00:00 <Cepheid> ... Actually, ya know what? I'm done with this. I'm submitting what I got. This professor's impossible to work with.
00:00 <Cepheid> Previous assignments had the same questions, and students have been asking questions on the forums, and the professor has, in all assignments, given entirely different answers for what he wants.
00:00 <Cepheid> So, I am not even bothering.
00:01 <Cepheid> Because no matter what I do, it's not going to appease him.
00:01 <Cepheid> He's not even sure about what he wants.
00:01 <Cepheid> Man, I heard horror stories about this professor. As is the norm, I expected exaggerations, because students.
00:01 <Cepheid> But the stories seem accurate.
00:02 <Cepheid> His own example code isn't valid.

00:05 <Cepheid> This is, by the way, on top of all the other problems I've seen.
00:05 <Cepheid> Including not giving me the live lectures promised to me.
00:08 <PinkieShy> I just broke out laughing when i told this person in VRChat.. I have a game in my library called the haunted gas station
00:09 <Cepheid> Give me a few minutes to make some tea, ADra, and I'll hop on.
00:11 <ADragonDreaming> hai hai
00:19 <Finwe> Good evening, my little ponies.
00:20 <PinkieShy> iThink they are about to do something major out here possibly
00:20 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Angeline and Filly_Nightmares; Messrs Cepheid, Schism, PinkieShy, Dappled and ADragonDreaming.
00:20 * Finwe doffs his hat.
00:20 <PinkieShy> on my walk earlier i saw this green and pink tape on the cable boxes on the side of the road..
00:20 <PinkieShy> I wonder if they are about to add anything major or just about to do some updates to them
00:22 <Finwe> Starlight_Glimmer: Nononononono, in front of the sink, doing the dishes.
00:22 * Finwe noms on PinkieShy.
00:22 * PinkieShy sneaks to Finwe and boops
00:22 * ADragonDreaming doffs a cap.
00:23 * Finwe scrunchymuzzles at PinkieShy.
00:23 <Finwe> *scrunch*
00:29 <Cepheid> Oooooh this day is testing my patience.
00:29 <Cepheid> My cat chewed through my displayport cable.
00:29 <Cepheid> It's no longer usable.
00:29 <ADragonDreaming> oof
00:29 <Finwe> Time to replace it, then.
00:31 * Finwe noms on Cepheid's spare DP cable.
00:31 <Cepheid> That implies that, you know, I had a spare.
00:34 <ADragonDreaming> was it the cable that connected the monitor, then?
00:34 <Cepheid> So, I asked my dad two things: Don't give treats to Spitfire tonight, and no matter how much the cat sulks outside my room, he's not to come in.
00:34 <Cepheid> Yes.
00:34 <Cepheid> I had to switch over to HDMI.
00:38 <Cepheid> I'm game for MonHan now if you are, ADra.

05:01 <Schism> I'm browsing some frightening items, and would you like me to share one with you?

05:16 <Schism> I fear that I should have a night's sleep, too.
05:16 <Schism> Also, https://imgur.com/a/qQ5Gnpg
05:17 <Cepheid> No idea who or what that is.
05:18 <Schism> Princess of the kingdom going 'squee' over a mage kicking the summoned hero in the balls. (Because she's hot for the mage girl, that's why.)
05:19 <Cepheid> I assume it's from that Mage and Demon Queen comic?
05:19 <Schism> Indeed.
05:19 <Cepheid> She looks like she's missing a few brain cells.
05:20 <Schism> She is indeed suffering from affluenza. Ironically, the titular Demon Squeen -- er, queen, is much more responsible relationship-wise.

05:21 * Cepheid makes some more food to eat. Has been having an issue as of late wherein she's waking up really hungry.
05:21 <Schism> Got cheesecake... but not the right sort of cheesecake...
05:21 <Cepheid> I blame the new medication I'm on. Injection, this one. Not insulin. Semaglutide.
05:22 <Schism> For now, I'll have to just sleep...
05:22 <Cepheid> Meant to help with diabetes and weight loss, apparently. But I find it just makes me very hungry, and it makes my stomach churn when I eat.
05:22 <Cepheid> So I... kinda haven't been eating enough. Which is probably why I wake up hungry.

05:33 <ConfusionRift> Then again, jumped in a bit earlier than usual. Just a bit.
05:33 <Cepheid> Still.
05:33 <Cepheid> In any case, it's moot anyways. I can't do anything about it.

06:45 <ConfusionRift> AaaaYEEEEEE!!!
06:57 <ConfusionRift> I guess it's better than launching an alien ship straight into an asteroid, flinging myself dead into outer space.
07:01 <Cepheid> Heh.
07:02 <Cepheid> Me and ADra fought AT Zorah earlier.
07:04 <ConfusionRift> I was playing Outer Wilds a bit ago. And... yeah... hard to explore when you're on a time limit, and most things will kill you in some way.
07:04 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: good night everyone!)
07:07 <ConfusionRift> I still have not done any progress on that game, since last I played in... March, according to Steam?
07:07 <Cepheid> The key point though is that despite the time loop, you retain all knowledge.
07:09 <Cepheid> Which is the important detail, because once you learn how to access X, Y or Z, you can choose to do one of two things: 1) Die, to start the next cycle, and immediately bolt to the destination, or 2) Bolt there anyways, explore, and use what you glean to make exploration the next time around go by a bit faster.
07:10 <Cepheid> 22 minutes is an impressive amount of time to explore in that game. Plus, after a cycle or three, I'm not sure when, you can change some options to freeze time when doing certain things.
07:10 <Cepheid> Such as reading logs, etc.
07:10 <Cepheid> Mind, at around minute 19-20 or so, that doesn't happen anymore. It's when the music starts playing.
07:12 <ConfusionRift> Yes, but still. It gives anxiety. Just like how I was exploring this drone launcher (which is what you see when you wake up), and something happened that a chunk fell off and dragged my ship about a good two kilometers away from me. Had no choice but land on the planet (just solo freefalling), in hopes I can land on water, get pulled back up again, and catch the ship. It was too late though, and the big bang happened again.
07:13 * Ali plays song of double time, you now have 10 minutes
07:14 * ConfusionRift uses the same song, in hopes it can revert the effect. NOPE! It just cut time in half again. "5 minutes remaining..."
07:14 <ConfusionRift> I'm hearing bells already.
07:15 <Ali> DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY
07:17 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, it's cool to explore in this game, especially with a ship this versatile. Problem comes with every planet having a hazard of some sort. And figuring that hazard and what it does is part of it. That, and whatever alien tech you find, which can also kill you if you're too curious.
07:17 <Cepheid> Heh.
07:18 <ConfusionRift> Commanded the alien ship to go somewhere, and that somewhere ended up being straight to the sun.
07:18 <Cepheid> There... may actually be a purpose to that.
07:18 * ConfusionRift nods.
07:18 <ConfusionRift> I can see the purpose of it.
07:18 <Cepheid> I haven't quite figured it all out yet, but I'm sure you've noticed something orbiting really close to the sun.
07:19 <Ali> Ugh, to think, Motorsport Manager or Megaman 7
07:19 <Cepheid> But yeah, the game gets more and more confusing and twisted as you go on.
07:19 <Cepheid> There's one mechanic I really like in it.
07:19 <ConfusionRift> Just how the black hole isn't a black hole?
07:20 <ConfusionRift> That confused the heck out of me.
07:20 <Cepheid> Nah, it is a black hole. It's just it leads to a white hole.
07:20 <Ali> Was it a hole black instead?
07:20 <Ali> Or is is Goku Black? Sorry just watched the future trunks saga >.<
07:20 <Cepheid> While science tells us that anything that enters a black hole is crushed into oblivion and such, but...
07:21 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali. "I have no clue." :P
07:21 <Cepheid> There's currently no way to confirm that's actually what happens. For all we know, and there are some proposals of this idea, they lead to another location, a white hole, where matter is expelled.
07:22 <Cepheid> But while that is an interesting mechanic, no, that's not the one I'm referring to.
07:22 <Cepheid> I'd explain it, but I don't want to spoil it. :P
07:25 <ConfusionRift> There's another theory that projects black holes being something like worm holes. The original theory is that it absorbs matter and compresses it to a singularity, and that is converted to energy. The other is that it could lead to a corresponding black hole or an exit point on an unknown coordinate. Nothing can be proven by that either.
07:25 <ConfusionRift> And no worries. I'll figure it out... eventually. :P
07:26 * ConfusionRift boops Ali with MM7. "It's 16-biiiiiit, so it's gotta be good." :P
07:26 * Ali puts a metall hat onto ConfusionRift

10:02 * Finwe doffs his hat.
10:03 <Schism> ConfusionRift, brief synopsis is that the protagonist, Malori, is trying to climb up the tower of monsters to defeat the Demon Queen! But not to kill her, mind. Just to give her a kiss and seduce her for her own.
10:05 <Schism> (So intent is she that by the point the comic starts, all the tower guardians are on a first-name basis with her, and she even brings them snacks.)
10:05 * Ali flops over Finwe, Schism, and ConfusionRift. The nightmare of Megaman 7 is over.
10:06 <Finwe> Try playing it as a daymare, nightly mares tend to be sleepy.

10:06 <ConfusionRift> ^
10:07 <Schism> Still want to see Ali try Rockman & Forte, though I know that's unlikely to ever happen.
10:08 <Ali> 8 is nothing compared to needing 4 energy tanks, and S tank, and two weapon tanks to take down the final boss...
10:08 * ConfusionRift gives Schism a reproduction cart. "Have... fun..." :P
10:08 <Schism> 8.5, you need all that for Wily Stage 1.

10:09 <Ali> I've heard that game was poorly designed for Megaman
10:10 <ConfusionRift> You mean that is WASN'T designed for Mega Man? I agree.
10:11 <ConfusionRift> The game is (mostly) reasonable as Bass. It's just horrible with Mega Man. Oh, fun fact. (whispers) No E-Tanks.
10:13 <ConfusionRift> And the GBA version is trash, because of being zoomed in, so the screen is too small.
10:13 <Schism> You can buy regeneration, though! So you need merely crouch behind a wall for 5 minutes for your tank to refill.
10:16 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and if you die during a boss fight, and use up all the ammo for the weapon needed for it, you will not recover it when you respawn. EDDIE might be your salvation, or your curse. It's all at random.
10:16 <Schism> I'm sorry, what? This zamboni... https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1317232099938611201
10:21 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, saw that. Happened a while ago, but yeah. Find it interesting that no one made a big fuzz about it. The guy had to drive a ball of fire and no one bothered to check. The other two who were already in the ice just skating along, on top of the oil patch.
10:22 <ConfusionRift> Sounds like they were more annoyed at the fact that there's oil on the ice, and probably can't jump in because of it.
10:25 <ConfusionRift> Only one semi-concerned tweet. On... New York. I retract everything. They don't care. Probably the driver didn't care either.
10:29 <ConfusionRift> They made more of a fuzz that people were using zamboni in reference to the ice resurfacer, rather than as a brand. They even send a message with a "We didn't do this!" and everything.

18:21 <Schism> I live in a city of awesome. <3
18:22 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:23 <Cepheid> I'll hold off on the shower 'til after my mother wakes up. Don't want to wake her up from the sound of things.
18:24 * Schism giggles at the latest Mage and Demon Queen again. And hums.
18:24 <ADragonDreaming> JFYI there's going to be family events and such going on later today.
18:25 <Cepheid> No prob. I gots some studying to do anyways.
18:28 <Cepheid> Hum, Narga tracks I'm guessing.
18:30 <Cepheid> Yerp.
18:32 <Cepheid> Mmm, Glavenus, too.
18:33 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/Wukm7Mb.jpg Well, they finally ate the pig.
18:39 * Schism reads a story about a town of people who decided to go all Galt's Gulch. Then, it transpired, the bears decided to come in.
18:40 <Schism> Brown bears, grizzly bears, black bears, all of whom acquired a taste of free-range libertarian.
18:40 <Schism> a taste for*
18:54 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:55 <Cepheid> Man, I am going to have some horrible arthritis when I get older.
18:55 <Cepheid> Whelp, better get started on enduring pain.

19:09 <Cepheid> nVidia, meanwhile, is creating trouble for Linux.
19:10 <Cepheid> Their drivers aren't ready for Linux 5.9 yet. And won't be for a while.
19:23 * Dappled explains that he is a horse, fals over.

19:26 * Dappled is held up. Now he is above the soft grass. He must consider this.
19:26 * Ali pounces the Dappled and snugs
19:26 * Dappled is knocked back over. Has Ali snugs. Hello.
19:26 <Schism> 'In other words, people can simply waltz across our borders with illegal toilets supplied by ruthless Canadian toilet cartels headed by greed-crazed Canadian toilet kingpins who will stop at nothing to push their illicit wares on our vulnerable society.' --Dave Barry, from 1998
19:26 * Filly_Nightmares purrs and sits on top of Dappled
19:27 * Filly_Nightmares chews on Ali mane
19:27 <Dappled> My god, are those still available? I want illegal canadian toilets. I bet they have bidets.
19:27 <Ali> Schism, what a shitty story
19:27 <Ali> then again
19:27 <Ali> The US wasted 23M on a freaking space toilet...
19:27 <Schism> Zero gravity is a dangerous thing.
19:27 * Ali mango's Filly_Nightmares and drags Schism into snuggles too.
19:28 * Filly_Nightmares gnaws on mango and then sits on Ali!
19:28 <Schism> Also, hah. The whole kerfuffle was about the US banning 3.5-gallon toilets for a while as a water conservation exercise, replacing them with 1.6 gallon ones.
19:28 <Dappled> You mean the ones you needed to flush at least 3x more inorder to deal with the waste?
19:29 <Schism> Yup.
19:29 <Dappled> We are a smart society.
19:29 <Schism> The silly article written by humorist Dave Barry, which accurately describes the situation: https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1998-11-01-1998305189-story.html

19:31 <Schism> (This was during the peak of the Bill Clinton affair 'news', about which cable TV was constantly droning on and on. So Dave Barry had a good reason to say 'yeah, these stories are more important.')
19:31 <TwilightSparkle> The media droning on an on about a story. I have NO IDEA what that's like
19:32 <Schism> Heh.
19:32 <TwilightSparkle> I dare the damn media to go a week without saying one thing about this virus
19:32 <TwilightSparkle> Bet they couldn't do it.
19:33 <Schism> ... oh god. Some people are purest evil.
19:33 <Schism> "Two former detention officers and their supervisor were charged after an investigation found inmates at the Oklahoma County jail were forced to listen to the popular children's song, Baby Shark, on a loop at loud volumes for extended periods of time."
19:33 <Dappled> Yeah, that's about right for Oklahoma.
19:33 <TwilightSparkle> I think watching a marathon of Barney would have been a far crueler thing.
19:33 * Dappled hates this state.

19:38 * Dappled is a cough pony. Probably not as comfortable as usual.
19:40 * Ali nibbles on the Dappled ear
19:41 * Dappled ear flops.
19:44 * Angeline curls up in a ball and sips on a juicebox.
19:45 * Dappled thinks that is wise.
19:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> Ali: I mean space ponies need to go the loo somewhere, silly!
19:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> Dare you hold a sitting on the moon!
19:47 * Schism passes around some cherry vanilla walnut thumbprint cookies.
19:48 <Dappled> If Luna can do it, you can too.
19:50 <Starlight_Glimmer> Princesses don't poop, little known fact.
19:55 <Ali> Says the little shid
19:55 * Ali pat pats Starlight_Glimmer
20:00 <Starlight_Glimmer> Some horse is getting their mouth soaped!
20:00 <Ali> Well good cause there's no horses here.
20:09 * Dappled guesses he doesn't exist then.
20:10 <Ali> Dappled is a pony, not a horse.
20:10 * Dappled puts on stilts. What about now?
20:11 * Ali snerks, still a pono
20:12 * Dappled also angries at his roommate. We needed a new router so we got one and installed it. Unfortunately, he didn't confirm everyones connection to it before going off to drill and I can't find the packaging or instructions, so I can't connect his wife's computer.
20:13 <Dappled> And finding the appropriate settings in windows 10 is stupid annoying.
20:13 * Dappled misses 98.
20:14 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's wifi. What are you talking about?
20:14 <Dappled> He does stupid hidden network stuff.
20:14 <Dappled> So in theory I put it in the details manually and it connects.
20:14 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah you can get the SSID and PSK of any computer already connected.
20:15 <Dappled> But it doesn't help if her computer never connects.
20:15 <Dappled> And he has all the password nerd know how to change router settings.
20:16 <Dappled> And the fun thing is, that everyone elses devices, including her phone, seem to have taken the old network id/password and been like, yes, this network is the same, connect.
20:16 <Dappled> But that computer just sits over there being a butt.
20:20 * Dappled has the SSID, has the encryption, has the password, can't make it connect.
20:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> MAC filter enabled?
20:21 <Dappled> I have no idea what that is.
20:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> tl;dr: Network devices have a MAC address. It's unique, but can be easily spoofed and also privacy settings on recent mobile device OSes can change the MAC address depending on the network you're connected to. Routers can be setup to block unknown MAC addresses.
20:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> Doesn't actually stop anyone that knows what they're doing, but hidden SSIDs don't either and somehow people still use those.
20:25 <Dappled> Yeah he has our devices white listed... Or however you say an approved list. Fuck that's a strong possibility that he didn't add her to the list approved devices.
20:27 * Dappled can only be blamed for providing cash for router.
20:35 * Starlight_Glimmer lays down on Dappled
20:46 <Dappled> Well at least this will be a good week. New Red vs Blue tomorrow and Pokemon DLC on thursday.
20:46 * Lumindia applies hugs to Schism~!
20:46 <Lumindia> o vo
20:47 * Lumindia also applies hugs to Dappled and GlimGlam

21:15 <Schism> People say that modern media is too violent.
21:17 <Cepheid> Hackin', whackin' and smackin'?
21:17 * Cepheid murders a Tobi Kadachi.
21:17 <Schism> Cepheid: You might like it too. The song is, of course, Mack the Knife.
21:23 <Schism> "Maybe you shouldn't be humming a song about a serial killer while we're walking through Murder Forest. We've had to fight off a centicleur, two manticores, and an army of timberwolves." "The collective noun is 'a branch of timberwolves'." "NOT THE POINT."
21:24 <Schism> Er, tinderwolves. Either way.

21:59 * Ali beeps Schism nosie, Megaman 8 is down.
21:59 * Lumindia boops Ali nose
21:59 <Schism> Jump, jump, slide.
22:01 <Finwe> Good evening, everypony.
22:02 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and Filly_Nightmares; Messrs Cepheid, Dappled, Heartbreak, Lumindia and Schism.
22:02 * Finwe doffs his hat.
22:02 <Ali> Now onto losing the charged shot for two games.
22:02 <Finwe> o3o
22:02 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.
22:06 <Cepheid> Ah, that felt good.
22:08 <Cepheid> You know what I find annoyingly hilarious about this TV I use for a display, besides the refresh rate issue?
22:08 <Cepheid> Basically, it's own UI can cause screen burn-in.
22:08 <Cepheid> And if the display is turned off by the OS, it'll sit on the "No signal" window.
22:08 <Cepheid> Which burns in.
22:13 <Finwe> I don't see why anyone should have a TV in the first place.
22:13 <Cepheid> I originally intended to use it as a 4k monitor. These days though...
22:14 <Cepheid> It's more of an annoyance than anything else, and not because I can't manage 4k.
22:14 <Finwe> A couple of displays for computer and a video projector cover all possible needs.
22:14 <Cepheid> It reports itself as 60Hz, but actually runs at 59.94Hz, which is enough of a difference to cause all sorts of syncing problems in games.
22:15 <Cepheid> Plus, there's the burnin.

22:15 <Cepheid> Basically it seems to work by disabling the signal output, rather than say, actually turning the display off.
22:51 * Cepheid goes to hunt some Master Rank Jyuras.
23:00 <Cepheid> That was awesome.
23:00 <Cepheid> Me and a Great Sword user clutch claw onto the head, and we both fired off our slinger burst at the exact same time, launching the monster into a wall.

23:05 * Filly_Nightmares gnaws on Finwe
23:07 * Schism noms upon some creamed peas and ham on toast.
23:07 <Ali> That...sounds rather interesting
23:09 <Schism> It's kinda like just creamed peas on toast, but just with a meat element. The cream is in fact pepper gravy.
23:09 <Ali> Do you put gravy on everything over there :P
23:11 <Cepheid> Amazingly, yes.
23:12 <Schism> Pepper gravy, though, is comparatively uncommon up here.
23:13 <Cepheid> One of my favourite type of "sandwiches" is a hot turkey sandwich. Bread, pieces of turkey meat, another piece of bread, smother that sucker in gravy of some sort, usually a spicy one.
23:14 <Ali> Isn't that a manhatten or something? Oh right it needs mashed taters
23:21 <Lumindia> I have obtrarined rotisserie chicken
23:21 <Ali> Now shove it into a wall and let it age a few years
23:22 <Lumindia> but I'm not playing Castlevania

23:31 * Cepheid mysteriously has 13 Vaal Hazaak tails. These dragon tails are not sweet and creamy, they're more rotten, acidic, and likely to eat my innards.
23:39 * Lumindia passes out chicken to everyone
23:39 <Lumindia> o wo
