01:11 <Cepheid> Do you ever wonder if, by creating the SCP Foundation and all its items, that we may be directly be creating a dimension full of tons of horrible things?

02:21 * Ali huggles the PrincessRainbows

02:23 * Filly_Nightmares wiggles into Ali tummy

02:26 * PrincessRainbows boops Ali with her twi plushie

02:27 * Ali cuddles with Filly_Nightmares and PrincessRainbows and grabbyhooves for twi plushie

02:29 * PrincessRainbows grabs her dashie instead and offers twi

02:29 * Ali snuggles the twi plushie and tells PrincessRainbows she'll give it back when the little filly goes to bed.

02:29 * PrincessRainbows yays

02:32 * Filly_Nightmares chews on Ali and then Princess Rainbows!

02:33 * PrincessRainbows whimpers

02:38 * Filly_Nightmares rolls onto her back and floofs up her belly!

02:43 * PinkieShy snugs PrincessRainbows

03:31 * PrincessRainbows tears up and hugs all the ponies

03:33 * Ali huggles the PrincessRainbows and gives her twi back

03:33 <PrincessRainbows> I'm just so tired of this place

03:35 * Ali headtilts

03:37 <PrincessRainbows> People complain about toxic environments but they can leave. I'm disabled and hence poor with little opportunity, so my choice is here or under a bridge

03:38 * Ali huggles the PrincessRainbows so much

03:39 <Ali> I tend to have other problems

03:40 <PrincessRainbows> Everyone acts like they can treat me how they want and I shouldn't care

03:40 <Ali> That companies tend to shove me under the rug cause I'm not disabled enough to matter, that or the thing is that it feels like autism is a child's only disease

03:40 <Ali> Yeah I get the feeling PrincessRainbows

03:41 <Ali> I feel like I get walked all over cause I'm an easy target

03:42 <PrincessRainbows> Try not being able to actually coordinate your body and then what

03:42 <Ali> I'm sure we all have our walked over stories PrincessRainbows

03:42 * Ali huggles on them so much

03:42 <PrincessRainbows> I'm just ready to finish

03:45 * Ali boops PrincessRainbows to not talk like that.

03:45 <Ali> I understand the frustrations, but going that route isn't worth it.

03:47 <PrincessRainbows> I'll just have to hope against hope that things get better

03:48 * Ali nods and huggles PrincessRainbows, its about all she can offer.

03:55 <PrincessRainbows> It's just so infuriating and depressing to be stuck by things out of my control

03:59 <Ali> I get the feeling PrincessRainbows, I really do.

04:02 <PrincessRainbows> I haven't done anything of note in a week now because I just have no motivation anymore

04:03 <Ali> Why not arts?

04:05 <PrincessRainbows> Why bother if I can't do inking nor even practice

04:05 <Ali> It might help take the edge off?  I dunno, just suggesting something

06:51 <Cepheid> Morning.

06:54 <Schism> Bridge's haunted.

06:55 <Schism> https://twitter.com/markkrueg/status/1269073081231740928

06:56 * Ali nibbles on Schism ear

06:57 * Schism pats the Ali and offers some high-caffeine soda.

06:57 * Ali squees and drinks it down fast, unicorn burps follow

07:00 * Cepheid looks at Schism. "What?"

07:00 * Schism picks up gun and wrench. "Bridge's haunted."

07:01 <Cepheid> ... Wait is tha-  I think I walked across that bridge.

07:03 <Cepheid> It is.

07:06 <Cepheid> It's the Golden Gate Bridge.  I walked across that.  How the hell do you make something so grand, so creepy?

07:06 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-u30cht.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

07:06 <Schism> As always, it's a well-meaning change which turned out to be disastrous.

07:07 <Cepheid> That's gonna cost a job.

07:07 <Cepheid> Interestingly, that bridge was the only place to ever inducer vertigo, or something akin to it in me.

07:08 <Ali> I'm more surprised there are shitstains all over the place

07:09 <Cepheid> I remember walking across it, and seeing a rock jutting out in the water far below me.  For some reason, walking across it and having that rock in view caused me to spontaneously keel over and vomit a bit.

07:09 <Cepheid> I got really dizzy, felt off balance, then just fell over.

07:09 <Schism> Vertigo can be caused by all manner of things.

07:12 <Schism> 'Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz, a spokesman for the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District, said the throbbing musical tones “were a known and inevitable part of a wind retrofit project” that the bridge had planned for years.'

07:12 <Cepheid> ...

07:12 <Cepheid> That was...  Planned?

07:13 <Schism> It was a known consequence.  https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Hear-that-ghostly-hum-on-the-Golden-Gate-Bridge-15321948.php

07:13 <Cepheid> Guh.

07:14 <Cepheid> There is no way that is gonna last.

07:17 * Cepheid takes Schism's favourite horse-sized antibiotics.

07:17 <Schism> Ah yes, Amoxy.

07:18 <Cepheid> Amoxiclav, yeah.  Only stuff generally known to work on my lungs and/or sinuses.

07:23 <Cepheid> So, the reason for me cursing Atlus yesterday, that I didn't cover.  They did something unusual with the Southern Shrine maps.

07:24 <Cepheid> At varying points, there are these roots you can climb.  They lead to a "raised" floor that takes up the space usually reserved for walls.

07:24 <Cepheid> Effectively doubling the density of the map.

07:24 <Schism> Oof.

07:24 <Cepheid> While the basic FOE of the area cannot follow u

07:25 <Cepheid> Up or down, the next level of FOE can.

07:25 <Cepheid> They based puzzles around this.

07:25 <Schism> Leading FOEs into traps or pressing switches... fun!

07:26 <Schism> Cepheid, look on the bright side.

07:26 <Cepheid> Less leading them into traps and having to use the raised-lowered sections to move them out of the way and then rush back.

07:26 <Schism> Ah.

07:27 <Cepheid> Gods I hope I'm closing in on subclasses soon.

07:28 <Cepheid> I also still have to kill Fenrir and Golem.  Golem should be doable now, but I need to see if I have access to items or skills that nullify enemy buffs.

07:29 <Cepheid> Amazingly, FOE armor from Golem's area seems to somehow still be the strongest armor available for heavy plate users.  That's like, over a stratum ago.

07:39 <Cepheid> Spitfire is out of it tonight.  Isn't reacting to my noise at all.

07:41 <ConfusionRift> Hmm... (checks temps)

07:45 <ConfusionRift> 42C max at the moment on the CPU, and 50C on the GPU.

07:46 <Cepheid> Sounds about normal.

07:48 <ConfusionRift> Considering we are at 27C, not bad.

07:49 <ConfusionRift> We had a fart of rain earlier today, which kinda helped... not really.

07:49 <Cepheid> Bah.  the only class I can find right now that can remove buffs is Royalty.  And the relevant skill requires minimum level 40.

07:52 <Cepheid> Very well.  Let's do this the hard way.

07:53 <ConfusionRift> Let's destroy the sun!

07:53 <ConfusionRift> Great idea!

07:54 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/dhPNJ_jSv-Q

07:54 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

07:54 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Etrian Odyssey Untold 2: TKoF - Battlefield - Scatter About

07:54 <Cepheid> This is the kind of boss I'm currently fighting, Schism.  You know what this song means.

07:55 <Schism> Yeeeup.

07:56 * Cepheid decides to save the Force Bursts for when Golem respawns.

07:57 <ConfusionRift> Fun fact: Went out and shot some lead for about an hour. Came back home, and apparently that was enough for a sunburn.

07:58 <ConfusionRift> Make me wonder about those who were out there for several hours,

07:58 <Cepheid> Oh good.  The regen is weak.  I can overpower it easily.

07:59 <Schism> ConfusionRift, good question.  o3oa

08:00 * Ali has never heard of that Terraria weapon before

08:00 <ConfusionRift> Which?

08:00 * Ali never heard of the Force Bursts

08:00 * Ali is probably wrong game minded, but still

08:01 * Ali clicks a power cell into the Lizhard Alter

08:01 * ConfusionRift never heard of the Force.

08:01 <Ali> Golem has awoken

08:01 * ConfusionRift never heard of "Awoken". :P

08:02 * ConfusionRift gets bricked for fooling.

08:02 <Schism> Golem is a worthwhile summon, as it casts Wall on your party.  *sagenod*  But actually getting him is a pain, as you have to protect him from two undead foes.

08:02 <Cepheid> Whelp, I lost.

08:03 <Cepheid> My mistake was choosing to use Schism's offensive magic.  Golem has a regular counter he uses which deals insane damage for any elemental damage inflicted.

08:03 <Schism> Ah, of course.

08:03 <Schism> And its physical defense is of course powerful.

08:04 <Cepheid> Amazingly, not really.

08:05 <Cepheid> Certainly up there, but nothing that can't be overpowered.

08:07 <Schism> Puns, horrible puns.  https://esoitem.uesp.net/itemLink.php?&itemid=62382&level=1&quality=3

08:07 <Cepheid> Heh.

08:08 * Cepheid goes to get a bunch of items from Take points in the Waterfall Wood. While he can't get Amrita yet, he can get Hamao. 100/20 HP/TP restored.

08:08 * ConfusionRift boops Ali with Golem's head.

08:12 <Cepheid> Assault Drive.  For when you want something dead RIGHT THIS TURN.  30 TP cost, causes 7-turn overheat(Can be reduced to 5-turn overheat with a skill I'm maxing out.  And other skills can be used to reduce it at the cost of TP.), but currently?

08:12 <Cepheid> It just dead 550 damage to a regular monster.

08:12 <Cepheid> The only attack stronger is Ali's Astrosign against a magically-weak enemy, which can do anywhere from 500 to 1,000 damage, depending on weaknesses and number of weaknesses.

08:13 <Cepheid> Catch is, it can only ever be used once.

08:13 <Cepheid> Afterwards, I have to return to the Inn to restore it's use.

08:15 <Cepheid> Man, I really want to get into those locked rooms.

08:17 <Cepheid> ... Okay, that little spot on the map is bugging the hell out of me.  I feel like there's a room there.

08:17 <Cepheid> ... And it's just a small passage.  Dangit.

08:17 <Schism> Cepheid: SCP-649-2568j.

08:17 * Cepheid murders the FOE in frustration.

08:18 <Cepheid> Danger noodle?

08:18 <Schism> " …Take this upvote and go away."

08:18 <Schism> A snake, yes.

08:19 <Cepheid> ...

08:19 <Cepheid> Oh god OW.

08:20 <Schism> Most of the reactions are what really make it funny.  XD;

08:21 * Cepheid fights a hip opotamus.

08:23 <Cepheid> While straightforward, those are way too much HP to make them worthwhile.

08:24 <Cepheid> Or rather, too much defense.

08:24 <Cepheid> Since the next highest FOE has 3,800 HP, but goes down quicker because of lower HP.

08:24 <Cepheid> Also, it's only mechanic is poison.

08:24 <Cepheid> Speakin' o' poison, I need it.

08:26 <Schism> Really, Cimmerian?  Really?  http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-0002-j

08:27 <Cepheid> I'll be honest..

08:27 <Cepheid> I don't like that overridden design of the Foundation website.

08:27 <Cepheid> It's the only thing about Kaktus and his associates I don't like.

08:29 <Cepheid> My complaint is that it generally kills the performance of my tablets when reading their pages.

08:29 <Cepheid> Kaktus' home page on the wiki in general... Gah.

08:30 <Schism> Fair reason.

08:30 <Cepheid> Lesse... best source of early-level poison is...

08:30 <Cepheid> Harbinger.  But I need it's Miasma Armor.

08:31 <Cepheid> No problems there.  Had a harbinger building in the guild for the last several runs of various dungeons.

08:31 *** Quits: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

08:32 <Cepheid> Hum.  Got rid of Auto-Miasma, did you Atlus?  Or is it in..

08:32 <Cepheid> Nope.  Explicitly got rid of it.

08:33 <Cepheid> Ah.  Replaced with Endless Shroud.

08:33 <Cepheid> If you use a Miasma-based skill, it'll grant a chance to automatically activate Miasma Armor.

08:38 <Cepheid> Geezus alive, how fast are those durians?  Even with Act+, and geared for speed, they still outspeed me even at level 30.

08:41 <Cepheid> Also, B2F of the Waterfall Woods bugs me.  I can't "complete" the map.

08:47 * Cepheid goes to kill some old bosses.

08:50 <Cepheid> Well that was trivial.

08:52 <Cepheid> ...

08:52 <Cepheid> Right, that's the first 1,000+ damage hit I've seen.

08:59 * Cepheid needs to perform an experiment.

09:00 <Cepheid> Lesse.  Flan, our harbinger, is at... 647 EXP to next level.  Let's see how much EXP the conch shell provides.  According to the description, "A conch that records audio.  Shares EXP with non-active guild members."

09:01 <Cepheid> The amount seems to suggest it's approximately the amount the character wearing the conch shell gets.

09:02 <Cepheid> 130 EXP for that enemy.  Divide by 5 for party size...  26 EXP each.

09:03 <Cepheid> 634 EXP required.  That's...  13 EXP.  So 50% of the EXP acquired by the character using the conch shell.  Does this scale up if the party size is smaller?

09:04 <Cepheid> Smaller party size, so let's go kill something easy.

09:04 * Cepheid kills first boss.

09:05 <Cepheid> ... Right, ADra just dealt over 2,000 damage to the blossombeast.

09:05 <Cepheid> 460 EXP for that.  Divide by 2, that's 230 EXP.  So Flan should have gotten 115 EXP.

09:05 <Schism> Hum.  Interesting social mechanism.  Scammers claim that they're from Nigeria in order to self-select marks who are the most likely to be just that gullible.

09:06 <Cepheid> ... 46 EXP difference.

09:06 <Cepheid> ... Oh.

09:06 <Cepheid> It provides 10% of the EXP from the battle.

09:06 <Schism> Makes sense.

09:07 <Cepheid> I wonder, then, if it works with a Farmer and Ninja ability.

09:07 <Cepheid> Hmm, no, not ninja.  Where is it..?

09:10 * ConfusionRift stops watching meltdown videos... and might jump to Tewwawia.

09:11 <Cepheid> Hum.  There's New Challenger, which increases combat chance, and provides greater chance of rarespawns(Enemies that, when killed, double the EXP gained at the end of battle.  IF you kill them.  They like to run and get first-move usually.)

09:13 <Cepheid> 'Kay game, where's this skill I'm looking for?  I know it exists.

09:16 <Cepheid> Ah there it is.

09:16 <Cepheid> Shogun.  Taunt Assassins.  Increases combat chance, while increasing EXP.

09:17 <Cepheid> Combined with the Farmer's Earth's Bounty, which increases EXP so long as the farmer is alive..

09:18 <Cepheid> Earth's Bounty is 30%.  Not sure about Taunt Assassins.  Then on top of that, we have New Challenger.

09:19 <Cepheid> Which doubles EXP, if the rarespawn is murdererered.

09:19 <Cepheid> Experimentation time!

09:19 * Cepheid makes the Filly_Nightmares the Shogun.

09:21 * Cepheid rampages through the Lush Woodlands to grind some EXP for characters.

09:23 <Cepheid> Also need to find me a Ninja.

09:25 <Cepheid> By the way folks, if my constant talking ever gets annoying, say so.  I feel like I might be annoying a few people, but given that most conversation around here these days tends to revolve around games people are playing, I generally don't...  yeah.

09:26 * ConfusionRift patpats Cepheid. "It's all good."

09:26 <ConfusionRift> I'm just not familiar with the game, so I can't say much.

09:26 <Cepheid> Man... if that particular burst were just a bit more powerful, and Imperials had good INT/TP..

09:27 <Cepheid> Imperials have a Burst skill that restores all of their TP, while at the same time doubling it.

09:29 <Cepheid> Imperial, with high INT, maxed level for TP purposes.  Subclass to Astrologist.  Use most powerful magics possible, run out of TP?

09:29 <Cepheid> Burst, double TP, restore to full.

09:31 <Cepheid> The doubled TP only works for one battle, though.  That said, it remains that throughout the battle, so if you have some way to restore it to maximum through say, items, or some passive ability that restores TP for all party members on a row..

09:31 <Cepheid> Lot of potential abuse for lots of damage output during drawn out battles.

09:32 <Cepheid> 'Course, the limiting factor here is I can't pull off an EO3.  I can't artificially boost stats by feeding the character an infinite number of books of a given stat.

09:36 <Schism> Yet.

09:36 <Cepheid> Though, with maximum level being a staggering 140 in this game..

09:37 * Schism noms upon stat books. They're high in fiber.

09:37 <Cepheid> I fed so many to Ali in EO3, that at level 30(After retirement), she has a staggering 70 or so INT.

09:37 <Cepheid> In about 20-30 levels, she maxes out.

09:39 <Cepheid> She's also capable of fighting on the front row, because I also fed her a metric ton of VIT books.

09:39 * ConfusionRift hears noises.

09:40 <Cepheid> You do not recognize the noises coming from the corpses.

09:40 <ConfusionRift> Those are not normal noises. They are... advanced noises.

09:41 <Cepheid> Oh?

09:41 <ConfusionRift> Actually, since I'm used to having the A/C on, which muffles sounds by the vents, the usual TV noises from other rooms is louder than usual.

09:42 <Cepheid> All of that fighting, and... Nighty only got 5 levels.  Shoulda picked a harder stratum.

09:42 <Cepheid> Interestingly, that's just enough levels to max out Taunt Assassins.

09:43 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

09:45 <Cepheid> Right, now for the experiment.  Maxed out Earth's Bounty, maxed out Taunt Assassins.  Temporarily rest Cepheid to get that one ability..

09:46 <Cepheid> Oh.  It's not Protector I need, it's Hero.  And... the skill is a Veteran(Level 20+) skill.  Great.

09:46 <Cepheid> Who wants the title of "Hero"?

09:46 * Cepheid goes silly and makes Tirek the Hero.

09:48 <Cepheid> Lesse.  Schism needs... 4244 EXP to get a level.  o3o

09:50 <Cepheid> That battle with Taunt Assassins and Earth's Bounty got me 273 EXP.  Assuming 10%, that's 27 EXP.

09:51 <Cepheid> Okay, good.  The EXP obtained by the Conch is, in fact, affected by EXP boosters.

09:53 <Cepheid> Next up, determine the value of boosts.

09:54 <Cepheid> Without Taunt Assassins, the same battle as above is 136 EXP.  So it doubles EXP gains.

09:56 <Cepheid> Interestingly, EXP either seems to be 1 + (Sum of all enemy EXP), or internally, EXP is handled as a floating point number.

09:56 <Cepheid> Since 273 / 2 = 136.5, not 136.

09:57 <Cepheid> Same battle without Earth's Bounty is... 105 EXP.

09:57 <Cepheid> Which translates approximately to... an increase of 29.5%.  30% rounded up.

09:58 <Lumindia> https://mobile.twitter.com/ciphergoth/status/1269321067924873216

09:58 <Lumindia> the golden gate bridge screams now

09:58 <Cepheid> So Schism showed us earlier.

09:58 <Lumindia> Frick!

09:58 <Lumindia> He beat me to it D:

09:58 <Schism> Bridge's haunted.  o3o;

09:58 <Cepheid> I'd be terrified to walk across it again.

09:58 <Cepheid> So, in terms of effectiveness of grinding..

09:59 <Lumindia> honestly, it's just a mood at this point

09:59 <Cepheid> Ninja's are best.  They can at least fight.  Farmers are entirely support.

09:59 <Lumindia> world sucks so much all you CAN do is scream

09:59 <Cepheid> Er, Shoguns*

09:59 <Schism> That'd be an amusing way of putting it.  The Golden Gate bridge is screaming in support of all the protests.

09:59 <Cepheid> For ultimate benefit though...

10:00 <Cepheid> Shogun's increased encounter rate, +100% EXP.  Earth's Boundy +30%.  Rarespawn's +100%.  +100% from Heavenly Gift.

10:00 <Cepheid> For a grand total of 330% EXP.

10:00 <Cepheid> +330%, I mean.

10:00 <Cepheid> And that's not accounting for the EXP boosting item from the DLC.

10:00 <Cepheid> Which is not being purchased until I've achieved at least one max level character.

10:03 <Cepheid> I wonder if these relevant skills can be acquired through subclassing.  Might be worth wasting a subclass on two of my high-level characters for the purposes of easier experience acquisition for later combat.

10:03 <Cepheid> But I have yet to unlock that, so..

10:04 <Cepheid> Geezus, Taunt Assassins is excessive in increasing combat.  Three steps.

10:06 <Cepheid> The double EXP effect from it works on FOEs, as well.

10:08 <Cepheid> Hum.  Shogun Synergizes well with Imperial.

10:08 <Cepheid> And protectors.

10:08 <Cepheid> Has a skill called Great Warrior.  Applies an impressive attack buff to the target, in return for making the target more desirable to attack.

10:13 * Filly_Nightmares knead kneads Cepheid

10:13 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, the biggest downer with Shoguns is they can only wear cloth armor, for some reason.

10:16 <Cepheid> ...

10:16 <Cepheid> Okay, that was creepy.

10:16 <Cepheid> Right now, with the sun in it's current position, there's light flowing in from the kitchen.

10:17 <Cepheid> I saw the shadow of something walking across in front of the window.

10:17 <Cepheid> But there's no one else here awake, and outside that window?  There's no platform.

10:18 <Cepheid> And... yep, there's not a cloud in the sky.

10:18 <Cepheid> Schism.  House's haunted.

10:20 <Schism> What?

10:21 <Schism> Heh.  Not a surprise, really.

10:21 * Cepheid pulls up gun, reloads it. "House's haunted."

10:22 <Cepheid> Hey, Rifty.  You're the resident gun enthusiast.  Question.

10:22 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmm?

10:22 <Cepheid> I've seem the handguns that have that sliding piece along the top.  What is it people are doing when they intentionally pull it back?

10:24 <ConfusionRift> I'm gonna guess it's a semi-auto, something like a 1911 or Gloc- (pukes oil) -sorry, that other one. If you mean the action of pulling the slide back, that would be actually cocking the handgun.

10:24 <Cepheid> Ah.

10:25 <Cepheid> Isn't it supposed to do that automatically?

10:25 <Schism> After the first bullet is fired, yes, some of the kinetic energy is used for that purpose.

10:25 <Cepheid> Or is it because normally, the slide is pushed back from the force of firing a bullet, thus the first bullet has to manually be loaded into the chamber?

10:26 <Schism> Yes.  This repeating action is part of what makes a handgun semi-automatic.

10:26 <Cepheid> Mmm.

10:27 <Cepheid> So, by logic then, there is no reason to manually pull the slide back again until after the clip(magazine?) is changed.

10:28 <Cepheid> Thanks.  I'll keep that in mind for weapons in my game.  Assuming I go as far as to have a reloading animation for guns.

10:29 <Cepheid> Ah, the term's magazine for those kinds of guns, okay then.

10:29 <ConfusionRift> The handgun (unless it's a double action only), is not active after firing with no ammo, a misfire, or when the pin is dropped or de-cocked. One has to cock it in order for it to function. The semi-auto function is of it automatically loading the following round, with no manual action.

10:30 <Cepheid> Ah.

10:30 <Cepheid> Seriously wish there were a more publically accessible shooting range in this city, where I could spend a few dollars for a day to just practice with different kinds of firearms.  Closest the city has is the RA Center's Gun Club.

10:31 <ConfusionRift> That's why, in movies, when they get a fresh mag or are about to use a semi-auto handgun, they pull the slide back.

10:31 <ConfusionRift> Oh... sorry... slow typing.

10:31 <Cepheid> Unless you're John Wick.

10:32 <Cepheid> Geezus hells does that double EXP really make EXP go up quickly.  Regret not having made a shogun earlier.

10:33 <Cepheid> Makes it virtually impossible to walk to any location though.

10:33 <ConfusionRift> If that particular city doesn't much of interest in firearms, chances are there will not be a range. Alas, should be once somewhere, especially since (believe it or not) there are a lot of firearm enthusiasts in Canada. :P

10:34 <Cepheid> It's Canada.  Our interest in guns is mostly for sport and hunting.

10:34 * ConfusionRift nods.

10:34 <Cepheid> And Ottawa, less so, due to...  "recent" events.  I quote "recent" because it happened a few years back.

10:34 <ConfusionRift> Aah, I see.

10:34 <Cepheid> Also an actually more-recent incident.

10:35 <Cepheid> Few years back, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Parliament Hill were assaulted by a gunman.

10:35 <ConfusionRift> Oooh. Yeah, that would change things.

10:36 <Cepheid> Recently, there was an incident out west wherein, from what I've heard, obtained one or more military weapons, and went to multiple households and killed everyone in them.

10:36 <Cepheid> That incident was why the ban on military-style assault weapons put in place recently.

10:38 * Cepheid wonders how Filly_Nightmares would go around and taunt monsters, given their relatively peaceful nature.

10:38 <Cepheid> Like, what would taunting from such a cute fluff involve?

10:38 <ConfusionRift> Fluttershy style? :P

10:38 <ConfusionRift> Maybe bunny nibbling.

10:39 <Cepheid> I fully expect lots of bleeping involved, and numerous vulgar hand motions.

10:39 * Filly_Nightmares purrs and floofs up at Cepheid and lickies her own nosie!

10:39 <Cepheid> Geezus, whatever the approach, it's effective.  Most battles happen after only 1 or 2 steps.

10:40 * ConfusionRift said he was gonna go to Terraria... he didn't. Still watching meltdowns.

10:40 <Cepheid> Meltdowns?

10:42 *** Quits: alice32__ (alissq@tor.sasl.alissq) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

10:42 <ConfusionRift> Speaking of "military-style assault weapons", these meltdowns are basically this guy running the such in full auto till they break. From them getting jammed due to heat, to them just melting and breaking apart.

10:43 <Cepheid> Oh, meltdowns as in overheating weapons 'til they break?

10:43 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that.

10:43 <Cepheid> Heh.

10:45 <Cepheid> Wasn't aware that was a thing worth recording, heh.

10:46 *** Joins: Pegasik (ushiki@Pony-83p60c.broadband.corbina.ru)

10:47 * Cepheid equips some anti-blind rings. Goes to Waterfall Wood, uses Taunt Assassins. Finds enemy groups worth a staggering 1000 EXP.

10:47 <Schism> This is one reason why gun enthusiasts, at least the respectable ones, are of the opinion that bump stocks are worse than useless.

10:47 <Cepheid> Because they can damage the gun through overheating by enabling semi/full-automatic behavior?

10:48 <ConfusionRift> Not really.

10:48 * Filly_Nightmares murrs and lickies Schism

10:48 * Filly_Nightmares skree!

10:48 <ConfusionRift> It's because it gives a false sense of automatic firing, and it gives the firearm additional unneeded wear.

10:49 <Cepheid> Ah, right, the wear-and-tear aspect.  Forgot about that.

10:49 <ConfusionRift> In my opinion, it's a dumb design. A very expensive and dumb design.

10:51 * Schism counterscrees and provides Filly_Nightmares wif some mango ice cream!

10:51 <Cepheid> Heh.

10:51 * Cepheid hmms.

10:51 <Cepheid> For the cost of defense, Shoguns can equip two weapons.

10:53 <Cepheid> It says "Second Sword", but no where in the description does it mention that it HAS to be a sword.  Wonder if I can use subclassing to gain access to a ranged weapon, and dual-wield a pair of guns, spears, or other weapons that aren't affected by row.

10:53 <ConfusionRift> What it does is that the whole frame of the rifle is freefloating on a larger spring that pushes the whole thing back. The stock and grip are the only things that are static, with the grip having these extensions where your finger rests. When you pull the trigger, it pushes THE WHOLE RIFLE back, causing the trigger to go with it, resetting the trigger. So it fires again when it moves forward.

10:54 <Cepheid> Ah.

10:55 * Filly_Nightmares skrees and gnaws on all da ice cream and uses Schism as bed!

10:55 <Schism> This also results in the weapon firing wildly and becoming impossible to aim with any accuracy.

10:55 <ConfusionRift> Sights? Off target. Attachment? Detrimental and/or useless. Accuracy? Out the window.

10:56 <Cepheid> Heh.

10:56 <ConfusionRift> It's a novelty, since it renders almost everything of use on the rifle useless and pointless. Hence why I hate it.

10:56 <Cepheid> What's the best way to handle recoil?

10:56 <Schism> Pausing between shots.

10:57 <ConfusionRift> Recoil pad and taking your shots one by one, or bursting on full auto (game thing).

10:58 <ConfusionRift> There are other things you can use to manage recoil, but they can get technical depending on what it is and caliber.

10:59 <Cepheid> Hum.

10:59 <Schism> Ammunition mass, firing velocity, and the weight of the weapon are the primary attributes which define recoil, of course, because physics.

11:00 <ConfusionRift> ^

11:00 <ConfusionRift> As I said, it can get technical. :P

11:00 <Cepheid> I wonder if photonic weapons would have any kickback or recoil.

11:00 <ConfusionRift> Photonic?

11:00 <Cepheid> Light.  Lasers.

11:01 <Cepheid> Plasma weapons, not photonic, would also be a thing.

11:02 <Cepheid> I'm no physicist, but I would assume firing a burst of photons or plasma would induce some extremely small amount of recoil.  Probably negligible, really.

11:03 <ConfusionRift> Technically, there shouldn't be. Lasers and other light weapons would use a wave of particles or energy. Technically, they don't have any form of pushing force.

11:03 <ConfusionRift> A railgun though...

11:03 <Cepheid> Yeah, that definitely would have kickback.

11:04 <Cepheid> You're moving a metallic, ferrous mass, through magnetic fields.

11:04 * PrincessRainbows hugs ConfusionRift so much

11:05 <ConfusionRift> That's energy used to push mass, which would likely counteract and cause recoil. With bigger sabots being more painful.

11:05 * ConfusionRift huggles PrincessRainbows.

11:05 * ConfusionRift thinks of a pilebunker... his shoulder is already hurting.

11:06 <Cepheid> Bah... these farmers aren't going to be useful for a long time.

11:06 <ConfusionRift> I plant potat in field!

11:06 <Cepheid> Heh.

11:07 <Cepheid> Farmers are pretty much entirely support.

11:07 <Cepheid> They add bonuses to everything the party does.

11:07 <Cepheid> But in EO: Nexus, skills are handled differently from when Farmers were introduced back in Etrian Odyssey 3.

11:07 <Cepheid> In Etrian Odyssey 3, so long as you had the skill points, you could reach any really complex and useful skill.

11:07 <Cepheid> Here?  Skills are locked behind level barriers.

11:08 <Cepheid> Veteran skills are unlocked at level 20.  Hero skills, I assume, are unlocked at level 40.  All the good skills farmers have for grinding for money are locked behind Hero skills.

11:08 * Schism hums, and makes up some chicken kiev.

11:11 * PrincessRainbows reaches up at ConfusionRift. Uppy?

11:12 * Schism provides DashedRainbows with some chicken breasts stuffed with bacon, ranch, and broccoli.

11:12 * ConfusionRift also grabbies PrincessRainbows, and pets.

11:14 * PrincessRainbows yays

11:18 <Cepheid> Nothing like seeing 5700 EXP from one battle.

11:20 * Cepheid finally maxes out Assault Drive. Increases TP cost to a staggering 40, but... Worth it.

11:22 <Cepheid> Ah, the game even tells me the level required for hero skills if I try to learn one.  Yeah, it's level 40.  Dang.

11:27 <Cepheid> Right, time to get the last rare item from the Waterfall Wood.  Required poison.

11:27 * Cepheid has poison.

11:28 * PrincessRainbows decides to go sleepy again

11:29 * ConfusionRift lightly pats PrincessRainbows.

11:30 <ConfusionRift> Also, apologies if a technobabbled a bit much about firearms. I don't talk about it as much as I used to, and a certain griffin is no longer here.

11:31 <Cepheid> It's fine.

11:31 <Schism> I dunno, that wasn't all that babbly.

11:31 <Cepheid> Go figure.  I need a certain enemy, but now I can't find it.

11:32 <ConfusionRift> Find it all the time when I don't need it, completely gone when I do.

11:32 <Cepheid> There it is.  Now then, just need to poison it.

11:33 <Cepheid> Aaand I kill it in two hits.

11:33 <Schism> Heh.

11:33 <Schism> Aren't conditional drops fun?

11:34 <Cepheid> Especially bosses.

11:34 <Schism> "Here, kill this optional boss in 3 turns."

11:36 * Cepheid equips the character with the weakest weapon in the game.

11:37 * ConfusionRift hands them a wooden sword.

11:37 <ConfusionRift> It's dangerous out there...

11:37 * Cepheid also puts the Lucky Choker on them. Luck improves ailment chance.

11:37 * Schism equips the stick, and launches several rows of a completely useless pattern of blocks at ConfusionRift.

11:38 <Schism> Dan, Ken, and Ryu have weaksauce drop patterns too.  <.<

11:39 <Schism> https://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Swordfighting_drop_pattern

11:40 <Cepheid> Effin' finally.

11:40 <Schism> (The stick, obviously, has the worst drop pattern.)  Winning a fight with a stick is considered a mark of talent.)

11:40 <Cepheid> And my reward...

11:40 * Cepheid sighs.

11:40 <Cepheid> A shield that's useless by current standards.

11:41 <ConfusionRift> That good ol' tin shield.

11:42 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, I should probably make some progress in the story.  Sooner or later, I'll get access to subclasses.  I'd like to make that sooner.

12:45 <Cepheid> Roly-Poly Tanuki.  It can transform into different monsters and use their attacks.  This includes FOEs.

12:50 <Cepheid> Hmm.  I'm gonna assume based on that being a shortcut...

12:51 <Cepheid> That there is a stairway, and this remaining unknown is a harvest point.

16:18 <Cepheid> It can summon some Dark Skulls.  These things have the ability to inflict an "ailment" of some sort, that prevents healing of *ANY* ailments for several turns on those afflicted.

16:21 <Cepheid> Sinister Flame.  Hits entire party for massive fire damage(Can be mitigated/nulled with a skill Cepheid has, but there's no pattern to when it uses it.) and inflicts random ailments.  Then spawns two Dark Skulls.  Who have a considerable amount of HP, and can prevent healing ailments.

16:34 <Lumindia> okay @Cepheid, I figured out the issue

16:34 <Lumindia> apparently the steamapps folder somehow got set to read only

16:34 <Lumindia> and that was causing weird permissions issues

16:38 <Cepheid> Oof.

16:39 <Cepheid> Right then, I guess now I should focus on killing the "easy" FOEs.  Easy, my arse.

16:39 <Cepheid> They're all specialty.

16:58 <Cepheid> ... No, really, that reward was totally not worth the trouble of killing Fenrir.

18:53 <Ali> Also I've been hearing that people are saying the Vampire Frog Staff summon weapon just isn't worth it

18:54 <Ali> Its a ground based summon, that can't hit most bosses cause they fly or float

18:56 <Schism> A crate potion was not worth this, monkey.  :<

18:56 <Schism> And I'm not really playing a class yet.  Not HM.

18:56 <Ali> Hmm?

18:58 * Schism nearly drowns, but gets enough coral for a bunch of potions. Whee.

18:59 <Schism> Maybe I should make a Gills potion.  o3o

19:00 <Ali> Or farm sharks for a 1% drop :P

19:02 <Schism> That's odd.  Where DID I put all my water bottles.

19:02 <Schism> Oh, there they are.

19:03 * Cepheid pulls out 60 inventory items of varying types.

19:03 <Cepheid> Time for another boss to die.

19:04 * Lumindia hecks quietly at Ali

19:04 <Lumindia> I have obtained molten armor and a pickaxed

19:05 <Schism> Hello Flippers, I'll take you.

19:05 * Ali drops a guide doll into the lava

19:06 <Cepheid> ... The hell?  It has an OHKO attack as well?

19:11 <Schism> Godly Trident~

19:13 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/41h98kA.png

19:16 <Schism> Yup.  o3o  

19:16 <Schism> Just planter boxes rather than clay pots.

19:18 <Schism> Mmm.  36 Coral.  That'll keep me in sonar potions for a while.

19:22 * Cepheid is almost there.

19:23 <Cepheid> Gotcha!

19:26 <Schism> Gaaame.  Spider fish, please.

19:28 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)

19:28 <Cepheid> Next up is...

19:28 <Cepheid> Petal Bridge, from EO2.

19:35 <Schism> Yanno.  This blood moon is fun, but it's just not engaging enough.

19:35 * Schism summons the Eye.

19:35 <Ali> Blood moon does have a lack of problematic enemies

19:35 <Ali> Other than the ones you fish up

19:36 <Ali> Those are stupid hard for pre hardmode

19:36 <Ali> And the ones in hardmode are like post mech bosses, maybe even plantera they have so much HP

19:43 <Schism> Lotta falling stars coming down in this blood rain.  o3o

19:47 * Schism fishes up a Boomstick.

19:51 <Schism> Sextant, Weather Radio, and Pocket Guide... ...that's all three.

19:52 <Schism> Missing the Lifeform Analyzer from the Traveling Merchant, which would be great to have.

19:53 <Ali> You know he sells Zapinators?

20:03 * Cepheid flops. Can no longer dungeon explore.

20:12 <Schism> Hmm.  Forceful ice boomerang.  Not bad, but I've got better.

20:20 <Schism> I should spawn the Eater of Worlds for shadow armor sometime soon.  Also the Blue Moon is a terrifying weapon.

20:20 <Ali> Flails are extremely good now

20:20 <Ali> Very high damage for pre hardmode

20:20 <Ali> But sadly suck against bosses

20:21 <Schism> Well, depends.  I managed to trick the Eye into just dashing into my flail, which worked.  o3o

20:23 <Ali> Eye isn't that bad with Flails, and Eater of Worlds just Lols to death on it

20:24 <Ali> But you start getting into Wall of Flesh and Queen Bee

20:24 <Ali> Heck even Skelletron

20:24 <Ali> And its a bit harder

20:24 <Ali> Though the mech bosses are worse with the Flail, just cause I don't think there's an early Hardmode version of one

20:24 * Ali shrugs

20:26 <Schism> Chain guillotine?  Corrupt mimics drop 'em.

20:32 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/25fuyxp1ie151

20:32 <Cepheid> Doesn't the Foundation have a kitten portal?

20:38 * Cepheid feels all loopy due to meds. Wheeeeee!

20:39 <Schism> Note to self: figure out how to get the TerraSpark boots.

20:41 <Ali> Schism, its a pain

20:41 <Ali> Water walking boots+Obsidian Skull+Lava Charm

20:41 <Ali> Then combine that with Frostspark to make TerraSpark

20:41 <Schism> Obsidian skull is easy at least..> :<

20:41 <Ali> The other two aren't

20:42 <Ali> Lava Charm is very rare

20:42 <Ali> And the only other way of getting it

20:42 <Ali> Is fishing in Lava

20:42 <Schism> Or lucking out in the lower cavern layers, I know.

20:44 <Lumindia> and queen bee down

20:44 <Lumindia> she moves FAST on master mode

20:44 <Lumindia> good lord

20:53 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/w0JHW8V.jpg PogChamp

20:53 <Schism> Well done!

20:53 <Lumindia> Wasn't even trying to farm it

20:54 <Lumindia> just happened to drop

20:54 <Schism> I'm sure I'll find the Nymph eventually...

20:54 <Schism> Ah well.

20:54 * Schism heads to store.

20:57 <Ali> Found a lava trap?

21:04 <Lumindia> no, digging

21:52 <Ali> Just found out about it huh?

21:52 <Ali> Its, not something you want to try

22:48 <Ali> Well yeah, you need it for potion farming

22:48 <Ali> And once you can get the potion thing from the dungeon

22:48 <Ali> You can save mats and make even more potions

23:08 <Schism> Okay... this seed is rather wealthy.  Huge underground jungle rail, alreay got two sets of Flower boots.  :S  Sheesh.

23:39 <Schism> Mmm.  Setting up a teleport site about halfway down the map -- that's the stuff.

23:56 <Ali> The only thing I'm sad about is the band of starpower is only found on corrupt worlds

23:57 <PinkieShy> Ugh I'm so sleepy

23:57 <PinkieShy> Took sleep aid last night to help me get some sleep early.. >_> Probably slept more than 8 hours but yet.. I am still sleepy very tired

23:58 <PinkieShy> Must been side effects.. oh well :)
