00:52 * Schism grumblecakes at her lack of secret-finding skills.

00:53 * Lumindia_ pats a Schism

00:53 <Schism> I did at least kill every last demon on that run of the level.

00:54 <Schism> So I think I'll return to the first level and seek out those other two weapon upgrade points.  I wants the best pistol.

00:55 <Schism> Yes, pistol: chaingun might go brrrr, but the pistol is a fantastic way to just take down the weaklings in a single shot.  :>

03:54 *** Joins: Vulpor (Vulpor@Pony-hgh8v7.67-212-62-net.sccoast.net)

03:56 <Vulpor> Hey all was wondering if I could get some help on some old rpgs I am thinking of buying

03:57 <Vulpor> I saw on PSN there is a release of Baulders Gate 1 and 2 and pretty much everything Black Isle has made

03:57 <Vulpor> I know nothing of these games and wanted to know if those games are still worth playing

04:04 <Finwe> Vulpor: BG:EE and BG2:EE are definitely worth playing.

04:05 * Ali curls up on the Finwe

04:05 <Vulpor> Should I get the others? I see Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment

04:05 <Vulpor> and Neverwinter Nights which I've heard good things about

04:06 *** NitroTheFurry2 is now known as NitroTheFurry

04:06 <Finwe> NWN, NWN2 and IWD EE are great as well.

04:06 <Finwe> I haven't played Planescape Torment.

04:06 <Finwe> Note that the PC versions are a lot cheaper than PS4 versions.

04:08 <Finwe> About 1/3 of the price.

04:09 <Vulpor> Money is not the issue I am just new to isometric rpg's

04:10 <Vulpor> I'm actually kind of excited I've never had to read reviews of games in about 10 years or more

04:11 <Vulpor> So many games now are easy to just see gameplay and know what the game is

04:11 <Finwe> BG and IWD are isometric AD&D / D&D 2.5 games, NWN is not isometric and is based on D&D 3.5.

04:12 <Vulpor> but I am hearing things like "play BG1 and BG2 as you like there is a ton of choices"

04:12 <Vulpor> I am a D&D newb Finwe lol

04:13 <Vulpor> I hear all these games are running on rule sets and I am like "what?:

04:13 <Vulpor> I am thinking buy BG1 and BG2 first

04:14 <Vulpor> play those if I enjoy them go on to TWD

04:14 <Vulpor> Icewind Dale I mean

04:15 <Finwe> BG1 + BG2 EE are €16.58 for PC, €54.95 for PS4.

04:15 <Vulpor> What sucks is as far as reviews go on youtube there is alot of 8 minute reviews

04:16 <Finwe> There's no Enhanced Edition of IWD2 because the source code has been lost.

04:16 * Finwe ruffles the Ali.

04:17 <Vulpor> I am listening to a "through look at Baulders Gate 1"

04:17 <Finwe> *Baldur's

04:17 <Vulpor> 4 hours of how the game was made and such

04:18 <Finwe> Long time, no see, Pony_29559.

04:18 <Vulpor> oh sweet Celestia I am still trying with that one

04:39 <Cepheid> I wonder if my doctor gave me enough of this.  *Looks at bottle of medication for acid reflux, it's got like, 6 months worth of pills in it.*

04:42 <ADragonDreaming> Might be a bit too litt.

04:42 <ADragonDreaming> *few

04:43 <ADragonDreaming> Vulpor: for Neverwinter Nights in particular, I strongly recommend the PC version.

04:44 <ADragonDreaming> The game came with a creation tool which allowed people to create their own campaigns and stories. If you go looking, you can still find a wealth of those creations around.

04:45 <Vulpor> and PS4 did not get that tool set?

04:50 *** Quits: Jackie (Jarva@Pony-1cq64s.ckh7.ltq5.3c00.2404.IP) (Quit: Quit)

04:50 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/ziNTjLq

04:51 <ADragonDreaming> Given the game would have been only recently ported to PS4, if at all

04:51 <ADragonDreaming> the point is that the community content built up over the years its been out, is not on the PS4.

04:52 <Cepheid> More or less.

04:52 <Cepheid> There's no way to get that content onto the PS4 either.

04:52 <Cepheid> Except to remake it

04:53 <Finwe> Wouldn't know about the PS4 version.

04:53 <Finwe> The Steam version works just fine with modules from Neverwinter Vault.

04:53 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/bXw5rSe

04:54 <Cepheid> The problem is that Sony is not too keen on custom user content.  That they event went along with that Dreams game is impressive.

04:54 <Finwe> I guess the idea with gaming consoles is that you don't do that.

04:55 <ADragonDreaming> based on a reddit post, apparently the PS4 players do not get custom content creation at all.

04:55 <ADragonDreaming> They can, however, join into a module hosted by a PC user via multiplayer stuff.

04:55 <ADragonDreaming> Which is interesting.

04:56 <Finwe> Obviosly given that they have the necessary tilesets and whatnot.

04:56 <Cepheid> The reason consoles tend not to allow custom content is that, when custom content gets involved, you start getting vulgar stuff everywhere.  Plus, that custom content could potentially expose an exploit in the host system.

04:57 <Cepheid> Which isn't far off the mark, given that a good amount of the 3DS exploits for installing CFW involved stuff that an owner could place on their 3DS willy-nilly.

05:05 <Cepheid> ...

05:05 <ADragonDreaming> ...

05:06 <Cepheid> Gods damnit, one of those new medications better not cause drowsiness.

05:06 <Cepheid> I was put on a new medication that had been suggested by the hospital to my family doctor, alongside the acid reflux medication.

05:07 <Cepheid> My vision looks off, and my head feels a bit weird.

05:07 <Cepheid> ... Holy, yeah, there's something going on.

05:07 <ADragonDreaming> oof

05:08 <Cepheid> Shadows in my vision are moving around, as if created by a flickering candle.  We have no lit candles in this room.

05:08 <Cepheid> And, it's not tunneling, but my vision looks like it's "elongating" so to speak.

05:09 <Cepheid> As if someone were screwing around with a field-of-view slider in a video game.

05:10 <ADragonDreaming> bizarre

05:11 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, my head feels heavy.  I feel like I should lay down.

05:16 <Cepheid> It's letting up slightly.  This may just be a thing I'll have to deal with until I get used to the medication.

05:16 <Cepheid> Especially since normally I'm supposed to start at 1mg, and the hospital advised starting at 2mg instead.

05:21 <Finwe> Moreover, I suspect that playing BG or NWN with a console-style controller could be rather tricky.

05:22 <Cepheid> You'd have to make use of the controller scheme in which one joystick is used to control a mouse pointer.

05:22 *** Quits: Vulpor (Vulpor@Pony-hgh8v7.67-212-62-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

05:22 <Cepheid> It'd be the simplest and quickest solution.

05:22 <Cepheid> Otherwise, it'd require a complete redesign of the UI from the ground up, which itself would cause all sorts of problems.

05:26 <Cepheid> You'd also have to implement some sort of UI scaling, probably.

05:26 <Cepheid> Since the original UI is not really designed for HiDPI displays.

05:38 <Cepheid> Right.  I'm still being affected by that medication.  I guess today that means more slacking off.

05:38 <Cepheid> Not that there's a lot I can do right now anyways.

05:41 <Cepheid> Hum, so where is that 1% of the map I'm missing..?

06:23 <ConfusionRift> Radm. Finwe. (salutes)

06:26 <Cepheid> Hum, ultimate weapon and armor acquired for Adol and Duren.

06:31 <ConfusionRift> Ys?

06:33 <ConfusionRift> Been gone for a while, so no idea what's up.

06:35 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.  Celceta.

06:39 <Cepheid> Hum, that just leaves Casnan City's quests.

06:45 <Cepheid> Cute.  A boss monster that can stun, and it's attack has homing precision that cannot be blocked or dodged.

06:47 <Cepheid> And no way to reduce the effect.

06:47 <ConfusionRift> ...awesome.

06:49 <Cepheid> Let's see if that evasion bonus helps at all.

06:50 <Cepheid> Nope.  Just gonna have to burn through restoratives.

06:51 <Cepheid> One other alternative.

06:54 <Cepheid> There we go.

06:59 <Cepheid> Bah, looks like I'm still missing a few quests somewhere.

06:59 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-aj9mbi.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

06:59 <Cepheid> Oh, I know where they are.

07:06 <Cepheid> Now to find people who's names start with Q, U or Z.

07:09 <Finwe> Quincy, Ulysses and Zachary.

07:10 <Cepheid> Heh.

07:18 <Cepheid> "Pay me 1000 gold and I'll show you a good time." - Woman in a back alley.  *Pays 1000 gold*  *Is shown around town and the two have an extravagant meal at a high-society type restaurant.  It was a really good time!.*

07:21 <Cepheid> Aaaand voila.  Done of all the quests.

07:22 * Ali curls around ConfusionRift

07:22 <Cepheid> Now I just need to find that 1% of the map, and collect one of every item in the game.

07:22 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.

07:22 <Cepheid> Which could prove to be a bit of a problem.

07:23 <Cepheid> As there's 3 quests that provide you with one of two weapons, of which you can *ONLY* obtain through the quests as far as I know.

07:24 <Cepheid> I think, anyway.

07:24 <Cepheid> Yeeeh, it doesn't look like I can buy the others.

07:26 <Cepheid> Hum, .6% map remaining.  It's overworld, exclusively, so..

07:38 <Ali> Man I love finding such amazing legendary weapons like a Kneecapping Missile Launcher

07:41 <ConfusionRift> o_0

07:42 <ConfusionRift> I know it's a prefix, but...

07:43 <ConfusionRift> "I don't think rocket launchers would be great for kneecapping." | What are you talking about? They are great for kneecapping, and THAN SOME.

07:47 <Cepheid> .2% left to go.

07:47 <Cepheid> And it appears there's a bit of an annoyance with it.

07:47 <Cepheid> It considers parts of the map that aren't accessible.

07:47 <Cepheid> There's a radius around the player that is constantly revealed.

07:48 <Cepheid> And the percentage takes into account the area outside the walkable area.

07:49 <Cepheid> Which is pretty much as bad as it sounds.

07:50 <Cepheid> ... Oh.

07:50 <Cepheid> There we go.

07:50 <ConfusionRift> Ah, a systematic middle finger. :P

07:51 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1343826832139939840 I got it.

07:51 <ConfusionRift> Wait... oh no. Not that kinda of map unveiling.

07:52 <Cepheid> Yeah.

07:53 <Cepheid> 225,000 gold, and a couple of artifacts for that.

07:55 <Cepheid> All artifacts acquired and upgraded.

07:55 <Cepheid> All that remains at this point is to find all the Sun Stones.

07:55 <Cepheid> Which are hidden, not surprisingly.

07:56 <Cepheid> By sheer logic and mathematics, there is guaranteed to be exactly 6 of the stones.  One for each legendary weapon for each character.

07:59 <Cepheid> And a metric ton of money.

08:01 <Ali> ConfusionRift, the weapon has a 20% chance of crippling the target's leg

08:01 <Ali> But since its a missle launcher, its most likely to just frag them completely in one hit

08:01 <ConfusionRift> I know I know, but still. :P

08:01 <Ali> So it renders the prefix worthless

08:01 <Ali> Still not the worst

08:02 <ConfusionRift> How about a healing Fat Man?

08:02 <Ali> The most infamous Fallout Legendary ever is the Ghoul Slaying Gamma Gun

08:03 <Ali> Great huh?  A 15% damage increase vs ghouls.  Not bad right?

08:03 <Ali> Well the problem lies with the weapon

08:03 <Ali> See a gamma gun ONLY does radiation damage

08:03 <Ali> ghouls are well....immune to radiation damage

08:03 <ConfusionRift> Which is kinda useless for- yeah, that.

08:04 <Ali> Like was that a brain fart for the devs or what?

08:04 <Cepheid> I've uncovered 100% of the map, and the only chests that remain are in the final dungeon, meaning the sun stones I need are probably also there as well.

08:05 <ConfusionRift> Like finding an "infinite ammo" dart gun. Or an explosive rocket launcher.

08:06 *** Quits: AppleDash (appled@Gladiolus.Rocks) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

08:06 <ConfusionRift> Well, there is a special "infinite ammo" laser pistol. But that, with the full auto barrel makes for great and useless fun. :P

08:09 <ConfusionRift> When you want to cure all illness with pure radiation.

08:10 * ConfusionRift misses tinkering with weapons in FO4.

08:13 <Ali> See medic wasn't a mod that you can find

08:22 * Ali yawns and nibbles on a ConfusionRift ear

08:22 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.

08:25 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-h9av7i.20dc.fhnt.0406.2601.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

08:29 * ConfusionRift is unsure what to play. "I was kinda clearing some of the queue list stuff while I was offline, but not really into it right now."

08:29 <ConfusionRift> Some game I know will take very long to finish... definitely a long time.

08:31 <Cepheid> First a sliding floor puzzle.  Then a "break these things" puzzle.  Now what appears to be a teleport maze.

08:32 <ConfusionRift> And of course, "put this thing with the other thing and the other with this, and that with these, and those for these" puzzles.

08:33 <Cepheid> Though, not much of a teleport maze.

08:33 <Cepheid> They teleport to the portal directly across from them.

08:39 <Cepheid> Apocalypse.  Interesting sounding name for a weapon.

08:39 <Cepheid> Knowing this series, it probably kills me to weild it.

08:40 <Cepheid> Weaker than what I got.

08:43 <Cepheid> Get 3 mcguffins, place them in the mcguffin.

08:44 <ConfusionRift> Ahem. They are called dowhatzers. :P

08:46 <Cepheid> Also widgets, whatszits, doodads, etc.

08:51 <ConfusionRift> Why... why does a mod have to create a type of planet, and also a very specific EPP for said planet conditions? "And then he had nothing but backpacks in his backpack. because they all backpack differently from other backpacks packs."

08:53 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, can't be that- (dies as soon as his toes touch solid ground) -bad.

08:54 <Cepheid> Gotta get all the treasure.  All the chests.

08:59 <Cepheid> Which I'm very close to doing.  95.5%

09:03 <Cepheid> It's nice you think this is a puzzle, Falcom, but... this is easy.

09:04 <Cepheid> Hum, that makes things a bit trickier, but still not a puzzle.

09:15 <Cepheid> For a bunch of guardians guarding the Akashic Records, I expected something a bit stronger.

09:17 <Cepheid> Hum, elevator asking me if I explicitly want to go to this area.  *Saves*

09:19 <ConfusionRift> This calls for a good ol' quick save.

09:20 <Cepheid> According to the map... this says I'm still missing one chest.

09:20 <Cepheid> I could have sworn I got them all here.

09:21 <Cepheid> Interestingly, there is a side effect.  The game acknowledges that there's a treasure chest here somewhere, which means I have SEEN it, I just didn't get to it.

09:23 <Cepheid> Okay.

09:23 <Cepheid> So I've found 99.1% of chests.  That means there are 2 more out there somewhere.

09:24 <Cepheid> I can get an idea as to where they are, since I have explored 100% of the world map, and they are not visible on THAT, so..

09:24 <Cepheid> That means they are hidden in a dungeon somewhere, somewhere I didn't see a chest or explored completely.

09:25 <ConfusionRift> Ain't it grand? When you have to back track to almost all previous locations so you can find this one thing you accidentally overlooked or left behind?

09:25 <ConfusionRift> Well, you're aiming at 100%, so...

09:27 <Cepheid> At least, 100% map, 100% chests, 100% memories, and 100% monsters.  Items, not so much.

09:29 <Cepheid> In any case...

09:29 <Cepheid> Major dungeons, first, in order.

09:35 <Cepheid> Mmm.  It occurs to me that I may have to hack the save to get 100% monsters.

09:35 <ConfusionRift> Guessing you missed an event monster?

09:36 <ConfusionRift> Or maybe a monster doesn't appear because of localization?

09:36 <ConfusionRift> Or maybe because some of the conditions for this monster to show up were met and are now gone.

09:37 <ConfusionRift> You know, the usual middle fingers. (stares at Metroid Prime, TXR3, and SOTN)

09:38 <Cepheid> No.

09:38 <Cepheid> Previous games have locked special bosses behind the difficulty level.

09:39 <ConfusionRift> Aah, the good ol' "you can't have this because you have to play in hard mode.

09:39 <Cepheid> Thus, I'll have to hack the save to the highest difficulty.

09:39 <Cepheid> 'Cause I ain't doing a New Game+.

09:39 * ConfusionRift puts MMZX Advent.

09:40 <ConfusionRift> Wait...

09:42 * ConfusionRift looks at the label of the MRE. "U.S. Government property commercial resale unlawful."

09:42 <ConfusionRift> That is very interesting. :P

09:44 <Cepheid> It's more of a suggestion.

09:45 <ConfusionRift> "It's just a suggestion." | Oh, okay. | "It's not government property." | (laughs)

09:48 <Cepheid> Right, that's the first three major dungeons down, nothing.

09:51 <Cepheid> Honestly I don't mind doing this.

09:51 <Cepheid> Fuels my gold for better killing.

09:52 <ConfusionRift> More blood for the grinder.

09:52 <ConfusionRift> I mean... yes, fuel fro adventuring.

09:52 * ConfusionRift regrets playing The Forest.

09:56 <Cepheid> Though, if I'm being honest, I should be starting from the last dungeon and working my way backwards, because the two chests, I suspect I know what's in them.

09:56 <Cepheid> And they're items I won't find so early on.

10:16 <Cepheid> ... Not the final boss..?

10:28 <Cepheid> Hum.

10:29 <Cepheid> That's... an interesting way to resolve the problem of "which Ys 4 game is canon?"

10:34 <Cepheid> Now, for the tricky part.

10:35 <Cepheid> The next game in the series, in terms of Ys #, is Ys 5.  Which has yet to get a translation.

10:35 <Cepheid> A remake was made for the PS2, but that too never got translated.

10:36 <Cepheid> The original version is for the SNES, which did get an unofficial translation.

10:41 <Cepheid> So, in effect, I'll have to emulate.  No other way to play it.

10:41 <Cepheid> Don't *LIKE* emulating games I don't own, but I know of no way to obtain a legitimate copy of the game, so..

10:45 <ConfusionRift> As far as I see it, these games are out of print and no longer in distribution.

11:43 <ConfusionRift> It really isn't, hence my bother with it, since I play a lot of 2D games.

11:45 <Cepheid> Oh no.  A red-haired traveler will arrive with a sword and bring doom with him.  What else is new?

11:45 <ConfusionRift> That they are red-haired? :P

12:25 <Cepheid> Man, I can see why this game didn't go over well with fans.  It's clunky as hell.  Even the NES Ys games fared better.

12:43 <Cepheid> Hum.  They at least had the decency to make sprites that reflect that he is always right-handed.

12:44 <ConfusionRift> Heh.

12:48 <Cyan_Spark> Razor the investor

12:50 <Cepheid> Hum.  11,000 gold for the next weapon tier... I can get that with a bit of work.  But first, I got some chores I was asked to do, and I'd like to get them done now rather than later.

14:39 <Cyan_Spark> wot is this sideways trading, RazorSharpFang?

14:39 <RazorSharpFang> Market is just not happy with Vale it seems. Got a solid 4% dividend still.

14:39 <RazorSharpFang> Cyan_Spark, as it happens, because I'm an options seller, I will still profit if stocks trade sideways.

18:18 <Cepheid> Interesting observation.  After the events of Ys, Adol's name is known, as an adventurer, but not for finding Ys or anything like that.  The most the games that chronologically follow Ys 1 and Ys 2 early on, suggest that he's more known for getting rid of the Thunderwall around Esteria.  A wall of intense storms that prevented people from reaching Esteria, and prevented people from LEAVING Esteria.

18:20 <Cepheid> So, finding the ancient lost land of Ys, or killing a demon god, that's not what he's initially known for.  Nah, he's known for getting rid of a barrier that spontaneously appeared and cut off an entire landmass.

21:55 <Starlight_Glimmer> Can I just say that these Corona regulations are getting a bit ridiculous? So apparently standing outside your door with a glass of sparkling wine is now illegal. I assume in regions with open container laws this might not sound as bad, but that's basically tradition here at New Years Eve. Meeting the neighbors? Sure, I can get behind that, but we're once again beyond common sense, just

21:55 <Starlight_Glimmer> like at the beginning of the year when resting for a moment on a park bench was suddenly illegal. In Munich you can't even step outside your door.

23:56 <Finwe> Macaroni in Mornay sauce?

23:56 <Schism> Indeed.

23:56 <Schism> With extra ham.

23:58 <Finwe> I've actually never had macaroni and cheese.

23:58 <Finwe> I think it's mostly British thing hereabouts.

23:59 <Finwe> Although it is called macaroni cheese there.

23:59 <Schism> Well, the recipe is somewhat simple.  Create a mornay sauce with extra cheddar and a bit of parmesan, as well as a bit of mustard powder if you want; cook some macaroni noodles in it until al dente; add ham, tomatoes, or whatever the heck else you want, and serve piping hot.
