04:53 <PinkieShy> I'll tell you what is in those.
04:53 <PinkieShy> A nightmare on your stomach and arteries is what is in those.

09:01 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe (salutes... a bit late)
09:01 <ConfusionRift> Had my headphones off. ._.
09:05 <Cepheid> Hey Rifty.
09:06 * ConfusionRift waves.
09:09 <Cepheid> MH: Rise update was released last night. o3o. Chameleos, Teostra, Kushala, Apex Rathalos, Apex Diablos. And some apexes can now be fought in their own quests.
09:09 <ConfusionRift> Niice.
09:09 <ConfusionRift> I haven't checked Rise in a while.
09:10 <Cepheid> Same. Started again yesterday.
09:16 <Cepheid> Gonna be honest, I expected you to flip out a bit at the mention of Apex Diablos. :P
09:17 <ConfusionRift> The reason why I didn't is because I'm so far behind that I doubt I'll get to that soon. I'm curious to see Chameleos again though. It's been a long time.
09:18 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
09:19 <ConfusionRift> Now, it would be quite the middle finger to just add it as an urgent for the village. :P
09:20 <Cepheid> Heh. Never know. They did add some new village quests near the end supposedly.
09:21 <Cepheid> But no, Apexes are usually found in Rampage quests. Though now some of them are found in normal quests.
09:23 <ConfusionRift> Rampages... I keep forgetting to do some. I know, they give materials for stuff in those, just not very fond of the mechanics.
09:24 <Cepheid> Probably a part of why the apexes were moved outside of them.
09:33 <Cepheid> Spitfire, can I have a breakfast period without you trying to knock everything on the table over?
09:39 <Cepheid> Finally got my first cart in Rise yesterday.
09:39 <Cepheid> Magnamalo. Turns out the hellfire explosions hurt.
09:40 <ConfusionRift> They do... a lot.
09:41 <ConfusionRift> His armor has a similar effect, which seems to be it's "curse" or negative effect during a monster rage.
09:42 * ConfusionRift also got carted by Magnamalo... but because he got caught completely off guard.
09:42 <ConfusionRift> That air hopping was not expected.
09:42 <Cepheid> I got unlucky. Hit me with hellfire, knocked me over. I get up just as he does a body slam.
09:43 <Cepheid> Combo took me from full health to 0.
09:45 <Cepheid> *Matt Mercer Voice* OH NO.
09:45 <Cepheid> There is a surprise monster not revealed. I got spoiled for it. And... And...
09:46 <Cepheid> https://youtu.be/H3c4GYwHnDc
09:46 <Cepheid> Spoilers of course.
09:47 <ConfusionRift> How dare you?! (clicks it)
09:48 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe... wait...
09:48 <Cepheid> Hence the Oh no.
09:49 <ConfusionRift> Nooooo! Not the B17 and Mr. Pickle!
09:49 <Cepheid> Just B-17.
09:50 <ConfusionRift> ...really? I'm surprised there's no Mr. Pickle.
09:50 <Cepheid> At least as far as I can tell
09:50 * ConfusionRift keeps an eye.
09:51 <Cepheid> I see no themes for a Rise pickle. I expect that in May.
09:51 <Cepheid> Bazel is trouble enough as the invasion monster though.
09:52 <Cepheid> But yeah it was spoiled with a meme image. See, they revealed the elders with a triple-slash image. But someone went and modified it.
09:52 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/q1rhv18k8tv61.png
09:54 * ConfusionRift was joking about the B-17 thing... but it makes so much sense. :P
09:55 <ConfusionRift> I'm yet to beat Ice Wyvern.
09:55 <Cepheid> Which one be that again?
09:55 <ConfusionRift> Vhelkanna I think?
09:56 <Cepheid> Really? Huh. Need a hand doing so?
09:56 <ConfusionRift> Nah, I still have a bit of ways to go.
09:57 <ConfusionRift> I'm also playing something. Wanna get to a save point before taking a bit of a break.
09:57 <Cepheid> Well, if you ever need assistance with anything just give me a yell. I don't mind going back to world to help there.
09:58 <ConfusionRift> Is... is it after Tigrex and Brachidios?
09:58 <Cepheid> Yes.
09:58 <Cepheid> Truth told brachy is a bit of a pushover in World. Tigrex... Eeehhhhh....
09:59 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
10:00 <ConfusionRift> Those pseudowyverns are all a problem. They're too big, and too fast for me. I find it extremely odd they decided to put Nargacuga before Tigrex, which worries me so.
10:01 <Cepheid> Strangely Narga isn't too bad.
10:01 <ConfusionRift> ...
10:02 <Cepheid> Tigrex I can understand. It was meant to be a final boss.
10:02 <ConfusionRift> Oh, right. You probably destroyed it with just a glare. That guy wanted my butt on a plate, and was almost served.
10:02 <Cepheid> It attacks you at the start of the game and basically makes itself a presence to be feared.
10:03 <Cepheid> I have experience with black cats, yes.
10:03 <ConfusionRift> Wait... Tigrex? A final boss?
10:03 <Cepheid> It is expressed as such in Freedom Unite is it not?
10:04 <Cepheid> Attacks at the start of the game in a cutscene. Village fears it much like many of the flagship monsters in other games.
10:04 <Cepheid> Village responds to it as if it were a final boss worthy of a credits scene after its defeat.
10:05 <ConfusionRift> It was expressed in the same way at the Rathalos in the box cover of World.
10:05 <ConfusionRift> Yes, it was an important and dawning presence, but it wasn't even worthy of a credits roll.
10:06 <ConfusionRift> Same went with Nargacuga.
10:06 <Cepheid> Fair enough. Mind, nor was Magna.
10:06 <Cepheid> But he got one anyway.
10:06 <Cepheid> He managed to cart me once, won't lie. But he still felt slow as molasses like the rest.
10:07 <ConfusionRift> I got carted, but not on my first go. It was on my third, as I tried to get its armor.
10:07 <Cepheid> Too used to the ultra speed of Master/G rank
10:07 <ConfusionRift> You're used to 144hz. :P
10:08 <Cepheid> I fought Basarios with the Lagombi set. He barely touched me. That's -15 fire resist by the way.
10:09 <Cepheid> Oddly enough, with respect to G rank, I expect it within the next few months.
10:09 <ConfusionRift> Same, but because I'm familiar with its moves. I might have not fought it since FU, but I remember its moves.
10:10 <ConfusionRift> ...except that run roll.
10:11 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:12 <Cepheid> But yeh. In May, we get more monsters and apexes, and a new ending to the game. Supposedly it is meant to finish the Rampage storyline and start a new one.
10:13 <Cepheid> Which would be a good point to start a new rank.
10:14 * Cepheid is making sure to clear each village quest. Wants the reward associated with that.
10:16 <ConfusionRift> It's just Fatalis grabbing you, throwing you on the floor, destroying your armor to pieces. "Welcome to G-Rank, (bleep)!!!" (starts the quest after being carted) ...excuse me?!
10:17 <Cepheid> I expect that of the hub quests, yes.
10:18 <Cepheid> At least, the later ones. Or if I solo them.
10:20 <Cepheid> I'll be back in a bit. Gonna take a shower before my dad wakes up.
10:27 * ConfusionRift has just noticed that he should finish more of the Castlevania reruns.
10:34 * Cepheid wanders back, humming the Bazelgeuse theme stinger.
10:34 <ConfusionRift> Invasion!
10:35 <Cepheid> Alas, they messed up it's intro in Rise, sort of.
10:35 <Cepheid> They mention it by name before it can even start invasions in the first place.
10:36 <Cepheid> It would have been better if it just became an invasion without any sort of warning, but I suspect the social media people asked Capcom not to do that out of fear of being swarmed with lots of "NO! PLEASE GOD NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
10:36 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31g0YE61PLQ
10:38 <Cepheid> I admit I would have been that way had I suddenly heard the stinger.
10:38 <Cepheid> "What? Nononono! ****! ****! **** **** **** **** ****! SCREW YOU CAPCOM!"
10:40 <Cepheid> AKA: The response of approximately 80% of the playerbase. The remaining 20% would have been "Time to meme again."
10:44 * ConfusionRift notices something.
10:44 <ConfusionRift> R-Type Final 2 releases in two days.
10:44 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:56 <Cepheid> ...
10:56 <Cepheid> It occurs to me, there's a Rabi-Ribi flag which makes no-hit on bosses much, much harder.
10:57 <Cepheid> You can now set -randombullets. This would make a certain attack from Irisu nearly impossible to dodge.
10:58 <ConfusionRift> Gonna take a shot and say "-randombullets" is a pattern break command, or a command that randomizes character patterns?
10:58 <Cepheid> I haven't tested it, myself.
10:58 <Cepheid> Schism would be a better source of info about it, but the name..
10:58 <Cepheid> The name suggests the bullets are aimed randomly?
11:00 * Cepheid hums. Needs to fix a rendering bug.
11:00 <ConfusionRift> Oh nooo. From what I saw in a little preview, it looks like characters can use random bullet patterns. Not that their aim or bullets themselves are random, but the pattern choices..
11:01 <ConfusionRift> ...and it's on ALL enemies.
11:02 <Cepheid> Ah.
11:02 <Cepheid> Okay that makes things more viable.
11:02 <ConfusionRift> https://twitter.com/241ch/status/1377627811138142209
11:02 <Cepheid> Because Irisu's blue wave would be impossible to dodge if it were the other approach.
11:03 * ConfusionRift would like to try it out, just for the giggles.
11:05 <ConfusionRift> Oh... nice. There's a command that makes Ribbon useless. :P
11:06 <ConfusionRift> "(Hidden) Joke option added April fools 2021. Enemies shoot a randomly selected bullet type. The bullets are very hard to dodge and deal lots of damage. "
11:07 <Cepheid> Ah, randomly selected bullet type. I missed that.
11:08 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2278 [ https://tinyurl.com/ye3qwh79 ]
11:12 * ConfusionRift checks his original old save... 96%?
11:12 <ConfusionRift> I... collected everything. Oh wait. I think I'm missing a DLC thing.
11:13 <Cepheid> I never did 100% that game. Should, sometime.
11:14 * Cepheid stretches and yawns. Then blinks repeatedly. "My vision went all blurry from that." o3o
11:16 <Cepheid> Not today though.
11:17 * ConfusionRift sees the first shooting enemy... almost goes blind.
11:18 <ConfusionRift> Okay, someone just literally threw a flashbang. The screen is completely white.
11:22 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:23 * Cepheid watches the Bunny Net Bomb go off from a small pink harmless bunny.
11:23 <Cepheid> That'd be a terrible thing to discover.
11:24 <ConfusionRift> Thing of note. Game has a projectile limit. If someone does an attack pattern that uses it all up, Ribbon is can't use her charged shots.
11:24 <Cepheid> I'm not surprised.
11:24 <Cepheid> Bullet hell games require special optimizations to handle the number of bullets they like to show on screen.
11:24 <Cepheid> Which usually means a hard limit, because using dynamically-resizing structures is... not the best of ideas.
11:25 <Cepheid> Usually that hard limit is high enough to handle even the worst situation in a NORMAL game.
11:25 <Lumindia_> and then people go and make things like "Ultra Extra" mods for Touhou
11:25 <Lumindia_> and things break
11:26 <ConfusionRift> Accidentally stumbled on Chocolate, and most of her attacks avoided me. Now, one attack, the one that replaced her special, exceeded the projectile limit, and encased her in a really big bullet. So I had to do far swipes or abuse the i-frames with the hammer.
11:26 <Cepheid> In theory, it's possible to have an unlimited number of bullets on screen. I use the term "unlimited" loosely here, since it's actually limited by system RAM and performance.
11:26 <Cepheid> You update the bullets using a non-deterministic algorithm, such as threading and splitting up the load of updating all the bullets on all course instead of a single core.
11:27 <Cepheid> Er, on all cores*
11:27 <Cepheid> As for the dynamically-resizing buffer...
11:28 <Cepheid> Actually, honestly that wouldn't work.
11:28 <Cepheid> You can't use a single buffer for every bullet type out there.
11:29 <Cepheid> While you can mix references to different types of bullets that derive from a base class in a buffer, you can't mix concrete instances of different bullet types in a buffer. Or, rather, it's very difficult to do so.
11:29 <Cepheid> So much so it may not be worth it.
11:31 <Cepheid> The core problem is you want to keep all of the bullets close together in memory.
11:31 <Cepheid> That way, when you iterate over them, the CPU cache isn't thrashed horribly.
11:32 <Cepheid> By keeping them close and compact, multiple bullets can be loaded into a single cache line at once, reducing the number of memory read/writes. If they are all over the place in memory, then memory read/writes have to be performed much more frequently.
11:32 <Cepheid> And any decent programmer will tell you that's slow.
11:33 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-ub7st0.tpgi.com.au)
11:33 <Cepheid> Memory speeds, from fastest to slowest: Registers, L1 Cache, L2 Cache, L3 Cache, L* Cache(* = 4 or higher, if more caches are involved), System RAM, Hard Drive, Network.
11:34 <Cepheid> And usually the performance differences are on the scale of 10s. So L1 is 10 times slower than registers, L2 is 10 times slower than L1, and so on. Sometimes it goes up to 100s or 1000s.
11:34 <RazorSharpFang> My HDD has read speeds slower than my ethernet card.
11:35 <Cepheid> Doubt that. Modern platter drives reach up to 200MBytes/sec now, unless you're using an aged piece of junk. Even 1GB ethernet is limited to 125 or so.
11:35 <Cepheid> 10GB would be faster, though.
11:36 <RazorSharpFang> It is not a modern drive.
11:36 <Cepheid> Anyhoo... Have a thousand bullets? Two thousand? You want them compacted and close together, so that the number of reads/writes from the higher level caches and system RAM are kept to a minimum. Otherwise, you get what's called "thrashing."
11:36 <Finwe> 10 Gb Ethernet has payload rate of 2162 MB.
11:37 <Finwe> MTU 9000, that is.
11:37 <Cepheid> Thrashing is wherein the entire cache is repeatedly evicted over and over rapidly, sometimes many times over a frame. It kills performance harder than that vampire lady kills people from Resident Evil Village.
11:37 <Finwe> MTU 1500 has lower, 1716 MB.
11:37 <Cepheid> It was... a particularly prominent problem in a well-known game.
11:37 * Cepheid looks at Doom 3.
11:38 <Finwe> Even ordinary gigabit Ethernet performs at over 200 MB/s.
11:38 <Cepheid> That game had a severe texture thrashing problem. Different type of memory/cache/etc in use, but same principle. Too many textures being loaded into VRAM. Opening doors induced horrific thrashing as old textures were evicted and new ones loaded in.
11:40 <Cepheid> The reason memory compaction keeps the number of reads(Writes are a different case) down, is because cache memory is read in chunks called lines, rather than as individual bytes. Typically a line is 64 bytes. You can fit a number of objects into 64 bytes. It's also why people are so picky about ordering their data to minimize the padding waste.
11:41 <RazorSharpFang> Is why the Char, Word, DWord, Line terminology is used...
11:41 <Cepheid> That terminology is just a holdover from C and Microsoft.
11:43 <Cepheid> Char is a data type large enough to hold, at the time, an ASCII character. Word is the word size of the architecture(That is, the native data type it handles, so for 32-bit machines, a 32-bit integer). DWord is used for a data type that's twice the size of a WORD, QWord and so on.
11:43 <Cepheid> I've never heard of Line, though.
11:43 <Cepheid> I believe those terms these days have a dedicated "size" associated with them thanks to Microsoft.
11:43 <Cepheid> Char is 1 byte, Word is 2 bytes, DWord is 4, QWord is 8.
11:44 <Cepheid> Because at the time of these definitions, the architecture in use was 16-bit, not 32-bit.
11:44 <Cepheid> Arguably, I prefer the more modern approach C/C++ takes.
11:44 <Cepheid> int8_t, int16_t, int32_t, int64_t.
11:45 <Cepheid> You know it's an integer, and the number tells you how many bits it has.
11:45 <RazorSharpFang> Tbh, I appreciate the disambiguity of Int32, Int16, Int8, Int64
11:45 <Cepheid> It's a real pain in the ass with C and C++ portable code.
11:46 <Cepheid> C# has the distinction of specifying the exact dimensions expected for each of it's data types, so there's no problem with it.
11:46 <Cepheid> C and C++ though are a different beast.
11:46 <Cepheid> You got different "programming models"
11:46 <Cepheid> This primarily affects 32-bit and 64-bit development, though.
11:46 <Cepheid> There's two major models, LP64, and LLP64.
11:47 <Cepheid> LP64, long and pointer types are 64-bit. So, char = 8-bit, short = 16-bit, int = 32-bit, long = 64-bit, pointers = 64-bit.
11:47 <Cepheid> Then you got LLP64, where long is 32-bit, and "long long" is 64-bit. Thus, char = 8-bit, short = 16-bit, int = 32-bit, long = 32-bit, long long = 64-bit, pointers = 64-bit.
11:48 <Cepheid> How does this affect portability you ask? Windows uses LLP64. Linux uses LP64.
11:48 <RazorSharpFang> Oh fantastic
11:49 <Cepheid> This applies only to C and C++ code, and any other languages where the data types are not strongly defined as having an explicit width.
11:50 <Cepheid> If I recall correctly, C# has strict requirements on data type sizes.
11:50 <Cepheid> Though with C# 9.0, it re-introduced the problem in a sense.
11:50 <RazorSharpFang> Oh?
11:50 <Cepheid> nint, and nuint.
11:50 <Cepheid> Native Int, Native Unsigned Int.
11:50 <RazorSharpFang> Ah
11:50 <Cepheid> They're sized depending on the architecture.
11:51 <Cepheid> They map to IntPtr and UIntPtr respectively.
11:51 * ConfusionRift got obliterated by Cocoa's robot kitty of death.
11:52 *** Quits: Dappled (IceChat9@Shady.The.Pet.Pony) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
11:54 * ConfusionRift removes -randombullets.
11:55 <ConfusionRift> Cocoa is impossible from a fresh start.
11:57 *** Quits: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone) (Connection closed)
11:57 <ConfusionRift> Wait... i don't remember there being a cutscene frame for Cocoa on her first defeat.
12:03 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
12:03 <Cepheid> Yeah, she has one.
12:03 <Cepheid> She just cries and runs off.
12:03 <Cepheid> She skips it if you beat her up *AFTER* getting Ribbon.
12:04 <Cepheid> I think she also skips the first encounter cutscene as well.
12:05 * ConfusionRift meant that one frame of her sitting on her butt, calling you a bunny weirdo, saying she won't be beaten.
12:06 <ConfusionRift> Also... I didn't remove -randombullets. Thought that ribbon wouldn't be an issue... I was wrong.
12:06 <ConfusionRift> Both have shown really chaotic finishers.
12:08 * ConfusionRift watches as Ribbon uses her first special pattern... and the bullets don't move or disappear. A literal wall of bullets.
12:08 <Cepheid> You know, what helps with the B-52 Stealth Bomber meme of Bazelgeuse is the theme. For some reason, the theme sounds like something you'd hear in a movie with regards to an approaching fleet of bombers.

12:09 <ConfusionRift> One thing's for sure. Patterns seem consistent, but their effects are completely different.
12:09 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:09 <Cepheid> It probably randomizes the bullets in the sense of randomizing the patterns.
12:10 <DerpyBot> *derp*
12:10 <ConfusionRift> Because Ribbon's special doesn't change. Cocoa's DID though!
12:11 <Cepheid> I'm surprised he hasn't added a randomizer yet.
12:11 <Cepheid> A true randomizer.
12:11 <ConfusionRift> Do you remember in Thunder Force 4, where there are gunship that shoot towards your position from the foreground?
12:12 <Cepheid> I'm going to be dead honest here, I have never actually finished Thunder Force 4.
12:12 <Cepheid> The only Thunder Force I ever finished was 5.
12:13 <Cepheid> But I am familiar with the enemy type you mentioned from other games.
12:15 <RazorSharpFang> Made my first big uranium delivery from Neeunvar. It's looking good.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> It would be Stage 3 (left hand choice). https://youtu.be/lHtE70zQo-Q?t=571
12:16 <Cepheid> Ah, those.
12:17 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm familiar with the mechanic.
12:18 *** Joins: ConfusionRift2 (ConfusionRi@Pony-8gr.g9o.6.154.IP)
12:18 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift2
12:18 <ConfusionRift2> Also... I didn't know that if you moved too fast, they would never get a lock on, so they never fire. Huh.
12:18 * Schism awakens. Reads a few things, and blinks.
12:18 *** Quits: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-bkl.g9o.6.154.IP) (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by ConfusionRift2!ConfusionRi@Pony-8gr.g9o.6.154.IP)))
12:18 *** ConfusionRift2 is now known as ConfusionRift
12:19 <ConfusionRift> In any case, those, x20, and locking on with full force homing at you. THAT'S Cocoa's new attack. :P
12:19 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:20 * ConfusionRift forgot he has a mod on, and he occasionally uses Ribbon as a mallet.
12:22 <Cepheid> I kinda want to work on a SHMUP game now. Mostly because I know that's a game type I can make.
12:23 <Cepheid> Partly because A) I am listening to TF5's soundtrack, and B) I want to do a reference to stage 5's opening in TF5.
12:23 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj_I5DzGrnM
12:23 <Cepheid> Oh, wait.
12:23 <Cepheid> That's a full run.
12:24 <ConfusionRift> Sure is. I can just look for it. :P
12:24 <Cepheid> https://youtu.be/gj_I5DzGrnM?t=924
12:25 <ConfusionRift> Ah yes, the point to upgrade and send them flying to pieces.
12:26 <ConfusionRift> ...and where you deal with the ol' ship from TF4, Rynex.
12:26 <Cepheid> While upgrading the ship itself.
12:27 <Cepheid> I'm amazed at how much of a reputation the Fire LEO-04 received.
12:28 <Cepheid> Mind, it's design is pretty interesting.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> Haven't played TF6, but apparently, it brings back Styx, Rynex, and Bridandine in a similar showdown.
12:29 <Cepheid> It does.
12:29 <Cepheid> Larger versions of them, at that.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> *Brigandine
12:30 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z_zQqEx7Dc
12:30 <Cepheid> It even includes ORN Faust.
12:31 * ConfusionRift just had tuned to that video. :P
12:31 <ConfusionRift> Always Stage 5, huh.
12:31 <Schism> These two. (CW: F-word.) https://twitter.com/HoshMyTots/status/1387341186738786305
12:32 <ConfusionRift> Wait... isn't that... Cerberus?
12:32 <Finwe> Kerberos the dog?
12:33 <Finwe> The three-headed dog.
12:33 <Cepheid> In this case, no. Cerberus is the name of a warship used by the ORN Empire in the Thunderforce series.
12:33 <Schism> Finwe: Mistakenly believed to be a translation of 'spotted'. >.>
12:33 <Cepheid> But no, ConfusionRift, that's not Cerberus. At least, not the original.
12:33 <ConfusionRift> "In both Thunder Force VI and Thunder Force IV a new, improved version of Cerberus named Cerberus II appears, replacing the old model from III. This new version serves not only as a battle cruiser but also as a carrier. "
12:34 <Cepheid> The original was destroyed in 3, if I recall the lore correctly.
12:34 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
12:34 <Cepheid> Hence "Not the original"
12:35 <Finwe> Schism: Indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus#Etymology
12:35 <ConfusionRift> But... (bumps) I meant more of a Cerberus. Because, as you mentioned, the original got destroyed by Styx in 3.
12:35 <Cepheid> Right.
12:35 <Cepheid> But yes, it's a Cerberus.
12:35 <Finwe> Styx the river of Hades?
12:36 <Cepheid> Again, no. Styx in this context is a space fighter craft.
12:36 <ConfusionRift> Yeees, it's all symbolic. This series likes that. Actually, most shmups do.
12:36 <Finwe> Hades the netherworld, not Hades the god of Netherworld.
12:36 <Finwe> It's the same with Germanic Hel and Hel.
12:37 <Cepheid> I dunno, the god of the underworld probably makes a river once in a while after a night out drinking themselves to near-death.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> This Styx. https://thunderforce.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_LEO-03_%22Styx%22
12:37 * Cepheid gets shot.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> This Cerberus. https://thunderforce.fandom.com/wiki/Cerberus
12:37 <Schism> Cerberus is indeed a good puppy. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/Hades-et-Cerberus-III.jpg
12:38 <Cepheid> The breed of Cerberus is never actually specified. For all we know, he's a three-headed chihuahua.
12:38 <Finwe> Schism: They never learnt how to make the arms durable enough.
12:38 <Cepheid> https://www.deviantart.com/geek-in-it/art/Cerberus-Chihuahua-275659545
12:38 <Cepheid> Terrifying.
12:39 <ConfusionRift> That looks like something from Courage, the Cowardly Dog. :P
12:39 <Cepheid> Indeed.
12:39 * Schism watches absolutely nothing bad ever happen to Eustace and Miriam.
12:40 * ConfusionRift watches the first boss appear. "YOOUUUU!!!" Also watches it last 10 seconds. "Niiiice."
12:40 <Cepheid> I actually haven't seen that show in years.
12:41 <RazorSharpFang> I'm noticing a lot of the city councils being negligent in keeping their trees pruned properly. Trucks that are completely road-worthy are clipping trees and causing accidents.
12:41 <Cepheid> Fun.
12:41 <RazorSharpFang> Sometimes you can't walk on the footpath because the bush is just like "My area now" and you have to walk on the road.
12:41 <RazorSharpFang> But there's a curb there, what's someone who's ambulant supposed to do?
12:42 <Finwe> Ambulate.
12:42 <RazorSharpFang> Dang it.
12:42 * Finwe circumambulates RazorSharpFang.
12:42 <RazorSharpFang> Yet somehow despite all of this negligence council rates are at an inflation-adjusted all-time high?
12:43 <Schism> Here, there's a section of the street where the construction of a 12-story building (!) has had the sidewalk blocked for... ages.
12:44 <RazorSharpFang> I want to know what the heck the councils are doing.
12:44 <Finwe> Wasting public money.
12:44 <ConfusionRift> You know what that reference stage tells me? No matter how much they know, and how hard they try to copy the pilots and their ships, they will never be as good as they were.
12:44 <Schism> Ouch. http://freefall.purrsia.com/
12:45 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: Yerp.
12:45 <Schism> (And the one before. Poor Florence, going all the way out there to try and salvage something, only to realize that it's unsalvageable.)
12:45 <Finwe> It's easier to make poor investments if you mainly invest somebody else's money without any danger of consequences if the investment decision is poor.
12:45 <RazorSharpFang> The lack of consequences part is probably the biggest factor.
12:46 <Schism> Finwe! Are you implying that a sense of fiscal responsibility is required to be fiscally responsible?! Why, that goes against every principle of modern economics.
12:46 <Finwe> Also, large investments are easier to get through because people tend not to intervene if the sum is larger than anything they've ever dealt with.
12:46 <Cepheid> Which is interesting because my field has something akin to a sort of economics class, in the form of risk management, which teaches us stuff contrary to modern economics.
12:47 <Cepheid> That's probably why there's so much conflict between my field and upper managements.
12:47 <RazorSharpFang> What sort of stuff are you talking about?
12:48 <Cepheid> Cost estimation of projects in terms of time and money, ethics, stuff like that.
12:48 <Schism> Also, panel 3. http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2500/fc02414.htm
12:48 <Finwe> A good example is from a council meeting in our capital. The council accepted and investment of €572 million without a single question, and later on ended up arguing for hours about €20,000 for getting new coffee sets to nursing homes.
12:49 <RazorSharpFang> I mean, when you said modern economics I thought you were talking about national fiscal policies.
12:49 <Schism> Finwe: Oh, yes, I remember that case brought up in a few papers.
12:50 <Schism> RSF: Oh, I mean large sums of money for public or semi-public projects, or even private ones, handled by those who should under no circumstances be allowed to change a ten-spot.
12:50 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang: Nah. Nothing serious like that. But basically, the cost estimation stuff contradicts what people in business programs learn in economics and such.
12:51 <RazorSharpFang> Didn't you just say you learned this in economics?
12:51 <Cepheid> No, this was a general software engineering course.
12:51 <Cepheid> We learn a bunch of things like this in that particular course.
12:51 <RazorSharpFang> What's the class name incidentally? Is it Software Project Management or something similar?
12:52 <Cepheid> I don't recall the exact name, it was years ago when I took it.
12:52 <Cepheid> But it's basically project analysis, design and management, yes.
12:52 <Cepheid> The core detail we came away from the course with was to estimate the financial and time costs higher than they need to be.
12:52 <Cepheid> To account for mistakes, setbacks and the like.
12:53 <Cepheid> Our goal wasn't to minimize the costs.
12:53 <Finwe> We have risk analysis under applied mathematics and financial engineering under industrial engineering and management.
12:53 <Cepheid> But to make sure we had enough resources to complete the job.
12:53 <Cepheid> But that stuff contradicts business behaviour.
12:53 <Finwe> And the school of economics probably has something as well.
12:53 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, that makes sense. How does that contradict modern economics?
12:53 <Cepheid> Because economics looks to minimize losses, not increase them.
12:54 <RazorSharpFang> I don't think overestimating the cost actually increases the final cost.
12:54 <Finwe> The main goal of economic activity carried out by rational individuals is to maximise profit.
12:54 <Schism> Various modern schools of economics are of the opinion that the purpose of a corporation is to make money, and the purpose of a public project is to perform work for the least cost possible -- on paper.
12:54 <RazorSharpFang> Estimates are not actuals.
12:54 <Cepheid> It is if there's an up-front investment involved, which in our field there usually is.
12:55 <Cepheid> You have to set aside money to complete it.
12:55 <Cepheid> If there's money left over, great.
12:55 <Cepheid> But until the project's done, that money can't be touched.
12:56 * Schism coughs, mutters something about crunch time for salaried workers.
12:56 <Cepheid> That's because that's where the business idea of minimizing losses comes into play.
12:56 <Schism> Yep.
12:57 <Cepheid> Speaking of crunch, apparently game development jobs also pay little. Right now, people are actively making game development out to be a job one doesn't want, and are discouraging people from getting into it.
12:57 <RazorSharpFang> Yes, but the costs associated with a team construction and deconstruction are pretty high too, especially if it's an entire department or Pty Ltd. It's more cost efficient to overestimate and potentially overcharge on a project than tank the entire Pty Ltd.
12:57 <Cepheid> Which is discouraging for other reasons.
12:58 <RazorSharpFang> There's never been a better time to go indie than the present.
12:58 <Schism> The old management saying, "Underpromise, but overdeliver."
12:58 <Schism> Which has never really been a thing with the gaming industry, but still.
12:58 <Cepheid> Well, it's just..
12:58 <Cepheid> Okay, fine. But could you not make me feel bad for deciding to get into it?
12:59 <RazorSharpFang> Indie dev yeah?
12:59 <Cepheid> More or less at this point.
12:59 <Cepheid> But it's just silly how things are right now.
12:59 <RazorSharpFang> Indie dev yeah!
13:00 <Cepheid> You're criticized for not having a job. You get a job, and it's one you want, but then you're criticized for having that particular kind of job.
13:00 <Cepheid> What is even the point in doing anything anymore?
13:00 <Cepheid> People are going to criticize you regardless of what you do.
13:00 <Cepheid> Damned if you do anything, damned if you don't do anything.
13:00 <RazorSharpFang> I like to try and minimize suffering in the world.
13:01 <Cepheid> Eh..
13:01 <Cepheid> It's just this gets to me because of my mental illnesses.
13:01 <Cepheid> I knowingly take things harder than I should, and it's not something I can actively control.
13:01 <Cepheid> So when I get criticized for not doing A, and then get criticized for when I do A, it hits harder than it should.
13:02 <Cepheid> And of course, I can't just tell them to shut up, because nah, that's impolite and WRONG.
13:03 <Cepheid> I gotta hear their opinions, their thoughts of me. If I don't, I'm in the wrong, because I'm silencing them and their FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS YO!
13:03 <Cepheid> God damned fucking idiots, all of them.
13:03 * Cepheid twitches.
13:04 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, about half of people are less smart than average.
13:07 <Cepheid> It's just so damned tiresome. I have problems controlling my emotions, and my empathy seems completely out of control. So being inundated with a deluge of hypercritical, aggravating people, and a deluge of depressing, sad, and frustrating news is just..
13:07 <Cepheid> I'd just love to go a day where I don't see news about the next latest horrific crime, accident, or disaster that has happened in the US.
13:07 <Cepheid> Rest of the world I'm fine with.
13:07 <Cepheid> But the US is basically nothing but one big blob of negativity that surpasses everything else in the world.
13:08 <Cepheid> I have things I need to do, want to do. I can't spend all my time paralyzed by frustrating news and people.
13:11 <RazorSharpFang> Things to be, places to do.
13:13 <Cepheid> Violence. Violence will solve everything.
13:14 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Fluttershy Day Discussion - Character Development, Episode Ideas and More! [ https://tinyurl.com/ygkugkv7 ]
13:14 <RazorSharpFang> Ah if that were true history would be very different.
13:15 <Cepheid> I mean, if I wipe out all of humanity, there's no problems anymore.
13:15 <RazorSharpFang> Yes. You have achieved a little good, for the highest cost possible.
13:16 * Schism grinds a little to get more mushrooms. Important that Neku be fed as much cordyceps fungus as possible.
13:17 <Cepheid> He's eating a parasitic fungus, that can't be safe.
13:17 <Schism> It's funny. It increases Bravery by 50 points per nom, which lets him wear all sorts of clothing.
13:19 <RazorSharpFang> There's some things that I will never find not funny. Like referring to Dark Souls as "Fashion Souls" because of how little difference armor makes.
13:20 <Cepheid> ...
13:20 <Cepheid> Except, it does make a difference.
13:20 <Cepheid> The people who argue it doesn't aren't using it properly, then.
13:21 <RazorSharpFang> Definitely less difference than the weapon makes. DS3 made changes to poise too.
13:21 <Schism> This is a comparatively modern Squeenix game, so... ooh, that's how I get that Tektite.
13:22 <Cepheid> I need to play through the Dark Souls series again.
13:22 <Cepheid> Do all the DLC this time around too.
13:25 <RazorSharpFang> I clocked my heart rate recently. 52 BPM.
13:26 <Cepheid> Better than me.
13:27 <RazorSharpFang> I mean, are you sure? 52 BPM is low enough that I got a concerned look from the person taking the measurement and did a re-test for.
13:28 <RazorSharpFang> I'm at risk of fainting, so I'm not allowed to be a pilot.
13:28 <Cepheid> Mine averages 80-90.
13:29 <RazorSharpFang> That is on the high side. I have to be careful to not stand up too quick or I'm at risk of blacking out.
13:29 <RazorSharpFang> Low heart rate, low blood pressure.
13:30 <Schism> High blood pressure, high heart rate... low sodium, and all manner of fun stuff here.
13:31 <Cepheid> Interestingly, last blood test showed everything was in good shape, blood-wise, including pressure and pulse.
13:31 <RazorSharpFang> Did you get like, a peltier monitor?
13:32 <Cepheid> I have no idea what that is.
13:32 <Cepheid> Well, my blood was good except for the A1C.
13:32 <RazorSharpFang> It's a thing they put on your chest to check the heart movements.
13:32 <Cepheid> That was high, but being diabetic that's normal.
13:32 <Cepheid> Ah, those.
13:32 <RazorSharpFang> I had one of those because of my low pulse and blood pressure.
13:32 <Cepheid> Yeah, I've had my heart checked out and other stuff in all sorts of ways.
13:32 <Cepheid> It's one of those things they checked along with my head when we were trying to discern the cause of my headaches.
13:33 <Cepheid> The only abnormality noticed in regards to that was slightly elevated cerbralspinal fluid pressure.
13:33 <Cepheid> Slightly. Not enough to warrant the migraines.
13:33 <RazorSharpFang> I got a referral to a cardiologist for my low heart stuffs, but the cardiologist did the tests and said "Your heart's fantastic. Don't stand up too fast and take the stairs slow"
13:33 <RazorSharpFang> At least we ruled out a bunch of theoretical bad stuff.
13:34 <Cepheid> Heh.
13:34 <Cepheid> Really, the biggest issue for me other than all the unexplained problems is the weight. I'm overweight.
13:36 <Cepheid> Pretty much everything except the headaches and coughing is directly related to the fact that I'm slightly overweight, but I have no family history of various problems relating to weight, blood pressure, pulse, cerebralspinal fluid, brain aneurysms, and the like.
13:36 <RazorSharpFang> Difficult to do anything about that fast, if at all sometimes.
13:36 <Cepheid> Except the diabetes. Family history of that. And the mental illness.
13:37 <Cepheid> As for the weight, I can manage that with daily exercise.
13:38 <Cepheid> And my body rebels even against that with breathing troubles. o3o
13:39 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe you could try low intensity exercises that are made up of slow movements.
13:39 <RazorSharpFang> That may take a mental toll.
13:39 <Finwe> But diabetes is not genetic.
13:40 <Finwe> Except the second type.
13:40 <RazorSharpFang> I think it has risk factors of the second type?
13:40 <Cepheid> I have the second type.
13:41 <Cepheid> And there's an increased risk if I have a parent that has it, and both my parents do.
13:41 <Cepheid> So I was all-but-gauranteed to develop it.
13:41 <Cepheid> It was more a matter of "when" rather than "if"
13:41 <Cepheid> On the other hand, my case is minor. It can be controlled via medication.
13:42 <Finwe> Diabetes is actually the name for the symptoms and not the actual disease.
13:43 <Schism> Okay, am I an idiot?
13:43 <Schism> Get a psychokinesis power. When fully loaded, you can pick up enemies. So of course I go, 'Well, I can now smash enemies into other enemies.' Which deals like 8 damage.
13:43 <Finwe> In the classical sense I think you are.
13:44 <Schism> Thanks.... I think.
13:44 <Finwe> In modern sense, though…
13:44 <Schism> Well, I'm possibly an idiot in the modern sense.
13:44 <Schism> Anyway, the actual use of the power is to let you reposition enemies so that you can perform spectacular combos on the lot of them.
13:45 * Cepheid notices Schism playing a game on Switch, checks. Yep. TWEWI.
13:45 <Schism> Eyup.
13:45 <Finwe> "Idiot" means roughly the same as "individual".
13:45 <RazorSharpFang> All individuals are bad.
13:45 <Cepheid> Finwe, what did I say about being overly pedantic?
13:46 * ConfusionRift grabs a piece of debris, throws it at an enemy, grabs the unconscious enemy, and throws them at another enemy.
13:46 <Finwe> 'Twas used in Greek city states to describe someone who did not participate in public affairs.
13:47 * Cepheid carves exploding badgers.
13:48 <RazorSharpFang> The best kind
13:48 <Finwe> Reminds me of the badger video.
13:48 * Cepheid captures an antidobra. And then gathers some mushrooms.
13:49 <Finwe> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyixC9NsLI
13:49 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Badgers
13:49 <Cepheid> Heeeeey there Maggie. I'm gonna leave you be.
13:49 <ConfusionRift> It's been a while.
13:50 * Cepheid finds a random relic record.
13:50 <RazorSharpFang> I can't believe how high Vale SA stock price is, given how poorly Brazil is doing in the pandemic.

13:52 <RazorSharpFang> That... does remind me of a story about a woman scared of being outed by a dog that barks only at men...
13:52 * Cepheid prepares three poison talismans to be made.
13:52 <Cepheid> Let's hope I get a Lv3 poison resist talisman. o3o
13:53 * Cepheid needs... bnahabra wings. Great.
13:54 * ConfusionRift throws poison bombs everywhere. He isn't sure it's the best thing for the environment, but he needs them wings.
13:55 * Cepheid pulls out a gun and poison ammo.
13:55 <Cepheid> I can't wait for an armor set with the appropriate skill.
13:55 <Cepheid> Please tell me that exists in Rise..
13:55 <ConfusionRift> What exactly?
13:56 <Cepheid> Entomologist.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> I normally just use some weak poison blade.
13:56 <Cepheid> It doesn't seem to exist under that name according to Kiranico, so if the skill exists, it's got a new name.
13:56 <ConfusionRift> It is still there.
13:57 <Cepheid> Then Kiranico either doesn't have info on it due to early version of the databases, or... It's under a new name.
13:58 <Cepheid> Fortunately there's a quest to hunt bnahabra, so..
13:58 <Cepheid> Geezus poison hurts them a lot.
13:58 <ConfusionRift> ...
13:59 <Cepheid> The shot does 1 damage.
13:59 <Cepheid> The poison does 30.
13:59 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
14:00 <ConfusionRift> And there is a bug quests, which include bhanabras in the early lists. Alas, it's just by chance you might get wings or not.
14:00 <ConfusionRift> Also, kunais seem to sometimes do just enough damage.
14:00 <Cepheid> Guess what I neeeed!
14:00 <Cepheid> Wings and such.
14:01 <ConfusionRift> I say chance, because my horrible luck has netted me none the majority of the time.
14:01 <ConfusionRift> Then again, my luck has made hunts a chore.
14:02 <Cepheid> Note to self: Put pets away when hunting bugs with poison.
14:02 <Cepheid> They just destroyed one.
14:02 <ConfusionRift> That is highly suggested. Or tell them to just attack large monster and not bother with fodder.
14:03 <Cepheid> I typically have them prioritize small first.
14:03 <Cepheid> So that they take care of the small fry while I fight the large fry.
14:07 <Cepheid> So, here's a thing.
14:08 <Cepheid> We know for a fact they're doing a PC version.
14:08 * ConfusionRift nods.
14:08 <Cepheid> Would it kill Capcom(And possibly Nintendo) to implement keyboard and mouse controls for the game on the Switch?
14:08 * ConfusionRift shrugs, he plays World with a controller.
14:08 <Cepheid> It's not even a competitive game, so the addition wouldn't change the dynamics.
14:09 <Cepheid> I play World with keyboard/mouse, and I'm used to it.
14:10 <Cepheid> There, Secta Nulo R.
14:10 <ConfusionRift> Ohhh nooo. The bug weapons.
14:12 <Cepheid> I wanted the fire one.
14:12 <Cepheid> Best fire weapon I can find at the moment.
14:12 * Cepheid goes after Royal Ludroth for water weapon parts.
14:14 * ConfusionRift sighs at the poison weapons.
14:15 * Schism eats more french fries for +def.
14:15 <ConfusionRift> Maybe I should actually go after Rathian.
14:21 <Cepheid> One Royal Ludroth down.
14:21 <Cepheid> Rathian actually isn't that bad in the village, Rifty.
14:22 <ConfusionRift> It isn't.
14:22 <ConfusionRift> I have had little problems with hunts. Most of my cartings have been me being dumb.
14:22 <ConfusionRift> And that blast-off from Magnamalos.
14:29 * ConfusionRift scratches his chin... he has fought Rathian. He just needs parts for weapons.
14:29 <ConfusionRift> Because screw that armor. Freakin' plates.
14:30 <Schism> Gonna be a while before I can get Black Jupiter.

15:09 <Schism> I am not eating good food. :<
15:09 <Finwe> How so?
15:11 * RazorSharpFang images good food in front of Schism, that Schism is abstaining from.
15:11 <RazorSharpFang> That was supposed to be imagines.
15:12 * Finwe offers pytt i panna with fried egg to Schism nevertheless.
15:20 <Schism> I'm eating, because I am quite tired, a bowl of ramen noodles with various mixed vegetables and some cheese.
15:24 <Finwe> It's not entirely unlike pytt i panna. o3o

15:25 * uni smells ramen
15:25 <Finwe> And served, as stated, with fried eggs.
15:26 <Finwe> Did I mention onion?
15:26 <Finwe> Onion is an essential part of pytt i panna.

17:20 <Ali> Yeah, but currently EDST
17:20 <Finwe> We don't have DS, we have S instead.
17:20 <uni> daylight saving time is a mess, in my opinion
17:20 * uni pulls out his soapbox
17:21 <Finwe> And even that was supposed to be abolished, but I'
17:21 <Ali> Well the state used to not have DST, not until Pence shoved it onto everyone

17:25 <Finwe> We adopted the summer time madness in 1981.
17:25 <Ali> I thought DST was juat a thing to give farmers an 'extra hour' of field time
17:26 <Finwe> I fail to see how it would do that?
17:26 <Finwe> s/\?/\./
17:26 <Ali> Like I said, not 100% sure
17:27 <Ali> I really don't understand extending daylight to 10pm
17:27 <Finwe> The sun is above the horizon when it is above the horizon and that's it.

17:28 <Ali> I was always a mathhead anyway
17:28 <Ali> Did algebra 2 with no calculator
17:28 <Finwe> Well, I'm a mathematician.
17:30 <Finwe> I was 18th in the mathematics contest for high school students in the whole country.
17:31 <Ali> I was explaining things to my mom about the basic multiplication table
17:31 <Ali> Cause she asked me about the whole count backwards from 100 by sevens thing
17:31 <Ali> And I just enjoy math more than language
17:31 <Finwe> And I did Algebra 2 with no calculator at the university, but that's mostly because calculator is completely useless in algebra.
17:32 * Pony|13708 adds 2 and 2 and gets 5.
17:32 <Ali> To a point yes it is, until you know how to plug in X Y and/or Z

17:33 <Ali> Though if you did the work right in the first place it should be right
17:34 <Finwe> The problems in the exam were like "Prove that the minimum polynomial in a Galois field defined by … is given as …".

20:02 <Cepheid> Sounds complicated.
20:03 <PinkieShy> Planning on getting a membership at the gym
20:03 <uni> imagine exercising
20:03 <PinkieShy> Planet fitness being they have more equipment.. Which will help with my goal :)
20:03 <PinkieShy> I'm going to try to get back into normal weight by the end of 2021..

20:09 <PinkieShy> Honestly for me to be in a healthy weight range.. I would probably need to lose about 50 pounds..
20:09 <Cepheid> I only need to lose 20 myself.
20:09 <PinkieShy> Which is a lot of weight..
20:10 <PinkieShy> $10 a month can't really beat that tbh..
20:12 *** Crimson_Ta1l is now known as Crimson_Tail
20:12 <Cepheid> You can lose weight. Just requires controlling your eating habits better and exercising.
20:12 <Cepheid> No snacking, basically, to start with.
20:20 <Finwe> I'm about 75 kg and 1.83 metres tall.
20:20 <Finwe> I guess that's about acceptable.
20:21 <Schism> This seems about right. http://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/comic/2102-the-lid/
20:22 <Finwe> Cepheid: Snacking as such is not to be frowned upon, just make sure that you eat something like radishes or Brussels sprouts.
20:23 <Cepheid> Cauliflower for me.
20:23 <Finwe> or cauliflower or broccoli
20:23 <Schism> Mmm, veggie platter...
20:23 <Finwe> Both are quite delicious and very good sources of vitamin C.
20:23 <Schism> Celery with peanut butter for me. Though I know, peanut butter is not ideal.
20:24 <Cepheid> Better than say, cheeze whiz.
20:24 <Schism> ... http://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/comic/2099-scroll/
20:25 <Finwe> Peanuts are good if a lot of energy is needed, they have something like 2.5 MJ per 100 grammes.
20:25 <Finwe> Or was it 2.6 MJ?
20:25 * Schism will on occasion just nom down on a spoonful of peanut butter.
20:26 <Schism> Okay. First three panels are definitely me. I used to live in a neighborhood and was one day like... "Wait, when did that house on the end of the street get put up?" And then the fourth panel is subtle. http://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/comic/2098-when/

20:32 <LibrarianofHope> like, if it really went all out?
20:33 <Schism> Functionally speaking, it's impossible to say. Destruction is a sort of chaos, but it leads readily to entropy and order, rendering it antithetical to Discord's existence.

20:49 <LibrarianofHope> never heard of bojangles

20:49 <LibrarianofHope> we even have mud coccon style
20:50 <PinkieShy> Bojangles is like KFC but better :P
20:50 <LibrarianofHope> its neat, you use a specisl type of mud, make a cocon over a chicken wrappked in silver paper thing
20:50 <LibrarianofHope> its tasty
20:51 <PinkieShy> I haven't had KFC since last year this time.. KFC was so not editable to me that the chicken was rubbery when chewing..
20:51 <PinkieShy> Bojangles hasn't done that to me yet.. Only thing they have done is accidentally given me a thigh instead of the chicken breast i ordered.
20:51 <LibrarianofHope> we have a lot of rottiseries

21:28 <Finwe> I don't feel like especially tall.
21:31 <Cepheid> I'm actually taller than Finwe. 185cm. Or 1.85m.
21:31 <Schism> 180cm or thereabouts here...
21:31 * Schism is lanky.
21:31 <LibrarianofHope> i think im 1.87
21:32 <LibrarianofHope> maybe
21:32 <LibrarianofHope> im tall but havent measured in ages
21:33 * uni blinkblinks, everyone is so tall
21:33 * uni is like 1.76
21:33 <Schism> Frankly, while it's helpful for reaching stuff on the top shelf, I'd rather be a bit shorter.
21:34 <uni> relatable~
21:34 <Schism> (It'd make it easier to get a wardrobe going soon, too.)
21:34 <uni> when I was still serving in a SOC, it was so inconvenient to be tall during night duty
21:34 <uni> it's like the difference between being able to sprawl out on two chairs versus three
21:35 <uni> ooh Schism that's also relatable!

21:35 <LibrarianofHope> i desgined my library/studio, so its to my height
21:41 * Finwe shakes his hoof in the general direction of a helicopter making a lot of noise somewhere nearby.
21:46 <uni> ooh a low-flying one?
21:47 <Finwe> Obviously, i can hear it very well.
21:51 <uni> how exciting~
21:53 <Finwe> It could be at the university hospital, they sometimes bring in extremely urgent cases with a helicopter.
21:53 <Schism> Medevacs are certainly a thing, and they do fly lower...
21:53 <Finwe> That's like 1.5 kilometres from where I live.
22:01 <uni> ah how quaint~ The radio playing the national anthem at 6 on the dot
22:02 <Finwe> “Teppic had learned many things since he first went forth from the Old Kingdom, and he was about to learn one more. All authorities agree that when crossing the scorching desert it is a good idea to wear a hat.”
22:02 * Finwe dons his hat.
22:02 * uni perches atop Finwe's hat. Double-hat
22:03 <Finwe> o3o
22:03 * Cepheid just vibrates and disappears under the sand.
22:03 * Cepheid pops out nearby.
22:03 * Schism shoots a screamer pod at Cepheid.
22:03 * LibrarianofHope thums rhytmically, summons shai hulud
22:03 <LibrarianofHope> the spice must flow
22:04 * Cepheid flops out of the sand and flails about from the pain of the screamer pod.
22:04 <Schism> Always gotta carry a bunch of those when facing a Diablos. o3o;
22:05 <LibrarianofHope> everything at once
22:06 <LibrarianofHope> just get me some cars and ill mad max
22:06 * LibrarianofHope could do a good inmortan joe
22:06 * Schism hums. Should find some Hard Corehogs to fight so that she can stock up on Tektite, a valuable material indeed.
22:06 <LibrarianofHope> i watched monster hunter the movie
22:06 <LibrarianofHope> its a horror movie mostly
22:06 <LibrarianofHope> which is weird
22:07 <Cepheid> For arachnophobes yeah.
22:07 <Cepheid> All the Nerscylla.
22:08 <LibrarianofHope> yeah
22:09 <LibrarianofHope> it think they made a decent attempt at making sense
22:09 <LibrarianofHope> its not a game that lends to a plot much
22:09 <LibrarianofHope> especially cause if you add permadeath to the thing it becomes way different
22:10 <Cepheid> Mmm. Strangely, World had a lot of plot to it. But yeah. It's mostly about fighting monsters, making fancy clothes from them, and fighting bigger monsters.
22:11 <Cepheid> I guarantee none of the hunters died. They were carted off somewhere offscreen and recovered just fine. The rangers though...
22:13 <Cepheid> Hunters don't die. They just get picked up, decrispified or depoisoned or destingered and get thrown unceremoniously onto the cold harsh ground of the nearest camp.
22:15 <Cepheid> When they die of old age, a cat comes along with a cart, defibs the corpse, then tosses it into the nearest camp. Even if the hunter died in their home.

22:42 * Ali is annoyed with EqD saying a comic is out, but when she goes to the comic shop, it is not out yet.
22:43 <LibrarianofHope> sethisto strikes
22:43 * LibrarianofHope polishes ali
22:44 * Ali squeaks and whines
22:59 <Schism> Me, before the fight: "Oh god, Corvus noise, I'm never coming back here again, ever." Me, after the fight: "Did I just get 17 tektite in one fight?"

23:56 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:56 <Cepheid> His legacy continues.
23:57 <Lumindia_> ... oh no, did he get added to Rise?
23:57 <Cepheid> He did.
23:57 <Lumindia_> does he at least have his music?
23:57 <Cepheid> A remix of it, yes.
23:57 <Lumindia_> I'll allow this, then
23:58 <Cepheid> It is one of the defining traits of the goose. So it had to go in.
