09:06 <Cepheid> Ah well.
09:07 * ConfusionRift is also getting days crossed a bit.
09:08 <Cepheid> For me, it's because I kind of forcibly pushed myself ahead 16 hours yesterday.
09:08 <Cepheid> ... And then another 10 hours because I needed to cool down due to a psychotic break.
09:08 <Cepheid> So it feels like it's Monday or Tuesday to me, now.
09:10 <ConfusionRift> I just get desync'ed sometimes.
09:11 <ConfusionRift> My mind sometimes jumps a day ahead/back and it kinda messes with me. And work.
09:12 <Cepheid> For me, I get desynced when I try to force things.
09:12 <Cepheid> Which often has negative side effects.
09:13 <Cepheid> I actually currently don't know what my sleep cycle is right now. I'd like for it to be "wake in morning, sleep at night." I think it's currently "sleep at 3 PM, wake up at 11 PM." or thereabouts.
09:20 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "It goes all over the place for me sometimes."
09:23 * Cepheid sets a stopwatch that she can reset every 2-3 hours, that'll tell her to study Japanese textbook vocabulary.
09:24 <Cepheid> Really, the only thing I dislike about formal language study is the oral part.
09:24 <Cepheid> I am not good with oral speech, native language OR secondary languages.
09:25 <Cepheid> And so, putting so much emphasis on the oral part makes things hell for me. I personally only want three things out of a language course: The ability to comprehend the language when spoken by someone else, the ability to read the language, and the ability to write it. Oral will just come with time on my own terms.

09:30 * Cepheid will need to find their old capture card, see if she can get it working under Windows 10, and then see if it is sufficient for 1080p@30.
09:30 <Cepheid> Otherwise I'll have to use a convoluted setup for using Discord chat and audio from the game.
09:30 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
09:30 <Cepheid> Or go and pick up one of them Elgato capture cards.
09:32 <Cepheid> As for the alternative, convoluted setup..
09:34 <Cepheid> Basically, audio cable from Switch to line-in on PC, set up Windows to playback audio from the line-in. Have Discord record audio from the usual microphone instead of line-in. Have PC output to secondary display nearby, while TV I use is for the Switch.
09:35 <Cepheid> All sorts of options I can make use of, really.
09:37 <ConfusionRift> Streaming?
09:37 <Cepheid> Yes and no.
09:38 <Cepheid> See, me and ADragonDreaming like to use Discord voice chat when hunting.
09:38 <Cepheid> Problem is, I do not believe Rise will support voice chat out of the box. Yet to see it with a Switch game.
09:39 <Cepheid> The basic setup is to use a standalone microphone, and output game audio to the TV as normal.
09:39 <Cepheid> But that creates trouble in the form of the game audio being caught by the microphone and transmitted.
09:39 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, I wonder. But so far, no. I mean, they had it being a portable device being the primary use, so mic functions are likely just removed.
09:40 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmm.
09:40 <Cepheid> So, to get around the problem of a microphone picking up game audio, I intend to redirect the Switch audio to the PC that's handling Discord, and have it output to the headset I'm wearing.
09:40 <Cepheid> The reason it needs to go to a PC that's handling discord, is because I also want to hear the voice chat.
09:41 <Cepheid> So, effectively, I'm mixing audio from the PC and the Switch and sending it off to the headset.
09:41 <Cepheid> That being said, that also presents a third solution for me.
09:41 <ConfusionRift> Y adapter I guess.
09:41 <Cepheid> I could just use a basic mixing device, that has two line-ins, and one line-out.
09:42 <Cepheid> Ultimately, the best solution is to use a capture card, because with that option, I can retain my current hunting setup altogether.
09:42 <ConfusionRift> Wait, no. The loudest output will outdo the more quieter one.
09:42 <Cepheid> That is, keyboard at my lap, alt-tabbing to check wikis as necessary.
09:42 <Cepheid> Only problem is, capture cards can be expensive.
09:42 <Cepheid> Elgato, the most well-known brand, ranges from $100 to $600.
09:43 <Cepheid> The lowest-end device on Elgato's website is $229.
09:43 <Cepheid> And at that price, I may as well record everything and upload videos of 2-3 hunts at a time to Youtube and become a youtuber.
09:43 <ConfusionRift> I just got a module, so I could use it on any device. Problem is... I haven't even tried it. I keep going back and forth with this thing. And voice audio is completely out of the question.
09:45 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)
09:45 <Cepheid> In any case, there are all sorts of solutions.
09:47 <Cepheid> First goal though is to try and solve another issue first, though.
09:47 <Cepheid> I need to ask my dad to grab me something from his workplace.
09:48 <Cepheid> Dell makes extensive use of this pyramidal foam padding. It's not acousting dampening foam, but quick look-arounds for at-home setups suggest that the foam in question still acts reasonably well for sound dampening.
09:48 <Cepheid> Line a small box with it, throw my microphone into it, place the box in front of the TV, with speakers off to the side and behind.
09:49 <Cepheid> Because I'd prefer not to wear headphones of any sort at all, if I could.
09:49 <Cepheid> Failing that, cardoid microphone, directly aimed at me.
09:51 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: Leaving)
09:57 <ConfusionRift> Okay... so the objective is a setup that you can stream the game, while you being able to hear the game and a voice chat at the same time, but not while wearing a headphone.
09:58 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and it should pick up your voice and voice chat.
10:02 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
10:03 <Cepheid> Complicated setup.
10:03 <Cepheid> The streaming is necessary. The reason for the streaming hardware is it just makes it easier to achieve the desired setup is all.
10:03 <Cepheid> I can go without it, but then the setup becomes a bit more finicky.
10:04 <ConfusionRift> Technically speaking, it shouldn't be too complex. Now, soundproofing, some of the audio choices, mic changes, etc. will make it far more complex.
10:04 <Cepheid> The sole reason to avoid headphones is my sinuses and inner-ear problems.
10:05 <Cepheid> I've gone a few weeks wearing regular headphones. Tried switching to the earbuds I Have, but with not much improvement. The result is that I'm pretty sure my current sinus problems are a result of wearing the headphones for too long.
10:07 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, you could have the audio of both TV and voice chat output from the PC, and audio mix them so could hear both properly.
10:08 <ConfusionRift> The problem would be... feedback.
10:08 <Cepheid> Which is the problem, yes.
10:08 <Cepheid> Hence the need for soundproofing the microphone, or using a cardioid microphone.
10:09 <Cepheid> Cardioid microphones are known as directional microphones. They have a small angle of reception, so background noise shouldn't be kicked up.
10:10 <ConfusionRift> Yep, a cardioid mic with swing arm.
10:10 <ConfusionRift> Or not. Might get away with a regular mic stand.
10:11 <Cepheid> Probably a standard mike stand, yeah.
10:11 <Cepheid> Especially since I sit away from the PC a bit.
10:17 <ConfusionRift> Okay... maybe a splitter. Have both audio and video output to the splitter, then split the audio to both PC and TV/monitor. The PC should be able to stream the mic and the game no issues. Mix them from there.
10:19 <ConfusionRift> If I remember correctly, you can also have the capture device handle both game and mic audio. Then again, don't know.
10:22 * Cepheid sighs, wanders off to take painkillers.
10:26 <ConfusionRift> Okay, console to splitter, splitter divide to capture device and TV/monitor, capture device to PC. You can have the PC handle the capture and mic audio, and mix it from there. And if you have a second TV/monitor, you can have that one to check the stream and have all the setup software displayed. Kinda doing that. I know it all sounds redundant, but I'm mildly interested in trying this out at some point.
10:28 <Cepheid> So, betting pool. $50 Canadian Tire Bucks says the doctor asks me to go get tested for COVID-19 again today.
10:30 * ConfusionRift agrees, but doesn't bet.
10:30 <ConfusionRift> I know my luck.
10:39 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:39 <Cepheid> Time for a break to eat some food. Been about 8 hours since I last ate. o3o
10:42 <Cepheid> An internet store that sells scented candles is getting inundated with complaints from customers that the candles have no scent.
10:44 <ConfusionRift> It happens. You either get a company that makes candles that completely fumigate whatever smell there was in a room with their scent, and you got some that only smell on the first 2 minutes of turning it on.
10:44 <ConfusionRift> Actually, a lot of MainStays candles are like that.
10:45 <ConfusionRift> Smells nice on the top, and then it's just hot wax smell.
10:45 <Cepheid> I know, I know.
10:45 <Cepheid> It's just in this day and age, candles advertised as scented, having no scent, is a bad sign.
10:49 <Cepheid> ((Short gist: Loss of sense of smell is a symptom of C19.))

11:06 <Cepheid> It's just, when someone that age passes, who's a big name, people are utterly shocked or "pissed at 2020 for taking another life" like it was something that wasn't supposed to happen for another few decades or something.
11:06 <ConfusionRift> This year has been like that though.

11:30 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift, what do you do for fun every day?
11:31 <Cepheid> ... Actually, I think the question is more "Is every day fun?"
11:33 <Cepheid> The question is written as 「毎日、楽しいですか。」, which literally translates to "Every day, enjoyable/fun?"
11:33 <Cepheid> Thus, probably asking "Are you enjoying yourself every day?" or something to that effect.
11:33 <Cepheid> Or "Do you find every day enjoyable?"
11:33 <ConfusionRift> Sorry, was in the bathroom.
11:33 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm.
11:34 <ConfusionRift> And the translator sees it as "Is it fun every day?".
11:35 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
11:35 <Cepheid> I'll put in "Yes" and just move onto the next question.
11:35 <Cepheid> What kind of cooking do you like?
11:36 <ConfusionRift> Oh shoot, that's tough.
11:37 <ConfusionRift> I guess broiling.
11:37 <Cepheid> So barbeque, then.
11:38 <ConfusionRift> In which case, grilled I suppose.
11:38 <Cepheid> Grilled, barbequed, etc. I'll go with barbeque as I actually know the word for that. o3o
11:38 <ConfusionRift> Hah! Okay then. :P
11:38 <Cepheid> Next question. Do you drink alcohol?
11:38 <Cepheid> Yes or no will suffice.
11:38 <ConfusionRift> No.
11:39 <Cepheid> Do you have any brothers or sisters?
11:39 <ConfusionRift> Step-sister, so I guess to make it easier, yes.
11:40 <Cepheid> What kind of sports do you play often? It's worth noting that it's acceptable to say "I don't play sports."
11:40 <ConfusionRift> Then there you have it. :P
11:41 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:41 <Cepheid> Where do you live? I'm fine with just putting down "United States of America" since that question's a bit personal.
11:43 <Cepheid> The rest of the questions: 7) Are you married? 8) Do you drive a car? 9) What do you usually do on the weekend? 10 has to be my own question, so... What is your favourite video game?
11:44 <ConfusionRift> Kirby Super Star, of course. :P
11:45 <ConfusionRift> Oh... 7) No. 8) No. 9) I work during the weekends. And Kirby Super Star will always be on top. :P
11:46 <Cepheid> Okie, thank you kindly for your assistance.
11:46 <Cepheid> ... Well that's a problem. It wants a signature of the person I asked. XD
11:47 <Cepheid> Yeah no, I'm just going to put your IRC name, and tell them you're an internet friend.
11:50 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
11:54 * Schism noms upon a salad in a bid to awaken.
11:55 * Lumindia noms on Schism in a bid to... nom on them
12:12 * Schism giggles at the group 'The Killers', who are somehow still relevant.
12:13 <Cepheid> Hum, I think it's fine for a break. Been at this since waking up, so..
12:23 <Schism> Cepheid: the Utah monolith has vanished, declaring in a public statement that it must return, its planet needs it.
12:24 <Schism> Okay, not the second part, but it has mysteriously evaporated.
12:26 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:26 <Cepheid> Again, given it's an art installation of some sort, or possibly a prank, that's not surprising.
12:26 <Schism> I'm halfway expecting Banksy to take credit.
12:29 <Cepheid> Not his style.
12:30 *** Quits: ArchPegasusMichael (Poni@Keep.In.A.Friendly.And.Pony.Place) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
12:31 <Schism> I dunno, I think it carries a sort of je ne sais quoi which is perfectly in line with Banksy's variety of comedic art.
12:33 <Cepheid> His art tends to involve a political or controversial message, though. This is just random.
12:34 <Schism> Well, a certain 'much ado about nothing' could point a finger and a laugh at certain establishments.
12:35 <Cepheid> I think you're overthinking it, to be honest.
12:35 <Schism> Yeah, it's probably just someone's idea of playing silly buggers. Well done, if so.
12:35 <ConfusionRift> Not... really.
12:36 <ConfusionRift> If you check the other picture of the oh so great monolith, it gave it away.
12:36 <Cepheid> Well, apparently it was originally put up back in 2016, so..
12:36 <Schism> Never said it was great? It made the news, I mean.
12:37 <Schism> For what reason was it originally erected?
12:37 <ConfusionRift> Most likely just an arts project of sorts.
12:37 <Cepheid> I'm betting art project or prank, or both.
12:38 <Schism> Or even something for a film. It _would_ have been a great prank, though.
12:38 <Cepheid> Not really, not when the world is high-strung and paranoid right now.
12:38 <Cepheid> And has conspiracy theories spewing out by the bucketfulls.
12:39 <Schism> In these, the silliest times, a bit more silliness can sometimes be a balm. I'd like to see more 'X-Files' and 'Fortean Times' stuff, and less of the genuine insanity.
12:39 <Cepheid> Schism, these times are not silly.
12:40 <Cepheid> People are getting sick, and as a result, either dying or suffering horrible long-term consequences. Trump has been spreading massive propaganda and racist crap. These are not silly times.
12:40 <Schism> That's true. Then I suppose I'd rather like to see some actual silliness in these _idiotic_ times, even if I'd much prefer to see some intelligence and sanity.
12:41 <Cepheid> We do not need to push people further into the stress, paranoia, and depression they are in by creating mysteries that need to be solved.
12:41 <Schism> But anyone with two brain cells which could be pushed together must have looked at that thing and said, "Oh, it's a prank. Wonder who made it?"
12:42 <ConfusionRift> Then again, it just looks like a beam of stainless steel that was stuck on the ground.
12:42 <Cepheid> Have you not been paying attention to the way people have been behaving over the last several months?
12:43 <Schism> I have, but... erg. I like to think the best of people, even when they show us their worst. It's an attitude which has served me well over my years as a CSR.
12:44 <Schism> So perhaps it's just ingrained.
12:44 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, this pandemic has put a lot of people into a position that they are not used to.
12:44 <Cepheid> Which is changing their behavior as a result.
12:46 * Schism looks at the clock, and sighs. "Why is it already 7:45."
12:47 <Cepheid> I'm an introvert. So, being indoors all the time doesn't bother me as much as it would your average person. Problem is, what does bother me, is watching people who are not used to it, and their reactions. On top of that, all the joking that people are doing with regards to how some people are behaving, acting, and the like, because of the pandemic.
12:47 <ConfusionRift> Because... (looks at the time) ...right, time difference. I guess the clock moves faster when someone doesn't want it to..
12:54 <Schism> Cepheid: In a frustratingly real sense, we laugh at the absurdity -- and it is absurd -- of life and the behaviours of other people because it seems like the only way to remain sane. If one doesn't laugh, one starts screaming, and speaking personally, if I start screaming I'm not sure if I'd ever stop.
12:55 <Cepheid> That's fine. But this is a problem that's ongoing, and has seen little effort in terms of trying to resolve it. It's gotten past the point where it's funny how badly things are being handled.
12:57 * Schism sighs, and nods. "That's understandable." She grumbles, stretches, and scarpers off to work.
13:01 * ConfusionRift patpats Schism. "Will get to the same in a few as well."
13:01 <ConfusionRift> The work thing, not the other.
13:04 <ConfusionRift> Yeah... crashing... laters.

13:26 <Cepheid> I'm gonna go back to sleep. It's the only way to keep me from losing my mind on a regular basis right now.
13:27 <Cepheid> Normally I'd resolve this moodiness by getting out and doing something out of the house. But I can't.
