00:01 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/H7NezeG.png Unfortunately, the end-of-quest killshot was not the best.  This was from the run where me and another Switch-Axe user synchronized phial-discharged her head to death.

00:03 <ADragonDreaming> krashoom

00:03 <Cepheid> Looks like first random festival is... Astera Fest and Joy Festival.

00:06 <Cepheid> Apparently I have not seen the Astera Fest.

00:07 <ADragonDreaming> hm.

00:07 <Cepheid> In any case, I need a short break.

00:08 <Cepheid> Need to eat, stand up for a bit, stretch, etc.

00:18 * Cepheid flops back.

00:21 <Cepheid> Looks like it carries all of the festival traits.  So, we also get increased Steamworks steam building.

00:22 <ADragonDreaming> oh? Is it going now?

00:22 <Cepheid> Yeah, the switchover was 7 PM.

00:22 <Cepheid> We got festivals going on, and the Safi siege has started.

00:23 <Cepheid> ... Which also means daily bounties.

00:23 <ADragonDreaming> yeh.

00:24 <Cepheid> But yeah, it's the Joy and Winter festivals.

00:24 <ADragonDreaming> those are the ones we just had, I think.

00:24 <Cepheid> Yeah.

00:24 <Cepheid> And hilariously?

00:25 <Cepheid> They're also what we need to be able to access every other ticket type.

00:25 *** Joins: Jackie (qicruser@Pony-vtsj90.ckh7.ltq5.3c00.2404.IP)

00:25 <Cepheid> The tickets are grouped by World and Iceborne, and can be exchanged for other tickets of their respective group.

00:32 <ADragonDreaming> hm.

00:32 <ADragonDreaming> That was odd.

00:32 <ADragonDreaming> Also, hello Richard.

00:33 <RichardMist> Hello ADragonDreaming, how are you?

00:34 <ADragonDreaming> I am alright. I am also Twilight_Sparkle

00:35 <RichardMist> Okay, nice to hear that and thank you for informing

00:51 * Schism noms upon Adra's tail, and provides a maple cookie, which restores 80 HP.

00:54 <Schism> Adra: "This chest is full of nothing but disappointment."

01:02 <Schism> Cepheid: Also, ow.  The first monster-in-a-box came very close to wiping me out.  That was a miniboss.

01:14 <Schism> OH, that's how it works.  I think.  Every NPC with which you interact has two scripts, one for the first interaction, and then for subsequent interactions.  At points throughout the story, some NPCs are replaced with other ones.  Chests give an item (or attack you) on the first pull, and then simply give an 'empty chest' message on the original script, but because the 'empty chest' message is specific to each NPC, it could be altered on

01:14 <Schism> a point-by-point basis.

01:23 * Ali flops over Schism

01:28 * Schism obliterates a Pom. And also hugs the Ali.

09:08 * Ali flops into the ConfusionRift

09:10 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.

09:11 <Ali> Finally got seablock working and hoy its interesting

09:11 <ConfusionRift> Seablock... as in Factorio?

09:12 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)

09:12 <Ali> Yeah, found a 1.1 version but had to manual install

09:13 * Golden flops. He is nervous

09:13 <ConfusionRift> I saw a few previews of Razor play it, and... yeah, it's something. :P

09:13 <Ali> But had to restart once cause it really didn't tell you well how to get started and made to much useless stuff and couldn't progress

09:13 * ConfusionRift looks at Golden. "What's up?"

09:14 <Ali> Well the 1.1 version gives you a ton of stuff up front, but doesn't explain how to use any of it

09:14 <Golden> Job interview

09:14 <Ali> I've figured out some of it, but the one thing I'm not thrilled with is that landfill is still costly in mats

09:14 <ConfusionRift> Oooooohhhh...

09:14 <Ali> Still needs ten stone for a single piece of landfill

09:15 <ConfusionRift> Yep, because it's necessary for you to expand land. It's a rather complex mod.

09:15 <Ali> Well its not too bad

09:15 <Ali> Power production is a bit weak right now

09:16 <Ali> And making wood is a bit annoying

09:16 <Ali> But I just don't have the land to work anything else right now.

09:30 * ConfusionRift patpats Golden. "Know that feeling. It sucks."

09:30 <Golden> Thanks

09:31 <ConfusionRift> Sorry... the only thing I can think of is to take it easy, kinda think of possible questions, and keep answers in mind. I also get nervous on interview (still do).

09:34 <ConfusionRift> Gonna expect it's a formal one, correct?

09:36 <ConfusionRift> Ali, that was one of the major walls with the mod that I saw. Trying to expand so one can have more work space, and spots for processing.

09:36 <Ali> Yeah, I have four of these converters that turn water into slag

09:36 <Ali> Then go to now an electric crusher to get stone

09:36 *** Joins: DerpyBot (DerpyBot@is.in.your.pants.eating.your.muffins)

09:36 *** ChanServ sets mode: +ao DerpyBot DerpyBot

09:36 <Ali> Half is going to get processed into copper and iron

09:36 <Ali> While the other half is going to landfill

09:37 <Ali> But I need to get the alge plant back up cause I'm running out of wood

09:37 <DerpyBot> *derp*

09:38 <Ali> Cause doing that by hand is so annoyingly slow.

09:43 <ConfusionRift> It usually is.

09:44 <ConfusionRift> They force you to make machines and rush automation. Otherwise, well, have fun waiting for almost an hour to make this one thing.

09:44 <Ali> Well you have to forage for plant fiber

09:45 <Ali> To then turn into wood pellets

09:45 <Ali> But you need 12 just to make 2 wood

09:45 <Ali> But the first three techs kinda lead you down a specific path to do all this

09:46 <Ali> But I just need so much more landfill that I really can't work on wood pellets right now.

09:48 <Ali> So I reserve what little idle time to making some wood to keep the non electric stuff going.

09:48 <Ali> But really the problem is landfill

09:49 <Ali> The 1k it gives you is nice, but most of it gets taken up by the wind farm it gives you.

09:49 <ConfusionRift> Yyyyep.

09:50 *** Quits: ^-^ (^-^@Pony-pq554b.knvltn.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

09:51 <Ali> Though I'm confused as to why there's miner recipies, there's nothing to mine

09:54 <ConfusionRift> Probably leftovers. Or they didn't bother to remove it.

09:54 <ConfusionRift> Unless the mod spawns small islands with ores somewhere.

10:08 * Ali shrugs and leans into ConfusionRift for about an hour before the mare is going to try and go to bed.

10:09 <ConfusionRift> I'm just gonna be trying to troubleshoot Starbound again. This makes no sense.

10:11 <Ali> Sorry I don't know anything about Starbound

10:17 * Golden sighs. Despite liking Cyberpunk 2077 he has decided to request a refund.

10:19 * ConfusionRift sighs.

10:20 <ConfusionRift> I might have to just... remove all mods, and just leave light mods, or play normally.

10:20 <ConfusionRift> In other words, goodbye several hours.

10:20 <ConfusionRift> I'll have to nuke the universe again, if I do.

10:20 <Golden> Note I got it on base PS4 so I got hit hard by all the bugs, and crashes.

10:21 <ConfusionRift> Also got an original PS4. Heard that I might get the game as well, which is... yeah...

10:25 <ConfusionRift> I don't understand why they pushed out the game for the PS4, when they put more time on it to work on the PS4 Pro and PS5. Especially the PS5.

10:25 <Ali> It runs like crap on consoles, but worst of all the old gens

10:28 <ConfusionRift> I'm getting reminded of the old porting days. If it's gonna be like that, they should stop. I would not be surprised if Sony starts sending "patches" to run games at 720p by default.

10:28 <Golden> Well note that it was originally intended for PS4, and XOne.

10:29 <Ali> Well ever since there hey look we're gonna have a crowded city turned into the Commonwealth, I don't know why people back the game

10:29 <ConfusionRift> The Pro and X. Because one the Pro came out, they were basically focusing all energy on that. Hence why newer games have been running like trash on the original PS4.

10:31 <Golden> I really did enjoy it, and got through the story, and got the ending I wanted. Though with one quest basically breaking the game until I got lucky that an in game call got through, and the 50+ crashes I suffered from it even during the ending of which I had to replay some of the final segments again (thank god for auto saves.) I just...have a bad taste on my mouth.

10:33 <Ali> Well even the PC version wasn't immune to bugs

10:33 <Golden> Oh I know they weren't immune to it.

10:34 <Golden> Note the game breaking glitch happened after it's first patch landed after it's release.

10:37 <Ali> The Spiffing Brit has done some great exploits on Cyberpunk

10:37 <Ali> Including turning the basic revolver that you get at the start of the game into a 9000 damage headshot gun

10:38 <Golden> I was basically able to afford the car, and cyberware stuff I wanted with a money glitch.

10:38 <Ali> Was it a painting that sells for 4k

10:39 <Golden> Yes.

10:39 <Ali> And then can be bought back for five bucks

10:39 <Golden> Yup

10:39 <Ali> Like, how did they miss that

10:39 <Ali> Guess it wasn't playtested in alpha

10:39 <ConfusionRift> It's like... it wasn't tested or somthin'.

10:39 <ConfusionRift> :P

10:40 <Golden> Shrug....Imma miss the car that was nicknamed Cthulhu...

10:40 <Golden> I will even miss my version of V.

10:53 * Ali flops over ConfusionRift as she's slowly making progress on her ore crushing

11:00 <ConfusionRift> At least. I'm doing progress, but I keep hitting some trash, which ends up booting me out of a planet.

11:04 <Golden> I have the interview in ten hours. I need to sleep.

11:04 <Golden> So cya everyone.

11:04 <ConfusionRift> Alrighty. Have a good one. Hope all goes well.

11:07 <Ali> Hmmm, does not seem like wood pellets is a good power source.

11:17 <Ali> Bleh, wood blocks can't burn, dumb

11:18 <Ali> But apperently can once put in a furnace and wood blocks 2 is researched

11:19 * Ali boops Dappled, official vid from nintendo or it isn't true.

11:19 <Dappled> Kay, to be fair, it's not actually Geno. It's a Mii costume for Geno.

11:20 <ConfusionRift> It's... been there... for a while.

11:20 <Dappled> What has?

11:20 <ConfusionRift> The Geno's costume.

11:21 * Dappled only saw the trailer drop for it yesterday.

11:21 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Mii Fighter Costumes #8 - Nintendo Switch

11:22 <Dappled> Says it'll be available on the 22nd.

11:22 <ConfusionRift> The hell?!

11:23 <Ali> I still bet they'll whine its not a real character

11:24 <Dappled> I mean yeah, some are. It's just been a meme for so long.

11:25 <ConfusionRift> I knew I wasn't crazy!

11:25 <ConfusionRift> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBxMmbhXBrI

11:25 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

11:25 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Geno, Tails, & Knuckles Costumes Coming to Super Smash Bros 3DS & Wii U

11:25 <ConfusionRift> It's a costume port.

11:26 <ConfusionRift> The fact that no one accepts that he's been removed ages ago is baffling.

11:27 * Dappled didn't play that generation of Smash, so never knew that he was in any of them.

11:27 <Ali> Cult followings

11:27 <Ali> Like how the sonic fandom is now divided due to the archie sonic being dead

11:28 <Dappled> Lies! Sally Acorn will live on in our hearts!

11:28 <ConfusionRift> Actually, a lot of things happened there.

11:28 <Ali> I know the whole debocle ConfusionRift

11:28 <Ali> I'm just sad that the main cast is pretty much dead

11:29 * Dappled never read the sonic archie comics. Though given that it had a crossover with Skies of Arcadia, I probably should.

11:30 * Dappled glares at Sega. Give that an HD remake ya butts.

11:30 <ConfusionRift> Oh, there are a mess of crossovers alright. :P

11:32 * Ali drops the whole Knuckles the Echidna series onto ConfusionRift, that itself was a mess.

11:33 <ConfusionRift> I think i heard of that one.

11:33 * Dappled adds a replay of Skies of Arcadia to the list of things to do.

11:33 * Schism wakes up, oogs. "Been a while since I've had a low blood sugar."

11:33 * ConfusionRift goes into a new planet, and gets booted out.

11:34 * Ali flops over Schism with seablock

11:34 <ConfusionRift> I have made a decision. (looks at the files) I hate to do this... but... this is getting wiped.

11:34 <Dappled> Nuuuuu

11:35 <Ali> Nope, charcoal doesn't help my power issues either.

11:35 <ConfusionRift> I can't fix the problem at all! The game is calling for old variables, causing everything to crash and boot me out.

11:35 <Ali> Looks like you really need to flop back and forth between processings

11:36 * Ali boops Schism, knows its been awhile but do they have any advice for the unicorn about power?

11:36 * Dappled converts Ali's setup to Diesel.

11:39 <Schism> Ali: Gotta scale up, scale up, scale up.  I suggest combining Seablock with the warehouse mod if you can.

11:39 <Schism> Factorissimo2, that is.

11:40 * Dappled go bed horse. Nini

11:40 <Schism> Rest well!

11:40 <Schism> It's not perfect, but eventually you will be able to get a positive net power without the need for turbines.  Power is the major balancing act there.

11:41 <Ali> Well the game gave me a bunch of wind turbines

11:41 <Ali> But they don't make dodo for power and I can't run on the boiler power cause I don't make enough wood pellets to keep one going.

11:42 <Schism> Yeah, like I said, it's a juggling act.  :<  Gives you a bunch of sand to start, and you're going to need almost all of it to set up enough wind turbines to even begin.

11:45 <Ali> Yeah I know, I have 8 Electrolyzers running to help get me more landfill and basic mats

11:45 <Ali> But they just eat so much power I don't know what to do

11:46 <Ali> Its like you're supposed to run one or the other it seems?

17:32 <Schism> No, I'm upset that Airborne Kingdom is an EGS exclusive right now, and I'm torn between my morals and picking up a city-builder which combines all of my favourite things.

17:33 * ADragonDreaming whistles Bink's Sake as a response.

17:33 <Fluttershy> I'm upset Aerith Died at the end of FF7!

17:33 <ADragonDreaming> End?

17:34 <ADragonDreaming> That doesn't happen at the end.

17:34 <Schism> Spoken as someone who's never played FFVII, then.

17:34 <ADragonDreaming> That happens at like, 33% or something.

17:35 <Schism> Even I know that happens at the end of the ... well, I'll say second act.  The first act is the fall of Midgar, after all.

17:35 <Fluttershy> Yup.

17:38 <ADragonDreaming> isn't that a button mashing thing?

17:38 <ADragonDreaming> or is it buttons in sequence?

17:38 <Schism> It's buttons in sequence.

17:39 <ADragonDreaming> so then it's all about pushing them at the right time. get the timing down, and it's ez pz

17:39 <Schism> I forget what sequence, but you have to wait for the animation to finish before pressing the next button, yeah.

18:35 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'll take responsibility for that.

18:39 <ADragonDreaming> It's Safi's fault.

18:40 * Cepheid looks at cat. "Are... you okay?" Said cat is flopped onto his side, looking at her, with one eye half-open, the other closed.

18:41 <Cepheid> He's asleep with one eye open.

18:41 <Cepheid> I know this because he's snoring.

18:43 <ADragonDreaming> hehe

18:43 <Cepheid> Also, off-topic, but Safi's ultimate attack apparently has an official name.

18:43 <Cepheid> Sapphire of the Emperor.

18:44 <Cepheid> And, apparently, it can make use of it in such a way that crags may not spawn before another use of it occurs.

18:46 <ADragonDreaming> we kind of had that happen

18:46 <Cepheid> This happens in the case where players happen to continually interrupt it's attacks such that it never gets off one of the attacks that spawns crags.

18:46 <ADragonDreaming> the crag-spawn attack happened, like, 2 seconds before it nova'd

18:46 <Cepheid> Yeah, this is more a special case in which all the attacks that spawn crags are interrupted.

18:46 <Cepheid> Such that there is no way to defend against the attack.

18:47 <Cepheid> It's guaranteed to perform at least one, or both of the attacks, but if they're interrupted, you're screwed.

18:55 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/4gqwerh1fy561.jpg

18:57 <ADragonDreaming> heh

18:59 <NitroTheFurry> Lol

18:59 <Cepheid> "We're going to take responsibility."  *Two weeks later, a bunch of developers are laid off.*  "We took responsibility, investigated, and fired those responsible."

19:01 <Cepheid> The disturbing thing is that while that sounds like a joke, that's actually what I'm expecting will happen.

19:15 <Cepheid> Cat, what is your malfunction this time?

19:34 <Cepheid> The director for Capcom's single most-popular game has left the company.

19:40 <Cepheid> So, hmm.  In the Game Awards trailer for Rise, Capcom explicitly mentions that we should listen for something specific in the trailer.  The only thing I caught that wasn't "revealed" was at, mm...

19:40 <Cepheid> https://youtu.be/3pna-XDoVLo?t=130 Here.  You hear a roar of a monster, and see an electrical projectile traveling along the ground, but the monster itself is never revealed.

19:41 <Cepheid> The roar, and the projectile, makes me think Khezu.

19:42 <Cepheid> But Lagiacrus has also been noted to do an attack like that in 3 Ultimate and beyond, if I recall correctly.

19:43 <Cepheid> People have also noted that Magnalamo's size is actually pretty impressive.

19:43 <Cepheid> Given that an Arzuros stands a few feet above a typical hunter, and at the end of the trailer, Magnalamo is seen carrying an Arzuros by the neck, with it's feet not touching the ground.  Meaning that Magnalamo stands a good considerable height above a hunter.

21:16 <NitroTheFurry> Hiy

21:16 <NitroTheFurry> A

21:18 <Cepheid> I don't understand why it took until CP2077, and a console version at that, before people decided to start scrutinizing the business aspect of a corporation with respect to shoddy ports or games.

21:19 <Dappled> It didn't. Gamers have goldfish memory. This happens every few years and it's always new.

21:19 * Dappled points at No Man's Sky.

21:20 * Dappled points at Fallout 76.

21:20 <Cepheid> Mmm.

21:20 * Dappled points at Sonic 06

21:21 <Cepheid> I guess admittedly the gaming community IS easily distracted.  I mean, that's the point of video games in the first place, a distraction from the problems of the world.  Bad game comes along?  Just need to wait for the next big game to come along and cause us to forget.

21:21 <Dappled> Basically.

21:21 <Cepheid> What's annoying is that it'll happen again, basically.

21:22 <Cepheid> In a month or two, a number of patches created out of horrific crunch conditions will be released, then the upper management will give itself a pat on the back for good direction, management, etc.

21:22 <Dappled> Heck, Batman: Arkham Knight was pulled from stores for the exact same reason as Cyberpunk.

21:22 <Cepheid> Nevermind the last several years of problems constantly cropping up from CDPR, and constant attempts to misdirect away from problems.

21:25 <Cepheid> I'm actually curious as to how this will play out.  As stated above, I'm expecting that a number of scapegoats across the dev team will be fired.  Meanwhile, horrific crunch conditions are probably occurring as we speak.  And when the patches are released, and the problems are all fixed, the upper management will be giving praise to their own leadership and direction, give themselves raises, and shaft the development team.

21:26 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, their legal team is probably writing updated contracts to muzzle the developers from saying anything about what's happening inside the company.

21:26 <DerpyBot> *derp*

21:26 <Cepheid> Because oh gods, conditions inside the company are being exposed right now by the developers, musicians artists and the like, and CDPR's upper management must be livid as hell because of it.

21:27 <Cepheid> It's guaranteed they're looking into ways they can muzzle their employees.

21:28 * NitroTheFurry likes muzzles

21:28 <Cepheid> I mostly assume all this because, when I put aside my morals in favor of the bottom line, this is what I think is the best approach.

21:28 * Finwe balances an apple atop NitroTheFurry's muzzle.

21:30 <Cepheid> The investors want to see someone punished, so find a bunch of people among the developers who were critical in certain areas, and lay them off or fire them.  Then tell the rest of the team that they're required to work overtime to fix the problems ASAP.  Then when the problems are all fixed, go online and talk about how through my excellent leadership, I managed to get the team together to focus on fixing the problems, and we

21:30 <Cepheid> succeeded.  Prior to that, I'd ask the lawyers to draw up a mandatory new contract that ensures that the developers are not allowed to talk to the public regarding the internal processes for development, under an NDA.  Don't sign it?  You're out of a job.]

21:36 <Cepheid> The players?  The media?  They'll know what's going on.  But as some games have shown, it's irrelevant.  NMS, Monster Hunter: World(And Iceborne) on the PC, Fallout 76.  All of these games had rough, shoddy launches, and were fixed up.  And now, they're selling better than before.  Even if you advocate for boycotting, people are still going to buy the game.  So in the end, while the stock prices dropped because of the poor

21:36 <Cepheid> workmanship causing negative backlash, eventually it'll turn around.

21:36 <Cepheid> Sales of the game will go up, and eventually stock prices will go up.  Investors will be happy.

21:37 <Cepheid> In fact, I guarantee there are people hedging on this happening right now.  Stock prices are down, so buy while they're lower than normal.  Then, when the problems are resolved, and sales then start increasing, the stock prices go up, you've made a profit.

21:38 <Cepheid> I can see all sorts of ways to abuse this.  This is all just one or two ways.

21:38 <Cepheid> It's obviously not that simple, but it's a framework to work with.

21:39 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, I'm gonna go put this irritation I'm feeling to work and obsessively clean for a bit.  I need to do some housework around the house, as I felt like I've done eff-all around the house lately.

23:06 <Cepheid> The ACTION command actually requires non-printing control characters, that's why it didn't work.

23:07 * Cepheid has researched the IRC protocol a few times. It's pretty well-defined.

23:09 *** Joins: vhalkola (vhalkola@Pony-le8b8f.v6.elisa-mobile.fi)

23:10 * vhalkola noms on Ali's tail.

23:10 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3552 [ https://tinyurl.com/y9wh7tvr ]

23:10 * Ali doesn't know who this is

23:11 <ADragonDreaming> 'tis Finwe testing out alternate IRC methods.

23:11 <Ali> Oooh

23:11 <RichardMist> yup

23:11 <vhalkola> Ha! I did it!

23:11 * Cepheid does a quick test.

23:11 * Cepheid test

23:11 * Finwe boops Ali.

23:11 <Cepheid> Nope, guess not.

23:11 * Ali squeaks

23:11 <RichardMist> But this technology is noice

23:11 <Cepheid> Not that easy, I guess.

23:12 <Ali> Seablock is so confusing

23:12 *** Quits: vhalkola (vhalkola@Pony-le8b8f.v6.elisa-mobile.fi) (Quit: Omnomnom.)

23:12 <Ali> Power is such a limiter that I'm just idling it to get ores

23:12 <Finwe> Cepheid: Indeed, it was PRIVMSG #channel :^AACTION does something^A

23:13 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

23:13 <Finwe> ^A representing Ctrl-A.

23:13 <Cepheid> It's probably because I'm using CTRL+SHIFT+u to input a character.

23:13 <Cepheid> Which doesn't work the same.

23:13 <RichardMist> Finwe, what about ban >:}?

23:14 <Finwe> 's MODE #channel +b nick

23:14 <Cepheid> Doesn't work unless you have proper privileges, though.

23:14 <ADragonDreaming> not that you can do it in a channel you don't have at least half-op on, tho

23:16 <RichardMist> okay, I understood

23:17 <Cepheid> I'm guessing that some sort of translation must be occurring, because according to everything I'm looking at, the above should have been \x01etc\x01.  Even if I used CTRL+SHIFT+u to input a unicode character.  The first 128 characters of Unicode map to ASCII.  So, that it came out as ^A indicates some sort of translation is occurring.  Either before my client sends it, or when the server receives it.

23:18 <Cepheid> Usually such translation is done to avoid exploiting stuff, or for string handling, etc, etc.

23:18 <Cepheid> Like sending a malformed message including only the leading \x01 and not the ending one, or vice versa.

23:19 <RichardMist> Interesting...

23:20 <Finwe> ^A has ASCII code 001, Start of Heading.

23:20 <Cepheid> Ah, I wasn't aware.

23:21 <Cepheid> So yes, it passed through fine then, I guess.

23:21 <Cepheid> Just didn't have the desired effect.

23:21 <Cepheid> I really should have a chart or something that covers all the CTRL+? sequences and what they come out as.

23:22 <Cepheid> ... Seriously, Kojima?  A 34GB update?

23:22 <Jackie> Can't even get Termux to install in F-Droid

23:24 <Jackie> I'm going to find the APK of it

23:24 <Finwe> Hmm, Termux should install just fine.

23:24 <Cepheid> Finwe:  Sometimes the Google Play store is a pain to deal with.  Depends on the device.

23:26 <Cepheid> Ah.  That explains the patch size.  It's a CP2077 collaboration.

23:26 <Cepheid> So, lots of new textures, models, voice clips, audio, and so on.

23:27 <Cepheid> Heh.  That Safi siege got me an achievement last night.

23:27 <Cepheid> Devastating Offense.  Acquire five extremely rare weapons.

23:27 <Cepheid> All Safi weapons are rarity 12, so they count towards it.

23:28 <Finwe> Your shoulders and chest co-operate through a collarbonation.

23:28 <Cepheid> ...

23:29 <Cepheid> Finwe, you really sure you want to make such terrible jokes around me right now?  Some context:  I had a meltdown sometime between 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM.  And right now, I'm in the mood to vent the remaining bits of my energy against something soft and squishy. :P

23:30 <Finwe> Quantums, not bits.

23:30 <Finwe> Erm, "quanta".

23:30 <Finwe> Data is measured in bits, energy in quanta.

23:31 <Cepheid> ...

23:31 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming, do you think anyone would mind if I defenestrated Finwe, here?

23:32 <Finwe> :3

23:33 *** Quits: Jackie (yaaic@Pony-qb9d12.ckh7.ltq5.3c00.2404.IP) (Connection closed)

23:34 <Finwe> I'm already defenestrated in the sense that I'm not running Windows at the moment.

23:34 <Schism> Cepheid: Well, I'm sure your fist is of two minds about it.

23:35 <Schism> After all, your three fingers are all for a punch, but your thumb and forefinger are opposed.

23:35 * Cepheid throws Finwe out the window. On the first floor of the chatroom.

23:35 * Cepheid also throws Schism out the window as well.

23:35 * Finwe hovers outside the window and catches Schism.

23:37 <Jackie_> Finwe what IRC commands should I type when connecting

23:39 <Jackie_> Just realized that he's AFK

23:41 * Jackie_ boops Finwe

23:42 * Finwe scrunchymuzzles.

23:42 <Finwe> *scrunch*

23:42 <Finwe> Jackie_: "USER loginname 8 * : realname" and "NICK nickname"

23:42 <Finwe> Then e.g. "JOIN #channel" and "PRIVMSG #channel :message"

23:43 <RichardMist> Jackie_, you can type /join [CHANNEL_NAME] to chanserv

23:43 *** Joins: Jackie (jackie@Pony-qb9d12.ckh7.ltq5.3c00.2404.IP)

23:44 <Finwe> RichardMist: Not when communicating directly with the server.

23:45 <RichardMist> Jackie, have you tried YAAIC to fix connection problems?

23:45 <RichardMist> Thank you Finwe, I understood you

23:46 <Jackie> test

23:46 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-k5n165.20dc.fhnt.0406.2601.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

23:47 <Finwe> Jackie: You seem to have got hold of it.

23:48 <Finwe> You can send to a nick like you would send to a channel: PRIVMSG nick :message

23:49 <Jackie> I'm typing this on telnett

23:49 <Finwe> If you are idle for a long time the server will send you a ping message, which should be answered with a similar PONG message.

23:50 <Cepheid> Okay.  Tempered Guiding Lands monsters hurt, ADra.

23:52 <Jackie> It's quite annoying to  keep typing "PONG derpy.canternet.org"

23:55 <RichardMist> Try auto-typing commands if this option is exist

23:55 *** Quits: Jackie (jackie@Pony-qb9d12.ckh7.ltq5.3c00.2404.IP) (Quit: Custom quit message.)

23:55 <Jackie_> Is that a thing in telnet?

23:58 <Cepheid> Such tools are available to do that, yes.  But, I have to ask.

23:58 <Cepheid> Why are you using telnet to connect to IRC?
