00:08 <TormentedDragon> PinkieShy: Simple solution is to try to fit your foot into a regular-fit shoe that is a little bit larger than your size. If you fit without issue you're probably not wide-fit.
00:08 <TormentedDragon> As some who needs the extra wide-fit shoes, trust me, you know when the regular fit won't cut it.
00:08 <PinkieShy> Okie :3
00:09 <PinkieShy> Oddly enough they had very very little non-wide fit size 12 shoes though
00:09 <PinkieShy> which is a bit annoying..
00:09 <TormentedDragon> I wear an 8.5 wide. Trying to fit into even a 9 regular was clearly a no.
00:10 <TormentedDragon> i used to wear 9.5 just because I needed the width, before Wide fit became a thing.
00:22 * Dapper_Dappled explians that he is ahorse.
00:23 <Cepheid> What's an ahorse?
00:25 <Cepheid> I seriously wonder if using a VR headset with say, VRchat, can trigger dysphoria.
00:26 <Dapper_Dappled> Probably
00:27 <Schism> It's a possibility, yes.
00:27 <Cepheid> I would have to assume it does, because the headsets track your head, so if you look down and see a body that's not yours, it's likely to induce some weirdness.
00:28 <Cepheid> Alas, I'll never be able to test. Besides the extreme cost of a VR headset, I don't think I'd be able to wear one without giving myself a hefty migraine within 5-10 minutes.
00:29 * Ali flops over the Dapper_Dappled
00:29 * Dapper_Dappled hugs Ali.
00:29 <Cepheid> It's bad enough wearing headphones of any kind causes the infection in my sinuses and nasal cavity to get worse. I can't imagine what a heavy, warm VR headset would do.
00:30 <Cepheid> I *MIGHT* be able to get away with it if I had an A/C in my room or a fan on me.
00:30 <Cepheid> But I doubt it.
00:31 <Ali> VR is still a fad, give it time to fade away.
00:31 <Cepheid> Eh, I dunno.
00:32 <Cepheid> It works great for certain types of games. And it has value outside of gaming as well.
00:32 <Cepheid> Games wherein the player character is seated are best.
00:32 * Dapper_Dappled holds up Elite Dangerous.
00:32 <Cepheid> So, Elite Dangerous, X4, any flight simulator, any racing simulator..
00:33 <Cepheid> FPS games like DOOM or Half-Life? They managed to get them to work, but from what I understand, it's very finicky.
00:33 * Dapper_Dappled thinks a lot of the problem with VR is that it requires a lot of open space to play and a big portion of the audience doesn't have rooms with enough free space to play them.
00:33 <Cepheid> There's a disconnect between the movement of the character and the feeling or motion of movement.
00:34 <Cepheid> ...
00:34 * Ali boops Dapper_Dappled for Terraria sometime. Any world she generates forgets that caves are supposed to be a thing.
00:34 <Dapper_Dappled> Sure at somepoint.
00:34 <Cepheid> Something is wrong. My vision is warping, I'm feeling dizzy, and my hands and arms feel like something is stretching them. o3o
00:35 <Cepheid> It feels like I'm on a boat on rough seas.
00:35 * Dapper_Dappled will be achievement hunting next time he does Terraria. It's one of the ones he closest to completing.
00:36 * Dapper_Dappled holds Hades and Open World Game the Open World Game as games he's 100%
00:36 <Cepheid> As for the warping vision, it's like... I dunno. I look at my laptop's screen, and it feels/looks like the edges are waving around a bit, along with the text in it.
00:36 <Ali> I treid Terraria earlier today and the world didn't spawn a single cave to the east before the crimson, and to the west, just two caves that really didn't pan out far before hitting another crimson.

01:23 <Cepheid> That was a clustertruck.
01:24 <Cepheid> Tzitzi-Ya-Ku. He spawns in the same area as a Nargacuga.
01:24 <Schism> Fuuuun...
01:24 <Cepheid> So I dung bomb the Nargacuga. It runs off.
01:24 <Cepheid> Tzitzi promptly proceeds to run to the same area for no apparent reason.
01:24 <Cepheid> So I dung bomb the Nargacuga again.
01:25 <Cepheid> It runs off.
01:25 <Schism> ... um. ... more damage to each of them when they... keep fighting each other...?
01:25 <Cepheid> Tzitzi, meanwhile, decides "Hey, I want to flash this monster." and runs off AFTER THE NARGACUGA.
01:25 <Cepheid> And proceeds to flash it.
01:25 <Cepheid> It then runs off to another area.
01:25 <Cepheid> Wherein I encounter a Nightshade Paolumu.
01:25 <Schism> Ah.
01:25 <Cepheid> Tzitzi proceeds to flash *THAT*.
01:25 <Cepheid> Then runs off.
01:25 <Cepheid> Back to, you guessed it, the Nargacuga.

07:01 <Ali> I have some of their termies and bikes

08:41 <PinkieShy> This is like a full back chair..
08:41 <PinkieShy> If i sit up straight in this.. I feel like i'm leaning a little..
08:42 <ConfusionRift> This is a $30 Walmart office chair. Since it's faux leather, it's torn to pieces, and the plastic is cheap so it's warped and bubbled. I can lean... not much, or I think it'll not survive.
08:45 <PinkieShy> oh.. I know which one you are talking about xD

09:09 <Schism> Water Temples are evil. <.<
09:09 <ConfusionRift> Most are. :P
09:09 <Schism> Even LTTP's, involving those stupid water blobs which trained you to fight the boss, one heart at a time.
09:10 <ConfusionRift> They're either large and confusing, slow and confusing, or overdrawn... and confusing.
09:10 * Schism walks into the wall which contains the one item she needs to finish the run.
09:11 * ConfusionRift is reminded that he sometimes forgets about the pearl.
09:11 <ConfusionRift> I don't know why I would forget about something so crucial.
09:12 <Schism> Much easier to forget to help the old man, and forget about the mirror or whatever its replacement is.
09:12 <Schism> And then there's that room at the bottom of Hera's Tower which contains ONE CHEST
09:13 <ConfusionRift> What about the ice rod, which is both crucial and out of the way?
09:13 <Schism> Well, if you're just doing speedruns, sure, but half the time I get the ice rod in some random chest in Kakariko.
09:13 <Schism> Or I don't, and Trinexx never shows up at all.
09:14 <Schism> The Fire Rod... well, slightly more requisite.
09:16 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, the last speedrun I saw, they used the game map trick they previously used only in TAS to actually beat the game in realtime. It's just as screwy as the TAS.
09:17 <Schism> Impressive. Only one I've ever pulled off is the Death Mountain Descent, and that's of limited use without additional tricks.
09:18 <ConfusionRift> But the Fire Rod you can get naturally. Having something out of the way, and just finding it by whim, is not exactly a good thing. Still love the game. But if it wasn't because I knew of the rod, I would have avoided it completely, till the time I get to the freakin' turtle.
09:18 <ConfusionRift> I can't pull off jack. Not the precise or dexterous for much. :P
09:18 <ConfusionRift> *that, not the
09:24 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and that one time I somehow managed to fall on the bottom layer of Death Mountain, and could walk around normally. If I remember correctly, I was trying to get to the eastern most point of the mountain (which is blocked), and managed that... pointless, when I couldn't jump to the upper layer. So, reset.
09:32 <ConfusionRift> Okay, seriously, I shouldn't have bothered with special skills and whatnot in FO4. By investing in pure damage, and have managed way more.
09:53 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/HotPaperComics/status/1358406245615423496 Reminds me of the time I beat Grim Dawn without a weapon.
09:53 <Schism> Oh yeah, the Death Mountain Descent is a bit of an odd one...
09:53 <Schism> X3
09:53 <Schism> The devs were cheering you on, weren't they, Cephy?
09:54 <Schism> Bah. Rifty, there's a more foolproof way to do the DMD, but it involves the mirror and sword.
09:55 <Cepheid> Nah.
09:55 * ConfusionRift nods. :P
09:55 <Cepheid> They were more... "What?"
09:56 <Schism> Punch everything...
09:56 <Schism> Hehe.
09:56 <Cepheid> Course, it didn't help that at the time, I was asking if they could perhaps consider implementing a function to disable auto-equipping of a weapon, to make the build easier to manage.
09:57 <Schism> Mwehehe.
09:57 <Cepheid> I may have not been using a weapon, but that didn't mean that I wasn't picking them up to sell.
09:58 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, the game is designed to auto-equip stuff if the slot is empty.
09:58 <ConfusionRift> "Let's beat ALttP..." | Huh-uuuh? | "By simply grabbing the Triforce?" | Well, that's basically the objective of the game. So if- | (they beat it in 5 minutes by simply grabbing the Triforce) | ...listen, you little turd.
09:59 <Cepheid> So, if I go around picking up weapons to sell, I'll eventually pick up a one-handed weapon and auto-equip it.
09:59 <ConfusionRift> There's a reason why speedrunning now has sub-categories.
09:59 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
09:59 <Cepheid> During a stream I asked the devs to add a switch to disable that. They asked why.
09:59 <Cepheid> I told them, and they went "... What?"
10:00 <Cepheid> They were shocked I beat the final boss of the base game without a weapon because the game was not balanced for that.
10:02 <Cepheid> Turns out though, some of the on-attack procs still trigger even without a weapon.
10:03 <Cepheid> So, combine a bunch of those, and I mean a BUNCH of them.
10:03 <Cepheid> And you can easily deal a good amount of damage with no weapon.
10:03 <Cepheid> The biggest catch is level 1.
10:03 <Cepheid> At level 1, you cannot kill anything without a weapon.
10:04 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/Valehiisi/status/1357089400748969989/photo/1
10:06 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe. And I bet some tinkering when into patching some of that in the game.
10:08 <ConfusionRift> Also, interesting art.
10:08 <Schism> Hmm. Magical girl with the ability to split herself into two parts. If one part dies, the other regenerates into herself. Obvious way to kill her is obvious.
10:09 <Cepheid> The issue with the "no weapon == cannot kill first monster" is that all monsters regenerate health.
10:09 <Schism> So got to lead them into various traps, then?
10:09 <Cepheid> The amount they regenerate is so high that hitting them with your bare fist doesn't work.
10:10 <Cepheid> And hum, I had not considered traps. But I'm not sure there *ARE* any traps that are usable at that point in the game.
10:10 * Schism hmms.
10:10 * Cepheid goes and installs the game to see if maybe that's been resolved.
10:10 * Golden yawns. His necl is killing him from how stiff it feels.
10:11 <ConfusionRift> "Permanently heal 50% more health from irradiated foods." But... radiation cuts health.
10:12 <Cepheid> I think that's meant as a last-ditch thing.
10:12 <Cepheid> You're low on health, radiation buildup is low, and you need to heal up.
10:13 <Schism> Only a little...! C'mon, nom down on that Hermit Crab Meat for that tasty 100 HP and +1 END.
10:13 <Schism> Or that Deathclaw meat. It's only 6 rads.
10:14 * ConfusionRift noms on a Stingwing fillet for 130HP + 1 PER. :P
10:14 <ConfusionRift> I suck at cooking, but at least it's cooked. (tastes like ash)
10:18 * Schism doesn't know why she swallowed a bee, but now she's Illuminati.
10:18 <Schism> Ahem, apropos of nothing.
10:19 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, I guess it's the case of a last ditch effort for health, if one can't find anywhere to cook stuff in the wild.
10:19 <Schism> Plus, water fountains might restore more HP that way?
10:19 <Schism> There are still undeniably better perks out there, though.
10:23 <ConfusionRift> At least it was a free one, from a magazine.
10:23 <Cepheid> It's not that the enemies regenerate health.
10:23 <Cepheid> It's that they have damage reduction so high that punching them does 0 damage.
10:24 <ConfusionRift> Urgh, damage reduction.
10:38 * Cepheid sighs. Wonder's what's going on with the video card.
10:39 * Schism looks at DMFA. "Meovanni village?" She blinks, then goes 'ohhhhhh, right, DMFA was originally a Furcadia thingy.'
10:40 * Finwe noms on Cepheid's GPU.

10:47 * Finwe tastes of Maryland chicken.
10:49 <Schism> Chicken in bechamel with fried bananas? Interesting.
10:49 <Schism> Well, sautéed banana.
10:51 * ConfusionRift laughs. "Marksman's Shotgun. Okay."
10:52 <ConfusionRift> That sounds really good.
10:56 <Cepheid> Marksman's Shotgun. I'm no expert at guns, but wouldn't that just be a gun that fires shotgun-shell-sized slugs then?
10:59 <ConfusionRift> If it was the case in the game, it would make perfect sense, but no. Still using what I suspect is buckshot, and just has a long scope.
10:59 <Cepheid> At which point it's no longer a shotgun.
11:00 <ConfusionRift> It still is. There are rifled shotguns for slugs as well.
11:01 <Cepheid> Ah.
11:02 <ConfusionRift> See, it would had been awesome if the game did that, or there were shotgun slugs as optional ammo. Alas, this game ain't that advanced. :P
11:03 <ConfusionRift> So I can see the enemy a mile away, but have the effective range of me throwing a rock at someone's noggin. :P
11:03 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:04 <Cepheid> Ah, so wait I had the right idea then? A marksman's shotgun would be a scoped shotgun that fired slugs?
11:06 <Lumindia> can you really call a shotgun that fires slugs a 'shotgun'?
11:06 <Lumindia> unless there's some other clasification to calling a shotgun a 'shotgun' I"m missing

11:07 <Cepheid> Of everyone here, ConfusionRift would be the most likely to know.
11:12 <ConfusionRift> Technically, you're not wrong. A shotgun was named as such because it was capable of firing multiple bearing or shot (they clogged those with just about anything back then). Later down the line, they decided to develop a cartridge that was just one large projectile, instead of many small ones, which was very effective for large targets. Then, someone thought would be ideal to optimize said shotgun for said shot shell, so they
11:12 <ConfusionRift> used rifling for the barrel. They can still use regular shot and buckshot, just not a really good idea.
11:12 <ConfusionRift> Sorry for the long response.
11:15 <ConfusionRift> And then there are chokes, which are used to aid the spread on shotguns. There's a rifled one for slugs, but I'm still iffy about having just a bit of rifling at the end of a muzzle. I think it helps, but not as much as just using a rifled barrel.
11:17 <ConfusionRift> Just like rifles, some like to have a shotgun for a very specific task. So having the option to move from slugs when needed is always a plus.
11:19 <ConfusionRift> You know... I could've summarized all of that spam with a "the reason why it's still a shotgun is because it still functions like one".

11:50 <ConfusionRift> I have only got the good ending once. So... yeah. Ali might not be too happy about that either. :P
11:52 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, as you start and play the game, the ending is randomized. Apparently, that also happens while watching the demo, and it seems the parameters after watching the demo line up perfectly to get the good ending.
11:54 <ConfusionRift> Fun fact: The really bad ending is what was supposed to be the canonical ending to the series, which leads to the Zero series.

15:53 <Cepheid> The sound, when in the background, distracts me.
15:53 <Cepheid> But when it's not in the background, and I don't mind listening to the sound...
15:53 <Cepheid> It's hard to explain. It's like my body follows the frequency.
15:54 <Schism> Cepheid: It is said, in the Discworld, that Lord Vetinari hired a peculiar clockmaker to create a device which would keep perfectly accurate time -- and yet, the ticks and tocks were uneven. Sometimes a little bit, sometimes a few heartbeats would elapse before the 'tock'.
15:54 <Schism> And aside from the clock, and the sound of one's own breathing, there was nothing else to hear in the room.
15:55 * Cepheid suspects RFN III's BPM is some number that evenly divides 60, or is evenly divisible by 60.
15:56 <Cepheid> According to a calculator, it is 140 BPM.

20:18 <Schism> Starlight_Glimmer, I'm with my brother. :<
20:18 <Schism> Adra: I'm going to have to do so, yes.
20:18 <ADragonDreaming> Especially for when you have a battle where you want to change gear mid-fight, such as Kulve.
20:18 <Cepheid> I have about 60-70 or so or more myself.
20:19 <Cepheid> Yep. Too bad that's not viable with say, Alatreon for some reason.
20:19 <Finwe> !twilight time
20:19 <DerpyBot> It's not Twilight time right now, silly!
20:19 <Finwe> :(
20:19 <Schism> What th--
20:19 <Finwe> !starlight time
20:19 <Schism> How am I short on blue mushrooms. :<
20:19 * Finwe bounces around in front of Starlight_Glimmer.
20:19 <Finwe> Starlight time! Starlight time!
20:19 <ADragonDreaming> That's not too hard to fix.
20:19 <ADragonDreaming> Fill your tree with them.
20:19 <Cepheid> Yep.
20:19 * Cepheid flops. Wants to sleep now.
20:20 <ADragonDreaming> Or unlock and start using the Steamworks and then find them obsoleted.
20:20 <Schism> I'm going to be using the Steamworks, yes. Right now I'm making use of the Tree.
20:21 <Schism> But I do need Bitterbugs, Spider Webs, and Mandragoras, so that's what I'm harvesting now.
20:22 <Schism> I should just do a couple low-rank forest expeditions with a mushroom charm, gather up a bunch of crap and not give a crap about the Anjanath who wants to eat my face.
20:23 * Cepheid wanders off to shower in an attempt to wake up.
20:24 <ADragonDreaming> wouldn't it botanist charm?

20:54 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: Is Alatreon sounding kind of like a large bell a new thing in World? Or did he sound that way in Tri as well?
20:58 <Cepheid> And yeah, that's definitely the "quest complete" theme from Tri mixed into it's theme. Heh.
21:03 <ADragonDreaming> I have no idea.

21:06 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming: Hmm. Judging from old videos, it's a new thing. His roar sounds like a loud bell. It seems to act as a replacement for the bell sound in his theme.
21:06 <Schism> Hm, damn shame. I wanted to CAPTURE that Tobi-Kadachi...

21:07 * Finwe hats on Ali.
21:07 <Schism> Oh. Palico gets extra training exp. if you DON'T bring it on the hunt.
21:08 <Cepheid> There's also a food skill that provides extra training EXP.
21:08 <Cepheid> You might have had that active.
21:14 <Schism> There. I now have over 120 screamer pods. Black Diabolos, Jyuratodus, et al, I'm going to murder you all.
21:16 <Cepheid> Mmm. Is Jyura susceptible to those? I never tried. I know Beotodus is, but the window is so small that it's nearly pointless.
21:17 <Schism> When it's underwater, yeah, but you have to hit one of the odd islandish bits.
21:18 <Schism> Gonna have to grow more Parashrooms soon...
21:18 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, it's surprisingly effective against Diablos and Black Diablos, and surprisingly easy to pull off.

21:21 <Cepheid> Right, class time. Following that, I'll need an hour or two to record a verbal version of an essay for Japanese class.

22:09 <Schism> Awr. Captured Radobaan, didn't get that slice of him that fell off.
22:12 <LibrarianofHope> i always have liked capturing rathalos

22:34 <PinkieShy> Neat..
22:34 <LibrarianofHope> my turn
22:34 <PinkieShy> Looking at better massage pillow things..
22:35 <PinkieShy> They have one that uses vibration and heat to massage the lower back.. More expensive but looks promising to me :D

23:01 <Cepheid> I'm tired of this. Tired of constantly slacking and not getting work done. Every semester I do it, every semester I drive myself into a depression over it. The simplest solution to the problem is to simply put my big computer and consoles away, such that I stop wasting my time in games all day long.
23:02 * Cepheid is getting somewhat stressed.
23:06 <Cepheid> The only reason I don't do this, is, as is the norm, I am convinced against it by people around me.
23:08 * Finwe noms on Cepheid's computer and consoles.
23:08 <Cepheid> The general argument for putting stuff away is that I'll get off my lazy butt and start working. The general argument *AGAINST* putting the stuff away, is that I should be allowed to have downtime and such.
23:08 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, I lack self-control.
23:09 <ADragonDreaming> My suggestion would be to set up some kind of time-locked system. Where something or someone other than you dictates access to the entertainment avenue.
23:10 <ADragonDreaming> time-lock safe is rather expensive, but you could, for example, put power cord or something similarly necessary for playing in something of that nature, where it only opens at specific times.
23:10 <ADragonDreaming> The low-tech alternative is turn over custody of such things to the parents.
23:12 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, the parents are the ones who convince me against such measures.
23:12 <Cepheid> So I can't rely upon them for that.
23:14 <ADragonDreaming> HAve you been proposing putting it all away and never touching it for days on end, or have you proposed the limited access on a daily basis before?
23:14 *** Joins: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-l010ql.mi.comcast.net)
23:15 <ADragonDreaming> The thing is that downtime is, absolutely, something you need. If you want to switch said downtime to other, non-computer activities, that's fine too - reading is always good. But attempting to do nothing but work work work will wind up being a problem of a different nature.
23:16 <ADragonDreaming> You want to try to find balance - outside help to find that balance can be very useful. Forcible restriction (voluntary, of course, but removing control of it from yourself) can help train the self-control.
23:16 <ADragonDreaming> It might be how you present the idea that gets buy in.
23:16 <ADragonDreaming> Those are my two cents - I must go eat dinner with fam.
23:19 <Cepheid> Mmm.
23:33 <Schism> Five HR Monsters in the Ancient Forest -- complete.
23:35 <Finwe> Next onto R&D monsters?

23:38 <Schism> Well, five monsters in an hour is a bit of a tricky hunt.
23:38 <Schism> I'll hold off on the desert for now. Instead... HR Barroth.
23:38 <Schism> ...in the desert.
