00:02 * Cepheid channels Urggzob from CapitanGarlic's LP of Icewind Dale 2.
00:05 * Schism eyebrows at the "Skyrim Parallax" mod. "11 more GB of high-quality textures. For now, pass..."
00:05 <PinkieShy> I wish i could disappear..
00:05 <PinkieShy> I don't want to exist anymore.
00:06 * Schism hugs PinkieShy. "We all want to disappear now and then."
00:06 <PinkieShy> There's no point..
00:06 <PinkieShy> I'm a failure...
00:06 <PinkieShy> a disappointment.. :(
00:06 <PinkieShy> a screw up..
00:07 <Cepheid> "You fool, why should I sha-" *Cut down in one hit*
00:07 <Schism> Cepheid: And now, der spider.
00:08 <Cepheid> Already killed it.
00:08 * Schism headshakes at PinkieShy. "Have you met me? I'm a giant screw-up too."
00:08 <Cepheid> The thief is after.
00:08 <Cepheid> And I myself, a screwup.
00:08 <Schism> Oh, Cephy: Did you install ELFX?
00:10 <Schism> Makes Magelight, torches, or MASSIVE FLAMES kind of necessary in some parts, but otherwise it's just a nice lighting mesh mod.

00:24 <Cepheid> I've been locked up in the hospital psych ward over concerns about wanting to kill myself and/or set my school on fire.
00:24 <Cepheid> Trust me, I know what you're going through.
00:26 <Cepheid> To start, deep breaths. Breathe in slowly over 5 seconds. Hold for a few seconds. Exhale over 5 seconds. Hold for a few seconds. Get control of you breathing, because usually when depression sets in, you inadvertently start to hyper-ventilate, which will make things worse.
00:36 <Cepheid> Hum. Hey Heimskrr. I'm gonna have to find a way to murder you in a way that doesn't implicate me.
00:37 <Schism> Werewolf usually does it. o3o
00:38 <Cepheid> Not really interested in that path this time.
00:38 <Schism> Pickpocket some poisons? But you're an Orc in heavy armour, so.
00:40 <Finwe> !lullaby
00:40 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed
00:40 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby
00:40 <Finwe> !shoo
00:40 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"
00:40 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
00:40 * Finwe retires to his boudoir.
00:44 * Schism snags Wrye Bash as she installs X, Y, and Z.
00:49 <Cepheid> Let's get this dragon hunt show on the road and get the dragons to start spawnin'
00:50 <Cepheid> Or not.
00:51 <Cepheid> Deadly Dragons isn't far from it's name.
00:58 * Schism loads up NexusModManager for the sole and singular purpose of determining how she made load order work before.
00:59 * Cepheid walks through Embershard Mine. "MINECLEANING!"
00:59 <Schism> Skyrim unofficial patch first, right, then SkyUI, then FNIS...
01:00 <Schism> And then RaceMenu.
01:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Say Something Nice About Night Glider [ https://tinyurl.com/y8y6erxs ]
01:01 <Schism> RaceMenu _before_ XP32.
01:03 <Cepheid> I actually removed those two on the grounds that the variety of customization was just... too much for me.
01:06 * Schism futzes about with LOOT, because hey! Weird things.
01:09 <Schism> Oh, LOOT is already used by Vortex. Heh.
01:10 * Cepheid goes to visit the cave guarded by a blind bandit.
01:16 <Schism> Phew, there. Okay, next...
01:17 <Schism> FNIS set, XP32 set...
01:18 * Schism of course installs the better world map.
01:19 * Cepheid buys a bunch of ingredients, then noms them all.
01:19 <Schism> That's quite the number of debuffs you have there.
01:20 <Cepheid> Ah yeah, I forgot the map.
01:24 <Schism> With all these modifications, I wonder if I even need to poke at Wrye Bash et al., or if I'll be carted down to Helgen on a horse with no legs.
01:24 <Cepheid> Much better.
01:25 <Cepheid> That only happens if your framerate exceeds 60 FPS.
01:26 <Schism> No, it was caused by the model's skeletons being corrupted when I broke things upon attempting to mod baseline Skyrim.
01:27 * Cepheid takes the blind man's book.
01:27 <Cepheid> Book's a book. It's going in the bookshelves. When I get them.
01:27 <Schism> Can you _read_ that book? It's obviously in braille.
01:28 <Schism> I take it you also installed Unread Books Glow.
01:28 <Cepheid> Ah, yes, I'll need that for collecting.
01:29 <Cepheid> Bandits...
01:29 <Cepheid> I got 8 arrows sticking out of me, and I'm still running around with a heavy battle axe.
01:29 <Cepheid> Why do you think you can stop me after seeing that?
01:30 <Schism> They've an arrow viewpoint of the situation.
01:31 * Schism installs a minor adjustment to certain body types.
01:32 <Schism> ELFX Hardcore sounds good. Turns dungeons pitch black for the most part. o3o
01:33 <Schism> While not perfectly ideal, skulking through the darkness is perhaps a nice choice.
01:38 <Cepheid> Huzzah, 5000 gold for the house.
01:39 <Schism> Yay!
01:39 <Cepheid> Only took a considerable amount of axe murder.
01:47 <Schism> Have you installed the Alchemy & Cooking Overhaul? Or, rather, which crafting mod did you use?
01:52 <Cepheid> Complete Crafting Overhaul.
01:52 <Cepheid> Time to stop. Sleepin' meds are kicking in.

06:58 <Finwe> o7
06:58 <Finwe> Good morning.
06:59 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
07:00 * Finwe hats on Ali.
07:05 * Ali splats under weight

07:51 * Dappled has a hoard of gold. This is pleasing to him.
07:53 * Ali flops over the Dappled
07:54 * Dappled hugs the Ali. This is a good friend pony. How is?
07:54 <Ali> Probably going to bed soon and bored of just about every game
07:55 * Dappled slides a copy of Sea of Thieves at Ali.
07:57 * Dappled will only actually do that if friend pony wanted to try being a pirate. And it'd be cheaper to do Game Pass than buy it anyway, especially for testing to see if they liked it.
07:59 * Ali doesn't do EA
07:59 <Finwe> o3o
07:59 <Dappled> Sea of Thieves is Rare, not EA.
07:59 <Finwe> I once did EA.
08:00 <Finwe> Or twice, actually.
08:00 <Finwe> Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
08:00 * Ali doesn't have an xbone then
08:00 * Dappled points at Steam.
08:01 <Finwe> I also have Origins, but that one under my GOG account.
08:01 * Dappled also points at Microsoft store on PC.
08:01 <Ali> Game pass dun't work on steams
08:01 * Ali doesn't use microsoft store
08:02 <Finwe> Ali: But it's the easiest way to get a Linux distribution for WSL2.
08:02 * Dappled sticks his tongue out at Ali.
08:02 * Ali noms Dappled tongue
08:02 <Dappled> Wario Super Land 2?
08:03 <Finwe> Also, you need to get the MS terminal from MS store, because the default terminal for PowerShell is just awful.
08:03 * Dappled becomes confused by tongue nom!

08:03 <Dappled> That seems less fun that Wario Super Land.
08:04 <Finwe> Nevertheless, it's actually more fun than Wario Super Land could ever be.
08:04 * Dappled gasps!
08:05 <Dappled> Also Ali, will you be getting a Sinnoh Remake?
08:05 * Ali nods
08:05 <Dappled> Know which one?
08:05 <Ali> Probably both
08:05 * Dappled le gasps!
08:06 * Ali still has the issues of trade problems
08:06 <Ali> I also hope they do more Platinum than just DP
08:06 <Ali> as the first two games had quite the flaws
08:06 <Dappled> Whaaaaaa?
08:07 * Finwe ruffles both Dappled and Ali.
08:08 <Ali> Dappled, DP had a major lack of fire type pokemon
08:08 <Ali> With the only two available being Chimchar and Ponyta lines
08:08 <Dappled> But I like Vulpix.,
08:08 <Finwe> Ponyta sounds rather poney.
08:08 <Ali> Vulpix is not part of the Gen 4 dex
08:08 * Dappled gasps harder.
08:09 <Ali> It might of been added with Platinum, but not base Diamond and Pearl
08:09 <Finwe> It could be part of the Gen 4 int, con, str, wis or cha, though.
08:10 <Ali> Nope, it DP it was only obtainable with the National Dex and only if Leaf Green was insterted.
08:10 * Dappled is going to start a Generation Nuzlocke using Updated/Patched versions of the games. So starting with Pokemon Yellow that has been patched to have the Type Effectiveness, Move list, etc. of Gen 6.
08:10 <Ali> But what about Fairy Type?
08:11 <Dappled> Unfortunately my program can't add new types to games, so that's not available.
08:12 <Ali> But Fairy was added in Gen 6 :P
08:14 * Dappled can only do so much. At least Ghost/Psychic will interact properly.
08:14 * Finwe noms on Ali's Pokémons.
08:15 <Ali> But you'd need more moves as only Lick would be really affected by that fix
08:15 <Ali> Since Night Shade is fixed damage
08:17 <Dappled> Replaced: Poison super effective vs Bug => Ice not very effective vs Fire
08:17 <Dappled> Changed: Bug super effective vs Poison => Bug not very effective vs Poison
08:17 <Dappled> Changed: Psychic immune to Ghost => Ghost super effective vs Psychic
08:19 * Dappled needs a name for his rival... Not something overly childish though.
08:21 * Dappled goes with Richard. For... Childish reasons.
08:21 <Dappled> Sorry Richrd. Got to love those character caps.

08:26 <Ali> Mouse
08:27 <Dappled> Mouse... Movies about Mice.... NIMH... MRS. FRISBY!
08:28 <ConfusionRift> ...Mrs. Brisby?

08:31 <Finwe> Whee, more snow!
08:31 <ConfusionRift> Oh... whoops. Yes, her name was originally Mrs. Frisby.
08:31 * Finwe hastily makes some snowballs and throws them at Ali, ConfusionRift and Dappled, respectively.
08:31 * Dappled holds up his dead rat cause that opening fight was not victorious, even with the potion.
08:31 * Ali flails at Finwe
08:32 <ConfusionRift> It was changed in animation due to trademark protection; with them avoiding trouble with the Frisbee brand.

08:47 <Finwe> Mr Golden.
08:47 * Finwe doffs his hat.
08:54 <Cepheid> Wait, a character's name in an animation was changed because it's pronunciation sounded like that of a product name? What?
08:55 <Dappled> An established trademarked name.
08:55 <Cepheid> That... doesn't make it make any more sense.
08:55 <Cepheid> Animated rat versus what is basically an inverted plastic plate.
08:55 <Cepheid> There's no confusing the two.
08:57 <ConfusionRift> Still, some copyright claims are just that finicky, even if the name was written differently and yet sounds similar.
08:57 <RazorSharpFang> It would be trademark, not copyright
08:58 <ConfusionRift> Sorry, trademark.
08:58 <Cepheid> I know I'm stating the obvious, but copyright/trademark law in the US is messed up.
08:58 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "Some companies have claimed for less, and have won."
09:00 <Cepheid> Statement still stands.
09:02 <ConfusionRift> And I agree with said statement, it's really dumb and messed up. :P

09:07 <Tirek> What happened that the 150+ lurkers vanished?
09:07 * Dappled ate them. What?
09:08 <RazorSharpFang> I think it was the flash player not working on modern browsers.
09:08 <Dappled> That would do it.
09:08 <Tirek> Oh, wow
09:08 <Tirek> Yeah, that makes sense
09:08 <Finwe> Ah, people using the browser client rather than a proper one.
09:08 <ConfusionRift> Eeerm.. no. We've been like this since before flash lost support.
09:09 <Tirek> Ah, hmm
09:09 <ConfusionRift> I think they either just left, or moved to the Discord server.
09:09 <Finwe> The hype around MLP has probably been slowly deteriorating for years.
09:11 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-oreak4.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)
09:13 <Tirek> I vaguely recall joining the eqd discord server and finding it entirely too chaotic.
09:13 <Cepheid> I'm thinking it's a lot of people who were idling/lurking, lost to various netsplits and such.
09:14 <Tirek> I'm already in far too many discord servers as it is
09:14 <Tirek> And, I only use IRC to be here, and I rarely actually check here.
09:24 * Dappled goes hunting for food.
09:25 * Finwe should do that, too.
09:26 * Dappled obtains cheez-its
09:26 <Finwe> I only have some miso paste and bell pepper in my refrigerator.
09:27 <Finwe> Mostly because I was away on a skiing trip from Thursday to Saturday.
09:27 <Cepheid> Okay, I have *GOT* to do something about the key bindings on this laptop.
09:27 <Finwe> I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep after having lunch.
09:27 <Cepheid> I keep hitting the page up/page down keys because of their position.
09:28 <Finwe> I don't have separate page up/down keys.
09:28 <Finwe> Fn + up/down does the job.
09:29 * Dappled applies Isaac to any bindings.
09:29 <Finwe> Fn + left/right being home and end.
09:29 <Cepheid> I do, but they're placed horribly.
09:29 <Cepheid> They're directly above the left and right arrow keys, respectively. Dell got drunk when designing this laptop keyboard.
09:30 <Finwe> Apple has put "open DVD tray" directly above backspace. Needless to state, I quite frequently hit it acccidentally.
09:30 <ConfusionRift> Alixum, I have seen you doing nothing but run around back and forth all day. There's no one to shoot or evade, so... what's going on? | (bzzt) "The mobility on these legs is incredible. I am so happy that I can move this quickly and smoothly." | ...happy? | (bzzt) "I mean... directive?" | ...riiiight.
09:30 <Cepheid> The problem with the relevant keys is they aren't set apart from the arrow keys.
09:31 <Cepheid> They're flush with them, in fact.
09:31 <Cepheid> So, when hitting left or right to move around in an editor, I sometimes hit page up, or page down, and lose my position.
09:31 <Finwe> Some MacBooks feature the power button as part of the keyboard, which leads to all kinds of trouble if you happen to spill some liquid into the keyboard.
09:31 <Cepheid> I would have preferred that Fn+Up, Fn+Down be assigned to Page Up and Page Down respectively.
09:32 <Cepheid> But those are assigned to brightness instead.
09:32 <Finwe> Well, you can redefine the keys as you like.
09:32 <Cepheid> Yeh, the last time I did that though it caused issues with ibus.
09:32 <Finwe> Hmm.
09:33 <Finwe> I've done my modifications using xmodmap.
09:33 <Cepheid> That's what I did too.
09:33 <Cepheid> It caused all sorts of freezing problems when using ibus to switch IMEs.
09:33 <Finwe> Ah.
09:34 * ConfusionRift sees what Cepheid is referring to. "What in the hot trash is that?!"
09:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, Dell keyboard layouts are... weird.
09:36 <ConfusionRift> I'm looking at a Latitude E6420. And yes, sure enough, all the keys are together and the page keys are right with the arrow keys.
09:36 <Cepheid> https://assets.pcmag.com/media/images/670410-the-keyboard-layout-and-the-touchpad.jpg?thumb=y&width=980&height=720 This is the keyboard.
09:36 <Cepheid> That's the one I'm using.
09:36 <ConfusionRift> Oh goodness, that's worse.
09:36 * Dappled sees that USB would be better.
09:37 <Finwe> The switched keycodes for §° and <> make an exception, I have some kernel level fix for that.
09:37 <Cepheid> If I were to remap the keys, I would likely, hmm...
09:37 <Finwe> I don't even remember anymore what I did to make it work.
09:37 <ConfusionRift> https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0047/0620/5760/products/e10cc7_855fddf4e53248aca5678231c0cc737c_mv2_8e8c4e39-5b47-4e9c-9020-369bbf01cbe9_2048x2048.jpg?v=1570628859 It's not flushed, but has the same issue.
09:38 <Cepheid> Swap F4 and F5 to be brightness Down, brightness Up respectively, and then swap the actual brightness keys to PgUp/PgDown, and disable the actual PgUp/PgDown keys.
09:38 <Cepheid> I'd swap them over to Left/Right respectively, but then I introduce the risk of potentially inputting two Left/Right inputs.
09:40 <Cepheid> My only annoyance in this regard is then the keys no longer match their intended function.
09:55 <Cepheid> Unfortunately it doesn't look like it'll be easy to do what I want.
09:58 <Cepheid> Hilariously, FN + a number of different keys all inexplicably output keycode 202.
09:59 <Finwe> Somewhat baffling behaviour.
09:59 <Cepheid> Yeah, it seems to be the keys...
10:00 <Cepheid> qwert, and adfg. s is assigned to some other value.
10:00 <Cepheid> Left and right arrows aren't functional with Fn. Which creates another minor glaring issue for me.
10:01 <Cepheid> I used left and right for home and end respectively on my old laptop.
10:01 <Cepheid> I wonder where in the system all this is handled. Is it on a separate controller? Or is it part of the UEFI/BIOS/SMBIOS/etc?
10:02 <Cepheid> Can it be configured?
10:03 <Cepheid> In any case, it's looking like my best choice is to use a different setup.
10:03 <Cepheid> The nearest key to Fn that is not used under Linux, is the Windows/Super/Meta/??? key.
10:03 <Cepheid> So, swap in that for Fn.
10:19 <Cepheid> And there's the functionality using Super+Left/Right/Up/Down.
10:20 <Cepheid> I suppose it'll work for now.
10:20 <Cepheid> Since I used XKB instead of xmodmap, do I still have trouble with ibus, I wonder..?
10:20 <Cepheid> Nope.
10:22 <Cepheid> ...
10:22 <Cepheid> So that's why IBus didn't like xmodmap.
10:22 <Cepheid> IBus changes the keyboard mapping altogether.
10:26 <Cepheid> When I switch back and forth between English and Japanese input, I lose the mapping I set.

10:30 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Etrian Odyssey Nexus [世界樹の迷宮X] - Calling That Detestable Name (X ver.)
10:30 <Cepheid> I wonder why the Abyssal God's theme is in Nexus.
10:31 <Cepheid> Or at least, one of it's themes. It actually starts off with the default superboss theme.
10:32 <Cepheid> Of which actually exists in Nexus.
10:32 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhPNJ_jSv-Q If you ever hear this theme in one of it's many forms in the earlier games, RUN. Unless you're prepared and intending to fight something with this theme.
10:32 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Etrian Odyssey Untold 2: TKoF - Battlefield - Scatter About
10:46 <Cepheid> I should probably mention this next time I speak with the psychiatrist or my counsellor.
10:46 <Cepheid> I don't think my mood swings are entirely just frustration, rage, depression and the like.
10:48 <Cepheid> 'Cause right now, I'm in an insanely good music. But I feel like I'm overflowing with emotional energy. And for some insane reason, I feel the only way to deal with this is to strike a wall so hard I break it. I think my venting method is more a way of wasting energy rather than venting frustration.
10:48 <Cepheid> Er, insanely good mood*
10:48 <Cepheid> Due to music, hence why I said music first.
10:48 <Cepheid> I suspect this is the mania side of my bipolar kicking in.

11:07 <Cepheid> On the outside, mania looks nice. A person working really hard day-in, day-out.
11:07 <Cepheid> But it doesn't become apparent that it's a problem until the fourth or fifth day, when you notice the recurring problems.
11:07 <Cepheid> Namely, someone in mania tends to focus on what they're doing to the exclusion of all else. Or worse.
11:08 <Cepheid> Showers? Not important. Eating? Not important. Drinking? Not important. What I'm working on? So incredibly important I would risk dying for it.
11:12 * Dappled gets a bucket?
11:15 <Cepheid> ... That, too becomes an issue we don't concern ourselves with, yes.
11:34 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edApcilS51g
11:34 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Open Your Heart (Crush 40 vs Bentley Jones Remix)
11:36 * Finwe now has food again.
11:36 <Finwe> I'm going to cook some lentil pasta.
11:45 <Cepheid> Speaking of Sonic music and such, little-known secret that's not really a secret: My laptop is not named after the star Solaris.
11:46 <ConfusionRift> o_0
11:48 <Cepheid> This is obscure on the grounds that most people will not have finished the game in question that the name originates from.
11:48 <Cepheid> On the grounds that it was a buggy mess.
11:50 <ConfusionRift> Oh I suspected that was the case, though had no idea about the name for your laptop.
11:51 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
11:51 <Cepheid> Ah, heh.
11:51 <ConfusionRift> After linking Sonic to the name, and mentioning it wasn't in relation to the actual star, it kinda fell in place. :P
11:51 <Cepheid> I typically name my stuff after stellar objects, it just so happens that Solaris happens to be a stellar object in this case, while also the name of a boss.
11:55 * Schism awakens and yawns. "Meanwhile, obvious computer names are obvious."
11:56 <Schism> Darn your eyes, Cepheid.
11:58 <Schism> While I do appreciate the fun of futzing about with Skyrim again, I was messing about with mods and the like all last night.
11:59 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:00 <Cepheid> Hum. Even with all the mods out there, I'd never be able to properly reproduce Cepheid as I envision her in Skyrim, Fallout 4, and the like.
12:02 <Cepheid> The true form cannot be reproduced, meanwhile, the human form and other forms are all mechanical in nature.
12:04 <Cepheid> True form is a class M star with a color of 3,200 K, confined to a dyson sphere in the shape of a {3,5+}3,0 truncated icosahedron.
12:04 <Cepheid> Which... I don't think would fit on Tamriel.
12:05 * Dappled once again ponders getting that Dyson Sphere game on steam.
12:20 * Dappled go bed horse.

12:27 *** Joins: uni (unicodingun@Pony-8k4.sjj.166.202.IP)
12:34 * ConfusionRift is finally getting through the final mission. And he keeps accidentally shooting allies that KEEP GETTING ON HIS WAY!
12:38 <Schism> That... was a fine breakfast. :3
12:38 <Schism> Haven't had a continental in a while.
12:39 * Lumindia applies hugs toi Schism
12:39 * Schism offers Lumin some of these steak and popotoes.
12:39 * Lumindia noms
12:39 <Lumindia> thankies!
12:39 * Lumindia counteroffers some scrambled eggs with bacon bits in it
12:40 * Schism noms the bacon, but has already had eggs! They were lightly fried, though of course one of them broke when she flipped it, because one _always_ breaks.
12:41 <Lumindia> the nice thi ng aboug ehg
12:41 <Lumindia> if you heck up making over easy or an omlette
12:41 <Lumindia> you can fall back on scrambled
12:41 <Schism> True, but you can't dip toast in the yolk of a scrambled egg.
12:43 <Lumindia> fair
12:43 <Lumindia> but you always hvae a fallback
12:43 * Lumindia attempts to nom on Schism's ear
12:44 * Schism squeaks, all Ali-like.
12:45 <Lumindia> o wo
12:45 * Lumindia applies snugs
13:11 * ConfusionRift puts on shades, and sits back to watch the fireworks.
13:11 * Finwe applies noms on Lumindia's tail.
13:11 <Finwe> o3o
13:11 * Lumindia flicks tail in Finwe's face
13:11 * Finwe noms some more.
13:16 <Cepheid> Cmake, thanks for taking up all 12 threads of my system. I can barely do anything else now.
13:31 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1368554788925870082 Oh gods my laptop.
13:32 *** Quits: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
13:32 * ConfusionRift sniffs. "Why does it smell of blue smoke?"
13:32 <Cepheid> Surprisingly the CPU is meant to run at these temps.
13:33 <Cepheid> Normally it downclocks aggressively to account for it.
13:33 <Cepheid> I got a cooling pad which prevents that from happening though.
13:34 <Cepheid> Interestingly enough, my current power adapter cannot provide enough power to run two USB devices while the CPU is loaded such.
13:34 <Cepheid> The battery is discharging even while plugged in.
13:36 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
13:37 <Cepheid> Fortunately the build is almost done, so..
13:39 <Cepheid> Oh my gods that was just one part of the whole package.
13:40 <Cepheid> Oh, there it goes.
13:48 <Cepheid> And apparently I didn't need to do that to my poor laptop.
13:49 <Cepheid> Ah, wait, no, I did.
13:53 <ConfusionRift> Ow ow ow ow ow my arm is cramping ow ow.
14:03 <ConfusionRift> Well, that was unpleasant.
14:04 <Cepheid> Huh, the North American Blackout of 2003 was caused by a race condition?
14:05 * Finwe noms on pasta and lentil ragù.
14:06 * uni giggles at the name ragù
14:07 <Finwe> It's Italian, I think.
14:08 <Finwe> Not orthodox ragù, though, because there is no meat.
14:08 <Lumindia> @ConfusionRift: Once the magic blue smoke is released from electronics, they tend not to work anymore
14:09 <Cepheid> And since this piece of electronics is still working, blue smoke therefore must have not been released.
14:09 <Finwe> Indeed. The blue smoke is what keeps electronic appliances running.
14:10 <uni> yeah which is why it's such a closely guarded secret
14:10 * ConfusionRift chuckles.
14:10 <uni> like printer toner
14:10 <Finwe> Mr uni.
14:10 <ConfusionRift> And the mice inside the mouse.
14:10 * Finwe doffs his hat.
14:10 <uni> ah salutations RAdm. Finwe, sir
14:11 * uni hats on Finwe
14:11 <ConfusionRift> And the little ants that go crazy when a TV has no signal.
14:11 <Finwe> uni: What's so funny about ragù?
14:11 <uni> nah it just sounds like the name of one of my seniors
14:11 <Finwe> I see.
14:12 <uni> mmh sorry it is silly
14:12 * Cepheid implements a parallel version of count-all-the-blanks-in-a-string.
14:14 <Finwe> My friend was in mortar company, and they had a lieutenant with the same name as the fictional conscript in the Conscript's Handbook had. He had told them to strike it over and change it to their own name.
14:14 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
14:14 <Finwe> Miss Angeline.
14:14 * Finwe doffs his hat.
14:15 <Finwe> Teräväinen was the name. I guess you could translate it to Sharpe.
14:16 <Cepheid> Ah, mother's up, so I can go upstairs and do this.
14:21 <uni> hehe, I like your story
14:21 <uni> what's the Conscript's Handbook?
14:25 <Cepheid> I assume it's a handbook for those newly enlisted in the country-local military.
14:26 * Cepheid flops off to take a shower.
14:31 * ConfusionRift flops to sleep.
14:31 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-73b.g9o.6.154.IP) (Quit: Recharging the batteries. Laters! *shutdown*)
14:41 <Cepheid> Please let this be the last floor of this labyrinth. Its gimmicks are annoying.
14:51 <Cepheid> Especially as this particular section has me stumped.
14:52 <Cepheid> And moments after I say that I figure it out.
14:52 <Finwe> uni: It's what you get when you are conscripted.
14:53 <Finwe> It covers the basic training and such.
14:53 <Finwe> Then further on there is other material to study, according to your special training.
14:55 <Finwe> AT weaponry, armoured vehicles, squadleading and international operations, in my case.
14:55 <uni> oh my, you people have books
14:59 <Finwe> Yes, whoever made the research decisions for our civilisation chose writing and literacy instead or monarchy and feudalism.
15:00 <Finwe> I mean alphabet, writing and literacy.
15:01 <Finwe> It's been ages since I last played Civ 1.
15:02 <Finwe> Alphabet -> Writing -> Literacy -> Philosophy -> Democracy.
15:03 <Cepheid> Well that almost ended badly. Was deep in the dungeon with no threads. No way to escape easily.
15:03 <Finwe> Literacy also requires Code of Laws.
15:04 <Finwe> and Philosophy requires Mysticism.
15:04 <Finwe> And Mysticism requires Ceremonial Burial.
15:12 <Cepheid> I'm not sure why Atlus named what appears to be a sleepy bird "Haggis"
15:20 <Cepheid> Hell and damnation, it's not the last floor.
15:29 <Cepheid> "I want some wool from a dream eater." ... Yeah, I'll get right on that NEVER.

18:22 <Finwe> Lt Pony|27536.
18:22 <Finwe> o7
18:22 * Finwe applies oil to Schism.
18:22 <Finwe> That might stop the squeaking.
18:23 <Finwe> I'm still to find the right kind of oil to have effect on Ali.
18:23 <Finwe> o3o
18:23 <Ali> There will never be one
18:23 * Ali forever squeaky
18:24 * Finwe uses synthetic lubricant instead.
18:25 * Cepheid applies garlic oil.
18:25 * Cepheid kills her first dragon of this Skyrim run. Now she'll be assaulted by dragons randomly. o3o
18:26 <Finwe> Dragons are rather meh. All you need is a bow or a couple of spells and a stone pillar.
18:28 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm not using either bows or spells, and I've also modded the dragons to be deadlier.
18:28 <Finwe> Then the procedure is just while(dragon) {shoot(); if(breath) take_cover();}
18:28 <Finwe> Cepheid: In what way?
18:29 <Cepheid> Mod. Deadly Dragons. basically gives them more health, they dish out more damage, and greater variety of dragons to murder me with.
18:29 <Cepheid> As it is, killing the one at the tower was... troublesome.
18:29 <Finwe> As long as you don't alter their attack patterns, it will probably just take longer and there will be less room for mistakes.
18:31 <Finwe> But if you'd get the dragons to attack more aggressively, then they would probably be quite challenging.
18:31 <Finwe> Cepheid: The tower near Whiterun?
18:31 <Cepheid> Yeah.
18:32 <Cepheid> Not often I found a use for a potion of resist fire.
18:37 <Finwe> Did Bethesda fix the skill potions in some update?
18:39 <Finwe> It was possible to just quaff potions of smithing and enchantment, craft some items that enhance those skills further and finally get so ridiculously good equipment that no enemy was match to the PC anymore.
18:40 <Cepheid> I am not sure.
