00:19 <Ali> Oh look Twitter is not working

00:19 * Ali flops about like a fish out of water.

00:23 <Schism> Huh, guess it is down.

00:25 <Ali> What is the world going to do without Twitter to have flame wars on!

00:25 * Ali noms on Schism ear

00:25 * Schism simply doesn't know! But she does know that it's now 8:30...

00:27 <Schism> Hmm.  If I were to sleep now, I'd wake up in time to at least be reasonably awake for work tomorrow.  So that, I shall have to do... or try to nap, anyway.

00:27 * Schism sighs. "Today has been ... well, spending 6 hours on a Zelda randomizer is not a bad thing."

00:35 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, for me, knockout druuuugs.

01:01 * Ali flops over the PinkieShy and gwumps

01:03 <uni> oh don't even get me started on their annoying tweeting

01:03 <Ali> Well twitter was down

01:03 <uni> I tell you, makes me wish I am allowed to own a shotgun

01:03 * Ali doesn't mind da birbs

01:04 <uni> try having a bunch roost outside your window for the better part of a year

01:04 <uni> and it's not even any particularly nice bird, just mynahs

01:06 <Finwe> We have seaguls, crows, sparrows, tits, pigeons and trushes.

01:06 <Finwe> And some others.

01:06 * Ali caws

01:07 <Finwe> Seaguls are mostly not nice when they come aland.

01:07 <Finwe> I once had my ice cream cone stolen by a large seagul.

01:07 <uni> birds are pests

01:07 <uni> mao was right

01:08 <Ali> I'll trade you those birds for my Canadian Geese

01:08 <Finwe> Tits are nice, they hide in the forests in summer and come to your enjoy what your bird feeder has to offer in the winter.

01:08 <Finwe> Most often great and blue tits this south.

01:09 <Finwe> Ali: We have those and barnacle geese as well.

01:09 <Ali> Here the pests are protected

01:09 <Finwe> Likewise.

01:09 <Finwe> They used to be extremely rare.

01:09 <Ali> But they're loud, territorial, and make a mess everywhere

01:09 <Finwe> This isn't the case anymore.

01:12 <Finwe> Luckily some foxen have found their way into the city and started feeding on the geese.

01:12 <Ali> Lucky

01:13 * Finwe boops Schism with proper use of the second kind of plular with fox.

04:39 <razorsharpfang> In other news, Turkey banned all purchases made with cryptos, so they can more easily track and quash pro-democracy persons.

05:41 <Apple_Jack> argle flargle blargle

05:41 * Dappled snugs Ali friend.

05:41 <Dappled> Indeed?

05:42 <Apple_Jack> it'd be nice if path of exile worked

05:42 <Ali> Its only one white mana to exile a creature

05:42 * Ali bleps

05:42 <Dappled> PoE 2 is coming.

05:45 * Schism plays a creature with Phasing.

05:46 * Ali attacks Schism with flanking

05:47 * Schism plays a Banding Sliver!

05:47 * Ali plays Defender Sliver! WHOOPS!~

05:48 <Ali> All Slivers have Defender~

05:48 <Ali> Like, why would you EVER do that

05:48 <Schism> To shortcut an opponent's sliver deck?

05:48 <Schism> short circuit*

05:48 <Ali> Schism, I gots the new elder drago today in the pre release kit

05:48 <Ali> 5BG for a 4/4 draggo wiff flying

05:49 <Ali> Ability is it makes a 1/1 token on each upkeep that if it dies you gain 1 life

05:49 <Ali> And you can pay 10 life to untap all your lands, but can only be done once per turn.

05:50 <Schism> That's... hrmm.  Potentially useful.

05:50 <Ali> Well its each upkeep

05:50 <Ali> so its a chump blocker for 1 life gain

05:50 <Ali> And if you have cards that trigger when you gain life

05:51 <Ali> It can get stupid

05:51 <Schism> Fair enough.

05:51 <Ali> There's a card from an older set

05:51 <Ali> That whenever you gained life, each oppenent lost the same ammount

05:52 <Cepheid> I should be asleep.  Why am I wide awake?

05:53 <Schism> I don't know either.  I should get a few more hours...

06:40 <Cepheid> No skills build.  That is, I don't take any classes.

06:41 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony!

06:41 * Finwe wakes up and yawns at Ali.

06:42 * Ali yawns back to Finwe

06:42 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and Schism; Messrs Apple_Jack, Cepheid and Dappled.

06:52 * Finwe snickers at "curl https://users.aalto.fi/~vhalkola/trixie.txt".

06:52 <Finwe> Whoever did this?

06:52 * Finwe rolls his eyes.

06:53 <Cepheid> Hmm.  That could impact survivability of a no-class run.  I don't get stats at level up, just a stat point to spend.  I'll need stat sticks to survive.

06:54 <Cepheid> That, or to spend my points carefully.

07:00 <Cepheid> Hum.  Stats also determine health, so I'll need to spend these points wisely and, again, stat sticks.

07:01 * Cepheid gets a monster infrequent weapon. Not bad.

07:02 <Cepheid> And because of utter weakness, this character is named Farmer Cepheid.

07:41 <Cepheid> And armor.

07:50 * Golden flops. He cleared the online hub story for now.

07:56 <Golden> That last monster for the hub actually gave me my third cart total of the entire game. Thinking of going for Tigrex armor, Rathalos armor, or some other of the late game hr monster armor and slotting in free meal for the level deco slots.

07:57 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

07:58 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

07:58 <Cepheid> Heyo.

07:59 <Golden> Hey

08:00 <Golden> The other two carts through out my playthrough of Rise was do to being staggered by other hunters.

08:01 * ConfusionRift is taking progress in that game veeeery slow.

08:01 <Golden> I fully haven't progressed the village quests from 3 star.

08:02 <Golden> I even managed to get a complete hr Rathian set, with princess raiper II.

08:02 <ConfusionRift> I'm not gonna discuss the adventure that is getting plates and gems for armor.

08:03 <Golden> Of course though I am looking for new SnS for I learned Poison is almost completely useless unless hunting Khezu

08:03 <Cepheid> I haven't played in weeks.

08:04 <Golden> Seriously Khezu is the only monster with a 3 stat weakness to poison. All others either have 1, or 0 stars

08:05 <ConfusionRift> They're still affected by poison.

08:05 <Golden> Yeah, but jesus. I'd expect monsters like Diablos to be affected more.

08:05 <ConfusionRift> Nah. No one can stop the train with poison. :P

08:06 <ConfusionRift> And thank you for letting me know Diablos is in this one. That's gonna be fuuuuun.

08:06 <Golden> I have nick named Diablos "Thomas" for when ever it runs around I just hear the Thomas the Tank Engine theme.

08:07 <Schism> https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/mh242p/just_when_you_thought_it_was_safe_to_enjoy_some/

08:07 <ConfusionRift> I suspect it'll have that terrible running hitbox.

08:07 <Schism> Poor hungry Diablos.

08:08 <Golden> The first time I fought Diablos I had to try to be intentionally hit.

08:08 <Golden> Whenever it ran at me I was always in the smallest safe space between it's head, and legs.

08:10 * ConfusionRift hmmms. He still suspects a bad time of sorts.

08:10 <Golden> Depends.

08:11 <ConfusionRift> Then again, it wasn't bad in World, but that was because I got meticulous about it, before the fight.

08:11 <ConfusionRift> I'm probably gonna bowgun it, as I used to back then.

08:11 * Cepheid scours the Grim Dawn with a classless character. "Game, I need a better weapon."

08:12 <Golden> I had a real bad hunting time today for some reason other hunters seem to either not notice, or intentionally ignore the wind up for attacks.

08:13 * ConfusionRift watches as they find the middle finger relic. Must be a sign of sorts. :P

08:14 <Golden> Wait....has anyone seen Poogi in rise??

08:14 <ConfusionRift> Huh... I honestly forgot. No, I haven't.

08:16 <Golden> I haven't either

08:19 * ConfusionRift turns on the Switch, and sees the preview pic for MH:R updates coming. "What the heck is that?! Is... is it what I think it is?!"

08:19 * Finwe noms on chili sin carne and rice.

08:23 * ConfusionRift also wonders if it's possible to get no effects from dangos.

08:24 <Golden> Haven't gotten a preview pic on my end.

08:25 <ConfusionRift> It looks like some form of apex, or unknown type Rathian.

08:26 <ConfusionRift> If it's the unknown type, we basically are getting a Fatalis of sorts.

08:26 <Cepheid> Hum.

08:27 * Cepheid goes to take a look/

08:27 <Golden> Just checked the official mh site, and it's only at version 1.1.2

08:27 <ConfusionRift> ...Apex Rathalos.

08:28 <Cepheid> Ah, yeah.

08:28 <Cepheid> Apex Rath.

08:29 <Cepheid> Been known for a while now.

08:29 <ConfusionRift> Also Chameleos (I know someone who would like that one), more pain, and increased HR.

08:29 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, well excuuuuuuuse me, bud. :P

08:29 <Cepheid> Heh. :P

08:29 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.)

08:29 * Cepheid finds a new weapon. It's the tail of a monster.

08:31 *** Pony_3678 is now known as Bloodrose

08:31 <Cepheid> I'm partly inclined to declare this impossible, as the enemy HP is scaling faster than the damage output of a classless character.

08:34 <Golden> I'm not looking forward to fighting the item thief known as Chameleos.

08:35 * ConfusionRift points at Melynxes.

08:35 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait... you didn't recover items from Chameleos.

08:36 <Cepheid> The crux of the problem I face isn't that the damage output is too low.  It's that enemies regenerate health, even in combat.

08:36 <ConfusionRift> Blarg. Is this high difficulty?

08:37 <Schism> She started off on Veteran difficulty, but now it's just normal...

08:38 <Cepheid> ^

08:38 <Cepheid> Veteran threw me a nice bone to start with, getting a good monster infrequent, but then I ran into a boss that was regenerating faster than I could damage.

08:40 <Golden> I am hoping to see Gore Magala in one of the Rise updates. I miss my frezy dragon

08:41 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift, visit the frozen isles.  When you do so, sooner or later you'll hear a loud, unusual roar.

08:41 <Cepheid> Go to the east side of the map, climb up the boat, and look east.

08:44 <Cepheid> And by sooner or later, I mean one of the times you visit the isles.

08:46 <ConfusionRift> Huh. Have heard the roar, but now I wonder.

08:48 <Cepheid> Bring some shrimp and a camera.

08:57 * Schism peers at PoE updating.

08:59 <ConfusionRift> East, right?

09:00 <ConfusionRift> Also... that's a dragonator.

09:00 <Cepheid> East, yes.  Climb the mast of the boat if you have to.

09:02 <Cepheid> I'm not sure if it's on a time limit to spot, but it should be obvious if it's there.

09:10 <Cepheid> Man, even HTTP is moving to UDP.  Does TCP really have that much overhead and that many delays these days?

09:20 <Schism> I guess when you're opening 5,000 different connections to ad servers et al.

09:20 <Cepheid> True.

09:20 <Schism> And separate threads to every CDN under the planet.

09:21 <Cepheid> I'm kinda curious, how do flat-Earthers explain Australia?

09:22 <Cepheid> Or South America?  Or parts of countries beneath the equator.

09:22 <Schism> In the Discworld series, it was just another continent on a separate part of the, well, Disc.  Something about how there was a turnwise portion and a widdershins portion.

09:22 <Schism> Of course, this was Pterry's little fabrication, and it didn't have to make sense, because magic.

09:23 <Cepheid> Right.

09:26 <Schism> Cepheid: You might also be amused by the idea of Bielefeld, Germany.  

09:27 <Cepheid> Oh?

09:27 <Schism> A colossal in-joke, especially from those who actually live there, the common idea is that it doesn't exist.  After all, have you ever met anyone from Bielefeld?

09:27 <Cepheid> No, I can't say I have.

09:27 <Schism> There you have it, then.

09:28 <ConfusionRift> It's a classified thing too.

09:28 <Schism> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefeld_conspiracy

09:28 * Cepheid wonders what ConfusionRift has discovered.

09:29 <ConfusionRift> Just have to say it's big, slow, and don't remember ever seeing it before.

09:29 <Cepheid> Heh.

09:29 <Cepheid> Supposedly, if you wave to it, it waves back.

09:30 <Cepheid> I only know of it thanks to screenshots of it being spread on Twitter.

09:31 <ConfusionRift> Oh, apparently, it's nocturnal.

09:32 <Cepheid> Ah.

09:40 <Cepheid> Oh, in other random news..

09:40 <Cepheid> It wasn't the motherboard.

09:40 <ConfusionRift> Oh?

09:41 <Cepheid> Motherboard's indicating "No VGA detected"

09:41 <Cepheid> It's the video card.

09:42 <Schism> Or at least the video card's bus...

09:42 *** Quits: ryaxnb21 (ryaxnb@Pony-i7u332.ca.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

09:43 <Cepheid> It's unlikely the bus, given I'm getting the same beep code on both motherboards.

09:43 <Schism> I've had those issues before where a clean of the contacts worked for at least a little while.  But yeah.

09:44 <Cepheid> I guess I could always try that.

09:45 <Schism> Maybe check to make sure that there's no grunge or the like in the power supply, either.

09:45 <Schism> Tho if that were the case, you'd probably have seen that a lot sooner.

09:46 <Cepheid> Power supply was clean last I saw it.

09:46 <Cepheid> Which was two weeks ago.

09:46 <Schism> Mm.

09:46 <Cepheid> The interior of the case was more or less dust free thanks to efforts to keep it such.

09:49 * Schism decides she should take a moment - an hour - to maybe have a brief nap before work.

09:50 <Schism> It's kind of funny.  It'd been 6 months since my last 'mental health' day.  Yesterday was... relieving.  And my bosses accepted the statement that I was just incapable of working.

09:50 * Schism looks back. "Wait, no. 8 months."

09:54 * ConfusionRift unlocks a special quest. "THREE?! Okay, now that's funny." Cancels.

10:07 <Cepheid> Well, I suppose I could use a day off.

10:07 <Finwe> From what?

10:07 <Cepheid> Coding, exercising, the daily routine

10:07 <Schism> Once this metabolizes, I'm taking an hour's nap and then diving back into the case queue.

10:07 <Finwe> I could use a century off any pandemic.

10:08 <Schism> I blew off yesterday because I could not by any stretch of the imagination deal with work.  Some days are like that.  Today, I feel a pressure to do twice as much.  ._.

10:08 * Finwe sends a cryptic customer complaint for Schism to solve.

10:09 <Schism> Please.  I like the difficult cases which aren't just a matter of a customer refusing to uncheck the e-mail box.

10:10 <Schism> Because at least that way, I know it's a problem instead of some idiot refusing to accept that every coupon has exceptions and exclusions.

10:10 <Finwe> The checkout page uses nonstandard HTML that does not render correctly in Amaya.

10:11 <Schism> While I would greatly like to be on the team which actually handles that, we're more website support than website design...

10:11 * Schism also takes her Toujeo.

10:12 <Finwe> I know. When I complained about the NTFS driver in HP's UEFI, I was put through to someone who had no idea about what could be wrong with the NTFS driver.

10:12 <Finwe> That's a rather mystical case as whole.

10:13 <Schism> Yeah, that's ... one of those cases where you'd need at least three rubber chickens and a pentagram drawn in magenta ink.

10:13 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)

10:14 <Finwe> If invoked from BIOS or during startup, the NTFS driver stalls trying to read any NTFS volume, but if you exclude any NTFS volumes from being scanned for bootloaders and later on launch an EFI shell from rEFInd, the driver works just fine.

10:15 <Finwe> So it's either the driver being buggy in some mysterious way, or HP's BIOS being buggy, or the driver doesn't get loaded early enough or something.

10:16 <Cepheid> It likely doesn't support the version of NTFS used on the drive.  There are different versions.

10:16 <Schism> Lattermost seems most likely.  System doesn't know how to handle it, checks if there's something that'll work, goes into a loop.

10:16 <Schism> There are different filesystem versions, sure, but if it loads later on...

10:16 <Schism> Well, mounts.

10:17 <Finwe> Cepheid: But as I said, it works fine under EFI shell.

10:17 <Cepheid> Oh.  I missed that detail.

10:17 <Cepheid> Yeah.  Sounds like it isn't being loaded early enough.

10:19 <Finwe> My workaround is to configure rEFInd not to scan any NTFS volumes, because there are no bootloaders on them; the Windows loader resides in my ESP, which is, of course, a FAT partition, and the Linux kernel in an ext4 partition.

19:44 * Dappled head tilts.

19:44 <Ali> See way back when I was playing the pokemon TCG

19:44 <Ali> They gave out these organized play packs

19:44 <Ali> It was a two card booster

19:45 <Ali> inside said booster was Espeon gold star, and Umbreon gold star

19:45 <Ali> but being a rare card and a 17 card set, the odds of pulling one was horridly low

19:46 * Dappled would only ever play a TCG in something like Tabletop Simulator. Where someone has just put in scans and no one can pay to win.

19:48 * Dappled brushies the Ali. Rare cards always go for a lot cause someone will buy it.

19:48 <Ali> But I own both of them Dappled :P

19:48 <Ali> They're part of my Eeveelutions collection from base set up to black and white

19:49 <Dappled> Okay, but with 40 thousand USD you can buy a lot of pokemon cards.

19:54 <Ali> I'm an eeveelutions fan, I will not give them up

19:55 * Dappled suffers from kitty paralysis.

19:59 <ADragonDreaming> I bought furniture today

20:10 <Cepheid> What kind of furniture?

20:17 <Cepheid> Hum.  Person claims they were banned by Path of Exile devs for using macroing system for accessibility purposes.

20:17 <Cepheid> Later turns out that the person lied.  And then claimed the "claim that I lied" was created by a hacker.  And so on, and so on.

20:18 <Cepheid> But the full story behind it is that it was supposedly an experiment by a teacher to demonstrate how easy it is to rile up emotions and get people to rally behind a cause politically.

20:18 <Cepheid> Regardless of the reason, the ban doesn't actually exist, and it's caused a lot of controversy, and a lot of upset people.

20:19 <AppleDash> Sounds about right
