00:15 <Cepheid> https://swordscomic.com/comic/CCXLVIII/ I want that sword.
00:20 <Cepheid> https://swordscomic.com/comic/CCLXII/ This one, too.
00:24 <Schism> Not a minute between calls all night. It makes things go quickly, but gods alive can I have a few moments?!
00:24 <Lumindia> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhs0Gk7E-U8 I should go to a store and just put this on loop on one of the monitors
00:24 <Lumindia> 'w'
00:24 <ADragonDreaming> oof, one of those nights, eh?
00:24 * Lumindia patpats Schism, then snugs muchly
00:25 <Schism> Definitely. I wonder how much of it is because our support line was closed yesterday.
00:26 <Cepheid> Huh, that was odd. Touchpad stopped working, then the system just up and froze.
00:27 <Schism> Peculiar indeed.
00:27 <ADragonDreaming> odd
00:28 <ADragonDreaming> by the way, Ceph, where are you in the Iceborne storyline?
00:29 <Cepheid> Need to kill Barioth.
00:30 <ADragonDreaming> ah, then I'm caught up now.
00:31 <Cepheid> I'll be available late tomorrow evening.
00:31 <Cepheid> I got schoolwork that needs doing.
00:31 <Cepheid> Slacked off a bit, and it's biting me in the rear, heh.
00:31 <ADragonDreaming> gotcha
00:32 <Cepheid> As for that crash, looks like it was bluetooth.
00:33 <Cepheid> Actually resulted in a kernel panic, so I was able to get information on what happened. Looks like when I picked up the bluetooth mouse and turned it off, I managed to time turning it off at just the RIGHT moment, that it caused a crash.

05:03 <Schism> This skill is, of course, Summon Chair.

05:19 <Ali> Then do you beat people to death with it?
05:20 <Schism> Nah, it just grants massively increased MP regen. So with that, and some healing abilities, you no longer have to worry about dying to trash mobs.
05:21 <Schism> Mm, there we go. Regenerate (Ability Shard) get.
05:49 <Schism> Detective's Eye lets you see through breakable walls, automatically collect items within range, and _doesn't take up a slot._

06:40 <Schism> 5/9. :< And then there remains the rest! But I hate petrifaction.
06:42 * Schism finally summons a chair after getting it to max rank, and stares. "Instant MP regen. Okay."
06:44 * Ali again tries again to give Schism wall chicken.
06:50 * Schism noms thereupon, results in -5 HP!

07:31 <Finwe> o7
07:31 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
07:39 <Schism> Augment CON will probably be totally useless after this run, won't it. o3o
07:39 * Schism wanders through the Desert zone.
07:39 <ConfusionRift> Oh nooo. There's more "magic" attacks in here than in many other areas.
07:40 <ConfusionRift> The desert area is terrible, that's for sure. Leading to a rather annoying fight.
07:40 <Schism> I'm eating enough food that... well... >.>;
07:42 * ConfusionRift eats Schism's food. All of it. Including some of the raw ingredients. Coughs on the flour.
07:43 <Schism> Lessee. Need 2 heavy cream - got that - and 2 crepe dough...
07:44 <Schism> Which needs 2 more dragon eggs. :<
07:44 <ConfusionRift> ...heh hehehe heheehhe HAHAHAAAAAA!!!
07:44 * ConfusionRift checks real quick.
07:45 <Finwe> Dragon crêpes?
07:45 <Schism> Sure. Main thing is that it gives me more LUK>
07:45 <Schism> LUK*
07:46 <ConfusionRift> Oooh, not the one I thought, but still a pain. Also... (whispers) 5% drop.
07:47 <ConfusionRift> With a luck boost- (facehoofs) You got luck boosters, so probably gonna take less time.
07:48 <ConfusionRift> Finwe: There are no chickens, so... I guess dragons will do.
07:49 <Schism> I also have 9/9 chairs, ConfusionRift. o3o
07:49 <ConfusionRift> Haaah! I forgot about that one. :P
07:49 <ConfusionRift> The good ol' sit and feel refreshed.
07:50 <Schism> How could you forget about the strongest shard in the entire game? :P
07:51 <ConfusionRift> I dunno why. Probably because I KNEW it was ridiculous, so I vetoed using it.
07:53 * Ali curls up into ConfusionRift
07:53 <ConfusionRift> The one I remember the most was Riga Storaema. It pushed me through the whole game.
07:53 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.
07:54 <ConfusionRift> Bow did a lot of damage, and there was another I can't remember that also helped me a lot.
07:55 <Schism> Ah, Luck+20 now. That'll help.
07:55 <Schism> Summon Bat is surprisingly good in the desert zone. o3o
07:56 <ConfusionRift> Actually, yeah. Bat is very good, especially when it can mostly ignore barriers.
07:58 * Schism nodnods. "And I should poke at the other familiars."
08:01 <ConfusionRift> We... there are some easter eggs with some familiars as well.
08:03 <ConfusionRift> *Well...
08:05 <Schism> Hmm, Va Ischa, and Va Schia...
08:05 <Schism> Need more Sapphires. o3o
08:05 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, and THIS! (shoots a laser of his hand)

08:14 <Schism> Oh no. Non nononononononono.

08:14 <Schism> Save time.
08:14 <ConfusionRift> What could possibly go wrong?
08:15 <Schism> Oh, not a boss arena. Yet.
08:20 <Schism> Ah, there's that boss arena. Defeated by bunnymorphus.
08:20 * ConfusionRift never really thought about doing that.
08:20 <ConfusionRift> Well, I did say I sucked at RPGs.
08:20 <Schism> Worked out pretty well. Just jump around and kick him in the face a lot.
08:21 <Schism> I can't say it'll work out EVERY time, but that one was a suitable elimination strategy. o3o
08:23 <Schism> "Curses you to sink in water."
08:23 <Schism> Oh, causes, not curses. <.<;
08:26 * ConfusionRift sees the new Bronco. "Wait a second..."
08:28 <ConfusionRift> Yep, they took that from a 2004 concept they made. I knew it wasn't new at all.
08:31 <ConfusionRift> ...why is it competing with the Wrangler? Oh... my... goodness. Yeah, don't care anymore.
08:31 <Schism> "Find the strange demon falling up."
08:32 <Schism> I ... guess?
08:33 <Schism> Ooh, Summon Bat rank 9.
08:42 <ConfusionRift> Okay, checking on an actual Vector W8, and to me it's the coolest thing once again. :P
08:46 <ConfusionRift> It bothers me that these kind of cars don't show up in car/racing games anymore.

09:18 <ConfusionRift> Guh, that sucks.
09:18 <Dappled> Yup.But I am home now. Home, where ice cream and pudding and applesauce can be found.

09:24 <ConfusionRift> (jet sound gets louder as the actual game starts) GUUUH! Mah ears!!!
09:24 * Dappled is also vaguely irritated at the disc. Cause I gots an anime, I'd been wanting for a good long time, and being the lazy person I am, I like dubs. Only to find out that they just did a kickstarter to dub it and I got a sub only copy.
09:25 <ConfusionRift> Blarg.

15:20 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-0he86q.mi.comcast.net) (Connection closed)
15:21 <Cepheid> Is it normal to trip and sutter a lot when speaking a foreign language you're learning, and yet have your inner voice read and "speak" the language just fine?
15:24 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-0he86q.mi.comcast.net)
15:26 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: Yes.
15:30 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-fgj803.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)
15:31 <Cepheid> Annoying.
15:31 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-0he86q.mi.comcast.net) (Connection closed)
15:32 <Cepheid> I can read Japanese relatively fine. My inner voice has no trouble keeping up with my reading speed. But when I try to speak, I continuously stumble over even simple words.
15:36 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-0he86q.mi.comcast.net)
15:36 <ADragonDreaming> Pronunciation is difficult and fluency in speaking only comes with long practice.
15:37 <Cepheid> Mmm.
15:37 <Cepheid> Funnily enough, I have the same problem with English, even though I'm fluent in it.
15:37 <ADragonDreaming> Especially if you're speaking conversationally as opposed to reading from something. Consider the difference between speaking to another person normally and reading from an excerpt out loud in -
15:37 <ADragonDreaming> yes, exactly.
15:38 <Cepheid> For some reason, when speaking any language, it always feels like I'm speaking faster than my mind is thinking.
15:38 <ADragonDreaming> The mental voice doesn't need to bother with all those tricky signals to move the tongue in exactly the right fashion to shape the vibrations.
15:39 <Cepheid> But when I speak internally, it's sort of the other way around. My internal speech is about on pace with my reading speed, which is much faster than my actual speech.
15:39 <Cepheid> And speaking internally is something I do all the time when reading.
15:39 <Cepheid> Even when I'm typing to write something out, I'll "speak" it internally. And yet, I have no trouble keeping up.
15:40 <Cepheid> But when I try to speak verbally, while typing something, I stumble.
15:41 <Cepheid> But then, I've always had problems speaking to some degree. I even had a speech impediment at one point that had to be corrected. So I wonder then, if it's related to the layout of my teeth and mouth.
15:41 <Cepheid> For some reason, my mouth is "too small" in a sense. Teeth are all impacted against one another, and either tilted inwards or outwards, or rotated. Apparently the speech impediment was a result of this, because I couldn't place my tongue properly against my teeth to pronounce a certain sound.
15:42 <Cepheid> Hum. That said though, thinking about it, I do have problems with Japanese pronunciation when speaking, with two particular sounds.
15:42 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-0he86q.mi.comcast.net) (Connection closed)
15:43 <Cepheid> つ, tsu. I trip over it, always. ら、り、る、れ、ろ, meanwhile... It seems, depending on too many different factors, the consonant either comes out as an English "r", "d" or "l" sound.
15:44 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-0he86q.mi.comcast.net)
15:45 <ADragonDreaming> I had to have a lot of orthodontal work growing up. I've had braces, a pallette expander, and had retainers all the way up until college.
15:46 <ADragonDreaming> Shape of your mouth could absolutely be contributing to speech issues.
15:47 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why my parents didn't look into stuff like orthodontal work to fix it all.
15:47 <Cepheid> Probably cost.
15:47 <ADragonDreaming> Probably.
15:47 <Cepheid> Dental is one of the few things not covered by provincial or federal health coverage here.

21:09 <ADragonDreaming> IRC is still fail for some reason?
21:09 <Ali> Hmm?
21:09 <ADragonDreaming> Harrumph. Maybe it's a port thing.
21:10 <Ali> IRC has been stable for me, other than my once a day problem
21:10 <ADragonDreaming> I've had repeated disconnects from IRC all day. Closed out of it for a long while and came back in and is still the bad.
21:12 <Ali> Wish I knew Adra, I'm not good with connection issues
21:23 <Cepheid> I'll be honest. Between the agonizing pain I go through with writing, and my writing's complete illegibility, it's a damned good thing that 99% of the time, I'm typing rather than writing.
21:23 <ADragonDreaming> Writer's cramp? Does it onset really quickly?
21:24 <Cepheid> Extremely quickly. After writing just a few words.
21:24 <Cepheid> I know why it happens.
21:24 <Cepheid> I use too much pressure holding the pen/pencil, as well as when I put it down on the page.
21:24 <ADragonDreaming> I have the same thing; for me it's an actual neurological condition, called Primary Dystonia.
21:24 <Cepheid> But even if I'm consciously aware of it, I am unable to prevent myself from doing it.
21:25 <ADragonDreaming> It affects small motor movements and I tense up without being able to stop it when attempting to write.
21:25 * Cepheid does some quick research.
21:26 <Cepheid> Yeah, I don't have that.
21:26 * Angeline bappy hoof a pony.
21:26 <Cepheid> Whatever it is, though, it's genetic. My sister has the same problem. Likewise, we both apply too much pressure when brushing our teeth.
21:26 <ADragonDreaming> The severity of the condition can vary widely. I have a cousin who is actually on disability because of it. For me, it's literally just the hand stuff.
21:26 <ADragonDreaming> And dystonia is genetic.
21:27 <ADragonDreaming> I'm very fortunate that it doesn't affect my typing.
21:27 <Cepheid> Same.
21:27 <Cepheid> In fact, I seem to be particularly lucky with typing.
21:28 <Cepheid> I've been typing for nigh-on 25 years now. I know a number of people who haven't even been typing for half of that, and have developed severe carpal tunnel. Meanwhile, myself? Not a danged problem.
21:28 * Ali noms on an Angeline ear
21:29 <Cepheid> I suspect it has to do with my typing approach, as I effectively, much to various teacher's chagrin, ignored the conventional typing methods taught in classes.
21:29 * Angeline bapbapbap.
21:29 * Ali keeps nibbling the ear on Angeline, out of range for baps.
21:31 <ADragonDreaming> I have been typing since I was 3, but only in the real fashions since 1st grade (my mom incorporated typing practice in my homeschool curriculum).
21:32 <ADragonDreaming> In my case, I do home-row it, though I tend to rest on awef rather than asdf. No carpal tunnel either, though I'm constantly taking my hands off the keyboard and flexing fingers and wrist
21:32 <Cepheid> ... Wait, since you were 3?
21:33 <ADragonDreaming> So my parents tell me. I'd go up to the keyboard and try to write out things. "What's the next letter?" They'd point, I'd type it, etc.
21:33 <ADragonDreaming> so, heavy quotes "typing"
21:33 <Cepheid> Ah.
21:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, my first real introducing to typing was through computers at school.
21:34 <Cepheid> So, I guess the earliest I started typing was about 5 or 6 years old?
21:34 <Cepheid> They had computers in kindergarten at my schools, so..
21:35 <Cepheid> But officially, I didn't really get into computers until the first PC came into the house, which was when I was around 10 years old or so.
21:36 <Cepheid> But yeah, because as a kid I was much more lazier than I am now, when it came time for typing classes, I took the lazy approach.
21:37 <ADragonDreaming> hunt and peck?
21:37 <Cepheid> Nah. I developed my own, less-painful-feeling technique.
21:37 <Cepheid> The home row approach felt... needessly complicated, and uncomfortable to me.
21:38 <ADragonDreaming> where do you rest your fingers if you're in the middle of it?
21:40 <Cepheid> With respect to this laptop currently, I rest my left palm on the corner of the palm rest. As for my finger's locations...
21:40 <Cepheid> Left hand, ring finger's sitting between 1 and q. middle finger between 2 and w, index between 3 and e, thumb's on left side of space bar, and pinkie finger is sitting on tab.
21:40 <Cepheid> Right hand...
21:41 <Cepheid> Index either on k, or between i and k, middle on o, ring on p, and pinky sitting around on one of the keys around the enter key. Thumb sits just above the mouse pad.
21:42 <ADragonDreaming> yeah, you still have reach to everything there.
21:42 <ADragonDreaming> To me that uncomfortably spreads my elbows.
21:43 <Cepheid> Interestingly, this is my most comfortable position by far.
21:43 <Cepheid> Any other setup tends to have parts of my arm digging into something uncomfortably.
21:50 <Cepheid> That said, in a few years time I see some problems occurring.

22:34 <Cepheid> Sanity.
22:35 * Schism sits in a chair, recovering from work. "Got an hour-long escalation not long before my lunch."
22:36 * Cepheid goes off to do some cleaning and then take a shower.
