05:39 <Ali> I'd like to not talk about that

05:44 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
05:46 <PinkieShy> This game.. O_O
05:46 <PinkieShy> This game world i just did part of.. This is very dark and creepy..
05:47 <PinkieShy> The maker of the world map split it into two parts and the first part I just went through like a portal like part of it
05:47 <PinkieShy> and there was alot of horror stories in that about so and so got hurt this and that way.. Some chasers and screammers omg.
05:48 <Schism> PinkieShy, you should play Ib.
05:48 <Schism> It's a cute little game about a girl visiting an art museum.
05:49 <Schism> (Okay, I tell a lie, it's surreal horror.)

05:58 <Finwe> There was no snow in the evening when I closed the curtains.
05:58 <Schism> We're in much the same boat. Not sure whether we'll get any snow, but it's certainly 0C.
05:59 * ConfusionRift is cooking in his home.
05:59 <ConfusionRift> As in I'm the thing that's getting cooked.
06:00 <Finwe> I take it the temperature is over 0°C then.
06:01 <ConfusionRift> This makes no sense. It's cold outside, but burning inside. The windows are open, and the fans are at full. It's still hot.
06:01 * Filly_Nightmares kneads ConfusionRift
06:08 <Finwe> Have you tried turning yourself off and on again?
06:08 <Finwe> o3o
06:10 * Ali sits on Finwe and puffycheeks
06:10 <ConfusionRift> Herherheeeeerg... huh. (tries it anyways)

06:11 <Schism> A nap does help with many woes.
06:12 <Koopz> too much exposure to Heresy does weird things to your body

06:13 <Koopz> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzwtevoz9og
06:14 <Ali> I find it sad that Nids haven't gotten a new model in over six years but the stupid blueberries get one like every three months
06:19 <Ali> And I'm talking to myself again
06:20 <Koopz> i'm not that interested into tabletop owo
06:20 <Koopz> just a fan of DoW1
06:21 <Koopz> Orkz, Orkz, Orkz, Orkz, Orkz,~
06:21 * ConfusionRift got kinda lost. "Sorryyyyy."
06:30 * ConfusionRift might jump back to Timespinner.
06:52 * Finwe boops Ali.
06:52 * Ali falls over.
06:52 <Finwe> Whence this sudden puffycheeking?
06:52 <Ali> Ehhh, probably a mood I'm going thru..
06:52 * Finwe patpathugs an Ali.
06:53 <Ali> With everything shutting down more and more, it limits my options on social activities, which used to be part of my health plan for services
06:53 <Ali> Since the virus has shot that to little itty bitty pieces, along with losing one of the two staff I usually have per week
06:53 <Ali> Contact with people has dropped drastically and is starting to take a bit of a toll on me.
06:57 <Ali> I'm also a bit worried that this PC could fall apart at any moment and there would be no way to get a new one.
07:02 * ConfusionRift finds a map for the area he's in. He had already uncovered most of the map. "Yes, useful indeed. Ahem..."
07:06 <Finwe> Ali: Online purchases would still be delivered, eeenope?
07:06 <Ali> I don't do online shopping, don't trust internet with any bank number
07:07 <Ali> And I don't easily have funds to make said purchases
07:10 <PrincessRainbows> Weird, my phone didn't notify me
07:11 * PrincessRainbows belatedly hugs Ali and brushies
07:11 * Ali scoops up PrincessRainbows and doesn't let go of her.
07:12 * PrincessRainbows is OK with this. Is also good plushie
07:15 <PrincessRainbows> Isn't it ironic that I survive kidney failure, cancer and crippling depression then just when I start to feel fine again this
07:17 <Ali> We'll get thru this somehow
07:18 <PinkieShy> ...
07:18 <PinkieShy> A friend of mine on Facebook just shared a screenshot of an ad she got
07:18 <PinkieShy> It was a Wish website ad listing Toilet paper with the text 'Holiday Discounts start now"
07:19 <PinkieShy> Why Holiday.. Plus how'd Toilet paper get listed as 'Holiday gift'
07:20 <ConfusionRift> I would suggest not to order anything from Wish. At least, till all of this is resolved.
07:21 <PrincessRainbows> Anyway I have never doubted my effective fate was to suffer so whatever
07:22 <PinkieShy> I'll never order from them.
07:22 <PinkieShy> I did check their website last year and it seems as scammy as ebay can be.
07:23 <PrincessRainbows> They are a middleman effectively anyway
07:24 <PrincessRainbows> As in they sell from individual sellers
07:25 <Ali> Great, looks like discord just took a crap on itself.
07:25 * PrincessRainbows still whimpers and curls up under Ali with her plushie and pacifier. Nini
07:31 <PrincessRainbows> Tomorrow I have to go to get lab work done and invariably some idiot will go for a covid-19 test that they explicitly say they don't do
07:31 *** Quits: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Connection closed)
07:47 * Ali flops over Schism and Finwe. "What is API in technical terms?"
07:50 <ConfusionRift> In terms of?
07:50 <ConfusionRift> Software?
07:51 <Ali> Yeah cause Discord derped their API cluster it says.
07:53 <ConfusionRift> To my understanding, API works somewhat like a framework. As in, it lays instructions and calls that other software can use to do specific tasks.
07:54 * Ali shrugs, hasn't heard of it.
07:54 <ConfusionRift> Derping those can lead to issues, some even software breaking.
07:55 <Ali> Well they derped it on Discord and shot the API's ms down to zero and then it shot up to over 1000ms
07:57 <ConfusionRift> ms... I'm gonna guess that's latency. Hmmm.
08:01 * Ali ponyshrugs and flops over ConfusionRift
08:02 <Finwe> Application Programming Interface.
08:03 <Finwe> It's a specification of how to communicate with given software.
08:05 <Finwe> or component of software, or a whole system
08:06 *** Joins: Changeling_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone)
08:06 <Finwe> So, if Discord API is derped, it should affect, if not prevent, other programs communicating with Discord.
08:07 <Finwe> Miss Changeling_Nightmares.
08:07 * Finwe doffs his hat.
08:07 * Ali doffs back over Finwe
08:07 * Changeling_Nightmares eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

08:07 <Schism> Okay, now, Ali, think of the framework of a building. Girders, struts, etc.
08:08 *** Changeling_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares
08:08 <Schism> An API is basically that. It's the framework around which a program is built. That's all you need to know. If the API becomes compromised, the whole building can collapse.
08:08 * Filly_Nightmares uses Schism as a nest
08:10 * Ali nod nods
08:11 <Schism> That's pretty much all there is to it. So yay for tech support teaching me how to speak in English.
08:11 * Schism patpats the Filly_Nightmares, offers tuna cakes!
08:12 * ConfusionRift sighs.
08:12 <Schism> The statement is also wrong in every single particular, but it is functionally valid.
08:13 <Schism> ConfusionRift, feel free to bite my face off. :P
08:14 <ConfusionRift> Nah. It's simpler and easier to understand. It's not entirely wrong. API is a form of framework, which once could say it is kinda like a building in a sense.
08:15 <ConfusionRift> Either way, something broke and Discord is gonna be a tad dysfunctional at the moment.
08:15 <Schism> Yerp.
08:15 <Schism> See? You can talk to the non-techies too.
08:16 <ConfusionRift> If it's THEIR application's API, there's nothing we can do, since it's probably an issue with the communications part.
08:17 <Schism> Short form, they're repaving their driveway.
08:17 <Schism> That's an if, tho.
08:17 <ConfusionRift> Schism: How far have you gone in Timespinner?
08:18 <Cepheid> An even simpler way to think of it more as a set of agreed-upon set of verbs, verb statements(action words, 'write,' 'read,' 'jump', 'tell me..' etc) and responses that are used between two individuals to complete some sort of specific task.
08:18 <Schism> ConfusionRift, I haven't really played much more than getting that damned pair of triangles.
08:19 <Schism> It's okay, though. I'm fine with spoilers.
08:19 <ConfusionRift> The thing is that I feel that... okay, this game feels 100% like the older Igavanias, and it's bothering me.
08:20 <Schism> Cepheid, or a pair of dictionaries which don't quite match but have enough similarities.
08:20 <ConfusionRift> Not in a bad way though.
08:20 <Schism> ConfusionRift, oh, it's kinda sorta a ripoff? In the best possible sense.
08:20 <Cepheid> I got that feeling from Timespinner as well.
08:20 <Schism> It's got its own story, its own characters, its own mechanics, but it's absolutely derivative.
08:21 <ConfusionRift> Everything. The only thing missing is the afterimage effect and the odd walking.
08:21 <Schism> And I kind of like that.
08:21 <Schism> Like, all of it. Like, okay. If you're going to rip off Iga, do it well.
08:21 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)
08:21 <ConfusionRift> Some call it the chicken walk. I just call it the slippyslide. :P
08:22 <ConfusionRift> Anyways... like other Igavanias, I feel there might be other endings, or I need something in order to do something else, or an event might have affected something else.
08:22 <Schism> It's become very, very clear that Konami won't be producing any good Metroidvanias in the future, so there are worse options than to step in and roll it a little back.
08:22 <Schism> Er. Capcom.
08:22 <Schism> Also... hm.
08:23 <Cepheid> Konami was the right one.
08:23 <Schism> Thanks.
08:23 <Schism> Which kind of reinforces that, because Konami can ... moving on.
08:24 <Schism> I'm not sure if there's anything like the 'everything dies' ending from Aria of Sorrow.
08:24 <Schism> We'll /probably/ be given more hints than in most of those games.
08:25 <ConfusionRift> Their main man left, and did the Bloodstained series. Which is not bad, but doesn't quite feel the same. THIS, this game feels at home.
08:25 <Schism> I knew you'd like it. :3
08:25 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/Pm28jP6.gifv
08:26 <Schism> Nice sl--what.
08:26 <ConfusionRift> I do... but I'm deviating again. There's an event that feels like maybe, just maybe, I could have done in some other way or needed something else. Don't know. It just feels the such.
08:26 <Cepheid> Thinking I should play through Timespinner again. Or the Metroidvania CV games.
08:28 <ConfusionRift> I haven't saved since that event, and feel uneasy to do so... bah, bite the bullet. (goes to save) Wait... let me try that again.
08:29 <ConfusionRift> And Schism... not sure if it's me and the constant exploring, but I haven't fallen yet.
08:29 <Schism> Cepheid, you could always play on Nightmare mode if you've already beaten Timespinner. It turns into a game of 68 damage per hit.
08:29 <Schism> ConfusionRift, darnit. I got the dragon familiar after dying. It's either that, or story, which unlocks it.
08:29 <ConfusionRift> Maaaaan, just trying to take it easy here. :P
08:30 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
08:30 <ConfusionRift> Currently lv. 36.
08:32 * Schism blinks.
08:32 <Schism> I was clearly grinding in entirely the wrong places for entirely too long.
08:32 <Cepheid> There is a branching point, but if my memory serves me correctly, it is handled better than most Igavanias. Once you make a decision, you cannot save after that point, with one exception.
08:33 <Schism> Plus, NG+.
08:33 <Cepheid> And even then, due to the nature of the game, you should still be able to see the other branches.
08:34 <Cepheid> I'll be honest, I was extremely hesitant to mention this until you said you hadn't saved since a certain event.
08:35 <ConfusionRift> I just redid the fight, and there was nothing else I could do. So... saving.
08:37 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: "Portal mouth" should be a good hint.
08:38 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/nlxujl26neq41
08:38 <Cepheid> Yes, I remember that. I don't think you are at the branch point yet.
08:39 <ConfusionRift> Ah, okay.
08:39 <Cepheid> It's been over a year, so I don't remember exact details.
08:40 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Also remember the old rule of Igavania games. If a wall looks breakable, check. They hit powerups in those.
08:40 <ConfusionRift> *hid, not hit
08:41 <Cepheid> And floors!
08:41 <ConfusionRift> Those too.
08:41 <Cepheid> And ceilings!
08:41 <Cepheid> And intradimensional rifts!
08:41 <Cepheid> ... And inside your sock drawer!
08:42 * ConfusionRift nods. "The Scythe ring helps because it damages things it comes in contact, so you can sometimes catch a wall, floor, or ceiling breaking."
08:43 * ConfusionRift checks his drawer. "I'll be darn! A health power-up."
08:45 <Schism> Scythe ring is best ring, yes.
08:45 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, supply chests close up again, so you can pick up the same items again. But only those chests.
08:46 <Schism> They have rare drops.
08:46 <Schism> So, I mean, have fun hitting the same antidote chest a hundred times.
08:51 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, what's the chaos effect?
08:52 <Schism> I have absolutely no idea.
08:52 <Schism> Anyway, gotta rest for a little, so be back soon.
08:57 <Cepheid> I need to get back to sleep myself.
09:13 <ConfusionRift> Oh, figured what chaos did. Similar to how the old curse status absorbed your MP, the chaos status absorbs the sands of time.

11:00 <Finwe> We have to accept that sense is not always made.
11:02 <ConfusionRift> I get it, just that... oh, that's what that was. A hard (maybe impossible) to kill reptile of sorts.
11:02 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, I'm not very familiar with SCP, especially when there are so many contained.
11:03 <Cepheid> Impossible, yes. As far as lore is concerned.
11:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #1891 [ http://tinyurl.com/qw6vugh ]
11:06 <Cepheid> Basically, it, along with 173, and a few others, are considered their logos/icons/etc, that they'll never be "killed off" so to speak.
11:06 <ConfusionRift> They have to keep it in acid at all times so it's constantly recovering and slowed down, and yet it has escaped multiple times.
11:06 <ConfusionRift> They tried. :P
11:06 <Cepheid> Oh, they tried.
11:07 <Cepheid> They got an entire log of different attempts.
11:07 <Cepheid> Some ranging from the obtuse, to the insane, to the completely impractical.
11:11 <ConfusionRift> hehehe.
11:12 <Cepheid> Blah. No coding today.
11:13 <ConfusionRift> "We ask you if it's possible to... talk to it, in some way. Maybe we can get a sense of what it thinks and wants." | Yeeaaaah, noooo. I'm not talking to that thing. No way no how.
11:17 <Cepheid> Today's setup is straightforward. Take desk keyboard tray downstairs, laptop, mouse on it, rest it upon arms of chair. Play DOOM 1993.
11:18 <Lumindia> the classic
11:18 <Lumindia> always a fun time
11:19 <Cepheid> Also one of the few games my laptop can play.
11:20 <Cepheid> But more the point, I'm playing it because I'm also currently playing DOOM 2016, but I can't play that unless my mother's home and watching. She wants to see the story and the gameplay.
11:20 <Cepheid> Much as the violence turns her stomach a bit, she treats me playing games like that as watching a movie or TV show.
11:21 <Cepheid> Point is, I can't play any more DOOM 2016 right now, so play the original.
11:21 *** Quits: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone) (Connection closed)
11:21 <Cepheid> At least, once I get gzdoom built and set up.
11:23 <Cepheid> I've developed a new problem.
11:23 <Cepheid> See, being inside all the time is the norm for me. So when the governments, doctors and the like say "stay indoors" all I hear is "blah blah blah" quite literally.
11:23 <Cepheid> So when there are occasions where my parents go out, I momentarily forget, I'm not supposed to go out
11:23 <Cepheid> Especially me, given my health.
11:24 <Cepheid> I've had the flu before, it threw me for so much of a loop I don't even know where to begin describing it. Given that COVID-19 is worse, I can't imagine what it'd do to me.
11:26 <Cepheid> Okay, TD, could ye like, not charge account fees during a pandemic when people are being told to stay home?
11:26 <Cepheid> I'm $30 in the hole now.
11:27 <ADragonDreaming> who does TD refer to?
11:27 <Finwe> Toronto-Dominion Bank?
11:28 <Finwe> Sounds like the most likely TD to offer bank accounts in Canada.
11:28 <Finwe> This is just an academic guess, though.
11:30 <ADragonDreaming> It took me a minute to remember I'm Adra on this channel - I started out my online things by being TormentedDragon (I was like 14), AKA TD
11:30 <Finwe> :3
11:31 * Finwe patpats ADragonDreaming.
11:32 <Finwe> No doubt you have been lenient enough not to raise fees on the bank accounts offered by you.
11:33 <Cepheid> TD bank, yeah.
11:37 * Cepheid sets gzdoom up to use strict doom settings, software-like but high-resolution renderer, sets up standard FPS controls.
11:52 <Cepheid> I remember when I used to find this game difficult. That was back in my younger days when I was 11 years old, and didn't know of the concept of using a mouse and keyboard for controls.

12:12 <Cepheid> Hum, which version of DOOM is the GOG version anyways..? *Looks at the infamous map*
12:15 <Cepheid> 1.9 ultimate doom, it seems.
12:15 <Cepheid> Like, the original 1.9 Ultimate DOOM version.
12:16 <Cepheid> Not the re-released versions from various Bethesda source ports to consoles.
12:20 <Cepheid> Ah, good ole' hitscan.
12:33 <ADragonDreaming> the infamous map?
12:38 <Cepheid> E1M4 had a reputation because it had a hidden swastika in it.
12:40 * Cepheid makes it to Phobos Anomaly.
12:42 <Cepheid> And with that, episode 1 done.
12:45 <ADragonDreaming> ah
12:45 <ADragonDreaming> are they sure it wasn't a hidden mandala?
12:45 * ConfusionRift flops to sleep.
12:45 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-kio.irn.56.193.IP) (Quit: Recharging the batteries. Laters! *shutdown*)
12:48 <Cepheid> Apparently it was an actual swastika, meant as a homage to Wolfenstein 3D.
12:48 <Cepheid> As of version 1.4, it was removed.
12:48 <ADragonDreaming> ah
12:49 <Cepheid> It was removed due to an objection by a WW2 veteran.
12:49 <Cepheid> https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Easter_egg#Swastika References, for the record.
12:52 * Cepheid makes the Zombie/Shotgun Zombie sound around Lumindia.
12:57 <Lumindia> *punches*
13:07 * Cepheid explodes into a pile of gore.
13:08 * Finwe deems Lumindia's tail suitable to be nommed on.
13:10 <Cepheid> Hum.
13:10 <Cepheid> There's a PC mouse out there causing a bit of discussion in the Linux community, because the danged thing doesn't follow the HID spec.
13:13 * Cepheid picks up Finwe and reloads him.
13:43 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-mlc3gf.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
14:12 <Cepheid> So apparently 3M was told to stop exporting US-made respirators to Canada. Burning bridges.
14:16 * Lumindia gets hair in Finwe's mouth
14:17 <Schism> So many bridges.
14:17 <Schism> Evidently the Federal medical reserve is 'not for the states'.
14:19 <Schism> The obvious question, 'then for whom', did not evidently appear to pass Stephen Miller's mind.
14:19 <Cepheid> It's obviously for the people in the Federal Government.
14:19 <Schism> Oh wait, no, not Stephen Miller, but Jared Kushner. (they just look so similar...)
14:28 <ADragonDreaming> So I've been playing Regrowth again.
14:31 <ADragonDreaming> I remember trying to figure out how to do the massively complicated vat process for titanium, because, you know, recipe lookup seemed to indicate that titanium could only be processed in the Mariculture Vat.
14:31 <ADragonDreaming> But no. The Tinker's Smeltery will do the thing without complaint.

15:26 <Cepheid> There is no priest(ess) dead or alive on this planet, that, should I die of contracting COVID-19 because of stupidity, that will be able to stop me from haunting the asshole responsible for the rest of their life. And in the afterlife beyond. And past the heat death of the universe and beyond.
15:32 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/8X0SOUhRanY while I don't have the spotlights, I do have lightbulbs that would have let me join in this.
15:32 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
15:32 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Amsterdam Quarantine Balcony Rave
15:41 <Cepheid> Update to earlier 3M story. They are refusing to listen to the government regarding stopping export of respirators to Latin America and Canada.
15:42 <Cepheid> They argue that doing so would impair medical service effectiveness, and result in retaliation from affected countries, thus overall reducing the total number of respirators available to the US.
15:51 <Cepheid> Also, apparently the diverting stories from yesterday have been debunked.
15:54 <Finwe> Good evening, my perissodactyls of minute stature.
15:54 <Cepheid> Hey Finwe.

16:06 <Cepheid> Other good news. I can wear headphones again. Not having the usual problems with them.
16:08 <Finwe> Cepheid: Yup, the masks and the virus have been added to the statue, as well as the banners.
16:08 <Finwe> The other side says, "Stay safe".
16:08 <Cepheid> Heh.
16:09 <Cepheid> I wonder what the pollution map for Ottawa looks like right now.
16:13 <Finwe> Good air quality everywhere.
16:14 <Cepheid> Makes me wonder if it will have/is having any impact on my health.
16:15 <Finwe> I don't know how the index is calculated, but lower is better, Ottawa measurement station reports 13, Ottawa Downtown 24, and both stations in Gatineau 19.
16:17 <Finwe> Compared to Quebéc Royn-Noranda secteur du centre-ville 137.
16:17 <Finwe> Described as "unhealthy for sensitive groups".
16:18 <Finwe> Might be erroneous measurement, all the surrounding stations report good air quality.
16:18 <Cepheid> Any indications of what Ottawa was like a few months ago?
16:19 <Finwe> Cepheid: https://aqicn.org/city/ottawa/
16:19 <Cepheid> Ah. Thanks.
16:21 <Finwe> Since the beginning of February, the pollution level seems to have gone down by around 75%.
16:21 <Finwe> Or more.
16:24 <Cepheid> Mmm. Yeah. Looks like it has decreased a bit.

22:24 <Amrauz> I just remember your guys names and not much else so sorry about that xD
22:24 <PinkieShy> I believe this good honestly.. Walmart here when i went there Tuesday it was busy.. Had to have about 20 people in it..
22:24 <Amrauz> Yeah it is good
22:24 <PinkieShy> and everybody wasn't doing the social distancing rule.. Which made me very wary >_>

22:30 <Amrauz> That's not much
22:30 <Amrauz> 11,000 here state wide... dunno what the count is for this county but it'll be high I know that
22:31 <Amrauz> You're probably being impacted more by supply chains?
22:31 <Amrauz> supply chain interruptions?
22:32 <Amrauz> about 500 cases in my county.
