00:00 * Cepheid gets back to finishing optionals for MH:World.
00:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Pony Collection Event 2021 - Halfway Point Warning! [ https://tinyurl.com/yexlow3m ]
00:11 <Schism> A sweet moment. *teary smile* https://ozyandmillie.org/comic/ozy-and-millie-1756/
00:14 <Cepheid> Looks like I got a pretty good head start on my goal.
00:14 <Cepheid> I completed M1*, and most of M2*.
00:14 <Schism> I'll probably be playing at least a few hunts tonight. But I'm of the sort who likes to do them slow and savour them.
00:14 <Cepheid> Heh. I just want to complete all the optionals and see what the reward is for that, besides a coloured name.
00:14 * Schism mms. o3o
00:15 <Cepheid> At this point it's more just "Something to do"
00:15 <Cepheid> Since I'm more or less "ready" for Rise now.
00:16 <Schism> Heh. https://ozyandmillie.org/comic/ozy-and-millie-1767/ --
00:16 <Schism> That's the first part of the joke.
00:16 <Cepheid> I got my Fatalis armor, fully upgraded. I got my Alatreon weapons which have insane sharpness and basically become the default weapons.
00:16 * Schism nodnods.
00:16 <Cepheid> Geezus.
00:16 <Cepheid> I completed most of the optionals up to M4*.
00:17 <Schism> o.o
00:17 <Cepheid> Outside of the special arenas.
00:17 <Cepheid> ... M5*.
00:17 <Schism> Hah.
00:17 <Cepheid> M6* is mostly incomplete.
00:17 <Schism> Also, Cepheid, here's the second half of the pun. https://ozyandmillie.org/comic/ozy-and-millie-1790/
00:17 <Cepheid> ...
00:17 <Cepheid> Oh god OW.
00:17 <Schism> And then the next comic.
00:17 <Cepheid> Tigrex and Radobaan in Rotten Vale. Hmm.
00:18 <Cepheid> SnS it is.
00:18 <Schism> Ouch. Sometime I'll branch out to more weapons.
00:19 <Schism> Cepheid: one more. https://ozyandmillie.org/comic/ozy-and-millie-1798/
00:19 <Cepheid> Gah.
00:20 <Cepheid> The benefit of this armor I like most is, ironically, not all the slots.
00:20 <Cepheid> I like the +100 health, +100 stamina.
00:20 <Schism> It's also a good looking set.
00:22 <Schism> It's a night where I just want to kind of futz around.
00:27 <Finwe> o3o
00:32 <Finwe> Does anypony need Deadlight: Director's Cut?
00:32 <Finwe> GOG lets me gift one copy to someone.
00:33 * Finwe hats on Ali.
00:37 * ArturaBlackthorne yawns fro ma nap.
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, my perissodactyls of minute stature.
00:42 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, the quest board doesn't list a category as "complete" unless *ALL* quests, including special arena, are complete.
00:47 * Dapper_Dappled reinstalls in Gen Ultimate
00:48 <Schism> What the HELL, Deviljho?!
00:49 <Schism> Flee from the bastard, set up a shock trap so that when I finally get back to Azure Rathian in this quest, I'll have it down. Deviljho comes behind me while I'm preparing tranq bombs and tailswipes me into oblivion.
00:51 <Schism> Ah well. As with many failures, this was my own fault. Onwards again.
00:58 <Cepheid> Yeh, Deviljho is like that.
00:58 <Cepheid> He's surprisingly stealthy for such a large side.
00:58 <Cepheid> All invasive monsters seem like that. Even the B-52 Bomber is surprisingly stealthy.
01:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Say Something Nice About Thunderlane [ https://tinyurl.com/yzf2j8ca ]
01:10 <Schism> Eh, some fairly decent Rathian and Rathalos stuff there.
01:11 <Schism> I'm still building up HR stuff, and yes, I know.
01:11 <Schism> (Just want to clear these quests.)
01:14 <Cepheid> "The other one should be weak, I've been fighting it from the start." *Player proceeds to trap and cap it.* "... I didn't think it was THAT weak."
01:15 <Cepheid> That completes all the non-arena quests in M4*..
01:15 <Cepheid> M5* has only one quest to complete: Kill a Savage Deviljho.
01:16 <Schism> (#$& it. I'm not going to get a night to myself. My brother's being a headache, so I'm just going to go to bed now.

01:33 <Schism> Gee, I didn't realize it was 2001.

01:34 * ArturaBlackthorne figured changeling.
01:34 <ArturaBlackthorne> Schism is a neat name. Not following the insect anatomy theme the usually have.
01:35 <Schism> You mean like Kevin?

04:45 <Cepheid> How goes it?
04:45 <ConfusionRift> Just got back from work. Tiiired.
04:46 <Cepheid> Oof.
04:49 * ArturaBlackthorne is thankful her job is finally tarting to slow down and she's starting to see weekends off again.
04:50 <ArturaBlackthorne> I miss the 'big' (comparatively) money I was making.
04:50 * ConfusionRift NEVER gets weekends off, and never will. Also, everyone just got both their tax refund AND stimulus check.
04:51 * Cepheid hums. 4 more days.
04:52 <ConfusionRift> So today was bad, and tomorrow will be just as. (sighs) Just gonna wind down, otherwise I'll faint.
05:00 <ConfusionRift> In any case... how are things?
05:03 <Cepheid> Working on designing an input binding system for game project.
05:04 <Cepheid> Otherwise, I just want to lay down.

05:18 <ArturaBlackthorne> What do you do, confusion?

05:20 <ArturaBlackthorne> We make oven racks and grills for AC condensors.

05:44 * ConfusionRift patpats ArturaBlackthorne.
05:44 * ArturaBlackthorne smiles tiredly.
06:01 <Cepheid> This is a hopeless effort. I can't sleep with my lungs this way.
06:02 <Cepheid> I was supposed to go get an x-ray done of my chest. That was three weeks ago, it hasn't happened because family problems keep cropping up EVERY FREAKIN PERIOD MY PARENTS ARE FREE.
06:03 <ConfusionRift> One of the reasons why I haven't been able to do much.
06:05 <Cepheid> First week, I was supposed to go on a wednesday. But then my grandmother called home having a panic attack over her blood sugar being a little high, forcing my mother to go to Cornwall for the rest of the week. My dad was busy every day, and couldn't take me. Then the weekend comes, and my dad goes to Cornwall both days to do skidooing.
06:05 <Cepheid> The next week, my mother comes home. But she's working all week, and she works nights, so she's asleep all day and can't bring me any of those days.
06:06 <Cepheid> Yeah, sure, I could take the bus. If my parents bloody would allow me to go outside.
06:06 <Cepheid> The following weekend, my grandmother's in the hospital, so my mother has to go back to Cornwall. Again.
06:06 <Cepheid> Then the next week, more of the same. Followed by my grandmother's in the hospital *AGAIN*.
06:08 <Cepheid> My grandmother's a hypochondriac.
06:08 <ConfusionRift> Ooh.
06:08 <Cepheid> So when something is out of whack even a slight bit, she panics and needs a hospital visit, or for my mother to go down.
06:08 <Cepheid> This weekend, my grandmother's acting like she's on her death bed.
06:09 <Cepheid> So my mother has to go down and take care of her.
06:09 <Cepheid> My dad's unavailable, because he had to go to Cornwall to fix up the skidoos and put them in storage.
06:09 <Cepheid> Also, I'm kind of waking up at 6 PM in the evening, well after most clinics close.
06:10 <Cepheid> At least, x-ray clinics.
06:12 <ConfusionRift> In our case, both grandmother and grandfather have been getting sick. Since my grandfather is very ol' timey, he can be hard to handle. My other aunt is always sick and on pills, so she has to be watched over. And we also had the case of one of them SOMEHOW catching the C19, causing everyone to fall on quarantine, and opening the most interesting and BS can of worms.
06:12 <Cepheid> Mmm.
06:12 <ConfusionRift> Let's say there's a reason why I don't interact with them much, especially now.
06:12 <Cepheid> I'm thinking of sneaking out of the house to go get that x-ray done.
06:13 <Cepheid> 'Cause it's been three weeks now, and I'd like to get it done before the requisition's useless, assuming it isn't already.
06:13 <ConfusionRift> I wouldn't advice it, but can't stop you.
06:14 <ConfusionRift> But if you do, please be careful and keep something on for communications.
06:15 <Cepheid> I'll have my phone, and I have a ton of face masks available.
06:16 <Cepheid> It's just, this is starting to get to me, there's something wrong with my chest, and it's not being taken care of because of delays.
06:16 <Cepheid> I lay down on my back or side, and all I hear when I breathe is whistling, crackling, and I feel like my throat is closing up on me, along with something fluid moving around.
06:16 <ConfusionRift> ...
06:17 <ConfusionRift> That sounds like bronchitis.
06:17 <ConfusionRift> Or a form of fluid excess.
06:18 <ConfusionRift> Have you been coughing?
06:18 <Cepheid> Like you wouldn't believe.
06:18 <ConfusionRift> Any strange mucus, or blood?
06:18 <Cepheid> No blood, just the usual crap coming up.
06:19 <Cepheid> I don't have asthma, either.
06:20 <ConfusionRift> This "crap" is not tarry or black, is it?
06:20 <Cepheid> Nope.
06:21 <ConfusionRift> Good. Those are the usual tells of going past bronchitis and moving to pneumonia, which would be a BIG problem right now.
06:22 <ConfusionRift> Either way, it still sound like a form of bronchitis.
06:23 <Cepheid> It's known that I regularly come down with bronchitis or pneumonia. No idea why.
06:24 <Cepheid> I can think of some reasons why, but there's nothing I can do about them, because most of them involve convincing the parents to actually do something for me.
06:25 <Cepheid> Biggest item is that this house I live in, prior to me and my parents moving in, was rented out by a couple and their dog, who they basically just let shit and piss everywhere, and for whatever reason, didn't clean up. My guess is, there's all sorts of mold and other stuff left behind even after Minto cleaned it out before moving us in.
06:33 <ConfusionRift> Oh goodness, that sucks. Have been watching salvage/antique recovery and restoration videos to kinda cool down as of late. In this case, a historical armory caught fire and everything got foamed. Everything got let in the foam for 3 weeks, and the one in the video was requested to recover one of their older pieces. It's just rust and damage galore.
06:34 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Most cleaning companies aren't that thorough.
06:34 <ConfusionRift> Especially when on the cheap. There is likely something still around the house.
06:36 <Cepheid> Yerp.
06:36 <Cepheid> I was doing much better in the older place, but ye know.
06:36 <Cepheid> Someone from Minto had to cut out a chunk of a major support structure beam and condemn the place.

11:49 <Cepheid> I'd expect Spock to drink moonshine, just to forget all the crazy stuff Kirk has done.
11:50 <Finwe> "And if the pointy-ears says 'Fascinating', I'm going to punch him in the face."
11:51 <Schism> Cepheid: Vulcan amnestics. o3o
11:54 <Cepheid> Hell, I'd want to forget what Kirk does every day. I'd join in the amnestics consumption.
11:54 <Cepheid> "He did WHAT with the warp core?"
11:54 <Schism> Thus making every facepalm a new and enjoyable experience.
11:59 <Cepheid> So Schism.
11:59 <Cepheid> Did you know it takes less than 20 minutes to, from start to completion of a goal, eat a baby in Fallout 3?

17:11 * ArturaBlackthorne slumps.
17:11 * ArturaBlackthorne has been re-reading some side stories from the Winningverse and has forgotten how much she actually disliked the characters in it. And the world it's set in.
17:12 <Schism> I highly suggest Estee's Triptych-verse.
17:13 <Schism> There are some very funny stories therein, though there's also loads of dark comedy.
17:13 <Schism> And some very, very dark moments in general.
17:20 * Schism randomly offers ADragonDreaming some of these jalapeno poppers. o3o
17:34 * ArturaBlackthorne has had different complaints about Triptych.
17:35 * ArturaBlackthorne admits she has had a love hate relationship with all the big long runner stories.
17:35 <ArturaBlackthorne> Winningverse, Triptych, Rites of Ascension, Myths abnd Birthrites.
17:36 <ArturaBlackthorne> I love the world building, but all four of them have this idea that since we love the characters in the show, we'll love their version of them. It's something a lot of writers have trouble with.
17:36 <ArturaBlackthorne> I have trouble with obnoxious and arrogant characters.
17:37 <ArturaBlackthorne> Twilight and Luna seem to be the biggest magnets for being written this way.
17:39 * ArturaBlackthorne admits it's a difficult balance to write something more serious with the show's setting.
17:39 <ArturaBlackthorne> I think a lot of people (including many of the later show writers) miss what makes these characters likeable.
17:41 <ArturaBlackthorne> Or what's any given character likeable.
17:41 <ArturaBlackthorne> Skywriter was good at this. So were Georg and Ghost of Heraclitus.
17:42 <ArturaBlackthorne> *or what makes any given character

21:03 * ArturaBlackthorne apologizes to Finwe, she was already gone to work.
21:06 * Schism returns from her own day at work. "Bwurf. HOW DO I MANAGE THIS? Everyone's like, 'Sure, give her all the de-escalations and callbacks, she's like a freaking Jedi Knight.' And then I manage it."
21:08 * ArturaBlackthorne hasn't been feeling well, and just went home.
21:09 <ADragonDreaming> Start not managing it.
21:09 <ADragonDreaming> Only manage a portion of it.
21:10 <Schism> Meh. If I'm good at it, somehow, I'd rather just be known as the person who can talk an angry customer down and make them at least not go away angry 95% of the time.
21:10 <Schism> There's always going to be that 1 in 20 roll where they'll never, ever, ever be happy.
21:13 * Schism confirms a LifeLabs appointment, as she's fine with the standard E/T testing a week and a bit from now.
21:15 * ArturaBlackthorne is feeling drained and a bit shaky. She needs to drop the soda habit again. She was doing good there, nearly clean a year, and then fell off the wagon.
21:16 <Schism> Time to start... a coffee habit!
21:16 <ArturaBlackthorne> Nah, no caffeine.
21:16 <Schism> Hm. Rooibos?
21:17 <ArturaBlackthorne> I don't miss what that did to me when I was sucking down a couple Dr. Peppers everyday.
21:17 <Schism> There are some very nice rooibos tisanes, and they're caffeine-free.
21:17 * ArturaBlackthorne was doing good with apple juice and water. She just needs to self discipline more.
21:18 <Schism> Maybe see about picking up some lemon juice and just adding a bit of that to water.
21:18 <Schism> Every now and again, I find water with a squirt of lemon does a bounty of good.
21:19 * ArturaBlackthorne will keep it in mind.
21:20 <Schism> I have also been known to stir a dollop of marmite into boiling water to make a nice, salty broth, but that's not for everyone.

21:21 <LibrarianofHope> been having a hectic day

21:21 <LibrarianofHope> its just monday
21:22 <LibrarianofHope> i am mostly over the severe burnout symptoms
21:22 <LibrarianofHope> i am an expert in fixing that

21:27 <Schism> OwO;
21:33 <ArturaBlackthorne> How old will you be?
21:35 <LibrarianofHope> 31
21:37 * ArturaBlackthorne nods.
21:37 * ArturaBlackthorne will be 34 in August.
21:37 <ArturaBlackthorne> God, another character whos age I am catching up to.
21:37 <ArturaBlackthorne> (Artura the character is 38)
21:38 <LibrarianofHope> The Librarian of Hope Character i made to be over a 100 owo
21:38 <LibrarianofHope> long story
21:38 * ArturaBlackthorne chuckles.
21:38 <ArturaBlackthorne> Artura is 34, Fertile Summer is 43.
21:39 <ArturaBlackthorne> *38 and 43
21:39 <ArturaBlackthorne> (they're married)

21:40 <ArturaBlackthorne> What's the story with LoH?

21:52 <ArturaBlackthorne> Heh, wow.
21:53 <ArturaBlackthorne> Did it sell well?
21:55 * ArturaBlackthorne only has a now removed F-List profile for Artura. She may put it back up. Not sure. Seems kind of pointless with the show being over and the fandom slowing.

22:40 * Lumindia_ is 29
22:40 * Schism is 34...!
22:40 <ArturaBlackthorne> How old is Ali, then?
22:40 * ArturaBlackthorne is also 34.
22:40 * Ali is still older than all of you ponos
22:40 * Ali old farts about
22:41 <ArturaBlackthorne> IRC seems to skew to an older audiance.
22:41 <ArturaBlackthorne> Low signal, but low noise.
22:41 * ArturaBlackthorne always likes meeting older pony fans.
22:42 <Cepheid> This is relatively accurate.
22:42 <Cepheid> IRC was the first form of Internet communication for me.
22:43 * Ali used AOL...
22:43 <LibrarianofHope> Ali Online
22:44 <LibrarianofHope> owo
22:44 * Schism headtilts. "One point I connected to BBS..."
22:44 <Schism> And of course, MUSHes and MUCKs before using IRC.
22:44 * ArturaBlackthorne notes she came kind of late to the world of comouting and the internet. her faily didn't get a PC until Like September or October of 1999, and got dial up a month later
22:46 <LibrarianofHope> my doggie is so cute
22:46 <LibrarianofHope> she does baby chcik sounds
22:48 <Cepheid> I was sort of late, myself.
22:48 <Cepheid> Only got into computers from around 9-10 years of age.
22:48 <Cepheid> IRC was around mm... 12-13?
22:49 * ArturaBlackthorne was 13 at the time, in 99
22:50 <Cepheid> No. IRC had to be sooner than that. I can't remember the exact time, I just only know that I snuck onto it without telling my parents because they advised me against chat rooms because people are arseholes and such.
22:50 * ArturaBlackthorne used to talk to someone who was around when IRC was relatively new, and they said people who just as into cybering 30 years ago as they are now.
22:52 <Cepheid> Sounds about right.
22:52 <Cepheid> Also not a topic appropriate for this channel.
22:52 <Ali> Eeyup
22:53 * ArturaBlackthorne understands, though she feels she was deliberately vauge enough about it.
22:55 <LibrarianofHope> ....
22:55 <LibrarianofHope> why is that bad?
22:56 * LibrarianofHope is confused, noms Ali on confusion
22:56 <Ali> Cause its a topic that is not ment for this channel
22:56 <Ali> And I understand you being vauge about it, but that might lead people to search the meaning.
22:56 * ArturaBlackthorne nods.
22:57 <LibrarianofHope> thing i got it
22:57 <LibrarianofHope> its about macaroni
22:57 * LibrarianofHope plops
23:00 * Cepheid watches a video about a moth vtuber revealing her true form. "... Good gods that's horrifying."
23:00 <Cepheid> Actual eldritch horror vtuber.
23:08 * Finwe noms on Ali.
23:31 <Schism> Oh, I am reaaaaaallly looking forward to the Court's response to Sydney Powell's motion to dismiss.
23:32 <ArturaBlackthorne> What does Sydney Powell still have going on?
23:33 <Schism> Her lawyers filed a motion to dismiss. Amongst other things, the motion both claims that no reasonable person could ever believe her lies, and that she herself believed her lies and so they're not libelous/slanderous.
23:33 <Schism> I mean, that's a defense.
23:35 <Schism> Other gems include, "This court brief is too long" and "We need to change the venue to Texas so that we can make our case based on Oklahoma law."
23:37 * ArturaBlackthorne thinks Her, Pillowman, Wood, and FLynn need to go back to their obscure corners.
23:37 * ArturaBlackthorne is more interested in the election audits, in AZ and elsewhere.
23:38 <ArturaBlackthorne> If anything interesting happens, it will be with that.
23:39 <Schism> Well, this is tangental thereto. But yes, that will also be interesting to see.
23:39 * ArturaBlackthorne is cautiously optimistic.
23:41 * Schism facepalms. "Telling outright and easily-disproven lies for political purposes does not mean that you're not lying, nor does it exempt you from slander and libel suits, nor does it help when you are brought before a convention with the title 'The President's Legal Counsel'..."
23:48 <LibrarianofHope> Ali
23:48 <LibrarianofHope> politics
23:48 * LibrarianofHope bonks schism
23:48 <LibrarianofHope> my political hot take

23:57 <Cepheid> Only one way to find out though.
23:58 <Schism> X4?
23:58 <Cepheid> Yerp.
23:58 * Schism mms.
