00:00 <Lunanightwind> I really should finally start assassins creed valhalla tomorrow

00:01 <Lunanightwind> I have 800 games between all my PC launchers, more than 700 have less than 5 hours played

00:06 * Dappled suggests you get the Open World Game.

00:06 <Lunanightwind> whats the open world game?

00:07 <Dappled> You know.

00:07 <Dappled> Open World Game: The Open World Game.

00:07 <Lunanightwind> 800+ games owned with approximately 200 installed

00:08 <Dappled> https://store.steampowered.com/app/1310290/Open_World_Game_the_Open_World_Game__The_Gratuitous_DLC/

00:08 <Lunanightwind> that looks silly

00:08 <Dappled> It is.

00:09 * Dappled enjoys it and recommends it a lot.

00:09 * Dappled even 100% it.

00:09 <Lunanightwind> maybe ill look at it when i burn though some of my backlog

00:09 <Lunanightwind> as it is i am making myself not be allowed to purchase Diablo 2 remaster

00:09 <Dappled> The backlog never ends, only grows.

00:13 <Lunanightwind> the backlog never ends, especially when you get free games from epic and have gamepass LOL

00:13 <ADragonDreaming> Does epic have a shopping cart yet?

00:13 <Lunanightwind> nope

00:14 <Lunanightwind> i apparently own 642 games on steam alone

02:46 <Schism> whurf.  Only up to 5*, really.

02:46 * Schism also boops the Dappled with some mustard for their chicken cordon bleu.

02:47 <Dappled> You put condiments on it?

02:47 <Schism> On occasion.

02:47 * Schism also flumps on her break. "Urgh..." She should have that last energy drink, bringing her up to 3 for the day.

02:48 * Dappled puts on a skirt.

02:48 *** Dappled is now known as Shadowed

02:48 * Shadowed spinny skirt.

02:48 * Schism wants skirt for the spinny.

02:49 <Schism> Electrolysis at 9:30 AM tomorrow, then I'll update health card and [not]driver's license, then I'll sleep...

02:52 <Schism> Though I'll be sleeping anyway in an hour, after work's done and I take my girlpills.

02:53 <Schism> It has been a long night.  There are maybe 3 tier 1 agents on the phones and 2 tier 2 agents.  And with an hour long hold time, everybody wants to speak with a manager.

02:54 <Schism> ... um.  ... kay.  https://twitter.com/TransSalamander/status/1440509310841208841

02:55 <Schism> ADragonDreaming, I might hunt a little more before I sleep tonight, but probably just something like a Nargacuga.

04:08 <ADragonDreaming> 5* ... that's high rank, I think? P sure that's where Ceph and I got to.

04:17 <Schism> Noooope.  5* village.

04:18 <Schism> I've, uh.  Not really been playing that as much... not much of anything, really.  Heavens, haven't really done much FFXIV, either.

04:22 <ADragonDreaming> Ah, gotcha

04:24 <Schism> Hmm, Volvidon armour is incomplete...

04:24 * Schism considers hunting one just for armour she's never going to wear.

04:28 <Schism> Or a bunch of Bishaten.

04:30 <ADragonDreaming> I made good use of Bishaten for a bit

04:32 <Schism> It's a pretty decent armour as elemental defenses go.

04:33 <Schism> Hum.  Bunch of fire resist++, some blight resist, some evade extender.  This'll work.

04:35 <ADragonDreaming> my workhorse to get into high rank was rathian, in the end.

04:44 <Schism> Hmm, quite a lot of shells from this one.

04:44 <Schism> 6 Volvidon shells.  I think that'll be the rest of the armour set.

04:45 <Schism> 'course, now I get the paralysis resist amulet, but eh.

04:46 <Schism> Basarios is okay for tanks, but the resistance is for crap...

04:48 <Schism> Bishaten next.  So... snow slicers.

04:59 <Schism> stupid mob.  making me waste a trap.

05:15 <Schism> Bishaten Claw?  Ahaha... nope.

05:16 <Schism> 18% capture rate.  That figures.

05:19 <Schism> Let's try this again... and break both its wings.

05:35 <Schism> At least at this rate, I'll know how to beat Bishaten back and forth...

05:46 <Schism> C'mooon.  One more claw needed?

05:49 <Ali> Nope, not gonna drop now

05:52 <Schism> One more hunt for the evening.

06:01 <Schism> Ali: Oh, I didn't get a claw this time.

06:01 <Schism> I got eight.

12:21 <Schism> ow... poor Robin.  https://twitter.com/assumptionprime/status/1440513795290329092  Had this happen many a time.

12:22 <LunaNightwind> Hi Schism how ya doing cutie

12:23 <Schism> Tired~!  Not sure why I asked for an electro appointment at 9:30, but I'll pay for it, that's for sure.

12:23 <LunaNightwind> oh god i cant afford electro so i just epolate....thats a miserable thing that i am actually doing today

12:23 <Schism> Ew, epilation... that aside, how are you doing?

12:24 <LunaNightwind> Im doing pretty well ive been up since 2 am but im surviving

12:24 * Schism nods...!

12:24 <LunaNightwind> Med appointment at 11, epolating after that, then probably just relaxing

12:24 <LunaNightwind> might go to the store to get a monster

12:25 <LunaNightwind> because the two facts of life are every trans girl is a cat girl and every trans girl drinks monster LOL ;-P

12:26 <Schism> Ahem, fox girl.  :p

12:26 <Schism> That latter, though, it seems accurate.

12:27 <LunaNightwind> Fox girls and Cat girls are close enough that it counts

12:27 <Schism> I _suppose_.

12:27 <LunaNightwind> Fine every trans girl is an animal girl

12:27 <LunaNightwind> better?

12:27 <Schism> Or a demon girl!  (I joke, of course I'm going to be silly and pedantic when I wake up.)

12:28 <LunaNightwind> naw Demon girl would be one of my alternate personalities LOL \

12:28 <Schism> Me, last night: "Okay, get everything ready so I can just brush my teeth, brush my hair, and get out."  Me, this morning, "Where the (#$* is my bra?!"

12:35 <LunaNightwind> lol

12:36 * Schism hugs it close against herself, as if a shield.

12:36 <LunaNightwind> i came to the realization at some point that if you are a trans girl with a hoodie its either because you have a partner you stole it from or its a dysphoria hoodie

12:36 <Schism> I got it for free from work...

12:39 <LunaNightwind> yes I am Miqo'te

12:40 * Schism should get herself a choker sometime. Because there are things one does.

12:40 <LunaNightwind> although i havent played in a few months \

12:40 <LunaNightwind> LOL i have a few

12:41 <LunaNightwind> choker/collar

12:41 <Schism> Can't say I've played much either for the last while.  Perhaps I'll change that today - hunting all those Bishaten was frustrating last night.

15:37 <Schism> Everyone says that electrolysis hurts to ridiculous extents, but I kinda dozed off.

15:38 <Cepheid> Heh.

15:39 * Schism also doffs her energy drink. This one actually has sugar in it! And oat milk.

15:39 <Lunanightwind> Ive heard it either hurts like hecc or that it is a cake walk

15:40 <Lunanightwind> depends on person and skin sensitivity

15:40 <Schism> Mmm, I imagine so.  My neck's more sensitive, but even then, pain isn't that profound.

15:40 <Schism> "Well, Jennifer, none of the hair from last time has grown back..." "Yay!"

15:40 <Lunanightwind> yay

15:41 <Lunanightwind> how much is it costing you per session

15:41 <Schism> $90 CAD for an hour's session.

15:41 <Schism> Nothing unaffordable, even if it'll add up in the long term.  Mental health is kinda sorta important.

15:42 <Schism> (I'm also fortunate enough to only need $30 for a three-month supply of CTA and lupin estradiol.)

15:44 * Schism hopes that she'll be able to get that sketch from Ayvie soon. Knows she's busy busy busy.

15:45 <Lunanightwind> oh i get a 3 month supply of my HRT for $2.60 USD

15:46 <Lunanightwind> sorry 3.90

15:46 <Lunanightwind> 1.30 for E, 1.30 for spiro, and 1.30 for progesterone

15:46 <Schism> Good plan.  o3o  

15:47 * Schism keeps swinging back as to whether she wants to start taking progesterone. Right now, it's not too important: her breasts _still_ hurt like mad, her E levels are somewhere between 350 and 420, and her T is <.5.

15:48 <Lunanightwind> my numbers are a little crazy right now because i came off HRT for about 6 weeks and just restarted at the beginning of september

15:48 <Schism> Oww.  Yeah, that'll do it; whyfor the gap?

15:48 <Lunanightwind> Husband and I were trying for a child

15:48 <Schism> Oh!  That makes sense.

15:49 * Schism knocks on wood, hopes that it'll work out...!

15:49 <Lunanightwind> but lasst time i got checked back in may i had 296 E and a 0.16 T

15:50 * Schism noddles. "This is me with even just 4mg estradiol and 12.5mg CTA daily, so... I think it safe to say that my body really wanted to metabolise this stuff.

15:51 <Lunanightwind> yeahhh my body hates metabolising medications

15:51 <Cepheid> My feeeeet.

15:51 * Schism hugs Cepheid, offers an ice pack for her feet.

15:51 <Lunanightwind> Poor Cephid

15:51 <Lunanightwind> *Cepheid

15:52 <Cepheid> People are not meant to walk and stand for 8 hours a day.

15:52 <Schism> Worked retail for yeeears, this is known.

15:53 <Lunanightwind> yeah its been a long time ssince i worked but i remember the hell that was retail

15:53 <Cepheid> Also feeling kinda dizzy and nauseous.  Last two carts were way overweight and required more strength than I had.

15:54 * Schism still giggles at the latest AzulCrescent page. But eeegh. "Got water and such?"

15:54 <Cepheid> Yeah.

15:54 <Lunanightwind> ya knoow its funny games were running kinda crappy on my computer for a few months, i got a new CPU cooler and it runs like a GD dream now

15:54 <Schism> That'll do it!

15:55 <Lunanightwind> apparently my CPU was choking itself trying to run games LOL

15:58 * Schism glares at her pill. "Alright, you. Want to split evenly THIS time?"

15:58 <Lunanightwind> you dont have a pill cutter?

15:58 <Schism> Nah, this works just fine for the most part.  Worst comes to worst I can score the pill with a paring knife.

15:58 <Schism> Also glad it's not spiro, which either tastes like mint or death.

15:59 <Schism> (I may, about 15 years prior, have briefly tried DIY to see how it felt, because this is of course a normal thing cis men do.)

16:00 <Schism> Stupid bulletproof eggshell...

16:00 <Lunanightwind> Yes Mint or death, depending on the day and what kind of mood it is in and whether you sweet talked it before you put it in your mouth

16:02 <Lunanightwind> oh see i never even tried to do it without my doctor putting me on it, my egg was like armor plated and triple re enforced to never break until i literally took aq hammer to it

16:02 <Lunanightwind> i didnt even let myself acknowledge it, i did everything possible to be as much of a manly man as i could be

16:03 <Lunanightwind> heccc i used to have this massive denial beard that like reached half way down my chest because "taking a razor to it would be a sign of weakness"

16:03 <Schism> I never tried to grow a Beard of Dishonesty, but was kiiiinda trying desperately not to acknowledge the possibility, going so far as to think, "Hey, these things are normal cis guy stuff.  Every guy plays a girl character whenever they can, right?"

16:04 <Lunanightwind> the every guy wonders what it would be like to be a girl at least once fallacy

16:04 <Schism> <Pokemon> Are you a boy, or a girl?  <Me> *selects girl, momentary surge of euphoria quickly quashed by fear*

16:04 <Schism> Lunanightwind, Yes... once.  A day.  At least.

16:04 <Schism> Perfectly ordinary stuff.

16:05 <Lunanightwind> then you come out and its like NO TIFFANY no cis guy wonders what it is like to be a girl

16:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Penny Wrights: Top 5 Sunset Shimmer Moments [ https://tinyurl.com/yhhakfx3 ]

16:06 <Schism> Panel 2 here.  X3  https://reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=july-13-2020

16:06 <Lunanightwind> Look all i know is when i was 13 i read the manga Ranma half and i only showered in cold water for 4 months hoping i would grow boobs

16:06 <Lunanightwind> LOL

16:06 <Lunanightwind> every guy who read that manga did that IM SURE

16:07 <Schism> "Okay, how much does it cost for a trip to Jusenkyo..."

16:08 <Lunanightwind> those cursed hot springs just have to be real

16:08 <Schism> Or, for that matter, watched Kashimashi and immediately identified with Hazumu.  

16:10 <Lunanightwind> never seen Kashimashi

16:11 <Schism> Ah, it's quite good.  And it's pretty clear that the main character was transfemme from the start, even before a spaceship landed on her in an attempt to give her a kiss.

16:12 <Lunanightwind> blah i look like a weird mishmash of boy and girl right now, im wearing minnie mouse leggins, a black skirt, a mens wrestling t shirt and no choker

16:12 <Lunanightwind> and the colour is fading from my hair

16:12 <Schism> All the flashbacks show her with a blank expression and obscured eyes (except when she's dressed as a girl, which prompts a rare smile), until she wakes up in her new body, and then she's active and actually has facial expressions!

16:12 <Lunanightwind> ill have to look it up

16:12 <Schism> Eeep.  The latter is frustrating.  But nothing wrong with that mix.  X3

16:13 <Lunanightwind> brb i wanna put on my choker

16:14 <Lunanightwind> back

16:14 <Lunanightwind> i am naked if i dont have something around my neck LOL

16:15 <Lunanightwind> Schism if you want to see im willing to send you a photo collage of what i looked like before coming out and before starting hormones and 2 weeks ago

16:15 <Lunanightwind> i dont mind sharing it with other trans girls

16:16 <Schism> I've heard that from many a person!  And if you want.  I need to find a pic of myself from pre-transition, but for various reasons, it's kind of hard when I never took a selfie because I hated how I looked.

16:17 <Lunanightwind> sending it on Discord

16:17 <Schism> Kaykay.

16:17 * Schism also frowns. Wants to be smoler.

16:18 <Schism> At least feet have shrunk...

16:18 <Lunanightwind> yeah i would happily give someone 6 inches so i could be 5'5

16:18 <Schism> Just, like, trade with your husband...

16:18 <Lunanightwind> gotta find a trans boy who wants to be tall so i can give him my height

16:18 <Lunanightwind> My husband is happy being 5'8

16:19 <Schism> Oh, I see.  Hm, maybe my cousin would be willing, if only it were possible.

16:19 <Lunanightwind> Trust me if it was that easy to just trade i would give my husband my height and i would take his chest since he hasnt had top surgery yet LOL

16:19 <Schism> Either way, that's an excellent shift from past to present!

16:20 * Schism phews. "Finally, this stuff has dissolved."

16:20 <Lunanightwind> Like i said i had a MASSIVE denial beard, then i was so depressed in the long span between coming out and starting hormones i gained like 150 lbs

16:20 <Lunanightwind> thats why i look so round in the second picture

16:21 <Schism> Oooff.  That depression absolutely helps not a whit.

16:21 <Lunanightwind> first picture i was approximately 240, 2nd picture i was 367ish, and 3rd picture i am 209 lbs

16:21 * Schism nodnods, "And probably coming down yet further!"

16:22 <Lunanightwind> oh yeah im still working on losing, my GOAL is 185

16:22 <Lunanightwind> 185 is healthy for someone who is 5'11 i think

16:23 <Lunanightwind> i just know deep down that this last 30 or so pounds is gonna be the hardest

16:23 * Schism noddles.

16:24 <Schism> Of course, there's also rotating back and forth between a bit of gain and a bit of loss to ensure that distribution is in the right places.

16:26 <Lunanightwind> all i know is i am glad my doctor told me that coming off my hormones then restarting them could lead to my chest growing again because my chest is tiny

16:26 <Lunanightwind> cuz im aiming for that right now

16:26 * Schism pokes her own chest. "Never grows quickly enough..."

16:27 <Lunanightwind> oh mine just barely grew im still like an A cup...maybe a B on a good day

16:28 <Schism> 6 months in and I... think I'm an A-cup at this point?w

16:28 <Schism> Maybe.

16:28 <Lunanightwind> thats not bad for 6 months, I am 5 years in LOL

16:29 <Schism> Band size is 42, bust size is like 44.

16:30 <Lunanightwind> im wearing a 38B at this point

16:31 <Schism> Bleh.  Wish my ribcage weren't so deep.

16:31 * Schism jealous. :p

16:33 <Lunanightwind> OK time to go epolate be back soon after torturing myself

16:36 * Schism offers some topical numbing creme.

16:36 * Starlight_Glimmer provides Schism with A cup of tea.

16:36 * Schism sips, and offers Starlight_Glimmer a cup of Earl Blue.

16:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> Well it was a bit of a pun honestly, but I'm more of an infusion kind of person, berries mostly.

16:38 *** Joins: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net)

16:38 *** ChanServ sets mode: +qo Ali Ali

16:38 <Schism> Earl Blue is a mixture of Earl Grey and a blueberry herbal infusion...

16:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also mate, but I'm not sure that's a thing in the US/CA.

16:39 * Ali notes that now Starlight_Glimmer is an aussie

16:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> Look! My pillow arrived and I didn't even order express shipping!

16:39 <Lunanightwind> Oh trust me Schism I bought all the numbing cream that CVS had

16:39 <Schism> Now, do you mean Club Mate, or a different one?

16:40 * Starlight_Glimmer stuffs Ali into a pillow case

16:40 * Ali is not going to be Starlight_Glimmer's daka

16:40 <Schism> This comic... https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/transincidental/epilating/viewer?title_no=605328&episode_no=27 - warning, language.

16:40 <Starlight_Glimmer> We have different varieties, Club Mate being quite popular.

16:41 <Lunanightwind> yes schism that is exactly what it is

16:41 * Starlight_Glimmer wasn't going to ask Ali for permission

16:41 <Lunanightwind> im sitting at my computer doing this right now

16:41 <Schism> "What if we made a device that was dozens of tweezers on an electric spinning reel that pulled hairs out?"  "What, as a torture device?"

16:42 <Lunanightwind> the BEST beauty device

16:42 <Lunanightwind> it only hurts ALOT

16:43 <Schism> No stranger to debilitating pain am I, but I suspect that if I try wax or epilation I'm going to need a leather strap to bite down on.

16:43 <Starlight_Glimmer> Razors are like a thing

16:44 <Lunanightwind> Like thing is I dont even mind pain, I find waxing a relaxing way to spend 15 minutes if its my eyebrows or an hour if its my legs

16:44 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean if you actually do it daily or at least very regularly sensitive areas shouldn't be a problem either.

16:45 <Lunanightwind> Starlight, the thing is that it is done to keep the hair gone

16:45 * Ali remembers massive pain for hours. *stares at when unicorn had their shoulder out of joint*

16:45 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yeah I'm aware.

16:45 <Lunanightwind> do it enought and it wont grow back

16:45 * Schism holds up her right hand, which once had a broomstick slice through three tendons. That was a fun couple months.

16:46 <Starlight_Glimmer> Unless you laser it I don't think that's quite how that works.

16:46 <Schism> Lunanightwind, also: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/transincidental/boobs-day-1/viewer?title_no=605328&episode_no=29 - thiiiiis was fun...

16:48 <Starlight_Glimmer> A few of my female friends used shaving ... uhh ... Is it cream? I mean the chemical stuff and I can't imagine using stuff this aggressive on private parts especially if I was female.

16:48 <Lunanightwind> Nair, i have used that on my legs before

16:48 <Schism> Depilatory cream.

16:49 <Schism> Which, yeah... legs and arms mostly for that.  MAYBE chest.

16:49 <Starlight_Glimmer> I mean that stuff is nasty. My former GF kept it in my bathroom and it smelled horrendous.

16:50 <Lunanightwind> Electrolysis can completely destroy it, Laser will get rid of it long term and lighten it when it comes back, Epilating will get rid of it for a much shorter term but will also lighten it when it comes back  

16:50 <Schism> Might try an epilator on my arms.  Electrolysis right now, absolutely focused on the neck, because neck hair == all kinds of ugh, it's thick and coarse and bleh.

16:50 <Lunanightwind> not to the same level as laser but it will make it come back less thick

16:52 <Schism> Starlight_Glimmer, one concern with razors is the inevitable razor burn which results on certain areas of the face and neck, which looks and feels gross.

16:52 <Starlight_Glimmer> Well it might only feel lightened. The problem with a razor is that it leaves sharp thick ends. You don't have this problem if you go for the roots

16:52 <Schism> That too.

16:53 <Lunanightwind> Electro will kill the hair follicles, laser will kill them with the CHANCE of hair returning after 3-5 years, and Epilating can keep you smooth for up to 4 weeks  

16:54 <Lunanightwind> and its a health risk to use depilatory cream on your face

16:57 <Lunanightwind> also Schism about the comic you posted, feeling that pain may have been the greatest joy i ever felt in my life

16:57 <Ali> Known in the state of California to cause cancer~

16:57 <Lunanightwind> lol ali

16:58 <Schism> Lunanightwind, hee.  I know that feel...

16:59 <Lunanightwind> you done any voice training yet?

16:59 <Schism> And then the realization that body odour has vanished...

16:59 <Lunanightwind> OH MAN body odour disappearing was like magic to me <3

16:59 <Schism> Not yet, no... need to!

16:59 <Schism> Hee.  https://reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=december-9-2020

17:00 <Lunanightwind> If you want i can show you a before and after on my voice

17:00 <Lunanightwind> great thing about being a live streamer is my voice i have a full record of

17:00 <Schism> I'll hold off for the moment, but thank you!

17:01 <Lunanightwind> First time i walked into something and felt that pain I almost started crying in a mix of ouchie and happy

17:01 <Schism> That!  That exactly.

17:02 <Schism> It kept happening for weeks, though.  I'd lean forward, my chest would hit the edge of the desk, and I'd go 'aaaaaaaa'.

17:03 <Starlight_Glimmer> Honestly large boobs sound more annoying than anything else.

17:03 <Schism> Lunanightwind, also: http://rain.thecomicseries.com/comics/1369/

17:03 * Starlight_Glimmer doesn't consider them particularly attractive either, but clearly is odd in that regard.

17:04 * Ali sits on Starlight_Glimmer

17:04 * Schism shrugs, "I don't want -huge- breasts, by any stretch, and genetically speaking, they're not likely to be. But something at least noticable..."

17:05 <Starlight_Glimmer> Friends have told me about their views of their own body in that regard before and I can't help but think be glad. Like all the back pain and stuff.

17:05 <Lunanightwind> my two big things i would smack them off of is a load bearing pole in the middle of the living room and the bathroom door, my microphone is a close third

17:05 <Schism> Door frames...

17:05 <Lunanightwind> I want Cs i will be 100% happy at a C cup

17:06 <Lunanightwind> for some reason i always just used to move too quick coming out of the bathroom and would open the door on myself EVERY TIME

17:07 <Schism> Muscle memory...

17:07 <Lunanightwind> it was like a full 6 months i did it

17:07 <Lunanightwind> and of course with Spiro i was going to the bathroom more so that didnt help at all

17:07 <Ali> Bonk bonk bonk bonk

17:07 * Schism nods... "One good thing about CTA, no salt cravings, no bathroom-every-15-minutes."

17:08 <Lunanightwind> Blah finally finished torturing myself

17:08 <Schism> And now, smooth!

17:08 <Lunanightwind> now just to wait for the swelling to go down

17:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> Ali: You got to explain that Aussie thing to me

17:09 <Ali> You said mate

17:09 <Schism> Yes, like yerba mate.

17:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> Is that an Aussie thing?

17:09 <Starlight_Glimmer> Huh I wasn't aware

17:09 * Ali thinks, though all the local aussies that came here haven't been here

17:09 <Schism> RSF's been around.

17:09 <Ali> Havent' seen Razor is a long time.

17:10 <Ali> Must be on polar time frames

17:10 <Schism> !seen RazorSharpFang

17:10 <DerpyBot> Schism: The last time I saw RazorSharpFang was 2021-09-15 16:02:14 UTC

17:10 <Lunanightwind> yeah unfortunately my HRT provider was oldschool Schism, He believed the only way was Spiro and Sublingual, he retired in june though so I will have a new HRT provider in november so maybe i can get switched to something that doesnt taste like mint death and maybe shots

17:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> And do you mean the actual plant or the word?

17:10 <Schism> I've heard good things about finasteride, as cyproterone acetate isn't available in the US.

17:10 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Angeline and Schism; Mrs Lunanightwind; Mr Starlight_Glimmer.

17:10 * Finwe doffs his hat.

17:10 <Lunanightwind> Hi Finwe

17:10 * Ali rolls around as unicorn is still waiting on staff, only had one person for a few months over two years.

17:10 <Starlight_Glimmer> As far as the word goes I guess I can see that

17:11 <Schism> Meanwhile, I can't say that I'm too bad off on sublingual e.

17:11 <Finwe> Ali the CEO

17:11 <Schism> rAdm. Finwe.

17:11 <Ali> Not that kind of staff Finwe

17:11 * Schism doffs her earl blue.

17:12 <Lunanightwind> Eh my biggest problem with sublingual is waiting for things to dissolve one shot a week would be better than 2 E tabs dissolving 2 times a day every day

17:13 * Ali hates needles, will fite on that

17:13 <Lunanightwind> i mean what im on right now is working i mean my T is at a .16 and my E is respectable in the high 200s its just a pain in the butt when i wake up late or forget to take my meds

17:13 <Starlight_Glimmer> If you need like dusting let me know :3

17:13 <Finwe> !twilight time

17:13 <DerpyBot> It's not Twilight time right now, silly!

17:13 <Ali> I'm just on a waiver that is supposed to give me help

17:13 <Lunanightwind> I hate needles too ali but getting poked in the flank once a week doesnt sound like the end of the world

17:13 <Finwe> !starlight time

17:14 <Finwe> Starlight time! Starlight time!

17:14 <Ali> But over the last 3-4 years, they can't keep anyone and I keep getting shafted.

17:14 * Finwe bounces around in front of Starlight_Glimmer.

17:14 <Finwe> *bouncebounce*

17:14 * Starlight_Glimmer replaces Ali's Twilight with a Nurse Redheart plush

17:14 * Ali hisses, give back her Twilight!

17:16 <Starlight_Glimmer> Needles don't bother me much. I just didn't like the feel of blood being taken from my arm.

17:16 *** Quits: nintendo4ds (horse@Pony-mlg.q9e.206.69.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

17:20 * Ali steals her Twilight plush back and snugs it into her vee plushie.

17:20 * Lunanightwind flops on the floor and curls up with a mug of coffee

17:21 * Schism adds pumpkin spice.

17:22 * Starlight_Glimmer steals Ali, so now she has a pillow and a Twilight plush.

17:23 <Schism> Ali: Okay, here, I promise this is a real Eevee, not a Mimikyu.  https://preview.redd.it/jks7bjesfbb21.jpg?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=3f8d3dc17e1ae5dd6171f89cc49afe11b33a25f5

17:23 * Ali smacks Schism

17:23 <Starlight_Glimmer> I already had dinner, but there's a sudden craving for pancakes.

17:24 <Schism> What?  Perfectly indistinguishable from any other 'vee.

17:24 <Schism> There's a Flareon and Jolteon, too!  https://www.kiubear.com/retail-pikachu-ditto-cosplay-pikachu-eevee-charmander-squirtle-bulbasaur-clefairy-flareon-joleton-plush-toys-doll-1.html

17:24 <Lunanightwind> Schism it was already pumpkin spice....now its 2 pumpkin 2 spice

17:25 <Ali> Schism, you even just admitted it was a ditto

17:25 * Schism didn't... she flees.

17:25 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: New My Little Pony: A New Generation Clip Released! - Royal Prison [ https://tinyurl.com/yf6ztwkq ]

17:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> Oh dear. There's a ditto plush series.

17:27 <Starlight_Glimmer> Why? Just why?

17:27 <Schism> Starlight_Glimmer, for the same reason there are these.  https://www.amazon.com/chioture-Mimikyu-Cosplay-Monsters-Stuffed/dp/B08CZBFL58

17:28 <Lunanightwind> no lies i would buy a ditto clefairy

17:31 * Ali likes her vee to have a true vee face

17:31 * Finwe decides to curl up in bed and read Reaper Man.

17:31 *** Quits: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long) (Quit: sparks only last so long)

17:32 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail first, though.

17:36 * Finwe boops Schism with flea market: https://twitter.com/foxes_in_love/status/1437655591120523264/photo/1

17:37 <Finwe> Note that the teal fox cannot say "jewellery".

17:49 <Lunanightwind> wow i feel called out by that last panel...that would totally be my table

17:50 <Lunanightwind> also Finwe im pretty sure Jewelry is correct

17:51 <Finwe> No, it's not.

17:51 <ADragonDreaming> Both are accepted spellings.

17:51 <Finwe> At least in this side of the Atlantic.

17:51 <Finwe> *om

17:51 <Finwe> *on

17:52 <ADragonDreaming> Jewellery likely got shortened to "jewelry" for the same reason colour became color and lightening became lightning: saving on letters used in the age of the printing press.

17:52 <Finwe> The Americans obviously found it a good idea to shorten words so that printing newspapers would be cheaper.

17:53 <Lunanightwind> lol

17:53 <Ali> It was for more ad space obviously

17:53 <Finwe> o3o

17:53 <ADragonDreaming> Actually I think it was the opposite.

17:54 <ADragonDreaming> Papers would charge based on how many characters, lines, space, etc.

17:54 <ADragonDreaming> So people buying ads would shorten words so as to pay less. In other words, it was for *less* ad space :D

17:57 <Finwe> There used to be a "for sale" section in our local newspaper in my childhood. The number of characters had a fixed limit, so people invented all kinds of abbreviations.

17:58 <Finwe> All of which weren't compliant with the standards of the language.

18:00 <Starlight_Glimmer> Soo ... Twitter?

18:00 <Starlight_Glimmer> I guess the density of conspiracy theories is higher on Twitter though.

18:01 <Starlight_Glimmer> Also I fully support the shortening of ou to o just to mess with the French.

18:03 <Finwe> Ou ou où?

18:04 * Schism finishes taking a half hour nap. She yawn, stretch, squeak.

18:04 * Starlight_Glimmer must themselves have fallen somewhere in the Atlantic though, because they write color, but also behaviour.

18:04 * Finwe manget la queu des Starlight_Glimmer.

18:06 * Starlight_Glimmer pats Finwe.

18:06 <Finwe> o3o

18:06 * Schism clings to her shork, because.

18:06 * Finwe noms on Schism's Blåhaj.

18:07 <Schism> https://i.redd.it/noaeglll67x51.jpg - the colours match, remember.

18:08 <Finwe> Were it a Greenland shark, you could bury it in the sand on a beach and leave it to rot there for several months and then you could eat it. o3o

18:09 <Finwe> Now you know the secret of hákar.

18:09 <Finwe> *hákarl

18:10 <Finwe> Also, you're supposed to enjoy it with brennivín.

18:10 * Finwe just ferments Schism's shork without burying it.

18:11 <Schism> Ah, caraway liqueur.

18:11 <Schism> Well, liquor.

18:11 <Finwe> Aquavit.

18:13 <Finwe> Schism: It has been called "Black Death" because it comes in a bottle with a black label showing a map of Iceland on it.

18:13 <Finwe> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Brennivin2.jpg

18:14 <Finwe> 'Tis made of potatoes, and indeed spiced with caraway after distillation.

18:15 <Schism> Finwe: Did you know you have a duck on your head?

18:15 * Schism also mutters something about millennium hand and shrimp.

18:16 <Finwe> A duck?

18:16 <Finwe> It's duck season, of course.

18:16 <Finwe> Wabbit season is in the spring.

18:17 <Schism> Why, that's easy, m'boy.  It's baseball season!

18:17 <Finwe> Don't you "m'boy" me.

18:22 <Schism> Heehee... https://twitter.com/assumptionprime/status/1440717827254611970

18:24 <Ali> No, its handegg season

18:24 <Lunanightwind> sports are bad and played by over paid over confident jerks

18:25 <Lunanightwind> *televised sports

18:27 <Schism> ... But... but curling...

18:27 <Finwe> Handegg and baseball are rather meh.

18:28 <Lunanightwind> *american televised sports Schism, i have no clue what a curling team actually makes

18:28 <Schism> Fair enough.

18:28 <Schism> Football (the game itself) is good, but FIFA is scandals and corruption all the way down.

18:29 <Finwe> Any large organisation falls to that at some point, I think.

18:29 <Schism> If such things aren't already baked into the organization from the start, of course.

18:30 <Finwe> The International Olympic Committee is another good example.

18:30 <Schism> That's the other one used as a common go-to.

18:30 <Finwe> Then we have FIA and whatnot.

18:32 <Schism> Lunanightwind, https://twitter.com/johniadarola/status/1440474794097475588

18:32 * Schism dies laughing.

18:34 <Finwe> And far away from what you thought you would be at this point when you were 18?

18:34 <Lunanightwind> lol

18:34 <Schism> 18-year-old saw me now, she'd be equally aghast, afraid, and interested.

18:35 <Lunanightwind> Look at 18 I thought i was stuck as a boy for the rest of my life, i also thought that i would be working in video production, neither of these things were true

18:36 <Schism> The latter can still come about, at least.

18:36 <Lunanightwind> no it really cant, i wont get into reasoning but it really cant

18:36 * Schism mms, "Alright..."

18:37 <Lunanightwind> but thats still ok, I am happy with life

18:37 <Lunanightwind> Honestly I would take the life i have over the life i envisioned any day of the week

18:37 <Schism> Oh, heavens yes.

18:38 *** Joins: somininin (mift@Pony-415rgh.dyn.telefonica.de)

18:38 <Starlight_Glimmer> It's getting cold :(

18:39 <Schism> 55F and rainy here, so it's chilly.  So tempted to go down to Tim Hortons and get an XL pumpkin spice and a few donuts.

18:39 <Finwe> I want to be… a lumberjack! Leaping from tree tor tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia: the giant redwood, the larch, the fir, the mighty Scots pine, the lofty flowering cherry, the plucky little aspen, the limping Roo tree of Nigeria, the towering wattle of Aldershot, the Maidenhead weeping water plant, the naughty Leicestershire flashing oak, the flatulent elm of West

18:39 <Lunanightwind> I mean hecc I transitioned, I have 2 wonderful partners who I care about with all my heart, the only major thing i would change is find a place to live that has central air and decent heating

18:39 <Finwe> Ruislip, the Quercus maximus Bamber Gascoigni, the epigillus, the barter Hughius Greenus, …

18:39 <Finwe> 5°C here.

18:40 <Finwe> The autumn has really kicked in.

18:40 <Lunanightwind> it is 22.2 C here

18:40 <Finwe> Obscenely warm. o3o

18:41 <Schism> 14°C, with 89% humidity.

18:41 <Finwe> 89%? Luxury.

18:41 <Finwe> 90% here.

18:42 <Lunanightwind> 97% humidity here

18:42 <Finwe> Uhh, at 22°C that's quite a lot.

18:42 <Lunanightwind> oh yeah its gross here

18:43 <Finwe> The RH stays over 90% here for the whole winter.

18:43 <Ali> 53F and raining

18:43 <Finwe> But that's just because cold air cannot contain that much water.

18:43 * Finwe puts a raincoat on Ali.

18:44 <Lunanightwind> that 22C and 97% humidity is what weather.com says at least

18:44 <Schism> Right now, humidity is so high because it's been raining all day.

18:46 <Lunanightwind> i know its gonna rain here but it hasnt started yet

18:50 <Finwe> No sign of clouds here: https://testbed.fmi.fi/

18:50 * Finwe lives on the coast in the middle of the area covered by the radar.

18:52 <Starlight_Glimmer> Rain is good! Hides the damned sun!

18:53 * Schism nods, "The sun is a murderous bastard."

18:57 <Finwe> At least in the beginning of this summer she was.

18:57 <Finwe> Things got better in August, though.

19:00 <Lunanightwind> LOL I just had a technical support scammer call me, had him connect to my Linux Virtual Machine and he didnt know what direction was up LOL

19:03 <Schism> Hee.  I've occasionally considered running an XP VM just for situations like that.

19:05 <Lunanightwind> I get scam calls a couple times a day usually i try to keep them on the line for a little bit, hoping that maybe i can keep one old lady that doesnt know any better from getting scammed

19:07 * Schism noddles.

19:08 <Lunanightwind> this was a basic amazon scam, they needed to connect to my computer so i just connected them to my ubuntu distro and kept them on the line for like 10 minutes pretending i couldnt remember the password to my amazon account, then i cut the network adapter off through the VM software and asked the person helping me to just tell me MY name, of course they never get my name and they just start guessing names because even if they some

19:08 <Lunanightwind> doesnt match

19:08 <Schism> Oh, that's a fantastic way of breaking that.  X3

19:09 <Lunanightwind> and i have never had one scammer guess less than 5 namess

19:09 <Lunanightwind> closest they have ever gotten is Lauren and thats still a bit off

19:13 <Lunanightwind> but this dude was so confused that he couldnt find the windows icon to open my web browser

19:13 <somininin> You saw him struggling live?

19:16 <Lunanightwind> i saw him moving the mouse all over the screen looking for it and just going "ummm....ok.....ummmm....no.....ummmm...

19:19 <Lunanightwind> i mean i had one of these guys connect to a windows VM a few weeks ago and he tried to syskey...hoping that i hadnt updated my computer in so long that syskey would still work

19:24 <Lunanightwind> so i just hope that wasting these guys time might help save just one person from getting scammed

19:25 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #3820 [ https://tinyurl.com/yfszhfd8 ]

19:26 * Shadowed starts chewing on stuff.

19:27 * Shadowed got a new shiny last night. Wasn't even hunting it.

19:27 * Shadowed shows off her Pheromosa.

19:27 <Lunanightwind> Hi Shadowed

19:27 * Shadowed waves.

19:28 <Lunanightwind> I had to look up what you were talking about....i havent played pokemon in a long long time so i had no clue what a Pheromosa was

19:28 <Shadowed> One of the Ultra Beasts out of Ultra Sun/Moon

19:29 <Lunanightwind> I havent played since Gold and Silver on the GBC so i had NOOOOOO idea

19:30 <Lunanightwind> I had a hint of an idea when you said shiny because both my partners play pokemon and i hear them talking about shinys all the time but i still had to check and make sure it wasnt something else

19:33 <Shadowed> It is the most successful franchise on the planet.

19:33 <Lunanightwind> I realize that I just gave up on it when it jumped to GBA and havent gone back

19:33 <Lunanightwind> I do know that shiny's are rare though so i will say congratulations on finding a shiny!

19:36 <Lunanightwind> i do know people love pokemon its just not my jam and thats ok, its a good series as far as i know and im so glad that people who do love it find enjoyment in it

19:36 * Shadowed puts jam on her toast and munches.

19:37 <Lunanightwind> ohhhh what flavor jam?

19:37 <Shadowed> Grape.

19:37 * Shadowed is basic.

19:37 <Lunanightwind> grape is yummy

19:37 <Lunanightwind> also nothing wrong with being basic, im a basic girl

19:44 * Schism sighs, "Darnit." She shakes her head, "That coffee shop visit should not have taken 25 minutes, but the people right ahead of me had a $60 order."

19:44 * Schism also boops Lunanightwind with a Shadowed, and vice versa. Offers spinny skirts.

19:45 * Shadowed goes spinny!

19:45 <Lunanightwind> I already went spinny today when i put on my skirt

19:45 <Lunanightwind> BRB though grabbing some nail polish and doing a paint

19:45 <Schism> I should try out that emerald green I picked up a few days ago.

19:45 * Shadowed also wishes to buy petticoats.

19:46 <Schism> Oh, any movement in the Quest for Girlpills?

19:47 * Schism sips her double-double, and noms upon some items. Like pumpkin spice muffin. And pumpkin spice timbits.

19:47 * Shadowed shakes her head. Is at that stage of wants too, but has problems working up the courage to make the calls/visit the places necessary.

19:47 <Lunanightwind> I have a midnight blue i am gonna put on

19:48 <Schism> Tis a huge step...

19:48 <Lunanightwind> Its tough finding that courage

19:48 <Lunanightwind> you will find it soon i am sure of it

19:50 * Shadowed knows that Cis people don't get to this point intellectually, but going, "Okay, now I have to convince someone else that this is what I'm feeling" is hard.

19:50 * Starlight_Glimmer takes their Ali pillow and goes to bed. "Sweet dreams, everyone."

19:50 <Schism> Ali: https://twitter.com/SNeurotypicals/status/1438675506946355203

19:50 <Schism> G'night, Glimglam!

19:50 * Ali poofs back. "Unicorn dun't go to bed."

19:50 <Lunanightwind> night starlight

19:51 <Ali> Its not a myth...I hate loud noises.

19:52 <Schism> The myth is that autistic folks generally hate loud noises.  Which, well, is true, but...

19:52 <Lunanightwind> it can be tough shadowed, but there are good people out there who deal with this kinda thing daily who try to make the whole thing as simple as possible

19:52 <TheAstrallyForged> .hg (yay spinny~)

19:52 * Shadowed puts it off till her new photo id arrives.

19:53 <Schism> There is the other concern... that it can be hard to explain this to cis folks.

19:53 <Schism> Not just working up the courage to, but finding the words.

19:53 * Schism headtilts at TheAstrallyForged. (Also, spins.)

19:54 * Shadowed also lives in Oklahoma, trusting others is really hard when you haven't met them.

19:54 <Lunanightwind> nails are painted <3

19:54 <Lunanightwind> Midnight blue on the left hand and neon pop pink on the right

19:54 <Schism> Ooh.  Nice touch.

19:55 * Schism has some cyan, pink and white nail polish. Because of course she does.

19:55 <Lunanightwind> i do different colors all the time, i think black is the only time i ever go the same on all 10 fingers, and even that is rare

19:55 <Lunanightwind> my nails were trans flags the entire month of june

19:55 <Lunanightwind> pinky and thumb blue, index and ring pink and middle white

19:56 <Lunanightwind> sometimes i will alternate fingers between two colors i just have fun with my nails LOL

19:56 <Schism> Same with me.  (I had a hard time remembering the exact pattern of the flag before I internalized that the pinky is blue.)

19:57 * Schism goes ahhh. "Two muffins, a few donut holes, and an extra-large coffee with two creams and two sugars. That's the stuff."

19:58 <Lunanightwind> ohhh muffins sound yum

19:58 <Lunanightwind> im a hungry girl >_<

19:58 <Schism> One was a fruit muffin, the other was a pumpkin spice muffin.

19:58 * Schism hugs the Lunanightwind. "It's not especially filling, tho..."

19:59 <Lunanightwind> i dont eat much now a days so a muffin i am sure would fill me up

20:00 <Lunanightwind> im the type of girl who can eat a single hotdog and be full for a couple of hours

20:00 <Schism> My metabolism's not quite that slow... though it's not as absurdly quick as a few years ago.  Like, a bowl of ramen with veggies and a bit of chicken in it, that's me for the next 12 hours.

20:01 <somininin> >.>?

20:01 <Schism> Muffins.

20:02 <Schism> !muffin

20:02 <DerpyBot> Muffins!! You have any? :3

20:02 <Schism> Maybe.

20:02 * DerpyBot glomps Schism...Maybe

20:02 <somininin> <.<?

20:02 <somininin> havnt eaten a muffin in years

20:02 <Lunanightwind> you brought up muffins im so tempted to order a pumpkin spice muffin on grub hub now

20:02 <Schism> Tim Hortons has some fairly good ones... hee.

20:02 <Lunanightwind> and a coffee....not sure what kind of coffee yet

20:03 <Lunanightwind> if im getting a pumpkin spice muffin i cant get pumpkin spice coffee

20:04 * Schism just went with normal coffee. Two cream, two sugar.

20:04 <Schism> Though they also had chai tea... nah, too much.

20:04 <Schism> Ahem, masala chai.*

20:05 * Ali rolls around

20:05 * Schism passes Ali a pumpkin spice floof.

20:05 * Ali doesn't get into that gimmick

20:06 <Schism> I only very rarely have anything pumpkin spice, even around this time of year, but sometimes there's this craving.

20:06 <Lunanightwind> ordered, got a pumpkin spice muffin and a matcha green tea latte

20:06 * Schism noddles.

20:07 * somininin has no idea what pumpkin spice even is.

20:07 <Lunanightwind> otherwize i was just gonna end up ordering a french vanilla ice coffee with 10 cream and 8 sugars

20:07 <Schism> Just cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

20:08 <Schism> That's... that's a drink you could order, yes.

20:08 <Lunanightwind> thats my normal coffee order Schism

20:08 <Schism> Is there room in the cup for any coffee?

20:08 <somininin> But no pumphin?

20:08 <Schism> somininin, it's the spice used for pumpkin pies.

20:08 <Lunanightwind> you arent the first person to ask that question

20:09 <somininin> the name is a lie

20:09 * Schism is warm now. So she takes off her sweater. Now she's too cold.

20:09 <Schism> It's used for spicing pumpkin!  So it's pumpkin spice.  :<

20:10 <Lunanightwind> I am currently wearing the same skirt and leggings i had mentioned earlier, but i now have on a red and black swirl dysphoria hoodie on

20:12 <Schism> Sounds cute.  <3

20:12 *** Quits: somininin (mift@Pony-415rgh.dyn.telefonica.de) (Quit: Leaving)

20:12 <Lunanightwind> I love this hoodie, i would love it more if it had a pocket but its still comfy and acceptable

20:12 <Schism> I'm going to miss pockets.

20:13 <Schism> I preordered one of these, though.  https://store.mayakern.com/collections/skirts/products/preorder-bee-midi-skirt - a selling point?  Pockets large enough to fit a Switch.

20:14 <Lunanightwind> https://www.hottopic.com/product/red-black-lace-up-sleeves-tie-dye-girls-hoodie/13886298.html#q=Red%2B&start=3 this is the hoodie im wearing

20:14 <Schism> Ooh...

20:15 <Lunanightwind> I am still a goth kid at heart, 34 years old and shopping at hot topic LOL

20:16 * Schism is 35. She should look into that, though! The funny thing about estrogen is that she looks 25 now, so might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

20:17 <Schism> Never really did the whole goth thing when I was a teen, because.  So...

20:17 <Lunanightwind> Oh i was a goth just for the excuse to wear makeup

20:17 * Schism giggles.

20:18 * Shadowed sits over hear at the youngun at 31.

20:18 * Schism rolls over and pats the Shadowed.

20:19 <Lunanightwind> like heres the thing in HS i was goth cuz it let me wear makeup because I SOOOOO wasnt ready to come out but i still wanted to feel eyeliner, eyeshadow and lipstick and nailpolish

20:19 <Lunanightwind> *also pets Shadowed because why not*

20:19 * Shadowed pony PURRS.

20:20 * Schism makes a cup of masala chai for herself, too, because the spice must flow.

20:24 <Lunanightwind> ....my grubhub order got canceled ;_;

20:24 <Schism> eep... ;-;

20:24 * Shadowed watches her 4 year old niece try to convince us that she's still sick so she doesn't have to go to school tomorrow. No fever, she's full of energy, and only coughs when she's telling us that she's sick. So off to the doctor to make sure.

20:27 <Lunanightwind> awww how cute

20:27 <Schism> Cursed images.  https://twitter.com/MatttGFX/status/1440662037831380999

20:28 <Shadowed> Poor kiddo doesn't understand taht acting sick is a full time gig, and not just when she thinks we are paying attention.

20:28 <Schism> Well, she's only 4.  She's plenty of time to learn how to properly skive off.

20:28 * Shadowed wants to buy them.

20:29 <Lunanightwind> see i loved the N64

20:29 <Lunanightwind> also the one on the right

20:29 <Schism> I still love the N64.  Should load up Diddy Kong Racing again on the original hardware.

20:30 * Shadowed remembers using two controllers together for Perfect Dark

20:33 <TheAstrallyForged> <Lunanightwind> I am currently wearing the same skirt and leggings i had mentioned earlier, but i now have on a red and black swirl dysphoria hoodie on

20:33 <TheAstrallyForged> .hg omc. :3

20:34 <Lunanightwind> oh wait they are actually putting out a switch N64 controller?

20:34 <Lunanightwind> also not sure what .hg  omg. means

20:35 <Schism> Nah, I don't _think_ they are, but it'd be neat.

20:35 <Schism> I believe TheAstrallyForged is plural, if I'm not misremembering.

20:35 <Schism> Well, are plural.

20:35 <Lunanightwind> i just looked up news there is apparently gonna be a nintendo direct in the next 2 days and they are revealing a new controller schism

20:36 <Schism> I doubt it'll be thaaat... unless they finally release an N64 virtual console for the Switch, which ahahahaha not likely.

20:36 <Lunanightwind> they will announce n64 gb and gbc virtual console all at once

20:37 <Schism> This is Nintendo of whom we're speaking.

20:37 <Lunanightwind> well Hello Theastrallyforged hope yall are doing well

20:38 <Shadowed> The head of Sega reveals the Dreamcast VC and walks back off camera.

20:38 * Shadowed demands sequel or remake of Skies of Arcadia.

20:39 <Lunanightwind> Sega announce shenmue 4 and Persona 5 Royal for the switch...you wont...you are chicken

20:39 <Lunanightwind> also every yakuza game on switch, and the 2 judgement games on PC. you wont...too afraid of a talent agency

20:41 <Lunanightwind> Also nintendo, all you have to do to win me over is announce one game for switch but it will  never happen

20:42 <Shadowed> They announce at least one game every direct.

20:42 * Schism does wonder which that is.

20:42 <Ali> You know the only thing we'll learn from the direct is another swordfighter for smash

20:43 <Schism> Lunanightwind, which game, pray tell?  Terranigma?

20:43 <Lunanightwind> Schism the same game ive been asking for for the decade ive been a part of this chat

20:43 <Lunanightwind> Mother 3

20:43 <Schism> Oh right!

20:43 * Schism nods. "That would be sufficient."

20:44 * Shadowed never played Mother 1 or 2.

20:44 <Schism> I mean, come on, Nintendo.  Lucas is in Smash.  

20:45 <Lunanightwind> I have a famicom copy of mother 1, a super famicom and a super nintendo version of mother 2, 2 GBA copies of mother 3, a Mother 3 Gameboy Micro, and 2 copies of Mother 1+2 for the gba

20:45 <Schism> Wonder if Rez would hold up on today's consoles.

20:45 <Lunanightwind> i just want an official US release of Mother 3

20:45 * Schism nodnods.

20:45 <Lunanightwind> didnt they put out a new Rez game like 5 years ago

20:46 <Lunanightwind> maybe less than that it was on the PS4

20:46 <Lunanightwind> yeah rez infinite

20:46 <Schism> Huh.  Not been following so closely...

20:47 <Lunanightwind> yeah came out in 2016 i thought i remember playing REZ in VR

20:48 <Ali> Odds of a US release of Mother 3 is like asking for Half Life 3

20:48 <Shadowed> Then they release Mother: Alyx.

20:49 <Ali> Or Megaman Legends 3

20:49 * Ali is still pissed that got canned

20:49 <Shadowed> Silent Hill PT?

20:49 <Schism> May as well say 'anything good from Konami'.

20:50 <Ali> I don't thinkk Konami puts anything on Nintendo anymore

20:50 <Lunanightwind> Silent Hills still has a chance of happening shadowed just without kojima and Reedus behind it, there was a rumor a few months back that Konami has a small team working on a new silent hill game using the silent hills title that was teased all those years ago

20:50 <Schism> I don't think Konami do much of anything anymore, besides of course pachinko.

20:51 <Schism> Oh, and driving the Silent Hill franchise into the ground.

20:51 <Ali> BURN TO THE GROUND BURN BURN

20:52 <Lunanightwind> Heres the thing to remember....Death stranding IS a thing...it is 100% possible that Death Stranding was built off the corpse of Silent Hills

20:52 <Schism> Meanwhile, Capcom are putting out bangers like Monster Hunter Rise, RE7: Biohazard, Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II Ultimate, Street Fighter II Ultimate Revised with Bag of Chips...

20:52 * Ali runs around in circles with two other copies around Schism tossing things at them

20:52 * Schism wonders when Ali turned into... was that Tron Bonne?

20:52 <Lunanightwind> Rise is ok, RE VILLage is pretty good

20:53 <Ali> Wrong game Schism

20:53 <Lunanightwind> any love i have for Street Fighter 2 is crushed by the existance of street fighter 5

20:53 <Shadowed> But Konami gave us Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel this year!

20:54 <Ali> You triggered my trap Shadowed

20:54 <Ali> Game of unrulely gambling

20:54 <Shadowed> And Bombergirl came out 2018.

20:54 <Lunanightwind> also Schism dont forget about Devil May Cry 5 Special edition with Virgil featuring Dante from Devil may cry

20:54 <Ali> And Knuckles

20:54 <Lunanightwind> I was thinking about adding that Ali but decided not to

20:55 <Schism> There's also the new Ace Attorney, which I've heard is pretty good.

20:55 * Shadowed glares at From Software. Give Elden Ring already

20:55 <Lunanightwind> Unpopular opinion, Ace Attorney is Capcoms only current DEPENDABLE franchise

20:56 <Ali> Since they won't give us more Megaman T.T

20:56 <Lunanightwind> Monster Hunter has a few games that have been panned critically, every single Ace Attorney game has been critically acclaimed

20:57 <Shadowed> The last 4 resident Evils have been good. It's time for them to mess that up again.

20:57 <Lunanightwind> See my problem with mega man is the existence of MM7,8, and bass, X6,X7 and X8 and to a lesser extent 6

20:57 <Schism> Whaaaat, you don't think Megaman & Bass was a perfectly fair and reasonably balanced game?

20:57 <Ali> Megaman 11...

20:57 <Schism> How dare.

20:58 <Lunanightwind> I think the last 2 Resident evil games were ok

20:58 <Shadowed> 2, 3, 7, 8 are good.

20:58 <Lunanightwind> Megaman 11 was good

20:58 <Schism> Capcom can also be relied upon to keep doing Marvel vs. Ca--wait, last release was 2017?  Huh.

20:58 <Ali> But we must sthap doctah wahwee

20:59 <Lunanightwind> oh yeah i forgot the REmakes exist

21:00 <Lunanightwind> I am a big MvC fan...Disney has killed that series as far as i am concerned Schism

21:00 <Lunanightwind> infinate does not exist to me

21:01 * Shadowed wants another good super hero game. Will have to wait on Insomniac to give us more Spider-Man and Wolverine.

21:01 * Shadowed has zero faith in Square Enix after their Avengers game.

21:01 <Lunanightwind> oh I am sooooo hype for Wolverine and Spiderman 2

21:01 <Shadowed> Spider-Man.

21:01 * Schism throws her water/ice Controller at Shadowed. Wellspring was one of her favourite characters.

21:01 <Lunanightwind> I want to have a little faith in Guardians of the Galaxy but its hard to stay hopeful after what Avengers was

21:01 <Shadowed> The hyphen is important.

21:02 <Lunanightwind> sorry for forgetting the hyphen

21:02 <Shadowed> Wellspring?

21:03 <Lunanightwind> any games hitting before the end of the year that yall are looking forward to

21:04 <Shadowed> Pokemon BDSP

21:04 <Schism> Though my Kin/Sonic Defender was my favourite.  He/she was sheer crowd control, buff/debuff central, and just generally a blast to play.

21:05 <Schism> Shadowed: A researcher in Paragon City whose talents led her to the creation, with some phlebotinum or other, of powered gloves which could control water molecules.

21:05 <Lunanightwind> i have 3 games next month and 1 game in december im hype for, and 2 of those games are remasters

21:05 <Lunanightwind> sorry 3 of those games are remasters

21:05 * Shadowed suspects Schism thinks she has greater knowledge of something than she does.

21:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff - BEST Art of Humanized and Anthro Sunset Shimmer (2021 Edition Part 1)  [ https://tinyurl.com/yzkxoqvr ]

21:05 <Schism> Old MMO named City of Heroes.

21:05 * Shadowed gets angry.

21:06 * Schism squeaks.

21:06 * Shadowed wanted to play City of Heroes so badly.

21:06 * Shadowed lived out in the boonies and by the time she could the servers where down.

21:06 <Schism> I suppose then that you wouldn't be at all interested in the knowledge that there is now a server running City of Heroes for free.

21:07 * Shadowed Wants.

21:07 <Lunanightwind> I am super looking forward to alan wake remaster, Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, Metroid Dread, and DanganRonpa Decadence

21:07 <Shadowed> But work makes time for MMOs hard.

21:07 <Schism> https://forums.homecomingservers.com/

21:08 <Shadowed> So it's free?

21:08 <Schism> Free as in beer.

21:08 * Shadowed bookmarks it, will check it out this weekend.

21:10 <Schism> Just a note, though... the server and the game reflect their early MMO origins.

21:11 <Shadowed> Does this mean I can actually play a support class?

21:11 <Schism> Why yes!  Though every class can, at least theoretically, be soloed.

21:11 * Shadowed likes support.

21:12 <Schism> Defender, Sentinel, Tanker... even the Corruptor is mostly debuff/support.

21:14 * Shadowed was a Mercy Main back when she played Overwatch.

21:14 <Schism> Though I'll note, while the Empathy power set can be nice as a healer, it's kinda boring.  There are better things to pick.  Like traps, or time manipulation, or radiation emission.  o3o

21:31 *** Quits: Tiffany (twily@Pony-7t3p7u.clients.your-server.de) (Quit: Something tells me everything is not going to be fine.)

21:34 <Schism> Shadowed, naturally, this is City of Heroes, City of Villains, and the Going Rogue 'neutral' faction zone, Praetoria.

21:35 <Shadowed> But why would you want to be anything other than the hero? /s

21:38 <Schism> Ask me that question again once you've met Flambeaux, the ditziest hero ever known.

21:39 <Schism> Immediately wanted to throw her from a rooftop, except she flies...

21:39 *** Joins: Tiffany (twily@Pony-7t3p7u.clients.your-server.de)

21:42 <Lunanightwind> City of Heroes was fun while it lasted...dunno if i would ever jump on a pri ser for it though

21:42 <Schism> Eh, this one's been running publicly for a few years, so.

21:43 <Ali> I'm getting really mad at this Endurance Series

21:43 <Ali> I have several 'best in class' parts

21:43 * Schism reads the new article on the GD Bible, and shakes her head. "So much eggshell."

21:43 <Ali> But I'm running dogshit slow to the 13 time champs

21:43 <Lunanightwind> For me its one of those melody from the past things. great to get nostalgic over but never want to go there again for one reason or another

21:44 <Schism> That's reasonable.  And there are aspects of the game which genuinely don't hold up over time.

21:44 * Shadowed wanders off to get ready for work.

21:44 * Schism hugs the Shadowed, wishes her a good shift.

21:45 * Ali grumblycakes

21:48 <Lunanightwind> have a good shift Shadowed

21:48 * Lunanightwind hugs the ali-corn

21:48 * Schism also hugs the Ali.

21:50 <Ali> I just can't beat these cheaters...its making me so upset.

21:53 <Ali> I have one of the better cars, but am always 80 or more seconds behind these jerk

22:03 <Lunanightwind> ...i remember now why i never use this neon pop nail polish

22:04 * Schism headtilts?

22:04 <Shadowed> Because Kobolds are best bolds?

22:04 <Schism> Topcoats are helpful...

22:05 <Lunanightwind> i am out of clear coat Schism

22:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff - BEST Art of Humanized and Anthro Sunset Shimmer (2021 Edition Part 2)  [ https://tinyurl.com/ye8ppwwa ]

22:05 * Schism squeaks. "Awr."

22:06 <Lunanightwind> but like my entire pinky on the pink hand completely scratched off so i just had to repaint it

22:06 <Schism> agh.

22:06 <Schism> Well, at least it's not a nail chip.

22:07 <Lunanightwind> truth

22:08 <Lunanightwind> i have 5 bottles of polish on my computer desk now

22:09 <Lunanightwind> i have the 2 colors i used today, i have black and white on my desk from when i skunk striped last time i painted my nails and i have this pretty teal that i usually mix with the black

22:10 <Schism> When I feel like burning an hour, I'll give myself the standards -- file, slight clip, clean, bottom coat, varnish, top coat...

22:10 <Lunanightwind> oh yeah when i actually feel like i can sit still without getting distracted for an hour ill go all out

22:11 <Lunanightwind> I REALLY should at least clip my nails because they are all janked up cuz i broke a couple nails the other day

22:11 <Schism> Yeeeah.  Every time I touch something with a broken nail, I shudder.

22:11 <Lunanightwind> right index middle and pinky are all short, ring and thumb are long and all of my left hand is long

22:14 <Lunanightwind> i am so bad with breaking my nails though v_v

22:14 <Lunanightwind> i swear if i sneeze the wrong way i break a nail sometimes

22:21 <Lunanightwind> if it gets broken though i just rip it all off

22:35 * Schism just... cuts it to the quick.

22:51 <Schism> Well, this is cute.  https://twitter.com/Pockicchi/status/1440772030383616003

22:58 * Ali puts a cute sticker on Schism. Then poofs!

22:58 * Schism shakes it off! She is not cute.

23:00 <Lunanightwind> Look Ali and Schism i have something to tell you both

23:00 * Schism covers her ears and goes lalalala. May be cute in the fullness of time.

23:00 <Lunanightwind> Schism you are SUPER cute

23:00 <Lunanightwind> like it or not you are

23:01 * Schism hides under her hoodie.

23:01 <Lunanightwind> and ali you are cute too

23:01 <Lunanightwind> Schism no hiding that cuteness LOL

23:02 <Schism> *noU emotes*

23:02 <Ali> Unicorn has never been cute!

23:03 * Schism puts up her hood and pulls the drawstring.

23:03 <Schism> (Also works to hide the blush.)

23:04 <Ali> Oh so you admiting you ARE cute then

23:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Drawfriend Stuff - BEST Art of Pony Sunset Shimmer (2021 Edition)  [ https://tinyurl.com/yzl2ynuj ]

23:05 <Schism> I said I may be cute eventually!

23:06 <Ali> See I've never been cute

23:10 <Schism> Look, see?  Not cute.  https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/890374373477851197/890374393715359774/unknown.png?width=384&height=474

23:11 <Lunanightwind> IDK looks pretty cute to me

23:11 <Lunanightwind> now see me....Im not cu--- HAHAHA no i cant even finish that line, im hot as hecc

23:12 * Schism giggles. "Well, that's true, at least."

23:13 * Lunanightwind sticks my tongue out at Schism "you are cute as hecc too, 10/10 would snuggle"

23:13 * Schism blushes, and curls up all foxishly. "Nonsense."

23:13 <Lunanightwind> unfortunately i have absolutely 0 way to prove it to you

23:14 <Lunanightwind> but you are totally cute, would totally pull you into bed and snuggle you like a teddybear

23:15 * Schism would -want- snuggles, but right now she's going to just curl up tighter and blush.

23:15 <Lunanightwind> .....im sorry ill shut up now i forgot to turn off my flirt switch after talking to my friend Zelena....im so sorry

23:16 <Schism> Hehe.  It's alright.  It's nothing PG or above.

23:16 * Schism does offer the Lunanightwind a hug. She's just kind of ... well, in part still in that 'too shy and lacking in self-esteem' stage.

23:17 * Lunanightwind hugs back and follows through on her threat of pulling her in for teddybear like snuggles

23:17 * Schism squeaks. Grey fox turns red.

23:18 <Lunanightwind> I win

23:18 * Schism still remains uncute, though.

23:19 <Lunanightwind> naw you have been blushing, makes you cuter

23:19 * Schism bites her lower lip. "Nu-uh."

23:21 <Lunanightwind> look we could have this argument all night but if we are gonna keep having it lets move it to PM so we arent clogging up main

23:22 * Schism sighs, and capitulates. She may be slightly cute.

23:22 <Lunanightwind> Good enough for now

23:22 * Schism puffycheeks at Ali, though.

23:22 <Lunanightwind> ....you are puffycheeking at ali....when i have been the one arguing you

23:22 * Lunanightwind is quite confused on the logic

23:23 <Schism> Because she keeps trying to get me to say that sort of thing too.

23:23 <Schism> When she's much cuter.

23:23 <Lunanightwind> its ok Ali needs to say shes cute too

23:24 <Lunanightwind> All i know is pre transition i used to go on about being ugly but like...im cute as hecc now,

23:25 <Schism> I'm still a bebe trans gal, tho.  So I'll be cute EVENTUALLY, I know this at least.  (Also, yes, okay, gender euphoria all over.)

23:25 <Lunanightwind> Cute as hecc although slightly disheveled right now

23:27 <Lunanightwind> Can I tell ya something Schism, Like no joke no lies, you are honestly super cute as it is, It may take a while for you to see in the mirror what you perceive as cute, hell its been 5 years and i still have trouble seeing it in myself sometimes, part of its dysphoria and part of it is that you see yourself every day, so you will never notice the changes that have happened

23:29 <Lunanightwind> Even if you dont see it in yourself now, trust others, letting yourself run you down that you arent seeing changes in yourself wont do you any good, because its possible unless you have before and after pictures you might not actually see the changes because they are little changes that hit every day

23:29 <Schism> Thank you, honestly.  I know, it's a matter of personal perception, and all that -- amongst other things, the swinging pendulum and the fear of others and... well, all manner of remaining issues from a lifetime of dysphoria.  I know that's a girl in the mirror or the camera, that she is me, and that, yes, on some level is cute.  Internalizing that... is harder.

23:31 <Schism> (And a part of it is that it's a meme on a Discord server for girls to point at each other and go, 'no, you're the cute one'.)

23:32 * Ali isn't cute because unicorn never was

23:32 <Lunanightwind> it can be hard to internalize it all, especially at our ages, hell i know from my siblings that going through puberty as a teenager its hard to see yourself as cute. but thats what we are right now we are mid 30's girls going through puberty and HRT puberty lasts longer than natural puberty *party popper*

23:33 <Lunanightwind> Just remember no matter how hard you can be on yourself one person legitimately thinks you are a super cute girl hun, thats the best advice i can give you

23:33 <Schism> There is that... also, at least we don't have to worry about loads of acne.

23:34 * Schism hugs Lunanightwind. "Thanks. And I know quite a few folks do. I'm just overwhelmed, even after six months."

23:34 <Lunanightwind> it can be overwhelming n

23:34 <Schism> And yes, yet another person thinks you're hawt too.  :p

23:34 <Lunanightwind> also ALI, you are cute and you always were

23:34 <Lunanightwind> sorry i keep going off on derailing tangents

23:34 * Schism puts a cute sign on Ali.

23:34 * Ali watches it burn

23:38 * Schism looks back at a selfie or two from a few months ago. "Well, that from July was pretty good still.."

23:39 <Schism> Even that pretty much shows progress, on consideration.  So okay, okay.

23:41 <Lunanightwind> lol

23:42 * Lunanightwind puts a new cute sign on Ali but uses magic to make it not burn

23:42 * Ali watches that one disentigrate

23:42 <Ali> Hmm I wonder what happened to that one~

23:42 <Lunanightwind> oh come on ali....

23:43 * Schism puts a cute sign on Ali which is immune to fire and disintegration!

23:43 * Ali watches that one blow away!

23:43 <Ali> See, not cute~

23:43 * Schism paints the word 'cute' on the ground in front of Ali.

23:43 <Lunanightwind> Ali you cant just say you are cute once...i mean this is the pony who you originally knew as broken saying she is cute....just give me one time you saying you are cute

23:43 * Ali picks up Schism and plants her there instead

23:44 * Schism squeaks. Is... well, is somewhat cute. So that's okay. But Ali should be in her place!

23:44 <Ali> Eh, not likely.  I've never felt cute, or been called cute by anyone not grandmother age

23:45 <Lunanightwind> you have 2 cute girls here telling you that you are cute....just accept it

23:45 * Schism puts a Luna (the cat!) on Ali's head. There, cuter yet.

23:45 <Lunanightwind> .....that could STILL refer to me Schism...you are fox girl...I am cat girl

23:46 <Schism> Oh right.  In this case, one of Ali's cats... the other one being Celly.

23:46 <Lunanightwind> lol

23:46 <Schism> Tis true, she got two kittens.

23:46 <Ali> Luna 'my' cat, is a jerk.  You can't even pick her up long enough to put her up there, not to mention she'd shread you trying to get away.

23:47 * Ali doesn't know why they're rude, but...they are.

23:47 <Schism> Cats.  -sagenod-  Well, many cats, anyway.

23:49 <Lunanightwind> They are cats... cats are jerks who think they are better than everyone...i should know im a catgirl ;-P

23:49 <Schism> Nooooo.  Khloe Aliapoh is a sweetheart.

23:50 <Schism> And so's Zhloe.  (Though the latter suffers from the same sort of cripping anxiety many of us do.)

23:50 <Lunanightwind> I have had one friendly ACTUAL cat in my entire life

23:51 * Schism is lucky. All her cats have been friendly, or at least reasonably so. From the one which would constantly be by her side, to the one which would lay on her chest and drool, to the one who would squeak if she wasn't letting him on her lap.

23:52 <Lunanightwind> im a cat girl who prefers dogs lol

23:54 <Ali> I've had six cats so far

23:54 <Ali> all of them have been pure jerks

23:54 <Ali> Until the 3rd one got to 17 years old

23:54 <Ali> Too old to care anymore, so she was so different

23:54 <Ali> These four year old brats are well...I don't know what to say. *grumps*

23:55 <Lunanightwind> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/637369987564175410/890385502237249536/received_944073062856629.jpeg look at my cute puppy

23:55 <Schism> Aw, is floof.

23:56 <Lunanightwind> Yorkie named ranger,

23:56 <Schism> Also, that's a lot of squishables over there.

23:56 <Lunanightwind> LOL

23:56 <Lunanightwind> look i wasnt allowed stuffies when i was pretending to be a boy...i have stuffies now

23:57 <Lunanightwind> hecc i have a 200 dollar teddy bear sitting next to my computer desk

23:57 <Schism> I had some, but for years I didn't allow myself to have any.  Now, of course, there's the blahaj, and I want moar.  (Particularly a giant stuffed fox, because.)

23:57 <Schism> And maybe a giant Mr. Mew Mew, from The World Ends with You.

23:57 <Schism> Er, just Mr. Mew.

23:58 <Lunanightwind> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/637369987564175410/890386480948715550/20210922_195741.jpg 200 dollar build a bear

23:58 <Schism> Cute!  o.o

23:58 <Schism> Aaaand very sparkly indeed.

23:59 <Lunanightwind> every sparkly  on that is a swarovski crystal

23:59 * Ali is happy with her 24" Eevee plush
