00:32 <Cepheid> Time to watch a dead crab play a game.

00:46 *** Quits: ThatAnonPony (Pony55177@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

00:46 * Schism returns from a nap. "Always enjoyable, Cephy."

00:46 <Schism> Which episode are you on?

00:48 <Schism> (Fun fact: DeceasedCrab's name came from the fact that in Monster Party (NES), one of the bosses is a crab who simply states that he's already dead.)

00:48 <PinkieShy> I keep crying off and on today over all the stuff yesterday..

00:48 <PinkieShy> Even everybody at church was very concerned as they noticed.. I'm just more mute and not myself..

00:48 * Schism hugs PinkieShy, and offers a small bowl of fried potatoes.

00:49 * Schism isn't good at cheering people up, but food is good...?

00:49 <PinkieShy> Yea it is. :)

00:50 <Schism> PinkieShy: Have you seen that link to WRR 101?

00:50 <PinkieShy> Nope

00:50 <Schism> http://player.listenlive.co/44461 - They're playing John Williams right now.

00:51 <Cepheid> Aaaaand Crabby hit Confusion Gate

00:51 <Schism> Hee.

00:51 <Schism> Enjoy a few runs full of profanity, Cephy.

00:52 <Cepheid> "I really hate Confusion Gate.  So does everyone else who has played this game." Keep preaching man.  Confusion gate threw me for a bit of a loop a year later.

00:52 * Ali rolls around

00:53 <Schism> Gate of Illusion, in the remake, and everything else... which, yeah.

00:53 <Cepheid> Honestly though I hate it more for the music.  The high-pitched notes grate at my ears.

00:53 *** Quits: PurePurple (Bat@Squeaky.Cuddly.Batpony) (Connection closed)

00:53 <Schism> Oh, yeah.  The music is just pure evil.  I almost hate it more than Hell Temple's.

00:53 *** Joins: PurePurple (Bat@Squeaky.Cuddly.Batpony)

00:54 <Cepheid> It also throws off my ability to tell if the music is too loud.

00:54 <Schism> Thankfully, the remake just lets you turn it right the hell off.

00:54 <Cepheid> After LM1, I plan to do LM2.  Think I'll stream it.

00:54 <Ali> My pain today has been Hey SP Factorio and body is like Nah screw dat.

00:55 <Schism> Ali, did you get that link to the cute little city builder?

00:55 <Ali> I'm not in the mood for a city build Schism

00:55 * Ali stares at Cities Skylines and the DLCs she can't get

00:56 <Schism> Mrf, it's not -quite- a city builder.  More like a cutesy little environment reconstructor with a few pieces.

00:57 <Cepheid> Deceased Crab himself says I am in for a ride with these videos.

00:57 <Schism> That you are, Cephy.

00:58 <Ali> Schism, I already have a game where you terraform

00:58 <Ali> Surviving Mars

00:58 <Schism> Yes, but this one is much, much smoler.  And laid-back.

00:58 <Schism> And you don't have to deal with competing intelligences.

00:59 <Schism> It's much more like creating a garden for the sake of it.

01:00 <Ali> The AI in Surviving Mars is pretty weak on the competing front

01:01 <Schism> That's a pity.  We'll have to play against one another sometime.

01:02 <Ali> You can do that in Surviving Mars?

01:02 <Ali> I thought that game was completely single player

01:03 <Schism> Huh.  ... you know, I never did play it... awr.  I guess it is singleplayer.

01:03 <Schism> Sorry. But for now, I really do suggest Terra Nil as a tiny little singleplayer city building puzzler slash terraformer.

01:06 <Schism> Or mebbe play Carcassonne against me.

01:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: SFM: Who I Am [ http://tinyurl.com/w9mzdqm ]

01:09 <Schism> ...

01:09 <Schism> Say, Ali.  Have you played Dr. Langiskov, the Tiger, and the Terribly Cursed Emerald yet?

01:10 <Ali> Never heard of it.

01:10 <Cepheid> I can't tell if Crab is keeping the videos short, or if he really isn't all that patient.

01:10 <Schism> Cepheid: He keeps them to 15 minutes or so.

01:10 <Schism> Ali: It's a marvelous, whirlwind heist game, it's free, and it's short.  I promise, you'll find it amusing.

01:10 <Schism> And I'm all but certain that it'll run on your toaster.

01:11 <Schism> It's up on Steam.

01:15 * MaredoggieRainbows chews on Ali's hooves cause bored

01:15 * Ali brushies the MaredoggieRainbows

01:15 <Schism> DashedRainbows: I would suggest the same to you.  It's a cute little game about a heist.

01:16 <Schism> And it is fun.  ConfusionRift likes it too.

01:16 * MaredoggieRainbows licks a bit

01:16 <Schism> Runtime is, oh, about a half an hour.

01:21 * Schism provides DashedRainbows with some sweet and sour sriracha chicken.

01:36 <Schism> ... a Russian state official stated that they could not comment on Mike Pompeo meeting Lavrov, and that they specifically instructed camera crews, news agents, etc. to stay away from the boundaries of what may or may not have been a meeting between the two.

01:36 <Schism> Are we being punked?

01:37 * Cepheid puts on his skin pajamas.

01:37 <Schism> Do they have skinny feet?

01:39 <Cepheid> Yep.

01:39 <Schism> Superb.

01:40 <Schism> (We're a couple of strange folks, aren't we, Cephy?) </Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead>

01:46 <Schism> So, this'll be fun. Tomorrow I'll go into work and they'll tell me that they don't need me around.  And I'll just get normal time instead of time-anna-half.

01:50 <Schism> Sometimes, I love British humour.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ni559bHXDg

01:51 <Cepheid> My greatest La-Mulana achievement?  Making a jump in a room filled with bats, and not getting hit by them, and landing where I intended to.

01:52 <Schism> Achievement-worthy.

02:08 <Cepheid> Ah, the number tunnel.

02:09 <Schism> 2, 3, 5, 9.

02:11 <Schism> Malcolm Muggeridge is the best bishop.  X3

08:26 * Ali flops over ConfusionRift for snuggles

08:26 * ConfusionRift snugs Ali. :P

08:28 * Ali noms on ConfusionRift's tongue since its always out when he snugs her.

08:29 <ConfusionRift> EEEEH!

08:30 * Ali sits and swishies tail at ConfusionRift with his tongue in her mouf

08:31 * ConfusionRift boops Ali.

08:32 * Ali squeaks, letting go of ConfusionRift's tongue

08:33 * ConfusionRift snugs Ali again... no tongues out though.

08:35 * Ali snuggles into ConfusionRift, she can really use the snuggles

08:40 <ConfusionRift> No probs. It is one of them days.

08:41 <Ali> Well I got the two X collections on steam

08:41 <Ali> Only to find out both run at a god awful 30 FPS

08:42 <ConfusionRift> Well, that's the original speed.

08:42 <ConfusionRift> I don't think they're remastered versions, and more like ports.

08:43 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, does the PSX ones run at 30? Hmmmmm.

08:43 <Ali> It runs at 60 ConfusionRift

08:44 <Ali> So the game lags horridly

08:44 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmmmm... might have gotten Capcom'd.

08:46 <ConfusionRift> In other words, they may have cut a corner somewhere, as usual.

08:51 <Ali> I dunno, and this PC is old so that might make a problem

08:52 <ConfusionRift> I wonder...

08:57 <ConfusionRift> I don't have it on PC, but I have it on the XB1. I'm wondering if it's the game.

08:57 <Finwe> Good forenoon, everypony.

08:58 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Miss Ali.

08:58 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

08:58 <Finwe> o7

08:58 * Ali flops over Finwe and noms his tail.

09:00 * Finwe tail-wiggles.

09:00 <Finwe> !plor

09:00 <Finwe> !plot

09:00 <DerpyBot> *wigglewiggle*

09:02 * ConfusionRift updates. "Oh right, it's been a while."

09:02 <Schism> So, what is it with people?  RSVPs closed for an event on the weekend on, like, Wednesday, and yet I still got requests for tickets.

09:03 <Schism> On Saturday.  During the event.

09:03 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

09:03 <Schism> Mlehm.  Oh well.

09:03 * Schism frowns. "Come to think. While I don't -need- them, where the hell are the Hermes Boots, this run?"

09:05 <ConfusionRift> Late at night, I had a customer ask 4 others about a piece of furniture we DON'T HAVE. We all rounded the steels looking for it several times. But no, let's insist. It's gonna be somewhere, RIGHT?!

09:05 <Schism> ThE weBsItE sAYs yOu hAve iT.

09:06 * Finwe noms on venison stew.

09:06 * Schism offers Finwe a delicious slice of tourtiere with a bit of sharp mustard on the side.

09:07 <ConfusionRift> Schism: THAT! That was the exact same thing! Over and over! With four different associates, me included!

09:08 * Ali noms on Schism

09:08 <Schism> I get the same thing, in reverse.  Like, "Don't you have EVERY SHOE EVER PRODUCED BY YOUR COMPANY on the website?" and I'm like, "No, we have exactly what's on the website, we're not some kind of interdimensional repository of shoes."

09:09 * Finwe nom on Schism's offerings, too.

09:09 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

09:09 * Schism doffs his tourtiere.

09:09 * Schism also provides the Ali with some butter tarts.

09:12 <Schism> I will admit, though, I wish that we could sell the Pride-styled shoes all year round.  Had someone asking for the aqua-pink-and-blue soles earlier, and I was really sad that I couldn't get her those ones.

09:12 <Schism> white-pink-and-blue*

09:21 * Ali noms on tarts and gets crumbs all over Schism

09:22 * Schism supposes that's the way of things. Noms upon a stray raisin.

09:36 <ConfusionRift> Oh goodness, why does this game has that filter?!

09:36 * Schism headtilts.

09:41 <ConfusionRift> Mega Man X Legacy Collection. The games start up with that stupid SAI filter, so all looks pastel. You can turn it off, but still.

09:42 <Schism> Eeh.

09:42 <Ali> Yes but does it RUN like crap?

09:42 <Schism> Leave it to Capcom to screw up an emulator on their own game that's been solved for over a decade and a half.

09:43 <ConfusionRift> Nope. Runs as I remember X5 running.

09:43 * Ali sads, hers runs at under 30fps..

09:43 <Schism> Definitely PC, then.  :<

09:44 <Schism> And probably not your PC.

09:44 * Schism boops the Ali with an SCPH7001 ROM.

09:45 * Ali nopes, doesn't SCP

09:45 <Schism> No, no.  SCPH-7001 is the model of the Sony Playstation which included dual-shock controls.

09:45 <Schism> 7501 is the more common ROM, though.

09:46 <Schism> 7502 is PAL, too.  o3o;

09:48 <Schism> BIOSes ending in 0 are NTSC/Japan, those ending in 1 are NTSC-U, and those ending in 2 are PAL.

09:48 <Schism> Either way, I bet you'd have more luck with an ISO dump of Megaman X5 on a PSX emulator.

09:49 <Schism> Once, that is, you got the settings down, which admittedly is a task worthy of Sisyphus.

09:51 * Schism boops Ali. "Say, what's your Steam handle?"

09:51 * Ali looks around, what handle

09:52 <Finwe> Username?

09:52 * Schism headtilts at Ali.

09:52 * Ali headtilts back at Schism and falls over.

09:52 <Schism> Finwe, I forget if I need to add you as well.  My handle is "Theogrin the Eccentric".

09:52 <Ali> That's a long nick

09:52 <Schism> It works.

09:53 <Schism> And accuracy is a thing.  o3o

09:53 <Finwe> Steam has actually separate nickname and username.

09:54 * Ali sits on Schism, she added them

09:54 * Schism pats the Ali with an oxygen creator.

09:54 <Finwe> I'm shown as Finwe007.

09:55 * Ali boops Schism with all the drones

09:55 <Schism> Friend code for me is 23581423

09:55 <Schism> .

09:56 <Finwe> The dog-like creature with glasses, from Ontario?

09:56 * Schism sneezes repeatedly, too. "Gluh...?" Sneezes again. "Sinuses...!"

09:56 <Schism> Foxlike.

09:56 <Finwe> Oh.

09:56 <Finwe> Foxes look a lot like some dogs.

09:56 <Finwe> o3o

09:57 <Schism> Occasionally, yes, they do.  I'm still surprised that mankind didn't domesticate foxen like they did doggos.

09:57 * ConfusionRift checks X1.

09:59 <ConfusionRift> Update. Cool.

10:00 * Ali sits on ConfusionRift

10:06 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, the original JP box art.

10:07 * Ali headtilts, how does one run with intergrated graphics

10:09 <Finwe> "Ali Ponychats" o3o

10:09 <ConfusionRift> That would be the CPU graphs. It's what you use when you don't have a GPU, and that's with a motherboard that supports it.

10:09 * Finwe noms on Ali Ponychats.

10:09 <ConfusionRift> *graphics

10:09 * Ali boops the Finwe

10:10 * Finwe is left with no option but to scrunchymuzzle.

10:10 <Finwe> *scrunch*

10:12 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, seems to run fine. Though, I don't remember that stutter so early in game, with the pressing flying bots and the rocket launching bots. Seems it gets a bit intense, and there's some slowdown.

10:15 * Ali just watches hers drop all the way down to 30FPS every time

10:16 <ConfusionRift> It might be the PC, or it might be the game. XB1S is 4k capable, so this is gonna run smooth. Hard to say it's a port issue, since I don't have it on PC.

10:27 *** Parts: heftig (heftig@2a01:4f8:c2c:507e::1) ()

10:31 * Ali lags so horridly

10:32 <Schism> It's possible -- I don't want to say likely, but possible -- that if the game detects it can't run at a stable 60FPS, it drops down to cap at 30FPS.

10:33 <Schism> The reason I don't say it's likely is because that would require a level of foresight from Capcom's devteam far eclipsing any effort they put into prior ports.

13:05 <Cepheid> THey're ignoring it.

13:06 <ConfusionRift> The heck?!

13:06 <Cepheid> ... Oh.

13:06 <Cepheid> I'm supposed to break the block next to the lift first.

13:10 <Cepheid> There we go.  But gods, that's obscure.  You can only attack the block in the room with the grail point from the right-hand side, which requires standing on the lift and hitting it with a long weapon.

13:10 <Cepheid> Attempts to hit it from the left, above, or below, do nothing.

13:13 <Cepheid> Right then, time to get this over with.  Hey Baphy.

13:14 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh. That block.

13:14 <ConfusionRift> Yep, you get no clue or anything. You just hit it by accident by pure frustration.

13:17 <Cepheid> Yep.

13:17 <Cepheid> Well, those clothes made Baphy much easier.

13:50 * ConfusionRift gets ready for sleepies. "Laters!"

13:50 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-vas.irn.56.193.IP) (Quit: Recharging the batteries. Laters! *shutdown*)

13:50 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I should also do some maintenance on this laptop of mine.  Figure out why the speakers aren't working.

14:04 * Cepheid starts media creation tool, gets several steps in, along the way there are 30+ seconds "Please wait" screens. "Please log into your administrator account to continue."

14:04 <Cepheid> This is some grade-A terrible design.

14:19 <Cepheid> This morning, I had three cups of cheerios with 2 cups of 1% milk and a coffee.  Prior to this, my blood glucose was...  8.4.  Two hours after my breakfast, it was 10.2.

14:22 <Cepheid> So the Synjardy is working.

14:26 <Finwe> In which units? In mmol/l those would be too high.

14:30 <Cepheid> mmol/l

14:31 <Cepheid> But consider that my blood-glucose used to be 15 to 20.

14:32 <Cepheid> For like.  Five years.

15:05 <Cepheid> There.  Dual-booting.  Now to go fix one other problem.

15:06 <Cepheid> My speakers haven't been working for a few months now.  Let's find out why.

15:07 * Jackie is ADHD.

15:14 * Lumindia steals Jackie

15:14 <Lumindia> Mine

15:14 <Lumindia> You are now mine

15:14 * Jackie wiggles on Lumindia's hooves

15:16 <Lumindia> :>

15:22 * Jackie looks at Lumindia

15:22 * Lumindia looks back

15:22 * Lumindia mlems the jackie

15:23 * Jackie purrs and folds her hooves

15:27 * Jackie nuzzles Lumindia

15:27 <Lumindia> <3

15:29 <Cepheid> I got lucky.

15:29 <Cepheid> I initially opened it up, examined it, and then cleaned out the audio jack with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip.  No luck.

15:29 <Cepheid> Finish my attempt to fix it, put it back together, boot it up, still no luck.

15:29 <Cepheid> I try one last thing.

15:29 * Jackie shows Lumindia her wings

15:29 <Cepheid> I plug in an audio headset, and wiggle it around in the jack.

15:30 * Lumindia preens

15:30 <Cepheid> Cleaning and wiggling the jack appeared to unstick the switch.

15:31 <Cepheid> Now if only I had that sort of luck with the CPU fan.

15:31 <Cepheid> But that's less a stuck switch and more a borked fan controller.

15:32 * Jackie purrs, wing thickening

16:08 * PrincessRainbows licks Jackie a bit

16:09 * Jackie nuzzles PrincessRainbows

16:13 * PrincessRainbows bleps

16:17 * Jackie gives PrincessRainbows a donut

16:18 * PrincessRainbows yays and hugs Jackie tight

16:19 * Jackie pats head

16:21 <Cepheid> Yeah... definitely not pulling sub-10-hour.  Too much forgotten in the late game.

23:19 <Cepheid> Schism.  Dimensional Corridor.

23:19 <Cepheid> Life jewel.  Why dangit whgy?

23:20 <Schism> Oh yes.  Always enjoyable.

23:20 <Schism> I'm glad that the randomizer puts a ladder there.

23:22 <Cepheid> All the other one shot puzzles are fine and fair.

23:23 <Cepheid> But the corridor puzzle....  No.  That isn't fair.  It also isn't fun.  It technically isn't even a puzzle.

23:24 <Schism> Indeed.

23:24 <Schism> And it's not one shot -- you can get knocked back onto the platform by those flying jerks.

23:25 <Cepheid> Yeah, but that was unintended.

23:25 <Schism> True.

23:28 <Cepheid> Alas I have run over 10 hours.  Knowing my luck I'll get sub-10-hour with a randomizer run.

23:32 <Schism> Alas.  But yeah, it's much easier to get sub-10 with a randomizer.

23:32 <Cepheid> Finish the game tomorrow.  Then get back to work on my own game.  Health be damned.
