00:09 <PinkieShy> I must be a little Derpy today..
00:09 <PinkieShy> I saw a picture of a mirror on a selling website with a design on it..
00:09 <PinkieShy> At first glance i thought it was a photo of Mario 64...
00:22 <Ali> Least you didn't half fall down the stairs
00:23 *** Joins: Fn (Eogan@Pony-r8qsm2.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
00:23 <Ali> Oy I'm starting to feel it too
00:23 <Ali> Bleh, only 75% of the game installed
00:25 <Schism> Just raided several servers' marketboards for cheap materials. :<
00:25 *** Quits: FruitNibbler (Eogan@Pony-f7654s.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
00:33 <Schism> So, Cepheid. How did you like that series of quests? o3o
00:33 * Schism also hugs the Ali.
00:33 <Cepheid> *Psyduck*
00:34 <Schism> Aha. That good, huh.
00:34 <Schism> I kinda went over to other servers in our datacenter and raided them for houses. Which I then disassembled.
00:38 <Ali> 10% to go
00:47 <Ali> Also Schism god winter is boring in Stardew
00:48 <Ali> Why do they have to make winter so bland in that type of game
00:48 <Schism> So that you go mining and fishing more?
00:48 <Ali> Well Skull cavern is a nope
00:49 <Ali> That place is like death the moment you step into it
00:49 <Ali> Ok finally game is installed
00:50 <Schism> Yay! Now for chargen.
00:50 <Ali> Chargen?
00:50 <Ali> Oh Character Gen
00:50 <Ali> What's the server again?
00:50 <Schism> Coeurl, on the Crystal data center.
00:51 <Schism> You'll kinda be blocked off of a few things as a free trial, but I can still help you out.
00:51 <Ali> It only allowed me to choose Crystal for now
00:52 <Schism> Huh.
00:52 <Schism> Well, that works at least.
00:53 <Schism> So, classes. You've got Gladiator and Marauder as your tanks, Conjurer as your healer, and everything else is DPS.
00:53 *** Quits: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP) (Quit: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/mircea/)
00:53 <Schism> If'n you want to set things on fire, go with Thaumaturge. o3o
00:56 <Ali> Do any of the races matter?
00:57 <Ali> I don't see any bonuses or defects to any of them
00:57 <Schism> Not as such, no. You can just pick whichever one suits your preference.
00:57 <Schism> They used to matter a bit more, but not as much now. Though you might want to pick a name which fits.
00:58 <Schism> For example, for the salty pirate class, you might want a name like Colytyrhyrn Bryvnavryh.
00:58 <Schism> Er, s/class/race.
00:59 <Schism> That's not an exaggeration. The leader of one of the factions is named Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn.
01:00 <Schism> (It's pronounced 'Meryl Blossom'.)
01:01 *** Joins: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP)
01:03 * Cepheid applies Doomguy to FF14.
01:03 <Ali> Do uh dieties change anything?
01:04 <Schism> Nah.
01:05 <Schism> You can pick whichever one fits your character.
01:05 <Ali> How bad are healers to solo?
01:05 <Schism> They give +1 to some stats, but by endgame, you're looking at thousands of stat points anyway. Also, healers are the BEST soloers.
01:05 <Ali> WITHOUT dungeons :P
01:06 <Schism> No, seriously. And you can't play without dungeons, but dungeons are pretty alright.
01:06 <Schism> In solo play, healers have the most survivability.
01:06 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: My Little Pony Speedpaint Compilation #131 [ http://tinyurl.com/y98fnozs ]
01:06 <Ali> And the healer class is what again?
01:06 <Schism> Just, period, bar none. Healer class is CNJ/Conjurer.
01:07 <Schism> You might want to do DPS as a mainclass and CNJ as a secondary.
01:07 <Ali> Coeurl right?
01:07 <Schism> Yupyup. The cat server.
01:07 <Schism> Once you hit level 15, you'll get the option to pick up other classes anyway.
01:08 <Ali> Ok, I have a first name, but the forename not so much.
01:08 <Ali> Err
01:08 <Ali> Got that backwards
01:08 <Schism> Heh, what's the surname?
01:09 <Cepheid> Can confirm. Healers are the best. We decide who lives and who dies. But mostly we watch people Leeroy Jenkins it and then stand in the fire.
01:09 <Ali> No I got it backwards Schism I have the forename, but not a surname
01:09 <Schism> Then what's the forename? o3o
01:09 <Ali> Its the name of my Glaceon character I RP with, Alicia
01:09 <Schism> Also, you can roll the dice and get a perfectly reasonable character name.
01:09 <Ali> But I don't have a good surname
01:10 <Schism> Hm, what race?
01:10 <Ali> Cat of course :P
01:10 <Schism> Oh! Then you'd probably want something like K'ali Alicia.
01:10 <Ali> Also love that there's a 'bust' slider
01:10 <Schism> It is an MMO.
01:10 <Ali> Uhhh is that backwards
01:10 <Ali> It has little effect from what I see
01:11 <Ali> The difference from min/max is like
01:11 <Ali> 20%
01:11 <Schism> No, Mi'qote names tend to be tribe (letter'set) followed by given name.
01:11 <Schism> Yeah, it's a small effect.
01:11 <Ali> So the Forname isn't the characters name?
01:11 * Ali is very confuzzed as most of the time she's not used to a character with a first and last name
01:12 <Schism> Right, so you might want, say, S'Vari Alicia.
01:12 <Ali> Still confused Schism
01:12 <Schism> It's not a big deal, and it depends on which tribe you're playing as. Also, it's just for fun and RP.
01:12 <Ali> No I don't understand
01:12 <Schism> I mean, mine is Creh T'chiolu, but my cat is a weirdo anyway.
01:12 <Ali> the whole Forename Surname bit
01:12 <Schism> Oh, okay. So there are cat tribes.
01:13 <Schism> The M tribe, the C tribe, etcetera.
01:13 <Ali> And what does that have to do with naming a character
01:13 <Schism> Nothing really unless you're really focused on RP.
01:14 <Ali> BUt you HAVE to have both
01:14 <Ali> Which makes me more confused
01:14 <Schism> Well, you can just make the first name Q'Ali and the last name Alisha. Or something.
01:14 <Ali> But I want Alicia to be the first name
01:15 <Ali> But I don't know what would go with it
01:15 <Schism> Or you can just completely ignore it and be a Mi'qote of the moon and be Alisha Somebody. X3
01:15 * Ali puffycheeks at Schism
01:16 <Schism> 'Somebody' would be a fine last name, but I suppose I could come up with something.
01:16 <Ali> Look I'm so unsure of things here
01:16 <Ali> And I'm TERRIBLE when it comes to naming a character
01:16 <Ali> And now I'm forced to come up with a last name
01:17 * Ali flops, doesn't want to muck it up and get reported or poked fun at.
01:17 <Schism> Okay, okay. Alisha Gray.
01:17 <Ali> Why do you keep getting the name wrong?
01:17 <Ali> Its Alicia, not Alisha
01:17 <Schism> You'll be fine, no matter what, but... what?! That's a fine name.
01:18 <Schism> Alicia Gray, though?
01:18 <Ali> I don't know Schism..
01:18 <Ali> I mean I had one idea, another nod to Glaceon but I'm worried it might be taken the wrong way
01:18 * Ali was thinking of Frostpaw, but sounds too native american and is sure it will tick someone off..
01:19 <Schism> You know you're naming a character on an MMO. There are way too many people there with variants on "Cloud Strife".
01:19 <PinkieShy> The other day I learned the Safety razor I bought last year might not last forever..
01:19 <Schism> Doesn't matter what you pick, people aren't gonna give you grief.
01:19 <PinkieShy> Being its Zinc Alloy that is chrome plated
01:20 <PinkieShy> I guess if i want one that will last years.. I need to invest into a Pure Stainless Steel razor that is not zinc alloy at all
01:21 <Schism> Ali: There is also a set of clothing which drew a lot of very bad attention when it came out.
01:21 <Schism> Nobody wears it unless they break it up with something else.
01:21 <PinkieShy> I remember when i was in school senior year.. There was a group of people making shirts that got banned fast..
01:22 <Schism> Alisha Frostpaw sounds like a fine character name in any event.
01:22 <PinkieShy> Like Schools didn't want people wearing them at all to the point they made a notice that if you are caught with it, you'd be arrested..
01:22 <Schism> Alicia*
01:22 <Cepheid> I am so out of it that after micronapping, I awaken to the hallucination of a spider crawling out of my tablet
01:22 <Lumindia> o wo
01:22 <Ali> The world is currently full
01:22 <Lumindia> o.o
01:22 * Lumindia peeeeeers at Ali
01:22 <Schism> That's all right. The queue pops very, very quickly, Ali.
01:22 <Lumindia> what seerrvveerr
01:22 <Schism> Lumindia: Coeurl, on Crystal. o3o
01:22 <Lumindia> HECK
01:23 <Ali> Sounds like the wrong one for Lumindia
01:23 <Cepheid> The good one
01:23 <Lumindia> Middy on Aether
01:23 * Ali baps Lumindia with planterra
01:23 * Lumindia boops with golem fist
01:23 <Schism> Since Ali is doing WHM, I shall boop over to Gridania.
01:24 <Lumindia> o wo
01:25 <Lumindia> Sylphie is a heck
01:25 * PinkieShy jumps up and down and starts to eeee really loud (loud enough to shatter glass)
01:25 <PinkieShy> I just got million bells saved up in new leaf :D
01:25 <PinkieShy> Yusss :D
01:25 <Schism> Lumindia: I just spent a fair amount of dosh on desynthing houses. ... it was profitable.
01:26 <Schism> Turns out that desynthing a Hingan rooftop will give you 10 molybdenum ingots.
01:29 <Schism> Or a lot of lumber, or some titanium ingots, etc. etc.
01:35 * Schism imagines Ali is singing with the moogles right now.
01:35 <PinkieShy> There that is now gone..
01:35 <Ali> No, just got control of the character for the first time Schism
01:36 <Schism> Ah, now to murder some Ixal.
01:36 <PinkieShy> Some $1 blades i bought from Dollar General a month ago that was like awful.. >_> They pulled the hairs more than cutting it
01:36 <PinkieShy> Just moved all the blades to the disposal side and tossed it after duct taping the packaging up so they can't come back out
01:43 <Ali> No we just rode away Schism
01:44 <Schism> Ah right.
01:45 <Schism> Been a while since I saw the introductory tour.
01:47 <Schism> FYI, there's some jerk named "Really Lewd" near the dropoff point. There's always a troll...
01:49 <Schism> Ah, they're gone now.
01:53 * Schism headtilts at the Ali.
01:53 * Ali headtilts at the Schism
01:53 <Schism> Any issues with the ride into town?
01:54 <Ali> I'm in town, just doing the intro quests but I dunt know where the shops are.
01:54 <Schism> I must've missed you. What's your charname again?
01:54 <Ali> Alicia Frostpaw
01:55 <Ali> Was that you that whispered?
01:56 <Schism> Yup! Creh T'chiolu.
01:57 <Ali> I'm hitting that /r but its not bringing anything up
01:57 <Schism> It's /r [message]/
01:57 <Schism> .
01:57 <Ali> Oh its not available on free trail
01:58 <Ali> Can't join party either
01:58 <Schism> Erp.
01:58 <Schism> That's odd...
01:58 <Schism> Well, I'm at the main crystal.
01:59 <Ali> Now it worked, could've been cause in convo

08:35 <Ali> I have more healing spells than damage spells~
08:35 <Ali> Oddly aganist those elites, you will OOM
08:47 <Ali> Just know that I'm just doing 14 to help pass the time and get a feel of it. Not sure if I will even commit to it.
08:49 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
08:53 <Ali> If you read the long winded thing yesterday I'm frankly scared by MMOs
08:54 <Golden> Hm
09:01 <Cepheid> From this day on, saturday and sunday, I don't take any vyvanse so I can relax and play games. To make them actual weekends for me.
09:04 * Cepheid checks the news.
09:05 <Ali> Hint its all about covid 19

09:13 <Ali> And I want to bap you for making me buy stuff that the game gives me
09:13 <Schism> I really am sorry about that, I'd completely forgotten what those earlier levels provide.
09:14 <Ali> Drop in the bucket money wise
09:14 <Ali> But a bit of a waste
09:14 <Ali> I have the Trail of wind but I can't find a way into East whatever
09:14 <Schism> East Shroud? Hmm.
09:14 <Cepheid> Dangit dad, stop sleeping with your window open.
09:15 <Schism> You can either get there from Central Shroud, or you can take a boat there from Old Gridania.
09:16 <Ali> Well I can't really play right now. headset is on charge and that will cause problems
09:17 <Ali> Without my headset, I don't have noise canceling
09:17 <Ali> And since my PC is no longer on power saver mode
09:17 <Ali> Its fans get /real/ loud
09:18 * Schism nodnods.
09:18 * Finwe nomnoms on Ali's tail.
09:19 <Schism> WHM does eventually get some additional damaging spells, but by and large, you really are looking at Stone and Aero as your givens.
09:20 <Schism> Repose will be your friend, too.
09:20 <Ali> Yeah I got a mention about changing jobs but eh, didn't read
09:20 <Ali> Sleep? I'm still pulling one mob at a time it seems
09:20 <Schism> Mmm. Yup, since you're level 10, you can now check out the other classes!
09:21 <Ali> I'd have no gear of them!
09:21 <Schism> You've still got the Mi'qote starter gear in your armoury chest. :S And they get gear just like WHM does! But true.
09:25 <Schism> In any event. Once you hit level 15, Ali, you're in for a real treat.
09:26 *** Joins: Fn (Eogan@Pony-r8qsm2.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
09:26 <Schism> Oh right, and you should also have your Hunting Log unlocked now.
09:26 <Ali> More than the treat of tripping on crystals
09:27 * Cepheid orders a new mouse.
09:27 <Cepheid> Found a more reasonably priced one with the same set of features I wanted.
09:28 <Schism> Features like not tilting the scroll wheel, I take it.
09:29 <Ali> Or JOYCON DRIFT~
09:29 <Cepheid> Well, that, and 12 buttons on the side for my thumb.
09:29 * Ali drifts by Schism and Cepheid
09:30 <Ali> Do you really need that many buttons?
09:30 <Cepheid> Honestly, I'd prefer joycon drift over what my current mouse has with it's wheel.
09:30 <Cepheid> Yes.
09:30 <Cepheid> My current mouse, it's wheel, is essentially 3 buttons in one. 5 if you include scrolling up and down.
09:31 <Cepheid> You can tilt the wheel off to the left and right for two buttons, then there's the scroll up and scroll down, and then you can PRESS the button.
09:31 <Cepheid> Only that last one isn't reliable.
09:31 <Cepheid> It often triggers one of the tilt buttons.
09:31 <Ali> I never did like center mouse clicking
09:32 <Cepheid> This causes more trouble than it sounds like it should, because it's not an issue with just games, but with the OS.
09:32 <Cepheid> The two relevant buttons are assigned to "forward" and "back" in the OS.
09:33 <Cepheid> And strange oddities happen if you press the middle mouse button in a game when you're using the default OS setup.
09:33 <Cepheid> I've had cases where the game suddenly switches to a browser when I try to use the middle button for something.
09:34 <Cepheid> This actually happened a lot in DOOM. I had to disable the buttons explicitly in order to use the middle mouse button.
09:34 <Cepheid> That said, disabling them via the OS isn't exactly possible. I needed to use Logitech's setpoint software.
09:35 *** Joins: Tirek (Tirek@Pony-74gguf.hzl2.ptd.net)
09:35 <Cepheid> ...
09:35 <Cepheid> Lodestone, you on drugs?
09:36 <Cepheid> It's saying that I'm using a browser that's not recommended to view it.
09:36 <Ali> No, I did that earlier when I did a MSQ
09:36 <Ali> was tripping on crystal
09:36 <Schism> Hear, feel, think.
09:37 <Cepheid> But yeah, I suspect this is one of the earlier designs for mice that uses the extra two buttons in the middle spot.
09:38 <Cepheid> I'm hoping the new mouse fares better. It's like the Razer Naga, only less expensive. About a third of the price in fact.
09:38 <Cepheid> Has 12 thumb buttons on the left-hand side, which I can assign to all sorts of skills. o3o
09:41 * Cepheid spends some time reading patch notes as he drinks coffee.
09:41 <Cepheid> Also waiting for mother to wake up, as she's going to be getting up soon and taking her shower. Want to wait until after she's done before I take my shower.
09:41 * Cepheid has been trying to redevelop some old habits in light of not going to school, working, and COVID-19.
09:43 <Cepheid> Hum. Shadowbringers seems to focus around the Syrcus Tower?
09:44 <Schism> That's where it kicks off.
09:45 <Cepheid> Schism, was it ever explained why Blue Mage is a "limited job" with restrictions?
09:45 <Schism> Outside of the fact that it's completely unbalanced, nope.
09:46 <Cepheid> So, basically a "just have fun" class.
09:48 <Ali> Also Kopo, they're butt ugly Kopo
09:48 <Cepheid> Kupo*
09:49 <Ali> Whatever :P
09:49 <Ali> Still butt ugly
09:50 <Schism> Moogles are really weird, and their nature in the story is never fully explained.
09:50 <Ali> And their model is just...ugh
09:51 <Cepheid> Right, so it looks like I literally stopped playing *JUST* as 4.1 came out.
09:51 <Cepheid> Because I've started doing the MSQ that was introduced in 4.1
09:51 <Cepheid> Schism: As a whole in the series, their nature has never been explained.
09:51 <Cepheid> They seem to be a literal joke that allows them to put other jokes into the series.
09:52 <Cepheid> Like the moogle suit from FF5. Which lets you seduce a moogle to get the dancing dagger.
09:52 <Schism> At one point, Mog and his dancing are mentioned. But yeah.
09:53 * Schism grins, and the sunlight reflects off his teeth. *glint*
09:53 * Cepheid hands Schism one of Nashu's bombs.
09:53 * Schism looks at it. It appears to be a stick of dango.
09:54 * Cepheid looks at bedroom.
09:54 <Cepheid> Ye know, while I wait to take my shower...
09:55 * Cepheid goes to clean.
09:55 <Schism> Lessee, 4.1, 4.1... ah, yes, you get some interesting MSQ stuff, and the first part of the Ivalice raids.
09:55 <Ali> Bleh raids
09:56 <Schism> Ali: Eh, they're not really raids in the classical WoW sense, more like a chain of bosses with a 24-man party.
09:57 <Ali> Which is a raid
09:57 <Ali> Or dungeon or whatever
09:57 <Ali> Its always a chain of bosses
09:57 <Schism> Oh, fine. But they are comparatively straightforward at least.
09:58 <Ali> Bleh, I hate having to charge my headset when I really need it on
09:59 <Ali> But the dorks send with it a one foot charging cord
09:59 <Schism> That's not a cord, that's a string.
09:59 <Lumindia> because they expect you to not use it while ch arging
09:59 <Ali> Like you can't even wear the things while its charging its so short
09:59 <Ali> Well I can't help it I have stupid sensitive ears T.T
09:59 <Lumindia> if you wanted a longer cord to use it while it's charging, just get a wired headset
09:59 <Ali> You can't anymore
10:00 <Ali> Both the Bose QC35 and 700 are wireless in a sense
10:00 <Ali> They both have rechargable battieries instead of needing AAAs
10:00 <Ali> The problem with this is that when they die now, I can't just instantly stick a new battery in
10:01 <Schism> I picked up a wired pair of Razor earphones. Not the world's greatest, but not bad either.
10:01 <Ali> And what's dumb is to unlock all the features of the headset
10:01 <Lumindia> https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Kraken-Ultralight-Gaming-Headset/dp/B07RMC5BRL
10:01 <Ali> I need the bose app
10:01 <Ali> Which CANNOT be installed on a PC
10:01 <Lumindia> Oh look, a wired headset
10:01 <Schism> Er, heh. Razer. And yes, Cepheid, those are more or less the exact earphones.
10:02 <Ali> Lumindia, I /need/ noise canceling
10:02 <Ali> Do you know how bad it feels when just running water makes you cringe in pain...
10:07 <Lumindia> Ever consider getting a second battery pack so you can swap them in and out when one dies and charge the other>?
10:07 <Lumindia> or is that not how it works?
10:09 <Cepheid> Most headsets don't support replacable battery packs.
10:09 <Cepheid> Nowadays, most electronics are not designed to have replaceable batteries.
10:09 <Cepheid> Even easily replaceable ones.
10:10 <Cepheid> And in some cases, the hardware will detect if anything in the unit has changed, including the battery, and fail to function as a result. *COUGH* APPLE *COUGH*
10:10 <Ali> Cepheid, or they'll just turn your device into a brick or slow it down to 1% of its original speed
10:11 * Ali stares at her ipad 2
10:12 <Ali> Just don't have money, and never will, to just throw away at apple for a phone to run an app that shouldn't need a phone for an app
10:13 <Lumindia> wait you need a PHONE app to use the features of a PC HEADSET?
10:13 <Cepheid> You shouldn't need the app, Ali.
10:13 <Cepheid> They probably provide the app for other reasons.
10:13 <Cepheid> It should, in theory, just work with your tablet via the audio cable.
10:13 <Cepheid> Now that I think about it..
10:14 <Ali> Cepheid, the tablet is incompatable with the app
10:14 <Ali> And everytime you power the damn device on
10:14 <Cepheid> The reason for the app is probably later Apple devices, which remove the AUX audio output.
10:14 <Ali> PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE BOSE MUSIC APP
10:14 <Cepheid> So you can't directly connect headsets to them.
10:14 <Lumindia> ...
10:14 <Ali> And I don't use the Ipad 2 AT ALL
10:14 <Ali> Since its well
10:14 <Ali> Bricked by apple standards
10:15 <Ali> I use it as a noise cancelling headset
10:15 * Cepheid does some crafting. He takes an empty box, an old duvet cover, and some wide scotch tape.
10:15 <Ali> But most of the 'features' are lockded behind the app
10:15 <Ali> But its only compatable with apple or google devices
10:15 * Cepheid holds his hands in the air and a crystal starts rotating around in front of him. He doesn't touch the materials at all.
10:15 * Cepheid watches as spontaneously, the materials turn into a home-made foot stool.
10:15 <Ali> *zelda item get plays*
10:17 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/7MZ44WItS6w?t=349
10:17 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
10:17 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about FFXI Crafting Basic Info
10:18 * Cepheid finishes cleaning with making bed.
10:18 <Ali> I'm a bit scared about the crafting system
10:18 <Ali> But again, I don't know much about the game at all
10:19 * Ali pokes headset with a stick. "Too bad you need the bose app to turn on the battery life function command."
10:19 <Ali> Supposedly you can double tap on the touch pad to get battery info
10:20 <Ali> But since its not connected, all it does is beep at me
10:20 <Schism> The crafting system is... pretty straightforward. You'd want to unlock access to the other two main cities before you get started on that, though.
10:20 <Schism> Crafting is _much_ less RNG-dependent than it was before, too.
10:20 <Ali> Don't need 500 items for a 10% chance of skilling up?
10:21 <Cepheid> Thinking it's time I got rid of this chair of mine, and just switched to using my couch as my desk chair. When I want to get up close, I just pull the couch up.
10:21 <Schism> Heavens no, though crafting the items in your logbook is the best way to level.
10:21 <Ali> I use a recliner as my PC chair
10:21 <Ali> A bit loud and squeaky at times
10:21 <Ali> But much more tushy friendly than a standard PC chair
10:23 <Ali> Anyways, its 6:30am and I should sleeps

10:25 <Cepheid> Can't keep the tray in it's holder, still, but yes, this works better. It's definitely comfier than the chair.
10:27 <Cepheid> Move old footstool out of the way(It was a subwoofer that broke down, so I cut it up and turned it into a what was supposed to be temporary footstool.)
10:28 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I need to clean off my monitor, it seems.
10:32 * Cepheid checks mogstation for any new cosmetic items he might want.
10:35 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/ix2j8mw.png
10:35 <Lumindia> my current RDM glam with a mogstation item
10:35 <Cepheid> Hey Dracula.
10:35 <Lumindia> boi
10:35 <Lumindia> I mean you're not wrong on that front, it's called the 'Vampire Vest'
10:36 <Lumindia> I wanted to wear a tiny cape on my RDM
10:38 * Cepheid looks at item. Looks at price. Begins vibrating as debate roils inside, but it's a debate he loses rapidly.
10:39 <Schism> Let me guess: fat cat?
10:40 <Cepheid> Are you a witch!?
10:40 * ConfusionRift grabs a duck.
10:40 * Schism knows Cepheid. XD
10:42 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: No no, we need a piece of wood.
10:42 * PrincessRainbows tears up and flails at ConfusionRift
10:43 <Schism> I feel fine, I think I'll go for a walk.
10:43 <Cepheid> I can't even do *THAT*. :P
10:44 <Schism> I'm just glad I have the graveyard nearby. XD
10:45 <Lumindia> Chomnk
10:50 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/xBdrVyj.jpg
10:51 <Schism> Yup, that's the fatter cat for you. Those eyes...
10:56 * ConfusionRift patpats at PrincessRainbows.
10:56 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm?
10:58 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: But you see, wood floats, and so does a duck. So, if we weigh Schism using a duck, and it's of equal weight, then in theory he should float. Therefore, a witch.
11:03 * ConfusionRift doesn't remember the skit very well.
11:06 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:08 <Cepheid> There is a player, mostly naked, dressed in a distressingly pink attire of a pink bunny head, and pink leggings and underwear. He's dancing outside of New Gridania's Crystal. It's terrifying.
11:09 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/FvPpzyy.jpg

11:14 <Schism> Heh?
11:15 <Cepheid> Editha's outfit.
11:15 <Schism> Ah, unlocking GNB?
11:16 <Cepheid> Yes.
11:16 <Schism> There are reasons.
11:17 * ConfusionRift sees the incredibly muscular bunny just prance in front of him. [>Attack | Escape] "Eeerm..."
11:18 * ConfusionRift chooses to walk away from that. 0_0;
11:19 <ConfusionRift> Had enough issues with a certain bunny in AC.

12:20 <Lumindia> quick gathering is nice
12:20 <Lumindia> that's not a roegadyn
12:20 <Lumindia> that's a hyur
12:21 <Lumindia> Roegadyn are a good deal wider than that

12:33 * Cepheid watches the French Toast his dad spontaneously made for him get up and run away waving a white flag.

12:44 <Lumindia> I have obtained the sacred relics of the porcelain throne

13:43 <Lumindia> :^)
13:52 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
14:04 <Lumindia> if anything, mine's LESS indecent, because those are just swim trunks
14:04 <Lumindia> I think...
14:13 <Cepheid> ... That... is not a baby kraken.
14:26 <Lumindia> unlocking blue mage?
14:26 <Lumindia> that kraken is smol compared to the ones we've fought in the past
14:45 <Cepheid> Yep.
14:45 * Schism beats the kraken with a taming stick.
14:45 <Cepheid> Though I do wonder about the point of blue mage if a lot of stuff is locked out to it.
14:46 <Schism> Mostly just for fun.
14:46 <Schism> Though there are achievements and so forth.
15:09 * Cepheid needs to lay down. =.=
15:12 * Cepheid checks the rating on Steam for Fallout 76. "Mostly Positive"
15:12 * Cepheid cues that "Doubt" meme.
15:12 <Lumindia> '-'
15:12 <Lumindia> I mean, it COULD have gotten better...
15:13 <Lumindia> doesn't change the fact it had a SUPER bad start
15:16 <Cepheid> I'm suspecting Steam's anti-reviewbomb is kicking in. Initially after launch, the reviews were overwhelmingly negative.
15:16 <Cepheid> Like, nearest to 0% that I've ever seen so far.

16:28 <Lumindia> it doesn't matter if a game EVENTUALLY gets good, if it has a really bad launch, that's going to taint public opinion
16:28 <Schism> As the old saying goes, a late game is only late until it's released, but a terrible game is terrible forever.
16:28 <Schism> At least in the eyes of the public.
16:28 <Cepheid> It doesn't really help that Bethesda has a bit of a reputation.
16:29 <Schism> But Cepheid, don't you know? IT JUST WORKS!
16:31 <Cepheid> Heh.
16:31 <Lumindia> A delayed game will eventually be good, but a rushed game will forever be bad
16:31 <Lumindia> Look at Doom Eternal
16:31 <Lumindia> It got delayed, and it's AMAZING
16:33 <Cepheid> That said I am under the impression that relations between Bethesda/ZeniMax and id are a bit strained. id has a bit of a reputation to uphold, so I imagine there is a bit of fighting amongst the devs and upper management.
16:40 * Schism casts 1,000 Needles.

17:27 <Nedemai> ive had some bronchial issues which I can attribute to a smoking habit... but, its been a little unusual
17:29 <Cepheid> In my case, it is something I was born with, and aggravated by pneumonia and allergies.

19:49 <Cepheid> Normal Doom has him at 4000 hit points. This one was at 20,000.
19:50 <Cepheid> And his rockets did enough damage that a direct hit was usually fatal, even with 200 health and 200 armor.
19:50 <Schism> At least you get 150 rockets.
19:51 <Cepheid> And, when he explodes, he has big guts.
