01:05 <Vulpor> Hey everyone
01:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Bronies in the Post G4 Era Panel at SDCC [ http://tinyurl.com/yce5szcn ]
01:15 <Vulpor> Hope everyone is doing well
01:15 <Vulpor> My wife got COVID but is ok now
01:16 <Ali> That sucks Vulpor, hopefully it wasn't too bad
01:17 <Cepheid> Good to hear she is doing okay. I've been keeping well, myself. I got lucky and decided take a break from university before the pandemic started, and I've been stuck inside my house for the last 8 months as a result.
01:19 <Cepheid> Biggest concern really was that I came down with a lung infection and my family, including myself, started to get stressed and worried for my safety. Especially since my parents jobs were essential(security, computer hardware repairs) and my sister is a raging extrovert.
01:21 <Cepheid> And no, I didn't contract COVID. In fact, doctors don't know what I have. I got tested. Came back negative. Getting bloodwork and lung samples now. o3o
01:22 <Cepheid> On the good news front my headaches have finally stopped. Oh, and I'm trans.
01:27 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/vjqhnko2zva51.png I see Capcom is bring back the flamboyant-but-awesome armours.
01:30 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/hc4xiqx9xma51.gif
01:37 <Vulpor> Ah crap I was in another tab yes thank you Ali and Cephied glad your doing well we are preparing to watch the show at some point is Netflix the best way?
01:37 <Vulpor> I saw they have MLP fim on netflix but do they got the movies?
01:38 <Ali> Huh, so now Cepheid and Schism are trans. Welp shows you how much I know~
01:39 <Cepheid> Netflix, Amazon Prime, both are good. If you liked Futurama and The Simpsons, check out Disenchanted on Netflix.
01:40 <Vulpor> I know of Disenchanted
01:40 <Cepheid> Truth told Ali, this should not come as a surprise for me. In the past I have had periods where I was referred to using feminine pronouns here. Course, those were quite a while back, and memory being what it us..
01:41 * Ali shrugs, dun't care about gender type, just that unicorn tries to be friendly to all.
01:41 <Vulpor> Also I just got done She Ra and Voltron and working on Dragon Princw
01:42 <Vulpor> Dragon Prince has sone SERIOUS Pirates of Darkwater vibes
01:43 <Vulpor> Also i spent a month in Gravity Falls damn that show is good
01:43 <Cepheid> Heh.
01:44 <Vulpor> Been buying a few games too I just got done with Prototype 1 which is fun as hell
01:45 <Vulpor> I am currently downloading Ace Combat 7
01:45 <Vulpor> Waiting for Cyberpunk
01:46 <Vulpor> Also watching Hannibal the show on NBC
01:46 <Vulpor> or the show that was on NBC
01:47 <Cepheid> I've been going through as much of the Ys series I can get my hands on. When I'm not confined to bed that is.
01:47 <Ali> I'm just hoping Paper Mario won't be garbage.
01:47 <Vulpor> I have heard good things on Ghost of Shashima
01:48 <Vulpor> However I just do not want to buy it for 60 bucks
01:48 <Vulpor> Every game I have bought has been on sale cause why not
01:49 <Vulpor> I generally just do not buy games day one
01:51 <Cepheid> I'm trying to avoid that myself these days, as up here in Canada, games are starting breaking the $100 price barrier now.
01:56 <Vulpor> Well strap in buddy cause PS5 and the new Xbox game prices will be $70
01:58 <Vulpor> So come next gen I am going to do more sale buying
01:58 <Vulpor> So many games are just not worth full price
02:01 <Vulpor> Honestly the only franchise I may buy day one is Elder Scrolls 6
02:01 <Vulpor> I love that world and the lore
02:04 <Cepheid> That's in the US.
02:05 <Cepheid> $70 converted to CAD isd...

02:21 <Lumindia> eeeee halo 3 on PC
02:34 <Vulpor> Ali I know but my life for the Dragonfires!
02:35 <Ali> Next thing you know their mostly non existant skill tree will be totally removed, you just level up for the sake of leveling, no perks, no skills, nothin.
02:35 <Vulpor> Also I just gotta know how the story goes in the next game
02:35 <Ali> I never played Skyrim
02:35 <Vulpor> Skyrim was ok but not as good as Oblivion
02:36 <Vulpor> and I have gone back to Daggerfall which is better
02:37 <Vulpor> Skyrim has a great hook of a story but the damn Dominion still remains after the story
02:38 <Vulpor> What I mean is I never got to kick the Almarian Dominion out of Skyrim
02:44 <Ali> The irks of Oblivion
02:44 <Ali> Too few VA's
02:44 <Ali> And every pesent was ugly as all hell
02:46 * Schism flops in, end of her shift.
02:47 <Vulpor> Oblivon was my first Elder Scrolls game
02:47 <Vulpor> I also was a console only guy
02:47 <Vulpor> So, that game just made my summer
02:48 <Vulpor> It was my first 360 game
02:48 <Vulpor> My first non Japanese RPG
02:49 <Vulpor> My first time meeting Lucian LeChance was great
02:49 <Vulpor> I can still name every city in Cyridil
02:50 * Schism rolls a cheese wheel over to Vulpor. o3o
02:50 <Vulpor> I still have my Septim coin lol
02:52 <Vulpor> lol I will never forget the first time I moved something in that game
02:52 <Ali> STOP RIGHT THERE LAWBREAKER
02:52 <Vulpor> I moved a bowel off a table and was like "holy crap i can move ALL this stuff?"
02:52 <Ali> And then a guard arrested you
02:53 <Vulpor> lol yes
02:53 *** Quits: Stormspark (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP) (Quit: Leaving)
02:53 <Vulpor> I remember reading a book for the first time in that game
02:54 <Vulpor> The fact they did that they put books in the game to explain stuff fascinated me
02:54 <Ali> I find it funny that you can technically stay level one forever
02:54 <Vulpor> The Divine and Deadra gods and how different they were
02:54 <Ali> As long as you don't do quests that require sleep, or do them before you skill up too much.
02:55 <Schism> Or simply don't train up the skills relevant to your custom class.
02:56 <Vulpor> Yes and you can name your class
02:57 <Schism> For example, Doug the Eagle named his class "Loser".
02:57 <Schism> Picking Armorer, Block, Blunt, Alchemy, Marksman, Sneak, and Speechcraft.
02:57 <Vulpor> Also you are not the damn emperor
02:58 <Ali> Sneak is so easy to level up though
02:58 <Vulpor> I was sso surprised when the Amulet of Kings did not go on me
02:58 <Vulpor> I thought for sure I as the protagonist would be the heir
02:58 <Vulpor> Ah Rufio
02:59 <Vulpor> Right Ali?
02:59 * Schism opens up a barrel, finds 10 poisoned apples therein. Sells them for 300 septims apiece. Repeats a week later.
02:59 <Vulpor> Pick a corner sneak for a few hours
02:59 <Schism> Poisoned apples, the best way to eliminate a pesky NPC. 10 health damage per second, never stops.
02:59 <Ali> But why stop there Schism, when you can just spawn watermelons out of NOTHING
03:00 <Ali> You know what I found funny a few times
03:00 <Ali> I don't remember the city name, but its castle is across a long bridge leading into the city
03:00 <Ali> Well the AI for the guards seemed to be bugged, and they would path themselves off the bridge and falling to their deaths
03:01 <Ali> So I was like SWEET free guard armor
03:01 <Vulpor> What quests are there Ali?
03:01 * Ali headtilts
03:01 <Vulpor> Sounds like Skingrad
03:01 <Ali> Its been way too long since I've played Oblivion
03:01 <Schism> Ali: Oh, you mean Rivet City? o3o
03:01 <Ali> And I can't install it on PC cause my copy is discs and I don't have a D drive
03:02 * Cepheid continues laying in bed, listening to music.
03:02 <Vulpor> Also that one dang door in the Arcane university
03:03 <Vulpor> that can suck a lemon
03:03 <Vulpor> I bought that DLC just to unlock it
03:04 <Vulpor> Shivering Isles was worth it though
03:04 <Schism> Ali: https://www.it-he.org/oblivion/anchorit.jpg
03:06 <Ali> At least it wasn't the Horse Armor DLC
03:06 <Vulpor> LOL

03:36 <PinkieShy> I heard herbal tea might help
03:36 <PinkieShy> so went for it :)
03:36 <Cepheid> I wouldn't go insane, but my brain would consistently feeling like a gravitational anomaly is manifesting within it.
03:37 <Cepheid> As that's how I tend to feel from excessive puns.
03:38 <Cepheid> I have particularly interesting reactions to things. I blame my hyper-empathy or whatever it is I suffer from.
03:40 <Cepheid> Now that I think about it, I wonder if it's related to my trans state in any way. I feel extremely powerful emotions in response to a number of things.
03:41 <Schism> Mebbe. I know that my own emotions tend to be a bit more stolid, but then, everyone's different.
03:43 <Cepheid> In my case I would still argue though that it might be some sort of psychological problem. Because my reaction can be extreme. For example, I cannot watch a certain show my family likes, because it instills frustration and anger in me to the point of nausea.
03:43 <PinkieShy> I almost got me green tea earlier at the store..
03:43 <Schism> Gotta wonder what show that is, Cepheid. o3o;

04:09 <Schism> Mmm. After that long...
04:10 <Cepheid> It'd be faster, but that would require bringing my PC upstairs, and killing internet performance for everyone else.
04:12 <Cepheid> I'd much rather just wait. It's not like I have the physical energy to sit in front of a computer anyway.

04:15 <Cepheid> My hair likes to grow in extremely curly and dries out easily, no matter what I do.
04:18 <Schism> Same. I've taken to conditioning, which helps a bit.

06:16 <ConfusionRift> Not much progress. Opened the desert to see what was up, and died thrice to manticores. Got real tired and kinda stopped. Sooo... still by Necropolis.
06:16 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, got impaled there.
06:17 <ConfusionRift> Like... those aetherials got boosted or something. They hurt something fierce... or my resistance is garbage.

06:20 <Schism> Hum. I think that's a speed boost for my MM now. Yay.
06:20 <Schism> Now if only I could open up TerraMart. I hope I don't have to clear the Floran dungeon for that.
06:23 <Cepheid> ... Huh. That might be why I have a headache. Large quantities of dried blood in my nose.
06:24 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift, treat Grim Dawn like a roguelike. Resistances are insanely important. Not like in Diablo 3.
06:25 <Cepheid> You want them as high as possible for later areas, especially in the Malmouth expansion.
06:25 <Schism> And now I need some 96 more manipulator modules to complete this. Time to take a break. @_@

06:45 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
06:48 <Cepheid> Yeah. That should be replaced. As for resistances, I tend to use the stash to store gear with different elemental resistances, and switch around as needed. Necropolis requires bleeding, aetherial, chaos and vitality resistances mainly. Aetherial can be dropped after a point.

07:40 <ConfusionRift> Tombstone. Not sure if it's a homage to someone, or if it's story/quest related.
07:41 <Cepheid> Oh, yeah, it's a homage to someone.
07:41 <Cepheid> There's a few of them throughout the game. All homages to someone who passed away during development. Either in the dev team, or the community.

08:09 * PrincessRainbows licks ConfusionRift's nosie and curls up for sleepies. Nini
08:11 <ConfusionRift> Have a good one. :P
08:13 * PrincessRainbows whinnies softly
08:26 <Cepheid> ... Okay Microsoft. I told Windows to update and shut down. Instead, you update and reboot.
08:36 <Ali> What was the point of the update anyway?
08:38 <Cepheid> DNS security bug fix. Kinda important.
08:39 <Ali> Gotta love it when they do an update, then have to do another update to fix a loophole the update made.
08:49 <ConfusionRift> Put out a piece of software. Fix whatever bugs there may be. Fix the bugs that showed up after fixing the previous bugs. Get them all fixed, and get more bugs. After the massive fixing, the software no longer works as it should. Revert to the previous version and start fixing again.
08:50 <ConfusionRift> Space Engineers kinda did that. :P

09:31 * ConfusionRift flopples and slides to get food.
09:47 <Andorrac> Tombstone? not the Living Tombstone, i hope?
09:48 <ConfusionRift> It didn't attack me, so nope. :P
09:50 <Andorrac> hah :)
09:50 <Andorrac> no, i meant the brony musician
09:52 <ConfusionRift> I know. It's just that said tombstone could be targeted and attacked. It had no reaction, so... yeah. :P Also, the name on it wasn't The Living Tombstone.
09:53 <ConfusionRift> Unsure they have any MLP references.
09:53 <ConfusionRift> Or any community easter eggs.
09:59 <Andorrac> well, it can't be that, if the Living Tombstone'd died it would be front page news on EqD
10:00 <Andorrac> so i'm relaxing :)
10:00 <ConfusionRift> ...
10:02 <ConfusionRift> We were talking earlier about Grim Dawn. There are tombstones in certain areas, which don't act like the others. Apparently, they're homages to people who died during development. Some devs, others from the community.
10:02 <Andorrac> i see
10:03 <ConfusionRift> Considering how big the MLP community is, there might be an easter egg here or there. Who knows.

11:49 <Cepheid> Far as I know though, the big one is in that fortress to the south of Homestead.
11:50 <Cepheid> Apparently that monument was to someone incredibly well-known in the community.
11:54 <Cepheid> There appears to be two.
11:55 <Cepheid> Gogo the Chaotic Mellon, at Tyrant's Hold, and...
11:56 <Cepheid> Praetorian Zedlee
11:56 <Cepheid> Over in Homestead.
11:56 <ConfusionRift> Found Gogo.
11:57 <Cepheid> Oh, wait. Zedlee is an NPC.

11:58 <ConfusionRift> Oooh.
12:03 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, there are 3 graves in the Old Arkovia which are not for deceased players. Those 3 are kickstarter rewards.
12:07 <Cepheid> So, you find any of the special "shields" yet?
12:08 <ConfusionRift> Unsure. Might have.
12:08 <ConfusionRift> I keep any unique items I find, even if I don't use them.
12:10 <Cepheid> There is a set of three "shields" that are actually one-handed maces. Each one a different shield and stronger than the last.
12:10 <Cepheid> They were created because someone wanted to dual-wield shields.
12:11 <ConfusionRift> heheheee!
12:12 <Cepheid> They are prefixed with the phrase "Totally Normal"
12:12 <Cepheid> So Totally Normal Buckler, Bulwark and Dawnshard.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> Don't think I have seen them. Hopefully I didn't just sell them like a dope.
12:17 <Cepheid> If you did, you can just go back and get another, I think. As for their locations, they are hidden. So you need to keep an eye out.
12:22 * Cepheid summons an eye of Dreeg.

22:54 <Cepheid> Apparently, verified Twitter accounts are/were being hacked today to advertise bitcoin stuff.
22:55 <Schism> For the strangest reason, I am amused by this. (Also, bleh. VTO. Oh well, early start on my three-day weekend.)
22:55 <Schism> (VTO rather than MTO. But the one turns into the other.)

23:01 * Schism does a set of 10 sit-ups too. Should be trying to exercise more. In part because she needs to tone up. "Sit-ups and crunches, anyway. Of course, it would help if I had some padding so that my tail doesn't hurt."
23:02 * Schism also does some general stretches, and hears a worrisome series of pops. Stupid spine.
23:03 <Cepheid> That's normal.
23:04 <Schism> I like your new Strong Sad-esque avatar.
23:05 <Cepheid> Oh, that's just my piss-poor attempt to vectorize the stick figure in the trolley problem image.
23:05 <Schism> Oh. Well, even so, I've seen worse avatars.

23:09 <Schism> Also, more crunches.
23:12 <Schism> Gonna hurt, these sets.
23:12 * Schism then pauses. Looks at her arm. Takes a moment to set herself against the ground.
23:13 <Schism> Nope, no 1h pushups.
23:13 <Cepheid> So apparently the twitter accounts were advertising a scam. You send money to a BTC wallet, the supposed owner of the Twitter account would send back twice as much.
23:13 <Cepheid> One of those "Too good to be true" type scams that people SOMEHOW STILL FALL FOR.

23:18 <Schism> Blh. Come Friday, I think I'll have to invest in some actual grooming paraphernalia. Nail files, brushes, the lot. Not sure if I'll do anything with my eyebrows yet.
23:18 <Cepheid> I definitely need a nail file, myself.
23:18 <Schism> Though a blow dryer might not be out of the question.
23:19 * Schism gnaws on Cepheid's bald head.
23:19 <LibrarianofHope> you goign to learn makeup?
23:19 <Cepheid> Please don't. I don't want to get scalped.
23:19 <LibrarianofHope> i have makeuo brushes
23:20 <LibrarianofHope> they are weirdly usefull for my mini painting
23:20 <Schism> Ehn. Not really a makeup sort of person right now. I'll have to get the idea somewhere down the line, and I think I have a general idea of how it works, but that's a bit more complicated.
23:20 <Cepheid> I will, initially for covering the bruising on my face.
23:20 <Schism> Small touches first.
23:21 <LibrarianofHope> transition makes you think of those sort of small details, its rather intersting

23:23 <Schism> Would you believe that one of the smallest things which I find has helped is just swapping out my deodorant?
23:23 <LibrarianofHope> in a simplistic principle gender is a highl mental thing
23:23 <Schism> And emotional. Though the two get conflated a lot.
23:24 <LibrarianofHope> you are a woman, simply becuase you decalre it as such
23:24 <Cepheid> My eyes itch like mad. As does my nose.
23:24 <LibrarianofHope> but the subcosncious stuff should help
