00:00 <LibrarianofHope> wh voiced discord?
00:00 * Cepheid thinks of Maud and suffers amnesia.
00:01 <Schism> Discord? Why, that is the inestimable John de Lancie, who also played the character 'Q' in Star Trek.
00:02 <Schism> At least, in The Next Generation and Deep Space 9 -- the 'Q' are beings of chaos and aentropy.
00:02 <Schism> He was simply the face presented to the human civilization.
00:02 <Schism> Cepheid: Welp, time to explore the Abyss once again.
00:03 <Cepheid> Oh?
00:03 <Schism> Of course. You have to map it, right?
00:03 <Schism> ("As you think of Maud, your mind turns inwards...")
00:05 * Cepheid descends into the Abyss. Becomes horribly deformed monster.
00:05 * Schism takes a look at her last pill of cyproterone for this month. "Well, might as well crack this pill." She manages to separate it into halves. Quarters... not so much. "Oh well. It'll even out."

00:16 <Finwe> The Unigine Heaven Benchmark score rose from 405 to 2450 with newer GPU.
00:17 <Finwe> This one also generates quite a lot more heat than the old one.
00:17 <Cepheid> What GPU?
00:17 <Finwe> Hawaii XT
00:18 <Cepheid> Ah.
00:18 <Finwe> on ASUS R9 290X Matrix Platinum
00:32 <Finwe> There, let Steam download while I sleep.
00:33 <Finwe> !lullaby
00:33 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed
00:33 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby
00:33 <Finwe> !shoo
00:33 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"
00:33 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
00:34 * Finwe curls up on Ali using Filly_Nightmares as a blanket and snoozes.
00:35 <Schism> Rest well.
00:35 * Schism contemplates making up the lasagna she picked up. Or doing something else.
00:36 <Finwe> God rest ye merry, gentlemen.
00:36 * Schism is gentlewoman, but still snugs the Finwe.
00:38 <Finwe> Sirs and genlewomen, then.
00:39 <Schism> Or 'ladies and germs'. o3o
00:39 <Finwe> Bacteria!
00:39 <Finwe> You might not see them, but they're there!
00:42 <Schism> Lasagna tonight it is.
00:42 <Finwe> Lasagne is alright, although not among my favourites.
00:43 <Finwe> Pasta al forno, on the other hoof, is delicious.
00:45 <Schism> Ah, of course, rigatoni with tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil, and beef. A fine casserole.
00:46 <Schism> With of course whatever other ingredients you see fit to add.

11:04 * Cepheid flops in.
11:05 <ConfusionRift> Hallooo.
11:10 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift.
11:10 <Finwe> o7
11:10 <Finwe> NitroTheFurry has conceivable difficulties making up his mind on whether to stay or not. :/
11:10 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
11:12 <Cepheid> How goes it?
11:14 <ConfusionRift> Just chillin', not doing much.
11:15 <Cepheid> I just woke up, myself. I forgot to turn off the alarm I set for yesterday. o3o
11:16 <Finwe> Happens to me all the time.
11:16 <Finwe> Especially when there are changes to my schedule.
11:17 <Finwe> The normal state of things would be alarm at 8 AM on weekdays and 9 AM on weekend.
11:17 <ConfusionRift> Had that happen before. But what happened very recently was that I forgot to set an alarm, and only had half an hour before the shift, so I had to dress and dash fast.
11:20 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2259 [ https://tinyurl.com/ydpsd7tp ]
11:21 * Cepheid cracks right wrist repeatedly for nearly 3 minutes straight.
11:22 <Cepheid> This wrist will never stop cracking or popping EVER!
11:23 <Schism> "You don't have to buy all the diet vanilla Coke." "Every word in that sentence was in English, but when you string them together like that, they don't make any sense."
11:24 <Cepheid> You don't have to buy diet vanilla Coke in the first place.
11:24 <Schism> ( I don't understand. )
11:25 <ConfusionRift> "You don't have to buy ammo at the shop." | Mhmm. (buys) | "You can just make it, using the crafting menu!" | Of course! (buys) | "Are you listening?!" | Uh-huh. (buys) Aaaand I'm broke. | "..." | I'm sorry, were you saying something?
11:26 <ConfusionRift> That's an old MHFU habit. Ammo was a pain to make... and it kinda emerged again.
11:27 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, was gonna ask. Are *drinks... gone?
11:31 <Cepheid> From what I can tell, yeh.
11:31 <Cepheid> Cold/Hot Drinks are gone.
11:32 <Cepheid> Which will create some issues for some monsters, but is more of a "Get on with the danged game" change.
11:32 * ConfusionRift cries a little. "That's... so good."
11:32 <Cepheid> It didn't really add anything to the game to have to drink them.
11:33 <ConfusionRift> It made no sense in some occasions. Like, I understand using something to control the volcanic heat. But in the cold? Why bother with the super floofy armor if it's just accent. :P
11:34 <Cepheid> I mean, it had tactical aspects to it in the old-world games, but with the ability to walk while drinking in World and Rise, that tactical aspect is gone.
11:34 <Cepheid> You had to pick the right time to use it mid-combat, or just wait until the monster ran off.
11:34 <Cepheid> All because *NOM* *SUPER FLEX!*
11:34 * ConfusionRift adds squashing sound every time Cepheid drank/ate anything.
11:35 <Cepheid> Now my character makes a *NOM* sound.
11:35 * ConfusionRift mods the game to use the old sounds. :P
11:36 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
11:36 <ConfusionRift> So it sounds like you're squashing a tomato every time you drank a potion. :P
11:36 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:37 <Cepheid> I like to imagine that the sound is of the object being squished/shrunk to fit down our small throat.
11:37 <ConfusionRift> I'm sorry. But some time ago, my cousin was playing Generations for the heck of it, and hearing those sounds again just made me laugh.
11:37 <Cepheid> In one bite.
11:37 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, makes sense.
11:37 <Cepheid> Our throat muscles are too strong to choke on food.
11:37 <Cepheid> Jars and all.
11:37 <ConfusionRift> Hunter would eat the potions, and devour what looked like a Flintstone's size steak.
11:38 <Cepheid> Because gods knows where the jars are going when we drink the potions.
11:38 <Cepheid> ... Or where they come from for that matter, when we craft them from mushrooms and herbs.
11:38 <Cepheid> ... Or how we turn them into a greenish liquid.
11:39 <Cepheid> Item crafting in MH is weird.
11:39 * ConfusionRift is glad he doesn't need glass jar to make potions, like coatings.
11:39 <Schism> 1,000,000 empty phials.
11:39 <Cepheid> I need to get back to MH:R, but alas I am waiting.
11:41 <Cepheid> Hum, so it appears it was the motherboard causing me issues.
11:41 <ConfusionRift> "You know, you can craft a glass jar with two glass vials, right?" | (looks at two vials, bumps them together, then stares at them) ...huh? | "Look!" | (glass jar is now in his hands) What the...?!
11:41 <ConfusionRift> Oh... blarg.
11:41 <Cepheid> That's good news.
11:41 <Cepheid> The other components to replace are more expensive.
11:42 * Cepheid has already replaced the mobo. It fixed the problem.

11:47 * Lumindia blahs at Dappled
11:47 <Lumindia> Blah!
11:47 * Dappled baahs at Lumindia.
11:47 <Lumindia> I got my first vaccine dose yesterday
11:47 <Lumindia> kinda feeling crappy today
11:47 * Dappled huggu Lumindia.
11:47 <Lumindia> apparently a fair number of people have had a kind of 'under the weather' feeling the day after
11:48 * Dappled gets the second shot in a week.
11:48 <Cepheid> Yeah, I hear the second dose is worse with regards to that for some reason.
11:48 <Lumindia> oh boy, I'm not looking forward to that... but it's for the sake of health
11:49 <Cepheid> Sorry, didn't mean to make you worry. But at least you can be prepared, now.
11:49 <Cepheid> Grab yourself some cans of soup, and jello ahead of time.
11:50 <Lumindia> I mean, I've heard this a while ago
11:50 <Lumindia> so I'm expecting it
11:50 <Lumindia> though I was kinda holding out a small bit of hope that the blah feeling wouldn't hit
11:51 <Lumindia> I have several bottles of water ready in the fridge, so staying hydrated won't be an issue, at least
11:52 <Lumindia> I cleaned out several of the jars/bottles of condiments t hat had long since passed their expiration date, so now one door shelf is dedicated to bottles of water
11:54 <Lumindia> now that you've brought jello up, I'm kinda craving it. might pick some up on my next shopping trip
12:00 * Dappled go bed horse.
12:01 * Lumindia blankethorse
12:08 * Cepheid boots up Borderlands 3. Starts over. Third time's a charm for finishing it.
12:18 <Cepheid> Hum, let's see, PS4 Pro runs the game at 3200x1800. That's... 5/6th the resolution of 2160p.
12:31 <Cepheid> At the lowest preset, benchmark gets 58 FPS at 1800p.
12:34 <Cepheid> Medium gets me 38..
12:35 <Cepheid> Or, okay, this is 2160p. My attempts to use the config file to force 5/6 resolution didn't work.
12:36 <Cepheid> Hilariously, this benchmark... You have to run it at least 5 or 6 times to get actual performance metrics, because of how Unreal Engine games work.
12:37 <Cepheid> The engine loads shaders on demand. And the benchmark likes to switch things around each run, particularly, what weapons enemies use. Since weapons fire and explosive effects are partly shaders, it invokes new shader loads each time you run the benchmark, which induces hitching when it loads and compiles the shaders for the first time.

12:42 *** Quits: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
12:43 <Lumindia> huh, interesting
12:45 <Cepheid> There's a way around it, but it introduces a problem for a first-time run that most people won't put up with.
12:45 <Cepheid> You pre-compile every shader effect in the game, then cache it. When you need to use that shader, you grab the cached version and load it directly.
12:45 <Cepheid> The catch is, it takes a long time to do this.
12:48 <Cepheid> Some games, this take anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds. In more extreme cases, this can take up to 5-10 minutes.
12:52 <Cepheid> It's only a one-time thing though. That said, asking players to wait 5-10 minutes on a first-run might make them quit instead.
12:52 <Cepheid> So usually the 30-60 second case is done, and it's managed by doing only the most frequent shaders.
13:06 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmm.
13:07 <Cepheid> Hum, what class do I want to play this time..?
13:07 <Cepheid> I did Gunner.
13:07 <Cepheid> Last time.
13:07 * Cepheid takes a look at the skill trees.
13:08 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "Maybe the beastmaster this time?"
13:09 <Cepheid> Looking into him, and yeah.
13:09 <ConfusionRift> Never tried that one. Heard he was more of a glass cannon, but still good.
13:09 <Cepheid> His class seems more directed to soloing with the pet tree.
13:10 <Cepheid> But yeah, he's a sniper-type based on his appearance, so glass cannon is a thing.
13:10 <Cepheid> But then, I played the mechromancer in BL2, and she was also a glass cannon.
13:10 <Cepheid> Moreso than most because of that one skill where you can just keep stacking a buff over and over. Eventually it gets so bad that you can't hit **** from a distance, but if you do hit something, it suffers for it.
13:13 <Cepheid> Dominance... that has potential for abuse.
13:14 <Cepheid> Hit an enemy with a critical hit, and it turns into an ally for 12 seconds. 24 if it's a beast.
13:14 * ConfusionRift finds it funny they had to change that skill tree to prevent people from abusing it with the Infinity.
13:15 <ConfusionRift> More the Mechromancer's case.
13:15 <Cepheid> ... He gets a miniature ion loader pet.
13:15 <ConfusionRift> That would be a new tree I think, so you'll need a DLC.
13:16 <Cepheid> Right.
13:16 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah. Designer's Cut DLC.
13:16 * ConfusionRift raspberries at it.
13:17 <Cepheid> I dunno, that ION loader that can turn into an EXP loader would be enough for me to buy it.
13:20 <ConfusionRift> There the trapper for the Beastmaster, the cannon for the Operative, a new phase move for the Siren, and the summoning Bear for the Gunner.
13:21 <ConfusionRift> The Arms Race is meh.
13:21 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and the additional legendaries are alright.
13:24 <ConfusionRift> Mayhem 11 is good though. The other mayhems are just painful to play through with.
13:26 <Cepheid> Amara meanwhile is about punching things and elemental damage.
13:27 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
13:30 <Cepheid> She's got a powerful ability in her fire tree. Sustainment. Dealing elemental damage regenerates 4% of the damage in health.
13:30 <Cepheid> Get a nice, fast, high-powered weapon, and you could probably go without a shield.
13:31 <ConfusionRift> Not... quite...
13:31 <ConfusionRift> There will be enemies that have resistances and immunities to certain elements.
13:31 <Cepheid> True.
13:32 <Cepheid> Would synergize well with Clarity from the Acid tree.
13:32 <ConfusionRift> And unfortunately, elemental damage overwrites normal damage, so pffftttt.
13:32 <Cepheid> Permanent health regen.
13:32 <Cepheid> If you're going the elemental route though, you generally have swap options on hand.
13:33 <ConfusionRift> Of course.
13:33 <ConfusionRift> And you're kinda forced to do so later in the game, just like the previous two games.
13:34 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
13:34 <ConfusionRift> ESPECIALLY in Mayhem Mode. Guuuuuhhhhh.
13:35 <Cepheid> Fire and Acid trees synergize a bit. Melee boosting skill in both. +100% damage in acid, +75% damage in fire.
13:36 <Cepheid> Course, melee isn't really that viable. Though BL2 and 3 tried to resolve that by having weapons that contributed to melee damage.
13:36 <Cepheid> If it's something you want to do though, all the more power to you. I mean hells alive I punched my way through Grim Dawn.
13:37 <Cepheid> Let's see... Zane.
13:37 <ConfusionRift> Zane can get really painful, that's for sure.
13:39 <Cepheid> Yeah, and some of his skills are designed around recovering.
13:39 <Cepheid> I mean, one of them lets you sacrifice the digiclone to get out of Fight For Your Life with full health.
13:39 <ConfusionRift> Half pain and half support.
13:41 <Cepheid> Holy hell.
13:41 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?
13:41 <Cepheid> Seein' Red. "Activing the action skill activates all of Zane's kill skills."
13:41 <ConfusionRift> Yep!
13:42 <Cepheid> He also seems to be the tank, sort of.
13:42 <ConfusionRift> And there's one that restores the cooldown gauge.
13:42 <Cepheid> Barrier Tree.
13:42 <Cepheid> Er, Under Cover*
13:42 <ConfusionRift> And there's another that restores by critical hits. Not kills, hits.
13:42 <Cepheid> Skill to boost shield capacity. Skill to boost shield regen and reduce recharge delay.
13:43 <ConfusionRift> You can have Zane run all action skill buffs almost indefinitely.
13:43 <Cepheid> Reduction in non-elemental damage as well.
13:44 <Cepheid> With the ability to convert the elemental damage taken into non-elemental damage for 8 seconds.
13:44 <Cepheid> Definitely a tank.
13:44 <Cepheid> ...
13:45 <Cepheid> Whenever Zane freezes an enemy, his shields instantly begin recharging. If they're full, he begins regenerating health instead. If THAT is already full, action skill cooldown is reset.
13:45 * ConfusionRift nods.
13:45 <Cepheid> And at the end of that tree...
13:46 <Cepheid> His barrier gains the effects of his active shield.
13:46 <Cepheid> Geezus cripes.
13:46 <Cepheid> FL4K seems like a good choice though.
13:47 <ConfusionRift> Yep. He can literally run 'n' gun through masses with a good build.
13:49 <ConfusionRift> And then you have the radiation element.
13:49 <ConfusionRift> Technically, the new slag.
13:50 <Cepheid> Sometimes, I wonder if much of what claptrap says is adlibbed or not.
13:51 * Cepheid selects Space Cats echo theme.
13:51 <ConfusionRift> I do think so. Out of all the characters, he oddly seems the most... natural.
13:51 <Cepheid> Gonna be honest, I wanted to read that license agreement.
13:52 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/borderlands3/comments/d30onz/the_user_agreement/ Heh.
13:53 <Cepheid> "Recently Legless Gary"
13:53 <ConfusionRift> Fun fact: Claptrap mentions that the previous Echo model was faulty, and was later re-purposed as grenades. You can find them as grenade mods. :P
13:54 <ConfusionRift> It's a unique grenade mod. So it's common, yet not so.
13:55 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:56 <Cepheid> Sometimes, it's nice to stand and watch the various little details of animation on characters.
13:56 <Cepheid> For example, Claptrap. While he's waiting for the gate to be opened, you can watch his eye. It twitches around like a human's eye does. And there's this little metal flap just above it that adjusts it's position as the eye moves.
13:57 <ConfusionRift> That's the thing. When there are events and major animations, there are those very fine details... but those are completely absent elsewhere.
13:58 <Cepheid> That's pretty common in games, yeah.
13:58 <ConfusionRift> Which is kinda frustrating.
13:58 <Cepheid> Which is why it was such a big deal for MH:World, especially Iceborne.
13:58 <Cepheid> Seliana had a lot of very carelly-thought-out animations and the like.
14:00 * ConfusionRift nods.
14:02 * ConfusionRift sits next to the fire kiln, and watches the same Palico burst in smoke and flames continuously. "Heh."
14:05 <ConfusionRift> That's one thing I'm gonna miss. Now all monster are pissy again.
14:07 <Cepheid> My mother made an oops.
14:07 <Cepheid> We were expecting new furniture to arrive today, fine and dandy, but that means locking the cats up.
14:07 <Cepheid> My mother locked Tizzy up in her room, Spitfire in mine, again, fine and dandy.
14:07 <Cepheid> ... She left the drawer full of cat treats open.
14:07 <ConfusionRift> Oh boy.

18:21 <Cepheid> I know animals never stop growing and such, but usually after reaching a certain size, they sorta just stop getting larger.
18:22 <Cepheid> Which leaves me wondering why Spitfire is getting so large.
18:24 <Lumindia> not enough exercise?
18:25 <Cepheid> No, it's not fat.
18:26 <Cepheid> I mean his physical structure keeps increasing in size.
18:26 <Cepheid> Like, he's taller.
18:26 <LibrarianofHope> gigantism?
18:26 <LibrarianofHope> or something of the sort?
18:27 <LibrarianofHope> cats could get that sort of issue i could huess
18:27 <Cepheid> Could be his breed, too. We're not exactly sure what breed he is, as in, we don't know about the parentage.
18:27 <Cepheid> The mother was an orange tabby, the father, unknown.
18:27 <Lumindia> possible that there might be some maine coon in there?
18:27 <LibrarianofHope> remember to ask your vet wheenr ypu have the chance
18:28 <Lumindia> or some other large domesticated cat breed?
18:28 <Cepheid> The vet thinks it's just standard american shorthair.
18:40 <LibrarianofHope> right
18:40 <LibrarianofHope> forgot the ali glomp
18:40 * LibrarianofHope glomps ali
18:40 * Ali splats
18:45 * Cepheid goes to the Dimensional Corridor. o3o
18:59 * Lumindia boops Ali, flops weakly near them
18:59 <Lumindia> allii... save me
19:02 * LibrarianofHope pokes Lumindia with a stick
19:02 <LibrarianofHope> seems bad
19:04 * Ali boops Lumindia
19:04 <Lumindia> Got my first vaccine dose yesterday
19:04 <Lumindia> been feeling blah all day
19:09 <Ali> That is a frequent issue
19:11 <LibrarianofHope> probably less than advertised
19:11 <LibrarianofHope> but take care anyway lumindia
19:12 <Lumindia> yeah, I'll be fine... I have plenty of water bottles in the fridge ready to go
19:12 <LibrarianofHope> why water in particular?
19:13 <Lumindia> staying hydrateds
19:13 <Lumindia> hydration is important after all. :
19:18 * Schism drinks a gallon of Gatorade. "Yes."
19:19 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
19:23 * Schism has had a sodium deficiency! Also something something potassium.
19:28 <LibrarianofHope> banana
19:28 <LibrarianofHope> schism, isnt canada part pf the commowealth?
19:28 <LibrarianofHope> might be very off there
19:29 <Schism> It is indeed part of the Commonwealth, yes.
19:30 <LibrarianofHope> haas something uniqe happened today in regards to the passing of prince philiph?
19:34 * Lumindia offers Schism some Cashews
19:59 <Cepheid> I've suffered dehydration.
19:59 <Cepheid> Never again.
19:59 <Cepheid> And I don't advise it for anyone, not even my worst enemies.
20:01 <Cepheid> I couldn't sit up or stand, my stomach wouldn't allow it. I felt like I was sweating bullets when my skin was bone dry. Terrible headache, like a hangover. I was getting intravenous dimenhydrinate(Gravol, anti-nauseant) and I still couldn't sit or stand. It took two large milkbags worth of saline solution to get me back to functioning order.

21:04 <Schism> Cepheid: diabetic ketoacidosis typically results in severe dehydration. It is not good. You keep drinking water, and you keep throwing it up.
21:05 <Cepheid> Yeh, here I remember trying to eat food and keep down fluids, it didn't want to stay down.
21:06 <Finwe> Luckily I've never had the questionable honour of acquainting myself with it.
21:08 <Finwe> Not even during the couple of years before I was diagnosed.
21:11 <Schism> Horizon: Zero Dawn acquired.
21:11 <Schism> Not going to play it for forever, but it's there.
21:12 * Finwe noms on traditional Finnish sourdough rye bread.
21:13 * Schism offers Finwe some spinach dip in which to dip the sourdough rye.
21:14 <Finwe> 'Tis among the simplest kinds of bread in existence. The ingredients used are water, flour and salt.
21:14 * Schism noddles.
21:14 <Finwe> And a culture of microorganisms.
21:15 <Finwe> But that doesn't count.

21:18 <Finwe> Traditionally you would spare some of the previous dough and contaminate it with microbes, and then use it to leaven your next dough.
21:18 <Finwe> Miss Ali, Mr Dappled.
21:18 * Finwe doffs his hat.
21:18 * Ali is here, that's about it
21:18 * Dappled waves.
21:26 * Dappled has been getting that itch to make a dungeon again... Not that he'd run a dungeon, because he's a notoriously bad DM subject to the being easily distracted and bad at holding a thread for multiple sessions, but I want to make a dungeon.

21:35 <Schism> "Stop it. Stop trying things." --Defiant, to Skitter
21:45 <Cepheid> My psych asked if I ever got annoyed from being distracted from what I'm working on, doing, etc.
21:45 <Cepheid> I told her my mother has a tendency to talk a lot when I'm downstairs in the living room, and that it gets to me.
21:45 <Cepheid> My mother hasn't shut up in the last five minutes.
21:46 <Cepheid> I don't know why. She just keeps talking, even though all I'm doing is going "Uh huh" "Okay", "Mmhmm."
21:46 <Cepheid> And it's distracting. o3o
21:48 <Cepheid> Oh my gods.
21:48 <Cepheid> She went to replace the canister for the sodastream, and messed it up somehow.
21:48 <Cepheid> And got water everywhere.
21:49 * Finwe sips his Surreal Exhibition Ale.
22:01 * Cepheid screams bloody murder.
22:02 <LibrarianofHope> i dont know why, but i symphatize
22:02 <LibrarianofHope> what happened?
22:02 <Cepheid> My mother just won't stop talking.
22:02 <LibrarianofHope> you have sensory overload
22:02 <LibrarianofHope> probably
22:03 <Cepheid> It's a known problem, I'm sensitive to noises and vibrations around me.
22:03 <Cepheid> It disrupts anything I'm doing, makes focusing hard.

22:30 <Finwe> Oops.

22:32 * Schism plays Tic-Tac-Toe with Finwe.
22:34 <Finwe> Which version?
22:35 <Cepheid> Middle-Earthian Morgothian, No-Holds-Barred Tic-Tac-Toe.
22:35 * Lumindia noms Ali's ear gently
22:38 <Finwe> 3x3 ends in draw, 3x3x3 has one degree of freedom more, so whoever goes first wins.
22:38 <Cepheid> The version I described is played using the 9 rings of power from the mortal men doomed to die. The only winning move is to not play, since anyone who plays inevitably dies.
22:39 <Cepheid> Also, the ringwraiths are notorious for cheating.
22:40 * Finwe noms on the ring given to the witch king of Angmar.
