00:06 <Schism> Am I wrong for wishing that would happen to more of these idiots?

00:10 <Ali> I dun't think so Schism
00:10 * Ali nibbles on a Schism ear
00:12 * Schism patpats the Ali, and offers a lemon cranberry bar! Less sour, more sweet.
00:13 <Ali> Well 40k is about to make a big mistake
00:13 <Ali> Giving Space Marines another wound on their models
00:13 <Schism> Oh ffs, don't they have enough wounds already?
00:13 <Ali> Like they weren't painful enough to remove a 1 wound each..
00:13 <Ali> Schism, the most generic mahreens have only 1
00:13 <Ali> Now they're getting 2 wounds total
00:14 <Schism> Oh. So they get doubled HP. Loverly.
00:14 <Ali> Well to make things even worse for everyone else
00:14 *** Quits: _jimm (horse@Pony-fr7.dqo.55.45.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
00:14 <Schism> Are they going to balance other things out to make it so that Spruce Mahreens are easier to hit?
00:14 <Ali> Several mahreen weapons are getting stronger
00:14 <Ali> 'supposedly'
00:14 <Ali> But the HEavy bolter is getting buffed to 2 damage each
00:14 <Ali> Multi melta's are now two shot D6+2 damage weapons
00:15 <Ali> Melee weapons are getting +1 strength and -1 AP
00:15 <Ali> I mean, what the living hell
00:16 * Schism facedesks. "Whatever happened to four Space Marines on an abandoned ship fighting for their lives against Genestealers and other 'nids in an actual, honest fight?"
00:18 <Ali> I know right
00:18 <Ali> And ever since shock assault, marines are busted to hell and back
00:18 <Ali> My tyranid warriors are 25 points for a 3 wound strength 4 guy with 3 attacks and a crappy 4+ save
00:19 <Ali> Mahreens are going to be 18 points, 2 wounds, 2 attacks with SA, add one for the stupid sword, multitutes of auras and a 3+ save
00:19 <Ali> I don't quite see the fairness in this
00:20 <Ali> Though the recent Nids books were written by the guy who hates the everloving crap out of Nids
00:21 <Schism> Shall we just go back to 3rd edition?
00:23 <Ali> I wish, the 3rd edition book was lots of fun, cept for the guns. Nid guns in 3rd sucked horridly

01:12 <Stormspark> Epic vs Apple...that is like seeing my two worst enemies get in a fight to the death. I'm not going to root for either one of them, and can only hope they take each other out
01:12 <Stormspark> I've had Apple on boycott since 1989, and Epic is not allowed on my network at all. Noone on my network is allowed to connect to any of their sites, use their store, or play Fortnite
01:12 <Stormspark> I block it all at my router
01:12 <Stormspark> that's the rules while I'm paying for the internet, if someone wants to do that they'll have to get their own internet
01:13 <Stormspark> that said, my current roommates both despise Epic so it's mostly a symbolic gesture for now
01:13 <Stormspark> all of Epic's domains are blocked at my firewall, and also blackhole'd on the DNS side just to be sure
01:13 <Schism> That works. o3o Not a cent of my money will ever go towards Tim Sweeney at this point. As much as I might have liked Unreal Tournament back in the day... no.
01:14 <Ali> He run epic I guess Schism?
01:14 <Stormspark> yeah
01:14 <Stormspark> any developer or publisher that does Epic exclusives is also permanently boycotted
01:14 <Stormspark> evn indies
01:16 <Stormspark> it honestly probably won't be very long before I get anything from anyone but Nintendo and the indie devs who don't take epic exclusivity
01:16 <Schism> I'm glad that Squeenix has enough pull that they can say "Nope, piss right off" to distributors like Epic.
01:16 <Stormspark> that's in addition to me also boycotting Take Two, Gearbox, EA, and Activision Blizzard. Nothing they develop or publish is allowed on my systems
01:17 <Stormspark> I've passed on a few good games, but I don't care, morals are more important
01:17 <Schism> Sheesh, ActiBlizz.
01:17 <Stormspark> passed on RDR2 because it was published by Take Two
01:17 <Stormspark> yeah Activision Blizzard is the worst company in the industry now...as bad as Epic just for (slightly) different reasons
01:17 <Ali> I stared at Wow for a bit
01:17 <Ali> I miss it, but its not worth dumping money into that PoS company
01:17 <Stormspark> I nuked every Blizzard product off of every device I own in Nov 2018
01:17 <Stormspark> I saw all this coming then
01:18 <Stormspark> I won't say I miss WOW...I have nostalgia from when it was a good game
01:18 <Stormspark> at some point I may fire up Mangos and make a private server on my Linux server again
01:18 <Stormspark> "Don't you guys have phones" was the last straw for me...not doing business with a company that treats its customers like that
01:18 <Stormspark> but everything they did since then vindicated my decision, they've vindicated it 10x over now
01:19 <Stormspark> Blitzchung, Warcraft 3 Refunded, all the stupid Chinese shit
01:19 <Stormspark> they should just move their HQ and Blizzcon to Beijing and be done with it
01:19 <Schism> Just a note, Stormspark, so you know: there are two different TenCent publishers.
01:19 <Stormspark> hmm
01:20 <Schism> There's the Chinese one, and then there's the one who owns Funcom.
01:20 <Schism> Er... hm.
01:20 <Schism> I may have gotten that mixed up.
01:20 <Schism> Tencent China does hold FunCom. My mistake.
01:20 <Stormspark> I loooked it up
01:20 <Stormspark> same owner yeah
01:21 <Stormspark> "Funcom" is the most non-descriptive name ever, they've never made anything fun lol
01:21 <Schism> I dunno, I had fun with Anarchy Online once they patched it up.
01:21 <Schism> And The Secret World was great right up until they said, "Welp, let's nuke the original game and release a FTP paystravaganza."
01:21 <Stormspark> that said, any developer or publisher that bows down to Chinese censorship (outside of China, I don't care what they do with shit that's published in China) - boycott
01:22 <Stormspark> I still remember Ubisoft bitching that westerners wouldn't just roll over and accept Chinese censorship so they could "only make one version of the game"
01:22 <Stormspark> the last Ubisoft game I bought was Starlink, on the Switch
01:23 <Schism> Didn't stop ID, back in the day, from making multiple versions of Wolfenstein 3D. Or Nintendo of America from implementing censorship over here.
01:23 <Stormspark> I haven't had to boycott them yet because they don't make good games, they make garbage for the most part
01:23 <Stormspark> amusingly Nintendo is the company with the *least* censorship now
01:23 <Schism> Speaking of bad games, I'm tempted to *cough* pick up Azure Dreams, just because it looks like a really good Mystery Dungeon game.
01:23 <Schism> But anything produced today by Konami...
01:24 <Stormspark> I still remember that one guy in the hearings that led to the ESRB "Night Trap will NEVER be on a Nintendo console"...you don't say
01:24 <Stormspark> https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/night-trap-25th-anniversary-edition-switch/
01:24 <Stormspark> Konami hasn't made a game in years
01:24 <Schism> Heehee.
01:24 <Stormspark> MGS5 was their last
01:24 <Schism> Sure they have! They make those games where you drop a ball into the top of a machine and watch it fall. Doesn't that count?
01:24 <Stormspark> Castlevania is dead, it only lives on in Bloodstained
01:24 <Stormspark> the last Castlevania game was in like 2008 lol
01:25 * Ali wavies the RIP Goemon flag
01:25 <Stormspark> I think Death Stranding only got the mixed reaction it did was because everyone was hoping Kojima would immediately make a Metal Gear spiritual successor, with similar mechanics, instead of something totally different
01:25 <Stormspark> but Kojima tried to end MG like 4 times before he ever even got the idea to leave Konami, he's not going to do that again
01:26 <Stormspark> he actually wanted 2 to be the ending, only did 3 under duress (basically), then 4 was the definite final ending, then 5
01:26 <Ali> People don't like it when a milk machine is supposed to 'end'
01:26 <Ali> So they'll revamp it or reboot it
01:26 <Ali> Sometimes to dismal results
01:27 <Schism> I've heard that Bethesda won't be releasing Skyrim for next-generahahahaha can't keep a straight face.
01:27 <Ali> Skyrim, *yay* you edition
01:28 <Stormspark> I'm not going to be getting a "next gen" console, my PC is already more powerful than they will be
01:28 <Ali> Owned it on 20 systems? Well GET IT AGAIN!!
01:28 <Stormspark> Switch is my only console going fowrard
01:28 <Ali> Even Switch for me has a problem with game titles now
01:28 <Stormspark> well my only current console, I do have some older stuff. Gamecube and Wii U right now (plus all the Nintendo portables)
01:28 <Ali> With them gimping Mario Kart to just be the Wii U version
01:28 <Stormspark> I can only use systems that support HDMI, my setup does not support analog audio or video at all
01:28 <Stormspark> how did they gimp Mario Kart?
01:29 <Ali> It wasn't Mario Kart 9
01:29 <Stormspark> ohh
01:29 <Stormspark> to be fair MK8 Deluxe is more of a director's cut/almost remaster
01:29 <Stormspark> it added quite a bit
01:29 <Stormspark> and I never had the Wii U version anyway
01:29 <Ali> Still there should be a 9
01:29 <Ali> But I doubt they'll make 9 for the Switch due to the once per system rule
01:29 <Stormspark> I'm not against there being a 9...but what would it add that's not in 8?
01:29 <Ali> New tracks at least
01:30 <Stormspark> 8 is almost the ultimate Mario Kart
01:30 <Stormspark> there will be a Switch Pro or Switch 2 or something...Nintendo has said the hybrid concept is the future basically
01:30 <Ali> My gripe is they need to undo the nerf to Rainbow Road 64
01:30 <Stormspark> as long as they keep the new ones back compatible I'm good
01:30 <Ali> One lap is a joke
01:32 <Stormspark> 8 is actually my first MK game
01:32 <Stormspark> maybe that's why none of that bothered me
01:32 <Ali> MK 64 was mine
01:32 <Stormspark> I have since played it, but I can't go back to the old ones after 8
01:33 <Stormspark> antigravity just makes it too much fun
01:34 <Stormspark> I did get a rom of Mario Kart Wii though
01:34 <Stormspark> because I absolutely need to do this
01:34 <Stormspark> !link https://youtu.be/_ZvQ71aK_5I
01:34 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
01:34 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Mario Kart Wii - 150cc Piranha Plant Cup Grand Prix (Rainbow Dash Gameplay)
01:35 <Stormspark> I have the files for it, I just have to figure out a way to make it work on the real Wii
01:35 <Stormspark> I think I can with Riivolution
01:36 <Stormspark> right now I can only do it with Dolphin
01:38 <Ali> I'm wondering if all the fortnight babies are crying they can't play fortnite on their phone right now.
01:38 <Schism> You know, I really have to wonder.
01:38 <Schism> Why would anyone play Fortnite on their phone?
01:38 <Ali> Cause people are stupid
01:38 <Stormspark> why would anyone play any game on their phone?
01:39 <Stormspark> phones are not for gaming
01:39 <Ali> I mean did you see all the kiddie rage when Fortnite did that black hole like thing?
01:39 <Stormspark> they are not in any way suitable for any kind of games other than maybe clicker and idle gamse
01:39 <Ali> Went offline for ONE day and people lost their shit
01:40 <Stormspark> lol
01:40 <Stormspark> Fortnite isn't a game either, it's a store with a skinner box attached
01:40 <Ali> Just like how NBA 2k20 is a gambling sim with basketball minigames inside
01:41 <Stormspark> I use 4 apps on my phone regularly. Discord, Firefox, the movie player, and the music player. That's IT
01:41 <Stormspark> The best review I saw of that: "Hey, who put this shitty basketball minigame in my casino?"
01:42 <Schism> Stormspark, there are a few games I would play on my phone. I have an NES emulator, for one thing. Also, games like NightSky, which can be manipulated with a tilt -- that works well.
01:43 <Stormspark> I don't use a touch screen for games...I did get the AM2R Android port just for shits and giggles but I would need to pair a controller to play it
01:44 <Ali> I love how Stadia tried to brag about having a system that could play on a phone
01:44 <Ali> But I think Stadia is about as good as dead as it can be.
01:44 <Stormspark> but anyway, cellphone hardware sucks for gaming. It doesn't have the cooling required
01:44 <Stormspark> Stadia isn't a gaming platform anyway, it's just watching videos of games, and the whole thing is a scam. It's a rental service pretending to be a gaming platform
01:44 <Schism> (Admittedly, another game I would play on my phone is Scrabble. >.>)
01:45 <Ali> Words With Friends* There I fixed it Schism
01:45 <Stormspark> if you open a Switch, it's built more like a laptop, it has active cooling
01:45 <Schism> Ali: Psh, it's a knockoff of even that, so I'll just call it Scrabble because nobody's ever heard of the app I play.
01:46 <Ali> I'm just sayin
01:46 <Ali> Also when I worked in retail
01:46 <Ali> They sold Words with Friends right next to Scrabble
01:46 <Ali> But what I found even more hillarious
01:47 <Ali> Guess who had the rights to Words?
01:47 <Stormspark> that IS scrabble isn't it?
01:47 <Ali> It was that big mobile version of Scrabble
01:47 <Ali> But not Scrabble cause copyright
01:47 <Ali> But what was funny
01:47 <Stormspark> Not Scrabble (tm)
01:47 <Ali> is the board game was made by Hasbro
01:48 <Ali> WHO also has the rights to Scrabble
01:48 <Stormspark> lol
01:48 <Schism> Of course... X3
01:48 <Stormspark> I don't particularly like Hasbro
01:48 <Ali> So they didn't care it was a knockoff of their own game, they just took the rights to it and make a dupe to Scabble and profitted off the people that fell for the trap
01:55 <Schism> From a corporate standpoint, that's practically the most ethical thing ever.
01:55 * Filly_Nightmares chews Ali
02:01 <Ali> I mean Schism I don't blame them
02:01 <Ali> Why not scoop up the rights to a successful mobile game that's basically the same game you already make
02:01 <Ali> Just slap the other coat of paint on it and watch it fly off the shelves
02:02 <Ali> Once the other goes away, back to Scrabble

03:51 <Ali> If you call almost midnight early
03:52 <Alice> I went to sleep at around 5 PM.
03:52 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-c37bqa.dynamic.sonic.net)
03:52 <Alice> So I got approximately 6-7 hours sleep. I need at least 8.
03:59 <Alice> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM70xBk0Nlg I feel like I've seen this game before.
03:59 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
03:59 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about NES Longplay [146] Magical Doropie
04:06 <Ali> There is this one NES game
04:06 <Ali> I do not remember the name of it to save my life though
04:06 <Ali> I think it had dino's stoming around on the screen
04:06 <Ali> But I'm not sure, I'm so sketchy on it and won't remember it unless I see it.
04:06 <Alice> https://www.reddit.com/r/instant_regret/comments/i9bkcs/cat_and_a_balloon_what_could_go_wrong/
04:10 <Schism> Alice, I repeat, because it's cute. https://i.imgur.com/ewAth46.mp4
04:10 <Alice> Regarding the video, the reason "I feel like I've seen this game before" is it's basically a clone of Mega Man.
04:10 <Alice> Also..
04:10 <Alice> Schism, you're somewhat more of an art buff than I am.
04:10 <Schism> In some small ways.
04:11 <Alice> Andy Worhol. Did he ever do anything with cans that changed appearance over time?
04:11 <Schism> I don't think he ever did kinetic art or the like.
04:11 <Alice> Because those soup cans from the other day, the ones I couldn't identify?
04:11 <Schism> He did the thing with multiple cans, though.
04:11 <Alice> Mysteriously, labeling identifying the soup has appeared on the cans.
04:12 <Alice> I am 100% positive it wasn't there before. Because I even had my parents look at the cans prior to the labeling appearing, and they could find no indication as to what it was.
04:13 <Schism> Huh. The 32 soup cans -- they did have labels on them in the original artwork. However, if you refer to the pop colour ones, that was a later adjustment...
04:13 <Schism> ...wait, what.
04:13 * Schism looks at Alice. "Is there a Gigalomanic near you or something?
04:13 <Alice> I have no idea what that is.
04:15 <Schism> Heh, you should watch Chaos;Head. But some sort of weird illusions or delusions...
04:16 <Alice> Ah.]
04:16 <Alice> Yeah, I dunno. This makes no sense.
04:16 <Schism> For example, I could swear I'd never bought a second pack of tarot cards at any point, but there are two sitting on the table beside me.
04:16 <Alice> I swear these cans did not have this writing before.
04:17 <Alice> And given that neither of my parents could see it at the time I initially found the cans..
04:17 <Schism> Reality's gaslighting us. Why can't it ever do so in a beneficial way?
04:17 <Alice> Either me and my family are conditionally colorblind, or... I dunno.
04:18 <Alice> The problem is that it could have been a poor lighting situation, but I doubt it.
04:18 <Alice> The can's comprised primarily of two colors that are extremely close to one another.
04:18 <Alice> And the text is in one of the two colors.]
04:19 <Alice> So the end-result is that it's really hard to read the text, but not impossible. Nor is it possible to miss it.
04:19 <Alice> Even though the two colors are similar and make the text hard to read, the text still stands out as distinct on the different background color.
04:19 *** Quits: coppertiger (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net) (Connection closed)
04:19 <Alice> Far away, up close, I can see the text. I KNOW this wasn't there the other day.
04:20 <Alice> It's the weirdest damned thing.
04:22 <Alice> The interesting thing though is that this is not the first time something like this has happened to me.

04:23 <Schism> Tripping into alternate universes...
04:23 <Alice> One night, me and my dad were watching a TV show, which went on to describe color blindness of varying types. They showed a typical color blindness test, and both me and my dad saw different things. He saw the expected image of someone who wasn't color blind, while I saw the image that indicated I was color blind.
04:25 <Alice> Thing is, I've gone through other color blindness tests online, with no results indicating anything of the sort.
04:25 <Alice> I wonder if there's a glitch in my brain that triggers under certain conditions.
04:25 <Alice> If there was, the most likely cause would be the migraines.
04:26 <Alice> The fact the propranolol works means that the headaches are, in fact, standard migraines. It's meant to reduce the frequency of them, along with their side effects.
04:27 <Alice> And migraines can becaused by any number of things, up to and including problems in the brain directly.
04:29 * Ali snugs into Schism, doesn't want to be alone tonight.
04:29 * Schism frowns at Alice. Also, snugs the Ali.
04:32 <Alice> I took the propranolol today. I'm just going to have to learn to fight it off. Or, at least keep taking it until the 18th, when I see the neurologist again.

04:48 * Ali nuzzles the filly softly.
04:49 <PrincessRainbows> Tired, yes tho
04:52 * PrincessRainbows nuzzles Ali anyway
04:55 <Alice> Hum, way I look at it Schism, I could arguably be lucky, if it is just a brain thing causing my migraines.
04:56 <Alice> Aneurysms can have a genetic cause. My uncle on my mother's side died of an aneurysm. I could have developed one through genetics, and lived a short life..
04:56 <Alice> Instead I get to live, and just have to deal with migraines which can be mitigated.
04:58 * Schism nods. ._. "That is luckier, yes..."
05:00 <Alice> ... Hmm. Get a wired/wireless mouse here, and I could easily play Factorio while laying down in bed.
05:00 * Ali flops over Schism, had to send her glasses back to get reworked...
05:01 <Ali> I believe 1.0 comes out soonish
05:03 <Alice> Today is the official release date for it.
05:04 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony.
05:05 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Alice, Filly_Nightmares, PrincessRainbows and Schism.
05:05 * Finwe doffs his hat.
05:05 <Alice> Mornin'
05:06 <Finwe> I guess there's no other option than to make a quick dash to the health centre and back.
05:06 <Finwe> I'm fresh out of BGC sensors.
05:07 * PrincessRainbows also looks up at Finwe and grabby hooves
05:07 <Ali> Yeah I know, but starting on .18 and then needing to flop to 1.0 might be a bit annoying and might break things.
05:07 <Finwe> The ones I ordered have arrived, and I'm leaving for a friend's summer cabin in an hour.
05:07 * Finwe snuggles a PrincessRainbows.
05:07 <Alice> Hope you've been calibrating them for use.
05:08 <Alice> Which basically entails taking multiple readings over time with the sensor, and a standard prick meter to determine any offsets.

05:11 *** Joins: alissq (alissq@tor.sasl.alissq)
05:26 <Ali> My pondering with Factorio MP is I would like more resource piles, but not super dense
05:26 <coppertiger> How are things going everypony?
05:26 <Ali> Cause its annoying having to mass expand one side just to find a small 3M deposit
05:26 <Alice> Good.
05:27 <Alice> Ali: I could allways implement a mod to make resources more like Satisfactory to make things interesting. :P
05:29 <Ali> What I mean more is I don't want to expand out 20+ chunks away just for a little bit of something
05:29 <Ali> Like having to have 250+ walled off chunks to keep a safe space
05:30 <Ali> I might be undercutting the number a bit
05:30 <Ali> But eh, its been awhile since MP
05:31 <Ali> I do want to play a more defensive style, but doing it alone sometimes overwhelms my brain X.x
05:35 <Alice> Besides just providing non-overlapping patches and better resource gen overall, RSO can also be configured to increase the density of patches.
05:35 <Alice> Thus, I could make smaller patches in a smaller area, or larger patches in a smaller area, etc.
05:36 <Ali> I had a plan to make a specific belt for ammo and coal to feed the turrets and keep them from needing power
05:36 <Ali> And building a wall with turrets fed by coal inserters
05:36 <Ali> Thus the inserters won't die to brownouts and can keep the defense going

07:42 <Alice> Yo.
07:42 * Ali flops over the ConfusionRift
07:42 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.
07:44 * Alice decides to take a break from coding and work on PC.
07:44 <Alice> Also need to find a lengthy ethernet cable for my server.
07:45 <Alice> Also need to investigate setting up Wake-on-LAN so I can disable even more LEDs on the damned thing.
07:45 <Alice> That, or just tape over the power button LED.
07:46 <Alice> Also need to see about updating my PC's BIOS. There's a bug in it, which I'm hoping is fixed with a newer release.
07:46 <Alice> Apparently, opening up the BIOS destroys the boot records.
07:46 <ConfusionRift> Blarg.
07:46 <Alice> Which causes it to boot the first EFI executable it finds on the EFI partition.
07:47 <Alice> Which is usually the Windows EFI executable.
07:47 <Alice> As a result, if I have any other bootloaders installed, they won't work.
07:48 <Ali> Strange
07:48 <Alice> It's clearly a bug.
07:53 <Alice> If it were a malicious attempt by say, Microsoft, to encourage only Windows be bootable, then the boot list would still show the Windows bootloader afterwards. All bootloaders registered with the UEFI simply become unregistered, disappear.
07:54 <Alice> It just picks the first executable it finds. If I configured the EFI partition layout correctly, I could get it to automatically boot the first EFI executable it finds of my choice.
07:55 <Alice> Assuming it doesn't go through an internal list of possible executable paths, in which case I can still manipulate it. I just need to replace the relevant executable file in the list with one of my own design.
07:55 <Ali> I don't think you've seen the new Miners yet?
07:55 <Alice> The only time that won't work is when Secure Boot is enabled, and... well.. That's broken as ****.
07:55 <Alice> I have.
07:56 <Ali> It takes awhile to get used to their new looks
07:56 <Ali> Also they're adding new pollution effects
07:56 <Alice> I noticed about the pollution stuff.
07:56 <Alice> As for the miners, eeehhh... Not really? I mean, they're miners. I know they're miners. Long as they do what they're designed to do, their appearance doesn't matter.
07:57 <Ali> Yeah understandable
07:57 <Alice> I may not have been playing, but I have been paying attention to the FFFs.
07:57 <Ali> The new beacons look ok, they don't look as silly
07:58 <Ali> I don't think Factorio changes enough now to vastly change between versions
07:59 * Angie taps Ali on the nose.
08:00 * Ali squeaks at Angie
08:00 <Alice> There are concerns regarding mods going from 0.18 to 1.0, which means there may be some significant changes. But yes, overall it doesn't sound like going to 1.0 is going to be that big of a deal/
08:00 <Ali> It was what, version .16 that changed the most?
08:01 <Ali> I mean they aren't gonna have groudbreaking changes to like the bottle costs and the like

08:36 <PrincessRainbows> The insomnia has been real
08:37 <PrincessRainbows> Like I've been awake like 30h by now
08:37 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Gonna guess someone lost a jewel due to mishandling?
08:38 <Schism> Oh, no. No, it's much better than that.
08:38 <ConfusionRift> Ohboy...
08:38 <Schism> Someone lost a jewel due to intentionally sticking a loaded gun against their genitalia while taking video of it with their phone.
08:39 <PrincessRainbows> Anyway I don't want to find out when I'll finally collapse so ciao
08:39 <Schism> Loaded gun, no safety, no trigger discipline, because those are for wimps.
08:40 <Alice> ...
08:40 <Alice> It's like a person looking down the barrel of a gun to see if it's loaded.
08:40 <Ali> Does this mean they're hopefully out of the genepool?
08:41 <Alice> Unfortunately, no.
08:41 <Schism> Evidently he's alright.
08:41 <Alice> They'd need to destroy both gonads.
08:41 <Ali> Give them time, if they took one out, the other shouldn't be far behind
08:44 <Alice> Normally, I'd argue that this is one of those things "people learn from" but even taking into consideration they almost lost the thing that makes them feel most manly and powerful, I can't see them learning from this.
08:44 <Ali> They're probably like HAHAHAHA lets do it again
08:45 <Ali> or if I get 200 likes on this vid, I'll shoot off the other one
08:46 <ConfusionRift> Oh... great... a snake tagging situations.
08:46 <Alice> Schism, it's not just me, right? Ever since my realization, I've come to become aware of the many ways in which men can, and will be stupid, to the point that I actually have a mild dislike for men who show off those particular traits, now.
08:46 <Schism> Trust me, it's not the testosterone. My cousin's one of the most grounded men I know of.
08:46 <Schism> Stupid culture.
08:47 <Alice> Oh, I know.
08:47 <ConfusionRift> Also, this kinda of mishandling happens more often than it should. It's that "carry loose on your junk" thing that stupid rappers and gangers made popular.
08:48 <Alice> It's not something driven by testosterone, but it does fuel it. Makes those who partake in activities that, when not performed carefully, can be dangerous.
08:48 <Alice> Or just annoying.
08:49 <Alice> Like, just the concept of men doing X, Y or Z, because "that's what REAL MEN(TM) do!"
08:49 <Alice> Even if it's rude, crude, disrespectful, racist, sexist, or harmful.
08:50 <Alice> Come to realize that behaviour is a part of why I don't go to my university's CCSS room anymore. Alongside it just being too loud.
08:51 <Alice> "Oh look, that individual has NSFW stuff on their laptop screen. Which is... facing... the hallway... through the wide-open..."
08:51 <Alice> Or crude remarks towards women who show up. Or the penis drawings all over the whiteboard..
08:52 <ConfusionRift> Or the screaming on the halls.
08:52 <Ali> Cause penis jokes are funny
08:52 <Alice> Oh don't even get me started about the loudness.
08:52 <Ali> I watch a lot of tornado chases
08:52 <Alice> There's a room next door used exclusively for CS teaching assistance to assist students.
08:52 <Ali> You will not believe how close these idiots try to get to these things
08:52 <ConfusionRift> Or the let's do stupid things to people because if its a joke it's allowed.
08:52 <Alice> The wall is soundproofed.
08:52 <Alice> Somehow, the students are so FREAKING LOUD that it makes it's way through the walls anyways.
08:52 <Alice> And yes, down the halls too.
08:53 <Alice> Professors have shown up at the room asking the students to quiet down or they'll report the CCSS to the dean, etc.
08:53 <Alice> Absolutely no enforcement of any of the rules for the room, either.
08:53 <Ali> Of course not
08:54 <Alice> You could literally be smoking weed in there despite the campus being a weed-free zone, etc.
08:54 <Alice> And you wouldn't get reported.
08:54 <ConfusionRift> Or stealing. Or acting like an *** towards others, especially older people. Or... I just noticed that the new generation is just regressing.
08:55 <Alice> Such is the nature of encouraging a "boys will be boys" mindset.
08:55 <Alice> Mind you, the women aren't saints, either. Some of them can be... yeah,
08:55 <ConfusionRift> Not even. And those who do are just as guilty for all the stupid things they do.
08:55 <ConfusionRift> Women can be just as bad. They're, unfortunately, emulating the same acts.
08:56 <Alice> I'd prefer not to have to avoid it, as it's usually centralized to most of my classes, but..
08:56 <Alice> Going there is a bad idea.
08:57 <Alice> I understand now why some of my profs would call out certain kinds of students in my class.
08:58 <Ali> I love this vid, chasers keep getting within like 50 to 25 feet of a live tornado for the BEST SHOTS EVER
08:58 <Ali> I'm waiting for one to just get sucked in and tossed 100+ yards for their stupidity
08:59 <Alice> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OHD4apQUuQ
08:59 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
08:59 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Chameleons eating with Yoshi sounds
08:59 <ConfusionRift> Are they "professional" chasers, or just idiots following tornadoes? I know they can be mistaken as the same, but one at least has some safety in mind.
09:00 <ConfusionRift> That be a lot of chameleons. :P
09:00 <Ali> I don't know ConfusionRift, its youtube
09:01 <Alice> So, with respect to MH, I know Chameleos, which is based on a chameleon of some sort, has a long, sticky tongue. I thought maybe they combined a chameleon and a frog. I was unware, up until that video, that chameleons actually have extendable, sticky tongues.
09:01 <ConfusionRift> You didn't know? o_0
09:02 <Alice> I've never seen a live chameleon before.
09:02 <Alice> Especially one eating.
09:03 <ConfusionRift> The launch their tongues to their prey. They aren't fast, and rely on their camouflage to fool their prey into thinking they aren't there. They often "ambush" their prey from a distance, to not give away their position.
09:03 <Alice> The region in which I live is a mix of forest and swamp. You don't see chameleons here. You don't really see much of anything in the way of small critters.
09:04 <Alice> Mostly, you see squirrels, chipmunks, birds of various types, deer, and moose.
09:04 <ConfusionRift> There aren't any in here either. They're mostly tropical, where coloration is important.
09:07 <Alice> Oh, and the rare raccoon.
09:08 <Alice> Might see beavers over in the swampy areas.
09:09 <Alice> My dad's awake, I think. I see the TV on in his room, anyways.
09:09 <Alice> And I'll be honest, I want to do something mean.
09:09 <Alice> Open the door and go "GET TO SLEEP!" aggressively.
09:10 <Alice> Like my parents tried to do with me when I was in my teens, before they just gave up.
09:10 <ConfusionRift> What we mostly get is birds, at least in here, with all the noise and heat. They like to make nests of mud, and LOVE to porch near windows. There's on over our door. An eyesore, but harmless.
09:11 <Alice> The tree outside my window has a nest for a single squirrel. Tree next to it though appears to have a nest for an entire family of squirrels.
09:12 *** Joins: alissq (alissq@tor.sasl.alissq)
09:12 <Alice> We also have a woodpecker nesting in one of the window frames on the outside of the house. You can hear it trying to expand the space every now and then.
09:12 <ConfusionRift> Very rarely, I spot a mantis, and sand lizards.
09:13 <Alice> https://www.psypost.org/2020/08/psychedelic-drugs-reduce-depressive-symptoms-by-helping-individuals-to-accept-of-their-emotions-study-suggests-57654 ... One of these days, a psychiatrist is going to hand me some shrooms and go "Here, try this."
09:14 <Alice> I've seen the occasional rabbit. Apparently we do get snakes as well, but they're grass snakes, and blend in really well, so I probably walked by many of them and never noticed.
09:14 <Alice> One of the more interesting animal spottings here was with respect to a person living in Toronto.
09:15 <Alice> They posted a picture of an animal they spotted in Toronto, asking what the hell it was.
09:15 <Alice> It was a groundhog.
09:15 <Alice> They're everywhere in Ottawa.
09:15 <Alice> Especially in the open fields of a cloverleaf junction along a highway, for some reason.
09:15 <Alice> Or along what peices of the transitway that still exist, or along the rail lines.
09:16 <Alice> Some around campus, too. Tame enough you can walk up to them and they don't freak.
09:19 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah. Also got rattlesnakes by the desert area.
09:19 * Alice looks at /r/politics for two minutes. "We're doing this again?"
09:20 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, I did mention that one before. With a friend asking what it was.
09:21 <ConfusionRift> Alice: What do you expect from there? It's all on repeat, or just meh.
09:21 <Alice> In this case, it's a certain politician calling into question the legitimacy of another politician's ability to run for a political position like VP.
09:23 <Alice> Birther conspiracy, again. Parents of VP candidate, according to said politician, may not have been US citizens when the candidate was born.
09:27 <ConfusionRift> Blarg.

10:38 <Alice> Okay, so 1.0 is out. And it apparently adds something of interest.
10:38 <Schism> Oh?
10:39 <Alice> The Spidertron.
10:39 <Alice> It's a remote-controlled device used for... well, destruction.
10:40 <Alice> It's researched very far into the late game.
10:41 <Schism> Iiinteresting looking bot.
10:41 <Alice> https://wiki.factorio.com/Spidertron
10:41 <Alice> That's quickly gonna be changed, no offense meant to the devs.
10:41 <Alice> But people are going to request it be changed.
10:42 <Alice> That said, Ali will love it. It's designed for rocketry
10:46 <Alice> Let's take a looksee at it..
10:48 <Alice> ...
10:48 <Alice> Moves quite fast even at base config.
10:50 <Alice> And with remote control, no risk of damage.
10:52 <Alice> Sweet merciful crap.
10:56 <Alice> Not including any space infinite techs, this thing can hold it's own against large bases at 1.000 evolution factor.
10:56 <Alice> Using explosive rockets.
10:56 <Alice> It basically fires them rapidly, like, 5-10 a second.
10:56 <Alice> And they seek enemies.
10:57 <ConfusionRift> It can also launch "nukes".
10:57 <Alice> More or less.
10:57 <ConfusionRift> ...
10:58 <ConfusionRift> This is very late game anyways.
10:58 <Alice> Yep.
10:58 <Alice> Very late.
10:58 <Alice> It's basically the end-game tank.
10:58 <ConfusionRift> Also... changed?
10:59 <Alice> Hmm?
10:59 <Alice> Word of wisdom: Do NOT load it with nukes.
10:59 <Alice> I mean, it can fire them?
10:59 <Alice> But you don't want it to.
11:00 <ConfusionRift> Nukes are problematic anyways. Not to mention that would be both overkill and will likely kill me while destroying the Spidertron.
11:00 <Alice> Also, it can reach across gaps in the landscape across rivers.
11:00 <Alice> Oh, yeah.
11:00 <Alice> That's what happens.
11:01 <Alice> The Spidertron, especially when remotely controlled, will fire them rapidly.
11:01 <Alice> Also, the reason I suggest it'll be changed rapidly is the spider nature.
11:01 <Alice> Arachnophobia and all that.
11:01 <Alice> And, nevermind all the other kinds of phobias that devs aggravate, people with Arachnophobia for reasons unknown get special treatment.
11:02 <ConfusionRift> ...eerm... I don't really see why. I get your point, but if they're gonna request a major change just for that, I don't really see the point.
11:02 <Alice> Welcome to the world of arachnophobes.
11:02 <Alice> They will destroy you if you don't appease them.
11:03 <Alice> It is, to many of them, practically on the level of a criminal offense to include spiders in games.
11:03 <ConfusionRift> It's called Spidertron for a reason, not Cuddly Fluffy Huggle Bug A Tron.
11:03 <Alice> Yeah.
11:03 * ConfusionRift sighs.
11:04 <Alice> But the problem is that the arachnophobes will be upset because of it, because they won't be able to play the game or look at the Spidertron.
11:04 <Alice> Entitled little pricks.
11:04 <Alice> I'm afraid of bees, and I don't request every super-sized bee in various games be removed.
11:04 <ConfusionRift> You don't have to make it! Besides, it's gonna be a pain to make anyways.
11:05 <ConfusionRift> And I'm afraid of heights.
11:05 * Alice shrugs.
11:05 <ConfusionRift> Should I whine and subject criminal charges on... like... 99% of games?!
11:05 <Alice> And yet, that's what happens.
11:05 <Alice> To the point that it's actually news when an "arachnophobia slider" appears in a game.
11:06 <ConfusionRift> By the way, I'm not mad at you. It's just... so many games got ruined by this garbage.
11:06 <Alice> And this is an ACTUAL THING that has appeared.
11:06 <Alice> It was in gaming news recently, being praised.
11:06 <Alice> What it does is change how many spider-like attributes there are on spider enemies.
11:06 <Alice> Thus, number of legs, whether it has a head, etc, etc, etc.
11:07 <Alice> I can think of better uses of the time impelementing a feature like that. Like accessibility for hard of hearing or deaf people, 'cause gods knows games need work there.
11:07 <ConfusionRift> That is a lot of work to appease one type of clientele.
11:08 <Alice> I'm not upset at arachnophobes as a whole. I'm upset with the ones who explicitly request features like this.
11:08 <Alice> They're a bunch of self-centered, aggravating little snokeflakes.
11:08 <Alice> slowflakes*
11:10 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2023 [ http://tinyurl.com/y2vvex7r ]
11:10 <Alice> And it's problematic too, because in any game that includes spiders, with the ability to mod, it is consistently one of the top topics on the relevant forums.
11:10 <Alice> Either remote the spiders, or request a mod to remove the spiders.
11:11 <Alice> You could make a game entirely centered and focused on spiders, and people would demand the spiders be removed.
11:11 <ConfusionRift> Assistance for the hearing impaired, color blindness adjustments, graphical settings that conform for the low end with other forms of optimization, optimization in general, flash and color blend reductions, etc. etc.
11:12 <Alice> Mmhmm.
11:12 <Alice> There are so many better things that the time could be spent on. And it presents a potential for setting a precedence.
11:13 <Alice> I don't mean to go into slippery-slope mode, but it basically presents itself as "Well, if we can get scary thing X removed because it bothers a few people, then why not do Y for the same reason, or Z?"
11:13 <Alice> Again, recalling bees, wasps, and the like. In JRPGs, especially, these are commonplace and often depicted as larger than a human head.
11:15 <ConfusionRift> This is why I move with the notion of "build it your way". If they don't like it, they can move to something else. This conforming to everyone's wants is nothing but a hole with no end. And just traps a project into a perpetual loop of not being finished.
11:15 <Lumindia> Alice: in XIV, one of the early heavensward dungeons has an area that has you going through a giant wasp hive
11:15 <Lumindia> all the enemies in that section are bee-related
11:15 <Lumindia> causes my apiphobia to flare up
11:15 <Lumindia> @_@
11:15 <Alice> Yeah, I know.
11:15 <Alice> Same with me.
11:16 <Alice> I don't ask for it to be changed though, because I am pretty sure that's what they were going with.
11:16 <Alice> Or going for, rather.
11:16 <Lumindia> and honestly, I just deal with it, as much as I hate that part
11:16 <Lumindia> bees are just a thing that exist
11:16 <Lumindia> pretending they dont' exist isn't going to make them magically go away
11:17 <Alice> Mmhmm.
11:17 <Alice> I know I got particularly vitriolic earlier, and I do apologize for that, but it's just... it's a pet peeve of mine.
11:17 <Lumindia> ?
11:18 <Lumindia> I just woke up, what do you mean?
11:18 <Alice> Oh, I got a bit moody with respect to the spider thing.
11:18 <Alice> And I meant it in general.
11:18 <Lumindia> ah
11:19 <ConfusionRift> Alice... that wasn't even citric acid. It's all good. Then again... I guess I was adding to it. (scratches chin) Still!
11:19 <Lumindia> I mean, Arachnophobia is one of the most common phobias out there
11:19 <Alice> Yeah.
11:19 <Alice> But I'm sorry, there are more important things we should be focusing on improving right now.
11:20 <Alice> Accessibility for people with various impairments of some form being the big thing.
11:20 <Alice> Because right now, that is all over the place still.
11:20 <Lumindia> still, I can kind of see where they're coming from... but really, phobias ARE low on the list of things to be catering to
11:20 <ConfusionRift> I should point out another thing. There are many who join up with arachnophobes simply because of the general fear of bugs.
11:20 <Alice> I'm actually kind of annoyed with respect to Control's accessibility a tad, for example.
11:21 <Lumindia> Accessability done right: Celeste
11:21 <ConfusionRift> Eerm, accessibility in the game?
11:21 <Alice> Closed captioning.
11:21 <Alice> Or just subtitling in general.
11:21 <Alice> The way the game does it is... It's annoying.
11:21 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, it's kinda subpar.
11:21 <Alice> If another voice clip starts up when one is playing back with CC, the CC will be replaced immediately with the new one.
11:22 <Lumindia> yeah that does seem...
11:22 <Alice> It makes it hard to understand conversations at times.
11:22 <ConfusionRift> That and the captions don't really follow up with the speed of what's they're talking about.
11:23 <Alice> Games are a different beast from TV shows.
11:24 <Alice> An approach I'd prefer, even if it did clutter things up a bit, would be speech bubbles with arrows pointing to who's speaking, if they are visible on screen. Otherwise, show their name on it.
11:24 <ConfusionRift> It sometimes moves ahead or behind. Kinda annoying. Then again, I also found that some of Jesse's interactions are kinda bothersome as well.
11:25 * ConfusionRift points at Far Cry: New Dawn. "But nothing as bad as this!"
11:26 <Alice> Can't say I've played that.
11:27 <Alice> Plus, the whole Spyro remake debacle.
11:27 <ConfusionRift> Was given to me. Since I finished the other Far Cry games, i thought about doing the same for this one.
11:29 <Alice> Apparently, the Spidertron requires a fish to build.
11:32 <ConfusionRift> The captions don't follow the conversation, all the models look like they were taken from the 5th game (expected that), controller mapping is an oddity, it's either tearing or slowing any inputs, the shoving lock still happens, cross-console rewards don't cross over, and looks like they decided to throw away all customizability.
11:33 <ConfusionRift> Fun fact: You can use real money to get perk points, and many aspects that used to be available from the start in other games are now perks... like the repair tool and the binoculars.
11:35 <Alice> Honestly, that sounds like expected behavior from a company that is so spread out, and has so many ideologies that simply do not mesh well with one another in any way.
11:35 <Alice> Resulting in projects being moved from the initial dev team, to another dev team who has absolutely no understanding of the series, right and wrong, etc, etc, etc.
11:38 <Alice> Leading, ultimately, to what I like to affectionately describe as something that rhymes with "a clustertruck." And the original team getting sacked or reprimanded despite them having absolutely nothing to do with the new product.
11:40 <Alice> Next on the ****list of developers is nVidia.
11:40 <Alice> Apparently, they've been caught trying to circumvent the GPL in the Linux kernel.
11:40 <Alice> A huge no-no.
11:42 <Lumindia> Clustertruck is a fun game
11:42 <Lumindia> :>
11:42 <Alice> Apparently, they are creating open-source shim modules that sit between the Linux kernel and the proprietary module. Proprietary modules, when loaded, "taint" the kernel, and flip a switch to indicate this tainting.
11:42 <Alice> nVidia is, among other things, trying to get aroudn this by creating a module that sits between the Kernel and the Proprietary Module, that proclaims itself to be GPL compatible to appease the kernel, and yet calls into the proprietary module to do stuff.
11:43 <Alice> It's being called the GPL Condom.
11:43 <Alice> Basically, it's a means of preventing the kernel from being considered "tainted" by the proprietary module(driver)
11:44 <Alice> Put in simpler terms, nVidia bad.
11:50 * ConfusionRift nods.
11:50 <ConfusionRift> This is something expected from knockoff cards.
