00:25 <ADragonDreaming> yes.
00:25 <ADragonDreaming> higher-rank characters get bonus rewards when joining the quest of a character of a lower rank. Golden Eggs, for example.

00:51 <Schism> It's my own fault, though.
00:51 <ADragonDreaming> aye?
00:51 <Schism> Uragaan, rather. And yeah. Didn't have a proper weapon for facing it.
00:51 <ADragonDreaming> Yeah, he kind of needs some strength.
00:52 <ADragonDreaming> I'm ingame, if you want a ringer.
00:54 <Schism> Oh. That's why. I was using a low-level Dragon element weapon.
00:54 <Schism> Maybe if I'd had a proper element equipped...
00:55 <Schism> I mean, it's weak to Dragon, but not THAT weak. A Water element weapon would have been preferable.
00:55 <ADragonDreaming> Aye.
00:56 <Schism> Which in turn means it's time to go a'huntin' Jyuradotus.

12:38 <Schism> Yup.
12:39 <ConfusionRift> The problem is, when you see them, they're usually running away to hide. Or by the time you notice them on top of something, they're already running off.

13:17 <Schism> There is a fair amount to make fun of there. Like the VA work!
13:19 <Cepheid> Madeline of Celeste has been confirmed to be trans.
13:19 <Schism> Yup.
13:20 <ConfusionRift> The VA work, sound quality and direction, some of the dialogue, some of the puzzles, and how everything is just symbolized.
13:20 <Schism> Was pretty much a given based on various factors, including certain medications (which might have been for anything, admittedly), trans flag, a picture of her with her mom on the dresser pre-transition, etc.
13:20 <Razor> I don't know that series.
13:21 <Schism> Celeste is just a platformer, albeit a tough-as-nails one. Very popular, very fun. Silent Hill is... wellllll, it pretty much wrote the book on what we now think of as psychological horror in console games.

13:22 <Razor> The "please don't notice how few polygons we can draw" fog
13:22 <Schism> Hah. The fog was originally intended to bring the game to a point at which it could be displayed, and it eventually turned into a mainstay after they decided, "You know what? This is actually kind of creepy."
13:23 <Cepheid> Schism: Yeah, but given the answer from the creator themselves, they weren't sure at the time of development, among other things.
13:24 * Schism mms. Considers playing a little more Monhan just to fill up the Canteen the rest of the way.
13:24 <Schism> Obviously I won't be getting all the drinks for a while, of course.
13:24 <Cepheid> And yeah, the fog was just a method of cutting the draw distance down, but it worked out well. It's primary benefit is that during daytime, you can use the fog similarly to darkness at nighttime.
13:25 <Cepheid> Hiding creepy stuff without fog, during daytime, is a bit tricky.
13:25 <ConfusionRift> I guess.
13:25 <Cepheid> You have to rely on peripheral vision effects, or mixing parts of what you're hiding with the scenery.
13:26 <ConfusionRift> And of course, the game can't be what it is without really annoying sound effects.
13:26 <Cepheid> Which is harder to pull off in general, because the player's view may not always be facing the direction intended for the effect.
13:26 <Cepheid> The sound work, meanwhile, yes.
13:26 <Cepheid> That could have used some improvement.
13:26 * Razor googles "List of high explosives" and gets put on more government lists.
13:26 <Cepheid> The "music" in some areas was... yeah.
13:27 <ConfusionRift> The sound of trash drums, sauce pans, and overused Casios.
13:27 <Cepheid> Yeah.
13:28 <Cepheid> It didn't work.
13:28 <Cepheid> With respect to music, though, I am curious as to why low, droning noises instill a sense of dread.
13:29 <Schism> Hah. I will say that the tank controls for Silent Hill were not at all ideal.
13:30 <ConfusionRift> Nope. Tank controls outside, I dunno, A TANK, are not intuitive or good.
13:30 <ADragonDreaming> Counterpoint: Old-school Resident Evil.
13:30 <Schism> When I can honestly say "Eternal Darkness did these controls better than you did", that's not a compliment.
13:30 <ADragonDreaming> The tank controls there make sense due to the camera choice.
13:30 <ConfusionRift> You're telling that to someone who also disliked Resident Evil.
13:31 <ADragonDreaming> That's irrelevant to the point.
13:31 * ConfusionRift grabs ADragonDreaming's camera and moves it at random locations as he walks through the halls. :P
13:32 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPU0HD9hvmg Hum.
13:32 <ADragonDreaming> Resident Evil cameras were set up to mimic movie shots, etc.
13:32 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
13:32 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Greatest Game Soundtrack: A Mighty Power - YouTube
13:32 <ConfusionRift> I know, but still.
13:32 <ADragonDreaming> It's fine to argue that's a bad choice; however, the tank controls are a good choice given that camera choice.
13:33 <Schism> Lessee. Noahstone, first...
13:33 <ADragonDreaming> They mean that the controls remain consistent regardless of the camera switch.
13:33 <Razor> Can you rotate while moving?
13:33 <Cepheid> I have to agree with ADra here. Due to the way RE's view was laid out, it was required to use those sorts of controls.
13:33 <Cepheid> And yes, you can turn while moving forward.
13:33 <Razor> Can you also rotate while not moving?
13:34 <Cepheid> ... Oh gods.
13:34 <ADragonDreaming> Yes.
13:34 <Cepheid> And yeah. You can.
13:34 * Cepheid watches the new Code Bullet video. An A.I. that can play Connect Four.
13:34 <Cepheid> Let's see how he adds phallic imagery to this.
13:35 <Razor> I think some tracked vehicles have warnings about not rotating the vehicle on-the-spot like that.
13:35 <Razor> Usually vehicles not primarily for transport.
13:36 <ConfusionRift> Half tracks.
13:36 <Razor> The other warning is to not engage one track whilst the other is motionless.
13:36 <Cepheid> Oh gods, he's targeting another online version of a game.
13:36 <Cepheid> The last time he did that, with Tetris, he got banned.
13:38 <ConfusionRift> And I believe some tank exceptions. They either can't lock each side individually, or could damage something else when locking and moving single tracks.
13:39 <Razor> Yeah, if one track is in motion with the other motionless, it drags. Tracks don't like the drag.
13:41 <Schism> Heavenberry get...
13:41 <ConfusionRift> It's not a good idea, or efficient. The only reason to do something like that would be to rotate, but it's better in general to move both tracks in opposite ways.
13:42 <Razor> Yes yes. But sometimes the manufacturer has a big warning to not try to turn on the spot (reasons of torque apparently)
13:42 <Razor> But that's for this really big mobile-mining-drill, so fair enough.
13:42 <Schism> So. Enemies which appear as purple are Tempered, correct?
13:43 <ConfusionRift> As far as I know, yes.
13:44 <ConfusionRift> Razor: It a huge and very heavy machine. Rotating in place is not something it's really meant to do.
13:45 * Lumindia boops Schism's snootle
13:45 <Lumindia> :D
13:46 <ConfusionRift> It really depends on the tool in question.

13:46 <ConfusionRift> Schism: They also don't look... right, in some way.
13:47 <Cepheid> Huh, that's.. actually a pretty interesting way to optimize the game.
13:48 * Angeline whinnies loudly.
13:48 <ConfusionRift> Halloo.
13:49 <ADragonDreaming> Schism: large monsters with a purple aura around their icon are tempered, yes.
13:50 <Cepheid> Yes, purple aura is tempered. Orange/red is arch-tempered.
13:50 * Lumindia hugs Angie, gives some hot cocoa
13:50 <Lumindia> with tiny marshmallows in it, of course
13:50 <Cepheid> Tempered is basically "A couple stars higher than the difficulty implies."
13:50 <Cepheid> Arch-tempered is usually "Next rank up."
13:50 <Cepheid> So in high-rank, arch-tempered may as well be Master Rank.
13:51 <Cepheid> This isn't always the case, though.
13:51 <Cepheid> The Greatest Jagras, a high-rank, 9* quest, has a non-tempered Great Jagras, which hurts like a Master Rank 4* or 5* monster.
13:52 <Cepheid> It's an Event quest though, so it kind of defies the conventional rules.
13:53 <ConfusionRift> As it normally does. :P
13:53 <ConfusionRift> Nothing will beat the large Black Gravios. (sniffles a bit)

14:06 <Cepheid> I can't imagine what all this election stuff is doing to the American markets right now.
14:06 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, as it happens I was up almost 2000 AUD yesterday
14:06 <Cepheid> Almost enough to afford a GeForce RTX 3090?
14:07 <RazorSharpFang> I'm just hoping that a Biden victory doesn't mean that all oil stocks immediately crash in value.
14:07 <Cepheid> Mmm, that's right. Paris Accord stance could drastically affect that.
14:07 <RazorSharpFang> As it happens, I have both investments in solar power, and clean energy in general whilst also having investments in the petrochem energy sector.
14:10 <RazorSharpFang> I play both sides so that I always come up on top, unless I don't.
14:10 <Cepheid> I would question your morality in that regard.
14:12 <RazorSharpFang> The way I see it, fire got us into this mess with the climate. I think fire will get us out of this mess.
14:13 <RazorSharpFang> That said, I mostly make money off of VOLATILITY in these underlyings - not increases in valuation of these securities as with a regular investment.
14:14 <ADragonDreaming> The way I see it, as far as energy goes, we should have started 30 years ago, but the way forward is an actual transition to green energy combined with drastic improvments to current fossil fuel technology.
14:14 <RazorSharpFang> I am still a nuclear power fanboy.
14:14 <RazorSharpFang> Nuclear power is like... sophisticated fire.
14:14 <ADragonDreaming> My brother-in-law is a Professor at McMasters, has been working on the concept of "Clean coal" for years; based on his research it's possible to do coal power without the emissions. I don't pretend to understand it, but it's there.

14:28 <ADragonDreaming> I was wondering where the stuff was coming from.
14:29 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
14:30 <Cepheid> These are relatively easy to set up. You run the software, and it sends a signal for every layer that's done. The signal can be used to issue a "take picture" command to some camera software, and so on, and so on.

14:55 <ADragonDreaming> Pearls! Delicious pearls!
14:56 <RazorSharpFang> Which game are you playing Schism ?
14:56 <Schism> Yup. Got that ingredient, and also captured a Legiana.
14:56 <Schism> Monster Hunter World.
14:56 <RazorSharpFang> Will it run on a Dual-Core Pentium 4 ? :3
14:56 <Schism> Most likely not.
14:59 <ADragonDreaming> minimum spec for processor is Intel i5-4460 or AMD FX-6300
14:59 <ADragonDreaming> IIRC Pentium's older than that.
15:02 <Cepheid> You know, I'm not sure that injection I'm taking is safe for me.
15:03 <ADragonDreaming> ...PA just flipped.
15:03 <ADragonDreaming> how so, Cepheid?
15:04 <Cepheid> Semaglutide injection. Not insulin, but it's still injected. It's once a week. Anyways, I find that after I take the injection, for the week following, I tend to have extreme hunger. Like, I can eat a bowl of cereal, two bagels, and a small TV dinner, and still be ungodly hungry.
15:05 <Cepheid> And, although recent events are definitely stress-inducing, and are probably responsible for this, the last few weeks since I started taking it(excluding one week where I forgot), I've been constantly high-energy, and high-strung. As if my metabolism is going out of whack.
15:06 <ADragonDreaming> hmm... yeah, that sounds like somethings mucking with your ability to feel full.
15:06 <Cepheid> I burn out of energy much sooner overall, too. I start feeling tired about 10-12 into my day, instead of 13-14.
15:06 <Cepheid> That said, because of current situational events..
15:06 <Cepheid> There's no way to tell what's stress and/or illness, and what's the medication.
15:06 <Cepheid> The one week I forgot to take it, I felt fine.
15:06 <Cepheid> But that's not indicative of anything.
15:07 <Cepheid> Or, at the least, it should be repeated two more times to verify.
15:07 <Cepheid> I should go through all my medications, investigate if there's any interactions, and then bring up said interactions at my next doctor visit.
15:08 <ADragonDreaming> Plus, you know, mention the appetite thing.
15:10 <Cepheid> One medication has known moderate interactions.
15:11 <Cepheid> Apparently the interaction is just a case of "may affect how other medications are absorbed by the body."

15:14 <Cepheid> "You may have low blood sugar, and feel very hungry, dizzy, irritable, confused, anxious, or shaky when taking semaglutide."
15:14 * Cepheid goes to check blood sugar.
15:15 <RazorSharpFang> "Your blood sugar is 0xFFFFFFFF"
15:17 <Cepheid> It's 9.4, actually.
15:17 <Cepheid> Which is a little high.
15:17 <Cepheid> But, what time did I wake up at..?
15:18 <Cepheid> 8:30 AM or so, it seems. So it's been nearly 2 hours since I ate, but in that case, I ate a bowl of cereal, a sub bun, and some steak sub fillings.
15:18 <Cepheid> And then had a coffee, which itself had sugar because my mother keeps buying the sugar-based creamer.
15:21 <Schism> There. All foodstuffs unlocked. For drinks, I have a few quests to do, but right now those can absolutely wait. @_@
15:22 <Cepheid> Heh.
15:22 <RazorSharpFang> What's creamer?
15:25 <ADragonDreaming> dairy product for coffee that isn't strictly milk.
15:25 <Schism> Dairy-esque, anyway.
15:26 <ADragonDreaming> ah, yes. most of it is actually dairy free, according to search.
15:26 <ADragonDreaming> https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-creamer-765040
15:27 <RazorSharpFang> Would `Milo` be considered a creamer?
15:28 <ADragonDreaming> dunno. What's Milo?
15:28 <ADragonDreaming> got a link or summat?
15:28 <RazorSharpFang> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_(drink) Yee
15:28 <Schism> Oh, Ovaltine. I guess maybe?
15:28 <ADragonDreaming> nope.
15:29 <ADragonDreaming> Milo falls into the realm of Koolaid or hot cocoa.
15:32 <ADragonDreaming> Creamer is intended specifically to act like milk added to a drink, usually coffee.
15:37 <Schism> Whoops. Ransomware's hit both Capcom and liquor company Campari.
15:38 <Lumindia> F
15:49 <RazorSharpFang> ADragonDreaming, okay, but I add Milo to my coffees.
15:49 <ADragonDreaming> Then you used it as a flavoring.
15:50 <ADragonDreaming> But it's not a creamer, because it doesn't mimic dairy.
15:52 <RazorSharpFang> It literally contains milk power
15:52 <RazorSharpFang> *powder
15:52 <ADragonDreaming> But it's chocolate.
15:52 <RazorSharpFang> It is also malt. It is many things.
15:53 <ADragonDreaming> Sure... and one of those things is not a creamer.

15:57 <Cepheid> Trig math.
15:58 <RazorSharpFang> I don't suppose you're familiar with location transformations between Lat-Long and Northing-Easting ?
15:59 <Cepheid> Unfortunately no.
15:59 <Cepheid> And it's a complicated problem, according to my understanding.
16:00 <RazorSharpFang> It's a very annoying problem.
16:01 <Cepheid> According to my understanding, every country has one or more GPS datasets, and these datasets use different transformations.
16:01 <Cepheid> As a result, transformations for one country will not work for another.
16:01 <RazorSharpFang> Some countries (yeah Australia) are big enough for multiple datasets
16:04 <RazorSharpFang> Today I decided to increase my holdings in clean energy companies.

17:48 <Cepheid> I like how, further down it goes, the more organic it looks.
17:48 <Schism> Interesting dithering in that image.
17:48 <Cepheid> It's a colourized version of a scanned map from the manga, I think.
17:49 <Schism> That'd explain it. Or someone might have actually printed it onto canvas and scanned that.
17:49 <Cepheid> Hard to say.
17:49 <Schism> The moire seems a bit more organic than most, but there are all sorts of ways. Either case... yeah.
17:50 <Cepheid> I don't know why I like Made in Abyss so much. I'm assuming it has to do with the theme of exploration, which is a good way to grab my attention in anime or gaming.
17:50 <Cepheid> Plus, the whole "This is a pit with a weird-arse curse."
17:50 <Cepheid> Further down you go, the harder it becomes to go back up. To a point that there is a legitimate point-of-no-return that'll kill you if you try to go up.

18:55 <Cepheid> I swear.. Even small advances in my studies of Japanese seem to pay off considerably. Watching anime, a new one, and I'm grasping more and more of the language with relative ease with the subtitles. I can discern what words are for what, etc. It'll never be perfect, as I doubt any anime out there would ever use say, polite language, or conventional written Japanese, which is a bit more structured and strict, but still.
18:55 <Cepheid> Is this how it's supposed to go with learning a new language?
18:56 <Cepheid> I can't compare the process to learning a new programming language, because a spoken/written language is.. different from a programming language. I can apply concepts I learned from other programming languages to a new language, as well as use comparisons to other languages to better understand stuff like syntax, but I don't think that works with spoken/written languages.
18:56 <Cepheid> And even then, I only have one language to work with.

19:00 <Cepheid> All I can conclude is that, subconsciously, my brain IS applying something that I use to learn other programming languages quickly and easily, to spoken/written language, and I am simply unaware of it.
19:02 <Cepheid> Doesn't explain the grades and marks, though. Unless one makes the assumption that my bias against the university or structured education as a whole is responsible for that.
19:05 <Cepheid> This, I think represents the last problem I have to resolve for my mental health.
19:05 <Cepheid> I seem to have this inability to believe that I can do various things.

20:12 <Cepheid> Hum. You know, the lowering expectations of the university idea kind of makes sense, when I put it aside another mentality that I have.
20:12 <Cepheid> I consider my own personal work to be of more importance than schoolwork.
20:13 <Cepheid> When it comes to working on schoolwork, or working on a project, for learning purposes, I would prefer to work on the project.
20:13 <Cepheid> Therefore, the implication is that I do, in fact, have low expectations from the university, and what I'll get out of it.
20:14 <Cepheid> Because I work much, much harder of stuff that I choose to work on. Like, to the point of possibly hurting myself at times by starving myself or something.
20:14 <Cepheid> Which means I see the value of what I am working on as greater than what the university as a whole has to offer to me.
20:25 <Cepheid> Why do I analyze things like this? Bleh.
20:27 <Cepheid> Weirder yet, why do I do it during anime? Seems like a silly thing to let messages in TV shows cause me to start analyzing and trying to comprehend little bits about myself.
20:29 <Cepheid> Probably because I notice little things that I wouldn't normally notice in my everyday life, and I start analyzing it. And due to how I tend to compulsively analyze layer after layer, digging down, it probably ends up becoming introspective just out of nature.
20:31 <Cepheid> That, or it's how ADHD works, because someone literally just posted a comic that describes my exact current scenario, being distracted by something and then going all deep-analysis into it, moving from topic to topic rapidly. And said comic was associated with ADHD Awareness Month.

20:41 * Angeline hugs Dappled?
20:41 * Dappled holds up a game where he completed 100% of steam achievements.
20:41 <Angeline> :D

22:03 <ADragonDreaming> I have done nothing productive all day.
22:04 * Dappled often does nothing all day. But he works nights so sleep is a thing.
22:08 * Dappled flops off to shiny hunt Regirock.
22:17 <Cepheid> Oh good gods that Tigrex was annoying.
22:19 <ADragonDreaming> Eeyup!
22:19 <ADragonDreaming> I hunted him with a tentative anti-tigrex setup
22:19 <ADragonDreaming> definitely prefer gunlance for him.
22:20 <ADragonDreaming> guard 4 meant so long as I was conscientious about blocking I was fine.
22:21 *** Joins: LunaOfTheMoonLight (LunaOfTheMo@Pony-2q4dcg.res.spectrum.com)
22:23 <Cepheid> Honestly, it feels like a monster I'd fare better against with say, a bow or a light bow gun.
22:23 <Cepheid> Melee is too dangerous unless you're able to guard effectively.
22:23 <Cepheid> Or have extended dodge/increased dodge window.
22:23 <ADragonDreaming> Aye.
22:23 <Cepheid> Many of his attacks are just too large to avoid with the default roll, sidestep, etc.
22:24 <ADragonDreaming> That's why I switched weapon class entirely for him.
22:27 <PinkieShy> >_>
22:27 <PinkieShy> Anxiety has been getting worse lately and made me stick to verizon another month which turned out being a horrible idea lol
22:27 <PinkieShy> and Anxiety kept me up all last night after learning of side effects of my doggo's prescribed meds..
22:28 <PinkieShy> I cancelled that medicine though as i am not going to risk my dog having a seizure
22:29 <PinkieShy> Heya Cepheid :) Hope you are doing well.
22:30 <Cepheid> I'm doing okay.
22:30 <Cepheid> Head hurts like hell.
22:31 <PinkieShy> Do you guys think i made the right choice of cancelling my dog's prescription meds order if the side effects scares me..
22:36 <PinkieShy> I feel like I did.. so all that matters i am guesing :(
22:38 <ADragonDreaming> what's the chance of said side effects? and what were the meds for?
22:38 * Cepheid looks at the crafting list to complete the final Tobi-Kadachi path Heavy Bowgun. "... Whelp, guess Tobi's dying a few times."
22:39 <PinkieShy> It was flea medicine ADragonDreaming. I am told by people its rare but from what i am seeing alot of people has seen their dog have side effects
22:40 <PinkieShy> Heck one of the side effects of seizure says seizure can happen with the medicine even if your dog has no history of seizures at all..
22:40 <ADragonDreaming> Did you discuss all this with the vet that prescribed the medication?
22:40 <PinkieShy> I didn't know of the side effects and the vet isn't in today so i couldn't..
22:41 <ADragonDreaming> I would say that, no, it was not the right choice to do it at this juncture.
22:41 <ADragonDreaming> I would recommend discussing it with the vet prior to taking any such action.
22:41 <PinkieShy> Seriously though with all the reviews I've with possibly of seizure if my dog would have one and i lose him.. I would get depressed.. :(
22:41 <ADragonDreaming> Which is why you should discuss it with the vet that prescribed the flea meds.
22:42 <PinkieShy> I might just request them call me when the vet is in so i can discuss it with him.
22:42 <ADragonDreaming> Yes, I recommend this.
22:42 <PinkieShy> Okay :3
22:43 <ADragonDreaming> especially since, if there's a flea problem, you do still want to take care of that. It's possible there are effective alternatives the vet can suggest as well.
22:43 <PinkieShy> They did recommend Seresto flea collar :)
22:43 <PinkieShy> $75 and last like 7 months.
22:43 <ADragonDreaming> I cannot recommend ever taking unilateral action based solely on internet research.
22:43 <ADragonDreaming> in re: healthcare, that is, whether pet or human.
22:45 <Cepheid> Indeed.
22:45 <Cepheid> Relying on the Internet for medical purposes is like intentionally asking to develop depression.
22:45 <PinkieShy> I did see in my research though FDA started requiring them put a warning label about possibility of seizures from it along with other stuff.
22:46 <Cepheid> You are aware, that no matter what medication you look at, there's going to be scary warnings about scary problems, right?
22:46 <PinkieShy> Yea I know.
22:46 <Cepheid> Pharmaceutical companies are required to report every single issue that has occurred during testing.
22:46 <Cepheid> Even if it was just something caused by natural causes and not at all related to the medication.
22:48 <Cepheid> Hell, as it is, anti-depressants have the warning that they cause depression.
22:49 <ADragonDreaming> *can cause, but yeah.
22:49 <Cepheid> Right.
22:54 <Cepheid> Right. So I definitely have improved in hunting ability.
22:54 <Cepheid> Low-rank Tobi, I can understand being a pushover, at this point.
22:54 <Cepheid> But the high-rank one only hit me once.
22:54 <ADragonDreaming> noice!

22:56 <Cepheid> Still need... 6 Claw+, and 2 coral crystals. Then after that, I need to find a good ranged set that boosts ranged combat and provides good mobility.
23:00 <Cepheid> That one was... large.
23:02 <Cepheid> Thanks game, 1 claw, and tons of other items. That's really what I wanted.
23:04 <Schism> I have like 60,000 coral crystals. ._.
23:06 <Cepheid> Lotta mining?
23:07 <Cepheid> So, here's a thing.
23:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Makenshi: Eclipse Tracks! Various Genres, All Quality! [ https://tinyurl.com/yxbqn4qu ]
23:08 <Cepheid> For each monster captured, you get a special arena quest for them. It's a 1:1 ratio, so one monster captured, one arena quest instance, etc.
23:08 <Cepheid> So, if you kill enough of the arena quest versions, you can run out.
23:08 <Cepheid> Except, there's a special case.
23:09 <Cepheid> You capture ONE monster. Then go to do the special arena quest for it. And then capture it.
23:09 <Cepheid> Guess what happens?
23:09 <Cepheid> You get to beat the same monster up OVER. AND OVER.
23:09 <Cepheid> So long as you capture it every time.
23:10 <ADragonDreaming> Poor monster punching bag.
23:10 <Cepheid> It's basically torture. Beat up monster, capture it, they help it recover, then throw it back in the ring again.
23:12 <Cepheid> PETA might have a problem with this.
23:13 * Cepheid checks the news. Facepalms.
23:14 <Cepheid> Bomb threats at a location near a vote counting center in Philadelphia.
23:14 <Lumindia> *sigh*
23:35 * Cepheid watches her character eat a hunk of meat through a mask. "Man, I wish I knew how to do that."
23:37 * Cepheid constructs HBG.
23:41 <Cepheid> ... How the hell does the dragon shot even *WORK*?
23:41 <Cepheid> How does it even ARC at that speed?
23:44 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-b1k017.20dc.fhnt.0406.2601.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
23:57 <Cepheid> Man, the Odo LBG path is basically what looks like an ornate sawed-off shotgun.
