02:52 <Schism> (If you can view Twitter now.)

02:53 <Ali> Funny, but I doubt that's what that is

02:53 <Schism> Almost certainly not, but the responses of "Hey, soon she'll be a Sylveon" make me giggle.

02:53 <Ali> SHe needs no HRT for that

02:54 <Ali> And I'm sure Chloe's Eevee is a Gigantamax Eevee

02:54 <Ali> Since it supposedly can't evolve

02:54 <Ali> And the only Eevee that is immune to evolution are the ones that can Gigantamax

02:55 <Schism> Mayhaps then!

02:55 * Ali bleps at Schism as the unicorn gets too technical for Schism

02:56 <Schism> Is still cute anyway.

02:56 <Ali> Vees are da best

02:56 <Ali> Even poor Flareon

02:56 <Ali> Useless in battle, but so fluffy

02:56 <Schism> I do honestly like Flareon more than many.

02:56 <Ali> Flareon is ranked as one of the lowest Eeveelutions since it kept getting the short end of the stick

02:57 * Schism patpats the firefloof.

02:57 <Ali> Base Attack 130, but never learned a physical move until the Gen four type split

02:57 <Ali> And didn't get a strong physical stab fire move until Gen six

02:57 <Schism> The heck?  CBC's editor-in-chief disabled Facebook comments on their news articles for a month.  Good, says I. Why are people whinging?

02:58 <Ali> And like most Eeveelutions, has a shallow move pool.

02:58 <Schism> Mmmm.

02:58 * Schism foxyshrug. Returns to work.

02:58 <Ali> And the gen eight move limit has really hurt the Eeveelutions

02:58 <Ali> Since it took away Hidden Power, along with Toxic

04:15 <Schism> Tonight has been one of the more singularly unpleasant evenings I've had in quite some time.

04:16 <Schism> Last Tuesday was a given -- I'm starting to think that I'm never going to get the hang of Tuesdays -- but tonight was back to back [yay].

04:19 <Schism> ali.  hey ali.

04:19 <Schism> https://twitter.com/DrAshleyNova/status/1404467662491684865 - I do not apologize for sharing this.

04:19 * Schism boops the Shadowed therewith too.

04:20 * Ali smacks Schism around with a bit of a large Magikarp

04:20 * Ali fudged that up greatly

04:23 * Ali drags Schism over and brushies foxgirl

04:24 * Schism grumbles, but supposes she can be brushied.

04:29 <PinkieShy> Hmm..

04:29 <PinkieShy> Might rewatch BNA, Re:Zero, and more but in the native language version of it

04:30 <PinkieShy> Not the dub.. Sub :D

04:30 <Schism> I am disappointed that I can't seem to find a, ahem, source for Kashimashi.

06:36 <Finwe> Morning, my perissodactyls of minute stature.

06:36 * Ali puts a Surreal_Nightmares onto Finwe

06:37 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Surreal_Nightmares and Schism; Messrs Cepheid, PinkieShy, Lumindia and uni.

06:37 <uni> eeek

06:37 * Finwe doffs his Surreal_Nightmares.

06:37 <Finwe> “Dibbler’s the name,” said Dibbler. “But I’d like you to call me Throat.”

06:37 <uni> good afternoon, Finwe!

06:37 * uni salutes

06:37 <Finwe> o7

06:38 * Ali wavies from Failout 4, a world painted in Bethesda Brown and nothing else.

06:38 <uni> that sounds like an ideal world

06:38 <Ali> No...no it doesn't

06:40 <Finwe> I have some Fallout games, but I've never played them.

06:41 * Finwe thoughtfully noms on Ali's tail.

06:43 * Surreal_Nightmares pants at Ali and Finwe and melts on uni

06:43 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

06:43 * Filly_Nightmares mew at 20 C

06:44 * Ali puts Filly_Nightmares away from the creepers

06:44 * Filly_Nightmares pants at Ali and mew

06:47 * Ali puts Filly_Nightmares in an ice bucket

06:57 <Ali> I've never seen a cat sit and wait for a laser light toy.  Luna is just sitting there expecting it now.

07:00 <Finwe> o3o

07:00 * Finwe pets Luna.

07:05 * uni blankets on Surry, that's cold

07:06 <Finwe> Hwæt? 20°C is not cold.

07:07 <uni> it is!

07:07 <Finwe> It's 18.6°C here, hot as ever, almost Midsummer.

07:07 <uni> that's like

07:07 <uni> server room temperature

07:08 <Finwe> Although the warmest temperatures usually occur later on, in July or in August.

07:12 <uni> server room temperature!

07:26 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

07:32 * Filly_Nightmares mew at uni because her room is 25!

07:34 <ConfusionRift> That's not bad at all. Wait... (switches to Celsius) Oh wait, that's bad! Well, not really.

07:34 * ConfusionRift lives in Mercury.

07:51 <Cepheid> 24-25 is livable temperature for me.

07:52 <ConfusionRift> That's like around 77F, which is slightly uncomfortable levels, but enough to cause a bit of sweating.

07:52 * Filly_Nightmares pants heavily

07:52 * ConfusionRift gives Filly_Nightmares some water.

07:52 * Filly_Nightmares nom nom nom water and pants moar at ConfusionRift

07:53 * ConfusionRift also does some petting. :P

07:53 * Filly_Nightmares rolls onto her back and pants

07:53 <Cepheid> I mean obviously lower temperatures are better.  But for me, 24-25 is "cover up with a blanket at night and I won't sweat" temperature.

07:54 <ConfusionRift> See, right now it's fine. But during the day... friggin' 106F (41C).

07:56 <ConfusionRift> I pray for those living in Arizona. So hot that sewer covers boil water to steam and pavement melts plastic.

07:57 <Cepheid> Yeah than a bit dangerous.  Hasn't reached that temperature here yet, but...

07:57 <Ali> They at least have dry heat

07:58 <Ali> Make it 100F with 60 to 70 dew point

07:58 <Ali> And then you step out and want to die in three seconds

07:58 * ConfusionRift points at that time in the 1990s in P.R., 85% humidity at 116F.

08:00 <ConfusionRift> I don't know how I managed to do back and forth walks to and from school, with a backpack filled with every book and notebook, and manage to get home alive.

08:01 <Ali> Yeah its unbearable

08:01 <Ali> And you'd think having a breeze would help?  Think again, it just makes it worse

08:01 <Ali> You feel like you're in a blast furnace if there's a lot of wind

08:04 * ConfusionRift tries to look for a picture of his neighborhood's infamous hill... and instead sees his old neighbor's house for sale.

08:10 <ConfusionRift> Either way... (clears his nose) ...that hill was ridiculous. It wasn't as extended, but was pretty high. Having to go up it every morning was a chore. Fun on a bike though. (shows scar on his left brow)

08:18 * Filly_Nightmares presses her warm nosie against Ali

08:18 * Ali pat pats the Filly_Nightmares

08:18 * Filly_Nightmares pant

08:22 * Cepheid deep thinks again. Is spontaneously in the mood to code and game again.

08:23 <Cepheid> Also done of that damned antibiotic.

08:26 * ConfusionRift burns the antibiotics.

08:38 <Cepheid> I'm never gonna get anywhere with these projects because I always get locked up on one thing.  In this case, again, collision detection between world and player.

08:38 <Cepheid> There are certain interactions I want, but at the same time, no general algorithm works to handle all of these interactions.

08:39 <Cepheid> If I use the feeler approach as was used in games of olde, I get mostly intended functionality.

08:39 <Cepheid> But there's an edge case that breaks down.

08:40 <Cepheid> https://info.sonicretro.org/images/2/25/SPGSlopeBug1Animated.gif This is the edge case in particular.

08:41 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Connection closed)

08:41 <Cepheid> https://info.sonicretro.org/images/c/c4/SPGSlopeBug2Animated.gif A variant of it, but harder to notice.

08:43 <Cepheid> I can see only one way to resolve this.

08:43 <ConfusionRift> A third collision point?

08:43 <Cepheid> Tried that, still see the problem in very specific cases.  Nah.

08:44 <Cepheid> All pixels along one edge of the bounding box have to be checked.

08:45 <Cepheid> In doing this, it guarantees no matter what is underneath or around the player, the tiles are noticed.

08:45 <Cepheid> Of course, this comes at an increased cost.

08:48 <Cepheid> There is one particular way to avoid the issue without changing the collision system.

08:49 <Cepheid> As you said, use a third point.  Secondly, ensure that no tile is smaller than the distance between the left/right points and the center point.  Thirdly, avoid sharp edge setups like in the above example.

08:50 <Cepheid> Except, the game I'm cloning allows those kinds of sharp edges, and handles them correctly.  In fact, it handles certain scenarios that the system I'm using can't.

08:50 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

08:51 <Cepheid> Hmm...

08:51 <ConfusionRift> If it's the game I'm thinking of, it looks like the game switches between that collision detection, and a tilted/angled detection box.

08:53 <Cepheid> There has to be some switching involved, because I cannot see a generic solution that covers every case in LM.

08:53 <Cepheid> The most egregious example of what annoys the hell out of me in trying to resolve is the top of the pyramid in the Temple of the Sun.

08:54 <Cepheid> It's a pointed tip, and every collision system I've run through my head doesn't result in what happens in the game.

08:54 <Cepheid> Except one.

08:54 <Cepheid> But when I use that one approach, I lose out on other functionality.

08:58 <Cepheid> If I use a center point to test whether the player is on solid ground or not, I can use the side points to determine if the player is "overhanging" on the edge, and drop only when the condition that the center point and side points are not over solid ground.

08:58 <Cepheid> But using the center point approach breaks slippery slopes into pits.

08:58 <Cepheid> Using the center point resolves the pyramid case, though.

08:59 <Cepheid> But if I use the Sonic approach, I can get working slippery slopes into pits.  But then the pyramid case breaks.

09:00 <Cepheid> It's like an arcane combination of the two approaches is being used.

09:08 <Cepheid> The only solution I can see that covers the scenarios is to first scan all along one edge for whether or not the player is touching solid ground.  If they are, then use the center point to determine the type of tile the player is standing on.  If that somehow come back as "not solid ground", then we check the side points.

09:11 <Cepheid> The solid line test against the environment resolves the pointed tip issue.

09:11 <Cepheid> Checking what tiles are underneath the center and side points, in that order, allows for determining what to do when the player is touching say, a slippery slope tile.

09:28 <Cepheid> You know, I thought the impact of checking every single pixel along an edge would cause a performance hit, but it didn't.

09:29 <Cepheid> Not even with another 50 objects on screen, all doing the same test.

09:29 <Cepheid> Well, it does, just not a significant one.

09:31 <Cepheid> Difference between 930 FPS at 0 entities, and 800 FPS at 51 entities.

09:31 <Cepheid> And it seems to follow the slope flawlessly, and handles pointy edges just fine.

09:32 <Cepheid> Well, sort of.  There's some side effects from using a square box on slopes, but those are hidden through artistic measures.

09:33 <Cepheid> I've barely written any code, and yet I feel like I've been working hard for an hour.

09:36 <Cepheid> As for games I'll be playing in the coming days.  Either Ori and the Will of the Wisps, which may be a bad idea given how Blind Forest drove me up a wall near the end there, oooooorrrr...

09:36 <Cepheid> In light of the Metroid Dread announcement, trailer, and soon-to-be-release, play the Metroid series in order as best I can.

09:37 <Cepheid> Use Zero Mission for Metroid 1.  Then Samus Returns on the 3DS for Metroid 2.  Prime series.  Super Metroid on Switch.  Then Metroid Fusion.

09:37 <ConfusionRift> That's not a bad idea... though I would play AM2R instead, out of pure spite.

09:38 <Cepheid> Heh.

09:38 <Cepheid> I don't have access to AM2R.

09:38 <Cepheid> And I dunno where to find it in this day and age.

09:38 <ConfusionRift> I still got V1.0 on this PC.

09:39 <Cepheid> Let's see..

09:40 <Cepheid> Ah, there's still ways to obtain it.

09:40 <ConfusionRift> Yep, just found it... wait... 1.5? Huh?

09:41 * ConfusionRift thinks this might be a trap.

09:45 <Cepheid> Yeah, it is.

09:45 <Cepheid> 1.1 is the latest version.

09:46 <ConfusionRift> It's the version I got, before the whole thing.

09:49 <ConfusionRift> Huh. Apparently, someone reverse engineered the game, and continue updating it.

09:50 <Cepheid> Huh.

09:50 <ConfusionRift> Last known update was on February of last year, which added Linux support.

09:50 <ConfusionRift> Actually, seems it was reworked and balanced, on top of NG+ and randomizer.

09:52 <Cepheid> Hum.  First thing I should do today after testing that collision checking code is...

09:52 <Cepheid> Implement integer coordinates for positional info instead of using floating point, which introduces all sorts of funky problems.

09:54 <Cepheid> Or switch to fixed-point.

11:40 <Cepheid> It's collision detection is based on the feelers approach.

11:42 <Cepheid> The weirdness of Samus standing on a slope with only one foot touching it is USUALLY hidden via overlay tiles that give the illusion that she's touching with both feet.

11:43 <Cepheid> However, save rooms have slopes in them that have no overlay tiles, and the visual aspect is much more apparent.

18:18 * LibrarianofHope boops ali

18:18 <LibrarianofHope> boooop

18:19 * Ali squeaks loudly

18:19 * Schism puts her kittens towards learning various aspects of agriculture, like animal husbandry. This way they can increase their food supply and her village will grow!

18:20 <Schism> ( http://kittensgame.com/web/# )

18:20 <Finwe> o3o

18:20 * LibrarianofHope wants a frog mummy

18:20 * Ali tries to brushie the Schism foxgirl again.

18:23 <LibrarianofHope> but overall yeah

18:23 <LibrarianofHope> i want that

18:23 <LibrarianofHope> is frog

18:23 <Finwe> Sugar is often the only ingredient containing energy in those.

18:23 <LibrarianofHope> magic aztec frog

18:23 <Schism> No sugar in these ones!

18:23 <Schism> Just caffeine.  o3o

18:24 <Finwe> So it's a non-energy drink?

18:24 * LibrarianofHope glomps schism

18:24 <LibrarianofHope> fox girllll

18:26 <LibrarianofHope> finwe

18:26 <LibrarianofHope> what does bjorn mean?

18:27 <LibrarianofHope> im assuming vikings are realted to finland, im probably wrong

18:27 <Finwe> Literally?

18:27 <LibrarianofHope> yep

18:27 <Finwe> Probably nothing.

18:28 <Finwe> Bjór is beer in Icelandic, björn is bear in Swedish.

18:28 * Schism considers. "To get more kittens, or to stockpile other materials for the year..."

18:28 <LibrarianofHope> ahh

18:28 <Finwe> Bjørn is bear in Danish and Norwegian.

18:28 <LibrarianofHope> in finnish?

18:29 <Finwe> Hmm, the Old Norse version is bjǫrn.

18:29 <LibrarianofHope> makes sense

18:29 <Finwe> LibrarianofHope: Finnish is not related.

18:30 <LibrarianofHope> ahh

18:30 <LibrarianofHope> im lousy at geography

18:30 <Finwe> Björn in Finnish is karhu.

18:30 <LibrarianofHope> Karhu

18:30 <LibrarianofHope> i like that

18:30 <Finwe> And the Finnish version of the name Björn is Otso.

18:31 <LibrarianofHope> thank you owo

18:31 <LibrarianofHope> its nice you humour my random curiosity when it happens

18:32 * LibrarianofHope gives finwe a call ali cute coupon

18:33 <Finwe> Many Finns obviously joined the Vikings.

18:33 <Finwe> Or at least many people who lived in what is Finland today.

18:38 * LibrarianofHope plops

18:38 <LibrarianofHope> i dont want to be prdcutive today

18:39 <Finwe> I should go for a walk before the next hoofball match begins.

18:40 <Finwe> (which is in 20 minutes)

18:40 <LibrarianofHope> you should watch some mexican soccer commentators higlights

18:40 <LibrarianofHope> even if you dont get spanish much, youll probably like it

18:41 <Finwe> They usually just say "Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!".

18:41 <LibrarianofHope> yeah

18:41 <LibrarianofHope> and some really funny

18:41 <LibrarianofHope> are really funny

18:42 <Finwe> The last match tonight is Italy against Switzerland.

20:02 * Schism juggles resources. She does after all need to get more kittens in her camp.

20:03 <Schism> But mines...

20:04 <Schism> Well, worst comes to worst I can just set the new kittens to harvesting foodstuffs and let them do that.

20:07 * Ali wonders why Schism is endorsing kitten slave labor

20:07 <Schism> It's a village of kittens!  They're not slave labor, I'm just the overseer of the village.  

20:08 * Schism gradually stockpiles catnip to make sure they stay fed.

20:09 <Ali> you don't feed cats catnip

20:10 <Schism> These ones need catnip.  <.<  

20:10 * Ali finds this game's mechanics strange

20:14 * Schism makes sure that her kittens won't run out of food, and sets them to properly working -- then returns to work.

20:27 <Ali> Sounds like an ick...mobile game

20:28 <Finwe> It's a resource allocation game.

20:35 * Ali licks the Finwe nosie

20:37 * Finwe sneezes cutely.

22:39 <Lumindia> Insufficient fluff!

22:39 * Lumindia fluffs Schism up muchly

22:39 <Schism> Oh right, unicorns result in a catnip nom reduction.

22:40 * Schism squeaks! And pluffs up.

22:40 <Lumindia> <3

22:41 <Schism> This kitten game is frightfully well-balanced.

22:45 * Lumindia places a small kitten on Schism's head

22:48 * LibrarianofHope puts giant chonk kitty on schism
