00:00 * Schism nodnods, snugs the cute nightwind, snugs the cute Shadowed, snugs the cute Ali, and snugs the cute Cepheid.

00:00 <nightwind> oh i dont know who the cute nightwind is but you cant be talking about me

00:00 <nightwind> I am hot as hell and beautiful not cute :-D

00:00 <Schism> Then let us try this.

00:00 * Schism puts a pancake on nightwind's head.

00:01 * nightwind sighs "....brat"

00:01 <Schism> It is a thing.

00:01 * Tiffany giggles

00:01 * nightwind takes the pancake off her head and eats it

00:01 * nightwind stares into Schism's eyes and puts the pancake down to give her a kiss "have a good rest of the night at work"

00:02 <Schism> Sleep well, when you do...!

00:02 <nightwind> Sleep...i dont ever do that

00:02 * nightwind giggles

04:00 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.

04:01 * Ali nuu's and boops Finwe

04:01 * Finwe scrunchymuzzles.

04:01 * nightwind waves

04:01 * Finwe waves back and throws a snowball at Ali.

04:01 * Ali hides under the nightwind to get away from her tail being nommed

04:02 <Finwe> It has snowde quite a lot this night.

04:02 * nightwind softly pets Ali's mane

04:02 <Ali> Haven't had any major snowfalls here

04:03 <Finwe> I should also get some sleep, but well, staying awake until 6 a.m. seems to be the modus operandi here.

04:05 <Ali> Oh do I get to poke fun at you for being up late?

04:05 * Ali pushes Finwe to bed this time

04:06 * Ali also leans into nightwind pets

04:07 <Finwe> I've been working, though, not gaming. o3o

04:07 <Finwe> And now I'm waiting for my BSD system to update.

04:10 * Finwe also noms on the Airyx project.

07:33 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ConfusionRift

07:33 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

07:33 * Ali flumps into ConfusionRift

07:33 * ConfusionRift also floops by Ali.

07:34 * Ali found a holo Eevee card from probably Sandstorm, switched it out with her normal one in her binder, also found another reverse foil Espeon from the same set.

07:34 *** Quits: NitroTheFurryWerewolf (Nitro@Pony-l42sv5.mi.comcast.net) (Connection closed)

07:35 <Ali> Also found out my base set Charizard, along with my First Edition Venusaur are both shadowless versions

07:35 * ConfusionRift got another deck from his cousin. It's mostly from the original B&W set.

07:35 <ConfusionRift> Niiice.

07:36 <Ali> They're aren't mint that's for sure, but they're in pretty good condition otherwise

07:36 * Ali flailed engrish

07:37 <Ali> I stopped right at the BW sets came in

07:37 <Ali> Mostly cause of the stupid backstab by my pokemon league

07:38 <ConfusionRift> Most of the pokemon I have missing in the binder are from out of print cards. So I'm cool with it. Though, would be nice to find the original Snivy.

07:39 <ConfusionRift> It was also my return to the series.

07:39 *** Joins: NitroTheFurryWerewolf (Nitro@Pony-l42sv5.mi.comcast.net)

07:41 <Ali> BW Snivy?  That shouldn't be hard to find

07:41 *** Quits: NitroTheFurryWerewolf (Nitro@Pony-l42sv5.mi.comcast.net) (Connection closed)

07:41 <Ali> Also BW was when they screwed up the set order

07:41 <ConfusionRift> Yep!

07:41 <Ali> By doing them all by types instead of Rares/Uncommons/Commons by Alphabetical

07:42 <ConfusionRift> Noticed that as soon as I looked at the cards.

07:42 <Ali> Also did you know that Evolving Skies has over 70 Ultra Rares or worse

07:42 <Ali> Like, completing modern pokemon sets is pretty much impossible

07:42 <ConfusionRift> Not surprised everyone's after it, despite it being relatively new.

07:43 <Ali> After what?

07:43 * Ali confuzzleds

07:45 <ConfusionRift> Aside from XY Evolutions, people are kinda hunting for the Eevelutions and chases with Evolving Skies.

07:45 <ConfusionRift> Not necessarily valuable cards, but it's getting hard to find those packs.

07:46 <Ali> Like standard eeveelutions?

07:46 <Ali> Or the GX EX V VMAX versions?

07:47 <ConfusionRift> They're all V and VMAXs.

07:48 <ConfusionRift> And then there are the rainbow cards. Bleh.

07:49 <Ali> Yeah those are stupid

07:49 <Ali> I have 2 of the super rare Eeveelutions from Skies

07:50 <Ali> the freebie damaged Leafeon V, and the Glaceon VMAX

07:51 <Schism> Weird night.  Wordle 4/6.

07:51 * Ali grabs Schism and clings on

07:52 * Schism squeaks! And is Ali Drained.

07:52 <Ali> I just need Jolteon GX to complete the GX series non ultra rares

07:53 * Ali nuzzles on Schism and is sad unicorn

07:53 * Schism noms upon Ali's ears. "Cheer up? Tomorrow's Magic night."

07:53 <Ali> Eh that can always go one of two ways

07:53 * ConfusionRift has got not much interesting from Evolving Skies. Mostly binder fillers.

07:54 <Schism> ConfusionRift, and Ali: My Switch now looks just plain stupid.

07:54 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmmm?

07:54 <Ali> ConfusionRift, neither do I, that's when I went to just getting singles instead of trying to chase Vs

07:55 <Ali> There's what?  About 30 Vs in the set

07:55 <Ali> And I only care about 7.  Not a good chance

07:56 <ConfusionRift> Maybe Jolteon for me.

07:56 <Schism> ConfusionRift: Deze Joypads.  https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/890374373477851197/936530159652188161/unknown.png?width=518&height=474

07:56 <Ali> The problem with Jolteon V

07:56 <Schism> Joycons, if you prefer.

07:56 <Ali> Is that it has not one, but TWO available promos

07:57 <ConfusionRift> Oh, I forgot. I did get Volcarona V.

07:57 <ConfusionRift> Yep, the pack and the tin.

07:57 <Ali> So there's 3 copies of Jolteon V floating around

07:57 <Ali> So they're not really that rare

07:57 <ConfusionRift> Was thinking on getting one, but those are getting steep for what they are.

07:57 <Ali> Along with Flareon and Vaporeon V

07:57 <Ali> $60 for a 5-8 dollar card

07:58 <Ali> Not really worth

07:58 <Schism> 'Rifty: These were $35 USD for a twofer, so.

07:58 <Ali> And the packs will wiff harder

07:58 * ConfusionRift points at the packs. "And the chances of getting another Jolteon!" :P

07:58 <Schism> Zappybork!

07:58 <Ali> Unless you hit a rainbow or some expensively good card

07:58 <Ali> You're getting screwed

07:58 <Ali> Heck I got Chandalure V

07:58 <Ali> read that thing

07:59 <Ali> Price: Bookmark

07:59 <Schism> Zappybork.  https://twitter.com/accelldraws/status/1092139321602306054?lang=en

07:59 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Are those... really? I mean, they look cool... on their own. :P

07:59 <Schism> ConfusionRift, yeah, and they'll be fine when I'm playing NES games on the PC (I have a nice little 8BitDo), buuuuut...

08:00 * Ali still loves that comment about Fossil Kabutops

08:00 <ConfusionRift> Not sure it fairs well on the dock, huh.

08:00 <Schism> They gotta pair and charge somehow.

08:00 <Schism> They DO feel like the authentic deal (and I have legitimate NES controllers around to compare) when playing SMB2, so points to Nintendo.

08:00 * Ali still has their NES~

08:01 <Ali> And it still takes 20 minutes to get the games to work~

08:01 * Schism has regular grey and orange light guns! They do... not work on LCD TVs.

08:01 <ConfusionRift> Not saying it's dumb, just that it looks like it can barely be docked.

08:01 <Ali> What I'm annoyed with, is that all the megaman ports have weird input lags

08:01 <Schism> Nah, they, and the Switch, dock just fine.  Dock's not THAT big.

08:01 * ConfusionRift misses his Menacer.

08:02 <ConfusionRift> Also the Master System that fried.

08:02 <Schism> Wireless input weirdness, I'd guess, Ali...

08:02 <Ali> Like I can usually cycle Gemini Man without any problems

08:02 <Ali> But on both PC and DS

08:02 <Ali> I go to fire, I don't shoot, but the boss AI does like I did shoot

08:02 <Ali> And I get hit

08:02 <Schism> Damn your eyes, Ali.

08:02 * Ali headtilts

08:02 <Schism> Now I want to play the Castlevania collection.

08:03 *** Quits: Tiffany (izzy@Crystal.Pony.Tiffany) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

08:03 * Ali thinks Schism should do Civ 6 instead! *shot repeatedly*

08:03 * Schism will fail. She will fail miserably. And it's all Ali's fault.

08:03 <ConfusionRift> Ali, that has been my problem with most games since moving wireless controls. They all have inputs. The other issue with ports like that is that they're mostly emulated, inducing even more lag.

08:04 <Ali> Well I remember showing off one time

08:04 <Ali> Of doing Gemini Man at 4x speed and never getting hit

08:04 * ConfusionRift doesn't have that good a-skills. -_-

08:05 <Ali> Its mostly hand/eye cordination

08:05 <Ali> input lag will ruin that of course

08:05 * ConfusionRift trips on his own feet.

08:06 * ConfusionRift hits his neck against a table corner and dies. Game Over. Continue? >Yes - _No

08:07 <Ali> Wasted

08:07 <ConfusionRift> Schism: I wonder if there's a famicom like vinyl for the back of the console. :P

08:08 <Schism> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIES3ii-IOg > For ConfusionRift.

08:08 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about 孔明の罠 - Kaizo Trap

08:08 * Ali also stares at the weakass $13 more a week SSDI gives her. That doesn't help with the inflation you jerks.

08:09 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Have seen and played it. :P

08:09 <ConfusionRift> Still good.

08:09 <Schism> Still excellent.

08:11 * Ali also blehs at Arceus is now out and has to ponder how to pick up a copy

08:11 * ConfusionRift coughs.

08:12 <ConfusionRift> I most certainly do not have a copy.

08:14 <Ali> Well with all 24 hour places not being open 24 hours anymore

08:14 <Ali> There's no place to really just pick it up right as its released

08:15 <ConfusionRift> Item was active at 10pm, so I grabbed one... I mean, I stared at a copy.

08:17 * Ali boops ConfusionRift and Schism just cause

08:17 * ConfusionRift doesn't mind being booped. :P

08:19 <Ali> What's going to be annoying for me is the non chase eevelutions

08:19 <Ali> Cause its so hard to tell them all apart

08:25 <Ali> Damn, bitcoin be way down bro

08:26 <Schism> couldn't possibly be a bubble, heavens no

08:26 <ConfusionRift> Wait, the interweb coinage is going down?

08:26 <Ali> Down to 36k

08:26 <ConfusionRift> Ooouch.

08:26 <Schism> I'm not going to say it was SPARKED by FoldableHuman's incredible video, but he did a damned good writeup before the crash.

08:27 <Schism> About, amongst other things, how purely speculative assets are a fool's game, and a game which always involves finding bigger fools.

08:28 <Ali> I just find one thing dangerous about bitcoin that people don't know

08:28 <Schism> Is it 'There's an infinite supply of suckers'?

08:28 <Ali> Is that when will the majority people just mass dump the thing and make off with the billions leaving you with a dead worthless bitcoin.

08:28 <Schism> Er, a non-infinite*

08:28 <Schism> Yeeeeeep

08:28 * ConfusionRift smiles.

08:29 <Ali> I mean, if its starting to tank

08:29 <Schism> The speculative weight of the supposed currency -- which barely functions as a currency at all -- is tied to the idea that you're going to sell it for more than you got it.  

08:29 <Ali> When will all those people just pull out

08:29 <Ali> I just don't like the fact of this

08:29 <Ali> You put real money into a digital coin

08:29 <Ali> That at any given moment

08:30 <Ali> Can just got offline or be worthless

08:30 <Ali> There's no control, there's no stability, and is there a protection to your money if it goes under

08:30 <Schism> The 'offlining' of Bitcoin is unlikely, albeit more likely by the day as the big investors pull out.

08:30 <Ali> I mean, this is why all banks have that protection clause

08:31 <Schism> Ali: Well, remember, banks were forced to have that protection clause.

08:31 <Ali> Yes I know that

08:31 <ConfusionRift> What is this? That this ethereal currency that came out of nowhere with no value is somehow losing value and maybe people are realizing that its value might be controlled by its own self? Hmmm.

08:31 <Schism> Because this sort of thing HAPPENS, and then people realize "Oops, maybe we'd better put in some mango-fribbling REGULATION."

08:31 <Ali> Cause nothing stopped a bank from taking all your money and then declaring they're bankrupt

08:32 <Ali> Hey if bitcoin fails, maybe we can start getting our PC parts back for cheaper

08:32 <Schism> ... mango-fribbling.  I'd better not fribble too many mangoes.  Surry might come by again.

08:32 <Ali> Since people will quit buying them all up just to friggin farm for coins

08:32 <Schism> Oh, I do hope so.

08:32 <ConfusionRift> This is why there are still people investing in gold and silver.

08:32 <Schism> News flash, people.  You can't eat a gold coin.

08:32 <Schism> (well you can)

08:33 <Ali> Gold and Silver are things that have forever been kept in case of devaluing

08:33 <ConfusionRift> You can't eat invisible money either. :P

08:33 <Ali> Sure you can

08:33 <Ali> with your invisible food

08:33 <ConfusionRift> ...you've got a point there.

08:33 <Ali> But then again

08:33 <ConfusionRift> Forgot about my invisible fork and spoon.

08:33 <Ali> We've got people ON PURPOSELY living homeless cause reasons

08:34 <Schism> Ali: I have, and I swear to Eris this is utterly true, heard a 'buy gold, it's a stable currency' commercial immediately adjacent to a 'gold is worthless, sell your jewelry here' one on AM radio when in the car with my dad.

08:34 <Schism> Each commercial was voiced by the same actor.

08:35 <Ali> Of course they want you to sell your gold

08:35 <Ali> Cause its STABLE

08:35 <Ali> They want it so you can get your quick fix of cash

08:35 <ConfusionRift> Also, I hope bit farming dies soon. They're just scraping loose change that eventually will not be there anymore, just becoming a waste of power and money in the end.

08:35 <Ali> and then blow it on something that wasn't worth it

08:36 <Ali> ConfusionRift, I mentioned that too.  Cause they're just stealing all the PC parts to do that, which drives up the cost of computers

08:36 <Ali> I mean heck, I'm running on a 2005 core cause I can't afford to upgrade the PC due to the bullcrap prices

08:36 <ConfusionRift> Yep! (points at his 2070 Super) Got this at an OKAY price before it started picking up again.

08:36 <Ali> If this motherboard ever fries I'm gonna be SoL

08:37 <Ali> No no no ConfusionRift you misunderstand

08:37 <Ali> My computer's CPU is FROM 2005

08:37 <ConfusionRift> I know. o_0

08:37 <Ali> That's 17 years old

08:37 <Ali> My computer could graduate High School...

08:38 <ConfusionRift> Because those higher end Intel and AMD processors, on top of the RTX GPUs have gone up in price stupidly.

08:38 <Ali> And they're impossible to find

08:39 <Ali> But anyway I'm just barely chugging along on the being able to play anything line

08:43 * Ali curls into ConfusionRift and Schism hard

08:43 <ConfusionRift> Issue is you would have to upgrade just about everything, which even at MSRP is still really pricey.

08:44 * ConfusionRift lightly pats Ali motherboard. "Now now, you still have a few more years... I hope."

08:44 <Ali> Well the graphics card is a bit newer, but its still on the low end

08:48 * Schism digs into her box'o stuff. "Well, I"

08:48 <Schism> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572679354228670465/936542819873615892/unknown.png

08:48 <ConfusionRift> Huh.

08:48 * ConfusionRift digs out his Pokemon Yellow cart and bundled GBC. :P

08:52 <ConfusionRift> I don't have an NES, but I still have my original Genesis 1 that I had when I was a kid. (huggles it)

08:52 <Schism> None of the GBC's buttons work, which is a shame, but not entirely unexpected.  I'm sure there's someone in this podunk town who'd be able to fix it up, tho.

08:53 <ConfusionRift> Just have to replace the plastic padding is all... I think.

08:53 <Schism> It also has a car adaptor, which I find pleasing.

08:53 <Schism> Mmm.

08:53 <ConfusionRift> The controls have this plastic contact padding, which tends to wear out with time and use.

08:54 * Schism nodnods, "Standard contacts in this day and age. More time than use."

08:54 <ConfusionRift> Some sell refresh kits that have them.

08:55 <Schism> I'm likely to check the contacts in this area, see if anyone has the kits and the werewithal to do repairs on such a vintage console.

08:55 <Ali> I hate it that I can't find the OOPS all dungeons meme

08:55 <Schism> I have 7 Speech and 4 Charisma, I'm sure that if I edge the roll I'll be able to find someone.

08:56 <Ali> My GBC still works, as well as the GBASP

08:59 <Schism> (Brain: "You think you have 4 charisma?" Me: "I can walk into a building and convince security that I've lost my manager's badge within 25 seconds.")

09:00 <Ali> Task Failed Successfully

09:00 <Schism> 4 Charisma, in Shadowrun, is high.  Like, "You'd notice them if you were walking down the street" high.

09:01 * Ali sorries, is used to CHA 3 being utter trash and CHA 10 also being utter trash, blames Fallout 4

09:01 <Schism> I do mean it with my Speech skill, in Fallout terms I'd be about an 85.

09:02 <Ali> The Perks in the CHA tree are all useless, cept Sole Survivor

09:02 <Ali> That's pre 4 Schism

09:02 <Ali> 4 doesn't have skill points

09:02 * Schism harrumphs and just curls in a corner.

09:02 <Ali> And like I said, CHA is a pure dumpstat in 4

09:03 <Ali> If you give no craps about settlements, you don't need CHA

09:06 <ConfusionRift> Oh jeessss

09:06 * Golden flops.

09:07 <Finwe> Good forenoon, everypony.

09:07 <ConfusionRift> That wasn't even... whatever. (thuds)

09:07 * Finwe yawns at Ali and Golden.

09:07 <Golden> Evening Finwe

09:07 * Ali aywns at Finwe

09:08 * Finwe was awaken by a telephone salesman.

09:08 <Finwe> Twice.

09:08 <Finwe> At 9 and at 11. :/

09:09 <Schism> I live in an apartment building.  Air duct cleaning services call me every day at random hours.

09:09 <Ali> Hi would you like to give me all your money

09:13 <AppleDash> ee

09:14 <Finwe> "What kind of Internet connection do you have?" "Why are you asking?" "We might be able to offer you a cheaper one." "Ok, I pay €9.90 a month for 100 Mbit/s." "Rats. Do you need a new phone?" "No, I just bought a new one." "Alright, would you like to buy a tablet for €11 per month?" "Are you kidding me?" "No." "Ok, what kind of tablet?" 'Lenovo 10" with 32 GB storage and 2 GB of RAM." "Sorry, my

09:14 <Golden> Eeee

09:15 <Finwe> phone is a lot better than that." "We have better ones, which are more expensive, of course." "Look, thank you for your interest and have a nice day. And don't call me anymore."

09:15 <Ali> Now if that was america Finwe

09:15 <Ali> They'd call again two minutes later with a spoofed number

My dear sir... you seem to be one who is always on the move and in need of a device that can help YOU with your troubles!" | ...is it because I'm short? | "No, of course not!

09:33 * ConfusionRift sits back as he waits for the switch to update.

09:34 <ConfusionRift> Blaaaaarg.

09:35 * Ali blarghs with ConfusionRift

09:36 * ConfusionRift grabs his cane. "I remember the daaaays when consoles didn't need to update every time a wind passes, and all games came with everything included."

09:37 <Ali> And were mostly playable when you got them

09:38 <Finwe> Corsair messed up the their mouse firmware update about a year ago, and they only got it fixed with the next and latest update over half a year later.

09:42 * ConfusionRift points at Intel's very much permanent mistakes.

09:45 <ConfusionRift> "When you see 'Now saving...', the game will be auto-saving." | Wait... this has auto-save?!

09:49 <Ali> Also water is wet

09:50 <ConfusionRift> Water is wet, grass is green, and the sun is fake. Big whoop. :P

09:57 <Schism> I can march down to the Tim Hortons' just down the street...

09:57 <ConfusionRift> Oh right, my Sheikah Sla- I mean, cellphone.

09:57 * Schism kinda wants a 6-pack of donuts and some fresh muffins.

09:58 * Ali is gobed mare

09:58 * Schism hugs the Ali, and wraps her in vee fluff.

09:58 <Ali> Or flareon floof

09:58 <Ali> Cause that will be warm

09:58 <Schism> Well, Flareon is best eon.

09:59 <Ali> Looks wise, cute as heck

09:59 <Ali> sadly in the game they've dropped the ball on them

09:59 <Finwe> Ali: 6 a.m.?

09:59 <Ali> The Eeveelutions deserve better movepools :T  And stop taking moves away from them

09:59 <Ali> I'm GOING

10:00 <Schism> 5 AM.  We're on EST.

10:00 * Ali baps Finwe for the wrong time as well

10:00 <Schism> I wanna go to the Tim's and pick up muffins... and donuts...

10:00 <Ali> Daylight savings has been over for awhile :P

10:00 <Ali> And then when you get used to it

10:00 <Ali> We'll be back on it :T

10:00 * Ali HATES DST

10:02 <Finwe> :3

10:02 <Finwe> Two months of standard time left, then it's going to be back to summer time.

10:04 <Finwe> We were going to abolish oscillating between standard time and summer time, but COVID has now postponed the decision by two years.

10:04 <Schism> COVID is, of course, notorious for causing harsh symptoms amongst clocks.

10:08 <ConfusionRift> Why does this kid looks like he's looking at nothing... or something behind the professor. (looks around)

10:08 <Finwe> And, more importantly, amongst people who decide whether the clocks should jump one hour forward in the spring and one hour backward in the autumn or not.

10:22 <Schism> Ah farg.  I forgot to take my girlpills earlier.  No time like the present, I guess.

10:23 <Schism> (I'm on my period, skipping hormones is probably an incredibly bad idea.)

10:28 * Lumindia snugs on everyone

10:29 <Lumindia> ... wait, trans girls can get periods? How does that even work?

10:29 <Schism> Everyone thinks of the bleeding, and not the underlying hormonal causes.

10:29 <Lumindia> well as a male that's never had a period, yeah

10:30 <Schism> So basically we get the hormonal spike and so we get the cramps, the headaches, the nausea, the lack of sleep, the cravings, etc. etc.

10:30 <Schism> No uterus to shed the lining from, but everything else, yup.

10:31 <Lumindia> huh, interesting

10:32 <Lumindia> now I know o wo

10:32 * Lumindia gains knowledge

10:32 <Schism> It is.  And much like cis women, some of us get it better, some worse.  Some very very lucky girls don't get the majority of symptoms at all, both cis and trans.

10:34 <Lumindia> so some might only get some symptoms, some might get them miniorly, some might get hit like a truck, etc etc?

10:35 <Schism> Basically, yeah.  There's no one body, and of course it depends upon the hormone regimen too.

10:36 <Schism> Some women are also on a T-blocker which has effects on sodium and potassium levels, like spiro, which is a potassium-sparing diuretic.  This not only can but will effect a variety of side effects.

10:39 <Schism> The 'trans girls don't get periods' myth is also really harmful because ... um, how else are you going to explain some of this crap?

10:39 <Schism> ( https://twitter.com/MagsVisaggs/status/1483803882627252225 )

10:44 <Schism> So lots of us start taking HRT and then we panic when our first cycle comes about and some girls go on WebMD and deduce that they've come down with a terminal case of malignalitaloptereosis.

10:45 <Schism> Now, Lumindia, I want to share with you a dark and frightful secret.

10:45 <Finwe> Einhorn is a man?

10:45 <Finwe> Rosebud is actually a sled?

10:46 <Schism> <Freakazoid> No, no, even more horrible and dark than that!

10:46 <Schism> Lumindia: Men also have hormonal cycles.

10:49 <Schism> Turns out that the endocrine system is kinda cyclical.  Who'da thunk?

10:50 <Lumindia> I mean, I figured as much... they're just not as... pronounced...?

10:50 <Lumindia> is that the right word?

10:51 <Schism> One word for it.  T levels have their own thing.

10:52 <Schism> Androgens and androgenoids in general.

10:55 <Finwe> Ah.

10:55 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz; Mr Lumindia, Miss Schism.
