00:16 * Ali squeaks at the Lumindia and snugs them
00:16 <Lumindia> I find it wild that people STILL speedrun Doom even today

00:26 * Schism grumbles loudly at Taboo Noise.
00:29 <Ali> Lumindia, people speed run Super Mario Bros
00:30 * Schism then blinks. "Oh right, pill time."
00:36 <PinkieShy> Got to see what walmart does in cities where they have a single use plastic bag ban
00:37 <PinkieShy> Apparently the walmart in the city with that had these green colored text walmart bags that says can reused up to 120 times
00:37 <PinkieShy> Its not like cloth based at all its still plastic based it feels to me but very very thick
00:37 <PinkieShy> Going to reuse it 100% though..
00:56 * Schism hums at TWEWY. Considers mastering more pins which won't be evolving.
00:57 <Schism> Well, I should hold off until post-game when I can select whatever chapter I want. o3o
01:01 * Cepheid consumes sleep meds. Whee.
01:01 <Schism> Hmm. Choices, choices. Could get the Hollow Leg sticker. o3o
01:04 <Finwe> “—should’ve been six dollars, but he said he’d cut his own throat and sell it me for three dollars—”
01:05 <Finwe> o3o
01:05 * Finwe sleepily noms on Ali's tail.

01:06 <Schism> Ah yes, Disembowel-Myself-Honorably Dhibbala.
01:07 <Finwe> The first time CMOT Dibbler is mentioned.
01:07 <Finwe> In Guards! Guards!
01:09 * Cepheid offers Schism a hot lemon and a sword and shield made from Mizutsune. It looks like a Japanese-style fan.
01:12 <Schism> The reveal on 3.5 of TWEWY is much more creepy in this version for some reason. o3o;
01:12 * Schism sips the sword and shield, and attacks Kulu-ya-ku with the hot lemon.
01:14 <Cepheid> Heh.
01:14 <Cepheid> I'm building up a set of elemental weapons in GU. Turns out the Fated Four make a good starting point for the four basic elements.
01:14 <Cepheid> Not the strongest, but better than nothing.
01:15 <Schism> Ah. I can't get Hollow Leg until postgame. Darnit.
01:16 <Cepheid> After I get the weapons started, I'll see about getting some armors going. I'll need a gathering set.
01:16 <Cepheid> Let's see what the Dex has to say for armors.

01:21 <Cepheid> Hum, looks like the only useful skills for gathering are Gathering, Honey, Whim, and Charmer. Honey's pretty useless though. So that leaves Gathering, Whim, and Charmer. Maybe Stamina so I can run for longer periods of time.
01:22 <Cepheid> Oh, and Transporter for eggs and such.
01:24 * Schism acquires 100,000 yen from this set of Reapers. "That was a fun little easy fight."
01:24 <Cepheid> Only issue with the Dex... it picked out gear that requires G-rank parts.
01:25 <Schism> Oh, 110,000.
01:27 <Cepheid> ... Heavens help the player who wants to collect every piece of armor in this game.
01:27 <Cepheid> The Dex database says there's over 5,700 pieces of equipment.
01:28 <Schism> @_@
01:35 <Schism> Ohey. Beat fusion level 3.
01:36 <Cepheid> I should go do the daily cat chores, then get in bed. Meds are starting to kick in slowly but surely.
01:38 <Schism> Mmm.
01:39 * Schism urg. "Going through my stockpile of pins once I complete this game and just going to master the whole freaking list." She needs to be careful with the Natural Puppy ones, though.
01:56 * Cepheid digs through a bin that is somehow larger on the inside, and contains way too many different body parts, armors, weapons, and usable items.
01:57 * Schism bumps up her defense some more. "40 baseline, out of a maximum of 99."
02:01 <Cepheid> I should not have taken my seroquel. I want to hunt more, and it feels like it was too early for me to take it anyways.
02:01 <Cepheid> My exhaustion was a factor of breathing troubles.
02:01 <Finwe> “Nobby was outside the Drum, hopping from one foot to another. In times of danger he had a way of propelling himself from place to place without apparently moving through the intervening space which could put any ordinary matter transporter to shame.”
02:03 <Finwe> I wonder whether any ordinary matter transporter is capable of feeling shame.
02:03 <Cepheid> If we ever get that far, I'm sure someone will find a way to make one feel shame, since by that point, coding in emotions into electronics might be a thing.
02:10 * Schism obliterates Sho Minanimoto in a single Fusion. "Well, that worked out okay."
02:11 <Schism> So zetta weak.

08:13 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.
08:14 <Finwe> o7
08:15 * ConfusionRift boops Schism with a Mochi making set, because it's one of the few silly ones he was able to make. :P
08:15 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
08:17 <Schism> Gatito is the thirteenth brand of pins in The World Ends with You, and represents the Cat. The other twelve represent the Chinese zodiac, but the Cat goes his own way. <.<
08:18 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
08:18 * Schism completed the game. So now she's got... well, the rest of the stuff to do in it.
08:18 <ConfusionRift> Not familiar with that one.
08:19 <Schism> S'a kind of half RPG, half brawler sort of thing. Everything's handled on the touchscreen, so you wind up dragging, tapping, and drawing your attacks.
08:24 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7
08:24 <Koopz> did the currently releasing anime inspire you to play it again?
08:25 <Schism> Sorta. More the upcoming sequel.
08:27 <Schism> Am now on the 'pin collection and mastery' part of the postgame, and got the Hollow Leg which will make things rather more straightforward where it comes down to grinding stats up.

09:58 <Cepheid> Or should I say Excitable A-Lister, now?
10:01 <Cepheid> Hum, now I neeeeeeed.... a Gore Magala Feeler. Oh boy.
10:13 <Cepheid> That went better than expected.
10:14 <Cepheid> And with that, I got SnSes with the five elements.
10:30 * ConfusionRift goes do a bit of hunting.
10:32 * ConfusionRift notices his three higher rank armors are weak against lightning... making them an issue with the quest.
10:33 <Cepheid> Eh.
10:33 <Cepheid> Let me guess, targeting Khezu.
10:34 <ConfusionRift> Khezu and Somnocanth.
10:34 <ConfusionRift> No biggie, just a bit annoying. (takes out the shotgun)
10:36 <Cepheid> I need me some dragonite ore to finish off this armor set.
10:36 <ConfusionRift> I think you can get extra with Basarios.
10:36 <Cepheid> Different game in this case, but yeah.
10:36 * Cepheid is playing GU, not Rise.
10:37 <ConfusionRift> Basarios, Gravios, Uragaan, (insert rock monster here).
10:39 * Cepheid fights Akantor.
10:40 <ConfusionRift> I also noticed that yes, Rank 6 is the last on the village list. I just have the hub notification- (hides)
10:41 * Finwe adds mushrooms to his beef Stroganov.
10:41 <Finwe> This is going to be good. o3o
10:42 <Cepheid> Yeah, you can clear 6* village completely and it just blue checkmarks, meaning there is MORE to 6* village, just you need some sort of advancement.
10:42 <Finwe> While it goes on simmering, I have plenty of time to fetch things from the grocery store.
10:42 <Cepheid> Like beer!
10:42 <Finwe> Then I'll add some sour gherkins, cream and smetana.
10:42 <Cepheid> And beer!
10:43 <Finwe> I can brew my own, I don't need to buy any.
10:43 <Finwe> There are more mundane things on my shopping list, like milk, bread and apples.
10:43 <Finwe> And cheese.
10:44 <Cepheid> And bee- *Gets shot*

11:13 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2286 [ https://tinyurl.com/yhkdtetz ]
11:15 <Cepheid> Man, the Wishlist was the greatest innovation in the MH world ever.
11:22 <ConfusionRift> Keeping track of those materials was always a headache.
11:22 <Cepheid> I'm relying on Ping's Dex to get me the list of items I need, and a spreadsheet for keeping track of what I have.
11:23 <ConfusionRift> I... just write it down. Or I did back then.
11:24 <Cepheid> Ping's Dex gets the job done, despite being a bit unweildy and pretty much Windows-only.
11:26 * ConfusionRift just notices the Palico and Palamute armor from Armudron.
11:26 <ConfusionRift> ...I want this.
11:27 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:27 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's impressive.
11:27 <ConfusionRift> Resistances are meh, but that defense!
11:31 <Cepheid> Also looks cool.
11:31 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, I think I know what I'm fighting now. I want that armor. The hunter armor is very ordinary in stats, but it covers what the others I got don't.
11:31 <ConfusionRift> It sure does.
11:31 <ConfusionRift> Especially the Palamute.
11:33 <Cepheid> I'd say "be careful with Almudron" but you've already fought him, so you know what he's like.
11:33 <ConfusionRift> Huge, hard hitting, and can ignore ground physics... and terraform.
11:34 <Cepheid> At least the mud in this game is better than it was in World.
11:34 <ConfusionRift> I bet they say how the big fish changed the terrain in the mud, and based a monster on that alone.
11:35 <Cepheid> All the new monsters are based on youkai. Japanese ghosts and spirits.
11:35 <Cepheid> I don't know what Almudron is based off of though.
11:36 <ConfusionRift> Did notice that, well mostly.
11:36 <ConfusionRift> Magnamalo being the more obvious.
11:37 <ConfusionRift> And I would say Aknosom, but it might be more generic.
11:39 <Cepheid> Aknosom is based off of kasa-obake.
11:40 <Cepheid> Magnamalo is based off of possessed armor. I don't know the Japanese name for it, but the basic gist of it is a samurai killed in a particularly violent and cruel manner will possess it's armor, etc.
11:41 <ConfusionRift> Considering its armor does have a curse, pretty much fits the bill.
11:42 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I expect Kyuubi-no-Kitsune to be the final boss of the game.
11:43 <Cepheid> Like, final final boss, when the last update is done.
11:43 <ConfusionRift> And I believe said armor would haunt whomever took their live, if not, a descendant.
11:44 <ConfusionRift> A kitsune, as the final boss. Hehehe. :P

11:45 <ConfusionRift> Hallo.
11:47 <Cepheid> Interestingly, despite the name kyuubi-no-kitsune(kyuu - 9, bi - tail, no - "<x>-no-<y>" = "x of y", kitsune = fox.), I expect the one that Rise uses to have 5 tails.
11:47 <Lumindia> on a related note, who likes butterfingers?
11:47 * Cepheid raises a hand.
11:47 <Lumindia> I have two bags of butterfingers minis
11:47 <Cepheid> You won't be able to get them to me.
11:47 <Lumindia> I know
11:48 <Cepheid> Sending food across the border is... difficult.
11:48 <Lumindia> it was part of a promotion with FFXIV
11:48 <Cepheid> Ah.
11:48 <Lumindia> buy five dollars of butterfingers products, submit the receipt to a website, and get this mount
11:48 <Lumindia> and yeah, I know sending food is difficult. My father and I work in shipping
11:49 <Cepheid> Ah, heh.
11:49 <Cepheid> First you've mentioned that, to be honest.
11:49 <Lumindia> we also know the other myriad restrictions
11:49 <Lumindia> we're not legally allowed to ship alcohol, for example
11:49 <Lumindia> we're not licensed for it
11:49 * Cepheid hands Lumindia a giant chunk of rock that's on fire. "I need to deliver this to the North Pole."
11:50 <Lumindia> we also don't do international commodities for walk-in customers
11:50 <Lumindia> only for a select few of our regulars
11:50 <Lumindia> Documents are no trouble, though because there's no customs on those
11:50 <Cepheid> Fair 'nough.
11:51 <Lumindia> we even have a few destinations set up in our database because a few of them send to the same place, like the bank of ireland
11:51 <Lumindia> we just pull up 'bank of ireland' in the ID field, and everything's already filled out for us
11:53 <Cepheid> Yerp. Databases are nice for that kind of stuff.
11:58 <Cepheid> Oh, by the by, ConfusionRift.
11:58 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/n4pugy/leaked_trailer_screenshot_for_an_incoming_elder/
11:59 <ConfusionRift> "YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME PARD! NOT IN ANOTHER WORLD, NOR IN ANOTHER LIFE!" :P
11:59 <ConfusionRift> That comment.
11:59 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:00 <ConfusionRift> Heh, ends up being Yamatsukami.
12:00 <Cepheid> Hum. I'm gonna bet that one of the new monsters in May's update will beeeee....
12:00 <Cepheid> Gravios.
12:01 <ConfusionRift> It better! Can't have Basarios without Gravios.
12:02 <ConfusionRift> Wait... if they release it later, that would mean it's on the higher ranks. ...oh no.
12:02 * ConfusionRift twitches at Black Gravios.
12:03 <ConfusionRift> I expect that dumb sweeping laser of death.
12:05 <Cepheid> The SnS is the least-changed weapon going from old to new world.
12:06 <ConfusionRift> What would you change though? o_0
12:06 <Cepheid> All the basic moves are there. Only one attack was changed, and one attack added.
12:06 <Cepheid> Nothing, just commenting.
12:06 <Cepheid> It's exactly the same in GU as it is in Rise and World, mostly.
12:06 <Cepheid> Going from GU to World, the only changes incluuuuude...
12:07 <Cepheid> The charging jump attack has an upwards jumping slash, which can be comboed into either a downwards slash, or a downwards shield bash. Aaaaannnnnddd...
12:07 <ConfusionRift> That's the thing. There really isn't much one can do with it. From what I remember, the slowed it down a bit moving from Portable 2 to Freedom Unite. But that was it.
12:08 <Cepheid> A charged attack that's not fully charged will lead into a combo that grabs onto the monster and does a powerful strike attack, before jumping off of it.
12:08 <Cepheid> That was added in Iceborne.
12:08 <ConfusionRift> Bows and some LBGs got destroyed on that same move.
12:09 <Cepheid> I'm actually kind of surprised that Rise nerfed BGs in the way it did, but... that's the difference between producers for you.
12:10 <Cepheid> Ichinose clearly preferred using skills instead of mods.
12:10 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
12:10 <ConfusionRift> They made movements much faster.
12:11 <Cepheid> I wonder how long before autosheath is re-added to them. I imagine they're getting complaints about that. Though, hard to say.
12:12 <Cepheid> I recall having issues with ranged weapons with respect to the autosheath in World as is.
12:12 <ConfusionRift> I'm just happy they brought back the old Rath LMGs in their old glory. I wasn't happy with their old nerf.
12:13 <ConfusionRift> I don't think they will add it again. If they haven't now, I doubt they will later.
12:13 <Cepheid> I'm also happy they brought back the variations in designs.
12:13 <Cepheid> World... dropped the ball a bit there.
12:13 <ConfusionRift> Yeeep.
12:13 <Cepheid> I wonder if they'll go back to the old Brachy design or use the chicken thighs again.
12:15 <Cepheid> People were NOT happy with that design.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> What I wouldn't want to see if them nerfing stuff again. That would infuriate me. And if I see the Raths getting they affinity and damage chopped again, I WILL stop playing.
12:16 * Cepheid pats ConfusionRift. "No you won't."
12:17 <ConfusionRift> I'm serious. It's been years since then, and I'm still upset about that. -_-
12:17 <Cepheid> In any case, if they aren't nerfed now, they won't get nerfed in the future.
12:17 <Cepheid> Ichinose is... He's the one who did GU, and did the portable games in particular.
12:17 <Cepheid> Which says a lot about what to expect, especially when G-Rank hits.
12:18 <ConfusionRift> We ReMoVeD tHe AuTo PeLlEtS bEcAuSe It WaS a BoThEr! Then why not remove the stupid knockback.
12:19 * Cepheid wonders if Ichinose had anything to do with World, or if he was exclusively tasked with working on Rise.
12:19 * ConfusionRift shakes his head. "That's old news. It shouldn't be an issue now... hopefully."
12:19 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, G-Rank is gonna be slaughter.
12:19 <Cepheid> Doesn't look like it.
12:19 <Cepheid> Yerp.
12:20 <Cepheid> I expect it by the end of the year, to be honest.
12:20 <ConfusionRift> Expect a tiny monster destroying you to absolute bits.
12:21 * ConfusionRift also expects silly quests back.
12:21 <ConfusionRift> That, i wouldn't mind.
12:21 <Cepheid> I am familiar with the difficulty of G-Rank, having reached it in MH4U. And then it's slightly easier cousin in World.

12:24 <Cepheid> Oh my gods Magnamalo has HUMAN EARS AAAHHH.
12:25 <ConfusionRift> Okay, there's no way it has- (spitakes)
12:25 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:25 <ConfusionRift> Those are ear lobes...
12:25 <ConfusionRift> I did not notice that before.
12:26 <Cepheid> Someone on Reddit posted such, and I was incredulous at the time. Then I started paying attention and OH MY GODS.
12:26 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, off topic, but have you taken a look at Chino's paintings in the Plaza?
12:26 <ConfusionRift> ...heh?
12:26 <Cepheid> Go to the buddy plaza, then to the boat.
12:26 <Cepheid> Chino's the painting cat.
12:27 <Cepheid> To his left, there's a bunch of his paintings on show.
12:27 <Cepheid> Take a close look at them.
12:27 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, he did paint some stuff. Maybe I should give it a second look.
12:28 * Cepheid develops new combat tactic: Potion spam.
12:28 <Cepheid> Potion->Roll->Potion->Roll->Potion
12:29 <Cepheid> Because each potion immediately restores a small amount of health, the spam can be somewhat faster at restoring large amounts of health from them, and also more evasive.
12:29 <Cepheid> At, you know, the cost of using more potions.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> Doood.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> I recognize 3/4 of the paintings.
12:30 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:30 <Cepheid> Which one do you not recognize?
12:30 <Cepheid> Oh. Huh.,
12:30 <Cepheid> I was expecting to have to hunt Maggie a few more times for that.
12:30 <Cepheid> Got a plate.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> Left most.
12:30 <Cepheid> Green plains with huts on it?
12:30 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
12:31 <Cepheid> Bherna, from MHX/MHXX/MHG/MHGU.
12:31 <ConfusionRift> Ah, the one I didn't play.
12:31 <Cepheid> GU is basically Old World monster hunter, but with more monsters than you can shake a stick at.
12:31 <Cepheid> Something like 94 monsters to fight.
12:32 <ConfusionRift> Wait... he makes that new illustrations for the monsters and endemic life!
12:32 <Cepheid> Yeh.
12:32 <Cepheid> He does those as well.
12:33 <Cepheid> He's working on the Toadversary. Not sure if it ever progresses any further, but it looks like it does, because I could have sworn what he is working on is getting more "complete" as the story progresses. But I'll have to keep an eye out to make sure.
12:34 <ConfusionRift> Right now, on my side, he's got a base background, the front and top it.
12:35 <Cepheid> Okay, so it doesn't actually progress.
12:35 <Cepheid> 'Cause that's what he's got on my end.
12:36 <Cepheid> Hum...
12:37 <Cepheid> Training is starting to slow down with the cats. A single round barely gets any EXP. That sucks, I was hoping to reach level 35 soon on two cats.
12:37 <ConfusionRift> Just noticed that empty guard post by the outside of the river.
12:38 <Cepheid> WHich area of the village?
12:38 <ConfusionRift> Buddy plaza.
12:39 <Cepheid> Oh, yeah, that.
12:39 <Cepheid> I think that's the Fortress.
12:40 <Cepheid> Hum. One more hunt, then I need to go do chores.
12:40 * Finwe finishes nomming on his lunch.
12:40 *** Joins: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher)
12:41 <Cepheid> Huh. I only need 2 more weapons to round out the SnS rarity 3 collection.
12:41 <Finwe> Miss Angeline, Mr Cepheid.
12:41 * Finwe doffs his hat.
12:41 * Angeline whinnies loudly!
12:41 * Angeline steals Finwe's hat.
12:41 <Finwe> Cepheid: Alright, I boght a can of Irish stout and had it with the beef Stroganov.
12:41 <Cepheid> I was joking.
12:43 * Cepheid drags ConfusionRift along for a fight against Diablos.
12:43 * ConfusionRift screeches. he's likely gonna be bait.
12:44 <Cepheid> You don't look like Artemis to me. :P
12:44 <Cepheid> </MH Movie Reference>
12:46 <Cepheid> The joke here being that at one point, she's used as bait to draw out a particular monster.
12:51 <ConfusionRift> Heh.
12:52 * ConfusionRift is getting flashbacks, of those cannon fodder days.
12:54 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/LuminousOcean/status/1390288934052065284
12:55 <ConfusionRift> That's always nice, a perfect cut on hit. :P
13:00 <Cepheid> Right, all that remains for Rarity 3 weapons or lower is...
13:00 <Cepheid> Lava Pick II, Almudron.
13:00 <Cepheid> But first, chores.
13:00 <Cepheid> I have vacuuming I need to do.
13:01 <Cepheid> I shall be back in about 15-20 minutes. If yer gone by the time I get back, sleep well Rifty.
13:01 <ConfusionRift> I'
13:01 <ConfusionRift> I'll likely be here for a bit longer.
13:29 <Cepheid> I was off by 10 minutes.
13:30 <Cepheid> By the by, if and when you decide to do the 4* Hub Urgent, give me a call. I'm up to doing a rampage.
13:34 <ConfusionRift> Still have to do two assignments to get there.
13:34 <Cepheid> Right.
13:34 * ConfusionRift see the 3rd assignment. "Oh lordyyyyy."
13:34 <Cepheid> Hilariously, while ranking up through the hub involves more monsters..
13:35 <Cepheid> The I find the individual monster hunts and the urgent to be easier than the special license tests.
13:36 <Cepheid> Hmm. Let's see... Break Head. Break Tail. Carve body. Carve tail. Huh, I wasn't aware Almudron's tail could be cut off?
13:36 <ConfusionRift> There is a tail drop.
13:36 <Cepheid> Yeah, and an 80% carve off of something for one item, so then that must be the tail.
13:37 * ConfusionRift nods.
13:37 <Cepheid> Speaking of tails. I am under the suspicion that someone on the team is a fan of Dragon Maid.
13:37 <Cepheid> Because you can cook tails for food and items.
13:37 <ConfusionRift> Buuuut, you could in World.
13:37 <Cepheid> Yeah.
13:37 <Cepheid> I'm just talking in general. Someone on the teams for both games is probably a fan of dragon maid based on that.
13:38 * ConfusionRift shrugs. "Maybe. Hard to say."
13:38 <Cepheid> In the anime/manga, said dragon maid likes to cook her own tail because tails are "sweet and creamy"
13:38 * ConfusionRift is... ahem... aware of this.
13:38 <Cepheid> Heh. :P
13:39 <ConfusionRift> It might be the case, but one can cook other parts for meat and other stuff, like hides and scales.
13:39 <ConfusionRift> And would make sense to dissect a monster's tail for other parts, if the tail is useless... despite it being a rare part.
13:40 <Cepheid> True.
13:40 <Cepheid> Man, I have HR armor on and this Almudron hurts.
13:40 <ConfusionRift> I think Almudron just hurts in general, like Devilj- huush. I mean, Mr. Pickle.
13:41 <Cepheid> Hum, well, to be honest it *IS* 6*. And the usual approximate village<->hub rankings is N - 3, thus, village 6* is approximately equivalent to hub 3*
13:41 <ConfusionRift> Also, *3-4 urgents are Magnamalo, and a rampage with an Apex Arzuros. *3-4 assignments are triple hunts.
13:43 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and Armudron requires green sharpness at minimum, unless one has the skill for the sharpness effectiveness.
13:45 * Cepheid has a blue sharpness weapon. One of the few Rarity 4 weapons they have that they acquired simply due to ease of collection.
13:45 <Cepheid> Annoyingly, I cannot reach the tail.
13:45 <Cepheid> So I won't be able to cut it off.
13:45 * ConfusionRift wonders if they'll decide to bring that stupidly sharp insect blade.
13:46 <Cepheid> I should learn to use the Insect Glaive.
13:48 <ConfusionRift> It was the case for twin blades, long sword, and I think sword and shield.
13:48 <ConfusionRift> It was a purple sharpness blade set.
13:49 <ConfusionRift> And because it was based on bugs only, it was easy to follow the weapon path to the end, before reaching G-Rank.
13:50 <Cepheid> Cute, 17% chance to carve, get the two fins I need.
13:50 <Cepheid> Alas, at the moment, we're stuck to a maximum of white sharpness.
13:52 <Cepheid> And with that, I have at least rarity 3 or higher for every SnS tree.
13:52 <Cepheid> Yes, even the gods be damned Felyne Tree, which required beating up a bunch of felynes.

14:14 <Schism> Cepheid: Unfortunately, dragon tails, much like Rathian tails, are highly poisonous.
14:15 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:15 <Cepheid> And yet we can still cook 'em.
14:15 <Schism> And so Kobayashi is probably not going to be able to nom down... indeed.
14:15 * Cepheid stops gaming for the moment. Feels compelled to do something else.
14:16 <ConfusionRift> Didn't they pointed out that the tail was poisonous to others things aside dragons?
14:16 <ConfusionRift> ...it's been a while. It's kinda foggy.
14:16 <Schism> The anime also showed it literally dripping green poison, so.
14:18 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:19 * ConfusionRift wonders if Yomogi has tripped by cooking mushrooms, or if that explosion at the end was the result of gunpowder.
14:19 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:30 <Cepheid> I generally don't use the wirefall, because I'm not quick enough to DO so.
14:31 <Schism> I've gotten used to wirefalling out after a knockback, which, when I have the muscle memory of a baby seal, tells you how often I get knocked back.
14:33 * Schism considers what to put in her KD. She settles on ham, salsa, and more cheese.
14:35 <Schism> Maybe some corn.
14:37 * ConfusionRift looks at the emails and such. Finally. "Yeah, this will be my last backer project."
14:38 <Schism> Cepheid: as per above, perhaps they decided that since nobody uses the hunting horn...
14:39 <Cepheid> That's also why they reworked the Hunting Horn.
14:39 <Cepheid> And now I do see people using it.
14:40 * Schism nodnods.
14:40 * Finwe offers beef Stroganov with sour gherkins and mashed potatoes to Schism.
14:41 * Schism accepts, and in turn offers Finwe some crispbread with full-sour spicy gherkins and cheddar cheese.
14:41 * Finwe noms on the offered delicacy.
14:42 <Finwe> I only have Danish cream cheese, Austrian alpine cheese and Spanish sheep's milk cheese.
14:42 <Finwe> o3o
14:43 <Finwe> Even though cheddar is the single most popular cheese in the whole world.
14:43 <Finwe> I don't even have Czechoslovakian beaver cheese.
14:43 <Finwe> Neither do I have or am called Wensleydale.
14:44 <Finwe> *nor
14:46 <Schism> "Not around here, sir." "And what is the most popular cheese round here?" "Illchester, sir!" "Is it."
14:47 <Finwe> Ilchester with only one l.
14:48 <Finwe> The cheese has got its name from the village of Ilchester in Somerset.
14:48 <Schism> Ah, yes. Most scripts for whatever reason spell it with two Ls, undoubtedly having been transcribed by folks on this side of the pond.
14:49 <Finwe> Well, it might look like llchester, but the first letter is actually a capital I.
14:49 <Schism> Yes, I got that from the pronounciation.
14:49 <Finwe> http://www.ilchester.co.uk/
14:49 <Finwe> That's their website.
14:50 <Schism> Also, it's Czechoslovokian Sheep's Milk, and Venezuelan Beaver Cheese.
14:51 * Schism rolls a cheese wheel down a 50% gradiant, and people chase after it.
14:52 <Finwe> Oh, it was Venezuelan. o3o
14:52 <Finwe> Any Norwegian Jarlsberg?
14:53 <Finwe> Brie, he asked, expecting the answer "No".
14:53 <Finwe> We actually do have some brie.
14:53 <Finwe> Oh, give me la fromage de belle France, s'il vous plâit!

15:20 <Finwe> Glaive-guisarme is a thing, guisarme-glaive is not, neither are any of the higher order glaives.
15:22 <Schism> So a farmer in Belgium decided to enlarge his land by moving one of the cornerstones a little to the left, about 7 feet. Due to how the border is set up, this had the side effect of enlarging Belgium.
15:23 <Schism> (And reducing France accordingly.)
15:23 <Schism> https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/05/world/europe/france-belgium-border-moved.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes
15:24 <ConfusionRift> New York Times is behind.
15:24 <Schism> Well, yes.
15:25 <Finwe> The borders of Finland were last altered in 1985.
15:25 <ConfusionRift> But still. Hehehe.
15:25 <Finwe> Mostly because of a Finnish lighthouse was located in Sweden.
15:26 <Finwe> We got the land around the lighthouse from Sweden and traded an equally-sized patch of land for it on the same island.
15:26 <Finwe> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4rket#/media/File:Marketmap.png
15:27 <Finwe> There's the modern border, the original one was just a straight line through the island.
15:29 <Schism> Everyone's having a good chuckle over the 7 feet, and they basically told the farmer, "Don't worry about it, just put it back, please."
15:29 <Finwe> Care was taken not to trade coastline, because that would have altered fishing rights in the area.
15:29 <Schism> Also, hmmmm.
15:34 * ConfusionRift slowly starts nodding off. "i just need... 3 more scales..."
15:35 <Cepheid> I'm tired, myself, and could use more sleep. But I got food cooking.
15:35 * Schism plays three musical scales.
15:35 <Schism> Cepheid: KD with ham and salsa turned out to be a fine meal. o3o
15:35 <Cepheid> I'm cooking some popcorn shrimp. o3o
15:35 <Schism> Aha. o3o
15:36 * Schism offers Cepheid a mixture of tomato ketchup, worchestershire sauce, horseradish, black pepper, and lemon juice.
15:36 * Cepheid noms.
15:36 <Schism> Gotta have cocktail sauce with popcorn shrimp.
15:36 <LibrarianofHope> my doggie girl had an upset stomach
15:36 <LibrarianofHope> now she happy
15:37 <LibrarianofHope> nibbles at my shoes and goes zoomies
15:37 * ConfusionRift baps Almudrom... then an bullfango zooms by and throws him off.
15:43 <Schism> A Bullfango, or a Kestodon, or even a Rhenoplos...
15:44 * Cepheid gets run over by a Konchu.
15:47 <Cepheid> Konchu, the greatest monster.
15:47 <Cepheid> Can run you over like an interrupting rhenoplos, and actually WILL, and highly defensive in that even purple sharpness weapons will bounce off of them in their balled up form.
15:48 <ConfusionRift> What it looked like was that the Almudron bothered a bullfango. The bullgando was ready to charge, I jumped for the attack, and landed right in front of the bullfango, just to get ran over.
15:48 <Cepheid> Yeah, the small monsters like bullfango go after the large ones now.
15:48 <Cepheid> If you get hit by them, it's likely just "You were in the way."

17:37 *** Joins: coppertiger (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net)

18:31 <Cepheid> The catch with the ancient fragments is that from the normal ore spot, it's a 15% chance to get one fragment. There's always a hidden spot on the field, but unless you know where to look, you won't get it with all 4 cats usually. It guarantees 100% an ancient fragment.
18:31 <Cepheid> I wonder if the Dex has something for that.
18:32 <Schism> Crokinole? o3o
18:32 <Cepheid> Hmm?
18:32 <Schism> Nothing, nothing. Just odd.
18:32 <Cepheid> Eh, not quite that.
18:44 <Cepheid> Fucium Ore is... Volcanic Hollow.
18:45 <Cepheid> Or volcano.
18:48 * Schism obtains... 56 100-yen pins. "Okay."
18:49 * Cepheid gets slammed by Lavasioth.
18:49 * Shadowed falls over. Just did the responsible thing of setting up a dental appointment for wednesday. Now all I have to do is survive till then.
18:53 <Schism> Twister requires all the rare metal. ._. I'm going to have to just ... find the best spot to grind it.
18:53 * Schism also hugs the Shadowed. "Responsibility...!"
18:59 <Cepheid> Now I just need to waste time for ancient fragments.
19:00 <Cepheid> Alas, the harvest tours do not pass time, so I have to do a regular quest.
19:14 <Schism> Now then...
19:15 * Schism looks at how many materials she'll need for the ATK+6 foods.
19:15 <Schism> Just 3 adamantite apiece.
19:16 * Schism also works on getting Joshua's BRV up.

19:28 <Cepheid> Game. Stop screwing with me.
19:31 <Schism> +42 atk once I complete all these items. Which is... well, halfway there. 99 base atk is the goal of course.
19:32 <Cepheid> Right, let's pick a different set of armor that doesn't require extremely rare items that are random chance.
19:33 <Cepheid> Seltas set.
19:36 <Shadowed> Is it bad that I want an on/off switch on modern controllers. Just let me manually turn you off without have to open a menu.
19:36 * Shadowed grumbles and goes to lay down.
19:41 <Cepheid> Seltas Queen. Hum, this should be... interesting.

20:16 * Cepheid walks up to Seltas, arms wide open. "Buddy! Friend! Pal!" She pulls out a sword. "Die."
20:17 <Schism> Bleh. Need Dark Matter in order to get the 7-figure wallet. And that's going to be a fun drop. (I need more +atk before I go up against THOSE foes.)
20:18 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Angeline and Schism; Messrs Cepheid, LibrarianofHope and Lumindia_.
20:18 * Finwe doffs his hat.
20:18 <Finwe> Lt Pony|68572.
20:18 * Angeline steals hat. Snuggles on Finwe.
20:18 <Finwe> o7
20:18 * Finwe hugs the Angeline.
20:19 * Ali steals Angeline
20:19 <Cepheid> Gotta love them rare drops, Schism.
20:19 <Cepheid> And building up to stronger stuff.
20:20 * LibrarianofHope plops on angeline
20:20 <LibrarianofHope> i demand cold
20:20 * Angeline hugs everypony.
20:24 <Finwe> LibrarianofHope: Common cold is not available just now, but how about COVID-19?
20:24 <LibrarianofHope> had it
20:25 <LibrarianofHope> i mean, i want to cool off
20:26 <LibrarianofHope> heat makes me dumb
20:27 <Schism> Natural Puppy remains terrifyingly effective.

20:30 <Finwe> *scrunch*
20:31 * LibrarianofHope oofers finwe to the chaos gods
20:37 * Lumindia_ boops Ali with their underscore
20:38 * Ali whines at Lumindia_ and noms underscore
20:38 *** Lumindia_ is now known as Lumindia
20:38 * Lumindia is free
20:42 * Schism _completely_ breaks the earlier chapters of this game.
20:42 <Ali> Gotta love the cat that sits at your feet and cries endlessly and won't come up for nothing.
20:42 <Schism> Myurp. Perhaps she's hungie?
20:42 * Schism also blinks. "Switch at 17%, time for a break, yes, yes."
20:43 <Ali> Here's the idea, plug it in~
20:45 <Schism> Your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
20:45 <Schism> But I don't have a long charging cable, so. (Shall be getting a proper USB-C charging cable tomorrow or whenever.)
20:45 <Schism> Or, more properly, I do have such a cable, but I'm not about to unplug it from the dock, so nyah.
20:48 * Lumindia noms Schism
20:48 <LibrarianofHope> ali newletter
20:48 <LibrarianofHope> cute review
20:48 * Schism is not cute. ...and possibly neither is Ali.
20:49 <Schism> And HB is most assuredly not the cutest one here, especially in a hoodie.
20:49 <LibrarianofHope> im cute
20:49 <LibrarianofHope> adorable even
20:51 <Schism> Now, why did this Grizzly not drop its pi--oh. 1% drop rate. WELP that'll do it, sure enough.
20:51 <LibrarianofHope> this nagatoro manga is neat
20:52 <LibrarianofHope> i can see why its reaching me trhough the woodworks
20:53 <Lumindia> Schism does taste good, though
20:53 * Lumindia continues to nom
20:53 * Schism tastes of macaroni and cheese with ham and salsa!
20:53 * Lumindia is fine with this taste
20:53 * Lumindia likes all of those things
20:59 <Schism> There, more +atk items obtained...
20:59 * Schism will max out Neku's attack soon. o3o

21:33 * Schism obtains the first main boss' ultimate pin. "Huzzah."
21:35 <Schism> Also its hard mode one. '3'
21:36 <Schism> ... wait, that's its normal mode. ._.
21:37 <Schism> Adjusted percentage... 13%. .-.
21:52 <Cepheid> 13% is better than 1%, or 0.1%, or 0.01%
21:54 <Schism> True. Of course, this is with a 30x base drop rate. It CAN go up to 52% with a 4-chain (if available), and if I clear the foe with a limit break, that's a guaranteed drop.
21:54 <Schism> And I can drop my level sufficiently.
22:07 <Schism> "Will this enemy give me the gold pin I deserve?" Nope.
22:09 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend - Equestria Girls / Anthro MLP Art Gallery #296 [ https://tinyurl.com/yjcylczp ]
22:09 <Schism> Not that I need it -- it's just a Grizzly -- but that hole in my bestiary is annoying.
22:10 * Schism gets.
22:33 <LibrarianofHope> my dog drank mop water
22:33 <LibrarianofHope> everyone is telling me its no big deal
22:33 <LibrarianofHope> but im anxious bout it
22:50 <LibrarianofHope> he seems fine
22:50 * LibrarianofHope glomps ali

23:17 * Schism blink.
23:18 <Schism> Sho Minanimoto (Taboo) is a pain, of course, but easily enough taken down with a proper 3-point fusion. HOWEVER, the ultimate pin has a .13% drop rate by default.
23:19 <Schism> Ah, it's the Black Saturn pin.
23:20 <Schism> ... hm. Hard mode drop is just regular old Dark Matter. Now that might be worth grinding up.
23:29 <PinkieShy> I miss being in a city already lol
23:29 <PinkieShy> Was there for a few hours the other day and miss it.. There so much to do :(
23:29 <PinkieShy> Hopefully I can move there next year or two this time..
23:32 * Schism figures out how to beat Sho Minanimoto properly. o3o
23:36 <Schism> With the right setup, I can now easily farm all the Scarletite I'll ever need.
23:40 <Schism> So, hmm. Shiki's Fusion, and 16x chains...
