00:06 <Schism> Huh.  Rogers is buying Shaw.

00:14 <Cepheid> That...  I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

00:15 <Schism> It's something.

00:20 * Cepheid puts Guard Up + Constitution 5 on armor. Won't be able to deal as much damage, but seeing as how she's playing a combo minimal DPS+Healing build..

00:24 <Cepheid> Though it'll be a while before I use it.

00:24 <Cepheid> I kinda want to go find a dark corner, curl up in it, and cry.  Migraine./

00:44 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/pJ5Wz79.jpg I still find it distressing I got all this stuff somehow.

02:19 <Cepheid> I wonder if that's the same cat as from that one video.

02:20 <Schism> No, but it seems rather similar.

02:20 <Cepheid> Well, that's one more player in the guild of "Fatalis Slayers."

02:20 <Cepheid> After 5 tries, we finally got a kill in.

02:20 <Schism> Noice.  o5o

02:21 <Cepheid> That'd be my third kill.

02:21 <Schism> This video, I take it?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBF1o7ThQMc

02:21 <Cepheid> That's the one.

02:21 <Cepheid> Gotta be that cat, or at least related to it.

04:31 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

04:32 * Ali is extremely mad a socity right now

04:32 * ConfusionRift looks around. Then checks around. Then sits back down. (like)

04:33 *** Joins: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-gala8p.9jg9.umel.6c44.2600.IP)

04:34 * Cepheid eats a bowl of chocolate pudding.

04:34 <Ali> Some jerk is said that autism isn't a disability

04:34 * Ali words things gud.

04:34 * Schism offers Cepheid some bananas to slice into her chocolate pudding.

04:35 <ConfusionRift> Ali: ....whoooooo. (click)

04:35 <Ali> In this news article

04:36 <Ali> A 4 year old kid got kicked off a plane for not wearing a mask, even though they had a note from the doctor saying they have autism and have an issue with wearing a mask and starts to have issues

04:36 <ConfusionRift> Oh, or course. There will always be that one person in article, or commenting on them, who can sit on a tack.

04:36 <Ali> But the flight attentent said GTFO the plane and that autism isn't a disability

04:37 * Ali is pretty livid with that comment

04:37 <ConfusionRift> I hope said flight attendant got a good toss out.

04:38 <Cepheid> Right, time to abuse tylenol.

04:39 <ConfusionRift> Freakin'... they got Monster Hunting doggo plushes.

04:39 * Ali also grumps on ConfusionRift, keeps dying to dreadnautalus and she can't get a mech boss to spawn so the game is just in a stupid loop of her doing nothing to progress.

04:40 <ConfusionRift> Isn't that one optional?

04:40 <Ali> it drops a summoner weapon

04:40 * ConfusionRift also completely 100% forgot that boss existed.

04:40 <ConfusionRift> The staff?

04:40 <Ali> Eeyup

04:41 <Ali> Its better than any staff at the time

04:41 <Ali> Cause the spiders can't fly or fight in the air

04:41 <Ali> And the pirate staff has the same issue

04:41 <Ali> So its either that or prying to RNGesus that the blade staff drops off the queen slime

04:42 <Ali> And she's not easy either

04:42 <ConfusionRift> Same for the pygmy staff.

04:42 <Ali> Pygmy isn't until plantera

04:42 <Ali> And bleh, hate that fight so much

04:42 <ConfusionRift> They also have the same issues; are grounded.

04:43 <ConfusionRift> Playing normal or expert?

04:45 <Schism> Cepheid: Hah, courtesy of egg_irl, no doubt: https://twitter.com/sh1nxi/status/1370827486150410241

04:46 * Schism satisfies craving with pickles and cheddar.

04:50 <Cepheid> Heh.

04:51 <Ali> Normal ConfusionRift...

04:51 <Cepheid> Somehow, my nose is dry, wet, and itchy all at the same time.  My eyes are both in agony, and my forehead feels like it's about to collapse in on itself.

04:56 <ConfusionRift> Ali: Oh good. If it wasn't, surely would have been a pain, to say the least. Especially miss bullethell.

04:57 <Ali> ConfusionRift, I only beat Queen slime cause I got the nimbus staff

04:57 <Ali> Without it I got crushed

04:57 <Cepheid> The pain alone is enough to say "I should go to the hospital." But that wouldn't do much for me.

04:57 <Ali> Also doesn't help that I never found feral claws

04:58 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Sounding like a form of buildup again. 0_0;

05:00 <ConfusionRift> Considering how slow I'm taking Terraria, it's gonna be a while till I fight any of these. ._.

05:00 <Cepheid> Feels more

05:01 <Cepheid> Feels more like a severe allergic reaction.

05:01 <ConfusionRift> And my luck has been pretty bad, so I'm not exactly happy with this seed either.

05:01 <ConfusionRift> That could also be the case, yes.

05:02 <Cepheid> Especially due to the itchiness in my nose and the not-constant, but more-frequent-than-usual sneezing.

05:16 <Cepheid> Tylenol is starting to kick in.

06:20 <Finwe> Morning, my perissodactyls of minute stature.

06:21 <Cepheid> I wonder if I have an HDMI cable laying around here somewhere, unused.  I need to test this capture card out.

06:21 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

06:21 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.

06:22 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Filly_Nightmares and Schism; Messrs Cepheid, Heartbreak, Lumindia and PinkieShy.

06:22 * Finwe doffs his hat.

06:22 * Ali cries at ConfusionRift, unicorn has had several blood moons, WITH a water candle and it still hasn't dropped

06:23 <Finwe> Sounds like Terraria.

06:23 <ConfusionRift> I had like 4 in a row, followed by 3 goblin invasions, and stacked after each other. Got upset, decided to just remove Skeletron from existence... and he dropped a big ol' nothing.

06:23 <ConfusionRift> Yarp.

06:24 <ConfusionRift> And then I stopped playing.

06:24 <Finwe> There's no nothing like big old nothing.

06:24 * Ali gives ConfusionRift a Chippy's Couch for the heck of it

06:25 <Finwe> Which is a bit contradictory, because it basically means that there is something like big old nothing.

06:25 * ConfusionRift is doubly upset now. :P

06:25 <ConfusionRift> Finwe: But there is. :P https://i.imgur.com/lwV3lLs.jpg

06:26 <Finwe> o3o

06:26 * Finwe noms on nothing.

06:27 <ConfusionRift> It's great, no?

06:27 <Finwe> Difficult to say, it's not like nothing I've experienced before.

06:28 <Cepheid> Hum.  Capture device has a slight delay, so I'll have to use it's passthrough stuff.

06:28 <Finwe> Howeven, I'm aware that nothing can make me cry, so I proceed with caution.

06:28 <Finwe> However*

06:29 <Cepheid> Which means I'll need a secondary device for chat monitoring.

06:45 <Cepheid> 1080p.

06:45 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, yeah, that's basically raw.

06:45 <Cepheid> Yep.

06:46 * Cepheid goes up to ConfusionRift in their house. "Hey, I dislike the lack of social distancing here."

06:46 <ConfusionRift> Oh, come on now. :P

06:46 <Cepheid> :P

07:24 <ConfusionRift> Yep!

07:25 <Finwe> Mr Golden.

07:25 * Finwe doffs his hat.

07:28 <Golden> Hey

07:29 <ConfusionRift> The brand new NBA 2155! With the gaming mechanics of 2130, the bugs from 2154, characters/players from 2150-2153 that you have to pay for, brand new bugs, and an incomplete career mode that was never fixed from the alpha version! Oh, and optional special edition stuff that anyone can buy without the special edition copy!

07:31 <ConfusionRift> They should just give their racing series to someone who actually cares.

07:33 * ConfusionRift sighs at the licensing garbage that happened with that.

07:33 <Cepheid> I love the taste of bile in the back of my throat.  Wait, no I don't.

07:36 <Ali> I tried 15, but my god its not fun

07:36 <ConfusionRift> NASCAR and NFS.

07:36 <Ali> It used to be simple adjustments that anyone could understand

07:37 <Ali> Now they got every little nickpick thing you'd ever want

07:37 <Ali> And I might of watched NASCAR for 20 years

07:37 <Ali> But I know jack yay about fine tuning a car

07:37 <Ali> And its not fun running almost three seconds slower than evryone else

07:38 <Finwe> I just discovered a nerd among my Steam friends who had played Motorsport Manager for over 1200 hours.

07:39 <Finwe> People like that probably would be able to fine-tune a watermelon to runt three seconds faster per lap.

07:39 <Finwe> s/runt/run/

07:40 <Ali> That game has six sliders and the drivers give feedback on how the car handles

07:40 <ConfusionRift> It's a manager simulator, not a driving simulator. :P

07:41 <Finwe> Oh, the nerd in question seems to be Ali. :3

07:41 * ConfusionRift understands a bit more about fine tuning, but not an expert on it.

07:42 <Ali> I'm probably like the only idiot that has 1200 hours in that game

07:42 <ConfusionRift> Oh I doubt it.

07:42 * Finwe patpathugs the Ali.

07:42 <Ali> ConfusionRift, its a game from 2016

07:42 <Ali> only 300ish people are playing it right now

07:43 <Finwe> I recall when ultimate nolifer title was granted for having played Donald Duck's Playground for three hours.

07:44 <Finwe> It's a game where you can work to earn money, buy rides for your playground and use the rides.

07:45 <Finwe> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLQvTApN-60

07:45 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

07:45 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Donald Duck's Playground (c64) longplay

07:49 <ConfusionRift> Okay hold on, where's the clothier? [The Clothier has arrived!] Never mind.

07:51 * Ali stabs a clothier doll. "Skeletron has Awoken!*

07:52 <Heartbreak> Wat?

07:53 <ConfusionRift> Oh noooo, not Skeletroooon! (blasts its face with a space gun and bee "arrows")

07:54 <ConfusionRift> The first row of dungeon skellies... and got the tally counter. This is suspiciously lucky.

07:54 <Ali> I'm still not a fan of the crumbly dungeon

07:56 <PinkieShy> o_o

07:56 <PinkieShy> I caught a missingno and it froze my game

07:56 <ConfusionRift> I don't think many are. Especially for those who didn't bother with mobility stuff.

08:02 <Cepheid> Oh, by the by Rifty.  Armor system is that of World.  One armor set that works for gunners and blademasters alike.  No need to collect different sets.

08:10 <Ali> To be honest

08:10 <Ali> Just about everything locked in the shadow chests aren't worth it

18:27 * LibrarianofHope polishes lumidia for smol justice

18:27 * Cepheid thinks about some mathematics carefully.

18:31 <Cepheid> If I take the atan2() of a vector, I get it's angle.  So, start with a vector V1, and get it's 90-degree counterclockwise vector V2 (-V1.y, V1.x), calculate the angle using atan2(), then from there...  Hmm, yes, that could work.

18:36 <Cepheid> I wish I knew why I took 3 days to figure that out.  It was easier than I thought.

18:53 <Cepheid> The prof just made my assignment much more difficult.

18:53 <Cepheid> He explicitly made it so that the subsections of the board have to be squares.

18:53 <Cepheid> So dealing with a prime number of processors has become an issue.

20:02 <LibrarianofHope> i will now procced to have a small breakdown

20:03 * LibrarianofHope screams like an elder god who stubbed an eldrtcih toe

20:05 * Finwe noms on Ali in general.

20:05 * Ali squeaks at Finwe

20:07 * LibrarianofHope squeaks at ali

20:07 <Finwe> o3o

20:20 * Cepheid uses Finwe's brain to solve some math,

20:26 <Cepheid> Nothing spectacular.  Just how many sides a polygon inscribed within a circle would need in order to cover approximately 99.9% of the area of the circle.

20:27 * LibrarianofHope facepalms , on the desk

20:27 <Cepheid> You okay LibrarianofHope?

20:28 <LibrarianofHope> stresses

20:28 <LibrarianofHope> stressed

20:28 <LibrarianofHope> a lot

20:28 * LibrarianofHope thows ali into the cute closet

20:28 * Ali poofs onto LibrarianofHope back, unicorn not compatable

20:29 <Finwe> Cepheid: A symmetric one?

20:29 <Cepheid> Ideally.

20:30 * LibrarianofHope updates Ali for compatibiltiy

20:30 <Cepheid> 99%, would be 26 sides.

20:30 * LibrarianofHope thhows finwe of a window

20:30 <Cepheid> 99.9% is around 80 sides.

20:31 <Cepheid> Which is a bit heavy.  I may just go with 99%.

20:31 <Finwe> For an n-gon there are n identical segments that are not covered.

20:31 <Cepheid> The math isn't difficult, really.  It's just a bunch of trial and error.

20:34 <Cepheid> Start by pre-calculating the area of a circle of a given radius, then taking the fraction of that I want.  That's my target.  Next, start with an inscribed polygon with 3 sides, calculate it's area.  If it's less than my target, double it.  Repeat.  Once I exceed the target, take one step back, and instead of doubling, add one half.  Repeat.  Keep going until I narrow it down.

20:34 <Cepheid> A simple divide-and-conquer approach, only instead of dividing, I'm multiplying.

20:40 <Cepheid> Why am I doing this?  I'm creating a 2D line renderer in OpenGL, using triangles as the building blocks.  I intend to use a half-circle to cap off the ends of the line.  But it has to be composed of triangles, and I want it to at least look approximate when it's scaled up.

20:41 <Cepheid> I mean yeah, I could use GL's "line" primitive mode, but it has annoying limitations.

20:43 <Cepheid> Namely, limited granularity.  On one video card, I might be able to specify 1.5 as the line width.  On another video card, 1.5 might not be possible.

20:48 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, a shader could resolve the problem, but it'd be slow.  Unless you can tell me how I can determine if a point is within a circle without using multiplication or square roots.

20:48 <Cepheid> Your only tools would be addition and subtraction.

20:48 <Cepheid> Multiplication is slow.  Square roots even slower.

20:48 <Finwe> Cepheid: The closed-form fraction occupied by the area between the polygon and the circle is also relatively easy to solve.

20:48 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

20:49 <Finwe> It's 1/n - 2/π * sin(π/n)cos(π/n) for an n-gon.

20:49 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

20:50 <Finwe> Then we just require that to be less than the desired treshold and solve for n.

20:51 <Cepheid> I wouldn't know how to solve for n in that case.

20:54 <Cepheid> Point is, I got my values, so I'm good.

20:55 <Cepheid> So, there's no need for you to solve it.  The other problem on the other hand, the one above in determining if a point is in a circle or not using just addition and subtraction, is a monumental feat.

20:56 <Cepheid> Assume the circle is at a fixed location (0,0), and has radius r.

20:56 <Cepheid> A fixed location with it's center at (0, 0) that is.

20:59 <Cepheid> Best I can manage at the moment is three multiplies and an add.  Check if (x * x) + (y * y) is less-than-or-equal-to (r * r).  I can remove the multiply on the radius by precalculating it before executing the shader, but those multiplies for x and y remain.

21:03 <Schism> It has been a long five days.

21:07 <Finwe> Miss Schism.

21:07 * Finwe doffs his hat.

21:07 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

21:07 <Finwe> Oh, I need to fix my expression.

21:07 <Finwe> There was a factor n missing.

21:07 * Schism doffs her fish and chips.

21:10 <Finwe> The area of a sector is 2π/n * r^2, the area of a central triangle is 1/2 * r^2 * sin(2π/n), the area of one segment is the difference of these, there are n such segments, so multiply by n, and divide by πr^2 to find the fraction of the circle not covered by the polygon.

21:11 <Schism> Cepheid: At random, for no reason, https://ozyandmillie.org/comic/ozy-and-millie-1277/

21:11 <Cepheid> Hah.

21:11 <Finwe> Then the fraction is given as 1- n/2π * sin(2π/n), which is smaller than 0.01 if n > 198.

21:37 * Dapper_Dappled learned that Netflix is currently making Redwall content... this is pleasing tome and I must has it.

21:38 <LibrarianofHope> im gettin mexican jojos

21:38 <LibrarianofHope> netflix is dubbing jojo with mexican/latin voices

21:42 * Ali replaces herself with Dapper_Dappled!

21:45 <LibrarianofHope> that is cute owo

21:46 <LibrarianofHope> also aparrently Luna has darkish purple skin?

21:49 * LibrarianofHope bothers Ali a bunch

21:49 <LibrarianofHope> gimme atention

21:49 * Ali whines alot

21:50 <Cepheid> $50 says there's people ******* about Luna being slightly dark-skinned.

21:50 <LibrarianofHope> she is purpple skinned

21:50 <LibrarianofHope> but yes

21:50 <LibrarianofHope> point stands

21:51 <LibrarianofHope> if all the mini painting ive done has taught me anything is color owo

21:51 * Dapper_Dappled declares Celestia to be best horse.

21:52 <LibrarianofHope> nuuu

21:52 <LibrarianofHope> luna

21:52 <LibrarianofHope> actually ali best horse

21:52 * Dapper_Dappled points out that Celestia is taller.

21:52 <LibrarianofHope> Ali is cuter

21:52 <Cepheid> Normally, I'd say I can't see her being dark-skinned because she represents night, when the sun isn't up.  Therefore, I'd expect her to be pale in colour.  Buuuut if one considers that she's the personification of the moon, and the moon gets far more time in the sunlight than in the shadow of the Earth, then she'd have a pretty dark complexion due to all the sunlight.

21:52 * Ali paints Celestia pink. Cause that's the right color for her right?

21:53 * Dapper_Dappled le gasps

21:56 <Cepheid> Given that Celestia represents the sun, white is, ironically, the best colour for her, physics-wise.  That said, if we're talking physics, then you'd also want suntan lotion on around her.

21:56 <Cepheid> As she'd emit other forms of light that are harmful to people.

21:57 <Schism> I like to think those harmful lights are all encapsulated in that nebulous mane.

21:57 <Cepheid> She'd also emit other particles unrelated to light that are troublesome.

21:58 <Cepheid> Long story short, stay away from Celestia.

21:58 * Dapper_Dappled won't!

21:58 * Cepheid x-rays Dapper_Dappled, and finds numerous masses of material growing inside them.

21:58 <Dapper_Dappled> Worth it.

21:58 <Cepheid> You've been irradiated a bit much.

22:00 * Schism meanwhile decides to add a new game to her Switch for now. No, not MH:Rise, that'll come quite soon.

22:00 <Cepheid> What game?

22:00 <Schism> Mario 3D World w/ Bowser's Fury.

22:01 * Dapper_Dappled is going to try and beat Mystery Dungeon DX.

22:01 <Cepheid> I won't be able to get that.  It's a choice between getting that, or Rise, and I'd rather go with Rise.

22:01 <Schism> Mmm.

22:02 <Schism> The 3D All-Stars, meanwhile, is totally pointless.  I own SM64, I own Sunshine, and Galaxy ain't worth $80.

22:02 <Schism> But everything I've heard says that this one is worthwhile.

22:02 <Dapper_Dappled> If I get that on the switch, I'll wait for it to show up on in a used game section.Otherwise, emulator and rom~

22:03 * Dapper_Dappled despises artificial scarcity.

22:04 <Schism> FOMO, at least.
