00:01 * Angeline hugs miner pony.

00:09 *** Joins: Colgate (rabbit@brushie.horse)

00:23 <Cepheid> I am gonna do a physical exercise experiment.  Each day, I am gonna do as many pushups as my body will allow.  Let's see how the number progresses over time.

00:24 <Cepheid> So far I've done 15, one set of 7, one set of 8.

00:25 <Lumindia> You can't just shoot a hole in the surface of mars

00:25 <Ali> I don't dare do push ups anymore, for fear of my shoulder.

00:26 <Cepheid> Best line of the game.

00:26 <Cepheid> Also "That is not a teleporter"

00:26 <Lumindia> "hahaha big gun go pew pew"

00:27 <Ali> Needs more dakka

00:27 <Lumindia> That is a weapon... not a teleport

00:27 <Lumindia> also "Would you like me to disengage the safety mechanism?" *clicks button faster* "Disengaged, fire when ready."

00:27 <Cepheid> Heh.

00:27 <Lumindia> I like VEGA, he understands us

00:27 <Cepheid> VEGA is awesome.

00:28 * Lumindia picks up Angie, carries off to bed for snuggletime

00:28 <Cepheid> That said...  I want to know what transformations were used on Hayden's voice, so I can see how my own voice would sound with them.

00:29 <Lumindia> that's a good question

00:29 <Cepheid> His voice is so well done.

00:30 * Angeline squirms and then flaps her wings at Lumindia, a clear sign of pegasus frustration.

00:31 * Lumindia releases Angie, but still leaves a spot on the bed for her to curl up on if she desires

00:31 <Ali> She probably just needs brushies

00:31 * Lumindia also tempts her with brushies

00:31 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I don't see all the hubbub about *THOSE* enemies.  I personally think the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] are worse.

00:32 <Lumindia> marauder?

00:32 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

00:33 <Cepheid> The biggest issue in fighting them are actually other enemies.

00:37 <Cepheid> Guh.  Longest set.  12 pushups.  Totaling 27 in one day.

00:41 <Cepheid> Gonna feel it tomorrow probably.  So I'll stop there.

00:46 * Cepheid loads Lumindia into a UAC cannon. o3o

00:50 * Cepheid tries firing it. But apparently, ponies are not authorized UAC munitions. And VEGA is being a jerk. Something about launching living things into surfaces at high speeds being unethical.

00:50 * Schism offers Cepheid some spicy cream of chicken soup.

00:50 * Angeline snuggles into Lumindia upon being brushed.

00:52 * Cepheid noms.

00:54 <Cepheid> Schism, the Spider Mastermind in Brutal Doom is insane.  I can't kill it.

00:54 <Schism> Sheesh.

00:56 <Cepheid> It's autoshotgun cannon is replaced by what is effectively a rapid-fire flak cannon firing rocket-like prtojectiles.

00:57 <Cepheid> The projectiles are fast, and due to inaccuracy, dodging them is tricky because strafing isn't guaranteed to work.  The damage is extreme, too.

00:59 <Schism> Sheesh.  There's the other half of the word 'brutal', then.

01:00 <Cepheid> Yep.

01:15 <Cepheid> Huzzah!  I got an ethical, moral and legal dilemma stuck in my head and cannot resolve it!

01:15 <Cepheid> I hate showers sometimes.

01:20 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1253493857687425030?s=19 Twitter, seriously?

01:31 <Ali> Well the autonauts wiki certainly lacks features

01:31 <Ali> Like it says you can water certain crops

01:31 <Ali> Yet you can't pour water from a bucket onto it so far.  I'm lost

01:32 <Ali> Oh has to be watered WHILE growing... thanks game :P

01:35 * Ali wonders how Schism knew she was messing with cereal

01:36 <Schism> Food?  >>

01:36 <Ali> But that specific crop :P  Could've been carrots or anything else.

01:37 <Schism> I'm thinking Minecrafty.  Grain is always the first thing you grow.

01:39 <Schism> Or you could've been harvesting pumpkins.

01:39 <Schism> Though I guess that wouldn't be watery.

01:42 <Ali> Yeah there's pumpkins in the game too

01:42 <Ali> But automating them is a bit of a pain

01:42 <Ali> Cause to get the seeds, you need to smash the pumpkin

01:43 * Schism yawns. "Okay, I'm going to make an early night of it."

01:43 <Ali> the cereal needs to be threshed to get its seeds

01:43 * PrincessRainbows tears up and hugs Ali so tightly

01:43 <Schism> You can't thresh pumpkins with a flail?

01:44 <Schism> Er, smash*

01:44 <Ali> No, must be a hammer I believe

05:56 * ConfusionRift grabbies then pets PrincessRainbows.

05:59 <Koopz> dA yet again tried to get me to use their new "Eclipse" Theme

06:05 <Koopz> they've improved it over the last... 2 years? but i still can't get warm to it

06:05 <Koopz> it also lacks the "Remove from Messages" button when seeing a deviation from your notifications

06:06 <Koopz> which is crucial for my selfwritten hotkey script...

06:06 * PrincessRainbows hugs all the horses tightly

06:10 * PrincessRainbows yawns and boops Ali's horn

06:11 * Ali licks Koopz nosie

06:11 * Koopz scrunchymuzzles

06:12 <Koopz> they'll turn off the old theme in about a month...

06:13 <PrincessRainbows> You usually have to force change whether for better or worse

06:15 * PrincessRainbows trots off to bed like a good little filly. Nini

06:20 <Ali> Cause forced change is good right?  *Stares at her Ipad 2 that's basically bricked but is in near perfect condition*

06:27 * Koopz stares at his debian 5 server that hasn't seen a single update since installation

06:27 * Koopz pokerfaces

06:27 <Koopz> :>

06:27 <Koopz> i uh... might be biased

06:29 <Koopz> change is good! i'm earning money by change

06:30 <Koopz> but i'd rather not risk downtime by doing open heart surgery so to speak

06:31 <Koopz> and the changes i do are (most of the time) improvements

07:07 <Ali> Original?

07:53 <ConfusionRift> Oh noooes, how did that happen?

08:06 <Ali> Being $60 bucks up front and a $30 DLC pack

08:06 <Ali> When a traditional DS pokemon game was only $40 and felt like it had more content..

08:08 <Finwe> Well, it's immoral to let fools keep their money, so they're just doing the right thing.

08:08 * Ali flops over ConfusionRift

08:08 <Finwe> Pony pile!

08:09 * Finwe piles up on ConfusionRift and Ali.

08:09 * Ali squeaks and splats

08:12 * ConfusionRift nods. "You also had a lot more things you could do."

08:12 <Ali> Well not in Sun and Moon

08:12 <Ali> I don't know, the quality of the game has gone down since Gen 4

08:13 <Ali> Gen 8 was a step forward from 7, but its still way too short for a console game.

08:14 <ConfusionRift> A $60 one at that. Then again... (sighs) it's been like that.

08:15 <Koopz> Pokémon now has DLCs?

08:15 <Koopz> man i'm so out of loop...

08:16 <Ali> I didn't pay full price for Shield myself

08:16 <Ali> Koopz, with Sword and Shield they added DLC to it

08:16 <Ali> For two DLCs at a $30 price tag

08:19 <Koopz> so content wise

08:20 <ConfusionRift> ^

08:20 <Koopz> do they justify the price tag?

08:20 <ConfusionRift> What are the DLCs?

08:21 *** Joins: DataByte (DataByteBro@Pony-entlff.mf5i.q24m.0242.2601.IP)

08:21 <Koopz> oh... my...

08:22 <Koopz> they unlock 100+ Pokémon from previous gens each

08:23 <Ali> Ilse of Armor and Isle of something

08:23 <ConfusionRift> Oh, so stuff that could've been in the game, they objected to add, and are now wedged in DLCs... cool.

08:23 <Ali> Each is supposed to add 100 new pokemon and a new area to explore

08:23 *** Quits: DBB (DataByteBro@Pony-entlff.mf5i.q24m.0242.2601.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

08:24 <Ali> My problem with this

08:24 <Ali> Is obviously that these new areas will lack content to justify the price

08:24 <Ali> Look I don't mind that they took the time to polish all the pokemon into the game and slowly introduce them

08:25 <Ali> But I have a bit more of an issue with the high cost of the content

08:25 <Ali> Since its half the price of the original game, but since that was featureless to begin with, that the DLC will also just add like 5 routes to the game each

08:25 <Ali> The game felt small and empty

08:25 <Ali> The Wild Area is not something I enjoy either

08:26 <Ali> Especially after becoming Champ and everything gets level locked to 60

08:27 <Ali> So you can't even catch low level pokemon in the Wild Area anymore

08:27 <Ali> They're ALL adjusted to 60

08:27 <Ali> That Lvl 3 caterpie?  Nah its 60 now

08:27 <Ali> How about that wild Lvl 12 Onix?

08:27 <Ali> Nah its 60 too

08:28 <Ali> ANyway I'm babbling to nobody so I'm gonna sleep

08:28 <Koopz> hmmm

08:28 <Koopz> level up to 100 and catching gets easy again

08:28 <Koopz> :D

08:28 <Ali> I'm not worried about the level jump

08:29 <Ali> I'm more annoyed that if I want to catch a low level mon in the wild area

08:29 * Koopz forces a pile of sweets down his Pokémon's throat

08:29 <Ali> I can't do it after becoming champ

08:29 <Ali> So if its Wild Area exclusive

08:29 <Ali> Its now Lvl 60

08:29 <Ali> but meh, time to sleeps

08:29 <Koopz> why would you want to catch a low level one though?

13:39 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

13:39 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about [1082] Inexcusable: The Pro-Gard Police Car Shotgun Lock

13:45 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, a gun lock that's just as easy to open by a civilian just as much for an officer is a big problem. More so, as he mentions, costing hundreds of dollars.

13:47 <Cepheid> A magnet, man.  A magnet!  How do you make a lock that can be broken by a magnet?!

13:48 * ConfusionRift points at the safe boxes used in the store, which open just as easily.

13:49 <ConfusionRift> My guess is that it uses a form of gravity lock, which often are easy to open with a regular ceramic magnet.

13:49 <ConfusionRift> It's one of the cheaper locking methods.

13:50 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/qzdu3h5w1pu41

13:50 <Cepheid> Ah.

13:55 <Cepheid> The way that kitten spazzes at the sight of a shrimp plush...

14:02 <ConfusionRift> That's definitely their toy. :P

14:02 <Cepheid> Yep.  Had to have come with them from the shelter.

14:04 <Cepheid> That said I just realized how small a kitten's tail is.  Compared to aw fully-grown cat, it is small as hell.  That means more bones are being made inside the cat as it grows.  *shivers*

14:16 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/j6p8or81cdj31.gif Schism this is for you.

14:32 <Cepheid> You know, were I visible during the most recent televised Orange One's message, I would have lost my **** on national TV and cursed and swore the president out when he suggested injecting disinfectant to treat COVID-19.  Screw my job and future.  There's a point at which I think "Enough is enough" and suggesting lethal injection on TV is that point.  Especially when you know people will listen to him.

14:43 <ConfusionRift> I don't think you would be the only one. (sighs) None of this surprises me.

14:45 <Cepheid> The thing I wonder is whether or not he is aware of what that would do.  If he is, then he is knowingly trying to get people to kill themselves.  Otherwise, it just means he is stupid.  And both possibilities are terrifying

15:56 <Cepheid> Ooh the DMFD update has arrived.  Let's see what is new.

15:57 <Schism> Mmmm, breaktime.

15:57 * Schism makes a cup of coffee. Also, bites Cepheid for that image.

15:59 <Cepheid> Two new classes.  New weapon classes for all characters.  Max level for characters increased to 100.  Quest  max level increased to 110.  New save slot.

15:59 <Cepheid> I thought you'd like that Schism.

15:59 <Schism> DMF--oh, Dragon Marked for Death.

16:02 <Cepheid> Really need to play through it.  Mix of RPG and Gunvolt/Megaman Zero.

16:02 * ConfusionRift checks it out. "Ooooh noooo." Hears his wallet moving. He pulls he rifle out. "You better go back, you hear?" Wallet hides again.

16:02 <Cepheid> Brutally hard in singleplayer though.

16:03 * ConfusionRift sighs.

16:03 <Cepheid> I alas have the Switch version.  Wouldn't be able to play with Steam version.

16:03 <ConfusionRift> So basically they made the game with 4-players in mind.

16:03 <Cepheid> Well, more two players minimum.

16:03 <Schism> I might, -might- pick up the PC version after my next paycheque.  At the moment... well.

16:03 <Cepheid> It can be done solo.  Just a bit difficult.

16:03 <Schism> Mumble grumble strep throat.

16:04 <Cepheid> Some quests need special tactics for solo runs.

16:04 <ConfusionRift> I still have a mess of games to go through. Not to mention a few other platformers I should at least finish. Oh, and a specific shooter as well.

16:05 <Cepheid> One involving [REDACTED] comes to mind.

16:06 <Cepheid> So, apparently there is a DOOM 1993 mod that adds the DOOM 2016 weapons to it.

16:08 <ConfusionRift> And yeah, it's both Doom games; 2016 and Eternal.

16:10 <Cepheid> You should play them in order.  Eternal is a direct sequel to 2016.

16:10 <Cepheid> And references it a lot.

16:11 <ConfusionRift> On top of WonderBoy (which has been a bit irritating), Grim Dawn, Gris, Noita (at least one friggin' cycle!), Metro, Batman: Arkham series, Moonlighter, Baba is You, and a bunch others.

16:11 <ConfusionRift> That's the plan. I paused playing Eternal and went back to 2016.

16:12 <Cepheid> Also, not a spoiler really, but Eternal verifies the canonical name of the Slayer as far as the series is concerned.

16:12 <Cepheid> It's Doomguy.

16:12 <ConfusionRift> Yep.

16:13 <Cepheid> I want to finish Eternal, but I have to wait until the weekend.  My mother wants to watch.

16:14 <Cepheid> That said, I do not recommend playing on Ultra-Violence or higher for your first runs of both games.

16:15 <Cepheid> Geezus effin hells, the games gave me a run for my money even on Hurt Me Plenty, the default.

16:16 <ConfusionRift> I never do. (sighs) I always play on normal from the get-go.

16:16 <ConfusionRift> No matter how easy or hard a game is, I always play on normal or default difficulty.

16:17 * ConfusionRift looks at Ni No Kuni 2. "Well, some exceptions."

16:17 <Cepheid> I usually go one level up nowadays because ever since beating certain games on Hard or higher, normal feels too sluggish.

16:18 <Cepheid> But I tried that with DOOM 2016.  I couldn't get past the first Gore Nest.

16:19 <Cepheid> Given the difficulty of Eternal and my perseverance, I could probably pull it off now.

16:20 <Cepheid> I also advise doing 2016 first because Eternal needs a patch or two.  Ran into a few bugs.

16:21 * Cepheid loads up 2016, to see if he can pull off Ultra-Violence difficulty now.

16:21 <Cepheid> Hum, I seem to be waking up now.  Should probably look into doing a BIT of work today.

16:23 <ConfusionRift> The only time I play on a higher difficulty is if I have already beaten the game, and found normal way too easy. Alas, very few fall on that exception. Ni No Kuni 2 being one of them, but ain't going back to that.

16:23 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and the Ratchet & Clank series.

16:23 <Cepheid> I have a problem with difficulties in general.  I do stupid stuff in them.

16:23 <Cepheid> Case in point, Rabi-Ribi.

16:24 <Cepheid> I played it on Hard last Summer, and at some point, turned it into a Hard-With-No-Consumables-Or-Badges run.

16:26 <Cepheid> I had to make one exception.  Miriam.

16:28 <ConfusionRift> I wonder. :P

16:29 <Cepheid> Oh, hey.  I survived the first gore nest.

16:29 <ConfusionRift> Normal was painful for me as it was. Hard mode being... yeah, not in any future for me. Blarg... sleep tiiiiime for meeeeee. (flops)

16:29 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-boo.irn.56.193.IP) (Quit: Recharging the batteries. Laters! *shutdown*)

16:32 <Cepheid> Yep... 2016 on Ultra-Violence feels more like the later levels of Eternal on Hurt Me Plenty.

16:47 <Cepheid> Gonna be honest, the end-result of me doing the first level of DOOM 2016 on Ultra-Violence this time around is shocking.

16:47 <Cepheid> I have ammo left over, I have 50 armor, and full health.

16:52 <Cepheid> Ye know.  If I were ever to record a voiceover for a character who has a cough, I'd have no problems being able to achieve an authentic-sounding cough.

18:09 * Ali flops over Schism. "Man the progression of Autonauts gets really hard for a simple minded pony.."

18:10 * Cepheid drops and does some push-ups.

18:12 * Cepheid decides against it, as his shoulder joints seem all sore.

18:13 <Ali> Like getting tier three tech you need the 100x research points.  The problem with this is you need water to mess with the food and then just needs so many bots and programming them all is oy X.x

18:17 <Schism> Well, it is meant to be a slower-paced experience...

18:17 * Schism hums, finishing his sandwich.

18:18 <Schism> Sandvich, cup of yogurt, glass of juice, mug of strong coffee.

18:21 <Ali> Yeah the game does feel a bit grindy.  Learning things are spacy cause there are things missing

18:23 <Schism> Mmm.  I daresay that one-cup coffee drip was an excellent investment.

18:23 * Ali flailyhooves at Schism

18:24 * Schism provides Ali with some masala chai.

18:24 * Ali doesn't know what that is!

18:25 <Ali> See the problem now is to get the 100 research points per piece

18:25 <Schism> Tea!  Tea with clove, cinnamon, cardamom, and other spices.

18:25 <Ali> Is you need Lvl 3 cooking

18:25 <Schism> Yeee.

18:25 <Ali> Which requires the Lvl 2 food, plus fuel, plus water

18:25 <Ali> It just sounds like a lot of annoyances to automate at this moment

18:26 *** Joins: FruitNibbler (Eogan@Pony-39gl9p.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)

18:26 <Ali> Food is a pain in the butt too.  It sounds like you should just be focusing on just one crop or something it seems cause trying to have them all is just asking for problems

18:27 *** Quits: Fn (Eogan@Pony-h57dro.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

18:28 <Ali> And getting water from point A to point B seems to be a bit annoying

18:28 <Schism> I'm sure eventually you'll have some vehicles.

18:29 <Ali> I'm not sure if its in the tier 3 stuff or not

18:29 <Ali> But having buckets and they fail pretty quickly for just adding water to a barrel

18:32 <Ali> I'm doing a lot of resets to the game but I am learning some things.  Just need to organize a bit better.

18:33 <Schism> Just like Factorio.  o3o

18:34 <Ali> Least I don't have to worry about being attacked constantly~

18:52 <Schism> This is the best response to a typo.  KPRC2 in Houston, instead of saying, "Whoops, our bad," went one step further and started producing banana-themed face masks.  https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2020/04/23/going-bananas-at-kprc-2-we-arent-masking-our-mistake/

18:53 <Cepheid> Heh.

18:54 * PrincessRainbows boops Ali's horn repeatedly and licks

19:07 * Ali hugs PrincessRainbows tightly

19:25 * PrincessRainbows hides under Ali

19:25 * Ali squeaks

19:32 * Cepheid flops about.

19:32 * Cepheid debates about using Roslyn to compile CSharp scripts for a scripting-like entity system. There are security concerns, though.

19:33 <Cepheid> The alternative is LUA.

19:43 <Finwe> Good evening, everypony.

19:43 * Finwe just won a game of bridge.

19:43 <Finwe> Miss Ali, Messrs Cepheid and Schism.

19:43 * Finwe doffs his hat.

20:05 <Cepheid> Hum, seems easy to set up and use NLua.  Sandboxing is the next issue.

20:10 * Cepheid flops back upstairs to rest.

20:15 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/JDWsOutcE5E

20:15 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

20:15 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Russian Overkill 3.0 Update - All weapons showcase

20:15 <Cepheid> I have a lot of questions.

20:19 * Ali noms Cepheid ear

23:28 <Cepheid> Fun note.  To properly spawn a rocket from the right position in DOOM 2, the revenant is shifted up 16 units, the spawn object function is called, then the revenant is shifted back down 16 units.

23:43 <Lumindia> from the right position?

23:43 <Lumindia> ??

23:43 <Schism> To keep the rockets from exploding inside the floor, I guess?  *ponyshrug*

23:46 <Finwe> !lullaby

23:46 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed

23:46 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby

23:46 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"

23:46 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!

23:46 * Finwe falls asleep.

23:49 <Schism> G'night!

23:50 * Schism considers making pancakes.

23:51 * Schism also snickers at Songs of the Spheres, where Corona Shimmer decided to name her Stand (yes, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) 'Bacon Pancakes'.

23:56 <PinkieShy> !hug

23:56 <DerpyBot> Hugtiem? :3

23:56 <PinkieShy> yes

23:56 * DerpyBot wraps her front hooves around PinkieShy in a tight embrace

23:56 <PinkieShy> Yaaay hugs :D
