05:41 <Schism> Clearly the best raccoon of all time.
05:41 <Ali> Well ORAS added the ability to find mons with egg moves

06:02 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
06:02 * ConfusionRift lays on his back, in the middle of the floor.
06:03 <Cepheid> Morning.
06:04 * Cepheid joins ConfusionRift on the floor.
06:04 * ConfusionRift stares at the popcorn texture on the ceiling.
06:04 <ConfusionRift> What's the point?
06:05 * Schism counts the popcorn dots.
06:07 <ConfusionRift> It's the least resilient texture, and it tears quicker. Not to mention that it's useless.
06:07 <ConfusionRift> It just leaves more gaps for dirt to gather, while using the ceiling fan.
06:11 <Cepheid> At the time it was invented, it appealed to a bunch of idiots who had no forethought.
06:12 <ConfusionRift> Then again, drywall. It looks ugly as is. But still, could look much better.
06:14 <ConfusionRift> This sorta taste came from people who thought breaded chicken was great, and it was just chicken and flour, nothing else.
06:15 * ConfusionRift shudders at it.
06:21 <Cepheid> My biggest issue with it is how easily it fractures, breaks, and leaves a layer of dust on everything over time.
06:21 * Schism decides to tank the 50/60/70 roulette in... the longest time.
06:21 <Schism> I hate tanking. ;-;
06:22 <ConfusionRift> Yep! With time, it all comes down on its own. And you can't really clean the dust on the texture all that well. Trying to will tear the texture even more.
06:22 <ConfusionRift> And removing it isn't fun. I would take a smooth surface any day.
06:24 * ConfusionRift doesn't know what he's doing, so he explodes as soon as he gets in the fight.
06:28 <Cepheid> I'm tired. I can't sleep. I'm sore. I'm sick. I'm going to go and kill a god somewhere, who wants to come with?
06:29 <ConfusionRift> A god? o_0
06:30 <Cepheid> What, you don't occasionally plan to attack and dethrone a god?
06:32 <ConfusionRift> Whaaat? Naaah. That be cray-cray. (gets this odd look by an old man) | "You do know those entities you killed in the ruins were-" | Hush. Nada. Zip. Can't hear you! :P
06:35 * ConfusionRift is reminded of Timespinner. "Might go back to it."
06:35 <Cepheid> In any case, I usually only target certain ones that have demonstratably performed one or more various immoral acts.
06:39 * Cepheid looks off to the side. "Er, excuse me a moment." She pulls out a sniper rifle, and fires it at something a kilometer away.
06:40 <Cepheid> Sorry about that. Another demon god started getting ideas.
06:41 * ConfusionRift looks through a spotting scope. "You missed the other one. Oh wait..." Grabs his gear a bolts. "Incoming!"

06:44 * Cepheid just continues quietly reading on laptop, sipping a weak coffee.

07:20 <ConfusionRift> There have been a lot of sads with Among Us. Even in joke websites, which is odd.
07:21 <Cepheid> It's around the pets, mainly.
07:21 <Cepheid> Especially because all the pets demonstrate some sort of perpetual sadness when the owner is killed.
07:23 <ConfusionRift> Oh, didn't know that part.
07:24 <Cepheid> Yeah, they'll remain at the spot their owner died, and often take on a different pose to indicate something sad.
07:25 <Cepheid> Like the mini-astronaut(?) sitting at the spot they died, looking dejected and sad, or the Stickmin figures on their hands and knees.
07:29 <Schism> Should have the Stickmin figures doing the Dancetraction.
07:35 <Schism> Hum. Now, to get AST up a fair bit...
07:44 <Cepheid> Heh.
07:45 <Cepheid> I guarantee, if the distraction dance was added to Among Us, it would turn out exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLOJj9kqk1w
07:48 <Cepheid> You'd be the imposter, and walk into electrical to find the ENTIRE CREW doing it.

07:58 * Cepheid reads Real Life Comics for the day. "Sweet geezus."

08:41 <ConfusionRift> Enemies dumped don't spawn immediately. They show up after a bit of scrolling. This guy found a sweet spot where the game spawns the enemy, so every time someone dumps an enemy on them, it spawns. There are so many enemies on screen, that they just buffer on his screen, gets killed, sent to someone else, gets killed off, and gets buffered again.
08:43 <ConfusionRift> The only way to deal with it is for the other players to NOT kill any enemies, and hopefully dumps the whole buffer. Problem is, they are all on floored close quarter areas.
08:45 <Cepheid> Facebook removes a company advertisement.
08:45 <Cepheid> Because it considered a picture of onions as overtly sexual.
08:46 <Cepheid> AI still has a ways to go for identifying things.
08:46 <ConfusionRift> Actually, looking at that buffer, he probably met criteria to get dumped enemies and just kept accumulating. Eventually, he found that sweet spot, and started sending everything back.
08:46 * Cepheid shows an AI a picture of a cat. Gets the response "Mouse." Shows a picture of a mouse. Gets the response "Cat."

14:08 <RazorSharpFang> "Your oral report is on the economy"
14:16 <ADragonDreaming> what's the topic this time?
14:27 <Cepheid> Talk about your hometown.
14:28 <Cepheid> I'm mostly just complaining about how boring and not quiet the city is, as well as how there are loud-ass squirrels and birds EVERYWHERE.
14:28 <Cepheid> I'm not selling this city very well.
14:30 <ADragonDreaming> hahaha
14:31 <ADragonDreaming> so, what you can do with that one, is frame it as a study of the issues the town has.
14:31 <Cepheid> Well, it's more than just that. I also have to describe at least one activity to do in the city, as well as express something that one is allowed, and not allowed, to do.
14:36 <RazorSharpFang> Well, Murder is not allowed.
14:36 <Cepheid> I was debating putting something ridiculous like that in it.
14:37 <RazorSharpFang> Tax Evasion.
14:37 <Cepheid> "You may not raise the dead."
14:38 <Cepheid> ... Random question.
14:38 <Cepheid> Does bringing a dead person back to life in an emergency or during surgery through various medical techniques make a doctor a necromancer?
14:39 <RazorSharpFang> No, because necromancy specifically requires the arcane.

14:45 <Cepheid> Huh, this is a storm.
14:45 <Cepheid> I thought it was just a bit of rain, but as I was reading, I noticed a flash of light from outside.
14:47 <Cepheid> Ow.
14:47 <Cepheid> My eyes.
14:47 <Cepheid> That one was relatively close.
14:56 * Cepheid takes a few minutes to clear head after coming up with script. Translates name of a MH song.
15:00 <Cepheid> The official translation of Zinogre's theme is "Spark of Blue." A literal dictionary translation has it come out as "A violent/bright flash of blue light"
15:15 <Cepheid> Thar we go, assignment done. Not the best, but... There's only so much time to work on a subject, think about what to talk about, then record it cleanly.
15:23 <Cepheid> Hum, just how far am I into Iceborne anyways..?
15:23 <Cepheid> Only six quests in.
15:28 <ADragonDreaming> hm. I would have translated it as "Blue lightning" personally.
15:36 <Cepheid> Yeah, that would work in this case.
15:36 <Cepheid> Literal translations generally tend to work poorly, unless it's meant to be like, poetic in some way.
15:37 <Cepheid> Like, "A Violent Flash of Blue Light" would have worked as a name, because it sounds somewhat... poetic, or more interesting than just "Blue Lightning" or "Spark of Blue"
15:38 <Cepheid> Alas, the usual reason for not using such literal translations has to do with constraints.
15:39 <Cepheid> Mind, they could have gotten over that constraint simply by implementing a "scrolling label" that's used for say, car stereo radio displays, which display song titles.
15:41 <Cepheid> The concern about text size is irrelevant these days. It's only relevant when voicework is a factor, as you want to keep the audio clips short. But plain old text? You're talking 30 bytes for "A Violent Flash of Blue Light"
15:41 <Cepheid> Given games are stored on drives in the capacities of a terabyte or more, nowadays, 30 bytes is less than a drop in the bucket.
15:42 <Cepheid> But then, I am reminded of Modern Warfare.
15:42 <Cepheid> Which has reached a staggering size of 250GiB.
15:44 <Cepheid> That games are reaching the 100GiB range is why I upgraded my SSD from 512GiB to 2TiB.
15:46 <Cepheid> I need to cut back on the coffee, methinks. Talking a lot again.

17:51 <ADragonDreaming> huh. yeah, that looks like something to do with the slinger.
17:51 <Cepheid> Yeah, they appear to be general use. They're used for getting around, rather than the slinger style approach.
17:51 <Cepheid> Which was, admittedly, of limited use in World.
17:51 <ADragonDreaming> aye.
17:52 <Cepheid> They seem to recharge faster outside of combat.
17:52 <Cepheid> So, as a result, useful for dodging, but not something you'll just spam.
17:54 <Cepheid> Also, it seems the minimum number on hand is 2, but this can be increased by collecting more around the field.
17:55 <Cepheid> Schism: Heh.
17:58 <Schism> Also Cepheid: https://twitter.com/KBSpangler/status/1313893020387999747

18:06 <Schism> Despite not working it. o3o
18:07 <ADragonDreaming> huzzah!
18:07 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/j6q1xy/2000_iq/
18:08 <Schism> And then I get next Saturday off, also paid because I'm using some vacation time for a three-day weekend.

19:06 <Cepheid> ...
19:06 <Cepheid> Whelp, I got a big fat zero on my second databases assignment, due to an unspoken requirement.
19:07 <Cepheid> Well, okay, not a zero. The unspoken requirement is worth 2 marks, apparently. Whateve.r
19:08 <Cepheid> Okay, nevermind. It is a spoken requirement. Just hidden in the document.
19:09 <Finwe> 1. Ignore the instructions 2. ?? 3. No profit.
19:09 <Cepheid> He puts a bunch of clear, specific requirements at the top of the document, detailing what he wants for each answer. Then in a paragraph below, he adds another requirement at the very end of the paragraph.
19:09 <Cepheid> It's on me in this case, but still.
19:09 * Finwe noms on Baldur's Gate 3.
19:10 <Finwe> The early access version was released yesterday. o3o
19:10 <Cepheid> It's not worth fighting the prof over. Besides, I won't get the desired result either way.
19:10 <Cepheid> Everyone in the hierarchy has thus far ignored another, more critical complaint, so I don't see how they're going to listen to this one.
19:11 <Finwe> Hmm, Illithid parasites?
19:11 <Finwe> Sounds eerie.
19:11 <ADragonDreaming> Baldur's Gate 3? Which of the systems is it based on?
19:12 <Finwe> ADragonDreaming: 5e.
19:12 <ADragonDreaming> Hm. Intriguing.
19:12 <ADragonDreaming> How long is Early Access likely to be?
19:13 <Finwe> "“Though Act 1 (the content for Early Access) is defined, Act’s 2 and 3 are work in progress. It’s therefore difficult to predict when 1.0 will launch. We anticipate Baldur’s Gate 3 being in Early Access for at least one year but we’ll have to see how it goes. It’ll be ready when it’s ready.” "
19:13 <Finwe> (sic.)
19:13 * Cepheid sighs. Is annoyed. Professor's right in this case. But doesn't want to accept this, on the grounds that in another area, the professor's being utterly inept and useless. Fairness and all that.
19:14 * ADragonDreaming pats Cepheid
19:14 <ADragonDreaming> I know this feel.
19:14 <Finwe> https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/
19:14 <Cepheid> We were promised live lectures. Prof isn't giving us that, so if we have any questions we want to ask during the lectures, well, **** us.
19:14 <Cepheid> School doesn't give a damn.
19:14 <Finwe> Thar she blows.
19:14 <Cepheid> TAs and prof don't give a damn.
19:14 <Cepheid> So, I'm kinda annoyed.
19:15 <Cepheid> I'm tired of fighting with this university.
19:20 * Ali squees as her first eight car train of copper is loading.
19:20 <Cepheid> Bleh. Now I'm gonna be too irritable to even take a nap.
19:22 <Cepheid> It's not even all that much of an impact on my final mark.
19:22 <Cepheid> It ammounts to 1.3%
19:22 <Cepheid> So please, brain, shut the [REDACTED FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE] up, and let me relax.
19:25 <Cepheid> Bleh. No matter the size of the screwup on my part, I guess the side effects are going to be much larger than they should be.
19:27 <Cepheid> See also: Nothing I can do about it now anyways, so just take it into consideration for the future.
19:27 * Schism nods. ._.
19:34 <Cepheid> ...
19:34 <Cepheid> He's just adding arbitrary rules, now.
19:35 <Cepheid> "Also, if the query can be expressed in one DRC expression, but more than one is used, 2 marks will be deducted."
19:35 <Cepheid> He teaches us early on about splitting up expressions for readability.

20:09 <Cepheid> Though, I should eat something, given I haven't eaten anything since 8 AM.
20:13 <Cepheid> Hum. Some spaghetti noodles with some alfredo sauce seems like a simple enough meal.
20:34 <Cepheid> I've come to a conclusion as to what my spiciness limit is.
20:34 <Cepheid> It's "too spicy" for me, if it lands me in a hospital.

20:51 * Ali flops over Angeline and Dappled, her mega project is nearing its testing phase. But still so far off.
20:52 * Dappled hugs Ali and Angeline. Friends.
20:52 * Angeline monch monch monch. She is too sleepy a little filly to have anything else on her mind but breakfast and sleep.
20:52 <Ali> Still need to hook up the iron, set up the processing to plates, then deliver to this unloading station...
20:53 <Ali> Four lanes of plastic, four lanes of copper and iron plates... I have no idea how well this can do with the circuits
20:56 * Cepheid ffeeds Dappled some cinnamon raison bread with cinnamon butter on top.
20:57 * Dappled oooohs and munch munch munch.

22:07 * Schism boops the Lumindia with a great big taco.
22:07 <Schism> A big fat taco, even.
22:11 <Lumindia> so beeg
22:11 <Schism> With PLD now at 70, I now have to pick what to bump up next. One of the two tanks? AST? BRD and DNC? Hmmm.
22:12 <Schism> OR focus on getting RDM to 80 so that all my casters are at that point...
22:13 <Lumindia> RDM
22:13 <Lumindia> :eyes:
22:13 <Schism> Something to think about later tonight. <.<
22:13 <Lumindia> Red Mage, do it
22:13 <Schism> If I AST, though, I get all my healers at 80!
22:13 <Schism> Oh well, I'll probably wind up doing trusts anyway tonight just because.
22:14 <Schism> Which, yes, means RDM.

22:59 <Cepheid> Gotta ask, why is the shotgun in video games such a satisfying weapon to use?
22:59 <Cepheid> Trying out the Prodeus Beta Demo, and I'm liking the shotgun the most.
23:04 <Stormspark> I never thought I'd look forward to a Warriors game but Age of Calamity looks like it's going to be really good
23:05 <Lumindia> Shotguns tend to be the workhorse weapon in most FPSes
23:06 <Lumindia> nice sounds, reliable at close range, satisfying reload animation and sound

23:15 <Cepheid> True.
23:20 <Cepheid> Only issue I have with Prodeus thus far is it's automap.
23:21 <Cepheid> Feels really sluggish to look around. Feels out of pace with the game. I'd prefer a "Hold down T to open map, then use mouse to orbit the view around the player, then release T to close the map."
23:21 <Cepheid> Current setup uses "Press T to open map. WASD and mouse to move around sluggishly, even with run key held down. Press escape or T to exit map."
