02:05 <Alice> ...

02:05 <Alice> Well ****.

02:05 <Alice> I was watching Id: Invaded, binging it.  But it appears, for some inexplicable reason, every episode (1-11, 13, inclusive), is available except for episode 12.

02:06 <Alice> For whatever reason, episode 12 is not available in Canada.

02:13 <Ali> Must be a sauce episode

02:13 <Ali> If its anime

02:35 <Schism> Oh phew.  Tonight is much better.

02:36 <Schism> If it's a psychological horror anime, Ali, then episode 12 is probably the one that explains everything.

02:36 * Ali shrugs.

02:41 <Schism> 'Cheating Men Must Die' is an interesting revenge fic.  Also a very nice counterpoint to many of those 'reincarnation' fics where the Mary Sue destroys oh-so-many-lives.

02:43 <Alice> It was, Schism.  Fortunately, the system resolved itself.

02:45 * PrincessRainbows gallops into Ali accidentally and giggles

02:47 * PrincessRainbows makes silly filly noises and hugs Ali so tight

02:50 * Ali hugs PrincessRainbows tightly.

02:51 * PrincessRainbows looks up at Ali like any little filly and grabby hooves

02:52 * Ali scoops up PrincessRainbows and hugs her more.

02:54 <Alice> Hum, that was a fun show.  But it made my brain go weird and look inward again.

02:55 <Alice> Really wish Rogers wouldn't **** around with things, though.  Indications of rate limiting and such.

02:57 <Alice> I wonder how I'll feel tomorrow.  I did 60 minutes of steady biking at a medium setting today.  Longer than usual.

02:59 <Ali> Inb4 sore

03:01 * PrincessRainbows giggles more. Such a good horse

03:04 <Alice> I'm pretty sure I'll be fine.

03:07 <Alice> As for why I seek murder mystery type games, etc.  I want to improve my perception, awareness.  I need to learn to spot and catch the things out of place.

03:09 <Alice> ... Geezus that opening to this series alone was terrifying as hell.

03:31 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)

03:46 <Alice> A ghost hunter, a priest, a monk, a shrine maiden, a spirit medium and a psychic all walk into a haunted school building.  This isn't a joke, it's something that actually happens in the first episode of Ghost Hunt.

03:53 * PrincessRainbows looks at her horseshoes, they're not very lucky

03:56 * PrincessRainbows licks Ali anyway and snuggles

04:31 <Dappled> Okay, but why watch Ghost Hunt, when you can watch the dub of Ghost Stories. Also that dub is very much NSFW.

04:33 <Schism> Could also watch Chaos;Child, which is absolutely horrifying.

04:34 * Dappled doesn't suggest scary things.

04:35 * Alice is going to watch all sorts of things, really. Mostly horror and psychological thriller stuff. o3o

04:35 <Alice> Tends to happen around this time of year.  Little early for it to be kicking up, though.  Usually tends to happen closer to October 31st, for obvious reasons.

04:36 <Alice> I'm particularly a fan of mind-rending horror.

04:38 <Schism> Then there's Gankutsuou, a retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo in sci-fi.

04:38 <Alice> Heh.

04:43 * Ali doesn't do horror, dun't like getting scared...

04:44 * Ali hides under Dappled just cause.

04:45 * Dappled lays down on Ali.

04:50 * Golden flops.

06:10 * PrincessRainbows yawns and grabs her pacifier before booping Ali's horn

06:10 * Ali boops PrincessRainbows back and just gives her a big hug before tucking the filly to bed.

06:11 *** Joins: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-1hk.irn.56.193.IP)

06:11 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

06:11 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:11 <Alice> You know, until I started learning some of the history behind them, and looking at pictures of them, I never realized just how freakin' creepy the more realistic doll toys looked.  Uncanny valley much?

06:12 * PrincessRainbows grabby hooves at Ali for her favorite plushie

06:13 * Ali isn't sure which that is, gives PrincessRainbows ConfusionRift to figure that one out.

06:13 <ConfusionRift> 0_0

06:13 * PrincessRainbows yays anyway. I like this horse too. Nini

06:14 <ConfusionRift> Alice: There's a reason why they used those old dolls for horror movies a lot.

06:14 * ConfusionRift lightly pats PrincessRainbows.

06:15 * Alice shudders.

06:15 <Alice> Much as I want to be girly, them dolls are too much even for me.  Possessed I tells ya.  Cursed.  Of the devil.  Monstrous.

06:16 <Alice> Evil.

06:16 <Dappled> These days, who isn't?

06:17 <Alice> Cats?

06:17 <Dappled> Have you seen Cats? I mean I haven't, but I heard it got really bad reviews.

06:17 <Ali> I don't know about that, I feel like a slave to those things

06:18 <Alice> I mean felis sylvestris, Dappled.

06:18 <Alice> As in, house cats.

06:18 <Ali> Feed me, give me water, treats please.  What do I get in return?  A flee when I want to pet them.

06:18 <Alice> Not the monstrosities from that movie.

06:18 <Dappled> Sylverster wants to eat Tweety Bird!

06:18 <ConfusionRift> They use those for paranormal studies as well. Just like most toys, they often come attached with heavy and constant sentiments, which tend to be projected, a la Control.

06:18 <Alice> Heh.

06:18 <Alice> Speaking of, been making slow progress in that.  Wandering the Mold threshhold.

06:19 <Alice> Moldy zombies.  MMMMMMmmm~!

06:19 * Alice goes to nom on a stalk.

06:19 <ConfusionRift> Oh boy. Let's say there's a mess deep down there.

06:19 * ConfusionRift baps Alice. "No! That's bad for you, Alice!

06:19 <Alice> I am aware.

06:20 <Alice> I haven't gone deep into it yet, I only just returned the five samples, but we're planning to make more progress tomorrow, as my mother's off work for the next few days.

06:21 <Alice> In terms of the main story, let's see... the last thing I recall doing was...

06:22 * ConfusionRift left a tab with "vintage doll" images on it, and notices a particular thing, and closes it. "Big nope."

06:22 <Alice> Getting something from Ahti.  Deep down in a hidden place.

06:23 <ConfusionRift> Guessing you already set foot in the Ashtray Maze?

06:23 <Alice> I haven't explored past it's Control Point.

06:24 <Alice> I got sidetracked after Ahti mentioned cleaning, and encountering the Mold a few more times.  I decided to go to Central Research to investigate the Mold.

06:24 <Alice> Control is particularly interesting in one way, for me.

06:25 <ConfusionRift> If I'm not wrong, you're getting something from Ahti, so you can actually get through it. Not gonna mention anything else, other than it's gonna get good. At least, I liked what happens. That is all.

06:25 <Alice> Navigation.  No matter how much I move around, I can't seem to retain a proper mental map of the place.  Certain rooms I remember the layouts to, eidetically, but the rest...

06:27 <ConfusionRift> I do get kinda lost, or I mix up some areas as well. Then again, The Old House is a creature of chaos.

06:27 <Alice> Like, the one room ingrained into my brain for some reason, is the two-floor room full of clocks.  The one that contains the shelter entrance to the Anchor.

06:27 <ConfusionRift> That one got stuck in my head for bad reasons.

06:28 <Alice> I have that room memorized pretty well.  Any further memorization would involve the location of each individual clock.

06:28 <Alice> And uh, yeah, no, not going to waste neurons on that.

06:31 <ConfusionRift> What bothers me the most is there's a entrance supposedly leading from Ritual Divisions to Central Research, but noooo, gotta go the long way.

06:31 <ConfusionRift> This creature of chaos blocked it off.

06:33 <ConfusionRift> And the higher ledge area in the coolant pumps is easy to get to by simple observation... rather than being an idiot (like me) and waiting to get the hover skill.

06:34 <ConfusionRift> And there's a particular mold enemy that can burn in hell.

06:35 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, finally got released on Steam.

06:36 <Alice> So I saw.

06:41 <Alice> Okay, in absence of special effects, this anime utilizes auditory effects to achieve fear, terror and a sense of dread.  I'm creeped the hell out now.

06:41 <ConfusionRift> If that was their objective, seems they did a good job.

06:42 <Alice> Ghost hunting anime, so yeah, it does the job.

06:42 <Alice> Quite well at that.

06:43 <ConfusionRift> I think it was discussed in here some time ago, how good audio cues and that sense of creepy and tense atmosphere can turn something that shouldn't be that creepy or scary into nightmare-ish.

06:44 <ConfusionRift> Like how some games have scary or creepy things, despite those games not being part of said genre.

06:46 <Alice> Thumper comes to mind, for dread.  Watched a playthrough of it, as it's not my kind of game, but the music and associated visuals...  Holy hell.

06:47 <Dappled> If you want terrifying, they are making an anime of Uzumaki, released sometime next year.

06:47 <Alice> Heh.

06:47 <Alice> Uzumaki wasn't really terrifying to me.  Creepy and distressing, but not scary.  So it'll be interesting to see how it work out for me.

06:49 <ConfusionRift> "I can completely understand why it's been labled as both a "Horror" game and a "Rhythm violence" game."

06:50 <ConfusionRift> I can see that. Also... how did I forget about this game? It's not new either.

08:26 <ConfusionRift> Because the cursor sometimes moves a bit on a side, just enough to tell the game to place it on the next tile. And if you are on a spidertron, the darn thing gyrates enough to cause that when the camera is up close.... at least, to me.

08:28 <ConfusionRift> Also, you playing, I'm guessing?

21:50 <Schism> Surprisingly so.  It was nice and cool this morning, but I just got back and I'm melting.

21:51 * Schism flops. "Oh, well."

21:52 <Alice> I just got out of a hot shower, myself.  Need to stop taking them.

21:52 <Alice> I've been trying to adapt myself to colder temps lately.

21:52 <Schism> Mm, most of my showers of late have been lukewarm.  Not *cold*, but cool.

21:53 <Alice> Interestingly, as I reduce the temperature of the water, after a few minutes, I find the water actually starts to feel warm to me.

21:53 <Alice> So I usually drop the temp a small amount again.  Repeat until I reach a point that's too cold.

22:38 <Alice> I've been buying cans of sardines lately.  I blame Disgaea 4.  Anyways, it's just plain sardines in water.  Nothing special.

22:39 <Alice> So I gave him a small amount, after making sure that yes, cats can eat sardines without problems.

22:39 <Alice> 1)  He didn't eat any of the actual meat.  He licked it clean of juices, rather.  2)  He vomited shortly after.

22:39 <Alice> This tends to be a common thing with him and fish when we give him any.  Tuna elicits the same reaction.
