00:01 <Schism> The '90s had so many wonderful toys.

00:27 * Dappled considers trying to 100% one his favorite games of all time... Slime Rancher.

00:36 <Schism> It is at this point that the following will appear.  <Ian McConville> Good news!  We've just released a new set of content for Slime Rancher which includes a MORAL CHOICE!

00:44 * Ali flops over the Dappled pono

00:48 * Dappled is scared of this. Hides under Ali.

00:48 <Dappled> Why would a game about collecting and selling slime poop need moral choices?

00:54 <Schism> I dunno.  The developers of Mass Effect never asked that.

00:55 <Schism> And the moral ambiguity of slime poop certainly didn't influence the end of the third game.

01:07 * Lumindia steals Ali for hugs

01:07 <Lumindia> o vo

01:07 * Ali squeaks at Lumindia

01:50 <Cepheid> Potentially a lot of signal interference because of large amount of people in the local area.

01:50 <ADragonDreaming> I get the same result when wired to the modem.

01:51 <Cepheid> Okay then!

01:51 <ADragonDreaming> Comcast is sending a tech out tomorrow.

01:58 <Ali> That's your first problem :P

01:58 * Ali is not a fan of comcast, but then again, ATT is no saint either

01:58 <ADragonDreaming> In terms of reliability of service, Comcast has been much better.

01:59 <ADragonDreaming> In terms of availability of service, Comcast and ATT are my two real choices.

01:59 <ADragonDreaming> So, I'm stuck between Charybdis and Scylla.

02:00 <Cepheid> Cat started doing his little balancing act again.  My mother's opinion on it:  "He's marking you.  You're his [REDACTED]."

02:01 <NitroTheFurry> Lol

02:01 <Cepheid> ... I thought the new Animaniacs was only available on Hulu in the US?

02:02 <ADragonDreaming> I thought so as well?

02:02 <Ali> Isn't it?  Where else is it?

02:02 <Cepheid> Apparently it's on Teletoon up here in Canada.

02:04 <ADragonDreaming> Ah. Because the agreements and such change across the border.

02:04 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

02:04 <Cepheid> It's still advertised as a Hulu show, though.

02:05 <Cepheid> I was wondering how Canada was going to get the show, since Hulu is only available in the US.

02:06 <Ali> Must be lucky, cause I really don't want to pay for a single show to watch

02:06 * Ali is stingy

02:06 <Cepheid> Our cable TV services are expensive.

02:21 * ADragonDreaming puts on some well-watched movies and goes to putz around in single-player monhan stuff.

02:24 <Dappled> Just remember that Spider-Man is a Thanksgiving movie.

02:28 <ADragonDreaming> I don't have that one.

02:28 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, Die Hard is a Christmas movie, despite what the makers say.

02:28 <Dappled> But Spider-Man had the best director: Sam Raimi.

02:32 <Dappled> I feel like it's imporant to remind Monster Hunter fans that this exists: https://canescm.tumblr.com/tagged/box-monsters

02:34 <Cepheid> ... That Shara Ishvalda.

02:42 * Cepheid flops off to take a shower.

02:44 *** Quits: Dappled (IceChat9@Shady.The.Pet.Pony) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

02:45 <ADragonDreaming> What about Shara?

02:45 <ADragonDreaming> oh, from the link.

02:57 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

02:57 <Cepheid> A box of rocks for one form.

02:58 <Cepheid> Which is, distressingly, pretty accurate.

03:02 <Cepheid> Right, let's see what this Lua scripting for the Logitech GHub lets me do.

03:06 <Cepheid> So, basically, retrieve state, set state, simulate key presses/releases, simulate button presses/releases, move the mouse cursor, etc, etc, etc.

03:08 * Cepheid looks at hand. "That time of year already, huh?"

03:10 <Cepheid> Oh, by the by.

03:10 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming, there is, in fact, another tier of armor sphere.

03:10 <Cepheid> True Armor Sphere.  Worth 2000 points.

03:14 <Cepheid> Apparently, the only source of them is an event quest, or the occasional item drop from Capcom directly.  Brand New Brute.

03:19 *** Quits: Lumindia (quassel@Pony-45lvcs.pbg.ptd.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

03:19 <ADragonDreaming> Oh, Brute Tigrex?

03:20 <Cepheid> Yeah.

03:20 <Cepheid> As such, I'm... not sure it's worth the effort.

03:28 <ADragonDreaming> I'd need to fight Brute Tigrex in MH:W first to figure out.

03:28 <ADragonDreaming> My gear loadout for Tigrex, at least, effectively shuts him down.

03:29 <ADragonDreaming> As long as I'm not stupid Tigger literally can't do anything to me.

03:29 <Cepheid> If it's anything like it was in previous games, it's much more volatile and attack happy, and also has a damaging roar.

03:30 <ADragonDreaming> Aye. Will be interesting to see if the guard-poke stays effective.

03:48 <Cepheid> If I'm gonna take on a brute tigrex, I'm going to want a decent ranged weapon.

03:49 <Cepheid> With evade extender.

03:49 <ADragonDreaming> Hehe

03:51 <Cepheid> Reasonably susceptible to blast.  Weak to water..

03:52 <Angeline> The best way to kill Teagrex

03:52 <Angeline> Is to hit him in the face with a gunlance

03:53 <ADragonDreaming> I'm trying out lance.

03:53 <Angeline> Lance is bad upgrade to gunlance.

03:53 <Angeline> :)

03:53 <ADragonDreaming> I already have Gunlances.

03:53 <Angeline> Also gunlance is bad upgrade to insect glaive

03:53 <ADragonDreaming> Been Charge Blading it mostly. Branching out to keep things fresh.

03:54 <ADragonDreaming> Also was a Lance-boi back in Tri.

03:58 <Cepheid> Arguably, I have trouble sticking to a given weapon class, so I have no "main" to speak of.

04:08 * Filly_Nightmares sit on Cepheid

04:15 * Cepheid sits atop Filly_Nightmares, who is sitting atop herself. RECURSION!

04:15 * Filly_Nightmares purr and wigglewaggles

04:19 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/oep3cOu.jpeg Wait what?

04:20 <ADragonDreaming> "Search everywhere." "What about over there?" "Is there... a part of everywhere?" "I... I guess so." "Then search there!"

04:24 <Cepheid> ... Ah, that explains the name.

04:25 <Cepheid> Hence, Canadian Soldiers.

04:31 * Ali ships back all the Canadian geese to Cepheid

04:35 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/yXAosLv.png I appear to have summoned an eldritch eyeball.

04:35 <Ali> The eye of Cathulu?  *also can't spell*

04:52 <ADragonDreaming> It's a flammenwerfer. It werfs flammen.

04:56 <ADragonDreaming> It's a nebelwerfer. It werfs nebels.

05:00 * Ali flops on ADragonDreaming

05:00 * Cepheid sighs, groans. Head is pounding again.

10:06 * Schism hums. "AzulCrescent's trying a new shading style, I see."

10:08 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

10:11 * Schism slides Cepheid a cup of her maple coffee.

10:16 * Cepheid noms.

10:16 <Cepheid> *Munch munch munch*

10:17 * Cepheid hums. Supposes this is one way to play MHWorld on laptop.

10:20 <Cepheid> Parsec, maximum settings, wired ethernet, seems to work great.  Not sure about wireless, but let's give that a test.

10:21 <Cepheid> Hum.  Fluid, high quality, works fine.

10:22 <Schism> A neat workaround then.  o3o

10:22 <Schism> Baaaaats.  https://twitter.com/buIIets/status/1332005577015382019

10:24 <Cepheid> Should test this downstairs in the living room later.

10:24 <Cepheid> As it is, I'm sitting right next to one of the satellites, so..

10:26 <Schism> "This whole site will be moving to a Shockwave based format to better serve you, our customer."

10:28 <Schism> Randomly, Cepheid, have some drgn.  https://twitter.com/sixthleafclover/status/1331666286942724096

10:29 <Cepheid> I should go say hi to the parents, and heh, cute.

10:32 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

10:35 <Cepheid> Hum.  Looks like Parsec works relatively well downstairs.  MHWorld is playable.  Might be some periodic cases of a bit of lag, but playable otherwise.

10:35 <Cepheid> Mesh networks with MU-MIMO and beamforming is.. yeah.

10:36 <Schism> Also, tallcat is tall.  https://twitter.com/mame_nek0/status/1332128802340683778

10:36 <Schism> And hum~

10:37 <Cepheid> ... I see absolutely zero network performance changes using wireless downstairs.  Stats are all the same according to Parsec.

10:38 <Cepheid> Decode's still 5-6ms, encode's still 4-5ms, and network latency is still 2ms.

10:38 *** Joins: Lumindia (quassel@Pony-45lvcs.pbg.ptd.net)

10:39 <Schism> Very impressive indeed.

10:39 * Schism provides Lumindia with a maple coffee.

10:39 * Lumindia declines, has a can of V8 Energy instead

10:39 <Schism> Also good.  I should perhaps make a Caesar, but I'm currently out of clam juice.

10:40 <Schism> Got plenty of veggie juice and worchestershire, though, so that might work.

10:41 * Cepheid flops and goes to do some of the picture-taking stuff.

10:42 * Schism wanders into a Linux server room. "Root's haunted."

10:42 <Cepheid> What?

10:42 * Schism cocks gun. "Root's haunted."

10:43 <Schism> Pahahaha.  https://twitter.com/InimitableSong/status/1332210920282419200

10:43 <Lumindia> schism: Live letter in 15 minutes

10:43 <Lumindia> new info on 5.4

10:43 <Schism> o3o

10:43 <Lumindia> I'm terrified of what the new unreal trial might be

10:43 <Schism> Unless it includes Hildibrand, I'm not currently interested.

10:43 <Lumindia> they said Caster LB3 would be useful again

10:43 <Lumindia> we're not getting hildibrand at this stage

10:44 <Lumindia> he did show up in Heroes' Gauntlet

10:44 <Schism> Shut up there's still a chance I don't believe you

10:44 * Schism sobs.

10:44 * Lumindia offers coffee biscuits

10:44 * Schism dips them in her maple coffee.

10:46 <Cepheid> Area 6... Bugtrappers.  Giving Orders to another Bugtrapper.

10:47 <Cepheid> ... Wait, bugtrappers go to area 6?

10:52 <Cepheid> Could ye not give me an Ancient Forest with rain, game?

10:52 <Cepheid> There we go.

10:55 * Schism wonders why the desire for no rain.

10:55 <Cepheid> ...

10:55 <Cepheid> Hello, cat.

10:55 * Cepheid is headbutt by Spitfire and knocked unconscious.

10:56 <Schism> Snrk.  https://twitter.com/meandermadley/status/1331771942009966597

10:58 <Cepheid> As for the weather, it can affect things.  I am not sure if rain will affect the results of the picture stuff, but... better to play it safe.

11:00 <Cepheid> Oooh.

11:00 <Cepheid> Okay.

11:00 <Cepheid> That's what this is about.  There are some hidden spots i've never noticed before.

11:03 <Cepheid> Oooh, Spitfire didn't like that.

11:03 <Cepheid> Found the cats, but they were making lots of meowing noises.

11:04 <Schism> As grimalkynes do.

11:04 <Cepheid> Looks like I missed my chance for the picture.  Guess I'll wait and see if they pop back in again.

11:07 <Schism> This keyboard design concerns me, but I can't put my finger on precisely why.  https://twitter.com/r1242/status/1331791949834067968/photo/2

11:08 <Cepheid> Ah, leaving and returning helps.

11:09 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2127 [ https://tinyurl.com/yxfv442w ]

11:09 <Cepheid> Reach unity level 7 with bugtrappers for that one... Hum, okay, guess I'll go moider some monstas.

11:20 <Schism> Those tights.

11:20 <Lumindia> It's good, right?

11:20 <Lumindia> :eyes:

11:21 <Schism> Indeed.  o3o

11:21 <Schism> Pffff.  This video has the opposite of the intended effect: now I want to deep fry a turkey.  https://twitter.com/TheSun/status/1331613690290954241

11:23 <Cepheid> Hum, that keyboard is, in fact weird.

11:23 <Cepheid> I don't know how to express it, though.

11:23 <Cepheid> I think it's the fact that any double-wide key is misshapen.

11:23 * Lumindia snugs Schism muchly

11:23 <Schism> It makes _sense_, really...

11:23 <Lumindia> Schism is a good

11:23 * Schism snugs right back. Also, is a tired.

11:23 <Lumindia> you're still a good

11:23 <Lumindia> <3

11:26 <Schism> Why, what's this?  Control is $28 CAD?  I suppose that's a respectable price.

11:27 <Schism> I seem to recall Cepheid saying good things thereabouts.

11:28 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's a good game.  Use the DX11 version on PC though.  The DX12 version has a weird texture bug.

11:29 <Schism> Very well.  o3o  Though it's a shame that it's not compatible with GShade.  Perhaps it needn't have it, though.

11:34 <Cepheid> Yes cat, you're cute.

11:36 <Cepheid> So, apparently, my cat absolutely does not love Hololive Pekora's laugh.

11:38 <Cepheid> Someone did an animated clip with her laugh, and my cat started freaking out.

11:39 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/Spaicy_Project/status/1331072926406369281 for reference.

11:41 <Schism> Ouch, that laugh.

11:42 <Schism> Pfffch.  https://twitter.com/BoozyBadger/status/1332146564664598528

11:44 <Schism> Well, this will take some time at 5 MB/sec, so hum.

11:44 * Schism watches Among Us for now.

11:45 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2jP1AVkItA

11:45 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

11:45 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about AMONG US | Short Film

11:45 <Cepheid> It's less of a laugh, and more of a cackle of someone who's deranged and a lunatic, possibly.

11:57 <Cepheid> Hum, tailraider unity experience is going up more slowly now.

12:00 <Schism> That does happen as you level up, no?

12:01 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-g9d.ofe.132.45.IP) (Quit: Recharging the batteries. Laters! *shutdown*)

12:01 * Schism puts a Red Bull into SCP-914.

12:02 <Cepheid> This is true, yes.

12:03 * Cepheid watches a Monster Energy come out of 914.

12:03 * Schism more happily drinks that.

12:04 <Cepheid> Damnit, now I'm craving that.

12:05 <Schism> But which variety, one might ask.  I'm rather a fan of the blue and red sugar-free varieties, though the mocha is also quite nice.

12:09 <Finwe> Good afternoon, everypony.

12:09 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

12:09 * Schism doffs her maple syrup.

12:09 <Finwe> Mr/Miss Schism.

12:10 * Finwe doffs his hat.

12:10 <Schism> Miss, please.  (Soon I'll hopefully be prescribed a good regimen.)

12:10 <Cepheid> I dunno what, but I am either A)  Suffering extreme dry skin, which causes me to inexplicably break out in hives, or B)  Allergic to something that becomes far more prevalent during Winter.

12:11 <Schism> No reason it couldn't be both.  Lower temperatures result in comparatively lower ambient humidity.

12:12 <Cepheid> Yeah, but that normally entails dry, cracked skin.  Whatever this is, it's not dry, cracked skin.  Looks like allergic hives.  Patches of small, red, bumps popping up all over my hands, itchy as all hell.

12:12 <Schism> Peculiar indeed...

12:14 * Finwe boops Cepheid with a dermatologist.

12:14 <Schism> Sheesh, suddenly I'm reminded of the XKCD strip about the '10,000 people learning something new'.  There are people out there who don't know that alt+prtscn captures a window, instead of the whole screen.  Not all that important for most people.  Somewhat important if you need to take screencaps as part of your job.

12:14 <Cepheid> Yep.

12:14 <Cepheid> Hum, I wonder.

12:15 <Cepheid> How is the tailraider unity EXP calculated?  Is it per-monster killed?

12:15 <Schism> Windows-shift-S also lets you use the snipping tool unless it's blocked by enterprise restrictions...

12:16 <Cepheid> That test implies it's per-monster.

12:17 <Cepheid> It's not, Schism.

12:17 <Cepheid> Oh, wait, you meant administrative blocking.

12:17 <Schism> Well, not on _our_ computers, but work boxen might be a different matter.

12:18 <Schism> I know the emoji tool is blocked on the enterprise level on my work computer.  Not that I'd _use_ it, of course.  More frustrating is that the clipboard history is also blocked.

12:18 <Finwe> According to M$, "To open the Snipping Tool, press the Start key, type snipping tool, and then press Enter. (There's no keyboard shortcut to open Snipping Tool.)"

12:18 <Schism> Then clearly that FAQ is old, because windows-shift-s brings it up.

12:19 <Finwe> That's from Windows 10 support pages.

12:19 <Finwe> Quite typical M$, I'd say.

12:19 <Schism> Then again, it may have been one of the shortcuts added in recent revisions of Windows 10.  I know that 1809 added a lot.

12:20 <Finwe> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/open-snipping-tool-and-take-a-screenshot-a35ac9ff-4a58-24c9-3253-f12bac9f9d44

12:20 <Finwe> Let us see.

12:20 * Finwe starts his Windows boxen.

12:21 <Schism> What, you have more than one Windows box?  o3o

12:21 * Schism also frowns. "Control's only up to 50%... oh well."

12:21 <Finwe> Well, yes, but the other one is in the basement.

12:22 <Schism> Boxen is the plural.  Multiple of 'box'.

12:22 <Finwe> You should interpret the -en as the Swedish singular definite form.

12:22 <Finwe> Box, boxen, boxar, boxarna.

12:22 <Schism> Well, the etymology is that if the plural of 'ox' is 'oxen', then the plural of 'box' must be 'boxen.'

12:23 <Cepheid> Tizzy, make up your mind on whether you're going to bite me or let me pet you like you want me to.

12:23 <Schism> The same goes for multiple members of the species vulpes vulpes.

12:24 <Schism> Though it breaks down when referring to female foxen.

12:26 <Finwe> The basic constituent unit of a female fox is a vix, obviously.

12:26 <Schism> So it would appear.

12:27 <Schism> In this, I believe that English actually does borrow from the Swedish etymology.

12:27 <Schism> Well, steal unabashedly, but still.

12:27 <Finwe> Fox is räv in Swedish.

12:27 <Schism> And the female fox?

12:29 <Finwe> There is no separate word for a female.

12:30 <Schism> Hum.  Well, English is of course a broken, overcomplicated kludge of a language.

12:30 <Finwe> It would be rävhona, "she-fox".

12:30 <Finwe> But that's a compound noun.

12:30 <Cepheid> I can now use pawswap!

12:31 * Schism should level up her Grimalkyne unity sometime.

12:31 <Schism> But as I'm intent on playing Control once it's downloaded, I'll be doing that shortly instead.

12:32 <Finwe> We do have "ko", "tjur" and "oxe" for cattle.

12:32 <Finwe> Also "kviga".

12:33 <Finwe> Ko being cow, tjur bull, oxe ox and kviga heifer.

12:33 <Schism> 'ko-tjur' sounds almost like it might have been a formulative term.

12:34 <Schism> But maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

12:34 <Schism> Ah, I am indeed.  Cattle derives from 'chattel'.

12:34 <Finwe> Well, it's mostly the same as in English, except tjur.

12:35 <Finwe> Calf is kalv in Swedish.

12:35 <Schism> Kinda makes one wonder which language borrowed from which.

12:36 <Finwe> They're probably proto-Germanic words.

12:36 <Schism> True enough.

12:36 <Finwe> Cattle seems to be cognate with capital.

12:37 <Schism> Quite plausibly.  More definitely with 'chattel', meaning 'property'.

12:38 <Finwe> dictionary.com's word of the day today is lagom.

12:38 <Finwe> That's borrowed directly from Swedish.

12:39 <Finwe> "the principle of living a balanced, moderately paced, low-fuss life"

12:39 <Schism> Squarely in the middle, as it were.

12:39 <Schism> Interesting.  For some reason, that brings to mind 'hapax legomenon', which is of course an entirely different concept.

12:41 <Schism> Merriam-Webster's WOTD is 'ulterior', which I don't think anyone here needs defined, but I'm interested in where it originated.

12:42 <Finwe> From Latin ultra, obviously.

12:43 <Finwe> ultra, ulterior, ultimus

12:44 <Schism> Meaning, specifically, 'beyond', rather than superlative.

12:45 <Schism> Though the root has been much gnarled by the ravages of time.

12:45 <Finwe> Well, ultra is basically adjective.

12:45 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/wnUm6fw.png Okay, this is actually kinda cute/sweet.

12:46 <Schism> Awwww.

12:46 <Finwe> It's the quality of lying beyond something.

12:46 <Finwe> Ulterior is the comparative of this quality, and ultimus the superlative.

12:46 * Schism provides Finwe with a lapis lazuli dye.

12:47 <Schism> 'Beyond the sea' indeed.

12:47 <Cepheid> That completes all the Bugtrapper photos.

12:48 <Finwe> As in "et nec sit terris ultima Thule", 'and Thule is no longer the farthest place on earth'.

12:49 <Schism> An ulterior motive is, then, something which is beyond the obvious motive.

12:50 <Finwe> Farther beyond. o3o

12:51 <Finwe> We have ultraviolet, 'radiation beyond the spectrum of visible violet light', ulteriorviolet 'farther beyond the violet spectrum', and of course, ultimaviolet 'as far as possible beyond the violet spectrum'.

12:52 <Finwe> As there is no known upper limit for energy, ultimaviolet does not exist, though.

12:53 <Lumindia> UltimaViolet?

12:53 <Lumindia> :eyes:

12:53 <Finwe> But for radiation with less energy that that of visible light, we use infa 'below' instead. o3o

12:53 <Lumindia> Such devastation! This was not my intention!

12:54 <Finwe> s/that/than/

12:54 <Schism> Lumindia, but first I must deal with YOU, 'Warrior of Light'.

12:54 <Finwe> infrared, inferiorred, infimared

12:54 <Lumindia> UltimaViolet

12:55 <Lumindia> it's just ultima, but afterwards everything is covered in purple paint

12:55 <Finwe> Ultima XVIII: The Quest of the Violet Avatar.

12:56 * Finwe boops Schism with Mondain's skull and Lumindia with the rune of honesty.

12:56 <Schism> It's a shame that Lord British jumped off the diving board into the crazy pool.

12:57 <Schism> I mean, the Ultima series was always strange, but it was strange in that fantastic sort of 'hey, we'll accept it as long as it's fun' sense.

12:58 <Finwe> Well, as long as searching for people to talk to in some obscure corners of townes and villages is your conception of fun.

12:58 <Schism> Eh, it's an adventure game.  If you don't talk to everyone, what's the point?

12:59 <Finwe> The rule of thumb is that the important person is always hiding behind a false wall, hidden in bushes, ultra some poisonous march or is a monster that has a fair chance of attacking you instead of idle chitchat.

12:59 <Finwe> But yes, it was fun.

13:00 <Schism> That's reasonable.  Though a set of force, lightning and fire walls is, in the Ultima series, perfectly reasonable home security.

13:00 <Finwe> Not against mages who know dispell.

13:00 <Finwe> Umm, dispel.

13:02 <Schism> Meanwhile, Garriott's paranoia probably was not helped by the fact that every single publisher he's ever worked with has basically jerked him around like a dog on a chain.

13:05 <Schism> I can't imagine why that would resonate with so many people.

13:07 <Finwe> Mondain was a character in Ultima I, which did not even take place in Britannia, yet his skull is somehow present there. o3o

13:07 <Schism> Probably fell through a Moongate or something.

13:08 <Finwe> Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness

13:08 <Finwe> Hmm, no, that was actually in Britannia.

13:09 <Schism> You might be thinking of Exodus, the computer.

13:09 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: My Little Pony Wallpaper Compilation #176 [ https://tinyurl.com/y5rp6hv9 ]

13:09 <Schism> "Dude, I defeated you with PUNCHCARDS."

13:10 <Finwe> Ultima II was The Revenge of Enchantress, where the antagonist, an evil enchantress called Minax, threatened Earth by some scheme involving messing around with the space-time continuum.

13:11 <Finwe> Hmm, the world in Ultima I was actually called Sosaria.

13:12 <Cepheid> Spitfire.  What is your malfunction here?

13:12 <Cepheid> What inside your fuzzy little brain is broken?

13:14 * Finwe virtually ruffles Cepheid's cat.

13:20 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

13:20 <Finwe> Interesting, I created an OpenIndiana and a GhostBSD live USB sticks, but neither of them seem to function properly with my computers.

13:21 <Finwe> I get the GhostBSD to boot on my laptop, but as the Nvidia graphics driver provided with the live system is too new, X fails to start.

13:22 <Finwe> And I cannot download the proper driver because there is no Broadcom ethernet driver.

13:24 * Cepheid does her best impression of a monster trying to flail a hunter off of it, and runs around flailing and flopping about the room, rubbing herself vigorously up against any rough surfaces.

13:31 <Schism> Cepheid: of course you realize, broken cats adopt broken people.  (All of my cats were weird, too.)

13:33 <Cepheid> Ye know, this "take pictures" thing isn't as difficult as people make it out to be.

13:36 <Schism> I see a sign like this, I'd just drive past... https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/bFVZkJzxfcYMi4NpUy5SIugj16Nh8nYuNMZJU93ZZsk/http/www.polisassist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/confusing-signs-min.jpg?width=478&height=478

13:41 * Schism sets all video settings for Control at maximum. "Let's see how quickly this breaks my computer." No ray-tracing settings, though.

13:43 <Cepheid> Yeah, that requires DX12, and like I said, that's broken.

13:51 <Schism> Wait WHAT?  https://imgur.com/a/TIsToOL

13:52 <Cepheid> Welcome to the Bureau.

13:54 <Cepheid> Legitimate question, Schism.  Do you suffer from vertigo?

13:54 <Schism> Yes, but AaaAAaaaAAAa has helped me deal with it with regards to video games.

13:54 <Cepheid> Okay then.

13:55 <Cepheid> Because that game does have some vertigo-inducing scenes.

13:55 <Schism> I have no doubt that I'll still be affected, but that is part of the experience.

13:55 <Cepheid> Interestingly, my mother suffers from vertigo, but the game didn't bother her.

13:56 <Schism> There's a disconnect, partially due to the fact that you're not looking at it through two eyes.

13:56 <Schism> Well, such as it were.  You know what I mean.

13:59 * Schism observes the corkboard at the FBC. "Seems perfectly rational, save for that bit about The Mold."

14:00 <Finwe> $_=q(s%(.*)%$_=qq(\$_=q($1),$1),print%e),s%(.*)%$_=qq(\$_=q($1),$1),print%e

14:11 <Cyan_Spark> Razor the investor

14:16 * Schism takes a momentary break to have a shower.

14:16 <Cepheid> Right, thanks guys, got the photo!  You can let it go no.

14:19 <RazorSharpFang> Evening.

14:31 <Cyan_Spark> PLTR is going up I see

14:31 <Cyan_Spark> Hey guys, usually if there's an active conversation here, Razor and I will take it to DMs

14:32 <Cyan_Spark> But if there's nothing else going on is it alright if we ramble here? :p

14:32 <RazorSharpFang> Not a lot of movement for me today.

14:32 <Cyan_Spark> DOW starting off tentatively green

14:33 * Finwe hugs a Cyan_Spark.

14:33 * Cyan_Spark hugs Finwe back ^.^

14:36 <RazorSharpFang> Hmm, it's getting more green now.

14:39 * Cyan_Spark is a bit distracted by big robot movie

14:39 <uni> ooh heyo Cyan_Spark!

14:39 <Cyan_Spark> Hai uni

14:39 <uni> what movie is it?

14:44 <Schism> The Iron Giant is well worth being distracted by.

14:44 <Cyan_Spark> The sequel to Pacific Rim

14:44 <Cepheid> ... That cat didn't come back up on the fishi-  ... Oh, wait, the Lynian Researcher says he survives, cool.  'Cause that's an acid pool the cat was fishing out of.

14:46 * Lumindia steals Schism

14:46 <Lumindia> O vO

14:46 * Schism squirms, then teleports her way to the store. She needs an energy drink.

14:47 <Finwe> No one really needs those.

14:47 <Schism> Well, you know, difference between 'need' and 'need.'

14:48 <RazorSharpFang> Tesla is almost up to 600 now. Trading around 594 right now.

14:48 <Schism> If you're trading in that, I'd sell put options before Elon Musk opens his mouth again.

14:49 <Finwe> Schism: Well, actual need and irrational urge to consume something that on the average is bad for your health.

14:49 <Schism> Yes.

14:49 <RazorSharpFang> Schism, I dunno. Might increase volatility, which would increase the value of options. Hard to say for sure.

14:50 <Cepheid> Hum.

14:50 * Cepheid gets a bunch of gremalkyne plushes. o3o

14:50 * Cepheid places them all over her home, with the felyne paintings and felyne balloons.

14:50 <Schism> Volatility seems to be the definition of Elon Musk, but honestly, I'd divest yourself of the stocks as quickly as possible, on the grounds that they're unpredictable.

14:50 <Cyan_Spark> It's an eccentric cycle

14:50 <RazorSharpFang> Schism, I own 1 share. That's my entire position on Tesla. Big plays only.

14:50 <Schism> Oh.  Then by all means, ride that horse.

14:50 <Cyan_Spark> TSLA goes up, gets into S&P, ETFs realize they need to buy TSLA now, it goes up higher

14:51 <Cyan_Spark> There'll be a peak, for sure

14:51 <Cyan_Spark> No one knows when, and not even Musk can stop this train now

14:51 <Schism> Cyan, that statement makes me even more worried.

14:51 <Cyan_Spark> Oh ye, it'll crash big

14:52 <Cyan_Spark> People are buying and holding and watching

14:52 <Cyan_Spark> Few are selling

14:52 <Cyan_Spark> Eventually the pool of buyers will run out

14:52 <Schism> When they sell, they'll all sell.

14:52 <Cepheid> Now for the fun area.

14:52 <Cepheid> Elder's Recess.  I need a picture of the Gajalaka doing stuff, and... one of their Meowlotov Bombing.

14:52 <Cyan_Spark> But the US tripled its national deficit through quantitative... ah, surging

15:01 <Schism> You have, I hope, befriended the Gajalaka in Elder's Recess by now?

15:02 <Cepheid> Yes.

15:02 <Cepheid> It's just, the traps are randomly generated per expedition.

15:02 * Schism nodnods.

15:03 <Cepheid> So I have to enter, check around, if it's there, use it.

15:03 <Cepheid> If not, leave, re-enter.

15:03 <Cepheid> I keep getting the cat traps, though.

15:04 <Cepheid> ... Oh.

15:04 <Cepheid> Wait.

15:05 <Cepheid> It involves the gajalakas that follow you.

15:05 * Cepheid hecks it. Gets cat to call in a gajalaka.

15:09 <Cepheid> Oh this is gonna be a pain to get.

15:09 <Cepheid> It has to throw the bomb at a large monster.

15:11 <Cepheid> Heh.

15:12 <Cepheid> Only TWO of the requirements?  What did I miss?

15:12 <Cepheid> ...

15:12 <Cepheid> Capture as large as possible.

15:12 <Cepheid> You do realize, that this thing is small, these wyverns are fast, and... GAH.

15:16 <Finwe> "“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster … when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you.”

15:16 <Finwe> Or monstre, if you are in Britain. o3o

15:21 * ADragonDreaming grumbles at internet.

15:21 <Cepheid> So, there's a basic problem with this request.  Let me get a picture for you.

15:22 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/a2sCVB1.png

15:23 <Cepheid> Bagelgoose, Blue Poison Boi, Roly-poly Rock Boi.

15:23 <Cepheid> All in the same room.

15:26 <ADragonDreaming> I did get the downy crake the other day.

15:26 <ADragonDreaming> I just kept switching between ancient forest and wildspire until it spawned.

15:29 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

15:32 <Cepheid> The core of the problem here is the gajalaka doesn't always do the bomb, and you need to catch the gajalaka *AND* the bomb together, while it's exploding.

15:33 <Cepheid> There, I think I got it that time.

15:34 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/mThJj79.png IT BETTER!  That took me way too long.

15:37 <Cyan_Spark> Tesla approaching 600?

15:38 <ADragonDreaming> i unfortunately can't load any imgur pictures at the moment.

15:38 <ADragonDreaming> Packets: Sent = 296, Received = 205, Lost = 91 (30% loss),

15:38 <Cepheid> Basic gist:  Dodogama on the ground, with a gajalaka in the foreground, throwing a bomb at it's head while dodo's flailing about.

15:38 <ADragonDreaming> nice

15:38 <Cepheid> And the lynian researcher is commenting that it met all the requirements.

15:39 <ADragonDreaming> I'm fortunate that these internet issues started when I had some time off requested.

15:40 <Cepheid> Only area that remains in terms of the lynians is the Hoarfrost Reach region.

15:40 <Cepheid> Then after that, the requests are photographs of various things.

15:40 <ADragonDreaming> Dem Boa-Boas

15:41 <Cepheid> Nothing can possibly beat seeing a Gajalaka hanging from a rope attached to a Barnos, flying around haphazardly over a magma pit.

15:41 <ADragonDreaming> hahaha

15:42 <Cepheid> I wonder if these always existed in the game, and they just added the surveying equipment for people to find them explicitly?

15:42 <ADragonDreaming> Well some of them did

15:43 <ADragonDreaming> such as the leaf boats the grimalkynes use on water, the meowlotov bomb...

15:43 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

15:44 <Cepheid> I mean the more specialized ones though.

15:44 <Cepheid> Like seeing the two cats using a leaf to cover themselves during rain.

15:44 <ADragonDreaming> Is it tailraider activity or is it an animation happening in a specific spot?

15:45 <ADragonDreaming> The latter I *suspect* was added in with Iceborne

15:45 <Cepheid> Animation happening in specific spots.

15:46 <Cepheid> Also, it's not as bad as it sounds to get these pictures.  Provided you meet the basic requirements, the map actually shows you where to go.

15:46 <ADragonDreaming> aye. though, the one getting the two troupers waving at each other was a pain.

15:47 <Cepheid> I found getting the one scratching it's ear to be the more annoying of the "wait for them to do the thing."

15:47 <Cepheid> Because you had to get it from the front, and they kept moving around.

15:47 <ADragonDreaming> that was also annoying, yes.

15:48 <ADragonDreaming> but for me the troupers just refused to greet.

15:48 <Cepheid> Huh, I got it pretty quickly, that one.

15:48 <Cepheid> The other one that took some time was the fishing one.

15:53 <Cepheid> Hum... Get a picture of their leader ordering a spear strike.  So I guess I gotta find a map where that's active, and get it triggered?

15:59 <Cepheid> ...

16:00 <Cepheid> Is that a shedded rusted kushala daora skin?

16:00 <Cepheid> ... Holy hells it is.

16:01 <Cepheid> ... Ahahaha.

16:01 <Cepheid> That was awesome.

16:01 <Cepheid> So, from that spot, you can jump allllll the way down to the frozen lake cavern.

16:01 <Cepheid> I did so.

16:02 <Cepheid> As I was falling, who should walk perfectly underneath me than a Barioth?

16:02 <Cepheid> I mounted it.

16:03 <Cepheid> As for where it is, if you remember where we had to go to get to that one difficult-to-access butterbur, you can continue on a bit further than that, and you'll come across a husk.

16:04 * Schism returns from the store with celery. And she immediately makes use of the knowledge that celery is only there to serve as a vessel for peanut butter or cheese dip.

16:06 <Cepheid> Heh.

16:06 * Cepheid goes all super metroid and climbs up to the husk again, just 'cause.

16:12 * Schism looks at the possibility that Rogers Centre might be demolished. "Oh, no. Please. Don't."

16:13 <Cepheid> Heh.

16:16 <Cepheid> ... Oh, great.

16:16 <Cepheid> That

16:16 <Cepheid> That's why I'm not seeing the traps.

16:16 <Cepheid> I need Boa Boa unity level 3.

16:16 <Schism> ?

16:16 <Schism> Oh.  Yes, that would do it.

16:25 <Schism> What millions?

16:25 <Schism> Also, hiya, LunaticHell.  *waves her hoof*

16:25 <LunaticHell> Well for starters, why is billion not a thosand to the second power?

16:26 <Schism> Now, that's an interesting point.  The original term for 'billion' was in fact 'milliard'.

16:26 <LunaticHell> Like in Germany, then?

16:27 <Schism> Quite.  The term 'million' drives from Italian, 'millione', or 'milli+one', or MM.

16:27 <Schism> So a thousand, incremented by a thousand.

16:27 <LunaticHell> Oh.

16:27 <Schism> Or rather, multiplied thereby.

16:28 * Schism randomly snugs the LunaticHell.

16:28 <Schism> You don't come by very often anymore!

16:28 <LunaticHell> For a moment I really thought it would be as easy as saying trillion = 1000³

16:29 <LunaticHell> True, I've been a bit finding out stuff about myself.

16:29 <Schism> Hello, welcome to the club.

16:29 <LunaticHell> How I am actually really easily bored and distracted.

16:29 <Schism> For example, hello!  I'm a girl.

16:30 <LunaticHell> Hello girl.

16:30 * Schism waves a pink, blue and white striped hoof.

16:30 <Schism> 2020, I suppose, is good for nothing if not self-reflection.

16:30 <LunaticHell> Oh also I had a heck of a week.

16:31 <LunaticHell> Monday: passed a kidney stone

16:31 <Cepheid> There we are.  Level 3.  Also, same here as well, Lunatic.  *Curtsies*

16:31 <Schism> Oh?  ...ow.

16:31 <LunaticHell> Tuesday: Passed a kidney stone from the other kidney.

16:31 <Cepheid> Ow.

16:31 <Schism> Wednesday: passed a kidney stone from both kidneys at once?

16:31 <Cepheid> I have never had kidney stones.  At least, I don't think I have.

16:32 <Cepheid> One would think I would have, given I've gotten gout a few times.

16:32 <LunaticHell> Nah, on wednesday my dentist calls to inform me that we have to move my tooth removal due to illness on the doctor's side.

16:32 <Schism> Okay, did you break a mirror, kick a puppy, or somehow break guest right?

16:33 <Schism> Because this is all starting to sound like you've invoked an ancient curse.

16:33 <LunaticHell> Right?

16:34 <LunaticHell> Well at least two good things happened.

16:34 <Cepheid> Thaaaar we go.  Harpoon trap.

16:34 <LunaticHell> sardines on a 4-cheese pizza: surprisingly good.

16:34 <Schism> Sardines on pizza in general, really, aren't something you'd expect to be tasty, but...

16:34 <LunaticHell> Green tea with aloe vera: surprisingly smooth

16:35 <Schism> That one I think I'll give a miss.

16:35 <Schism> I've had aloe vera drinks before, though, and they're not too terrible.

16:35 <LunaticHell> The only thing that needed getting used to was the solids in the drink.

16:36 <Schism> I think you might have picked up the same brand as I did, then.  Much like bubble tea, it takes some getting used to having a drink you need to -chew-.

16:36 <LunaticHell> True that.

16:37 <LunaticHell> My father once made me hot choc with oatmeal sprinkled in. I gave it back on the carpet.

16:37 <LunaticHell> After drinking it.

16:37 <LunaticHell> Well ok I was young and sick, but still. The solid came out of left field.

16:38 <Schism> I mean, I'd eat oatmeal with cocoa anytime, but drinking, yeah, I'd want to be warned ahead of time.

16:38 <LunaticHell> In other news, I got hyped because one of my all time favorite manga got animenized.

16:40 <LunaticHell> It's "Maoujou de Oyasumi" aka "Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle".

16:40 <Schism> Ooh!  I've been reading that, and is cute.

16:40 <LunaticHell> The anime hits at all the right places.

16:41 <Schism> Glad that it's gotten optioned by an animator.  What I really want to see in anime form, though, is Mage & Demon Queen.

16:41 <LunaticHell> Well, Komi-san, too, needs it.

16:43 <LunaticHell> Oh right I found a really stupid manga.

16:44 <Cepheid> Bah, stupid network dropped on me.

16:44 <LunaticHell> Ah ok, so imagine Konosuba plus pokemon

16:45 <Cepheid> Bleh.  But of course.  The monsters are not ones that go to area 14.

16:45 <LunaticHell> Well, our hero is brought before the goddess and she makes fun of him for being a lowley "monster tamer"

16:45 <LunaticHell> He catches her

16:46 <LunaticHell> It turns out she's useless

16:47 <Schism> But of course she loves the hero and thus begins a harem or something.

16:47 <LunaticHell> No, she really does not.

16:47 <Schism> Well, that's different at least.

16:48 <LunaticHell> His first actual useful monster is a goblin

16:50 <LunaticHell> to be fair his goal is to make a harem

16:50 <Schism> I thought I'd heard of that one before.

16:50 <LunaticHell> Like I said: konosuba meets pokemon

16:53 <RazorSharpFang> Off to sleep, good night/

16:53 <Cepheid> G'night, sleep well!

16:53 <Schism> Have a good night.

16:53 <Heartbreak> More screaming.

16:53 <Heartbreak> Also, Idea.

16:54 <Heartbreak> Pokemon POV where -you- play as the pokemon.

16:54 <Schism> Have a random kitten.  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/En1_CLUXUAMdiRZ?format=jpg&name=large

16:54 <Schism> Also, that's kind of the point of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games.

16:54 <Heartbreak> Yes. But!

16:55 <Heartbreak> VR game. It's a VR game and you put yourself into the pokemon body.

16:55 <Heartbreak> And trainers try to catch you.

16:56 <Cepheid> We already have dysphoria out the wazoo due to VR and other reasons.  Let's not start contributing to it with new forms of dysphoria.

16:59 <Schism> Ah, that delightful moment in Sword Art Online when Harold whats-his-face said, "You know what?  Let's trap everybody in this VR experience in their physical bodies instead of their chosen avatars."

16:59 <Schism> Maybe I'm conflating things, but one way or the other, that guy was a dick.

16:59 <Cepheid> Guaranteed that alone caused some straight up madness.

17:00 <Heartbreak> Cepheid: I hadn't thought of that... The worst I had thought of was playing as a magikarp on land, a spoink, and the worst of all: Spinda.

17:00 <Cepheid> Heh.

17:01 <Heartbreak> Being dizzy -all- the time sounds like a hard mode feature.

17:01 <Schism> No, HB, your idea does sound interesting...

17:01 <Schism> I'd just let the players know ahead of time and let them return the game if it's too much for them.

17:02 <Heartbreak> And getting caught by trainers would have... concequences...

17:02 <Heartbreak> Consequences? S. Not C...

17:02 <Schism> Koncekwinsis.

17:02 <Cepheid> So long as the players can't be the trainers.  Otherwise, I guarantee a certain mentality will start to arise.

17:03 <Heartbreak> Right, but like, you'd have to -do- things your trainer tells you, and you'd have to do 'cute' things for your trainers to make them happy.

17:03 <Heartbreak> Cepheid: Yeah, no, -that- would be too easy to make for abusive situations.

17:03 <Schism> This is starting to sound a tad more disturbing than you intend.

17:04 <Cepheid> And yet, people would not think of it when implementing the game.

17:04 <Heartbreak> No, the -disturbing- thing would be if you were so mean to your trainer that they abandon you.

17:05 <Heartbreak> Though I can totally see players doing such things just to get out of having a trainer...

17:06 <Heartbreak> ._. gawds. Now I'm imagining a trainer crying cause they don't understand why their pokemon won't be have and actively hates them...

17:07 <Schism> Well, there was that Squirtle in the first season or two.

17:07 <Schism> Whose trainer was wildly abusive.

17:08 * Schism wonders if Heartbreak has seen that Pokeshots series, too.

17:08 * Cepheid blehs. Has to be patient with this.

17:08 <LunaticHell> huh

17:09 * Heartbreak offers Cepheid(alice) a banana muffin she baked.

17:09 <LunaticHell> Oh by the by, another good piece of news

17:09 * Cepheid noms.

17:09 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: My Little Pony Speedpaint Compilation #165 [ https://tinyurl.com/yy6a5mmm ]

17:09 <Heartbreak> Oooo, do tell.

17:09 <LunaticHell> Disgaea six gonna be switch

17:09 <Schism> Oh, nice.  PC port, though?

17:09 <LunaticHell> Probably down the line

17:09 <LunaticHell> But no playstation exclusive

17:09 <Schism> Guess I'll play it somewhere down the line, then.

17:10 <Schism> (disgaea 3 when)

17:10 <LunaticHell> Technically the international version will come only for switch, in japan it will also be on the PS-something

17:10 <Heartbreak> But Jet made up a recipe. Old bananas, milk, pancake mix, vanilla, egg yolks, whipped egg whites, and little chocolate chips.

17:11 <LunaticHell> Oh and D6 will amp it up.

17:11 <LunaticHell> The max level will be 99.999.999

17:11 <Schism> That does sound like a muffin recipe.  

17:11 <Heartbreak> Put in greased muffin tins and cooked at 350 for like 20 some minutes.

17:11 <Schism> LunaticHell, and of course it'll include transmigration.

17:11 <LunaticHell> And introduce secondary reincarnation

17:13 <LunaticHell> aka "super reincarnation"

17:13 <Schism> For those unfamiliar with the series, the Disgaea games are a master's course in how to take the standard RPG combat, stats, et al. and turn them not to eleven, but to the point where the knob snaps off.

17:14 <LunaticHell> It also gave birth to the name giver of the trope "love freak".

17:14 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

17:14 <Schism> https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9999_7354.png

17:14 <LunaticHell> Basically Cadance, if she was an angel. o. o

17:15 <Schism> And then became a fallen angel.  But she's still all about love and peace!

17:15 <LunaticHell> Good times.

17:16 <Cepheid> Sounds like they plan to abuse 64-bit computing, then.

17:16 <LunaticHell> Seems that way.

17:16 <Cepheid> Biggest issue with 32-bit is overflow from multiplication.

17:16 <Cepheid> However, 64-bit kinda solves that in a ridiculous manner.

17:17 <LunaticHell> Some games have a final and fantastic maximum value of 255.

17:17 <Cepheid> Mostly because that was a sensible number, usually.  Maximum value of a 1-byte unsigned integer.

17:18 <LunaticHell> Where we go, we won't need stre- *ahem* sensible numbers.

17:18 <Schism> Why 255, you might ask, instead of 256?  Well, the zero has to go somewhere.  Well, you ask a silly question...

17:18 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

17:18 <Schism> From the three you then add one, to make four tens--

17:19 <Schism> </TomLehrer>  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6OaYPVueW4)

17:19 <Cepheid> As a side effect of needing a zero, for signed integers, the minimum value is -127, while the maximum value is 128.

17:19 <Cepheid> That is, in two's complement, anyways.

17:20 <Cepheid> In one's complement, the range is -127 to 127.  Because you have a +0 and -0.

17:20 <Cepheid> Same problem occurs in signed magnitude.

17:22 <Cepheid> The short gist of the multiplication problem is when you try to multiply two integers of the same size, with such values that the product results in a number LARGER than what can be stored in an integer of that size.

17:23 <Cepheid> For example, unsigned 8-bit integer 128, multiplied by 2 or greater, stored back into an unsigned 8-bit integer.  You get 256, which can't be stored.

17:23 <Cepheid> Instead, what happens is something called overflow.  The binary value gets truncated to the specified size, and you get the end result of: 0.

17:24 <Schism> I think we know about overflow.  :p  Especially those of us who healed King Slime in Lufia II.

17:24 <Cepheid> :P

17:25 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, that'd be the big issue with the Disgaea series.  You can avoid it with clever order of operations and clever mathematics, but at some point, you're probably going to run into trouble.

17:25 <Cepheid> Of course, being a strategy RPG, there's no reason they couldn't just use an arbitrary precision library.

17:25 <Cepheid> It's not like the mathematics needs to be fast in such a case.

17:31 <Schism> Hum.  You mentioned texture issues, but I might give the DX12 version a try just in case there's been a fix since then.

17:32 <Cepheid> It's possible.

17:32 <Cepheid> I think the problem primarily manifests due to a lack of GPU memory.  The game devs made an assumption of how much would be available.

17:33 <Schism> Then I think I should be fine.

17:35 <Schism> Ah.  Very beautiful.  Also very slow.  Let's just go back to a game where I'm not looking at 10FPS.

17:36 <Cepheid> Turn off the ray-tracing.

17:37 <Schism> No, I think I'll cut the proverbial knot and just go back to DX11.

17:43 <Schism> Oh.  ...

17:43 * Schism runs into everything and makes a gigantic mess. :3

17:44 <Cepheid> Yeah, that can happen.  Be careful.

17:44 <Schism> Okay, every little bit of information in this game is a delight.

17:49 <Cepheid> A delight and insight into utter ineptitude.

17:49 <Schism> Of course.  Bureaucracy is the sworn enemy of a Discordian, and seeing its failures is marvelous.

17:51 <Schism> Words/Phrases to avoid: Alaska

17:54 <Schism> "You want me to pick up the murder weapon?" Jesse.  Are you talking to me?  Because I kind of don't?  I'd rather you investigate the crime scene and figure out what's happening.

18:16 <LunaticHell> Well to be fair, bureaucracy has chaos at it's core, but I guess the authority thing is what the discordians don't like about it.

18:17 <LunaticHell> Funny, considering that in a bureaucracy noone is actually sure just who's in charge here.

18:17 <LunaticHell> In other words: it's jungle out there.

18:17 <Schism> Oh heavens.  I do understand the need for rules and guidelines.

18:18 <Schism> That's fine.  The need for meaningless rules and guidelines, that is what drives me to distraction.

18:18 <LunaticHell> Like so?

18:18 <LunaticHell> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHRGjfEQpy4

18:19 <Schism> A rule has to have more meaning behind it than 'this is a rule, therefore you must obey'.

18:19 <Schism> And THAT is the driving point behind a bureaucracy.

20:46 <Cepheid> "Why are there glowing corpses flying tow-" *BOOM* "GEEZUS CRIPES!"

20:57 <Cepheid> But yeah, I love that game despite it's quirks.  The biggest of which is the closed captioning.

20:57 <Cepheid> It's not implemented very well.

20:57 <Cepheid> Like, it gets the job done.  Especially when dealing with The Board, or individual characters in one-on-one conversations.

20:57 <Cepheid> But when it starts captioning idle conversation from multiple NPCs nearby, it just... it freaks out.

20:59 <Cepheid> I plan to go through the game a second time at some point, just to hear everything as intended.

20:59 <Cepheid> Plus I'm 100% certain I missed bits of lore, and some other things.

21:00 <Schism> ... pfffffff

21:00 <Schism> If you keep listening to the glam rock on the radio in one bunker, she starts sparkling.

21:02 <Schism> I just figured I'd listen to the music for a little while, because it was pretty decent, but I was not expecting THAT.

21:03 <Cepheid> Heh.

21:03 <Cepheid> Yeah, there are some good audio clips hidden about everywhere.

21:03 <Cepheid> In particular, some music from the Old Gods of Asgard, the fake band from the Alan Wake series.

21:04 <Cepheid> And then there's... The SCENE... near the end of the game.  I won't detail it, it's musical in nature, but it's..

21:04 <Cepheid> It'll make you wonder if you're hallucinating.

21:05 <Cepheid> And before you ask, yes, the Oldest House *WILL* explain itself.  But you won't believe it.

22:14 * Dappled takes a moment to flail. Got a powersave thing to insert wondercard (Event pokemon) into my games, unfortunately, the one that I couldn't get in Gen4/5 that I was aiming for initially, is only available in ORAS, One that I don't have a physical copy for.
