00:04 <Cepheid> https://www.grimtools.com/map/markers/shrines/12131 so ye see all that webby green stuff?  For each second I am standing in it, I take 15% of my health in instant damage.  This doesn't show the wandering clouds of green.

00:04 <Cepheid> The clouds do the same thing.  There is nothing I can do to mitigate the damage.

00:23 <Cepheid> Put more simply, an MMO healer's favourite element: fire you can stand in.

00:24 <Ali> But I just want to see the world burn up close

00:29 <Cepheid> Port Valbury is pretty much covered in fire.  And what isn't covered in fire usually has ambulatory cloud s of flame that seek the player and have the same effect.  And this entire place is listed as a roguelike dungeon.  That means during any given session of gameplay, you have one shot at it.  Die, and you have to start a new session.

00:35 <Ali> Cepheid, if I disable bug evolution and expansion, will that disable the big achievements?

00:35 <Jackie> Is this ever true that China has no more cases?

00:35 <Jackie> I feel like this is propaganda

00:35 <Cepheid> I have no idea Ali

00:36 <Jackie> As it's really difficult to keep the virus gone

00:36 <Ali> Looks like it can be

00:37 <Cepheid> It seems the only settings that affect achieves is enemy base settings and peaceful mode.

00:37 <Cepheid> It only disables two achievements though.

00:43 * Cepheid tries to read some lore. A bunch of zombies rise from their gwaves and attack. "Excuse me, but I'm reading. Can it wait?"

01:11 <Cepheid> Whelp.  I died.  Not because of overwhelming firepower.  Nah, because three heatseeking percentile-damaging fires sought me out.  Where I couldn't move.

07:02 <Ali> Mine did the same thing

07:02 <Ali> By Wednesday, can't go anywhere unless its important

07:03 <Ali> Got about 90m till I have to get a rocket off the ground and the tech is halted at 50%...

07:07 <ConfusionRift> That sucks. Then again, yellow has always been a pain.

07:07 * ConfusionRift receives a text. "Oh! HAAH. Heheheeeee."

07:08 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, there's a good chance they're gonna start firing or penalizing the overnight crew.

07:09 <ConfusionRift> That's good. They have been utterly useless.

07:10 <ConfusionRift> Give the position to someone who needs the cash, and is willing to work it.

07:19 * ConfusionRift jumps into the MP server.

07:20 <ConfusionRift> Gonna do some stuff I guess. Maybe push in the other iron and copper into the system.

07:51 <ConfusionRift> Well, there's a 5.4m patch south.

07:57 <Ali> Iron?

07:57 <ConfusionRift> Yep.

07:57 * Ali is about 75% thru the rocket with 50m left, is thinking she's gonna make it.

07:58 <ConfusionRift> There are some bases, of course. But it's far less dense than the large 10m patch we left for dead.

07:59 <Ali> I'm sure I could've drunken danced thru them, but its a lot of bases

08:00 <Ali> Ruin my fun beacons and not allow prod modules to be transmitted

08:03 <Koopz> had a weird dream today... somehow heard about a noise complaint from neighbours, walked over to a building which doesn't even remotely resemble the one i'm living in, passed some neighbours standing around in the floor that doesn't look like mine either,  walked up to the 1st story, put the key into what apparently was my appartment, opened the

08:03 <Koopz> door and walked into an empty room, looked to the right. Empty rooms connected by doorless frames. And i yelled "Where's my stuff?!"... Apparantly the restaurant on the other side of the building which was called "Bismarck" teared down the walls and claimed those rooms for expansion... and i thought to myself "guess that's the consequence for

08:03 <Koopz> refusing to pay the extra costs from 2017 and 2018 my landlord informed me a year too late about"...

08:03 * Ali nibbles on Koopz

08:03 <Ali> 95% ConfusionRift~

17:59 <Cepheid> Schism:  Hah..

17:59 <Cepheid> Hum..

17:59 <Cepheid> Microsoft is working with Collabora to implement OpenGL over DX12.

18:00 <Cepheid> Hilarious.  We have a library for DX9/10/11 over Vulkan, OpenGL over Vulkan.  Vulkan over Metal(And subsequently, DX9/10/11 over Vulkan over Metal, and OpenGL over Vulkan over Metal.)  Now we have OpenGL over DX12.

18:00 <Cepheid> Goes to show how poorly all these old APIs were designed.

18:01 <Cepheid> By giving low-level, nearly bare-metal access to the hardware through APIs, we're able to re-implement all these old APIs *USING* the newer APIs.

18:01 <Cepheid> And the end-result is sometimes improved performance.

18:01 <Cepheid> If anything, Vulkan has done a lot for gaming on Linux, because of the DX9/10/11 layer over it.

18:01 <Cepheid> That said, these layering systems are revealing problems in how developers worked with these APIs.

18:02 <Cepheid> DXVK, the DirectX 9/10/11-on-Vulkan implementation requires a lot of "quirks"

18:03 <Cepheid> Quirks being little differences in behavior from the reference implementation, because one developer decided to use a DX9/10/11 feature in an unintended way.

18:04 <Cepheid> That said, the problem isn't exclusive to DX9/10/11.  Little unfair to Microsoft in that regard.  It also affects OpenGL.

18:05 <Cepheid> And DX12 and Vulkan, between different vendor implementations.

18:05 <Cepheid> Metal, can't comment.  It's exclusive to Apple, so..

18:06 <Cepheid> Metal being the preferred API for Mac OS X and iPhone presents a problem for me.

18:08 <Cepheid> Namely, I have no way to support Apple operating systems.  I don't have a functioning Apple computer, and..

18:39 <Cepheid> Spitfire's not quite curling up next to me, and he still climbs onto me from time to time, but he generall gets the idea that when I'm typing, laying next to me is sufficient.

19:35 <Ali> Still did so many things wrong Cepheid

19:35 <Ali> Like the balance to the copper line was off

19:36 <Ali> Then I just can't get the ballance right to the green circuit maker and that causes everything else to cluster*yay*

19:42 <Cepheid> The problem with balancing everything is that it involves math.  Lots of math.

19:42 <Cepheid> Plus, you need to balance the individual lanes *BEFORE* they go into a balancer, or it'll all come out lopsided.

19:43 <Cepheid> A balancer only ensures that all the input will be split evenly among the output.  On the same side.

19:43 * Ali nod nods

19:43 <Cepheid> So if your miners are all filling just the left-hand side of a belt, and then go into a balancer, only the left-hand sides of the output belts will be fed.

19:44 <Ali> Well here's the example

19:44 <Cepheid> What you need then is a lane balancer.  These are, fortunately, pretty straightforward.

19:44 <Ali> The circuit maker needs two separate copper insert lanes

19:44 <Ali> So you have them feed off the main line

19:45 <Ali> But the said line of circuits is so long and the yellow belt is so slow, that the thing never reaches 100% and thus all copper demands behind it suffer.

19:46 <Cepheid> I'd have to see the problem visually in order to understand what's going on.

19:48 <Ali> I am glad I got the achievement done, just it was a bit too close for comfort

19:49 <Ali> I know the final time still had 45 minutes, but it felt like it could've been worse, I shoved prod modules into the silo to slow it down due to the resource issues

20:00 <Cepheid> Man, my sugar still spikes when I eat sweets, for obvious reasons.  But it really plummets back down to normal levels quickly.

20:01 <Cepheid> At around 9:30 AM, I had some cereal and a few uh, cupcakes and other sweets my parents bought.  Sugar jumped to 17 or so.  Then 3 hours later, plummeted straight back to 6.8

20:10 <Schism> I'm at 10.  Kinda wondering if I still have diabetes...

20:11 <Cepheid> Weren't you born with it?

20:12 <Schism> No, my pancreas gave up the ghost at age 13.

20:12 <Schism> I'm joking, all told.

21:11 <Vulpor> Hey everyone

21:12 <Vulpor> I hope you all are safe and sound and all that

21:13 <Ali> Safe and sound but losing sanity

21:14 <Vulpor> Ali oh I know that feeling

21:14 <Vulpor> I work for Walmart so I still have work

21:14 *** Joins: jimm (horse@Pony-fr7.dqo.55.45.IP)

21:14 <Vulpor> But I am trying to stay away from news about the virus

21:15 <Vulpor> I know its bad I know how to keep safe stop saying I need to stay home your not paying my bills

21:15 * Ali nods and hugs the Vulpor

21:15 * Vulpor is hugged

21:16 <Vulpor> and damn it they screwed with my wrestling and sports in general

21:16 <Vulpor> A person can only watch so much youtube or play skyrim

21:17 <Vulpor> I even bought Fallout 76 that was 20 bucks I will never get back and a day or two of "this is ok but I will never really get into this"

21:18 <Lumindia> ...

21:25 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I'm doing *GREAT*.

21:25 <Cepheid> My lungs are clearing up considerably.

21:28 <Schism> To be honest, I'm glad to hear that.  I've yet to experience any symptoms myself.

21:29 <Schism> Outside of a serial case of facepalm.

21:29 <Ali> Vulpor, really, why 76?

21:31 * Ali snuffles into Schism

21:32 <Schism> I'm kinda angry.

21:32 <Schism> https://twitter.com/theogrin/status/1242494944809492482

21:34 <Cepheid> It's not an unexpected behaviour from people.

21:36 <Schism> Randomly, Cepheid, don't you know CK?

21:38 <Cepheid> CK?

21:38 <Cepheid> Need a bit more info than that.

21:38 <Schism> A guy who was around on #ragnarokwisdom.

21:39 <Schism> Either way, heh.

21:40 <Cepheid> Can't say I'm familiar with them at this point anymore.

21:40 <Schism> So it goes.  o3o

21:41 <Cepheid> "Toronto woman stuck on cruise said she didn't expect someone would get sick."

21:42 <Schism> aaaaaaa.

21:43 <Cepheid> Consequences of their stupidity.

21:45 <Schism> Except that they're not the one getting sick...

21:46 <Cepheid> I know, I know.

21:47 <Cepheid> My annoyance right now is towards Ford.  Apparently his government has decided that the work my dad does, is considered essential services.

21:47 <Schism> Rob Ford is... limited in intellectual scope.

21:47 <Schism> Okay, let's put it plain.

21:48 <Cepheid> As it is, my dad answers maybe two, three calls tops.

21:48 <Schism> THE MAN IS AN IDIOT!  Completely bereft of brain!

21:48 <Cepheid> And now his workplace is having a *NEW* issue.

21:48 <Cepheid> Mainly, parts aren't coming in, because of reduced delivery service.

21:49 * Schism shrieks in preternatural despair.

21:49 <Cepheid> Speaking of deliveries, I should check the tracking on that package.

21:50 <Schism> Cepheid: By the way, are you okay with this silly race?

21:50 <Cepheid> In transit.

21:50 <Cepheid> Hmm?  Race?

21:51 <Schism> Stupid idea, the whole Timespinner thingy.

21:52 <Cepheid> It's been some time since I played the game.  Like, over a year ago.

21:52 <Cepheid> My memory is not that good.

22:00 <Cepheid> Right, did some code.  I think I'm good for today.  I don't want to overdo it because even programming can, inexplicably, worsen my health if I overdo it, somehow.

22:17 * Ali nuzzles into Schism

22:24 * Cepheid finishes coding for *REAL* this time. Added a quick check to ensure he doesn't overwrite critical files.

22:25 <Cepheid> Tomorrow, implement fields.

22:27 <Cepheid> Fields being a collection of rooms and being able to move between them.  It'll likely take more than a day to implement, though.

22:30 <Vulpor> Ok when is Easter?

22:31 <Vulpor> Someone is saying this virus maybe gone by Easter

22:31 <Vulpor> If true, my wedding may actually be on

22:36 <Cepheid> Hate to say this, but the likelihood of them being right is pretty low with current info.

22:37 <Vulpor> I am thinking 12 weeks minimum

22:38 <Vulpor> Oddly enough my life has not changed that much because I work for Walmart

22:39 <Cepheid> It could take up to a full year.  Depends on how vaccine research and lockdown procedures go.

22:39 <Vulpor> I don't really go out that much as is

22:39 <Cepheid> Problem is, people are ignoring lockdown procedures, distancing stuff, and so on.

22:39 <Cepheid> And are *STILL* travelling.

22:39 <Cepheid> It's because of these morons that it'll take much longer for it to go away.

22:39 <Vulpor> Well we don't have the law enforcement to enforce the lockdowns

22:40 <Vulpor> We just cant make millions of people force them I mean to stay home

22:43 *** Quits: coppertiger5 (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net) (Connection closed)

22:44 <Cepheid> Yerp.

22:44 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I'm amazed at how well a controller works for ARPG games like Grim Dawn, Diablo 3, etc.

22:44 <Vulpor> Also, my plea to anyone young and invested in the market is to stay in

22:45 <Vulpor> If you do not need the money now do not sell anything

22:46 <Cepheid> I am staying indoors literally because A)  My parents won't let me leave, and B)  I've got terrible lung and sinus health, my immune system is crap because of it, and if I catch COVID-19, it isn't gonna be pretty.

22:47 * Ali rolls around

22:47 <Cepheid> I'm mostly confined to my bedroom because my parents, meanwhile, are the most likely means by which I'd contract it.

22:47 <Vulpor> Cepheid sorry to read that hope you can stay safe

22:47 <Cepheid> My dad's a technician, he goes to people's houses, office buildings, and the like, and repairs their printers, laptops and computers.  His job is considered an essential service, so he can't stop doing it.

22:48 <Cepheid> My mother's a security guard who works for the city.  For the most part, her employer is, despite it's usual behaviour, trying to conform to regulations.

22:48 <Cepheid> But that doesn't stop people from being stupid.

22:48 <Ali> Eenope

22:49 <Cepheid> Case in point, word got around that an employee working at a different building waited two days to tell their employer that their parents had returned from a trip, testing POSITIVE for COVID-19.

22:49 <Cepheid> So everyone in that building had to be sent home and tested.

22:49 <Cepheid> Fortunately it's not the building my mother works at, but yeah.

22:50 <Cepheid> The problem though, is that as more of these people are put off work, the less guards there are to work the various sites.

22:50 <Cepheid> My mother might be moved to another site temporarily, or an employee might be moved to hers, and in either case, there's a chance of contamination.

22:50 <Cepheid> And if either of my parents get it, or at least become contaminated and spread it around the house?  Might as well start filling out my will.

22:52 <Cepheid> Overreacting?  Perhaps.  But the last time I contracted anything like the flu, I remember hallucinating, talking to shadows, and nearly unbearable pain with a fever of 103+.

22:52 <Cepheid> COVID-19, meanwhile, is worse.  I don't want it.

22:53 <Cepheid> If I contract it because one of the people my parents was in contact with was stupid and didn't say anything, I swear, I legitimately swear, I will seek that person down and punch them.

22:53 <Ali> I haven't been majorly sick in a long time, but I'm hunkering down to, as much as I think this is crazy.

22:56 <Ali> Also first small resaurant's death happened.  A place that's been around for 25 years is shutting its doors for good now that the viurs has pretty much killed off their business

23:09 <Vulpor> I've gotta place that is new here that my fiance and I go to for breakfast and we said if they need help we will do whatever to save their business

23:10 <Vulpor> Sorry to hear about your resteraunt Ali

23:10 <Ali> Its not surprising, but sad most places can't afford to be shut down this long

23:10 <Vulpor> Hope the owners can re open somewhere else

23:10 <Ali> No the story sounded like they were done for good

23:11 <Vulpor> Meanwhile Mcdonalds is doing drive thru

23:11 <Ali> McD's thrives off the drive thru

23:11 <Vulpor> Why couldint they do curb side pick up?

23:12 <Ali> Cause of said drive thru, its not a sonic

23:12 * Cepheid picks up a totally normal buckler in Grim Dawn. <Me> "What the-" <Buckler> "I am a totally normal buckler." <Me> "You are a totally normal buckler."

23:12 <Lumindia> o.o

23:13 <Cepheid> https://www.grimtools.com/db/search?query=Totally%20Normal&in_description=1&exact_match=0 In case you thought I was joking about the name.

23:13 <Vulpor> No Ali I meant your local resturant

23:14 <Ali> I think they were, but the costs of doing that was too much for them?  I don't know, I don't remember the whole story.

23:15 <Ali> Seems like my steam broke as well.

23:18 <Vulpor> Ali what ya watching?

23:19 <Ali> Nothing, steam died for a bit

23:19 <Vulpor> I got MST3K jamming

23:19 <Vulpor> Kinda fits the times we are living in

23:19 <Vulpor> Watching bad movies and cannot leave lol

23:20 <Cepheid> Dred, what're ye doing back up?  I killed you five minutes ago.  Bloody undead, never know when to stay down.

23:20 <PrincessRainbows> It's extremely worrying to have kidney disease along with immunosupression here

23:25 * PrincessRainbows still flops on Ali

23:25 * Ali brushies the PrincessRainbows

23:27 <PrincessRainbows> It's the first time I am legitimately sad for anything beside myself

23:29 *** Quits: Vulpor (Vulpor@Pony-gd4flh.242-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

23:44 <Cepheid> Hum, I suppose I should make progress on the storyline.

23:48 <Schism> Okay.  So.  I was supposed to see sunny skies and lovely cloud-free days, today and yesterday.

23:49 <Schism> I understand that weather forecasters are basically shaking a magic 8-Ball, but what the HECK?!
