00:38 * Cepheid also refuses the conconction, as she needs to get back to sleep at some point tonight to be alert enough for a test tomorrow at 8:45 AM.
00:38 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about What's New in Minecraft Snapshot 20w48a?
00:38 <Schism> Oh, yee.
00:38 <Jackie> I'm so excited about this update when I go into cavs

00:39 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
00:39 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Overslept - What Happens When You Oversleep At Work Depicted In An Accurate Horror Adventure Game
00:39 <Jackie> Now we need to update dungeon and mineshafts
00:39 <Cepheid> Have some creepy.
00:41 <Schism> Darnit, now I want some dangerfowl. Not for any particular flavour reason, just because it sounds like it tastes so much better than it tastes.
00:41 <Cepheid> Cat.
00:41 <Cepheid> Stop this silliness.
00:41 <Schism> What is said cat doing?
00:41 <Cepheid> I need that arm to eat food.
00:41 <Schism> Ah, of course.
00:41 <Cepheid> Usual routine.
00:43 <Cepheid> How's the dangerfowl taste?
00:43 <Schism> According to a certain Mr. Flansaas, completely indistinguishable from turkey. But that's never been the point.
00:44 <Schism> The point is that it's a genetic mixture of the most endangered birds on the planet. And rather than resurrect the specie, it's better to just cook them up and eat them.
00:46 <Schism> I could go for a little dodo, myself.
00:46 <Cepheid> With exception to human-caused extinctions, I wonder just how many species of life have gone extinct over the course of the planet's lifespan, simply because said species of life were TOO TASTY.
00:47 * Schism hums along with the song as she cooks up some raw meat.
00:48 <Schism> Well, bear in mind, a great deal of what we've done has been specifically engineering animals and plants to be more tasty, so I can't imagine that there were too many outliers in times gone by.
00:49 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3531 [ https://tinyurl.com/y375d5nw ]
00:49 <Schism> If anything, I'd worry about how many species have gone extinct because they weren't tasty enough.
00:51 <Cepheid> So, creepy dude in that game is first seen in a room in which there are paintings of the kanji "death", and his medical file has the phone number 44444444. Yeah, that's not ominous or creepy at all.
00:52 * Schism eyebrows. "That seems... overdone."
00:52 <Cepheid> The other kanji shown is "blood"
00:54 <Schism> While oversleeping for work is a horrific experience in and of itself, I feel like this is kind of trying to oversell things.
00:56 <Cepheid> Possibly. Or just not the best translation in the world, making it sound too literal.
00:58 <Schism> Could be both.

01:10 * Schism is a sometimes fox. Right now she is a foodling, considering what food to make. This might turn out to just be tomato soup and grilled cheese sammiches, though.
01:11 * Cepheid noms salad, some cookies, and raspberries.
01:12 <Schism> Were I in a particularly fey mood tonight I would make them bacon, spinach, roma tomato, gruyere, swiss, and thin-sliced strawberry sandwiches on a light toasted rye.

01:25 <Schism> You're really getting a lot of mileage out of those patch notes.
01:25 <Schism> This is Stellaris, yes?
01:26 <Schism> Or would that be X4...
01:27 <Cepheid> Stellaris.
01:28 * Schism builds up, builds up, builds up on a single planet.
01:28 <Cepheid> "You can now steal relics when you're not in the galatron war, rather than only during the galatron war, though why you would steal any relic other than the Galatron is beyond me."

01:29 <Schism> Pffsh.
01:29 <Schism> The one-planet empire USED to be viable, I'm given to understand, but is no more. Alas!
01:30 * Schism asks Cepheid, "Do you have a flag?"
01:30 <Cepheid> No.
01:31 <Schism> Well, here's ours, we own you now.

01:41 <Schism> Correct.
01:41 <Cepheid> My dad loves the movie.
01:42 <Schism> Has he visited the doctor yet to determine whether he can regain his sense of taste?
01:44 <Schism> Jokes aside, really bad holiday movies are kind of a tradition of their own.

01:46 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
01:46 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Among Us - Bad Timing #4
01:47 <Schism> Cepheid: I now have the option to play Among Us, now that I don't have to worry about being late for work in the morning. Would you care to?
01:47 <Cepheid> Not right now. I just took my meds to go back to sleep.
01:47 <Schism> Ah yes, the exam. Well, here's hoping that it goes well!
01:49 <Cepheid> Mmhmm. I studied for it, so aside from stupidity like giving us 30 questions in a 30 minute exam, where we can't change our answers or go back to previous questions...

01:56 <Cepheid> It's what the exam will be like. He already confirmed it.
01:56 <Cepheid> So yes, a minute per question, our selection is final, and can't be changed, and we also can't go back to previous questions.
01:56 <Cepheid> To make it harder as well, every question is randomized, so if you ask a TA to clarify, you have to spend time explaining which question you got.
01:57 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-aj9mbi.dynamic.sonic.net)
01:57 <Schism> While an interesting way to run an exam, making that a final exam is the sort of thing a psychopath would do.
01:58 <ADragonDreaming> oof dah
01:59 * Schism seals ADragonDreaming in a pink room with no numbers left for the torturer, the number locked at '3', and music. THAT music.
02:01 <Cepheid> https://youtu.be/xArebX_mwbA?t=174 Now that's a hell of a play.
02:01 * ADragonDreaming starts singing all the annoying songs.
02:01 <Cepheid> Schism: It's not a final exam, fortunately. But I'm terrified to see what the final exam will be like.
02:01 <ADragonDreaming> you know. Small World after all, Song that never ends...
02:01 * Schism sings to ADra, "I am Henery the 8th I am. Henery the 8th I am I am."
02:02 <ADragonDreaming> I assume that someone is attemptign to break my sanity, so I will simply sing it back to them.
02:02 <Schism> Well, it's just a recording...
02:02 <ADragonDreaming> Ah.
02:03 * Cepheid sings in her best approximation of Lamb Chop's voice. "This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends, some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll just keep on singing it forever just because..."
02:03 <Schism> Though Pinkie Pie once forced Loki to listen to the Nyancat song for a week and a half on repeat, with varying volumes at random.
02:04 <Schism> By the time Nick Fury got to the poor jerk, he'd become completely incapable of speech.
02:05 <Schism> "Find this Diane Pinkamena Pie. Give her a full psych check and a promotion." "I would hold off on the psych eval."
02:06 <ADragonDreaming> Name order got mixed.
02:06 <Schism> Well, she got sorted into the Avengers universe. Diane Pie is perfectly normal there. Pinkamena, not so much.
02:07 <Cepheid> I like watching Among Us plays. Especially the imposters, when their soon-to-be-victims just stand there, and it looks like they're going "... Oh [REDACTED]."
02:07 * Ali personnaly thinks the most annoying songs are just now starting to be played, and are played for the next sixty plus days.

02:10 <Ali> The problem with the songs

02:10 <Ali> Is they're jingles, only a few minutes long
02:10 <Schism> THE problem?
02:10 <Ali> They are not ment to be played over a twenty four hour period non stop

02:28 <Cepheid> The problem with me and Among Us, honestly, is that I can't keep a straight face or voice. Thus, for voice chat variations of the game, I'm screwed. Meanwhile, text-wise and in general, I am a terrible liar.
02:30 *** Joins: Twilight_Sparkle (Adra@Pony-5bo1no.20dc.fhnt.0406.2601.IP)
02:31 <Schism> That was different. I somehow managed to kill two persons as my first time as an Imposter, and that won me the game. Though I lost terribly the first time as a crewmate, so.
02:31 <Schism> Got sliced in half on my second task, so there was that.
02:32 <Schism> TIL that while you're venting, the kill cooldown timer doesn't tick down.
02:33 <Cepheid> Yep, that's to avoid abuse, of course.
02:33 <Schism> Naturally.
02:33 <Cepheid> Because otherwise, an imposter could kill someone, then just vent and hide until the cooldown ends.
02:34 <Schism> I'm thinking, though, that if I want to play a full-fledged game, I should be the host.
02:34 <Cepheid> Oh?
02:34 <Schism> Eh, it's so popular that the top 5 games on the list keep getting filled.
02:34 <Schism> In instants.
02:34 <Cepheid> Heh.
02:35 * Schism randomly fights Cepheid for the pink colour.
02:35 <Cepheid> If I get purple, that's fine.
02:35 <Schism> Also good. And I'm fine with green.
02:35 <Schism> Also, there should be no indication of station use.
02:36 <Cepheid> Because the imposter has to play along, yeah. It kinda gives them away if they're standing there, and the station isn't being used. If anything...
02:36 <Schism> Also, Cepheids need to get some sleep.
02:36 <Cepheid> The imposter should be able to make use of the station.
02:36 <Cepheid> And yes, yes. I was about to close my laptop and do that.
02:37 <Schism> Rest well, then!
02:37 <Cepheid> Right. Thanks. See you at 7 AM or sooner, if I wake up way too early.
02:37 <Schism> You probably will.
02:37 <Cepheid> Probably. Anyways, laters.
02:38 <Cepheid> If I do wake up early though and you're around, I'll play a few games of Among Us.
02:38 <Schism> If we can get some other folks.
02:39 <Schism> It's really the sort of game you want to play with folks you know.
02:41 <ADragonDreaming> I was with red the whole time.
02:43 <Schism> What I should really do is just clear out the Investigations log in MHW...
02:44 <Schism> After disconnecting my controller because no, Capcom, I really don't want to play with that input device.
02:44 <ADragonDreaming> I am willing to assist. Though, have you unlocked Master Rank?
02:45 <Schism> I have yet to get into Iceborne, yes. At this point, I'm tempted to request assistance, because I've certainly let it smoulder for too long.
02:45 <ADragonDreaming> And have you curated your registered investigations?
02:45 <Schism> That I have.
02:46 <Schism> I mean to say that I have to clear up the registered investigation log.
02:46 <ADragonDreaming> The main thing I question is the "clearing out" - I find it easiest to keep interest by setting an equipment goal the investigations will enable.
02:46 <Schism> And I have some 275/400 logged.
02:46 <ADragonDreaming> Max of 75 registered at a time, tho.
02:47 <Schism> Oh. Yeah. Well, I need to clear out the deadwood.
02:49 <ADragonDreaming> art thou in a session already?
02:50 <Schism> Yes, but I'm sorting through those damned Investigations.
02:51 <ADragonDreaming> there's a button to delete all unregistered ones.
02:51 <ADragonDreaming> I will take session ID whenever you're ready.
02:52 <Schism> Oh. ... um.
02:52 * Schism takes a moment. "Oh. So..."
02:53 <Schism> This very PURPLE Paolumu is something I should probably save for later.
02:53 <ADragonDreaming> Tempered, aye.
02:53 <Schism> And you would probably be annoyed at a 15 minute time limit.
02:54 <ADragonDreaming> I'm MR 79.
02:54 <Schism> Let's not do Kulu-Ya-Ku and Black Diabolos as a secondary.
02:54 <ADragonDreaming> The only things in High Rank that are a threat are Arch-Tempered.
02:56 <Schism> I'm not quite at that stage yet, no.
02:56 <Schism> Okay, forget it. Delete everything I haven't poked.
02:57 <Schism> Still keeping some low-rank ones for funsies.
02:57 <ADragonDreaming> My tactic is to sort by a target, pick the best investigation on offer for that target, register it, repeat.
02:57 <ADragonDreaming> Once done, dump the lot.
02:57 <Schism> Good call.
02:57 <Schism> I still have to fight Teostra.
02:57 <ADragonDreaming> Eminently doable.
02:58 <Schism> Where's my Fireproof charm.
02:59 <Schism> There, that'll do.
02:59 <ADragonDreaming> Bring blast resistance as well.
02:59 <Schism> Hm. Don't have.
03:00 <ADragonDreaming> Session ID?

03:01 <Schism> How do I speak.
03:01 <Schism> Damnit.
03:02 <ADragonDreaming> we could cut the gordian knot and do a Discord call, at your option.
03:02 <Schism> That is a possibility. OR...
03:03 <ADragonDreaming> alternately, check your keyboard settings. Look under "melee weapons" and "ranged weapons"
03:03 <ADragonDreaming> There's a "Display chat window" keye.
03:03 <ADragonDreaming> I believe it defaults to Insert.

12:33 <Cepheid> Best advice I can give is to break the wings ASAP. Causes it to stagger more frequently when doing many of it's attacks.
12:34 * ConfusionRift goes on an expedition, and the handler starts seeing gashes and fur. "Yep, it's him. Angry Void Pseudowyvern."
12:35 * Cepheid can't recall what monster that is.
12:36 <Cepheid> Ah. Nargy.
12:37 * Schism flops in, and noms upon a bagel with some smoked salmon, dill and cream cheese.
12:37 * Cepheid just chooses to starve.
12:37 * Schism passes Cepheid some toast with cinnamon, sugar and butter.
12:38 <Cepheid> Hello, Mom.
12:38 <Schism> Pff. X3
12:38 <Cepheid> My mother's been making that on a regular basis as of late.
12:39 * Schism also noms upon a deviljho.
12:39 * Cepheid watches Schism take dragon elemental damage.
12:39 <Schism> That jar of pickles did not last as long as I would have expected.
12:40 * Cepheid goes and takes some tylenol 2.
12:44 <Cepheid> o/` Margaret is Greek, you geek, it means a pearl; I'm a pure girl- o/` *Character singing song in question is wearing gothic lolita with thigh-highs and absolute territory. Also an assassin.*
12:45 <ConfusionRift> Sounds very familiar.
12:45 <Cepheid> Philistine, from No More Heroes 2.
12:46 <Schism> Ah, Margaret Moonlight.
12:46 <Cepheid> I much prefer the Japanese version of the song.
12:46 <ConfusionRift> Yep, knew it sounded familiar.
12:46 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_0t15Mtmxs
12:46 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
12:46 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Philistine Fukuda Mix] No More Heroes 2 Desperate Struggle Music Extended
12:46 <Cepheid> There's apparently three versions of the song, for different regions. One for the West, one for the East, and... One for Australia, apparently. Which I can't find.
12:46 <ConfusionRift> Friend played the game and showed me that song. Yes, the Japanese version is far superior in every way shape and form.
12:49 <Cepheid> I can't imagine just how difficult it is to weild a pair of anti-materiel rifles modified to also act as scythes.
12:50 <Schism> You might ask the cast of RWBY.
12:50 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:51 <Cepheid> I wish MH actually had a proper scythe weapon class, regardless of impractical nature.
12:51 <Cepheid> I like how they look.
12:52 <Schism> Could mod one in as a great blade, but that'd probably look wonky.
12:52 <ConfusionRift> Wish they brought back the cool and ridiculous designs from before.
12:52 <Cepheid> There's that. There are scythe-appearing weapons in MHWorld.
12:52 <Cepheid> I would assume that's happening with Rise, Rifty.
12:52 <Cepheid> Since it's going to a mix of New World and Old World style.
12:53 <Schism> I'm sure there's a pair of Dual Blades with a sickle appearance
12:53 <Schism> .
12:53 <ConfusionRift> There were.
12:53 <Cepheid> Confirmed monsters thus far are Magnalamo, Tetranodon, Aknosom and... Arzuros.
12:54 <ConfusionRift> And I think there was also a long sword that look like a scythe.
12:54 <ConfusionRift> *looked
12:54 <Cepheid> Yeah, there is.
12:54 <Schism> Well, Arzuros certainly looks like a frightening enough monster. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a7/dc/a1/a7dca17b9fc9581bde40a5600392063f.jpg
12:54 <Cepheid> Yeah, he's a giant bear with unusual colourings.
12:54 <ConfusionRift> Aah, the blue Yogi is back. :P
12:54 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1331870305451589632
12:55 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1331145533713334274 Yeah, Arzy is back.
12:55 <Schism> But Can You Pet the Dog in MH Rise?
12:55 <ConfusionRift> Are those... doggo mounts?
12:55 <Cepheid> Dog mounts/companions.
12:56 <Cepheid> Apparently, what's going on with rise regarding companions is this: Cats are being delegated to a support role. They can fight, but they'll be more like their World variants and less combat heavy. Dogs are being brought in as the combat role, along with something nice.
12:56 <Cepheid> You can ride them like the tailraiders of World, but rather than having no control other than "seek out this target", you have direct control over where it goes.
12:57 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1330861477369036802 Then we have this madness.
12:57 <Schism> Those scoutflies have gotten a lot stronger.
12:58 <Cepheid> Basically, we can climb most surfaces now in some manner, do wall-running, and then come the wire bugs, which are basically portable versions of them bugs that are all over MH World that let you do swinging.
12:58 * ConfusionRift waves at Link as he runs up the mountain.
12:59 <Cepheid> They aren't super-OP, though. You have limited uses of them.
12:59 <Cepheid> In that you have to let them recharge.
12:59 <Cepheid> Obviously, outside of battle, they recharge much faster.
12:59 <Cepheid> In battle, it's much slower.
13:00 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1329944628980641792 Tetranodon vs Arzuros.
13:01 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1328608819556048897 I also get the strong impression someone was playing Metroid when designing the Tetranodon armor.
13:02 <Schism> I love the doggo variant.
13:02 <Cepheid> That said, I'm interested in the fact that they showed separate armors with separate classes of weapons. I wonder if we're going back to the Blademaster/Gunner stuff.
13:04 <Cepheid> I'm fine with it, myself. Just, I think a better way to handle the setup is "Armors for two different weapon classes, but a character can use gunner armor with a melee weapon if they're so inclined and crazy enough to do so."
13:07 <Cepheid> ...
13:07 * Schism giggles. 'Twilight had hatched the egg of purple Spykoranuvellitar, known as 'Spike'. And Trixie had hatched the egg of red Smauglaureafeanaro... known as 'Smaug'.'
13:07 <Cepheid> Spitfire, how long have you been locked in this room for?
13:07 * Schism peers at Spitfire.
13:07 <Schism> Offer him your arm, see if he goes for it?
13:08 <Cepheid> It's hard to see him in the dark, and he likes to slink around. I wouldn't be surprised if he snuck in either I or my parents entered this room for some reason.
13:08 <Schism> Quite probably.
13:08 * Schism looks outside at Silent Hill.
13:09 * ConfusionRift sighs. Suspects the old system is back. He didn't miss it at all.
13:09 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1326739813991473152
13:09 <Schism> I'm 90% certain this isn't hallucinogenic fog caused by the flowers around the lake, but...
13:09 <Cepheid> I don't miss it either, but at the same time I don't hate it either. It's about as bad as World's system.
13:10 <Schism> Totally should have brought barrels last night while dealing with Teostra... oh well.
13:10 * Schism keeps forgetting that bomb barrels exist.
13:10 * Cepheid is not a fan of the armor system of World, mostly because it doesn't really solve the problem that the other games had in it's entirety.
13:10 <Cepheid> You still have to collect two armor sets worth of parts, primarily.
13:11 <Cepheid> Okay, so it was only a few hours he was trapped in here.
13:11 <Schism> Or one armour set's worth and every single Charm in the game... multiple times.
13:11 <Cepheid> My parents were the last ones to enter the room, and that was at around 6:30 AM.
13:11 <Schism> Oh, that's barely an hour and a half then.
13:12 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
13:12 <Cepheid> He's survived worse.
13:12 <Cepheid> His handling of it is interesting, though.
13:12 <ConfusionRift> Come on. You introduce a new grappling system, a locating device that works upon monster research, using the joysticks for the camera (halleluja), and more active item use.
13:13 <Cepheid> Tizzy freaks out and starts scratching and meowing at the closed door. The longer it goes on, the more she scratches, and slowly damages the carpet.
13:13 <Cepheid> Spitfire just sits there, paws at the door a bit, then when he sees it isn't going to open, he goes and finds a comfy spot and lays down.
13:13 <Schism> Well, he knows you'll go looking for him in time.
13:13 * ConfusionRift drinks a potion by eating the bottle whole, making a banana splatting sound.
13:13 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Yeah, the joysticks for camera thing was implemented back in 4U, not new to World. :P
13:14 <Cepheid> The grappling system appears to have been refined into the Wire Bugs, and the ability to climb practically any surface. I assume the more vertical, the harder it is to climb, and the more stamina that is used.
13:14 <Cepheid> As for the locating device...
13:15 <Cepheid> I haven't seen any evidence of Scoutflies, but at the same time, all example footage shown has had monster locations being known, but without the game identifying what each monster is.
13:16 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhxcYiAxbsM&t=168s For example here. The monsters are all shown as question marks on the map.
13:18 * ConfusionRift points at Schism. "So you CAN pet the doggo." :P
13:19 <Schism> Indeed. :p
13:19 <Cepheid> Yeah.
13:19 <Cepheid> You can pet the doggo, pet the cats, etc.
13:19 <Cepheid> And the dogs are your battle companions/mounts.
13:19 <Schism> https://nintendosoup.com/product/monster-hunter-rise-palamute-big-plush-55cm/
13:19 <Schism> want...
13:19 <Cepheid> I guarantee one thing, though.
13:19 <Cepheid> You are going to see a *LOT* of players just randomly playing with the wirebugs.
13:20 <Schism> Well, of course.
13:20 <Cepheid> Oh my gods all the wirebug usage.
13:20 <Cepheid> With respect to stuff I want to see from the previous games...
13:21 <Cepheid> I'd love to see Frenzy/Apex status back.
13:21 <ConfusionRift> Yep, it's the CrossCode avalanche of people with wirebugs.
13:21 * Schism watches all the players in CrossCode randomly jump around and just have fun.
13:22 <Schism> Or better yet: "JUMPING PARTY!" </ElfOnlyInn>
13:23 <Cepheid> And then you're going to have the crazy people who perform some crazy stuff with them.
13:23 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/SunhiLegend/status/1330333766028562435 Like this.
13:24 <Cepheid> Dragon Piercer is amazingly satisfying to pull off.
13:24 <Schism> Shall have to look into playing bow sometime. o3o
13:25 <Cepheid> Flashy looking. Feels like it hits hard. Actually does.
13:25 <Cepheid> Yeah, good luck with that Schism. The keyboard/mouse control setup for World makes using the bow a pain in the arse.
13:25 <Cepheid> I had to abuse my 20-button mouse with it's configuration software to make it easier to use.
13:26 * ConfusionRift throws his controller.
13:26 <Cepheid> Interestingly, using a bow with a controller is easier than the default Keyboard+Mouse setup.
13:26 <Cepheid> Outside of the faster aiming.
13:27 <Cepheid> The core of the problem with Keyboard+Mouse is that the bindings are really limited.
13:28 <Schism> I mean, I DO have a perfectly good XBoxesque controller...
13:28 <Cepheid> First, you can only have two separate binds for each action. Secondly, no input can be bound to multiple actions. Thirdly, you can't do modifier+input bindings.
13:29 <Cepheid> And lastly, some bindings cannot be changed or modified.
13:29 <Schism> Mh. That does make things frustrating indeed.
13:29 <Cepheid> Or, worse yet, are broken because of input delay.
13:29 <Cepheid> The item wheel for example, for quick access to items.
13:29 <Cepheid> It's pretty fast and responsive with a controller.
13:29 <Cepheid> Not so much with keyboard+mouse.
13:30 <Cepheid> It activates just as fast, but pointing it to an item in the wheel is sluggish.
13:30 <Cepheid> You have to move the mouse quite a distance just to select an item with it.
13:30 <Cepheid> It's also permanently bound to <Item Browse>+Middle Mouse Button.
13:31 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, they mentioned the paintball (bleck), but it looks like once tagged, it's tagged for the rest of the hunt. They also mentioned a scout owl, which sounds like they work like the old scout balloons.
13:31 <Cepheid> You can change the browse button, but can't change the input associated with the wheel after holding down the browse button.
13:31 <Cepheid> Yeah, I saw the scout owl. I didn't hear about that because I didn't have the volume up when I watched, but I saw a video of the player releasing an owl.
13:32 <Cepheid> As for the paintballs, I'm actually fine with that approach, so long as it's permanent throughout the quest.
13:32 <ConfusionRift> I would be more than fine if it was permanent. The old paintball days are really something I did not miss.
13:32 <Cepheid> I suspect the reason it's so divergent from World is due to different development groups. The team that handled MHGen is the one handling MHRise, not the team from MHWorld.
13:33 <ConfusionRift> Which is what worries me.
13:33 <Cepheid> I suspect there is input from the World team, though.
13:33 <Cepheid> That said, I also suspect the World team is currently working on the next iteration of MHWorld.
13:34 <ConfusionRift> Okay, so breaking parts that also drop items is still there.
13:34 <Cepheid> Hmm? You mean the shinies dropping on part breaking?
13:35 <Cepheid> Or more like the carvable parts like tails, crowns, etc?
13:35 <ConfusionRift> Yep, parts falling from part break (shinies). I believe they were always there, but they are more visible now than before.
13:36 <Cepheid> While the earlier games had shinies that dropped on part break, they weren't as prominent or frequent, and often resulted in stuff like Wyvern Tears and such.
13:36 <ConfusionRift> Yeeeeep.
13:36 <ConfusionRift> It would be crazy if they decided to just bring all the monster back.
13:37 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:37 <Cepheid> Confirmed monsters, based on imagery, videos, and such, are: Rathian, Rathalos, Arzuros, Magnalamo(Flagship monster/big boss), Tetranodon, and Aknosom.
13:38 <Cepheid> 20 questions, 30 minutes, can't look ahead on questions, can't go back to questions answered...
13:38 <Cepheid> "This is not meant to stress you out or make you panic."
13:39 <Schism> Suuuuure.
13:39 <Schism> Least it's not 30 questions.
13:39 <Cepheid> Still.
13:40 <ConfusionRift> Oh no. they made the staff far more aerial. :P
13:41 <Cepheid> Well, yeah.
13:41 <Cepheid> With the wire bugs, they kind of need to give it something else to do now.
13:41 <Cepheid> Since in all games prior to Rise, the Insect Glaive was about jumping freaking everywhere.
13:41 <Cepheid> Even in mid-air.
13:42 <Cepheid> Anyways, testo in 5 minutes. I'll be back in 30 or so minutes, assuming the stress doesn't kill me.
13:42 <ConfusionRift> Okayday. Good luck!
13:43 * Cepheid puts on some music to help calm nerves.
13:44 * Schism eagerly awaits the point when she'll have less testo. Er, that is.
13:44 <Cepheid> Wrong kind of testo.
13:44 <Schism> Indeed.
13:45 <Cepheid> ...
13:45 <Cepheid> What.
13:46 <Cepheid> The quiz only had TWO QUESTIONS for me. He messed up somewhere.
13:46 <Schism> Well, that was a quick 30 minutes.
13:47 * Cepheid contacts prof.
13:47 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
13:49 <Cepheid> I seriously think he forgot to add a zero to the number of questions in the system.
13:49 <Cepheid> He uses a randomizing system that the school implemented for picking random questions from a pool. You specify the pool, then the number of questions to draw from it.
13:49 <ConfusionRift> Oh, your Palico gets his own doggo. And... so that's what that image from earlier was. You can use the wirebug to go in the air, and throw barrel bombs while in midair. There seems to also be changes to combat. Aside from being more aerial, it's a bit quicker and more active. Ooooh. And looks like bow(guns) are gonna be similar to MHW.
13:49 <Cepheid> He said there'd be 20 questions, but I only got 2. He forgot a zero.
13:49 <ConfusionRift> Whoops.
13:50 <Schism> ConfusionRift, if the Palico's doggo mount is not a Shiba Inu, I will be mildly perturbed.
13:50 <Cepheid> I'd be happy with the Bow(gun) changes from World being ported to Rise.
13:50 <Cepheid> Especially losing the "Different charge shot types" for the bow.
13:50 <Cepheid> That made using a bow somewhat more complicated.
13:52 <Cepheid> Though, it'd be nice to bring it back, but keep stuff like Dragon Piercer and Thousand Dragons, along with the Arc Shot.
13:52 <ConfusionRift> I didn't mind the charge types, except when they weren't consistent. Like how later bows had 4 completely different shots.
13:52 <Cepheid> Mmm.
13:53 <Cepheid> I have to admit, being able to hit a monster with five arrows instead of a single arrow was nice.
13:53 <Cepheid> Or having piercing arrows all the time.
13:53 <ConfusionRift> Yep. The Rath bow destroyed parts liek crazy with spread. :P
13:53 <ConfusionRift> *like
13:54 <Cepheid> Basically, it seems like all of the special shots were combined into one, using Dragon Piercer.
13:54 <Lumindia> Where's my Dragonator
13:54 <Cepheid> It effectively acts as a powerful piercing, multi-hit shot.
13:54 <Cepheid> Of course, using it is tricky.
13:54 * Schism uses the Dragonator on a Great Jagras, which is really quite overkill.
13:55 <Cepheid> Once you trigger it, you're held in place until it fires off, and your aiming arc is 45 degrees, and you can't go beyond it.
13:55 * ConfusionRift finishes a quick heavy bowgun practice, and gives it a break.
13:55 <Cepheid> But man, if the Dragon Piercer hits, it hurts, even from a long range.
13:55 <Cepheid> Like, twice the damage of a normal charge shot over multiple strikes due to piercing.
13:56 <Cepheid> So, instead of dealing say, 15-20 damage in a shot, you deal something like anywhere from 5x to 10x 30-40 damage hits.
13:56 <Cepheid> You *WANT* Stealth as a skill, and for the palico to use the shieldspire, or have a disposable friend on hand.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> Also have to practice bows. It's been so long since bows. Shouldn't be too bad. It's not like in the past, with crummy starting bows.
13:57 <Cepheid> You know, it just dawned on me.
13:57 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?
13:57 <Cepheid> I was concerned with that "Craft high-rank weapons and start from there on the tree." was a little unbalanced. But then I realized, previous games technically allowed that.
13:58 <Cepheid> You can craft weapons far into the trees. The only difference was no down-crafting.
13:58 <Cepheid> It just looks like it's something new because you can see the actual tree instead.
13:58 * Schism nodnods.
13:58 <Cepheid> And gods, I hope they kept that tree and the wishlist.
13:58 <ConfusionRift> You needed more or rarer material if you want to craft straight from a tree junction, and you can't roll them back.
13:59 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
13:59 <Cepheid> Which is the case in World as well.
13:59 <Cepheid> You can't downcraft from a constructed weapon, since the relevant weapon node was always one that locked the upgrade.
14:00 <Cepheid> Hum. No update on the quiz problem. I am just going to assume, for all intents and purposes, that it won't be fixed immediately.
14:00 <Cepheid> Aaand just as I say that..
14:00 <Cepheid> Quiz was postponed.
14:00 <ConfusionRift> And you still need to get relevant parts, so you can't just craft something 4 tiers away, till you have found parts relevant to that path first.
14:00 <ConfusionRift> Hah!
14:00 <Cepheid> He doesn't know what happened.
14:01 <Schism> Bet most of the students do.
14:01 <ConfusionRift> ^
14:01 <Cepheid> It's as I said.
14:01 <Cepheid> He likely forgot to add a zero to the number of questions.
14:01 <Schism> Quite!
14:01 <Cepheid> That, or the system is just plain broken.
14:01 <Cepheid> I mean, it *IS* maintained by a network team that is comprised of students.
14:01 <Schism> Also a strong possibility.
14:01 <Cepheid> Also, Moodle was programmed by employed students.
14:02 <Schism> So this means that you can go back to nap for an hour or so.
14:02 <ConfusionRift> Watching this bit of footage of the game tells me that combat will be from MHW, or derives heavily from it.
14:02 <Schism> Imagine, just relaxing in your warm, comfortable bed...
14:03 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's heavily derived from it, Rifty.
14:03 <ConfusionRift> So... yeah. Might look forward to it.
14:04 <Cepheid> The wire bugs alone would have told me that, as well as the palamute riding. The former is an extension upon the grapple bugs from World, and the latter is an extension of the tailraider riding from World.
14:04 <Cepheid> There may be multiple teams working on different MH games, but they do communicate.
14:04 <ConfusionRift> And building a brand new combat system would take longer.
14:05 <Schism> Reinventing the wheel is occasionally useful, but typically only when the old one was all squareish.
14:05 <ConfusionRift> This one works, so it wouldn't make sense to start fresh again.
14:06 * ConfusionRift looks at Schism. "Capcom. That is all."
14:06 <Schism> Yes, yes, we are aware of Capcom's predilection for changing things that needn't be changed.
14:07 <ConfusionRift> Or reusing the worst from the best.
14:09 <Cepheid> Truth told, the game is probably using a stripped down version of World's engine, because I have seen the occasional glimps of the quick wheel and such, and the appearance of it, down to styling, is identical to MHWorld's version.
14:10 <Cepheid> Really, the biggest thing I am going to miss is keyboard+mouse controls.
14:10 <ConfusionRift> Yep, the quick wheel is there, with some other flare to it, but it's the same wheel. And it looked like they were using the old item icons, but those could be placeholders.
14:11 <Cepheid> I don't understand why developers don't bother with keyboard+mouse on modern consoles, these days. It's not like they can't be used. USB HID makes it so that all keyboards and mice are pretty much PNP.
14:11 <Cepheid> And the consoles currently support keyboards as is.
14:11 <Cepheid> Switch included.
14:13 <Cepheid> I've not seen mouse support though, but it's not like it'd be difficult to support.
14:14 <Cepheid> Hilariously, of all the input devices that we make use of, one of the hardest to get working in OSes are touchpads.
14:15 <Cepheid> Touchpads universally seem to have quirks that require special handling by the OS to get the devices to work right as an input device.
14:22 <ConfusionRift> Considering how they work, they would be more complex to implement. And it looks like it's still very finicky.
14:23 <Cepheid> It's not so much that they are complex to implement. It's more along the lines of "manufacturers have no freaking clue what they're doing."
14:23 <Cepheid> They cut corners on touchpad implementations.
14:24 <Cepheid> Or the controller chips have defects.
14:25 <Cepheid> Oh, hey, the professor decided to host a lecture today in leui of the problems with his quiz/exam.
14:28 <ConfusionRift> Hah!
14:29 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1327953940617445377
14:30 * ConfusionRift is stuck in the midst of combat... and his Palico is just blowing bubbles in a corner. "...this is fun."
14:31 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1325751569615261696
14:31 <Cepheid> Meanwhile the palamute has set up an umbrella and is resting under it with a drink.
14:32 <Lumindia> happy thanksgiving to those that celebrate it
14:32 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/MH_Rise_JP/status/1325392980098781185 Farting snails.
14:32 <ConfusionRift> They did mention that the hunter will be more active, as in probably have more emotions and gestures.
14:33 <ConfusionRift> Happy Thanksgiving, Lumindia!
14:33 <Lumindia> ♥
14:34 * ConfusionRift puts down a snail, and just farts health on him. "But it smells soooo baaaaad."
14:38 * Cepheid graghs.
14:38 <Cepheid> My head...
14:38 <Cepheid> I'm starting to think I'm sick with something.

14:42 <Cepheid> And yes, Schism, more sleep is sounding good.
14:43 <Cepheid> The hardest part about it really is that laying down seems to make my headaches worse right now.
14:47 <Schism> Maybe just rest your head on your arms and nap that way?
14:48 <Cepheid> Same deal.
14:48 <Cepheid> For some reason, my head currently does not like having pressure applied to it.
14:49 <Schism> Urgh. Hopefully it's not just the humidity.
14:52 * Cepheid vents repeatedly in front of Schism.
14:53 <Cepheid> Apparently, a screensnap of the next map for Among Us was revealed recently. It's the airship from the Henry Stickmin series.
14:53 * Schism watches, while the Benny Hill theme plays.
14:53 <Schism> Oh, nice!
14:57 * Cepheid watches a player walk in on a corpse, being followed by another player. "Oh dear."
14:58 <Cepheid> ... And then the murderer pops out of the vent, kill's the first player, and manages to pin the blame on the other player.
15:05 * Cepheid prepares some instant noods.
15:08 * Cepheid immediately keels over sick to stomach. "... I think I might have the flu."
15:11 <Schism> Didn't you just get a flu shot? You might be experiencing some symptoms there.
15:12 <Cepheid> Two weeks ago.

15:15 <Schism> Hrm. Well, it does mutate.
15:17 <Cepheid> Plus, it's not guaranteed as we have to guess what the dominant strain will be every year.
15:18 <Schism> Could just be due to what you ate, of course.
15:18 <Schism> A stomach bug mostly means 'hey, this chicken last night really wasn't all that good'.
15:20 <Schism> Cepheid, I'm sure you've heard this one before -- but what do you call a labyrinth set in a cornfield?
15:21 <Cepheid> A maize.
15:21 <Schism> Thank you. X3
15:22 <Cepheid> The Amaizing Corne Maize.
15:23 * Cepheid wanders off to do a quick chore, then back to bed.
15:25 * Schism hugs the Cepheid, and offers her a plush Palamute to snug.
15:27 <Cepheid> Not the flu. Ow. Inner-ear infection, left side.
15:28 <Schism> Ow. That'll do it... uergh. More antibiotics?
15:28 <Cepheid> Which would explain nausea, headache, pressure sensitivity, etc.
15:28 <Cepheid> Nah, I got ear drops.
15:28 <Schism> Ah, that's at least good... in the end run.
15:29 * Schism slices a Kulu-Ya-Ku in half, leaving the bone open to observation. Deviljho creates an Emergency Meeting. [Hunter is sus.] [Hey, I was picking herbs.] [Prove it.] ... [*presents potions*] ... [Hunter was the Imposter.]

15:35 * Schism places a bear claw in Angeline's mouth.
15:35 <Cepheid> Cue growling.
15:35 * Angeline blechs.
15:35 <Schism> Oh. ...yes.
15:36 <Schism> Angeline: It's a donut!
15:36 * Angeline starts to cry because Schism hurt a poor bear.
15:36 <Schism> A donut with raisins and almonds and syrup.
15:36 <Angeline> ewww
15:36 <Angeline> raisins are gross
15:36 * Angeline eats good hearty branflake cereal.
15:37 * Schism grumphs, and is no longer Angeline's friend. Though she does shove over some fruit-filled yogurt to pour on the bran flakes.
15:37 <Schism> (No raisins. Lots of mango.)
15:38 * Angeline prefers her bran plain.
15:38 <Schism> Even the most bland bran cereal does still have a modicum of sugar, to make it palatable to modern tongues.
15:38 <Schism> But I will admit I've done the same myself. Sliced strawberries?
15:39 <Schism> Oh. That's not construction. That's them futzing with the sewers on the corner.
15:40 * Schism can choke down some bran, in flake or other style, but she always finds it better with a bit of milk, or fruit, or even a little honey.
15:42 * Lumindia rolls over to Angie, boops, then rolls away
15:42 <Lumindia> o wo
15:43 * Schism rolls away from Lumindia. <.< She is just le tired and probably will spend much of the day catching up on lost sleep.
15:43 * Lumindia pets Schism, gives some tea and a blanket
15:43 * Schism wears the tea and drinks the blanket.
15:44 * Schism briefly, thereafter, coughs up a cleverly knitted marshmallow pillow.
15:48 <Lumindia> ...
15:48 <Lumindia> impressive
15:51 <Schism> Nine days of work in a row, leading into the hellscape that is December, have clearly taken a toll on my sanity.
15:52 <Schism> The fact that I'm more and more worried about my endo appointment in a few days does not help.
16:00 <Schism> ... I was all set for a good outpour of emotions, and then the city decided that it would be a good idea to get the whole building to vibrate due to pre-winter maintenance on this one day that it's not that cold, and now I hate everything so _[redacted]_ emotions.
16:03 * Angeline doesn't like fruits or veggies.
16:06 * Schism pours Angeline a bowl of chicken ramen. (What she doesn't know is that the noodles are vegetable noodles.)

16:10 * Angeline continues to eat her bran.
16:11 * Schism just now realizes that she has a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. "I am not a clever girl."
16:11 <Schism> This does not, however, help much with the resonance...

16:45 <ADragonDreaming> Aye.
16:47 <Cepheid> So, ADra, you'll not believe how my test went today.
16:48 <ADragonDreaming> Try me.
16:48 <Cepheid> Basically, the professor didn't set it up right. It had a grand total of two questions, instead of 20 questions, and as a result, has to be rescheduled for another day
16:48 <ADragonDreaming> Ahahahaha
16:48 <ADragonDreaming> But also, unfortuante.
16:55 <Cepheid> I mean, it could have been worse. He could have decided to just go along with it, and our final mark on the exam was either 0%, 50% or 100%.

17:25 <Cepheid> What movie?
17:25 <Schism> The Truman Show.
17:26 <Cepheid> Never seen it.
17:27 <Schism> Oh, it's an excellent Jim Carrey movie, one of his three best.
17:27 <Schism> The protagonist comes to what he thinks is his mother, illustrating the reasons why the world he's living in can't be real. She not only dismisses these claims outright, she then dresses him in children's clothing and sends him to his room.
17:31 <Cepheid> So long as it's not Elf, I'll give it a check at some point.
17:31 <Schism> It's on Netflix.
17:33 <Schism> I'm just... honestly terrified. And bemused, because at every single instance of the film there's product placement.

18:15 <NitroTheFurry> Okay, thanks
18:15 <Schism> ahhh...
18:16 <Schism> Excuse me, but I'm really really terrified by how deeply one can gaslight someone.
18:19 <Cepheid> This family.
18:19 <Cepheid> I tell my dad that I'm going to bed, and to please be quiet.
18:19 <Cepheid> He comes home.
18:19 <Cepheid> He wants to make a spaghetti sauce. So he grabs the largest pot, which has multiple smaller pots in it. He drops it.
18:19 <Cepheid> He then goes to get a jar of spices. Drops that. Fortunately it didn't break, but it still made a loud clunk.
18:20 <Cepheid> Then he goes to use the microwave. He drops the frozen ground beef on the countertop.
18:22 <Cepheid> If you need a stealthy assassin, I would advise not asking my family.
18:23 <Cepheid> They'd not only alert every guard in the facility, they'd wake up their target, their three dogs, a nearby cat, and somehow cause the dead to rise from the local graveyard.

18:41 <Ali> Gussing an apartment is being a 'tad' too loud?

18:43 <Ali> I would ask why they would be doing that on a holiday, but then I remembered durrr not murica.
18:43 <Cepheid> Take that vibrating sensation, apply it to thinks that you normally wouldn't expect to cause it, and you got what life is like for me in a world of noise. Lawnmowers? Feels like something's pressing up against me. Wheed whacker? Feels like something's rattling my head. Garbage truck idling nearby? Whole house is shaking, even though no one else can feel it.
18:44 <Schism> Eh, lots of Canadians celebrate it on this day anyway. But ultimately, I don't know how you feel, but I can get the barest knowledge...
18:44 <Ali> Least you don't have water making you cry yet.
18:46 <Cepheid> I blame the "lose one sense, others pick up the slack" behavior that one's senses have.
18:47 <Schism> Ali, the tap in the kitchen drips in an odd fashion. Unless I turn it to the side, it will keep me up with an irregular drip which has been used to great effect in torture.
18:47 <Ali> I mean running water Schism, not the dreaded drip
18:48 <Cepheid> You haven't heard my mother turning on the tap for her bathtub.
18:48 <Schism> So we're all afraid of water. Good to know.
18:48 <Cepheid> Not afraid. Just annoyed by the sound of it.
18:49 <Schism> Potato, Lalafell.
18:49 <Cepheid> Rain tends to be quite loud because our skylight magnifies the sound of rain hitting it. Meanwhile, the piping for the water to my mother's bathtub seems to have zero insulation of any sort on it, and is extremely loud.
18:50 <Ali> God I have problems with downpours of rain while driving
18:51 <Ali> Its not crippling, but its a test of sanity to either keep going or find a way out of it.
18:52 <Cepheid> Myself, the creepy stuff is mostly in the form of "I'm hearing whispering voices, but I can't make out what they're saying." in certain scenarios that seem to have no common factor.
18:55 <Cepheid> If there is a common factor, it'd be a low-level hum. Say, from case fans of a computer. A PC, particularly, with the larger fans. Laptop fan, not so much. But it's not specific to PCs either, it's pretty much anything that makes a low, barely audible hum.
18:56 <Cepheid> My guess is, the hum, with the tinnitus I got, somehow combines just right to create what sounds like a cacophony of whispering.

22:43 <Dappled> Bloodborne.
22:43 <Schism> Are you kidding? The smol child would love it.
22:43 <NitroTheFurry> YES
22:43 <Dappled> Her parents would not.
22:44 <NitroTheFurry> I love bloodborne!
22:44 <Schism> Her parents sound like a bunch of fussy old ninnies. As though it's any worse than anything on television.
22:44 <Dappled> She's three.
22:45 <Schism> I still fail to see the problem, but, well, you're not her parents anyway.
22:45 <Dappled> Also thanks to the glory that is streaming services she isn't going to encounter any tv shows outside of her demographics by accident.
22:46 <Dappled> Bloodborne is fun, but there is a lot of imagery in there that is nightmare inducing, especially for the small.
22:46 <Schism> I don't understand. How is she supposed to get a proper education?
22:47 <Dappled> That's the education systems job. When she gets to kindergarten then she can get educated.
22:48 * Schism looks at Dappled and tilts her head 45 degrees.
22:49 <Dappled> Also much better to have adults around who understand the rating systems and the content they are exposing children to, rather than giving them free reign.
22:49 <Schism> Dappled, you and I have very different definitions of when education begins and what it entails.

22:54 <Schism> Very well-done, they're now abandonware and were some of the games which actually led me to become the twisted mockery of life I am today.
22:54 * Dappled has the perfect edutainment game: The Typing of the Dead. /s
22:55 <Schism> They taught reading, mathematics, and in some cases science and critical thinking. I can't recommend them enough.
22:55 <Schism> You can find them on archive.org, or I can provide you with some links.
22:57 * Dappled 'll search them up later. But she's not ready for full compy yet. We don't want her to end up like me, only existing on the computer and videogame systems outside of work.
22:57 <Schism> Dappled: archive.org also has Number Muncher and Word Muncher.
22:57 <Dappled> But does it have Mario Teaches Typing?
22:57 <Schism> It does.
22:58 <Dappled> This is the greatest website of all time.

23:01 *** Quits: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-sme.fv9.240.188.IP) (The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.)
23:02 * Dappled can finally learn how to type properly.
23:03 *** Joins: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-sme.fv9.240.188.IP)
23:04 * Dappled wishes he could Demon's Souls but doesn't want to plug in the PS3. He's lazy.
23:08 <Dappled> On the subject of Bloodborne and small child, I work nights, so her parents would be even angrier with me for giving her nightmares.
23:09 <Schism> I suppose that's fair. May I suggest a game which her parents would be willing to accept?
23:09 <Schism> https://archive.org/details/msdos_Super_Solvers_Treasure_Mountain_1990
23:10 * Dappled has many games that her parents would accept, but he gets strongly fixated or drifts indecisively between a few different games.
23:10 <Schism> Though if she starts humming those songs, I bear no responsibility.
23:10 * Dappled 's just grateful she stopped screaming "Let it Go" over and over again.
23:10 <Jackie> Why does Intel and AMD have dense pages of their x86-32 and x86-64 manuals?
23:11 <Dappled> Why wouldn't they be dense? It's got like 4 languages.
23:12 <Jackie> It has over 5000 pages
23:12 <Jackie> All in English
23:14 <Schism> Only 5,000? I'd expect something larger.
23:18 <Dappled> Also on the subject of parenting/videogames. Games like Monster Hunter and Spider-Man are completely on the table for her to see. Just bloodborne is gory and horror.
23:25 * Dappled supposes he could Salt and Sanctuary.
23:26 * Lumindia boops all the active ponies
23:26 <Lumindia> :D
23:28 * Dappled falls over. Drops a mixture of Salt, Souls, and Blood Echoes.

23:55 <Schism> Dappled, while I agree that some games might not be on the table for your niece/relative/friend to see, some involvement in learning is never a bad thing.
23:56 <Dappled> I'm lazy though.
23:56 <Schism> Get her a V-Tech Socrates.
23:57 <Dappled> She's 3. Greek philosphers are probably beyond her.
23:57 <Schism> Not quite what I meant.
23:58 <Schism> The V-Tech Socrates was an edutainment system which included a wireless keyboard and mouse, and had a number of amusing mini-games.
