03:15 <Cepheid> Okay, this is getting stupidly ridiculous.

03:17 <Cepheid> I was utterly exhausted when I went to bed.  I shouldn't have woken up 5 and a half hours later wide awake.

03:18 <Ali> Sleep is wierd

03:21 <Cepheid> The problem is I'm hungry as hell.

03:34 <Ali> Then go eat you goof

03:35 <Ali> Also I had to give up copying this Factorio blueprint by eye.  Trying to keep up with what they're doing over a seven hour vid is annoying, and just one little whoopsie ruins everything.

04:00 <Cepheid> I did eat, the commentary was more with respect to "I ate a bowl of cereal, two bagels, and a small TV dinner."

04:00 <Cepheid> IE:  I was really, really hungry.

06:01 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

06:01 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:04 * Ali flops over ConfusionRift

06:05 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali, then huggles.

06:30 * Dappled exists.

06:30 * Ali flops over Dappled and nibbles on.

06:30 * ConfusionRift exists as well.

06:30 * Dappled ear flaps.

06:33 * Dappled grumbles. Missed out on getting a shiny Suicune cause didn't know that was a thing. Oh well, I'll just have to get shinies of the rest.

06:34 <Ali> Eh, I haven't touched SnS since before the DLCs

06:35 <Ali> Did they improve the post game or is it still as stale as ever?

06:36 * Dappled doesn't know. Is working on getting the legendaries for Crown Tundra. The birds were annoying cause they took a page from the legendary puppers books and sprint around the over world, and you have to chase them down.

06:37 <Dappled> The ones that aren't story related are in Dynamax adventure which requires you and 3 others to use rented pokemon to fight 4 pokemon, climaxing with a legendary, and is a guaranteed catch if you make it that far. but given limited pokemon selection and either npc or real person stupidity, it's not

06:37 <Dappled> guaranteed you'll take it down.

06:38 <Ali> So in other words

06:38 <Ali> The post game is still barren as hell

06:39 <Dappled> But you have to choose one of the pokemon you caught in that raid and not get all. You can only get one of each legendary so it's better to not take it if your shiny hunting.

06:39 <Dappled> As for that Ali, there is more story I haven't done yet.

06:39 <Ali> Story is usually temporary.

06:40 <Dappled> On the plus side you can grind dynamax adventure to get a currency so that you can buy hidden ability without having to grind breeding.

06:40 <Ali> But once say that and the other DLC is completed, are you still left with the same shell of a postgame, just with twice the amount of pokemon available?

06:41 <Dappled> There is some form of doubles battles that've been added but I don't know what goes into that.

06:45 * Dappled isn't sure what Ali got out of earlier post games.

06:46 <Ali> The Elite 4 was a more replayable battle system than Galar's

06:46 <Dappled> Okay? So a series of four relpayable battles with a higher level than original?

06:47 <Dappled> With predictable pokemon and movesets?

06:47 <Ali> Its better than 3 battles with the same issues

06:47 <Ali> The Elite 4 is at least 5 fights

06:48 <Ali> And in later gens, they even allowed the Elite 4 to get boosted after some time, making them tougher.

06:48 * Dappled thinks that the battle tower is a better option than that.

06:51 <Ali> You don't get XP for those facilities

06:52 <Dappled> XP is less of an issue than ever with the raid system, even if you discount the 5 star raids that are near impossible with npcs since you can just shovel xp candy down your pokemon throat to get it to a 100

06:54 <Ali> Yeah, I'm still not fond of those candies.

07:07 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

07:47 * Schism blearily awakens for a few. "Never been fond of those candies since they brought them out. They don't give EV."

07:48 <Dappled> But thanks to getting your pokemon jobs you can get them ev.

08:03 * Ali just wished her luck was bettter in some small ways in mons. She seems to always get the 0IV mons

08:05 <Dappled> Bottlecaps.

08:06 <Dappled> Cause bootstrapping up to a 6IV breeder is a paaaaain.

08:06 * ConfusionRift has no idea. "Yeppers!" Rolls around, still no clue.

08:07 <Ali> Those...I don't even know where to even begin with those..

08:08 <Dappled> At least its an option as opposed to the breeding program.

08:08 * Dappled is only going to breed for shinies from now on since nature, ability, and IVs are editable.

08:34 <Ali> But shinies are still terrible to find

08:34 <Dappled> They are all that matter.

08:34 * Dappled needs a living shiny dex.

08:35 * Dappled is also super stoked to get Keldeo.

08:36 * Ali still wants a shiny shaymin. Well she has one but fears its hacked and is stuck in an older gen

08:37 <Dappled> Yeahhhh. That's a thing.

08:37 <Ali> But sadly Shaymin is Mythical and is not a mon released

08:38 <Dappled> Keldeo and Celebi were originally mythical and have standard releases now.

08:38 <Dappled> There is hope.

08:38 <Ali> No, They'll probably do another Only on Pokemon Home distrubution like they did with the last Mythical

08:39 <Dappled> There are at least 2 former Mythicals. The older ones are far more likely to show up in future games.

08:39 * Ali is just waiting to see how much they're going to charge for the game with the DLC included

08:39 <Ali> If its $90 I'm not getting that

08:40 <Dappled> Surrender all material possessions to our capatlists overlords. /s

08:41 <Ali> ... $89.98  That's no deal at all Gamestop

08:41 <Ali> If you're gonna bundle the game and the dlc, there should be some sort of discount, not two freaking cents

08:44 * Ali blehs and flops off to bed.

08:44 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: Leaving)

08:44 <Dappled> No escape! Awwww. She escaped.

09:49 * ConfusionRift sighs. Was recommended another pain in the butt game.

10:04 <Dappled> Those get the most playtime thoughl.

10:05 <ConfusionRift> Well, depends. If I feel I can manage most of it, sure. Otherwise, they might just end up in... The Pit.

10:05 * ConfusionRift hears echoes. "The Pit-pit-pit-it." 0_0;

10:06 <Dappled> Hades keeps telling me there is no escape. So that must be true.

10:07 <ConfusionRift> But the exit door is right over there. (points at the EXIT)

10:07 * Dappled seems to end up back at the start.

10:08 <ConfusionRift> Oh... one of those. Of course.

10:08 <ConfusionRift> Wait... back to Floor 1? Noooo!!!

10:09 <Dappled> At least I have other games to help me. Ones that don't anger my flesh.

10:10 <ConfusionRift> That would be the cruelest thing, an exit door mimic.

12:44 <Lumindia_> awoo

12:44 <ConfusionRift> A wolf is among us...

12:50 <RazorSharpFang> As long as it's not in sheep's clothing, they're fine.

12:51 <ConfusionRift> (One of these wolves is a sheep.) ...what?

12:51 <ConfusionRift> Sheep going Rambo on us?

12:52 <RazorSharpFang> Or rather, it is specifically those who maintain their harmlessness that are the most dangerous.

12:53 <RazorSharpFang> They are either saying that specifically to deceive, or are foolishly unaware of their power, and thus may unintentionally end others.

12:53 <ConfusionRift> It be joooke. :P

12:54 <RazorSharpFang> Only the Jester is permitted to say the truth in the King's throne-room.

12:58 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)

13:01 * Cepheid flops in.

13:01 <ConfusionRift> Hallo.

13:04 <Cepheid> Hey.

13:05 <RazorSharpFang> Ugh, it's a hot and humid night tonight

13:13 * Cepheid lands on a comet. It promptly flies into the sun.

13:14 * ConfusionRift does the same, but his ship decides to go the Mars on its own, living him behind. 0_0;

13:15 <Cepheid> Heh.

13:17 <Cepheid> I had that happen twice.  From the looks of things, The Interloper approaches Giant's Deep on the third pass around, and the gravity field of Giant's Deep overpowers The Interloper's gravity, pulling you and/or your ship right off.

13:17 <ConfusionRift> That explains that situation.

13:17 <Cepheid> Thus, if you want to stay on the comet past that point, you have to be on the far side from Giant's Deep when it approaches.

13:20 <Cepheid> That said, I've noticed an oddity with the comet.  Not sure if it's normal, but I find that the ice on it only melts if you're on it when the comet approaches the sun.  Approach it when it's not in range of the sun, and the ice won't be melted.  I'm not sure if the ice "regrows" as it moves away from the sun.

13:21 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

13:21 <ConfusionRift> Every planetoid and object has its own property and gimmick. Just like how the Twins exchange sand according to their orientation.

13:22 <Cepheid> Only ever flows from Ash Twin to Ember Twin, actually, and it only starts a few minutes into the cycle.  It's why they're called the Hourglass Twins.

13:25 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

13:26 <ConfusionRift> Eerm... I'm pretty sure it goes both ways. The alien ship can be called on the platform on the larger planetoid, so I did and started messing around with the controls. I stationed it back to its platform, and suddenly noticed the sand slowly burying the ship. Panicked, blasted off, and hit the other twin. Dead.

13:27 <Cepheid> I've only ever seen it go from the Ash Twin to the Ember Twin.  Sure you're not confusing the way the line from the Ash Twin to the Ember Twin moves around the Ember Twin?

13:27 <Cepheid> Because the two planetoids orbit each other, but it's not a geostationary orbit, so the sand dumping slowly moves around the Ember Twin.

13:28 <ConfusionRift> I'm sure the sand was rising. Especially since I tried to mess with the ship, and happened twice.

13:31 <Cepheid> Which planet was this on?  Red planet or greyish sandy planet?

13:32 <ConfusionRift> Red planet.

13:32 <Cepheid> Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

13:33 <Cepheid> The sand comes from the greyish planet, and fills up the red one.  That's normal.  It's not the other way around.

13:33 <Cepheid> And yes, the pillar of sand can send you from the greyish planet to the red one.

13:33 <Cepheid> My advice?  Don't land on the equator.

13:34 <Cepheid> On either planet, for that matter.

13:34 <ConfusionRift> This was with the alien ship, not my own. I got little to no control as to how it works and does.

13:36 <ConfusionRift> Considering how the game is, I don't trust landing anywhere near the equator line. :P

13:36 <Cepheid> Oh, OH!  I see what the issue is now.

13:36 <Cepheid> Yeah, near the end of the cycle, the cavern the ship is in starts to fill with sand.

13:37 <Cepheid> The sand filling is basically just an orb slowly growing in size from the center of the planetoid.

13:37 <Cepheid> So, regardless of where you are, or physical plausibility, sand fills the entire planet.

13:37 <Cepheid> Even if the area in question is completely separated from where the sand appears to be flowing into.

13:38 <ConfusionRift> Okay, I misinterpreted the cycle. I thought the traded the sand. Like, it would constantly fill one side, and once done, move to the other. Nah. The Ash Twin fills the Ember Twin one minute into the cycle.

13:39 <Cepheid> Yep.

13:40 <ConfusionRift> But... I was sure I saw the Ash Twin filling at the very beginning of the cycle. Hmmm. I remember the sand dissipating on the Ember Twin, revealing it completely empty. THEN, it started to fill.

13:40 <Cepheid> It's basically an hourglass.

13:40 * ConfusionRift nods.

13:40 <ConfusionRift> I rememebr the log.

13:40 <ConfusionRift> *remember

13:40 <Cepheid> I mean, it's possible that the last remnants of sand from the Ember Twin are landing on the Ash Twin, and I just didn't notice it because I didn't check, but you'd have to get there pretty fast to see it.

13:41 <RazorSharpFang> What do you even do when it's hot and humid?

13:41 <Cepheid> Because as stated, a minute into the cycle, the sand begins flowing from the Ash Twin to the Ember Twin.

13:41 <Cepheid> Melt.

13:41 <RazorSharpFang> I can only melt so much

13:42 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, it's also a cycle timer. So, once the Ember Twin is filled, the cycle ends. In other words, baBOOOM.

13:42 <Cepheid> More or less.

13:42 <Cepheid> There's another way to get an exact time for when the cycle's gonna end, but it's a bit of a pain in the arse to reach.

13:43 <Cepheid> Most of the time I just use the color of the sun, and position of the comet, though.

13:47 <Cepheid> Fun note.

13:47 <Cepheid> Normally, if you try to leave the solar system, you freeze to death.

13:47 <Cepheid> There's an exception to this, though.

13:48 <Cepheid> If you're quick enough, you can locate and approach the probe that's launched at the start.  In doing so, you can travel outside the solar system indefinitely without dying.

13:48 <ConfusionRift> Open windows, move fans and point them outwards to push hot air out, have plenty of cold/ice water on hand, dress light (avoid double shirting and such) inside and use light colors outside, try to keep a bottle of water in the freezer at all times (the two bottle system), avoid clenching muscles when sleeping or sitting (keeping hands as a fist or keeping arms and legs bent inwards).

13:49 <ConfusionRift> Those are kinda the things I follow when it gets too hot.

13:50 <ConfusionRift> They don't work immediately or 100%, but they help a bit.

13:50 <Cepheid> Yeah, usually I go with fans, open windows, and light clothing, with lots of water on hand.

13:50 <Cepheid> The water is important.

13:50 <ConfusionRift> ^

13:50 <Cepheid> As someone who's gone through heat stroke, I really cannot stress how important the water is.

13:50 <Cepheid> You do not want to go through heat stroke.

13:50 <Lumindia_> hail hydrate

13:51 <Lumindia_> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKhHwpkL17o

13:51 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

13:51 <Cepheid> Dizziness out the wazoo, constant, unending nausea when you sit upright or stand up, and the mother of all migraines.

13:51 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Water and Water and Water Water

13:51 <Lumindia_> water and water and water water

13:53 <Cepheid> Heh.

13:54 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and try to keep unnecessary sources of heat off.

13:54 <RazorSharpFang> I feel like I'm going to drown from the amount of water I'm drinking.

13:55 <ConfusionRift> ...try not to over-hydrate. ._.;

13:55 <Cepheid> That is a thing too, don't drink too much water.

13:55 <ConfusionRift> I do remember. You kinda went through that before.

13:55 <RazorSharpFang> I think part of the problem is the computers in my room.

13:56 <Cepheid> Oh yeah.

13:56 <Cepheid> Computers definitely contribute to the heat.

13:56 <Cepheid> Given my PC as is, is enough to heat up my freezing bedroom..

13:56 <ConfusionRift> If there are systems that aren't used, might wanna shut them off. Properly, of course.

13:56 <Cepheid> Hello cat.

13:57 <Cepheid> We doing this again?  Right now?

13:57 <Cepheid> Spitfire, do you mind?  You're hurting my arm.

13:58 * Cepheid puts Spitfire on ConfusionRift's head. "Here, knead this instead."

13:59 * ConfusionRift is now a scratch mat. 0_0;

14:00 <Cepheid> Right, got water and food in me.  I'm gonna go take a shower now.

14:00 <RazorSharpFang> I have just taken a shower. A nice cool shower on a hot night.

14:10 <Cepheid> Oh, by the way, Rifty.

14:10 <Cepheid> In other exploration stuff, Noita.  I discovered something.

14:10 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?

14:11 <Cepheid> The world is, effectively, one giant map.  It's all connected, with those portals simply leading to another area on the same large map.

14:11 <Cepheid> I reached the ice region, and wandered off far to the east.  With a black hole wand, I was able to eat away at a wall at the far eastern side.

14:11 <Cepheid> It lead to an open area surrounded by dense rock.

14:12 <Cepheid> Which looked familiar to me.  So, I used wall climbing to climb up the dense rock wall.

14:12 <Cepheid> It lead up to the rope bridge over a pit in the mines.

14:13 <ConfusionRift> Huh, I see.

14:14 <Cepheid> So if you go the far east of the mines, cross the lava pit, and at the bridge find a way to destroy it(Or just collect the orb past it), then drop down..

14:14 <Cepheid> You'll be in the ice area.

14:15 <Cepheid> Of course, you'll be underpowered because you skipped over two hearts.

14:16 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)

14:16 <ConfusionRift> Also, apparently, by the west and east of certain areas, there are other biomes. Not necessarily from the surface or the coal mines

14:16 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

14:17 <Cepheid> Which means the world is far more varied than just directly downwards.

14:17 <Cepheid> Of course, the problem is that with no easy way to heal, using these other biomes to gain power is... unreliable.

14:17 <ConfusionRift> well, the issue is that to have access to some of these locations it's dictated by luck and/or the map seed.

14:18 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

14:19 <Cepheid> Best way to get across the lava lake is to either have a bottle of water on hand, or a rain wand.

14:19 <Cepheid> For the pyramid, you need something that can dig, so explosives or black hole, the latter which you will never spawn with.

14:19 <Cepheid> Same for the diamond in ??? on the surface.

14:19 <ConfusionRift> But knowing my luck, I'll probably have a slow wand with a bottle of pheromones.

14:20 <Cepheid> A bottle of pheromones might work, really.  I think any potion would suffice for dealing with the lava.

14:20 <Cepheid> Liquid + Lava = Rock, usually.

14:21 * ConfusionRift throws the bottle... it was more lava.

14:21 <Cepheid> That all said, those biomes must be either post-game stuff or related to the main game, after some point.

14:21 <Cepheid> Because some of them can be...  deadly.

14:21 <Cepheid> The pyramids, for example, contains monsters from the fifth level down.

14:22 <ConfusionRift> I've been wondering if there are any actual permanent upgrades. Or at least, consistent ones.

14:22 <Cepheid> I'm wondering that, myself.

14:23 <Cepheid> You can get perks outside of the Holy Mountain areas through the orbs.

14:23 <Cepheid> Or spells.

14:26 <Cepheid> Thing is, my experience with those orbs is that they are often guarded by impossibly powerful creatures.

14:26 <Cepheid> Like, the one in the Mines, past the lava lake.  Spawns a boss that breaks the rope bridge, which then murders the hell out of you.

14:27 <ConfusionRift> The only thing I can think of is to raid the coal mines fully, explore the surface by its entirety, and move to the lower layer and do the same.

14:28 <ConfusionRift> It will take a long time, but might give a better chance on dealing with said bosses.

14:28 <ConfusionRift> You can find chests with health and mana pickups. Ooooor, you can get shafted and get 10 miserable pieces of gold.

14:32 <Cepheid> Quick perusal of the game's steam page and videos suggests there's also a New Game+

14:33 * ConfusionRift points at the unavailable option.

14:34 <Cepheid> Mmm.

14:34 <ConfusionRift> Unlocked after beating the game. So yeah, technically NG+.

14:35 <Cepheid> Arguably, that'd let you go through more than one cycle, and progressively achieve god-levels of power.

14:35 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.

14:35 <ConfusionRift> In any case, have to sleep for work. Hopefully talk some more later.

17:41 <Cepheid> Hoi,

17:42 <Schism> Cepheid: What DOOM is that--oh, DOOM 2016.

17:44 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

17:45 <Cepheid> How was your morning, ADragonDreaming?

17:47 <Cepheid> Same with you, Schism?  Or were you sleeping until just now?

17:48 <Schism> I've been sleeping until just a few minutes ago.

17:48 <ADragonDreaming> I watched the church service, had stew and long conversation about important things with family.

17:48 <Cepheid> Ah.

17:49 <Cepheid> I've mostly been laying around in bed trying to stay awake.

17:50 <Cepheid> Also toying around with solutions for playing games while in bed.

17:50 <Cepheid> Again, Parsec to the rescue here.  Alternatively I use a gamepad and lay in bed.

17:50 <ADragonDreaming> Aye? I've done hunting lying down in bed myself.

17:52 <Cepheid> The problem for me is "laying down in bed" often involves laying on my side, quite literally.

17:53 <ADragonDreaming> Ah, yeah

17:53 <Cepheid> In any case, for the rest of the day I'm gonna sit upright.  Just cover up with a blanket and maybe get my tailbone cushion.

17:53 <ADragonDreaming> if you would like to hunt I'm game for it.

17:54 <Cepheid> Yep.  Getting set up for it.

18:07 *** Joins: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net)

18:09 <Cepheid> One of these days, I should stream.

19:03 <Finwe> Good evening, my perissodactyls of minute stature.

19:04 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Cepheid, Schism and Filly_Nightmares; Messrs Lumindia_, Starlight_Glimmer and ArchPegasusMichael.

19:04 * Finwe doffs his hat.

19:04 <Finwe> Lt Pony|28887.

19:04 <Finwe> o7

19:05 * Pony|28887 wavewave.

19:05 * Ali nibbles on Finwe ear

19:05 * Finwe ear-wiggles.

19:05 <Finwe> !plot

19:05 <DerpyBot> *wigglewiggle*

19:05 <Finwe> *wigglewiggle*

19:05 <Pony|28887> *wigglewiggle*

19:11 * Finwe noms on a ham and cheese sandwich.

19:12 <Finwe> Open-faced, with tomato, cucumber and kale. o3o

19:15 <Finwe> And made using rye bread, because that's the only one I usually have.

19:32 * Schism takes her last sick day of the year. "Oogh."

19:35 <Finwe> The last sick day of this thoroughly diseased year is the 31st of December. o3o

20:12 *** Joins: Dappled (IceChat9@Shady.The.Pet.Pony)

20:12 * Dappled should explain.

20:12 * Dappled is a horse.

20:50 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

21:13 * Ali sits on Dappled horse.

21:23 <Finwe> Messrs Dappled and PinkieShy.

21:24 * Finwe doffs his hat.

21:38 <ArchPegasusMichael> Finwe: Stadion Narodowy (The National Stadium) in Warsaw is being turned into field hospital, and there's already a joke about that

21:38 * Lumindia_ boops Ali-snootle

21:38 <Lumindia_> o vo

21:39 <ArchPegasusMichael> "So, where are we going to spend New Year's Eve this year?" "Likely in cozy home setting. Or with a bit of luck, on Narodowy."

21:40 <Finwe> Oh.

21:43 <ArchPegasusMichael> Is Dec 31 called Sylvester in Finland as well?

21:44 <Finwe> We usually call it New Year's Eve.

21:44 <ArchPegasusMichael> Ah ^^

21:45 <Finwe> But it is the name day of Sylvester in Finnish calendar.

21:46 <Finwe> Obviously originally after pope Sylverster I, who died on 31st of December 335.

21:46 <ArchPegasusMichael> Yeah, that's where the holiday's name comes from in some countries, including Poland.

21:48 <ArchPegasusMichael> There is a New Year Eve furry convention, I think in Germany, called Furvester

21:50 <Finwe> For not having been Catholics for about 500 years, we sure cling hard to the old feast days.

21:51 <Finwe> Ascension and Good Friday are still public holidays.

21:51 * Cepheid flops about angrily.

21:51 <Finwe> Among others.

21:52 <Finwe> Pentecost too, but it's always Sunday.

21:52 <Finwe> a Sunday

21:56 * Finwe hats on Ali.

21:56 * PinkieShy gets out a candy cane and nomfs on it

21:57 <Finwe> o3o

22:03 * PinkieShy hands Finwe a candy cane

22:03 <PinkieShy> I bought a box for $1 and almost half of them gone in just a day.. :3

22:13 * Dappled explains that he is a horse again.

22:21 <Cepheid> I don't know why you keep feeling the need to remind of us this fact, but alright.

22:24 * Lumindia_ boops Dappled

22:24 <Lumindia_> Yes, you are indeed a horse

22:24 <Lumindia_> of course

22:27 * Dappled flops over.

22:27 * Dappled doesn't either.

22:27 <Dappled> It's just a thing he does.

22:27 * Lumindia_ leans into Dappled, snug

22:30 * Cepheid commits atrocities against a high rank Great Jagras.

22:31 <Dappled> But is it the greatest Jagras.

22:34 * Cepheid drags a Great Jagras into the room. It's inside an even larger Great Jagras, which itself is inside yet *ANOTHER* Great Jagras, which is itself inside The Worldeater.

22:38 * Dappled truly. Greatest.

22:43 * Cepheid Tzi-Tzi's a Yaku.

22:51 <Dappled> Got to love that flash photography. Make sure he gets your good side.

22:53 <Cepheid> Never got a chance to flash.
