00:02 * Starlight_Glimmer steals LibrarianofHope's burritos.
00:03 <Schism> Breath of the Wild.
00:04 <Lumindia> groceries have been ordered
00:05 <Schism> Ja Baij Shrine is surrounded by a lot of Beamos. However... you can climb up the walls surrounding them.
00:06 <Schism> So my brother went the long way around, and I just went, "WELP."
00:15 <Cepheid> Ah, yes.
00:15 <Ali> Are you sure its beamos and not those stupid insta kill lazor guys?
00:15 <Cepheid> Breath of the Wild, and the various small shrines and such.
00:15 <Cepheid> Guardians, they're called.
00:15 <Ali> Its been a hot minute since I touched BotW
00:15 <Ali> Just...too open ended
00:18 * Cepheid flops. Needs to lie down.
00:20 <Schism> They're _close enough to beamos_.
00:36 <Cepheid> Heh.
00:36 * Schism snugs the Cepheid. "I'm going to have some fun dreams tonight again, I'm sure. The last two nights have been... interesting."
00:36 <Cepheid> I need to go play through Breath of the Wild again on Master Mode.
00:41 <Schism> And now, to spend a few arrows on hunting certain creatures for raw meat. Possibly. I could probably just do something with hot peppers.
00:41 * Schism takes a break, though, for a few.
00:53 <Cepheid> Canada Post, really? You delivered a 12-gauge shotgun to the WRONG ADDRESS and didn't verify that the person at the door was the one who ordered the gun?
00:54 <LibrarianofHope> you got a gun?
00:55 <LibrarianofHope> either that or you lost one
00:57 <Schism> This would be a story in the news.
00:58 <Schism> The gun in question was delivered to the woman's 11-year-old son.
00:59 <Schism> "Dawna says after notifying Canada Post, they came back to pick up the package the next morning, offering only an apology and an explanation that the label likely fell off her package and came to be on the gun package by mistake."
01:00 <Cepheid> Not me.
01:00 <Cepheid> But yeah.
01:01 <Schism> Meanwhile, they held onto a Switch for the better part of a month and offered no explanation.
01:01 <Schism> But we know that story.

04:27 <Finwe> Morning, my perissodactyls of minute stature.
04:28 <Finwe> Messrs Cepheid and PinkieShy; Mlles Ali, Filly_Nightmares and Schism.
04:28 * Ali flops over the Finwe
04:28 * Finwe doffs his gas mask.
04:28 * Ali unflops over Finwe and goes to a place far far away
04:29 <Finwe> o3o?
04:29 * Ali doesn't understand faces like those.

04:58 <Ali> Feels like it should be later.
05:02 <Finwe> It's 7 a.m. o3o
05:02 * Finwe noms on Ali's time zone.
05:05 <Ali> And Daylight savings starts tomorrow...
05:06 <Finwe> Perplexing.
05:07 <Finwe> We do use summer time, but it doesn't start until end of the month.
05:08 <Finwe> There was a motion on abolishing the damned thing, but it got stuck somewhere in the bureaucracy.
05:08 <Finwe> People were strongly divided on the question about what the permanent time zone should be.
05:10 <Finwe> I think we should use our natural GMT+2, or even GMT+1 that is used by Sweden and Norway, but some people thought that we should go permanently to GMT+3.

07:32 * Ali squeaks at Finwe
07:32 <Finwe> o3o
07:33 * Finwe is a posh hat fit for any cute unicorn.
07:40 <Ali> But I'm not cute though
07:42 <Finwe> Well, any _allegedly_ cute unicorn. o3o
07:47 <Cepheid> Morning.

07:49 <Cepheid> Finwe.
07:50 <Finwe> Obscenely early morning, I'd say.
07:51 <Cepheid> Yes.
07:51 <Finwe> I woke up a bit after 6 a.m. and even that was unnecessarily early.
07:51 <Cepheid> This happens from time to time.
07:55 <RazorSharpFang> Man, oil stocks continue to do really well. I picked a bad time to be overall-bearish on them.
07:57 <RazorSharpFang> And green energy stock are slowly recovering.

08:30 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
08:35 <Cepheid> Rifty.
08:36 <ConfusionRift> Hey there. What's up?
08:36 <Cepheid> Not much, half-asleep.
08:37 <ConfusionRift> Same here. Some scammer kept calling my number.
08:38 <Cepheid> I just woke up way too early.
08:39 <ConfusionRift> Blaargh.
08:43 <Cepheid> I'll cope with it.
08:51 <Cepheid> There's a speedrun category for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, wherein the goal is to blue shell yourself as fast as possible.
08:52 <ConfusionRift> Blue shell yourself? So... you have to be in the last couple of positions, get the blue shell by luck, run to first, and get hit by it?
08:53 <Cepheid> Yes.
08:58 <ConfusionRift> Well, I suppose someone was bored. :P
09:02 <Cepheid> Yep.
09:12 * Schism peers at Breath of the Wild. "King Zora is not as corpulent as usual."
09:16 <ConfusionRift> Oh, first time seeing King Zora there?
09:20 <Schism> Doruphon or whatever, but yeah.
09:20 * Schism shrugs.
09:22 <ConfusionRift> Yep, King Dorephan.
09:22 <ConfusionRift> "You know, maybe we should try to make him look like a king, and not just king size." :P
09:26 <Cepheid> Still nothin' compared to his kids, though.

10:03 * Cepheid whistles. That quest is quite the distance away.
10:14 <Cepheid> Yeeeah I'm gonna stick around Balmora and look around for ruins near there instead.
10:36 * Cepheid runs up to Schism and hides. "Saint Jiub save me!"
10:37 * Dappled chews on sticks.
11:02 <Cepheid> I should get back to Factorio.

11:03 * Schism chuckles.
11:06 * Golden flops.
11:08 <Finwe> Miss Schism, Mr Golden.
11:08 * Finwe doffs his gas mask.
11:08 <Cepheid> Schism: Honestly, that prince just needs a pair of triangular orange shades, and he'd fit in with the crew of Gurren Lagann.
11:12 <Schism> He does have that cocky everything about him.
11:13 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, as far as the Internet is concerned the sister may as well be literal bait. Throw her into the ocean attached to a line, and you're guaranteed to pull back 100 men and 10 women.
11:14 <Schism> Pretty sure that 10% is way too low.
11:14 <Cepheid> Probably.
11:14 <Cepheid> But I don't know what the actual number is.
11:15 <Schism> Eh, it's been quoted for decades. There are probably several studies. Kinsey is derided, but was at least on a slightly correct track.
11:15 * Schism shrugs, and chuckles. "However, Mipha's voice actor is as wooden as a table."
11:16 <Schism> At least in the English release, she is. Amelia Gotham sounds like she genuinely could not care less.
11:16 <Cepheid> Mmm.
11:16 <Cepheid> The English voices weren't exactly the best, yeh.
11:16 <Schism> "I'll heal you no matter what," in the most resigned and flat tone I've ever heard in a professional production.
11:18 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, the voice acting in the game isn't... that great, with certain characters.
11:21 <Schism> "You'll need at least 20 shock arrows." Me: "Okay, 90 shock arrows it is." "That's not what I--" "MY HANDS SHAKE OKAY?!"
11:23 <Cepheid> No, that's fair game.
11:23 * ConfusionRift chuckles... then stops. He felt that. ._.
11:23 <Cepheid> I'd recommend a minimum of 40. I also advise against the motion controls when possible, especially for aiming.
11:24 <Schism> Ironically, so long as I can keep steady, I _do_ prefer the gyroscope for aiming compared to the stick.
11:25 <ConfusionRift> If it's what I think it is, more than 20 is highly suggested. As Cepheid said, 40 minimum, but it's never wrong with more. Some things are gonna get a bit out of control, or you might over/underestimated something. So being on the safe is suggested.
11:25 <ConfusionRift> Gyro controls... well, if that's what you want.
11:25 <Cepheid> To each their own I guess.
11:25 <Schism> "How dare you take the shock arrow I'm used to train myself. I suppose that YOU can fight Vah Ruta, then." "...yes, thank you, I believe I shall."
11:25 <Cepheid> I am not steady enough for them.
11:26 <Schism> using*
11:26 <Cepheid> Between the vyvanse and the coffee, shaking is frequent.
11:26 <Schism> Gyro controls... I vary. It feels like I'm constantly trembling at least a little, especially after an excess of caffeine, but then I also sometimes get ridiculously steady.
11:27 <Schism> I'm tempted to say a part of that _MIGHT_ be the Centipede's Dilemma.
11:32 * Cepheid closes her eyes and tries to visualize a problem for purposes of solving.
11:33 * Schism takes a knife to a cyproterone pill. "Sigh. Splitting smol pills is... tricky."
11:33 <Schism> I'll probably get a pill cutter after all for ease of use.
11:35 * Lumindia boops Schism
11:35 <Schism> Hum. That worked out better. Yay, quarter tabs.
11:36 * Golden has unlocked the water crystal level of jobs in Final Fantasy 3
11:36 * Schism bloops the Lumin.
11:36 <Schism> Yay! Dragoon, Viking, Evoker, and Dark Knight. ...and Bard, I guess.
11:38 <Finwe> Wearing masks was made "compulsory" in mass transit today.
11:38 <Schism> Good. It's been a requisite for transit here for months.
11:38 <Finwe> Not really compulsory, because there is no law based on which such requirement could be enforced.
11:39 <Schism> Does the transit program have the right to refuse service to passengers based on reasonable concerns about health and safety?
11:39 <Finwe> I decided to comply anyways: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hPnBoc4Z4QfnnhH17
11:39 <Finwe> Schism: No.
11:39 <Schism> Hm.
11:39 <Schism> Oh, a fine mask that is indeed.
11:39 <Finwe> It's municipal service, so without legislation there is no way of denying service from the public.
11:40 <Finwe> And such legislation does not exit.
11:40 <Finwe> *exist
11:40 <Cepheid> Why is it on the day I don't get enough sleep, I feel compelled to do programming?
11:40 <Schism> Because half the reason you don't get enough sleep is because your brain is firing on all cylinders.
11:41 <Finwe> So now it's obligatory to wear mask, but if you decide not to then you still get to ride on the buses, trains, trams and ferries.
11:41 <Cepheid> Perhaps. I'm gonna go try take a nap before my appointment later today.
11:41 <Schism> I'm halfway given to suggest that there should be a social media program to share images of people who don't wear masks on public transit.
11:41 <Schism> However, no.
11:41 <Finwe> Except the national railways trains, because that is a company and not municipal service.
11:42 <Schism> And are the national railways turning away customers without masks?
11:42 <Finwe> Schism: Yes.
11:42 <Schism> Excellent.
11:42 <Finwe> It's a bit of a borderline case, it's a "private" company completely owned by the state.
11:43 <Finwe> Private bus companies have anyways nigh stopped operating, so I don't know about those.
11:44 <Schism> Hmm.
11:45 <Cepheid> Whelp that woke me up.
11:45 <Cepheid> Stepped on Tizzy's tail.
11:45 <Schism> That... will do it.
11:45 <Schism> Woke Tizzy up, too.
11:45 <Cepheid> She was already awake.
11:46 <Schism> Moreso now.
11:46 <Cepheid> She was just standing in the doorway with her tail spread out across the doorway.
11:46 * Schism eyebrows. "Cats should _eventually_ learn where not to sit..."
11:47 <Cepheid> https://lastplacecomics.com/dont-try-this-at-home/ I swear this is the logic used by so, so many people.
11:47 <Schism> Hum. food food food. Definitely a loaf of bread, maybe some bagels and cream cheese. Everything else can go hang for the moment, save for maybe some orange juice if it's on sale.
11:48 * Finwe noms on feta salad.
11:48 <Schism> Might pick up feta salad if it's on. What else?
11:48 <Lumindia> sbubby, eef freef
11:48 <Schism> Nope, I don't see any desire to eat a cake disguised as a bread.
11:48 <Finwe> I bought 750g spinach.
11:48 <Schism> You clearly have more storage space than I.
11:49 <Finwe> I plan cooking another set of palak paneer.
11:49 <Schism> Not a bad plan for it. I might even pick up a bag of spinach and just fry it up with some garlic, olive oil and a few spices.
11:49 <Finwe> I still have a plethora of spices from the last set.
11:49 <Schism> Anyhoof. Be right back. Said store run shall commence momentarily.
11:50 <Finwe> Off you go, then.
11:50 <Finwe> o3o
11:50 <Finwe> Don't forget your gas mask.
11:50 <Schism> As it so transpires, the store won't let people in without a mask. o3o For which I offer the most strenuous applause.

12:08 * Cepheid cannot sleep. Whee.
12:09 <Cepheid> I have Fatalis' theme stuck in my head.
12:10 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTtJhniVaYA&t=844s
12:10 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
12:10 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Fatalis Medley - Monster Hunter World Iceborne
12:10 <Cepheid> I like it's Nova/Ultimate better than Alatreon's.
12:11 * Cepheid wonders if Akantor and Ukanlos will return in Rise to torment ConfusionRift.
12:11 <ConfusionRift> Heheheee hehe heheheeeeee. :P
12:13 <Cepheid> I actually wonder how they'd rework Akantor.
12:14 <Cepheid> As for Fatalis' nova, it's basically pretty straightforward. It's an insane dragonbreath. Covers the entire arena, and there's only a few places to survive it, which change as the battle goes on.
12:14 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/7sAAHSD.png This is the result of the breath.
12:16 <Finwe> Quite an inferno.
12:16 <Cepheid> It melts steel beams.
12:16 <Cepheid> So it's hotter than jet fuel fires.
12:17 <Cepheid> The NPC commentary is a joke, though.
12:17 <Cepheid> "The horns are broken, it's flames aren't as strong." *Flame attacks have actually gotten STRONGER.*
12:19 <Cepheid> It's biggest non-nova attack, a wide-arc flamebreath with a bit of a windup, goes from killing you in 4-5 ticks of damage, to 1-2 ticks.
12:24 <Cepheid> And keep in mind, this is with a 60% reduction in fire damage.
12:30 <Cepheid> I wonder what the original Fatalis was like.
12:32 * ConfusionRift doesn't remember that fight very well.
12:33 <ConfusionRift> From what I remember, it wasn't required, and was a guild quest only.
12:33 <ConfusionRift> So... double fun.
12:34 <ConfusionRift> But I can already see it changed completely.
12:38 <Cepheid> Yep.
12:39 * ConfusionRift wonders if this is the same castle.
12:39 <Cepheid> It is.
12:39 <Cepheid> Castle Schrade.
12:40 <ConfusionRift> Ah, thought would be the case.
12:41 <Cepheid> Castle Schrade, where people go to get turned into Well-done Steaks.
12:42 <ConfusionRift> It's what happens when fools keep messing with the big lizard in it. :P
12:43 <Cepheid> Well in this case, the big lizard decided to mess with the humans.
12:47 * ConfusionRift sighs, as he was reminded the mess that was constantly carrying 4 different crafting books just to get guaranteed chances of making items.
12:48 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:48 <Cepheid> Glad they got rid of that.
12:48 <ConfusionRift> Yes. That is something we don't need to see returning.
12:50 <Cepheid> Fortunately it isn't.
12:52 <ConfusionRift> I really didn't mind the multiple shot type for bows. Alas, that's one thing that got simplified and revamped.
12:52 <Cepheid> Mmm.
12:53 <Cepheid> The three forms were basically turned into different attacks, yeah.
12:53 * ConfusionRift nods.
12:53 <Cepheid> Hunting Horns are getting revamped for Rise, as well.
12:54 <Cepheid> Basically, it looks like we only get 4 songs per horn now. Three of them are performed by inputting two of the same attack in a row.
12:54 <Cepheid> So X->X, A->A, or X+A->X+A.
12:54 <ConfusionRift> Yep, they made them faster, simplified the melodies, and I think they centralized the melodies as well.
12:55 <Cepheid> The last one is perform a pair of any of the three attacks, and perform a recital-like attack.
12:55 <Cepheid> The effects are instantaneous as well.
12:55 <ConfusionRift> I can tell the rock set if back. :P
12:56 * ConfusionRift wonders if the "joke" weapons are back.
12:57 <Cepheid> Guaranteed they are.
12:57 <ConfusionRift> Nice.
13:01 <ConfusionRift> You know, that's one thing I never questioned. In some case, you don't kill the monster. It just flees, but still counts as a win. You get monster parts from the quest completion, but... how? The monster ran off. Where do these parts come from? :P
13:01 <Cepheid> Whether they'll make any sense to us though is up for debate, with the theme choice for the game as a whole.
13:01 <ConfusionRift> I suspect the cooking set is back.
13:02 <Cepheid> It's known that there's an organization that provides the quests for the quest NPCs to hand off to hunters. Presumably, some of the quest reward parts are a form of payment.
13:03 <Cepheid> When we hunt, we carve three parts off the body, the rest of the corpse goes to said organization, which presumably processes it, and throws the parts in storage.
13:04 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, but it seems hinted that these parts come from the monster that just got taken down... then again, it wouldn't make sense to get more parts from trapping than by hunting. Unless... they cut it in pieces and then throw it away.
13:04 <ConfusionRift> And then, things got super dark.
13:05 <Cepheid> Not when you consider the reproductive and growth rates of these monsters.
13:05 <Cepheid> "You're hunting another Rathian? That's what, your 30th in the last month now?"
13:05 <Cepheid> "And yet, we're still up to our gills in Rathians friggen everywhere. What's your point?"
13:06 <ConfusionRift> "Well, they lay in large clutches, so-" | Uh-huuuuuuh?! | "...maybe you got a point."
13:07 <Cepheid> "Those nests have so many eggs you could spend 50 minutes picking up new eggs and you wouldn't deplete even 1% of them."
13:07 <ConfusionRift> There's only one god monster in this world... and I killed it about 35 times already. :P
13:08 <Cepheid> At least with Zorah Magdaros, it makes sense.
13:08 <Cepheid> It's probably the same one just coming back over and over. Sometimes he's extra-pissed off, and comes in arch-tempered.
13:08 <ConfusionRift> It doesn't take the hint.
13:08 <Cepheid> "I'm hungry."
13:10 <ConfusionRift> Also, that would be a sad, yet interesting mechanic to implement. Depending on the hunting frequency of a monster, that quest becomes available less often. And eventually, it just doesn't come back anymore.
13:10 <Cepheid> I think that was the idea behind the quests that appeared randomly.

13:34 <ConfusionRift> Huuuuh.

13:36 <Cepheid> Probably because it caused weirdness with regards to players joining in.
13:36 <Cepheid> World has a lot of issues with that, required cutscenes and such.
13:38 <Cepheid> They resolved it near the end of it's lifespan, though. With cutscenes that have multiple players in them and such.

17:14 <Ali> yeah I've been sleeping like crap too
17:14 <Schism> During the day, weirdly, I have a lot more energy.
17:15 <Schism> Well, most days. This has been a hellish Saturday, with all the crazies crawling out the woodwork.
17:15 <Ali> Is it a full moon?
17:15 <Schism> "Why aren't my shoes being delivered today?" "Because UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays."
17:15 <Schism> New Moon.

22:08 <Finwe> 28th of March is when we go over to summer time.
22:08 <Finwe> East European Summer Time, to be precise.
22:09 <Finwe> Not BST or CEST or whatever.
22:10 <Finwe> We were supposed to get rid of summer time this year, but that would have been too serendipitous, so now it's going to go on for several years.
22:15 <Finwe> The decision to abolish summer time was practically made, and there was a referendum on whether we should use permanent summer time or permanent standard time, slightly in favour of permanent standard time, but not clearly enough.
22:16 <Finwe> I voted for permanent standard time myself. We had that back when I was born, but because most of Europe used summer time it was also introduced in Finland.
22:22 * Schism mms. "There's no real need for it, really. All it does is confuse people, and I look forward to starting work tomorrow and being the only person who logs in on time."
22:24 * Ali grumps on the Schism
22:26 * Schism countergrumps on the Ali.
22:44 <Starlight_Glimmer> Daylight Savings Time is nonsense!
22:44 <Starlight_Glimmer> Primarily because nopony actually wants daylight ;)
22:44 <Ali> I want Twilight~
22:45 <Schism> Twilight Savings Time does sound much better. *sagenod*
22:45 <Starlight_Glimmer> That's not how you spell Moonlight.
22:48 <Schism> "Lupin killed him." "KILLED HIM?!" "Yes, but I don't suppose that'll hold him long."
22:53 * Starlight_Glimmer replaces Ali's Twilight plush with a Luna plush and goes to bed.
22:53 * Ali hisses and replaces Starlight_Glimmer's bed with Tartarus
22:54 * Starlight_Glimmer will just sleep in Ali's bed instead.
22:54 * Ali finds that unlikely, as its a whole ocean away.
22:59 <Starlight_Glimmer> A good chance to cuddle with that moon kitten of yours ... and throw the other one out the door ;)
22:59 <Ali> Neither of them want cuddles :T
23:07 <Starlight_Glimmer> Well Tia is just horrible as usual and Luna of course knows Ali cuddles are just for me. I don't like sharing.
23:08 <Ali> Well you should learn
23:08 <Ali> Cause you'd have to compete with the Twi plushie
23:21 <Schism> Think I'll be ordering some burgers from these guys on general principles. o3o Haven't seen them before, so a test to see if they're worthwhile is certainly viable. https://theburgerspriest.com/our-menu/
23:22 <Schism> Surprisingly, the vegan burgers are indeed cheaper than the meat ones.
23:38 <Schism> Burger.

23:44 * Cepheid noms energy drink.
23:44 * Schism saunters down to the burger store. o7o
23:45 <Schism> After writing down the order, naturally.
23:46 <Cepheid> I want a cheesburger.
23:47 <Schism> I'm picking up two bacon cheeseburgers with all the fixings, and extra onions and mushrooms.
23:48 <Schism> One with bleu cheese sauce instead of whatever.
