04:03:14 syv: Hum, no Expected Response.
04:07:10 syv opens Paris' link and immediately reconsiders the wisdom of that action
04:08:25 Devastator: I'm tempted to try and help you power through PS.
04:08:45 syv: Not exactly sure how you'd do that.
04:09:20 syv: This song is *very* different from this Witch's musical style.
04:09:24 Devastator: one sentence at a time, and questions.
04:10:16 syv: Hell, it's a fair bit hoppier than even *my* tastes, and I normally really like glitchstep...
04:11:09 Devastator: basically, setting the scene and going from there.
04:12:29 syv: I already know everything that happens in the turn, all the rolls have been made, and I've decided what they mean in-universe. Only thing to do is describe it.
04:13:12 syv: I could very well answer any questions about the scene or character's actions, but that wouldn't really help.
04:16:56 Devastator: oh, was going to try and push you through describing it.
04:17:06 Devastator: I think you're doing the perfect is an enemy of good.
04:18:29 syv: Well, yes, I always do, but in this case I'd be writing about two or three bland sentences per char, which isn't exactly "good".
04:28:12 Devastator: What else is there?
04:30:10 syv: Half the point of PS is to practice my writing, descriptive and narrative. While "You shoot a guy then run into the bunker." is perfectly servicable for a game, it's not good writing.
04:30:26 Devastator: So break it down into sentences, and talk it out with someone else.
04:30:32 Devastator: I think you're getting too close to it.
04:34:45 Devastator: No external input, few breaks for other things.
04:34:57 Devastator: I think it's good that you're taking over P&P a bit, to do something else.
04:35:45 syv: Ah. Yeah, that was the intention. Something much lower effort which I can muddle through without feeling guilty about it, since I'm not attached to P&P.
04:36:38 Devastator: I wouldn't worry too much about bad sentences anyway.
04:36:53 Devastator: do some basic stuff, show it to someone else, have them help fill things out.
04:46:31 Devastator: watching someone play smash brothers 4.
04:46:44 Devastator: 'Bowser Junior first appeared in Super Mario Sunshine'
04:46:54 Devastator: No, that was Yoshi's Isle.
04:48:51 Devastator: Nintendo should get their own facts right.
04:50:48 syv: Heh. Kinda incompetent, but the guy who wrote that probably never knew anyone who worked on either game.
04:54:33 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:54:35 syv: They really should have someone who knows the series better writing thst stuff.
04:55:01 ER: hmm, thought I might find you
04:55:17 syv: I'm here almost every Sunday morning.
04:55:24 Devastator: Also, Sunshine didn't go down as one of the better ones, and YI was popular after the fact. With VC, I'd expect YI to show up often.
04:59:50 Devastator: Anyway, what happened with the turn, if you already know?
04:59:54 Devastator: Are we in combat now?
05:00:36 syv: Alida ends up inside the labyrinth.
05:06:47 Meh has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:08:04 ER: going to need to make a clone in order to get my PS fix
05:12:31 syv: Ah. Didn't think he was around this late/early.
05:13:03 Meh: Mibbit woldn't let me usethat Nick for some reason
05:13:05 syv: Excrutiating Refinement, Equal Raptor?
05:13:49 syv: Mibbit might be annoying, but Darkmyst is cooperative.
05:13:50 Oz: I was actually planning on doing so, if it mattered
05:14:07 Oz: It just woldn't let meset my username ot that when Ilogged in
05:14:45 Oz: Yeah, one of these days I'll make thesimple effort to switch clients
05:15:00 Devastator: How's Freddie doing?
05:15:29 Oz: He's developing a mental map of the neural net
05:15:45 Oz: so he's starting to learn which sensations go with which experiences
05:17:04 Oz: He's not going to reach that food by stretching his neck though
05:18:00 Oz: Ugh, I slept fitfully today
05:19:35 Devastator: well, after that is 'grab something with mouth.
05:20:05 Devastator: and then 'try to move wings a bit.'
05:20:28 Devastator: I suppose other than that there's trying to melt whatever it's standing on.
05:21:36 Devastator: all I've got from sensations is various flavours of pain from neck movements and a tummy feeling from having the mouth open.
05:23:23 Oz: not realy various flavors of pain
05:23:36 Oz: you did feel nausea at one point due to a bad roll
05:24:02 Oz: but things like "a humming sensation" don't realy describe pain, do they?
05:24:37 Oz: If so, I've been living a life of surprising agony.
05:25:22 Devastator: Ahh, that was the one from the open mouth.
05:41:49 Oz: so, what's evryone up to lately?
05:46:34 Oz: yeah? congrats, and my sympathies
05:47:04 Oz: manual labor can be rewarding, though. Or it ca nbe absolute shit
06:12:10 Devastator: It's temporary, but the pay is okay.
06:12:33 Devastator: It's what I say when I said there's always work available up here. There are always jobs like this one.
06:12:48 Devastator: Hell, if you were to walk in Monday when I start my shift you could get a job, easy.
06:14:58 Devastator: You good at spending eight hours on your feet continually?
06:15:36 syv: You good st surviving freezing cold temperatures during the heat of the day?
06:17:56 Oz: you good at ... maple syru ... apolog ... saying eh ... hmm, these are all amusing stereotypes. Who wrote this application?
07:44:15 parisbre56[Away] is now known as parisbre56
07:45:06 parisbre56: Not the witch's musical style you say? Then perhaps she's an 80's Disco Witch?
07:45:29 parisbre56: Or a synthwave power glove wielding witch?
07:45:52 parisbre56: or maybe a psytrance witch
07:50:35 parisbre56: heh, yeah, that. dance to the rythm if you want to survive my labyrinth
07:50:48 parisbre56: goodbye people with low joy
07:50:56 syv: 80s Disco is actually pretty close.
07:51:26 parisbre56: Is she called the Dancing Queen?
07:51:45 ER: that should be the level 3 for irresistable dance really. Not harder to follow than 2, just fucking kills you if you miss a beat.
07:52:52 syv: It would then be a penalty, so nobody wise would take it, sadly.
07:53:39 parisbre56: with roller blades, I imagine
07:53:39 Devastator: Nah, Michael Jackson.
07:55:15 syv: Ooh, I usually don't much like Carpenter Brut, but this one's good.
07:55:57 syv: That image is also ridiculously well fitting for this witch.
07:56:40 Devastator: Thriller would be a hell of a song to fight against, though. Explicit lyrics that would be terrible.
07:57:31 parisbre56: glad my silly jokes and references were of any use to you <3
07:58:02 parisbre56: everyone would have to do the zombie
07:58:10 syv: Like half of PS is made from silly jokes and references~
07:58:38 syv: Just, I have a habit of replacing the silly with suffering.
07:59:06 parisbre56: that could be a tagline if it wasn't that long
07:59:34 parisbre56: Maybe a description for the RTD Hall of Fame
07:59:48 Devastator: (Sadly, mine is taken.)
08:00:07 syv: "It's half silly jokes and references, except I replaced 'silly' with 'suffering'."
08:00:22 ER: my sig is always open, but that also means it won't stay long ;P
08:00:27 syv: I like "Bodies are disposable."
08:02:44 syv: Hall of Fame quote, were I to choose, would probably something more like "I wanted to write a happy story, but that's boring and hard so instead I ended up torturing little girls."
08:02:59 syv: Does the HoF even really exist anymore?
08:03:15 ER: it's been replaced by discord~
08:04:12 parisbre56: Last I remember NAV was running it? But I think he isn't around as much
08:04:27 syv: Eventually Bay12 itself will be replaced with Discord, and I'll have to find myself a new community filled entirely with
Dev-like Goblins.
08:04:50 ER: "I have been putting this off, mostly because of college and work. I'll update it soon."
08:05:20 Devastator: Yeah. He's out of town for post-exams fun.
08:05:25 Devastator: should be back in this week.
08:16:55 parisbre56: You are now in my SIG
syv
08:17:05 parisbre56: take power from this dark ritual
08:17:17 parisbre56: and use it to buy... I dunno
08:17:39 parisbre56: what do people wish for these days?
08:19:04 Devastator: They wish for more anime figurines.
08:19:28 ER: they wish that tank combat were a spectator sport
08:19:50 Devastator: And for revealing skimpy maid costumes to be the current fashion. ;-p
08:20:17 parisbre56: good, go buy some badly thought out anime tank combat in skimpy maid suits
08:20:25 parisbre56: I'm sure that's out there somewhere
08:21:12 ER: I think "badly thought out" is redundant there
08:21:25 Devastator: And for catgirls to be a real thing, who form gangs, that fight it out in the city. And are invisible and unnoticeable by all mundanes save for himself. ;-p
08:21:38 syv: Still tempted to have televised tank combat shows in PS.
08:21:59 parisbre56: hey, it could be a masterpiece, you can't judge a book by its cover. Even when said cover has a tank wearing lipstick
08:22:59 syv: Wait, actual tanks which are in maid outfits? Nah, I think they just make the tanks look like anime girls. That way they have tits. The tits are apparently required.
08:23:01 ER: I assumed that it was the tank crew wearing maid uniforms, because I have too many sanity points
08:23:51 ER: hey, an idea for if Simon manages to hold onto his tank
08:24:49 syv: He should put Alice in a maid uniform?
08:24:59 Devastator: Yes, if Alice is the name of the tank.
08:25:20 parisbre56:
ER, your eyes are yet to open
08:25:41 Devastator: I think I remember hearing about a dating sim where all the girls were also tanks.
08:26:05 parisbre56: Corpselot did a playthrough of that and it was hilarious
08:26:28 syv: Yeah. IIRC it also had them still capable of using their cannons, despite no such things existing.
08:26:51 syv: ...It was? It's an amusing concept, but I can't see it being anything but cringe.
08:27:00 Devastator: They simultaneously exist and don't exist.
08:27:24 ER: that's not what quantum means ree
08:28:59 parisbre56: I believe I actually linked this to
syv in the past
08:28:59 parisbre56: he must have represeed it
08:29:07 Devastator: Or ran from it screaming.
08:30:36 Devastator: okay, so pink-haired girl is a T-34.
08:30:41 Devastator: and I have no desire to watch any of it.
08:30:50 syv: That's *three hours* of cringey text date narration.
08:31:32 syv: To be fair it's probably not much worse than spending three hours reading SCP articles, but at least SCP involves lots of people dying.
08:31:32 parisbre56: to his credit, the guy actually finished it. and probably burned the computer afterwards to sanitize it
08:32:05 Devastator: There are some pretty shitty SCP articles.
08:35:24 syv: Clicked it because I'm not doing anything better, and he only gets past the title screen two minutes in. -.-
08:36:00 syv: At least he has to courtesy to critique it as he plays, unlike *some* people.
08:36:12 Devastator: I think it would take me two minutes to get past the title screen.
08:37:22 ER: hmm, wonder how long the title screen took me when I played ddlc
08:37:31 syv: It has nothing particularly bad, just words.
08:37:33 Devastator: dunno, didn't see that.
08:38:02 syv: I don't remember you idling a long time, but I'm unsure if I was even there.
08:38:21 ER: you were certainly there for *parts* of it
08:38:43 syv: Yeah, and at least part of the start. I remember really hating Sayori's face.
08:39:43 syv: And at least *part* of the school. But I left after awhile because it was intolerable and didn't have anything bad for way too long.
08:40:28 ER: pratically the whole game is the school
08:40:39 Devastator: Except for the part where you're locked in the room.
08:40:43 ER: though the few parts that aren't are wonderful~
08:41:12 parisbre56: Hey,
syv, irrelevant, did you finish Iji?
08:41:15 syv: I rejoined a little before she committed suicide, and the school parts after that were okay.
08:42:34 ER: you should keep playing, and try to get the "pacifist" ending, because it's hilarious
08:42:53 syv: I think I'm kinda late for a pacifist run.
08:43:01 ER: Though you probably have too many kills for it
08:43:38 syv: Well, I've endeavored to kill basically every single thing I possibly can kill, and last beat the flying gun drone thing...
08:44:12 ER: yeah, killing every single thing you can find is pretty good
08:44:52 ER: that will let you get "full berserk" at least, which is also hilarious, but not QUITE as hilarious as pacifist mode.
08:45:21 syv: I've probably missed some things, mind.
08:45:26 ER: anyway, you should finish the game so that I can show you the funny ending :V
08:45:31 Devastator: pacifist ending kinda sucks.
08:45:57 syv: Doesn't Iji as a whole suck,
Dev?
08:46:21 Devastator: It's about 66% suck.
08:49:45 syv: Or, to put it more negativistically, has below average lack of quality.
08:50:23 Devastator: Yeah, but why would I grade above average as good?
08:50:58 syv: How much does Dark Souls 1 suck?
08:52:01 Devastator: It was pretty fun. I'd say it was about 50-50.
08:53:31 syv: Hey, that's mean
ER, even I'd only put Alleg's suck around 85%.
08:55:36 ER: I've never even played it, it didn't work on my computer
08:56:05 ER: theoretically it should work now that I've "upgraded" my OS, but fuck it
08:56:35 ER: too close to an RTS, which are universally cancer ;P
08:56:52 Devastator: Yeah, it's got lots of RTS elements.
08:57:04 syv: It *is* an RTS, just, players control the units.
08:57:41 ER: honestly, if I wanted that I'd probably rather natural selection
08:57:59 syv: Play Running With Rifles instead.
MJ finally got it working on his comp, so we could all play together a few months from now when our schedules somehow magically line up.
08:59:33 Devastator: Well.. not so much if you're just flying. You should know what's going on, but 95% of the details become mostly irrelevant.
09:00:02 syv: Yeah, you just control one of the units.
09:00:33 ER: hah, I'd play it with you if you bought it for me...
09:00:43 syv: What if I find you a torrent?
09:01:49 syv: He has a heavily outdated version which he can't update and which worked for playing with Aig.
09:02:45 syv: ...
Dev, have you gotten Aig to play Alleg?

09:06:25 syv: Also thanks
Paris, for giving us logs.
09:06:53 syv: Anyway, I can only see one 1.65 version download for RwR, with one seed and no skull.
09:06:57 ER: hey fekkin
parisbre56[Away] where ya gone to
09:08:34 syv: Wonder if just giving you files from my own 1.65 would work to upgrade 1.63. IIRC all the patchnotes had described things which would be in those files.

09:09:48 syv: Do you recall where your version came from,
Dev?
09:13:17 syv:
ER? Are you gonna try that torrent?
09:14:00 ER: apparantly you just now found it and it has no skull
09:14:51 Devastator: Nah, can't pick it up tonight.
09:14:58 Devastator: give me a link sometime during the week.
09:15:19 Devastator: my bandwidth is not to be.
09:15:26 syv: I was more asking because if you know the source, that'd help knowing whether this source is also okay.
09:16:06 syv: This one was UL'd by the same guy as the top-seeded older versions, and they don't have any complaints on them or anything, so I think it's likely safe. Just prolly slow to download.
09:16:39 syv: Are you just unwilling regardless,
ER?
09:19:05 syv: Every time I've seen that it downloaded eventually, even if it had 0 seeds whenever I checked. *shrug*.
09:47:59 ER: the readme has a link to some torrent site and says "ALL GAME ARE FREE"

ER: My connection out here is crap
09:52:11 syv: Where are you, if you don't mind my asking?
09:53:05 parisbre56: Right now? Northern Greece, a nice exotic place whose name translates to Valley of the Saints
09:53:51 syv: Ooh.
MJ went to Greece a little while back. Sent me pictures, it was quite pretty.
09:53:59 syv: Never hward of that valley though.
09:54:54 parisbre56: Eh, it's not a very famous place. Just got an old house here from my grandparents.
09:55:18 parisbre56: If you believe the rumors, it's actually named so because they used to grow weed in the hills
09:56:23 syv: Saints grow weed? Okay then.
09:56:59 syv: I guess if you share it readily that'd sorta-saintly.
10:16:46 ER: apparantly, in the next version of DF you can start an adventure with a party of multiple people, and swap control between them
10:18:16 ER: also apparantly a more turn-based interface for controlling everyone at once

10:27:48 parisbre56: luckily I'll be back to civilization soon
10:28:24 ER: ooo, eat one of the grasshoppers
10:28:35 syv: I will look forward to it! Cat media is best media.
10:42:50 parisbre56: There's a kitten here. He's the personification of why cats are murdering machines. He will kill anything that moves. Grasshoppers, spiders, cicadas, butterflies, birds... His owner named him Trump :P
10:44:17 syv: Sounds like a high-quality cat though, just the best kind.
11:01:07 parisbre56 is now known as parisbre56[Away]
11:39:08 ER: so what should the written down things for refine be like
11:40:10 syv: Uhh. Mechanics that you want to be known powers, the setting as known to the characters, slight hints of more stuff than they should know.

18:55:42 MJ: By hand you mean a literal hand right?
18:57:12 Devastator: New job is manual labour.
18:57:51 MJ: Well glad your hands not bothering you.
19:00:49 Devastator: Anyway, gotta mow the lawn today.
19:02:01 MJ: Ah, well hope it's not too hot.
19:04:21 MJ: It's like 90 and 75% humidty here so most outdoors activities could be described as please god no right now.
19:05:06 Devastator: Nah, it's hot here today.
19:15:31 Devastator: Nah, not so bad. I'll be fine.
19:16:30 Devastator: I'm disappointed that the Knights of the Skies arms race isn't about knights riding flying mounts.
19:20:18 Devastator: which is understandable, but still.
19:27:34 MJ: Ah, still cool, WW1 airplanes are fun.
19:28:23 MJ: But an arms race involving animals rather than machines might be fun, you can like genetically engineer the mounts for different traits.
19:31:58 Devastator: I'll be updating battlemobs next weekend.
19:36:53 Devastator: Some of the rolls have been done already.
19:37:10 Devastator: radiation man got most of it out of the habitat.
19:38:55 Devastator: Yeah, he had orders to clean up some of it, and got a 5/6 for an 80% cleanup.
19:41:53 Devastator: Not really enough, but it will cut the casulty rate.
19:47:02 Devastator: Are you in Battlemobs? I don't have my notes open.
19:55:32 Devastator: Was going to reveal some more stuff, but nope. ;-p

23:28:30 Devastator: Happy to see you bakc.
23:29:35 MJ: Ah, happy to be back. Sundays are like the only days I really have free time.
23:30:35 Devastator: Any ideas as to what to do for the biomod round in battlemobs?
23:30:59 MJ: what do you mean? Like how to do it? Or ideas for what people can do?
23:31:21 Devastator: Yeah, say something you'd like to try.
23:32:08 MJ: Hmm, how about giving them like acidic alien blood? Would that be a thing that could happen?
23:33:00 Devastator: It'd be pretty doable. I think you've got two minuses there, but that's doable.
23:33:32 MJ: Hmm how about giving them like bone armor plates like some of MP's beasts had.
23:33:43 Devastator: That'd be zero minuses, so pretty easy.
23:34:03 Devastator: You get a pretty big bonus during the biomodification rounds, so you can do stuff more extreme than usual.
23:35:41 MJ: Hmm, how about massivelly slowing their perception of time too the point where a bullet looks like it's moving in slow motion?
23:35:57 Devastator: Yeah. Two minuses because you're dealing with something metabolism related for one, and something that will cause pregnancy difficulties for two.
23:36:41 Devastator: Hyper-speed brains will be one for anything related to physical functionality of brains, and another one due to parenting incompatabilities.. it would be tough for dog parents to raise such a child.
23:39:56 Devastator: I'm not quite sure how I'd score them stat wise, but all three of those would have some benefit.
23:41:28 MJ: hmm, What about like a bone spike launcher?
23:42:21 MJ: I need to catch up on that, I've fallen behidn
23:42:54 Devastator: Bone spike launcher would take more details, but something like that would probably be doable.
23:43:01 Devastator: but expect something more like quills than actual bones.
23:44:28 Devastator: I like where this update is going.
23:44:36 Devastator: "How much imp gall is there?"
23:45:19 MJ: ....clearlly things have happened since I've been away.
23:45:40 Devastator: "Also, I’m looking at your leyline and it’s awful. I didn’t even know Mundus looped at the edges, you drew actual pictures with it on your way here, and pulling even our weakest model along this would take more mana than you will ever have in your life. "
23:47:08 Devastator: I'm not in it. It seems pretty
ER-like with everyone following around everyone else.
23:56:51 Devastator: On the other hand, someone got wounded.
