00:15 <Cepheid> Well, that's not surprising, if it was his first run.

00:33 <Cepheid> Man.
00:33 <Cepheid> Generating these fonts takes FOREVER.
00:47 <Cepheid> This has to be done carefully.
00:54 <Cepheid> ...
00:54 <Cepheid> There was a massive data leak of Nintendo stuff.
00:54 <Cepheid> Including design documents for the Wii, and source code related to it.
00:54 <Cepheid> SOme of the data goes as far back as the N64.
00:55 <Cepheid> And internal workings of the Gamecube.
00:55 <Schism> Oh, nice. o3o
00:56 <Cepheid> Yes and no. There's gonna be heavy legal action being thrown around now, especially against emulators.
00:56 <Cepheid> Probably.
00:56 <Cepheid> On the other hand?
00:57 <Cepheid> Emulation of the Wii and Gamecube will improve, since the data appears to include Verilog files of the chips.
00:57 <Cepheid> If Nintendo was smart, which, unfortunately their legal department is..
00:58 <Cepheid> They'd let it slide, let the emulators develop, and then ask the emulator developers if they can use the emulator to support backwards compatibility on the Switch.
01:04 <ADragonDreaming> Nintendo cares more about control than anything else.

01:09 <Cepheid> Aye.
01:09 <Cepheid> Their lawyers are overzealous.
01:10 <Schism> Something something Nintendo Seal of Quality.
01:10 <Cepheid> The problem with using an emulator really is it opens the system to exploits. Never mind that first generation Switch units have an exploit that can't be closed.
01:10 <Cepheid> Surprised they didn't pull a fast one and ban all those units.

03:07 <Cepheid> Are you kidding me?
03:08 <Cepheid> Okay, first of all, can I disable kerning in LibreOffice so I can get unkerned text and verify the contents?
03:09 *** Jouva_ is now known as Jouva
03:09 <Cepheid> Apparently I can.
03:10 <Cepheid> Okay, unkerned, it's 100% identical, so it's not the X Advance, or the Bearing.

04:49 <Schism> Hello world.
04:50 <Cepheid> Simplest string in the English world for software dev. Best string to use for testing.
04:51 <Schism> Good for testing kerning, too, though you might a few lines of Lorem Ipsem.
04:51 <Schism> Ipsum*
04:51 <Cepheid> I've determined that kerning is correct, now.
04:52 <Cepheid> I did a simple visual comparison between the string "Hello World" in LibreOffice, and what my code renders. They're identical.
04:53 <Cepheid> Oh, got my token.
04:53 <Schism> Ah, good. I'm still waiting on mine.
04:54 <Cepheid> Likely you'll get it next week. If you ordered yours roughly a week after mine, that is.
04:54 <Schism> Mmm.
04:54 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1257513825693306880 For the record, this is what all my work for the last week and a half has allowed for.
04:54 <Schism> Which all makes sense. I'm not about to whinge about customers not understanding turnaround times on orders and then commit exactly the same idiocy.
04:54 <Cepheid> Basically, scalable font with minimal processing required.
04:55 <Schism> Very nice indeed!
04:55 <Cepheid> The only processing needed is pre-processing, which, depending on some factors, can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.

05:11 <Cepheid> Apparently the answer to my question is "Long enough it'll take several hours."
05:11 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm, might check on it in a bit.
05:11 <Cepheid> This would be an overnight job.
05:13 <Cepheid> Awesome, token's registered. Easy peasy. *Loses it immediately*
05:16 <Schism> Pfff.
05:17 <Schism> Free teleports are nice to have. You can go back and forth between Kugane and the rest of the game for free now, as opposed to paying a thousand gil a pop.
05:17 <Schism> Me, I just have 350 free teleport tokens.
05:23 * ConfusionRift watches a bit of someone playing SCP Unity... and SCP-505 is just in a plastic bag on the floor. "Eeerm... oops?"
05:24 <Cepheid> Oh?
05:25 <Schism> Eh, so long as the bag is sealed.
05:25 <ConfusionRift> Let me seee... oh yeah, the fountain pen which its ink replicates non-stop.
05:26 <ConfusionRift> More like it continuously spreads on surfaces.
05:26 <Cepheid> My question was actually directed to Schism, but that's cool too. :P
05:27 <ConfusionRift> Oh. :P
05:27 <Schism> Cepheid: yeah, you can spend any Allied or Centurio Seals you get on teleport tokens. They're 5 seals a pop.
05:28 <Schism> Since I've already bought all the riding maps and minions, that's... about all they're good for.
05:30 <Cepheid> Ah. I was referring more to the "You can go back and forth between Kugane and the rest of the game for free now" part.
05:31 <Schism> Oh, that. You get a free teleport location, so you can set that to, say, Kugane, and your return point to Eorzea proper.
05:36 <Cepheid> Ah.
05:39 <Cepheid> Right. I'ma let this run. In the interim, FF14.
05:39 <Cepheid> And after it's done running, FF14 anyways.
05:39 <Cepheid> I'm done coding for the day. I've made enough progress.
05:41 <Schism> I'll be getting some sleep soon: working in the morning.
05:45 <Cepheid> I need to clean this room tomorrow.

06:30 * ConfusionRift pets PinkieShy.
06:30 <Cepheid> It's an interesting situation though, Schism. She is known to have committed atrocities, but in her current state, assuming it is not an act, how can you legally try her?
06:31 <Schism> Indeed, and if not legally, then at least morally. Would that be a 'sins of the father' type of situation?
06:33 <Cepheid> I can see one potential path, but it has a risk.
06:34 <Cepheid> Arguably, if a person was left that much of a clean slate, such that their personality reverted to before whatever happened to make them so aggressive and angry in the first place..
06:35 <Cepheid> It would be reasonable to try and "raise" them again. Give them the life they did not have. In the event that they do recover their memories, it is possible that the good acquired during the amnesia case may outweigh the bad.
06:35 <Schism> Mmm. Also, one could argue that the person responsible for the acts has already been executed.
06:35 <Cepheid> And if such a thing occurs, then you have a dangerous ally on your side. Especially one so high up.
06:35 <Cepheid> Because their danger comes not from their behaviour, or what they did in the past, but the knowledge they had locked away.
06:36 <Cepheid> And, there is that, yes. I am not certain what is worse.
06:36 <Cepheid> Being put to the axe, or losing your memory entirely and reverting to what amounts to a child.
06:36 <Cepheid> In either case, the individual has suffered a great loss. Either their life, or their memories and identity.
06:37 <Cepheid> ... Okay.
06:38 <Cepheid> The patches since when I finished Stormblood have definitely added a bunch of quests.
06:38 <Cepheid> I am 100% certain I did not leave this many quests incomplete in this region.
06:38 <Cepheid> I am anal about completing as much as I possibly can in a given region before moving on.
06:41 <Cepheid> ... Oh gods.
06:42 <Schism> Cepheid: As you progress with the MSQ, yes, more sidequests are added.
06:43 <Schism> Care for a persimmon?
06:43 <Cepheid> Persimmon?
06:43 <Schism> Nevermind. So, why the 'oh gods?'
06:43 <Cepheid> Part of Yotsuyu's history.
06:43 <Schism> Yerp.
06:43 <Cepheid> If that's only a small fraction, and she was broken by that point... Geezus cripes.
06:45 <Cepheid> I feel like I'm stuck on Mr. Bone's Wild Ride, now. I've started this chapter, and I want to finish it now.
06:45 <Cepheid> Even if I wanted to stop, I can't.
06:46 <Cepheid> That said, I really need to go through all the story again up to this point. My memory is spotty, and a lot of details have been lost to the wheel of time.
06:47 <ConfusionRift> Man, would be awesome to have my own large property.

06:57 <Cepheid> On one hand... I want to say I distrust Garlemald. On the other hand though? With all the constant changes in leadership that happen(It's been what, two now?), we kinda have to see what their intentions actually are.

07:13 <Schism> Cepheid: Asahi?
07:13 <Cepheid> Yeah.
07:13 <Cepheid> His tone is... It's weird.
07:14 <Schism> Yeah, it kind of oozes.
07:14 <Schism> It was a pretty inspired decision to pick that VA. You watching cutscenes in English or Japanese?
07:14 <Cepheid> English.
07:16 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-u30cht.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)
07:16 <Cepheid> The thing about the tone though, is that one could argue that it's either the "royal" nature behind him, or, simply part of the act in negotiating. Whether or not there is malicious intent behind it remains to be seen.
07:16 * Schism nodnods.
07:17 <Cepheid> Of course, this is me being an optimist speaking.
07:17 <Cepheid> There is a reason I do not debate, because I am, unfortunately, easy to manipulate.
07:17 <Schism> A lot of Garleans seem to talk like that. I swear that every word out of Nero's mouth, for example, is mocking, sarcastic, or both.
07:18 <Schism> But we all know Nero's a jerkface.
07:18 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
07:18 <Schism> Just, well, a comparatively neutral jerk.
07:18 <Cepheid> And, again, as stated, we removed the head of the Garlean empire twice now. The first two were agonizingly evil, but as new people move into place.. well...
07:20 <Schism> Eh, Zenos certainly was, but for all of his terrible decisions, Gaius really did simply want to do what he thought was best for his country. Getting manipulated by an Ascian didn't make him evil, just misguided.

07:26 <Schism> Admittedly, unlike Asahi, Maxima seems to be incredibly sincere in comparison at that point. Doesn't mean he's not evil, just that he seems at least better-natured.
07:26 <Cepheid> Maxima. Name doesn't ring a bell.
07:26 <Schism> That other guy with Asahi, the deputy ambassador and the guy who's part of a piece-seeking Garlean faction.
07:27 <Schism> peace*
07:27 <Cepheid> Ah. He hasn't had much of a chance to speak, I don't think.
07:27 <Schism> Yea, pretty quiet up until that point, if memory serves.
07:27 <Schism> But at least his voice isn't slimy.
07:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
07:29 <Finwe> Good forenoon, everypony.
07:29 <Cepheid> That said, other things that contribute to Asahi's case is that yeah, there are likely factions that don't want to be expansionists/conquerers. That said..
07:30 <Finwe> Messrs Cepheid and Schism, Miss Ali.
07:30 * Finwe doffs his hat.
07:30 <Cepheid> I would have expected the previous leadership to literally commit mass genocide and destroy any dissenting factions.
07:30 <Schism> Zenos yae Galvus absolutely adored chaos and civil war, with his whole radical Darwinist schtick.
07:31 <Schism> And he'd happily have slaughtered anyone even ostensibly on his side just for giggles.
07:32 <Cepheid> Pretty much.
07:32 <Schism> Even Gaius was smarter than 'my way or nothing', as he would understand that a strong ruler requires strong support, even if that support disagrees with him on the specifics.
07:32 <Cepheid> As for Ascian involvement, I could see them secretly having groups "removed".
07:34 * Cepheid decides to go with assuming that Asahi is genuine. Past events be damned, each round of leadership should at least be parlayed with.
07:34 <Schism> Not a bad assumption.
07:35 <Cepheid> Worst case, we have another war.
07:35 <Cepheid> Best case, we get a foothold in stopping the expansionist behaviour.
07:35 <Cepheid> And either way?
07:36 <Cepheid> If you refuse, war is likely. If you accept, and they are actually malicious, war is likely.
07:36 <Schism> Probably not as deadly a war, either, as the Garlean military might was just kind of hit hard by the liberation of Ala Mhigan and Doman territories and, well, that whole Omega thing.
07:36 <Cepheid> Better to assume genuine, and err on the side of caution.
07:36 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
07:39 * Schism snickers at this fanfic, an AU which includes different colours of changelings which feed on different emotions. Pinks feed on joy. And they are terrifying.
07:42 <Cepheid> As for Yotsuyu, 'tis a dilemma. Again, she has lost her memories and her identity. Currently, she is a blank slate, and from there can be raised to be a better person than she once was. But on the other hand, people still want her dead for what she has done. There's other issues, as well.
07:42 <Cepheid> Such as, for example, whether one should tell an amnesiac who has no idea why they are being treated like a war criminal, what he or she has done prior to their memory loss.
07:43 <Schism> Indeed, and it's pretty clear what Gotetsu's stance on that is.
07:43 <Cepheid> He would prefer she remain oblivious.
07:43 <Cepheid> But, honestly? I think it would be better to tell her, up front. Sooner or later, she will learn the truth.
07:45 <Cepheid> Given her history, it is pretty much a 100% guarantee that she will encounter someone who will reveal the truth, in a harsh manner, and then attempt to kill her in vengeance.
07:45 * Ali gives Schism a reformed changling and flumps into a corner.
07:47 <Cepheid> What is it with these people and hating on dango?
07:47 <Cepheid> "Dango? How dreadful"
07:48 <Schism> Perhaps they've fallen victim to a certain Mi'qote's dango bombs.
07:48 <Cepheid> Probably.
07:51 <Cepheid> Hilariously, I just realized, Gogetsu is basically doing what I've been mentioning with regards to Yotsuyu. Being kind to her, among other things. Probably hoping that if her old memories return, that the ones created in their travels will result in a different person.
07:51 <Schism> Indeed. Though he might not be putting that too much thought into it: he might just see a young, innocent girl worth protecting.
07:51 <Cepheid> True.
07:52 <Schism> He's not exactly a deep thinker, that guy.
07:52 <Cepheid> I dunno, he seems kinda lost in thought about something.
07:53 <Cepheid> 'Course, he could just be contemplating why he is still alive.
07:53 <Schism> Mm, perhaps.
07:53 <Cepheid> Must be nice, knowing what comes in the future for me, and being able to go "Ho, hum" about it.
07:54 <Cepheid> ...

08:02 <Cepheid> Current analysis: Empire is staggered. Genuine desire for peace, but only because they've been put in a bad position. They will use it, however, to get to the WoL in some manner.
08:04 <Cepheid> Alas, only time will tell.
08:05 <Cepheid> As it is, it seems that Asahi, at the least, has it out for the Warrior of Light.
08:07 <Schism> Well, as you said, you deposed a lot of Garleans, took down Zenos, shook up the entire empire, etc. etc.
08:08 <Cepheid> Destroyed some super weapons.
08:09 <Schism> And were all but responsible for the state of his dear sister.
08:10 <Cepheid> More or less.
08:10 <Cepheid> Oh come on!
08:10 <Cepheid> I murdered him!
08:11 <Cepheid> Do I have to murder a corpse now!?
08:11 <Schism> You did so quite thoroughly, too.
08:11 <Schism> This is why you burn the bodies.
08:12 <Cepheid> Burn the body, scatter the ashes, then piss all over the spot he died upon.
08:12 <Cepheid> Hell, just throw it into the nearest volcano.
08:13 <Cepheid> Just to make sure.

08:15 <Cepheid> Heh.
08:16 <Cepheid> ... I kind of want Yotsuyu to remain a "good person" given her current personality.
08:18 * ConfusionRift sighs and jumps to Grim Dawn.
08:18 <Cepheid> What's wrong, Rifty?
08:18 <ConfusionRift> A lot in my mind, is all.
08:19 <Cepheid> You, my mother, my sister, my father, my friends.
08:19 <Cepheid> My mother's a tad concerned about my sister, since she, you know, got into a snowmobile accident.
08:19 <Cepheid> I wonder how long I can keep suppressing my concern before it gets to me.
08:21 <ConfusionRift> If it's a matter for concern, don't worry. I'm just thinking too much about other things that don't matter at the moment. Hence why I'm moving to playing something, to choke all of that.
08:22 <Cepheid> Sorry if my statement sounded concerning. It's just... I don't know how to explain my thoughts right now. I am concerned for those around me, but if I let that concern get to me, I'd become helpless. And I can't very well tell everyone around me to just start talking, to try and resolve their problems. I tried that in the past, and it didn't go well.

08:23 <Cepheid> The only way for me to function, so far, is for me to appear as what others would call "cold and uncaring."
08:24 *** Joins: RedHelper (PinkieP@Pony-26eufs.ca.comcast.net)
08:24 <Cepheid> Deep down, I am concerned. But I cannot act on those concerns, or I will find myself in a bad spot, benefiting no one.
08:24 <Cepheid> The human brain, it is weird.
08:24 <Cepheid> Mine more so, as it is fundamentally broken.
08:26 <ConfusionRift> That. That right there. The "concern of others" thing. THAT! That is the exact reason why I have been almost literally dead at work.
08:26 <Cepheid> Oh?
08:27 <ConfusionRift> So far, since the past couple of years, that has got me nothing but trouble and despair. From people (both coworkers and customers) calling me names, to far worse.
08:28 <Cepheid> Ah, that form of concern. Putting too much thought into what others have said, or say to you.
08:30 <Cepheid> She went to get a persimmon, didn't she?
08:30 <ConfusionRift> No. The point of being concerned enough to try to help out and putting one's all in that problem, just so they turn around and stab you for a mistake that was out of your control, or by some variable that was added later that put you in the wrong spot and they are now using that as a point to destroy you morally and mentally.
08:31 <ConfusionRift> Oh great, I'm falling in that pit again. Nope! Putting the game on and choking that right now.
08:31 <Cepheid> To be honest, I'm not shocked. My experiences with Walmart, and from what I hear of their practices, the workplace is basically cutthroat, and encourages such cutthroat behaviour. If I'm being honest, I'm shocked that you've managed as long as you have.
08:31 <Cepheid> Yes, please do.
08:32 <ConfusionRift> Sorry for that outburst. Please go on with whatever it was you and Schism were doing.
08:32 <Cepheid> My apologies.

08:34 <ConfusionRift> That aside... Homestead is huge.
08:35 <ConfusionRift> Like, one objective took me so long to get to, and the quest ended in like 5 minutes... but the trip went for like an hour.
08:36 <Cepheid> Yep. Homestead is a large area.
08:36 <Cepheid> It basically serves as the next major hub of the game.
08:36 <Cepheid> Truth told, I think you can actually skip all of the Warden Krieg stuff. Not 100% sure, as I've never tried, but... yeah.
08:38 <Cepheid> For the record, the blacksmiths at each town have different effects.

08:50 <ConfusionRift> Do... do I really have to run through the shocky-shocky fields?
08:51 <Cepheid> Which direction from town? North-east?
08:53 <Cepheid> Schism. Why would Asahi even TRUST his sister at this point?
08:54 <ConfusionRift> At the moment, yes. I went through the whole of rotten croplands to the gruesome harvest. I can't find this objective. I found a fenced area, but I can't go through it and it's infected with ethereal energy.
08:54 <Cepheid> Oh. Okay.
08:54 <Cepheid> You've forgotten a quest or two somewhere.
08:54 *** Quits: HoneyDrops (Honey@sweeter.than.honey) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
08:54 <Cepheid> But you're going in the right direction.
08:54 <Cepheid> I was worried you headed into the Conflagration.
08:54 <ConfusionRift> North-east near the Homestead is also infected.
08:55 <ConfusionRift> That's the only other quest remaining!
08:55 <ConfusionRift> Aside from the amalgamation, which I'm trying to get to.
08:55 <Cepheid> You should be able to get into the fenced area, then.
08:55 <ConfusionRift> ...
08:55 <Cepheid> I don't think it's a bug.
08:55 <ConfusionRift> Okay? Let me recheck.
08:55 <Cepheid> Let me see the map you have uncovered.

08:58 <ConfusionRift> Gonna check that fence again.
08:58 <Cepheid> Okay, you got the Amalgamation quest. Unfortunately?
08:59 <ConfusionRift> ...yeah?
08:59 <Cepheid> That little fence far, deep into the Gruesome Harvest *IS* where you have to go.
08:59 <ConfusionRift> ...
09:00 <Cepheid> Just beeline it.
09:00 <Cepheid> If you beeline it, it's quick and easy. Don't stop to kill everything.
09:01 <Cepheid> I wonder if you couldn't poke it due to the controller stuff. It's clear using a controller introduces a few collision issues with poking stuff.
09:05 <ConfusionRift> ...
09:06 <Cepheid> What?
09:06 * ConfusionRift sighs as he opens the gate.
09:06 <Cepheid> Hey, coulda been worse.
09:06 <Cepheid> Relax, and murder that mosnter.
09:07 <ConfusionRift> I have to be RIGHT on the fence, in contrast with the other gates which I have to be near then. Oh well. (equips twin pistols) MURDER TIME!
09:07 <Cepheid> Again, probably something with the controller setup. Game was not designed initially with controllers in mind.
09:07 <Cepheid> They were added after release and an expansion.
09:09 <Cepheid> Truth told, I'm not 100% sold on them releasing a console port, still. That was announced a while back, and very little progress about it is ever reported.
09:09 <ConfusionRift> I should also point out that the fence is covered in ethereal energy as well, so I can't stand there for too long. It discourages someone to just run to the fence, faceplant it, and open it. Also... the only area I have ever seen that's just fenced like that.
09:09 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah.
09:10 <Cepheid> I actually poked the devs about that, the aetherfire.
09:10 <ConfusionRift> All other similar fences are barriers.
09:10 <Cepheid> Apparently, the percentage-based damage with no ability to resist is intended.
09:10 <Cepheid> Only way to counter it is to rush in and use a potion, or...
09:10 <Cepheid> Have health regen through the bloody roof.
09:11 <ConfusionRift> I suspected it would be a feature. This little thing... can leave some kinda scratching their heads, aside from the map continuing past the gate.
09:12 <Cepheid> Again, game isn't designed with controllers in mind. It is easily more apparent that the gate opens when you can mouse over it, instead of having to hobble around and face the right way.
09:12 <Cepheid> Especially since you can mouse over it from safety.
09:18 <Cepheid> I see what you mean about Maxima, Schism.
09:21 <Cepheid> Oh gods. An 8-man.
10:01 <Cepheid> Geezus cripes. Madness.

11:16 <Cepheid> How goes the loot pinata, ConfusionRift?
11:22 <ConfusionRift> There's always a loot pinata, especially with them totems. :P
11:28 <ConfusionRift> 25 minutes to get to the amalgamation, took it out in 2.
11:34 <Cepheid> What'd you do? Kill everything along the way?
11:37 <ConfusionRift> No, it just takes a while to get to it from the rift. And the confrontations in between aren't something I can ignore for very long, especially since most enemies will speed up to you if you left them follow you for too long, and then get in the way.
11:39 <ConfusionRift> Either way, the fight with the amalgamation was incredibly short in comparison to the trip to it.
11:39 <ConfusionRift> I know it's always the case... but seems to be glaring here.
11:40 * ConfusionRift might still be a bit bothered by the great wooden gate of closure. Then shrugs. :P
11:45 <Cepheid> Right, so I just loaded the game, warped to that portal, ran without fighting anything along the way, took minimal damage, and killed the Amalgamation, in 5 minutes. Next time just run. :P
11:46 <Cepheid> The bugs will speed up, yeah, but when you pull them into the Gruesome Harvest, the Aetherials will start fighting with them.
11:46 <Cepheid> Keeps them off of you.
11:46 <ConfusionRift> Wait...
11:47 <Cepheid> The enemy factions will fight.
11:47 <Cepheid> Aetherials hate Beasts, and vice versa.
11:47 <Cepheid> If they encounter one another, they will start to fight.
11:47 * ConfusionRift sighs. He's playing like an absolute idiot right now. "Why did I follow the roads? I could've just passed by the woods near it."
11:48 <ConfusionRift> Oh well. Got loot, which turns to cash. So all is goood.
11:48 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:48 <Cepheid> You try one of the Key Doors yet?
11:49 <ConfusionRift> Like, the dungeon, or the ones by the sunken ruins?
11:50 <Cepheid> Dungeon.
11:50 <Cepheid> There's several areas that have a door that's locked by a skeleton key.
11:50 <Cepheid> They're... special.
11:51 <Cepheid> Basically, you use a skeleton key to open the door, and go in. Door closes behind you. You can't use your portal. You have to clear the area behind it in that particular instance of selecting "start game." Die, you have to go to the menu, select "start game" again, craft a new key, and start over.
11:51 <Cepheid> They're called rogue-like dungeons. Rewards are usually worth the trouble though.
11:52 <Cepheid> You're usually guaranteed at least one crafting recipe, and at least one epic. There's a good chance for legendaries, when you get to that point.
11:52 <ConfusionRift> I have only found one, by the ruins. Haven't jumped in, since the keys apparently are consumed or some such. Either way, had a feeling it would be one of the- oh, roguelike dungeons. Yeah, I'm terrible at that sort of thing.
11:52 <Cepheid> That said, farming totems is also a good way to grab some good loot.
11:53 <Cepheid> Especially since, with respect to loot, the totem gives player-level-appropriate loot, while spawning area-level-appropriate monsters.
11:55 <Cepheid> And honestly, I'd advise farming them while you can. I foresee a nerf near the end of May/Early June.
11:55 <Cepheid> Anyways, I need to take a shower, so back in 15.

23:03 <RichardMist> Cepheid oh
23:07 <Schism> Phew. Work complete.
23:07 * Schism provides Cepheid with a moonbunny.
23:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3333 [ http://tinyurl.com/yalnytxc ]
23:14 * Cepheid pets moonbunny.
23:14 <Cepheid> Bah. I'm in a weird mood.
23:14 <Cepheid> I want to discuss computers, but in an explanatory sense.
23:14 <RichardMist> Schism hmm Schism, oh moonbunny?
23:14 <Cepheid> Like, just explaining complex topics in simple ways to teach.
23:14 <Cepheid> ...Maybe I should consider being a teacher at some point in my life.
23:14 <Schism> Hm, Steam is offline.
23:18 <Cepheid> Hum.
23:18 <Cepheid> I need to refactor this text rendering code. It works, but it's finicky.
23:21 * Schism hums, and casually clears a couple dozen gigs worth of data he's not using.
23:34 <Cepheid> Mmm. That's better. Shader's stored in with the font, and each font has it's own shader and sprite batcher, so no need to call a centralized system to draw text.
23:34 <Cepheid> Can just poke the font instance itself.
23:36 <Cepheid> Hmm. To implement outlines that are of a consistent size regardless of point size..
23:46 <Cepheid> And there we go.
23:47 <Cepheid> Need to rework the SDF, though.
23:47 <Cepheid> ... No, wait, I don't.
23:51 <Cepheid> My brain is trying to comprehend something.
23:51 <Cepheid> Hmm. I wonder how that variant of SDF would appear.
23:51 * Cepheid commits code, then creates a fork to test a different SDF approach.
23:53 * Schism considers what it would take, in terms of spellcraft, to create a mattress with a dial upon it, which could be adjusted at a moment's notice to a given firmness.
23:54 * Ali blehs, really could use a distraction
