00:04 <Alice> Well, that's the first time I got killed in Death Stranding.
00:06 <Schism> [Delivery failed.]
00:08 <Alice> No kidding.
00:08 <Alice> It... also had a bit of a strong effect.
00:08 <Alice> Basically, centered at where I died, there's a massive crater.
00:08 <Schism> Impressive way to illustrate that. @_@
00:09 * Schism giggles at this version of Spider Dance.
00:10 <Schism> That's adorable, is what it is.
00:12 <Alice> I'm going to assume that the damage is permanent.
00:12 <Lumindia> no, YOu"RE adorable
00:12 * Lumindia boops Schism's snoot
00:12 <Lumindia> :>
00:12 * Schism squeaks. Nuu, is still a foodling.
00:13 * Lumindia picks up Schism, carries off to bed
00:14 * Lumindia needs a snuigglepone
00:14 <Schism> Lumindia: Death by Glamour is fantastic. <.<; https://youtu.be/srZdDAJbHfc?t=6740
00:14 * Schism siiighs, and goes along with Lumin then.
00:25 <Alice> Can't wait to see what kind of screwed up dream I have tonight.
00:27 <Alice> I have tylenol 2 in me, seroquel, and ativan, along with the whole myriad of other drugs I take.
00:27 <Schism> Alice: You've heard all of Undertale's songs. Have you heard the reprise in orchestral? It might help you sleep.
00:27 <Schism> Ooh. Can't help with *those* dreams, though.
00:27 <Alice> Nope.
00:28 <Alice> Also, fever and sick.
00:28 <Schism> Here's the reprise. https://youtu.be/srZdDAJbHfc?t=7042
00:28 <Alice> So there's that.
00:28 <Alice> A whole slew of fun.
00:28 <Schism> Mmngh.
00:28 <Alice> Last night's dream was just weird as hell.
00:28 <Schism> Eaten anything? Small things.
00:29 <Alice> Me and a bunch of folks went into a cavern to find someone who went missing. We ended up on a cruise liner. Underground. With windows that could view the surface. It then did a 180 and started sinking. Oh, and it was managed by a Willy Wonka-like person.
00:29 *** Quits: ArchPegasusMichael (Poni@Keep.In.A.Friendly.And.Pony.Place) (The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.)
00:30 <Schism> That sounds weird, and yet rather like an excellent game idea.
00:31 <Schism> Protagonist goes underground to find their missing friend, turns out that they stumble across a lot of weird tech and similar folks who have their own skills, and as they explore further, they assemble a unique party and devise means of better transportation, mining, and resources.
00:32 <Schism> Including other groups who have gone underground for their own purposes, including a Nemo-like entity who's a gentleman nonpareil and yet a constant tumultuous entity, not so much an enemy as a frustration.
00:33 <Alice> Heh.
00:34 <Schism> A cruise liner underground would also be fantastic. But the party wouldn't know where it will *take* them...
00:35 <Schism> "I'm sorry, but the path this liner will take is clearly listed."
00:36 <Alice> Sometimes, I wonder what my brain would do on LSD.
00:36 <Schism> I've heard it's indescribable.
00:36 <Alice> Heh.
00:37 <Alice> Well, the thing is, my brain's already broken.
00:37 <Alice> In numerous ways.
00:37 <Schism> Hi, perhaps you've never met me before, I'm Schism.
00:37 <Alice> LSD is apparently known to affect people differently when they suffer from various forms of mental illness.
00:38 <Schism> Well, I suppose I might ask a friend to observe our reactions to such a psychoactive chemical, but I'm loathe to do so on my own.
00:38 <Alice> Heh.
00:40 <Schism> Hm. Alice. Going on a weird ship, promised the adventure of a lifetime, and then it crashes halfway underground and the protagonist's boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever gets trapped somewhere. Protagonist assembles a team from the crew, keeps getting shunted elsewhere with *some* of the crew after finding a terminal.
00:41 <Alice> Schism, much as I like your ideas, my completion ratio for games and projects is still 0%. I would advise passing on these ideas to someone who can actually finish what they started. :P
00:41 <Schism> Who's to say that these ideas can't-- okay, okay, I'll keep them to myself. Maybe write a journal. :P

01:14 <Alice> Thank you C++ standard, you have taught me an abomination.
01:21 <Angeline> Is Discord being super slow for anyone else
01:30 <Schism> I have to say, seeing an entire orchestra performing Megalovania is a thing of beauty.
01:34 <Schism> Especially with the electric clarinet.
01:44 * Finwe hats on Angeline.
01:44 * Angeline sighs.
01:57 * Ali flops on Angeline, has had problems herself.

02:17 * Ali will only sigh in response.
02:34 * Finwe sighs as well.
02:46 * PrincessRainbows licks Ali cause she's not an old mare yet
02:46 <Ali> Wells its not all cracked up what you think it would be.
02:49 * Finwe thoughtfully noms on Ali's tail.
02:51 * PrincessRainbows giggles and boops Ali anyway, with a jalapeno popper cause horses eat that
02:52 * Ali refues, too hot for unicorn
02:54 <PrincessRainbows> really? my stomach thoroughly rejects anything remotely spicy, hope I don't die then
02:54 <PrincessRainbows> I kinda forget till I'm dying later with that
02:54 <Schism> Ali is not a unicorn who can eat spicy foods, so be kind to her. *offers rice and vegetables with soy sauce and honey*
02:55 <Ali> I can't stand those little red flakes they put on chineese chicken
02:55 <Ali> Little *yays* are hotter than hell to me.
02:56 <Schism> That's... just red pepper flakes. But if you can't eat 'em, you can't...
02:57 * Schism looks rather bemused by the curvature of her nails. "Okay, so I can't do long nails."
02:57 * PrincessRainbows offers hay with cheese instead and snuggles with the Ali
02:57 <Schism> At least, not right now.
02:58 <PrincessRainbows> tbh I'm not sure they were jalapenos, too mild for that
02:59 * Schism passes DashedRainbows some stuffed green peppers, with loads of rice, ground beef, and vegetables (especially tomatoes).

04:07 * Ali flops over RazorSharpFang
04:10 <RazorSharpFang> Ali, I mean, it can do that if its deprived of oxygen, it'll produce flammable methane.
04:12 <RazorSharpFang> I have thought about making experimental methane composters for energy generation before, but the land isn't zoned for that sort of thing where I live.
04:16 <Ali> Methane as a power supply?
04:22 <Schism> It is a natural gas, and that's better than letting it erode the atmosphere.
04:24 <Schism> If we could just figure out how to burn it as a power source, that'd be magnificent.
04:25 <Ali> We have nat gas power plants, how can there not be a methane power plant yet?
04:25 <Ali> Or is it too explosive when ignited
04:28 <Schism> Infrastructure costs, I would think, specifically the initial cost.
04:29 <Schism> Nevermind that the cost of the pipes attached to cow butts would be a little too severe.
04:29 <Ali> COuldn't there just be a fan or something that sucks up the methane as it rises?
04:30 <Schism> Processing adjustments are always a major issue.

06:09 * Dappled grumbles. Definitely time to get new keyboard. Connection between it and comp keeps failing.
06:22 * Dappled waves to Ali. Shows that he's made it to the elite 4 in White 2. Unfortunately, now is the time I actually need to start grinding, since I can't just rely on Ampharos to carry me like the rest of the game.
06:22 <Ali> Eeyup, though the E4 is much easier cause you can choose who to grind off of if you so choose.

06:48 <ConfusionRift> Nope. Had no clue.

06:56 * Golden now has Rhythm Thief, and SMT IV. Rhythm Thief is starting to throw his timing off which is odd for he regularly plays rhythm games.
06:58 <ConfusionRift> Man, just adding that brass section in Anticipation really sells it.
06:59 <Schism> It's excellent, yes. :3
06:59 * PrincessRainbows licks ConfusionRift and makes silly horse noises
06:59 <Golden> The sounds the usually would be synced to the music is what's throwing me off. For even with the prompt of when to press a sound plays that just throws my timing off.
06:59 <Schism> And now, Home. Which is... <3.
07:00 <ConfusionRift> Golden: Can't be as bad as the butchered Mz. Ruby's fight in the Sly Collection, Sly 1 to be specific.
07:01 <Dappled> How dare you ever say anything bad about Sly Cooper. All of those games were completely perfect.
07:01 <Golden> I mean I still complete it the rhythm segment after a few tries, but instead of usually getting the A ranks my ranking is now down in the Cs, Ds, and Es.
07:02 <Schism> Determination might be the best song in the lot, all things considered.
07:02 <ConfusionRift> I'm sorry. The remake collection wasn't. The timing was sooo off. It was the hardest to get through.
07:02 * Dappled disagrees!
07:02 * Dappled never played the remake. Fanboys instead.
07:02 <Schism> How dare you denigrate a game I've never played!

07:19 <ConfusionRift> It's a really good song.

07:20 <ConfusionRift> That's one that I can't think of it sounding well outside of it being electronic.

07:29 <Schism> How could they do anything but their best with Metatton?!
07:29 <ConfusionRift> They HAVE to. :P
07:31 <ConfusionRift> I'm sorry, but that's "The Adventures of Alphys". :P
07:31 <Schism> Oh hush. :p
07:31 <Schism> She's best lizard anyway.
07:32 <Schism> You'll get your CORE before too long.
07:33 <Schism> But first, METATTON! Because of course, Metatton.
07:35 * ConfusionRift hears the Casio. "I was not wrong." :P
07:37 <Schism> CORE is at https://youtu.be/srZdDAJbHfc?t=6643 . >>
07:38 <ConfusionRift> That's what I was referring to. There has to be an electronic element to work.
07:38 <Schism> Oh, then that's fair. :3

07:41 <Schism> We are listening to a symphonic orchestral run of the Undertale soundtrack. o3o
07:41 * PrincessRainbows flap flaps excitedly at Finwe
07:41 <ConfusionRift> Oh... we're in the castle already? Aaaaaw.
07:42 <Finwe> Me boops Schism with an omelette with onion, garlic and bell pepper.

07:44 <Finwe> Schism: I cannot say that I am.
07:45 <Schism> Ah; you might want to look it up sometime. As video game soundtracks go, this is a good 'un.
07:45 * PrincessRainbows yays, is a good little filly
07:46 * PrincessRainbows boops ConfusionRift with her pacifier before curling up. Nini
07:46 <ConfusionRift> Have a good one. :P
07:48 <Finwe> I've been practising The Secret of Monkey Island and The Elder Scrolls V soundtracks on flute. o3o
07:48 * Finwe plays The Dragonborn Comes to Schism.
07:48 <Schism> You might as well practice Undertale too, Finwe. o3o
07:48 * Dappled wants a harp.
07:49 <Schism> I would also suggest Stones, but everybody and their mother knows Stones anyway.

07:53 <ConfusionRift> Oh, have not skipped any, sir. :P
07:53 <Schism> Harrumph. And that's ma'am to you.
07:53 <ConfusionRift> Have not paused or skipped.
07:53 <ConfusionRift> Ma'am. Sorry.
07:53 * Schism boops ConfusionRift.
07:54 <Koopz> over the weekend i heard there's an instrument i'd actually consider buying
07:54 <Schism> Do tell?
07:54 <Koopz> the "EWI"
07:54 * Finwe noms on TwilightSparkle's tail.
07:54 * ConfusionRift boops TwilightSparkle.
07:55 <TwilightSparkle> Bleh, Sun Song on Burning Kak, must mean Storms is in Ice
07:55 <Schism> Koopz: Might as well buy an otomatone. o3o
07:55 <Koopz> i've been a saxophone fan for years but always refrained from actually getting one and learning
07:55 <Koopz> because you know... they're loud
07:55 <Koopz> and i don't want anyone to hear my horrible playing
07:56 <ConfusionRift> Sound insulation?
07:56 <Schism> ConfusionRift: My Worst Nightmare is quite a good cover. o3o
07:56 <ConfusionRift> It is. And it's as chaotic and glorious as it should.
07:57 <Koopz> :pog: the walls are paper thin
07:57 <ConfusionRift> Aaah.
07:57 <Koopz> i'd have to cover my entire apartment into egg cartons
07:57 <Koopz> yeah no thanks
07:58 <Koopz> the Otamatone doesn't exactly look like a seirous instrument
07:58 <ConfusionRift> There is a small sound insulated canopy, but it's pricey and not sure it's good for this situation.
08:00 <Koopz> i'd rather just plug in my headphones into the instrument and jam
08:00 <ConfusionRift> Ending was...
08:01 <Koopz> or maybe go a step further, hooking up that thing to my computer and play a concert in FFXIV using a MIDI-to-keyboard mapper
08:01 <Schism> And then there's more...~
08:05 <ConfusionRift> Here We Are and Amalgam REALLY changed. Like, it feels different this way.
08:05 * Dappled puts up Watchog to get out Terrakion. Now he has a wider spread of effective mons, hopefully.
08:06 * Schism listens to Hopes & Dreams. o3o
08:06 <ConfusionRift> Getting there. :P
08:09 <Koopz> aside from that thing being a bit expensive i don't know if i'd be satisfied with it
08:09 <Koopz> this insaneintherain dude on Youtube said it sounds best when not trying to emulate a real instrument
08:17 * Finwe boops Schism: https://musescore.com/pimplup/undertale
08:17 <Finwe> Is this from the aforementioned game?
08:18 <Schism> It is, yes. There was an excellent concert for the soundtrack not too long ago.
08:19 <Schism> An orchestral one, no less.
08:19 <ConfusionRift> Aaah, that was nice... wait. (notices an hour left still) Oooh?
08:19 <Schism> Well, there's the killer route, ConfusionRift -- and of course one track we all know~
08:19 <ConfusionRift> Of course, they must close this proper.
08:20 <ConfusionRift> Genocide after pacifism? Makes sense. That's how it normally goes... somewhat.
08:21 <Schism> Though it begins with the Battle against a True Hero.
08:21 <ConfusionRift> It's the first alternate track.
08:22 * TwilightSparkle cries at Schism, the WoTH in Well was an STR upgrade.
08:22 <ConfusionRift> The battle theme during Genocide is just Anticipation slowed down hard.
08:22 <Schism> It's a shame that Undyne the Undying only gets a little bit of song. ;-;
08:23 * Schism also pats the Ali.
08:24 * PrincessRainbows boops TwilightSparkle's horn for sleepy magic as pretty much everyday insomnia
08:24 <ConfusionRift> Aah, so that was the name of that song.
08:27 <Schism> Kazoo.
08:27 <TwilightSparkle> And guess what I find behind STR 3 Schism...
08:27 <Schism> One rupee!
08:27 <ConfusionRift> Yeeeessss, give me those credits!!! (gets shot by credits) Nooo, wait, that wasn't what I meant!
08:27 <TwilightSparkle> Hover Boots...
08:27 <TwilightSparkle> For Stone Shadow..
08:27 <TwilightSparkle> I really don't know what to say right now
08:27 <ConfusionRift> Ice trap!
08:27 <TwilightSparkle> I'm missing Magic and the Light Arrows
08:28 <TwilightSparkle> THe last Medal is Fire
08:28 <Tirek> Oh, I was confused for a moment.

08:34 <TwilightSparkle> Tirek, yes
08:34 * ConfusionRift hears the drum. Genocide route begins...
08:35 <TwilightSparkle> I'm only missing Magic and the Light Arrows
08:35 <TwilightSparkle> Ganondorf will tell me where the lights are, but magic, well I have no idea
08:35 <Tirek> Interesting.
08:38 <ConfusionRift> Ah, they combined Against a True Hero and Neo!
08:40 <PrincessRainbows> Guess I'll try to sleep anyway
08:43 <ConfusionRift> Huuuuh, that's some way to end it. :P
08:44 * ConfusionRift boops Schism. "That was really good!"
08:50 <TwilightSparkle> Volvagia was hover locked.

09:00 <Ali> Are in the Haunted Wasteland
09:00 <Ali> Which are FIRE LOCKED, which is also MAGIC locked..
09:00 * Ali still has neither of the two magic meters..
09:05 <Schism> It's... somewhere. Also, ConfusionRift: Glad I could provide you with a good soundtrack!
09:05 <ConfusionRift> :P
09:06 <Tirek> Ouch
09:06 <Tirek> I presume useful items wouldn't be locked behind skultula collecting
09:06 * Finwe hats on TwilightS^WAli.
09:07 <Finwe> Some ponies change their names like clothes. o3o
09:07 <Ali> Tirek, with the settings I have, 30-50 are hinted and they're all dead
09:07 <Ali> 20 was a sometimes hint and its dead
09:07 <Ali> 10 is also dead cause I checked it
09:08 <Finwe> Now you might point out that most ponies do not wear clothes, and it is indeed so, but this was meant to be metaphorical in the first place.
09:09 <Schism> Dear, most Finwes don't wear dresses.
09:10 <Finwe> Depends on what you mean by "dress".
09:23 <Ali> GTG had nothing
09:25 * ConfusionRift goes back to Bioshock. "Please, behave."
09:26 * Filly_Nightmares wigglewaggles into Ali
09:29 <Ali> And Magic was in Jabu Jabu locked behind WOTH Boomerang on Light Arrow Cut scene.. also I can't spell
09:47 <Ali> Well Schism...that seed was interesting
09:47 <Ali> Now that the pig is bacon I checked the spoiler log, just curious to where the other magic meter was
09:48 <Ali> It was magic locked in Shadow Temple

13:06 <Lumindia> '-'
13:06 <Lumindia> okay then
13:11 <Alice> It appears that quarantine is driving people insane.
13:19 <Lumindia> what else is new
13:20 <Lumindia> for me, other than having to wear a mask, not much has changed in my daily life
13:21 <Lumindia> I still commute to go to work, I still do my shopping
13:21 <Lumindia> I still occasionally go out and get fast food
13:23 <Alice> Nothing's really changed for me. If anything, the only thing the pandemic's affected for me, is that I want to go to a hospital, but can't.
13:29 <Alice> Lumindia, you ever see a black squirrel where you live?
13:44 <Lumindia> can't say I have
13:44 <Lumindia> why do you ask?
13:56 <Alice> Because apparently, they're extremely rare?
13:57 <Alice> And yet, where I live, they're more common than gray and brown squirrels.
13:58 <Lumindia> when you say 'black' squirrel, are we talking like, DARk dark black, or just 'a darker shade of grey'?
14:02 <Alice> Like, completely dark black. Like a black cat.

14:18 <Alice> Yeah. I've lost Internet completely. Twice thus far. I'm on my phone now.
14:18 <Alice> I'm in a bad spot because I have a lecture going on.
14:27 <Alice> Apparently, I can use my phone with this dock of mine.
14:29 <RazorSharpFang> Looks like it's back online?
14:30 <Alice> I'm not trusting my Internet right now. I'll rely on my phone for today.
14:35 <Alice> Interestingly, using a dock with my Samsung phone introduces something called DeX. It's basically a desktop environment for the Android OS
14:35 <Alice> That said, it's a bit finicky.
14:36 <Alice> But, it works?
14:38 <RazorSharpFang> Nice
14:38 <RazorSharpFang> It's a shame that there's no good x86 android anymore.
14:40 <Alice> Uh, Android x86 is still a thing.
14:40 <RazorSharpFang> No? I thought it ceased about a year ago?
14:40 <Alice> https://www.android-x86.org/
14:41 <Alice> It's still going strong as I understand.
14:41 <RazorSharpFang> Hrmm.
14:42 <Alice> It's just not keeping up to speed with current releases of Android OS, I think. Plus, there are limitations.
14:42 <Alice> Oh gods, u-verbs in -te form.
14:42 <RazorSharpFang> Last release was in May, that's a lot later than it was when I checked earlier.
14:42 <Alice> ru-verbs are easy. Replace 'ru' with 'te'
14:43 <Alice> u-verbs? u, tsu, ru -> small tsu followed by te. bu, mu, nu, replace with 'nde'. ku->ite, gu->ide, iki being an exception, turning to itte. su->shite
14:49 <Alice> All Samsung needs to do now is support setting up swap memory on an external SD card.
14:50 * Schism listens to a metal remix of C-R-O-W-N-E-D.
14:51 <Alice> I know that swap induces lots of writes and such, and drains the lifespan of SSDs, but...
14:51 <Alice> I'd rather have swap memory so that applications aren't closed ASAP.
14:54 <RazorSharpFang> Is this still in an android context?
14:57 <Alice> Yes.
14:57 <Alice> 4GiB of RAM is not enough.
14:57 <Alice> It's never enough for modern OSes.

16:47 <Alice> Hum. So that's what 8b/10b encoding is. It's a translation of an 8-bit value to 10-bit, such that the number of 1 and 0 bits is either exactly 5 and 5, respectively, or 6 and 4, or 4 and 6. The purpose is to prevent DC biasing.

17:05 <RazorSharpFang> No idea
17:06 <Schism> I imagine they could.
17:07 <Schism> What in the name of-- weekly, or even daily nerve blocks?!
17:07 <Schism> Or twice daily... https://twitter.com/TorontoStar/status/1310568772378546176
17:09 <Alice> ...
17:09 <Alice> I wonder if that's the doctor treating my mother, because she gets something akin to that on a regular basis.
17:09 <Schism> I don't begrudge the patient -- pain is pain -- but abusing OHIP like that to pay for a Lotus and a Porsche makes me want to throw that guy into the Ankh.
17:11 <Alice> And yet, it is common practice for people to abuse the laws.
17:12 <Alice> You know why I am having such a hard time finding a psychiatrist?
17:12 <Alice> Because many psychiatrists have closed up shop because the province closed a loophole in the law that allowed them to get more money.
17:12 <Alice> It's not just about funding.
17:12 <Schism> I know. It's about people being... well, not people you'd want to be treating you.
17:13 <Alice> And, I hate to place blame, but..
17:13 <Alice> A lot of this behavior among doctors is because of the US.
17:13 <Schism> Of course.
17:13 <Alice> In the US, you can make much, MUCH more as a doctor.
17:14 <Alice> So, to those in Canada, it hardly seems fair that they should be making so much less for treatments they could be charging skyhigh prices for in the US.
17:14 <Schism> The term 'brain drain', popularized in the 1980s, does still apply here.
17:14 <Alice> The US, effectively, set the standard and expectations for the money doctors make.
17:14 <Alice> In the rest of the world, it's not as bad. But with Canada being right next door, it's... yeah. The brain drain.
17:15 <Alice> I bet a majority of the psychiatrists I was referred to, who then closed up shop, have moved to the US because they can earn more there, now.
17:16 <Alice> I actually wonder how much of the anti-universal-healthcare activism is the doctors, and not the patients or citizens who "don't want to pay for other's healthcare."
17:16 <Alice> Because a universal healthcare system would cut into doctor's profits in the US.
17:16 <Alice> Not just pharmaceutical companies' profits.
17:17 <Schism> Do remember that the insurance companies have a major stake in stopping socialized healthcare, too.
17:17 <Alice> Mmhmm.
17:17 <Alice> But yeah.
17:18 <Alice> That said...
17:18 <Alice> I am not inclined to believe people when they say they'd never take advantage of loopholes for personal benefit.
17:19 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-fgj803.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)
17:19 <Schism> Everyone has their price.
17:22 <Alice> Truth told, the above is based on a purely logical examination of the problem. Our current society demands that we make money to live, therefore, to not utilize whatever legal or loophole methods are available, is tantamount to suicide.
17:23 <Alice> I could go further into the problem, but I really don't feel up to putting aside morality right now.
17:25 <Alice> There are times, when I wonder, what kind of person would I be, if I put aside my morality? What kind of damage would I do?
17:29 <Schism> All of us have the opportunity, every day, to throw those wooden shoes into the machinery.
17:36 <Alice> ... Zuh? What time is- ... I should go eat something.
17:36 * Schism offers Alice a bowl of pumpkin spice KD.
17:37 <Alice> Yeah no.
17:37 <Schism> Indeed. What in the name of Eris...
17:39 <Alice> These tortellini are listed as best before June 2nd. But I've had them frozen since as far back as May. Should still be good, I think?
17:39 <Schism> If they've been frozen, sure.
17:43 <Alice> Very well then. Pasta it is, for lunch.
17:44 <Alice> Especially since I'm getting sick of what we have available for cooking and food. Most of it's just garbage or junk.
17:44 <Alice> Not being able to go do groceries with the parents makes buying good food a bit difficult.
17:45 <Alice> I'm almost inclined to say "Eff it", take my bus pass, go to the Loblaws grocery store so I can pick up my prescription today because I have no guarantee my parents will bother to pick it up, and while I'm there, pick up my own food. Of course, I'd get shit for it from the parents because I really shouldn't go anywhere, whether I'm sick or not.
17:47 <Alice> Starting to think my mood swings as of late, as well as my inability to enjoy games unless forced, is due to being housebound for so long.
17:47 <Alice> I normally cope with this by going downtown for a few hours, wandering around, grabbing some pastries at a bakery, checking stuff out, etc.
17:47 <Alice> But, because ye know, pandemic and all.
17:48 <Alice> My parents are also slightly paranoid.
17:49 <Alice> And to be honest I don't blame them.
17:49 <Alice> I've had a continuous breathing problem for several months now, that won't go away for more than a week or two at a time. And my doctor keeps sending me off to get tested for COVID.
17:49 <Alice> At this rate, I'll be getting my fourth test in a month's time.

18:04 <Schism> Alice: You may, perhaps, have heard of Jones Soda, yes?
18:04 <Alice> I am familiar with it, yes.
18:04 <Schism> Did you know they do holiday flavours?
18:05 <Alice> I see where this is going.
18:05 <Schism> Oh, but wouldn't you want to try a delicious broccoli casserole soda, or a corn-on-the-cob soda?
18:05 <Alice> Okay, I wasn't expecting that.
18:06 <Schism> One year they even released an antacid-flavoured soda.
18:06 <Schism> https://www.thegreenhead.com/2006/11/2006-jones-soda-holiday-packs.php
18:09 <Alice> That strikes me as more of a "Bad gift" type thing.
18:09 <Alice> I mean, the desert ones at least make sense, as does candy cane and sugarplum.
18:09 <Alice> But the rest?
18:09 <Schism> Yes, the kind of silly prank gift. Mind, I'd still want to *try* them, if only due to morbid curiosity.
18:10 * Alice goes to get something to drink. Considers soda, coffee, water. Chooses water. Iced water.
18:10 <Schism> And hey, I've had a sublime ginger, peach and habanero soda before.
18:10 <Alice> Mmm.
18:11 * Alice checks out the Origins patch notes for NMS. "... Huh, so that's what that was. I saw a large building on one planet. It was a vault."
18:15 <Schism> Sounds like something you should rob.
18:19 <Alice> They're considered abandoned locations, so yes.
18:19 <Alice> Unfortunately, I don't recall where it was.
18:19 <Alice> I mean, the number of planets it could be on is small, given I've only explored 3 systems thus far.
18:20 <Alice> But even then... running into it again seems unlikely, since that would involve approaching the planet at the right spot.
18:22 <Alice> Mmm. Volcanos.
18:22 <Alice> Wonder how long before we can go Journey to the Center of the Earth.
18:26 <Alice> You can now get hit by meteors.
18:27 <Alice> Tornados. Gravitational anomalies..
18:27 <Alice> Lightning..
18:27 <Alice> Oh gods, they added insect life.
18:28 <Alice> That means I can encounter friggen giant bees.
18:29 <Alice> And of course, the one thing advertised early on but never actually implemented...
18:29 <Alice> Sand Worms.
18:31 * Alice curses and swears. Cleaning something up, when turning around, she struck her knee hard against the couch. Her hip now hurts like hell.
18:33 <Alice> Hum. I'll have to carry a signal booster with me.
18:55 <Alice> Man, that ice cream truck really gets a lot of business.

19:06 * Schism takes a swig of the eucalyptus and pine tar. "Nom."
19:07 <Alice> I actually don't mind buckley's. At least, the basic version.
19:08 <Alice> The Cough & Mucus variety though..
19:08 <Schism> They do vary.

19:21 <Alice> One small cut on my right lower leg. Ah well.

19:21 <Alice> Unrelated to shaving. Related to felines, and my general clumsiness.

19:23 <Schism> But my craving would be better served by just heading to the supermarket in that case.
19:24 <Alice> Meanwhile, I just want to take a long-arse shower, and scrub everything down with an abrasive brush or cloth.

19:25 <Alice> Yeah, I got a scrub brush on hand, and may just use that.
19:25 <Alice> I feel like I've got like, a few layers of dead skin that need removal everywhere.

19:27 <Ali> Magic in Stone Jabu, and its the only magic available
19:27 <Tirek> At least you got some magic. Now you can cast SPELL
19:27 <Schism> Ew.
19:28 <Tirek> Which does nothing but turn weaker enemies into Bits and Bots.
19:28 <Ali> And the other Magic was in Stone Shadow, so it was the logical first magic
19:28 * Ali boops Tirek, that's Zelda 2, and the Spell Spell spell is silly.
19:28 <Schism> Tirek: Shame it doesn't work on those damned Darknuts.
19:28 <Ali> The blue ones, ugh, stupid knife throwing jerks
19:29 <Schism> Thing about ordering online, I have absolutely NO clue how large an order of boneless wings is. I should probably just avoid it.
19:30 <Ali> So anyway to the point of it all
19:30 <Ali> You had Temple of Time as WoTH
19:31 <Schism> Whoops. :P
19:31 <Ali> That had Zelda's Lulaby on Minuette
19:31 <Schism> oh no. there's a cheesecake factory in town. and they deliver.
19:31 <Ali> But get this, that was not the WoTH
19:31 <Ali> LACS had the Rang
19:31 <Schism> Pfff.
19:31 <Tirek> Do they always deliver? 24 hour cheesecake power?
19:31 <Tirek> A disc of oven baked bliss?
19:31 <Ali> And Lord Bannana was needed to get Magic
19:31 <Schism> Tirek: It seems to be the case, yes.
19:32 <Ali> And this was after getting STR 3 and finding the Hover Boots on OGC
19:32 <Schism> It. They offer a carrot cheesecake. ...
19:32 <Tirek> I would like a cheesecake factory within delivery distance
19:32 <Tirek> Carrot cheesecake sounds a-okay

19:35 <Schism> I can order injera for delivery.
19:35 * Schism should not be browsing Skip the Dishes, she really should not.

19:40 * Schism tastes of spicy curry.
19:44 * Ali screams and runs away with her mouth on fire, unicorn can't stand spicy.
19:50 * Alice returns.
19:50 <Alice> That was a good shower.
19:51 <Alice> Scrubbed myself clean of any and all contaminants and dead skin.
19:51 <Schism> [20 seconds later...]
19:51 <Schism> Hum, supposedly HRT has the side effect of reducing skin oils. So that might be something to look forward to.
19:53 <Alice> Mmhmm.
19:53 <Schism> Yeah, I think Indian food is a thing for tonight. Don't know why, just seems like a thing. Spicy, of course, as the abyssal flames.

19:54 <Schism> Stormspark: Well, this isn't quite carolina reaper hot, but it's certainly sufficient to get a nice sweat going.
19:54 <Schism> Aw, darnit all to heck.
19:55 <Schism> I just remembered that Vijay's is closed on Sundays and Mondays, the exact days of the week I have off.
19:56 <Schism> I *suppose* I should instead order a few dishes from the local Chinese food place.
19:58 <Alice> Hum. Banana Man Sam, No Sky for Man, or some other game that simulates a market, like X4?
19:58 <Alice> I should do Death Stranding. Finish the game before I move onto another one.
19:59 <Alice> Really, really, really wish Kojima didn't force his choice of music on us though. It'd make the game a bit more enjoyable.
20:00 <Alice> Hum. If time passes when logging off(Not sure if it does), then that's a bad sign if it does.
20:00 <Alice> Because that crater is STILL THERE.

20:04 <PinkieShy> Of course.. Firefox doesn't load any website though the browser is open until discord is done loading.. :/
20:04 <Schism> The worst part of ordering Chinese food is that I keep looking at the menu and thinking, "Hey, that sounds good too..."
20:11 <Alice> I am not doing well.
20:11 <Schism> Okay. That's enough. Brain, stomach, get it together. 4 egg rolls, 4 spring rolls, beef with broccoli, General Tso's, Moo-shi, Szechuan Beef Lo-Mein, eggplant in chili sauce, curry fried rice, and lots of hot and sour soup is PLENTY.
20:11 * Schism passes Alice some curry to take her mind off it.
20:13 <Alice> There we go.
20:14 <Alice> I need to better learn the controls of this game is my issue. Or, worse yet.
20:14 <Alice> Switch to a controller.
20:15 <Alice> Except it doesn't look like the controller's any better for the issue I'm having.
20:16 <Alice> Okay, that was just stupidity on my part.
20:17 <Alice> I just tried to jump a small crevasse with 136kg of cargo on me.
20:18 <Alice> This went about as well as it sounds like it did.
20:18 <Alice> ... Also, apparently I am unable to jump if I'm holding onto the straps of my suit, good to know.

20:24 <Alice> Righty-o then, let's see what all Sam can do, here.
20:25 <Alice> When I'm holding onto a strap, the jump key causes him to... lunge? In the direction. If both are being held onto, he lunges to the right, then left. I'm not sure what, if anything, this does for me.
20:30 <Alice> Doesn't appear to be for anything. So it's likely just to indicate "you can't jump."
20:30 <Alice> Or, it's meant to deal with incredibly small distances. The kind of stuff you'd trip over.
20:32 *** Quits: Stormspark_ (stormspark@Pony-25m.dcd.98.172.IP) (Quit: Leaving)
20:34 <Schism> Food ordered...
20:35 <Schism> Lots of hot and sour soup, curry fried rice, beef lo mein, moo-shi chicken, General Tao's chicken, beef with broccoli, eggplant in chili, and lots of egg rolls and spring rolls.
20:35 <Alice> Hum, let's see... I need...
20:36 <Alice> 1560 crystals, 5600 metals, and 4200 ceramics for those sections of road.
20:36 <Alice> Metals are no problem. Ceramics might be a bit tricky. Crystals are easy.
20:38 <Alice> Man, I got all the metals at this one place already. Easy job there.
20:44 * Alice looks through Bridges links to see how other players are doing.
20:44 <Alice> ... If you're gonna cheat, at least make it believable.
20:44 <Alice> This player has over 3,000,000 likes, but is porter grade 290.
20:45 <Alice> For comparison, I'm porter grade 250, and I have ~100,000.
20:45 <Alice> And the average number of likes for a porter grade 300 player is about 450,000.
20:48 <Schism> Not entirely legit, then. :p
20:48 * Schism collapses on the floor. Is so hungry...
20:48 <Alice> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1310682801734332418
20:48 <Alice> No, not entirely legit.
20:50 <Alice> The censorship was me. It uses your Steam Name, so... yeah.
20:50 <Schism> Well, yeah, I figured.
20:52 <Alice> Bah, need to scrounge up 720 ceramics from somewhere off the road.
20:52 <Alice> Junk Dealer has some.
21:00 <PinkieShy> almost hurt myself really badly.. :/
21:00 <PinkieShy> Just went outside with a Umbrella for a few minutes to get fresh air
21:01 <PinkieShy> and walking around the dirt road was very slippery and I slipped almost landing on my foot twisting it..
21:01 <PinkieShy> I used the Umbrella to prevent the slip though in time so i recaught my balance.
21:01 <PinkieShy> So the fall didn't happen but i did slip which is enough scare for one day for me.
21:02 * Schism peers at the SkipTheDishes tracking app. "Oh, that's cute. It even has a GPS tracker on it."
21:02 <Schism> PinkieShy, glad you're okay. @_@
21:03 <PinkieShy> Breaking a arm or leg is the last thing i need lol
21:03 <Schism> Or even spraining your wrist, yeah.
21:04 * Schism peers at the car approaching her apartment. "Food, food, get here faster..."
21:06 <Alice> Hum, where's the next one...?
21:06 <Alice> Oh this is a bad idea.
21:13 <Lumindia> so my father found some more of my grandfather's stuff. One of things he found was the newspaper the day after the moon landing
21:14 <Lumindia> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/502170215082098718/760182577352671272/image0.jpg
21:19 <Schism> Ooh.
21:20 <Schism> You could probably hawk that for a lot, Lumin.
21:20 <Schism> The "Nixon Resigns" one underneath, too. :3
21:21 <Lumindia> honestly we're probably just going to keep it
21:21 <Schism> See if you can get a nice picture frame for them?
21:21 <Lumindia> but yeah, I don't doubt that papers from those historical moments would sell well to the right people
21:21 <Lumindia> and it's not just the front page, it's the whole paper for that day
21:22 <Schism> Makes me wonder what's under the fold. o3o
21:22 <Lumindia> My grandfather never really threw anything away

21:22 * Schism sips her hot and sour soup, and nods atta flavour of the mushrooms.
21:40 * Dappled flops.
21:40 * Lumindia pats Dappled
21:41 * Dappled leans against Lumindia.
21:41 * Lumindia snug snug miuchly
21:42 <Alice> "You made a substantial contribution to the reconstruction of this road." I made the ONLY contribution.
21:42 * Dappled stays home from work cause Covid test.
21:43 <Alice> Oh my gods there's another paver. Haven't I sacrificed enough of my resources to this danged road?
21:43 * Dappled grumbles cause he wants to start one of his other pokemon games, but if he does that he'll keep putting off grinding up to take on the elite 4 in White 2.
21:45 <Schism> Alice: Let's just be on the safe side and say 'yes, you're going to be spending all your resources.'
21:47 <Alice> Pretty much, I'm already working on it.
21:47 <Alice> Officially, other people are SUPPOSED to be pitching in.
21:48 <Alice> But I've only ever seen one road section constructed by another player, and most others... barely any contributions.
21:49 <Dappled> then you won't have competition for longest road and more victory points for you.
21:50 * Schism plonks the robber on Dappled's only stone tile.
21:51 <Dappled> Noooo
21:51 * Schism also steals one of Dappled's wheat, thereby.
21:57 <Lumindia> Dappled is acting kinda sus
21:57 <Lumindia> '-'
21:57 <Schism> list all tasks `-`
21:58 <Alice> I'vehttps://i.imgur.com/Gonz2uX.png So uh, yeah. I caused this by dying.
21:58 <Schism> At... least it's a very pretty crater?
21:58 * Dappled blinks. He has an ideal space astronaut.
21:59 <Lumindia> Look, I saw Dappled walk away from electrical where I found the body
21:59 <Lumindia> It HAS to be dapped
21:59 <Lumindia> dappled*
22:00 <Dappled> That body probably vented itself there to make me look sus.
22:00 <Lumindia> imagine if you die on a vent and it just pops up randomly somewhere else
22:00 <Lumindia> that'd be funny
22:00 * Alice noms on Lumindia.
22:01 * Lumindia is nom'd
22:01 <Lumindia> D:
22:01 * Dappled has never played.

22:32 <Lumindia> D: What's wrong Golden?
22:34 <Golden> Someone used my real name, and address to open a Best Buy Credit Card. I put a freeze on my credit, and I gotta call the hotline tomorrow that the associate had me write down. Tomorrow for the office is closed.
22:39 <Golden> I found out for I got an account statement. The person who did this used a different social.
22:43 <Alice> Ooof.
22:43 <Lumindia> oh jeez
22:43 <Golden> It's more than an oof in all honesty
22:43 <Lumindia> hope you get that sorted out

23:01 <Lumindia> shark, you say?
23:01 * Lumindia inhales
23:01 <Golden> As in RvB's spin off season?
23:01 <Lumindia> A
23:01 * PrincessRainbows grabs Angeline like a plushhie and curls up
23:01 <Dappled> I meant the time travel and literal gods they had multiple seaons based around.
23:02 <Lumindia> '-'
23:02 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Kotobukiya Limited Edition Twilight Sparkle Available for Pre-ORder [ http://tinyurl.com/yyczdbpo ]
23:02 <Lumindia> they did time travel back in season THREE
23:02 <Lumindia> back when it was still the blood gulch chronicles
23:03 <Dappled> They jumped forward in time and that was retconned to just them being stupid. I meant traveling forward and backwards in time at will.
23:04 <Lumindia> oh, so that was just the cast being dumb and THINKING theyt'd time travelled or something?
23:04 <Dappled> Yup.
23:05 <Lumindia> ... so what about church and the AI spending something like five hundred years doing a thing?
23:05 <Lumindia> and all the time loops and such
23:05 <Lumindia> did they ever explain what the deal with THAT was?
23:05 <Dappled> Not explained in show. Though I do have theories inferring what happened.
23:06 <Dappled> Mainly because by the time that they said "They only thought they travelled in time" Church was well and truly killed off.
23:07 <Lumindia> church was dead in episode 7
23:07 <Lumindia> "You shot Church you team-killing ********!"
23:08 <Golden> Honestly I can believe that they thought it was the future do to stupidity, but that doesn't explain a whole lot.
23:08 <Dappled> Yeah, that was Private Jimmy who was killed in that scene. The Church AI was possessing him at the time.
23:08 <Lumindia> ....???
23:09 <Lumindia> private jimmy?
23:09 <Lumindia> I'm HORRIBLY out of date with regards to RvB lore
23:09 <Dappled> That was season... 14.
23:10 <Golden> Private Jimmy was the one who Texas killed using his own skull from what I remember
23:10 <Lumindia> wasn't private jimmy beaten to death with his own skull?
23:10 <Lumindia> This doesn't seem physically possible~!
23:10 <Dappled> That was what Church put together out of his own fractured memories.
23:11 <Dappled> In reality, Private Jimmy was just some soldier that was used by Project Freelancer to hide the Alpha AI.
23:11 <Lumindia> the last part of RvB I remember clearly is the quote "I am Leonard R. Church, and you will fear my laser-face!"
23:11 <Lumindia> or whatever his full name was
23:11 <Dappled> So that was season... 7. Fairly certain of that.
23:11 <Dappled> We are currently coming up on 18.
23:12 <Lumindia> jesus christ, it's like the goddamn simpsons
23:12 <Lumindia> didn't they switch to full-on animated CG at some point, rather than machinima?
23:12 <Dappled> Nah. Though that may be the case in the new season, though I doubt it.
23:13 <Dappled> There's no need to go to full CG for people standing around talking when the in game engine is good enough.,
23:13 <Lumindia> I remember some scenes were CG'd
23:14 <Dappled> Oh yes, starting about season 6 on they began adding in CG action scenes, and half of season 9-10 that focused on the Project Freelancer prequel was entirely CG.
23:19 * Dappled knows the answers to all the RvB questions as he is a nerd with no life.
23:23 <Lumindia> and with that, groceries have been ordered
23:50 * Alice flops.
