00:01 <Schism> Cepheid, I am mildly upset tonight.

00:01 * Schism hugs the Lumin and the Cephy, though. Also provides a cup of tea to the Ali, as she's already snugged her.

00:01 * Ali sips tea

00:02 <Cepheid> So I see.

00:05 <Schism> This is not complicated.  This is basically conflict resolution 101.

00:06 <Schism> Assess the issue, offer steps, suggest what steps the parties can take, reassess.

00:06 <Schism> Rather, first offer steps you can take, then offer those the other parties can.

00:09 * Dappled wriggles.

00:10 * Dappled played the hollow knight. Didn't die till he met hornet the first time.

00:14 <Cepheid> Not bad.

00:15 <Cepheid> I'll be more impressed if you pass a certain area late in the game without dying or taking any hits at all.

00:15 <Dappled> Oh that's not going to happen. I take hits a lot.

00:15 <Cepheid> It's less hits from enemies and more from environmental stuff.

00:15 <Cepheid> A bit different.

00:15 * Dappled takes those too.

00:15 <Dappled> Spikes are friend shape and need hugs.

00:15 <Cepheid> Then good luck with that place when you get to it.

00:16 <Cepheid> You have to go through it to get the true ending, so...

00:16 * Dappled has no hints aside from the map in game.

00:16 <Cepheid> Yep.

00:17 <Cepheid> I need to play through that game again, and see about actually finishing it and doing all the DLC.

00:19 <Cepheid> ...?

00:19 * Dappled only knows a bit because he's read text posts from people he follows for other reasons, but that's not going to help me find my way around or anything.

00:19 * Schism loads up Hades, sees Microsoft VC Redist for the millionth time. Groans.

00:19 <Cepheid> BBC has decided to stop broadcasting on Rogers.

00:19 <Dappled> Isn't it your favorite, Schism?

00:19 <Cepheid> It takes all of 15-30 seconds.

00:19 <Schism> No, I've not played it yet.

00:20 * Dappled meant Microsoft VC Redist.

00:20 <Schism> Oh, that I've played over and over again.

00:21 <Cepheid> I don't entirely know why it needs to be installed over and over.  There should be a way to check if it's already installed programmatically, but for some reason Valve doesn't seem to check for it.

00:21 <Schism> Individual distros which have their own idiosyncracies, I'd bet.

00:23 <Schism> "God Mode: Turn it on if you really want to just enjoy the story, or for any other reason."

00:24 * Dappled likes having that option but can never bring himself to turn it on.

00:24 <Lumindia> I like when games don't make it seem like optiopns like that are cheating

00:24 <Lumindia> like how Celeste calls it 'assist mode'

00:24 * Dappled stares at normal difficulty. Must be able to beat games on normal. Easy mode? I feel insulted and even though I want to continue, I can't bring myself to take that option.

00:25 <Lumindia> Dappled: Doom Eternal is kicking my butt on Ultra-Violence

00:25 <Lumindia> especially the new DLC

00:25 <Lumindia> The Ancient Gods does NOT *yay* around

00:25 <Dappled> Isn't that the one that makes you play through the game on one life?

00:25 * Dappled forgets Doom Difficulty modes.

00:25 <Lumindia> no, that's Ultra-Nightmare

00:26 <Lumindia> Ultra-Violence is the 'hard' mode of the game

00:26 <Dappled> Also I never beat normal Doom Eternal.

00:26 <Lumindia> Nightmare is the "Super Hard"

00:26 <Lumindia> and Ultra-Nightmare is "hardcore"

00:26 <Lumindia> "Hurt Me Plenty" is normal mode

00:27 <Cepheid> I usually play on hard.

00:27 <Lumindia> Fun Fact: "Nightmare" was added as a joke difficulty IIRC

00:27 <Lumindia> monsters are twice as fast, projectiles move faster as well, and monsters randomly respawn after being slain if they leave a corpse behind

00:27 <Cepheid> It was, yes.

00:27 <Lumindia> but you get 50% more from ammo pickups

00:27 <Lumindia> ever deal with a horde of turbopinkies?

00:27 <Cepheid> And it's 2x pickups.

00:27 <Lumindia> I thought it was only 50% more

00:27 <Cepheid> Nope, 100%.

00:29 <Lumindia> huh, it is 100% more

00:29 <Cepheid> But yes, it was a joke mode.  The devs never expected people to actually beat it.

00:29 <Lumindia> https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Skill_level

00:31 <Cepheid> ... That page is basically word-for-word a copy of doomwiki's difficulty page.

00:31 *** Quits: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-qk3k7e.open.airstreamcomm.net) (Connection closed)

00:31 <Lumindia> that's the first one that came up when searching 'doom difficulty'

00:32 <Cepheid> I know.

00:32 <Cepheid> Just saying

00:32 <Cepheid> Okay, not a 1:1 copy.

00:32 * Lumindia shrug

00:32 <Cepheid> But a few bits of it are directly copied.

00:32 <Cepheid> It's basically plagiarism.

00:33 <Lumindia> Unrelated

00:33 <Lumindia> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaPVJpFS5xA

00:33 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

00:33 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Bird flipping can and dancing! READ DESCRIPTION!

00:33 <Lumindia> Have a birb

00:33 <Cepheid> Birbs are weird.

00:40 * Cepheid looks at clock. Too early to take meds.

00:41 * Cepheid flops off to take a shower.

01:01 *** Joins: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-qk3k7e.open.airstreamcomm.net)

01:02 * Cepheid flops back.

01:13 <Cepheid> This whole "30% Canadian Content" requirement thing is going to kill Canadian television.

01:14 <Cepheid> And possibly streaming services for Canadians, if the CRTC tries to apply it to streaming services.

01:14 <Schism> Well, Hades is fun...

01:15 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Say Something Nice About Smolder [ https://tinyurl.com/yc9amjws ]

01:16 <Dappled> Isn't it though?

01:16 * Dappled loves Hades.

01:17 <Schism> It's quite enjoyable.  I admit, I'm more a fan of the sword so far, but maybe as I get more keys I'll grow to love the other weapons.

01:18 * Dappled loves the fists.

01:18 <Dappled> Punch them all!

01:18 * Cepheid grabs both Hades and Transistor.

01:18 <Schism> Transistor seems like it might be more your style, Cephy.

01:25 <Schism> But Hades is fun, it's very Rogue Legacy after all.

01:25 <Schism> Reach out a bit more, wind up facing the first fury, get obliterated, grumble and continue to roll new variants.

01:28 <Dappled> Dusa is the best.

01:28 <Dappled> Give all to Dusa.

01:35 <Dappled> Also Boldy.

01:35 * Dappled takes nectar and gives it to Boldy.

01:44 <ADragonDreaming> Bow is best as Hera, I'm finding.

01:45 * Dappled doesn't do that without Artemis's boon to make the casts pop out and Hermes to make them pop out faster.

01:46 <ADragonDreaming> I find it a superior option to the other two at this point, regardless.

01:46 <Cepheid> Everyone fares better with different weapons, after all.

01:46 <Dappled> Zag Punch is best Punch.

01:47 <Cepheid> I can't even use the Charge Blade even remotely as good as you can, ADragonDreaming.

01:47 <Cepheid> Or the lances.

01:48 <Dappled> Gunlance is amazing. Get Artillery 5. Approach others wailing on monster. Cast.... EXPLOSION!

01:48 <Dappled> Repeat until party hates you.

01:48 <Cepheid> All I really need to master with the Switch Axe at this point, is switching in and out mid-combo.

01:48 <Dappled> Usually only takes twice.

01:49 <Cepheid> ADra and me are...  We put up with each other constantly interrupting one another because in most cases, we can recover and get mounts from them.

01:49 <ADragonDreaming> hehe

01:51 <Cepheid> So, I got the volcanic region up to level 7.

01:51 <Cepheid> I now see *YAY* like "Tempered Savage Deviljho."

01:52 <Dappled> Yay!

01:55 <Cepheid> Oh my gods my body needs coffee.

01:55 <Schism> -60% starting HP.  +2 HP per hit.  Yes, that is good.

01:55 <Dappled> It is good.

01:56 <Dappled> Is it +2 per hit or +2 per kill?

01:56 <Schism> Per hit.

01:56 <Dappled> It is good.

01:56 * Dappled places Thanatos in Schism's next room.

01:57 * Schism died to Meg when she had that one.

01:57 <Dappled> Thanatos is your friend.

01:57 <Dappled> He would never hurt you.

01:58 <Dappled> That's Meg's job.

01:58 <Schism> Charon is also a grumbly sort of friend.

01:59 * Dappled always checks charon rooms other than the one before bosses. Cause sometimes there's a special item in there.

02:01 <Schism> "Greg and I even had very intellectual conversations on why this should be so, which is that the ancient Greeks, like us, were huge fans of the human form and beauty, and they celebrated it a lot. So it was kind of a carte blanche to make everyone really hot."

02:02 <Schism> I mean.  I've heard worse explanations.

02:02 * Dappled looks at Boldy. Approves.

02:05 <Dappled> Also Dusa.

02:05 * Dappled loves Dusa a lot.

02:06 <Cepheid> Right, TV is mine now, so time to get my hunt on.

02:07 <Cepheid> Debating spending a portion of my OSAP funding on a new QLED TV to replace my old, burned in OLED TV.

02:09 <Cepheid> So I now have every armor set down to Barioth Beta+ crafted. o3o

02:09 <Cepheid> So I'm at least halfway done with my craft-all-the-armor goal.

02:09 <Cepheid> I say at least, because I am not taking into account the lower half of the list that I have crafted.

02:10 <Cepheid> Upgrading all of this is going to cost me a multi-million dollar fortune.

02:10 <Cepheid> Kulve Taroth will likely be my solution for that.

02:35 <Cepheid> Man, what the hell was that Rathalos made of?  Unobtanium?  Took a beating like nothing else.

02:38 <Cepheid> Four of us(3 randos) kept knocking it over, and we kept going to town on it while it was down.  Screen was full of flashing from crits, all the crits.

02:38 <Cepheid> And it still took us several minutes to murder it.

02:54 <Cepheid> I have no idea how I just cut off that tail.  I wasn't even aiming for it.

03:17 *** Quits: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

03:43 <Cepheid> And that's regular Rathalos armor done.

03:44 <Cepheid> ... And all I need for Azure Rath is 2 barnos claws.

03:45 <Cepheid> That makes my life easier.

03:52 <Cepheid> Right, my body won't stop screaming at me to get back into bed, so I think I'm going to oblige and do just that for now.

03:57 <ADragonDreaming> I kept meaning to put Hades down and go play some monhan but Hades has me hooked.

03:57 <Cepheid> Heh, it's fine.

03:57 <Cepheid> I'm stopping for the time being anyways.  My body isn't up to doing much.

03:58 <Cepheid> My muscles are doing that thing where they feel like they need constant stretching, which is usually an indication for me that I should either lay down, or go back to sleep.

03:58 <Cepheid> And it's all over my body, so it's almost painful.

04:05 <ADragonDreaming> ouch

04:10 * Ali finds the Dappled to curl up on

04:20 * Starlight_Glimmer curls into Ali, is sick

04:20 * Ali cures Starlight_Glimmer

04:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> My dinner decided to take a shortcut on the way out :(

04:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> This hasn't happened in like 10 years or so

04:25 * Ali pat pats the Starlight_Glimmer and snuggles with her

04:40 * Cepheid listens to music while laying down.

04:47 <Cepheid> Hum.  Thinking on the Ys world...  It seems that a majority of the world's problems started with the Kingdom of Celceta.

04:52 <Cepheid> Being the oldest kingdom mentioned thus far, it predates Ys, Kefin, and the world as it is when Adol's adventures start.  It's also implied to have created a lot of powerful relics.

04:52 <Cepheid> Some of which appear in other games.

05:17 <Ali> I'm just having trouble getting into a game.

05:17 <Ali> Just can't focus or stay focused

06:47 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-aj9mbi.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

07:03 <Dappled> As a nightshift person, taking naps is dangerous. There is no sun to keep me from sleeping too long. Cause my room actually stays dark.

07:21 * Ali glomps Dappled cause signs of life.

07:23 * Dappled brushies the Ali as he starts for the hundreth time the FireRed Nuzlocke. This time he's serious though.

07:23 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

07:23 * Ali noms on Dappled's Rattata, its the top 100 in Rattata's after all

07:25 <Dappled> The trainer ID system blessed me with a Squirtle so I'm happy about that.

07:27 <Ali> And then it dies to Gary

07:27 <Ali> He'll smell you later though.

07:27 <Dappled> This is likely.

07:28 * Dappled is using an edited rom to remove impossible evolutions.

07:32 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony!

07:32 <Finwe> Miss Ali, Mr Dappled.

07:32 * Finwe doffs his hat.

07:32 * Ali curls into Finwe and Dappled, bored unicorn pony

07:32 * Dappled hugs the Ali and waves.

07:33 <Finwe> It has snowed through the night, I'm going to check whether there's enough for skiing. o3o!

07:33 <Dappled> Yeah. Green is going to be butt. He crit in the first fight. I had to use my potion already.

07:33 <Dappled> But you need slopes for skiiing.

07:33 * Dappled stares out into the not skiiable oklahoma

07:44 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-mioavt.c2vi.m095.067c.2001.IP)

07:45 * Golden blinks remembering his local resale/card shop put him for 2 boxes of the official digimon card game release.

07:50 * Ali wants to buy magic cards, but they're just worthless cardboard when she can play it.

07:54 <Golden> There is always selling individual cards. I remember having a card that was 80+ usd.

07:56 *** Joins: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-pem.ofe.132.45.IP)

07:56 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

07:56 <Ali> Golden, I have Sliver Queen and that's valued at over 200 now

07:56 <Ali> I got her at 50

07:57 <Golden> Nice

07:57 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

07:57 * Ali grabs ConfusionRift for snugs, bored unicorn

07:57 <Golden> Heya Confusion

07:57 <ConfusionRift> Hey there.

07:57 * ConfusionRift snugs Ali.

07:58 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift.

07:58 <Finwe> o7

07:58 <ConfusionRift> Just got back from work. Tired and bored. :P

07:58 * Cepheid re-awakens.

07:58 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

08:00 * Dappled has Mipha the Squirtle and Pesto the Pidgey.

08:00 <Ali> So why Fire Red Dappled?

08:00 * Dappled wants to beat the nuzlockes in region order. Not necessarily gen order.

08:01 * ConfusionRift wonders what Cepheid is doing. :P

08:02 <Cepheid> Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out.

08:03 <ConfusionRift> Makes me wonder if WE are the ones causing the ecosystem instabilities. Considering we should be preserving the monsters, not kill them.

08:04 <Dappled> I mean the big elder dragons only show up after you've slaughtered so many different kinds of monsters.

08:05 <ConfusionRift> They're the ecological failsaves. (facepalms) We sure are a menace. :P

08:06 * Dappled also points out that while it's true that you have to unlock those by hunting at least one of each, you likely hunt a lot more than that to get that gear.

08:06 * ConfusionRift now imagines a hippie "hunter".

08:06 * Cepheid hums. 480,000 Zeny to upgrade a single piece of R11 gear to absolute max level.

08:07 <Cepheid> I feel like poking Kulve for a bit.  Maybe I'll go assist with sieges.

08:09 <ConfusionRift> "They are better out there than here. Hunting is bad! And so is capturing! Do you have any idea how painful those nets and traps are?!" | See, I would have rather given me that shpill that (bleep)ING RELEASING AN ANJANATH IN OUR CAMP!!! All is null and voided now!

08:10 <Dappled> Also have you seen what they serve for the "Vegetarian" option at the canteen?

08:11 <ConfusionRift> They better appreciate those tomatoes. Those Uragaans weren't easy kills... whoops.

08:12 * Dappled attempts to free the Felyne population from slavery.

08:13 * ConfusionRift watches as his Palico baps Dappled with his weapon. "Something tells me he doesn't wanna go." :P

08:13 * Ali sits in the non monster hunter side of the room.

08:13 * Dappled runs away!

08:14 * ConfusionRift rolls from MH to Ali. "What'cha doin'?" :P

08:14 <Ali> Nothing, that's my problem T.T

08:14 <Ali> I'm torn between building a base in Factorio or something with Rimworld

08:15 <Ali> The problem with Factorio is if I hit a stagnation point, it just..dies.

08:19 <ConfusionRift> Usually how it goes. There's a point when it's the case of waiting for things to smelt or fabricate.

08:20 * Dappled adds Hawkwood the Rattata to the team.

08:38 * ConfusionRift flops. Isn't sure what to do.

08:39 * Dappled has no suggestions. He's doing the boring thing of playing pokemon.

08:41 <Ali> At least its not gen 8~

08:41 <Ali> I swear pokemon games have gotten more boring since Gen 6

08:42 * Dappled waits for Gen 9

08:43 <ConfusionRift> You just have to pay to capture a Pokemon. :P

08:43 <Dappled> You're thinking of Go.

08:43 <Ali> Or they just give them to you

08:44 <Ali> Still getting a free Legendary irked me so hard in ORAS

08:44 <ConfusionRift> Unova, Kanto, Johto, etc. are there... as DLC.

08:44 <Ali> Nope

08:44 <Dappled> You know the fanbase would be happy with that.

08:44 * Finwe hats on Ali.

08:44 <Ali> Only Gen 2 has ever gone to an older region

08:45 * Dappled points at HeartGold SoulSilver. Remakes yes, but later generations.

08:45 <Ali> Still Gen 2 :P

08:45 * Dappled holds up FireRed, Gen 3.

08:45 * Finwe noms on Ali's Pokémon collection.

08:45 * Ali baps it back to gen 1

08:45 <ConfusionRift> That's Gen 1.5. :P

08:45 <Ali> Still better than pony 3.5

08:45 * Ali shudders

08:46 * Dappled doesn't think that's a thing that happened.

08:46 <ConfusionRift> Anything is better than that Flash animation looking disaster.

08:46 <Ali> Pony Life?   *Shot*

08:46 <Ali> I saw like two episodes of that

08:46 * Dappled has no strong feelings on it.

08:46 <Ali> Never more have the words Son I am disappoint held more meaning

08:47 * Finwe boops Ali with a horrid image from the past: http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/9/9b/Untitled-10.jpg

08:47 * ConfusionRift has no opinion, hasn't seen it. But considering what it is, and what everyone's saying, it doesn't call the curiosity.

08:47 <Ali> Yep, 3.5

08:47 <ConfusionRift> What the?!

08:48 * Dappled enjoys Owl House. That's the good stuff.

08:48 * ConfusionRift points at the pony, bottom left.

08:48 <Ali> You didn't know Pinkie Pie was a Gen 3 pony?

08:48 <ConfusionRift> The... the... the snoot!

08:49 <ConfusionRift> What is wrong with her snoot?!

08:49 <Ali> Welcome to 3.5

08:49 <Ali> Where Dashie is the fashion pony

08:49 <Dappled> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQaDq01M-O4

08:49 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

08:49 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Vulkan wants to boop the snoot

08:51 <ConfusionRift> It looks like an animation mid-frame! She looks like she had two mouths!

08:51 <Finwe> There was a princess pony by the name Trixie-something among G2 characters.

08:51 <Finwe> Might have been Trixiebelle.

08:51 <Ali> Rarity was something like that in G3

08:52 <ConfusionRift> Trixie Tang? (gets bapped) | "Wrong cartoon!"

08:53 <Finwe> Yes, Trixiebelle: http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/8/8e/Princess-trixiebelle-access.jpg

08:53 <Dappled> Okay, fingers crossed for a Pikachu from Viridian Forest.

08:53 <Ali> Princess or Court Jester?

08:54 * Ali gives Dappled a Caterpie

08:54 <Finwe> Applejack was already around in 1980's as a G1 pony.

08:54 <Ali> Actually, that's too useful

08:54 <Dappled> Wild Caterpie appeared.

08:54 <ConfusionRift> Ali, princess of jesters! :P

08:54 * Ali changes it to Metapod, cause it never learns Tackle and is thus useless weight

08:54 <Ali> Eeyup

08:55 <Finwe> Pinkie Pie is indeed a G3 pony, here wearing what appears to be a bunny costume: http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/2/28/Pinkiepie-3.jpg

08:55 <Ali> Well Cheerilee, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are also Gen 3's

08:55 <Finwe> Yup.

08:55 * ConfusionRift shutters.

08:56 <Finwe> And Rainbow Dash.

08:56 <ConfusionRift> Ali: Scootaloo 3.5

08:56 <Ali> A lot of the 3.5 chibi looks are god awful

08:56 <ConfusionRift> Sound it too.

08:56 <Finwe> Although the G3 Dash was an earthpony: http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/9/99/First-dash.jpg

08:58 <Dappled> Alright. So before Brock I have Squirtle, Pidgey, Rattata, Mankey, and Caterpie.

08:58 <Finwe> G3 Scootaloo: http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/7/70/Scootin-scootaloo1.jpg

08:59 <Finwe> Also an earthpony.

09:01 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-a6ggs4.tpgi.com.au)

09:02 <Finwe> And the apex of G3.5, ponies with skirts: http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/File:Cutiemark-sweetiebelle1.jpg

09:03 <Finwe> From 2010, just before the transition to modern G4 ponies.

09:04 <ConfusionRift> The horror that transition was.

09:07 <Finwe> Hmm, G1 features a unicorn pony called Twilight: http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/e/ee/TwilightUnicorn.jpg

09:07 <Dappled> That is a cursed toy.

09:08 * Dappled 's pretty sure he gained a point of insight from witnessing it.

09:08 <Finwe> My sister had some G1 ponies, but I cannot remember which ones.

09:09 <Finwe> Applejack might have been one of them.

09:14 <Finwe> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNsJTkdq2Xo

09:14 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

09:14 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about My Little Pony G3,5 Full Opening Theme - Sing Along

09:23 * Cepheid deconstructs spaceship before fires burn out. Watches as explosions spontaneously happen out of thin air. </Factorioing now>

09:24 <Ali> Yeah, that starting crash thing is silly once you deconstructed the ship

09:24 <Ali> It still explodes for the next thirty seconds or so.

09:25 <Cepheid> I should try to actually finish a game this time.  This one's modded slightly.  RSO.  So basically a railworld, with some tweaks to ore generation to get rid of the distance scaling.

09:26 <Ali> And the horrible ore mixing and right up next to the water?

09:27 * Dappled makes more Kolaches.

09:28 <Cepheid> Not happening.

09:29 <Ali> That is one of the more annoying things with Vanilla

09:29 <Ali> Having your ores mixed together or just shoved up against the water

09:29 <Ali> I had in one game Cepheid, where one miner was able to mine four different resources.

09:29 <Cepheid> RSO deals with that.  But it comes with a cost.

09:29 <Finwe> Dappled: Isn't koláč a Czech thing?

09:29 <Cepheid> Usually, ores are much further distributed.  It also deals with bug spawning to balance it out.

09:30 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/k05ZVF3.png This is what I got.

09:30 * Cepheid also adds Helmod and Even Distribution to the mod mix.

09:30 <Ali> Those are some small ore patches, but also small bug bases

09:30 <Finwe> There's also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko%C5%82acz.

09:30 <Cepheid> Former's a factory planner.  Latter, if you hold an item, then drag CTRL over something that can hold that item, it'll distribute it as evenly as possible.

09:33 <Cepheid> Useful for distributing coal among multiple furnaces and other items.

09:34 <Golden> Where's the caveman?

09:34 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, multiplayer or single-player?

09:34 <Cepheid> Singleplayer.

09:34 <Cepheid> I could host another multiplayer game, using that exact map, if desired.

09:34 <RazorSharpFang> You got oil in the starting area? Fantastic.

09:34 <Cepheid> I like it, myself, so..

09:34 <Cepheid> RSO.

09:35 <Cepheid> It spawns oil, not a lot, guaranteed, at the starting area.

09:35 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, that has that doesn't it.

09:35 <Cepheid> In any case, give me a few minutes and I'll have another server set up.

09:35 <Finwe> Dappled: And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalach_(food)

09:36 * Ali flails with Finwe

09:36 <DerpyBot> *derp*

09:37 <Cepheid> Actually, rather than a vanilla server with just say, RSO...

09:37 <Cepheid> Would you be up to something more challenging?

09:39 <Cepheid> ....

09:39 <Cepheid> I cannot believe this.

09:39 <Ali> Define...challenging

09:39 <Cepheid> I cannot recall the password to the server.

09:39 <Cepheid> Of any of the accounts.

09:40 * Dappled bets its not butter.

09:40 <Cepheid> Ali:  Krastorio 2, or Space Exploration.  Challenging in the sense of changed production lines.

09:40 <Ali> Its not *redacted*

09:40 <RazorSharpFang> Is that more challenging than Seablock?

09:40 <Cepheid> Doubt it.

09:41 <Ali> Nothing is more head hurting than seabock

09:41 <Ali> So hard to get started

09:41 <Dappled> For challenge play Terrafirmacraft minecraft.

09:41 * Dappled shot.

09:41 <Ali> As far as Space Exploration.  The only comfusing part I saw that screwed production lines is the motor

09:41 <Cepheid> Right, I'm gonna have to fix this using alternative methods.

09:42 <Cepheid> But first, I think I should eat this salad before it goes bad.

09:42 <RazorSharpFang> I still enjoy the concept of being able to make stuff from nothing. Just lots of energy.

09:42 <Ali> Its interesting concept wise, but really feel like it needs a better power source

09:42 <Ali> The wind turbines are land heavy, mat ineffecient, and make little power.

09:42 <RazorSharpFang> Power gets exponentially better as tech goes on.

09:43 <Ali> I got to boilers and my brain just stopped working

09:43 <Ali> I just couldn't get enough slag to make materials

09:44 <RazorSharpFang> Green science is when things look a lot healthier. I

09:44 <RazorSharpFang> I have no power concerns anymore.

09:44 <Cepheid> I'm leaning towards Space Exploration solely because space, and the fact that I can supply distant bases.

09:47 <Cepheid> Okay, that problem's resolved.

09:48 <Cepheid> ...

09:48 <Cepheid> Did I seriously screw up typing in the password when changing it?

09:49 <Cepheid> I did.

09:50 <Ali> Nothing is more annoying than changing a password only to mistype it in

09:51 <Cepheid> Gets even better.  I was able to use the password while physically connected to the machine, so I typed it in right, just for whatever reason I cannot remotely log in.

09:51 <Cepheid> There we go.

09:52 <Cepheid> First order of business, system update.

09:53 <RazorSharpFang> I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 18.04

09:54 <Cepheid> I'll be installing all of the optional and recommended mods, as well as helmod and the factorio version of FNEI.

09:55 <Finwe> I've never had any power concerns in Factorio.

09:55 <Cepheid> Due to the increased load time, I'd advise maybe enabling sprite atlas caching.

09:56 <Cepheid> Though, that's done through config file editing.  I don't know why the devs have it locked away elsewhere.

09:57 <Cepheid> Now to generate a sane map...

10:02 <Cepheid> ... Okay, so something happens between "start game" and appearing on the map, because those patches of ore weren't there in the preview.  On the other hand, we got a bunch of large patches of ore surrounding us that are all separated, so..

10:12 <Ali> Something wrong with the map gen?

10:13 * Dappled turns on the map gen. Wonders how many watts he gets out of it.

10:14 * Ali gives Dappled 50 watts

10:14 * Dappled uses them to buy a quick ball

10:15 <Ali> I tell you though, quick balls are stupid busted in Sword and Shield

10:15 <Ali> You can catch just about anything with one or two of them.

10:15 <Cepheid> Also, in theory, the server should be somewhat more responsive now.  I finally got around to dealing with bufferbloat.

10:15 * Dappled glares at Beldum.

10:16 <Cepheid> So, should be the same address as the previous server.

10:16 <Cepheid> Unless my IP address changed again and I need to update the DNS.

10:16 <Ali> I just tried, noffin

10:19 <Cepheid> Says you're not logged into your Factorio account.

10:19 <Cepheid> And then mod mismatch.

10:19 <Ali> yeah got the mod mismatch, its trying again

10:19 <Dappled> Do you think Frieze uses eyeliner?

10:27 <Cepheid> Should be good now, Ali.
