00:56 <ADragonDreaming> turns out today was a visit day.

00:56 <ADragonDreaming> So I've been unavailable until, well, just about now.

00:57 <Schism> And now, I fear, I need to sleep -- I've another day of WFM tomorrow, starting at 8 AM.

00:57 <Ali> Its understandable, not every day can be free

01:12 <PrincessRainbows> It's not anything specific now but I have felt increasingly depressed but that's honestly not surprising

01:14 * ThatAnonPony snugs PrincessRainbows?

01:15 * PrincessRainbows hugs back

12:38 <Cepheid> "It's just a cold." - My mother, regarding sore throat, runny/stuffed nose, and a fever.

12:38 <Cepheid> =.=;

12:39 <Cepheid> I keep telling her why I want her to get a self-assessment and call the hospital, and only through harassment am I getting action out of her.

12:39 <Cepheid> I'm gonna ask the doctor later today at 4:30 PM to see if I should get tested.

12:39 <Cepheid> I feel like I'm wasting a test if I do, but given I'm at risk..  Eeeehhh...

12:53 <Cepheid> Well, she's investigating the telehealth assessment.

12:53 <Cepheid> Tool less prodding than usual.

12:54 <Cepheid> I can understand why my parents don't like medical services.  My dad hates them becaue he lost his mother to breast cancer, and spent the last few months visiting her in a hospital.  Probably also some residual resentment about the diagnosis and treatment.

12:54 <Cepheid> My mother's a bit trickier to explain.

12:55 <Cepheid> But I suspect it has to do with me being in the hospital a lot as a child, and how the hospitals treated her when I was in the hospital as a child.

12:55 <Cepheid> The initial stance the hospitals had were that my mother was dealing with post-partum depression and thought she was imagining things.

12:55 <Cepheid> It wasn't until they decided to humor her that they changed their tone.

13:06 <Cepheid> There we go.

13:06 <Cepheid> The telehealth told her that it's probably just something else, but to stay home just in case.

13:08 <lunanightwind> hello

13:17 <Cepheid> Hello.

13:22 <ADragonDreaming> well, hopefully they are correct

13:22 <ADragonDreaming> and yeah, she should stay home.

13:31 <Cepheid> She called in sick, they're fine with it.

13:31 <Cepheid> She's also gonna ask the doctor himself about the other symptoms she has, just to make sure.

13:32 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, we're keeping a reasonable distance.

13:32 <Cepheid> Just in case.

13:36 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLz1r_sCeXc Posted last night, but I still think this is both cool and silly.

13:36 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

13:36 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Dead Cells: Rise of the Giant DLC, Major update... Thing - An animated trailer

13:40 <lunanightwind> sorry got a little distracted, hope everyone is doing ok today

13:41 <Finwe> Greetings, lunanightwind.

13:41 * Finwe doffs his hat.

13:41 <lunanightwind> hello finwe

13:41 <lunanightwind> not around for too long today, setting up a stream of the new doom game

13:41 <Cepheid> I think I'll spend the day playing Dead Cells, in fact.  Maybe even stream it.

13:41 <Cepheid> I want to get DOOM Eternal, but I'm broke.

13:42 <Finwe> I started playing Dragon Age 2.

13:42 <Finwe> I've had it for almost half a year, but I've never played it before.

13:42 <Cepheid> I've been going back and forth between other games and Grim Dawn, mostly.

13:50 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Dead Cells: The Bad Seed - Animated Trailer

13:55 <Cepheid> ... Hum, ye know what?  I'm gonna stream this.

13:55 <Cepheid> But first, I need to set up a bit.

13:56 <lunanightwind> cepheid I am gonna stream it if you wanna watch

13:56 <Cepheid> I'd like to play DOOM Eternal, myself.  So I'm afraid I'll have to refuse.

13:57 <lunanightwind> i completely understand

14:08 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/home Right, I'm about to start streaming.  I integrated the game's twitch integration, so you can mess with my game as I'm playing it.

14:08 <Cepheid> Whoops.

14:08 <Cepheid> Wrong link.

14:08 <Cepheid> https://www.twitch.tv/cepheidvar

14:09 <Cepheid> Don't mind the rating thing.  I just have it set for when I do voice chatting, because I have a sailor's mouth.

14:13 <Cepheid> Ah, I still have to use OBS, do I?

14:14 <Cepheid> Actually, I just realized I can't stream with this setup.  Nevermind.

21:04 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff - BEST Art of Starlight Glimmer - 2020 Edition [ http://tinyurl.com/tu3hdao ]

21:11 <Cepheid> Dangit Cronley, you fight with CQC weapons.  Why did you give me a gun?  That's like killing Revolver Ocelot and looting a knife off of him.

21:20 <Schism> You know, GameStop and EB remaining open despite so many warnings, just so they could sell DOOM and Animal Crossing, is right there on the line between malfeasance and utter stupidity.

21:21 <Schism> Cepheid: For your next trick, you should try and win the Cactpot.

21:23 * Ali nibbles on Schism

21:23 <Cepheid> My luck is strange.  I almost always ever seem to find stuff that *OTHER* people need.

21:23 * Schism boops the Ali with a plastic glove.

21:23 * Ali squeaks

21:23 * Schism also flails, "Alivirus!"

21:24 <Schism> Oh good.  https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/covid-19-testing-explainer-1.5502828

21:24 <Schism> 'nasopharyngeal swab'.  Ugh, I hate those.

21:25 <Schism> I say to Cepheid, who has endured however many thousand of them.

21:25 <Cepheid> Amazingly, I have not.

21:25 <Cepheid> Nasal rinses, yes.

21:25 <Schism> Huh.  I thought they were a common test.

21:25 <Cepheid> But not swabbings of the nasal passages.  Though I have on occasion used q-tips to open my nasal passages.

21:26 <Schism> > pick nose | Your nose is now open.

21:26 <Cepheid> Basically, only more hygienic.

21:26 <Cepheid> Actually does work on occasion.

21:27 <Cepheid> Dooon't really recommend it though.  Makes you sneeze.

21:27 <Schism> I can imagine so, though -- yes.

21:28 <Cepheid> Plus, if there is anything, and I mean *ANYTHING* wrong with your sinuses or nose, it'll probably hurt.

21:28 <Cepheid> Usually just burning.

21:28 <Schism> Aye.

21:28 * Schism sighs, and facepalms. Then washes his hands. "The head of the IOC thinks this will all be over and done within 4 months, so the Summer Olympics in Japan can continue without a problem."

21:29 <Cepheid> Well to be honest it's hard to say where it'll go in 4 months.

21:29 <Cepheid> It'd make more sense to make a decision a month away instead.

21:29 *** Joins: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles)

21:30 <Schism> True, but the Olympics are such a boondoggle these days that you absolutely need to have some foreknowledge.  Otherwise, you wind up with Sochi.

21:30 *** Joins: LunaNightwind (LunaNightwi@Pony-acfiub.nh.comcast.net)

21:32 *** Pony|12740 is now known as ThatAnonPony

21:32 * ThatAnonPony boops Schism.

21:33 * Schism boops the sofapone in return.

21:33 <LunaNightwind> helloo again

21:33 * Schism carefully does so, with a glove-lined hoof.

21:38 <Cepheid> My dad's using gloves and hand sanitizer.

21:38 * Ali flops over Lumindia

21:38 <Ali> God I love tabfails

21:38 * Ali boops LunaNightwind instead cause she failflop

21:38 <Schism> Well, that's why 'reopen closed tab' is an option on most browsers.

21:38 *** Joins: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

21:39 <LunaNightwind> lol

21:39 * Ali boops Schism nosie. "In IRC you silly pone."

21:39 <Schism> Come to think, I am now happily in a position at my workplace where there are very few of us, we don't hang around in clumps, and we each get a dedicated pair of computers.

21:39 <LunaNightwind> how ya doing Ali?

21:39 <Schism> Monitors leave much to be desired, tho.

21:39 <Ali> Bored out of my mind and my PC can't keep up much longer!

21:40 <LunaNightwind> i think im gonna be seeing demons in my sleep with all the doom i played today

21:40 <LunaNightwind> between eternal and 64

21:41 <LunaNightwind> and i am hell bent on beating both before the 3rd

21:41 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

21:41 <Schism> I suppose I shouldn't ask if you've already beaten Final DOOM.

21:42 <Cepheid> I'd like to ask why my vampire gear works on skeletons and undead, but if I do, it may stop working.

21:42 <Schism> (A pair of officially released modpacks.)

21:42 <Schism> Cepheid: It sucks out the mana which animates them.

21:42 <Schism> And turns it into sweet, sweet blood.

21:43 <Cepheid> Ah.

21:43 <LunaNightwind> yeah ive gone through the previous dooms Schism

21:44 <LunaNightwind> i havent streamed or archived my gameplay of older dooms but ive done it

21:44 <Schism> The next question is whether you've finished Wolfenstein 3D.

21:44 <Cepheid> So I just hit that enemy so hard I displaced it such that it's items spawned nowhere near where it died.

21:44 <LunaNightwind> yeah guys those were all games i beat like 25 years ago lol

21:45 <LunaNightwind> im only replaying doom 64 cuz it was a preorder bonus with eternal

21:45 <Schism> Doesn't hurt to replay them!  Then, there's Hexen, Heretic, and of course Rise of the Triad.  o3o

21:45 * Ali is a filthy simulator player that only plays mega man for violence

21:46 * Ali sits on Schism and bleps

21:46 <LunaNightwind> right now im going through doom 64 and eternal

21:46 <LunaNightwind> until RE3 comes out

21:46 <Ali> I'm not a fan of horror/shooters

21:46 <LunaNightwind> was thinkig about buying the humble mega capcom bundle

21:46 <LunaNightwind> but i own like half the games already

21:46 <Ali> Don't get X collection, it sucks arse

21:46 * Schism still thinks Ali should see if she can play Rabi-Ribi. The most violent weapon in that game is a squeaky hammer.

21:47 * Ali points out to Schism about her PCs age and flaws, its going kaput sooner or later

21:47 <Schism> Mmm...

21:47 <LunaNightwind> i already own x collection

21:47 <Ali> I saw the ranking of my processor Schism

21:47 <Ali> Its..pretty pathetic

21:47 <Ali> I wanted the X collections so I'd have X-X8 on PC

21:48 <Schism> I still have an HP laptop from what must be 15 years ago, chugging along.  I should really copy everything off her and put her to rest.

21:48 <Ali> But they all run at 30FPS so they're in perma slowmo

21:48 <Ali> You know how annoying Sting Camelleon is?  Pardon my horrid spelling

21:48 <LunaNightwind> https://www.humblebundle.com/games/capcom-mega?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_twos_tile_index_2_c_capcommega_bundle im thinking about buying this bundle but like i own half of them

21:49 <Ali> He spends 75% of the slomo fight invisable.

21:49 <LunaNightwind> i never noticed anyslowdown in x collection

21:49 <LunaNightwind> BRB

21:50 <Schism> Capcom does not, as a rule, do optimization or emulation well.

21:50 <Ali> Must be because your PC's hardware isn't over ten years old

21:50 <Schism> There are exceptions, but they're few and far between.

21:50 <Cepheid> Another nice piece of resist gear..

21:50 <Ali> Running on a Phenom II has reached its limits

21:50 <Cepheid> Death Ward.  +35% vitality resist.  And if my health drops below 25%, that changes to 100% for 5 seconds.

21:50 <Ali> I don't know what the cache is now on PCs but I think KB is pretty bad

21:51 <LunaNightwind> i do know that i cant run megaman x in ultrawide but thats not a horrible thing

21:51 <Ali> Least you can RUN it T.T

21:51 <LunaNightwind> yeah ali i have an i7 8700, 32gb ram and an RTX 2070 gfx card

21:51 <Ali> I just wanted the burn to the ground meme game of X7

21:51 <LunaNightwind> ok BBS my husband needs my "attention" <3 see you soon

21:51 <Ali> AMD Phenom II X4 965

21:51 <Ali> Jelly

21:53 <Cepheid> "Get us some tainted brain matter."  "Okay.  HEY!  Kreig!  C'mere a minute!  I need to borrow yer brain for something!"

21:56 <Schism> Wrong kind of tainted.

21:56 <Cepheid> Nah.

21:56 <Cepheid> He drops tainted brain matter, actually.

21:57 <Schism> Oh, sorry, conflated him with a different NPC.

21:57 <Schism> Well, /an/ NPC.

21:58 <Cepheid> And he dropped eff-all.

21:59 <Cepheid> Heck with this, another character has some matter in their private storage.  Move it to shared.

22:00 <Cepheid> Need a key for that bounty... Maybe it'll drop.

22:01 <Schism> Gasp of shock.  Cepheid, that's twinking!

22:01 <Cepheid> Yep.

22:01 * Schism waggles a finger unconvincingly.

22:01 <Schism> Urg.  I should probably do some laundry tonight.

22:02 <Cepheid> Funny thing.

22:02 <Cepheid> There's an item that characters in higher difficulties can buy.  You know what it does?

22:03 <Schism> Lets them be used as a mercenary by lower-leveled characters or something?

22:03 <Schism> I'm just spitballing, because I have no clue.

22:04 <Cepheid> Nah.

22:05 <Cepheid> You pass the item to a lower-level character, have them use it, and it unlocks the relevant difficulty, whether you're qualified to do it or not.  It also activates *ALL* of the Shrines for the difficulty levels below said difficulty level.

22:05 <Schism> That's a pity.  I'd kind of like to see that sort of thing.

22:05 <Schism> Ahh.

22:06 <Schism> Toonskip.  o3o

22:06 <Schism> Okay, before I go crazy here, I'll laundry.

22:07 <Cepheid> Catch is, the relevant items cost a fortune.

22:09 <Cepheid> Huh.  They *USED* to sell them..

22:11 <Cepheid> Oh.

22:11 <Cepheid> It helps if I'm in the higher difficulties.

22:13 <Cepheid> Ah, I guess not that expensive.  70,000 for unlocking Elite.

22:14 <Cepheid> Tempting as it is, nah.  I get all attribute bonus points that one can get from quests, all item bags, all shrines..

22:15 <Cepheid> Danged tempting though for the item bags.

22:15 <LunaNightwind> ok sorry about that im back

22:15 <LunaNightwind> and ali thats the same card i had for like 11 years

22:15 <LunaNightwind> *chipset

22:16 <Schism> Cepheid: Yeah, activating all the shrines early is seriously a losing proposition.

22:17 <Schism> I mean, you're giving up -how- much growth just to get there earlier?

22:17 <Cepheid> Oh, you get all the shrine points, so you don't lose growth.

22:18 <Cepheid> You just lose any items you would have gotten from them, or the enemies.

22:18 <PinkieShy> oof :(

22:18 <Schism> Ah, makes sense.

22:18 * PinkieShy is in a wee bit of pain right now

22:18 <PinkieShy> Pain sucks.. :/

22:18 <Ali> Well I still haz it and it runs like garbage now

22:18 <PinkieShy> Esp when its like sharp and burning pain type..

22:21 * Schism grumbles, then grabs his own laundry basket from downstairs to set up another load.

22:23 * Cepheid rampages through Salazar's dangerous little place.

22:24 <Cepheid> Now for the fun bit.

22:24 <Cepheid> That wasn't the guy I needed to kill.

22:26 <PinkieShy> The pain i am in.. Is probably going ot hurt a hella more if i chug some water..

22:26 <Schism> Make sure it's lukewarm, or else sip it.

22:26 <PinkieShy> Probably all the sodas caught up to me and caused a kidney stone..

22:26 <Schism> Could just be dehydration muscle cramps.

22:27 <Cepheid> Won't say no to a health regen ring, though.

22:28 <Schism> Your toon gets pasted in a single blow.  What will health regen do for you there?

22:30 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubBAsyTwhdM&feature=youtu.be

22:30 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

22:30 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about My life as a vampire

22:30 * Ali twitches on Schism with a hoe and an axe

22:30 <LunaNightwind> lol i just showed my husband the flandre secret battle from touhou 6 and he was just like "WUT?!"

22:31 * PinkieShy boops Ali and hugs her

22:33 * Schism digs up plenty of worms with Ali's help. But is, alas, kind of... A. doing lotsa laundry, and B. kinda not at it tonight.

22:33 * Ali understands

22:34 <Schism> Laundry more than the other thing.  That precludes gaming...

22:35 <Cepheid> Oh look.  My first complete set.

22:35 <Cepheid> ... And it's for a ranged character.

22:36 * LunaNightwind flops on the floor

22:36 <Ali> I either want to Factorio or Stardew but both are better MP.  And the servers need to update to 18.14 but that's no rush either..

22:36 <Ali> Did not mean the double period there

22:36 * Ali sits on LunaNightwind

22:37 * LunaNightwind flails

22:39 <PinkieShy> I've been watching Kung fu panda the past few days.. sadly they don't have the 3rd one available on netflix or with cable subscription.. I gotta rent or buy :/

22:43 <Schism> I suggest you look up "Kung Fu Hustle".

22:44 <Schism> And/or Shaolin Soccer.  o3o

22:45 * Cepheid picks up an item called Whispers of the Dead. He puts it to his ears. "What's that? You want me to what?"

22:46 <Schism> [Fafnir] Kill them all.  Split their skulls.  Drink their blood.  Burn their--

22:46 <Schism> *click*

22:46 * Cepheid sells it to the local junker.

22:47 <Cepheid> I like how that just happens.

22:47 * Cepheid hits a pile of debris to break it apart. Guy in the next room over spontaneously gets struck by lightning.

22:49 <Schism> Well, you did attack it.

22:49 <Schism> hrmf.  Damned cooldown times on laundry.

22:49 <LunaNightwind> debating if i want to take my meds or just go back to playing doom

22:50 <Cepheid> Rip and tear, until it is done.

22:50 <Schism> Load [laundry] into dryer, wait 60 minutes, receive [fresh laundry].  Normally I'd be building a laundromat now.

22:51 * Cepheid decides to tackle the roguelike dungeon.

22:51 *** Quits: jimm (horse@Pony-fr7.dqo.55.45.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

23:04 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: 17 of the best Starlight Glimmer Songs for Starlight Day!  [ http://tinyurl.com/r2cmk29 ]

23:05 <Cepheid> That's it game, just keep fueling the vampire.

23:05 <Cepheid> Belt that provides a life steal nova at 30% chance on hit.

23:06 <Schism> "All I'm looking for is a little bit of information." "Information is the dearest coin, and it's imperative upon the provider to discern its denomination.  Or, to put it otherwise: tell me what you want to know, and then I'll tell you what I want for it."

23:07 <Schism> "Wait.  So you're asking me to drop a little bit of information into your hat..." "For the privilege."

23:07 <Schism> "Okay.  We're done here.  Let's go."

23:08 <Cepheid> I now have an on-attack proc assigned to a skill that is, itself, an on-attack proc.

23:09 <Cepheid> Causes a weird glowing eye to orbit me.  Goes through enemies, deals damage, then gives 5% of it's damage to me in health.

23:09 <Cepheid> More blood for the vampire!

23:09 <Schism> Especially if you can get the enemies to line up for that.

23:10 <Schism> In a circle, naturally.  Or an arc.

23:13 <Cepheid> I got like, five or six different nova effects now.

23:13 <Schism> "... wait.  I've already given you a bit of information.  Tell me the name of a person, relevant to my interests, which has stopped by of late." "Clever girl.  That would be the Aldstvur family."

23:14 <Lumindia> h e c k

23:14 <Lumindia> confirmed case in my town

23:15 <Schism> Welcome to the new world, Lumin.  Isn't a plague fun?

23:15 * Cepheid enters roguelike dungeon. Checks modifiers. "Ignited. All enemies are on fire and deal fire damage." *Looks at 80% fire resist* ...

23:16 <Schism> I'm imagining maniacal laughter now.

23:17 <Cepheid> Something like that.

23:18 <Cepheid> The other effect is -5% attack speed for the player, but gain a +20% boost to crit damage.

23:19 <Cepheid> Dang, killed in one of the treasure rooms.  Ah well.

23:20 <Cepheid> Fun note.  The local loblaws is only letting in 10 people at a time.

23:23 <Cepheid> That was... mildly distressing to see.  Swarm of weak enemies comes towards me.  Like, really weak.  One of them hits me, the lifesteal nova fires.  They all simply disappear into a red mist.

23:24 <Lumindia> haha

23:24 <Lumindia> nice

23:27 <Schism> It's whiskey time.  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETknFIDXgAIkkuz.jpg

23:27 <Cepheid> And yet *ANOTHER* on-attack proc!  Class skill this time.  360 arc attack, does 100% of weapon damage, some piercing and bleeding damage, triggers at a rate of 12% at level 2.

23:27 <Cepheid> I swear, by the time I reach the final boss, I'm going to have so many procs I'll be able to just stand there and have the boss kill itself.

23:28 <Schism> There are worse ways to defeat an aRPG boss.

23:28 <Cepheid> 9 more levels, and I can start using legendary weapons.  And finding them.

23:30 <Cepheid> Of course we all know that just means "I can find gear I can't use."

23:31 <Cepheid> That's like, the third piece of the Perdition set I've found.

23:37 <Cepheid> I feel like the DOOM Slayer.  Only more vampiric, at this point.

23:42 <LunaNightwind> sorry got dragged away from the computer agai

23:44 <Finwe> o3o

23:46 <Cepheid> Huzzah, honored with Devil's Crossing.  *Buys new amulet, some augments.  Boosts damage output by nearly 600 DPS.*

23:49 <LunaNightwind> tomorrow i rip and tear some more

23:49 <LunaNightwind> these missions are sooooooo dang long in eternal

23:49 <Lumindia> yeah, they're a good deal longer than in '16

23:49 <Cepheid> Oooh, antibiotics.

23:50 <Lumindia> you're an antibiotic

23:50 <LunaNightwind> like i streamed for 3 hours today lumindia and got through like 2 missions i think

23:51 <LunaNightwind> i finished the one where you get dash

23:54 <Lumindia> most recent acquisition is the chaingun

23:54 * Cepheid goes to kill Ungoliant.
