04:21 <Cepheid> Damn the RNG to hell.
04:21 <Cepheid> Needed a single S.Queen Hardpectus, get 0. Also needed a single S.Queen Crescent. Get several, despite the extremely lower chance of doing so.
04:21 * Golden flops.
04:37 * Cepheid watches the Seltas Queen pick up the Seltas, slam it repeatedly into the ground, killing it, and then proceed to eat the corpse.
04:39 <Golden> Imagine Seltas Queen in rise
04:39 <Cepheid> Heh.
04:40 <Golden> Especially with the wire bug mount mechanic
04:46 <Cepheid> Heh, I'd expect her to resist it, or prevent it outright by grabbing the player and slamming them onto the ground.
04:46 <Cepheid> Finally, got the hardpectus. Just need...
04:46 <Golden> Or yeeting the player like Rajang when he pins you

04:51 <Golden> I managed to slay a giant magnamalo in the three part hunt series of 7 star quests. Used my sword whip skill. Was on the final cart, and basically went like "I WON'T LET YOU WIN!"
04:51 <Cepheid> Heh. Yeah, those kinds of fights are fun.
04:53 <Golden> It was the one where you have to hunt Magnamalo and Nargacuga together
04:53 <Cepheid> I haven't reached 7* yet.
04:53 <Golden> Crud my bad.
04:53 <Cepheid> Nah, it's fine.
04:53 <Golden> Helps you prepare?
04:53 <Cepheid> I am up to 4* hub, 6* village.
04:53 <Cepheid> I've seen magnamalo.
04:54 <Golden> Ah. Well guessing the title update monsters are free to talk about too?
04:54 <Cepheid> Yeh, it's fine. It's more, just don't spoil the story.
04:55 <Golden> I love how Chameleos's armor makes you look like a mage.
04:56 <Golden> Not to mention it's fight, and Kushala's were actually challenging!
04:56 <Cepheid> Heh.
04:56 <Cepheid> Yeah, the set of monsters in the first update is interesting. Can't wait to see what's coming in May, given there's a new ending involved.
04:57 <Golden> I am basically running High Rank Rathalos armor that is layered to have Chameleos, free meal, and wide range.
04:58 <Golden> Gore Magala is still on my list for monsters to return ;-;
04:58 <Cepheid> I'm currently running a mixture of different armors. Mostly just crafting weapons at the moment in Rise. Since my usual hunting partner is currently away for various reasons, I've mostly been sticking to low-rank weapon crafting in Rise, or playing MHGU.
05:01 <Cepheid> I want to at least get to the Nakarkos kill quest.
05:01 <Golden> I can say that I am surprised with Sword and Shield though. The only one with natural white sharpness is the Nargacuga weapon Flash in the Night. Which it had it's poison element taken away too
05:02 <Cepheid> Gonna be honest, I'm surprised the Misty Peaks wasn't one of the maps brought back with a remake.
05:03 <Golden> It would of been perfect for Chameleos!!!
05:04 <Cepheid> Well, that, and it fits the theme of Rise.

05:32 <Cepheid> And with that I got a nice high-defense armor. Though, utterly useless with enemies that use fire. But, this should be enough to push me to the next HR in any case. I'll leave that for another time though as I need to lay down now.

11:53 * Cepheid hands ConfusionRift a miniature Seltas Queen.
11:53 <Schism> The tiniest crown. o3o
11:53 <Cepheid> Which, being a Seltas Queen isn't saying much.
11:53 <Cepheid> Thing's about the size of a tank.

11:55 <ConfusionRift> It's like getting a gold crown for smallest for Lao Shan Lung.
11:56 * ConfusionRift remembers someone modding it, making it really small; about hunter height.
11:57 <Cepheid> Heh.
11:58 * Cepheid goes to capture an Agnaktor.
11:58 <Cepheid> This is not going to end well, as my best defensive set is -15 fire resist.
11:58 * Cepheid negates it with Fire Resist food.
11:59 <Cepheid> Oh, wait.
11:59 <Cepheid> The foot only negated it so far as to -12.
12:00 * Cepheid goes to the gate and heads off for pain and agony.
12:03 <ConfusionRift> Aah, lava Plesioth. | "That's Lavasioth" | Oh right. I guess... lava Lagiacross? | "...close enough."
12:06 <Cepheid> Well, so far, I'm surviving. Fire damage isn't actually that bad.
12:07 <Cepheid> The 460-something defense from the Seltas set really helps in negating the damage a bit.
12:07 <Cepheid> Also, it's Lagiacrus. *Gets shot*
12:07 <ConfusionRift> Ah, right.
12:10 <Cepheid> People who argue that the series has become easier, in terms of combat, need a slap upside the face.
12:11 <Cepheid> Rise is on par in difficulty, more or less. Village is easy as expected, but the higher rank stuff, and the hub, definitely matches.
12:12 <Cepheid> Note to self: Shield does not defend against body slam.
12:14 <ConfusionRift> Nope. :P
12:15 <ConfusionRift> You've got about several hundred pounds plummeting on your face.
12:16 <ConfusionRift> Then again, a shield was able to withstand a flame so hot that it melted a huge steel gate like it was butter.
12:16 <Cepheid> More or less.
12:17 <Cepheid> What the shield can and cannot deflect is almost random.
12:17 <Cepheid> Also, the flame in question is not as hot to melt a gate like it was butter, that's Fatalis' special move, and nothing can guard against it. That said..
12:17 <Cepheid> The relevant flame that CAN be guarded against cuts through hunters like a hot knife through butter.
12:20 <Cepheid> ... Wait, it can be captured already? Feels like it should have more health for it's size.
12:20 <Cepheid> Whatever.
12:21 * Cepheid opens spreadsheet, pastes armor requirements.
12:21 <Cepheid> ...
12:21 <Cepheid> That was the first agnaktor I've killed/captured.
12:21 * ConfusionRift puts the trap down, and flags the others to stop attacking it. Off goes the Palico to throw his weapon... and dead.
12:22 <Cepheid> I gather that is an experience you've dealt with.
12:22 <ConfusionRift> That happened twice yesterday.
12:22 <Cepheid> Ouch.
12:24 * Cepheid looks at materials required, and materials owned.
12:24 <Cepheid> ... I got a bit of work ahead of me.
12:24 <ConfusionRift> What happened was that the Palico normally lets you know the monster is weak, aside from observing them limping. The message didn't show up, and almost killed it. Stopped, put a trap, and tried to bait it. Apparently the Palico wanted blood, and ended up killing it.
12:24 <Cepheid> Yeah, I like to keep an eye on the icons up in the upper-right as a result.
12:25 <ConfusionRift> I saw the blue marker, but it was a while before then.
12:26 <ConfusionRift> The second time was both Palico and Palamute. I had already set the trap, but they just kept going, despite me already having the weapon holstered. They ended up killing it.
12:27 <ConfusionRift> And the other 4 traps I lost due to the monster acting stupid.
12:28 <Cepheid> Yeah, the pals will still occasionally attack even if you have your weapon sheathed.
12:28 <ConfusionRift> Trap kits are expensive, bud. -_-
12:28 <Cepheid> I noticed this in MHGU a lot, especially when fighting bnahabra with the intent to carve.
12:28 <Cepheid> I'll poison the bugs, sheathe, and they'll run to me, but if I approach the monster, they go and attack anyways.
12:28 <ConfusionRift> Oh, that has been a problem since always.
12:29 <ConfusionRift> Had that issue in P2. Had to tell them to stay put at home.
12:29 <Cepheid> Yep.
12:30 * Cepheid goes and grabs a talisman for dealing with environmental damage.
12:30 <ConfusionRift> I know that if I jump to World, I'm gonna forget about the drinks.
12:31 <ConfusionRift> Then again, I do have that hazard charm.
12:31 <Cepheid> I don't forget 'em, but I don't like relying on them in GU
12:31 <Cepheid> They last far less.
12:31 <ConfusionRift> Bleck.
12:31 <Cepheid> And this is also for lava damage as well, which there is in the area.
12:32 <Cepheid> That said, I clearly have become a better hunter in the intervening time since I last played GU.]
12:33 <Cepheid> I still take damage, I'm not THAT good, I usually have mega potions left over, now.
12:36 * ConfusionRift checks something.
12:38 <ConfusionRift> ...really? That ship isn't there? They make it a mess to get to the one before, and THAT one isn't listed?
12:38 <Cepheid> Hmm?
12:38 <ConfusionRift> Maybe they're still working on it... they better.
12:38 <ConfusionRift> FINALLY got R-Type yesterday.
12:39 <Cepheid> Ah, that.
12:40 <ConfusionRift> Let's say that unlocking everything (which isn't possible yet) is gonna take a loooong time.
12:40 <Cepheid> Console or PC?
12:40 <ConfusionRift> Switch, which I kinda regret.
12:40 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:41 <Cepheid> Cause if it was PC, I could have probably edited a save file for you.
12:41 <ConfusionRift> There are ships that aren't ready yet, so there's only a placeholder for them.
12:42 <Cepheid> And why the regret? For lack of save editing? Or..?
12:42 <ConfusionRift> It's laggy at times.
12:42 <Cepheid> Bah.
12:42 <ConfusionRift> And considering that controller lag I referred to last time, yeah.
12:42 <Cepheid> Speaking of-
12:43 <Cepheid> I am familiar with what you refer to now.
12:43 <ConfusionRift> Oh?
12:43 <Cepheid> I've been experimenting with Rise a bit.
12:43 <Cepheid> While for the most part, it's reliable and snappy, using the controllers separated from the Switch does, in fact, introduce some minute lag.
12:43 <Cepheid> It's noticeable primarily in the UI.
12:44 <Cepheid> If you open the game's menu, then use R or L to switch back and forth, if you tap the buttons quickly, you'll find that the cursor moves a short delay after you release the button.
12:44 <Cepheid> But if you have the controllers docked onto the switch, it's instantaneous.
12:45 <Cepheid> I noticed it because I was trying to resolve some trouble with my capture card devices.
12:45 <ConfusionRift> Well, imagine that, while playing a hectic shmup.
12:46 <Cepheid> Wired controllers please. o3o
12:48 <ConfusionRift> Yeah...
12:48 <ConfusionRift> I have had enough frustrations with that. And man, wooh, those retro stages.
12:50 <ConfusionRift> They just had to revive one of the nastier stages from R-Type 3.
12:50 <Cepheid> Heh.
12:51 <Cepheid> That all being said, I doubt PS4 would fare any better, it too uses bluetooth so there'd be lag there.
12:51 <ConfusionRift> The best part, the game couldn't render the textures. :P
12:52 <Cepheid> ... How'd a bug like that slip through?
12:52 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
12:53 <ConfusionRift> I started the retro stages, game started stuttering, and then nothing had textures.
12:54 <ConfusionRift> Well, they did, but they were low res pre-rendered.
12:55 <Cepheid> Ah.
12:55 <Cepheid> Cartridge or digital download?
12:55 <ConfusionRift> Wasn't sure if that was intentional, but a quick peek at the bydo list told me that wasn't the case.
12:55 <ConfusionRift> Digital.
12:57 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and a lot of questions after beating this one.
12:57 <Cepheid> Might need a better SD card. What you described sounds like issues with reading of data. I could tell you if it might be the case or not if you can get me a picture of the SD card, or you list off the details written on it.
12:58 <ConfusionRift> But... everything works fine. It's that retro stage so far.
12:59 <Cepheid> Still, strange.
12:59 <ConfusionRift> Haven't checked the other retro stages, since screw that one, but still.
13:00 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, let me check again.
13:00 <Cepheid> Man.
13:00 <Cepheid> Not a single partbreaker talisman.
13:01 <Cepheid> And I can't get it via jewels either, because this armor has no slots.

13:29 <ConfusionRift> Huh. Big whoops on them.
13:30 <Cepheid> Probably a case of "Trying to get it to market too fast."
13:30 * ConfusionRift should point out it suffered from the same problems as Bloodstained.
13:30 <Cepheid> Kickstarters, endless delays?
13:32 <ConfusionRift> Not exactly. More of the problems with delivery, delays in sending copies and codes, EXTRA delays for said copies outside of Japan, putting out promotional stuff before finalizing delivery, etc.
13:33 <ConfusionRift> The crazy thing was seeing IGA in the credits, since apparently ArtPlay helped.
13:35 <Cepheid> Heh.

13:41 <Cepheid> I'm getting lucky with rewards and carves at least for the wings.
13:42 * Cepheid watches it drop out of the sky as it dies while jumping.
13:44 <Cepheid> 7 more carapaces, 2 wings, and 2 more inferno sacs to go.
13:46 <Cepheid> 5 more carapaces. Got some from cat expedition.
13:48 * Cepheid brings minds eye oil.
13:49 <Cepheid> This'll help with bouncin'
13:49 * Cepheid hits ZR out of habit. Quest does not start.
13:49 * Cepheid sighs, then walks to the gate.
13:51 <ConfusionRift> :P
13:52 <ConfusionRift> "Eerm... Meowster?" | Hmm? | "Are... we going? You have been standing there for a while." | Wait. i thought we were starting the quest. | "...what?" | Oh, right. I have to go to the gate and ring the bell. Uuuuuurrrrgh.

14:00 <Cepheid> Well that solves the wings.
14:00 <Cepheid> I got four in one run.
14:00 <ConfusionRift> Nice.
14:00 <Cepheid> Just need 2 carapaces and 2 inferno sacs.
14:01 * Finwe noms on Cepheid's existing carapaces.
14:01 <Cepheid> Then I'll have a fire resistant armor with partbreaker, which will make Agnaktor a bit easier.
14:02 * Cepheid hums. Wonders how much a 1TB SD card goes for right now.
14:02 <Cepheid> ... Ye know, I was expecting a higher price.
14:03 <Cepheid> $200 on Amazon.
14:03 <Cepheid> For a SanDisk Extreme 1TB. SanDisk Ultra 1TB is $160.
14:08 <Cepheid> I have no idea how we escaped getting hit there.
14:09 <Cepheid> All 3 of us(Me, two cats) got put to sleep by the gas.
14:09 <Cepheid> We didn't get hit afterwards.
14:13 <ConfusionRift> "Aaaw, they look so cute asleep. Gonna let them rest." | (2 hours later) Uurgh... what happened? Where did it go?! (Quest Failed) Nooo!!!
14:13 <Cepheid> That's all the carapaces, I believe. Just need the sacs, now.
14:14 <Cepheid> Oh, I got one from rewards. So I just need 1 more sac.
14:14 <Cepheid> Let's see, what's the best chance for it?
14:15 <Cepheid> Capture a Gravios for 34% chance. There's a DLC quest that gives 100% chance.
14:18 <Cepheid> ... Aahahahaha no.
14:18 <Cepheid> Hunt 3 Rathians.
14:18 <Cepheid> I'll take my chances with the basarios again, I'll get one sooner or later from it.
14:18 <Cepheid> Though I suppose I could poke Gravios.

14:48 <RazorSharpFang> Planet of coal.
14:48 <Cepheid> Not bad.
14:49 <Cepheid> Any water on it?
14:49 <RazorSharpFang> Negative.
14:49 <RazorSharpFang> It's also a really small planet, so it'll yield only a trickle once it's depleted.
14:50 <Cepheid> There goes that idea, then. Was gonna use liquifaction to make rocket fuel from that planetoid.
14:50 <RazorSharpFang> There's an oil planet with water on it.
14:51 <Cepheid> I'll conquer it, then. o3o
14:51 <RazorSharpFang> Has threat of zero, so good job all done.
14:51 <Cepheid> Heh.
14:51 <Finwe> RazorSharpFang: But oil floats on water, so shouldn't it be a water planet with oil on it?
14:51 <Cepheid> Sorry if all the updates to mods and such impacted you in logging in.
14:51 <RazorSharpFang> The core is oil.
14:52 <RazorSharpFang> It's an easy update, and the new features are well appreciated.
14:52 <Cepheid> Hopefully it didn't break any recipes.
14:52 <Cepheid> One of the earlier updates did, and I had to fix 'em.
14:52 <RazorSharpFang> That was the motor/elec motor right?
14:53 <Cepheid> Yeh.
14:55 <RazorSharpFang> The bigger planets I'd probably be unable to clear properly with our nuclear arsenal, but we could probably collab to purge the bigger ones.

15:05 <LibrarianofHope> spider riding goblins
15:05 <RazorSharpFang> Neat.
15:05 <LibrarianofHope> im selling most of my mini backlog, im pretty certain what im going to collect now
15:06 <LibrarianofHope> undead and greenskins
15:06 * LibrarianofHope plops on nuclear missile
15:09 <Finwe> Goblin wolfriders. o3o
15:09 <LibrarianofHope> have those too
15:09 <Finwe> Spiders are more a dark elven thing.
15:09 <LibrarianofHope> depends
15:10 <LibrarianofHope> its fits with the general "coalition of underground insanity"
15:10 <LibrarianofHope> im making a board of a coalition of shamans doing something in a potion
15:11 * Schism calls her grandfather one last time.
15:16 <Finwe> What are you going to call him?
15:17 <Schism> Heh.
15:17 * Schism then goes back to work.
15:19 * LibrarianofHope sells finwe in the math market
15:19 <LibrarianofHope> must make money
15:19 <LibrarianofHope> there must be sales
15:26 <RazorSharpFang> You receive sqrt(-1) USD
15:28 <Finwe> RazorSharpFang: Could you also receive [0 1; 1 0] USD?
15:29 <RazorSharpFang> Is that like, the reverse identity matrix for the 2x2 ?
15:30 <Finwe> Ones on the ascending diagonal, yes.
15:31 <RazorSharpFang> To be honest, matrixes still confuse me.
15:31 <RazorSharpFang> I just don't use them enough to keep myself familiar with their fundamentals.
15:32 <Finwe> Sorry, I meant [0 -1; 1 0].
15:33 <Finwe> That's isomorphic with the imaginary unit of complex numbers.
15:34 <RazorSharpFang> Not that I know what isomorphic means.
15:35 <Finwe> Complex numbers and product behave like certain 2 x 2 matrices with standard matrix product.
15:36 <RazorSharpFang> That is, to rotate?
15:36 <Finwe> Basically yes, scale and rotate.
15:37 <Finwe> Although isomorphism is a term used in abstract algebra to describe the similarity of two algebraic structures as such.
15:38 <LibrarianofHope> owo
15:38 <RazorSharpFang> I'm sure that won't be confusing.
15:38 <LibrarianofHope> im confused by the phrasing
15:38 <LibrarianofHope> i wont evern try to understand that, ill get a headache
15:39 <Finwe> If z = x + yi and w = a + bi are complex numbers with real components a, b, x and y, then the isomorphism is f( z * w) = [x -y; y x] [ a -b; b a]
15:39 * LibrarianofHope implodes from math
15:39 <LibrarianofHope> how can you even process that
15:41 <Finwe> One would write that C ~ M = {[x -y; y x] | x,y ∈ R}.
15:42 <Finwe> The field of complex numbers is isomorphic to the 2 x 2 matrices of the given form.
15:43 <LibrarianofHope> i do have a question
15:43 <LibrarianofHope> its kinda vague
15:43 <LibrarianofHope> but why does math makes sense?
15:43 <Finwe> For the imaginary unit, i^1 = i, i^2 = -1, i^3 = -i, i^4 = 1.
15:43 <LibrarianofHope> in the sense that despite it being a human creation it makes sense
15:45 <Finwe> And similarly, for the isomorphic matrix [0 -1; 1 0]^2 = [-1 0; 0 -1] = -I, []^3 = -[] and []^4 = I.
15:45 <Finwe> where I is the identity matrix [1 0; 01].
15:47 * LibrarianofHope plops on finwe
15:47 <LibrarianofHope> i can even begin to understant that
15:48 <LibrarianofHope> what is it even used for?
15:48 <LibrarianofHope> laymans terms please
15:49 <RazorSharpFang> I've already given up.
15:49 <Finwe> What, abstract algebra? It's used to study mathematical structures.
15:50 <Finwe> Any modern cryptographic application probably uses it.
15:50 <Finwe> For example.
15:50 <LibrarianofHope> ahh
15:53 <Finwe> If the standard algebra is using symbols instead of actual real numbers, then abstract algebra is using symbols for operations, structures and elements.
15:53 <Finwe> E.g. the structure of which the reals and the complex numbers are an example of is called field.

16:30 <LibrarianofHope> its probably on
16:30 <LibrarianofHope> i dont watch live, its so many people and my internet cant handle it
16:31 <LibrarianofHope> not on at the moment
16:31 <LibrarianofHope> the live reveal should start soonish
16:31 <LibrarianofHope> the safe bet would be marine, or imperium
16:31 <LibrarianofHope> maybe orks
16:32 <LibrarianofHope> they have been showing ork stuff
16:32 <Ali> I certainly know they give no craps about Nids
16:32 <Ali> When you have to dive deep into Forge World to be competative in standard, there's something wrong
16:34 <LibrarianofHope> yep
16:34 <LibrarianofHope> cant argue that
16:34 <Ali> Well my biggest gripe is how low damage the Nid melee and shooting weapons are outside the two big gun groups
16:34 <LibrarianofHope> the next codex in the line is the mechanicus, maybe something from them
16:35 <Ali> I think around 85% of Nid damage is 1
16:35 <Ali> Which with the boost to mahreen bois have 2 wounds each now, weakens the nid damage output by 50%
