15:37 <RazorSharpFang> GME is doing its thing again. Gamestop is up 14% today.

15:37 <LibrarianofHope> old meme

15:37 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, it's old, but it's doing it again.

15:37 <RazorSharpFang> They keep shorting it, only to get blown up.

15:38 <RazorSharpFang> How many times do we need to teach you this lesson, old man??

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> they are undestaming the attention span

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> which is a good idea, but they didnt seem to balance out the need for vengeance

15:38 <LibrarianofHope> learning experience overall

15:40 <RazorSharpFang> I still have one share that I'm just holding.

15:40 <LibrarianofHope> how much is it worth now?

15:40 <RazorSharpFang> I bought it for 40 USD, it's worth 240 USD now.

15:40 <LibrarianofHope> i would just sell now

15:41 <RazorSharpFang> I bought 4 shares for 40 USD each, sold 3 of them for 300 USD each, have just the one left. I made good profit on that one, just letting the final share ride it out.

15:43 <LibrarianofHope> i need a budget

15:43 <LibrarianofHope> need to make art

15:46 <LibrarianofHope> a kickstarter could work

15:46 <LibrarianofHope> after i make the second book

16:16 <Schism> Gotta go to store to get soda... c.c

16:16 <Cepheid> In an era when USB likely was just getting off the ground, and pcimcia was only found in laptops usually..

16:16 <Cepheid> That adapter probably served as a good in-between solution.,

16:17 <Schism> True.  And I'm quite sure that somewhere, there exists a business for which it still serves as mission-critical architecture.

16:17 <Cepheid> As for needing special drivers, I'm not surprised.

16:17 <Cepheid> Otherwise, accessing data beyond the 1.44MByte capacity is a bit tricky.

16:18 <Schism> Oh, yeah.  Well, it just tells the head how to act.  Park in one place and read that way.

16:18 <Cepheid> Now, were the disk a 5 1/2" floppy, I'd be questioning the sanity more.

16:18 <Schism> That would, uh.  Certainly be something, yes.

16:19 <Cepheid> So, at least two monsters were revealed for Rise's 3.0.0 update.

16:20 <Schism> https://twitter.com/NanoRaptor/status/1397534725338587144 - AppleBees.

16:20 <Cepheid> Heh.

16:21 <Cepheid> As for the new monsters... Valstrax, the flagship monster of MHGU, which I've been working through, hilariously.

16:21 <Cepheid> And Apex Zinogre.

16:21 <Schism> Oooh... https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1397523722186092552

16:21 <Schism> Also, @_@.  XD

16:21 <Schism> So we do get Jet Engine Wyvern.

16:21 <Cepheid> Yep.

16:21 <LibrarianofHope> a client died

16:21 <Cepheid> But given the size of the patch, I'm sure there's more.

16:21 <LibrarianofHope> now i have undertaker duty

16:22 <Schism> Be careful not to drop the coffin.

16:22 <LibrarianofHope> sad part of the job

16:22 <Cepheid> My... condolences?  What do I say when it's a client who passes, whom you likely have little emotional attachment to?

16:22 <LibrarianofHope> i didnt have any

16:22 <LibrarianofHope> im an insurance broker

16:22 <Schism> I'd say 'My condolences for getting roped into this'.

16:24 <Schism> Oh no... https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1397528889098784771

16:24 <Schism> Evidently the whole thing is viable?

16:25 <Schism> Or at least much of it is.

16:25 <Cepheid> Yeah, they dumped one of the ROMs, so it's probable the chips are still good.

16:25 <LibrarianofHope> offer dark prayers to it

16:25 <Cepheid> Just need a new board.

16:25 <Cepheid> The board looks like it's about to fall apart.

16:26 <Schism> I feel like reading foone is going to be a hole into which I'll fall forever.

16:26 <Cepheid> Honestly I wish I could get my hands on viable, usable equipment like that.  I wouldn't mind playing around in old DOS-era, pre-protected-memory operating system conditions for programming.

16:27 <Schism> Oh, heavens.  Well, if nothing else it would teach you to be careful.

16:27 <Cepheid> I already know what to do in the era before protected memory.

16:28 <Cepheid> In fact, I can still, arguably, access it with some recent hardware.

16:28 <Schism> Create glitches like the one in TRON which caused the program to worm its way into everything else in active memory?

16:28 <Cepheid> "Recent" being within the last two decades.

16:28 <Cepheid> You'll need a 32-bit CPU, to begin with.

16:29 <Cepheid> 64-bit gets rid of Real Mode, so you can't do it on those CPUs.

16:29 <Cepheid> Once you obtain a system that has Real Mode, just go play with that.  Create a bootloader that can read from a FAT32 partition, then have it load an application from disk.

16:30 <AppleDash> Post on Kijiji, wait awhile. You'll get plenty of bites.

16:30 <Cepheid> Heh.

16:30 <DerpyBot> *derp*

16:30 <Cepheid> Alternatively, I could just use a simpler solution.

16:30 <Schism> "The S100 bus wasn't 'designed' so much as 'happened'."

16:30 <Cepheid> Emulation, more or less.  Pretty sure QEMU would suffice.

16:30 <Schism> "it turns out the fan won't spin if it's not plugged in"

16:31 <Schism> aaaaaaa https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1397546597194502146

16:31 <Cepheid> Create simple system, install DOS... what, 6.22 I think it was that was the most recent prior to Windows 95?  Then start writing code.

16:31 <AppleDash> Emulation is no fun

16:31 <Schism> Yes, 6.22 was the last version.

16:32 <Cepheid> Writing a DOS 6.22 app would suffice, since unless you use a memory expander, everything is in real-mode.

16:32 <Cepheid> The above suggestion of a bootloader is when you want to do things the REALLY OLD WAY.

16:33 <Schism> "Do not leave the computer running unattended for any great length of time."  Or... what, it'll get up and walk away?  (But they probably mean 'catch fire'.)

16:34 <Cepheid> Probably less halt-and-catch-fire, and more endurance-starts-dropping.

16:34 <Schism> I dunno, considering those capacitors...

16:36 <Schism> https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1397564345039540228

16:36 <Cepheid> Looks line June for Rise will be the month of "... Why is this character even in this game?"

16:36 <Cepheid> Collaborations aplenty.

16:37 <Cepheid> Also, hum.  It's not explicitly Valstrax as it was in MHGU.  It's a variant of it.  Crimson Glow Valstrax.

16:38 <Schism> I'm sure adding more adjectives to it won't make it any more dangerous.

16:38 <Cepheid> Looks like they also just up and stopped limiting new Apex monsters to Rampage quests.  Apex Zinogre gets standard quests, alongside Apex Rathalos and Apex Diablos.

16:39 <Cepheid> Oh, I meant "June to August" not just June.  Collabs aplenty.

16:40 <Cepheid> What I find interesting though is the patch notes.

16:40 <Cepheid> There's something weird going on.

16:40 <Schism> owo?

16:40 <Cepheid> There are bugs that existed in World that affect Rise, that are being fixed in Rise.  As if none of the bug fixes from World were ever applied to Rise during development.

16:41 <Schism> Might be coincidence.  "Whoops, right, we forgot this happened."

16:41 <Cepheid> There's a bug fix involving decorations becoming unequipped when equipping a loadout that contains the same decorations.  This bug existed in World, as well.

16:42 <Cepheid> I think it's more along the lines of "Development of Rise started when World was initially released, but none of the bug fixes for World were backported to Rise."

16:43 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, that all said, I wish Capcom wouldn't mix their Stories 2 info with Rise.

16:43 <Cepheid> Stories 2 has a scene that initially gave me some hope for one other monster.

16:43 <Cepheid> They depicted a scene involving a fight between a Nergigante and Rathalos.

16:47 <Cepheid> ICBM data transfer.  That's definitely a powerful sneaker net.

16:49 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, heard of this Lemonade nonsense?

17:35 <LibrarianofHope> lemonade?

17:42 <Cepheid> Hum.

17:42 <Cepheid> We have a maple tree growing in our front yard.

17:42 <Cepheid> We're gonna have to rip that sucker up.  Not enough space for two trees.

17:44 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, the company named Lemonade, an insurance business, has made a suggestion that they might possibly create an algorithm to determine the viability of applicants based on such things as, oh, the shape of their skulls.

17:45 <Schism> Shockingly, this has not been met with positivity.

17:46 <Cepheid> That's a fine way of expressing "Determine the viability of applicants based on such things as, oh, racism."

17:46 <LibrarianofHope> ahh

17:46 <LibrarianofHope> the actual method is an idiotically hard formula

17:47 <LibrarianofHope> the math is stupid hard

17:47 <LibrarianofHope> like finwe level hard

17:47 <Schism> Yes, and I am of a mind to suggest that retrophrenology be practiced upon the people who have decided to forego real actuarial statistics.

17:48 * uni quietly has a breakdown in a corner

17:48 <LibrarianofHope> just bonk them woth the phrenologu busgt

17:48 <uni> so as it turns out, break path and break path at node are two different things in inkscape

17:48 * LibrarianofHope hugs uni for great justice

17:48 <uni> I want my 5 hours back

17:48 * Schism hugs the uni. :<

17:48 * LibrarianofHope glopms ali

17:48 * uni poutyfaces

17:48 <uni> hmmmmmph

17:49 <uni> I also crave sushi

17:49 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, phrenology is the idea that the shape of one's skull can provide insights into one's whole existence!  In that vein, retrophrenology suggests that by altering the shape of one's skull, one can bring those facets into reality.

17:49 <Schism> What you actually get is hit on the head with a variety of entertainingly-sized mallets, but it keeps the money in circulation.

17:50 <LibrarianofHope> medical concussions, fun times

17:50 <Ali> Cepheid, its a freaking apple product

17:50 <Ali> When is an apple NOT expensive

17:51 <uni> ah so Schism, what you are telling me is that there are people making money out there by hitting people on the head

17:51 <Schism> It's the second oldest profession.

17:51 <LibrarianofHope> owo

17:52 <Cepheid> Schism:  Basically, from the get-go, it sounded like someone commissioned Lemonade to come up with a way to refuse insurance claims for a certain group of individuals because "You're <X>, current trends indicate that you're likely to get shot to death by police, we can't take you on as you're a risk."

17:52 <Schism> Can't possibly imagine what group that might be.

17:53 * Schism coughs.

17:53 <LibrarianofHope> i can vouch for the not wanting ti pay part

17:53 <Cepheid> It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, I just didn't want to state it directly because I know for a damned fact that someone would pop in at the worst time and say something.

17:53 <Schism> It is the central point of the insurance business that they come up with millions of ways to not pay.

17:53 <LibrarianofHope> yep

17:53 <Cepheid> It's a central point of companies in general to not pay out anything if they don't have to.

17:54 <Cepheid> Case in point, the company behind the store where my mother broke her leg is trying to argue that she was hyped up on various drugs.

17:54 <Schism> Yes'm, but the insurance business is one of the few which is predicated on the concept that 'if you sign up, and something happens, we'll pay you'.

17:54 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, that's not a "winning" business strategy.

17:54 <Schism> Which simply makes it ... yeah.

17:55 <Cepheid> I'm actually not sure how they expected such companies to survive financially.

17:55 <LibrarianofHope> youll be surprised

17:55 <Schism> That's why actuaries exist.

17:55 <Schism> As Finwe will no doubt be able to describe, though, the insurance market in Ankh-Morpork lasted a full 30 minutes before the advent of Burning Tuesday.

17:55 <Cepheid> The number of claims would easily outstrip and outrank the amount of money made from the monthly payments they receive for their coverage.

17:55 * Finwe nodnods.

17:56 * Finwe also reminds Schism of the Pork Futures Warehouse.

17:56 <Schism> Ah, of course.  Cepheid, you might like that place.  :p

17:56 <Cepheid> Heh.

17:56 * Cepheid wanders off to try and take a nap, as they are exhausted right now.

17:56 <Schism> The idea goes like this.  There is a market for pork futures.  That is to say, pork which hasn't been sold.

17:57 <Finwe> Produced, actually.

17:57 <Schism> And doesn't, strictly speaking, exist.  However, there is a thing about the Disc, and that's that metaphors tend to become reality in an interesting fashion.

17:57 <Schism> Therefore, the Powers that Be (e.g. Lord Vetinari) decided that a warehouse should be built to house the nonexistent pork in situ.

17:58 <Finwe> A cold warehouse, lest the pork get spoiled.

17:58 <Schism> It's bitterly cold, and therefore ideal for silicon-brained trolls -- and contains the idea of pork.

17:58 <LibrarianofHope> conceptual trade

17:59 <Cepheid> Of course, napping is not gonna happen here.  Pointless effort.  But at least laying down feels nice.

17:59 <LibrarianofHope> magic stonks, if you will

17:59 <Schism> Laying down is a pleasure, aye.

18:01 <Schism> Finwe: O' course, der Brecchia is but a myth, like dat fairy what leaves tooths under pillows.

18:01 <Cepheid> But yeah, living in a freezing warehouse would appeal to me.

18:01 <Cepheid> I've been known to stand for minutes at a time in the freezers at grocery stores.

18:02 <Cepheid> Like, the back room freezers, when I worked at such stores.

18:03 <Schism> I know that feeling, especially on the really busy days.

18:03 <Schism> Hmm.  A troll assassin.  Jasper Chrysoprase, the one and only troll who ever took the Black, and who actually did complete at least one or two contracts.

18:03 <Cepheid> Even on quiet days for me.

18:03 <Cepheid> One of these days doctors will figure out why my body runs as hot as it does.

18:04 <Cepheid> Just last night, I had made some spicy soup, and I barely ate any of it, and my entire body went into a horrible, burning sweat for 15 minutes.

18:08 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/Roky5mS

18:10 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/ZeiSab2

18:13 <Schism> That latter one... awwwr.

18:13 <Finwe> The former… shark!

18:13 <Finwe> Or "hai" in Finnish. o3o

18:14 <Schism> Said video: https://youtu.be/G8LmxwOgBhA

18:14 <Finwe> So she's a hooker of a kind.

18:20 <LibrarianofHope> hai?

18:20 <LibrarianofHope> hi!

18:20 <LibrarianofHope> hello

18:25 <Cepheid> https://imgur.com/gallery/9Qf6pyb Huh.

18:26 <Cepheid> Learn something new every day.  Don't consume activated charcoal if you're on life-saving medications.

18:27 <Schism> Makes sense!

18:28 <Schism> Like, if I took activated charcoal, welp, I guess that means I get to take another round of cypro and estradiol.

18:31 * uni blinkblinks, Schism is taking oral estradiol?

18:32 <Schism> Sublingual, but yes.

18:32 <uni> oh okie~

18:32 * uni was about to comment on absorption efficiency

18:32 <Schism> I know, and I'm probably going to talk to my GP about switching over to subcutaneous.

18:33 <Schism> Though sublingual is working well for me!

18:33 * Schism headtilts at uni, too.

18:34 * uni squeaks?

18:34 <Schism> More trans folks here than I expected... if applicable!

18:34 * Schism headtilts.

18:35 <Schism> Or more folks who are familiar with this sort of thing.

18:35 * uni has read in the past

18:35 <Schism> https://twitter.com/stavvers/status/1318124574832267264

18:36 * Schism noddles.

18:36 <Schism> Lots of literature to read...!

18:37 <uni> hehe, that's a classic~

18:37 <uni> and yep, it's pretty interesting

18:41 <Schism> There are two wolves inside you.  https://twitter.com/Kazuyalegrey/status/1397213682040455179

18:44 <uni> hehe

18:44 <uni> I wonder what happened to the Moon Moon memes

18:45 <Schism> Peak Moonmoon: https://twitter.com/nywolforg/status/1396796872367374340

18:46 * uni giggles

18:46 <uni> also this drawing is becoming an eclectic mix of paths, hmph

20:47 <LibrarianofHope> frutal circles

20:47 <LibrarianofHope> with samuel the tucan

20:48 * Dappled also has a towel hat which he just learned today.

20:50 <LibrarianofHope> ahh

20:50 <LibrarianofHope> fancy

20:50 <LibrarianofHope> i have

20:50 <LibrarianofHope> a fox girl

20:51 <LibrarianofHope> im actually feeling excited to create stuff again

20:51 <LibrarianofHope> owo

20:51 * LibrarianofHope pokes schism, cause real fox girl

20:54 * LibrarianofHope pokes dappled

20:54 <LibrarianofHope> i need attention

20:54 * Dappled wriggles.

20:54 <LibrarianofHope> and im not cute like ali

20:54 <LibrarianofHope> so i poke

20:56 * Dappled ponders getting a vtuber model. He has no time to actually stream, but it'd be a nice thing to have for video chats or whatever.

20:57 <LibrarianofHope> its in vogue

20:58 <LibrarianofHope> heck i actually know who calliope mori is owo

20:58 * Dappled headtilts.

20:58 <LibrarianofHope> this fact has brought me great distress

20:58 <LibrarianofHope> i can tell you very deep data on em

20:58 <LibrarianofHope> mori and the phoenix girl

20:59 <LibrarianofHope> if that sentence does not make sense to you, then the data is of no use to you

20:59 <LibrarianofHope> owo

20:59 <Cepheid> Tizzy, would it kill you to get the food in your mouth?

20:59 * Dappled understands nothing.

21:00 <LibrarianofHope> at any rate

21:00 <Cepheid> Calliope Mori is a vtuber, depicted as a grim reaper.

21:01 <Cepheid> Supposedly a good singer, though I haven't checked.  Also, apparently all of her fans are called "Deadbeats"?

21:01 * Dappled has only seen like... Pren, MothXO, and Clara Slimeford and only through Tiktoks. Although, Clara puts stuff on the Youtube so I'm watching her Stardew Valley LP.

21:02 <LibrarianofHope> at any rate x 2

21:02 <Dappled> Nya?

21:02 <LibrarianofHope> dont you need a gimmick?

21:02 <LibrarianofHope> if you are getting a vtuber model, you need a gimmick

21:02 <Dappled> For Streaming, sure. For having a face tracking model for video chatting? Not really.

21:03 <LibrarianofHope> get it anyway, you could eventually stream

21:03 * Cepheid flops about.

21:03 <LibrarianofHope> future proof it

21:04 <Cepheid> If mine had a gimmick at all, were I to make one, it'd be that no matter what, the character always looks like a child with crayons drew it.

21:04 <Cepheid> Mostly because that's the best I can do.

21:05 <LibrarianofHope> owo

21:05 * Dappled holds up the mountains of dead or waiting to be played D&D characters because he is horribly indecisive and changes his mind way to often. Anything I came up with now would lose interest to me by the time I actually had the time/energy/motivation to actually stream.

21:05 <LibrarianofHope> dark skinned fox girl

21:05 <LibrarianofHope> redheaded dark skinned fox girl

21:06 <LibrarianofHope> do that

21:06 <Dappled> Yeah, no.

21:07 * Cepheid points out that Dappled meant "dead or waiting to die D&D characters"

21:07 <LibrarianofHope> why not?

21:07 <LibrarianofHope> is good

21:07 <LibrarianofHope> or a mimic girl

21:07 <Dappled> Because I'm very white IRL, and I'm not doing black face.

21:08 <LibrarianofHope> does it count?

21:08 <Cepheid> It does.

21:08 <LibrarianofHope> ahh

21:08 <LibrarianofHope> i was just pitching a character design i have in my head

21:09 <LibrarianofHope> mimic girl then

21:09 <LibrarianofHope> big teeth

21:12 <Dappled> Waiting to Die implies that they get to be played, Cepheid.

21:12 * Dappled looks at the D&D/Pathfinder Monster Manuals for what he would base his model on if he could choose.

21:13 <Cepheid> Beholder. o3o

21:13 * Dappled doesn't have enough beauty for that.

21:14 <Cepheid> I... what.

21:14 <Dappled> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E1R9JtjWEAYX46m.jpg:large [Beholder]

21:14 <Cepheid> ...

21:14 * Cepheid gouges out eyes.

21:14 <Cepheid> Don't ever show me that again.

21:16 <LibrarianofHope> owo

21:16 <Dappled> Beholders are cute.

21:17 <LibrarianofHope> lich girl

21:17 <LibrarianofHope> wait thats done

21:17 <LibrarianofHope> skeleton

21:17 <LibrarianofHope> femele undead knight

21:17 <LibrarianofHope> that could be viable

21:17 <Cepheid> Eldritch horror catgi-  Wait, already done.

21:18 <Cepheid> Eldritch horror moth-  Wait, that's been done too.

21:18 <LibrarianofHope> really?

21:18 <LibrarianofHope> in vtuber?

21:18 <Cepheid> Indeed.

21:18 <Cepheid> Let me see if I can find the video.

21:18 <LibrarianofHope> heck

21:18 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvbWEtFK9x0 Her basic form, and what she calls Full Moon form.

21:19 <LibrarianofHope> first form, cute, second form, freaking dark souls boss

21:19 <Dappled> That is full Bloodborne.

21:19 <LibrarianofHope> yeah that

21:20 <LibrarianofHope> im very open minded

21:20 <LibrarianofHope> but heck

21:20 <LibrarianofHope> gonna watch that

21:20 <LibrarianofHope> lucnh time brb

21:20 <Cepheid> She has a design that's the opposite end of the spectrum, a small fluffy ball of adorbs.

21:21 * Dappled desires to be Flumph.

21:21 <Cepheid> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5APF0QQjySo

21:22 <Dappled> https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Flumph

21:22 <Cepheid> Heh, that could work.

21:25 * Cepheid flops off to take a shower.

21:40 * Dappled flails! He doesn't have enough time to complete his shiny dex before Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl.

21:41 * Dappled also demands Ali tell him which game she gets before she gets one.]

21:45 * Lumindia_ boops Dappled

21:45 * Dappled flumphs at Lumindia_.

21:45 <Lumindia_> flumph?

21:45 <Lumindia_> what's a flumph?

21:45 <Lumindia_> is that related to a flop?

21:45 * Dappled points at the link.

21:46 <Cepheid> It's a D&D monster.

21:46 <Lumindia_> they look like weird jellyfish

21:46 <Lumindia_> they're cute

21:46 <Dappled> It's a communist space jellfish.

21:46 <Lumindia_> I like them

21:46 <Cepheid> Arguably, anything can be made cute.

21:48 <Lumindia_> how about a cacodemon? https://i.imgur.com/6Kf9ICQ.jpg

21:50 <Dappled> I... I have concerns.

21:50 <Lumindia_> they might be warranted

21:50 <Lumindia_> https://i.imgur.com/S1S3sYB.png but look how cute this one is

21:51 <Lumindia_> https://i.imgur.com/yCmn9vM.png and this one

21:51 * Angeline climbs onto Dappled.

21:51 * Angeline curls up.

21:52 * Dappled hugs the Angeline friend!

21:52 * Lumindia_ offers Angie a plush cacodemon. It may or may not have a squeaky thing embedded in it

21:53 <Cepheid> I'm of the impression that the Cacodemon was designed to be cute, especially in DOOM 2016 and Eternal.

21:53 <LibrarianofHope> owo

21:54 <LibrarianofHope> i watched the moth demon goddess

21:54 <Cepheid> Seems too out of place among the other monsters, heh.

21:54 <LibrarianofHope> there is nothing you can put on a vtuber chat that wont elicit a "im into that " response

21:55 <LibrarianofHope> that isnt illegal in very harsh ways

21:56 <LibrarianofHope> im gonna sub to the moth demon, that is fun

22:00 * Cepheid installs a better CFW on PS Vita.

22:01 <Cepheid> One of these days I should try writing software for one of the many devices I have, just to see how difficult it is.

22:03 * Cepheid is about the void the warranty of their vita. Pretty sure it's void itself long ago.

22:04 * Dappled falls into the void?

22:04 <LibrarianofHope> try to claim warranty on a vita, youll get slapped

22:04 * Dappled also tries to explain to the small furry thing next to him that she has kitty bones.

22:07 <Dappled> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LwpYrEUxyQ

22:21 * Dappled chews on Dialga?

22:23 <Ali> I'm really starting to run out of mons to find, or I don't know where they are, or the stupid weather is a block
