00:06 <PinkieShy> >_> Local news and weather station said "Stay inside" on the mosquitoes meter.. Saying there is so much standing water in some places and light wind that its causing so many..
00:06 <PinkieShy> I've seen it worse before though.
00:20 <Schism> Same, having lived in Texas.
00:21 * Schism sighs, takes a store run.
00:23 <PinkieShy> Schism, after hurricane florence that one time.. We couldn't step outside without like 10 bugs getting on us
00:23 <PinkieShy> The stores were selling out of bug repellent like hotcakes..

03:25 * Schism smiles slightly at her face in the mirror. "I'm starting to get it, I think."
03:29 * Ali flops over the Schism
03:29 * Schism scritches the Ali's ears.
03:30 * Ali mewls and leans into the scritchies
03:30 * Schism pats the Ali, and provides cookies and milk.
03:30 <Ali> Heh, don't make me hungry again chef ling
03:31 <Schism> But cute Ali, it's what I do~
03:32 <Ali> I'm not cute dang it
03:32 * Schism gives Ali another earscritch. "Cute pone."
03:32 * Ali puffycheeks
03:35 * Schism just gives Ali more cookies and ear-rubs. For to make her cuter.
03:35 <Ali> But I'm not cute, you can't cute ugly pones
03:35 * Ali flops over.
03:35 <Schism> S'okay. I don't feel all that cute myself. *snuggles*
03:38 <Schism> Also, flop!Ali is also adorbs.
03:38 <Ali> Just hard to believe that when you feel ditched a ton in life you know.
03:39 * Schism boops Ali's horn. "I know. And harder still when you've been convinced to keep telling yourself that you're not."
03:40 <Ali> Yeah its just been hard, for feeling like I've been kicked out of so many gaming groups..
03:41 <Schism> I have a hard time feeling like that's on you.
03:41 <Ali> I know, but it /feels/ like it
03:42 <Schism> That is the hard part...
03:42 * Schism hugs Ali again.
03:42 <Ali> So I'm very careful on things and I tend to sound or act wierd cause of the things I'm scared of.
03:43 <Schism> Feeling like you're kind of going through life on stilts?
03:43 <Ali> I guess? I dunno
03:43 <Ali> Like how I ask what other people think are stupid questions, but I do it cause I'm scared I'm being a pest or something.
03:44 <Schism> Ali, I've said it before a million times, the only stupid question is the one to which you don't already know the answer -- and if you're not sure of the answer, that's still not stupid.
03:44 <Ali> Yes but it does piss people off sometimes.
03:45 <Schism> Again, that's on them. Frankly, I love when people ask me questions. Even the hard ones.
03:45 <Schism> Saying 'stupid question' is just another way of asking permission, too... and you shouldn't have to feel like you need permission to ask.
03:46 <Schism> I mean, obviously, unless you're asking something inappropriate for casual conversation.
03:46 <Ali> Not that I'm aware of
03:47 <Ali> I mean the group I used to play the Pokemon TCG just up and left me, not telling me that they were changing locations..
03:49 <Schism> Again, that's on them. If they had even a scrap of reason, they'd have let you know either A. why they left without you (and leaving someone in the lurch for no reason is just plain rude) or B. asked you to come with.
03:49 <Schism> Frankly, I'd be hurt if there were a reason to be left behind, but I'd prefer that to no reason at all.
03:49 <Ali> I know it wasn't B, that's for sure.
03:50 <Ali> I kept going back for like several weeks before stopping.
03:50 <Ali> Then same thing happened to the board game group
03:50 <Ali> They stopped showing up for like three to four weeks
03:51 <Schism> Ali, if they had let you know why, and you didn't make changes, then maybe they would have had a point. People are cowards, though.
03:51 <Schism> And that's assuming that they had any reason at all.
03:52 <Ali> I dunno, they eventually came back, but I never went back again cause it did hurt.
03:52 * Schism nods, and hugs.
03:53 <Ali> So if you ever wonder why I don't trust a lot of people, its cause of that kind of fear.
03:55 <Schism> Fear of rejection... yeah.
03:55 <Schism> Not entirely unfamiliar with that myself.
03:55 <Schism> And fear of that sort of betrayal, where a connection is broken not because of something you did, but because of something they think.
03:56 <Ali> I dunno, I've been stabbed like this in the back so many times I just come to expect it.
03:58 * Schism shakes her head, and hugs the Ali again...
03:59 * Ali curls up into the Schism and sighs.
04:02 * Schism leans into the Ali, and nods.
04:02 <Ali> I just dunno what else to do.
04:02 <Schism> Hard to say what to do with life besides 'keep trying'...
04:03 * Schism looks down. "I know that's the worst advice ever."
04:04 <Ali> Yeah I know, I hear that a lot and it keeps backfiring at times.
04:07 <Schism> It does, yeah. Sometimes way over half the time.
04:07 * Ali just leans into Schism and blehs.

06:21 <PinkieShy> Don't you freaking dare do this to me tonight out of all nights internet connection :(
06:21 <PinkieShy> I wanna hang with my bffs on VRC.

06:35 * Ali leans into ConfusionRift hugs, unicorn just so bleh tonight.
06:36 * ConfusionRift barely got back from work, and also feels very bleh.
06:37 <PinkieShy> ok.. that one person from my past just joined us... I'm doing good so far..
06:37 <PinkieShy> The one that caused a panic attack like 3 months ago.. (that person..)
06:38 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-c37bqa.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)
06:38 <PinkieShy> PRobably just take it easy and such around them..
06:40 <PinkieShy> All i still feel around this person is.. a question running through my mind.. Can I trust them.
06:40 <PinkieShy> Which is a strong question.
06:54 <ConfusionRift> Thinking on checking on Factorio. Maybe, dunno.
06:54 <Schism> ConfusionRift, Rogue Legacy 2 is as frustrating as you might imagine.
06:55 <ConfusionRift> Of course. As I said, the first one left me with a bad taste.
06:55 <ConfusionRift> Being stuck in the same areas for several days just doesn't fill me with the urge to keep playing.
06:56 <ConfusionRift> And I kept getting horrible rolls when it came to the following generations.
06:57 <ConfusionRift> And considering the new one is on early access, doesn't fill me with confidence either. :P
07:22 * Golden flops.
07:31 * Alice flops in.
07:34 <ConfusionRift> Hallooo.
07:35 <Alice> How goes it?
07:35 <ConfusionRift> Kinda sorta maybe a bit meh. Just contemplating things.
07:36 <ConfusionRift> A lot going on and that old jazz.
07:36 <Alice> Looks that way for a lot of us right now.
07:36 <Alice> Think it's just that good ole' lockdown and such taking it's toll on us all again.
07:37 <ConfusionRift> For me, it's work.
07:37 <Alice> And work, yes.
07:37 <ConfusionRift> Nothing else, just work and all its trappings.
07:40 <Alice> Mostly social problems here, and general body aches.
07:42 <Alice> ... Least I have a decent breakfast this evening. Parents got me a sub from subway.
07:42 <ConfusionRift> Nice.
07:42 <Ali> You mean a bread sandwich
07:42 <Alice> Hmm?
07:42 <Ali> I haven't had a subway in ages, cause around here, they skimp heavily on you.
07:42 <Alice> Ah, here they don't.
07:43 <Ali> Been years though, and I prefer Jimmy Johns only cause I don't have to make as many choices as I do Subway.
07:43 <Ali> Cause give me too many options and that causes brain.exe to stop working.
07:44 <ConfusionRift> In here, they don't skimp on it either, but everything stands for a little too long and nothing is really fresh.
07:45 <Alice> The local subway tends to be busy, so the ingredients are usually fresh.
07:45 <ConfusionRift> Then again, everything that's local here just gets trashified.
07:45 <Alice> The subways at the university, they're pretty much guaranteed to be fresh at around lunchtime. At least, when there's no lockdown keeping students from going onto campus.
07:49 <ConfusionRift> Subway is hard to screw up, but everything else normally is bad. Cold food, warm and/or watered down sodas, and not making it the way it was ordered.
07:49 <ConfusionRift> And it's with all the restaurants here. All of them.
07:50 <Alice> Ah.
07:50 <Alice> Spitfire, that hurts.
07:52 <Alice> https://youtu.be/n11i3xKvJfg?t=53 Me = Dog
07:55 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaw, memories.
07:57 <Alice> My mother is confused by my cat's behavior. He was doing his usual arm thing, and she started examining him to see what was up.
07:58 <Alice> It seems to be some sort of affection thing. He purrs when he does it, but he doesn't like it when I move my arm. He bites down on my wrist to stop me from moving my arm. He also doesn't like being touched when he's doing it, as my mother learned when she tried to pet him.
08:01 <Ali> Wish my cats would stay around more than they do..
08:02 <Ali> Thought I was going to raise them better, but guess I screwed that up. They hate being picked up.
08:02 <Alice> https://twitter.com/kaynimatic/status/1296351889886310401
08:03 <Alice> Ali, cat personalities can be all over the place regardless of how you raise them.
08:03 <Alice> We raised Tizzy like any of our other cats, and yet she can be a mean little bean at times.
08:14 * Alice reads the news. "My Pillow CEO promotes a toxic plant as a cure for COVID-19. Well, I guess that's one way to cure people."
08:14 <Alice> Nothing to cure if they are dead, after all. And "Death by consumption of poison" doesn't add to the tally of COVID-19 deaths.
08:16 <ConfusionRift> "If the problem just keeps giving you a headache, just BLOW IT UP!"

08:23 <Alice> Ow ow ow ow. Ow. Ow ow. Ow. Ow.
08:24 <Alice> Have you not done enough damage to my arm, cat?
08:24 <Alice> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EfidK29WAAEycz9?format=jpg&name=large This is what the damage- OW -looks like.
08:25 <Schism> This keeps up, your arm is going to look like Mitty.
08:25 <Ali> Soon when Alice has their next drink, it'll all just come out their arm! *shot*
08:26 <Alice> I kind of want to shave my arm now to see the full extent of the damage.
08:26 <Alice> But even for me, that might be going a tad far. I don't know of many people, female or male, who shave their arms. :P
08:28 * Schism coughs. "Use depilatory cream, myself. Doesn't *clear* the arm, but it lessens the hairs."
08:30 <Alice> I have my doubts that it'd have any effect on me, on the grounds that I seem to have gotten the absolute worst hair-based genetics from both sides of my family.
08:30 <Alice> My dad's side is excessively hairy. My mother's side is baldness and some excessive hair.
08:38 <PinkieShy> The person.. Sent me a friend request.. o_o
08:39 <PinkieShy> I'm not ready to hit 'accept' or even 'Decline' eh.. :/

08:40 * Alice flops off to do some exercise.
08:41 * Ali noms on her own tail
08:42 <Alice> Or not. Overdid it slightly yesterday. Should give myself another day or two before I move on up in exercises again.
08:42 * ConfusionRift kicks a wind chime, and the whole thing moves in unison. "That some rusty wind chime."
08:42 * PrincessRainbows looks up at Ali and grabby hooves
08:43 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.
08:43 * Ali scoops up PrincessRainbows and huggles her tight
08:43 <Alice> I'ma take a shower, then after that, Bug Hunter 64: The Buggening.
08:44 * Schism snrks at the Saga of Cheryl. "She's getting used to the idea."
08:44 * PrincessRainbows licks Ali and hugs. Hoof feels much better, probably just a small flesh wound
08:44 <Ali> Bug Hunter 64?
08:45 * Ali cleans and rebandages PrincessRainbows hoofsie and snugs her again.
08:45 <Alice> Factorio. :P
08:45 <Alice> But first though, grapes, THEN shower.
08:46 <Ali> Oh.
08:46 * Alice leaves a bunch of bug traps around Schism.
08:46 <PrincessRainbows> I didn't even fall hard... But neither did last time
08:46 <Ali> It doesn't take much to mess something up
08:47 <PrincessRainbows> Apparently
08:47 <Ali> I remember my mom fell at the graveyard and didn't think much of the fall
08:47 <Ali> Turned out that she did have some damage to the bone, but she put it off for a few weeks
08:48 <Ali> This is also after I told her to go to a doc asap cause she couldn't put weight onto it.
08:48 <PrincessRainbows> Last time I didn't even think about it. Until my doctor showed me the xray
08:48 <Ali> Watch enough pro football games and you can kinda guess something's wrong if you can't put a lot of weight on your foot.
08:48 <PrincessRainbows> True
08:49 <Alice> Force is mass times acceleration. You can have a mass of 5, and acceleration of 25, and it'll come out to 125. Likewise, you can have a mass of 25, and an acceleration of 5, and it'll still come out to 125.
08:49 <Ali> Huh, thought Rifty wouldn't been on with all the Factorio talks.
08:49 <Alice> "What? Oh, no, I'm too busy playing Factorio."
08:50 <PrincessRainbows> Either way it doesn't matter. It's not like I'll be able to walk again anyway
08:50 <ConfusionRift> I jumped in, was empty, remembered last everything caught fire while I was playing solo, and backed off.
08:51 <Alice> You realize that there have been tons of people who doctors swore up and down would never walk again, among other things, who later then proved those doctors horribly wrong, right?
08:51 <Alice> Anyhow, back in a bit. Showe- Ow. Shower.
08:51 <PrincessRainbows> Ah, gotta love spontaneous combustion
08:51 <ConfusionRift> Will jump back in. Just have to get an item real fast and make a thing. :P
09:01 * PrincessRainbows whimpers and hugs Ali so tight. Everyday it becomes more obvious I live with yays
09:02 * Ali hugs PrincessRainbows so so much.
09:02 <ConfusionRift> Alright. Jumping in.
09:06 <PrincessRainbows> I mean yes, I know I'm not thinking as clearly as usual but it feels anytime I interact with them it ends poorly
09:06 <PrincessRainbows> For everyone
09:08 <PrincessRainbows> I've spent 99% of the day in my room lately because I can't take it
09:12 <ConfusionRift> Know that feeling, though in my case, they're just too loud and sometimes just irritating.
09:12 <Schism> FML.
09:12 <Schism> I've been up for 22 hours and I'm trying to talk someone down from the rooftop.

17:39 <Schism> Thrill-seeking can also be a means by which to chase a sort of euphoria.
17:39 <Alice> Yes.
17:39 <Alice> But doing it to prove one's masculinity or femininity in particular, is stupid.
17:40 <Alice> If you want to prove you're brave, or a thrill seeker, express it in those terms.

17:55 <Schism> Ahem, whip, not kick.
17:57 <Alice> As for on my end, in my bedroom, I am sitting right next to the router used for the Internet, so... when I don't want to sit up and play games on my PC, just stream the games from my PC to my laptop.
18:01 <Alice> Seems excessive, though. Might as well just turn my couch towards the computer, get a keyboard/mouse tray out, and use that.

18:15 <Schism> This has of course never been me in a roleplaying game. https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2020/04/20/042020-bored/
18:18 <Alice> Heh
18:22 * Alice orders a small pizza for dinner.
18:22 <Schism> It's 2 PM.
18:23 <Alice> https://twitter.com/alexandermuscat/status/1296010700746194945/photo/1
18:23 <Alice> I woke up at 3 AM.
18:24 <Schism> I suppose that's reasonable, then. So, what sort of pizza are you getting? Pineapple and anchovy, I hope.
18:24 <Alice> Tell me it isn't dinner time, if we count from then.
18:24 <Alice> Nah. Typical meat lovers pizza. Trying a new place out, as well.
18:24 * Schism asks in all innocence, certainly not trolling. "Oh, nice."
18:24 <Alice> After Pizza Pizza started pulling stupid stuff.
18:25 <Alice> They were caught giving away personal information to police.
18:25 <Schism> Yeah, Little Caesar's... I'm sure they're decent for the most part, but I think I'd prefer the local pizzarias.
18:26 <Alice> I'm trying a local one, yeah.
18:26 * Alice goes to make some soda water, in the meantime.
18:28 <Alice> Soda Stream. Might not be able to get exact replicas of your favourite soda drinks, but at least you can throw in whatever flavoring you want, or if you're crazy like me, drink it plain.
18:28 <Schism> I've a local pizzaria whom I should give a call. That whole 3-for-$22 thing.
18:28 <Schism> Some folks drink seltzer. *shrug*
18:28 <Schism> With a little lemon.
18:29 <Alice> Yeah, I prefer just straight, sometimes with an orange flavoring.
18:30 <Schism> Thing about the pizzaria near us... their extra large pizzas are fantastic, but they are also *just* too big for the fridge.
18:31 <Alice> In this case, I just went with a small. Yes, I know I'm paying more per square inch of pizza for a small than for say, a medium or large, but I don't want any leftovers. Or to eat a large pizza all by myself.
18:31 <Alice> Plus, I don't know this place, so..
18:32 * Alice watches Spitfire jump up onto the kitchen table, walk up to her, then headbutt her something fierce in the face. Ow.
18:32 <Alice> And now he's doing his kneading.
18:32 <Alice> The arm gets worse.
18:33 <Alice> So much damage, the skin is just starting to peel at this point.
18:33 <Schism> Alice: You have a very distressing void.
18:34 <Alice> Let's see.
18:35 <Alice> He spends minutes on end kneading, and then attempting to balance himself on my arm with all four paws. The entire time, he's purring. If I move my arm, he does this frustrated-sounding meow. If I really move my arm, he may even bite down on my wrist. Not hard enough to draw blood, but it leaves teeth marks.
18:35 <Alice> If I pet him, he gives a frustrated meow.
18:36 <Schism> Maybe *something* from when he was a kitten?
18:36 <Alice> I think it's more distressing though that I don't stop it. Then again, I've given up trying.
18:36 <Alice> He keeps doing it no matter what.
18:36 <Alice> If I stop him, he just starts it up again a few seconds later.
18:37 <Alice> Current theories are trained behavior from his mother, or not weaned properly.
18:37 <Schism> First seems more likely.
18:39 <Alice> The behavior kind of reminds me of a cat that's kneading into another cat.
18:42 <Alice> https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/popular-pasta-sauce-brand-ragu-is-no-longer-selling-products-in-canada-1.5071438 I wonder what they'll fill aisle 2 with, now.
18:43 <Schism> Classico, I guess.
18:43 <Alice> I hope you at least got that reference. :P
18:43 <Schism> Sort of.
18:43 <Alice> Magical Trevor.
18:44 <Schism> Ah, it's been ages since I've watched anything of weebl's.
18:45 <Alice> Back in a bit. Pizza's almost here.
18:45 <Schism> An old pasta sauce variety I miss is "Mids".
18:48 <Alice> Interestingly, my favourite pre-made sauce is of the Irresistable brand.
18:49 <Alice> Hum, coulda sworn I requested two dips. Ah well.
18:50 <Alice> Hum. Think I found a new place I like.

18:52 <Alice> Not exactly a local pizzaria, though. Toppers Pizza. *Gets assaulted by stick figures*
18:54 <Alice> I like how in Finishing the Mission, you can pull a Charles.
18:56 <Lumindia> wololo
19:03 <Schism> <Airship>
19:03 <Schism> I prefer that one to the canon timeline, though.

20:50 <Alice> Sleep well, Ali?
20:51 <Ali> A little X.x My sleep is always trash though.
20:51 <Alice> How come?
20:51 <Ali> I'm a super light sleeper, and toss and turn a ton so I don't really get into a deep sleep.
20:53 * Lumindia_ snuggles up to Ali muchly
20:53 <Lumindia_> o vo
20:54 * Ali snugs onto the Lumindia_

21:24 <Alice> Ali: Update on the base, I've started installing laser defenses, but we really need to back them up with some accumulators to store some charge. Otherwise, when they start firing, the base momentarily suffers a brownout. Southern perimeter is walled off, we ran out of coal, but I resolved that. Copper's slowly starting to run out, so maybe hook up the train for it. Otherwise, all's good.
21:24 <Ali> Kay, I could hop in and help if need be
21:25 <Alice> I'm actually done for now. Starting to get tired.
21:25 <Ali> Makes sense, since I didn't stop playing till 10am
21:28 <Alice> I stopped playing, but then a friend of mine asked if they could join the server, and I didn't want to leave them with bug attacks to deal with. Especially as their lag is far worse than yours or Rifty's.
21:28 <Alice> They hail from the Netherlands. :P
21:29 <Ali> I don't mind another player
21:29 <Ali> And being a fresh player on a world halfway into the bug evo would not be good
21:29 <Alice> Mmhmm.
21:30 <Alice> So I stayed around to work on some defenses and such.
21:30 <PinkieShy> aaaah :( a creeper just blew up all my work in minecraft
21:30 <Alice> But they quickly acclimated to our mess.
21:30 <Ali> Yeah I didn't plan out things very well at first
21:30 <Ali> Thus the whole restructuring is taking so much longer than I thought.
21:30 <Alice> Except that when it involves me, you and Rifty, it's always a mess. Always. :P
21:31 <Alice> None of us can design clean stuff worth beans.
21:31 <Ali> This is fine meme intensifies
21:31 <Alice> I try to be pretty with smaller setups, but as they get larger and spread out, things tend to go downhill.
21:32 <Ali> I know my train layout is utter trash by a lot of people's standards, using almost twice the ammount of track, but it works >.>
21:33 <Alice> It's actually not that bad. It does the job.
21:34 <Ali> And I'm so used to using that old .17 blueprint book to make things early on.
21:44 <Alice> But yeah, if you could at some point make a... hmm... 8x8 grid of accumulators somewhere, it should provide a buffer against brownouts caused by small bug swarms.
21:45 <Ali> Or I could go on a bigger risk
21:46 <Ali> And try to mine out that uranium patch
21:46 <Ali> Would take a few hours to pay off due to probably needing to pipe over sulfuric acid and to actually craft the power plant.
21:47 <Alice> Well, the south-western uranium ore patch is protected, so you can try.
21:47 <Alice> But the bigger issue is getting nuclear power access, and kovarex, otherwise it'll be extremely inefficient.
21:48 <Ali> You just need basic stuff. Kovarex is a bit more of a later issue to help use up all the excess garbage uranium
21:49 <Alice> Mind, the excess can be spent on uranium cartridges for guns.
21:50 <Dappled> Okay, but have you considered just peacefully coexisting on the planet rather than stripping it of all of it's resources?
21:51 <Ali> The biggest issues will be about several hours to make the power plant, and a few more for letting the uranium get converted.
21:52 <Alice> Dappled: No.
21:52 <Alice> I mean, I have considered it.
21:52 <Alice> I just won't.
21:52 <Ali> And if we're already brownouting from power issues, I'm sure adding more miners and converters will not help that problem.
21:52 <Alice> The bugs need to die.
21:52 <Alice> Oh, the brownouts are like, split seconds.
21:52 <Ali> Before they get to large
21:52 * Dappled nods sagely.
21:52 <Alice> Only when the lasers fire.
21:53 <Alice> Hence why the accumulators would be a simpler, shorter-term solution.
21:53 <Alice> They'd keep the grid from freaking out.
21:55 <Alice> https://www.reddit.com/r/DidntKnowIWantedThat/comments/idd3jm/that_seems_like_a_fun_book_to_read/ Schism, a book for you.
22:00 <Alice> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8YhE4s1RnE Huh. Cheetahs sound cute.
