00:16 <Shadowed> So in honor of Pride month, did you know that every single character in Marvel Comics can be considered Non Binary except for one?

00:17 *** Joins: Sunrise_Flare (Prius@Pony-qcctpk.ipv6.telus.net)

00:19 <Shadowed> Yup, cause only Carol Danvers is the one true hero known as Binary.

00:22 * Ali flops over Shadowed and cries, unicorn scrwed up her ankle.

00:23 * Shadowed applies cold press to Ali ankle

00:35 * Ali nuzzles the Shadowed lots for comforts

01:36 <Cepheid> One, that mission was harder than advertised due to the introduction of a small fleet of S-class ships, and two, it proves that a small fleet of S-class ships is insufficient to take out an M-class.

02:08 * Ali noms on the ships

02:12 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2541 [ https://tinyurl.com/yxmzdpc2 ]

02:21 * Cepheid reverts to earlier save due to realization of a problem with this ship. It's slow, bulky, and it helps if I know where I can use it.

02:21 <Cepheid> So I'm reverting to an earlier save, and making me a superpowered little exploration ship.

02:25 <Cepheid> *Splorf* 1.5 million credits for it.  Ah well, it'll serve me well in exploring the galaxy.

04:24 <Schism> Hi, brain.  What do you have for me tonight?  Why, this looks like a lovely bundle of imposter syndrome.  You shouldn't have.

04:25 * Ali snugs into the Schism

04:27 * Schism snugs the Ali right back. And will now have to potentially curl up in bed and maybe shiver to sleep because Responsibilities.

04:27 * Ali screwed her leg up slightly!

04:27 <Ali> Then my staff quit before I really got a schedule set with them!

04:28 <Schism> owwww... x.x

04:28 * Schism hugs the Ali gently.

04:28 <Ali> And my medicaid insurance continued to fudge me over for the 7th month straight on refusing to pay the bills its supposed to.

04:28 <Ali> I am NOT a happy pono

04:29 <Schism> I'm of a mind to think that insurance companies really need to be burned to ashes and their financial resources used to provide proper care.

04:31 <Schism> I'm also going to now sleep and hopefully not dream of 69,105 ways in which I can screw up everything.

04:57 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I finished yet another game.  And now I'm gonna start a new one that a Twitter follower's been harassing me about for some time now. o3o

04:58 * Cepheid wanders back off to gaming. Not much else she can do at the moment. Few more days, and I think I'll get back to coding stuff.

05:06 *** Floof is now known as Filly_Nightmares

05:06 *** Filly_Nightmares is now known as Pony_75371

05:09 <Shadowed> You know, with the whole Dynamax Adventures, it's become much easier to get that living Dex if for no other reason than you don't have to complete any of the 3ds games to the point where you get legendaries to get all the pokemon you need to complete your dex.

05:11 * Ali flops over the Shadowed

05:12 * Shadowed hugs Ali.

05:12 * Ali is at 365 of the 400

05:22 <Schism> "An extended cut of the Super Mario Bros. movie has been unearthed 28 years after its release."

05:22 <Finwe> Good morning, everypony.

05:22 <Shadowed> Finally. After all these years, the fans are getting what they deserve.

05:22 <Ali> Yes cause we need to see more micro goomba heads

05:22 <Schism> Next on the dockets: the TMNT movie, and the Power Rangers movie.

05:23 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Pony_75371 and Schism; Messrs Shadowed, Cepheid, PinkieShy, Lumindia and unicodingunicorn.

05:23 <Shadowed> You know what really needs an extended cut though?

05:23 * Finwe doffs his hat.

05:23 <Shadowed> The Last Airbender by M.Night.

05:25 <Shadowed> Also Batman has an obsession. https://youtu.be/CM5khBveVok [The Panda Redd - Alfred Call the Guy Skit Compilation]

05:26 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.

05:26 <Finwe> Breakfast tiem? :3

05:39 <uni> oh no

05:39 * uni catches fire

05:39 <Ali> What a terrible night for a curse

05:40 *** Pony_75371 is now known as Filly_Nightmares

05:40 * Filly_Nightmares meow and nest on top of uni

05:41 <uni> oh heyo~

05:44 * Filly_Nightmares is super hunger

05:44 * Schism has chikkin... and noodles, and veg, and some steak n eggs and maybe some pancake.

05:45 * Schism offers the Filly_Nightmares some chikkin fried rice wif egg.

05:47 <Schism> Managers: "We need to reopen our offices, because otherwise why are we paying all this money for them!"  Workers: "Ahaha, a 3-hour commute for a 6 minute meeting?  [yay] it, I quit."

05:47 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7

05:48 <Cepheid> Schism:  Tokyo Xanadu eX+.  Another Falcom game.  This person's been insistent I get around to playing it, and has regularly bugged me to see if I've played it yet.

05:48 <Finwe> Capt Koopz.

05:48 <Finwe> o7

05:49 <Schism> I feel like I know that person.

05:49 <Cepheid> Possibly.

05:51 <Cepheid> They go by ScourgeHH on Twitter.  Far as I can tell they're massive Falcom fans, the kind that could potentially make the rest of us look sane.

05:51 <Schism> Definitely not someone I know, then.

05:53 <Cepheid> You may have heard of them through Floofy.

05:53 <Cepheid> Since it appears that this person follows them as well, on Twitter.

05:53 <Schism> Quite possible then!  o3o

10:49 <Cepheid> If all Surry needs are books, friends and IRC, does that make her an infovore?  Or are her friends food for her?

11:00 <ConfusionRift> o_0

11:35 <Cepheid> AMD came out with something akin to DLSS, but it works on any GPU.

11:37 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-0he86q.mi.comcast.net)

11:38 <Cepheid> Hum.  Big No Man's Sky patch, but no associated notes.

11:40 <ConfusionRift> Could be akin to a big oops.

11:40 <ConfusionRift> Have not played it in a looong time.

11:41 <Cepheid> Nah, it's probably just a patch with no release notes yet.  Or another expedition.

11:42 <Cepheid> Hmm.

11:42 * Cepheid plays X4. Does a scan, finds something unusual.

11:42 <Cepheid> Most things I've found have either been purple, indicating an anomaly, white, indicating a station or object of interest, or greyish-white indicating a lockbox.

11:42 <Cepheid> ... What the hell is yellow?

11:43 * Cepheid saves and goes to investigate.

11:43 <Cepheid> Worst case scenario, I explode.

11:43 <ConfusionRift> Red or yellow often mean bad.

11:43 <Cepheid> Purple is worse.

11:44 <ConfusionRift> Could be something abandoned, or something that requires caution.

11:44 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-0he86q.mi.comcast.net) (Connection closed)

11:44 <Cepheid> It's a lockbox.

11:44 <Cepheid> Which I can't open.

11:45 <Cepheid> Don't have the requisite tool to crack it open.  Should fix that, there's probably something valuable in it.

11:46 <Cepheid> As for purple, purple indicates anomalies, which are basically just "nearly invisible warp gates" that cause you to traverse wide distances in the galaxy.

11:46 <Cepheid> Like, from one side of the game's galaxy to the other.

11:47 <Cepheid> The problem is, some of them link to Xenon or Kha'ak sectors.  You do NOT want to be in either sector type in an S-class ship, which I'm flying for exploration.

11:49 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-qmrge1.20dc.fhnt.0406.2601.IP)

11:49 <Cepheid> Xenon being self-replicating ships angry at life in general, and thus always at -30 reputation with you.  Kha'ak just being a bunch of aliens pissed that the rest of the aliens in the galaxy are using the Jump Gate network.

11:49 <Cepheid> Long story short, neither of them like you.

11:50 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, there, got what I needed to poke that box.

11:52 <Cepheid> Okay.

11:52 <Cepheid> That's what yellow lockboxes are.

11:53 <ConfusionRift> o_0

11:53 <Cepheid> They're rare lockboxes.  Don't bust 'em when you find 'em, they disappear.

11:55 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/dPMirwX.jpg This terrifies me for some reason.

11:56 <Cepheid> Whatever it is, it's not showing up on radar, and it won't let me target it.

11:57 * Cepheid approaches cautiously after saving.

11:57 <ConfusionRift> ...

11:57 <ConfusionRift> The heck is that?

11:58 <Cepheid> Wait, now I recognize it.

11:58 <Cepheid> I don't want to be near that.

11:58 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that looks like bad news.

11:58 <ConfusionRift> Or that could become bad news later.

11:59 <Cepheid> It's a "bad news later" thing.

11:59 <Cepheid> Not 100% certain, but I think that's a xenon station being built.

12:00 <ConfusionRift> Well, from what it sounded like,, Xenon are biomechanical in some way. That kinda fits the bill.

12:01 <Cepheid> Not biomechanical.  Just mechanical, period.  Self-replicating machines as I understand it.

12:01 <Cepheid> They were initially terraforming ships but something went wrong.

12:03 *** Joins: Apple_Jack (Prius@Pony-4gntoq.ipv6.telus.net)

12:04 <Cepheid> Well if anything comes of it, I'll know.  I got the relevant sector covered in satellites.

12:06 *** Quits: Sunrise_Flare (Prius@Pony-qcctpk.ipv6.telus.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

12:07 <Cepheid> Regardless, something about it creeps me out and I'm not sure what.

12:09 <ConfusionRift> It's unusual, it doesn't look right, and looks like it could kill you?

12:10 <Cepheid> Probably.  That said, a lot of things in this game have, as of late, been creeping me out more than usual.  I wonder if it's the isolated/exploration aspect getting to me.

12:11 * ConfusionRift has been curious about that game, but feels he's just gonna get anxious and screw up like crazy.

12:13 <DerpyBot> *derp*

12:14 <Cepheid> Depending on your system, I'd advise the X3 selection instead.  Especially the later ones like Terran Conflict or Albion Prelude, which majorly rework the UI to be more sane.

12:14 <Cepheid> X4 is... hard on computers.

12:14 <Cepheid> Saving takes 30-60 seconds, loading takes even longer.  That said, once loaded, the game doesn't have any loading screens, etc.

12:14 * ConfusionRift already has X3.

12:14 <ConfusionRift> I just... get anxious for some reason.

12:15 <Cepheid> But it does consume up to a staggering 12GiB of RAM.  Currently it's at 6GiB.

12:15 <Cepheid> There, less worried now.  Back in my combat ship.

12:18 * Cepheid builds a new ship. Transport. Needs this for something.

12:20 <ConfusionRift> Gonna try it once it downloads. Maybe I'm just overreacting. I mean, I used to play Freelancer with no issues, so it shouldn't be too bad.

12:21 <Cepheid> I consider the X series to be a bit more involved than Freelancer, especially if you choose one of the freeform starts.

12:22 *** Joins: TormentedDragon (ADra@Pony-01u72n.20dc.fhnt.0406.2601.IP)

12:23 <Cepheid> Like, if you want something produced, you need to supply the resources to the station.

12:24 <Cepheid> And yes, you can build your own stations to produce resources and intermediates.

12:24 <Cepheid> If you have the money.

12:25 <ConfusionRift> I bet I'll need a lot of moola.

12:26 <Cepheid> In X4, a basic station is something like 1-2 million credits, unless you supply the materials yourself somehow.

12:35 <ConfusionRift> No. When you start any of the X3 Reunion or Terran Conflict, you're presented with really loud static.

12:37 <Cepheid> Ah, yes.

12:38 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/onqoYvX.jpg Another thing that creeps me out. o3o

12:38 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-0he86q.mi.comcast.net)

12:38 <ConfusionRift> That is... yeah. That could be anything.

12:39 <Cepheid> Anomaly.  Like I said, works like a jump gate.  Fly into it, pop out in a distant location, possibly hostile.

12:39 <ConfusionRift> "Unstable Warp Anomaly" Yeah, best to stay clear of that.

12:39 <Cepheid> This one I know isn't a hostile location.

12:39 <Cepheid> It's part of a mission so it's safe.

12:39 <Cepheid> Or rather, part of THIS mission, which makes it safe.

12:41 <Cepheid> "Of course, the universe is a fickle thing.  Once miscalculation, and we may destroy the whole system!  Ha!  Such stakes make this all the more exciting."  I'm not sure why people would think working with this person is a safe idea.

12:51 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: There's always that one researcher who you're not so sure if they're bored, calculative, or an evil genius.

12:53 <Cepheid> In this case, it's a mix of all 3.

12:53 <ConfusionRift> You're joking. That was it? That was the issue?

12:54 <Cepheid> Huh.

12:55 <ConfusionRift> Note to self: Can't TAB out of it, or all will break.

12:56 <Finwe> ConfusionRift: Trying to run old games on top of Windows 10?

12:59 <Cepheid> Wow.

13:00 <Cepheid> Which one is this?  Reunion, Terran Conflict or Albion Prelude?

13:00 * Cepheid gives random service crewman a promotion to station manager.

13:05 <Cepheid> I should probably hire someone more useful for the position, but I don't want to go running around for that, so random promotion time!

13:11 <Cepheid> I should do some cleaning before the crews arrive to do the insulation in my attic.

13:16 <ConfusionRift> Finwe: Yep, seems this game is that old.

13:16 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Terran Conflict.

13:22 * ConfusionRift thinks the game becomes more complex with a controller. So maybe no.

13:27 <Cepheid> Heh.

13:28 <Cepheid> But yeah, Albion Prelude I think would work fine.  At least, it should, given a free expansion for it was released last month.

13:28 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-1tu24m.tpgi.com.au)

13:28 <Finwe> ConfusionRift: Well, without any means of controlling, it just converges to waiting and watching.

13:29 <ConfusionRift> ...

13:31 <ConfusionRift> Game controller. If I play using said controller, I do have most control of the ship, but menus are more functional with the cursor. I can't really switch focus between the ship and cursor.

13:34 <ConfusionRift> So it'll be better with just mouse and keyboard.

13:38 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

13:39 <Cepheid> The controller is because I believe these games were released on consoles.  Not sure about X4 though.

13:39 * Cepheid tabs back, nearly slams into station. "GAH!"

13:41 <Cepheid> Not sure if the ingame tutorial covers it, but learn how to use the SETA.  That thing will save a lot of time for you, literally.

13:41 <Cepheid> In lore, it's a special engine.  In reality, it's just the fast-forward button.

13:43 * ConfusionRift nods.

13:43 <ConfusionRift> Tutorial sorta covers it.

13:44 <ConfusionRift> It's the difference between 5 minutes and 15 seconds, moving from point A to B.

13:45 <Cepheid> "Please check luggage for leftover cookies."  Good advice, station ticker.

13:49 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/FJFBLWR.jpg So... Boron are basically sea cows.

13:50 <ConfusionRift> Cows that know what they're doing. :P

13:53 <Cepheid> Clearly.

13:53 <Cepheid> That's the one who ripped open a hole in space and time.

13:55 <Cepheid> Alas, I have to stop here for the time being.  o3o  Getting tired.  Should go take a shower before sleepytimes.

13:56 <ConfusionRift> I should too, sleep that is. It is late, and getting hard to keep up.

13:56 <Cepheid> Interestingly, in X4, the SETA has to be crafted before you can use it.  And on top of that, I see no performance issues in using it, which tells me that my PC is currently has a CPU bottleneck.

13:57 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, laters.

13:57 <Cepheid> Sleep well Rifty.
