07:59 * Schism also wonders who Ali is romancing. o3o
08:00 <ConfusionRift> No car, on lockdown, still have to go to work. Got a pass, but I still have to walk there.
08:00 <Schism> ConfusionRift: The black wind howls...

08:00 <Schism> Duck feathers.

08:06 <Schism> (And enough money to afford them.)

08:07 <Ali> Oh hells no
08:08 <Ali> There's still a few fish that dart way too much before losing htem
08:08 <Schism> Oh, ah.
08:08 <Schism> Tuna are the worst.
08:11 <Ali> God I swear, is the ocean only filled with anchovies and Sardines?
08:12 <Schism> During winter? Quite possibly.
08:13 <Schism> And tuna, and some Red Mullet.
08:13 <Schism> But at night...
08:13 <Schism> Well, you might catch a squid at night.
08:14 <Ali> I'm trying for a squid but its not night yet.
08:14 <Schism> Oh, they only appear at night.
08:15 <Ali> Also its way too easy to get irriduim quality. This shouldn't be possible year one.
08:15 <Schism> Depending on your feats, it's perfectly possible.
08:16 <Schism> I remember ramping up to 10 Gathering in year 1, and I picked the Iridium quality feat.
08:16 <Schism> And fish are... fish.

10:09 <Schism> Hee, yup.
10:10 <Schism> I still think it's a bit more Symphony of the Night, but OoE might be a better similarity...
10:11 <ConfusionRift> The reason why I put it more towards OoE is because you can combine weapons, and each weapon has its cooldown and exp.
10:15 <Schism> Fair enough!
10:18 <ConfusionRift> You can combine weapons, but they also alter your button presses due to the different cooldowns. That's why it felt more like OoE. Also... depending where this game goes, this might be that game that's probably gonna help with that classic Igavania itch.
10:22 <Schism> Certainly seems that way...!

13:36 <Cepheid> So, food poisoning last night, you think?
13:45 <ADragonDreaming> Nah.
13:46 <ADragonDreaming> Prior to all the lockdown, my parents had gone over to Canada to help out my sister, who's been dealing with illness for like 6 weeks or so, now. Bugs going through her, her husband, and their five kids. Not the COVID, mind.
13:46 <Cepheid> Ouch.
13:46 <ADragonDreaming> A couple days ago, my dad was feeling oogy - slight fever, slight nausea. Then my mom felt oogy the night before last.
13:47 <Cepheid> Fun, fun.
13:47 <ADragonDreaming> I got away with headache and that particular type of thirst.
14:01 <Cepheid> Hum.
14:03 <Cepheid> I miscalculated how large La-Mulana's screens are in tiles.
14:05 <Cepheid> The game uses prescaled graphics. What looks to be 10x10 tiles are actually 20x20 pixels in size. The game's intended display resolution is 640x480, which means it's actually 320x240 when you take into consideration the scaling. At 10x10 tiles at that size, the screens are 32x24 tiles, not 64x48 like I thought. Oops.
14:10 <Cepheid> That said, it's only of relevance because I initially tried to pick a 16:9 aspect ratio that was close to 640x480 vertically. This resulted in a much sharper appearance than desired. Also, it explains why my rooms seem so freakishly large.
14:10 <Cepheid> Taking this new information into account, the closest I can get 16:9 is 480x270. Any closer, and I get non-square pixels.
14:25 <Cepheid> This has a few side effects, really. 1) Less work, collision-wise. 2) Less work rendering-wise. 3) Looks more like I Intended it to. 4) Smaller room sizes mean less details. Costs.
14:44 <Cepheid> There we are, that's more the effect I was trying to achieve.
14:56 <Cepheid> Now I just need to fix up all the physics stuff.
15:07 <Cepheid> Oh, I know what's happening.
15:08 <Cepheid> I'll save it for later though. It's the weekend. I should be relaxing.
15:25 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony.
15:40 <Cepheid> https://anuke.itch.io/mindustry Hey ADragonDreaming. You check this game out yet?
15:43 <ADragonDreaming> huh. intredasting.

15:58 <Lumindia_> wireless charging is black magic
15:59 <Cepheid> Not really.
16:03 <Cepheid> Transformers use something similar. Make two copper wire coils, A and B. B is connected to some circuitry to create a complete circuit. Perhaps a light bulb. Place A and B next to one another. Apply a current across A. You'll see some current across B, even though the two aren't touching.
16:03 <Lumindia_> black magic as far as I'm concerned
16:04 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
16:04 <Cepheid> I may have the above stuff a bit wrong.

16:05 <Cepheid> Basic gist of it is that magnetic fields are used.
16:06 <Cepheid> The concept is basically used for increasing or decreasing voltages, especially AC voltages. How wireless charging words, it's probably similar in principle, but a different concept altogether. Let's see..
16:07 <Cepheid> Ah, actually it appears to be pretty much the same concept.
16:12 <Cepheid> !link Oh my gods. Minute 6:20 or so.

16:25 <Cepheid> Sorry.
16:27 * Finwe noms on Lumindia_.
16:29 * Cepheid facepalms as the video just gets worse. Now he's really upset that he shared it. =.=;
16:30 * Lumindia_ looks at new iphone and what it's asking
16:31 * Lumindia_ opens mouth and the cries of the damned start eminating
16:31 <Cepheid> What's it asking?
16:31 <Lumindia_> This is a brand new phone... why is remote management for American Trust Senior Care LLC enabled?
16:31 <Lumindia_> Fresh out of the shrinkwrap
16:31 <Lumindia_> And this garbage is enabled
16:32 <Cepheid> Welcome to the world of bloatware. My suggestion?
16:32 <Cepheid> If you bought the phone, as in, completely paid up front..
16:33 <Cepheid> CFW if you want to be rid of bloatware.
16:33 <Lumindia_> the hell is CFW?
16:33 <Cepheid> Custom firmware. Another term for the concept is rooting and installing your own OS.
16:34 <Cepheid> Most custom OSes remove all the bloatware.
16:34 <Cepheid> The only downside is on Samsung devices, it disables their security platform, KNOX, which is required for a few things here and there, like Samsung Pay.
16:34 <Lumindia_> iPhone XR
16:34 <Cepheid> Oh.
16:35 <Cepheid> iPhone. Nevermind.
16:35 <Lumindia_> And don't say 'don't buy an iPhone'
16:35 <Cepheid> No rooting there as far as I know.
16:35 <Lumindia_> I'm not in the mood for it
16:35 <Cepheid> Wasn't going to.
16:35 <Lumindia_> Good
16:35 <Cepheid> My dislike for Apple products tends to be mostly with the requirement that you *MUST* have a Mac in order to do development on them.
16:36 <Cepheid> Otherwise, they're about as secure and as performant as any other device. If anything, iPhones have one major advantage over Android devices that makes them easier to develop games for.
16:36 <Lumindia_> what would that be?
16:36 <Cepheid> Conformance testing to make sure the drivers actually ******* work.
16:36 <Finwe> Cepheid: Uhh, Ministry of Silly Walks Generated by a Genetic Algorithm.
16:37 <Cepheid> Basically, Apple tests the drivers for their iPhones to make sure all the relevant output is correct.
16:37 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, Android devices?
16:38 <Cepheid> Good friggen luck getting an OpenGL/Vulkan/Etc application running the same on all of them.
16:38 <Cepheid> It's worse than the video driver situation even for PCs and laptops.
16:45 <Cepheid> 100% honest here, I regret my decision of an nVidia RTX card.
16:46 <Cepheid> Not because it's crashing or anything like that.
16:46 <Cepheid> But because of the Linux support from nVidia.
16:46 <Finwe> I was surprised to find some process hogging 600% of processor time, but then I remembered that I had Folding at Home installed.
16:47 <Cepheid> BRB. Gonna switch to Linux for something.
16:51 <Cepheid> Right, so basically my issue with Linux is, as stated, nVidia support. I'd much prefer to run KDE Plasma, but, the performance is garbage.
16:52 <Cepheid> Plus, not sure if it's related to the graphics, but something on my PC does *NOT* like Linux.

17:02 <Cepheid> Doesn't really affect me, except extend when I start repaying the loan by 3 or 4 months.

17:18 <Finwe> I really don't know.
17:19 <Finwe> She had a severe stroke a couple of years ago, and the stress caused by increased workload due to the pandemic had caused some complications.
17:21 <Finwe> I spoke with her on the telephone today and she was clearly somewhat incoherent.
17:22 * Cepheid sighs.
17:22 <Cepheid> I did a system update on my PC.
17:22 <Cepheid> Now it can't find the Ethernet adapter.
17:22 <ADragonDreaming> ouch
17:22 <Cepheid> And somehow, I never installed dosfstools
17:22 <Cepheid> It's likely not finding the ethernet card because the wrong kernel version is being booted.
17:23 <Cepheid> I have a solution but it's a pain in the butt.
17:24 <Finwe> Linux kernel?
17:27 <Finwe> It's just a matter of picking the right one in UEFI or GRUB2.

18:56 <Finwe> British Summer Time, Central European Summer Time and East European Summer Time.
19:00 <Finwe> Whatever the in my opinion totally futile clock-fiddling does, it does not save a single hour of daylight.
19:00 * Pony|83104 boops Finwe.
19:02 * Finwe scrunchymuzzles in Pony|83104's general direction.
19:02 <ADragonDreaming> What it does is shift things so that there is more daylight towards the end of the day, which leads to people being more willing to go out and about during the evening hours, leading to an increase in the business to retail locations.
19:02 <ADragonDreaming> It has zero benefit to farmers, and was never for the farmers.
19:04 <Finwe> That's mostly in April and September.
19:04 <Finwe> The rest of the summer time period it's completely pointless.

20:14 <Cepheid> You ever have one of those moments where you're doing something, then your mind just snaps, goes "Nope. I'm done with this situation." and then does everything possible to resolve it, to the point of madness and exhaustion?
20:15 <Cepheid> Because that just happened to me. What started as cleaning the cat litter in my bathroom turned into "**** this." and then cleaning the drain of my sink and bathtub out so that they drain properly, then cleaning my bathtub, then washing the shower walls, shower head, tub controls, etc. Then I vacuumed the bathroom walls free of cat hair, and now I'm about to go wash the walls.

20:27 <Cepheid> Back. I was told by those higher up in the household to stop.
20:27 <Ali> Most of the time when my mind goes *yay* this, it ususly screw that.
20:28 <Cepheid> Full story: Went to clean the upstairs cat litter COMPLETELY, that is, empty it, wash it, refill it, etc.
20:28 <Cepheid> When doing that, I noticed the bathtub drain wasn't draining. So I went to fix *THAT* afterwards.
20:28 <Ali> Fun fun
20:28 <Cepheid> Then I figure, I have the snake out. Do the sink.
20:28 <Ali> Obsessive cleaning to the resuce :P
20:28 * Ali also can't spell
20:28 <Cepheid> Then I look at my shower. When I did the bathtub drain, it got a little grimy. So I jumped into an hour-long cold shower, and scrubbed down the tub, and the walls of the shower.
20:29 <Cepheid> And so on, and so on, and so on.
20:29 <Cepheid> It just... spiraled out of control.

21:19 <Lumindia_> sop it's pizza time
21:19 <Lumindia_> what pizza to I have? Pepperoni, or Triple Meat/
21:20 <Schism> Hawaiian!
21:20 <Cepheid> Triple Meat. Meat for the meat Lumindia!
21:20 <Lumindia_> Frick yeah, triple meat time!
21:20 <Lumindia_> My body demands the flesh of fallen animals
21:23 <Cepheid> Strangely, I myself have been craving meat a lot lately. No idea why.
21:23 <Ali> It does the body good *shot*
21:31 * Cepheid loads Grim Dawn up. Checks faction reps. 300 points from the next level for Malmouth Resistance. "Kill Aetherial Vangaurd." "... Okay, I can do that." Cepheid goes on a rampage across Malmouth's remains.
21:33 <Cepheid> And there we go.
21:33 * Cepheid continues his rampage anyways. Because loot.
21:36 <Cepheid> Hum, running low on money. Gonna have to start collecting and selling greens by the bucketful again.
21:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> What on earth is triple meat?
21:48 <Lumindia_> a pizza with three types of meat on it
21:48 <Lumindia_> ez
21:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> You silly filly. I figured that much out.
21:51 <Starlight_Glimmer> I think we're beyond trouts now, aren't we?
21:51 * Starlight_Glimmer slaps Lumindia_ with a tuna
21:52 * Cepheid returns from the Fleshworks with an infinite meat pizza for Lumindia_. "Uhm, ignore the glowing green bits. Aetherials tend to glow green and spark green electricity for a bit. Shouldn't hurt. It's like red bull, except instead of giving you wings, it gives you extra limbs."
21:52 <ADragonDreaming> Have been playing Tomb Raider. Because, you know, it was free.
21:53 <Schism> Mmm. Chili...
21:53 <ADragonDreaming> And good lord, they do not pull the punches in terms of physical pain and damage.

22:17 <Cepheid> For those who don't recall, when I suffered heatstroke a few years back, my dad insisted a clinic would be enough. It wasn't until I was on the pavement of a parking lot, being tended to by numerous restaurant workers, and an ambulance shows up that he got told in stern words I should have went to the ER.

22:24 <Ali> red even
22:25 <Cepheid> Storms can spawn practically out of thin air.
22:25 <Cepheid> I know this, because I've seen it. Literal storms that, inexplicably, just pop up right on top of where I am. No approach, no indications of storms or rain around us.
22:25 <Cepheid> Just one moment, sunny and calm, the next, rain and wind.
22:26 <Ali> Yes I know of the supercell
22:27 <Lumindia_> what about the perfectcell?

22:29 * Cepheid enters a Dangerous Domain. Looks at the effect. "Armored. Enemies gain +8% Physical Resist, +8% Pierce Resist, -8% Elemental Resist."
22:29 <Cepheid> This isn't going to save you, monsters.
22:31 <Cepheid> I deal 2738-3983 physical, 3871 pierce, 61-213 fire, 1805-2307 vitality, 55-221 chaos, 146 aether, and 426 bleeding damage per strike. Totaled, that's 9103 to 11122 damage
22:34 <Cepheid> And that's not including any retaliation damage I do, or damage caused by simply STANDING NEAR ME.
22:37 <Cepheid> Currently the most dangerous threats to be are superbosses, and incredibly large swarms.
22:39 * PrincessRainbows licks all the horses so much
22:39 <Schism> What.
22:39 <Schism> Game, that is not... that ...
22:40 <Cepheid> Apparently, at some point, I acquired 80% resistances in all but piercing and physical.
22:41 <Cepheid> I have 21% physical resist, and 26% pierce resist.
22:43 <Schism> It so transpires that there's a drawbridge which pulls back at your approach.
22:43 <Schism> By the time I see it, it's already raised.
22:44 <Schism> The solution is to use the Sands of Time while in the next room, and run across before it can be pulled up.

23:22 <Cepheid> Yeah, this isn't anything like that. Just my usual tax stuff. In fact, because I'm unemployed, I don't get anything really, from the government, to deal with this stuff.
23:23 <Cepheid> Really should look into freelancing.

23:31 <Schism> My kingdom for an Anchor.
23:35 <Schism> Okay, I'm probably WAY too overleveled for this boss fight. This will either turn into a ridiculous farce or an object lesson in why stats don't mean anything if the boss is unfamiliar to you.
23:35 * Cepheid fills in one more Devotion point. Gets a new on-attack proc. Meteor Shower.
23:37 <Cepheid> 30% chance on attack. Recharges every 3 seconds...
23:37 <Ali> That seems way too short of a cooldown.
23:40 <Cepheid> Damage isn't the greatest.
23:40 <Cepheid> On top of that, technically it's...
23:40 <Cepheid> 6% chance of proccing, since it's attached to a skill that triggers 20% of the time when I attack.
23:41 <Schism> Ohhhhh...
23:41 <Schism> This game wants you to level up your various attack items in order to create rings and necklaces.
23:45 <Cepheid> Hmm. These boots are worth holding onto. Level 75, though... 6 levels away.
23:49 <Schism> WAY overleveled.
23:50 <Schism> I just basically tanked giant birb chain monster. Damnit, I'll have to avoid that on future playthroughs.
23:51 <Cepheid> ... This relic looks nice. Has a 20% chance on attack to perform Salvation. 8 second skill recharge, 6 second duration, 8% + 350 Health restored, increases health regeneration by a staggering 80%, and increases armor by 20%.
23:51 * MaredoggieRainbows chews on Ali's hooves too
23:51 * Ali squeaks and pats MaredoggieRainbows
23:52 * MaredoggieRainbows wags her tail and continues
23:53 * Ali brushies MaredoggieRainbows and hugs her softly as she noms on her hoof.

23:53 <Schism> Oh my gods, YES, FINALLY. Warps are unlocked.
23:54 <Ali> But before you can use them
23:54 <Ali> NOW YOU MUST FIGHT ME *superboss appears*
23:54 <Schism> I actually just beat the snot out of a giant catbird to unlock them, so, nyeah.
23:56 <Ali> I said superboss, not some underleveled boss guarding it Schism :P
23:56 <Cepheid> Hum, I need... A ghostly longsword and...
23:56 <Schism> It wasn't underleveled! I was just.... well, I'm level 30.
23:56 <Cepheid> A troll weapon.
23:57 <Cepheid> Fortunately, both are easily found.
23:57 <Schism> "Barrage enemies with shards of a moon." Okay. Let's give it a try.
23:57 <Schism> Longer-range physical strike, okay.
