01:34 <Cepheid> They're for homework, so nothing spectacular.
01:45 <Schism> Oh, sure thing. Sorry, was a bit idle there.
01:49 <Cepheid> Nah, it's fine.
01:49 <Cepheid> Not in a rish.
01:49 <Cepheid> Let me just find the page in this mess of mine.
01:49 <Cepheid> Right, remember, keep it simple. Don't go into too great a detail.
01:50 <Cepheid> First question, what kind of music do you listen to?
01:52 <Schism> A mixture! Some classical, some rock, lots of game music.
01:52 <Cepheid> 2) What do you dislike doing?
01:59 <Schism> Hmm...
02:00 <Schism> Sports, or answering questions which the person asking already knows the answer to.

02:03 <Cepheid> 3) Last weekend, what did you do?
02:03 <Schism> Slept a lot.
02:03 <Cepheid> Slept it is!
02:03 <Cepheid> I answer that a lot to that question too.
02:03 <Cepheid> When you were a kid, were you a good kid?
02:04 <Cepheid> Expect a lot of "When you were a kid..." questions. This chapter just seems to go crazy with them.
02:04 <Schism> Nope, I was a little brat.
02:06 <Cepheid> When you were a kid, were you tall?
02:06 <Schism> Not really.
02:06 <Cepheid> When you were a kid, did you like school?
02:07 <Schism> Nope!
02:07 <Cepheid> When you were a kid, where did you live? This one seems a little personal, so feel free to give a fake answer.
02:07 <Cepheid> I am not kidding about the "When you were a kid..." thing.
02:08 <Schism> Hah. Let's say... 'with my parents'.
02:09 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2411 [ https://tinyurl.com/y44kb32o ]
02:09 <Cepheid> THat works.
02:09 <Cepheid> When you were a kid, what did you frequently do?
02:10 <Schism> Played video games.
02:10 <Cepheid> Damnit.
02:10 <Cepheid> That was going to be the topic of the last question for me, which is "Make your own question?"
02:10 <Cepheid> Fine.
02:10 <Cepheid> When you were a kid, did you read books a lot?
02:11 <Schism> Yes!
02:11 <Finwe> Indeed.
02:11 <Cepheid> That's the last question, so I got all my answers.
02:11 <Cepheid> Just need to transcribe them to Japanese, now. Thank you kindly, Schism.
02:11 * Schism nodnods. "Welcome!"
02:14 <Cepheid> In my case, let's see... video game music. I dislike doing homework for the university. I played Factorio all last weekend. I was not a good kid(Though the parents will argue that). I was tall as a kid. I hated school. I lived in Cornwall during my childhood. I played a lot of video games as a kid. And I read books late into the evening, much to my parent's displeasure.
02:19 <Cepheid> The "was I a good child?" thing is mostly just a more, unconstrained version of what you folks see now and then out of me. I lose my temper, I go on a rampage. Just, being a small kid, my parents dealt with me simply by holding me back out of fighting range.
02:20 <Cepheid> Makes me wonder if that temper is the same one I have now, and that it could have been dealt with using medication instead of something ridiculous, like saying that it happened because I drank ORANGE JUICE OF ALL THINGS.
02:21 <Schism> Orange juice. Yeah... medication might have been slightly better than a wild guess like that.

05:21 <Cepheid> Ah.
05:22 <Cepheid> Well, that kinda makes sense. If bugs are some threat percentage on a planet or moon, then that percentage has to affect bug generation, which means Space Exploration is ignoring the settings.

17:53 <Schism> Hum~ Doctor's appointment again this week. I'm glad I'm not waiting weeks upon weeks between them.
17:53 <Schism> Appointment today, I should say.
17:57 <Cepheid> I am very tired myself, ADragonDreaming
18:02 <Cepheid> Ah, remote building in Factorio. I plastered the space platform in roboports, so now I don't have to go to space every time I want to build something. Just need to deliver parts, if any.

18:09 <Cepheid> Creates some interesting problems to solve though.
18:15 <Schism> Yup, as always getting twitchy before the appointment. Yerf.
18:15 <LibrarianofHope> they are moving along the story of Age of Sigmar, including my goblins owo
18:26 <Cepheid> Now to create another staggering 3500 science cards to make the remaining packs I need to get to Spidertron.
18:26 <Cepheid> Then from thereon out, bug murder. Lots of bug murder.
18:31 <Cepheid> Lumindia_, you're a fan of Pekora, as I understand it. Can you explain what the hell is up with people writing out her laugh using up and down arrows mixed in?
18:32 * Cepheid starts automated production of rockets for spidertron. o3o
18:35 <Cepheid> So Schism, I tried an experiment. I do not advise it.
18:35 <Cepheid> I decided to see how a coffee with nesquik would taste. Bad idea. BAAAAAD IDEA.
18:48 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)
18:51 <Cepheid> Logically, I do not see the point of assigning homework from a textbook or workbook.
18:51 <Cepheid> The existence of answer keys, and people writing their own answer keys, makes them moot.
18:51 <Cepheid> If you are a teacher, unfortunately, the reality is that you should be writing your own questions and assigning them as homework, for the sake of making sure students don't just look up the answer keys.
18:52 <Schism> Cepheid: Depends on the coffee. Sometimes Nesquik is the only thing that makes it even slightly palatable.
18:52 <Cepheid> Mmm.
18:52 <Schism> And I'm one of those weird mutants who puts Ovaltine in their coffee.
18:52 <Cepheid> It may be the lack of creamer that's making this one unpalatable.
18:52 <Schism> Oh, yeah, you want some fats in there.
18:52 <Cepheid> I haven't had ovaltine in a while.
18:53 * Cepheid downs the rest of the coffee and visibly cringes and shivers and appears ready to vomit.
18:53 <Schism> Well, doctor's appointment worked out okay. Typical 'okay, let's dive into your mental health history', and I was like, 'No, again, I haven't had any real suicidal thoughts, every time I briefly consider something like that it bounces off a no-shaped wall.'
18:54 <Cepheid> I have to report such things, myself.
18:54 <Cepheid> And yes, I have told them, and yes, it's distressed them.
18:54 <Cepheid> On top of telling them that I would just watch the university burn down with or without people in it screaming.
18:55 <Schism> Mm. And such things aren't an entirely negative result in regards to HRT anyway...
18:55 <Cepheid> I might save the animals on the campus, but that's about it.
18:55 <Cepheid> Technically I don't think suicidal thoughts are either. Especially if the thoughts are in respect to your assigned/current physical gender.
18:56 <Cepheid> Charon/Cheryl has made a new friend.
18:57 <Schism> Pfff. Delilah is adorable.
18:58 <Schism> That sudden smile reminds me of paxiti.
18:58 <Schism> Pas*
18:58 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:59 <Cepheid> Pas has been quiet as of late, I noticed.

19:01 <Cepheid> Oh, I'm sure.
19:01 <Cepheid> Just idle commentary is all.
19:01 <Schism> Doctor: "So, do you have many trans/nonbinary friends online?" Me: "...yes." (As I try not to break out into laughter.)

19:26 <LibrarianofHope> so that happened owo
19:28 <LibrarianofHope> i wonder if they will try again
19:29 <Cepheid> Hum.
19:29 <Cepheid> While practicing a lot of stuff, I took a lot of damage from Mizu.
19:29 <Cepheid> But after practice and starting to get serious, it's as I thought.
19:30 <Cepheid> The monster is "too slow" for me.
19:30 <Cepheid> I see attacks coming seconds in advance because I'm used to the higher-speed actions from G-Rank/Master Rank MHWorld.
19:31 <Schism> That's what happens every time, it seems. At least you'll be able to kill them faster to get to the end.
19:31 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
19:31 <Cepheid> Though the Rise demo is really not equipped to handle a Mizu.
19:31 <Cepheid> The damage output is excessive.
19:31 *** Joins: WildSoft_ (WildSoft@Pony-n65hur.bredband.comhem.se)
19:31 <Cepheid> I did learn a few things though. Wirebug jump attack, for example.
19:31 <Schism> Seems another good way to get mounting done.
19:31 <Cepheid> Hit R+A or R+X, and then attack.
19:31 <Cepheid> Mounting's gone, it seems.
19:32 <Cepheid> At least, in the conventional sense.
19:32 <Cepheid> They replaced it with a different mechanic that combines mounting and clutch claw.
19:32 <Cepheid> Wyvern Riding.
19:32 <Cepheid> Basically, apply certain wirebug attack skills to the monster, and it'll enter a special staggered state.
19:32 <Cepheid> From there, you can mount the monster and control it.
19:32 *** Quits: WildSoft (WildSoft@Pony-n65hur.bredband.comhem.se) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
19:32 *** WildSoft_ is now known as WildSoft
19:33 <Cepheid> Your controls and time for control are a bit limited though. All actions cut down on that time.
19:33 <Schism> This seems it will be fun. :>
19:33 <Cepheid> It does make doing wall-slams easier, though.
19:33 <Schism> If that's your goal. Point it at a wall, jump off just before... bet you can't do it more than three times, though, per large monster.
19:33 <Cepheid> You got one action that basically does just that. You send the monster flying forward. If it hits a wall or a player with a shield up, it'll do wall damage.
19:34 <Cepheid> You don't fall off if you ram it.
19:34 <Cepheid> In fact, you can recover from the ram strike.
19:34 <Cepheid> And if you do, you can DO IT AGAIN.
19:34 <Schism> Huh. That seems... well, okay, if you can pull it off that's fair.
19:34 <Cepheid> I'm assuming the damage is much reduced as a result.
19:34 <Cepheid> It still knocks the monster down for several seconds though afterwards.
19:34 <ADragonDreaming> I did play the Rise Demo a bit
19:35 <Schism> Well, they're not ramming the wall from halfway across the arena. Point them in the other direction, have them run into the wall THERE after a long charge, and I bet it does more damage.
19:35 <ADragonDreaming> Did the basic movement tutorial and the one beginner hunt
19:35 <ADragonDreaming> I'll likely leave it alone now, though. Wait for the game.
19:35 <Cepheid> Schism: The charge has limited range, I'm assuming that it does the same damage regardless of distance.
19:35 <Cepheid> Mmhmm, same.
19:35 <Cepheid> I just wanted to see how a stronger monster fared with me.
19:36 * Dappled chews on sticks.
19:36 <Cepheid> The armor sets are not geared for a Mizu, as the damage output is much higher than it should be.
19:36 <Cepheid> Of note, healing seems to work a bit differently.
19:36 <Cepheid> It's still the slow recovery, but there's a portion of the health bar that's recovered immediately. Unless that's an armor skill thing.
19:36 * Schism randomly throws a pepperoni stick across the channel.
19:36 * Dappled chases!
19:37 <Dappled> Also is it the old style of potion drinking?
19:37 * Schism doesn't expect Dappled to bring it back, though. They're just tasty.
19:37 <Cepheid> No.
19:37 <Dappled> Stand still and pose?
19:37 <Cepheid> World style.
19:37 <Dappled> Yay!
19:37 <Cepheid> You walk while drinking.
19:37 <Cepheid> Most of the mechanics from World have been retained.
19:37 <Cepheid> Including walking reload, walking aim for bows and bowguns.
19:37 <ADragonDreaming> thankfully.
19:37 <Cepheid> Some attacks were removed, though.
19:37 * Dappled is much more likely to get Rise.
19:37 <Cepheid> For example, I can no longer do the forward slash, overhead slash, forward slash, repeat combo.
19:37 <ADragonDreaming> You know what the Temporal mantle remind me of, Cepheid?
19:38 <ADragonDreaming> Adept Style from Generations.
19:38 <Cepheid> The dodge art from Generations?
19:38 <ADragonDreaming> yeah
19:38 <Cepheid> Yeah, basically.
19:38 <Cepheid> That's what the mantles were.
19:38 * Dappled wishes for the return of styles though.
19:38 <ADragonDreaming> Same.
19:38 <Cepheid> There's no way to tell if they returned or not.
19:38 <Cepheid> The demo limits what you can check,
19:38 <Cepheid> You can't even check what gear you're equipped with.
19:38 <ADragonDreaming> I have doubts they have.
19:38 <Cepheid> Hard to say.
19:39 <ADragonDreaming> It feels like they would have trailered it
19:39 <Cepheid> The producer of Rise is the same that did Generations. And, I admit there is that.
19:39 <Cepheid> But then, they are still 3 months out for release, so who knows what else will come?
19:39 <ADragonDreaming> Like, the styles are the only thing I can think of that would get me to play Generations again
19:39 <Cepheid> Honestly, one thing that I'm curious to see is the map for the Frozen Islands.
19:39 <Cepheid> It's called a collection of Islands, but the videos I've seen of the place..
19:40 <ADragonDreaming> I looked at it briefly when testing switch things out, remembered the old way of skill-handling and gemming and went "ugh"
19:40 <Cepheid> The place reminds me heavily of the Tundra from Tri.
19:40 <Cepheid> I'm still gonna go through Generations, myself. I at least want to fight Nakarkos' full battle.
19:40 <Cepheid> Instead of the watered down version acting as the High Rank barrier.
19:40 <Cepheid> I'm also concerned about one other detail with Rise.
19:41 <Cepheid> How is armor being handled? I'm hoping they retained the World style, but thus far every armor set they've shown off has been... difficult to interpret.
19:41 <Cepheid> They typically show two characters, one equipped as a blademaster, the other equipped as a gunner.
19:41 <Cepheid> But they've been getting worse with it as of late.
19:42 <Cepheid> Now they show one as male, either blademaster or gunner, then one as female, either blademaster or gunner.
19:42 <Cepheid> But never the same classification.
19:42 <Cepheid> The devs are being mean.
19:45 <Schism> Capcom have been at least _slightly_ reasonable when it comes to this sort of thing. I don't think they're going to limit classes/weapons by gender.
19:45 <Cepheid> Yeah, gender won't be an issue.
19:45 * Dappled has an issue with the gender!
19:45 * Dappled desires both armor sets to be available to both genders.
19:46 <Schism> That would also be nice, yes.
19:46 <Cepheid> That'd be nice, yes. Not impossible, either.
19:46 <Dappled> Let me crossdress dang it!
19:46 <Cepheid> Dappled, if you want that, poke their Twitter account and recommend it?
19:46 <Cepheid> I can't see it being a difficult change to make.
19:46 <Cepheid> Just a switch of which gendered armor part to use.
19:47 <Dappled> What? But I'm doing the tradtional gamer thing.
19:47 <Schism> Well, different skeletons and different models. It would be a bit tricky to get certain armour sets working with different body shapes.
19:47 <Dappled> You know, where we complain about things that we want in places where the devs are never likely to see.
19:48 <Schism> No, I'd like to see some male characters showing off their bellies like the female ones, dressed in the Kulve Taroth-F set.
19:48 <Dappled> In fairness, they didn't exactly have a large amount of skeletons and models for hunters in past games, no need to think that they are increasing that.
19:48 <Cepheid> I think the skeletons for the hunters, regardless of gender, are the same.
19:48 <Cepheid> At least, I didn't notice any visible difference in walking.
19:49 <Schism> Hmm. Maybe possible with some alterations to the mesh.
19:50 <Schism> I'd argue against the idea that this might result in such silliness as male characters wearing Chun Li outfits, but the commander of the fleet could rock that.
19:51 <Schism> (And also there's no reason why there shouldn't be such an option.)
19:51 <Cepheid> Fun note.
19:51 <Cepheid> There's a mod for the PC version to make Rajang the Admiral.
19:52 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCnBKAh1eQo Spoilers for Schism, possibly.
19:52 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
19:52 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Monster Hunter World but Rajang is The Admiral, The Player is Rajang & The Handler is Mr X
19:53 * Schism imagines Rajang in a Chun Li outfit. "... yeah, that tracks."
19:53 <Cepheid> Unfortunately that'd require custom modelling.
19:53 <Cepheid> But I can see people doing it.
19:53 <Cepheid> Given people have added custom layered armors to the game.
19:53 <Schism> People are crazy when it comes to mods. No question. Ah well.
19:54 <Cepheid> There are some pretty impressive layered armor mods out there. And yes, that includes the expected.... saucy mods.
19:55 * Dappled doesn't think they would spaghetti mods.
19:55 <Cepheid> For Rise, no. World? Capcom doesn't care.

20:56 <Cepheid> Pollution can be reduced to -80%.
20:56 <Cepheid> And efficiency modules reduce pollution directly.
20:56 <Ali> Yes I get that
20:57 <Ali> But an Effiecient 1 is -40%
20:57 <Cepheid> Ah, right.
20:57 <Cepheid> So two will suffice for power.
20:57 <Cepheid> The rest is just pollution reduction.
20:57 <Ali> Yeah I had that WTF moment myself when I thought of it and felt stupid
20:57 <Cepheid> Put in 2 threes and 3 speed module 1s.
20:58 <Ali> Also why does the cargo rocket need so much dang fuel just for space?
20:58 <Cepheid> Because gravity.
20:58 <Cepheid> It's the fuel required to exceed escape velocity and so on.
20:59 * Dappled tries to get that shiny Tauros.
20:59 <Ali> Also my logic bots are crashing on nauvis, very annoying
20:59 <Cepheid> There's a research for that.
20:59 <Cepheid> Swarm Safety
20:59 * Ali sits on Dappled and make sure they get shitty raid partners
20:59 <Cepheid> Comes after Logistic System.
20:59 <Cepheid> For every level in it, you can run another 500 bots before attrition starts causing damage.
20:59 *** Joins: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-r92.hp5.207.187.IP)
21:00 <Cepheid> Otherwise, just use circuitry to monitor the bot count on the network, and configure a producer to add more bots as needed.
21:01 <Ali> I made the mistake on my bus area that I half belted copper wire to green circuits
21:02 <Ali> I can't keep 8 greens running cause of that.
21:02 <Cepheid> Also, my advice? Once you get up to space and set up an initial landing pad, set up a roboport, put in a bunch of bots, and basically just do everything using the satellite view. The only thing you can't do is install modules, but..
21:02 <Ali> They can't be used in space
21:02 * Dappled ponders that Dyson Sphere game that just dropped on steam. Yeah, yeah, early access and all that.
21:02 <Cepheid> Work fine on my end.
21:03 <Cepheid> Got over a thousand bots in space.
21:03 <Cepheid> The Swarm Safety seems to prevent crashing.
21:03 <Ali> Was refering to modules
21:03 <Cepheid> Ah, modules do work.
21:03 <Cepheid> Beacons don't.
21:03 <Ali> The only space thing that can use modules is the science lab
21:03 <Cepheid> You can't use productivity.
21:03 <Cepheid> Uh...
21:03 <Cepheid> No.
21:04 <Cepheid> The assemblers, the chem facilities, they all support modules.
21:04 <Cepheid> Just not productivity.

21:05 <Cepheid> Productivity are for intermediates only, and for some reason, intermediates don't allow them in space.
21:05 <Cepheid> You can only use speed and efficiency.
21:06 <Ali> Right now I'm a bit more worried about basic materials than I am space
21:06 * Dappled glares at Ali.
21:06 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
21:06 * Ali wavies at Dappled
21:06 * Dappled got into a raid with a shiny tauros and there's a solrock on the team.
21:06 <Cepheid> Get automated rocket parts going for cargo rockets.
21:06 <Cepheid> Even if it's slow as molasses.
21:06 <Ali> Most ore patches are too small for my liking
21:07 * Ali sits on Dappled and spams Cosmic Power the entire fight.
21:07 <Ali> Cepheid, I have just such a thing going.
21:07 <Cepheid> Then you'll be golden for the future, once they build up.
21:07 <Ali> Was up to around 33 parts in the cargo rocket
21:07 <Dappled> It used rock polish!
21:07 <Cepheid> Do the robot thing up there, and then just deliver stuff via rockets when you need it.
21:08 <Ali> And started fueling it
21:08 <Ali> I do have one question
21:08 <Ali> Why do they give you deep space belts but barely enough for anything
21:08 <Cepheid> My guess?
21:08 <Ali> And they give you a fancy radar pylon, but can't make one yourself cause its super late game.
21:08 <Cepheid> To encourage you to go for that.
21:09 <Ali> Deep space belts are like...end game
21:09 <Cepheid> Because the deep space belts are FAST.
21:09 <Cepheid> I know, I know.
21:09 <Cepheid> You can get more through launching a satellite on other planets and moons, I would assume.
21:10 <Ali> I might choose this volcanic planet first instead of space just to be able to farm its resources.
21:10 <Cepheid> As for the slowness of space research, exploration indicates it can get faster over time.
21:10 * Dappled holds up Shiny Taurus.
21:10 * Ali jellies on Dappled
21:10 * Dappled collapses under heavy pokemon.
21:11 <Cepheid> Do keep in mind space research can only be done in orbits.
21:11 <Dappled> I mean it's a green shiny, so meh.
21:11 <Ali> Yes yes I know
21:11 <Cepheid> But yes, using other planets to fuel the research is not a bad idea.
21:11 <Ali> The thing is I'm just worried I don't have enough stuff to be able to keep things running
21:12 <Ali> Like Nauvis's ore patches are pathetically small
21:12 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
21:12 <Cepheid> Use a core driller to keep things moving.
21:12 <Cepheid> It's how we manage on resource shortages here.
21:12 <Ali> I can't, power can keep it online and run the rest of the base too
21:13 <Ali> can't*
21:13 <Cepheid> Mmm.
21:13 <Ali> I've still got a steel line that's using fuel along with boiler power
21:13 * Dappled hugs the Angeline.
21:13 <Cepheid> In any case, I need to run.
21:13 <Dappled> Friend pony.
21:13 <Cepheid> I got class in 15, and I'm gonna join early to be pestered by the prof.
21:13 * Ali nibbles on the Dappled ear
21:14 * Angeline whickers softyl.
21:14 * Dappled hugs Ali too for being a friend pony.
21:14 <Schism> Biden&Harris want to abolish private prisons... huh.
21:15 * Dappled really hopes that one goes through.
21:15 * Schism NODS the crap, her head is like a bobble.
21:19 * Finwe noms on tuna salad.
21:20 * Dappled plays his favorite JRPG.
21:22 <Finwe> Which one is that?
21:22 <Finwe> Final Fantasy?
21:22 <Dappled> Skies of Arcadia.
21:22 <Finwe> Oh.
21:22 <Finwe> o3o
21:23 * Dappled plays an emulated version of the Gamecube cause can't access the DLC for the dreamcast one.
21:23 * Dappled also remembers that Dreamcast games had DLC. Wild.
21:29 <Cepheid> Heh.
21:29 <Cepheid> I want to play that game.
21:29 <Cepheid> But I don't have it. I'd have to obtain an image to emulate.
21:30 * Dappled has an ISO that works on his dolphin emulator.
21:30 <Dappled> Gimme a moment.
21:30 * Schism randomly uwus. >.>
21:30 <Schism> Maybe sent...
21:31 <Dappled> I'm uploading it to my google drive and I'll drop a link when it's finished
21:31 <Cepheid> Ah, thanks.
21:31 <Cepheid> This is one of those cases where I don't mind.
21:31 <Cepheid> You can't find the game legally anywhere for it's legitimate price.
21:31 <Cepheid> Probably something like 4k.
21:32 <Cepheid> Ah, nevermind Dappled.
21:32 <Schism> Sent Cepheid a link to the DC version, and next the GC variant.
21:32 <Dappled> Oh. Alright then.
21:32 <Schism> If you can't find the damned game otherwise...
21:32 * Dappled honestly suggests the GC since it has the DLC from the DC.
21:33 <Cepheid> Yeah I am grabbing the GC version.
21:33 <Cepheid> All I lack is a proper gamecube adapter for USB.
21:33 <Dappled> If they ever bring it out again, I'll gladly through more money at Sega.
21:33 <Schism> I know, right?
21:34 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
21:34 <Cepheid> They should do a proper remake, in fact.
21:34 <Cepheid> Clean it up, upgrade the visuals, etc.
21:34 <Cepheid> Anyways, lecture time.
21:34 <Cepheid> Back in 2 hours.
21:34 <Schism> Still want them to do the .HACK// series properly.
21:34 <Schism> Anyway, ciaociao.
21:34 <Dappled> It's not like they haven't used the characters in other games.
21:35 * Dappled looks at Valkyria Chronicles and Sonic All Stars Racing.
21:37 <Cepheid> Schism: They did G.U., but not the original 4.
21:37 * Dappled 's copy of infection was scracthed cause used and never could get the other 3.
21:41 <Ali> So I wonder this
21:41 <Ali> If I went to the volcanic planet to mine it
21:41 <Ali> There's no water there
21:41 <Ali> So getting rocket fuel would be impossible.
21:43 * Dappled places Ali's rocket on the planets natural rocket fuel. Waits for the eruption to propel it back into space.
21:47 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.
21:48 * Ali squeaks at the Finwe
21:48 <Finwe> o3o
21:50 <Cepheid> Ali, again.
21:50 <Cepheid> Water Ice.
21:50 <Ali> Haven't found a planet with that :P
21:50 <Cepheid> Asteroid belts.
21:50 <Cepheid> But yeah, otherwise? Barreling time.
21:50 <Ali> Haven't found one of those either :P
21:50 <Cepheid> I usually barrel, send, unbarrel, then recycle the barrels to steel plates.
21:51 <Ali> Well I'm starting to make vulcanite blocks though.
21:53 * Dappled grumbles cause CTD.

22:10 * Dappled follows a walkthrough this time cause he's beaten the game multiple times but wants to 100% it.
23:03 <PinkieShy> I think i just scared my dog a bit xD
23:04 <PinkieShy> He was fast asleep the way he was laying looked so adorable..
23:04 <PinkieShy> I just said 'Awww' and he lifted his head like "What's going on now?!" xD
23:04 <Lumindia_> haha
23:14 * Dappled 's cat likes to complain when I pull out my keyboard. Like why are you doing that when you could be petting a kitty. No I wasn't interested till you pulled out a big bulky instrument.
23:15 <Cepheid> My haaaaand!
23:15 <Cepheid> Dappled, does your cat stand on your arm and knead?
23:16 <Cepheid> I look like a danged drug user 'cause of my cat doing that to me. My arm is all covered in red spots and lines.
23:17 <Dappled> She prays.
23:20 * Ali can't even have a cat stay with them longer than five mintues. is jelly.
23:22 <Cepheid> In my case, my cat stands on my arm with the two front paws, and kneads a lot.
23:22 <Cepheid> And if I continue to ignore, he stands on my arm with all four legs and kneads.
23:22 <Cepheid> Then he starts biting.
23:24 <PinkieShy> Taking car next week to get the Jeep computer updated under a customer service campaign thing jeep is doing..
23:25 <PinkieShy> Supposedly can stop certain vehicles with oil burning issue to be fixed
23:25 <PinkieShy> ours is the 2018 compass which alot of people have had issues with apparently.. But ours hasn't but they still recommend the update..
23:25 <PinkieShy> I'm so confused about that lol
23:26 <Cepheid> Better to get the update than to need it at a later date.

23:34 <Cepheid> Hum, I'm thinking for this space platform creating research, I may just use bots. They seem to be working just fine, and are able to keep up with production.
23:35 <Cepheid> At least, for initial complex research anyways.
23:42 <PinkieShy> ^_^ About to play some murder Mystery.. I haven't did this game in a year and half..
23:42 <PinkieShy> It's been so long
