02:35 <Cepheid> Nope.
02:36 <Cepheid> Your best bet for HR siege is to go find a session targeting her, and joining the one with the most players.

03:18 <Schism> If I'm going to take down Vaal Hazak a couple dozen times, after all...

04:21 <Cepheid> Huh, I just realized this was the first day since getting antibiotics that I didn't take tylenol.
04:21 <Cepheid> Which may be partly responsible for my current headache.
04:21 <Schism> Power outage in 9.5 hours, though. As per Ontario Hydro, who are clearly incapable of putting these notifications out more than a day ahead of time.
04:22 <Schism> Cepheid: Huh. Well, maybe you're stressed, too?
04:22 <Schism> Muscle stress, I mean.
04:24 <Schism> mnlergh. I'm going to sleep for a few hours and see how I feel after. For now, have a good night, folks. Dream of a poledancing dragoness.
04:36 <Cepheid> Well, I was mildly stressed by earlier. Much as I like fighting Kulve, it was teetering on ridiculous.
04:36 <Cepheid> I stopped primarily because something in my brain went "Something's not right." and my brain just told me to stop at that point.
04:37 <Cepheid> In any case I'll be out in 30 minutes or so. My seroquel seems to react strangely with amoxicillin.

06:14 <PinkieShy> Anyone of you a big fan of Anime movies?
06:14 <PinkieShy> If so you could probably help here.. If Spirited away blu-ray dvd combo version says it has English 5.1 DTS-HD does that mean it should be in the english language and not English SUB only
06:15 <ConfusionRift> English 5.1 DTS is audio, so it's in English.
06:15 <PinkieShy> So I won't have to be reading subtitles to watch?
06:16 <ConfusionRift> Spirited Away was translated.
06:16 * ConfusionRift has the DVD. Not Blu-Ray, but it's a similar principle.
06:16 <PinkieShy> So they have english speaking voice actors as well version?
06:18 <ConfusionRift> Yees.
06:19 <PinkieShy> ok
06:19 <ConfusionRift> There should be an option languages that has the original Japanese track and English translated. There's also the English subtitles, but you can leave them off.
06:20 <PinkieShy> Okay.. I was having a bit of Anxiety over the page saying "Dubbed: French and Japanese"
06:21 <PinkieShy> Didn't see English only saw english under Language section.. Confused the heck outta me :(
06:22 <ConfusionRift> If my regular DVD copy has both, it should be the same on the Blu-Ray version. Then again, it also depends on region, but I'm sure it's the same.
06:25 <PinkieShy> ConfusionRift this is the Combo pack so it has the Blu-Ray and DVD :)

14:41 <Heartbreak> Aaaaand you remembered that I like hoodies too.
14:42 <Starlight_Glimmer> And ... socks, maybe? :3
14:42 <Heartbreak> No.
14:42 <Heartbreak> Socks are stupid.
14:45 <Finwe> Stockings then?
14:45 * Finwe puts stockings on Heartbreak.
14:45 <Heartbreak> No!
14:45 <Finwe> !starlight time
14:45 * Heartbreak takes them off and throws them into a fire.
14:45 * Finwe bounces around in front of Starlight_Glimmer.
14:45 <Finwe> Starlight time! Starlight time!
14:46 <Heartbreak> It's confirmed. Finwe is now a little filly.
14:46 * Finwe happily noms on Heartbreak's tail.
14:46 <Heartbreak> Why else would they bounce around yelling Starlight time?
14:46 * Heartbreak places Finwe on Starlight's tail.
14:46 <Finwe> Because it's Starlight time?
14:47 <Heartbreak> Cause no. Ew.
14:47 <Heartbreak> Tails are near the rear.
14:47 <Heartbreak> I do washing and bathing, but fetting fet. No.
14:47 <Finwe> When it's Starlight time, you bounce around and yell, "Starlight time!"
14:47 <Heartbreak> Wrong. It's -hamtaro time-.
14:48 <Finwe> Pffft.
14:48 * Finwe restockings Heartbreak.
14:48 * Heartbreak takes them off, sets them on fire.
14:48 <Heartbreak> Burn! Burn! Fire! Fire! Yeah! FIRE! Burn the stockings!
14:49 * Cepheid wakens.
14:50 <Heartbreak> Or I could give them to Cepheid/Alice.
14:50 <Heartbreak> Alice would like the stockings.
14:50 <Heartbreak> Give them to Alice.
14:50 <Heartbreak> Along with all the dresses, makeup, and other things you want to 'gift' me.
14:52 <Cepheid> I would.
14:53 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, I died and can't get my power armor back. Think you could retrieve it for me?
14:53 <Cepheid> Sure.
14:53 <Finwe> Alice? Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?

17:26 <Cepheid> I don't.
17:26 <Cepheid> I keep telling my dad to tell me how to do taxes and such, but he always does them for me and insists.
17:27 <Schism> Ah. Why not take a look at your financial documents and try to solve them on your own, then have your dad double-check the work?
17:27 <Cepheid> I think I will this time around.
17:27 <Cepheid> The other part of it is he always uses tax software. I wouldn't mind knowing how to do it by hand just in case.
17:28 <Schism> A fair desire, to be sure. Admittedly, I do use tax software myself, but even then.
17:29 <Schism> Mostly, a simple tax form is just "Okay, here's what I made, here's what's been deducted, here are my expenses for medical, living, etc, tally it up, and here's what I owe or am owed."
17:31 <Cepheid> Plus, right now I want some more independence. Less reliance on parents to do everything.

I don't have a pressing reason to move out of my parents' house, and as time goes I think a lot of the responsibility for things can be transferred to me. As my parents age, too, I can already be in the position

20:27 <Finwe> I can't see what's wrong with eating pizza with a fork, although pizza sold as slices is probably designed to be eatent using bare hands.
20:27 * Cepheid screams as the professor starts talking about SIMD processing.
20:28 <Schism> The thing about New York-style pizza is that it is indeed meant to be eaten with one's bare hands. You fold the slice, you nom the slice.
20:28 <Cepheid> I have nightmares about trying to grasp how the RDNA2 processors work.
20:28 <Cepheid> I understand now, but damn it was interesting to comprehend.
20:28 <Finwe> I agree with Steward on the fact that one does not simply stack the slices on the plate, though.
20:29 <Schism> Quite: that's just a sign of a deranged mind.
20:29 <Finwe> I've had pizza in Italy where it was sort of discovered, and they served it whole on a plate and it was eaten using fork and knife.

21:06 <ADragonDreaming> I had a copy growing up.
21:07 <ADragonDreaming> And I was in Cote d'Ivoire, with very limited access to internet. So put a lot of time into the rather smaller games library available at the time.

21:11 <ADragonDreaming> Enrage gave temporary bonuses, with fatigue coming after, similar to Barbarian rage, and also had the little caveat of making you to immune to things like Imprisonment. A 9th level spell.
21:12 <ADragonDreaming> actually it has a whole laundry list of immunites.
21:13 <ADragonDreaming> fear, stun, charm, panic, sleep, morale break, confusion, maze, *level drain,* hold, paralyze, feeblemind, and imprisonment. Pure anger prevents almost any method of containing or debilitating the character.
21:14 <Schism> Protection against level drain? Yes please.
21:14 <ADragonDreaming> Mind, it lasts only 60 seconds.
21:14 <ADragonDreaming> But if you pull it off immediately and the caster throws imprisonment at you it's a "lol-nope"
21:15 <ADragonDreaming> with the only downside being 30 seconds of -2 to damage and THAC0 and +2 to AC after it wears off.
21:16 <Schism> That's not terrible at all.
21:18 <Finwe> I played as a mage previously, this time my main character is a priest of Tyr.
21:19 <ADragonDreaming> It's a little ridiculous, actually, since it's available from level 1.
21:20 <ADragonDreaming> The only other method of protection from Imprisonment that isn't itself magical is the High-Level Ability: Avoid Death. Which isn't available until you start going over the SoA level cap as a thief or bard, and is in some ways less useful.
21:22 <Finwe> There are a couple of demiliches that automatically cast imprisonment at one of your characters, preferably preceded by time stop.

21:41 <Finwe> The problem is, the treacherous Yoshimo left the party and he had all the equipment that could have been used by Imoen.
21:41 <Finwe> Well, she has to cope with AC -4 for the time being.
21:42 <Finwe> And no bow.
21:42 <Cepheid> Interesting, I cannot set a "push-to-talk" button.
21:42 <Cepheid> Ah well.
21:43 <Schism> This is why you take off all of Gafgarion's armor and weapons.
21:46 * LibrarianofHope gives a squig to Finwe
21:46 <LibrarianofHope> squigs are nice
21:47 <Schism> Is that a plush Mink?
21:47 <LibrarianofHope> a what now?
21:48 <Dappled> Mink, the Space Hamster!
21:48 * Dappled knows about Mink. Didn't play BG but knows of Mink.
21:48 <Finwe> LibrarianofHope: Is it oolated?
21:48 <LibrarianofHope> the squig?
21:48 <LibrarianofHope> nope, its demented
21:49 <LibrarianofHope> as in eat your face demented
21:49 <LibrarianofHope> nom nom nom
21:49 <Schism> Not that Mink -- rather, the Mink from DMFA.
21:49 <Finwe> Oolated squiggs have been a thing since 1946.
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> ahh
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> in my case is a warhammer thingy
21:50 <LibrarianofHope> short for squigly beast
21:50 * Dappled unhammers your war!
21:50 * LibrarianofHope throws more squigs at dappled
21:51 * Dappled flees into the distance.
21:51 * Lumindia boops Dappled's snootle
21:51 <Lumindia> Snoot Boop! O wO
21:52 <Finwe> The main producer of oolated squiggs in Duckburg are the Phishkisser Brothers.
21:53 * Dappled hopes we get a Duckburg level in Kingdom Hearts 4.
21:53 <LibrarianofHope> there will be a 4?
21:53 <Dappled> Probably.
21:53 <Schism> Sure, after KH3: Rebirth, KH3.5, KH3 Left Side, KH3 Edge of Oblivion, and KH3: This Time It's Personal.
21:54 <LibrarianofHope> kh3:edge of eternal darkness of inmortal wisdom's truth
21:54 <Cepheid> "Fixed that having more than 8'388'608 solar panels in the same electric network didn't work correctly." What the F-
21:54 <LibrarianofHope> sounds legit owo
21:54 <Cepheid> That's a bug fix for Factorio.
21:54 <Dappled> Maleficent and Pete spent 3 looking for a box that didn't show up at all until an end credits scene.
21:54 <Dappled> I'm almost certain that they're going to continue the series.
21:55 * Finwe finds a scroll of delayed blast fireball.
21:55 * Dappled sets the delay to 0
21:55 <Finwe> Things are getting hot for the enemies. o3o
21:55 <Schism> What sort of overflow error triggers at 8,388,608?
21:55 <Cepheid> None.
21:55 <Finwe> Signed something.
21:56 <Finwe> Signed 2^20?
21:56 <Cepheid> Even at 60kw of power, it's not enough to overflow a 32-bit integer.
21:56 <Schism> Tis an odd thread. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=89211
21:56 <Finwe> Sorry, 2^24.
21:56 <Cepheid> I can't really read it intensely.
21:57 <Schism> Oh, so it is. Hmm. 2^23.
21:57 <Cepheid> It's possible that it's a multiplication bug.
21:57 <Cepheid> Oh.
21:57 <Cepheid> It's converted to a float.
21:57 <Cepheid> So accuracy issue.
21:58 <Finwe> You'd use half of it to represent negative values and the other half for positive.
21:58 <Schism> We know how overflows work. o3o;
21:58 <Finwe> So upon reaching 8,388,608 the next number would be -8,388,607. o3o
21:59 <Cepheid> I don't feel good.
21:59 <Schism> As well as signed integers. That's not news to us! I was just like, 'why are they using 24 bits?'
21:59 <Finwe> Umm, no idea.

22:01 <Finwe> 24-bit computing hasn't been a thing in years.

22:02 <Finwe> Umm, except: "OpenCL has a built-in intrinsic for multiplication (mul24()) with two 24-bit integers, returning a 32-bit result. It is typically much faster than a 32-bit multiplication."

22:04 <Cepheid> If you want to keep memory usage down, you use interesting approaches to keep it down.
22:04 <Cepheid> THe upper 8 bits could have been used for something else.
22:04 <Schism> True. Well, now they won't be. o3o
22:05 <Cepheid> But it seems weird still, even from that perspective.

22:18 <Cepheid> I want to lay down, but I'm in the middle of a lecture.
22:18 <Angeline> Schism, you forgot KH3: Rebirth By Naptime/351
22:18 <Angeline> like, come on
22:18 <Angeline> are you even paying attention to the timeline
22:19 * Angeline points to a gigantic, skyscraper-sized corkboard full of yarn, random pieces of paper, and tacks. So many tacks.
22:20 <LibrarianofHope> its all darkness really
22:20 <LibrarianofHope> switch every third word with darkness
22:20 * Dappled fully expects more Marvel Super Heroes in future Kingdom Hearts games. We already had Big Hero 6.
22:20 <Angeline> You know what I think KH's continuance needs?
22:20 <Angeline> Less Disney Advertising hand-holding mode
22:21 <Angeline> More Squeenix influence
22:21 <Dappled> Yes. Bring in the best Square RPG Characters!
22:21 <Angeline> Dappled, can you imagine a KH4 Ramza
22:21 * Dappled waits to team with Mario, Peach, Geno, and Mallow.
22:21 <Dappled> Who?
22:21 <Angeline> :|
22:21 <Angeline> Ramza Beoulve
22:22 <Schism> You know, that blond kid from the FF14 Ivalice quests.
22:22 <Angeline> https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/1/19/Ramza_Beoulve.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180101193932
22:22 <Angeline> Schism, Return To Ivalice friggin' broke me
22:22 <Angeline> I was a weeping, sobbing mess when I finished it
22:22 * Dappled points out that FF14 is an MMO and even if I play those, I'm not likely to get anywhere in them.
22:22 <Angeline> Dappled, Ramza's the main character from Final Fantasy's best game
22:22 <Angeline> Tactics
22:23 * Dappled thought you named the Main Character in Tactics
22:24 <Dappled> Also I haven't touched Tactics since the PSP.
22:24 <Angeline> https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/7/7a/Ramza.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080203052056
22:24 <Angeline> :|
22:24 <Angeline> War of the Lions is such an amazing remake
22:24 <Dappled> He doesn't have a NOSE!
22:25 <Angeline> Anyway, I only have like
22:25 * Dappled shoves Groucho Marx glasses onto his face.
22:25 <Angeline> 25 years of Ramza fangirling here
22:25 * Dappled checks to see if Tactics came out when he was 6.
22:26 <Angeline> June 20, 1997
22:26 <Dappled> Wow.
22:26 * Dappled 's impressed.
22:26 <Angeline> So technically speaking, only 23 years, but whatever
22:26 * Schism steals Gafgarion's blood sword. Tee hee.
22:27 <Dappled> That's only 3 years before the greatest JRPG ever made was released.
22:27 <Angeline> Seven shadows cast, seven fates foretold. Yet at the end of the broken path lies death, and death alone!
22:28 * Dappled loves Skies of Arcadia and will die on this hill.
22:28 * Dappled glares at Sega. Give Remake!
22:29 * Angeline bap Dappled. Best strategy RPG is Tactics. End of discussion.
22:29 <Angeline> Best JRPG is Suikoden
22:29 <Schism> Angeline: Paper Mario wasn't _that_ good...
22:29 <Schism> Oh, Suikoden.
22:29 * Dappled 's never even hear of Suikoden!
22:30 <Angeline> This is the main character for it
22:30 <Angeline> https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/suikoden/images/0/08/Tirmcdohl01.gif/revision/latest?cb=20110414222457
22:30 <Angeline> Tir McDohl
22:30 <Dappled> And as someone who's only ever beaten one JRPG, my opinion is clearly the correct one.
22:30 <Schism> Dappled: Triple Triad will always be better than Tetra Master.
22:30 <Angeline> Only one JRPG beaten
22:30 <Angeline> Sheesh.
22:30 <Angeline> Look at this poser pony
22:31 * Angeline hats on Dappled with a whopping four JRPGs beaten.
22:31 * Dappled doesn't know who Triple Triad or Tetra Master are.
22:31 <Angeline> Card games from FF games
22:31 <Angeline> Think Tetra Master is 8?
22:31 <Angeline> Er
22:31 <Angeline> 7
22:31 <Angeline> Triple Triad is 8
22:31 <Schism> Tetra Master is 9, Triple Triad is 8. 7 just had chocobo racing.
22:31 <Angeline> Or vice-versa
22:31 <Angeline> ah
22:31 <Angeline> Well
22:31 <Angeline> I never beat them so
22:31 <Dappled> Look, I keep meaning to getting around to beating Super Mario RPG, but it takes time to beat them.
22:31 <Dappled> Wait, do we count Pokemon? Those seem like JRPGs.
22:31 <Angeline> Dappled, listen to this
22:32 * Dappled can count a couple more.
22:32 <Angeline> In Suikoden, you're the son of a king's general
22:32 <Angeline> You live a lovely life with a literal manservant named Gremio and your best friend, Ted.
22:33 <Angeline> You go beat up some bandits with them and your kinda-sorta-friends, kinda-sorta bodyguards, Pahn and Cleo.
22:33 <Angeline> Then everything goes butts up
22:33 * Dappled checks tradition JRPG tropes... So that must mean your hometown and family die.
22:34 <Schism> And from there, you must collect one hundred and eight MacGuffins--er, characters.
22:34 <Dappled> OH god! That's to many characters.
22:35 * Dappled pictures a sphere grid for each character.
22:35 <Angeline> The best part is, if you want the good ending
22:35 <Angeline> You can't let any of those 108 die
22:36 <Angeline> But Dappled, if you don't play Suikoden
22:36 <Angeline> Gengen will be sad.
22:36 <Angeline> https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/suikoden/images/b/be/Gengen01.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/246?cb=20100220031300
22:38 <Angeline> Also, back on tangent of FF14's Return To Ivalice content
22:38 <Angeline> Schism, you want to hear a real nod to the original Tactics
22:39 <Dappled> Okay, but in Skies of Arcadia you team up with Captain Ahab on his quest to get the whale.
22:39 <Angeline> In the original Tactics, the skill that destroyed accessories was 'Icewolf Bite'. Its activation quote was 'Disaster cries out to smash all... Icewolf Bite!'
22:39 <Angeline> In WOTL, it was renamed Crush Accessory, and given a new quote: 'Hark! The screams of ruin rise above the storm's discord. Shudder not in her endless cold.'
22:39 <Angeline> This is the quote that TG Cid uses in 14.
22:39 <Angeline> However
22:40 <Schism> Aha. o3o
22:40 <Angeline> It's an add phase, and the adds are, aptly enough, named 'Icewolf'
22:40 <Schism> I do recall that phase, yes.
22:40 * Schism also bleh. "I need sleep again. Took nyquil, and that's laying me out."
22:41 * Finwe encounters a group of mummies.
22:42 <Finwe> No problem, my main character being level 28 priest the solution is just dash into the group and see them disintegrate before your eyes as you turn undead. o3o
22:42 <Angeline> Schism, I just loved everything about Return To Ivalice
22:42 * Finwe hats on Angeline.
22:42 <Angeline> Like I said, I have almost 25 years of nostalgiaaaa
22:42 * Dappled really should get around to beating FF1.
22:42 * Angeline goes squish. Little fillies do not make good places to hat for full-grown ponies.
22:44 * Dappled thinks he'll beat all the Final Fantasies in order so that he'll finally understand the story in the later ones /s.
22:46 <Schism> Angeline: Even the bacon bread?
22:47 <LibrarianofHope> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo-d5DD-qnY
22:47 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
22:47 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about FOX KAWAII SONG
22:47 <LibrarianofHope> gonna leabe that there, cause owo
22:48 * Finwe is a magical pony, meaning that he can actually polymorph into a hat, not just nest upon somepony's head pretending to be a hat.
22:48 <Finwe> o3o
22:48 <Finwe> So no danger of getting squished.

22:59 <Dappled> Yeah, but I'm playing Gen 3.
22:59 * Cepheid flops and melts through the floor.
22:59 <Dappled> Flame Wheel could easily be on the level up lists.
22:59 <Schism> Only for Growlithe.

23:01 * Schism provides Angeline and Dappled the arcade light-gun Jurassic Park.
23:01 <Dappled> Oh yeah!
23:02 <Angeline> But Schism, why would I wanna hurt the dinosaurs
23:02 <Angeline> :(
23:03 <Schism> Ali: Indeed, can't place sprinklers on sand...
23:03 <Angeline> So don't plant normal crops?
23:03 <Ali> Well they introduced a better water reataining soil thing

23:31 <Cepheid> Yeah, there was a bunch of rapid updates after 1.1.9.
