00:45 * Starlight_Glimmer warms their hooves with Ali.

00:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> I've been outside mailing a letter

00:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yes, at almost 2 AM

00:51 * Dappled thinks you should stay inside. It's warm inside.

00:53 <Starlight_Glimmer> But that letter needed mailing

00:53 <Schism> le sigh.  LCBO was closed.

00:53 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also for the record I went down the street to a mailbox. The U.S. mailbox flag thingy is not a thing here.

00:54 <Starlight_Glimmer> And it's snowing! That's a plus! No snow on the ground though.

00:55 * Starlight_Glimmer loves snow.

00:55 * Dappled was promised global warming. And yet snow keeps happening.

00:55 <Starlight_Glimmer> That's not how that works

00:56 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's been called climate change instead of global warming for a reason.

00:56 * Schism makes up a spot of coffee, instead, which she adulterates with Bailey's.

00:56 <Starlight_Glimmer> The average temperature is going up, but so are the extremes.

00:57 <Starlight_Glimmer> Bailey's <3

00:57 <Starlight_Glimmer> I have some other irish coffee liqueur around and it's great as well.

00:58 * Dappled sprays more aerosal cans.

00:58 <Schism> Also good: Kahlua.

00:58 <Schism> Salted caramel kahlua = <3.

01:00 * Dappled takes two shots and passes out.

01:00 * Dappled 's a cheap drinker.

01:02 <Starlight_Glimmer> See I was going to post an Amazon.com link, but I'm under the impression you can't buy alcoholic beverages on U.S. Amazon 6_9

01:02 * Dappled also doesn't currently have a legal photo id. Must wait till monday to try and request another birth certificate.

01:08 <Starlight_Glimmer> No driver's license?

01:08 <Dappled> Yeah.

01:09 * Dappled 's been carpooling for the past 5 years.

01:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> Well you probably at least have the ability to get one, so you're ahead of me there.

01:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> All public transport for me.

01:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> Thankfully it doesn't totally suck

01:11 * Dappled would love public transit, but works nights and is way to far from the nearest bus stop.

01:12 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Say Something Nice About Limestone Pie [ https://tinyurl.com/y8v63pxr ]

01:12 <Starlight_Glimmer> What do you do for a living if I might ask?

01:12 <Dappled> Warehouse.

01:13 * Dappled pulls material off of shelves to send to the store branches.

01:15 * Ali tucks Starlight_Glimmer back to bed

01:15 <Starlight_Glimmer> Back? What do you mean by back?

01:15 * Starlight_Glimmer is sitting on the sofa

01:16 * Ali thought Starlight_Glimmer should be in bed by now

01:16 <Starlight_Glimmer> My heating appears to be working correctly again, that's good!

01:17 * Dappled desires a nest of blankets.

01:17 <Starlight_Glimmer> Ali: Hypocrite!

01:18 * Ali burries Dappled in blankets

01:18 * Dappled is pleased.

01:18 <Ali> Hey I have insomnia issues sometimes

01:19 * Starlight_Glimmer worships the night, will enjoy it a tiny bit longer

01:20 * Lumindia hugs both Ali and GlimGlam

01:20 * Lumindia offers both chicken nuggies

01:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> My sleep schedule shifts when I don't need to work. That's a bit of an issue for me. I do have a couple of nights where I get very little sleep too, but nothing too bad.

01:20 * Ali nods and snugs Lumindia and Starlight_Glimmer

01:21 * Starlight_Glimmer leans in

01:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> Because I'm really not a fan of sunlight (keyword achromatopsia), I naturally tend to prefer the evening and night.

01:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> That walk I just did to throw my letter in the mailbox was actually quite pleasant if you ignore it beig quite cold.

01:23 <Schism> mmmmm.  Fish cakes with my world-famous cocktail sauce.

01:25 <Starlight_Glimmer> O.K. Schism that's where you lost me. ;) Fish is fine, but the less processed the better.

01:25 <Schism> Bah.  :p  Even some spiced fish cakes are sometimes delicious.

01:26 * Dappled doesn't believe it's world famous. I've never heard of it.

01:26 <Schism> There are folks here from all around the globe, so it's world-famous.  Harrumph.

01:27 * Dappled disbelieves all claims of things being world famous.

01:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> I have a feeling the middle east and asia are a but under represented.

01:27 <Schism> Well, true.  <.<

01:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> bit*

01:28 * Dappled doesn't even believe pokemon is world famous.

01:28 * Starlight_Glimmer wonders if gsc is still a thing

01:33 * Ali misreads and drops the GSC on Starlight_Glimmer

01:33 <Ali> By GSC, I mean Genestealer Cult

01:34 * Dappled steals Ali's jeans.

01:34 <Ali> Jokes on you I don't have jeans

01:34 <Dappled> Not anymore!

01:35 <Starlight_Glimmer> I meant the Indian chat place

01:35 <Starlight_Glimmer> These folks were ... fun.

01:35 <Ali> You mean Geekshed or Everywhere Chat?

01:35 <Starlight_Glimmer> Neither

01:35 * Lumindia i remember geekshed

01:36 * Schism provides Lumindia with fishcakes.

01:37 * Dappled 's almost ready to take on his rival in Cerulean.

01:37 <Starlight_Glimmer> Looks like they actually managed to host their own IRCd now

01:37 * Lumindia nibbles on Schism instead

01:37 <Schism> Also, there are fishy sticks.

01:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> GSC was like a middle eastern chat thingy. They somehow decided that Canternet was the right place for them for reasons. They had nothing to do with horses,

01:38 * Ali shrugs

01:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> The probably chose this network because brushie was the only operator that somehow didn't ban them because they annoyed everyone

01:39 <Ali> I mean I'm still here~

01:39 * Ali is the most annoying thing around

01:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> They had been asking for some time how to setup their network but lacked basic technical understanding

01:40 * Dappled can be annoying.

01:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also I have a feeling there was bit of grooming going on in their channel.

01:41 * Starlight_Glimmer snuggles Ali

01:42 <Starlight_Glimmer> The GSC folks frequented #help and #canternet quite a lot. At some point I gave up trying to answer their more than silly questions.

01:42 <Starlight_Glimmer> They got themselves banned a couple of times too.

01:42 * Schism noms this fishcake with the sauce, and immediately blanches. "Oh, that's good." She takes a glass of ice water, though.

01:42 * Dappled never though blanching was a good thing.

01:43 <Schism> Extra extra strong horseradish.

01:43 <Schism> Sinuses go boom.

01:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> Oh I had an interesting discussion with one of the GSC admins about religion too.

01:46 * Starlight_Glimmer is an atheist

01:47 * Ali shuns Starlight_Glimmer by snugging her

01:48 <Starlight_Glimmer> We were at the point where we agreed that islam and christianity are basically the same thing, that cooperation between nations and trade helps everyone.

01:48 <Starlight_Glimmer> And then they told me all jews are horrible and must be killed. That one stunned me a bit.

01:49 <Ali> Yikes

01:49 <Ali> Moooving on from that

01:49 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah! Interesting people!

01:49 <Dappled> Okay, so I've got everyone up to level 18 and two with type advantage over Gary's starter. I should be able to handle this without losing anyone.

01:50 <Ali> Pidgeotto kills someone

01:50 <Ali> The Abra is free XP for someone

01:51 <Ali> Bulbasaur is probably the minor issue cause Razor Leaf got nerfed

01:51 <Starlight_Glimmer> It is weird having grown up with Pokémons having different names.

01:51 <Dappled> Yeah. Pidgeotto is my worry. I'm going in with my Wartortle. I'll swap to Mankey for Rattata, then I'll use Pidgeotto and Spearow to handle Ivysaur.

01:51 * Schism quick balls an Abra. o3o;

01:51 <Dappled> Makes sense4.

01:51 * Dappled doesn't have quick balls. Only pokeballs.

01:51 <Ali> I don't think its Ivysaur at that point Dappled

01:52 <Ali> And Quick Balls are only after Gen 4

01:52 <Dappled> You're right. Still 18

01:52 <Schism> Ali: Perhaps level balls made out of red apricorns, then?  o3o

01:53 * Ali boops Schism as that's only available in Gen 2 and can't be transfered to gen three games

01:53 * Dappled 's in FireRed, no shiny balls for him.

01:54 <Schism> You could get Nest Balls maybe.  o3o

01:54 * Ali boops Schism back into Gen 1

01:54 <Ali> There's only 4 ball types

01:54 <Schism> FireRed has more.  o3o

01:54 <Ali> Maybe 5 if the premier ball is available

01:54 <Dappled> Nope.

01:55 <Schism> Well... I mean... maybe in post-game.  Bleh.

01:56 * Dappled was noping Premier balls.

01:56 <Starlight_Glimmer> Pokéball, Superball, Masterball, Safariball. Can't remember the premierball being in yellow

01:56 * Dappled already bought 10 in a batch and didn't get one.

01:56 <Ali> Poke, Great, Ultra, Master are the four ball types in US terms

01:56 * Dappled isn't sure if Starlight_Glimmer is missing Great or Ultra based on translation.

01:56 <Dappled> Safari is there, Ali.

01:56 <Dappled> It's just only in one spot.

01:57 <Ali> Yeah I don't call that a useful ball cause of that

01:57 <Ali> And its a pain to catch things in the Safari Zone

01:57 <Schism> I'm sure the Timer Ball is _perfectly_ useful.

01:57 <Ali> It has uses

01:57 <Ali> But really a Dusk Ball or Quick ball nowadays is a better use

01:57 <Starlight_Glimmer> Superball = Great Ball

01:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> Ultra I missed.

01:58 <Starlight_Glimmer> See, translations make everything worse.

01:59 <Starlight_Glimmer> At least generation 1 is actually one I know things about.

01:59 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's been ages since I played any of them though

01:59 * Dappled doesn't see a way to buy any others in FRLG.

02:00 <Schism> Ultra Balls have an H on them because they're named Hyper Balls.  o3o

02:00 * Starlight_Glimmer had silver, fire red, and ruby as well.

02:00 <Starlight_Glimmer> Might have been more I can't remember.

02:00 * Schism also catches all the Unown. For some reason.

02:00 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

02:03 <Starlight_Glimmer> Oh I believe I had blue as well and at least I played crystal at some point.

02:05 * Starlight_Glimmer buries Ali underneath Eevee plushies

02:06 * Ali eeees loudly at all the Vees

02:07 <Schism> https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/667d8fdf-5afd-4624-9ad6-aeae9c542a7c_1.71c246de67ac5bb04275bf16677a285e.jpeg?odnWidth=612&odnHeight=612&odnBg=ffffff

02:07 <Ali> Those are incredibly well done for a walmart image eons

02:08 <Schism> Flareons remain the best, with zappyborks slightly behind.

02:08 <Ali> That's not how you spell Glaceon

02:08 * Schism will fite.

02:08 <Ali> I mean, I like all the eons

02:09 <Ali> Just poor Flareon and Umbreon are screwed over by shallow movepools

02:09 <Ali> Jolteon has the same problem too

02:09 * Dappled likes Umbreon. Look at them bands.

02:11 <Schism> Also plush: https://nintendocore.org/products/16-23cm-pocket-doll-plush-eevee-espeon-jolteon-umbreon-vaporeon-flareon-glaceon-leafeon-plush-toys-dolls

02:12 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2393 [ https://tinyurl.com/yc9fman9 ]

02:12 <Ali> That Leafeon looks a little to sad to me Schism

02:12 <Schism> True.

02:12 <Ali> Espeon's little things on the side of its head it too high up

02:21 * Schism offers Ali some Dare maple cookies. They're made where she lives.

02:22 * Ali sniff sniffs Schism's cookies carefully

02:22 <Schism> https://www.darefoods.com/ca_en/product/dare-ultimate-maple-crme/391

02:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> Good night my silly pony friends!

02:38 * Dappled stopped to watch the ending of Soul. Good stuff that.

02:38 * Dappled got through without anyone being in danger.

02:40 * Ali noms Dappled while on Nugget Bridge and makes them catch an Oddish

02:40 <Dappled> I'd take an Oddish. A grass type would be useful for the next two gyms

02:43 <Ali> Grass isn't great vs Surge, but you could get a Diglett in the cave

02:43 <Ali> Or if lucky a Dugtrio

02:43 <Ali> But not sure if its as busted as they were in RBY

02:43 <Ali> The problem if its a Dugtrio is its going to be super high level

02:45 <Dappled> Is pursuit going to do me any good? I don't remember npc trainers swapping pokemon before fainting in early gens.

02:45 <Ali> They don't switch yet I don't believe to type disadvantages

02:45 <Ali> But if you need a dark type move it can work

02:46 <Ali> Though Bite and Crunch are the more prefered Dark Moves

02:46 * Dappled 's wartortle has Bite.

02:46 <Ali> Now do remember this is Gen 3

02:46 <Ali> And Dark is a special move

02:48 * Dappled really wants Super Fang already.

02:48 <Ali> But why?

02:48 <Ali> at max it will do 50% HP of damage

02:48 <Dappled> It's a relatively cheap alternative to false swipe.

02:52 <Dappled> For gen 3 my options for false swipe are Farfetch'd, Cubone/Marowak, and Scyther. It wasn't a TM in this generation.

02:53 <Dappled> So short of getting very lucky with those, my goal is Super Fang to widdle health down without to much risk of killing.

02:54 <ADragonDreaming> because nuzlocke.

02:54 <Dappled> Yeah.

02:56 <Schism> Sleep is also of the good.  o3o

02:57 <Schism> If you can get anything that can _do_ sleep.  A Jigglypuff is perhaps not in the cards.

02:57 <Dappled> True, but I've already lost an encounter to Butterfee crit tackling a Nidoran M.

02:57 <Dappled> Thing wasn't even in the yellow yet.

02:57 <Schism> Ooh, yeah.

02:58 <Ali> Bulbasaur knows it

02:58 <Ali> But yeah, getting sleep/false swipe would be stupid hard in a nuzlocke

02:58 <Dappled> Bulbasaur doesn't learn it by level in Gen 3, Ali.

02:58 <Ali> Odd, thought it could learn it by the 20s

02:58 <Ali> Butterfree should know sleep powder though

02:58 <Dappled> It does.

02:59 <Dappled> But again, Crit Tackles happen.

02:59 <Ali> Cause hypnosis is too inaccurate

02:59 <Ali> And Paras's Spore is too rare

02:59 <Schism> Maybe you'll catch a Chansey in the Safari Zone.  o3o

02:59 * Dappled wasn't willing to repel my way through Mt. Moon for paras.

02:59 <Ali> Catch and Chansey don't go together

03:00 <Schism> Bulbasaur learns Sleep Powder at level 41.  o3o

03:02 * Dappled prepares for his route 24 chance.

03:02 <Schism> Gastly also learns Hypnosis, that might be an alternative once you get to the tower.

03:02 <Dappled> True.

03:02 * Dappled wouldn't mind Gengar.

03:02 * Dappled edited his rom to remove impossible evolutions.

03:03 <Schism> Mew also learns hypnosis, so I'm sure that's a perfectly viable possibility.  Just look in that truck behind the S.S. Anne.

03:03 <Schism> (I joke, it only learns it in XD.)

03:04 <ADragonDreaming> (The truck is meaningless, also.)

03:04 <Schism> Lies, there's at least a lava cookie in it.

03:06 * Dappled holds up his glorious Route 24 poke.

03:06 * Dappled holds up Kakuna.

03:07 * Schism claps.

03:07 <Schism> I'm sure that Beedrill will be super helpful.

03:07 * Cepheid awakens.

03:08 * Schism passes the Cepheid a strong Caesar to wake up.

03:08 <Cepheid> That'd likely knock me out instead. :P

03:09 <Dappled> Salad will knock you out?

03:11 <Dappled> Route 25 netted me an Oddish, so that's good.

03:12 <Cepheid> A Caesar(Read:  No "Salad" in the name) is a drink in Canada, made of Clamato juice, tabasco sauce, worcestershire sauce, maybe some hot pickled bean brine, and vodka.

03:12 <Schism> You can always avoid the vodka, though.  Also, you forgot the horseradish.

03:13 <Cepheid> Right, right.

03:13 <Schism> Rather than tabasco, I use Dave's insanity sauce.  Though that's for the madfolk.

03:14 <Cepheid> The core ingredients are just clamato and vodka.  The rest can be mixed and matched to one's preference.

03:14 <Cepheid> But usually, a Caesar is spicy.

03:15 * Schism will typically add a bit of lime juice to hers, too.

03:16 <Schism> Cilantro, not so much.

03:22 <Cepheid> Hello cat.

03:26 * Cepheid wanders off to take a shower.

03:36 * Dappled has his first official category. Hawkwood the Rattata ate a crit on swapping while fighting a trainer's female nidoran.

03:37 * Dappled apparently autocorrected his own typing cause the irc doesn't have that.

03:37 <Dappled> Casualty.

03:39 <Ali> So just like Gary's rat, your rat is dead too

03:45 <Schism> Alas.  And that Rattata was going to be your source of Super Fang.

03:45 <Dappled> Yeah.

03:45 <Dappled> So that hurts pretty bad.

03:45 * Schism pats. ;-;

03:46 * Dappled places Hawkwood in Box 14. R.I.P. little bro.

03:51 <Cepheid> Ah, that was a good shower.

03:53 <Cepheid> Hum, now, what do?

03:54 <Dappled> Since I have type advantage with my Oddish I'm not going to overlevel for Misty.

03:56 <Cepheid> Mmm.  Tonight feels like a Factorio night again.

03:58 <Ali> I'll join to see what progress we can make

04:12 *** Joins: _jimm (horse@Pony-fr7.dqo.55.45.IP)

04:14 * Schism imagines that Misty's Starmie will be the death of Oddis.h

04:14 <Schism> Oddish.*

04:14 <Dappled> But why?

04:15 <Dappled> It doesn't know anything that's got type advantage.

04:15 <ADragonDreaming> Swift.

04:15 <Schism> Yes it does, it has psychic moves, and Oddish is a grass/poison.

04:15 <Dappled> Misty's has 3 normal and a water.

04:15 <ADragonDreaming> Doesn't need type advantage when it hits like a truck with Swift.

04:16 <Dappled> It has Rapid Spin, Swift, Recover, and Water Pulse.

04:16 <Schism> Oh, right.  I thought it had a psychic move for some reason.

04:16 <Schism> Swift's pretty bad on its own, though, yeah.

04:16 <Schism> Recover's a pain, too.

04:17 * Dappled isn't trusting the Oddish to solo the gym, just to do a lot of damage.

04:43 <Ali> Sadly absorb is weak as heck

04:43 <Ali> And Goldeens can peck

04:43 * Dappled already took care of the gym trainers. It's just Misty in there now.

07:04 <Dappled> What's that?

07:06 * Dappled sees the word horror and nopes away.

07:07 <Cepheid> I wouldn't say it's horror in the sense of scary.

07:07 <Cepheid> But there are some episodes known to cause... Possible trauma?

07:08 * Dappled looks for something lighthearted.

07:08 <Cepheid> Like, Evangelion type trauma.

07:08 <Dappled> Then absolutely not.

07:09 <Cepheid> Fair enough.

07:09 <Cepheid> It was more a joke suggestion than anything else.  I was going to follow up with an explanation as to why.

07:14 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

07:15 * Dappled waves

07:15 * Dappled ponders a rewatch of something classic.

07:16 <Cepheid> Hey Rifty.

07:17 * ConfusionRift wavies.

07:19 * Cepheid remembers she should order the MiA manga she doesn't have. Also look into whether one can order a disc of Dawn of the Deep Soul yet.

07:20 <Cepheid> Alas, it's not available on Bluray yet.

07:20 <Cepheid> Can only watch it through online rental.

07:21 <ConfusionRift> "Initial release: January 17, 2020". In Japan.

07:22 <Cepheid> Yeah.

07:22 <Cepheid> There were supposed to be airings here in Canada, but uh...

07:22 <Cepheid> Pandemic happened.  Even though the lockdowns occurred after airings, I wasn't allowed to go anywhere at that point.

07:23 <Cepheid> Also, it was in a remote area of the city.

07:24 <Cepheid> Which is pretty much as annoying as it sounds.

07:24 * Dappled grumbles that Spice and Wolf never got a 3rd season.

07:25 <Cepheid> Fortunately, it's not all bad news.

07:25 <Cepheid> There's online rentals, and technically?  The manga covers that movie.

07:26 <Cepheid> And, given the near one-to-one adaptation of the manga to anime..

07:26 <Cepheid> It's likely that the movie is pretty much another one-to-one adaptation.

07:30 * Dappled gives up and puts the DBZA movies on.

07:40 <Cepheid> Right, I need to eat some lunch.

07:48 <Cepheid> I wonder if the Japanese name for Fatalis is like, a portmanteau for something.

07:48 <ConfusionRift> Edgy Dragon. :P

07:49 * Dappled thinks about napping...

07:50 <Cepheid> Apparently it is.

07:50 <Dappled> Yup. Nap time. Later pones.

07:50 <ConfusionRift> Laters!

07:51 <Cepheid> Miraboreas.  Apparently it's possibly derived from Moirai Boreas, but the words make no sense when literally translated.

07:51 <Cepheid> "Fate" and "North Wind"/"North" respectively.

07:52 <Cepheid> Fatalis's name is derived from the word "Fata" or "Fate"/"Destiny"

07:53 <Dappled> Isn't there something in shintoism about disaster coming from the northwest?

07:53 <Cepheid> I am not sure.

07:53 * Dappled might be horribly misremembering things.

07:54 <Dappled> Anyway. Nap.

07:56 <ConfusionRift> Something between the lines of a sign of disaster (which conforms with the origin lore of Fatalis), or a form of sign towards ascension.

07:57 <Cepheid> Given World, I'm inclined to think it's taken in the form of "destiny" "fate" or "future" as in, the destiny/fate/future of humanity.

07:57 <Dappled> Well that's a Fatalis-tic approach to it?

07:57 <Cepheid> As Fatalis is basically top of the food chain, and World, while I haven't seen any story relating to him yet, seems to suggest that World is meant to end with some sort of "Ecology tries to wipe us out." thing.

07:58 * Dappled promises he's actually going to bed. but puns cannot be contained.

07:58 <ConfusionRift> Previous lore, it depicted Fatalis as a sign of major disaster or changing event. Something akin to the Ragnarok.

07:58 <Cepheid> Mmm.

07:58 <Cepheid> Which would fit in with what's implied in World.

07:59 <ConfusionRift> Yep, "time for a reset".

07:59 <Cepheid> Therefore, Fatalis could be seen as a test of humanity's ability to survive, in the context of the games.

07:59 <Cepheid> Humanity manages to come out on top despite it's apparent, supreme power.

07:59 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-mioavt.c2vi.m095.067c.2001.IP)

08:00 <ConfusionRift> With White Fatalis being the test of will after death, if I remember correctly.

08:01 <Cepheid> I wonder what kind of insane battles are planned for Rise.  Will they be doing all the arcane mechanics in that game as well?

08:02 <ConfusionRift> Lao Shan Lung 2: Redux, Because One Disaster Isn't Enough.

08:03 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh! It was back in Generations? I had no idea.

08:04 <ConfusionRift> Lao Shan Lung 3: Shuffle Harder!

08:05 <Cepheid> Heh.

08:08 <ConfusionRift> Capcom... do you think I didn't notice? That's the old model! You ported the old model to Generations! Cheap (bleep).

08:08 <Cepheid> Yep.

08:09 <Cepheid> It fits the aesthetics of Generations.

08:10 <ConfusionRift> It has the exact movements, jitter, and basically textures. And because generations runs at a faster FPS, the wonkiness is noticeable.

08:11 <Cepheid> It would have been better for them to fix up the skeleton, probably, and the textures a bit, yeah.

08:12 <ConfusionRift> At least make the model a bit sharper. It would make even the textures pop.

08:13 <ConfusionRift> ...that's also the old song.

08:14 <Cepheid> THAT is not a surprise.

08:14 <ConfusionRift> I know. I mean, Nargakuga's theme is back. But you can tell it was reworked. This... not so much.

08:16 * ConfusionRift feels a bit nostalgic.

08:18 <Cepheid> In World, yeah, a lot of the themes were reworked.

08:18 <Cepheid> In Generations, they used old world music.

08:18 <Cepheid> Because it's technically considered an old world game.

08:19 <ConfusionRift> Well, it's Generations. They went back.

08:19 <ConfusionRift> Oh sorry, you just said that. But still, that's cutting corners.

08:20 <ConfusionRift> Then again, Generations showed up pretty fast. Didn't even notice it showing up.

08:21 <Cepheid> Generations came out before World.

08:21 <Cepheid> At least, in Japan.

08:21 <Cepheid> We actually didn't get it for at least a year and a half.

08:22 <Cepheid> That's why, in comparison to World, it seems all backwards.

08:22 <ConfusionRift> I know. Just there are things that bother me, is all.

08:23 <Cepheid> In any case, it appears Rise is pulling from World, probably due to it's insane popularity.

08:26 * Cepheid looks at this oil processing location "... I.... what."

08:26 <Cepheid> The ratios are all wrong! o3o

08:33 <ConfusionRift> Mod mishap.

08:33 <ConfusionRift> ?

08:33 <Cepheid> Probably, but more likely an issue with reliance on blueprints others have made.

08:46 <Ali> Cepheid, if its the oil plant I put down

08:46 <Ali> It's not designed for the oil changes

08:46 <Ali> It works just fine for vanilla Oil 2

08:46 <Ali> But the mod added two types of oil processing and it makes too much heavy oil now

08:50 <Cepheid> In any case, I got a design that handles a single refinery using the heavy oil advanced oil processing.

08:51 <Cepheid> It'll process it into lubricant and petroleum.  If the lubricant backs up, it starts to process the heavy into light, and the extraneous light into petrol.

08:55 <Ali> Circuit networks, how I lothe them, makes my head hurt.

08:57 <Cepheid> The biggest issue with oil is that no matter what, sooner or later it'll get backed up.

08:58 <Cepheid> In order to keep processing everything, you either need massive storage facilities, or to start destroying goods.

09:04 <Cepheid> To avoid that, you're better off utilizing the products such that they are consumed in vast quantities by a single item, and then store *THAT* item in a silo somewhere, so that the density of the oil products to items is increased.

09:06 <Cepheid> I automated red belts by the by.

09:19 <Cepheid> And it works.

09:19 <Cepheid> Produces more lubricant than petroleum, so when the lubricant maxes out, it'll start filling up the petrol.  Which we can convert to sulfuric acid.

09:37 * Cepheid laughs maniacally as she wears the first Power Armor of the server.

09:41 <Ali> Now you need to fill it with lasers and just run around blasting the bugs off the planet

09:53 <Ali> WOuld it be like instant death and you'd lose everything on you

11:41 <Cepheid> Color codes for another client to parse, perhaps.

11:41 <Cepheid> Definitely not a standard IRC client.

11:46 <Koopz> they're also in #matrix-bridge

11:46 <TheAstrallyForged> .? We're plural. The markers indicate which of us is speaking.

11:46 <Cepheid> ,,,

11:46 <Cepheid> Okay then.

11:46 <TheAstrallyForged> .? We're also dealing with horseapples about this on another network right now, so

11:46 <Koopz> yep there's multiple people behind a single IRC account

11:48 <Koopz> and i'm not referring to the "Matrix" as in the movie https://matrix.org/

11:49 <TheAstrallyForged> .* There's a FAQ about our markers at https://mst3k.interlinked.me/@moonbolt/105353669326396313 .

11:55 <Koopz> ...

11:56 <Koopz> kay

11:58 <ConfusionRift> Same here. A lot to read, with a simple jest. A group within the same account. I get it, but... I'm just gonna scratch my head and walk away.

11:59 * ConfusionRift read a bit more below. "Oh... I see. Okay, it makes sense."

11:59 <Finwe> A group?

12:00 <Cepheid> I'll let the network admins deal with it if they so desire.

12:01 <ConfusionRift> A bit hard to explain. (points at the FAQs link) Just read the doc.

12:02 <RazorSharpFang> The easiest tl;dr might be "The self is plural"

12:02 <Koopz> i mean the presence in #matrix-bridge implying a matrix server setup with a bridge connection to IRC using a single account as proxy is suspicious

12:03 <ConfusionRift> It is, but it's harming no one at the moment. So it's fine.

12:03 <Koopz> ecch... lunch tiem

12:04 <RazorSharpFang> I've seen some Discord-IRC interop bots done that way.

12:05 <Lumindia> oh, a tulpa? or some other 'plural self' thing?

12:05 <ConfusionRift> Plural self, not tulpa. Tulpa is something else, to my understanding.

12:06 <RazorSharpFang> There are some interesting theories that the personality of persons breaks down into multiple subpersonalities that somehow need to reconcile, which puts a different light on internal conflict.

12:08 <Lumindia> I mean, I have a friend with a tulpa, and they use brackets to indicate that their tulpa is speaking

12:39 <RazorSharpFang> Oh, so it's not like, something complicated.

12:39 <Cepheid> No.

12:40 <RazorSharpFang> I was thinking of going nuclear

12:40 <Cepheid> It was so I had access to a lot of pipes to figure out a solution to the lubricant/petroleom oil issue.

12:40 <RazorSharpFang> Are we out of oil already?

12:40 <Cepheid> No.

12:41 <Cepheid> Just, we need lubricant, but I didn't want the system to backup and fail catastrophically when either or of the lubricant or petroleum gas were packed to capacity.

12:41 <RazorSharpFang> The usual setup is: Crack Heavy to Light only when Heavy-Oil greater than Light-Oil

12:41 <Cepheid> Unfortunately the only solution I can see is to expend the extra petrol on something that makes a LOT of use of it, and cram that product into a warehouse.

12:41 <Cepheid> Otherwise, no matter what, petrol will eventually get fully loaded and block production of other products.

12:42 <RazorSharpFang> It's not very typical in vanilla to use a lot of lubricant unless you're paving the ground in blue belts.

12:42 <Cepheid> We need it for electric engines.

12:42 <RazorSharpFang> Is it more than vanilla? Because it's not a lot in vanilla. There's also solid-fuel for power.

12:42 <Cepheid> Mmm.

12:44 <RazorSharpFang> ... A meteor landed right on top of a balancer.

16:43 <LibrarianofHope> i suddenly have to do much more work, in my usual high stress enviroment, and im not even getting a raise

16:43 <Heartbreak> Thank you.

16:43 * Heartbreak noogies LibrarianofHope.

16:43 * Finwe ruffles Heartbreak.

16:43 * LibrarianofHope puts a cork on HB's Hoof

16:46 <LibrarianofHope> im not happy abput this situation, its too much

16:48 * Lumindia noogies Heartbreak while they're distracted

16:49 * LibrarianofHope bonks lumindia for great justice

16:49 * Lumindia takes off every zig

16:50 * LibrarianofHope bonks HB for the heck of it

16:50 <LibrarianofHope> bonk

16:57 * Starlight_Glimmer just had Volkswagen Currywurst and it was delicious.

17:02 <Heartbreak> Heeeeeey! No!

17:02 * Heartbreak pulls the cork out puts the mug hook into it and drinks their hot coco.

17:02 <LibrarianofHope> you ate a car?

17:04 <Starlight_Glimmer> Heartbreak: The solution is called magic. Or use a straw, silly!

17:04 <Heartbreak> ...

17:04 <Heartbreak> I'm not drinking a -hot- liquid through a -straw-.

17:05 <Heartbreak> And I don't have a unicorn horn.

17:05 <Heartbreak> Heartacorn does.

17:05 <Starlight_Glimmer> Why's that?

17:05 <Heartbreak> -

17:05 <Heartbreak> Have you ever drank a hot liquid through a straw?

17:05 <Heartbreak> Wanna burn your lips and tongue?

17:05 <Heartbreak> Cause that's how you burn your lips and tongue.

17:05 <Starlight_Glimmer> I have glass straws. Reansonably hot liquid are not an issue.

17:06 <Heartbreak> I don't have glass straws.

17:06 <Heartbreak> Glass straws sound like a terrible idea.

17:06 <Starlight_Glimmer> They're great actually

17:07 <Heartbreak> What if they break?

17:07 <Starlight_Glimmer> I don't like metal straws. Plastic is just a waste. Paper straws don't hold up very well.

17:07 <Starlight_Glimmer> You're not supposed to chew on them, silly.

17:08 <Starlight_Glimmer> The likelihood of them breaking when used normally is practically non existent.

17:08 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean your drinking glass doesn't really break either unless dropped.

17:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> And I have dropped my straws on wood floor and no damage so far.

17:09 <Heartbreak> Are you sure?

17:11 * Starlight_Glimmer pat pats Heartbreak. "You're way too worried, silly Cuddlebreak!"

17:15 <Starlight_Glimmer> The only issue of any concern to me is cleaning. That being said I put them in the dish washer and only use brush thingies when I drink viscous stuff like yogurt through them. You can tell from the cleaning results if you don't that the water does reach inside, it just doesn't get all the residue out for more viscous stuff.

20:10 <Cepheid> Right, I don't think I can take 75+mg of seroquel.  I don't feel good when I do, and I don't mean with respect to sedation, as that's expected.  No, I mean with respect to "My heart feels like it's about to bust out of my ribcage going 'OH YEAH!'"

21:29 <Finwe> I was actually supposed to nom on Ali, but there is no Ali to nom on just now.

21:29 <Finwe> o3o

21:34 <LibrarianofHope> i find you lack of ali disturbing

21:35 * Angeline sits on Finwe's hat.

22:29 * Dappled made it to the S.S. Anne on his nuzlocke. Grinding up those trainers so I can take on Surge.

22:50 * Schism nuus, "My Clamato."

22:50 * Dappled doesn't know what that is, so is forced to imagine a cross between Clams and tomatos.

22:52 <Finwe> o3o

22:52 <Finwe> Mr Dappled, Miss Schism.

22:52 * Dappled waves.

22:52 * Finwe tries to doff his hat but fails because of Angeline sitting atop it.

22:54 <Schism> Dappled: It is tomato juice with clam juice.

22:55 * Dappled plants it in the ground to see what grows from it.

22:55 <Schism> While not typically found in the wild in the United States, it is popular both in Canada and Mexico.

22:56 * Schism passes Librarian a Sangre de Cristo.

22:58 <Finwe> Clamato is indeed tomato juice mixed with clam broth.

23:02 <Schism> While tempting to go down to Sobey's to get some cider, I don't think I'm going to bother.  Seems like a good way to kill myself slipping on ice.

23:03 <Finwe> One does not simply slip.

23:04 <Finwe> Proper boots will ensure this.

23:06 * Dappled chews on sticks.

23:06 <Schism> Finwe: I have some rather strong suspicions that you take better care of your sidewalks and pathways over there than we do.

23:06 * Dappled doesn't want to go to work. Mondays are the worst cause it's busiest of the week.

23:12 * Schism pats the Dappled. Offers chicken nuggets with honey.

23:18 * Lumindia has Japapeno Cheddar Bites

23:19 * Starlight_Glimmer rolls Lumindia in breading

23:19 * Lumindia is frickin' tasty

23:19 <Lumindia> O wO

23:21 <Finwe> Schism: We might. o3o

23:23 <Finwe> The proper boots I mentioned are ones with studded soles.

23:24 <Finwe> Almost impossible to slip in those, except of course on very hard surface like metal or stone where they actually decrease friction.

23:26 * Schism takes some chocolate fudge brownie ice cream from the freezer, and adds some chocolate syrup atop. "It is also tempting to crush a candy cane or two and add that."

23:28 <Starlight_Glimmer> Is that a treat or part of an evil plan to get everyone diabetes?

23:29 <Starlight_Glimmer> I have strawberry cheesecake ice cream in the freezer. I'm so glad this stuff is getting popular now.

23:29 <Schism> This is merely a treat.

23:30 <Starlight_Glimmer> I had lemon cheesecake ice cream once which was even better, but I can't find it anymore

23:32 <Schism> You mean like this?  http://www.foodiemisadventures.com/2014/04/lemon-cheesecake-ice-cream.html

23:35 * Schism crushed said candy cane. It works.

23:42 <LibrarianofHope> i need to make an administration system

23:50 <Lumindia> those are song lyrics

23:51 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

23:51 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Nuclear
