00:21 <PinkieShy> hihi

00:22 <Schism> Once you hit level 15 they give you the best gear for that level, bar none.  o3o

00:23 <Ali> Well I'm 11 Schism

00:23 * Schism nods.

00:23 <Ali> But Aero, stone stone stone stone aero

00:23 * ADragonDreaming screams in rage

00:23 <Ali> I would like another spell

00:23 <Schism> I know, it sucks to level healers early on.  :<

00:24 * Schism boops the Adra with a Great Gagras plushie.

01:15 <PinkieShy> I'm so sleepy >_>

01:16 <PinkieShy> Eating sweets isn't helping at all.. truth to be told.. I feel like they are making me like that much more sleepy :P

01:16 <PinkieShy> That's sugar though for ya i guess.

01:26 <ADragonDreaming> this quest is a frustrating one.

01:27 <ADragonDreaming> mostly because I know, I KNOW, that I weren't playing as Geralt, if I were my own hunter with my own equipment instead of this mid-tier nonsense, I could destroy this quest in under 30 minutes.

02:10 <Schism> If'n you like!  I'm not sure how active I'll be at the moment.

02:10 <Ali> Well I don't know where or how you can help.  Cause it seems like most of the stuff has to be done solo'd?

02:11 <Schism> Early on, anyway, yeah.

02:50 <Schism> Egh.  To sleep with me for now, I'm afraid.  Just for a little bit, though.

02:50 * Schism desires nap.

02:53 * PrincessRainbows licks Ali a lot and claps her hooves

05:11 <RazorSharpFang> I meant more like you're not new for long, soon you're a regular. :(

05:13 <Ali> I mean any new face that ever shows up here

05:13 <Ali> says one line

05:13 <Ali> and then leaves

05:13 <Ali> Its stupid predictable

05:13 * Ali licks RazorSharpFang

05:14 <RazorSharpFang> That's not social distancing

05:16 * PrincessRainbows also licks RazorSharpFang a lot

05:16 <Ali> It doesn't matter when its virtual distancing~

05:16 * Ali licks RazorSharpFang and PrincessRainbows

05:18 * PrincessRainbows tastes like small horse and birb

05:18 * PinkieShy licks PrincessRainbows

10:14 * ConfusionRift huggles PrincessRainbows back.

10:29 <ConfusionRift> Oh, sorry. (grabbies PrincessRainbows, and pets a little)

10:32 <Cepheid> So apparently in the original Doom, E4M3 has the most secrets to uncover, at 22.  But there is a catch.  The number is inflated because 19 of the secrets are all part of a stairway in which all the steps are tagged as secrets.

10:33 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-o527to.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)

10:51 <ConfusionRift> ...whoops.

10:55 <Cepheid> It was the first official map created by a new employee.

10:56 <ConfusionRift> At least it wasn't an employee flippin' off Romero. Then again, he kinda did that to us. :P

10:56 <Cepheid> Wait what?

10:57 <Cepheid> Oh.  The hand map?

10:58 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait, wrong John Romero game.

10:58 <ConfusionRift> It was the Daikatana ad campaign. :P

10:59 <Cepheid> Ah.

11:01 * Cepheid vibrates intensely like an oldschool Final Fantasy boss.

11:01 *** Quits: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-o527to.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Quit: Leaving.)

11:03 * ConfusionRift flops hard.

11:03 <Cepheid> I am tempted to open my dad's bedroom door quietly to let Tizzy into the room to bug him.

11:03 <Cepheid> She is currently sitting at the door meowing.

11:05 * Sleeping_Nightmares nomfs Cepheid

11:05 *** Sleeping_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

11:07 <Cepheid> I'll be honest, I picture you bug-eyed, with half of my head somehow crammed into your mouth when you do that.

11:08 <Cepheid> Not sure if it is his age, or just finally getting to understand me now, but when I sit on the couch, Spitfire flops down next to me instead of always climbing onto my lap now.

11:09 <Cepheid> Also we figured out his age.  He is 8 years old.  That means Tizzy is 10.

11:11 <Cepheid> I find it increasingly hard to believe he is 8 years old though.

11:13 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

11:15 <Cepheid> Well he seems to feel old enough to think he's the boss of me.  *laying in bed, cat standing atop him now.*

11:17 <ConfusionRift> Yep, that's a cat alright. :P

11:20 * ConfusionRift checks the market for AC Amiibo cards. "Yep, sounds about right. All is not for sale and dis-" Sees one 6 card pack for $70. "Yeah, that's definitely not happening." Sees the rating for the card. Rated: Adult. "EeeeexcuSE ME?!"

11:20 <Cepheid> Wait what?

11:21 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/b1iny093qot41.jpg

11:21 <ConfusionRift> Yep, the Walmart website is way off. :P

11:21 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/ozwrjpw14ot41.jpg Holy freakin-

11:23 <ConfusionRift> Wait huh? That... he/she is living a long life, for sure.

11:24 <ConfusionRift> 32 years, which is a REALLY long time.

11:24 <Cepheid> Apparently the confirmed oldest cats ever were 38 and 34.

11:29 * ConfusionRift goes through his random image folder, and finds the Garfield standee... he has no idea why he saved that picture... and promptly DELETES IT FROM EXISTENCE.

11:29 *** Quits: coppertiger (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

11:31 <Cepheid> Heh.

11:32 <Cepheid> You using a platter drive?

11:32 <ConfusionRift> Not anymore! (grinds it)

11:32 <Cepheid> Heh.  I was gonna say.

11:33 <ConfusionRift> Magnets do nothing. Must... REMOVE... PERMANENTLY!

11:33 <Cepheid> Deleting data on a platter drive doesn't erase it completely.  Even if the OS replaces it with zeroes.

11:34 <ConfusionRift> The "shredder" seems to work well for that. At least, makes it very difficult to recover in any conventional way.

11:35 <Cepheid> More or less.  Magnets and secure formatting work too.

11:35 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

11:36 <Cepheid> In theory, it should also suffice to erase the data, and then the data in the adjacent tracks next to where the file was, too.

11:36 <ConfusionRift> You can have Windows perform multiple format passes, and reformat the HDD.

11:38 <RazorSharpFang> Magnets

11:38 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.  Secure erase can also be done under UNIX-likes.

11:39 <Cepheid> Not sure about windows.

11:40 <ConfusionRift> Oh right... (looks at the shreds of metal) About the magnets...

11:41 * Cepheid grabs 3DS. Starts charging it. While he does so he notices something odd.

11:42 <Cepheid> Hmm?  How long has that been going on for?  Looks like the gold-colour paint has been flaking off of the bottom plate.

11:42 <ConfusionRift> Which 3DS?

11:43 <Cepheid> New 3DS XL.  Legend of Zelda model.

11:43 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, i don't think they have been going for that long hmmm. Wait a sec.

11:44 <Cepheid> It's due to the oil on my skin.  Where the paint is flaking off is exactly where my fingers and palm rest.

11:44 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that's part of normal wear with these coated products.

11:44 <ConfusionRift> That 3DS model has 8 years.

11:45 <Cepheid> The oil on my skin is particularly corrosive I find.

11:45 <Cepheid> Causes extensive bubbling in veneer on particle board products.  It eats away at the faux leather of headphone earpieces, and it can discolour cloth materials.

11:46 <ConfusionRift> Trust me, it's normal. I tend to have very sweaty hands, and have had those issues.

11:46 <ConfusionRift> Especially with controllers, since they tend to kinda absorb the sweat through nooks and such.

11:49 <Cepheid> So I'm debating between finishing EO3, which I just need to kill the final boss, now, and starting EO2, EON, or finishing EO1.  The problem with 3 is that unlike the later games, the EXP is more modest and getting to level 99 is excrutiating.

11:49 <Cepheid> And I'd need to do it multiple times.

11:49 <Cepheid> I am not fighting that eldritch arsehole at anything lower than level 99, based on what I've heard.

11:50 <Lumindia> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRm0qOYgmms

11:50 <Lumindia> Seeking the peace of reason...

11:51 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/qDHvXp8lfCI

11:51 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

11:51 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about 戦乱 その忌むべき名を呼べ (世界樹の迷宮X Ver.)

11:51 <Cepheid> Calling that Detestable Name, Nexus version.  Final boss theme of EO3.

11:52 <Lumindia> I like that track

11:52 <Cepheid> Plays during I presume the later forms of the Abyssal God.  Initial form uses the standard superboss theme.

11:53 * ConfusionRift knows little of RPGs, so... pffft! Then flops.

11:54 <Cepheid> The Etrian Odyssey series is known for a distinct trait that has existed throughout the series.

11:54 <ConfusionRift> Actually, I was supposed to be asleep... meh. Laters!

11:54 <Lumindia> [ Yuujin readies Final Sentence ]

11:55 <Lumindia> Final Judgement passed! Bask in the light and be cleansed!

11:55 <Cepheid> There is the initial threat.  The most immediate threat, which is what most of the game focuses on.  Then it follows up with a more existential, long-term threat.

11:56 <Cepheid> Hum, now then, what was I last working on...?

11:58 <Cepheid> Hmm.  Looks like I am missing one superboss.

11:58 <Cepheid> Two, actually.  Not including the final boss.

12:00 <Cepheid> Two regular enemies with their rare drops unclaimed.  One FOE missing an item.  There is a missing FOE entry too.  Probably the Tentacle.

12:00 <Cepheid> Lot of the sea bosses have missing rare drops.

12:01 <Cepheid> All super bosses are missing their rare drops.  The dragons are impossible for the time being until I get Ali back up to speed to cope with the elemental breaths.

12:04 *** Quits: Arkomeda (Arkomeda@Pony-50qlgt.1gci.8m88.0587.2a02.IP) (Quit: I must go, my planet needs me.)

12:04 <Cepheid> Alternatively I leave that up to Confusion, who has the antielement skills which reduce elemental damage to the party.

12:11 <Cepheid> 11,890 EXP for one of those FOEs...

12:12 <Cepheid> There are 18 of them in the stratum.  They are easy kills for me, so easy EXP.

12:13 <Cepheid> Through rom hacking, I know the total EXP required to hit level 99 is 5,000,000.  18 of the FOEs gets me... 214,020 EXP.

12:14 <Cepheid> That makes...  24 cycles to go from level 1 to 99.

12:16 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

12:16 <Cepheid> Given a single cycle takes about 15 minutes to perform, that's about six or seven hours of constant effort.

12:17 <Cepheid> And that's for one character.  If i add other characters to the party, the time goes up because the EXP is split between all the charactera.

12:19 <Cepheid> Split between 5 characters, and assuming one of them has the EXP boosting skill, I am looking at...  90 cycles.

12:20 <Cepheid> At 15 minutes per, that's... 22.5 hours.

12:20 * Cepheid decides to time how long it actually takes to get a complete cycle.

12:20 *** Joins: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles)

12:35 <Cepheid> Looks like it is closer to 10 minutes.

13:05 <Cepheid> Hmm.  If I add the two bosses of the stratum to the murder cycle, they add another 90,000 EXP.  And it only takes a couple minutes to murder both of them.

13:20 <Cepheid> 15 hours is actually the worst case scenario.  That is, brand new characters, from level 1.  That's not the case I have here.  Probably closer to a few hours for this party.  Plus, as more and more characters hit level 99, I can remove them from the party to speed things up for the rest.

14:11 *** Joins: Bubs (crap@Pony-uh4.o2r.127.80.IP)

14:13 <Cepheid> As primarily a healer, I need access to a lot of quickbar slots, and taking my hand off the movement keys to hit a key on the far side of the keyboard is a bit...  Troublesome.

14:15 <Cepheid> The further my hand has to travel, the more likely I'll hit the wrong key.  And on top of that I lose out on movement.  It doesn't help that I go back and forth between two keyboard styles on a regular basis and my muscle memory tends not to switch quickly enough.

14:26 <Schism> To each their own, ultimately!

14:29 <Lumindia> I got a 12-button mouse

14:30 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/TFmDnb7.png

14:30 <Schism> That's an odd spot to put those super-ethers.  

14:31 <Nedemai> Cepheid, if you are talking about WoW, my brother would be all "ADDONS, ALL THE ADDONS"

14:31 <Lumindia> the bar on the right is the bar for my MMO MOuise

14:31 <Cepheid> FF14

14:32 <Nedemai> I suppose that makes more sense

14:32 <Nedemai> I've not liked Final Fantasy since ff9

14:32 <Nedemai> recenty I think I found out why

14:32 <Lumindia> why's that?

14:32 <Nedemai> I cant remember the guys name but he left after ff9

14:33 <Nedemai> then the merger with square enix happened around the same time as well

14:33 <Cepheid> There are also other games I play that could use the extra buttons as well.

14:33 <Schism> Surely not Hiroyuki Ito.

14:33 <Lumindia> the merger with Enix didn't happen until some time after FFX

14:33 <Schism> Ah, you mean Hironobu Sakaguchi.

14:34 <Nedemai> yea that would be him. Looks like he worked on ffX as well.

14:35 <Nedemai> Ill give it another try, but even FFX just felt different

14:35 <Lumindia> I like X's combat system

14:35 <Lumindia> the CTB system is my favorite

14:35 <Nedemai> I got a ps2 for free, the game cheap, and I've got the component cables for like... 720p I think the machine does lol

14:36 <Lumindia> where you can see how your next action will affect turn order

14:36 <Nedemai> but think I've sat down to play it

14:36 <Lumindia> makes things more strategic

14:36 <Nedemai> >.>

14:36 <Lumindia> and you know what you can get away with, like "okay, the boss's turn isn't for another 5 actions, I can afford to smack him before I need to heal for the big aoe

15:11 <Cepheid> Spitfire for the love of- stop sniffing Tizzy's butt.

15:20 <Cepheid> Mouse arrived.

15:23 <Cepheid> Right, this is gonna take some getting used to.

15:23 <Cepheid> It has 3 finger buttons instead of the usual 2.

15:24 <Cepheid> Spitfire, what are you-

15:24 <Cepheid> He's walking off with the shipping packaging.

15:38 <Cepheid> So the third finger button is set basically to a toggle switch.

15:39 <Cepheid> Hold it down, and the rest of the buttons can emit different inputs.

15:40 <Cepheid> You are destructive today, cat.

15:41 <Cepheid> But yeah, by default the side buttons are set to 1 through 0 along the keyboard, then -, then =.  If you hold down the third finger button, then the buttons will emit CTRL+#, same setup.

15:41 <Cepheid> So in effect, immediate access to 24 hotbar buttons with my thumb.

16:22 <Cepheid> I swear, when these two leave us for the rainbow bridge, cats will just start showing up at the front door.

16:22 <Lumindia> kek

16:38 <Cepheid> A catgirl, with her black cat pet, riding a fat cat.  I can't get any more catty than this.

16:38 <Schism> I forget if you ever got your hands on a Tora-Jiro, Cepheid.  Not as good as a black cat, but still cute.

16:39 <Cepheid> Not sure.  Let me see.

16:43 <Schism> Daily hunt marks are a decent way to get those, and experience.

16:47 <Cepheid> Oh my gods that guy in pink is still there in Gridania.

16:48 <Schism> Best to simply ignore him.  XD;

16:49 * Ali puts on bunny suit and dances in front of Cepheid

16:50 <Cepheid> The suit's relatively okay, though does give me nightmares about Silent Hill 3, it's the pink though that terrifies me the most.

16:52 * Ali flops over Schism and Cepheid as she is 14CNJ and out of quests

16:53 <Ali> And I know nothing of the job system

16:53 <Schism> Ali: Have you done the [H]unting log?

16:54 <Ali> On rank 2 of it

16:54 * Schism nodnods. "FATEs then?"

16:54 <Ali> I'm like early 14, its not something that can just be lightly grinded to

16:54 <Schism> Also, job system is... really not what it used to be.  All it means is that you get a little crystal you equip at level 30 and then you turn into the job.

16:55 <Schism> There used to be this whole rigmarole about getting a second job to 15, etc. etc. but that was quickly phased out when Yoshi-P (head producer) decided it didn't really fit that well.

16:56 *** Joins: Pony|58825 (Pony58825@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net)

16:57 <Ali> So its effectively useless just like professions in WoW

16:57 <Schism> Not really.  DoW/DoM jobs are basically just 'advancing to the better class', like in FFI.

16:58 <Schism> So you go from CNJ to WHM.

16:58 <Ali> So even LESS attack spells~

16:58 <Ali> I just need another button to push or something

16:58 <Ali> Cause even though you're a mixed class

16:58 <Schism> Nah, you keep Aero, Stone, you get Holy and more bonuses like Presence of Mind.

16:59 <Ali> Stone is so freaking weak

16:59 <Schism> It gets upgraded as you level.

16:59 <Ali> Still feels weak

16:59 <Schism> Stone II comes at level 18.

16:59 * Cepheid stands next to Ali, dressed in White Mage Gear, at high level. "... Am I chopped liver to you?"

16:59 <Ali> Yes, yes you are :P

16:59 <Schism> Goes from 140 to 200.

17:00 <Ali> Potency tells me nothing

17:00 <Ali> When 140 translates to 20-30 damage

17:00 <Schism> Eh, 40% better damage is something to be had.

17:00 <Schism> Also, you'll be hitting much harder once you get the level 15 gear.

17:00 <Cepheid> Ali, you also need to work on gear and stats for it to improve. :P

17:01 <Ali> You think I just vendor the gear they give you? :P

17:01 <Ali> I've MMO'd a bit before, I know to swap to better gear as you get it

17:01 <Ali> Yes I do think my gear might be a bit under level, but I'm not used to the game either so I don't know the best quests or the best zone to be at right now either

17:02 <Ali> God I am burning up right now and I don't know why

17:03 <Ali> So I guess I ignore the 'professions' huh?

17:03 <Schism> For the moment, craftskills are useful, but they're also a bit expensive.

17:03 <Schism> You might also want to look into right-side gear if you haven't any of that yet.

17:03 <Ali> So gil sinks huh

17:03 <Ali> right side?

17:03 * Ali headtilts

17:03 <Schism> Yeah, those are your jewelry and all that.

17:04 <Ali> jewels and such are not really upgradable

17:04 <Schism> Left-side gear is your armour, but jewelry can be helpful too, though they provide much less stats.

17:04 <Schism> fewer*

17:04 <Ali> Until they give me a +2INT +2 MIND

17:04 <Ali> Cause most of the right side stuff is +1 to six stats

17:04 <Schism> Oh yeah.  Fair nuff.

17:05 * Schism grumps, "Wish I could trade with you."

17:05 <Ali> Game is telling me recomended stuff and its telling me to do archer/carpender quests

17:05 <Ali> But...I don't want to change class

17:05 <Ali> And I guess prefession changes class too..

17:05 <Schism> Oh, you can always switch back.

17:06 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Makenshi: Trixie Music: Spikey Wikey - Showtime [Drum & Bass] [ http://tinyurl.com/yckgwqyz ]

17:06 <Schism> But it's reasonable to not want to switch right away.  I do suggest some FATEs in East Shroud if you have the opportunity.

17:07 <Ali> I'm 2800/26,400  I don't think a FATE or two is going to fix that.

17:07 <Schism> It will if you have a helper to get you through them faster and get that experience bonus at the end.

17:08 <Schism> There are also those two opening Guildhests.

17:08 <Schism> These are small little trials, intended to get you some training in parties.

17:09 <Schism> They range from level 10 to level 40, and their first-time completion bonus is smol, but helpful nonetheless.

17:10 * Cepheid suddenly bursts into a hot sweat inexplicably. Also starts complaining of extremely warm environs.

17:13 <Schism> Ali: If you'd like I can kinda-sorta carry you through some FATEs easily enough.

17:13 * Ali shrugs, she's not sure what to do, knew healer would be low damage but didn't think this low

17:14 <Schism> Once you hit 15 and get the Brand New Gear, you'll be getting a lot more damage output.

17:16 <Ali> Hopefully

17:47 <Cepheid> Guh, this is annoying.  I don't want to do anything.  Just lay down, cover up, and read.

17:47 <Cepheid> Been getting like this a few hours into each day.  My body just up and says "Nope, I need to lay down" and that's it for the rest of the day.

17:47 <Cepheid> I boil alongside it the entire time.

17:52 <Cepheid> I think it might be my continual usage of the nasal rinse keeping the infection at bay.  Damned thing wants to grow inside my sinuses, and I can FEEL it.

19:34 <Nedemai> Cepheid, you'd likely be killed if you could make any headway on that, but the reality is most people would ignore and laugh at you

19:34 <Cepheid> I wasn't serious you know.

19:35 <Nedemai> sounded serious enough

19:37 <Schism> Purest flight of fancy.

19:38 <Cepheid> And yet the idea is incredulous.  What would possess you to think I was serious based on that?

19:44 <Nedemai> Well, unfortunately opinions count for not, but I do see the USA as being inept given the numbers

19:44 <Nedemai> its not far fetched to accuse them of causing more harm

19:46 <Schism> Considering some of the dealings of the government over the past few weeks, with regards to seizing shipments of medical supplies, one can safely assume malice.

19:47 <ADragonDreaming> From a citizen level it'd be more successful as a class-action from within the country itself.

20:18 <Cepheid> Yeah.  The worst part is that most console ports are based on that Jaguat port, including the low-def levels.  More recent(360, PS3 and onward, roughly) releases fortunately fixed that.
