00:02 * Dappled horses into existence once more. Sup?
00:03 <ADragonDreaming> "I want to be your personal penguin~"
00:03 <Dappled> But why?
00:03 <Dappled> Why would anyone want to be a penguin, antarticas tasty animal?
00:03 <ADragonDreaming> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6DzceERhDU
00:03 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
00:03 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Your Personal Penguin
00:03 * Dappled assumes.
00:05 <Dappled> Seems weird.
00:05 <ADragonDreaming> Rather, it is sung by one who is already a penguin.
00:05 <ADragonDreaming> Pinky Pie is weird.
00:06 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/djTG8q4 My kinda pit.
00:06 <Cepheid> Though that ending...
00:06 <Cepheid> I'll kill the poster for it.
00:09 * Cepheid takes pills. Tells class/groupmates "You have 30 minutes left of my attention before I turn into a pile of gibberish and hallucinations."
00:10 * Dappled grumbles at the old style exp share in Platinum.
00:12 <Cepheid> Let me guess, split evenly among all pokemon?
00:12 <Dappled> Nah. That's the new one. The old style is held by a single pokemon. So you have to pay attention to it.
00:12 <Cepheid> Ah, that.
00:12 <Cepheid> Yeah, the split evenly system isn't new to me in any sense of the word.
00:13 * Cepheid is a veteran of the Etrian Odyssey series.
00:13 <Cepheid> EXP gets split N ways, where N is the number of party members.
00:13 * Dappled headtilts at this.
00:13 <Cepheid> You get 1000 EXP, you have 4 characters, each gets 250 EXP.
00:14 <Cepheid> Increase it to 5 characters, it's 200, and so on.
00:14 <Dappled> Oh wow that is an oldschool dungeon crawler.
00:14 <Cepheid> It is.
00:14 <Dappled> First person dungeon exploration that makes you make your own map.
00:14 <Cepheid> They made it a bit easier on the player in the later games, but the high EXP requirements and level/equipment/planning requirements make it take very long time near the end.
00:15 <Cepheid> Talking needing millions of EXP per level.
00:16 <Cepheid> But yeah, it's an old-school dungeon crawler.
00:16 <Cepheid> Quite brutal at that.
00:16 <Cepheid> It lightened up a bit as the series progressed, but it still had some incredible *YAY* at the end.
00:16 <Dappled> Last one of those I played was Legend of Grimrock but I gave up pon that quickly cause the combat controls were terrible.
00:16 <Cepheid> For example, EO5's true final boss, the Star Devourer. Starts off with an attack that will kill your party, no ifs, ands or butts, unless you use a very specific attack.
00:17 <Cepheid> And will follow up with that attack every time it regenerates all it's body parts.
00:17 <Cepheid> And for each part that regenerates, that's one more attack per turn it gets, up to a maximum of seven different attacks.
00:18 * Dappled would bite the DM.
00:18 * Ali noms on Dappled tail
00:18 <Cepheid> It's very beatable.
00:18 <Cepheid> It just depends on finding the right tactic that works for your playstyle.
00:18 * Dappled acks! The Ali has him!
00:18 <Cepheid> Once I found it, I was able to beat it twice in a row.
00:19 <Cepheid> Two times because of how the endings worked.
00:19 <Cepheid> In one ending, you can just ignore the Star Devourer.
00:19 <Cepheid> And then kill it *LATER*
00:19 <Cepheid> But it doesn't change the ending you get.
00:19 <Cepheid> Or rather, got.
00:20 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, to get the other ending, you have to kill the Star Devourer before you get the ending.
00:20 <Cepheid> All it amounts to is a different commentary from a critical character.
00:22 <Cepheid> Earlier games in the series are somewhat worse, though.
00:22 <Cepheid> The final bosses have certain traits that you *ABSOLUTELY* must build around to counter. And they tend to follow a very specific pattern.
00:23 <Cepheid> Or have other weird requirements, such as killing certain enemies on the field before fighting it, or injecting a weakening solution into it.
00:26 <Dappled> That sounds hard and I would need a guide.
00:26 <Cepheid> Many people do.
00:27 <Cepheid> I try to avoid guides, myself, for insanity reasons.
00:27 <Cepheid> My biggest gripe though is the excessive grind in the earlier games.
00:30 <Cepheid> In order to survive the superbosses and true final boss, you kind of need to be close to, or at, the highest level accessible for that boss. The series starts you off with a level 70 limit. There are always three monsters that increase it to 80, then 90, then 99. All superbosses.
00:30 * Lumindia noms on Ali's mane
00:31 * Ali squeaks
00:32 <Cepheid> Etrian Odyssey Nexus takes it a step further. Apparently the maximum level of *THAT* game is 130. And that's because it combines aspects from every single game in the series, including the one the West never got.
00:35 <Cepheid> I am actually roadblocked in that game a bit.
00:36 <Cepheid> Game wants me to kill a boss-class monster, with a bunch of FOEs, strong, on-field monsters that regularly join into the fray.
00:39 <ADragonDreaming> Beef gate
00:40 <Cepheid> I basically have to go through the areas accessible, get the best gear, gain maybe about 5-10 levels.
00:40 <Cepheid> But when I get back to that game, I'll do it.
00:40 * Schism passes Cepheid a plate of gherkins to feed her hunger.
00:40 <Schism> (And cheese.)
00:41 * Cepheid noms.
00:42 <Cepheid> I really should prototype a solution for drawing a map in the style of the EO series.
00:42 <Cepheid> Make that the entire goal of the project.
00:43 <Cepheid> Instead of going for a complete game right now, pick a subsystem of a game, a mechanic, and design applications around implementing them.
00:46 * Dappled has an open slot in his pokemon team. Tries to decide between Jirachi, a shiny Raikou, or a shiny Entei.
00:46 * Dappled 's main is a Torterra. Pulls out the Entei.
00:48 * Schism meanwhile makes some beef ramen with an egg and some veggies.
00:48 <Cepheid> 100mg of seroquel = My speech starts to slur.

01:07 <Cepheid> So, an example of my brain while drugged. If I were allowed to have done the group presentation solo, I would have translated a song into Japanese and sang it.
01:07 <Cepheid> And the song of choice? Eiffel 65 - Blue
01:07 * Dappled approves of this.
01:09 <Cepheid> And I'd publish it on Youtube, as I do not see any indications of anyone having done a cover in Japanese.
01:10 * Schism makes another bowl of noodle soup.
01:11 <Cepheid> I choose Blue because the lyrics are relatively simple compared to some songs. So translating it wouldn't be as much of an issue. Singing it would be the real trouble.
01:13 * Schism waits for the yolk of her egg to cook while she makes ramen. "Hum, da ba de da ba da."
01:14 <Cepheid> Is it normal to be able to adapt a song's sound and lyrics to any speed on the fly, so long as the speed is specified by a consistent beat?
01:15 <Schism> Normal to me, but I'm weird.
01:16 * Schism listens to Omega's theme at 442bpm.
01:16 <Cepheid> Link? o.o?
01:17 * Cepheid lays down in bed, covered in blankets, listening to music until drugs take over completely.
01:17 <Schism> I wish, I was being illustrative rather than demonstrative.
01:17 * Schism passes Cepheid a bowl of spicy ramen with beef, peas and carrots.
01:17 * Cepheid noms.
01:18 <Cepheid> Appears that the base is approximately 145bpm.
01:19 <Schism> Possibility exists that my new doctor might provide some measure of prescription tomorrow, because Monday. So fingers crossed.
01:19 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Say Something Nice About Coco Pommel [ https://tinyurl.com/y35cv64r ]
01:20 <Cepheid> So for 442, you'd need approximately x3 speed. But it's not enough to simply play it back that fast.
01:21 <Schism> I am slightly weirded out that I came so close to the actual 3x speed.
01:21 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnslNk8HIaI
01:21 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
01:21 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Rocket Knight Adventures - Boss [EXTENDED] Music
01:22 <Cepheid> If it helps, it's x3.048.
01:23 <Schism> Also, there are, as of year end 2019, 617,800 people in this area. How is it that not one hormone endocrinologist exists within this cityscape?
01:23 <Cepheid> Interesting, the above boss theme has the same BPM as eScape.
01:23 * Cepheid checks Ys 2 - Termination.
01:24 <Cepheid> Slightly higher. 165.
01:25 * Cepheid hands Schism the Black Pearl.
01:25 * Schism takes a chisel and a hammer. "Right, let's see what's inside."

01:27 <Cepheid> That said, destroying the pearl kinda kills it, so go nuts.
01:31 <Schism> Gotta build your prisons with a safeguard.
01:33 * Dappled seeks to release all the ancient evils. After all, those in the past had messed senses of morality compared to our enlightened age.

01:43 * Dappled is very confused as to how the water gym is giving him so much trouble when he has a Torterra.
01:57 <Ali> Cause Torterra is grass/ground
01:58 <Ali> so it loses its resistance to water, and gains a four times weakness to ice, which a ton of water mons carry an ice move.
01:58 <Ali> Not to mention Empoleon is Water/Steel so he's not weak to water
01:58 <Ali> Err Grass
01:59 * Dappled is dealing with Pastoria's gym. That explains why ice fang is wrecking me.
02:04 <ADragonDreaming> Yeah, you gotta go electric to deal with that.
02:05 <ADragonDreaming> I liked that gen's starters in terms of the evos flipping the script on the rock paper scissors triangle.
02:06 <Ali> Torterra's design is cool
02:06 <Ali> But going with quad weak to ice and it being slow and not bulky really ruins it
02:06 <Ali> Infernape being super fast and dum fire/fighting

20:34 <Cepheid> Today I learned that the US government had planned at one point to coerce/encourage an invasion of Cuba through intentionally commiting acts of terrorism upon itself, and then blaming the acts on Cuba.
20:34 <ADragonDreaming> I have now gotten to the point where putting all the charts and tables together for this monthly report is the quick and easy part.
20:35 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: I am unsurprised and I think may have heard about that a while back.
20:35 <Cepheid> I just learned about it today.
20:35 <Cepheid> And all I can say is "What the f-"
20:39 <Finwe> Miss Ali.
20:39 * Finwe noms on Ali's Civ VI savefile.
20:39 * Ali isn't even playing civ 6 right now and its still mean to her.
20:39 <Finwe> Lt Pony|12115.
20:39 <Finwe> o7
20:40 * Pony|12115 wavewave.
20:40 <Finwe> And good <insert your time of day> to everypony else as well.
20:42 <Cepheid> I don't know why, but it's gotten so much harder to breathe now.
20:42 <Finwe> Ali: I daresay Civ 6 isn't among the meanest of games.
20:43 * Ali always has problems with early barbarians T.T
20:44 <Finwe> "Barbarian rainding party lands near <your undefended capital>. Citizens are alarmed."
20:44 <Finwe> "Sneak attack by Mongol forces! Peace treaty cancelled."
20:46 * Starlight_Glimmer applies headcrab stew to Ali
20:46 <Finwe> !starlight time
20:47 * Finwe bounces around in front of Starlight_Glimmer.
20:47 <Finwe> Starlight time! Starlight time!
20:54 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/h5uicg0n7s361.jpg Has modding gone too far, ADragonDreaming?
20:59 <PinkieShy> I wish door dash would deliver out to my house :(
20:59 <PinkieShy> I would so order me some Taco Bell right about now..
21:05 <Finwe> Me checks today's date.
21:05 <Finwe> Only 40 days until the 10,000th of September 1993.
21:05 <Finwe> o3o!
21:07 <Cepheid> You know what would really suck? If, due to my hospitalization, I somehow came into contact with COVID-19 and contracted it.

22:16 <Cepheid> "Sorry, when I heard they found an unconscious swordsman out in the forest, I was expecting some red-haired adventurer in his late teens, not you." - My intended reference to Ys in this world/game I'm designing.
22:21 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjjRetL5d5M Schism, Lumindia.
22:21 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
22:21 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about FFXIV - Pretty Much Alphascape V3.0
22:22 <Lumindia> @Cepheid yeah that's about right, honestly
22:22 <Cepheid> "Larboard Wave Cannon" *98%*
22:25 <Cepheid> I'm kind of curious though why they went with Larboard. Modern usage is Port and Starboard. Is it just because "Larboard" rhymes better with "Starboard"? Or that they're spelled somewhat similarly, thus increasing the risk of confusing when seeing the name?
22:26 <Cepheid> Apparently, that was literally the reason for the change to "port" from "larboard".
22:27 * ADragonDreaming hisses and rejects that occurrence. "May you stay COVID free."
22:27 <Cepheid> "Larboard" sounded too much like "Starboard" so the Royal Navy demanded that they start using "Port" instead.
22:27 <ADragonDreaming> makes sense to me.
22:29 <Cepheid> So the goal of using "Larboard" for one of Omega's attacks is to increase confusion in the chaos.
22:29 <Cepheid> Larboard Wave Cannon vs Starboard Wave Cannon, and you have only a short amount of time to figure out which one's being used and where to stand.
22:30 <ADragonDreaming> makes sense.
22:32 <Cepheid> Which is made more complicated that, when Omega uses either, he turns 180 degrees.
22:33 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, I should go do a couple of chores and take a shower.
22:33 <Cepheid> Then after that, I dunno.
22:35 <ADragonDreaming> I tried Assassin's Creed III again the other day, and the character movement and free-running felt... heavy and slow.
22:35 <ADragonDreaming> And I realized that it's because I'm now very accustomed to Monster Hunter: World character movement.
22:37 <Lumindia> Ceph: Because Koji Fox, that's why
22:37 <Lumindia> he likes using words that aren't commonly used anymore
22:38 <Lumindia> like 'Corse'
22:48 <Lumindia> and old spellings of words
22:48 <Lumindia> like Gaol

22:59 * Cepheid returns.
22:59 <Cepheid> That took more time whan I wanted it to, since I had to rush around and find stuff.
23:00 <Finwe> Is stuff that hard to come by nowadays?
23:00 <Finwe> These are weird times indeed.
23:01 * Schism flops in. Sips some coffee, with Kahlua.
23:01 <Schism> Another day of endless streams of calls.
23:01 <Cepheid> Yeah, my dad's having work troubles, himself.
23:01 <Cepheid> Seems Dell's been putting in a bunch of calls for repairs and such..
23:01 <Finwe> I still remember the joyous times before the pandemic, when stuff and wossnames were readily at hand.
23:01 <Cepheid> But no parts.
23:02 <Schism> Finwe: And detritus, flotsam and jetsam.
23:02 <Cepheid> So, basically, they got this huuuuuuuge list of clients waiting on repairs, and no parts to do them with.
23:02 <Schism> Cepheid: Yeesh. The turbo-encabulator is vital to the running of an operation, though.
23:03 <Cepheid> I'm not familiar with the full details, but from the way my dad puts it, it's the part suppliers.
23:03 <Finwe> Schism: Indeed.
23:03 <Cepheid> Not Dell directly, but the companies they get their various components and parts from.

23:08 <Finwe> Tastes like Lumindia, but looks a bit different.
23:08 <Finwe> o3o
23:08 <Cepheid> Doing anything "fun" is only inducing a sense of stress, right now. A feeling that I shouldn't do it, and should do something else. But anything else I think of outside of "lay down and read" induces further stress.
23:15 <Cepheid> *Dad calls.* *During call, mother calls.* *Mother keeps trying to get through for nearly a minute.* *Text message.* *Finally hang up with dad.* *I don't even get a chance to put the phone down before my mother calls me again.* "Did you get my text?"
23:15 <Cepheid> *Cue screaming*
23:15 <Cepheid> She was just asking me to check out the front door to see if a package arrived for my sister or not.

23:22 <ADragonDreaming> I know that feeling.
23:23 <ADragonDreaming> "I'm supposed to be working." It's most annoying when there's nothing you're supposed to working on.

23:24 <Cepheid> Right now, the problem is that it's near the end of the school semester, and DESPITE my decision, my mind is abuzz with stupidity.
23:24 <NitroTheFurry> Lpl
23:25 <Cepheid> As stated in the past, I have trouble making my own decisions for one reason or another, so any time I DO make a big decision, I question it relentlessly. Add this in with it being end-of-semester.
