00:01 <Sombra> I invented a fake person

00:02 <LibrarianofHope> well im not actually a librarian, so its not like im real

00:02 <LibrarianofHope> ali is however quite cute

00:03 <Sombra> He's a Brazilian doctor, voted one of the most attractive doctors.

00:04 <LibrarianofHope> run that by me again

00:04 <LibrarianofHope> also are you dappled?

00:04 <Sombra> I invented a fake person.

00:04 <Sombra> No.

00:05 <LibrarianofHope> i dont follow

00:05 <LibrarianofHope> you made a character

00:05 <Sombra> No no, I made a man, like I found a bunch of pictures of some guy and invented a story about him and am now pretending to be him

00:06 <LibrarianofHope> why?

00:06 <Sombra> To attract humans.

00:06 <LibrarianofHope> so catfishing

00:06 <LibrarianofHope> which is illegal

00:06 <LibrarianofHope> Ali

00:07 <Sombra> Is it illegal?

00:07 <LibrarianofHope> yep

00:07 <Sombra> Oh...

00:07 <LibrarianofHope> identity theft

00:07 <Sombra> Is it illegal to do on tinder?

00:07 <LibrarianofHope> very

00:07 <Sombra> What if you have permission from said person to do it?

00:07 <LibrarianofHope> do you?

00:08 <Sombra> Yes

00:08 <LibrarianofHope> yeah, that is identity theft

00:08 <LibrarianofHope> at least its again terms of service

00:08 <Sombra> That's fair.

00:09 <Sombra> Gotta do what you gotta do though I guess.

00:10 * Ali facehooves

00:11 <Ali> Why would you even admit to identity theft

00:11 <Sombra> You've never catfished before?

00:12 <Sombra> I should note that I have no intention to meet these people.

00:12 <LibrarianofHope> still bad

00:13 <Sombra> It's not ideal, I'll admit.

00:13 <LibrarianofHope> its stupid

00:13 <Ali> Ah that's why this seems all too familiar

00:14 <LibrarianofHope> really?

00:14 <Ali> This nick is on the permaban list

00:14 <Sombra> What, why?

00:14 <LibrarianofHope> admitting to crimes funny boi

00:14 <Ali> Its old, very old

00:15 <Ali> But I do have this nick under ban, though the mask is different but you're acting awfully strange

00:15 <Sombra> I'm a different person than I was back then, thankfully.

00:15 <LibrarianofHope> but still bypassed permaban

00:16 <Ali> Look the permaban is like six years old

00:16 <Ali> And after what was just said, how do I know you've changed?

00:16 <LibrarianofHope> you did admit a weird thing

00:17 <Sombra> Less angry, less confrontational.

00:17 <Sombra> What happens, happens.

00:25 <Sombra> I appreciate your understand, whatever your choice.

00:25 * Ali isn't doing anything for now

00:26 <Sombra> I just wanted someone to criticize my choices.

00:58 <Schism> Speaking solely as I return briefly, your behaviour, beginning from yesterday when you made an off-colour joke about AIDS, has not been evocative of someone acting in good faith.

01:03 <Schism> I would suggest that if you so desire, there are plenty of places on the Internet where you can find a significant and profound response for actions taken in such a fashion; that IRC is, while somewhat resistant, not as secure, even under onion routing, as you seem to believe; and finally, that we are not a group of small-minded 11-year-olds intent on ruining things for everyone else.

01:05 <Schism> In short, while, not being a mod, I can't tell you to not let the door slam behind you on your way out, I would greatly appreciate if your self-admitted inimical craft not be plied here.

01:25 <Cepheid> Ah, r/nottheonion, thanks for keeping me entertained.

01:26 * Cepheid awakens, and looks up.

01:26 <Cepheid> ...

01:34 <Cepheid> Guh, can't believe I fell back asleep for a few hours there.  Not one for napping, but the selection of prescription drugs thrown into me enforced one.

01:35 <Schism> I'm pretty much up right now to have a bowl of ramen, take girlpill, and then flump back to sleep.  Also, ow.  Can't sleep with bra on, I know this, and so chest is now back to a state of achy pain.

01:36 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/qA7k0Dt

01:38 <Schism> My rogue: *saunters up to archery target, stabs with arrow in face, casually walks away*

01:38 <Cepheid> On one hand, that guy must be embarassed for doing all of that.  On the other hand, he's pretty skilled.

01:38 <Cepheid> In multiple ways.

01:38 <Cepheid> Hell he even hit the target by throwing the arrows as a barbarian.

01:39 <Schism> That was rather impressive; I didn't expect any to stick.

01:44 <Cepheid> Hookay game, how many of these Arzuros do I have to left to kill?

01:44 <Cepheid> ...

01:44 <Cepheid> One danged more.

01:45 <Cepheid> I need a source of Pale Extracts.

01:45 <Tirek> I am impressed by the pole firing

01:45 <Cepheid> The Khezu Hunt-a-thon seems my best source.  At the cost of having to fight up to 10 Khezus.

01:45 <Schism> Cepheid: ... at least one more...

01:46 <Cepheid> No, it's pretty much guaranteed to be one more.

01:46 <Cepheid> ARm  break will give me the item I need guaranteed.

01:47 <Schism> Ah, that works alright then.

01:47 <Cepheid> It's just the only viable quest has me fighting two, and they... like to find one another.  A lot.

01:47 * Schism also hums. Author: 'Okay, I'm going to write an epilogue, but don't worry. This time it'll only be 100,000 words or so.'

01:48 <Cepheid> I need to do a full run of sap plants and the other item required for paintballs.

01:48 <Cepheid> I'm down to 3 paintballs.

01:49 <Cepheid> I also need to go kill a Deviljho at some point.

01:49 <Cepheid> In fact, that'd be an HR quest, let's go do that first.

01:51 <Cepheid> Aaaand I forgot to bring hot drinks.

01:52 <Cepheid> 805 defense.  Nice.

01:55 <Cepheid> The thing that upsets me about Deviljho is, that, with respect to Rise, it isn't a matter of "If" he'll show up, but "When" he'll show up.

02:49 <Cepheid> I got everything I wanted from it.

02:54 <Cepheid> For reasons I cannot fathom, a water weapon needs Lagiacrus parts to upgrade.

03:33 <Cepheid> Taco shells, cheese, lettuce, chilli.  Not quite a taco, but still works.

03:40 <Cepheid> With the Arzy weapon and armor made, and upgraded as far as they can go, the rest of my plan for tonight is to do all the village requests.

04:22 * Ali flops over uni

04:22 * uni meeeps

04:22 <uni> heyo~

04:24 * Ali wavies, but unicorn is a ball of stress

04:31 * uni patpats Ali gently, why?

05:00 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

05:01 <Cepheid> Hey Rifty.

05:01 * Cepheid hands Rifty the tail of an Akantor.

05:01 <ConfusionRift> Heh, seems you've been having a field day with this guy. :P

05:01 <Cepheid> Eh.

05:02 <Cepheid> I wanted to test my upgraded armor.

05:02 <Cepheid> 800 defense, yo.

05:02 <ConfusionRift> ._.;

05:02 <Cepheid> Well, lower than that, but I have Defense Up L.

05:03 <Cepheid> In any case, it barely amounted to much.

05:03 <ConfusionRift> Because of elemental damage?

05:03 <Cepheid> Mostly.

05:03 <Cepheid> I got -10 fire resist with the set I made.

05:03 <ConfusionRift> Aside from it just doing some nasty hit damage.

05:04 <ConfusionRift> And there's that.

05:05 <Cepheid> But yeah, his biggest issue is the size, mostly.

05:05 <Cepheid> You'd need evade extender to dodge most of the attacks.

05:07 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, yeh, I murdered enough Arzuros that I no longer ever have to hunt them again, unless there's a like, a villager request.

05:08 <Cepheid> Next bi-  Er target, is Royal Ludroth.

05:10 <ConfusionRift> "Hey there, hunter!" | Oh no, here we go. | "It seems we're having a major ecological unbalance." | Huh? | "It seems Arzuros are now considered an endangered species." | (Oh crud, that was kinda my fault... maybe there's something I can do.) Oh, that's terrible! Is... is there anything I can do? | "Yes. For research purposes, we need you to hunt 200 of them." | Sure thing. Let me just- wait, what?!

05:11 <Cepheid> Heh.

05:11 <ConfusionRift> "No hunter is gonna capture 200 of them." | But still!

05:11 <Cepheid> Honestly, I don't think monsters can ever become endangered in this world.

05:12 <Cepheid> They reproduce faster than rabbits in heat permanently.

05:12 <ConfusionRift> That, and they scatter to other places way too quickly.

05:13 <ConfusionRift> Nooo no, don't tell me it's an ecosystem issue, when a monster constantly gets curious and goes somewhere they shouldn't normally be!

05:13 <Cepheid> Let's see now, what's the next quest to do..?

05:13 <ConfusionRift> Same goes for Elder Dragons. -_-

05:13 <Cepheid> Next villager request is...

05:13 <Cepheid> Blagonga and Lagombi.  Bleh.

05:13 <Cepheid> Lagombi's fine.  It's the Blagonga that peeves me off.

05:14 <ConfusionRift> Oh, ice monkey and wabbit.

05:14 <Cepheid> Ice monke pisses me off.

05:14 <ConfusionRift> Trust me, you ain't the only one.

05:16 <ConfusionRift> He's just reaaally annoying.

05:16 <Cepheid> And I forgot to bring hot drinks again.

05:17 <ConfusionRift> If you can manage to pin 'em in one area, he's no issue. The problem is doing that, the cold, debuffs, and a lot of bump damage.

05:21 <Cepheid> The monkies are my least favourite class of monster to fight.

05:21 <Cepheid> Either because they simply leap way too far around the field, have wide area attacks, or, and this is the big one, they fart.

05:21 <ConfusionRift> Yep. Oh, and a lot of flailing attacks.

05:23 <Cepheid> "Hey, I got an idea, let's make a monster who's defining trait is that it farts!  HILARIOUS!"

05:24 * ConfusionRift points at Volvidon. "Not as bad though."

05:26 <Cepheid> Volvidon has it's own problems in it's high-sharpness requirements.

05:28 <ConfusionRift> Yep.

05:28 <ConfusionRift> Probably why they moved it higher in Rise.

05:29 <Cepheid> Monke be dead.

05:39 <Cepheid> Next up... Lagiacrus.

05:40 <Cepheid> Kinda a good thing, I need one of his claws for... the Royal Ludroth weapon.  o3o;

05:40 <Cepheid> "Yeah, for this water weapon I'll need... some thunder monster parts."

05:42 <Cepheid> Oooh, you're a big one.

05:43 *** Quits: Sombra (abigwolf@Pony-mfm.ies.245.104.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

05:46 <ConfusionRift> Guh, this guy wants me to go back to Destiny. Bleck. Still very upset with them.

05:46 * Cepheid sees a spot of electricity building behind up beneath her. Rolls to dodge out of it. Lands in another spot that she couldn't see, gets hit anyways.

05:48 <ConfusionRift> That's always grand. Dodge one, get hit by the other.

05:53 <ConfusionRift> Superman dodge the running tank, and then get hit by a lingering hitbox.

05:57 <Cepheid> Basically.  In this case, I dodged from one area of effect into another.

05:59 <Cepheid> Hum, I think that's all the Defense L and elemental resistances S food items collected.

06:00 <Cepheid> Next on villager requests... Duramboros.

06:01 <Cepheid> I really do not miss the hyper-aggressive nature of small monsters.

06:02 <ConfusionRift> Yep.

06:02 <ConfusionRift> Not all beasts attack as soon as something is within hearing range. -_-

06:02 <Cepheid> Bullfango?  Rush you do.  Rhenoplos?  Rush you down.  Any of the Preys?  Knock you down.  A freaking herbivore apceros?  Ram you down.  Herbivore aptonoth?  Bash you down.

06:03 <Cepheid> The moment they see you.

06:04 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, which as I mentioned it's not something that's completely true. Especially with herbivores.

06:05 <Cepheid> The worst part is they focus on you at the exclusion of all else.

06:05 <Cepheid> Even if there's a freakin' tigrex in the area.

06:05 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, that's classic MH crud.

06:06 <Cepheid> Git OUT of the transition monster.

06:06 *** Quits: Angeline (Scootaloo@I.Will.Fly.Higher) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

06:06 <ConfusionRift> The problem is not the felynes bapping them, the companions bombarding, or the other monsters being pests. The HUNTER is the issue. -_-

06:06 <ConfusionRift> Oh... right. I also don't miss transition/loading zones.

06:06 <Cepheid> Much as they gave a way to safety for a moment, I don't miss them either.

06:08 * ConfusionRift moves to another zone, there's a monster, he gets bumped by it, he flies due to knockback into the previous zone, now has to sit and wait for the zone to load, and then have to move back to the other zone and wait to load.

06:09 <Cepheid> That's what sparked the comment above.

06:09 <Cepheid> I walked into the area, got knocked back by an attack, transitioned back to the area I was in previously, and had to walk back in.

06:13 * Golden flops. He got threatened at work.

06:16 <Cepheid> By employer or customer?

06:17 <Golden> Customer

06:18 <Golden> Highschool student.

06:18 <Cepheid> I'd say I'm surprised, but given what my sister has said about her students..

06:18 <Golden> Tried to warn him that we have been getting customers that carry knives, and guns with them so maybe riding a scooter in a parking lot asking for food, and money was a bad idea

06:19 <Golden> His friends saw him, and were on my side. After the altercation, and when his friends came out they told me that he was crying, and telling his mom I harassed, amd assaulted him.

06:20 <ConfusionRift> Parking lot has cameras.

06:21 <Golden> So I am panicking, have been for about eight hours now that they may try something now...

06:34 <Golden> Yeah.

07:01 <Cepheid> I wonder how the game functions with respect to "Deliver X item" when said item has a 20% chance to drop from a monster.  Like, does it keep spawning said monster?  Or..?

07:01 <ConfusionRift> Eerm, like what item, as an example?

07:02 <Cepheid> Monster Guts.

07:02 <Cepheid> Gotta collect 5 of 'em, but they drop at a 20% rate off of zamites.

07:03 <ConfusionRift> The game never stops spawning the monsters. There is a form of cooldown though.

07:03 <Cepheid> Yeah, it's just I'm working on the old world logic.

07:03 <Cepheid> Which was that there'd be limited numbers of spawns, but I suppose that's changed for quests where you need an item off said spawns.

07:04 * Ali curls up on ConfusionRift

07:04 <ConfusionRift> The old games still respawned monsters. The cooldown after clearing them was much longer though. In some instances, especially in the older games, the monster needed for the quest would spawn in other areas where they normally don't.

07:05 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.

07:06 <ConfusionRift> I remember there being a quest that had a trigger of sorts. I think it was a Vespoid hunt quest. After clearing the normal spawn areas, they would show up on the other areas. And finally all showing in the last explored area.

07:08 <Cepheid> Heh.

07:13 <Cepheid> Hum, getting tired. o3o;  No idea why, given A)  I woke up at 2 PM, and B)  I took a nap at around 7 to 9-10 PM.

07:16 <Cepheid> I blame medication stuffs.

07:18 <Ali> Must be all the girlmones

07:19 * Ali sits on the Finwe

07:19 <Cepheid> Nooot in my case.

07:20 <Cepheid> It's discontinuation of medications.

07:20 * Finwe is placed hindquarters upon.

07:20 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.

07:21 * Ali puts a mask on Finwe's mouth to prevent noms, even though the CDC now says its ok not to wear them, the state has doubled down on having them on.

07:37 <Golden> Is kool-aid man the glass, or the drink?

07:38 <Cepheid> Both.

07:38 * Cepheid wields ConfusionRift like a bowgun, and goes after a monster.

07:42 <Cepheid> I wonder if we'll get anything like the sieges in Rise.  At the least, multi-stage fights.

07:42 <Cepheid> It was fun descending into the depths over time fighting Safi'jiiva.

07:43 <uni> oh yeah Finwe, last night I had the most amazing bowl of noodles ever

07:43 <uni> the taste was like just pure satisfaction and joy

07:44 <Finwe> I had what could be described as "korv och bröd".

07:44 * Cepheid hopes they can get back to Rise soon. The cutscene that follows the 3*->4* Hub quest has made her curious.

07:45 * uni tiltshead

07:45 <uni> a what now?

07:46 <Finwe> 'Tis Swedish for "sausage in a bun".

07:46 <Finwe> A kind of hot dog, in other words.

07:46 <Sombra> I wonder who invented sausage

07:46 <Finwe> Well, literally "sausage and bread".

07:47 <Cepheid> No.  NO.  You shouldn't have asked that, Sombra.  Now you're gonna get Finwe going into a long explanation over several minutes.

07:47 <Cepheid> You will come out knowing more than you WANTED to know.

07:47 <Sombra> I guess the question I wanted to ask is, "WHY" they invented it.

07:48 <Cepheid> A means of preserving meat, I presume.

07:48 * Cepheid drags ConfusionRift off to fight a Fatalis.

07:49 <Finwe> I suspect it's impossible to point out a single inventor of sausages.

07:49 <Sombra> What a disgusting method of preservation

07:49 <Cepheid> I wonder if I'll even be able to kill it.  Monster health starts to get absurdly high as one progresses through G-rank.  I have trouble taking out 10k health on elder dragons as is.  By the end, I expect to see anywhere from 20k to 30k.

07:50 <Cepheid> But, if players can solo Fatalis, then so can I.

07:50 <Ali> That's like saying you can Solo Deadmines in Vanilla MC

07:50 <Cepheid> Heh.

07:51 <Finwe> Sombra: The earlies written sources mentioning sausages are about 2500 years old.

07:51 <Finwe> *earliest

07:51 <Sombra> Although I guess dry aging isn't much better.

07:51 <Cepheid> Hey, we could ferment the meat.

07:52 <Cepheid> I don't have access to the proper characters to spell it out, but look up surstromming.

07:52 <Cepheid> Fermented fish.

07:52 * Ali wraps it in cat hair....its now been.....furmented.~

07:52 <Finwe> Fermenting fish has been quite popular in these parts.

07:52 <Sombra> I wonder who thought of that.

07:52 <Cepheid> It's got a smell so potent it can knock people out.

07:52 <Sombra> Smelled it and thought, "I bet this is good food"

07:52 <Finwe> Ali: That was more like a sausage in a pun.

07:53 <Cepheid> I'm honestly surprised surstromming isn't toxic, given the description of how it's made.

07:53 <Sombra> It's almost toxic

07:53 <Sombra> It's a few molecules of oxygen to being extremely toxic

07:54 <Sombra> Same with Harkarl

07:54 <Sombra> Or, fermented Greenland shark.

07:54 <Finwe> "Hákarl"

07:54 * Finwe noms on Sombra's íslenska.

07:55 <Sombra> It's been theorized that the Greenland shark can live over 200 years

07:56 <Finwe> Not only theorised.

08:02 <Sombra> But fearized

08:04 <Cepheid> I am, for reasons unknown, in a rage, rip and tear mood.  I want to grab the nearest solid thing and, using the full extent of my rage and hatred, rip it apart.

08:09 * Ali takes Spitfire to safety

08:40 <Schism> Sounds like a good time to play DOOM or something.

08:44 <Finwe> Let's sing the Doom song.

08:44 <Finwe> Doom, doom, doom. Doom, doom, doom!

08:44 <uni> that sounds like the shark song!

08:45 <Finwe> Made immortal by the kobold Deekin in Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of Underdark.

08:46 * Finwe noms on uni.

08:47 * uni squeeeks

08:47 * uni will like to point out that is a squeek, not a squeak, and thus is copyright-safe

08:48 <uni> don't sue me Ali!

08:48 <uni> oh she's not here

08:53 <Schism> Cepheid: Whoops.  Cheryl made a substantial error.

09:00 * Finwe boops uni with the temporary nonexistence of Ali.

09:00 * Schism randomly squeaks, as well.

09:09 * Finwe hats on Schism.

09:09 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

09:09 * Schism doffs her Finwe.

09:09 <Finwe> o3o

09:10 <Schism> "A program to help people overcome their addiction to snow leopard fursonas.

09:10 <Schism>   

09:10 <Schism> A 12 Snep Program, if you will."

09:10 * Finwe finishes nomming on his tuna salad.

09:10 <Schism> Stupid copy/pasta.

09:10 <Schism> Best thing to do with tuna salad: put it into a sandwich and grill it.  o3o

09:10 <Finwe> Not that kind of tuna salad, no.

09:11 <Finwe> I had kale, tomato, cucumber, mushrooms, bell pepper, broccoli, red onion and tuna in it.

09:11 <Schism> Ah.  The typical North American 'tuna salad' is more of a mixture of tuna, mayonnaise, and relish.

09:12 <Finwe> And seasoned with white balsamico, salt and black pepper.

09:12 <Schism> That isn't too far off, then.

09:12 <Schism> But it does sound much more like a salad, and less like a paste.

09:12 <Schism> I would say it might still go on a sandwich, just not grilled.

09:13 <Schism> Maybe something more akin to a pressed panini.

09:16 <Finwe> The other kind of tuna salad I know is what we were sometimes served at school.

09:16 <Schism> Probably closer to the American version then, that.

09:16 <Finwe> Tuna, rice, pickled gherkin, green peas and sour cream.

09:16 <Schism> Hmm.  Or not.  That does sound good, though.

09:17 <Schism> Or at least edible.

09:18 <Finwe> The school lunches had some rather long repeating cycle, and tuna salad like that was always served with spinach pancakes and lingonberry jam.

15:01 <RazorSharpFang> It looks like a rock

19:47 <Finwe> Good evening, everypony.

19:47 <Schism> Now, where did I put my comb.

19:47 * Schism looks around for five minutes before she realizes that it's in her hair.

19:48 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and Schism, Messrs Cepheid, Cyan_Spark and Lumindia.

19:48 * Finwe doffs his hat.

19:48 <Cyan_Spark> Hi Finwe

19:48 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

19:48 <Cyan_Spark> about to sleep

19:48 * Schism doffs her comb.

19:49 * Finwe yawns, has worked at the brewery since noon.

19:50 <Finwe> Today's batch was Bavarian-style Hefeweizen.

19:50 * Schism has registered for the coaching position that just opened up, on the grounds that everyone has been telling her, "DO IT do it NOW do it this time."

19:50 <Schism> Ooh.

19:50 <Schism> A nice unfiltered wheat is always a delight.  Any particular notes of fruit?

19:51 <Finwe> Banana and cloves are the flavours produced by the yeast that we use, depending a bit on the fermentation temperature.

19:51 <Schism> Hmm.  More given towards the clove than the banananana, myself.  

19:52 <Finwe> Some yeasts produce bubblegum-like flavour.

19:52 * uni blinkblinks at Cyan_Spark, what is he doing up at this hour?

19:53 <uni> ooh Schism what kinda coaching?

19:53 <Schism> Well, we're basically just looking at esters and the like which bind to taste receptors, a wide variety of aromatics which yeasts are suited to produce (albeit with many other materials).

19:53 <Schism> uni: Management-adjacent, helping agents from Tiers 1 and 2 (I'm T2 right now) to not completely let down the client.

19:54 <Schism> Lot of meetings, calls and the like, some adjustment to internal documentation to bring it in line, etc.

19:55 <Finwe> Do you have god-tier agents?

19:55 <Schism> Some.  We're the ones who get promoted.  o3o

19:56 * Cepheid flops. Feels very warm.

19:57 <Finwe> It's this approaching thing called summer that's often to blame for such feelings.

19:57 <Schism> Nah, sounds like it's just Alice coming off the meds... well, could be both.  But it's a nice, coolish 25 out there.

19:58 * Finwe sweats at the mere thought of 25°C in May.

19:58 <Cepheid> I want to rip and tear, and I have no idea why.

19:58 <Cepheid> But yeh, let's see..

19:58 <Schism> Again, coming off the meds.  That'll do it to anyone.

19:58 <Cepheid> It's 23C outside, so sorta coolish.

19:59 <Finwe> We bask in 14°C evening heat.

19:59 <Cepheid> And yeah, the mood swings are the medication stuff.

19:59 <Cepheid> Especially the Cymbalta/Duloxetine.

19:59 <Schism> Eh, it'll get down to 9 in the evening.

19:59 <Cepheid> That stuff is.. known for having severe discontinuation symptoms.

19:59 <Cepheid> To the point that lawsuits have been filed over it.

20:00 <Schism> Could be worse...

20:00 <Cepheid> The lawsuits alleging that the drug causes withdrawals.

20:00 <Schism> If I find myself forced to go off my meds, I'm not sure what would happen, but It Would Be Bad.

20:00 <Cepheid> However, through loopholes, those lawsuits have failed.

20:00 <Schism> Anyway, back to work for the next hour and a bit.

20:00 <Finwe> Fare thee well.

20:01 <Cepheid> Basically, for it to be considered a withdrawal, the drug in question has to be addictive.

20:01 <Cepheid> However, it is not.

20:01 <Cepheid> We simply end up restarting the medication because the symptoms of discontinuation become so bad that we want them to end.

20:02 <Cepheid> Apparently, the distinction between a craving for the medication, and coping with symptoms of discontinuation is the key point.

20:37 * Ali grabs the Dappled

20:37 * Dappled hugs the Ali. How is?

20:37 <Ali> Very on edge, mother is going in for surgery now..

20:38 * Dappled brushies the Ali and wraps her in a blanket.

20:38 <Ali> Also Dappled, why are there no good refightable trainers in Sword and Shield?

20:38 <Ali> I don't want to grind off wild mons or Max Raid candy

20:39 <Dappled> I think you just answered your question.

20:39 <Ali> This is why I miss the Elite 4

20:39 <Ali> Five repeatable high xp battles

20:40 <Ali> But now we get three fights and they aren't that good

20:40 <Dappled> What about the Galarian Star Tournament thingy?

20:40 <Ali> From what I read

20:40 <Ali> You have to do everything with the DLCs

20:40 <Ali> And the Legendary pokemon grind gets annoying when its throw 40 balls and hope they work

20:40 <Dappled> Which involves doing a lot of the Dynamax Adventures to get Necrozma.

20:41 <Ali> Not sure if the Ultra Beasts block the Star Tourny

20:41 <Ali> But I know the Birbs, Caleryx, and the Regis do

20:41 * Dappled just used master balls.

20:41 * Dappled was lazy.

20:42 <Ali> You have 2

20:42 <Ali> While there's 8 legends

20:42 <Dappled> So there a couple methods to get more.

20:42 <Ali> Yes the unlikely lotto

20:42 <Dappled> There's another way.

20:43 <Dappled> Wondertrade in hopes of getting hacked pokemon. I found them to be plenty common and usually holding masterballs. I'd just take the ball and release the mon.

20:43 <Ali> Wondertrade as in Pokemon Home

20:43 <Dappled> Surprise Trade.

20:44 <Dappled> Home doesn't let your pokemon hold items.

20:46 * Angeline hides under Ali.

20:47 * Ali hugs Angeline tightly with Dappled

20:47 * Dappled happy hugs.

22:00 * Dappled hisses at the forward momentum of time. At least its friday.

22:01 <Schism> ow

22:02 * Schism waits while this stuff does its job.

22:07 <Schism> Ow ow ow.

22:07 <Schism> Little bit in the eye.  Not good.

23:11 * Ali flops over the Schism

23:11 * Schism squeaks, and ish not cute!

23:12 * Ali didn't say anything or imply anything that Schism is cute!

23:12 * Schism still flailyhooves. She's rejecting the possibility.

23:22 <Ali> So what do about crippling loneliness and mother is in for surgury?...

23:22 * Ali is a bad speller as well.

23:23 * Schism hugs Ali again... "I dunno... my mom's been in cancer recovery for a year or two."

23:23 <Ali> 21 years for that for my mother
