00:13 <Cepheid> Geeze, no wonder my station's not been receiving parts. Default pricing has it set to really low values.
00:20 * Schism makes four waffles. Then she pauses, puts peanut butter and jam on them, and eats that.
00:20 <Schism> Sometimes I have strange cravings.
00:25 <Schism> What I should be doing is putting some bacon and grape jelly on them.

01:45 <Cepheid> Hum. Got myself a combat ship to do some fun stuff while my ships mine ever so slowly.
01:54 <Cepheid> "Mission difficulty: Hard" "Reward: 11,000,000 credits." .... Yeah, I think I'll avoid that one.
01:58 * Ali noms on Cepheid's ship
01:58 <Cepheid> Geezus game, thanks for warning me that I was going into a Xenon-filled sector.
01:58 <Ali> Yes curse that printer ink!
01:58 <Cepheid> That said, a mission took me to that area that was described as "easy"
01:58 <Cepheid> So, it's probably not that bad if I just fight the smaller ships and avoid the larger ones.
02:01 <Cepheid> Pick up some mines, some laser turrets, hmm... Also upgrade the engines and thrusters to Mark 3, now that I can afford those.

02:11 <Schism> There. Corned beef and cabbage tomorrow.
02:11 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, the upgrades have caused a minor problem in the form of "This station doesn't have enough parts for the upgrades and thus needs me to source them."
02:17 <Cepheid> I need me another scout, so... let's craft a new ship 'cause I have over a million again. I wonder what my net worth is.
02:18 <Cepheid> 4 million, looks like.
02:18 * Ali boops Schism. "Its not st patty's day yet."
02:19 <Schism> I'm Irish, it doesn't have to be St. Patty's Day.
02:19 * Schism boops Ali with a pot of the aforementioned stew.
02:19 * Ali squeaks
02:20 <Schism> Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, celery, onions, carrots. All in a nice pot with a couple spices.
02:34 * Ali noms on the Schism ear

02:34 <Cepheid> Yes?

02:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know.
02:35 * Schism headtilts thereat. o.O
02:36 <Schism> Nice take on The Truth Never Spoken, though.
02:41 <Cepheid> Oh gods. I am going to have to play through the game with this music.
02:42 <Cepheid> There's actually another version of The Truth Never Spoken by it's creator.
02:42 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVH81ihuA4g
02:42 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
02:42 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about The Truth Never Spoken (Energetic Trance Mix)
02:43 <Cepheid> I really hope 3R2 is working on the music for the next game from Gema.

02:48 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about M.R. (Rabi-Ribi) - GaMetal Remix
02:49 <Cepheid> Heh.
02:52 * Schism then goes back to listening to RFN - III on repeat. o3o
02:57 * Cepheid cancels upgrade until she can find a source of weapon components that has stock.
02:58 <Cepheid> And to do THAT, I'm gonna find out what's needed to MAKE them.
03:00 <Cepheid> Apparently the factory needs hull parts.
03:04 <ADragonDreaming> you never really realize just how much STUFF you have until you need to move it
03:05 <Cepheid> Heh.
03:12 * Cepheid wanders to that earlier Xenon sector to blow up some enemies.
03:12 * Cepheid saves before entering, because sanity.
03:14 * Cepheid goes in, looks around, sees a capital ship. "Nope."

03:39 * Dappled nods.
03:43 <Schism> "We could rip it from its hiding place. But it's so entwined with the current enchantments that it would destabilize the lot, and then we'd have a bomb on our hands. We could nullify what we can see, but that would probably still leave us with a bomb on our hands. We could nullify everything, and we'd have a pretty piece of jewelry." "Which might still be a bomb." "Yes."
03:44 <Schism> "And still on our hands." "Also yes."
03:45 * Ali flops over the Schism and yawns in a bored manner.
03:46 * Schism provides the Ali with a slice of corned beef on rye, with saurkraut and thousand island dressing and a nice sharp cheese.
03:47 <Schism> It's 11 PM, I need to sleep soon because work. :< A few days before I get a vacation...
03:52 <Cepheid> Yeah, I should get to sleep too.

06:36 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
06:38 <Dappled> Hello
06:55 <ConfusionRift> Who... who... who sets their movement keys to W H S D?
06:56 <Cepheid> What game did that?
06:57 <ConfusionRift> Someone was playing some odd smithing games, and one of them had the movements sets by default as WHSD, with H being left.
07:01 <Cepheid> Huh.
07:02 <ConfusionRift> Ah, there it is. My Little Blacksmith.
07:02 <ConfusionRift> $10... for a game that's basic, has no music or sound, and the controls are super wonky...
07:04 <Cepheid> Heh.
07:04 <Cepheid> And here I am, debating if I want to even accept money for a game I make at this point in time.
07:05 <ConfusionRift> It's up to you. But if you do, remember, the clientele nowadays is incredibly savage.
07:05 * Filly_Nightmares hungry!
07:06 * Filly_Nightmares noms ConfusionRift
07:06 * ConfusionRift patpats Filly_Nightmares, :P
07:06 * Filly_Nightmares bleps
07:07 <Cepheid> https://foxtrot.com/2021/01/31/pre-gaming/ I feel like this is everyone.
07:08 <ConfusionRift> If you do want to go for the money route, might wanna put your best out there. I know that there's Early Access and you can patch it later on. But I feel that putting your best on your first go is the better option, even on early access.
07:08 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
07:08 <Cepheid> My plan actually at this point is either "donations accepted" or "5 dollars."
07:09 <ConfusionRift> That could work. Plenty of places one can publish with no real set price, or accepting above a limit.
07:10 <Cepheid> itch.io comes to mind.
07:10 <ConfusionRift> That's one, yes.
07:10 <Cepheid> It's generally considered the go-to for new developers.
07:10 * Ali flops over Cepheid and grumps. "I feel stupid that I took all these core fragements to space thinking the space crusher would work..."
07:10 <Cepheid> Truth told, I had no idea if it would or not.
07:10 <Cepheid> So I had considered the idea.
07:12 <Cepheid> Also, that news the other day I mentioned. Apparently the person's already listed as a dev on the Factorio forums now, so...
07:12 <Cepheid> Earendel, the developer of Space Exploration, is a Factorio dev, now.
07:12 <Cepheid> Hell of a promotion, that.
07:13 <ConfusionRift> Niice.
07:13 <ConfusionRift> Actually, I wonder if they will decide to add a bit more to the game as is.
07:14 <Cepheid> I have no idea what his goals are as a Factorio dev, as he hasn't said much in regards to that, due to not wanting to get people's hopes up and such, but it sounds more like they intend to focus on the modding API.
07:16 <Cepheid> Which makes sense.
07:18 * ConfusionRift nods.
07:18 <Cepheid> I don't like that this is happening. I power up my PC, and I get the POST beep code for "No VGA detected" but yet, once Windows boots up, everything's fine.
07:19 <ConfusionRift> o_0
07:19 <Cepheid> No VGA doesn't necessarily mean "It won't boot"
07:19 <Cepheid> It's possible to boot without a video card in many situations, and sometimes desirable.
07:19 <ConfusionRift> I know, it's GPU related.
07:19 <Cepheid> But yeah.
07:19 <Ali> Bleh, no real easy way to make cosmic water is there.
07:20 <ConfusionRift> But it's one of those "you're saying I don't have it... but you're using it" situations.
07:20 <Cepheid> Probably a case of "It's not powering up/loading the BIOS quickly enough for the POST to notice it."
07:21 <ConfusionRift> Wait, which beep code are you getting?
07:22 <Cepheid> Explicitly "No VGA"
07:22 <Cepheid> I already looked it up.
07:22 <Cepheid> It's been happening for a few days now.
07:22 <Cepheid> One long beep, followed by 3 short beeps.
07:22 <Cepheid> It's ASUS, for the record, and that code means "No VGA."
07:25 <Cepheid> It just worries me because it started happening, and really I can't afford any new hardware at the moment if it breaks.
07:26 <Cepheid> It still functions otherwise. Games, no issue, etc.
07:27 <ConfusionRift> Have you reseated the GPU?
07:27 <Cepheid> I have yet to test that, but mostly because after it's heated up it's fine for subsequent boots. I suspect it's a cold-boot or cold-environment thing.
07:28 <ConfusionRift> Maybe it's loose enough that it's not having a connection, till there's full power, and then arcs a connection.
07:28 <ConfusionRift> Probable thermal expansion.
07:32 <ConfusionRift> Just check if you can, wouldn't hurt. Later on when possible.
07:33 <ConfusionRift> Check prompt to move as it may graphics in card must power by countable extracted personally.
07:34 * ConfusionRift freezes for a second... reboots.
07:34 * Cepheid looks at credit amount in X4. "I can afford a much larger mining ship now. But that in itself carries risk."
07:35 <Cepheid> ... Shite.
07:35 * ConfusionRift gasps.
07:35 <Cepheid> My Demeter was just attacked and destroyed by a Maurader.
07:35 * ConfusionRift gasps again.
07:36 * Ali stares hard at SE. "GAME, don't make me have to redo everything again in space.
07:36 <Cepheid> Two lines. Hum.
07:36 <Cepheid> So that means it's one class higher than me.
07:36 * Cepheid saves and goes to avenge ship.
07:37 <Cepheid> Let's see what happens, I'm in a heavily-decked out ship as is.
07:37 <Cepheid> Worst case, I die, and reload. Best case, I get vengeance, or a new ship.
07:38 * ConfusionRift misses games where one can find wreckages that one can either own, repair, or sell as hulls.
07:40 <Cepheid> Hey guess what?
07:40 <Cepheid> I just destroyed it's engines, and I'm in it's blind spot.
07:40 <Cepheid> It can't move, it can't fight back.
07:40 <Cepheid> You're dying.
07:42 <Cepheid> "Unauthorized kill." "Unauthorized kill." "Faction points lost." ... You think I care? You attacked me first.
07:42 * ConfusionRift sees a escape pod jettison out of the ship. "I wonder what they're doi-" The ship explodes, with said explosion expanding towards him. "Well now, this sucks-" Communications ended.
07:43 <Cepheid> "Split ask you to show mercy!" ... Where the hell was the mercy for MY ship?
07:44 <Cepheid> I'd take it over, but I lack the forces to do so.
07:45 <Cepheid> That hurt, but... I destroyed it.
07:45 <Cepheid> I got lucky, another shot would have done me in, but then I landed in that blind spot.
07:46 <Cepheid> I should not have won that, but by targeting the engines I gave myself the advantage I needed.
07:46 <Cepheid> It couldn't move, or re-orient itself to face me.
07:47 <ConfusionRift> [They called for mency, and you shot them down.] | (points angrily at the hole in the hull, and two thrusters turned to debris) YOU CALL THIS A BASIS FOR MERCY?!
07:47 * Ali waits on flat solar panels
07:48 <Ali> Also I really need to figure out this stupid data crap
07:48 <Ali> It needs three points to make three different cards..
07:49 * Cepheid repairs ship, also upgrades engines and thrusters.
07:50 <Cepheid> I don't think I got any bounty for killing that ship. Bleh.
07:51 <Cepheid> Nope.
07:51 <ConfusionRift> [I see you made improvements to avoid a repeat of the last incident.] | Of course! Now I can kill them quicker. | [...no.]
07:53 <Cepheid> Heh.
07:53 <Cepheid> Honestly that was annoying. That ship cost me nearly a million credits, and had a pilot I was training to 3-star.
07:53 <Cepheid> I mean sure, I got 5-6 million credits now, but that training is lost.
07:55 <Cepheid> It also destroyed a 1,200,000 credit defensive ship.
07:55 <Cepheid> And there's nothing I could have done either, it was of a higher size class. At least L-class, I'm only able to afford M-class ships right now.
07:56 <Cepheid> Oh that's not good. Xenon are building a station near a high-travel jumpgate.
07:57 <Cepheid> And yeah. A basic combat ship at L size is 6,200,000 credits JUST FOR THE SHIP. Not the engines or anything.
07:59 <Cepheid> And I can't determine actual cost to build because I don't have authorization to buy destroyers.
08:01 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony!
08:01 <Cepheid> Interestingly I may just be able to straight up get a promotion to buy one. My rank with my home faction is +16, much higher than the +10 needed for medium combat craft.

08:18 <Cepheid> This next mission needs satellites... Does this wharf also have enough weapon parts to upgrade my weapons, I wonder?
08:18 <Finwe> Alright, alright, you cannot make snowballs out of that kind of snow, it's too cold.
08:18 <Cepheid> It does.
08:18 <Finwe> Meaning that the whining is perfectly justified.
08:19 <Cepheid> My current ship is as stronk as it can be now.
08:19 <Cepheid> For the moment anyways.
08:25 <Finwe> Ship stronk.
08:27 <Cepheid> Ship also very lucky. I fought something larger than it earlier, and managed to win through abuse of a blindspot.
08:30 <Cepheid> Acquire 3 pilots. Okay then.

08:36 <Starlight_Glimmer> Breakfast now or later? :3
08:36 <Cepheid> One would assume on a wharf, known for building ships, one would find pilots.

09:53 <RazorSharpFang> These are certainly interesting times we live in.
09:54 <RazorSharpFang> No matter how many times I get jabbed up the nose I still get watery eyes.
09:54 <ConfusionRift> Because it's all part of the sinus system.
09:54 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
09:54 <Cepheid> There are a lot of nerves there.
09:54 <Cepheid> They aren't meant to be poked.
09:55 <ConfusionRift> Mouth, throat, eyes, ears, nose.
09:56 <Cepheid> There's a reason why my sinuses and nose go haywire when I block airflow into my ears.
09:56 <Cepheid> Or wear headphones causing my ears to no longer radiate enough heat.
09:56 <Cepheid> Not sure which of the two it is, exactly.
09:59 <Finwe> The air does not get very deep into your ears, any air entering through the ear canal is blocked by the eardrum.
09:59 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)
09:59 <Cepheid> Then it's likely entirely heat-related.
10:00 <Finwe> In some cases, though, the pressure difference across the eardrum can cause symptoms.
10:00 <Cepheid> But it happens with over-the-ear or on-the-ear regardless, and in-the-ear I don't have enough experience with.
10:00 <Golden> Poyo
10:00 <Cepheid> I just know that if I'm wearing headphones, my sinuses and nose go haywire to painful, disgusting levels.
10:00 <Finwe> Like during airplane takeoff or landing.
10:01 <Cepheid> Not quote.
10:01 <Cepheid> Er, quite*
10:01 <RazorSharpFang> Quote is the past tense of quite.

10:02 <Finwe> Quite, quote, quitten.
10:02 <Cepheid> It's more a fever and pain not unlike what I imagine getting a needle jammed into your face feels like.
10:03 <Cepheid> I just had a sudden sense of deja vu.
10:03 <Finwe> Déjà vu.
10:04 <Finwe> This strange sensation that something we see or experience has happened before.
10:04 <Finwe> Tonight on "It's the Mind" we examine déjà vu…
10:05 <Cepheid> Listening to music with headphones, laying in bed, with an itchy eye, and the specific song I'm listening to. All these details, in this exact configuration, I've experienced this before.
10:06 * Cepheid claws at ConfusionRift, and throws numerous Cocoa Bombs at him.
10:06 <RazorSharpFang> Also, turns out I have a heart rate of 52 bpm
10:06 <Finwe> https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2tmmc2
10:07 * ConfusionRift is bombarded with cute looking flying bombs of death and despair.
10:07 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, Cocoa Mode is limited only to speedrun mode, because the cutscenes make no sense with her as the lead character.
10:08 <ConfusionRift> They could've just... disabled the cutscenes on her mode. Well, at least it's not Boss Rush only.
10:08 <ConfusionRift> Like the others.
10:08 <Cepheid> Speedrun mode basically does that, actually.
10:08 <Cepheid> Skips all the cutscenes.
10:09 <Cepheid> I still need to do that Hell run.
10:09 <Cepheid> With the same ruleset as the Hard run. No consumables, no badges.
10:11 <ConfusionRift> I'm way too cold for this one. I mean, I'm getting those starting struggles with Hollow Knight.
10:11 <Cepheid> Hmm?
10:11 <Cepheid> Too cold? I'm not sure I follow.
10:12 <ConfusionRift> I know it hasn't been that long, but I'm out of practice.
10:12 <Cepheid> Oh, that.
10:12 <Cepheid> It's like riding a bike, I find. You pick it back up quickly.
10:13 * Cepheid grabs controller. Is too tired to do this, but at the same time, can't sleep. So might as well just endure and fix the sleep cycle.
10:15 <Cepheid> Just realized I'm gonna be playing this game on a 50" display this time. o3o
10:19 <Cepheid> Do I want to sequence break...?
10:19 <Cepheid> Nah.

10:44 <Cepheid> I am not looking forward to fighting Miriam without consumables again.

19:13 <ADragonDreaming> Bon.
19:13 <ADragonDreaming> Ca suffit, pour le moment.
19:14 <Finwe> You must mean "Ça suffit".
19:14 <ADragonDreaming> Indeed, but this keyboard does not make it easy to access the right C.
19:15 <ADragonDreaming> A proper French keyboard would, but I have none availab.
19:15 <ADragonDreaming> *available
19:15 <ADragonDreaming> In fact, all diacritics require extra effort.
19:16 <Finwe> AltGr-c did the trick.
19:16 <ADragonDreaming> I got no results.
19:16 <ADragonDreaming> perhaps in an editor like word
19:16 <Finwe> Compose-c-, is another option, but I think that OS X doesn't support Compose.
19:17 <ADragonDreaming> Windows laptop, so...
19:17 <Finwe> Windows is a bit tricky, because whatever codepage you're using doesn't usually include any extra characters.
19:20 <ADragonDreaming> Alt-0199\
19:20 <ADragonDreaming> Ça suffit.
19:20 <Finwe> Pressing Alt and typing the Unicode number ofter works, but not always.
19:21 <Finwe> Oh, and there is an open source Compose application for Windows.
19:22 <Finwe> https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose
19:23 <Finwe> Basically, you define some useless key to be compose, and then you can use it like Compose on UNIX-style systems.
19:27 <Finwe> E.g. Compose-a-: or Compose-a-" for ä, Compose-c-, for ç, Compose-e-' for é and so on.
19:44 * Starlight_Glimmer binds Finwe's nose to compose.

20:20 <Finwe> Don't worry, you'll get back to work after your vacation.
20:21 <Schism> It's one of those 'the closer it gets, the more twitchy I become' sorts of thing.
20:21 * Finwe offers a bowl of spinach soup to Schism.
20:22 * Schism drizzles some eggs over a fork into the boiling soup.
20:23 <Finwe> Our local way is to hard-boil the eggs, cleave them in twain and put the halves into the soup.
20:23 <Schism> A fine enough choice. Either way, you get cooked eggs in the soup.
20:23 <Finwe> Like this: https://receptfavoriter.se/sites/default/files/spenatsoppa_med_agg_1060.jpg
20:23 <Schism> Ah, now that's a different type of spinach soup!
20:24 <Finwe> My soup looks different, as I used blender.
20:25 <Finwe> It's more like this: https://nordicwellness.se/media/648627/recept-enkel-spenatsoppa-stor.jpg
20:26 <Finwe> Seasoned with nutmeg, white pepper, marjoram, chervil and thyme.
20:27 <Finwe> Otherwise it's just spinach and chicken stock.
20:27 <Schism> Sounds about right for a nice straightforward soup. I'd add actual chicken, though. o3o
20:27 * Cepheid stretches and yawns.
20:28 <Schism> Well, more than the boneless chicken I already mentioned.
20:31 * Schism returns to the last hour and a half of the day.
20:31 <Finwe> But then it would not be spinach soup anymore.
20:31 <Finwe> It would be chicken soup with spinach.
20:31 <Schism> Finwe: The boneless chicken in question has never had any bones. So it remains spinach soup, just with some guaranteed 100% boneless chicken.
20:33 <Finwe> Unfertilised chicken?
20:34 <Finwe> Hen's menorrhoea.

22:14 <Cepheid> Hilariously that mission, I can see it being a reality.
22:14 <Cepheid> It's a type of frequent mission.
22:14 <Cepheid> Basically, a person goes to a location, and suddenly a bunch of mines activate around them, and ransomware is applied. The ransom is either paid, or the mines destroy the ship.
22:18 <Cepheid> ... Wait wait wait, what?

23:37 <Dappled> Oh right.
23:37 <Dappled> Weather mon, right?
23:37 <Ali> It only appears on the isle during rain/thunderstorm
23:52 <Schism> I should, I suppose, get Sword/Shield, shouldn't I. You know, soon.
23:53 * Dappled shrugs. Like most pokemon games, it's the worst one to come out.
23:54 * Dappled points out how at least since XY people have complaining that the current gen is the worst gen.
23:54 <Schism> No doubt. Well, there are better things to buy first. Like Mario Odyssey, or Breath of the Wild.
23:54 * Dappled can agree with this.
23:54 <Schism> Or, you know, MH Rise.
23:54 <Ali> The biggest flaw of Swd/Shd is its cost
23:54 * Dappled likes BotW.
23:55 <Ali> $90 for a lackluster pokemon game is really stupid
23:55 <Ali> While $40 was good for like Platinum when it came out.
23:55 <Schism> Mm. No PKMN current-gen for me, then.
23:55 <Dappled> That's with the expansion packs, Schism.
23:55 <Ali> Sadly the expansion pass is PER game
23:56 <Ali> So if you're a loner like me, it would be $180 to have both stupid games and DLC
23:56 <Dappled> Consider that like with Monster Hunter, Pokemon did the same thing for a long time.
23:56 <Ali> Not to mention you'd need a second switch...
23:56 * Ali shakes hoof, why do trade evo's still exist
23:56 <Dappled> Release a version and then wait, and then release another version with expanded content.
23:56 <Schism> I would let my brother get a Switch for himself in this circumstance and pick up the other game. If he were at all interested, which he is not.
23:56 * Ali boops Dappled, that's what the 3rd version of the games were for.
23:57 <Dappled> Yes, but you had to wait for that version.
23:57 * Schism steals Ali's Kadabra and runs off with the result.
23:57 <Ali> Jokes on you, I never catch them cause I can't evolve them
23:57 <Ali> Or wait better jerk move
23:57 * Schism is immediately betrayed by a Pokemon who refuses to obey her commands.
23:57 * Ali gives the Kadabra an Everstone.
23:57 * Dappled would like to point out that SwSh did a good thing with trade evos.
23:57 <Schism> Ali: :<
23:57 <Dappled> Having them be able to be caught in the wild.
23:58 <Ali> Helps a little, but find it annoying as you can't breed them
23:58 <Ali> Cause they'll be Lvl 1 of the basic form
23:58 <Dappled> You can still bottle cap them or ability patch them.
23:58 <Schism> And heaven forfend if their IVs aren't up to snuff.
23:58 <Dappled> Thus Bottle Caps.
23:58 <Ali> Schism, that did fix that a little
23:59 <Ali> The bottle caps
23:59 * Schism doesn't even know what bottle caps are in this context.
23:59 <Ali> But the mon has to be Lvl 100
23:59 <Dappled> Hyper trained IVs aren't inheritable, but they match perfect IVs.
23:59 <Ali> Schism, they were added in Gen 7
23:59 <Ali> Using a normal bottle cap raised an IV to max
23:59 <Ali> While a gold one raised all of them to max
23:59 <Ali> But these items are stupid rare
23:59 * Dappled points out that you can grind for them in the battle tower.
