15:36 * ConfusionRift leaves the car under the post, watches Schism be distracted by it, then slowly recovers his kinda chewed up Hot Wheels.
15:40 <Finwe> Schism: You must mean "Interesting Times".
15:41 <Schism> Well, that too, yes.
15:46 <Schism> ConfusionRift: I swear, some cars. Fishtailing and oversteering...
15:47 <Schism> I for one cannot stand RWD cars in the slightest, and yet supposedly they're very good...
15:49 * ConfusionRift has his fun with FR cars. :P
15:49 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, I getcha.
15:50 <Schism> FWD cars I'm fine with! Even if I fishtail on occasion. Of course, AWD is my bread-and-butter.
15:53 <ConfusionRift> RWD have oversteer issues, especially rear-engined. Better tires and/or adjusting the differential helps with the problem. The other problem is weight. So weight reduction does help with this problem as well, especially on older/larger cars.
15:53 * Schism noddles.
15:54 <Schism> If I start messing around with the tuning system, though, I feel like I'm never going to find my way out of that rabbit hole.
15:54 <Schism> I'm glad that the game does provide the option to tune things as much as you want, though.
15:55 <ConfusionRift> FWD have understeering issues at higher speeds. Most FF cars are lighter, so it's not very apparent stock, but a customized one will beg to differ.
15:55 * Schism nodnods.
15:55 <ConfusionRift> AWD are a mixed bag, depending on where the traction is.
15:56 <Schism> Oh, always.
15:57 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and remember that since AWD distribute power to all four wheels, they tend to choke at high speeds. Their launch is something else, of course. :P
15:57 <Schism> Yeah, that's also why I love offroads. :p
15:59 <ConfusionRift> I'm iffy with off-road races. You could use a stock car to make your life way easier... just make sure to use the right tires. Now, using a custom car is another ballpark entirely.
15:59 <ConfusionRift> At times, the game will pit you with a car that is tuned to your class, which is bad at times.
16:01 <ConfusionRift> So you could have cars that are around your class being slightly modified mixed with cars that are heavily tuned to match your class. THOSE suck.
16:01 <Schism> Oh yeah. @_@
16:02 <ConfusionRift> Or the game can give you a middle finger and abuse a loophole, like what happened with the Bel Air race.
16:04 <ConfusionRift> The game was looking to make sure that one could only participate using a Bel Air. No problem... except there are two Bel Airs. One is the stock on by Chevy, and the other was the Hoonigan one. I went in with the stock one, since I thought it was what they were asking for. All drivatars were driving the Hoonigan.
16:05 * Schism facepalms.
16:05 <Schism> Case like that, you can be forgiven for lowering the difficulty.
16:05 <ConfusionRift> Wiped them good though. :P
16:06 <ConfusionRift> I tuned the car to the same class restriction, so it was waaay faster than theirs.
16:06 <Schism> Nice. :p

16:08 * ConfusionRift just noticed that Schism is on the list, and grumps.
16:08 <Schism> Oh yeah, that's a smoke. :3
16:08 <Schism> Also, harrumph. I need to level up more.
16:09 <ConfusionRift> Pffft, I posted this around December.
16:09 <Schism> I know. I kinda overplayed and burned out.
16:09 <ConfusionRift> So that level isn't accurate anymore, for sure.
16:09 <ConfusionRift> Oooh.
16:10 <Schism> I do that all the time. Hyperfocus for a week followed by bleh.
16:10 <Schism> My 9-day vacation is going to be a fun thing.
16:10 <ConfusionRift> 9 days? Nice.
16:10 <Schism> Took a whole five days off.
16:11 <Schism> So, weekend, five paid days, weekend.
16:11 <Schism> With mandatory stat pay for Family day.
16:11 <Finwe> o3o
16:11 <Schism> That's in a few weeks, though.
16:13 <ConfusionRift> At least. My days off are all over the place, and have to fight for 3 days off, especially now.
16:15 <Schism> mrfl. And they'll say that the corporation cares about their employees...
16:15 * Schism hugs ConfusionRift.
16:15 <ConfusionRift> I think they should clear out some of management, and the team leads.
16:17 <Schism> Speaking of work...
16:17 * Schism groans. "So, yesterday was nice. Folks were introduced to the idea that I'm Jennifer, they basically just nodded and gave me a thumbs up, but..." She wails, "Where's my flabbergasted reactions?!"
16:18 <Schism> It's my own fault, I put a PFP like this out there and I guess folks reach the obvious conclusion. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FCg3D55WQAAu_5K?format=png&name=900x900
16:19 <Finwe> ConfusionRift: But the legislation on annual vacation guarantees everyone 12 consecutive days off.
16:19 <Finwe> At least here.
16:20 <Finwe> Erm, 12 days plus weekends.
16:20 <Schism> In my case, I have the vacation pay saved up, asked for it right after the shift bid, and it was rubber-stamped immediately.
16:20 <Finwe> So it's actually 16 consecutive days.
16:20 <ConfusionRift> Or maybe they understood that this is you, and whatever you decide to be is okay. (thumbs up) Or they were too tired to react. I really don't know. (shrugs)
16:22 <ConfusionRift> I can go the whole year without taking a vacation, and no one would care. It only becomes an issue when a higher up walks in to force a manager to give me a vacation.
16:23 <ConfusionRift> And by vacation, meaning days off according the hours of PTO and personal I have accumulated.

16:29 <ConfusionRift> And someone spoke too much about my hours, so now my schedule is twice are horrible.
16:30 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Sounds about right. :P
16:32 <ConfusionRift> But let me explain. DM and SM positions got removed. Instead, we got team leads. This didn't meant they got fired, but rather that they were forced to either back down to regular associate position, or fight for a team lead spot. Being a team lead sucks. You get all the cons of being a manager, without the pros.
16:33 <ConfusionRift> And you have a fixed schedule and work days, so no. Not applying any time soon.
16:34 <ConfusionRift> Hell, we got fixed times anyways, so it's all garbage no matter where you look.
16:34 <Schism> Oh, I know the position. When the grocery store at which I worked was on the steep downslope, any manglement position was instead reduced to team lead. One of those signs that the future was not as bright and lovely as they made out.
16:35 <Schism> And have I perhaps mentioned before that T2s get a lovely new set of responsibilities without the benefit of a pay raise?
16:36 <Schism> I don't mind it as such (except for escalations), but...
16:36 <Schism> Calling it a promotion is really just kinda pushing things.
16:38 <ConfusionRift> It's not a promotion, and everyone saw that, which is why team lead positions got filled by "teacher pets" and morons with a little too loud a mouth.
16:38 <ConfusionRift> Or people who would gladly break their bones for this company.
16:39 <Schism> The initial concept of 'Stockholm Syndrome' was disproven as junk science based on the fact that ACAB, but the idea nonetheless remains...

16:40 <ConfusionRift> Nice.

16:42 <ConfusionRift> No joke, I had to almost yell at one of them, because they wouldn't shut up about how they were getting in trouble about overtime and just kept working because "management wants this done".
16:44 <Schism> It's an unwinnable situation. Either you work overtime or you incur the risk of manglement because the project's not complete.
16:44 <Schism> Manglement's game is to get people to work unpaid overtime.
16:45 <ConfusionRift> You get shot either way. You could get fire/coached for overtime.
16:45 <Schism> I have a rant building up, but I'm not about to launch it here.
16:45 <ConfusionRift> Thing is, they can't. No matter how hard they try, they can't. I've already hung someone for even trying.
16:46 <Schism> Hmm?
16:46 <ConfusionRift> Trying to coax me to work outside work hours.
16:46 <Schism> Oh, trying to get people to do overtime unpaid. Yup.

17:10 <Schism> But it _is_ fun, so.
17:11 <ConfusionRift> 0_0
17:11 <ConfusionRift> How am I having an easier time controlling this beast with buttons?!
17:12 <Schism> We grew up with the D-Pad. :p
17:12 * Ali throws around the nes controlers
17:13 <ConfusionRift> You're right, this is too easy.
17:13 * Schism snugs the Ali. "My NES controllers are coming via Purolator tomorrow. They're more reliable than most."
17:14 <Ali> Nothing will be more reliable than the original grey brick controllers
17:15 * ConfusionRift changes controls to use the d-pad for steering.
17:15 <Ali> Though watch the cords though, they'll tangle up like nobody's business for no reason
17:17 <ConfusionRift> Okay, this is nostalgic. :P
17:19 * ConfusionRift decides to do a quick street race like that.
17:20 <Schism> Ali: Those grey brick D-pads are going to be fun when I play Mario 3 again. o3o
17:21 * Ali makes Schism play that one airship level from world 8.
17:21 <Ali> Without the Tanooki suit

17:21 <Ali> Or the normal leaf upgrade either, no tails
17:22 <Schism> Ali: I hitherto set an RTA record on one level of Super Mario 3 Challenge, so don't even. :p
17:22 * Ali fines and puts Schism on the worlds slowest airship
17:23 * Schism just clips through most of it and takes out the Koopa flying it in one hit.
17:23 * Ali puffycheeks and puts Schism into the glitchless catagory.

17:25 <ConfusionRift> Huzzah! Won a street race with analog controls! That was fun. (changes to default 1) Not doing that again. :P
17:26 <Schism> Gotta try it once. :p
17:26 <Schism> Oh, gorlpill time.
17:28 * Schism sighs at her pill, then grabs a knife.
17:28 <ConfusionRift> It's a whole other ballpark. You're trying to anticipate turns and light braking, which are just not happening.
17:28 <ConfusionRift> Urgh, playing with ABS off would be a nightmare.
17:29 <Schism> Imagine playing with manual gears.
17:29 <Ali> This is why I can't do NASCAR games anymore
17:30 <Ali> The assists have actually got so bad that they don't actually help you vs the AI
17:31 <ConfusionRift> If I remember correctly, they have been taming assists with the newer games, making them more... realistic, I suppose. It's not always fun that way.
17:31 <Schism> Honestly, the point of assists is to make it so that everyone can have fun playing. Why even tone them down?
17:32 <Schism> Maybe give 'em more sliders. Everyone loves sliders.
17:32 <Ali> No, everyone loves to either slow down 30MPH more thru a turn or smack the wall assists
17:32 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh. Yeah, that happens here too.
17:34 <Ali> Or lets make the car have 30000000 modable options that all affect how the car handles
17:34 * Schism ums.
17:34 <Ali> Like I don't want to have a degree in car design or be an actual crew chief to play the dang game
17:35 <Ali> Talking about the last nascar game I ever played
17:35 <Ali> They gave you the abilitiy to adjust just about anything and everything
17:37 <ConfusionRift> Hey look, the sliders have sliders in them!
17:38 <ConfusionRift> I know what you mean. At least here it's a bit more tamed, but I have seen how insane a racing game can get with options. From tire pressure, to engine intake compression.
17:38 <Ali> See I understand tire pressure
17:38 <Ali> And Wedge and trackbar
17:39 <Ali> but it goes into everything
17:39 <Ali> and nothing felt like it helped.
17:40 <ConfusionRift> You know what? Going on a search. :P
17:40 <Schism> Tire pressure, tire _weight_, tire density, tire chinchillas (they run to make the car go faster)...
17:42 <ConfusionRift> Tire chinchilla feed, dooheekey torsion, valvehopper compression, suspension sustainability, carburator carbotronium concentration...
17:42 <Schism> Can't forget the retroturboencabulator option.
17:44 * Schism sighs. "I should get a 15-minute nap... maybe 30."
17:44 * ConfusionRift decides to race to the mountain and do a quick jump before crashing.
17:46 <ConfusionRift> 15 miles, on a Golf.
17:55 <Schism> Hee.
17:56 * Schism sighs, and charges up her controller. :3
17:57 <Schism> Forza Horizon is good for that. Drive your car off the highest obstacle just to enjoy the scenery and watch what happens.
18:06 * ConfusionRift makes his way up the mountain, jumps the danger sign, makes his way down, and continues till reaching the beach by the sand dunes.
18:07 * Schism stares.
18:07 <Schism> That's gonna do a number on your shocks, of course.
18:07 <ConfusionRift> Just? :P
18:08 <Schism> Well, it's Forza, you can drive into the volcano and probably drive back out without more than cosmetic damage.
18:08 <ConfusionRift> Funny, because the lava during the expedition event is just re-textured water. :P
18:09 <Schism> I know. I tried driving into the lake for kicks, and it kicked me back out.
18:22 <ConfusionRift> ...
18:22 * ConfusionRift was gonna play for 30 minutes... not an hour.
18:23 <ConfusionRift> I finally feel that tiredness kicking in. Laters!

18:23 <Schism> sigh
18:23 <Schism> "Delayed in transit due to natural disaster" is a frustrating message to see on one's tracking information. On the other, Purolator did just provide, in seven words, more information than UPS or FedEx would ever give me.

19:08 * Ali flops over the Schism
19:17 * Schism shivers...
19:17 *** Pony_9334 is now known as Cepheid
19:18 * Schism hugs the Ali and also brings the Cepheid in so she can snuggle her.
19:18 * Cepheid just got back from biking. Is soaked in sweat, probably not snuggling material.
19:18 * Ali leans into hugs
19:18 <Schism> Myerp. Well, sweaty girl is still snuggly, but go, get a shower.
19:19 <Schism> Biking in Ottawa at -12, though.
19:19 <Cepheid> On an exercise bike.
19:19 <Cepheid> Not a real bike.
19:19 <Schism> Oh, much better then.
19:20 <Cepheid> 45 minutes. Would have gone longer, but the show I was watching ended earlier than expected.
19:20 <Schism> I may do more Ring Fit soon, but...
19:22 <Cepheid> The worst part about all these sources for management of stress/anxiety is that the first item is always the same.
19:23 <Cepheid> Identify sources of stress/anxiety. What if there are no sources and it's just a pervasive, persistent stress/anxiety feeling?
19:23 <Schism> "BUT THERE MUST BE A SOURCE" they keep telling you despite the fact that everyone is different.
19:25 <Cepheid> Well, it's possible there is a source, and I'm just not seeing it.
19:25 <Schism> maybe...
19:28 *** Joins: NitroTheFurry (Nitro@Pony-l42sv5.mi.comcast.net)
19:29 <Schism> Hoonigan Escort, well, don't mind if I do.
19:32 <Cepheid> Hmm?
19:33 <Schism> Hoonigan automotives in Forza are kind of broken as they stand.
19:33 <Cepheid> Ah.
19:34 <Schism> Just also got a lot of epics and legendaries because I've been gone for so long, including the best car in the game: the P50.
19:34 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:34 <Schism> </videogamedunkey>
19:35 <Schism> A Forza Edition Tankpool24, which is such a stupid thing to see that I'm going to have to use it at least once.
19:35 <Schism> Some decent stuff, I'm pretty sure some of these have never been actually _there_ outside of Hot Wheels.
19:36 <Schism> Yet another Viper ACR, I mean, honestly.
19:36 <Schism> 1957 Testa Rossa, <3.

19:45 * LibrarianofHope_ taxes schism
19:45 <LibrarianofHope_> Twenty percent to Ali Duties

20:21 <Schism> This GMC Jimmy is rather nice. :3
20:21 <Schism> It's pretty good for C-ranked dirt races.
