02:34 * Schism goes a'hunting for Power Moons.
02:43 <Schism> oh I really hate that cap kingdom zone.
02:46 <Ali> Its a Mario game, not sonic :P
02:49 <Cepheid> Man my body is resisting all attempts to sleep for more than a few hours.
02:51 <Cepheid> Also I feel like I'm dehydrating a tad quickly.
02:59 <Cepheid> I guess this is the harder part of the medication discontinuation. One of three is knows for causing insomnia when I discontinue them.
03:10 <Schism> 11 moons in the water zone before I even get to the boss... <<;
03:11 <Schism> Cephy: Owww. Well, the heat doesn't help with that dehydration.
03:12 * Ali boops Schism, its kingdoms not zones
03:13 * Ali tosses Schism into Labyrinth Zone from sonic 1
03:13 * Cepheid goes through the list of currently available targets in MHGU, and checks to see which ones will provide fire resist if their armor is made.
03:14 <Ali> 1% chance of drop
03:14 <Cepheid> Looks like... Yian Kut-ku is one such target.
03:14 <Ali> Cause that's what Pokemon has been doing to me
03:14 <Ali> Want a Gardivior? 1% in Fog
03:14 <Ali> Dreepy? 2% in Fog
03:14 <Ali> These enounter rates are just awful
03:15 <Cepheid> Tetsucabra, meanwhile is +10, so that's another target.
03:15 <Cepheid> Then we got the Cephalos set..
03:17 <Cepheid> Of the three, Yian has +15 fire resist. Cephalos has +10 base, but it also gets +10 to the Fire Resist skill, which boosted a bit further would easily make it surpass the Yian set.
03:19 <Cepheid> Also comes with Attack +10, so Cephalos set could be very useful. *IF* I can make it.
03:20 <Schism> This is just silly. >.>
03:20 <Schism> 13 Moons before even fighting the first boss of this zone, because I explore everywhere.
03:20 <Cepheid> The number of moons one can get per kingdoms is a bit crazy, yeah.
03:20 * Schism boops the Ali.
03:21 * Ali boops Schism repeatedly
03:21 <Schism> And just with me putzing around.
03:21 * Cepheid uses Schism as baint for a Cephadrome.
03:28 * Schism does not make good baint.
03:28 <Cepheid> Fine then.
03:29 * Cepheid uses Schism as bait.
03:29 <Schism> Nuuuuu...
03:40 <Cepheid> That was a pain in the arse to kill.
03:40 <Cepheid> Also, I am way too groggy to be hunting.
03:41 <Cepheid> That was also the longest of the bunch I've fought.
03:42 <Schism> Uergh. I'm going to haaaave to do that stupid platforming section.
03:42 <Schism> By which I mean the one in the Cap Kingdom which has the wires.
03:43 * Schism passes Cepheid a rum and lemon.
03:45 <Schism> And now, Donk City.
03:48 * Cepheid noms the rum and lemon.
03:49 <Cepheid> Likely just gonna spend the next few hours reading. Currently reading through the LP of Dragon Warrior/Quest 7.
03:49 <Cepheid> Man, the translation for that game was dodgy as hell.
03:52 <Schism> Oh. No city yet.
03:53 * Cepheid starts nomming on dry roasted peanuts. They quickly begin to shrivel up into a raisin.
03:57 <Cepheid> Man, I am too groggy to play anything.
03:58 <Cepheid> My body is telling me it needs sleep, but when I try, I get no more than 3-4 hours.
04:01 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure somewhere, a cook is screaming in horror as I mix an ice cube into this soup broth to cool it off for drinking.
04:09 <Schism> Nah, I do that now and then.
04:10 <Cepheid> But I'm messing with the delicate balance that results in the broth! o3o

05:33 <Schism> It's easy to forget that the mainline 3D Mario games are actually really big.
05:33 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
05:33 <Cepheid> Both in world size, and data size, yes.
05:34 <Schism> Mostly world size is what I'm looking at here.

05:35 * Cepheid flattens self out across ottoman and couch. "Bleh. Can't sleep. Can't play games. Can barely get any work done."
05:35 <Schism> Something like that!
05:36 <Cepheid> It helps that the game makes use of a lot of solid colors.
05:36 <Cepheid> Rather than variations, gradients, and other effects.
05:36 <Ali> Well I mean look at what the two Galaxy games did
05:36 <Ali> Best looking games on the Wii, and people kept smashing the Wii for its graphics
05:37 <Cepheid> So, you can get away with not using textures for certain things, or using some form of high-density compression that reduces an 8192x8192-resolution texture at 30-40MB down to a few hundred kilobytes.
05:37 <Ali> And Nintendo is good with that
05:37 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
05:37 <Ali> Since they've been doing it since the original
05:37 <Schism> "There are no children in New Donk City." Pffff.
05:38 <Ali> Schism, they're in another castle
05:38 * Ali bleps
05:38 * Schism mlems.
05:38 <Cepheid> It's amazing how large the data can be for some things. MH:Rise's first patch which included 6 monsters was 0.9GiB. Granted, that's nothing compared to World and it's occasional singular monsters and having 1.0-2.0GiB patches for it, but still.
05:39 <Cepheid> That's 150 megabytes or so per monster approximately.
05:40 <Ali> I mean there's games at 70-100GB and they look worse than Galaxy 2
05:40 <Cepheid> It's because they tried too hard with the detail, but yeah.
05:41 *** Quits: Dawn_Chaser (Prius@Pony-e1g60d.ipv6.telus.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
05:45 <Cepheid> But yes, Nintendo has a reputation for doing a lot with a little.
05:47 <Cepheid> The worst offenders for size is, amazingly, audio and textures.
05:47 <Cepheid> Audio because uncompressed audio is freakishly massive for any level of reasonable quality. Compressing it works, but comes with a cost, due to the fact that the best formats for compression are lossy.
05:48 <Cepheid> Textures because the data tends to increase at an exponential rate as one dimension or the other increases.
05:48 <Cepheid> Heavens help you if you decide to use 3D textures, as that makes the problem even worse. But I know of no game which does that, so..
05:57 <Cepheid> Time to lay down and read, as that's about all I can do.
05:58 <Ali> What is this POG i keep hearing about so much online?
05:59 <Cepheid> I have no idea.
05:59 * Ali only remembers the pogs as plastic milk caps from the 90s
05:59 <Cepheid> And if anyone ever finds out, I'd like for them to tell me.

06:46 <ConfusionRift> There are waaaay too many.
06:46 <Schism> I'm still torn between beating my head against the wall with regards to the Hat Kingdom's hidden area.

07:07 <Ali> Yeah but I just get sick of every video is the same thing
07:08 <ConfusionRift> And then they put up their sub graph, and now I don't care about the video anymore.
07:08 <Finwe> There's an easy solution: don't watch YouTube videos.
07:09 <Ali> Did you know that 95% of people watching my vids aren't subscribed?

07:10 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, that's not how the system works.

08:23 <ConfusionRift> Same.
08:24 <Cepheid> Started trying to master a new weapon, at least.
08:24 <Cepheid> Though I really don't know how people can use it reliably.
08:25 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?
08:25 <Cepheid> Charge Blade.
08:26 <ConfusionRift> It has changed a bit. And I feel it's mostly the change of framerate with the inputs. It can be as painful as the switchaxe, especially knowing how to use charges effectively.
08:27 <Cepheid> Even in World at 60 FPS I found it unwieldy to use. It's the timing windows for certain actions.
08:27 * Finwe noms on creamy mushroom soup.
08:27 * Finwe offers some to Schism.
08:27 <Cepheid> Like how you have to hit ZR at the right time during an amped elemental discharge to get the boost.
08:28 <ConfusionRift> And you can charge the shield and the blade.
08:28 <ConfusionRift> The timing is odd, that's for sure. But I felt there was a bigger window in World.
08:29 <ConfusionRift> I started fumbling a lot, so I kinda stopped using it.
08:30 <Cepheid> I'd say it's due to the weapon being a tad powerful that they adjusted the timings, but then... If it was because it was too powerful?
08:30 <Cepheid> Then they'd have nerfed the Great Sword.
08:30 <Cepheid> The other day I saw a video of someone doing 3009 damage with it.
08:30 <ConfusionRift> Using full swings, right?
08:31 <Cepheid> I don't know what the attack was. I'm assuming it's the final strike of that huge combo that takes time to set up.
08:31 <ConfusionRift> Then again, having touched greatswords in eons.
08:32 <Cepheid> There's a special combo that one can do with the great sword now.
08:32 <Cepheid> Apparently, it's last strike does an incredible amount of damage. Especially if the monster is asleep.
08:32 <RazorSharpFang> I have secured a mine of copper, and gotten a copper planet to ship over copper plates too.
08:34 <Finwe> Is a copper planet like the US on planetary scale?
08:34 <RazorSharpFang> It's more like a moon. It's tiny.
08:34 <Finwe> And no coppers?
08:34 <RazorSharpFang> Just copper ore, no coppers.
08:35 <Finwe> :(
08:42 * Cepheid noms on second dinner.
08:44 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, there's gonna be a DLC for La Mulana 2.
08:51 <RazorSharpFang> These waterless planets are kind of annoying. They have oil, but I can't process it without water.

09:15 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about KAMELOT - Forever (Live)
09:16 <Cepheid> Ah.
09:16 <Cepheid> It's based off of Solveig's Song.
09:17 <Finwe> Og kanskje vil det gå både vinter og vår og neste sommer med og det hele år.
09:17 <Cepheid> Hmm?
09:17 <Finwe> The first lines of Solveig's sang.
09:17 <Cepheid> Ah.
09:18 <Finwe> And maybe they will go, both winter and sprign, and the next summer too, and the whole year.
09:18 <Finwe> *spring
09:19 <Cepheid> Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt is an example of one of the few forms of classical music I actually enjoy.
09:19 * Dappled places a pink slime on the floor.
09:19 <Cepheid> No idea why.
09:19 * Cepheid slams the pink slime with a club.
09:19 <Finwe> Men eingang vil du komme, det veg jeg vist, og jeg skal nok vente for det lovte jeg sist.
09:20 * Dappled gasps! Such brutality!
09:21 <Finwe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_pJ-SXkn2E
09:21 <Cepheid> Interestingly, outside of the above song I linked, I'm almost certain I've heard Solveig's Song somewhere before.
09:21 <Cepheid> Dappled: I've been playing Dragon Quest Builders. Sorry. Force of habit.
09:21 <Finwe> She's one of the best Norwegian singers to perform Peer Gynt.
09:21 <Cepheid> ...
09:21 <Finwe> Also called Solveig. o3o
09:21 <Cepheid> Heh.
09:22 * Dappled sits here wearing a Slime Rancher T-shirt.
09:22 <Cepheid> Heh.
09:23 * Cepheid watches the slime simply reform itself. "MONSTER!" She picks up the slime and yeets it out into the slime ocean.
09:23 * Dappled sees that Cepheid is a pony of taste.
09:23 <Cepheid> Oh?
09:23 <Cepheid> Since when?
09:24 <Dappled> Slime Rancher is the best. You know Slime Rancher.
09:24 <Cepheid> Ah, heh.
09:25 <Cepheid> Any particular Finnish bands you'd recommend, Finwe?
09:25 * Cepheid gets a second wind inexplicably from somewhere.
09:25 <Finwe> Within which genre?
09:25 <Finwe> You probably know Nightwish.
09:26 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm familiar with them.
09:26 <Finwe> Apocalyptica?
09:26 <Cepheid> That I've not heard of.
09:27 <Finwe> Here's their shot at Grieg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf2aIVKp1OY
09:27 <Finwe> The ubiquitous Hall of the Mountain King.
09:28 <Cepheid> Hall of the Mountain King. Why am I not surprised?
09:28 <Cepheid> I think that's Grieg's mots well-known song, and a lot of people don't even know he made it, I bet.
09:28 <Finwe> Alöthough it starts with the leading line of Finnish national anthem.
09:28 <Finwe> s/ö//
09:29 <Cepheid> They probably think it's just a song Disney came up with, since I believe they made use of it in at least one of their more well-known movies.
09:30 <Finwe> Ensiferum is one of favourites of a friend of mine.
09:31 <Finwe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su-FEbdNTuk
09:31 <Finwe> Their lyrics are mostly in Finnish.
09:32 <Cepheid> I'd recommend some well-known Canadian bands and/or singers, but then I'd get banned from here for doing so.
09:32 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
09:33 <Cepheid> Let's see, Celine Dion, Nickleback(Considered the worst band in all of Canadian history, even by Canadians), and Justin Bieber(I... don't even need to go into detail about this one, do I?)
09:34 <Cepheid> Deep Blue Sea is pretty good.
09:34 <Cepheid> I think I got the name wrong.
09:34 <Cepheid> ... No, I got it completely wrong.
09:35 <Cepheid> And it's actuall- What? I thought it was Can- ... Bah, let me see what's going on with my memory right now.
09:35 <Finwe> Sabaton is Swedish, but it's one of my favourites.
09:36 <Finwe> Especially this album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzIkVFse7fg
09:36 <Finwe> It's about the rise and fall of Sweden as the dominant power of the Baltic Sea area.
09:37 <Cepheid> Ah, that's the name.
09:37 <AppleDash> Don't know what nickelback ever did wrong, as a Canadian I like them...
09:37 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-oC-kNtPTs Great Big Sea.
09:37 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
09:37 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Bevor Sie zu YouTube weitergehen
09:37 <Cepheid> AppleDash: In truth, it's a meme.
09:37 <Cepheid> Whether or not it's serious, I don't know.
09:38 <Cepheid> Just, that the joke/meme is that Nickleback is terrible, and that we should be ashamed for it.
09:38 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AT07v9V4-w Ah, Mary Mac. This is an impressive song from a lyrical stance.
09:39 <Finwe> From Gustav II Adolf who crushed the Catholics in 1600's to Charles XII who lost it all in wars against Russia.
09:39 <Finwe> And other neighbours.
09:39 <Finwe> He died in the Norwegian mountains during a campaign against Norway and Denmark.
09:40 <Cepheid> Sabaton, the name sounds familiar. Not sure from where, though.
09:40 <Dappled> From when the Winged Hussars arived.
09:40 <Finwe> Or Danmark, actually; Norway was just a Danish province at the time.
09:41 <Cepheid> .. Probably because I'm confusing it with the word 'saboten.'
09:41 <Cepheid> Which is the Japanese word for Cactus.
09:41 <Finwe> Sabaton is the armoured boot of a knight.
09:41 <Cepheid> News to me.
09:41 <Dappled> !link https://youtu.be/rcYhYO02f98
09:41 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
09:41 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Bevor Sie zu YouTube weitergehen
09:41 <Finwe> Comes from French.
09:41 <Dappled> Sabaton.
09:44 <Cepheid> I wonder if there are any bands that focus around Norse mythology.
09:44 <Cepheid> Seems like it'd be a given.
09:44 <Finwe> Wardruna?
09:45 <Finwe> There are many more.
09:45 <Cepheid> 'Kay, where in the hell did this second wind come from? I feel like I just woke up from a 10-hour sleep. Wonder how long it'll last.
09:46 <Finwe> http://www.wardruna.com/
09:46 <Finwe> Heilung as well, I'd say.
09:47 <Cepheid> Heh.
09:47 <Finwe> Danheim, Forndom, Gamarna, Gjallarhorn, Hedningarna, …
09:47 <Finwe> I've listened to Heilung, Gamarna and Wardruna.
09:48 <Finwe> This is a fine interpretation of a Swedish folk song by Gamarna: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy44ocuoWhE
09:49 <Finwe> It's about a pagan woman trying to seduce a Christian knight.
09:50 <Cepheid> Heh.
09:51 <Finwe> She promises everything from horses and swords to windmills.
09:53 * Cepheid does some stellar research.
09:55 <Cepheid> Hmm. Black holes can be quite small.
09:56 <ConfusionRift> Yep. But the smaller they are, the faster they dissipate.
09:57 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
09:57 <Cepheid> Well, in any case, I'm already sitting outside the realm of the current laws of physics with an idea I'm tossing about in my head.
09:58 <Cepheid> Not that it really matters in the long run. The idea is not one I'll be able to complete in a reasonable amount of time.
10:06 <Cepheid> Well, regardless of second wind or not, I will need to sleep at some point in the next few hours, so...
10:06 * Cepheid pops some seroquel. o3o
10:08 <Cepheid> Hum, the fact that Capcom's withholding any information about the next patch until *JUST* before release, probably means it's going to have a big-name target in it.
10:08 <Cepheid> Akantor. Gotta be.
10:11 <Cepheid> Honestly, I'm kinda upset they didn't bother with keeping the Clutch Claw for Rise. I'm gonna miss seeing an opportunity to jam a giant F-U switch-axe into a monster's face, and performing the Zero Sum Discharge on it.
10:12 <Cepheid> Best use of it was still that one Kulve Taroth repel. Me and another player using a switch-axe got on either side of her face, and used Zero Sum Discharge. The horns broke just as we both executed our finishers at the same time.
10:12 <Cepheid> The timing was perfect.
10:12 <Cepheid> Alas, I did not get a recording of it.

19:33 <Schism> Indeed. The bottles, though, are plastic, and therefore negligible.
19:34 <Schism> Nonetheless, these were on for the cheap, and so I decided to splurge (and hurt my back).

20:25 <Ali> Bleh, or the Cree
20:26 <Cepheid> Wait, Canada is considered a civ now? What?
20:26 <Ali> Yep, they're a major civ in Civ 6
20:27 <Cepheid> We've only been around for 150 years give or take a few years. Unless you include our time as a colony, in which case we have been around for a bit longer.
20:28 <Schism> Well, the US has only been around as a nation for 250ish.
20:28 <Cepheid> True.
20:28 <Cepheid> Hum. May patch is 1.4GB.
20:29 <Schism> Heh. It's so surreal seeing someone post, "I've got a scheduled appointment to get my balls cut off!" and everyone's like, "oh wow CONGRATS!"
20:29 <Cepheid> Heh.

21:33 <Cepheid> Yeah, except I'm still behind on sleep, so I feel like I want to go back to bed at the moment.
21:33 * Cepheid goes to get something cold to eat and drink, maybe that'll help.
21:34 * Schism pokes at FFXIV. "Stupid choice paralysis."
21:38 <Schism> Hah. "I'm going to need another human sacrifice, a jobberknoll for the direction, and coffee." "Coffee?!" "A jobberknoll's cries can last for hours. I'm not going to start a ritual like that without coffee."
