06:39 <Ali> They put a summoner weapon
06:39 <Ali> Behind killing an enraged boss
06:39 <Ali> WITHOUT getting hit
06:40 <Ali> And it has to be 100% of the damage done is during the enrage
06:40 <ConfusionRift> You're not talking about the Hallow boss, are you?
06:41 <Ali> The Empress of Light
06:43 <ConfusionRift> Hallow boss. All damage must be done during the day. Guessing she falls on rage by that.
06:43 <ConfusionRift> Oooooh... okay. I see the issue.
06:44 * PrincessRainbows licks ConfusionRift and lays in his hooves
06:44 <Ali> Yeah she enrages during the day
06:44 <ConfusionRift> "The weapon will only drop if 100% of the damage dealt to the Empress occurs during the daytime, when she is enraged (where in all attacks will likely instant-kill the player)."

06:46 <Ali> Well some of the bosses in regular mode
06:46 <Ali> Do get a bit boring
06:46 <Ali> But that's ONLY if you find the right gear
06:46 <Ali> Like Queen Bee is a pain if you don't have a good ranged weapon
06:47 <Ali> But the three basic bosses
06:47 <Ali> Are pretty easy
06:47 <Ali> Now what I hate is how random Hardmode can be

11:10 *** Joins: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
11:53 <Schism|Adagio> 2 hours isn't the /worst/, but yech.
11:54 <Cepheid> It is when it's only one call. 2.5 hours there, 2.5 hours back.
11:54 * Schism|Adagio nods. :<
11:55 <Cepheid> And while I don't know what the problem is, printer calls can be anything from the complex "system board snapped in half somehow" to the mundane "toner cartridge low".
11:57 <Lumindia_> for a 2.5 hour drive, it better be the former
11:57 <Lumindia_> make the trip out there worthwhile
11:58 <Cepheid> That said Unisys has been... weird as of late
11:58 <Schism|Adagio> As the old saying goes: "PC load letter?!"
11:59 <Schism|Adagio> ('printer cartridge, load letter-sized paper.')
11:59 <Cepheid> They delivered a bunch of PPE to my dad, who then had to distribute it to his colleagues. Not his boss, but my dad.
11:59 <Cepheid> Like, directly to our house.
11:59 <Cepheid> Not the office where all the parts for the repair jobs are delivered.
12:00 <Cepheid> But to one of their tech's houses.
12:01 <Cepheid> Kind of makes you wonder if they tried to have PPE delivered to the offices directly, but most of the shipments went "missing" (stolen).
12:02 <Cepheid> So rather than risk another direct shipment to the offices, they delivered to the technicians instead, who would then redistribute. Because this was how they did it for all the offices in Ontario apparently.
12:04 <Schism|Adagio> I hate my schedulers sometimes. SO glad this is the weekend...
12:04 <Schism|Adagio> Cepheid: That sounds like a totally nonsensical way of doing things.
12:04 <Cepheid> Speaking of PC Load Letter...
12:04 <Cepheid> A while back my dad received a call.
12:05 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
12:05 <Cepheid> User said printer wasn't working. It was loaded with paper.
12:06 <Cepheid> So they figure, bad paper tray electronics. So they sent a full electronics replacement kit.
12:06 * Schism|Adagio taps his chin. "Was the paper the wrong size?"
12:06 <Lumindia_> probably either that or something equally as dumb
12:06 <Cepheid> My dad pulls the tray out. Takes a look in the bay.
12:07 <Cepheid> Someone shoved a bunch of crumpled up paper into the bay itself. Not the tray. The bay.
12:07 <Lumindia_> ........
12:07 <Cepheid> The result was that the paper couldn't be pulled out of the tray.
12:07 <Lumindia_> yep, it was equally as dumb
12:09 * Schism|Adagio ois.
12:09 * Schism|Adagio also sighs. "Really really hate my scheduling team today."
12:09 * Schism|Adagio injects coffee, drinks insulin.
12:10 <Cepheid> That said he has received some legitimately tricky calls to repair.
12:10 <Cepheid> One involved a printer that had a small gear with one missing tooth.
12:10 <Schism|Adagio> Ouch. Well, I prefer the tricky cases to the fundamentally idiotic.
12:11 <Cepheid> That one took him about five or six hours.
12:11 <Cepheid> Since the cause was misdiagnosed.
12:12 <Cepheid> Had to order a new part after that because what he was sent wouldn't have worked.
12:12 <Cepheid> Goes in the next day. Five minutes later it's working.
12:12 <Schism|Adagio> As for why I hate our schedulers today: the first half of my shift is always five hours long (before lunch). I get a break at 1 hour into my shift, and then 4 hours without one.
12:13 <Cepheid> They didn't do that for an upcoming shift?
12:13 <Schism|Adagio> They did. This is how the schedule was arranged at the start of the week.
12:14 <Schism|Adagio> I still hate it.
12:14 <Cepheid> Ah.
12:14 <Schism|Adagio> Note, my breaks aren't the same time every day. Oh well, over to the salt mines.
12:14 <Cepheid> That's usually how my WIS shifts worked.
12:15 <Cepheid> Though smokers were afforded a 15 minute break here and there on top of that.
12:18 <Cepheid> Good thing I'm not working for em right now. I'd have to get regular tests done. Otherwise the clients would freak at all my coughing. More likely I just wouldn't be given any shifts.

14:01 <Cepheid> There's an experiment I want to perform, merely as a curiosity than anything else.
14:02 <Cepheid> I want to take a thermal camera, put it on myself, and then start doing some work on my project.
14:13 <RichardMist> Okay, but be careful
14:14 <Cepheid> Oh, I'm not doing anything dangerous.
14:14 <Cepheid> It's just a common issue I find I have.
14:15 <Cepheid> When I sit in one spot, working, I find I get really hot, really quickly, in contrast to sitting in one spot and doing nothing productive.
14:15 <Cepheid> And I want to see if it's just my imagination, or something else.
14:15 <Cepheid> Like say, my laptop getting really hot from the constant compiling, running code, compiling, running code, etc.
14:16 * PrincessRainbows licks RichardMist in greeting
14:17 <Cepheid> I'm assuming it's just my body getting hot from the heat emitted by my laptop from the compile-run cycle.
14:19 <Cepheid> Could also be a side effect of not moving. Radiated heat collecting in the surfaces I'm touching, radiating back into me.
14:22 <Cepheid> Huh. I didn't know Control was inspired by the SCP Foundation. I should check that out.
14:23 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0zcl5ERS8E
14:23 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
14:23 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Over 70 Sorting Algorithms in Under an Hour - Linked Disparity Dots
14:28 <Cepheid> If you ever want to waste an hour of your life watching colorful lines.
14:30 <Cepheid> I always wondered how the sort time was calculated.
14:30 <Cepheid> It sums up the time it took to perform each step.
14:30 <Cepheid> To nanosecond accuracy.
14:35 <Cepheid> And yes, it's possible to get nanosecond accuracy on computers.
14:35 <Cepheid> Well, nanosecond-level time, rather.
14:35 <Cepheid> You can't get time in discrete steps of 1 nanosecond, usually.
14:37 <Cepheid> Hum. How unfortunate.
14:37 <Cepheid> For one of my other projects, it'd be nice to use a more precise virtual terminal under Windows. While VT100 capability appears to exist for Windows Command Prompt, I'm not sure what all it supports in terms of functionality.
14:38 <Cepheid> According to the docs, a nearly-full set of VT100 control codes is supported, but it doesn't say whether these control codes actually do anything under the various versions of Windows.
14:39 <Cepheid> Except for maybe Windows 10 after Spring 2018. Because at that point, Microsoft implemented PTYs for their consoles.
14:41 <Cepheid> So now, arguably, any console program can support the control codes, and connect to a Windows console PTY, and it'll be easy as pie.
14:42 <Cepheid> Still though, arguably, the most portable solution for Desktop Environments is using OpenGL or local 2D windowing APIs and simulating the console.
14:42 <Cepheid> Of course, I could always just abstract things.
14:42 <Cepheid> The underlying game speaks to a layer, which various visual implementations have to interpret and output.
14:45 <Cepheid> Hum. Best way to find out? Test.
14:54 <Cepheid> Looks like.... xterm-16color.
14:56 <Cepheid> The Windows console is limited to 16 colors, and when attempting to use colours outside the range 0-15(A feature supported by say, an 88-color or 256-color xterm terminal), it maps maps to the nearest appropriate color.
15:01 <Cepheid> Google, I'm looking for laundromats. Not dry cleaners.
15:19 <RichardMist> hoiii PrincessRainbows, nice to see you here again *greets with smile*

15:54 <Cepheid> ... That's because apparently there's a secondary format not mentioned by term(5).
15:55 <Nedemai> wanna see something cool
15:55 <Cepheid> It's a 32-bit format, uses the magic number 01036.
15:55 <Nedemai> wooden you like to see it? lol
15:55 <Nedemai> https://sta.sh/0bw8745we4p
15:55 <Nedemai> lol
15:56 <Cepheid> Ah, here we are.
15:57 <Cepheid> ncurses updated the binary format in versio 6.1. For some reason, the term(5) man page I have is for an earlier version, despite other related man pages being for 6.2
15:57 <Cepheid> And nice, Nedemai.
16:01 <Nedemai> :3
16:02 <RichardMist> Awesome work Nedemai

16:32 <Cepheid> Say what one will about Epic Games Store, but I just saved myself $60 total on Control and the Season Pass for it.
16:59 * Cepheid looks at the termcaps list.
16:59 <Cepheid> Right, I'm not writing out each enum for this manually. I'm gonna write a code generator to do that.

19:15 <Cepheid> I am convinced children under the age of 10 years are incapable of communication. There are a pair of kids in ear-splitting distance. I have heard no spoken language from them. Just incoherent screaming.
19:27 <RichardMist> Okay, you're right
19:42 <Lumindia_> sounds about right honestly

22:10 * Lumindia_ pops the balloon, catches Ali and hugs
22:14 * Ali eeps and splats onto Lumindia_
22:15 * Schism|Adagio embarks on the Lemon Crusades.
22:17 * Lumindia_ catches Ali in a net
22:22 * Cepheid embarks on musical and fever-induced imagination and day-dreaming.
22:25 <Schism|Adagio> Cepheid: It was a terrible time, those Lemon Crusades.
22:25 <Cepheid> What did they entail?

22:35 *** Joins: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP)
22:36 <Schism|Adagio> Cepheid: The stories don't tell. But men died. Women died. Infants ... probably died, but nobody talks about the infants because they die all the time anyway.
22:37 <Schism|Adagio> And all the King of Dreamland came back with was a single, solitary lemon.
22:37 <Cepheid> I see.
22:37 <Schism|Adagio> But of course it was a glorious war. That's what all that dying means.
22:38 <Cepheid> Heh.
22:38 <Schism|Adagio> (Should really watch Disenchantment if you have access to Netflix. It's really quite excellent.)
22:39 <Cepheid> Alas I do not, as far as I know. I'd like to check that show out though.
22:41 <Cepheid> Given how my imagination is so adversely affected by music and emotion, I wonder what my imagination would dredge up under hallucinogenics.
22:42 <Cepheid> Strangely, a lot of my mind is focused around containment. Vessels, containers, restraints.
22:43 <Cepheid> I suspect it is linked to my temperament. I dislike my raging side. I would rather do without it. Or learn how to contain it, at the least.
22:44 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-9hhn5l.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
22:45 <Cepheid> Let's be lucky the SCP Foundation, or something like it doesn't actually exist. I'd try to admit myself for containment.
22:57 <Schism|Adagio> Cepheid: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bc/55/d6/bc55d6ac210f50e2f11ce25b4f9bab99.jpg
22:59 <Schism|Adagio> Also, heh. Yeah.. ._.
23:01 <RichardMist> Schism|Adagio ehm, wwhat is thaat?
23:01 <Cepheid> Sorry. Just a recurring thought that tends to happen after my episodes. I'm afraid of what I will do one of these days. I'd personally prefer to be locked away in a room, with a bookshelf of books of various types, rotated out on a regular basis.
23:02 <Schism|Adagio> That is a Transformer named Ravage.
23:02 <Schism|Adagio> Also, yeah -- I guess I can see that myself.
23:03 <Cepheid> That, or just a laptop with an internet connection for browsing.
23:03 <Cepheid> Nothing special is needed for me. Just make sure I can't approach other people.
23:07 <Cepheid> Schism, you know what would be a "fun" toy-themed item with practical use? All power supplies for a computer are basically transformers that convert AC to DC of varying voltages and currents.
23:08 <Cepheid> So create a power supply that sits outside the case. Designed to look, and indeed, transform back and forth similarly to, a Transformers character.
23:12 <Schism|Adagio> That would indeed be fun!
23:12 <Schism|Adagio> The funny thing is that the original G1 toy for Ravage? A cassette.
23:13 <Cepheid> Oh?
23:15 <Schism|Adagio> Yup. I don't know if it actually played or anything, but: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:G1toy_ravage.jpg
23:16 <RichardMist> wow
23:16 <Schism|Adagio> Probably not, though.
23:16 <Cepheid> o.O
23:16 <RichardMist> lookin' nice
23:17 <Cepheid> I'd say it doesn't play anything. While it looks like it has tape in it, I see no way for it to move from reel to reel, or an access point for the head to read from it.
23:17 <Schism|Adagio> Mmm. Yeah, I didn't think so, but that would have been very cool.
23:18 <Schism|Adagio> And then there's this Grimlock. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Device_Label_Grimlock.jpg
23:18 <Cepheid> That, meanwhile is more viable and functional.
23:19 <Cepheid> Especially if it is an optical mouse.
23:19 <Schism|Adagio> As indeed it is.
23:19 <RichardMist> hah, nice

23:22 <Cepheid> My parents are building a cage for my mother's garden. Calling it now, squirrels squeeze in.
23:23 <Schism|Adagio> Clearly, you must convince them to build it out of razor wire.
23:23 <RichardMist> are traps working?
23:24 <Schism|Adagio> I hear that squirrel blood is decent fertilizer, after all.
23:24 <Schism|Adagio> Heh. It's Ottawa. There are always more squirrels.
23:25 <Cepheid> https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Matrix_of_Leadership okay, whats with the caption for that image at the top?
23:26 <RichardMist> Maybe electrial cage
23:26 <Schism|Adagio> Cepheid: The TF wiki has captions on like 90% of the images. I blame David Willis.
23:26 <Cepheid> Ah.
23:27 <Cepheid> Geezus cripes.
23:27 <Cepheid> These captions.
23:27 <Schism|Adagio> Also, I probably shouldn't have shown you the TF Wiki, should I.
23:28 <Schism|Adagio> Seriously, this guy is 100% at fault for that. Somehow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Willis_(cartoonist)
23:28 <Cepheid> I'm not much a fan of Transformers. That said I don't mind reading lore.
23:28 <Schism|Adagio> Yeah, lore is good.
23:29 <Cepheid> So yes, you probably shouldn't have.
23:29 <Cepheid> But for the time being, the Foundation has my attention. So you're lucky.
23:29 <Schism|Adagio> There's quite a lot of it for what started off as a toy commercial. Of course, here we are in #equestriadaily, so I have precisely zero room to throw stones.
23:30 <Schism|Adagio> And heh.
23:36 <Cepheid> Finally, peace and quiet outside. Most of the screechers have gone indoors.
23:37 <Schism|Adagio> And today, the construction next door is on hold. But the weird thing is, it almost feels too quiet.
23:38 <Cepheid> I could rage for a bit if you want.

23:39 <Schism|Adagio> No, no. I think I'll load up Terranigma for now and see what I can do about furthering the revival of humanity.
23:40 <RichardMist> Schism|Adagio Terranigma, is that a game?
23:40 <Schism|Adagio> The meat of the game is going around and progressing technology, leading the world from the middle ages to modern day.
23:41 <RichardMist> Reminds me Spore
23:41 <RichardMist> but with humanz
23:41 <Schism|Adagio> SNES game, done by Enix and Quintet. And no, it's an action game more than anything. Same genre, functionally, as Soulblazer and Illusion of Gaia.
23:42 <RichardMist> and yep, know some games of that type with individual world generation
23:42 <RichardMist> Okay, I'm interested
23:43 <RichardMist> wow, released in 1996-12-19

23:47 <Cepheid> I'm thinking of getting a small pot, putting a spider plant in it, and seeing if I can keep the cats from destroying it in totality so that it distracts them.
23:47 <Schism|Adagio> Could get some catgrass.
23:48 <Schism|Adagio> Some robots struggle with the concept of morality. Others consider it an amusing diversion. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4037
23:48 <RichardMist> Cepheid: yep if you try a lot
23:49 <RichardMist> oops, mistake
23:49 <Cepheid> Catgrass or catnip too. I want to actually distract the cats with it.
23:50 <RichardMist> okie
23:52 <Schism|Adagio> PurpleIRC? What in the blazes is...
23:52 <Cepheid> I should take some time tomorrow and program that Lego robot I made. Intended to give it WASD controls to drive it around remotely with string attached.
23:52 <RichardMist> somathin' custom :>
23:52 <Cepheid> Modded client? Or actual home-made client?

23:54 *** Joins: RichardMist (User@tor.sasl.RichardMist)
23:54 <Cepheid> Wonder if that'll get nVidia off it's useless arse and fix their EGL stuff.
23:56 * RichardMist *doing some code-stabilizations*
23:57 <Cepheid> Microsoft appears to also be discussing internally DX on Linux without any Windows stuff required. If they do go ahead with it, it'll be using Linux DRI/DRM.
23:58 <Cepheid> So chances are good it'll happen at some point.
23:58 * RichardMist *compiling... buffering... complete*
23:59 <Cepheid> Which might open a lot more gaming options for Linux, as a native implementation of DirectX would probably fare better than DXVK or Wine's D3DVK.
23:59 <RichardMist> still windows purified version is better than linux
23:59 <Cepheid> I'm more just curious to see whether the Linux and BSD communities mellow out a tad towards Microsoft's efforts.
