00:00 <Lumindia> deez nutz?

00:00 * Ali grabs Lumindia and snugs

00:00 <Schism> Lumindia: The hunt targets in FFXIV are actually pretty good experience.  o3o  So.

00:00 <Schism> In Shadowbringers, anyway.

00:01 * Lumindia is snug'd

00:01 <Lumindia> all my jobs are at max level

00:01 <Lumindia> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468028388494278657/868644076327694416/profile.png

00:01 <Lumindia> as such

00:03 <Schism> I know, I knoooow...

00:03 * Schism is filthy casual, she is aware.

00:04 <Lumindia> still love ya~ *huuuuuug*

00:12 * Schism snugs the Lumindia back, and offers popoto crisps.

00:23 * Shadowed horses.

00:23 * Lumindia noms

00:24 * Shadowed wishes she had enough time to be able to play FFXIV. Would I play it? Probably not, but enough time to have the option would be nice.

00:24 * Schism is simply going around mining stuff for the moment.

00:24 * Shadowed imagines being a bunny boy. Did that ever get added?

00:24 <Schism> In Dravania.  Also, it will be

00:24 <Schism> will be!*

00:25 <Shadowed> Bunny boy is very important.

00:25 <Schism> They will be lanky, and shorter than the bunny gorls.

00:30 * Ali flumps over Shadowed and snugs on hard.

00:32 * Schism works on consolidating some of her materials.

00:33 * Shadowed snugs Ali lots. Friend!

00:43 * Lumindia yawns, crawls into bed

00:43 * Lumindia takes Shadowed, Ali, Schism, and Dranae with

00:44 * Lumindia snugs the pile of good friends

00:44 * Schism foxes into the ponypile. Wait, pony, gryphon, fox... okay, just a regular pile.

00:49 <Shadowed> Dranae. Good luck.

00:49 * Dranae pounces Shadowed?

00:49 * Shadowed pony purrs.

00:49 * Shadowed sees Noita.

00:49 * Shadowed knows the horror.

00:49 <Schism> Oh, yes.  Noita... @_@

00:49 * Schism notes to Dranae that she's "Theogrin the Eccentric" on Steam.

00:50 <Dranae> I've only ever beaten it using one of FF's seed showcases

00:50 <Schism> The horror and, on occasion, the sheer glory of getting some of the very greatest wands.

00:51 <Lumindia> that's why I just said 'pile of good friends'

00:51 <Lumindia> o vo

00:51 <Lumindia> I'm all inclusive with soft fluffy frens

00:51 <Lumindia> if yer soft, you're welcome in the pile

00:52 * Schism hums. Peers at hardsilver nuggets.

00:52 <Schism> I should scour the other servers to see if dhalmel saliva is cheaper on any.

00:53 * Ali hates MMO econs sometimes

00:54 <Shadowed> Sea of Thieves is best MMO.

00:54 <Shadowed> Or maybe Elite Dangerous.

01:07 <Schism> Hmmm... eh, I'll grab a few silver after all.

01:07 <PinkieShy> anybody here know..

01:07 <PinkieShy> If i remove somebody from steam does it tells the person that  removed them?

01:07 <Schism> I don't know for sure.  Maybe?

01:07 <PinkieShy> I'm going to remove the person that made me feel down..

02:01 * Shadowed continues to be a horse. What's going on around here now?

02:06 * Ali is a bored horse, not sure what to be playing.

02:09 * Schism goes to the Gold Saucer. She has MGP to get!

02:14 * Shadowed chews on Ali's factorio save. If it's corrupted she gets to start again and that's good, right?

02:16 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #2594 [ https://tinyurl.com/yedooqsy ]

02:20 <Ali> Shadowed, its Industrial Revolution 2, I don't think I want the save to die..

02:22 * Shadowed chews on the coal!

02:23 * Ali isn't using that much coal....yet.

02:32 <Shadowed> The clear answer on what to do is for everyone to play Claptrap together in Borderlands the Presequel.

02:36 * Shadowed is surprised she wasn't shot for that.

02:44 * Ali noms on Shadowed's ear instead

02:45 * Shadowed ear flaps!

02:47 <Ali> I don't know what to play, and Factorio doesn't sound to hot right now.

02:48 <Shadowed> Cluster Truck?

02:52 * Ali doesn't own that game

02:56 * Shadowed chews on Sins of a Solar Empire. Was that good?

03:00 <Ali> was, but the AI is piss and the super weapons are busted along with the titans

03:04 * Shadowed boots up Atomicrops. The best version of Harvest Moon.

05:59 * Ali curls up on Schism and sighs loudly.

05:59 * Schism hugs the Ali, and provides her with some popoto chisps?

06:00 * Ali isn't sure, gaming just made her more grump than she already was.

06:16 <Finwe> Morning, my perissodactyls of minute stature.

06:16 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Schism and Shadowed; Messrs Cepheid, Lumindia, AppleDash and PinkieShy.

06:17 * Finwe doffs his hat.

06:17 <AppleDash> Morning o7

06:17 <Finwe> Feels good to know that I only need to walk one more quick dash of 40 kilometres.

06:19 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.

06:22 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

06:23 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift.

06:23 <Finwe> o7

06:23 * Schism flumps. Also, boops ConfusionRift with a slice of ramen! Er, pizza. Right, a slice of pizza.

06:23 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

06:24 * ConfusionRift thankies Schism for the slice of ramen... I mean, bowl of pizza... wait... slice of pizza. That's it. :P

06:24 * Schism nods, and nibbles on a soup sandwich.

06:36 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, that reminds me... (searches this thing they call "ramen sandwich") Hmm... ...nope. (closes browser)

06:38 <ConfusionRift> Cooking and grilling ramen on the side, and using two parts like bread, with cheese and other stuff in the middle, doesn't look bad. Putting a block of ramen between slices of bread is a big no-go for me.

06:40 <Schism> There _is_ such a thing as a fried mac'n'cheese sandwich.

06:40 <Schism> The concept is as bad as the execution.

06:48 * Amelia peeking

06:48 * Schism offers Amelia a fried macaroni and cheese and bacon sandwich.

06:48 * ConfusionRift looks around the corner. "...hallo?"

06:48 <Amelia> Schism: thank you! ^^

07:07 <ConfusionRift> Screw it. Gonna make a double grilled cheese.

07:21 <Schism> Hehe.

07:22 <Schism> I'm a terrible influence.

07:26 * ConfusionRift cries as he eats a grilled cheese, sorta muffled. "Youf did thith to meee!"

07:28 * Schism puts a little dollop of ketchup on Rifty's nose.

07:28 * ConfusionRift tries to lick it off, but can't. So he just struggles.

07:37 <Schism> Oh?

07:38 <ConfusionRift> Never really tried dipping a grilled cheese on ketchup or tomato soup.

07:38 <Schism> Huh.  Tomato soup especially is well worth.  o3o

07:44 <ConfusionRift> Too bad we don't have any... and already ate it. :P

07:45 <Schism> System: "Every second you last means more points towards a better job class!" Protagonist: "Then I'll have to defeat all the foes!" Me: "...you idiot."

07:58 <ConfusionRift> Being seeing a lot of that in games, especially RPGs.

08:00 <ConfusionRift> Was reminded on how in Dark Cloud 2 they always ended conversations with a "Right." Like, I get they understood and wanted to confirm, but it's unnecessary when it's all the time, and so awkwardly.

08:02 <ConfusionRift> What could've been an "Uh-hmm" or a nod, it ends up being a "Right" or a "Yes".

08:03 <ConfusionRift> NPC: "I knew your father back then." | Support Character: "Wait... you knew his father?!" | Me: I... he just said that he did!

08:04 <ConfusionRift> It falls kinda short when you're the silent character.

08:07 <ConfusionRift> MHS2 has a lot of odd dialogue, or dialogue that doesn't quite fall in place. And some moments of dumb.

08:09 <ConfusionRift> It makes me miss the handler, for some reason.

08:09 * ConfusionRift is starting to not like Navirou.

08:12 <ConfusionRift> ...anywho... it's slowly giving me an urge to head back to World.

08:24 <ConfusionRift> Schism: "Everything has been destroyed... I'm sorry." | Oh no! I hope their family is okay. | "I... what part of 'everything has been destroyed' you didn't get?!" | Maybe they went on a trip? | "...I can't with this guy."

08:29 <ConfusionRift> I don't know why, but now I picture a villain who actually won, but ultimately lost since they got stuck with the dumb hero who's making their life that much more miserable. So they just revert everything.

08:32 <Schism> Have you seen Megamind?

08:33 <ConfusionRift> ...huh. That IS basically Megamind to some extent.

08:34 <Schism> I know I'd be the supervillainess who goes, "Okay, everything's destroyed in the war, we need to start work on reconstructing the whole damned civilization, see who we can press-gang into infrastructure management and for god's sake get the schools back up already."

08:34 <Schism> "And make sure you pay extra-special attention to what I've done to the ultracapitalists."

08:36 <Schism> "What have you done to the ultracapitalists?" "... there is a smol community named Galt's Gulch." "Where it's located?" "Mars."

08:37 <Schism> Where's it located*

08:38 <ConfusionRift> (grabs this random person, and drags them to a guillotine) | "Let them go! They have done nothing!" | Eerm, they stole from an orphanage, punched the nuns, and almost killed the counselor. If you have any objections to my decision maybe- | "Oh never mind, carry on."

08:44 <ConfusionRift> Heh, a city completely ran by villainy, but doesn't do any of the villainy. They're just an overpowered but calm citadel.

08:45 <Schism> I'd very much like to see a city run by folks who actually _have_ something akin to self-reflection.

08:48 <ConfusionRift> "I mean, I could nuke just about anything I feel like vanishing into nothing. But I won't. We need more understanding, and less brutality. The thought of actually destroying things make my stomach a mess." | ...and this is the bad guy?

08:52 <Schism> Megamind was never really the villain anyway.  Sure, he wanted to make a mess of a few things, but... who doesn't?

08:52 * ConfusionRift sees the design for Yian Garuga, and questions it... because it doesn't make sense.

08:54 <Schism> ConfusionRift, even my hypothetical utopia, Haven, would be very much a place which requires SO MANY QUESTIONS.

08:55 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, he just wanted to do things. But the hurting, killing, or even harming anyone in any way wasn't really his thing. It was more the case of just making Metro Man's day a bit more difficult.

08:55 <Schism> Just a big thing around... well, not even hurting Metro Man, just being his counterpoint.

08:56 * ConfusionRift nods.

08:56 <Schism> Like, without someone whose counterpoint you can be, it's... empty.

08:57 * Schism bites her lip and takes a moment.

08:58 <ConfusionRift> Also, yes, places like that would just be flooded with questions, moral countering, and a lot of reflection to go by.

08:59 <ConfusionRift> Likely there will be some counterpoint to it, but that's just the nature of things really. Not saying it's a bad thing, just that it's kinda expected.

08:59 <Schism> I'm sorry.  I will say, most arguments against the existence of people are morally bankrupt, that's all.

09:00 * ConfusionRift nods.

09:04 <ConfusionRift> Ah, a Great Baggi... wait... noooo, it's gonna be Jaggi 2.0, huh.

09:16 <ConfusionRift> Okay, so in MH:S series, they use this rock/paper/scissors sort of mechanic for monster and character primary attacks. In this case, Speed/Power/Technical. Speed outdoes Power, Power overthrows Technical, and Technical aces over Speed. Aside from worrying about elements, you have to worry about attack types to win over head to head attacks. It becomes a major mechanic as you progress.

09:18 <ConfusionRift> The problem with Great Jaggi is not so much it, but rather when it's grouped with Jaggis. Great Jaggi is Technical (which switches to speed when enraged), Jaggi is Speed, and Jaggia is Power. So... yeah, annoying.
