00:00 <Cepheid> That said, it's guaranteed to do exactly what I want when I press that button, so I'll keep it.
00:03 <Cepheid> 'd be nice if I could configure a button to change what the primary and secondary mouse button do when I hold it down. For that, I'd probably need to figure out the GHub scripting language.
00:04 <Cepheid> If <X>, then <L> does Y, <R> does Z, else <L> does A, <R> does B.
00:04 <Cepheid> Because you can't bind one button to multiple actions.

00:22 <Angeline> I have finally found a video game wherein I am incapable of being evil
00:23 <Angeline> Like, the game's 'evil' option is too much even for me
00:23 <Schism> Undertale has that effect on me.

00:23 <Angeline> Yeah
00:24 <Cepheid> I do not see Seregios. The closest match I see is Kulve Taroth
00:24 <Dappled> Honestly that game was depressing me cause it was accurate to real world greed and exploitation. Company towns will likely come again.

09:29 <ConfusionRift> I wonder how much those go for right now.
09:30 * ConfusionRift screeches.
09:30 <ConfusionRift> $200?!
09:31 <ConfusionRift> $210 for the original?! How?! They were throwing them away for $60!
09:35 <ConfusionRift> There was a pawn shop here that had a slim one for $50 + a game. This is really odd.
09:36 <ConfusionRift> I would also recommend playing those games on the PS2, and not the Sly Collection for the PS3. There's some oddities and bugs with that one.
09:37 <ConfusionRift> I would if you're more interested in playing it in HD.
09:38 <ConfusionRift> What sucks is that I think my original PS2 is about to kick the bucket.

09:51 <ConfusionRift> Okaday, have a good one, and... uh.
09:56 <Golden> Confusion if you want to play sly 4. You will need a 6-axis ps3 controller. Other wise you are basically stuck for missions require the tilt controlls.
09:57 <Golden> I found out the hard way, and the controller I have doesn't have 6-axis..
09:57 <ConfusionRift> Yeah I know. It was a rather early game, so the sixaxis is mandatory for... things. You know, like how some Wii games had grabby sections because motion controls.
09:58 <ConfusionRift> I still got functional (I think) PS3 controllers.
10:01 <Golden> I am kinda angry for there is no indication it needs the six axis.
10:02 <Golden> Can't even do the first fishing mission for the fish won't come near the magnet.
10:03 <Golden> I guess I am lucky I have the sly collection too, but I was liking the feel of Sly 4.
10:04 <ConfusionRift> You're right. It doesn't say anywhere.
10:05 <ConfusionRift> Then again, a lot of early releases assumed you had a sixaxis.
10:06 <Golden> Well hopefully the resale shop where I got the current controller has a sixaxis....wish it had a way to turn it off like Ratchet & Clank tools of destruction....
10:07 <ConfusionRift> Wait, i could have sworn it did. Hmmmm.
10:08 <Golden> Considering how rare the sixaxis is these days I doubt my resale shop has one, and no it does not.
10:08 <Golden> Trust me I purged through the menus. Nothing even mentions sixaxis in it.
10:19 <Golden> Anyway I need to sleep. So night Confusion!
10:19 <ConfusionRift> Okaday. Have a good one!

16:06 <RazorSharpFang> Sold a put on Kelloggs . As in, the Cereal maker
16:08 <ADragonDreaming> If you ever hear anyone perpetuating the "turpentine in cereal" thing, take pains to debunk that one.
16:08 <RazorSharpFang> Wouldn't that just evaporate off?
16:09 <ADragonDreaming> It's all based on some cereals having Trisodium Phosphate, which is also an ingredient in turpentine.
16:10 <ADragonDreaming> ignoring how chemistry works.
16:10 <RazorSharpFang> I didn't think you had to specify the tri if it's an iconic substance without multiple forms.
16:11 <ADragonDreaming> https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/paint-thinner-trisodium-phosphate-found-cereals/
16:12 <RazorSharpFang> Okay, but Snopes is also the kind of website that will go "Was Hunter Biden shown with a crack pipe? FALSE! He was shown with a meth pipe"
16:12 <RazorSharpFang> It is unfortunate that people will just read "false" and go "image is fake"
16:13 <ADragonDreaming> Nah, Snopes would place a "mixed" on that type of thing.
16:14 <ADragonDreaming> The claim being made is that "paint thinner" is in the cereal. It isn't.
16:14 <ADragonDreaming> TSP is, but TSP is basically analogous to Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate).
16:15 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming, it's like the dihydrogen monoxide hoax.
16:15 <ADragonDreaming> The snopes articles are always more for the benefit of those who have not already bought into the thing; rather than just throwing the snopes article at my coworkers I used the info in it to inform the series of questions I then asked them.
16:16 <ADragonDreaming> Such as that Baking Soda analogy.
16:17 <RazorSharpFang> I had a dream that I showed someone evidence and they changed their mind. That was a nice dream.
16:17 <Cepheid> It does happen.
16:18 * Schism pushes a boulder uphill. She was promised assistance in doing so today, but so far everyone else seems to be trying to push it sideways.
16:18 <RazorSharpFang> Is that an analogy for the market?
16:18 <ADragonDreaming> One of the keys is the approach. It's a lot easier in person, but the thing is that a facts or evidence deluge tends to be counter-productive.
16:18 <Schism> No, it's an analogy for my job.
16:18 <ADragonDreaming> Instead, you want to ask questions that make them think about it.
16:19 <ADragonDreaming> Mind, if it's someone who has dunk the kool-aid, then your goal is not to convince them, but rather to show how they're off the wall so as to thelp other people not to drink the kool-aid.
16:20 <RazorSharpFang> Any idea where the idea of "kool-aid" in this sense came from?
16:21 <RazorSharpFang> My cat wants to snuggle.
16:21 <ADragonDreaming> Yes. I don't remember the exact names, but there was a cult that made headlines when basically the whole cult was found dead, having all drank poisoned Kool-aid.
16:22 <Schism> That's a reference to the Jonestown 'massacre', a cult which drank poisoned Kool-aid -- well, flavor-aid -- en masse in a gigantic mass suicide.
16:22 <ADragonDreaming> Schism does know the names!
16:22 <Schism> Unsurprisingly, it was a Pentecostal cult led by the notorious Jim Jones.
16:24 <RazorSharpFang> Tesla just keeps going up. Price to EPS right now is 9,989.93
16:24 <Schism> The term has been defined to mean any cult which specifically follows the instructions of personalities which are intent, either through accident or malice, on causing them harm.
16:24 <ADragonDreaming> It's also used more generally in terms of fully buying into a lie.
16:25 <Cepheid> All done of lecture, so back to sleep with me.
16:25 <Cepheid> I am not spending the rest of my day running on 3 hours of sleep.
16:25 <Schism> Even with six hours I'm not sure in what state I'll be come 7:45.
16:26 <ADragonDreaming> PM?
16:27 <Cepheid> I would assume so.
16:27 <Cepheid> It's 11:27 AM right now, so..
16:27 <Schism> Yeah, I shifted today from a shift of 2:45 PM to 11:45 PM, to a 10:00 AM to 7:45 shift, and then tomorrow and then on from 8:00 to 5:45.
16:28 <Schism> Because it's the holiday season. Not that I'll complain too loudly about 44-hour weeks, but yeesh.
16:30 * Schism sighs, and drinks lots of caffeine. Surely this will cause her no concerns.
16:30 <ADragonDreaming> I keep forgetting; you're customer-facing support for a retail website?
16:37 <RazorSharpFang> Sleep time for me, cyas
16:37 <Cepheid> Same.
16:37 <Cepheid> Later, Razor.

19:37 <Schism> ADragonDreaming, yeah, that's the basis of it. Big shoe website. Huge sales this week to -begin- the holiday season, and so it's kind of a situation where I'm going 'aaaaa' and not sure when I'll stop.
19:38 * Schism flops over to the store briefly over her lunch break, to get energy drinks.
19:41 <ADragonDreaming> Aye... this week is an interesting one for us.
19:42 <ADragonDreaming> Black Friday is still the busiest day for the dealers, but that can often lead to a relatively low call volume on the day itself; provided nothing breaks.
19:42 <ADragonDreaming> Put simply, they don't have time to call.
20:04 <Schism> I have my doubts that the call volume will be anything short of profound. Especially with the plague in full swing.
20:05 <Schism> And of course, the proviso that nothing breaks is... well, pardon me while I indulge in a bout of derisive laughter.

22:02 <Schism> Darnit. Dearest doctor, please don't give me a confirmation call on a working day a few minutes before you close. Now I've gotta wait for lunch tomorrow to confirm.
22:02 * Schism quivers at the desire to verify this endo appointment.
