00:32 <Cepheid> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EpQBPDyUUAI43ms?format=jpg&name=large Gonna be honest, that Gyroscope menu item has me concerned.

00:34 <ADragonDreaming> hopefully it can toggled.

00:43 <RichardMist> Okay, nice to hear that

00:49 <Schism> Well!  I must say, that was nice.

00:50 <ADragonDreaming> hm?

00:50 <Schism> Spent two hours at End of Shift just not being frustrated by escalations, not dealing with ruining Christmas for all those parents who wanted size 12 shoes for their infants -- just dove into the case queue and didn't surface for air for two hours.

00:51 <Schism> If only I could do this every day.  It was a nice relaxing end to a frustrating day.

00:51 <Schism> Frustrating week, really.

00:51 <ADragonDreaming> Aha

00:52 <Schism> For once, overtime isn't a trap.

01:17 <Schism> It's almost as though when you put something up on the internet, people will immediately dissect it for every scrap of information they can dig up.

01:18 <ADragonDreaming> indeed.

01:19 <Cepheid> Also, regarding the voices, you have a few choice options.  You can revert to the old style grunts and yells, or turn them off altogether.

01:56 * Ali flops over Schism

01:57 * Finwe hats on Ali.

01:58 * Schism hugs the Ali, and wonders if she's played Heroes of Might and Magic 3 before.

01:58 <Finwe> Who would not have?

01:58 <ADragonDreaming> me

01:58 <NitroTheFurry> Me

01:58 <Schism> Or of course I have CIV4...

01:59 <Ali> Civ4?  The last time the stack of doom was allowed.

01:59 <Schism> I hope that if we were to play a game, you wouldn't resort to such tactics.

01:59 <Finwe> Stack of doom?

01:59 <PinkieShy> !hug

02:00 <Ali> That sadly only works in Civ 4

02:00 <Ali> And I see Derp is gone

02:00 <Schism> !seen Filly_Nightmares

02:00 <Schism> Oh, 'tis...

02:00 * Ali hugs PinkieShy in place of bot

02:00 * PinkieShy hugs Ali

02:00 <Ali> Finwe, the stack of doom was that you could have infinite military units on one hex

02:00 <Finwe> Ah, indeed.

02:01 <Ali> This was removed in Civ 5

02:01 <Schism> I have heard that either CIV3 or CIV4 is the best of the lot.  Maybe 3.

02:01 <Ali> Six isn't dogcrap, but it has flaws

02:01 <Schism> Or Alpha Centauri.  <.<

02:01 <Ali> Good old AC, how I miss that

02:01 <Finwe> In Civ 1 you needed city walls or fort in order for that to work.

02:01 * Ali builds a network node on Schism

02:02 <Schism> Oh, free copy of Prison Architect.  Thanks, GOG.

02:02 <Finwe> Otherwise the enemy would just destroy your stack with a single blow.

02:02 <Ali> Schism, there is something wrong with Factorio that is preventing seablock from working on 1.0 onwards

02:03 <Schism> Ali.  Ali, Ali, Ali.

02:03 <Schism> Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri is $1.99 on GoG.

02:03 <Finwe> o3o

02:04 <Ali> Bet the multiplayer doesn't work though :P

02:04 * Finwe alreaady has it.

02:04 <Schism> GoG is _really_ good about making it work.  >.>

02:04 <Ali> My biggest gripe about civ six is the map generation and the DLCs

02:04 <Ali> They /really/ try to hit your pocketbooks hard.

02:05 <Ali> But looks like the eee and Glimmy left...

02:06 <Ali> Doesn't look like it

02:06 <Ali> Last seen was Nov 29th

02:06 * Cepheid throws Schism into a pool of molten ice.

02:06 <Schism> Mmh... well, I can poke the Surry.  Also, eep!

02:07 <Schism> I might have to pick up a _few_ things once I get my next paycheque.

02:07 * ADragonDreaming adds some solid water.

02:09 <Schism> Oh, damnit.

02:10 <Schism> Fine, GoG.  I'll pick up The Incredible Machines 1-3 for $3.

02:11 <ADragonDreaming> oh, I remember those.

02:25 * Finwe puts Schism into mousewheel.

02:25 * Finwe then connects the mousewheel to a fan.

02:26 * Schism sees Cepheid's cat, and starts running in exactly the opposite direction to where Finwe wants to her to run.

02:30 <Schism> Ali: Do you prefer Civ 3, or 4?  o3o

02:30 <Ali> Schism, I don't own Civ 4, and frankly I don't like the stack of doom that 4 has

02:31 <PinkieShy> Ali I did that once somewhere, But it was because i connected to another network that i didn't connect to without realizing it wasn't connecting to this one.

02:31 <Schism> I suppose that's reasonable.  I think people think that Civ 3 is best anyway...

02:31 <Ali> Six has a lot more civs though

02:31 <PinkieShy> So basically i hit quit very fast but I'm sure I was already connected to a channel on the auto join list..

02:31 <Ali> And more victory types

02:32 * Schism decides to play some physics puzzles.

02:33 <Ali> And there we go, Pokemon Sword broken by having an Entire Eeveelutions team evolved before the first gym.  Thanks DLC~

02:34 * Schism provides a facepaw. -bap-

02:35 <Ali> Good old Unga Bunga Meowth

02:35 <Finwe> Hmm, Schism costs €2.49.

02:36 <Finwe> Erm, "Schizm".

02:36 <Schism> Yes, not to be conflated with the genuine article.

02:36 <Finwe> o3o

02:39 <PinkieShy> I think i'll try to get sleep at 2am tonight instead of my usual time. >_>

02:40 <PinkieShy> Might actually do me some good tbh..

02:40 <PinkieShy> Clean sheets and a 3rd blanket on my bed..

02:40 <PinkieShy> I'm sure I'll probably pass out fast :D

02:43 * Schism stares at Stardew Valley. She really shouldn't.

08:01 <NitroTheFurry> Hiya

08:01 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.

08:01 * Ali has been very lonely tonight.

08:03 <ConfusionRift> Same here. Nothing and no one in here.

08:03 <NitroTheFurry> :/

08:03 * ConfusionRift also huggles NitroTheFurry. :P

08:04 * NitroTheFurry huggles back

08:06 <ConfusionRift> After a while, everyone's asleep and there's nothing going on.

08:14 <ConfusionRift> We're just owls. :P

08:15 <Ali> Eeyup..

08:16 <Ali> I remember when there were at least a few euro ponies to talk to at this hour.

08:24 * ConfusionRift still huggles Ali. "Company came to be by the 1930s, and it's one of the few baking companies that are still up."

08:24 * Ali flops over Dappled.

08:25 <ConfusionRift> Then again, Keebler is much older... so much older.

08:25 * Dappled hugs Ali and ConfusionRift. Friend ponies.

08:47 <Dappled> KSP

08:48 <ConfusionRift> Oh. Poor little green dood #85,689,846.

08:49 <Dappled> Yeah. Due to some strange time anomaly, I haven't lost a single astronaut yet.

09:02 * Ali blehs, games are starting to hit critical boring.

09:03 * Dappled wonders if they'll ever bring back Nintendogs and Cats.

09:24 <ConfusionRift> Huh, my controller is on the fritz... awesome.

09:24 * ConfusionRift is actually not very happy about this.

09:31 * Dappled once again ponders making his own controller. but he's notorious for not keeping work areas clear so... Probably a bad idea to have him soddering.

09:36 <Ali> And around a little one

09:36 <Ali> Cause you know, kids r dum

09:36 <Dappled> Yeah.

10:29 * Jackie wants to straight up play Minecraft with somebody

10:29 <ConfusionRift> Oh, fishing achievements. I'm missing... almost every single one.

10:29 <Dappled> Exactly.

10:29 <Jackie> Cuz I have a server

10:29 * Dappled also ponders the Direwolf20 modpack that just released.

10:33 <ConfusionRift> I would like to work on a private server. Alas, not exactly the time to do so, and have absolute no idea what i would be doing. But would be nice to have for sudden MP shenanigans.

10:35 <Jackie> Well my server is very small and not intended for public

10:36 <ConfusionRift> That's kinda the plan. Mostly for Terraria/Starbound at most, and MC at best. With very few people.

10:38 <Dappled> When really we should all be playing Risk on Tabletop Simulator!

10:38 * Dappled shot.

10:39 * Lumindia ponders booping dappled

10:39 * Lumindia boops dappled

10:39 * Dappled neighs.

10:42 * Lumindia boops Ali as well

10:42 <Lumindia> >:3

10:43 * ConfusionRift looks at his botched PC project.

10:45 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm, apparently, it might just be a hard drive issue. That's fine. I can deal- (remembers the time burned trying to solve a similar issue) -maybe.

10:46 <Lumindia> hey ponies, guess who's cute?

10:47 <Lumindia> Not ali!

10:47 <Lumindia> everyone else is

10:47 * Ali sits on Lumindia regardless.

10:47 <ConfusionRift> but what about Al- (feels a mare glaring at him from afar) ...but of course! :P

10:48 * Lumindia goes squish

10:48 * Lumindia somehow boops the Ali, despite them sitting on him

10:49 * Lumindia wriggles free, then snuggles Ali muchly. It's super cold here

10:51 * Lumindia offers Ali hot chocolate

10:51 * Ali drinks, has snow on ground here.

12:34 <Jackie_> Or even responded

12:36 <ConfusionRift> Oh, sorry bud. Just been distracted with other things.

12:37 <Jackie_> Would be an experience to play with someone

12:37 <Jackie_> Btw it's Java Edition

12:38 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, would have to redownload it. And hopefully not have that "you can't connect, because blarg" issue from before.

12:39 <Jackie_> Don't worry, I'm hosting the stuff

12:40 <Jackie_> My server will probably be boring for you because it's vanilla survival

12:41 <ConfusionRift> modded can get dicey to run, especially when finding an issue and causing the whole thing to collapse.

12:42 <ConfusionRift> Vanilla seems to be more stable.

12:42 <Jackie_> And it's 1.16.4

18:06 <Schism> (By which I mean the turtle about whom Adra was speaking.)

18:06 <Finwe> Obese turtle?

18:09 <Schism> No, he's thin and has bulging eyes.

20:17 <Schism> Though the likelihood that once I get things set in motion, I'll be going down to a 6 or so, is pretty high.

20:17 <Schism> Yours are also slightly thinner than mine: I go with 31G.

20:17 <RichardMist> Nice to see you, Angeline

20:18 <Schism> Finwe: Of course, getting things into motion might eventually result in me doing intramuscular shots, which -- while I'm not looking forward to _that_ fun -- will be beneficial in the end run, so I'll get used to them.

20:22 * Finwe decides to nom on Siege of Dragonspear.

20:25 <Finwe> And à propos needles…

20:26 * Finwe calculates how much carbohydrates there are in his supper.

20:26 <RichardMist> Finwe, have a nice meal if going to eat

20:26 <Finwe> 21.9 grammes, meaning that I have to inject one IU of insulin aspart.

20:26 * Schism usually eyeballs it. "If that salad is your largest bit, then yeah, 22 grams sounds about right."

20:27 <RichardMist> oh, insulin...

20:27 <Schism> Almost all of which are coming from the tomatoes.

20:27 <Finwe> And a piece of crisp bread.

20:27 <Schism> Ah, then 10g for the bread and 10 for the tomato, give or take.

20:28 <Finwe> I have Novo Nordisk Fiasp.

20:28 <Finwe> One tomato (125 grammes) contains 4.3 grammes of carbohydrates.

20:29 <Schism> I'm going to have to review my estimates, then.

20:30 <Finwe> 15 grammes of crisp bread contains 9.7 grammes of carbohydrates.

20:30 <Finwe> Digestible carbohydrates, that is.

20:30 *** Joins: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-alfs43.fdrm.6vms.0380.2600.IP)

20:31 <Finwe> Obviously there's cellulose and whatnot that doesn't get digested.

20:31 <Schism> Well, yes, that's why salads are basically free.

20:31 <Schism> I had thought for some reason that tomatoes might have had more sugar.

20:34 <Finwe> Kale has nigh nothing, there is some in onion and tomato, and in sweet pepper.

20:34 <Finwe> And some in the dressing.

20:36 <Schism> Between kale and onion, the dressing would be the responsible party.

20:37 <Schism> Though it does depend.  A simple oil-vinegar-and-herb has no digestible carbs.  A Russian or Thousand Island, though, is simply loaded with sugar.

20:42 * Schism should take a moment to refresh herself on the general carbs/grams ratio of some vegetables.

20:45 <Finwe> I have French dressing at the moment.

20:46 <Finwe> It's mostly oil and vinegar, but there's some sugar, too.

20:51 * Dappled wriggles into existence.

20:56 * Dappled gets flashbacks to subnautica and leviathons grabbing my vehicles.

20:57 <Schism> More a Worm reference.

20:57 <Dappled> This is unknown to me.

20:58 <Schism> Superhero fiction by Wildbow.  Really, really well-written, but it starts off dark and gets even darker.

20:58 <Dappled> Sounds like not my thing.

20:58 <Schism> Well, the protagonist's power is to control arthropodae.  Useless power, right?

20:59 <Dappled> Until you get Dune level monstrosities?

20:59 <Schism> Well, a giant stag beetle shows up at one point, but she generally does her best with just wits, skill, and panache.  Also, she's a supervillain.

21:00 <Schism> After the heroes brush her off and the villain teenagers turn out to be a much more decent and accepting group.

21:02 * Dappled desires light hearted superhero stories.

21:03 <Dappled> Or at least not depressing.

21:05 <Schism> That's fair!

21:07 <Schism> I highly suggest "Vaudevillain" on the website Royal Road, then.  The protagonist decides to set up a villainous character as a silly Saturday Morning Cartoon sort, plays it to the hilt, and things escalate, though it's all lighthearted for the most part.

21:28 <Cepheid> We finished ours, Fury horn break.

21:28 <Cepheid> But the best part?

21:28 <Cepheid> One player was mounted on her, and on the head doing the phial discharge.  I was on the OTHER side of the head doing a switch-axe Zero Sum Discharge.

21:28 <Cepheid> We both finished our strikes at the same time, and the horns came off.

21:29 <Schism> That sounds amazing.  o3o

21:29 <Cepheid> Went straight from level 1 rewards to level 17 because we busted *EVERYTHING*.

21:29 <Schism> For once, you got a REALLY GOOD GROUP.  That's simply a delight.  o3o

21:30 * Cepheid goes and does it again.

21:31 <Cepheid> It helped that we all joined when she was Pursuit Level 5.  Which made her ultra-breakable.

21:31 <Cepheid> So, we broke everything on her.

21:31 <Cepheid> Still though..

23:53 <Cepheid> Let's see... Taroth Axe "Sleep", two in fact.  Gold Paralysis Chopper, Taroth Axe "Paralysis", Taroth Axe "Stream". Alas, no Kjarr Switch-axes.

23:54 <ADragonDreaming> nicely done

23:55 <Cepheid> That's from four completed sieges.

23:55 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, that's it for that siege for two weeks.

23:55 <Cepheid> It expires in 4 minutes.

23:55 * Ali rolls around, wishes seablock would've worked in factorio
