03:08 <Cepheid> I am starting to think that the strongest monsters are not the arch-tempered event monsters and the likes of Fatalis, Safi'jiiva, and Alatreon.
03:08 <Cepheid> The monsters in the guiding lands get a hell of a stat boost compared to their optional quest variants.
03:09 <Cepheid> Case in point.
03:09 <Cepheid> Dodogama's M1*, has 17400 HP, attack and defense multipliers are, respectively, 4.90 and 1.00
03:10 <Cepheid> For a single player.
03:10 <Cepheid> Now, the Guiding Lands version?
03:10 <Cepheid> 18000 HP. Not a big change.

04:05 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm debating if there's anything I'll want for tomorrow.
04:05 <Cepheid> Since after tomorrow, everything will be closed, and only essential stuff will be open, etc.
04:06 <Schism> Yup. I'm lucky that the grocer next to me will be open still, buuuuut probably sold out of toilet paper again, because people are assholes.

04:51 <Schism> Oh for heavens' sake. I can tell you one thing, both of those are better than going through a sudden surge of biological redound.
04:51 <Cepheid> You okay over there?
04:56 <Cepheid> You know, even if it wasn't a crime, rubbing one's family jewels on the corpse of a dead leader still seems like a dick move.
04:56 <Schism> Yeah, just that a sudden case of 'hey, my digestive process is working again' has led to an unpleasant, yet necessary, symptom.
04:57 <Cepheid> Nothing serious I hope?
04:58 <Schism> Nothing more serious than a repeated visit to pay more proper respects to the throne.
05:05 <Cepheid> Ah, that problem. Yeah.
05:05 <Cepheid> I've been having issues of that nature myself. Alongside some acid reflux.
05:06 <Schism> I'd check your ketones just because.
05:07 <Cepheid> I think it's just a minor bug.

05:43 <Schism> While I understand that hospitals require extraordinarily low humidity, that might be the worst part of staying in one for even a small period of time.

05:54 * ConfusionRift snugs Schism back, and thankies for the treats. :P
05:56 * Ali flops over the ConfusionRift
05:57 <Cepheid> You know, I never noticed that. Been going through the wiki for MH. Next time you ever see a Wyverian, say, the Seeker, take a close look at their legs, particularly their feet.
05:57 <Cepheid> Wyverians are digitigrades.
05:58 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
05:58 <ConfusionRift> That was a feature they had since Tri. :P
05:58 <Schism> That's odd. I would have assumed that every race _except_ hominids were digitigrades. I'll have to pay more attention.
05:59 <ConfusionRift> I think. I'm sure the boat captain in Tri was also a Wyverian.
05:59 * Ali has a factorio itch she wants to do, but vanilla doesn't do much right now and even though there's Satisfactory, she's a bit leery on it.
06:00 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait, yes, but not noticeable there.
06:00 <ConfusionRift> The attire covers it, but still. I'm sure it was seen somewhere else
06:01 <ConfusionRift> Also, if you look carefully at the wondering Wyverians around the hub, you can see it.
06:01 <Cepheid> Yeah.
06:01 <Cepheid> It's particularly apparent on the shorter ones.
06:01 <ConfusionRift> Mhmm.
06:02 <Cepheid> But you can see it on the Seeker and the Third Fleet Master quite clearly as well.
06:03 <ConfusionRift> Ali: Funny enough, I didn't felt the same playing Satisfactory. Unsure why. Might be the whole "I don't feel I'll ever have enough space" situation.
06:03 <Cepheid> Ali: Space Exploration mod.
06:04 <ConfusionRift> Huh... the weaponsmith in MHF2 was a Wyverian as well.
06:04 <Cepheid> Bit weird to set up, though, as simply installing the core mod doesn't install all the dependencies. One of the dependencies is not listed as such because of a circular dependency issue that would arise.
06:05 <ConfusionRift> Same goes for the credits songstress. But I would have never noticed. Crunched pixels and all.
06:05 <Ali> Also, and this is just a question. Why are the Angel and Bob mods so popular when, at least for seablock experience with them, adds useless complexity to the game.
06:06 <Ali> I get with seablock the extra challenges
06:06 <Cepheid> It's the added complexity that draws some people.
06:06 <ConfusionRift> Gregtech.
06:06 <Ali> God gregtech
06:07 <Ali> The problem with gregtech is there's no automation in minecraft
06:07 <ConfusionRift> It is still popular. Same goes with RLCraft, aside from the "people like to watch me die" aspect.
06:07 <Ali> I thought gregtech died back with .5?
06:08 <ConfusionRift> I'm pretty sure there was either a revival or something similar by another name.
06:09 <Cepheid> There was.
06:09 <ConfusionRift> Even if it was dead, there are still mods that do something similar.
06:10 <ConfusionRift> Grabbing something simple, and tearing it to almost molecular level, and then work the crafting that way.
06:12 * Cepheid finishes up hunting for the evening.
06:12 <ConfusionRift> Anyways, the point was that people like complexity. To either spice things up, or to make it "more immersive".
06:14 * ConfusionRift shouldn't be talking, playing Frackin' Universes with 80 other mods attached.
06:19 <ConfusionRift> Imagine having to research so you can make the starting equipment.
06:22 * Ali blehs, that reminds her of seablock and how it hosed her on the first time thru
06:22 <Ali> Here waste 40 mins trying to figue out the mod
06:23 <Ali> Only to accidently lock yourself out of progression cause you made too many unneeded items
06:23 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-aj9mbi.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)
06:23 <ConfusionRift> With FU, you can craft some of the important benches, but they're useless, till you research making stuff. And after that, you need to research the material, and how to use said material for stuff.
06:24 <ConfusionRift> Thaaaaat sucks.
06:24 <Ali> Well I accidently used one too many iron pipes
06:24 <Ali> And cause of how the first three techs work in seablock
06:24 <Ali> iron pipes are blocked till you can do the third tech
06:25 <Ali> But I needed an iron pipe to /progress/ to get to that item that would unlock iron pipes

06:38 <Ali> Oh I restarted and got further
06:38 <Cepheid> Ah.
06:39 <Ali> Just I'm blocked at the green tech spot and don't feel like I can automate anything
06:39 * Cepheid goes to check Space Exploration, herself.
06:39 <Ali> Apperently that mod uses a lot of bob stuff
06:40 <Ali> And makes the rocket launch need like 50 takeoffs
06:41 <Cepheid> According to the mod information, it's actually *INCOMPATIBLE* with Bobs.
06:41 <Cepheid> and Angels.
06:41 <Ali> Is it? The one I saw said it used bobs
06:42 <Cepheid> Might have been a compatibility mod? But the mod panel says that it conflicts with all of Bob's mods and Angel's mods.
06:43 <Ali> I'll check again
06:45 <Ali> So it seems I was looking at the wrong mod~
06:48 * PinkieShy walks up to Ali and hugs her
06:48 <Cepheid> You install the core mod, which will pull all the dependencies. But you need one more mod. Space Exploration Postprocessing.
06:48 * Ali squeaks softly at PinkieShy and leans into them
06:48 <Ali> Yeah I did see something about that one.

06:52 <Cepheid> Been going at it fot 10 minutes now.
06:52 <ConfusionRift> Rather that than the arm, no?
06:53 <Cepheid> True.
06:54 * ConfusionRift might have jinxed.
06:54 <Cepheid> He seems to like this particular setup. Comforter on me, with weighted blanket on top. He goes into an incredibly deep sleep.
06:54 * Schism pours out a bit of trail mix. Gets, like, 90% pumpernickel chips. She's not sure if this is better or worse.
06:55 <Schism> Of course, pumpernickel chips are the best part of this trail mix, but even so, I am sus.
06:57 <Ali> What is this ore patch generation and why does it irritate me so much
06:57 <ConfusionRift> Is it a small fart of ore?
07:00 <PinkieShy> o_o
07:00 <PinkieShy> BitLife just realized has a creepy way to it..
07:00 <PinkieShy> One of the parents in the game can be 67 while the other is 27...
07:01 <PinkieShy> o.o
07:01 <Cepheid> Creepy, but not illegal.
07:02 <Ali> ConfusionRift, no worse, its little blips of each ore type mixed together
07:02 <ConfusionRift> Oh, those are terrible in every way.

07:40 <Cepheid> I clutched actually, and got knocked off.
07:40 <Cepheid> But yeah, it goes into a "Last Stand" mode.
07:40 <ConfusionRift> It's been long since I last saw Brachydios. Same goes for half the roster in Icebourne.
07:41 <Cepheid> Basically, no more exploding slime on its body. Unfortynately, it splashes burning slime all over the area, and locks the area down. No escaping.
07:42 <Cepheid> And don't think you can avoid this with a capture before it heads to the last area. It fails the quest if you capture.
07:44 <Golden> Brachy: Oh you approach me?
07:48 <ConfusionRift> Hey guys, I captured it! | "...release it." | What?! Why? Wouldn't it be better that way, for research purposes? | "We said hunt, not capture." | Fffffine. (releases it) | "Oh, and you failed. Do it again!" | (glares at them) I keep thinking we're the enemy here.
07:51 * Golden flops.

08:07 <PinkieShy> We are almost done with 2020 at last.. Its been so long :(
08:07 <PinkieShy> 2021 better bring massive hope :(
08:09 <Ali> Or it'll be just as much of a dumpster fire as 2020
08:13 <PinkieShy> Hopefully it doesn't turn even worse :(
08:13 <Cepheid> It'll be the same as any other year. The year itself does not actually matter. It's the people that make a year good or bad, as well as events.
08:13 <PinkieShy> Almost year like 2020 back to back like that would be deep sadness and a stain in the history books forever.
08:18 <Ali> If it even gets put into history books with cancel culture
08:21 <Ali> So Cepheid the startship mod starts out with a page from IR with burner stuff
08:23 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
08:23 <Cepheid> Needing to use burner inserters to feed burner inserters and such.
08:23 <Cepheid> Fortunately, leeching was implemented.
08:24 <Ali> Well if you're an impatient person like me
08:24 <Ali> You can sit out that phase of the game and research those techs to get power and everything
08:24 <Ali> THough I was miffed by the water pump needing power.
08:25 <Cepheid> Well, it kinda makes sense?

11:04 <RazorSharpFang> So, I was thinking of finally transitioning away from Windows 7 on my laptop.
11:05 <RichardMist> Nice idea
11:06 <RichardMist> RazorSharpFang, what do you want to use instead of Windows 7?
11:07 <RazorSharpFang> I was actually thinking of switching to Ubuntu since I don't use it to run games.

15:13 <Cyan_Spark> WASHINGTON (REUTERS) -Republicans and Democrats in the US House of Representatives on Thursday (Dec 24) blocked attempts to alter a US$2.3 trillion (S$3 trillion) coronavirus aid and government spending package, leaving its status in doubt after President Donald Trump demanded extensive changes to the legislation.
15:13 <RazorSharpFang> I'm sure that'll be good for the market.
15:13 <Cyan_Spark> Oh, that was fast
15:14 <Cyan_Spark> After the tweet calling for $2000 Trumpbucks,
15:14 <Cyan_Spark> "Trump's fellow Republicans, who oppose the higher amount, blocked that effort."
15:14 <Cyan_Spark> "Republicans then moved to change the amount of foreign aid included in the package, seeking to address another one of Trump's complaints."
15:14 <Cyan_Spark> "Democrats blocked that request."
15:14 <Cyan_Spark> "The House then adjourned for the day."
15:14 <RazorSharpFang> A productive day in government.

16:12 <RazorSharpFang> Merry Crisis.
16:29 <Schism> Good heavens, I'd have very much liked to meet Anaxagoras of Clazomenae. The man was either a time traveler or a genius nonpareil, or possibly both.
16:31 <Schism> He effectively came up with a cosmology which, while not as sophisticated as what we have two and a half millennia later, was nonetheless a stupendous guess.
16:34 <Schism> Not entirely so -- his philosophy was of course limited by his time, and the understanding of the physical world was limited, but he did in a roundabout way propose the law of conservation of energy and matter.

19:50 <Cepheid> Sony has published open-source code for a Linux driver.
19:50 <Cepheid> It's for the PS5 DualSense controller.

19:52 <Schism> Oh, Cepheid: a Bahamut Lagoon translation, an _actual_ one, has been completed and released, in case you want to play what might have been Final Fantasy Tactics in English.
19:54 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:54 <Schism> I say actual because the previous one from so many years ago was kind of a patchwork job.
19:55 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

19:57 <Schism> "Over 370KB of new SNES assembly code and 180 KB of tooling code." HOW did they do that in THREE MONTHS?!
19:57 <Schism> Okay, working off previous work done on the game, I know, stand on the shoulders of giants and whatnot but holy crags.
19:58 * Cepheid leaves message for sister. "I'm currently falling asleep at 3-4 AM. I swear to the gods, if you wake me up at 6 AM, I will call you back, and spend five minutes just screaming as loudly as possible."

20:41 <Schism> What about smoked maple turkey?
20:44 <Cepheid> The problem I have with sugar being applied to foods like that, is that it causes some sort of psychological effect. I expect a certain flavor, but it's replaced with sweet, which unsettles my stomach.
20:45 <Schism> Hmm. What if the result is more of a caramelization, which results in a less sweet, more smoky flavour which melds better?
20:46 <Schism> That nutty flavour is nice to have alongside a ham. o3o

20:52 <Schism> There is a pleasure to a certain sweetness alongside a meat -- ham goes well with applesauce at the worst of times -- but I do understand.
20:53 <Cepheid> For some reason, certain types of sweetness do not work with my stomach, and a majority of them involve cooking, outside of baking.
20:56 <Cepheid> When I consume said types of sweetness, my gag reflex kicks in hard.
20:59 <Schism> Oh, I can definitely get behind that.
21:00 <Schism> I'm fine with many, but... I don't know what exactly kicks off my own gag reflex, but yeah.
21:00 * Schism grumbles at DOOM. "Okay, internet. Finish up those last 33% so that I can have fun moidorin'."
21:00 * Cepheid feels like playing something else instead of MH today. Will change mind if someone calls them to play it, but is gonna spend time playing Factorio.
21:01 <Schism> I'd normally settle for MHW, but I feel like gore and viscera are the order of the day. Paint the halls with boughs of entrails, fa la la la la, la la la la.
21:01 <Schism> s/paint/deck/
21:01 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
21:01 <Cepheid> You could have also checked out Prodeus.
21:02 <Cepheid> Takes old-school DOOM mapping and style, combines it with modern shaders to create nice lighting, interesting sprite setups, and blood.
21:03 * Schism looks at it, and sighs. "Damnit, Alice."
21:03 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:03 <Cepheid> DOOM 2016 is fine, though.
21:04 <Cepheid> Hum... first step of automation, get some power going.
21:05 <Schism> There, that's the last of my purchases gaming-wise. It's clearly a work of love, and yeah.
21:05 <Cepheid> Actually...
21:05 <Cepheid> Power's pointless right now.
21:05 <Cepheid> I got nothing electric.
21:07 <Cepheid> Will soon enough. Electric miners, which will solve a lot of stuff.

21:07 * Angeline sprawls on Dappled.
21:08 * Starlight_Glimmer adds a bow to Ali's mane
21:08 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/4NVBVam.png Not the cleanest picture. Didn't have my phone, so I used my laptop.
21:09 <Cepheid> That's Tizzy on my dad's chest, licking his face.
21:14 * Dappled belatedly brushies the Angeline.
21:14 * Angeline snugglies Dappled.
21:15 <Dappled> Sup?
21:15 * Angeline just wanted to be snuggly.
21:15 * Dappled snuggles.
21:16 <Cepheid> Hum. Interesting.
21:16 <Cepheid> So, there's two basic ways to generate electricity at the start. Usual steam power, which requires some research, and a burner generator. AKA: Coal plant.
21:17 <Schism> Cepheid: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3357
21:17 <Schism> (Just at random.)
21:17 * Dappled makes a player run on a treadmill
21:17 <Cepheid> The coal plant produces much more power, but has lower efficiency. Steam power is much more efficient, cleaner(though not by much), but produces less than half the power of the coal generator.
21:17 <Cepheid> It also takes up more space.
21:19 <Cepheid> 30/m pollution for steam power, and it generates 1.8MW of power per boiler. Versus 34/m pollution for the coal generator at 2MW of power.
21:20 <Cepheid> Interestingly, when doing some basic math, the production results have the same ratio.
21:21 <Cepheid> 1.8/2.0 = 0.9. 34 * 0.9 = 30.6. So, same amount of power:pollution.
21:21 <Dappled> Hey Angeline.
21:21 <Dappled> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSGae-hYAjM
21:21 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
21:21 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about I'm not afraid of you.
21:22 <Angeline> Please don't make me laugh.
21:22 <Angeline> I pulled a muscle and it hurts to do that.

21:29 <Cepheid> I have no idea where the biters are coming from, as the cloud is so large it exceeds the starting radar range.
21:45 <Cepheid> Power started up. Can start strip-mining and setting up basic automated manufacturing of steel and copper plates.
21:50 <Cepheid> 15 items a sec, each furnace needs 1 ever 3.2 seconds. Since fuel needs to be provided, that means 7.5 items/sec.
21:50 <Cepheid> Every 3.2 seconds, 24 items will go by a single furnace.
21:50 <Schism> Still waiting on that last 12% for DOOM. Stupid intentionally-imposed 50% limit on Steam downloads for logistic resons.
21:50 <Schism> reasons.*
21:51 <Cepheid> So, a single 15 items/s belt with one side supplying coal, the other side supplying ore, that means 24 furnaces can be run.
21:51 <Cepheid> Schism: I use 50%, myself. Though, I really need to set up some stuff to deal with buffer bloat.
21:51 <Cepheid> Buffer bloat is what kills the Internet performance when you go full-hog.
21:53 <Schism> Mmm.
21:54 <Schism> I get it, but while I am _annoyed_ by the necessity, I'm not about to screw up everything by just going full passthrough onto a third party router and manually setting up everything in exactly the wrong way.
21:55 <Schism> Not least because this is Bell, and they run everything through the same damned box.
21:57 <Cepheid> Yeah, I use a modem, a router that acts as a firewall, and a mesh router for whole-home-coverage.
21:57 <Cepheid> The router that's acting as a firewall is using CFW.
21:58 <Schism> You're also on Rogers, and however many faults they may have, they at least let you set up a passthrough without futzing with your TV service.
21:58 <Schism> And phone. *sigh*
21:59 <Schism> Though I haven't tested the phone myself, and likely won't. It seems to be stable one way or the other, so points on that.
22:00 <Cepheid> Hum. Acid reflux is gone today.
22:00 * Schism pauses, then looks at her setup. "I think that I'm not insane, but I'm suddenly annoyed."
22:00 <Cepheid> And wait, they'll mess with you using secondary routers?
22:01 <Schism> No, but I imagine if it breaks subsidiary networks that might cause issues with TVs et al.
22:01 * Schism loads up the network settings.
22:02 <Schism> Windows, I said cmd, not calc.
22:04 <Cepheid> I should update the OpenWRT on my router. With that in mind, I'll BRB in a few minutes.
22:04 <Schism> Yeah, I knew I wasn't crazy. I get the option to blackout the routing and wireless portions for the internet, and set DMZ to an ethernet MAC, but that's it.
22:05 <Cepheid> Or not. My dad decided he was going to use the Internet just as I was about to start it.
22:05 <Cepheid> You can't switch the Bell-provided hardware to a simple gateway?
22:06 <Cepheid> Or modem mode?
22:06 <Schism> Nope, though in this case it's a failure of the design rather than the hardware or firmware.
22:06 <Schism> It's intended to be the supplier of TV /and/ internet, after all, so it always has to have a wifi network access of some sort or another.
22:07 <Schism> The TV is connected to a basic receiver.
22:08 <Schism> I -can-, like I said, disable all the ethernet ports except the first, turn off wi-fi, and create a DMZ route over to a specific IP & MAC address set by both host and client, but there's no way to turn it into a bridge.
22:11 *** Joins: RichardMist (User@Pony-153.2m0.38.89.IP)
22:11 <Schism> And because it's still sending out a wi-fi signal for the TV, that means it'll interfere abominably with anything else I would want to set up.
22:13 <Schism> It's like Bell asked someone, "Hey. How are we going to screw with home network enthusiasts in the most professional and deniable fashion?" and they answered, "Welllll we have this."
22:16 <Schism> Well, things could be worse. Now I have some demons to moidor.
22:17 <Cepheid> ... Supplier of TV and Internet?
22:17 <Schism> Yes.
22:17 <Cepheid> We... don't have that setup here.
22:17 <RichardMist> Back. Hello, How are you all doing?
22:17 <Cepheid> Rogers uses a separate digital DVR device for it.
22:18 <Schism> Rogers, for all that I loathe them, has some measure of responsibility in how they handle things on the hardware end.
22:19 <Cepheid> The device they gave us allows us to just turn it into a straight up modem.
22:19 <Cepheid> Which is what's being done.
22:21 <Schism> Hi, RichardMist: We're complaining about ISPs.
22:21 <Schism> Cepheid: I know from bridging, trust me. :p Used to work for Rogers, I know the CGN model line very, very well.
22:22 <RichardMist> Hey Schism, nice to hear that
22:22 <Cepheid> Right, right.
22:22 <Schism> Hitron make, at that. Anyway, I need to punch some demons, so I'll be about.
22:22 <Cepheid> Okie. Have fun.
22:23 <Schism> Aw, I had a conversation written in my mind. "You worked for Rogers 3 years ago." "Well, have they changed much since then?"
22:27 * RichardMist *boops Ali with a snowball*
22:36 <Lumindia_> rip and tear
22:36 <Lumindia_> until it is done
22:36 * Lumindia_ shares pizza with Schism
22:37 <Lumindia_> oh, are we complaining about ISPs?
22:37 <Lumindia_> my father got a combo package for work from comcast
22:37 <Lumindia_> only ever used the internet, and they promised a rate lock for two years
22:38 <Lumindia_> one year three months later, the rate goes up, and they say 'well we raised it for everyone, so *shrug*"
22:42 <RichardMist> About ISP, my is terrible
22:42 <Cepheid> C'moooon fast inserters.
22:43 * Lumindia_ gives Ceph some pizza as well
22:44 <RichardMist> My rate goes down, heh
22:45 <RichardMist> Getting worse and worse month by month

22:54 <RichardMist> noice
22:58 <Cepheid> Sometimes I wonder if Canada Post is paying attention or not, or if they just don't care.
22:58 <Cepheid> They keep delivering someone else' mail to our place. We have to deliver it to the person who it's directed at.
23:01 <RichardMist> Heard about these things, soo strange...
23:02 <Cepheid> Honestly this neighborhood is problematic for all sorts of stuff relating to mail and delivery.f
23:02 <Cepheid> A majority of the maps out there, for example, place my address down the street and around the corner in a loop-around road.
23:03 <RichardMist> That's terrible
23:06 <RichardMist> Cepheid, how often does this happen?
23:07 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3558 [ https://tinyurl.com/ydhf5ptg ]
23:08 <Schism> heeee.
23:09 <Schism> DOOM 2016 has a focus mode for the pistol.
23:09 <Cepheid> Yep.
23:09 <Cepheid> They unfortunately get rid of the pistol for Eternal.
23:09 <Schism> I am amused and gratified by this and will use it for everything.
23:09 <Schism> Then forget Eternal, this is good enough.
23:09 <Cepheid> The Pistol is, in fact much more useful than most people give it credit for.
23:09 <Cepheid> It's unlimited ammo, to start with. And with mouse+keyboard, precision is insane.
23:10 <Schism> Yasssss.
23:10 <Cepheid> Also, make sure you're running the Vulkan API Schism. It improves performance considerably, if you're not getting a full 60FPS somehow.
23:10 <Cepheid> DOOM and DOOM Eternal have some of the most optimized Vulkan engines I've ever seen.
23:10 <Schism> I was running vanilla; should I restart therewith?
23:10 <Cepheid> It's not a bad idea.
23:10 <Schism> Okay, the next question is 'how?'
23:11 <Cepheid> I don't recall off hand. It should be under one of the graphics settings menu items.
23:11 <Cepheid> It'll be near the top.
23:11 <Schism> Then I'll pull it up. After all, I'm like 30 minutes into the game anyway.
23:11 <Cepheid> It's just, way I see it?
23:11 <Cepheid> It's a fast-paced game. You want your framerate as high as you can get it.
23:11 <Schism> Starting over with that constraint is hardly a concern.
23:11 <Cepheid> You don't have to start over.
23:12 <Cepheid> The game uses checkpoints.
23:12 <Cepheid> Just wait until the next checkpoint then set it up.
23:13 <Cepheid> Word of advice.
23:13 <Cepheid> As you progress through the campaign, you'll unlock the ability to start at any "stage" of it.
23:14 <Cepheid> It is worth noting that you can go back to any part of the campaign with all of the equipment you've unlocked up to the point you're at in the campaign.
23:14 <Cepheid> And anything you unlock will be retained for future playing. All of the collectible stuff is retroactive.
23:14 <Schism> Kaykay. And I'm restarting with Vulkan settings... lessee how this goes.
23:14 <Cepheid> If you find yourself having difficulties, go back and collect any things you missed. The game will tell you at the end of a stage if you missed anything.
23:16 <Schism> did
23:16 <Schism> did they honestly put the Revenant with Trumpets on the DOOM Eternal thing?
23:17 <Schism> Because well done.
23:18 <Schism> Anyway, I'm going to start over anyway, because heavens, why wouldn't I.
23:18 <RichardMist> DOOM, noice

23:28 * Dappled shall hang it on the walls.
23:28 <RichardMist> Yay! Cool art
23:29 * Dappled so far has Pokemon and Fairy Tail art.
23:29 * Dappled must buy frames.
23:29 <Cepheid> No idea. I haven't played Serious Sam 2, 3, or 4. I should, though.
23:29 <Cepheid> They're a good alternative to DOOM and DOOM Eternal.
23:30 * Angeline blinks awake and pushes her muzzle into Dappled's belly, then closes her eyes again. Sleepy filly.

23:30 <Angeline> ...
23:30 * Dappled brushies friend pony.
23:30 * Angeline wakes up just to bap Dappled for that herey.
23:30 <Angeline> Heresy*
23:30 * Dappled also watches the Doom Movie cause it's great.
23:31 <RichardMist> Doom Movie, yes, superb
23:32 <RichardMist> By the way, hello Angeline
23:32 <Angeline> Doom movie suffers from poor director, IMO
23:33 * RichardMist *boops random pone with fruity snowball*
23:34 <Finwe> Miss Angeline.

23:34 <Angeline> So Finwe, where dost thou live, if one is looking at a map of Crusader Kings
23:34 * Finwe wiggles in general because of being nommed upon.
23:36 <RichardMist> I wish you the best christmas ever, for you all!

23:37 <Angeline> yes
23:37 <Angeline> I want to see if you fall within my newly-forged empire

23:42 * Angeline reminds Finwe that Sweden is literally under her thumb.
23:43 <Finwe> Well, I think that I still can instigate the Sápmi to attack you from north.
23:43 <Angeline> You could, if they existed.
23:43 <Angeline> Everything north and west of Savo is mine.
23:44 <Angeline> I also own Karelia
23:44 <Finwe> Well, certainly the Kievan Rus will see that a stop is in place to be put to your expansionistic endeavours.

23:47 <Schism> @Cepheid: I must say, it's quite a nicer environment.
23:48 * Finwe offers some ham with cognac and cream sauce to Schism.
23:48 <Finwe> The sauce is, of course, finished with Peruvian pepper and Dijon mustard.
23:50 <Schism> I fear I have nothing of the sort -- merely maple-glazed ham with cranberry and lemon sauce, and a bit of basil alongside, on wheat and pine nut crackers.
23:51 <Schism> With, perhaps, some roasted sesame seeds on general principles.
23:51 <Finwe> Also, some Christmas porter and G.H. Mumm's Gordon Rouge champagne to go with that.

23:55 <Finwe> It's different nowadays, though, is it not?
23:57 <RichardMist> If you're about songs, yes
23:57 <Cepheid> Schism: API, not environment. But yeah, it definitely improves performance among other things.
23:57 <Cepheid> It also makes better use of your CPU.
