05:50 <Schism> FFXIV, full game, $24.  I hate sales.  https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/564956/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download

05:51 <Ali> Yeah but you still have to pay for the monthy fee right?

05:53 * Ali nyams on Schism tails

05:54 <Schism> Correct.

05:56 <Ali> This is one reason I really can't do MMOs anymore

05:56 <Ali> I can't ever justify the constant cost of playing a game that three days later I'll despise

06:02 * Schism stretches her arm. A moment later, she curses repeatedly. "FfffFFfFffFFFFFF>..."

06:03 <Ali> Touch the boober or pull a muscle?

06:03 <Schism> Muscle stretch.

06:04 <Schism> I'm trying to turn my muscles into a set which can actually take a scrub brush and run it across my skin.  This is rather troublesome.

06:06 <Schism> It is surest pain.  It is also an excellent way to stretch.  ow.

06:14 *** Joins: Dakota (dwhitevalle@always.broken.sometimes.patched.never.fixed)

06:16 * Ali snugs the Schism carefully then.

06:16 * Schism takes a few points of exercise. Crunches, some pushups, some stuffs.

06:21 * Schism now hates herself.

06:21 * Ali pat pats the Schism carefully and offers tail to nom on.

06:22 <Schism> hallo.  -*flumps across the floor into Ali-*

06:22 <Schism> I need to get some sort of exercise game.

06:22 <Schism> I think it should be okay...

06:22 <Ali> Too bad the Wii way old

06:23 <Ali> Cause it had Wii Fit

06:23 <Schism> Wii Fit is still fine...

06:24 <Ali> But try finding a copy

06:24 <Ali> And still have your Wii

06:24 <Schism> I can't possibly imagine who would have Dolphin in this day and age.

06:25 * Ali raises hoof

06:25 * Schism looks innocent. Hasn't anything of the sort.

06:25 * Ali also puts an NES, N64, Sega, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, and Switch on Schism

06:30 * Ali bleps at Schism

06:31 * Schism also picks up an 8BitDo. She surely doesn't intend to make use of it for Reasons.

06:31 * Schism also boops the Ali and provides a slice of key lime pie. <.<

06:31 <Schism> I also now may or may not have a slice of something underneath my tongue.

06:32 <Ali> *redacted*

06:32 <Schism> Is just a piece of pill which tastes like sugar...

06:32 <Schism> Mildly thereof.  https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/transincidental/dont-forget-your-e/viewer?title_no=605328&episode_no=36

06:34 <Ali> Pixie sticks

06:37 <Schism> It's not that sugary, but it's certanly sweet enough.

06:38 <Schism> Sublingual pills will also render you incapable of speaking for about a half an hour.

06:40 <Ali> Wut?

06:40 *** Quits: Pony|98068 (Pony98068@Pony-taj8dp.cable.virginm.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

06:41 <Schism> Well, you have to hold them under your tongue to properly dissolve the pills.

06:42 <Schism> There are tricks to do so.  Typically, though, you need to just keep them there for a protracted period.

06:42 <Ali> TILL IT MELTS~

06:42 * Ali bleps

06:42 <Schism> Exactly.

10:52 * Shadowed 's current pokemon team pre Whitney is Spinarak, Flaaffy, Geodude, Quilava, Spearow, and Furret... I think this is a good combo. Just need to get them up to proper level before the gym.

10:53 <Schism> Going to be trying to paralyze Milty with Flaaffy's Static?

10:54 * Shadowed was actually just going to smokescreen her acurracy into the ground. If it can't hit, it's damage won't increase.

10:55 <Schism> Also not a bad idea.  I'd probably use both, though -- paralysis does optimally preclude Rollout from doubling up.

10:56 * Schism headtilts. "Why did they rename 'ground' to 'field'?"

10:56 * Shadowed won't rely on static for that, but Thunder Wave.

10:56 <Schism> Oh wait, egg group, nevermind.

10:57 <Schism> Ah, thunder wave is ideal, yes.

10:57 * Shadowed really wants to pull the Celebi, Jirachi, and Mew off this cartridge. Can't do that till post Elite 4 though.

10:58 * ConfusionRift just thought of something.

10:59 * Shadowed headtilts at ConfusionRift.

11:00 <ConfusionRift> Ratha (Jr.) came from an egg, from Ratha (original). Ratha is a Rathalos... but aren't Rathalos male, with Rathians being female? (scratches his head) The more I play this game, the more it feels that it's mostly a made by someone who has a vague idea about the MH series.

11:02 <Shadowed> Life, uh, finds a way?

11:03 * Shadowed 's going to assume from now on that Ingen is why the Monster Hunter world is the way it is.

11:03 <ConfusionRift> "Egg." | Yes. Where did it come from? | "Egg." | Yes yes, but where did it- | "E G G ! ! !" | ...fine.

11:03 <Schism> "Egg." "Stop turning people into--" "Egg." "..."

11:04 <ConfusionRift> Freakin' eggmancers. :P

11:04 * Schism snrks at Malori remaining adorable in this week's Mage & Demon Queen.

11:05 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh niiiice. There's a cold/heat mechanic in the game. Great. (Totally missed that.)

11:05 * Shadowed 's worried about Queen Vel though!

11:06 <Schism> I suspect that now that wannabe demon king is going to get fed his own tail.

14:34 <Finwe> We only used one kilogram of caramelised rye malt for a batch of 60 litres.

14:46 <uni> hm that isn't a lot right?

14:57 <Finwe> No, it gives the beer a brown hue.

14:58 <Finwe> To get very dark beer you'd need a lot more Cara Rye malt.

15:01 <Finwe> Or other dark malts, like dark Crystal malt.

18:33 <Schism> Tennys Sandgren is an Olympic athlete currently residing in Tennessee, whose parents met at a tennis court.  Guess what sport he plays.

18:43 <Cepheid> Soccer.

18:44 <Schism> Also, what the hell, Activision/Blizzard?

18:44 <Schism> They've hired a union-busting firm.  The same one hired by Amazon to keep their workers from unionizing.

18:45 <Cepheid> Are you surprised?

18:46 <Schism> Only in the sense that I wasn't expecting even more cartoonish supervillainy.

18:46 <Cepheid> The upper management doesn't really care about what is happening, because it was getting positive (for the company and investors) results.

18:46 <Ali> When the pyramid is built upsidedown, it'll eventually topple

18:48 <Cepheid> Even with the walkout, the protest, and so on, the company isn't gonna go under, and it will be business as usual in a couple of weeks.

18:49 <Ali> Then the CEOs will get a raise and then fire a couple more hundred people for a job well done.

18:49 <Cepheid> The people who walked out will likely find themselves without work in the following weeks, using bullshit reasons so that they can't retaliate easily.

18:54 <Ali> Well there's that thing they have to sign to work there

18:54 <Ali> That basically gives Blizz a immunity to be taken to court

18:55 <Schism> Certificates of indemnification are often countered in an actual court of law.

18:56 <Cepheid> Apparently the PS5's hard drive is a pain in the arse to replace.

18:57 <Cepheid> First off, it needs a beta update of the OS.  Secondly, it requires a hard drive of specific specifications.

18:58 <Cepheid> And then thirdly, it has an enclosure which is hard to work with.

18:59 <Cepheid> It's basically a sandwich.  Heatsink, thermal pad, hard drive, thermal pad, heatsink.

19:05 <Cepheid> One of the requirements is apparently that it needs to have a read speed of 5.5 gigabytes/sec.

20:09 * Schism phews. Takes a first break.

20:20 * Shadowed awakens once more.

20:34 * Cepheid returns from a walk. Whee.

20:41 * Shadowed hangs out with her pokemon. Whitney will not defeat us!

20:52 <Ali> And then the Miltank crushes

20:53 * Shadowed has Quilava though.

20:53 * Ali boops Shadowed with Rollout

20:53 * Shadowed has smokescreen!

20:54 <Ali> But the AI seem to have immunity to set up moves like that.

20:54 * Shadowed has Flaafy and Thunder Wave.

20:54 <Ali> Can it survive the torrent of stomps?

20:54 <Ali> And don't forget it has Milk Drink right?

20:54 <Ali> So it can just heal off damage

20:55 * Shadowed plans on just having 6 level 19 pokemon. Should be fine.

21:32 * Shadowed hopes that in Gen 9 we finally get a new evolution in the Rattata line. KingRat!

21:36 <Ali> Or Ratacan't

21:39 <Amelia> Good morning, ponies

21:41 <Shadowed> Morning.

21:41 * Shadowed chews on a stick as she rolls up on Whitney's Gym. I'm close, but I want to use her underlings to train.

21:42 <Lumindia> *looks at bag of microwave popcorn* (Do not use popcorn button) DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! D:<

21:43 <Ali> Why is that button on there when they tell you not to use it...

21:43 * Lumindia uses the popcorn button after being told not to! Rebels!

21:44 <AppleDash> because the button isn't for bagged popcorn.

21:44 <Shadowed> But microwave popcorn is the worst.

21:45 * Shadowed needs to get a new air popper.

21:45 <Amelia> How are you shadowed?

21:45 * Shadowed is good. Her hooves hurt and she must do another 11 hour work shift again.

21:51 * Cepheid is feeling good for the first time in two and a half months without relying on drugs.

22:16 * Schism does up pork, buttered toast, egg.

22:18 * Ali noms Schism tails

22:18 * Schism offers Ali an egg. It's fried, and the yolk is nice and runny.

22:18 * Ali steals the toast and uses it to sop up the runny yolk and noms.

22:18 * Schism nods, "This is how it is done."

22:21 <Schism> Also, yay, Cepheid!  Positivity is a wonder.

22:22 <Cepheid> I dunno why it suddenly changed.  I assume getting outside twice in two days is helping.  I took a walk earlier.

22:23 <Cepheid> My sister's also gone for the time being, so there's that too.

22:33 <Schism> ... https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1420807961518088194 - well.  ContentID is sure working as intended, eh?

22:34 <Amelia> YouTube weird, ik

22:36 <Cepheid> I... what.

22:39 * Schism types on her keyboard, has her Twitch stream shut down.

22:42 <Schism> Bobby Kotick's name appearing in Jeff Epstein's 'little black book' is amusing.

23:11 <Cepheid> https://xkcd.com/ You wanna know the worst thing about this?  My mother's car has something like this.  The seatbelt only goes in one way, otherwise it refuses to lock.
