01:59 * Ali noms on Schism tails

02:00 * Schism has tails. They are nomworthy, she supposes -- though she tastes right now like beef with broccoli.

03:56 <Schism> "nominally an adult" "adult enough to invent quantum communication, not adult enough to see a therapist" "ouch" "I mean I say it with love"

04:06 * Ali flops over Schism and sighs

04:15 <ember> sighs. rhymes with size.

05:29 <Schism> 4/6 on the Wordle today.  o3o

05:29 * Schism hugs the Ali too.

05:30 * Ali is in a real bad mood, just feels awful mentally

05:33 * Schism passes Ali this? https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/s7vor5/whos_here/

05:34 <Ali> Kittuns

05:35 <Ali> And I have Luna screaming and stealing my nail clippers :T

05:35 <Schism> And then there is... THE PRONK!  https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/s7urzd/just_some_kids_in_their_pjs/

05:35 * Schism squeaks. And spraybottles Luna.

05:35 * Ali just curls up into Schism, is having a night of she doesn't belong anywhere

05:36 * Schism knows the feel... and curls up with the Ali. :<

05:38 <Ali> 14 so far has...been more harmful than I thought

05:39 <Ali> I'm used to only needing six or seven buttons on a hotbar

05:39 <Ali> 14 is...30 I keep hearing, and ALL of them are important

05:39 <Schism> Not... exactly.  I'll pull down my MNK hotbar as an example as it currently stands.

05:39 <Schism> (right after i take my gorlpill)

05:40 <Schism> MNK is also considered to be one of the larger hotbars.

05:41 <Schism> Or at least more complex.

05:43 <Schism> And bear in mind this really is about as complicated as it gets at the end.  https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/933597503415271514/933597514798608394/unknown.png

05:44 <Ali> Still too many

05:46 <Schism> It can feel that way, but it doesn't foist them all on you at once.

05:49 <Ali> Its the fact that you even need four hotbars is too much for me

05:49 <Ali> I came from WoW

05:49 <Ali> And that game, most classes only needed about half the hotbar, maybe a bit more

06:19 <PinkieShy> >_> That was not fun

06:20 <PinkieShy> I just had stomach pain from whiskey (Drank it straight in a shot glass)

06:20 <PinkieShy> Took tums and the pain is gone now but still..

06:20 <PinkieShy> Maybe next time i should just make a mix drink like mix with tea or soda

06:20 * PinkieShy also boops Ali

06:23 * Schism loses a game of mahjong... without getting dinged a single point. "Darnit."

07:46 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

07:46 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

07:47 * ConfusionRift arrives in a thick jacket that fluffs him about 5 times his size, rolls in, takes everything off, then sits. "Kinda chilly out there."

07:47 <Schism> Mildly.  Going to get down to -25 they say.

07:48 * Schism waves anyway, and offers the ConfusionRift a hot cup of marmite broth.

07:49 * ConfusionRift sips some with some bread. "Thankies!"

07:50 * Schism nodnods, and naps with her shork for a little while.

07:51 <ConfusionRift> In other news, there were cards at the store! Huzzah!

07:55 *** Joins: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-l42sv5.mi.comcast.net)

07:59 * Ali flops into the ConfusionRift

08:00 * ConfusionRift also flops, and pets Ali.

08:00 * Ali leans hard into the ConfusionRift pets

08:06 <Ali> ANd what kind of cards

08:06 * Ali forgets the ?

08:08 <ConfusionRift> Found some original Sword & Shield and Fusion Strike.

08:11 <ConfusionRift> Oh,, and a assorted booster. That one's not gonna have anything impressive for sure.

08:11 <Ali> I'm not really fond of the modern packs

08:11 <Ali> Way too many rares

08:12 <ConfusionRift> Unfortunately, that's all they have, aside from the boxes of Battle Styles.

08:12 <Ali> Yeah, its why I only buy singles unless I feel a stupid come on

08:13 <ConfusionRift> There's no XY stuff, ESPECIALLY Evolutions.

08:13 <Ali> Those Eeveelutions V and Vmax boxes were a pain to turn down, but their cost of $60 each made it a bit easier.

08:13 <ConfusionRift> The tins?

08:13 <ConfusionRift> Or the ETB?

08:16 <Finwe> Good mornig, my small ponies.

08:16 <Ali> It was a box, not the tins

08:16 <Ali> The tins only had the V

08:16 <Ali> This set has the V and the Vmax

08:16 <ConfusionRift> There were two blisters. One had Tepig, which I didn't mind. But then... (shows the Espeon promo).

08:16 <Ali> But only for Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon

08:16 <Ali> Yeah I got that and the Eevee promo

08:16 <Ali> Cards inside were pure junk and the V I got was terrible

08:17 <Finwe> Mlles Ali and Schism; Messrs AppleDash, Cepheid, Lumindia, NitroTheFurry, PinkieShy, and uni.

08:17 * Finwe doffs his hat.

08:17 <Ali> Not worth the $15 each

08:17 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.

08:17 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.

08:17 <Finwe> o7

08:17 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

08:19 <Ali> I did manage last week to get a Glaceon EX

08:20 <Ali> I feel like its going to be harder to find set Eeveelutions than the bigger ones, just cause they're not as easy to spot

08:20 * ConfusionRift nods.

08:20 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7

08:21 <ConfusionRift> People have been chasing them.

08:21 <Ali> But from XY on?

08:21 <Ali> I wouldn't think those would be in the buy me range

08:22 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

08:22 <Ali> I mean heck, the Umbreon V secret rare sold on me, but I don't just have $80 to fling at it in one day.

08:23 * Finwe noms on Ali's existing cards.

08:23 * Ali baps Finwe away from chewing on her expensive cards

08:25 <ConfusionRift> I really don't understand people and how they're changing this market. For a while, Evolving Skies was a pain to get. Then it slowed down. The same happened to Fusion Striker. XY cards aren't that expensive or rare in particular, but Evolutions though... I'm not paying $20 a pack.

08:26 <ConfusionRift> But I know why they're chasing Evolutions.

08:28 * ConfusionRift laughs.

08:28 <ConfusionRift> $12 for the dollar store pack. HAH!

08:31 <NitroTheFurry> O7

08:36 <Ali> Evolutions?

08:36 <Ali> Which set is that

08:36 <Ali> And why are they chasing it?  Cause of N?

08:36 <Ali> Or is it chonka chu?

08:37 <ConfusionRift> Nostalgia and (freak)ing Charizard.

08:37 * Ali headtilts

08:37 <Ali> Is Evolutions a reprint of base set?

08:37 <ConfusionRift> It's kind of a reprint of the base set.

08:37 <Ali> Why?  Base set wasn't that powerful by today's standards

08:38 <Ali> Even if they reworked Charizard, its probably no good

08:38 * Finwe noms on Ali's MTG cards instead.

08:39 * Ali gives Finwe useless common cards to nom on

08:39 <ConfusionRift> As I said, nostalgia and because Charizard. I think there was this delusion that it was gonna be of worth. Then again, if you take all the Charizards and resell them, that would be the case... like those stupid LeBron figure heads.

08:41 <ConfusionRift> As I said earlier, I really don't understand.

08:41 * Ali nods

08:47 * ConfusionRift decides to store the packs, except for the turd pack.

08:48 <ConfusionRift> I got some other stuff coming in, so would rather wait till then. Then go on a hiatus for a while.

08:49 <ConfusionRift> And my binder is getting stuffy, so I'm waiting on that too.

08:49 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-q511pb.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

08:54 <Ali> I have tons of cards

08:54 <Ali> With most of my stuff from EX Deoyx or whatever on up to HGSS

08:54 <Ali> The fun stuff was the Holon sets, cause they threw their normal typings out the window

08:55 <Ali> Flygon was Psychic~

08:56 <Ali> Was also when I made my Flycatty deck, was quite the fun one

08:56 <ConfusionRift> Was that the set with the @ types?

08:57 <Ali> They had the Holon symbol on them

08:58 <Ali> https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/85532/pokemon-dragon-frontiers-flygon-ex-delta-species?Language=English  They called it Delta Species.. DERP

08:59 <ConfusionRift> Delta, that's what I meant.

08:59 <Ali> https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/84744/pokemon-crystal-guardians-delcatty-ex?Language=English  I used this bad boy too

09:01 <Ali> Then used the colorless flygon ex

09:01 <Ali> https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/85531/pokemon-power-keepers-flygon-ex?xid=piced2482a-9813-43f3-ba8c-afc1f5b36f37&Language=English&page=1

09:02 <Ali> So colorless flygon ex, you send energy cards to the discard pile

09:02 <Ali> And then Delcatty EX upstreams for major damage and shuffles them back into your deck

09:05 <Ali> https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/83939/pokemon-unseen-forces-boost-energy?xid=pi0bb85f84-cbf4-491c-9c98-11cfa1fa8f95&Language=English&page=1  Also abused this card too

09:07 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe. :P

09:08 <ConfusionRift> ...okay? You can attach it to a basic pokemon, but can't use it and have to discard it.

09:09 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait... it can only be attached if it IS an evolution. Then why the error catch in the end?

09:14 <ConfusionRift> Wait... what's with these symbols on these energies?

09:15 <Ali> ConfusionRift, deevolution items

09:15 <Ali> But either way, boost energy was good for a SURPRISE 60 or 70 damage

09:16 <Ali> And it counts as an energy card in the discard if I remember right

09:17 <ConfusionRift> It should.

09:18 <Ali> Oh right, here's the card that sets it up

09:18 <Ali> a Delcatty with a pokepower

09:19 <Ali> Discard 1 energy from hand, in order to draw 3 cards

09:19 <Ali> That's where Delcatty ex's power comes into play

09:19 <Ali> Cause you load your hand with energy cards

09:20 <Ali> Ditch then with Delcatty to draw even more energy cards

09:20 <Ali> Then Delcatty EX to ditch all those cards back to the discard pile for set up for damage

09:21 * ConfusionRift decides to... just open the Fusion Strike boosters.

09:21 <ConfusionRift> MaYbE IlL gEt A mEw! !!

09:22 <Ali> You'll get a mew

09:22 <Ali> But its not the mew you're looking for

09:22 <ConfusionRift> "It's not the right color!" :P

09:22 <Ali> You'll get EMW V MAX

09:23 <ConfusionRift> That reminds me. I got this pack to prank my cousin just for the heck of it.

09:24 * ConfusionRift takes out an EX... and another one... and another one... and another one... and another one...

09:24 <Ali> Loaded it huh?

09:25 * ConfusionRift shows them to Ali. They all look... off, to say the least.

09:25 <Ali> So fakemons

09:25 <Ali> I mean, I remember seeing someone with a Grachomp Lvl X

09:26 <ConfusionRift> How about the Reshiram with 5000 HP?

09:26 <ConfusionRift> Or the foil Kangaskhan that had no foil? :P

09:27 <Ali> Yeah those are off :P

09:28 <ConfusionRift> Okay, before the orbital strike! I got these because I used to have fakes, which I kept as reference to check what were common mistakes. This pack in particular was obviously fakes, so it's useless.

09:29 <ConfusionRift> V, V Max, EX, GX, and other variants have a very particular foiling. These however, follow none of it.

09:29 * Ali nods

09:30 * Ali goes to bed though

13:01 <Lumindia> so I learned you can get a word with multiple of the same letter... that threw me off today's

13:01 * ConfusionRift still has no idea how this goes.

13:04 <Lumindia> wordle?

13:04 <ConfusionRift> Yap.

13:05 <Lumindia> you enter in a 5 letter word, and it tells you if you have a correct letter in the wrong space, a correct letter in the right space, or an incorrect letter

13:06 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/gjEBPQT.png

13:07 * ConfusionRift presses thing, and nothing works.

13:12 <ConfusionRift> Issue with Waterfox.

13:12 <ConfusionRift> It works in Firefox though.

13:16 <Lumindia> what even is waterfox?

13:16 * Lumindia visible... CONFUSION

13:16 <Lumindia> bada bah badah BAH

13:16 <Lumindia> *dances off-screen*

13:16 * Finwe solved today's Wordle on the fifth try.

13:17 <Finwe> In the difficult mode.

13:17 * ConfusionRift is an idiot, so this is slowly frying his head.

13:17 <Finwe> ConfusionRift: It's like Mastermind, but you have to enter dictionary words.

13:18 <Finwe> In the difficult mode you have to use the letters you've already ascertained to be present in the word.

13:19 <Finwe> My initial guess was "atone", with t and o correct but in wrong position.

13:20 <Finwe> So now I had to have t and o in my next guess.

13:20 <Finwe> In the easy mode you don't need to use the letters you've discovered so far.

13:21 * ConfusionRift is overclocking, just to get this right.

13:21 <Lumindia> *applies cooling to confusion*

13:22 <ConfusionRift> Oooh... I get it. (types it) Yaaay... (explodes)

13:23 <Lumindia> no exploding plz

13:24 <ConfusionRift> On the 5th as well, but that was cheating, since Finwe gave the one letter that was missing.

13:25 <Lumindia> they're pretty fun and a good way to kill a couple of minutes

13:25 <Lumindia> like, waiting in line at the grocery store? do a wordle

13:27 <ConfusionRift> Lumindia: Waterfox was supposed to be a better 64-bit Firefox based browser. Unfortunately, with time, it has become more broken and I think they starting to not bother working on it anymore.
