05:51 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
05:54 * Ali curls up onto ConfusionRift
05:55 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.
05:55 * Ali blehs a little as unicorn is a bit sad her Jolteon star is damaged
05:56 <ConfusionRift> Blarg. :<
05:56 <Ali> They were starting to slip out of the binder so I got perfect fit sleeves
05:57 <Ali> Tad too late for Jolt, as when I pulled it out to look at it, it had a big crease forming on it
05:57 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh.
05:59 * Ali snuffles into ConfusionRift and blehs at storms
06:00 <ConfusionRift> I ordered those oversized starter Pokemon cards from the anniversary set, and that was a big mistake, going for the cheaper route.
06:02 <ConfusionRift> I ordered some stuff to get a discount on shipping, and they packaged it right on the middle. So all the cards were bent and creased.
06:03 <Ali> Whoops
06:03 <ConfusionRift> Nothing in comparison to that card. Eeesh!
06:03 <Ali> The problem for me is if I want to replace Jolt Star, the price is pretty bad on it
06:03 <Ali> Around 200-300
06:03 <ConfusionRift> In mint? Yes, very much so.
06:03 <Ali> Well Jolt was mint
06:04 <Ali> but I don't know what happened to it
06:04 <ConfusionRift> Are the pages side inserted, or top?
06:04 <Ali> Top loaded
06:07 <ConfusionRift> I have been using top loaders for my dex-binder, and do on occasions move around, despite minimal movement. I got all my foils and important cards on a zippered side loader. I do notice they much a lot less, and when they do, they tend to slide right back into the page sleeve.
06:08 <Ali> I can't really change it in a way
06:08 <Ali> Cause the binder is an HS Undaunted Espeon and Umbreon binder
06:08 <ConfusionRift> Oh, integrated pages.
06:09 <ConfusionRift> That's a nice binder.
06:09 <Ali> It really is, but nowadays a new one is way too much
06:09 * ConfusionRift looks at his boring pleather binder, and zippered binder.
06:09 <ConfusionRift> Close to $200.
06:10 * Ali cries softly
06:10 <ConfusionRift> Used.
06:10 <Ali> I'd prefer another one just to keep the Eeveelutions theme going, but 200 a binder in insane
06:12 <Ali> I just wish I had a way to know all the eeveelution cards cause I just can't keep track of them all as soon it'll spill out of the single binder I have.
06:15 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Quit: Leaving)
06:18 <ConfusionRift> Ah, they do have a B/W one, nice... $70... no thank you. Still, again, nothing in comparison to that binder.
06:23 * ConfusionRift sighs, not a lot of awesome binders like that one.
06:31 * ConfusionRift laughs as the Forest Temple theme from OoT gets ruined. :P
06:37 *** Joins: Golden (uid250033@Pony-lhph9k.lymington.irccloud.com)
06:38 <Ali> Borest Temple you mean ConfusionRift
06:39 <ConfusionRift> I thought it was the Long And Drought Out Temple... I mean, Water Temple.
06:42 <Ali> THe problem with Forest, cause I play it in OoTR
06:42 <Ali> Is no matter what you do, what you have
06:43 <Ali> You have to do forest the same way EVERY time
06:43 <ConfusionRift> Right, since it's for one item, and really has little space for anything different, aside from what you get.
06:43 <Ali> The only shortcut is called 3 key forest, and even that doesn't stop you from having to kill the two poes before the 3rd to make the 4th appear
06:44 <Ali> ConfusionRift, not for rando
06:44 <Ali> There could be lots of things in there
06:44 <Ali> but you have to go the same way every time
06:44 <Ali> Courtyard, loop around, push the stupid blocks
06:44 <Ali> Shoot the eye switch to check the chests there
06:44 <Ali> Then shoot it again to return the room to twisted
06:45 <Ali> Kill a poe, kill skellies, kill the 2nd poe
06:45 <Ali> Its just the same thing no matter if its the first logical dungeon, or the last
06:47 <ConfusionRift> Since it was supposed to be the first temple, the requirements is just one item. So it's mostly a linear path. All that would change is the chest contents. You can either do it normally, or slightly quicker. :P
06:47 <Ali> ConfusionRift, that is wrong
06:47 <Ali> Forest requires 3 items for completion
06:48 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait... you're right.
06:48 <Ali> Bow, Hookshot, Strength 1 [Goron Bracelet]
06:48 <ConfusionRift> Hookshot, bow, br- yeah, those.
06:49 <ConfusionRift> Still, other items don't do much, aside from making it a bit easier, and it's already easy as is.
06:49 <Ali> Well Hover boots breaks it a tad
06:50 <Ali> Heck Forest, Fire, and Water are all busted up by the Hover Boots
06:50 <Ali> Since the dungeons were never designed for you to have them at that point
06:50 * ConfusionRift walks on lava.
06:53 * Ali stands in the poison in composer grave.
06:55 * ConfusionRift offers some cheesy breadsticks.
06:56 * ConfusionRift hears something while someone ventures in the Fire Temple.
06:56 <ConfusionRift> Oh, they have an early version copy!
06:58 * Ali chants while having a islamic symbol on her mirror shield while ganon bleeds red
06:58 <ConfusionRift> Yep!
07:00 <Ali> OoTR uses the 1.0 build
07:00 <ConfusionRift> Aah.
07:00 <Ali> So you have chanting Fire
07:01 <Ali> Honestly its better than what they replaced it with, it just sounds like they used Shadow Temple again
07:02 <ConfusionRift> Yep. Well, that part always sounded a bit muted, so having something taking the space is nice.
07:03 * ConfusionRift wonders if a lot of these changes in games are due to people complaining, or because ONE person complained and they chickened out.
07:04 <Ali> Wouldn't be surprised if it was the later
07:04 <Ali> Companies love to fold to the 1%
07:06 <ConfusionRift> Yep, which is sad, because it makes no sense most of the time.

12:50 * Schism waves a fishing rod at ConfusionRift.
12:51 * ConfusionRift waves Schism with his own... it breaks. Maybe it would've been better for him to use something else other than twigs and duct tape. :P
12:51 * Schism blinks. She crafts a new one for ConfusionRift out of five tree branches. (He can get his own iron nugget, she jealously hoards them.)
12:52 <ConfusionRift> Got iron tools as well. Now... the gold tools are a pain.
12:52 <Schism> I'm pretty sure that outside of the slingshot, I'm not going to be making anything out of gold.
12:52 <Schism> Maybe a King Tut Mask.
12:53 <ConfusionRift> I think one of the more viable would be the axe, since it just requires for you to break a bunch of axes.
12:54 <Schism> Yeah, but it only lasts for 300 swings instead of 100, so honestly I'd just cart around a bunch of stone/iron axen at that point.
12:54 <Schism> Gold nuggets are rare enough that I can't be bothered to waste them on that.
12:55 * ConfusionRift also gives Schism a bucket, so she can feel more comfortable while harvesting stuff and interacting with animal villagers. :P
12:56 * Schism headtilts. She knows not what a bucket does! But she puts it on her head anyway.
12:56 <ConfusionRift> Ah, that works too. Gives Defense +2. :P
12:56 <Schism> What a heckuva difference a year makes... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/816519571015729162/970062823382200330/unknown.png
12:59 <ConfusionRift> Sure is.
13:01 <Schism> I'm still floored at the fact that I'm ... this now. Rough around the edges, but most folks are.
13:14 <ConfusionRift> Huh, they changed the Minecraft segment to... no way... HAH! He called soccer "sportsball"! Yes! :P
13:14 <Schism> YES! Rocket League.
13:15 <Schism> And before that, Firewatch... "Oh, no no no no NO, Stanley! You can't go out there! This is too open world! Good heavens, what might have you gotten yourself into. No, a nice walled garden, that's what you need."
13:16 <ConfusionRift> "No right paths, no wall, the freedom to go anywhere and every-" (groans)
13:16 <Schism> I love it. <3 I loved the original, I love this one.
13:17 <Schism> Actually, that was the first path I even took. Because YES, I'm going to screw up the narrative at every conceivable opportunity. (And now, the Confusion ending.)
13:18 * ConfusionRift got the buttons ending. :P
13:19 <Schism> 8.
13:19 <ConfusionRift> 8
13:19 <Schism> 8.
13:19 <ConfusionRift> 8
13:19 <ConfusionRift> :P
13:19 <Schism> Okay, that's enough of that. 8P
13:19 <ConfusionRift> Eight.
13:19 * ConfusionRift gets bricked.
13:20 <Schism> Now, how would you eight-- I mean, rate this game, on a scale of one to five? Be honest. Your opinion... matters.
13:21 <Schism> Really, the best choose-your-own-adventure book of 2013...
13:22 * ConfusionRift chuckled at them having Jim Sterling's review basically on a podium.
13:22 <Schism> Hee. They even asked what name they'd prefer to use.
13:23 <ConfusionRift> I also wonder if the negative reviews are actually on the original game store page.
13:23 <ConfusionRift> Very likely.
13:23 <Schism> Quite probably!
13:27 <ConfusionRift> Also, I didn't know this, but there's a way to jump off the moving platform leading to the phone room, without triggering the death wall. It's a softlock though.
13:28 <Schism> Huh. That's pretty random. Though I know that's how you get to the other-games ending anyway...
13:34 <ConfusionRift> That figuring recollection video... friggin' 360p on Windows Movie Maker... I feel called out. :P
13:46 <Schism> "Ugh, this is giving me a migraine." "Well, it's a pretty complicated system--" "NO. You mistake me. The system, I understand. I'm good with systems. But this has so many broken pieces, and later things which depend on them being broken, that the whole thing should be binned and set aflame."
13:47 * Schism is good with systems. It's her THING, one might say. But she is so fed up with systems which are broken because someone said 'good enough' and then someone else built on that. It's like a castle on sand!
13:48 <Schism> Or a castle built in a swamp! Which caught fire, burned down and then sank into the swamp.
13:50 * ConfusionRift points at the software at work.
13:51 <ConfusionRift> The other day, the time clock system stopped working. EVERYTHING stopped working shortly after.
13:52 <ConfusionRift> The intranet is dependent on associates being on the clock, and every other piece of software required for them to be logged in and authenticated, which wasn't happening due to the clock failure.
13:52 <Schism> That sounds like you have an older version of Kronos running.
13:53 <Schism> Wait, who the hell ties the intranet's very existence to Kronos?
13:54 <Schism> I could log into the VPN right this very moment, log and close a case, and nobody would bat an eye. I'd not do it, as I'm off the clock, but I could.
13:57 <ConfusionRift> "The new system is so much better than the old system. This system is far more accurate, accessible, and doesn't depend on specific devices." | All our on-hands and backroom counts are off, the system randomly logs me out despite me not logging out, a single clock disconnection drops all software use on the spot, the system cannot save punches, there's this odd gimmick of creating a different shift after clocking out past
13:57 <ConfusionRift> 11:59pm, and the scheduling system SUCKS.
13:57 <ConfusionRift> Oh, fun fact, software is still on beta.
13:59 <Schism> Good gods. But it's 'better' because it was developed in house, or because they managed to get a support contract for much less than the old one?
14:01 <ConfusionRift> I think it's cheaper support, since the old system had multiple separate modules. This one's a larger system with integrated modules. Basically everything runs under the same system, except the intranet. However, it is still dependent.
14:02 <Schism> That's one hell of a point of failure, ultimately.
14:04 <Schism> Also, creating a different shift past 11:59 - since I went supervisor/T2, I have not had a single night when I logged out at EOS, and on Thursday, I logged out at 12:30.
14:09 <ConfusionRift> Okay, so here's the thing. Let's say you're working 3pm to 12am, but something happens that you end up clocking out at 12:35am. What the system does is keep the log of you're clock in, lunch leave, lunch return, a clock out at 12am, a following shift clock in at 12am, then the clock out at 12:35am.
14:11 <ConfusionRift> But wait! That makes sense systematically! The system keeps logs separate by 24 hour periods, which is the most sensible way to do it. Thing is, that introduces unnecessary issues.
14:12 <Schism> Like the system not clocking you back in at 12:35.
14:12 <Schism> Er, 12:00.
14:12 <ConfusionRift> It actually does, but that's not the major problem.
14:13 <ConfusionRift> Systematically, you already started a shift the next day. So, if you return later in the evening to clock in, it sometimes thinks you're jumping into a second shift in the same day.
14:13 <ConfusionRift> That's a red flag.
14:14 <Schism> Aha.
14:15 <ConfusionRift> Or if you're off the next day, the system can send a red flag for "cutting the shift short", or "working outside scheduled hours".
14:16 <ConfusionRift> H.R. is basically managing that, and it's a waste of time. That could potentially get someone in trouble for no reason.

14:24 <Schism> "This system is far more accurate, accessible, and doesn't depend on specific devices."
14:27 <ConfusionRift> "There's free shipping!" | Useless. Third party products are not discounted and still have to pay shipping. | "You get rewards on fuel!" | Don't have a car. | "...free streaming services?" | I don't use them. | "Damn, okay, never mind."
14:28 <Schism> Yeah, you get Great Value products for whatever, but ehghhhh.
14:28 <ConfusionRift> I also don't like the idea of them charging me for the W+, then refunding it. That's gonna be a point of pain if I don't get refunded.
14:29 <Schism> If that's dependent upon people actually calling in to dispute, then that's purest fuckery.
