00:00 <Finwe> Good evening, my little ponies.

00:00 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Filly_Nightmares and Schism; Messrs LibrarianofHope, Starlight_Glimmer and PinkieShy.

00:00 * Finwe doffs his hat.

00:05 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

00:05 * Schism doffs her pickle.

00:05 <Schism> Gotta love swede.

00:07 * Finwe offers a slice of pancake with raspberry jam to Schism.

00:08 <Finwe> Oh, I did that already.

00:08 <Finwe> 'Twas quite delicious, vanilla and cinnamon suit pancake rather well.

00:09 <Schism> They do indeed.  I'll usually put in a splash of vanilla and a bit of cinnamon when I make buttermilk pancakes.

00:09 * Filly_Nightmares skree!

00:09 * Finwe gives some pancake to Filly_Nightmares.

01:12 * Schism bounces around Ali on a deadly pogo stick.

01:12 * Ali boops Schism nosie

01:13 <Schism> Ali: Sakugarne is a pain.  <.<

01:14 <Ali> Also I don't know why, but I despise trying to get ready to fight the WoF in Terraria

01:15 <Schism> I know how you feel...

01:15 * Schism also flings a cat at Sunstar.

01:15 <Ali> Playing V huh?

01:16 <Schism> Just reading up on it.

01:16 <Ali> The gameboy Megaman games were pretty fun

01:16 <Ali> Also with WoF, I tend to run out of runway, or just die in a stupid way.

01:17 <Ali> My best weapons are melee based, and its hard to just hug the thing with all the hungry around it.

01:19 <Cepheid> Wall of Flesh is not really meant to be meleed.  Even the weakest ranged weapon on a non-melee class is probably preferable to a melee weapon.

01:20 <Ali> Well that's what's strange

01:20 <Ali> Cause the melee weapons have 40-60 damage

01:20 <Ali> but ranged and the like are only 25-30

01:20 <Ali> But then again

01:20 <Ali> The thing is stupid weak to dynamite

01:22 <Schism> Hmm.  So Enker is weak to being blown up.  Good to know.  o3o;

01:24 <Ali> You really don't fight the Mega Man killers often

01:24 <Ali> I was surprsied they showed up as DLC in 10

01:55 <Cepheid> Hum.  I'll take over Reynauld.  Schism gets Dismas.

01:57 <Cepheid> Ali's the healer..

01:57 <Cepheid> Rifty's our creepy plague-mask wearin' nutjob.

05:50 * Dappled identifies as guide, dies to summon it.

05:51 * Ali nuu's, how is she supposed to get to hard mode without aid! Unicorn hates the WoF fight

05:52 <Dappled> Have you tried poison? or fire?

05:52 <Dappled> The mouths burn.

05:53 <Ali> I'm wanting to not use the same thing I always go for

05:53 <Ali> Stupid space gun spam

05:53 <Ali> But my weapons are all melee, not really the best for dealing with the wall

05:58 <Ali> Like Sunfury.  Its got Demonic so it now does almost 80 a hit

06:15 * Dappled checks the time. It is now 12:15 am. Why hasn't 30XX released?

10:58 <Dappled> Ah ha! Using my immense knowledge of emulators and roms I figured out how to get Ratchet and Clank (PS2) to run properly on my PC.

10:58 * Dappled updated teh emulator.

10:59 <ConfusionRift> :P

11:00 * Lumindia updates Dappled

11:00 *** Dappled is now known as Shadowed

11:00 * Shadowed has become another pony through updates.

11:00 * Lumindia huggles the dappled

11:00 <Lumindia> err

11:00 <Lumindia> shadowed

11:00 <Lumindia> hecc

11:00 * Shadowed sticks her tongue out at Lumindia. Then hugs.

11:00 <ConfusionRift> There's a lot that can affect emulation. Could be the video codec, the renderer, audio codec, etc.

11:01 <ConfusionRift> PS2 emulation also requires a rather beefy system as well, even in "potato mode".

11:02 <Shadowed> Okay, but why though? It's not exactly top tier hardware/graphics anymore.

11:03 * Shadowed 's computer is capable of running games that run on current gen consoles at comparable graphics.

11:04 <ConfusionRift> You're emulating. It's different from playing games made for PC. Your system is trying to emulate another system in order to play games.

11:04 <ConfusionRift> With some consoles just being a pain to replicate, requiring more out of a system.

11:05 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

11:06 * Lumindia brushes the Shadowed pony

11:06 * Shadowed pony purrs

11:06 <Finwe> With most of the consoles having mainline processors and what not, there's not much need of emulation.

11:06 <Finwe> s/of/for/

11:07 <Finwe> Graphics processing maybe?

11:07 <ConfusionRift> There's really no point on emulating new systems, especially with more popular games being on multiple platforms, including PC.

11:08 <Shadowed> If not for the fact that the games I want to emulate aren't being sold first party anymore, I'd agree with you. But I have a desire nostalgia gaming.

11:08 <ConfusionRift> Or said games are sold at ridiculous prices due to collector's value.

11:09 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2209 [ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EquestriaDaily/~3/C14Z3OZAahc/morning-discussion-2209.html ]

11:09 * Shadowed paid 60 dollars for a used copy of Skies of Arcadia on the Dreamcast in the past two years. The trick is finding them in used game shops and not listed online.

11:10 <ConfusionRift> I'm not paying $300 for a game that was at one point at Game Stop for $5.

11:10 <Finwe> Hmm, not graphics processing either, e.g. PS5 and new XBOX have AMD GPU:s.

11:11 <ConfusionRift> Yarp.

11:18 <ConfusionRift> They started doing that to cut some of the cost in production (cough), and to make parts more mainline.

11:28 <Shadowed> What I just heard is that I can make my own ps5 and for cheaper... Now how to get legally get ahold of that bios...

11:28 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, there's where things get very complicated.

11:29 <ConfusionRift> At the very least, you could get a really cheap used XBOX1 S, and use that as an emulation box. Things aren't as easy with the PS5, with the firmware issue. And the Switch uses proprietary hardware.

11:31 <Lumindia> yar har fiddle dee dee

11:33 * Finwe noms on Lumindia.

11:38 * Lumindia noms back

11:38 <Lumindia> Hecc

11:39 * Shadowed thinks exclusivity deals should expire when the company moves onto a new console generation, at least for existing games. Sure you could do a clause for new installments being linked to the company, but existing games should be able to move to other markets.

11:42 <ConfusionRift> Or at the very least make backwards compatibility more abroad. Or just release their hands of certain games, ESPECIALLY games that are both out of print and not being ported.

11:42 <Shadowed> That.

11:42 <Lumindia> "But muh virtual consoles"

11:43 <ConfusionRift> They aren't even there! ._.

11:43 <Shadowed> ^

11:44 <Finwe> À propos games, it's 30 years since the release of Lemmings today.

11:44 <ConfusionRift> And don't get me started on them releasing ports exclusively on their game streaming services.

11:45 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately, Ratchet & Clank and the Sly series are there.

11:45 <Shadowed> Oh look, I can stream a game that I can't install locally so my experience is tied directly to my ISP.

11:46 * Shadowed glares at the PSNow Ratchet and Clank selection. Nothing before PS3 and not all of that.

11:46 <Shadowed> That's why I set sail.

11:46 * Finwe starts his FS-UAE.

11:47 <Shadowed> Fail Safe United Arabs Emirate?

11:47 <ConfusionRift> And I shall not bother you for it, and salute you for doing so. Because that's dumb. And I don't think it's even the PS3 ports. Then again, those left a lot to be desired.

11:48 <Finwe> Shadowed: A fork of WinUAE

11:48 * Shadowed begins to assume this linux speak.

11:48 <Finwe> UAE originally stands for Unusable Amiga Emulator.

11:48 <ConfusionRift> Nothing ignites me more than having games run at 1080p, and have cutscenes at 480i.

11:49 <Finwe> It was unusable because of its inability to boot.

11:49 <Shadowed> Yeah, that's irratating.

11:50 <Finwe> Later on, it became Unix Amiga Emulator, and now the U mainly stands for nothing, but it could be Universal Amiga Emulator or Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator.

11:50 <Finwe> Or Ultimate Amiga Emulator.

11:54 * ConfusionRift opens a lockup of police confiscations and finds a lot of ammo. "Sir, you made a grave mistake. That was too easy." Finds that 1/3 of it is shotgun ammo. "Sir, you REALLY made a grave mistake." :P

11:56 * Shadowed headtilts.

11:56 <ConfusionRift> Fallout 4.

11:56 <Shadowed> Right.

12:06 * Shadowed appreciates a game that lies about having a setting to invert camera controls.

12:32 * Shadowed chews on sticks.

12:35 * Cepheid hands Shadowed a rod of unknown origin. It's glowing green.

12:36 * Shadowed knows that many sticks are green when growing. This one must be safe to chew on too. Chews.

12:37 * Cepheid watches Shadowed sprout wings.

12:39 * Shadowed attempts to chew on these too. Where did they come from?

12:40 <Cepheid> ...  People are attempting to blame wind turbines for the reason that Texas is out of power.

12:43 <Shadowed> Right, not because Texas isn't on the national power grid. Or because there's an unprecedented snowstorm covering the state.

12:43 * ConfusionRift will walk away from that one.

12:43 <Shadowed> Probably the wisest move.

13:21 * ConfusionRift gets shot on the arm, with the shot ricocheting off the heavy combat armor. "The hell was that?!" Takes the trench gun out.

13:24 <ConfusionRift> Funny thing is they didn't go after the two Deathclaws that were trying to impale them. They went after me. Ran off unarmed in hopes they would stop chasing and firing. Deathclaws changed target and went after me, causing the BoS to go after them. I killed them, and then they started firing again. Yeah, it spiraled down for them at that point.

13:24 <Cepheid> Razor:  Are you sure your system isn't running in some sort of powersaving mode?  Check the power settings on your PC.

13:25 <Cepheid> I feel like it should be catching up a bit faster than my own laptop.

13:25 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, that happened to Ali.

13:27 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, I'm at the point that Deathclaws are downed with a 10mm pistol.

13:28 <Cepheid> Heh.

18:38 <Cepheid> Most epic theme thus far remains to be Kulve Taroth's fury theme.

18:38 <Cepheid> Especially since it's guaranteed to play in Master Rank Kulve Taroth, making the battle just that much more fun.

18:44 <Cepheid> Whelp, No Man's Sky just turned into a Space Pokemon.  You can capture and tame alien creatures.

18:52 * Schism looks at Cepheid. Then looks at endemic wildlife.

18:52 <Cepheid> Having trouble still?

18:53 <Schism> No, no.  No harm really.

18:53 <Schism> Might drop by the office this afternoon, come to think, on general principles...

18:53 <Cepheid> Seriously, just expedition from the wildspire wastes camp 1 to the ancient forest and back.  You should find the crakes on one of the various herbivores outside the wildspire wastes camp.

18:54 <Schism> Later tonight, then.

18:56 <Cepheid> It occurs to me that I'm worrying about performance just a tad too much.

18:57 <Cepheid> I'm able to draw 3.2 million 10x10 pixel quads a second and maintain a framerate of ~500 on this laptop.

18:58 <Cepheid> That's way more than I suspect I'll ever need.

18:59 * LibrarianofHope glomps Ali

19:00 * Ali splats

19:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> I just finished setting up new backup servers.

19:21 <Starlight_Glimmer> Net capacity over 350 TiB

19:22 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm amused we're getting to the point where using PiB as a unit actually makes sense.

19:22 * Ali sits on Starlight_Glimmer

19:23 <LibrarianofHope> Petabites, hundred teras no?

19:24 <LibrarianofHope> storage grows contantly, its the normal pattern

19:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> Hundred? No. More like 1 PiB = 1024 TiB

19:24 <LibrarianofHope> heck

19:24 <LibrarianofHope> thtas a lot of space

19:24 <Starlight_Glimmer> (the i is what signals 1024 instead of 1000)

19:25 * Starlight_Glimmer licks Ali

19:25 <LibrarianofHope> what do you need that much space for?

19:25 <Ali> I don't even use 200GB of storage, why need more.

19:25 <Starlight_Glimmer> Of course Brushie probably laughs at me. They deal with giant storage arrays all the time.

19:25 <Starlight_Glimmer> LibrarianofHope: Backups :P

19:25 <LibrarianofHope> of what?

19:25 <Starlight_Glimmer> Everything

19:26 <LibrarianofHope> you work for a goggle drive kinda thing?

19:26 <Starlight_Glimmer> They're deduplicated mind you. So backing up the same file only uses space up once.

19:26 <Starlight_Glimmer> No.

19:26 <LibrarianofHope> you have the area 51 files?

19:26 <Starlight_Glimmer> We do software for the educational sector.

19:27 <LibrarianofHope> that makese sense, but i wanted aliens

19:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> Some companies too, but mainly educational.

19:28 <LibrarianofHope> a smarthphone today holds more space than an old room size computer

19:28 <LibrarianofHope> imagine in 50 years

19:28 <Starlight_Glimmer> ~2.4 million users

19:28 <LibrarianofHope> who is brushie?

19:29 <LibrarianofHope> how is brushie?

19:29 <Starlight_Glimmer> The horse that must be brushed and will horribly murder you if you don't brush your teeth

19:29 <LibrarianofHope> colgate?

19:29 <Starlight_Glimmer> I say Brushie to avoid the ping, yes :P

19:29 <LibrarianofHope> i was glimglams idea

19:30 * LibrarianofHope hides behind ali

19:31 <Schism> ... Cepheid.

19:31 <Schism> qntm is very good at making us feel stupid.  https://twitter.com/qntm/status/1362116938726596613

19:34 <Schism> Rest in the throes of Tartarus, Mr. Limbaugh.

19:53 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and Schism; Messrs LibrarianofHope and Starlight_Glimmer.

19:53 * Finwe doffs his hat.

19:54 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

19:54 <Schism> While I'm loathe to suggest that the death of a personality is often a good thing...

19:57 <LibrarianofHope> to desire death of a percieved evil person is perfectly normal as a knee jerk reaction

19:57 <LibrarianofHope> we are only human

19:58 <Finwe> Anyone whose Twitter nick is "𝑥 = {𝑥}" should be terminated instantly.

19:59 <Finwe> 𝑥 ≠ {𝑥}

20:03 <Schism> Shoes have arrived at the office... <3  So tomorrow I'll pick them up.

20:03 * Finwe noms on Schism's shoes.

20:03 <Schism> Myeep.  No, don't nom!  I'll be saving these for when there's not snow.  https://www.converse.com/shop/p/custom-chuck-taylor-all-star-by-you-unisex-high-top-shoe/152620CSP21M_blankcanvas.html?metricId=2044843350

20:07 <LibrarianofHope> i do need shoes

20:09 * Ali also noms on Schism's shoes~

20:10 <Finwe> Umm.

20:11 * Ali grumps, why is the unicorn always cramped for space in Factorio and really can't expand without covering up massive amounts of resources.

20:17 * Schism headtilts at Finwe's umm. And also baps Ali with a smol gove.

20:17 <Schism> glove.*

20:18 * Ali grrs and noms more, baps don't help da pono.

20:20 <Finwe> Schism: I was bewildered by the stylishness, or the lack thereof, of your shoes.

20:21 <LibrarianofHope> i have to buy a new pair of shoes owo

20:21 <LibrarianofHope> i tend to wear the same as much as i can

20:21 <LibrarianofHope> no one seems to notice owo

20:28 <Schism> Finwe: That particular style is more meant to display a certain flag, though I think it'll go nicely with my black jeans.

20:31 <Finwe> Oh, the industrial engineering and management flag.

20:34 <Schism> Sure, let's go with that.

20:34 <LibrarianofHope> the trans flag reminds me of bubblegum

20:34 * Schism is of course a woman. That's it, that's all.

20:35 <LibrarianofHope> you are a girl indeed

20:35 <LibrarianofHope> you have gum?

20:35 <LibrarianofHope> i want gum

20:35 * LibrarianofHope noms ali

22:20 <Cepheid> They revealed the volcano area of Rise.

22:20 <Cepheid> ... Confusion's favourite rock monster is back!

22:22 <Cepheid> Looks like the Rampage is a multi-monster hunt in an arena-like area.

22:22 <Cepheid> Oh dear.

22:22 <Cepheid> There's something akin to Frenzy.

22:23 <Cepheid> ... And NPC hunters.

22:23 <Cepheid> Or at least, it's implied.

22:23 <Cepheid> As the two quest maidens are seen armed with weapons to fight.

22:30 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1362164645830807554

22:32 <Cepheid> Apex status.  That's what it is.

22:32 <Cepheid> Does that mean Frenzy is back?

22:32 <Cepheid> Because Frenzy is the midway state between normal and Apex.

22:43 * Ali nuu's why is Skyward Sword is coming back.

22:45 <Cepheid> I actually liked Skyward Sword.

22:47 <Cepheid> Another Splatoon.

22:51 <Ali> And Smash might as well be called Super Sword Fighter instead

22:52 <Cepheid> Yes, yes, there's too many sword fighters in Smash, we get it.

22:57 <LibrarianofHope> more fire emblem guys?

22:57 <Cepheid> Pyra and Mithra from Xenoblade 2.

22:57 <LibrarianofHope> close enough

23:01 * Cepheid sighs.

23:03 <LibrarianofHope> they are different than the other sword fighters
