03:36 <Pony|49586> what are you doing
03:51 * Ali senses a very bored troll to come to a quiet channel.
03:52 <Schism> Seems that way.
03:52 * Schism flops in from work.
03:52 * Ali flops over Schism and noms tail.
03:54 <Schism> TFW I recognize a significant fault in the programming of our website right before logging off for the weekend.
03:55 <Ali> But its now Wednesday Schism, not the weekend
03:56 <Schism> I now have Thursday/Friday off.
03:59 <Schism> Wait, it's not Wednesday yet. Wednesday/Thursday off. Grr. :p
03:59 <Pony|49586> Yes baby
04:00 <Ali> It just turned Wednesday >.>
04:00 <Schism> So it's my day off. Nyah.
04:03 <Pony|49586> Oh Yes
04:08 * Schism eyebrows at Ali. "So, when you going to remove the Russian bot?"
04:09 <Ali> The bot is being harmless in the channel, and really I'm surprised Colgate or the others haven't boxed them away yet.
04:09 <Pony|49586> I don't even know ponies
04:10 <Ali> Then why are you here
04:10 <Schism> Hum. Then perhaps say hello, introduce yourself, see if the community works for you. Instead of random words.
04:11 <Pony|49586> that's what I think it is
04:13 *** Quits: Pony|49586 (Pony49586@Pony-dgq.i8j.127.92.IP) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
04:13 <Ali> Does this bot only randomly post random things ever...nevermind
04:13 <Schism> I'm going to honestly guess that is the case.
04:13 <Schism> At least I post delicious food.
04:14 <Schism> Er, not.that.i.am.a.bot.
04:14 <Schism> Wait, I'm not a bot, I'm a changeling. Mwehehe.
04:14 <Ali> Close enough
04:14 * Ali gets bucking shoes on~
04:14 * Schism grumpycheeks at Ali.
04:14 * Ali pat pats Schism, unicorn is teasing
04:14 *** Joins: Pony|17700 (Pony17700@Pony-dgq.i8j.127.92.IP)
04:15 * Schism pats Ali, then points her towards the obvious bot.
04:15 <Pony|17700> expensive
04:15 <Ali> Oh look, they're back
04:15 <Ali> Are you set to say a random thing every few minutes?
04:16 <Schism> If so, that has to be the laziest eggdrop ever.
04:16 <Ali> Eggdrop?
04:16 <Ali> Is this some botcode or something?
04:17 <Schism> DerpyBot is an eggdrop bot.
04:17 <Schism> This one is... less functional.
04:18 * Ali drops an egg on DerpyBot. "This doesn't seem to be working."
04:18 <Schism> !eggdrop
04:18 <Schism> Hum. Oh well.
04:18 <Pony|17700> can not be
04:18 <Schism> Yeah, I suggest an IP ban.
04:18 <Ali> See, the sentence structure makes no sense to the current chat.
04:19 * Ali pokes the bot. "Why, it seems harmless."
04:19 <Schism> It does if it's a small selection of things we've said since it joined, perhaps.
04:19 <Pony|17700> so what is conceived
04:19 <Ali> I'm sure none of us has said that line today
04:20 <Schism> I've seen this type before. Hatbots, they're called. If you don't eliminate them, fast, they'll grow sentient and try to kill Mann.
04:20 <Ali> Hatbots?
04:20 * Ali puts a hat on DerpyBot. "This still isn't working."
04:21 <Pony|17700> that's all clear that's what I'm saying and that's it
04:21 <Ali> Oh has the bot grown a mouth now?
04:21 * Ali is having fun with this one~
04:22 <Schism> I'm telling you, Ali, that's not a good idea.
04:23 <Pony|17700> Oh you're real aren't you
04:23 <Schism> Cepheid, back me up, will you?
04:23 *** Ali sets mode: +b *!*@Pony-dgq.i8j.127.92.IP
04:23 *** Pony|17700 was kicked by Ali (Ali)
04:23 <Schism> Thank you...
04:23 <Ali> There, happy? WHy do I need to get rid of it so fast?
04:23 * Ali rarely gets to toy thing things anymore.
04:24 <Cepheid> It only encourages them, and over time, they may start to say worse and worse things.
04:24 <Schism> They're like pathological furbies.
04:24 <Ali> If they start saying the wrong things I get rid of faster
04:25 * Ali has had a history of people going WHYBAN when you swing early.
04:27 <Schism> In this case, I don't think anyone's going to be upset at you kicking a nascent eggdrop bot which clearly didn't have any interesting reason for being.
04:27 <Ali> I had my eye on that thing since yesterday
04:28 <Schism> I bet it's still around. You could probably feed it half the EQD logs before it popped.
04:30 <Ali> Doesn't look like it, it only appeared yesterday
04:38 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/jjejkq/what_happens_when_you_have_heated_tile_flooring/
04:43 <Schism> This meme is amusing me. https://twitter.com/theogrin/status/1321310157729660935
04:45 <Cepheid> Heh.
04:46 * Cepheid serves Schism some STEAK. Squid Tentacles, Eggplant And Ketchup. o3o
04:49 <Schism> Hm. Well, I'm kind of leery on the ketchup, but I'll try anything once.
04:55 <Cepheid> Cat, why is your tail wet?
04:57 <Cepheid> https://foxtrot.com/2020/10/04/starving-art/ I could go for a burritoblerone.
05:07 <Schism> Wouldn't you prefer a delicious chupaqueso?
05:12 <Cepheid> Not even sure what that is.

05:15 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/suichan_memory/status/1306635313758912514
05:17 <Schism> Cepheid, a chupaqueso starts with cheese. Shredded cheese. And a nice, hot frying pan.
05:18 <Cepheid> Ah.
05:18 <Schism> Sprinkle cheese into the pan, form it into a shell, then wrap it around more cheese and nom. That's it.
05:20 <Schism> Cepheid: have you any private islands upon which you wish Kim Kardashian would land?
05:20 <Cepheid> No.
05:21 <Schism> Do you _know of_ any private islands with villains sufficiently evil that you would inflict her thereupon?
05:21 <Cepheid> No.
05:21 <Schism> Do you know of any black hole ships...
05:22 * Schism supposes that she'll have to figure it out herself.
05:47 * Schism then dissolves into sleep.

07:34 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
08:18 <Schism> hnnngh.
08:22 <Schism> Also, hi.
08:22 <Schism> So, ConfusionRift. After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.
08:24 <Schism> ( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/e/e3/Rockfort2.png/revision/latest?cb=20120908143341 )
08:24 <ConfusionRift> Nice... I mean the whole trip thing.
08:25 <Schism> It's a quote from Kim Kardashian, the very epitome of hateful rich.
08:25 <ConfusionRift> Oh...
08:25 <ConfusionRift> I thought they could implode themselves in said island.
08:25 <Schism> And so led to things like this. https://twitter.com/theogrin/status/1321316538889228288
08:26 <Schism> And yes. <.<
08:27 <Schism> I also had to use this one on general principles. https://twitter.com/theogrin/status/1321312914591129602
08:31 <ConfusionRift> I was gonna suggest this. :P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desecheo_Island
08:33 <Schism> I have an even better option.
08:34 <ConfusionRift> Just take their boat and let them swim. They'll either take a shorter swim and go to P.R., or go the long way to Dominican Republic and REALLY get lost.
08:35 <Schism> Even better than that.
08:35 <Schism> https://twitter.com/theogrin/status/1321369871930806273
08:39 <ConfusionRift> Screw it. I would go to Desecheo Island. I just have to watch for rats, pirates, and the occasional monkey. Could set a radio there, since others have. :P
08:43 <Schism> And the three lizards.
08:43 * Schism looks up. "And their momma."

10:48 <Schism> 'Rifty, do you own Elite: Dangerous?
10:48 <Schism> I ask with silliness encompassed.
10:49 <ConfusionRift> I do have it. Just done very little in the starter system.
10:49 * Lumindia_ yawns, flops on Schism
10:49 <Schism> Mm. Would you like to try some close-quarters combat? Nothing major, and nothing big, this is just PvP to learn how to fite.
10:50 <ConfusionRift> With this connection, very unsure.
10:50 <Schism> Hmm. Not sure if your connection, as it applies to Elite, is the same as it applies to IRC.
10:51 <Schism> But, if you're not sure, that's fine. Lumin? :p
10:52 * ConfusionRift points at Schism his logs, and his VPN. "Was offline for half an hour. Then, an hour later, I disconnected for a full hour."
10:52 <Lumindia_> morning
10:52 <Schism> Oh. I was just looking at the previous disconnects...
10:52 * Lumindia_ sleepily chews on Schism's ear
10:52 * Schism yawns, and squeaks. Her ear is not a plush toy!
10:53 <Schism> And yes, yes, congratulations on E5S!
10:53 <Lumindia_> sorry, but you're just so sweet. <3
10:53 <Schism> Harrumph. This mare is not for you.
10:53 <Lumindia_> hehe
10:53 * Lumindia_ stops, sprawls on the ground
10:54 <Lumindia_> I'm just being a silly
10:54 <Lumindia_> 'w'
10:56 * Schism flumps on Lumin, then. :p
10:56 <Schism> I wanna fight folks in E:D! :<
10:56 * Lumindia_ is flumped on
10:56 <Schism> But I suppose I'll have to nap for a few hours.
10:57 * Lumindia_ snugs the Schism-pony muchly
10:59 <ConfusionRift> I guess I can test my luck with the connection.
11:00 <ConfusionRift> I don't remember the controls, so it might be a short scuffle.
11:00 <Schism> That's all right. I'm fine with hanging on until you get a grip.
11:00 <Schism> Under which Commander name are you?
11:02 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/2VVM9oy Morning.
11:02 <ConfusionRift> Gimme a sec. Haven't been on in a while.
11:02 <Schism> Yerpl. Also, Cepheid, you might want to join in. :P
11:03 <Cepheid> I just woke up again, can I have a moment to eat breakfast and make a coffee first?
11:04 <Schism> But of course. Also, CQC is not quite what I expected, so 'Rifty might have to play a few moments anyway. And...
11:04 <Schism> Well, no worries.

11:07 <Schism> CQC might be a bit much right now. @_@
11:08 <Schism> Looking at loadouts, we might have to both get used to setups first. And controls.
11:08 <Schism> Especially controls. I know how to swap loadouts. I am not good at setting them on the fly and pulsing chaff.
11:09 <Schism> And while CQC sounded like a good idea, I thought it was a straightforward dueling arena, while this is deathmatch. @_@
11:10 <Schism> So, um. This'll be a bit. @_@ Sorry.
11:12 <Schism> And I'm ... hm.
11:13 <Cepheid> Shrimp for breakfast. Breakfast of... something.
11:13 <Schism> Grits?
11:13 * ConfusionRift struggles in the cockpit. "I don't remember a darn thing!"
11:13 <Schism> Also, ConfusionRift, what's your commander ID? We need to add you. <<
11:14 <Schism> I know...

11:15 <Schism> Friend sent, from CMRD Sedelyan.
11:16 <Schism> CMDR, rather.
11:16 <Schism> And I have to wonder about Cepheid, but that'll take some time.
11:17 <Cepheid> Actually I'm done eating. Coffee is ready, just need to grab keyboard and mouse. Not using wireless set, since mouse problems.
11:17 <Schism> KBM is not best used for Elite.
11:17 <Schism> Well, I mean, it can be.
11:19 <Schism> "You have no friends online." ...;-;
11:19 <Schism> Guess Rifty's issues are more severe than I thought.
11:21 <Schism> Again, my CMDR name is Sedelyan there.
11:23 <Schism> "Sierra Echo Delta, you are cleared for landing." Oh right.
11:24 <Schism> SEDelyan. You know, you'd think I'd have picked up on that earlier.
11:26 <ConfusionRift> There. As I said, I don't remember the controls whatsoever, so everything is a struggle right now. Almost shot the station.
11:26 <Cepheid> It'd be nice if I could log in.
11:27 <Schism> Hm. Wrong e-mail?
11:28 <Cepheid> There we go.
11:28 <Cepheid> No.
11:28 <Cepheid> It just takes them several minutes to update the database, looks like.
11:28 <Schism> @ConfusionRift: Well, I might be having issues here...also, hah. RO, here we are again.
11:28 <Cepheid> Here on out though, it's linked, so..
11:29 <Schism> What is your commander's name, then, Alice? o3o

11:33 <Cepheid> Still setting stuff up. Once done, I'll hop in.
11:33 <Cepheid> I see the UI has changed, some.
11:34 <Schism> More than a bit, yeah. And I'm not sure how much longer I'll be around for now. I need a few more hours sleep, I'm afraid.

11:58 <ConfusionRift> At least it was a short one, but still. Don't trust this connection.
12:00 <ConfusionRift> I was also kind of in the middle of a shift jump. I'm trying to remember all the basics.
12:00 * Cepheid tries landing. Nearly crashes into station.
12:01 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, was having that issue as well and... yeah. And then almost took the guns out and shot the station by switching modes by accident.
12:02 <ConfusionRift> Screw manual landing.
12:04 * Cepheid does the training with controlpad.
12:13 <Cepheid> Manual landing's not really a big issue for me.
12:14 <Cepheid> But the controller scheme leaves a bit to be desired. Lack of sideways thrust is a bit of a problem.
12:14 <Cepheid> My parents keep telling me to create a Christmas list for them, and I have no ideas on what I want. I'm thinking maybe I should just request a cheap HOTAS setup for games like this.
12:15 <ConfusionRift> ...whu...why are the stick... Why is ship strafing on right stick, and steering on the left?
12:20 <Cepheid> It depends on the configuration you choose.

12:41 <Cepheid> Since for each light lit up, there's one less light to light up, that means... 6 possible choices for the first light. 5 for the next, and so on. 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 720 possible combinations for each digit.
12:41 <Cepheid> There's 3 digits, so 720^3 = 373,248,000 possible coordinates.

13:09 <Finwe> o7
13:10 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
13:11 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
13:12 <Finwe> Miss Angeline.
13:12 * Finwe doffs his hat.
13:19 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7
13:33 * Cepheid is hungy.
13:34 *** Quits: DerpyBot (DerpyBot@is.in.your.pants.eating.your.muffins) (The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.)
13:35 <Lumindia_> DerpyBot noooo~!
13:35 <ConfusionRift> DerpyBoooooooot!!!
13:37 <Cepheid> She'll be back.
13:37 * ConfusionRift shouts dramatically. "Nooooo!"
13:43 * ConfusionRift accidentally jumps to a novela. "Porque, Derpy? Donde te has ido?! Por favor, regresa!"
13:43 <Cepheid> I have no idea what you just said.
13:43 * ConfusionRift switches channel. "Boooring."
13:45 <ConfusionRift> (Why, derpy? Where have you gone to?! Please, return!"
13:46 <ConfusionRift> And that was supposed to be a parenthesis. Yeah, tiredness setting in.
13:46 <Cepheid> Ah, heh.
13:46 <Cepheid> ... So, what the landscapers appear to be doing outside...
13:46 <Cepheid> Is collecting up every leaf that has fallen.
13:46 <Cepheid> And throwing them in a dumpster.
13:51 <ConfusionRift> So clearing the lawn?
13:51 <Finwe> Shouldn't they use a composter inistead?
13:52 <Finwe> *instead
13:52 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "There aren't any here, so... off they go."
13:54 <Cepheid> They're loading it into a bin probably to be delivered to a composting facility.
13:54 <Cepheid> And yes, they're clearing the lawns. Why though I don't know. The leaves haven't quite fallen off all of the trees just yet, and really it's a huge undertaking as they're taking care of all the houses in the region.
13:54 <Cepheid> Which means at least two or three days of this.
13:56 <RazorSharpFang> It's another red day in the US market today.
13:56 * Cepheid noms a macaroni and spaghetti sauce TV dinner, a bagel with cream cheese, and three poorly pickled eggs.
13:57 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoSs9-NDP3E
13:57 <Cepheid> Oh, right.
13:58 <Cepheid> No botderpy.
13:58 <ConfusionRift> Derpyyyyyy!
14:01 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe.
14:02 <Cepheid> You know what I find interesting?
14:02 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm?
14:02 <Finwe> Hmmm?
14:03 <Cepheid> Though a small number of people exhibit this, I have seen commentary on Internet websites, particularly Reddit and Imgur, that make it sound like they believe their country is the only one with Internet access.
14:04 * ConfusionRift stops the music. Reads carefully.
14:05 <Finwe> Do North Koreans believe that their country is the only one without?
14:05 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, I... is this like the new kind of flat-earther?
14:05 <Cepheid> I dunno.
14:05 <Finwe> Because I'm rather sure that you cannot find anything written by them on Reddit.
14:08 <Cepheid> Spitfire, what is your problem?
14:08 <ConfusionRift> There are reasons for that. And there are chances that some do believe so.
14:14 * ConfusionRift sighs. He has heard the similar before.
14:16 <ConfusionRift> Sometimes, I just feel... old.
14:23 <Cepheid> So, I'm assuming that Spitfire's kneading behaviour is some sort of weird affection thing rather than punishment. A common factor among all cases is if I start to move my arm, he gets frustrated and wanders off in a huff.
14:28 <Lumindia_> my mother called that 'happy feet'
14:29 <ConfusionRift> The oddity here is that they knead Cepheid's arm specifically. It just happens.
14:29 <Cepheid> The same spot, and always in the same pattern.
14:29 <Cepheid> Starts off kneading in one spot, on my forearm just below the elbow. Then it moves to a balancing act where he tries to get all four paws on that one spot.
14:30 <Cepheid> Then it progresses to wrist biting.
14:30 <Cepheid> If I try to stop him at any time, he starts meowing in what sounds like a frustrated or annoyed tone and either just keeps going, or he wanders off in a... weird manner.

15:02 * ConfusionRift laughs.
15:04 <ConfusionRift> Someone actually experienced a soda grenade. Yes! ...as in, they left a can of soda in their car, and was so hot it had bulged with the pressure. They grabbed it and it just exploded soda everywhere.
15:04 <Cepheid> Heh.
15:07 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D4K_S-bChA *Musics*
15:07 * Cepheid implements some new image formats in his game engine.
15:11 <Cepheid> Why the hell is 'Accept suggestion on Enter' the default option?
15:12 <ConfusionRift> Heard this one, but completely forgot and lost it. Was looking for it for some time. Thanks. :P
15:12 <Cepheid> Heh.
15:12 <Cepheid> Prolly heard it from...
15:12 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPqJj6rna2E
15:12 <Cepheid> This is where I first heard it.
15:13 <Cepheid> And I remember showing others this.
15:13 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah. That collab. :P
15:17 <Cepheid> Reminds me that one game series I need to go through is the DMC games. Maybe excluding DMC2.
15:17 <Cepheid> That game's canonicity is... questionable.
15:20 <ConfusionRift> And of course, a song used in Just Shapes & Beats had to show up on shuffle. :P
15:24 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0QsHKH77MI o3o
15:25 <ConfusionRift> Okay sorry, but that's cheating. :P
15:25 <Cepheid> Heh.
15:30 <ConfusionRift> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw8CaDXo1jw (shrugs) Might be your speed.
15:33 * Cepheid sighs. "Is there a reason I can never get peace and quiet with these cats?"
15:33 <ConfusionRift> Probably because... they're cats? :P
15:33 <Cepheid> ... The name of that song, man.
15:34 <ConfusionRift> Can't get any more Doom than that.
15:35 <Cepheid> I was gonna say, it definitely suits DOOM, especially 2016 and Eternal. But more...
15:35 * Finwe hats on Cepheid.
15:35 <Cepheid> Do you recall the aspect that my patron deity resides over? Destruction. :P
15:36 <Finwe> AMD will publish the new Radeon RX 6000 series at 16:00 GMT.
15:37 <Finwe> I.e. in 23 minutes.
15:37 <Cepheid> Right, okay, cats...
15:37 * Cepheid goes downstairs to spare room to work.
15:39 <Cepheid> I have to admit, I am curious about the RX 6000 series.
15:39 <Cepheid> With nVidia's bull**** growing worse by the day, I'd like to switch away.
15:39 <Cepheid> I mean for heavens sake, a full month delay to get your Linux drivers working with the latest kernel?
15:40 <Cepheid> By that point, we'll already be in the midst of 5.10 release candidates, or a full release.
15:41 <Cepheid> Plus, their need to rely on EGLStreams, and Xorg basically slowly rotting and dying off, reliance on Wayland is making using nVidia cards a problem for the future of Linux.
15:42 <Finwe> Quite so.
15:42 <Finwe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHpgu-cTjyM
15:43 <Finwe> There's the stream.
15:43 <Cepheid> Mmm.
15:43 <Cepheid> Essentially, at this point, AMD better hope they have raytracing ready. Despite the gimmicky nature of it, it's pretty much expected to be a common feature from hereon out, now.
15:44 <Cepheid> What with support across all APIs pretty much worked out. Vulkan has a raytracing API, OpenGL has one, and DX12 has it.
15:44 <Cepheid> And next gen consoles implementing it.
15:44 <Cepheid> Still say we should find ways to abuse the hell out of it for some logic programming.
15:45 * Finwe nodnods.
15:47 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-khk.irn.56.193.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
15:47 <Cepheid> Could probably be used to accelerate collision detection.
15:47 <Cepheid> Especially in cases with high numbers of projectiles.
15:50 <Cepheid> Of course, I'm not sure how the raytracing hardware works exactly. It may not be programmable, thus making it unusable for anything not involving rays.
15:54 * Cepheid sighs. "Supporting multiple image formats is a pain."
15:56 * Cepheid thinks about how best to implement all of this.
16:07 <Cepheid> Whelp, can't focus now.
16:10 <Cepheid> And that pretty much confirms it. Raytracing is implemented.
16:11 <Cepheid> Mesh shaders are funky little things.
16:11 <Finwe> Yush, direct raytracing, variable rate shading, mesh shaders and sampler feedback.
16:11 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
16:11 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)
16:13 <Cepheid> Of course, how much does that card cost?
16:13 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-50eecs.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)
16:16 <Cepheid> That feature probably abuses the architectural knowledge of that specific configuration of components to improve data transfers between CPU and GPU.
16:16 <Finwe> I'd guess something like €650 to €700.
16:17 <Cepheid> Mmm.
16:17 <Cepheid> So easily over $1,200 CAD.
16:19 <Cepheid> And probably even higher because of bullshit involving bots, resellers, etc.
16:19 <Cepheid> In other words, outside of my price range.
16:20 <Cepheid> 'Specially since I make a whopping $0 a week.
16:20 <Cepheid> I'm curious about Vulkan, to be honest. o3o
16:21 <Finwe> An exquisite chance to salvage a GPU thrown away by someone switching to RX 6800. o3o
16:21 <Cepheid> Hum, so a little over $860 CAD.
16:21 <Cepheid> Which means at least $1,100 or so.
16:22 <Cepheid> The extra cost comes from various bullshit reasons including shipping costs, border costs, etc.
16:22 <Finwe> Starting at $649, they say.
16:22 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
16:22 <Finwe> In other words, €550.
16:23 <Cepheid> Oh gods.
16:24 <Cepheid> Hum, 300 watts. Not bad.
16:25 <Cepheid> Ow.
16:25 <Finwe> That's 0.402 BHP.
16:25 <Finwe> o3o
16:26 <Cepheid> $1000 USD. That'd be ~$1,350 CAD. Add in another 200 on top, ~$1,550. Add in tax..
16:26 <Cepheid> Costs more than this laptop.
16:26 <Finwe> One grand. o3o
16:26 <Cepheid> ~$1,751 CAD.
16:28 <Finwe> It's cheaper than RTX 3090, though, innit?
16:28 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
16:28 <Finwe> By about one third.
16:55 <Cepheid> Guh, my butt hurts like hell.

18:25 <Cepheid> I gotta stop taking seroquel to force more sleep out of myself.
18:25 <Cepheid> I slept from 1:00 AM to about 7:00 AM, sure. But I now feel like I've been awake since 1:00 AM.
18:26 <Cepheid> Danged stuff helps me sleep, sure. But the sleep I get isn't restful. I gain nothing from it.
18:31 * Finwe puts an amulet of restful sleep around Cepheid's neck.
18:32 <Cepheid> This also means that attempting to fix my sleep cycle outside of pushing it forward an hour or two each day is impossible.

18:44 <Cepheid> It depresses me how much of that is accurate for me.
18:45 * Finwe hugs a PinkieShy.
18:45 <PinkieShy> Hey Finwe :)
18:52 <Finwe> Good evening.
18:52 * ADragonDreaming offers Cepheid a hug
18:52 <Finwe> I need to go to the laundry soon to attend to my clean clothes.
18:53 <Cepheid> I'll be fine in a little bit. Just bugs me, as it took me until I was 32 years old to realize that this may have been why I've been so... dysfunctional.
18:54 <ADragonDreaming> Well there's a lot of other things in your case as well, not least of which is that super-persistent sinus infection.
18:58 <Cepheid> There is that, yes.
19:15 <Cepheid> Hum. MonoGame takes the easy, but painful way for multiple image format support. Guess that's the best route.

20:07 * Finwe oils Ali's joints.
20:26 <Cepheid> I should probably stop coding given I'm exhausted as hell.
20:40 <Finwe> Hmm.
20:41 <Finwe> I think I'll have a cup of tea. o3o
20:45 * Finwe chooses blackcurrant tea.
20:47 <Finwe> Or at least I think so. It's Russian and only says черная смородина on the pack.
20:47 <Finwe> It smells of what I think could be described to be blackcurrant.
20:56 <Lumindia_> derpybot is still kill
20:57 <Cepheid> Spitfire, buddy, could you please learn to enter my bedroom without pushing my bedroom door wide open?
20:58 <PinkieShy> I realized something yesterday..
