00:00 <Cepheid> Well that was a dangerous move. Sitting in the living room, going through r/egg_irl.
00:01 <Schism> Almost like your brain wants to come out or something.
00:01 <Cepheid> Yerp.
00:07 <Cepheid> Gods, when my sister returns, I'm asking her to show me some basic makeup techniques for dealing with my eye sockets. =.=
00:08 <Cepheid> My parents don't notice the bruising, because they're used to it. But it's one of the things I see EVERY. DANGED. TIME. I look in a mirror.
00:09 <Cepheid> Just because people around me don't see it because they don't focus on it, doesn't mean I don't see it.

00:10 * Schism nods. :< "I hope she's able to give you at least some help there. Though makeup is damned expensive."
00:10 <Cepheid> I am aware.
00:11 <Cepheid> But I feel as though the visible effects of the bruising outweigh the cost.
00:11 * Schism nodnods.
00:12 <Cepheid> When I look at myself in a mirror, I feel like I'm looking at someone who doesn't sleep at all, or the victim of domestic abuse.
00:13 <Schism> Well, we know that the former is the case, at least. But I can see why the latter might come to mind. Black eyes, puffy face...
00:13 <Ali> Its all guano in the end~
00:15 * Schism frowns, considering what she should make. "Omelet...? Or..." She decides to have some of those Jamaican patties she picked up before.
00:15 <Cepheid> The bruising is caused by the sinus infection. It's primarily along my nose, not under my eyes like bags, etc.
00:15 <Cepheid> So it's not even sleep related.
00:18 <Cepheid> https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/i-want-to-be-a-cute-anime-girl/8-the-signsss/viewer?title_no=349416&episode_no=8 3rd panel. Basically me, with respect to the bruising. Also other things, but primarily the bruising.
00:18 <Schism> That 'ugh' is me, yes.
00:19 * Schism pffs at #99. "... WELL YES."
00:20 <Cepheid> Were it not for the bruising, it'd be, mmm... Eyes, shape of my face, and, you know, the beard. Maybe eyebrows, too, 'because they seem kinda thick to me, and grow in a bit weird.
00:20 <Cepheid> I don't like my eye color, as you already know.
00:20 <Schism> Bushy eyebrows, yes. Need to... well, want to do something with these.
00:20 <Schism> And yes. I wish that I could do contact lenses, but yeeeeeeehhh....
00:20 <Cepheid> I can do contact lenses. I just need a prescription.
00:21 <Schism> I just can't get over putting them in my eyes.
00:21 <Cepheid> I'd keep the glasses for the evening, when I do my in-bed reading. Take the contacts out, wear the glasses in bed.
00:21 <Schism> I should also suggest possibly getting a different set of frames.
00:21 <Cepheid> I'm fine with the frames I got, actually.
00:21 <Schism> When, that is, you have the time and money to go to an optometrist. And oh? Okay then. o3o
00:22 <Cepheid> While it's true there are feminine and masculine frames, I consider most of them to be unisex in nature. When you start getting into masculine or feminine frames, they tend to really, REALLY overdo the gender.
00:23 <Cepheid> If you want to make them gender-specific, then the color is what's important there. In my case, my frames are black, which I find works just fine for men or women.
00:24 <Schism> True. I would go so far as to say a unisex pair, with more rectangular lenses to contrast the fact that my face is somewhat round.
00:25 <Cepheid> That's what I have, yeah.
00:25 <Cepheid> And only because anything non-rectangular is pretty much an impossibility for me.
00:25 <Schism> Mine's kinda like that, so on consideration, that's fine.
00:25 <Cepheid> My prescription is apparently so strong, it lends itself to a very slim set of lens type and size.
00:27 <Cepheid> Plus, I imagine it'd help with my light sensitivity issue a bit.
00:27 *** Quits: alissq (alissq@tor.sasl.alissq) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
00:30 <Cepheid> I dunno what color I'd go with the lenses, though.
00:30 <Cepheid> As for name, I opted for something simple, Schism.
00:31 <Schism> Aye?
00:31 <Cepheid> Or, at the least, have it on the table for now.

00:32 <Schism> I'm thinking Jen. Not sure tho, because I have like fifty thousand characters.

00:43 <Cepheid> Coffee, then off to lay in bed and read. Tired. Should take advantage of the fact.
00:43 <Nedemai> I spent half an hour trying to figure out what flower/plant that is Schism, please tell me
00:44 <Schism> I believe that is a variant of nightshade, or belladonna.
00:45 <Schism> It might, however, alternately be a bellflower.
00:47 <Nedemai> both flowers you think it is are 5 pointed, the flower at the beginning of that video is 8
00:47 <Schism> It might alternately be clematis, a flowering vine which while ostensibly a useful herbal supplement is known to cause severe internal bleeding upon consumption, as well as severe trauma in the mucous membranes.
00:47 <Schism> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis#/media/File:Clematis_'Nelly_Moser'.JPG
00:47 <Schism> Then perhaps Clematis is indeed the case. I have no doubt that all those flowers are extremely toxic, though.
00:47 <Nedemai> I personally think its a white rhododendron
00:48 <Nedemai> which is also toxic lol
00:48 <Nedemai> actually, man... hrm
00:48 <Schism> :> As is appropriate for the show.
00:48 <Nedemai> is definitely a clematis
00:48 <Nedemai> that first flower is for certain a white clematis
00:48 * Schism nodnods.
00:49 <Nedemai> I have a smol garden, I like plants
00:49 <Nedemai> I use mint for blood pressure and digestive issues
00:49 * Schism nodnods. "And taste."
00:49 <Nedemai> (half my garden is different kinds of mint herbs)
00:50 <Schism> If you don't follow @ursulavernon, you must.
00:50 <Nedemai> lemon balm, water mint, peppermint, spearmint, I also have thyme (I never use it for anything) and lemon verbena
00:50 <Schism> Er, @ursulav.
00:50 <Nedemai> I don't follow anyone
00:50 <Nedemai> Im actually... kinda really offline that way
00:50 <Schism> But you must! She has such strange and wonderous things in her garden.
00:51 <Nedemai> I appreciate the suggestion, ill consider it
00:51 <Schism> These things include the many varieties of chicken her husband raises.
00:51 <Schism> And the occasional other wildlife.

01:00 <Cepheid> ... And now they are starting to get loose.
01:00 <Schism> ... welp.
01:01 <Cepheid> I was not aware that fat burned away this quickly.
01:01 <Schism> Worst thing, you can't really go outside...
01:01 <Schism> Yea, it does if you put some effort into it. Not the same thing as building up muscle, but.
01:01 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
01:02 <Cepheid> My belt, while not comfortably yet, I can now manage up to the sixth hole.
01:02 <Cepheid> It only has 7.
01:03 <Cepheid> In another two weeks I'll likely have to start adding more holes, get a new belt, or get some new clothes.
01:03 * Schism nods. "Afore too long, new clothes all around."
01:05 <Cepheid> Right now, the first two options seem most reasonable. It's expensive to replace a wardrobe. And for jeans, I prefer the baggy look anyways.
01:07 <Cepheid> That said, jeans would be too much for some time yet.

01:14 <Schism> Ah, yes.
01:15 <Ali> Bleh, I tried a mask on for the first time, my god I feel like I'm choking. Gonna take time getting used to that. X.x
01:16 <Schism> Depends _greatly_ upon the mask and the circumstances. I wear a thick cloth mask when I'm in any public establishment.
01:16 <Schism> Most of the time those are better in terms of air conditioning and such, which helps.
01:17 <Schism> I say mostly, because if you feel like you're choking now, the moment you walk into, say, a Wal*Mart...
01:17 * Ali nods, was also worried about heavy glasses fogging.

01:27 <Cepheid> Those are, without a doubt, the least stealthy thieving pirates I have ever seen.
01:28 <Schism> True! But heartsongs don't count anyway.
01:29 <Cepheid> Indeed. It seems the homeowners are deafer than a bag of bricks.
01:30 <Schism> As are the guards. But bear in mind, this is the same Gilbert & Sullivan production which gave us "The Major General's Song".

08:03 <Cepheid> In any case, I'm done with the chips anyhow. Starting to get sick of em. Gimme freezies instead.
08:28 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: Leaving)
08:31 <Cepheid> Blagh. Headache.
08:31 * Golden flops tired from birthday
08:32 <Cepheid> Happy birthday!
08:32 <Cepheid> I got you squat.
08:32 <ConfusionRift> Habby Burthdayyy!
08:33 * ConfusionRift gets bricked. "Happyyyy birthdaaayyyayayyy..."
08:33 <Cepheid> ... Where'd that brick come from?
08:34 <Golden> The sky
08:35 <Cepheid> Please don't go Chicken Little on us.
08:35 <ConfusionRift> Probably the other pony whose always hiding and watching what I do at all times. ._.
08:37 * Cepheid attaches a memetic hazard to ConfusionRift. It makes anyone who sees it, see the object it is attached to as a potato.
08:37 <Golden> I was at an eight hour long dnd one shot, and got an Asuna plastic model kit after.
08:37 * ConfusionRift flips and lands on his head. "~I'm a little teapot, short, and spout! Here is my handle, here is my spout!~" Here's giggling at the distance.
08:38 <ConfusionRift> *Hears
08:39 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaand twitter stopped loading stuff. Cool.
08:40 <Cepheid> Cloudflare has been acting up apparently.
08:40 <ConfusionRift> This happens all the time.
08:41 <Cepheid> Ah.
08:41 <ConfusionRift> Check a few images, open a couple of videos, then everything stops loading and can't see anything for hours.
08:44 <Cepheid> Ah. Yeah, sometimes I get that. Especially in the Android app. Usually I have to force stop it and restart it.
08:45 <ConfusionRift> Running the browser one though.
08:46 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/ixfgd6qgsqb51
08:46 <Cepheid> Yeah in that case, no idea.
08:54 <ConfusionRift> That some mad cat.
08:58 <Cepheid> Yep.
09:03 <Cepheid> ... Oh my gods I understand why Ali refuses to acknowledge she's cute.
09:03 <ConfusionRift> o_0
09:04 <ConfusionRift> But she isn't. (cough cough)
09:06 * Cepheid quarantines ConfusionRift. Checks him for a fever.
09:06 * ConfusionRift is a robopone, of course he's gonna run higher than usual. :P
09:10 * Cepheid orders full quarantine for ConfusionRift. Also puts a mask on him.
09:10 * ConfusionRift doesn't mind. Needed the vacation.
09:14 <ConfusionRift> "Why are you running in low power mode?" | I got quarantined. | "But... you're not a pony! Of course you're gonna run higher than 98.6!" | Well, according to safe workplace regulations, I have to be quarantined for 14 days, and take it easy in the meantime. :P | "You. Are. Not. A PONY!" | Tell them that, and watch as they look at you crazy and probably end up locked as well. | "I... but... FINE!"
09:14 * Cepheid wanders off to get more frozen juice and some migraine pills.
09:15 <Cepheid> Running outta these things. One left. Good thing I only need like, one a week at most.
09:26 <Cepheid> Huzzah, random lightning storm outta nowhere!
09:27 <ConfusionRift> From outta nowhere!!!
09:27 <Cepheid> Looks to be a short one. Cell is moving quickly.
09:31 * PrincessRainbows hugs ConfusionRift and whimpers
09:31 * ConfusionRift huggles PrincessRainbows.
09:37 <Cepheid> Rain reminds me of the time two years back when some tornados ran by. Heavy, going sideways, and hard to see through.
09:37 *** Joins: AppleDash (appled@Gladiolus.Rocks)
09:38 * PrincessRainbows boops ConfusionRift with her aj plushie and curls up for sleepies. Nini
09:39 <ConfusionRift> Have a good one!
09:41 <Schism> Well, that was a nice, restful 3 hours.
09:42 * Schism puts a mask on Sweetie Bot. Little fillies have to keep everyone safe, too.
09:44 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I need to stop trying to fight my sleeping cycle. Doesn't work. Hurts like hell.
09:47 <Schism> I know the--
09:47 <Schism> ./me looks at trending. "Okay." She shakes her head. "I know the feeling."
09:49 <Cepheid> And more storms on the way. Another cell just sprouted apparently, to my west.
09:49 <Schism> I see that Twitter shadowbanning certain activities has led to a backlash.
09:51 <Cepheid> Yerp.
09:54 * Cepheid just a meter into the air and scrambles behind ConfusionRift. That bolt was a tad close.
09:55 * Schism throws a red blanket over Cephy.
09:55 <ConfusionRift> With all the fireworks and all, I kinda got used to it. And yes, a firework went off not long ago. Some people, maaaan.
09:56 <Cepheid> Yeah, but this was bolt-crack. No delay. It was within a few hundred meters.
09:56 <Schism> Thunder's a bit of a different monster from all those darned fireworks, too.
09:57 * Schism equips her Thunderproof Mantle.
09:57 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, a fast cackle means it's real close.
09:57 * Cepheid chambers a revolver. "Road's flooded."
09:58 * Schism leaps off a cliff, forgetting that she's not wearing the Glider Mantle, and splats.
09:58 <ConfusionRift> [You Died!]
09:58 * Schism [-5000 zenny]
09:58 <Cepheid> You're a monster hunter. You'd just land, maybe roll, and be completely uninjured.
09:59 <ConfusionRift> Not this hunter. :P
09:59 <Cepheid> Only for a buzzy boi to come floating along and stun you
09:59 <Cepheid> For no danged reason.
09:59 <Schism> Why hello there, Paolumu, how nice to see you and Odoragon after me at once.
09:59 <ConfusionRift> And there goes the egg.
10:00 * Schism still giggles at Odoragon leaping up into the sun.
10:00 <ConfusionRift> https://randowis.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/mh-1.jpg
10:00 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:01 <Cepheid> You know what one of my greatest fears is with a lightning storm?
10:01 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?
10:01 <Schism> Computer part demise!
10:01 <Cepheid> That I'll be looking out the window, and a bolt strikes right in front of me, a few meters away.
10:02 <Cepheid> I know it wouldn't hurt me long-term, but it would be like getting flashbanged.
10:02 <Cepheid> Strangely, I fear this more than getting struck by lightning.
10:02 <ConfusionRift> That has happened before, long ago. I was holding an umbrella, and just threw it and went running inside.
10:03 <Schism> Yeesh. @_@ Well, the idea there... yah.
10:03 <ConfusionRift> "The gods do not want me to play outside..."
10:04 <Cepheid> I probably fear it more than getting struck, because if I got struck, I'd be in too much shock afterwards to even realize what happened, if I survived.
10:04 <Cepheid> Assuming I'm even conscious.
10:04 <Schism> "All right infinite staircase of darkness, just you and me. And apparently a face demon that causes intimate fear in whoever sees it. But guess what face boy, I’m fearless, so heh."
10:05 <Cepheid> Meanwhile? Up close with a bolt that didn't hit you? I imagine that would be painful as hell to the eyes and ears for several minutes.
10:05 <Schism> Yea, akin to a concussion.
10:05 <Cepheid> Or a flashbang grenade.
10:06 <Cepheid> It'd be an interesting sensation otherwise though. I imagine it creates a bit of a shockwave, and you'd feel it.
10:06 <ConfusionRift> It was next to me, rather than in front. So yeah, the pressure of mortar, a flash, and a really loud beep.
10:08 <Cepheid> A beep? Yeah, that would be your ears quite literally being overloaded. Possibly damage to the cilia in the cochlea.
10:09 <Cepheid> You probably suffered some minor hearing loss.
10:10 <Schism> People, please take note. Mountain goats will completely [yay] you up if given half a chance. https://twitter.com/beckoftheyukon/status/1284514361743036416
10:10 <Cepheid> Ringing in the ears is usually either from overload, or cilia in the cochlea dying off.
10:11 <Cepheid> That hoof stomping. That's aggression.
10:12 <Schism> Aye.
10:16 <Cepheid> Storm's done, looks like.
10:17 <Schism> For now. You might get some more this afternoon.
10:17 <Cepheid> Yeah.
10:17 <Schism> Hum. Protesters, angry at being dragged into the night and fog, have set fire to the Portland police union offices.
10:18 <Cepheid> Gee, I wonder why.
10:19 <Schism> The fire department of course responded immediately.
10:19 <Cepheid> Did they make the fire worse?
10:20 * Schism laughs derisively. "Of course not! Who do you think they are, the police?"
10:20 <Cepheid> No, I thought they might have helped the people.
10:21 <Schism> Oh. Well, that must have been tempting, but, well.
10:22 <Cepheid> Yeah yeah.
10:25 <Schism> Hum. While I'm glad that the brownshirts have finally received a pithy acronym from the government, 'PACT' doesn't have the same kind of snap and panache as, say, 'COBRA' or 'HYDRA'.
10:25 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:25 * ConfusionRift gets some apple pie. Not the store stuff, the homemade stuff. :P
10:25 * Cepheid goes to do some pushups.
10:26 <Cepheid> ... Nope. Not enough rest yet.
10:27 * Schism provides ConfusionRift wif a scoop of French vanilla ice cream to go with that apple pie.
10:27 <Cepheid> Think I'll sleep downstairs today. Too warm upstairs.

10:32 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate OST: Alatreon Theme アルバトリオン BGM [HQ | 4K]
10:36 <Cepheid> I wouldn't mind seeing Valstrax in MHWorld, but there is probably no way they could properly pull off it's signature move without using a specially designed arena for it.
10:36 <Schism> Valstrax is... oh, the jet engine.
10:37 <Cepheid> Basically, it alpha-strikes the field. Uses it's rocket boosters to fly off into the sky, orbit a bit, then blast back down to the ground, crashing and creating an explosion.
10:37 * Schism watches Valstrax launch four Options and Missiles. "Oh crap."
10:37 <Cepheid> Heh. No options, but it does fire off a bunch of small lasers.

10:38 <Cepheid> It also likes to literally blast itself across the area, running you down.
10:38 <ConfusionRift> Oooooh. Have not heard this song in a very long time.
10:38 <Schism> That is Valstrax's theme song. I don't care what you say. :P

10:39 <ConfusionRift> Fraxy got me into the Zone of the Enders OST, and some other games I never really got to play.
10:40 <Cepheid> Zone of the Enders 2 is on the PC these days.
10:42 <Schism> Hm, I wonder how the port is, though? Konami is about as hit-and-miss, port-wise, as Capcom.
10:42 <ConfusionRift> It also led me to Shoot The Core (which is dead at the moment).
10:42 <Cepheid> I've heard it is decent. I haven't checked myself.
10:44 * Schism ded. 'Command to Valstrax, we have a Bazelgeuse and Seregios unit ready to move out and assist on your order!' 'That won't be necessary.'
10:45 * Cepheid watches a blazing Xeno'jiva rear up, then crash down. It's front claws crash through the floor a moment later. "Oh shi-" *sound of carting*

11:42 <ConfusionRift> TAS is always a blast. :P
11:48 <ConfusionRift> The ALttP run is still my favorite. :P

11:50 <Cepheid> Arbitrary code execution is a hell of a drug.
11:51 <ConfusionRift> [Compiling...]
11:52 <Cepheid> No compilation is involved really. It's just a bunch of carefully controlled byte changes in RAM.

11:57 <ConfusionRift> No idea what's going on then. I feel fine, and not much looks different. | "I had some random stuff compiling, taking priority over the arbitrary code." | Oh... cool?

11:59 * Schism watches the black loop of Kaizo Trap.
12:00 <Jackie> I have a question. Do JRPG mechanics vary on every game?
12:00 <Schism> Well, depends upon the games. Many RPG Maker games, for example, utilize similar mechanics to one another. What were you thinking of in particular, though?
12:01 <Cepheid> Dad, cmon and wake up already. I wan- wait, I can just sleep on the couch and move downstairs when he waits up what am I doing?
12:02 <Jackie> I'm thinking of making a pony JRPG game which has a chapter sequence, and each party member has their own abilities
12:02 <Jackie> And oh, some important characters have a focus so it's not only 1 character you're controlling
12:02 <Jackie> Like a "meanwhile" or "flashback"
12:04 <Jackie> And speaking of JRPG, will any programming language do?
12:04 <Schism> Cepheid: Can we just launch 902 into the sun? Though I guess that might blow it up. The sun, that is.
12:06 <Cepheid> Yes, Jackie. CrossCode for example, is written in Javascript.
12:08 <ConfusionRift> Really? o_0
12:08 <Jackie> I'm trying to break Pygame's limits

12:20 * Schism provides the Lumin with a bowl of tomato soup!
12:22 * Nedemai drinks coffee and slumps
12:23 * Cepheid noms cereal, herself.
12:24 * Schism should make herself a cup of coffee. Or tea. Or something.
12:26 <Nedemai> I got bored yesterday and made a breakout plug for SNES/n64/gamecube. The end looks a bit odd but its tolerances are perfect
12:27 <Nedemai> the goal was Svideo output, but I technically have RGB pins exposed (n64 didn't really output properly to its RGB, or at all)
12:33 <Nedemai> also, there is a 5V output. Im considering designing something I can cut out easily on my CNC, source a cheapo scaler (there are quite a few of them on ebay), package it up nicely, resell XD
12:34 * Nedemai sighs
12:34 * Schism reads about a Rarity introducing the Ferengi to the Melnorme. "Oh gods."
12:34 * Nedemai blinks... what
12:35 * Nedemai imagines Quark walking into Raritys shop and hustling her
12:35 <Schism> The Ferengi are Star Trek's... well, think of an entire race of the Flim-Flam brothers. And the Melnorme are a kind of odd entity from Star Control, traders par excellence.
12:35 <Nedemai> star trek I know well, Star Control no data
12:36 <Schism> The Ferengi were of course overjoyed to meet the true masters of Acquisition. And that Rarity got a nice finder's fee for setting up the Melnorme with an entire species of interns.
12:37 <Nedemai> Well, thats optimistic
12:37 <Nedemai> The Ferengi from what I've seen are too egotistical for an arrangement like that
12:37 <Schism> Well, the Grand Nagus set it all up.
12:37 <Nedemai> but eh, Im missing chunks of context so
12:43 * Cepheid carefully clips her nails.
12:48 <Cepheid> There we go. Much better. Not too long, not too short.

12:58 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Squirrel hides Cheezits in Bernese Mountain Dog's fur.
13:02 <Cepheid> Pretty much. I could cut someone with these nails. Pinching is even worse.
13:05 <Cepheid> That said they aren't impervious. They tear under enough stress. Wouldn't mind using something to harden them.
13:05 <Schism> Such colourless glazes do exist for a reason.

13:13 <Cepheid> C'mon cat. I'm laying down now. Come get comfy.
13:20 <Cepheid> This room needs cleaning. Something in the air. Hurts my chest to breathe.
13:25 <Cepheid> http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1710
13:26 <Schism> "That ad in the paper was a total con. It said I could be a manatee. Always wanted to be one of those."
13:35 <Cepheid> If only they could help us reincarnate into cute girls.
13:44 <Cepheid> I like how Azul's left-handed drawings put people attempting to write with their non-dominant hand to shame.
13:52 <Schism> This is entirely too adorbs. https://twitter.com/AzulCrescent/status/1281574079808499712
13:52 <Cepheid> Yep.

13:57 <Cepheid> ... Uh oh.
13:57 * Cepheid starts sweating profusely.
13:59 <Cepheid> My dad saw me browsing r/egg_irl and other trans subreddits for about a minute. He didn't say anything, but uh... ... ... *Goes and hides in a hole*
14:08 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/rusf01f3dsb51.jpg
14:10 * Schism chuckles. "Er. I suspect that he'll be fine. You could of course just let him know that you have an academic interest in those walks of life."
14:12 <Schism> "There are two ways to lie artfully. Either tell the truth, but not all of it, or tell the whole truth in such a way that the recipient thinks you're lying."
14:12 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:13 * Schism hugs the Cepheid, though.
14:20 <Lumindia> pardon my ignorance, but how does 'egg_irl' mean 'trans'?
14:23 <Cepheid> egg_irl is a subreddit for posting memes about coming out as trans. That is, hatching, cracking the eggshell, etc.
14:23 <Cepheid> Schism, my sister picked a real winner of a dog.
14:24 <Schism> There is also the fact that 'egg_irl' is a terrible pun.
14:24 <Cepheid> Dog's laying down on the floor. Decides to flop over onto her side to get comfy. *Clonk*
14:24 <Schism> Pff.
14:24 <Cepheid> Dog hits her head against the floor. Then freaks out at the noise.
14:25 <Cepheid> She got up and ran away from the noise she made.
14:25 <Cepheid> Went into hiding on the far side of the ottoman from where she made the noise.
14:25 <Cepheid> Seriously, dumber than a bag of bricks.

14:41 <Schism> Aw, that's a sweet story.
14:43 <Lumindia> ah okay
14:43 <Lumindia> @ Cepheid
14:45 * Cepheid sits atop Lumindia's head.
14:47 <Schism> "Are you going to adhere to the results of the election?" "I'll tell you at the time." ...???

14:52 * Cepheid wanders off to see if she can get a bit of sleep.
14:52 * Lumindia is sat upon
14:52 * Lumindia offers self up as a cuddlepony
14:52 * Schism reads some fiction. Of a genre which is clearly relevant to her interests right now.

15:16 <Cepheid> Bleh. Can't sleep. Mind's thinking too much. Also, not tired enough to sleep. No seroquel to rely upon.
15:17 <Cepheid> Plus I really want to keep reading SCP for some reason.
15:17 * Lumindia pulls Ceph into a cuddle puddle with Schism
15:20 <Cepheid> ... Apparently my mother has been keeping a secret stash?
15:23 <Cepheid> Yerp.
15:41 <Schism> ... Huh. Secret stash of what?
15:41 * Cepheid squishes and molds Lumindia like a piece of play-doh, making a blanket out of him. She covers up.
15:42 <Schism> Just the weed?
15:42 <Cepheid> Seroquel.
15:42 <Cepheid> Stuff I use to help me sleep.
15:42 <Cepheid> Also keep myself from going insane.
15:42 <Cepheid> ... Or more insane than I already am, anyway.
15:44 <Schism> Oh yeah, that. Heh.
15:44 * Schism finds that she's working at 1:15. "Kay." Also, that there's a tornado warning ongoing.
15:46 <Cepheid> Fun.
15:46 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
15:48 <Cepheid> And seriously, the more pictures and videos I see of VRChat avatars, the more I wonder how many people on it are being hit hard by dysphoria.
15:52 <Cepheid> It has to have *SOME* effect, especially for the VR headset users, to look down, or in a mirror and see a body of the opposite gender.
15:52 <Schism> It's a shame that Second Life has been bought out, because you saw that sort of thing there.
15:52 <Schism> Also, yeah.
15:54 <Cepheid> See also: different species altogether.
15:54 * Lumindia is now being used to keep Ceph warm
15:54 * Lumindia is fine with this, provides all the warms
15:54 * Schism is too warm. Also, looks outside. "Thunderstorm, I like. Rain, I like. Tornado warning, not so much of a like."
15:55 <Cepheid> Then one day, we'll have either .hack- or SAO-style VR and then people will likely start having identity crises.
15:56 <Schism> The most depressing thing about SAO for me was when the jerk at the start said, "Nope, no crossplayers, you get locked into your physical bodies." I mean, what the hell?
15:58 <Cepheid> Yeah, that was a bit...
15:59 * Schism chuckles wryly. "And then there was Tsukasa in .hack//SIGN."
16:00 <Schism> Who was possibly the most understandable and realistic crossplayer of all.
16:05 <Cepheid> Seriously though, as VR tech evolves, psychology and psychiatry are going to see a severe uptick in dysphoria cases of all sorts.
16:06 <Schism> Even without advances therein, that's becoming more and more common. Because, surprise! When it becomes more socially acceptable to talk about dysphoria, a lot of people will realize that just maybe they're in an egg.
16:07 <Schism> What was that old statistic, something like one in ten thousand? Yeah... that's not accurate.
16:07 * Schism looks outside, where it's raining sideways. "..."
16:09 <Cepheid> That, and as more and more video games offer the choice of gender for protagonist, or character creation...
16:10 <Cepheid> Yes, some folks just want to stare at a character's butt, bust or junk. But others...
16:11 <Schism> Yup. Easier to emphasize with certain character varieties.
16:13 * Schism reads one of those many stories about VR and dysphoria. Grumbles, jealous of the MC, because she has supportive family and options available in the future.
16:13 <Cepheid> Honestly I have no idea what I was thinking when I made my MHW character male. Up until then, every MH character I made had been female.
16:13 <Nedemai> welp, apparently a storm is gonna blow through
16:14 <Nedemai> severe thunderstorm warning
16:14 * Schism eyebrows at Nedemai. "I forgot, you're in Hamilton or something, aren't you?"
16:14 <Nedemai> this may be relevant to you
16:14 <Nedemai> https://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/ontario/weather-radar
16:14 * Schism is in Kitchener.
16:15 <Nedemai> Im in St. Catharines, my brother is in Hamilton. he gave a warning on his discord cause of pokemon community day
16:15 <Schism> Oh ew, St. Kit's. :P
16:15 <Nedemai> I know
16:15 * Schism hugs the Nedemai. "You have my condolences."
16:15 <Nedemai> honestly, I don't want to live in a city, I want to be out somewhere away from people
16:16 <Schism> I've heard good things about Bruce.
16:16 <Cepheid> Good ole' Ottawa. Nothing beats that.
16:16 * Schism watches a swarm of mosquitoes descend upon Cepheid.
16:16 <Nedemai> this town has a large divide between "crack head scooter patrol vagrants" - the quotes are my own words, there is a group in the north end of the park who've yelled profanities at me, I've caused them issues multiple times for it
16:16 <Nedemai> and the other divide is rich snobs
16:17 <Cepheid> Given I live surrounded by swamps... Literal swamps, not political swamps...
16:17 <Nedemai> I mean okay Im not being nice, but even if I remove the name calling they are still a scooter patril
16:17 <Schism> I briefly visited St. Kit's the other year. It is... yeah, half gentrified, half meth lab.
16:17 <Finwe> o3o
16:17 <Finwe> Good evening, everypony.
16:17 <Nedemai> Schism, exactly
16:17 * Cepheid looks at radar for Ottawa.
16:18 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.
16:18 <Cepheid> Oh sweet Neptune.
16:18 * Schism doffs her tortilla hat.
16:18 <Finwe> Messrs and Mlles Cepheid, Nedemai and Schism.
16:18 * Finwe doffs his hat.
16:18 <Cepheid> Wall of green, yellow, red. No way it is gonna miss me.
16:19 <Nedemai> Schism, I live close to downtown, more money in the area, buuuuut, since the trails by the river are close, and all the homeless live down there, they spill out into the local parks
16:19 <Nedemai> its a problem thats been dealt with poorly
16:20 <Finwe> There are hardly any homeless people here.
16:20 <Schism> That's because Finland has subsidized housing and an actual support network.
16:20 <Nedemai> yea I need to watch I have a garden, most things will be fine but a few things would get washed away... I might bring them inside
16:20 <Schism> No kidding. Admittedly, when I was over there, the big issue was with the city council removing restrictions on corporate building heights, which the residents thought would ruin the very pleasant skyline.
16:20 <Schism> You can tell that was a couple years ago.
16:21 <Finwe> In Ottawa?
16:21 <Schism> No, St. Catharine's, a town very close to the US border which... I think is just opposite Niagara?
16:22 <Nedemai> Unfortunately for Canada, we on the surface act like we take care of our citizens but when you go a little deeper, the social programs are... based on policies from the USA, but that is more an opinion.
16:22 <Nedemai> Id have to dig a little to actually argue the point correctly
16:22 <Schism> No need for argument there. I daresay Cepheid and I are both in firm agreement.
16:22 <Schism> Particularly when it comes to mental health.
16:22 <Cepheid> Yep.
16:22 <Nedemai> yea, I've got a story there...
16:23 <Schism> Do we ever have stories for YOU! :D~
16:23 <Finwe> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Catharines
16:23 <Schism> Though admittedly I'm working soon.
16:23 <Finwe> This one?
16:23 <Schism> That one, yes.
16:23 <Nedemai> that is it
16:23 <Schism> Oh. You're on Cogeco, aren't you, Nedemai?
16:24 <Nedemai> not exactly, cogeco lines, but they arent providing the service
16:24 <Schism> Still, [consolation intensifies].
16:24 <Nedemai> I have little need for a lot of bandwidth, and if I do
16:24 <Nedemai> Ill go leech off my brothers fibe

19:18 <Nedemai> this feels a bit like jumping the shark to me
19:18 <Ali> They're still only Canada aired only
19:18 <Ali> The US has not started airing Pony Life for whatever the hell reason.
19:18 <Nedemai> yea, no worries Im not gonna spoil
19:18 <Nedemai> cause its part of treehouse, thats a canadian network
19:19 <Ali> Yeah but I don't know why Hasbro gave the green light to Canada to air it, but not the US
19:19 <Nedemai> because its not hasbro studios, its treehouse
19:20 <Nedemai> it makes it a canadian product
19:20 <Nedemai> which is kinda neat

21:35 <Nedemai> if your AC unit outside is full of debris, it can't move air over the fins, making is useless.
21:35 <PinkieShy> Yee
21:36 <Schism> Full of tree snot.
21:37 <Nedemai> however, the sad thing is units that use r410a tend to need a recharge after a few years too
21:37 <Nedemai> which is fine for outside units, but the inside self contained units... for $500 they should come with the recharge valves
21:43 <PinkieShy> I can't exactly do a very good cleaning myself to it
21:44 <PinkieShy> As its one of them enclosed condenser HVAC outdoor ones.. The coils have like small metal wall with a ton of small vents on it
