05:21 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

05:28 * Schism rolls into ConfusionRift. She's got a second story to her house, as well as a museum, and a shop.

05:28 * ConfusionRift headtilts.

05:29 <Schism> Turns out that the crossing of animals is alright.

05:29 <ConfusionRift> Oh, I suspected,, but wasn't sure.

05:29 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz, Mr Cyan_Spark.

05:29 <Finwe> o7

05:29 <Schism> Two days in, and I'm already going alright as such things are concerned.

05:29 * Finwe hugs an Ali.

05:29 * Schism doffs her fishcakes.

05:30 * Ali flumps over the ConfusionRift

05:30 <ConfusionRift> Got the three rooms, barely the second floor, the shop, the museum, max villagers, and K.K. Slider already visited. So technically, I'm done... but not quite.

05:30 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

05:31 * ConfusionRift then huggles Ali.

05:31 <Finwe> We were interviewed for the French television last weekend during the military exercise. o3o

05:31 <Schism> Well... maybe not second floor yet.

05:32 <Finwe> And we spent the night betwixt Saturday and Sunday in a trench.

05:32 <ConfusionRift> It's a nice time burner. Alas, some things take a long time to do or get. And others are seasonal.

05:33 <ConfusionRift> Finwe: Blaaarg.

05:33 * Ali blarghs at ConfusionRift, unicorn really wants to find out where her entire delta species rares went

05:33 <Finwe> It's surprising how well you can sleep on bare ground with just a camping mattress and a sleeping bag.

05:35 <ConfusionRift> Some find comfort very easily, others... not so much.

05:36 * ConfusionRift hides a munched on box with some stuff from Ali.

05:36 <Ali> Doubt it, I didn't put anything in muncied boxes

05:47 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7

05:47 <ConfusionRift> Of course! Why would there be cards in a box that I somehow decided to munch on? 0_0;

05:53 <Schism> Now, question is, tonight...

05:54 <Schism> Am I going to have a dream about a zombie apocalypse again?

05:54 <Schism> The last three nights have had that.  Though I was rather enjoying that moment where zombies were sliding around on black ice and unable to bite anyone.

05:55 * Finwe permanently zombifies Schism's dreams.

05:55 <Schism> At one point in my dream, my sister and I just set up deck chairs and smiled at the funtimes.

05:55 <ConfusionRift> Uuurgh... uuuurgh... uuurgh-oohwoohoooaAAH! (slips) My back! Aaah. Eeeecchhh...oh... ...uuuurgh.

05:56 <Schism> Progesterone does _really_ weird things to dreams.  :3  But it's typically not so bad.

05:58 <Schism> As strange and unusual as this sounds, it's actually a thing.  https://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=february-26-2021

06:00 <ConfusionRift> Guh! (bumps his head as a song from the past comes out, but can't remember who played it) This will forever bother me, and sadden me. It's a really nice cover.

06:01 <Schism> https://videogame-heardle.glitch.me/ - Here's another fun time.

06:05 * ConfusionRift didn't play that game, so... pffttt.

06:09 * ConfusionRift goes on a long research journey.

06:11 <ConfusionRift> Huuuh.

06:12 <ConfusionRift> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH_aRBVcSjA

06:12 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

06:12 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Carlos Alomar - Sound Research Center

06:18 <ConfusionRift> This is gonna be impossible to find. I got very little info, and was from the 80's

06:19 <ConfusionRift> I take it back, 90's, but still.

11:22 * Schism peers at this. "Seems about right." http://www.threepanelsoul.com/comic/elden-ring-longtail-cat-talisman

11:27 <Finwe> But how do you die if you take no damage?

11:27 <ConfusionRift> Didn't Dark Souls do the same kinda trick before? :P

11:27 <Finwe> From the knowledge that you just fell down a long way?

11:28 <Schism> Well, as they say, it's not the fall that kills you.

11:29 <Finwe> But yes, the talisman only renders you immune to damage that is not sufficient to kill you.

11:30 <ConfusionRift> There's "fall damage", which is damage taken pass a certain height. However, there's a threshold. After that threshold, damage is not calculated, and you just die on landing.

11:32 <ConfusionRift> It's the case of "reduce the current health to 0 upon landing pass X height". In most cases, you move around areas where you don't take damage from falling, or you're traversing really high ledges.

11:34 <Finwe> True immunity to falling damage would present some challenges to game design, I guess.

11:34 <ConfusionRift> They're just trolls. :P

11:34 <Finwe> As simply surrounding something with high ledges would not prevent players from reaching it.

11:36 * Finwe noms on longtail cat talisman's tail.

11:37 <ConfusionRift> Then again, the game is just a massive Rube Goldberg machine for unwanted deaths.

11:50 * ConfusionRift watches Schism get hit by three enemies, bumped by an object, pushed by a trap, and ultimately landing on- dead.

11:56 <Finwe> "You fall down the stairs. You accidentally hit yourself with your cockatrice corpse. You turn to stone. You die. Do you want to see your possessions identified? (y/n)"

11:58 <Finwe> "You try to feel what is here. You feel a cockatrice corpse. You turn to stone. You die."

11:58 <Lumindia> lul what

11:59 <Finwe> "The water nymph steals your pair of gloves. You were wielding a cockatrice corpse. You turn to stone. You die."

11:59 <Lumindia> hold up

12:00 <ConfusionRift> "You see a statue. It looks oddly familiar. As you walk by, you trip on something. You turn to stone. You die."

12:01 <Schism> "Tunnels never flood." -Elon Musk

12:02 <Finwe> "You kill the gnome. But wait! The gnome's medallion begins to glow! The gnome seems in good health again. The gnome throws an egg at you. Splat! It was a cockatrice egg! You turn to stone. You die."

12:02 <Schism> Lumindia: o3o

12:03 * Finwe noms on Lumindia.

12:03 <Finwe> *omnomnom*

12:03 <Schism> Finwe: Who was that Maud person, anyway?

12:03 <Finwe> Duam Xnaht

12:03 * Schism also acquires teleportitis, and without a ring of teleport control, manages to pop right into one of the ponds surrounding Medusa, drowning.

12:04 <ConfusionRift> "You run pass the statues in a panic. You suddenly hear an alluring voice calling your name. You turn to see who called you. Are those snakes over her head? You turn to stone. You die."

12:05 <Finwe> Schism: "For, Maud, so tender and true / As long as my life endures / I feel I shall owe you a debt, / That I never can hope to pay; / And if ever I should forget / That I owe this debt to you / And for your sweet sake to yours; / O then, what then shall I say? / If ever I should forget,

12:06 <Finwe> May God make me more wretched / Than I have been yet!

12:11 <Schism> ConfusionRift: https://twitter.com/wuu211211/status/1518553109722648577/photo/1

12:11 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaaah.

12:11 <ConfusionRift> [Like]

12:13 * ConfusionRift gets a bit sad at seeing Taranza... then again, it looks like it got retconned anyways. Still sad.

12:14 <Schism> You shan't interfere with Queen Sectonia!

12:15 * Schism attacks the dragon Landia, which is certainly not a part of an evil plan at all.

12:17 <ConfusionRift> Was reminded of a detail in Planet Robobot.

12:20 <ConfusionRift> But that's just another sad point, so... guh.

12:20 <ConfusionRift> Schism And then, to a shmup section! :P

12:21 <Schism> Well, it wouldn't be a Kirby game without at least ONE, it seems.

12:24 * Schism considers. "Hmm. Well, may as well log back into my island and see how it looks with a shop, a level 2 house, and a museum."

12:32 * ConfusionRift watches someone fight against Star Dream Soul. "This is such a good fight. And very nostalgic."

12:32 <ConfusionRift> Wonder if they're gonna get blasted. :P

12:36 <ConfusionRift> They didn't... but seems they did on a previous attempt. :P

12:38 * Schism explores the underground and collects all the treasures. She in particular remembers to SHIELD AGAINST THAT DAMNED COMPUTER.

12:38 <ConfusionRift> :P

12:38 <Schism> Shielding is like the one thing I _never_ remembered to do in Kirby games.

12:39 <ConfusionRift> Mirror is protected against most attacks, and Stone is basically invincible.

12:40 <Schism> Yeah, but using Stone against the RPG boss is a losing proposition.

12:40 <ConfusionRift> Oh no, you would rather use Hammer.

12:40 <Schism> No question.

12:41 <ConfusionRift> Hammer huuurts. :P

12:41 <Schism> This we know.  :p

12:41 <ConfusionRift> And I believe does have a better shield than just plain shielding.

12:41 <Schism> I'm not sure if that's the case in Super Star, but it might!

12:42 *** Quits: Gulping (Gulping@Gulping) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

12:42 <ConfusionRift> I know some abilities provide better protection, like Mirror and Ice.

12:42 <Schism> Mirror is obvious, I don't think I've tried it with Ice.  I'll clearly have to.

12:42 * Schism also UFOs around.

12:51 <ConfusionRift> If I remember correctly, any ability in which Kirby uses something else to protect himself, aside from putting his stubby arm over his forehead, can provide more damage control. With Mirror, he has that barrier that bounces certain projectiles. Ice, he turns into a block of ice. Hammer, he uses the hammer to cover himself, similar to Parasol. Wing, covers with a wing.

12:51 <Schism> Oh, Wing was great.

12:51 <ConfusionRift> Wing was fun. :P

12:52 * Schism uses Wing against Dyna Blade, as one does.

12:52 <ConfusionRift> Bit of a glass cannon, but you can run the game pretty fast with it.

12:53 <ConfusionRift> Also require for one of the more annoying treasures.

12:54 <Schism> Egh, those treasures.

12:54 <Schism> It's always worth remembering that Kirby is part puzzle game.  :p  

12:55 * ConfusionRift sighs at the wind one with the mess of Sleep abilities, and the one that you basically need another player to open, because the CPU was dumb as nails.

13:00 <Schism> Oh, that latter one.  Ugh.  Another player or at least a second controller.
