08:04 <Cepheid> Hey hey.
08:05 * Schism awaken. She snugs the ConfusionRift and the Cephy, then drains an iced tea Monster in one gulp.
08:06 * ConfusionRift snugs back.
08:08 <Schism> I'll beat Nightmoon next time in Mario Party. (We played MP7 earlier.)
08:09 * ConfusionRift is done with the Unown and the massive mass outbreaks... and still has one Pokemon left, darn it!

08:12 * Schism hugs the PinkieShy. "Fleep well."
08:12 <PinkieShy> My head hurts i am dizzy and possibly very tipsy..

08:13 <Schism> ConfusionRift, or I could go out and get some bibimbap instead. <.<
08:14 <Schism> Bibimbap which looks like this. https://andrewcoppolino.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Taste-of-Seoul-Bibimbap-640x427.jpg
08:15 <ConfusionRift> Oh, that's the actual name. :P
08:15 <Schism> There's so much stuff to eat around here.
08:17 <Schism> Like Elixir's salmon and scallops here. https://andrewcoppolino.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Salmon-dish-768x1024.jpg
08:17 * ConfusionRift looks around. Sees 3 pizza places, 4 burger joints, way too many taco places, 3 chicken places, and 3 Chinese restaurants... 2 of them being terrible.
08:19 * Schism patpats the ConfusionRift. "If you find yourself up here, should get you over to the Adventurers' Guild Cafe for a game of Catan, a beer and foods.
08:19 <Schism> Or a game of Surviving Mars, dunno if they have that one tho.
08:19 <Cepheid> Yeah, around here there's not much food-wise. Toronto and it's surroundings are great for restaurants.
08:19 <Schism> I mean, the city here is named KITCHENer, so.
08:20 <Schism> You'd think Ottawa would have a nice melange, though.
08:22 <Cepheid> Heavens no. That'd be sane.
08:22 <Cepheid> No, we just got a bunch of pizza parlors. Like, too many of them.
08:22 <Cepheid> I'm within 15 minutes walking distance of two different pizza places.
08:22 <Cepheid> And if I walk to one, I'm 15 minutes distance from *ANOTHER* pizza place.
08:23 <Schism> At least flatbread and toppings are tasty.
08:23 * Schism can throw a rock and hit three Subways.
08:24 * ConfusionRift changes the pizza place count from 3 to 5.
08:24 <Schism> Cepheid: I am annoyed because the Gamecube version of Ikaruga has no focus button.
08:24 <ConfusionRift> There's a Speedy's and Pizza Hut.
08:24 <Schism> Except I guess it didn't...
08:25 <Schism> Without a focus button, how am I supposed to get Dot Eater on level 2?
08:26 <Cepheid> Very carefully
08:26 * Schism har har har.
08:26 <ConfusionRift> Eeerm... that's how it was, so... yeah, very carefully. :P
08:27 <Schism> Level 2, as many know, is the one with the crushing blocks. Crushing blocks which one can _baaaaarely_ squeak by without perishing.
08:31 * Schism gets today's Dungleon in 6. Bleh.
08:31 * ConfusionRift gives Schism a few games; Chaos Field, Cyber Mars, ESP Ra De, Mushihimesama, DoDonPachi, and a few of the earlier Touhou installments. :P
08:32 * Schism sticks her tongue out. "Okay, okay, so a focus button isn't a THING until later games, but still."
08:32 <Schism> Also, throwing CAVE at me isn't fair.
08:32 <ConfusionRift> Hehehe.
08:33 * Schism slows down and highlights Erina's health bar while facing a pantsless menace sans hammer.
08:34 <Schism> Er, health bar? Hit box.
08:36 * ConfusionRift removes DoDonPachi, and replaces it with Progear.
08:36 <ConfusionRift> Even the field a little. :P
08:36 * Schism drawls, "Thaaaaanks."
08:37 * Schism throws the Leo fight in Zone of the Enders 2 at ConfusionRift, just outta spite.
08:37 <ConfusionRift> I was gonna put Deathsmiles, but since it's oh so controversial, I didn't. :P
08:37 * ConfusionRift hasn't played that game, but is more familiar with the soundtrack... especially that one.
08:38 <Schism> Deathsmiles... why is that one controversial, then?
08:40 <ConfusionRift> Possible underaged characters, character with sorta exposed chest, demonic symbols, some implications of curses and hexes, etc. etc. etc.
08:40 <ConfusionRift> It's stupid.
08:41 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, major religious and satanic symbolism.
08:41 <ConfusionRift> I honestly could not care less of it. It was a rather good shmup.
08:41 <Schism> Okay, the underaged character I might be concerned about, but foul and wicked magiks and occult symbols? This isn't the '90s, and we're not Nintendo of America.
08:42 * ConfusionRift whispers. "They're releasing it on the switch."
08:42 <Schism> Hmmm... nah, I'll get it for $7 CAD on Steam.
08:43 <ConfusionRift> That too. Hell, I got it on Steam.
08:43 <ConfusionRift> Same for DoDonPachi and Mushihimesama.
08:43 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and eXceed.
08:43 <Schism> eXceed I have yet to play.
08:44 <ConfusionRift> Same. It's just... I know it's gonna be a hard one.
08:44 <ConfusionRift> If I'm having troubles with Devil Engine, all those games are gonna be rough.
08:45 <Schism> CAD $28 for Dodonpachi, Mushihimesama (and 1.5), and Deathsmiles.
08:45 <ConfusionRift> There as a special for shmups, so I got those at a fraction.
08:45 * Schism taps her chin indecisively.
08:46 <ConfusionRift> *was
08:46 <ConfusionRift> Same for Dariusburst Chronicle... which is still expensive.
08:47 * ConfusionRift sees it on special for $15.
08:53 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, Cotton 100% is back.
08:55 <ConfusionRift> Oh... yeah... $45 for a shmup is a bit steep, especially a remake of an older game.
08:56 <Schism> A tad, yes.
09:10 <Cepheid> Hum.
09:10 <Cepheid> All of these messages are telling me to turn back and use the portal.
09:10 <Cepheid> I think I'll continue on for the sake of knowing. I have 76 runes, so death won't be an issue.
09:10 <Schism> Yeah, if you're empty on runes, exploration is the Thing to Do.
09:11 <Schism> Plus, I'm sure that it's perfectly safe.
09:11 <Cepheid> ... Far as I can tell it was.
09:11 <Cepheid> I made it up to the gate without any aggression from the castle.
09:11 <Cepheid> Can't get IN this way, but yeah.
09:11 <Schism> And now to turn back and check the portal for kicks. o3o
09:12 <Cepheid> Which leaves me wondering why there are bloodstains here, if there are no enemies.
09:12 <Schism> Something you do inside the castle later causes them to spawn, I guess.
09:20 <Cepheid> The castle is... non-aggressive.
09:20 <Cepheid> Because there's a "festival" going on, that anyone can partake in. It involves killing the big bad of the castle.
09:20 <Schism> Ahh. World event, makes sense.
09:21 <Cepheid> Not a world event.
09:21 <Cepheid> Just the way it's described is all.
09:21 <Schism> Hmmm.
09:21 <Cepheid> Let's see how out of my league this guy is.
09:22 <Cepheid> He took me down in two shots from long-range.
09:23 <Schism> So, pretty far out of your league unless you master the sneaky-sneak.
09:25 <Cepheid> I managed to get him down to half health on my own, but yeah. You need to be fast to get to get to barriers that block the shots.
09:25 <Cepheid> And close that distance ASAP.
09:28 <Cepheid> I need to learn how to dodge attacks that home in on me.

09:29 * ConfusionRift watches someone play TBoI, and get s a bit tired of them complaining of the bad damage numbers he has. Sees him contemplating on getting an item that WILL kill the run completely if he takes too much damage. He knows this, he understands this... he picks it up. "If the run dies, it's all on you. Idiot."
09:30 <Schism> Glad I spent all day yesterday on a sort of date with Nightwind, because if I'd been on social media I would have been biting through wood planks.

09:31 <ConfusionRift> It's why I stopped using social media again. There's nothing there.
09:31 <Cepheid> I tailor my social media to avoid controversy. It's worked for me so far.
09:31 <Schism> Oh, were I following the news in general I'd still be raging.
09:32 <ConfusionRift> I tried that, by having just specific people on dash... but they're also discussing the same thing, so... it's Facebook all over again.
09:33 <Schism> I unfortunately do have to follow current events, lest it turn out that someone somehow makes my existence illegal.
09:34 <ConfusionRift> ...
09:34 <Schism> But anyway.
09:34 * Schism shakes her head and looks at Mario Party, considering what to play.
09:35 <ConfusionRift> [Uses SKIP card.] Got that one bastard to capture still. This is annoying now.
09:35 <Schism> Which one are you missing?
09:35 <Cepheid> I think it helps that I can't understand 90% of my Twitter timeline because it's almost all Japanese.
09:36 <ConfusionRift> Cranidos.
09:36 <Schism> Oh, that one.
09:36 * Schism dangles a Skull Fossil next to ConfusionRift. Except it won't help, because Jurassic Park technology didn't exist in the Meiji era.
09:37 * ConfusionRift noms on the fossil.
09:37 <Schism> Sorry, the early Edo period, I mean.
09:39 <ConfusionRift> Hah! He died. Too bad, so sad, ripparooni in pepperoni.
09:39 <Schism> That feeling when I remember that in at least one universe, Lex Luthor started his campaign of unending hatred against Superman because Superboy accidentally made him bald.
09:40 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, space distortions only show up when I don't want them. And when they do, it's always the same ragtag of Pokefools.
09:41 * Schism yees.
09:43 * ConfusionRift wonders if there's a chance for Cranidos to show in massive outbreaks.
09:50 <ConfusionRift> I wish there was an item that would increase the chances for a distortion.
09:56 * ConfusionRift sees a Stantler trying to bap him. He just walks away. As he walks away, he sees Stantler lifting his front legs, and keeping them up. Then runs off on two. "Was that... is that a Zorua or something?"
09:57 * Schism blinks. "A very well-crafted game, is Arceus Legends." She watches an Eevee clip into a tree all on its own.
09:58 <ConfusionRift> The game still has problem rendering alpha Electivire. So, when I summon it, there's no sound or render. It only renders once the camera pans back to the trainer.
10:00 <ConfusionRift> Also, hiding the map barriers with draw distance fog is dumb.
10:17 <ConfusionRift> Well, mass poke genocide it is.
10:18 <Schism> They're in a space/time rift, they're doomed anyway.
10:22 <ConfusionRift> "They're getting spaghetti'ed anyways." | Yeah... wait- huh?!
10:33 <ConfusionRift> Oh... apparently, battling and resting are the worst things I can do, because they pause the game timer.
10:34 <Schism> ... oh.
10:35 * ConfusionRift puts Garchomp down, lets them rest up, and sits by them as they wait.
10:36 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/iwasi_R/status/1498969552390332420 Always make sure you see your landing spot.
10:36 <ConfusionRift> Hole in one!
10:36 <Schism> Thaaaaat'll do it.
10:37 <Cepheid> I like the rats. They look so unconcerned.
10:40 * ConfusionRift goes to the mountain peak entrance to wait there, just to hear that good music in the meantime.
10:53 <ConfusionRift> Huh, thought Froslass didn"t rest.
10:55 <ConfusionRift> Still no distortion. Might rest to reset the timer.
10:59 <Schism> hmmm. Want to wrap some couscous, spinach and chicken in a tortilla with dressing and a few other veggies. That's a burrito, right?
11:01 *** Quits: ChaosMageX-HTPC (CMXHTPC@Pony-nc32n2.tx.comcast.net) (Connection closed)
11:02 <ConfusionRift> That's a wrap. :P
11:03 <ConfusionRift> Then again, that's basically what a burrito is. Hmmmmm.
11:03 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #2581 [ https://tinyurl.com/y9zfaspd ]
11:03 <AppleDash> I think what differentiates a burrito is that it includes beans
11:03 <Schism> But I've made burritos without any beans at all!
11:04 <ConfusionRift> Actually, I think it's more the case of having some sort of meat.
11:05 <AppleDash> Then what differentiates a burrito from a shawarma?
11:06 * Schism looks at the local pizza places, which offer shawarma pizzas.
11:06 <Schism> Of course, if we get into essentialist definitions, we're going to wind up in Diogenes territory soon.
11:07 <ConfusionRift> I really don't know. Many cultures have a dish that many have their own version of. :P
11:07 <Schism> "We can't stop here. This is [flying mammal with leathery wings] territory."
11:08 <ConfusionRift> Because some call shawarmas just wraps.
11:08 <Schism> country*
11:08 <Schism> And yea...
11:08 <Schism> And, AND... I'm pretty sure that the burrito place downtown offers a shawarma burrito.
11:08 <ConfusionRift> "Because you wrap the thing with the thing." | Then calzones are wraps? | (stares angrily) | What?!
11:09 <Schism> I KNOW for an absolute fact that some places in town will happily serve a shawarma calzone.
11:10 <Schism> Which is a linguistic abomination I never thought I'd seriously type, but it's a weird morning.

11:13 <Lumindia> Good morning everyone~!
11:13 * Lumindia snugs on all the friend pones
11:15 *** Joins: ChaosMageX-HTPC (CMXHTPC@Pony-nc32n2.tx.comcast.net)
11:16 <ConfusionRift> Hallo fren! :P
11:16 <Schism> Harlo, fren Lumin.
11:17 * Schism is not a pone, though, and thus is not snugged. (She is a fox.)
11:22 * Lumindia snugs on frens as well
11:22 <Lumindia> ' w'
11:22 <Lumindia> and thus Schism does get snugs
11:23 * Schism yays at snugs, and provides Lumindia with tails wrapped around.
11:37 <Cepheid> That's the second time I've seen this boss get bugged.
11:40 <Schism> Castle boss?
11:40 <Cepheid> Nah, another one.
11:40 <Cepheid> First time I fought it, it was bugged. This time, a new player was hunting it for the first time, it was bugged then as well.
11:41 <Schism> huh.
11:41 <Cepheid> It leaves the boss permanently invulnerable and impossible to kill.
11:41 <Schism> So even outside the issues on PC (which at least one person has blamed on shaders taking a while to propagate), it's ... not been very well tested.
11:42 <Cepheid> It is the shaders on PC.
11:42 <Schism> Makes sense.
11:43 <Cepheid> What's happening is that when new stuff appears for the first time, shaders are being compiled for rendering them, be it particle effects or just plain simple models.
11:43 <Cepheid> And that's what's causing the hitching that people are seeing.
11:44 <Cepheid> This does mean it'll eventually go away over time, as the compiled shaders are saved to a cache, and are loaded from there instead of recompiling again.
11:44 * Schism nods, "And it goes away after a bit of playtime because most assets have been loaded at that point."
11:45 * Lumindia snugs into the tails
11:45 <Lumindia> soft
11:45 <Cepheid> There is still a slowdown associated with loading new areas though. That isn't shaders, that's something else. Just bad optimization there, I think.
11:45 * Schism issa soft foxxo.
11:45 <Schism> Until these enterprising players then change their rendering settings to try and make the issue go away, at which point the shaders all have to recompile...
11:45 <Cepheid> Or they update their video drivers.
11:45 <Schism> Ah, yes. And since nVidia seems to be updating on a weekly basis...
11:45 <Cepheid> The alternative solution is to compile all the shaders before the game starts, but that takes friggen forever.
11:46 <Cepheid> As you've seen with Horizon Zero Dawn
11:47 <Cepheid> There's an alternative solution but it requires intervention from Valve.
11:49 <Cepheid> Basically, compile all the shaders for the different common driver versions out there, stuff the cache into a database, and simply have the players download the cache for their video card and driver version along with the game.
11:50 <Cepheid> Otherwise, the only solution is to precompile everything before the game starts.
11:50 <Cepheid> Which can take minutes to do.
11:50 <Schism> WAY too many permutations to be viable, too.
11:51 <Cepheid> Yep.
11:51 <Cepheid> I think it only works with Vulkan/OpenGL too, not Direct3D.
11:51 <Cepheid> Because that's what's done for running games over Proton. The shaders are cached, uploaded to a server, and then downloaded by people playing using Proton and DXVK under Linux.
11:55 <Cepheid> It's also why the problem doesn't exist on consoles. Because the hardware is static, you can legitimately just precompile everything, stuff it into the cache, and distribute the cache with the game.
11:55 * Schism nodnods. "Of course. I imagine for the Steam Deck it's no problem, too."
11:57 <Cepheid> Pretty much, especially since that's using Proton + DXVK. It's technically a portable Linux machine, so Windows games need Proton + DXVK to work right.
11:57 <Cepheid> If they even work at all.
11:57 <Schism> Small surprise that there are a lot of unsupported titles.
11:58 <Schism> Everyone was like, "Elden Ring, fully supported? Really?"
11:59 <Cepheid> Proton + DXVK have been getting very good at running Windows games.
11:59 * Schism nodnods.
11:59 <Cepheid> So it's not that big of a surprise. The outliers are the ones who are using the APIs incorrectly, or are expecting certain bugs in the APIs.

12:04 <Cepheid> I do not recommend this game on the PS4 or PS4 Pro. Good gods, the fan on the console.
12:05 <Schism> Randomly, Squeenix are in talks with Microsoft to bring FFXIV to the XBox series.
12:05 <Cepheid> No reason they shouldn't be able to.
12:07 <Lumindia> The critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Online that has a free trial that etc etc etc
12:09 <Cepheid> Message: "No enemy ahead." *Looks at bridge. There's a dragon on it.*
12:12 <Schism> Those fun times: When I use the phrase 'denatured pineapple' and people look at me like I've sprouted a second head.
12:13 <Schism> "Pineapples are not a biological weapon!" "They... kinda are."
12:16 <Schism> Cepheid: Really, why in the heavens do you even _read_ soapstone messages?
12:16 <Cepheid> Because they're sometimes useful.
12:16 <Cepheid> Like the ones indicating to be wary in a given direction, 'cause usually that means an enemy hiding around a corner.
12:17 <Schism> Sometimes, I guess. But just as often they're just leading you up the garden path.

17:35 <Nightwind> hi hi
17:38 * Ali flops over Nightwind
17:39 * Nightwind hugs the cute unicorn
17:39 * Ali isn't cute though
17:39 * Nightwind isnt arguing that this morning, ali is cute and thats final
17:40 * Ali looks at clock, its afternoon, thus she can argue it! :P
17:40 <Nightwind> oh shoot i forgot to plug in my watch last night
17:41 * Ali uses a watch that is old fashioned, it runs on battery power
17:41 <Nightwind> I blame a fox girl for distracting me with movies anime and video games
17:41 * Ali is jelly cause unicorn doesn't have that
17:42 <Nightwind> i just received an apple watch the other day ali
17:42 <Ali> Boo
17:42 <Nightwind> it was free
17:43 <Nightwind> husband bought it 2 years ago for his sister and we never sent it
17:43 <Nightwind> so i asked him the other day if i could just have it
17:44 * Ali nods
17:45 <Nightwind> he is also attempting to aquire a steam deck for me for my birthday so thats cool as hell
17:45 <Nightwind> since a new graphics card just aint happening
17:46 * Ali tends to not get much of anything on bdays anymore, nothing the unicorn wants and everything is too expensive..
17:46 <Nightwind> i dont like gifts but i have learned i have to accept them from husbando and its probably smart if i accept them from my girlfriends
17:48 <Nightwind> like schism bought me a year of nintendo switch online last week and i realized I have no choice but to accept it
17:48 <Nightwind> and Doxia is sending me a box of snacks which i have to accept
17:49 <Nightwind> that said australian snacks might be yummers
17:49 *** Joins: somininin (mift@Pony-rrodup.pool.telefonica.de)
17:50 <Nightwind> also if schism comes in and wonders who Doxia is. you know her I am just using her DnD name in here just like husbando is husband or blazing
17:51 * Ali doesn't, never heard of that name
17:53 <Nightwind> naw i have never mentioned her in here before
17:55 <Nightwind> she is one of my girls Ali
17:57 <Nightwind> and the Cat brings me coffee once in a while which I have also learned to accept
17:57 <Nightwind> because she gets grumpy if i dont LOL

18:02 <Nightwind> jelly of what
18:05 <Ali> Eon dun't get showered wiff gifts. But its probably for the best
18:06 <Nightwind> i dont get showered in gifts but i have learned that its pointless to fight getting them from my partners or my mother
18:06 <Nightwind> cuz they are being given to me whether i want them or not
18:09 <Nightwind> :-( 3 of my DnD characters are no completely unplayable
18:11 <Nightwind> this is why dating one of the 2 DMs is probably a bad idea, 2 of my characters have ascended to godhood and one is now queen

22:33 <Librarian> my grandfather made canvas painting by projecting an image, wanna do that

23:04 <Schism> It's a big burrito. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/889610689382068284/948713848322539580/unknown.png
23:08 <Finwe> Shouldn't it be a burro gigante instead of a burrito then?
23:09 <Shadowed> Garguantua?
23:10 <Schism> It's still a burrito. o3o In that it's not _quite_ as big as an actual burro.

23:12 <Finwe> How humane of China.
23:13 <Schism> There's no question that the IOCCC, if they had foreknowledge, would do the same.
23:14 <Schism> Using 'olympics' and 'ethical' in the same sentence just doesn't work, unless there's a very big NOT in there too.
23:14 <Finwe> International Obfuscate C Code Contest?
23:14 <Schism> Wait, wrong one.
23:14 <Schism> The IOC, not the IOCCC.
23:14 * Schism isn't sure why she thought IOCCC. Though she loves the contest.
23:15 <Finwe> International Olympic Committee is indeed abbreviated with only one C.
23:15 <Finwe> Also, "Obfuscated".
23:17 <Finwe> One of my favourites is still https://users.aalto.fi/~vhalkola/pi.c

23:58 <Finwe> “The Opera House was, indeed, that most efficiently multifunctional of building designs. It was a cube. But, as Granny had pointed out, the architect had suddenly realized late in the day that there ought to be some sort of decoration, and had shoved it on hurriedly, in a riot of friezes, pillars, corybants, and curly bits. Gargoyles had colonized the higher reaches. The effect, seen from the
23:58 <Finwe> front, was of a huge wall of tortured stone.”
23:58 <Finwe> “Round the back, of course, there was the usual drab mess of windows, pipes and damp stone walls. One of the rules of a certain type of public architecture is that it only happens at the front.”
