00:00 <Cepheid> About a 10 FPS drop.

00:00 <RichardMist> as I said with Wine better

00:01 <RichardMist> by 10 after 2 years, not bad

00:02 <RichardMist> Cepheid may that DXVK be launched without wine, direct on windows? Cepheid

00:03 <Cepheid> DXVK is already out.  It is primarily used with Wine.  Valve's Proton uses it.  It isn't the Microsoft thing I mentioned earlier, in case you are confusing it with that.

00:04 <Cepheid> It's an independent effort to implement DirectX11+ over Vulkan, for purposes of gaming with Wine.

00:04 <Cepheid> Ironically the Wine devs hate it.

00:05 <Cepheid> They would prefer people use VKD3D, their own implementation, instead.

00:06 <RichardMist> Cepheid https://youtu.be/V2_LlSaYNUo I don't know why but on that video DXVK wins Windows DX12 by 60 FPS!

00:06 <RichardMist> benchmark*

00:07 <RichardMist> maybe for some games it's better, for some worse

00:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Discussion: Which Episode Would You Show Someone to Convince Them the Show is Good?  [ http://tinyurl.com/y9cnnjuc ]

00:09 <Cepheid> Could be underlying differences in resource usage between Linux and Windows.

00:10 <Cepheid> Or even application-specific optimizations.  DXVK does that.

00:10 <RichardMist> Cepheid yep, pufified windows vs DXVK linux

00:11 <RichardMist> that will be most accurate countings

00:11 <Cepheid> Less that and more kernel-level stuff.

00:12 <Cepheid> Different memory management techniques.  Page eviction techniques.  Threading.  Task management.

00:13 <RichardMist> yeah basic things

00:13 <Cepheid> And some things outsider of Microsoft's control, like driver internals.

00:14 <RichardMist> Cepheid yep maybe it will be the best because linux can be "task concentrated"

00:14 <RichardMist> and may do that faster with his kernel

00:15 <Cepheid> Hard to say.  With the Windows kernel being closed source, we cannot investigate various bits for performance issues or differences.

00:16 <RichardMist> Cepheid yep but we may investigate with tracking

00:17 <RichardMist> that's pretty strange, isn't it? : https://youtu.be/-5CbWvvY7EM

00:18 <RichardMist> nvidia still does optimizations and fixes

00:19 <Cepheid> Of course.

00:19 <Cepheid> Anyhow, I'm gonna head to bed now.

00:20 <RichardMist> okie, goodnight Cepheid

00:20 <RichardMist> have a good dreams

00:20 <Cepheid> Good night.  And I'll try.

00:21 <RichardMist> ok

00:57 <PinkieShy> I am stressing as the grill doesn't say it reduces fat or not like george foreman grills do.. I know its a searing grill with drip tray but yea.. :/

00:57 <PinkieShy> I don't want to get something that doesn't reduce fat which would mean switching to a different type would increase my fat intake..

00:57 <PinkieShy> I can't seem to find anything online that says all grills reduce fat like george foreman ones do.. :(

04:38 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and PrincessRainbows, Messrs PinkieShy, Cepheid, Divide|Adagio and Heartbreak.

04:38 * Finwe doffs his hat.

04:38 * Ali snuggles into the Finwe

04:38 * Finwe hugs the Ali.

04:39 * PrincessRainbows licks Finwe so much because is birfday filly

04:40 <Finwe> Yay!

04:40 <Finwe> Happy birthday, PrincessRainbows!

04:40 * Finwe clomps PrincessRainbows.

04:41 * PrincessRainbows uses her party hat as a horn

04:44 * Finwe ruffles the quasiunicorn.

04:45 * PrincessRainbows is now alicorn filly!

05:52 <Cepheid> This time, I didn't wake up because of coughing.  I woke up because my noise dried out and itched like a witch.

05:52 <Cepheid> Turns out it was full of pollen.

05:52 <Ali> at 2am?  Seems an odd time for that.

05:57 *** Joins: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

05:57 <Cepheid> Built up over the day.  Hit critical mass while I was asleep.

05:57 <Cepheid> Resolution was to do a nasal rinse.

06:01 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/qncp0jtmxtz41.jpg

06:02 <Cepheid> I wonder what the probability of running into Spitfires siblings are.  Assuming they still aren't living with the owners we got him from.

06:04 <Ali> Sometimes I sort of wish I could start over with Tia and Luna

06:04 <Ali> They're so damn skiddish and refused to be touched or held.

06:07 * Finwe pets Ali's cats.

06:08 * PrincessRainbows flops over Ali and makes sleepy little filly noises

06:10 * Finwe blankets on PrincessRainbows.

06:13 <Cepheid> Spitfire these days doesn't like being held or picked up.

06:13 * PrincessRainbows hugs her Finwe blankie

06:15 <Cepheid> Used to like it.  Not so much.  The rest of his behavior, hell if I know what's going on.  Aside from being slightly more attached to him, I've been treating him in much the same way as Simba.  His personality is still wildly different though.

06:16 <Ali> I feel like these cats can't make up their mind

06:16 <Ali> They want pets

06:16 <Ali> But then run the moment I look at them

06:16 * PrincessRainbows just trots off. Nini

06:18 <Cepheid> Out of curiosity, where do you spend most of your time sitting?  Where are you sitting when they most try to interact with you?

06:18 <Cepheid> And what are you sitting on?

06:18 *** Joins: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-k1o.irn.56.193.IP)

06:18 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

06:18 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:19 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.

06:19 <Finwe> o7

06:19 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

06:19 * Finwe briefly deblankets in order to be able to salute.

06:20 <Ali> Just a rocking chair at my PC

06:20 <Cepheid> Ah, he lives!

06:20 <Ali> When they were little I would hold them and they'd be just fine with it

06:20 <Cepheid> Okay, that may be part of it then.

06:20 <Ali> Now they want nothing to do with this chair or me at times

06:23 <Cepheid> Rocking chairs make creaking noises and such.  Moreso if one decides to stop and lean over while seated in one.  Makes a lot of noise.  Source: I've had a few rocking chairs in my life.  Good, solid ones make less noise, but movement will still cause creaking and other noise due to grinding into the floor.

06:23 <Finwe> Ali the crazy (but cute) cat mare.

06:23 <Finwe> o3o

06:24 <Cepheid> My cats freak out about the noise my mother's chair in the living room makes when anyone leans over the side to reach something.  Or pulls the lever for the foot rest.

06:25 <Cepheid> And my old computer chair would make a loud ker-klunk noise when I shifted to one side or the other.  Spooked Spitfire a lot.

06:26 <Cepheid> Cats do not like sudden noises.  Especially later in life.

06:26 <Cepheid> Kittens, not so much, because BRAVERY!  Exploration!  Curiosity!  Still spooks 'em from time to time, but not as much.

06:28 * ConfusionRift makes a really loud and constant creaking sound as he leans back.

06:30 <Cepheid> Truth told, Spitfire got especially bad after last year's unexplained noise incident.

06:31 <Cepheid> Couldn't even have my window open at the same time as he was on my lap today.  Wind blowing my curtains spooked him.  Random noises outside spooked him.  Especially the screeching kids.

06:34 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7

06:36 <Cepheid> In any case, Ali?  Likely the rocking chair spooking them.  Especially when you go to lean over and pet them.  Their skittishness meanwhile could be the result of external sudden noises.  Like storms, fireworks, or yahoos with no firearm safety in mind.

06:37 <Ali> Cepheid, I'm more skiddish then they are

06:38 <Ali> You already know my weaknesses to loud noises and thunderstorms and idiots shooting off fireworks

06:38 <Ali> God I hope this July 4th will be quiet...

06:38 <Ali> But with everyone already cancelling public onies

06:38 <Cepheid> That too could be spooking them.  Or even influencing them.  Sudden jolting from noises, etc.

06:38 <Ali> I'm sure its going to be 200% worse this year since the yahoo's can't go watch it somewhere else.

06:39 * PrincessRainbows hugs and licks ConfusionRift and then makes silly filly noises

06:39 <Cepheid> If what I experienced over the weekend is any indication...  You're still gonna hear fireworks and such.

06:39 <Cepheid> Fireworks were going up every evening all weekend.

06:40 * ConfusionRift huggles PrincessRainbows for a bit, and then pets. :P

06:41 * PrincessRainbows is birthday pone today

06:41 <PrincessRainbows> Yay

06:42 <Cepheid> Guh.  I should eat something.  Stomach is complaining of being empty.

06:43 * PrincessRainbows is still sleepy little filly so curls up under ConfusionRift with her pacifier and a plushie

06:44 <ConfusionRift> YAY! (huggles PrincessRainbows) Happy B-day! :P (sings the usual copyrighted birthday song)

06:44 <Cepheid> Bowl of cereal and raspberries.

06:45 <Cepheid> Hum.  My birthday is next Wednesday.

06:45 <ConfusionRift> Mine is next month. Pfffttt.

06:45 <Cepheid> The song is in the public domain last I heard, Rifty. :P

06:46 <ConfusionRift> They changed it? o_0

06:46 * Finwe sings Dragonborn Comes to PrincessRainbows. o3o

06:46 <Finwe> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnXD6FRZtn0

06:46 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Skyrim - The Dragonborn Comes - Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra \/ Sabina Zweiacker

06:46 <Cepheid> Back in 2016.

06:47 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "Yeah, I guess I'm still bothered by it." :P

06:47 <Finwe> Which song? Happy Birthday?

06:47 <ConfusionRift> Yep.

06:48 <Finwe> It's from 1893.

06:48 <Cepheid> Yeah.  But people claimed copyright up until 2016.

06:48 <Cepheid> When courts declared it public domain.

06:49 <ConfusionRift> That's why if you see any movie that were within the time of copyright, till then, they all have the song within the credits as copyrighted.

06:50 <Cepheid> And why English+language restaurants never sang it.

06:50 <ConfusionRift> Those that used the Birthday song, that is.

06:50 <Finwe> In EU any copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author.

06:50 <ConfusionRift> Well, they used their own version. :P

06:51 <Cepheid> US and Canadian copyright law is a nebulous area.  Fraught with legal threats from everywhere, and lawyers seeking more loopholes than an American Presidency.

06:51 * Ali flails as her past last month without much fanfare

06:54 * ConfusionRift fanfares for Ali as well. "Jointed celebration! Wooooh!!!"

06:54 <Ali> Not really, Mine was mid April

06:54 * ConfusionRift sighs the not-so-copyrighted song again.

06:54 <Ali> And with the whole lockdown going, it was crappy

06:54 <ConfusionRift> *sings

06:54 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, it's been... yeah.

06:55 <Finwe> Jointed?

06:55 <Cepheid> Not much is happening for my birthday either.  In fact celebration might be delayed until early June, when my sister arrives back home.

06:55 <ConfusionRift> I guess a double celebration?

06:56 <Cepheid> Just gonna be a red velvet cake, some manicotti, and Xenoblade DE.

06:56 <ConfusionRift> I'm getting a heap of nothing, for sure. And I'm fine with it. All I want is those days off. (sighs) Doubt it, since it's on a weekend.

06:57 <Ali> Only thing I got were these new bose.  Cause I couldn't go anywhere or do anything for the last month

06:58 <Cepheid> Request the time off now.  Further ahead you do it, less likelihood of upper management whining.  Mind I am assuming you don't work for Walmart.

06:58 <Ali> Retail

06:58 * ConfusionRift laughs.

06:58 <Ali> We give no *yay* about your days off

06:58 <Ali> Now work for 28 days in a row

06:58 <Ali> We'll somehow make it look like its not against the law

06:59 <Ali> I remember when I had to work 14 out of 15 days

06:59 <Ali> It was terrible

07:00 <ConfusionRift> Truth be told, I'm part-time, so I don't get a lot of hours. The problem is that they're closing shifts. That means I get ran over from 1pm - 10pm (well, 8:30pm now).

07:00 <Koopz> retail workers should start singing those slave songs

07:00 * ConfusionRift laughs. "Don't give me ideas."

07:01 <Koopz> creating a choir on the checkout line

07:01 <Ali> Well how they get away with that kind of garbage

07:01 <Ali> Front load a week and then make you work 5 days in a row

07:01 <ConfusionRift> They still do that.

07:01 <Ali> Then start the next week with another 4 straight, a day off, the only one of the week

07:01 <Finwe> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tou8-Cz8is

07:01 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

07:01 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Harry Belafonte - Banana Boat Song (Day-O)

07:02 <Ali> Then make you work another seven days straight before a day off

07:02 * Finwe tallies some bananas for ConfusionRift to load.

07:02 <Cepheid> Still.  Better to request the time off now.  At the least, if it is approved, the people in charge will appreciate the several-weeks notice.  Do not tell them what it is for.  If the require a reason, give them a legitimate-sounding excuser.

07:02 <ConfusionRift> HAAAAAHAAHAAA!

07:02 <Cepheid> ...

07:02 <Ali> Never ask a retail worker for a /legitimate sounding answer/

07:03 <Ali> Cause they'd probably just flip the bird and walk out

07:03 <Cepheid> I know it's Walmart, but you know I'm right.

07:03 <Ali> Retail is

07:03 <Ali> Unique Cepheid

07:03 <Cepheid> I am aware.

07:03 * Finwe noms on Ali's re-tail.

07:03 <Ali> You can request days off months in advance

07:03 <Ali> Only for them to forget about it

07:04 <Cepheid> I worked for a Walmart for one month.  I got on their nerves fast.

07:04 <Cepheid> They got on miner.

07:04 <ConfusionRift> I got denied three days off, after putting them 2 months in advance, and did ask them prior to the date. I had to twist so many arms to get those three days.

07:04 * Ali baps Finwe with her tail.

07:04 <Cepheid> I...  Didn't let them push me around.  At least not without pushing back.

07:04 <Ali> You won't last long

07:05 <Ali> They don't want to deal with the fighters

07:05 <Cepheid> That's why it was one month.

07:05 <Ali> I survived almost three years of big box retail

07:05 <Ali> and another three at another type of retail

07:05 <Ali> I /refuse/ to ever work at those places again

07:06 <ConfusionRift> I basically had to ask the store manager, reason about it, and then he had them give me the days off. But not without finagling.

07:06 <Ali> The amount of stress they put on their employees is beyond safe.

07:06 <Cepheid> I straight up told them that they were abusive and didn't want to work for them.  They tried to offer to resolve the issue for me, but yeah.

07:06 <Ali> Like my isses Cepheid

07:06 <Finwe> Classic example: you point out that the employer should follow the law, then you get fired because of some invented reason and some more ignorant guy is hired in your stead.

07:06 <Ali> I worked a department that REQUIRED two people to fully maintain

07:06 <Ali> Often times I was the only one

07:07 <Ali> On a limited shift hours due to disability

07:07 <Ali> But had to cover other cash registers cause I was the only person able

07:07 <Ali> Had to rush outside for cart duty if the lazy *yay* can do their *yay* job

07:07 <Cepheid> One time, while working for WIS, I had to do a Walmart.

07:07 <ConfusionRift> I think the only reason why I'm lasting this long is because there are only two capable people that work the paints efficiently and effectively. Everyone else is useless for that. And they know I get really angry when things aren't done the way it's supposed to be.

07:08 <Ali> And micro manage fish tanks, a food storage chest, and a gun case

07:08 <Ali> Like nobody would do temperature checks on the food case

07:08 <Cepheid> It was the only time I ever did it as a whole.  Because I insulted the store manager.  Right in front of him.

07:08 <Ali> I've had several times that the case was falsely testing temps not safe

07:09 <ConfusionRift> Ali: Imagine now, with half the store staff gone either calling in, or just AWOL.

07:09 <Ali> Due to nobody giving a flying *yay* to recalibrate the thermometer

07:09 <Ali> ConfusionRift, the straw the broke my back

07:09 <Ali> Was when they started putting me up front of main register with zero training

07:09 <Ali> I told them when I started I DID NOT want to be up there

07:10 <Ali> I talk too much, I don't like it up there cause its stressful

07:10 <Ali> And I worry if I'm bagging things correctly or entering the right produce information.

07:10 <Ali> All while worrying about the staff heads biting my head off cause my department looks like crap

07:11 <Cepheid> My insult was basically commenting on how their teambuilding wall all seemed to focus on how great their store manager was at teambuilding.  I commented in front of the store manager that the wall was "a [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] joke."

07:11 <Ali> I'm one person, I'm not retail god, I can't do forty things at once.

07:11 * ConfusionRift slowly nods. "That hasn't changed here. And it's getting worse."

07:12 <Ali> I'm also autistic, don't break my stupid schedule up on what to do, it only ruins everything and will make things harder for them

07:12 <Cepheid> He didn't comment at the time, but I later learned I wasn't to do full stores anymore because I ran my mouth.

07:12 <Cepheid> I did warn them it was a conflict of interest.

07:12 <Koopz> american retail is beyond my understanding. They let employees do the bagging, require cashiers to smalltalk to customers all while standing all day long. But if the customers see the Lidl cashiers they say they're lazy because they're sitting.

07:13 <ConfusionRift> Wait... (reads the sentence again)

07:14 <ConfusionRift> Oh okay, almost misread that. Yeah... it's like that.

07:14 <Koopz> apparently americans can't deal with Lidl and their european way of discount taking over their country

07:15 * ConfusionRift flops over.

07:15 <Koopz> isn't there a Lidl you can work for?

07:15 * ConfusionRift slowly shakes his head.

07:15 <Koopz> they *could* have better working conditions

07:15 <Ali> What the hell is a Lidl?

07:15 <Koopz> or was it Aldi?

07:15 <Cepheid> About the only thing from that one month that has really stuck with me though is that I have a bad habit of facing product randomly.

07:15 <Ali> Aldi does have their cashiers sitting

07:16 <Ali> But they don't bag

07:16 <Koopz> yes

07:16 <Koopz> i meant Aldi

07:16 <Koopz> sorry...

07:16 <Koopz> they're both pretty similar here

07:16 <Ali> I don't mind Aldi's

07:16 <Ali> Just don't got there if you don't want generic stuff

07:16 <ConfusionRift> No more retail for me. -_-

07:16 <Ali> I had their pizza rolls long ago

07:16 <Ali> It was AWFUL

07:16 * Ali huggles ConfusionRift. "Probably a wise idea."

07:17 <Ali> Retail feels like borderline torture sometimes

07:17 <ConfusionRift> And with the chaos? More so.

07:17 <Cepheid> So!  Kittens!

07:17 <ConfusionRift> Yes! Cats! (points at cats)

07:27 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: Shhhhh.. Princess Luna is watching you sleep.)

07:28 <Cepheid> Yerp.

07:34 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/fLz1r_sCeXc Roguelikes in a nutshell.

07:34 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Dead Cells: Rise of the Giant DLC, Major update... Thing - An animated trailer

07:34 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/eGFdM28zZ7k Same feeling.

07:34 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Dead Cells - Kill. Die. Learn. Repeat. (Animated trailer)

07:36 <Cepheid> Hilariously, the pan is an actual weapon in that game.  It is called the Vorpan, and surprisingly reliable and powerful.

07:38 * ConfusionRift chuckles. "Like in Mordhau." :P

07:39 <Cepheid> I made it as far as the end of The Castle, using the Vorpan.

07:39 <Cepheid> It was my best run to date by far.

07:39 <Cepheid> Prior to that, I only got as far as the stilt village.

07:43 <Cepheid> Oh, by the way.  If you want to melt your brain, go check out the latest NCH Productions monster hunter animation.

07:44 <Cepheid> I won't link it here, for reasons that become obvious very fast.

07:45 <ConfusionRift> Oh... they lost it I see.

07:45 <Ali> Just how rare are stupid voodoo demons when you WANT them to spawn...

07:46 <ConfusionRift> Voodoo who-doos?

07:47 * Ali baps ConfusionRift as she needs the doll to summon WoF

07:47 * Finwe secretly noms on voodoo demons.

07:47 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, that voodoo woodoo.

07:47 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, they always show up when you don't want them too, or not at all.

07:48 * Finwe also noms on pasta al tonno e peperone.

07:48 * ConfusionRift sets Ali's enemy spawn rate to x30. :3

07:48 <Cepheid> I actually encountered a voodoo demon early on.  I tricked into entering a hell house and killed it.

07:49 * Ali is overrun by hellbats, but never a demon

07:51 <Cepheid> Got lucky with it too.  Dropped the magic spell it used alongside the doll.

07:51 <ConfusionRift> https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1004811655684185339/A98F245A2377674A3034B53AE331D8FD6BF4ADE0/

07:51 <Finwe> Prolonged stay in the Underworld should at some point result in an encounter with a voodoo demon.

07:51 <ConfusionRift> Spawn rate x5 during a blood moon. :P

07:52 <ConfusionRift> Finwe: It's still a rare spawn, and more often is taken by a way more common and irritating enemy.

07:53 * Finwe nodnods.

07:54 <ConfusionRift> Oh, a sale on Playism games.

07:57 <Finwe> Also, GTA V for free in Epic Store.

07:57 <Finwe> But I guess you already own it.

07:59 <Cepheid> I want to check out Gensokyo Night Festival.  More flashy than it appears.  I followed the development of it.  'Twas made in Unreal Engine.

08:03 <ConfusionRift> I thought you had it.

08:04 <Cepheid> I don't.  On my wishlist though.

08:04 <ConfusionRift> It's a tricky game to play, but kinda fun.

08:04 * Ali faceslams, her world ruined by the 2nd evil biome..

08:04 <Cepheid> I itch, I itch, I itch like a witch.

08:05 <ConfusionRift> I'm starting to think they expect you to use the Stop Spread option.

08:05 <Cepheid> I have an alternative version of that sentence, but I can't say it here.

08:06 <ConfusionRift> We both have encountered the same issues. Mainly, having an evil biome right in the middle of the jungle.

08:06 <Ali> No this one was perfect in a way

08:07 <Ali> Single Crimson all by itself alone in the snow biome

08:07 <Ali> WoF spawned new crimson right next to my base...

08:07 <ConfusionRift> Turning this into a mad dash to Plantera once hardmode is unlocked.

08:07 <ConfusionRift> Oooooohhhhhhh.

08:08 * ConfusionRift hopes his large moat helps.

08:09 <Cepheid> Apparently, the jungle can be overriden by the evil biomes.  So that is kinda nornal.

08:09 * ConfusionRift sighs. "It wasn't an usual thing though."

08:10 <ConfusionRift> I feel they got feedback mostly from speedrunners and hardcore gamers.

08:10 <Cepheid> By the way, the lack of a hole in the desert for the antlion pit may be due to generation redesign, Ali.

08:10 <Cepheid> Apparently the underground desert/antlion pit was redesigned a tad.

08:11 <ConfusionRift> The desert here had small holes, in which when entered had antlion larvae everywhere... with rolling cacti. Deeper in, there's where the normal antlions and fliers were all spawning.

08:12 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, world generations feels more... schizophrenic.

08:13 <Cepheid> Probably caused by tweaking and additional biomes.

08:13 <ConfusionRift> And I don't remember terraria straight up eating 1.5GB of RAM.

08:14 <ConfusionRift> I have been having pauses as well... I feel the game is kinda not handling itself anymore.

08:16 <ConfusionRift> Heh, Castlevania reference...

08:18 <Ali> Bah, I have two NPCs at my spider farm

08:18 <Ali> And yeah the blood moon item

08:18 <Ali> What a terrible night for a curse

08:18 <ConfusionRift> Oh, there's another then.

08:18 <ConfusionRift> The whip the zoologist sells has the subtext "Die, monster!".

08:20 <Cepheid> The memory usage and pauses could potentially be caused by maybe upgrading the .NET Framework or switching to .NET Core.  Only way to check would be to disassemble the game code though.  Could be other reasons too, such as exposing more info to the mod loader.

08:20 <ConfusionRift> But... it's on vanilla. o_0

08:21 <ConfusionRift> The Tmod is running on 1.3.5.3.

08:21 <Cepheid> Doesn't mean the game isn't exposing more information anyways.

08:21 <Cepheid> Mm.

08:22 <Cepheid> I could always attach a profiler and figure out what is using more memory.

08:22 <Ali> ConfusionRift, that whip is useless

08:23 <ConfusionRift> Yeah. Modloaders run under their own version, and not through your standard game file. You can, like in minecraft, have separate versions for each modloader version.

08:23 <Ali> A quick dip into the jungle can net you a slightly more powerful whip and save 17g

08:23 * ConfusionRift gasps at Ali.

08:23 <ConfusionRift> Well, it did get replaced quickly.

08:27 * Cepheid holds up a small blue slime with a gold crown for a second. Repeats three more times.

08:30 * Cepheid gets run down by an army of spiky blue slimes.

08:37 <ConfusionRift> What's with the not-Navi fairies?

08:37 * Cepheid holds up a boss summoning item. It appears to be a 1/10-sized replica of ConfusionRift's left, evil hand.

08:39 <ConfusionRift> Don't wanna deal with Rift Fusion.

08:39 * ConfusionRift explodes suddenly.

08:39 <ConfusionRift> Well, that woke me up!

08:40 * Cepheid gets hit by a giant metallic gear out of nowhere.

08:41 <ConfusionRift> Oooh, you've summoned her! Well, have fun with that. (flees)

08:42 * Cepheid is unconscious.

08:42 <ConfusionRift> Really?! The now put explosives with regular pressure plates. How every INTERESTING!.

08:42 <Cepheid> This is Spitfire typing now.  Gimme treats.

08:43 <Ali> Sorry if your cat can type, we have more problems than him begging for treats

08:44 <Cepheid> Heh.  Technically a cat can type.  They just lack the intelligence and language skills to do it.

08:46 <Ali> Well when I think of a cat typing for treats

08:46 <Ali> I expect more of this

08:46 <Ali> adfaont;aoiktno

08:46 <Cepheid> Heh.

08:57 <ConfusionRift> And there went the goblin army.

08:58 <Cepheid> Sometimes, I see cute stuff on Twitter.  Sometimes scary stuff.  Sometimes meh stuff.

08:59 <Cepheid> And then there's this. https://twitter.com/Noor_VTuber/status/1262723627247480832?s=19

09:00 <ConfusionRift> Aah, the future of 3D animation.

09:33 <Divide|Adagio> ConfusionRift: Enchanted nightcrawlers show up during times when there are those 'floating lanterns', as do a lot more fallen stars.  They're just a better kind of worm.  o3o  They can also be crafted with a worm and a fallen star.

09:33 * ConfusionRift nods.

09:34 <ConfusionRift> It just it feels it's a reference to something.

09:37 <Ali> Thank god

09:37 <Ali> Every hardmode item I've found is weak or broken

09:47 <ConfusionRift> Where Hermes' Boots? How boots found?

09:55 <Divide|Adagio> Random chests... o3o;  Better to just fish up a pair of sailcatcher boots.  Or whatever they're called.

09:55 <ConfusionRift> Didn't find the boots... but found the tinkerer!

09:55 * ConfusionRift thuds.

09:56 <ConfusionRift> I feel this is gonna be a bootless run.

09:57 <Divide|Adagio> Seriously, go fishing up some crates.  <.<

09:57 * Finwe boops Divide|Adagio with a bowl of pasta al tonno e peperone.

09:57 <ConfusionRift> I do have limitless baits... blarg. Might as well.

09:57 * Divide|Adagio thanks the Finwe, but is not hungry right now at the moment.

09:58 <Finwe> presently at this time just now, here and now.

09:58 <Finwe> o3o

11:02 <ConfusionRift> Heh.

11:03 <ConfusionRift> Would hate to work on that site.

11:04 <ConfusionRift> Oh, it's a recent entry, sorta.

11:05 <Divide|Adagio> Oh, Site 87 is great.  The weirdness isn't usually dangerous, just weird, and they have the lowest mortality rate of all the Foundation sites.

11:06 <Divide|Adagio> When it gets weird, tho, it gets really, really weird.

11:06 <Divide|Adagio> "Yeah, we're getting rains of candy corn, but that should clear up by morning, and at least we shut down that creepy mask shop on time" kind of weird.

11:17 <ConfusionRift> I bet it's a constant red alert everywhere else, with the Foundations checking on what's going on, with those on site just shrugging, since it's just a normal occurrence.

11:18 <Divide|Adagio> Well, they don't just shrug - they do attempt to contain the weirder and/or more dangerous aspects.  But because it's such a weird nexus and the townspeople do just shrug and say "That's Sloth's Pit for you", there's not as much pressure.

11:19 <Divide|Adagio> Plus, it's a zone where, the researchers have noticed, narrative causality applies.

11:20 <ConfusionRift> "We keep getting reports of mole crawfish everywhere, and rains of spaghetti." | Uh-huh. | "Anyone gonna check on that?" | It's been like that for like a week... i think. It's fine. | "No... casualties?" | Nope. Just a car crash because someone was on the phone and slipped on wet noodles, is all. | "...okay then..."

11:21 <Divide|Adagio> Meanwhile, when every day is subject to some weird occurrance, April 1st is the one day of the year when everything is normal.

11:40 <ConfusionRift> 1st of April... of all days. :P

11:44 <Divide|Adagio> That's the joke.  :S

11:46 <Divide|Adagio> The funniest thing is that for the rest of the Foundation, Sloth's Pit creeps most of them right out.  It's one thing to have a giant unkillable lizard thing wanting to eat your face, it's another to greet it as though it were just another worker at the facility.

11:48 <Divide|Adagio> Like, the Goatman, a mythical being which sneaks up on campers and carries them off to parts unknown (though mostly, he just scares them).  Anywhere else, he'd be an SCP and sealed off in the facility.  In Sloth's Pit, he's just local colour.

11:49 <ConfusionRift> Where else but in Sloth's Pit. :P

11:55 <Divide|Adagio> Then there's Deer College, in Three Portlands.  :S

11:56 <Divide|Adagio> "While we do respect the religious freedoms of all students, the ritual performed tonight by members of Golden Apple Youth resulted in several thousand non-consensual instances of transfiguration. As soon as we are able, we are planning on arresting all participants in this ritual."

22:28 <Divide|Adagio> It's a very old story about a ship.  Basically, say that a ship's put into drydock for repairs.  While it's there, they replace half the parts.  Fine, it's still the same ship, right?  Then later on it's put into drydock again, and then they replace the other half.  Is it still the same ship as before?

22:28 <RichardMist> Hmm... nope, but that's very interesting thought

22:29 <Divide|Adagio> It gets really involved when you then apply that same idea to transhumanism.

22:30 <RichardMist> It's like you take out his soul and leave nothing

22:32 <Divide|Adagio> As they do.

22:32 <PinkieShy> Hi everyone! :D

22:32 <RichardMist> Cepheid ow, very bad situation

22:33 <RichardMist> hoiiii PinkieShy! *waves*

22:33 * Divide|Adagio deletes the SoftwareDistribution folder on this laptop, having something of a sinking feeling.

22:33 <Cepheid> <Mother> I'm gonna build a cage, catch the squirrels and release them far away. <Me> Then they'll return five days later, riding cats and wielding small stick swords. <Father> What?  Are you okay?

22:34 <Divide|Adagio> I'll admit, that is what I would expect from a coterie of squirrels exiled from their kingdom by the ruinous tyrants in charge.

22:35 <Cepheid> I just responded "I'm hallucinating."

22:35 <Divide|Adagio> Guess that's one way to describe a daydream.

22:36 <Divide|Adagio> Windows, how many updates are you downloading?

22:36 <Ali> Over Nine Thousand

22:36 <Cepheid> Too many these days.

22:37 <Cepheid> They need to do a release that collects all the updates into one package.

22:37 <Cepheid> Okay, Twitter, are you alright?

22:37 <Divide|Adagio> A pack which provides a better variety of service, you mean?

22:38 <Cepheid> I followed an artist.  It suggested based on my new follow, I should follow a DevSecOps account.

22:38 <Cepheid> Yes, like a service pack, Schism.

22:39 * PinkieShy licks Ali

22:39 <Divide|Adagio> Would that happen to be SwiftOnSecurity, Cepheid?

22:39 * Ali squeaks

22:39 <PinkieShy> Fleas are awful here this year.. like a nightmare

22:39 <PinkieShy> Last year it wasn't this bad at very least..

22:40 <PinkieShy> Been spraying home flea spray that works for a few hours and now trying the brand Raid their flea aerosol spray..

22:40 * Ali doesn't have that issue with her cats thankfully.

22:40 * Divide|Adagio watches Disenchantment a bit more. "Aw, this is a love story for the ages."

22:40 <PinkieShy> Like seriously the fleas must love my blood.. When i am in the living room by the Wii or Roku.. I am getting like 5 fleas on my arms chewing me up

22:40 <Divide|Adagio> That one episode with the king and the forest selkie.

22:41 *** Quits: ryaxnb21 (ryaxnb@Pony-hj0ath.ca.comcast.net) (Quit: WeeChat 2.7)

22:44 <RichardMist> PinkieShy soo, have you bought that grill?

22:45 <Cepheid> No.  Some random Twitter devoted to DevSecOps.

22:45 <PinkieShy> Yes.. Found answers finally after stressing it lol

22:46 <Cepheid> I itch, I itch, I itch like a lich.

22:46 <PinkieShy> The answer was that if it has a tilt, or open at the bottom some fat will be reduced as the fatty grease will be allowed to drain instead of just sitting on the grill under the meat :P

22:46 <PinkieShy> I itch so bad right now but my arm and legs are just covered in like 10 or more flea bites..

22:47 <RichardMist> PinkieShy okay

22:47 <PinkieShy> I'm at the point i feel like covering my arms and feet and using a tie on my pants to stop the fleas..

22:47 <PinkieShy> They are clearly finding their way up the pant legs lol

22:47 <Cepheid> In my case it is allergies.

22:47 <Cepheid> Sudden upsurge in pollen.  Probably why my lungs got bad.

22:48 <Divide|Adagio> Hum.  The king sows the seeds of his own failure.

22:48 <PinkieShy> allergies just make me cough lately.. I have that nasal spray stuff that helps me not sneeze..

22:48 <PinkieShy> If i didn't have that nasal allergy spray.. I would probably sneeze like 20 times a day..

22:48 <Cepheid> For me, it is mostly coughing and itching.

22:49 <Cepheid> And lots of indescribable things coming up from my lungs.

22:50 <RichardMist> Divide|Adagio The Ship Of Theseus, pertty interestin' article, but people are imaging soo many things with that ship, in some cases yes, in some cases no, in some cases maybe. If you look to that point by other side, the answers will come to you

22:50 <Cepheid> Thought sitting outside might help my breathing.  But nah, made it worse.

22:51 <Divide|Adagio> Cepheid: Mmm.  No mask available?  And yeah...

22:52 <Cepheid> Got plenty.  House has more PPE in it right now than your average American hospital.

22:52 <RichardMist> Cepheid oohh.. when I am using mask, I am dying

22:52 <RichardMist> Cepheid I can't breathe normally

22:53 <RichardMist> Cepheid soo you can sell then for high price hehe (jokin')

22:53 <Cepheid> No.  We live in an area where price gouging of PPE is illegal.

22:54 <Divide|Adagio> Okay.  Creepy music box keeps coming back and playing on its own.  Wonder if that's actually a real music box or just a hallucination.

22:54 * Cepheid looks through the Monster Hunter topic on Twitter. Comes across an image that drives him to gouge out his own eyes.

22:56 <Ali> Is it Knuckles approves your meme?

22:57 <Divide|Adagio> This episode about a plague is kind of less funny now.

22:57 <Cepheid> No.  It's...  Let's just say it would put the darker corners of the Furry fandom in a better light.

22:58 <Cepheid> I need to bleach my eyes.

22:59 <RichardMist> Cepheid that's perfect but for our country, our goverment selling china's charitable assistance masks

23:00 <Cepheid> I wish the kids outside would stop screeching.  One of them just caused Tizzy to go full escape-from-the-danger mode.

23:01 * PrincessRainbows hides under Ali and makes sad horse noises

23:01 <RichardMist> hoiiii PrincessRainbows! *waves*

23:01 * Ali brushies the birfday mare and hides her so much.

23:01 <RichardMist> okie :S

23:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Discussion: Where Do You Think You Would Be If You Never Got Into Pony?  [ http://tinyurl.com/y8s8j7l5 ]

23:09 <Divide|Adagio> Hum.  Updates are taking a while, but they are moving forward.  Furrfu.

23:12 <RichardMist> hah,pretty funny

23:23 <PinkieShy> I feel like buying some cheap steaks at walmart or Aldi when the grill comes.. :3

23:30 <Cepheid> Schism, but elves are tree-hugging monsters who seek the end of all dorfs!

23:30 * Divide|Adagio looks at the windows update progress. "Sheesh."

23:30 <Divide|Adagio> Cepheid: Hah, no, no, these are the candy elves, not the forest elves.  ...though they live in the forest.

23:31 <Cepheid> Windows 7 or 8?

23:31 <Divide|Adagio> Windows 7.  It's a really old laptop.

23:32 <Divide|Adagio> Naturally, for Adagio, I've been very careful what I visit and how.

23:32 <Divide|Adagio> And, of course, NoScript and uBlock.

23:33 <RichardMist> never updating and sleeping like baby

23:33 <Cepheid> Wonder if the Windows 7 update bug is in effect.  There is a bug that causes early versions to get stuck on Windows update.  Requires manual patch install to fix.

23:33 <RichardMist> Divide|Adagio better use network-wide blocking

23:34 <RichardMist> that thing "Ublock" is detectable by most sites

23:34 <Divide|Adagio> ... er, yes, but its purpose is to preclude any scripts from non-confirmed sources from running.

23:34 <RichardMist> Cepheid I have auto-update offline package (All in one)

23:35 <RichardMist> Cepheid latest updates there

23:35 <Cepheid> https://pos-x.com/support-article/microsoft-windows-update-fix-slow-updates-windows-7/

23:35 <Divide|Adagio> Cepheid: The updates are going through, and I'm patient.

23:35 <RichardMist> Divide|Adagio and that's not disables tracking

23:36 <Divide|Adagio> It does, but that's not its primary use.

23:36 <RichardMist> just deleted all windows update and all it's services

23:36 <Divide|Adagio> Anyway, I deleted the SoftwareDistribution folder so now I'm just waiting for things to proceed.

23:36 <RichardMist> because that thing is full of trash

23:37 * Cepheid gets annoyed, but suppresses it.

23:37 <RichardMist> Divide|Adagio and your update cache is about 50 FB hehehe

23:37 <RichardMist> 50 GB*

23:37 <Cepheid> Richard, for fucks sake cut it out.

23:38 <Cepheid> I get it, you don't like Windows or Microsoft.  Enough.

23:38 <RichardMist> nope

23:38 <RichardMist> not right

23:38 <Cepheid> Oh bullroar.  You keep taking pot shots at the two.

23:38 <Cepheid> Cut it out.  I am tired of listening to it.

23:38 <Cepheid> Gods.

23:39 <RichardMist> just maybe helping you making things from microsoft less crazy

23:39 <RichardMist> that's all

23:39 <Cepheid> No, you're just being an annoying little prick.

23:39 <RichardMist> that's how you thinking

23:40 <Cepheid> Whatever.  Don't ever talk to me again, please.

23:41 <RichardMist> what the strange people, trying to help and that thing happens

23:41 <Divide|Adagio> Thank you for those items, by the way, Cepheid.

23:42 <Cepheid> No problem.  It was a regular issue I dealt with back when I used Windows 7.

23:43 * Cepheid takes meds, goes back to reading.

23:43 <RichardMist> I just have a lot of problems with that microsoft since I use a very old machine

23:51 <Divide|Adagio> I've seen this plot before.  On one of the better seasons of The Simpsons... dunno if this will be better, or worse.

23:53 <RichardMist> okay Cepheid I got you, I will became less helpful, but if you need any help, I will always be happy to help
