08:56 <Ali> I mean, they must know by now that I can see their IP and know them well before anything starts up too much.
09:06 <Cepheid> Mother, I have no idea why you decided to take a bath at 5 AM, but thanks, you woke me up.
09:22 <ConfusionRift> Ain't that grand?
09:24 <Schism> Surprise! We're not _that_ weird after all. https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/scientists-discover-how-common-mutation-leads-night-owl-sleep-disorder
09:26 <Cepheid> Yeah, and then there's ADHD which also causes it.
09:27 <Schism> Yerp.
09:28 <ConfusionRift> Huh.
09:29 <Cepheid> Which may explain a metric ton for me.
09:30 <Schism> Mind, of course, we're still weird. And gleefully so.
09:31 <Schism> "Screw you, Y chromosome."
09:39 * Cepheid gives ConfusionRift a miniature live Blackveil Vaal Hazaak.
09:39 * ConfusionRift sighs at the effluvium.
09:40 <ConfusionRift> Gonna try to clear out the optionals before moving to Icebourne.
09:41 <ConfusionRift> The effluvium is what made the fight a bit more dangerous. But once one gets what's going on, he's not too bad.
09:43 * ConfusionRift is reminded of the mini Khezu.
09:44 <ConfusionRift> I was just reminded... one of the optionals is Beetlegoose.
09:45 <Cepheid> At this point, Effluvium Resistance should be a viable.
09:45 <Cepheid> Er, viable skill to obtain*
09:49 * ConfusionRift boots the game.
09:51 <ConfusionRift> "Hey, we got a big problem." | Hmm, I wonder what's up. | "There are two Bazelgause roaming around-" | Nope. Nope Nopenope. No. | "But-" | (walks away) Not happeniiiiing~.
09:51 <Cepheid> Tempered ones, no less.
09:51 <Cepheid> That said, you're in luck.
09:51 <Cepheid> If you start Iceborne, the expansion completes that quest automatically for you.
09:52 <Cepheid> That said, if you *WANT* to do it, I can hop on and help you murder the hell out of them.
09:54 <ConfusionRift> As I said earlier, I'm gonna clear out all the other fodder first. Maybe deal with Big Meanie Explodey on its own, while not being all moody and such... with a second one messing around, just as moody.
09:55 <Cepheid> Fortunately, he's no longer the usual "Hello booooi!" monster in Master Rank.
09:55 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, he's been replaced by Savage Pickle Joe.
09:55 <Cepheid> Not as commonplace, though.
09:55 <Cepheid> I've only encountered it twice.
09:56 <Cepheid> Also...
09:57 * Cepheid waits for Imgur to load.
09:57 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/yIfl3iV.jpg So, uh, apparently? Kushala Daora is pretty damned chill when something's not got him all riled up ahead of time.
09:57 <Cepheid> He's not aggressive, nor does he react to your presence other than by looking at you.
09:59 <ConfusionRift> Well, from what I remember, he wasn't an aggressive wyvern. That is, only you bap him, in which he'll go full tantrum mode. Also, real nice seeing him in his old habitat.
09:59 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:00 <Cepheid> My only experiences up until that point with Kushala is "raging like mad from the get-go."
10:00 <ConfusionRift> Was reminded that in MHF2, if you go to the top of the snow mountain, you can find an old shed of his.
10:00 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
10:01 <Cepheid> But yeah, after a certain point, Elder Dragons start appearing in expeditions.
10:01 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, and would like armor, other than the defender armor. Tired of wearing this thing. Though I can use it to get the materials for the other armors.
10:01 <Cepheid> That was literally the first expedition I did after that point.
10:05 <Cepheid> As for armor, I would honestly just suggest you get some heavy ice-resist armor, with Aquatic/Polar mobility, and a good fire weapon. Maybe a lot of sonic pods, as well.
10:05 <Schism> Oh FFS. Okay, point of order. When you come up with a nom de guerre for a black op, don't be freaking cutesy.
10:05 <Cepheid> And start Iceborne, because even the lowest Master Rank gear beats out High Rank gear by a considerable amount.
10:05 <Cepheid> Schism: Oh?
10:06 <Schism> If I ever run a Shadowrun campaign and someone decides to be cutesy with a black ops name, I'm going to be running them over with an SUV.
10:06 <Schism> The strange 'Hunter Biden' papers which have now been determined to be totally fabricated out of whole cloth were released by some guy named "Martin Aspen" -- be careful about searching for that name, some results are NSFW.
10:07 <Cepheid> Okay, fine. And I should have been more inquisitive. "What's the name in question that inspired this?"
10:07 <Schism> Now, the name seems perfectly reasonable on its own. However, reverse the name -- "Aspen Marton" -- and a bit of corruption reveals Aston-Martin, the car of choice for one Bond, James Bond.
10:09 <Schism> Possible that it's a coincidence, but my money's on someone unable to resist being clever.
10:09 <Cepheid> Or completely inept at creating names, so they took something they saw and twisted it.
10:09 * ConfusionRift whispers. "Car brand. And not all Bonds (generations) used the same brand."
10:10 <Schism> Also possible, but I could take a dictionary next to me, flip through, and come up with a perfectly logical naaand there's no way they have a dictionary within 50 metres of them is there.
10:10 <Schism> I know, Rifty, I know! But Aston-Martin is one of the most well-known.
10:11 * Schism pulls a book from her shelf. Looks at two pages. "Margaret Foster."
10:12 <Schism> There. Sensible name, could be a part of any intelligence community, wouldn't be looked at twice despite her killing three men in six seconds when the President was attacked.
10:12 <Cepheid> Schism, no everyone has a bookshelf full of books in their house.
10:13 <Schism> We have the internet.
10:15 <Cepheid> Schism, we have a website called "Let me Google that for you."
10:15 <Schism> Oh crap, and now things are going to go wrong. Get ye from my head, Marge.
10:15 <Cepheid> Think about that for a few seconds.
10:16 <Schism> I know. People are stupid.
10:16 <Schism> Wait, what the fu
10:16 <Schism> Cepheid, did we not have a conversation some months back about a character and the way they set up shop in your head?
10:17 <Cepheid> Probably, why?
10:18 <Schism> And I believe that there was a statement therein about the paradoxically intransigent nature of memory.
10:18 <Schism> Or about its fleetingness.
10:19 <Cepheid> More just I have a horrible memory for anything but directions.
10:20 <Schism> I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure that I said the same thing about Marge getting out of my head back then. Without knowing who she was. I guess it's possible I'm going insane, too, and won't that be fun?
10:21 <Schism> (Don't worry. If I'm going insane, I won't be bringing other people along for the ride, unless they're either A. already in the car, or B. willing to join me on a wild ride.)
10:21 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:22 <Cepheid> In all seriousness though I don't know why my memory is so bad with respect to anything not directions.

10:23 <Schism> Maybe you were Ryoga Hibiki in a previous life and wished for an unerring sense of direction when you were reborn.
10:23 <ConfusionRift> Okay, the Vaal armor for the Palico looks awesom- ooooh, those resistances are baaad.
10:25 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/HolUp/comments/jlb9ue/neighbors_would_not_know_if_its_real_or_not/ How to commit a murder. First, start by doing this during the month of October on a regular basis. Every time the cops show up, show them it's a prop, and that it's just you getting "into the Halloween spirit." When the cops stop responding to calls about the fake bodies..
10:25 <Cepheid> Murder your target, wrap them up in the same manner, and dispose of the body in the same manner.
10:25 <Cepheid> No one will be the wiser. Just make sure you do it before November 1st.
10:27 <Cepheid> Worried about them finding out because the new "body" is heavier than usual? Just weigh the original ones down with a bunch of water in the bottles.
10:37 <Lumindia> jesus christ. xD
10:38 <ConfusionRift> Eeerm... what about the Halloween decorations in Dallas that got the police's attention? Apparently, it was so gory and realistic that it got too much attention.

10:56 <Cepheid> I get the impression that this is not gonna be a good day, pain-wise.
11:01 * ConfusionRift checks the list of optionals for 6-7 star quests. "I'm not even close to done."
11:01 <Cepheid> Yeah, I need to go through the rest of the optionals in low/high rank myself.
11:02 <ConfusionRift> Almost done with low rank. I bet one of the bounties opens the last one I'm missing.
11:04 <ConfusionRift> Well... (cracks knuckles) Let's get to it.
11:05 <Schism> Cepheid: please re-read these informative posters. https://scarfolk.blogspot.com/2020/06/unknown-poster-campaign-1970s.html
11:07 <Cepheid> Hmm, yes, they make some valid points.
11:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2101 [ https://tinyurl.com/yxzafe3c ]
11:09 <Cepheid> Yes, Cheryl, if only it were that easy for everyone.
11:10 <Schism> Zack would get it, but everyone else, yup.
11:11 <Cepheid> Rifty, I can confirm that there are some optionals that you will not be able to complete immediately, as they will not exist until you reach a certain hunter rank, etc.
11:12 <Schism> Chloe and Chelsie are all like, "Girl. You need to do your life."
11:15 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Oh I'm aware. Some of them also open if you find something, have beaten a specific monster before, or as an upgrade to something delivered by bounty.
11:17 * ConfusionRift looks at the Zorah quest. "It's actually easy. It's just... long."
11:18 <Schism> https://i.imgur.com/Yx12qOx.png
11:18 <ConfusionRift> Screw it. I suppose all is on pause for now, till I do this one twice.
11:18 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift, before ya do it.
11:18 <Cepheid> What's your session ID? I want to fight Zorah.
11:18 <Cepheid> Need me some gems.
11:19 <Cepheid> I'll leave you be afterwards.
11:20 <ConfusionRift> w88J-43XY-mWkz
11:20 <Cepheid> Thanks.
11:20 <Cepheid> Also, you can just do "copy session id" from the menu, and post that.
11:20 <Cepheid> Actually works better.
11:20 <ConfusionRift> Just noticed it.
11:22 <Schism> Remember. Cepheid and ConfusionRift, you can never congregate next to yourself. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DxVPSVs4uII/XoNean_BQyI/AAAAAAAAGD4/LCWohmUKqBQ90vQicCt3xVN_FuPjZfVRwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Scarfolk_Gather_www-scarfolk-blogspot-com.jpg
11:39 <Cepheid> So yeah, ConfusionRift, there's a magmacore on it's head.
11:40 <Cepheid> When it does the ramming attack with it's head, you can climb onto the head.
11:40 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, didn't even use the dragonator. Jeez, and I didn't know that's how you get to that magmacore.
11:41 <Cepheid> There's other ways, but I believe they only work in the AT version.
11:41 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Pffft, whuhuhuha?! :P
11:41 <Cepheid> When it stands upright during the walking phase, you can get up to the magmacore then as well, but I don't recall it ever being damageable during that phase. In the AT version, I saw people damaging it then.
11:45 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
11:59 <Cepheid> Easy peasy.
11:59 <ConfusionRift> It is damageable.
11:59 <ConfusionRift> The problem is he moves, pushing you off.
11:59 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
12:00 <Cepheid> I gather you're going back to your usual quests, then?
12:00 <ConfusionRift> very likely, unsure.
12:00 <ConfusionRift> Let me check the list.
12:01 <ConfusionRift> They're mostly doable. So yeah. Gonna burn these a bit.
12:02 <Cepheid> Okay, I'll head back to my own session, unless you want a hand.
12:02 * Cepheid checks kiranico for something. "Ah. That's why that upgrade's not available yet."
12:04 <ConfusionRift> The only problematics I see are Bazel, Pickle, and... (sees Diablos arena quest) Yep, just Bazel and Pickle.
12:04 <Cepheid> I need some Bazel bits for a weapon, so if you want to take him out easily I can assist.
12:05 <ConfusionRift> Does blast still work on it?
12:06 <Cepheid> I think it does, but at greatly-reduced efficiency.
12:06 <Cepheid> 100 damage per buildup, but it seems to have a slow-building tolerance to it.

12:08 <Cepheid> Thunder, actually.
12:09 <ConfusionRift> Still need to upgrade my thunder axe, but meh. Here we goooo.
12:09 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony.
12:09 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Mr Cepheid.
12:09 * Finwe doffs his hat.
12:09 <Cepheid> Finwe.
12:10 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
12:10 <Cepheid> Honestly though, Rifty, I'm likely to make short work of it. You can probably quite literally just hang back, harvest, and watch me beat the explosive **** out of it, if you so desire.
12:11 <ConfusionRift> I would like to at least see. But if it's gonna be that bombastic, that's fine. :P
12:22 <Cepheid> Easy peasy.
12:23 <Cepheid> Only thing you need to start doing is learning to do aerial attacks when you get launched by other players. :P
12:25 <ConfusionRift> That mess... for research points.
12:26 <Cepheid> Yep.
12:26 <Cepheid> Hey, least it's done.
12:26 * ConfusionRift nods.
12:26 <Cepheid> And if that was your first official kill of this character, then you may have unlocked his gear, so... *Shrugs*
12:27 <ConfusionRift> That too. And there's probably an arena waiting. But that's for later.
12:27 <ConfusionRift> I think I can deal with the Pickle. But it's up to you.
12:27 <Cepheid> I can help if you want it. Also need his parts for a weapon.
12:28 <Cepheid> As for an arena version of Bazel, you're in luck. There isn't.
12:29 <Cepheid> There is, however, the dual tempered Bazelgeuses.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> You said we didn't have to... but... if you wanna brave it...
12:30 <Cepheid> Rifty, I'm up to MR5*, HR Pickle is a walk in a park. The only thing I'd refuse at the moment is Lunastra.
12:31 <ConfusionRift> Oh well excuuuuuuuuuse me, Master Rank. :P
12:31 <Cepheid> Whelp, people are gonna go into a depressive fit today.
12:32 <Cepheid> Sean Connery's dead.
12:32 <ConfusionRift> Eerm, that's kinda me for the- oooh.
12:32 * ConfusionRift sighs. "This year sucks. Can't wait for it to be over."
12:32 <Cepheid> Okay.
12:32 <Cepheid> More of a depressive fit than usual.

12:33 <ConfusionRift> Why. Does. The. Paolumu. Switchaxe. Require. Diables PARTS!!!
12:33 <Cepheid> Because Capcom hates us.
12:35 <Cepheid> I'll BRB real quick.
12:35 <ConfusionRift> No worries.
12:36 <Cepheid> Back/
12:37 * Cepheid puts on terrifying layered armor set.
12:50 <Cepheid> You using controller or keyboard/mouse, Rifty?
12:51 <ConfusionRift> Controller... also, Xeno seems to be here as well.
12:51 <Cepheid> I don't really need his parts, but if you need help with him as well, I can help.
12:51 <Cepheid> I don't mind fighting giant glowy moth.
12:52 <Cepheid> 'Specially as his music is epic.
12:53 <Cepheid> You should make sure to make your talons as well, if you haven't already.
12:53 <ConfusionRift> Xeno'jiiva's? Yeah. He's easy, but up to you if you wanna tag along.
12:53 <Cepheid> I'm game.
12:56 <ConfusionRift> So that's what you need for the talons. Nice. (equips both charms and talons)
12:57 <Cepheid> Yep.
13:10 * Cepheid noms Xeno tail. Starts glowing. "This is not sweet and creamy as advertised. This is radioactive."
13:12 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/aZxmhiZ
13:12 <Finwe> Contrary to examples in popular culture, the radioactive materials usually do not glow.
13:12 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
13:12 <ConfusionRift> This is gonna be the last quest for me. Giving the game a bit of a break.
13:12 <Cepheid> It's usually other chemicals and materials that glow in response to being hit by various forms of radiation.
13:12 <Cepheid> And yeah, I need to eat something soon anyways, so.
13:13 <Lumindia> so Sean Connery passed away
13:26 <Cepheid> I like how the scoutflies are like "Yeah, Xeno'jiiva is right here."
13:27 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, I need to take a break and eat.
13:27 <ConfusionRift> "He's here! He's here!" | (looks at it fly away) Are you sure about that?
13:28 <ConfusionRift> Okaday. That was fun. :P
13:28 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
13:29 <ConfusionRift> I'm just gonna check some items and materials, then call it a day.
13:29 <Cepheid> Should give you a bit of an edge for future fights, too. Also, don't have to deal with regular bazel or pickle now. o3o
13:32 * ConfusionRift nods.
13:32 <ConfusionRift> I really need a good bowgun.
13:32 * ConfusionRift stares at the surplus ammo.
13:32 <ConfusionRift> I really REALLY need a bowgun.
13:35 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:55 * Cepheid hums. "I should spend today studying and doing homework."

14:26 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Don't provoke lostreak chicken，New character gorilla鸡哥无敌，新角色大猩猩
14:28 <Cepheid> As I understand the situation, family under the same roof have tested positive for COVID, which is itself stressful enough. He's trying to get ahold of an informational service with regards to his state's mandate regarding self-quarantine and such, because apparently his employer is harassing him to go back to work ASAP.
14:28 <Cepheid> Plus, probably wants information on testing, itself, just to be safe.
14:32 <ADragonDreaming> Aye
14:44 <Cepheid> Hum. As I study Japanese, it occurs to me...
14:46 <Cepheid> With all the voiced over lines in MH:World, we probably have more than enough snippets to come up with a book on the "Monster Hunter Language" as it's called in World, so as to be able to understand what's being spoken, or how to speak it ourselves.

15:36 <Schism> ... oh no! Aw. 2020, why... RIP, Sean Connery.
15:37 <Cepheid> Hum. Undertale's soundtrack is helped considerably by the way the music starts off in one form, then switches to another.
15:39 <Schism> That duality is something commonly seen in Toby Fox's music, yes.
15:40 <Cepheid> 8-bit then to a sort of full orchestra type thing.
15:41 <Cepheid> Well, not 8-bit. 8-bit can't handle the type of audio used, unless we're talking FDS or something with a decent sound chip that's still 8-bit.
15:41 <Cepheid> Closer to 16-bit.
15:43 <Cepheid> ... Okay, folks who made the Genki textbooks, did you really have to use that particular sentence as an example of how to check if a certain conjugation is valid or not?
15:43 <Cepheid> "watashi wa ichi jikan shini mashita." "I died for an hour."
15:44 <ADragonDreaming> Toby Fox took a few specific note progressions and then modified them as he went to create a connected soundtrack.
15:44 <Cepheid> The sentence is used as an example of a way to determine if a verb is in one of two groups, for purposes of utilizing -teiru.
15:45 <ADragonDreaming> Apparently he got better.
15:45 <Cepheid> Heh.
15:45 <Cepheid> Basically, the two groups are described as "verbs that describe activities that have duration" and "verbs that describe changes in state."
15:46 <Cepheid> The first group for example, would include verbs "to walk" or "to read" because you can be in the state of "walking" or "reading", while the second group would include verbs such as "to die" or "to get married."
15:46 <Cepheid> Because those verbs indicate a distinct change in state.

19:47 * Cepheid is learning about insanely complicated stuff that exceeds her current knowledge. o3o
19:47 <Cepheid> And, in some cases, is historical in nature.
19:48 <ADragonDreaming> Kanji?
19:48 <Cepheid> Planar memory layouts for image data, hilbert curve tiling, morton order tiling for image data..
19:48 <Cepheid> Nah.
19:48 <ADragonDreaming> ah.
19:48 <Cepheid> I'm taking a break from the Japanese and schoolwork to study graphics programming.
19:48 <ADragonDreaming> All of that went over my head, heh.
19:48 <Cepheid> In this case, more Vulkan and Khronos stuff.
19:48 <Cepheid> You've likely seen hilbert curves, to be honest.
19:49 <Cepheid> https://images.app.goo.gl/vEEit21pwYc7x1Km6 An example of one.
19:49 <Cepheid> It's a sort of fractal.
19:50 <Cepheid> Anyhow, it's used under the hood(below application programming level, mostly, according to this document.)
19:50 <Cepheid> It improves performance.
19:50 * Cepheid is actually just reading this as a way to calm down. Is... kind of on edge? Not sure how to express it.
19:51 <Cepheid> I feel like I'm burning up, my mind's running a mile a minute, and I feel like something's trying to crush me. Reading this stuff is helping me relax, strangely.
19:53 <ADragonDreaming> Hmm... odd sensation.
19:54 <Cepheid> I think it might just be stress.
19:55 <Cepheid> Between forcing myself to stay up and muck around with my sleeping cycle, and the insurance debacle, among other things...
20:00 <Cepheid> That, and forgetting to take one of my medications, either because I didn't have any on hand, or just plain forgot.
20:00 <Cepheid> In today's case, forgetting the most critical medication, vyvanse.
20:00 <Cepheid> Which is likely why I am spazzing right now.
20:03 <Schism> I am so fed up with missing goddamned stairs.
20:04 <Cepheid> Hmm?
20:04 <Schism> A problem which has been rationalized: we know that it exists, we know why it exists, but nobody is willing to do anything about it.
20:05 <Cepheid> ... I still don't follow. It may be because my brain is in the wrong mode.
20:05 *** Quits: Dakota (dwhitevalle@always.broken.sometimes.patched.never.fixed) (Quit: WeeChat 2.9)
20:05 <Schism> The term is in reference to someone saying, "Oh, yeah, the fourth stair on the landing is missing. Just hop over it."
20:06 <Cepheid> Ah. You mean missing steps on a stairway.
20:07 <Schism> Yeah. While its original definition was in reference to the people that everyone knows are a problem, and that 'everyone knows' to avoid, it can be generalized to refer to a great many problems which are patched over in a way which means that some people still run afoul of them.
20:09 <Schism> In this particular context, a bug on the website which our support staff know how to work with, and because we collectively know how to deal with it, it's deemed unnecessary to fix.
20:12 <Cepheid> You would need to show that the bug in question causes losses to the company in order to get it fixed.
20:12 <Cepheid> But yes, that seems poor behavior in general.
20:14 <Schism> I would need to show to the company that the revenue granted by fixing the bug outweighs the losses involved in so doing.

20:47 <Cepheid> For some reason, this descriptor table format, for describing texel formats and such, supports 4-dimensional texels. I have no idea where this would be used, or how.
20:47 <Cepheid> It's really weird.
20:48 <Cepheid> One-dimensional texel blocks are straightforward. As are two-dimensional texel blocks. Three are less commonplace, but they do exist. See them mostly in medical stuff. Four is... yeah.
