> Sounds like the DP monitor doesn't communicate with any connected devices when in standby or turned off, as a power saving measure
12:32 <ConfusionRift> There might be a setting that I can change, but I just can't find any on the monitor options.
12:38 * Cepheid cracks his neck and back.
12:48 <ConfusionRift> The more I see the weapons in MH, the more I miss the older weapons. They were cool looking.
12:49 <Cepheid> There is that issue yeah.
12:50 <Cepheid> The variety of armor appearances is a bit finicky too.
12:50 <Cepheid> 'S why I plan to resume MH4U in the interim while the lot of you catch up to Master Rank.
12:51 <Cepheid> I want to see if I can pull off soloing G-Rank. Expand my skills where I am weak and such.
12:54 <Cepheid> Though I will be taking some time to abuse Kulve Taroth at some point today.
12:55 <Cepheid> Before the siege closes off.
12:56 <ConfusionRift> Okay, I don't remember long sword being this ridiculous.
12:56 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:57 <Cepheid> Don't forget. Iceborne adds new features to each weapon.
12:59 <Cepheid> Hum. Coffee. Then I'll hop onto World to do the siege.
13:06 * Finwe returns from the hospital.
13:06 <Finwe> Nothing wrong with my retinae.
13:07 <Cepheid> Good to hear. Mine are the same, despite diabetes.
13:07 <Cepheid> Up-until-recently-untreated-diabetes, as well.
13:08 <Finwe> Oh, when were you diagnosed?
13:08 <Cepheid> I was diagnosed a few years back. Technically somewhere between full onset diabetes and pre-diabetes.
13:09 <Cepheid> But for all intents and purposes, I may as well have a full diabetes diagnosis, especially since I am predisposed towards it anyways.
13:10 <Finwe> Would that be type 2 then?
13:10 <Cepheid> I believe so.
13:11 <Cepheid> Both my parents have diabetes, which itself genetically predisposes me towards it. It was all but guaranteed.
13:12 <Cepheid> While I am glad that mouse movement has no effect on the camera and such in MHWorld, I really do wish that Capcom would do something about the sluggishness of the UI cursor.
13:18 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Morning Brainwashing - EQUESTRIA 58 - Deliverance [ http://tinyurl.com/tm2qdtl ]
13:18 <Cepheid> Oh, good.
13:18 <Cepheid> Like a Moth to the flame lasts for another few weeks.
13:20 <Cepheid> I find it hilarious how nowadays, my system's performance bottleneck is no longer the RAM or CPU.
13:21 <Finwe> What then? Disk access? Network access? GPU?
13:22 <Cepheid> GPU.
13:22 <Cepheid> Disk access isn't an issue. Running NVMe, network's also not an issue. Using gigabit ethernet to the router, even though it's excessive for my needs.
13:23 <ConfusionRift> I know you're running an RTX 2060, but what was the CPU?
13:23 <Cepheid> I feel like that first comma is wrong. Thinking it'd be a case where a semicolon might have been used? *Isn't an English grammar expert*
13:23 <Cepheid> AMD Ryzen 7 2700X.
13:24 <Cepheid> At the moment, with World at highest settings, 1080p, the GPU hovers around mmm 90% or so. Meanwhile, the CPU hovers at 33% across the board.
13:24 <Cepheid> One of the few games I've ever seen use all the cores on my system.
13:25 <Cepheid> Guess one of the optimizations they made was with multithreading. Probably why there was such a hit for people with low thread/core counts.
13:25 * Cepheid has an octa-core, so 8 physical cores, 2 threads per core, so 16 threads altogether.
13:25 * Cepheid goes off on a quick hunt. Will BRB.
13:26 <ConfusionRift> I would check the Ryzen drivers. I was having issues with my 2400G, with some display conflicts on early drivers.
13:26 <Cepheid> Oh, I'm not having issues with CPU load.
13:26 <Cepheid> The CPU's being used just fine.
13:27 <ConfusionRift> There really shouldn't be a bottleneck.

13:29 * ConfusionRift sees some odd system behavior... and ignores it.
13:30 <ConfusionRift> I keep killing monster by accident, using the slinger. ;_;
13:30 <Cepheid> The bottleneck is the GPU.
13:30 <Cepheid> It's being fully-loaded.
13:32 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, maybe the CPU is a bit overkill for it and just flooding the GPU.
13:33 <Cepheid> Nah. Bottlenecks mean that not enough information is getting to it.
13:33 <Cepheid> Or, in this case, the GPU is simply overloaded with work, so it can't process anymore.
13:38 <ConfusionRift> The reason why I mention it is because, technically speaking, the 2060 should be somewhat better than the 1070ti. I'm running an i7 8700 and a GTX 1070ti. I get 65% load on the CPU, and about 25% on the GPU.
13:39 <Cepheid> Are you running windowed mode or full-screen?
13:41 <Cepheid> Windowed full-screen under Windows 10 results in incorrect GPU usage percentages in task manager.
13:41 <Cepheid> To get a better idea as to GPU usage, you need MSI Afterburner, or using dedicated fullscreen.
13:42 <Cepheid> Hum. Interesting, even doing that I'm still seeing 20% under task manager. Wonder what Windows considers "load"
13:43 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
13:43 <ConfusionRift> I think it's on borderless window mode.
13:44 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/Gw6F3Wy.jpg
13:45 <Cepheid> I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I run everything under a non-privileged account.
13:45 * Cepheid wonders what he'd need to run MHWorld at 144Hz.
13:45 <Cepheid> Let's find out! o3o
13:47 <ConfusionRift> Huh, going to the options reduces memory usage. I guess it halts rendering offscreen objects.
13:49 <Cepheid> Technically the main menu doesn't use all that much memory or CPU to begin with.
13:50 <Cepheid> By the way, in the past I mentioned I was doing 1080p@60 with highest settings. Turns out I wasn't. Game wasn't using the HR texture pack.
13:51 <Cepheid> Looks like at 1080p, highest settings, full GPU load...
13:51 <Cepheid> I get.... 95 FPS.
13:51 <Cepheid> Averaging to 90-95.
13:52 <Cepheid> This is at the main menu though, let's jump to Seliana.
13:52 <Cepheid> Anywhere between 65 and 75, looks like.
13:52 <Cepheid> Right then, let's drop to lowest settings. o3o
13:52 <Cepheid> While maintaining resolution. Don't allow the auto-scaling.
13:53 <Cepheid> Right off the bat, get 144 at the main menu. Mouse finally feels responsive.
13:53 <Cepheid> Interesting, I have a bottleneck somewhere that's not the GPU now.
13:54 <Cepheid> In Seliana, I'm getting variable framerate between 120 and 144, but the GPU is only at 74% load.
13:54 <Cepheid> Which probably means it's the RAM.
13:54 <Cepheid> Or possibly the bus.
13:54 <Cepheid> It's not the CPU. That's at anywhere between 50% and 65% load.
13:55 * Cepheid enables reporting of individual thread load.
13:55 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm seeing high usage on individual cores here and there, but none are hitting full load.
13:57 <Cepheid> Full boost is enabled. 3.9Ghz with all CPUs being driven hard.
14:01 <Cepheid> Bus usage is showing 5% load. So it's RAM.
14:02 <Cepheid> Though, when I turn on MSI's "* limit" values, I'm seeing the GPU report a voltage limit.
14:05 <Cepheid> However, reports indicate that this is normal.
14:06 <ConfusionRift> Bad! (poof) POOCH! (poof)
14:07 <Cepheid> Oh, by the by. If you want largest gold crown Dodogama, and smallest gold crown Azure Rathalos... Do the USJ event quest.
14:09 <Cepheid> In fact, I'd advise it if you want the Azure Star Lord armor *NOW*. It ends tomorrow.
14:10 <Finwe> One does not simply need the Azure Star Lord armour.
14:10 <Cepheid> Interesting. Astera uses more power than Seliana.
14:11 <Cepheid> I would have expected the other way around, due to the snow stuff.
14:12 <ConfusionRift> Then again, water tends to eat up more in terms of rendering.
14:13 <Cepheid> This is looking away from the water.
14:14 <Cepheid> Hum. Volumetric fog actually has a visible effect this time.
14:14 <Cepheid> Guess they made more use of it for Iceborne.
14:15 <Cepheid> At highest settings, 1080p, I get an average of 65-70. This includes using the HR Texture Pack, which the game advises I do not use because it causes my memory usage to spike beyond the limit of the GPU memory.
14:16 <Cepheid> I may just stick with this monitor for MHWorld. It comes with a benefit for me.
14:16 <Cepheid> Even just a few frames above 60 seems to resolve the sluggish mouse cursor for me.
14:17 <Cepheid> But yeah, it seems that currently, the limiting factor is the GPU and RAM.
14:18 <Cepheid> Can't do much about either. Replacing them would be costly.

14:19 * Cepheid goes about adjusting colour for monitor.
14:20 <ConfusionRift> Guh... those two... it's gonna be a long one. Probably the last hunt of the day.
14:21 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;
14:22 <ConfusionRift> He a biggen!
14:24 <Cepheid> They aren't as bad as it looks.
14:24 <Cepheid> Bring fire and blast resistance, you'll be fine.
14:25 <Cepheid> ... Granted, my argument would be more valid if I wasn't overpowered by using Master Rank armor.
14:27 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
14:27 <ConfusionRift> Dodo is out. he was just big, is all. As for Los... hmmm.
14:37 <Heartbreak> Screaming.
14:38 <ConfusionRift> Who gave this Rathalos coffee?!
14:38 <Lumindia> it's The Great Hunt(Extreme)
14:38 * Cepheid blahs. "Because of my new diabetic meds, I need a new prescription for my glasses."
14:38 <Lumindia> :D
14:42 <Cepheid> I find it interesting that people INSIST that TN displays have worse colour reproduction than non-TN displays.
14:42 <Cepheid> Because I find the colours tend to be more vibrant.
14:43 <Lumindia> vibrant =/= accurate
14:44 <Cepheid> Perhaps. But "accurate" seems all muddied and washed out.
14:45 <ConfusionRift> Guuuh... I have to at least do 5 runs of this quest, so I can at least get the 5 gems for each piece.
14:45 <Cepheid> What timezone are you in?
14:46 <ConfusionRift> GMT.
14:46 <Cepheid> Seriously? You're in the GMT timezone?
14:47 * ConfusionRift sighs. "The hell is wrong with me?"
14:47 <Cepheid> Hmm?
14:47 <ConfusionRift> Mountain Time (-7:00)
14:48 <Cepheid> Ah, heh.
14:48 <Cepheid> Right, so...
14:48 <Cepheid> You actually have two days then.
14:48 <Cepheid> I didn't read the date right, first off.
14:49 <Cepheid> The USJ events end on 2020/02/13, at 15:59 UTC-8:00. Which means you got until 2020/02/13, 16:59, I believe.
14:50 <Cepheid> This is your daily reminder to check your tree box.
14:50 <Cepheid> And make sure it's fertilized.
14:50 * Cepheid nearly lost all his fertilizer buffs.
14:50 <ConfusionRift> Yeah... still can at least get those gems later. I really should crash soon.
14:50 <Cepheid> Yeah, sleep is important man.
14:51 <Cepheid> If I'm up tomorrow when yer on, and you want to rush through the USJ quests to get those gems, give me a call. I'll assist.
14:53 <ConfusionRift> I might, since I don't think I'll be getting that armor tonight. Even as common as those parts are, I know I'll snag somewhere.
14:54 <Cepheid> The only things you need are the gems. You will always have access to the armor, so long as you have the gems.
14:55 <ConfusionRift> Got one, just need 4.
14:55 * Finwe tucks ConfusionRift into bed and sings a lullaby.
14:56 <ConfusionRift> I'm not tired. I'm not- (snores)
14:56 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, sleep time. Laters!

15:04 * Cepheid tries to sharpen weapon. Gets hit by Azure Rathy firing a fireball. Moves to better location, tries to sharpen weapon. Gets run down by Gastodon. Moves to a better location, tries to sharpen weapon. Cue Azure Rathalos flying itself across the room to poison him.
15:11 <Cepheid> ... BGGGG rewards for an anjanath. Only note of interest is that it has a 20-minute time limit. .... .... What's the catch, I wonder?
