01:09 <PinkieShy> I realized something yesterday..
01:09 <PinkieShy> I ate a ton of junk.
01:20 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: what's this about Deceased Crab?
01:20 <ADragonDreaming> oh, wait, are you watching his La Mulana videos?
01:22 * Golden got lost in an enedless Ikea
01:23 <Cepheid> Yes.
01:26 <Cepheid> "Except we haven't sanctified any of the mumbo-jumbo... Bob doles."
01:34 <Cepheid> Sweet geebas what happened to him around episode 61?
01:38 <ADragonDreaming> I read somewhere that he went through a breakup at some point in there
01:39 <Cepheid> Yeah. That's what it sounds like from the ranting and raving.
01:40 <ADragonDreaming> he may also have been playing and recording while somewhat drunk
01:42 <Cepheid> He is definitely drunk during these episodes, yeah.
01:42 <PinkieShy> We don't have IKEA here sadly..
01:42 <PinkieShy> Last time i checked they are in north carolina and states around me.. But as of south carolina.. There isn't one
01:44 <Ali> What is it with me and ending up watching frightening crashes in NASCAR
01:44 <Ali> I had the Daytona 500 on for noise and they had a horrific crash on the final lap
01:45 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah. Episode 62, Deceased Crab says he has "oneitis." Breakup.
01:46 <Ali> I deal with oneitis all the time~
01:47 * Ali rolls around Cepheid, guesses a few more days till the next Factorio continuation? She's not rushing them, just wants to have some sort of idea.
01:48 <Cepheid> Yeah most likely. Tomorrow I want to work. Also got an appointment regarding my CAT scan the other week.
01:48 <Schism> "La-Mulana Randomizer is BACK!"
01:50 <Ali> That's fine, just wanting some know how of what to think about and plan as I keep mucking off and on with single player.
01:50 <Ali> My personal big issue with SP after getting into blue science is the amount of space to take care of and manage.
01:50 <Ali> Just don't have the resources yet to be able to defend all that space.
01:54 * Ali flops over Schism as she plays with drones and doesn't know what she should do, has had about three or five runs just peter out cause she can't get into a groove.
01:59 <Golden> Hm....I have a way to tick fire emblem three houses fans off
02:00 <Cepheid> Ask yourself though, is it worth it?

02:10 <Golden> Edelgard did nothing wrong
02:11 <ADragonDreaming> who?
02:17 <Cepheid> Ah, time for DC to kill Mother.
02:20 <Golden> Ahahaha
02:23 <Cepheid> "Oh dear. That was a load-bearing Mother!" XD
02:25 <Cepheid> Okay the original credits are *weird*.
02:28 <Cepheid> Next up, Hell temple!
02:28 <ADragonDreaming> hehe, you think DC lost it before.
02:30 <Cepheid> Man, I remember the Hell temple. I'd be surprised if anyone maintained their sanity after it. Or trying to find it.
02:35 <Schism> "How bad could it possibly be?"
02:35 <Cepheid> Trying to find it is... Gods.
02:36 <Cepheid> The hints aren't poorly translated. They are deliberately misleading.
02:39 <Cepheid> Not even 2 rooms in and he is already starting to crack.
02:39 <Schism> DC's deranged laughter in the teleport room.
02:45 <Cepheid> ... What in the hell? At that teleport room.
02:46 <Cepheid> That is... Ow.
02:49 <Schism> DC likes his bombs.
02:51 <Cepheid> You're slightly ahead of me it seems. :P
02:55 <Schism> Clock Tower music. That's appropriate.
02:57 <Cepheid> Sounds more like Dance of the sugar plum fairy.
02:58 <Cepheid> "Shield on! Geronimo!" *quiet* "I hate you."
03:00 <Cepheid> "I'm not going back to the land of-" *falls into the land of hell* *sound of something snapping in the distance*
03:02 <Schism> "Floors are not to be trusted."
03:02 <Schism> The Great and Powerful DC does not trust floors.
03:02 <Cepheid> Me doing the hell temple and recording it wouldn't be anywhere near as funny. I don't get giggly and crazy. I get PISSED. I rage.
03:07 <Schism> Poor, poor, poor DC.

07:42 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
07:46 <Jackie> How about an RPG game with 4 maids?
07:47 <ConfusionRift> That... huh? That was a rather sudden... and confusing question.
07:48 <Jackie> It's just my idea ConfusionRift
07:53 <Jackie> Jackie, Marionette, Jia and Surry
07:53 <ConfusionRift> So... is the main controllable character also a maid? Or just the case of maids working for someone?
07:54 <Jackie> Well 4 are playable
07:54 <ConfusionRift> Oh, hmmm.
07:54 <Jackie> Kinda like Final Fantasy
07:55 <Jackie> But 8 character slots
07:55 <Jackie> Battle style is...kinda unique
07:56 <Jackie> Like it's a button mashing rhythm game
07:56 * ConfusionRift suplexes some sheets into shape, and puts them in the washing machine.
07:56 <Jackie> And the 'Fight' option removed
07:57 <Jackie> Instead, you get a minigame like stuff
07:57 <Jackie> Jackie's normal move is just basic I guess
07:57 <ConfusionRift> Huh. Like small puzzles and mini-games in order to get tasks done?
07:58 <Jackie> Kinda, but to deal damage to opponents
07:58 <Jackie> Like, you have to press 3 buttons at the right time to each of the trident points, and you have to time the swing
07:59 <Jackie> You simply get more damage if one or more of your trident points flame up
08:00 <Jackie> And if the swing time is perfect, it's a critical hit
08:01 <Jackie> It's a complex battle system, but at least you get to be amazed by the unique characters and their abilities
08:03 <Jackie> ConfusionRift, if you like, I could send you a prototype
08:04 <ConfusionRift> You know, was thinking of something silly. It's of a maid who used to be a fighter, but decided to leave the adventuring and fighting behind and become a maid. So she would do tasks assigned as usual, but she still has that fighting fit on her. So during her first few days, she would suplex the blanket sheets, power punch clothes dry, full sprint to get supplies, etc.
08:05 <ConfusionRift> Jackie: I suppose, up to you. Gotta warn you. I'm not big with RPGs.
08:05 <ConfusionRift> Not exactly my gaming genre.
08:06 <Jackie> This is not a normal maid though
08:06 <Jackie> She's a demon maid disguised as an earth pony
08:06 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-8q0glj.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)
08:07 <Jackie> Though
08:07 <Jackie> That's a good idea on introducing
08:07 <Jackie> Maybe after she gets trapped on the overworld
08:08 <ConfusionRift> And was suddenly reminded of Sakuya Izayoi.
08:10 <Jackie> Expect the graphics t
08:10 <Jackie> to be good as NES
08:11 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, so classic style pixel art.
08:11 <Jackie> Though not on an actual NES
08:12 <Jackie> Because the battle style is so limited
08:12 <Jackie> Still finding a good palette to use
08:13 <Jackie> Though i'd make my own 8 palette that doesn't burn the eyea
08:13 <Jackie> *eyes
08:14 <Jackie> ConfusionRift, would C# be a good choice?
08:14 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
08:14 <Jackie> I'm making a game old-fashioned
08:15 <ConfusionRift> I say if you can make something work with a programming language, then any would be fine. It's up to you to choose which fits your needs. Though, a lot of people are moving to C# and C++
08:16 <Jackie> I just don't like using Unity for various reasons

15:36 <Jackie> Is the free Unity worth it?

20:23 <Ali> Why are there over twelve thousand files on the X collections?
20:25 <Cepheid> Because they decided against using a singular archive for their files.
20:26 <Ali> Could be why it runs like crap then? Since its having to scan for the files?
20:26 <Ali> I mean hell, the Megaman Collection had FOUR files
20:27 <Ali> Though I understand that's NES games VS SNES and PS1
20:27 <Cepheid> It's not scanning for the files, but yes, that is probably part of it, especially after Windows 7.
20:27 <Cepheid> Windows 7 and beyond for, reasons unknown, are excessively slow when it comes to opening files.
20:28 <Cepheid> Seems fast to the average user, but to a computer program, it's very slow.
20:28 <Ali> I bet
20:28 <Ali> Though the main reason I'm trying to move games to a different drive
20:28 <Ali> Other than the second drive is larger, its also a solid state drive
20:29 <Ali> Will that change anything? Probably not, but its worth a try
20:29 * PrincessRainbows chews on Ali's hooves anyway
20:29 <Cepheid> Won't affect file opening time, but reading data *AFTER* the file is open will be much faster.
20:29 * Ali gives PrincessRainbows a treat to chew on instead, hooves are ment for petting and brushing PrincessRainbows
20:30 <PrincessRainbows> yay!
20:31 <Ali> Also a question, though I doubt it would change issues as well
20:31 <Ali> The hard drive is also just about as old as my motherboard, think that might be causing some frame drops?
20:34 <Cepheid> Platter drives do degrade mechanically over time, yes.
20:36 <Ali> I'm kinda surprised it hasn't failed yet.
20:37 <Lumindia> La hee!
20:39 * Ali boops the Lumindia nosie
20:39 <Lumindia> Scree!
20:39 * Lumindia wriggles at Ali
20:39 * Ali mango's Lumindia believing they're a bat pony
20:39 * Lumindia is The Great Serpent of Ronka!
20:39 * Lumindia accepts mangos anyway
20:40 * Ali doesn't 14 so doesn't know this.
20:41 <Schism> Skreee~
20:41 * Schism puts a cowboy hat on Lumindia.
20:41 <Lumindia> Screee~!
20:43 * Schism screes at Surreal_Nightmares.
20:45 * Surreal_Nightmares skreesplodes! _
20:45 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares
20:46 <Ali> Geez the bats are out now
20:48 * Filly_Nightmares climbs onto Ali and purrs
20:52 * Filly_Nightmares flap flappies her wingies wildly!
20:58 <Finwe> Good evening, my pastel-coloured ungulates with an odd number of toes.
20:58 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Filly_Nightmares and PrincessRainbows; Messrs Cepheid, Schism and Lumindia.
20:58 * Finwe doffs his hat.
20:59 * Ali gives Filly_Nightmares mango
20:59 * Finwe noms on Filly_Nightmares.
21:06 * Filly_Nightmares batsplodes!
21:06 * Schism makes up a mango-and-vanilla-icecream smoothie for Filly_Nightmares!

21:21 <Cepheid> Reaching a point with this illness where I am wanting to go to the hospital. It's been nearly four weeks now, and it won't go away.
21:26 <Cepheid> I won't though. Two reasons. 1) My parents won't take me, so I'd have to take the bus and admit myself. 2) In light of flu season and COVID-19, the hospital will likely just give me another round of antibiotics, or tell me to go home and get some rest and fluids.
21:39 <Cepheid> I'll give it a couple more days. If it doesn't get any better, off to the hospital I go.
22:00 <Schism> COVID-19-- oh. Right. Huh.
22:02 * Schism raises an eyebrow at some of the news. "I do hope nobody was going to be expecting cruise ships to be anything other than a miserable hotbed of infection."
22:02 * Ali nibbles on Schism ear
22:02 <Ali> Well moving X to a better drive didn't help the FPS issue.
22:02 <Schism> Also, Cepheid: Your symptoms aren't really all that flu-like, are they?
22:04 <Cepheid> Aside from the coughing and nausea, not really.
22:04 <Schism> Well. ... I mean, okay.
22:06 <Cepheid> There's no high-grade fevet. Though given the amount of cough syrup and tylenol I'm consuming, it may just be hidden behind the effects of medicine.
22:07 <Cepheid> Coughing. Fluid buildup in lungs. Nausea. Unbearable headaches. I wake up sore as hell. Constant periods of about 15 minutes of sweating, then it stops and I dry/warm up.
22:08 <Schism> I'd... check your blood sugars.
22:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3255 [ http://tinyurl.com/yxxz3ghn ]
22:09 <Cepheid> Blood sugars are averaging around 8. Lowest they've been in years.
22:09 <Schism> That's rather amazing, and I'm glad that's not the cause.
22:09 <Cepheid> But this has been ongoing for about 4 weeks, so...
22:10 <Schism> Oh, yeah. I'd... let folks know that this has been an ongoing thing, and give it another day or two at most.
22:11 <Cepheid> Hum. I thought I did. Guess not.
22:12 <Schism> I meant let them know the full array of symptoms. Either way, the whole thing, when you lay it out like -that-, implies you really need to at least visit a clinic.
22:16 <Cepheid> I've been to the clinic twice. In both cases I got a round of antibiotics which I took religiously, and while it got better, shortly after each round was finished it got worse again.
22:18 <Cepheid> I'm taking asthma meds and cough syrup and my chest keeps going back and forth between wheezing and bubbling/crackling. Then the headaches man. The headaches.
22:25 <Schism> Fnrgfgh.

22:39 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/qw9p6axnhoh41 Schism, why does this make me think of you?
22:50 <Schism> "Is there anything I can do to improve your experience today?" "You could let me out of these chains." "Ahahaha, you customers. Always wanting the world."
22:50 <Schism> "No, I'm afraid that you're a part of our Chain Experience program, and so please, let me know if there's anything wrong with those chains."
22:56 <Schism> Weirdly, I've never once used the phrase 'we appreciate your feedback', because... ugh. I'm more like, 'Sure, I'll bump that up the ladder for you. Lemme know your e-mail so we can get in touch.'
22:58 <Cepheid> Heh.
22:59 <Schism> Admittedly, were I the warlock in question, I would ask, "Oh, of course, how should we best get in touch with you?"
23:01 <Schism> *looks at chains* "You tell me." "Ah, of course, the personal touch. Well, then. When our managerial staff gets back to me with their demands, in two to fifty business weeks, I'll revisit this case."
23:05 <Cepheid> Man, now the social media person behind the DOOM Twitter account is joining in on the DOOM/Animal Crossing thing.

23:07 <Schism> Snide as it is, that might be interesting. A documentary about the history of the Animal Crossing series.
23:10 <Cepheid> I'm starting to think the devs of both games are now secretly in cahoots, making a day-one patch that references the other game in some way.
23:10 <Cepheid> It's gotten out of control.
23:12 <Cepheid> It's either that, or players are going to either mod the game in the case of DOOM, or do their best to recreate something from the DOOM franchise in Animal Crossing.
23:12 <Schism> Hum. Steam is offline. Naturally...
23:12 <Cepheid> Huh.
23:13 <Schism> Ancient Forest, what tracks have you.
23:17 <Cepheid> Monster tracks.
23:20 <Cepheid> "No, no. What kinds of monster tracks?" "Big ones." "I meant a bit more detailed than that." "Wyverns." "... You're doing this on purpose."
23:29 <Schism> Damnit.
23:34 <Cepheid> Hmm?
23:34 <Schism> Is Bagel an elder dragon, or just a nuisance?
23:35 <Cepheid> Nuisance I think.
23:36 <Cepheid> Yeah. Regular large monster.
23:38 *** Joins: ChaosMageX-HTPC (CMXHTPC@Pony-nc32n2.tx.comcast.net)
23:38 <Schism> Well, there's one bagel capture.
23:38 <Schism> I feel better now.
23:39 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:40 <Schism> Kashura Dora, heh.
23:40 <Cepheid> Oooh, that's a fun one.
23:40 <Schism> Oh, I did it on a random investigation, too, so I didn't mind the cart.
23:40 <Schism> I was foolish enough to let the bomber trap me in a corner.
23:40 <Schism> Missed a tail carve. ;-;
23:41 <Cepheid> Especially when you get trapped in a small corner by a windstorm and can't get out. Not that I ever experienced that before. No. Never.
23:42 <Schism> And lastly, the Wildspire Waste for some quests.
23:42 <Schism> Unless you'd like to do either of those two. Still have yet to eliminate Vaal Hazak.
23:44 <Cepheid> Give me a couple of minutes. Better than confining myself to bed at least.
23:45 <Schism> Somewhat, anyway. Elder Dragons, so I'll drop off the rest of the traps and just deal with dung and flash.
23:46 <Cepheid> Ah. Steam network appears to still be down.
23:47 <Schism> Odd, I managed to make a new online session.
23:47 <Cepheid> Hum.
23:47 <Cepheid> Maybe just the main store network is offline then. Let's find out.
23:47 <Schism> Well, so. Effluvium. Lots of .. Nulberries?
23:47 <Cepheid> Yeah.
23:47 <Cepheid> And... hmm.
23:48 <Schism> Always keep 10.
23:48 <Schism> Session ID: -fA8CW7@MMpR
23:48 <Cepheid> I can't start the game without logging into steam.
23:48 *** Quits: Moongoodgirl (moonbolt@sugar-belle.blackl.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
23:49 <Schism> Start in offline mode.
23:50 <Cepheid> Won't let me start it in offline mode.
23:50 * Schism blinks.
23:50 <Cepheid> It's insisting that this is somehow the first time I've attempted to launch the game.
23:50 <Schism> That's really weird.
23:51 <Schism> Okay, I'm going to take a moment to track down whatever the hell is in the desert...
23:51 <Cepheid> Oh. There we go.
23:51 <Cepheid> Got online.
23:51 <Schism> Back up>?
23:51 <Schism> ->
23:52 <Cepheid> Yeah.
23:54 <Cepheid> ...
23:54 <Cepheid> Aaaand there goes Steam again.
23:55 <Cepheid> I think it's safe to say that we can't really play together right now.
23:55 <Schism> I am annoyed. .-.
23:55 <Schism> Well, I can get that third elder dragon unlocked.
23:56 <Cepheid> Looks like they're trying to get it fixed, though? I reconnected already.
23:58 <Cepheid> Though you'd need to create a new session.
23:59 <Schism> Oh right.
23:59 <Schism> One sec.
23:59 <Schism> Set.
23:59 <Schism> I need to go out on an expedition to properly fix it.
