09:52 <ConfusionRift> This same garbage has happened before with the PS3... and PS4. I never jump to these new ones, because they normally have issues. Heck, they're already crying about the Xbox One catching fire. Who's to say it won't happen here?
09:53 <Dappled> But I need to play Demon's Souls in high definition. What's the point otherwise?
09:53 <ConfusionRift> But whatever. Let them. They don't learn.
09:53 * Dappled was honestly planning on getting it in the next couple weeks but mouth surgery.
09:54 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7
09:54 <Golden> I am mainly gonna be getting a PS5 for Miles Morales, Rift A Part, and the Hogwarts Legacy.
09:55 * Finwe hats on Golden.
09:56 <ConfusionRift> I'm just gonna wait for that PS5 Pro Slim+ 8K Prologue Remix.
09:56 <Dappled> Playstation 1.5 Final Mix?
09:57 * NitroTheFurry is confused why people he dosent know say hi to him with a ping, but quite likes it!
09:57 <Golden> With how most Halo games are basically on steam now Xbox is basically only a Forza horizon machine. Which getting one console for on exclusive is basically a no for the price.
09:57 * Dappled doesn't ping regularly.
09:57 <ConfusionRift> NitroTheFurry: Referring to someone by username alerts them. :P
09:58 <NitroTheFurry> Yes, A ping
09:58 <Golden> Even though the PS5 is more pricey it just seems worth it more over the series X.
09:59 <ConfusionRift> Golden: But what about finally playing Adabat from Sonic: Unleashed at a consistent 60 FPS with no jitter? :P
10:00 <ConfusionRift> Or playing Blinx in HD? :P
10:00 <Golden> ConfusionRift: I sat through playing Unleashed, Secret Rings, Black Knight, Unleashed on Wii, and even 06. Sonic running at 60 fps with no jitter means nothing to me. Also I never played the original Blinx.
10:01 <ConfusionRift> Dappled: Yo get me. :P
10:01 * Dappled did?
10:02 * ConfusionRift also gasps.
10:02 <ConfusionRift> Well, truth be told, probably half the people here know about Blinx, or played it.
10:02 <Golden> I know Blinx.
10:02 * Dappled doesn't know what Blinx is.
10:02 <ConfusionRift> ^
10:03 <NitroTheFurry> ^
10:03 <Golden> I never played it, nor really have any interest to.
10:03 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
10:07 <ConfusionRift> In any case, not saying I'm never gonna get one. I'm just not gonna put down on it just yet. And would like a few other games on the lineup before just jumping to it.
10:08 <Golden> So yeah. I may get the Series X when more games come out that interest me for it. The PS5 has me hooked with some of it's games. The three major ones being the ones I listed.
10:09 * ConfusionRift nods at two of those.
10:10 <Golden> Rift A Part, and Hogwarts Legacy???
10:10 <ConfusionRift> Miles Morales and Rift Apart.
10:10 <ConfusionRift> Need me an actual sequel to R&C. :P
10:11 <ConfusionRift> And Miles Morales does look good.
10:12 <Golden> Ah. I do agree with an actual sequel. Both Miles Morales, and Hogwarts Legacy look amazing
10:16 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm. Hogwarts Legacy is looking pretty interesting.

10:17 <Finwe> Ever considered Dell or Lenovo instead?
10:18 <ConfusionRift> HP as in Harry Potter. Silly. :P
10:18 * Finwe hides behind Ali.
10:18 <Dappled> HP as in Hates Progress Lovecraft?
10:18 * ConfusionRift laughs again.
10:18 <Golden> So as soon as I dropped the line "New Harry Potter video game" my family basically were hooked on getting me a PS5.
10:19 * Finwe noms on the gambrel roofs of Old Providence.
10:21 <ConfusionRift> I'm not a major Harry Potter fan, but this "your own character in the same world" does peek my interest a bit.
10:21 <ConfusionRift> And it's an open world game, which also helps that.
10:22 <Golden> Basically you build your character, pick your house (I hope), and go on an adventure.
10:23 <Golden> The open world part I have not heard. So maybe you can even decide what type of magic your character is proficient in.
10:24 <ConfusionRift> "So... at the potions class..." | I know. I'm a wreck with potions. | "You were just mixing water and sugar! How did it blow up?!" | I don't know!!!
10:25 <Golden> I mean. There are slight bits of comedy in the series so I can actually see that happening
10:26 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, they're making it seem like it's an open world game in a sense, in which you can choose your path as a wizard. So I'm guessing you can choose your own proficiency.
10:27 <Finwe> Always choose evocation.
10:30 <Golden> "So....you choose defense against the dark arts....why?" / Well I am rather combative, and want to protect fellow witches, and wizards. / "I see....well I let me see what you can do." / -Every training dummy gets turned into flames, and cinders- Plus I wjust want to set evil ones on fire.
10:31 <Dappled> Necromancy is the eco friendly magical options. But don't forget your blood magic as well to make use of the entire body: Reduce, Reuse, Reanimate.
10:32 <Golden> Anyway I should try to sleep now.
10:32 <Golden> Soooo Good night pones.
10:32 <ConfusionRift> Okaday. Hope you have a good one.

14:53 <Cepheid> It's kinda important, too. Flu shot, finally.
14:53 <RazorSharpFang> Hey Cyan_Spark. I'm thinking about subscribing for market data.
14:53 <Cyan_Spark> Bloomberg terminal?
14:54 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe. It would be nice to get data more up-to-date than the 15m delay
14:54 <uni> that's like forever
14:54 * Cyan_Spark nods
14:54 <Cyan_Spark> Hi uni
14:54 <uni> heyo!
14:54 <Cyan_Spark> uni are you in the military?
14:55 <uni> mhmm~
14:55 <Cyan_Spark> How much longer?
15:00 <Cepheid> I'd never last in the military. Chronic headaches and lung problems, overweight, diabetic, ADHD, OCD, bipolar type 2, cats.
15:04 <RazorSharpFang> It costs me $6.22 a month to get real-time market data on just the securities. The options themselves are different apparently.
15:04 <ADragonDreaming> Given your health issues you would not likely make it in, Cepheid.
15:05 <ADragonDreaming> My own breathing issues disqualify me in general, as well. Asthma from birth, concave chest resulting in 3/4 lung capacity, etc.
15:09 <Cepheid> You never struck me as an asthmatic. And the concave chest... Seen that before. Only one question I have about it, but afraid to ask as it seems... rude to ask?
15:12 <Cepheid> Basically, from visual observation, it looks like it'd be painful. I'm guessing it's not though, because I've never seen any indication from the individual that it is.

15:32 <uni> why'd you ask?
15:34 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
15:37 <ADragonDreaming> Nah, not painful on the regular.
15:37 <ADragonDreaming> Mine's not hugely concave, so everything still fits. Only pain comes in if and when I have breathing problems.
15:38 <ADragonDreaming> And I don't suffer from the asthma much at all anymore. That's how it usually is when you start out life with it; as you grow it gets less and less severe.
15:40 <ADragonDreaming> For me it triggers under certain situations; respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia, or if I run into things I'm allergic too (Dust and smoke, primarily, and these days in large quantities)
15:40 <ADragonDreaming> Or, the combination of cold air and physical exertion.
15:44 <Cepheid> Ah.
15:45 <Cepheid> Yeah, I have an allergy to dust. Despite my best efforts, not much can be done about it.
15:45 <Cepheid> Dust being everywhere and all.
15:45 <Cepheid> I have symptoms AKIN to asthma, but apparently, according to testing of medications on me, the change in the symptoms isn't drastic enough for it to be declared asthma.
15:46 <Cepheid> They expect upwards of 15% or more change in oxygen intake after having applied doses of medication, and waiting half an hour. I barely saw 5%.
15:47 <Cepheid> So ventolin and flovent, the common medications for asthma, aren't really worthwhile. Pulmicort, strangely though, has a strong effect. It's typically used for pneumonia, though.
15:48 <ADragonDreaming> I grew up on ventolin, basically.
15:50 <ADragonDreaming> And, yes, I think I've had pulmicort in some of the more extreme cases.

18:37 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming, I have confirmed the requirements for the rainbow pigment. Mother wanted to watch me play some MonHan, so I worked on the pigment. It does in fact unlock from completing all of the optional quests
18:40 <Cepheid> That said, not as bright as I was expecting it to be.
18:41 <ADragonDreaming> specifically the LR/HR ones?
18:41 <Cepheid> Yes.
18:42 <Cepheid> That said, there is one quest that just... Gah.
18:42 <Cepheid> It's Lunastra and Teostra, despite being high rank, it took me four tries to do it because I called in help, and the HELP KEPT DYING.
18:47 <Cepheid> ...
18:47 <Cepheid> For the love of-
18:48 <Cepheid> I did the health coverage opt-in, and they're saying I never paid the fee. Where was I supposed to send it? They never gave me any information on who to send it to, or how.
18:52 <Cepheid> **** this. I'm done. Seriously this time. I'm going to focus exclusively on Japanese. It's the only thing I'm willing to complete at this time with the university, because aside from that one other Japanese teacher, the course is actually taught well.
18:52 <Cepheid> I should not have listened to my sister and continued.
18:56 <Cepheid> About the only beneficial things I got out of university were A) The Japanese language education, B) The realization that university is not for me, and C) I suffered so many mental breakdowns that I had no choice but to get properly diagnosed for mental illness.
19:05 * Cepheid sighs. "I'm gonna keep trying, but I'm gonna try looking for work in the interim. If I get a job, I quit university. Otherwise, I keep going, but I'm switching programs."
19:06 <ADragonDreaming> Makes sense to me
19:16 <Cepheid> Arguably, due to COVID-19, and the nature of software development, there should be a lot of telecommuting jobs for software developers right now, especially with growing need for software to do certain things regarding COVID-19, and security, and so on.
19:18 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/9NyHvJF That "NOM"
19:24 <Cepheid> Well that's not good.
19:24 <Cepheid> There's a possible hostage situation at Ubisoft Montreal.
19:28 <NitroTheFurry> Of course it would be montreal
19:29 <Cepheid> Oh?

19:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> Cepheid: I can work from home almost full time. I choose not to do so though.
19:40 <Cepheid> I can understand why, but in my case...
19:40 <Cepheid> The biggest issue is the sleep cycle.
19:41 <Starlight_Glimmer> The sysadmin part of my job that's technically just a developer position is often quite a lot easier with physical access to things.
19:41 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
19:41 <Cepheid> In my field it's a bit different.
19:42 <Cepheid> It can be done remotely, the biggest issue is in the meetings, etc.
19:42 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also while I did home office full time earlier this year I found that the schedule and lack of distractions that comes with a physical presence helps me.
19:43 <Starlight_Glimmer> Free breakfast and drinks at work also help :3
19:43 <Starlight_Glimmer> We do meetings over BigBlueButton, a video conferencing software.
19:43 <Cepheid> I have a sleeping disorder, possibly a side effect of having ADHD. Gist of it, I wake up 1-2 hours later each day, and go to sleep 1-2 hours later each day. I have done everything I can to try and control it, but the more I fight it, the worse I end up feeling.
19:44 <Cepheid> Eventually it gets to a point where I take the medication to sleep, sleep for 8-10 hours, wake up, and feel like I haven't slept at all.
19:45 <Starlight_Glimmer> I have flexible work time within certain limits
19:45 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm supposed to be at work between 11 am and 3 pm.
19:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> But I can just announce that I won't be and for a day or so and nobody cares really.
19:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> The rest of the time I can work when I want to.
19:47 <Starlight_Glimmer> We have quite a number of people working remotely completely now.
19:57 <Cepheid> Unfortunately for me, it's not something that I can just shift forward or back easily.
19:57 <Cepheid> It cycles ahead whether I want it to or not.
19:57 * Cepheid looks through e-mails. Sees a student survey about the university.
19:58 * Cepheid spends about 20 minutes telling the university what she has to think about it, in many not-so-unkind words. No overt threats. But enough vitriol and hatred that she is likely to get a call from counseling services, probably.
19:59 <Cepheid> Felt good though.
20:08 <NitroTheFurry> Id love to read that lol
20:08 <Cepheid> So my sister did something really stupid.
20:09 <Cepheid> She went to the clinic because of a sinus infection/cold.
20:09 <NitroTheFurry> Why is that stupid
20:09 <Cepheid> Getting to that.
20:09 <Cepheid> Hazmat came in, and asked questions, then said she's to quarantine immediately. That's fine.
20:09 <Cepheid> Later that day, she went to a store to buy stuff, and was spotted by a nurse from the clinic.

20:10 <NitroTheFurry> Oh good lord
20:10 <Cepheid> Now she's on a watch list and under mandatory lockdown and not allowed to leave her house *AT ALL*
20:11 <Cepheid> As for why the hazmat stuff, it's an isolated, small community. No hospital, no ICU or anything like that. So if someone gets sick with COVID-19, it'll devastate the community.
20:12 <Cepheid> And by "isolated community" I mean "the nearest hospital is an hour or two away by plane."
20:14 <Cepheid> So basically, if it spreads out there, people WILL die. Not "may" or "might" or "possibly", WILL.
20:17 <Cepheid> So, random question.
20:18 <Cepheid> I just watched video evidence of someone falling asleep at their desk while streaming. How in the hell do you fall asleep at your desk? I have trouble sleeping as it is while laying down, and sleeping while sitting up, even when comfy? Yeah, not happening.
20:18 <NitroTheFurry> Dang
20:18 <NitroTheFurry> I've done it at school before
20:18 <Cepheid> So, how the hell does one fall asleep at their desk, while working?
20:18 <NitroTheFurry> Tiredness
20:19 <Cepheid> Not even gonna ask how long you've been going without sleep for that to happen in the first place.
20:19 <Cepheid> Because even when I've been up 24+ hours, I simply cannot sleep either sitting up or at a desk.
20:21 <NitroTheFurry> Its like sleeping in a car
20:21 <Cepheid> I can't even do that. Tried.
20:21 <Cepheid> Same with airplanes.
20:22 <Cepheid> I had a 6-hour flight, didn't sleep the night before at all, took sleep aides, still couldn't sleep.
20:37 <NitroTheFurry> Huh

21:15 * Dappled happy horse. First day in months he's woken up with mouth pain.
21:17 <ADragonDreaming> ...did you mean without?
21:21 <Dappled> Yeah, that.
21:22 <ADragonDreaming> congrats then!
21:23 * Dappled just wishes it wasn't so expensive, but hey, worth it .
21:23 * NitroTheFurry can give you a different kind of mouth pain~
21:23 * NitroTheFurry realizes this isn't the afterdark channel
21:23 * NitroTheFurry hides
21:24 * Dappled doesn't want to get punched! Also hides
21:45 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:45 <Cepheid> Yep, you learn that pretty quickly, Nitro.
21:45 <Cepheid> You're not the first to make that mistake. Won't be the last.

22:09 * Cepheid hmms.
22:10 <Cepheid> Simplest approach for rendering bullets in a danmaku game is to use textured quads, with no special effects. Easiest to implement, fastest, and requires no real re-working of code. That said, it would be bland.
22:11 <Cepheid> Because of how high-performance drawing works, wherein everything is batched together and sent as a single draw-call, it's not possible to assign different shaders to different meshes within a single batch.
22:12 <Cepheid> Thus, for each shader, a batching system has to be created explicitly for that shader.
22:33 * Cepheid hmms. "The other issue is per-instance data that might be needed, to change the behaviour in the shaders."
22:54 * Dappled puts up an umbrella to provide shade. This helps?
23:09 <Cepheid> Mmm.

23:15 <Starlight_Glimmer> Finwe: I'm afraid Finland has to become a part of Germany now. My employer exclusively hosts servers in Germany. For the 3rd time someone selected Helsinki as a server location. So either they're incompetent or they know of an invasion I don't. I'm somehow hoping it's the latter option.
23:15 <Starlight_Glimmer> :3
23:16 * Dappled as a person whose name is of Flemish Descent, I hearby declare ownership of Finland.
23:16 * Dappled has no idea where flemland is.
23:23 <PinkieShy> I wonder who would win in a battle discord or bill cipher.
23:24 <PinkieShy> I miss DashedRainbows :( Don't know what happened to them.
