02:31 <ADragonDreaming> I've seen them once. I do not understand when they spawn.
02:31 * Schism just decides to spend 600z on the other two pieces of leather armour, so she has them.
02:33 <Schism> Izuchi stuff seems to be reasonable if I need fire resist, at least.
02:34 <Schism> Naturally, the next step is to head into the next zone. Bleh.
02:34 <Schism> For some reason, fire resistance up and water resistance DOWN appears to be a potential liability.

03:56 <Schism> I'm glad that I went with fire resist before facing Aksonom.
04:00 <Schism> Colour me unsurprised that it's the Aknosom armour which gives grand fire resist.
04:01 <Ali> Nah it'll give lightning resist instead
04:04 <Schism> Nah, it spits fireballs. o3o

04:27 <ADragonDreaming> Izuchi is an offensive set, with 3 levels of critical eye. Meanwhile, Arzuros is a defensive set.
04:27 <ADragonDreaming> With 2 levels of Defense Boost, it is automatically more defensive than izuchi.
04:38 <Schism> Ohai bone fragments 2.
04:38 <Schism> Er, bone hatchets 2.
04:39 <Schism> This still has the trade-off of sharpness vs. damage, of course.
04:40 <Schism> Item requirement: Warm Hide. ... "Stupid hunter's set."
04:41 <Schism> I'm sure I'll get a Remobra Hide, too. Not that I intend to use the set anyway for anything other than, you know, layered. But it's nice to start a game and start grabbing all the variants.
04:43 <Schism> Oh yeah, those jerks. Guess I'll need a bowgun to take them down, in a sensible fashion. That, or some flash bombs.

08:34 <ConfusionRift> Maybe... she wants to keep you company? (shrugs)

09:16 <Cepheid> Plus, some events scar cats into permanent behaviours. Ever since that one night where Spitfire was spooked, he has been skittish as hell.

09:30 <ConfusionRift> Yep, and careful. It ticks hard enough, and they can still explode.
09:30 <Cepheid> So far, 3 for 3 have fallen.
09:32 * ConfusionRift was reminded of the old de-sync issues, and just think of those vespoids minding their own business, and then falling flat for no reason. :P
09:33 <ConfusionRift> That reminds me of an old feature that I have not seen ever again.
09:35 <ConfusionRift> In MHF2, when it came to *prey monsters, it was possible to literally cut them in half when they leap in midair, if one does excessive damage to them when up-striking.
09:35 <ConfusionRift> Same with the *drones.
09:36 <ConfusionRift> I guess it was too violent.
09:36 <Cepheid> Yep. I remember that.
09:38 <Cepheid> Got mah wings. Enough parts to make the armor.
09:38 <Cepheid> Dev wasn't kidding when he said he reduced the number of parts needed to reduce the amount of grinding.
09:39 <Cepheid> Wonder what the tradeoff is though.
09:39 <ConfusionRift> That was the first thing I noticed in the "beginner's" video.
09:39 <ConfusionRift> I bet the guild hall quests are gonna the choke point.
09:40 <Cepheid> My experience is they are definitely more difficult.
09:41 * Filly_Nightmares sneezies and tugs on Ali nosie
09:41 <Cepheid> But yes. With the fewer parts required... I imagine the monsters are going to be harder to deal with. Especially in the free content updates. And when G-rank hits.

09:41 * ConfusionRift accepts guild quest, and as soon as he steps in, he gets grabbed by the neck by an Akantor. "Heh hehehe hehehaha HAHAAHAAAA! Welcome to Low Rank, HUNTER!!!"

09:42 * ConfusionRift sighs. "If that's the case..."
09:42 <Cepheid> He is at least fair about it though. So I am not expecting a World Alatreon.
09:43 <ConfusionRift> Don't be surprised if I drop the game at some point. Alas, haven't even formally started.

09:49 <Cepheid> Meh. Just difference in compulsion to play. Also I have more free time than you do.
09:50 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, I did kinda fell on running hiatus. And the S.O.S. thing makes me anxious.
09:52 * Schism carefully flashbombs a set of bugs, and then Palamutes them to death so that they don't explode.

10:18 * Cepheid checks to see what Rises' version of Spark of Blue sounds like.
10:18 <Cepheid> They did remixes of all the songs to fit the audio profile of Rise, which is traditional Asian musical instruments, more or less. And so, a lot of songs sound "different" now.
10:27 <Cepheid> I need music.
10:27 <Cepheid> I need epic music.
10:28 <Finwe> Start with Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D major.
10:29 <Finwe> Thereafter e.g. Sabaton's Lejonet från Norden.
10:30 <Finwe> Duel of Fates has also some characteristics of an epic piece of music.
10:33 <Finwe> Also, Thomas Tallis's Spem in alium from around 1570, considered by many to be the greatest piece of 1500's English music.
10:33 <Cepheid> ... Where have I heard Canon in D major before..? I know I've heard it from somewhere.
10:34 <Finwe> You probably have.
10:37 <Finwe> Finlandia and the 5th symphony of our local Jean Sibelius are also somewhat epic.
10:39 * Cepheid puts on Devil Trigger. Looking more for music that is combat-appropriate while being epic, heh.
10:39 <Cepheid> That, or good electroswing.
10:39 <Finwe> The Sabaton album Carolus Rex (preferably Swedish version) is very combat-oriented.
10:40 <Finwe> as it describes the rise and decline of the Swedish domination of the Baltic sea and the surrounding lands.
10:42 <Cepheid> I'll be happy when this pandemic is over, and we can start doing social stuff again, because I am seriously taking up martial arts.

10:59 <Cyan_Spark> Hi Finwe
11:01 * Finwe hugs a Cyan_Spark.
11:03 <Lumindia> So who's ever heard of a road called "Shades of Death Road"?
11:04 <Cepheid> I have not.
11:04 <Lumindia> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_Death_Road
11:04 <Lumindia> something of an urban legend in New Jersey
11:04 * Filly_Nightmares purrrs and nom nom nom Finwe warm!
11:04 * Finwe offers some fried flounder and mashed potatoes to Filly_Nightmares.
11:04 <Cepheid> What is it about?
11:05 * Cyan_Spark nuzzles gently
11:05 * Filly_Nightmares purrrrrr and nom nom nom nom nom food!
11:07 <Lumindia> wqell I did link the wikipedia page
11:08 <Cepheid> Ah, I missed it.
11:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2250 [ https://tinyurl.com/ydmdequu ]
11:10 <Cepheid> So, basically, an unusually-named street with no real idea as to why it was called that. Just a bunch of theories.
11:10 <Lumindia> yeah
11:11 <Lumindia> still fairly interesting with regards to local mythos
11:11 <Lumindia> always neat when you find one of those places
11:12 <Lumindia> Apparently they switched some of the street signs from horizontal to vertical because people kept stealing the signs
11:12 <Lumindia> vertical ones are harder to remove and are less desirable to display
11:14 <Finwe> Mr Lumindia.
11:14 * Finwe doffs his hat.
11:19 * Lumindia doffs Finwe
11:19 <Lumindia> o wo
11:23 * Finwe is doffed by a Lumindia.
11:23 <Finwe> o3o
11:27 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-ub7st0.tpgi.com.au)
11:33 <Cepheid> I don't see how that'd stop theft, Lumindia. People are pretty persistent if they want something
11:33 <Lumindia> I mean if someone REALLY wants a 'shades of death road' road sign, then yeah, it wouldn't stop them
11:36 <Lumindia> there's also a 'Foul Rift' Road that runs alongside a powerplant on the other side of the delaware river
11:37 <Lumindia> http://weirdnj.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Shades-Sign%C2%A9Steve-OByrne.jpg
11:37 <Lumindia> apparently that's the vertical roadsign
11:38 <Finwe> Mr 'Fang.
11:38 * Finwe doffs his hat.
11:51 * Filly_Nightmares yawnskreee at Lumindia and uses as nest!
11:51 * Lumindia engages soft mode
11:51 * Lumindia is super comfy to snuggle on
11:51 * Filly_Nightmares purrr and sprawls out on top of!

12:42 * Cepheid is making progress on assignment. Operation "Just do what feels right" is working.
12:43 <RazorSharpFang> Good to hear
13:04 <Cepheid> Worst case scenario, I don't finish it, but I still submit it and get a partial mark.
13:04 <RazorSharpFang> What did you say the protocol was? It was Open-something
13:06 <Cepheid> OpenMPI
13:06 <Cepheid> It's not a protocol, exactly. It's an API for interprocess communication. Only, the processes can exist across a network.
13:07 <Cepheid> If this were single-system IPC, it'd be easier.
13:07 <Cepheid> But since there's a network component to it, it's much harder.
13:08 <RazorSharpFang> OMPI, ORTE, OPAL - hmmm. So many acronyms.
13:15 <Finwe> The protocol is TCP/IP.
13:15 <Finwe> For communication between computers.
13:17 <Cepheid> Yes, yes.
13:17 <Cepheid> Do you ever get tired of being pedantic? :P
13:17 <RazorSharpFang> `we try very hard to not commit things that are broken`
13:18 <RazorSharpFang> Conversely, I commit broken things all the time.
13:19 <Cepheid> Sometimes I do, but I try to avoid it.
13:19 <Cepheid> I usually build and test before committing, but sometimes I do commit stuff that is "broken" because I want to be able to revert to that point.
13:25 <Cepheid> Bleh, stressing again. Meds time.
13:28 * Schism awakens, stretches, showers, makes a cup of tea, then runs out the door with an arrowroot biscuit in her mouth on the grounds that she needs to do bloodwork at 10.
13:40 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/mh242p/just_when_you_thought_it_was_safe_to_enjoy_some/
13:40 <Cepheid> Hell of an attack, that.
13:51 <Cepheid> Geezus hells, I got the communication working, I think.
14:01 <Finwe> o3o!
14:02 <Finwe> Schism: Remember that you're not supposed to eat anything before the blood sample is taken.
14:05 <RazorSharpFang> I think that's only for insulin tests
14:14 *** Joins: reborn (reborn@Pony-mdk0m2.my.id)
14:16 <Cepheid> Yeah, the paperwork will describe whether or not fasting is necessary.
14:20 <RazorSharpFang> I keep running into the problem that I lose the spidertron
14:25 <Cepheid> As in losing track of it's location, or losing it to combat?
14:25 <RazorSharpFang> Just its location
14:25 <RazorSharpFang> And whilst I may have the remote ON me, on the Nav Sat view I don't.
14:26 <RazorSharpFang> I can "create" one, but then it's unregistered.
14:26 <Cepheid> Ah.
14:43 <Schism> Endless waits for everything. Also, this wasn't a fasting test per se. Creatine, hormones, etc.
14:45 <Schism> When I'm like, "Hey... those shoes look familiar." https://twitter.com/paxiti/status/1376157179904806915/photo/1
14:46 <Cepheid> Okay, game of life implemented for single-threaded case.
14:47 <Schism> Ayyyyyy. https://twitter.com/inspiredrawAW/status/1376920357156704260
14:49 <Cepheid> Aaaand it doesn't work on the multi-process case.
14:50 * Schism blinks.
14:51 <Schism> Wow, that's quite the attack, Cephy.
14:51 <Cepheid> It's not sending data between the processes as expected.
14:54 <Cepheid> That's why. The getter for the data's not returning anything, so it's just sending blank, empty packets.
14:54 * Schism peers at the double-palico quest complete animation. "Daww."
14:56 * Finwe ponders whether to obtain front quarter of a lamb for mutton stew.
14:57 <Schism> Cepheid: https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/mgpz0s/i_just_wanted_to_capture_a_goss_harag/
14:58 * uni flops
14:58 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:58 <Cepheid> I have had that happen, yes.
15:06 * Schism provides uni a plush Palico.
15:07 <uni> oh my I googled what a Palico was and they're so adorable
15:07 * uni squees and hugs the plushie
15:07 <uni> they're like tiny little furry cat people
15:08 <Schism> Indeed they are. o3o The mascots of the Monster Hunter series, they follow you into battle, help out, and stymie monsters.
15:08 <uni> ooh~
15:08 <Schism> MH Rise also introduces... the Palamute.
15:08 <Finwe> Hmm, my mother was sent to early retirement.
15:09 <Finwe> She never really recovered from the stroke she got a few years ago.
15:10 * Schism hugs Finwe. "She doing all right other than that?"
15:10 <Finwe> Mostly, yes.
15:11 <Schism> Mmm.
15:11 * Cepheid sighs.
15:11 <Finwe> And you cannot have the anaesthesiologist just forget what she's supposed to do in the middle of an operation, because there is another person's life at stake, so it's for the best.
15:12 <Schism> Oh yeah, in those circumstances, no question.
15:12 <uni> yeah definitely
15:12 <uni> does she know what she is going to do now?
15:13 <Finwe> Well, she can spend more time with her dog now, at least.
15:14 <Finwe> Apart from that, I don't know, because of the pandemic, I haven't met her in a year.
15:15 <Cepheid> I can't do it. I can't finish this assignment. Not without much more time to think through a solution AGAIN for three weeks.
15:16 <Finwe> She's still 7 years from the standard retirement age, I think.
15:17 * Schism hugs the Cepheid. "Blerghl. Break time?"
15:18 <RazorSharpFang> Gosh dang it I can't get the spidertron to change its equipment remotely
15:21 <Cepheid> For once, I am stumped about an assignment.
15:21 <Cepheid> I'm just going to have to take the hit to my mark, and spend the next month working on it as practice for the final exam.
15:23 * Schism randomly provides Finwe with a slice of Kvæfjordkake.
15:24 <Finwe> Also known as verdens beste, or best of the world.
15:24 <Schism> Indeed. An ultra-indulgent sponge cake.
15:24 <Finwe> with meringue
15:24 <Schism> And of course rum and vanilla.
15:25 <Schism> Meringue and vanilla custard both.
15:26 * Finwe nodnods, has lived in Norway, so is familiar with that.
15:27 <Finwe> I would actually use the mutton in a dish called fårikål, which is a cabbage and mutton stew.
15:27 <Schism> A fine enough dish, simple and straightforward. Really, not too far off from the corned beef and cabbage stew, served with potatoes, of Irish make.
15:28 <Schism> Fewer spices, though, just the whole peppercorns.
15:30 <Cepheid> ...
15:30 <Cepheid> I can't do it.
15:37 <Cepheid> I'm going to submit what I have, and then I'm just going to start over and try again over the next few weeks.

15:45 <LibrarianofHope> burnout is inefficient

19:42 <Cepheid> Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock. The rabbit, she is late for a very important meeting. It is all for naught, however, for she cannot convey her true feelings in words. And so, chaotic battle breaks out.
19:54 <Schism> Hum. After I get that second submarine (seriously, game, why are you not giving me wisplanterns) I'll probably repeat some lower-level quests to build up a stock of tranq bombs or something like that.
19:54 <Schism> Yes, I know they become purchasable later.
19:57 <Cepheid> Early on, crafting is better than buying.
19:57 <Cepheid> 'Cause money is in short supply.
19:58 <Schism> Yeah. Though to be honest, I'm pretty much going to sell the 1800 piercing ammo I have for 3,600 zenny and keep on collecting it until I decide to putz about with ranged stuff.
19:59 <Schism> A little here, a little there: it adds up fast.

20:43 *** Joins: WildSoft (WildSoft@Pony-3dkuau.bredband.comhem.se)
20:44 <Cepheid> I got maybe one hunt left in me.
20:45 <Cepheid> I can help you hunt something in the hub, Schism. o3o
20:46 <LibrarianofHope> i always reach a point in mosnter hunter when i click off and drop it
20:46 <LibrarianofHope> but it is fun owo
20:46 <LibrarianofHope> i kinda wanna paint a dragon like a rathalos now owo
20:47 <Dappled> That's just a normal red dragon though.
20:47 <Dappled> Paint dragons like Mitzusune.
20:47 * Dappled loves the bubble fox.
20:48 <LibrarianofHope> https://www.instagram.com/p/CM7pSwfHz7r/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
20:48 <LibrarianofHope> technically a dragon i painted
20:49 <Dappled> Dragon?
20:49 <LibrarianofHope> yeah
20:49 <LibrarianofHope> the name is shard of the void dragon
20:49 <LibrarianofHope> so dragon
20:49 * Dappled sees that Games Workshop has no idea what a dragon is.
20:49 <Schism> Hmm. Great Baggi. I suspect... fire might be advantageous.
20:49 <LibrarianofHope> pure rule of cool name
20:50 <Cepheid> Yeah, fire helps Schism.
20:50 <Schism> COULD take down a few more Aknosom, then. And I guess I need malachite ore out the wazoo.
20:53 <Schism> Or because this is low-rank anyway, I could just tank him.
20:53 <Cepheid> Low rank village, no less.
21:05 <Schism> Yeah, that was about as easy and straightforward as a capture gets.
21:06 <Schism> Lagombi might be a bit tricky, but probably not.
21:08 <Cepheid> Not much more difficult that Arzy.
21:08 <Dappled> There. I now have 3 subs and enough buddies at level 15 to keep me rolling in the Honey.
21:08 <Schism> Yeah. They call it a rabbit, but I already took it halfway down last time while mounting Great Baggi.
21:09 * Schism decides to put some of her other minions through the Dojo.
21:10 <Schism> And it is so totally another bear.
21:14 *** Joins: Bubbles (EvaSh@Pony-24ddmg.cable.virginm.net)
21:21 <Schism> Yay! Palamute 10.
21:22 <Schism> Whew. Arzuros isn't exactly hard now. o3o Thankfully, its tells are pretty straightforward
21:23 <Schism> Dappled: Send a friend request? o3o;
21:23 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Comic: Indecent Blushes 5 / Stable Shorts 124-127 / Fix 4:13 / Friendship 37 / Singing Storm 15 / Romance 8 [ https://tinyurl.com/ygjhgncd ]
21:28 <Schism> Doesn't hurt to have as many buddies as possible in the dojo. o3o
21:37 <Dappled> Oh yeah.
21:37 <Dappled> Nick?
21:38 * Dappled 's got a cutscene but after that.
21:38 <Schism> Switch ID is SW-5982-5968-8181, nick is Theogrin, character name is Sedelyan.
21:39 <Schism> Mmm. That was fun - Lagombi was nice and easy to take down. And that concludes the 2* village quests.
21:39 <Schism> Though I'm certain I'll be redoing them.
21:41 <Schism> Hrm. Only 24 armour spheres.
21:42 <Dappled> Okay, Friend Request sent.
21:42 <Dappled> That said, I've got to get ready for work.
21:42 <Schism> Received and accepted. Dent, Mr. Dent, I take it?
21:42 <Dappled> Not why, but yes.
21:43 <Schism> In any event, I hope work goes well for you.
21:43 <Dappled> Just my name
21:43 * Schism nodnods.
21:44 <Schism> Oh, hello, Lagombi equipment. Why I don't mind if I do.
21:44 <Schism> An ice-element weapon should be useful at some point here. Probably against Diablos.
21:47 * Schism snags 10 more pitfall traps, for village points, because spiderwebs are a pain in the tailbone to get.
21:49 * Dappled 's most available for multiplayer on weekends barring what time I'm spending on Pathfinder and I often bring my roommate along for MH.
21:51 * Schism nodnods.
21:52 <Dappled> He does Dual Blades/Long Sword. I used to run SnS almost exclusively, but now I've switched to full time Hunting Horn.
21:54 * Dappled kinda wants to run a water hunting horn and find a way to hook up a KH2 soundboard to my moves.
21:54 <Dappled> Dance Water Dance!
21:58 <Apple_Jack> oh, Dappled
21:58 *** Apple_Jack is now known as Sunrise_Flare
21:58 <Sunrise_Flare> I fixed my computer
21:59 <Dappled> This is good news.
21:59 <Sunrise_Flare> so I can hunt monsters as soon as nintendo stops keeping the game hostage
21:59 <Sunrise_Flare> how is the game btw?
22:00 <Dappled> Is good. Feels shorter than I expected, but that may just be me comparing it to World after all the free updates/paid DLC.
22:02 <Dappled> There are some definite changes to get used to.
22:02 * Dappled likes the doggums.
22:04 <Schism> How have I not fought ANY Wroggi so far?!
22:11 <Schism> And then there are Meowcenaries. I'm going to spend MORE money on buddies, ain't I.
22:15 *** Quits: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-bka.p1l.147.189.IP) (Quit: Connection closed)
22:16 * Dappled 's just going to end up with the two he takes to battles and the rest are going to be on the Subs or Meowcenaries.
22:16 * Dappled 's happy he can afford Mega Potions again.
22:19 <Schism> o.o
22:19 <Schism> Why do you need to... afford mega potions... o.o
22:28 * Lumindia flops on Schism
22:31 <Sunrise_Flare> how many monsters are there to fight?
22:32 <Sunrise_Flare> because the thing is world was shorter than other mosnter hunter games
22:32 <Sunrise_Flare> so rise being even shorter worries me a bit
22:38 * Ali flops onto the Sunrise_Flare
22:46 <Sunrise_Flare> hoi
22:54 * Lumindia boops Ali muchly
22:58 <ADragonDreaming> Dappled: What do you mean "Shorter"
22:58 <ADragonDreaming> it released 5 days ago. Did you do nothing but play it?
22:58 <Schism> Mmm, Frost Islands subcamp 1 get.
22:58 <Schism> Those Zamites were a pain to find.
22:59 <Schism> Well, sorta.
23:00 <Schism> Hm, Lagombi armour nearly set, I just need...
23:00 * Schism facedesks. "A warm pelt."
23:00 <Schism> And an ear, but that's okay.
23:17 <Schism> Aw man, ONE flame sac from that takedown? Oh well.
23:18 <Schism> Also forgot that what I really need is malachite ore, I'm just doing everything I can in the first two areas BEFORE I do that. That's fine, though.
23:18 <Schism> The sheer amount of materials dropped still equals pure profit.
23:19 <Schism> Hum, another Lagombi takedown should work okay.
23:20 <Schism> (But wait, Schism. Why are you doing this the hard way?) (Because I've never played a Monster Hunter game at launch before, dear reader.)
23:21 <Sunrise_Flare> you want to know a secret?
23:22 <Sunrise_Flare> monster hunter at launch is the same game as monster hunter five years from now
23:22 <Schism> Yeah, but more recent games have released sets which allow players to catch up to the new stuff faster.
23:23 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: My Little Pony Speedpaint Compilation #182 [ https://tinyurl.com/yzg4cjno ]
23:24 <Schism> Okay. Nobody gets to complain about zenny in the early game anymore.
23:26 <Schism> Not when Izuchi pelts sell for 90z a pop and any responsible hunter will at least carve the smol monsters on a regular basis. I've just jumped to 10k and I haven't even been doing all that much in the way of 3*, and that's from materials I no longer have any use for.
23:28 <Schism> Make that 15k and change.
23:43 <Cepheid> Yeah, simply up and selling all the parts from a hunt is also a good way to make some quick cash, especially if you no longer need the parts.
23:45 *** Quits: uni (unicodingun@Pony-8k4.sjj.166.202.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
23:53 <Schism> Yeah, that pretty much does the trick. Just redid a 'kill the insects' 1* quest. I think it's 1* anyway.
23:53 <Schism> Bnahabra takedown. Poison bombs are sold, and they're beyond useful there.
23:54 <Schism> Okay fine game. I'll start doing 3* stuff.
23:57 <Cepheid> Well. Looks like I fixed up my sleep cycle finally.
