00:02 <Cepheid> My mind is starting to break from this illness. I want someone to come over, hug me, and tell me I'll be okay.

03:10 <Schism> Freedom~
03:11 <Cepheid> Huzzah!
03:13 <Schism> Grail, Mirai, TextTrax given at start. Xelpud.exe randomized. Coin chests randomized, trap chests randomized. All items randomized in shops. Randomize backside doors, area transitions (not one-way) and starting location. No glitch logic, but all items should be available. All chests use coin chest graphics.
03:14 <Schism> Warp point activation enabled, sacred orb in the DC gets a ladder. Quicksave at boss ankhs if you want.
03:14 <Schism> And lastly, remove the Spaulder unless you have a desire to get it at random.
03:18 <Cepheid> I shall keep that logged somewhere. Gonna wait a day or two to see if there are any other suggestions.
03:18 <Schism> You will note of course that I said nothing about the Hand Scanner and Reader being available at start, because they shouldn't be. o3o
03:18 <Cepheid> Heh.
03:23 * Cepheid lays in bed and listens to, over headphones, Good Night Mom. His fingers, resting on his stomach, can be seen tapping to one or more instruments.
03:25 * Ali flops over Schism
03:25 * Schism flies around Ali in supercruise mode.
03:26 <Ali> Well the steam summer sale started
03:26 <Ali> And I see nothing exciting.
03:26 <Cepheid> Sometimes I wonder if I should purchase a cheap midi keyboard, and try learning to play music on it.
03:27 <Schism> Ali: Planet Coaster perhaps?
03:28 <Cepheid> Don't think I have the dexterity for it though. Definitely have timing down to within 1/20th of a second, but my hands shake and I have a tendency to overextend sometimes, due to coffee and/or vyvanse.
03:28 <Ali> Own it, and too much Dlc hounding ruins the game. That and park management sims haven't been my cup of tea for awhile now.
03:31 <Schism> Huh. Black Mesa was actually finished? Xen included? That's interesting.
03:38 <Cepheid> Hum. Crabby made a suggestion.
03:40 <Stormspark> yeah it was finished a little while back
03:40 <Stormspark> Xen is supposedly MUCH MUCH improved from the original
03:41 <Stormspark> I can definitely see why that part took so much time
03:41 <Stormspark> they basically completely remade it, only using inspiration from the original map
03:45 <Schism> Lengthened it spectacularly, too. 4 hours, instead of the hour-and-a-bit the original took.
03:46 <Schism> Huh. My suggestion on the randomizer was basically the same as DC's.
03:46 <Schism> Not surprising, as I based my suggestions on his run.
03:47 <Schism> Only change is that I typically run randomizers with 100% item availability.
03:47 <Schism> Ever since I didn't realize that I could just completely skip Skanda.
03:51 <Cepheid> Technically you can, but you might not be able to.
03:51 <Cepheid> There is a chest in his room that can only be opened by killing him. If the chest contains a critical item...
03:52 <Schism> Exactly. On my first randomizer run I missed an item necessary to even activate Skanda. This led to two effects. First, I spent ages trying to find that item. Second, I had to go around the back way.
03:52 <Schism> Repeatedly. That was less than enjoyable.
03:53 <Schism> If memory serves, it was the Cogwheel.
03:53 <Cepheid> You need the cogwheel and to do the dance of life.
03:55 <Cepheid> You also need the snake staff, as well, I believe, to even get to him.
03:55 <Schism> Yeah, I think it was just the cogwheel I was missing there. Which also precluded the Perfume staff and that one shop.
03:55 <Schism> Perfume chest*
03:57 <Cepheid> For someone whose memory is garbage, I sure seem to remember a lot about that game. Must be PTSD from the first time I finished the game.
03:58 <Schism> Well, you've done a few more runs, too.
03:58 <Schism> And seen a few more runs, heh.
03:58 *** Quits: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP) (Quit: Leaving)
03:59 <Cepheid> Even tried to make one a bit more comprehensible.
04:01 <Cepheid> With all the entrances randomized, I should perform an experiment in the form of "Don't draw out a map" because I swear my navigational compass is otherworldly. Can't notice when something around me occurs, but can memorize directions like you wouldn't believe. I want to test how good that trait is.
04:06 <Schism> Not a bad idea. Just don't conflate it with previous runs, as I do -absolutely all the time.-
04:06 <Cepheid> Heh.
04:08 <Cepheid> I more just want to see how easily I can retain the connection map. As it is, I have the field layouts memorized perfectly.
04:10 <Schism> Same. o3o
04:25 <Cepheid> Bah. All I've done with the seroquel is basically give myself temporary symptoms if conventional exhaustion. Not enough to sleep with.
04:26 <Cepheid> Guess I'll just lay here and listen to music in darkness.

05:22 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
05:22 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Devil Swing (feat. Triforcefilm) (Remix)
05:24 <Cepheid> Right, I just had a moment of synesthesia. My mind tried to come up with a phrase to express a certain part of a song I was listening to. It described the part as "the yellow part".
05:24 <Schism> Ooh. I've done that before/
05:24 <Schism> before., too.
05:25 <Schism> I want to say that this might be related to waveforms prevalent. For some reason I always think of triangle waves as orange.
05:26 <Cepheid> Hard to say.
05:26 <Schism> Square waves as indigo or purple, too.
05:27 <Schism> I'm not gonna say that's any less weird, of course.
05:29 <Cepheid> First time it happened to me. Sort of also induced a weird shocking sensation. Like, one moment, feeling fine. The next, that description pops into my head, then I'm hit with a spark, followed by nausea and a bit of... I dunno. Did I just have a seizure?
05:29 <Schism> I dunno. That might be something like that? Or just a hiccup.
05:33 * Cepheid shrugs. Medications he is on could have done it. Not the first time he has weird bits of neurological oddities.
05:34 <Schism> I've had those occasions of momentary instability. I always just figured they were a thing that happens.
05:34 <Schism> Typically they happen when I have a second or two of deja vu, though.

06:32 <Ali> Thanks again, but I despise PvP games
06:32 * Ali huggles Finwe
06:35 * Schism sighs at Ali, and would still like to play Worms or Hedgewars against! Mostly because it's more of the 'oh god, why did I bazooka myself in the face!?' variety of PvP than 'ha ha, git gud'.
06:36 <Schism> It is more fun when your own mistakes are just as amusing as others', if not more.
06:37 <Ali> Sorry I don't take insults very well right now. And today I'm coming off of finally firing the business that has been hosing me over for four months.
06:37 * Schism hugs the Ali.
06:37 <Ali> Its a relief that part is over, but now there comes so many new problems.
06:37 <Schism> Yes...
06:37 <Ali> I've gotta find a new one to replace them
06:38 <Ali> And pray to Celestia they won't hose me over again like this last company has done
06:38 <Ali> I understand that times are tough to get a person in to help
06:38 <Schism> What service were they providing?
06:38 <Schism> Ostensibly, that is.
06:38 <Ali> At home services and community stuffs
06:39 <Schism> Oh, yee... well, I hope you find a replacement soon.
06:39 <Ali> It wouldn't have been so bad if Magic wasn't shuttered
06:40 <Ali> But that was the last little bit of socialization I get.
06:41 <Schism> I still really do think you need to blow something or other up, even if it's not PvP. Like, buy 5 platinum worth of dynamite and just go to town.
06:41 <Schism> Or launch the bazookas and grenades and mad sheeple.
06:42 <Schism> Or even golf. Golf is good.
06:42 <Schism> Mini-golf, anyway.

16:28 <Cepheid> Morning.
16:28 <Cepheid> Yeah, Schism. The 5G conspiracy isn't a new thing. It's been making rounds for a few months niw.
16:29 <Schism> I'm just (not really) surprised that it's such a long-running thing, that every single new technological innovation becomes the end of the world.
16:30 * Schism whispers, "I've heard water wheels cause demons to possess people."
16:32 * ThatAnonPony tries to possess Schism. By hugging.
16:33 <Cepheid> There's a phrase that pretty much explains why it is. I don't know it by heart, just the message. Technology is magic to those who don't understand it. And consider that magic is an evil thing in many major religions, never mind that they employ magic themselves in their prayers and rituals.
16:34 <Schism> "All technology, no matter how advanced, is magic to those who don't understand it." --Florence Ambrose (well, Mark Stanley, writing Freefall)
16:34 *** Joins: Dakota (dwhitevalle@always.broken.sometimes.patched.never.fixed)
16:34 <Schism> It is, ultimately, a matter of control.
16:34 <Cepheid> When a good, significant portion of people are religious, and are incapable of fully understanding everything thrown at them, for obvious reasons of time...
16:34 * Schism also snugs the sofapone, and provides some ice cream.
16:36 <Cepheid> This is, of course a simplification of the problem and a blame game, but if one did research, testing and surveys, there would likely be a good amount of correlating information to support it. It is worth noting though that a lot if it may not even be conscious.
16:39 <Cepheid> A lot of information we receive is processed subconsciously and unconsciously. We may not even be aware of our biasing and/or decision making leading to the "That sounds right" or "That doesn't sound right" decisions we make.
16:40 <Cepheid> That said, humanity does have a bit of problem of listening to actors, singers, and creative types who don't have any scientific background on a regular basis.
16:41 <LibrarianofHope> what now?
16:41 <LibrarianofHope> what broke?
16:42 <LibrarianofHope> ah that
16:42 <LibrarianofHope> thtas mostly dumb people being dumb
16:43 <LibrarianofHope> there are kinda educated dumb people that are still so very dumb
16:44 <LibrarianofHope> its a mix of the need of logicla narrativ and ego preservation

17:04 <Cepheid> I wonder why Iga's unable to keep to his timeline and schedules for Bloodstained, when during development of previous Igavanias for Konami were kept on schedule.
17:05 <Cepheid> There was a timeline posted earlier this month, announcing an update on the 23rd of June. It hasn't been released.

17:13 <Cepheid> I actually still need to play that game, too.
17:14 <Cepheid> But right now, I am having a hell of a time wanting to do anything. I... Just don't want to do anything other than sleep or read.
17:14 <Cepheid> I suspect it is my body telling me to try and relax to recoup from this illness. But it won't go away.
17:16 <Cepheid> I'm currently in the process of experimenting with something to see if it helps. It involves the stupid air freshener thing in my bathroom. We have a cat litter in there because of Tizzy's history of urinating in various specific spots, thinking she either couldn't get to the litter in time, or Spitfire was stopping her. Anyway...
17:17 <Cepheid> My mother likes to install scented things all over the place. She got one recently that she put in my bathroom. It's motion-sensing activated. It tends to activate just as I sit down on the toilet. Which it is right in front of. I can't imagine breathing in a scented mist cloud is good for the trachea or lungs.
17:17 <Schism> While I'm not going to defend Konami under any measure, I'd say that having a formal management process might have had something to do with Iga's previous punctuality.
17:18 <Schism> Also, that seems... counterproductive, yes.
17:19 <Cepheid> The main floor isn't covered in the damned things, and tends to be the floor where I feel healthiest.
17:20 <Cepheid> Meanwhile the basement floor and the bedroom floor are covered in them. At least one in each room of both floors, with exception to my bedroom.
17:21 <Cepheid> I'm starting to wonder if those things are having an impact on me. Unfortunately I can't do anything about it.
17:21 <Cepheid> I disabled the one in my bathroom, and my mother hasn't noticed yet. But she will, and will get it working again.
17:22 <Cepheid> I don't even know why she uses them. All the scents she uses with them are so sickeningly sweet that I'd rather hang out around a diabetic with uncontrolled blood-glucose as it's less sweet smelling.
17:27 <Cepheid> Why do people in Half-life keep taking about pumpkins, squash, and other such things?
17:28 <Schism> Well, they're in an underground bunker, and then in an oppressive monoculture which denies the slightest bit of happiness. A bit of fresh produce would seem marvelous.
17:29 <Schism> And now I think I'll run over to the store and pick up an acorn squash or two.
17:31 <Cepheid> They keep talking about something called Gourdon Freemam. It's weird.
17:31 <Cepheid> Freeman*
17:48 * Cepheid takes a dagger and tries to chip at a strange spherical n-gon. The n-gon appears to have a crack in it, from which a bright light radiates, and intense heat vents from.
17:49 <Schism> "Might you be Gordon--" "Frohman." "Oh."
18:01 <Cepheid> I see this thing in my mind frequently. I want to break it open, but I am unsure how. How do you open something that exists within your mind, and has no physical form that you can manipulate?
18:02 <Schism> Imagine how it might open?
18:02 <LibrarianofHope> trump made steaks

18:04 <Cepheid> The problem is, there doesn't appear to be any visible hinges or anything. There is a fracture, a small opening, but it isn't meant to be there, based on the rest of the structure of the container. I *KNOW* what it contains to. I want it released. Potential effects to my mental health be damned.

18:10 <Schism> Yeah. A man who is wholeheartedly wrong about virtually everything else.
18:10 <Cepheid> He has been acting characteristically out of character for the last several months now.
18:10 <LibrarianofHope> ahh
18:10 <LibrarianofHope> we are living in a very badly written history
18:10 <LibrarianofHope> and however is the protagonist is lousy at their job
18:11 <Cepheid> He's been acting sane with respect to Coronavirus and COVID-19.
18:11 <Cepheid> It has been... Weird.
18:12 <Cepheid> This is a man who cut down the size of the Toronto City Council to further his own agenda, and has emplaced sweeping cuts to many areas that currently require more funding than they are getting by far.
18:13 <Cepheid> All under the guise of it being for the poor and downtrodden who need these services and areas.
18:14 <Cepheid> It makes absolutely no sense. He went from someone claiming to be "for the people" while repeatedly screwing over said people, to someone who in comparison to the province next door, has been handling the pandemic expertly.
18:14 <Schism> Perhaps in this case, he sees which way the wind is blowing.
18:15 <Cepheid> I'm suspecting that he is listening because he knows it'll keep the government in power at the next election, yes.
18:16 <Cepheid> Plus, when your constituents are dead, they can't vote for you.
18:17 <Schism> Yes.
18:17 <Cepheid> Anyways, what did he do this time, Schism?

18:17 <Schism> Eh, just announced that even after July 21st he's considering keeping the Ontario-US border closed for all nonessentials.
18:18 <Cepheid> Honestly that should be a federal thing.
18:18 <Schism> Well, that's echoing Trudeau in this case.
18:18 <Schism> I imagine PMs could put pressure on to keep the border closed.
18:19 <Cepheid> The situation down there has gotten so bad I don't even know where to start.
18:19 <Cepheid> I mean for ***** sake, Trump is suggesting that they reduce testing because testing leads to higher numbers of cases.
18:20 <Schism> I know. I know, it's insane.
18:20 * Schism has a rock which he carries at all times. "It keeps away tigers."
18:21 <Cepheid> It is gonna be interesting to watch international relations in the future, because it is clear the US government would like to falsify information for it's benefit now. I don't see how other governments are going to be able to trust the US with knowledge of this.
18:21 <Schism> Of course it doesn't. It's just a stupid rock! But I don't see any tigers around here, do you?
18:22 <Schism> Yeah. They're... basically frittering away any semblance of trust the US might have garnered.
18:22 <Cepheid> ... Okay, Amazon, are you alright? Why are you sending me email of services and such that are specifically targeted at small to medium businesses?
18:23 <Cepheid> Did their algorithms and cookie tracking and other stuff suddenly decide that I am somehow a one-person business?
18:23 *** Joins: Fn (Eogan@Pony-2n1uag.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
18:24 <Cepheid> Truth told this has been happening more and more lately. Getting emails and such that imply I am a business or working for a business.
18:24 <Cepheid> With advertising to go with it.
18:25 <Cepheid> Next thing you know, Rogers is going to call and demand I start paying for a small business Internet plan.
18:25 <Schism> Sheesh.
18:26 * Schism shakes his head. "Ah well. I should get to work now. Those bugs in the website won't explain themselves away."
18:27 * Cepheid takes a metaphorical sledgehammer and strikes the container with it. No reaction other than it bouncing around.
18:33 <Cepheid> More and more, as I bear witness to this thing, I desire to return to my old beliefs that I assumed were madness at one point in my life. I wonder if it is safe to do that.
18:34 <Cepheid> In acknowledging the existence of these beliefs, I feel a strange sort of calmness.
18:35 <Cepheid> My problem with it is the aspect in which it focuses around.
18:37 <Cepheid> Imagine explaining to someone that you worship an embodiment of the aspect of destruction, the death of things, the ceasing of existence of things. Things that have existed for too long, or have defied some natural order that I have yet to grasp or understand.
18:48 <Cepheid> Perhaps I am thinking about thus wrong. What if the container is already opened? The fracture. Perhaps the problem is that I believe the thing within it can move outside of it's own will, when it cannot?

19:20 <Finwe> o3o
19:21 * Finwe noms on Ali's wonky connection.
19:38 <Cepheid> I want to go to the hospital, but I can't bring myself to request this or do it of my own volition.
19:50 <Finwe> Miss TwilightSparkle.
19:50 * Finwe doffs his hat.
19:50 <Finwe> Mr Cepheid.
19:51 * Finwe redoffs his hat.
19:51 <Cepheid> Finwe.
19:51 <LibrarianofHope> Finweeeee
19:51 * LibrarianofHope doffs finwe
19:52 <Finwe> Mr LibrarianofHope.
19:52 * Finwe doffs his hat.
19:52 <LibrarianofHope> doff totem
19:52 <LibrarianofHope> doffception
20:02 <Cepheid> The primary reason I don't want to go to the hospital of my own volition is because the ER is for emergencies, and outside of my concern that this infection is resistant to antibiotics, presnisone, and is causing shortness of breath, it isn't really an emergency, and I'd just be wasting their time.
20:06 <Cepheid> Ngghhh. Got a headache again. On one hand, they aren't the usual sinus headaches. On the other hand, they still hurt.

23:08 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.
23:23 <Cepheid> I am, under no circumstances, to come within several meters of someone who refuses to wear a face mask for stupid reasons. I cannot guarantee their safety.
23:28 <LibrarianofHope> twix!
23:28 * LibrarianofHope does the omnomnom
23:29 * Schism passes around a bag of Twix bites. Also, offers LibrarianofHope some Jarritos candy.
23:30 <LibrarianofHope> jarrito candy?
23:30 <LibrarianofHope> thtas a thing?
23:30 <Schism> I can't imagine why not. A tamarind candy seems like it should exist.
23:30 <LibrarianofHope> ahh those
23:30 <LibrarianofHope> yeah tamarindo
23:31 <LibrarianofHope> Jarrito is a famous brand of soda, so i though of that first
23:31 <LibrarianofHope> where do you get that?
23:31 <Schism> Yes, I thought I'd seen Jarritos candy, themed after the sodas, but I guess I was mistaken.
23:31 <LibrarianofHope> in canada i mean
23:31 <Schism> Eh, quite a number of bodegas stock that.
23:32 <LibrarianofHope> is there an old lady that looks like abuela coco in any of them?
23:32 <Schism> Quite possibly!
23:32 <LibrarianofHope> buy from those
23:32 <LibrarianofHope> those have the good stuff
23:40 <Finwe> Mr Schism.
23:40 * Finwe doffs his hat.
23:43 <LibrarianofHope> Finwe!
23:43 <LibrarianofHope> do you like sabaton?
23:44 * Ali flops over Schism and gwumps
23:46 <LibrarianofHope> been listening ot sabaton all day
