00:00 <Schism> Garlic tends to be helpful too. o3o
00:01 <Schism> Mind, add the cheese to the sauce mornay and noodles once the latter are cooked.
00:01 <Schism> Also tasty therein: broccoli. o3o
00:02 <Finwe> Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management states, that "The macaroni, (which should be "tender but perfectly firm, no part being allowed to melt, and the form entirely preserved" – lest one be tempted to cook it for so long it actually disintegrated) is then topped with more cheese, pepper, and breadcrumbs, before receiving a final dose of melted butter for good measure and being placed before a
00:03 <Finwe> "bright fire" to brown the crumbs, or grilled with a salamander broiler."
00:03 * Schism nods. "The breadcrumbs are an optional addition, though they are quite a good one."
00:05 <Finwe> The 14th century Forme of Cury, on the other hoof, "Take and make a thynne foyle of dowh. and kerve it on pieces, and cast hem on boiling water & seeþ it well. take cheese and grate it and butter cast bynethen and above as losyns. and serue forth."
00:05 <Schism> Perfectly sensible as well.
00:07 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)
00:07 <Finwe> Mr PinkieShy.
00:07 * Finwe doffs his hat.
00:07 <Finwe> Losyns was obviously a dish not entirely unlike lasagne.
00:08 <Schism> "Take flour of paynedemayn and make therof past with water, and make therof thynne foyles as paper with a roller; drye it harde and seeth it in broth."
00:10 <Finwe> So indeed sayeth recipe 89 in the very same book.
00:10 <Finwe> "Take gode broth and do in an erthen pot, take flour of payndemayn and make þerof past with water, and make þerof thynne foyles as paper with a roller, drye it harde and seeþ it in broth. Take Chese ruayn grated and lay it in disshes with powdour douce, and lay þeron loseyns isode as hoole as þou myȝt, and above powdour and chese; and so twyse or thryse, & serue it forth."
00:11 <Schism> And of course, serve on a trencher. o3o
00:12 <Finwe> " A dish like this would most likely have been served at the end of a feast, as it was believed that cheese closed off the stomach and forced the food in the stomach to digest faster"
00:13 <Schism> Lying down after a meal full of cheese is a good way to digest it faster. o3o
00:22 <Schism> Cepheid: Here, have a cursed image. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EqZ0tIOVgAA8mh1?format=jpg&name=large
00:23 <Finwe> Hmm, it's almost snowing.
00:23 * Finwe throws a somewhat slushy snowball at Angeline.
00:23 * Angeline starts to cry.
00:25 <Schism> Hmm. Yes, this is about right. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EqU9ebsXIA0lgga?format=jpg&name=900x900
00:28 <Finwe> Starting the third Discworld novel before going to bed might be a good idea.
00:28 * Finwe fetches his Equal Rites.
00:28 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
00:28 <Finwe> !lullaby
00:28 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed
00:28 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby
00:28 <Schism> Equal Rites is excellent! Have a good read.
00:28 <Finwe> !shoo
00:28 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"
00:29 <Finwe> Schism: Now that I have them all, I thought I'd read them in the order they were published.
00:29 <Schism> I would say that Equal Rites is where the Discworld _really_ began. The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic were all well and good, but more parody than anything else.
00:29 <Finwe> I've already done The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic.
00:30 <Finwe> The fourth one is the one I actually read first.
00:30 <Schism> Mort is good too. o3o
00:31 <Finwe> It's was the first book in Death Trilogy compilation, a book I bought from Waterstones in Edinburgh.
00:31 <Finwe> That was sixteen years ago. o3o
00:32 <Schism> Mort, Reaper Man, and Soul Music?
00:33 <Finwe> Yup.
00:34 <Schism> A fine selection. Though Hogfather was also fantastic.
00:34 <Schism> I'll admit, I'm torn between whether I prefer Soul Music, or Thief of Time.
00:34 <Finwe> https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/264824185699_/Death-Trilogy-Mort-Reaper-Man.jpg
00:35 <Finwe> That's the one.
00:35 <Finwe> I also have City Watch Trilogy.
00:36 <Finwe> consisting of Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms and Feet of Clay.
00:36 <Schism> Now, that one feels more like a trilogy, as it really shows off Vimes' early character growth.
00:37 * Finwe nodnods.
00:38 * Schism randomly flips through a list of Abominations unto Nuggan. "Ah, yes. Chocolate, mixed fabric, and the colour blue."
00:41 <Finwe> Abomination 6330: Mechanical devices for the measuring of time
00:41 <Finwe> Abomination 6668: Hatboxes of an un-natural shape
00:42 <Finwe> Abomination 6547: (subsection iv) Shoehorns and corn plasters
00:43 <Schism> Shirts with six buttons, and of course, how could we forget the smell of beets?
00:43 <Schism> "Can't say I'm too fond of them myself, but beets are practically all that grow here!"
00:44 <Finwe> Abomination 6573: (subsection; natural processes) Any preparation, cream, unguent, distillation or powder that interferes with the natural course of such inflictions deemed of penitential value, as Nuggan, in His mercy, sees fit to bless his people with
00:44 <Schism> Unsurprising that Nuggan was the god of bureaucracy.
00:45 <Finwe> Right, he was the state god of Borogravia.
00:45 <Schism> L'etat, c'est moi, and so sort those paperclips right away you horrible person.
00:47 <Schism> Dwarfs, too. So of course, the Dwarfs, being a sensible and level-headed sort, simply looked at which way the wind was blowing, nodded to themselves, and quietly left.
00:47 <Schism> "In appearance, Nuggan is a plump but small man with a fussy moustache. The more experienced gods, such as Offler, consider that no god should wear a little fussy moustache like that."
00:48 <Schism> Meanwhile, it is nice that Anoia has such a devoted following near the end of the series.
00:52 * Angeline continues to cry. Slush drips off her face.
00:54 * Schism mops up Angeline's face with a warm towel, and offers a hot buttered rum.

04:26 <Schism> "Give me more treats."
04:26 <Cepheid> It's an eldritch horror, yes, but it's still a feline. It can't speak English.
04:28 <Schism> Oh well. I should take a nap for a few hours... tomorrow is my Friday, and I have callbacks to do.
04:28 <Schism> Including one elderly gentleman who refuses to accept reality.
04:28 <Schism> And 50 individual orders.
04:43 <Cepheid> Sometimes I wonder if cats have any functional awareness of their own tail. I mean, Spitfire goes to hide, but fails to keep his tail under control, and so it sticks out from the hiding spot and is quite visible.

09:25 <Golden> Easily
09:36 * Golden flops feeling like a failure.

10:09 * Dappled enjoys old anime.
10:12 * ConfusionRift escorts an NPC, and looks in fright as they land in a large patch of radioactive substance. "Wait, no! Watch out!!! You could-!" The NPC just stands there, chillin', not taking damage. ".........excuuuuse me?!"
10:13 * Dappled prefers that to failing escort missions cause the devs can't program less than completely dumb npcs.
10:14 <ConfusionRift> And then a monster baps them, and they die.
10:14 <Dappled> Naturally.
10:17 <Cepheid> Whelp, Khezu's back in Rise.
10:18 <ConfusionRift> The good thing is that if the NPC finds it can't follow you directly, they will teleport to your position. And they seem to be immune to block/environmental damage. Problems? Most can't defend themselves, they still take a good hit from enemy damage of any kind, they're mostly hydrophobe and end up teleporting to you or stand still if there's a large enough body of water, and (NATURALLY) they run slower than you at full speed.
10:18 <ConfusionRift> Huzzah! It's been years since Khezu.
10:19 <ConfusionRift> Gotta have some sort of bat wyvern. :P
10:19 <Dappled> Is Khezu good?
10:19 * ConfusionRift just thought of that for a second.
10:19 <ConfusionRift> There IS always some sort of bat wyvern!
10:20 <Dappled> Narga is friendshaped.
10:21 <ConfusionRift> No. Nargakuga is void cat shaped, with the same hissy fit as well. :P

10:23 <Cepheid> Khezu is...
10:23 <Cepheid> He's a screechy boi.
10:23 <ConfusionRift> *girl.
10:23 <Cepheid> Also a bit shocking to deal with.
10:23 <Cepheid> Right, right.
10:23 <Dappled> Anyword on if they are keeping the world skill system or going back to the old style?
10:24 <ConfusionRift> Seeing how they seem to be using some of the World mechanics, they might stick to the same skill system.
10:24 * Dappled really hopes so.
10:25 <Cepheid> No indication as of yet.
10:25 <Cepheid> But, as ConfusionRift stated, they are keeping the World weapon mechanics in terms of movement, attacks and the like.
10:25 <Cepheid> Combined with a modified version of the Hunter Arts system from GenU.
10:26 * Dappled is going to flop off to bed, just had an 11 hour day followed by a 9 hour day. You all have a good day.
10:26 <Cepheid> G'night.
10:26 <Cepheid> Ultimately, we'll likely find out about the skill system and such sometime in January.
10:26 <Cepheid> As Capcom is releasing a demo then.
10:27 <Cepheid> At which point we'll get a better look at the UI and so on.
10:27 <ConfusionRift> Laters, and have a good one, Dappled!
10:31 <ConfusionRift> I'm sure the one in the tech demos are a placeholder, but would not be surprised if they kept it. gives it a bit of classic style look.
10:35 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
10:36 <Cepheid> You know, something occurred to me based on all the videos I've seen. *Double checks*
10:36 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?
10:36 <Cepheid> Oh, I was mistaken.
10:36 <Cepheid> For some reason, I thought "I haven't seen the clock on the UI yet."
10:37 <Cepheid> It's definitely there, though.
10:37 <ConfusionRift> Likely either the old day/night/timer clock.
10:38 <ConfusionRift> Or something similar.
10:38 <ConfusionRift> I'm behind, so I dunno.
10:40 <Cepheid> It's a new one.
10:40 <Cepheid> Diamond-shaped, this time. Available time is colored red.
10:41 <ConfusionRift> Yeah. They're not gonna give you infinite time. Though, I would suspect if they did, they would ramp up the difficulty, because screw everyone. :P
10:43 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

10:47 <ConfusionRift> o_0
10:47 <Cepheid> It's nothing serious.
10:47 <Cepheid> Well. Sort of.
10:48 <Cepheid> I shouldn't do anything that requires focus or attention within at least one hour of taking the medication.

11:10 * Cepheid researches the Truman Show. Keeps hearing about it, but isn't sure of what it is.
11:10 <ConfusionRift> It's a movie about a man who was born and raised what is basically a massive reality TV show, which was his whole life.
11:12 <Cepheid> So, what, what Trump wishes his life were like?
11:12 <ConfusionRift> he believed for the longest time that it was his life, which ultimately was him inside a large set, full of actors who acted as normal people. These included his "parents".
11:14 <ConfusionRift> Eventually, he started noticing odd things that led to him figuring out that everything and everyone was just part of a popular reality TV show that everyone (including said actors) were watching.

11:38 <Cepheid> If I know the person or group is knowingly being comedic, I won't take offense to the jokes, even if they make light of groups and individuals I am a part of, so long as the connotation or tone in the jokes do not indicate active maliciousness or pejorativeness.
11:39 <Cepheid> Speaking of offensive stuff, there's a hilarious detail about being Canadian.
11:39 <Cepheid> For some reason, we simply don't seem to exist according to the people who make language filters and such.
11:40 <ConfusionRift> You know what I do when I find something offensive or that doesn't tickle my fancy? I just waaaalk away from it. It's not hard. But it seems that even I have to be hand held.
11:40 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
11:41 <Cepheid> But yeah, go check out MH:World and type in "Hoser." It's a derogatory Canadian slang term for idiot/asshole/etc. It typically(depending on who you ask) holds a harsher connotation than those terms, though. You can still type it in MH:World.
11:42 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, you can't type "SA" for Switch Axe, for some reason.
11:42 <Cepheid> Also can't say [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [EXTREMELY REDACTED] for obvious reasons, because of their clear, negative, derogatory implications.
11:43 <ConfusionRift> It still kills me that there's a mass of people who don't know what the ESRB is.
11:43 <Cepheid> Or any variant of it.
11:44 * ConfusionRift sighs. and slowly nods.
11:44 <Cepheid> Such as the EU or Japanese variations on it.
11:44 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang, does Australia have something akin to the ESRB?
11:44 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the ESRB is a bit of a tricky thing in Canada. We utilize it, but it doesn't quite pan out according to our morals and such.
11:44 <ConfusionRift> eerm, I'm sure they follow the PAL subdivision.
11:45 <Cepheid> 'Cause for example, movies that get an R rating in the US may actually get a 14A rating here in Canada.
11:45 * Finwe noms on Ali's capital in Civ VI.
11:45 <Cepheid> That is, 14 years of age or older with adult accompanyment.
11:46 <Cepheid> So there's some clear differences in what we consider objectionable up here, compared to what is objectionable in the US.
11:46 <ConfusionRift> We have become hyper-offended.
11:46 <Cepheid> I'd have to go through the ratings systems and such to figure out the exact differences, but yeah. Some games that get M ratings in the US don't necessarily make sense for having M ratings up here.
11:47 <Cepheid> But since we utilize the ESRB, we are subject to the sensitivities of the US.
11:48 <Cepheid> I kind of wonder how the ESRB responds to jokes like what I saw in Ys Celceta yesterday.
11:48 <Cepheid> In the primary city, Casnan, there's a "back alley" behind the local inn.
11:49 <Cepheid> There's a woman who stands back there, dressed... Eehh. A mix of normal for the environment and some provacativeness.
11:49 <Cepheid> Throughout the game, she constantly talks about giving the player a good time, for a decent price. Eventually, you can accept the offer and pay 1,000 gold.
11:49 <Cepheid> The text after that?
11:50 <Cepheid> "She shows you around town, and you then she takes you out for an extravagant meal. It was a good time!"
11:50 <Cepheid> She was a tour guide.
11:50 <Cepheid> The other characters even comment on it. "Wait, what? You mean she was a tour guide all this time? She must know how this all looks..."
11:51 <ConfusionRift> Should always look the part. :P
11:52 <Cepheid> I can just see the person reviewing that scene for the ESRB. "So, we can pay the pro- .... Wait. What?" *Cold stare at Falcom.*
11:52 <Cepheid> "You win this round."
11:52 <ConfusionRift> Hey, if at the end of the day nothing explicit happened, they can't claim anything. :P
11:52 <Cepheid> Yeah, but it must still be annoying for them.
11:53 * Ali grumps on Finwe cause this game is not going as expected.
11:53 <ConfusionRift> And then we got the hidden stuff, that not even ESRB was able to review.
11:54 <Cepheid> If there was anything hidden or objectionable in Ys: Memories of Celceta, even I could not find it.
11:54 <Cepheid> It seems unlikely, as it's Ys.
11:54 <Cepheid> If anything, a lot of jokes are made at Adol's expense with regards to his appearance.
11:55 <Cepheid> That he has fiery-red hair, that he's lean and not at all muscular or strong-looking, or even look like he's an adventurer or anything of the sort. Quite a few male and female characters took shots at his appearance in Celceta.
11:56 * ConfusionRift laughs. "Okay, Nuru's dialogue in the avian temple is basically the Star Wars sand rant." :P
11:56 <ConfusionRift> Completely forgot about it.
11:57 <Cepheid> And, I'm not sure if it started with Ys 4, but there seems to be a recurring event that happens in Celceta and Ys 5.
11:57 <Cepheid> Adol shows up in a village or town, and immediately gets accosted by guard for some reason.
11:57 <Cepheid> Or there's something in the town or village that puts the people at odds with Adol.
11:58 <Cepheid> In 5, the guard accosting starts literally RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME. Right when he gets off the boat. There's also a village that has a prophecy regarding a red-haired adventurer carrying a sword.
12:02 <Cepheid> Can't wait to see what Ark of Napishtim brings.
12:02 <Cepheid> Interestingly, Ark comes after Ys VIII, so if I wanted to start Ys VIII now, I could. I'm chronologically caught up for doing so.
12:03 <Cepheid> Sort of. I haven't finished Ys V, yet. But I'm pretty much at the end.
12:09 <Cepheid> Ugh, finally.
12:09 <Cepheid> Danged syndrome wore off completely.

12:16 <Cepheid> Hum, I'll need to plug in my laptop for this.
12:18 <ConfusionRift> "I. Hate. Fire. You have to AVOID it! You can't sstab it! You can't shoot it! You just have to sskulk around and hope it doesn't notice you."
12:18 * Cepheid also applies laptop cooling fan.
12:18 <Cepheid> It'll make the build go a bit quicker. Especially with the way Intel likes to really throttle it's hardware under various conditions.
12:19 <ConfusionRift> Build? Guessing putting something together?
12:20 <Cepheid> Compiling SNES9x for my laptop.
12:20 <Cepheid> The problem is that compilation is one of the few things that fully-loads this laptop, and, well..
12:20 * Lumindia_ boops Ceph
12:20 <Cepheid> Under full load, the CPU hits 100C.
12:20 <Cepheid> On all cores.
12:20 <Cepheid> Even with this cooling pad, it still reaches about 95C.
12:21 <Cepheid> But at least at that point, the thermal throttling doesn't occur as aggressively.
12:21 <Cepheid> Normal configuration with no cooling pad, the throttling brings the CPU down to less than 1GHz in the worst case.
12:21 <Cepheid> With this little pad, the CPU sticks around 3GHz.
12:22 <ConfusionRift> Well, it's a laptop. Not exactly built for this sort of thing. Also... that's really toasty. Not surprised it hits such a nasty thermal throttle.
12:22 <Cepheid> Apparently this is an Intel thing, now.
12:22 <Cepheid> Basically, the CPUs they design have internal circuitry that allows the CPU to run as hot as it can go, but then throttles back to ensure no damage occurs.
12:25 <ConfusionRift> To my understanding, it's been the case for a long time. Except, it probably used to fall under thermal throttle quicker, BSOD, or shut itself off on the worst cases. But usually, at that point, the damage is done.
12:26 <Cepheid> In this case, the circuitry allows for it to run at maximum temperature by ramping up the cores as far as they can go, without killing the CPU, BSOD, or forcing a thermal shutdown.
12:27 <Cepheid> Obviously, extended runtime at these temperatures means that throttling eventually has to happen, so it does
12:27 <Cepheid> It's pretty apparent, especially when the laptop itself uses a terrible cooling system.
12:30 <Cepheid> ... Right, this cable be annoying me, so let's see if I can get this controller paired with my laptop via bluetooth.
12:31 <Cepheid> There we go.
12:32 <Cepheid> ... Connects, but then... immediately shuts off? What?
12:34 <Finwe> Cepheid: Precisely.
12:35 <Cepheid> Supposedly it's an autosuspend thing.
12:35 <Finwe> I tried connecting my computers over BT earlier today, as well as my phone to the computers, with no notable success.
12:36 <Finwe> There is a brief connection, but not long enough to transfer files or anything.
12:37 <Cepheid> I would not be surprised if the PS4 upstairs is interfering.
12:38 * Schism wakes up. "ConfusionRift: That quote about fire, I know it, but I don't remember where it's from."
12:40 * Finwe hats on Schism.
12:45 * Cepheid sighs.
12:47 <Cepheid> Right, theory time: It's the bluetooth adapter in the laptop. So, use external USB adapter.
12:49 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: if you have the controller still paired to the PS4, it's likely. Then again, it would have connected to it as soon as you turned the controller on.
12:50 <ConfusionRift> Schism: It happens in the avian temple artifact mission, when going through the fire path. Nuru expresses her disdain for fire. :P
12:51 <ConfusionRift> I completely forgot of it.
12:52 <Schism> Ah right. :3
12:52 <Ali> Gah, its 8am, screw you civ
12:53 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-gk28m9.4nua.5fca.1702.2600.IP) (Quit: Leaving)
12:54 <Cepheid> Well, confirmed it's not the bluetooth adapter.
12:55 <ConfusionRift> Maybe resetting the controller?
12:59 <Cepheid> ... Apparently it needed the cable to do proper pairing.
13:00 <Cepheid> ... Or not.
13:00 <Cepheid> Maybe it's battery level is just too low, or something. Fine.
13:01 <Cepheid> Man, I am glad that Linux allows for disabling the light on the controller.
13:04 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
13:21 <Finwe> Miss Angeline.
13:21 * Finwe doffs his hat.
13:22 * Angeline cries at Finwe for hitting her with a slushball earlier.
13:22 * Finwe patpats an Angeline.
13:22 * Angeline is not assuaged by pats.
13:22 <ConfusionRift> Hmm. (checks DS4) Oh, I can turn it off from here. Alas... (sits next to Cepheid, and sets it to MAX, on the most obnoxious color as well) :P
13:40 <ConfusionRift> Because... the color is also an option. :P (laughs maniacally)
13:41 * Finwe patpatsnuggles the Angeline.
13:49 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, I think so, because we do get ratings for things.
13:52 * ConfusionRift ate some flan. It was really good. But doesn't know why he feels like his having acid reflex. He has a suspicion... and checks to verify.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> I knew that taste was familiar. That was coconut rum.
14:04 <Cepheid> You don't like coconut rum?
14:05 <ConfusionRift> I didn't know it had alcohol.
14:05 * Cepheid wikis up Ys V. Got the gist of the story despite it's... spotty translation, which is weird coming from Aeon Genesis. Maybe the game is just spotty in general, given it's... "I don't know what I'm doing" quality to it.
14:06 <Cepheid> ... And the Wikis aren't very clear on it.
14:07 <Cepheid> In fact, the Wikis don't even seem to cover the plot at all.
14:07 <Cepheid> Just the basic gist of the game. "Adol catches wind of the Lost City of Kefin and goes to figure out the mystery."
14:07 <Cepheid> That's it.
14:08 <Cepheid> So, what I got from it is basically what I have to work with.
14:11 <Cepheid> So, from here, I can either continue with moving onto the next game, release-wise, which would be Ys 6. Or I can skip and go to Ys 8, doing chronological order.
14:12 <Cepheid> Given that Ys 6 is where the Oath of Felghana and Origins engine originated from, I'm actually inclined to start with it, since I liked that engine.
14:14 <Cepheid> "I, on the other hand, would argue that all the Black man did was honor a White man's request by delivering the goods faster than Amazon Prime." - Quite possibly the best thing I've read from Kotaku, in regards to a certain recent Twisted Tea incident.
14:16 * ConfusionRift sighs.
14:16 <Cepheid> It's annoying that it happened, I won't lie. But the end-result was worth it.
14:17 <ConfusionRift> The problem is that it became a thing fast, and it overshadowed other incidents that happened around that time.
14:18 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
14:18 <ConfusionRift> And because of how fast it became viral, it got covered EVERYWHERE.
14:19 <ConfusionRift> Admittedly, the end result of the incident was expected... and approved.
14:19 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mkiGMtbrPM Here. Have something that'll distract you.
14:19 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about WORLD ORDER "HAVE A NICE DAY"
14:19 <Finwe> !flip
14:19 * DerpyBot flips a muffin
14:19 * DerpyBot catches the muffin with her hoof, correct side up
14:20 <ConfusionRift> Hmm... this looks familiar. Maybe you posted it before, or saw it somewhere.
14:21 <Cepheid> I am pretty sure I posted it before.
14:24 * ConfusionRift smiles a bit.
14:25 <Cepheid> Hum. Alas, I'll have to use my PC for the next Ys game, regardless of which one it is.
14:25 <Cepheid> Pretty sure Ys 8 won't run on this laptop AT ALL.
14:25 <Cepheid> And I'm also pretty sure Ys 6 won't work right under Wine.
14:26 <ConfusionRift> Which system?
14:26 <Cepheid> PC for both.
14:26 <ConfusionRift> Oooh...
14:27 <Cepheid> Wine is software that allows for running Windows applications under Linux, but the last time I tried using it for one of the Ark engine games, it didn't play them right.
14:27 * ConfusionRift sees a screenshot. "Yep! Need something hefty."
14:27 <Cepheid> Still, I suppose I could give it a try with the most recent version of Wine and DXVK. As for Ys 8, it's PC/PS4/XBox/Switch, so yeah.
14:27 <Cepheid> A somewhat hefty system is needed to run it.
14:28 <Cepheid> Whelp, like I said, might as well give it a quick try.
14:34 <Cyan_Spark> Razor the investor
14:35 * Cyan_Spark boopboopboopboops
14:35 <RazorSharpFang> Another day, another red day for Vale?
14:36 <Cepheid> Ah, the issue is a missing codec.
14:36 <Cyan_Spark> Oh yes
14:36 <Cyan_Spark> Empty
14:36 <Cyan_Spark> Mpty
14:37 <Cyan_Spark> M ty
14:37 <Cyan_Spark> MT is currently trading at 23.51, sideways
14:37 <RazorSharpFang> Really makes you think.
14:37 <Cyan_Spark> Oh wait never mind, it jumped from yesterday
14:38 <Cyan_Spark> By 50¢ or so
14:38 <Cyan_Spark> I'm in the UK Market now
14:38 <Cyan_Spark> Slightly different trading hours
14:38 <ConfusionRift> A codec. Well, it normally is, when something like that breaks to pieces very specifically.
14:38 <RazorSharpFang> Slightly different? Aren't they a whole 16 hours behind?
14:39 <Cyan_Spark> Trading starts 6.5 hours earlier than the US Market
14:39 <Cyan_Spark> And ends 2 hours after the US Market opens
14:39 <RazorSharpFang> Interesting.
14:40 <Cyan_Spark> I put an eye-watering amount of money into a stock I liked
14:40 <Cyan_Spark> It then proceeded to scrape against the mud for a bit, but is now up
14:40 <Cyan_Spark> so imagine me vibing, but looking all disheveled and stressed out
14:41 <RazorSharpFang> Nice.
14:42 <Cyan_Spark> idk what's gonna happen for the next... 2 hours
14:43 <Cepheid> Turns out the codec isn't installed when wine is installed, because for some reason the multilib packages are missing in the official repositories.
14:43 <Cyan_Spark> Oh and UK Market information is /always/ delayed by no less than 15 minutes
14:43 <Cyan_Spark> So that's annoying
14:43 <RazorSharpFang> Oh? You can't pay for real-time data?
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> I pay a monthly subscription to my broker for real-time data-access.
14:45 <Cyan_Spark> Help me check UK stocks plis
14:46 * Cepheid looks at all the required packages to build for this one set of plugins.
14:46 <RazorSharpFang> I know nothing about the UK market.
14:46 <Cepheid> Right, I'm gonna go use this time to take a shower.
14:47 <Cyan_Spark> I know, isn't that great?
14:47 <Cyan_Spark> It's not as memey, but there are mirroring trends
14:50 <RazorSharpFang> I have stocks in Virgin Money (best name)
15:05 <Cepheid> ... For the love of-

23:07 <LibrarianofHope> i kinda own the business im in, so shcedule is flexible
23:07 <LibrarianofHope> just costed me my sanity
23:07 <LibrarianofHope> not that i used it much
23:08 <Schism> Eh. I'm not put out by the idea of working for a few hours, just to help out the morning shift a little, but for criminy's sake.
23:08 <Finwe> "$500 might just cover the expenses for making myself available."
23:08 <LibrarianofHope> for 500 bucks im in
23:09 <Finwe> Plus the usual salary for the hours, of course.
23:10 <Finwe> "Never! The Indians are our friends!"
23:12 <Finwe> … until Gandhi's aggression has reached zero, and as there is no check for this special case, the usual subtraction of one will be made and the value will flip to maximum instead of -1 and chaos will ensue.
23:13 <Finwe> The curiosities of Civilization I.
23:13 <LibrarianofHope> yeah, thats why Gandhi goes nuclear
23:13 * Finwe noms on Ali's tech tree in Civilization VI.
23:13 * Schism offers Finwe a bowl of pea soup with pancakes, the latter with a tangy jam.
23:13 <LibrarianofHope> i could go for some form of soup
23:14 <Finwe> Raspberry jam or applesauce are the canonical choices.
23:14 <LibrarianofHope> hot and sour soup sounds nice
23:14 <Finwe> Some people put strawberry jam on their pancakes, but that's an abomination, at least unto me.
23:14 <Starlight_Glimmer> Pancake soup is a thing. I still can't believe how somebody could do that to perfectly good pancakes.
23:14 <LibrarianofHope> polish people have strawberry soup
23:14 <Schism> What of apricot jam?
23:15 <Finwe> No, no, nononono, no.
23:15 <LibrarianofHope> pancake soup
23:15 <Schism> Whyever not, Finwe?
23:15 <LibrarianofHope> so batter in a bowl?
23:15 <Schism> Pancake soup: https://www.carolinescooking.com/german-pancake-soup/
23:15 <LibrarianofHope> or like a flan?
23:16 <LibrarianofHope> ahh
23:16 <Finwe> Apricots aren't commonly available, and the same applies to apricot jam.
23:16 <LibrarianofHope> pancake ramen would make a bit more sense
23:16 <Starlight_Glimmer> I can get behind the idea of jam on a pancake, though I prefer baked apple slices or vanilla ice cream.
23:16 <Finwe> I might have seen apricot marmalade some time.
23:16 <Schism> Finwe: Ah, I suppose that's fair. o3o The marmalade is good too.
23:17 <LibrarianofHope> apricot
23:17 <LibrarianofHope> a peach?
23:17 <Finwe> Ah, I see that Dutch apricot jam is indeed imported to Finland.
23:18 <Schism> Similar to a peach.
23:19 <Schism> Pea soup and pancakes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pea_soup#/media/File:Hernekeitto.jpg
23:19 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'd honestly surprise me if it weren't Finwe. I had apricot jam just yesterday, but that glass was home made.
23:20 <Finwe> Schism: Ah, the traditional Thursday meal in the Finnish army.
23:20 <Finwe> Glass?
23:20 <Finwe> I haven't had any glass in ages.
23:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> As in a glass container.
23:21 <Finwe> Glass in this case being the Swedish spelling of French "glace".
23:22 <Finwe> What could be called "ice cream" in English by some.
23:22 * Finwe boops Starlight_Glimmer.
23:22 <Finwe> !starlight time
23:22 * Finwe bounces around in front of Starlight_Glimmer.
23:22 <Finwe> Starlight time! Starlight time!
23:23 <Finwe> o3o
23:29 <Schism> Of course, there are those people who would eat pea soup without mustard.
23:34 <Finwe> If I cook pea soup, I usually season it with mustard.
23:34 <Schism> Alas, my brother cares not for mustard.
23:36 <Schism> o3o https://www.discworldemporium.com/jewellery/174--i-ate-nt-dead-necklace
23:36 <Finwe> Peas, carrots, onion, water, peppercorn and vegetable stock.
23:36 <Schism> Indeed.
23:37 <Finwe> And smoked ham, bacon or something similar, if you like your pea soup with meat.
23:38 <Schism> As we do. We had that leftover ham hock, and of course we saved the bone.
23:39 <Schism> Because if you're going to make stock, you can use vegetable, or you can make it with an actual bone. o3o
23:39 <Schism> Finwe: Or what type of meat you prefer, of course. https://www.discworldemporium.com/405-thickbox_default/gimlet-s-hole-food-delicatessen-apron.jpg

23:43 <Finwe> I would not use rat in pea soup, be it free-range or not.
23:43 <Schism> Well, you're not a dwarf.
