08:36 <ConfusionRift> "Are you...?" | (giggles) | "Yep, thats' what you're doing." :P
08:39 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, I thought she caught up on it. Nope! Seems that one cell detected it, and then completely ignored it halfway through. :P
08:40 <Cepheid> Yep.
08:41 <Cepheid> For me, the last four sentences would have told me something was up.
08:44 <Cepheid> They all end in ない. That ending is typically seen on conjugated adjectives to indicate present negative tense. And in informal speech, verbs also make use of it for present negative tense.

09:24 <Cepheid> This semester is almost done. Guh.
09:32 <ConfusionRift> HuZZAAAAAAH!!!
09:33 * ConfusionRift decides that maybe, JUST MAYBE, this si not the right time for this game. And changes it to something lighter.
09:35 <Cepheid> Hmm?
09:35 <Cepheid> What game?
09:35 <ConfusionRift> The Mummy: Demastered.
09:36 <Cepheid> I never quite understood why it was so important for a small group of people to kill the mummy. Just nuke the mummy, his army, his home, all from orbit and be done with it.
09:37 <Cepheid> Same applies to any of the other movies wherein ancient armies arise from the dead. They're using bloody swords. Every modern military on the planet is using guns. It's not a situation wherein somehow, the enemy is going to conquer the world.
09:38 <ConfusionRift> The mummy is basically immortal, till made mortal in some way. At least, that's how it used to be.
09:38 <Cepheid> "Oh. You have an army of... terracotta warriors. Okay." *Throws a brick at one. It crumbles with ease.* ... Huh.
09:38 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)
09:39 * ConfusionRift watches it stand back up, with ten others standing near it. "We need more bricks."
09:39 <Cepheid> Here's the problem.
09:40 <Cepheid> As it breaks, it'll become less effective, even if it is "brought back". Same with corpses.
09:40 <Cepheid> On top of that..
09:40 <Cepheid> Again, nuke them. Anything at ground zero will effectively be vaporized and cease to exist.
09:40 <ConfusionRift> That's how the norm should be, but... this is movie black magic. So it's either the same, or worse.
09:44 * Cepheid shrugs.
09:44 <ConfusionRift> In the case of this game, you are an agent trying to stop Princess Ahmanet. Okay, I get that part. Problem is, she's using the dead as her army. Great. So, if you die, that agent dies and is resurrected under her control. You lose your upgrades and secondary weapons, and the previous agent can and WILL use them against the new agent that took their place.
09:44 <Cepheid> Heh.
09:45 <ConfusionRift> That's cool, but if you're in a nasty area, it becomes an issue.
09:46 <ConfusionRift> It's like... Metroid Fusion, except the SA-X is the Samus who died in that area. And you have to fight her fresh off the press.
09:47 <Cepheid> So a 'git gud' game.
09:47 <ConfusionRift> What I like is that it plays that old idea I wanted to try of instead each loss or failure being just a reset, it being the case of a previous iteration of the main character left behind.
09:48 <ConfusionRift> *NOT being
09:48 <ConfusionRift> Sorry, not being just a reset.
09:49 <ConfusionRift> I guess Nier Automata falls under that category.
09:49 <ConfusionRift> And... (sighs) Rogue Legacy.

12:17 <Cepheid> It came up with this stupid idea for developing a game, then streaming myself playing it at varying stages of development, with a twist. As the streamer, I hide the fact that I am in fact the developer, just to see how long it takes for people to figure it out.

12:59 <Lumindia> Is it going to scream geometrically?

13:00 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
13:00 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Ramiel Attack
13:00 <Cepheid> Even better, it screams geometrically in the seventh-and-a-half dimension.
13:00 <Lumindia> nice
13:00 <Lumindia> exactly what I want out of a biblically accurate angel
13:01 <Cepheid> Apparently, as of late, a big thing going around the Internet is people reminding others that biblically-accurate angels are monsters.
13:01 <Cepheid> In the sense of "They were never human to begin with."
13:02 <Lumindia> doesn't it have to do with the rank of the angel or something?
13:02 <Lumindia> like the low ranking ones are the humanoid ones?
13:02 <Lumindia> and the seraphs and such are the ones that are on a higher plane of existance?
13:03 <Lumindia> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ITaEbVSNNI Ramiel reminds me of this
13:03 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
13:03 <Lumindia> Ozma
13:04 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about FFXIV OST - Proto Ozma's Theme
13:04 <Cepheid> Not entirely sure. What few memes and stuff I've seen about it, the people suggest that the humanoid variants were created at some point much later in the religion's history, possibly as a way of making the angels seem less creepy.
13:04 <Cepheid> ... Ozma. In FF14.
13:04 <Lumindia> You know that name, don't you. o vo
13:04 <Cepheid> I know Ozma, yes.
13:04 <Cepheid> I fought it in FF9.
13:04 <Lumindia> he first shows up as an alliance raid boss in Heavensward
13:05 <Cepheid> As for Ozma, yeah, I actually suspect that Ozma is an interpretation of biblical angels.
13:06 <Cepheid> That, or a reference to Ramiel in NGE.
13:07 <Cepheid> 'Cause that entrance is practically that Ramiel scene you showed earlier.
13:13 <Schism> Ozma appears twice in FF14. o3o
13:13 * Schism awakens. Vibrates.
13:18 <Cepheid> Truth told, thinking back on Ozma, the idea that it's an interpretation of biblical angels puts a lot of it's appearance into perspective.
13:18 <Cepheid> It was weird to see this huge orb, with a white hemisphere and black hemisphere, each rotating opposite to one another, beat the ever living *YAY* out of your team.
13:19 <Cepheid> But if one treats it as an eldritch being which cannot be properly perceived in three dimensions for one reason or another, it makes more sense.
13:19 <Schism> And the in FFXIV it sucks in all the parties and forces them into a DPS check against some weird version of itself.
13:20 <Cepheid> It is, in effect, a deity that cannot be perceived properly, and what we are seeing is our brain simply filling in the void.
13:20 <Cepheid> Hence it's immense power.
13:22 <Cepheid> Though, it appears that the version in FF14 is something else entirely.
13:26 <Cepheid> If I ever create an RPG, and it has a superboss, I'm going to give it a backstory and history of mutating and changing forms based on encounters in alternate realities. Every patch, I'm going to change the AI of the thing to counteract then-current techniques for beating the most recent version, and add it as a new version that can be challenged, along with all the other versions.
13:26 <Cepheid> The "alternate realities" are basically my explanation of "it's learning tactics from other players playing this game."
13:27 <Lumindia> and I'm guessing there'd be a way to track what tactics are often used?
13:28 <Cepheid> Observation of forums, social media, video streams.
13:29 <Cepheid> Gamefaqs and other such websites that provide guides.
13:29 <Lumindia> and failing that, (transparent) tracking of player actions during that encounter
13:29 <Cepheid> That can work, too. Though I'd have to add a notification about that.
13:29 <Lumindia> yeah, that's why I said 'transparent'
13:29 <Cepheid> It'd be opt-in.
13:29 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
13:29 <Lumindia> like, you give the in-world explaination of this entity learning from you
13:30 <Cepheid> I find it interesting that we use "transparent" to mean "visible" in the context of collecting data.
13:30 <Cepheid> It would be better to describe it as "opaque."
13:30 <Lumindia> well I guess 'transparent' means 'we're not hiding it'
13:30 <Lumindia> so in that context, being 'transparent' about something makes perfect sense
13:31 <Schism> Hum. I asked Mae a few weeks ago if, as she's doing all the Mario games, she'd be playing the Lost Levels. To which she responded, and I quote, "NO WAY IN HELL."
13:31 <Lumindia> hah
13:31 <Lumindia> tell her to git gud and suck it up
13:31 <Lumindia> the lost levels are a fun time. :D
13:31 <Schism> Either she decided to be masochistic enough for that, or she's simply subjecting her cartoon self to that horror. https://reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=november-30-2020
13:31 <Cepheid> That's true, Lumindia.
13:32 <Lumindia> hah
13:34 <Schism> Also, she did beat it, Lumin. X3 https://twitter.com/maegodhavemercy/status/1333699446043942912
13:35 <Cepheid> I've never actually beaten it myself. I'm just familiar with it's notoriety.
13:36 <Schism> When the first thing that happens is that you hit a block, a mushroom pops up, and it kills you, you know it's going to be a fun time.

14:57 <RazorSharpFang> Today is a very green day for me. Up 2% today, locked in a gain on Micron Technologies.
15:16 <Cyan_Spark> Razor the investor
15:16 * Cyan_Spark nods
15:16 <RazorSharpFang> Hey heys.
15:16 <Cyan_Spark> Diamond hands on Palantir :p
15:16 <RazorSharpFang> I opened up two diagonal spreads on AT&T in reverse directions to each-other.
15:16 <Cyan_Spark> Though, I do still profit if I sell
15:17 <RazorSharpFang> Hands of diamond, but will they glimmer?
15:18 <Cyan_Spark> If data processing indeed turns out to be the new oil
15:18 <Cyan_Spark> The company reportedly has positive cash flow
15:19 <Cyan_Spark> Do you have any positions in Apple?
15:20 <RazorSharpFang> I do not.
15:20 <RazorSharpFang> Apple is a bit expensive for anything aside from my classic play of "Buy a single share and sit on it"
15:22 * Cepheid gets a call. It's a scammer. "God-B-Gone, you attack 'em, we dethrone 'em. This is Samael speaking, how may I help you?"
15:27 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)
15:28 <RazorSharpFang> Quite a lot of those these days.
15:28 <RazorSharpFang> Usually sourced internationally
15:29 <Cepheid> I rarely get such calls.
15:29 <Cepheid> Mostly because when I do get them, I immediately block the number and I never get called from that number again.

15:40 * Schism hums. "She did say 'between 10:30 and 11:30'..."
15:40 <Cepheid> Geezus cripes mother.
15:40 <Cepheid> I don't understand how people can be that loud.
15:40 <Cepheid> I'm sitting here, and I hear what sounds like my mother falling over and hitting the floor, it was LOUD.
15:40 <Cepheid> "Oh, I dropped a pot."
15:41 <Cepheid> How the hell do you make that much noise dropping a pot!?
15:41 <RazorSharpFang> You should hear what two pots being slammed into each-other sound like.
15:45 <Schism> I have to go into work at 12:30, so I really hope that I'm called soon...
15:54 <Cepheid> My neck and head are in excrutiating pain.
15:54 <Cepheid> Well, not excrutiating.
15:54 <Cepheid> Just outside the bearable limit for me.
15:56 <Cepheid> Migraine meds time. o3o
15:59 <Cepheid> Player kills invader in Demon's Souls remake using one of the most unweildy attacks ever.
15:59 <Cepheid> All weapons have a shoving attack. It's normally a flick of the stick in the direction and pulling the right trigger.
15:59 <Cepheid> However, this player was using a bow.
16:00 <Cepheid> For the bow, you have to press the *OPPOSITE* direction instead.
16:00 <Cepheid> So if you wanted to do it towards the left with most weapons, you flick the joystick to the left and hit the trigger. With the bow? Gotta flick the joystick to the *RIGHT* and hit the trigger to do the attack towards the left.

16:02 <RazorSharpFang> Ah yes. That makes perfect sense.
16:03 <Cepheid> Yeah.
16:03 <Cepheid> Apparently it's not new to the remake either, the attack existed in the original.
16:03 <Cepheid> And it had the same input.
16:05 * Schism twitches. "Endo..."
16:05 <Cepheid> Appletree, Schism?
16:06 <Schism> No. She's not called me yet.
16:06 <Schism> They did say 'between 10:30 and 11:30', but I'm starting to get a bit twitchier.
16:06 <Cepheid> I know, what I meant is "Are they with Appletree?"
16:06 <Schism> Not to the best of my knowledge: I'm pretty sure they're just associated with Grand River Hospital.
16:07 <Schism> No, definitely not Appletree.
16:08 <Cepheid> Ah, kay.
16:08 <Cepheid> 'Cause Appletree is known for the above issue.

16:55 <Cepheid> I'm fine. I just did a bit more than I should be doing right now.
16:55 <Cepheid> Tried to do some chores with a headache all over my head.
16:55 <Cepheid> Not the best of ideas.

17:42 <Schism> Okay. Not the answer I was hoping for, but I'm not entirely surprised: as she's not a specialist in these sorts of drugs, she's loathe to prescribe me them and would prefer I speak with someone better suited, which I technically agree with.
17:42 <Schism> And maybe emotionally I'll be able to internalize this.

19:34 * Finwe snuggles the Ali.
19:46 <LunaOfTheMoonLight> cute
19:55 <NitroTheFurry> Yes you are Luna
20:11 * Schism hugs the Ali. Points her at "Rockman 7 EP", if she's played Megaman 7 already.
20:12 <Ali> What is that? Some hack of 7?
20:12 <Schism> Indeed, by the creator of "Rockman 4 Minus Infinity".
20:19 <Cepheid> So basically, absolutely bat**** insane.
20:24 * Schism returns to work after having a big cup of coffee. "Hopefully... HOPEFULLY this will get me through the next few hours."

23:37 <Finwe> The problem was, given 200 integer values, find the (unique) pair and triplet that sum up to 2020.
