00:00 <Schism> Here.  Have the only gender quiz you will ever need.  https://mkremins.github.io/genderquiz/

00:03 * Dappled is apparently banned in 13 states. Whee

00:24 <Cepheid> It occurs to me that I haven't eaten anything since 7 AM this morning.

00:31 <Schism> Cepheid: https://twitter.com/scalzi/status/1353117315093692419

00:31 <Schism> There are some things which should not be.

00:33 <Schism> What to eat...

00:34 * Schism considers frying up some rice and vegetables. She could do them up in a honey garlic marinade.

00:34 <Schism> Except... kind of low on honey.  Hm.  Should pick more up.

00:34 <Schism> Or could just run down to the store and pick up some a jar of sauce therefor.  Maybe make some beef and broccoli fried rice.

00:36 <Schism> Though if I'm going to go that far, I might as well just, I dunno, order hot and sour soup and stuff.  ...

00:42 * Cepheid hums about UI implementation.

00:43 <Schism> There.  Ordered food.

00:43 <Schism> For once, I have absolutely no interest in cooking, and this will keep us fed for a day or two.

00:46 <Cepheid> There is a distressing lack of information about MonoGame's implementation of details.  Case in point, I'm not sure if the textures have to be power-of-two, or if I can use non-power-of-two textures.

00:47 <Cepheid> Since it's a re-implementation of XNA, the XNA docs should help.  And judging from them, NPOT textures are acceptable.

00:51 <Cepheid> GUI elements are going to be kept simple.  Bare minimum at least is a label(Displays text), and a button.

00:52 <Cepheid> Maybe a text box, to enter text.

01:00 <Cepheid> So, fun note.  My mother dislikes the arachnotron of Factorio.

01:03 <Schism> Many do.

01:04 * Schism laces up boots. "Order shall be arriving anon."

01:05 <Schism> We didn't really have Chinese-American food for New Year's, so this is my takeout order for this set of months.

02:16 * Dappled horses at all of you.

02:16 * Dappled is also suffering from kitty paralysis.

02:17 * Ali steals Dappled's cat, wants to hold a cat but her cats are jerks.

02:17 <PinkieShy> <_>

02:17 <PinkieShy> Looking at alarm clocks was about to buy Twin bell analog clock but got scared it would scare me or hurt my ears in the morning

02:18 * Dappled just lays down and does other things. It must be kitties idea to be on the lap.

02:20 <Ali> Almost any loud noise hurts my ears...

02:27 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/IY5bwvq

02:30 <Dappled> Okay, adding Palamutes is a good addition, but it can be better.

02:30 * Dappled wants Moofahs to follow him into battle.

02:30 <Dappled> Whenever you get knocked down it appears in the way to give you a soft landing.

02:38 <Ali> God I only have 500 scaffoldings..

02:38 <Dappled> "Drachma has joined the party... again" even the game acknowledges that he's a tsundere.

02:38 * Cepheid waves and wobbles about. Antibiotics + Seroquel = Whee.

04:11 * Ali flops over RazorSharpFang, unicorn making space belts and its so dang slow.

04:11 <RazorSharpFang> Ah

04:12 <Ali> On my own game though

04:12 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah that is slow. Are you on the server or ah I see

04:12 <Ali> Yeah I feel like I'm too far behind understanding for the server right now.  My brain doesn't understand what's going on and everything is too far advanced.

04:16 <RazorSharpFang> It is pretty complex. I don't think I've done anything in space aside from repair work.

04:17 <Ali> I'm just loading up a cargo rocket at the moment for the first launch up

04:22 <Ali> Also Scoffolding, why you take so longs to make T.T

04:22 <RazorSharpFang> It's space landfill

04:23 <Ali> Until you can get the better one

04:23 <Ali> But why must it use LDS T.T

04:23 <RazorSharpFang> Well, if it's supposed to be put into space perhaps it should be low density yet strong.

04:25 * Ali nods, just annoys her that she needs to also launch that crap into space as well and is starting to run low on storage.

04:29 *** Quits: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

04:34 <Ali> Huh RazorSharpFang, Space Underground Belts are actually bad

04:34 <Ali> They cost most in space belt than the distance they cover

04:34 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, space isn't cheap

04:34 <Ali> It requires 8 belts but it only goes for 7 tiles

04:35 <Ali> So just doesn't justify the costs to me?

04:35 <RazorSharpFang> Well, it is in space.

05:30 * Ali flops over RazorSharpFang and grumps, is still loading her rocket for space.

05:31 <RazorSharpFang> Space!

05:31 <Ali> I'm not even sure if I'm bringing the right stuff either.

05:31 <Cyan_Spark> RazorSharpFang: https://twitter.com/NyxieSFM/status/1343774547074433024?s=20

05:31 <Cyan_Spark> Have a batpony

05:32 <Ali> That and I don't like how the thing will keep trying to load cargo rocket parts onto the ship when it doesn't need any

05:33 <RazorSharpFang> E

05:33 <RazorSharpFang> Ali, use circuitry to disable that

05:34 <RazorSharpFang> You would have an enabled condition [Rocket-Part] < 100 and attach the circuit to the rocket

05:35 <Ali> But after its built, how do you know it won't try to load another 100 in?

05:36 <RazorSharpFang> The rocket itself outputs its state into the circuit network

05:37 <Ali> So what do I connect the inserter to?  The rocket pad itself?

05:37 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah

05:37 <RazorSharpFang> The launcher

05:38 <Cyan_Spark> :D

05:41 * Ali nods and notices its not loading in anything. "How quaint."

05:41 * Ali also is bad speller

05:42 * Dappled chews on a belt?

05:45 * Ali puts Dappled onto the belt instead

05:46 * RazorSharpFang watches as Dappled slowly heads towards the Pulveriser

05:46 * Dappled found some ore to chew on. Pointy rock.

05:59 * Dappled becomes one with the pointy rock in the Pulveriser.

06:19 *** Joins: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-rhd.qic.144.136.IP)

06:19 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

06:19 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:20 * Dappled waves.

06:22 * Ali flops over ConfusionRift and Dappled

06:22 * Dappled hugs.

06:22 * Dappled continues to be an Air Pirate.

06:24 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali and Dappled.

06:29 <ConfusionRift> On alert. There was gunfire not too far from here, about a few minutes ago.

06:29 * Dappled hugs.

06:53 <Ali> Ok...I need water to make cosmic water...but can't covert it up here...

06:57 <Ali> The game gives me heavy oil up here as well, but...how do you convert it...

06:57 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

06:58 <RazorSharpFang> FNEI should show you how

06:59 <Ali> It does, but the facility you need to use

06:59 <Ali> its locked behind rocket science

06:59 * Dappled chews on the UI.

06:59 <Ali> But you can't make a space science lab without cosmic water cause you need a space manufactory to craft it.

07:01 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know, Cepheid did that part.

07:02 <Ali> I understand, but I'm just looking over things

07:02 <Ali> And it gives me heavy oil and water up here to get started with

07:02 <Ali> But without the lubricant, its pretty much worthless to be up here.

07:04 <Dappled> Apparently that last few times I've played this I've been doing it the hard way.

07:04 * Dappled should have been using the magic system.

07:24 * Ali grumbles at having to build another stupid rocket to make up for this stupid mistake

07:51 * ConfusionRift watches a bit of a stream recording of someone playing some SM64 hacks. "Wait... that's Hang Castle... THAT'S SONIC! That's illegal!!!"

08:00 * Ali has gotten lube up to space, but at what cost..

08:00 <Ali> Also I have a cargo pad...why did I crash.

08:01 * ConfusionRift sees a rocket explode. Said lube just scatters in the air like molten lava. "Oh... oh NOOO!!!"

08:01 <RazorSharpFang> There is always a chance to crash

08:02 <ConfusionRift> That's mods for ya.

08:02 <RazorSharpFang> No, this is crash as in rocket crash

08:03 <ConfusionRift> Oooooh.

10:14 <Cepheid> The chance to crash can be calculated by looking at the chance to land safely.  Subtract it from 100, and that's your chance in percentage to crash instead.

10:14 <Cepheid> Also, morning.

10:19 <ConfusionRift> Hallo.

10:19 * Dappled waves.

10:20 <Ali> So Cepheid, the game fails to tell you that you MUST have brought lubricant up to space else you can't do anything there

10:22 <Cepheid> Yep.  SE is not that big on telling you what you need.  I wonder if that's a part of the "Exploration" part.

10:24 <Ali> Well it mostly annoyed me, cause I had to waste tons of resources again to make another stupid rocket

10:25 <RazorSharpFang> Once you automate the rocket building it's less annoying.

10:25 <Ali> I have it semi automated

10:25 <Ali> But my home planet sucks on resources in a good space close to the main factory

10:25 <Ali> And its kinda void on copper

10:26 <RazorSharpFang> Got a core driller yet?

10:27 <Ali> I do, but I've got so much coal from core drilling it makes the system useless.

10:27 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, that can be a problem

10:29 <Ali> I've almost got two full warehouses of coal

10:30 <Ali> And nothing to do with it

10:30 * Dappled holds up a match?

10:30 <Cepheid> Yeah, and it produces more coal than you can burn.

10:30 * Dappled nods. Holds up two matches.

10:30 <Ali> Even turning it into plastic doesn't help much

10:31 <Ali> Since once you're off using coal as a fuel, it just sits there

10:31 * Ali pat pats the Dappled and snugs on

10:31 * Dappled snugs Ali.

10:31 * ConfusionRift sees a big fire in the distance... is that a warehouse?

10:31 <Dappled> Is there a full moon out tonight?

10:31 <Ali> I think it was recent, why?

10:31 <Dappled> If not, it's probably a regular house.

10:31 <RazorSharpFang> Ali, I typically use the coal from the core-driller for plastics at a priority. Then supplement plastics with coal from elsewhere.

10:32 <Ali> Are the dumbs in full blast?

10:32 <Dappled> Ba-dum-tsh.

10:32 <Ali> I think I need to refocus things and find another planet to extract on

10:32 <Ali> Or find a planet that makes that cold fluid thing

10:33 <Ali> Cause I need to really expand my production lines but really can't

10:37 <RazorSharpFang> We're not /quite/ at the whole multiplanet thing yet. We're slowly approaching that.

10:37 <Cepheid> We got a few moons that we're abusing, but nothing automated yet.

10:38 * Dappled ponders picking up that Dyson Sphere Game on steam.

10:53 * Ali picks up Dappled and snugs on them

10:53 * Lumindia hugs Ali muchly

10:53 <Lumindia> Morning Ali~!

10:54 * Ali squeaks

10:54 * Dappled snugs the Ali and PURRS

10:54 <Ali> I should be going to bed, but I feel like I'm too wired up to sleep

10:54 <Lumindia> ponypile!

10:54 * Lumindia attempts to pull Ceph into it

10:54 * Dappled 's also on the way to the bed. Has to help roommate move a swing for the kiddo tomorrow.

10:54 * Dappled hugs Lumindia too

10:55 <Ali> Like I just feel full of energy but its almost 6am.  I should be worn out by now.

10:56 * ConfusionRift barely gets this letter, reads it, chuckles in anger, and throws it. "I really hate Walmart."

10:57 * Lumindia pulls ConfusionRift into the ponypile

10:57 <ConfusionRift> Just gonna play something and disappear.

10:57 <Lumindia> How about a cuddle puddle

10:59 * ConfusionRift huggles Lumindia.

11:14 * ConfusionRift flops after, and sighs.

11:14 * Ali stares down to Pokemon Sword. "Why can't you be more interesting."

16:31 <Cepheid> Hum.

16:33 <Cepheid> There doesn't seem to be a stack for effects(shaders in MonoGame/XNA), so when I apply one effect, it replaces the active effect, and I can't do hierarchal setups.

16:46 <Cepheid> Well, at least I know the concept works.

17:14 <Finwe> I had leftover beef and stout stew with chestnut mushrooms for lunch.

17:14 <Cepheid> For some reason, it appears to be overwriting the parent texture when drawing...

17:14 <Finwe> Along with some rice.

17:17 <Cepheid> Hmm.  Does applying an effect induce a clear, I wonder..?

17:19 <Cepheid> Hum, that's not it.

17:21 <Cepheid> Huh, that's interesting.  You recall that visual I describe that I see, with respect to my anger, the giant ball of flame/plasma/fire, etc?

17:21 <Cepheid> It's become a ball of electricity, sort of like one of them plasma balls you see around.

17:22 <Schism> And it only costs RRR!  But you only have it for one turn.

17:23 <Cepheid> Heh.

17:27 <Finwe> I recall this was quite a long fight.

17:27 <Cepheid> Hmm.  So the problem is NOT with the quad drawing code.

17:27 <Cepheid> It's with the rendering code for the widget.

17:33 <Cepheid> It's the changing of the render target that's causing the problem.

17:36 <Cepheid> Oh.

17:36 <Cepheid> It's because the render target is disposed upon being unset.

17:36 <Cepheid> There we go.

17:37 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRSlq42_sUE Oh, hey, minusT made another video.

18:41 <Cepheid> You need an enormous amount of it.

18:41 <Ali> Everything is just so large in space that you can't really even set up a good starting spot

18:41 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

18:42 <Ali> Cept you need lots of high demand resources to make the landfill

18:42 <Cepheid> I really recommend that you increase Swarm Safety(Though not too far, it starts to get extremely costly at around 7 or 8), and send up a bunch of bots to be used up there.

18:42 <Ali> Also you really do need a source of water to even get started in space

18:43 <Cepheid> So you can remotely change things.  You can't slot in modules with bots(Sort of, you can copy an existing object with modules in it), but you can still place stuff.

18:43 <Ali> The cost of cosmic water is high, along with needing water to fuel several other things

18:43 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.  The alternative is to get cryonite, process that, then combine cryonite rods with water to make icewater, then shove that up into space.

18:43 <Ali> Have to find a planet with cryonite first :P

18:43 <Cepheid> Yep.

21:09 <Cepheid> Dang.

21:10 * Dappled has relocated his electronics to his bedroom and is cleaning, but realistically, I just spent the day in the company of the infected yesterday.

21:11 <Cepheid> I haven't gone outside in 13 months except for medical reasons, and my parents are the most likely ones to bring the illness home.

21:11 <Cepheid> And on a regular basis I am contracting lung or sinus infections as is the norm.

21:11 <Cepheid> So, I can't go anywhere, do anything.

21:12 <Dappled> Two of the three adults in the house are essential workers, one is military. And actually essential. We work for an electrical, heating, air, plumbing company. We do our job to keep everything else working.

21:13 * Dappled grumbles hard. Just a few more months and everyone in the house would have been vaccinated.

21:19 <Cepheid> Mmm.

21:19 <Cepheid> My dad's a technician, does repairs for printers, laptops, PCs, you name it.  As a result, he's considered essential.

21:19 <Cepheid> My mother's a security guard for the city.  Essential, as a result.

21:19 * Dappled chews hard on a stick.

21:52 * Dappled drinks. Isn't showing symptons yet, but who knows.

21:58 <Lumindia> either way, hot cocoa is good

21:58 <Lumindia> o wo

22:32 * Dappled stares at the 360 controller. Why does it have that thing on the end of the cord instead of just ending in a usb? Why the middle unpluggable part?

22:32 <Cepheid> No idea.

22:32 <Cepheid> I know early models were interchangeably usable with the actual 360 and the PC, but later models just went straight to USB I think.

22:35 <Dappled> Apparently it's called a breakaway cable. Likely to keep from yanking consoles from people tripping on the cord.

22:41 <Cepheid> Gods be damned infection.

22:42 <Cepheid> Ah, those old things.

22:42 <Cepheid> Breakaway cables.  Forgot all about 'em.

22:42 <Ali> Too bad my xbox controllers are all garbage in some way

22:42 <Ali> You pay $60 for them only to have them fail in a year

22:43 * Dappled 's had his 360 controller for like 6

22:43 <Ali> Must be nice

22:43 <Ali> Mine either fail or have some defect to them

22:47 * Dappled 's got that see thru plastic and blue led lights.

22:47 * Dappled likes to see the guts.

23:07 * Dappled likes this.

23:09 <Cepheid> Gods, this is annoying.  I was wondering what was up with my eyesight with my glasses, now that I know, I can't help but notice it.
