03:52 <Cepheid> Nah.
03:52 <Cepheid> I knew that there'd be more fireworks.
03:53 <Cepheid> I told someone on Reddit who didn't know what Canada Day was, that effectively, the usual response to it here is to spend approximately June 30th to July 5th setting off fireworks every night. We use July 4th as an excuse to set off more fireworks, even if we don't care about it. :P

04:09 <Cepheid> Heh.
04:09 <Cepheid> I once had a battery doing that.
04:09 <Cepheid> It was from my old Macbook Pro.
04:09 * Divide flailyhooves. "Did you toss it off a mountain, at which point it exploded halfway down?"
04:09 <Cepheid> It swelled so much the touchpad was non-functional. The pressure up against it prevented it from being pressed down.
04:10 <Cepheid> No. I did leave it in the garage, away from anything flammable.
04:10 <Cepheid> Basically I placed it in the middle of the garage to sit there until we could properly dispose of it.
04:10 <Divide> Were you able to before it took out your car?
04:10 <Cepheid> Since we never parked our cars in the garage, yes.
04:11 * Divide flails. X3
04:11 <Cepheid> As a result of all that, I got a bunch of laptop components sitting around. If I could get a small enough cardboard box, I could probably put together a small desktop computer.
04:12 * Cepheid disassembled the laptop after that battery thing.
04:12 <Divide> Just affix them to a LEGO framework.
04:12 <Cepheid> I don't have enough standard LEGO blocks to do that with.
04:12 <Cepheid> The other thing I need is a power adapter, too.
04:12 <Divide> Ah, that's a bit trickier.
04:13 <Divide> This isn't... quite my life in reverse, but it's pretty close. https://twitter.com/LizardbethArt/status/1278840482668384256
04:15 <Cepheid> Actually it's not.
04:15 <Cepheid> You can find power adapters for practically every type of laptop out there on Amazon or eBay.
04:16 <Cepheid> Oh, Schism, since it came up recently for me, if you ever have to install Windows 10, and are concerned about privacy stuff...
04:16 <Cepheid> https://www.w10privacy.de/english-home/
04:16 <Cepheid> This is a tool that can disable a lot of different features of Windows 10, many of which do telemetry stuff.
04:17 <Divide> Thank you. I might just have to install that, then: I'll add it to my list of ways to completely screw over Microsoft's little data-collection ... I'll leave it at that.
04:17 <Divide> Or just say 'panopticon'.
04:17 <Cepheid> Also does a good job of freeing up various resources.
04:18 <Divide> But of course.
04:18 <Divide> WUFUC is nice in that regard, too.
04:18 <Divide> That's for Windows 7 and 8.
04:20 <Cepheid> I unfortunately can't use any lower than Windows 10. Motherboard was designed in such a way that attempts to do so are met with problems.
04:20 <Cepheid> Usually in the form of the NVMe drive not being recognized.
04:20 <Divide> That's kind of part of what WUFUC was meant to solve... but unfortunately, I run into those too. So I guess I'll have to get Windows 10... eh. Soon.
04:21 <Finwe> Well, Win 8 was crap, anyhoof.
04:21 <Finwe> 8.1 not so much.
04:22 <Divide> 8.1 was pretty decent. Much like XP before the service packs.
04:22 <Divide> Or Windows 98. Heh.
04:22 <Finwe> Then there's…
04:22 * Finwe shivers.
04:22 <Finwe> Vista.
04:23 <Divide> Mind you, I mean XP -after- the service packs in that case, and 98 SE.
04:23 <Divide> But you know that.
04:23 <Divide> Vista, meanwhile, was an unholy abomination.
04:23 <Finwe> Indeed.
04:23 <Divide> Not expecially fond of Windows NT 4, either, though for different reasons.
04:24 <Divide> Mostly that people held onto it for entirely too long.
04:24 <Cepheid> I pretty much used XP from the get-go.
04:24 <Cepheid> Part of the reasoning for that has to do with compatibility.
04:25 <Finwe> I rather liked Windows 2000.
04:25 <Cepheid> Later versions of Windows generally drop compatibility for software in favor of fixing bugs in the API.
04:25 * Divide offers Finwe some of this chicken, ham, celery, onion, squash and carrot soup, with extra garlic.
04:25 <Divide> It's more of a mixed porridge, but it's warming and filling.
04:26 * Finwe accepts, although soup is not among the most conventional breakfast delicacies.
04:26 <PinkieShy> This person is trying to talk to me the person that caused the panic attack last night..
04:26 <PinkieShy> I can't find the words to say 'hi' to them.. :/
04:26 <Divide> Finwe: A good porridge is.
04:26 <Divide> Pease porridge especially. o3o
04:26 <Finwe> If we believe Richard Martin, and why shouldn't we?
04:27 <Divide> Keeps you fed, sticks to your stomach, and provides energy all day. o5o;
04:27 <Finwe> He claimed that he's made "substantial progress" on Winds of Winter.
04:27 * Cepheid looks at the room he is in. Looks at the layout of the map. "... This is a boss room."
04:27 <Finwe> Ross boom.
04:28 <Divide> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54r8t_5ayto
04:28 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
04:28 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Final Fantasy VIII - Boss Battle Music - Force Your Way EXTENDED
04:29 <Divide> Or, if you prefer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pd0ALPOhnQ
04:31 <Cepheid> Huh. I was wrong.
04:33 <PinkieShy> Is it.. Wrong to not be able to talk..
04:33 <PinkieShy> Like to feel like it would take a ton of strength to say hi to a person..
04:33 <PinkieShy> and not just a person but one you can't trust..
04:33 <Ali> PinkieShy, I struggle with that all the time
04:34 * PinkieShy cries a little
04:34 * PinkieShy hugs Ali
04:49 * Divide listens to Wayward Daughter on loop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMv9uiQsXvg
04:52 <PinkieShy> It took me a few minutes but... I said 'hello' even though not like normal it was silentish
04:56 <Ali> Everytime I feel like I say hello to people online
04:56 <Ali> I get absolutely nothing back
04:56 <Ali> Now I understand there's a chance they're busy
04:56 <Ali> But just not getting anything back just kinda stings a bit.
04:59 * Cepheid pets Spitfire. He's shedding like mad.
05:00 <Cepheid> I learned long ago that responding to a greeting is more just a polite formality. It isn't a necessity. So, I don't do it.
05:02 <Cepheid> I just removed a small kitten worth of fur from Spitfire.
05:02 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.
05:03 * Divide zaps the smol kitten with static electricity. Suddenly, Cepheid has three cats.
05:03 * Ali flops
05:03 <Divide> Cepheid: Bald as you are, I'm just imagining you going around with Spitfire on your head, meowing at people as they pass.
05:05 <Divide> You, not Spitfire. Through a mask of course.
05:05 <Cepheid> I wish.
05:05 <Cepheid> Spitfire doesn't rest on my shoulders or head or anything like that.
05:05 <Divide> Alas. :<
05:06 <Cepheid> Knew a friend who had a black cat, looked exactly like Spitfire. Said cat would wrap itself around her neck when she sat down.
05:06 <Cepheid> Also, sadly, if another cat came into this house? It'd be hairless, so you can't zap fur into a cat. :P
05:08 <Divide> Hm, Twitter's down, or slow. Well, that's fine.
05:09 * PrincessRainbows cuddles up next with Ali and nods
05:13 <Cepheid> Slow.
05:16 <Divide> Hum. Whether or not I'm going to proceed right now, a bit of a self-image adjustment has done my mentality a surprising amount of good. Especially as I haven't really had a self-image.
05:20 * Ali has almost given up on that, self image means little when nobody wants you around.
05:21 * Divide hugs Ali. "I'm sorry. I've been ... overwhelmingly depressed for the longest time, too."
05:22 <Ali> Well I lost my means of socialization, and looks like its not coming back anytime soon due to US stupidity
05:23 <Divide> And Magic by camera, or other means... just isn't the same, I know.
05:23 <Ali> Draft doesn't even work under the circumstances
05:24 <Ali> eight people touching the packs
05:24 <Divide> Egh, yeah.
05:24 * PrincessRainbows just flops and curls up
05:25 <Ali> There were rumblings of standard restarting, but I'm sure that got pushed back now
05:25 <Ali> But my problem with Standard is well, its a money game at that point
05:25 <Ali> Draft was a level playing field, down to luck but also skill and knowledge to use what you're given
05:26 <Ali> Standard is just pick a tier one deck and throw money at it
05:26 <Ali> Commander is a similar issue depending on the card power of each player is
05:27 <Ali> But my factor is that I have no friends to just safely hang out with and play
05:27 <Divide> And, really... that's all there is to it...
05:27 * Divide hugs Ali virtually, at least. And blehs...
05:27 <Ali> Well its also another reason I don't do Magic Arena
05:27 <Ali> Sure its free to play
05:27 <Divide> Ahahahahahah
05:27 <Divide> Sorry, carry on.
05:27 <Ali> but the game doesn't pair you up well
05:27 <Ali> Yes Arena is pay to play/win
05:27 <Divide> Oh, aye.
05:28 <Ali> Like say I'm running a jank mono green deck
05:28 <Ali> What do I see when I want to earn coins
05:28 <Ali> T1 tourny decks
05:28 <Divide> eww.
05:28 <Ali> So its not even fair, and make the already bad grind even worse
05:28 <Ali> Cause to draft you need coins
05:29 <Ali> Can't earn coins unless you play and win
05:29 <Divide> Like, what's even the point at that stage? Even at its least fair, Blizzard's Hearthstone was a little better.
05:29 <Ali> Oh it gets worse Divide
05:29 <Ali> Set rotations
05:29 <Divide> I know it does, because it's Wizards of the Coast.
05:29 <Ali> So I haven't touched Arena since Throne of Eldrane
05:29 <Divide> Probably for the best. Grmbl...
05:30 <Ali> So what little card pool I have
05:30 <Divide> Ali, would you like to fire rockets at hedgehogs? Just for now? If not, that's 'kay.
05:30 <Ali> Suddenly evaporates down to Throne of Eldrane and current
05:30 <Divide> Gghhhhn.
05:30 <Ali> No thanks, not in the mood.
05:30 * Divide nods.
05:30 <Ali> So now your card pool that you tried to build up before roation
05:30 <Divide> And yup, that would... preclude you from buying ANYTHING.
05:30 <Ali> Now becomes legacy
05:30 <Divide> Where you are now useless.
05:30 <Ali> So when the new standard starts
05:31 <Ali> All you have is the cards from Throne of Eldrane
05:31 <Ali> No Theros, No Ikoria, and no M21
05:31 <Divide> Here, Ali. You might give this a lightly amused PFF. https://twitter.com/RedIzaK/status/1278621945827856390
05:31 * Divide also nods. :<
05:31 <Ali> So you're so deep in a hole, plus don't have access to the endless amounts of wildcards players have that can just piss money at it
05:32 <Ali> You have to EARN the card, which is an RNG of 50+ cards
05:32 <Ali> Wildcards are a nice thing
05:32 <Ali> But Rare and Mythic Rare wildcards are very uncommon
05:32 <Divide> I don't even know why anyone would-- no, I know why people play that, but it doesn't make me much happier.
05:32 <Ali> So want that sweet playset of some mythic rare? You got to get lucky
05:32 <Divide> Or spend $2,000
05:33 <Ali> Its not THAT bad
05:33 <Ali> Cause each rare cannot spawn more than 4 times
05:33 <Divide> Sure. It's only $1999 plus tax?
05:33 <Divide> That doesn't help!
05:33 <Ali> Well its better than pulling a dud mythic rare again
05:33 <Divide> How, exactly.
05:34 <Ali> If you already own 4 copies of a rare or mythic rare, its taken out of the card pool to spawn
05:34 <Ali> Thus you'll never see a 5th copy of any card
05:34 <Divide> Which is nice to know. Does the same apply to commons and uncommons?
05:34 <Ali> In a slightly obsucre and different way
05:34 <Divide> Alright. Wow me with their logic.
05:35 <Ali> You still get the same commons and uncommons, but they get stored into a hidden thing once you get past 4 copies of the same card
05:35 * Divide begins to eyebrow.
05:35 <Ali> Then 'supposedly' after like thousands of dupes, you can get a chest full of wildcards
05:35 * Divide eyebrows a bit more.
05:35 <Ali> by that I mean probably 3 uncommon, 2 rare, and 1 mythic wildcard
05:35 <Divide> [Eyebrow intensifies.]
05:35 <Ali> I dunno, never played long enough to earn one
05:36 <Ali> Kinda get tired of watching red deck wins beat the crap out of you cause you're playing a jank deck
05:36 <Divide> Thank you, Ali. I might have been tempted to play Magic Online, but I think I'll avoid it like the (#$*ing PLAGUE RATS.
05:36 <Ali> Its Magic Areana, not Magic Online
05:36 <Divide> You see these six eggs?
05:36 <Ali> Two separate money grubbers
05:37 * Divide chuckles darkly, though. "Not that it makes THAT much of a difference."
05:37 <Ali> The one thing I don't like, especially drafting
05:37 <Ali> Is that you're not put into a pod of other players
05:38 <Ali> But against random bots AND one person's pod might be a bajillion times better than yours
05:38 <Ali> So this causes a power level problem
05:38 <Ali> If say no mythic rares were opened in my pod
05:38 <Ali> And the guy you're playing against has like three mythic rares
05:38 <Ali> Sure you can win, but they have a lot more powerful stuff than you
05:39 <Divide> And... they get to keep it?
05:39 <Ali> Yes, you keep what you draft
05:39 <Divide> I mean, Magic has always been a game of chance and luck, but come on.
05:39 <Ali> But I'm just saying, you remember that bullshit thing with Oko right?
05:39 <Divide> Eventually the online games are going to shut down-- no, I don't.
05:39 <Divide> Oh, yes I do.
05:40 <Ali> He was so busted, he got banned in just about every format
05:40 <Divide> Except online?
05:40 <Ali> In draft, he's not banned
05:40 <Divide> So of course all the NPCs get him.
05:40 <Ali> No, you never play against NPC's in Arena
05:40 <Ali> Except the super stupid bot that plays generic trash decks
05:40 <Divide> Oh, okay. Still, what the HELL?
05:41 <Divide> Congratulations, lucky random player! YOU WIN THE EVERYTHING.
05:41 <Ali> But the examlpe stands as this
05:41 <Ali> That's what I mean
05:41 <Ali> You might fight a guy who has two Oko
05:41 <Ali> But the best thing your pod could've seen was a trash mythic
05:41 <Ali> And removing Oko is a *yay* in draft
05:41 <Divide> Of course.
05:42 <Ali> He's an I win card
05:42 <Ali> Put down something threatening, turn it into an elk
05:42 <Divide> Ali, I wish I could play Magic: Arena against you, but...
05:42 <Ali> Suddenly that 5/5 Flying haste first strike lifelinker
05:42 <Ali> Becomes a 3/3 elk with no abilities
05:43 <Ali> AND to make it worse, it was a plus effect
05:43 <Divide> Until it's graveyarded, exiled, or RTS'd.
05:43 <Divide> Yeah. A PLUS effect?
05:43 <Ali> Yeah, unless it got bounced or removed from the battlefield
05:43 <Ali> Oko screwed it over
05:43 <Divide> What the hell? Give Oko a nice bonus for turning an enemy's creature into fluffy venison?
05:43 <Ali> He was a three mana plainswalker
05:43 <Ali> With 4 loyalty
05:43 <Divide> Yeah.
05:43 <Ali> Two plus abilites
05:43 <Divide> And then just win the game.
05:43 <Ali> It was busted
05:43 <Ali> Cause by turn 4, he'd have six loyalty
05:44 <Ali> And if you weren't playing murderous rider or the other screw a green PW card
05:44 <Divide> Look, it's not hard to fix that kind of roundabout. Just say, "Hey, look! You got an Oko! It stays in your deck until THE DAMNED DRAFT ROUND IS DONE."
05:44 <Ali> There was no way to remove his sorry ass from the battlefield
05:44 <Divide> Stays out of your deck*
05:44 <Ali> If I had Oko, I'd never see it
05:44 <Ali> But against it
05:44 <Ali> Its always turn 3 oko
05:45 <Divide> It's ultimately just... no.
05:45 <Ali> Like, your deck is 40 cards
05:45 <Ali> How can you get that SAME GUY each time RIGHT on curve
05:45 <Divide> 2 mana search, 3 mana Oko.
05:45 <Ali> Nah, worse
05:45 <Ali> Turn 1 mana, mana dork
05:45 <Ali> Turn 2 land Oko *trollface*
05:46 <Divide> That's enough to make me think that some people are manipulating the client. And if Magic: Arena is using clientside anything, then I'm just out, no question, no qualm.
05:46 <Ali> I have no idea, but I don't like Magic Arena cause they cap you on coins per day
05:46 <Ali> Quests are one per day
05:46 <Ali> Up to a max of three
05:47 <Ali> And after so many wins, there's no point of playing anymore for free
05:47 <Ali> And I don't like games that force a timeout on you
05:48 <Ali> Sorry for the rant...
05:48 <Ali> Just I miss magic, its fun
05:48 <Ali> And I'm upset cause they just reprinted Ugin from Dragons of Takir in M21
05:49 <Ali> And since I have nobody to play magic with, there's no point of getting an M21 box

05:58 <Divide> I fear that you've found the opposite. Rather than providing healthcare for a papercut which induces sepsis, the US healthcare system would rather ignore it until it becomes a pre-existing condition, at which point they don't have to pay for it.
06:00 * Finwe has some work at the brewery today.
06:01 <Finwe> We're trying to brew a Belgian saison seasoned with tomatoes.
06:01 <Finwe> o3o
06:01 <Finwe> See you later, everypony!
06:01 <Divide> That's an interesting idea, and I'm very interested in hearing how it goes.
06:03 <Cepheid> I have played so much of this series that this current mission doesn't surprise me.
06:03 <Cepheid> And in fact, I'm kind of impressed.
06:06 <Cepheid> Janitor had a friend who was sick and dying. Took lessons in various sciences on the Borderlands equivalent of the Internet. Experiments afterwards. Manages to find a way to transfer a human brain to another body. In particular, that of a ratch. Saved his buddy. Who, despite being a ratch, can talk. A ratch by the way is a rat-cockroach hybrid.
06:07 <Cepheid> Normally this would be distressing and terrifying, but that's honestly quite impressive.
06:10 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/oTZszci.jpg It's pretty much as ugly as it sounds.

06:21 * PrincessRainbows yawns and boops Ali's horn
06:37 <Divide> Okay. Folks, guys, gals, et cetera...
06:38 <Divide> I know it's tempting to use a particular turn of phrase, but if you refer to a certain classification of human being as a 'Karen', that is doing a disservice to the many people who are named "Karen", who are doing wonderful, magnificent things.
06:38 <Divide> So please don't.
06:38 <Ali> Gotta love meme labelings..
06:39 <Divide> Yeah. I just brought it up in a quorum thread and I don't know how the response is going to go.
06:39 <Divide> Probably well.
06:39 <Ali> About as well as an online thread could go
06:39 <Divide> I mean, "That's so Ali", she said, meaning something stupid and adorable.
06:39 <Ali> Aka Flamewar
06:39 <Ali> Hey I'm not Twilighting
06:39 * Divide boops the Ali. :P
06:40 * Ali squeaks
06:40 <Divide> Nah, I know.
06:40 <Ali> Or just react like twilight did
06:40 <Ali> I'M A VERB!!
06:40 <Divide> To Ali (v): to be abashedly adorable.
06:40 <Ali> And not cute
06:40 <Divide> Adorable is a subset of cute.
06:41 <Ali> Still not either of those
06:41 * Divide snuggles the Ali.
06:41 <Ali> Cute ponies usually don't live the lonely life
06:41 <Divide> Unless they're cute and introverted.
06:42 <Ali> I try to go out and do things
06:42 <Ali> Just the world is not quite safe enough to be doing those things
06:42 <Divide> It really isn't.
06:42 * Divide grumpycakes next to Ali.
06:43 * Divide giggles. "Okay, now this is weird. For some reason, being... okay, inner voice, huh."
06:43 <Ali> Wut?
06:43 <Divide> Ali, do you hear a voice in your head when you think things? This is kind of like that 'imagine an apple' bit.
06:44 <Ali> No, not really
06:44 <Divide> How peculiar. I hear a voice in my head with every sentence I type.
06:45 <Ali> I usually have to deal with sadness or loneliness
06:45 * Divide hugs Ali. "People are weird. And... snrrk. There's two people in my head now."
06:46 * Divide also boops the Ali. "Now there's confusion!"
06:46 <Ali> I deal with being an only child, and no IRL friends.
06:46 <Ali> So this lockdown has exasperated my issues
06:46 <Divide> I write people. Aaaand they're kind of swarming me...
06:47 * Divide mentally grabs a rolled-up newspaper and swats the Schism.
06:47 * Ali headtilts
06:47 <Divide> Ali: Self-actualization, weirdly.
06:48 * Ali shrugs and flops over.
06:48 <Divide> I'm like, 'drrrr, I've been obviously kind of not who I really am for 30+ years'.
06:48 * Divide hugs Ali anyway, and puts both Luna and Celly on her.
06:49 <Ali> But those cats hate me at times
06:49 * Divide boops the Ali again. "They're cats!"
06:50 <Divide> Cats hate everyone. My cat hated me. And then sat on my chest and just drooled over my neck.
06:50 <Ali> Pft
06:50 <Divide> Woke up so many times...~
06:51 <Ali> I had a cat that once she got to 14-15 years old, that's when she started to be ok with me.
06:51 <Divide> I'm sure that Luna and Celly will be fine after, like, six or seven.
06:52 * Divide sticks her tongue out at Ali.
06:52 <Ali> Who knows
06:52 <Divide> You'll be fine. They're cats. Feed them, pet them when they come, ignore them when they don't. That's kinda just the epitome of cat.
06:52 <Ali> Yeah I know
06:52 <Divide> Besides, the more you don't want them around, the more they'll lounge on your keyboard.
06:52 <Ali> But sometimes I want to just have one on my lap
06:53 * Divide raises a hoof. "Don't want them on your lap."
06:53 <Ali> They show up to bother me like once for five minutes or so before buggering off
06:53 <Ali> I'd like a lapcat
06:53 <Divide> Hold a controller in your lap. The cat will get jealous.
06:53 <Ali> But I guess I screwed that up when they were young.
06:53 <Ali> Pft, these cats aren't jelly of anything
06:54 <Divide> You're paying too much attention to them, Ali~ Ignore them for a day or so. Just let them bump up against your leg without a response.
06:54 <Divide> Outside of feeding them, of course.
06:54 <Ali> That's about every day it feels like
06:54 * Ali flops over the Divide and yawns
06:55 * Divide snuggles the Ali again. And grmbls.
06:55 <Ali> Why grumbls?
06:55 <Divide> Because I've been a derp for most of my life, in a way which might have led to me being less of a derp had I just realized it?
06:56 *** Quits: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
06:58 <Divide> Though if I'm thinking about the split of the trousers of time, then I could go on and on and say "Hey, if only I'd done THIS, maybe Cozy Glow would never have been born!"
06:59 <Divide> ...
06:59 *** Divide is now known as Schism
06:59 <Schism> I am both Screw it. Schism, female Changeling. whatever. This is just a helpful nickname anyway.
06:59 * Schism throws up her hooves, "Bow before me, I am legion!"
07:00 * Ali nibbles on Schism ears instead
07:01 <Ali> Never knew this was a female changling
07:01 * Schism myeeps! and swats at Ali, ineffectually.
07:01 <Schism> (Or as effectually as ever.)
07:01 * Ali shrugs, nuzzles Schism regardlessly
07:01 <Schism> Meh, changeling fem, changeling masc. Either works.
07:02 * Schism snuggles the Ali anyway. And provides with a slice of pineapple pizza.
07:02 * Ali yays and noms on the sweet pizza
07:02 <Ali> I don't care either way, you be you
07:03 * Ali pat pats the Schism
07:03 <Schism> I am me! It is also interesting that while I have 'sk-hizm' as one pronunciation of my name, I also have 'shh-issm' as another. And in accordance, I am also happy with my name.
07:03 <Schism> It is appropriate on so many levels. :3
07:04 <Ali> I guess, I dunno
07:04 * Ali still snuggles on the Schism
07:04 <Schism> Eh, it's an etymological debate.
07:04 * Schism hugs the Ali anyway. And provides daffodil leaves preserved in a maple syrup crunch.
07:05 <Ali> Not gonna go into that in public myself
07:05 * Ali just snuggles and noms the foods Schism gives.
07:07 * Schism looks at Real Life Comics. "... well, that's kind of just everything in my life ever."
07:08 * Ali pat pats the Schism so much then
07:09 <Schism> It's all right. I mean, eh. I've never had much of a personal impression of myself. It's all right. And I still have a dozen or more different characters bouncing around in my psyche, but... guess it's about time I realized that I need a voice of my own.
07:10 <Ali> I'm lost a little but I think I understand?
07:11 *** Quits: Reia_Hope (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony) (Connection closed)
07:11 <Schism> It's kind of weird, Ali. I've always been strongly disassociative. Have you ever written a character, and then had her argue with you?
07:11 <Ali> No?
07:12 * Schism grins. "It's said that's when a character becomes truly real -- when they start arguing with the author. 'Wait~! I wouldn't do it THIS way!'
07:13 <Ali> See I'm not very creative
07:13 <Ali> Ali was the closest thing I've ever had to an OC, but story kinda broke apart.
07:13 <Schism> That's all right. Have you ever had someone else's voice in your head, like a friend or family member? That's kind of like what I mean...
07:13 <Ali> So she floats around in limbo, never really developed
07:14 <Ali> Schism, I told you earlier, no siblings, no friends, family is also fairly distant.
07:14 <Schism> Mmrfgh... right...
07:14 <Schism> But Ali, she still floats in your head? Says things now and again?
07:14 <Ali> Nope
07:14 <Ali> I might have dreams of the character
07:14 <Schism> Maybe I'm weirder than I thought...
07:14 <Ali> But the character never talks to me
07:15 <Schism> That's very strange. Because I hear you talking to me. ... probably nowhere near your actual voice, but still.
07:16 <Schism> This is kind of like that apple meme taken up to eleven, because... you really don't hear text as you read it?
07:16 * Ali hugs, Schism is silly
07:16 * Schism hugs the Ali, and blinks. She is definitely silly.
07:19 <Cepheid> Yer not weird, Schism. You're just you.
07:19 <Schism> Cepheid, do you hear words when you read them?
07:20 <Cepheid> Yes.
07:20 <Cepheid> In fact, I hear it with everything I read, even the stuff I write. I think that's normal, to be honest.
07:20 * Schism reaches over to her bookshelf, and grabs a book of Shakespeare. "Life as tedious as a twice-told tale--" She slams the book shut. "No. Bad narrative."
07:21 <Cepheid> There's a reason I am not a poetic person or someone interested in poetry, as a result.
07:21 <Ali> And remember, hit alt F4 to continue~
07:21 <Cepheid> I cannot read poetry "right." It doesn't sound right when I recite it, be it verbally or internally.
07:22 <Schism> It does depend upon how you actually take voices. I've always had a poetic voice, though... I suspect I'm going to have issues with that down the line. Either way. I could certainly read The Raven with magnificence...
07:22 <Schism> Cepheid, I suspect that your hearing issues might have something to do with that.
07:23 <Cepheid> The only form of poetry I can recite properly is haiku, because that's meant to be read/spoken like natural speech, from what I've seen and heard. No special timing.
07:23 <Schism> 5/7/5, certainly. But I suspect you might have an idea as to how a cadence goes, even if you're unclear on the precise nature.
07:24 <Schism> A cadence grows and shows a certain pattern in its ways: a building of a trope to be remembered all the days.
07:25 <Schism> Think of how that sentence dips and falls.
07:25 <Schism> And that last, heh.
07:25 <Cepheid> Mmm. That's what I'm referring to when I say I can't recite poetry. I can't get the cadence of it right. The rise and dips, the speed.
07:25 <Cepheid> I know it's supposed to be there, but I cannot infer it.
07:26 <Schism> A sine wave might not be a bad idea in cases like these.
07:27 <Schism> Let every second syllable be stressed in each its way.
07:28 <Schism> Haikus are definitely simpler, to be sure. Heh. I'm sorry, Cepheid. I know that a lot of people don't quite get it.
07:28 <Schism> And just like I don't get certain aspects of mathematics -- well.
07:29 <Cepheid> I have bigger concerns than being able to recite poetry correctly. :P
07:29 <Cepheid> The biggest concern about it really is that it is just another sign of my uncultured nature. Purely focused in what I do, and not much else.
07:30 * Schism waves a hoof up at the air. "Ah, but programming is poetry!" she espouses, before being taken down by an unsigned integer.
07:30 * Schism drops a purple gun.
07:30 <Cepheid> Heh.
07:31 <Cepheid> Programming isn't poetry. I... You know, I don't know what to call it. It's not language, either. Not in the conventional sense, anyways.
07:31 <Schism> It is logic.
07:32 <Schism> But there's a poetry in logic, a poetry in language, and a poetry in mathematics.
07:35 <Cepheid> You know, I never did have that chat with you from the other night.
07:35 <Cepheid> 'Course, I know what it's about at this point, and you seem to have resolved it, so it's... moot at this point?
07:37 <Schism> Kinda. Seems pretty silly of me, and I'm sorry if it caused you to worry.
07:38 <Cepheid> Oh, no. I'm just glad that everything worked out for you in the end.
07:38 <Schism> I'm still just a tad concerned about how... well, how everything will go. It's a new path.
07:38 <Schism> Thanks. It hasn't worked out yet, though. Life is life.
07:39 <Schism> And the worst part is, it was ENTIRELY FREAKING OBVIOUS that was what was going on in retrospect.
07:43 <Cepheid> I have to admit, I never said anything because I assumed you knew.
07:43 *** Joins: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-s2f.irn.56.193.IP)
07:43 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift
07:43 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
07:44 <Schism> No worries. I don't believe that might have been helpful from anyone other than an outside source.
07:44 * Schism waves to ConfusionRift, offering a slice of key lime pie.
07:45 <Schism> Cepheid: It was kiiiinda obvious from a younger age, and it's only now that I realized, "Oh, yeah. Durrrr."
07:45 * ConfusionRift noms on the pie. "Thankies!"
07:46 <Schism> So yeah. The question now is the next step to take.
07:49 <Schism> ConfusionRift, do you hear voices when you read text?
07:49 * Ali feels like she's missing half a story, but will not intrude
07:49 * Ali also flops off to the beds
07:49 <Schism> Ali: Turns out that a certain persona online came out as trans, and it's ... kind of obvious that I am now too. So hi!
07:50 <Schism> Or rather that I always have been.
07:50 <Schism> Which, you know.
07:50 * Ali huggles, Schism is Schism to her and she doesn't care either way
07:50 * Schism is indeed Schism! And she hugs the Ali back. And is also Divide, and about sixteen thousand other people.
07:50 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Like a foreign voice reading it back, or just an incoherent voice?
07:50 <Ali> But anyway, bedtimes
07:51 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: Leaving)
07:51 <Schism> Like an actual character voice reading it back.
07:51 <ConfusionRift> Most of the time, yeah.
07:51 <Schism> Hm. And you do assign each of the characters voices, correct?
07:51 <Schism> Though they become more clear as the characters become fleshed out.
07:54 <ConfusionRift> Sorta. My mind voice ranges are pretty small. Though, if a character is deserving of a voice from, let's say a known actor, it kinda puts everything together.
07:54 <Schism> Aye, but even without an actor or actress, my mind supplies one, somehow.
07:55 <Schism> I've never seen Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, but I can assign a voice to the character.
07:56 <Cepheid> Schism, based on previous experience dealing with trans people, first step should probably be to talk to a doctor or psychiatrist. From what I know, it's easier to deal with in Canada than in the US, so you're lucky, there.
07:56 <Cepheid> One of the people I know had to make use of buying drugs from Canada, because there wasn't any sort of support or anything at all in the US.
07:57 <Schism> Aye. That does seem to be my best bet. Thankfully, with diabetes, I do have access to an endo.
07:58 <Cepheid> Only thing of note is you might want to cut back on the drinking.
07:58 <Schism> Yes. I have noticed that it is counterproductive in a number of ways.
07:59 <Cepheid> More concern about the liver.
07:59 <Schism> I suspect that I've been using that as a means by which to suppress that other part of myself. You know. The important part. And that too.
07:59 <Cepheid> Said person I mentioned had developed severe liver complications due to the medication and drinking here and there.
07:59 <Cepheid> They're fine now, but, yeah.
08:00 <Schism> Oh, yes. Well, the various medications do react poorly with a number of drugs, particularly aspirin, alcohol, and mydol.
08:00 <Schism> It would be enormously sensible to simply cut that entirely out for a vast number of reasons.
08:01 * Cepheid hands ConfusionRift the corpse of Gonner. "I don't even-"
08:02 <Schism> 'And Ophelia should have a voice in the third register, not soprano but not bass, but a pleasant alto, simply stating that she is completely and utterly done with this bull[yay] before she dives into the lake.'
08:02 <Cepheid> Huh. Fujifilm is on their way to making 400TB tapes.
08:02 <Schism> ConfusionRift, how do you read my voice, by the way?
08:03 <Schism> Or voice my text, or whatever.
08:05 * Cepheid claps. "Bravo moth, I have no idea why you just flew into my fan, but it killed you."
08:06 <Cepheid> Sitting here, and I notice something flying around my fan. Moments later, a clicking noise as it flew straight into the spinning blades of the fan.
08:07 * Schism just ... imagines such an animation. Sits there while she does.
08:07 <Schism> Can you imagine the thought process?
08:08 <ConfusionRift> That's hard to describe... since I know you're a guy, it went with a male voice. It's more of a softer and quieter voice, rather than a loud or rough one. Can't really describe in detail, since it's not consistent, but it's around that ball park.
08:08 <ConfusionRift> "Hardcore parko-" (splat)
08:08 <Schism> Hah. Well, that's fair. Not a guy, but s'aright, my voice is masculine. And I've heard of worse comparisons than Harry Dresden.
08:09 <Schism> "PARKOUUUUUR!" --Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, breaking into the vault of the damned
08:10 <ConfusionRift> Oh... huh. It's likely to change some now. :P
08:10 <Schism> Ah, you weren't there. Hiya.
08:11 <Schism> Turns out there's some pretty substantial personal revelations going on at the end of Pride month.
08:14 <ConfusionRift> I see.
08:14 <Schism> C'est la vie. So yea. Still me.
08:14 * Cepheid flops. Grabs some water. Starting to feel a little on the hot side, and developing a headache. HYDRATION!
08:15 <Cepheid> Also, what the hell is with this family and not flushing toilets?
08:15 <ConfusionRift> As Ali stated, you're still you, which is what matters.
08:15 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-u30cht.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)
08:15 <Schism> Pretty much. And while that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm still /Schism/, I'm fine with that for now.
08:16 <Cepheid> Except you'll always be Schism to me regardless. :P
08:17 <Cepheid> The name can change, but internally the association with the name "Schism" will always be there.
08:18 <Schism> That's...
08:19 <Cepheid> I don't know how else to express what I mean.
08:19 <Cepheid> I'm talking in terms of how the brain internally functions with regards to memory.
08:19 <Cepheid> Such as associating words with things, like an apple having the words "color" and "red" associated with it.
08:20 <Schism> I appreciate that. However, please don't. If I do so choose to pick another name, then I'd prefer to think of my old one as an alias, rather than an identity.
08:20 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
08:20 <Schism> It's a complicated matter, to say the least.
08:21 <Cepheid> I'm aware.
08:21 <Schism> I have a weird brain, and I can actually disassociate things in a way that's very strange to other people.
08:21 <Cepheid> Guh. My head. x.x;
08:22 <Cepheid> Got to the water too late, I think.
08:22 <Schism> If the name for someone changes, I will immediately flip over and say, "Oh, right. My cousin is Jacob, instead of Jae."
08:22 <Schism> (Random name choice.)
08:22 <Schism> And that probably weirds out a few folks.
08:24 * Cepheid looks at the progress he's achieved in BL3. "... I've only scratched 1/4th of the game in terms of areas. And in terms of missions, 1/3rd."
08:25 <Schism> Cepheid: If you were to change your name to Andrea, solely as an example here, I'd say, "Yup, that's who they are." It's like I'm made of regex.
08:26 <Schism> Also, that BL3 progress... and you are at max level?
08:26 <Cepheid> No.
08:26 <Schism> Ah.
08:26 <Schism> Darnit. I need to get some sleep.
08:27 <Cepheid> I need water, myself.
08:27 * Cepheid downs a litre of water.
08:28 <Cepheid> Oh. Hey. So this is where the game's benchmark takes place. Eden-6.
08:28 <ConfusionRift> It is one of the wider maps in the game.
08:29 <Schism> Also, Cepheid, don't worry. The name I was given will forever remain etched in my brainspace anyway, and .. while I understand it's a concern for many folks, I don't have that problem. Just please do keep in mind that saying "I'll always think of you as [oldname]" is really bad sometimes.
08:29 <Schism> And I'm still Schism anyway, so meh.
08:30 <Schism> Though now that I think of it, I really need a haircut...
08:30 <Cepheid> The word association will eventually be supplanted, one way or another. That, or just be added alongside the existing associations.
08:31 <Schism> Fair enough. Divide, Schism, Breach.
08:31 * Schism shrugs. "You can't disassociate as readily as I can, and frankly put, I wouldn't want you to anyway."
08:32 <Cepheid> I can disassociate in other ways that are far more disturbing, to be honest.
08:32 <Cepheid> In particular, with logic and morality.
08:33 <Schism> While admittedly that's true, have you ever managed to disassociate with yourself so thoroughly that you denied a central aspect of your own existence?
08:33 <Schism> Ugh. not that this is helpful. We both need a lot of help.
08:33 <Cepheid> Currently do.
08:34 <Schism> Hah. The wolf and the fox. What a pair we make.
08:35 <Schism> Okay, not quite the wolf. Sorry.
08:35 <Cepheid> Heh. Don't worry about it.
08:36 <Cepheid> We all have our different quirks and/or... "problems" that we all need to deal with. Part of being human, I think. Or something like that.
08:36 <Schism> Well, one way or the other... yeah. Gotta figure out our own lives.
08:36 <Schism> Well, right now I need to get a good night's sleep, or at least most of one.
08:36 * ConfusionRift nods.
08:37 <ConfusionRift> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwhkAqppf2k&feature=youtu.be This might help.
08:37 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
08:37 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about 4 AM - Animal Crossing: New Horizon Music
08:37 <Cepheid> Mmmhmm. Get some sleep, Schism.
08:37 <Cepheid> I should probably go take my seroquel, myself.
08:38 * Schism waves to everyone, and chuckles. "Figuring out at least a bit of myself, though... I dunno. A step forwards towards actualization. Who knows, maybe it'll work out."
08:39 * Schism smiles just a bit. "Though I think the fact that I'm hearing my voice clearly in my head is at least a step forward."
08:39 <Cepheid> Mine just won't stop screaming right now.
08:39 * ConfusionRift wavies back. "Hope you have a good one. Soon enough, the pieces will fall into place."
08:39 <Cepheid> Been doing that a lot lately. Less so since I stopped taking that other pill.
08:39 <ConfusionRift> Why do I just hear Tom from Tom & Jerry screaming constantly?
08:40 <Schism> Maybe start listening to everything else they're saying...
08:40 <Schism> Except, of course, "Doooon't youuuu beliiiieve ittttt."
08:42 <ConfusionRift> Now I hear Courage laughing... brain, you okay?
08:44 <Schism> Brain currently has self doing the Twilight dance in it. One moment while I revise.
08:45 <Schism> Nah, that's a happy note to get some sleep on. Goodnight, everypony.
08:45 <ConfusionRift> Have a good one. Hope's a good rest.
08:46 <Cepheid> What time is it anyw- ... How the hell is it already quarter to 5 AM?
08:48 * ConfusionRift looks at his clock. "Seems about right."

08:54 * ConfusionRift boots BL3 again. "Let's see how this goes."
08:55 <Cepheid> It was nice killing Junior.
08:55 <ConfusionRift> It's been nothing but a slugfest. Everyone's a cannon fodder, ESPECIALLY bosses.
08:56 <ConfusionRift> You mean Katagawa?
08:56 <Cepheid> Katagawa, yeah.
08:56 <ConfusionRift> Because, funny enough, Atlas guns demolish him fast. :P
08:57 <Cepheid> Yep.
08:57 <Schism> Well, there's for that. Jerghnfdh.
08:57 <Cepheid> As for the game being a slugfest... well, to be honest, the entire series has been that way.
08:57 <Cepheid> It's basically a FPS version of an action RPG game like Diablo or Torchlight.
08:58 <ConfusionRift> Well, I meant more that this DLC feels easier than the rest so far. And, despite bosses now being level 59-60, I have been destroying them fast with level 57 stuff.
08:59 <ConfusionRift> More specifically, with the Hellshock Lv. 57.
09:00 <ConfusionRift> The last three bosses I have dealt with have gone in smoke in like 3 seconds.
09:00 <ConfusionRift> Oh... that's why...
09:00 <ConfusionRift> "Hotfix 3/5/2020: Damage greatly increased. Projectiles per shot increased to 2."

09:02 <ConfusionRift> That's right! It's Axton.
09:02 * ConfusionRift smirks. :P
09:02 <Cepheid> ... =3=
09:06 <Schism> Excuse me. What have I even been doing this past half a decade?
09:06 <Schism> I know I said I was going to sleep, but...
09:07 <Cepheid> What's bugging ye?
09:07 * Schism laughs. "I've been sublimating myself. Just screwing myself over. And now I'm just... realizing how to get past it."
09:08 <Schism> Screw drinking, screw anything else. I think I get it now. Why I was always such a failure. I was just... refusing to let myself be."
09:09 * PrincessRainbows looks up at ConfusionRift and whimpers. Uppy?
09:09 <Schism> It's not quite funny. It's kind of horrific when it all comes together, but... I like the idea that maybe, now that I know myself... I might be able to pull myself together.
09:09 * ConfusionRift grabbies and pets PrincessRainbows.
09:09 <Cepheid> You alright Schism?
09:10 <Schism> No, sleep deprivation is taking its toll. But if I go to bed with a smile on my face, I'll count that as a win.
09:11 <Cepheid> Sun's coming up. Time to adjust my bedroom for sleep, and take my meds.
09:12 <Schism> Profile modification complete. And ugh. Glad you've got blackout curtains...?
09:12 * PrincessRainbows hugs and licks
09:12 <Cepheid> Holy sweet hell, cat.
09:12 <Cepheid> How much hair did you shed last night?
09:12 <Cepheid> Floor
09:13 <Cepheid> Floor is covered in fur.
09:13 <Schism> floor | floof | flof | fof | fuf| fur //
09:14 <PrincessRainbows> Sigh some days are OK till their not
09:14 <Schism> Sorry. I will accept the bite. :<
09:16 * Cepheid hands ConfusionRift a ratch. "It's name is Glenn."
09:17 <ConfusionRift> Aaah, the transplant. :P That was a full 360 into "what just happened?".
09:18 <Cepheid> Ironically I was unphased by any of it.
09:18 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YsAyO9oW00
09:18 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
09:18 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about [High Quality] Chrono Trigger OST 19 - Frog's Theme
09:18 <Cepheid> I've seen so much weirdness from the series in general that Glenn and Terry's mission was downright normal to me./
09:19 <Schism> If Glenn does turn into a frog, I would very much like to know.
09:19 <ConfusionRift> I mean, by that point, it's not out of the norm. I just think that maybe the weird'n'randometer went a little higher this time around.
09:19 <Schism> Why am I still awake?
09:20 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
09:20 <ConfusionRift> The sleep ghosts have not hunted you yet?
09:20 * Schism looks at the bottle of soda in her hand, then glares thereat. "What are you doing pointing at me."
09:21 * PrincessRainbows just curls up under ConfusionRift with her pacifier for sleepies. Nini
09:21 <Schism> I must be entirely too thirsty. This is the obvious explanation.
09:21 <Cepheid> Given the heat, it's possible.
09:23 * Golden flops.
09:27 <Cepheid> Finally, my room can begin to cool off. Downside to all these games pushing the envelope. More heat is generated.
09:27 <Schism> Okay. Now comes the panic attack. Also, yeesh.
09:28 <Schism> I think I might have to actually call off work today if this continues apace. This is not your normal panic attack. This is me going 'hi, world, what odd corners you have.'
09:32 <Cepheid> Might not be a bad idea. You've been working yourself quite hard lately, I find.
09:32 <Schism> Thankfully, that's actually not been that odd!
09:33 <Schism> It's been just a teensy bit stressful, but not to the point of insanity. However, I will be requesting a sick day. I've had precisely one (1) this year.
09:33 <Schism> And this is not skiving off, this is mental health and awareness (#$*ery.
09:34 <ConfusionRift> Call them, take the day off.
09:34 <Schism> Yeah.
09:34 <Schism> And I'll hit up the box and e-mail the operations team too.

09:35 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/x1N8hJm.gifv
09:35 <ConfusionRift> Whatever is going on, it's kinda chewing you up, and it's really not a good idea to work in such conditions. Your mental and physical health come first.
09:36 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/dvkv16xqxg851
09:37 <Schism> Not quite chewing me up in that fashion, ConfusionRift. It is, however, quite thoroughly chewing up my conception of myself.
09:37 <Cepheid> Indeed. Mental health is important. I am living proof of that.
09:37 *** Joins: Double (Double@Pony-n689cb.static.ziggozakelijk.nl)
09:40 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Yes, but it's preventing you from sleeping, and it's becoming the center point of thought and processing. That falls under mental health, even if it's not something that could be considered like psychosis or the such. I would call in, try to get that rest when possible, and take the day to put the pieces together.
09:41 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/i39vhhb9ck851.jpg
09:42 <ConfusionRift> Besides, you have been giving them your all, and as you mentioned you haven't got that much time off. It seems it's a point to slow down a bit.
09:43 * ConfusionRift boops Cepheid's bunny bun.
09:44 <Cepheid> It's worth considering that if it's at the forefront of thought, then there is a chance that at any moment, the load-bearing metaphor could snap, and you end up having an episode at the worst possible time. The risk of working under mental strain is much greater than the benefit. Not worth it.
09:44 <ConfusionRift> ^
09:46 <Schism> There. Three points of contact. Manager, HR, e-mail.
09:46 <Schism> And I don't typically do sick days. I don't typically take any days off. I think I need this one to ... define, or something.
09:48 <Schism> This would, however, be a much better morning if I were able to close my eyes for a few moments without catastrophizing.
09:53 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/5n5aduvzmk851.jpg Here Schism. I found you a psychiatrist.
09:55 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/8dnb31en9h851
09:56 <Schism> Heh, I got no issues, there. So long as the dog can send me to an endo that'll work. :P
10:05 <Cepheid> Right. Sleep time for me. Back at 3PM.
10:05 <Schism> Right... I should maybe sleep, but... I have someone to call in a few hours.

17:26 <Schism> Anti-COVID-19 drug.
17:26 <Tirek> Ah, I see.
17:26 <Tirek> Yep, totes America.
17:27 <Schism> Yerp.

17:30 <Schism> Tirek: I work for $popular_shoe_company. Scalpers are the bane of my existence, in part because there is nobody quite as needy and whiny as them.
17:31 <Schism> "Why were my shoes cancelled?!" "Because they ran out of stock--" "THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE I'm going to have your job how dare you stop me from making $200 reselling these things!"
17:31 <Ali> Schism, those playmats I want
17:31 <Schism> I know the pony playmats... ;-;
17:31 <Ali> Sold for $100
17:32 <Ali> Ebay is scalping them for 7x that amount or higher
17:32 <Schism> Good gods.
17:32 <LibrarianofHope> i actually tried to get them in my local hobby shop to get them to ali
17:32 <LibrarianofHope> so out of stock

17:33 <Schism> Yah... that happens.
17:33 * Schism hugs the Ali.
17:33 <Schism> Every time there's a new release, it takes about 8 minutes for all the scalpers, especially in Hong Kong and China, to buy them. I am seriously considering dropping a tungsten weight on Airport Road, Portland, Oregon.
17:34 <Ali> You see that a ton on orders?
17:36 <Schism> "I'm terribly sorry, but those 30 pairs of limited edition shoes you ordered could not be delivered due to tactical orbital strike."
17:36 <Ali> Or even better
17:36 <Schism> Also, yes. You see people with 30 pages of orders.
17:36 <Ali> Make them yourself as knockoffs and nobody would know better
17:37 <Schism> Also, a few more tungsten rods on Wilmington, Delaware.

21:26 <LibrarianofHope> karen went zombie
21:26 <LibrarianofHope> fun times
21:37 <Cepheid> The problem is that so many conspiracy theories have started that the truth is now being overwhelmed.
21:38 <Schism> I just realized that that woman shoulder-blocked the door hinges.
21:39 <LibrarianofHope> the whole situation is damaging people's mind seriously
21:41 <Cepheid> Arguably, I will accept the fact that this is, in fact, quite damaging to extroverted people. But that's going a bit far.
21:41 <Schism> Aye.
21:42 <Schism> Heh. Mexico has closed its borders to the United States, citing that if US migrants cross over freely, then it's potentially dangerous for any Mexican citizens.
21:43 <Cepheid> Canada should keep the border closed too. Gods I hope we do.
21:43 <Cepheid> We need to contain the illness.
21:48 <Cepheid> So, news.
21:48 <Cepheid> My dad's sister, her daughter, and granddaughter, were hit by a car a week ago.
21:49 <Schism> Oh no...
21:49 <Cepheid> They are okay, mostly. The grandaughter had a bit of bruising miraculously, given she was a baby. The daughter, I think the same. Aunt, broken leg.
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> we closed the borders?
21:50 <Schism> Phew. Well, there have been much worst results.
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> next week is a meeting of american crazy old man and mexican crazy old man
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> also known as president summit
21:50 <Cepheid> Driver was charged with reckless driving. I still don't have the full story. It sounded like the family was crossing the street, the woman in the car took off, spinning her wheels, turned around and just struck the three.
21:51 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, well, closing, evidently, as Enrique Clausen and Hugo Lopez-Gatell are both floating the idea...
21:51 <Schism> Cepheid: What the heck. Some people...
21:51 <LibrarianofHope> clausen?
21:52 <Cepheid> Elderly woman. Sounded like she tried to accelerate really fast, lost control. She was on a gravel road.
21:52 <LibrarianofHope> gattel is the covid zar, such as he is
21:52 <LibrarianofHope> dont listen much to him, he is mostly lying
21:52 <Schism> Cepheid, that's... just ridiculous. She should have that license taken away.
21:52 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, fair enough.
21:53 <Cepheid> I suspect after this the woman is gonna lose her license.
21:53 <Cepheid> Anyway, as I understand it my aunt went through surgery yesterday.
21:53 <Cepheid> This likely has received news coverage. My uncle was mayor of Cornwall.
21:54 <Schism> Hmm. @_@

22:00 <Schism> Oh neat, CrossCode is coming to PS4, XBox and Switch.
22:02 <Cepheid> Cousin was just bruised. But she has a condition which can result in blood clots.

22:03 <Cepheid> Baby, just a few bruises but nothing serious.
22:03 <Cepheid> Sounds like my aunt jumped in front to protect them and took most of the impact.
22:04 <Cepheid> They got witnesses of the accident. So the lawyers are being called in and they'll likely win the case.

22:05 <Schism> Heh. "US Navy warns staff not to buy LSD on dark web."

22:12 <Cepheid> Bleh. Drank too much. Stomach is sore and I'm getting winded from moving around.
22:14 * Cepheid looks at PC. "... I need to fix that."
22:17 <Rarity> Hi!

22:31 <Cepheid> Okay, that's better.
22:32 <Cepheid> Word of advice if you decide to use Noctua-brand rubber fan mounts. Ream the fans first.
22:32 <Cepheid> I broke four of the rubberized mounts before I went "Eff this, I'm gonna ream these holes and see if that helps."
22:32 <Cepheid> It did.
22:37 <Cepheid> I had to remove the old ones when I made a small upgrade to my PC. Tower cooler supports up to three fans on it. In order to get a fan in though, I had to remove the two top fans in the case first. Which necessitated at some point re-installing the rubberized fan mounts. Finally got sick of the resonant hum created from the fans being directly affixed to the case and re-installed the mounts.
22:38 <Cepheid> Hum.
22:39 <Cepheid> Apparently a private jet with US citizens on it tried to land in Italy. They were refused entry. And it's apparently causing a bit of hooplah.
22:42 <Schism> For the strangest reason, I am not terribly upset by the fact that the ultra-rich were rebuffed.
22:43 <Schism> 'Earlier this week, the European Union formally agreed a set of recommendations that allows travelers from outside the bloc to visit EU countries. But the list of 14 countries did not include the United States.'
22:45 <Schism> The EU allows passage to citizens from Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Algeria, New Zealand, and South Korea, amongst others.
22:45 <Cepheid> Gee, I wonder why.
22:45 <Ali> Cause they can keep their shit clean
22:46 <Ali> Nah in the US
22:46 <Ali> Oh noes I'm sick
22:46 <Ali> Better go out and party then
22:48 <Ali> Is there a good racing game on steam?
22:48 <Ali> That isn't Nascar and controls like poop
22:48 <Ali> I want my car to go straight down the straights, not wiggling back and forth.
22:49 <Cepheid> Burnout Paradise is a good street racer, with other things to do.
22:50 <Ali> I mostly want racing
22:50 <Ali> And not like GTA series either, cause that's not full racing
22:50 <Schism> You could always look up TrackMania, but that's more like a Hot Wheels simulator.
22:50 <Schism> One button for acceleration, one button for brake. o3o;
22:52 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, that's about the only game I know. Burnout Paradise, and, like Schism said, TrackMania.
22:53 <Schism> I found "Blur" to be rather palatable, though unfortunately the AI drivers have that Perfect Curve thing going on half the time.
22:53 <Cepheid> I hear Project CARS is good.
22:55 <Schism> Sonic & All Stars Racing is only $5 right now.
22:55 <Schism> Supposedly it's pretty good.
22:56 <Ali> I got Transformed, but it gets old after awhile, it is a mario kart clone after all.
22:57 <Ali> Project Cars 2 is only 13.49 right now
23:04 <LibrarianofHope> im curios if i could get into the european union, im a spanish citizen too
23:04 <LibrarianofHope> they barred mexican from europe but i have that
23:04 <LibrarianofHope> wont be going anytime soon, but im curios if i could
23:07 <Schism> How are we only halfway through 2020?

23:09 <LibrarianofHope> just be gratefull we made it
23:09 <LibrarianofHope> and no "what else can happen" stuff
23:09 <LibrarianofHope> we are getting answers to the question
23:09 <LibrarianofHope> dont ask the question
23:10 <Cepheid> So, in Borderlands 3, I have this gun. It's a good gun. I like it. Except I've nearly killed myself with it numerous times.
23:11 <Cepheid> Leaves behind acid clouds when I shoot enemies enough. Turns out these clouds hurt me. Acid is apparently bad for you?
23:14 <LibrarianofHope> lsd no that much
23:14 <LibrarianofHope> you make songs about lucy
23:14 <LibrarianofHope> in the sky, with diamonds
23:21 <Schism> Ali: The benefit to TrackMania is of course that you get to build your own courses. o3o;
23:22 <PinkieShy> I was watching a Youtuber today that works for a cell phone store live stream
23:22 <PinkieShy> She told us on the stream that her store had to close its door because of plumbing in that center causing flooding issues.. that sounds horrible
23:27 <Schism> "The one thing I've learned from watching people play AST is that you must always complain that your cards are awful. AWFUL!" "They keep being wrong :("
23:33 <LibrarianofHope> if i did this right, i should have gotten an upsurge in views on my page
23:33 <LibrarianofHope> lets see
23:34 <Cepheid> I suspect the reason I feel like garbage right now might have something to do with that hot fudge milkshake I had earlier from DQ. Ow.
23:34 * Cepheid goes to check blood-sugar to see just how badly he is killing himself right now.
23:36 <LibrarianofHope> had no real effect
23:36 <LibrarianofHope> new test
23:40 <Ali> The only gripe I have on the demo
23:40 <Ali> Is that the line that tells you when to brake, do nothing, gas it
23:40 <Ali> Is a bit off sometimes
23:42 <PinkieShy> I thought Ryzen 3 would be a downgrade.. Bu tlooking at the specs of performance/versus each other..
23:42 <PinkieShy> Ryzen 3 is way better than FX 6300
23:43 <PinkieShy> So if i need a new PC soon and can only afford a Ryzen 3.. I guess go that way until i can upgrade :)
23:43 <Cepheid> Blood glucose was....
23:43 <Cepheid> 12.4
23:44 <Cepheid> Lower than I was expecting.
