00:02 <Schism> harlo

00:02 * Schism hugs the Lumindia. "I KNOW"

00:02 <Schism> These last few years have also not been good on cardio.

00:02 <Schism> hallo i stretch and then i flop

00:03 <Schism> "Hey, try running for 2 minutes." [1 minute later] AUGH

00:06 <Lumindia> yeah, that was me

00:06 * Ali gives Schism 80lbs of cat litter

00:06 <Lumindia> This is why I need this...

00:06 <Lumindia> So I'm not exhausted after a mere three minute jog

00:07 * Ali also gives Lumindia 80lbs of cat litter

00:07 <Lumindia> gimme two 40lb buckets of it and I can do the thing like in the movies

00:08 * Ali sits on Lumindia. "Why does 14 have so many actions buttons...."

00:11 <Lumindia> such is the way of MMOs

00:14 *** Quits: NitroTheFurryWerewolf (Nitro@Pony-8cd55j.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) (Connection closed)

00:14 * Ali boops Lumindia, WoW to unicorn had 6-7, while arcanist in 14 has a full bar and she can't use them all..

00:15 *** Joins: NitroTheFurryWerewolf (Nitro@Pony-8cd55j.hfc.comcastbusiness.net)

00:16 <Schism> ACN is tricky...!

00:16 * Schism also squees. Hugs the Ali.

00:16 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/UopOvE6.png

00:16 <Lumindia> summoner only uses 24 buttons

00:16 * Ali cries

00:17 <Schism> Lumindia, yeah, need to play Ring Fit so that I'm not ... augh.

00:17 <Lumindia> '-' it's probably the job with the least amount of buttons to hit

00:17 <Ali> Least....

00:17 * Schism mainclasses WHM.

00:17 <Schism> Ali, don't worry, they get better.  

00:17 <Schism> And most of them are situational.

00:18 <Ali> Schism, WoW for me was at most 7

00:18 <Lumindia> oh apparently Machinist just barely beats it

00:18 <Ali> and if a rotation was needed that had more, you macro'd

00:18 <Ali> I tend to get lost when too many buttons are needed

00:18 <Ali> Not to mention youc an still shoot dead mobs..

00:18 <Lumindia> since you bring up macros, no, you cannot combat macro your skills

00:20 * Ali cries harder

00:21 <Schism> At least you can't shoot dead mobs in FFXIV.

00:22 <Ali> You..kinda do

00:22 <Ali> And the ruby spell is so bad at that

00:22 <Schism> onyl a little

00:22 <Ali> Stupid long cast timer...

00:22 <Schism> only*

00:22 <Lumindia> typically the cast will cancel itself if a mob dies before it goes off

00:23 <Ali> I've had many rubies hit dead bodies

00:23 <Schism> Mario RPG annoys me...

00:23 <Lumindia> what level are you currently?

00:23 <Ali> Acanist is 27

00:24 * Ali spel gud

00:24 <Ali> Archer 17

00:24 <Ali> CNJ 8

00:24 * Schism should hlep the lAi lvevl.

00:24 <Ali> Fix your typing first

00:24 <Schism> <.<

00:24 <Ali> I'm on free trail so there's limits

00:24 <Lumindia> people can invite you to parties

00:24 <Schism> I know, but I can still  help you out to _some_ degree.

00:24 <Ali> Yus I know

00:24 <Lumindia> you just can't invite them to parties

00:25 <Ali> I've had help with the MSQ to get thru the trio of forced dungeons

00:25 <Lumindia> '-'

00:25 <Lumindia> Well let me tell you about the rest of the game then :D

00:25 <Lumindia> Dungeons are a good chunk of the casual content

00:25 <Lumindia> Get used to 'em

00:25 <Ali> I'm already on the fence

00:25 <Ali> And the massive ammount of buttons are starting to scare me off

00:26 * Schism hugs the Ali. "It's okay if you're not sure. And also, most of the buttons... you won't be using a lot of them."

00:26 <Ali> Schism, for the Arcanist

00:26 <Schism> Not most, perhaps.  Many.

00:26 <Ali> I have ruin

00:26 <Schism> Even then.

00:26 <Ali> Then the carbuncle summon up for the ability

00:26 <Ali> then the THREE separate carbuncle summons

00:26 <Schism> Once you get over to 30, you'll be using SOME buttons.

00:26 <Ali> Then the two gemshines

00:27 <Ali> Then there's energy drain and fester....

00:27 <Lumindia> you can remove Physick if you plan on going summoner rather than scholar

00:27 <Lumindia> ytou will NOT need that as summoner

00:27 <Lumindia> I don't know why they haven't gotten rid of it on SMN yet

00:27 <Ali> The healing spell is not on the main hotbar

00:27 <Lumindia> It should never be on your hotbar

00:27 <Ali> If you're soloing, might need an OH SHIT heal

00:27 <Schism> Ali: You ... might want to add second or even third hotbars.  I have 1-=, then ctrl-1, then alt-1...

00:28 <Ali> I have a second hotbar

00:28 <Schism> They're not necessary, but I like having them.

00:28 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/3k5kWkB.png I'm level 90 in iLvl 580 gear

00:28 <Lumindia> Physick heals me for 600 HP

00:28 <Lumindia> It's worse than useless

00:28 <Ali> But I'm used to those being just there for unimportant stuff

00:28 <Ali> Or stuff that's not used in battle often

00:28 <Ali> Like the rez button is on there, but I know I don't need it for main casting

00:29 <Schism> That's sane, but I use 1, Ctrl-1, then Alt-1 for combos.  :3

00:29 <Ali> Look I'm sure the solo gemshine is going to be useless now that I have the AoE

00:30 <Schism> It eventually will be, but there is the question of MP use.

00:30 <Ali> But having summon ruby, topaz, and emerald all on their own buttons, and need to be hit JUST to activate gemshine

00:30 <Ali> Then you have a button you have to hit JUST to active them

00:30 <Schism> Aghsdvxcbh.  I'mma gonna have to play SMN in order to say for sure.

00:30 <Ali> To even use the carbuncles Schism

00:30 <Ali> You have to cast a spell, which triggers a 15-20 second wait

00:30 <Ali> Then you can summon your trio

00:31 <Lumindia> Aethercharge makes your Ruin spell stronger

00:31 <Schism> It has been forever.

00:31 <Ali> Then you do that, their gemshine buttons change to that

00:31 <Ali> Then you cast spells for so long of that type, then it wears off, then you can summon on of the other two

00:31 <Ali> But Ruby feels to be the worst of the three, its spell is SO LONG...

00:32 <Schism> Time to do Heavensturn...

00:32 <Ali> Topaz is 4 charges of instant cast damage

00:32 <Ali> Not sure about Emerald much, the dungeons didn't allow emerald to be used.

00:32 <Schism> Limsa upmost...

00:33 <Schism> Oh, that came about in later levels.

00:33 * Schism sighs... deposits some materials.

00:33 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Full Set of Winter Themed Mane 6 Plushies Listed on AliExpress  [ https://tinyurl.com/y9udn2be ]

00:34 <Lumindia> Emerald is 4 instant cast, shorter cooldown spells

00:34 <Lumindia> weaker than topaz, but comes out faster

00:35 <Ali> I also got the AoEs unlocked, but not sure about anything else

00:35 * Ali is only doing this class cause A the pet is freaking cute, and B it unlocks the other heal classes, or so I heard.

00:36 <Lumindia> yep

00:36 <Lumindia> ACN is the only branching class in XIV

00:36 <Lumindia> it becomes either Summoner or Scholar

00:36 <Ali> Also it seems like every guild has its resident asshole

00:37 <Lumindia> yeah the class quests are very formulaic

00:44 <Schism> Ali: They all have their reasons, too. : #

07:25 <ConfusionRift> 20 rupees for 5 rupees. Hmmmmmm.

07:27 * Schism awakens, yawns, and opens a Monster which she drains in a single series of gulps. "gluh"

07:28 <Schism> That was odd.  Slept longer than expected due to my alarm clock running outta battery, but I'm not going to begrudge it for having an interesting and honestly-fulfilling dream.

10:06 <Finwe> o3o

10:17 * ConfusionRift boops around to see if someone knows of a relatively cheap binder for cards.

10:24 <Golden> Depends. Target may have some

10:30 <ConfusionRift> Okay, so the plan was to get a binder so I can put them poke cards in pokedex order. And if you check the pokedex,, there are... close to 1000 pokemons. I do have a binder that can fit them, but have noticed that as I keep adding cards, the pages are starting to bulge and bend the cards. And the O-rings are making it difficult to go through the pages.

10:30 <ConfusionRift> I found the perfect binder... but it's close to $80.

10:31 <ConfusionRift> And the other binder that might work is cheap, but has zippers that can damage the pages when moving the binder.

11:22 <Lumindia> friend pony indeed

11:22 <ConfusionRift> "A $60 statement card can be yours!" Wait,, so is that a $60 gift card of sorts, or a card that has a statement that is worth $60?

11:22 <Lumindia> ShadowedFriend is very warm

11:22 * Shadowed has the power of blankets.

11:23 <Lumindia> blankets are good

11:23 <Lumindia> they make friend pony warm

11:35 * ConfusionRift plunges and gets the cheap option. "I can get dividers and put them on the front and rear pages to protect them.

12:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Fanfiction:  A King and Queen of Infinite Space [ https://tinyurl.com/y8kmvvf7 ]

12:04 <uni> what are you buying ConfusionRift?

12:04 <ConfusionRift> Binder for cards.

12:05 <uni> ooh I see~

12:07 * Shadowed chews on paper cardboard things.

12:08 <ConfusionRift> That's fine, those are repeats. :P

12:09 * Shadowed chews on all the land/mana cards.

12:09 * ConfusionRift was more interested in the other cards. :P

12:11 * Lumindia chews on Shadowed

12:11 <Lumindia> you taste like a friend ' w'

12:17 * ConfusionRift offers Shadowed some sticks to chew on.

12:17 <ConfusionRift> Actually, you can have these cards. They're fakes anyways.

12:20 * uni offers Shadowed some fake sticks to chew on.

12:42 <Golden> Oh hey that new yugioh game is out.

12:42 * Finwe noms on uni

12:43 <Finwe> uni: I indeed am.

12:45 <Lumindia> ay, I got today's wordle

12:45 <Lumindia> I'm getting good at these

12:55 * uni counternoms Finwe

12:55 <uni> it's okay I solved it!

13:20 <Schism> Lumindia, it's a fun one today!  Not like 'QUERY'.  :p  

13:26 <ConfusionRift> "Here's a championship race for ya. An Ariel Atom is for the grabs!" | Alright, let's goo-! | "Extreme Track Toys car only." | Oh... oh no.

13:26 <Schism> ouch.  I should play Forza more, but that stings.

13:27 <ConfusionRift> It's gonna be... it's gonna be a mess. (goes for it)

13:29 * ConfusionRift gets distracted as someone sends him a DB5. "I... okay, thank you!"

13:35 <ConfusionRift> Oh noooo! They're street races!!!

13:37 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, no, I give up.

13:41 * Schism giggles.

13:41 * Schism also yawwwn. "Ugh. I'm not that tired."

13:45 * ConfusionRift puts Schism in a Class S2 998 Pagani Huayra GT. "Just... floor it!" Sees as she floors it, passes an opponent... then crashes against a traffic car that NO ONE was gonna see coming.

13:45 <Schism> Oh yeah, they like to spawn in RIGHT in front of me.

13:45 <ConfusionRift> That's the whole race.

13:45 <ConfusionRift> It's so bad that even the CPU crashes.

13:45 <Schism> Question.  Why the hell would you even go about street racing in an S2?

13:46 <ConfusionRift> It's the requirement for the race.

13:46 <Schism> what

13:46 <ConfusionRift> It. Is. The requirement. For this race. I have to race in an extreme track toy, which ALL are S2.

13:47 <ConfusionRift> So... yeah. :P

13:47 * Schism just... just facepalms.

13:48 <ConfusionRift> Another fun fact: The CPU can run ahead far enough to avoid traffic spawn. So they remain unscathed and peaceful, till you get close enough for traffic to spawn right in front of them.

13:49 <Schism> Who designed that requirement?!

13:49 <ConfusionRift> Someone who thought I was that desperate for an Ariel Atom. :P

13:51 <ConfusionRift> I would rather race nice and slow for a Scirocco.

13:52 <ConfusionRift> I already have one. Oh well, gonna gift it I suppose.

13:54 <ConfusionRift> ...

13:55 <ConfusionRift> Why is the hatchback race a circuit and the S2 race a street race?

13:59 <Schism> https://twitter.com/CoastalWilliams/status/1483500834998550529?s=20 - oh this is familiar

14:01 *** Joins: somininin (mift@Pony-2mvbg6.pool.telefonica.de)

14:03 * ConfusionRift sighs at that.

14:04 <Schism> It feel that way sometimes.  :p

14:06 * ConfusionRift receives a text saying "Yo", he replies with a "s'up?", and receives a reply saying "Why are you mad at me?"... he looks at it several times, and replies with a "Eeerm... I'm not?"

14:16 <ConfusionRift> If you think you're missing context, you are not. It's exactly how it went.

14:16 <Schism> Oh, I believe it.

14:25 <ConfusionRift> Never really thought of it that way, but yeah, I agree. i thought that constant reassurance was more of a caution thing, but now it's basically the one thing most are looking for.

14:27 <Schism> There are points, too.  I attempted the other day to get a conversation back on track.  The... person on the other end of the line berated me, accusing me of screaming at her (while levying all manner of profanity and hatred), she made one of the nicest people on our team cry, and yet I was the one at fault for putting a bit of steel into my voice.

14:29 <Schism> And then she said that she was a customer service representative too and would never treat someone the way that I had treated her, and I'm internally like, "...I would never, ever want to be on your team."  Because you can bet your bottom nickel that she's been just as harsh and horrible to everyone in her life.

14:36 * ConfusionRift thought of something that happened the other day... and would rather just keep quiet.

14:37 <Schism> Oh, I wasn't at fault with my higher-ups.

14:39 * Cepheid awakens.

14:39 * Schism passes Cepheid some Dare maple leaf cookies and a mug of coffee.

14:40 <ConfusionRift> Because I have also learned that people are also opportunists. If they sense they can strike first and gut you with it, they will. So when you chop that opportunity from them either with a solid HALT or a REVERSE, you can just as quickly become the enemy of everyone. It's either staying solid and show them that was the only way, or just let everything drown on its own and hopefully wisps away.

14:40 * Cepheid noms.

14:46 <ConfusionRift> In any case, reason is what keeps things orderly and well enough that if things have to be a certain way, then so be it. Because just as they think they can win by being loud, one can also win by being calm and within reason. Unfortunately, that is slowly waning from me, and is getting to the point that others are slowly getting afraid that something might just happen.

14:47 <Schism> A gradually decreasing sense of moderation is not unreasonable in an untenable situation.

14:47 <Schism> In some folks, this manifests as anger -- in others, depression.  I know that I've developed a bit of a stutter in response to recent ... situations, which I never had beforehand.

14:47 <ConfusionRift> It's happened before, the "that guy is scaring me" thing. Which is funny, since there are others who would do much worse for less.

14:50 <ConfusionRift> I have fallen back on auto-pilot as of recent, especially since I have been closing solo for a couple of months now. My self talk thing is getting worse and louder...

14:50 <ConfusionRift> ANYWAYS! (continues racing for a bit)

14:51 <Schism> I've been there.  Talking to myself solely because there's nobody else around, so I can let my inner dialogue roam free, uncaged and wild.

14:51 * Schism hugs the Rifty.

14:53 <ConfusionRift> I normally keep it to myself, but seems who work around my area are aware of it. Which... kinda bothers me.
