00:39 <ADragonDreaming> Stardew Valley (and Harvest Moon) have that constantly ticking time.
00:39 <Schism> When we return again, be sure to check The Queen of Sauce for Stir Fry.
00:40 <ADragonDreaming> The time limit is what does it. Gotta pack as much in in as short a thing as possible when there's a time limit.
00:40 * PrincessRainbows pokes Ali a bit for no reason and flops
00:40 <ADragonDreaming> It's not rational, it's just a thing that happens.
00:40 <ADragonDreaming> Like, I couldn't play Fallout 1.
00:40 <ADragonDreaming> because TIME LIMIT.
00:41 <PrincessRainbows> I love how the streets are mostly empty. like, you can go outside...
00:41 <Ali> I'm not too bothered by the time limit to be honest, but others are
00:41 <Schism> Even if it's not a time limit, the clock is ticking, Twilight, clock... is... TICKING...
00:41 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, I can only take so much of it, basically.
00:41 <PrincessRainbows> just not near others
00:41 <ADragonDreaming> I got as far as I did in my solo because mods.
00:41 <ADragonDreaming> there's a mod that lets you pause time and move around.
00:41 <Schism> There really is no time limit, but it -feels- like there is.
00:42 <ADragonDreaming> well and there's constantly that threat of "oh no I'm gonna get caught out at 2 am"
00:42 <Schism> Yah, tho that is comparatively minor.
00:42 <Schism> Sets back your work, etc.
00:43 <ADragonDreaming> anyway, without pause it seems I can only handle so much at a time.

06:15 <Finwe> Good morning, my little pastel-coloured ungulates with an odd number of toes per hoof.
06:15 * Ali blehs all over Finwe
06:16 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, DashedRainbows, Surreal_Nightmares; Messrs Cepheid, Golden, Lumindia, PinkieShy and Schism.
06:16 * Finwe doffs his hat.
06:16 <Ali> Everything has shut down
06:16 <Ali> Malls, eateries, you name it
06:17 <Ali> I have no staff, nowhere to go, and can't even vollunter at the place I signed up for
06:17 <Ali> This self imposed isolation and with the pony community basically gone, is going to crush me.
06:17 * Ali leans into the Finwe heavily.
06:17 <Finwe> If you have a staff, I will give it to you. If you have no staff, I will take it away from you.
06:18 * Finwe tightly patpathugs the Ali.
06:18 <Finwe> It's going to be alright.
06:18 <Golden> I hath beaten DQ1

06:20 <Ali> Finwe, staff in my meaning is a person who comes in and checks on me and helps me with stupid simple things that I find hard to deal with.
06:20 <Ali> Without one, well, things go south.
06:22 <Finwe> I think that the staff in Basho's Staff was either a physical staff or some weird Zen thing.
06:22 <Finwe> https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Gateless_Gate/Basho%27s_Staff
06:22 <Finwe> 'Basho said to his disciple: "When you have a staff, I will give it to you. If you have no staff, I will take it away from you." '
06:25 <Finwe> And also, "The staff supports the heavens and makes firm the earth."
06:27 <Finwe> My university will open next time on Monday 13th of April. Meanwhile, I have to stay home, unless I have some compelling reason, which I don't have, because mathematicians do not have research equipment to attend to.
06:30 * Ali flops into Finwe and hugs more.
06:32 <Finwe> The health centre is open, so I should get the BCC sensors and capillary needles I need.
06:33 <Finwe> But all gatherings of more than ten people are banned, and all libraries, museums and sports facilities are closed.

06:45 <Ali> ConfusionRift, some cities here enacted basically a Lvl 3 Snow Emergency
06:46 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, I don't think that's happening here. They don't care. Then again, people here don't care anyways. (flops)
06:47 <Ali> That means non essential travel is banned
06:48 <ConfusionRift> Again, roads here are still very much active.
06:49 <Ali> I don't know anything since Friday
06:50 * ConfusionRift flops.
06:50 <Ali> My Friday event has now been canned, Thursday's thing it gone
06:50 <Ali> Monday's is pretty well destoryed since there'd be nowhere to go
06:50 <Ali> This is basically the opposite of what my plan for living is

06:51 <ConfusionRift> All I know is that ALL events in confined areas or establishments are postponed or canceled.

06:51 <Ali> Just a lockdown is the last thing I needed.
06:52 <ConfusionRift> Well... there's a reason why we ran out of ethernet cables.
06:52 <Ali> And with 95% of the people I used ot stay in contact on here are gone.
06:52 <Ali> I'm down to maybe 10 or so people and I'm probably getting on their nerves already.

07:00 * Ali flops over, could use something to do but based on how Factorio went last night, thinks its best not to make ConfusionRift play that again.
07:01 <ConfusionRift> I wouldn't mind jumping in. I'm off and have nothing to do.
07:01 <Ali> Just I don't want you to feel like your just treading water or something
07:02 <ConfusionRift> It's cooh. :P
07:02 <Ali> Cause it seemed like you were really out of it.
07:02 <Ali> ALso game is now .13 so you'll have to update if its not automatic
07:03 <ConfusionRift> I just... didn't know what to do. And was kinda doing very little. You already had things under control. I was still planning things.
07:05 <Ali> There's still a lot to do that's for sure
07:05 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
07:06 <Ali> I'm in game if you want to kill time

11:55 * Cepheid does more stuff to try and beat this cough.
11:56 * Cepheid loads up Grim Dawn. Notices some stuff in his inventory, in particular a pair of pants. They are an actual upgrade, for a change.
11:57 <Cepheid> Biggest gamechanger is the +20% to ALL ELEMENTAL RESISTANCES.
11:58 <ConfusionRift> The Pants of Glory!
12:00 <Cepheid> Hum, how does armor rating work, anyways? Never really fully understood it, as armor effectiveness is actually split between 3 things.
12:00 <Cepheid> Chance to hit that area, armor rating, and damage absorption.
12:02 <Cepheid> I see.
12:03 <Cepheid> First step is a subtraction. Damage - Armor Rating. So if you have 50 armor, take 100 damage, the base damage is 50. The rest is affected by armor absorption. If you have armor absorption of 70%, you'll take 30% of the remainder.
12:03 <Cepheid> So 30% of 50 is 15, so you take 65 damage.
12:04 <Cepheid> That said, having greater armor rating than the incoming damage doesn't mean 0 damage.
12:04 <Cepheid> It just means that the base damage is 0.

12:05 <Cepheid> And that the amount of absorption damage is based on the total amount.
12:05 <Cepheid> Thus, at 70% absorption, I take 30 damage.
12:06 <Cepheid> Effectively, this means that higher armor rating and absorption combined are most effective.
12:08 <Cepheid> Hum, I wonder if I can stack Empowered Impaling Weapons.

12:14 <Cepheid> In Etrian Odyssey 5, there's a class that can quadruple-wield.
12:14 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe. :P
12:14 <ConfusionRift> Either four arms, or a weapons master.
12:15 <Cepheid> Katanas, one for each hand, then two strapped to the legs.
12:15 <Cepheid> The class is called Blade Dancer.
12:15 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh.
12:16 <Cepheid> Catch is, for each Katana equipped, that's one less piece of armor you can wear.
12:16 <Cepheid> So it's a tradeoff. Deal insane damage, take insane damage.
12:17 * Cepheid checks to see if the Reaper's Touch has leveled variants.
12:17 <Cepheid> Appears it does. But it requires level 75, and a blueprint.
12:18 <Cepheid> https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/1875 I'm level 32, and I'm still using this thing.
12:19 <Cepheid> The reason it remains viable is that 33% weapon damage effect on it's on-attack proc.
12:20 <Cepheid> That damage goes up as my stats increase, because main hand damage is a combination of stats, level, and weapon.
12:20 <Cepheid> Right now, even though the weapon by itself does 38-58 damage, the main hand damage is high enough that 33% translates to 181-204.
12:20 <Cepheid> And it's an area of effect proc. And the 25% attack damage converted to health means I receive a *LOT* of health.
12:24 <Cepheid> My character is covered in so many different on-* procs it's ridiculous. And the health regen and health drain effects are maddening.
12:24 <Cepheid> I sometimes see my character drop 1000 health, only for it to jump back up to full health half a second later.
12:29 <Cepheid> The RNG is gracing me with nice weapon drops.
12:29 <Cepheid> I'm scared, ConfusionRift.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;
12:30 <Cepheid> I also got a nice boot drop.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> Take what you can, and say "Thank you, RNGesus".
12:30 <ConfusionRift> :P
12:32 <Cepheid> Devs added a bunch of new loot pinata stuff.
12:33 <Cepheid> In particular, these things called Totems. Added in 1.1.6, they spawn a bunch of monsters, but when you kill them all, the totem drops something like 10-15 Rare items, and at least 1 Epic item.
12:34 <Cepheid> And they're friggen everywhere.
12:34 <Cepheid> I imagine once I hit level 50, they'll start dropping legendary items.
12:35 <Cepheid> For reasons unknown, the devs level-gated legendary items. You won't see them until level 50 at a minimum, so..
12:35 * Cepheid has 18 more levels until that point.
12:40 <Cepheid> Mmm, dynamite chest.
12:43 <Cepheid> Boss arena time!
12:43 <Cepheid> I am not impressed.
12:44 <Cepheid> I tanked the damage. All of it. Even the draining effect that does percentage drains of 20-30% of your health every time it ticks.
12:44 * ConfusionRift watches this runner play Super Hydlide. "Urgh... my anxiety..."
12:44 <ConfusionRift> I'm starting to feel this game is gonna be like Diablo.
12:45 <ConfusionRift> Kind of a pain at the start, and then you start destroying EVERYTHING towards the middle point.
12:45 <Cepheid> Which game? Super Hydlide or the game I'm playing?
12:46 <ConfusionRift> The game you're playing.
12:46 <ConfusionRift> Super Hydlide is an absolute mess.
12:46 <ConfusionRift> I mean, such a great game.
12:46 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:47 <Cepheid> This game... Mmm....
12:47 <Cepheid> To be honest, it's a mixed bag in terms of difficulty.
12:47 <Cepheid> It depends on playstyle, and how you work. Right now?
12:47 <Cepheid> If I were to be hit by mostly... hmm..
12:47 <Cepheid> Aether, Bleeding or Chaos attacks, I'd die.
12:48 <Cepheid> Those resistances are my lowest, and when you're in areas where such attacks are common, they are *REALLY* common.
12:48 <Cepheid> They also do nothing against certain attacks of those elements, because the devs decided that it'd be better to have straight damage that ignores resistances.
12:49 <Cepheid> I asked them why they did it one time, the lore explanation is that the relevant attacks and fields are beyond the abilities of resistances from equipment.
12:50 <Cepheid> That last boss I killed was mostly elemental damage. I have 80% resist in all 3 elemental resistances. Maximum I can get, right now. I also have insane health regen because I'm stacking health regen and health drain out the wazoo.
12:50 <Cepheid> If I were to take enough hits from an element I'm weak to in a sort amount of time, it'd murder me. Also, see attacks strong enough to kill me in one hit, or two hits.
12:52 <Cepheid> There's also these. Challenge bosses. Here, lemme get a quick video to show.
12:56 * Cepheid waits for Youtube to finish it's work.
12:59 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZMf0_teWDE&feature=youtu.be ConfusionRift.
12:59 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
12:59 <Cepheid> This is a challenge boss monster you can find relatively early-on. He's in a hidden cave that changes it's spawn location each run. I'm playing on Veteran Difficulty(Starter "higher" difficulty) which causes monsters to be a bit stronger than normal.
13:00 <Cepheid> As you can see, his level is 39. I'm level 33.
13:01 <ConfusionRift> Yeah... that thing...
13:01 <Cepheid> I can kill him, but it takes effort, dodging and practice.
13:01 <Cepheid> There are a number of bosses like that throughout the game. They drop incredible rewards, for fighting them. But many of them are insanely difficult.
13:02 <Cepheid> And there is one boss that is actually described as the Avatar of a God.
13:02 <ConfusionRift> "Okay, getting this under control. I got this. I go-" (bap, dead) "...nope."
13:02 <Cepheid> You can antagonize him by asking him probing questions like why he let the Grim Dawn happen, where he's been, and so on.
13:02 <Cepheid> And if you push him hard enough, he'll attack you.
13:02 <Cepheid> Most encounters go about as well as you'd expect.
13:03 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Grim Dawn, Gutworm overwhelming me.
13:04 <Cepheid> Turns out, fighting a god is a bad idea.
13:04 <Cepheid> You can kill him, though.
13:07 <Cepheid> I wonder if I'll ever be able to punch one of the Witch Gods in the face.
13:07 <Cepheid> They're referenced everywhere, you run into their cultists everywhere.
13:07 <Cepheid> But you never actually "deal" with them except in rare situations where you receive a boon from them.
13:30 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:30 <Cepheid> My sister's job is currently shut down due to the virus, and because she lives in a remote area..
13:30 <Cepheid> She ordered a bunch of candy to be sent up to her.
13:30 <Cepheid> Her plan is smoking pot, eating candy, and watching movies.
13:31 <ConfusionRift> Basically what everyone who's not working is doing. (shrugs)
13:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, well, in her case it's even more of a "What else can I do?" situation.
13:34 <Cepheid> She's in a remote region.
13:34 <Cepheid> There's nothing up there to do. Even if she could go out.
13:34 <ConfusionRift> Oh.
13:37 <Cepheid> There "clinic" is just a pharmacy with a pharmacist that does double duty as a dispenser and a doctor.
13:39 <Cepheid> Man, DC is really starting to lose it in his latest randomizer run.
13:40 <ConfusionRift> Oh nooes.
13:42 <Cepheid> He's doing a randomizer run that randomizes connections between fields.
13:42 <Cepheid> So on top of all the items being randomized, the various connections are randomized too, which makes navigation tricky.
13:43 * ConfusionRift checks. "Ooooh. That suuuucks."
13:43 <ConfusionRift> He got failsafe'd out, and then got booted to the mausoleum on load. With garbage apps, and the keyblade.
13:46 <ConfusionRift> Randomized connections is always a pain.
13:48 <ConfusionRift> Usual or possible strategies are out the window, unless you map the whole place.
13:49 <ConfusionRift> Guh, and there are separate sections, which are also broken up. Pffftttt.
13:49 <ConfusionRift> I see music is also random.
13:51 <Lumindia> h e c k
13:59 <ConfusionRift> Oh... he got it good... but ain't gonna last long, for sure.
13:59 * ConfusionRift gasps at Lumindia.
14:05 <Cepheid> He's doing surprisingly well.
14:06 <Cepheid> But he's starting to get a little confused.
14:07 <ConfusionRift> The problem with a good start is that you're getting these early, making the later points drag as the item pool gets smaller. And he'll eventually have to deal with the trap. :P

14:18 <ConfusionRift> The heck is this music?
14:19 * ConfusionRift hears the Flintstones riff. "Aaah, a good ol' japes song."
14:23 * ConfusionRift watches him get ejected into the corridor. "Hah!"
14:25 <ConfusionRift> Of course, the flail whip. Just sitting there... in a box... with nothing to worry about.
14:27 <ConfusionRift> Interesting. The rising dragon from the corridor is inactive the whole time. So it just waits for the key trigger for it to show on screen, but it's always rendered.

16:51 <Cepheid> Ancient Savage Totem. It glows yellow instead of the usual green.
16:59 <Cepheid> I like how that character is implied to be something more than he is. It's just never really explained how and why. And it's shown time and time again.

17:23 *** Joins: Pony|61909 (Pony61909@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net)
17:33 <Cepheid> Basically, the short version is that the character tries to pass himself off as just a normal individual. However, people around him regularly comment about things, like how his combat skills are far beyond any man or woman of his age, and that he tells stories about the far past in ways that imply he was an eyewitness to events in said stories.
17:34 <Cepheid> Numerous other characters also make comments about him being "legendary" among other things, including considering it a great tragedy were he to be lost, even though the people saying such things would NORMALLY BE TARGETS FOR HIM TO KILL.

17:52 <Cepheid> I hit enemies with two stacks of piercing damage, a chance to drain their life, a second chance to drain their life, more lightning, a third chance to drain life, a 1-in-3 chance of a severe concussion, and gobs of various elemental damage.

Few hours later, asthma meds, more cough syrup. Few hours later, repeat. Then lay down, still wheezing, still coughing up unspeakable things, still wanting to jam a knife into my chest to scratch at my trachea. Drug myself to extreme levels to
21:15 <Cepheid> Gods damn it. Just friggen develop into bronchitis, pneumonia, COVID-19, influenza or whatever it is already, knock me out for a week, then let me bloody [REDACTED] recover already so I can work again, breathe, sleep, and play games with friends. I'm intentionally avoiding the last one because I'm in such a foul blasted mood now because of exhaustion that I just want to be left alone to my own devices.
21:17 <Cepheid> I must want to either vent in the most isolated manner right now, which is through games by myself, or lay down in bed because I develop a temporary fever which leaves my head boiling, sweating, and itchy all over.
