00:00 <Ali> X5 is that god awful one involving the cannon right?
00:00 <Alice> Yes. I didn't think it was god-awful. Just poorly translated.
00:00 <Ali> Well the thing is
00:00 <Ali> That cannon is luck based
00:00 <Alice> I know.
00:00 <Ali> You can fire it asap and it could score a hit
00:01 <Ali> So it skips most of the game
00:01 <Alice> I watched an TAS of it.
00:02 <Alice> As I recall, the end result is largely the same. What makes the difference in the ending is whether or not Zero is awakened. If he is, you get the bad ending, I believe.

00:03 <Ali> I thought it was when you launched Zero at the thing
00:03 <Ali> It could fail and he'd 'die'
00:03 <Ali> I don't remember a lot about X5, as it wasn't the best
00:04 <Alice> Yeah, it is the launch-Zero-at-it that awakens him.
00:05 <Ali> Geebus, 16 minute Tas of x5
00:06 <Alice> Ah here we are.
00:07 <Ali> God, I hated the WARNING thing in X
00:07 <Ali> And they only made it slower the more games they put out with it.
00:07 <Alice> If the cannon fails, and the launch fails, the virus on the Eurasia colony, along with the virus on the planet surface, are enough to awaken him.
00:07 <Alice> Which results in the bad ending.
00:09 <Alice> The canon(heh) was supposed to be that Zero was killed. Presumably, between the events of X5 and MMZ, Zero's body is found and restored.

00:09 <Alice> Or at least, presumably, that was what was MEANT to happen.
00:10 <Ali> Pft, black devil, and the same music as MM1
00:11 <Alice> Because some Capcom exec arsehole decided to go behind Inafune's back and request development of X6 and beyond.
00:11 <Alice> As a result, MMZ's story had to change.
00:12 <Ali> God, being at 'Wily 3' at 6 minutes..
00:16 <Ali> Also the level mechanic, I never understood that in the laster X games
00:17 <Alice> Hmm? Oh, the mechanic where the level changes?
00:20 <Alice> It actually had a logic associated with it, in X6.
00:24 <Ali> Not quite, I mean the boss level
00:25 <Ali> Like in this tas, the bosses are Lvl 96
00:25 <Alice> Oh, that. Yeah. It's kinda funky.
00:26 <Alice> In X5, basically each boss increased the difficulty of other bosses. It was a weird system.
00:26 <Alice> Even had a major bug in X6.
00:26 <Ali> As if X6 wasn't bad enough already
00:26 <Alice> You could obtain Zero's black armor in X6, but you needed to defeat a level 4 Nightmare Zero.
00:27 <Alice> Problem is, to reach level 4, you needed 6000 or so nightmare souls.
00:27 <Alice> Problem? At 3000, the endgame opens up, and you can't fight the Nightmare Zero anymore.
00:28 <Alice> Thus, the only way to obtain it is through a cheat code.
00:29 <Alice> That all said the mechanic I hated the most is the ranking mechanic of the Zero series.
00:30 * Ali nods
00:30 <Alice> In the first game, it just amounted to seeing some extra attacks by the bosses. EX Attacks. Beyond that game though, EX Attacks could be acquired if you got A rank or higher.
00:32 <Alice> Which required either being very weak, or a perfectionist. If you used all the permanent cyber elves, you could only get as high as A rank.
00:32 <Alice> Which basically required a perfect score in every other area of the mission rankings.
00:33 <Alice> So, as fast as possible, kill X number of enemies, and take no damage.
00:34 <Alice> The no damage and fast as possible aren't an issue for me. It's the kill X number of enemies that gets me. Because it slows you down.
00:34 <Alice> It is contradictory to the "As fast as possible" case.
00:35 <Alice> It also didn't help that you couldn't just retry a given mission if you messed up, or go back to it again at a later time to fix the ranking.
00:37 <Alice> They did however, resolve some of the issues in the Zero/ZX collection with respect to that.
00:39 <Alice> Which by the way, I advise the Switch version. Flawless port of all the games.
00:40 <Ali> Eh, I was never a fan of the later Megaman games
00:40 <Ali> Classic is my main feels since I've played that forver
00:40 <Ali> X just feels wonky with the dash
00:40 <Alice> Fair enough. Though, I did enjoy the ZX series more than the X and Zero series, but that may have been due to my bias towards exploration.
00:40 <Ali> And I will not touch battle network
00:40 <Alice> The ZX series took on a more open-world type setup.
00:41 <Alice> There were still distinct levels, but moving around to them felt more like Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, or any 2D metroid game.
00:41 <Ali> Something to look out for if or when you dabble Factorio again, the blueprint things are changed a bit.
00:41 <Alice> As for Battle Network... Eeeehhh.. I didn't mind the first two games, but that was as far as I went.
00:41 <Alice> It didn't really catch my interest much due to the card-game like mechanics. Too much random chance involved.
00:45 <Alice> Truth told, a majority of my fascination with the Zero/ZX series was the art style. Some people might argue it made the characters less "cool" but I found the redesigns to be beautiful in their own way.
00:46 <Alice> I think it was the androgynous traits, mostly. Especially since the one that exhibits it the most, Harpuia, is pretty much my favourite in terms of appearance in the Zero/ZX series. And he appears quite feminine, despite being male.

01:24 <Alice> Basic analysis. Most Reploids in the Zero/ZX series are for all intents and purposes, human in appearance. They may have armor that makes them appear more robotic, if their role was combat or military in nature, or they may even be animalistic if they are Mythos/Mutos reploids. As such, they can generally have any type of human appearance. The distinguishing trait is the ears.
01:25 <Alice> Reploids consistently do not have human ears. They are often plates, domes, or something akin to a large bluetooth headpiece on both sides. Alternatively, they hide this via helmets or headgear.
01:26 <Alice> All characters in the Zero/ZX series apparently lack irises, as well.
01:27 <Alice> This however, may just be an artistic trait.
01:28 <Alice> The conventional design of the eyes is to use a solid-color sclera, usually white, with a dual-colored circle for the iris-eye, with the colors simply being different brightnesses of a given color. So for example, a bright pink outer ring, filled with a darker pink interior.
01:30 <Alice> Otherwise, for the most part, the bodies of the characters are variable, and not gender specific, for the most part. Gender norms don't seem to really exist, either, at least for Zero, X, and the characters borne of X's spirit.
01:33 <Alice> Style of clothing for the Mega Men in particular tends to be a mixture of anything and everything. Heels of any kind, thigh-highs, short jackets/tops(I'm not sure of the official term for the kind of upper wear they're wearing, to be honest), and various bits of armor. For civilians of either type, typical human clothing is valid. Military, depends on human vs reploid. Humans wear more typical body armor. Reploids tend to
01:33 <Alice> be large plating and such.
01:40 <Alice> Hum, I should also review the Gunvolt and DMFD series, as the artist also worked on those games as well.

05:51 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
05:54 <Alice> One of these days, I'm going to figure out why, despite obvious clear and visible symptoms of illness on my body, I do not develop any sort of fever.
05:54 * ConfusionRift lightly huggles Ali.
05:55 * Ali curls into the ConfusionRift
05:58 <ConfusionRift> Fever is not always present when sick, even with... eeerm... C19. Yes, it's the usual sighs of "CODE RED: SOMETHING'S WRONG", but it tends to be viral or bacterial.
05:59 <ConfusionRift> I should point out that if someone's on some sort of medication, it can throw that off as well.
06:00 <Alice> True.
06:01 <Alice> It's just, I get everything else. The aches, the headaches, and the cold-warm chills, and the exhaustion. Just no danged fever anymore.
06:01 <Alice> Seems the fevers are reserved exclusively for situations wherein something is trying to kill me.
06:03 <ConfusionRift> As I said earlier, medications can throw that off. Sometimes, ones body feels that there's no need to go on a full immunity deployment mode, while other times it does so when there really isn't much going on, or when it's really bad that even medication isn't going to cut it.
06:04 <Alice> Part of me wants to sleep. The other part doesn't want to sleep. I feel like I should sleep. But so long as that other part won't let me, I won't. o3o
06:04 * Ali rolls around the ConfusionRift as unicorn can't think of something to do at this moment.
06:04 * ConfusionRift rolls around as well... he's feeling the same.
06:05 <ConfusionRift> Just staring at the silver screen.

06:29 <ConfusionRift> Wouldn't mind going back. Though, hope the schedules are consistent and all.

07:54 <Alice> Just to see how long I can make it last on a single charge, really.

08:03 <Alice> It did look better on him.
08:03 <Alice> Plus, everyone knows those helmets are indestructible, it'd have been good protection for his head.
08:03 * ConfusionRift plays a distorted and unfinished version of the MM7 boss intro.
08:05 <Ali> Is that what it is when he puts the helmet on?
08:07 <ConfusionRift> It's the boss introduction sequence song, but with different instruments and abruptly stopped. :P
08:08 <Ali> Personally I prefered the other one...
08:08 <ConfusionRift> It plays the real thing when he puts his actual helmet.
08:08 <Ali> I know :P
08:09 <Ali> I was just making the joke from the game
08:09 <ConfusionRift> Oh I know. :P
08:09 <Alice> I wonder if Mega Man has like, an internal library of music and capability of listening to it, and the music we hear in the games, is what he's listening to.
08:10 <ConfusionRift> You think those thing where his ears would be are just for listening? :P

20:58 <Ali> You feel the quake from NC?
20:59 <PinkieShy> I didn't feel it at all.
21:00 <PinkieShy> I was fast asleep at the time it happened.
21:00 <PinkieShy> But everybody at the church who was awake at that time said they felt nothing either.

22:07 <Finwe> o3o

22:12 * Finwe snuggles an Ali.
22:13 <Alice> So, sitting on my couch and talking to someone over my headset is a dangerous, dangerous thing to do.
22:14 <Finwe> My name is Gerous, Dan Gerous.
22:14 <Alice> https://youtu.be/f9-bpDJ3ctM
22:14 <Alice> What is... What.
22:15 * Finwe boops Ali with a second wave of SARS-CoV-2 and another lockdown.
22:15 <Finwe> Whenever is this madness going to stop?
22:15 * Ali noo's, no more lockdowns.
22:16 <Finwe> The Spanish flu did four or five waves.
22:17 <Finwe> We have better healthcare, hygiene and whatnot, though, and travel more and…
22:18 <Finwe> Oh well, we shall see.
22:18 <Alice> We had a surge of cases here in Ontario as well. Though, they do seem to be winding down again rather than going up.
22:19 <Finwe> We have a grand total of 7584 infections, of which 131 during the last week. No one is in intensive care because of COVID-19 at the moment, and the death toll is 331.
22:20 <Alice> That said, we are having a new problem here in Canada.
22:20 <Alice> And it's a really friggen ironic problem too.
22:21 <Alice> We got border crossers, illegal and legal, from the US, who are not following quarantine orders in Canada.
22:22 <Alice> Some simply because it is a inconvenience to be quarantined for 14 days. Some because "it's just a hoax."
22:24 <Finwe> An interesting fact: quarantine is named so because it should last for forty days.
22:24 * Lumindia_ thonks
22:24 <Lumindia_> qua- for '4'?
22:25 <Finwe> "Quaranta" is 40 in Italian.
22:25 <Lumindia_> interesting
22:26 <Alice> Different diseases, bacterial, viruses last differing amounts of time, though. And let's be honest, creating a new word for each one would be a pain in the arse.
22:27 <Finwe> 'The word quarantine comes from quarantena, meaning "forty days", used in 14th–15th-century Venetian and designating the period that all ships were required to be isolated before passengers and crew could go ashore during the Black Death plague epidemic; it followed the trentino, or thirty-day isolation period, first imposed in 1347 in the Republic of Ragusa, Dalmatia (modern Dubrovnik in
22:27 <Lumindia_> eventually came to be known as 'isolation for the purposes of containing sickness'?
22:27 <Finwe> Croatia).'
22:30 <Alice> Basically, Lumindia_.
22:31 * Filly_Nightmares chews on Finwe
22:31 * Finwe snuggles a Filly_Nightmares.
22:31 * Filly_Nightmares eee!
22:31 <Alice> Hum.
22:31 <Alice> I wonder how much of that 20GB Intel leak is real. Information suggests it is real, because it came from an insider at the company.
22:32 <Alice> Which is distressing, not because there was an insider, but because some of the documentation details backdoors.
22:32 <Alice> But then, that's nothing new, really.
22:37 <Alice> In other news, I think I found the cause of my breathing issues. I'll be discussing it with my doctor over the week. Problem is, I don't see any way to treat it right now with the lockdown in effect.
22:38 <Alice> Allergies. I forgot to take my allergy medication for three days because I forgot to put it in the pill case. Breathing got excrutiatingly bad. Did mouthwash, no effect. Went downstairs to take cough syrup, when I realized my pill case was missing something. The antihistamines. Took one, and about 15 minutes later, breathing improved.
22:39 <Alice> As for the treatment, it's straightforward. Pay $300 for a serum and get immunotherapy treatment done for dust mites.
22:39 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Them's Fightin' Herds Reveals New Goat Character - Shanty [ http://tinyurl.com/y5a78jjc ]
22:39 <Lumindia_> yeah that would cause problems.
22:40 <Alice> Yeah, and you also see the issue with the lockdown as well.
22:42 <Alice> For me to get the serum, I'd have to go through the full allergy testing process again. I'd need a referral to the allergy clinic, get tested, find out that I'm allergic to dust mites despite two previous tests on file that show I'm allergic to dust mites. Then I'd need to get the serum, which involves a varying number of injections each week, which means going to a pharmacy or clinic or some other place that can do the
22:42 <Alice> injection, which means... *Yammer yammer yammer*
22:43 * Filly_Nightmares lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick lick licks Alice cheekies
22:43 * Alice pets Filly_Nightmares and gives her a hardboiled egg.
22:45 * Filly_Nightmares lickies da egg around!
22:47 * Filly_Nightmares nibbles on Alice because she installed da second processor in her server! o3o
22:47 <Alice> "A Nintendo-Friendly Studio Takes Next Game To X-Box (But Still Likes Nintendo)" ... ... Kotaku, are you platform shaming a gamedev?
22:47 <Alice> How have you made this a thing with that headline?
22:47 <Alice> Gods.
22:50 * Schism melts. "Breaktime for Jen."
22:52 <Alice> Meanwhile, I should go get my daily chores done, and take a shower.
22:54 <Alice> Oh sweet geezus.
22:54 <Alice> 50% backlight on this laptop draws about oh, 5-6 watts.
22:54 <Alice> 5% backlight draws ~200mW.
22:56 <Alice> Let's check maximum brightness. o3o
22:57 * Filly_Nightmares lickies her own nosie
22:57 <Alice> ...
22:58 <Alice> Okay, this can't be right.
22:59 <Alice> At 50%, the power estimate according to PowerTop is ~5W. At 100%, the power estimate is 2.5W.
23:01 <Lumindia_> *think*
23:02 <Alice> Hum, maybe I should run it through a calibration.
23:21 <PinkieShy> aaah :D
23:21 <PinkieShy> found BNA avatars!! <33 I'm in love :D
23:22 <PinkieShy> perfect avatars for me :3
23:24 <PinkieShy> This is the best thing to happen to me today!
