07:03 <Schism> Okay, was expecting a sour ale; I was not expecting a Kriek lambic.

07:06 * Ali noms Schism tails

07:06 * Schism tastes of sour cherries!

07:07 * Ali spits the tails out and blehs, nasty

07:08 * Schism notes that's how her beer is! Is sour and so cherry.

07:13 * Ali blehs more, unicorn doesn't touch beer!

07:13 * Ali sits on Schism instead

07:13 * Schism offers the Ali a Mtn. Dew?

07:15 * Ali yucks, too syrupy

07:16 * Schism sometimes mixes energy drinks with water on a 50/50 rate...

07:18 * Ali nods and snugs up hard with Schism

07:19 * Schism huggles the Ali in turn!

07:19 <PinkieShy> heater is having problems keeping up it seems..

07:19 <PinkieShy> Aux Heat just kicked in.

07:22 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

07:22 <Ali> And the internet kicked out too~

07:32 <Schism> FoldableHuman's latest video is absolutely sublime.  <3  The million and one issues with NFTs -- but more than that, with cryptocurrencies of all stripes.

07:33 <Ali> I don't trust money that doens't have a physical form

07:35 <Schism> Amongst other things, Olsen's video hammers home the point that the cryptobros currently pushing financial advice... have the most to gain from pushing bad financial advice.

07:35 <Ali> Thanks game for putting a city state right next to my nat wonder, fuck offs

07:35 <Ali> Buy crypto, its going to the MOON......till we intentionally tank it and make it worthless.

07:36 <Schism> mmmyup.  Bubbles burst.  That's their nature.

07:36 <Ali> And they're massively unstable

07:36 <Ali> Where in a weeks time it can either go up $1000 bucks, or drop $3000

07:37 <Schism> But hold onto it with those diamond hands of yours!  Don't worry, you're not going to be left holding a hot potato when the folks holding 50% of bitcoin all cash out at once.

07:38 <Schism> 15% drop in value on Friday!  

07:38 <Schism> And Etherium dropped 20%.

07:39 <Schism> $200 billion, hah...

07:52 * Ali curls into Schism as AI is dicking them over in 6

07:55 * Schism patpats. She should shave, then sleeb...

07:56 <Ali> Schism... I just found a camp

07:56 <Ali> 4 quadririmes and a spearman...

07:57 <Schism> Quadririmes are evil...

07:58 <Ali> It means you need to stay 1 tile away from the coast

07:59 <Ali> And what sucks is archers barely do anything to them

08:23 *** Joins: Shadowed (IceChat77@Pony-9gn4gl.ok.cox.net)

08:23 * Schism spinnies at Shadowed. And goes fleep.

08:24 * Shadowed gets into the cookie jar from the top cabinet. Nom nom.

08:24 <Shadowed> Fleep?

08:24 <Shadowed> Also spinnies are important.

08:24 <Schism> Fleeb.

08:24 * Schism nods. And curls up with Ali.

08:25 * Ali grumps as she lost the stupid science wonder AGAIN

08:25 * Ali curls up on Shadowed

08:25 * Shadowed chews on Ali's science.

08:27 <Shadowed> So what's going on around here?

08:28 <Ali> Not much

08:29 <Schism> Same, just girling about.  https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/930160478884331532/934685839072567296/unknown.png

08:31 * Shadowed jellies. Hasn't had enough energy to shave in a couple days.

08:31 * Schism hasn't shaved tonight... and she'll just get some sleep. She can shave in the morn.

08:34 * Shadowed 's been grinding in pokemans so she can get past the elite 4.

08:34 *** Joins: ConfusionRift (ConfusionRi@Pony-ksl.srt.98.172.IP)

08:34 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

08:35 * Schism also passes ConfusionRift some of this ridiculously sour cherry lambic.

08:35 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

08:36 * ConfusionRift looks at it. "Thankies... what is it?"

08:36 * Schism also also puts Rifty's note about how NPC drivers don't spawn around drivatars into "TheComputerIsACheatingBastard".

08:36 <Schism> Sour cherry ale.

08:36 <ConfusionRift> Aah. Hmm could be good. (drinks some)

08:36 <Schism> I know from sour, I used to eat Warheads like crazy, and this is pretty fierce stuff.

08:37 * ConfusionRift shrivels with how sour it is.

08:37 <ConfusionRift> Aaahaaaaaahwaaateeeeeer.

08:37 <ConfusionRift> Also, I told ya they were cheating. :P

08:40 <ConfusionRift> It also makes no sense, since the game renders a lot of the environment ahead of time.

08:43 * ConfusionRift also offers Schism a chicken and swiss cheese sammich.

08:46 * Schism also boops ConfusionRift and fast travels all over the place for a mere 200c each.

08:48 * ConfusionRift is still paying 3,800CR per port.

08:48 <Schism> Time to smash more boards.  :p

08:50 <DerpyBot> *derp*

08:54 * ConfusionRift derpaderps.

09:02 * ConfusionRift flopples, then boops Ali for no reason. :P

09:02 * Ali squeaks and hides under ConfusionRift

09:03 <ConfusionRift> o_0

09:03 <ConfusionRift> Is it raining?

09:07 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.

09:18 <Ali> It can't really rain well at 24F

09:18 * Ali boops ConfusionRift

09:19 <ConfusionRift> That's what they said was gonna happen during the night, but nope. Just... really cold.

09:19 * ConfusionRift didn't want it to rain anyways.

09:32 * ConfusionRift suddenly starts sneezing uncontrollably.

09:47 * ConfusionRift opens one of the packs, and gets a GX. "Huh, nice."

09:54 <ConfusionRift> And I swear Vikabolt is just Vic Viper.

10:24 *** Quits: Jackie_ (Jackie@Pony-vjh.omc.105.130.IP) (Connection closed)

10:38 <Ali> You know what I find annoying so far about the Eeveelutions GX

10:38 <Ali> Is that BOTH Eevee GX are Promos

10:38 <Ali> This also goes for Eevee V and Eevee VMAX

10:39 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, not happy about that either.

10:40 * ConfusionRift gives Ali an ol' Jungle set Eevee. Not exactly in great conditions, but it's Eevee. :P

10:40 * Ali boops with a first edition jungle Eevee

10:40 <ConfusionRift> Well now. :P

10:41 <ConfusionRift> It's nostalgic seeing these.

10:41 <Ali> And just how different a game it was back then

10:41 <Ali> I've been looking at, and not in paper cause its useless

10:41 <Ali> To see if I could make a busted Nido deck

10:42 <Ali> See the original Nidoqueen could do 100 damage for 2 energy, but needed 4 Nidokings on the bench to do it

10:42 <ConfusionRift> Blarg.

10:42 <Ali> So you'd be absuing Khangaskhan's drawing ability, along with the trader/breeder combo

10:43 <Ali> But Cause both trader and breeder are rares, I don't think I have 4 copies just floating around~

10:43 <Ali> Unlike probably Nidoking and Queen

10:46 <ConfusionRift> Okay, this Meowth is kinda cute, and the art- (looks at the moves) hold on... (checks online, then checks the card, then checks again) It's actually called Tail Whap... okay.

10:47 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, those support cards are actually not that common.

10:48 <Ali> Yet they're the best cards out there, but were Rares in base set

10:48 <Ali> While other rares, like Lass, were completely worthless cause they could just wiff completely

10:49 <ConfusionRift> And base set rares were painful. Draws back then were horrible.

10:49 <Ali> Depends on how you look at 'drawback'

10:49 <Ali> Professor Oak is probably considered the most busted trainer of base set, right up there with Bill

10:50 <ConfusionRift> People have it easy now. You always get a reverse, a rare, and an evolution. Not back then. The pulls were actually rare. :P

10:50 <Ali> Evolution?  Didn't know those were in the mix

10:50 <Ali> It used to be just like 10 commons, three uncommons, and a rare, plus an energy card

10:51 <Ali> Now that reverse foil thing could be a rare

10:51 <Ali> Or you just pull double commons~

10:51 <ConfusionRift> Yep.

10:51 <Ali> Nothing like pulling a Mom's Kindness

10:51 <Ali> Only to get one in the foil slot as well~

10:52 * ConfusionRift takes out like 15 Oddish.

10:52 <Ali> But you know, I'm surprsied they're going back to the LEGENDS type card, and then doubling down on it

10:52 <ConfusionRift> Yarp.

10:52 <Ali> It was bad enough trying to get two halfs of a card to play it

10:52 <Ali> But now 4?  What crazy train they on?

10:53 <ConfusionRift> The one that sounds like cash falling off the carriage. :P

10:53 <Ali> I made a deck back then with Legends, and they have one huge flaw

10:53 <Ali> That EVEN if you have both halves in your opening hand

10:53 <Ali> They DO NOT count as a basic pokemon

10:54 <Ali> So you could never start a game with a Legend

10:54 <Ali> But the bigger pain was getting the halves

10:55 <Ali> And I /think/ the halves followed the normal rules for card limits, so you could only have two pairs of the same Legend in the deck.

10:55 <ConfusionRift> Not very fond of those multi-card summons/draws.

10:55 <Ali> Well the Legends didn't last long if I remember right

10:55 <Ali> Maybe 4 sets at most

10:56 <ConfusionRift> With my luck, I would only have pieces, like halves of halves and just have my hand full of them.

10:56 <Ali> Looks like 4 sets total

10:56 <Ali> I had money back then, so I was able to get the halves

11:00 * ConfusionRift might have the cash... but nope. :P

18:54 * Schism sends her Mounties to establish national parks all around Ali's civ.

18:54 <Ali> Have fun trying to figure those out

18:55 <Ali> Also America gets buffed by having national parks around them :P

18:55 <Ali> But the requirements for them confuse me so bad, that I never seem to have more than 1 in my whole empire

18:55 <Schism> But they're Canadian national parks!

18:55 <Ali> So?

18:55 <Schism> Also, Mounties get to establish them without needing more faith.  :p

18:56 <Ali> Yeah yeah, and naturalists are faith expensive if not playing the faith game

18:56 <Ali> Also to add to the confusion

18:56 <Ali> They add preserves

18:56 <Ali> Which can increase tile appeal around them

18:56 <Schism> I imagine Bull Moose rather likes preserves.

18:57 <Ali> I think bull moose gains more buffs just from charming and breathtaking tiles

18:57 <Ali> While the originalish Teddy likes national parks

18:57 <Ali> I tend to end up in rainforest and floodplain infested areas so tile appeal is pretty much a no go.

18:58 <Ali> Though it was funny seeing a blank desert tile with 2 of everything

19:00 <Ali> But those new civs have some annoying conditions

19:01 <Ali> Nam needs every district built on woods/rainforest/marsh

19:01 <Ali> Gaul can't have any next to the city center

19:01 <Schism> Some interesting requirements at least...

19:01 <Ali> Portigul can be super good or bad

19:02 <Ali> Cause the AI tends to avoid costal cities

19:02 <Ali> At least that's what I seem to see when playing on Pangea

19:02 <Ali> Oh I did manage to kill off the quadririme swarm with archers

19:03 <Ali> Still had no idea who had the tech unlocked

19:04 <Ali> Cause usually barb camps can't spawn units that the players haven't researched yet

19:06 * Ali noms on Schism tails while poofing Lumindia into clown outfit.

19:07 * Schism now tastes of a sub sandwich.

19:07 <Ali> Better than sour cherries~

19:08 <Ali> Also Canada is an odd civ in 6

19:08 <Ali> Its not bad, but one of its perks can be completely useless

19:31 * Schism also now tastes of brownie cheesecake.

19:31 * Ali sits on Schism's holy site so they can't make any religious units.

21:33 <Shadowed> The rough skin may have taken out gyarados but it did it's job.

21:33 <Ali> Yay lets make the fight worse by allowing her to have the hidden ability

21:34 <Shadowed> That whole elite 4/champion battle was rough, even with comprable levels.

21:34 <Ali> Yes, they gave them competative teams

21:34 <Ali> I came in thinking it was going to be a steamroll on my first run thru of them

21:34 <Shadowed> But now I have the pokeradar and can begin banging my head against the chain failing /for some reason/.

21:35 <Ali> Almost got walled by Arron

21:35 <Ali> YUP

21:35 <Ali> I had a chain of Eevee's going

21:35 <Ali> And then the game was like NOPE, I'm out

21:43 <Shadowed> The advice I've seen is to capture all of the pokemon, cause apparently that has a higher chance of continuing the chain.

22:03 * Lumindia chews on Shadowed

22:03 * Shadowed wiggles.

22:04 * Lumindia gnaw gnaw

22:04 * Shadowed wiggles!
