01:35 * Shadowed wriggles and collapses. Got a date for pulling my upper wisdom, I just have to last till the 28th.

01:46 * Ali snugs Shadowed heavily

01:46 * Shadowed snugs Ali.

01:51 <Shadowed> Oh look. Necromunda is out. I'll have to look up some videos of that in the next few days.

02:05 * Ali thinks Shadowed should try the 10 year Terraria seed~

02:08 * PinkieShy absorbs the shadows

02:09 * PinkieShy grows 2 feet taller

02:11 * Shadowed flops though.

02:19 <Shadowed> Fine.

02:19 * Shadowed boops the Ali. What is the 10th seed?

02:21 <Ali> 05162011 is the seed

02:36 *** unicodingunicorn is now known as uni

02:38 * Ali guesses they didn't find it that interesting... oh well.

02:42 * Shadowed hugs the Ali. I need a story/goal/something right now. Another sandbox seed isn't going to hold my attention.

04:22 * Cepheid blobs.

04:23 <Cepheid> I want to get out of the house.

04:23 <Cepheid> Debating just up and sitting out on the front porch, even if it is 12:23 AM.

04:32 <Cepheid> My cat, everyone:  I go to the washroom, he follows me, gets locked in with me.  Not surprisingly, he wants out, and scratches at the door.  When I open the door, he just sits there, tail waving back and forth, staring at me.  He doesn't even try to leave.

04:32 <Cepheid> Cats, they abhor closed doors.

05:05 <Cepheid> ... I forgot to take my pills today, that's probably why I feel on edge.

05:05 <Schism> That might do it...

05:06 * Schism checks her settings. "LifeLabs on the 7th. Tomorrow I'm going to have to contact my doctor to make sure the requisition form is sent in properly."

05:10 * Pink_Slime bounces at the ponies.

05:12 <Cepheid> EA is holding a hiring conference at my university.  I wonder how many microtransactions I'll have to pay just to get through the front door.

05:17 <Schism> For 3,700 EA points, you can get a sticker.

05:18 <Schism> Alice, do you really even want to bother?  If you think your life is bad now, imagine how bad it'd be under EA.

05:18 <Cepheid> I wouldn't mind being back on campus to get stuff done, wander around a bit and all that, but no, I would not want to do that even to visit an EA hiring conference.

05:20 <Ali> But but

05:20 <Ali> You could slap them around for killing Sim City

05:21 <Ali> T.T

05:21 <Schism> If I were to be hired by EA at any point, I would take the effort to eliminate it from the inside, yes.

05:22 <Cepheid> Agreed.

05:22 <Cepheid> And besides, I'd just be thrown on a sports game dev team, and I don't even like sports, so why bother?

05:22 <Schism> Cepheid: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/571484744542453760/849841024582025256/FB_IMG_1622679923717.jpg

05:22 <Cepheid> Heh.

05:23 <Schism> NOT MY BRAIN and anyway.

05:23 * Pink_Slime really wants Black and White.

05:26 <Cepheid> Man, it would have been nice to sleep.  But nah, my parents had to both "sneak in" to the room when I was sleeping to wake me up.

05:26 <Cepheid> First time, looking for one of the cats.

05:26 <Cepheid> Second time, to get cat treats FOR the cats.

05:27 <Cepheid> I'm almost tempted to just "sneak in" to their rooms to grab stuff.

05:29 <Cepheid> Let's see if drugs help.

05:41 <Cepheid> I feel like I should post a warning on my door that unless it's an emergency, do not disturb me.

05:41 <Schism> Here's how I look now, BTW.  https://imgur.com/a/Dw3xnNp

07:16 <PinkieShy> I suppose its the monkey as well now..

07:16 * Ali boops Pink_Slime back to Shadowed and grumps that she can't find all the digletts

07:16 <PinkieShy> The monkey that can steal your hat.

07:16 <Ali> That is a monkey

07:16 <Ali> the penguin is in the ice world

07:17 * Ali forgets the name cause well, hasn't played M64 since the 3ds remake

07:17 <PinkieShy> If Nintendo were to every truly remake Mario 64 for the switch instead of doing waht they did with all star.s.

07:17 <PinkieShy> They'd probably be selling like hot cakes

07:17 *** Pink_Slime is now known as Shadowed

07:18 * Shadowed hugs Ali.

07:19 * Shadowed 's currently doing Raid Battles to get exp candy/ores so that I can take my shiny pokemon to level 100 and get them proper EVs.

07:20 <Ali> Any version specific ones yet?

07:21 <Shadowed> Nope.

07:24 * Shadowed needs more Pidoves.

07:24 <Ali> Why Pidove?

07:24 <Shadowed> Cause I only have one shiny Pidove.

07:25 * Shadowed has like 8 Hoothoots.

07:32 * Ali flings quickballs at everything

07:33 * Ali swears as well that every den is a Corviknight or Centascorch

07:48 * Ali flops over Shadowed and grumps about Pokemon Babies and how annoying they are.

08:02 <Ali> Rained all day here

08:17 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and Schism; Messrs PinkieShy, Cepheid, Golden and uni.

08:17 * Finwe doffs his hat.

08:21 * Shadowed contues to be Ms.

08:57 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

08:58 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.

09:24 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: Leaving)

09:29 * Koopz came back from a long and successful crusade. All ork factions have been united under his command and swamped the mortal empires. The Waaaghboss even managed to pulverize the large chaos forces that threatened to spread throughout the world and turn everything he built up into ashes.

09:31 * Shadowed belatedly wiggles. Playing Returnal.

09:32 * ConfusionRift went back to Destiny 2... despite his complaints.

09:33 <ConfusionRift> I'm still upset by the changes, but meh. Some friends still play it.

09:37 <Koopz> i gotta admit i underestimated their numbers a bit (yellow names are my armies, red is the enemy that popped out of the void) https://koopz.rocks/s/2021-06-03_11-36-19.jpg

09:39 <ConfusionRift> "Popped out of the void". Man, that ain't cooh.

09:39 <Finwe> Koopz: And there's this Unbekanntes Gelände attacking from the right flank. o3o

09:40 <Koopz> well technically it's not the void but the warp :D

09:40 <Finwe> Wait, is the enemy red?

09:40 <Koopz> yes

09:40 <Finwe> So the enemy han unknown terrain supporting them on their left flank.

09:41 <Koopz> it was an unrelated tooltip i managed to capture in the screen

09:41 <Finwe> However is it unknown when you know that it is tundra?

09:42 <Koopz> the screen is also cropped so i probably had my cursor hovering over a locked region hidden in the fog of war i actually haven't seen yet

09:42 <Koopz> and will only become accessable in the future release of Total War: Warhammer III

09:43 <Finwe> I only know Warhammer 40k.

09:43 * Finwe boops Ali with a 40k warhammer.

09:43 <Koopz> https://koopz.rocks/s/2021-06-03_11-43-29.png

09:44 <Koopz> here a different angle, see the stuff in the back behind the woods?

09:44 <Finwe> A bit harsh action from someone who's called der Ewige Beobacter.

09:44 <Finwe> *Beobachter

09:44 * Ali mehs at 40k doesn't like the army the unicorn does anymore.

09:45 <Finwe> An army of undead unicorns?

09:45 <Koopz> it might've been easier if they were undead actually

09:45 <Koopz> if undead forced loose their moral they just crumble away

09:46 <Finwe> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlhQZFTvAn4

09:46 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Gloryhammer - The unicorn invasion of Dundee Lyrics

09:46 <Koopz> the chaos forces however are demons

09:46 <ConfusionRift> Huh, a not-Animal Crossing.

09:48 <Koopz> the second picture was taken in the following turn, Elbog's army which was camping right in the middle of the bunch was quickly eradicated, 3 armies were making their way to the south east and the rest sieged the city where my other army was sitting in

09:50 <Koopz> i then proceeded to escape with the army directly into the everwatching's forces because alone they were easy targets

09:52 <Koopz> i had numerous forces on the way coming from the south west and various ones in the direct west making their way to the invasion but most of didn't even arrive before the enemies' last commander drew his last breath

09:53 * Finwe is currently trying to gain the alliance of Orzammar against the Blight.

09:54 <Koopz> i actually had no real connection to pre-40k warhammer until i was recently getting forced by my buddy to try it out.

09:56 <Koopz> what's the Dragon Age dwarf's general stance on elves?

09:56 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Quit: Leaving)

09:59 <Finwe> The dwarves care little about anyone else apart from themselves.

10:00 <Finwe> At least in Origins.

10:03 <Koopz> would you consider that being wrong?

10:05 <Koopz> like, should dwarfs, no matter which movie, game or other type of media they're featured in always hate the elves?

10:05 <Koopz> just because Tolkien decided that to be a thing back then?

10:05 <Finwe> Not Tolkien, exactly.

10:06 <Finwe> They're borrowed directly from old Germanic folklore.

10:06 <Koopz> the rivalry between both races or just the dwarfs?

10:08 <Finwe> I recall that the dark elves (i.e. dwarves) mostly disapproved of everything that was above the ground.

10:10 <Finwe> Like in Der Ring des Nibelungen.

10:15 * Cepheid installs ConfusionRift into a ship.

10:16 * ConfusionRift is basically R2-D2 at this point. :P

10:16 <ConfusionRift> I shall be your worst GPS. :P

10:16 <Cepheid> Heh.

10:18 <Koopz> hmm... thinking about wether Dwarves should always be racist or not makes me wonder if - hypothetically - the we should ever reach a state in the world where racism no longer exists, will newly created fiction ever contain it?

10:19 <Koopz> -the

10:26 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm, you know? Haven't played Monolith in a long time. Then again... roguelike.

10:29 <Cepheid> Hum, what's the weather expected to be like this morning..?

10:29 <Cepheid> Well shite.  Rain.

10:30 <Cepheid> That's annoying.  I was gonna sit outside for a bit and get some fresh air while on my laptop, but...

10:38 <Cepheid> Ah, new video card announcements.  Or as I like to call it these days...

10:38 <Cepheid> "Here's some stuff you won't ever be able to acquire thanks to cryptominers."

10:38 <ConfusionRift> And scalpers.

10:39 <Cepheid> It's primarily the cryptominers driving it.  The scalpers depend upon the cryptominers.

10:39 <Cepheid> Without the cryptominers, the value of the cards wouldn't be as high, and therefore the scalpers would have less of a reason to do what they do.

10:40 * ConfusionRift shrugs and sighs.

10:42 <Cepheid> I'm stuck in a problem.  I don't want to do anything.  Code, game, read, sleep, nothing.

10:42 <Cepheid> I need to get out of the house for a bit, but again, rain.  Also, pandemic still.  Even if I do have my vaccine shot.

10:50 <ConfusionRift> Why do I find this ominous?

10:51 <ConfusionRift> I'll pick... this upgrade. | "So be it." (installs it, and ejects him out) | ...okay.

10:55 <ConfusionRift> That's what a genie would say after granting a wish, and then one finding out the mess they got themselves into.

10:58 <Koopz> does that mean cryptominers are also responsible for PS5 unavailability?

10:59 <ConfusionRift> I'm sorry... but I swear someone took inspiration from the final boss in Thunder Force IV for this boss. Then again, I expect that. :P

11:00 <ConfusionRift> Now those are all scalpers. Even though, I bet it's possible to use a PS5 for cryptomining.

11:03 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-sd90bk.tooting.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

11:03 * Schism wakes up, sees 'scalpers', and immediately swears profusely because she knows they're going to be the bane of her existence today.

11:04 <ConfusionRift> Ah, I see you have suffered as much as I have... and likely many in here as well.

11:05 <Schism> I work for a sneaker company.  There's not just one, but two drops today, and the scalpers are going to have the warehouse stripped bare within 15 minutes.

11:05 <Schism> I want to ship them at least one package with a profound stink bomb.

11:07 <ConfusionRift> Nah man. A glitter bomb, rigged with stink spray, with an airhorn.

11:08 <ConfusionRift> I want this to be as sensory overloading as possible.

11:09 <Schism> Oh, there are stink bombs which are known to be exceedingly overwhelming, to the point where small preparations have caused entire neighborhoods to be evacuated.

11:11 <Schism> Happy Pride Month, folks!  Sincerely, your Corporate Overlords, who are committed to wiping us off the face of the planet.  https://twitter.com/CBThorburn/status/1399667471439826945

11:16 * ConfusionRift sees Tediore change their logo. "That's nice." Then sees Maliwan change their logo. "Okay, you're just kissing ass here." Then sees Atlas change their logo... but it's badly 'shopped. "Dude, did you really ran out of budget or something?"

11:16 * Schism sees Raytheon Tech change their logo. "We're in a postmodern hellscape."

11:17 <Schism> At least that company's committed to killing us all equally!

11:19 <ConfusionRift> "If you exist, you can die... I mean, we will help you, just as much." | Uuuhhh-huh.

11:22 * ConfusionRift was gonna say something about this run... but decides to keep his mouth shut.

11:24 <Schism> #*$&ing APPLE branded Pride shirts?  No, piss RIGHT off... https://twitter.com/lobsterlover/status/1400144880945582095/photo/1

11:25 <Cepheid> Whee, power outage.

11:29 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift:  Of the bunch, I would imagine Torgue to be the most reasonable of the pride month logo changes.

11:29 <ConfusionRift> Oh, they would make the logo both loud and flashy, and it was always intended. :P

11:30 <ConfusionRift> *as it was

11:32 <Cepheid> Heh.

11:32 <Cepheid> And it'd even work more from a lore perspective.  Mr. Torgue is bisexual.

11:33 <ConfusionRift> Was he? Hmm, either way, he would support it regardless.

11:33 <Cepheid> Yep.  It's mentioned in a Gearbox interview.

11:34 <Cepheid> "I’m also happy to say that in Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, we confirm that Mister Torgue (an NPC who also had a DLC named after him) and Axton (our playable Commando class) are bisexual."

11:34 <ConfusionRift> Huh. That means they might have also mentioned it somewhere in-game and might have missed it.

11:35 <Cepheid> Presumably mentioned in the aforementioned DLC.

11:36 <ConfusionRift> Nooooo!!!

11:36 * ConfusionRift fails at the final boss.

11:41 <ConfusionRift> Well, looks like the game is pretty short.

11:41 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (FourthChoic@Pony-1tu24m.tpgi.com.au)

11:41 <ConfusionRift> Unlike friggin' Enter The Gungeon.

11:41 * Schism goes back in time, has a gunfight with herself.

11:41 <RazorSharpFang> Hey heys

11:41 <Cepheid> Heyo.

11:42 <RazorSharpFang> Trains were super late today. "Track failure" they said.

11:47 <Cepheid> Meanwhile here, power outage.  Lasted 45 minutes.

11:47 <Schism> No outages yet here, but it's rainy, so I'm sure there'll be something.

11:48 * Schism frowns, and pokes her stomach. "Self, you need to eat."

11:48 * Schism has a few more beans with rice and sausage.

11:49 * Lupindia boops Schism

11:49 * Cepheid had chilli.

11:50 <Schism> Boopindia?

11:51 * Schism puts the rest of this stuff back in the fridge for now. "Wurfl."

11:51 <ConfusionRift> Oh... there are cursed rooms as well. Huh.

11:53 <Schism> Oh, hm, Rogue Legacy 2 got its Drifting Worlds update last month.  Hum.

11:53 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I dunno what to play.

11:58 <Cepheid> I have had approximately the equivalent of six cups of coffee today. o3o;

11:58 <Schism> Local catgirl drinks another Monster, is still tired.

11:59 <Schism> https://twitter.com/local_catgirl/status/1400386879388856321

11:59 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:00 <Cepheid> I think today, against all common sense that suggests I should do otherwise, will be a fix-sleeping-cycle day.

12:01 <Cepheid> I should try playing some Space Haven or RimWorld.  Space Haven sounds more interesting 'cause of Spaceship Production.

12:01 <Cepheid> I'll need a crew though.

12:01 <Cepheid> And a name for the ship.

12:02 <Cepheid> Otherwise I'm calling it the CSS OH NO, for "Canadian Space Ship OH NO"

12:02 <RazorSharpFang> I'm on Factorio if you want to join, but Factorio's quite the thinking game.

12:02 <Schism> That sounds like a perfectly valid spaceship name.

12:02 <RazorSharpFang> I do hear good things about Rimworld. Would you recommend it?

12:02 <Schism> "I call it DS-01." "But it's not in deep sp--" "NOT EVERYTHING is about STAR TREK."

12:06 <Cepheid> You build a fortress, have people show up and demand stuff, build more stuff, then die horribly.

12:06 * Cepheid picks Peaceful difficulty to try and get the hang of the game this time around.

12:06 <Schism> Boatmurdered might not be the canonical Dwarf Fortress, but it's probably as close as ever will be.

12:07 <Lupindia> Losing is Fun

12:07 <ConfusionRift> Or go out, have a grand adventure, become successful, and then die the most hilarious way possible. :P

12:08 <Cepheid> Let's see... Cepheid the Security Guard in red shirt.  Schism the Salesperson in blue shirt...

12:08 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift the Programmer in... red shirt alongside me.

12:08 * Schism is a foodling... but supposes she could be a Salesperson for Rimworld purposes.

12:09 <ConfusionRift> Cepheid: Which game?

12:09 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang in a green shirt, as a chemical engineer.  None of these skills from any of us are useful.  Space Haven, Rifty.

12:09 <Cepheid> Dwarf Fortress IN SPACE!

12:09 <ConfusionRift> Ah, right.

12:10 <Cepheid> First goal... build a toilet.

12:10 <ConfusionRift> Well, it's on beta it seems.

12:10 <ConfusionRift> Sorry, Early Access.

12:11 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

12:11 <Cepheid> It's very playable, though.  And already has a significant modding scene.

12:11 <Schism> Remember how long Factorio was in Early Access.  o3o

12:13 <Cepheid> Toilet built, next up, beds.

12:13 * Schism fills the base with items made out of wood, then starts a fire.

12:13 <ConfusionRift> "Tadaaaa!" | Ho-how-HOW in the world did you make a fission reactor?! | "Using my smarts!" | I asked for a toilet! | "Oh, I don't know how to make one." | Bu-hu-but... huh?!

12:14 <Cepheid> Actually have to research better power producers, so yeh. :P

12:16 <Cepheid> There, beds, a table to sit and eat at, a toilet, all the basic stuff we need before I can start expanding the ship.

12:18 <Cepheid> I'm expecting a souped up Switch unit.

12:18 <Schism> Yeah, we're pretty much likely to get the new Switch in Octoberish.

12:18 <Cepheid> Right, let's see...

12:19 <Schism> This one will be able to run MHRise in 1080p at a blistering 46 FPS.

12:19 <Cepheid> Reports from various sources suggest it'll support 4k through DLSS.

12:19 <Cepheid> I mean, it *IS* an nVidia product basically.

12:20 * Cepheid installs algae dispensor for food. It's all we can manage at the moment because actual food production is behind research walls.

12:22 <ConfusionRift> HMS That Sinking Feeling.

12:23 <Cepheid> So, do we want a barracks-style sleeping room, or individual rooms for everyone?

12:23 <Schism> ugh.  Still want PayPal to just Go Right Away, Please.

12:24 <ConfusionRift> But are you sure you wanna make the purchase you already confirmed you were gonna purchase?

12:25 <ConfusionRift> Can you confirm your confirmations of the confirmation of the confirmed purchase?

12:25 <ConfusionRift> Are you positive of this confirmation?

12:26 <Cepheid> Ye know, the problem with services like paypal and amazon is..

12:26 <Cepheid> The moment they go away, there'll be a mad rush to replace them.

12:26 <Schism> Not quite that part of it.  PayPal refuses to change the billing name on an account without numerous pieces of ID, they autofill in the worst ways, etc. -- one of our biggest call drivers is people using PayPal.

12:26 <Cepheid> And there's no guarantee that what does replace them will be any better.

12:26 <Schism> Indeed...

12:26 <Schism> The refusal of PayPal to change deadnames or maiden names, by the way, makes me particularly upset when they then have the temerity to apply the Corporate Rainbow to their logo.

12:28 <Cepheid> There's a reason people don't trust the corporations that change their logo for one month.

12:28 <RazorSharpFang> They middle-eastern, Turkey or Russian parts don't even bother.

12:29 <Cepheid> Four individual rooms for now.  Everyone gets their privacy.

12:33 <Cepheid> "Build a water purifier!"  "... I think we can wait on that a bit."

12:34 * ConfusionRift scratches his head at this curse.

12:34 <Cepheid> Next room I guess will be...  Recreation and food?

12:34 <ConfusionRift> Gain 400% ammo on my current weapon at the cost of half of the ammo.

12:35 <ConfusionRift> Oh, cuts half overall maximum for 400% of my current. Hmmm.

12:36 <ConfusionRift> It's not a particularly good weapon, for sure.

12:36 * Schism passes ConfusionRift a wand with sawblades, explosions, and 4x shots.

12:37 * ConfusionRift notices it has a boomerang effect, and squints.

12:37 <Schism> Heh, I love when those wands appear.

12:38 <Cepheid> Fine game, to silence you I'll build the danged water purifier.

12:38 <Schism> Ah, now you can give pure water to beggars to boost your karma.

12:40 * ConfusionRift doubles his health. So his health goes from 1 to 2. "I'm gonna explode soon."

12:40 <ConfusionRift> The screen has been red for the last 15 minutes.

12:43 <ConfusionRift> There I went boom.

12:44 <Cepheid> There, Schism has a kitchen for use. o3o

20:51 <Shadowed> I desire more shiny pokemon.

20:53 <Shadowed> So my current method of shiny hunting since I can be active with it, is hunting a pokemon till I'm out of moves or health, which ever comes first, then camping so that even getting back PP gets me more exp so I can get my Shiny Pokemon up to level 100

21:03 <Shadowed> In fairness, they are still rare outside of limited time events. It takes hundredes to thousands of encounters/eggs to get even one shiny. Like best odds in sword and shield is like... 1/455 and that's only for any species that you have KO'd/Caught over 500 times.

21:03 <Shadowed> With the shiny charm.

21:04 <Ali> Shadowed, isn't the best odds in Dynamax Adventures at 1/100 with the shiny charm?

21:04 <Ali> Or 1/300 without?

21:09 <Shadowed> in the same amount of time.

21:09 <Ali> Yet its a 1/100 vs a what again?  Though adventures is limited to a certain group of mons

21:09 <Shadowed> 1/455.

21:10 <Ali> That's still not a great chance

21:10 <Shadowed> Although I would argue the best game for shiny hunting is Let's Go, as top rate for shiny hunting is 1/273 and you can see the shiny in the overworld.

21:11 * Finwe hats on Ali.

21:11 <Ali> Yeah I'm upset about that

21:11 <Ali> I don't like that you have to keep running into the mon to find out if its shiny or not

21:11 <Ali> And they have a way in the game to SHOW that the pokemon carries watts
