03:42 * Ali also flops over. "I lost my staff today.."
03:43 * PrincessRainbows sads on Ali
03:43 <Cepheid> Not all cough syrups are the same. The ingredients in them target different causes of coughs, so..
03:45 <Cepheid> That said... I looked at the active ingredients between the old and new cough syrups.
03:45 <Cepheid> They're the same ingredients. Just different amounts.
03:47 <Cepheid> Same expectorant. New stuff is just twice the dose. Menthol, 10mg vs 15mg for the old.
03:47 <Ali> Strange how such a small amount can have such a different impact

04:12 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Feed the Kitty (Chuck Jones, 1952)
04:12 <Ali> That is a smol kitteh Cepheid
04:32 <Cepheid> I keep thinking Inti has given up on Dragon Marked For Death. Then it announces a version 3.0 which adds two new characters to play as.
04:35 <Cepheid> Each with four sets of voiceovers to boot.
04:37 * PrincessRainbows flops on Ali and tears up
04:38 <Cepheid> Schism, ADragonDreaming, one of these days, we must find a way to play Barotrauma. Or Space Station 13.
04:42 <Ali> God this CORVID shit
04:43 <Ali> People are buying out toilet paper and all the schools are shutting down
04:43 <Ali> So what do all the parents do with kids they can't leave at home for work do?
04:43 <Ali> Shutting down everything isn't gonna fix anything
04:44 <Ali> There's always gonna be some idiot bypassing all the security and do what they want cause they want to and spread it regardless of how many events get shut down.
04:48 <Cepheid> There was a story on the news about a guy who tested positive, who proceeded to get on a plane, fly all the way to some place, then basically gloated, at the destination about how he tested positive and got on the flight.
04:48 <Ali> Cepheid, the fight from New York to Florida
04:48 <Ali> I mean its so easy to bypass security that its not even funny
04:48 <Ali> And that guy did it as a sick joke
04:48 <Ali> It just proves my point to be honest.
04:50 <Cepheid> More or less. Short of turning our world into The Last of Us, there isn't anything we can really do.
04:51 <Cepheid> It is doing one thing of note, though. It's proving that telecommuting is a viable alternative to office buildings.
04:52 <Ali> Yeah but its also proving how easily spooked people are nowadays
04:54 <Ali> I swear if it comes down to I sneeze in public cause I got a itch that made me do so, and some idiot claims I have CORVID, I'd love to punch them in the face.
04:56 <Cepheid> Media is fueling the paranoia. That said it is a bit fair to be paranoid about something that has no vaccine, no cure, no treatment other than bed rest and fluids and hope for the best. The whole lack of a vaccine means it is quite easy for this to turn into a considerable problem.
04:56 <Cepheid> One infected person can contaminate/infect a number of people. Each of which will then contaminate/infect a number of people. It is exponential.
04:57 <Cepheid> The more people that get sick and ignore quarantining(or aren't aware they have it), the worse it gets. 1000 people one week can become 10000 the next due to the growth.
04:58 <Cepheid> The death rate, while still not very high, is definitely higher than the flu.
04:59 <Cepheid> The biggest impact will be to social norms, social behavior, the market, and how business in general is conducted.

05:00 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
05:01 * Ali snugs into ConfusionRift
05:02 <Cepheid> Hey Rifty.
05:02 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.
05:02 <ConfusionRift> Hey there.
05:03 <Cepheid> ...
05:03 <Cepheid> So, I drank a lot of fluids recently.
05:03 <Cepheid> I'm in a rocking chair.
05:03 <Cepheid> I can hear the fluid sloshing around in my stomach.
05:04 <Ali> Slosh slosh slosh
05:04 <ConfusionRift> Maybe you drank a bit too much. :P
05:04 <Cepheid> Just a tad, yeah.
05:04 * Ali also rolls around, not sure whats to play, she tried Skylines but it suffered stuttersteppin.
05:04 <ConfusionRift> That could also happen if you drink too many fluids with more of an empty stomach.
05:05 <ConfusionRift> As long as you don't start getting hydro-intoxicated, all should be fine... might end up doing number one for a while.
05:06 * ConfusionRift rolls with Ali. Is on the same thing.
05:07 <Cepheid> Honestly that is actually a legitimate concern with me. If you've ever seen me drink water at times..
05:07 <ConfusionRift> Oh, the Bioshock Collection + all DLCs is on special on Steam. I think it's $12 for the thing.
05:07 <Cepheid> I have this weird issue wherein I just spontaneously and inexplicably feel extremely thirsty.
05:07 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.
05:08 <Cepheid> So what I end up doing is literally turning the tap onto full, and instead of using a glass like a civilized being, I use my hands to create a cup, and drink directly from that until my body tells me "Enough is enough."
05:08 <Cepheid> I literally drink a litre or more in a minute.
05:08 <Cepheid> This is one other reason I am constantly washing my hands.
05:08 <ConfusionRift> Be careful with that. Hydro-intoxication is a thing.
05:08 <Cepheid> So if you ever see me doing that in person, it is ENTIRELY normal. Unless it's in public, in which case hit me and tell me to use a glass.
05:09 <Cepheid> But yeah, it's a legitimate concern with me.
05:09 <Cepheid> It actually got worse after my episode with dehydration.
05:10 <ConfusionRift> Well, you are sick. And the problem is within the respiratory system. That tends to require more fluids than normal. Still, careful.
05:11 <Cepheid> Oh, this is a thing I've been doing for years and years.
05:11 <ConfusionRift> Ooh.
05:12 <Cepheid> Honestly, given the condition of our dishes, it's probably safer for me to drink water that way.
05:14 <Cepheid> Though, as of late I've been trying to do it less and less. I got a number of water bottles I keep filled around the house. Something like out of that movie Signs, only instead of getting water everywhere, the bottles are sealed.
05:16 * Ali rolls around as she'd love to Factorio but her mind is busted.
05:21 <Cepheid> On one hand, only being able to handle 100 entities in ~1/60th of a second for my game is a bit low, on the other hand, it only applies to entity-world.
05:27 * Ali wuts
05:28 <Cepheid> Gamedev stuff.
05:28 <Cepheid> Collision detection is actually a large chunk of the time taken in rendering a single game update/frame.
05:30 <Cepheid> By the way, I figured out what the game was I was talking about yesterday, or at least the series.
05:30 <Cepheid> Gradius.
05:31 <Ali> Life Force?
05:33 <Cepheid> Nah, I was recalling a stream I watched of one of the Gradius games, wherein the player encounters his future self and takes out a battleship with their help, but it isn't revealed that it is their future self until you hit the end of the game, and do time travel. I was commenting on how well it was implemented.
05:34 <Ali> Oh, I know there was a game on the NES
05:34 <Ali> That was like Life Force but when under a different name
05:35 <ConfusionRift> Gradius. Hmmm. I wonder which. Probably the fifth.
05:36 <ConfusionRift> Actually, Life Force is part of the Gradius series.
05:36 <Ali> Yeah but it was only called Life Force once if I recall correctly
05:37 <Cepheid> I think it was Gradius V, yeah.
05:37 <Cepheid> Yeah, it was.
05:37 <ConfusionRift> Wait... it's a spin-off of the Gradius series. Yeah, we got Life Force, while it was originally in Japan under Salamander.
05:37 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/CHqgmNJAPYw?t=316
05:37 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
05:37 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Gradius V (PS2) Full Run with No Deaths (No Miss)
05:38 <Cepheid> It's that point right there.
05:38 <Ali> Five Options? That's a bit overkill
05:39 <Ali> The NES one never let you have more than two, and they were so easy to lose.
05:39 <ConfusionRift> I do have this game, but never finished it. Gradius can a bit unforgiving on later stages.
05:39 * ConfusionRift sighs at the vent auto scrolling stages.
05:40 <Cepheid> Basically, as stated yesterday, the game records your inputs for later on, playing them back when you see your past self.
05:40 <Cepheid> That said, there's a way for them to use player controls for the initial encounter, as well.
05:41 <Cepheid> Save a recording to the save file, and the next time you play the game, that saved recording is used.
05:42 <Cepheid> The only time this doesn't work would be at the beginning, when there's no save file.
05:43 <Cepheid> The game would have to use a pre-recorded set of inputs from one of the developers.
05:44 <Cepheid> Ah, that's how they handled the recording bit for the cores.
05:45 <Cepheid> They have the future self go "you go on ahead, I'll take it from here."
05:45 <Ali> I own Life Force for the NES. Its a pain to do and with the three life system makes it worse
05:45 <Ali> Though the Konami Code existed in that game, so it gave you 30 lives instead of 3
05:46 <ConfusionRift> I think the other Gradius games have it as well.
05:46 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure a lot more games are gonna have it in the future now, too.
05:46 <Cepheid> Now that the individual behind the Konami Code has passed away.
05:46 * Ali flops over ConfusionRift. "I lost my staffs to not showing up anymores."
05:46 <Cepheid> *Destroys both eyes.* *The brain explodes FOR NO FRIGGEN REASON.*
05:47 <Cepheid> Gotta love them load-bearing objects.
05:47 * Ali blinks. "Another windows update? What they screw up this time?"
05:48 <Cepheid> Probably in response to that new Intel bug.
05:48 <Cepheid> ... Ye know, it would behoove me to test performance of stuff UNDER A RELEASE BUILD.
05:48 <Cepheid> Every "dotnet run" or "dotnet build" defaults to a debug build, which is, by default, going to be slow.
05:49 <ConfusionRift> "Bug". When something is fundamentally screwed, it stops being a bug and more of a screw up.
05:50 <Cepheid> Debug builds basically produce IR or assembly that does exactly what the code says.
05:51 <Cepheid> Release builds, meanwhile, apply what are known as "transformations" to the code, resulting in code that has the same effect, but is much better performing.
05:51 <Cepheid> It's not perfect, but it does work.
05:54 <ConfusionRift> Also, was reminded of something. Some older games had this "demo", which showed some prerecorded action on the first stage of the game, or a random stage. With Sonic 1, we get a few seconds of the game showcasing the first three stages. You can actually overwrite those recordings and make your own using a specific button combo.
05:54 <Cepheid> Yep.
05:54 <Cepheid> In fact, in one game I can think of, there's a bug in that the game is missing a recording file, and crashes the game when the game tries to play it. DOOM.
05:59 <Cepheid> Difference between release and debug builds of my current collision system is...
05:59 <Cepheid> For debug, 100 entities takes about 60% of the frametime on average.
05:59 <Cepheid> For release, 100 entities takes about 40% of the frametime on average.
06:00 <ConfusionRift> OOOH. So that's the final stage! That is clever!
06:01 <Cepheid> Yep. Last stage is the second stage of the game, but the opposite path.
06:03 * Cepheid adds a debug renderer.
06:03 <ConfusionRift> I hate how this game likes tight spaces.
06:04 <Cepheid> Admittedly it is a problem with the speed the Vic Viper can obtain.
06:05 * ConfusionRift nods.
06:05 <Cepheid> That's one area where Thunder Force excelled. You could choose your speed.
06:05 <Cepheid> Basic setup is in increments of 25%, but if I recall correctly, holding the button would follow with incrementing it by a smaller percentage until you let go.
06:09 <Cepheid> Hum.
06:09 * Cepheid tries to figure out the best way to determine the number of triangles that would be needed to draw a polygonal circle with an average coverage of at least 95% of an actual circle.
06:10 <ConfusionRift> "I am just a small part of what was known as Venom. Pieces of me are scattered throughout the cosmos. Eventually, another will become sentient and exact retribution."
06:10 <ConfusionRift> That...
06:10 <Cepheid> And then it explodes for no reason.
06:12 *** Quits: Pony|90912 (Pony90912@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
06:13 <ConfusionRift> That's what usually happens in Gradius. They are defeated or harmed, and they just... die. Thing is, with that statement in mind, it basically tells you that it was pointless. It was just one of many, and it knows another will take its place. No point fighting.
06:13 * Cepheid just decides to bruteforce the solution.
06:13 <Cepheid> There's always a point in fighting. If you stop fighting, you lose.
06:13 <Cepheid> The fight may be endless, but it is better than being destroyed.
06:13 <ConfusionRift> That's why the series continues.
06:14 <Cepheid> Yep.
06:14 <ConfusionRift> Except for... this one. This pilot is stuck on a loop.
06:14 <Cepheid> Are they?
06:15 <Cepheid> The lower Vic Viper is the one that goes on to ensure that the loop is continued.
06:15 <Cepheid> Which turns into the Vic Viper that later can go on to a different area.
06:16 <Cepheid> It's clear that the presence of the two of them causes no real problems.
06:17 <Cepheid> The two don't interact after the defeat of the ship. And once the original Vic Viper goes into the past, everything effectively "returns to normal" more or less.
06:17 <Cepheid> If anything, going into the past is basically resolves the paradox.
06:18 <Cepheid> The biggest threat really is the fact that the enemy is smart enough that the only way to defeat it was through time-travelling.
06:18 <Cepheid> Had the Vic Viper not traveled into the past, things would probably have been worse.
06:22 <ConfusionRift> The thing is that ends on a paradox. It's present that both current and future self are require for the operation. Thing is, the past self is the on who flies off intact. It's suggested that his future self is dying on that ship after destroy the boss.
06:22 <Cepheid> That too would actually end the paradox.
06:22 <Cepheid> Just because the future self dies, doesn't mean that the present self dies.
06:23 <Cepheid> As far as the present self is aware, it survives the encounter. It won't realize the truth until it goes back in time.
06:23 <ConfusionRift> Exactly.
06:23 <Cepheid> A paradox would be the present self changing course based on knowledge it has about the event.
06:24 <Cepheid> Because if the present self changes it's actions, then the future self would never have encountered the ship and did the time travel.
06:24 <ConfusionRift> I was referring to a perpetual loop.
06:24 <Cepheid> There is no indication of any sort that the present self is aware of what happens to the future self, aside from the fact that AT SOME POINT it goes into the past.
06:25 <Cepheid> There isn't any, though. At least, not from the perspective of those not involved.
06:25 <Cepheid> Only to the Vic Viper's pilot is there an apparent loop.
06:26 <ConfusionRift> That was what I was talking about.
06:26 <Cepheid> Ah, fair enough.
06:27 <Cepheid> So more a personal apparent time loop, rather than an actual, observable one that affects existence as a whole.
06:27 <ConfusionRift> This specific pilot is stuck on a loop. Which means HE can't continue the fight. Someone else has to.
06:27 <Cepheid> True.
06:27 <Cepheid> But is it ever implied that it's the same Vic Viper in all the games?
06:27 <Cepheid> I've not followed the Gradius story.
06:28 <ConfusionRift> Don't think so. I'm sure each launch is a different pilot.
06:28 <Cepheid> Probably.
06:28 <ConfusionRift> Oh... this was the last game.
06:28 <Cepheid> I mean, even Thunder Force, it's a different pilot and ship each game.
06:29 <Cepheid> And yeah, it was the last game in the series.
06:29 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;
06:29 <Cepheid> Arguably, it's left open, so if the developers or someone who buys the rights ever wants to make a new game, they can.
06:29 <Cepheid> I'll be honest.
06:30 <ConfusionRift> "Gradius VI was originally announced in the 2005 Tokyo Game Show, this was one of the developing titles for the PlayStation 3, scheduled for the 2006 release. However, due to unknown reasons, the development was delayed and, eventually, completely scrapped."
06:30 <Cepheid> There are times where I think of a game I want to make. It's designed in such a way that, the story is structurally coherent, plotholes are minimized, but it is completely ****ed up.
06:30 <Cepheid> So much so, that the players have trouble piecing it together. I want to see the resultant discussions.
06:31 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.
06:32 <Cepheid> Probably just infuriate them, mostly.
06:34 <Cepheid> "Parenthesis can be removed" *Looks at the code. Knows about order of operations, but knows how easy it can be to forget them.* "I'm going to ignore that."
06:37 <ConfusionRift> Thing is, those are sometimes left open to interpretation. So you got a few who leave it to whatever that person thinks may be what ties everything together. Of course, you also get those who think of it a certain way and that's that. And then creators get these floods of questions to verify lore and the such, which sometimes end up with a lore switch. Now everything is a little convoluted. :P
06:38 * ConfusionRift opens RPG Maker... then closes it. "We... we got a game to finish."
06:38 <Cepheid> You really want to finish LM2 because of me now, don't you?
06:39 <ConfusionRift> Nah. I just keep getting games and don't finish them. I should stop doing that and start clearing them off. Also, I feel I'm close to the end.
06:41 <ConfusionRift> There are still a lot of things I have to check and modify on the RPG project. Some may take a while, especially since they require more creativity I'm running low of. Like, unique music and SFX, instead of using the stock stuff.
06:43 <ConfusionRift> I can convert .mp3 and .mid to .ogg very easily, but... I dunno.
06:47 <Cepheid> me just realizes that, once he finds how many points he needs for a coverage of 95% of the circle, he can just hard-code the number of points, since scaling it up and down will still result in 95% or more.
06:48 <Cepheid> It's only ever gonna change if I go with pixel coverage.
06:48 <Cepheid> But it seems that the magic value is... 10.
06:49 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)
06:49 <Cepheid> 24 if I want 99%. So I'll just use 24, then. o3o
06:49 <Cepheid> And it's 24 triangles, not points. Oops.
06:51 <Cepheid> ... Truth told, I can just define a constant array for 25 points on a unit circle, then do some scaling and vector math.
06:53 <Cepheid> This is all just for debug stuff anyways, so..
07:26 <Cepheid> Thar we go. Lines, triangles, rectangles, circles. Filled triangles, filled rectangles, filled circles. Just need N-gons, which are a bit tricky because I may need to decimate them first. o3o

09:33 <Cepheid> Yep, this shouldn't be happening. I don't know why it is. o3o
09:34 <ConfusionRift> Sounds like programming to me. :P
09:39 <Cepheid> ... Oh, oops.
09:40 <Cepheid> ... Okay, seriously, what the hell is going on here?

10:04 <Lumindia> Until there's some story about a shitton of people all simultaneously dropping dead from this stupid thing, it may as well just be a bad cold or the flu. People are freaking the hell out way too much over this, and that's making things so much worse
10:05 * ConfusionRift nods.
10:05 * Ali agrees
10:05 <Ali> We've shut down every major thing over this dumb thing

10:17 <Cepheid> Yeah, it was something minor in my case.
10:17 <Cepheid> I was assigning the tested position point the values (x1, y1). PRoblem is, just prior to this, I may have swapped x1 with x2, and y1 with y2.
10:17 <Cepheid> That swap was what was causing the issue.

10:19 <Finwe> Lumindia: For your information, you do not need to wake up every single time somepony mentions you in IRC.
10:20 <Cepheid> The problem is they probably have an audible ping set up.
10:21 <Finwe> And waking up is the price for not disabling it when trying to sleep.
10:25 <Cepheid> Right, time for some relaxing in the form of A SHOWER!
10:26 <Finwe> :0

11:24 <Lumindia> so Ceph, any idea why one boss in a raid tier might hit significantly harder than the other three?
11:24 <Lumindia> in the current raid tier, the first boss, Ramuh, autoattacks tanks for about 24k
11:24 <Lumindia> while the others only hit for like, 17k
11:25 <Cepheid> There it is.
11:25 <Cepheid> Heck if I know.
11:25 <Schism> Fewer mechanics on Mr. Beardy?

11:26 <Cepheid> Huzzah, fixed it.
11:26 <Cepheid> Was actually the same problem.
