05:33 * Cepheid wonders if he wants sub-pixel precision for movement. This has it's ups and downs.

05:35 * Cepheid puts on LM2 - Tearless Challenger. A remix of Fearless Challenger from LM1, made for the special hell that is called the Spiral Hell, a spiral-themed remix of the absolutely infuriating and insanity-inducing Hell Temple of LM1. Which is actually the final area of LM2.

05:36 <Cepheid> It's not as bad as the original, but it does keep some of the more infuriating parts.

05:37 <Cepheid> The Lands of Hell still exist, in a sense.  They're filled with minibosses of LM2.  And there's one room in the original Hell Temple that infuriated a lot of players because it involved some particularly infuriating wall climbing and jumps.  That was retained in it's full glory.

05:40 <Cepheid> Hum.

05:40 <Cepheid> For those of you here who play platformers, a question.

05:40 <Cepheid> Spikes, if they hurt the player, should they too also hurt the enemies?

05:43 <Cepheid> Hum, actually...  I want the world to be the "neutral" party of sorts.  That is, enemies aren't immune to it's traps.  Thus, crushers will crush enemies.  So spikes should also harm enemies.  I'll give it a shot and see how it works out in practice.

06:35 <Cepheid> Tizzy, is there a reason you're demanding attention from me, and then biting me when I give you attention?

06:42 *** Joins: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal_Nig@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)

06:45 <Ali> Cat be cat Cepheid

06:45 <Ali> Luna wants attentions, but she doesn't want held

06:45 <Ali> It...annoys me a bit

06:46 <Cepheid> Oh.  It's not that she wants pets.

06:46 <Cepheid> She wants scritches of the ears.

06:47 <Ali> And now Tia is being a demandypants Cepheid

06:48 <Ali> She wants attentions and brushies, then *yays* off to eat.

06:48 <Cepheid> That's cats for ye.

06:53 <Ali> So how's the LM2 progression been going?

06:54 <Schism> "Hi, I'm Spider!  If you're allowed to talk to our chief, then what's his name?" "...Spider." "That's right!  You must be allowed."

06:56 <Cepheid> Ali:  Stalled at the final boss for the moment.

06:56 <Cepheid> I'll likely have it dead in a day or two.

06:56 <Cepheid> Schism:  The Spiral Hell, the final area of LM2?  It's comprised of rooms from the Hell Temple from LM1.

06:57 <Schism> Aye, I did see that.  @_@

06:57 <Cepheid> Without most of the puzzles, riddles and *YAY*, but it's still pretty traumatizing to encounter after having done the Hell Temple yourself, or watching DC go insane from it.

06:58 <Cepheid> The Lands of Hell are replaced with minibosses from LM2.  And at least one well-known, infuriating room makes an appearance.

06:58 <Schism> Pah, DC going insane was the best part of Hell Temple.

06:58 <Schism> Wall climbing and jumps... you mean the grapple claw tunnels?

06:58 <Cepheid> Yes.

06:58 <Schism> Lovely.

06:59 <Cepheid> In every case that I've gotten past it, it was a fluke.

06:59 <Cepheid> I hit one of the spikes, but regained control before I fell past the passage I was trying to reach.

07:00 <Cepheid> Fortunately, Naramura throws you a bone or three.  There's shortcuts, and the grail point is literally right before the final boss.

07:00 <Schism> That's at least nice.  o.o

07:01 <Cepheid> But still.

07:01 <Cepheid> I enter it, and I hear the characteristic opening part of the Hell Temple.  And I just went "... ****."

07:02 <Cepheid> That said, funnily enough, this does one thing.

07:02 <Cepheid> It makes the Hell Temple a canon thing, and not just some hidden thing tacked onto LM1 for a joke.

07:03 <Cepheid> Which means the bathing suit is canon.  It's a real item that exists in the series lore.

07:07 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI__BW-btw4 This is the Spiral Hell theme, by the way.

07:07 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

07:07 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about La-Mulana 2 OST extended - Tearless Challenger (Spiral Hell theme)

07:08 <Cepheid> It's a remix of Fearless Challenger.

07:08 <Cepheid> Actually a decent theme for it, too.

07:15 <Cepheid> I still proclaim the homage I am making to the La-Mulana series to be the absolute ultimate La-Mulana puzzle.

07:28 <Schism> Tearless Challenger is certainly better than the original Fearless Challenger theme.  Yeesh.

07:29 <Cepheid> I have more of a preference for the original version and it's remake.

07:30 <Cepheid> That said, it is pretty fitting to use a remix of Fearless Challenger for the final area.

07:30 <Cepheid> Basically a way of saying "The series started with Fearless Challenger, so it'll end with it as well."

07:31 <Cepheid> That is, in regards to exploring the ruins.

07:33 * Golden is feeling furious at Metal King Slimes right now.

07:36 <Cepheid> Heh.

08:39 <Ali> Well so much for floppin on Rifty

08:44 <Golden> So....many king metal slimes....all they do is run!!!!

08:50 <Finwe> Good forenoon, everypony!

08:50 <Finwe> Miss Ali, Mr Golden.

08:50 * Finwe doffs his hat.

08:50 * Ali flops over the Finwe

08:50 <Finwe> Capt Koopz.

08:50 <Finwe> o7

08:51 * Golden flops. He has been up since ten am the previous day trying to kill Metal King Slimes.

08:51 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7

08:51 * Finwe noms on his luch: salad with grilled salmon.

08:52 <Ali> Anypony else think their country is overreacting to the virus?

08:52 <Ali> I mean colleges around here are shutting down and things

08:52 * Koopz glances over at his Granny Smith... to be snacked on in about 2 hours

08:53 <Ali> It makes no sense. I understand concern, but this is extreme for how low the numbers are.

08:53 <Koopz> there's other matters far more concerning.

08:53 <Koopz> Do you have enough toilet paper?

08:54 <Finwe> :D

08:54 * Ali rolls around Finwe

08:55 <Koopz> better stock up on a few hundred rolls of TP just to be sure

08:55 * Finwe rolls around Ali, forming a binary pony system.

09:01 <Finwe> Ali: We haven't got many infections yet, and hence no extreme reactions.

09:01 <Ali> We've had a few here in my state

09:02 <Ali> and now EVERYTHING is panicing

09:02 <Ali> Two major uni's have gone to online only, several schools are online only

09:02 <Ali> I don't like it, its so overreactive.

09:04 <Finwe> I was mailed some instructions by the university administration yesterday.

09:05 <Finwe> No guests from strongly infected areas, no travelling to the aforementioned areas, arrange online meetings instead.

09:06 <Ali> Yeah but this is also March Madness time

09:06 <Ali> And they're gonna be doing tournies without fans

09:06 <Ali> It seems so excessive

09:06 <Ali> For something that has less than 1% of the US infected

09:06 <Koopz> 80 million people in germany, 1296 confirmed cases. I don't keep myself updated on what the public is doing but the reactions i get from others are just making jokes about it

09:07 <Finwe> Ali: What, the hares?

09:08 <Ali> Yeah Koopz, the infected rate here is like 1.62e-7

09:08 * Finwe googles frantically.

09:08 <Ali> Why are we freaking out like everyone has it

09:08 <Ali> NCAA Basketball Finwe

09:08 <Finwe> Yes, found it.

09:08 <Koopz> i'd sure love to know what the hell the italians are doing

09:08 <Finwe> We call the common hare's breeding season march madness.

09:09 <Ali> The big yearly tourny is coming up

09:09 <Ali> Freaking out like the US is Koopz

09:09 <Ali> Stocks here have TANKED for no damnable reason.

09:09 <Finwe> It takes place in March and the hares act in somewhat mad manner during the breeding season.

09:10 <Ali> Well they're feeling frisky and don't want others around

09:10 <Ali> I mean I don't mind that there's awareness for this virus

09:11 <Ali> But giving it all this attention with such a low infection rate is beyond me

09:11 <Ali> It has a 2% Mortality rate

09:12 <Ali> People just need to take chill pills and just take basic healthcare precautions.

09:13 <Finwe> Ali: And wear long cloaks and beaked masks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor#/media/File:Medico_peste.jpg

09:14 <Ali> Yes, cause its the black plauge all over again.

09:16 <Finwe> The plague is caused by bacteria.

09:16 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

09:16 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Jonathan Coulton - Bacteria [H.Q.]

09:17 <Finwe> Probably the best song ever with words from KFC's employee education film.

09:19 <Finwe> Not as good as Christmas on Chiron Beta Prime, though.

09:20 <Ali> I don't know, I have something pretty funny but I don't think I should like that here.

10:33 * ConfusionRift checks on Cepheid. 0_0

10:36 <Cepheid> I'm fine, I'm fine.  It's not COVID-19, for starters.  I have no fever, as part of my proof.  It's just a really bad chronic lung problem.

10:38 * PrincessRainbows hugs ConfusionRift tightly and tears up before curling up to sleep again

10:39 * ConfusionRift huggles PrincessRainbows back.

10:41 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, doubted for it to be the case. Something like bronchitis or pneumonia is more probable, especially with season and weather changes.

10:46 <ConfusionRift> Also, sinus history.

10:47 <Cepheid> Well, it's less a lung thing and more... it's the trachea, specifically.

10:47 <Cepheid> All of the congestion, pain, scratchiness and such is in the trachea.

10:47 <Cepheid> My lungs, at last scan, showed no problems themselves.  Just the usual scarring.

10:50 <Cepheid> The cats have been trouble all night.

10:51 <Cepheid> First, one of them drags a bit of their leavings out from the cat litter and deposit it on a carpeted floor, which I stepped on.  It smelled like *YAY*.  I cleaned that up.

10:51 <Cepheid> And now, just now, Tizzy vomited.  And was trying to eat it.

11:55 <Cepheid> "Doors now properly melt or don't melt in various situations."

11:56 <Lunanightwind> Im debaring what i should stream this afternoon

12:15 * Cepheid induces Ragnarok.

12:18 <Cepheid> I guarantee, with 100% certainty, that you will go "****, nope, I'm out." the moment you see the final area of LM2, ConfusionRift.

12:18 <ConfusionRift> ...

12:18 <Cepheid> Especially if you are familiar with all of LM1 inside and out.

12:18 <Cepheid> Has nice music, at least.

12:18 <Cepheid> It's a remix of Fearless Challenger, the theme for the Gate of Guidance in LM1.

12:20 <ConfusionRift> Why do I get a feeling it's another Hell Temple?

12:22 <Cepheid> Want me to spoil?

12:23 <ConfusionRift> Nah, it's fine. I'll get to it eventually... maybe... probably.

12:23 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:24 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: The Top 10 Pony Videos of February 2020 [ http://tinyurl.com/uy3chn8 ]

12:24 <Cepheid> You're actually not that far off, now, to be honest.  You have one major puzzle to deal with, and after that, it's mostly clear sailing to the end.  I say mostly, because the last Guardian is a bit tricky.

12:26 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmemes/comments/fgj9d3/feather_fall_for_life/

12:26 <Lunanightwind> Apparently PSO2 has an open beta release date

12:26 <Lunanightwind> Lets just add that to the cluster of games coming out this month

12:26 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:27 <Cepheid> Isn't it only for the XBox One though?  Or is Microsoft also funding a PC version translation?

12:28 <Cepheid> You know..

12:28 <Cepheid> I really handled LM2 a lot better than I did LM1.

12:28 <Cepheid> Despite the fact that it was technically far more infuriating.

12:29 *** Joins: Lunanightwind_ (Lunanightwi@Pony-acfiub.nh.comcast.net)

12:29 <Lunanightwind_> Cepheid the beta next week is xbox only, PC version is coming this spring though

12:29 <Cepheid> I think it might have something to do with the fact that at 30mg, my body is capable of telling the OCD "Okay, enough's enough.  You need to take a break."

12:29 <Cepheid> And I can actually LISTEN to that order.

12:30 <Cepheid> Ah, I see, I see.

12:30 <Lunanightwind_> Ms is paying for the pc localization too but its been live for 8 years on pc in japan they feel no need to beta test the us release on pc

12:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, the engine's more or less robust and well-tested at this point.

12:35 <Cepheid> At best, the only thing they'd really have to test is to make sure that every path through missions, etc, are properly translated.

12:43 <Lunanightwind> Got a phone call and the chat dropped lol

12:43 * Cepheid goes to do some quick chores. After which he can go LM2.

12:45 <Lunanightwind> Yeah testing every path through missions is about all a us pc version will need, nothing that calls for a beta, the beta on xbox is understandable since its just debuting on xbox, im guessing ince the final drops that the pc and xbox will drop at the same time or at least close to each other

12:52 <Lunanightwind> Alright imma head out for my doctor appointment have a good day yall

12:52 <Cepheid> Hum.  The remix of Fearless Challenger was used, because it basically defined La-Mulana.

12:53 * Cepheid chants *ALL* the mantras around ConfusionRift. He promptly dies.

13:00 <Cepheid> Hum... I'm missing something.

13:15 * ConfusionRift has the soundtrack, so...

13:17 <Cepheid> You listened to it, didn't you?

13:19 * ConfusionRift nods. :P

13:19 <ConfusionRift> Doesn't spoil anything... except that. But still! Have to deal with the massive terminator, and whatever lies ahead.

13:20 <ConfusionRift> Hmm. You got the Spaulder and bombs before finding this guy. Maybe I should look for those.

13:20 <Cepheid> ...

13:20 <ConfusionRift> Later. Too late for that now.

13:20 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?

13:21 <Cepheid> The Beherit(Face Stone)'s description has changed.

13:21 <Cepheid> It reads, simply, "DIE"

13:21 <ConfusionRift> Man, this game sometimes.

13:22 <Cepheid> Well, I mean, it *IS* filled with the dissonance of six races.

13:22 <ConfusionRift> Hmm. Just gonna search something to see about this little detail concerning the pistol.

13:32 * ConfusionRift chuckles.

13:34 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid, question. I'm gonna guess you're probably gonna add riddles and puzzles that may drive some crazy. Now, would these be based on this made world, or would they be based on the real world?

13:34 <Cepheid> Set in the future, on a different planet.  So based on a made-up world.

13:35 <ConfusionRift> Oh right. Forgot you mentioned the premise somewhat.

13:37 <Cepheid> Bah.  I can't figure this out.

13:37 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?

13:38 <Cepheid> I can't beat the final boss.  None of the weapons I have do anything.  They are all deflected.

13:40 <ConfusionRift> Oooooohbooooy.

13:41 * ConfusionRift can't wait. "My sarcasm alarm has stopped working."

13:44 <Cepheid> I'd like to say I am missing an item, but I have the achievement for filling every item slot.

13:55 <Cepheid> I'm wondering if it's a case of extremely-small-hitbox.

13:57 <Cepheid> Nope.  Hit that entire thing with flares.  Not a dent.

13:58 <Cepheid> ...

13:58 <Cepheid> I wonder.

13:59 * PrincessRainbows flops on ConfusionRift

14:01 <ConfusionRift> Okay, this video is already giving me a massive headache.

14:03 <Cepheid> Whelp, that idea failed.

14:03 <Cepheid> And video?

14:04 <ConfusionRift> "Why is it that this SM64 60FPS/HD mod has so much jitter and motion problems?" | I dunno. Could it be because you got an old engine that's made to run at 30, and it's been throttled beyond what it can actually do. Also, animations were made for 30FPS, not 60.

14:08 <ConfusionRift> I clicked off so fast. This guy made just the most dumbest comment, and just couldn't watch anymore. In any case, it was mostly a showcase for a SM64 mod that replaces textures for higher quality ones, and super throttles the game to run at 60. Was curious about it, but these guys just kept giving me headaches. They don't know what they're talking about.

14:13 <Cepheid> Yep.

14:14 * Cepheid traverses the final area, just in case there was like, a tablet he missed or something.

14:14 <Cepheid> Only other thing I can think of is to kill all the minibosses again.

14:17 <Cepheid> This was a mistake.

14:27 <Cepheid> .... The hell?

14:27 <Cepheid> I could hurt it that time.

14:29 <Cepheid> ... Oh.

14:30 <Cepheid> ... This particular phase doesn't surprise me.

14:40 <Cepheid> For what it's worth, Naramura didn't pull one last hurrah **** move with the final area.  No fairy stone blocking the way.

14:46 <Cepheid> Right.  I need to lay down.

15:01 * ConfusionRift should rest up too.

15:01 <ConfusionRift> Can't. Waiting on someone.

15:06 <Finwe> Are you working in a restaurant?

15:09 * Finwe waiter aprons on ConfusionRift.

15:09 <ConfusionRift> Was watching over someone. Just waiting on my uncle to get here so I can finally crash.

15:12 <Finwe> Oh.

15:12 <Finwe> I'm rather sure that in Britain the only way to wait on someone is in a restaurant.

15:13 <Finwe> But this is obviously not the case in 'Murrica.

15:13 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

15:16 <Finwe> "American dialectologists have evidence showing wait on (sense 3) to be more a Southern than a Northern form in speech. Handbook writers universally denigrate wait on and prescribe wait for in writing."

15:16 <Finwe> (Merriam-Webster)

15:17 * Finwe denigrates ConfusionRift.

15:21 * ConfusionRift shrugs again. No biggie.

15:29 * PrincessRainbows licks ConfusionRift and chews on Finwe's hooves again

15:31 * uni flops on Finwe

15:31 <ConfusionRift> Yay, they're here. (flops) Sleeeeeeeep.

15:31 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-pl1.irn.56.193.IP) (Quit: Recharging the batteries. Laters! *shutdown*)

15:49 <Cepheid> It is a dialect thing in North America.  To wait on someone, in casual conversational terms, means to wait for someone to show up.

16:04 <Nedemai> Yea, but it means something entirely different if you are waiting on people in a restaurant for example lol

16:04 <Nedemai> and both contexts are used often in North America

16:04 <Nedemai> entire country cant decide how to english

16:08 <Cepheid> Hence mentioning casual conversation.

16:09 <Cepheid> Outside of a restaurant, it tends to take on the above meaning.
