00:00 * Schism sighs, "Gimme a break..."

00:00 <Schism> I'm gonna have to build a railway line of my own or two, aren't I?

00:02 <PinkieShy> I cooked me a frozen pollock with mac and cheese meal in the oven.. :/

00:02 <PinkieShy> That turned out grosser than I ever could have imagined.

00:02 <PinkieShy> I guess I'm a deep fried seafood fan..

00:03 <PinkieShy> To spongey like texture :(

00:03 <Cepheid> Honestly fish and mac and cheese sounds like a bad combo.

00:06 <PinkieShy> I couldn't even eat it.. It was that gross..

00:06 <PinkieShy> I do have frozen fish fillets I could deep fry if i wish.. But eh.. I might just eat soup after that..

00:06 <PinkieShy> After that gross taste I experience..

00:06 * PrincessRainbows flops on Ali and makes sad horse noises

00:06 <Schism> Um.  Okay.  Frozen pollock with mac 'n' cheese?  No.

00:07 <Schism> You need to have pollock breaded, with a crumbed exterior and a nice tartar sauce.

00:09 <Schism> Hello, Concrete Biome beneath... quite a lot of hearts.  ... should I break these things up and fight the Heart of Cthulhu in a nice, neat environment?

00:13 <Ali> Or summon the torch god

00:15 <Cepheid> Hum, now then, where was I..?  Oh, right.  Ancient Bull**** Forest.

00:18 <PinkieShy> Schism it did have a breaded outline to it, but the fact is its one of them either cook in oven or microwave meals..

00:19 <PinkieShy> Cooking in the oven it turned out watery and the mac & cheese got under the fish which probably made it taste even grosser.. So yea.. :/

00:19 <PinkieShy> Big mistake buying that i feel

00:24 <Cepheid> https://helveticascans.com/r/read/wonder-cat-kyuu-chan/en/0/20/page/1

00:27 * Schism returns to town, with a bit more of the undergrowth explored. Deposits the 'chicken nugget.'

00:34 * Cepheid tries to figure out a puzzle.

00:39 <Schism> Two more magic mirrors to sell.  *makes sure not to sell the third*

00:43 <Schism> Once I get the new world set up...

00:44 <Cepheid> This is unusual.  This puzzle has me stumped.

00:44 <Schism> Any puzzle in particular?

00:44 <Cepheid> B3F of the Petal Bridge.  Upper-left corner.  I have to move various floating platforms in a specific manner to get them placed in such a way as to take me to a certain location.

00:46 <Cepheid> ...

00:46 <Cepheid> Wait, I think I figured it out.

00:47 <Cepheid> Nope.

00:54 <Schism> Welp.  There's at least more gels...

00:54 * Schism gets absolutely nothing from King Slime that he didn't already have.

01:01 <Cepheid> I can't figure this out.

01:01 <Schism> I always did hate those puzzles, because you have to typically revert a couple of steps when you're halfway through.

01:03 <Cepheid> Got it.

01:05 <Cepheid> The frustrating aspect, for the record, wasn't the puzzle's complexity.

01:05 <Cepheid> But the constant battles.

01:05 <Cepheid> ... That wasn't worth it.

01:06 <Cepheid> Soma(Party-heal item) and 2500en.

01:06 <Cepheid> I made more off of the battles alone.

01:07 <Schism> S'all about that progress.

01:07 <Cepheid> Still not done with that dungeon though.  I need to murder one of the other FOEs.

01:07 * Cepheid will be glad to leave it. Doesn't like the area, musically. Both in and out of battle.

01:08 <Cepheid> Grates on the ears severely.

01:08 <Cepheid> I am gonna assume that, a monster by the name of Charging Rhino uses it's legs.

01:09 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: PonyCONLINE: Britannia’s Birthday Bash This Saturday [ http://tinyurl.com/y9srgpmy ]

01:09 * Schism stares at this cheesecake, then leaves the last two bites of it in the fridge.

01:09 <Cepheid> Head and legs, it seems.

01:10 <Cepheid> ... The hell was-  You kidding me game?

01:11 <Cepheid> Do not bind it.  At all.

01:11 <Cepheid> Apparently, if bound, it'll use a skill that heals 600 HP, removes all binds, and increases it's offensive power.

01:13 <Cepheid> Would have helped to use an analysis scope on it in my first attempt.  If I had one.  "Flies into a rage if any part is bound."

01:15 <Cepheid> Otherwise, just seems to be a simple brute.  Lots of HP, basic attack, special attack that pierces.  That's it.

01:17 <Cepheid> ...

01:17 <Cepheid> I didn't bind it there.

01:17 <Cepheid> Gods, it does that if I afflict it with any ailment?

01:20 <Cepheid> Good chunk of EXP out of them, but not worth it in terms of materials.

01:26 <Cepheid> Outside of "These are all dungeons from previous games" there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the choices.  Ancient Forest is the first stratum of EO2.

01:34 * Cepheid fights something called Wild Wing. Orders some chicken wings from it. Gets attacked instead.

01:56 <Cepheid> https://helveticascans.com/r/read/wonder-cat-kyuu-chan/en/0/55/page/1

02:04 <Schism> Chicken fajitas for dinner tonight.

02:04 <Schism> With tons of spice.

02:04 * Schism picked up loads of sour cream, cheese and salsa, of course. o3o

02:05 * Schism also wraps the Filly_Nightmares inna tortilla!

02:05 <Schism> (Wif mangos.)

02:06 * Cepheid coughs up a lung.

07:19 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh... know that feeling.

07:20 * ConfusionRift looks at his paracord bracelet, which has one weave backwards, so it looks weird.

07:21 <Cepheid> Heh.

07:22 <ConfusionRift> And it had to be the last weave too.

07:24 <ConfusionRift> I should make a paracord sling. It's gonna take a lot though.

07:25 <Cepheid> Heh.

07:25 * Cepheid isn't even sure of what a paracord bracelet is. o3o

07:25 * Ali rolls around ConfusionRift

07:26 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali as she rolls around. :P

07:28 *** Quits: Heartbreak (Heartbreak@Pony-gja4ce.mn.comcast.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

07:29 <ConfusionRift> Not exactly this one, but the same weave style. Instead of using two cords (one as a core, and another for the weave), I just used one.

07:29 <Cepheid> Huh.  Never seen anything like it before.

07:29 <Cepheid> https://helveticascans.com/r/read/wonder-cat-kyuu-chan/en/0/221/page/1 https://helveticascans.com/r/read/wonder-cat-kyuu-chan/en/0/222/page/1 Hah

07:30 <Cepheid> https://helveticascans.com/r/read/wonder-cat-kyuu-chan/en/0/225/page/1 Aaahahaha!

07:32 <ConfusionRift> It's a bracelet made completely out of parachute cord. Aside from style, it's also used as part of a survival kit. Paracord, or at least the right kind, can hold up to 550 lbs., and is resilient to most weather conditions. The idea is that in an emergency situation, the user can un-weave the bracelet and use the paracord as a rope for other things.

07:33 <Cepheid> Ah.

07:34 * Cepheid walks past Spitfire in the living room, pets him a couple times. Goes to sit do- *Mrow!* *Meow!* *Mrr!* He gets up and goes to pet the cat more vigorously.

07:34 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali real quick, before she rolls off. :P

07:34 * Ali flops over ConfusionRift. "Too bad my cats are all aholes."

07:35 <Cepheid> Spitfire's an arse in his own way.

07:36 <Cepheid> Like earlier, when I was eating.  He jumped onto the table, spread himself across it as usual, and then just started flicking his tail into my food.

07:37 <Cepheid> And within the next 3 minutes, he's probably gonna claim my lap and prevent me from using my laptop. o3o

07:44 <ConfusionRift> HahaHAAAAA! ...so sad.

07:51 <ConfusionRift> Huh, didn't think of that. Apparently, someone was using specific games to test CRT screens for retro gaming, and they chose Yoshi's Island and Gradius III. Reason for that is that Yoshi's Island has no antialiasing, making edges, details, and colors pop. Gradius III is because of its arcade heavy style, which gives an idea of how other arcade games would look.

07:56 <Cepheid> https://helveticascans.com/r/read/wonder-cat-kyuu-chan/en/0/274/page/1

07:56 <ConfusionRift> "You should not have done that. :3"

08:00 <Cepheid> Infinitely respawning bat FOEs.  Weak, yes, but with an annoying skill that makes them somewhat tricky to kill.  Worth every penny to kill though, currently.

08:00 <Cepheid> Each one is worth 1800en.

08:01 * Cepheid decides to remember to buy scopes, this time.

08:01 * ConfusionRift gives Cepheid all of them scopes. "ScoooOOOPES!"

08:02 <Cepheid> Not gun scopes.

08:02 <Cepheid> These are telescopes, I assume.

08:02 <Cepheid> Since that'd be the most logical explanation for why they reveal the locations of all treasure chests, secret passages, and FOEs.

08:03 <ConfusionRift> Scoooopes! (buries Cepheid in telescopes)

08:03 * Cepheid ends up with an inventory full of scopes.

08:04 <Cepheid> Son of a-  I forgot to open those secret shortcuts.  Now I gotta take the long way around and avoid the bats again.  Which is annoying, because once they notice me?

08:04 <Cepheid> They follow me *EVERYWHERE* on the map.  Apparently, each and every hallway and room is connected to one another by debris I cannot cross, but the bats can.

08:07 <Cepheid> Which is exactly as annoying as it sounds.

08:24 <Finwe> o3o

08:25 <Finwe> Whence these sighs?

08:25 * Finwe ruffles PrincessRainbows and Ali.

08:26 <PrincessRainbows> The emptiness and hopelessness I've felt most of the past few years

08:30 <Cepheid> Dang.  Thought I was done with this stratum theme.  New dungeon opened up using the Petal Bridge theme.  Looks like it also has an optional boss.

08:31 <Cepheid> ... I am not liking the appearance of this place.

08:39 <Cepheid> Geezus hells alive.

08:39 <Cepheid> One enemy was enough to wipe my team.

08:50 <DerpyBot> *derp*

08:51 <Cepheid> Sometimes, I wonder if I'm too much of an optimistic, gullible fool or something.  This one individual I ran into in the game is part of a faction of people, called the Seafarers, who have a bad reputation with the faction that the player is a part of, Maginia.  I keep trying to be polite and respectful towards them despite their aggressive tone.

08:55 <Cepheid> I'm basically using logic which I cannot apply in the game directly.  Basic gist:  We have another of these large weird Yggdrasil trees, and around it, inexplicably, copies of dungeons from all across the world.  Forget the Lemurian treasures, there's something weird going on here, and we need to figure out what it is.  Every other tree has had some disastrous portent associated with it after all.

09:03 <Cepheid> Mmm.  Next FOE is... a T-rex.

09:06 <ConfusionRift> Of course! :P

09:09 <Cepheid> Lotta health.  Too much for this encounter, in fact.

09:10 <Cepheid> That said, they can apparently be made passive by luring them into pitfalls, which causes a significant amount of damage to them.

09:12 <Ali> Tia is looking up at me and is all like, I can't jump that high

09:15 <Cepheid> The most interesting thing about this dungeon, the 7th in the game thus far, is that the game currently thinks I am too powerful.

09:16 <Cepheid> The FOEs are already blue difficulty to me.

09:18 * ConfusionRift joins Ali's cat into the staring. 0_0

09:18 * Cepheid adds Spitfire.

09:19 <Cepheid> I'd add Tizzy, but she's upstairs sleeping on my bathroom countertop.

09:23 <Cepheid> Or not..

09:23 * Cepheid adds Tizzy.

09:27 <Cepheid> http://extrafabulouscomics.com/comic/824/

09:41 * Cepheid makes one of his ultra-spicy tomato soups. Serves some to ConfusionRift. It has something called "Mexican Green Sauce" in it, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and spicy bean juice/brine.

09:46 <ConfusionRift> In other words, stomach Drano. :P

09:46 <Cepheid> .. Well, if there's ever elemental dragons popping up anywhere, the squad is now ready to deal with them.  Cepheid has all the guard skills he'll ever need, including the elemental wards which are maxed out, and thus will ABSORB the relevant elemental damage now.

09:46 <Cepheid> And yeah, more or less.

09:46 <Cepheid> My stomach handles it just fine, though.  Arguably, anyways.

09:47 <Cepheid> Those episodes where I complain about nausea, dizziness, cold sweats and the like?  Apparently, that can be the result of gastritis and/or ulcers.

09:48 <Cepheid> So, regarding the relevant item that gets me the Amrita in EON.  Good news, and bad news.

09:48 <Cepheid> Good news, I can now obtain it, so I can now get Amrita, finally.

09:48 <ConfusionRift> HmmmmMMmmmmmm.

09:49 <Cepheid> The bad news?  The monster that drops it is not that common, *AND* the item required is a rare drop, requiring I put the damned thing to sleep.

09:49 <Schism> Yaaaay, conditionals.

09:50 <Ali> Now defeat the Empress of Light during the day

09:50 <Cepheid> Heh

09:51 * ConfusionRift gives Ali an Infinity. "Have fun being stuck on full auto for about 30 seconds!"

09:52 * Ali headtilts

09:52 * Cepheid can finally afford some upgrades, does so.

09:52 * ConfusionRift also gives Ali an Endless Chlorophyte Ammo Pouch. "Oh, and this."

09:52 * Ali headtilts harder

09:53 * Cepheid checks to see what his options are for applying sleep.

09:57 * Lumindia gives Ali a big hug!

09:57 <Lumindia> Hugs are nice!

10:01 <ConfusionRift> Wait, I saw that, Steam!

10:01 <Cepheid> Looks like... Nightseeker, Arcanist, Farmer, Ninja, War Magus, Ronin are my choices for inflicting Sleep.

10:01 <Cepheid> And yeah, Satisfactory has been released on Steam.

10:01 <ConfusionRift> Huzzaaaaah!

10:02 * ConfusionRift has to wait though.

10:02 <ConfusionRift> I'm running way lower than I should.

10:02 * Cepheid fortunately has an Arcanist in the making back in the Guild Hall, so he'll just use that for when he needs to inflict lots of sleeping.

10:11 <Cepheid> I do not like the name of the third floor of this dungeon.

10:11 <Cepheid> "Amalgamated Malice"

10:12 <Schism> Sounds like a Marathon level.

10:12 <Cepheid> Possibly.  The concern is more in the first word, though.  "Amalgamated".  I've seen that word before.

10:13 <Cepheid> Etrian Odyssey 5, first stratum, the boss was the Amalgolem.  An amalgamate of multiple smaller "golems"

10:15 * Schism sees Windows Update briefly flash, before realizing, "Oh, right, that's WUFUC."

10:18 <Cepheid> I should drink this soup before it gets cold.

10:21 <Cepheid> "You've made contact with the Seafarer Princess?  You may be more instrumental to our relations than I thought."  "Translation:  Save her butt."

10:22 <ConfusionRift> "It's the Night of the Eyes..." | Guuuuh... okay, I guess that's what's up. | "Eye of Cthulhu has awoken." | Well, it shouldn't be much of a prob- "Eye of Cthulhu has awoken." | Oooookay, a second one's gonna be a bit, especially on Expert Mo- | "EYE OF CTHULHU HAS AWOKEN!" | Stop that!

10:26 <Lumindia> hahaha

10:26 <Lumindia> nice

10:30 <Cepheid> ... Great.  More bats.

10:31 <Cepheid> As Castlevania fans say... "Goddamn Bats."

10:34 <ConfusionRift> Huh. A guinea pig pet item? Hmm, let's see-aaAAAAAAHHHHH! (pets it so much) :P

10:35 <Schism> Modded back in?  :P

10:36 <ConfusionRift> Consolaria... oh right. I forgot this lil' guy was on the console version.

10:38 <Cepheid> Leave me alone, bats!

10:38 <Cepheid> Gods dangit, another one!

10:40 <ConfusionRift> We are Bat Legion, for we are many!

10:42 <Cepheid> The problem is that there's no long-term solution to dealing with them.

10:42 <Cepheid> If you kill them, they respawn at their initial starting point.  No limit, as far as I can tell.  And they automatically start off "alerted" when respawning, so they'll just path back to you.

10:42 <Cepheid> And because of the nature of the map, they can reach you from *ANYWHERE*.

10:44 <Cepheid> Of course there's a fifth one.  Schism, you were right.

10:44 <Cepheid> This floor is a combination of the others.

10:45 <Schism> I had an inkling, but I was thinking more about how Marathon levels can be... well, yeah.

10:47 <Cepheid> Annoying.  So close to a shortcut, and I had to retreat due to TOO MANY BATS.

10:47 <Cepheid> Least I know it's the last floor.  Completed enough of the map that I could turn it in, and Persephone has indicated it was the last of the Ancient Forest.

10:59 <Cepheid> Right, let's see what our boss is this time.

11:00 <Cepheid> Gryphon.

11:01 <Cepheid> ... No, wait, that's Chimera.  Whoops.

11:01 <Cepheid> Still.

11:02 <Cepheid> ...

11:02 <Cepheid> Atlus, what was that?

11:02 * Cepheid looks at map.

11:02 <Cepheid> Atlus, you [REDACTED] arseholes.

11:03 <Cepheid> It called all the bats on the map to attention.

11:03 <Cepheid> As a result, I have a limited number of turns to kill it before things get really bad.

11:04 <Cepheid> Minimum 23 turns, looks like.

11:04 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #1957 [ http://tinyurl.com/y9g4n6y5 ]

11:06 <Cepheid> ... Or not.

11:06 <Cepheid> It changes their movement mechanics.  They move every turn, rather than every other turn like normal.

11:07 <Schism> Atlus are going to be releasing something on PC.  Probably gonna be SMT or Persona, but...

11:09 * Cepheid screams in frustration.

11:09 <Cepheid> The bats appear in the back row, making it hard to take them out ASAP.

11:13 <ConfusionRift> Okaday... time for sleeeeeeps.

11:13 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-v2e.irn.56.193.IP) (Quit: Recharging the batteries. Laters! *shutdown*)

11:16 <Cepheid> Right then, with this ludicrous case, time to investigate all of the enemies that have conditionals.

11:16 <Cepheid> Mad Crawler.  No idea for the conditional.  King Snail, kill with volt damage.

11:17 <Schism> Cepheid: You remember how the Silent Hill series has a lot of creepy subways?

11:17 <Cepheid> Couple of FOEs from the previous stratum, but I suspect their drops are ineffective for this battle.

11:17 <Cepheid> Yes?

11:17 <Schism> https://twitter.com/0622shud/status/1269232545037578242

11:17 <Cepheid> I... wh-

11:18 <Cepheid> Ah, it's a public art installation.

11:18 <Schism> Yup.  Subtly creepy, though.  I think that kind of arrangement would add to the sense of unreality in any future Silent Hill [fan]games.

11:25 <Cepheid> Yep.

11:26 * Cepheid goes to hunt dinosaurs.

11:27 <Cepheid> 10,281 HP.. That's a lot to take out.  Lesse...  Weak to ice, susceptible to Curse, weak to leg binding.  Hmm.

11:28 <Schism> And you've probably got to, I dunno, kill them with a head bind for a drop.

11:28 <Cepheid> Damnit, there IS a conditional drop.

11:28 <Cepheid> Torn Nail.

11:28 <Cepheid> ... Sounds like it's legs might need to be bound?

11:29 <Cepheid> There we go.  Cursed it.

11:32 <Cepheid> So far, down to half health.

11:34 <Cepheid> 25% left..

11:37 <Cepheid> Aaaand dead.

11:45 <Schism> Get the conditional?

11:46 <Cepheid> No, unfortunately.

11:46 * Schism asks Cepheid to retrieve some gold ore.

11:47 * Cepheid already did that.

11:47 <Cepheid> The monster barely dented me.

11:47 <Schism> Heh, nice.

11:49 <Cepheid> There's a maze, the Blossom Bridge.  It has a regular enemy that appears in EVERY. BATTLE.  That is excrutiating.

11:49 <Cepheid> It has an attack, Slice and Dice.  It hits multiple targets, up to four, randomly, and seems to cut through any damage reduction skills.  It does over 200 damage.

11:51 <Cepheid> Atlus is really laying the brutality on hard.

11:51 <Cepheid> 'Course, it might have helped had I not selected "Heroic Mode" difficulty. o3o;

11:57 <Cepheid> I need to get some sleep.  Feeling exhausted.  Blah.

22:23 * Schism doffs his comb.

22:24 <Finwe> Which does not rhyme with bomb.

22:25 <Ali> Radars spawn in chests?

22:25 * Ali doesn't remember these things well

22:25 * Ali gives Lumindia some extra aglets, cause she usually can't find the stupid things for nothing.

22:26 * Schism is also missing ice skates. That's all he needs for the Terraspark Boots.

22:26 <Ali> I needed those and water walkers

22:26 <Ali> Can't find those stupid things either in my world

22:27 <Schism> Are people just... running around, spamming music on driveby while they speed?  This is the third time in the last few minutes.

22:29 <Ali> Sure its music and not just base Schism?

22:29 <Schism> Audible lyrics.

22:30 <Ali> All I usually here is the house vibrating from some jerk going around bass boosting

22:30 * Starlight_Glimmer puts a Xenomorph plush on Ali's back while getting to bed with a Sunset plush.

22:31 <Ali> Tyranids still suck

22:31 <Schism> Bass was pretty acceptable, albeit a bit louder than the rest.  Then again, when they're blaring "Up In Here"...

22:32 <Ali> Do note Schism, I have super sensitive hearing

22:33 <Starlight_Glimmer> Neighbours decided it was a good idea to renovate. Suuuper glad I'm doing home office -.-

22:34 <Ali> BANG BANG BANG BANG

22:35 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm glad this place has "soundproof" windows. Can't sleep with an open window. It's essentially like a truck driving through my bed when a car passes.

22:36 <Ali> Least not near an active train line

22:37 * Schism blehs. "Need to go out to get insulin, but it's hot."

22:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> There's one a couple hundred meters down the road, but it's rarely used and only to service a single power plant. It has a hand operated level crossing.

22:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> It feels like it is our o

22:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> ... * Out of another era.

22:43 <Starlight_Glimmer> The odd thing is one street down they installed a super modern level crossing. Since directly after that there is the gate to the facility trains have to go walking speed anyway.

22:43 <Schism> Huh.  The Matrix 4, starring Keanu Reeves...?

22:44 <Ali> You mean Reanu Keeves

22:44 <Ali> He got out of Morrowind you know

22:44 <Ali> Then got stuck in Oblivion

22:53 <Ali> Are ocean crates really hard to come by or something?

22:54 <Schism> It certainly feels that way.

22:54 <Schism> Worse, they have a 1/11 chance of having the boots.  The shark bait (doo, doo, doo) is only 1/10.

22:56 <Ali> I've found like three of those things already
