10:38 <Ali> Base is struggling hard to keep up.
10:38 * ConfusionRift slowly nods.
10:39 <ConfusionRift> I think that was when the older base started catching fire.
10:39 <Ali> Hmm?
10:39 <ConfusionRift> When we moved to the yellow science.
10:39 <Ali> This phase change just didn't go well is all. Just didn't plan things right it seems
10:40 <Ali> Its been awhile since we MP'd Factorio ConfusionRift, I'm not remembering that too well.
10:41 <ConfusionRift> I kinda remember us having a shutdown. Which triggered the whole "WE NEED SOLAR PANELS, AND LOADS OF THEM!", which just turned the north into a shock hazard.
10:42 * Cepheid walks in covered in rubber matting. "What shock hazard?" Electricity is arcing off a nearby accumulator onto him somehow.
10:42 <ConfusionRift> I was gonna make as smartbutt remark and say I was holding a Genesis controller, but the 6 button config has an X as well.
10:43 <Ali> Last I remember was a game where the bugs got so bad I lagged every time there was an attack
10:43 <ConfusionRift> I also remember that.
10:43 <Ali> Rifty, have you played .18 yet? Not a ton changed but its more quality of life
10:43 <ConfusionRift> If I remember correctly, we had lasers AND flamethrowers. :P
10:44 <Ali> Also I got the achievement for beating the game without lazors
10:44 <Cepheid> Bleh. Gotta stay awake for at least 5 more hours. Appointment with respirologist today.
10:45 <ConfusionRift> Haven't played it in-depth. Let's say that work has been a headache, and haven't felt like playing much at all. I might get on it in a bit. Just trying to cool down.

10:51 * ConfusionRift rubs his nose a bit.
10:54 <Cepheid> So, bets on what the doctor says about my CT scan, and about long runs of antibiotics?
10:55 <ConfusionRift> Not a clue.
10:56 <ConfusionRift> Probably one of those "The heck is that?!".
10:56 <Cepheid> I'm betting "no idea."
10:57 <Cepheid> As for the antibiotics, no idea. My mother can be a bit forceful though, so I am a tad worried.

11:21 <ConfusionRift> Alright. Gonna jump in. Got an interesting setup-sorta-maybe-probably- doubt.
11:23 <Cepheid> Hmm?
11:25 <ConfusionRift> Setup adds abundant resources with large chunks, and bugs do not evolve over time. To compensate, the place is separated into small islands and archipelagos. Meaning that rarer resources are further away and require some terraforming. Bug are sectioned off, but reproduce more rapidly. Bases are in larger numbers, so I NEED a vehicle (likely a tank). Killing bases increase evolution exponentially, and are easier to tick off..
11:27 <ConfusionRift> I need a vehicle to get oil and uranium. Also, research is more expensive.
11:28 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah. A lot of cliffs, so space is limited.

11:33 <Ali> ConfusionRift, sounds like you're trying to make life horrible
11:34 <ConfusionRift> It forces me to either speed things up, or bunker and really prepare the big guns for a fight for supremacy... and a patch of oil.

11:38 <Cepheid> Like rather than small patches of red, it is nothing but a solid wall of red.
11:38 <Ali> Yeah I understand
11:39 <Ali> Deathworlds are just a sea of red and constant attacks right?
11:40 <Cepheid> More or less. Pollution control can reduce the attack frequency, but not by much.
11:47 * ConfusionRift goes straight to electric.
11:48 <Cepheid> That is what we would have to do on a deathworld. Get turrets, walls, mass produce both and ammo, then beeline straight for electricity, efficiency modules, and electric furnaces.
11:49 <Cepheid> Someone would have to literally be handcrafting ammo the entire time up to automation of ammo. Or hand-feeding an automation setup.
11:52 <Ali> Also sounds like a world where you do not want to play alone on
11:53 <Cepheid> For the record, if I ever complete this game I am making, the next one is being made in Unity or Unreal Engine. Unless this engine I am making turns out incredibly reliable, sturdy, and performant.

12:04 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;
12:04 <Cepheid> ... On a randomizer run. I also killed The Mother with no subweapons. Just the angel shield and primary weapons.
12:05 <ConfusionRift> 5 hours is still pretty fast.
12:08 <Cepheid> I can do better.
12:09 <Cepheid> If I write a list of items I need in sequence, and do a normal run, I can probably finish it rapidly.
12:10 <Cepheid> For sake of speed, the pistol would be abused on as many bosses as possible.
12:11 <Cepheid> Or at least, the hardest ones. For me that would probaboy be Viy and Baphomet.
12:12 <Cepheid> Especially as to cut down on time, I'd have to skip unimportant items. Maps, sacred orbs and a few others.
12:13 <Cepheid> Might do it this weekend coming up, in fact.
12:13 <Cepheid> Or after I finish LM2. Started that yesterday.
12:13 <Cepheid> Sequence breaking the hell out of it too. Got the chain whip before I got the Ice Cape.
12:14 <Cepheid> Turns out, if you have enough health, you can just brute force the chain whip puzzle.
12:14 <Cepheid> Lava? Pah. I'll just swim and tank the pain.
12:15 * ConfusionRift doesn't remember very well.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait... OH YEAH. i DID THE SAME. :p
12:17 <ConfusionRift> The idea is to set up the blocks proper before dunking into the lava and swimming as soon as you can.
12:17 <ConfusionRift> And not forget that moving a bit too much to the right resets everything.
12:18 <Cepheid> Immortal Battlefield. Lefthand side. There is a sealed weapon puzzle with two blocks and a pool of lava. You have to push the lower block onto the left button, swim through the lava, then push the upper block onto the right button.
12:19 * ConfusionRift nods.
12:19 <Cepheid> Ah you recalled it as I was typing.
12:19 <ConfusionRift> Sowwy.
12:20 <Cepheid> Yeah that one is tricky less because of the lava and more because of the fact that you don't think to crawl to get next to the first block after it is pushed over the edge.
12:20 <Cepheid> The lava can just be tanked despite the riddles suggestion.
12:20 <ConfusionRift> Yep. I keep forgetting she can crawl, unlike her dad with bad joints.
12:21 <Cepheid> Yep.
12:21 <Cepheid> I wonder one detail though.
12:22 <Cepheid> At the end of the first game, Lameza and Shorn have the Power of The Mother. The same power The Mother used to create some of the Child races.
12:22 <Cepheid> It is in Crystalized form, sure.
12:23 <Cepheid> But, there is one nagging detail. At no point is it implied that Lameza had a girlfriend or wife. Not even in his research notes.
12:23 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
12:24 <Cepheid> ... My logical conclusion is that the Power was used to create Lumisa.
12:25 <ConfusionRift> Another bit of a problem with that. Wouldn't that mean she's of a following generation instead of the same as her father?
12:26 <Schism> "Either way, she is a Kosugi; that much is clear."
12:26 <Cepheid> That would be the case Rifty.
12:26 <Cepheid> That would make her a 9th child.
12:27 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
12:28 <ConfusionRift> There are several interactions with others who refer to her as part of the 8th generation. Also, who's there to say she isn't adopted? Or maybe she was cared for when not on research?
12:29 <Cepheid> Not that it would necessarily mean anything special for her. If she was created in much the same way as the 8th Children, there would be no residual connection to The Mother, other than being a creation. The Eg-Lana ruins, like the La-Mulana ruins, would see her as an unknown
12:30 <Cepheid> It is assumed she is a part of the 8th generation.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> Actually...
12:30 <Cepheid> Simply because up until the gamez no one at the ruins have met her.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> I just remembered something.
12:30 <Cepheid> Nor did they hear about her from her father.
12:30 <Cepheid> Stupid autocorrect.
12:31 * Ali rolls around
12:31 <ConfusionRift> I remember one of the others implying she was of clay. But that might be them mocking her.
12:31 <Cepheid> In any case, it is an assumption by the philosophers that she is of the 8th Children. If she gave off no sort of aura to suggest otherwise, they'd never know.
12:32 <Cepheid> Well, technically all childrennpast the sixth are made from clay
12:32 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.
12:33 <Cepheid> I don't recall the lore exactly, but the sixth children were the mudken, who were created in the Chamber of Birth
12:33 <Cepheid> The seventh were a revision of the sixth.
12:33 <ConfusionRift> I do remember that.
12:33 <Cepheid> The seventh created the eight using the same technology.
12:34 <ConfusionRift> With the stipulation that they have no recollection or connection to Mother.
12:34 <Cepheid> So by definition, the sixth, seventh and eighth are all borne of the same technique. Just with revisions.
12:35 <Cepheid> And if the seventh could create a new generation with no memory of The Mother, then it is not impossible that with the Power of The Mother, another generation could be created with no memory of The Mother.
12:35 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, it's not far off, but... hold on.
12:36 <Cepheid> It would also give justification of Lameza and Shorn keeping their distance. They are known to be carrying the crystalized form of The Mothers power. It is mentioned in the research notes. Perhaps they need to keep it away fronlm Lumisa.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> ...Shawn. :P
12:37 * Schism throws up. "Not working today."
12:37 <Cepheid> She could be a potential host.
12:37 <Cepheid> It's officially Shorn.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> Really? Huh.
12:38 <Cepheid> Yeah. It is in the credits of the remake, if I recall correctly.
12:38 <Cepheid> Quick way to check would be to watch the LM2 opening. I think it names all the characters.
12:38 <ConfusionRift> If it's Shorn, then why do the research notes in the sequel refer to him as Shawn as well? Then again, could be a translation thing maybe?
12:38 <Cepheid> Retcon perhaps?
12:39 <Cepheid> LM1 didn't exactly get the best localisation.
12:39 <Cepheid> Both the original and remake.
12:39 <ConfusionRift> Especially the original.
12:39 <Cepheid> Can't wait to see how NISA butchers it.

12:42 <ConfusionRift> Rasafrasamalbrukbruk?
12:48 <ConfusionRift> Man, this on keyboard is kinda meh.
12:48 <ConfusionRift> Also, yep. Probable retcon or typo.
12:49 <ConfusionRift> Doubt they will butcher it more than it was before. Now, I hope it's an updated port from the latest Steam version, and not an old port.
12:51 <ConfusionRift> I'm sorry, but that Wii version was an absolute mess.
12:53 <Cepheid> Pretty sure it is at this point.
12:53 <Cepheid> Wonder if they fixed the golden rock puzzle in LM2 for it.
12:54 <Cepheid> Especially as it is kind of a progress-breaker.
12:54 <Cepheid> Sorta.
12:54 <Cepheid> Like in the original LM the puzzle, fortunately, can be worked around.
12:55 <Cepheid> Officially, the solution is to use the Lamp of Time to stop it from falling, but apparently that doesn't work in the current version of LM2 on the PC.
12:56 <Cepheid> The work-around is timing. You can reach a safe spot before it crushes you.
12:57 * ConfusionRift nods.
12:57 <ConfusionRift> Did... that one as well.
12:57 <ConfusionRift> You have to be real fast with the knife.
12:58 <Cepheid> Yep.
12:59 <ConfusionRift> There's barely enough time for you to break the beam, hop straight to the platform, and break the wall.
13:01 <ConfusionRift> I still have not found the Lamp of Time. And there's an item there required so you can progress on one of the areas that was open long ago.
13:02 <ConfusionRift> Not very happy about that mess.
13:05 <Cepheid> I actually wonder if that puzzle is broken. Like, whether it is an order-of-operations thing.
13:06 <Cepheid> But yeah. Some item locations are tricky to find.
13:06 <Cepheid> And some puzzles... yeah.
13:07 <Cepheid> The lamp of time...
13:07 <Cepheid> I recall something about it's location.
13:07 <Cepheid> If you want a hint to work with.
13:08 <ConfusionRift> I suppose. It would kinda help.
13:08 <Cepheid> You need a gear
13:08 <ConfusionRift> Oooooh.
13:09 <Cepheid> If you have it, I guarantee you have already encountered where to use it.
13:09 <Cepheid> You just need to remember where.
13:09 <ConfusionRift> I don't have the gear, but know where it goes.
13:10 <Cepheid> And all I will say in that respect is "water".
13:10 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:10 <Cepheid> I know you can obtain it. I got that far.
13:10 <Cepheid> No. I got stuck shortly after getting the lamp, if I recall. Not due to the busted puzzle. But rather, I didn't know what to do next.
13:11 <ConfusionRift> I'm dealing with the Ancient Frustration.
13:11 <Cepheid> Right now... I'm supposed to be heading towards the treetop from the Roots entrance. I don't have the claws yet.
13:11 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-q96l0e.4nua.5fca.1702.2600.IP) (Quit: Leaving)
13:11 <Cepheid> Ah. Yeah. I know that problem.
13:12 <Cepheid> That is the biggest gripe I have with LM2. Each guardian you kill causes more enemies to spawn. Like in LM1. But it is out of control.
13:12 <ConfusionRift> Wait... you got the lamp... but not the claw?
13:13 <Cepheid> Next gripe is the equippable items. With no hints that you can unequip the Gale Fibula. Or having to switch to the armor all the time.
13:13 <Cepheid> New game.
13:13 <ConfusionRift> Oh.
13:13 <Cepheid> I started over because I had not played since like, January of last year.
13:13 <Cepheid> Going into an LM game after such a break is... not a good idea.
13:14 <Cepheid> So I started over. Using what bits I can recall to sequence break where I can.
13:14 <ConfusionRift> After constantly headbutting everything, i figured there should be an option to unequip the Gale Fibula.
13:15 <Cepheid> Like getting sigils earlier than intended in a proper path play. Or the chain whip before the Ice Cape. Or getting to Icefire Treetop through the Battlefield rather than through that accursed drgn.
13:15 <Cepheid> Yeah that's what I figured too. But still.
13:15 <Cepheid> Put a note about it.
13:15 <ConfusionRift> Also, the enemies thing was after killing a specific boss, and having the bronze mirror.
13:15 <Cepheid> That said, I would have preferred the Super Metroid approach to using it.
13:16 * ConfusionRift nods.
13:16 <ConfusionRift> Alas, only three use buttons.
13:16 <Cepheid> In LM2 it happens with every guardian. Also I'm pretty sure in LM1 the bronze mirror isnt a key for that.
13:16 <ConfusionRift> Well, two.
13:16 <Cepheid> Because I've seen new monsters in LM1 before getting the mirror.
13:17 <Cepheid> The most obvious example is the three lights room. After some point, souls/ghosts appear. And it is before you get the mirror.
13:18 <Cepheid> I'll confirm another day I guess.
13:18 <Cepheid> When I do my speedrun for fun.
13:18 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, might be right.
13:19 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, with LM2, there is one critical item I just absolutely, positively cannot recall the location of.
13:19 <Cepheid> And it pisses me off.
13:19 <ConfusionRift> I know that the game mentions that as you progress, the Lokapala are getting ready for the end.
13:20 <ConfusionRift> The explains why the show up in other areas afterwards. Not so much the other monsters.
13:20 <Cepheid> I do not recall where to find Mirai. Or whatever it is called in LM2. The program that allows warping to the backside.
13:21 <ConfusionRift> I know you can find it in one of the shops. I just forget which.
13:21 <Cepheid> Well, arguably there are a few reasons I can think of for the extra monsters besides the lokapala.
13:21 <Cepheid> Soul gates get opened. More freedom for monsters to move around. Also, the guardians aren't so much as guardians it seems this time around, and more like seals.
13:22 <Cepheid> Since killing them seems to upset the inhabitants. Vrita and all that. Loki also specifically wants us to kill the guardians for some reason.
13:23 <Cepheid> So one theory is that we are weakening a seal on something, allowing that something greater influence with the creatures it creates.
13:23 <ConfusionRift> Oh, I remember now!
13:24 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, let's see...
13:24 <Cepheid> Seems to align with the Lokapala goals too. We are doing something they *WANT*.
13:24 <ConfusionRift> Future Development Company. All I can say is QUACK.
13:24 <Cepheid> I have that.
13:25 <ConfusionRift> Then you're set.
13:25 <Cepheid> It wont- .... i probably forgot to scan the tablets.
13:25 <ConfusionRift> ...
13:25 <Cepheid> Got used to the Randomizer of LM1.
13:25 <Cepheid> With its "walk in front to register" feature.
13:26 <Cepheid> That's why I can't warp to them. I forgot to scan the danged things.
13:26 <ConfusionRift> Yooohboy.
13:26 <Cepheid> I am an idiot.
13:26 <Cepheid> At least now I'll remember.
13:27 <ConfusionRift> I was more of an idiot. I had the app, and didn't realize it was for the warps about 2 hours after getting it.
13:28 <ConfusionRift> This is one major gripe I got from both games. It doesn't bother me that the combos aren't described, but THAT... THAT should be hinted in some way.
13:28 * Schism watches Beo La-Mulana explode into bats, and DeceasedCrab flipping out about it.
13:29 <ConfusionRift> At least it's not Beo La-Mulana shooting lasers.
13:30 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-tpdjag.livnmi.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

13:56 <Cepheid> Speaking of lasers, my randomizer run, the chest protected by that laser statue was a trap.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> Someone's getting bit. :P
13:56 <ConfusionRift> That... that's not nice.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> I feel the randomizer is just as devilish as the game itself.
13:57 <ConfusionRift> It would suck if they suddenly decided to make all chests look the same.

14:50 <Cepheid> Lungs are fine. Scarring remains but it is probably never gonna go away. So whatever is causing my problems lies entirely elsewhere. So blood tests to check other parts of my blood, and biopsies and samples to check.
15:27 <Cepheid> The tests this time are blood tests to check for proteins specific to the immune system, T-blood cell count, etc. Also investigation of what is directly, physically located in my lungs.

20:18 <Ali> I swear Cepheid I don't know how I haven't been run over by a train yet.
20:47 <Cepheid> The $300 comforter my parents bought me has arrived.
20:48 <Ali> Oh how did the results go Cepheid?
20:48 <Ali> Inb4 more tests
20:49 * PrincessRainbows sniffs the Ali for sugar cubes
20:49 <Cepheid> My lungs are fine. Usual scarring, but it is actually going away. No idea what's wrong to cause so much breathing troubles.
20:50 * Ali gives PrincessRainbows treats instead
20:50 <Ali> You know for doctors they certainly don't know what's going on
20:50 * PrincessRainbows wags her tail and noms
20:50 <Cepheid> So now I'm having my blood checked for a protein count, and I have to collect samples of the crap that comes out of my lungs, and see my ENT.
20:55 <Ali> You think 1 fusion reactor is enough in power armor MK2 or should I have two?
20:56 <Cepheid> I'd make four, then use them to charge a bunch of mark 2 batteries, then swap the reactors out for gear.
