00:20 <Schism> That was nomworthy.  But now I am soaked in sweat.  Sheesh.

00:40 <PinkieShy> Yaaaay :D

00:40 <PinkieShy> I was warlock in game and i was the last one standing

00:40 <PinkieShy> My link died in game so I had the chance to last night in game to select a wolf so.. Town won :D

00:41 <PinkieShy> Warlock won the game :D

00:41 <Schism> Did you predict anything successfully?

00:41 <PinkieShy> Nah

00:42 <Ali> I predicted that I'd predict everything wrong~

00:42 <Schism> Oh, though there are differences.  The warlock in Mafia predicts who will die, and if they guess successfully twice, they win.  In Werewolf, they get to curse people?

00:45 <PinkieShy> In the VRChat version..

00:45 <PinkieShy> If the town tries to kill me off or if werewolves kill me off.. The person i link to dies in my place and i survive.

00:46 <PinkieShy> House 20 was my link.. wolves tried to kill me off as they had ability to kill 2 persons off in game that night.. So bye bye house 20

00:46 <Schism> Would've been funny if they selected both you -and- House 20.

00:49 <PinkieShy> Then that wouldn't work i don't think

00:49 <Ali> I wish I knew what they called that Price is Right lose sound effect but it would've been perfect for that

00:49 <PinkieShy> Being if house 20 is killed off.. I lose my link and can't select a new person.

03:58 <Schism> Dunno, Ali: though Charlie Daniels did indeed pass on.

03:58 <Ali> Yes but that showed up in local news

03:59 <Ali> None of my four major local news outlets are reporting anything

04:04 * PrincessRainbows hides behind Ali and whimpers

04:04 * Ali pouts as PrincessRainbows dun't want cuddles

04:06 * PrincessRainbows hugs Ali really tight and makes sad little filly noises

04:06 * Schism offers the pones some green tea.

04:06 * Ali scoops PrincessRainbows up and brushies her mane.

04:10 * Schism steeps some green tea, adds honey to it.

04:13 * Ali huggles on the Schism

04:15 * Cepheid reads about Giraffe Hell.

04:22 * Ali rocks PrincessRainbows gently and keeps brushing her.

04:22 * Schism sips her green tea. "Hm. Might have oversteeped."

06:03 * Schism eyebrows. "Ellen DeGeneres isn't dead." She headshakes at rumors of that nature.

06:03 <Ali> Schism, that's what I was refering to earlier

06:04 <Schism> Ah, I only saw it trending now.

06:04 <Ali> Twitter is just a place for fake news

06:04 <Ali> It wasn't trending for me anymore

06:04 <Ali> But like I said already

06:04 <Ali> None of the major news networks are talking about it

06:04 <Ali> So that to me is already a red flag.

06:04 * PrincessRainbows hugs ConfusionRift so much and makes grabby hooves

06:05 * ConfusionRift grabbies, hugs, then pets PrincessRainbows.

06:05 * PrincessRainbows yays

06:05 <Schism> The news about Charlie Daniels is legit, though.

06:06 <Ali> Yes that is real

06:06 <Ali> But if its trending on twitter

06:06 <Ali> But nobody is actually talking about it

06:06 <Ali> Its a red flag

06:06 <Ali> I mean its about as trustworthy as The Onion or National Enquirer

06:07 <Schism> Yerp.  Always source, always sanitize.

06:10 * Ali nibbles on the Schism ear

06:12 * Schism snugs the Ali in turn.

06:45 <Finwe> AI to the question, "What is your book about?"

06:45 <Finwe> "In this book, I show the science of hugging. Hugging is the act of embracing someone in a caring way. Hugging is a common way to express caring and affection. This book discusses many different types of hugging, from the ways that trees and flowers hug each other, to the ways that animals hug each other. I also discuss why we hug, how hugging can help our health, and the different feelings that we

06:46 <Finwe> experience while we hug."

06:46 * Finwe hugs an Ali.

08:13 <ConfusionRift> Still bothers me they didn't bother porting it, and just put it on the streaming service.

08:14 <Golden> I was surprised that it doesn't have trophies.

08:14 <Golden> All weapons are the V5s, and fully upgraded.

08:14 <ConfusionRift> Which version are you playing? PS3 or PS Now?

08:14 <Golden> Ps3

08:15 <ConfusionRift> Because I rememebr it having trophies.

08:15 <Golden> I have a ps3, and found a copy for 10$

08:15 <Golden> It was released before trophies were mandatory so there are none

08:15 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, right. This game was an entry game for the PS3, so there are no trophies. The later games do.

08:16 <ConfusionRift> Then again, was never for trophies and achievements.

08:16 <Golden> I have the R&C hd collection, ToD, and CiT along with the remake

08:16 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

08:17 <Golden> Was 10$ for CiT, and 30$ for the hd collection. I plan on getting Into the Nexus so I can get a free copy of QfB.

08:18 <ConfusionRift> I got the PS2 games, both PSP games ported to PS2, ToD, CiT, ITN, the HD collection, and the retcon... I mean, the new one.

08:19 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and Full Frontal Assault (bleh...) and All 4 One.

08:20 <Golden> The remake is being told by Qwark. He would obviously make up events of the story.

08:21 <ConfusionRift> I guess I got every game, except the for Secret Agent Clank on PSP... not happening.

08:21 <Golden> So I don't think of it really as a retcon. Again since it is being told from such a narcissist.

08:22 <Golden> I am not touching Secret Agent Clank, and Size Matters for the life of me. To me they are non-canon.

08:22 <ConfusionRift> The thing is that the game makes it seem like certain events got mixed in, or never happened.

08:23 <ConfusionRift> Like an alternate universe of the game.

08:23 <Golden> ....You'd really believe Qwark's version of events?

08:23 <ConfusionRift> Hahahaaaa... nope.

08:24 <ConfusionRift> The worst super... everything, really.

08:25 <Golden> I see it as this. Since in Going Commando, Qwark escaped captivity that he was telling events of the original game. Which had his massive touch of embellishments like Ratchet and Clank being friends from the get go.

08:26 <ConfusionRift> Which would explain the possible skip to the third game in the upcoming game.

08:27 <ConfusionRift> I need to get back to the classics, get a refresh.

08:27 <Golden> That way both the original, and to an extent the remake are both cannon to the same universe. I thought they said Rift apart continues the storyline the future series/into the nexus left.

08:29 <ConfusionRift> Did they? Would explain al- waaaaiiiit. But Dr. Nefarious is gone! He got kaboomed in Crack in Time! But then again, rifts.

08:30 <ConfusionRift> It's been long since I've played the originals. I'm thinking on marathoning them at some point. That, and the Sly series.

08:31 <Golden> Well the thing is...Rift apart is confirmed to be different dimensions of locals. For example being Sargasso

08:32 <Golden> So this could be a different dimension Nefarious that actually managed to take over.

08:33 <ConfusionRift> Was gonna mention that. Rifts are in play... again, so it might be an alternate point when Dr. Nefarious won.

08:33 <Golden> We even get see bots like Nefarious uses in the opening moments of the teaser

08:37 <ConfusionRift> Was just checking the gameplay teaser for a bit... yeah, Dr. Nefarious is back, and in full control.

08:37 <Golden> In the new lombax girl's dimension that is.

08:39 <Golden> Also for the whole new lombax girl having a tail. It could be written up as Angela from Going Commando had an accident which caused her to lose the tail, and the news casters in CiT were talking out of their behinds.

08:41 <ConfusionRift> You can see the guards from GC, and the converted dog bots from UYA. Hmmm. Also, not the first for newscasters to make up stuff in the games. :P

08:42 <ConfusionRift> ...just thought of something.

08:44 <Golden> Oh?

08:46 <ConfusionRift> In the movie/new game, one of the rangers mentions Ratchet doing something with a Dimentionator... how would that be the case, if that happens waaaay later in the series. Unless... Qwark knew about it! Supposedly, he arrested the siblings. He probably knew of this long ago. That's something that could happen.

08:50 <Golden> It's Qwark so either he made it up without knowing of it, or heard rumors of it.

08:51 <Golden> I doubt he would be smart enough to know what it was before he was fully introduced to it.

08:52 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait... "willful disruption of the space-time continuum". Don't know why I merged that with the Dimentionator. Would make sense sorta kinda perhaps.

08:53 <Golden> Considering what's happening in the new game who knows really

08:54 <ConfusionRift> But he does mention Neftin Prog, which was involved in the Dimentionator mess in ITN.

08:54 <ConfusionRift> Then again... Qwark. (sighs)

08:55 <ConfusionRift> Like having a milk carton as a pilot.

08:57 <Golden> The term unreliable narrator is strong with Qwark

08:59 <ConfusionRift> Like having an amoeboid as a wiki page writer.

09:00 <Golden> Yup.

09:00 <ConfusionRift> It's just gonna say "BLARG" about 500 times.

09:02 <ConfusionRift> I wonder what the RYNO is gonna be like in the upcoming one. If they decide to put it back. They have to. They MUST!

09:05 <ConfusionRift> I miss the old Rift Inducer. It was a fun and powerful thing.

09:06 <Golden> It wouldn't be a R&C game without a terrifyingly op weapon

09:06 <Golden> They just gotta make a way to make a new pun for the RYNO

09:15 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh... barely just got it.

09:16 <ConfusionRift> Rip Ya a New One, Rip Ya a New One (2) Too, Rip Ya 3 New Ones.

09:16 * Filly_Nightmares kneadkn ead knead knead knead Golden

09:17 <Golden> Rip Ya a New One IV extreme/4-Ever

09:17 * Golden pats Filly_Nightmares happily.

09:18 * ConfusionRift chuckles. "It just gets better." :P

09:18 <Golden> That's the beauty of the RYNO

09:19 <Golden> It is disgutinly op when weapon levels, and upgrades introduced.

09:19 <Golden> Like can take down a challenge mode final boss with ease type of op

09:20 * PrincessRainbows climbs onto ConfusionRift and curls up for sleepies. Nini

09:21 <ConfusionRift> Ammo is expensive though.

09:21 * ConfusionRift lightly pats PrincessRainbows. "Have a good one."

09:21 <ConfusionRift> Still, I suppose that's the balance of it.

09:22 <Golden> ....Dude they give bolt multipliers in challenge mode. I am sitting at over 4mil in bolts in ToD

09:23 <Golden> They more you don't get hit, and do the hitting the higher the multiplier is.

09:23 <Golden> I heard it can go up to x60

09:23 <Finwe> 0x60?

09:23 <ConfusionRift> Never got it up there. I think I can get it up to x40 or so.

09:24 <Golden> Then don't get me started on the omega weapon variants

09:24 * ConfusionRift grins.

09:24 <Golden> Also Finwe that is in account if you aren't collecting. Bolts.

09:25 <ConfusionRift> I forgot that later games you have to buy the weapons again to continue upgrading them.

09:26 <Golden> Well to keep level them

09:26 <Golden> Leveling*

09:27 <Golden> The upgrades are usually saved for raritanium. Which after that is maxed the only upgrades that happen is damage output via level

09:27 <Golden> It os nice that some weapons get a different look when fully leveled though.

09:29 <ConfusionRift> In UYA, they changed when upgraded fully, and again by the challenge mode version. So it did make sense to do that. I don't remember if the new game did it as well.

09:31 <Golden> Well it was changed to the way I described in ToD

09:36 <Golden> In ToD you can make the Groovitron gold by soending 2 mil raritanium.

09:36 * ConfusionRift slowly nods.

09:36 <ConfusionRift> I believe the music changes as well.

09:36 <Golden> I am not sure. Also the armor system is fun.

09:39 <ConfusionRift> Sure is.

09:40 <Golden> I hope we get new weapons types in Rift Apart. Kinda tired of the current types that started in ToD

09:41 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, they start repeating, with variants that works similarly. Unfortunately, it looks like that might happen again.

09:42 <Golden> Which is a shame. Let's just hope they at least have a new spin on them.

09:43 <Golden> Like the flamethrower is an ice gun the freezes, and shatters enemies.

09:43 <ConfusionRift> The three weapons I saw where the standard quick blaster, the grenade, and a shotgun similar to the custom one in CiT.

09:44 <ConfusionRift> Oh, like the lavagun in UYA?

09:44 <Golden> Yeah

09:45 <ConfusionRift> That was an oddity. The final omega upgrade was a liquid nitrogen gun, which was odd.

09:46 <Golden> Huh

09:47 <ConfusionRift> "In Up Your Arsenal, the weapon deals lasting acid damage at V2, can lock on at V3, and at V5, upgrades to the Liquid Nitrogen Gun upgrade."

09:50 <ConfusionRift> In GC, it would shoot molten lava at first, and then shot meteors or lava rocks on its final upgrade.

09:50 <ConfusionRift> It's a strange change, but a fun one still. :P

09:56 <Golden> Indeed

16:30 <Cepheid> So, while my cat was on my lap, preventing me from using my tablet, something of note came to mind.

16:32 <Cepheid> So you know all those games with the infinitely large worlds, randomly generated?  There is no need to actually make each world distinctly by randomly generating it with a different seed each time.

16:34 <Cepheid> You can use the same seed for each world, but use a random seed for spawn placement.  No matter how many times the same world is re-used, the probability of getting the same spawn point over and over, or indeed, even being near a previous one, is incredibly small.

16:35 <Cepheid> Even if every single person on Earth were playing the same game, same map, but with a different spawn seed, the probability that two players would get the same spawn position is extremely small.

16:52 * Schism flops in from a run down to Shopper's, and drips.

17:00 <Schism> I was depressed by the fact that half the people in Shoppers weren't wearing masks.  If you're visiting the drugstore...

17:05 <Schism> "It turns out that Keanu Reeves has been secretly-" "Wait stop don't" "-funding children's hospitals." "..."

17:18 <Cepheid> I.... there's a mandatory mask order in place.  It went into effect last night, as I understand it.  You could have called the cops.

17:21 <Schism> No active cell phone.  I should have.

17:25 <Cepheid> Actually, according to my dad, while I did hear the news correctly, I only heard part of it.

17:25 <Cepheid> The mandatory mask order is for Ottawa only.

17:26 * Cepheid gets his seat cushion. This char is killing his ass.

17:26 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/RaneBlu/status/1280352530803724288 I can see this happening.

17:26 <Schism> Pff.

17:28 * Cepheid is registered for school. Wonders if he should apply for the CESB now.

17:28 * Schism blinks. "Hopefully taking classes remotely will be helpful."

17:29 <Cepheid> I have to register, at this point.  I have no choice.

17:29 <Cepheid> Otherwise, I have to start paying back my OSAP.

17:30 <Schism> Mmm.

17:30 <Cepheid> Or, rather, I get dropped out.

17:30 <Schism> Well, I hope that the classes -do- go better.

17:33 * Cepheid goes and does some Blender tutorials.

17:34 <Cepheid> ... Wait, this monitor has audio out for 3.5mm cables?

17:35 <Cepheid> Still need the amp function of my headset, though.

17:36 <Cepheid> ... Mmm, not the best quality, actually.

17:38 <Cepheid> Schism.  Musical term needed.  In music, the lyrics are often separated by line breaks.  Are these what one would call "stanzas"?

17:40 <Schism> The musical equivalent of a paragraph is indeed a stanza.

17:40 <Schism> Well, poetic equivalent, really.

17:42 <Cepheid> Mm.  In such case, if writing out it all on one line, how would these line breaks be represented?  Commas don't seem right.  Nor do periods, for some reason.

17:42 *** Joins: Toothpaste (uid63062@Pony-aimoev.brockwell.irccloud.com)

17:43 <Cepheid> Schism.  Do the names Phantamanta or Azure Skies mean anything to you?

17:43 <Toothpaste> 👀

17:44 <Schism> Phantamanta sounds familiar.  Azure Skies does not.

17:46 <Schism> Ah, Phanta Manta was that Mario Sunshine boss, though I suspect you might mean something else.

17:46 <Cepheid> I know both on Steam, and we don't seem to remember how we met one another or even added each other.  The only connection we can discern is that we both have Azure Skies on our friends list.

17:47 <Cepheid> But Azure was added after me, so it wasn't through them.

17:47 <Cepheid> The only other detail of note is that we were added back in 2012.  That would have been after college, for me.  And I don't think it was through EQD, because I don't think I was here back then.

17:48 <LibrarianofHope> hi

17:48 <Toothpaste> Gotta love loggin in and seeing that some rooms say it's been 1933 days since I last logged in lol. How's it goin? What's cookin for y'all?

17:48 <LibrarianofHope> my back is killing me

17:48 <Schism> Hm.  I guess they might've been in CoRM?  Dunno.

17:48 <Cepheid> Not from there either.

17:48 <Cepheid> Earliest logs show me being around back in 2014.

17:48 <LunaNightwind> its going ok Toothpaste and hello LibrarianofHope

17:48 <Schism> Though 2012, that's a good question...

17:48 <Schism> Also, hiya.

17:48 <Schism> Been a while, to be sure.

17:49 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y0sgfNNddk This is such a silly song for a game that has some seriousness to it.

17:49 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

17:49 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Pan Master Slash (Dead Cells Animated)

17:49 <Toothpaste> yesyes, good to be back lol

17:49 <Schism> Well, I mean, Alexander was pretty serious, right up until ... well, first Shanoa (kitty!) and then Brute Justice.

17:50 <Cepheid> But then again, the game's seriousness is distinct from the videos.

17:51 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX4cGcwmdsY

17:51 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

17:51 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Dead Cells - Animated Trailer

17:52 <Cepheid> It's a pretty accurate representation of how it is to play a Souls-like.

17:52 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLz1r_sCeXc This is my favourite though, mostly because of the music.

17:52 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Dead Cells: Rise of the Giant DLC, Major update... Thing - An animated trailer

17:52 <Cepheid> And how it ends.

17:53 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqlDDiEL6tE Though this one is good too.

17:53 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Dead Cells: The Bad Seed - Animated Trailer

18:05 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUARZuhOsH0

18:05 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Castlevania Chronicles OST - 15 You Goddamned Bathead (Arrange Ver.)

18:06 <Cepheid> Hmm.  For my purposes, I'll need a nine-patch model.

19:44 <Cepheid> Airline has inexplicably changed my sister's flight around.

19:48 <Schism> I'm sure there was some reason or another.

19:48 * Schism yawns, stretches. "Break -- shortly."

19:52 * Cepheid finishes models for use. Just now needs to figure out how to generate objects for purposes of rendering.

21:28 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

21:30 * Cepheid purchases as much of the Ys series as he can obtain. Substitutes the remakes for 3 and 4. Will need to emulate 5 on the SNES.

21:31 * LibrarianofHope emulates ali at high fps

21:32 <Cepheid> Schism.  Ys order.  Canonical/Chronological order, or release order?

21:43 <Cepheid> Hell with it.  Release order.

21:46 <Finwe> Messrs Cepheid, Golden, LibrarianofHope, Lumindia, Schism and Starlight_Glimmer; Mlles Ali, Surreal_Nightmares and PrincessRainbows.

21:46 * Finwe doffs his hat.

21:47 <Golden> Hey

21:48 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

21:48 * Schism doffs her lasagna.

21:49 <Cepheid> Ah yes, the insane old "Off-center touch" to attack.

21:49 <Schism> Also, Cepheid... going to ask if you should do Tales in release or chronological order next?  :P

21:50 <Cepheid> Right, I don't have a weapon.  And heh.

21:50 <Schism> (I know, they're not in the same world anyway.)

21:52 <Cepheid> There's two worlds in the Tales series, as far as I know.

21:52 <Cepheid> And there is, in fact, a chronological order for them.

21:52 <Schism> Ah, nice.

21:53 <Schism> Oof.

21:54 <Schism> Just read Sen. Duckworth's response to a pundit claiming that she hates America.

21:55 <Cepheid> Aaaand whoops.  I bought a 1000 gold ring by mistake.  o3o

21:55 <Schism> Maybe it'll come in handy later?  :S

21:55 <Cepheid> It most certainly has a use.

21:57 <Cepheid> A guy gave me 1500 for it.  It was his wedding ring.

21:57 <Schism> Well, there you go then.  o5o

22:05 <Cepheid> I should grind up a bit of cash for items.

22:05 * Schism looks at her arms, which are red. "I hate summer."

22:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Story:  Queen Rarity (Update Complete!) [ http://tinyurl.com/ybtecbvk ]

22:10 <Schism> Irish constitution.  I do not tan.  I turn into a boiled lobster.

22:11 * Cepheid bumps into Schism slightly off-center.

22:11 * Schism takes 85 damage.

22:13 <Cepheid> That there is a boss door.  Not going in.  Not yet.

22:13 * Cepheid grinds a level or two.

22:14 <Cepheid> 800 EXP for next level... That's 100 of these enemies.  o3o

22:15 <Cepheid> And these things are worth 25 gold.  So 100 of them is 2500 gold.  That'll allow me to get a better weapon and better armor.  o3o

22:16 <Cepheid> "Who grinds in Ys?"  "People who KNOW this series."

22:24 <Schism> To be honest, I've only played Ys 5, and -- yes.

22:25 <Cepheid> Heh.

22:25 <Cepheid> There, upgraded sword and armor. o3o

22:27 <Cepheid> I overprepared.

22:27 <Cepheid> The boss died in 3 hits.

22:27 <Schism> Eh, it's the first boss, right?

22:35 <Cepheid> Still.

22:35 <Schism> Mlrghnm.  Also, heh.  That's part of the Ys series.  If you're not underprepared...

22:35 <Schism> Er, if you're not _overprepared_ rather.

22:39 <Cepheid> Third floor of the shrine hurts like hell.  Good EXP and money though.

22:40 <Cepheid> 11000 gold for the best storebought armor.

22:40 <Lumindia> Oh schism!

22:40 <Cepheid> Might as well.
