00:25 <Finwe> It's a snow spell. o3o

00:30 <Finwe> An acquaintance of mine up north reported -39°C today.

00:43 <Finwe> Fluffy foxen are being fuzzy.
00:46 * Finwe noms on Mort.
00:47 <Finwe> “Never trust a Grand Vizier”
00:48 <Finwe> In fact, the Sun Emperor didn't.
00:49 <Schism> When Cohen and the Golden Horde invaded the Empire, I think they said something to that extent.
00:49 <Schism> Silver*
00:51 <Golden> Hm
00:56 <Finwe> “The Vizier, whose name was Nine Turning Mirrors, had some very clear views about who should run the country, e.g., that it should be him, and now the boy was getting big enough to ask questions like “Don’t you think the wall would look better with a few gates in it?” and “Yes, but what is it like on the other side?” He had decided that in the Emperor’s own best interests he should be
00:56 <Finwe> painfully poisoned and buried in quicklime.”
00:57 <Cepheid> Hum, 6 areas, 2 nodes per area, 3 taps per node. That's 6 * 2 * 3 = 12 * 3 = 36. According to some probability stuff, I should expect an average of 9 successes per cycle.
00:57 <Schism> He was later replaced by Lord Hong (of the Hongs, not to be confused with the Sungs, Tangs, Fangs, and McSweeneys.)
00:57 <Cepheid> Course, probability being what it is..
00:58 <Schism> ("McSweeneys?" "Very old-established family.")
01:30 <Finwe> There was a Mad Sweeney in American Gods, eeenope?
01:44 <Cepheid> So I *MAY* have fired a nuke inside the base by accident.
01:46 <Cepheid> Hypothetically, if I did do it, the damage was at least easily repaired by the bots.

07:19 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
07:20 * Schism waves to Rifty, and provides a Beo weapon. Gotta get that lovely ice element.
07:21 <ConfusionRift> Niice. Get it? Nice has ice... I'll... be outside if you need me. Sorry. (walks out)
07:22 <ConfusionRift> Actually, that's not a bad idea; to make an ice weapon. Especially after the fight with Claymore T-Rex.
07:23 <Cepheid> Heh.
07:23 <Schism> Mostly I want a fairly strong ice weapon for when I finally go up against Black Diablos. Been putting that fight off after he ate me.
07:23 <Cepheid> Ice also factors into fighting the Golden Pole Dancer.
07:24 <ConfusionRift> And now I know.
07:24 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Ah... Black Diablos... have fun! (runs off)
07:24 <Cepheid> You need two weapons to fight Kulve properly.
07:25 <Cepheid> In her armored form, she's weak to one element. In her unarmored form, weak to another element.
07:25 <Cepheid> Thunder when armored, ice when unarmored.
07:26 <Cepheid> I wonder if Rise will have siege mechanics.
07:26 <ConfusionRift> I got a decent lightning weapon, not so much for ice, since Legiana is annoying.
07:27 <Cepheid> I mean, it's not CRITICAL, but given the nature of the siege and the MR version, it kind of helps a lot.
07:28 <Cepheid> You have a limited time to move her between phases, and if you run out of time, she escapes, and you get less rewards.
07:28 <ConfusionRift> So... basically... old elder dragon and giant monster fight mechanics.
07:29 <Cepheid> More or less.
07:30 <Schism> On consideration, what I _should_ do at some point is hunt a bunch of Noios.
07:30 <Cepheid> With the siege, it's less of an issue, because as long as you collect tracks, break parts and get research points, the pursuit level will go up. Go up high enough, and you basically get a scaler applied to your weapon damage.
07:30 <Cepheid> For, Schism?
07:30 <Schism> Screamer pods.
07:30 <Cepheid> You can meld them at the elder melder.
07:32 <ConfusionRift> Huh, interesting. You can also use screamers on non-affected monster to taunt them.
07:32 <ConfusionRift> But I believe, that a good placed cluster will get anyone's attention, AND ruin their day. :P
07:32 <Cepheid> Heh.

08:11 <Cepheid> Oh, and further interactions with meds. Basically, the sedative hits much harder than usual. Either that, or the combination of being sick and using a sedative is making it feel like it's hitting harder.\

17:34 <Cepheid> The rotation's every 2 weeks.
17:34 <Cepheid> Switches back and forth between Kulve and Safi
17:35 <Cepheid> They enacted this back in December, along with making all other event quests permanent, and rotating the festivals in and out.
17:35 * Schism nodnods.
17:36 * Finwe hats on AppleDash.
17:36 <Cepheid> This also makes the whole having to wait for certain monsters to appear a bit pointless. Just a bit.
17:36 <Cepheid> If you want to fight Zorah Magdaros or Xeno'jiiva in HR, you'll have to play the waiting game.
17:37 <Cepheid> The arch-tempered versions of both are available 24/7 now.
17:38 <Cepheid> As for the third 'wait for it to appear' monster, there's actually an event quest to fight it, and it's only slightly tougher. It also provides tickets to get the "Innerwear" layered armors.
17:39 * Cepheid wonders what the monster is for the buff ti- NOPE NOPE NOPE FRICK THAT!

19:20 <Schism> Cepheid: In a sense, actually _hunting_ the monsters instead of just going into the arena and poking them feels more fun...
19:20 <Cepheid> The arena versions are primarily for beating them up with unorthodox weaponry and easy parts
19:21 <Schism> True.
19:21 <Schism> Also, hum. A friend says that the greatsword in the Rise demo is... twitchy. Sound right?
19:21 <Schism> Well, a coworker.

19:33 <Cepheid> Hum.
19:33 <Cepheid> It's supposed to support passthrough but that doesn't seem to be working. Not sure if it's a power issue or a device issue.
19:36 <Cepheid> Could also be a linux issue.
19:36 <Cepheid> Getting a lot of warnings from the console.
19:36 <Cepheid> Ah, there it goes.
19:39 <Cepheid> Some light delay in the capture, but otherwise the passthrough works fine.
19:39 <Cepheid> Just need a solution for voice chat now.
19:39 <Cepheid> Which will involve mixing audio among other things.
19:44 <Cepheid> I'm gonna need the pro controller.
19:45 <Cepheid> Not quite sure how capcom pulled it off, but the water looks much better in Rise than it does in World.
19:54 <Cepheid> Hum..
19:54 <Cepheid> They sacrificed detail obviously, going from a PS4/XBox One X to the Switch with the World engine.
19:54 <Cepheid> But they managed to make up for it.
19:54 <Cepheid> They optimized the *YAY* out of it.

19:55 <Cepheid> Antidobra.
19:55 <Cepheid> It's a cobra that, rather than spitting poison, spits antidote.
19:57 <Cepheid> Deeefinitely need a pro controller as these joycons have developed *GASP* drift.
19:57 <Cepheid> Unless the Wii U pro controller can be used.

20:16 <Cepheid> Melynxes, and passive Felynes yeah.
20:16 <Cepheid> Ones you can attack.
20:16 <ADragonDreaming> It's not like World did away with the concept.
20:16 <ADragonDreaming> Gajalak and Boa-Boa are in it.
20:16 <ADragonDreaming> they are grimalkynes/felynes, just with full-body cover.
20:17 <Cepheid> True.
20:17 <Cepheid> Hum.
20:17 <Cepheid> So, wall running. You can either just straight up do it easily by running into vine-covered walls.
20:17 <ADragonDreaming> I think the only reason they didn't have Melynxes is because World takes placein a new continent.
20:18 <Cepheid> Or you can launch yourself to the wall with a wirebug and run. When you run out of stamina, you jump off. If you hit A, you can use the wirebug you LAST used as an anchor to hang from for a few seconds, restoring stamina. This stops said bug from recovering.
20:18 <Cepheid> From here, you can hit ZR+X or ZR+A to wirebug back to the wall, returning to climbing.
20:18 <Cepheid> Repeat until you run out of bugs or wall.
20:19 <Cepheid> I imagine there are going to be a lot of hidden areas to find as a result.
20:20 <Cepheid> They went back to the old fishing mechanics, and even added a proper icon to show where you can fish.
