04:25 <Schism> Still, a fairly familiar situation.

04:27 <Ali> I want to know why in my racing game

04:27 <Ali> That I supposedly have some of the best drivers, with an above average car

04:27 <Ali> But during the race they drive like they have the shittiest car out there, running anywhere from 2-3 seconds a lap SLOWER than everyone else.

06:33 * Finwe doffs his hat.

06:34 <Finwe> Ali: Could that be because of poor team management?

06:34 * Ali puffycheeks, unicorn is the team manager...

06:41 <Finwe> Exactly. o3o

15:51 <Cepheid> That or just deal with it.

15:51 <Schism> Or that.  Least you're likely to sleep well tonight.

17:59 <Schism> It'll be ... interesting having my father visit next week.  <Mom> You know, he's going to notice the differences. <Me> Well, he'll notice the hair, at least. <Mom> You have a bust. <Me> ...they're smol, I'll be fine.

19:17 <Schism> Harmless thing at least.

19:18 * Schism should take care of the rarity 2 armours, just because.

19:28 <Schism> I'mma murder Barioth later.  And others.  Right now, that Wroggi brace was sufficient...

19:29 <Schism> (Though really, the only thing I actually slew of late was an Arzuros, and that's because I wanted to murder that damned bear for interrupting my fishing.)

19:38 <Schism> Huzzah!  Two advil now?

19:38 <Schism> Finwe: Oh, I already have that, it's the Khezu set.  (Which is indeed rarity 2.)

19:41 <Finwe> Oh, I see.

19:41 <Finwe> How many levels of rarity are there?

19:42 <Schism> As of this point I'm only up to rarity 3.  Monster Hunter games are rather a slog as you climb through the ranks.

19:42 <Schism> Also need to capture more Magnamalos, as well as Nargacuga (;-;) and a few others.

19:43 <Schism> I want to say probably 7 or 8.

19:46 <Finwe> Hmm, FoxTail is on sale on GOG.

19:46 * Finwe noms on Schism's foxtail.

19:47 * Ali also noms on Schism foxtail

19:47 * Finwe bro/sishoofs Ali.

19:47 <Finwe> /)

19:47 <Schism> Wait, Terrain of Magical Expertise?  They actually turned that into a GAME?!

19:48 * Schism has only so many foxtails, and they're a bit frayed. @_@

19:50 <Schism> 'The Pillars of the Earth' might have been a game to pick up if I hadn't already read the book.  It was alright.  I like the author's focus on architecture, at least.

19:51 <Finwe> Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet?

19:52 <Schism> Yeah, there was an adventure game based on the novel.

19:52 <Finwe> I've read the book ages ago, when I was 12 or 13 years old.

19:53 <Finwe> There was indeed some architecture.

19:53 <Schism> I picked up the paperback when I was working at a grocery store; it was worth the read, but I wouldn't call it spectacular.  Certainly doesn't hold a candle to Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose.

19:53 <Finwe> Building a cathedral tends to incorporate some.

19:53 <Finwe> Il nome della rosa. o3o

19:54 <Finwe> Il pendolo di Foucault wasn't as good.

19:54 <Schism> Eco's dry humour shines through even in the translation.

19:55 <Finwe> And then there's La isola del giorno prima.

19:57 <Schism> Hm, I might have to pick that one up.  The externalization of one's own choices towards a seeming, omnipresent yet invisible villain, is also one which I believe evident in Tristram Shandy.

19:58 <Schism> Though it's also a recurring theme in many a work.

19:59 <Finwe> Roberto della Griva's evil twin brother did not nom on the groceries he had left in the refrigerator. o3o

20:00 <Schism> It's alright, I'm over that.  It's an uncommon enough occasion.  Right now I have a brand new hyperfixation to worry about!

20:00 <Finwe> Probably beucause there were no refrigerators in the 17th century.

20:01 <Schism> 19th century, tho... https://poets.org/poem/just-say

20:01 * Finwe offers an ice box filled with cockatrice corpses to Schism.

20:02 * Schism brings them down to an arch-lich and creates a statue garden.

20:02 <Schism> Later adventurers: "So... this isn't Medusa's level?"

20:03 <Schism> The clever folks can bring along a Wand of Digging and set up the statues in straight lines.  o3o

20:03 <Finwe> I've once met a mastodon in D:5 because of a rather nasty bones file.

20:04 <Finwe> Schism: Force bolt, not digging.

20:04 * Schism headtilts, "Why not digging? Should just clear up those statues in a nice neat line."

20:06 * Finwe wishes for a blessed +2 silver dragon scale mail.

20:06 <Schism> Good choice.  Increased chance of failure above +2, I take it.

20:06 <Finwe> Wishing for +2 has the best expected value for what you actually get.

20:06 <Schism> (Extrinsic reflection is _always_ good.)

20:07 * Schism noddles.

20:08 <Finwe> The standard kit is fireproof speed boots, rustproof gauntlets of power, rustproof helm of brilliance, silver dragon scale mail, fireproof T-shirt and fireproof cloak of magic resistance.

20:08 <Schism> With amulets and rings of varying types to be swapped out as necessary.

20:09 <Finwe> Completed with amulet of life saving, ring of slow digestion and whatever the other ring was.

20:09 <Schism> Amulet of breathing, too.

20:10 <Finwe> Ring of increase damage or ring of free action.

20:11 <Schism> I'd stick with Free Action, TBH.

20:12 <Finwe> An archaeologist dual-wielding Greyswandir and normal silver sabre, with two +9 rings of increase damage kills almost anythign ridiculously fast.

20:13 <Schism> I can imagine so.  I'm imagining some of the characters from Eternal Darkness doing that.

20:14 <Finwe> "Grayswandir is Corwin's sword, also known as the Night Blade; its twin is Brand's Werewindle, the Day Sword. Both Grayswandir and Werewindle are inscribed with portions of the Pattern of Amber; this makes them particularly effective against creatures of Chaos."

20:52 * Dappled is a horse.

20:52 * Dappled flops.

20:52 <Finwe> Mr Dappled.

20:52 * Finwe doffs his hat.

20:53 * Dappled waves.

20:54 * Dappled cooks pizza.

20:54 <Finwe> o3o

20:58 * Ali curls up into the Dappled and sighs

20:59 * Dappled hugs Ali. He got throw that fog route using the magic of Defog.

21:00 <Ali> Eeyup, cause Fog was the stupidest weather hazzard in DPP

21:00 <Ali> Makes every move like 50% accurate

21:00 <Ali> Just wait till you have to go to Snowpoint Dappled~

21:10 <Finwe> However hard you try, you can never be as cute as Ali. o3o

21:10 <Dappled> Practice helps?

21:11 <Finwe> Also, however many girl pills you take, you can't get a feminine jawbone.

21:11 <Schism> That's what feminine facial surgery is for.  Furthermore, there are many cis women who still have that jawlinen.

21:11 <Schism> jawline.*

21:13 <Schism> Reconstructive bone surgery has long been a thing, so in the fullness of time, I may be able to acquire it -- but at the same time, I am very much a girl whether or not I take it.  I just like seeing myself move onwards from 'angry boi' to 'smiling gorl'.

21:14 <Finwe> Except for future archaeologists.

21:14 <Finwe> "The structure of the skeleton tells that this was a male human."

21:15 * Dappled hugs Schism.

21:16 * Dappled 's now imagining having scrimshaw done post mortem to tell archeologists that they are dumb.

21:19 <Schism> Dappled: There's a really, really good Daring Do fanfic written about something utterly and completely terrifying, that archaeologists should avoid exploring.  It's cosmic horror.  Here's the kicker.  It's cosmic horror despite every aspect of it being something we've done.

21:20 <Dappled> Link?

21:20 <Schism> One tick.

21:21 <Schism> Here.  Don't read the comments early.  Don't read anything ahead of time.  It's maybe one of the best horror stories I've ever read.  https://www.fimfiction.net/story/42409/1/the-writing-on-the-wall/the-writing-on-the-wall

21:22 <Dappled> This just leads me down the rabbit hole of just getting scrimshaw done to prank future generations. Like imagine digging up a body only to find "Hey, you're finally awake" written in the bones and being like "Don't tell me there releasing Skyrim for the 50th time.

21:22 <Schism> Pfff.  X3

21:25 <Ali> So expecting Skyrim 30.0 to not have horsebugs, chests in hills, floating civianians, and of course, the broken alchemy

21:26 <Dappled> "Ask them to let Hello Future Games handle Skyrim next time. They're already good at dealing with horrible releases and making the game better"

21:26 <Schism> On the plus side, when the blue mountain flower decides to eat you, it'll probably clip through the mountain along the way.

21:27 <Ali> I bet they managed to make MORE bugs

21:27 <Schism> They're Bethesda, they released an expansion pack which got half the folks in Whiterun murdered because who the hell is not going to be level 10 before then?

21:28 <Ali> Or the best one of all Schism

21:28 <Ali> HORSE ARMOR!!

21:28 <Finwe> o3o

21:28 <Schism> That was Oblivion, tho~

21:29 <Dappled> "Is Half-Life 3 out yet?"

21:29 <Ali> Still bugthesda

21:29 <Schism> It just works.

21:29 <Ali> I thought for awhile that joke was going to work on Starcraft 2

21:29 <Ali> And sometimes, I wish SC2 never came out

21:29 <Schism> It did result in Starcrafts.

21:31 <Ali> Heck to play terrain is just Marine, Marauder, Medivac

21:34 <Dappled> Oooh, Spider-Man 2~

21:36 * Dappled pouts at 2023 release date, but on the other hoof it is Insomniac Games and I enjoyed the crap out of what they already did for Spider-Man.

21:42 * Dappled flails harder. Today is a good day for announcements apparently.

21:47 * Dappled climbs aboard the hype train and makes camp.

21:48 <Schism> Matrix 4 trailer popped today.

21:58 * Dappled just found Sailor Eldritch's house in pokemon Platinum... Just... What?

22:22 <Ali> YOu know, Joe Biden can go fuck himself, that is all..

22:23 <Schism> Do you think that Biden was looking to cancel unemployment insurance?  

22:24 <Schism> Manchin and the other quislings can go die in a fire.  Biden can also step down, but only if he can find someone who actually cares about the constituency to replace him.

22:32 <Ali> The Dems don't give a shit, they've torn this country down and don't care how much worse it'll get.

22:46 <Schism> Ali...

22:46 <Schism> The people on the other side literally want me to be murdered.

22:46 <Ali> I don't stand for either party

22:46 <Schism> Okay.

22:47 <Ali> R is just as bad as D

22:47 <Schism> Alright.

22:47 <Schism> The Ds don't want me murdered.

22:47 <Schism> Can I be forgiven for choosing that side?

22:47 <Ali> No, they want all unvacc'd to be murdered

22:47 * Ali will stop politics now

22:47 <Schism> kay.

22:48 <Ali> I'm only saying I'm not happy with this old codger

22:48 <Ali> Other than that, moving on

22:51 <Schism> Ali, though...

22:52 <Schism> The Republicans literally want me to die.

22:52 <Schism> I can't move on from that.

22:52 <Schism> They have stated time and time again that trans folks should be murdered, and put that into action.

22:53 <Schism> Am I supposed to 'move on' from that?  Am I supposed to forgive them?

22:56 <Schism> Am I supposed to ignore the people who are pointing a fucking gun at my head?

23:00 <Schism> Oh, and the Pope has been so kind as to suggest this, so I'm very much looking forward to that the next time I walk by a Catholic church.

23:01 <Schism> So yeah.  I'm going to sleep.

23:02 <Schism> But don't you dare /fucking/ suggest that the consequences of an action made of your own choice, due to inconsistent data, is at all comparable to who I am and who I need to be to live.

23:04 <Schism> And lastly: you can move on.  I can't.
