08:46 <ConfusionRift> Did too...

08:47 <ConfusionRift> Got back about an hour ago. Not very chaotic, but still had a lot to do, and very little time.

08:48 <RazorSharpFang> I was fixing a software problem that caused a "safety incident"

08:55 <ConfusionRift> I was doing the usual retail shenanigans, plus having to deal with the foolery of management continuously spreading everything too thing.

08:57 <RazorSharpFang> Ah classic foolery

10:44 <RazorSharpFang> Hey Cepheid, how you doing?

10:44 <Cepheid> It's early, so I'm doing good today.

10:45 <RazorSharpFang> I went to work on a public holiday, because there was a "Safety Incident" at the mine-site because of a software bug, so I was charged with fixing it.

10:45 <Cepheid> Yeah, you mentioned that the other day.

10:45 <RazorSharpFang> I'm very tired now, zzz

10:45 <Cepheid> Sleep well, then.

10:45 <RazorSharpFang> I'm not sleeping yet, it's not even 7 PM yet!

10:46 <Cepheid> Ah.

10:46 <RazorSharpFang> If I go to sleep now, I'll end up waking up at like, 4 AM.

10:46 * Cepheid went to sleep at 4 PM yesterday.

10:46 <RazorSharpFang> Also, the NYSE is trading today, I can't miss the market open.

10:46 <Cepheid> Mind, I've been feeling like garbage the last few days now.

10:47 <Cepheid> Today's the last day of the prednisone prescription, so hopefully the symptoms subside soon.

10:47 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, I see.

10:47 <RazorSharpFang> I'm glad that everything worked out today, the client's happy with the outcome, everyone's happy.

10:49 <RazorSharpFang> At the cost of my tiredness.

10:49 <ConfusionRift> Game... why are you telling me I can craft a weapon I can't craft?

10:51 <Cepheid> What game?

10:51 <Cepheid> Oh, MH.

10:51 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift, Rise is a bit funky.

10:52 <Cepheid> It'll say you can craft a weapon because when you select the weapon, you have the choice of upgrading to it or crafting it.  And it only shows one of the two recipes.

10:52 <Cepheid> It won't show the other unless you SELECT the option to do that recipe.

10:52 * Cepheid has to create 8 alien species, along with thematic elements, and some history. Whee.

10:53 <ConfusionRift> Eerm... issue is, I can only upgrade to it, so there's only one list. I'm missing a rather uncommon part, and yet the game alerts me that I can craft it.

10:54 <Cepheid> When I say select it, I mean press A on it.  It should bring up a menu to either craft or upgrade to it.  One of the two options must be viable, otherwise it won't show the green highlight.

10:54 <Cepheid> Otherwise, you've found a bug and should probably screenshot it, and poke Capcom about it.

10:57 * Cepheid makes one of the alien species cat people. Another is going to be bird people. Places them right next to one another on the map. o3o

11:02 <RazorSharpFang> All things considered, I'm quite happy with how today went. I was really nervous last night and had trouble sleeping (which is why I'm so tired today)

11:04 <Cepheid> Ah.

11:05 <Cepheid> Hopefully the incident wasn't anything too severe that harmed anyone.

11:12 <Cepheid> Hum.

11:14 * Cepheid plays Sakit's Theme, Giant's Rage, around ConfusionRift.

11:16 * Cepheid makes one of the alien species a mechaniloid ascendant species. Absolutely must have that, as she wants to design a giant mech boss.

11:16 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;

11:16 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, I'm fairly sure it was like: Remote-Control-Team: "Drill is in service-mode, cannot tram, go ahead" *drill trams* Ground-Team: "Uhh??? Drill is moving!" Remote-Control-Team: ?!?!

11:17 <Cepheid> Oh.

11:17 <Cepheid> So inconsistent state information.

11:17 <RazorSharpFang> Something like that, but it was more like, the service-mode button was pressed and did not go into service-mode as expected.

11:19 <Cepheid> Ah, fun, fun.

11:19 <Cepheid> In a dangerous way.

11:20 * Cepheid has basic ideas for 7 of 8 species. Just needs OOOOOOOOONE more.

11:20 <Cepheid> And then I can start working on the lore of each.

11:21 <Cepheid> I wonder how many of these will make it through to the end without drastic changes.

11:21 <Cepheid> The thing about games.  The basic story can be written up, same with lore, but things can change during development.

11:22 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)

11:22 <RazorSharpFang> "We started making a real-time tactical shooter, but ended up with a turn-based trading-card game. "

11:22 <Cepheid> Heh.

11:22 <Cepheid> Hmm.  That's an interesting idea I just thought up, heh.

11:23 <Cepheid> Dark area, a typical trope, but with a bit of a twist.  You can't see the enemies in the dark, obviously, but..

11:23 <RazorSharpFang> Can they see you?

11:24 <Cepheid> They have tapetum lucidums.  When you're able to see them, the light from your lantern reflects off of their eyes, and you can see their eyes in the dark.

11:24 <Cepheid> By "when you're able to see them" I mean that your light should be able to hit them from a distance.

11:24 <Cepheid> That is, you have line-of-sight, even if you can't directly see them because of the darkness in the distance.

11:30 * Cepheid makes the last species something disgusting for the heck of it.

11:30 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, just like the cats' eyes in the dark thing

11:31 <RazorSharpFang> That does sound pretty neat. You could see little glowing eyes but only if you're shining the light in that particular direction-ish

11:31 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

11:32 <Cepheid> I kind of plan to allow for players to be able to traverse much of the game world without actually killing any bosses.  They just need to find the right gear, or use the right movement techniques to get around.

11:32 <Cepheid> The only thing that the bosses need to die for is to unlock the gateway to the final boss.

11:33 * Schism reverse wall-jumps and wall-kicks her way to Pandora.

11:33 <Cepheid> Exactly.

11:33 <Cepheid> I plan to have that kind of stuff. :P

11:33 <Schism> Er, not Pandora.  Lilith.  :p

11:33 <Cepheid> Still.

11:33 <Cepheid> I liked that idea of Rabi-Ribi.  I'm stealing it. :P

11:34 * Schism noms a big bowl of shredded wheat. Also, a cup of coffee.

11:34 <Cepheid> ... Though it's not like Rabi-Ribi hasn't stolen it from another game.  The first game series I really remember that allowed doing that kind of stuff would be the Metroid series.

11:34 <Cepheid> Especially Metroid Fusion.

11:34 <Cepheid> With the Shinespark.

11:34 <Cepheid> Using an ability in an arcane manner to get to a specific point.

11:35 * Schism nods, "Though even Super Metroid has the Reverse Boss Order runs."

11:35 <Cepheid> There's that too, yeh.

11:36 <Cepheid> I'm now wondering if I should set up some sort of difficulty-enhancer if you do a certain out-of-ourder sequence.

11:36 <Cepheid> Er, out-of-order*

11:36 <ConfusionRift> Oooooh, I figured what happened. Aside from the items list for forging and upgrading, there are also the material types needed for said upgrade, which the game alerts you of as well.

11:37 <Cepheid> Oh, that, yeah.  The material types stuff.

11:37 <Cepheid> From GU.

11:37 * ConfusionRift didn't play GU.

11:37 <Cepheid> The "Need X material points" originated from Generations/Generations U/X/XX.

11:38 * Cepheid decides that there will be a way to fight the final boss of her game without killing the eight boss guardians.

11:38 <Cepheid> In doing so, you face a superboss variant of the final boss.

11:41 <Cepheid> Of course, at some point I'll have to create the trigger for this.

11:41 <Cepheid> I have to make it something explicitly difficult to trigger accidentally.

11:42 <Cepheid> 'Cause I'd hate to get bug reports of a super-powered boss that players can't kill.  Alternatively, it's just straight up accessible from the start, and just becomes weaker from each guardian boss killed.

11:42 <Schism> The latter might be a good choice.  Kinda like that one (series of?) bosses from Etrian Odyssey.

11:44 <Cepheid> Officially, the idea would work.  As I intend to have the guardian bosses and the final boss be one and the same.  The guardian bosses are actually manifestations of a fragment of the final boss' power.  Kill one, that's one fragment of that power less for the final boss to use.

11:45 <Cepheid> Though, how exactly it'll weaken the boss, I haven't decided.

11:46 <Cepheid> Perhaps weaker versions of attacks the guardians use, plus weaker defensive abilities.

11:46 <Schism> General reduction in HP and moves which are slightly over-the-top, I'd think, yeah.

11:47 <Cepheid> I could always do like the limiter-removed Gabriel from Star Ocean 2.

11:47 <Cepheid> For the full-power version that is.

11:47 <Cepheid> In that game's case, if you remove the limiter, the final boss gains a lot more health, and 99% of it's attacks are instant-death.

11:48 <Cepheid> The only way to kill it at that point is basically stunlock.

11:51 <Schism> Bleh.  Yeah, the bags under the eyes basically complete this image of me.  https://picrew.me/share?cd=szCy2mV3mX

11:51 <Cepheid> Heh.

11:51 <Cepheid> I'd have dark purple bags under my eyes all the time.

11:51 <Cepheid> Regardless of how I'm doing.

11:52 <Cepheid> But yeh.  Gabriel without his limiter.  Funky battle, that.  First off, he moves so fast that catching up to him even with the bunny slippers equipped is impossible.  All of his attacks do insane damage.  Some of them do 9999 damage regardless of your gear.  And he has several million HP.

11:53 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGQFBewNNjo

11:53 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

11:53 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Bevor Sie zu YouTube weitergehen

11:53 <Cepheid> Note, this is the final boss of the game, so if you plan to play Star Ocean 2, don't watch. o3o

11:55 <Cepheid> Man, that PSP emulator needs some work.  Sound distortion out the wazoo.

12:03 <Cepheid> While fighting the final boss of my game is possible without killing other bosses, it'll still require the player to find a way to it in the first place.

12:04 <Cepheid> Hmm.

12:14 <Cepheid> You know, some people over-extend stuff on youtube.  The LM2 OST extended is 10-hour segments.  I can't imagine how long it took to upload that.

12:15 <TormentedDragon> remember when youtube had a 10 minute limit on video uploads?

12:16 <ConfusionRift> Well, it's limited to 15 minutes to non-associated accounts still.

12:20 * RazorSharpFang uploads Shrek in 15-minutes

12:20 <RazorSharpFang> That is, Shrek the movie compressed into 15 minutes.

12:20 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:27 * Cepheid throws ConfusionRift at Tiamat.

12:28 <ConfusionRift> Big lady. (hears the laser charge) Big lady death laser!!!

12:29 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)

12:29 <Cepheid> So, I'm curious about the logic of a name choice for a species of anteater.

12:29 <Cepheid> Why did we name it after a monster that was described as half-human woman, and half-monstrous snake?

12:30 <Cepheid> Wouldn't "Echidna" have been a better name for a species of snake?

12:31 * ConfusionRift is a bit confused.

12:32 <Cepheid> Thinking about Tiamat caused my brain to sidetrack to the relevant boss in LM2, Echidna.

12:32 <Cepheid> Who I then researched the name of.

12:32 <Cepheid> Echidna is a Greek monster, described as half-human woman, and half-monstrous snake.

12:32 * ConfusionRift nods.

12:32 <Cepheid> And yet, we named a species of non-snake after her.

12:33 <Cepheid> Then again, she gave birth supposedly to a bunch of other monsters, none of which look like snakes, so..

12:33 <Cepheid> Also, looking at the list of monsters she gave birth to, it now explains all the subbosses of her region in LM2.

12:33 <ConfusionRift> Remember, whomever finds them, names them. So, might not even be associated and be just coincidence.

12:34 * ConfusionRift checks. "Never mind..."

12:34 <ConfusionRift> You're right. That makes noooo sense.

12:34 <Cepheid> Orthrus, Cerberus, Lernaean Hydra, Chimera, Sphinx, Nemean Lion, Caucasian Eagle, Ladon, Crommyonian Crow, Gorgon, Colchian Dragon and Scylla.

12:34 <Cepheid> Some of those were used as minibosses in that place.

12:35 <ConfusionRift> Which also correspond to Greek mythology.

12:36 <Cepheid> Mmm.

12:36 <Cepheid> Even though the overall theme for LM2 was Norse Mythology.

12:37 <TormentedDragon> https://www.macquariedictionary.com.au/blog/article/607/

12:38 <Cepheid> Ah.

12:38 <TormentedDragon> "French naturalist Baron Georges Cuvier proposed the name echidna to reflect the animal’s possession of both mammalian and reptilian characteristics, likening it to the woman/serpent nature of the Greek mythological creature, Echidna."

12:38 <Cepheid> Hey ADra.  How you doing?

12:38 <TormentedDragon> I'm doing alright. Wasting time before work starts.

12:39 <Cepheid> I'm trying to keep busy myself.

17:25 <Schism> Amazon quality notice: "This character is defined by they/them/theirs instead of he/his/etc."  Uh.  Well yes.  ._.

18:06 * Cepheid loads up LM.

18:11 <Cepheid> Hum, let's get the silver shield.

18:18 <Cepheid> Thanks, game.  I really didn't mean to press down there and do nothing.

18:29 *** Joins: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-bka.p1l.147.189.IP)

18:31 <Cepheid> THERE.  Tiamat down.

18:31 <Cepheid> With the axe.

18:31 <Cepheid> Er, Bahamut*

18:48 <Cepheid> Aaaand I'm lost.  I can't recall where to go from here.

18:55 <Cepheid> Oh.  Hmm.

18:57 <Cepheid> Hmm.  No.  That won't work.  I need the Twins statue to properly explore that region.

19:10 <Cepheid> The simple reality is I need the birth seal to continue, but I don't know where that is.

19:19 <Schism> Ali: Eh?  What do you mean trend?  Nonbinary characters often go by different pronouns, but this has been a thing for much longer than I've been alive.

19:20 <Schism> Cepheid: Well, you just beat Bahamut...

19:20 <Cepheid> Yeah I looked it up, and it's exactly where I thought it was.  But I missed my chance to get it due to the danged eagle, and I kept telling myself it wasn't anything, so.

19:20 <Schism> Helps to remember that each of the seals requires the former seal to unlock.

19:21 <Schism> So if you see a seal, it's almost always something important.

19:21 <Cepheid> Well, not just that, I also assumed I COULDN'T get it, without the feather.

19:21 <LibrarianofHope> as a writer a nonbinary character would give me an initial headache owo

19:21 <Schism> Oh right.  X3

19:21 <Schism> That damned eagle.

19:21 <LibrarianofHope> cause she said he said and stuff

19:21 * LibrarianofHope glomps ali

19:22 * Schism had for a long time a character or two with shi/hir pronouns.

19:22 <LibrarianofHope> they is easier

19:23 <LibrarianofHope> its more of a habit thing, once in the creation trance you just use the things you are used too

19:23 <LibrarianofHope> its not that much of an issue at any rate

19:23 * Cepheid gets the birth seal on the second try with that danged eagle nearby.

19:23 <Schism> Bloomburg: "Is Britain really the world's least racist country?"  Me: "..."

19:24 <LibrarianofHope> and i run a species which is inherently nonbinary

19:25 <Schism> Cepheid: the Katana is helpful for that thing, but then, well, I guess you probably haven't done a whole ton in the Twin Labyrinths yet.

19:25 <Cepheid> You need the Twin Statues to make the most of the Twin Labyrinths.

19:27 <Cepheid> Mulbruk, book of the dead, gimme.

19:28 <Schism> At least once you have the feather you should be able to get that tasty, tasty Eden Fruit.

19:28 <Schism> Well, more readily anyway.

19:28 * Schism flumps, and runs back to the last hour and a half of her shift. "I am _UTTERLY_ out of [yay] to give."

19:30 <Cepheid> Feather... featherfeatherfeatherfeatherfeather!

19:31 <Cepheid> Double jump.  The move that makes any metroidvania game.

19:34 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: General Warning: The First Half of Season 2 of Pony Life Has Leaked [ https://tinyurl.com/ygophcew ]

19:38 <LibrarianofHope> could  actually call something metroidvania?

21:24 <Schism> "We are currently experiencing super-ultra-high call volumes."  Yes, that's because for the last three days about 33% of our staff have called in sick.  "Therefore, we're extending everyone's shifts by a half hour until further notice."

21:25 <Schism> Oh, do go on, TPTB, make it a full 3/4 hour.  Let's go back to those winter shifts where we had to reset the VPN halfway through.

21:26 * Schism sighs. "Oh well. I think tonight I'll do laundry and poke Breath of the Wild."

21:30 * Schism supposes that Filly_Nightmares doesn't want any of these chocolate cranberry oatmeal cooki.

21:31 <Cepheid> My lungs feel crappy today.

21:33 <Schism> It's a wet, chilly day.

21:35 <Cepheid> Interestingly, my x-ray came back negative.  No signs of any problems in my chest.  So whatever is causing the breathing issues either doesn't show on x-rays, or isn't in my lungs.

21:49 <Schism> Hrmm.  Could be esophagal.

21:50 <Schism> Might be in your diaphragm.

21:51 <Schism> ... oh right, I was going to cook up some materials to get heat resistance.

21:51 <Schism> Er, cold resistance.

22:04 * Filly_Nightmares murr and noses into Schism warms and nom nom nom belly and cookie!
