00:02 <Cepheid> I mean, that one's easy to fix in a sense.  Just use software like Riva Tuner Statistics Server, and set an FPS limit of 30, but still.

00:37 * Schism flops in briefly. "Dappled, functionally speaking, a GTS trade can effectively be established via said redirect, so you could determine the stats of the Pokemon you wish to import. Hence, a 'legitimate' Pokemon being sent to your game.

00:39 <Schism> I'm not sure about importing a PKMN to a ROM, but I'm sure there are a million ways to do that.

00:39 *** Joins: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-ndc.l73.47.96.IP)

00:41 * Schism sighs, and tries to wake up after her nap over lunch. "Bleh."

00:42 <Cepheid> Adding new pokemon to an existing ROM would be a ROM hacking endeavor.  Adding a pokemon to a save file is easier.  Sort of.  It depends on what encryption, compression, and data integrity checks are in place.

00:42 <Cepheid> Since we're speaking of handheld games though, the integrity checks would be relatively straightforward.

00:43 <Schism> The easiest way, one which has already been established, is to trick the software into thinking that a legitimate trade is being established -- mimicking the handshake protocols et al.

00:43 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's pretty straightforward to do, especially if there's no encryption on the transmission line, which is probably not the case.

00:44 <Schism> This allows for a level 3 Rattata, for example, to be traded for pretty much anything.

00:44 <Cepheid> The GB, GBA, DS and 3DS aren't exactly powerhouses, so encryption isn't exactly something that's used frequently everywhere.

00:44 <Cepheid> The 3DS though might have better support for it, due to it's actual power.

00:45 <Schism> Also, there are ways by which the games do determine the legitimacy of a PKMN.  Anyway, off to work once more.

00:45 <Cepheid> Even then though, it's not perfect, as made clear by the fact that custom quests are possible for MH4U.

02:13 * Dappled returns from store. Thanks for the insight Cepheid and Schism.

02:13 <ADragonDreaming> We're on parade! We're on parade! We are marching through your hallway on parade!

02:13 <Unixkitty> https://unixkitty.com/logs/EquestriaDaily/latest.log.html

02:14 <Cepheid> That said, storing configurations of legitimate pokemon is not viable on the consoles themselves, etc.

02:14 <Cepheid> Now, through some centralized system used by the game?  THAT makes it more possible.

02:15 <Cepheid> You could create a database that contains information on valid combinations of pokemon, type, level, skills, etc.

02:15 <Cepheid> Only problem is, it'd take bloody forever to build, probably, and also be extremely large, data-wise.

02:15 *** Joins: Jackie (Jarva@Pony-qhu.kqe.18.182.IP)

02:16 <Dappled> The problem I'm running into is that getting Citra up and running is that I need to have installed custom firmware onto existing 3ds.

02:16 <Dappled> At which point I don't need Citra.

02:17 * Ali licks Dappled nosie

02:17 <Cepheid> That's actually not that difficult to do, and as far as I know, outside of one incident, there hasn't been any banwaves, and even then you probably wouldn't get covered by it.  I had my 3DS CFWed during that one banwave, but nothing happened.  So that wave was based on something people were doing, contrary to what the victims say.

02:17 <Dappled> The tools exist for what I want to do, but getting to the point where I can use them is the challenge.

02:17 * Dappled 's more worried about bricking the device than getting banned.

02:17 <ADragonDreaming> hrm... new limited bounties are: do 3 event quests; do 1 quest in coral highlands; hunt 1 hr/mr elder dragon; hunt 1 bird wyvern; do 1 6* quest

02:18 <Dappled> And there was a firmware update within the last couple days so if they fixed any exploits, I need to wait for people to publish the new work around.

02:19 <Dappled> And since what prompted this was my lack of getting the manaphy egg I opted for the legitimate method of getting it and bought a copy of Pokemon Ranger.

02:20 <Cepheid> Quick perusal around the net suggests that 11.14.0 is susceptible to Seedminer, still.

02:21 <Cepheid> But yeah, I'd give it a few weeks first.

02:21 * Dappled will consider doing it, but put it off for now.

02:21 * Dappled hugs the Ali and shows her Black 1 and Rangers Shadow of Almia.

02:23 <Dappled> And of course the big advantage to buying used games.... what's on the save file~

02:24 <Dappled> Absolutely nothing.

02:24 <Ali> But its from Machamps.com

02:24 <Jackie> Named after a Pokémon

02:25 * Dappled would take a hacked pokemon from them if they weren't so obvious about it.

02:40 <Dappled> Welp that copy of Ranger is useless for me. Apparently you can't send multiple manaphy eggs even if you reset the game.

02:40 *** Joins: Jackie (Jarva@Pony-qhu.kqe.18.182.IP)

02:53 <Ali> Yeah, that is a stupid thing about Ranger

02:53 * Cepheid picks up Schism as a shield and goes to fight a Savage Deviljho.

02:54 <Cepheid> Vigorwasp Spray officially renamed to "Save Me Juice"

02:54 * Dappled purchases Action Replay. Cheaper alternative to buying Diamond or Pearl.

03:23 <Cyan_Spark> AM/PM mismatch :3

03:58 * Dappled gets into places he shouldn't. Like the top cabinet. Where the cookies are.

04:01 * LunaOfTheMoonLight helps Dappled get into the top cabinet also wanting a cookie

04:01 * Dappled passes out cookies. They must be shared.

04:02 <RazorSharpFang> Hey heys.

04:02 * LunaOfTheMoonLight eats her cookie happily

04:02 <RazorSharpFang> I've got nieces and nephews over

04:05 * Dappled hopes they are well behaved.

04:09 <RazorSharpFang> Reasonably well. They're having trouble respecting each-others' property rights right now.

04:13 <RazorSharpFang> E.g.: One takes a toy from the toy-box. Other tries to grab same toy off former.

04:14 <LunaOfTheMoonLight> ... well then tell them to share once the first one is done with the toy then they can play with it

05:04 <RazorSharpFang> It is specifically the failure of states to dutifully attend to those displaced by the current hierarchies that indict the state.

05:57 * Cepheid drags in a dead Savage Deviljho. Despite being dead, it is still sparking, glowing, and something underneath the skin is writhing.

07:30 * ConfusionRift waves as well. :P

07:34 <Cepheid> Morning.

07:36 <ConfusionRift> Hey theeere.

07:43 <Cepheid> I swear, every day the world likes to find some new, fun way to make my life a little bit more painful, but in an irritating way and not so much a "[insert cursing and swearing here]" way.

07:43 <Cepheid> Went to brush my teeth.  Gag horribly for some reason.  Go to rinse my mouth, my stomach nearly comes up on me.

07:43 <Cepheid> Now my chest hurts from heaving.

07:44 <ConfusionRift> o_0

07:50 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)

07:50 <ConfusionRift> Interesting. This can actually just happen; become more sensitive to gag reflex. This could be due to medication, over-active palate, fear response, nerve response, and other things that are hard to determine.

07:54 <ConfusionRift> If it happens when you're like, let's say brushing your teeth, then it could be an over-active palate nerve. If it happens out of nowhere, with nothing to trigger it (like eating, brushing one's teeth, or putting something near one's mouth), that would be much serious.

09:46 * Dappled wonders what is happening in the pony land.

09:48 <ConfusionRift> Just watching some videos. Gonna jump back to Starbound in a bit.

09:50 <Dappled> Sounds like fun.

09:50 <Cepheid> Sleeping disorders, here.

09:51 * NitroTheFurry also cant sleep but for different reasons

09:52 <Cepheid> I have a sleeping pattern that slowly cycles forward anywhere from 0 to 3 hours a day.  If I try to fight it, I usually end up suffering for it.

09:52 <Cepheid> In the form of "I feel jetlagged all the time."

09:53 <Cepheid> If you ever want to know what that feels like, try alternating sleeping all day, and sleeping all night as fast and as frequently as possible.

09:53 <Dappled> That sucks.

09:57 <Cepheid> I manage, somehow.  That does remind me though, I should invest some time into creating an app for my phone that lets me setup an alarm/notification schedule that can be started by tapping a button.

09:58 <Cepheid> Wake up, tap the button, it helps me determine the approximate "periods" of my day.  Breakfast after I wake up.  Five hours later, lunch.  Five hours later, inner.  Hour fourteen, take my meds and lay down.

10:01 <Dappled> You know, given how much my work schedule varies and thus my sleep start, end time, I could really use something like that. Let me know if/when you post it somewhere.

10:01 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: I'm going to Dream about Grillbys and Meet Sans!! )

10:02 <Cepheid> Heh.

10:02 <Cepheid> Will do.

10:02 <Cepheid> That said, what platform do you use for your phones?

10:03 <Dappled> Android. I'm using Motorola Edge currently.

10:03 <Cepheid> Good to know.

10:05 <Cepheid> Basically, the purpose behind the design is simply, I cannot keep a static schedule.  It has to follow when I wake up.  Otherwise, on one day, the schedule will be sane, and I can make my daily sacrifices to the Elder Gods at 3 PM, while on another day, I'll be asleep at 3 PM because I'm not expected to wake up until 5 PM due to sleeping disorder.

10:07 <Cepheid> Yesterday, I fell asleep at 6 AM.  I woke up at noon, forcing myself awake.  One would assume on less sleep, that I'd fall asleep sooner.  Nah.  In fact, it's now approaching 6 AM the next day, and I'm only NOW just starting to feel tired.

10:10 <Dappled> Have you tried drugs?

10:10 <Dappled> I mean, nyquil or the like?

10:10 <Cepheid> Yep.

10:10 <Cepheid> I sleep with such medications, but I get no rest.

10:11 <Dappled> Ouch. Very ouch.

10:11 <Cepheid> So I wake up feeling just as exhausted as I was before I went to sleep with meds.  The exception is when I take the meds at around 14-15 hours into my day, just before when my body starts telling me that it's time to get into bed and maybe get some sleep.

10:13 <Cepheid> And that's probably because my body treats said period of sleeping as if I were naturally sleeping without medication in the first place.

10:16 <Cepheid> If I had to guess as to the cause?  ADHD.  Apparently, people with ADHD are prone to a particular sleeping disorder that exhibits all of the above symptoms.

10:17 <Cepheid> Last check suggested 73% of people with ADHD have a similar problem.

20:54 <Twilight_Sparkle> good meowning

20:58 <Cepheid> Morning.

20:58 <Cepheid> Body wouldn't have going to sleep at a reasonable time.

20:58 <Twilight_Sparkle> I had a suspicion

21:00 <Twilight_Sparkle> Guiding lands gathering + 10x steamworks output = Armor spheres for days

21:02 <Cepheid> Yep.

21:02 <Cepheid> I'll be on shortly.  Just finishing my "morning" routine.

21:06 <Schism> I like my boss.  "Wait, you're scheduled until midnight tonight, and at 8 AM tomorrow.  That shouldn't happen, I'm pushing your next shift back 2 hours."

22:03 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/fUzJZmQ.png I am distressed at how well the Faux Kelbi blends in with the Hunter Alpha set.

22:04 <Cepheid> Oh, hey, Schism.  You see this screenshot of X4 running on my laptop yet? https://i.imgur.com/zbjAJNY.jpg

23:31 * Dappled appears.

23:33 * Ali flops over the Dappled

23:34 * Dappled hugs the Ali. Continues to grind for event pokemon.

23:39 <Dappled> Who here loves Velkhana?

23:41 <NitroTheFurry> Aww

23:41 <NitroTheFurry> I do now

23:42 <Dappled> Marcus Hill makes all the Monsters adorable. Love the babies.

23:43 <Cepheid> That is, indeed adorable.

23:43 * Cepheid practices with Gunlance. Likes it.

23:43 <Cepheid> Especially when I configure my mouse to work with it.  o3o

23:44 <Cepheid> Top row of extra buttons is set to, in order from left to right:  Quick Reload, Primary+Secondary attack, Guard.

23:45 <Cepheid> Should probably just rely on hitting both buttons manually for the Primary+Secondary attack, move quick reload to the middle, and put Slinger Aim on the left-most.

23:47 <Cepheid> Only gripe?  Game doesn't show the extra 12 buttons on the side with their actual labels, because it's technically a 12-key keyboard in the mouse.  And most, if not all software, is not designed to handle mice with more than 5 buttons anyways, so they wouldn't recognize the extra buttons as mouse buttons, nor have proper icons for them anyways.

23:47 * Dappled likes artillery secret. I'm the only one allowed to be in melee with the enemy.

23:47 <Cepheid> Though, I suppose a simple solution for this would have been to just use a generic "mouse" icon, then overlay it with a number, indicating the button number.

23:48 <Cepheid> So instead, what I do is I use the numberpad keyboard buttons.  The game *DOES* differentiate between these and the row numbers.

23:50 <Cepheid> Arguably I could also just do my own thing too and mod in appropriate icons.

23:50 <Cepheid> But that's not morally right.

23:51 <Dappled> Modding the UI for personal use on controls doesn't seem like a bad thing.

23:51 <Cepheid> True.

23:52 <Cepheid> In fact I think some people do that because some people legitimately use a pair of Switch joycons, or one of the various "Pro" controllers for the Switch, Wii U, or Wii, etc.

23:54 <Cepheid> Other annoyances include the prioritizing of which buttons it shows for each combo.  Despite having a key assigned to "Combined Action(R2+Circle)" in the game itself, for the training area and the controls guide in the upper-right, it still shows "Quick Reload - [Input for R2] + [Input for Circle]"

23:55 <Cepheid> This is a legitimate binding in the game, the "Combined Action(R2+Circle)", so why it doesn't show that particular binding, I'll never know.

23:57 <Cepheid> Interestingly...

23:58 <Cepheid> If I press the combined buttons button, I still guard as if I was using just Guard by itself, and I can still attack without it doing quick reload while guarding.

23:58 <Cepheid> So officially, for easy quick reload and guard, I just need one button.

23:58 <Cepheid> Though, if I want to guard immediately after an attack, I'd be better off keeping Guard on it's own button.

23:58 <Cepheid> Otherwise, it'll do a reload instead.

23:59 <Cepheid> But, pressing a side button and the right mouse button isn't that difficult, so...
