00:17 <Cepheid> Right, last revision of essay, all I need to do now is record myself saying it all.
00:18 <Schism> Thunderbugs and parashrooms...
00:21 <Schism> Dodogama. Poison and... lightning.
00:21 <Finwe> !lullaby
00:21 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed
00:21 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby
00:21 <Finwe> !shoo
00:21 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"
00:22 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
00:31 <Schism> Miasma and Antipara from Dodogama. Don't mind if I do.
00:32 <Schism> That makes Antipara #3.
00:34 * Ali noms on Schism's items
00:35 * Lumindia noms on Ali
00:39 * Ali squeaks at Lumindia
00:39 * Lumindia squeaks back
00:39 * Ali hides under Lumindia
00:40 * Lumindia applies warms to Ali
00:40 <Lumindia> Ali is soft and comfy
00:40 * Lumindia patpat
00:42 * LibrarianofHope lumindias a bunch
00:52 * Lumindia isn't a verb
00:54 * Filly_Nightmares purr because is her burthmis!
00:54 * Filly_Nightmares meows and sit on Lumindia!
00:54 * Lumindia o wo
00:54 <Lumindia> it a surry birf?
00:54 <Lumindia> hap birf!
00:55 * Filly_Nightmares mow and nomfs Lumindia!
00:55 * Lumindia gives Surry a slice of cake and puts a party hat on them
00:55 <Lumindia> \o/
00:55 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs cake and rolls onto her back and floofs up!
00:56 * Lumindia bellyrub!
00:56 <Lumindia> o vo
01:05 <Schism> Hmm. MH movie quest 1 complete. Interesting so far. Also, Black Diablos now OBLITERATED (though it took a few pokes at the wingdrakes).

01:25 <Schism> This becomes a problem when the Rathalos in question belly-slams the player five times in a row.
01:26 <Cepheid> There. Schoolwork for tonight is done.
01:27 <Cepheid> Now I'll let myself relax.
01:27 <Schism> And now I want to take a nap. ._.
01:36 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming, are you MonHanning?
01:38 <Cepheid> Also, with regards to earlier, I think what my problem is, is stage fright. Having to speak in front of other people. Because if I read or write, I'm perfectly fine. I remember the structures, and the words, while I don't remember them immediately, I know what to search for in a dictionary, and once I use them a few times, my memory retains them. Speech though..
01:38 <Cepheid> I keep drawing blanks. A lot. Even for simple sentences.
01:39 <Cepheid> It makes me feel as though I may or may not be studying as much as I should be, that I'm not practicing enough, etc, etc, etc.
01:39 <Cepheid> That I'm falling back into old habits.
01:39 <ADragonDreaming> Monday night is my D&D voice game, which I usually pick some game and stream in that discord channel in the time leading up to start. Which I'd been doing, but then saw the message that plans changed - DM had a limited chance to hang out with someone they don't usually hang out with.
01:40 <Cepheid> Ah.
01:40 <ADragonDreaming> Yeah, speaking an unfamiliar language in front of other people, especially when everyone's going to be paying attention to you, is a harrowing thing.
01:47 * Ali couldn't do it even in english
01:47 <Ali> Didn't help we didn't know I had autism
01:47 <Ali> Cause I absolutely dreaded doing any class presentation in front of anyone..
01:55 <Cepheid> Hum, one more hunt should get Coral Region to level 5. At which point I can fight a Tempered Legiana.
01:57 <Cepheid> Oh look, a tempered teostra has appeared on the field. Let's... just send it away.
02:02 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2429 [ https://tinyurl.com/yxf9jwpx ]
02:03 * Schism watches it appear from behind and eat Cepheid's face.
02:08 <Cepheid> Yeah, that didn't happen.
02:08 <Cepheid> Once I lured a Tzitzi out, the Teostra disappeared.
02:09 <Cepheid> There can only be an Elder Dragon + 1 Large Monster on the field.
02:11 * Ali spawns a new Teostra to make the Tzitzi despawn
02:23 * Schism spawns 2 Banbaro through the field.
02:26 <Cepheid> Interestingly, Tzitzi does not react well to banishing balls on aggressive monsters.
02:26 <Cepheid> Tzitzi is programmed to run up to the larger monster and flash it, then run off.
02:27 <Cepheid> But if the monster in question suddenly departs the area to go to wherever it goes to leave the field, Tzitzi will follow it all the way to that spot.
02:27 <Cepheid> As a result, when the monster leaves, he *THEN* goes on a long journey to the nearest valid area for him to be fought in.
02:35 <Ali> Why does the Mega Man 5 OST sound off?

06:57 * ConfusionRift as a plush huggles Ali. :P
07:13 * Ali blarghs to ConfusionRift as there's not much to do.
07:13 * ConfusionRift blargs as well. "There really isn't."
07:17 <ConfusionRift> Just watching videos, to keep some of the sanity.
07:18 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com)
07:19 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, Ali, do you remember that garbage that was the randomized endings in MMX5?
07:19 <Ali> Yeah, what about X5?
07:19 <ConfusionRift> Did you know you can very easily manipulate it to get the good ending?
07:20 * Golden 100%'d Shantae Risky's Revenge.
07:20 <ConfusionRift> Awesomesauce. Now to Pirate's Curse. :P
07:20 <Ali> Yep, seen the speedrun
07:20 <Ali> You can manipulate it 100% of the time
07:21 <ConfusionRift> Aah. That part kinda got me angry. :P
07:21 <Golden> What do you think I am doing ConfusionRift ?
07:21 <ConfusionRift> Oh, I see.
07:22 <Golden> I 100%'d 1/2 genie hero, seven sirens, and currently working on Pirate's Curse xD
07:22 * ConfusionRift thumbs up. Did too.
07:23 * Ali doesn't own the last game and probably won't.
07:23 <Golden> If Shantae gets on switch I will do that game too.
07:25 <ConfusionRift> Ali: If it's Seven Sirens, you aren't missing much per say. It wasn't bad, just kinda expected a bit more.
07:25 <ConfusionRift> The map is pretty big too.
07:25 <Golden> Note Seven Sirens was originally made for the crappy Apple Arcade
07:25 * ConfusionRift looks at Axion Verge. "Not THAT big."
07:25 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately, yeah.
07:26 <Golden> It definitely feels better on actual places like switch
07:27 <ConfusionRift> The good thing is we got the whole thing, while it was episodic for them. The bad thing was it still felt a bit like an app game. A lot of changes, ESPECIALLY the music.
07:28 <Golden> Personally I enjoyed Seven Sirens. My great grandma even surprised me by ordering the collectors edition of it on Limited Run as a surprise birthday gift last year. Of course that was when pre-orders for it was being taken.
07:28 <Golden> I enjoyed it more than the Pure platformer of 1/2 genie hero.
07:29 <ConfusionRift> I still prefer Pirate's Curse. Which is funny, because it's the least Shantae... Shantae game. :P
07:30 <Golden> The only thing I didn't like of Seven Sirens was how cryptic of turning poison water into regular water was
07:30 <ConfusionRift> 1/2 Genie Hero was too streamlined for my taste, and the sprite changes (which are the same as Seven Sirens) bother me.
07:32 <ConfusionRift> Seven Sirens was just... big. It was relatively easy, and a bit of no brainer in a lot of parts. And others were stupidly cryptic for what one was supposed to do, simply because of something they never explained.
07:32 <Golden> I honestly like the current sprites. After seeing them from Risky's Revenge, and Pirate's Curse it feels like the natural progression from the sprite in dialogue scenes to actually be the controllable sprites.
07:33 <ConfusionRift> It makes me feel it's one of them Flash games.
07:33 <ConfusionRift> I'm also a sucker for pixelated spriting.
07:34 <Golden> Again 1/2 genie hero was my intro game to the series so I am a bit baised to the sprites.
07:34 * Ali sighs, can finally start working on the logic system
07:35 * Ali thinks the game is a bit...fanservicy
07:35 <Golden> ...if you think that's fanservicy you haven't seen tan line island from Pirate's curse
07:35 <ConfusionRift> To be honest... it did get worse about that later in the series. Heck, they admitted it in 1/2 Genie Hero.
07:36 <Golden> Fair
07:36 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaand that part in Pirate's Curse. :P
07:36 <ConfusionRift> Still freakin' hilarious.
07:36 <Golden> Tan Line Island might of been the start of the increase of fan service
07:37 <ConfusionRift> Oh... I just remembered the ending cards.
07:38 <ConfusionRift> Then again, that was kinda the nature of the game.
07:38 <ConfusionRift> At least it didn't get too overboard.
07:38 <Ali> It was made for the GBA at first
07:38 * ConfusionRift nods.
07:38 <Ali> So graphics weren't really there to be fanservice
07:38 <Golden> GBC actually
07:39 <ConfusionRift> Right. You can use the GBC cart on the GBA for an "enhanced" gameplay.
07:39 <Golden> One of the last ones released for the color when Advanced was getting started
07:39 <ConfusionRift> Hence the GBA enhanced mode.
07:40 <Golden> Shame the Cartridge loose goes around for the amount of a complete package of Earthbound
07:41 <ConfusionRift> Nowadays, a sealed complete copy of Earthbound.
07:41 <Golden> I actually found that at a resale store for 700$
07:41 <Golden> Alas I didn't get there in time when the first stims were released.
07:42 * Ali is still sad people are still trying to scalp the pony playmats for over 600
07:42 <ConfusionRift> I found it some time ago at a shop for $60. Unfortunately, I had no cash, and didn't think much of it. Greatest regret.
07:42 <ConfusionRift> Ouch!!!
07:43 <ConfusionRift> They should have brought back the Tinkerbat transformation. :P
07:43 <ConfusionRift> Or a Tinkerbat mode.
07:44 <Golden> I mean Risky's crew after pirates curse would most likely be wise to any attempts to infiltrate their ranks if Shantae had a tinkerbat transformation

07:46 <ConfusionRift> I was thinking more along the lines of instead of the Risky Mode, it was a Tinkerbat that was sent to retrieve the doheekeys.
07:46 <Golden> Oh
07:47 <ConfusionRift> Risky did test the defenses of her lair in 1/2 Genie Hero. That could've easily been the Tinkerbat. :P
07:48 <ConfusionRift> "Hmm, there's got to be a way to test this. Hmmm. You! Go and test it!" | ... | "Oh don't be such a coward. Besides, what could possible go wrong?" | ... (sighs)
07:56 * ConfusionRift might get back to Pirate's Curse at some point.
07:58 <ConfusionRift> Being having that urge to pay some platformers after the rerun Timepinner.

11:34 <Cepheid> This woman one day decided she wanted more light in the living room, so she went out to the local hardware store, rented a saw..
11:34 <Cepheid> And just up and cut a hole in the kitchen wall.
11:35 <Cepheid> She cut through a water pipe, spraying water onto the electrical, and incurred some other damage.
11:36 * ConfusionRift2 facehoofs.
11:37 *** ConfusionRift2 is now known as ConfusionRift
11:38 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's not the prettiest sight.
11:38 <Cepheid> Still better than what was discovered in the kitchen ceiling though.
11:39 <Cepheid> Apparently support beams were cut by someone else.
11:39 <ConfusionRift> 1) A saw... why? 2) Stud finders are used not just to find a stud, but also electric lines and such. There are tools for that. 3) Lucky it was a water line, and not the electrical line. That would had been her last chop. 4) If you have no idea what you're doing, DON'T DO IT!
11:39 <ConfusionRift> Oh, so it gets better? :P
11:39 <Cepheid> She just up and did it one day, and from the sounds of things, she was having a mental breakdown.
11:40 <Cepheid> But yeah, numerous support structure beams had chunks cut out of them to route the bathroom piping.
11:41 <Cepheid> Oh my gods, Bryan, the host, is letting her handle TOOLS.
11:41 <Cepheid> Including a reciprocating saw.
11:42 <Cepheid> Though, it's a question of how she handled the saw in the first place, as the rest of these tools she's having trouble handling.

11:47 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah, that issue.
11:47 <Cepheid> That's why Stadia was basically doomed, among many other reasons. The data caps issue.
11:48 <Cepheid> At this point, Google would have to pay all the North American ISPs to implement unlimited data to make Stadia more viable.
11:48 <Cepheid> In any case, Google's burned a dev bridge with me recently.
11:49 <ConfusionRift> Among other things. But yeah, that.

11:53 <ConfusionRift> Ultimately, a cool concept, but it's still just really cool looking lighting, and not much else.
11:54 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
11:54 <Cepheid> That's more a side effect of it being a low-quality rendering engine.

12:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:28 <Cepheid> Taking a large sheet, and gluing some lego to it isn't necessarily a bad idea. It's a good way to create a structural base with which to move something large.
12:28 <Cepheid> But a notebook..
12:28 <Cepheid> Eeehhhhh.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> The idea is to use a notebook cover as a 2D canvas of sorts, which is fine. The problem that repeats itself is that a lot of the life hacks are just "Do you want this thing on this other thing? Why not glue said thing on the other thing?! Then that thing will be on that thing.".
12:31 <ConfusionRift> It's a bit of creative inspiration, but not a life hack.

12:31 <Cepheid> <Spitfire> I'm just gonna walk over here and... *HORK HORK HORK HORK HOOOOORK*
12:31 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, and do not get me started on the ramen solutions. They all give me headaches.
12:34 <Cepheid> Between tired, my vision doesn't want to clear up.
12:35 <Cepheid> Hum. I wonder how much this cooling pad actually helps. Right now, I can see it keeping temps around 90C instead of 100C, so it's obviously helping, but by HOW MUCH?
12:36 <ConfusionRift> WAIT! (pauses everything) You put... you raw eggs and bacon... in a paper bag... you hoist it on top of an open flame to cook it... what! I mean, what could possibly go wrong?!
12:36 <Cepheid> Under full load, it was clocking in at 3,050MHz or so and stable there.
12:36 <Cepheid> So, to test, let's let the laptop cool down.
12:38 <Cepheid> Three cores are running at 100C, the rest are a bit lower.
12:38 <Cepheid> This isn't running long enough to properly test either. So let's grab the linux kernel and build that instead.
12:42 <ConfusionRift> Benchmark. :P
12:43 <Cepheid> Linux kernel building is typically used as a benchmark, ironically.
12:43 <Cepheid> Because it's an embarassingly parallel problem, making it great for loading CPUs.
12:44 <Cepheid> With fan, it's steady at around 2,980MHz or so.
12:47 <Cepheid> I'm going to assume Dell has implemented some changes in the BIOS to let the CPU run a bit cooler. Or something. Performance isn't dropping as rapidly as it used to, nor is the temperature spiking as high as it used to.
12:47 <Cepheid> That said, this thing is running HOT. So the fan helps with that.
12:48 <Cepheid> Oh, there it goes. Dropped to 2.6GHz.
12:49 <ConfusionRift> Didn't it used to lock at 2.5?
12:50 <Cepheid> Closer to 1.2 or lower.
12:51 <Cepheid> So yeah, something's been updated.

13:07 <Cepheid> Yep.
13:07 <Cepheid> I'm the one at most risk, out of everyone in the family.
13:07 <Cepheid> And because both parents are essential workers, if I'm sick, they're likely sick, so it's better to just get one person tested.
13:11 <ConfusionRift> Problem is the case of one going to a place where is still crowded or of high traffic, with a high potential of someone infected being there, increasing the chances of one getting infected.
13:12 <Cepheid> Here, the testing centers tend to be dead quiet.
13:12 <Cepheid> Or, at the least, aren't packed or with long lineups.
13:13 <ConfusionRift> The two times I went it was packed.

23:46 <Schism> Like, if in Shadowrun I can fill my elf with sixty kinds of modifications, ranging from vocal changes to new eyes to whatever else, of course it's viable to have a sex change, or have nonbinary features, or the like. *shrug*
23:46 <LibrarianofHope> i dont knpw how to go about writing a trans character

23:48 <Finwe> Ooh, Shadowrun. Haven't heard that name since 1990's, when it was still a rather new thing.
23:48 <LibrarianofHope> i dont think that is right for a trans character fully

23:49 <Finwe> Or the kid next door, rather.
23:49 <LibrarianofHope> finweee
23:49 <Schism> There's no one way to have a trans character. Some folks are highly dysphoric, others less so. And we run the gamut all over, some athletic, some social, some withdrawn, some more academic. The only main facet is that we would be happy in a body which does not conform to the norms of the sex we were assigned at birth.

23:50 * Finwe decides to watch an episode of American Gods before going to bed.
23:50 <LibrarianofHope> that does give me an idea
23:50 <Schism> And dysphoria isn't just a gender thing, either: if it were, there wouldn't be regular plastic surgery, or the like. Some characters might go into body mods, for example, because they see themselves with them.
23:50 <LibrarianofHope> or if they dont have a body, like a System Spirit
