00:12 <Ali> So uh, are logic bots only good when first researched to pull stuff from your inventory to storage?

00:13 <Ali> Like you can't pull from red to push into yellow?

00:19 * Filly_Nightmares eeees at Ali

00:19 * Ali brushies Filly_Nightmares

00:32 <Schism> Hehe.  So Sam is not -quiiiite- a Robin Hood, but it's rather nice of him to have a shred of morality.  http://freefall.purrsia.com/

00:33 <Schism> Choices, choices.  What to play.  I guess FFXIV.

00:36 <Cepheid> Hum, that's enough progress for now.

00:36 * Ali sends a Tonberry after Schism

00:37 <Cepheid> According to a movie maker, villains are not allowed to have iPhones.

00:40 <Schism> Why, that's completely ridiculous.  Bond villains had walkie-talkies which could transmit their glorious plans to every inch of their base.

00:40 * Schism hugs the Tonberry! And then becomes a Nymian Marine.

00:42 * Cepheid watches DC's latest video.

00:44 <Cepheid> Hum, what's the Twin Labyrinths theme he has for his latest randomizer run?  Sounds familiar.

00:44 * Schism skips across the street. "A-cu-ross-o!"

00:44 <Cepheid> Oh, Megaman Zero music.

00:45 <Schism> Oh, he's doing the twins.

00:45 <Cepheid> I need to grab the Zero/ZX collection.

00:46 <Ali> Careful, it might be as bad as the X collection

00:46 <Ali> Also get this

00:46 <Ali> On steam they're charging $59.99 for base Civ6

00:46 <Ali> Saw the CD of it at Wally World for 25 bucks

00:46 <Ali> And then the Switch version for under 20

00:46 <Ali> This makes NO SENSE

00:47 <Cepheid> I'm going for the Switch version of the collection.

00:48 <Cepheid> Ah, the Labyrinth theme is from MMZ4. Straight Ahead, the theme for Ragnarok Control.

00:48 * Cepheid never played MMZ4.

00:48 <Cepheid> I never played 3 or 4, to be honest.

00:48 <Schism> "Nice of them to give him the bronze mirror so early," I say, then realize that's an hour and a half in.

00:48 <Ali> Never really got into the ZX series

00:48 <Ali> Seems really Metroidvania

00:48 <Cepheid> ZX is an entirely different series and yeah, it's metroidvania-ish.

00:49 <Cepheid> Basically, ZX is even further into the future.

00:49 <Cepheid> Like, beyond the Zero series.

00:50 <Schism> Well, there goes Sakit.  o3o;

00:51 <Cepheid> Is he streaming these runs?  It sounds like he's responding to commentary on occasion.

00:51 <Schism> No, but he reads the comments on previous videos.

00:51 <Cepheid> Ah.

00:51 <Schism> I despise that Running in the 90s / Flintstones remix, by the way.

00:52 <Cepheid> Hum, Sakit fell pretty easily to the chain whip.

00:52 <Schism> Or he might be streaming it.  o3o;

00:52 <Cepheid> MMZ2 - Departure for Guidance Gate.

00:53 <Schism> Yea, Sakit's HP is kind of... tiny.

00:54 <Schism> Mad laugh as he gets that one.  o3o

00:55 <Cepheid> Lower Norfair remix for Graveyard of the Giants.

00:55 <Schism> Yea.

00:55 <Cepheid> I need to add a reference to LM's butt monster to my game.

00:56 <Schism> And that is a very different kind of mad laughter.

00:56 <Cepheid> I wish I could do a crazy laugh.  Don't have the right mental structure to have it happen.

00:58 <Cepheid> Yeah, definitely not XBX.  Style didn't fit.

00:59 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah.  Can escape the merman area if you enter the area from the ladder.

00:59 <Cepheid> Oops, yeah, he's stuck now.

00:59 <Cepheid> You can't escape without the helmet.

01:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Open My Little Pony Art Compilation (All Skill Levels Welcome) #48 [ http://tinyurl.com/wccke8c ]

01:11 *** Quits: Pony|60469 (Pony60469@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

01:21 <Schism> Indeed.  But he's not softlocked.  The randomizer prevents that.

01:21 <Schism> He's just missed a chest or two, most likely.

01:21 <Schism> Sigh.  I suppose I'll run another randomizer.

01:21 * Ali sits on Schism

01:22 <Schism> How many attempts will it take to create a viable seed?  Let's find out!

01:22 * Cepheid breathes. Breathing exercises. He's fine, it's just he can feel irritation building.

01:23 <Cepheid> Hum, how do I do this..?

01:23 <Schism> Seriously, Ali, $60 for Civ6?  Bah.

01:23 * Cepheid needs to copy data into a managed array, but doesn't want to do it element-by-element. Wants to just chunk-read the data all at once.

01:24 <Schism> Wow, over 20,000 roll attempts failed.

01:24 <Schism> 23,343 attempts!  A valid seed.

01:25 <Schism> Anchor.  Thanks, Xelpud.

01:29 <Schism> That was the worst Surface I've ever seen.

01:31 <Ali> Isn't there a tech Cepheid that increases bot battery size or duration?

01:31 <Cepheid> I don't recall.

01:31 <Ali> I don't see one in the tech list but I swore there was one

01:33 <Schism> This run is not looking very nice so far.

01:35 <Schism> Hm.  This helps.

01:37 <Schism> Aha!  That ONE coin chest in the Gate of Guidance had the Hand Scanner.

01:41 <Cepheid> I think it was Industrial Revolution that had it, Ali.

01:43 <Schism> ... *sighhhh*

01:43 <Schism> Ankh Jewel chest in the Gate of Guidance gives the ICE CAPE.

01:44 * Ali sends Schism to the water temple!

01:44 <Schism> Much appreciated, but the fire cavern really is almost as bad.

01:49 * Cepheid goes to grab controller for gaming.

01:50 <Schism> Godsforsaken vultures.

01:50 <Cepheid> So, Schism, I think my bluetooth audio troubles are a part of the bluetooth spec itself.

01:50 <Schism> That does seem to fit with things.  .-.

01:51 <Cepheid> The automatic volume adjustment may be some sort of feature of the bluetooth protocol to keep audio within a certain range.

01:51 <Cepheid> Because when I connect my bluetooth headphones via the standard audio jack, and turn them on, they act as an amplifier of any received audio over the audio cable.

01:51 <Cepheid> Rather than controlling volume.

01:52 <Schism> Huh.

01:53 <Cepheid> Lesse, where was I..?

01:53 <Cepheid> I'm missing the djed pillar, the fairy clothes, and 3 programs.

01:53 <Cepheid> Also need to find the last 2 tablets for translation efforts.

01:55 <Schism> I'm of half a mind to drop that 140 gold on the Bracelet just to save headaches.

01:56 <Schism> ... ghost is... a trap.

01:58 <Ali> WHAT A TERRIBLE NIGHT FOR A CURSE

01:59 <Cepheid> Only thing I can think of at the moment is to murder Tiamat.

01:59 <Cepheid> Or Nuwa.

02:00 <Schism> Okay, Little Brother, what do you have for mfffffffFAFDLDSXHLVCB!!!!

02:01 <Schism> And Big Brother has Mantra for sale.

02:02 <Schism> Little Brother has the Mulana Talisman.  *sigh*

02:02 <Schism> Ali: By way of explanations, those are two game-clearing items.

02:02 <Cepheid> Ah, there we go.

02:03 <Cepheid> Other map program.

02:03 <Cepheid> It was in the money chest spot next to evil fairy thing.

02:03 <Schism> Oh nice, so now you can use the drgn bone.

02:04 <Schism> Okay, breaktime.

02:04 <Schism> Got Miracle.exe, which is nice.

02:05 <Cepheid> And the Dairy chest contains...

02:05 <Cepheid> Fairy Clothes.

02:05 <Schism> How appropriate.

02:08 <Cepheid> Giltorio mother entrance contains... Djed.

02:09 <Schism> Hah.

02:09 <Schism> There are options, I'm not roped into one path right now.  I should check and see what's in the volcano.

02:11 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I'm almost 100% certain Mantra is held by Tiamat, so time to go murder a snakewitch.

02:13 <Schism> H'okay.  Break instead.  Again.  Buer cannot be defeated with just the whip and two bombs.

02:14 *** Joins: Spike (~Mibbit@Pony-r7rsbu.va.comcast.net)

02:14 <Schism> And 64 HP.

02:14 <Cepheid> Aaaand I was right.

02:14 <Cepheid> ... Which leaves me wondering where the hell the Angel shield is.

02:14 <Schism> That was a quick takedown of Tiamat.

02:15 <Schism> Did you trigger "All Items Accessible"?

02:15 <Cepheid> Prolly Nuwa.

02:15 <Schism> Prob'ly.

02:15 <Cepheid> Haven't murdered her yet.

02:16 <Schism> But if you didn't, it's possible that the Angel Shield is behind that laser which requires the Angel Shield to access.

02:21 <Schism> Ali: As randomizers do.  *flailyhooves*

02:21 * Ali headtilts at Schism

02:21 <Schism> Where are all those purple rupee chests?  Oh, they're behind triggers you don't need to activate because you don't need them to beat the game!

02:22 * Schism once had an entire zone of the game blocked off because he didn't need it to win.

02:23 * Ali nods and rolls around Schism as she waits for these iron ore containers to run out.

02:23 <Schism> This resulted in having to go the long, LONG way around, causing so many headaches.

02:23 * Schism rolls around Ali as well, and offers some strawberry-stuffed rice balls.

02:27 <Ali> Only 12k ore to remove from storage, then I can tear down things X.x

02:27 <Schism> It is always frustrating to have to tear down an old project.

02:28 <Ali> Well the factory is all cramped an ill equiped to expand out further

02:28 <Ali> So I have to tear it down and redeploy the bus and rework everything

02:29 <Schism> Ah.  Project creep.

02:29 <Ali> Well the original bus was only a lane of copper and two lanes of iron

02:30 <Ali> I have a new bus ready to make it four of each

02:30 <Schism> Ah, that'll do it.

02:30 <Ali> But I just can't lay it down

02:30 <Ali> As everything else was built around that short bus

02:30 <Schism> I guess 'project creep' is kind of Factorio.

02:31 <Schism> Ughhh.  I need to sleep.  I've wanted to sleep since earlier this morning.  I want food more, tho.  So I shall food then nap.

02:31 <Schism> "Why haven't you slept yet?" "Because I need to keep on schedule.  Ish."

02:33 <Cepheid> Wedges in place.

02:33 <Cepheid> Time to go check one last chest.

02:34 <Schism> Oh, Cepheid: the Angel Shield does not block those lasers from Mother's second form.

02:35 <Schism> I'd have hoped it would.  But nope.

02:35 <Cepheid> Absolute final chest was a map.

02:39 *** Quits: Spike (~Mibbit@Pony-r7rsbu.va.comcast.net) (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

02:40 <Schism> It... was behind the Angel Shield laser, then.

02:40 <Schism> Probably, anyway.

02:40 <Schism> That's just mean, randomizer.  Just... plain... mean.

02:41 <Schism> Cepheid: Once you take down Mother, you might as well check the .txt files for anything you missed.  

02:42 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-8q0glj.dynamic.sonic.net)

02:43 <Cepheid> Five hours, 20 minutes to reach The Mother.

02:44 <Cepheid> Now to do the insane.  Kill The Mother with no subweapons used.

02:45 <Ali> Buster only~

02:46 <Schism> ... 5:20.  Good gods.

02:46 <Schism> Well, good luck.  @_@

02:46 <Schism> I think I came close to that on a single run, and that was more like 6 hours.

02:48 <Cepheid> ...?  Quick save in the final boss battle..? o.O?

02:49 <Schism> That's new.  I don't remember that being in my version of the randomizer.

02:50 <Schism> Oh.  That is new.  Huh.

02:51 <Cepheid> ...

02:52 <Cepheid> Okay, that's screwed up.

02:52 <Cepheid> I continued from the save.

02:52 <Cepheid> Fine and dandy.

02:52 <Cepheid> Exxceeeeeppppttt..

02:52 <Cepheid> My Vessel is used up because the auto-save occurred *AFTER* I used it.

02:53 <Schism> Yerk.  Fuuuurgh.

02:53 <Schism> Reset the save and see if that does it?

02:53 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2083 [ http://tinyurl.com/rfmyh2q ]

02:53 <Schism> That is, F9, reset, load save?

02:53 <Cepheid> I have to load save, yeah.

02:54 <Cepheid> Before you start the battle, use the quicksave spot.

02:54 <Cepheid> If you use it during the battle, it can become useless.

02:54 <Schism> Well, it's a nice idea at least.

02:54 <Schism> Ahh.

02:55 <Cepheid> It only triggers once, and only once.  You have to leave the room for it to work again.

02:55 <Schism> Kind of difficult to leave that room like that, though... I do have to wonder if that could happen with an extra-long, hacked lamp of time.

02:56 <Schism> Suspending triggers can lead to all sorts of fun, aberrant behaviour.

02:59 <Schism> By the way, Cepheid, you might want to embed a point in your executable which generates a hash based on all the files as they load.  That hash can then be displayed to all.

03:00 <Cepheid> Shield certainly tries to block that beam, that's for sure.

03:00 <Cepheid> And oh?

03:00 <Schism> Certainly.  That would let players see if a certain set of mods were being used for that particular run.

03:00 <Cepheid> Ah, right.  Yeah, I'll do it then.

03:01 <Schism> Probably not the greatest anti-cheating algorithm ever made, but.. well, you don't care about cheating per se anyway.

03:02 <Schism> A simple hash -- and yeah, it could be faked -- is good enough when your program is in the hands of the enemy anyway.

03:02 <Cepheid> No, but it'd certainly work if I say, embedded the hash somewhere in the results file.

03:03 * Cepheid defeats the first form without taking any damage.

03:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: AGiant Lego Pinkie Pie Statue!  [ http://tinyurl.com/srgvfwp ]

03:03 <Schism> That'd not be a bad idea.  You could also say it's 'calculating results'.

03:04 <Schism> Hehe.  Followed by MD5s of the major discrepancies.

03:04 <Schism> Or just a note saying, "Save statistics".

03:05 <Schism> So that anyone with an unmodded version can't play it back without the right files.

03:07 <Cepheid> Got ya!

03:07 * Cepheid defeats The Mother with no subweapons!

03:07 <Schism> Huzzah!

03:08 <Schism> Okay, I've eaten.  Time to get some sleep, else I'm going to be as useless tomorrow as I've been today.

03:10 <Schism> Actually, the best thing you can do is probably to say at the start, "This is a modded version of the game.  We offer no support.  If you seek mercy upon your soul, I shan't give it.  That's God's domain."

03:12 * Schism is also imagining Cepheid releasing a 'pirated!' version of a free game, where the pirate is chased by infinite cats.

03:12 <Ali> Also I learned something annoying

03:12 <Schism> Okay, this is too silly.  need sleep.

03:12 <Ali> Pulling up an assembler while its in the middle of making an item, destroys the item in progress with no refunds of the items

03:13 <Schism> Y...es, that's because it's breaking down the parts and repurposing them into something else.

03:13 * Cepheid squirms and relaxes in response to the ending theme.

03:14 <Schism> Scree.

03:14 <Schism> Anyway, to slumber.  Gaaaah.

03:14 <Cepheid> Huh, Deceased Crab really is mentioned in the credits.

19:31 <Cepheid> Yea, what a fruit is considered is dependent on how it grows.

19:31 <Cepheid> Similar to veggies.

19:33 <Lumindia> my entire life has been a lie

21:16 <Cepheid> Rrrghhggh.

21:16 <Cepheid> My line intersection algorithm doesn't appear to be working right.

21:29 <Cepheid> No.  It appears to be working right.  It's just, for whatever deranged reason, processing the lines as if they were mirrored.

21:52 <Cepheid> ... Wikipedia apparently uses the wrong formula?

21:59 <Cepheid> ... Andrew, it helps if you use the right sign for one of the mathematical formulas.

21:59 <Cepheid> The numerator for U is supposed to be negative.

22:00 <Cepheid> Er, rather..

22:00 <Cepheid> The result of u is supposed to be -(uNum / uDen)

22:42 <Schism> It's nice of that shoe to drop.  I was wondering when the weather would do its very best to murder me.

22:42 <Schism> After all, February is almost over.

22:42 <Cepheid> Bad day with the weather?

22:43 <Schism> WELL, let's see, 20 cm of snow on the ground and 60kph gusts, I'd say that's pretty bad.

22:45 <Cepheid> Yep.

22:46 <Cepheid> Someone needs to come up with a new bathroom device.  What does it do?  You load it with epsom salts or something of the like, and it mixes in with the water, such that you can then use the salts in a shower.

22:46 <Cepheid> I'm too tall to fit in my bathtub, so I can't really take a relaxing bath, etc.

22:46 *** Joins: Heartbreak (Heartbreak@Pony-gja4ce.mn.comcast.net)

22:46 <Schism> You could fill up a small tub with hot water and epsom salts, and use a scrubby.

22:47 <Cepheid> Yeah.  I'm debating doing that at some point.  My body would probably like me for it.

22:49 <Cepheid> Hum.  What could make the interior of my nose swell up?

22:51 <Schism> Airborne allergen?

22:51 <Schism> If it gets caught in your nose hairs that could do it.

22:51 <Cepheid> Yeah, looking at a list of stuff.

22:51 <Cepheid> Suggestions include using a humidifier, and avoiding hot forced air heating.

22:52 <Cepheid> Kinda like what we have for our house.  I wonder if taping over the vent in my bedroom would help any. The vent covers are utterly useless in blocking airflow, so..

22:53 <Cepheid> The worst part about it is that my dad has a habit of opening his window in the middle of the night, so the heating kicks on constantly.

22:53 <Cepheid> My dad prefers sleeping in the cold.  Sometimes I think he's undead, or something.

22:54 <Cepheid> ... That's... not a good headline.

22:54 <Cepheid> "South Korean official in charge of 'coronavirus outbreak' commits suicide."

22:56 <Cepheid> I know the Asian populace has a strong sense of honor in varying forms, but that's going a bit far.  A better choice would have been to pick yourself up from the failure to prevent the spread to your country, and then work towards finding a way to contain it or even prevent further spreading.

23:01 <Schism> Unless, due to the week-long incubation period without any symptoms, there is literally no way to contain the outbreak.

23:02 <Cepheid> The only real way to probably contain it would be to prevent anyone exhibiting any illness symptoms, even down to a temperature out of a range, from getting onto any form of mass transit.

23:02 <Cepheid> But good luck with that.

23:03 <Schism> No way, that'd shut down everything.

23:03 <Cepheid> In my case, I'm gonna be grabbing a box of face masks.  Any time I go outside, I carry some with me and make use of them.  I'm not in an area at risk, but I do have respiratory problems, along with a distracted immune system.

23:03 <Schism> Mm... well.  I mean, uh.  Good luck finding some?

23:03 <Cepheid> Oh, it's not hard.

23:04 <Cepheid> It's hand cleaner that's the problem.

23:04 <Schism> Also, make sure that they're just not dust masks.  Those only block the larger particulates.

23:04 <Schism> Oh, yeah.  It took me forever to find a bottle of hand sanitizer.  But since it's been a couple weeks and I'm only halfway through it, I suppose that $11 was a decent price.

23:06 <Schism> The refill-size bottle was a very good decision.

23:12 <Schism> Also, I know you're not going to like this, but... https://i.insider.com/5e55b2f1fee23d7edc628104?width=1300&format=jpeg&auto=webp

23:14 <Cepheid> The local Rexall I go to on a regular basis seems to have a lot of stuff of both.

23:14 <Cepheid> For some reason, the Rexall just... isn't frequented.

23:14 <Schism> Yeah, compared to Shoppers, it's less well-traversed.

23:16 <Cepheid> Rexall's usually pretty busy, but this one?  No, it's dead.

23:16 <Cepheid> It's so dead they actually started opening the store later.

23:16 <Schism> Huh.  Location, location, location.

23:16 <Schism> I know the Shoppers on Bridgeport & Weber over here changed their hours.  Just went from 24-hour to 8-midnight.

23:18 <Schism> Meanwhile, Japan is shutting down all its schools.

23:19 <Finwe> Good evening, my ungulates with an odd number of toes.

23:20 <Finwe> Messrs Cepheid and Schism; Mlles DashedRainbows and Sleeping_Nightmares.

23:20 * Finwe doffs his hat

23:20 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

23:20 * Schism doffs his hand sanitizer.

23:21 <Finwe> Carnivorous coronavirus.

23:21 <Cepheid> Finwe.

23:21 <Schism> Yeah, and PETA is an anagram of delicious, delicious pate.

23:21 * Cepheid noms on triangles and points.

23:22 * Schism offers the Cepheid some braunschweiger with mustard, atop rye crackers.

23:23 <Cepheid> ... Monogame, why do you not offer a dot product operation for your 2D vectors?

23:24 <Finwe> <x,y> = xTy. o3o

23:25 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/PI1vMWi.png

23:26 <Cepheid> Finwe:  I have no idea what that is.

23:27 <Finwe> The inner product for Euclidean vectors is just the transpose of the first multiplied by the second.

23:27 <Finwe> Miss Ali.

23:27 * Lumindia hugs an Ali

23:27 <Schism> So, Lumin, we getting NG+ experience again?

23:27 <Schism> Or, I should say, now?

23:27 * Finwe pro primo doffs his hat, and, pro secundo, noms on Ali's tail.

23:28 * Ali squeaks and flops over

23:28 <Lumindia> yeah

23:28 <Lumindia> I have to say I wasn't expecting that outcome

23:28 <Ali> Something related to 14?

23:28 * PrincessRainbows flops on Ali and licks

23:28 <Schism> Well, it was pretty much a given.

23:28 <Schism> And yes.

23:29 <Schism> I should see if NG+ as a SAM main will give me appropriate exp. in HW.  Admittedly, that won't be QUITE enough to level me through the whole thing, but it'll be helpful.

23:31 <Cepheid> Finwe:  Assume that I'm not a mathematician.  Assume I'm a grade-3 math student.

23:31 <Schism> ELI5, in other words.

23:31 * PrincessRainbows also chews on Finwe's hat

23:31 <Finwe> Cepheid: To get the dot product, multiply the elements at matching indices and sum up.

23:32 <Schism> I should refamiliarize myself with matrix transforms.

23:32 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's more in line with what I know, yes.

23:32 <Cepheid> I just wasn't aware of that particular form you expressed.

23:33 <Finwe> Inner product is just the generalisation of dot product.

23:34 <Finwe> If your vectors are, say, sin(x) and cos(x), it's more convenient to write <sin(x),cos(x)> than sin(x).cos(x).

23:34 <Cepheid> It's less that, and more I've never seen that notation altogether.

23:36 <Finwe> Cosine and sine are found to be orthogonal with respect to each other when the inner product is defined to be <x,y> = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi}x(t)y(t)dt.

23:36 <Finwe> o3o

23:37 * Cepheid shrugs. Goes back to what he was doing.

23:38 * Finwe hats on Ali and watches one episode of Xena, Warrior Princess.

23:38 * Ali squeaks as she goes back to Factorio

23:44 <Cepheid> Hum.  Implementing this is gonna be tricky.
