00:06 <Cepheid> Results in slightly different artifacting. Faster to generate.
00:06 <Cepheid> Leads to larger images.
00:12 <Cepheid> Right, with that in mind, I'm going back to the old code.
00:13 <Cepheid> Hmm.
00:15 <Cepheid> No. The effect I'm seeing is normal, based on the SIGGRAPH paper I'm reading.
00:15 <Cepheid> That said, I do need to thread this code.
00:15 <Cepheid> Fortunately for me, threading is part of C++ as of C++11, so I don't have to use any OS-specific API.
00:32 <Finwe> o3o
00:32 * Finwe distracts Ali.
00:34 * Ali curls into Finwe
00:37 <Cepheid> I made a mistake.
00:37 <Cepheid> This is more complicated than I am used to.
00:37 <Cepheid> That said, I call it a mistake, but it's a happy one.
00:37 <Schism> That's how you learn.
00:38 <Finwe> Uhh, it's terribly late already.
00:38 <Finwe> !lullaby
00:38 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed
00:38 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby
00:38 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
00:38 <Finwe> !shoo
00:38 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"
00:38 <Finwe> The best lullaby ever.
00:38 <Cepheid> That's pretty much it, Schism.
00:39 <Schism> Hm. 5th of May. Well, sobeit.
00:39 <Cepheid> Here, what I need, is some sort of way of being notified when any single thread is completed.
00:39 <Cepheid> So I can then schedule the thread to do something else.
00:39 <Finwe> Schism: Nononononono, the 6th of May.
00:40 * Schism is ded. https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/900124/how-to-sum-up-a-characters-existence-in-five-panels
00:40 <Cepheid> Hmm..
00:41 <Cepheid> A semaphore could do what I want.
00:44 <Schism> By the way, Cephy, once you get into ShB, there will also be another list of 999-gil teleport destinations. So, Kugane might not be the location for which you'd want to set your free teleport.
00:45 <Cepheid> Oh bah.
00:45 <Cepheid> Semaphores aren't available in C++17. They appear in C++20. I can still do it, though.
00:45 <Schism> Meh, you can reset them at whim.
00:45 <Schism> Oh.
00:46 <Cepheid> Semaphores can be implemented through synchronized access to a global variable.
00:47 <Cepheid> This would be easier, and cleaner, if I could use C#, but there's no reasonable, up-to-date bindings of FreeType. Almost debating implementing a proper implementation.
00:51 <Cepheid> But that's another project, and unrelated to the game, which I should be focused on.
01:00 <Cepheid> I'll finish this later. Gaming time. Mother insists.

03:45 <Cyan_Spark> owo sausage
03:45 <Cepheid> Why haven't they shut down OpenMW yet? Not that I want them too, but...
03:46 <Schism> Isn't it a client which requires the base game to run?
03:47 <Schism> Not that Bethesda have done their best to shut down the mod community of late, or anything, what with their live service bull.
03:48 <Cepheid> Yeah. You need the base content to use it. But Bethesda strikes me as the type of company to litigate anyway.
03:48 <Schism> Well, so are ID--oh god.
03:49 <Schism> Maybe they just don't think it's worthwhile to litigate. And it wouldn't be, so they'd be smart there.
03:50 <Cepheid> Possibly.
03:52 <Schism> It's freaking midnight, I'll be back in a few hours (hopefully).
03:53 <PinkieShy> Apparently the first animal crossing on Gamecube is worth the most o.o
03:53 <PinkieShy> Some shops is offering $50 for it lol
03:53 <PinkieShy> I would never sell it though
03:54 <Schism> Considering that they would turn back around and sell it for $300, I'd imagine not.
03:55 * Schism sighs, and goes back to sleep.
03:56 <PinkieShy> If it ever fails on me..
03:56 <PinkieShy> I would probably just put up in a collection case or something.

08:14 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe.
08:14 <Cepheid> Redacted cause spoilers.
08:15 <Cepheid> Huh. Final boss okf Forgotten Gods is classified as a superboss.
08:22 <Cepheid> I find that interesting given that the final bosses of the base game are classified as "Boss". The classification affects their defenses.

09:08 <Cepheid> And yeah, it's a nova effect. Let me see now, does it repel...?
09:10 <Cepheid> Right, the website just froze my tablet.
09:11 <Cepheid> 4.8 meter radius, does low vitality and acid damage, extremely high acid damage over five seconds, and reduces their offensive ability for 5 seconds.
09:14 <Cepheid> Morgoneth's visage. It's Morgoth's helmet.
09:18 <Cepheid> This game likes it's Lord of the Rings references.
09:18 <Cepheid> You should have seen a few by now if you were particularly thorough in your explorations.
09:20 <Cepheid> Gollus the Deepdweller. He's a reference to Gollum. Ungoliax, the Gloomweaver. She's a reference to Ungoliant the Unlight. Shelleb, the Darkness is a reference to Shelob.
09:20 <ConfusionRift> I think I did see a few.
09:22 <Cepheid> If you went south before heading north to Homestead after the Gulch, you most certainly ran into Shelleb and Ungoliax.
09:22 <Cepheid> Gollus can be found in the bug lair in the farms.
09:22 <Cepheid> I'm not sure if Sauron is referenced anywhere.
09:27 <Cepheid> Huh. No Sauron.
09:29 <Cepheid> "Mildly Amusing Box" - Helm.
09:33 <Cepheid> Geezus. Some of these items..
09:34 <Cepheid> Nothing funny in shoulder armor.
09:36 <Cepheid> There's an armor that has a skill that, when used, deals 30% of your health in damage. To yourself.
09:37 <Cepheid> Oh, no, wait. I misread.
09:37 <Cepheid> It reduces your offensive and defensive abilities by 10%, and increases your armor by -30%.
09:37 <ConfusionRift> Increases... by -30...
09:38 <ConfusionRift> Oh right. This game does that.
09:40 <Cepheid> It's joke armor.
09:40 <Cepheid> It's so bad that it's the only legendary chest armor you can use at level 1.
09:42 <Cepheid> Gloves... there's a counterpart to the cauldron.
09:44 <Cepheid> Frizzick's Utility Pack. I actually got this one. "Worked wonders for Frizzick until it ran out of zombie repellant."
09:46 <Cepheid> Tinker's Ingenuity. "Every tool known to man, somehow contained within a single belt."
09:47 <Cepheid> String of Maggots. "A proud trophy of conquests."
09:48 <Cepheid> And then we come to the pants. With the...
09:48 <Cepheid> Soiled Pants.
09:48 <Cepheid> Well, Soiled Trousers.
09:48 <Cepheid> "The previous owner seems to have left a little surprise in the seat of these trousers." It allows you to throw ****.
09:48 <Cepheid> I have three pairs, for some reason.
09:50 <Cepheid> Pretty Great Pants. "Actually, they're just ok."
09:50 <Cepheid> ...
09:50 <Cepheid> Granted Skill: "Shimmering Splendor (100% chance on hit)" "The splendor of these pants is too great to behold." It confuses enemies within an 8-meter radius for 5 seconds.
09:51 <Cepheid> There's an upgraded version of them. "Turns out, still ok."
09:52 <Cepheid> Rifthound Leather Boots. "Good for nothing beasts, but they make great boots."
10:04 <ConfusionRift> Oh... I'm barely moving to act 4... hoooboy.
10:05 <Cepheid> Where does that leave you right now?
10:05 <Cepheid> Oh. Huh.
10:05 <Cepheid> The One Ring does make an appearance.
10:06 <Cepheid> Prime Ring of Morgoneth. "The Ring of Grand Magus Morgoneth whispers to you in a cursed tongue. Through this ring, Morgoneth's command over the other magi was said to be absolute." Sounds like they confused Sauron and Morgoth.
10:07 * Filly_Nightmares curls up wif Finwe head
10:07 * Filly_Nightmares meow
10:18 <ConfusionRift> Probably on purpose... and probably a mistake, especially since that's one mistake others have made in other references. :P
10:20 <ConfusionRift> Wait... there's level scaling?!
10:20 <Cepheid> Yes, a bit of it.
10:21 <Cepheid> There are lower and upper ranges.
10:21 <Cepheid> Plus some areas give monsters a 1-3 level boost over you.
10:23 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, I see. I had to deal with Crowley's Hideout on my lower 30s, so I thought going back so I could get easy dynamite was a good idea... it wasn't. Everyone's level 39-42.
10:23 <Cepheid> It also happens with gear. There is basic gear, then empowered, and then mythical.
10:23 <Cepheid> But yeah that is a thing too.
10:24 <Cepheid> Though, I think Cronley's Hideout tops out in the lower 40s. So from there on you should be fine.
10:25 <Cepheid> Yeah. Level 40 for normal/veteran.

11:06 <Cepheid> Either way, it doesn't matter though. You don't kill them, they sacrifice themselves or innocents. You do kill them, their blood gets spilled anyway. Rip and tear, and if any bad comes of it? Rip and tear some more.
11:07 <Cepheid> Or in your case, shoot and execute.
11:09 <ConfusionRift> Well, the thing is that our actions are not done to apiece or empower any god, much less as an offeriiiiiing- I just thought of something.
11:10 <ConfusionRift> There are chances that by killing one of them, a monster could spawn in their place. What if... their blood summoned that creature?

11:10 <Cepheid> Hmm?
11:12 <ConfusionRift> More bloodfools, more monsters, more spawns, more shootin'. (shrugs) Such is life within the Grim Dawn.
11:14 <Cepheid> Interestingly, it seems the game utilizes a number of special cases of monsters.
11:15 <Cepheid> Some have multiple variants. A scalable variant, followed by variants for special cases. Like being level 15+, 25+, etc.

18:43 <Schism> Besides, I still have yet to play much Dungeon Keeper.
18:44 <Finwe> You just need to answer whether you knew about EG2 being launched this year, where you live and how old you are.
18:44 <Finwe> But yes, free GOG version is even better.
18:45 <Schism> I might even have an unlinked copy on Humble.

22:59 <Schism> Right. FedEx can choke on my fluffy tail.
23:04 <Cepheid> Oh?
23:04 <Cepheid> Spitfire is getting weird. Marking everything.
23:05 <Schism> Driver stops in parking lot. Driver opens door, looks at package. Shoves package back in truck and drives off.
23:05 <Cepheid> ... Whut
23:05 <Schism> After taking a moment - ONE moment - to paste the notice on the front door, without even looking at the intercom system.
23:06 <Schism> Forget these jerks, this package is going to the pickup point down the street and I'll grab it on Sunday.
23:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Discussion: One of Starlight Glimmer's Alternate Timelines is Now G5. Which Do You Want? [ http://tinyurl.com/y7vyv4xm ]
23:07 <Cepheid> What the hell.
23:09 <Cepheid> It's pretty sad when a local delivery service is more reliable than one of the big ones. Anything ordered via Amazon comes through a local service called Intelcom.
23:11 <Cepheid> They are pretty reliable too. They not only notify you when the package is out for delivery, but they notify you when the package is expected to arrive within the next 3 hours, and finally, when they deliver the product. They even take a picture to show it was delivered, and where they left it.
23:11 <Schism> Oh! Oh wait! It's even better than I thought!
23:11 <Schism> Fedex driver didn't even leave a note!
23:11 <Schism> Just flew off and damn the consequences.
23:12 <Cepheid> Only issue we had with them has been the same issue affecting any other delivery service(food for example), which is that there is another street nearby that seems to confuse people with ours.
23:12 <Cepheid> So sometimes food or packages get delivered there, and vice versa.
23:12 <Schism> Mmm. Which is excusable, if that's a common concern.
23:12 <Cepheid> Been less occurrences of that as of late though.
23:13 <Schism> It's not like they even drive off without making even a token effort... gah. I'm sorry. I'm annoyed.
23:13 <Cepheid> So I wonder if the street was renamed, or map notes added to systems.
23:13 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know, I know. What was in the package?
23:13 <Schism> Pair of shoes.
23:14 <Cepheid> Ah.
23:14 <Schism> The .ca website is a lot less busy than the .uk one.
23:14 <Schism> Or the .com.
23:14 <Schism> Barely took a week to reach me and for the FedEx driver to completely torque me off.
23:15 <Cepheid> Worst part is, since he left no ticket, you have no info on the driver either.
23:16 <Cepheid> All you have is the package, the date, the location, and the time at which the driver arrived.
23:16 <Schism> Eh, that's not included in the door tag anyway.
23:16 <Schism> I know this because the driver yesterday actually DID take the time to write one.
23:16 <Cepheid> Ah.

23:22 <RichardMist> (http://tinyurl.com/y7vyv4xm) Heh pretty interesting, I just watched that episode and whoa, post about it
23:23 <RichardMist> Cepheid what is this?
23:24 <Schism> Looks like some applied latex paint over a deviled egg serving dish and then just peeled it off.
23:25 <RichardMist> Schism oh, that's pretty smart idea
23:25 <Cepheid> That is actually someone's paint holder, etc.
23:26 <Cepheid> Holder, mixer and the like. You can see evidence of color mixing.
23:26 <Schism> Oh, a palette. Hah, that makes more sense.
23:26 <RichardMist> okie
23:28 <Cepheid> That was them cleaning it off. Since it is latex paint on a non-porous surface, it kinda just peels off.
23:28 * RichardMist *gives Ali The diamond crown"
23:28 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/pmf480gz55x41.png As a programmer who likes to validate inputs, I hate Elon Musk even more now.
23:28 <RichardMist> oh, I think Rarity will appreciate it
23:30 <RichardMist> Cepheid lol, I think some sites will not support that name's character set :>
23:31 <Cepheid> You can actually input those characters in text editors on websites.
23:31 <RichardMist> yep
23:31 <Cepheid> Actually now that I think about it...
23:32 <Cepheid> That only applies to his name. Which should be accepted no problem.
23:32 <Cepheid> It's the username and passwords which are validated.
23:32 <Cepheid> Though...
23:33 <RichardMist> But, STILL, I think that name not suitable
23:33 <Cepheid> You'd still want to validate the names anyways, to avoid certain inputs from appearing inside the code.
23:33 <RichardMist> yep
23:34 <RichardMist> :p
23:36 * RichardMist *gives AppleDash a well-made chocolate muffin*
23:36 <Cepheid> Are you a programmer, by chance? You seem to know a bit more about the idea of validation than most newbie programmers I've encountered.
23:37 <RichardMist> yep
23:37 <Cepheid> What languages, might I ask?
23:39 <Cepheid> Or, rather, what's the usual language you use?
23:40 <Schism> Hum. You'd think that æ and many of those would be more common.
23:41 <Cepheid> You'd think, but because of the simplification of language attributes and character sets when developing English over the centuries, it was removed due to being extraneous, presumably.
23:41 <Cepheid> The characters "ae" are sufficient for representing it.
23:43 <Schism> Tis true.
23:44 <RichardMist> Sometimes you must change character decoding set, mostly C based langugage
23:45 <RichardMist> or It will be cyrillyc
23:45 <RichardMist> and Python is ok with that
23:47 <RichardMist> and yep I like Python bacause it's good at neural AI
23:47 <Cepheid> That's fine.
23:47 <Cepheid> Ah, and yeah, that makes it even more fine.
23:47 <Cepheid> Python in general seems to be popular for AI.
23:47 <RichardMist> It's most comfortable for AI
23:47 <Cepheid> So I won't judge in that regard.
23:47 <Cepheid> Funny thing, I don't actually know Python.
23:47 <RichardMist> that's because most using it
23:48 <Cepheid> Plus, it's better than compiled languages due to... issues with them.
23:48 <Cepheid> Namely, many of them lack support for half-precision floats.
23:48 <Cepheid> Which are common in AI.
23:48 <RichardMist> Cepheid C based language is not very good
23:49 <RichardMist> It has the problem with optimization
23:49 <Cepheid> Mmm. Depends on purpose.
23:49 <Cepheid> Again, AI is a bit of a problem with compiled languages because of the need to implement support for half-precision floats and other things, such as optimizatons, as you stated.
23:49 <RichardMist> Especially with code management
23:50 <RichardMist> Cepheid yeh, optimization and stability by first
23:50 <Cepheid> I can see that.
23:51 <Cepheid> Myself, I tend to focus around C++ and C#. I have experience with Java, and a number of other languages, though. Jack-of-all-trades, master of none.
23:51 <Cepheid> Though technically I guess I'm a master of C and C++.
23:51 <Cepheid> Don't ask me about metaprogramming in C++ though.
23:51 <RichardMist> I don't like C
23:52 <RichardMist> But still Neural AI is not perfect
23:52 <Cepheid> C isn't an easy language to learn, yes.
23:52 <RichardMist> yep
23:53 <Cepheid> I've actually started drifting away from C and C++ because they're not quite... adapting to the future of programming I find.
23:53 <RichardMist> I recomment C#, it's more optimized that other C's

23:55 <Cepheid> I'd.... debate that.
23:55 <DBB> Bah, this internet.
23:56 * Schism mlems a glass of water.
23:56 <Cepheid> C and C++ are compiled languages, their performance can outperform C# easily.
23:56 <Cepheid> And for conventional programs, that is, not super-specialized like neural AI for example..
23:56 <Cepheid> They can be optimized quite heavily.
23:56 <DBB> Eh, C# is /kinda/ compiled. Better than scripting, anyway
23:56 <Cepheid> Yeah.

23:56 *** DBB is now known as DataByte
23:56 <Cepheid> Similar to Java, though somehow better performing.
23:57 <RichardMist> C and C++ is simplier
23:57 <DataByte> heh
23:57 <Cepheid> RichardMist: TO put it in simpler terms, C and C++ are closer to the hardware than C#.
23:57 <RichardMist> Soo, you can't write advanced programs on it
23:57 <DataByte> Yep :]
23:57 <DataByte> Huh?
23:57 <Cepheid> Nah.
23:57 <Cepheid> You can write some pretty advanced **** in C and C+.
23:57 <Cepheid> Er, C++.
23:57 <Cepheid> In fact, there's stuff that C and C++ can do that C# can't.
23:58 <DataByte> You can totally write complicated stuff - takes longer, but it will perform better in C/C++ than C#
23:58 <DataByte> Then again, you don't generally need the extra performance a lot of the time, hence why Java/C# are so big
23:58 <ADragonDreaming> Oh, are talking about the scale of where programming languages fall on closeness to human language vs. machine language?
23:58 <Cepheid> Nah.
23:58 <RichardMist> Well I do not know, I still don't like C language, Python is best for me
23:59 <Cepheid> To each their own, Richard.
23:59 <ADragonDreaming> job posting: 8 years experience in Swift required
23:59 <DataByte> Python is used by math people a lot - mostly because you don't need to understand the low-level machine stuff to get your math right
23:59 <DataByte> usually
23:59 <RichardMist> Cepheid If I appreciate C# doesn't mean I like it
