01:26 <Schism> "You can't kill suction cup pony!"

01:26 * Ali pounces on Schism

01:26 * Schism snugs the Ali!

01:27 <Ali> Project Cars 2 looked interesting, but I'm worried about the cornering

01:27 <Schism> That is always the tricky part...

01:27 <Ali> Since the game demo was mostly road cources, but it does other tracks as well

01:32 * Lumindia pounces on Ali, snuggles the soft pony!

01:33 <Lumindia> O vO

01:33 * Ali squeaks at the Lumindia

01:33 <Lumindia>

01:38 <PrincessRainbows> The fx line was disappointing. My hexacore ryzen is way ahead of my old octacore fx

01:39 * Schism nodnods, "This Ryzen 5 I got is *chef's kiss*"

01:40 * Ali nibbles on Schism's ear

01:41 <Ali> Fireworks are going off like crazy..

01:42 <Schism> Mrp.  It was like that two days ago, because, well, Canada.

01:43 * Schism wonders what type of wizard would choose Evocation as their barred school.

01:43 <Ali> Someone playing Skyrim

01:43 <Schism> But Telekinesis is so useful!

01:44 <Ali> But if you DARE pick up a piece of bread

01:44 <Ali> STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM

01:45 <Schism> I know, I know.

01:45 <Schism> "I will not search the giant orange for traps."

01:45 <Schism> now*

01:45 <Ali> Or just make watermelons spawn into the world in droves the likes of the world has never seen before

01:46 * Schism spawns 10,000 cheese wheels at the top of the Throat of the World.

01:47 <Ali> And now for the skyrim epic cheese wheel race

01:47 <Ali> WHO WILL REACH THE BOTTOM FIRST

01:50 <Lumindia> Obviously it's Ali, the best pony!

01:50 <Lumindia> o vo

01:50 * Lumindia brushes

01:50 * Lumindia then curls up next to

01:50 * Ali leans into brushies

01:50 <Ali> But what about Fuh Roh Cheese

01:50 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCrhDamN82k

01:50 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

01:50 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Skyrim : 2500 Cheese wheels rolling off a mountain.

01:50 <Ali> And The gods know what you did

01:50 <Ali> Followed closely by IT JUST WORKS

01:51 <Ali> WAIT IJW is floating in the air!!

01:51 <Ali> But then gets taken out by Wabbajack

01:52 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08I4UCKsA8E

01:52 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

01:52 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Absolutely Mental Khajiit Inhales 250 Skooma and Then Dies

01:56 * Schism uses Wobbajack on Alduin. Eats the resultant sweetroll.

01:56 * Schism also offers the Alipone an ice cream sandwich.

01:59 * Ali noms the sandwich and snuggles on the Schism

02:02 <Schism> Also picked up some waffles, Clef's favourite food.

02:14 <Schism> Well, this is eleventy thousand kinds of bad.  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EcDDM4IWkAEdVPX?format=jpg

02:16 <Ali> Well if none of them have it to begin with.  But we'll find out in two weeks

02:26 * Ali flops and blehs on Schism, not sure if she should get the racing game or not.

02:29 * Schism flops. "Dunno." She also loads up Starbound for a bit.

02:43 <Schism> Stupid poison mobs.

02:47 <Ali> Schism couldn't find an antidote.

02:53 <Schism> Ow.  Food poisoning, too... physiology doesn't allow me to eat raw meat.  Heh, why did I even try.

03:25 <Schism> And now, mech.

03:29 <Cepheid> Blagh.  Melting.

03:30 <Ali> Hi I'm summer 2020

03:30 <Ali> Suffering with the carona virus, think anything can't get any worse?

03:30 * Ali turns it up to 90 with high humidity

03:30 <Ali> Welcome to summer

03:31 <Cepheid> It actually isn't that bad.  The biggest issue is my soaked pillow and a sense of uncleanliness.

03:31 <Ali> That too

03:32 * Cepheid aims turbine fan at head.

03:33 <Schism> At least you don't have much hair.

03:34 * Ali melts from last haircut, its been...four months now

03:35 <Cepheid> Speaking of, I need to shave again.  After my nap/sleep perhaps.

03:40 <Schism> Theeere.  Flag placed, teleportation now viable.

03:41 * Ali sends biters to nom Schism's flag teleporter

03:41 <Schism> Nuuuu~

03:41 * Schism holds them off with a single pistol. Badly.

03:42 <PinkieShy> About to cook some hotdogs :3

03:42 <PinkieShy> I got the munchies for some foood :D

03:49 * Schism finds a friendly space station, and proceeds to loot the -hay- out of it.

04:06 <Schism> Rude, game.

04:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Newbie Artist Training Grounds X: Day 30 [ http://tinyurl.com/y93xmjgr ]

04:16 * Schism has nine MMModules. Not sure if she wants to go find more, or what. "Hrmm." Plus, she needs titanium for a breathing EPP.

04:16 <Schism> Oh, duh.  I need liquid collection if I want any fuel at all.

04:23 * Ali slithers all around Schism

04:31 * Schism boops the Ali with a bowl of pearlpea risotto!

04:31 * Ali noms on Schism ear instead, unicorn not hungry right now.

04:36 * Schism squeaks, but she snugs the Ali anyway. "Fiiine."

04:38 <Ali> Tia T is wanting her brushies... and after five minutes, she's gone

04:39 <Ali> She does a lot of prancing around, but never stays still

04:49 <Schism> Game.  Please do not put a giant elevator leading upwards if the lifts are just going to drop me off the moment there's a millisecond of lag.

04:59 <Ali> haha, elevator go brrr

04:59 <Schism> And character go squish.

05:00 <Schism> Which would not be bad if there were a FREAKING CHECKPOINT in the mission.

05:02 <Ali> Bleh, another reason I hate modern games and them being download only

05:02 <Ali> One Eternity Later

05:02 <Ali> IT'S STILL DOWNLOADING

05:04 <Schism> Ow.  Need better armour.

05:06 * PinkieShy jumps into Mario world

05:08 <Schism> H'okay.  Cannot do much with that dungeon at this time either.  Bleh.  Need better equipment!

05:08 * Schism flops on Ali.

05:09 * Ali squeaks

05:09 <PinkieShy> You guys might think i am weird.. but i never beat mario bros 1 or 3

05:09 <PinkieShy> I always die in the 3rd one from the evil sun and the 1st one the bullet bills or fish kills me

05:13 * Ali hugs PinkieShy

05:13 * PinkieShy hugs Ali

05:25 * Schism makes something like 240 more torches. "This should last me at least 10 minutes."

05:38 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

05:39 * Schism waves to Rifty. Attempts to get a few quests done in Starbound. "Stupid tier 3 quests."

05:39 <ConfusionRift> Indeed.

05:40 <Schism> FU is as always well named.

05:40 <PinkieShy> What the..

05:40 <Schism> Frackin' Universe.

05:41 <PinkieShy> this instrumental song backwards sounds almost just like it did played regularly..

05:42 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Ooooooh... have fun with thaaaat. More galaxies and and planet configurations, plus other races? Yep. :P

05:43 <Schism> Oh yeah, and a BYOS option.

05:44 <Schism> Okay, there.  Bit of glass, bunch of tungsten.

05:44 <ConfusionRift> Huzzah! You can build your own ship! What're ya makin'? :P

05:45 <Schism> Dunno yet.  :P  Might do a bit of a big greenhouse sort of thing though.

05:45 * Schism places a Well on her ship. "This should not by any measure work."

05:45 <ConfusionRift> Someone made a pirate ship. Not sure how that would work... but there we goooo.

05:47 <ConfusionRift> Ala Treasure Planet.

05:47 <Schism> Lots more equipment, too, of course.

05:49 <Schism> Well, with an EPP I should now be able to get at least SOME Erchius.

05:50 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, and sassy A.V.I.A.N.

05:52 <ConfusionRift> You know... just thought about that. They do NOT warn you about your lack of equipment ahead of time. There are planets that are much hotter and colder than your standard temperate and frozen planets, and you're not warn about that till you touchdown.

05:52 <Schism> The notes do actually warn you now, I think.  I know that for the desert planet, it told me in nice red letters, "You're gonna have a fun time."

05:54 <ConfusionRift> [WARNING: Planet temperature extremely hot. Only a moron with no will to live would hop on this chunk of molten rock and ashes.] | What do you mean? I doubt it's- (immediately dies on touchdown)

05:55 <ConfusionRift> There are other EPP upgrades in FU. :P

05:55 <Schism> This I know.  :P

05:57 * Schism makes a Kirhosi flag so that she can get back to a very useful forest planet with a big Avian settlement.

05:58 <PinkieShy> OOF

05:58 <PinkieShy> I started to dance to this song and ended up almost falling and bashing my head against dry wall

05:58 <ConfusionRift> I wonder if they changed how other characters can interact with planets that were already worked on.

05:58 <PinkieShy> I was able to catch my balance before falling though

05:59 * ConfusionRift lightly pats PinkieShy.

06:00 * Ali sads on ConfusionRift and Schism. "Wow all these cars control like ass."

06:00 <Schism> Mmm.  Lush planet.

06:00 * Schism sads at Ali too. "Well, you are just starting out...?"

06:00 <Ali> Yes, but just testing any car

06:00 <ConfusionRift> Uuummm... huh?

06:01 <Ali> Stock Car, Indy Car

06:01 <Ali> Go into turn, its like a constant 4 wheel slide

06:01 <Ali> THis is racing, not damn drifting

06:01 <ConfusionRift> "We thought everyone liked Burnout, soooo..."

06:02 <Schism> Stupid acid spitters.  Also, lush planet, you'd better have lots of Manipulator Modules for me.

06:03 <Schism> Yay!  3x3 mining.

06:05 * ConfusionRift gives Schism the keys to a large digger. "Have fuuuuun!" :P

06:07 <Schism> Not a lot of Matter Manip. Modules just yet.  Grmbl.

06:08 <Schism> ConfusionRift, eventually I'll have a mining drill.  :S

06:10 <Ali> Well, that's what I get for trying anything new..

06:10 * Ali flops into a corner

06:10 <ConfusionRift> The digger is broken. Especially when you can get it very early. Very expensive though.

06:14 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali... then sees an stock car rammed on a steel junction... maybe I should ignore that.

06:14 <Ali> I mean the controls just don't feel right if I'm in a full on drift in the corners

06:15 <Ali> And on road courses I just keep spinning out

06:18 <ConfusionRift> Which game is it again?

06:20 <Ali> Project Cars 2, but I already refunded it

06:20 <ConfusionRift> ...how is Project Cars 2 cheaper than Project Cars 1?

06:22 * Ali shrugs

06:22 * Schism eyerolls at herself. "Oh, no. I only got like 7 matter manipulator modules from that Lush planet."

06:22 <Ali> My problem with games like that

06:22 <Ali> Is that you only have two hours to find out if its worth you time

06:23 <Ali> I've been spoiled by Nascar 05 and its supurb assists

06:23 <Ali> The asssits in this game is like drive straight into a wall cause the game doesn't apply the brakes

06:24 <ConfusionRift> Yeah... unfortunately, despite PC2 being considered an arcade game, they are trying to be closer to a simulation game. So driving assists are either out the window, and they become literal Babby Mode.

06:25 <Ali> That and too technical

06:25 <Ali> I went into the adjustments screen

06:25 <Ali> My head instantly exploded due to information overload.

06:27 <ConfusionRift> So not Burnout, NASCAR, or Outrun, and more like Forza Motorsports, Gran Turismo, and Dirt.

06:27 <ConfusionRift> Yes, settings in these game are incredibly expansive.

06:28 <ConfusionRift> We're talking about suspension ride height, spoiler downforce, drivetrain adjustments... the air on the friggin' tires.

06:29 <ConfusionRift> And all of those affect your driving completely.

06:29 <Ali> I know

06:29 <Ali> Its too much to take in

06:29 <Schism> It's a turn off for a lot of folks, yeah.

06:31 <Ali> Its like you have to be part of a sports team to even understand what half of that stuff means, let alone how it affects the car.

06:32 <Schism> Or just a mechanic.

06:32 <ConfusionRift> Well, I used to play these a lot, so I have an idea. Problem is that I can't really just tell what the issue is, especially when I have to see what's going on.

06:32 <Schism> Ooh.  Distortion Sphere II?

06:33 <ConfusionRift> And since it's about the fundamentals of a car, it will be extensive.

06:33 <Schism> Ooh.  I get to drop bombs in morph ball mode now.

06:33 * ConfusionRift nods.

06:34 <ConfusionRift> Just in case, stay away from BeamNG.drive. That is not a racing game, it's a car sandbox game. And driving in that game is difficult.

06:34 <ConfusionRift> It tries to be a simulation game, but doesn't quite get it right.

06:35 * Ali nods and hugs ConfusionRift and Schism tightly with the sads.

06:35 <ConfusionRift> Sorry. There aren't that many racing games like Nascar nowadays.

06:36 <Schism> I do suggest trying out TrackMania if you have the option.  The free variant doesn't let you do your own tracks, but it does let you at least play the ones that are there.

06:36 <Schism> That's on EGS, though.

06:36 <ConfusionRift> TrackMania is... I dunno.

06:36 <Schism> I describe it as a Hot Wheels simulator.

06:37 <ConfusionRift> Last I played it, it was like soap as wheels. Then again, might just be me.

06:37 <Schism> Dunno, that sounds like a fair description.

06:38 <ConfusionRift> ...what? (sees Midnight Club 2) What?! (not supported on Win 7 or Vista) WAT!!!

06:39 <Schism> ... when did I pick THIS up?  "A Cadaver, autopsy for details."  Um...

06:40 <Cepheid> Quick throw it back into the water!

06:41 <Schism> No, I don't recognize the dead bodies in the water.

06:41 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Some bodies and tomb chests have them. It's used for expensive research, and yes... it get gory and macabre when it comes to it.

06:41 <ConfusionRift> *extensive, not expensive

06:42 <ConfusionRift> At later tiers, you can use that research to create... companions.

06:42 <Schism> Zombie, zombie, zombie~

06:42 <Schism> Hmm, I do have a lot of core fragments... well, that can wait.

06:43 <ConfusionRift> More like remaking other creatures as allies, or just amalgamations.

06:43 <Schism> Hmm.  Well, I guess I'll go after Titanium soon.

06:43 <Schism> Aha.

06:43 *** Quits: ArchPegasusMichael (Poni@Keep.In.A.Friendly.And.Pony.Place) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

06:43 <Schism> Well, more Tit.

06:45 <ConfusionRift> Huzzah, more titeniom. | "Um... what?" | You know, titeniom. | "Why are you saying it all weird." | No, YOU are the hweird! | "Are you okay? Should I shutdown and restore?" o_0 | Not my cabeza! | "YEP, restarting!"

06:49 * Schism yays, "A bit more of his and I can upgrade my buildings. But..." She frowns. "Make that a lot more, probably."

06:56 <Schism> Hum.  Smooth metal is a pain in the tail to make (Titanium, after all), so I think I'll just break down this underground lab for it.

07:08 <ConfusionRift> Connection getting real fuzzy...

07:08 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: Leaving)

07:09 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah... mad at BL3. Not gonna jump to that in a while.

07:09 * ConfusionRift looks through his "Haven't played yet" list.

07:12 * Schism flailyhooves as she dies to a ridiculous situation. "Gaaame."

07:14 <Schism> Let's see... yes, I believe my grenade launcher can be upgraded to Tier 3.

07:15 <Schism> Heh.  ConfusionRift: You been reading Real Life Comics this week?

07:18 <ConfusionRift> I don't really check comics.

07:18 <Schism> Fair nuff.

07:18 <ConfusionRift> I normally watch videos or play games. And rarely watch some movies.

07:21 <Schism> Hum.  Getting to T3 so that I can get an Erchius Buddy will be fun.

07:27 <Schism> That will, however, be helpful in making sure that I can mine as much fuel as needed.

07:29 <ConfusionRift> So... Satisfactory, Terraria, or- | "What are you doing? You already played those." | I know. I just feel there's still stuff I can do... you know... | "Why not grab one of those you haven't played? OH! How about one you haven't finished yet?" | I... I dunno... | "..." | I'm gonna grab a random one. | "Huh... okay."

07:35 <Schism> You could always send a group of adorable green bug-eyed aliens to their inevitable demise in their quest to reach the Mun.

07:37 <Schism> ConfusionRift: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eb-8O7yVcAAt1B3?format=jpg&name=medium -- this is to what I referred.

07:37 <ConfusionRift> I do have it... despite me struggling with the demo.

07:38 <ConfusionRift> Aaah.

07:38 <Schism> Yerp.  Which is interesting.

07:41 <ConfusionRift> I suppose someone is on a similar introspect.

07:41 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-u30cht.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

07:42 <Schism> You would be correct.  Though I've gotten much of the introspection out of the way and gone right through to 'yup.'

07:42 <Schism> Sure as heck took me long enough.

07:42 * ConfusionRift nods.

07:43 <Schism> The joke, as Cepheid put it, is that everyone who knows me has undoubtedly seen it already.

07:44 *** Quits: Dranae (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

07:50 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)

07:59 <Schism> Eh, just musing.

08:00 <ConfusionRift> If I end up making a game, I'm gonna put a troll tutorial section. Just to see their reactions, after spending like 15 minutes going through the controls, and then simplifying them.

08:00 <Schism> "Now, to jump, hold down B and Y, and press Up."

08:03 * PrincessRainbows bounces around ConfusionRift like an excited filly

08:06 <ConfusionRift> "We're now in space, and you... don't know how to fly this thing. But that's okay! That's what I'm here for. Press T to accelerate. Press G to deaccelerate. Press B to engage front thrusters, to push the ship backwards, and use N and M to adjust thrust. Make sure that rear thrust is lower than the front. Press Q to pivot in an anti-clockwise motion. Be sure that the juxtaposition of the ship corresponds to the opposite of the

08:06 <ConfusionRift> ships current rotation. Press S to adjust wing angles according to (muffles)" | [player presses a button, something breaks] | "WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

08:07 <PrincessRainbows> Ah the wonders of being a pilot

08:08 <Schism> Player presses a button and the ship fires a sabot into the station.

08:08 <PrincessRainbows> I was playing space engineers but after a few near tragedies I got it

08:09 <ConfusionRift> "How can you mess this up?! It's so simple!!! Fiiine... I'm make it easier for ya, since you can't seem to grasp standard space flight controls. [W = Forward | S = Stop/Reverse | A = Left | D = Right | Use mouse to control angles] "There. Happy?"

08:10 <Schism> Sadly, Elite: Dangerous is probably the best game I've played with regards to such controls.

08:10 <ConfusionRift> Everspace for me.

08:11 <ConfusionRift> Then again, might be because I was on the keyboard and mouse.

08:11 * ConfusionRift pets PrincessRainbows. :P

08:15 <Schism> Could be!

08:15 * Schism snugs the PrincessRainbows and provides a cheddar treat from her pocket.

08:16 <ConfusionRift> There was a space game, which was kinda like SE, but more blocky. The game would lock controls during tutorials, and would just keep your ship doing that action till you either skipped or moved from the tutorials. As soon as I started the game, I accidentally shot a station, the game jammed the ship firing and moving forwards. I became enemy of the regular faction, making the game unplayable.

08:16 <Schism> Eeee.

08:16 <Schism> I've accidentally deployed hardpoints while getting out of a station before.  That had much the same effect.

08:16 <Schism> Though only a 100 credit fine when it comes to Elite.

08:17 <ConfusionRift> Just bring back Freelancer, darn it!!!

08:17 <Schism> Pffffff.  https://twitter.com/TokyoSage/status/1279073715381207041

08:17 <ConfusionRift> Pfft, haaaah!

08:18 * PrincessRainbows makes silly filly noises at ConfusionRift and makes grabby hooves

08:18 <Schism> Wasn't there a fan remake of Freelancer at some point?

08:19 <ConfusionRift> I believe so... and it exploded.

08:19 <Schism> Shame.

08:19 <ConfusionRift> Oddly enough, I think there are still Freelancer servers.

08:20 * Schism hums. "Well, there are still Tribes servers."

08:21 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh... it fell under abandonware. Hmmmmmmm.

08:22 <Schism> Well, it's what, 20 years old?

08:23 <ConfusionRift> And Innerspace, which is older, and basically has no support, doesn't fall on it, because their site is still up.

08:24 <ConfusionRift> WHAT?!

08:24 <Schism> Here, have some cats.  https://twitter.com/sandiegozoo/status/1279129052813709315

08:24 <ConfusionRift> https://www.sdispace.com/

08:24 <ConfusionRift> They still support it?!

08:25 <ConfusionRift> I... this is the Space Jam of PC games. It is official. :P

17:48 * Ali flops over Schism and nuzzle. "Why dat?"

17:49 <Schism> Eh, sharing customer information with the RCMP without a warrant.

17:49 * Schism also snuggles the Ali.

17:50 * Ali nods and snuffles the Schism mane with her muzzle

17:50 * Schism patpats the Ali, and offers some pizza. It has pineapple.

17:51 * Ali nom noms it, unicorn doesn't mind the sweetness.

17:53 <Cepheid> Hum.  Unfortunate.  Guess I'll need a new source of crazy and arcane pizzas.

17:54 <Cepheid> Dog.  I do not appreciate that.

17:54 <Schism> Updog?

17:54 <Cepheid> Parents are gone, so the dog is currently attached to me.  She just sat herself between me and Spitfire in an attempt to keep him from me.

17:55 <Schism> Urg.  While she has the best of intentions, that is a very stupid dog.

18:01 <Cepheid> You'd think after seeing me socialize with Spitfire on a regular basis, that she would learn he is not a threat to me.

18:01 <Cepheid> But then, this is a dog who was gladly willing to keep playing despite having a stick embedded several inches into her chest.

18:01 <Schism> She knows Spitfire's a threat to her, but... yeah.

18:02 <Cepheid> ...  Spitfire.  What was that?

18:02 * Schism cracks up at SCP-2501. "Oh dear..."

18:03 <Schism> A squishing gauntlet which works specifically on 'line of sight'.  MCD decided that this was just a little bit too dangerous to keep.

18:03 <Schism> And just a lot too dangerous to sell.

18:03 <Cepheid> He came trotting into the room aggressively.  It's hard to describe.  He was trying to get to me, and eventually did, but didn't like the closeness of the dog.

18:04 <Schism> I know that stance.  Tail raised, claws out, hackles up.

18:04 <Cepheid> Surprisingly, no.

18:04 * Schism shakes her head.

18:05 <Schism> Oh?

18:06 <Cepheid> This was more like a deliberate trot.  Like he was trying to get somewhere quickly, without directly running.  The tail was up, but not poofed.  He kept his eyes on the dog while making his way towards me.  I think he is trying to use openings to get to me.

18:06 <Schism> Well, if it worked, then excellent.

18:06 <Cepheid> Yeah.  He's trying to get to me, and get the dog away from me I think.

18:06 <Schism> Gah.  Can I just be transported to Coerthas please?  Or someplace that it's winter?

18:07 <Cepheid> Heh.  Tell me about it.

18:09 <Schism> Poor SCP-661.  Requested tacos, and the Foundation gave him burritos instead, just because some of them are jerks.

18:09 <Schism> Request: '-One (1) 'Pepsi' brand soft drink (Denied. Given one (1) can of 'Coca-Cola' brand soft drink as a suitable replacement. After recovering from concussion, Dr. █████ was reassigned to a non-sentient SCP.)'

18:13 <Cepheid> Heh.

18:14 <Cepheid> I just finished 1461.  The Worm.  That one needs to be expanded.  Lot of potential for a game, possibly a dungeon crawler.

18:15 <Cepheid> Also, I got Spitfire on my lap.  I took a good close look at his eyes.  I noticed some interesting details.

18:15 *** Joins: Pony|35636 (Pony35636@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net)

18:16 <Cepheid> The irises seem to have three colours to them.

18:16 <Cepheid> The inner portion is a dark green.  The outer portion is a lighter shade of green.

18:16 <Schism> Not so strange.  Certain heterochromatic gems are called 'cat's eyes' for a reason.

18:17 <Cepheid> And, this isn't that distinctive dark ring around the irises, but he has what appears to be a copper-coloured "veiny" ring along the outer edge of the iris.

18:19 <Cepheid> It sits just inside the outer edge.  Overlaid atop the lighter green.  It stands out.

18:19 <Schism> Huh.  Well, we knew Spitfire was weird.  But that's a nice distinguishing feature!

18:19 <Cepheid> It actually looks like it isn't on the same layer as the iris itself either.

18:20 <Cepheid> ...  Now that I look at it more closely in fact...

18:20 <Cepheid> The whole iris looks like a funnel going inward due to the colouring.

18:22 <Cepheid> Got a weird 3D effect going on.  The green is funnel-like, while the copper vein is floating just above the iris.

18:25 <Schism> Neat.  o3o

18:25 <Schism> Also, how did you like 1459's logs?

18:25 <Cepheid> Awesome.  I'm going to hell for thinking that.

18:26 <Schism> Hehe.

18:26 * Schism skips off to work.

18:28 <Cepheid> Okay, take care Spitfire. *Watches him wander off*

18:29 <Cepheid> ...  They considered testing the destructive capabilities of 2501 on an asteroid.

18:31 <Cepheid> "and quite possibly the Sun and the Moon..."

18:33 <Cepheid> I like to imagine that stuff like this happens more often than advertised.  That is, GoIs turning in items to the Foundation just because even they think the items are too dangerous.  I know Herman's Circus did that with a few of their people.

18:36 <Ali> Ugh, my new glasses are making my eyes hurt.

18:39 <Cepheid> Probably because of minute changes in the prescription.  Your eyes need adjusting to them.

18:39 <Cepheid> Plus, over time, your old lenses get worn down, resulting in a slightly worse convergence, which your eyes slowly adjust to.  The change can be enough to cause minor headaches and pains.

18:40 <Cepheid> Hum, speaking of, I should be getting my eyes checked soon.  Being diabetic, I need more frequent eye tests and such.

18:41 <Ali> I dunno, I wore them 5 hours yesterday, and then only an hour and a half today

18:42 <Ali> Before my eyes felt like they were straining

18:42 <Ali> There's also a bad reflective glare on the right lens that drives me nuts

18:44 <Cepheid> Hmm.  Might want to take them in and mention that.

18:51 * Cepheid wanders off to do some chores. Vacuuming, mostly.

18:52 <Ali> I'm thinking of that, but since its 4th of July Weekend in the US, most places are closed.

18:54 * Cepheid comes back, covered in dust. "I hate my parents sometimes.

18:55 <Cepheid> They have this chronic problem of not emptying the vacuum cleaner canister.  This means that in 90% of cases, I'm the one who empties it.  The guy who is allergic to dust.

18:55 <Ali> And when you open it, it explodes into dust

18:55 <Cepheid> This also means that they let it fill up to such a level that I have to disassemble the canister which- yeah, that.

18:56 <Cepheid> The canister is not meant to be filled up as much as my parents let it get filled up to.

18:56 <Cepheid> As a result, I have to disassemble the canister to get everything out.

18:57 <Cepheid> Which means, invariably, dust and fur everywhere.

18:57 <Cepheid> My hands itch now.  And feel like pins and needles are being poked against it.

19:00 * Cepheid scrubs hands really hard, then gets back to work.

19:15 <Ali> How can I tell boilers to not work if I have enough power?

19:22 <Cepheid> Cut the electrical connection to the steam engines so that the steam builds up and the boilers stop working.  You can do this using a power switch.

19:23 <Cepheid> An accumulator on the factory side of the switch can be used as your control method, if you are storing excess power in accumulators.

19:25 <Cepheid> Beyond that I can't help immediately.  The setup requires a special circuit network component comprised of multiple circuit network items to work right.

19:26 <Cepheid> Otherwise, the switch will just toggle on and off repeatedly around the threshhold.

19:27 <Cepheid> The component you need is something that, when the charge of an accumulator hits say, 25%, activates the power switch, and stays active until the charge reaches say, 90%.

19:29 <Cepheid> https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Circuit_network_cookbook#Backup_steam_example

19:29 <Cepheid> This will do what you need.

19:37 <Ali> Thankies

20:01 <Schism> Cepheid: Yeah, Jude called the Foundation on one of his own creations, because it was hurting.

21:25 <Starlight_Glimmer> I guess it's too early for those anyways

21:27 <Cepheid> I've been hearing fireworks since June 30th.

21:30 <Ali> Starlight_Glimmer, live with hyperacusis and they're a bit too loud

22:13 * Cepheid performs an experiment. He uses his blue inhaler. It's a steroid. Wants to see if perhaps, maybe, just maybe, he is incapable of taking steroid medicines. That is what that medicine that was making him irritable was.

22:19 <Cepheid> I heard of the phrase "If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?" But never expected to hear it ever actually happen.

22:20 <Cepheid> Two kids jumped off a bridge here.  Not a suicide attempt.  Just stupidity.  One kid hasn't resurfaced.

22:20 <Ali> Oy

22:21 <Ali> Stupidity has an overwhelming presense in this day and age.

22:32 * Cepheid opens a can of cider. Sips. "... This is not a cider." Checks can. It is a beer.

23:28 <PinkieShy> They do have good deals on new ones though.. Might get me some being only got one reuseable kind

23:28 <PinkieShy> 5 hanes brand for $7.50 isn't bad.

23:28 <Cepheid> Seriously, get some, use them.

23:28 <Cepheid> Don't be like the ignorant masses.  If you need further encouragement, consider it this way.

23:29 <PinkieShy> I will :)

23:29 <PinkieShy> I mean I'd rather use them than get sick and feel like i am dying..

23:29 <PinkieShy> I felt like i was dying back in December when i had the stomach bug >_>

23:30 <Cepheid> I am sick with a chronic illness that affects my lungs on a regular basis, sometimes mild, sometimes severe.  If I contract COVID-19, it would be bad.  Especially since alongside this I am diabetic.

23:30 <Cepheid> It could kill me.

23:31 <Cepheid> If you aren't thinking of the average citizen, then at least think about the people who have chronic illnesses and compromised immune systems.  Also the elderly.

23:31 <Cepheid> As it is, the average American response makes it feel like such groups of people are expendable.

23:32 <Cepheid> It's...  Not a fun feeling.  I have to restrain myself from regularly yelling at people in my own neighborhood walking around without masks.

23:35 <PinkieShy> I'm terrified of getting the virus myself

23:36 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.  In fact, my parents are getting themselves tested tomorrow just to be safe.
