02:17 <Schism> It is... interesting to see the current situation drawn in the United States, and Pride month. As the latter was created in commemoration of the Stonewall Riots, it's important to remember those which came before.

02:45 <Ali> Twitter, the area where the pot gets stirred up way too easily
02:45 <Schism> Yes, but I wasn't stirring the pot, I was just poking the pot with the stick. And what a pot it was. *eyebrows*

09:06 <Schism> some*
09:09 <Schism> Hm. Not a terrible addition.
09:12 <Cepheid> I'm hungry. Parents left a note suggesting I not eat. Paperwork for bloodwork we are getting done today does not request fasting though.
09:13 <Schism> Excellent. Time to make some KD.
09:13 <Schism> Or... well, have a glass of milk.
09:15 <Cepheid> Not sure if I should though. It is bloodwork for stuff like blood glucose, A1C and such.
09:15 <Schism> Oh, yeah, 12 hours fasting there if you can't avoid it, I fear.
09:16 <Schism> Drink a glass or two of water?
09:17 <Cepheid> That's what I did. Just a tad worried though, as my blood sugar this morning was 5.1
09:17 <Schism> Oh. Drink some orange juice then.
09:18 <Schism> Or any sort of juice really. The test might be skewed, but better that than a low BG.
09:18 * Ali boops Schism gently with a Zenith
09:19 * Schism boops Ali back with a Shisui Set of Maiming.
09:19 <Ali> Now all I need to do is figure out how to kill Empress of Light during the day
09:20 <Schism> For some reason, this looks less than ideal for a spearwoman who is intent on taking a couple of hits. https://i.imgur.com/nbB0ea5.jpg
09:21 <Schism> (This is the one and only 'combat swimsuit' in the whole game.)
09:21 <Ali> Didn't you know scantily clad armor offers the most protection
09:22 <Schism> I am familiar with the chain bikini, yes. ("I once sold a winsome young lass a leather handband which was more effective than plate mail.")
09:22 <Schism> And FFXIV is one of those games where you can of course glamour your equipment, replacing its appearance with another's. But the level 63 armour set is absurd.
09:23 * ConfusionRift points at the previously popular gem armor.
09:23 <Schism> Nevermind that Shisui of the Violet Tide is an underwater dungeon and therefore swimsuits are thematically appropriate for it.
09:24 <Schism> And why no, the male characters' outfits are not any less ridiculous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5RH5Il-ank
09:26 * PrincessRainbows fetches ConfusionRift some slippers and goes to sleep, hopefully
09:28 * ConfusionRift lightly pats PrincessRainbows.
09:36 <ConfusionRift> It's an odd set. The female sets look more like dresses, while the male sets look like support light armoring. Then again, suppose it was the plaaaaan.
09:38 <Cepheid> Schism, ye know what's funny about the "we should be fasting" note left by my parents? It's being weighed down by a bag of sour jujubes.
09:39 <Ali> Pft
09:39 <Ali> At least its not Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears

09:42 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, I am gonna go take a shower. Need to wake up but can't coffee or tea.
09:44 <ConfusionRift> Finwe: Whatever it was, it messed people's bowels something fierce.
09:45 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, it was also known to be worse than regular gummi bears for diabetics.
09:47 * ConfusionRift sees the Amazon reviews, and wonders what's the point for ratings and comments.
09:47 <ConfusionRift> It's as bad as the mobile app market.
10:06 <Cepheid> Schism, you think a black coffee, no sugar added would affect my results?
10:07 <Schism> No, that's typically one of those things which is all right on a fasting diet.
10:08 <ConfusionRift> Heh. Not sure why, I was reminded on an ol' GI fasting routine. Apparently, they could only have water, coffee, and an apple. That's it. Not sure of the truth behind it.
10:09 <Tirek> Greetings, maremen, marewomen, and non-gendered mare enthusiasts.
10:09 <ConfusionRift> Hallooo.
10:09 <Tirek> I am, once again, given flesh.
10:11 * ConfusionRift wonders. He was just listening to the Silver Surfer OST.
10:11 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift, some diets do, in fact work, and aren't harmful.
10:12 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/2DIvPNN.gifv
10:13 <Schism> To be honest, I'd suggest avoiding caffeine and instead having rooibos on a fasting diet, but coffee should be all right.
10:13 <Cepheid> I just need my fix is all. I don't care if it tastes like sludge mixed with dung.
10:13 <Schism> Ah, the Black Ribboner's replacement.
10:14 <Cepheid> Tizzy, remember. You can push open the door to my dad's bedroom. Barring that, go meow as loudly as possible, and scratch at the door.
10:14 <Schism> But Cephy, you're -right there!-
10:14 * Cepheid is actually occasionally stopping to remind Tizzy about how to get into his dad's bedroom to bother him.
10:14 <Cepheid> Oh, no, no.
10:14 <Cepheid> She's waiting for my dad to get out of bed. He's awake, I know this, because I ran into him earlier.
10:14 <Cepheid> And he rarely, if ever, falls back to sleep from this point on in the day.
10:14 <Cepheid> So he's likely laying in bed, browsing the Internet.
10:15 <Schism> Heh. It's a Saturday. It is the right of all sentient beings to lie in bed on a Saturday.
10:15 <Schism> Except me, because I'm working in two hours.
10:15 <Cepheid> But Tizzy likes to sit outside his door at 5 AM sharp, to wait for him to get up and go take a shower, so she can get her kitty treats.
10:15 <ConfusionRift> /me sighs. "Was reminded he has work as well."
10:16 <Cepheid> Yes, my parents sleep in separate rooms. No, they aren't separated, divorced, or falling apart or anything like that. My dad just snores, and has different sleeping conditions than my mother.
10:16 <Schism> ConfusionRift, I'm hoping that I get this promotion. :<
10:16 <Schism> Also, yerp.
10:16 * ConfusionRift nods, and gives a thumbs up. :P
10:16 <Cepheid> Me and my mother like it warm. My dad, meanwhile, will sleep with the window open in the middle of Winter.
10:17 <Schism> Didn't you dress up Mina in a swimsuit for traveling through Central Coerthas because you prefer your body temperature around 0C?
10:17 <Cepheid> I like it cold during the day.
10:17 <Cepheid> Not the night.
10:17 <Schism> Fair enough.
10:17 <Cepheid> I find the cold keeps me awake at night.
10:17 <Cepheid> If anything, the cold is better at waking me up than coffee.
10:18 <Cepheid> It also helps me cope with the extreme boiling temperature my body feels whenever I'm working.
10:18 <Schism> I certainly have been known to wake up more readily with a glass of ice water.
10:18 * Cepheid needs a danged heatsink installed into him.
10:18 <Cepheid> Make a heatsink, run some major blood vessels/arteries through it, install a fan on it..
10:20 <Cepheid> There's a reason every character design based on me has some sort of heatsink-like device or heat->electric energy converter.
10:20 <Schism> Just plonk it on the top of your head. It's the biggest set of bloodflow in the body.
10:20 <Cepheid> You'd think with the bald head, that I'd fair better.
10:20 <Cepheid> I don't.
10:20 <Schism> Bald head with a mohawk heatsink.
10:21 <Cepheid> It's annoying, to be honest. 15-30 minutes in any chair with no airflow to the back, and my shirt will be soaked all along the back.
10:21 <Cepheid> Put pants on, my body temperature will spike through the roof.
10:22 <Cepheid> Or, at least, feel like it. Observable temperature doesn't seem to much change, based on thermometers.
10:22 <Cepheid> And after a while of doing anything productive, I'll either be sweating profusely everywhere and in every gods danged crevice, or..
10:23 <Cepheid> I don't quite know how to express it. But I get a strong burning sensation between my skeleton and the directly adjacent connective tissue.
10:25 * Cepheid loads up EON.
10:25 <Cepheid> Right, I was on B3F of the Waterfall Woods.
10:26 * Cepheid checks to see how Confusion's level is doing. He's been earning EXP by sitting back at the guild hall doing f-all.
10:26 <Cepheid> Level 15. Finwe, meanwhile, doing much the same(Though I expect he passes the time exercising and doing mathematics.) is... level 17.
10:28 * Cepheid heads to the Alpha Plains. There's a quest dedicated to the entire maze(Mazes are small, single-floor dungeons separate from the main story), and it sounds like it's full of wolves. So probably might encounter Fenrir there.
10:28 <Cepheid> ...
10:28 <Cepheid> And it basically says it right out.
10:28 <Cepheid> "The wolves seem to be following orders from a leader of sorts, a giant beast called Fenrir. As such, our mission is to kill their leader." - Maginia soldier.
10:29 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: My Little Pony: Pony Life May Have Been Delayed [ http://tinyurl.com/y7uy343g ]
10:30 <Cepheid> I'd like to say this makes it easy given my level.
10:30 <Cepheid> But so far, every stratum has actually been up-statted considerably, with exception to the Lush Woodlands, which was EO4's first stratum and this game's first stratum.
10:33 <Schism> Is it just me, or does this sound like a perfectly reasonable strategy? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZy-w_HUcAAqqL3?format=jpg&name=small
10:34 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:34 <Cepheid> Hum. Skoll. If I recall, just slightly more powerful wolves. But...
10:35 <Cepheid> Nope. Seems accurate. Just more powerful wolves.
10:35 <Cepheid> Worth a good chunk of EXP too. 1,525.
10:38 <Cepheid> Oop. Found Fenrir.
10:38 <Cepheid> And he's protected by a hoard of Skolls. Like, a massive quantity of them.
10:40 <Cepheid> Aaaand I just lost all of my progress to a single wolf.
10:40 <Cepheid> It appears they have an attack that hits multiple targets for an excessive amount of damage. Like, 150+
10:42 <Cepheid> Ah, I see.
10:42 <Cepheid> It uses the attack when it's the only enemy left.
10:48 <Cepheid> ... o.O
10:49 <Cepheid> These wolves give off an interesting item for this level of the game.
10:49 <Cepheid> Snow Shoes. +10 DEF, +10 MDF, plus a boost to action speed.
10:49 <Cepheid> Shoes by default already provide a boost to action speed. So anyone wearing these will be much faster than usual.
10:50 * Cepheid shoves a pair onto Schism.
10:57 <Cepheid> So, so long as Taunt is active, and I use Front Guard, Cepheid can tank the multihit attack from the wolves.
10:57 <Cepheid> Okay.
10:57 <Cepheid> So, to fight off Skolls, I have to attack them from behind, otherwise they will alert nearby other Skolls, or even Fenrir himself.
11:03 * Cepheid is reminded of Cornfed's "Volves" rant from Duckman as he kills a bunch of Skolls in sequence.
11:04 <ConfusionRift> Now... to attempt to sleep again. Laters!
11:04 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-v2e.irn.56.193.IP) (Quit: Recharging the batteries. Laters! *shutdown*)
11:05 <Cepheid> So, from what I can tell, there appears to be 3(?? Given the nature of the map, feels like there should be a fourth) entrances to the main area where Fenrir hides.
11:09 <Cepheid> Another one. A small 3x3 room with no purpose. Wonder if Atlus just adds these to fill space.
11:12 <Cepheid> Okay, definitely only 3 entrances, I didn't miss one.
11:14 <Cepheid> ... Oh. Okay. So Simple Scopes are more useful than I thought.
11:14 <Cepheid> I thought they just worked in the local area.
11:14 <Cepheid> Apparently, it reveals all objects of interest(Harvest points, shortcuts, mainly) on the entire FLOOR.
11:16 * Cepheid hmms. "There's three Skolls in the room with Fenrir. I need to kill them all without alerting Fenris. Or, ye know, kill them ASAP and run from the rest.
11:17 <Cepheid> They all sit in place, and rotate around. I'm not sure what their visual range is, but if they spot me, they start chasing, alerting everyone else in the room. If I hit them from the side or back, they don't alert.
11:18 <Cepheid> Atlus was smart though. They didn't just give them a straight up "rotate 360 degrees" pattern. Skolls against walls will not rotate to face the relevant wall.
11:18 <Cepheid> Fenrir can summon more skolls. Great.
11:19 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

11:25 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-iu8jdo.tpgi.com.au)
11:27 <Cepheid> Apparently, Fenrir and Skolls are terminally stupid.
11:27 <Cepheid> They won't react if you're fighting another of their brethren, RIGHT NEXT TO THEM.
11:29 * Cepheid hands Schism a ton of Large Barrel Bomb+, more than a hunter is legally allowed to have on them, and throws Schism at Atlus's HQ.
11:30 <Cepheid> If you alert the Skolls or Fenrir, any Skolls killed *RETURN*.
11:31 <Schism> "Is there anything else I can do for you while you're here? Anything at all?" "No, no, it's fine..." "LET ME HELP YOU." --me, when I spring a wild hair
11:32 <Cepheid> I kinda wonder what would happen if I struck Fenrir without killing any of the Skolls. I can get a back attack on him easily.
11:33 <Cepheid> Then again, all bosses innately have the "Face player when they stand next to boss" trait, so it might not work out well.
11:33 <Cepheid> I know for a fact that if he spots me, the Skolls will come running, and he'll spawn more in.
11:34 <Cepheid> ...
11:34 <Cepheid> That's... I'm not sure Atlus intended for that.
11:35 <Cepheid> Any Skolls I kill in the room, if I leave and return, they'll be dead. Even after they were respawned by Fenrir.
11:38 <Cepheid> That Skoll is virtually impossible to kill.
11:39 <Cepheid> Or, rather, allert.
11:39 <Cepheid> Kill it, sure. But it needs to be done quickly.
11:42 <Cepheid> Apparently, I can kill one in a single turn with the usage of boost skills.
11:42 <Cepheid> That trivializes the matter.
11:44 <Cepheid> There, Fenrir's alone.
11:45 <Cepheid> Wow. They didn't give Fenrir the "Face player" behaviour for a boss.
11:49 <Cepheid> Hum. Works like his EO: Untold incarnation, sort of. Howls during battle to spawn a Skoll in the arena nearby.
11:51 <Cepheid> Hum. Nope. Can't do this. Not yet.
11:51 <Cepheid> He spawns a lot of them.
11:52 <Cepheid> Strangely, this is a boss battle I can RUN from.
12:04 <Cepheid> No special skills I can acquire that'll stop FOEs dead in their tracks. In EO:U, this was performed by an item. Not sure if that item can be obtained here, as it hasn't appeared since.
12:05 <Cepheid> So, I need someone to act as the head of the local harvesting guild. Who wants to be the leader of a group of farmers?
12:08 * Cepheid sets up Luna to be the leader of John, Jim, Jenny, and Jesse.
12:23 <Cepheid> Right, off I go to get my bloodwork done.

14:40 <Cepheid> Right then, time for boss.
14:41 <Cepheid> Hey Narmer. Or should I say Wicked Silurus, as this translation seems to use.
14:45 <Cepheid> ... Complete with diving.
14:46 <Cepheid> Great. At least it starts off with a reasonable number of targets. 3.
14:46 <Cepheid> ... Changed, though.
14:47 <Cepheid> Normally, he resurfaces if you hit him. Not so anymore.
14:52 <Cepheid> Also, he heals if you don't hit him.
14:53 <Cepheid> It was a nice fight, Narmer. But you didn't stand a chance.

14:54 <Cepheid> Having a bad day?
14:55 <Cepheid> Looks like I got the good ending of this storyline.
14:55 <Schism> It's... an off day. I'm not on the ball for whatever reason.
14:55 <Cepheid> During the labyrinth, you have to train this random NPC. Apparently, your choices make a difference in the "end" of the storyline chain.
14:56 <Cepheid> And bah.
14:56 <Cepheid> Hopefully the rest of the day goes better. How much longer you got?
14:56 <Schism> 7 hours.
14:56 <Schism> Assuming that there's no VTO, but because it's Saturday, that's a given.
14:57 <Cepheid> ... Southern Shrine. But it's on the western edge of the map. The eastern shrine is... to the south-east. So I'm guessing the map is not oriented with north to the top.
14:58 <Schism> If there does happen to be VTO available at any point, I'm jumping on that like a tiger on a medicine ball.
14:58 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:59 <Cepheid> Hum. So there's four shrines in all.
15:01 <Cepheid> "A six-toed cat's supposed to be good luck-- If you touch a feline's extra digit, happiness will find you. So, how about it?" "...We want to touch the toe."
15:01 <Schism> A lucky bean. o3o
15:03 * Cepheid uses a scope in the next shrine. Maps out all potential shortcuts, and all the FOEs. These Simple Scopes are nice.
15:04 <Cepheid> ... What, you couldn't translate it to "Pineapple", Atlus? "Stun Ananas"
15:05 <Schism> Better yet, a 'pineapple' is slang for a fragmentation grenade.
15:06 <Cepheid> Which suits the appearance of the enemy more.
15:06 <Cepheid> It looks like a small grenade, with a bunch of shard-like fingers.
15:06 <Schism> Cepheid. You like Zachtronics games, yes?
15:07 <Schism> If so, then have a refinery simulator. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/06/06/maxis-obscure-business-tool-simrefinery-is-now-playable-after-30-years/
15:07 <Schism> And now, back to the salt mines.
15:13 <Cepheid> Heh, I saw that.
15:23 <Cepheid> Hum. Apparently, the NPCs of the game take a bigger role in this game than they did in EO5.
15:24 <Cepheid> The NPCs I helped thus far are apparently looking up to the guild like they're amazing, and working to assist them in any way they can.
15:24 <Cepheid> ....
15:24 <Cepheid> Atlus, what.

22:49 <Cepheid> Oh, no, this lab tends to be fast in general.
22:51 <Cepheid> It's just that the last time I got checked out, my cholesterol was dangerously high. It isn't anymore.
23:21 <Cepheid> $50 on me being the source of the next pandemic Earth sees, because of my routine use of antibiotics.
