00:13 <Cepheid> Ah, right, gonna have to fix that.
00:15 <Cepheid> Windows uses the RTC as localtime rather than UTC.
00:16 <Cepheid> So when I move back to Windows, it's going to reset the clock.
00:16 <Finwe> So you have to either tell Windows that the system clock is in UTC or tell Arch that the system clock is in local time.

00:29 <Cepheid> Yes.
00:29 <Cepheid> It's possible to do either.
00:43 <Finwe> timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 is by far the easier, iirc.
00:45 <Finwe> I cannot even remember how you tell Windows that the system clock is in UTC.
00:45 <Cepheid> Perhaps.
00:45 <Cepheid> In fact, I'll do that.
00:45 <Finwe> Probably by finding the relevant registry and editing it.
00:46 <Cepheid> Basically.
00:47 <Cepheid> Ah, right. The nVidia drivers are extremely unstable on my system.
00:47 <Cepheid> If I try to log out, log in, Xorg will fail to start up properly afterwards.
00:48 <Finwe> Ah, quite intuitively, use regedit to add a DWORD value set to hexadecimal 1 to the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal
00:54 <Cepheid> Dangit Microsoft.
00:55 <Cepheid> It made the EFI partition too small to hold all the bootloaders.
00:56 <Cepheid> I have to remove the fallback image.
00:57 <Cepheid> Okay, that fixed the Xorg crash/freeze on logout/login.

01:01 <Cepheid> Ah, nothing quite like hearing my CPU fan ramp up when scrolling around in Firefox.
01:05 <Finwe> 200MB is the standard size for EFI system partition, eeenope?
01:05 <Finwe> That should be more than enough for any sensible number of bootloaders.
01:09 * Schism looks at her past, where she had a collection of 20 floppies with individual variants on autoexec.bat and config.sys, as well as variants on EMM386 and HIMEM.
01:10 <Cepheid> Finwe, the Windows 10 install set up...
01:10 <Schism> And then I learned how to create a .bat menu. o3o;
01:10 <Cepheid> 70M.
01:10 <Cepheid> No, wait, 96.
01:14 <Finwe> That should be enough, I think. Linux does not require a separate bootloader on UEFI systems.
01:14 <Finwe> The kernel can boot itself.
01:15 *** Quits: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-qk3k7e.open.airstreamcomm.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
01:15 <Cepheid> It's enough for the basic kernel, but the fallback one is too large to fit with everything else.

01:20 <Finwe> grubx64.efi or refind_x64.efi or something else is quite enough.

01:48 <Schism> I make popcorn properly.
01:48 <Dappled> Okay, but now you have more dishes to clean.
01:48 <Schism> Only two, really.
01:49 <Schism> One pot, one bowl. And this way I get to toss them in a spicy honey ginger sauce.
01:49 <Dappled> But artificial butter flavor is traditional!
01:50 <Schism> But this is delicious.
01:50 <Schism> Sides, I could alternately do a nice cumin and lime flavour, too. Or just butter mustard.

02:08 <Schism> "I should make use of these candy canes at some point."
02:08 <Schism> And chocolate peppermint shortbread sounds like a fine use.
02:10 * Ali flops over the Schism
02:11 <Cepheid> Very rudimentary UI, anyways.
02:11 <Ali> Well they officially made 1.1.19 the stable version
02:11 <Cepheid> Main window replicates the style of Hexchat, as that's typically the "default" style of a DECENT IRC client anyways.
02:11 <Cepheid> Yeah, it happened shortly after the release of 1.19.
02:11 <Cepheid> Er, 1.1.19
02:12 * Dappled uses IceChat cause it's what he has installed.
02:12 * Dappled tries to convince the kitty that cords are not toys
02:12 <Ali> Cepheid, I kinda have a question for you. I'm in this mode where I'm hating the game, mainly cause I'm idling too much and not sure how to slowly fix that? All the other planets are missing something to really work on them.
02:12 * Ali uses Xchat to the disappointment of many
02:12 <Cepheid> I assume that's burnout from the game.
02:13 <Cepheid> As it's the same feeling I have right now, leading me to play other games for a bit.
02:13 <Ali> The problem is I don't really have many other games to take its place
02:13 * Dappled suggests Skies of Arcadia. Whee JRPGS!
02:13 <Cepheid> If you like supply-chain-management stuff, check out OpenTTD.
02:15 <Ali> TTD is a bit...outdated looking for me
02:15 <Ali> I've seen Spiffing Brit rip that game apart like none other
02:16 <Ali> And I'm not sure how many good Railroad like games there are that are worth the time
02:16 <Dappled> Sid Meier's Pirates?
02:16 * Ali remembers Sid Meyer's Railroads. Fun but too fast paced
02:16 <Ali> And that I have, but it gets a bit old after awhile Dappled
02:16 <Cepheid> Hum, railroad games, let's see...
02:17 <Ali> Also a question Cepheid since the server is so much further ahead than I am.
02:17 <Ali> Roughly how many systems are there in the first star?
02:17 <Cepheid> You mean how many planets and moons?
02:18 <Cepheid> I don't know off hand, but it's a lot.
02:18 <Ali> Right, I'm just trying to find a decent first planet but each has some sort of flaw to them
02:18 <Cepheid> As for industry management games... Anno series in general, especially prior to 2205. Rise of Industry. Transport Fever series..
02:19 <Ali> Being waterless is a big one, or lacking any major source of oil to get fuel going to get back to Nauvis
02:19 * Dappled always recommends Reccetear. That's a good game. Not in line with anything your asking, but I enjoy it.

02:21 <Schism> I'm so glad that I decided to eat this ramen tonight. My sinuses are now aflame.
02:21 <Ali> I also feel like I need to tear down my entire production lines as they feel a bit strained in certain areas
02:22 <Ali> Like no matter how fast I make copper wire, greens eat them up with half the line before the second half gets any.
02:22 <Cepheid> Yep, aware of that problem.
02:22 <Ali> And they're on red bets as well
02:23 <Ali> Like I feel like I HAVE to use the circuits blueprints I have right now just to keep up.
02:23 <Cepheid> Yeah, it helps if you calculate the amount of X that your consumers will consume, and then try to match the belt capacity to that.
02:23 <Schism> But... doesn't that mean that you're basically overestimating how many resources your later belts might need, and understimating copper belts?
02:24 <Schism> underestimating*
02:24 <Ali> What I'm getting at
02:24 <Cepheid> If you design the thing to be expandable along a line, you can expand it to account for better belts.
02:24 <Ali> Is that it might be better to make them on site of the green circuits instead of shipping over a belt
02:24 <Schism> Sorry, I mean busses.
02:25 <Cepheid> There is the space complication of the bus, yes.
02:25 <Cepheid> That's actually the downside of the bus design.
02:25 <Ali> I think mine is up to 8x4 now...
02:25 <Ali> Freaking huge bus..
02:29 * Dappled takes a moment to glare at the horribly non existent thermodynamics of Skies of arcadia. There is only one ice cap. The climates of areas are determined by which of 6 moons is in geosynchronous orbit of that area.
02:32 <Cepheid> Ours is massive as well, we're trying to deconstruct it.
02:32 <Cepheid> Replace it with a train grid network.
02:32 <Cepheid> Which is even *BIGGER*, but better-equipped to handle additions.
02:37 <Ali> I started a second oil production chain that's just barreling its resources

02:44 <Dappled> But shouldn't water be easier to get in space cause comets?
02:44 <Cepheid> Alas, it's not that simple in Space Exploration.
02:44 <Cepheid> You can get water ice, yes, but only from asteroid belts.
02:47 <Cepheid> ... Oh, wow.
02:48 <Cepheid> Actually, I'm not sure I can say anything about this yet. I'll let the Factorio devs decide that.
02:48 * Dappled decides for the Devs!
02:48 * Dappled decides that candy is better than veggies
02:50 <Cepheid> It's nothing that'll directly affect us, so speaking about it isn't going to change anything, but at the same time, I'm not sure I should be talking about it publically. So I'll leave it be in the event Wube wants to say anything about it.
03:01 <Ali> Or could prod them about the bug/issue? Depends on if its that or something leaked
03:04 <Cepheid> Nah. Nothing like that.

06:10 <Ali> How's your SE solo world going?
06:10 <RazorSharpFang> I've barely started.
06:11 <Ali> I'm at this confused point in the game I feel
06:12 <Ali> Where I feel like everything is inadequate and all the worlds I've seen are garbage in one way or another.
06:12 <RazorSharpFang> They may be garbage, but they're your garbage to exploit.
06:13 <Ali> But most are waterless
06:13 <Ali> and its almost impossible to do anything without water.
06:13 <RazorSharpFang> Ah the waterless planets are a problem
06:14 <RazorSharpFang> The core driller will still give you some water.
06:14 <Cepheid> Which should be enough for some steam, yeah.
06:14 <Ali> Not enough to get back off the planet
06:14 <Ali> And if the planet lacks say copper
06:14 <Ali> That's going to be a pain to come back from
06:14 <Ali> Also with waterless places
06:15 <Cepheid> The resources are actually enough to ever-so-slowly make a rocket.
06:15 <Ali> How are you going to get fuel it to get back home?
06:15 <RazorSharpFang> Then you'd ship a rocket ship over full of packeted rocket parts, and then you use those parts to build rockets and ship back resources.
06:15 <Cepheid> ...
06:15 <Ali> RazorSharpFang, they still need fuel
06:15 <RazorSharpFang> You would also ship over the fuel
06:15 <Cepheid> Damnit, game.
06:15 <Cepheid> I flew into an anomaly I didn't see until the last minute.
06:15 <Cepheid> Now I'm out in a sector with no apparent way to escape.
06:16 * Ali makes Cepheid the captain of Voyager
06:16 <Cepheid> Oh, there's my exit outta here.
06:16 <Ali> Hey, its supposed to take 3 seasons to get out!
06:16 <Dappled> Sounds like normal S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to me.
06:16 <Dappled> Also 3?
06:16 * Ali doesn't know Star Trek Voyager that well
06:16 * Dappled 's pretty sure Voyager ran for much longer.
06:16 * Ali sits on Dappled
06:17 * Dappled squeaks.
06:18 <Cepheid> I got lucky.
06:18 <Cepheid> That anomaly could have sent me to a far worse location.
06:18 <Cepheid> Somewhere home to Xenon or Kha'ak.
06:19 <Cepheid> Put simply, both are the enemy of all living things in the X universe.
06:22 * Dappled ponders learning an X game. Which one do you recommend, Cepheid? I grabbed a bundle quite some time ago.
06:22 * Dappled likes trading and exploring.
06:23 <Cepheid> X3: Albion Prelude or X4: Foundations.
06:24 * Dappled understands that 4 did something that was different to the previous games that made the fanbase kinda not like it or something? Or am I thinking of another one...
06:26 <Ali> So this one planet looks promicing but has one flaw
06:26 <Ali> Its solar output is 76%
06:26 * Ali really wishes there were other power options than just steam/solar/nuclear
06:29 <Cepheid> I think you might be thinking of Rebirth, Dappled. That was was panned critically.
06:58 * Dappled attempts the X4.
06:58 * Dappled nodnods belatedly.
07:00 * Ali facehooves at the yellow belts, way too slow for anything now
07:06 <Ali> I'd have to do a major overhaul of like every belt I've placed. Yellows are way too dang slow for the thruput needed
07:06 <Ali> Like 10 thermal furnaces eat a yellow belt empty
07:12 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe wait until you get bots and then you can do upgrade plan
07:14 * Ali puts RazorSharpFang in space, unicorn already has access to bots
07:14 <RazorSharpFang> Then just do an upgrade plan. :3
07:14 <Ali> My problem isn't that RazorSharpFang, its the fact that my thruputs suck ass
07:15 <Ali> Cause the furnaces are only 5 deep and are only for two lanes each
07:15 <RazorSharpFang> Migrate to a train base like we're doing on the server
07:15 <RazorSharpFang> Do you have access to logistic network yet?

07:16 <Ali> I have 8 cargo 2 engine trains bringing in the raw goods here, but I really don't have a great place to start making a mass furnace area.
07:17 <RazorSharpFang> A train grid layout system, it's working pretty well for us, but it takes up a lot of space.
07:17 <Ali> I'm still kinda cramped around that bus I showed you before RazorSharpFang
07:17 <Ali> But I don't know how to expand this out.
07:17 <RazorSharpFang> There's no space elsewhere? Are you trapped by bugs?
07:18 <Ali> HAHAHA, bugs... They're disabled on Nauvis
07:18 <Ali> And I did huge ass ore patches
07:19 <RazorSharpFang> Then start up a train-grid network outside of the regular bus and network, and then hook up a connecting interface to start it off (Trains need fuel after all)
07:20 <Ali> I have three depos up north of the base to drop off iron and copper ores
07:20 <Ali> The 3rd is probably stone, cause this mod needs it more than coal
07:20 * Ali is also confused by train grid network
07:21 <RazorSharpFang> You use trains to dispatch between production areas instead of a bus.
07:25 <Ali> This world isn't really laid out well for that
07:25 <Ali> There's no good stone/copper combined to turn into circuits
07:30 * Ali boops the RazorSharpFang
07:39 * RazorSharpFang is booped
07:41 <RazorSharpFang> Well, so far I've been landfilling large areas of water in order to lay out the grid regardless of the actual structure of the world.
07:51 <Ali> the 50:1 ratio of landfill is beyond WTF
07:52 <RazorSharpFang> There's a fair bit more stone than usual in the world I think for this among other reasons

09:30 <Finwe> Mr RazorSharpFang.
09:30 * Finwe doffs his bobble cap.
09:30 <RazorSharpFang> The GME squeeze has not yet been squoze apparently. So we'll see what happens next week.
09:32 <Finwe> I guess there are some short-selling contracts terminating tomorrow or on Monday causing some distress to whomever decided to sell short.
09:32 <RazorSharpFang> There's still over 100% short
09:32 <RazorSharpFang> New people start shoring
09:33 <RazorSharpFang> Still 0 short stock availability
09:33 <Finwe> Well, from that point of view, it's quite obvious that the Reddit bubble is going to burst at some point.
09:34 <RazorSharpFang> It has to come down eventually, but so many people are trying to call the top that it's causing the top to keep rising ... ??

09:51 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Rabi-Ribi has received a major update. Cocoa Mode.
09:51 * ConfusionRift saw it some time ago, rather curious.
09:52 <ConfusionRift> So, is it actually Cocoa gameplay? I saw the post, but didn't really check.
09:53 <ConfusionRift> And apparently there was an orchestra. Man, I hope they actually add a concert master costume, with a violin sprite as the hammer. :P
09:55 <Cepheid> Yeah.
09:55 <Cepheid> You play as Cocoa.
09:56 * Golden bleps.
09:57 <ConfusionRift> Ah, it was integrated to the Before Next Adventure DLC.
09:57 * Finwe ruffles Golden.
09:57 <Golden> Hm?
10:01 <Finwe> Whosoever bleps, shall be ruffled.
10:01 <Cepheid> I'll have to check it out later. Right now, I need to get a few hours of sleep.
10:02 * AppleDash bleps
10:02 * Finwe ruffles AppleDash.
10:02 <AppleDash> :D
10:06 * Starlight_Glimmer sits on AppleDash.
10:07 <Finwe> Messrs AppleDash and Starlight_Glimmer.
10:07 * Finwe doffs his hat.
10:09 * AppleDash hugs Starlight_Glimmer's rump?
10:10 <Finwe> Well, with the aforementioned hindquarters inexortably placed upon your person there hardly is much choice in this matter.
10:12 <Finwe> This one thinks that today is a good day to die.
10:12 <Finwe> s/die/ski/
10:12 * Finwe hides his Klingon phrasebook.
10:16 <Cepheid> Thanks RazorSharpFang.
10:16 <Cepheid> I still need to get a few hours sleep, though.
10:16 <RazorSharpFang> Yep, good night
10:16 <Cepheid> I've been awake since 4 PM yesterday, and I have an appointment at 2 PM that I can't miss.
10:17 <RazorSharpFang> Sleep well
10:17 <Cepheid> Will do, once the meds kick in. o3o
10:19 <Cepheid> Do you mind cat?
10:20 <RazorSharpFang> Could have sworn the armor was full, but when I got it it was empty??
10:20 <Cepheid> Huh.
10:21 <Cepheid> Eh, it's not a big deal.
10:21 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah the armor itself is the most annoying to get
10:21 <Cepheid> Cat, c'mon.
10:21 <Cepheid> I don't get this, I can't tell if he's annoyed or not.
10:22 <Cepheid> Like, on one hand, he's purring loudly, and he's not biting. He's also kneading, so..
10:22 <Cepheid> ... Is he trying to give me a massage while I work?
10:22 <Cepheid> That is, I use my laptop.
10:31 <Dappled> Yar.

11:06 <RazorSharpFang> Hurray for groceries
11:06 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> wrong answer
11:06 * Yuujin_Hiiragi bap
11:06 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> the correct response to that is "Nice"
11:06 <RazorSharpFang> It'd be nice if it was 420.69
11:06 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2191 [ https://tinyurl.com/yy6aemey ]
11:06 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> nah, just a 69 by itself deserves a 'nice'
11:07 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> also I'd worry if my grocery order was 420.69
11:07 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> my EBT benefits don't even cover that much
11:07 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe it's several weeks' worth of foods?
11:07 * ConfusionRift uses that extra dollar for a soda.
11:09 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> (the vending machine eats the dollar and doesn't give confusion their soda)
11:09 <ConfusionRift> ._.

11:12 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> that's... concerning
11:13 <ConfusionRift> Funny how you laughed, but that was your dollar. :P It also ate the other two quarters of change.
11:13 * ConfusionRift chuckles.
11:17 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> ah well
11:18 * Dappled explains that he is a horse.
11:18 * Dappled is going to try playing more Sea of Thieves in the future. Cause Yar.
11:19 * ConfusionRift isn't sure going back to Hollow Knight was such a good idea.
11:20 <Dappled> It's such a buggy game ConfusionRift.
11:20 <ConfusionRift> Haaaah. :P
11:20 * Dappled is best comedian.
11:26 * Golden blinks as he is waiting for the official release for the digimon card game.
11:26 * Dappled waits for the return of those digivice tamogatchi things.
11:28 *** Quits: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-qk3k7e.open.airstreamcomm.net) (Connection closed)
11:29 <Golden> You mean the pendulums?
11:30 * Dappled shrugs. Is remembering things from 23+ years ago now.
11:30 <Golden> Those have been out since 2019. Heck on Premium Bandai they are selling an upgraded form of the pendulums with new digimon.
11:31 <Golden> Of course since it's Premium Bandai it's a bit pricey, but is usually worth it.
11:32 * Dappled isn't sure 100 dollars for name brand tamagotchi clone is worth it.
11:33 * Dappled also sees a lot of "No longer available."
11:35 <Golden> The Pendulum Z II pack is still available. Considering modern tamagotchis go for 60$ it ultimately depends on you
11:35 <Dappled> Why??
11:35 * Dappled remembers them being dirt cheap.
11:35 <Dappled> You know. Cause it's a toy for children!
11:35 <Finwe> Mr Dappled.
11:36 * Finwe doffs his skiing cap.
11:36 * Dappled angers at capitalism.
11:36 * Dappled also spots skiing cap. Grabs more blankets.
11:36 <ConfusionRift> I see them for $6... $68. Some at $75. Others at OH MY GOODNESS!!!
11:36 <Golden> I'm not sure why Tamas gone up in $$$. I know they changed to color instead of standard black, and white.
11:37 <Dappled> And they were annoying needy little things.
11:37 <Golden> Again thats for the newest ones. They are releasing the originals with like the original packaging for like 25$
11:37 <Dappled> That sounds better.
11:37 <Schism> If only we could get these ones on the cheap. https://tamagotchi.fandom.com/wiki/Eevee_x_Tamagotchi
11:38 <Golden> You can also find the digivice pendulums for around 25$ as well. Talking about the ones being sold in like Target, and Barnes and Nobles
11:39 * Dappled go bed.
11:40 <Golden> Also adding in the fact Premium Bandai tends to deal with importing to the shipping destination means that they are probably going straight off the yen to *insert country of shipping destination's currency here*
11:40 <ConfusionRift> If you can find one. It seems scalping is the name of the game as of late.
11:41 * Golden goes quiet at the meer mention of scalping as fires can be seen in his eyes.
11:42 * ConfusionRift points on a new digivice, that looks rather common, for $500.
11:42 <ConfusionRift> That be a pricey Tama.
11:42 * Dappled needs to watch the new Digimon anime.
11:43 <Golden> What site are you looking at Confusion? For the Adventure 2020 digivice is like 100$ tops on ebay
11:44 <ConfusionRift> eBay. (shrugs)
11:46 <Golden> You are probably looking at the 15th anniversary anime digivices. Only were available via P-Bandai in japan
11:46 <ConfusionRift> Then again, this is the site that sells empty boxes of GPUs for the same, if not, a higher price than the actual GPU.
11:46 <Golden> I know they did do the anniversary edition of the original adventure, and 02 digivices.
11:47 <Golden> I did grab an original adventure orange digivice around 100$ when the 15th anniversary was still fresh.
11:47 <Schism> To think, the MSRP on the original Tamagotchi as it stands is $19.99.
11:48 <ConfusionRift> I... $100 for this... is tough.
11:49 <ConfusionRift> Then again, I have sometimes spent more on more temporary things.
11:49 <Schism> Looking at those Digimon Pendulums on Bandai Premium?
11:50 <ConfusionRift> My original Tamagotchi is probably somewhere in PR. probably with the other toys and such.
11:51 <Schism> These things... https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2564976001001
11:51 * ConfusionRift just remembered something.
11:51 <ConfusionRift> The bottom floor flooded during the hurricane, so it's likely gone. Same for my Pokemon cards' album.
11:51 * Schism hugs the 'Rift. :<
11:52 <Golden> Well again a lot of these items on P-Bandai, are specialty items as well as limited time.
11:52 * Finwe rigs the 'Huft.
11:53 <Golden> So I can somewhat excuse the price for when they were originally released. IE the Pendulum Z II's
11:53 <Schism> A three-pack at $36 USD each is comparatively reasonable, based on that.
11:54 <Golden> Plus the fact a lot of these items wouldn't even go west without P-Bandai means without it they would remain mostly Japan exclusive
11:55 <ConfusionRift> And my Tiger Electronics games, which included the Castlevania one... that Magic handheld game that's now worth a fortune... the first wave of Import Tuner cars... the other Tamagotchi style thing that was a face that you played with... and a few of my Genesis games I wasn't able to bring over.
11:55 <Schism> ;-;
11:56 <ConfusionRift> I love how the collectors market went for $2 to $65 because it's not as saturated, and people are looking into old stuff.
11:57 <Golden> So between the yen to whatever currency other countries uses, the exclusivity of it, along with other metrics the pricing can be worth it.
11:58 * Schism shakes her head. "Still annoyed, in some small amount, that the market has a bottomless appetite for certain sneakers."
11:58 * ConfusionRift just feels... old.

11:59 * Schism is old too.
12:00 <Golden> I did pre-order the digimon card game tamer box back when those could be put in. 55 sleeves, an acrylic memory gauge, a deck box, a storage case, a playmat, along with 16 alt art reprints of cards. 8 in japanese, and 8 in english. Came out around 83 usd.
12:01 <Golden> Considering special boxes like those usually go for around 60$ with only the storage case, and sleeves I consider it a massive deal
12:01 <ConfusionRift> Pffftftfftftfpghghythggj why?! https://www.amazon.com/Kirby-Super-Star-Ultra-Nintendo-DS/dp/B001C58T5U/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=kirby+superstar+snes&qid=1612007984&sr=8-12
12:02 <Golden> Because people like those never heard of a resale store existing
12:03 * Schism has that cartridge. o3o
12:03 * ConfusionRift has that game as well. Both the original and Ultra.
12:04 <Golden> And the certain special boxes I was referring to belong to the Dragon Ball Super Card game with their draft boxes.
12:04 <ConfusionRift> It's one of my favorite games.
12:05 <Golden> Guessing you mean Kirby Super Star/Ultra?
12:05 <ConfusionRift> Yerp.
12:05 * Schism eats the Suplex ability and keeps it for the whoooooole game.
12:06 <Golden> I have the Ultra cart. Never had a snes so I can only really access the snes version via the snes online
12:06 * ConfusionRift suplexes Marx into Super Nova and wins the day. "Poyo!"
12:07 <Schism> I'm reminded for some reason of how that game actually has a block button, except it never actually gets USED until you're fighting the RPG.
12:08 <Golden> I just popped my neck, and immediately a headache hit...sweet celestia that hurts...
12:08 <ConfusionRift> Or the whale, just to not bother flying.
12:08 <Schism> Aye.
12:08 * ConfusionRift lightly pats Golden.
12:08 <Golden> I honestly do block a lot in Kirby games.
12:09 <Schism> Perhaps tonight I should play through the Dark Matter Trilogy again. (Kirby's Dream Land 2, 3, and 64).
12:10 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> Poyo~!
12:10 * Yuujin_Hiiragi plops a kirbo onto COnfusion's head
12:10 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> O wO
12:10 <Golden> Honestly it feels like the Dark Matter trilogy is still going on
12:10 <Schism> Well, okay, but those three were the big ones in my youth.
12:10 <ConfusionRift> The blocking becomes more versatile in later games, that's for sure. But in that one, it isn't as useful.
12:10 <Schism> Well, that's more because you can dodge pretty much anything.
12:11 <ConfusionRift> I know it was referred to in Planet Robobot. Then again, that game was a massive reference.
12:11 <RazorSharpFang> Hmm, so I got assigned on that Nokia short call. I bought Nokia @ 4.20 (nice) and sold at 4.50, so that's technically a win.
12:12 <Golden> I mean with the crown from return to dreamland, the whole star dream with robo-bot, the mentions of a corruption in triple deluxe, and well the whole final boss of star allies being theorized about being the origins for Kirby, and Dark Matter.
12:12 * ConfusionRift boops Yuujin_Hiiragi. "Poyo!" :P
12:13 <Golden> I mean we have seen Dark Matter to be a corrupting force. Who's to say it didn't corrupt Marx.
12:13 * ConfusionRift has yet to do the last few things in Star Allies.
12:13 <Schism> True, true...
12:13 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> :D
12:13 <ConfusionRift> Like how it happened in KSSU?
12:13 <Golden> Exactly.
12:14 * Schism also looks at ConfusionRift. "Why would you suplex Marx into Galactic Nova? That's how you make Marx Soul."
12:14 <ConfusionRift> ...whoops.
12:15 * ConfusionRift should point out, in the original game, Kirby destroys the sun and moon, so... is he really helping?
12:15 <RazorSharpFang> The sun and moon had it coming. They know what they did.
12:17 <ConfusionRift> Calms a flustered mother (Dyna Blade) by beating the heck out of them.
12:18 <Schism> Well, also remember that in Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's the one who pretty much gives everything to Marx. <.<
12:18 <Golden> Heck it could of even sealed a part of it's power in the crown seen in return to dreamland, and it just needed the proper host. Star Dream could does have a heart inside it. The giant crystal heart in star allies is easily holding back the true form of the final boss. A piece of dark matter could of been sealed in a few mirrors which could easily lead to amazing mirror, and sectonia becoming corrupt. The more I think of it
12:18 <Golden> the more I see Dark Matter's influene still reigns in the Kirby series.
12:18 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRLaQXxo5-U
12:18 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
12:18 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Marx / Heart of Nova (Kirby Super Star) - GaMetal Remix
12:19 <Golden> I need to stop before I go into Game Theory territories....
12:20 <ConfusionRift> But that's just a theory... :P
12:20 <Golden> I mean you guys do get what I mean right?
12:20 <Schism> Well, Magalor _does_ look rather like he's possessed by Dark Matter in the end.
12:20 <ConfusionRift> If I remember correctly, he was.
12:22 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV_ZzrZXIx0 < A familiar enough song to some. o3o
12:22 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
12:22 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Zero Two (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards) GaMetal Remix Ft. Edobean (2020 Version)
12:22 <ConfusionRift> They remade that song?!
12:22 <Golden> Marx, Sectonia, and Amazing mirror are speculation. Star Dream can summon the swordsman form of Dark Matter. The final boss in the creditsof Amazing mirror literally is giant flaming eye, and Sectonia was corrupted by a mirror.
12:23 <Schism> A mirror doesn't seem to be Dark Matter's whole thing.
12:24 <Golden> True, but it could easily be said those who did originally battle it could of locked parts of it's power away in objects.
12:25 * ConfusionRift remembers something.
12:25 <Golden> I mean with Dark Matter's power residing in a crown does mean it can be put into anything, and again eyes are it's main motif
12:25 <ConfusionRift> You do fight some of those who were influenced by the mirror in one of the spinoffs, and does look like maybe dark matter had something with it.
12:26 <Golden> Marx is extremely tough for there is no real connection other than plausible possession
12:28 <Golden> I mean dark matter has been shown to morph bodies to it's will. For Dedede when he was possessed for example where his stomach is literally opened up, and it has teeth.
12:31 <Schism> Mouths where mouths do not belong.
12:32 <ConfusionRift> Team Kirby Clash Deluxe! There it is.
12:34 <ConfusionRift> One of the reflected bosses was King Dedede. Some of his attacks were similar to when he was possessed by the Dark Matter.
12:34 <Golden> So even though there is loose connections, and theories I will say that Dark Matter's influence is there. Considering Void Termina's core has a kirby face, yet is an amorphous blob like dark matter seems to be the point of origin for the two. Kirby being the light half, and Dark Matter being the evil half of Void Termina's soul.
12:35 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmm.
12:35 * Schism hmmms, "Perhaps, perhaps."
12:35 *** Quits: Jackie (Jackie@Pony-m9q.qa5.105.130.IP) (Connection closed)
12:35 * Schism randomly throws five Trinexx at ConfusionRift in a single run.
12:36 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;
12:36 <Golden> Plus the core taking the form of a mono eye for the beam clash at the end only helps this theory for how else could Void Termina even know about Dark Matter?
12:36 <ConfusionRift> Whyyyy...
12:37 <Schism> ConfusionRift: I'm still amused by that random seed... also, good question. Of course, it might be doing the Omega thing and simply mimicking the Warrior of Li--I mean, Kirby.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> The Warrior of Light... 0_0 Wait a second...
12:38 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm... no. That's a super stretch, never mind.
12:38 <Golden> Then how would it even know of Kirby, or the warrior of light if the boss fight is their first meeting?
12:39 <Schism> Well, we've had many a being in that universe with the ability to monitor things they just honestly shouldn't be able to monitor.
12:40 <Golden> I mean wouldn't it take shape of those who were sacraficed to it since the sisters, and Hyness went into bringing it back?
12:42 <ConfusionRift> I was thinking of something else. As for the connections with Void Termina, I can see them.

12:49 * Schism groans at her power outage. Logs into work ASAP.
12:52 * ConfusionRift sees that fight again.
12:53 <ConfusionRift> Wait... those attacks... that is definitely Dark Matter.
12:53 <Golden> Nightmare is a stretch as well for it could of been well a dream conjured up by void as it was locked away.
12:55 <ConfusionRift> Now that I think of it... hold on...
12:56 <Golden> I mean with Kirby, and Dark Matter having been basically formed from the soul, the body of void being locked away, who's to say the mind didn't wander, or dream?
12:56 <Schism> Also, Kirby devours the entire universe.
12:58 <ConfusionRift> That first form... could on par with the first form of Zero 2. You can only see it very briefly, but it's not initially an eye.
12:59 <Golden> The eye thing is mainly attributed to Dark Matter. So perhaps the form Void takes is what Dark Matter tried to replicate with Zero 2.
13:00 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, two beady eyes and a mouth. Closes its eye, and opens its mouth to reveal the one red eye.
13:04 <ConfusionRift> The little details, huh.
13:04 <Golden> It does seem more than likely Dark Matter, and Void has a massive influence over the series in terms of lore

17:19 * Schism starts rolling around while Ken Ashcorp plays.
17:36 * Schism has her lunch of pea soup with a meat pie and tomato sauce.
17:36 <Cepheid> Oh, huh, they didn't announce it, but his account's already been updated to show it. Guess it's fine to speak about it. Earendel, the maker of the Space Engineering mod, is a Factorio Dev, now.
17:37 * Schism pops up before Cepheid. "Aha, you're here."
17:38 <Cepheid> Yerp.
17:40 <Cepheid> Today I go to set up my new prescription glasses to be made, as well as contact lenses. Huzzah.
17:40 <Schism> How can you put those in your eyes? :<
17:41 <Cepheid> I don't know yet. I've not tried, but it's just a check to see if maybe they help with my sinuses and reaction to sunlight at all.
17:45 * Cepheid walks into kitchen, speaks, scares the hell out of her father. "... I weigh over 200lbs, how am I that quiet?"
17:45 <Cepheid> My dad weighs 200lbs himself, and I can hear him moving a mile away, my mother's 170 or so, and I can hear her moving 3/4ths a mile away.
17:47 <Cepheid> I'm going to assume it has to do with how I walk. I don't take steps heel-first. I take steps toe-first, using my foot as a spring to avoid slamming my heel down onto the ground.
17:48 <Schism> Walking digitigrade does tend to be a bit more quiet. o3o
17:49 <Cepheid> I'm more like a cat than I'd like to admit.
17:49 <Schism> When I walk, it is admittedly usually on the balls of my feet, but that's because I am a fox. o9o
17:52 <Cepheid> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Es9ORK0VgAA3HFT?format=jpg&name=medium
17:52 <Cepheid> That's one way to apply anesthesia to small critters.
17:53 <Schism> Cepheid: I should perhaps note that Korone is playing Kirby's Dreamland 3.
17:53 <Cepheid> I saw.

20:16 <Schism> Uergh. I know it's not _that_ long of a day so far, but sometimes, especially approaching the end...
20:16 <Schism> Cepheid: So those are working for you? o3o;
20:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> Ali: Soft ones do exist
20:20 <Cepheid> Very much so, Schism.
20:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> And honestly as someone who wears glasses: They kinda suck as well :P
20:20 <Ali> Eh, never liked the idea, I'll stick to glasses as well
20:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> Especially since my glasses aren't really common I get comments all the time
20:21 * Schism just would be really really really upset at putting things in her eyes.
20:21 * Starlight_Glimmer puts a cup cake in Schism's left eye
20:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's something you need to used to really.
20:22 <Schism> http://eecomics.net/EEArchives/?strip_id=1138
20:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also for me contact lenses are super expensive, so there's that.
20:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> Kinda I amazed I can get contact lenses at all
20:22 <Cepheid> For me, the issue is I need to be able to wear a decent pair of sunglasses.
20:23 <Cepheid> And unfortunately, my prescription is so freakishly powerful that I need special lenses, and wearing special sunglasses *OVER* my glasses is awkward.
20:23 <Schism> I just have glasses with a transitions coating. Take a few moments to adapt, but they work out aright, even if I can't read my phone on bright days.
20:23 <Ali> Mine are just super thick..
20:24 <Cepheid> The problem isn't the coating or sunglass prescriptions.
20:24 <Cepheid> It's the size of the lenses.
20:24 <Cepheid> They leave large gaps for sunlight to get through on the top and bottom.
20:24 <Cepheid> And that alone is enough to blind me.
20:25 <Cepheid> In any case, at the moment I'm in the "transition" period. That is, my eyes need time to get used to the lenses. So my vision isn't 100% perfect yet. Still, better than it was before with the old glasses.
20:25 <Cepheid> I can actually read small text again.
20:27 <Schism> I should see an optometrist soon myself. Get a new pair of glasses of some prescription. Not that I have any issue reading text of any weight, but it's still good to have a checkup.
20:29 <Schism> Ah well, back to the grind.
20:29 <Cepheid> In my case, I *HAD* to.
20:30 * Schism nodnods.
20:30 <Cepheid> I was starting to notice that I had to zoom text up to 150% in the browser to read websites.
20:34 <Cepheid> Hum, let's see...

22:12 * Finwe offers some Gummibären to Schism.
22:20 * Schism accepts, and offers Finwe some rieska with brie and smoked whitefish.
22:21 * Finwe also accepts. Smoked fish is among his favourites.
22:22 <Finwe> What kind of whitefish?
22:23 <Schism> Freshwater! Oddly, there is such a species.
22:23 <Finwe> This one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_whitefish
22:23 <Schism> Yup!
22:24 <Finwe> We have this instead in our lakes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coregonus_lavaretus
22:24 <Schism> Either way, they're both good smoked, no doubt. o3o
22:24 * Finwe nodnods.
22:25 <Schism> Hum, tis a laundry night. Shall have to get more loonies tomorrow during --wait, nevermind, shall have to get some on Monday.
22:26 <Schism> Also, just a few more days til my vacation.
22:26 <Finwe> Yay!
22:26 <Finwe> I'm afraid I shall also do some laundry tomorrow.
22:27 <Finwe> I've been postponing it for serveral months already.
22:27 <Finwe> There's simply no more space left in the laundry basket. o3o
22:28 <Schism> Well, I've only a few weeks before my laundry basket need be emptied...
22:31 <Finwe> I obviously bought one designed for a family.
22:32 <Finwe> And thanks to the pandemic I've limited my use of clothes to pajamas many days.
22:33 <Finwe> Especially when you get to listen to Zoom talks rather than having to broadcast yourself.
22:34 <Schism> I try to at least make it outside for a little while every day, as far as taking a walk or two goes. Even on days which are unfathomably brisk such as these.
22:34 <Finwe> Well, now that we have snow I go skiing whenever I can.
22:35 <Finwe> Did almost 18 kilometres today.
22:36 <Finwe> Prior to the snow it was raining constantly, which wasn't especially appealing in combination with long walks outside.
22:37 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.
22:38 <Finwe> And I visited a couple of friends for a cheese night after I came home from skiing.
22:38 <Finwe> Cheese, biscuits and a cheesy film.
22:38 <Finwe> The film being Princess Bride.
22:38 <Schism> Mmm. Cheese with copious amounts of ham.
22:41 <Cepheid> Oh my gods. All this time I've been training a single pilot to 3-star piloting to do auto-mining. When auto-mining is available at 0-star. So now that I realized this, I got a couple of small miners set up to automine in Trinity Sanctum, and they're slowly building up my funds.
22:48 <Cepheid> Ah, good old raw OpenGL. Always a pain to figure out.
22:52 * Ali flops over Finwe and Schism as its snowing where unicorn is.
22:52 <Ali> Good old Winter Storm Warning too.
22:55 * Yuujin_Hiiragi gives Ali a borgar
22:55 * Schism asks Ali, "Do you want to build a snowman?"
22:55 * Ali doesn't know if this is going into a meme or what but boops Yuujin_Hiiragi and Schism
22:56 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> No meme here, I have borgar
22:56 <Yuujin_Hiiragi> I share borgar
22:57 * Finwe snuggles the Ali.
22:57 <Finwe> It's snowing here as well.
22:57 <Finwe> Since early morning, actually.
23:00 <Starlight_Glimmer> Am I crazy for kinda wanting a snow storm over night?
23:01 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean we have snow as well, but with the rain it's more like icy snow :(
23:04 * Starlight_Glimmer covers Ali in icy snow in the meantime.
23:05 * Ali squeaks and flails at Starlight_Glimmer
23:05 * Yuujin_Hiiragi gives Ali some chicken noodle soup for warms
23:06 * Schism takes away Lumin's chikkin noodle soup, and provides Ali with some tomato soup instead.
23:06 <Schism> (Ali doesn't like chicken noodle.)
23:06 * Ali got sick off that stuff long ago...has a bit of a nopes to that stuff.
23:07 <Finwe> I think I'm going to cook some carrot puré soup with ginger and garlic tomorrow.
23:07 <Schism> Ginger carrot soup is a good choice. o3o
23:11 <Starlight_Glimmer> Wait. There are people who don't like chicken soup?
23:11 * Starlight_Glimmer is increasingly suspicious Ali might be an alien.
23:12 <Schism> A bad batch of food, eaten earlier in one's life, can sometimes colour one's impression of said food thereafter.
23:12 <Finwe> Certain cute unicorns in the channel are of that kind of disposition, yes.
23:13 <Schism> I personally have issues with some foods myself, due to a case of food poisoning earlier in my days.
23:13 <Schism> So it's certainly not unique!
23:20 * Ali is not cute dang it
23:29 * Finwe patpats Ali.
23:29 * Dappled leaves out ribbons.
23:29 * Ali steals all the ribbons and leans into pats
23:33 <Cepheid> I walked away for 45 minutes, come back, I'm nearly 2 million credits rich.
23:36 <Cepheid> I should build up my station a bit.
23:36 <Cepheid> Holy geezus is it ever distinct how different the prescription is.
23:38 * Starlight_Glimmer smuggles the cute Ali under their blankets.
23:38 * Ali is not cute though
23:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yes, I have two blankets. And only partially because I'm a cheap skate when it comes to heating
23:39 <Cepheid> Okay... why are my shader's uniforms not available to the application?
23:39 * Cepheid sometimes uses 3 blankets.
23:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also that kinda makes you extra cute.
23:41 <Cepheid> Oh.
23:43 <Cepheid> There we go.
23:44 * Schism curls up in about 15 blankets.
23:44 <Schism> Oh. Laundry rollover, yay.
23:47 <Cepheid> Even during the adjustment period, I had some blurriness. But geezus hells alive, it wasn't as bad as with my old glasses prescription.
23:47 * Cepheid is keeping the old glasses purely for reading.
23:48 <Cepheid> I can't sleep with contacts in, so at night, I'll need a pair of glasses to do my reading. Right now I have to take the contacts out because I'm limited to 4 hours the first day, 6 the next, 8 the next, and so on.
23:54 <Cepheid> Here, station of mine. Have a million credits to build some expansions.
23:57 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, here shader of mine. Have some uniforms.
