00:01 <Schism> Okay, this is rather a ridiculous leap to go to.

00:01 <Schism> "There's no scent of the bomb being planted."  I would immediately think, "Oh, then the bomb must have been there all along."

00:01 * Alice hmms.

00:02 <Schism> Deuteragonist is a wolf with a supernatural sense of smell.

00:02 <Schism> He can pick up scent traces from up to a day off.

00:03 <Alice> Scents can be washed away with rain, weather, and the like.  Also standard biological breakdown.  It's true that bloodhounds for example, can detect scents long after the source is gone, but there's a limit even to that.

00:03 <Alice> Rain, especially, makes it problematic.

00:03 <Schism> Aye, but he's then able to view where that scent goes across the entire city and sniff 6 bombs from blocks away.

00:04 <Schism> Which strains credulity, but that's the sort of anime this is.  :S

00:05 <Schism> If we're going to ask for credible fiction, the very premise of this counters that.

00:10 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: Updating drivers >_> oh the joy of updates)

00:13 * Alice brainstorms.

00:14 <Alice> I'm trying to figure out how a software cursor with good responsiveness could be implemented.  Based on some details I've read, I found how the final 3D/2D scene could be rendered ahead of time without locking up the application waiting for a vblank.

00:15 <Alice> But the issue is still in doing that final composition of the image and cursor.

00:15 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

00:27 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs PrincessRainbows

00:28 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs PinkieShy

00:33 <Schism> So, Ship 2 is the one I'll pick...

00:33 <Alice> BLeh.. I got a tension headache or something, and it's not going away.  Calling off gaming tonight, think I'll just lay down on the couch when my parents go to bed and watch something on my laptop or the TV.

00:33 <Schism> Resting and relaxing is definitely ideal there...

00:33 * Schism massages Alice's shoulders.

00:34 <Alice> Though given how my nose feels, it could just as easily be some sort of sinus- or nasal-related headache.

00:34 <PinkieShy> I.. I.. Just met the furry telephone.

00:35 <PinkieShy> My mind is blown from happiness as i never thought that would ever happen.. They were on vrchat.

00:35 <PinkieShy> Being that many of the furries are coming there lately since no conventions

00:57 <Schism> These aren't tears.  They're just... eye leakage.   That's all.

00:57 <Alice> Hmm?

00:58 <Schism> BNA.  There's some very touching moments there, which, yes, make me cry in happiness.

00:58 <Schism> And in pathos.

00:58 <PinkieShy> BNA I love that show..

00:59 <Schism> Just watched episode 4, with the dolphin.

00:59 <PinkieShy> I wanna talk about it ow.. But not going to :P

00:59 <PinkieShy> If i do.. PRobably more than liekly will be spoilers and i don't do that stuff.

01:00 <Schism> "Being in human form is like wearing high heels all the time."  *splorfs at this very fine statement of the trans experience*

01:56 <Alice> Right, so triptans also work on tension headaches apparently.

01:57 <Alice> So, either it's not a tension headache, or all of my headaches basically have a similar underlying cause.

01:57 <Alice> Or effect on the brain.

01:57 <Schism> Either way, at least it does the trick...

02:01 <Alice> https://twitter.com/Bimshwel/status/1301691640604774400/photo/1 Schism, this seems up your alley for some reason.

02:12 <Schism> You are correct.

02:13 <Schism> PSO2.  Where is the waist slider.  I don't want my character to be bereft of organs.

02:14 <Schism> Oh whatever, it's Phantasy Star, nobody has organs anyway.

02:23 * Ali installs an organ on Schism's ship

03:43 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

03:43 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about You Have Been Distracted Remix

03:47 <Schism> Thinking that eye colours in BNA are kind of meaningful.

04:00 * Ali blehs softly. "What's the best way to make 5.9M stone disappear?

04:17 <Alice> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eg__4qwVgAAro5A?format=jpg&name=medium Hum, that's a pretty cute looking abnormality.  Clearly an Aleph threat.

04:33 <Ali> Wee, going on six months of isolation, thanks state for forgetting about me as usual.

04:37 <DerpyBot> Twilight says she doesn't have anything in the library about that

05:32 <Alice> My world is warping and twisting.

05:33 <Alice> I am impaired.  I can see it in my own writing, how I feel, and my motor control.

05:33 * Filly_Nightmares lickies her own nosie

05:34 <Finwe> Morning, everypony!

05:34 * Ali sits on Dappled. "I tried Blue but it stalled for me."

05:34 <Dappled> VC or Rom?

05:35 <Ali> GB Cart

05:35 <Dappled> Physical. Shiny.

05:35 <Ali> Eeyup, still have my copy of Red/Blue/Yellow

05:35 <Dappled> Replaced the battery?

05:36 <Ali> Well I either use a GBC or I now moved over to the GB Pocket

05:37 <Tirek> A+

05:38 <Ali> Uhhhh

05:38 * Ali gives Dappled a copy of Red, clearly they're in the wrong version.

05:38 <Dappled> How dare you.

05:39 <Dappled> Blue has Vulpix/Ninetails.

05:39 <Dappled> Blue > Red

05:39 <Ali> And it learns Flamethrower

06:04 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Filly_Nightmares, PrincessRainbows; Messrs Cepheid, Tirek, Lumindia, Dappled and Nedemai.

06:04 * Finwe doffs his hat.

06:04 <Ali> I mean these are supposed to be AAA studios making these..

06:07 <Koopz> Ebin Games Store

06:08 <Koopz> soon available on your Android and Apple devices as well

06:09 <Finwe> I have Epic Launcher installed on this Apple device.

06:10 <Finwe> Not that I ever use it, I only hoard the free games.

06:10 <Finwe> Except GTA 5.

06:12 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

06:13 * ConfusionRift then huggles Ali.

06:13 * Ali hisses at Epic

06:13 * ConfusionRift also hisses.

06:14 * Dappled found pikachu before weedle...

06:15 <Ali> Now if it was Pidgeotto I'd be worried.

06:15 <Finwe> I wonder whether Pikachu was supposed to be called something else, but whoever was dictating the Pokémon names just sneezed amidsts articulating the name.

06:15 <Finwe> Pik--achoo--!

06:16 * Ali facehooves

06:16 <Ali> I always thought it was a Peek at you joke

06:16 <Finwe> !facehoof

06:16 * DerpyBot puts her hoof in Finwe's face

06:16 <DerpyBot> Now lick it.

06:16 * Finwe licks.

06:17 <Ali> yes you do

06:17 <DerpyBot> Ali: Sorry, I haven't seen stragiht lately.

06:17 <Ali> I spelled that wrong, thanks derps

06:17 <Ali> !seen straight

06:17 <DerpyBot> Ali: The last time I saw....will you cut that out already?!

06:17 <Finwe> :D

06:17 * Finwe patpats an Ali.

06:19 * Ali leans into pets

06:21 <Cepheid> Hum.  The body is able to move .  BUt I would not advise it.  Control is very... wonky

06:22 <PinkieShy> That was by pure luck now.. I beat the ronan mission but also died.

06:23 <PinkieShy> The game registered the win before it registered the 'You're smoked' death animation.

06:28 <ConfusionRift> Heh.

06:29 <Finwe> All advanced courses this autumn are lectured as distance studies.

06:29 <Ali> And then your zoom call will get hacked

06:30 <Finwe> Luckily I've had plety of time training sitting at home.

06:30 * Finwe hides under Ali.

06:30 <Finwe> I don't like this "new normal".

06:39 * Finwe patpathugs Ali.

06:44 <Dappled> Who's ready for Dragon's Dogma tv series?

06:45 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali some more.

06:46 <ConfusionRift> Dragon's Dogma... TV series... hard for me to not be skeptical.

06:52 <Schism> I like how, in Stranger Things, every single character is behaving in a rational manner based on the information they have.

06:52 <Schism> Slightly less impressed by how they refuse to share that knowledge.

07:08 * PrincessRainbows falls out of the sky and onto ConfusionRift. flap flap

07:09 * ConfusionRift pets PrincessRainbows.

07:12 * PrincessRainbows looks up at ConfusionRift like any little filly and grabby hooves

07:12 * ConfusionRift grabbies PrincessRainbows, and pets.

07:15 * PrincessRainbows giggles and hugs

07:15 <Finwe> Ali: NORDUNET has an own Zoom service that is completely separate from its 'Murrican counterpart.

07:21 <Finwe> With enchanced security and more sound terms of use.

07:22 <Dappled> Why don't we all just go back to using Skype?

07:24 <ConfusionRift> Hey look, Bloodstained on special... again.

07:25 <ConfusionRift> Also, no clue. There are a million other options that are better than whatever the schools choose.

07:26 <Dappled> Better yet, let's lose the visual part and use RogerWilco for pure VoIP

07:37 <Finwe> Dappled: Roger Wilco, as in Space Quest?

07:38 <Dappled> I remember it as a VoIP system that existed before skype and using it with Microsoft Flight Simulator

07:41 <Finwe> Well, the protagonist in Sierra Online's Space Quest game series was called Roger Wilco.

07:42 <Finwe> Which, in turn, comes from military radio communication.

07:42 <Dappled> Right, but you never say Roger Wilco, cause it's just repeating yourself.

07:42 <Finwe> Roger means "understood" and "Wilco" is short for "will comply".

07:42 <Dappled> And media just insists on "Roger Wilco" to irritate anyone who understands radio ettiquete

07:44 * Dappled is a horse, yes.

07:46 * Dappled is also a veteran.

07:47 <Finwe> :0

07:48 <Finwe> The only valid thing to say after "roger" is "out", I think.

07:48 <Finwe> Otherwise "roger" inclused an implicit "over".

07:48 <Finwe> *includes

07:49 <Dappled> Yes, but that's the end of the conversation if you say out. Basically, "I'm done talking and do not require a response"

07:52 <Ali> Seems like the 2k franchise likes to live in turd late

07:52 <Ali> lake*

07:52 <Dappled> Which one?

07:52 <Ali> Cause the copypasta has gotten so bad, people are really ticked

07:53 <Ali> Well Madden got crapped on, now NBA2k21 is getting the same thing

07:53 <Ali> I mean how hard is it to make a yearly game and not copy pasta 99% of it over?

07:54 <Dappled> That's the point of it. It's a sport game, it was never going to get anything new except for the names of players who may or may not be decently modelled.

07:54 <Ali> Wow, they even straight up lie in the description

07:54 <Ali> With extensive improvements upon its best-in-class graphics and gameplay

07:55 <Ali> I mean SM64 looks better than these turds

08:01 <ConfusionRift> Thing is... it's been like this for yeeeaaaars. I don't know why everyone's complaining now. Nothing has changed. It just looks a bit better, has different teams, and has a price hike. Oh, and loses value faster.

08:02 <ConfusionRift> And with the whole digital downloading thing, it's worse, since you can't resale it.

08:03 <Ali> Also the gambling like side to it

08:03 <Ali> Why play 21 when you dropped 1500 on 20 and lose everything

08:03 <Ali> Its people who sadly fall for this is where things went wrong

08:03 * Dappled chews on a stick.

08:12 <ConfusionRift> The only two I remember ever having fun in where Super Tennis and King Griffey presents Major League Baseball.

08:13 <ConfusionRift> But without P2, they're sad now.

08:20 * PrincessRainbows licks Ali and clutches like a plushie

08:21 <Ali> Last sport game I had was Nascar 05

08:21 <Ali> All the extra goodies were unlockable by PLAYING the game

08:21 <Ali> No DLC, no cash grab

08:21 <Dappled> Ali, Motorsport Manager.

08:21 <Ali> Just put time in

08:21 <Dappled> That's a sports game.

08:22 <Ali> Not a 'yearly' sports game

08:22 <Dappled> it's in the name.

08:22 * Ali baps Dappled and puts them on the paddock to manage her team

08:22 * Dappled tells the team to make a left turn.

08:25 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me of this old arcade game I played long ago. It was a rally game, but the controls were on an actual sand railer chassis, which reacted to the game. Don't remember the name of the game.

08:26 <Ali> Mario Kart AR *shot*

08:27 * Dappled misses HYDRO THUNDER

08:28 <Ali> Something Something Rolondo Soccer

08:28 <ConfusionRift> Hydroooo THUNDER!!! Choose your boat! (poofwen) Choose your track! (poofwen poofwen poofwen) (jams it to full, starts messing with buttons)

08:29 * ConfusionRift looks at Ali. "No." :P

08:29 * Ali sadmares all over ConfusionRift then.

08:30 * PrincessRainbows decides to grab her pacifier and curl up for sleepies. Night

08:31 * ConfusionRift sighs in relief. Changes channel to 4. "MUNDIAL RONALDINHO SOCCEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!" He can only hear a beep.

08:35 <Ali> I don't see how that's even a funny meme

08:37 <ConfusionRift> I guess just the unexpected part of it. Alas, after seeing it a million times, it just got annoying.

08:37 <ConfusionRift> That's how memes work.

08:37 <ConfusionRift> Mute comedy via hyperactivity.

08:39 * ConfusionRift feels old. "Meh, whatever... ... ...and got off my lawn, you whippersnapper!"

20:11 <Schism> In that it looks terribly difficult to contain.

20:11 <Alice> In that game, Keter is Aleph.

20:11 <Alice> And it's an Aleph level threat.

20:11 <Alice> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EhACG_0UYAIuVHR?format=jpg&name=large

20:11 <Schism> I'd bet on some form of mind control there.

20:11 <Alice> Apparently that's what happens when it breaches.

20:11 <Schism> Fun!

20:12 <Alice> Should get around to playing that game through and through.

20:43 <Alice> Doctor's appt done.

20:43 <Alice> Doc's got no friggen clue what's going on with me.

20:43 <Alice> He wants me to call my respirologist, get a letter sent off to the doc, then speeddail the doc again, and depending on the results, he'll send me off to the hospital.

20:47 <Alice> "I'm just glad you didn't name me Bob, or I'd be punching Dad every year on my birthday."

20:50 * Schism melts some butter.

20:53 <Alice> Gods damnit mother.

20:54 <Alice> She likes watching shows like Bones, and other shows involving disgusting scenes.

20:54 <Alice> I'm trying to eat breakfast. x.x

20:55 <Schism> Gotta love those shows.  Bones, House, whatever...

20:58 <Alice> Interestingly, I'm unphased by the corpses.

20:58 <Alice> It's when it comes to stuff on LIVING PEOPLE that's disgusting.

20:59 <Alice> For example, certain insects that... grow in living flesh.  >.>

20:59 <Alice> That stuff makes me sick.  But a decomposing corpse doesn't phase me.

20:59 <Alice> Well, at least, one on TV.

21:00 <Alice> If I encountered a decomposing corpse in person, I'd probably have a fit and call 911 ASAP.

21:06 <Schism> After poking it with a stick?  <.<;

21:07 <Schism> Me, watching Stranger Things: "Oh, wait, that's Millie Bobby Brown.  No wonder she looked familiar."

21:11 <Alice> Especially in the eye. o3o

21:13 <Schism> Looking back at Stranger Things, and I didn't realize quite how Will made all the right choices when pursued by a giant something coming out of the wall.  Run for the shed, with only one entrance or exit, and load a shotgun.

21:17 <Alice> Interestingly, trapping yourself in a room with only one entrance/exit is actually a bit smarter than you think.

21:17 <Alice> It limits the direction of attacks.

21:18 <Alice> If you have a sufficiently good weapon on hand, an force a frontal assault, you have the upper hand.

21:18 <Schism> Precisely.  Those D&D sessions undoubtedly helped.

21:18 <Schism> Unfortunately, against whatever-the-hell that thing is, a gun was not sufficient.

21:18 <Alice> And if you get it close to you before attacking, in the far corner, you can shoot it then, then bolt around and out the room and lock the door.

21:18 <Alice> I should check out Stranger Things.  Sounds like it'd meet my criteria for shows at the moment.  Monsters, mystery, psychological horror.

21:20 <Schism> Indeed!

21:24 <Schism> Pff.  https://www.awkwardzombie.com/awkward-zombie/getting-carried-away

21:25 <Alice> Interestingly that's what actually happens.

21:25 <Alice> Extra items are stored in the smallest cargo containers available.

21:26 <Alice> I mean, technically it makes sense to do that.  For purposes of ensuring it fits securely with the rest of the cargo, you don't want to use non-standard containers.

21:27 <Alice> What doesn't make sense though is the whole need for a single container for each individual item.

21:35 <Alice> That said, size of the cargo load is not the relevant detail.

21:35 <Alice> It's the mass.

21:36 <Alice> The game is more interested in the center of mass with respect to Sam.

21:36 <Alice> So you could stack a hundred small containers, of items weighing like, 0.1kg, and the game won't freak out about the aerodynamics.

21:36 <Alice> It's the mass.

21:38 <Alice> Though, I should test that now that I've thought about it.

21:38 <Alice> I can just craft a bunch of small items, stack them up, and see how they affect me.

21:46 <Alice> Er, her*

21:47 <Alice> Guess it's not 100% completely overwritten just yet.

21:47 <Alice> In any case, the intent is to test if there's any sort of allergic reaction to the grime/oil that builds on my skin.

21:47 <Schism> Heh.  Sometimes I've caught myself doing that. It takes a bit to get used to.

21:48 <Alice> This is actually like, the first time in over a month, so..

21:52 <Alice> Hum.  No reaction at the point of pricking.

21:52 <Alice> Then again, I took an antihistamine today, so..

21:57 * Schism rereads some of the adventures of Steve.

22:01 * Alice also introduces sister to Discord.

22:01 * Schism casts An Por on a door, then Ex Por. Voila, door is now unlocked.

22:03 <Alice> Heh.

22:03 <Alice> Hell of an exploit, that one.

22:11 <Alice> You know, that's nice to know.

22:12 <Alice> Number of active COVID cases right now in Ontario is only 1,200 or so.  In a province with a population of 14.57 million as of 2019.

22:13 * Ali wants to honestly know how the US has 4M active cases but only 1.6M have recovered.

22:13 <Alice> When it comes to stack traces, this is why I dislike C++.

22:14 <Alice> https://pastebin.com/MsLjPeub This is what a stacktrace looks like for a C++ program, after demangling.

22:15 <Alice> I'm gonna have to write my own demangler.

22:19 <Alice> The reason C++ is such a pain with stack traces, is that it "mangles" the names of objects and methods for purposes of compilation.

22:29 <Alice> So, for example, a method like "int printText()" might come out as "_ZprintTextE" or something like that.  It's tricky.

22:29 <Alice> There's a lot of logic regarding it, annoyingly.

22:30 <Alice> My demangler will simplify things.  It stops when it hits the "E" at the end.  Thus, it only prints the function name for me.  o3o

22:33 <Alice> Actually, it's closer to "_Z9printTextE."  It apparently includes the length of the name in the string.  I guess that's part of why an identifier can't start with a number.

22:42 <Alice> Yeah, I am not working on this right now.  This is something that requires planning.  Maybe a YACC file, too.

22:42 <Alice> It turns out the spec for demangling is quite extensive.

22:42 <Alice> And it's also different across platforms.

22:45 <Alice> For example, GCC uses the IA64 C++ ABI mangling setup.  Looks like LLVM/Clang uses the same setup.

22:45 <Alice> Meanwhile, VC++ uses it's own format.

22:46 <Alice> And while Apple Mac OS X uses clang as it's compiler, I get the strong impression that Apple being Apple, they use their own mangling.  Especially now that their choice of language is not C or C++, but something else.

22:47 <Alice> Appears their language of choice these days is Swift.

22:50 <Ali> Why is it every stupid time I start on a generic Factorio World, everything is so freaking far away.

22:51 <Alice> Random chance.

22:51 <Alice> RNG gods hate you.
