04:06 <Dappled> It has been here.
04:07 <SRQ> well I'm not gonna be here for long
04:07 <SRQ> wanted to know if anyone had seen Dekko

04:09 <SRQ> you know as much as I don't come here anymore
04:09 <SRQ> I do owe a lot to this place
04:09 <SRQ> without this place I wouldn't be the person I am now, nor would I have been rescued from an extremely toxic group in 2013 by your kindness
04:09 <SRQ> so you should all keep that in mind. you've had a positive effect on things
04:09 <SRQ> and now I run a fairly active kink based discord :p
04:10 * ADragonDreaming facefaults
04:10 <SRQ> very good
04:10 * SRQ licks Ali
04:11 * Ali flails
04:11 <SRQ> really I learned a lot about what a good community should look like through this place
04:11 <SRQ> in building that discord I tried to make the EQD experience But Even Better. welcoming and supportive.
04:12 <Ali> I'm just really squirrely about Discord
04:13 <Ali> I just don't feel all that comfortable on it
04:13 * Ali sits on the SRQ instead

04:14 <SRQ> Be comfy.
04:14 <ADragonDreaming> Harrumph. Anyway. Ali: interface issues?
04:15 <Ali> The interface is a bit offputting, even with it set to a more friendly IRC mode
04:16 <Ali> I don't know, I guess I'm just comfortable with after about 10 years of using the same IRC client
04:16 <SRQ> it's not irc visually no
04:16 <Ali> If there could be a way to have discord and IRC clients work together, that would help.
04:16 <SRQ> the reason I use it is I don't really care about the fact it's centralized (I don't much care that they're spying on my rp logs or whatever) and also easy image sharing
04:16 <SRQ> There is!
04:16 <SRQ> There's bots that can pass messages between.
04:17 <Ali> That's a bit silly, having to use bots to post
04:17 <SRQ> well you're having two protocols at once of course you're gonna need a middle man :p

04:43 <Ali> So Schism with adjusted times, you think our bot friend will come an hour early or think they've given up?

05:40 * Ali headtilts
05:40 <ConfusionRift> Sonic Hacking Contest 2020.
05:40 * Dappled also headtilts.
05:40 <Dappled> As in fast hacking or hacking sonic games.
05:42 <ConfusionRift> "Hacking" Sonic games. As in, mods or hacks of some of the original games, to completely new games based on said games.
05:42 * Dappled hopes they fixed 06
05:44 <ConfusionRift> There's the '06 Project. Basically, they were trying to port what they could to the Unity engine. So, faster loading times, less glitching, better level structures, etc. done within Unity, ditching that messy Havoc engine.
05:44 <Dappled> Woo!
05:44 <ConfusionRift> And someone was trying to port the game using Generations as their base.
05:45 <ConfusionRift> Same with Unleashed.
05:46 <Dappled> Clearly they need to use the creation engine and port it to skyrim.
05:46 <Dappled> Wait, we are wanting less glitches, not more.
05:46 * ConfusionRift barfs oil.
05:46 <ConfusionRift> :P
05:47 <ConfusionRift> Yes, let's port a game a motion and kinetic game to the slowest and slumber engine ever.
05:54 <Ali> Or give it controls via the kinnect~
05:54 <ConfusionRift> Wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to.
05:54 <ConfusionRift> I mean... someone ported Doom to work on a pregnancy tester.
05:54 <Ali> Cause you know, the kinnect was a GREAT idea..
05:55 <ConfusionRift> Yep, as great as using infrared for motion controls.
05:56 <Ali> At least the Wii controls were somewhat decent
05:56 <Ali> Kinnect would lose track of the players.
05:56 <Dappled> Were they? WERE THEY?
05:56 * Dappled didn't own a wii.
05:56 * Ali owned a Wii, and one of the very early ones too
05:57 <ConfusionRift> They worked well for what they were.
05:59 <ConfusionRift> Most of the issues were interference, batteries, motion bar placement, batteries, some games having pointless motions, batteries, batteries, and the occasional offscreening.
05:59 <Ali> And the wrist strap
05:59 <Ali> But then again
05:59 <ConfusionRift> I hated those motion games, so... pfffttt.
06:00 <Ali> If you swing the remote THAT hard while playing a soft motion game, then you already had problems
06:00 <ConfusionRift> ^
06:00 <Ali> ConfusionRift, Mario Party 8 had the bestworst minigame ever
06:00 <Ali> Shake the soda can
06:00 <ConfusionRift> Mario Party, that is all. :P
06:00 <Dappled> Clearly the console with the best gimmick is the Sega Dreamcast.
06:00 * Dappled loved the VMU.
06:01 <ConfusionRift> Mario Party has done nothing but feature controller torture tests.
06:01 <Heartbreak> ... I need to start booping Dapple.
06:01 <Ali> Ah, I still remember my second degree burns from that game
06:01 * Heartbreak forces Finwe to start using gender neutral terms.
06:01 <ConfusionRift> I also remember hand blisters.
06:01 * Heartbreak starts booping Dappled.
06:01 * Dappled doesn't get sound notifications so only occassionally pops his head int.
06:02 * Dappled falls over.
06:02 <Heartbreak> Here is an apple, Dapple.
06:02 <ConfusionRift> And destroying both my N64 controller joysticks, forcing me to buy new controllers.
06:02 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-c37bqa.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)
06:02 <ConfusionRift> Because the joysticks themselves were not readily available.
06:03 * Dappled happy horse noises and eats.
06:03 <Heartbreak> I drilled a hole through my hoof.
06:04 <Heartbreak> A game that I enjoyed? Psychonauts.
06:04 <ConfusionRift> See? That's what Mario Party does to ponies!
06:04 <Heartbreak> Then there was that one game with Yoshi that was on the ... n64 I think?
06:04 <ConfusionRift> It's a good game, Psychonauts. The final stage though....
06:04 * Dappled never played.
06:04 <ConfusionRift> Yoshi Story?
06:04 <Heartbreak> You moved blocks around and made combos.
06:04 <Heartbreak> Yeah.
06:05 <Heartbreak> Oh gawds... The Meat Circus...
06:06 <Heartbreak> That'll give you nightmares, a few broken controllers/keyboards, and a few new psychological issues in which Raz will have to jump into your mind to resolve...
06:11 <ConfusionRift> Yep!
06:12 * ConfusionRift boops Ali with one of his original controllers with Wiimote joystick replacement.
06:18 <ConfusionRift> Maybe it's just me, or does the original Aquatic Ruin Zone song give a different kind of vibe from the Genesis port? https://youtu.be/2EEU0UlaNTo?t=5511

06:45 <Heartbreak> Oh, right. I wouldn't say that -that- is ... 'happy'.
06:45 <Heartbreak> I would say that is 'clinging to sanity by a sliver of a thread.'
06:46 <ConfusionRift> Oh. I thought that was your "smile for the camrea" face.
06:46 <ConfusionRift> *camera
06:47 <Heartbreak> Nah, -that- smile has more... teeth.
06:52 <ConfusionRift> Yep, I getcha. That was basically my face for the whole week, despite me being stuck in here.
07:37 <ConfusionRift> What the...? They ported Doom into Sonic Mania. The maniacs! :P
07:40 <Ali> I see botboy hasn't made an appearance today
07:40 <ConfusionRift> Which is good... I think. They probably got the hint. Or they're waiting for later.
07:41 <Ali> Well the last ban I put on them was a bit stronger than a typical ban
07:45 <Heartbreak> Who the fet is botboy?
07:45 <Ali> Someone on an russian IP that keeps coming back
07:53 <Heartbreak> Hmmmm.
07:59 <ConfusionRift> Okay, that's funny. One of the mod creators jumped in call with the one checking the entries, and they didn't know of one of the 1-ups.

10:42 <ConfusionRift> Not exactly. It's the case of avoiding getting the effluvium effect, and have nulberries. Oh, and keep away from Girros.
10:45 <Cepheid> True.

10:50 <Cepheid> https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=raspberry-pi-keyboard&num=1 ... Huh.
10:50 <Cepheid> They took a Raspberry Pi 4, upclocked it, and packaged it into a keyboard.
10:50 <Cepheid> Modern-day equivalent of a C64, I believe.
10:51 <RazorSharpFang> Nice.
10:52 <Lumindia> nifty
10:53 <Cepheid> Even better?
10:54 <Cepheid> Put a Commodore 64 emulator on it.
10:54 <Cepheid> Got yourself a modern-day commodore 64, quite literally.
10:54 <RazorSharpFang> I'm still sad that there's no proper windows for ARM
10:54 <Cepheid> WinRT is the closest we got to it, yeah.
10:55 <Cepheid> Though, aren't they trying to make Windows for ARM64?
10:55 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe. I just want C# WPF applications
10:55 <Cepheid> Hum.
10:55 <RazorSharpFang> GTKSharp just doesn't cut it.
10:56 <Cepheid> According to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/apps-on-arm, Windows 10 now runs on ARM64.
10:57 <RazorSharpFang> ... Hrmm, it doesn't mention WPF.
10:57 <Cepheid> Supports only 32-bit x86 applications, though.
10:57 <Cepheid> It says it supports 32-bit x86, so WPF is likely supported through the emulation layer.
10:58 <RazorSharpFang> Well, maybe C# WPF support for ARM64 will come later.
10:58 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, I cannot test for you.
10:58 <Cepheid> I lack ARM hardware, ARM64 especially.
10:58 <Cepheid> ... No, that's not entirely true. I have some ARM hardware.
10:59 <Cepheid> As for WPF..
10:59 <Cepheid> I've considered the idea of investigating getting WPF and WinForms working under other OSes, but..
11:00 <Cepheid> Ah, here we are, RazorSharpFang.
11:00 <Cepheid> https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/blob/master/roadmap.md
11:00 <Cepheid> ARM64 support is coming next year, presumably.
11:00 <RazorSharpFang> I am still hoping that one day we will get WPF on Linux.
11:01 <Cepheid> That would be desirable, yes.
11:01 <RazorSharpFang> I am wondering how difficult it would be to write a translation later between WPF and GTK. Probably very.
11:02 <Cepheid> The core of the problem I find is less the difficulty of making a translation layer, and more the fact that there are multiple windowing APIs out there.
11:02 <Cepheid> GTK, QT, wxWidgets, and so on.
11:03 <Cepheid> And then there's the underlying windowing system.
11:03 <Cepheid> X versus Wayland, right now.
11:03 <RazorSharpFang> On Windows, you have UWP, WPF, WinForms, WinGDI+, DirectX
11:03 <Cepheid> Mm, there is that, yes.
11:04 <Cepheid> But they all rely on the same underlying OS API. Meanwhile, under Linux, you have multiple different APIs to choose from.
11:04 <Cepheid> For Linux, you'd have to have an environment flag or something to choose which one should be used for WPF, WinForms, etc.
11:04 <RazorSharpFang> Actually, I think on Windows they may use different underlying OS APIs. Given that some have hardware accel and others do not.
11:05 <Cepheid> Mmm. You're right, I hadn't considered that recent versions of Windows have Direct2D and such.
11:05 <Cepheid> Or whatever it's called.
11:05 <RazorSharpFang> Direct2D is accelerated on mordern windows yes
11:06 <RazorSharpFang> I think it only works on Win7+
11:06 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
11:06 <RazorSharpFang> I think the original WinGDI was for Win95+
11:06 <Cepheid> Yep.
11:06 <RazorSharpFang> Just a tiny difference between those OSs
11:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2103 [ https://tinyurl.com/y4ugjpbv ]
11:08 <RazorSharpFang> That said. Our project is still using .Net Framework 3.5
11:08 <Cepheid> But yes, a translation layer is possible for mapping GDK to the Windows APIs used in WPF, WinForms and the like. It'd be a monumental undertaking though.
11:08 <Cepheid> Same with QT, and wxWidgets.
11:09 <RazorSharpFang> I was thinking GTK because it's a reasonably lightweight one.
11:10 <Cepheid> Fortunately, it's probably not as difficult as it's made out to be on the grounds that WPF and WinForms take a relatively simple route to interfacing with the user interface API of Windows.
11:10 <Cepheid> I examined WPF and WinForms' code in the past on GitHub. They make extensive use of P/Invoke.
11:11 <Cepheid> That is, they simply use the pre-existing non-C# code.
11:11 <RazorSharpFang> I dream of a day when you can simply use a #if windows to switch between WPF native and WPF-GTK
11:14 <Heartbreak> I dream of a day when the idea of a swath of cloth covering your face isn't a topic that you need to consult a political figure about...
11:15 <RazorSharpFang> Everything is bad actually. :3
11:15 <Heartbreak> Cepheid: What do you dream of?
11:15 <Cepheid> A more likely implementation would involve an interface that provides a common interface to expected OS-level functions, and instantiate different classes based on OS and environment variables(To choose between GTK, QT, etc).
11:16 <Cepheid> Heartbreak: An empty voi- Oh, wait, you mean in the form of "What I want for the future."
11:16 <Cepheid> Cats. More cats.
11:19 <Heartbreak> I think that we should have a cat as world leader.
11:24 <Cepheid> Hey cat. How's it catting?
11:24 * Cepheid watches Spitfire wander underneath leg rest of arm chair.
11:34 * Lumindia rolls around
11:40 <Cepheid> Language is interesting.
11:41 <Cepheid> I read a Japanese sentence. "This is my dad, he <unknown> for an American Company." I don't remember the unknown word(It was a verb), but I can infer from the rest, that it must be "worked for" or "works for" based on the conjugation of the verb.
11:42 <Cepheid> Go and check the vocabulary section, and lo and behold, I was right.
11:42 <RazorSharpFang> 仕事 ? Or something else?
11:46 <Cepheid> 勤める actually. "to work for"
11:47 <Lumindia> Reminder: all of you are lovely and I hope you all have wonderful days today! ♥
11:48 <Cepheid> I have a quiz today. Even though it's just a quiz, my mind is freaking the hell out.
11:48 <Cepheid> I hate test anxiety.
11:48 <RazorSharpFang> ... .... Is `勤` made up of `事` ?
11:49 <RazorSharpFang> Jisho save me
11:50 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:51 <RazorSharpFang> Hmm, no. They are different.
11:51 <Cepheid> Oh, this reminds me. *Goes and adds vocabulary for chapter to spreadsheet.*
11:51 <RazorSharpFang> There's so many different characters...
11:57 <Cepheid> I find you slowly start to get the hang of it. Especially if you learn to decompose the kanji into radicals, and learn the meaning of the radicals.

12:09 <Cepheid> Hmm?
12:10 <ConfusionRift> Double Diablos.
12:14 <Cepheid> What's it get you?
12:15 <Cepheid> Man, this wind is gonna be annoying.
12:16 <RazorSharpFang> I'd like to set up a vertical-axis wind-turbine at some point.
12:17 <RazorSharpFang> I hear they're lower-power but they require much less maintenance and are self-starting.
12:17 <Cepheid> Would this plan involve attaching it to a moon in orbit around Mars?
12:17 <RazorSharpFang> ... I actually don't know if there's wind on the moon
12:18 <Cepheid> There is atmosphere. So presumably, there's wind. Just not very strong winds.
12:18 <Cepheid> The above is actually from Randall Munroe's How To.
12:18 <RazorSharpFang> Okay, but at such little pressure does the speed even mean anything?
12:18 <Cepheid> He describes attaching a long cable to Phobos, and on that, attaching a wind turbine.
12:19 <Cepheid> The high speed of Phobos, combined with the tethered wind turbine would generate energy.
12:19 <Cepheid> Of course, this tether is several kilometers long, and probably weighs a metric ton.
12:19 <Cepheid> It'll also cause Phobos to crash into Mars sooner than expected.
12:19 <RazorSharpFang> I'm fairly sure there's some complicated physics about the relationship of speed and pressure of fluids like gasses.
12:20 <RazorSharpFang> Might even involve temperature
12:20 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
12:20 <Cepheid> He actually calculated the amount of energy that would be generated in the lifespan of Phobos.
12:20 * Filly_Nightmares mewl because she needs halp wif her Java homework :<
12:20 <Cepheid> As well as the energy that would result from the impact of Phobos into Mars.
12:20 <RazorSharpFang> Perhaps slamming a moon into Mars might be a bad idea if we want to colonise mars.
12:21 <Cepheid> Long story short, he advises a different approach to energy generation on Mars.
12:21 <Cepheid> Maybe shooting a hole into Mars would help!
12:21 <RazorSharpFang> I'm still a big advocate of nuclear power.

12:25 <Cepheid> In reality, we're more likely to find a way to push Phobos away from Mars.
12:26 <Cepheid> Even though it's not expected to crash into Mars for a good long while.
12:26 <RazorSharpFang> Forward thinking? That's a first for humanity
12:27 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: I really didn't check. I saw two nasty icons, their names, and kinda walks away from it. Let me recheck.
12:28 <Cepheid> Mind, it's not expected to crash for 30-50 million years (citation source: Wikipedia).
12:30 <Cepheid> Okay, this house shifting from the wind's getting annoying.
12:30 <Cepheid> I can hear creaking and such because of it.
12:30 <RazorSharpFang> if you put up enough wind turbines the wind will die down
12:31 <Cepheid> Not financially viable. It gets windy here, sure, but it's not windy enough for wind turbines to run regularly and generate a usable amount of electricity.
12:31 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, it's not windy /consistently/
12:32 <Cepheid> That's why the region is powered by hydroelectricity instead.
12:32 <RazorSharpFang> So is this due a storm of sorts then?
12:33 <Cepheid> Not raining, not storming, so no idea. Just lots of clouds, darkness, and wind.
12:34 <Cepheid> Looks like we have a cold front moving through the region. That might be the cause.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> Never mind. Saw something else. It was Diablos and some Barroths. Not worth it. Seems to just be for more armor spheres.
12:38 <Cepheid> Ah.
12:45 * Cepheid dashes forward towards a Diablos, slashes it with a greatsword. Then fade slashes back, transforms sword into a gun, fires off several rounds. Follows up with an attack that causes a monstrous mouth to grow out of the weapon and take a bite out of the monster. "... Wait, wrong game." Gets run down by the Diablos.
12:53 <Cepheid> ... Geezus christ cats.
12:53 <Cepheid> Tizzy walked up to me while Spitfire was on me. So he jumps down, and as Tizzy gets closer and closer, I suddenly hear spazzing and Tizzy running off.
12:53 <Cepheid> Spitfire swiped at her, based on the behavior.

14:05 <ConfusionRift> ...
14:05 <ConfusionRift> No idea, and they really just want to stand on your arm.
14:07 <Cepheid> This is that kneading/balancing thing I keep talking about.
14:07 <Cepheid> He does it in the same spot every time.
14:07 <Cepheid> And as it goes on, he tries more and more frequency to balance on my arm.
14:11 <ADragonDreaming> murrrrrrgh. I desire not to work.
14:17 <Cepheid> I desire not to go to school, but here we are.
14:17 <RazorSharpFang> What happens if you put both arms together?
14:18 <Cepheid> He sticks to the one arm.
14:19 <Cepheid> It's a consistent behavior. Always the right arm.
14:19 <Cepheid> Though, he does move to the left arm in the event that the right arm is inaccessible for some reason, and the left arm is accessible.
14:20 <RazorSharpFang> So even if you put both arms side-by-side squished together in parallel he'll still adhere to the right arm?
14:20 <Cepheid> Yes.
14:21 <RazorSharpFang> There goes all notions I had that I understood that behaviour.
14:22 <Cepheid> I suspect it's because my right hand is the dominant hand.

15:12 <Lumindia> that's upsetting... the GPU I wanted for my new PC is out of stock from my preferred retailer, and the next cheapest is $70 more expensive than what I was looking at
15:13 <Lumindia> What I wanted was the EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB KO ULTRA GAMING one, but I'm currently looking at a EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 XC as it's significantly cheaper, and I can order everything in my build at once if I go with that option
15:16 <Cepheid> Ordering through a store tends to be relatively quick. Usually arrives in a day or two because the warehouse is relatively close by, usually.
15:18 <Cepheid> Question the prof asked in Japanese: "Who has a lot of money?" No one answered in the affirmative.
15:18 <Cepheid> I love that.
15:18 <Cepheid> I'm "Ottawa Andrew" and the other Andrew is "Halifax Andrew"
15:21 <Cepheid> "Halifax Andrew, ..." *Professor interrupts by laughing at how I asked this.*

15:24 <Cepheid> Mm.
15:24 <Lumindia> if I were to get the KO Ultra card, the current price of that would put me over my budget

19:59 <Cepheid> I feel so sorry for the landscapers. They're currently employed to do leaf cleanup. While there are still leaves on the trees.
20:00 <ADragonDreaming> waiting for everything to fall off is certainly one strategy, but there are some downsides to it. It makes for a bigger, more arduous task once all leaves have fallen, for one, and you have to deal with all the leaves being on the ground currently while you wait for the rest to fall.
20:00 <ADragonDreaming> This can lead to propagation of molds, potential issues with the lawn underneath, etc.
20:01 <ADragonDreaming> repeated periodic cleanups to address the already built-up fallen foliage is fairly common.

21:11 <ADragonDreaming> ...but that's not a sphere.
21:12 <Cepheid> It's not, but it uses the vertices of a sphere.
21:14 <Cepheid> In general, you need some sort of input in order to render anything. For a fragment shader alone, a simple square comprised of two triangles will suffice.
21:14 <Cepheid> Otherwise, if you want to do more complex stuff, you may need a vertex shader as well, which implies input vertex data of some sort.
21:15 <Cepheid> Other shaders might also be used, including...
21:16 <Cepheid> Geometry, Mesh, and Raytracing shaders. The latter 2 require modern hardware though.

23:25 <Cepheid> Basically, NPCs are dynamically generated, and have information you can get via tools, that includes "what they've been doing lately" and "their profession."
23:25 <Cepheid> One such NPC was dynamically generated. Her profession was "Pediatrician." What's been going on with her lately? "She recently got out of a personal relationship with a patient."
23:34 <Schism> Slightly problematic that.
23:34 <ADragonDreaming> yeah thats... uh... that's an issue.
23:35 <ADragonDreaming> Seems they needed to tweak the filters.
23:37 <Cepheid> It's probably more along the lines of "Pediatrician is grouped in with doctors." "Doctors have been known to have personal relationships with patients."
23:38 <Cepheid> Pediatrician needs to be moved to a separate group wherein that particular pairing cannot happen, while still retaining all the other valid pairings.
23:39 <ADragonDreaming> aye
23:40 <ADragonDreaming> aka tweaking the filters.
