00:00 <ADragonDreaming> "No sir, for legal reasons, you cannot backdate a contract."

00:00 <Schism> See, the magical three words there are "for legal reasons".  I'm learning quite a lot about phrasing in this job.

00:02 <Schism> It's like using evil powers for good, because that kind of thought-terminating phrase is technically not the sort of thing I should be doing to my fellow human being.

00:04 <Schism> Of course, by discussing this, it helps some other folks here learn how to recognize them and circumvent that concern.

00:05 <Schism> It's rather telling that nobody's ever asked me, "Wait.  What regulations?"

00:07 <Schism> Meanwhile, if I said, "Your billing address on your card doesn't match what you provided us on our website, a website which only ships to the US, a website which only offers the option for US billing addresses, the US website you're trying to order from.  That website?"  I'd get dinged.

00:08 <Schism> It's a peculiar elision.  

00:13 <Schism> Ah well.  We all complain about the things we do, sometimes even when they make our jobs easier.

00:20 <Cepheid> Right.  I've been working on various things related to my game for about 5-6 hours now.  I should probably stop.

00:22 <Schism> That's a good chunk of the day, aye.

00:23 <Cepheid> On top of that, I have to take into consideration that I am still sick.

00:23 <Cepheid> I likely won't be able to go work-work-work again for a few more days.

00:25 <Cepheid> Though now I'm not sure what to do.

00:27 <Schism> Replay an old game?  One you're familiar with already, that is.

00:36 <Schism> Not a bad choice, an aRPG.

00:48 <Schism> I think I might just do an LTTP randomizer.

01:04 <Schism> Okay, this is worrisome.  Gloves, flippers, no sword.

01:06 <Schism> And boots.

01:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Them's Fightin Herds Official Soundtrack Now on Steam  [ http://tinyurl.com/rgf5f5r ]

01:10 <Schism> Glove 2, still no sword.

01:10 <Schism> Got the bow, tho.

01:11 <Cepheid> I had heard, given the expansions, that the devs rebalanced the difficulty, but this is nuts.

01:15 <PinkieShy> I have a sudden crave for chinese food..

01:18 <Schism> Kakariko Village annoys me this time around.

01:18 <Schism> Mirror, ice rod...

01:19 <Cepheid> I'm going the glass cannon route.  Fast attacks, cleaving, high dodge.

01:21 <Cepheid> This is a slightly tricky build to do, due to a balance change made a few patches ago.  Namely, the minimum chance to be hit was made 60%.  Meaning through stats, your maximum dodge chance is 40%.

01:22 <Schism> Sahasrala has... the Cane of Somaria.  Okay.

01:22 <Cepheid> However, my chance to dodge can be improved through other ways.  Nightblade has Veil of Shadow.  It's an aura that reduces the Offensive Ability of enemies around me in a 3.5 meter range, as well as their general speed.

01:23 <Cepheid> Offensive Ability is used in determining hit chance, so...

01:25 <PinkieShy> Maybe I'll order chinese food come Saturday :(

01:25 <PinkieShy> Since I have no way there until then..

01:30 * Cepheid looks at his shared storage for components. Sees he has 99 roiled blood. "I think I can spare a few of these for usage."

01:35 <Schism> Ugh.  I hate how the lamp is usually the lynchpin of these runs.

01:40 * Cepheid brings up the wiki for devotion points.

01:42 <Schism> Okay, game.  Moon pearl get, now I can get things going.

01:51 <Cepheid> Right, I can pick a second class now.  I need one that synergizes well with Nightblade..

01:54 <Schism> Hype Cave has...

01:54 <Schism> Sword x1, Bottle, and Shovel. I'll take it.

01:54 <Schism> FINALLY.  A sword.  At last.

02:02 <Schism> Holy crow, the Temple of Darkness actually held the hammer.

02:02 <Schism> I was wondering.

02:07 <Schism> Boots, good gloves, flippers, moon pearl.  Starting to wonder if the lamp exists at all.

02:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2070 [ http://tinyurl.com/v54dcuf ]

02:08 <Schism> Well, got the Master Sword, may as well obliterate Agahnim.

02:08 <Schism> Wait, I can't, no lamp.  :<

02:10 * Cepheid sells the useless gear he has in the shared storage, spends it on 100 potions.

02:11 <Schism> Thieves' Town is the easiest and best chance I have right now, let's see how that goes.

02:11 <Cepheid> Heh.

02:12 * Cepheid decides to bust up that random box he just walked by. Out pops a rare item.

02:17 <Cepheid> Oh look, an epic item I can't use.

02:21 *** Joins: Reia_Hope (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony)

02:23 <Schism> Ohey. A dungeon I can't complete because I don't have enough healing.

02:23 <Cepheid> Level 20 is gonna be when this game breaks free.  Level 30 is when it goes out the door and slams onto the ground.

02:26 <Schism> Alright.  If this game isn't going to give me a bug-catching net, I'll just potion it up.

02:35 <Schism> Huh.  Lamp get.

02:35 <Schism> Lamp gotten in the lair of Blind the Thief.  Heh.

02:37 * Cepheid imagines the leader of these undead watching his flaming abominations walk around. They set everything they walk close to on fire, and then when the corpses finally degrade into uselessness, they explode. ".... Who's idea was this again?"

02:38 <Schism> Well, that was pointless.  Outside of the lamp, which opens up half the game.

02:38 <Schism> Blind = 300 rupees.

02:45 <Cepheid> I have no words for this encounter.

02:45 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-8q0glj.dynamic.sonic.net)

02:45 <Schism> Armos knights dropped one bomb.

02:45 <Cepheid> The game has spawned two arachnid heros.  One spews electricity, the other spews poison.

02:45 <Cepheid> Both of them regularly summon small minions.

02:47 <Ali> Why does Factorio troll me to death when I try single player.

02:47 <Ali> Map starts out looking just fine, no bugs inside the initail FoW

02:47 <Ali> Get a radar up and about 2 hexes away are 6 separate bug bases with 3 or more bases.

02:49 <Cepheid> ... Totally not worth the four deaths.

02:51 <Schism> Hum.  Piece of heart from the catfish pond.  Eh.

02:51 * Schism should just do the three basic dungeons and then nap. It's late.

02:52 <Schism> Or just nap in general.

02:53 <Schism> With the lamp, I don't think it's really necessary to beat all those dungeons before Ganon...

02:54 <Schism> Though I intentionally wiped the spoiler list, so I'unno.

02:57 <Schism> Old guy under the bridge gives... one single rupee!

02:59 <Cepheid> I don't know what's better.  Watching enemies explode into a cloud of red, leaving nothing behind...

02:59 <Cepheid> Or watching enemies arc high into the sky.

03:01 * Cepheid smashes a jug. A pair of pants pop out.

03:08 <Ali> A DECENT PAIR OF PAAAANNNNNTTTTSSSSS

03:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Comic Dub Compilation #59 [ http://tinyurl.com/sxno3ez ]

03:08 <Cepheid> Nah, they weren't even all that good.

03:10 <Schism> 10 arrows from the second boss, Ali.  :<

03:10 <Ali> Better than just one Schism

03:26 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/td8wdri2qqg41

03:29 * Ali cooos all over Cepheid

03:29 <Schism> Anyhoo.  that's late enough for me.

03:30 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I woke up late.  So I won't be sleeping for some time.  o3o

03:31 <Cepheid> Though I will because Im gonna drug myself.  Need to be up early on Tuesday.

03:44 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/afe4y3cg1pg41

03:50 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeJaMO4TThE

03:50 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

03:50 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Cute Black Kitten Loves Us | Black Panther Kitten

03:51 <Schism> Of course that's just a smol black cat.

03:54 <Cepheid> I can tell, just by looking at that cat, that it's not a feral cat living in a park.

03:54 <Cepheid> The coat is too clean.  That is someone's cat.

03:55 <Schism> Aye.

03:55 <Schism> At least it's cute.

03:55 <Schism> Gaaaah.  I don't want to go out tomorrow morning.  It's going to be... painful.

03:55 <Cepheid> If it was a feral cat, it's coat would be much more ragged looking.

03:56 <Cepheid> That said, that cat is practically the spitting image of Spitfire.

03:57 <Schism> Up to and including its affection, I take it.

03:57 <Cepheid> Definitely affection.  Playfulness... eeeehhhh.

03:57 <Cepheid> That reminds me, I need to use my lego set and make a small remote-controlled robot.

04:00 <Schism> For now, I fear that I must depart that I get enough sleep for tomorrow's work session... uergh.

04:04 <Cepheid> Sleep well.

06:55 * Heartbreak slips away...

11:10 <ConfusionRift> Man, it's getting loud in here! | "Sure is. Good thing we only have to worry about two things. Rathalos, Rathalos, Rathian, and pickle?" | Pickle? (Deviljo roars the other monster away) NOPE! All of my NOPE!

11:10 * PrincessRainbows boops ConfusionRift with her blankie

11:11 * Schism plays a '60s rock song while ConfusionRift runs away.

11:11 <ConfusionRift> Tired, PrincessRainbows?

11:12 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, having two Rathalos was bad enough. Then Rathian jumps to the party, making it a mess. And THEN Deviljo crashes it. Almost carted me there.

11:13 <Schism> Dung podding the Rathian might have been a thing.

11:14 <Schism> Still, with the addition of Interrupting Pickle, I would have noped on out too.

11:14 <PrincessRainbows> In a way. I think I hate my profession and I'm don't even have a job yet.

11:15 <ConfusionRift> I normally don't carry a turd with me... maybe I should, with the rat's nests I have been jumping into.

11:15 <Schism> Dungpods come in stacks of 10, and it's probably worth tuning the ancient tree to turn them out.

11:16 <ConfusionRift> PrincessRainbows: It happens. One jumps to a profession in mind, and then find it's not what they were expecting, or the learn to dislike it.

11:17 <ConfusionRift> Also, now I know for sure that you can here Deviljo waltzing in the forest while in the hub.

11:18 <PrincessRainbows> Just gotta hang in there. Either way I'm tired

11:18 <Schism> "Deviljho has been spotted!  Time to go out and kill it!"  --the Handler, when I haven't even found Deviljho in story.

11:19 * PrincessRainbows flops on ConfusionRift and curls back up

11:19 <ConfusionRift> Well, it seems you have to unlock that. Oddly enough, I dealt with Deviljo before dealing with the elder dragons in my other file.

11:19 * ConfusionRift puts a blanket in PrincessRainbows, and lightly pats.

11:20 <ConfusionRift> I miss the old Rath bowguns.

11:21 * Schism considers what to put on these breaded chicken breasts. "A bit of mustard and zucchini relish is an option. So is smothering them in sweet 'n' sour sauce."

11:22 <ConfusionRift> Mmmmm, sweet and sour... (gurgles)

11:22 <Schism> Better yet, it's spicy sweet and sour.

11:22 <Schism> Really, I don't know why I even brought it up, obviously that's the right choice, as I'm bereft of teriyaki sauce right now.

11:23 <ConfusionRift> Spicy? ...hmm, I suppose.

11:23 <Schism> It's only a little bit spicy.  Just enough in the way of peppers to add a bite without compromising the flavour.

11:24 <ConfusionRift> I'm fine with that kind of spicy. Not the kind that is nothing BUT burning.

11:25 <ConfusionRift> They do it a lot in here, and it's upsetting.

11:26 <Schism> While it'll wake you up, what's the point of spicing food at all if you're not going to enjoy it?

11:31 * PrincessRainbows sniffs the ConfusionRift who smells like horse and falls asleep

11:34 <ConfusionRift> I dunno, man. People are weird.,

11:41 <ConfusionRift> Okay, gonna go to the Elder's Recess and look for the- why is Deviljo here?!

11:43 <Schism> o/` No matter where you go...

11:45 <Schism> 'Suicide by velocity' has a nice ring to it.  http://www.vexxarr.com/Vexxarr011020.gif

11:55 <ConfusionRift> That endemic researcher is so focused on the ants that she hasn't noticed the Dodogama waling in front of her.

12:06 <ConfusionRift> Okay, time to actually take out Deviljo... expect some carting.

12:36 <Schism> Deviljho's not an elder-- oh, of course he's not.

12:36 <Schism> I seriously thought he might have been.

12:39 <ConfusionRift> He never was. Previously, he was known as a food chain destroyer as well, but not to the pestering degree of now.

12:40 <ConfusionRift> There was a chance he would show up in random quests and areas, but wasn't to this freedom.

12:42 <ConfusionRift> "Well done, hunter! The food chain has been restored, and brought down one of the biggest threats for Astera. Good thing we don't have to see it ever again." | Yeah, about th- | "WHY WOULD YOU BRING IT HERE?! You maniac!!!" | (shrugs) Research?

12:43 <Schism> They should give more RP for capturing Deviljho.  :P

12:44 * ConfusionRift nods.

12:44 <ConfusionRift> And they should allow to capture elder dragons. But I can see why one can't.

12:48 * ConfusionRift was reminded of the "bad food". Glad that's no longer in the game.

18:10 <Cepheid> Heads up, ADragonDreaming, Schism, and anyone else playing MHWorld.  I'm putting it aside for the time being, to give you guys some time to catch up to Master Rank and such.  I don't want to get so far ahead that I trivialize stuff for you when you get there.  Thus, I'm basically "on call" for World hunting.

18:11 <Cepheid> And to satiate my need to mercilessly murder monsters enmass, I'm playing MHGU.

18:15 * PrincessRainbows bounces around Ali and giggles

18:18 <Ali> Hey Cepheid, what is this red engine thing up north for?

18:46 <Ali> Wish I had a nuke or arty to shoot this bug base, its a bit too close to my stone mining

18:59 * Cepheid goes to poke Netting Neopterons. "... 50 Bnahabra."

22:56 <Schism> This chill today...

22:56 *** Ali is now known as Ali|FNM

22:56 * Schism plays Oko at Ali.

22:56 * Ali|FNM taps Schism to twiddle herself

22:56 * Schism produces blue mana, so this is sensible.

23:19 * Cepheid flops back from groceries.

23:20 * Cepheid throws a Lagiacrus at Schism.

23:21 * Schism falls off the ship, and cannot be ressed.

23:22 <Cepheid> *Reward has decreased by 4700z!*

23:24 <Cepheid> It's a little tricky going from World to Generations Ultimate.  But, I must admit...

23:24 <Cepheid> It makes Generations/Generations Ultimate feel kind of like a "test bed" for certain things.

23:27 <Schism> I guess I can see that.  o3o;  World really made a LOT of things easier.  (And also made zoning flawless, which is SO NICE.)

23:28 <Cepheid> "Hold <Button> to carve everything" was implemented in it.  Palico mode introduced unlimited pick/bug net/etc for harvesting.  Fishing didn't change much, outside of being able to cast at a target location.  Some of the attacks of some of the MHWorld weapons are based off of some of the Hunter Arts(Or modified forms of them)

23:28 <Cepheid> That said, there were some regressions.

23:29 <Cepheid> I must admit, I have a preference for the vibrance of Old World compared to New World, now that I've gone back to it.  You also can't play as Palicos in World.

23:29 <Cepheid> Despite that having actually been a very popular feature in G/GU.

23:30 <Schism> It would be nice if you could make a party of Palicos in World and do, say, safari quests.

23:31 <Cepheid> That was basically what was done, more or less, in... Ye know what, I hate typing out "Generations", so I'm just gonna go with XX, for the Japanese name of MHGU.

23:31 <Schism> Bolster the Tailraider familiarity, because heavens know we're not going to be running off to the Tailraiders every single time just to grind them up.

23:32 <Cepheid> You basically switched to palico mode, which let you control a palico.  You could have four players doing the same thing, and go out and hunt any monster, etc.

23:32 <Cepheid> There were quests dedicated specifically for them as well.

23:33 <Cepheid> Some people even took it to the extreme.  In the original MHX game, a group of four players known for their hunting videos, decided to do a full palico team and take on MHX's final boss.

23:34 <Schism> Nice.  You'd think that sort of thing -would- make a wonderful feature.

23:34 <Cepheid> You would think.

23:35 <Cepheid> But yeah, they kinda stepped back on a few things on the transition to World.  Presumably this was because both MHX/XX and World were developed alongside one another.

23:36 <Cepheid> One thing was that SnS lost out on the Oils.

23:37 * Schism headtilts.

23:38 <Cepheid> In MHX/MHXX, they introduced a usable item for Sword and Shield, called oil.  There's a few types.  Affinity, Destroyer, Stamina and Mind's Eye.  Affinity oil temporarily increases the weapon's affinity.  Destroyer makes it easier to stagger monsters.  Stamina drains their energy quicker.  Mind's Eye prevents bouncing.

23:39 <Schism> Oh, nice.  o3o

23:39 <Heartbreak> *peeks*

23:39 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about MHWorld shots: State of SnS. (ft. JoCat)

23:39 * Schism provides Heartbreak with some rye bread, topped with melted swiss cheese and fire-roasted tomatoes.

23:39 <Cepheid> Which explains JoCat in that video.

23:40 <Heartbreak> ...It's been forever last you gave me any food, Schism.

23:40 <Heartbreak> Thanks and happy decapitated saints day.

23:41 * Heartbreak happily noms the food that Schism has offered her.

23:41 * Schism pats the HB, and then digs into the pantry. Provides HB with some spaghetti and wheatballs, some lemon bars, a bowl of vegetarian chili, a platter of tofu sushi, a big roll of candy dots, a slice of key lime pie, a couple slices of raisin toast, some banana bread with cream cheese...

23:42 <Heartbreak> O.o

23:42 * Schism also provides a big strawberry banana smoothie. With extra vanilla.

23:42 <Schism> Gotta make up for lost time.

23:42 <Heartbreak> What are you buttering me up for?

23:42 <Schism> Oh right.  Butter tarts, too!

23:42 <Schism> Nothing really, just fooding.

23:43 <Heartbreak> Oh, Ok. Yay food!

23:43 <Heartbreak> Also, remember to check out my arts Schism.

23:44 * Schism kaykays. o3o Also, provides HB with some Rathalos sirloin.

23:44 <Schism> Rathalos tail is sweet and creamy.  (And possibly filled with poison.)

23:44 <Heartbreak> Wat is Rathalos?

23:45 <Schism> Giant flying fire-breathing dragon with sharp claws and big teeth, and a few poison attacks.

23:45 <Heartbreak> ... Am pony, can I eat this?

23:45 <Schism> It is prepared by the finest Felynes in the land, so I would hope so.  'Sides, ponies can eat a bit of meat.

23:46 * Schism demonstrates. ...wait, is changeling.

23:46 <Schism> Rathalos: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/monsterhunter/images/6/60/MHW-Rathalos_Render_001.png/revision/latest?cb=20171204124523

23:46 <Schism> Kinda sorta bog-standard 'dragon', admittedly.

23:47 <Cepheid> If you want crunchier, go for an Azure Rathalos or Silver Rathalos tail.

23:51 <Cepheid> So, how's the weather, Schism?

23:51 <Schism> I kind of want to build a bonfire, and then jump in it.

23:52 <Cepheid> So about the same as here.

23:52 <Cepheid> We have a minor problem here, ourselves.

23:52 <Schism> Yup.  Went from sunny in the morning to overcast during the day.  Not a lot of snow, but yeah.

23:52 <Schism> Thankfully, ALSO not a lot of wind.

23:52 <Cepheid> Apparently, it is so cold in our house that, despite the thermostats for them being turned down to the minimum setting, our baseboard electric heaters are turning on.

23:53 <Schism> Whoof.

23:53 <Cepheid> Yeah, and...

23:53 <Cepheid> The worst part?

23:54 <Cepheid> We don't know which breakers they're on.

23:54 <Cepheid> The entire breaker box is unlabeled, thanks to Minto.

23:54 <Schism> Loverly.  And to label it would require a day's work.

23:55 <Cepheid> I plan to do it when my parents are out and about.

23:55 <Cepheid> I'll flip each switch individually, look through the house, and figure out what it affects.

23:56 * Schism nodnods.

23:57 <Schism> Meanwhile, this is such an old building that my apartment has a fusebox.

23:59 <Schism> Pfffff.  https://twitter.com/CharlesEsten/status/1228117683440422912
