00:39 * Alice flops along the floor to the shower, limbs just flailing everywhere.

00:40 * Schism flops in from a store run.

00:41 * Schism imagines Alice being like a Bossa Studios character.

00:48 * Lumindia_ flops on both of them

00:56 <Alice> Interesting you should mention that, Schism.

00:57 <Alice> Bossa Studios recently had a little competition, for 30 closed-beta keys.

00:57 <Alice> For Surgeon Simulator 2.

00:58 <Alice> Long story short, I won one of the keys.

00:58 <Schism> Oh, congrats!

01:06 <Alice> It's for a single weekend, alas.  But if it's not NDA covered, I'll discuss if it's good. :P

01:39 <Schism> Oh good, heart container.

01:41 * Alice has a coughing fit. "Curses..."

01:46 <Schism> Yay, death to the kidnapping moblin.

01:46 <Schism> How Link does the spin attack while riding Epona, I don't know.

01:47 <Alice> Don't question it.

01:47 <Alice> Hum, mouthwash is definitely killing something off in my mouth that affects my breathing.  o3o

01:47 <Alice> Probably related to that infection I have.

01:51 <Schism> Glad I stocked up on rupees...

01:51 * Schism gets herself the Hylian Shield.

02:02 <Schism> And now I'm back up to an almost full wallet, because rupees are E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E.

02:09 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2243 [ http://tinyurl.com/y5uzysp5 ]

02:17 <Alice> Whelp, scientific process tells me that the mouthwash is either killing, or washing away something that aggravates my lungs.

02:18 <Lumindia_> I should probably get some mouthwash next time I go shopping

02:19 <Alice> Wouldn't hurt.  It'd alleviate any gingivitis you might have going on.

02:19 <Alice> That said, it's not a complete solution.  I can still feel tightness in my chest further in.  It's just, the coughing is much improved.

02:20 <Lumindia_> well it's helping in some capacity

02:20 <Alice> Like, the difference between night and day, within a few minutes time frame.

02:21 <Alice> Effectively, prior to it, I have gurgling, bubbling, and severe congestion.  Afterwards?  Bit of tightness, wheezing.  It's enough of a difference to help me nap and sleep, though.

02:21 *** Joins: Fluttershy (Fluttershy@Pony-a6jb34.res.spectrum.com)

02:22 <Lumindia_> in this case, a response actually is 'whatever helps you sleep at night'

02:22 <Lumindia_> :P

02:22 <Alice> Yep.

02:23 <Alice> That said, still took a look inside my mouth.  No more redness.  Lots of white, though.

02:24 <Fluttershy> lucky!!!

02:24 <Fluttershy> I have a sinuse infection and i'm starting to get a ear infection.

02:25 <Schism> It's nice of these Gorons to not get all het up about my being in their hot springs.  Well, I guess that a relaxing time in a hot spring would, er... cool tempers.

02:25 <Alice> I have a sinus infection, myself.

02:25 <Alice> Though I'm almost through the round of antibiotics.

02:25 <Alice> So outside of problems caused by say, wearing headphones, it's more or less dealt with.

02:25 <Alice> Now I just need to finish this round of penicillin as well and get rid of whatever's in my mouth with lots of saltwater rinsing and such.

02:27 <Fluttershy> I'm very Unlucky, I have had tubes in my ears because of an ear infection.

02:28 <Alice> Yerp, know that.

02:29 <Alice> Chronic infection in my ears from birth.  Went away at 16 years or so of age.  Replaced with sinus infection instead. o3o

02:32 * Schism begins the Goron Mines. "I hate this place already."

02:32 <Fluttershy> mine probably went away very quickly.

02:32 <Alice> Oh yay.

02:32 <Fluttershy> I don't really know.

02:32 * Schism falls in the lava over and over and OVER

02:33 <Alice> Those speculative execution bugs discovered last year?

02:33 <Alice> Turns out they're worse.

02:33 <Alice> Much worse.

02:33 <Alice> And that even the most recent CPU models may be affected by them, because the mitigations put in place DO NOTHING TO STOP THEM.

02:39 <Schism> oh no...

02:39 <Schism> I remember the schtick to this dungeon now.

02:39 <Lumindia_> what dungeon?

02:39 <Schism> Goron Mines.

02:39 <Lumindia_> oh, zelda

02:45 <Fluttershy> Which Zelda game?

03:00 * Schism considers, then provides Filly_Nightmares a giant sundae, topped wif banana and strawberries and honey cashews and of course whipped cream 'n' chocolate!

03:29 <Alice> I wonder how long I've had this infection for.  It seems like it could be why I've been feeling like garbage for the last few months.

03:38 * Alice sits atop Lumindia_ and noms a mix of pickles and chozo sausage. Wait, chorizo. Chorizo!

03:40 * Alice noms a pickle and hears the Metroid item-get theme.

04:06 * Filly_Nightmares butts her head against Alice because she haz a dual cpu server! o6o

04:06 <Alice> Happened relatively close to one another, yes.

04:06 * Filly_Nightmares berp

04:06 <Schism> I might have been responsible for Alice realizing that she's a girl, at least in part.

04:06 * Alice wonders if Filly_Nightmares is okay.

04:06 * Filly_Nightmares is super hungery!

04:07 * Filly_Nightmares pants heavily

04:24 <Alice> Kitty!

04:36 <Schism> "Flag 4.  Score a bulls-eye at this archery range." *shoots from 2 inches away*

04:38 <Alice> You still miss.

04:39 <Schism> I probably would.

04:40 * Filly_Nightmares sits on Schism cheekies

04:40 <Alice> You potentially could too.   If collision checks were poorly implemented.

04:41 <Schism> Cepheid: So, what would you do with a magnetic monopole?

04:42 <Schism> Er, Alice.  :<

04:42 <Schism> Sorry, Alice.  Gah.  

04:42 <Alice> It's fine. :P

04:43 <Alice> As for a magnetic monopole....  Drop it down a tube wrapped in a copper coil.

04:43 * Schism grins. "Instant power source."

04:44 <Schism> Powering a dynamo really is the best option there.

04:45 <Alice> I've been doing research into electromagnets and magnetism as of late.

04:45 <Schism> "What do you do with a monopole?" "Power a giant robot."

04:46 <Alice> ...  There was a 20GB leak of Intel data.

04:46 <Schism> A solid night's reading.

04:46 <Alice> Source code, documents mentioning backdoors, tools, etc.

04:48 <Alice> Well, so much for Intel ME.

04:49 * Filly_Nightmares wonders wat to do wif her dual cpu server!

04:50 <Alice> Noooo ideas.  What are the CPUs?

04:50 <Alice> And how much RAM?

04:52 * Filly_Nightmares eee!

04:53 * Filly_Nightmares haz two Xeon E5-2620 V2 and 24 gigabytes of RAM!

04:57 <Alice> Six cores, 12 threads.  With two of those, that's effectively 12 cores and 24 threads.  Build server?  Minecraft server?

04:58 <Alice> Really, anything that is either heavily threaded or parallel in nature would do.

05:00 * Filly_Nightmares purr!

05:01 * Alice snuggles floof for floofiness and healing.

05:20 * Alice forces herself to eat some more food.

05:31 <Alice> Turn off the fan, I'm too warm.  Turn on the fan, I'm too cold.

05:33 <Schism> Turn it on, blow it away from you?

05:34 <Alice> Let's see if that works, yes.

07:59 * Alice leaves out a casket of ice water, and eggshell hats for all.

08:00 <ConfusionRift> :P

08:00 * ConfusionRift wavies.

08:00 * Ali dun't get it

08:00 * Schism puts on a black cat hat instead of an eggshell hat.

08:01 * ConfusionRift puts on an eggshell hat, because it's cool... and he likes the hat.

08:02 * Ali doesn't get it...

08:03 * Alice just nods and smiles as she puts a real black cat on her head.

08:03 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali. :P

08:03 <Alice> Eggshell hat was a thing you could wear in Ragnarok Online.

08:04 <Alice> It was a literal piece of eggshell you wore on your head.

08:06 <Schism> Also, poring hats.

08:19 * ConfusionRift offers some cheesecake. There's a lot.

08:35 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Rocket Knight Adventures - Boss [EXTENDED] Music

08:36 <ConfusionRift> Aaaah, Rocket Knight Adventures, it's been a long time now.

08:38 <ConfusionRift> And then there's the final boss pinch, which is sped up to double.

08:40 <Alice> Mmhmm.

08:41 <Alice> Also used for the atmospheric re-entry.

08:41 * ConfusionRift nods.

08:41 <ConfusionRift> "Where do you thing YOU'RE GOING?!" | (panic screeches)

08:42 <Schism> Welll, I can say that Robotics;Notes is certainly much more lighthearted than Chaos;Head or Steins;Gate.  Still quite good, though, and they did an excellent job with the characters.

08:42 <Schism> Also *so many* references to the previous two.

08:46 * PrincessRainbows gallops at ConfusionRift and licks till he's dripping

08:46 * ConfusionRift pets PrincessRainbows. :P

08:51 * PrincessRainbows barks and wags her tail before nibbling on ConfusionRift's hooves

08:53 <Alice> Fun note about RKA.  Stage 5(?), the one with Axel's giant robot mech.  For reasons I cannot put into words, that stage scares me.  Not in any sort of difficulty sense.  I mean, legitimately, that something about it spooked the hell out of me.

08:55 <ConfusionRift> Huh. Odd, but I have encountered such a thing as well.

08:56 <Alice> It invoked such a strong fight or flight reaction, I'd just lock up most of the time.  I did eventually get past it, but...  Yeah.

08:57 <ConfusionRift> In ALttP, DW Dungeon 1 boss. For some reason, back then, I couldn't look at it. I would just get scared and freak out for no reason. I got over it, but never understood why.

08:58 <ConfusionRift> I would get nervous by Stage 5 as well. Most of the stage has been nothing but insta-KO hazards all the way through. And now I have to deal with rock'em sock'em robots.

08:59 <ConfusionRift> Oooh, and the chase too.

09:00 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony.

09:00 <Alice> Honestly, I think it was the whole instant death aspect, combined with all the various ways it could happen.  Races, advancing floors of doom, the spike paths, the chase.

09:00 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift.

09:00 <Finwe> o7

09:00 <ConfusionRift> That was insta-death if you got caught.

09:00 <Alice> It was particularly heave in that stage.

09:00 <Finwe> Messrs and Mlles Alice, PrincessRainbows, Schism, Lumindia_ and Nedemai.

09:00 * Finwe doffs his hat.

09:00 <Schism> Alice, ConfusionRift: Okay, we're not alone.  I'm speaking with another person who has had dreams of inconsequential events which later came true.  Whoever [yay]'d with the Antikythera mechanism clearly did not do a good enough job.

09:00 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

09:00 * PrincessRainbows also licks Finwe till he's dripping and wiggles her rump playfully

09:00 * Finwe snuggles a PrincessRainbows.

09:05 * ConfusionRift looks at Schism. "Huh?"

09:05 <Alice> With respect to weird dreams...  If any if you ever encounter a 16-story mall, with a movie theatre on the top floor, do not enter it, call me, and get me a good pistol and baseball bat.

09:05 <Schism> Those moments of deja vu where you know you've dreamed of that exact circumstance before?

09:06 <ConfusionRift> Dood, I rarely dream. I don't know why, but it's been the case of me closing my eyes and opening them again the next day.

09:07 <Alice> It's one of those dreams that stuck with me really well.  Too well.  Which distresses me, given it's content.

09:07 <Schism> Huh.  Also, Alice, would that be one of those dreams which leads to giant arms sticking out of the theatre screen?  If so, baseball bat may not be enough.  I'm sure I could whip up some C4 and chlorine gas.

09:09 <ConfusionRift> What I have had a lot are moments that give me a sense of deja vu. And then, I end up reminiscing about things and places in the past.

09:09 * PrincessRainbows looks up at ConfusionRift and grabby hooves

09:10 <Alice> The mall had a weird biomass growing throughout it, along with grotesque creatures roaming it, with a core of some sort on the 14th floor, accessible from an elevator on the 16th floor.  I was tasked with rescuing people trapped within.  I got the impression that the core was not actively in control of the creatures.  I actually remember the layout of some floors.

09:12 <ConfusionRift> This happened a few days ago. I left and made my way to work as usual, but the weather felt oddly familiar. I was reminded of a long time ago, when I used to go to the beach.

09:12 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, interesting.

09:12 <Alice> I was using specified weapons.  Interestingly I cannot recall the details of the gun, or I'd ask you about then, Rifty.  The bat was metal in composition.

09:12 <ConfusionRift> Probably one of those ol' school steel bats.

09:13 <ConfusionRift> You know, the heavy ones.

09:14 <Alice> Mmhmm.  Especially given my preference for heavier melee weapons.

09:15 <Schism> Honestly, you can't go wrong with a lead pipe, capped at both ends and filled with tungsten sand.

09:16 <Schism> About 1kg of sand, mind.

09:16 <Alice> Screw that.  Chunk of concrete attached to steel beam.

09:16 <ConfusionRift> As for the pistol, there are usual culprits referenced by the media, videogames, and pop culture.

09:17 <Schism> Don't go for the Walther PP, please.

09:19 <ConfusionRift> A 1911, a Glock of any model (they all look basically the same), Beretta Model 92, Walther PPK (or a model based on it), or a revolver (most look similar).

09:21 <Alice> The biggest details I remember, are that it wasn't enough to kill the creatures, but it had a lot of impact.  Anything shot by it would stagger from the impact.

09:21 <Schism> M1911 seems like the best bet were I to look for a standard, reliable firearm.  However, that might not be... oh.  Something in .44.

09:21 <Schism> https://reallifecomics.com/index.php > Alice, this... is almost certain to seem *strikingly* familiar.

09:21 <Alice> Yep.

09:22 <Alice> All that time waiting, but you never see that specialist.

09:23 <Schism> All that time *cooped up and unable to speak with anyone*...

09:24 <Alice> Only a few hours for me, though.  I swear, I could jam a knife in my hand and claim to not see any signs.

09:25 <Alice> And discharge me later that day.  Still bleeding.

09:26 <Schism> Surely they're not quite _that_ okay yes I know they are.

09:26 * ConfusionRift offers a choice. BFR in .500 S&W or Desert Eagle in .50AE. "If one of these don't kill 'em, might wanna switch to a rifle... a big rifle... a recoiless anti-material one."

09:27 <Schism> Come to that, I'll spring for a recoil-less RPG.

09:29 <Schism> Or a lawnmower.  </DeadRising>

09:29 <Alice> The problem being that despite being strapped to a stretcher, with a full written report attached to me, by the time the hospital gets to me, there ius no indication of anything happening.  You know how some people say they never saw any indication that a given person would commit an atrocity, that said person actually did commit?  I'm the person they are talking about.  Just waiting on the right breaking point.

09:30 <Schism> Alice, you're much less likely to snap and kill someone these days.

09:31 <Alice> Yes, but that doesn't change that the people who should be looking for the signs, aren't.  Or are choosing to ignore them.

09:31 <Schism> True.  And most people aren't quite so honest as we are.

09:32 <ConfusionRift> I was thinking on something that would hit the target, and maybe whatever is behind it. Not hit the target and blow everything that's around it. :P Oh well, here you go. (offers one to Schism) I would keep it in a wide open area, or that back blast is gonna learn you something fierce.

09:33 <ConfusionRift> Also, that's just... really?

09:33 <Alice> In all honesty, I would be shocked if I'm not on at least one watch list.

09:34 <ConfusionRift> There are places that would do that, and on purpose. They wouldn't want to deal with the person at all, or they suspect putting the person on watch could make things worse.

09:37 <Alice> Plus, ye know.  How many times do I need to end up at a hospital before they go "gee, maybe we should watch this person"?

09:38 <Alice> Three times.  Discharged the same day I was admitted.  Even let me walk out on my own, no security, doctor or anything.

09:39 <ConfusionRift> The (bleep) is that all about? I have seen this, but it's still crap.

09:42 <ConfusionRift> In P.R., if you're not seen as a priority, they would just let you go. End of story. Or they put you waaaay back.

09:43 <Alice> Essentially, mental health isn't treated as seriously as it should be.  And mental health care is underfunded.  Probably why so many cases slip through the cracks and bad things happen.

09:43 * ConfusionRift nods.

09:49 <Schism> But heaven forfend the RCMP ever be defunded.

09:49 * Schism is slightly angry at this knowledge.

15:30 <ConfusionRift> They changed the company name. It's now Spectrum, which is still a subdivision of Comcast.

15:53 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Terraria 1.4: Journey's End - Underground Desert [Extended]

17:33 <Ali> Not really

17:34 <Schism> It's the one with all the electromagnets.

17:34 <Schism> Ah well, let's just say that it's replaced the Water Temple from OOT as my most hated dungeon of all time.

17:41 <Ali> After doing Rando

17:41 <Ali> The Water Temple in OoT is not as bad as you think it is

17:41 <Schism> I know.  I hate Death Mountain even more.  In every. single. game, somehow.

17:41 <Schism> Gerudo Training Grounds is the worst in rando, of course.

17:42 <Ali> Only cause the game puts an item in toilet and you feel dumb when its just arrows

17:42 <Ali> And GTG WotH

17:45 <Ali> Schism, apperently the worst dungeon is Rando is the Fire Temple

17:45 <Ali> in*

17:45 <Schism> I can see that.  One chest, which contains precisely the item you need.

17:45 <Ali> Deep Fire Deep Fire Deep Fire

17:46 <Schism> It's like trying to find the Cane of Somaria in LTTP.  Either you find it right away, in which case you know you have a cursed seed, or it's in the middle of the Ice Palace.

17:47 <Schism> (Lets you create a block in the middle of wherever.  Doesn't cost much MP, and it's terminally useful for everything, so...)

17:47 <Ali> Well the problem with Fire, is its very god I can't spell it, where its very one direction

17:48 <Ali> The fire temple is a climb up only, very slow, and if you can't get to the point to create the shortcut, then it takes even longer to double dip

17:48 <Ali> Forest suffers this too if the item you need is in the basement

17:48 <Schism> Yerg.  Yeah.

17:49 <Ali> Shadow Temple is another you don't want to double dip

17:49 <Ali> I mean the first two checks are ok

17:49 <Ali> But past that, you get to the boat and most people don't pull the block to make the shortcut

17:49 <Ali> Unless they dipped without ZL

17:52 * Lumindia_ does a heckin' boop on Ali's snoot
